A Message From Donald Standeford

“I’m Donald Standeford, the face behind our news and intelligence platforms. It’s just me and a dedicated intelligence team—no faceless automation. We dig deep to deliver updates that matter. As an American living in a remote part of the world, I started this journey with little, fueled by your support and my faith in Jesus Christ. I’m a family man who works hard, takes quick breathers to stay sharp, and stays focused on quality—not fluff. For years, I’ve researched, monitored, and crafted high-value news and intel. By subscribing, you’re joining a community built on honest journalism, in-depth analysis, and the occasional personal story. Your support keeps this mission alive.”

What We Offer

The Standeford Journal delivers exclusive, in-depth intelligence reports and news—vetted, concise, and focused on global events with geopolitical weight. Our macro-scale approach uncovers big-picture impacts while pinpointing key details, drawing from global agencies, defense ministries, and obscure, vetted sources, enriched with historical context for deeper insights. We monitor the world in real time to ensure our reports are timely and relevant.

We’re also enhancing our capabilities with new tools, including a robust OSINT platform that helps our analysts process vast data, verify sources with precision, and flag biases or risks, ensuring our reports are sharper than ever.

Our Commitment

  • Independence: Free from government, political, or third-party influence.

  • Accuracy: Rigorously vetted—every update is checked for accuracy; spot an error? Let us know.

  • Quality: In-depth reports and news from trusted global sources, including government statements.
    Our reporting frequency scales with global events, ensuring we’re always watching, delivering reliable, high-impact information that outpaces news cycles and cuts through government filters.

Our Standards: No Bias, Just Facts

We avoid political bias, targeting events shaping the U.S. and beyond with geopolitical relevance, sometimes touching local politics with broader impact. As a born-again Christian, I vet every piece with integrity, aiming for excellence.

“No bias” means clear, accurate, fact-based reporting—free from political agendas. We treat politically charged claims with caution, even from mainstream media, and cross-reference diverse global sources to ensure a comprehensive, transparent perspective. We’re always improving our methods.

To ensure a comprehensive and accurate perspective, we draw from a diverse range of global sources, including government statements, defense ministries worldwide, and international media outlets. Our approach involves rigorous analysis and cross-referencing, and we apply strict discernment when evaluating intelligence or claims.

What We’re Building

Thank you for supporting The Standeford Journal as we work to sharpen how we uncover and analyze global intelligence. We’re excited to share the latest on two tools we’ve been developing to empower our team.

  • First, we’ve implemented a secure, self-hosted chat system for real-time collaboration. Hosted on our own server, it keeps our discussions private and free from third-party involvement, streamlining how we share insights across our team. Our admin team is already using it, and we’re refining it to bring all our analysts on board soon, ensuring more efficient collaboration for our in-depth reports.

  • Second, we’ve built a robust OSINT tool to help our analysts cut through the noise of global data. It processes vast amounts of information, verifies sources with precision, and flags biases or risks—whether we’re analyzing geopolitical shifts, cybersecurity threats, or other critical trends. We’ve also developed tailored reporting layouts to adapt to different types of intelligence, making our reports clearer and more actionable for you. We’re enhancing this tool daily to further sharpen our ability to deliver reliable, in-depth analysis in a complex world.

These tools are designed to amplify our human-driven approach, not replace it. Our team’s expertise remains at the core of everything we do, and this technology empowers our analysts to dig deeper and deliver the most comprehensive reports possible. With your continued support, we’ll keep pushing these tools—and the intelligence we provide—to the cutting edge.
