4. Copley asserts that China and Russiaare reasserting their identities as empires by reconnecting with historical traditions. He describes China as a composite state attempting to regain its social contract by linking with its imperial past. Similarly, he views Vladimir Putin as a nationalist who has reinvigorated the Russian Orthodox Church and may restore the monarchy. Finally, Copley notes that even the United States, facing the limits of republicanism, seeks legitimacy and "nobility" through symbolic associations with monarchs. This reflects a global trend of seeking leadership that transcends daily politics. (4)NOVEMBER 1941

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Jan Jekielek about his book Killed to Order and the investigation into China's alleged forced organ harvesting; reports of organ trafficking tied to Chinese military hospitals; the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghurs; evidence presented by journalists and human rights investigators; proposed U.S. legislation like the Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act and the Falun Gong Protection Act; and the broader geopolitical and human rights implications of confronting the Chinese Communist Party, and much more.

On this episode of Impact Theory, host Tom Bilyeu sits down with Prof Jiang for a riveting deep dive into the shifting dynamics of global power, the realities behind rising tensions between the US and China, and the future of the world order. Prof Jiang brings a unique perspective shaped by his own cross-continental journey—from childhood in China, to elite education in the West, and back to teaching in Beijing—offering insider insights into how both sides really view the ongoing geopolitical chess match. Together, they unravel the oft-cited “Thucydides Trap,” explore whether China truly seeks global dominance, and challenge common assumptions about the motivations of world leaders, including Trump's moves in Iran and Venezuela. The conversation doesn't stop at geopolitics; Tom Bilyeu and Prof Jiang also break down the cultural realities shaping policy, the role of eschatology and religious extremism in international relations, and what the coming fragmentation of global systems could mean for everyday people. Whether you're curious about economic theory, fascinated by history's lessons, or trying to make sense of today's headlines, this discussion delivers sharp analysis and thought-provoking debate from two of the most insightful minds working at the intersection of East and West. Prof Jiang's journey has been marked by unexpected turns and intense moments. After a major accomplishment (“we demolished it”), Prof Jiang faced confusion as news emerged about sending boats to Iran, prompting questions about the purpose and direction of these actions. As uprisings increased and more ships were dispatched to help, Prof Jiang grappled with uncertainty—especially when decisive action failed to materialize amidst tragic civilian losses. Amid rising tensions and talk of nuclear weapons, Prof Jiang's story is one of critical questioning and navigating complex geopolitical events, always seeking clarity and accountability in turbulent times.

We're joined by Janatan Sayeh from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies to break down what this shift means and where the conflict could head next. Later in the show — China finds itself deeply exposed as the war threatens its energy lifeline, with Beijing relying on Iran for the vast majority of its oil imports.

Patrick Bet-David sits down with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to discuss her claim that “they spied on me,” the discovery of a secret DHS file room, the fallout surrounding El Mencho and cartel operations, and efforts to identify and remove alleged deep state actors inside the Department of Homeland Security.

National security expert T. Casey Fleming is the CEO of BlackOps Partners, a strategy and cybersecurity consulting firm that he founded in 2008. He's also the author of the new book, “The Red Tsunami: The Silent Storm Killing Your Freedom.”“It may look like a book, but it's a whistleblower's exposé and survival guide. … It basically tells you what to do to protect yourself,” Fleming said.“Number one: Stop buying Chinese products and services and stop investing in companies that are investing in China,” he said.The Chinese Communist Party has been using what are known as unrestricted warfare tactics against the United States for decades, and on multiple fronts, he said. Its purpose is to weaken the enemy from within—without firing a single shot.There are dozens of tactics, including, for instance, cognitive warfare, drug warfare, and biological warfare. These manifest in the deployment of TikTok—which remains a powerful cognitive weapon in the CCP's arsenal, Fleming argued—as well as the spread of both COVID-19 and fentanyl addiction in America.For years, Americans have largely failed to notice this pattern of unrestricted warfare and how the pieces fit together. “The mosaic effect is you see bits and pieces and you don't connect them, and so it doesn't really mean much to you. … When you connect the dots… it becomes the mosaic. You now see what your enemy is doing and what the end goal is, and how you need to protect yourself.”Casey said he believes this silent, unrestricted war is the final war: “The world will be won or lost within the next 10 years or less.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Today’s podcast begins back home in Malaysia, then picks up in Calcutta (3:58), followed by dispatches from both Agartala (12:22) and later Siliguri. After making fun of North Korea and China’s national “elections” (15:50), we take a deeper look at China and India’s relationship (25:52), followed by China’s efforts to (literally) silence the languages of the minorities in China (43:51).

