Podcasts about Censorship

In this episode of Media Confidential, Clothilde Redfern and Martin Bright join Alan Rusbridger and Lionel Barber to discuss how national security laws are increasingly being used to restrict journalism around the world.Clothilde is the director of the UK branch of Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Martin Bright is a journalist and contributing editor of a new report by the charity which shows a growing pattern of governments expanding the meaning of “national security” to justify secrecy, surveillance, and sustained pressure on reporters. The four discuss cases like that of Julian Assange and how legal action can have worrying impacts on journalists. They also talk about the line between legitimate security concerns and unnecessary suppression of reporting.To read the RSF report ‘National security as a weapon against journalism', click here: https://rsf.org/en/new-rsf-report-national-security-weapon-against-journalism Hosted on Acast.

***This episode is not edited as it was recorded directly after Donald Trump's speech***Donald Trump went on primetime television to tell the country that America's elections are compromised. A few hours earlier, Stephen Miller gave a much quieter speech at the State Department that was far more alarming. While Trump ranted about voter fraud, voting machines, China, mail ballots and election “security,” Miller laid out a federal counterterrorism strategy aimed directly at the political left.In this episode, Robin breaks down both speeches, what NSPM-7 actually does, and why the administration's plan for the 2026 midterms goes far beyond campaign messaging. The language is already in place: disrupt, identify, defund, debank, arrest and prosecute.Trump's address got the live blogs, cable coverage and instant fact-checks. He repeated unsupported claims about noncitizen voters, Chinese interference, stolen voter data and compromised election machines. He also announced plans to involve federal agencies in state election systems, remove people from voter rolls and investigate officials tied to the alleged fraud.But while everyone was watching Trump, Stephen Miller was explaining what comes next.Speaking to foreign security officials at a State Department ministerial, Miller described the political left as a terrorism threat and defended NSPM-7, a national security directive that gives federal agencies a broad mandate to target organizations, activists and financial networks.And the scope does not stop with people accused of violence. It can reach donors, organizers, lawyers, bail funds, nonprofits and anyone the administration decides is supporting the wrong movement.The speech also went somewhere even darker. Miller attacked civil liberties, complained about juries refusing to convict people accused of assaulting ICE agents, and told the room that leftists do not look “normal” because their appearance reflects what is supposedly inside them.That language is not random. Robin traces its historical roots and explains why authoritarian movements so often describe political opponents as diseased, deformed, dangerous or visibly different. Once the enemy is defined by who they are instead of what they have done, there is no way to behave your way out of the category.Trump provides the spectacle. Miller provides the machinery and framework for what's to come. Together, the two speeches point toward a broader strategy for the 2026 midterms:• Destroy confidence in election results before voting begins• Push federal agencies deeper into state election systems• Purge voter rolls in the name of election security• Threaten media outlets that refuse to cooperate• Treat protest networks and organizers as terrorism infrastructure• Intimidate donors, lawyers, nonprofits and bail funds• Use financial pressure and debanking without waiting for criminal convictions• Export the framework through international intelligence sharingThis episode separates what the administration has actually done from what it has merely claimed.The franework is real. The evidence being used to justify it often is not.Trump's speech was the distraction. Stephen Miller's speech was the blueprint.The loud speech told America what to fear. The quiet speech explained what the government plans to do about it.Topics include Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, NSPM-7, the 2026 midterm elections, voter purges, election security, left-wing terrorism, debanking, civil liberties, ICE protests, jury trials, political repression, authoritarianism, fascism, voter fraud claims, media license threats and federal intervention in state elections.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

President Trump addresses the nation tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern with major new declassified intelligence on foreign election interference and voting machine vulnerabilities. But before he even speaks, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is demanding networks censor the entire speech. On this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down what this reveals about the left's confidence in our system and how the House's bold move attaching the SAVE America Act to a national security bill changes the game.Doug also connects the dots on the broader cultural assault: New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's controversial immigrant map that erased Little Italy and historic communities, the push to bring Ebonics back into California classrooms, and alarming polls showing growing sympathy for Hamas among younger Americans. This isn't random — it's the systematic replacement of America's melting-pot culture with tribalism and victimhood.Strong analysis, historical perspective, and real hope for the path forward.

