President Trump posted on social media that the US was getting very close to meeting its objectives in Iran. Earlier he told reporters he didn't want a ceasefire. The BBC's US partner, CBS, has reported that US military officials are making detailed preparations for the possibility of deploying ground troops in Iran. Also: we hear from the journalist in Israel who's been pressured by online gamblers to change a story; why social media is awash with chat about how thin everyone was at the Oscars - and it's not just about the women; and the new research which calls into question the march south by English troops, ordered by King Harold, to face the Norman invasion in the famous Battle of Hastings in 1066.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

On this week's On the Media, hear how the Pentagon is cracking down on its publication, Stars and Stripes. Plus, fake AI images of the Iran war are proliferating, and they're getting more convincing. [01:00] Host Micah Loewinger breaks down the calls from the Trump administration for the media to produce “patriotic” coverage of the war in Iran. Plus, a closer look at the reporting by legacy outlets with journalist Minnah Arshad.  Arshad analyzed The New York Times' early coverage of the war, and found that Iranian victims were underrepresented.

[22:30] Micah speaks with Samantha Gross, the director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at the Brookings Institution, to dissect the developing energy crisis being caused by the disruption of oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz. [37:54] Host Brooke Gladstone talks to Erik Slavin, Editor-in-Chief of Stars and Stripes, the independent, award-winning newspaper that has served the military for roughly a century, about the Pentagon's plan to crack down on their reporting and refocus their content away from “woke distractions.”  Further reading / watching: “First Draft: How the Media Manufactures Consent for War,” by Minnah Arshad and Andrew Perez “How AI Content Detection is Being Weaponized in the Iran War,” by Shirin Anlen and Mahsa Alimardani “The Fake Images of a Real Strike on a School,” by Mahsa Alimardani “Why Iran's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz matters,” by Samantha Gross, Caitlin Talmadge, and Melanie W.

As Donald Trump flings the world into an energy crisis with his war in Iran, his administration is apparently trying to resurrect the ghosts of past environmental catastrophes with deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and an oil pipeline off the coast of California. Rachel Maddow looks at how Donald Trump's fast talk and gaslighting can't change the reality of the mess he has made in the Strait of Hormuz as allies resist his bullying and rivals and opportunists take advantage of him to enrich themselves. Donald Trump's avoidance of accountability or even having to give any real answers on his decision to go to war against Iran may be coming to an end as Senate Democrats are poised to bring the business of the Senate to a grinding halt by forcing a wave of votes on U.S. military action in Iran. Senator Cory Booker talks with Rachel Maddow about Trump's handling of his attack on Iran and the questions Senate Democrats want answered.   And the disaster at the Department of Homeland Security did not end with the firing of Kristi Noem.

The Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, has given his generals and admirals an unusual command: spend money. Lots of it. Quickly. For years, it was the other way around. Canada wore the uniform of a serious NATO ally – while undershooting the alliance's 2% of GDP defence spending target. Now, spurred by what Carney has called a “rupture” in geopolitics, Ottawa is adding billions to hit NATO's target by 31 March 2026 – the end of the fiscal year. Military leaders are scrambling to reverse a culture of frugality and long planning cycles. Parliament's budget watchdog has said the Department of National Defence sometimes struggles to spend the funds it already has. The Conservative defence critic has said the new billions are money “the department won't be able to shovel out the door.” Neal Razzell follows the money to see what changes — and what doesn't — when a military tries to expand at speed. In Quebec, at Canada's main basic training base, he watches the rebuild begin — as recruits and instructors grapple with the limits of time, staff and space. In British Columbia, at the Navy's Pacific headquarters, he asks the commander of Maritime Forces Pacific what “spend fast” can actually fix in a fleet Carney says is less than half operational.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

Most leadership conversations center on the person out front. The one giving the orders. The one standing on the stage.I've always been fascinated by another side of leadership. The people who make the mission possible long before anyone sees the result.In this conversation, Rear Admiral James McNeal and I talk about a career spent supporting complex missions across the Navy. Logistics rarely grabs headlines, yet every operation depends on it. Ships move, teams deploy, and missions succeed because thousands of details line up exactly when they need to.James shares what decades of service taught him about responsibility, preparation, and the discipline required to lead in roles where success often goes unnoticed. We talk about the mindset of reservists, the trust required across teams, and the kind of leadership that holds an entire system together.

