Am 27. Mai hatte der Generalbundesanwalt Häuser, Wohnungen und Büroräume von Mitgliedern des Vereins „Friedensbrücke – Kriegsopferhilfe e. V.“ in Berlin und Brandenburg wegen des Vorwurfs der „Unterstützung terroristischer Vereinigungen im Ausland“, gemeint sind damit die Donbass-Republiken Donezk und Lugansk, untersuchen lassen und Haftbefehle ausgestellt.

Hoy comenzamos hablando sobre la propuesta de Rusia para negociar un alto el fuego: la retirada ucraniana de los oblast de Jerson, Zaporiyia, Donetsk y Lugansk. Si no se acepta la propuesta, advierte Putin, la próxima vez que hablen ya habrán conquistado Odessa, Nikolaiev, Dnipro y Jarkov. Las negociaciones de paz para la guerra de Ucrania se ponen difíciles. También hablamos sobre la tregua en la guerra arancelaria que ha desatado Donald Trump y que supondrá una reducción de los aranceles mutuos entre China y Estados Unidos. Además, analizamos el acuerdo comercial al que han llegado EEUU y Gran Bretaña. También hablamos sobre el silencio informativo respecto al gran apagón y la ausencia de un debate tanto sobre el modelo de producción de electricidad español como sobre la titularidad de Red Eléctrica Española. Por último, analizamos los resultados electorales en Portugal. Con Carlos García, Íñigo Molina y Jorge Amar. Conduce Juan Carlos Barba.

Hätte man früher verhandelt, wäre die Position der Ukraine noch stärker gewesen, sagt Alexander Rodnyansky im Gespräch mit Tessa Szyszkowitz. Der Ökonom, bis Ende 2024 Wirtschaftsberater von Präsident Wolodymyr Selensky, hält außerdem den US-Deal zum gemeinsamen Abbau für seltene Erden für eine Finte – und zwar eine Finte der Ukraine.Und: Der Wiederaufbau wird vor allem für das Land teuer, das die zerstörten Gebieten Donezk und Lugansk bekommt. Vermutlich also Russland. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trupele ucrainene au început o ofensivă în regiunea rusă Belgorod. Președintele Volodimir Zelenski a explicat că această acțiune are ca scop protejarea regiunilor ucrainene Sumî și Harkov, de la frontiera de nord-est cu Rusia. Care mai este situația pe front? În ce măsură e posibilă o încetare a focului în viitorul apropiat? Am întrebat-o pe Angela Grămadă, cercetătoare a spațiului ex-sovietic, președinta Asociației Experți pentru Securitate și Afaceri Globale. Angela Grămadă: „Sînt tot mai multe declaraţii ale experţilor care confirmă că în prezent cea mai puternică armată pe teritoriul continentului european este cea ucraineană. Care are şi aproape un milion de oameni înrolaţi. Ei au experienţa luptei pe teren, au fost pregătiţi în aceşti trei ani să facă faţă unor riscuri şi provocări la care nu s-a aşteptat nimeni. Şi mai au şi sprijinul mai multor state UE. Fie prin coeziunea mai multor actori, fie în mod bilateral li se acordă asistenţă. Evident că este insuficientă pentru nevoile liniei frontului, care se întinde pe mii de kilometri, dar în acelaşi timp este importantă această experienţă a lor de a lupta împotriva agresiunii ruse de 11 ani.”Care este situația pe front în ultimele săptămîni?Angela Grămadă: „Avansul Rusiei nu este semnificativ, nu au reuşit în ultimele luni să ocupe mai mult de o sută şi ceva de kilometri pătraţi. În continuare încearcă să avanseze în regiunile Lugansk, Doneţk, Zaporojie, poate Herson şi o fac punînd presiune prin Harkov şi Sumî, cele două regiuni din nordul Ucrainei. Şi ruşii încearcă foarte mult să detaşeze personal militar, tehnică, muniţie spre Pokrovsk – o localitate foarte importantă, nu doar din punct de vedere strategic. Pokrovsk este una dintre puţinele regiuni din Ucraina care are cărbune cocsificabil, folosit în industria militară.”  Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural

Tre anni fa iniziava il conflitto tra Russia e Ucraina E' il 24 febbraio 2022, tre anni fa. La Russia invade il territorio ucraino, segnando una brusca escalation del conflitto russo-ucraino in corso dal 2014. La guerra provoca la maggiore crisi per l'accoglienza di rifugiati in Europa dopo la fine della seconda guerra mondiale, tanto che si è ritenuto necessario invocare la Direttiva di protezione temporanea. L'intervento armato viene preceduto da un prolungato ammassamento sul confine delle forze russe iniziato già nella primavera 2021, motivato dal presidente russo Vladimir Putin sulla base del timore di una adesione dell'Ucraina alla NATO, e seguito da esercitazioni militari. Solo pochi giorni prima dell'invasione, la Russia riconosce l'indipendenza della Repubblica Popolare di Doneck e la Repubblica Popolare di Lugansk, e il 20 febbraio, in violazione del Memorandum di Budapest sulle garanzie di sicurezza dell'Ucraina, la Russia invia le proprie forze armate. Sono le ore in cui Consiglio della Federazione autorizza all'unanimità il presidente Vladimir Putin a usare la forza militare fuori confine. Tre anni dopo vince la spartizione del mondo di Trump e Putin Quali sono le conseguenza della guerra? Secondo un rapporto dell'Organizzazione internazionale per le migrazioni del 17 aprile 2022, è sfollata una persona su sei, 7,7 milioni di persone, 17% del totale della popolazione ucraina.Resta incalcolabile il bilancio di morti, feriti, tra militari e civili. Tre anni dopo, sono stati avviati i primi tentativi di accordi di pace attraverso una serie di telefonate ra Trump e Putin, il vertice di Riad, i colloqui tra l'amministrazione americana e il leader ucraino Zelensky. Tre anni dopo però, l'Ucraina diventa il terreno in cui ricucire i rapporti politici, economici, geopolitici tra Stati Uniti e Russia interrotti il 24 febbraio 2022, dove al centro dei trattati non c'è soltanto la fine della guerra, ma l'avvio di una nuova spartizione del mondo tra le due superpotenze che taglia fuori Zelensky e limita, se non annulla, il ruolo dell'Europa, dilaniata da divisioni e da una mancanza di autorevolezza della sua leadership. "Il Corsivo" a cura di Daniele Biacchessi non è un editoriale, ma un approfondimento sui fatti di maggiore interesse che i quotidiani spesso non raccontano. Un servizio in punta di penna che analizza con un occhio esperto quell'angolo nascosto delle notizie di politica, economia e cronaca. ___________________________________________________ Ascolta altre produzioni di Giornale Radio sul sito: https://www.giornaleradio.fm oppure scarica la nostra App gratuita: iOS - App Store - https://apple.co/2uW01yA Android - Google Play - http://bit.ly/2vCjiW3 Resta connesso e segui i canali social di Giornale Radio: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giornaleradio.fm/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giornale_radio_fm/?hl=it

Ucraina anunță că deține controlul asupra unei suprafețe de 1.000 de kilometri pătrați în regiunea rusă Kursk. Operațiunea militară surpriză a Kievului este un șoc greu de absorbit pentru Rusia lui Vladimir Putin, consideră expertul în securitate și apărare Claudiu Degeratu. Claudiu Degeratu spune că ”pe termen scurt, Ucraina forțează Federația Rusă să-și realoce o parte din forțe care au ca principal efort ofensiva în Donețk și Lugansk (...). Sigur, din punct de vedere simbolic, psihologic, sunt mai multe efecte, în special impactul asupra imaginii lui Vladimir Putin și bineînțeles impactul psihologic asupra populației ruse din regiune”.În opinia sa, ”toată această acțiune desfășurată rapid, în forță și în premieră pe teritoriul Federației Ruse după 1941 este un șoc care va fi destul de greu de absorbit și de către populația rusă și de către autoritățile Federației”.Expertul crede că ”faptul că Ucraina a reușit o lovitură în acest registru de surpriză operațională, cum se numește în termeni militari, îl obligă cumva pe Vladimir Putin să-și intensifice această propagandă prin care încearcă să acopere potențiale scurgeri de informații din regiune”.

Support and listen to the full podcast: https://www.patreon.com/posts/spirit-of-2014-p-104121350 Ten years ago, the Russian Spring rolled through eastern and southern Ukraine, leading to the reunification of Crimea with Russia. The new government in Kiev, having just taken power through the Euromaidan, decided to crush the pro-Russian protests by force, leading to the War in the Donbass. Few remember those events in detail - the spring of 2014 is covered in a thick veil of propaganda and mythology. We have scoured long-forgotten blogs, defunct news websites, talked to participants and checked out many other archival sources, all with one goal: reconstructing a detailed chronology of those events — the Spirit of 2014!

The amazing Florida Congressman Byron Daniels, seen as a potential VP candidate for number 47, just dropped some truth bombs that are becoming increasingly undeniable, even for the most hardened leftists. They're finally admitting the truth about Ukraine, a truth we've been reporting on now for well over a year. We're going to savor that admission and see what it all means for the world moving forward!    Highlights:  “According to Zelensky's latest spin, the evil Vladimir Putin exploited the horrors of climate change to launch an invasion of Ukraine! I mean, if you don't see what a pathetic puppet this guy is I just can't help you!" “Newsweek article is echoing this sentiment: it's now time to negotiate peace on the best terms possible for Kiev, recognizing that the territory that's been annexed by Russia, the regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kerson, Zaparosha, and Crimea are permanently gone! There's no getting them back.” “The Ukraine debacle makes the failed Afghanistan withdrawal look brilliant by comparison.” Timestamps:  [00:49] Florida Congressman Byron Daniels on Zelensky requesting more money for Ukraine [02:45] President Volodymir Zelensky's Greta-like UN speech [05:02] How Americans want nothing more to do with the Ukraine crisis [06:45] How the media exposed that the regime and its surrogates in the legacy media have all been lying   Resources:  Get carrying TODAY with Countrywide Concealed HERE: https://www.frebahlem.com/BG484F42/G38H44Q/ Learn how to protect your life savings from inflation and an irresponsible government, with Gold and Silver.

Russia is holding “elections” in the occupied territories of four Ukrainian regions, Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson.

Mainstream Media is now the biggest source of misinformation. We have witnessed three years of controlled cooperation by the worlds media to convince and coerce us into accepting a Covid narrative that all seems to of been a lie.  Patrick Henningsen joins Hearts of Oak to share his nearly two decades of experience as a journalist to lift the lid on this media machine of manipulation.  Why has this level of deceit been accepted and tolerated and for what purpose?  How is the BBC now the governments gatekeeper of truth for the UK?  And why are the media determined to escalate the Ukraine conflict into what is dangerously approaching a full on European War?  Join us this episode as Patrick unpacks all of these questions and shows us why the alternative media is needed now more than ever before. Patrick Henningsen has helped to inform and educate audiences internationally on some of the most important geopolitical and cultural issues facing the world today. As an effective independent voice and outspoken media critic, he has consistently challenged the mainstream line on western military adventurism and deep state geopolitics, as well as being an vocal advocate for freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Patrick has done extensive on-the-ground reporting and research in the US, Europe and the Middle East including work in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Iran. As an independent analyst he's known for his candid commentary and timely predictions on breaking trends and events in global affairs, and as a public speaker he's been recognized for his dynamic but down-to-earth presentation style and media workshops. He is also the founder and managing editor of the successful independent news and media analysis website 21st Century Wire.com and host of popular weekly SUNDAY WIRE radio show which broadcasts live weekly on the Alternate Current Radio Network (ACR), and host of the Patrick Henningsen Show on TNT Radio International, as well as co-host of the UK Column News. Back in November 2016, he also a weekly show 'Patrick Henningsen LIVE' on terrestrial AM radio with Independent Talk 1100 KFNX broadcasting to one of America's top talk radio markets in Greater Phoenix. He has also appeared in a number of international publications including Consortium News, Ron Paul Institute, The Guardian, Global Research, New Dawn Magazine (Australia), and on a number of major global news networks including RT News International, Al Jazeera, ITN (UK), CGTN (China), Indus News (PK), Edge Media (SKY 200 UK) and US syndicated radio show Coast to Coast AM.

