RR The Wire 1700Z December 27, 2023PRECEDENCE: ROUTINE RRDTG: 170027Z DEC 23ICOD: 160027Z DEC 23CONTROLS: Public ReleaseQQQQBLUF: MAERSK ALLEGEDLY RESUMES SHIPPING IN RED SEA. U.S. BORDER CRISIS DEEPENS. -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Central America: Drought conditions in Panama create worst delays seen yet for ships transiting the Panama Canal. AC: As a reminder, the drought in Panama has been ongoing for months, causing delays for all ships transiting the choke point. Ironically, the region saw better-than-expected rainfall during November, which has alleviated the problems significantly. However, over the past few days the lake that feeds fresh water to the locks systems essential for the transit of ships has been too low, causing more delays. In the context of global shipping routes feeling strain, this is important to note as the cost increases incurred by shipping companies will be passed on to the consumer.Red Sea/HOA: US CENTCOM announced that the USS LABOON (DDG 58) and aircraft from the USS EISENHOWER CSG shot down twelve drones, three ASCMs, and two LACMs yesterday. These engagements come as Maersk announces the resumption of shipping through the Red Sea.AC: It is unclear as to if Maersk will actually be resuming shipping through the region. Ships have been scheduled to make the transit over the coming weeks, but doctrinally speaking, the adversary always gets a vote in future plans. Yemen has demonstrated their ability to target ships in the Bab el Mandeb Strait, even with substantial U.S. Navy protection. If commercial ships begin to resume normal operations in the Red Sea, we will see an increase in targeting as Yemen has learned valuable Anti-Shipping combat experience over the past few weeks.Gaza/Israel: The war continues as before. Israeli operations have expanded in Gaza as the fighting becomes even more brutal on both sides. Attacks from Hezbollah have intensified in the north as rocket attacks become more numerous and frequent. Hezbollah has also demonstrated the ability to regularly target locations deep inside Israel. AC: Though details are sketchy at best, some sources indicate that Hezbollah has targeted Iron Dome missile defense sites in Capri with laser-guided munitions. If these reports are true, the munitions in question are probably Basir 155mm artillery shells of likely Iranian origin (which itself is a copy of the old Soviet 2K25 Krasnopol system). Though unconfirmed reporting is not definitive by any means, if this is true this would be both a substantial escalation of the conflict in the north, and also likely the first operational test (by Hezbollah) of these advanced weapons systems.-Homefront-USA: Border crisis deepens following another surge of illegal immigrants during the Christmas holiday weekend. Some media outlets are reporting (via confidential sources) that around 30,000 illegals were detained over the weekend. AC: Though independent verification is not possible yet, these numbers are in line with the severity of the latest illegal immigrant surge. As a reminder, almost all of these “detentions” and “apprehensions” are temporary and do not result in immediate deportation, but rather transportation deeper into America's interior.Analyst Comments: The conflict in the Red Sea is the epitome of an age-old idea within the field of insurgency. The Houthis only have to be lucky once, the U.S. Navy has to be lucky every single time. If the U.S. Navy (and other coalition vessels) cannot provide reliable protection for commercial vessels, the global maritime community will eventually respond. Even the highly-manipulated financial markets (which have not responded appropriately to this crisis) cannot remain grounded in fantasy forever. In due time, missile shortages are going to catch up with the U.S. Navy…shortages that are not present in Yemen.

It's crucial to take care of our insulin, mental health, and physical well-being.Losing my grandmother to Type 1 diabetes at 29 and witnessing my father's battle with Type 2 diabetes inspired me to spread awareness and bring hope to those living with diabetes. With my A1C at 5.7, I'm proof that meticulous care can help us live vibrant lives despite the condition.I shared heartfelt personal stories and emphasized that with proper management and lifestyle choices, we can have a lifespan comparable to those without diabetes.

On August 30th 2021, the US and its coalition partners ended their nearly twenty-year occupation of Afghanistan. Two weeks before they left, the Taliban swept across the country taking major urban centers, including Kabul. As embassies were abandoned, and as Afghans government officials fled the country, those Afghan citizens who had worked with the occupying forces faced the very real prospect of execution by the Taliban as collaborators. Yet, just Afghan interpreters had been abandoned in years past, many were left behind when the last US flight left the country. Now they, and the millions of Afghans who never had any hope of being evacuated to begin with, were left to scramble for their survival. Basir Bita last appeared on Latitude Adjustment Podcast just two weeks before the Taliban takeover of Kabul, and a month before US and international forces left the country. Though he and his family had been issued a visa for his work with the Canadian government, they were left behind. This episode is the first of a two-part series in which Basir recounts what happened next. This is the first of a two-part episode.  Also, be sure to listen to our last episode with Basir, before the fall of Kabul.Our interview with Afghan photographer and interpreter Abdul Saboor, who escaped over land to France.

