Podcasts about Complicity

The UN's special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has accused dozens of companies of being complicit in war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank in a UN report. They include arms producers, manufacturers whose vehicles are used to demolish homes, technology companies and banks. Israel rejects the charge of genocide and has called the report groundless, defamatory and a flagrant abuse of office. We'll hear from the report's author Francesca Albanese. Also on the programme: President Trump's huge tax and spending bill is heading for a final vote in the US House of Representatives - we'll have the latest from Washington; and astronomers have discovered only the third known object to enter our solar system from interstellar space.

In these back-to-back firebrand segments, Tara delivers a blistering indictment of the Democrat Party's deep entanglements with Iran and China, warning of an existential national security crisis. From Iranian enriched uranium mysteriously disappearing before U.S. strikes—potentially with help from China—to revelations that Customs and Border Protection released hundreds of unvetted Iranian nationals into the U.S., Tara connects the dots between weak border policy, terror sleeper cells, and foreign influence. Prime Minister Netanyahu's warnings, Trump's bold military actions, and JD Vance's takedown of Iran's failing war capabilities set the global stage, while back home, Democrats are more concerned with censoring free speech and shielding terrorists' "privacy rights" than defending American lives. Tara also highlights Obama's Global Engagement Center and calls out the reactivation of censorship networks designed to silence conservatives. The message is clear: Trump is cleaning up a geopolitical disaster built brick-by-brick by Democrats and their global allies—and the fight for America's sovereignty is only beginning.

Maura Keller, a former Army lieutenant colonel with 26 years in service, is another Georgia Democrat (the third I've talked to on this show this month) who's taking another run at MAGA representation in Congress. Like Shawn Harris and Lexy Doherty, she, too, has a prodigious gap to close at the ballot box in her district (Georgia's 3rd). Wednesday, we discussed the ways to do that, the issues that matter most to her district's voters, her thoughts on sloppy military leadership at the Pentagon, the DOGE ruse (she also worked in government contracting, efficiency being a focus) and more. ------As of posting, the El Salvadoran journalist in the U.S. with legal protected status to do so - Mario Gueara - has been apprehended by ICE after being held in a Dekalb County jail. He was arrested while covering Saturday's 'No Kings Day' protests in that county with some (my opinion) some pretty flimsy charges. Listen to the exchange as you see how far from protestors and police he was prior to being confronted. His attorney, Giovanni Diaz, and daughter Katherine Guevara, addressed the media late Tuesday, as well. ------Lastly, what's gotten into Tucker Carlsoon? My hunch? Nothing new: he's a white nationalist but he's also exhibited antisemitic tendencies, too, so his needling of Ted Cruz in a one-on-one may not be so surprising. Still, it's enjoyable to watch a smug Cruz hem and haw, flailing and failing to give cogent responses to what had to feel like something of an ambush with an interviewer he expected soft glove treatment from.

Since last week, Israeli missiles have flattened homes and killed hundreds of civilians in Iran, and there are fears the United States could soon join the attacks.On this week's Breach Show Podcast, Donya Ziaee and Desmond Cole discuss why the bombs won't bring liberation for the Iranian people—and why Canada must stop backing Israeli aggression in the name of the ‘right to self-defence.'

While one part of the German government tries to decide whether it's against international law to be sending weapons to a country that has started a war while committing genocide, another department is trying to figure out why one in four immigrants wants to leave the country. Meanwhile, we've apparently decided that enough Nazis are dead now so it's ok to have a military veterans' day. Plus, a tiny morsel of good news about urban speed limits.

As Israel's war on Iran escalates, the media continues to flip the script—framing Israel as the victim and Iran as the aggressor, despite Israel initiating the conflict with bombings, assassinations, and covert attacks.In this special live episode of Dispatches, Rania Khalek is joined by political analyst Assal Rad to expose the media's double standards, the U.S. role in orchestrating the war under the false pretense of diplomacy, and the bigger geopolitical consequences of this growing conflict.They also discuss Trump's broken promises, the collapse of international law, the failure of strategic patience, and what may come next if the U.S. directly joins Israel's war.