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) Hello, Hearts of Oak, and welcome to another interview. Come up in a moment with Patrick Henningsen, 21st Century Wire, TNT Radio, UK column. For nearly 20 years, Patrick has brought his journalistic insider analysis into a range of issues. And he joins us to talk about his starting 21st Century Wire back in 2009, and how we are seeing a change in censorship and media. And has that been over the last three years? Have we seen off the edge a cliff edge or has it been over a period of time? So we discussed that. Then we go on to the BBC. The BBC, the arbitrators of truth, they tell us what to think and they've just launched the Verify team. 60 journalists who will tell us what is right and what is not. The BBC obviously being an arm of the state, bringing us state news. Should we be concerned about this and what that means? And then we move on to what's happening in Ukraine and Russia, the war there and the media desiring more and more conflict, more and more aggression, completely different from 2003, the big demonstrations against the war in Iraq where the media were opposed to war. Now they seem to be marching step by step into more war and aggression. Then we end up talking about politics. Robert Kennedy Jr. standing for the presidential candidacy of the Democratic Party in America, very vocal against the war. What does that mean for the whole debate and will that change the narrative? Lots to discuss. I know you love listening and watching and hearing from Patrick from UK Column and more recently on TNT Radio and I know you'll love our conversation. And hello Hearts of Oak. Today is wonderful to have a writer, a credited journalist, Global Affairs Analyst and Co-Founder and Executive Editor of 21st Century Wire, and that is Patrick Henningsen. Patrick, thank you for your time today. (Patrick Henningsen) Great to be with you, Peter. My pleasure. Good to have you. And of course, you can catch Patrick. It's at 21wire, there is his Twitter handle, 21stCenturyWire.com is the website. You can catch him on the Sunday Wire every Sunday, five to eight UK time, which is probably around midday eastern time, and TNT radio every weekday from five o'clock to seven o'clock. And if you want to see him you can see him on UK column where he is regularly. So I think those are the main places to find you, are they Patrick? That's right. I've also started a new Twitter space forum series every Wednesday. We usually do big picture geopolitical debates with special invitees for panel speakers. It would be great to have you on that space at some point as well, Peter. Yeah, definitely. I haven't got into Twitter spaces yet, but that's a whole new area. A lot to discuss and possibly, I know Patrick, you launched 21st Century Wire back 2009. Maybe just want to start with that. What led you to starting that organization? Well, it was really out of necessity, Peter. So like I sort of took the vow of poverty in 2005 and decided I was going to make myself into a useful member of society by becoming a journalist and learning how to write. So I was hustling and doing three or four jobs and then blogging. But I was always blogging on other platforms and that's blogging was sort of coming into its own around 2004, 2005, 2006. So I was kind of jumping on that wave on some other big websites and then submitting articles. I was very lucky to be, you know, invited to a couple of conferences. One on It's the Climate Sceptics Conference in 2007 in New York. Where I met a lot of the top sceptics. I was very interested in that climate change issue and finding out what the real truth was at that time. Plus the anti-war activism, which I was very involved in in 2003, four, five, and six. That was also informing my writing. And I just got tired of having to submit pieces to different editors, and I thought, at some point, I gotta start my own blog. So I just launched a WordPress site, and I had some help with that, obviously, at the time. Because I'm a good tech person, but there's some things I just have a blind spot with. One of them is HTML coding, which now I understand all these years later, and now you don't need it anymore. So there you go. So then when the Copenhagen Climate Summit was coming, I knew this was going to be a major event in Copenhagen, COP 21. And so I booked my ticket. I hired a cameraman to come with me, and then was able to sell some of my reporting to some big alternative media outlets at the time, like InfoWars was one of them, and then be able to actually be there on the ground doing journalism at a big event. And it turned out to be amazing because the whole thing collapsed at the end, because it was exposed to be a complete fraud, and the developing world countries realized they were getting taken to the cleaners by the G7 lords of the galaxy. And then that's when I launched 21st Century Wire. It was for that event. I wanted to make sure I had an outlet to publish in real time because I wouldn't be able to depend on another outlet. So it all kind of converged in late 2009. And I still wrote for other sites and published in other really good websites. I even got published in the Guardian back when they were still allowing some journalism. Amazing actually because they had turned around and did a hit piece on me a couple years ago for our exposing the truth about what was happening in Syria. But they were upset obviously by that as are most of the mainstream media anytime anybody in the alternative media exposes anything or exposes the truth and it undermines the official state narrative. There's this reflexive reaction that they have to go and attack you. And this is what the Huffington Post, UK does routinely. The Times are pretty guilty of this. Local papers do it as well. Owned by Reach, you know, all these sort of conglomerates that own the entire of the local press in the UK. And also NPR, BBC, I don't know, pretty much everybody's had a crack at us and the colleagues that I work with. But the main thing, Peter, is that I just decided that I wanted to own my own website and have my own media and not depend on somebody else. And we've developed it into a good independent media platform, I think, and we've done some great journalism. Our journalists have been recognized with awards and nominations for major awards for the work they've done on our site. We've had stuff republished. We've been linked in mainstream media. Some of our journalists also featured in mainstream media, serious programs as well, a few of them overseas in Europe, in the US. So I think overall, we've done a good job with very little in terms of resources, just a lot of sweat and a lot of hard work and a lot of late nights and reinvesting back into 21st century wire. It's tough with the ad-pocalypse, with being delisted for organic searches on Google, which happened in 2017 after Trump was elected. Us and a few hundred other major alternative websites got basically bumped from Google in terms of organic searches. We were dominating before that. That drove our ad revenue, which was the main business model. That was really tough. It took many years to get back to breaking even after that. And then also kicked off of YouTube periodically, not allowed to monetize anything there. Kicked off of Twitter, let back recently because of the Elon, the merciful, the new monarch in charge in San Francisco. And thank you to Elon Musk, of course, eternal thanks for letting me and others back this past December, but much to the chagrin of the mainstream hatchet people. But that's that. Yeah. And I've been on the ground covering wars in Syria. I've been covering the defeat of ISIS in Iraq in 2017 and also throughout the Middle East as well, doing journalism there for a number of years and working for a number of outlets, just providing live commentary. I did quite a lot of live segments for RT International from the Libyan conflict. I did that remotely. I wasn't on the ground in Libya, but I did commentary and analysis to 200 or 300 live segments for RT, and I wasn't paid for those television segments. So, and I did that because I didn't want to be accused of being a Russian agent, but they accused me anyway, so I should have just done whatever the other journalists did and like, you know, get paid for that. I would have been able to buy a Range Rover if I did, but I didn't, I was too, too, too much of a, um. Trying to retain my independence, even though it wasn't necessary, just because of the anti-Russian rhetoric and all the sort of drive-by attacks in the media that were going on, and politically as well. And it's a serious thing in America, that since Trump got elected, that the whole Russian narrative, Russia-gate, Russian collusion, Russian disinformation, Russian stooge, Russian propaganda, it's just endless in America. It's like the ultimate scapegoat that keeps giving in America. They can blame everything on Russia or some foreign actor rather than the corruption that's actually happening inside the US and Washington. And I dare say probably the same thing is happening in the UK as well and in EU. Now we'll certainly get on to the war side, the Russia side, but actually as someone who's new to media, we find ourselves doing this just as lockdown hit. And I've seen a big change in the last three years, an increase in censorship, accepted new-speak, collaboration between media, big tech and governments, but, For you, as someone who's been a journalist for a decade prior to the chaos of the last three years, has that change been a cliff edge or has it been more gradual and hidden? Oh, it's been an absolute cliff edge, but the conditions that led to that cliff edge and this total collapse in any sort of morals, ethics, anything that was remaining in the mainstream media, or any independence that the media had away from government, that completely was eviscerated with COVID and lockdown. But it's important to understand, this is a good question you've raised, Peter, because the framework for that, for the absolute Orwellian onslaught of COVID, lockdown, and attacking anti-vaxxers and all this stuff. The framework for that was built on the back of the Russian disinformation hoax. Okay, and all of the collusion with big tech and government on both sides of the Atlantic and in Brussels was really built on the back of that idea that Russia interfered in the 2016 elections. Ergo, you know, our social media platforms were then deemed to be a critical infrastructure, critical election infrastructure by the US agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and all these sub departments that they erected on the back of the Mueller report and all these sort of failed investigations the funding was just still flowing and then you had this backdoor into Twitter Google YouTube LinkedIn Facebook where government agencies have direct control can even read your DMs and Twitter Okay, that was exposed in the Twitter files as well as many other incredible violations of the First Amendment. Same thing happening in Britain, probably, although we don't have all the details for it. It would be great if there was a major inquiry or something like that on this, so certainly the public would, I think, benefit from that. In a democracy, in Brussels too. So there's this direct, complete fusion of government, big tech to censor and to de-platform. And then also the mainstream media plays an important role in this as well because they act as the attack dog to offer additional intimidation to the big tech firms. In other words, there's a designated person at every mainstream media outlet that would call the heads of big tech and say, how can you allow this, this far right or rhetoric or these, these accounts, these anti-vaxxer accounts on your platform? Aren't you realizing the harm that's being done here? And are you going, what are you going to do about it? We're going to run a story on Monday. Can we get a comment? Are, you going to allow those, those accounts on your platform? And of course, what does big tech do every time they cave in and they'll go and, you know, delete these accounts, shadow ban them, delete the tweets, delete the posts. And so this was all, again, exposed in the Twitter files. And so the mainstream media is rolling this as a sort of side-line agitator to make sure this process of censorship is efficient. So they act as a kind of incendiary element in this collusion here. So this is completely Orwellian. And again, the framework of this was exposed during the whole, the Russia scare, the initial, the integrity initiative leaks in the UK are a good example of that. You could see the lists of journalists that were being briefed by government agencies in the UK and Europe, and then creating fake stories, and then planting stories, and all of this sort of thing. It's really about narrative control, and it's definitely a top-down system. There's invisible components to this that the public can't see. In the UK, you have D notices as well. These are off limits topics the mainstream media won't touch. Plus you have Ofcom as a sort of speech regulator. They say their media regulator their press regulator, but really they're becoming or they want to become a full speech regulator of the Internet, so I mean this is really historic in that sense people need to kind of really realize the gravity of this, did the digital world with all of its benefits to us the public to get more information to get the truth is also being used by the state and its corporate, adjuncts for systematic censorship, so it's a it's a two-sided coin and which way this this equation leans is gonna really be up to us and I always tell people, you know if you have free speech and you have a voice use it, use it because the minute you start, controlling your own thoughts and things like that. That's when you know, we become a self-policing, non free speech society at that point. Before we get on to BBC, and you mentioned some of those restrictions, and of course we've had the online safety bill coming in in the UK, we've got the EU proposing a very similar one, we've seen what's happened in Ireland with their new restrictions on saying anything which is outside the government narrative. To me, that's the most concerning development of the clampdown, and it's, I guess, progression from YouTube making its own rules now to the government agreeing to those rules. Yeah, so what they've done is they've introduced various new concepts. One of them is harms. Harmful. Offensive. So, no longer what is criminal in terms of, you know, a violation of the law. Elon Musk made this point really well. He said, you know, any speech on Twitter that is in violation of the law or in terms of a court order can be shown to be actually putting someone in danger. We're talking about death threats. Uh, we're talking about, uh, doxing, sensitive, uh, personal material for somebody who's at risk, et cetera. Child grooming and all these sort sort of legal activities going on, that obviously should be prohibited and policed and would be in the terms and conditions of any of these companies, reasonable terms and conditions. What the government wants to do is extend the terms and conditions in order to make the companies liable. And if the government believes that there's harmful speech online, they will fine that company and into oblivion with millions of into percentage of turnover not just like profit but percentage of turnover like ridiculous fines and the reason they're doing that is they want to, they want these social media companies to come back in line with this self-policing like Twitter used to be but maybe even without the government interference but getting them to build up these huge moderation boiler rooms and using AI to regulate speech so it's all based on this online harm. So much of this insidious legislation will use the issue of harm to children. And no one's downplaying the fact that's a serious issue. However, there's many, many laws in the books. Police have whole departments. They have a great investigative pedigree to look into such cases and then enforce the law in all countries. Most developed countries have those legal facilities. And so, you know, it's already there. The checks and balances are already there. What they want to do, obviously, with the vague arbitrary terms like harms and offensive and potentially dangerous, they want to extend this kind of definition to where it's completely flexible where you can just use a word and it can have multiple interpretations, a bit like the way anti-Semitism has been weaponized in the British political system, where they've used it to remove the Labour leader, the former Labour leader, plus former Labour MPs like Jeremy Corbyn, Chris Williamson, and removing Conservative MPs as well as they did with Andrew Bridgen. So then it becomes a meaningless term at that point and it's just bandied about to, you know, as a kind of political weapon and if it's not that word it'll be another word. It'll be, you know, the term far-right. In America they're using white supremacy very loosely. The press and the political machine, the Democrat political machine, the Biden White House using that term, it doesn't mean anything. It's like I was born and raised in America. I've never really met a white supremacist my whole life and I've moved all around the country. And so, yeah, they just want to demonize anything that's basically right of Karl Marx. That's basically where we're heading. And I think it's the, what, Candice Owens and the Hodge twins, they're probably white supremacy now as well, according to their definitions. Oh, you can be black and be a white supremacist now. I mean, Larry Elder, who ran for governor in California, he got called a white supremacist. He's obviously an African-American. So, Candace Owens has been called a white supremacist. So, you got all these African American pundits that are white supremacists. So, it just shows how ridiculous it is, but just because it's ridiculous doesn't mean they're going to give up. This machine is really relentless. You know, they'll retool and they reconfigure. The propaganda that we are marinated in right now, is just so thick and vast, like never before. And people will say things that do not adhere to the truth. The biggest source of quote, disinformation, 110%, and actually throughout history, is two sources, mainstream media and government. The lies, mistruths, propaganda, all these things that the BBC use. They don't use, the BBC doesn't like to use the word propaganda, if you notice. They like disinformation, they like misinformation. The new one's mistruths. This is a new word invented by the BBC. They don't use the word propaganda very much, obviously, because as soon as they start saying that, then the camera gets pointed on them at that point. So it's interesting how these new words are very convenient. They've been invented and introduced in order to, and for the moment, they're fashionable, but they'll eventually become redundant and people will laugh at them. Many already are laughing at these words like misinformation, mal-information. It's either true or it's false. It's either a lie. It's either propaganda or it's accurate. And if you don't like accurate facts and you're calling those Russian propaganda, I got called a Russian... I said, I was talking about the issue in Ukraine, maybe we'll talk about that later, but... And I would say, someone said to me on a panel discussion from another country, I forgot what country he's from, he said, oh, that's the Russian narrative. I'm like, no, it's not. I'm reading off of the UN charter and I'm reading international law and that's not the Russian narrative. But that's the environment we're in right now. It's hyper-politicized on so many different domestic and international levels. And the mainstream media are the worst, the worst, by far the worst offender. And when they get it wrong, wars start. When they get it wrong, accidental fighting breaks out between countries. So what they put out, when they get it wrong, it has actual real-world consequences on all of us. When they don't report on the Nord Stream pipeline being blown up and ask the question of who actually did it and meanwhile our gas and electric bills are skyrocketing. People in Europe are being forced into fuel poverty and the mainstream media have no questions at all. They black out the story. The biggest attack on a European infrastructure since World War II and they're silent, they're shtum on this. So they have, I mean. They have so much to answer for and they're not doing, they're not even remotely trying to fill the role of a fourth estate. In fact they piled on Julian Assange who is a award-winning journalist who's in supermax prison, languishing away award-winning journalist and not a word of protest from the BBC or you know, just recently you'll probably find a few pieces on the Guardian, only recently saying oh maybe this is unfair you know they let him waste away in Belmarsh prison for two or three years before they even raised that issue. Well I want to bring on the BBC because you just had a poll and the BBC is the perfect mix I guess of media and government and it was this poll survey do you consider the BBC to be unbiased objective and a credible media outlet. And there were 5.8% of people said yes, 94% said no, it had over 16,000 votes. It's interesting because we are moving away from that trust in our institutions, across many areas of society, where there's now a growing and growing concern and suspicion and anger, I guess. I think this survey shows us that. There's 16,000 votes on that, Peter, by the way. So some of the people that voted yes actually messaged me afterwards saying they accidentally hit the wrong button, It might be slightly lower. No. Look I didn't ask anyone to retweet that I asked if you, I did ask a few people to retweet it, but. In in general, I think it's an interesting barometer. The BBC obviously have launched their new Verify service. This is only in the last few days those abroad may not know. We've had fact checking for a long time, but it's a verified team consists of 60 journalists, seems to be pulling together their disinformation units, world service monitoring, their reality check team. And these are going to basically tell us the BBC can be trusted and anything which UK column may put out or others, will be there to critique that. I mean it's, they call it transparency in action. It's interesting the BBC need to have a service to fact-check. I mean it just is really confusing but this is, I guess, the government and the BBC putting their stamp of authority on the mainstream media the public can't trust. BBC Verify, I think this is this new program. Marianna Spring is their disinformation expert. She's very young. I'm not sure if she has a lot of experience in the field doing actual journalism. This is the other point, Peter, there's people who are fact checkers who are basically rating people's work online on these sort of internet guides, like completely fraudulent websites like NewsGuard is one of them. Headed by the former head of the CIA. I mean it's kind of ridiculous if you think about it, but they hire these young people and they've created a new tier of journalism because the mainstream media no longer does actual investigative journalism. They still have to sort of employ people and then somehow validate the top-line propaganda and the top-line propaganda which is directly from government, literally copied and pasted, they're then verified and protected by this new lair called the fact