On Today's Show: Prager discusses the moral implications of celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden. He shares reactions from various religious leaders, including a pastor who thinks celebrating bin Laden's death is morally equivalent to celebrating the 9/11 attacks, and a rabbi who believes it's wrong to rejoice at the death of anyone.

Joe Pags calls out Chuck Schumer for a stunning reversal — opposing Trump for not getting Maduro years ago, then attacking him for doing exactly that now. Hypocrisy much? Pags breaks down why this isn't really about Venezuela at all — it's about hating Trump. He also highlights the heated UN hearing with Mike Walz on Venezuela and plays must-hear remarks from Mike Johnson, who publicly backs the president's decision. Then the show goes next-level as Rob O'Neill, former Navy SEAL Team Six operator who participated in the mission that took down Osama bin Laden, joins Pags. O'Neill delivers an inside-the-wire breakdown of how a high-risk operation like Maduro's capture can happen — how the U.S. gets in and out of hostile territory, minimizes casualties, and executes precision missions. He compares the complexities of this operation to past SEAL missions and explains what the public rarely understands about planning, intelligence, and execution. A thrilling, expert, must-hear interview. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
This clip breaks down the rhetorical shift behind U.S. policy toward Venezuela — and why language matters more than missiles. We examine how Washington reframed Venezuela from a collapsing petro-state into a “narco-terrorist threat”, unlocking expanded legal war powers. The centerpiece of that shift? A $50 million bounty on President Nicolás Maduro — a reward larger than those once placed on Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. We unpack how: Criminal language quietly turned into security doctrine “Narco-terrorism” became a legal workaround for extraterritorial force Low-level smugglers are treated like enemy combatants Terror labels disappear when geopolitical utility changes (see Ahmed al-Sharaa) This isn't about defending Maduro — it's about exposing how labels expand power, and why those tools are nearly impossible to put back once normalized. This is Part 2 of our Venezuela series. Part 1 covers the U.S. naval escalation in the Caribbean.

In dieser Folge lassen Christian und Peter ganz kurz das Jahr 2025 revue passieren: Was haben wir alles erlebt: Katja Maria Werker hat bei uns im Laden gespielt und einen Podcast vor Publikum aufgezeichnet. Wir waren in London zu Gast in der KEF Galerie, hatten fantastische Gäste von Mundorf, Elac, Gauder Akustik, dem Bluesmusiker Biber Hermann und vielen mehr zu Gast in unserem Podcaststudio und haben etliche Videos über neue Produkte gedreht. Außerdem haben wir unser Portfolio erweitert mit traumhaften Marken wie dCS und Electric Audio, sind nun stolzer KEF Reference Händler und haben uns bei Themen wie der Raumakustik weitergebildet. Zum Ende des Jahres waren für uns die HiFi Erlebnistage ein absolutes Highlight dank tatkräftiger Unterstützung unseres tollen Teams und engagierten Industriepartnern. Vor allem aber durften wir interessante, nette und musikbegeisterte Menschen treffen: Neue und bekannte Gesichter die das Hobby der "Hörlust" mit uns teilen.

Let's Talk Landscape - Der grüne Podcast von hochC Landschaftsarchitekten
Wenn Andreas Luczynski sagt, dass „der Laden laufen muss“, dann meint er damit seine Mitverantwortung dafür, dass der öffentliche Raum funktioniert. Dahinter stehen viele kleine Aufgaben, die wir als Nutzer*innen zumeist als selbstverständlich erachten. Wir sprechen mit ihm über die alltäglichen Aufgaben, um Sicherheit und Unterhaltung in Parks, Plätzen und Co. zu gewährleisten. Wie kooperieren die Fachbereiche im Bezirksamt miteinander? Wie blickt er auf die Zukunft, wenn Fördermittel sowie Budgets für Pflege gekürzt werden? Wie können auch neue Projekte, z.B. der Umbau zur Schwammstadt umgesetzt werden? Hier berichtet unser Gast von den Erkenntnissen aus dem Projekt Klimaresiliente Hasenheide.Zudem sprechen Lioba Lissner und Luisa Balz mit ihm über Bäume in der Stadt: Was ist der Status Quo? Welche Aufgaben entstehen nun aus dem Klimaanpassungsgesetz?Mit Beschluss vom 3.11.25 hat das Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus das deutschlandweit erste Klimaanpassungsgesetz in Gestalt des "BäumePlus-Gesetzes" angenommen. Dies geschah unter der Vorarbeit und dem Einsatz der Initiative Baumentscheid Berlin, die seit 2023 aktiv ist.Andreas Luczynski hat an der TU Berlin Landschaftsarchitektur studiert, war im Straßen- und Grünflächenamt Mitte als Inspektionsleiter tätig und dann seit 2017 in Neukölln als Gruppenleiter Pflege und Neubau beschäftigt. Nach dem Aufstieg zur Fachbereichsleitung Grün ist er nun seit August 2025 Amtsleitung des SGA. Herr Luczynski war stets Berlin-Neukölln treu, ist dort aufgewachsen und hat seine Diplomarbeit zur Hasenheide geschrieben. Berlin-Neukölln ist die Heimat für etwas über 300.000 Einwohner*innen.Let's Talk Landscape befasst sich mit Inhalten rund um Landschaftsarchitektur und richtet sich an die Fachöffentlichkeit und alle, die sich für Stadtgestaltung interessieren. Unser LeitbildGemeinsam.Nachhaltig.Gestalten führt uns durch vielfältige Themen und bringt uns jeden erstenDonnerstag im Monat zu spannenden Gesprächen mit interessanten Gästen.
Der kleine Laden im Dorf musste schließen. Doch wo früher Brot und Milch verkauft wurden, duftet es jetzt nach Kaffee. Für Autor Ulf Häbel: Ein Hoffnungszeichen.

