Podcasts about Muammar Gaddafi

This week, Jemma and Marina are asking: what if politicians actually faced consequences? Not a cosy resignation, not a fat book deal, not a pity gig on GB News - but actual jail time. A girl can dream...Sounds like science fiction if you live in Britain, but elsewhere in the world it's apparently… a thing.In Brazil, Bolsonaro just bagged 27 years in prison for trying to cling to power - proof that karma occasionally gets out of bed. In France, Sarkozy is staring down five years for a Gaddafi-linked corruption scandal (yes, that Gaddafi - the one with the all-female bodyguard squad). And in Nepal? Gen Z set fire to Parliament and voted in a new Prime Minister while ministers literally dangled from rescue helicopters. Meanwhile here in the UK, our big act of rebellion is 100,000 plus raking to the streets to protest the exact things billionaires and think tanks told them to be mad about. Across the pond, Trump has decided Portland is a “war zone” and sent in troops - only to be met with locals posting pictures of rainbow-knitted trees, therapy llamas and burrito joints. So buckle up for another trawl through political carnage: from world leaders in courtrooms, to wannabe despots in helicopters, to Britain's unique ability to turn corruption into a career move.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy claims his court case is politically motivated. He's been sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of criminal conspiracy, relating to illicit funds from the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. He was acquitted of all other charges. Europe correspondent Vincent McAviney told Francesca Rudkin it's unclear whether he will spend the full five years in prison. He says the ruling means Sarkozy will spend time in jail even if he launches an appeal, which he intends to do. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Imagine growing up in a small town in Sicily, dreaming of coming to America to open a restaurant, and surpassing all of your dreams? Chef Salvo Lo Castro did just that, where he began his culinary career at a young age in Sicily and now feeds the world from his NYC Soho restaurant, Casasalvo, considered a truly divine experience for the senses. Perhaps it's because Chef Salvo was formerly the lead chef at the Vatican for Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and now, we can eat like kings, royalty, and the spiritual leaders, too, at his magnificent new eatery. I'm honored to welcome Chef Salvo to our show, sharing not only his experiences in the kitchen, but behind the scenes, too. He's cooked for the likes of Vadimir Putin, the Saudi Royal family, Muammar Gaddafi, Tom Cruise, Robert DeNiro and dozens of other world leaders, presidents, and celebrities. In fact, he's quoted as saying that after a meal, some high-profile guests will surprise him in the kitchen and thank him for a meal well served. Imagine! We'll talk about Chef Salvo's start in the culinary world, and how he ended up cooking at the Vatican after working around the world at top hotels and five-star Michelin restaurants. He says he does not get star-struck, because to him, every guest is treated like family. And no doubt, that's been part of his incredible success, along with his hand-crafted pastas and sauces. Chef Salvo says his ingredients are all fresh or from specialty farms with tradition in mind. He says he combines tradition with taste, and creativity with authenticity. Among his favorite dishes? His mother's meatballs, a recipe he cooks up to this day. For Chef Salvo, owning a restaurant in N.Y. is a dream come true. He first opened three espresso bars in the City which he still checks on each morning before riding down to his restaurant in Soho on his Vespa. He spends 18-hours a day there, which he calls home and his patrons invited guests. No doubt part of his success. We're thrilled to welcome Chef Salvo into our home, particularly with Italian History Month upon us. Please find my full interview with him on all video and audio platforms of #LittleItalyPodcast, #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast, and #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends, too. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here. @realchefsalvolocastro @casasalvonyc @casasalvorestaurant #italianfood #italianchef #italianamerican #littleItaly

On the night of September 11, 2012, a deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. What followed this tragedy was a political storm that raised questions about America's role in the world, established a playbook for weaponizing attention in the age of social media, and ultimately changed the course of U.S. history.Here's a preview of Fiasco: Benghazi, from Slow Burn co-creator Leon Neyfakh, which revisits a political scandal that dominated the latter half of the Obama years and lay the groundwork for the rise of Donald Trump. In this episode, Leon explores how a prison massacre carried out under Libya's long-time dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, set the stage for the Benghazi attack.

