The Isles of Scilly were part of one of the longest wars in human history, but the main reason for the length of the very mild conflict was lagging paperwork.

A recent federal indictment unsealed in June 2024 details a sophisticated scheme involving the Sinaloa Cartel and Chinese money launderers in Los Angeles. The indictment charges 24 individuals, including key figures such as Edgar Joel Martinez-Reyes, with conspiracy to distribute drugs, launder money, and operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.This investigation, dubbed "Operation Fortune Runner," revealed that over $50 million in drug proceeds were laundered through an underground banking system linked to Chinese nationals. The money laundering network, based in the San Gabriel Valley of California, processed and concealed large amounts of drug trafficking proceeds, making them accessible to cartel members in Mexico and elsewhere. Methods used included trade-based money laundering, asset structuring, and the purchase of cryptocurrency.The collaboration between U.S., Chinese, and Mexican law enforcement led to the arrest of several fugitives involved in this scheme. This case underscores the growing partnership between Mexican drug cartels and Chinese organized crime groups to launder drug money, which funds the production and distribution of dangerous drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine in the United States.In this episode we take a look at that indictment.

The Index of U.S. Military Strength(Lt. Col. James Carafano) James Jay Carafano is Senior Counselor to the President and E.W. Richardson Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. A leading expert in national security and foreign policy challenges, Carafano previously served as the Vice President of Heritage's Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy. Carafano is an accomplished historian and teacher as well as a prolific writer and researcher. His most recent publication is “Brutal War” (Lynne Reinner, 2021), a study of combat in the Southwest Pacific. He also authored “Wiki at War: Conflict in a Socially Networked World” (Texas A&M University Press, 2012), a survey of the revolutionary impact of the Internet age on national security. He was selected from thousands to speak on cyber warfare at the 2014 South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Conference in Austin, Texas, the nation's premier tech and social media conference. Before assuming responsibility for Heritage's entire defense and foreign policy team in December 2012, Carafano had served as deputy director of the Davis Institute as well as director of its Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies since 2009. His recent research has focused on developing the national security required to secure the long-term interests of the United States—protecting the public, providing for economic growth and preserving civil liberties. (Many of his writings for Heritage appear below.) He is editor of a book series, The Changing Face of War, which examines how emerging political, social, economic and cultural trends will affect the nature of armed conflict. From 2012 to 2014 and 2020 to 2021, he served on the Homeland Security Advisory Council convened by the secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Carafano, a 25-year Army veteran with a master's and doctorate from Georgetown University, joined Heritage in 2003 as a senior research fellow in homeland security and missile defense. He worked with Kim R. Holmes, his predecessor as vice president and director of Davis Institute, to produce Heritage's groundbreaking documentary film “33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age.” Carafano now directs Heritage's team of foreign and defense policy experts in five centers on the front lines of international affairs: the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, the Asian Studies Center, the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, the Border Security and Immigration Center, and the Center for National Defense. Carafano served as president of a nonprofit organization, Esprit de Corps, which educated the public about veteran affairs. In this capacity he co-produced and co-wrote the documentaries “Veteran Nation,” an official selection of the 2013 G.I. Film Festival, and “Why We Fight: 9/11 and America's Longest War” (2018). Before coming to Heritage, Carafano was a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a Washington policy institute dedicated to defense issues. In his Army career, Carafano served in Europe, Korea and the United States. His assignments included head speechwriter for the Army Chief of Staff, the service's highest-ranking officer. Before retiring, Carafano was executive editor of Joint Force Quarterly, the Defense Department's premiere professional military journal. A graduate of West Point, Carafano holds a master's degree and a doctorate from Georgetown University as well as a master's degree in strategy from the U.S. Army War College.

"The current war is the longest, and the most complex in Israel's history since its establishment in 1948. The longest war that Israel was involved with was the Arab-Israeli war in 1948, which started on 30th of November 1947 until the 20th of July 1949". Professor Raffi Mann, reporting to SBS Hebrew, with news and current affairs from Israel (23.2.24)

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on Biden
Director Greg Barker new documentary film, WHITE COAT REBELS, is an urgent wake-up call into the corrupting influence of Big Pharma on the medical profession and the courageous young doctors and students fighting back to improve inequities in healthcare. The film revolves around the direct actions of health professionals seeking to reform a broken health care system. Many of the film participants, including UCLA medical student Neda Ashtari, belong to Universities Allied for Essential Medicine (UAEM). UAEM is a student-driven organization working to improve access to and affordability of life-saving medicines, especially those researched and developed at universities with public funding. Other health professionals featured include: Dr. Michael Fine, Rhode Island's former Health Director, who organizes healthcare on behalf of marginalized communities; and Dr. Danielle Ofri of New York's Bellevue Hospital. Director Greg Barker (The Final Year, The Longest War, Sergio), and Producer Harriet Fraser stop by to talk about the critically important issues surrounding the industry's profit over people ethos and the daunting challenge millions of Americans face trying to gain access to effective, affordable health care.