Disinformation is impacting our lives. Much of it is being pushed by unregulated Silicon Valley tech companies and their billionaires owners. But people in Europe are pushing back.In this episode, co-host Michael Fox goes to Spain, to look at how members of the Spanish far right have been inspired by Charlie Kirk. Then we look at grassroots organizing against Big Tech in Ireland, media education initiatives in Finland, and European measures regulating Big Tech. “This has now been a topic of discussion very much in Europe,” says Finish educator Saara Salomaa, “Should we actually trust any U.S. tech companies or should we try to get rid of U.S. tech companies as soon as possible?”Michael is joined in the episode by Laura Flanders.

“If you can only explain the arguments of the other side because they're mad or dangerous or dumb, the problem is with you.” — Turi Munthe On yesterday's show, the psychiatrist Sally Satel described how Americans imagine their own mental condition differently, depending on their politics and age. Which is a nice segue for today's conversation with the Anglo-French journalist turned media entrepreneur Turi Munthe. It's not just in our mental health self-evaluation, Munthe argues, that we hallucinate reality. Indeed, the French born Munthe often sounds like one of his post-structuralist compatriots in his defiantly slippery notion of ontological reality. In Why We Think What We Think: The Unexpected Origins of Our Deepest Beliefs, Munthe argues that our deepest convictions turn out to be shaped by genetics, brain shape and sometimes even by the agricultural legacy of our distant ancestors. Left and right thinkers, Munthe argues, are different political phenotypes — each hallucinating their own version of reality. Total relativism, then — the full French post-structuralist monty? Not quite. Here's where Munthe's Englishness kicks in. Following the Anglo-Russian philosopher Isaiah Berlin, Munthe insists pluralism and relativism are different. So Turi Munthe doesn't just think what he thinks because of his English or French origins. Borrowing from the cognitive scientists Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercier, Munthe defines thinking as a “contact sport”. So, for example, believing that the 2020 election was stolen is what Munthe calls a social commitment, because humans would rather be wrong together than right alone. Speaking of convenient segues, Munthe's thoughts on thinking set the scene for next Tuesday's conversation with Emily Eakin, author of The Frenchmen. It's her history of seductive post-structuralists like Foucault, Derrida and Lacan who corrupted a whole generation of literary American Ivy Leaguers (including Eakin) into hallucinating reality. Five Takeaways •       Pluralism Is Not Relativism. Munthe opens with Isaiah Berlin's distinction: registering the sincerity and value of opinions across the political, religious, and ethical spectrum does not relativize truth. That Charles Windsor is King of the United Kingdom is a statement of fact; whether you're a monarchist or a republican is where opinion begins. The book confines itself to the second category — beliefs, values, and opinions that cannot be factually proven — and asks what the nonrational influences on them actually are. The answer is humbling: genetics account for perhaps half of political persuasion, and the rest is shaped by everything from brain anatomy to the agriculture of our ancestors. •       Different Political Phenotypes. At the margins, left and right differ neurologically: right-leaners are on average more readily startled by loud noises and more attentive to threat, while left-leaners carry a slightly larger anterior cingulate cortex — the brain region where we process ambiguity and split hairs. That anatomy, Munthe argues, explains the ideological capture of academia and media better than any conspiracy: hair-splitters go where the hair-splitting is, and a conservative 22-year-old doesn't volunteer for a newsroom where 80% of colleagues think differently. We are, in his phrase, different political phenotypes, each hallucinating a different version of reality. •       Thinking as a Contact Sport. Drawing on Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercier's research, Munthe argues that reason didn't evolve for solitary contemplation — Rodin's Thinker is the wrong image — but for argument: to convince you to hunt the buffalo with me, I need reasons that look objective to you too. The evidence is everywhere, from the most impactful academic papers being written by pairs and groups to the creative density of small university towns. The implication is political: the people we disagree with are not obstacles to good thinking but the condition of it — the loyal opposition that helps us get out of ourselves. •       Wrong Together Rather Than Right Alone. Munthe's reading of January 6 and the stolen-election faith is social rather than psychiatric: an enormous number of our beliefs matter more for what they do than for what they say, and professing them is a commitment to a group. From an evolutionary perspective, believing what your village believes — even about the god who is a giant rock at the end of the field — is intelligent, because the ostracized lose the protection of the group. The terrifying data point is the marriage test: in the 1950s, around 4% of families would have objected to a child marrying across party lines; today it approaches 45%. That is affective polarization, and it can pull societies apart. •       The Problem Is With You. Munthe spent his twenties unable to fathom American gun rights — supporters had to be bought, dumb, or morally corrupt — until he did the work and found a tradition he now calls beautiful and heroic, whether or not he shares it. His rule of thumb: if you can only explain the other side's arguments as madness, danger, or stupidity, the problem is with you. This is not centrism — there was no middle ground on slavery or the Holocaust — but a defense of the clash itself: societies need the left to fix inequality and the right to defend the village, and we think best when the two are, in his words, continually bashed against each other. About the Guest Turi Munthe is a journalist and policy analyst turned media entrepreneur. He founded Demotix, which became the largest network of photojournalists in the world before its sale to Corbis in 2012, and Parlia, an encyclopedia of opinion. He has written for The Economist, The Guardian, the TLS, The Nation, and The Spectator, has sat on the boards of Index on Censorship, openDemocracy, and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, and is a board member of the Italian media group GEDI, publisher of La Repubblica and La Stampa. He studied Arabic and History at Oxford.

