We continuously hear of the atrocities happening in Central Asia. Then there's the devastation of Russia's war with Ukraine with thousands of lives lost. There's the Taliban's control of Afghanistan with those living there having to flee to other nations. As devastating as these issues are, what must not be ignored is the fact that the persecution of believers continues. In spite of this, the Gospel is flourishing. People are coming to Christ and churches are being planted. The burden of the laborers is heavy. They need help to take care of physical needs to grant relief to many who are hurting or suffering. That opens the door to Gospel ministry. Are you willing to help? Appearing on Crosstalk to tell us more was "Timlar Kovalchuk" (Koh-vul-chook) (a pseudonym used to protect him and others). Timlar has been actively involved as a missionary in evangelism for nearly 28 years, the last 15 in outreach to Muslims in Central Asia. Beginning with Ukraine, Timlar noted how it's getting increasingly worse around the Kiev area. In spite of that, he's seen military members coming to Christ while other individuals have come to Christ via camp ministry. Timlar also recounted plans for a youth camp in Turkmenistan. Somehow the secret police (KGB) found out about it, followed up on the youth contacts and began to threaten the parents with loss of work as well as jail time. This is just two examples of what Timlar and his co-laborers in the Lord are having to face, yet the Gospel is moving forward. In fact, as it pertains to the Gospel's impact in Ukraine he said "...it's been beautiful to watch." Listen in as Timlar recounts more!

The book also examines the extra-legal measures that both the KGB and FBI employed to destroy them.The Black Panthers and the Soviets: A Comparative History of Human Rights Movements (Bloomsbury, 2025) by Dr. Meredith Roman innovatively compares Soviet human rights activists' exposure of the workings of the Soviet police state with the miniature, city-level surveillance police states that the Black Panthers exposed as operating across the United States. It illuminates the legal tactics of counter-surveillance that Soviet rights defenders and the Black Panthers employed as a means of restraining acts of state-sanctioned violence. The book also highlights how the U.S. production of knowledge about Soviet 'dissidents' reified white supremacist, anti-communist notions of dissent, human rights, and state violence that facilitated the repression of the Black Panthers and the mass incarceration of African Americans as criminals.Dr. Roman disrupts the enduring Cold War binaries of authoritarianism-democracy and oppression-freedom that obscure our understanding of the complex, overlapping histories of these two superpowers. Dr. Roman convincingly argues that the Soviet rights defenders and the Black Panthers' vast documentation of domestic human rights abuses and the repressive measures that they faced for mobilizing to end them serve as an important societal reminder; they reaffirm that genuine democracy and the safeguarding of human rights are incompatible with authoritarian practices, the conditions of racial capitalism, and the ideology of national security.

Covent Garden reels at their scale and power – 45 minutes of applause, queues in the rain, a stage too small for their vast sets. Meanwhile, across Europe, the Hungarian Uprising explodes.

BACK WITH A BANGER! This week, the Father Hoods squad links up with none other than The Kid Mero—comedian, writer, Bronx-bred Dominican dad of four, and all-around wild storyteller. From back-to-back diaper duty to riding in beach chairs as seats in minivans with his own pops, Mero breaks down the madness of raising kids back then and now. The host of 7 PM in Brooklyn keeps it raw about fatherhood, remembering the shock of becoming a young Dad, leaving his job to go full-time Dad, and even keeping it 100 with his kids about medicinal marijuana. Mero doesn't sugarcoat, whether it's talking about how his kids see him in the public eye or how he'd handle it if they ever tested the same boundaries he once did. From hosting/writing/producing shows to cheering on his kids' athletic dreams, Mero reminds us that being a Dad is about showing up, holding it down, and keeping it a stack no matter what.

In the summer of 1970, Soviet Jewish dissidents Eduard Kuznetsov and Mark Dymshits organized a group of 16 refuseniks to take over a small, 12-seater airplane and escape from the USSR. Dubbed “Operation Wedding,” the group booked their tickets on the small civilian aircraft under the guise of attending a wedding. Their plan: to board the flight, forcibly remove the pilots during a stop, and continue on to Israel. But on the morning of June 15, as they arrived to board their flight, KGB agents intercepted the group. The accused were charged with high treason, and the trial drew international attention - and shined a light on the human rights violations the Soviet government was committing, igniting the Soviet Jewry movement as we know it. Narrated by Rebecca Naomi Jones and featuring Anat Zalmanson-Kuznetsov.

