    Justin's guest for today is Julian Fisher, a former British intelligence operative espionage specialist and author of Think Like A Spy. Following a stint in government service, Julian headed up Africa operations for a private military company and then founded his own intelligence boutique specializing in Africa. In 2017, he was the lead trainer on the Channel Four reality series Spies, which put 16 ordinary members of the public through a series of challenges to find out if they had what it takes to be a spy. Julian has led an unusual life in his time. He's seen off camel wrestlers in Somalia, faced down gun toting soldiers in Congo, trained a newly formed intelligence service in South Sudan, and been invited to help plot a coup in West Africa, which he declined. Julian can show you how to take the hard lessons learned over centuries of international espionage and use those same strategies to accomplish your goals in almost any environment or context.

    Paul Rees' Raised on Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine and Payola - the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986 (De Capo, 2026) is a massively entertaining oral biography of the golden era of critically derided yet monumentally popular radio rock, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and more ruled the airwaves Paul Rees' Raised on Radio is, remarkably, the first biography of the (at the time) critically derided and yet massively popular AOR (album-oriented rock) bands whose heyday was 1976-1986, when groups like Journey, Boston, Foreigner, Toto, and REO Speedwagon sold many millions of albums, toured stadiums, and whose songs continue to stream in record numbers. Many of them still tour. And sure, they were punching bags for the elitist rock critics more interested in covering punk and new wave, terminally uncool, and never fashionably cutting edge, but their music was, and is, the soundtrack to so many people's lives. Who among music fans (of a certain age) didn't pump their fist to "Don't Stop Believin'" (long before The Sopranos), play air guitar to "More Than a Feeling," bellow along with Toto's "Africa," or have their heart broken to the strains of "Can't Fight This Feeling"? Even better: their tour stories and the tales of making the music are as entertaining and eye-opening as any of the antics from the annals of rock and roll history. Cocaine use was rampant, intra-band fighting was par for the course, and for better or worse, the groups' members lived life to excess. In so many ways, it was these artists' music (they are responsible for the power ballad) and lifestyles that led directly to the soon-to-follow hair metal scene. And in spite of what the critical establishment wrote, it turns out the music has aged . . . rather well! Raised on Radio is a stadium-sized, massively entertaining oral history in the bestselling tradition of Meet Me in the Bathroom, Nothin' But A Good Time, and Please Kill Me, capturing a time and a place that was as big and booming and as unabashed as the music that provided its soundtrack.

    Whether print or digital, text or image, artistic or scientific, rare or common, historic or contemporary, most of the content we encounter contains accidental mistakes—ranging from typos to factual errors to errors arising from prejudicial assumptions—and a significant proportion of it also contains deliberate misinformation resulting from various forms of forgery, fakery, and piracy. In Forgers, Fakers, and Publisher-Pirates (U Alberta Press, 2025), Linda Quirk introduces the work of notorious and lesser-known forgers, reveals the various ways in which experts and authors have faked their own identities—ranging from carefully-selected pseudonyms to falsified ethnicities to fraudulent credentials—and explores a number of shady publishing practices. We can all become better readers and better at protecting ourselves from scammers by improving our understanding of the nature of the content before us.

This widening footprint is generating unease in the United States, where policymakers and analysts are particularly worried about unsubstantiated claims that the PLA is seeking to build a base somewhere along Africa's Atlantic coast. Paul Nantulya, a research associate at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies in Washington, and Paa Kwesi Wolseley Prah, a post-doctoral fellow at Lingnan University in Hong Kong, join Eric & Géraud to explain why Chinese security outreach is getting so much traction across Africa.

All three are signatories to the UN's agenda, Project 2030.  Russia and China align with the exact  same digital goals as the West. We are not on the verge of a nuclear war, or “alien invasion”.  The real battle is here: Project 2030. We must awaken and rise to safeguard human privacy, freedom and consciousness.While being distracted by the borders of separation, they are skillfully casting a net around us. We are being systematically corralled into a cage.  Project 2030 is the most elevated global agenda of colonization wherein we are being gathered as assets of world governance. We must if we are to survive, reclaim our sovereignty. Our history of colonization is still the functioning agenda except it has advanced beyond the beyond of geopolitical control strategies: Earlier, the colonizers insatiable appetite centered on degrading and profiting ancient sovereign nations.  At the Berlin Conference 1884-1885, with Britain and France at the helm, 15 European countries set out to dissect the Continent of Africa into 55 nations. arbitrary borders were drawn disregarding cultural tropes. They established boundaries without African consent or regard for ethnic, linguistic, or social structures, separated tribes and combined hostile groups, leading to lasting ethnic strife and political violence. With France coveting 500 billions dollars each year in colonial taxes from Africa, the wealth stolen from plundering Africa would exceed more 50 trillion dollars to date.  As Colonization continued, Britain protected its imperialistic agenda by dividing India into two countries. Creating Pakistan was a decisive move to counteracting a potentially strong, unified India. Pakistan was also the ally it needed to protect western interests. The region of Pakistan is the bridge toward oil-rich regions in Iran and Iraq.  In implementing the "Radcliffe Line", they split provinces, districts, rivers, and homes leading to one of history's largest human migrations, with roughly 14 million people displaced and over a million killed in communal violence. By the time they left India they had plundered and stolen more than 42 trillion pounds from her.Now to Project 2030: we are witnessing Colonization uplevelled to a grander scale, a more insidious global mission..a methodology sharpened to control your psyche, your conscious human identity by rendering you a digital asset in the grand schema of things. The cast net that is hovering over our heads goes unnoticed because our attention is fastened to the prefabricated chaos, scandals  wars, and alien invasion threats. The truth is, we are being herded, harnessed as commodities of the deep state.