Once you start paying attention to the words they parrot and the propaganda they push, it's far easier to hear the panic in democrats' voices when they're asked outside the Capitol if the media should refuse to cover the President's address tomorrow night. Censorship? Isn't that un-American? Joe Biden wants to tell you all about his new book... if you can understand what he says... and the "safest most secure election ever" has apparently never heard of Sidney Powell. Listen to the former federal prosecutor tell you ALL ABOUT the fraud in Fulton County, Georgia.  

In 2008, artist and activist Ai Weiwei clashed with the Chinese government over its response to the deadly Sichuan earthquake. The government had censored information about the death toll, so Ai Weiwei launched a citizen's investigation, knocking on doors and visiting villages to learn the names of the thousands of children who died. More recently, the artist has also become critical of political censorship in the United States. In today's episode, he joins Here & Now's Scott Tong for a conversation about his new book On Censorship, a critique of censorship under both democratic and authoritarian governments.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Censorship is often associated with authoritarian governments. But throughout history, efforts to control ideas have taken many different forms — and they haven't always come from the state. In this episode, Nico sits down with University of Chicago professor Ada Palmer to explore the history of censorship from the Renaissance to the present day. They discuss what motivates censorship, why it evolves alongside new communication technologies, how effective it has been throughout history, and what historical patterns can teach us about today's free speech debates. Ada Palmer is a professor of early modern European history at the University of Chicago and the author of Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age. She is also an acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author, composer, singer, and expert on anime and Japanese popular culture.

Today's Marc Cox Morning Show covered it all — grief, grit, and good news for St. Louis and the conservative movement. The show opened celebrating Cardinals rookie Jordan Walker's historic Home Run Derby win before turning to the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham and South Carolina's smooth transition installing his sister, Darlene Graham Nordone, to finish his term. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson reported live from Tel Aviv as President Trump reimposed a blockade on Iran and resumed airstrikes for a third straight night. St. Louis Congresswoman Cori Bush faced relentless scrutiny throughout the show over her refusal to explain where tornado relief donations funneled through a dark money nonprofit actually went. Former State Senator John Lamping broke down major wins for school choice and conservative accountability in St. Charles County, while Senator Eric Schmitt paid tribute to Graham and confirmed his support for Missouri's tax-cutting Amendments 4 and 5. Attorney Mark Cantor delivered a powerful conversation on rising antisemitism in America, and Armed American Radio's Mark Walters covered the ongoing fight over the Illinois AR-15 ban. The Media Research Center's Michael Morris exposed how Apple and Google actively suppressed negative coverage of scandal-plagued candidate Graham Platner.

