Lee Stranahan, Republican radio host, journalist and former Breitbart reporter once thought that his peers at Breitbart - Joel Pollak and Ben Shapiro - are typical of observant Jews' attitude toward Israel, and that anti-Zionism was “a leftist thing,” directly tied to one's position in the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Then one day, Lee watched a video of Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro and close to 20,000 Orthodox Jews opposing Zionism as wholly un-Jewish and rooted in anti-Semitism. Judaism to these devout Jews is a religion, not a nationality, and there is no such thing as a “nation-state” of the Jews, or Jewish nationalism (aka Zionism). This struck a chord with Lee and led him as a journalist to investigate further into the masses of mainstream Orthodox Jews who reject Zionism, and whose anti-Zionist activity is ignored by the mainstream media. His search led him to astounding revelations about the origins and ideology of Zionism, and to the discovery of a whole world of Orthodox Jews, who, independent of Israel's politics, refuse to tie their Jewish identity to any political construct – and certainly to a foreign country. This is Lee's story, Part 1.

On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan discussed US economic concerns, worsening US unemployment, Hunter Biden's awkward relationship with Ukraine and details emerging surrounding the HSBC money laundering scandal.GUESTSDr Linwood Tauheed - Associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City | US Economy, Unemployment Numbers, Supply and Demand EconomicsLee Stranahan - Sputnik News analyst and Host of The Back Story | Hunter Biden, Ukraine, FinCen, HSBCIn the first hour, the hosts discussed the potentially fatal error on the part of the Biden campaign in overlooking a specific segment of the population. They go on to discuss the importance of the Democrats having a well crafted, all-encompassing approach to attract more voters' support as opposed to shaming them into supporting Joe Biden. In the second hour, the hosts have a conversation with Associate professor of economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Dr Linwood Tauheed. They discuss an apparent stall in economic recovery in the US, a number of causes behind the stall, solutions for getting it moving and the possible consequences of not resorting to more drastic measures than what have been implemented so far. In the last hour, Sputnik News analyst and Host of The Back Story, Lee Stranahan, talks with the guys about a recent Senate report that is purported to be the result of an investigation into the very awkward circumstances surrounding Hunter Biden's relationship with Ukraine.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan discussed a variety of issues, from Joe Biden's speech at the virtual DNC to the arrest of Steve Bannon to the economics of COVID-19 as it continues to hit the wallet of Americans. GUESTSPeter LaVelle - Host of CrossTalk on RT, American journalist | Are Both Political Parties Hopeless?Lee Stranahan - Investigative Reporter, host of Populist.TV, director of Citizen Journalism School | Steve Bannon ArrestDanny Haiphong - Contributor to the Black Agenda Report and Co-Author of American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People's History of Fake News | What Will It Take For the Left to Ditch the DNC?Dr. Linwood Tauheed - Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City | Trump's COVID-19 Executive OrdersIn Jamarl's first hour monologue, he said that the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, managed to meet the very low bar they set for his acceptance speech. Then Shane and Jamarl were joined by Peter LaVelle, who discussed the Democratic Convention and agreed that while Joe Biden did not screw up his acceptance speech at the virtual DNC, it lacked any important substance. Peter said he expected no better from the Republican Convention coming up next week and that neither party seems to want to deliver on the populist promises that they make in order to get elected. LaVelle also pointed out his disappointment in Donald Trump for an inability to deliver on promises and said that he thinks both political parties in America are more accountable to the donor class than they are to the people.In the second hour, the hosts were joined by investigative journalist Lee Stranahan, who discussed his relationship and that of other Breitbart reporters to Steve Bannon, who was arrested yesterday and faces fraud charges along with three others. Lee said that Bannon treated employees badly and also that his own personal politics seem inscrutable and tied more to the pursuit of money than any ideological position. He also gave details of the We Build the Wall project that is at the heart of Bannon's fraud indictment and said Bannon took over the project after it began making money.Then the hosts were joined by Danny Haiphong, who said that as a leftist, he thinks it is time for the progressive and socialist left to abandon the dream that they are going to significantly change American politics through the Democrat party. Danny pointed out the Democrats go so far as to criticize people who belong to other parties, such as the Green Party, for not voting Democrat. Danny said real political change in America only comes through street action and that it's time for the left to reconsider its strategy.Then in the third hour, Dr. Linwood Tauheed said that while he is not a Trump supporter, he believes that Trump's announcement of executive orders to deal with Congressional inaction on economic issues caused by COVID-19 was a brilliant political move. He pointed out that since Trump announced a $300 / week extension with money from a FEMA fund, over half of US states have already signed up for it. They also discussed the irony of Trump's older base opposing Social Security reform.

