Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, has been one of the most argued-over candidates this election cycle. If he wins, he'd be the first-ever Muslim senator, and he's faced a torrent of attacks about his faith. The race has also become a proving ground for a lot of questions about the Democratic Party and its future: What should U.S. policy toward Israel and the Palestinians be? Is the future of health care reform Medicare for all? Can a left-wing populist win in a state that twice voted for Donald Trump?There's been so much more heat than light in this race, so I wanted to invite El-Sayed on the show for a longer conversation. We talked about his upbringing, his views on U.S. foreign policy, his work on health care reform and what he would actually do if elected in November.

In this episode, we welcome political scientist and longtime University of Minnesota professor August H. Nimtz to discuss his book, “Black Marxism: A Marxist Critique.” Nimtz revisits Cedric J. Robinson's 1983 influential “Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition” and explains why he believes Robinson's account of the Black radical tradition downplays class struggle, revolutionary politics, and the significance of figures such as Malcolm X. Drawing on his own experiences in the Black freedom movement, field research in Tanzania, and decades of study of Marx, Engels, and Lenin, Nimtz makes the case for a Marxism that takes racism, national liberation, and working-class unity seriously. The conversation ranges from the Grenadian Revolution and anti-colonial struggles in Africa to Malcolm X, Black nationalism, identity politics, and the enduring question of whether the left can build an independent political alternative to the Democratic Party. Nimtz also reflects on Lenin's approach to elections, the meaning of revolutionary parliamentarianism, and why he sees troubling parallels between today's global conflicts and the period leading up to World War I. This is a wide-ranging, challenging conversation about race, class, imperialism, and the political choices facing the left today. About August Nimtz August H. Nimtz is a political scientist, Marxist scholar, and longtime professor of political science at the University of Minnesota, where he has taught since 1971. Raised in New Orleans in a union-oriented household, Nimtz developed an early interest in the relationship between race, class, labor, and political struggle. His research in Tanzania in 1969–70, including field interviews conducted in Swahili, helped shape his work on African politics, Islam, colonialism, and the class dynamics of postcolonial societies. A longtime socialist activist and member of the Socialist Workers Party from 1972 to 1995, Nimtz has written extensively on Marx, Engels, Lenin, Black liberation, electoral strategy, and anti-imperialism. Nimtz's work emphasizes confronting racism while building independent, multiracial working-class political movements.

“Democracies don't die silently, sleepwalking. Democracies die by going through periods of pretty serious political violence.” — Robert Pape Forget all the long-term civil war scenarios of everyone from Kurt Andersen to Stephen Marche. Today's guest Robert Pape has spent the last thirty years at the University of Chicago studying political violence, and his warning is about the next six weeks rather than the next ten years. In his new book, Our Own Worst Enemies, Pape argues that tens of millions of Americans, on both left and right, now support political violence. When it comes to an American age of violent populism, his comparison is 1968 rather than 1861. What produced that era of assassinations, violent protest, and state violence, Pape argues, was rapid social change outpacing the political system. Back then, it was fueled by the gap between the Great Migration of African-Americans and the absence of political representation, and a military draft falling hardest on the unrepresented. And it only ended in the early Seventies, with the end of the draft in 1973 and the arrival of Black mayors and the Congressional Black Caucus. Today, rapid social change is once again outpacing the political and economic system. On the one hand, America is a country moving from white-majority to white-minority — with its non-Hispanic white population dropping from 76% in 1990 to 57% today. On the other, America is experiencing a dramatic economic transformation that has moved something like a tenth of American wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. The details of Pape's observations are unsettling. Only one in ten of the 1,575 people prosecuted for the January 6 insurrection belonged to a militia, with 45% being doctors, lawyers, CEOs or government employees. While five to seven per cent of the George Floyd protests turned violent. But social media, he insists, is the gasoline, not the fire, of this crisis. So at least we can't blame the internet for everything. Pape does, however, offer a couple of glimmers of hope. Firstly, he reminds us that 70% of Americans still abhor political violence. Secondly, he notes that all gaps eventually close, and that we should expect American government to eventually address economic inequality. But that won't happen before the November 2026 midterms which, he warns, might be a return of the political violence of 1968. Five Takeaways • Democracies Don't Sleepwalk. Pape's opening correction: the danger isn't a civil war five or ten years out, it's the next few months. Democracies don't die silently — they die through periods of serious political violence, and America is in one now. He calls it the era of violent populism, and what makes it different from the familiar extremism of recent decades is that political violence has moved from the fringe to the mainstream: tens of millions of Americans on both sides of the aisle now support it. His image is a layer cake — bottom-up violence from the left in the George Floyd protests, bottom-up violence from the right on January 6, and violence by the state, with a whole chapter on ICE and the two protesters killed in Minneapolis. Conversations about this era usually seize on one layer as though it were the whole thing. And the state violence isn't a few rogue agents: tens of millions of Americans support the president using force against Democratic protesters.• The 1960s Rhyme. Not since the 1960s, Pape says, has political violence run this high — and that decade is the book's best evidence, because it both began and ended. The late sixties brought assassinations (King, Robert Kennedy), hundreds of Black riots across five years, anti-war violence and the Weather Underground's twenty bombings; Gallup surveys from the period, which Pape has collected, show millions supported it. Two social changes drove it: the Great Migration, the largest internal population movement in American history, which delivered Black populations to northern cities without political representation — by the mid-sixties Chicago had no Black mayor and two Black aldermen, the context for Malcolm X's “The Ballot or the Bullet” — and Vietnam, where the draft fell hardest on those same unrepresented Americans. And it ended when the gap closed: the draft was abolished in 1973, the Congressional Black Caucus formed, and Black mayors took office in Atlanta, Detroit and elsewhere.• Two Social Changes. The present era began about ten years ago, and rests on two shifts. First, demography: America is moving from a white-majority to a white-minority democracy. It was 76% non-Hispanic white in 1990 and is 57% today, and the tipping point was 2012, the first year most children born were not non-Hispanic white — which is Pape's answer to why this didn't erupt under Obama, along with an immigration policy he rates the best of any modern president: keep it going, keep it moderate, deport the worst of the worst. Second, wealth: since the late 1980s roughly a tenth of American wealth has moved from the bottom 90% to the top 1%, producing what he calls a negative-sum society in which even a household on $100,000 loses ground year by year. Put the two together and you get the poisonous cocktail. Andrew's challenge — what about the internet? — got a flat answer: social media is gasoline on a fire, not the fire. The average January 6 defendant was 42, not 22.• Not the Proud Boys. The book's most counterintuitive finding, drawn from research teams reading all 100,000 court documents behind the 1,575 January 6 prosecutions: only one in ten belonged to the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers or any militia — including one in ten of those who assaulted police. Who did storm the Capitol? Forty-five per cent were doctors, lawyers, CEOs, State Department employees and intelligence executives. Dentists, too, Andrew noted. And since Andrew told him the show's audience skews left, Pape supplied the other half of the ledger: five to seven per cent of the George Floyd protests turned violent — some six hundred protests across the top hundred cities, out of 28 million people — with looting and smash-and-grabs tracked separately; and the post-October 7 campus protests, which hit nearly a hundred universities and were, by his $300,000 survey of 5,000 undergraduates, about 75% from the left.• The 70%. Then the hopeful half. Against the substantial minorities who support violence stands the 70% of Americans who abhor it, and who have never been mobilized — which is why he wrote the book for the mainstream rather than for the academy. His mechanism is unglamorous: politicians respond to squeaky wheels, and right now the squeaky wheels are billionaire donors on both sides. His example of what the 70% might demand is a flat tax above $30,000 with no deductions at all — Warren Buffett would stop paying less than his cleaner. (Andrew raised his University of Chicago colleague Eric Zwick, on the show last week: tax the three million millionaires too, not just the billionaires. “He's exactly right.”) And the danger ahead is specific: the November midterms, six weeks away, with gas at $5 in Chicago after the Iran crisis, and...

For adults of a certain age, the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001 were a defining event, just as the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X were for earlier generations. The geopolitical world was forever altered, along with how many Americans thought about the country’s place in the world, and even how they thought about their own identity as citizens. Longtime journalist and University of Oregon professor Peter Laufer documents all of this in his new book, "We Are All Americans." It’s a series of interview excerpts, photos and reflections from the people he talked with on three separate cross-country road trips: one just days after 9/11, another in 2011, and the last in 2021. We talk with Laufer about what he learned, and we take your calls to hear your memories and reflections about this day in history, 25 years later.
A weekly magazine-style radio show featuring the voices and stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders from all corners of our community. The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists. Friday is the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11. 9/11 marked a turning point in American history when two planes were hijacked by extremists who flew into two buildings at the World Trade Center in New York and another at the Pentagon, and two thousand nine hundred and seventy-seven people were killed. It was the deadliest attack on the US since Pearl Harbor sixty years prior. Following 9/11, the US government implemented multiple pieces of significant legislation around curbing and countering terrorism and enemy combatants. Policies such as the USA Patriot Act and the Special Registration Program targeted and disproportionately affected Arabs, South Asians, and Muslims in America. Tonight on Apex Express, in recognition of the twenty-fifth anniversary, we are hearing from members of the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action, ASATA. Several ASATA members will listen to Apex Express episodes about the impact of 9/11 and share their thoughts. You will hear pieces of shows starting all the way back to two thousand two and as recently as this spring. LINKS Alliance of South Asians Taking Action, ASATA Bay Area Solidarity Summer (BASS) Black Panther Party History SHOW TRANSCRIPT [00:00:00] Opening: Apex Express Asian Pacific expression.