The final hour of The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers a powerful mix of tribute, accountability, and encouraging economic news. Senator Eric Schmitt honors the late Lindsey Graham while slamming Democrat obstruction on deporting violent criminals and confirming his support for Missouri's tax-cutting Amendments 4 and 5. Marc and Kim correct the record on the Home Run Derby rules and call out Joe Scarborough for pushing manufactured outrage over a justified ICE-related shooting in Maine. Media Research Center's Michael Morris delivers a bombshell: Apple and Google systematically suppressed damaging Graham Platner coverage from millions of voters during the Maine primary. The show wraps with genuinely good news — June inflation dropping to 3.5%, the biggest one-month decline in six years, even as renewed strikes on Iran raise questions about gas prices ahead.

On this week's episode of the RealClearInvestigations Podcast, J. Peder Zane and James Varney speak with Tablet writer and RCI contributor Lee Smith about conservative media in the Trump era with a special focus on X.    On the news round-up, Zane and Varney discuss how a ProPublica investigation reporting on the Trump administration's aggressive immigration efforts, which includes a remake of the courts, is targeting a once protected class for deportation: unaccompanied minors who crossed the border. They also looks at a new report from the White House that assails the leadership of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History for “explicitly adopt[ing] an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated, but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens.”  00:00 Introduction and Overview of Current Events 02:01 Immigration and Deportation Policies 07:01 American History and Political Narratives 13:03 The State of Conservative Media 20:13 Challenges in Modern Journalism 30:03 The Role of Social Media in News Consumption 32:44 Navigating Information Overload 36:27 Censorship and Free Speech Dynamics 40:03 The Role of Propaganda in Media 44:21 The Responsibility of Media Platforms 48:31 Distinguishing Free Speech from Press Freedom 50:10 Acknowledging the Current Media Landscape 55:24 The Importance of Accountability in Media Books & Articles Discussed in This Podcast: Lee Smith: Is the EU's Spat with Elon Musk Really About Free Speech? https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/eu-spat-elon-musk-free-speech   Lee Smith: The Man Setting Fire to the GOP    ProPublica: Trump Surges Deportation of Minors    White House: Saving America's Story https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/07/saving-americas-story/   New York Times: Inside Trump's Ideological Fight With the Smithsonian https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/us/politics/trump-smithsonian-ideological-fight.html   Sign up for the RealClearInvestigations Newsletter.

Meta wants a camera on every face on Earth, the UK government wants to hand-pick what you see on YouTube, and Australia's Prime Minister just told a comedian exactly who he'd sleep with.This week: why Meta's camera glasses only ever worked for creeps until they hired Kylie Jenner to fix that, the UK's new plan to force BBC and ITV content into your algorithm, and Anthony Albanese's now-infamous "shag, marry, date" answer on Nikki Osborne's Bush Deep podcast. Plus: becoming an accidental landlord, a very 30s neck injury, and a genuinely serious question about telling Melbourne's massage parlors apart from its brothels.

