Podcasts about Crumbling

Reports coming from Lebanon are, in many ways, encouraging – the Lebanese government, it seems, is done with Hezbollah and the wreckage of a once-beautiful and prosperous country. The question is, can the government carry out the mandate to remove Hezbollah, its weapons and its influence and create peaceful relations with Israel? Hussain Abdul-Hussain, research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, walks us through the disparate threads of Lebanese politics – from the comforting and hopeful to the skeptical, cynical, and despairing. A Crumbling but Shifting Status Quo Hussein Abdel-Hussain cautiously celebrated what he called one of the most consequential developments in Lebanon's modern history: the weakening of Hezbollah following the reported assassination of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and what he described as Israel's “crushing” of Hezbollah's operational capabilities. This surprising turn of events has opened what he characterizes as a “window of opportunity” for the Lebanese state to reclaim sovereignty and redefine itself as more neutral and nationally focused. Although Hezbollah and its Shia political partner Amal initially agreed to a cessation of hostilities in late November 2024, they have since moved the goalposts. Specifically, Hezbollah now demands Israeli withdrawal from strategic hilltops before it will even consider discussions on disarmament, thus reverting back to old patterns of negotiation delay and defiance—strategies previously employed by figures like Yasser Arafat. Legal and Political Breakthroughs Despite Hezbollah's resistance, the Lebanese government has achieved a historic milestone. For the first time since 1969, the Cabinet passed a resolution asserting that only state institutions are authorized to bear arms inside Lebanon. This directly challenges Hezbollah's decades-long extralegal military presence. Even more remarkably, the decision was made with Hezbollah-affiliated ministers still in the temporary caretaker government, giving the resolution additional political weight. The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) have been officially tasked with drafting a plan to disarm Hezbollah—a move that underscores a shift from rhetorical opposition to potential enforcement. A meeting to review the military's disarmament plan is set, though the LAF has indicated that a full disarmament could take 15 months, well beyond the end-of-the-year deadline set by the Cabinet. The Struggle of the Lebanese Armed Forces The Lebanese military, although increasingly seen as the backbone of national unity and sovereignty, faces severe logistical, operational, and financial challenges. Salaries have plunged to poverty levels due to the economic collapse, and the rank-and-file soldiers struggle with basic needs—including fuel and clean drinking water. Many soldiers hold second jobs to survive, and troop numbers are insufficient to handle complex disarmament tasks. While the United States once provided $144 million annually to support the LAF, this aid has intermittently lapsed due to political friction and has recently been replaced by funding from Qatar, which raises concerns about foreign influence. Qatar and Turkey: External Influences and Islamist Ambitions Abdel-Hussain expressed discomfort with growing Qatari—and increasingly Turkish—influence in Lebanon, particularly within the Sunni community in the north and in Beirut. These nations, he warned, are promoting Islamist factions aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. This power vacuum, created by Saudi Arabia's retreat from Lebanon since 2017, has allowed pro-Qatar and pro-Turkey candidates to gain municipal influence. Worse yet, Turkey is replicating strategies previously demonstrated by Iran—investing in loyalist militias and seeking political hegemony in Syria and Lebanon alike. Abdel-Hussain emphasized that Turkey's intelligence chief-turned-foreign minister Hakan Fidan could become the “new Qassem Soleimani” in terms of aspiring for regional dominance. The Role of the United States: Mixed Messaging, Diplomatic Fumbles The conversation