    Ep. 22 – Seeing The Future: Foresight and Geopolitics with Aarathi Krishnan

    Aarathi Krishnan sees a multi-faceted future. It's not one which is determined by a single power, chokepoint, or technology. In fact, it is co-created by a wide range of ever-changing factors which must be understood in concert with one another. This is the work that she has done for 20 years through emerging economies and fragile nations to the halls of power at the World Economic Forum. This is a conversation which goes beyond conflict in the headlines and into the realm of human understanding. If you enjoy what we do here make sure to like, subscribe, and share with someone who wants to understand how under reported stories change the world without making headlines. Aarathi Krishnan is the Founder and CEO of RAKSHA Intelligence Futures, an anticipatory intelligence firm that identifies structural fractures across geopolitics, capital markets, and technology 6 to 18 months before they surface as crises. She is the originator of the Quiet Fracture Protocol™(QFP™), a proprietary analytical framework now used by institutional clients to detect systemic vulnerabilities invisible to conventional risk analysis.

    Ep. 21 – The Secret of Jekyll Island: Making the Federal Reserve

    It reads like a thriller. A secret meeting of the most powerful people in the United States. Only first names. An agreement which would change the course of the United States and the world in one fell swoop. This is how the Federal Reserve was born and the decisions made on Jekyll Island continue to direct the world using the machinery of finance.

    Ep. 20 – Fighting in the Gray Zone: Russia’s Way of War with Simon Ostrovsky

Simon Ostrovsky is a PBS NewsHour Special Correspondent and one of the founders of VICE News, where he covered the outbreak of war in Ukraine and conflicts around the world.

    Ep. 19 – A Dangerous Game: Naval Mavericks and Warfare with Peter Moore

    Peter Moore is one of the rare historians who is able to build a bridge between the obscure figures of the past and the lives of his readers. Through deep primary-source research he lets his subjects speak in their own words about high adventure, warfare, loss, struggle, and even happiness. This discussion looks at what the life of a maverick naval hero teaches us about today. He is the author of five works of history, including the Sunday Times bestsellers The Weather Experiment and Endeavour. His latest book is A Dangerous Game, a new biography of Thomas Cochrane.

    Ep. 18 – Burning Down The House: Banks that Broke America

    Debt can crush a person, but it can also burn a nation to the ground. The early banks of the United States held the seeds of their own destruction but they created the foundations of national finance we use today. What was Hamilton's vision of a national monetary system? Was it a blessing or a curse?

    Power is all about controlling the one thing that everyone needs. Water is the most important thing in the world and anyone who could command the headwaters turned into a god.

    Ep. 13 – The Treaty That Worked: The most successful international agreement you've never heard about

    Modern history leads us to believe that it's impossible for countries to come to an agreement on anything, let alone everything. However, there was one time in history where every country in the world came together to stop something that was an existential threat. Treaties solved a problem and that may be one of the reasons we don't think about it too much today.

    Ep. 12 – War is for Losers: Here’s how heroes build peace

    We’re led to believe that peace is just the absence of war. The people who want us to believe that benefit from war. The reality is that the infrastructure of peace is being built all around us, we just don’t notice it. Today we look at the stories of people who don’t appear on the front pages of newspapers because they’re busy preventing the wars we’ve never heard about – because they’ve never happened.

    The age of drone warfare has done something unexpected: it's driven soldiers underground. When everything above the surface can be watched, tracked, and targeted, the tunnel becomes the new trench. This week, The Under Report goes beneath the battlefield exploring how militaries around the world are building, mapping, and fighting inside the earth's forgotten infrastructure.

    Ep. 04 — Your Brain on War: The relationship between drugs and conflict

    War doesn't just consume drugs, it manufactures them. Methamphetamine powered the Blitzkrieg. A Holocaust-connected pharmaceutical company created the pill that became Syria's fifty-seven billion dollar narco-state. DARPA is building a stimulant you activate with a laser beam through a soldier's skull. And the most effective PTSD treatment ever recorded is classified alongside heroin. This is the oldest relationship in human conflict and nobody's talking about it. The Under Report is written and read by Eric Czuleger, author, journalist, and intelligence analyst.

    Ep. 03 — How to Make a Country

    What is a country? Eric Czuleger has spent the better part of a decade living in unrecognized nations attempting to answer that question. This led to him writing You Are Not Here: Travels Through Countries That Don't Exist, a journey which took him from being an English teacher in Iraqi Kurdistan to becoming an ambassador from one unrecognized country to another. (Liberland to another Somaliland). His next mission is finding out how countries are made by trying to create one from the ground up. But to do that its important to remember why nation-states were started in the first place. “How to Make a Country” is a live episode of The Under Report, performed at the Saturday Salon in Newport Beach California. This episode was written and read by Eric Czuleger. It was shot by Joe Hill of Dangerous Company. Audio and video production as well as original music and sounds by Savannah Fortis.

Listener discretion is advised, sensitive topics are discussed. This episode was written and read by Eric Czuleger and produced by Savannah Fortis, with original music and sounds by Savannah Fortis.