Across two gripping broadcasts, a disturbing narrative unfolds: federal ICE agents were reportedly abandoned during violent LA riots as local leadership, including Mayor Karen Bass, allegedly intervened to block assistance. This domestic dereliction of duty is paralleled by global stakes—claims that Iran, emboldened by Democratic appeasement, has attempted multiple assassinations of Donald Trump. The commentary ties lawlessness at home to geopolitical instability abroad, accusing Democrats of aligning with America's enemies and endangering national security. With wages rising amid mass illegal self-deportations and pressure mounting on Trump to resist donor influence, the episodes warn that without decisive action, the U.S. faces internal chaos and external threats, including nuclear-armed adversaries.

Critiques of conspiracy thinking abound—but what if our world needs a conspiracy, of people willing to confront their own participation in institutional injustices? Joseph Dumit explains why large corporations knowingly engage in antihuman activities; he also draws from Adrian Piper's insights into bullying institutions, the impact of bystanding, and the importance of blowing the whistle when we notice harm being inflicted.

The first ever case raising alleged complicity in war crimes in an Irish court is set to be heard next month. The Global Legal Action Network is seeking a judicial review over a decision by Gardaí not to investigate a complaint alleging Airbnb is money laundering the profits of Israeli war crimes. The company - whose headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa are in Dublin - lists rental properties in illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine. Éamonn Meehan, chair of Sadaka, the Ireland Palestine Alliance, was involved in the initial complaint to Gardaí in August 2023. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by chair of Sadaka, the Ireland Palestine Alliance, Éamonn Meehan who was involved in the initial complaint to Gardaí in August 2023.

https://x.com/ezzingaza/status/1924173298080063881I no longer go to the Indonesian hospital. What foolishness it is, to speak of hospitals in a place where life is no longer preserved but merely postponed. Once, I believed, oh, how bitterly I believed, that the presence of a doctor among the dying was a sacred thing, a last stand against the void. But here, where the void has taken residence in the very walls, what can sanctity do? The hospital is surrounded now. Not by men, not by soldiers even, but by machines. Drones, humming above like metallic locusts, devoid of soul or pity. They know neither suffering nor mercy, they are the purest expression of obedience without conscience. They circle the building like vultures circling a carcass not yet dead enough. Two days ago, the ceiling collapsed. A nurse had just spoken the word “hope.” Then came the blast, and the word hung in the air a moment too long before crumbling with the plaster. ICU monitors, those fragile gods of modern faith, shattered on the floor. One machine let out a long, wheezing beep as it died. It was the sound of resignation. I think I wept, but I cannot recall if it was with my eyes or only in my mind. And this morning, yes, this morning, as if dawn itself had become ashamed, a drone struck the intensive care unit. It came like a decision already made. There was no warning, no negotiation, no fate to plead with. Just fire. Patients ran. Doctors ran. The hallway became a river of chaos, but silent, terrifyingly silent. One man dragged his son by the shoulders, blood smearing behind them like a signature of some unseen pact. Another woman collapsed, not from injury but from the sheer weight of choosing which of her children to carry. Two patients were taken away in an ambulance, if that word still means anything. The rest had already passed into that cold stillness we now mistake for peace. We still work at the clinic, though I no longer know if it's from duty or habit, or some grotesque need to perform life while surrounded by death. We whisper. We disinfect. We bind wounds that will open again. The scalpel, once a tool of healing, now feels like an accomplice. At home, the walls speak in cracks. The roof sags under the pressure of memory. The air smells like dust and grief. My mother tapes the broken windows each day with the care of a priest dressing a corpse. My father rations rice with the reverence of a man offering communion. But outside, outside, it never stops. The bombing continues with the faithfulness of a priest at prayer. It does not pause. It does not tire. It beats like a heart possessed by something inhuman. And now, the streets. No, not streets, corridors of exile. Rows of tents like gravestones made of fabric. Children play in the ashes, unaware that they are survivors of a war not yet finished. The army says, Evacuate. To where? They do not say. Only: Leave. Disappear. Unbecome. Famine grows near. But even hunger, with its gnawing cruelty, is familiar. Hunger is intimate. It is ours. What is worse, what is unbearable, is the silence that follows the blast. The silence in which you call a name and no one answers. The silence where meaning once lived. This is not a war. It is annihilation dressed in the costume of procedure. It is a logic without soul, a godless arithmetic of bodies and coordinates. And still, still, some whisper that God watches. I do not know. Sometimes I think He has turned His face away, not out of indifference, but out of shame. But if you are reading this, if your eyes have reached these words like a boat reaching a shore you thought unreachable, then for the love of all things holy and damned: Do not look away. To look away is to become part of it. To forget is to bury us before we are dead. To remain silent is to drive the final nail.

