This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, guest host Sean Noble joins Sam Stone for a packed episode featuring Mackenzie Eaglen of the American Enterprise Institute, who breaks down the true state of U.S. military readiness, how China's defense spending compares to ours, and why Pentagon bureaucracy is undermining our ability to prepare for global threats. Later, Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap offers an inside look at what he calls a “crisis situation” in his office, revealing that outgoing officials stripped him of key powers, staff, and budget before he even took office, leaving voters with a “clearly broken system” and a power struggle that threatens local election integrity. And stay tuned for Kiley's Corner, where she covers the heartbreaking suicides of four officers from the same department last month—and the mysterious reappearance of Valery, the lost wiener dog who vanished on Kangaroo Island in 2023 and was spotted again this February. From national defense to local integrity, this episode delivers sharp insight into the issues shaping America's future.

This month we're sharing a conversation on the implications of climate change in an aging society. HR (Rick) Moody, a scholar of philosophy and career-long leader in positive aging, pulled together a group of people on Zoom, asking neurologist, educator and creative Peter Whitehouse to join Full Ecology's Mary M Clare in leading a discussion focused on Elders and Climate Change.Dr. Moody is deeply committed to climate repair and has recently released a new book entitled, CLIMATE CHANGE IN AN AGING SOCIETY, published by Routledge Press. He also edits the weekly newsletter by the same name.Peter Whitehouse is a leader in Alzheimer's research, having established that the diagnosis cannot represent a stand-alone disease, but rather a complex combination of challenges that vary from person to person. He is also deeply involved in education. He and his wife have, for 25 years, been champions of three charter elementary schools in Cleveland, Ohio focused on bringing young learners and seniors together to enhance the learning of both. Central to the curricula of these schools is attention to the environment and climate challenges. Rick then invited Mary M Clare, the host of HOW IT LOOKS FROM HERE, to join as a second primary speaker. Rick was interested in Mary's work with Gary Ferguson on Full Ecology, together with her current work with what she calls “Inner Elderhood.” .Rick, Peter and Mary join with others who attended the Zoom session to discuss the salience and nuance of Elderhood in times of climate change. You'll hear new links between Elder years and the environment, as well as an enlivened exchange on the intersection of Climate degradation and ageism.You can learn more about Elderhood and Climate Change by checking out Rick Moody's newly released book, CLIMATE CHANGE IN AN AGING SOCIETY. If you're interested in receiving the weekly newsletter by the same name by going to this newsletter link. Learn more about Peter Whitehouse by tapping into a few interviews with him recorded on you tube videos. These, of course, are also in the show notes.And, keep listening to HILFH for more from Mary - you can also stay current by subscribing to the Full Ecology newsletter through the link on the Full Ecology website - www.fullecology.com.The bottom line here - there's always more to learn toward doing our parts as good stewards of the planet, no matter our age.RESOURCESDavid mentioned the veteran's organization that advocates for environmental justice and policies that protect communities, Common Defense.Tara mentioned the book about indigenous people of the Amazon entitled:
Join Joanna "Jojo" Sweatt, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and National Organizing Director of Common Defense, as she unveils the exciting partnership between Common Defense and Task Force Butler to combat extremism and defend democracy.
This week, Congress voted on whether or not to fast track a bill that would hand the Treasury Department the ability to strip any nonprofit of its 501 (c)(3) status by declaring it a "terrorist" supporting organization. This was set to fly trough easily UNTIL Trump got elected and enough Democrats and even one Republican said it was unwise to hand him that power. Don't breathe too easily, though - this bill can return next year, and wonderful nonprofits like Common Defense and Task Force Butler, who just joined forces to stop fascism's rise in America, could find themselves decimated by it. Next, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decided she needed to get to the bottom of why there were so many split-ticket voters - in her case, voters who chose Trump for President and her for Congress. The results of AOC's Instagram survey are both dismaying and insightful, and inspired ME to ask around to see what insights I could find as well - we report on that. Finally, we briefly tell you about how scientists are closer to finding the key to how life began, by replicating simplified mitochondria in lab conditions. All this and more on TMI for Friday, November 15, 2024 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