checker or the disinformation expert and these are not real journalists. These are people who if they had a substack blog nobody would read it. Okay, let's be honest. So they have no aspirations other than being on staff as a bureaucrat at the Ministry of Truth because isn't that what this is? This is like chapter and verse out of Orwell's 1984. And so they're saying, oh, we're tracking conspiracy theories online, and they have like these fancy heat maps, and we're tracking disinformation. And look at these accounts that retweet this. We have a cluster of potentially far-right-linked or foreign-linked accounts who are amplifying this disinformation. What they're doing is completely bogus. They raise money, and they tell each other this. This is how the funding gets approved. They have academic departments and universities that study the spread of disinformation, how to counter online hate and all this stuff. What they're doing is tracking online dissenting opinion. That's what they're doing. They're tracking any counter narratives that potentially threaten or undermine what the state and the corporate media narrative is. That's all they're doing. Then they're using that to demonize independent journalists, bloggers, to get them censored, de-platformed, demonetized, all of that, to basically create a sort of pariah, a group of pariahs in society. And they don't care the damage which they do. And I've been libelled by these people multiple times. I can't afford to hire an expensive city solicitor firm to defend myself. I'm not someone like Piers Morgan or these people can attack and smear and do whatever they want. They can also afford the best lawyers in the world, but the people that the mainstream media are attacking and smearing, they can't afford to take everybody to court. So it's not a level playing field. And when the state broadcaster mobilizes its resources to attack bloggers, Twitter users, members of the public, they feel that threatened. This is absolute 100% pure fascism. There's no other way to describe it. I mean, honestly, they have billions in their budget. They could easily be outperforming all of the alternative media in terms of content. They could take all of the audience if their content was actually engaging, interesting, non-biased, objective, and fact-based. But it's not. They're a propaganda arm of the government, of the establishment, of the security services. This is what they become, and they don't do real investigative journalism. The best investigative journalism on the BBC is probably Tony Robinson and Time Team, or these programs, and they're breaking news. Four hundred years ago, we just discovered Watt-Tyler's rebellion or whatever. They're good at those sort of investigations, breaking news 400 years later, but in terms of what's happening today and doing it in an unbiased way, no, they're there to protect the state and whatever the agenda is of NATO, uh, whatever the agenda is of the Anglo-American establishment in Syria, for instance, I mean, look at they, the BBC, I mean, they've never come clean on the fact that they reported building seven on nine 11. They said it was, it was building seven collapsed. They did it live on TV while it was still standing behind them on the screen. I mean, so just on that, that's a, that should be a brand killer at that point. Then the cover-up of Jimmy Savile, I mean that's never been fully explained or no one's ever really come clean on that. And then they did a propaganda piece right before the parliamentary vote in August of 2013. You remember? There was a vote to go to war with Syria. David Cameron was prime minister and Ed Miliband, by the grace of God, but somehow, the vote failed by the slightest of margins. And Cameron put his head down in defeat and walked off. And there were temper tantrums on the floor of Commons. I remember very well watching that. The BBC did a propaganda piece called Saving Syria's Children, which was released on that day and clearly was meant to influence the vote in the public. And it was the worst piece of staged propaganda. It's been thoroughly exposed by multiple independent journalists, media outlets, and it is one of the worst things ever. A fake chemical weapon scene at a stage scenes at this hospital, and it was all done in the edit. Some of it was staged live. We find out that their drivers were Al-Qaeda affiliates. Literally they're working alongside terrorists. They've never come clean on that. I mean, that's just one example, two, three, four examples. I mean, how much do people need? When they come clean on their egregious violations and fake news and weapons of mass destruction and all the lies they've told, saying Jeremy Corbyn was a Russian agent and an al-Qaeda sympathizer, they did all that. And by the way, I'm not a labour supporter. It's not a partisan defence of Corbyn. I'll defend anybody who's being unjustly attacked by this egregious state propaganda arm, you know, in the defamation machine, which they run regularly against any potential threats to the establishment order, okay? Whether it's labour, Lib Dem, conservative, whatever. So you know, they need to come clean on this stuff. And the Corbyn anti-Semitism, the Bridgen anti-Semitism, I mean, these are damaging to politics. This is causing people to lose trust in the democratic system because there's all of this sort of, you know, these malicious politicized attacks were being facilitated by the mainstream media. So, they have no credibility. And this war in Ukraine, they have been reporting absolute lies from the beginning. They've been telling us the exact opposite of what's actually happening and there needs to be some kind of an inquiry over the mainstream media's coverage of this and it's provided the backing for the politicians to carry on with this proxy war, which is really dangerous in the sense that, you know, we're poking against another UN Security Council, a nuclear armed country in a proxy war, Ukraine is getting devastated as a result. And it will never come back to its normal shape. They'll be, the longer that they push this, the less, the smaller Ukraine will be in a year's time and more people will be dead. Well, can I jump in because part of your journey started with questioning wars back in that March 2003 and it kind of seemed as though the media were united in concern about what was happening, there was not a rush to marching to war, it did seem to be holding the government to account, a lot of suspicion about the dossier that came out and a lot of questioning. Fast forward 20 years and it seems as though the media are desperate for this war to continue, they're desperate for it to escalate. I mean is that how you're seeing it as well? Oh, I honestly, I don't think, I think there's a level of delusionality that has set in. Right right through the establishment I think the problem with people in the mainstream media and government is and in Britain It's even worse because they banned Russian media outlets here. Literally the RT.com URL is banned so if you're, imagine this you're on a committee here on its National Security Committee, you're an MP, you can't even read the statements of Sergei Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister. How can you possibly know how to act diplomatically or geo-strategically if you don't even know what the Russian position is? And you're not reading the data from the Russian Ministry of Defence to compare it against your battlefield reports to actually gauge how the actual combat situation is actually going. So our Our people in the West are marinated in just their own mainstream media propaganda. They cannot make informed policy decisions based on potentially skewed propaganda where by, you know, nobody in the defence industry is going to tell the truth to any politician. There might be a few that know the truth, but the rank and file MPs know, mainstream media is not there to do that. They're there to sell the war to us. They're there to sell the war to the public. So the public are still behind this kind of, you know, let's liberate Ukraine from the evil dictator Vladimir Putin, who woke up one day and decided to rekindle the glory of the Soviet Union on February 26th, 2022. Obviously that's a ridiculous narrative because there's a whole chain of events which happened prior to that, which led to Russia's military intervention in Donbass. But even saying that, Peter, in Germany, as we mentioned before the show, I think someone was arrested recently for defending Russian aggression. Yes, I mean, but that is those three years for supporting or publicly supporting or defending Russian aggression. But actually it says, so the Hamburg court indictment revealed that the defendant had used social media to justify Russia's aggressive action against Ukraine, referring to Ukraine as a terrorist state. I didn't know that was wrong. And moreover, the defendant employed the the Russian symbol of military propaganda known as the Z, which is prohibited under German law. And that just blew me away, because Z is now banned in Germany. It's unbelievable. You know, so if you state the facts, if you state the facts, they'll say, well, Russia has violated the territory integrity of Ukraine. That's an egregious violation of the UN Charter, Article 51. Ukraine can invoke the right to self-defence, OK? So that's the basic narrative. So all of a sudden, the Europeans, Britain, and America are interested in international law when it comes to military interventions, which they've completely ignored for the last 50 years. So now they're interested in it. So if I'd say that no, actually no, according to UN Charter Article 1, the other side to this coin in this argument is the right to self-determination. The republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine were basically victims of their own government raising the military, a NATO-backed armed military, against their own people in the east. So they defended their borders, raised a militia. They weren't given representation either in Kiev, in the Rada. So the illustration was the policy of Kiev, backed by Washington, backed by EU, saying don't recognize these people, they get no voice. They cut off utilities, they cut off, They're not paying the civil servant salaries, whatever. At that point, Kiev relinquishes its governance over Eastern Ukraine. So according to the UN Charter of Self-Determination, if you're attacked by your own government on the basis of being discriminated against, for instance, on your language or your ethnicity, or after a coup, and the oblasts in the east of Ukraine don't recognize the US-backed coup putsch, Beer Hall Putsch government, and then they're being attacked by the Ukrainian military, who's being armed and trained by NATO, foreign powers, funded as well, okay, they defend their borders, they raise a militia, they're taking civilian casualties in the Donbass, indiscriminate shelling from the Ukrainian army against civilians, Ukrainian civilians, because you have to remember, the West recognizes Donbass as Ukraine, so that means any civilians being hit by the Ukrainian military indiscriminately, they're killing their own people by definition. So you can't have it both ways, but they want to have it both ways. So they have a right under UN charter article one. Of self-determination, and then you have to declare autonomy, which they did. Then you have to be recognized by one of your neighbours in standing, which they did. And then they were then absorbed, had a referendum, and became part of the Russian Federation. So by international law, I could walk into court as an international lawyer and make a stronger case for the Donbass republics under international law for their independence than can be made for for Kosovo in Yugoslavia, you see. And this is up for argument, and this is what international lawyers do. And I've interviewed many of them, I've taken statements from them, I'm investigating, for instance, the International Criminal Court indictment in The Hague against Vladimir Putin and another Russian official for mass kidnapping Russian children. That's The Hague. And that's partly a British effort to issue that arrest warrant. The first white person ever indicted by the ICC, by the way, normally you just go after African leaders that the U.S. doesn't like. So it turns out this charge of mass kidnapping Ukrainian children and whisk them off to Russia, to camps or whatever, it's a total fraud, total lie. Investigative journalists have exposed this already. We'll probably, I'm going to interview one of them later this week. It's, they took families wanted their kids out of the war zone so they had special facilities almost like summer camps for the children of families who were in sensitive areas of the Donbass I mean, how is that a war crime? But that's how desperate they are so if I argue this in Germany, if I'm a German citizen, I could I could be a prosecuted for what, defending Russian aggression So defending aggression, so not even genocide anymore. It's not war crime. It's not, I don't want to say the H word, but you can't even use genocide. So now it's just aggression. So aggression is like a new, another arbitrary, phony international term for the establishment. You know, so they don't, what they're doing is, and this is what the BBC and everyone do, they frame your reference of any issue or situation, they narrow the framing of it, very, very narrow, and within that they can dominate. As soon as you have an intellectual logical, rational conversation with historical context, and taking cause and effect into account, which the mainstream media do not like doing, then you have a different debate. Then, if things are really open for argument and you can see that actually their case is not very black and white, it's not open and shut. They're using the brute force of media and government to make it an open and shut case, but it's not. And I think the international community in the West are realizing that most of the world's population don't buy it and that's where we're heading into an interesting point in history right now. Can I just end up looking at the political side and as much as I would like to see President Trump back in the Oval Office, I'm intrigued by Robert Kennedy Jr. And he seems to be one of the few, maybe the only presidential candidate who are against this war and want peace. And I guess it's all part to do with the military system. I think the US has spent over 100 billion. No wonder they're hitting their debt ceiling. But it's Robert Kennedy seems to be a voice of reason in this. And I'm kind of wondering what your thoughts are and whether that will actually get out to the people at large. Yes, and look, I wouldn't generally vote Democrat, but I would consider voting for RFK in this election. I would because he is competent and has a grasp of the big issues. And that's really important. And we're at a very critical time in American history and in world history as well. What's happening in Ukraine and what NATO is attempting to do, which is to drop a new Iron Curtain right along the Polish border, right down to Romania, to the Black Sea, and then militarizing that Iron Curtain in a way that we haven't seen since the post-World War II period. This is serious. So any president who doesn't have a grip on this, so RFK is incredibly adept, intelligent, and I like what he's saying. Donald Trump cuts right through everything and basically says, I'm going to end the war in 24 hours, typical Trump style. And do I doubt him? Absolutely not. Can he do that? You bet he can. Donald Trump can do it. Any political leader that has got the balls and doesn't care what the press are going to say or the foreign policy blob. And all the intelligence Machiavellian agents that are working to extend the war, to extend the profits for all these military contractors, and extend the killing, okay? All of these people, Donald Trump will, he's one of the only people as a populist who could achieve that. And I would say, therefore, and I think you brought up a good point, Peter, you know, a left-wing populist or a right-wing populist, you know, when it comes to those big existential issues, you know, I'm willing to sacrifice on some domestic issues for the greater of humanity, knowing that the leader that we have is going to make sure that this does not happen. There's not going to be a nuclear war or a thermonuclear exchange, and that we are not going to be permanently at war with a major UN Security Council member. Like, that means something to me, enough that I would back Robert F. Kennedy or Donald Trump. So, like, I don't see that from any other candidate, not that definitive clarity. This brings us to the other important question, Peter. Is Donald Trump working in the interests of the people of the United States, the national interest, the national security interest, or is he working for the globalists or the other sort of international transnational establishment? Clearly he's acting and speaking in the interests of the people, the national interest. Okay, what about Vladimir Putin? Is he acting in his national interest? Or is he acting in the interest of some amorphous Russian elite? It looks like an existential threat to the Russian Federation. So whatever, you might not like how things are playing out, but he's absolutely acting in his national interest. And Donald Trump would probably do the same if there was a Chinese expeditionary force in Baja, Mexico, that were persecuting and shelling American English speaking citizens in Northern Mexico. And then threatening to position nuclear missiles along the Texas border. The US would act and it would be done. It would be done in 24 hours. They'd bomb Mexico City. I'm telling you, the thing would be over. So Russia is taking it very slowly. Donald Trump recognized this. He knows that he could probably stop it. Jeremy Corbyn or Robert F. Kennedy, they would probably make the same pledge, although they don't have the strength. RFK would have the strength and the fortitude. Corbyn, maybe not. Um, but, uh, but so, so that's, that's my position on that. Yeah. And, uh, what about the British prime minister? I don't know. I don't even know who's in charge. Uh, who does? We do change quite a bit of this musical roundabouts or pass the parcel. Um, but of course, uh, you saw the, the big hug that Rishi Sunak gave to, uh, to Zelensky whenever he landed, best buddies, beautiful bro-mance. So I think it's just more and more money for Zelensky from there. Yeah, I feel bad. He's the bigger they are, the harder they fall and they've built this guy up to be this international saint stroke war hero stroke. And I'm afraid, is it going to be a martyr as well to the cause? I don't know, but it's, um, yeah, uh, clearly a propaganda construct, the whole, the outfit, the green t-shirt showing up at the Arab league, wearing the green outfit, I mean, disrespectful to the leaders there. Uh, that didn't go well again to the G7, again, the green outfit is like constantly at war. It's like Manuel Noriega all over again. You know, it's just, it's, it's, it's ridiculous at this point. And anybody who thinks that Vladimir Zelensky is in charge of anything in Ukraine, there's nobody in Ukraine that's in charge of anything. On the global sovereignty index, they're at the very bottom. We're paying, the United States is subsidizing in Europe, the civil service salaries, they're paying soldiers salaries, they're paying their utilities, they're paying for their army, they're subsidizing their economy, what's left of it. They handpicked their government, the United States did, that's proven. So, they're dictating to them what their foreign policy is going to be, et cetera. Whether they can or can't negotiate a peace settlement, they have zero sovereignty. So whoever's at the moment who's in charge in Kiev, they have no real decision making. The US could end it in a minute. Just one phone call saying, it's over, Monday, get ready for peace negotiations. And it's over. We're not giving you any more weapons, so you're on your own. And if they say they're on their own, they're like, well, this isn't going to work out with Russia. So we better call for, sue for peace at this point. That's not happening. That's very disturbing. And what's more disturbing is the craven attitude of European politicians that believe this is a cost-effective arms length war, that somehow it's economical. We're going to wear the Russians down and you know, we're going to, we're going to break the Russian economy. I think the European economy has suffered more arguably than the Russian economy has as a result of this historic embargo of a major global power. It's backfired badly. And it's leading to all sorts of, it's cascading in all sorts of bad outcomes for the US dollar as a world reserve currency, the energy markets as well, all sorts of negative outcomes. And the worst would be a military exchange between NATO and Russia. I mean, we don't know where that's going to end. But we do know in history, you know, it's, when you look back, you know, when we we studied World War I and World War II, especially World War I, the lesson at the end was always with the teacher, I remember saying, this was just madness and we've never seen anything like this and hopefully we'll never see it again. We've hopefully learned our lessons and warfare isn't done like this anymore, et cetera. And we're all scratching our heads thinking as students, how could the people, leaders of Europe have been that stupid to allow this carnage. That could have been totally avoidable. But there was this idea that it was inevitable, that war was inevitable. And you're hearing this from politicians on both sides of the Atlantic that war is inevitable and war with China as well is inevitable. Okay, so from that I realized now I finally, after all these years, I figured it out that yes, we are stupid enough to do it again. Our leaders are dumb enough and naïve and short-sighted and corrupt. Yes, history can repeat itself, even in the modern technological age. And that's the big realization that we need to start taking home and stop taking for granted that these things can't happen. Yes, they can happen, and they will happen, and they are happening as well. And so people, I think, need to get a lot more engaged in Europe, especially, and in the UK as well, and in America. They really need to get more engaged on this issue because we don't know how, everything, Bilderberg's a good example. At the Bilderberg, the whole agenda predicated on crisis. So one crisis to the next and which companies and which transnational powers intelligence agencies, how they're going to marshal the crisis in order to implement new policies and more control and a new agenda. So if that's the underlying motivation, what could be a bigger crisis than, you know, an escalation of a major war in Europe? So what does that mean? What does the post-war society in order look like? More surveillance, less freedoms, less civil liberties, less travel, closed borders. A lot of the things that we saw during COVID, Peter, and lockdown, that was the war without the war. And we got a taste of it. That's nothing. In some ways, that's nothing compared to what a post-war order will look like in the West. Not in the East, but in the West. So people need to think long and hard about some of these issues. Patrick, I appreciate you coming on and sharing your two decades of journalism and experience and analysing some of those. So thank you so much for your time today. Thank you, Peter. I appreciate it.

