Podcast appearances and mentions of Diego Garcia

Send us a textToday's drop is brought to you by… anger, caffeine, and one last damn slot for the Operator Training Summit. Jared's back with a full-frontal assault on the newest batch of DoD clownery: airframes that are being “upgraded” before they even exist, moving programs that still don't move anything, and bonus cuts that would make a finance troop cry in DFAS-approved tears.We've got everything from Russia testing nuclear air-to-air missiles to the Space Force getting 3% of the budget while being told to dominate orbit. The E-7 still isn't here, China is casually infiltrating American data systems, and the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program might bankrupt us before it ever flies. Meanwhile, the military's entire PCS and EFMP system is straight-up FUBAR'd, and CardoMax is the only thing holding the line.

Israel Prepares to Strike Iran as Peace Talks Falter – With nuclear negotiations between Trump's team and Tehran collapsing, Israeli intelligence warns of imminent airstrikes on Iran's enrichment sites. Mossad and the IDF are on alert. Trump moves F-15s to Diego Garcia to protect U.S. bombers amid escalating tensions. Mexican Cartels Unite as Government Admits It's Losing Control – Two major drug cartels—CJNG and Los Chapitos—form a new alliance while Mexico's own intel agencies privately admit the cartels have become shadow governments. Even elite political staff in Mexico City are now cartel targets. U.S. supply chains and border security may soon face fallout. Bird Flu in Brazil Could Send U.S. Chicken Prices Soaring – A poultry outbreak in Brazil, which supplies 40% of the world's chicken, has foreign buyers turning to U.S. producers. This could tighten domestic supply and spike prices during peak grilling season. Trump Confronts South Africa Over White Genocide Allegations – In a tense White House meeting, Trump accuses South African President Ramaphosa of enabling racially motivated land seizures and violence. Trump plays footage of political leaders promoting violence against white farmers. Critics say Trump is exaggerating—but policies and rhetoric in South Africa suggest race-based discrimination is very real.

Send us a textIf today's Pentagon brief were a movie, it'd be a dark comedy with no budget and a glitchy drone trying to play hero. Jared returns with another savage rundown of everything broken in military bureaucracy—from the $18B PCS debacle to the Air Force accidentally playing bumper cars with drones mid-flight.We're talking Space Force funding so bad it's practically space homelessness, transgender policy whiplash, B-21 bombers being bought like Costco bulk snacks, and a DoD so addicted to credit it'd make Congress blush. Add in China flexing its missile game and our response being “eh, maybe 145 bombers will fix it,” and you've got today's briefing.This episode's got radar bombs, hurricane hunters, lost civilian jobs, and a new Air Force Secretary who hopefully doesn't suck at graduation speeches.

Immigration Showdown: Trump Admin Escalates Enforcement – A sitting Democratic congresswoman is federally charged for assaulting ICE officers; California jails are forced to comply with deportation warrants; and the Supreme Court greenlights Trump's rollback of protected status for 350,000 Venezuelan migrants. Meanwhile, the administration considers suspending habeas corpus for mass deportations. Trump's “Self-Deport or Pay” Strategy Emerges – A Honduran woman faces a $1.8M fine for ignoring a deportation order since 2005. As self-deportation flights begin—with $1,000 cash incentives—Trump's team aims to make noncompliance too costly to ignore. Iran Tensions Rise, U.S. Fortifies Diego Garcia – Following Iran's fiery rejection of nuclear limits, the U.S. deploys F-15s to the Indian Ocean base to protect strategic bombers amid threats from disguised Iranian missile ships and drones. Europe's Populist Politics and Alleged French Election Meddling – Portugal's Chega party surges again, while Romania's pro-Western candidate scores an upset many say was influenced by France's intel agency to protect natural gas interests. Hong Kong Researchers Identify Oral Bacteria as Autism Biomarker – A new study finds that oral microbiota can diagnose autism with 81% accuracy.

Send us a textIn this extended Daily Drop, Jared unleashes a tactical nuke of sarcasm on the Pentagon's parade of WTF decisions. From billion-dollar contracts imploding to Airmen stuck in retirement limbo, it's clear nobody's steering this defense dumpster fire. Cyber Command wants to be SOCOM now (because that worked so well before), troops can't move because the PCS fairy ran out of money, and SpaceX is somehow our last hope in space. Also: PFAS water, political drama, and Congress failing military families… again.If you like your military updates with a side of rage and real talk, you're in the right TOC.

Send us a textWelcome to the May 8th Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down another round of Pentagon chaos with his signature sarcasm. On today's menu: the DoD admits it probably won't pass an audit… for at least another 3 years (LOL), military daycares struggle with child abuse reporting (yikes), and the Pentagon's cyber warriors are apparently fighting cartels with keyboards at the border (sure, why not?).Meanwhile, the KC-46 Pegasus finally clears its cracked ribs, the F-15EX basing drama gets messier, and SOCOM's new aircraft is already asking for upgrades—less than a year in. Over in Space Force? They're making a planetarium movie to convince you they're not just a meme, while also quietly building a new orbital warfare “product line.” Oh, and North Korea? Still launching missiles. No big deal.

