Victor Hugo Vaca Jr. shares his perspective on globalist machinations and details his experiences at the US Naval Academy, alleging that he witnessed systemic corruption and psychological grooming designed to create obedient “psychopaths.” He discusses how elite families are ratcheting up Agenda 2030, digital IDs, and 5G technology to establish global control since their plot is becoming obvious. Vaca believes China will come out number one and America will be relegated to the fourth or fifth position behind BRICS nations, highlighting a perceived shift in power from the West to the East, while warning of a future defined by mass surveillance and the erosion of civil liberties. He believes the dystopia has a silver lining and urges people to keep calm and flow. Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

Ghost is back live for the first time in a while, kids tucked in, wife out of town, and a full month of news to catch up on. He starts with the fallout from the Mecca agreement, the Saudi Turkey Pakistan defense pact he had been mapping out since February, and why he thinks Egypt, Iran and Syria will all eventually join. From there he digs into a resurfaced 1962 interview where Israel's first prime minister laid out a vision that sounds a lot like modern globalism, then walks through the new three billion dollar Israel Greece defense deal, complete with laser interceptors he expects to see tested in the Aegean. He also covers a suspicious ferry sinking near Cyprus, a wild historical detour involving yogurt and the Armenian genocide, and a leadership shakeup inside Iran's IRGC that has him questioning whether the organization even still exists.

Policy decisions shape investability, market resilience and long-term returns. In a fragmented global economy, what role should investors play in engaging with governments as part of their stewardship approach? Nathan Fabian, Chief Policy & Research Officer at the PRI, is joined by Jane Ambachtsheer, Chief Sustainability Officer at BNP Paribas Asset Management. Together, they explore how investors can engage policymakers in an evidence-based, financially relevant way, from transition planning and taxonomies in Asia-Pacific to system-level risks and real-economy policy.The conversation also examines asset-owner expectations, stewardship and collaboration, asking how investors can contribute market insight without drifting into partisanship - and what the responsible investment community needs to deliver reliable outcomes for its clients.Detailed coverage:Asia-Pacific policy is moving from frameworks to implementationJane and Nathan discuss transition planning, decarbonisation roadmaps and taxonomies in Japan and China, where investor-policy dialogue is increasingly pragmatic and focused on tools that improve decision-making.Four megatrends are reshaping investment riskJane outlines four megatrends - geopolitics, the environment, innovation and demographics - and why investors need to consider both individual and interconnected system-level risks.Financial policy and real-economy policy are two sides of the same coinThe conversation explores how investor engagement can span disclosure and taxonomy rules as well as economic policies that influence technology, transition pathways and capital deployment.Investors can contribute evidence, not partisanshipNathan and Jane discuss why long-term investors can provide market insight on investability, risk and resilience while maintaining a financially material and objective basis for policy engagement.Policy engagement needs clearer asset-owner expectationsJane reflects on how policy work can be harder to measure than corporate engagement, and why stronger mandates, case studies and accountability can help asset owners assess what managers are doing.Stewardship and policy engagement should reinforce each otherCompany engagement can reveal transition barriers and opportunities that investors can bring to policymakers, while policy positions should remain consistent with voting and corporate stewardship.Credibility and collaboration will define what comes nextThe episode closes with four priorities: local expertise and credibility, authentic collaboration, a whole-value-chain perspective and stronger demand from asset owners for focused policy engagement.Chapters:00:00 – Asia-Pacific: from policy frameworks to implementation03:15 – Four megatrends shaping investor risk and opportunity06:34 – Linking financial-sector policy with the real economy08:55 – How large investors decide where and how to engage14:37 – Why investors are not passive policy takers16:52 – Asset-owner expectations and measuring policy engagement21:18 – Client interests, universal ownership and system-level risks23:10 – Connecting company stewardship with policy reform25:47 – The roles investors should play in policy engagement29:15 – Credibility, collaboration and the future of policy engagementDisclaimer:This podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

Alan Berman discusses his “psychohistory prediction engine” designed to map the intricate connections between billionaires, government agencies, and the military-industrial complex. The discussion highlights how power has consolidated globally, with both speakers suggesting that modern society is regressing toward a form of technological feudalism. They explore the role of AI and algorithmic sorting in manipulating public consciousness and domestic populations through the “MindWar” doctrine. Berman advocates for individual sovereignty and critical thinking as the primary tools for resisting a curated, totalitarian global system.

Today, with Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo we look through three of the key earnings report seeing very positive market responses, topped by Nvidia's strong report and outlook. We go through the details, the good points and a few concerns in places. Elsewhere, macro is quiet and a lower oil price is helpful, but grains are on fire, in part linked to geopolitical concerns that continue to present difficult-to-quantify risks. This and more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Links As Michael Every predicted, the US is now considering the equivalent of "letters of marque" or 19th century and earlier era policies allowing private operators to serve as extension of US power overseas, for things like seizing Iran's oil.