Now, one year later, Vladislav joins us again, this time in person, in our studio to share what he has seen, heard, and experienced this past year since the Russian invasion of his home. Vladislav, it is so good to see you alive and well and in person. Vladislav: Thank you so much. This is so surreal. I'm so grateful, first of all, for your interest, for your affection, for your graciousness, for your respect. But I'm grateful to be here exactly one year later. It was the last thing that I did in the workday before the war began, before the old world ended. And I went off to dinner with my friend, now of blessed memory, Dan Rappaport, who was an American Latvian born Jewish financier. It was also the last time I saw him. He died under very suspicious circumstances. He died falling out of a window in Washington, DC, or of a roof, on the seventh floor, three months later. I just have extremely intense emotions about that six hour period because…I was talking to my wife, my wife's French Ukrainian, she was back in Paris. I said, if anything happens tonight, I'll call you in the morning. Things are gonna go down tonight. And then I did this podcast with you. And so, it's really amazing to be back with you a year later. Manya: Yes. I mean, I  am so grateful to see you because I really was very worried. I worried that that was going to be our last conversation, and that I would not get a chance to meet you in person after that. And in addition to everything, you've been working on a book, The Birth of a Political Nation, which we'll talk a little bit more about shortly. But, first tell me, tell our listeners how you have managed to survive and tell the stories that need to be told. Vladislav: It's not pretty. I mean, it's just, it's not elegant. I'm a Ukrainian Russian Jew, so I kind of went into primordial, bestial mode, like Russian Ukrainian, Jewish survival mode, like my grandfathers and great-grandfathers during World War II. I just, you know, something clicked and your your training and your skillset and your deep cultural characteristics click in and you just go full on Hemingway, Lord Byron, and then you just go to war. Like a lot of other people, I went to war. I burned out after about six months and I needed some months off. I was just rnning around like a madman, reporting, getting my own relatives out, helping whatever way I could, helping my family close down their businesses, helping run guns, going on t radio, you know, just collecting money, going to the front, just, going off on an adrenaline rush. And it's admixture of rage, testosterone. Adrenaline, survival, rage,  all the cocktail of horrific, let's say toxic masculine character [laughs]. I know you can't, I I know. I'm ironic about that. I live in Eastern Europe, so you can, you can still make fun of all that stuff in Eastern Europe. I don't know if you can here, but, you know, jokes aside. I just went into this deeply primordial state of Ukrainian Russian civilizational structures of brutal survival and fighting. And that went on for about six months, at which point I just crashed and collapsed and needed some off time. Manya: How much of your journalistic instincts also fueled your push on, your forging ahead and surviving just to tell the story, or was it more a familial connection? Vladislav: I have skin in the game. I'm from there. I mean, my ancestors are from there, two of my grandparents were born there. My family lived there for hundreds of years. I'm married to a Ukrainian Jewish girl. I have family there. My friends are, these are my people. I'm deeply tribal. Obviously you take the opportunity as a journalist reporting on a country for 10 years and almost no one cares about it. And you're an expert on it. You know all the politicians and you know all the, all the stories and you know all the storylines. And you, you have contacts everywhere. You know, of a country like the back of your hand. And suddenly it becomes the focal point of the world's attention and it becomes the greatest story in the entire world. And of course, you're prepared in a way that all, all these other people who paratroop in are not prepared, and you have to make the best of it. And you have to tell stories from people who wouldn't otherwise have access to the media. And you have to explain, there's so much bad stuff in terms of quality of reporting coming out of Ukraine because so many amateurs went in. In any given situation, there are lots of people who come to a war zone. You know, in wars, people, they make their bones, they become rich, they become famous, they get good looking lovers. Everyone gets paid in the currency that they want. Right? But this is my country. I've been at this for 10, 12 years. I don't begrudge anyone coming to want to tell the story. Some people are opportunists in life and some people are extraordinarily generous and gracious. And it almost doesn't matter what people's motivations are. I don't care about why you came here. I care about the quality of the work. And a lot of the work was pretty bad because people didn't have local political context, didn't have language skills. And a lot of that reporting was so-so. I made the most of it, being an area expert. And also being a local, I did what I had to do. I wish I'd done more. I wish I went 500% as opposed to 250%. But everyone has their limits. Manya: What got lost? With the poor reporting, what do you think with the stories that you captured, or what do you wish you had captured, giving that additional 250%? Vladislav: Yeah. It's a great question. I wish that I had known now what I know a year ago, but that's life in general. About where the battles would be and what kinds of people and what kinds of frontline pounds would have particular problems getting out to particular places. For example, I know now a lot more about the evacuation of certain ethnic communities. The Gagauz, the Greeks. Ukraine is full of different kinds of people. It's a mosaic. I know now a lot about the way that things happened in March and April. Particular communities went in to help their own people. Which is great. It's fine. a lot of very interesting characters wound up in different places. Much of Ukrainian intelligentsia, they wound up outside the country. A lot stayed, but a lot did wind up in different places like Berlin and the Baltics. Uh, amazing stories from, uh, the volunteers like the Chechens and the Georgians and the Lithuanians and the Belarus who came to fight for Ukraine. Just, you know, I wish I'd kept up with the guys that I was drinking with the night before. I was drinking with like six officers the night before, and two of 'em are alive. Mm or three alive now. I was with the head of a Georgian Legion two nights before the war. Hang out with some American CIA guys and people from the guys from the American, actually a couple of girls, also hardcore American girls from the US Army who were operatives and people at our embassy in Kyiv who didn't get pulled out. These are our hardcore people who after the embassy left, told whoever wanted to stay on the ground to stay. I met some very interesting people. I wish I'd kept up with them. I don't, I don't know what happened with them or what, what their war experiences were like. So, you know. Yeah. Life is full of regrets. Manya: You talked a little bit about the ethnic communities coming in to save people and to get them out. How did the Jewish communities efforts to save Ukrainian Jews compare to those efforts? Did you keep tabs on that? Movement as well. Vladislav: Oh, yeah. Oh, in fact, I worked on that actually,  to certainly to a smaller extent than other people or whatever. I certainly helped whatever I could. It was such a mad scramble and it was so chaotic in the beginning of a war. The first two weeks I would be getting calls from all over the world. They would call me and they would say this and this and this person, I know this person needs to get out. There were signal groups of volunteers, exfiltration organizations, special services people, my people in the Ukrainian Jewish community who were all doing different things to get Jews out. Tens of thousands of people were on these lists. And I would figure out to the extent possible with about 50 people, 40 to 50 people,  what their risk level was. And I would give 'em advice. I have a gay friend, one of my wife's business partners, who was the head of a major television station. And he would, he would've been on the Kill list because he was in part of intelligentsia and he was gay. I gave him particular advice on where to go.  I said, go to this village–and men aren't allowed of the country, and he wasn't the kind of guy who was gonna fight. I said, go to a particular place. I told him, go to this village and sit here and don't go anywhere for two months. And he did this. Other people needed to be gotten out. Holocaust survivors, especially. We have horrific incidents of people who survived Stalin's war and Hitler's war and who died of heart attacks under their beds, hiding from Russian missiles. There were many stories of Holocaust survivors. Typically, it's old women by this point. It's not it's not gentleman. Women do live longer. Older women in their nineties expiring in a bunker, in an underground metro station or under their bed hiding from missiles, you know. Horrific stories. but people who survived Auschwitz did get killed by the missiles. We have stories like that. And so to continue, there were many people working on getting elderly Jews out. Getting Jewish women out. Jewish kids out. There were, in fact, there were people working on getting all sorts of people out. And that's still going on. And I met a Jewish member of the Ukrainian parliament last night who did this for two months. Uh, I saw, I saw my acquaintance who I hadn't seen in two years. Yeah. There are a lot of people I haven't seen in a year, obviously, for the obvious reasons. I saw an acquaintance who's an Israeli educated Ukrainian member of parliament. He spent the first three months just evacuating Jews, driving convoys of special forces guys, former Mossad guys, special operatives into cities like Mariupol, Chernigev to get Jews out. Literally driving through minefields at a certain point with buses full of elderly Jews. And he told me last night that they got 26,000 Jews out. Just in his organization, which was Special Forces guys, Ukrainian police volunteers, Ukrainian Jewish guys who came back from Israel with IDF training, a motley collection of people. But they set up an organization and they went in, and they got people out. Manya: That's amazing. So I know before, when we spoke before you were splitting your time between Ukraine  and France, because your wife is of French descent as well. For your most recent piece for Tablet, the most recent one that I've read, you were in Tel Aviv doing an interview. So where have you spent most of your time, in this past year? Vladislav: In my head. Manya: Yeah. Understandable. Vladislav: I've spent, if I had to count up the dates of my passport, 40 to 50% of my time in Ukraine, over the last, less than the last three months for various family reasons and, you know, working on my book But half the time in Ukraine, in and out. I've been all over, spent a lot of time on the front. That was intense. That was really intense. Manya: You mean as a war correspondent on the front lines? Vladislav: Yeah,I was in Sievierodonetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Lysychansk, Mykolaiv. I was all over the front. I was with the commanding general of the Southern front in a car, driving back from the battle of  Kherson, and we got stripped by a Russian sniper three times and they hit our car. They just missed by like a couple of centimeters, side of a thing. And the guy actually usually drove around in an armored Hummer. But the armored Hummer was actually in the shop getting repaired that day and was the one day he had an unarmored Hummer. And we were just in an unarmed car, in an unarmed command car, black Mercedes, leaving the war zone a couple of kilometers out, just a Russian reconnaissance sniper advanced group just, you know, ambushed us. They were waiting for us to, maybe they were just taking pot shots at a command car, but they were waiting for us as we were leaving. Took three shots at us and the car behind us with our bodyguards radioed, they're shooting, they're shooting. I heard three whooshes and three pings behind it. Ping, ping, ping. And we all thought in the car that it was just rocks popping off the the wheels. But actually it was a sniper. So, you know, there, there was a lot of that. It was very intense. Manya: Did you wear flak jackets? Vladislav: Yeah, well, we took 'em off in the car. When, when you're on the front line, you wear everything, but when you get out of the front line, and you're just driving back, you don't wanna drive around with it, so you just take it off in the car. And that's exactly when they started shooting us. Yeah. They would've gotten us, if they'd been a little bit luckier. Manya: Well, you moderated a panel at the Kiev Jewish Forum last week. Our CEO, Ted Deutch and AJC Europe Director Simone Rodan-Benzaquen, were also there. Your panel focused on the new Ukraine. What does that mean, the new Ukraine? What does that look like? Vladislav: Thank you for asking about that. Let me start with talking a little bit about that conference. Along with Mr. Boris Lozhkin, the head of Ukrainian Jewish Confederation. I put together with Tablet where I'm the European culture correspondent, wonderful, wonderful conference. It is the fourth annual Kiyv Jewish Forum. It took place in Kiyv for the last three years, but today, obviously this year, it won't be for the obvious reason and we put together a conference so that people understand the issues at stake, understand the position of Ukrainian Jewish community, understand the myriad issues involved with this war. Just a wonderful, wonderful conference that I really enjoyed working on with remarkable speakers. Running the gamut from Leon Panetta, Boris Johnson. Your own Mr. Deutch. Just wonderful, wonderful speakers. And, six really great panels, and 20 wonderful one-on-one interviews with really interesting people. So please go to the website of the Kiev Jewish Forum or Tablet Magazine and/or YouTube, and you'll find some really interesting content, some really interesting conversations, dialogues about the state of war, the state of Ukrainian Jewry, the state of Ukrainian political identity and the new Ukraine. Manya: I should tell our listeners, we'll put a link to the Kiyv Jewish Forum in our show notes so that they can easily access it. But yeah, if you don't mind just kinda elaborating a little bit about what, what does the new Ukraine look like? Vladislav: Well, we're gonna see what the new Ukraine will look like after the Russians are driven out of the country. It's gonna look completely different. The demographic changes, the political changes, the cultural changes will play out for decades and maybe a hundred years. These are historical events, which will have created traumatic changes to the country and to Eastern Europe, not just to Ukraine, but all of eastern Europe. From along the entire crescent, from Baltics to Poland, down to Hungary, through Moldova, Belarus. Everything will be changed by this war. This is a world historical situation that will have radically, radically changed everything. And so Ukraine as a political nation has changed dramatically over the last seven years since the Maidan revolution. And it's obviously changed a lot since the start of the war a year ago. It's a completely different country in many ways. Now, the seeds of that change were put into place by the political process of the last couple of years, by civil society, by a deep desire of the resilient Ukrainian political nation to change, to become better, to transform the country. But for the most part, the war is the thing that will change everything. And that means creating a new political nation. What that will look like at the end of this, that's hard to say. A lot of these values are deeply embedded. I know it's unfashionably essentialist to talk about national character traits, but you know, again, I'm an Eastern European, so I can get away with a lot of things that people can't here. And there are such things as national character traits. A nation is a collection of people who live together in a particular way and have particular ways of life and particular values. Different countries live in different ways and different nations, different people have different traits. Just like every person has a different trait and some are good and some are bad, and some are good in certain situations, bad in other situations. And everyone has positive traits and negative traits. And you know, Ukraine like everyone else, every other nation has positive traits. Those traits of: loving freedom, being resilient, wanting to survive, coming together in the times of war are incredibly generative in the middle of this conflict. One of the interesting things about this conflict that is shown, the way that all the different minorities in the country, and it's a country full of all kinds of people, all sorts of minorities. Not just Jews, but Greeks and Crimean Tatars, Muslims, Gagauz, Turkish speaking Christians in my own Odessa region, Poles on the Polish border, Lithuanian Belarus speakers on the Belarusian border. People who are of German descent, though there are a lot fewer of them since World War II. All sorts of different people live in Ukraine and they've come together as a political nation in order to fight together, in a liberal and democratic way. Whereas Russia's also an empire of many different kinds of people, And it's also been brought together through autocratic violence and authoritarian, centralized control. This is a war of minorities in many ways, and so a lot of the men dying from the Russian side are taken from the minority regions like Dagestan, Borodyanka, Chechnya. Disproportionate number of the men dying from the Russian side are also minorities, disproportionate to their share of the Russian Federation's population. In some circles it's a well known fact, one of the military hospitals on the Russian side, at a certain point, the most popular name amongst wounded soldiers, was Mohammed. They were Muslim minorities, from Dagestan, other places. There are a lot of Muslims in Russia. Manya: That is truly a heartbreaking detail. Vladislav: And they're the ones that are the poorest and they're the ones who are being mobilized to fight Ukrainians. Manya: So you're saying that literally the face of Ukraine, and the personality, the priorities of the nation have been changed by this war. Ukrainians have become, what, more patriotic, more militant? Militant sounds … I'm afraid that has a bad connotation. Vladislav: No, militant's great. You know, Marshall virtues. . . that's good. Militant is, you know, that's an aggressive word. Marshall virtues is a good word. Surviving virtues. It's amazing the way Ukrainian flags have encapsulated a kind of patriotism in the western world, which was in many ways unthinkable for large swaths of the advanced population. I mean, you see people who would never in a million years wave an American or British or French flag in Paris, London, and New York and Washington, wave around Ukrainian flags. Patriotism, nationalism have very bad connotations now in our decadent post-industrial West, and, Ukrainians have somehow threaded that needle of standing up for remarkable values, for our civilization, for our security alliances after the war, for the democratic world order that we, that we as Americans and Western Europeans have brought large swaths of the world, while also not becoming really unpleasantly, jingoistic. While not going into,  racism for the most part, while not going into, for the most part into unnecessary prejudices. They fight and they have the best of traditional conservative values, but they're also quite liberal in a way that no one else in eastern Europe is. It's very attractive. Manya: They really are unified for one cause.  You mentioned being shot at on the front lines of this war. This war has not only changed the nation, it has changed you. You've become a war correspondent in addition to the arts and culture correspondent you've been for so many years. And you've continued to report on the arts throughout this horrific year.  How has this war shaped Ukrainian artists, its literary community, its performing arts, sports?   Vladislav: First of all, unlike in the west, in, in Eastern Europe. I mean, these are broad statements, but for the most part, in advanced western democracies, the ruling classes have developed different lifestyles and value systems from much of the population. We're not gonna get into why that is the case, but I, as a insider-outsider, I see that. It's not the case in Eastern Europe yet, and certainly not in Ukraine. The people who rule the country and are its elites, they are the same culturally, identity wise as the people that they rule over. So the entire, let's say ruling elite and intelligentsia, artistic class. They have kids or sons or husbands or nephews at war. If we went to war now in America, much of the urban population would not have a relative who died. If a hundred thousand Americans died right now would not be, you would probably not know 10 people who died, or 15 people who died. Manya: It's not the same class system. Vladislav: Correct. America and the western world, let's say western European world from Canada down to the old, let's say Soviet borders or Polish borders, they have developed a class system, a caste system that we don't have. You could be a billionaire, and still hang out with your best friend from high school who was a worker or a bus driver. That doesn't happen here so often, for various reasons. And so a larger proportion of the intelligentsia and the artistic classes went to fight than you would expect. I know so many writers and artists and painters, filmmakers who have gone off to fight. A lot, in fact, I'd say swabs of the artist elite went off to fight. And that's very different from here. And this will shape the arts when they come back. Already you have some really remarkable, interesting things happening in, in painting. Not cinema because cinema's expensive and they're not really making movies in the middle of a war. Certain minor exceptions. There's going to be a lot, a lot of influence on the arts for a very long time. A lot of very interesting art will come out of it and the intelligentsia will be strengthened in some ways, but the country's losing some of its best people. Some of its very, very, very best people across the professions are being killed. You know, dozens of athletes who would've been competing next year in the ‘24 Olympics in Paris are dead on the front lines. Every week I open up my Twitter on my Facebook or my social media and I see another athlete, you know, pro skater or a skier or  Cross Country runner or someone who is this brilliant 19, 20 year old athlete who's supposed to compete next year, has just been killed outside of Bakhmut or just been killed outside of Kherson or just been killed outside of Sloviansk or something like this. You read continuously and there's a picture of this beautiful, lovely, young person. who will never compete next year for a gold medal at the Olympics. You see continuously people with economics degrees, people who went to art school being killed at the front. So just as the army, as the Ukrainian army has lost a lot of its best men, a lot of its most experienced soldiers have been killed recently in Bakhmut and in other places, the intelligentsia is taking a wide scale hit. Imagine like 20-30% of America's writers, artists, people who went to art school getting killed at the front or something like that. I don't have statistics, but 10 to 15, 20%. Can you imagine that? What would that do to the society over the long term, If some of its best writers, people who won Pulitzer prizes, people who won national book awards wound up going to the army and getting killed? Manya: When this war ends… Vladislav: When we win, when we win. Manya: When you win, will there be a Ukrainian Jewish community like there was before? What do you see as the future of the Ukrainian Jewish community and how do you think the trauma of this conflict will impact that community? Vladislav: There will be a Jewish Ukrainian community, whether there will be a Russian Jewish community remains to be seen. There will be survivors of the community. A lot of people will go back, we'll rebuild. We will get our demographics back. A lot of people in Ukraine will have already stayed where they're going. There are already a lot of people who have left and after a year their kids got into a school somewhere in the Czech Republic or France or Germany. They're not coming back. There will be a lot of people who will have roots somewhere else. Within the community, certain cities, Jewish life will die out. What was left of the Lugansk, Donetsk Jewish communities is gone now. What was left of Donetsk Jewry is gone. There were a lot of Jews in Mariupol, thousands of Jews. Many of them who survived World War II. Certainly the Mariupol Jewish community has no future. None. Absolutely none. For the obvious reasons. The demographics of the Jewish communities have all changed and we're gonna see over time how all this plays out and sorts itself out. A lot of Jews from Odessa went into Moldova and they will come back. A lot of Jews from Dnipro have been displaced, although the city has not been touched. And they had the biggest Jewish community of like 65-70,000 Jews in Dnipro, and the wealthiest Jewish community and the best financed, the most synagogues. I actually went, before the battle of Sievierodonetsk, I went and I asked the rabbi of Dnipro for his blessing, cause I knew it was going to be a bloodbath. I didn't really want to die, so, you know, I'll try anything once. and it worked. Proofs in the pudding. I'm still here. He's done tremendous work in order to help Jewish communities there. One of the interesting parts of this is that little Jewish communities that had been ethnically cleansed by the Holocaust, which were on their way to dying, which did not have enough Jews in order to reproduce on a long timeline in Western Ukraine. Now because of the influx of Jews from other parts of the country, from the south especially and from the east, now have enough Jews in order for them to continue on. I don't know if anyone knows the numbers and it's too early to say. Places like Lviv had a couple of hundred Jews. They now have several thousand. There are at least three or four minor towns that I can think of in Western Ukraine, which were historically Jewish towns. which did not after the Holocaust, after, Soviet and Post-soviet immigration have enough of a Jewish population in order to have a robust community a hundred years from now, they now do. Now that is a mixed blessing. But the demographics of Jews inside Ukraine have changed tremendously. Just that the demographics of everything in Ukraine has changed tremendously when 40% of a population have moved from one place to another. 8 million refugees, something like 25- 40% of the country are IDPs. Lots of Jews from my part of Ukraine, from the South, have moved to West Ukraine. And those communities, now they're temporary, but nothing is permanent as a temporary solution, as the saying goes. I think Chernowitz, which never had the opportunity, I really love their Jewish community and they're great. And the rabbi and the head of community is a wonderful man. It did not seem to me, the three or four times that I'd visited before the war, Chernowitz, where my family's from, that this is a city that has enough Jews or Jewish institutional life to continue in 50 years. It does now. Is that a good thing, I don't know. That's a different question, but it's certainly changed some things, for those cities. Manya: Vladislav, thank you. Thank you for your moving reports and for joining us here in the studio. It has been such a privilege to speak with you. Please stay safe. Vladislav: Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it. It's really great to check in with you again one year after the last time we spoke. 