“Someone said, oh, you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that… No, I just shaved my hair and lost some pounds.” — Kaya Genç on Trumpism's global fanbase The NATO circus rumbled into the Turkish capital of Ankara this week resembling more of a gun show than an alliance summit. Ringmaster Donald J. Trump promised Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the F-35s and lifted the very sanctions that Trump himself had imposed. Erdogan handed out pistols to the assembled leaders — with poor old Keir Starmer (no Winston Churchill) leaving his at the airport. And observing all these clowns from Istanbul was the Turkish novelist and essayist Kaya Genç. As a contributor to the anthology How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump, Genç is a keen America watcher. He first set foot in the United States in January 2017, stumbling into New York City's protests against Trump 1.0's Muslim-ban. What seemed temporary — Trump as a bizarre historical aberration — looked to Erdogan-literate Kaya Genç like an operating manual for 21st century populist authoritarianism. Turkey, Genç argues, has spent a century Americanizing itself. First with the 20th century Marshall Plan, the highways, the Hilton hotels, and finally an American-style executive presidency operating on the politics of referendum. Now, he says, the whole world — from Turkey to France and Britain — is living with the consequences of 21st century Americanization. Like a more functional NATO, right-wing populists operate like an international alliance. Erdogan, Trump, Meloni, Le Pen and Farage are like a club in which projecting strength at summits buys impunity at home. And this club has a house style. Turkish right-wing columnists, Genç reports, deploy Michael Corleone on their X banners — exactly David Thomson's warning earlier this week about Hollywood's glorification of on-screen violence. So, in a way, America observers like Kaya Genç got a sneak preview of Trump's America in movies like The Godfather. First as cinema, then as life. From both Turkey and Russia with love. Five Takeaways •       NATO: The Club of the Mighty. The night before the summit, activists were rounded up in Ankara — LGBTQ rights defenders, labor unionists, journalists — as threats to NATO security. In Turkish civil society, Genç explains, NATO doesn't represent the liberal world order; it represents the mighty, and has since the writers of the 1960s. The summit itself was a military passion show: jets overhead, revolvers gifted among the attendees, and a host country whose ruling politicians no longer hide that arms exports — including the drones Ukraine used so effectively — are now the mission of the Turkish economy. •       Trump: A Star Among Right-Wing Voters Everywhere. In India, a chubbier, longer-haired Genç was once told: you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that. The Turkish media savaged Biden but forgives Trump everything — Netanyahu is the villain of the Turkish press, while Trump speaks the language. Not Turkish (though he tried a phrase): the language of the presidential system. The Turkish right's America has always been selective — yes to the death penalty and gun ownership, no to labor rights, free expression, and the trans movement — an instinct as old as the poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy's advice to copy Germany's industriousness and leave out the decadence. •       Living the Consequences of Americanization. Turkey began its republic in the 1920s on the European model — parliament, proportional voices for an ethnically diverse country. After the Marshall Plan, it re-forged itself on the American one: highways, Hilton hotels, burger joints, and eventually an American-style executive presidency, approved by referendum over the objections of people like Genç. That's why Trump 1.0 read so differently in the two countries: in New York it looked like an exception to be fought off; in Ankara it looked like how American politics works — and something to imitate. •       Populists Learn Like Large Language Models. Did Erdogan create the model, or is Trump teaching Erdogan? Neither, says Genç: it's a dialogue — right-wing populism learning from itself the way AI learns from language models. The AKP ran a Gramscian culture war through the institutions; Meloni, Le Pen, and Farage apply the cosmetic soft brush that makes fascist-rooted politics presentable. Join the club, project strength at the summit, and whatever you do domestically stops mattering. Putin, notably, is not in the curriculum: Turkey is returning its S-400s to get the F-35s, and Russia is becoming a footnote. •       The Hologram and the Pushback. Ekrem Imamoglu — the Istanbul mayor Genç profiles in The Dial as the hologram candidate — won the city with socialist municipalism, and the skeptics who warned it would alienate the pious were simply wrong. Soft liberalism, the faith Genç himself held since the nineties, is disappearing; the pushback is finding its heroes in dead poets — Rosa Luxemburg, and Sevgi Soysal, whose novel Walking is out in English from New York Review Books. From Istanbul to Middle America, Mamdani to AOC, Genç's advice to the left is the same: don't fragment — conquer the big parties. About the Guest Kaya Genç is a novelist and essayist from Istanbul. He is the author of Under the Shadow: Rage and Revolution in Modern Turkey and The Lion and the Nightingale, and his writing appears in The Dial, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, Index on Censorship, and Jewish Quarterly. He is a contributor to How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump (The New Press, June 2026), edited by The Dial's Madeleine Schwartz. References: •       How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump, edited by Madeleine Schwartz (The New Press, June 2026).

This is really a tale of two countries: The United States and Brazil. In both countries, far-right presidents come to power — Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro. In both those countries, the presidents spent several years unraveling democratic institutions and public policy. Both presidents then ran for reelection. Both presidents lied about their country's voting systems in order to undermine the elections and whip up their base. Both those president lost their reelections — Trump in 2020. Bolsonaro in 2022. They both claimed fraud and tried to carry out a coup to stay in power. But that is where these two paths diverged. In the United States, president Donald Trump continued to peddle his lies about the elections. He created his own social media platform and he used it to push his agenda. He was reelected in 2024 and returned to power. In Brazil, however, the country's Supreme Electoral Court blocked former president Jair Bolsonaro from running for office for 8 years, because of the lies he told about the country's electoral system.It wasn't censorship… it was a different interpretation of free speech. One that said the right to free expression must be balanced with the other rights in the country and the country's democratic system. The United States doesn't agree. And the Trump administration has been pushing to bend Brazil toward its definition of "free speech."In this episode, co-host Michael Fox journeys to Brazil to understand the lengths that this country has gone to fight disinformation. Michael is joined in the episode by Maximillian Alvarez, editor-in-chief and co-executive director of The Real News and the host of the Working People Podcast.The Battle for Free Speech is a production of The Real News NetworkHosted by Michael Fox and Marc SteinerTheme music by Michael Fox, Jordan Klein and Daniel NuñezOther music from Blue Dot Sessions and Epidemic SoundProduction and Sound Design by Michael Fox and Stephen FrankEditorial support by Kayla RivaraResearch by Ben SchweigerGuests: Fabio de Sa e SilvaArtur RomeuFernando PaulinoBrian Mier Resources: Follow The Battle For Free Speech on Spotify or Apple PodcastsSupport Michael Fox's reporting at patreon.com/mfox.Never miss an episode — sign up for The Real News newsletter at therealnews.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

