Podcasts about first casualty

In December 2013, Australian journalist Peter Greste, alongside fellow Al Jazeera colleagues Mohamed Fadel Fahmy and Baher Mohamed, were arrested in Cairo, Egypt under charges of holding illegal meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood, an organisation declared as a terrorist group by the Egyptian Interior Ministry. Kriv Stenders is a prolific Australian filmmaker, with his work spanning features, documentaries, and TV series. His latest film, The Correspondent, translates this period of Greste's life, as documented in his 2017 memoir The First Casualty, to screen, with Richard Roxburgh portraying the award winning journalist. The Correspondent is a salient reminder of the need for a global free press, and it arrives at a time where journalists around the world, even Australia, are being vilified, condemned, or at worse, being imprisoned or murdered for their work. While The Correspondent considers the legal battles that Greste and his journalistic colleagues endured between 2013 through to 2015, when Greste was released, the film then reflects on another attack on journalists, with Stenders and writer Peter Duncan taking us to another part of Greste's life, when he worked alongside Kate Peyton (portrayed by Yael Stone) in Mogadishu, Somalia in 2011. These scenes act as an insight to the complex ways that reporting from war zones leads to the aggressors violently controlling the passage of information, with The Correspondent then amplifying the message of advocating for free press.A central aspect to that advocacy is Richard Roxburgh's turn as Peter Greste. Arguably, this is the finest performance of Richard Roxburgh's career, with the weight of expectation, trauma, uncertainty, and grief lingering on his mind, often only appearing through glances or brief looks at his fellow inmates. Roxburgh echoes the work of Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips, another film which sees the acclaimed actor give a career best turn, and in doing so, brings to life Greste in an empathetic and supportive manner. It is as if this is the only performance that matters in his career. It's powerful stuff. I carry that in mind when I sit down to discuss the film with Kriv Stenders, oddly for the first time in my career. I've long admired Stenders work, from having caught The Illustrated Family Doctor in a small screen at Luna Cinemas Leederville, to being knocked off my feet with Boxing Day and Lucky Country. He then took his filmmaking to a new level with Red Dog and Red Dog: True Blue, and with the back of this run of films, he has examined the role that Australian stories and voices have on our cultural identity. Few filmmakers in Australian cinema get more than one or two films, and yet Stenders has crafted an enduring filmography that comments on and furthers our understanding of what Australian culture, identity, and cinema, can be. While this is my first time talking with Kriv, I know it won't be my last. The Correspondent arrives in Australian cinemas on 17 April 2025, with Q&A screenings continuing to take place at select cinemas. Make sure to check your local cinema guide for session details.

US President Donald Trump shocked the world -- and global markets -- with tariffs that exceeded expectations last week. But there was one region that was hit harder than most: Asia. Exporting powerhouses like China and Vietnam were slapped with some of the highest levies of any country, with China now facing an additional 50% tariff, bringing the total rate of its levies to more than 100%.

It's been a volatile few days across global markets. As the equity sell-off has deepened, a growing number of market strategists have revised down their targets for where the S&P 500 will be at the end of the year, and economists at several big banks have updated their forecasts. Today on the Big Take podcast, unpacking the seismic effect US President Trump’s tariffs announcement is having on markets. Bloomberg Opinion’s John Authers joins host David Gura to contextualize the market moves — and explain what’s likely to happen next.

#media #freespeech #truth  Investigative Journalism Site 'The Fourth's Founder Ian Yee - The First Casualty of War Is the Truth   Underrated, unrecognised and near as invisible to the risks involved, but the work of investigative journalists like Merdeka Award winner Ian Yee and his team at The Fourth (as in the Fourth Estate) are critical to a properly functioning democracy.  Almost like watchdogs, these silent heroes keep tabs on society's criminals, whether they are corrupt public officials, human traffickers or immoral business people, writing stories and producing content on social media that highlight the transgressions committed by these crooks.  (Many thanks to CITYPlus for their collaboration with The Do More Podcast, in whose studio this conversation was recorded.