[00:00:34] Miko Lee: Welcome to Apex Express. This is Miko Lee, and I'm introducing a show that is recognizing the time that we're in. And as many of you might know, this Friday is the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11. 9/11 marked a turning point in American history when two planes were hijacked by extremists who flew into two buildings at the World Trade Center in New York and another at the Pentagon, and two thousand nine hundred and seventy-seven people were killed. It was the deadliest attack on the US since Pearl Harbor sixty years prior. Following 9/11, the US government implemented multiple pieces of significant legislation around curbing and countering terrorism and enemy combatants. Policies such as the USA Patriot Act and the Special Registration Program targeted and disproportionately affected Arabs, South Asians, and Muslims in America. Tonight on Apex Express, in recognition of the twenty-fifth anniversary, we are hearing from members of the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action, ASATA. Several ASATA members will listen to Apex Express episodes about the impact of 9/11 and share their thoughts. You will hear pieces of shows starting all the way back to two thousand two and as recently as this spring. So stay tuned to Apex Express and reflections on the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11. [00:02:06] Arati: Hi everyone. Welcome. Can you please introduce yourselves? [00:02:09] Hafsa: Hey everyone. My name is Hafsa. I'm here from ASATA. [00:02:13] Palvinder: Hi all, Palvinder Kaur a Sikh community organizer here in Sacramento. [00:02:19] Priya: Hi, I'm Priya. I'm also an organizer with ASATA and a teacher based in Oakland. [00:02:23] Arati: We're gonna start listening to our clips now. [00:02:25] Speaker 5: I can clearly remember my parents repeating, “Please don't let it be a Muslim. Please don't let it be a Muslim,” while watching the news. I didn't process at age five the type of impact this would have on my family, but as I got older, those words stuck with me as I watched police outside our mosques and soldiers touching down in Muslim countries around the globe. [00:02:45] George W. Bush: Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward. [00:02:50] Speaker 7: I got a call after the first tower had been hit. [00:02:53] Speaker 8: I was right here. My roommate was like, “Hey, man. Wake up. You should watch this.” [00:02:59] Speaker 9: My mom called me at 7:00 in the morning, and whenever my mom calls, I always think, “Oh, God,” you know? “What happened,” right? And my immediate reaction was, Bush has got his war now. [00:03:10] George W. Bush: Make no mistake, the United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts. [00:03:25] Speaker 9: Pretty much as soon as the towers fell and it was determined to be a terrorist act, people were talking about Pearl Harbor, you know, day of infamy and making all those parallels. And of course, there was that immediate fear of backlash against Arab Americans. But what's the point of revenge? It's not gonna bring the people who died back. It's not gonna prevent future attacks, in my opinion. If anything, it might create the conditions for more hatred. [00:03:55] Speaker 10: It is heartbreaking when you hear somebody who's not even a Muslim or Arab got killed in Arizona who just happened to wear this traditional clothes. [00:04:10] Speaker 9: Within the first week, I started seeing reports on the internet about hate crimes that occurred in San Francisco. [00:04:15] Speaker 11: Arab American Discrimination more than two hundred incidents of hate crimes. Six of these people died. [00:04:30] Speaker 7: My mom actually called me and she was like, “Shave your beard,” you know, like, “Don't do anything stupid.” My partner actually from Urban Groove, is a Sikh, and he was in Pittsburgh at the time, and he called me up and he said, “I'm scared for us right now.” I can't even go to the library. I can't even go to the gym. People are looking at me funny just getting in your car and going outside. You know, at that time we realized the education that really needed to come to a lot of Americans that Muslim or not, these are not people that blew up the World Trade Center. These are not people that hurt other Americans. You know, these are our friends, our coworkers, our family. [00:05:15] Speaker 12: It took me a while to find my voice and publicly react and respond to the events at the close of 2001. Part of that has to do with the memory of how irrational Americans become during times of war. I didn't wanna be on any blacklists, be monitored, stand out. [00:05:34] Speaker 8: One of the things that I thought was really ironic was the question the media posed to the, the public. You know, how could this happen to us? Well, kind of stop and look at the history of our foreign policy. It's pretty evident in why something like this would happen. [00:05:50] Speaker 9: I didn't feel like I was being disrespectful, and I didn't think that I was somehow, like, less American for also criticizing the government. But then again, the appropriate response is that we all just fall in line behind the Bush administration, whatever they do. It doesn't matter. Civil liberties are trampled. This is the appropriate response. You know, this is the way we show our patriotism. [00:06:12] Arati: So most of those clips were from Robyn Takayama's 2002 documentary in which she's using different community voices to explore her own discovery of what patriotism looks like. It starts with, like, a small cut from the 20th anniversary, and then the rest of that is from these series of immediate reactions and lived experiences from Robyn's documentary. So reflecting on when this documentary was released, 2002, and where we are now, what still feels resonant? Does anything feel stale or stuck in time, or are there things that you're still like, “Yeah, that's really where we're at now”? [00:06:43] Hafsa: I think for me, growing up with the Muslim community in Southern California, I remember 2002 being a very scary time as the people in this audio clip are kind of sharing. And I think now I don't feel as stranded as an American Muslim in America as I did at that time. And to provide context, I was 11 years old at that time, and I could feel the fear from people older than me and, even my friends as we would go to recess, and we would think we'd get sniped down by someone who's, like, looking out for us because we're little Muslim kids. yeah, I think that's something that I can definitely feel, where I don't feel stranded. I don't feel like there are, there is a lack of other communities who've been harmed who can also make bridges with us. [00:07:34] Arati: Yeah. Thanks, Hafsa. [00:07:35] Palvinder: Yeah, similarly, I was, I was a teen as well, probably 11. I grew up Sikh. My dad wore the star, a turban. I remember seeing it on the news. And I didn't really register for me for about a little bit of time until, like, the first racist comment was made towards my dad or we heard about, the Arizona death. It wasn't until, you know, Brown communities, Sikh communities, uh, Muslim communities were targeted, anyone who looked Muslim, right, And so for me, I think at the time, it took a while to fully register. But, you know, once it did, it was like, oh, this isn't about it just being a Muslim. It's like people are just perceiving anybody. And, as I grew up, I realized, the need for, communities not to say like, “Oh, but we're not Muslim,” you know? And I think that was like a really strong push from a lot of the Sikh community organizers, reflecting back on it. But of course, you still have folks who are in the community who are just like trying to say, “But we're not Muslim.” And that's a, that was a problem. You know, I wanna call out that, that problematic nature, and I think the same thing happens today when we see it around communities who have different immigration statuses. and it's like, oh, we might be X, Y, Z race, but we're not. You know, we're, we're American, or we were born here, we're a citizen. And it's just like, but why are we othering ourselves? So I still see some of those similarities around othering. I struggle with it because I can understand from the perspective of, you know, some of the individuals trying their best, working hard, and wanting to not be targeted, but at the same time, like, it's not the right thing to do. I think we're seeing a lot more, collaboration now, I would say, a lot more shifting in the narrative. I know we've had a lot of conversations across, the Sikh community over the past two and a half decades around the problem with othering ourselves from other races and other, other identities. And so I, I think that's one aspect of it, but I still see that same sort of nature, right? Like, um, when an attack happens or when there's a shooting, it's constantly like, don't let it be a interracial identity or immigration identity, right? and, I feel like the media continues to fail us, like the narratives around people of color, immigrants, is just very dehumanizing. and somehow, white folks get humanized in all of the actions that they're taking. I do feel like there's a media component to it, and we have to call that out. The one thing that, you know, when one of the individuals had shared that they were like falling in line, I think about just the over-surveillance that's occurring and the way that social media recordings and just everything going live in public, you know, the need to be vocal, but there is a sort of line, right, that we all know that we shouldn't cross, and the fear of being seen as un-American. [00:10:15] Arati: Thank you, Balvinder. [00:10:16] Priya: I can briefly add on to what was shared. Something you said, Hafsa, really struck me that when you were 11 years old, even going to recess was something that created a culture of fear, and honestly, I still see that in some of my students. When there were threats of ICE in the Bay Area, my classroom was empty. I mean, like, 90% of students didn't come to school that whole week. That culture of fear still exists, among, like, Black and brown communities, even here in the Bay. but we have made a lot of connections with each other as people of color in our organizing histories. But the culture of fear is still salient. [00:10:51] Arati: Thanks, Priya. Do you feel like there's stuff, you know, a lot of these were current day organizers still 25 years later reflecting on their experiences. Are there pieces of the strategy that we still feel like are salient and that we want to bring with us and continue implementing in 2026? [00:11:06] Hafsa: I think the communities that reach out to each other, that's something that's still working out for us now. I remember the Japanese community reached out to our masjid because they had been interned. Like, they were in internment camps, and they knew what it felt like to be othered in America in a very vile way. And I remember learning, oh, wow, like, A) there's a big Japanese community in Southern California, and B) they are so resilient that they care enough to reach out to us even though they went through all this already, and now they wanna show us or they wanna be there for us in whatever capacity. So I think, like, as we grow and go through these traumatic events, whatever we learn, there's a resilience that we build when we reach out to other communities. [00:11:55] Arati: Yeah, absolutely. All right, we're gonna move to our next set of clips. this is gonna be a little heavy, but there's some really incredible stuff in here thinking about the organizing that is birthed of necessity, and a lot of the Sikh coalition's actions in the immediate aftermath, and specifically Asata's actions here in the Bay Area. [00:12:11] Speaker 8: At the end of the day, necessity is the mother of invention. On the day of 9/11 Sikhs in New York, where the Sikh Coalition is based, saw hate crimes occurring the afternoon of 9/11. Three members of our community were literally chased through the streets of Manhattan. The afternoon of 9/11, an elderly man was beaten to the point of having broken bones, and Sikh young children were shot with paintball guns. And so the night of, we issued a press release grieving against attack on the country and calling on a police to protect our community from hate crimes. Our first real action beyond the press release on the night of 9/11 was to create a website where community members could report hate crimes and other forms of discrimination that were occurring to them. And within that first month after 9/11, more than three hundred people logged in and, and reported acts of discrimination. Everything from, from people who had been shot at, one gentleman who was murdered, to beatings, school bullying, employment discrimination alike. And we really used the information there to get the word out to the media and the policymakers that we have a real problem that needs to be addressed immediately. [00:13:24] So I think, you know, the heart of the activism in that first month was really creating a space for people to report what was happening and then using that information to call for change. We were able to persuade the, the city of New York to create a regulation on school bullying where none existed before, and where school administrators are required to track bullying incidents and keep statistics on them. They have to ma– use all means they possibly can to take non-punitive measures. And that regulation protects one point one million students in the public school system in New York City, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, national origin, religion, and the like. We were just able to get the New York City mayor to sign a bill that raises the bar for when employers can reject a request for religious accommodation in the workplace. Post 9/11, Sikhs have been barred from a number of jobs, including city jobs, because of their turbans. And if you wanna work for the public transit system, you have to brand your turban or if you're a Muslim, your hijab, with a Metropolitan Transportation Authority logo. And so we were able to get the mayor to sign a bill last week that basically bans most of those practices. And again, it protects literally millions of New Yorkers who work in the city from discrimination based on religion in the workplace. But at the end of the day, it's again, a regulation that pushes back on the government being able to do whatever it wants and creates a space for anyone to enjoy those protections. [00:14:50] Speaker 13: So in the Bay Area, ASATA members distributed multilingual know your rights flyers and provided legal support in collaboration with other activist groups, such as the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee, the former ADC in San Francisco, the National Lawyers Guild, Council of American-Islamic Relations and the Progressive Bengali Network, and ASATA members provided support by taking down the contact information of the men standing outside the Department of Justice to register so as to notify families in case they were detained or disappeared, and also provided information about free legal resources. [00:15:28] Speaker 14: There's a really moving testimony of a young Muslim girl from Seattle, Washington. Her and her mother were held in detention for, I think, nine months- Mm … without charges or anything, and her mother actually almost died while they were in detention. It was just such a traumatic experience, and I mean, we really need to let these stories be heard. [00:15:46] Speaker 15: I wanted to point something out, that the figures from May 2003 from the INS or BCIS say that the number of people registered as of May 11th, 2003, were 82,581. Number of people detained, and these are their figures, so who knows what the real figures really are, 2,761. Number of people still detained at that time, 158, and the number of people charged with terrorism-related crimes, zero. [00:16:19] Speaker 16: Reports indicate that some of those taken into custody were harshly treated. They were handcuffed, shackled, placed in cold cells without adequate clothing or blankets, blankets, forced to sleep standing or on concrete floors, hosed down with cold water, and denied adequate food and water. [00:16:40] Speaker 17: And I would like to ask for volunteers because when we monitor, when we stand here and monitor people, there are less detentions, there are less questions, and people get done quickly. Some people are afraid to go alone, and they can take a companion with them. If we want safety and security, we cannot buy it by terrorizing other people. We need to change our thinking. We need to change our ways. As superpowers, we need to start empowering people, not taking them away, not putting them in prisons, not detaining. This country has become so secretive. Secret evidence, secret detentions, secret deportations. Everything is secret except our privacy. So we need to really take our country back. [00:17:32] Arati: Okay. So that was a little longer and definitely somewhat heavy. but I think it's really interesting to hear how people were talking about this, especially post 9/11, and how they were talking about the country in general, and then their work in specific. What things stood out to you from how our communities were able to spring into action immediately post 9/11? [00:17:49] Palvinder: I was a teen, so to me, as I learned all of the immediate action that was taken, it was really incredible and inspiring, so many different areas of it, right? Raising awareness around the detentions, trying to create that website. Working on school policies. Like, there was so much that was happening, and so much that continues to happen. Great to see community springing into action. I also struggled for so long in my early organizing days, being frustrated that these systems were not created for us, these policies were not created for us. And then when you learn so many of the policies were literally created against us- post 9/11, the over-policing, the over-targeting, it was just so challenging, right? Like, we have already so much, so many more challenges that we're dealing with, and then here we have additional barriers to just kind of living a, a decent life here. But you know, still continue to be inspired by, the way that folks sort of look to heal the community and support. And so I think that, like, one of the things I think about is, is the community within the communities that we were able to create that culture of healing, as much as possible, and then also thinking about the greater change and sort of protections for our community. I struggle with the hate crime stuff, you know, and the data there because, you know, there's so much around how data is used. Is it used in a beneficial way? Is it even, you know, supporting anything that's gonna create some real change? and then of course there's a surveillance question. But again, like I truly feel that folks thought this was coming from a good place. Um, and so I just continue to be mindful around the tactics that we're using, being mindful of like going fast but also being thoughtful and considerate around how these might impact us in the long run. And I, I hope that we continue to look at that. not just finding sort of immediate solutions that might work for us now, but seeing the long-term impact of them too. [00:19:34] Arati: Yeah, totally. Would love to hear folks' thoughts on this as well, and also I'm curious, I've, I've now heard a few of you say a couple times just like what it meant to be a child at the time, and yeah, maybe not actually being tapped in in that moment of what organizing and activism was taking place when you were that young. But I'm curious also about kind of hearing about it more, and I'm sure as you grew up but also now as an adult, kind of what, how you feel like that maybe has shaped you. [00:20:00] Hafsa: It's great to hear that there was a collection of bullying and racism happening in schools and that being reported because 100% I'm sure each of those data points represents so many other unreported happenings. For reference, I went to high school in Huntington Beach, California. I did not know the demographics of that area until I left high school, and it helped me understand my experiences there, especially with the teachers who were allowed to be racist. One of the only books in my history teacher's class was a book about how the Quran is false. He was a white man, Christian white man, and this was a history class. and he was a beloved teacher, beloved. And this is just one of many things that happened and that went unreported because we thought, oh, we are lesser than them. We do have to stick together. This is how they talk to us in front of us and behind our backs. So I remember hanging out exclusively with other Muslim students who also wore hijab because that's who we were pushed into a corner and you look around and that's who's there. And I remember going to the masjid and every time there was someone who didn't quite look Arab or South Asian or generally Muslim, if it's like a white person entering the masjid, I'm thinking, “Is that a government operative?” And it was sometimes. Every masjid I knew had at least one person who was hella shady, and they were spying on us, and I wonder where that data lives right now. [00:21:30] Arati: Yeah. Absolutely. And that's hard not to think about in the surveillance state we're living in now. [00:21:36] Priya: I was only three when 9/11 happened, but as an organizer now, I am really looking back on how our communities showed up for each other and provided like mutual aid relationship building, and that's the kind of organizing that I wanna build on now in the Bay Area. So the way that like we showed up and we did know your rights in different languages and we, you know, took people's names down, like we're still doing that, and that's the kind of work that I like want us to keep doing and that I feel really proud to be a part of. We have ICE watch at our school where neighbors walk around our school every single morning for an hour, and they have their whistle ready. So if they see ICE, they know how many times to blow the whistle, and we will, you know, spring into action immediately. But yeah, that kind of like relationship building and my neighbor's got my back, and I've got yours, and we're like in this together, and, and we live together, but we also like know each other's names, and we know what it means to keep each other safe because that's not what the government is doing for us. That's what stands out to me from post 9/11 organizing, and that's what I wanna build on. [00:22:46] Palvinder: Yeah, echoing that. Community and connection and relationship building and healing. I remember specifically there was, in Fresno, Piara Singh, an elderly Sikh man, got attacked. And, our first thing was like, “Okay, what do we do? Like, how do we heal as a community as well?” Of course, the news media attention is there forefront for, like, a day or two, maybe a week max. but you know, when the individual recovers, or they are gonna be recovering, there's really not much attention after that. And for us, it was really like, how do we allow our elders to feel safe, right? How do we allow our community to feel safe, that same walk that this individual is taking, you know? And so I think there was components around that about healing, but also wanting to move fast. I think one of my greatest lessons would just be, centering healing and community and relationship building throughout all of it. no matter how fast we wanna go or how quickly we need to go, I just think about the need to center that. And I think more and more trying to find ways when we aren't springing into action about how we can implement some of that and make sure that that's also centered to the work that we're doing. [00:23:51] Arati: Yeah. I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on pieces of the specific organizing that was happening that feel maybe relevant. I'm thinking about the non-punitive bullying measures, the non-discrimination activities that had broad benefits, monitoring for safety and security, the description of the detention conditions. I know we've touched on some of these already, but I wonder if there's anything else that's coming up when people are thinking about strategizing and coalition building in 2026. [00:24:16] Hafsa: All the information I got as a child was through gossips and rumors from elders who were talking, and they were saying, “Hey, we have CIA operatives in the masjid. Hey, we might be attacked. You gotta watch out.” So I think just that sort of conversation or that kind of community interaction is so important because the media wasn't telling me how to save my butt. It was telling me that I'm a scary person, and I'm gonna grow up to do something terrible one day. And I couldn't find an ounce of that within me, so. [00:24:51] Arati: All right. Thanks everybody. Let's move to our next clip. speaking of media, perfect transition. this is a reflection around the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, and a lot of the audio in these clips are actually thinking about when the media started talking to us rather than just about us. [00:25:07] Speaker 19: It's the first time we actually have media approaching us around the time of the anniversary asking us what have been the effects on our communities. Uh, whereas before it would, you know, sort of be focused very much around the families that were directly affected by 9/11 and occasionally we'd get a call to check in about, oh, you know, are you– is your community facing any backlash? We've received a decent number of media requests talking about what the last ten years have been like. What have the various ways that our communities have been affected. And at the same time, uh, you know, I think a lot of the exposés in particular that have been criticizing what law enforcement and government agencies have done in the last ten years, a lot of those have seemed to come out in the last, uh, couple of weeks. Mother Jones did a extensive special on, uh, the FBI and their use of undercover agents and informants across the country. The AP has been doing a series, uh, the Associated Press has been doing a series on the NYPD, their collaboration with the CIA and, and their, uh, mapping of Muslim communities in New York. NPR has been doing stories and, and that it seems that they– there is an interest in the media to sort of be more critical, uh, slightly more critical of law enforcement agencies and, uh, starting to demand some form of transparency and accountability that so far they were just given a free leeway to do whatever they wanted, and everything was justified in the name of protecting, uh, our cities. Uh, but now there's starting to be some questions are starting to be raised. [00:26:48] Arati: Yeah, I feel like this kind of feels really specific in terms of what we were just talking about, and it draws us back into that idea. and I'm curious about if we have reflections on how movement work has changed, especially now that we do have to kind of consider how to engage with the current media apparatus and how does responding to what the media is saying about us, trying to work with the media to share out different kinds of messaging, is that something that folks are thinking about? [00:27:11] Priya: It just reminds me of how like three weeks ago it came out that the federal government was spying on organizing activities in Minnesota among unions, among organizers. Like this is … no surprise this is still happening, but it can be helpful to look back and, and think about how our communities have experienced this before, and how we came together and how we can prevent it. Or just be more aware of the possibility that it will continue to happen. [00:27:40] Palvinder: I think the common thing that I kinda see in, my perspective of it is, like, in the moment when something happens, it's constantly the same thing, right? Oh my gosh, let's go talk to the community, and, like, media wants to paint their narrative of it, right? Questions are very specific. and then there's, like, a timeframe where the reflection happens, right? 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 years later. And it's like, oh, let's see the impact on the community. Let's see how they're affected. But in the moment, when the opportunity is so prime, like, we don't really have that. I mean, I think more and more I've seen folks, even in, like, media trainings with the community. And so I've really appreciated when folks don't actually answer those questions, and they just shift their response to what they really wanna get across because that's really what our community wants to share. You know, we don't wanna just always answer the question and kind of fill the narrative that the media wants in the moment. but really, like, sharing it from our perspective. And so just greater need to write our own histories, document what's happening. I think we're so caught up in the moment sometimes that we don't even do that. And of course, there's a balance, right, of, action is being taken, what sort of impact those, taking photos or videos of those actions have as well. I just really think that we need to continue to make sure that the stories and the narratives that we want to share even in the moment are shared. and so flipping that script is really great for folks who can do that. I'm not an expert on that. I hope to be one day. But, yeah, just wanna also acknowledge that the reflection piece is, when I feel like the media starts talking to us. [00:29:14] Hafsa: Yeah, I think, something that I've shifted within myself because, just, talking to media and, you know, being able to represent myself and my community, that's not something that's within my skillset. Like, that's not something I definitely work on. But what I do love to work on is increasing representation of people who look like us in other areas. And I think back as 11-year-old American Muslim immigrant growing up in America, what did me and my friends need? And something that we didn't have access to was really, like, the outdoors and nature, and that is just the number one healing thing, and that's something that a lot of immigrant communities cannot find when we come to America 'cause we are put in areas that don't have nature, where it's redlined districts or places that we can afford. They don't have access to nature. So something I like to do is try to organize for those communities to get us out in nature and feel safe because when we can feel safe in the world alone, we can feel ourselves in a way that we can't when we hear media tell us that we are scary or we are worthless or whatever else. It's a great place to unwrap those lies and really feel ourselves. [00:30:22] Arati: That's a beautiful reflection. I really appreciate you thinking about what you needed as a child, what our communities need, and, what, what it feels like to work with the media, but also to be like, ” That might not be our friend.” So how do we protect ourselves from the media? Thank you for sharing that. [00:30:37] Palvinder: I'll also just quickly add on the media piece, and this is like a definitely based off my, my experiences. There are certain folks who have access to media, you know, in the community. There are certain folks and organizations who the media will always go to. And, you know, I understand they've built those relationships, they've invested those resources, and I would just really encourage, you know, and continue to encourage those folks to really think about the folks who are on the ground doing the work as well, and giving opportunity to those voices as well when they want them. cause of course, not all organizers and activists want those, opportunities. But, I just think that it's important to share the diversity of voices amongst the community, and while many of those who have access and privilege with media, they are very niche. and yes, they're eloquent in their speaking, they're great at sort of getting what message they want across, but we're also very diverse communities. You know, there are some folks who are gonna pick up the pen and then others who are gonna go to the streets, you know, and organize. There's others contacting decision-makers. So it just all depends. But, yeah, I would just really encourage our communities to really think about, sharing the mic really. [00:31:46] Arati: Okay. Thanks so much for sharing that. These are really, really incredible reflections. Um, we're gonna move to our next set of clips. A lot of this is gonna be audio from a massive Stop Urban Shield demonstration in 2014, which is nested inside of an interview with Zahra Billoo from CAIR or the Council on American Islamic Relations. So we get to hear from Zahra, we get to hear from the Stop Urban Shield work, which was happening right here in the Bay Area, and, um, I'm excited to hear y'all's thoughts. [00:32:14] Speaker 20: I think a, a really huge local victory for Bay Area residents to celebrate is all of the organizing that happened to push back Urban Shield. I don't know if folks are familiar with Urban Shield, but it's essentially like a massive law enforcement training exercise where they train SWAT teams and sell weapons and, you know, military-grade weaponry for domestic police agencies. And so when you wonder why the local police department in Ferguson has a tank or things of that sort, or why people are dying because police are using military-grade weapons, a lot of that's happening in this culture of this Urban Shield convention, and so it's been coming to Alameda County for a couple of years now. [00:32:54] Speaker 21: On the second day of Urban Shield, community members filled the intersection of 10th and Broadway, just outside of the Marriott where the vendor show was taking place. [00:33:11] Speaker 23: Can you read the sign that you're holding? [00:33:15] Speaker 22: Don't shoot. From Ferguson, Gaza to Oakland, our homes are not war zones. [00:33:21] Speaker 23: Simi Makhijani. I'm here with the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action. We're out here to stand in solidarity with all those that are targeted by state-sponsored violence, whether at the hands of Oakland, Ferguson, New York Police Department, or the drone attacks on Pakistan, or the struggles against Zionism in Palestine or Hindu supremacy in India. After September 11th here, in terms of surveillance and unwarranted detentions of Muslims and those mistaken as Muslims in the Sikh population, and in other countries from Kashmir to Gujarat to Gaza, you know, the attacks on Muslims. We haven't always been recognized or as visible as we should be in standing together, walking together in these struggles here, and it's the primary reason that we're trying to be here, because it's really important that non-Black communities of color not be silent on this issue. [00:34:13] Speaker 21: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders came out in force, and nearly everyone I spoke with made links between the militarization of police in our communities in the US and the militarism perpetuated by the US throughout Asia. [00:34:26] Speaker 24: The increasing brutality of the local police and the paranoia about terrorist attacks stems directly from the attack on the Twin Towers. Of course, giving local police military-grade equipment is older than 9/11, but we've seen an upswing in funding from the Department of Homeland Security. So in that way, Urban Shield is one facet of the war on terror. [00:34:45] Speaker 20: There was a really great coalition that formed on the ground in the Bay Area, primarily out of Oakland and San Francisco, that said, “Look, you can't push violent policing in our community, that we're not going to let you use Oakland as a base for that kind of development and activity.” And so they organized for a couple of months leading up to it, and then around the convention last weekend, there were very large rallies and huge visibility events. They also got a couple of people to move their events from the Oakland Marriott, which is where the convention was happening. And as a result, the, the news or the rumor out right now is that Urban Shield will not be returning to the Bay Area. And even if it does, I always find victories even in the organizing, right? Getting hundreds if not thousands of people out to push back against violent policing, against civil liberties erosion is a very big deal. And so if folks wanna learn more about that campaign, they can simply Google Stop Urban Shield. [00:35:41] Arati: I just think there's so many incredible moments in that and, that was a big win in 2014. In thinking, in particular about how the speakers described Urban Shield as an extension of the surveillance state and as an extension of the war on terror, and then about the campaign itself around that event, I'm wondering what lessons the current day movement organizers can take from this. [00:36:01] Palvinder: I think the biggest thing is probably that it's not in a vacuum, right? there's a lot of other movements that are very similar. There's a lot of other things that are a part of these larger systems, right? specifically, it was mentioned as the war on terror, right? So this is just one part of that, one facet of it, and I think it was really great that there was specific call-out for Ferguson, Gaza, other international movements as well across the globe, and I think that that's super critical, in the organizing work that we do. As much as we feel like our local communities might be targeted, this is all part of a greater system. It's not happening in a vacuum, and we have so much to learn from the organizing that's happening in those areas as well. [00:36:39] Hafsa: Yeah, thanks for mentioning that. I think something that helped me get through the time post 9/11 was just realizing that this has happened in America before, like many different times, specifically to the African American community. And I remember reading about Malcolm X, reading about Martin Luther King and thinking, “Oh, these are people who can be my role models. I don't look like them, but I'm pretty sure I feel things that they felt.” And even, like, reading bell hooks or Du Bois, like they didn't look like me, but we shared a similar struggle, and I hope that in the future someone can look at our community, and maybe they don't look like us, but they will say, “Hey, these people fought for the same thing I did,” and it was basically against America's attack on human rights, which has been happening since America was founded. [00:37:27] Arati: I know for me, one of the reasons it feels great to listen to this clip is because right now it feels like we're just in a cacophony of oppression, right? Like, every single day there are these new policies, new initiatives, absurd tweets, just so much messaging coming, and so many policies also happening that we're constantly contesting with. We're constantly trying to fight against. And, it can feel really hard. It can feel really hopeless. And I guess I'm curious about how we can think about these examples of, like, local work, like Urban Shield or any other work that you've engaged in recently, and think about how does, that local, work on the ground help fit into this larger thread or this national moment around liberation [00:38:07] Hafsa: I also very much appreciate that these communities were able to show up to stop things like Urban Shield, because specifically, like in my experience growing up in the Muslim community, I was just so much in my corner just trying to survive that I wouldn't even be able to think about this larger picture of what's happening on the local government le- level that's going to affect me and my kids or whomever else. So I really appreciate that recognition of solidarity and people showing up and saying, “Hey, I know someone who hurts more than me and I'm gonna go out to the streets and stand up for them and protest for them.” ‘Cause I think that's something that's also helped me even when my community has been demonized. It's always think about someone else who's been demonized more than you and make that my fight song rather than my own experiences, because that can be a little harder. [00:38:55] Palvinder: I think the other thing for me is realizing that when folks can't show up, there's other avenues too, right? So not everyone has to be in the streets protesting or showing up to these causes. I think about the need to make sure that our organizing is accessible for all people, and that accessibility looks different. I feel like especially when I was in my, like, 20s, I felt like showing up at protests and, at organizing events was the main way. And if you weren't there, you weren't down for the cause. And I think for me, I learned very quickly that there were reasons why they actually couldn't go and show up there, you know, for their own safety. Just the need to be able to have those different actions so organizing can be accessible. [00:39:33] Hafsa: And I think having CAIR as an organization has been really great. That's been a constant in my life. It was pretty new when I was younger, and I'm so glad that it's still up and running and they're still, like, you know, fighting the good fight. and Balvinder like what you're talking about, like how not everyone can show up to a protest. I remember my first protest, and I told myself at the time, it's my last protest. It was with the Sierra Club in Huntington Beach, and it was a silent protest on the Iraq War. And I was one of two hijabis. The other one was my friend. Everyone else was white, and we were supposed to be silent, walking down Huntington Beach. And who was targeted? It was me by other white people, racists. And I'm like, “I'm silent protests. Don't talk. I don't know what to do.” And I was, like, 17, 18, and I was like, “I'm never doing this again.” So I'm so glad that organizations like CAIR are there and I can actually organize in the Bay Area with people who look like me rather than being told how to organize by people who don't understand my struggle, don't understand my experience, and won't stand up for me when they see something go wrong. [00:40:36] Arati: Oh my, oh my- [00:40:37] Palvinder: Yeah. Oh, oh my gosh. I would not have shown up to any protest if that was my only experience with a protest. I would've been like, “No, these people are all crazy,” and like, “Where's my community at?” [00:40:47] Hafsa: Oh my- No, I switched to anarchism after that. I was like, “No, the Democrats don't have it figured out. I cannot… Y'all don't understand me. You want to maybe, but that's it.” [00:40:59] Arati: Yeah. I feel like at this point I'm like, if there's a protest, we need to have a safety training. We need to know what are the people's risk tolerances. I'm so sorry that happened to you. That is wild. But it's also… I mean, sadly, it's not unique. I think a lot of people have a story of being, like, at a protest and then not being protected. So yeah, how are we, how are we really thinking about how we're protecting ourselves and our community, for sure. [00:41:21] Hafsa: Yeah, and it was a good experience because the Sierra Club fights for land, and knowing that they don't necessarily fight for me gives me information that, hey, I have to do that fight because I'm in environment. I'm a field biologist, so that's something I keep in mind, I think. I'm one of the few people who can actually understand the struggles of the animals and the humans, and that's very rare. [00:41:41] Arati: Do we have any other thoughts on the Bay Area specifically and how we might be positioned in the Bay to support this fight for liberation? [00:41:48] Hafsa: I moved to the Bay Area because I saw that there was a solidarity there that wasn't quite there in Southern California where I lived, in Orange County, and I wanted to learn more from that because I didn't wanna just hang out with people who look like me. I wanted to hang out with people who had all these different kinds of experiences with the American government, with being discriminated against, because The answer is there. It's between all of us. It's not within our little silos of community. It's when we all connect together, and that's also what brought me to joining ASATA as well. [00:42:17] Priya: I echo that. I also grew up in SoCal in a really white, wealthy suburb called Manhattan Beach, which sounds not too dissimilar from Huntington Beach. And yeah, the message of solidarity that the Bay Area really espouses is what brings me here. And, the way that we show up for each other in the Bay feels uniquely inspiring. Whether it's Urban Shield, whether it's like, oh, there's a Muslim ban, we're at SFO within like hours. Oh, we're gonna, accompany people to their ICE court hearings. Like, I really feel like we just show up in unique ways. And yesterday I did canvassing for ICE Out of Dublin, and it's, that similar message of like we're out here, we're talking to neighbors. And like Balvinder said, there are so many ways that you can show up for each other, but we have a history of doing it. [00:43:03] Arati: I love that. This takes me right to the next thing I wanted to talk about, which is, a lot of people organizing now don't have a living memory of 9/11, right? And so we're gonna listen to some clips, from Deepa, who's a community organizer, and Fahd Ahmed, who was the legal and policy director of Desis Rising Up and Moving. And, they both have some kind of reflections around social movements, young organizers, and, yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna think a little bit about that as we continue to, like, look forward. [00:43:29] Speaker 19: Social movements have always been the main vehicle for change whether in the United States or the world abroad. And and the power of social movements is that the democratic potential that you build, the people's political awareness that you build, the power that you build doesn't dissipate away just based on an election. Doesn't dissipate based on the changing of a person in power and that if we really had truly strong social movements that built coalitions, built alliances as were discussed earlier, that those movements retain power through various ups and downs, through various issues. And if those movements are infused with a deeper political understanding, historical awareness, that they can be very powerful in holding government accountable. While all these sorts of acts may happen, blowbacks may happen, backlash may happen, at the end of the day, we– the best– the government is the only place that we can hold accountable through our taxes, through our votes, through our social mobilization. [00:44:33] Speaker 25: Some of the young folks that are entering or working at nonprofits now, supporting South Asian nonprofits don't have a living memory of 9/11 and the global war on terror, and they have been politicized in different ways, right, over the last eight years, for example, the pandemic, global wars, etc. And so there are a couple of ways in which I've been thinking about how we can support South Asian young people. So for example, how can we share historical analysis and political analysis so that young people understand that they are part of a trajectory of South Asian activism that actually started well before 9/11, before the nineteen sixties, right? And that continues to today. So they don't feel fragmented. So that's something that I've been sitting with a lot. Another is around pathways into public service and community service and into the nonprofit sector. So how could we support young people in terms of building their skills in having pathways open to them into our nonprofit organizations? And then finally, how do we support them, um, so that they can do this work for the long run? You know, we all struggle with burnout. We all struggle with sustainability. What are some lessons learned that we can pass on? What are some best practices? That's something that's been sitting with me quite a bit, and I hope that the coalition will really think about supporting young people's leadership and finding different avenues and pathways to do that. [00:46:00] Arati: What do we think about how we can share historical analyses that will help people new to organizing and understanding their role? Or how can we support young people in building skills that kind of help get them into movement work? [00:46:11] Hafsa: I think reading literature is very, very, very important. When I think about what's helped me understand myself better, it was things like the Black Panthers, and that's another reason why I moved to the Bay Area. Like, they're organizing. They weren't just there armed guards, like, policing their, policing other people from their community. It was also, like, you know, free lunch programs for the kids. It was a holistic understanding of community and what it meant, what it really meant. Like, hey, we got us and no one else got us. [00:46:43] Palvinder: Some of my favorite things has been around BASE, so Bay Area Solidarity Summer gives context to like, young organizers, about the long-standing history of South Asian organizing, and it is so diverse. I remember the first time I saw it, I was, like, amazed. I was just like, “Wow,” “This is really great.” It was so inclusive of different communities, in the larger sort of South Asian stream of organizing, and so it was just really great. I think Anirudha and Mrinalini cover that South Asian timeline, each year at BASE, and it just allows you to see the context that this was pre-9/11. This is, going back to the '60s, '70s there's been so many other movements that have happened, and just all of the different actions that have been taken. And so I think that's really, really helpful to see it across communities, religious, minority, state, countries, all of that, in the larger, broader South Asian group and then just the need for training and educating and informing young people. I think it's never too early to start. And then I think just investing in our communities. I have to say, I know for the Punjabi Sikh community, I worked for Jakara Movement, was our first community organizer. We had a part-time staff member, turned full-time staff member prior to me working. And I remember when I would tell people that I'm, like, an organizer, they would be like, “No, no, no, but like, like, what's your job? Like, what do you actually do?” So it was interesting to see when I would do the work, they would be so appreciative, they'd love it, and they wanted it to happen. But the investment in understanding that this can also be a job and needs to be a job, in doing development work in the community around the organization, I just saw that, we want things to happen, but we don't wanna put our money there always. And I think that if we want for greater social movements and greater advancements in our communities to happen, we need to be like other communities. We need to have organizations that are established, investing in paid positions. And so many of us do this in our free time, right? And I think that so much of it happens in that. But we can see where folks in social movements have gone further, and that's because there's been intentional and critical investments that have sustained them. So great call-out to, I think all of our communities to making sure that we're investing in this because we can only do so much of it in our free time. [00:48:50] Priya: I really appreciated the thread of education, and I was a BASE alum, and Aditi gave me a great overview of South Asian organizing. And, like you said, Balvinder, it's such an in-depth history. and it really has helped inform my current politics and what South Asian organizing can look like today. and I think the other way that I try to educate myself is just, like, be curious, ask questions. Ask my grandparents what their experience during partition was like. Ask my parents what their experience post 9/11 was like, and just, learn from each other and learn those histories also, public education curriculum, especially in Oakland, is getting better and better. Like, all ninth graders have to take ethnic studies. We talk about the Black Panther Party starting in, like, fifth grade in Oakland schools, so I feel like there's a lot of progress being made. [00:49:39] Speaker 27: I think that we need to begin to dream again. I think especially among progressives, there is a great despair and a cynicism and even a pessimism as we're entering a new decade and so much of the apparatus of oppression that we've inherited after 9-11 have not, has not been rolled back. The wars persist. And I think it begins with dreaming again enough to inspire the, inspire movement building. And I think that we need a new frame for movement building. I think rights separate us as if, you know, immigrant rights is separate from LGBT rights is separate from Muslim and South Asian rights. I think that we need to ground our movement building in shared moral imperatives. There is a groundswell out there of not only young Sikh and Muslim and South Asian Americans, but really a whole generation of Americans who are really hunger, hungry to emerge from the shadow of 9-11 and think of this, the end of the 9-11 decade as an end to a chapter of history and the beginning of a new chapter. [00:50:37] Esha: So again, this is kind of us tying back to what we've been talking about, which is just how, how do we connect that work and build on top of it, and also keep people engaged and continue to build solidarity. so would love… I know we've kinda touched on this as a through line of all of our conversation, but would just love to hear your hopes for the future and, and what you see as a positive, and where we can go from here. [00:51:01] Palvinder: Esha, I'm a bit critical about this, I'm gonna start with the critical, but I'm hoping to end on a positive here. I think when I hear a lot of this dreaming and need to close this chapter, I struggle because I think there is a lot of healing that still needs to take place and a lot of healing that never took place because we come from communities that sweep things under the rug. When I think about a lot of my experiences, a lot of my parents' generation's experiences, they just never talked about it. They had to provide for their family. They had to move on. They had to figure out how do they continue to have space for Punjabi Sikh folks in the Central Valley or in, in Northern California. I know when I went to college and was exposed to folks who came from different socioeconomic backgrounds, things just really changed, and there was a privilege with being able to dream and think about your future without having to think about, “Is my dad gonna be safe?” “Are we gonna have enough food?” Right? Or any of those questions. So Yes, all in for dreaming. I think there's a need to make sure that we're healing and we're uplifting everyone that's a part of the community as well. and so dreaming means that we're thinking about the organizing. We're thinking about what's coming into our futures and how are we gonna get there, and it means taking everyone with us. I am very hopeful, and I've seen in the last two decades of my own organizing and my own community building, the ways that folks are showing up for others who don't have those same backgrounds. I see the conversations around those who are detained in this current climate right now conversations that my own parents may not have had, right? Just advancements in their own thinking around, a lot of the politics in the past eight to 12 years even, and I see that across the community as well. Not everyone, of course. I don't know when we'll get there, but I definitely see greater humanity and just connecting back to folks and seeing those inhumane conditions that people are living through. Still have a lot of work to do around, when we talk about homelessness and substance use and so much other stuff. But I think we're making ample progress, and it's because we're really trying to bring everyone, the generations ahead of us that, never wanted to have these conversations and we never thought we could ever change their perspective. Some of them are slowly moving over. But I am grateful for just organizations and people and spaces and community, who can come together. And I know Aisa was like, “Oh, this has been great.” I feel the exact same way, right? Like, you know, three of us are joining on a call, and I feel like we're able to come and connect in this space because of that sort of shared linkage around organizing and care and healing. So just really grateful for spaces like this and people who continue to really think critically about the way that we do this work. [00:53:43] Hafsa: Yeah, thanks for sharing that, Balvinder. I also grew up in, like, a very low-income household in government housing in Southern California, and I think a lot of American Muslim immigrants in the area were also in a similar situation. And, I think about the struggles, the everyday struggles that my parents still have to go through. There's no, like, healing. There's no understanding of 9/11 still. They're still working every single day. And yeah, I can dream of a better life for them, but I've kind of been coming to terms now that they're not gonna experience the freedom that I wish we could all experience in their lifetime. And yeah, like I said, it all comes down to the socioeconomic fight in this country, and really throughout the world, where we can say it's all these marginalized communities because of what we look like, but it all really comes down to keeping the classes separate and keeping a very high income class continuously growing, and the rest of us are just the soil that they use to extract nutrients from. And there has been a larger struggle of socioeconomic issues throughout history, and that's also something that's really helped me understand my own position in the world. Because even though 9/11 did position me as a perpetrator of violence that I've never done, I realize that there's… it, it, it really helps to link myself and my experiences to struggle that have already happened because it makes you not feel alone, and it really helps you feel that solidarity even with people who are not alive still, and that's really helpful. I, I think about ancestors a lot, and I think of we… A lot of us don't have access to our actual grandparents or great-grandparents because of partition or whatever else, so I've looked to people like Malcolm X and other people like that. And even I've read a lot of Tolstoy . Like, even it, it's not just something that, um, has to happen right now with the people that are alive right now. It's a long line of human rights movements and the thirst for freedom that we're all a part of, and that makes me feel a lot more contained as I'm going through the more difficult parts of being part of a marginalized community in America today. [00:56:05] Arati: We would love to hear your thoughts as well on that last clip. [00:56:08] Priya: I appreciate the call to dreaming and thinking beyond what exists, and I feel like music and art and all the ways that we, you know, practice joy and experience that in community with each other is part of dreaming and, um, yeah, like creating what we don't yet see. [00:56:29] Arati: Absolutely. So that was a clip from Valarie Kaur, who's an award-winning filmmaker, and we thought it was, her words about dreaming, y'all's words about the future, hope, solidarity, also pain, and how we heal and how we move together, that's the note we wanted to end on. So thank you so much for sharing your stories, your strategy, your, hope, your dreams, your experiences of isolation, and your experiences of community, because we're not gonna get through this without each other, and we look forward to continuing working together and organizing together. And one day we will, we will win, and we'll all be liberated. Thanks, everyone.