After the kerfuffle Stigall caused last week in calling attention to Fox News' legal threats to all other media in covering their coming RNC debate, "the suits" gave him a call Friday to have a talk. He gives the details. A viral artist named Oliver Anthony has exploded with the American people over his song "Rich Men of Richmond." Meanwhile, a viral crazy lady on a plane finally apologizes for her bizarre behavior caught on video that Stigall says has caused many to believe was something else entirely. This leads to a bigger discussion of everything from the Maui fires to the Canadian fires, and much of the rest of the news we see and don't see today. Plus former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker responds to the Friday news of the naming of a special council in the Hunter Biden case. - For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigall Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/ Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPod Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Independence Day is a great opportunity to reflect on a principle our nation was founded on: liberty. Polling shows that Americans greatly value their liberty but don't think the government is doing a good job protecting it. Meanwhile, younger generations aren't supportive of certain protections. JD Tuccille from Reason says we need to find common ground when it comes to freedom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Reimagining Company Culture, a series discussing emerging trends and priorities shaping the future of workplace culture and employee wellbeing. We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges. AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission. In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Jacob Thomas, Communications Director at Common Defense. Jacob now consults and contracts with multiple community and national organizations advancing civil and human rights and is the Communications Director for Common Defense, the largest organization of grassroots progressive veterans in the nation.Tune in to learn Jacob's thoughts on advice for managers navigating difficult conversations, creating sustainable change, going above and beyond with DEi training, and more!About AllVoices In today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.
In this episode, A'ndre and Ryan are joined by Kyle Bibby, Deputy Political Director for Common Defense and Marine Corps veteran. Kyle reflects on the War in Afghanistan following the one-year anniversary of the U.S withdrawal. Having served in Afghanistan, Kyle discusses what it was like on the ground, noting the challenges of the U.S. mission in particular. He also highlights his personal experiences with Afghans to emphasize the strong relationship between U.S. troops and their Afghan counterparts, especially given the difficulty many Afghans have faced since the Taliban retook power. The conversation concludes with a discussion of the Afghan Adjustment Act and the Black Veterans Project.
Monday is Memorial Day. It's the one day set aside each year to remember US military members killed in the line of duty. Certainly worthy of the recognition. But we have a growing number of dead citizens who are victims of gun violence. It's time to recognize that growing group of bodies, which we are powerless to stop. Actually, we're not powerless. Unfortunately the people who were elected to represent us in Congress are the ones who've ceded their power, mostly to big money interests. It's time to take it all back. Today, the latest on the devastating news out of Uvalde, Texas. The director of the Texas Division of Public Service answered questions from the press in a 40-minute long press conference, trying to clean up the mess from the last police presser. He answered questions, but his answers are wholly unacceptable. The officer in charge made the call not to attempt to enter the classroom where the shooter was still terrorizing the remaining children he hadn't yet murdered. Today, in advance of Memorial Day, I'll speak with Naveed Shah, political director of Common Defense, a progressive veterans group who you should know about. On Monday, I'll do a special Memorial Day music show on our audio streams only.

This week, Morgan Zegers continues the conversation about common defense with Hamilton's Federalist Paper No. 25. The Anti-federalists feared the unlimited power a federal government would have with a standing army and instead felt that each state should provide for its own defense.In this same subject continued, Hamilton resumes making a case for the Federalist view, expressing concern for the inner conflict that could occur if each state had an army, and the disproportionate burden on more geographically vulnerable states.Join Morgan Zegers weekly on Freedom Papers for a conversation that focuses on the necessity of America's most important manuscripts and the debates surrounding them!#TaxationIsTheft #FreedomPapers #iHeartAmerica #BigGovSucks #FederalistPapers

Morgan Zegers is joined by co-host Connor Clegg to discuss Hamilton's "The Powers Necessary to the Common Defense Further Considered." Federalist Paper No. 24 directly argues against the anti-federalists, who feared the federal government would have too much power, inevitably turning against their own people. In particular, the anti-federalist's main concern was the federalist's desire for a large standing army. While the federalists felt this would be necessary to ensure defense from foreign invaders, the anti-federalists feared oppressive centralized power.