Send us an email or hit us up on our Slack Channel and let's chat!  General News 00:56 Japan declares victory in effort to end government use of floppy disks Here’s a bit of tech nostalgia meets modernization for you!  Japan’s government has finally phased out the use of floppy disks in all its systems.  The Digital Agency has scrapped over 1,000 regulations related to their use, marking a significant step in their efforts to update government technology. Digital Minister Taro Kono, who’s been on a mission to modernize Japan’s government tech, announced this victory last week. It’s part of a larger push to digitize Japan’s notoriously paper-heavy bureaucracy, which became glaringly apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Japan’s digitization efforts have hit some bumps along the way, including issues with a contact-tracing app and slow adoption of their digital ID system.  It’s a reminder that modernizing legacy systems isn’t just about replacing old hardware – it’s a complex process that involves changing long-standing processes and especially mindsets. 02:36 Jonathan – “Yeah, I remember a couple of years ago they started talking about this modernization they were doing and people started to panic because Japan’s the largest purchaser of floppy disks anymore, or three and a half inch disks anyway. And so I ended up buying some because I’ve still got a USB floppy drive and some machines that have floppy disks. And I wanted just to stock up on some for the future, just in case the price went through the roof if Japan finally cut them and they have.” 05:16 regreSSHion: Remote Unauthenticated Code Execution Vulnerability in OpenSSH server  The Qualys Threat Research Unit just dropped a bombshell – they’ve discovered a remote code execution vulnerability in OpenSSH that affects millions of Linux systems. The vulnerability, dubbed “regreSSHion,” allows unauthenticated attackers to execute code as root on vulnerable system

Countless news stories are being re-written all over the internet, and not just with altered headlines: with inverse versions of the original story. This is the Ministry of Truth at work, employing the exercise of Double Think. The purge can only succeed if you limit the public's access to information through censorship, shadow banning, and search result manipulation, along with re-writing key stories. Then there is the stage of eliminating journalists. Julian Assange has yet to be released from the UK because despite facing 175 year in US prison, the feds will not rule out tacking on death penalty charges. It is the Obama, Biden, and Trump administrations behind this too. It's a bipartisan violation of the First Amendment, threatening anyone from ever revealing crimes again. What happened to Bradley-Chelsea Manning was also a tragedy. Meanwhile, journalist Steve Baker was arrested by the FBI on March 1 for covering January 6, 2021, and veteran journalist Catherine Herridge is now being fined each day she refuses to turn over her sources for a 2017 story about a Chinese-American scientist. This may spark memories over the sudden deaths of Andrew Breitbart and Michael Hastings. While the US looks to possibly execute Assange, they cry fowl over Russian journalists being mistreated, while also simultaneously Gonzalo Lira, an American, can die mysteriously in a Ukraine prison without questions. Even Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and due process of law in the 1860s; Bush Jr. allowed for warrantless wiretapping; and Obama put journalists at black sites and sent the IRS after Christian Conservatives. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

Latter-day Saints have been commanded to seek and share truth, and beware the many deceptions that false spirits and the adversary are spreading. Why, then, do we fall prey so often to believing things that are not true?

In today's addition of "Two Intellectual Idiots Fostering Political and Cultural Literacy" Dan, Corey, and Bel "The Bodysnatcher " take YOU, the disenfranchised or politically homeless sane person into: 1) Israel - Palestine and the difference between "logical" rationalization and "moral" rationalization. How it is possible to understand WHY a person, group, or even government might do something awful without necessarily condoning or supporting it. And where are we after a week and a half? Why do Americans look at every global event thru the lens of America only? 2) American elections: Do the powers that be actually care to fix them? Fraud or no fraud... Our s**t is sloppy AF! A moderately famous Detroit reporter gives us the scoop thru his own experience. 3) Still no Speaker of the House... with only a little over 30 days until the Government is scheduled to shut down without a budget.