Satan's plan is to keep people lost and blind to the Gospel. Satan wants to keep man from trusting Christ as his Savior. We are in a spiritual battle. In Part 3 of The Longest War in History, Pastor Cucuzza explains how we can be good soldiers of Jesus Christ and defeat the wiles of the devil.
The Christian life and the spiritual warfare we are engages in is a serious one. The Bible tells us it is for the souls of men. God wants us to be fully equipped and ready for the battle ahead. In today's message, Pastor Cucuzza explains why we are to put on the WHOLE armor of God.
While the war has already been won in light of eternity, it has not been accomplished in real time. So we are in a spiritual war today. Yes, we know the outcome. The war has already been won. But the battle still rages. In today's message, Pastor Cucuzza talks about the battle of the ages as he explains the armor of God.

One of the first people I interviewed for this podcast all the way back on Episode 2 (and 10) was Mike Jeffers. I figured since we did a good job profiling his time in bands two years ago, now would be a great time to check in to see what Mike is up to lately. Right off the bat, I want to say I put this episode together a bit differently than usual. Ordinarily, my guest and I will chat for a few minutes before the interview starts. For this episode, I'm including the entire conversation basically unedited. Mike is a teacher in Buffalo and anyone who has been following the news lately knows that things have been pretty rough there lately. While I have been editing this interview, the Buffalo school district has seen their Superintendent resign. From what Mike was saying in the beginning of our conversation, this definitely seems like a step in the right direction. Our conversation shifts toward Buffalo hardcore and basically stays there for the entirety of our discussion. There has been a lot of new bands sprouting up in Buffalo since the pandemic started so I was definitely curious to get Mike's take on the current state of their scene. Of all the bands Mike is involved in, Juggernaut has been the most active since things started to reopen last year. Mike gives an update on their recent shows and record Hollow Black on Irish Voodoo Records. Mike also gives us a brief update on his other bands Longest War, GOA, and Wrong The Oppressor. Our conversation starts and ends with a discussion on current events. The last current event we talk about is more global than the first. I'm including the links to order the Juggernaut CD Hollow Black from Irish Voodoo Records. There is also a link to listen to or purchase that release from Bandcamp. https://irishvoodoorecords.limitedrun.com/products/713024-juggernaut https://irishvoodoorecords.bandcamp.com/album/hollow-black https://www.enterprisehardcorepodcast.com https://www.patreon.com/EnterpriseHardcorePodcast --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/enterprise-hardcore-podcast/support
As Kim Jong Un continues testing missiles and South Korea warns of a crisis, it seems just like old times. But why? The Biden Administration has not yet restarted serious talks with North Korea and demands of denuclearization is always the mountain standing in the way. The Quincy Institute's Jess Lee joins Kelley & Dan this week to talk about what needs to be done to change the thinking in Washington on this issue, whether Kim Jong Un will ever change his mind on the nukes, and what the U.S. can do to bring peace to the peninsula and perhaps end the longest war in American history. In the first segment, we talk about that massive joint statement signed by China and Russia ahead of the opening Olympic ceremonies in Beijing last week.More from Jess Lee:Peace for Korea -- Plough Quarterly, Jan. 22, 2022 Attacks on possible Korean peace plan are politically and financially motivated -- Responsible Statecraft, Dec. 6, 2021‘Squid Game’ invites Americans to binge on another, human Korea -- Responsible Statecraft, Oct. 22, 2021.

In this episode, Sharon is joined by Emily Kassie, an Emmy and Peabody nominated investigative journalist and filmmaker, to discuss the highly contentious U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan after 20 years. During her career, Emily has covered conflict, abuse, and fracture points in the U.S and internationally for PBS Newshour, the New York Times, Netflix, Frontline, Time, the Guardian, and more. In 2021, she traveled to Afghanistan and smuggled into Taliban territory with fellow PBS NewsHour journalist Jane Ferguson to develop a six-part documentary series called “The Longest War,” detailing the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Emily answers pressing questions about Taliban peace talks, military equipment left in Afghanistan, targeted killings, the history of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, why Kabul fell so quickly, and what life is like under Taliban rule today.