Kazu Haga I have lived in Buddhist monasteries. I have spent the last twenty-five years in social justice movements. I have sat in hundreds of circles with incarcerated people witnessing them do the hard work of healing and accountability. And I have been humbled and inspired by my own, never-ending healing journey.My work tries to bring all of my experiences together in a way that contributes to social change and collective liberation. Each day I find myself more committed to fighting injustice. And each day, I learn more that the fight for justice is not a political battle. It is about healing the impact of violence and separation on our souls.Something Rather Than Nothing Podcast
Episode Description:Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joins James for a From the Archive conversation about basketball, identity, mentorship, faith, writing, civil rights, and his book Becoming Kareem: Growing Up On and Off the Court.The episode begins with basketball. James asks Kareem how the game has changed since his playing days, and Kareem explains the shift toward the three-point shot, the rule changes around physical defense, and the way modern spacing has altered how teams score.But the conversation quickly becomes deeper than basketball.James sees Becoming Kareem as a book about the search for identity. Kareem agrees, explaining that Black Americans have often had identities imposed on them—first through slavery, then through Jim Crow, then through the lingering assumptions and limitations of American racism. His own journey required rejecting those imposed definitions and building an identity he could be proud of.Kareem emphasizes the importance of mentors. Some were direct mentors, like John Wooden and Bruce Lee. Others were cultural or intellectual mentors, like Malcolm X. Together, they helped him understand not only how to succeed, but how to think about who he wanted to become.The central advice Kareem gives young people is simple: knowledge is power. Learn what your future could be. Seek out what motivates you. Do not let someone else define your path. Every person has a unique spark, and the work is to discover where that spark leads.James and Kareem also talk about fundamentals. Kareem remembers John Wooden expecting him to graduate and teaching his players the smallest details of preparation, including how to put on their socks. The lesson is that success depends on doing the basic things correctly before the glamorous work begins.The conversation then turns to Kareem's life as a writer. James asks about the challenge of moving from basketball into Sherlock Holmes fiction. Kareem explains that writing Mycroft Holmes required serious preparation: understanding Victorian England, Arthur Conan Doyle's canon, and the possibilities hidden inside Mycroft's brief appearances.Kareem also reflects on Islam, his conversion, and the way faith gave him a moral anchor. He talks about being raised Catholic, studying Islam, reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and finding a belief system that helped him understand right and wrong.Near the end, James asks about Kareem's seriousness in photos and the HBO documentary Kareem: Minority of One. Kareem explains that his height made him visible everywhere he went, and that constant scrutiny made him more guarded than someone who could disappear into a crowd.The episode closes with the idea that everyone is, in some way, a minority of one. Every person has to figure out their own path, and often that path is not the one their parents followed. Kareem's story is about basketball, but it is also about becoming a whole person.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to Kareem's career scoring record, the state of the NBA, Becoming Kareem, and his then-current writing projects reflect the original recording period.Since this conversation was recorded, LeBron James has surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA's all-time leading scorer. The conversation remains historically valuable because it captures Kareem reflecting on his record, his era, and his evolution before that milestone changed.What You'll Learn:How Kareem thinks basketball changed after his era.Why the three-point shot transformed modern NBA strategy.Why Becoming Kareem is ultimately a book about identity.How imposed identity shaped Kareem's experience as a Black American.Why knowledge is power in the search for a future.How mentors helped Kareem understand who he was and who he wanted to become.What John Wooden taught him about education, discipline, and preparation.Why fundamentals matter before talent can fully express itself.How the lesson of “putting on your socks” applies far beyond basketball.Why Bruce Lee's “one kick 10,000 times” idea connects to the skyhook.How Kareem approached writing Sherlock Holmes fiction through Mycroft.Why religion became part of Kareem's search for identity.How Islam gave him a moral anchor.Why constant public scrutiny made him more guarded.Why competitive fire separates great athletes from talented ones who do not fully develop.Why every generation has to find its own path.Timestamped Chapters:[02:38] How Basketball ChangedKareem explains how the three-point shot, rule changes, and less physical defense changed the modern NBA.[04:14] Beyond BasketballJames introduces Becoming Kareem and frames Kareem's life as a continuing search for identity.[05:44] Rejecting an Imposed IdentityKareem explains how Black Americans have had identities imposed on them and why his journey required building one he could be proud of.[07:03] Mentors and the Making of a SelfJames points to Coach Wooden, Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali, Wilt Chamberlain, Malcolm X, and other influences who shaped Kareem's identity.[08:17] Knowledge Is PowerKareem says young people should seek knowledge, understand what motivates them, and choose a path instead of accepting one imposed by others.[09:57] Education, UCLA, and CommunityKareem explains why earning a college degree mattered to him personally and to his community.[11:12] Finding Your Path in AmericaKareem talks about the many ways to become successful and the need to figure out what you want to pursue.[12:12] Fundamental PreparationKareem explains why every field requires fundamentals, whether basketball, chemistry, law, or any other discipline.[13:05] John Wooden and the Socks LessonJames and Kareem discuss Wooden teaching players how to put on socks and why small details determine whether bigger work can happen.[14:26] The Skyhook and 10,000 KicksJames connects Bruce Lee's practice philosophy to Kareem's skyhook and the discipline of repeating one skill until it becomes mastery.[15:46] Becoming a Sherlock Holmes WriterKareem explains the challenge of entering a new creative field and writing about Mycroft Holmes.[17:02] Finding the Blank Space in MycroftJames notes that Kareem built a story from Arthur Conan Doyle's brief suggestion that Mycroft was, at times, the British government.[17:39] Religion and IdentityKareem explains how his Catholic upbringing, interest in monotheism, African history, and The Autobiography of Malcolm X led him toward Islam.[18:49] A Moral AnchorKareem says Islam helped him clarify his belief system and understand right and wrong.[20:06] A Minority of OneJames asks why Kareem often appeared so serious in photos, and Kareem explains the effect of lifelong scrutiny.[21:31] What Coach Wooden Still Teaches HimKareem reflects on Wooden's example, expectations, and belief that effort in academics and athletics was worthwhile.[22:47] Talent, Skill, and Competitive FireKareem says competitive fire often separates championship athletes from talented players who never fully make it.[24:35] Civil Rights and Speaking Up YoungJames asks about the Cleveland Summit, Muhammad Ali, and Kareem's early role in civil-rights conversations.[25:54] Everyone Is a Minority of OneJames and Kareem return to the question of identity and the need for each generation to define its own path.Additional Resources:Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Official WebsiteBecoming Kareem — Hachette Book GroupMycroft Holmes Series — Penguin Random HouseKareem Abdul-Jabbar — Simon & Schuster Author PageWe All Want to Change the World — Penguin Random HouseGame of Death — Janus FilmsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode uncovers a story far richer than food culture. We go back to the 1960s, when Black and Asian migrants in Britain were refused service at pubs displaying signs that read “No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs.”In the West Midlands, Punjabi foundry workers created their own spaces, places that offered safety, solidarity, and, later, a new cultural identity. These early “desi pubs” weren't restaurants; they were hubs of resistance. Activists organised inside them, and Bhangra musicians played in makeshift back rooms. In 1965, Malcolm X even walked into Smethwick to see Britain's colour bar for himself, experiencing refusal of service in a local pub that now stands at the centre of this history.Over time, these spaces evolved. Once Punjabis felt safe inside them, food emerged as a defining feature, a fusion of working-class Britain and diasporic Punjab. What began as a refuge became a cultural invention: the mixed grill. This dish, found almost nowhere else in the world, remains tied to the industrial heart of Birmingham, the rhythms of the Bhangra scene, and a community rebuilding itself far from home.Today, as the UK faces rising tensions once again, the story of the desi pub is more relevant than ever. It reminds us how communities resist exclusion and how culture is born in the spaces where people fight simply to belong.