Oorlogsfilms zet Rob de Wijk nooit aan: „Dat kan ik niet aanzien.” Toch draait zijn hele leven om oorlog. Hij is historicus, maar kijkt vooral naar de toekomst. Misschien juist omdat een groot deel van zijn eigen geschiedenis ontbreekt. Door een ongeluk was hij bijna blind aan één oog en heeft hij geen herinneringen van voor zijn veertiende.Met Pieter blikt De Wijk terug op 2025: „Het jaar dat ons idee van de wereld instortte.” Dat vraagt volgens hem om een cultuuromslag: stoppen met wensdenken en met het moraliserende vingertje. „Je moet er rekening mee houden dat het ongehoord fout kan gaan.”Zijn analyses maken hem impopulair. „Men wil je monddood maken.” Toch vallen de scheldpartijen en haatberichten van „bots, het Kremlin en meelopers in Nederland” volgens hem mee. Hij werd meerdere keren bedreigd, bijna ontvoerd door de Taliban, en ontsnapte net aan een bomaanslag. „Dat calculeer je in.” Het ergste vond hij dat zijn uitspraak over de schuilplaats van Osama bin Laden niet geloofd werd. „Dat heeft mij enorm geraakt.”Heeft u vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

Bill is joined by Caleb Weiss to dissect the recently-viral claim that Osama bin Laden's son, Hamza bin Laden (the one President Trump had previously announced was killed in a U.S. counterterrorism operation several years ago), is alive and secretly leading al-Qaeda from Afghanistan.

Als Bernice Worden aus ihrem Laden verschwindet, kann die Polizei feststellen, wer als letztes bei ihr eingekauft hat. Der 51-jährige Ed Gein ist ein verschrobener Kauz, aber harmlos. Die öffentliche Meinung ändert sich rasant, als bei einer oberflächlichen Durchsuchung seines Grundstücks eine verstümmelte Leiche entdeckt wird. Und dies ist nur der Auftakt einer im schlimmsten Sinn des Wortes unvergesslichen Nacht, die die Ermittler auf dem Bauernhof erwartet.

Seit 2001 berichtet das Fachmagazin GamesMarkt über die Spielebranche: Kündigungswellen, Neugründungen, Preisverleihungen, Release-Übersichten und Interviews - all das waren die Themen der Redaktion für die Website und das eigene Printmagazin. In den letzten Jahren aber kam es zu Umwälzungen dieser traditionsreichen Institution: Erst wurde die Berichterstattung komplet auf englisch umgestellt, dann mussten Redakteure das Unternehmen verlassen, Anfang des Jahres dann droht das Aus. Die Berichterstattung von GamesMarkt war in einer sich verändernden Medienwelt nicht mehr profitabel. Dann allerdings kam es zu einer spektakulären Kehrtwende: Der Linguist und langjährige GamesMarkt-Redateur Pascal Wagner, der Ende 2024 das Unternehmen verlassen musste, kaufte mit zwei Mitstreitern den Laden auf. Gemeinsam renovierten sie die Website, richteten ein neues Abo-Modell ein und versprachen sich, all ihre Kräfte in GamesMarkt 2.0 zu investieren, um wieder grüne Zahlen zu schreiben. Dom Schott hat Pascal inmitten dieser aufregenden Zeit zum Gespräch getroffen. Gemeinsam beleuchten sie die Umwälzungen bei GamesMarkt, wie moderner Spielejournalismus aussehen kann und wie das Team versuchen möchte, ein Urgestein der Branche zu erhalten.

In October 2020, Maxwell formally added Bobbi Sternheim to her defense team. Court filings from that time show Sternheim appeared as counsel for Maxwell in the sex-trafficking case brought by the U.S. government. Sternheim — described in media reports as a “super-lawyer” — had a reputation for handling high-stakes federal criminal cases, including representing an associate of Osama bin Laden in a major terrorism trial.Bringing Sternheim onboard signaled a significant shift in Maxwell's defense. In the subsequent 2021 trial, Sternheim delivered the opening statement. She framed Maxwell not as akin to her former associate Jeffrey Epstein, but as a kind of scapegoat — a “woman blamed for the bad behavior of men.” This reframing was part of a broader strategy: rather than directly challenging all the accusers' testimony, the defense under Sternheim emphasized doubts about memory, suggested motivations of money, and portrayed Maxwell as unfairly vilified because of Epstein. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Happy birthday Neil. He plays the audio from a CBC show The Fifth Estate titled "Conspiracy Theories" about Osama bin Laden, and the Bush family.

Advent, Advent die Hütte brennt: Zumindest in der Bundesregierung. Denn bei SPD und Union sorgt der Streit ums Rentenpaket für so manche böse Überraschung: CDU-Fraktionschef Jens Spahn, der seinen Laden ja schon das ein oder andere Mal nicht im Griff hatte, hat nun die jungen Abtrünnigen zur "Beichte" gebeten. Der satirische Monatsrückblick der NDR Intensiv-Station weiß, wie diese Gespräche abgelaufen sind. Außerdem gratuliert Moderator Stephan Fritzsche dem Kanzler nachträglich zum 70. Geburtstag und schüttelt den Kopf über dessen Vorliebe für verbale Fettnäpfchen. Dazu zieht er eine satirische Bilanz nach einem Jahr Trump und beobachtet besort, die Ausbreitung einer neuen Krankheit: Die Klima-Demenz. Außerdem packt das 1,5 Gradziel aus - oder vielmehr - frustriert ein und bei der Bundeswehr fragt man sich, ob man Babyphones leichter in die Panzer eingebaut bekommen hätte als die bestellten Funkgeräte.