On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan discussed issues ranging from the latest impasse on a new stimulus bill to new developments in the deadly Beirut explosion to the origins of Russiagate.GUESTSManila Chan - TV Reporter for RT America | COVID-19 & SchoolLaith Marouf - Award-winning Multimedia Producer and media policy/law consultant | Live From BeirutLee Stranahan - Investigative Reporter, host of Populist.TV, director of Citizen Journalism School | Russiagate, Strobe & the ShearersIn the first hour, Shane and Jamarl talked with Manila Chan about plans to send children back to school nationwide amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Manila discussed plans some have to treat children ages 10 and under differently from older children. They also talked about the risk not just to school children, but also to teachers, administrators, and other school staff. Manila argued that teachers should be allowed to take leave time if they are concerned about the risk of infection. In the second hour, Shane and Jamarl talked to Laith Marouf about the aftermath of the explosion in Beirut and made statements that the devastation may have been the result of an attack. They also discussed how the explosion exacerbated problems for Beirut citizens, who are already impacted by the weakened Lebanese economy and political turmoil. Adding to the problems, Lebanon is having to deal with sanctions imposed by the United States, and the explosion at the port is having a major impact on the ability to get vital goods into the country.In the third hour the hosts were joined by investigative journalist Lee Stranahan who discussed the latest developments in the Russiagate scandal. Stranahan described the long relationship between Bill and Hillary Clinton, members of the Shearer family, and Clinton's Oxford roommate Strobe Talbott. Cody Shearer created the dossier that became the basis for the Steele dossier and Derek Shearer was an advisor for Ziff Brothers Investments, who were at the heart of the Trump Tower meeting allegations. Stranahan argues that these connections show Russiagate was largely a Clinton operation.

21WIRE's Patrick Henningsen joins Fault Lines Radio hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan on Monday morning DC/KC drive time: Henningsen on the current COVID-19 crisis response as governments around the world order social and economic shutdowns: "This a complete paradox. There’s ‘no money’ for mass testing to ascertain the true fatality rate…because if you don’t know the true fatality rate, you don’t know the severity of the crisis. This is a real watershed moment for modern society right here. Is government fit for purpose? Is the “cure” much more painful than the disease?" *** This segment was clipped from the March 16, 2020 live broadcast: https://21w.co/faultlines-16Mar2020