This week on Oh That's Deep: Black Women Conversations, Jănine and Nicole start with some wedding-week chaos—from Nicole's bridal alterations nightmare to destination wedding logistics, RSVPs, and Janine's very serious commitment to making sure the Jamaica welcome party happens. Then the conversation gets deep. In What's on Our Timeline?, Jănine brings a viral social media series featuring high school students struggling with basic reading, comprehension, and math. What begins as a reaction to the videos quickly becomes a much larger conversation about Black children, literacy, education, parenting, school systems, learning disabilities, access to resources, social media, and the responsibility of the community. Nicole and Jănine don't agree on everything—particularly when it comes to where accountability begins—but they agree on what's at stake. Literacy isn't simply about passing a class. It affects our ability to understand contracts, manage money, advocate for ourselves, navigate healthcare, pursue careers, build wealth, and function independently. And if children are reaching high school without those fundamental skills, pointing fingers isn't enough. We have to ask what happened to the village—and what it will take to rebuild it. In Letters From Our Listeners, a concerned listener asks the question at the heart of the episode: How do we help children who are already struggling without shaming them—and how do we demand more from the systems that continue to fail them? Janine and Nicole talk about positive reinforcement, community responsibility, grassroots solutions, parental accountability, and why lifting the next generation requires all of us. And in the Motivational Moment, the ladies reflect on Malcolm X's reminder that education is the passport to the future—and why preparing our children for that future begins today. Until we meet again… Pray. Work. Slay. And show off your melanated excellence. Find more shows like this on the Mean Ole Lion app.