Los estados del Golfo Pérsico atraviesan una crisis de primera magnitud. Sometidos al fuego diario de misiles y drones iraníes, la imagen de estabilidad que habían cultivado durante décadas se ha desmoronado. Todos dan por hecho que sus líderes deberán repensarlo su posición desde cero. Pero es improbable que modifiquen de raíz sus gran estrategia. Lo más seguro es que profundicen su alianza con Estados Unidos al tiempo que mantienen alguna forma de diálogo con Irán. Las fricciones entre los emiratos del Golfo y Estados Unidos a propósito de Irán no son nuevas (desde la invasión de Irak en 2003 hasta el acuerdo nuclear de Obama) pero ninguna llegó a mayores. Expulsar al ejército de EEUU de sus bases tras el conflicto solo daría la razón a Irán, que está atacándoles independientemente de las bases. Además, sin los sistemas Patriot y THAAD estadounidenses, que han interceptado en torno al 90% del armamento iraní, el peaje a pagar habría sido mucho mayor. Las alternativas a Estados Unidos revelan los límites de una posible diversificación de aliados. Pakistán ha resultado irrelevante pese a su acuerdo de defensa con Arabia Saudita. China se ha mantenido al margen y Europa funciona como complemento, no como sustituto. Entretanto, la imagen que tienen de Irán ha ido a peor, ya consideran enemigo al que antes consideraban hermano, pero eso no supondrá por ahora el fin de las relaciones. Saben que mientras en Teherán sigan mandando los mismos podrán estrangular el estrecho de Ormuz indefinidamente. La guerra ha generado un sentimiento de unidad, pero las diferencias políticas torpedean algo parecido a una OTAN del golfo Pérsico. Omán, de hecho, felicitó al nuevo líder supremo iraní y nadie más le secundó. Arabia Saudita, con su oleoducto Este-Oeste, está menos expuesta que los Emiratos, cuyos centros logísticos en la costa del golfo de Omán han sido atacados repetidamente. Cuando se asiente el polvo, estos emiratos tan ricos seguramente ajusten su política exterior, pero no la reinventarán. Estados Unidos es parte del problema, pero sigue siendo parte de la solución. Con Irán ocurre exactamente lo mismo. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra el pesimismo”… https://amzn.to/4m1RX2R · “Hispanos.

Why does the application of AI technologies produce such different outcomes in China as compared with the west? China's 15th five-year plan illustrates how peoples' lives can be enriched by combining a planned economy with technological advances in production. The capitalist approach of profit for a tiny minority, on the other hand, results in the immiseration of the vast majority of workers. Automation tools in socialist hands deliver freedom, while in capitalist hands they only cause further hardship. Subscribe! Donate!