Pope Leo will preside over a service of canonisation for the first time today. The ceremony also stands out because of the age of one of those being made a saint; Carlo Acutis, who was British born, was just 15 when he died of leukaemia. We discuss the significance of soon-to-be Saint Carlo Acutis with BBC's Religion Editor Aleem Maqbool. Musa al-Sadr was a hugely influential Lebanese-Iranian Shia cleric. He disappeared on a visit to Libya in 1978, and although there have been persistent rumours that he was killed by the Gaddafi regime, no one has been able to say for sure what happened to him. A new BBC Eye documentary called ‘The Mystery of Musa al-Sadr' may have the answer. We speak to the programme's producer and reporter, Moe Shreif. It has been a long wait - for eight months there has been no archbishop of Canterbury. We are now being told that we will know the name of the next leader of the Church of England and indeed the worldwide Anglican communion by the end of September or early in October. The process of choosing him - or, perhaps, for the first time, her - takes place behind closed doors, but we asked Madeleine Davies of the Church Times to take us through the most-talked about candidates.

Turkey and Italy are working more closely on migration, energy and regional influence as they seek to shape Libya's political future. Both see the North African country as a key shared interest and are moving to consolidate their positions in the conflict-torn but energy-rich eastern Mediterranean. Earlier this month, the leaders of Italy, Turkey and Libya's Government of National Accord (GNA) met in a tripartite summit – the latest sign of growing cooperation between the three Mediterranean nations. “Turkey and Italy have both differing interests, but interests in Libya,” explains international relations professor Huseyin Bagcı of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. “Particularly, the migration issue and illegal human trafficking are big problems for Italy, and most of the people are coming from there [Libya], so they try to prevent the flow of migrants. "But for Turkey, it's more economic. And Libya is very much interested in keeping the relations with both countries.” Turkey and Italy consider teaming up to seek new influence in Africa Migration, legitimacy concerns Turkey is the main backer of Libya's GNA and still provides military assistance, which was decisive in defeating the rival eastern-based forces led by strongman Khalifa Haftar. An uneasy ceasefire holds between the two sides. Libya security analyst Aya Burweilla said Turkey is seeking Italy's support to legitimise the Tripoli government, as questions grow over its democratic record. “What it means for the Tripoli regime is very positive. This is a regime that has dodged elections for years," she says. "Their job was to have democratic elections, and one of their ways to make sure they stay in power was to get foreign sponsors, like Turkey... Now, with this rubber stamp from Meloni in Italy, they can keep the status quo going at the expense of Libyans.” Years of civil war and political chaos have turned Libya into a major hub for people smugglers. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, elected on a pledge to curb irregular migration, sees stability in Libya as key to that goal. “The migration issue has become very, very urgent in general for Europe, but of course for Italy too,” says Alessia Chiriatti of the Institute of International Affairs, a think tank in Rome. Trump and Erdogan grow closer as cooperation on Syria deepens Mediterranean ambitions Chiriatti said Meloni's partnership with Turkey in Libya also reflects broader foreign policy goals. “There is another dimension – I think it's directly related to the fact that Italy and Meloni's government want to play a different role in foreign policy in the Mediterranean space," she says. "Italy is starting to see Africa as a possible partner to invest in … But what is important is that Italy is starting to see itself as a new player, both in the Mediterranean space and in Africa, so in this sense, it could have important cooperation with Turkey.” She points out that both Italy and Turkey share a colonial past in Libya. That legacy, combined with the lure of Libya's vast energy reserves, continues to shape their diplomacy. Ending the split between Libya's rival governments is seen as vital for stability. Moscow's reduced military support for Haftar, as it focuses on its war in Ukraine, is viewed in Ankara as an opening. “Russia is nearly out, and what remains are Turkey and Italy,” says Bagcı. He added that Ankara is making overtures to the eastern authorities through Haftar's son Saddam, a senior figure in the Libyan military. “The son of Haftar is coming very often to Ankara, making talks. It's an indication of potential changes... But how the deal will look like I don't know, we will see later. But it's an indication of potential cooperation, definitely.” Turkey steps into EU defence plans as bloc eyes independence from US Shifting alliances Libya was discussed when Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on Saturday. Sisi backs Haftar's eastern government. Libya had been a source of tension between Turkey and Egypt, but with relations thawing, both say they will work together on the country's future. Turkey's position in Libya is strengthening, says Burweilla. “Saddam is pro-Turkey – there is a huge difference between son and father – and the younger generation is pro-Turkey,” she says. Such support, Burweilla said, stems from Ankara allowing Libyans to seek sanctuary in Turkey from fighting in 2011, when NATO forces led by France and the United Kingdom militarily intervened against Muammar Gaddafi's regime. “I think the Europeans underestimated the political capital that gave Turkey. Turkey is winning the game in Libya,” Burweilla says. She adds that Ankara's rising influence is also due to a shift in tactics towards the east. “What they [Ankara] realised was that you can't conquer the east of Libya by force; they tried and they failed. And the Turkish regime is very much motivated by business... They don't care about anything else, and they've realised they want to make a business," Burweilla says. They've reached out more to the east, and the east, in turn, has realised that if they don't want to be attacked by Turkey and its mercenaries, they need to make peace with Turkey as well.”