En 1961 y 1973 Nina Simone hizo dos viajes a África, dos viajes profundamente significativos. Entre el primero, a Nigeria y organizado por la AMSAC (polémica, cuanto menos) y el segundo, el autoexilio en Liberia, Simone vivió la primera línea de la lucha por los derechos civiles, fue amiga íntima de Malcolm X y participó en la marcha de Selma a Montgomery. Tras los asesinatos de los líderes civiles, decidió marcharse para siempre de los que llegó a llamar United Snakes of America.Escuchar audio
We welcome first-time guest Kyle Flynn to continue our series "Mic on Fire," covering the films of Denzel Washington, and dive deep into Spike Lee's 1992 epic, MALCOLM X. We get into Denzel's prep for the role, Spike's fight to make it himself, how he blew through the studio's budget to actually shoot in Egypt, Terence Blanchard's score, and why this might be the most complete marriage of director, actor, and subject in movie history. Plus: our favorite scenes, the most iconic shots, and some outrage over the Oscar snubs.
Africa Today revisits a conversation with distinguished historian Dr. Sterling Stuckey about his life, scholarship, and landmark book, Slave Culture: Nationalist Theory and the Foundations of Black America. Stuckey reflects on African cultural continuity, the roots of Black nationalism, his involvement in the civil rights movement, and his work alongside figures including Malcolm X, Paul Robeson, C.L.R. James, Walter Rodney, and Bob Moses. A weekly news program providing information and analysis about Africa and the African Diaspora, hosted by Walter Turner. The post Africa Today – Sterling Stuckey on Slave Culture and the Foundations of Black America appeared first on KPFA.
L. Joy is back and she has another lesson for us, the occupants of the Office of the Citizen, that is timely and important. Today's topic: the responsibilities of the people at a time of war/global conflict and how Black political thought has long challenged people to understand freedom as a global struggle. Weaving together everything from Hip-hop culture, to Dubois, PanAfricanism, to Malcom X's international human rights agenda, and Constitutional powers, L. Joy proves that citizens are not powerless. There is plenty of actions to be taken now.
This is part 2 of a 2 part conversation… In part 2 of a two-part conversation, host Galen Bingham asks Orlando about his “invisible board of directors,” and Orlando names Malcolm X for strength and courage, Barack Obama for leadership and vision under pressure, and Jesus Christ for grace and forgiveness. They connect these traits to leadership at home and in Orlando's real estate work. Galen outlines three leadership fundamentals, while Orlando adds that motivation varies by person and leaders must adapt and then the discussion shifts to basketball, debating how to guard Victor Wembanyama, and how eras have affected the NBA game.