We continue discussing the media's role in covering up former President Joe Biden's cognitive decline—a topic that's gaining traction as more voices come forward with admissions of what they knew behind the scenes. One particularly revealing moment came during a conversation between Jon Lovett, former Obama speechwriter and co-host of Pod Save America, and comedian Jon Stewart. Lovett admitted that he was aware of Biden's mental decline but chose to continue supporting him anyway, saying it was because he “cared about the country.” That statement raises a critical question: Is suppressing the truth in service of a political agenda really patriotic, or does it erode public trust even further? We unpack the implications of this mindset and what it says about the relationship between media, politics, and accountability. Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderEaston University - https://www.eastonuniversity.comRed, White, & Brand – TEXT 317-210-2830 for more information.

Our guest for this episode is Auden Schendler, the author of a new book called “Terrible Beauty: Reckoning with Climate Complicity and Rediscovering our Soul”. Published by Harvard Business Review Press, it is part memoir, part reflection, and part prescription from 30 years of working in corporate sustainability. If you aren't familiar with Auden, he learned about corporate sustainability at the Rocky Mountain Institute, which was co-founded by Amory Lovins, who was named one of the world's most influential people by Time in 2009 and considered the Einstein of energy efficiency. Auden then moved on to Aspen Ski Company where he worked from 1999 to earlier this year as its Vice President and then Senior Vice President of Sustainability. He's been named a "climate innovator" by TIME magazine and a "climate saver" by the EPA.In this episode, we talk about Auden's journey from growing up in New Jersey during the environmental decay of the 1970s and spending time with extended family in North Dakota - a place where we found the natural world as a refuge - to his work in local politics in Colorado and in the ski industry. Our conversation though centers on the ideas in the book Terrible Beauty. As Auden says "climate changes threatens everything we care about" so we need to be willing to do the hard work as citizens to bring about real change. He also shares a few ideas about how corporate leaders can go beyond corporate sustainability as usual that just upholds our fossil fuel economy to get to a place where they are using the power of their brand to push for systemic change. However, the book is unlike any other sustainability book or article I've ever read. Auden makes a more joyful case about how we be engage our role as citizens to build community and ultimately drive change that allows us all to thrive - as a parent, as a corporate leader or by just contributing to the place we live.You can buy the book at audenschendler.com, and read a few endorsements from people far more noteworthy than me such as Conrad Anker, Bill McKibben and former White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy.

Jake Tapper and the Media Covering Up Joe Biden's Cognitive Decline? A Shocking Look at Complicity and Cowardice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Across two fiery monologues, a powerful narrative unfolds about alleged institutional betrayal and looming geopolitical dangers. The speaker lays bare what they claim is a widespread cover-up of President Joe Biden's mental decline—one that began during the 2020 campaign and was sustained by a complicit press corps and Democrat leadership. Scripted cabinet meetings, staged public appearances, and orchestrated media silence are all portrayed as evidence of a “shadow government” operating behind the scenes. Simultaneously, the conversation turns to national security, highlighting multiple alleged assassination attempts against Donald Trump tied to Iran and warning of the imminent danger posed by the regime's nuclear ambitions. This provocative exposé calls for transparency, accountability, and decisive action before it's too late.

This heated radio commentary criticizes prominent Democratic figures—including Rep. LaMonica McIver, Gov. Tim Walz, and former FBI Director James Comey—for allegedly justifying or normalizing violence in political discourse. The hosts argue that a dangerous double standard exists: violence from the political left is excused as protest, while similar actions from the right are harshly punished. The discussion spans topics from ICE agent confrontations and Tesla dealership attacks to an IVF clinic bombing and perceived media gaslighting, suggesting an alarming cultural shift toward legitimizing left-wing violence as acceptable political expression.

A long episode here! Today we are going to start by focusing in on Gaza, which is the most visible epicenter of violent imperial policy on the planet, and then expand into the Gulf States. Trump's recent trip to Riyadh and and the US effort to build the gulf into an AI bastion against china, get Saudi and Syria to Normalize with Israel in order to expand and complete the Abraham Accords, which it looks like it will happen, and the Iranian nuclear deal developments.