We analyze these calls and discuss the points we raised as well as the reactions to the calls. -The opening clip is from an interview conducted by Lee Stranahan with John Kiriakou in which they take a derisive tone towards 9/11 'truthers,' particularly Kiriakou saying that people want him to blame space aliens for 9/11.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan highlight their New York Times article on the front page of the website. The article describes the show as Russian propaganda.Guests:Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro - Speaker & Author | Judaism, Israel, and ZionismTyler Nixon - Legal Counsel to Roger Stone | Roger Stone SentencingMark Frost - Economist, Professor, Consultant, Drummer | Supply Chain Disruptions due to the CoronavirusLucy Komisar - Investigative journalist focusing on corporate and financial corruption | Pete ButtigiegJudaism is an ethnic religion but many people treat it as a race. Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro comes back on the show to give his perspective on the complex relationship between Judaism, Israel, and Zionism.The Roger Stone case is personal to host Lee Stranahan. President Trump intervened in the sentencing and tweeted his opinion on the case. This led to a ripple effect. Legal counsel to Roger Stone Tyler Nixon gives us an update.There are a lot of things going on in the global economy today. There is the coronavirus, record share prices, game-changing mergers and acquisitions, and President Trump. Economist Mark Frost explains what he sees in the markets.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Medea Benjamin, a well-known peace activist and the cofounder of the peace group Code Pink.A bipartisan bill that would limit President Trump’s ability to wage war against Iran is likely to pass in the Senate. The resolution is sponsored by Virginia Democrat Tim Kaine, and in a procedural vote on Tuesday, gained the support of all Democrats and eight Republicans, including Senator Rand Paul, a Trump confidant. Kaine says that the measure is an important reassertion of Congress’s power to declare war, but still voted with the vast majority of senators to approve a higher military budget than President Trump asked for. Troy Price, the chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party, resigned yesterday in the aftermath of the vote-counting debacle that shook the presidential caucus more than a week ago. And it wasn’t just the failure of a vote-counting app that forced Price out. The caucus was also rife with counting errors and inconsistencies that could still affect the outcome of the race. Dan Kovalik, a human rights and labor lawyer who is the author of the book “No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using 'Humanitarian' Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interests,” joins the show. The New York Times today published a stridently anti-Sputnik article accusing the network of “agitprop,” or agitation propaganda, and saying that we are spreading that propaganda through our new sister station in Kansas City, Missouri. The Times specifically criticizes our colleagues Lee Stranahan of the morning show Fault Lines, and Sean Blackmon of the afternoon show By Any Means Necessary on completely spurious grounds. Brian and John speak with Mindia Gavasheli, editor-in-chief of Sputnik News’ bureau in Washington, D.C. President Trump has conditionally approved a peace deal with the Taliban that would withdraw the last remaining troops in that country, in exchange for a Taliban promise to reduce violence over a test period of seven days to be held later in the month. If the Taliban do reduce hostilities, the US will begin to gradually withdraw troops, and the Taliban and Afghan government will begin negotiations over the future of the country. Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Non-Violence, joins the show. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has implemented a minor cabinet change, replacing the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Paymaster General, and the Northern Ireland Secretary. More interestingly, though, the head of the BBC warned that the government’s intention to slash the broadcaster’s budget would embolden what he called “democratic disruption” by Russian and Chinese media outlets and even, God forbid, by Fox News. Neil Clark, a journalist and broadcaster whose work has appeared in The Guardian, The Week, and Morning Star, joins Brian and John. Thursday’s weekly series “Criminal Injustice” is about the most egregious conduct of our courts and prosecutors and how justice is denied to so many people in this country. Paul Wright, the founder and executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center and editor of Prison Legal News (PLN), and Kevin Gosztola, a writer for Shadowproof.com and co-host of the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure, join the show.A regular Thursday segment deals with the ongoing militarization of space. As the US continues to withdraw from international arms treaties, will the weaponization and militarization of space bring the world closer to catastrophe? Brian and John speak with Prof. Karl Grossman, a full professor of journalism at the State University of New York, College at Old Westbury and the host of a nationally aired television program focused on environmental, energy, and space issues.

01022018 Fake news. A phrase that was once tied to tabloidesque style super market papers has now become a common staple in today's lexicon. Like many elements that unfortunately flood our daily routines, this has turned to a point to where we now just gloss over when we hear the term. Seeking to combat the ever failing reputation of media, the guest on this week's episode of The Malliard Report has been a pioneer and trail blazer for the citizen journalist movement that is quickly gaining hold in this seemingly turbulent time.This week Jim welcomes to the show Lee Stranahan. Lee is an American journalist, talk show host, and advocate for citizen journalism. Hosting a show on the Russian owned Sputnik new agency, Stranahan was originally picked up by the network after being let go by Breitbart for covering the controversies surrounding the Chobani yogurt company and their usage of Syrian refugee workers harboring tuberculosis and numerous sexual assault cases.Originally moving to Los Angeles to work as a television producer and graphic artist, Lee made his way into reporting during the 2007/2008 writers guild strike. Having started out by making political parody videos on YouTube poking fun at prominent figures of the time (Mitt Money, Rudy Giuliani, etc.) he quickly gained interest and was soon picked up by the Huffington Post. While his edgy humor was the catalyst for his quick success, it was not looked upon as fondly by HuffPo and Lee soon found himself in the circle with Andrew Breitbart. After a handful of firings/rehirings and disputes over his stance on  the death of Alton Sterling, Lee parted ways with Breitbart and is now co-host of Fault Lines on Sputnik Radio.The passion for citizen journalism is very evident within Lee and this is a really great episode.