//The Wire//2300Z May 7, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: INDIA/PAKISTAN SPAT REMAINS SHORT OF FULL-BLOWN WAR, SITUATION TENOUS REGARDLESS. USS TRUMAN LOSES ANOTHER AIRCRAFT OVERBOARD. STRATEGIC BUILDUP AT DIEGO GARCIA CONTINUES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-India/Pakistan: Though an all-out war has not yet begun, tensions remain high following yesterday's missile strikes. Examination of various debris fields does confirm that several Indian aircraft were shot down, including what looks to be the first combat loss of a Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft. However the total number of platforms lost overnight remains unclear.AC: For the moment, Pakistan has not conducted their counterattack yet, all of last-night's activities were knee-jerk defensive moves and not a deliberately planned counteroffensive.Red Sea/HOA: Yesterday President Trump announced a cessation of hostilities against the Houthi government due to the Houthis ceasing their targeting of commercial shipping. A few hours after this announcement, a Houthi spokesman stated that this is not true, and that the war is still on as before.In the Red Sea, the USS HARRY S TRUMAN suffered another aviation mishap, which involved the loss of another F/A-18 due to a failure of arresting gear during flight operations. Due to this failure, the pilot and weapons officer both ejected from the aircraft as it fell off of the flight deck. AC: Despite the PR disaster of losing two aircraft to mishaps within 7 days, these types of events happen fairly often. Arresting cables snap all the time, and sometimes there isn't enough airspeed left to successfully abort the landing and take off again. Aviation operations onboard an aircraft carrier are a risky business, and the increase in mishaps is often directly related to an increase in optempo. Regardless, the loss of a total of three aircraft, which are bombing a country that does not have any air force whatsoever, is not entirely a good look.Indian Ocean: The strategic buildup of bomber aircraft continues as 2x B-52 Stratofortress aircraft have forward deployed to Diego Garcia to supplement the 6x B2 Spirit stealth bombers already on the island. Two more B-52's have been observed by plane watchers heading toward the island as well, which would bring the total of B-52's to 4x.AC: The continual forward deployment of strategic resources to this island continues to present indications and warnings of a major military campaign. Additionally, this deployment highlights discrepancies with the rhetoric involving war with Iran.Russia: This afternoon Moscow's airspace was closed due to a mass Ukrainian drone attack. This was the first much anticipated drone attack that was expected to take place during Russia's celebration of Victory Day (and the festivities and parades taking place around May 9th). Russia's MoD states that 524x Ukrainian drones have been shot down over the past 24 hours. AC: These numbers obviously can't be independently confirmed, but it sounds about right. Ukraine, having shown obviously no interest in participating in a ceasefire, is heavily invested in doubling down to make a show during Victory Day events and parades. This is not only because a lot of functional military hardware is already staged in Moscow, but also because a lot of foreign dignitaries are visiting. China's Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow this morning, and his presence alone raises the stakes of the war on both sides. Over the next 24-48 hours, Russia will be very concerned with defending the airspace of her capital city...and Ukraine will be very motivated to target it. -HomeFront-U.S.A. - Around the nation the REAL ID Act went into effect today. This means that only certain types of identification documents will be accepted by TSA for travel by air.AC: If you are planning any aviation travel this wee

