Broadcasting live from the Shenandoah Valley, Ghost unpacks a wild week of global developments, from Alaska to Africa, in a fast-paced, signal-heavy episode of Geopolitics with Ghost. He kicks off with Kirill Dmitriev's viral posts about the proposed “Putin–Trump Tunnel” under the Bering Strait, linking Russia and America through Elon Musk's Boring Company. Ghost connects the project to JFK's “World Peace Bridge” vision, Trump's phone call with Putin, and the quiet alignment between Moscow and Washington that's already reshaping the global order. From there, he covers Hungary's nuclear partnership with the U.S., Trump's rare earth deal with Australia, and how Africa is becoming the new frontier of sovereignty, with Ethiopia, Nigeria, and the DRC leading the charge through nuclear development and anti-globalist movements. The show closes with deep dives into Lavrov's peace negotiations, Mike Tyson's symbolic visit to Congo, and Trump's fiery warning to Colombia's president over cartel ties. Sharp, funny, and fearless, this episode captures Ghost at his analytical best, decoding the clues, connecting the dots, and revealing how the world's new alliances are forming right before our eyes.

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. The history of racism in our country has evolved into narratives that have been created out of thin air in order to justify hatred that inherently dwells in our hearts. What does the response to racism, hatred, evil look like in the children of God outside of the US? This is the story of Rose Mapendo, a survivor of the Rwandan/DRC genocide and a sister in Christ. Her story is gut-wrenching yet her faith is encouraging and convicting. Trapped in prison camp awaiting execution, the Lord did for her what He does for all of His children - he strengthened her with a peace that will surpass your very understanding of peace. It will also confound your understanding of forgiveness in a way that could truly bring healing, peace and revival to our country amidst the cold war of race-rhetoric and "injustice" claims. Listen closely to the raw, uncut story of a woman who depended on the Lord and was granted a strength that only He could provide.

The president of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has called for peace with neighboring Rwanda as tensions rise in eastern DRC. Kigali rejected the offer — raising fears of escalating conflict and failed diplomacy in the region.
The complexity of Social Security calculations can cause some confusion around when someone eligible should file and claim their benefit. There are a lot of variables to consider and acronyms to decipher that can make Social Security feel like a confusing hedge maze. Let's cut through some of the noise and clarify some of the most pressing questions around Social Security benefits and what questions you need to consider to determine what's best for you and your family. Social Security has many layers, and the concept of eligibility can be pretty complex. It's not always clear when and how someone should begin taking their benefits because being eligible doesn't necessarily mean you should turn that benefit on. Social Security benefits can be turned on as early as age 62. Each year the benefit is delayed, you receive what is called a delayed retirement credit or DRC. These DRCs guarantee an automatic 8% increase in your Social Security benefit every year you delay up to age 70. There is also your full retirement age. This is the age when you are eligible to receive the full benefit without any offset for having earned income. Earned income being income from employment, which is different from income received from investments, pensions or annuities. For those born in 1960, or later, your FRA is age 67. Benefits are calculated by the Social Security Administration by taking 35 years of earnings that are indexed for inflation. Any years you didn't work are counted as a zero in your average earnings calculation. These annual amounts are then totaled and divided by four and 20 months to arrive at the monthly figure known as your average indexed monthly earning. This number is different from your benefit amount. The SSA then applies a formula to that number which determines your primary insurance amount or PIA and this is your monthly Social Security benefit. If you choose to take your benefit before your FRA while employed, there's an offset that can significantly reduce the benefit if your income exceeds $21,240 in 2023. This reduction is $1 for every $2 of earned income over the limit. In the year you reach your FRA, the limit increases to $56,520 in 2023, with a benefit reduction of $1 for every $3 of earned income over the limit. After you've reached your FRA there's no earning limits and you receive the full benefit with no income offsets. Provisional income comes into play after your benefits are activated. Your provisional income is calculated by taking your adjusted gross income plus half of your Social Security benefit. If that total is less than $25,000, your Social Security benefit is not subject to federal tax. If it is above 25,000, but below 34,000, 50% of the benefit is taxed, and if it's above 34,000, 85% of the benefit is taxed. If you're a government employee, there's something called a Windfall Elimination Provision, or WEP. And there's also a Government Pension Offset, or GPO. There are three common conversations we have with clients when it comes to Social Security. The first thing is determining the breakeven point. One method for deciding when to take Social Security benefits involves calculating the breakeven point, this is the future point in time when the value of one option equals that of another. For example, if your FRA benefit is $2,000 a month, and $1,400 at age 62, there's a $600 a month difference. When compared to waiting the five years and taking the full amount, the breakeven point would be 11.6 years. Something else to keep in mind is that by taking a benefit early, you reduce the amount of spousal benefit made available since the benefit in and of itself has been reduced and this could be an important consideration. The second consideration relates to one's health and longevity. If you don't expect to live past that breakeven point, taking the benefit early might make more sense. From this perspective, it could be a win-win situation if they start receiving benefits early and they live longer than expected because the payments continue. We can't know our lifespan for certain, but if you're in poor health, taking benefits early might be a reasonable option. The third consideration involves a person's retirement income requirement. Many clients we work with see Social Security simply as a piece of the retirement income strategy, and aren't necessarily concerned with breakeven points as much as they are with maximizing their assets and the resources. Many clients opt to turn their Social Security benefits on instead of tapping into their assets in order to maintain growth. Using assets to generate income in retirement also comes with variables that are hard to predict, like the conditions of the stock market and economic policy. Social Security, in comparison, is stable and easy to predict. Figuring out your retirement income requires careful planning, which is why it's crucial to work with a professional that understands Social Security and its role in your retirement plan.