    We are calling February African History Month in America instead of Black History Month, because African Americans are not Black they are of African Heritage or Africans. We prefer African History instead of Black History because the term black is part of philosophy that drives a particular perspective about people of Africa. They say "nothing black is good; African Americans are Black; Therefore African Americans are Black and therefore not good" So to drive a different perspective and to inculcate the pride of African American we do not do injustice to the people of Africa who live in America and say African People in America.In today's Episode we reflect on this and our history that is largely bastardized and forgotten. We are re-sharing an episode we did in April 2022 where Renaldo Mckenzie interviewed the Shekhems at the Ausar Asset Society in Germantoen Philadelphia discussing Kamit and Kamitic Spirituality, and African spirituality that has marked the peoples of Africa that we have forgotten.The episode is powerful.

There are still questions they have for God they may never get answers to, but I hope you'll listen for the thread of God's nearness through it all.

    In 2024, there were more than 300 million migrants across the world—double the number there were in 1990. Many of those had been displaced by conflict or climate change; many were simply looking for jobs and a better life. But the national and multilateral systems designed to manage these flows have proved grossly inadequate, helping set off political convulsions not just in the United States and Europe but in countries around the world, including in Africa, Latin America, and South Asia. In democracies, migration has perhaps become today's most fraught and divisive political issue. To Amy Pope, the director general of the International Organization for Migration, these “unprecedented levels” of migration and the crackdowns that have come in reaction make abundantly clear that the current global immigration system is failing. It is, she wrote in Foreign Affairs last year, “incapable of contending with today's humanitarian needs, demographic trends, or labor-market demands.”  Pope argues that a challenge of this scale demands a complete system overhaul—a rebuilding of global migration policy that prioritizes order and dignity. Without such a restructuring, Pope warns, the risks of “more social unrest, more inequality,” and, ultimately, “more abuse and exploitation” of the world's most vulnerable people will only grow.

    What happens when all the world's money moves on chain? That's not a hypothetical for Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, it's the company's mission. In this episode, Marc explains how Polygon is evolving from its roots as an Ethereum layer two into the blockchain for global payments, detailing two recent acquisitions that form the foundation of what he calls the "open money stack" - a single API combining on-ramps, wallets, and cross-chain interoperability.With over $2.5 trillion in transaction volume already processed and partnerships with Revolut, Stripe, Nubank, and dozens of fintechs across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Marc makes the case that stablecoins are just the beginning. He shares why tokenized bank deposits will be the real game-changer, how banks are already positioning to profit from this shift, and why in 10 years he believes every dollar, whether paying a merchant down the street or sending a remittance across the globe, will move on a blockchain without anyone even thinking about it.In this podcast you will learn:How Marc first got interested in blockchain and crypto technology.Why he decided to make the move to Polygon Labs.Why Polygon decided to focus on payments.All the components you need to move money around the world on blockchain.The idea behind the open money stack.How Polygon is working with the likes of Revolut and Stripe.How they differentiate themselves from the other payments blockchains.What they are doing in AML and sanctions policy.The scale that Polygon is at today when it comes to transaction volume.What will the financial system look like when more money stays on chain.The two things banks ask in their initial conversations with Polygon.How money will transform in the next 10 years and why most people will not notice.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

    This week we take a look at a new report from the Center for Global Development, which found that aid cuts have largely failed to spark reform in sub-Saharan Africa. The caveat, though, is that the authors analyzed national budget data from June 2025 — shortly after the U.S. announced its drastic cuts, meaning the analysis doesn't reflect efforts that have been taken since then. But still, it challenges the viability of current financing models and highlights growing risks to essential social spending in recipient countries. On the topic of sub-Saharan Africa, we examine the situation in Malawi, which is struggling to sustain critical health, education, and development programs after abrupt cuts to U.S. foreign aid exposed the country's heavy reliance on donor funding. Foreign aid cuts by the United States and the United Kingdom have also impacted the fight against female genital mutilation, hindering progress toward its elimination. To dig into these stories, and others, Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with reporters Sara Jerving and Ayenat Mersie to discuss the top global development stories of the week.

    Iran faces a final ultimatum as global alliances shift dramatically in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia's surprising pivot, Turkey's expansion into Africa, Gaza ceasefire violations, and high-level U.S.–Israel meetings are reshaping the region in real time.In this episode of MidEast & Beyond, Amir Tsarfati & Pastor Barry Stagner connect these developments with World Events in Bible Prophecy, including Ezekiel 38, Zechariah 12, and Revelation 13. From Iran's nuclear negotiations and Hamas' refusal to disarm, to the rise of digital currency laws that echo the coming global control system, the prophetic picture is becoming clearer than ever.As corruption is exposed worldwide and financial systems move toward full digital tracking, the stage is set exactly as the Bible has foretold.Connect with us on social:Telegram: @beholdisraelchannel Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amir.tsarfati/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beholdisrael/ X: https://x.com/beholdisrael YouTube: https://youtube.com/@beholdisrael