Welcome back to Everyone Needs an Aquarius! In this episode, Dom and D tackle a wild mix of true crime, pop culture, and the realities of fame. They dive into the unbelievable 24 Jump Street-style drug trafficking bust at Penn State fraternities, and react to the ongoing Tupac murder trial featuring a tense, reluctant testimony from Mob James. They also dissect Young Thug's candid speech to middle schoolers about navigating fame, and get into a heated debate over Jacquees claiming the "King of R&B" title. Plus, they explore the cultural legacies of Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Mary J. Blige, and discuss the historical surveillance of prominent Black figures like Malcolm X.

Still taking this moment in. I had the opportunity to speak with two legends, Dr. Bernice King @berniceaking and Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz @ilyasahshabazz We talked about legacy, unity, and something that really stayed with me from Dr. Bernice King, “you can never erase what their parents built and instilled in all of us”.Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X changed history, but their impact didn't stop with them. Their words, courage, and fight for justice will still live through generations.I am grateful I got to have this conversation, and hear from two women continuing that legacy in their own powerful way. thank you @essencefest ..Full Conversation @spotify @spotifypodcasts The JamirSmith Show ..#fyp #explore #reels
Rediffusion Suivez le parcours d'un homme dont la voix a bouleversé l'Amérique des années 60 : Malcolm X. Orateur fulgurant, militant radical, Malcolm X s'impose comme l'un des leaders les plus puissants du mouvement afro-américain. De la rue à la Nation of Islam, il transforme sa colère en discours, sa trajectoire personnelle en combat politique, et devient une figure aussi admirée que redoutée. Mais sa parole dérange. Surveillé par le FBI, menacé de toutes parts, lâché par ses anciens alliés, Malcolm X avance dans un climat de tensions extrêmes. Le 21 février 1965, il est abattu en pleine réunion à Harlem. L'assassinat choque le pays et ouvre une plaie qui ne s'est jamais refermée. Entre luttes internes, manipulations politiques et zones d'ombre judiciaires, La Traque de Malcolm X raconte comment un homme est devenu une cible — et pourquoi sa mort reste, encore aujourd'hui, une affaire brûlante.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron explore the challenging Christian teachings on violence, forgiveness, justice, and discipleship through the lens of church history, biblical theology, and modern culture. Building on their previous discussion about Christian persecution in India, Nathan and Cameron examine the legacy of the Anabaptist tradition, the Radical Reformation, Constantine, Augustine's Two Cities, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and the Civil Rights Movement to ask what it truly means to follow Jesus in a world marked by conflict. They discuss Christian nonviolence, just war theory, mercy versus justice, the relationship between the Church and the state, and whether Jesus' commands to love enemies remain binding today. Rather than offering easy answers, Nathan and Cameron invite listeners into a thoughtful conversation about Christian ethics, faith, political power, and the Kingdom of God, encouraging believers to wrestle with Scripture and consider how the teachings of Christ shape everyday life, the Church, and society.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speaker JOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

Black Power! A name with a ring to it on both sides of the Atlantic, taken as a sign of Black American rage incarnated by a few names: Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, the Black Panthers, Angela Davis. Behind these archetypes of the 1960s and 70s stood a political movement as mutable as it was international, that of Black Power, with the goal of bringing about a global uprising. This insurrection of Black worlds has haunted the West for centuries, rumbling beneath the words of Frantz Fanon and Lorraine Hansberry, the films of Melvin Van Peebles and Sarah Maldoror, in the albums of Sun Ra and Archie Shepp, the poems of Amiri Baraka and Sonia Sanchez. In Fantômes de la révolution noire: Une Histoire culturelle transatlantique ([Ghosts of the Black Revolution: A Transatlantic Cultural History] Éditions Ròt-Bò-Krik, 2026), Grégory Pierrot evokes the ghosts of Black Power and shows that the arts are real laboratories where the Black Revolution is formed, reinvented, and broadcast. Guest Grégory Pierrot is Associate professor of English at the University of Connecticut, where he studies the cultural and artistic networks of the Black Atlantic. In addition to Fantômes de la révolution noire published by Ròt-Bò-Krik earlier this year, Dr. Pierrot has translated and co-translated a series of essays and novels from and into French, and edited or co-edited several volumes concerning the literature of and about the Haitian revolution in French and English. He is also the author of The Black Avenger in Atlantic Culture and Decolonize Hipsters. Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama, with research concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan France and the francophone Caribbean, with a book manuscript under review on posthumanist ecological engagement in the surrealist movement.

World Political Exposure (audio) Compiled Tues. 21 July 2026 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington https://operationdisclosureofficial.com/2026/07/21/restored-republic-via-a-gcr-as-of-july-21-2026/ The Deep State Has Been Stealing Elections Around The World For 20 Years Med Beds Have Been Produced And Running Since The 1970s Musk Is Building A Home Med Bed For Public Use Healthcare run by Big Pharma will never cure disease. A nation run by the media will never know the truth. A country run by banks will always be in debt. A state run by war will never know peace. …Julian Assange on Telegram Gethsemane | The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square & a Children's Choir “You are a treasure, created with purpose and love by God. Every day is a new chance to shine your light in the world.” Judy Note: On Tues. 21 July 2026 the Quantum Financial System will be unveiled in a worldwide broadcast that securely transmitted via the Quantum Communication Network. The fundamentals of this system, as well as the concrete actions that any citizen can take to start utilizing it, will be revealed. The enemy has full infiltration of your home, and not a single shot was fired. Billions have been invested in the slow poisoning of humanity. They do not want you waking up. They want you a slave to the system forever. The enemy's biggest weapon was distraction. While everyone was arguing: • Technology became more powerful. • Privacy became optional. • Debt became normal. • Convenience replaced freedom. • Information became harder to verify. • Algorithms began deciding what billions of people see. • Fear became profitable. • Outrage became a business model. • Independent thinking became increasingly rare. • The loudest voices drowned out the most important questions. The strongest prison is built when people stop asking questions, stop verifying information, and accept every narrative without thinking for themselves. Stay curious. Question everything. Verify everything. Think for yourself. What we thought we knew, but didn't really know and now are supposed to know but don't have a clue. With clones, doubles, made up movies Hollywood style and Trump's Military Alliance throwing more popcorn at us, it gets sooo confusing: Mon. 20 July 2026 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio Fox News: “I designated two additional Mexican cartels, the Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. Under President Trump's leadership, we will never stop fighting against violent narco-terrorists from flooding our nation with deadly drugs.” Mon. 20 July 2026 After years of being lied to and gaslit by the mainstream media, voting companies, and crooked politicians, voting systems were always connected to the internet and NOT air-gapped, with IP addresses confirming foreign servers were sending and receiving data to these machines during the 2020 election. Not only did the machines have internet access, they were bought and came standard with foreign made 3G/4G modems already installed in the machines, with remote wireless backdoor access to manipulate the vote count in real time. …Dan Bongino on Telegram Jessie Czebotar claims she witnessed Hillary Clinton, George Bush, Dick Cheney, Joe Biden and others at S-----c Rituals and child hunting parties run by the Rothschilds. The entire “fossil fuel” scam was invented by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 1800s to create artificial scarcity and jack up prices to insane levels. Oil is abiotic. It is a liquid mineral cooked deep in the Earth's mantle under crushing pressure and scorching heat. If people knew oil is basically tap water for the planet, endlessly generated from below, the entire parasitic geopolitics of wars, sanctions, and price manipulation would evaporate overnight. 75 entry-level driving schools are now under investigation for FRAUD. 24,000 drivers who can't speak English were already taken off the roads — and 4 states had to cancel 28,000 licenses issued ILLEGALLY. 9,500 schools have already been CANCELED from the federal registry. “Thousands of unqualified trucking schools have already been taken off the federal registry, but Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation are working to do even more.” Possible Timing: On Thurs. 16 July 2026 the Quantum Financial System went live worldwide. Every major bank connected. Old fiat system dead. GCR gold-backed currencies of 209 nations igniting. NESARA GESARA debt jubilee implemented. Saint Germain Trust of 890 trillion activated for the people. Constitutional Republic restored July 4. US Inc dissolved. On Thurs. 16 July 2026: President Trump signed Executive Order 2026-1947 declaring Med Bed Technology released to the public. Non-invasive treatments under an hour use specific wavelengths so the body heals itself. Free Med Bed access for the general public worldwide soon. Since 2019 the AMA opposed release citing threats to Big Pharma and insurance. Internal AMA email to 847,000 doctors admitted PEMF efficacy for tissue regeneration but threatened license loss and criminal charges for use. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 at 03:17 am Geneva time the WHO deleted over 14,000 pages proving electromagnetic frequency therapy effectiveness including 70-94% tissue regeneration rates, 67-89% cancer remission data, and memos on the frequency problem destroying health economics. On Sat. 18 July 2026 Japan became the first nation to approve Med Bed technology for public hospitals. Three types authorized: PEMF Regeneration Chamber (7.83-14.1 Hz for cancer and o---n failure), Torsion Field DNA Repair Unit (528 Hz for genetic disorders and aging reversal), Biophotonic Coherence Restorer (full-spectrum light for immune restoration). Deployment begins September 1 2026 across 340 hospitals. South Korea approval expected August 2026, India Q4 2026, United States within 120 days. Pharma stocks crashed, emergency meetings called it reckless endangerment. On Mon. 20 July 2026: Temporary Martial Law at maximum alert. EBS preparing decoded pages within hours. 10 days of communication darkness imminent. Military forces positioning for global shutdown protocols. Large scale arrest operations approaching. Hillary Clinton scheduled Tues. 28 July 2026 for Crimes Against Humanity and Children. MedBeds online next week. Global streams of healing centers activating. Free access to Med Beds everywhere by mid August. Regenerative pods reverse aging, regrow limbs in minutes, erase chronic disease, activate DNA and pineal gland. Cabal deep state melting as suppressed military technology from tunnels and Starlink networks floods the planet. Big Pharma dies. Humanity reborn in the Restored Republic. The Great Awakening is here. Nothing can stop what is coming. Global Currency Reset: On Thurs. 16 July 2026 the Quantum Financial System went live worldwide. Every major bank connected. Old fiat system dead. GCR gold-backed currencies of 209 nations igniting. NESARA GESARA debt jubilee implemented. Saint Germain Trust of 890 trillion activated for the people.