Toby Harnden, Royal Navy veteran, and award-winning author talks about his best-selling book “First Casualty: The CIA's mission to avenge 9/11”. It follows the thrilling story of Team Alpha, an eclectic band of linguists, tribal experts, and elite warriors, who were the first Americans to operate behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. The veteran author offers vivid details about how CIA Officers and Special Forces soldiers were dropped into the mountains of northern Afghanistan on October 17, 2001 with limited resources, even riding on horseback into remote areas to start our attack on those who attacked us. Harnden also reveals the political infighting in Washington and how the Secretary of Defense was angry that the CIA had taken the lead on the mission. And we hear details about the extraordinary members of Team Alpha, and the brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice defending all Americans, still reeling from the attack on our nation.Harnden also shares details about an interesting and blood thirsty warlord the US teamed up with, in order to crush Al Qaeda.The bitter irony is that the US initially had success eliminating Al Qaeda and Taliban forces this way … One can only imagine how different things would be today if we had continued their mission, instead of moving the fight to Iraq.Get this book and more about Toby Harnden here:https://tobyharnden.com/Contact CBS Eye on Veteransphil@connectingvets.comFollow on Twitter:@philbriggsVet @eyeonveteransNote: This episode originally aired in February 2023.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Did you know that the state of California is home to 171,000 homeless people? That number is still increasing, and it's getting residents ticked. Most people are aware that California has been spending big trying to offer shelter to the unhoused in the state...but their numbers are growing. The #1 state wealthy Americans are leaving? California! You may not guess the top state they are moving to. California's electricity rates are among the highest in the nation. The three largest power companies are proposing a radical change: basing electric charges on customers' income. The proposed change could significantly impact the amount you pay for electricity, especially if you're a high-income or a low-income customer. For years, beavers have been treated as an annoyance for chewing down trees and shrubs and blocking up streams, leading to flooding in neighborhoods and farms. But the animal is increasingly being seen as nature's helper in the midst of climate change. Voters who only read headlines might think Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is teaching children that slavery was a good thing, but there are lies, damn lies, and Democratic media talking points. Sleep experts from Amerisleep compiled a list of 96 Google search terms relating to sleep disorders and how to get more rest, and then calculated the average monthly search volume per 100,000 residents in each state over the last year. California Republican members of Congress want the state to kill its tax on health savings accounts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With special guest: Peter Greste…in conversation with Bill Kable and Ken Thompson Our guest is Peter Greste who in the last two decades of reporting has journeyed through wars in some of the world’s most dangerous countries but does not describe himself as a serious risk taker. Over the years he has developed another sense of when he needs to take extra precautions for his own safety giving his family a certain degree of comfort. In any event there has always been an understanding that foreign correspondents are seen as outsiders which presents a way out of sticky situations. When Peter arrived in Egypt in 2013 he had never been arrested for anything and he was planning to be in the country for three weeks doing what he called “vanilla journalism” meaning nothing controversial. All that changed after the dreaded knock on the door when a group of heavy set men shovelled him backwards and started searching the room for evidence of something, anything, they could accuse him with.

Tucker Carlson and Fox News You people that laugh and joke about Tucker leaving, none of this is fun. We have had many many producers and on air hosts leave us. It isn't easy or fun for any business to replace someone. We've done it and it takes WEEKS sometimes months to replace an on air talent. There honestly isn't much of a bench. From the WH Press Briefing room Jen Psaki asked for Tucker to be fired. From the House Speaker Chuck Schumer singled Tucker out and said Rupert needed ‘do the right thing' with regards to Tucker Carlson. Should the FCC come by your radio station -  1. Who is your current board operator do they have a current FCC class operators license?  2. You keep a copy of anyone that puts hands on the board. 3. They will ask to see your logs on what commercials you play the duration and the times they are aired. We are no fan of the FCC but they do make sure if you are awarded an AM or FM broadcasting antenna, they require you to do a coverage map.  Once that coverage map is filed that is what it is, they won't let anyone else open a radio station in YOUR coverage area. The FCC does NOT get involved in on air talent! HEADLINE: Tucker Carlson Fired By Lachlan Murdoch; Here's What We Know via ZeroHedge  When you work in this business, you kinda' know or you plan that every single day could be your last on air w/ that company. It is a hostile market. The HighWire didn't start its own network, it is really hard to do! QUESTION: Why do I say CNN would be a good landing place for him? QUESTION: How did CNN get it's foothold?  NBC paid $15 million for having Megan Kelly for 6 weeks. QUESTION: Where does all of this leave cable news? Where are those eyeballs going? When everyone is a Tucker Carlson, no one is a Tucker Carlson. So what was Tucker's demise?