Im Juli und August völlig überfüllt. Im Winter tot. Geht diese Schlagzeile in Sachen Tourismus auf Usedom? Sicher nicht. Das Reiseradio wirft gerne den zweiten Blick und spricht mit Menschen, die das wissen. Heringsdorf im Sommer – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Ausgangslage Schlagzeilen sind gerne etwas „knallig“. Deshalb erreichen sie auch das, was sich ihr Erfinder dabei gedacht hat. Des Öfteren steckt zwar ein Quäntchen Wahrheit drin, die ganz große „Wahrheit“ liefern sie jedoch nicht. Grund genug nachzufragen, wenn Touristiker von Belebung der Nebensaison und von Besucherlenkung reden. Michael Steuer, Geschäftsführer der Usedom Tourismus GmbH – Foto: Usedom Tourismus GmbH Nachgefragt habe ich bei Usedom-Tourismus, als ich von Belebung der Insel in besucherschwachen Zeiten hörte. Die ersten Antworten habe ich von Michael Steuer bekommen. Er ist Geschäftsführer der Usedom Tourismus GmbH. Ja, aber… Wie fast immer, ist an der Sache was dran, aber selbstredend ist es nicht die komplette Darstellung eines Problems und der angestrebten Lösungen. In diesem Podcast reden wir über Ankunfts- und Abreisestaus. Das ist ein Problem aufgrund der schwierigen Verkehrssituation, wenn „Alle“ nach Usedom wollen. Sie konzentriert sich auf die Hauptsaison und natürlich auf Feiertage wie Ostern, Pfingsten und die berühmten Brückentage. Auto Südliche Inselzufahrt: Brücke Zecherin – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Usedom ist eine Insel und hatte bisher nur zwei Zufahrten fürs Auto. Das sind die Brücken in Wolgast und Zechlin. Ein Nadelöhr, das sich im Anschluss auf den schmalen Bundestraßen (B 110 und B 111) eher noch verstärkt. Das mag Urlauber abschrecken. Meist ist es jedoch so, dass sich die Menschen, wie bei anderen Zielen, schlechtgelaunt durch den Stau durcharbeiten. Abhilfe schaffen, benötigt nicht nur Ideen, sondern kostet auch Zeit. Michael Steuer berichtet von den teils geplanten, teils im Bau befindlichen und gerade fertiggestellten Alternativen. Günstig Laden vor der Insel : Station in Anklam – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Zusätzlich ist Usedom bisher noch nicht im Elektrozeitalter angekommen. Lediglich Zwei Schnell-Ladestationen mit je 2 Säulen habe ich ausmachen können (Koserow, Kaufhaus Stolz & Vattenfall, Heringsdorf). Viele Hotels besitzen inzwischen Wechselstrom-Ladesäulen mit 11 bzw. 22 KW Ladefähigkeit. Das dauert dann gerne mal 6 Stunden bis der Akku wieder voll ist. Hier gibt es also noch Nachholbedarf. Bahn Usedomer Bäderbahn in Wolgast – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Früher, ja früher (lang ist's her) gab es mal eine direkte Bahnstrecke von Berlin aus. Die Überreste der Bahnstrecke kann man heute noch am Hafen in Karnin sehen. Es ist der Mittelteil der Bahnbrücke, die Ende April 1945 unnötigerweise von der Deutschen Wehrmacht gesprengt worden war. Bis dahin gelangte man auf direktem Weg in zweieinhalb Stunden nach Berlin. Rest der Karniner Hubbrücke: Gesprengt 1945 – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wie es mit einer schnelleren Bahnverbindung nach Usedom aussieht, steht derzeit in den Sternen. Die Touristiker haben Ideen, erzählt Michael Steuer „off the records“, aber das müsse ja noch nichts heißen. Flugzeug Ferienflug-Winterschlaf: Flughafen Heringsdorf – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Ich gebe es nicht gerne zu, aber wer in Süddeutschland lebt, hat bis nach Usedom per Auto um die 1.000 Kilometer und damit gerne mal 10-12 Stunden Fahrzeit vor sich. Da ist es sicher nicht verkehrt, dass es inzwischen einmal pro Woche (immer samstags) von Mai bis Oktober Flugverbindungen zum „Airport Heringsdorf” gibt (Friedrichshafen – Heringsdorf z.B. 90 Minuten). Ich wollte wissen, was da ging, was künftig geht und ob sich das denn lohnt. In der letzten Saison gab es Verbindungen aus Kassel, Mannheim, Friedrichshafen, Luxemburg, Frankfurt und Zürich. Derzeit ist Winterschlaf in HDF, bis die Saison wieder beginnt. Nebensaison beleben Hauptargument für Usedom, so Michael Steuer, sei die Natur und die sei immer da. An den Strand (wenn auch ohne Baden) könne man auch im November (stimmt und ausprobiert). Das Achterland böte viele Wanderwege und es gäbe auch eine große Zahl von Museen, die geöffnet sind. (stimmt auch und getestet im Historisch-Technischen Museum Peenemünde und im DDR Museum in Dargen). Ja, wetterbedingt gibt es einige Angebote (Beispiel Schiffchen fahren) im Winter nicht. Das historische Kraftwerk Peenemünde – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Usedom habe die höchste Dichte an Wellnessangeboten in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Kulturelle Angebote von Musik über Theater bis zu Ausstellungen gäbe es ebenfalls reichlich. Ferienwohnungen würden immer mehr mit der eigenen Sauna oder einem Kamin ausgestattet. Gastronomische Angebote gäbe es auch überall. Gerade Hotels seien da gute Anlaufpunkte. In den größeren Orten, wie den Kaiserbädern (Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, Bansin) oder Zinnowitz warte ein vielfältiges Angebot. Preisbewusste Angebote Ein wichtiges Argument für die Nebensaison seien auch die Preise für Hotels und Ferienwohnungen. Welche Abschläge kalkuliert werden können, habe ich mir im Podcast erzählen lassen. So viel nur: Das lohnt sich, auch für Familien oder Großeltern mit Enkeln. Wer schon immer mal davon träumte in einem 5-Sterne Hotel abzusteigen, wird eventuell von den Preisen überrascht sein. Travel in Style: 5-Sterne Hotel Ahlbecker Hof – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Hauptsaison mitten in der Nebensaison Wie an vielen Orten, kommt rund um Weihnachten wieder Leben auf. Wer spontan noch eine Unterkunft suche, könne Weihnachten 25 sogar noch Glück haben. Wer allerdings den Jahreswechsel auf Usedom verbringen möchte, dürfte es schwer haben. Bis Januar: Inselglitzern, hier am Kölpinsee – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Der Test folgt Besuchenswert: Die neue Seebrücke in Koserow – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Natürlich war ich nicht auf der Insel, um nur ein einziges Gespräch zu führen. Wenn Nebensaison, dann gleich eine knappe Woche im November. Die Details folgen hier in einem Folge-Podcast noch vor Weihnachten. Seid gespannt. Neben vielen besuchten Angeboten, wird es auch einige Übernachtungstipps (Überraschungen inklusive) geben. Vorweg schon mal: Ich habe weniger erwartet und mehr bekommen.

