The Intelligence Briefing / Spiderweb: Ark Midnight – Ep. 473

January 10, 2026
Episode Description:
Show Title: Spiderweb
Tonight’s intelligence briefing traces the hidden connections shaping global power in real time. From Venezuela’s oil fields and China’s strategic ambitions to quiet U.S. leverage moves under President Trump, this episode maps the web where economics, energy, and military positioning converge.
Mary Fanning and Thomas McInerney examine how resource control—not ideology—drives the current geopolitical chessboard, and why recent developments in Venezuela signal a larger shift in global alignment.
In the second half, Gregory Senstrom reveals how modern military operations function behind the scenes—how actions are sequenced, why silence matters, and what is unfolding beyond public view without exposing operational detail.
Spiderweb exposes how no move stands alone—and why understanding the connections matters more than watching any single event.
