In an age where truth is smothered by political agendas and mainstream silence, today's episode tears through the deception with unrelenting clarity. We start by exposing the tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska, a devoted mother and immigrant, killed on Charlotte's light rail. While corporate media buries her story, voices like Elon Musk and Rep. Randy Fine are sounding the alarm, calling out judges and prosecutors who allow dangerous criminals to walk free. We'll unravel this injustice, confront the double standards, and pose the critical question: what if the victim and perpetrator were reversed? Next, we sit down for an exclusive, in-depth interview with Dr. George Nasr, Associate Professor of Engineering at Notre-Dame University in Lebanon and former technical advisor to Canada's National Research Council. A leading authority on hydrostrategy, Dr. Nasr reveals how control over water and energy—particularly Israel's focus on the Hasbani River and offshore gas fields—is reshaping warfare and geopolitics. His expert analysis of Israel's AI-driven military tactics and the 2024 Lebanon War offers a rare glimpse into the resource wars redefining the Middle East. This is a conversation you can't afford to miss. We wrap with a powerful call to action for every patriot who values justice. Tina Peters, a Gold Star Mom, courageous grandmother and election integrity advocate, languishes in prison for challenging a corrupt system. We're launching a Fax Blast to Congress, demanding her freedom and exposing the chilling precedent her persecution sets. Blending urgent reporting, unparalleled expertise, and bold activism, this episode is an urgent Summons. Get ready—this is Joe Untamed.  

Present political structures, powers, and peoples are better understood through their history. Ussama Makdisi, a historian of the Middle East and distinguished professor at the University of California at Berkeley, has spent much of his research on the formation of the modern Middle East out of the ruins of the Ottoman empire. He now writes on the peace conference of 1919 and its effects on the lands of the collapsing Ottoman empire, including the often-ignored fact finding mission that asked local inhabitants of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine about their own visions of their future governance. The report was quietly shelved, as a story of colonial domination played itself out and the region was carved up between Britain and France. The historical consequences, including the orientalist gaze that depicted Arabs and Muslims as less than human or at least less than civilised second-class citizens seen through a series of stereotypes. This orientalism still dominates Western policy towards the Middle East, Ussama Makdisi argues in this fascinating discussion. Support the show

In this powerful and timely episode, Adam sits down with Olivier Award-winning director-turned-writer Mark Rosenblatt, the creative force behind Giant, the searing and sensational play that explores the genius and the darkness of Roald Dahl. Starring the legendary John Lithgow—who also took home an Olivier for Best Actor—Giant dives deep into the tangled web of brilliance, grief, controversy, and antisemitism that surrounded one of the world's most beloved and most complicated authors. Recorded in front of a live audience in central London to mark the 20th anniversary of The Heart Cells Foundation, this episode celebrates creativity, courage, and the quiet revolution of stepping into your truth. Just three days before filming, Mark received his own Olivier at the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Ewan McGregor and Elizabeth Debicki. In an emotional and honest conversation, he shares what it felt like to be recognised for his first-ever play and the journey that took him from self-doubt to centre stage. Mark reveals how the seed for Giant was planted when Sir Nicholas Hytner casually suggested he might try writing—an idea that sat dormant until lockdown gave him the space to bring it to life. Inspired by his own childhood love of Dahl's stories, and compelled by the writer's antisemitic remarks during the Lebanon War era, Mark began to unpick the moral complexity of Dahl's legacy. Rather than cancelling Dahl, Mark chose to examine him—with empathy, intellectual honesty, and a dramatic lens that lets the audience grapple with their own beliefs. We talk about the emotional weight of writing as a British Jew exploring antisemitism, the tension of launching a controversial play amid the Israel-Gaza conflict, and how Dahl's personal tragedies—from his daughter's death to his son's life-altering accident—informed both his work and Giant itself. With John Lithgow perfectly cast as Dahl (thanks to Hytner's inspired suggestion) and Elliot Levey winning Best Supporting Actor, Giant has become one of the most talked-about plays in the West End. A Broadway transfer is on the cards. This episode is a tribute to the healing power of art, the bravery of reinvention, and the impact of asking bold questions in a world that often demands easy answers.

The debate around widescale child sexual abuse and exploitation continues following calls from the Conservatives and Reform UK for a new national inquiry into the issue. Professor Alexis Jay chaired the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. It took seven years and was published in 2022. It warned of "endemic" abuse across society in England and Wales for girls and boys. Professor Jay has called again for implementation of her 20 recommendations. One recommendation was that those who cover up or fail to report child sexual abuse could face professional or criminal sanctions. The Home Secretary Yvette Cooper last night announced that has said that will be implemented as a new offence this year.

