This week marks three decades since a massacre in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica where more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were systematically killed by Serb forces in 1995. Some survivors and victims' families say they're still looking for justice. Also, after decades of insurgency against the Turkish government, the PKK has ceremonially laid down its arms. And, residents of Tehran who fled during the recent war with Israel are rebuilding, but they say that nothing feels the same.

In the shadow of revolution, a campaign of quiet devastation unfolded. While Washington's Continental Army fought British redcoats along the eastern seaboard, a very different war was being waged in the lush valleys of upstate New York. It was not a war for cities or forts—but for orchards, granaries, and the very soil beneath Seneca feet.Join John and Patrick as they unearth the harrowing truth behind the Sullivan Expedition—a scorched-earth campaign ordered by George Washington to annihilate the agricultural heartland of the Iroquois Confederacy. With orders to destroy not only villages, but entire food systems, Washington's army marched north to break the back of Indigenous resistance. What followed was less a battle than a deliberate erasure: orchards axed, cornfields torched, entire towns razed in cheerful efficiency.From the diplomatic genius and agricultural brilliance of the Seneca people to the haunting final stand at Genesee Castle, this is the story of America's first total war—a war not just against a people, but against their ability to survive.----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Step into history - literally!

Why does genocide keep happening—and what can we actually do about it?In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, we zoom out from the headlines and explore the deeper, often overlooked cause of war, violence, and mass suffering: a stressed collective consciousness. Rather than pointing fingers or choosing sides, this conversation invites you to look inward and ask, What am I contributing to the collective—peace or stress?We explore how real change begins on the inside, how personal inner peace impacts global consciousness, and why waiting for the world to fix itself from the outside-in is backwards.

01:03:15 – 01:17:32“One Big Beautiful Bill”: Budget, Amnesty, and Economic FalloutThe new budget bill extends Trump-era tax cuts, slashes welfare and Medicaid, raises defense spending, and increases the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. Critics warn it frontloads benefits and delays cuts, triggering a fiscal cliff by 2028. Despite MAGA promises, the bill includes talk of amnesty and centralizes more power in federal hands. 01:18:29 – 01:21:28Military Budget Passes $1 Trillion MarkThe bill allocates $150 billion in extra military funding, bringing the 2026 military budget to over $1 trillion. Funding priorities include a proposed “Golden Dome” defense system and additional missile stockpiles, sparking concern over boondoggles and unnecessary militarism. 01:29:29 – 01:43:58Inalienable Rights, Tyranny, and the Spirit of 1776A commentary explores the erosion of civil liberties under expanding executive power, comparing modern policies to British tyranny before the American Revolution.

Gottheimer and Lawler are united in arming Israel.

Rane and Jo welcome Claire Holloway back for her second appearance on the Flow Artist Podcast, where she shares her evolving journey as a yoga teacher and activist in Perth, Western Australia. Since her last visit, Claire has expanded her focus to include perinatal care, home birthing support, and community-based yoga programs. One of her notable achievements has been securing a local council grant to provide subsidised postpartum yoga, making her services more accessible to those who need them most. The conversation takes a powerful turn when Claire discusses her recent activism work, particularly her involvement in organising "Mothering During a Genocide," an event that amplified Palestinian and Indigenous voices. Her approach to activism is deeply intertwined with her role as a mother, viewing it as a nurturing, long-term commitment to social justice. As she puts it, "Start with a willingness to learn" - a philosophy that guides both her teaching and activism. The episode also delves into some sobering realities about birthing rights in Australia, with Claire sharing that "one in three people who birth in Australia are experiencing birth trauma." Her work in the home birth community and advocacy for birthing rights demonstrates her commitment to addressing these systemic issues. Throughout the conversation, Claire maintains a balance between acknowledging the gravity of social justice issues while offering hope and practical steps for creating change, emphasising that meaningful impact often starts with small, consistent actions rather than grand gestures.

At Glastonbury, Britain's biggest music festival, two artists called out Israel's genocide in Gaza and accused the British government of complicity. On-stage remarks by one of them - Bob Vylan - plunged the country's public broadcaster, the BBC, which livestreamed the performance, into yet another Gaza-shaped row.