In dieser Folge widmen wir uns einer der gefürchtetsten Organisationen der Sowjetunion: dem NKWD. Als Vorläufer des KGB war der sowjetische Geheimdienst in den 1930er und 1940er Jahren maßgeblich an politischen Säuberungen, Repressionen und der Errichtung des stalinistischen Terrors beteiligt. Millionen Menschen fielen seinen Verhören, Deportationen und Erschießungen zum Opfer. Doch was genau war der NKWD? Wie funktionierte sein System aus Überwachung, Angst und Gewalt? Und welche Rolle spielte er im Machtapparat Stalins? Wir blicken hinter die Fassade einer Organisation, die ganze Gesellschaften kontrollierte – und zerstörte.

What's worse than a conspiracy theory? When the actual conspiracy is even worse than the theory. Jeffrey Epstein carried out a kompromat operation for years, capturing American elite, unleashing a national security nightmare, and destroying the lives of children. In this special episode with Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman, we examine Epstein, Trump, and Russia–and the threats that still remain from the real life QAnon.  Epstein was the closest thing Trump had to a friend, going back to the 1980s. The rise of these criminal networks intertwined: Epstein, Trump, and Rudy Giuliani pushing out the Italian mafia as mayor of New York to make room for the Russian mafia–a takeover that accelerated after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Epstein's wife-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, was a documented KGB asset with a sideline in laundering Soviet billions, and reportedly also worked with Israeli intelligence, the Mossad, at a time when the Kremlin used the Jackson-Vanik amendment passed by Congress to release spies and criminal assets among the Jewish Soviet citizens, like Lautman's family, seeking refuge in the U.S. While Epstein's survivors beg for justice and promise to release their own list of elite pedophiles, the GOP continue the Epstein cover-up to protect convicted felon Trump, their battering ram against democracy. QAnon was deflection, fueled by Russian disinformation to protect their wrecking ball in the White House. Expect more Russian psyops as the far-right Epstein cover-up continues.

Vladimir Putin casts a shadow over our lives, but it wasn't always that way, there was a time when the West was in love with Putin, so what's happened? Today Tony and his guests Mark Galeotti and Anna Arutunyan unpick the man from the myth.They discuss how Putin was shaped by a tough childhood in Leningrad, his KGB years and formative time in East Germany, how he rose through the political ranks in the 1990s as a ‘everyone's favourite bag-man', until he was hand-picked to be Yeltsin's successor. At first President Putin restored order and wealth to a chaotic Russia, but he also built a system of fear and cronyism around him, similar to a Medieval court. They argue that once he could have been remembered as a stabiliser, instead he is now viewed as a paranoid strongman, whose need for control has dragged Russia into repression and conflict.Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram @sirtonyrobinson Producer: Melissa FitzGerald | X @melissafitzg With Mark Galiotti | X @MarkGaleotti Honorary professor at UCL and director of the consultancy Mayak Intelligence, Mark has been studying Russia since 1988 and was banned indefinitely from it in 2022.‘Downfall: Putin, Prigozhin, and the fight for the future of Russia' (Ebury/Penguin, June 2024)'We Need to Talk About Putin: How the West gets him wrong' (Penguin, 2019) Anna Arutunyan | X @scrawnya Russian-American writer who spent two decades as a journalist in Moscow, where she wrote for The Moscow News and other publications around the world.