While the world focuses on Trump and Iran, Israel is quietly fighting a multi-front war across the Middle East. Tara explains how Israeli operations against Hezbollah, Iranian proxies, and nuclear scientists are preventing a regional explosion—and why their actions are allowing the U.S. to focus on dismantling Iran's core military and energy infrastructure. From intelligence operations to potential U.S. Marines securing Carg Island, this episode breaks down the real strategy unfolding behind the headlines and why this moment could reshape global power, energy markets, and America's role as the world's dominant superpower. SUMMARY In today's episode, Tara highlights the crucial role Israel is playing in the broader conflict with Iran—an effort largely overlooked in media coverage. As U.S. forces strike Iranian infrastructure, Israel is simultaneously engaging Iranian proxies across the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and other militant groups funded by Tehran. Tara explains that without Israel absorbing much of the proxy conflict, the United States could already be fighting wars across multiple countries. Israeli intelligence operations, powered by the renowned Mossad network, have targeted Iranian nuclear scientists, military leaders, and regime operatives while drones hunt down regime shock troops block by block. Meanwhile, attention is turning to the strategic objective of Carg Island, the hub of Iran's oil export infrastructure. Military analysts suggest a limited deployment of 300–500 U.S. Marines could secure the island—effectively collapsing Iran's economic lifeline by cutting off most of its oil exports. Tara warns that while the U.S. and its allies cannot lose militarily, the greatest threat is the court of public opinion. Any American casualties could become a political flashpoint exploited by critics to halt operations before the regime is fully dismantled. Finally, she explores the global implications: weakening China's access to discounted Iranian oil, shifting alliances in the Middle East, pressure on Russia and Europe, unrest in authoritarian states like Cuba and Venezuela, and a potential turning point that could restore America as the undisputed global superpower. KEY TALKING POINTS Israel fighting Iran's proxy forces across multiple countries Hezbollah strikes and potential Israeli ground operations in Lebanon Mossad intelligence enabling targeted strikes on Iranian leadership Iranian nuclear scientists eliminated to prevent proliferation Drone warfare targeting regime shock troops inside Iran Strategic importance of Carg Island to Iran's oil exports Possible deployment of 300–500 U.S. Marines to secure the island Economic collapse risk for Iran if oil distribution is cut off China's weakening influence and internal political purges Global ripple effects: Middle East alliances, Russia, NATO, and energy markets SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB While the world watches Iran, Israel is fighting the war nobody's talking about.

The battle for the Strait of Hormuz could determine the future of global energy—and the outcome of the war with Iran. Tara explains why this strategic chokepoint matters far beyond the Middle East and why Iran's only real path to victory may be political pressure inside the United States. With reports that U.S. Marines could deploy to secure Kharg Island and Iran's missile attacks dropping sharply, Tara breaks down the latest military developments and why analysts say the campaign has been far more successful than critics claim. At the same time, Tara questions media narratives about Iran gaining the “upper hand” while reports suggest the regime's leadership may be incapacitated and its military infrastructure heavily degraded. The real fight now, she argues, is over public opinion—both in America and among global allies whose willingness to stand with the United States could shape the post-war world. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara examines the strategic and political stakes of the conflict with Iran, focusing on the critical importance of the Strait of Hormuz. The narrow waterway serves as one of the world's most vital energy corridors, and Iran has long treated it as leverage against the global economy. Military analysts warn that securing nearby Kharg Island—which handles the overwhelming majority of Iran's oil exports—could effectively cut off Tehran's economic lifeline. Reports suggest the United States may deploy several hundred Marines in a limited operation to secure the island after extensive strikes weakened Iranian defenses. Tara explains why such an operation carries risk, particularly in a political environment where even limited casualties could shift public opinion at home. The episode also explores reports that Iranian missile and drone attacks have dropped significantly and that analysts see little evidence the regime is holding back a hidden arsenal for a final strike. Tara questions media narratives suggesting Iran is gaining the upper hand, noting the uncertainty surrounding the country's leadership after the death of the Ayatollah and reports that his successor may be incapacitated. Beyond the battlefield, Tara argues the conflict is exposing deeper geopolitical tensions. She discusses President Trump's call for international support to secure shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz and suggests the request is as much a test of global alliances as a military necessity. The episode concludes with a broader look at America's strategic position in the world and why the political battle surrounding the war may ultimately prove just as consequential as the military one. KEY TALKING POINTS Why the Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical energy choke points Iran's strategy of using global oil markets as leverage The strategic importance of Kharg Island in the conflict Reports of a potential limited Marine operation to secure the island Declining Iranian missile and drone attacks Questions surrounding Iran's leadership stability The political battle for public opinion in the United States How the conflict could reshape global alliances and energy markets SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB The war with Iran may hinge on one tiny waterway. Tara explains why the Strait of Hormuz—and the fight for Kharg Island—could decide the conflict and reshape global energy.