Investigative journalist Ben Swann joins the program to share his perspective on the growing disconnect between President Trump and his administration. We examine the competing forces surrounding the presidency, including pressure from powerful industries, political factions, entrenched interests, and Trump's own desire to maintain political power and influence.Swann and I discuss how these pressures can collide with campaign promises once a president is back in office, and what that means for voters trying to understand the administration's direction. We also examine the larger political system, the interests competing for influence, and whether meaningful change is possible when so many forces are working to shape policy from behind the scenes.You can learn more and follow Ben Swann at TruthInMedia.com.See Webinar replays and more at SarahWestall.Substack.com

In this episode, guest host Dean Karayanis fills in on The Derek Hunter Podcast to tackle pressing national and international headlines, focusing on economic policy, foreign relations, and domestic political discourse. U.S.-Canada Trade Relations: Dean examines the media coverage of President Trump's tariffs, arguing that critics ignore long-standing Canadian trade protectionism in sectors like dairy and lumber. He critiques Canadian political figures, including Mark Carney and Justin Trudeau, for pursuing economic ties with Communist China despite human rights concerns while opposing U.S. policies. Geopolitics & Defense Spending: The discussion highlights foreign policy realities, noting that international maritime security and North American defense are heavily subsidized by U.S. taxpayers, while NATO allies often fail to meet agreed-upon defense spending targets. Border Policy & Immigration Realities: Dean compares strict border and third-country asylum enforcement in Canada and Mexico with U.S. border security debates, challenging narrative double standards surrounding immigration, as Tom Homan proclaims himself an equal-opportunity deporter who has sent aliens home to 180 countries. Domestic News & Political Rhetoric: The episode covers political rhetoric surrounding corporate workplace incidents, media framing of counter-terrorism efforts by law enforcement, and the importance of grounding political arguments in historical context and verifiable facts.

Keith McHenry, co-founder of the Food Not Bombs movement, discusses his family's deep American roots and how despite a lineage connected to the founding of the country which also participated in parapolitical events, McHenry took a radical departure toward anarchism and social activism. He describes the evolution of his organization, which provides free meals as a form of nonviolent protest against military spending and corporate dystopia. He details his extensive history of political arrests, his experiences with state repression and torture, and his commitment to aiding the homeless. He outlines the digital dystopia being built all around us and suggests mutual aid as one of the few things that will get us through.

Today, a look at the importance and geostrategic implications of the US-Canada trade stand-off, even if the current 50% tariff threat only impacts a small portion of the trade relationship. The geopolitical implications of the US threat to counter Iran's "enablers" are also considered, together with the latest news flow on AI data center financing stories, incoming earnings from Nvidia and other interesting names this week and much more, especially what to watch in the US and European sovereign debt markets. Today's pod was hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Links Michael Every X post highlighting key geopolitical points and why this latest round in the US-Canada "trade war" is critical stuff. The New York Times covers Powerus, the company already manufacturing thousands of drone interceptors a month in the UAE. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's threat to cut off Iran's economy from the world, focusing especially on its "enablers" - what might that mean for new US-China tensions, which have been put on the back burner for quite some time? Volkswagen wants to make some deep cuts to capacity and may repurpose some of its factories for defense. Read daily in-depth market updates from the Saxo Market Call and the Saxo Strategy Team here.

They also explore Coral Vita's land-based coral farms, the concept of restoration as a service, the economic value of natural infrastructure and why coral conservation continues to receive bipartisan support.The conversation offers an honest but hopeful look at the future of the world's oceans, and how business, technology and nature can work together to rebuild what has been lost.Support the show

"Expansive visions. Universal institutions. Ideas of progress. It was on the back of these that the West surged ahead and built a global order. I was born into that world. But my children have entered a world of Un-order." We live in an explosive world. Trump is blowing up political order. Xi Jinping is scrambling the economy. And Putin is redrawing the map of Europe. At a time when every crisis bleeds into the next — from pandemics and wars to climate shocks and AI revolutions — the old rules of global order are collapsing. Mark Leonard reveals how geopolitics is being rewritten in an age of "Un-Order," where no one agrees on the rules, and even the concept of order itself is up for debate. Drawing on years of conversations with leaders and thinkers from Beijing to Washington, Leonard argues that we are witnessing a new divide in international politics between the grand "architects" who try to build a stable global system and the nimble "artisans" who adapt, improvise, and survive amidst disruption. China, he shows, has embraced the "artisan's" mindset while Europe and the West cling to the fading certainties of the "architects". Part analysis, part manifesto, Surviving Chaos: Geopolitics When the Rules Fail (Polity Press, 2026) offers a bold new framework for understanding power in the twenty-first century — and a call for leaders to stop defending yesterday's world and start learning how to thrive in tomorrow's. Mark Leonard is co-founder and director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, the first pan-European think–tank. Lucas Tse is Examination Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford.

Acclaimed historian Simon Sebag Montefiore returns to Unholy to discuss his sweeping new book, The Cauldron: A History of the Middle East between 1900 and 2026. He tells Yonit and Jonathan that understanding the region today requires starting at the dawn of the 20th century — thanks to the long shadow still cast by the Ottoman Empire and its collapse. They talk of the often underestimated significance of Saudi Arabia, the convulsions that followed the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the extent to which Israel is - unexpectedly - a Middle Eastern state like any other.   ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:52 Why the book starts in 1900 02:49 Ibn Saud and the House of Saud 07:31 1979 and the Iranian revolution 09:55 The empire states, none of them Arab 13:13 Israel as a post-Ottoman state 18:22 Ben Gurion, Ataturk, Reza Shah 21:46 Middleness, pipelines and Haifa 26:35 The 1840 Damascus blood libel 30:02 Purity tests and historians' nerve 33:58 The King and Britain's minorities