Zwischen Krieg und Diplomatie. Eine geopolitische Bestandsaufnahme.Ein Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.In den letzten zwei Monaten verzeichnete die Region dramatische Entwicklungen, dominiert von diplomatischen Wendepunkten, militärischen Drohkulissen und einem potenziellen historischen Abkommen zwischen den USA und dem Iran. Diese Entwicklungen beeinflussen nicht nur die regionale Machtbalance, sondern haben auch globale Auswirkungen. Insgesamt bleibt der Nahe und Mittlere Osten weiterhin ein Pulverfass, wenn es auch in Bezug auf den Iran Lichtblicke gibt.Atomverhandlungen: Hoffnung auf EinigungZentrales Element der aktuellen Dynamik sind die indirekten Atomverhandlungen zwischen den USA und dem Iran, die in Maskat und Rom stattfanden. Die erste Gesprächsrunde am 12. April 2025 in Oman markierte den Beginn eines vorsichtig optimistischen Dialogs. In dieser Phase sprachen beide Seiten von einem „konstruktiven Austausch“. Der iranische Außenminister Abbas Araghchi und Trumps Sondergesandter Steve Witkoff kommunizierten über Vermittler, wobei die Atmosphäre laut Araghchi „ruhig und respektvoll“ war.In der zweiten Gesprächsrunde am 19.- 20. April in Rom wurde eine entscheidende Weiche gestellt: Eine Expertengruppe wurde eingerichtet, um technische Details zur friedlichen Nutzung der iranischen Nukleartechnologie unter Aufsicht der IAEA auszuarbeiten. Die Amerikaner verzichteten auf ihre ursprüngliche Forderung nach kompletter Aufgabe der Urananreicherung, was der iranischen Delegation entgegenkam.Trump, der durch innenpolitischen Druck zu einem außenpolitischen Erfolg drängt, zeigte sich ungewohnt versöhnlich:„Ich will verhindern, dass Iran eine Atombombe hat. Aber ich wünsche mir, dass Iran großartig, wohlhabend und sicher ist.“Solche Aussagen stehen im Kontrast zur früheren aggressiven Rhetorik und zeugen von einer möglichen realpolitischen Wende.Gleichzeitig warnt der Iran: Sollte seine zivile Infrastruktur durch die USA oder Israel angegriffen werden, sehe man sich gezwungen, doch noch Atomwaffen zu entwickeln – ein symbolisches Schachspiel mit hochriskanten Zügen.Mediale und wirtschaftliche SignaleAuch internationale Medien wie CNN, Reuters und The New York Times zeigten sich nach den iranisch-amerikanischen Gesprächen in Rom optimistisch. Analysten betonten die Bedeutung des Dialogs für die Stabilität der Energiepreise. Die Märkte reagierten prompt: Der Ölpreis fiel nach Bekanntwerden der diplomatischen Fortschritte, was das Vertrauen in eine bevorstehende Deeskalation stärkte.Militärische Drohgebärden und strategische AufrüstungTrotz diplomatischer Fortschritte wurde das Umfeld durch massive militärische Aufrüstung getrübt. Die USA verlegten strategische B-2-Bomber nach Diego Garcia und stationierten Flugzeugträger in der Region. Der Iran reagierte mit der Enthüllung seiner „Raketenstädte“ sowie dem Einsatz seines neuen „Sepehr“-Radarsystems, das als Über-den Horizont-Radar bis zu 2000 km weit reicht – inklusive Israels Territorium vollkommen abdeckt.Diese technologischen Fortschritte unterstreichen Irans Fähigkeit zur Abschreckung. Zugleich erkennen US-Geheimdienste an, dass ein Angriff auf den Iran nicht nur militärisch riskant, sondern auch politisch kontraproduktiv wäre, da er einen regionalen Flächenbrand auslösen könnte...hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/krisenregion-naher-osten-von-rainer-rupp/ Hosted on Acast.

As the U.S. and Iran engage in their first direct nuclear negotiations since the Obama administration, tensions in the Middle East are escalating. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano analyzes the implications of these high-stakes talks held in Muscat, Oman, and the potential for a U.S. military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. With Iran's uranium enrichment nearing weapons-grade levels and the deployment of U.S. B-2 bombers to Diego Garcia, the situation is precarious. Professor Giordano explores the broader geopolitical ramifications, including possible actions by China, Russia, and Venezuela, and the risk of a global conflict. Episode Highlights: U.S.-Iran Nuclear Talks: Insights into the recent negotiations in Oman and the challenges ahead . Military Posturing: Examination of the U.S. military buildup, including the deployment of B-2 bombers, and its strategic implications . Global Flashpoints: Analysis of how a conflict with Iran could trigger broader geopolitical tensions involving major powers.  

Send us a textToday's Ones Ready Daily Drop is basically a masterclass in budget cuts, broken jets, bureaucratic gridlock, and spicy Space Force drama—with a splash of congressional nonsense and some suspicious real estate investments for good measure. Jared breaks it all down like a tactical briefing crossed with a roast.We've got $15 billion drone programs under review, a B-2 flying over Iran “just to say hi,” and service members getting offered their jobs back after being kicked out over a vaccine—because yeah, that's how leadership works now. Oh, and Space Force might finally get to move to Huntsville, so go buy some land before another general does.From Air Force “Frankenjets” stitched together in a garage like military Frankenstein, to “mil-spec” gear that barely meets minimum standards, to ISR flights over the U.S.-Mexico border triggering cartel drone wars—this drop is full of “wait, what?” energy.

Six B-2 stealth bombers, capable of carrying bunker busting weapons, have been deployed to Diego Garcia, a remote base in the Indian Ocean that's well within striking distance of Iran. At the same time, while missile defense systems have been repositioned to guard against Iranian retaliation, the US Navy has extended the deployment of the Harry Truman carrier strike group and has sent in the USS Carl Vinson, adding serious firepower to the region.So, to many Israelis, it came as a surprise when President Trump, with Mr. Netanyahu sitting beside him, announced on Monday that the United States would engage in “direct” negotiations with Iran on Saturday, in a last-ditch effort to rein in the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. So we're looking at a very volatile situation, with military might being deployed on the one hand, and a diplomacy track underway on the other. How are Israeli decision-makers assessing the situation?With us today is Call me Back regular Nadav Eyal, senior analyst for Yediot Achronot, to help us unpack how we got here, and what Israelis expect to happen next.  CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorYARDENA SCHWARTZ - Executive Editor, Ark MediaGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Talks are set to begin on April 12th in Oman between the United States and Iran about Iran's nuclear program. The announcement was made as Benjamin Netanyahu left the White House after his second visit to DC in as many months. In a short video posted after the meeting in Hebrew with English subtitles, Netanyahu praised Donald Trump and said, “We agree that Iran will not have nuclear weapons,” adding that any such agreement coming out of these meetings would need to be “Libyan style” - where Iran destroys its nuclear program and submits to a foreign verification regime run by the United States.The announcement of talks comes after diplomatic letters were exchanged between Trump and Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the US sent multiple B-2 bombers to the Diego Garcia base located in the Indian Ocean, within clear striking distance of Iran.What do Netanyahu and Trump seek to get out of these talks? We get into how their approaches may differ, but they have the same goal. And then, we discuss mass protests that happened over the weekend in DC and across the country.Support the show