In this episode, the crew unpacks the debate around BIP 110, why it has become such a lightning rod in Bitcoin, and what it could actually mean in practice. We talked through the core disagreement over what counts as “spam” on the Bitcoin network, the difference between miner-activated and user-activated soft forks, and why some are skeptical that BIP 110 will achieve its stated goal. We also explored the risks of transaction filtering, the role of consensus rules versus individual policy preferences, and how proposals like this expose bigger questions around governance, open-source development, and trust in Bitcoin node implementations.We also shifted into the mining side of the conversation, where we shared exciting progress on Mujina and why open-source mining firmware matters so much. We highlighted recent demos showing extremely fast power ramping, support for mixed hash boards on a single control board, and new community-built tooling and dashboards. To close things out, we gave a shoutout to the hashers supporting 256 Foundation, checked in on the leaderboard, and teased an upcoming guest episode with someone who knows ASIC development inside and out.

New Zealand banned it. So did France, Australia and South Africa, and every American publisher who saw the manuscript in 1954 turned it down. Brian Boyd, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Auckland and the world's leading Nabokov scholar, joins Dane Giraud to trace the censorship history of the twentieth century's most contested masterpiece. They cover Nabokov's extraordinary life in exile, why he wrote a confession narrated by a predator, the Paris press that finally published it, Graham Greene's satirical John Gordon Society, the French ban traded over Suez, the 1958 American release that outsold everything since Gone With the Wind, the Kubrick and Lyne adaptations, and what seventy years of banning Lolita teaches us: suppression sells, and the impulse to censor never learns. https://www.fsu.nz/ https://x.com/NZFreeSpeech https://www.instagram.com/freespeechnz/ https://www.tiktok.com/@freespeechunionnzSupport the showhttps://www.fsu.nz/https://x.com/NZFreeSpeechhttps://www.instagram.com/freespeechnz/https://www.tiktok.com/@freespeechunionnz

Liam DeBoer describes his Substack blending philosophy, psychology, culture, politics, and history, and argues in “Your Ruling Class Is Not Secular” that modern materialist elites still express religious impulses by mapping “soul,” apocalypse, and salvation narratives onto gender ideology, climate change, and revolutionary politics. He discusses Orwell's 1984 as a psychological study of totalitarianism reshaping perception, and links current activism to young women, noting polling showing young women moving left and widening dating/marriage mismatches. He predicts widening Western factional conflict, references the “fourth turning,” and explains Nietzsche's ressentiment and victimhood. He outlines “daycare governance” in a feminized institutional culture and summarizes “political ponerology” archetypes behind authoritarianism. He details Canada's “Vancouver model” money laundering tied to triads, casinos, and politics, and discusses censorship, platform throttling, and Zuckerberg's motives.00:00 Meet Liam DeBoer00:33 Ruling Class Religion03:34 Climate as Cult04:40 Orwell and Totalitarianism07:53 Politics and Dating Divide11:21 Fracture and Future Conflict14:46 Fourth Turning Cycles17:00 Nietzsche Ressentiment23:32 Victimhood and Agency26:24 South Korea 4B Fallout28:01 Daycare Governance Model35:06 Equality Clips Greatness37:55 Political Ponerology Types42:46 Canada Money Laundering52:06 Censorship and Free Speech55:30 Zuckerberg Rebrand57:22 Closing and Linkshttps://liamoutloud.substack.com/https://x.com/liam_out_loudhttps://www.youtube.com/@liam-out-loud=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