took a critical turn when examining America's diplomacy. Abdel-Hussain strongly criticized US Ambassador to Turkey Thomas Barak for bypassing Israel while presenting a policy paper outlining the roadmap to disarm Hezbollah. That paper was approved by the Lebanese cabinet and included commitments from Israel—commitments that Israel had never actually seen or endorsed. This misstep wasted valuable diplomatic capital, undermined credibility, and gave Hezbollah a new talking point. High-level U.S. diplomacy in the region, Abdel-Hussain argued, has become imbalanced and bureaucratically overloaded—with the same officials covering Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon. He emphasized the importance of restoring proper diplomatic structure and cautioning against over-centralized decision-making. Hezbollah's Deep Systemic Risk While there are Shia soldiers in the Lebanese army, there is scant evidence of systemic Hezbollah infiltration in the senior ranks, according to Abdel-Hussain. He cited funerals of Shia Lebanese soldiers killed in ammunition depot incidents potentially connected to Hezbollah, emphasizing that the community—especially its younger members—showed signs of divergence from militant loyalty. He dismissed the idea that Hezbollah's weapons are essential for Shia security, explaining that Lebanon's Shia are one-third of the population and not an embattled minority like the Syrian Alawites. The rationale for armed militancy, he said, is increasingly seen as a cover for political control, not existential protection. UNIFIL: An Expired Mandate UNIFIL, the UN force stationed in southern Lebanon since 1978, received sharp criticism. Abdel-Hussain blasted it as ineffective, politically unwieldy, and financially wasteful. He accused the French of prolonging its life to maintain influence and jobs, describing it as a “sacred cow” that enables Hezbollah by acting as a passive buffer while spending over $500 million annually. The recent decision to terminate UNIFIL's mandate was hailed as long overdue, with a final 16-month extension granted as a political compromise with France.  Iran's Declining Influence—But Stay Vigilant While not declaring Iran fully out of the picture, Abdel-Hussain argued that its effectiveness is waning. Much of the infrastructure and political capital Iran built in Lebanon and Syria through Hezbollah and the Assad regime is significantly diminished. However, vigilance is required, lest Hezbollah regroups or Iran seeks to finance a resurgence. Currently, he sees Iran's threat limited mostly to missile capabilities from within its borders or via Yemeni Houthis. France: Their Influence Viewed as Destructive Hussein Abdel-Hussain sharply criticized French involvement in Lebanon, alleging that it has become a source of obstruction and incoherence. The French approach, he argued, is economically motivated, opportunistic, and inconsistent with the best interests of the Lebanese people or with stability in the region. The Final Question: Can Lebanon Become Unitary and Neutral Again? Wrapping up on a cautiously optimistic note, Abdel-Hussain argued that history provides the answer: from 1943 to 1975, Lebanon was a neutral, largely self-governed and pluralistic society that emphasized commerce, leisure, and coexistence. The key to its rehabilitation lies in a return to a small, libertarian-minded state that stays out of regional power struggles. He asserted that, if left alone, the Lebanese people would opt for peace and prosperity. However, foreign intervention—especially from Iran, Turkey, and Qatar—must be firmly resisted, and Hezbollah's grip must weaken to restore national unity. Conclusion There's no hiding the uphill nature of Lebanon's path forward, but for the first time in decades, there may exist a genuine foundation for change. If internal unity can hold—and external pressure can be strategically curtailed—following through on disarming Hezbollah could pave the way for constitutional stability and regional reintegration. Is peace possible? Perhaps not yet—but for Lebanon, neutrality might just be the first great victory. Summary prepared by a LLM. 