When Ibraheem Basir launched A Dozen Cousins in 2018, retail buyers questioned the marketability of the brand's first products, a line of premium-positioned cooked beans. Four years later, those buyers are asking a different question: “How do we keep up with consumer demand?” A former marketing executive with General Mills, Basir founded A Dozen Cousins to increase accessibility of better-for-you food within Black and Latino communities via healthy ingredients, authentic seasonings and convenient preparation. Available in varieties such as Mexican Cowboy Pinto Beans and Trini Chickpea Curry, the beans are packaged in microwavable pouches that can be heated in 60 seconds. As A Dozen Cousins expanded distribution, the brand found traction with a broad variety of consumers seeking a quick, flavorful meal or side dish. The company has since added two complementary product lines – bone-broth cooked rice and seasoning sauces for rice and meat dishes – and widened its presence in stores across retail channels, including Whole Foods, Walmart, Trader Joes, Kroger and REI. In an interview featured in this episode, Basir spoke about how the brand's initial focus has evolved, working with co-manufacturing partners to ensure quality standards, why sampling was critical to its development and why keeping a foot in the familiar is a key tenet of its innovation strategy. He also explained why A Dozen Cousins is relatively quiet about raising capital and shared his take on improved opportunities and continuing challenges for BIPOC food entrepreneurs. Show notes: 0:42: Interview: Ibraheem Basir, Founder & CEO, A Dozen Cousins – Basir spoke with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif at NOSH Live Summer 2022 where they discussed their shared experience growing up in large families, alternate names for A Dozen Cousins and how the brand addresses “two different levels” of consumer needs. Basir also spoke about how he prepared for a national launch at Whole Foods while the brand was still in its infancy, the impact of his experience as an employee at a large food conglomerate, what social media taught the company about the unexpected ways consumers used the beans and what moved the needle for retail buyers that were initially skeptical about the brand. Later, he explained why the launch of A Dozen Cousins' rice was about creating something “additive” to the category, why he wants the brand to be “in the middle of the spectrum” when it comes to innovation, the reason the company isn't vocal about funding and why he points to the lack of “insider knowledge” as a hurdle for BIPOC founders.

Maryam Basir talks her new show "Lace", being an entrepreneur, and that time someone in the room said "red light"!About Maryam:Born in Detroit and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Maryam Basir has always had dreams of massive success. After graduating from University of Michigan, Maryam moved to New York City to pursue her passions. It wasn't long after her relocation to New York City when she caught the acting bug, was signed by an agency and immediately began acting and modeling. Maryam fell in love with her craft and has been a working actor and model ever since. This November, Maryam will star in her first television leading role as the title character in “LACE” on AMC's streaming platform ALLBLK. Maryam stars as Lacey McCullough, a prolific Los Angeles attorney who is willing to do anything for her clients and blurs the lines between right and wrong. A complicated character, it is often unknown if Lacey is a “good guy” or a “bad guy” as she fights to get the best possible outcome for her clients. Maryam booked the role of Lacey with no audition. Producers from the show saw her in past roles and decided Maryam would be perfect for the role of Lacey. She accepted the role and since then has been having a surreal experience, a dream come true.Maryam's past credits include “The Chi,” “Chicago PD,” “Empire,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” and “Holiday Heartbreak,” in which she was nominated for Best Actress in an Independent Film for Hollywood and African Prestigious Awards. Next, she stars in “To Live and Die and Live” premiering early next year, opposite Omari Hardwick.In addition to her career as an actor, Maryam owns a brow and lash studio in Harlem called HiBROW where she does microblading, eyelash extensions and SMP between bookings. In Michigan, Maryam founded a 501c3 nonprofit organization called NOiR Diamonds, empowering young girls ages 8-14. The organization provides them with tools to succeed in life. Lessons range from public speaking to learning etiquette and preparing for the future. Approximately 70 young girls have graduated from this program. Maryam resides in New York City and is a proud Muslim woman.Maryam's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maryambasir_Follow the show on social media!                 Instagram: https://instagram.com/thanksforcominginpodcast/                 Twitter: https://twitter.com/tfci_podcast                  Facebook: http://facebook.com/thanksforcominginpodcast/                   Theme Music by Andrew Skrabutenas

When it comes to trying to understand Afghanistan and US foreign policy options, we are presented with an ahistorical false dichotomy between supporting or not supporting the Taliban government. Our show details how our foreign policy is what is responsible for the very dilemma we claim to be morally concerned about. Learn how we largely created the Taliban as well as the Islamic fundamentalist Mujahadeen which generated Osama Bin Laden, ultimately 9-11 and absolute misery for 40 million Afghanis as byproducts of four decades plus of US foreign policy. When history and its lessons are wiped off the map the map becomes unable to help us understand the truth of Afghanistan. Our guest Basir Bita barely escaped Kabul just a month following the US withdrawal. He lived in Afghanistan the last 18 years and is in daily communication with family and friends. Basir worked for development projects, civil society organizations, and international institutions including USAID, British Development Agency, and the Australian Development Agency and describes the desperate situation that we created in Afghanistan from firsthand knowledge. Following 20 years of war and occupation and our recent August withdrawal the US froze nearly $10B in assets belonging to the Afghan Central Bank. The IMF and World Bank, where the US exerts great influence, tightened the screws as well as the IMF froze distribution of $450m while the World Bank held back hundreds of millions from the Afghan Reconstruction Trust Fund. Meanwhile, Afghan teachers have gone without pay since June and hospitals are closing. The cost of War to our veterans and Afghanis and the cost to US taxpayers is reviewed as are the Afghan Papers that reveal that we have always known this war is unwinnable and once again have been systematically lied to by our government and the mainstream media. Yet the war has been profitable to some and therefore has persisted. Now, we as US taxpayers should be held accountable for fixing what our foreign policy has broken, but instead current US foreign policy make life even more unlivable for the majority of Afghans. Listen in and learn real US foreign policy outcomes and Afghan history, as Basir also describes the current political environment and a path forward to help alleviate rather than exacerbate one of the greatest humanitarian disasters in the world today. Don't be Late! If you care….

Scott interviews activist Basir Bita about the economic calamity that's hit Afghanistan since the U.S. withdrawal this past summer. With the U.S. and IMF freezing Afghan government funds as well as widespread market corrections after the fall of the previous regime, Afghanistan has been thrown into turmoil. Food prices have tripled since the summer and many Afghans face issues with food security. Bita argues that the Biden Administration and others should get over their hesitation to work with the new government of Afghanistan. And that a refusal to do so reveals how little they truly care for the Afghan people, despite their rhetoric.  Basir Bita is a civil society activist now based out of Canada. He is an advisor for Afghan Peace Volunteers, a youth group in Kabul, Afghanistan that advocates for nonviolent conflict resolution.

Maryam Basir recently joined host Elias in the cave. Maryam stars as the title character in the new ALLBLK legal drama, “Lace.” The show follows Maryam as Lacey McCullough, a prolific Los Angeles lawyer who constantly blurs the lines between good and bad as she fights to get the best possible outcome for her clients. A multi-dimensional character, Lacey is very calculated and smart and is always a move ahead of everyone else. Maryam booked the role of Lacey with no audition. Producers of the show had seen Maryam in recent roles such and decided Maryam would be perfect for the role of Lacey.

This week the boys talk about fighting games and if people enjoy being challenged. Hi everyone, It's me John, co-host of the investigative "comedy" podcast Boys on the Case. I have recently started a campaign to get every member of the show with a deez nuts joke, and I have so far been rather successful. If you are a listener of the show, I'm calling my shot now. I will ensnare all the other members. Mark my words. If you are part of the cast, this is a warning. You can lie to yourself and think, "John won't get me with a deez nuts joke, I'm too cleaver." I allow you to feel comfort in this false sense of security. Grasping foolishly to delusions of safety only sweeten the moment when I make the kill. I got Basir, and then Deyson. Its only a matter of time before I get you as well. Got a question that needs answers?

In episode nine, Accountfully's Managing Partner, Brad Ebenhoeh sits down with A Dozen Cousins' CO-Founder and CEO, Ibraheem Basir.  Ibraheem grew up in Brooklyn in a big family (hence the name) and wanted to combine two important elements into one product; take the joy of the eclectic multicultural flavors he experienced eating with his family, and turn it into a convenient, healthy food option.  He is no stranger to the complex food business, and has worked for large CPG companies.  These opportunities allowed him to hone his talent for understanding the formal business side, especially recognizing untapped business opportunities. Ready-to-eat beans became the right option because of their ability to combine the elements of "taste, health, and culture".  It was also an untapped market in the food world.  Basir takes us on the journey of his growing empire and outlines the strategic, yet methodical thought processes that have allowed him to realize his business goals. You can also read more inside insight on our client spotlight, featuring A Dozen Cousins on the Accountfully blog:  http://blog.accountfully.com/tag/meet-our-clientsThe A Dozen Cousins Website:  https://www.adozencousins.comAccountfully's Client Spotlight on A Dozen Cousins:  https://blog.accountfully.com/client-spotlight-a-dozen-cousinsMORE RESOURCESMore CPG Resources:  http://bit.ly/Accountfully_ResourcesJoin The Accountfully Alliance Group:Become part of the in-depth conversation with fellow CPG business owners     Facebook:  http://bit.ly/Accountfully_Alliance_FB     LinkedIn:  http://bit.ly/Accountfully_Alliance_LIDownload The Inventory Handbook:  http://bit.ly/TheInventoryHandbookUse the power of your inventory to grow your business

Back in January, when President Donald J. Trump nominated top campaign contributor Betsy DeVos as his Education Secretary, the opposition was swift and mobilized. Charging that DeVos was unfit to hold the office since she had no experience working in public education and was a powerful advocate for charter schools, protestors blocked her from entering Jefferson Middle School Academy during her fourth day on the job. Yet in the four months since then, resistance efforts against Trump's secretary of education have often been overshadowed by other protest movements. And as the administration's actions to undo two signature programs of former first lady Michelle Obama promoting healthier school lunches proves, public education advocates' fears don't begin and end with Betsy Devos. On this week's TrumpWatch, host Jesse Lent discusses the state of the public school system under President Trump with Basir Mchawi, a Queens College professor and the host of WBAI's Education At The Crossroads.