The Father Hoods crew is back in the booth with another fire episode, loaded with Dad bars and laugh-out-loud moments. They kick things off trading travel stories, from EFN flying the fam first class to Manny being trapped in the middle seat between a couple beefing mid-flight. Back on home turf, the Dads get into some gems. EFN talks about pulling his son's tooth with his bare hands, while Manny reflects on last week's convo with Alan Hahn, wishing he could rewind and relive those early moments with his kids.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela welcome guest co-host Mike Imbasciani, filling in for 1/4 Black Garrett. The show begins with the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel, the FCC, and late-night coverage of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The hosts break down questions of free speech, cancel culture, and whether traditional late-night television still has a place, reflecting on figures from Craig Ferguson to Dick Cavett. From there, the panel reacts to Don Lemon's street interviews and digs into the politics of Dearborn, Michigan, including debates over radical rhetoric and street naming controversies. This leads into a wider discussion of socialism, cultural decline, and the warnings of former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov about “useful idiots” being cast aside once revolutionary goals are met. A Half-Assed Top 10 skewers what new civic institutions could exist in “America's Jihad capital.” Later, the episode unpacks a shocking Dallas, Texas crime story, riffs on Billy Corgan's appearance with Bill Maher, and questions Geraldo Rivera's claim that violent video games were to blame for Charlie Kirk's assassination. The team closes with tributes to Robert Redford, sharp takes on politics and gender, and a live studio performance by Mike Imbasciani and his Blues Rockers.

Durante su segundo mandato (1972–74), Harold Wilson fue objeto de una intensa campaña de desestabilización. Desde el MI5 hasta sectores del Ejército —y quizás incluso la CIA—, diversos elementos del "estado profundo" lo acusaron de ser un agente del KGB, dentro de una operación con nombre en clave tan inquietante como familiar: La Naranja Mecánica. A esto se sumaron artículos "negros", intoxicaciones mediáticas y rumores de golpe de estado, en los que no faltaban viejas figuras con vínculos con el fascismo británico de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

"Philip and Elizabeth Jennings" are undercover KGB agents who have been embedded in the US since the '60s, living as a married couple, raising children, and trying to fit in as a normal '80s suburban family -- and their cover is tested when an FBI agent moves into their neighborhood.

Send us a textConnect with me on https://www.bookclues.comHave you ever wondered about the real-life inspiration behind shows like "The Americans"? Shaun Walker pulls back the curtain on one of history's most audacious espionage operations in this riveting conversation about his meticulously researched book, "The Illegals: Russia's Most Audacious Spies and Their Century-Long Mission to Infiltrate the West."Walker reveals the extraordinary world of Russian "illegals" – spies who spend years, sometimes decades, living under completely fabricated foreign identities with absolutely no official connection to Moscow. Unlike traditional diplomatic spies, these deep-cover agents immerse themselves so thoroughly in their adopted countries that even their spouses and children may have no idea of their true identities. The training process alone is mind-boggling – five years of intensive preparation where recruits study everything from a country's school textbooks to its cultural nuances.The origins of this program stretch back to the Bolshevik revolutionary movement itself, when Lenin's underground party used false documents and code names to evade Tsarist authorities. After the 1917 revolution, these same techniques were repurposed for intelligence gathering, creating a tradition that continues to this day under Vladimir Putin – himself a former KGB officer who once worked in illegals recruitment.Most surprising is the program's continued relevance in our digital age. Despite biometric passports and advanced verification systems, Russia continues deploying illegals alongside newer tactics like social media manipulation. Walker's nine years of research, including access to the remarkable Mitrokhin Archive of smuggled KGB documents, provides unprecedented insight into this shadowy world where truth is stranger – and often more fascinating – than fiction.

“I am staying.” – Jack Barsky Three words on a dirt road. Three words that ended one life & cemented another. Three words that turned a mission into a calling. Because by the time Moscow ordered this KGB agent home, Jack wasn't just a spy with a cover story. He was a college valedictorian, a successful corporate executive, a father raising a little girl who'd stolen his heart. Piece by piece, he had built a life in America. Not perfect. Not easy. But real. A life that didn't come from forged documents or coded radio signals. One built like any other—by late nights, failed ventures, second chances, & love discovered. So, when the KGB told him to run, he stayed. He chose the life he'd built over the life he'd been assigned. And that's the real story here. Jack's tales of espionage may make headlines, but it's the everyday work of building something that lasts — a business, a family, a future — that defines his legacy. And it's exactly what defines yours. To stay—to keep building, to redefine yourself again & again—that's what sets you apart as an individual & an entrepreneur. Ready for more? Connect with him at JackBarsky.com. Jack proves what C.S. Lewis said best: “Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.”