This podcast is a collection of speeches from the January 6, 2022 Vigil for Democracy in Tucson, Arizona. The event was a solemn commemoration of the January 6, 2021 insurrectionist attack on the US Capitol. Several current and former Arizona Legislators and two Arizona Congressman were highly involved in the Stop the Steal movement to disrupt the certification of the 2020 elections. Arizona is Ground Zero for voter suppression. Many of the elected officials who were involved in Stop the Steal and in the failed audit of the Maricopa County ballots are still in office. Watch out for more voter suppression bills in the coming session of the Arizona Legislature. On January 6, 2022, President Joe Biden said our democracy is still in peril. He's right. In Arizona, we must be particularly vigilant. | Rep.

Pundits were left scratching their heads last fall when Foreign Policy reported that Bernie is the top recipient of donations from the military. But to supporters, it was no surprise: Bernie has a long record of fighting for the rights of US troops to health care, housing, and education - as well as keeping them out of endless, counterproductive wars in the first place. In this week's episode, Briahna sits down with Kyle Bibby, co-founder of the Black Veterans Project and an organizer with progressive vets group Common Defense, to talk about how time spent in military service can bring someone to the left. Then, she talks to Hector Barajas, a veteran who was deported despite his years of service and who founded the Deported Veterans Support House in Tijuana, Mexico.

Průmyslová politika. “BORING!!”, jak by možná řekl Donald Trump, za nás je ale tahle šedá myška téma, kde dnes dochází na tvrdé lámání chleba na světové scéně. Jak úzce má být provázaný stát s ekonomikou? Kdo jsou to národní šampioni? Má stát pomáhat některým firmám víc než jiným? A co Evropská unie? Nevyhneme se vlivu Číny a Trumpovi, dojde ale i na nešťastné francouzské vinaře, exkurz do Latinské Ameriky, poválečné uspořádání nebo parní lokomotivu. A na úplný konec drobná úvaha, jestli tohle všechno nemůže hrát roli v odvracení klimatické kalamity.

SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 April 8, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: RUSSIA CAN NOW LAND, UNLOAD AND LAUNCH INTERMEDIATE-RANGE BALLISTIC MISSILES ARMED WITHTHERMONUCLEAR WARHEADS FROM LA ORCHILA ISLAND, VENEZUELA AND PUNTAL HUETE, NICARAGUUA QUICKLY. Dear Mr. President: The current Venezuelan Missile Crisis at the Russian Air Force base on La Orchila Island is now far more serious than the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 or the Nicaraguan Missile Crisis of 1983 when Grenada was invaded by U.S. Armed Forces because it is already operational. Unlike the need to construct reinforced-concrete missile launch sites at Pinar del Rio Province in northwestern Cuba, which required more than a year, or the very long runways that were under construction on Grenada in the Caribbean Sea and at Punta Huete in Central America that were never finished during the Cold War, the very long airfields on La Orchila Island and also at Punta Huete have been completed and are now operational for accommodating the very large Antonov An-124 Ruslan air transports that can carry fully-integrated mobile missile launchers and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads, which can be landed, unloaded and launched within a matter of minutes from Venezuela and Nicaragua at any targets within the continental United Stateswithout advance warning or an effective Missile Defense System in operation. Unfortunately, most of your close advisers are apparently unaware of this threat that now exists. Sincerely, John W. Spring John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 April 6, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: “PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE” IN ISLA LA ORCILA, VENEZUELA Dear Mr. President: If our nation is able to survive the forthcoming thermonuclear attacks that are already planned by China and Russia from North Koreaand Venezuela, you will probably be remembered as being the greatest President of the United States. However, if we as a nation should not become able to survive, in spite of all of your very outstanding accomplishments, you may be recorded in history as America’s weakest leader in a nation that will no longer exist. But you have a choice if only you are willing to be receptive to my advice instead of receiving it from your other sources. In the Preamble of our nation’s Constitution, the words “Provide for the Common Defense” are included. So whenever a foreign entity should threaten our nation and its people, we have the God-given right to intervene. However, if we were to intervene for economic or political reasons then such an intervention would be against the Constitution. Since 2009, on La Orchila Island, now a Russian Air Force base, located in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Sea under the jurisdiction of Venezuela, Russia began extending and widening the runway to nearly two miles in length for accommodating the Antonov An-124 Ruslan and other giant air transports planned for production in China and Russia.