//The Wire//2300Z April 7, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: GLOBAL MARKET TURMOIL RESULTS FROM TARIFF SHAKEUP. FORCE BUILDUP IN MIDDLE EAST CONTINUES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Global: On the economic front, hallmarks of a global market correction began to be observed this morning. Last night the Japanese stock market crashed, with circuit breakers being tripped for futures trading (Nikkei 225). Taiwan and South Korea did not do much better as circuit breakers were also tripped for their respective futures products as well as products linked to Taiwan's semiconductor production giant TSMC.Following the exceptionally chaotic market fluctuations this morning, President Trump announced on social media that the United States will increase the tariffs on China by an additional 50% if China does not remove their additional tit-for-tat tariff implementations. AC: As the United States has already implemented a 20% tariff on China, plus an additional 34% tariff, an additional 50% tariff on top of these previous taxes means China is looking at a potential 104% tariff being implemented in two days (if the situation doesn't change).Middle East: The Charles de Gaulle Carrier Strike Group (CSG) was observed transiting north through the Suez Canal this morning, leaving the two American carriers the only one's in the CENTCOM AOR. Minor repositioning was observed at Diego Garcia as of this morning, with 6x B2's still on site with their respective refueling aircraft. Over the weekend, Israeli media claimed that the elusive THAAD battery that was originally in South Korea has been transferred to Israel.AC: If this is true (and it likely is), this brings the total in Israel to two of these missile defense systems.-HomeFront-New York: Over the weekend a mass stabbing was reported at an apartment building in Brooklyn. Local authorities state that a man had a mental episode which resulted in him attempting to murder four young family members. 4x children were wounded in the attack, and the attacker was neutralized by police during their response.Texas: A local measles outbreak has gained national attention following the death of a second child from the disease. HHS Secretary RFK Jr. visited Gaines County yesterday, and announced the deployment of CDC personnel to the area. RFK Jr. also stated on social media that "The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine".Washington D.C. - Over the weekend, FBI Director Kash Patel promoted the highly-controversial Steven Jensen to lead the Field Office in Washington D.C. Previously Jensen served as the chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Section within the Counterterrorism Division.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments:While many may have forgotten, Steven Jensen is a highly controversial pick for this position as he was one of the masterminds within the FBI to investigate parents speaking at school board meetings as terrorists under the command of AG Merrick Garland in 2021.As he was the Chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Section (also in 2021), Jensen was also the lead FBI decision maker behind the J6 investigations, and enthusiastically carried out the targeting of J6 participants on that day, and for many months afterwards. In short, Jensen is the man who provided the legwork for the J6 investigation, and he is one of the main persons responsible for why Trump himself had to pardon many J6 participants. Now, Jensen has been promoted into a very prestigious position at the FBI, leading the Field Office in Washington.Due to the highly controversial nature of this pick, this promotion was not advertised with much fanfare. However, Patel passively confirmed the move himself by reposting an article on social media referencing the personnel change.On the information and econo