Donald Trump has escalated military pressure on Venezuela at a speed that should alarm everyone. As of mid-November 2025, the United States has carried out at least twenty-one strikes, killing eighty-three people and leaving only two survivors. Furthermore, there are now an estimated fifteen thousand US troops in the region, including marines stationed offshore and thousands of personnel at bases in Puerto Rico. Europe has remained quiet on this particular topic... we wonder why. We also react to a remarkable Fox Business interview with Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar, who casually frames Venezuela as a terrorist organisation, compares Nicolás Maduro to bin Laden, and claims that invading Venezuela would be good for the US economy. The justifications offered include everything from oil, to Hamas, to Hezbollah, to drug cartels, to protecting American children. What is striking is how easily the language of the War on Terror has been repackaged for a Latin American target.Finally, we discuss the confusion on the Left. After years of calling Maduro illegitimate, parts of the Left now feel compelled to defend him simply because Trump is the one threatening him. This reflex says more about Western political tribalism than it does about Venezuela.This podcast is published with the help of RAIA NOW gUG but is an individual project between the Director of RAIA, Dario Hasenstab, and Balder Hageraats.

There is a straight line that connects Osama bin Laden's destruction of multiculturalism with his 9/11 attacks 24 years ago to today's mainstreaming of racism, particularly in the form of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism.
On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of on Thanksgiving Day! The 9/11 families still lack answers from Saudi Arabia's involvement in September 11th. Mohammed bin Salman's claim that Osama bin Laden used Saudis to destroy U.S.-Saudi relations is crap. MBS says he wants a two state solution with Israel and Palestine but he won't take in one Palestinian from Gaza. Later, NY Post's Miranda Devine criticizes the FBI and Secret Service for mishandling the investigation into Thomas Crooks' attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a 2024 Butler, Pennsylvania rally. An independent source uncovered Crooks' 17 online accounts revealing his ideological shift from pro-Trump supporter in 2019—issuing threats against Democrats—to anti-Trump critic by 2020, with increasingly violent rhetoric advocating terrorism, assassination, and interactions with a neo-Nazi. The Crooks files need to be released. Also, Qatar is pumping tens of billions of dollars into American universities to help the Muslim Brotherhood weaken America and destroy democracy. It's stunning to the extent we are blind to what Qatar is doing. We ignore this at our own peril. Later, CAIR is suing Texas over Gov Greg Abbott's ‘terrorist' designation. Abbott should use this lawsuit to get to the bottom of CAIR's funding. He should counter claim or conduct discovery on all of their contacts, emails, etc. Learn more about your ad choices.

The [CB] is trapped because they never expected Trump’s parallel economic system to be building at lightning speed. Trump is putting everything into place to transition the people from the [CB] which means we will not need the income tax. [DS] has now used one of it’s soldiers to begin the color revolution. The [DS] wants a civil war in the end and they are pushing it. Trump knows the playbook and this is why he took the path of waking the people up and building the counterinsurgency. The people must see who the true enemy is, only when the people see the enemy can we fight the enemy. Trump put all this into place for this moment.