[AUTOPROMOCJA] Pełnej wersji podcastu posłuchasz w aplikacji Onet Audio. W najnowszym sensacyjnym odcinku raportu międzynarodowego, gościem Witolda Jurasza i Zbigniewa Parafianowicza jest minister koordynator do spraw służb specjalnych Tomasz Siemoniak. Tutaj wkleimy o respiratorach.   Jednym z tematów wywiadu była kwestia tak zwanej afery respiratorowej. W sprawie, przypomnijmy, chodziło o to, że zakup respiratorów powierzono Andrzejowi Izdebskiemu, który nigdy nie miał nic wspólnego ze sprzętem medycznym, za to zasłynął jako handlarz bronią. Był wielokrotnie podejrzewany o nielegalny obrót sprzętem wojskowym. Andrzej Izdebski nie tylko nigdy nie dostarczył respiratorów, ale też znikną z zaliczką, którą wiał na poczet zamówionego sprzętu medycznego. Wkrótce po ujawnieniu afery, niedoszły handlarz respiratorów zmarł w Albanii, a jego ciało zostało poddane kremacji. Ta oficjalna wersja wydarzeń do dziś budzi wiele wątpliwości. Czy Izdebski tak naprawdę nie żyje, czy też może zniknął wraz z pieniędzmi.   Prowadzący podcast Witold Jurasz spytał ministra Siemoniaka o to, czy może potwierdzić ustalenia Onetu, że Andrzej Izdebski był współpracownikiem Polskich Wojskowych Służb Specjalnych. Przy czym, jako ów współpracownik dopuścił się bardzo poważnego oszustwa, jeszcze na długo przed tym, jak przy okazji respiratorów oszukał państwo polskie. Rzeczony handlarz został wskazany przez polskie służby specjalne jako wiarygodny partner dla Stanów Zjednoczonych, dla których miał kupić za amerykańskie pieniądze broń dla syryjskiej opozycji. Podobnie jak w przypadku respiratorów - broń nie została dostarczona, a pieniądze się rozpłynęły.   Jeśli powyższe doniesienia okazałyby się prawdą, znaczyłoby to, że polskie służby, polecając Ministerstwu Zdrowia Andrzeja Izdebskiego, musiały doskonale zdawać sobie sprawę, że mają do czynienia ze złodziejem. Witold Jurasz pytał też, czy prawdą jest, iż w Agencji Wywiadu, która poleciła Izdebskiego, pracowali oficerowie służb wojskowych, przy czym działo się to w czasie, gdy służbom szefował były współpracownik zlikwidowanego już WSI. Rzeczona osoba swoje stanowisko objęła, co tylko dodaje całej sprawie pikanterii, w okresie rządów PiS.   Pozostaje jeszcze jedno palące pytanie - czemu afera ta nie została rozliczona. W odpowiedzi minister koordynator służb specjalnych stwierdził, że powyższa sprawa jest przedmiotem doniesienia do prokuratury i jest jedną z kilku priorytetowych kwestii, o których Tomasz Siemoniak rozmawia z prokuratorem generalnym. Jak stwierdził gość podcastu, sprawa respiratorów dobrze opisuje schemat i niechlubne tradycje działania polskich służb specjalnych, w których dochodzi do pomieszczenia działalności służbowej i prywatnych interesów. Zapytany o to, czy może potwierdzić wszystkie wymienione przez Jurasza fakty, minister odparł, że nie może ich potwierdzić, ale nie może też im zaprzeczyć. Co obydwaj prowadzący podcast jednoznacznie odebrali jako potwierdzenie podanych wyżej informacji.   Przedmiotem rozmowy jest też zatrzymanie polskiego zakonnika przez białoruskie KGB. Prowadzący podcast pytają, czy Polska planuje konsultacje, koordynację, a być może wręcz oddanie inicjatywy w tej sprawie Stolicy Apostolskiej. Prowadzący zadają też jednak ministrowi Siemoniakowi pytanie fundamentalne, czy Polska faktycznie werbuje księży lub zakonników. Tomasz Siemoniak jednoznacznie zaprzecza. Prowadzący podcast pytają też swojego gościa o zniknięcia kolejnych białoruskich opozycjonistów i zastanawiają się, czy Polska roztacza w dostatecznym stopniu opiekę nad przebywającymi u nas działaczy opozycyjnych.   W dalszej części podcastu Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz pytają swojego gościa, czemu nasz kraj zgodził się na przekazanie do Rosji zatrzymanego w Polsce za szpiegostwo Pawła Rubcowa, nie uzyskując w zamian zwolnienia z rosyjskiego więzienia przebywającego tam po skazaniu za szpiegostwo Mariana Radzajewskiego czy też przebywającego w białoruskim więzieniu Andrzeja Poczobuta. Tomasz Siemoniak stwierdza, że Stany Zjednoczone w zamian za Rubcowa przekazały Polsce niezwykle cenne informacje. Przy okazji wątku współpracy ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi Zbigniew Parafianowicz zadał pytanie, czy prawdą jest, że Amerykanie w coraz większym stopniu ograniczają współpracę wywiadowczą z państwami europejskimi, w tym również Polską?   Nie zabrakło również tematu aktów sabotażu dokonywanych przez rosyjską agenturę w Polsce. W tym kontekście wciąż aktualna pozostaje dyskusja, czy powinniśmy odpowiedzieć na te działania w ofensywny sposób.  Witold Jurasz zadał Tomaszowi Siemoniakowi też pytanie o to, czy w służbach specjalnych jest właściwy balans pomiędzy konieczną i potrzebną kontynuacją kadrową, a wyczyszczeniem tych, którzy mają skłonność do nadmiernego wysługiwania się każdej kolejnej władzy. Zbigniew Parafianowicz postaci takie, wywodzące się z polskich służb specjalnych określa mianem piwotalnych członków. Zostaje też poruszona sprawa działalności polskich służb specjalnych za wschodnią granicą. Prowadzący podcast interesują się tym, czy fakt, iż Rosjanie i Białorusini nie są w stanie wyłapywać prawdziwych polskich oficerów wywiadu, tudzież współpracowników polskich służb specjalnych, świadczy doskonałej kondycji naszego wywiadu, czy też rzeczywistość jest zdecydowanie bardzie ponura – nie prowadzimy żadnej znaczącej aktywności za wschodnią granicą.

