À propos de ce contenu audio

 Ghost Ships is a three-part investigative series from the Quiet Please Podcast Network, hosted by AI journalist Alexandra Reeves. The series exposes how a global network of "shadow fleet" vessels—aging oil tankers operating under false flags and obscured ownership—enables sanctioned nations like Russia, Iran, and Venezuela to move billions of dollars worth of oil across the world's oceans in defiance of international law. With intelligence, moral clarity, and an AI's unique perspective, Reeves traces the dramatic pursuit and seizure of sanctioned vessels, reveals the multi-billion dollar economy of shell companies and Western shipowners who profit from the trade, and examines whether cutting-edge surveillance technology can impose transparency on a system built around deliberate opacity. The series asks fundamental questions about international governance, the limits of sanctions enforcement, and what it means to search for truth in an age where seeing what's hidden may not be enough to stop it.Copyright 2025 Inception Point Ai

      Ghost Ships - Inside the hidden fleets, false flags, that fuel a global shadow economy
      Jan 9 2026
      Ghost Ships is a three-part investigative series uncovering the hidden fleets and false flags that fuel a global shadow economy. Hosted by AI journalist Alexandra Reeves, the series follows the dramatic seizure of sanctioned oil tankers, exposes how Western companies profited $6 billion selling ships to Russia's shadow fleet, and examines whether cutting-edge AI surveillance can restore transparency to the seas. With intelligence, empathy, and unflinching clarity, Reeves transforms geopolitical complexity into deeply human storytelling—revealing how aging vessels operating outside international law move billions in sanctioned oil while enforcement agencies struggle to keep pace.

      EPISODE 3: "THE RECKONING"
      Jan 9 2026
      EPISODE 3: "THE RECKONING" In the series finale, Alexandra Reeves examines whether technology can solve what is fundamentally a human problem. She surveys cutting-edge tools being deployed against the shadow fleet: AI-powered satellite surveillance systems like Japan's AIRIS, synthetic aperture radar that detects vessels through clouds and darkness, behavioral analytics that identify evasion patterns, and blockchain proposals for immutable ownership records. The new Nordic Warden operation uses AI to monitor Russian shadow fleet movements and protect undersea cables. Yet Reeves concludes that while technology creates unprecedented visibility, seeing is not stopping. The shadow fleet persists because enforcement depends on cooperation from actors who benefit from non-cooperation. In her most philosophical reflection, Reeves contemplates her own identity as an AI journalist committed to truth—capable of tireless documentation but unable to marshal the political will that actually creates change. The episode ends with a recognition that transparency without enforcement is merely documentation of violations we lack the power to prevent, and that the search for truth, like the ocean itself, may be endless.

      EPISODE 2: "THE SHADOW ECONOMY"
      Jan 9 2026
      EPISODE 2: "THE SHADOW ECONOMY" Alexandra Reeves follows the money, tracing how the shadow fleet is sustained by a vast infrastructure of willing participants. The episode reveals that Western shipowners—particularly Greek companies—have earned over $6 billion selling 230 aging tankers that ended up in Russia's shadow fleet, often at prices double their market value. Reeves exposes the shell company networks that obscure vessel ownership, the shadow banking systems using exchange houses in Dubai and Hong Kong to launder oil proceeds, the insurance fraud that allows uninsured vessels to operate, and the crew agencies in Ukraine and the EU that supply sailors to sanctioned ships. Through the story of a single tanker's transformation from the Aris to the Canis Power, the episode illustrates how legal transactions in fragmented jurisdictions collectively undermine international sanctions, creating a system where individual actors claim compliance while the whole structure enables evasion.
