Scott Rickard is an American former intelligence linguist and veteran of the communications technology and national security industries.

He is an outspoken critic of US foreign policy and blanket public surveillance, and has made a number of appearances on RT, Sputnik and PressTV.

Own words

For over three decades, Scott Rickard has worked with national security and international service providers, software developers, product manufacturers, and government, aerospace and media organisations in the Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Communications Security (COMSEC), Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), and communications and information technology arenas.

Early in his career, he worked closely with a number of national and international governments and intelligence agencies to analyse and prioritise intelligence collection efforts, and validate messaging of key international developments. With the rapid development of OSINT over the past two decades, he has continued to use emerging technologies, media platforms and other informed resources to monitor, gather, corroborate, assemble and communicate fact-based research and analysis of a wide variety of national and international business, technology, geopolitical, military and financial affairs.

His international intelligence and business diversity foster an independent and non-partisan perspective that encourage both pragmatic and principled analysis of economic, political, and international defence and security policies with a goal to inform and prepare others to help shape and elevate key business solutions and national and international security policies and initiatives.

A Quote by Scott Rickard

Iran	“The West’s exploitation of Iran began long before the the Shah and bombs fell. In 1872, the British-engineered Reuter Concession handed vast swaths of Iran’s economic sovereignty—from railroads to mining and forests—to a single foreign investor, an act so sweeping that even Lord Curzon called it 'the most complete surrender of the entire industrial resources of a kingdom into foreign hands' ever seen. This laid the groundwork for over 80 years of foreign economic domination. In 1953, the CIA and MI6 deepened that legacy of subjugation by orchestrating Operation Ajax—the coup that toppled Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh for daring to nationalise Iran’s oil. Then, between 1980 and 1988, the United States armed Saddam Hussein’s Iraq as it launched waves of rockets and chemical weapons on Iran—with full Western backing—killing over 250,000 Iranians. Each of these chapters reflects a broader pattern of imperialist aggression designed to punish Iranian sovereignty and protect Western interests at any human cost.”	22 June 2025	Facebook