Welcome to Freedom Friday w/guest Dr. Steve Turley, join us as we discuss the attempted cancel culture attack on Steve's new Documentary "The Rise of the American Patriot.  How a Remnant church stepped up and saved the premier and why its important to stand with others in times of censorship.https://www.turleytalks.com/https://www.facebook.com/turleytalks/https://twitter.com/DrTurleyTalkshttps://www.instagram.com/turleytalks/https://rumble.com/c/DrSteveTurleyhttps://insidersclub.turleytalks.com/welcome  Welcome to freedom Fridays. This is Dr. Steve Turley. And he is a well, you're an author, you're a movie maker, you have a podcast, you've got a YouTube channel, if you've if you've been on YouTube, I mean, which I haven't you see this guy, and I love. I love your demeanor, your care, your kind of your, your style of commentary, because it's very, it's funny, it's light hearted, you know, because we're looking at some dark subjects. And you bring such a good, just uplifting and entertaining way of looking at some of these things. So I appreciate you coming on the program. Steve  6:17  Oh, thanks, Gary. It's it's, it's my honor, we were just talking earlier, you know, you are in a bluer area and a very, very red state. So I'm in a very, very blue state. And so I guess on the little red dot and that blue state. So we have, we see we see comparable challenges in our own backyards. And I think we can encourage each other a lot through it. Gary Duncan  6:41  Yeah, thank you. Let's talk about your new document that you just came out on the 15th, I believe. And I'll read a little bit about some pushback you got as soon as it came out before it came out. Your your documentary is called the return of the American patriot. Because you're the page you're the professor, patriot, right? Patriot, Professor, Steve  7:00  Patriot professor, that's Gary Duncan  7:02  you, I was thinking, if I had you as a professor, when I was in college, I probably would have stayed awake during history class. Because I mean, your the way you bring about the news and and things that are happening in our culture and in the church and things like that, is it just keeps you it keeps you focused, but entertained enough to to not walk away really ticked off. You know what I'm saying? And you bring a great perspective to it. So talk a little bit about the documentary you've got out, and you're kind of some of the things you've run against, you know, producing Oh, Steve  7:41  yeah, well, so this movie really tries to present that our 20 minute documentary, that kind of hopeful optimism that Ronald Reagan gave to us any great movement is going to have to be optimistic at its very core also ends up eating itself and dies or just look at woke leftism, and just the resentment that killing their movement. Yeah, this returning the American patriot is actually a it's a, it's a documentary on the rise of the Pennsylvania Magga movement. It really is the story of how ordinary Americans who never before involved in politics rose up in mass and mobilized to successfully take on unconstitutional COVID mandates, election integrity issues, woke school boards all across their state. It's a very inspirational story of the people effectively pushing back against the permanent political class. And you would think that anyone who openly supported democracy would be interested in a film like this, you know, it's as democratic as it gets. But little did we know that the very drama we captured on film would actually play itself out in real time for the premiere we had. We had scheduled a live premiere on July 16th, at a local IMAX theater in Lancaster, Pennsylvania called Penn cinemas and they had a 400 seat capacity. We opened up the tickets and we sold out literally in hours. We sold out in 24 hours, those 400 tickets. And then we learned just days before the premiere that a group of woke activists called Stand Up Lancaster cry bullied the movie theater to cancel our premiere. Remember, these are people who actually believe you can work try to wrap your mind around this. These are people actually believe that censorship is a form of free speech. They literally believe that right? They defend big tech and all sorts of censoring us because they say that's their right to their own freedom of speech. That's their Gary Duncan  9:58  free speech. Ah, that's their nobody else's. Steve  10:02  Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Well, sad. Right? Exactly. Again, it's a square circle. It's just, it's beyond absurd. They cry bullied this movie theater to canceled premiere and unfortunately the owner of the theater was a coward and he caved and canceled our contract just days before the scheduled viewing. So there we were without a venue for tickets sold. No venue. So we went to another venue. And it was the Wyndham hotel in Lancaster. And they gave us a contract to rent out their theater venue there. They had hosted the republican party a few months prior to that the state Republican Party, so we thought we were pretty safe with them. And they there was they had an 800 seat capacity. So we doubled our ticket sales again. So it was really like, Oh, this is great. This is awesome. And then the same thing happened. They were they were they weren't just cried bullied, I was told there was even threats of mob violence if they didn't shut us down. And and so there we were two venues canceled. We were being mocked and ridiculed by the local Lancaster paper, which is a total left wing rag. It's the most Whoa, it's called LNP. It is pathetic, their board of editors actually came out and defended these practices. So again, now we have a medium major media outlet local media outlet defending censorship. It's absolutely astonishing. And keep in mind, Gary, keep in mind for a movie no one had ever even seen. This, this was this was the most dangerous movie, no one saw. I mean, literally no one. I hadn't even sat through the whole thing by this time, right? They were getting my staff was gonna surprise me with the whole edited version. So there we were no venue. And that is and this is why I'm so honored to talk with you. That is when the pastors of Christ Community Church and Camphill godly men stepped in, they have a 1200 seat auditorium, replete with a full movie theater quality sound system, massive movie theater size screen, and they offered it to us and their 1200 seat auditorium. We ended up selling all 1200 tickets. Okay, so we went from 400 to 1200. Talk about three fold increase, right? Yeah, God Gary Duncan  12:28  had better plans for you than you thought it and Steve  12:31  that there's no way we could have planned this. We would never have planned our brains don't think that way. Let's plan for a 1200 seat, you know, Premier with Doug Mastriano there and all that sort of stuff, kind of stuff who's running for governor there? They offered to us and the moment these leftists heard about that, they started threatening the church. Okay. Again, this tells you who these people really are. They started threatening the church they were going to contact the IRS which they did. Again, there was an the same media outlets did the exact same thing. You know, violating separation between church and state bringing Doug Mastriani was campaigning for Governor there in person and blah, blah, blah, violating the Johnson Amendment all this nonsense. And and so when it ended up having all of this you know, proverbial dung hitting the fan. Even the lawyer of the church told the pastors you need to drop this, right, because lawyers are risk averse. That's what do you need to drop this? We're getting, we don't want the IRS breathing down our neck and so forth. Those two pastors stood firm. They told their lawyer take a hike. We're standing for liberty and truth. And, and, and they hosted us. We came in 1200 People Doug mastriano, huge premiere, it was absolutely amazing. Electric standing ovation at the end. And in the end, Gary, in the end, seven protesters showed up they weren't even allowed on to the vicinity. They had to hang out on the street across from the church seven protesters with their little arts and crafts, you know, signs document separation between church and state. I think even one guy said I worship Satan something ridiculous right? And, and just to show you that God, God does have a very wonderful sense of humor for his children. Gary, it was raining. So they had to stand out there in the rain, with their masks on looking repulsively ridiculous as people who love faith, family and freedom were all gathered together in an astonishing fellowship. It was absolutely beautiful. You know, Doug master on game got up gave a very great It's just and, and beautiful talk. And it was an amazing testimony to what patriots can do when we all stick together. Gary Duncan  15:09  Wow, that's awesome. As you were talking about that I was getting this picture of this little, tiny weeny little mouse and this huge elephant. And, and it gives me encouragement because I've really focused a lot on where's the church, and I could see how the left and the small 1% or half a percent of a population controls the whole country and my church. And so we really that's encouraging to hear. And and it's who's the church again, is you need to you need to give that name out again, because the people that hosted you and those pastors because they really that's a there and a thing goes for that. Yeah, Steve  15:51  absolutely. Christ Community Church in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, Camp Hill, two words, Pennsylvania, Gary Duncan  15:58  they if you're looking for a church in that in that city, then this is the one to go to, because they that's what you that, to me, that's Ephesians six, you know, when you stand and they're willing to stand against all odds, and that's, that's awesome. Steve  16:13  And just just to drive this home, the pastor when he got up to give the prayer before the whole event, invited everyone of course, if you're looking for churches to come here, and by the way, next week, we're showing another movie 2000 mules. So these guys, are they these guys are the real deal. Gary Duncan  16:32  They are the remnant church. Steve  16:34  They are so bold, it's beautiful. Gary Duncan  16:38  That that is great. What would you so that was the one way churches and the community to you know, leadership in church could get involved? Get your get your documentary and have it hosted at their church? I mean, are you are you pursuing that at all or looking? Steve  17:00  Oh, yeah, no, we've had we had the documentary going around all over the place now at this point. So it just last Thursday. It went live live streaming. So now you can actually stream it live. If you go to the return of the American patriot.com You can get your own copy. And, and absolutely, I think we even have a situation. We have a protocol from where you can you can show it in a mass viewing. Okay. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Gary Duncan  17:31  And I'll put the links in the show notes and all that for a site and all that. What's tell us a little bit about some of the stories or the things that are in the movie are a couple of them just kind of thesis. Steve  17:43  Yeah, well so what it centers on so Pennsylvania is interesting because it is probably the single most Rhino infested state in the nation a lot of people don't know that so when we think of like you know, Republicans in name only write your Neo cons just just PETE Yeah their note well I prefer Diablo Democrat and all but label or you know if they're part of the unit party the Lindsey Graham's the Mitt Romney's the middle Lincoln project, right to Lincoln Lane candy project. Exactly. Liz Cheney. They're there. They're part of the permanent political class. It's radically secularized, radically globalist that hates our culture's customs traditions, hate family, faith, family and freedom. Those things get in the way of their their globalist projects and so forth Gary Duncan  18:34  are wolves in sheep's clothing. Steve  18:36  They really are because they because they campaign is patriots but then they Governor governor's permanent political class members. And when we tend to think of states like that, I mean up until recently, we tend to think of some a place like Arizona where you know, John McCain had such an inordinate effect effects and influence well that's gone now Carrie Lake and Blake masters and Mark Finch him have all crushed that it's now Maga country and Carrie Lake is going to win by the way she's definitely on track and I think like masters gonna have no mark Finch up to he's almost 10 over his opponent. So the these people he's going for Secretary of State so the, you know, you tend to think that these people these rhinos are in places like Arizona or even most recently, like Utah with Mitt Romney and their crazy Governor given his pronouns out and all this sort of nonsense. Okay, keep in mind these are Republicans, but but Pennsylvania is actually the worst Pennsylvania the Republican Party is no different, literally than the Democratic Party when Doug Mastriano one who's a dear Christian brother, amaze me. He's He's literally now the poster boy for Christian nationalism, as they call it today. The big boogeyman we could talk about that, which is a lot of fun, you know, but nevertheless, he, when he got the nomination was almost 50% of the vote with a Guys in that race for the Republican nomination, the top five Republicans in the Senate, his suppose it colleagues, he's a state senator, they all turned around and endorsed the Democrat Josh Shapiro. And keep in mind, Gary, Josh Shapiro is all for unfettered abortion. Right. He's all for, you know transgenderism is all for CRT in our, in our classrooms. I mean, this is full blown woke nonsense and Republicans are endorsing it. This movie is all about moms and dads and grandparents and people who've never been involved at Amish Pennsylvania dodge, all rising up together, mobilizing and organizing and taking back the Republican Party with Doug Mastriano has nomination being sort of the crown jewel of this project, taking back the Republican Party away from these rhinos, these Diablos and giving it back to the people so that the values of faith, family and freedom become the values of the party they want all they want. In the end. It's a process, the technical processes known as re territorialization. Yeah, it's a fancy schmancy word. But what it just simply means what we're seeing today, and this is what I think Christian nationalism actually is. It's if globalism, de territorial losses of globalism, dis embeds and dislodge his political life away from the local and to the trans local to this managerial class that oversees the entire political and economic complex, if globalism, D territory alized his political involvement, what the what the collapse of globalism is basically is a re territorial loss. And it's bringing politics back to the people back to the local back to the county and the community. And what you're seeing in Pennsylvania in particular, but you're seeing it all over Pennsylvania is a microcosm, what you're seeing is these communities, all organizing all across their counties to create a single party, that is once again, upholding the values, interests, concerns of those who love faith, family and freedom. That's all they want. They just want their leaders to represent their values rather than despise them. And that's the movie takes you through the journey of how they did that through the COVID mandate and sanity through the CRT and sanity and through the election. You know, shenanigans in 2020. Gary Duncan  22:43  With would this be sound like a great movie that I need to show in our Davidson County Republican Party group to see how it's done? Because, you know, as we talked earlier, I was I'm in a red state, you know, super majority of Republicans in the state. But in my county, which is the state capital of the Davidson County, which were the state capitalism. It's full blown blue, communist. I mean, those school board is full on communist liberal. I mean, they voted down the Nash, the Republican National Committee come into town for the convention. Yeah, we're, we're, we're going to be paying for people to go across our state employees to go across the state lines to get abortions. I mean, it's just bizarre. And, you know, how do how does a small well, not a small county, but the main county in the state had, how do we fight against this? I mean, were those small, local areas, were they blue? Or were they more red, and people just came together? I know, it's a groundswell of grassroots effort. Steve  23:54  It is so Pennsylvania's can be a little different, because Pennsylvania, so if anything, like we're talking about earlier that the the Republican Party is a bit complacent in Tennessee from from what I'm hearing, or to say, whereas whereas in Pennsylvania, that complacency, characterized the last three decades, and and now there's kind of a reawakening going on. And, yeah, it applying it to your particular locality would be interesting that that's going to involve, I think, some some, you know, creative inventiveness on your part. How do you awaken the population, your own locality, one thing that seems to be doing it and this there's a section in this movie that touches on it, one thing that seems to be doing it is wokeness wokeness is freaking out, even the left. That's something we've got some studies on that now. So we're finding that anything woke will actually tend to split the left. So think of people like Bill Maher, or peers Morgan or a Dave Rubin, either even even even a Jordan Peterson would have said he would have been considered center left. Five years ago, you would have considered himself center left five years ago. They, they they abhor wokeness every bit as much as any conservative wokeness is, is a pourraient to most people. And so the more we push culture wars, and this is what Mastriano is doing. It's what Glenn Younkin did. So well so ingeniously in, in Virginia, back in the 2021 election, where he's pushing CRT CRT soon, and he made Terry McAuliffe actually defend teachers, unions, school boards, and CRT and that split the last half of Macola Fs constituents went back, I don't want that. Whereas the other half were ravenously, eating it up like zombies, you know, eating up a body or something like that. So that's one side of it. But the other side of it is as it's splitting and laugh, woke issues, unite the right woke issue for and again, for lack of better terms left and right, right. But it unites the right unites the Republicans. In other words, if you ask Democrats, do you support this work issue? 50% Say yes. 50% say no, you ask Republicans to support this work is you 100% basically say, No. So Republicans are more likely to come out and vote against a woke issue than Democrats are to come out and vote for it. So pushing the culture wars, from the vantage point of the woke left exposing the woke left, that seems to have a very powerful animating capacity. Gary Duncan  26:48  So how going back to churches again, because that's my thing is Yeah, is because they've got the biggest voice, because they've got people in front of them. And what you just said there is pushing the culture because the church should be the one that changes culture, not the culture, change the church, of course, and we need those pastors and those leaders that will take that very thing and push that narrative of the culture in a biblical way that educates and motivates the people sitting in the pews. And, and I'm not seeing that I'm starting to see a lot around the country happen. And I'm seeing one or two or three maybe churches here in town that do that. But it's not, I don't see it as and that's why I like you, because you're very positive. I'm usually a positive guy. But after 2020, I just went downhill. Yeah, positiveness. Because it saw assault. 2020 is is the dividing point within the church of woke and realism. There because we're in a spiritual war, we're in our spiritual war that I don't think people really get. It's a biblical revelational. In times spiritual war, we've always been in war. But this one takes a different to me, this one takes on a different connotation, because what we're doing to the children, what we're allowing to be done to the children in the name of not offending other people, you know, with masks and all the stuff and then the wokeness in the schools. And I've been to several school board meetings, and I think I've yet to see a pastor stand up, and shame and, and, and preach to the school boards, right about what they're doing. I've seen regular people. And I think that it has to actually some a lot of the movement is coming from the people sitting in the pews that are sick and tired. Yes, what's going on? And there's nothing in the pulpit that says, This is how we deal with transgenderism. This is how we deal with because they don't want to get yelled at. They don't want to leave the church because we had a church split. Pastor left, but he's a very, I'm telling you, Steve burger. I mean, if you ever heard him, right, he's on fire about what we should be doing. Ryan. Steve  29:13  It is it is. It is a a very chilling testimony, that the person who has done more for Christianity and has just recently delivered, perhaps the single best message to the church is from a Canadian psychologist who doesn't even go to church. Gary Duncan  29:35  Jordan Peterson? Oh, yes. Okay. Okay. Right. Steve  29:38  Right. I mean, that's it. That's a testimony to either Well, I should say it's a judgment. I mean, that's, I mean, if you think about how, what he has been able to say, I mean, I don't know if you saw his message to Christian churches. I like to Well, yeah, it's very good. It's very good. I've got on my channel. I did a little commentary. on it, but it was absolutely brilliant. Woke I mean, he he made he didn't he didn't mince words, woke ism is a crippled religion. It is an it is a it is a pernicious violent ideology that wants to erase the church. And so the only way the church is going to push back against woke ism is by not being woke. But being the opposite. And and you cannot be more opposite woke than to speak into the hearts and minds of the men of your congregation. You've got to speak to the men. And you've got to let men all over the nation know that if they want to be men. And if they want a place where they're allowed to be men without being disparaged. The only place is the Christian church. That's when you see revival. When you see men come because you know the old saying if you if you when children and your evangelistic efforts if you win children, you win children, okay? If you if you if you win, wives, you know, you win wives, but if you win, husbands, you win the husbands, you win the wives and you win the children, there's a right there's, there's an order to which God created the world a creational order. And woke ism is just throwing it all into utter chaos, as did Satan and Genesis chapter three, the serpent, turn the world upside down, right? It's supposed to be God, man, woman animals, and we're just not in that, that kind of order. And Satan that the serpent turns around and makes it animal woman man and God's not even there. Right. So that's the great inversion that we've seen. So woke ism is very, it's just, it's just in line with that. So what we entered understand what's really going on big picture seems to me is that for the last 100 years or so that's those were when the seeds were being sold sown, but it really came to fore in the 1940s, as I understand it. Before 1940, the Supreme Court saw religion as a public good, as did all of our founding fathers. They all believed in what's called an accommodationist conception of religion. And the accommodations, conceptual religion is church and state work together in partnership for the betterment of human society, to create a republic of virtue of free men, because they knew the founding fathers knew that the only way we could be free, is if we were self governing, but the only way we could be self governing is if we had if we we tapped into a virtue tradition of some kind. And for them, of course, 98% of them that's going to be Christian and formed fruits of the Spirit, you name it, right Sermon on the Mountain, like 10 commandments, but the only way you can really tap into a faith tradition genuinely, is if you're free. Right? So and the only way you're ultimately free, is if you're if you're cultivating some kind of virtue, but the only way you're cultivating virtue is by tapping into some kind of faith. And the only way you're tapping to real true faith is through freedom which grows virtue which God has faith with God is free. That's called the Golden Triangle of freedom. And so they understood the church is indispensable to a free people. You have to have a sacred vision of the good to which we can all aspire, in order for us to be a people living in Liberty walking in Liberty, right? The Galatians passage barks a lot. For liberty, you have been set free. After 1940 For whatever reason, it's hard to pinpoint why but obviously, it seems to be something in the legal the law schools in the universities, the Supreme Court started instituting a separation test doctrine between church and state. So while the accommodations doctrine always made a clear distinction between church and state, the state's not the church, the church, not the state, Christ's humanity and divinity, right. They're not commingled in the lie. By Gary Duncan  34:24  grant. That's why they came to America, one of the reasons they got away from England, Steve  34:28  because it was a state church. Exactly. Right. Exactly. Right. So so the church and the state are different, and yet they work together. And that's what made our experiments so powerful, so amazing, because freedom is what holds it all together, in that sense. And so then, after 1940, the Supreme Court started instituting more of a separations for you and we know that because they started quoting from a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote rode to the Danbury, Baptists, Danbury, Connecticut, I'm not born not too far away from there, where he used this phrase against, not even in the Constitution, Jefferson didn't even write the constitution is not even in the Constitution, you know the phrase, the separation between church and state. And before 1940. That phrase was only used as I understand about a handful of times in Supreme Court decisions and deliberations in the light after 1940. It's been used 1000s of times. So something happened there. And what that did in effect is it drove the church from the public square, and consigned it solely into the private sphere of life care. You see it in our urban planning, you know, think of your New England Commonwealth, what was the most prominent building on the town green, the steeple, the church, absolutes, the church, you go into the medieval towns of Europe, the most prominent building that you see in the center of this beautiful medieval city, it's the church, right, and the castle is right across from often in the shadow of the church. So in our urban planning, we can see the the role the place that the church played in a flourishing human society today in modern urban planning, where's the church? Gary Duncan  36:25  Not it's beside the coffee shop, Steve  36:28  you got it. That's it, you got it. It's in the place of consumption, and consumerism. So you've got your, you've got your pizza hut, you know, you've got your dry cleaners, and you've got first Methodist, you've got it, it's push, it's pushed into the periphery, the private sphere of life. And here's how we tie it all together, Gary, there is no way that the church can proclaim truth, social truth, cultural truth, in that position, any more than Pizza Hut can. That's what happened to us. We got privatize, we were talking about it. Earlier in the break. You said it perfectly belonged to the church today, in most people's minds, even inside the church, thank God for the Holy Spirit, converting our hearts. But even inside the church, our social conditions have trained us to believe that being part of the church is being part of a club. It's being part of you might as well be part of weightwatchers right or what our yoga club or whatever it is, it has no objective moral truth to its proclamation anymore. So it's now ridiculed and laughed at and dismissed, and the like, what pastors are going to have to rediscover. And by the way, the Maga movement is right there to help them with this. What they're going to have to rediscover is a voice that can speak publicly. Again, this is not personal, private truth. Christ is truth, the law galls holds the universe together. And when we proclaim God's truth, that's true for everyone, regardless of whether you believe it or not, because that's public and a private, I get it personal, private, Subjective Truth. That's your deal. That's my deal. You like pistachio? I like chocolate. No problem, I got it. But when you're dealing with public, social life, truth is objective. It applies to all not just some, it's objective. It's not just subjective, it's obligatory. It's not just optional. Now, of course, we're free to respond. But that freedom of response is predicated on the objectivity of that truth. And that's what our pastors have to rediscover, when they rediscover it. They were discovered this that we're on fire. Gary Duncan  38:50  Yeah, I think, like you're saying, we've lost the identity or am I'm really about waking up the leadership, because the leaders are what leads the people, not the people lead the leader, but that's kind of where it's going. But we've lost our identity and our authority in our power. I mean, I'm reading the Bible, and it's saying, you know, these signs shall follow those who believe you will cast out demons you will heal the sick, right? speak in new tongues, and I'm looking around I'm going well, when's the last time I cast out a demon? Or anybody's cast out a demon and healed the sick and it's like, that's our heritage. God gave us through the Holy Spirit these abilities when he chooses to do those things. And if if leadership is not telling us and helping us, it's because that's the purpose. The purpose of these gifts are to edify the church so we can go out and do these things. And it just it just and that's why 2020 blew me away so bad is because the deception that came about And it's like, who are we anymore? And no wonder young people in the Millennials don't want to get involved in a church unless it's happy clappy and coffee and smoke machines and fog machines and all that kind of stuff. You know, it's a country club again. So and the one thing I'm, and here's my negative, so help me out here. I think when we get to the when we do wake up the left, and the evil that's behind the globalists and all the things, they're not going to let it go too long. I mean, you're talking about, it's getting time to where we're going to sacrifice more than just our good name, our lives, our livelihood, there's people out there now doing that and praise God to those that are standing and fighting. But I think that what the the leadership of the church needs to really get ready, is to gird up, because I see the coming age of the church not being happy clappy, but it's gonna be persecuted beyond belief where we're at coming. You see what they did in 2020? What's What are they willing to do if they're willing to kill children? And they're willing to euthanize the older and they're willing to, to propagate a bio weapon across the whole world? What are they willing to do? Ya know, it's scary when the church does stand up, what are they willing to do and we got to be ready for it. We got to know how to fight back. And that's my whole thing. We're not fighting. We've raised a bunch of in the last 50 years, we've raised a bunch of chocolate soldiers. You're in the first moment of any heat, we melt like, like little statues of a bunny rabbit. Steve  41:42  But that's what privatized faith does it right. It has it has no backbone, you know, it's like, you know, you renounce pistachio ice cream, I'm gonna punch you okay, I pronounced that. Right. That's that. That's what privatize faith does? It is it is. There's no I mean, when Alexander Solzhenitsyn came over to the United States, and gave his Harvard address in 1979, that amazing address called the world split apart. One of the first things he did it, I mean, everybody thought he was gonna go rah, rah West, he actually said no, Soviet Union is pretty horrible, pretty terrible. But the West is just a secular, it's just as atheistic and you're gonna go in the same direction, you're just you're doing it with four car garages, you know, you make it a little bit more tolerable. And he said, the one thing he noticed about the West, the principal characteristic that caught his eyes, we've lost courage. And in the classical world, the Four Virtues, wisdom, moderation, justice, and courage of those four, and that, you know, corresponds to the four elements of the cosmos. Right, that's all held together by the law girl. So we've got our four gospels, right, that all held together by Christ, the logos themselves, and then we have the additional faith, hope and love virtues and all that sort of stuff. It's all part of this amazing world, this identity would belong to 2000 years old, and even stretching before that with these, these pagan traditions that end up getting transfigured and, and by Christ himself. I mean, Solzhenitsyn pointed out, you know, of those Four Virtues, all the ancients recognize courage was the most important one, because without courage, you don't have the fortitude to defend the other three. Without courage, you can't defend, in this case, faith, hope and love. You can't defend it. You can't defend faith, family and freedom requires. It requires courage. So I think, look, I think the good news in this is, again, you look around the world and what's happened. You had 70 years of Soviet communism ravaged land. That was the jewel of Byzantium. Okay, so you're talking Czarist Russia, 60,000, ornate, gorgeous churches. Some of the biog some of the historical biographies you'll read, I mean, they weren't incredibly Pieta stick people, extraordinarily so Bolsheviks come in, and literally ravaged it so that by the end of that 70 year period, interesting, interesting number of by the way, at the end of that 70 year period, there were only 2000 functioning churches left they were gone, that it was going through 1000 monasteries during the Czar's period. Not a single monastery was an operation when the when the Soviet Union fell. And by the way, keep in mind, keep in mind, the very day the Soviet Union officially fell the most atheistic regime on the planet. Of course, it was December 25. It was Christmas Day, right. So a new birth happened because now here we are 30 years later. And by the way, this is this is true for much of eastern Europe as a whole 30 years later, a Russia is now approaching upwards of five 50,000 churches, they are on track by the year 2050, to be in full restoration of that czarist orthodox glory and the book by John Burgess, a theological historian at Pittsburgh seminary, where he went out to study the role of Christianity in Russia right now, what happened in Russia, in effect was communism got replaced by orthodoxy. So the vacuum that communism left was filled by going back to their identity by going back to their civilization, their cultures, a customs, and traditions. So for right or wrong, all that sort of stuff, you're not getting it all that what we have to understand is, that was after 70 years of the single most incessant atheistic regime on the planet that was literally killing millions upon millions upon millions of people. And here we are 30 years after it's collapsed. And the church is on fire. They're like never before there was a 2012 study done by the journal for the scientific study of religion. And they they had a marker of religious revivals, they had about seven different gauges for determining the level of religious revival. And they concluded there's no way around it. Christianity is on fire. So is Soviet Union falls and 1992. Only about 3019 91 Sorry, 30% of the population because themselves Christian, today. 70% does, it's hot. It's cool to be a Christian, and we're like we were talking about earlier today, what they were able to do is they were able to rediscover it and re weave Christianity into their culture into their, into their life. We they could do that with with, you know, their Russian Orthodox resources. And imagine what we can do with our evangelical resources. The way we can reawaken the church and weave it into every aspect of life. So yeah, it's gonna be dark. No question. Yeah, there's a Friday upon us. But you know what day follows Friday. Darkness of Friday is always followed by Sunday. Always. That's the Christian gospel all ways guaranteed. And when we have that faith, when we have that confidence, we cannot be intimidated. And when we cannot be intimidated, we like an axe, we begin turning the world upside down. Gary Duncan  47:40  Oh, great. I feel better already. No, that's good. That's good. I know you gotta run. One last question. We're gonna take it. See real quick. I'll edit this out. Sure. Okay. And you may have already answered but so where do you see us going from here in our culture? I know you're involved with reawakening tour. You've been involved with that. So with the church, do you? Where do you Well, let me ask you this. Where do you see England going? Now that we've got this new monarchy? That Well, Queen Elizabeth, she died? Okay. Sure. Sure. 70 years in reign? That's an interesting historical marker right there. Steve  48:35  Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Which? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Cuz in many ways, she really was the last monarch of Christendom, of real genuine Christian emerge, she was, she was anointed, she was literally anointed with the Holy oil as Queen back in her and throne, their coronation 1953 It was the same coronation ceremony that goes all the way back to the 10th century to their very first king. And, and she did she I think she she held that position brilliantly, as only she could is sort of the last, you know, Elizabeth and member of the Elizabethan era, as it were, where we go from here is very difficult to see because England has again like we do they have a choice and but England? Well, no, it's going to be the same to be the same. In many respects. The choice is, are you going to continue down this futile road of flippant leftist skepticism and doubt and secularism? Or are you going to rediscover in many ways, like Her funeral was a call to do? And this by the way goes for Anglican clergy, who were probably even worse than most lay people on this woke nonsense stuff. I know I went to school with them. in Durham University, are they going to re embrace truth as understood in 2000 years of the Christian tradition unbroken? Or are they going to go the way of secular leftist liberalism? If they go back to truth that is going to be the most unifying, powerful, socially revivifying choice they could possibly make. If they go down the road of secular flippant you know, liberalism, the UK will dismember you can write that down. The UK will dismember it will fall and we're talking was we're talking first all of its abroad territories, you know, in the, in the, in the Caribbean area and so forth and Pacific and it's, it's going to dismember there and then you'll start to see the Scottish referendums come out, you're gonna start seeing United Ireland movements come out like never before, you're gonna start seeing Welsh nationalism come out, like you're gonna see English nationalism come out like never before we start breaking apart what it'll break apart and and it'll start tribal laws, and there's no way and I think we're going that's inevitably what's gonna happen with us. Because that's, we're already there. The 35 nations have been added to the world map since 1991. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, we're already there. Write a text that today is more popular than it's ever been, right, the Texas independence movement. I mean, it doesn't matter what we're looking at. Everywhere we look whether it's the breakaway republics and Donetsk and Lugansk, in the, in the Donbass region in Ukraine, whether it's Transnistria Transnistria, is a breakaway Republic from Moldova that wants to hook up back with with Russia, or Burundi and Rwanda or Slovakia and the Czech Republic, the two Sudan's, you name it everywhere we look, the world is breaking up. And the question is, what can hold it together? What holds the nation together and you said, you use the word culture, and the church being at the center of culture, we have to remember what the word is at the heart of the word culture. And that's the Latin cult cult us. We're not talking about people knocking on your doors, giving you tracks and I had to lead us to worship or something like that. Right? Right. We're talking the old old word cultist, meaning worship, the place of worship, your culture always comes out of, it flows out of the font of what you worship. And if we are going to worship, if we're gonna go back to worship God, in the way that has sustained Western civilization now, for 2000 years, we're gonna have another 2000 years, no problem, if we're gonna go and embrace this brave new world, things will break up. There's no way the brave new world of secular liberalism, gloves, and so forth is going to shatter, it's going to collapse. And we're going to break up into all of our own different regional loyalties or, or ideological loyalties or religious worlds, whatever it is, or increasing like BLM and so forth. Racial loyalties, we're going to try belies breakup and there's nothing that will stop that apart from returning to our Christian faith, the Christian faith alone will hold the UK together, the Christian faith alone will hold the United States together, I am very optimistic about the United States. I have to be honest, I'm not particularly optimistic with the UK. Gary Duncan  53:49  So the church is the glue that holds it all together, our Christian faith, and so that if we can regain our identity, which I think that's kind of the grassroots the move that that's coming along is regaining our roots in our belief, and in America, the church, and what are our power and authority is in the culture, I think you're right, if we can regain that back and take it back from the darkness, we do still have some time we are the salt and the law. And so ultimately, that's, that's our job is to, to, to push back evil, and to you know, continue to have freedom in this country.