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: A potential shift from Europe and Japan on securing the Strait of Hormuz—but as allies stop short of specifics, U.S. air power, including A-10 Warthogs, is already striking Iranian assets to reopen the waterway. A bizarre and troubling turn in the cartel war, with a California-born figure now leading Mexico's most dangerous drug empire, complicating any effort to take him down. A new U.S. intelligence assessment is raising eyebrows, suggesting China may not be preparing to invade Taiwan—at least not on the timeline many had feared. And in today's Back of the Brief — a chilling reminder of the regime's brutality in Tehran, where a teenage champion wrestler is among those publicly executed as part of a widening crackdown on protesters.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers a major shift in the war with Iran after President Trump orders Israel to halt strikes on Iranian gas fields following retaliatory attacks that shook global energy markets. He also explains why oil and gas prices are surging worldwide but hitting regions unevenly, along with the White House's controversial move to allow some Russian and Iranian oil to keep the global economy from spiraling. Finally, Bryan breaks down the bigger geopolitical picture, including quiet Arab support for the war, growing involvement from Russia and China, and a rising political battle at home as media figures and former officials challenge the administration's strategy.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran war update, Israel Iran gas field strikes halted, global energy crisis oil gas prices 2026, Strait of Hormuz conflict impact, Russian oil sanctions waiver Iran oil policy, Arab support Iran war analysis, China Russia support Iran conflict, Tucker Carlson Joe Kent controversy, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

Oliver Frisen, CEO of Guardian Metal Resources, joins to discuss their upsized U.S. IPO and the two tungsten mines they're looking to create in the U.S. within the next three years. China, Russia, and North Korea make up about 90% of tungsten mining right now. The metal is used for autos, in the aerospace sector, and many other critical areas. He warns that a lot of manufacturing could have to stop due to the lack of the mineral if the U.S. can't find its own domestic supply quickly.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

The imperialists are preparing the ground for war in the Pacific, but their plans rely on the acquiescence of the region's people. Separatist sentiment in Taiwan has seen a marked decline recently, where increasing numbers of workers are waking up to the danger that they are being prepared to be the ‘Ukrainians' of the east – ie, to be sacrificed on the altar of profit-hungry capital. Their best defence against such a horrific fate is peaceful reunification with China. Subscribe! Donate!

What happens to the environment when the state enters previously self-governed villages in rural China? We explore this question in the Blang mountains in southwestern China, a region that was incorporated into the nascent people's republic of China from 1953 onwards, with immense consequences for Blang communities and ecologies. Our guest Daniel Mohseni Kabir Bäckström disentangles how the arrival of the state disrupted long-standing relations between Blang communities and the local mountain gods, making the land sick. And what Blang people can teach us about tackling the ongoing climate crisis. Daniel Mohseni Kabir Bäckström is a guest researcher at the Department of Culture, Religion, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oslo. Kenneth Bo Nielsen, your host, is a social anthropologist working at the University of Oslo where he also heads the Centre for South Asian Democracy. Learn more about your ad choices.

According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China exported over 1.35 million vehicles in just the first two months of the year, up nearly 50% year-on-year. That's almost 1,000 cars every hour leaving the country. Even more striking: New Energy Vehicles now make up over 40% of China's auto exports, with over 300 NEVs and hybrids shipped globally every hour. What's behind this explosive growth? And why are more countries saying "yes" to Chinese cars?

It's been awhile since we cut a video and America is back at war. Because Israel forced our hand. Or is it because Iran was a credible threat? or was it to hurt China?

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW WITH GORDON CHANG, STEVE YATES, JIM FANELL AND CHARLES BURTON.1920 BRECKENRIDGE TEXASThe provided transcript from The John Batchelor Show explores the geopolitical complexities surrounding President Trump's postponed trip to Beijing amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East. Gordon Chang and Steve Yatesdiscuss how China leverages diplomatic ambiguity to project power, noting that the Chinese government never officially confirmed the summit dates. The dialogue shifts to maritime security, where Captain James Fanell evaluates the People's Liberation Army Navy's use of new drone technology as a propaganda tool in the South China Sea.

The participants collectively argue that Western nations remain vulnerable to Chinese influence operations and unreliable trade commitments. Through these various lenses, the source highlights a global landscape defined by strategic uncertainty and the fraying of traditional alliances.