Such an elevated reading has been seen only a few times over the last 35 years. Over the last 2 years, global central banks have cuts rates 316 times, the highest reading in at least 25 years. To put this into perspective, there were 313 cumulative cuts in 2008-2010 in response to the financial crisis. Global monetary policy is easing. Amazing How Central Bank Money-Printing Reversed around the World after the Inflation Shock Balance sheets of the Fed, ECB, BOJ, BOE, and central banks of China, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, and India as % of GDP. The major central banks around the world have been unwinding their balance sheets for the past few years, even the Bank of Japan, which got a late start in 2024. Their balance sheets had swollen to grotesque proportions during the global QE frenzy that started in 2008, and QE-mania during and after the pandemic. But that has been getting unwound. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), an umbrella organization owned by its member central banks, released its latest quarterly data on central bank balance sheets today. We'll look at the decline of the balance sheets of nine major central banks: Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, People's Bank of China, Bank of England, Central Bank of India, Bank of Canada, Reserve Bank of Australia, and the Swiss National Bank. In normal times, central-bank balance sheets, including the Fed's balance sheet, grew with the economy, as measured by GDP; and the ratio of total assets as a percentage of GDP back then was low and roughly stable over the years. Years of QE then caused the ratios to explode. And years of QT have now caused the ratios to shrink dramatically. They're all seeing the same thing: A continued threat of inflation and massive distortions and risks in asset prices, including dangerous housing bubbles that are now deflating in some markets. So they've been removing some of the fuel, to walk back from those risks.

Based on the video clip in the X post you linked, here’s the relevant excerpt from his remarks:“The next couple of years, I think we’ll substantially be cutting and maybe cutting out completely, but we’ll be cutting income tax—could be almost completely cutting it—because the money we’re taking in is going to be so large.”This aligns closely with the claim in the WatcherGuru post. Multiple news outlets have reported on the comments, confirming they are authentic and recent. For context, Trump has floated similar ideas about offsetting or replacing income taxes with tariff revenue multiple times during his campaign and presidency, though experts have questioned the feasibility due to the massive revenue gap (tariffs currently generate far less than income taxes). DOGE Geopolitical Globalist Germany's Firewall Against the AfD Collapses as Half the Country Now Open to Voting for Them For the first time since the party entered parliament about nine years ago, the anti-democratic cordon sanitaire around the right-wing, anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland appears to have cracked wide open. According to the latest INSA/Bild poll, fewer than half of all German voters (just 49%) now say they would “never” vote AfD—down from a staggering 75% only a few years ago, This is nothing short of a historic breakthrough. Despite years of state-funded smear campaigns, constant domestic intelligence surveillance (Verfassungsschutz), court cases, job dismissals, bank account closures, repeated violence against party members by left-globalist extremists, and even serious discussions about banning the party outright, ordinary Germans are finally seeing through the propaganda and recognizing the AfD as the only serious opposition to a failing system.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread: https://twitter.com/TPASarah/status/1994015487135514931 Sarah Adams@TPASarah Lakanwal, from Khost Province, Afghanistan, was a member of two CIA-supported units that operated under the National Directorate of Security (NDS) of the former Afghan Republic. Although these units belonged to the NDS on paper, their support and direction came directly from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He served in Unit 01, a special military-intelligence unit responsible for the central zone provinces (Kabul, Parwan, Wardak, and Logar). His agency training in 2007 took place at CIA's Eagle Base near the Deh Sabz district of Kabul province, a few miles from Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA). Eagle Camp, originally built on an old brick factory site, became one of the CIA's most important counterterrorism training centers in the early 2000s. It trained the CIA-backed NDS units including NDS-01, NDS-02, NDS-03, NDS-04, NDS-KPF, and NDS-KSF, and also housed an ammunition depot and multiple facilities for sensitive operations. When U.S. forces left Afghanistan in 2021, Eagle Camp was among the final sites to be evacuated and demolished. It was later handed over to the Haqqani Network's suicide bomber brigade, the Badri 313. Badri 313 moved the suicide bombers through the gate areas of HKIA for the Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 of our servicemembers and approximately 170 Afghans on August 26, 2021. After completing training at Eagle Base, Lakanwal was transferred to the team supporting CIA's Kandahar Base. The site had a long militant history: it housed Mullah Mohammad Omar from 1994–2001, Osama bin Laden from 1998–2001, and later Camp Gecko from 2002–2021, which was used by the CIA and NDS-03. It served as the headquarters of the Kandahar Strike Force, which led CIA-backed counterterrorism operations in Kandahar, Uruzgan, and Zabul provinces against the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and ISIS. Lakanwal took part in counterterrorism missions alongside U.S. forces in Kandahar. After the attack yesterday on our National Guardsmen in Washington, DC, ISIS channels were the first to praise the incident largely because Lakanwal's half-brother (the son of his father's second wife, pictured left) had been a recruiter for the Islamic State–Khorasan Province (ISKP). His brother, Muawiyah Khurasani aka Hayatullah (pictured below), previously worked with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Orakzai Agency, Pakistan, before formally joining ISKP. He was killed in a targeted operation in July 2022 in Achin district, Nangarhar province. Some ISIS members claimed he was killed by Pakistan's Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), though that remains unconfirmed. After the fall of Kabul in 2021, Lakanwal's unit the Kandahar Protection Force and the Khost Protection Force (KPF) became prime targets for both the Haqqani Network and ISKP, which sought either to blackmail or recruit former KPF members. Recruitment involved persuading them to join voluntarily; blackmail involved coercing them through threats to their families (many were left behind), exposure of past work with the U.S., or financial pressure. Both groups targeted these units specifically because of their close relationships on U.S. soil, particularly with former CIA officers. In addition, both groups, along with al-Qaeda, saw value in impersonating these units. A couple thousand fake documents and ID cards were produced so terrorists could claim affiliation with KPF/01/02 and other special units. This allowed some individuals to fraudulently move through the U.S. evacuation process by exploiting unsuspecting volunteers and taking advantage of weak vetting procedures. We have confirmed that Lakanwal's ID (pictured right) and employment were legitimate, but a full review is recommended, as terrorists have explicitly claimed using this route as a pipeline into the U.S. We cannot keep waiting for Americans to be killed again and again before we act against the Islamist terrorists who have arrived on our soil since 2021. This can no longer fall on the shoulders of a small handful of people sounding the alarm. Every American needs to be engaged: protecting their families, their communities, and our homeland. Please prepare today! https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1993925420329390316?s=20 action force of the AFN who fought directly alongside U.S. Special Forces against the Taliban. In addition, Fox News is reporting that Lakanwal worked with various other government entities from the United States in Afghanistan, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), specifically as part of the CIA-backed Kandahar Strike Force (KSF), known in most intelligence circles as NDS-03, which operated outside of U.S. and Afghan military chain-of-commands directly under the CIA, carrying out covert, clandestine, counterterrorism operations, including night raids and assassinations against the Taliban and al-Qaeda. https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/1993878815349854361?s=20 CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed that to Fox. “In the wake of the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar, which ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation,” CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Fox News Digital. “The individual—and so many others—should have never been allowed to come here,” Ratcliffe continued. “Our citizens and service members deserve far better than to endure the ongoing fallout from the Biden administration's catastrophic failures.” Ratcliffe added: “God bless our brave troops.” https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1994201842750837067?s=20 https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1993882348069552531?s=20 https://twitter.com/CannConActual/status/1993693224196604379?s=20 at a colour revolution. @ColonelTowner and@xAlphaWarriorx have done a good job documenting several. We have been overwhelmingly resistant to these efforts on our homeland through the use of NGOs funding widespread protests and subsequent riots. And as President Trump cut the head off their private sector funding apparatuses (USAID, NED, etc), they are becoming desperate. So they politicized the military, subverted the Constitutional authority of the Commander in Chief, and injected themselves in a chain of command they are NOT a part of. The desperate attempt to execute their plan. This is life or death for the Deep State. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1993886979738460646?s=20 There are three phases to a Color Revolution. It’s important to understand this so you can see how the actions of the Sedition 6 fit into this pattern. PHASE ONE: -Form underground opposition networks. -Create strong slogans and powerful information operations as recruitment tools. -Upon a certain well-coordinated signal, well-funded, well-organized mass protests “spontaneously” appear. -The armed wing of the movement conducts carefully coordinated, precision attacks on certain government infrastructure. PHASE TWO: -Discredit military, security, and law enforcement forces through information operations, coordination with friendly media (Jimmy Kimmel? Talkin’ to you, Komrade Kelly), strikes, civil disobedience, rioting, and sabotage. yOU ARE HER -Occupy civic facilities and refuse to leave until your demands are met. -Strengthen and grow a highly organized logistics support network. -Issue ultimatums to the government, threatening violent uprisings if demands are unmet. The goal is to either have the government acquiesce or engage in violent repression, in each case thereby delegitimizing itself. PHASE THREE: -Overthrow the government in a “non-violent” manner that is actually quite violent. -Open attacks on authorities, seizure of government buildings, destruction of government symbols. -Coordinate media messaging. If the government attacks, media will accuse the government of attacking “peaceful protestors.” If the government makes concessions, it will appear impotent because protestors will not compromise. -Widespread delegitimization of the government is effective in the minds of the populace; the government either willingly cedes power or is violently removed. -The once underground opposition forces’ leadership now seizes control of the government. prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it's eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc… denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won't be here for long!

