TVCM Presents: What's Next Aileen?
UA’s Stephen Coughlin recently gave a new presentation at the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention in January 2018:
In order to get people out of the Matrix, they first have to realize they’re in the matrix.
A long time ago, we got these “Red Pill” briefs down, and we got them down right, and then we got them simplified so we could scale it to people so it was understandable.
We got how the Muslim Brotherhood works. We got al Qaida works. We got how the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation – formerly Organization of the Islamic Conference) works.
But we’re hitting a wall.
It becomes really important when we look at this issue to realize that:
We’re not being stopped because we fail for the message we put out — we are being stopped.There’s enormous effort to do that.
We use the word Red-Green Alliance and the only reason I step back from that is because I think sometimes we calibrate that at a level at which this issues is not really operating on.
Even the term fake news makes us laugh at what’s happened, like it’s a game. We phrase things when we attack them, even at the level at which we don’t understand that if we were looking at a foreign country we would call this agitprop: agitation and propaganda.
We have 91 percent of a nation’s media viciously going after a sitting President. We know its not just the media.
We keep talking about the criminality of events. I heard someone talk about the FISA warrants, when in fact I had to say, but if what you’re talking about in technical, bureaucratic language is true, why isn’t the real word here on Capitol Hill “sedition“?
What I would like to argue when we talk about red pill is really a plea that:
When you know what you’re doing is right on one level but you’re sinking, we need to step back and reframe.We need to understand that even the things we are doing that are right, we’re still doing not understanding that we’re still in the blue world and we have to take the red pill to understand that the way we’re talking about when we fight back even isn’t working.
We have to go through the “cultural drug withdraw” to see things.
The main thing I’m going to talk about today is political warfare and I’m going to do it in the context of the Muslim brother and other organizations because that’s what I was asked to speak about.
But I’m really working very hard on showing how the reason we’re being defeated isn’t because the Muslim brotherhood is so good, but because there is an actual—to which I mean, very real—alliance between groups like the Brotherhood and groups like far left. I think we need to stop using words like “liberal” if we are really looking at something which more accurately reflects cultural Marxism.
We need to start understanding that the language we’ve been boxed in does not give us the ability to go where we want to go. . . . .

![]() After the events of September 11, 2001, Stephen Coughlin was mobilized from his private sector career to the Intelligence Directorate at the Joint Chiefs of Staff to work in Targeting. Thus began his education in terrorism. In the years that followed, Coughlin earned recognition as the Pentagon’s leading expert on the Islamic-based doctrines motivating jihadi groups that confront America. He came into demand as a trainer and lecturer at leading commands and senior service staff institutions, including the National Defense University, the Army and Navy War Colleges, the Marine Corps-Quantico, the State Department, and the FBI. So effective were his presentations that some in the special operations community dubbed them “Red Pill” briefings, a reference to an iconic scene in The Matrix. It’s an apt metaphor: Once the facts and doctrines are properly explained and understood, there is no going back. This was more than our enemies – and, it seems, our leaders – could tolerate. Beginning in 2011, the Muslim Brotherhood convinced the White House to ban Coughlin and put an end to his briefings. The move was in keeping with shariah concepts of slander that seek to blindfold America to certain realities that render us defenseless against a threat made existential by the very ignorance it gets our leaders to enforce. In times like this – when the White House’s former counterterrorism strategist can declare it unconstitutional to allow national security analysts to look to Islam to understand jihad – there’s an urgent need to pull away the blindfold so we can see and confront the threat. Such is the goal of Catastrophic Failure. The book, drawn heavily from Coughlin’s “outlawed” briefings, is a comprehensive assessment of Islamic law and doctrine known to form the basis of hostile threat strategies directed against America and the West, the challenges they present, and the ideologically induced breakdown of fact-based decisionmaking that is nothing short of professional malpractice by our national security elites.

Stephen C. Coughlin, Esq., is an attorney, decorated intelligence officer and noted specialist on Islamic law, ideology and associated issues as they relate to terrorism and subversion.
Mr. Coughlin integrates experience in international law, intelligence, strategic communications and high-level project management in both the national defense and private sector to develop unique perspectives, assessments and training packages relating to the intersection of national security and Islamic law. He emphasizes evidentiary-based analysis. In September 2001, Coughlin was mobilized from his private sector career and assigned to the Directorate for Intelligence, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Targeting (JCS-J2T). Over time, his responsibilities evolved into intelligence support to information operations and strategic communications from a targeting perspective. Other assignments included the Pentagon’s National Military Command Center, the National Military Joint Intelligence Center, and the National Security Council’s Interagency Perception Management Threat Panel before demobilizing in 2004. In 2006, Coughlin was sought out “by name” and requested to support the Joint Staff J2 in counterterror threat analysis as a lead consultant. In 2007, Coughlin was awarded a Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence from the Joint Military Intelligence College / Defense Intelligence Agency on the threat analysis aspects of Islamic law and related doctrines. As a Major in the United States Army (res.), Coughlin was later assigned to USCENTCOM where he served in both an intelligence and strategic communications / information operations role. He has since retired from the Reserves. Until recently, Coughlin also supported Irregular Warfare Support activities. Recognized as the Pentagon’s leading expert on Islamic law as it relates to national security, Coughlin was in demand as a lecturer at leading senior service staff institutions, including the National Defense University, the Army and Navy War Colleges, Marine Corps HQ-Quantico, the Joint Forces Staff College, and others, as well as at the FBI (the Counterterror and the Behavioral Analysis Units for example) and associated agencies and private sector groups. Coughlin’s private sector career focused on international law, competitive intelligence and the development and provision of open source, classified and proprietary commercial data and information products and programs at leading information publishing houses. Stephen Coughlin is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy and a Lincoln Fellow at the Claremont Institute. His book Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad was released in 2015. |

Here’s a photograph of Jessie Tarbox Beals, America’s first female photojournalist, with her camera on a street a century ago. While most female photographers of her time shot photos from the peace and safety of photo studios, Beals ventured into the world of photojournalism and made a name for herself through her tenacity, self-promotion, and freelance news photos.