Author and Money Manager Alex Krainer joins me to discuss the new war for control over oil and the rapidly changing landscape of the Middle East and Central AsiaBlog : http:www.tomluongo.meTwitter @TFL1728

October 17, 2001. The dust of 9/11 has barely settled. America and the world are reeling. In Afghanistan, 8 CIA officers - a crack team of linguists, tribal experts and paramilitaries - are the first Americans to infiltrate Taliban territory after the attacks. Their mission is to ensure that Al Qaeda does not strike again. They are Team Alpha. In Part 2, Vanessa Kirby joins CIA linguist David Tyson and author Toby Harnden for the gripping conclusion to the first act of the War on Terror. Could YOU adapt to a new reality? From SPYSCAPE, the home of secrets. A Cup And Nuzzle production. Series producers: Gemma Newby, Joe Foley. Produced by Morgan Childs. Music by Nick Ryan.

In the old communist countries, comrades who fell out of favor were crudely cut out of photographs. Today in the Digital Era it's easy to electronically eliminate a person and/or their work. Take Chris Hedges. His show On Contact was aired on RT, a Russian state TV network. It was on YouTube when suddenly its six-year archive of programs disappeared. Hedges said this, “I vanished. In totalitarian systems you exist, then you don't. I have a hard time seeing how a detailed discussion of Ulysses or the biographies of Susan Sontag and J. Robert Oppenheimer had any connection in the eyes of the most obtuse censors in Silicon Valley with Vladimir Putin.” And then he warns, “If this happens to me, it can happen to you.”

Sebastian talks to Toby Harnden about his book "First Casualty," detailing the earliest operations in the War on Terror, and his stories from on the ground in Afghanistan; Sebastian then gives a monologue calling out conspiracy theorists who still think Russian war crimes are false flags by Ukraine Support the show: https://www.sebgorka.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[00:30] U.S. Media Calling for War (14 minutes) In the months leading up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. offered virtually no military aid to Ukrainians. In fact, Biden even lifted sanctions on Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline project. Now, the White House is being pressured to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine, a move that many say would trigger a war between Russia and America. Incredibly, this pressure isn't coming from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alone, but also from the American media. [14:50] A Change in the Economic World Order (12 minutes) With the U.S. dollar declining alongside America's prestige as a world superpower, many nations are looking outside of America for global leadership and economic stability. According to the International Monetary Fund, the war in Ukraine “may fundamentally alter the global economic and geopolitical order should energy trade shift, supply chains reconfigure, payment networks fragment, and countries rethink reserve currency holdings.” [27:05] NYT: Hunter Biden's Laptop Turns Out to Be Hunter Biden's (12 minutes) Before the 2020 presidential election, the New York Post published e-mails detailing Hunter Biden's illicit business dealings with America's foreign adversaries. At the time, the Post was removed from social media platforms and the entire Democrat-media complex dismissed the e-mails as Russian disinformation. Yesterday, the New York Times published a story “authenticating” those e-mails. In other words, the laptop did, in fact, belong to Hunter Biden. [39:15] Bible Study: Act on God's Truth (14 minutes) Many traditional Christians sincerely believe that faith in Jesus Christ is all that is required for salvation. In today's study, we examine the subject of living faith as it relates to obedience to God's holy laws.