This week on the podcast, I'm joined by someone whose career defies convention and whose work has touched lives across war zones, hospital wards and the written page. Dr Rachel Clarke began as a broadcast journalist, reporting from some of the world's most dangerous places — covering Al Qaeda, the Gulf War and the civil war in the DRC. Then, at 29, she retrained as a doctor, specialising in palliative care, where she now helps patients live their final days with dignity and as much comfort as possible. Her bestselling books; ‘Your Life in My Hands', ‘Dear Life', ‘Breathtaking' & ‘The Story of A Heart' have become essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the human side of healthcare. ‘Breathtaking', her searing account of the COVID-19 frontline, was adapted into a critically acclaimed ITV drama in 2024, co-written by Rachel herself alongside Jed Mercurio and Prasanna Puwanarajah. Rachel's also a fierce NHS advocate and a public voice for compassion in medicine. I'm in awe of every guest I speak to, but Rachel's story is one of extraordinary reinvention, resilience and radical empathy. In this podcast we explore how Rachel's managed to excel in journalism, medicine, activism, storytelling and what drives her to keep speaking truth to power.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayomulika ujumbe wa Katibu Mkuu wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki EAC, Veronica Nduva ambaye alizungumza na Flora Nducha kandoni mwa UNGA80. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari kama zifuatazo.Ikiwa ni zaidi ya miaka minane tangu zaidi ya wakimbizi 750,000 waislamu wa kabila la warohingya wakimbie Myanmar kuelekea kwenye kambi kubwa nchini Bangladesh, mgogoro huo bado haujapatiwa suluhisho na leo hapa makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa viongozi wamekutana kusaka suluhu ya kudumu kwa warohingya na makabila mengine madogo nchini Myanmar. Katibu Mkuu Antonio Guterres kupitia Afisa Mtawala Mkuu wa UN Courtenay Rattray amesema, “mgogoro huu, ambao umezidi kuongezeka tangu mapinduzi ya kijeshi Myanmar ya mwaka 2021, unasigina haki za binadamu, utu na usalama wa mamilioni ya watu na unatishia uthabiti wa kikanda. Haitoshi tu kutathmini hali ilivyo. Tunapaswa pia kuendeleza mshikamano na kubuni suluhisho.”Amani nchini DRC imesalia bado ahadi, ni kauli ya Bintou Keita, Mwakilishi Maalum wa Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC aliyotoa wakati akihutubia Baraza la Usalama lililokutana leo kujadili hali Mashariki mwa DRC. Anasema hali inazidi kuwa tete. “Ghasia zinaendelea kushamiri jimboni Kivu Kaskazini hususan eneo la Rutshuru tangu waasi wa M23 watwae eneo hilo. Kuanzia mwezi Juni na kuendelea ujumbe wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa kulinda amani, MONUSCO umepokea maombi lukuki ya watu wakitaka ulinzi kwenye maeneo yanayodhibitiwa na M23.”.Na mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa leo yamesisitiza wito wa kupatikana kwa sitisho la mapigano huko Gaza, eneo la Palestina linalokaliwa kimabavu na Israel, ili kupunguza machungu wakati huu ambapo Mpango wa Marekani wa Vipengele 20 unaibua matumaini ya kukomeshwa kwa mapigano. Ricardo Pires, msemaji wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia watoto, UNICEF amesema, “ni muhimu tupate sitisho la mapigano na misaada iweze sio tu kuingia na kuepusha baa la njaa, bali pia kuelekezwa maeneo ya kusini. Lakini vile vile kuhakikisha watoto na familia zao wanapata malazi bora wakati huu majira ya baridi kali yanakaribia. La sivyo italeta zahma ya afya kwa watoto na familia zao.”.Mwenyeji wako ni Leah Mushi, karibu!