On the eve of the United States' 250th birthday, Michael Fox sits down with Mansa Musa — longtime activist, former Black Panther, host of TRNN's Rattling the Bars, and a man who spent nearly 49 years in prison — to ask a deceptively simple question: what does free speech actually mean?From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to Quito, Ecuador, to Frederick Douglass's 1852 address "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July," this episode unravels the gap between the promise of the First Amendment and the reality of who gets to speak in America — and who pays a price for it."There's a kind of narcotic effect of those words — free speech," says legal scholar Mary Anne Franks (Fearless Speech). "It's because we think we know it so well that we don't know anything about it."Historian Fara Dabhoiwala traces how the US broke from the rest of the world's balanced approach to free expression during the Cold War, and a forgotten 1986 Ursula K.

Anthony Freda drew one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in advertising history — and illustrated the op-ed pages that helped sell a war. He was paid extraordinarily well to move product, opinion, and entire populations. Then he walked away.In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with the illustrator-turned-whistleblower to trace the hidden machinery of persuasion — from Edward Bernays and the "engineering of consent" to the four simple tools used to manufacture belief, sell wars, and convince a nation that its own sickness was health. But this conversation doesn't stop at media criticism. What begins as an insider's confession becomes something far stranger: a story about fear as a weapon, technology as a delivery system, and a spiritual war most people never realize they're inside.