Warrimoo and one of their favorite desserts, pumpkin pie. Listen and enjoy!
The Apaches caused one of the longest conflicts in U.S. history. Their tenacity and resilience to give up their way of life resulted in an all out grudge match for their freedom. In this episode the Loe Bros breakdown what made the Apaches so fierce. What was it about their culture that influenced their warrior mentality? More importantly, how were they able to withstand being conquered for such a long time. It is amazing how many misconceptions there are on Native American history and in this episode, we shed light on what made the Apaches the fiercest warriors in the West.The Apache Wars: The Hunt for Geronimo, the Apache Kid, and the Captive Boy Who Started the Longest War in American HistoryThe Loe Bros History BlogInstacartFREE delivery on first order over $35https://allswellhome.mvvx.net/c/2602920/599204/9824Free Shipping, 10-Year Limited Warranty, 100-Night Risk Free Trial, Financing As Low as 0% APRStart your podcast with Buzzsprout!Start for FREE$20 Amazon Gift Card (sent after 2nd paid invoice)Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/loebroshistory)

Today on Boston Public Radio: Chuck Todd weighs in on the blowback from Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers lying about his vaccination status, and updates listeners on the latest political headlines, including 13 House Republicans voting for the infrastructure bill. Todd is the moderator of “Meet the Press,” host of “Meet the Press Daily” on MSNBC and the political director for NBC News. Then, we ask listeners their thoughts on the floundering state of bipartisanship, and how -- or if -- we should work to bring the country together. Andrea Cabral provides updates on the latest in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, and mob members starting podcasts. Cabral is the former Suffolk County sheriff and the former Massachusetts secretary of public safety. She is currently the CEO of the cannabis company Ascend. Former Army Captain Erik Edstrom shares his experiences in the military, including how he helped get his interpreter out of Afghanistan, and where he thinks the government has gone wrong when it comes to the military. Edstrom was born and raised in Stoughton, Mass., and graduated from West Point and deployed to combat in Afghanistan as an infantry officer. He's also a senior fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network. His latest book is “Un-American: A Soldier's Reckoning of our Longest War.” Then, we talk with listeners about the military-civilian divide, and whether a year of mandatory service would unite the country. Cassie Piuma talks about how her Somerville restaurant Sarma fared throughout the pandemic. Piuma is a multi-time James Beard Nominee for Best Chef in the Northeast and the Chef and Owner of Sarma in Somerville, which was named Boston's Best Restaurant by Boston Magazine. We end the show by talking with listeners about the work-life balance, and if employers should be allowed to contact their employees after hours.
Fareed speaks to former British Prime Minister and current WHO Ambassador for Global Health Financing Gordon Brown about the G20 meeting in Rome and what needed to be resolved on COVID-19, climate change and more. Then, Fareed sits down with Zalmay Khalilzad, Former U.S. Special Rep. for Afghanistan Reconciliation, to discuss the lessons learned from the U.S. withdrawal and the future of the war-torn nation. Plus, Stephanie Kelton, Prof. of Public Policy & Economics at Stony Brook University and author of the book "The Deficit Myth," explains why we shouldn't be worried about the price tags on the Biden bills awaiting votes in Congress. Lastly, Fareed examines how Trump's “big lie” political playbook is being adopted by the president of Brazil as he tries to cling to political power.

In this episode, FSA speaks with Sarasota County Sheriff Kurt Hoffman and Deputy Mubarak. Before recently becoming a member of the sheriff's office, Deputy Mubarak was an interpreter for the U.S. Military in Afghanistan. Deputy Mubarak was born in a rural part of Eastern Afghanistan, and his father encouraged him to become an interpreter for the U.S. Military in 2002. Deputy Mubarak speaks eloquently about the American ideals of family, education and hard work. Learn about the history of Afghanistan, his journey supporting the Marines during America's longest war as well as the difficult time his family recently experienced with the Taliban takeover and his family's treacherous, but ultimately safe, journey to the United States.
For three years the Washington Post fought a legal battle to obtain documents of hundreds of interviews with experts and government officials about the US's longest war, still being fought in Afghanistan.
The chaos that accompanied the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan does not negate the wisdom of bringing the war to an end, despite protestations in Washington about U.S. credibility and the "sustainability" of endless war.

Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast and the Hank Unplugged podcast, asks what will be the fate of American and Afghan allies left captive behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. Tragically, the answer is borne out by history. Recall that precisely seven years ago, Mosul, Iraq fell. Muslim fighters thereafter captured village after village. Men were executed. Women and girls taken as slaves, with the sanction for raping captives issued directly from Allah in the Qur'an. Indeed, the consensus of sharia, in concert with the will of Allah, mandates war as a “religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force” (Ibn Khaldun, The Muqaddimah). The Islamic wars mandated by sharia will continue on as a plague on the landscape of humanity.

The last US military planes have left Afghanistan, Gen. Frank McKenzie, the commander of US Central Command, announced Monday at the Pentagon. The US departure marks the end of a fraught, chaotic and bloody exit from the United States' longest war. President Joe Biden weighed in with a statement later on Monday and thanked the final US forces serving in Afghanistan for executing the "dangerous retrograde from Afghanistan as scheduled," with no further loss of American lives.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

In this episode, Tyler and Jose host an open forum on Afghanistan. A special report called The Gray Zone from USSOCOM (United States Special Operations Command) briefed across agencies characterized the last 100 years of conflict. USSOCOM reported nine losses, 43 ties, and only 12 wins. Increasingly the U.S. finds itself containing conflicts rather than resolving, and enemies adapt in novel ways, making traditional doctrines nearly obsolete. Iraq and Afghanistan are among these 57 instances of conflict characterized in the Gray Zone Report. So what does it mean for the U.S. moving forward? And what does it mean for Veterans and the Operational Community who fought in those conflicts? In this forum, veterans from across the Marine Corps share their concerns.
In this episode, we discuss the history of the United States of America's conflict with al-Qaeda and how previous decisions, dating back as far as World War I, have affected our modern world. We start with some background about the bin Laden family and Osama bin Laden's childhood. Next, we cover the formation of his extremist views and the Afghan-Soviet War. Then we move to the "why" behind his declaration of war against the United States. Lastly, we discuss the long-term effects of bin Laden's ideas and the groups he has inspired.

Is the US Losing Faith in the Military? That was supposed to be the subject this week – and after about 30 minutes, it was. My guests were Coffee or Die Executive Editor Havok Journal founder Marty Skovlund Jr. and Havok Journal owner Charlie Faint. We had a lot of ground to cover with Marty - from the founding of Havok Journal to the latest on his new book - which explains why we took the scenic route to get on topic. But when we got there, we dove in headfirst: why are most parents patriotic up until their kid is about to enlist? Should vets look down on those who never served? How many of the Army's image issues would be eliminated if we just closed Fort Hood? What is the single best tool to eliminate toxic leadership? Marty and Charlie are at the top of their game and have answers to these and so many more questions. Have a listen here. Show Alibis So I asked Marty about Charlie's acronym-ization of the “Havok” in Havok Journal. He answered. And then we moved on without me explaining what acronym Charlie came up with. We had talked about it on the first episode, so this should really be on you for not going back and listening to all of our old episodes first. (Please don't. Seriously, we're so much better than we were two months ago). So, on the off-chance you haven't heard the first episode yet, it stands for “Have A Voice Outside of Killing (HAVOK).” Marty says he leaned into leaving the military for a writing career like Leroy Jenkins. I didn't have enough time to mention that Leroy Jenkins was a fraud. But you should know that by now. It takes me just under a decade to get to Charlie in this week's episode. How he hung on that long, I don't know. Maybe he was delirious from holding his middle finger into the camera for a prolonged period of time. Wayne Knight once said that playing Newman on Seinfeld was challenging because he would only have a few lines an episode, yet he had to make a huge impact every time out. Charlie was our Wayne Knight this episode. Hopefully, he won't ever have to be again. And I won't do anything corny like say, “Hello, Charlie.” But seriously, he was on point. So, while listening to a rough draft of the show, I winced, noticing that I laughed when Marty says that Vanessa Guillen wasn't even the only soldier murdered at Fort Hood that month. Trust me, I don't find anything that happened to her funny. But Marty had a great delivery, and, as I explained on the show, I was thinking of the tepid parents who don't want their kids to enlist hearing this and rolling their eyes in “I told you so's”. What happened to Vanessa Guillen was horrific and so crazily over the top, it's hard to quickly summon appropriate human emotions when her case is thrown into a conversation. We rag a lot on Fort Hood in this episode, but, all joking aside, there is something rotten in the culture there that needs to be addressed, like, yesterday.

When “Operation Enduring Freedom” expires at the end of this month, America's 13-year-old war in Afghanistan won't be over. It will get a new name. With violence and political dysfunction on the increase, “Operation Resolute Support” will keep US troops in combat mission until the end of next year.