Israel is at war with Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and now Iran. More than 180 Iranian missiles struck Israel on Tuesday. For the last year Israel has carried out a non-stop killing spree in Gaza—that war is now part of a larger regional war in the Middle East.

A federal judge in Washington released Special Counsel Jack Smith's latest filing on Wednesday in the 2020 election case against former President Donald Trump. The 165-page document explains additional evidence that paints Trump's alleged criminal actions as those of a private citizen. Smith filed a reworked indictment in response to the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling. Steven Cheung, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, said the filing was “falsehood-ridden” and “unconstitutional.” Israel struck central Beirut in Lebanon early on Thursday morning, in what was the first Israeli strike on the area since the 2006 Lebanon War. Lebanon's health ministry said six people were killed. U.S. President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that he would not support Israeli strikes on sites related to Tehran's nuclear program in response to Iran's recent missile attack on Israel. Biden is expected to travel to Florida and Georgia on Thursday to survey storm damage caused by Hurricane Helene. The death toll is now above 190, with hundreds more missing. Thousands in North Carolina are still without water and essential supplies. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Following Israel's targeted killing of Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah, the pager explosions, and the ongoing escalation in Southern Lebanon, A'ndre sat down with Dr. Matthew Levitt from the Washington Institute to discuss anything and everything relating to Hezbollah. Dr. Levitt, who wrote Hezbollah: The Global Footprint of Lebanon's Party of God, provides a brief history of the militant group's origins during the 1982 Lebanon War and its linkages to the Iranian regime. A'ndre and Dr. Levitt discuss what power Hezbollah wields in Lebanon as both a militant organization and a political entity, its relationship with the Lebanese government, and public perceptions of the group. The two also talk about the Hassan Nasrallah's death and the state of Hezbollah following the elimination of much of its command structure. Dr. Levitt provides his perspectives on Hezbollah's relationship with Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups, and breaks down the motivations behind Hezbollah's military actions since October 7.

Today is September 19,2024.  Israel has blown up pagers and walki-talkis in Lebanon and is bombing inside of Lebanon.  Hezbollah is firing across the border.  It appears that bad things are afoot.  Alas, I do not have a podcast on the 2006 Lebanon War.  Israelis (and neutral observers) generally see that Israel lost both of those wars, or at least left with serious wounds and its goals not achieved.  It appears that both sides are prepared for an extensively damaging conflict if this escalates. 