//The Wire//2300Z April 2, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MULTIPLE AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CARRIERS DEPLOY TO MIDDLE EAST, STRATEGIC DEPLOYMENTS CONTINUE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East:  Significant Naval deployments are either underway currently, or have been recently announced. Yesterday afternoon CENTCOM announced several operational changes throughout the AOR. The USS HARRY S. TRUMAN (CVN-75) CSG's deployment has been extended, with the TRUMAN remaining in the Middle East theatre. The USS CARL VINSON (CVN-70) has also been transferred from INDOPACOM to the CENTCOM area of responsibility, and is currently making all sail for the Middle East. On Friday, the USS NIMITZ (CVN-68) departed San Diego on her final deployment before retirement, and will be heading to the western Pacific. This morning, the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CVN-72) departed port San Diego as well. Yesterday morning commercial satellite imagery confirmed that another B2 Spirit stealth bomber landed at Diego Garcia, bringing the total on the island to 6x bombers, plus their required refueling tankers.-HomeFront-California: Monday night a murder was reported at a Walgreens in Fresno. Local authorities state that Narciso Gallardo Fernandez entered the establishment late Monday night, and murdered one of the employees due to his grievances with large pharmaceutical companies. Fernandez was arrested at the scene, while attempting to reload his firearm in the parking lot.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The indications and warnings of an impending war in the Middle East continue to mount. The proverbial deployment of aircraft carriers before a major war appears to have arrived. In closed-source, confidential reporting, NBC has claimed that the Pentagon has authorized the deployment of one THAAD battery, and at least two Patriot batteries to augment missile defense throughout the Middle East. Though this cannot be independently confirmed yet, if this is true this would be yet another indication that wartime preparations continue, beyond what would normally be considered to be posturing or power-projection.Domestically, various political protests are scheduled for April 5th. The "HandsOff" protests originated from organized labor unions, however most far-left groups are also planning to use the day to conduct low-level attacks, such as vandalism against Tesla vehicles. Of course, the impact that these events will have is dictated mostly by funding; events involving labor unions will obviously be much larger than smaller and uncoordinated groups of malign actors seeking to break things. Nevertheless, increased vigilance is recommended, particularly in areas where Tesla vehicles and Trump supporters have been targeted so far.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Israeli officials say the U.S. is preparing for a military strike on Iran's nuclear sites by summer if Tehran refuses to dismantle its program and readmit inspectors. Seven B-2 bombers are now at Diego Garcia, capable of deploying bunker-buster bombs. Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, are refusing to allow U.S. forces to use their airspace for any attack. France warned that conflict is “almost inevitable” if diplomacy fails. Meanwhile, Iran's military has discussed preemptive strikes on U.S. bases, and Israel is escalating operations in Gaza, where UN reports accuse Israeli forces of executing paramedics.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

//The Wire//2300Z March 31, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: STRATEGIC BOMBER BUILDUP AT DEIGO GARCIA CONTINUES, USA-IRAN RHETORIC INCREASES. CHINA DELAYS BLACKROCK DEAL TO BUY PANAMA CANAL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Panama: The recently announced sale of Panama Canal Ports has been blocked by the Chinese government at the eleventh hour. As announced a few weeks ago, the majority of port facilities pertaining to the Panama Canal were scheduled to be sold to a consortium ultimately owned by Blackrock. This deal has been halted/delayed by China at the last minute.AC: The general theory behind this sale was for a critical maritime asset like the Panama Canal to be under American control as announced by the White House several weeks ago. After this initial interest was expressed, the deal became not necessarily American government control over the Canal, but rather for an American company to own these port facilities. Ultimately, the Chinese government halting the deal complicates the situation somewhat, especially since the reasons for the allegedly-temporary halt are not entirely clear. In any case, this indicates that the White House is not out of the woods yet when it comes to developments in Panama.Middle East: American rhetoric regarding a potential war with Iran has continued to escalate, with President Trump stating that "if we don't make a deal, there will be bombing". This comes on the heels of contradictory statements by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, who stated on Thursday that the intelligence community "continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003". Regardless of this assessment, American war plans continue.Meanwhile, a major surge of American military logistical resources is underway throughout the region. Satellite imagery from this morning confirms the presence of at least 5x B2 Spirit bombers at the airfield on Diego Garcia, along with an assortment of the standard tanker aircraft.AC: At least two KC-135 Stratotankers were observed moving from Guam to Diego Garcia early last week, which is a rare logistical movement and indicative of efforts to pull resources from multiple Areas of Responsibility (AORs) to provide logistical support for whatever is planned. A handful of C-17 cargo planes also landed at Diego Garcia over the weekend, adding to the sharp increase in aviation traffic at the remote island over the past week. Substantially increased C-17 cargo flights into Al Udeid Airbase have continued over the past few days as well. An additional B2 Spirit (likely intended for deployment to the Indian Ocean with the others) was located in Honolulu, possibly due to maintenance reasons.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments:When a man threatens to bomb a foreign nation, and then begins staging large numbers of strategic bombers near that nation, one might be inclined to think that man is serious.At the risk of speculating too wildly, it's possible that the White House intends go to war with Iran in any case, regardless of any sort of agreement. This is a classic tactic in Middle East diplomacy...engage in peace talks then at the last second claim the other side violated some term of the agreement, and the war is on. Considering the extremely significant numbers of military logistics pouring into the region, this could be a possibility...offering the olive branch openly on one hand, to distract from readying the arrows with the other.Conversely, all of this could be a giant pile of nothing. This could be an undisclosed drill, or some kind of shell game with resources, or any other number of theories that point to some innocent shuffling of bombers. This could be more of a deterrent than a legitimate preparation for a large scale military campaign. However, if