In this final podcast in the accountability series, I discuss the areas of accountability in which we find ourselves complicit in perpetuating bad behaviors. These complicit behaviors overlap with many of the reasons we don't hold people accountable. I also briefly review some important principles related to accountability. Finally, I provide a long list of action items to help increase your capacity to take accountability.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, hosts Nate Thurston and Chuck Thompson discuss President Trump's recent speech in Saudi Arabia, highlighting his comments on the Middle East's modernization and peace through negotiation. They also delve into a new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson that reveals concerns about Joe Biden's cognitive decline during his presidency, and discuss the implications of lifting sanctions on Syria. The episode also touches on the role of the media in shaping public perception and foreshadows an upcoming analysis on a new spending bill.

In this explosive segment, concerns are raised over Senator Thom Tillis' role in blocking prosecutor Ed Martin, potentially enabling a Democrat-led legal strategy to jail Trump allies. The discussion outlines a three-part plan to protect the deep state through control of the FBI, DOJ, and especially the D.C. District Court, with warnings of a looming constitutional crisis and political weaponization of the justice system.

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter! In this episode, Joel Rosenberg is joined by Dr. Tommy Fretwell to unpack a crucial theological question: Has the church replaced Israel in God’s plan, or does God still have a unique purpose for the Jewish people? Together, they explore the roots and impact of supersessionism—also known as replacement theology—and discuss why some in the church believe God’s promises to Israel now belong to the church. From Tommy’s extensive research, they break down the different forms of this theology, its historical consequences, and why a biblical understanding of Israel is so important for believers today. Whether you’re a pastor, Bible student, or just curious about Israel’s place in God’s story, this episode is full of insight, scriptural clarity, and practical encouragement. Let’s dive into this essential conversation about Israel’s ongoing role in God’s redemptive plan.

By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. Prayer: Praying that more and more pastors, ministry leaders, and bible teachers hunger to know the word of God from Genesis through Revelation.Pray that as they study, they have a deeper and deeper passion for knowing the scriptures. Pray that more and more pastors develop a hunger, not just for the New Testament, as wonderful as the New Testament is, but really the biblical promises made, the covenants made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and through their people to the Messianic prophecies. Praying that that hunger for God's word and an understanding, a clearer understanding of God's heart for Israel and the Jewish peoplePray that pastors who have sadly embraced supersessionism and replacement theology will begin to realize that they're mistaken. Pray that God would also minister to Jews who've been harmed, who've been hurt, who've been stung by antisemitism, by Christians who or people who claim to be Christians, but many even who are generally saved, but they just don't get Israel.

As Senator JD Vance visits India to expand trade ties, overlooked headlines reveal a global shift away from China—welcoming Trump's tariff strategy. India supports the tariffs, imposes its own on Chinese steel, and eyes deeper U.S. trade partnerships. Meanwhile, China threatens vague retaliation, and deeper truths emerge about America's entanglement with the Chinese Communist Party. From COVID's engineered origins to elite financial complicity, this fiery analysis exposes how U.S. media, political figures, and globalist interests are aiding China's rise—while silencing those who dare to challenge the status quo.

In a powerful exposé blending two explosive segments, the story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—dubbed “Saint Kilmar”—unfolds as a symbol of systemic failure, elite hypocrisy, and political gaslighting. An illegal immigrant tied to MS-13 and flagged on a transnational criminal watch list, Kilmar was stopped in Tennessee under suspicion of human trafficking, only to be released by order of the Biden-era FBI. Despite multiple court rulings identifying him as a mid-level gang member ("Chikayo") involved in violent criminal activity, Democrats and left-wing legal advocates continue to defend and attempt to repatriate him from El Salvador, where he is currently held. Meanwhile, top Democrat figures like Maine AG Aaron Frey and New York AG Letitia James push narratives denying biological concerns in women's sports and face accusations of their own—James with mortgage fraud and stolen valor allegations, Frey echoing state propaganda as he downplays safety issues. Across the board, the narrative reveals a growing rift between public sentiment and elite priorities, with polling showing even deep-blue California voters opposing trans athletes in women's sports and a majority of Americans now supporting mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

We discuss how the media failed to take its significance seriously, why our reactions are about more than just a game, and why, yes, supporting it does make you a bad person.

Dr. Lesley Gill joins us to discuss complicity with trump's fascism, and by that, she means universities, businesses, law firms, and all who are willing to cave to trump's threats. She contends that this is no caving or collaborating but complicity. She also talks about the government's kidnapping of students and legal residents for deportation. This is no time to be sitting, it is all hands on deck. We end with all you fascists gonna lose by Woody Guthrie.