901 Day celebrations are all but guaranteed to be ruined by a shooting and sure enough, a 17-year-old was shot multiple times, and even a major fight broke out at a staple restaurant on Beale Street. Shootings, car break-ins, robberies are just widely expected now and Jake drops an angry rant about our leaders as a result. Also on the show, President Trump calls the Epstein case a HOAX again after victims of the case spoke out, Druski plays whiteface while at a Nascar race and it was actually hilarious, Chuck E Cheese's bodycam arrest captures crying children, and we call out Wanda Halbert.

Clement Manyathela speaks Gauteng Department of Education spokesperson, Mr. Steve Mabona as angry parents and education activists voice frusrations about the dire situation at Alrapark Primary School in Nigel, where classes have been suspended for three weeks. Parents took drastic action after years of neglect – citing broken windows that injured staff, lingering asbestos, and faulty mobile classrooms that trip power. With education disrupted, pressure is now on Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane, who has promised to rebuild the school in 18 months. But for many, the question remains: why did it take a shutdown to get attention? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Alexandria, Egypt, has stood for almost 2400 years. Today, though, parts of it are crumbling—one building at a time. As Earth's climate changes, the Mediterranean Sea is rising, the coast is eroding, and saltwater is seeping into groundwater supplies. That weakens buildings, causing them to collapse. And according to a recent study, without action to protect the coastline, the problem will get worse in the years ahead.Alexandria is the largest city on the Mediterranean, and one of the busiest ports. But its maritime location is causing trouble. Researchers looked at records of building collapses over the past quarter century. They also compared the coastline to that of previous decades, studied the soil, and made other observations.They found that 280 buildings have collapsed in the past 20 years. Over that span, the rate of collapse jumped from fewer than one per year to almost 40. Almost all of the destroyed buildings were within a mile of the coast.The jump was largely the result of climate change. Higher sea level and stronger storms have eroded the coastline by an average of 12 feet per year, with one district averaging 120 feet. And seawater is filtering into aquifers below the city. That corrodes foundations, causing buildings to crumble.The scientists recommended creating dunes and greenbelts along the coast to keep the Mediterranean at bay—and keep Alexandria from crumbling into the sea.

So much is happening, and it is all about to get very real. The influencers show, and how they work their scams. We truly need a real media. Our culture is being rebranded. Epstein was everywhere. Many that are outraged now, were clients then. We have flight logs and black books. We're dealing with assets not rumors. BTW, Israel is not our friend. Les Wexner was the biggest pedo of all and had graves on his property. The latest SCOTUS ruling was huge. Now, the administration can finally get up and running. Poking the hornet's nest. Next week Tore's in D.C. Controlled exposure is what we're watching. Many are extremely mistaken. Let things simmer and don't eat dirt. Why are confirmations taking so long? Trump lives in so many head rent free. The self exposure is fascinating to watch. People want tribunals. Nuremberg 2.0. The rituals of restoration. Evil people don't see themselves. Jesus confronted evil. Emotional revenge is real. Protecting the innocent is righteous. Stop participating in the division. The CCP owns our ports and airports. China is everywhere. The Israel psyop exchange. Situational intensity incoming. As events unfold, remember everything we know. And always be willing to help those around you understand.

Yesterday reporters asked Trump about the Bondi Memo which has rocked Trump's base of supporters and his response was QUITE explosive. The Epstein rug pull has enraged and already simmering MAGA base and it is clear that the political winds are changing.This tweet from Tricia Hope, a national delegate from Texas, captures the sentiment:“I have been to 42 Trump rallies. After the first impeachment I drove to DC and spent 2 weeks walking the halls of congress to encourage republicans to support President Trump. I sat in the hearings, and I supported President Trump, I was there the night he was acquitted. I say all of this to tell you I am done.President Trump's lack of concern for the Epstein victims and his callus response to the reporter's question, ends my relationship with him. I will not support a man who denies justice to the victims who in this case are children and mocks the question.”~ @JustTheTweets17What does this mean for the political landscape in America?We discuss this and MORE today on the SJ Show!The best medicine is chronic GOOD health and achieving it naturally.

As the rubble in Gaza mounts and half a million lie dead or displaced, the global mask slips further. Israel's so-called ceasefire proves threadbare as fresh airstrikes hit Syria and warplanes scream over Iran. Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu stands trial for corruption — even as his cabinet demands the total starvation of Gaza.On this explosive episode of The Mother of All Talk Shows, George Galloway is joined by two fearless voices:

Disney, purveyors and creators of magical family friendly (mostly) entertainment have existed through an interesting and checquered 9 decades. The company is responsible for some of the most beloved fairytale retellings and pioneered the animated feature film. However, it's not all magic kingdoms and pixiedust. As with all multi billion dollar corporations, there's a dark side. The company has shapeshifted several times over the decades and interestingly, it seems to be undergoing a change again right now. Whether that will be for good or ill remains to be seen.

On this June 2nd edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine tackle the explosive aftermath of Trump's conviction, dissecting the political theater, legal irregularities, and public backlash rippling across the country.
