Johnathan Days is the founder of Flix USA and CNIC News, with a professional background spanning military intelligence, national security analysis, photography, video production, and digital media.

Days served in the U.S. Army as an intelligence analyst and noncommissioned officer, completing three deployments to Iraq. After leaving the Army, he continued his intelligence career as a Department of Defense analyst in El Paso, Texas, and later as a senior analyst supporting Department of Homeland Security missions involving counterterrorism, transnational threats, and border security.

Outside government service, Days founded Flix USA, formerly Studio Rise, building a photography and video business serving individuals, businesses, and organizations. His work in digital media later expanded into GenesisFlix, where his sketch-comedy content has reached audiences around the world.

In 2025, Days founded CNIC News, an independent digital news publication covering U.S. politics, government accountability, foreign policy, national security, and major current events. As founder, editor, and principal analyst, he applies intelligence-analysis methods to publicly available information, producing sourced analysis, explainers, fact checks, and long-form assessments designed to separate established facts from assumptions and explain what happened, why it matters, and what may come next.