With the International Court of Justice telling Israel to adhere to the Genocide Convention (a repudiation of their violence of historic significance), the question is raised, “what are the limits of formal organizations and is our silence in the face of violences complicity?” Alabama killed a death row inmate on Thursday by giving him a nitrogen gas mask instead of oxygen, a first in history. Over half the world's people (more than 4 billion) live in the more than 60 countries that will hold elections this year, the largest number and percentage in history. But elected governments from India to the U.S. either tolerate or exacerbate inequities, hatreds and violences against specific groups. Can we stop these things? And if so, what will it take? More than elections, for sure, but political participation is necessary.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sudan has brought the United Arab Emirates before the International Court of Justice, with accusations the government is complicit in the genocide of its people, by supporting the Rapid Support Forces militant group. While the UAE denies the accusation - and any violation of the Genocide Convention - both UN experts and United States lawmakers say Sudan's claims are credible.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping – Propaganda, Complicity, and Haymitch's StoryIn this episode of Superhero Ethics, hosts Matthew and Riki welcome special guest Danielle from WrittenInTheStarWars to dive deep into Suzanne Collins' newest novel in The Hunger Games franchise, Sunrise on the Reaping. The trio explores how this prequel reveals the true story behind Haymitch Abernathy's Games and challenges what readers thought they knew from the original trilogy.What makes Suzanne Collins' writing unique in YA literature?The hosts discuss Collins' masterful use of first-person narrative, with Danielle highlighting how Collins understands both the strengths and weaknesses of this perspective. Her intentional structuring of chapters and story arcs keeps readers engaged while delivering complex themes accessible to young adults without oversimplifying them. The conversation explores Collins' famous quote: “I don't write about adolescents. I write about war for adolescents.”How does propaganda shape the story in Panem?Sunrise on the Reaping reveals how the Capitol manipulates narratives, showing that what Katniss learned about Haymitch's Games was heavily edited propaganda. The book explores how different forms of propaganda work—from entertainment spectacles to subtle messaging that convinces citizens the Games are necessary for peace. Characters like Effie Trinket demonstrate how effective this indoctrination can be, while others show resistance to these manufactured stories.What do we learn about Haymitch as a character?The novel provides a stark contrast between the real Haymitch and the persona crafted by Capitol editors. Readers discover he was someone who refused to think of other tributes as enemies, consistently protected others, and maintained his humanity throughout the Games. The book also reveals his tragic journey toward alcoholism, showing how it began as medical treatment before becoming his coping mechanism for trauma and loss.Other topics discussed:How Maysilee Donner evolves from a "mean girl" to one of the book's most compelling charactersWhy Collins may have written this book now as a response to current political eventsThe difference between how Haymitch's relationship with Maysilee was portrayed in propaganda versus realityThe careful way Collins handles familiar characters from the original trilogy appearing in the prequelThe humanity of Career tributes and how they too are victims of the Capitol's systemThe theme of complicity and how everyone in Panem's system becomes part of maintaining its horrorsThe conversation concludes by reflecting on how Collins uses her storytelling to encourage readers to question propaganda in their own lives and recognize complicity in unjust systems. By revisiting Haymitch's Games, she reminds us that history is often written by the victors—but truth can be a powerful tool for rebellion.LinksFollow these links to earlier discussions on The Hunger Games with Danielle:The Hunger GamesThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

What is actually in these orders, and how bad is it that one of leading litigation firms in the country gave in to Trump's demands without  a fight? And what will it mean for the already-overloaded immigration court system when they start going after immigration lawyers as they have also promised? Former NYC Biglaw associate (and current NYC public defender) Liz Skeen joins to help us to understand this uniquely un-American moment in American legal history.

The White House is defunding USAID, one of the largest distributors of foreign aid, and blaming it on wasteful spending—like a D.E.I musical in Ireland. But as Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn unpack, the real losers are Christian relief organizations like World Relief and Catholic Charities, which now face devastating budget cuts. Then, it's been over 20 years since the release of Blue Like Jazz, the bestselling book that made faith feel cool. Did it offer a helpful critique of evangelicalism, or was this the beginning of the rise of vibes-based Christianity? Also, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat joins Skye to discuss his new book, Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious. He explains why our increasingly secular culture is still drawn to spirituality and why rejecting religious institutions in favor of “DIY faith” may not be the answer. Plus, we have a trailer for a new season of Why I'm Still a Christian.