During the time when you may have thought your Administration was enjoying a “honeymoon” relationship with the regime of Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, he was then cheating on you behind your back. Perhaps the most diabolical move made by him has been the building of the very long airfields on La Orchila Island located in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Sea that is now a Russian Air Force base capable of landing the giant Antonov An-124 Ruslan air transport, which can carry integrated mobile launchers and manyIntermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads capable of accurately striking any region of the continentalUnited States from Punta Huete, Nicaragua in Central America. However, due to the limited flight range of the An-124, a re-fueling stopover on La Orchila Island is required to reach Punta Huete, which is why Grenada had been invaded by U.S. armed forces in 1963 for the very long runway then under construction. Now, La Orchila Island has replaced Grenada not only as a re-fueling stopover, but it also provides a strategic location for launching missiles directly at America in a very short period of time after landing and unloading mobile launchers. The turmoil caused in Venezuela, where the Maduro regime administers La Orchila Island, by Russia, Cuba and China has already caused more than 3 million Venezuelans to flee that once rich nation. Pure potable water is in very short supply while diseases are now at epidemic levels. Sincerely, John W.

Already, there are 35,000 Chinese troops from the elite People’s Liberation Special Operation Forces and 46,000 Cuban troops to support and train Maduro’s 360,000-man army. However, of even greater concern is the Russian Air Force base on La Orchila Island with its extremely long runways for landing many giant air transports that can carry mobile launchers with several Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with ThermonuclearWarheads capable of striking all regions of the continental United States from Nicaragua and Venezuela within minutes after landing atPunta Huete in Central America or on La Orchila Island in the Lesser Antilles located in the Caribbean Sea. Unfortunately, unlike your advisers, I can provide you with insight about the mindset of military strategists in Moscow and Beijing who are rather capable. However, you will not find an analyst in Washington who has ever reached my level of accomplishments, background, and experience with the required qualifications related to strategic intelligence related to the missile crises now occurring in North Korea,Nicaragua and Venezuela because without any Missile Defense in operation, we must identify and locate these threats by intelligence analysts who are able to act at a level that is well beyond the capacity of any personnel in Washington and time is running out!

Kennedy as well as two more letters that were sent on behalf of the President from the Department of State and also theDepartment of Defense in Washington of which all were related to my earlier findings and analytic reports for uncovering the Soviet military deployment of Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles and also Medium-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclearand Nuclear Warheads capable of reaching most large cities in the continental United States from launch sites at Pinar del Rio Province located in northeastern Cuba without any advance warning for then killing 170 million Americans with additional ICBMs that would later be launched from Siberia in eastern Russia. Fortunately for me and tragically for Russian GRU Military Officer Colonel Oleg Penkovsky, the Soviet KGB arrested him for my analytical intelligence accomplishments so he was tortured and executed before they had assassinated JFK in Dallas, Texas.

Unlike the need to construct reinforced-concrete missile launch sites at Pinar del Rio Province in northwestern Cuba, which required more than a year, or the very long runways that were under construction on Grenada in the Caribbean Sea and at Punta Huete in Central America that were never finished during the Cold War, the very long airfields on La Orchila Island and also at Punta Huete have been completed and are now operational for accommodating the very large Antonov An-124 Ruslan air transports that can carry fully-integrated mobile missile launchers and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads, which can be landed, unloaded and launched within a matter of minutes from Venezuela and Nicaragua at any targets within the continental United Stateswithout advance warning or an effective Missile Defense System in operation.