Whiparound Fridays return as Andy and Brendan! record during the early window of NCAA Tournament Thursday. After a brief check-in on the Illini and Johnnies ahead of their first round games, attention turns to another tradition of spring: the reveal of the Masters Champions Dinner menu. Andy and Brendan share their thoughts about everyone else sharing *their* own thoughts on Rory McIlroy's selections, which seem to appeal to a wide audience. Dan Orlovsky was not pleased by the menu during an appearance on SportsCenter, giving PJ more fodder and another chance to remove him from the Cameron Young bandwagon. Andy and PJ trade reviews of the PGA Tour's "Hard Knocks" show, "Chasing Sunday," which premiered Tuesday night. Andy is thrilled to have a golf product made for golf fans about the actual playing of golf, but PJ isn't so sure that the "Hard Knocks" edit truly came through. As the Tour continues to make these shows, will players get a "bad edit," or will everything have a so-called "Disney ending"? Brendan and Andy then discuss some early Masters storylines with just three weeks until play in Augusta, including the strong crop of debutants at this year's tournament. Brendan has some first-hand accounting from the Hainan Classic in China where the first round lasted over five hours on Thursday. In other news, Phil is BACK for the HyFlyers (in dead last place), and Bryson DeChambeau had yet another press conference moment made for social media in South Africa. Lastly, Brian Rolapp spoke on CNBC about the changing media rights landscape for pro sports leagues and might've made it seem like the PGA Tour's deal will be going... down... when it's time to renegotiate. We'll see you on Monday after the Valspar and a weekend full of college basketball.

Today's Headlines: Russia is having a great week. It's sharing satellite imagery, intelligence, and drone technology with Iran, sending a tanker of 700,000 barrels of crude to Cuba in direct defiance of the U.S. blockade, and watching oil approach $110 a barrel. Israel assassinated Iran's intelligence minister, Iran's new Supreme Leader vowed revenge, and the IDF is still running wide-scale strikes across Iran and southern Lebanon. The Fed announced no interest rate cuts this month — or likely this year — because starting a war with no plan tends to complicate things. Gas nationally jumped nearly a dollar a gallon in under four weeks, wholesale food prices hit their biggest spike in a year, and that's before oil prices fully filter through to grocery shelves. Trump's solution is to quietly waive sanctions on Venezuelan, Russian, and Iranian oil — the sanctions he spent years bragging about. On Capitol Hill, Tulsi Gabbard testified at the Worldwide Threats Hearing and managed to both defend the war and confirm that Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan are jointly developing nuclear missile systems targeting the U.S. homeland — apparently without noticing the tension there. She declined to confirm Russia is arming Iran, even as it's actively happening. Markwayne Mullin's DHS confirmation hearing got contentious, with Rand Paul making clear he's a no. The Fed held rates steady and basically told Trump to stop asking. In a bombshell report, the New York Times published allegations from more than 60 sources — including civil rights icon and UFW co-founder Dolores Huerta — that labor hero Cesar Chavez groomed and sexually abused girls as young as 12 within the movement. Huerta, now 95, said the abuse led to the birth of two children she placed for adoption, and that she stayed silent for 60 years knowing she would be pushed out of the movement she helped build. Her statement is devastating and worth reading in full. And Meta shut down Horizon Worlds — its virtual reality social network that almost no one used and that cost the company a reported $77 billion.

War continues to rage in the Middle East, and energy infrastructure is being targeted. The price of oil has surged to $115 a barrel, and gas in the U.S. is now averaging $3.88 a gallon — up almost a dollar from before the war. President Trump recently waived the Jones Act in an attempt to lower oil prices. Will it work? Also: what's next for the Federal Reserve, and where U.S.-China relations currently stand.

Iran attacked critical liquefied natural gas and oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, including a major source of gas for Europe. It was retaliating in response to Israeli strikes on a gas field that supplies a lot of Iran's domestic energy. This morning, we delve into what it means for the price of oil, precious metals, government bonds, and more. Plus, we learn how China's entry into the World Trade Organization impacted local U.S. banks.
