OSINT SPECIAL - Economic Stress, Radical Turns, Echoes of the Red Scare – Plus Harvard Med Explosion
Good morning, team—buckle up for this afternoon’s situation report, where we’re ditching the usual OSINT headline grind for a raw, reflective chat on how economic belt-tightening under political heat can shove everyday folks toward the radical edge. We’ll unpack the mechanics: from job scarcity sparking echo chambers to policy squeezes fueling fringe ideologies, drawing parallels to today’s tariff tussles and inflation spikes that mirror past panics. Then, a quick rewind to the 1920s Red Scare—when Bolshevik fever and labor unrest birthed Palmer Raids, deportations, and a national witch hunt that chilled free speech for a generation, reminding us America’s cycled through this hysteria before and clawed back. Wrapping with fresh intel on the Harvard Medical School explosion: deliberate device blast in the Goldenson Building early Saturday, suspects fleeing the scene, FBI manhunt underway amid zero injuries but max caution—could this tie into campus tensions or broader unrest? Sourced from history texts, psych studies, and breaking wires like NYT and Harvard Crimson, we’ll brainstorm takeaways for navigating the now. Hit play for unfiltered thoughts on resilience in rocky times—drop your takes below!
