Clinton Watt - There’s No Going Back! The Shape of the World to Come

Eric Gibson/ New America

There have been so many rapid, world changes in the past 2-3 years that challenge our current times and point to a future that will look remarkably different than the last fifty years. How will we prepare for that future which includes tremendous technological forces that will shape the way the next the next generation moves forward? Are we prepared for extremist movements, state sponsored terrorism, global networking and the white nationalist movement? How will that play in our upcoming presidential election?
Clint is a consultant and researcher modeling and forecasting threat actor behavior and developing countermeasures for defeating state and non-state actors. He develops training and research programs for military, intelligence and law-enforcement organizations at state and federal levels. His research primarily focuses on terrorism forecasting and anticipating extremist "hotspots". He recently used that modeling skill to outline Russian influence via social media and the Kremlin's return to "Active Measures".

Clint is a graduate of our United States Military Academy at West Point and earned his Master's Degree at Middlebury's Institute of International Studies. He is the author of "Messing With the Enemy", which will be available for sale at the lectures.
