Homeland Security TV: Be Very Afraid

By Ken Silverstein

This is new to me: the Homeland Security Television Channel, "the world's first online, on-demand television network dedicated to homeland security and global development." The channel is also "dedicated to facilitating rapid awareness of new technologies and services, and assisting in the transfer of those technology solutions to the government and critical infrastructure marketplace."

Which explains why the editorial board includes Tom Ridge, the former head of the Department of Homeland Security and CEO of Ridge Global of (one of the channel's sponsors); Rear Admiral David Stone, the former assistant secretary of Homeland Security for the Transportation Security Administration and CEO of the Alacrity Homeland Group; and the savior of New Orleans, former FEMA chief Michael Brown. According to the channel's investment guide, the channel's mission is "Helping New & Emerging Companies Achieve Market Leadership and Unrivaled Brand Awareness."

Make sure to check out the channel's new series: "The Threat Matrix."