Highlights:     “The level of gaslighting that's going on right now with these utterly massive missile attacks, which Putin made clear today was just an appetizer, is totally indicative of a decrepit corrupt political class of aristocratic elites completely removed from reality.” “Now with the annexation, Ukraine's attacks on Lugansk and Donetsk and Zaporozhe and Kherson are officially attacks against Russian territorial integrity. So, Putin now has purposely put Russia in the position of being the INVADED nation, and now he's no longer limited by the strictures and restraints of a Special Military Operation.” “Putin isn't desperate. He's not at the end of his rope. Throw all of that fake news away, Putin is part of a new rising world, a world that no longer abides by the rules set for it by the Dolts in DC or the Bullies in Brussels.”  Timestamps:        [01:42] Russia's massive barrage of missile attacks against Ukraine [03:30] How the lamestream media is reporting on this trying to gaslight it [05:25] What's really going on here with the latest Russian attack [10:16] What can we expect that will happen next Resources:  Get Over 66% OFF All of Mike Lindell's Products using code TURLEY: https://www.mypillow.com/turley Get 25% on ALL ITEMS with Code TURLEY at https://mystore.com/turley 1196 That Moment CNN Realizes IT'S OVER!!!

Come ampiamente previsto il 95% dei votanti di Donetsk e Lugansk, le regioni occupate militarmente dall'esercito di Mosca il 24 febbraio, si è detto favorevole all'integrazione nella Federazione russa. Un esito scontato, visto il clima d'intimidazione in cui si è svolta la consultazione, come racconta l'inviato Francesco Battistini. Ma adesso, per Putin (e solo per lui), lo status di quelle terre cambia: con quali conseguenze sulla guerra? A rispondere è il professor Piero Graglia, che insegna Storia delle Relazioni internazionali all'Università statale di Milano.Per altri approfondimenti:- L'imbroglio del voto per diventare “russi”: soldati alle spalle, schede aperte e lavatrici in premio https://bit.ly/3xZ4deg- Ucraina, ai referendum-farsa vincono i sì: che cosa cambia ora https://bit.ly/3rhot7c- La Cina sui referendum in Ucraina: il messaggio a Putin e il “passo di lato” di Xi Jinping https://bit.ly/3rfbwL1

In Donbass, Lugansk e Donetsk, e nelle aeree degli oblast di Kherson e Zaporizhzhia, si vota a partire da oggi sull'annessione alla Russia. Intanto è iniziata la convocazione dei 300mila riservisti annunciata dal presidente Putin, che ha scatenato proteste nelle città russe e fughe verso Paesi confinanti.

Primo giorno di referendum per le Repubbliche popolari di Donetsk e Lugansk. I cittadini ucraini dovranno scegliere se unirsi o meno alla Russia. Ma quale fondamento giuridico hanno queste votazioni? Lo abbiamo chiesto a Luigi Crema, professore di Diritto internazionale all'Università degli studi di Milano. Nei territori liberati, le forze ucraine stanno scoprendo le prove delle torture inflitte dai militari russi ai civili. Ne abbiamo parlato con Maksym Klymovets, procuratore dell'ufficio distrettuale di Kharkiv.

Highlights:     “It has just been announced, that the breakaway republics in the Ukrainian Donbas region, Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as the now Russian-allied occupied regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are indeed holding a referendum, very similar to that of Crimea several years back, a collective referendum on officially joining the Russian Federation!” “This is a radical game changer! And that's because, even perhaps as early as next week, after the Russian Duma votes on accepting the results of the referendum and Putin signs it, these regions will now be formally and legally recognized by the Kremlin as an intrinsic and permanent part of the Russian Federation.” “We are seeing nothing less than a true alternative world order rising!

