Last week I was a Guest on the First Episode of the BLUF Podcast, hosted by @artoriastech where we discussed the at the time, upcoming Israeli Retaliatory Strike against Iran. While the Strike has now occurred, it is interesting to look back on some of our Predictions that were correct and some that were not even close; with Episode 2 of the Podcast coming out later this Week, where we discuss the Regional Ramifications of the Strike and what we could see moving forward in the Conflict between Israel and Iran. You can find the BLUF Podcast streaming on both Spotify and Apple Podcasts, with it coming soon to other Platforms, including YouTube and X.

While the Podcast so far has been Great, I have been absolutely blown away with how far Artorias has come in the just a few Months. Their Daily and Hourly Intelligence Updates on Ukraine and Israel are beyond Impressive, and they are now up to Five Data Stream for different Conflict Zones around the World; with them still seeking both Commercial and Private Clients who wish to see what AI is able to do for Open-Source Intelligence Gathering and Analysis. If you are at all Interested, be sure to Check-Out their X Account at @artoriastech as well their Website for Instant Updates and Alpha/Beta Tests as they continue to Grow.