Katika suti yake, kifuani upande wa kulia, Bwana Netanyahu pia ameweka kibandiko chenye QR Code na akawaambia watu kuwa Israel bado inakumbuka tukio walilofanyiwa na Hamas mwezi Oktoba mwaka juzi na kwamba ikiwa watu wamesahau hilo basi waelekeze simu zao kwenye QR Code hiyo kwenye nguo yake ili iwaoneshe madhara yaliyofanywa na Hamas.Majina ya mateka yakasomwaWaziri Mkuu huyo wa Israel ameyasoma majina ya mateka ambao bado wako mikononi mwa Hamas katika eneo la Ukanda wa Gaza na pia akaueleza mkutano kuwa amesambaza vipaza sauti au spika katika eneo lote la Gaza ili anapoongea leo, azungumze moja kwa moja na mateka huko walikofichwa. Na hapo akabadilisha lugha na kuongea kwa kihebrania akiwaahidi kuwa atawakomboa. Vilevile amedokeza kuwa kwa namna ya kiintelijensia Israel imefanya simu leo ziweze kusambaza hotuba katika ukanda wa Gaza na hivyo akautumia muda huo kupeleka ujumbe mkali kwa Hamas kuwa ataendelea kuwadhibiti. Bwana Netanyahu pia ameingia ukumbini na vibao viwili vyenye maswali na majibu ya kuchagua japokuwa jibu sahihi kwa mujibu wake na waliojibu kuwa ni All the Above, yaani majibu yote ni sahihi. Maswali yote yalikuwa yakiwatuhumu Iran, Hamas, Al Caeda, Hezbollah na Houthi kuwa pia wanaitakia kifo Marekani na wameua watu wengi Ulaya. Huenda hotuba hii ya Netanyahu ikaingia katika orodha ya hotuba tano ndefu zaidi baada ya ile ya Rais wa Marekani Donald Trump wa Marekani, Ya Mahmoud Abbass wa Palestina na Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi wa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC ambao wote hao walitumia zaidi ya dakika arobaini licha ya muda wa hotuba uliopangwa kuwa angalau dakika 15.
Lionel dismisses the idea of an "unprovoked invasion" as false, arguing the conflict is the culmination of years of Western arrogance, broken promises, and NATO expansion. The program holds Washington's "permanent foreign policy elite" accountable. The discussion features experts asserting Russia's action was driven by perceived survival, not conquest, emphasizing Russia views Ukraine as kinfolk. The show highlights how failed peace attempts (like the March 2022 framework) only ensured "record profits" for the military-industrial complex. The show fiercely critiques the mainstream media for fostering public geopolitical ignorance by distracting with "low-hanging fruit" like Jimmy Kimmel stories and Kamala Harris's "verbal incontinence". It exposes severe systemic crises ignored because they offer "no profit" for arms manufacturers, including global sexual slavery and trafficking (citing the horrors in the DRC).Lionel highlights the decay of US infrastructure while billions are funneled abroad, examines the massive power demands of the $500 billion Stargate AI initiative, and debates controversies like Trump linking Tylenol to autism. Lionel dives into complex hypotheticals on race, prejudice, and preference and offers detailed analysis on the legal intricacies of self-defense and the Castle Doctrine. Lionel also calls for transparency regarding unexplained events, such as the Charlie Kirk autopsy, and condemns fear-based public actions like the push for universal mask mandates.