Now, When people think of the British Army in the age of Napoleon, they usually picture the big stuff - Waterloo. Salamanca. Lines of redcoats smashing French columns.  But that was only part of the story. Because the British Army of this era was not just fighting set-piece battles in Spain and Belgium. It was everywhere. Corsica. Egypt. The Low Countries. Strange little expeditions, half-forgotten raids, awkward amphibious landings, sieges, disasters, and operations that now sit in the shadows of the more famous campaigns. And some of them are extraordinary. In this episode, I'm joined once again by historian Steve Brown - he is a Goliath of British military history of the Napoleonic era and his books are incredible . Today he is digging into three neglected actions: the invasion of Corsica in 1794, the Ostend raid of 1798, and the Fraser expedition to Egypt in 1807. They may be obscure, but they are anything but dull. We've got Horatio Nelson losing the sight in an eye, British troops smashing their objectives and then being wrecked by the weather and Highlanders and Swiss soldiers ending up in Egyptian slave markets. So put the big battles out of your mind for a bit and grab a brew. I started off by asking Steve what made him want to research these obscure corners of the Great War against France.   Buy Steve's books here - https://amzn.to/4rlq6x1  Join my Patreon here - https://www.patreon.com/RedcoatHistory  

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have on the show: MK ULTRA, Satanic Ritual Abuse and Organized abuse survivor, overcomer and warrior, Australia's first whistleblower of government-sponsored child sex trafficking, published writer and author, blogger, and a hero whose voice has set countless victims and survivors free: Fiona Barnett Born into a world tainted by multigenerational trauma, Fiona's nightmare began in childhood, ensnared in Australia's underbelly of elite pedophile rings and occult rituals. Ritually abused by figures including her Nazi grandparents, British Playschool presenter John Hamblin, and CIA-linked psychologists like Antony Kidman (father of actress Nicole Kidman), she endured programming that included hypnosis, psychedelics, rape, waterboarding, sensory deprivation, spinning, and electrocution as part of MK-ULTRA and MK-DELTA.These experiments unfolded in places such as hidden facilities, where she was groomed as a "Candy Girl" child prostitute trafficked to VIPs - including U.S. President Richard Nixon, media mogul Ted Turner, and actress Meryl Streep - and trained as an MK-DELTA child soldier in psychic warfare, involving gruesome acts like cannibalism and ‘the most dangerous game' of human hunting.Fiona's awakening marked a pivotal turn. Over a decade ago, she became the first whistleblower to publicly expose Australia's involvement in this Western military intelligence-coordinated trafficking operation, testifying before the Child Abuse Royal Commission, holding a high-profile Sydney press conference, and submitting complaints to health authorities, NSW Police, and the Australian Federal Police. Her allegations against Antony Kidman led to his placement on suicide watch and mysterious death in Singapore, with altered cause-of-death reports. Undeterred by relentless harassment and defamation, she launched a six-year independent campaign for victim protection and trauma therapy. Blacklisted from mainstream platforms, she turned to alternative media, collaborating on the historically ground-breaking "Candy Girl" documentary, hosting podcasts, publishing articles, and releasing her groundbreaking book Eyes Wide Open for free - an underground classic distributed via David Icke's website, detailing trauma-based mind control, satanic ritual abuse, and global cover-ups without any monetization. Her efforts reintroduced "ritual abuse" into public discourse, influencing Prime Minister Scott Morrison's 2018 national apology to child abuse victims, sparking police taskforces, and leading to convictions of low-level perpetrators.WATCH FIONA'S DOCUMENTARY 'CANDY GIRL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2pAnwTB90gCONNECT WITH FionaWebsite: https://fionabarnett.org/Twitter: https://x.com/TheFionaBarnettCONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