It's Tuesday, April 1st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Myanmar earthquake death toll tops 2,000 The death count resulting from a major earthquake centered in Myanmar has topped 2,000, reports The Guardian.   The quake which registered 7.7 on the Richter scale, affected the areas of Mandalay and Sagaing.  (Look at a shake map of Myanmar that shows the areas most affected by the earthquake.) Rescue efforts in the area of Sagaing have been hampered by the nation's military, as that area has the reputation of resisting the junta since the coup of 2021.  The major Christianized areas of Myanmar include the Chin State in the northwest and the Karen State in the southeast.  The earthquake affected the center of the country. Help Samaritan's Purse pay for Myanmar field hospital Franklin Graham announced that the Samaritan's Purse DC-8 jet departed Greensboro, North Carolina just yesterday, heading for Myanmar with medical supplies and a fully-equipped field hospital, complete with doctors and nurses.   You can make a donation to this emergency medical response through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 1,000 dead in Gaza from recent Israeli attacks War is heating up in the Middle East.  Al Jazeera reports 80 deaths in Gaza in the past 24 hours, and 1,000 deaths since the ceasefire broke two weeks ago. On Sunday, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to intensify attacks on Hamas until Israeli hostages are released. U.S. deployed B-2 Bombers, two air craft carriers to Middle East The United States has deployed a quarter of its B-2 Bomber fleet to the Middle East, based on the island of Diego Garcia, just south of the nation of Iran.  Also, the two aircraft carriers, the U.S.S. Carl Vinson and the U.S.S. Harry S Truman, have been moved into the Persian Gulf area, for a more significant military buildup. Trump threatened military action if Iran doesn't stop nuclear program President Donald Trump has sent a letter to Iran demanding a settlement on the nation's nuclear program.  He threatened military action, but has received no response in two months.   Trump told NBC News that "If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before." Iran's skyrocketing inflation and severe water shortages Iran's internal pressures are rising as well. First, inflation remains at a staggering 40%. The Iranian rial, their currency, has lost significant value — crossing the 1,000,000 rial-to-dollar threshold recently. And second, because rainfall decreased by 25% last year, Iran's major dams are only at 6% capacity. The National Council of Resistance in Iran issued a recent report that summarizes the Iranian situation this way: “The sharp increase in water shortages, poverty, inflation, and systemic corruption has turned Iran into a powder keg, with officials scrambling to prevent an explosion that seems all but inevitable.”  Trump's tornado of tariffs This is the big tariff week for the Trump Administration.   What is called “reciprocal tariffs” are on schedule to take effect tomorrow, probably affecting India and Brazil most heavily - due to their tariff imbalances.   In addition to the reciprocal tariffs, auto import duties of 25% will kick in on Thursday — mostly affecting Mexico with $20 billion in tariffs, Japan with $10 billion in tariffs, South Korea with $9 billion in tariffs, Canada with $8 billion in tariffs, and Germany with $6 billion. Plus, about half of the cars sold in the U.S. will be subjected to the 25% tariff. Let's keep in mind these general principles from the Proverbs. “Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; though they join forces, none will go unpunished. … When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” That's Proverbs 16:5 and 7.  Governor DeSantis wants to eliminate Florida's property tax Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis indicated on X that he would support an initiative to eliminate property tax in his state. He noted that “taxing land/property is the more oppressive and ineffective form of taxation.” Both Pennsylvania and Florida are considering the elimination of this onerous taxing of the American people. States with the lowest property tax are Louisiana, Hawaii, Alabama, Delaware, and West Virginia.  The states with the highest property tax rates are New Jersey, New Hampshire, Texas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Declining Catholic population Catholics are losing ground – fast -- in America. In 1980, Catholics represented 29% of the U.S. population.  In 2024, Pew Research's recent survey found only 19% of Americans self-identified as Catholics. That's a 24% decline in 17 years. For every 10 people joining the Catholic Church, 84 are leaving. Mainline liberal Protestants have seen bigger drop By contrast, Protestants have declined by 19% over the last 17 years. Evangelicals have dropped from 26% to 23% of the population. That's only a 12% drop. Not surprisingly, mainline liberal Protestant denominations have seen a 39% drop in 17 years. 50% of parents support adult children Savings.com reports that half of U.S. parents support their adult children at an average of $1,474 per month. Interestingly, 40% of those same parents say they plan to cut off funds to their freeloading adult children within two years. Gold up, stocks down Gold continues on its upward surge, topping $3,120 per ounce on Monday. Meanwhile, stocks dipped again. The Nasdaq Composite scraping 17,000, about 3,000 points off of a February 19th high, reports the Associated Press. Disney's woke Snow White bombing at box office And finally, Disney is still losing big money on its woke projects. The new release of Snow White featured advocacy of girl power and socialism, not to mention computer-generated dwarves. Not surprisingly, it saw a 66% drop off from the first to the second week, marking this film in the “weak performer” category.   The $270 million film pulled in just $67 million at the box office over two weekends. Let's remember the lesson from 1 Samuel 12:25. It says, “If you do not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you.” And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, April 1st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Here's a quick look at some of the stories that were covered by Dalton on this week's edition of the "Round-Up":--Earlier today a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Thailand and neighboring Myanmar.--In a stark warning to lawmakers, General Anthony J. Cotton, Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Strategic Forces and revealed that Iran has significantly advanced their nuclear capabilities. --President Trump's recent letter to Iran's supreme leader included a 2-month deadline for reaching a new nuclear deal.--The U.S. has extended the U.S.S. Harry S. Truman's Red Sea deployment, dispatching another carrier to the Middle East and deploying five B-2 stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, signaling that military strikes on Iran may be imminent as Trump's ultimatum to Iran over its nuclear program is looming.--Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps revealed one of its underground "missile cities" to Iranian media outlets Wednesday, as tensions with the West boiled over its nuclear program.--The Justice Department announced on Thursday that it has disrupted a scheme to finance Hamas. --Anti-Hamas protests are breaking out across Gaza.--The Palestinian Authority made another round of pay-for-slay payments to the families of terrorists on Tuesday.--President Donald Trump's administration has given an ultimatum to Egypt, warning that the nation faces losing billions of dollars in U.S. aid if the government refuses to take in refugees from Gaza.--U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth condemned the Atlantic editor for leaking attacks against the Houthis.