Lyse Doucet tells the history of Afghanistan in recent decades through the story of the Inter-Continental hotel, which opened in the capital in 1969. The BBC's international correspondent stayed there frequently from the late 1980s, and she details how the Soviet occupation, civil war, US invasion and the rise, fall and rise of the Taliban have all left their mark on 'The Finest Hotel in Kabul', and the people who worked there.There's plenty of pink champagne and fine dining in Michela Wrong's study of the rise and fall of Mobutu Sese Seko, the charismatic dictator of Congo/ Zaire at the end of the 20th century. It's 25 years since her biography, 'In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz', was published, and as the Democratic Republic of Congo appears to be on the brink of another civil war, she reflects on this latest cycle of violence.There have been calls for international help in the DRC, but just how effective is military intervention in the long run? Ashleigh Percival-Borley served in Afghanistan in 2010 but had to watch from the sidelines as the US and UK abruptly pulled out a decade later, leaving a vacuum filled by the Taliban. Now, as a military historian and one of BBC Radio 4's researchers-in-residence, she's interested in giving voice to women in war – not just as the victims, but as active participants. The New Generation Thinkers scheme, which puts research on radio, is a partnership between BBC Radio 4 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

China is steadily expanding its security presence in Africa through deeper military ties, weapons sales, and multinational deployments as UN Peacekeepers. In fact, China is now the largest arms supplier to Sub-Saharan Africa, according to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. There are also mounting concerns over the protection of Chinese personnel on the continent who have been regular targets of kidnapping and ransom by bandits in the DRC, Nigeria, and South Africa, among other countries. Lungani Hlongwa, editor of the China-Africa Security Radar on Substack, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss why African militaries are increasingly turning to China and away from traditional partners in the U.S. and Europe.

Africa gets a world beating amount of sunshine — but has just 1% of the world's solar panels. Over half the continent still lives without electricity, stalling progress and holding back people's lives. But change may be coming — thanks to a surge in solar imports from China. New data from energy think tank EMBER shows a 60% jump in solar panel shipments to Africa in the past year. If installed, they could generate 15 GW — nearly doubling Africa's current solar capacity. It's not just the biggest energy users like South Africa, Nigeria, and Algeria. Countries like Liberia, DRC, Benin, Angola, and Ethiopia have tripled their imports. So, is this the start of a solar-powered revolution on the continent? Hosts Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar speak to Dr Rose Mutiso, Science Advisor at the Energy for Growth Hub and Founder of the African Tech Futures Lab. Got a question?