It's been a few days since we last looked at the Persian Gulf crisis, and events are racing forward at such a pace that the only sensible approach is to take a step back and examine the deeper patterns. Behind the headlines about Trump's impulsive decision-making lies a far more consequential story: the moment when a medium-sized power with cheap drones and missiles can hold the world's energy supplies hostage, and the world's sole superpower finds itself with no good options.I begin with the decision-making in Washington—or rather, the absence of it. Trump, advised by Netanyahu and a handful of Fox News personalities, appears to have launched this war on a whim, assuming he could create "media noise" with no thought to an exit strategy. Military planners who understand the region have been overruled. The system of American governance has decayed to the point where a single egotistical hustler can launch the country into a no-win scenario.Why no-win? Because Iran has been preparing for this moment for years. Its arsenal of drones, rockets, missiles, mines, and attack boats makes the safe navigation of the Straits of Hormuz virtually impossible. The idea of an international naval flotilla—Trump's proposed solution—is laughable. You would have to maintain it forever, and Iran would interpret any passage not agreeable to them as a hostile act.I draw a historical parallel: the Dardanelles campaign of 1915. The reason the Allies landed at Gallipoli was because the first attempt to sail through the straits ended in disaster, with British and French ships sunk by shore-based fortifications. The Straits of Hormuz will become exactly that kind of killing zone. It doesn't matter how big your navy is. How many capital ships is America willing to sacrifice for a war Trump started on a whim? How many American lives before the outcry sweeps him from office?The asymmetry of war is changing. Cheap, mass-produced drones—with motorcycle engines and mobile phones for guidance—can overwhelm anti-missile systems like Patriot and THAAD. Aircraft carriers, the symbol of American power for eighty years, may no longer be the tools for enforcing world order that they once were. China has been signalling this for years with its spectacular drone displays over Beijing: "Imagine what we can do if we attach something to them."Then there are the geopolitical consequences. Europe will rapidly rapproche with Russia to access cheap hydrocarbons. The Ukraine war will likely be settled in Russia's favour. The push for renewables will gain a new argument: national security, liberation from Trump's whims. Rachel Reeves, the British Chancellor, has already signalled where the wind is blowing, choosing Ursula von der Leyen over Trump when asked.The special relationship is dying. Suez was a humiliation; this is worse. The British political class is finally waking up to the reality that clinging to America's coat-tails no longer offers protection—only entanglement in unwinnable wars.And then there's Israel. Nuclear-armed, increasingly isolated, and with an American public whose support has reached an all-time low. If America withdraws from the Gulf, what sense does it make to support Israel as Iran's key enemy? But Israel has always reserved the right to act unilaterally. The situation between Iran and Israel is the one that will continue, long after the current crisis resolves—if it resolves.I end with two possible futures: a quick resolution where Trump claims an illusory victory and moves on, or a protracted conflict that drags the world into an endless energy crisis. Either way, the lesson of North Korea has been learned: the only protection against American aggression is a nuclear weapon. Iran will never sign another enrichment treaty.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews. We connect the past to the present.

2. This interview shifts to the aftermath of the Bronze Age collapse, focusing on the resilience of the Assyrians. Cline attributes their survival to strong leadership and redundant systems, such as their enduring military and government structures. While their previous trading partners struggled, the Assyrians adapted by using military force to acquire necessary resources and conducting near-constant warfare. The discussion also covers the complex, shifting relationship between the Assyrians and the Babylonians, who cycled between being allies and enemies. Ultimately, the Neo-Assyrians emerged as the dominant Near Eastern power for several centuries before being superseded by the Neo-Babylonians. (2)