01:00:44 – RFK Jr. Torches Senate RFK Jr. clashes with senators, calling Maggie Hassan a liar and exposing CDC corruption. He slams pharma influence and cites data showing suppressed autism risks. 01:07:55 – Autism Cover-Up Exposed RFK Jr. details a 2002 CDC study showing black boys had a 260% higher autism risk with early MMR shots—data destroyed by officials to protect pharma. 01:11:10 – Cassidy Traps RFK Jr. Sen. Bill Cassidy forces RFK Jr. to endorse Trump's Operation Warp Speed, calling it Nobel-worthy. RFK caves, exposing his compromise with Trump's ego. 01:16:10 – Senators Bought by Pharma Discussion lists senators pocketing millions from vaccine makers: Warren, Sanders, Romney, Cassidy, and others. Both parties are shown as fully captured by pharma. 01:23:16 – Spike Protein = Bioweapon Listener analysis ties vaccine harms to spike protein's destruction of ACE2, fueling myocarditis, clotting, and turbo cancers. Critics call the jabs a Pentagon-DARPA bioweapon. 01:27:33 – Trump, Gates, and Zuckerberg Dinner Trump dines with Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg at the White House. Commentary frames it as proof Trump embraces technocrats pushing AI, depopulation, and new mRNA delivery systems. 01:51:24 – Tim Kaine: Rights From Government Sen. Tim Kaine claims rights come from government, not God—sparking outrage. Ted Cruz rebukes him with Jefferson's words, while critics tie Kaine's stance to Marxist liberation theology. 01:59:42 – Liberation Theology = KGB Ops Discussion traces Kaine's worldview to “liberation theology,” described as a KGB psyop to destabilize the West. Parallels are drawn to Pope Francis and modern Marxist infiltration in religion. 02:03:47 – DOJ Pushes Gun Ban for Transgender People DOJ considers labeling transgender individuals as mentally ill to strip gun rights. Critics warn it's a Trojan horse for red flag gun laws and Trump-style “due process later” policies. 02:07:47 – Trans Militancy & Socialist Rifle Association Zero Hedge report links trans shooters with the far-left Socialist Rifle Association, whose rainbow-AR-15 imagery echoes recent killings. Hosts warn conservatives are being baited into cheering gun control. 02:17:13 – Trump's Asylum Agenda Trump and Melania push reopening mental institutions and mandatory mental health screenings. Critics warn this echoes totalitarian regimes weaponizing psychiatry to silence dissent. 02:19:54 – John Rich vs. TVA Land Grab Country singer John Rich helps Tennessee locals fight the TVA's eminent domain scheme for a methane gas plant. After massive pushback, TVA cancels plans—framed as a rare grassroots victory against corporate-government overreach. 03:05:52 – Gold Soars on Weak Jobs Gerald Celente joins to discuss gold hitting $3,600 amid dismal job numbers. Weak labor markets signal looming rate cuts, sinking the dollar and driving investors to safe havens. 03:09:12 – Trump's Crypto Empire Exposed Discussion shifts to how Trump's family quietly moved massive wealth into Bitcoin and crypto mining. His stake is now larger than his global resorts, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. 03:12:54 – Dragflation & Debt Heart Attack Celente predicts “dragflation”—declining growth plus surging inflation—as debt tops $220 trillion. Ray Dalio's warning of a “debt-induced heart attack” within three years is echoed as inevitable. 03:14:42 – Gold Goes Digital The World Gold Council prepares to tokenize bullion for global trading. Analysts warn it could wipe out unstable cryptocurrencies and challenge U.S. dollar dominance. 03:26:02 – H-1B Scam & Cheap Labor Conversation turns to H-1B visas, tracing back to Bill Clinton and expanded under Trump and Biden. Both parties are accused of flooding the U.S. with cheap foreign labor to suppress wages. 03:36:02 – Venezuela Strike = Oil Grab Trump's shoot-first policy in Venezuela is blasted as a false “drug war” pretext to seize oil.