Ghost returns for a packed episode of Geopolitics and dives deep into the tangled mess of global conflict, diplomacy, and deception. He breaks down Ukraine's violations of the U.S.-brokered Black Sea ceasefire, the international fallout from attacks on Russian infrastructure, and the shifting dynamics between Trump, Putin, and a flailing Europe. The show then pivots to Israel, where Netanyahu's push to overhaul the judiciary has Ghost warning of civil war, fueled by rising Christian persecution and a Supreme Court stacking scheme. Meanwhile, Trump's peace push in Gaza, Qatar's role as would-be global mediator, and a new ceasefire proposal with Hamas reveal the high-stakes game for Middle East stability. Throw in Trump Towers in Saudi, B2 bombers in Diego Garcia, and Iran nuclear deal tension, and you've got one hell of a geopolitical ride.

2:30 Green Scam Implodes: Climate Startups Swap CO2 Lies for Fighter Jets and Depopulation Bombs      Climate startups once preaching “save the planet” are now churning out jet fighters and AI war machines—guzzling fossil fuels and spewing bombs like there's no tomorrow!

This is the full show for March 26, 2025. We ask the American Mamas if young wommen should get married and have kids or stay single and focus on their careers. We Dig Deep into why the US is sending B-2 stitch bombers to Diego Garcia. Plus, Glen Youngkin vetoed a bill that was meat to keep people from praying outside abortion clinics, and that's a Bright Spot. 

//The Wire//2300Z March 26, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: STRATEGIC AMERICAN BOMBERS STAGE AT DIEGO GARCIA. FALLOUT FROM GROUP CHAT SCANDAL CONTINUES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Indian Ocean: Aviation watchers have noted a significant buildup of military aircraft at Diego Garcia. Several B2 bombers have forward deployed to the infamous island, along with almost a dozen KC-135R Stratotankers and other transport aircraft.AC: This morning, a Notice-to-Airmen (NOTAM) was issued for Diego Garcia announcing ramp parking spot closures for the runway, indicating preparations to stage large numbers of military aircraft. This NOTAM is active until May 1, 2025.Lithuania: Four American service members were found deceased after a training accident this morning. Initial reporting indicates that an M88 recovery vehicle drove/overturned into a lake during a routine training exercise. The soldiers were assigned to 1st Brigade, 3ID.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Fallout from the Atlantic scandal continues in a variety of means. Various liberal politicians have called for various resignations due to this scandal, while conservatives have stated that no resignations will occur. As the initial release of screenshots did not achieve the desired effect, The Atlantic released more screenshots of group chat messages. AC: This morning, the activist group American Oversight filed a lawsuit against SECDEF Hegseth for the leak, and the judge assigned to this case has been announced as D.C. District Court Judge James Boasberg, the same judge who is currently at the center of hot controversy for out-of-jurisdiction rulings.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The events at Diego Garcia are a major indication and warning of an impending large-scale military conflict. Since these aircraft were not entirely covert in their movements, various intelligence services around the world know that this logistical staging is underway. What it's for, is anyone's guess. This could be for an escalation of the conflict in Yemen, or it could be staging for a large scale war with Iran. The use of Diego Garcia as a staging zone implies that the traditional staging sites (Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, etc) probably do not want to be diplomatically involved in what is about to take place. The remote location of Diego Garcia (which is also not located in an Islamic nation) provides the added benefit of being out of range of most of Iran's weapons, and thus a vastly more secure site for the staging of strategic bombers. In short, if the United States were to seek a war with Iran, this is exactly the type of forward-deployment that would take place.Of course, despite the very clear and obvious military staging, a single phone call can result in all of these aircraft heading home without firing a shot. From the voyage of the Great White Fleet, to flying B-52's low and slow over various countries over the years, American history is full of examples of American power projection via the movement of very big weapons.However, using the information we have at the moment, the forward-deployment of national-level strategic assets indicates staging for a military campaign.Regarding the group chat scandal, now that we have a closer look at more screenshots provided by The Atlantic, a lot more information of questionable classification level has come to light. Even though the newly-posted screenshots are not the smoking-gun The Atlantic claims, if this information was not a deliberate plant, it would indeed have been a serious violation of Operational Security (OPSEC). Really the only communication that was a serious breach of OPSEC came from the SECDEF, who announced that the targeting missions against the Houthis in Yemen were a "GO", and detailed the number of strikes and estimated Time-on-Target. However, when determining the classification l

