About this episode
This episode discusses how Chinese military intelligence is recruiting cleared personnel through online platforms and the implications for job security and personal safety.

This isn’t theory. People have lost their jobs, their clearances, and their freedom. In this episode, we break down exactly how the operation works, who’s being targeted, and what you need to do right now to protect yourself and the people around you.