Tariq Nafi reports. Palestinians are seen as some sort of existential threat, just for being there While debates rage in international media over phrases like “from the river to the sea” and “death to the IDF,” far less scrutiny falls on the anti-Palestinian abuse that has become normal inside Israel - from pop songs to viral chants.

Trump is nearly seven months into his presidency, and massive amounts of election fraud continue to be uncovered. A declassified FBI report has revealed that U.S. intelligence communities were fully aware that China was interfering in our elections, yet they did nothing about it. But that's not all—while election fraud is being exposed at the federal level, patriots across the nation are still working hard to uncover the web of deception in their own counties. Today, we'll have a roundtable discussion on what exactly is happening in our elections. All this and more on today's Untamed!

This week's show features stories from France 24, Radio Deutsche-Welle, NHK Japan, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250704.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- First a press review about the bill before the French Parliament which would merge all public broadcasters together, revenge from some politicians who do not like their criticism- the bill has failed to pass so far. A press report on West Bank settlers who have been attacking Israeli Defense Forces who shot an Israeli 14 year old who the soldier mistook for a Palestinian. Then an updated report from Jerusalem about the West Bank settlers and the Israeli right wing who accuse the military of being leftists. From GERMANY- Following an Israeli attack on a seaside cafe in Gaza that killed 30 civilians including another journalist, DW interviewed Martin Roux from Reporters Without Borders. They discuss this cafe incident as well as the unprecedented killing of 200 journalists by the Israeli army in its war on Gaza since October 2023. Journalists in war zones are protected under international law, and targeting them is a war crime. From JAPAN- Trump has expressed frustration in trade talks with Japan- Japan is also frustrated and this report expresses the view from Japan. It also includes some history of the tariff conflict between the massive business partners. Zelensky wants to pull Ukraine from the Ottawa Convention which bans anti-personnel land mines- recently Poland and Finland said they are withdrawing from the treaty as well. Ukraine carried out a drone strike on a Russian factory 800 miles across the border. From CUBA- Venezuela reported an international conspiracy bringing weapons across their borders to destabilize the country and justify a US intervention. No one is sure if the International Criminal Court will survive the Trump administration pressure on Gaza. Iran urged the UN and Security Council to strongly condemn Israel and the US for violating its national sovereignty.

From negotiating with Iran to bombing its nuclear facilities and then brokering a ceasefire, Trump's erratic pivots appear to be driven more by optics than coherent diplomacy. Mainstream Western news outlets, however, are making the job easier - painting Iran as an existential threat while downplaying Israel's illegal actions.

On this episode of CounterPunch Radio, Erik Wallenberg and Joshua Frank are joined by Kathleen Brown and Michael Mueller to discuss the violent crackdown and subsequent criminal charges lodged against pro-Palestine activists at the University of Michigan. It's a tale of a iniquitous D.A., a Israel-friendly Board of Trustees and students persevering against all odds. Kathleen Brown is a doctoral student at the University of Michigan and former vice president of her labor union, Graduate Employees' Organization, AFT Local 3550, where she was involved in grad worker strikes in 2020 and 2023. She has been active in organizing for divestment on campus. Most recently, she was part of the year-long legal defense campaign "Dana Nessel, Drop the Charges" to pressure Michigan Attorney General to end her prosecution of 12 anti-genocide activists from U-M. Her political writing can be found on The Abusable Past, Against the Current, Spectre Journal, and Long Haul Magazine. Michael Mueller is a former PhD student at the University of Michigan, an organizer in the Graduate Employees' Organization during the 2023 graduate worker strike, and a participant in the local movement demanding that UM divest its ties to the genocide in Palestine. He is one of seven people -- including students, workers, and community members -- whom Michigan Attorney Dana Nessel pursued felony charges against for pro-Palestine action at the UM Gaza Solidarity Encampment, on top of her additional charges against participants in the encampment and in an August pro-Palestine die-in.