Hezbollah is a Shiite Islamist political and military organization based in Lebanon.Formation and Ideology:Hezbollah was established in the early 1980s, inspired by the Iranian Revolution and the Lebanese Shiite community's desire for greater representation and empowerment.The organization's ideology is rooted in Twelver Shia Islam and it seeks to establish an Islamic state in Lebanon and promote the interests of Shiite Muslims.Political Wing:Hezbollah maintains a strong political presence in Lebanon and is part of the Lebanese government. It has several seats in the Lebanese parliament and holds key ministerial positions.The organization operates under the banner of "The Resistance" and presents itself as a defender of Lebanon against external threats, particularly Israel.Military Wing:Hezbollah's military wing is well-armed and trained, with support from Iran and Syria. It has evolved into a powerful paramilitary force capable of conducting guerrilla warfare and missile attacks.The group is best known for its military engagements with Israel, including the 2006 Lebanon War, during which it fought Israeli forces to a standstill.Regional Influence:Hezbollah has played an active role in regional conflicts, including supporting the Syrian government during the Syrian Civil War and participating in the fight against ISIS.It is closely aligned with Iran and receives significant financial and military support from Tehran.Terrorist Designation:Hezbollah is considered a terrorist organization by several countries and international bodies, including the United States and the European Union, due to its involvement in acts of terrorism and violence.(commercial at 7:35)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In the midst of their horrific assault on Gaza, Israel has already started drawing up battle plans for another war – this time with Hezbollah in Lebanon. In this episode, Mehdi exposes the disproportionate Israeli military doctrine that could ultimately kill thousands of Lebanese civilians. Plus, Middle East expert Vali Nasr breaks down what another war would mean for the region. Also on the show, Mehdi asks US Congress Representative Greg Casar about President Joe Biden's asylum ban and Representative Jamaal Bowman's primary loss in New York. Mehdi is also joined by Israeli Historian Lee Mordechai, who recently accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. Israel and Lebanon… Mehdi takes viewers back to the 2006 Lebanon War, when Israel developed the Dahiya Doctrine – a military strategy that aims to intentionally inflict long-lasting and disproportionate damage onto their enemies as a deterrent. “If you think Israel's attacks on Lebanon in 2006 were disproportionate, if the Dahiya doctrine was bad back then, just think how much worse a war on Lebanon will be now that Israel has barely even gotten a slap on the wrist from its Western allies, especially the United States, for inflicting a full-blown genocide on Gaza!” Mehdi said. Middle East expert Vali Nasr pointed out that a war in Lebanon with Hezbollah would also be a great danger for Israel themselves, even if Iran and the U.S. don't get involved. “Hezbollah has proven itself over 40 years to be a ferocious fighting force. It's the only fighting force that Israel has not been able to crack around it,” Nasir told Mehdi.  “Hezbollah is capable of hitting northern Israel in a way that it would become uninhabitable for a long period of time, but if Israel's objective is to enable its population to go back [to Northern Israel], it [a war] will have the opposite effect.”An interview with Rep. Greg Casar…Earlier this month, in what was widely seen as an attempt to address his right-wing critics, US President Joe Biden implemented an asylum ban at the Southern border – one that critics say is straight out of Trump's playbook. Mehdi asked Representative Greg Casar from Texas – a progressive and long-time advocate for immigration reform – what he made of Biden's controversial move. “Republicans have set this sort of trap, and it's the oldest trick in the book – distract from Republicans' failures to govern by picking on whichever vulnerable group… Right now, it's overwhelmingly Venezuelan and Haitian moms showing up desperate at the border,” Casar explained. Mehdi also asked Casar about Representative Jamaal Bowman's historic primary defeat on Tuesday night, after pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC spent 15 million dollars trying to unseat him. “There is a clear message trying to be sent to progressives, but frankly to any member of Congress, that maybe infinite money can come into our elections,” Casar told Mehdi. “I think it's on the Democratic Party to stand up and say…no matter who's spending the money, this can't be allowed anymore because it would change our democracy in a fundamentally disastrous way if this happens at every primary.”An Israeli historian accuses Israel of genocide… Dr. Lee Mordechai, a professor at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has become the latest Israeli academic to accuse their own country of genocide, after an extensive research process that led to an almost 100-page paper with over 100,00 footnotes. “The amount of information that can come out of Gaza is limited. A significant amount of these journalists in Gaza are also being killed. So all this is limited. Nonetheless, I've seen enough evidence, whether by journalists over there, whether by regular people there, and that has convinced me,” Mordechai said. Watch the full show above and, for paid subscribers, be sure to let us know in the comments below what you think of the show and who we should have on next!

This episode will cover the period from 1948 - the year of Israeli independence and the Palestinian Nakba - to the Lebanon War of 1982. It is not meant to be a thorough history of that period, as Fear & Loathing was of the pre-1948 period - to do that justice would require another ten episodes, not just one. This one has a narrower focus. The story we're gonna hear today is not about every figure, and event, and motivation relevant to the conflict, but is specifically about how the level of savagery escalated over the years, the steps by which those escalations occurred, to bring us up to the where we are now, with virtually unrestrained violence completely normalized on both sides. It's not a pretty story, and several sections of this podcast are not going to be for the faint of heart. Please consider subscribing to the MartyrMade Substack page.

Eliot joins Eric from his walking tour in the Cotswolds to discuss the horrifying Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7. They discuss the intelligence and policy failures that allowed Israeli officials to be taken by surprise, the introspection and self-criticism that Israelis had applied in the past when these kinds of things have taken place (the Agranat Commission after the 1973 war and the Winograd Commission after the 2006 Lebanon War). They commend Biden's speech and the White House spokesperson's denunciation of “the Squad's” equivocations about Hamas violence. Eliot previews his forthcoming Atlantic article on civilization vs. barbarism and they speculate on how Israel will proceed and whether we are facing a larger regional war. https://www.timesofisrael.com/egypt-intelligence-official-says-israel-ignored-repeated-warnings-of-something-big https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-israel-was-duped-hamas-planned-devastating-assault-2023-10-08/ https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_briefs/RB9900/RB9975/RAND_RB9975.pdf Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.
