Host Matt Trump (fighting a temperamental mic cord) turns his leftover map slides into a full episode on a provocative question: did the barbarians actually destroy Rome, or preserve it? Picking up from last week's Phantom Time detour, he leans on Belgian historian Henri Pirenne and the book Medieval Cities, bought decades ago as an Austin physics grad student, to argue a mainstream but revisionist case. The thesis: the Germanic tribes (Goths, Angles, Saxons, Franks) did not want to burn Rome down. They wanted in, preserving Roman civilization under new rulers, feudalism, and above all the Church, which outlived the state. What truly severed the ancient world, Pirenne argues, was the Arab conquest cutting Christian Europe off from Mediterranean commerce, shifting Europe's center of gravity north. Expect Hagia Sophia, Ravenna mosaics, Justinian, and pointed parallels to whether America is reliving Rome's fall.

Become an Israel Guys member → https://israelguys.link/member-GV2 Israel just attacked an airbase in Syria, near the Turkish border. As it turns out, Turkey was on the verge of moving their troops into the airbase, which is why Israel did the strike. Neither Turkey nor Syria were warned by Israel in advance, and as we'll go into, a direct hot conflict between Israel and Turkey was barely avoided…for now. This comes as official reports surface revealing that Syria in fact possesses dangerous nuclear material, and both Turkey and Syria, move closer in their relations with Pakistan. Ben Hilton breaks it down for you on today's video.

For decades, sightings of unusual, spherical objects have been reported in our skies. Often described as metallic silver, translucent, or illuminated in fiery orange or red, flying objects matching this description were even reported by Allied pilots over Europe during WWII as a possible new advanced weapon developed by Nazi Germany. Today, the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office continues to collect reports about these mysterious "orbs," which constitute the single largest category of UAP reports it collects. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at striking examples of sightings and close encounters involving spherical UAP, also often referred to as "orbs," as well as official investigations by the U.S. government into these objects and their anomalous behavior.

Michael Wayne grew up in Mississippi, attended the Naval Academy, left after his father died, built a career in business and investments while running a hedge fund for fifteen years, spent twenty-five years as a clandestine CIA contractor operating across some of the most sensitive and most dangerous missions available — and then went to Ukraine after the 2022 Russian invasion to organize humanitarian aid, evacuate women and children from combat zones, train Ukrainian soldiers, and deliver equipment to the front line before discovering widespread corruption tied to Ukraine aid that he says reached powerful US politicians. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what twenty-five years as a CIA contractor actually looked like from the inside, what changed after 9/11 in the intelligence world, what the Ukraine work actually involved, what the corruption he discovered actually implicated, and what the DOJ prosecution that followed his decision to push back against that corruption actually produced — including a wire fraud conviction, a federal prison sentence at FPC Montgomery, and what he believes was a deliberate government effort to make him a convicted felon before he could become a whistleblower. _____________________________________________ #TrueCrime #espionage #cia #prisonstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ksjh06pb #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Dr. Gary Frazier is founder and president of Discovery Missions International, an equipping ministry to fulfill the Great Commission. He's a former pastor, a respected preacher on Bible prophecy, and the author of 15 books. All across the country the expansion of Islam is taking place with many communities in dispute about granting authority for the building or expansion of mosques and Islamic Centers. Online reports indicate a 31% increase in the number of mosques in the U.S. since 2010. The states with the heaviest concentration are New York, California and Texas. One of the most recent battles was in McKinney, Texas, where just a couple weeks ago the city council unanimously voted to approve a site plan for a new three-building Islamic Association campus. The community is at odds over this as a recall petition drive is taking hold, recalling these public officials. Gary has looked at what is happening in Texas and across the nation and has called it an Islamic invasion. So don't miss your opportunity to review this broadcast as Gary explains why Islam is growing so rapidly in America, the true goal of the movement, the concept of love and the Qur'an, a stunning testimony from a Sharia survivor, why Islam will never dominate the world, and so much more.