Huko Bunia, jimboni Ituri Mashariki Mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo DRC, Mkuu wa Operesheni za Ulinzi wa Amani za Umoja wa Mataifa, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, amepongeza juhudi za pamoja za walinda amani wa Mpango wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa kulinda amani nchini humo MONUSCO na jeshi la serikali ya Congo, FARDC, katika juhudi za kulinda raia na kupunguza ghasia za makundi yenye silaha.Akizungumza wakati wa ziara yake iliyoanza Septemba 6, Mashariki mwa DRC katika jimbo la Ituri Lacroix amesema ushirikiano na kuaminiana kati ya mamlaka za jimbo la Ituri na vikosi vya Umoja wa Mataifa ni msingi muhimu wa kurejesha amani.Anasema “Nipo katika eneo liitwalo Fataki, katika jimbo la Ituri, Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, na hapa kuna kambi ya MONUSCO yenye kikosi cha Nepal, pamoja na kambi ya wakimbizi wa ndani. Maelfu ya watu wanalindwa hapa na wenzetu wa MONUSCO, na wanapatiwa msaada wa kibinadamu pamoja na ulinzi.”Gavana wa Ituri, Jenerali Johnny Luboya, alikaribisha msaada wa MONUSCO katika operesheni za kijeshi na mazungumzo ya amani, yakiwemo dhidi ya kundi la CRP katika eneo la Djugu Ituri ambako mamia ya maelfu ya wakimbizi wa ndani sasa wananufaika na ulinzi wa pamoja wa FARDC na walinda amani wa Umoja wa Mataifa. Lacroix amesema “Katika jimbo la Ituri pekee kuna makambi kadhaa ya wakimbizi wa ndani, ambayo yanalindwa na MONUSCO, ambapo makumi ya maelfu kwa hakika mamia ya maelfu ya watu wanalindwa na wenzetu wa MONUSCO na wanapatiwa msaada.”Mkuu huyo wa operesheni za ulinzi wa amani ameohitimisha kwa kusema ziara hii ni muhimu sana kwani “Nipo hapa kuonyesha kile ambacho MONUSCO hufanya kila siku, tofauti ambayo MONUSCO inaleta katika kuwalinda raia hawa, tofauti kati ya kuwa salama au kuwa katika hatari kubwa, na nilitaka pia kutoa shukrani zangu kwa wenzetu wa MONUSCO. Aidha, nilitaka kuwasikiliza wananchi, hawa wakimbizi wa ndani, pamoja na jamii, na kuona namna ambavyo tunaweza kushirikiana nao zaidi ili kuboresha hali na kupiga hatua katika kukabiliana na ghasia ambazo bado zinaendelea katika eneo hilo.”Baada ya zira yake jimboni Itari Lacrix ameelekea katika mji Mkuu Kinshasa ambako amekutana na na kuzungumza na maafisa wa serikali.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum would be remiss not to address the crackdown happening in our nation’s capital. The residents of Washington D.C., a city with more than 40% Black residents, are under siege. We hav reports from the ground of federal agents rolling out in overwhelming force and literally showing up on folks’ doorsteps. Trump’s stated goal is to crack down on “crime,” homelessness, and teenagers. Our hosts watch some clips and discuss, featuring friends of the show, Ty Hobson-Powell and Elizabeth Booker Houston. Then an update on the redistricting wars with Rep. Veasey (TX-33), Rep. Cleaver (MO-5), and State Rep Jones (TX-147). Texas Governor Abbot has said he will end the special session he called to redraw Texas’ electoral maps, which Texas Democrats fled the state to protest. What happens next? Will the Texas Dems be apprehended by the FBI? Do they have a path to victory in Texas or is the strategy mutually assured destruction (looking at you California)? We get the facts from the source. Did you know that the Democratic Republic of the Congo supplies much of the world’s cobalt, a vital mineral that helps power your smart phone? While this critical resource should be making the country fabulously wealthy, it has instead been a major driver of violence and exploitation. As promised, Tiffany Cross delivers a report on the DRC after her recent trip there. TAKE OUR SURVEY, WIN A PRIZE!

On episode 91, our hosts Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum bring on super-guest and renowned progressive journalist: Mehdi Hasan. Tiffany Cross is away this week but she sent us a report from the ground in the DRC. Mehdi Hasan was featured on a Jubilee debate where he (a proclaimed progressive) debated 20 “far-right” young people. The debate was shocking, participants called themselves fascists, and told Mehdi, a naturalized citizen, to “get out” of the country. Mehdi reflects on the debate, the surprise and trauma of it, and what it says (and doesn’t say) about modern conservatives. In addition, the hosts chat with him about redistricting (see below). Follow Mehdi Hassan’s work at https://zeteo.com/ Gerrymandering, the unfair drawing of electoral maps to benefit one’s own party, has been an issue for decades. Egged on by the Trump administration, we are now on the verge of an all-out gerrymandering war. Redistricting (redrawing maps) normally happens at the end of each decade. Trump demanded that Texas redraw their map now to add more Republican seats and the Texas GOP obliged. In response, Democratic state reps have fled Texas to prevent the new maps from being voted on, and governors of blue states like California and New York have threatened to change their state laws to allow more partisan gerrymandering in favor of Democrats.
