Our Commitment
Independence: Free from government, political, or third-party influence.
Accuracy: Rigorously vetted—spot an error? Let us know.
Quality: Real-time alerts from trusted global sources, including government statements.
Our alert frequency scales with global events, ensuring we’re always watching. Every update is meticulously checked for accuracy, focusing on reliable, high-impact information.
Our Standards: No Bias, Just Facts
We skip political bias, zeroing in on events shaping the U.S. and beyond with geopolitical relevance. As a born-again Christian, I vet every alert with integrity, aiming for excellence.
“No bias” means clear, accurate, fact-based reporting—free from political agendas. We treat politically charged claims with caution, even from mainstream media, and cross-reference diverse global sources (government statements, defense ministries, international outlets) to ensure a comprehensive, transparent perspective.
To ensure a comprehensive and accurate perspective, we draw from a diverse range of global sources, including government statements, defense ministries worldwide, and international media outlets. Our approach involves rigorous analysis and cross-referencing, and we apply strict discernment when evaluating intelligence or claims.

What We’re Building for You
Thank you for supporting Defcon Alerts as we work to sharpen how we uncover and analyze global intelligence. We’re excited to share the latest on two tools we’ve been developing to empower our team.
First, we’ve implemented a secure, self-hosted chat system for real-time collaboration. Hosted on our own server, it keeps our discussions private and free from third-party involvement, streamlining how we share insights across our team. Our admin team is already using it, and we’re refining it to bring all our analysts onboard soon, ensuring faster, more effective alert delivery.
Second, we’ve built a robust OSINT tool to help our analysts cut through the noise of global data. It processes vast amounts of information, verifies sources with precision, and flags biases or risks—whether we’re tracking breaking alerts, geopolitical shifts, cybersecurity threats, or other critical trends. We’ve also developed tailored reporting layouts to adapt to different types of alerts, making our insights clearer and more actionable for you. We’re enhancing this tool daily to further sharpen our ability to deliver timely, reliable intelligence in a complex world.
These tools are designed to amplify our human-driven approach, not replace it. Our team’s expertise remains at the core of everything we do, and this technology empowers our analysts to spot what matters most and deliver the sharpest alerts possible. For you, that means real-time, unbiased alerts you can trust, packed with insights on the events shaping our world.
With your continued support, we’ll keep pushing these tools—and the intelligence we provide—to the cutting edge. Consider joining as a paid subscriber to help us keep building and refining our process—your subscription directly supports our mission and gives you deeper access to the actionable insights we uncover.
