from Safety Wars · host James Poesl
Safety Wars – August 26, 2026 (Simple Sabotage Edition): How Saboteurs Hide in Plain Sight at WorkJim Poesl opens with FSN Radio News: Meta's $18B child-safety settlement with 29 states, Canada's retaliatory tariffs on the US, Prince Harry and Meghan's return to Britain, and new US sanctions on Iran. He then digs into RFK Jr.'s public clash with PA Governor Shapiro over measles deaths and vaccine misinformation, questioning whether 2026's rising measles case counts reflect real trends or reporting shifts. OSHA news follows: a Pennsylvania brick manufacturer faces ~$500K in fines for willfully exposing workers to silica dust, and new federal guidance addresses workplace wellness/tobacco-surcharge programs.The core segment covers the WWII-era "Simple Sabotage Field Manual," a declassified OSS guide on disrupting enemies through faulty decisions, endless meetings, deliberate inefficiency, and small acts of workplace disruption. Jim draws parallels to modern workplaces — bad hiring/vetting, bureaucratic obstruction, poor maintenance, and morale-killing tactics — asking listeners whether these sabotage patterns are quietly happening in their own organizations, sometimes unintentionally.www.safetywars.com. www.jamespoesl.comhttps://www.nfpa.org/Education-and-Research/Wildfire/Firewise-USAMusic:Pond5.com LicensesFalling, 25821615, Eric B.USA National Anthem (Star Spangled Banner Use), 155546928 Supernova MusicMatrix, 166797566, EncomiaMusic: Safety Warriors, The Music of Safety Wars Volume 1 (c) copyright 2026 James Poesl