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the judges in the James Comey case are obstructing the prosecution by granting rare access to secret grand jury information under Federal Rule 6e, despite no evidence of misconduct during the indictment, effectively trying to dismiss the case before trial. The judges continue lecturing the prosecution on alleged faults which create an awful situation. Later, no we are not ready for Michelle Obama to be President.

MBS says he wants a two-state solution with Israel and Palestine but he won't take in one Palestinian from Gaza. The video with Democratic veterans urging the military and intelligence communities to defy ‘illegal orders' from President Trump, without specifying what those orders are is shocking. This is unprecedented exploitation, implying the President is portrayed as a law-violating dictator. Democrats pretend to support the military while slashing its budgets under Biden. A three-judge panel issued a 160-page order blocking Texas's new congressional redistricting plan, alleging it was unlawfully based on race rather than partisanship. In a scathing 104-page dissent, Judge Jerry Smith accused majority judges Jeffrey Vincent Brown and David Guaderrama of "pernicious judicial misbehavior" by denying him adequate time to review and respond, calling it the most outrageous judicial conduct he had encountered in 37 years. Smith argued the redistricting was driven by partisan gain, not racial animus, dismantling the majority's claims as deceptive, misleading, and factually erroneous. Learn more about your ad choices.

This find allows the U.S. to wean off China's rare earth minerals. Afterward, all of the so-called Epstein files will be released.

Matt Bissonnette is a former United States Navy SEAL known for his participation in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, as detailed in his bestselling book No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama bin Laden (2012), written under the pen name Mark Owen. A DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six) operator, Bissonnette served multiple combat deployments and was one of the SEALs who entered bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The book, which became a New York Times bestseller, sparked controversy for not being cleared by the Pentagon, leading to a 2016 settlement where Bissonnette agreed to forfeit royalties and speaking fees. He has since advised on the CBS series SEAL Team (2017–present) and maintains a low public profile.