He slams pharma influence and cites data showing suppressed autism risks. 01:07:55 – Autism Cover-Up Exposed RFK Jr. details a 2002 CDC study showing black boys had a 260% higher autism risk with early MMR shots—data destroyed by officials to protect pharma. 01:11:10 – Cassidy Traps RFK Jr. Sen. Bill Cassidy forces RFK Jr. to endorse Trump's Operation Warp Speed, calling it Nobel-worthy. RFK caves, exposing his compromise with Trump's ego. 01:16:10 – Senators Bought by Pharma Discussion lists senators pocketing millions from vaccine makers: Warren, Sanders, Romney, Cassidy, and others. Both parties are shown as fully captured by pharma. 01:23:16 – Spike Protein = Bioweapon Listener analysis ties vaccine harms to spike protein's destruction of ACE2, fueling myocarditis, clotting, and turbo cancers. Critics call the jabs a Pentagon-DARPA bioweapon. 01:27:33 – Trump, Gates, and Zuckerberg Dinner Trump dines with Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg at the White House. Commentary frames it as proof Trump embraces technocrats pushing AI, depopulation, and new mRNA delivery systems. 01:51:24 – Tim Kaine: Rights From Government Sen. Tim Kaine claims rights come from government, not God—sparking outrage. Ted Cruz rebukes him with Jefferson's words, while critics tie Kaine's stance to Marxist liberation theology. 01:59:42 – Liberation Theology = KGB Ops Discussion traces Kaine's worldview to “liberation theology,” described as a KGB psyop to destabilize the West. Parallels are drawn to Pope Francis and modern Marxist infiltration in religion. 02:03:47 – DOJ Pushes Gun Ban for Transgender People DOJ considers labeling transgender individuals as mentally ill to strip gun rights. Critics warn it's a Trojan horse for red flag gun laws and Trump-style “due process later” policies. 02:07:47 – Trans Militancy & Socialist Rifle Association Zero Hedge report links trans shooters with the far-left Socialist Rifle Association, whose rainbow-AR-15 imagery echoes recent killings. Hosts warn conservatives are being baited into cheering gun control. 02:17:13 – Trump's Asylum Agenda Trump and Melania push reopening mental institutions and mandatory mental health screenings. Critics warn this echoes totalitarian regimes weaponizing psychiatry to silence dissent. 02:19:54 – John Rich vs. TVA Land Grab Country singer John Rich helps Tennessee locals fight the TVA's eminent domain scheme for a methane gas plant. After massive pushback, TVA cancels plans—framed as a rare grassroots victory against corporate-government overreach. 03:05:52 – Gold Soars on Weak Jobs Gerald Celente joins to discuss gold hitting $3,600 amid dismal job numbers. Weak labor markets signal looming rate cuts, sinking the dollar and driving investors to safe havens. 03:09:12 – Trump's Crypto Empire Exposed Discussion shifts to how Trump's family quietly moved massive wealth into Bitcoin and crypto mining. His stake is now larger than his global resorts, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. 03:12:54 – Dragflation & Debt Heart Attack Celente predicts “dragflation”—declining growth plus surging inflation—as debt tops $220 trillion. Ray Dalio's warning of a “debt-induced heart attack” within three years is echoed as inevitable. 03:14:42 – Gold Goes Digital The World Gold Council prepares to tokenize bullion for global trading. Analysts warn it could wipe out unstable cryptocurrencies and challenge U.S. dollar dominance. 03:26:02 – H-1B Scam & Cheap Labor Conversation turns to H-1B visas, tracing back to Bill Clinton and expanded under Trump and Biden. Both parties are accused of flooding the U.S. with cheap foreign labor to suppress wages. 03:36:02 – Venezuela Strike = Oil Grab Trump's shoot-first policy in Venezuela is blasted as a false “drug war” pretext to seize oil. Comparisons are drawn to Duterte's Philippines and past regime-change coups.