Queer Muslims and Their Allies Amid Indonesia's conservative turn, the moral panics of the 2010s and the introduction of the draconian Criminal Code in 2022, LGBTQI+ people are as vulnerable as at any time in the country's modern history. In a nation with the world's largest Muslim population and where religion plays a central role in defining belonging and nationalism, the identities of queer Indonesian Muslims provide valuable insight into how these subjectivities are negotiated in everyday life. How do queer Muslims maintain their faith and religious practices in an increasingly hostile environment? While in the West religion and queerness are often seen as incompatible, how and why do LGBTQI+ Indonesian Muslims hold onto their faith? How does progressive Islam inform the work of their Allies and what support do they provide? In this week's episode Jemma chats with Dr Diego Garcia Rodriguez, a Leverhulme-funded Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham. His book, 'Gender, Sexuality and Islam in Contemporary Indonesia: Queer Muslims and Their Allies' (Routledge), was published in English in 2024 and will be published in Indonesian by Marjin Kiri in 2025. In 2025, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Jemma Purdey from the Australia-Indonesia Centre, Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University, Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales and Tito Ambyo from RMIT.

US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer are considering a handover of Chagos Islands to Mauritius. In Episode 1615 of #CutTheClutter, ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at the significance of Diego Garcia in the Chagos archipelago, evolving India-US relations since the Cold War, and the future of geopolitics. ----more----Read IISS article here: https://www.iiss.org/publications/strategic-comments/2024/10/the-change-in-sovereignty-for-the-chagos-archipelago/----more----Read lowyinstitute's article here: https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/strategic-consequence-chagos-islands-legal-dispute----more----Read Carnegi article here: https://carnegieendowment.org/research/2023/06/mapping-the-indian-ocean-region?lang=en¢er=russia-eurasia

The Chagos Islands have dominated news headlines over the past few months, but the struggle of the Chagossian people to reclaim their island home has spanned centuries. First colonised in 1513 by the Portuguese, the archipelago shifted from one imperial master to another over the course of the next three hundred years, until the British took control in the 19th century and changed the course of Chagossian history forever... In the 20th century the US realised the strategic importance of the Chagos archipelago, sitting equidistant between Asia and Africa. As the island of Diego Garcia became home to one of the largest US military bases in the world, the Chagossian people were forcibly evicted from their lands and displaced across the world, left to fend for themselves in unknown lands. Listen as Anita and William are joined by Philippe Sands, barrister, writer and academic, who has been leading the repatriation case against the British government on behalf of the Chagos Islands and the Mauritian state.

Ashton Forbes became interested in a leaked video purporting to show missing Malaysian Airlines MH370 being portalled to another location via three rotating plasma orbs during its disappearance on March 8, 2014. He has accumulated evidence that the craft was taken en route from Malaysia to China carrying 20 scientists who had developed a superconducting microchip that was going to be patented or developed in China. Forbes claims that early conspiracy theories by the comedian Dick Gregory and others pointing to the Carlyle Group, the Rothschilds, and/or Blackstone wanting to kill the scientists so they could assert ownership of the superconducting microchip patent were misplaced. Forbes claims that the MH-370 operation was conducted by the US intelligence community that wanted to stop China gaining control of the superconducting microchip technology, which represented a breakthrough technology. Forbes discusses how MH370 was portalled to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean after disappearing en route to China. Dr. Michael Salla introduced the corroborating testimony of a secret space program participant, Mark Domizio, who claims that one of his alters, a cloned version of himself based at a DUMB facility at Diego Garcia, was tasked to kill a crew that disassembled MH-370's tail and wing sections. Forbes next discusses the controversy raised by Kim Dotcom, who offered a $100,000 bounty to anyone who could prove the leaked MH370 video was a hoax. When a still photographer, Jonas De Ro, released images he had taken from an airplane of clouds allegedly used in the leaked video, Dotcom claimed that proof now existed that the video had been debunked and offered to pay the bounty. Forbes initially thought the video had been debunked and made a tweet to that effect, but later learned that Jonas' released cloud formation images did not predate the leaked MH370 video. Forbes also discusses a mysterious letter he received from a covert intelligence operative who encouraged him to continue his efforts and that it was indeed the US intelligence community that was behind the disappearance of MH370. Finally, Forbes discussed plasma balls, cold fusion, gravity waves, and other advanced technology projects, many of which he believes are still too dangerous to be released to the world.