March 15th: Claudia Hoerig (2007) When someone reliable doesn't show up it's an immediate red flag. On March 15th 2007 a dependable and reliable man didn't show up to work and, from the moment his absence was noted, his friend and co-worker knew something was wrong. An instinct that was, unfortunately, absolutely correct.  *Suggested by Natalie Iser on Email* https://www.oxygen.com/snapped/crime-news/how-claudia-hoerig-was-captured-for-murder, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/karl-hoerig-case-a-familys-decade-long-quest-to-get-justice-for-murdered-veteran-48-hours/, https://www.wfmj.com/story/50700458/judge-rejects-appeal-from-woman-convicted-of-murdering-air-force-husband-at-newton-falls-home, https://www.wfmj.com/story/45929416/claudia-hoerig-asks-federal-judge-to-toss-conviction-for-husbands-murder, https://www.tribtoday.com/news/local-news/2022/02/claudia-hoerig-again-seeks-release/, https://www.tribtoday.com/news/local-news/2022/07/hoerig-murder-case-featured-on-ae/, https://www.cleveland19.com/2019/02/08/brazil-native-convicted-killing-military-husband-trumbull-county-sentenced/, https://www.wkbn.com/news/local-news/court-denies-latest-appeal-for-convicted-killer-claudia-hoerig/, https://www.wkbn.com/news/local-news/i-shot-and-he-died-instantly-claudia-hoerig-testifies-in-her-defense/, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brazilian-fugitive-claudia-hoerig-charged-murder-of-american-husband/ Learn more about your ad choices.

1. No Endless War or Ground Occupation Strong emphasis that this is not Iraq or Afghanistan: No large ground invasion No nation-building No long-term occupation Military strategy described as rapid, overwhelming, air-dominant action. Confidence that U.S. casualties will be minimal and duration short. 2. Military Action Against Iran Is Justified as Self-Defense The conflict is framed as a response to 47 years of Iranian aggression, including: Sponsorship of terrorism Killing nearly a thousand Americans Attempted assassinations of U.S. officials Iran is described as an irrational, theocratic death cult, making deterrence unreliable. Nuclear capability in Iran is portrayed as an existential threat to U.S. cities. 3. This Is “America First,” Not a War for Israel Repeated rejection of claims that the war is driven by Israel or Jewish influence. Such claims are labeled dishonest, antisemitic, and propaganda. The stated motivation: protecting American lives and national security. 4. Gas Prices Are a Short-Term Political Weapon Gas price increases are framed as temporary and expected due to Middle East conflict. Democrats are accused of exploiting gas prices the same way they previously focused on egg prices. The speaker argues prices are still lower than under Biden, despite rising from recent lows. Long-term expectation: Iran’s collapse would lower global gas prices. 5. Strong Leadership vs. Weak Appeasement Trump is decisive and feared by adversaries. Obama and Biden are criticized for appeasement and failed nuclear deals. Past diplomatic failures (North Korea, Iran nuclear deal) are cited as evidence diplomacy failed. 6. Harsh Criticism of Tucker Carlson and Isolationists Tucker Carlson is accused of: Spreading anti-American propaganda Echoing Islamist narratives Undermining U.S. troops His statements about unconditional surrender and nuclear escalation are called: False Dangerous Morally grotesque Isolationist conservatives are grouped with progressive Democrats as a shared threat to U.S. foreign policy. 7. Iranian Regime Change Is Seen as Necessary The appointment of a new Iranian leader (son of the former Ayatollah) is rejected. Any continuation of clerical Islamist rule is deemed unacceptable. Regime collapse is framed as the only path to lasting security. 8. Deterrence Fails with Religious Extremism Comparison between North Korea and Iran: North Korea: dangerous but rational Iran: irrational due to religious ideology Argument: Traditional nuclear deterrence does not work with actors who glorify martyrdom. 9. Public Opinion Depends on Duration and Casualties Acknowledgment that support would collapse if: War drags on for years U.S. casualties rise significantly Confidence expressed that this outcome is “near zero.” 10. Closing Shift to Religion and AI Ends with an unexpected, uplifting segment: An AI-generated Christian apologetic is quoted at length. The response argues Christianity is intellectually compelling, historically grounded, and uniquely truthful.