Can controversy make a movie impossible to ignore?This week, Sam Whitfield takes a closer look at the internet's latest lightning rod: Citizen Vigilante. Directed by Uwe Boll and starring Armie Hammer, the film has become one of the year's most talked-about independent releases after generating fierce debate over its political themes, graphic violence, and unconventional distribution. Following heavy criticism, questions over censorship, and a viral boost on social media, Citizen Vigilante has become a case study in how outrage can fuel attention in the digital age.In this episode, you'll discover:Why Citizen Vigilante has become one of the most controversial films of the year.Whether the backlash has helped the movie reach a far larger audience than it otherwise would have.How outrage, censorship debates, and social media algorithms can transform a niche indie project into a viral cultural flashpoint.What the film reveals about the current state of free speech, online discourse, and the growing divide between mainstream critics and audiences.Why creators should understand the mechanics of controversy—even if they don't agree with the message behind it.This isn't a review celebrating or condemning the film. It's a conversation about the modern media landscape, where controversy often becomes the most effective marketing campaign money can't buy. Whether you think Citizen Vigilante is provocative, misguided, entertaining, or simply bizarre, its rapid rise offers valuable lessons about culture, censorship, and the internet's attention economy.And if you're looking for a thriller built on grounded espionage, compelling characters, and geopolitical intrigue rather than manufactured outrage, be sure to check out my latest novel, Vengeance in Venezuela, available now in paperback and ebook.Sam's Substack: https://samwhitfield.substack.com/Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheWhitfieldReport2nd YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitfieldReportReloadedKick Channel: https://kick.com/whitfieldreportSam's Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Whitfield/author/B00M1DNU88?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DIcoDO0BIDyuH7SWIsAB8?si=8c06106f817d4eebAmerican Instinct Pulp Adventures: https://americaninstinct.substack.comFollow Sam on X and Instagram @SamW_NGCFollow Right To Offend Media on X @RTOMediaBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitfieldreportThanks for listening to The Whitfield Report.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Disclosure, Earth Changes, and the Battle Over Who Controls the Story A Wide-Ranging Report From ECETI In this episode of As You Wish Talk Radio, host James Gilliland of ECETI presents a fast-moving commentary on earth changes, solar activity, weather anomalies, disclosure, government secrecy, UFO research, and the spiritual state of the contact community. Speaking in what he calls a strained voice because of heavy chemtrails over the Pacific Northwest, James frames the episode around the idea that official disclosure has been an “80-plus year fail,” arguing that the public has been given controlled narratives rather than meaningful truth about extraterrestrial contact. Solar Activity, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Weather Warnings James begins with what he describes as major earth-change updates, including large sunspots, possible X-class flares, auroras, communications glitches, power-grid concerns, and increased earthquake and volcanic activity. He mentions Yellowstone, Long Valley, the Socorro magma body, the San Andreas and Cascadia fault systems, and recent quakes in California, Japan, and Venezuela. He also discusses typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and unusual storm behavior, suggesting that some weather patterns may be connected to atmospheric changes or weather manipulation. Chemtrails, Health, Deep State Claims, and Political Commentary The episode then moves into James's broader critique of government, public health institutions, and what he calls deep-state agendas. He discusses Tulsi Gabbard, Anthony Fauci, COVID-19 origins, gain-of-function research, biolabs, Big Pharma, depopulation claims, chemtrails, food and water contamination, heavy metals, parasites, nanotechnology, and 6G-related concerns. He also comments on political figures, alleged election interference, James Comey, Barack and Michelle Obama, Donald Trump, and a reported threat involving a UFC event, framing these topics through his belief that hidden systems of control are being exposed. Why Disclosure Keeps Failing A major theme of the episode is James's claim that the UFO and UAP disclosure movement has been compromised by controlled narratives, financial incentives, jealousy, gatekeeping, and agency influence. He criticizes major UFO organizations, researchers, conference systems, and media figures whom he believes have ignored or suppressed authentic contact evidence. He praises some congressional disclosure figures, including Anna Paulina Luna, Tim Burchett, and David Grusch, but says real disclosure requires harder questions about past agreements with less-evolved beings, human abduction, experimentation, censorship, and the suppression of spiritually advanced extraterrestrial contact. Benevolent Contact, Universal Law, and the Divine Feminine James contrasts what he sees as fear-based disclosure with contact involving spiritually and technologically advanced beings such as Nordics, Pleiadians, and other benevolent off-worlders. He argues that these beings could help humanity evolve, restore the Earth, transcend war, clean up the planet, and live according to universal law. He also emphasizes the importance of the divine feminine, saying that spiritually advanced societies often honor feminine wisdom and that suppressed stories of women, grandmothers, Mary, Asherah, and other feminine spiritual figures are beginning to reemerge. ECETI, Censorship, Shasta, and Spiritual Protection James points to ECETI's decades of documented sightings, witnesses, videos, and contact experiences as evidence that he believes has been unfairly ignored by the broader UFO community. He says ECETI has had witnesses from many backgrounds, including engineers, military personnel, pilots, air traffic controllers, and visitors from many walks of life. He also discusses Mount Shasta, saying that remote viewers, including himself, found that benevolent beings had left due to psychic turbulence, reptilian intrusion, drugs, commercialization, and other disruptive energies. He urges listeners to use discernment, live according to universal law, anchor in the light, and ask for protection in the days ahead. UFO Footage and the Call for Direct Experience The final portion of the episode features James narrating footage that he says shows UFOs, fleets of ships, objects near Starlink satellites, objects near the space station, and craft interacting with planes or moving through the sky above ECETI. Throughout the footage, he emphasizes that these are not “fuzzy tic-tacs,” but repeated sightings that he believes demonstrate direct contact and ongoing surveillance of human space activity. The episode closes with a promotional invitation for viewers to join ECETI's online community, watch As You Wish Talk Radio, view skywatch footage, explore workshops, and support ECETI's work.

On June 10, early in the morning, FBI agents raided the homes of individuals involved in Palestine solidarity activism at the University of Michigan. As Yarden Katz and Stephen M. Ward report in Mondoweiss, “with help from local and state police departments, including the University of Michigan Police, the raids unfolded simultaneously in Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin…The case is now known as the Michigan Eight. The Justice Department indicted the eight defendants—five of whom are current or former students at the University of Michigan, and one of whom was a University employee—on multiple counts of severe charges, including “Conspiracy to Transmit Threats in Interstate and Foreign Commerce.” The defendants, all in their twenties, now potentially face decades in prison.” In this installment of our ongoing series “Police State University,” we speak with Kevin Zheng, a member-organizer and secretary of the Graduate Employees' Organization at the University of Michigan, and Grace Viscito, a restaurant worker and former graduate student at the University of Michigan.Additional links/info: Graduate Employees Organization (GEO) website, Instagram, Facebook page, and X pageLegal Fund of Michigan Students for PalestineYarden Katz & Stephen M.