However, if we as a nation should not become able to survive, in spite of all of your very outstanding accomplishments, you may be recorded in history as America’s weakest leader in a nation that will no longer exist. But you have a choice if only you are willing to be receptive to my advice instead of receiving it from your other sources.

However, if we were to intervene for economic or political reasons then such an intervention would be against the Constitution. Since 2009, on La Orchila Island, now a Russian Air Force base, located in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean Sea under the jurisdiction of Venezuela, Russia began extending and widening the runway to nearly two miles in length for accommodating the Antonov An-124 Ruslan and other giant air transports planned for production in China and Russia.

Using Brookings scholar Tarun Chhabra's recent report "The China challenge, democracy, and US grand strategy" as the impetus for the conversation, our hosts dive into whether China's threat to liberal democracies is more of a challenge than that presented by the former Soviet Union, and if so, what America is willing to do to contest that challenge. Stay to the end to hear Melanie's inspired "Attagirl" for the senior senator from California.

My guest today is Norman Ball. Norm graduated from Washington and Lee University and worked on the presidential campaign of independent John Anderson in 1980. After a career in the consulting business, he has returned to writing and politics. He has published two essay collections, The Frantic Force and How Can We Make Your Power More Comfortable, and writes for a number of political websites. He lives in the Washington DC area. Norman Ball refers to the Triffin Paradox and to a document entitled Providing for the Common Defense (pdf)), the assessment and recommendations of the National Defense Strategy Commission appointed by Congress. An article in Foreign Affairs outlines the idea of US tactical aggressive use of nuclear weapons as a viable strategy. That article is behind a paywall but is discussed from the Russian perspective in a blog post from the Russian Nuclear Forces Project. Other recent articles on US nuclear posturing include Martin Berger’s “Washington is Getting Dangerously Jumpy”, and the new study by the National Defense Strategy Commission that concludes the US needs to spend more money on the military despite a $716 billion American defense budget this year, which is four times the size of China’s and more than 10 times that of Russia. The Chris Hedges interview with Ralph Nader can be found here. A brief explanation of Michael Glennon’s idea of the Trumanite Network can be found on Wikipedia. The article that led me to Norman is entitled The Life of the Party Has Left. You can find more articles by Norm on http://thesaker.is and other websites. For more information on the Triffin Paradox and its relation to US foreign policy, see Norman Ball's essay on the Triffin Paradox on his website. While Ball’s views are outside the progressive framework, they are quite intriguing and give those of us engaged in anti-imperialist and anti-war work something useful to chew on.

One intention the framers had when creating the U.S. Constitution was to “provide for the common defense.” But who shoulders that duty has not always been so clear.
In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about the "provide for the common defense" clause in the Constitution. To visit the show notes page, click here: http://bit.ly/2pdwYh4 May 5, 2017 Michael Maharrey Thoughts from Maharrey Head Leave a comment { Edit } “10 Minutes Closer to Freedom” In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about the “provide for for the common defense” clause in the Constitution. Progressives have long used “general welfare” as an “anything and everything” clause to justify all kinds of unconstitutional overreach, from federal meddling in education to national healthcare. The right generally scoffs at this bastardization of the Constitution – and rightly so. But more and more, I’m hearing conservatives and Republicans use the term “provide for the common defense” in the exact same way. They essentially turned these words into a right-wing version of the general welfare clause. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I explain why neither phrase justifies expansive federal power.

We the People ordained and established the Constitution in order to provide "for the common defense." In doing so, the debate was sparked over what was needed for that defense, and whether or not there any actual threats to the United States. How would the power of taxation, given to the proposed new government, be an great asset to provide for such a common defense? And ultimately, who decides what are the national security interests of the nation?
