Listen "China, The Pope, and UFOs"
Episode Synopsis
This week, hosts Jim Ludes and Mark Jacobson discuss reports that the United States is poorly prepared for China's enhanced ability to conduct cognitive warfare, even while India warns its citizens to avoid using the TikTok-refugee platform of choice in the United States: Chinese-owned RedNote. They then turn their attention to reports of synthetic media impersonating Pope Leo XIV while Target deals with a campaign to amplify criticisms of its policy shift around DEI programs. Finally, the hosts discuss reports that much of the UFO mythology of the last 80 years grows from U.S. disinformation campaigns to protect legitimate national security secrets.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
