Axis of Resistance Propaganda Surge Seeks to Reframe Gaza Ceasefire as Strategic Victory Over Israel and the West
Axis of Resistance media are exploiting the Gaza ceasefire to project Israel’s defeat, glorify “resistance” movements, and frame U.S. diplomacy as deceit—revealing an increasingly synchronized propaganda strategy aimed at sustaining ideological warfare despite battlefield exhaustion.
Trump Escalates U.S.–China Trade War as Beijing Expands Rare Earth Controls, Raising Global Conflict Risks
Trump’s escalation of the U.S.–China trade war amid Beijing’s rare earth restrictions marks a strategic rupture that intertwines economic decoupling with growing military cooperation between China and Russia, heightening the risk of a future conflict over Taiwan.
Trump-Brokered Gaza Ceasefire Brings Fragile End to Two-Year War
Trump’s U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire marks a historic but fragile pause in a two-year war, offering hope for peace while exposing deep political, military, and regional fault lines that could easily reignite conflict.
Trump’s Antifa Terror Designation and Federal Crackdown Deepen Legal and Civil-Military Fault Lines
Trump’s executive order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization expands political counterterrorism into the domestic sphere—testing legal limits, igniting protests, and redefining how the U.S. government classifies internal dissent.
Quantico Summit: Policy Shifts, Oversight Changes, and Competing Readouts
Quantico produced real policy shifts on standards and oversight that supporters frame as readiness-focused and critics view as politicizing or rights-eroding—the ultimate impact will be determined by how services implement, lawyers interpret, and oversight bodies enforce the changes.
Iran’s Mass Executions Signal Spy Purges, Political Repression, and Nuclear Deception
Iran’s unprecedented wave of executions in 2025 reflects both an internal purge framed as counter-espionage and a broader strategy of suppressing dissent while eroding nuclear transparency, posing grave risks to human rights and regional stability.
What Is Strategic Intelligence?
Strategic intelligence is the analysis of information to support long-term understanding and decision-making. It focuses on identifying trends, patterns, and emerging developments that shape future risk environments rather than reacting to isolated events.
Unlike tactical or operational intelligence, strategic intelligence provides broader context, helping decision-makers assess how evolving conditions may influence security, policy, or organizational outcomes over time.
At Semper Incolumem, strategic intelligence is grounded in disciplined open-source analysis, with an emphasis on verification, relevance, and context.
Strategic Intelligence vs. Intel Reports
Semper Incolumem publishes two distinct types of intelligence content, each serving a different purpose.
Strategic Intelligence consists of long-form analysis focused on trends and emerging patterns. These pieces examine broader movements over time and are intended to support long-term understanding. Strategic Intelligence summaries are publicly available on Semper Incolumem.
Intel Reports, available to subscribers, focus on specific or time-sensitive developments such as verified claims, arrests, or calls for action. These reports surface critical information quickly and accurately as events unfold.
Example:
Strategic Intelligence
ISIS Activity in the Sahel Increasing as Northwest African Countries Turn Away from Western Assistance
Intel Report
ISIS Claims Responsibility for Attack That Killed 50 in the Sahel
Subscribers receive access to Intel Reports alongside broader platform capabilities.
Why Strategic Intelligence Matters
Strategic intelligence:
Anticipates Change: Helps leaders identify shifts in markets, politics, or security environments before they unfold.
Supports Better Decisions: Connects complex external signals with organizational objectives to guide long-term strategy.
Mitigates Risk: Improves readiness for threats and uncertainties by highlighting emerging vulnerabilities and trends.
Whether applied in national defense, corporate strategy, or risk analysis, strategic intelligence turns information into foresight.