James Romm — Multi-Part, Part Two: Professor James Romm details the violent collapse of the Dionysian dynasty and its influence on Plato's writing. Following a falling out and exile, Dion launched an invasion to liberate Syracuse. However, his rule descended into factionalism, culminating in the assassination of his rival Heraclides and Dion's own eventual murder by his soldiers. The chaos ended when Timoleon of Corinth forced Dionysius the Younger to abdicate; the former tyrant famously spent his final years in Corinth as a humble music teacher. Romm explains that these political failures directly informed the Republic, specifically the allegory of the cave and the concept of the philosopher king. While Plato's letters and Plutarch's accounts attempted to whitewash Dion as a virtuous leader, Romm suggests Plato was often politically naive regarding the brutal realities of Syracusan power. (2)

Serhii Plokhy, Part Two: The second part focuses on the 2022 full-scale invasion, defined by Putin's catastrophic miscalculation that his troops would be welcomed as liberators. Instead, Ukraine demonstrated remarkable resilience under President Zelenskyy and military leaders like General Oleksandr Syrskyi. Plokhy highlights the "outright criminality" of Russian tactics, specifically the reckless use of nuclear sites like Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia as military shields and tools of international blackmail. He notes that the defense of sites like the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupolbecame global symbols of Ukrainian resistance. The war has triggered profound global shifts, including Germany's "Zeitenwende" and Japan's move toward providing military support. Former "interlocutors" like Emmanuel Macronhave shifted from seeking accommodation to joining the US-led coalition, while diplomatic mediation has fallen to leaders like President Erdoğan of Turkey. Furthermore, Ukraine's effective defense has likely contributed to stability in East Asia by discouraging a Chinese military adventure in Taiwan. While Putin views the war through an imperial lens, NATO has rediscovered its purpose in defending the international order. Plokhy concludes that while Putin is destroying Russia's future, the war may eventually force the nation to rethink itself as a modern state rather than an empire. (2)
They look like lost children… until you see their eyes — and realize you've just opened the door to something inhuman.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/dontlettheminREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yath5y6wFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Described as childlike beings with eerie coal black eyes, no iris or pupils, and pale, white skin, a scourge of mysterious black-eyed children have been reported all over the world. There are hundreds of reports of black-eyed children, often seen in groups of two or more, who ask for permission to enter the person's home or vehicle. Witnesses often report an overwhelming feeling of dread and despair in their presence. What the black-eyed children seek is not known… nor is it known exactly what they are. (Invasion Of The Black Eyed Kids) *** In October of 1943, a U.S. Navy destroyer was supposedly turned invisible and teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk. But did it really happen? (The Truth Behind The Philadelphia Experiment) *** The Witchcraft Act of 1735 ended the gruesome practice of burning witches at the stake, making it illegal to accuse anyone of having magical powers. Yet in 1944, Helen Duncan was convicted under this very law for fraudulent spiritual activities. Despite her claims of contacting spirits through ectoplasm and even revealing classified naval secrets, she was sentenced to prison. Her trial was one of the last times the Witchcraft Act was used before being replaced in 1951, but her supporters continue to campaign for her pardon. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Once a powerful festival, Dies Sanguinis, or "Day of Blood," honored the Roman goddess of war, Bellona, with animal sacrifices and martial rituals. The festival showcased Rome's military strength and dedication to victory. Although the rise of Christianity and the fall of the Roman Empire eventually ended the festival, its legacy still sheds light on the fascinating nature of ancient Roman culture. (Rome's Day of the Bloody Sacrifice) *** The Dardeen family was found brutally murdered in their home near Ina, Illinois, leaving residents and investigators stumped. Yet even after a confession by Tommy Lynn Sells, the truth is still a mystery.

Once again, desperate people are being weaponized by fascist regimes. Why did over 60,000 immigrants from the authoritarian regime of Morocco, a regime aligned with Trump, rush the border of Spain, an enemy of Trump? Gaslit Nation has questions. The Russian disinformation factories have been pumping out floods of videos and shock-porn social media posts, including several hundred in Spanish. Gaslit Nation investigates to see if there is more to the story. MAGA influencers Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie, who led the bipartisan Epstein legislation, seem to think so. To listen to the full recording of this segment, which opened Monday's salon, including the Q&A on the shocking events in Morocco and Spain, be sure to sign up at Patreon.com/Gaslit, GaslitNation.Substack.com, or grab a membership on YouTube.This week's bonus show was the extended conversation with kleptocracy expert Casey Michel, sanctioned by Russia, and the author of the new book United States of Oligarchy. This week's upcoming salon will be hosted by longtime listeners and salon regulars Bethany and Lisa. On Monday August 17 at 4pm ET we're opening up our salon for all to hold a letter writing party for the Prairieland Defendants, the group of "antifa" activists given a combined 556 years in prison for protesting a brutal ICE detention center. It's a Soviet-style case of political repression, and history will be on their side. But let's bring them comfort and solidarity now by writing them letters in prison. This event is open to all so be sure to invite your friends. The Zoom link will be posted and open to the public on Patreon, Substack and on our socials. Be sure to share it to help us get out the word. For more on their story, listen to Gaslit Nation's episode in the show notes called "Free the Prairieland Defendants and All Political Prisoners."