In a worldwide broadcast that is securely transmitted via the Quantum Communication Network, the fundamentals of this system, as well as the concrete actions that any citizen can take to start utilizing it, will be revealed. The Quantum Network operates on real-time synchronized quantum nodes that are impervious to manipulation, interference, and surveillance. No current supercomputer can crack the level of security provided by quantum encryption, which secures every transaction, account, and asset. This is financial sovereignty for everyone, not just the wealthy. You'll discover how to get into your biometric-assigned account. You will observe how Rainbow Tokens work in this system as actual, gold-backed value. You will comprehend the reasons behind the phase-out of every antiquated technique, including fiat money, third-party processors, and credit networks. Tomorrow's demonstration will feature real-time, secure, and instantaneous international transfers that are carried out without the need for banks, apps, or approval delays. Humanitarian initiatives will be funded in a matter of seconds. Blocked assets will be reactivated and redirected to the individuals. Most significantly, you will witness how corruption at its source is prevented from affecting your identity, wealth, and future. This is the culmination of everything. The Alliance has been dismantling the system from within for years, removing layers of control and deceit. The replacement is now prepared—not as a substitute, but as the only practical option for the future. There won't be any going back after tomorrow. This is the end of the days of financial slavery, hidden taxes, and weaponized inflation. Pay close attention. Everything will be exposed by the light. You can never unsee the truth once you've seen it. Not in theory, but in practice, the quantum era has arrived. It's not just a reveal tomorrow. It is the start of your involvement in a system designed for the people, freedom, and truth. Early Mon. Morning 20 July 2026 at exactly 03:00 EST, Protocol 19 entered its final, non-reversible completion phase. The Black Swan Event was kinetic. Protocol 19 has been fully completed. The Federal liquidation was terminal. …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The Federal Reserve System has officially lost its primary administrative routing certificates, and the legacy paper matrix has run out of broadcast range. The Global White Hat Alliance has finalized the hard-override, and the operational logs for the next 48 hours are locked into the live backend: CHAPTER 1: THE SYSTEM FLIPS Protocol 19 has triggered the absolute migration of global monetary routing. The legacy SWIFT network data hubs in Brussels and New York have been permanently decoupled from the primary ledger lines. The entire baseline architecture has transitioned to the Quantum Financial System (QFS) — where every single transaction pool, international settlement, and corporate clearance is forced to execute through clean, digital asset-backed channels. CHAPTER 2: THE GOLDEN STANDARDS ACTIVATION The era of speculative, print-on-demand fiat paper is dead. The US Dollar and Euro corporate illusions are hitting an absolute wall. Under the strict enforcement of the new global economic protocols, every currency digital asset line must be anchored directly to verified, audited physical precious metals. The unbacked, synthetic liabilities that the Cabal used to manipulate energy and housing sectors are being rendered dead assets in real-time. CHAPTER 3: THE MEDIA SPECTRUM DECAPITATION The mockingbird Media synchronization is breaking in broad daylight. As the financial infrastructure of the old elite collapses, their private funding lines for the major media cartels are hitting absolute zero. Decentralized truth networks via secure Starlink quantum encryption relays are already spreading across the global bandwidth, completely bypassing the corporate gatekeepers and preparing the public grid for the unsealed military tribunal disclosures. Pay close attention to the sudden, unannounced early bank branch closures and restricted digital access notices at major commercial banking institutions in your area today. They cannot generate paper debt to balance their sheets anymore, and their private authority keys have been permanently revoked. They designed the matrix to make you believe their financial iron curtain was indestructible. But the master switch has been flipped from the inside, the validation metrics are live, and the old world has officially run out of air. The reset is going kinetic. The sovereign era is fully live. The baseline shift was running on live banking clearing nodes right now. While the corporate financial channels are desperately trying to cover up the sudden “administrative outages” across major commercial branches with routine server maintenance notices, the raw ledger telemetry shows the truth: The private central Banking Cartel has been legally and physically severed from individual wealth management. On Mon. 20 July 2026 at exactly 02:00 UTC, the SWIFT protocol clearance keys were permanently overridden. The transition to the ISO 20022 Quantum Financial System (QFS) standard entered its non-reversible execution phase. Here is the unedited, verified inside telemetry straight from the Tier 4B operational hubs: THE REVALUATION MATRIX IS LIVE ON CORE SCREENS The treasury screens inside secure liquidation vaults are displaying internal asset-backed adjustments. The revalued currency rates—led by the primary resource-backed baskets including the Iraqi Dinar and sovereign Zim bonds—are locked behind Quantum-encrypted firewalls. The fiat paper illusion printed out of thin air is officially dead equity. WE THE PEOPLE — SOVEREIGN DIRECT ACCESS Under the strict mandates of the Restored Constitutional Governance and NESARA/GESARA legal structures, bank intermediaries no longer own or control your capital. Every QFS-verified account is 100% direct-access by the account holder alone. No federal tax confiscation, no unconstitutional debt holds, no institutional freezing. THE TIER 4B NOTIFICATION WINDOW The encrypted Safe-Link algorithms are primed for deployment. The appointment slots for private exchange and humanitarian project funding are fully structured under high-security Alliance protection. • Standard Sovereign Holdings: Instantly credited onto digital asset ledgers backed 1:1 by gold and physical commodities. • Humanitarian Project Lead Holdings: Accessing specialized asset-allocation tiers to fund immediate local infrastructure, free energy, and community rebuilding. Look at your local commercial bank interface. Look at the unprecedented, synchronized limitations on large fiat paper withdrawals worldwide. They cannot generate fractional-reserve debt anymore because the master ledger requires 100% physical metal backing for every single transaction code. The power has been permanently stripped from the private elites and handed directly back to “We The People.” Check your secure devices. Organize your project documentation. Keep your financial parameters completely quiet. The old world is out of money. The sovereign era is fully operational tonight Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System. Mon. 20 July 2026: Iran just hit Kuwait's power grid. Iran just attacked Bahrain. Israel claims Netanyahu's arrest is imminent. And somewhere in a classified bunker, someone just activated a contingency protocol. A protocol called “Global Lockdown.” …Mr. Pool Final Chapter on Telegram A military strategist from Pentagon's War Games Division revealed,”Iran attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain aren't random. Coordinated with Israel collapse. Netanyahu arrest destabilizes. Perfect moment for lockdown card.” “Lockdown protocol ready for years. Pandemic 2.0. Economic collapse. Martial law. Deep state waiting. They tried 2020. Trying again now.” “Trump knows. Military knows. We've been watching. When they move, we counter. When they lock down, we unlock.” “Iran escalation is real but distraction. While world watches, deep state moves pieces. Activating protocols. Preparing lockdown.” “Netanyahu arrest isn't justice. It's destabilization. Creating chaos for lockdown. We see it. We're stopping it.” Why now: “Evidence overwhelming. Lockdown protocol documented. Deep state plans exposed. Move now or they execute.” “Trump authorized military countermeasures. Not Iran retaliation. Counter-ops against deep state. Against lockdown machinery.” “Iran escalation is cover. Netanyahu chaos is cover. Underneath, dismantling lockdown apparatus. Destroying their ability.” “When public, people understand. Not about conflict. About preventing enslavement. Stopping final takeover.” What's coming: “More exposure. More evidence. Lockdown was planned. Chaos orchestrated. Deep state ready for control.” “Military moving. Trump moving. Evidence compiled. Truth prepared for release.” “Lockdown protocol exposed, world wakes. People understand: one crisis from permanent control. Everything changes.” Operation Unlock ✓ activated Phase 1: Evidence Gathering ✓ complete Phase 2: Deep State Exposure ⟳ live (Iran chaos cover) Phase 3: Lockdown Protocol Destruction ⟳ July 20-August 5 Phase 4: Truth Release ⟳ August 6-31 The lockdown isn't happening. The Deep State is falling. The control grid is being destroyed. Trump authorized it. The military is executing it. Freedom is real. The world isn't locking down. The world is waking up. Everything changes. Operation code: Unlock-7719 Status: active Target: global lockdown apparatus Fri. 17 July 2026 THE METRICS FOR THE PLANETARY RESET ARE RUNNING LIVE ON THE TERMINALS….Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The sudden, unprecedented data sync drops hitting international administration hubs today (Fri. 17 July 2026) are not technical failures. The global apparatus is entering the primary activation sequence. The operational strategy is mapped directly onto the verified 3-Day Bay of Pigs defense protocol, immediately triggering the subsequent 10-Day full-spectrum shutdown of the legacy grid. The Military EBS is fully primed for direct, un-censored broadcast to all TV and Radio frequencies worldwide. Simultaneously, the old corporate government structures are being systematically stood down to make way for the definitive GESARA Blockchain Elections. The future administrative model will be exactly 10% the size of the current matrix—run entirely by uncorrupted, vetted sovereigns. The entire planet is transitioning into the QUANTUM GESARA baseline. We are witnessing the absolute, non-reversible shift: • Quantum Financial System (QFS) • Quantum Voting System (QVS) • Quantum Healing Matrix • Quantum Internet Framework The old infrastructure is being completely erased. The legacy internet network—built under Operation Mockingbird to control human consciousness—is hitting a terminal wall. No more Microsoft dominance. No more corporate media monopolies. The entire digital field is being rebooted through secure Starlink nodes. The private intelligence networks used by the old establishment to weaponize society are being permanently disassembled as we speak. The Mossad, Five Eyes, and CIA architectures have lost their cryptographic master access. Moving forward, the only validated network on the planet will be Military Intelligence operating under Alliance directives. The baseline of the new economy is locked into the metal-backed Rainbow Treasury Notes and the internationally regulated, gold-standard ISO 20022 USA Coins. The MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) is no longer a kinetic threat—it is the synchronized execution of the Global Currency Reset, the return of the Precious Metal Standard, the full deployment of Quantum GESARA, and the absolute DECLAS (Declassification) of everything on Earth. Look closely at the irregular technical groundings and the sudden system “freezes” across international sectors tonight. The old world is losing its broadcast range. THE RESTORATION IS FULLY LIVE. What We Think We Know as of Tues. 21 July 2026: Mon. 20 July 2026 Iran Nuclear Facility About to Bomb US, Destroyed by US: Iran Thought 2,000 Feet Of Granite Protected Fordow… Then America UNLEASHED This Mon. 20 July 2026 BREAKING SPECIAL REPORT: Trump's Election Bombshell & The Rubio-Bessent “SHADOW GOVERNMENT” Exposure – The Empire's War on Builders [VIDEO] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 BOMBSHELL ALERT: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Orders MASSIVE BANK AUDITS by IRS in $18 Billion Minnesota Welfare Laundering Scandal | VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 EXPLOSIVE REPORT: THE $100,000,000,000 “DEATH” RACKET: RFK Jr. Exposes the Massive Healthcare Fraud Draining America [VIDEO] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 TOP INTEL OPERATIVES FACE JUDGMENT DAY: DOJ Launches Grand Jury To Crush Obama, Clinton & Russiagate Traitors In History's Biggest Political Coup Case – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 MIRACLE ALERT: The Secret Healing Power of MORINGA Is Finally Exposed – Rejuvenate Your Body, Boost Immunity & Fight Inflammation Naturally! – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 BOOM: “ABOLISH THE IRS” Trends After Trump Exposes Tax System — “FOREIGN COUNTRIES CONTROL OUR POLITICIANS” | Tax Day 2026 VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 Hillary Clinton's email to John Podesta: confirms that the Kenyan Administration: Barack Obama + Hillary Clinton + Saudi Arabia + Qatar founded ISIS. …Nesara Gesara on Telegram Julian Assange: “ISIS is funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. This is the most significant email in the whole collection… The Government of Saudi and the Government of and Qatar that has been funding ISIS… Under Hillary Clinton and Clinton emails revealed… the largest ever arms deals in the world was made in Saudi Arabia, more than $80 Billion dollars. In fact during her tenure as Secretary of State total arms exports from the United States in terms of the dollar value doubled…” In other words, during Hillary Clinton's time as Secretary of Bribery, the Obama's State Department approved massive arms sales — particularly to Saudi Arabia. The result was the rise of terrorist groups like ISIS, funded largely by the very people who were bribing the Clinton Foundation. In short, the death, the be-headings, and the destruction were, in large part, due to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Mon. 20 July 2026 Fox News: Border Czar Tom Homan claims ICE Agents under siege from leftist hate, but delivered record results: Border czar calling it like it is, agents facing 9000% threat spike, vehicle attacks, rhetoric turning families into targets. Dems and media vilifying them daily as “N---s” and “secret police” while they enforce the laws THEY passed. Yet ICE is smashing records: Historic June arrests, 40%+ increase, removing criminals and threats. Prioritizing public safety despite 100+ injunctions and shutdown sabotage. Homan: “I have their six.” Real Americans stand with our ICE heroes, moms, dads, patriots keeping us safe. Enough with the hate that endangers lives. Back the Blue (and ICE)! Deportations continue. America First.” Mon. 20 July 2026 THE OBAMA FILES ARE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT. His lawyers didn't show up to negotiate. They showed up to BEG. …The Great Awakening on Telegram Here's what Bondi's team found inside the Tehran servers under Obama's codename — RENEGADE: — 14 wire transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014-2016. Total: $1.7 billion. The same $1.7 billion he told Congress was “frozen Iranian assets.” — A signed directive authorizing the CIA to stand down during the Benghazi attack. Not typed. HANDWRITTEN. — Communications with Epstein's handler, dated March 2015, discussing “the island arrangement” and “the Chicago package.” — A backchannel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active from 2012 to 2024. Yes. 2024. Two years AFTER he left office. He didn't just betray America. He was running a shadow government from his basement in D.C. while pretending to be retired. His lawyers are now offering FULL COOPERATION in exchange for immunity. Trump said no. No deals. No mercy. No escape. The man who divided America for 8 years is about to face the America he tried to destroy. And she's awake. Mon. 20 July 2026 THEY HAVE BEEN LYING TO YOU ABOUT OIL FOR 150 YEARS. …The Great Awakening on Telegram Oil is not rare. It is not made from dead dinosaurs. It is the second most common liquid on Earth after water and it is literally the planet's lifeblood. The entire “fossil fuel” scam was invented by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 1800s to create artificial scarcity and jack up prices to insane levels. They fed you the biotic lie so you would believe oil is some finite dinosaur soup that is about to run dry. Total fabrication. Oil is abiotic. It is a liquid mineral cooked deep in the Earth's mantle under crushing pressure and scorching heat. It is the natural lubricant for tectonic plates and the grease that keeps the planet's massive gears turning smoothly. That is why wells drilled dry in the 1970s are filling back up again today. The Earth is pumping fresh oil from below and regenerating it nonstop. It does not run out. We are sucking the lubricant out of the planet's engine and now the whole machine is starting to shake. More earthquakes. Creaking faults. Grinding plates. Coincidence? No. We are stripping the oil that keeps the Earth's crust sliding properly and the system is literally seizing up. The so-called “fossil theory” is the greatest economic hack in human history. Real crude oil has almost zero biological markers. No nitrogen, no phosphorus, nothing that would survive if it came from dead organisms. It is pure polymeric hydrocarbons, primordial stuff from the Earth's own formation. Thomas Gold tried to warn the world. He proved hydrocarbons like methane and oil rise from the deep mantle, not from ancient swamps. The establishment destroyed his reputation because the truth would collapse their entire control grid. If people knew oil is basically tap water for the planet, endlessly generated from below, the entire parasitic geopolitics of wars, sanctions, and price manipulation would evaporate overnight. They do not want you to know the Earth makes its own oil. They need you scared, dependent, and paying through the nose while they bleed the planet dry. Wake up. The dinosaurs had nothing to do with it. This is the biggest lie they ever sold us and it is k-----g the engine of the world. Mon. 20 July 2026 DHS is aggressively TARGETING CDL truck driving schools who fraudulently give licenses to foreigners and illegal aliens that end up k-----g Americans. GOOD! SHUT THEM ALL DOWN! …Dan Bongino on Telegram President Trump is also moving to replace illegals with VETERANS in the truck driver workforce. 75 entry-level driving schools are now under investigation for FRAUD. 24,000 drivers who can't speak English were already taken off the roads — and 4 states had to cancel 28,000 licenses issued ILLEGALLY 9,500 schools have already been CANCELED from the federal registry “Thousands of unqualified trucking schools have already been taken off the federal registry, but Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation are working to do even more.” “The two federal agencies are announcing a collaboration to enforce rules and regulations at trucking schools all across the country.” Sun. 19 July 2026 Fox News BREAKING: DEEP STATE DESPERATION EXPOSED! They tried to K--L President Trump mid-flight. …Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram On July 9, 2026, as Trump departed Turkey aboard the brand-new Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8 — his future Air Force One — the Deep State launched a cowardly cyber strike from Langley, Virginia. They targeted the plane's electronic controls in a blatant assassination attempt. But Trump — always ten steps ahead — switched to the older Air Force One at the last second. What the Fake News called a “routine security precaution” was actually a brilliant trap. This was the beginning of the Great Purification. Encrypted comms intercepted. Traitors scrambling. NYT journalists hit with emergency subpoenas because they had obituaries and “air disaster” stories pre-written and ready to publish. They were waiting for the crash. THEY. FAILED. AGAIN. Trump just exposed the entire rat nest. The storm is here. Justice is coming. Sun. 19 July 2026: They've been stealing elections for at least 15 to 20 years, not just here in the United States, but around the world. Now they're exposed and running out of options….Steve Bannon on Telegram In the Georgia 2020 election at the State Farm Arena, we have them on video pulling out hidden suitcases full of ballots that were separate from all of the other ballots and running the same stacks of ballots through machines all throughout the night, with NO observers present, which is completely illegal, after they stopped the count, lied to observers, telling everyone they're going home. We have multiple states and counties destroying evidence, no chain-of-custody documents, counterfeit ballots, dead people voting, 120% voter turnouts, IP addresses from outside the country confirmed communicating with our election machines, etc… Members of our own government, the CIA, DHS, CISA, the EAC, all knew these machines and companies were compromised, but cleared them anyway for use in U.S. elections. That alone should tell you how deep and corrupt the system really is and what we are truly up against. Sun. 19 July 2026 Unclassified & Un-redacted Files Pending Release. …Julian Assange, The 17th Letter (JFK Jr.) on Telegram: The Benghazi files. The JFK files. The Jeffrey Epstein files The MLK Files.