Tucker Carlson's interview with controversial right-wing podcaster Nick Fuentes has snowballed into a bigger conversation that has everyone asking: Does the Right have a serious issue with antisemitism? Victor Davis Hanson explains how conservative icons like William F. Buckley once handled extremists, contrasts that with today's platforms, and explores why some on the right are now flirting with the same rhetoric on Israel that echoes left-wing sentiments. How should the conservative movement handle this divide? Hanson breaks it down on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “I think the reason for the rise of antisemitism is an element, the isolationist base of the MAGA movement, felt that it was the driving force and that it was going to be isolationist and we were not going to get involved in the Middle East. And they were very suspicious of so-called, what they call neocons and what they call Christian Zionists. As Tucker said, he hates Christian Zionists over any other people. Even bin Laden? Al-Qaeda? ISIS? I don't know. But they were losing influence. Donald Trump proved that he is not a neoisolation. He's a Jacksonian. Targeted strikes to preserve and enhance U.S. deterrents.” (0:00) Introduction (0:59) The Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes Interview (1:32) The Rise of Right-Wing Antisemitism (7:44) Left-Wing vs. Right-Wing Antisemitism (9:17) The MAGA Movement and Isolationism (11:09) The Importance of the U.S.-Israel Alliance (14:14) Conclusion
Son muchos los que están convencidos de que el Gobierno estadounidense ya ha decidido atacar Venezuela. Desconocemos si es cierto, pero si sabemos que en estos momentos hay un despliegue naval en el Caribe que no tiene precedentes desde la crisis de los misiles de 1962. La armada estadounidense ha posicionado 10 buques de guerra, 10.000 efectivos y el portaaviones Gerald Ford, el más grande y moderno del mundo. Según el presidente de EEUU semejante dispositivo se justifica por el papel de Venezuela como centro neurálgico del llamado "Cártel de los Soles", un cártel dedicado al narcotráfico que controla directamente el ejército venezolano. Pero, aparte de la caribeña, hay otras rutas por las que las drogas se abren paso hasta el mercado norteamericano y es sólo en el Caribe donde se ha realizado un despliegue de estas características. Es obvio, por lo tanto, que la Casa Blanca quiere algo más de naturaleza política como derrocar a Nicolás Maduro. Eso posibilitaría interrumpir el suministro de petróleo venezolano a Cuba y con ello debilitar al régimen castrista. La operación recuerda a una propuesta del ex asesor de seguridad nacional John Bolton allá por 2019 que no se llevó a la práctica. Ahora Marco Rubio, secretario de Estado, la ha recuperado y parece que quiere ir hasta el final. Rubio es de origen cubano y tiene una motivación personal para acabar con el régimen castrista, algo que ha perseguido desde sus inicios en política. A diferencia de lo que sucedió hace seis años, Rubio ha conseguido llegar mucho más lejos. El despliegue naval es sólo una parte de la operación en la que participa también la CIA y un regimiento de operaciones especiales, el 160, bien conocido por haber liquidado a Osama bin Laden. El objetivo es, por lo tanto, doble: acabar con Maduro y asfixiar a Díaz-Canel cortando el suministro de crudo venezolano. Desde 1999 Venezuela y Cuba intercambian petróleo por servicios médicos cubanos, pero la cooperación ha disminuido desde 2016 debido a la caída de la producción petrolera venezolana y los problemas económicos que atraviesa el país. Actualmente Cuba recibe unos 32.000 barriles diarios, sólo una tercera parte de lo que recibía en los años dorados de Hugo Chávez. Esto ha reducido la dependencia cubana, que ahora importa petróleo a precio preferente de México y Rusia. De este modo, incluso sin petroleo venezolano, la economía cubana podría resistir. El régimen es experto en administrar la miseria y, aunque las cosas están peor que nunca, el castrismo sigue reteniendo el poder sin apenas oposición en el interior. De hecho la pobreza refuerza el discurso oficial de un bloqueo inclemente por parte de Estados Unidos. Trump, asesorado por Rubio, seguramente evite una intervención directa ya que implicaría el riesgo de que esa intervención derive en una guerra asimétrica al estilo de las de Oriente Medio. En su lugar podrían optar por un golpe interno, operaciones encubiertas o presión militar para forzar la salida de Maduro. Hasta la fecha nada de eso ha funcionado ni en Cuba, ni en Venezuela, dos países en manos de sendas bandas criminales que resistirán lo que haga falta para no perder el negocio.

8. The Triumph, the Skepticism, and the Legacy of the Sisterhood Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Even with high-level attention on the bin Laden compound, the targeters faced continued doubt and hesitation from senior operational leadership, a symptom of the CIA's humiliation over 9/11 and the bad intelligence regarding WMDs in the Iraq War. Nevertheless, the "ground-level targeters" were "very close to 100% confident" in their precision, using detailed aerial imagery analysis, including counting the laundry on the line, to determine the number of people and families inside the compound. When the SEALs raided the compound, they were astonished by the precision of the targeters' intelligence. In retirement, key figures like Barbara Sude and Heidi August continued their lives. The women later gathered at a writers' retreat for a cathartic moment, drinking wine and reading aloud the memoirs of the men they had worked for, often "shouting with frustration." The book also notes that the character of Maya (from Zero Dark Thirty) was based on a single woman who left the agency unpromoted.
4. The Birth of the Counterterrorism Center and Early Warnings of Bin Laden Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Following the Cold War, the CIA lacked a clear mission. However, a terrifying series of terrorist incidents in the mid-1980s, including the 1985 Malta hijacking handled by Heidi August, led to the formation of the small, low-prestige Counterterrorism Center (CTC). Heidi, traumatized after calling the mother of a dead civilian victim, chose to devote her career to fighting terrorism. The CTC, located in an undesirable office, attracted an odd assortment of people, including future key figures like analysts Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude. Cindy Storer, initially relegated to the Afghanistan desk, was the first to recognize the threat posed by Arab jihadist fighters dispersing globally and being funded by a mysterious financier: Osama bin Laden. Despite gathering critical intelligence, the CTC's analysts (Directorate of Intelligence—DI) struggled to be heard, facing contempt from the clandestine spies (Directorate of Operations—DO) and difficulty publishing their findings due to required corporate buy-in.
5. Alex Station, the Virtual War on Al-Qaeda, and the Struggle for Presidential Attention Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Following the 1993 World Trade Center attack and the fatal shooting of two CIA officers, the Counterterrorism Center created "Alec Station" (named after a CIA officer's son). Alec Station was a "virtual station" created during a period of CIA resource loss ("peace dividend"). It represented a novel collaboration of analysts and clandestine operatives working in the headquarters basement to track and understand Osama bin Laden's network. Women analysts, including Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude, developed new skills in "manhunting" and targeting, sometimes directing field operatives. Cindy Storer recognized that al-Qaeda was a meticulous worldwide organization, not a mere confederation. However, the group's key struggle was gaining traction: they faced resistance from senior leaders (like those on the Soviet desk who feared losing funding) and could not consistently persuade editors to include their warnings about bin Laden in the President's Daily Brief (PDB).
6. The 9/11 Failure and the Cold War Mindset Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Leading up to 9/11, the women of Alec Station had been repeatedly warning that al-Qaeda had the capability to attack the United States. On 9/11, the CIA learned of the attacks via CNN, confirming the women's "sick inevitability." While CIA Director George Tenet evacuated the headquarters due to the threat of a plane attack, the Counterterrorism Center staff remained at their posts, working 24/7 to prevent a second wave. The women faced a reckoning afterward, being blamed for failing to connect the dots, despite previous internal struggles to get their analysis published. Adding to the difficulty, the incoming Bush administration, composed largely of "Cold Warriors," struggled to recognize a stateless terror organization as a legitimate, existential threat, focusing instead on traditional state adversaries with armies and capitals. Furthermore, historical failures like the Waco incident made the Clinton administration hesitant to approve operations against bin Laden due to fears of collateral damage.
7. Targeting and Tragedy: The Death of Jennifer Matthews and the Courier Hunt Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA In the post-9/11 era, finding bin Laden became the CIA's primary targeting task. Jennifer Matthews, a dedicated member of Alec Station since the mid-1990s, was chief of station at Khost, Afghanistan, providing targeting information for drone attacks. In 2009, Matthews and several other CIA officers were tragically killed when a source they believed would lead them to bin Laden revealed himself to be a suicide bomber (sent directly from bin Laden). This galvanized the hunt. Since bin Laden avoided 21st-century technology, targeters like Rachel and Maya (pseudonyms) had to develop methods to trace him indirectly. This involved sifting old data, using new technology, and tracing the human relationships of his couriers—the people who used technology and communicated with the inner circle. They ultimately identified Ibrahim Saeed Ahmed, bin Laden's courier and bodyguard, and began tracking his movements.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk They frame Kirk’s death as a political assassination, comparing it to historical killings of JFK, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The hosts emphasize concerns about political violence, the dangers of polarization, and left-wing reactions online. They highlight messages of unity from unexpected voices on the left, such as Cenk Uygur, while contrasting that with those celebrating Kirk’s death. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Cruz details violence by Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa, citing statistics of tens of thousands of Christians killed and thousands of churches destroyed. He introduces the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which seeks to: Classify Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” for religious freedom. Keep Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa labeled as terrorist groups. Sanction Nigerian officials complicit in persecution. The discussion connects this to broader issues of U.S. foreign policy, criticizing past administrations (especially Obama and Biden) for not doing enough to defend persecuted Christians. Tucker Carlson’s controversial statements Carlson’s remarks about offering condolences to Osama bin Laden’s family, questioning Hamas’s designation as a terrorist group, and sympathetic portrayals of Russia and Iran are strongly criticized. Cruz and Ferguson accuse Carlson of moral relativism, equating his views with those of progressive politicians like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. They reaffirm that groups like Hamas, al-Qaeda, and ISIS are terrorist organizations, citing both U.S. and international designations as well as historical attacks.

Alleged Targeting of Christians by the Biden Administration The discussion focuses on a task force created under former President Trump, chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi, which claims to have uncovered numerous instances of anti-Christian bias within federal agencies during the Biden administration. The report accuses agencies like the Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Labor, and others of mishandling or denying religious exemptions, imposing large fines on Christian universities, targeting religious groups through the DOJ and FBI, and showing favoritism toward non-Christian religions. Cruz and Ferguson frame this as government “weaponization” against Christians, emphasizing violations of First Amendment rights and calling for accountability, firings, and possible prosecutions. Criticism of Tucker Carlson’s Recent Positions The second half shifts to sharp criticism of Tucker Carlson, arguing he has become increasingly extreme and “unrecognizable.” They cite his comments about offering condolences to Osama bin Laden’s family, questioning whether Hamas is a terrorist group, and sympathetic tones toward authoritarian leaders like Putin and the president of Iran. Cruz and Ferguson strongly denounce these stances as “bizarre,” “unhinged,” and morally wrong, stressing that groups like Hamas and leaders like bin Laden should unequivocally be condemned. They frame Carlson as betraying conservative principles and aligning with rhetoric from figures like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib, which they see as evidence of his spiral away from mainstream conservatism.