Una base del grupo Wagner fue atacada la semana pasada en el Donbás. El ataque fue un éxito, tanto operativo como propagandístico porque la presencia de esta compañía de mercenarios rusos en el frente ucraniano es un secreto celosamente guardado por el Kremlin. Rusia lo niega, pero desde hace meses se sabe que mercenarios bien pagados y mejor entrenados contribuyen al esfuerzo de guerra ruso allá donde se les requiere. Wagner, que está vinculada a un oligarca muy cercano a Vladimir Putin llamado Yevgueni Prigozhin, se creó hace ocho años y desde entonces ha participado en todas las campañas bélicas en las que Rusia ha estado metida desde Crimea hasta Siria pasando la guerra en el Donbás. Se sabía ya que Wagner estaba operando en Ucrania, pero no son fáciles de detectar ya que se trata de unidades formadas por soldados muy bien preparados que saben esconderse. Son, además, contingentes paramilitares extraordinariamente móviles por lo que es todavía más difícil seguirles la pista. Si la artillería ucraniana dio con ellos fue por casualidad, por el error de un corresponsal de guerra ruso llamado Serhy Sreda, que difundió una fotografía en la que aparecía posando con un grupo de mercenarios de Wagner en Lugansk. Publicó la foto en su canal de Telegram y en ella era perfectamente reconocible el nombre de una calle de la ciudad de Popasna, a corta distancia del frente. El ejército ucraniano no tuvo más que ajustar el objetivo en uno de los sistemas Himars proporcionados por EEUU y disparar. Se desconoce el número de bajas, pero si se sabe que la base de Wagner ha sido destruida gracias a fotografías que ha facilitado Meduza, una agencia rusa de noticias independiente que opera desde Letonia. Wagner trata de moverse siempre en las sombras, por eso fue sorprendente que saltase de este modo tan ruidoso a las portadas de los principales periódicos. El alcance de las operaciones de Wagner en Ucrania es aún desconocido, no sucede lo mismo con el que la compañía tiene en África, donde al parecer les sobra el trabajo. En las guerras de Mali, Mozambique, Libia y la República Centroafricana han participado efectivos de Wagner apoyando a los Gobiernos locales. Junto a eso se dedican a la extracción de oro y diamantes a través de una tupida red de empresas pantalla. En algunos países su influencia es considerable ya que se encargan de la seguridad del presidente a modo de guardia pretoriana. Sobre ellos penden acusaciones de tortura y asesinatos de civiles. El Gobierno ruso niega cualquier tipo de conexión con Wagner, aunque no hace lo propio con su existencia, ya que ésta es hoy tan evidente que negarlo sería inútil. Los Gobiernos occidentales monitorizan la actividad de esta compañía de mercenarios, creen que se trata de una herramienta oficiosa del régimen de Putin para ciertos cometidos que no podrían llevarse a cabo a la luz del día. Wagner sirve para muchas cosas a un coste relativamente bajo. Sirve para reducir el número de bajas oficiales en el frente, para realizar ciertas operaciones muy arriesgadas, para hacer suculentos negocios y para extender la influencia del Kremlin en ciertos países de África que viven en un estado de guerra permanente pero que son ricos en materias primas.

Los ajedrecistas Gari Kaspárov y Anatoli Kárpov protagonizaron en los estertores de la Unión Soviética la rivalidad más feroz de la historia de todos los deportes individuales. No solo fue una rivalidad meramente deportiva, Kárpov era el abanderado de la facción más conservadora de la URSS, y Kaspárov, el irreverente y contestatario representante de la perestroika. Hoy, vuelven a situarse en bandos opuestos en la visión de la guerra de Ucrania. Kárpov es parlamentario en la Duma por el partido de Vladímir Putin y uno de los sancionados por la UE y Estados Unidos por apoyar la declaración de Donetsk y Lugansk como territorios independientes. Kaspárov, exiliado en Nueva York por su oposición al presidente ruso, es uno de los más férreos opositores del régimen. Leontxo García, periodista especializado en ajedrez de EL PAÍS, nos cuenta cómo la historia del ajedrez y la rivalidad entre estos dos grandes maestros explican las tensiones y diversidad de facciones dentro de la propia Rusia y entre este país y Occidente.

Episode Notes Highlights:      “Russia is in full control over the military theater in Ukraine and that it was only a matter of time before the entire Donbas region fell into Russian-allied hands, which Lugansk has officially done. No amount of sanctions, no  amount of weapons, no amount of check writing, with your money, $40 billion dollars worth, was ever going to change that fact.” “As far as the Biden administration is concerned, as well as RINOs like Mitch McConnell and eyepatch McCain, this is all ultimately about defending the liberal world order from total implosion. And that is why you are paying $5 bucks a gallon at the pumps, that's why you're paying for hundred dollar tank-fills, it's so that Biden and the neo-cons can defend ‘the future of  the liberal world order'.” “Increasingly, the world sees the liberal world order as nothing more than a ruse, a  Trojan Horse, as it were, for a kind of modern Western imperialism. And so, in their own unique attempt at ridding themselves once and for all of this liberal order, President Putin and the  whole of Russia is in the process of completely dislodging the totality of their political, economic, and  cultural life away from the neoliberal globalist world.” “The astonishing significance of the Roe reversal for reversing secular  liberalism is, at this point almost inconceivable, and more and more, with each passing day, liberals are starting to come to terms with it.”  Timestamps:       [02:10] Russia taking control over Lugansk and how the Biden administration is still clueless about it [05:27] What is the liberal world order that's forcing us to go bankrupt at the pump (which the Biden administration is defending) [07:00] How this liberal world order is being recognized by the rest of the world as Western imperialism and how Russia and others are dislodging themselves from it [10:25] How pundits are recognizing that the end of Roe means nothing less than the end of liberalism Resources:   Get your own MyPillow here.

La invasión rusa de Ucrania ha entrado en su quinto mes y no muestra signos de llegar a su fin, al menos en el corto plazo. El ejército ucraniano, mucho más móvil y combatiendo en casa, consiguió imponerse durante los dos primeros meses de la guerra. Frustró los planes rusos de apoderarse de la capital y de la ciudad de Járkov, pero aquella inesperada hazaña dio paso a una nueva fase que dio comienzo a finales de abril, una guerra larga y de desgaste en la que cada uno de los bandos pondrá todo lo que tenga a mano hasta que el otro se agote. Esta guerra, por ahora, la está ganando Rusia. A lo largo del mes de junio, el ejército ruso ha tomado la ciudad de Severodonetsk, tiene prácticamente controlada la de Lysychansk y avanza hacia Mykolaiv. En breve toda la provincia de Lugansk estará ocupada. El Gobierno ucraniano se lamenta arguyendo que los rusos les superan en número y en armamento, les falta munición y cada día pierden cientos de hombres. La parte positiva de esta historia es que el avance ruso es lento y muy costoso. Si Ucrania se asegura apoyo occidental en cantidad y calidad suficiente están a tiempo de frenar a los rusos y convertir esta guerra en un problema dentro de Rusia. De primeras, una guerra larga y de desgaste es lo que le viene bien al Kremlin. Rusia es más grande, está más poblada y tiene muchos más recursos a su disposición. Los rusos, además, parecen dispuestos a emplear toda su potencia de fuego, aterrorizar a la población civil y, si fuese necesario, imponer sacrificios a los propios rusos para salvar el honor nacional. Pero la guerra no tiene por qué librarse en estos términos. Ucrania tiene acceso al arsenal de la OTAN que está llegando ya y que, debidamente operado, les permitirá como mínimo frenar el avance ruso e incluso hacerles perder territorio en algunas posiciones comprometidas tal y como vimos la semana pasada con la isla de las Serpientes, que Ucrania recobró empleando armas occidentales. Pero eso sólo sucederá si Occidente mantiene el compromiso con Ucrania. Esto no depende tanto de sus Gobiernos como de la opinión pública occidental, que ya está perdiendo el interés sobre lo que pasa en Ucrania. Esa es una de las bazas de Putin, que Occidente se despreocupe y asuma la victoria rusa como un mal menor, luego ya se encontraría el modo de firmar una paz más o menos precaria, pero que acabase de una vez con los problemas de suministro de gas que afligen a Europa desde hace meses. La tentación está ahí y en Ucrania son perfectamente conscientes de que sus socios podrían sucumbir a ella. Entretanto sólo les queda resistir y solicitar a diario nueva ayuda tratando de hacer ver que la suerte que corra Ucrania irá pareja a la del resto del continente.

Highlights:     “Bumblin' Biden is beginning to distance himself from Zelensky, and the timing of such was hardly coincidental. Biden is seeing what anyone with an objective point of view is seeing: Eastern Ukraine is falling into Russian hands. It's falling like dominoes. The latest is the key city of  Severodonetsk, in the Lugansk province.”“We're now finding that the economy of the EU literally is on the brink. Investors are fleeing Europe as they see rising inflation, recession, and stagflation on the horizon. And again, keep in mind, this is largely a  massive self-inflicted wound on the part of Europe.”“It's being widely reported as of this morning that Russia has just surpassed Saudi Arabia to become India's second-biggest oil exporter, just behind Iraq.”“The future is clearly culture, custom, tradition,  civilization, and we're seeing the world economy recalibrate around that. Russia is moving eastward, directing its commodity-based economy to India and China, which has more than made up for all the sanctions that Western nations thought they could punish Russia with.” Timestamps:      [02:31] How Biden and other world leaders are throwing Zelensky under the bus[06:36] How the economy of  the EU literally is on the brink[08:13] How civilization states like Russia and India are prosperingResources:  Get your ticket for the premiere of our new movie “The Return of the American Patriot: The Rise of Pennsylvania” with early bird pricing here: https://turleyproductionspremiere.ticketspice.com/ticketsGet your own MyPillow here.

Esta semana se cumplieron los primeros cien días de guerra en Ucrania. Lo que iba a ser una guerra rápida que se saldaría en cuestión de semanas con una victoria rusa incontestable, se ha transformado en una guerra de posiciones concentrada en la región oriental del Donbás. En estos momentos las fuerzas rusas tienen el control de la mayor parte de Severodonetsk, una ciudad en la provincia de Lugansk tras haber rechazado varios contraataques ucranianos. La resistencia ucraniana está confinada en un área industrial en extremo oeste de la ciudad. Pero decir eso es como no decir nada porque el control del territorio va y viene y siempre es en pequeña cuantía. Tanto rusos como ucranianos dedican grandes esfuerzos y muchos días para tomar o retomar unos pocos kilómetros cuadrados El avance del ejército ruso en el este de Ucrania entre mediados de abril y finales de mayo suma poco más de 450 kilómetros cuadrados, el equivalente aproximado en superficie a la isla de Ibiza. No parece mucho y no parece que vayan a ir mucho más allá en el próximo mes porque, según están las cosas, ni Rusia ni Ucrania tienen posibilidades de marcarse un avance decisivo que cambie el curso de la guerra. Se han visto condenados a una guerra de puro desgaste que está siendo muy sangrienta con la que rusos y ucranianos lo fían todo a que el otro se desgaste antes. Las pérdidas de Rusia han sido grandes, mucho mayores de lo que el Kremlin esperaba hace sólo tres meses. La fuerza invasora se ha reducido notablemente. Los generales rusos han dado un giro a las tácticas de combate. Los batallones rusos, que estaban conformados por unos 600 efectivos al empezar la invasión, se han quedado en unos cien. Eso les da mucha más movilidad y compensa las pérdidas de acorazados. Desde el 24 de febrero el ejército ruso ha perdido unos 750 tanques, un tercio de los mismos desde que dio comienzo la ofensiva en el Donbás a finales de abril. Se sabe mucho menos de cómo se encuentra el ejército ucraniano. Las agencias de inteligencia occidentales evitan informar sobre ello para no afectar negativamente a la moral de los ucranianos. No hay tampoco mucha información de código abierto como vídeos y fotografías publicados por los usuarios en las redes sociales. Pero parece claro que el ejército ucraniano está sufriendo muchísimo. A finales del mes pasado el presidente Volodímir Zelenski informó que entre 60 y 100 soldados mueren cada día y unos 500 resultan heridos. Si la invasión ha devenido en una guerra de desgaste habría que preguntarse cuál de los dos bandos podrá resistir más. La reserva humana de la que dispone Rusia es mucho mayor que la de Ucrania, pero no es tan fácil de reclutar porque supondría una declaración de guerra y una movilización general, algo a lo que el Kremlin se ha negado hasta la fecha.

Russia's military dwarfs Ukraine's by comparison, so it was expected that Ukraine would fall under Russian occupation quickly. One month later and Russia have made very little progress and Kyiv, the capital, remains under Ukrainian control. Given the overwhelming odds stacked against the Ukrainian military, why has the Russian military failed to conquer Ukraine? Charmaine Cozier takes a closer look at where the Russian military have made their mistakes. Producer: Christopher Blake (Russian tank destroyed by Ukrainian forces on the side of a road in Lugansk.

Journalist Leonid Ragozin joins us to talk about the irrationality of Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Zelensky's steadfast resistance which has led to the present stalemate situation that we now have. Ragozin states, "History will show whether Zelensky was right in this game of chicken to collide with Putin..." Ragozin calls Putin's gamble a suicidal move ("complete insanity"), not just for Putin's regime but for Russia itself. "I don't see how... they [can] win in the way they want to win." Boldly he says that no one has done more to harm Russia's interests since World War II than Putin himself who falsely calls himself the protector of Russophones in Ukraine -- "Putin is fighting his own people."

Daily News Brief for Wednesday March 9th, 2022 Next week will be in Fort Worth at our live show, so Garrison and Anna will be handling most of the Daily News Briefs. Since our show is sold out in Fort Worth, join us in Rapid City for a workshop on God and Government featuring Pastor Toby, Uncle Gary (you know Gary DeMar), and yours truly. And then a live show that night with Larry Elder and Uncle Gary, and Comedian John Branyan opening up with some chuckles! Go to CrossPolitic.com/libertytour to sign up! Well the news cycle is just crazy, up and down, and all around, but our God is steadfast. Some trust in chariots, some trust in horses, but we trust in the Lord our God. So, yesterday Knox reported on how the Florida Department of Health advised against vaccinating healthy children. Well Jen Psaki and the Whitehouse responded that they were deeply disturebed, and trotted out their lame data. Roll clip: start at 14 second mark through the end. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/597181-white-house-calls-florida-advice-against-vaccinating-health-kids But Psaki neglected to point out that only kids between the ages of 5-17 with pre-existing conditions died from COVID. Another way of saying this, is that ZERO healthy children, you know the ones that Florida Department of Health advised against getting the vaccine, did not die from COVID. ZERO. How is your gas budget looking today, what about tomorrow, next week? Well lets make some sense out of all of this. My friend David Bahnsen pointed out that: https://thebahnsengroup.com/the-dc-today/monday-mar-7-2022/?utm_source=the-dc-today-social&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=the_dc_today “Two years ago this very weekend The Bahnsen Group was a sponsor at the Hoag Classic Golf tournament in Newport Beach, CA. This thing called the “coronavirus” had been disrupting markets for a couple weeks, but all hell had not yet broken loose in markets. That would all change starting the week that began today. Oil dropped overnight to $30 as many of us sat at that golf tournament late Sunday afternoon. Last night, oil spiked to $125. What a difference two years makes.” Now when Biden got elected, you know the 80 million people who voted for Biden, the average gas price was about $2.40 a gallon (Neil throw the chart up), and now the average gas price is $4.12 per gallon and climbing to who knows what. This is the highest average price in 14 years. Mmm who was president 14 years ago? Just a little over a year into Biden’s presidency and he manages to double our gas prices? Remember 80 million people voted for him, I can’t say that with a strait face. Here is what Stephen Colbert had to say about the high gas prices: https://notthebee.com/article/stephen-colbert-on-rising-oil-prices-a-clean-conscience-is-worth-a-buck-or-two-ill-pay-15-a-gallon-because-i-drive-a-tesla So sympathetic to those who can't afford a Tesla or the high gas prices. Next time Colbert says love your neighbor, just respond with a horse laugh. Let me help you make some sense out of the gas shenanigans. First, inflation is soring and it is both the republicans and democrats fault. Right now the Republicans are trying to blame all the inflation on Biden and the Democrats. This is patently false. Fact check false. Under the Republicans they voted for about $3 trillion in COVID stimulus money, then when Biden got into office, they voted for an additional $1.9 trillion in COVID stimulus. COVID stimulus money, coming off an artificial economic down turn, is the driver of our out of control inflation. And your gas prices are being affected by that. Secondly, we went from Trump, who had American functioning energy independent, to Biden who had America buying 10% of our oil from Russia, until he nixed that today. This all happened in less than one year. This part of the gas prices is Biden’s fault, and so when Republicans point that out, that part is true. Fact check true. The government needs to get out of the regulation business. Period. End of story.

Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich wins review, granted bail https://www.rebelnews.com/freedom_convoy_organizer_tamara_lich_wins_review_granted_bail According to Rebel News: Tamara Lich, one of the organizers behind the Freedom Convoy, has won an appeal and will now be granted bail. Initially taken into custody by police in Ottawa on the evening of Feb. 17, Lich has remained behind bars since. At a previous bail hearing on Feb. 22, Lich had her request for bail denied by Justice Julie Bourgeois, a former Liberal Party candidate who Lich accused of holding a political bias in the case. Late week, Lich was back in front of a judge requesting a bail review, a hearing that was documented by Ottawa-based lawyer David Anber. Today, a judge reversed the original decision and granted Lich bail. And according to Ottawa-based lawyer David Anber, here is what the conditions of her release is: https://twitter.com/DavidAnber/status/1500930917027696657?s=20&t=wjRGFOJ-IhbzRjgPfOCKgg ✅Surety is required ✅Cash bail deposit not required ✅$20,000.00 bond (Surety) ✅$5,000 bond (Tamara) ✅Leave ottawa in 24 hours ✅Leave Ontario in 72 hours ✅Report to police ✅Reside as directed ✅No contact with co accused ✅No social media ✅No protesting COVID ✅Surety to monitor devices ✅Not to allow people to post messages on behalf ✅Attend Court as required ✅Not attend Ontario except for Court and meetings with counsel And the Crown is providing names of co-accused with whom Lich may have no contact. Russia will stop 'in a moment' if Ukraine meets terms - Kremlin https://www.reuters.com/world/kremlin-says-russian-military-action-will-stop-moment-if-ukraine-meets-2022-03-07/ According to Reuters: “Russia has told Ukraine it is ready to halt military operations "in a moment" if Kyiv meets a list of conditions, the Kremlin spokesman said on Monday. Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was demanding that Ukraine cease military action, change its constitution to enshrine neutrality (NATO), acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory, and recognise the separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states.” I could see Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk being acceptable terms, as the southern territories are already basically Russia and I believe they would poll favorably in that direction. But enshrine in their constitution “neutrality”, that is a deal killer and would only setup Russia to rinse and repeat this invasion all over again, and Ukraine would have even less protection. In Leaked Audio Former NIH Director/New Biden Science Adviser Laughs Over Threatening Unemployment to Force Vaccines, Blames Trump For Covid Deaths https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-in-leaked-audio-former-nih-director-new-biden-science-adviser-laughs-over-threatening-unemployment-to-force-vaccines-blames-trump-for-covid-19-deaths According to the Daily Wire: “Former head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Francis Collins, appointed as President Biden’s new science adviser on February 17, has consistently maintained that he plays a nonpartisan role in the federal government. Collins told NPR, for example, that he and his former employee, Anthony Fauci, are “not political figures,” and expressed frustration over criticism directed toward them as being driven by “a very strong political overtone.” Their COVID policy recommendations, he insists by contrast, have been based solely on scientific data. But a leaked audio recording obtained by The Daily Wire calls Collins’ claims of political neutrality into question. During a private October 26 event at the University of Chicago, the physician wandered far afield of medical opinion, offering legal arguments for federal vaccine mandates and maintaining that the threat of job loss should be used to pressure citizens into getting the shots. He also took aim at former President Trump over COVID deaths that occurred early in the pandemic and admitted to greenlighting controversial research that relied on organs harvested from aborted infants. ‘My Employer Made Me Do It’ The event, which included an interview portion along with a question-and-answer session, was hosted by Christianity Today theologian Russell Moore on behalf of the Institute of Politics, an organization founded by senior Obama adviser, David Axelrod. He then argued that intimidation tactics should be used to motivate the resistant to take the vaccine. “The US government does have the authority to mandate vaccinations if there is an outbreak that is threatening people, because it’s not just about you, it’s about the people you’re going to infect,” Collins claimed, even though science journals were already reporting by that point that vaccinated people were just as likely to spread the then-dominant Delta variant as those who were unvaccinated. Collins went on to ask rhetorically, “Do [mandates] convince people who otherwise wouldn’t get them?” He answered himself, “Oh yeah, especially if it means losing your job.” As evidence, he described how successful the threat of unemployment was at persuading vaccine-hesitant NIH employees and contractors to get vaccinated. When Collins made it clear to the 2,000 out of 46,000 workers who had still declined to take the jabs that they were “in serious danger of being fired in the next month if they [didn’t] do something about it,” Collins said he got a “big response.” “Reality [was] sinking in,” he explained, so that even the “pretty darn resistant” elected to get vaccinated. He then chuckled, “You get the feeling that their resistance was not maybe quite that deeply seated,” and he speculated that deep down, many unvaccinated people may actually want to get the vaccine but resist doing so out of peer pressure. “They’re sort of thinking to themselves, you know, maybe I really should do it, but if I do, I lose my credibility with my peeps,” Collins said. Mandates, he argued, can give such individuals a way to save face because they can tell their social circle, “’Well, my employer made me do it. I didn’t really want to get them.’ They get, you know, bonus points, because they’re now a victim. But they’ve also gotten the mandated vaccine that they kind of wanted anyway.” Collins said evangelicals, in particular, over-emphasize notions of personal liberty when it comes to mandates, saying they have so “wrapped themselves in the flag and wrapped themselves in this concept of personal freedom, that public health just grates on them.” Closing This is Gabriel Rench with Crosspolitic News.

Here is what Stephen Colbert had to say about the high gas prices: https://notthebee.com/article/stephen-colbert-on-rising-oil-prices-a-clean-conscience-is-worth-a-buck-or-two-ill-pay-15-a-gallon-because-i-drive-a-tesla So sympathetic to those who can't afford a Tesla or the high gas prices. Next time Colbert says love your neighbor, just respond with a horse laugh. Let me help you make some sense out of the gas shenanigans. First, inflation is soring and it is both the republicans and democrats fault. Right now the Republicans are trying to blame all the inflation on Biden and the Democrats. This is patently false. Fact check false. Under the Republicans they voted for about $3 trillion in COVID stimulus money, then when Biden got into office, they voted for an additional $1.9 trillion in COVID stimulus. COVID stimulus money, coming off an artificial economic down turn, is the driver of our out of control inflation. And your gas prices are being affected by that. Secondly, we went from Trump, who had American functioning energy independent, to Biden who had America buying 10% of our oil from Russia, until he nixed that today. This all happened in less than one year. This part of the gas prices is Biden’s fault, and so when Republicans point that out, that part is true. Fact check true. The government needs to get out of the regulation business. Period. End of story.

Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich wins review, granted bail https://www.rebelnews.com/freedom_convoy_organizer_tamara_lich_wins_review_granted_bail According to Rebel News: Tamara Lich, one of the organizers behind the Freedom Convoy, has won an appeal and will now be granted bail. Initially taken into custody by police in Ottawa on the evening of Feb. 17, Lich has remained behind bars since. At a previous bail hearing on Feb. 22, Lich had her request for bail denied by Justice Julie Bourgeois, a former Liberal Party candidate who Lich accused of holding a political bias in the case. Late week, Lich was back in front of a judge requesting a bail review, a hearing that was documented by Ottawa-based lawyer David Anber. Today, a judge reversed the original decision and granted Lich bail. And according to Ottawa-based lawyer David Anber, here is what the conditions of her release is: https://twitter.com/DavidAnber/status/1500930917027696657?s=20&t=wjRGFOJ-IhbzRjgPfOCKgg ✅Surety is required ✅Cash bail deposit not required ✅$20,000.00 bond (Surety) ✅$5,000 bond (Tamara) ✅Leave ottawa in 24 hours ✅Leave Ontario in 72 hours ✅Report to police ✅Reside as directed ✅No contact with co accused ✅No social media ✅No protesting COVID ✅Surety to monitor devices ✅Not to allow people to post messages on behalf ✅Attend Court as required ✅Not attend Ontario except for Court and meetings with counsel And the Crown is providing names of co-accused with whom Lich may have no contact. Russia will stop 'in a moment' if Ukraine meets terms - Kremlin https://www.reuters.com/world/kremlin-says-russian-military-action-will-stop-moment-if-ukraine-meets-2022-03-07/ According to Reuters: “Russia has told Ukraine it is ready to halt military operations "in a moment" if Kyiv meets a list of conditions, the Kremlin spokesman said on Monday. Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was demanding that Ukraine cease military action, change its constitution to enshrine neutrality (NATO), acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory, and recognise the separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states.” I could see Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk being acceptable terms, as the southern territories are already basically Russia and I believe they would poll favorably in that direction. But enshrine in their constitution “neutrality”, that is a deal killer and would only setup Russia to rinse and repeat this invasion all over again, and Ukraine would have even less protection. In Leaked Audio Former NIH Director/New Biden Science Adviser Laughs Over Threatening Unemployment to Force Vaccines, Blames Trump For Covid Deaths https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-in-leaked-audio-former-nih-director-new-biden-science-adviser-laughs-over-threatening-unemployment-to-force-vaccines-blames-trump-for-covid-19-deaths According to the Daily Wire: “Former head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Francis Collins, appointed as President Biden’s new science adviser on February 17, has consistently maintained that he plays a nonpartisan role in the federal government. Collins told NPR, for example, that he and his former employee, Anthony Fauci, are “not political figures,” and expressed frustration over criticism directed toward them as being driven by “a very strong political overtone.” Their COVID policy recommendations, he insists by contrast, have been based solely on scientific data. But a leaked audio recording obtained by The Daily Wire calls Collins’ claims of political neutrality into question. During a private October 26 event at the University of Chicago, the physician wandered far afield of medical opinion, offering legal arguments for federal vaccine mandates and maintaining that the threat of job loss should be used to pressure citizens into getting the shots. He also took aim at former President Trump over COVID deaths that occurred early in the pandemic and admitted to greenlighting controversial research that relied on organs harvested from aborted infants. ‘My Employer Made Me Do It’ The event, which included an interview portion along with a question-and-answer session, was hosted by Christianity Today theologian Russell Moore on behalf of the Institute of Politics, an organization founded by senior Obama adviser, David Axelrod. He then argued that intimidation tactics should be used to motivate the resistant to take the vaccine. “The US government does have the authority to mandate vaccinations if there is an outbreak that is threatening people, because it’s not just about you, it’s about the people you’re going to infect,” Collins claimed, even though science journals were already reporting by that point that vaccinated people were just as likely to spread the then-dominant Delta variant as those who were unvaccinated. Collins went on to ask rhetorically, “Do [mandates] convince people who otherwise wouldn’t get them?” He answered himself, “Oh yeah, especially if it means losing your job.” As evidence, he described how successful the threat of unemployment was at persuading vaccine-hesitant NIH employees and contractors to get vaccinated. When Collins made it clear to the 2,000 out of 46,000 workers who had still declined to take the jabs that they were “in serious danger of being fired in the next month if they [didn’t] do something about it,” Collins said he got a “big response.” “Reality [was] sinking in,” he explained, so that even the “pretty darn resistant” elected to get vaccinated. He then chuckled, “You get the feeling that their resistance was not maybe quite that deeply seated,” and he speculated that deep down, many unvaccinated people may actually want to get the vaccine but resist doing so out of peer pressure. “They’re sort of thinking to themselves, you know, maybe I really should do it, but if I do, I lose my credibility with my peeps,” Collins said. Mandates, he argued, can give such individuals a way to save face because they can tell their social circle, “’Well, my employer made me do it. I didn’t really want to get them.’ They get, you know, bonus points, because they’re now a victim. But they’ve also gotten the mandated vaccine that they kind of wanted anyway.” Collins said evangelicals, in particular, over-emphasize notions of personal liberty when it comes to mandates, saying they have so “wrapped themselves in the flag and wrapped themselves in this concept of personal freedom, that public health just grates on them.” Closing This is Gabriel Rench with Crosspolitic News.

Putin Declares Military Operation in Ukraine https://breaking911.com/breaking-putin-announces-military-operation-in-ukraine-warns-attempts-to-interfere-will-be-met-with-consequences-never-seen/ Russian President Vladimir Putin essentially declared war on Ukraine Wednesday night. “Russia cannot feel secure,” Putin said of Ukraine. “We have no other choice but to use the means we are about to announce.” “I have declared a special military operation,” Putin added. He also addressed the Ukrainian military directly, calling on the force to “lay down its arms.” The operation will be aimed at ‘defending people living in the newly-recognized republics of Donetsk and Lugansk,’ state-run Russian media outlet RT reported. However, there were reports of explosions in major cities throughout Ukraine. For example here behind a CNN reporter on a rooftop in Kyiv https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1496684562767884292?s=20&t=xcTPkxkDzx1JkCFiDJMAfg 0:00-0:24 Russian forces seized the Chernobyl nuclear plant on Thursday, site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986, triggering fears of contamination. Ukrainian troops defended a strategic airport outside of the capital, Kyiv. Images and videos of fighter jets engaging over suburban skies filled social media Thursday. US officials estimated that Russia may have launched as many as 160 missiles into Ukrainian military bases and airports. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cut diplomatic ties with Moscow and declared martial law on Thursday. According to the LA Times, In a televised address Thursday, Biden imposed new sanctions on Russia and condemned Putin’s attack. “Putin is the aggressor,” Biden said. “Putin chose this war, and now he and his country will bear the consequences.” Under the latest sanctions the U.S. and its allies will block the assets of four large Russian banks, impose export controls and sanction oligarchs. Biden also said the U.S. will deploy added forces to Germany to support NATO. Ukrainian officials responded to Biden’s address by calling for more drastic action, including cutting Russians off from the SWIFT financial system. “We demand the disconnection of Russia from SWIFT, the introduction of a no-fly zone over Ukraine and other effective steps to stop the aggressor,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a tweet. The Biden administration has repeatedly said U.S. troops will not fight in Ukraine or rescue Americans trapped there, but Russia’s invasion is shaping up to be the biggest land war in Europe since World War II. On Thursday, the Pentagon said it was sending an additional 7,000 troops to Europe, deploying an armored brigade combat team to Germany to reassure NATO allies. The deployment brings the number of U.S. troops ordered to Europe since the Ukraine crisis began to 14,000; the number of American troops in Europe to 100,000. As Mr. Putin announced the invasion of Ukraine, the United Nations Security Council met to discuss the crisis, with diplomats agreeing to vote on a resolution against Russia, though little is expected to come of it: Russia holds a veto as a permanent member. What does Putin want? “Ukraine is not just a neighboring country for us. It is an inalienable part of our own history, culture and spiritual space,” Putin said in a televised speech Monday. Ukraine is a former Soviet Union republic perched at the edge of Europe. It became independent after the Communist government collapsed in 1991. Ukraine is the largest, most fertile, mineral-rich and strategically important. A Russian gas pipeline crosses Ukraine to Europe, generating profits for Moscow. Putin said in a televised speech Thursday that he considers the prospect of Ukraine joining NATO a “hostile act.” So remember that NATO was formed after WW2 essentially to resist and limit Soviet influence and expansion. When East Germany reunited with West Germany and the Berlin Wall came down, part of the agreement was that Ukraine would not be brought into NATO. But why now? US NEWS speculates: It all could come down to Russia’s resources at the moment, Pomeranz says. It might be the “most opportune time” from Putin’s perspective, he adds, because the country has $600 billion in foreign currency reserves and has already put significant resources into reconstructing Russia’s army. “I think Vladimir Putin thinks this is the best time for him to right what he perceives as a great wrong and reverse Ukrainian independence and sovereignty,” says Pomeranz of the Wilson Center. Putin likely also views the West – including the U.S., specifically – as weak, Pomeranz adds, which could impact how much help he thinks Ukraine will actually get. Bowman echoes this sentiment and points to how the U.S. handled pulling troops out of Afghanistan in August. “I don't know how he could have read that as anything other than American weakness,” says Bowman, who served as an adviser to Republican senators for years. “I think he wondered whether, frankly, the Biden administration would be as weak as the Obama administration was in dealing with aggression toward Ukraine.” And our Secretary of State responded: https://twitter.com/SohrabAhmari/status/1496881718879531011?s=20&t=aeeV3TBdacijzg83OCVPcA Play Right. Hopefully Putin will come to his senses and see that this war is causing carbon emissions that are only making all the ice in Russia melt faster. Right.

Greg Abbott of Texas directed the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to uphold Texas laws criminalizing gender transition, reassignment surgeries, mastectomies, puberty-blocking drugs, and administration of hormones like estrogen and testosterone for gender transitions. His letter described this kind of so-called medical treatment as child abuse and urged the Protective Services to pursue the appropriate reporting protocols for child abuse. He also called upon them to investigate parents who are subjecting their child to such abuse. The internet lit its hair on fire and began screaming about all the hate. Of course, if the shoe was on the other foot – if a child was being denied hormone treatment by their parents, and a liberal governor called for an investigation, would they have the same problem? I think there is a biblical principle here, but the problem is that Greg Abbott only appeals to Texas law that at this point in time can be changed over night. What Greg Abbott or some enterprising conservative needs to do is reassert biblical common law as the foundation of all justice. On that basis, it certainly is right for a civil magistrate to protect children from activists who want to destroy their bodies and lives. But empowering Social Services to meddle in families can be flipped around if say Beto gets elected in Texas and now Christian families are getting the same treatment for spanking their kids and refusing to let their little boys wear dresses. The only way this kind of assertion of power is good is if the foundation is good. But the only good foundation is Jesus Christ. Otherwise, it’s all a powerplay. What distinguishes Putin, Biden, Trudea, and Abbott? Is it all just a power play. Is it just might makes right? Or is there a transcendent God and a trancendent truth and justice? If there is no Transcendent standard then you can do whatever you want, whatever you can get away with. But if there is a God then there is a right and wrong, truth and lies, justice and injustice, male and female, and goodness and beauty.

Russia has launched a full scale military invasion of Ukraine. The United States is sanctioning the two separatist regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as Russia for their actions. Meanwhile, the Chinese communist regime is threatening to forcefully take Taiwan, and has signed a “No Limits” pact with Russia that declared no areas of cooperation between the two countries will be off the table. Questions now rest on how the United States and other nations will respond. According to Gordon Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” the situation could easily spiral into a third world war, with the Chinese regime already projecting its military ambitions over Taiwan and beyond. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER
