4. Headline: Challenging Fascism with Sinclair Lewis Guest Author: James Shapiro When Hollywoodrefused to film Sinclair Lewis's anti-fascist novel *It Can't Happen Here* due to censorship and foreign market fears, the Federal Theater stepped in. Hallie Flanagan secured the rights and staged the production simultaneously in twenty cities, proving that live theater could match the national reach of movies. The play served as a stark warning against the rise of domestic and foreign dictatorships. Despite having to navigate local political sensitivities and avoid accusations of being a "commercial theater" competitor, the production became a massive cultural success.

While they cover for Epstein Class pedophiles, the Trump DOJ is fulfilling the Project Esther agenda, cracking down on the 1st Amendment rights of American citizens in the name of Talmudic Zionism - and the rest of the US government, at all levels, is doing the very same thing...

A top advisor to Donald Trump, billionaire venture capitalist David Sacks, warned that, if the war on Iran continues, "Israel could just be destroyed", or it could even use a nuclear weapon.

Condemnation doesn't start with what we say.It starts with how we see people.In this episode, John Ortberg explores the root of condemnation and a critical distinction that can change the way we live: observation vs. evaluation.Drawing from insights in Nonviolent Communication, John shows how easily our minds move from simply noticing behavior to assigning judgment, criticism, or contempt. And once that shift happens, condemnation begins to grow.Jesus addressed this problem directly in the Sermon on the Mount when he said:“First take the plank out of your own eye.”The real issue isn't just our words — it's our perception.When we learn to see people the way Jesus sees them — as bearers of God's image — our responses change. Curiosity replaces contempt. Love replaces judgment.Today's practice is simple but powerful:As you move through your day, pause and ask:What would Jesus see when he looks at this person?Because when we change how we see,we change how we love.And in Christ, there is now… therefore… no condemnation.

The Iran War has exposed a growing divide between battlefield realities and the way the story is reported. Headlines suggest chaos and failure, but the facts on the ground tell a very different story. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with New York Post columnist and bestselling author Miranda Devine to examine how media narratives shape public perception. From the downplayed ISIS terror plot in New York City to growing concerns about sleeper cells, border security, and distorted coverage of the Iran conflict, this conversation explores the cost of a press corps that too often seems more interested in narrative than truth. What You'll Learn Why the attempted ISIS terror plot in New York City raised deeper concerns about domestic security How media narratives distort public understanding of terrorism and the Iran conflict What the Iran War reveals about the gap between headlines and battlefield realities Why border policy failures raise new risks tied to sleeper cells and national security How media bias and narrative framing influence public opinion and political outcomes

Right On Radio goes live on Friday the 13th (March 13, 2026) with the host opening in a candid, sometimes irreverent mood — mixing jokes, cultural commentary and a deep dive into faith, free speech, and current events. The show begins with a special edition of the game segment "Word on Word," where three scripture passages are offered for listeners to weigh: Genesis 1:1, Romans 8:28, and the controversial Leviticus 20:13. The host explains why the third verse was read on air and frames the choice against the backdrop of new Canadian legislation (Bill C-9) and concerns about censorship. The episode includes a frank readout of private text exchanges with recurring guest Boyd Anderson, touching on crypto, MH370 theories, and political numerology. The host shares his reaction to Boyd's messages and reflects on trust, restoration, and authenticity when guests engage a Christian audience. Major platform news is discussed at length: Podbean's announcement to discontinue live streaming and recent regional restrictions on ad revenue for Canadian-origin podcasts. The host explains how Podbean's shift toward AI-generated content and regional changes will impact his production, revenue, and ability to livestream, and explores alternatives and the broader implications for censorship and creator independence. Political and media criticism features prominently. Clips and commentary include reactions to Tucker Carlson and Redacted, a notable quote from Brett Weinstein about an apparent “endgame” dynamic, and a critical look at Candace Owens' Bride of Charlie series — particularly the scrutiny around Erica (Frantz) Kirk's sudden rise and recent appointment to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. The show also examines high‑profile security and justice claims: a circulated report about a $500 million Guantánamo expansion, frequent flights to Gitmo, and the suggestion that military tribunals may be underway for national‑security cases. Related theories are discussed alongside a claim about a Trump speech green screen signal and a speculative thread invoking Section 4 of the 14th Amendment as a constitutional mechanism to reset parts of U.S. debt — all framed as material the host finds intriguing but that listeners should evaluate critically. Rounding out the episode are cultural conspiracy takes — from celebrity imagery and ‘memory erasure' theories to anecdotal posts about blonde‑hair symbolism — and a preview of upcoming programming: a Sunday Bible study and Saturday night prayer on Telegram. The host closes by inviting listeners to engage, pray, and “love your God, love your family, love your neighbor,” while promising further coverage of the topics above on future shows.

Trump Book Ban Controversy: Native American History Removed from National Parks Yesterday Trump Book Ban Controversy: Native American History Removed from National Parks Donald Trump is facing growing backlash after reports that books about Native American history have been flagged for removal from visitor centers at Redwood National and State Parks. Critics say the move raises serious questions about censorship, historical revisionism, and whether political power is being used to reshape how Americans understand their own past. On today's episode of The Karel Show, Karel examines the controversy surrounding the reported book bans and what it could mean for the future of historical education in the United States. According to reports, several books focusing on Native American history and culture have been flagged inside park visitor centers. The books include titles such as “We Are the Land” by Damon B. Atkins and William J. Bauer, “California Through Native Eyes” by William J. Bauer Jr., “Adopted by Indians” by Thomas Jefferson Mayfield, and “We Are Dancing for You” by Cutcha Risling Baldy. Supporters of the books say they help visitors understand the deep and complex history of Indigenous tribes in California. Critics of the reported removals argue that removing these works risks erasing uncomfortable truths about how Native Americans were treated throughout U.S. history. But that's not the only controversy dominating the headlines. Trump has also drawn criticism after comments about housing and development in the Pacific Palisades, raising concerns about whether low-income housing could be excluded from future rebuilding efforts. Meanwhile, global tensions continue to rise as war escalates overseas and Americans increasingly question the direction of U.S. leadership. So the larger question becomes: Can political power rewrite history—and who decides what future generations are allowed to learn? On today's episode, Karel dives into the politics of censorship, the battle over historical truth, and why these debates are becoming central to the American culture war. ⸻ The Karel Show is independent political commentary from broadcaster Charles Karel Bouley II, delivering bold analysis on politics, culture, and global events.

Shocking revelations about decades-long secret surveillance operations targeting political figures have come to light. From Arctic Frost to off-the-books case files spanning 25 years, the FBI allegedly maintained massive data on Americans—without warrants or criminal investigations. Kash Patel is leading a task force to uncover the truth and hold agents accountable. Today's episode breaks down the scope, implications, and potential fallout for the FBI and American political life. Episode Summary A secretive FBI filing system, active since 1999, allegedly amassed files on Republicans, political influencers, and religious leaders—spanning multiple administrations. Hundreds of off-the-books cases, including Arctic Frost and Trump-Russia probes, were reportedly surveilled without warrants. Experts warn this represents the “spine of the secret police,” a mechanism that could have been used to manipulate political outcomes and suppress dissent. Kash Patel has now taken action, reportedly firing ten FBI agents linked to the surveillance of him and Suzy Wiles. The larger task is to investigate those maintaining the system and identify accountability gaps within the agency. Analysts warn that if left unchecked, such systems could pave the way for extreme censorship, show trials, and political persecution—essentially undermining constitutional checks and balances. This episode also revisits previously uncovered intelligence of 1,200 additional files on private citizens, further highlighting the potential targeting of conservatives and prominent figures such as Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for structural reforms or even a complete reset of the FBI, questioning whether states could better manage domestic law enforcement functions. Key Takeaways FBI secret filing system active since 1999, spanning 25 years and multiple administrations. Hundreds of off-the-books cases, including Arctic Frost, allegedly surveilled political figures without warrants. Kash Patel leads a task force to investigate and hold agents accountable; ten have already been fired. Concerns raised about potential totalitarian surveillance, censorship, and political persecution. Additional 1,200 files on Americans, including conservatives and influencers, recently uncovered. Debate over whether the FBI should be reformed or replaced by state-level law enforcement.

Days after a three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant threatened that “heads must roll” for the “reckless, irresponsible, motivated, contemptuous conduct and manner” in which the National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT), an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Education, portrayed the judiciary as a venal institution in a Class 8 Social Science textbook, our guest, former Supreme Court judge, Justice Abhay S. Oka, takes a studied view of the controversy. The podcast discusses if the government, through the NCERT, used the textbook as an anti-judiciary propaganda tool to influence young minds in their formative years. The Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance of the textbook's contents. It imposed a “complete ban” and ordered the withdrawal of the textbook in an order on February 26. It said the textbook's contents revealed “calculated” attempt to instill a sense of bias against the judiciary in the “impressionable minds” of young school children, and through them, to the society at large and even the future generations. The court has no intention to let go and has scheduled the suo motu case for further hearing on March 11, 2026. The episode also debates if the ban on the book amounted to judicial censorship. Under Article 19(2) of the Constitution, free speech can be restricted only through a law.  Finally, the discussion delves into the court's decision to initiate contempt action and going on a limb to make school principals “personally responsible” to “seize and seal” the copies of the textbook.

How technocracy replaced burning books with programmable compliance — and why your ability to think, speak, and dissent is now the primary target. In this raw, unfiltered Technocracy Roundtable, I'm joined by Patrick Wood, Aaron Day, and Craig Wenclewicz to expose how the war on free speech has evolved from crude deplatforming and visible strikes into something far more dangerous: an invisible, AI-driven operating system designed to control what you think, say, and believe. We map the full control stack in real time — from algorithmic throttling and shadow banning, to conversational AI that permanently rewires political beliefs, cohort targeting, bot swarms, deepfakes, debanking, the UN Global Digital Compact, and the Brussels Effect that routes around the First Amendment. This isn't theory. This is the operating system already running the digital world. We also lay out real parallel systems and local action steps you can take right now to preserve sovereign voice before the window closes.

Most of us have an unspoken rule set for modern relationships: Avoid the landmines. But according to Jacob Mchangama, that kind of fear-based self-censorship leads to disconnection. If you can't be forthright about what matters with the people you share life with, you may stay civil, but you won't stay close.In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with Jacob Mchangama—founder and executive director of the Future of Free Speech at Vanderbilt University—to explore what it looks like to disagree without dehumanizing. They talk about why today's conversations feel existential, how identity gets tangled with beliefs, and how to build habits that keep you grounded when your nervous system wants to go to war.Memorable Quotes“It is much better to confront those differences head-on rather than try to hide them under this veneer of mutual tolerance and respect—which really is not based on mutual tolerance and respect if you can't have those difficult conversations that divide people.”“When you self-censor about issues that are deeply meaningful to you, issues that affect society as a whole, when you think that you cannot speak out on an issue where you think someone that you're close to is wrong… it breeds loneliness. And then if you can only be very forthright about certain issues with a group of people who are completely like-minded, then that might also be self-radicalizing, in a way.”“Approach discussions on social media, for instance, with a mindset of saying, ‘I'm not going into this debate or discussion to win. I'm going into this discussion because I'm passionate about this issue, but I might be wrong.'”“If you have a conversation with someone and you know that you have very different positions on a given topic, you have an opportunity to learn something. Even if that person is not able to convince you about that position, they might have points that make you understand your own position better, or maybe you tweak your own position. Even if you tweak it 5%, that's quite valuable, right?”“If you allow yourself to be in the mindset, again, as I said before of ‘I'm not entering this discussion in order to win. I'm entering this discussion because it's a topic that I'm passionate about. I have certain beliefs, but I am willing to change my mind. I am very cognizant about the fact that I am not omniscient. I am a human being with very limited knowledge.' Just about every person that you meet will have some kind of experience, some kind of knowledge that you don't have, if you are willing to tap into that.”“[When] our identity is wrapped up in that to the point that we can never say we're wrong or we can never say that we made a mistake, that's a really dangerous place, because then you get into this ideological sunk cost fallacy situation where like you can't ever backtrack or change or evolve or grow. And hopefully, in relationships, we are able to evolve and grow. That's one of the gifts of relationships.”Key TakeawaysNot All Self-Censorship Is Bad. Filtering thoughtless comments is basic social wisdom. Silence driven by fear around meaningful issues is what erodes connection.Curiosity Disarms Conflict. Enter hard conversations with a posture of humility: I care about this—and I could be wrong. When you aspire to learn, you probably will.Aim for Understanding, Not Conversion. Even if no one changes their mind, you can refine your thinking and better understand the human story behind the opposing view.Deescalation Is a Skill. If emotions get the better of you, apologizing can reset the tone and invite good faith back into the room.Boundaries Aren't Censorship. If someone consistently denigrates you or refuses meaningful parameters, disengaging is healthy—not a failure.Leaders Set the Temperature. Trust grows when people can challenge ideas (even leadership decisions) without fear of punishment or shame.ResourcesFree Speech by Jacob MchanamaJacob Mchangama's SubstackWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/lKzhW8tjL3YThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke speaks with historian David T. Beito about his new biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt. They discuss FDR's record on civil liberties, including government surveillance and efforts to police speech; the administration's approach to refugees and antisemitism; and early-career episodes like the Newport Sex Scandal. The conversation also covers how progressive-era ideas shaped FDR's political instincts, how New Deal programs like the NRA and AAA cartelized industries, and why key wartime choices, such as unconditional surrender and “rescue through victory,” may have prolonged World War II. They close with lessons for today: the dangers of malleable legal categories and the need for durable institutional guardrails against executive abuse.Dr. David T. Beito is a Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and Professor Emeritus at the University of Alabama. He is the author of many books, including FDR: A New Political Life (Carus Books, 2025), The New Deal's War on the Bill of Rights: The Untold Story of FDR's Concentration Camps, Censorship, and Mass Surveillance (Independent Institute, 2025), and T.R.M.

In this powerful Pickax app launch livestream, Jeff Dornik sits down with Silk from Diamond and Silk as they directly confront government corruption, Big Tech censorship, election fraud, illegal immigration, IRS abuse, NGO money laundering, judicial obstruction, and what Silk calls the Islamification and moral collapse of America. Silk declares that both Democrat and Republican elites are corrupt, defends President Donald J. Trump as the only leader fighting for the American people, and calls out what she describes as fraud in Minnesota, open borders under the Biden regime, and political infiltration destroying national sovereignty. Jeff Dornik reinforces that corruption is the root issue driving censorship and division, explaining why Pickax was built with no algorithms controlling reach and no gatekeepers suppressing speech, restoring open dialogue and human connection in a culture that punishes truth-tellers like Silk and Diamond and Silk.Follow Diamond & Silk on Pickax - https://pickax.com/diamondandsilkFollow Jeff Dornik on Pickax -https://pickax.com/jeffdornikTune into The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE daily at 1pm ET on Rumble.

Publishing likes to imagine itself as a marketplace of ideas with a strong immune system: good arguments win, bad ones fade, and editors act as principled gatekeepers. In practice, it's also an industry with thin margins, status anxiety, and a constant fear of reputational damage. Adam Szetela argues that a lot of what gets called "cancel culture" in books is better understood as risk management under social media conditions. Outrage compresses timelines, collapses context, and turns interpretation into a moral referendum. A handful of motivated actors can create the impression of a mass consensus—and once that perception takes hold, institutions often move first and ask questions later. We talk about how "sensitivity reading" functions in this environment: sometimes as thoughtful critique, sometimes as a liability shield, and sometimes as a tool that quietly shifts a book's meaning toward whatever ideology currently feels safest. The result is a distributed system of incentives that nudges publishers toward caution, self-censorship, and blandness … while occasionally rewarding controversy because conflict drives attention. This conversation doesn't treat every public criticism as illegitimate, or every publisher decision as cowardice. The point is to map the machinery: how reputations get threatened, how moral language expands, why apologies can backfire, and why the incentives often select for the loudest framing over the most accurate one. Adam Szetela earned his PhD in English from the Department of Literatures at Cornell University. Before Cornell, he was a visiting fellow in the Program on the Study of Capitalism at Harvard University. He writes for The Washington Post, The Guardian, Newsweek, and other publications. Among other places, his writing has been honored by the Society for Features Journalism. His new book is That Book Is Dangerous! How Moral Panic, Social Media, and the Culture Wars Are Remaking Publishing.

1. Entertainment as National Security American film and television are portrayed as a strategic asset that shapes global perceptions of freedom, democracy, and U.S. values. Weakening U.S. media companies allow authoritarian nations, particularly China, to fill the cultural vacuum with propaganda. 2. China as the Primary Adversary China is repeatedly the main threat due to: State control over media Global investment in influence campaigns Censorship of American films (e.g., Top Gun: Maverick being blocked over a Taiwan patch). TikTok is an example of why foreign ownership of media platforms is viewed as dangerous. 3. Merger Framed as Pro‑American Jobs The entertainment industry is supporting hundreds of thousands of middle‑class American jobs across multiple states. Netflix’s $1 billion New Jersey studio investment is used as evidence that large, stable companies create domestic employment. The argument asserts that scale = stability, and stability prevents layoffs. 4. Pro‑Consolidation Argument Unlike traditional antitrust concerns, the author claims this merger: Does not reduce competition Actually protects U.S. production from outsourcing Helps resist foreign-backed acquisitions Consolidation is defensive, not monopolistic. 5. Opposition to Foreign Capital in Media Strong concern is raised over foreign government money (Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Qatar) potentially entering U.S. media. Such investments are not neutral and are intended to influence narratives and public opinion. 6. Historical Framing Ronald Reagan is cited: Culture and storytelling were weapons in the Cold War Media independence is essential to freedom The merger is consistent with Reagan-era American leadership principles. 7.