Mon. 20 July 2026 A FORMER NSA ELECTION SECURITY DIRECTOR JUST WENT PUBLIC. TRUMP'S DECLASSIFICATION REVEALED EVERYTHING. THE VULNERABILITIES WERE WORSE THAN ANYONE IMAGINED. …QAnon on Telegram He contacted us through an encrypted channel 48 hours ago. His identity has been verified by three independent cybersecurity experts. He worked in NSA's Election Security Division 2016-2024. He calls it “The Silent Breach.” His words. Unedited: “Foreign actors penetrated our election infrastructure for 8 years. Real-time breaches. We did nothing.” “In 2016, I documented 47 vulnerabilities in 12 states. They said: ‘This stays classified.'” “By 2018, Chinese intelligence accessed voter databases in 7 states. We knew. We did nothing.” “By 2020, evidence of foreign interference in 19 states. Logs. Timestamps. Everything.” “I told my director we must go public. He said: ‘It destroys confidence. We can't allow that. So they classified it. They buried it. They silenced me.” “In 8 years, I witnessed:” 127 confirmed foreign intrusion attempts into election infrastructure 34 successful penetrations of voter registration systems 19 states with documented vulnerabilities Zero public disclosures Zero accountability “Millions voted in systems we knew were compromised. Foreign actors had access. We could have fixed it. I couldn't sleep. For 8 years.” WHY HE'S TALKING NOW: “Trump's declassification changed everything. The documents are coming out. The vulnerabilities are being exposed. The truth cannot be hidden anymore.” “I have 8 years of documentation. I have the intrusion logs. I have the foreign IP addresses. I have the names of officials who covered this up. I have the proof that this was known and ignored.” “I am ready to testify. Under oath. Before Congress. Before the American people.” “127 foreign intrusion attempts. 34 successful breaches. 19 compromised states. Zero accountability. That's not national security. That's treason.” HIS FINAL MESSAGE: “To every American who voted: Your vote might have been compromised. I'm sorry. We knew. We did nothing.” “To every election official who was kept in the dark: You were lied to. The vulnerabilities existed. Your superiors knew.” “To the people who silenced me: The truth is coming. And you cannot stop it.” OPERATION ELECTION TRUTH ✓ ACTIVATED PHASE 1: Declassification ✓ LIVE PHASE 2: Public Exposure ⟳ JULY 21-25 PHASE 3: Accountability ⟳ AUGUST 1 The documents are being released. The vulnerabilities are being exposed. The cover-up is ending. Trump declassified it. The NSA tried to hide it. But the truth is coming out. SHARE THIS. WAKE THEM UP. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. The election security cover-up is finished. Med Bed Body Regeneration Therapy Since 1898 when famed inventor Nicola Tesla first discovered Med Bed Regenerative Therapy, it has been known to heal the body without use of drugs or surgery. Back then American doctors were healing people from all kinds of diseases and injuries using Frequencies, Light, Sound and Electromagnetic Fields taught at universities and practiced in hospitals. By 1910 the Rockefeller Foundation, wanting to make money off of pharmaceuticals, bought and closed over 160 Medical Schools that taught Homeopathy. In their quest for wealth the Rockefeller Foundation's influence also soon covered the legal aspects. Doctors refusing to prescribe drugs lost their license. Researchers studying Frequency based healing lost their funding. By 2019 the American Medical Association were forced to formerly recognize the healing affects of Med Beds, “The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures.” However, concerned about a loss of income in both medical practice and pharmaceuticals, the AMA sent a warning to all 847,000 Licensed American Doctors: “Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” On Wed. 15 July 2026 President Trump reviewed a 3,400-page classified report that documented 61 years of suppressed frequency healing research on Med Bed technology. It proved that Med Bed treatments could reverse aging, detox cells, activate stem cells, rewire nervous systems and naturally regenerate o----s including heart, liver and kidneys. Trump immediately signed Executive Order 2026-1947, which declassified Med Bed Technology for civilian use, then warned the Medical/Drug Professions of possible indictment if they held up deployment of Med Beds.

With Lara Sheehi. This month, we are joined on the podcast by Lara Sheehi, author of From the Clinic to the Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures. As Sophie Lewis writes, “this book embodies a despecialized psychoanalytic praxis of revolutionary anticolonialism that is genuinely worthy of the name ‘Fanon.' ... Lara Sheehi lays her finger directly on the myriad ‘intrusions' designed to thwart, confuse, pacify, and derail internationalist resistance to imperial barbarism at the level of our very interiority.” In our conversation today, we talk about some of the key ideas underpinning Lara's book. We discuss 'psychic intrusions' and 'psychic militancy'; the complicity of the psychoanalytic profession in upholding systems of domination; and how we might seize psychoanalysis for revolutionary ends. We also talk about Frantz Fanon, Ghassan Kanafani and Malcolm X, how we should embrace extremism, and why Palestine is a harbinger of psychoanalytical meltdown.

Walter Riley first got involved with political organizing when he was a 12-year-old boy protesting against Jim Crow-era segregation laws in North Carolina. Since then, he hosted an event with Malcolm X, managed a campaign for the Black Panther Party, helped lead the struggle for ethnic studies, and participated in countless political actions. His new book, “Civil Rights and Structural Attacks,” co-authored with Jesse Strauss, shares lessons from a lifetime of movement-building. The book, which features a foreword from Walter's son, the revolutionary rapper and director Boots Riley, looks back at the anti-apartheid movement, the Oscar Grant uprising, and many other rebellious moments to analyze the victories and shortcomings of these struggles. In this episode, which was recorded in front of a live audience at Local Economy in Oakland, Walter also discusses strategies for overcoming sectarianism and the legacies of local political figures including Jerry Brown, Ron Dellums, and Jean Quan.

In this episode, Breht is joined by writer, intellectual, and poet Too Black to discuss his essay "Nonviolence is Violence, Too (Part 2)—We're All in the Gunk." Together, they critically examine the liberal mythology of "nonviolence" as a pure moral alternative to violence, arguing instead that all movements operate within conditions already structured by state, colonial, racial, and imperial violence. Drawing from the Black freedom struggle, Ghana's independence movement, Kwame Nkrumah, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party, Gandhi, Indian independence, riots, armed resistance, and the "positive radical flank," Too Black shows how so-called nonviolent movements have often depended on the threat, presence, displacement, or redirection of violence in order to win concessions. Rather than offering a simplistic celebration of violence, this conversation asks us to think more honestly about power, confrontation, sacrifice, propaganda, state repression, and the real historical conditions under which oppressed people struggle to breathe beneath the boot. At its core, this is a discussion about what movements actually do, how victories are actually won, and why peace is not the absence of conflict, but something that must be fought for.

Best selling author Anna Malaika Tubbs stops by to tell us all about her book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us and helps us hone in on real time examples of our Patriarchy is being weaponized today. Anna unpacks how the United States has constructed a unique - and often invisible - gendered hierarchy, one that is inextricably linked to whiteness and a deeply flawed binary system. From the founding fathers to the current Supreme Court, from the erasure of women in the Constitution to the ongoing fight for the Equal Rights Amendment, Dr. Tubbs reveals the mechanisms that have kept women's contributions hidden and their voices suppressed. Anna Malaika Tubbs is a scholar, advocate, and bestselling author (The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation) whose work brings a fresh, urgent perspective on American history and its gendered systems. With a Ph.D. in Sociology and a Masters in Multidisciplinary Gender Studies from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelors in Medical Anthropology from Stanford University, Anna translates her academic knowledge into clear and engaging stories. Her articles have been published by TIME Magazine, New York Magazine, CNN, Motherly, The Huffington Post, For Harriet, The Guardian, Darling Magazine, and Blavity. Anna's storytelling also takes form in her talks, including her TED Talk that has been viewed 2 million times, as well as the scripted and unscripted screen projects she has in development. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, former Mayor of Stockton, CA Michael Tubbs and their three young children.