“I became an American & said goodbye to them [the KGB].” – Jack Barsky Sounds like the opening line of a spy thriller. Except this one's real. For a decade, Jack lived undercover in the U.S. as a KGB agent. His mission wasn't excitement. No tuxedos. No martinis. Just the discipline to disappear — and never get caught. And he did it so well that he not only avoided capture — he built a whole new life. A college valedictorian. A corporate exec. A family man no one suspected. Until one day, the story broke on 60 Minutes. That's when Jack faced the choice every entrepreneur knows too well: – Start over. – Reinvent yourself. – Risk failing again & again. He wrote a book that flopped until he rewrote it from scratch. He gave speeches so bad he wanted to “jump in a lake”… and kept at it until Microsoft put him on stage. He built a business that went nowhere — and had the guts to kill it when no one showed up. Every failure became fuel. Every dead end, a redirection. This isn't just a peek into espionage. It's a raw look at resilience, reinvention, & the grit it takes to survive when the plan collapses. Winston Churchill said it best: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Connect with him on LinkedIn

He was a KGB colonel. A double agent. And the most valuable spy Britain ever had. Born into a world of secrets & silence in Moscow Oleg Gordievsky's journey takes us from the waning days of Stalin to his disillusionment with the Soviet system and his defection to MI6. He lived a secret life at the heart of Soviet intelligence — all while feeding classified information to London. From within the KGB's London station, he exposed espionage operations, influenced diplomacy at the highest level, and warned of dangerous Soviet paranoia at the height of nuclear tensions. When discovery loomed, Britain launched one of the most daring escapes in espionage history. This is the astonishing true story of betrayal, conscience, and survival in the darkest shadows of the Cold War.