From Bolsonaro to Orbán, what drives leaders who reject democratic norms—and what keeps them in power? One Decision hosts Kate McCann and Sir Richard Dealove sit down to explore the makings of an authoritarian leader, including the times Sir Richard met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and former Libyan dictator, Muammar Gaddafi. Later, they speak with historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat about the modern autocrat's playbook, and how tech oligarchs may be helping to shape a new version of authoritarianism from inside the system.

La historia del nacionalismo canario no se entiende sin Antonio Cubillo Ferreira, un personaje muy controvertido que, como otros tantos en la historia de la España reciente, mezcló idealismo y radicalismo hasta rozar el delirio. Nació en la isla de Tenerife, en la ciudad de La Laguna concretamente, en el seno de una familia modesta pero ilustrada. Estudió Derecho, donde se empapó de un ideario de extrema izquierda anticolonial que marcarían el resto de su vida. Con sólo 30 años se exilió en París y poco después se instaló en Argel, donde se puso al servicio del Gobierno del Frente de Liberación Nacional de Ahmed Ben Bella. Argelia era un país recién independizado de Francia tras una larga y sangrienta guerra que se convirtió en su refugio y en la plataforma que empleó para su actividad política. En 1964 fundó en Argel el Movimiento por la Autodeterminación e Independencia del Archipiélago Canario, más conocido por sus siglas MPAIAC, una organización que exigía la independencia de las Canarias arguyendo que se trataba de una colonia. Eso le atrajo muchas simpatías en África. La Organización para la Unidad Africana decidió apoyar su causa ya que, según Cubillo, la identidad canaria no era europea, sino africana por su pasado indígena. El Gobierno argelino le puso los medios para que hiciese llegar su mensaje. Durante años desde Radio Argel presentó un programa llamado La Voz de Canarias en el que, con proclamas incendiarias, describía a España como un rapaz colonizador que explotaba las islas en beneficio propio. Pero el MPAIAC no se limitó a las palabras. En los 70, recurrió a la violencia convirtiéndose en una organización terrorista que atentaba contra aeropuertos, centros comerciales, bancos y edificios públicos. Cubillo lo justificaba como "propaganda armada", un eufemismo para varios atentados que provocaron víctimas mortales directas, pero también indirectas, como el accidente en el aeropuerto de Los Rodeos 1977, en el que dos Boeing 747 desviados a Tenerife colisionaron en la pista porque el MPAIAC había puesto una bomba en el aeropuerto de Las Palmas. El de Los Rodeos es, con 583 muertos, el accidente aéreo más mortífero de la historia. Cubillo siempre negó responsabilidad directa en este accidente, pero su retórica era inequívoca: o independencia o guerra al coste que fuese. Soñaba con una Canarias africana, quizá federada con el Sáhara Occidental, y no dudaba en aliarse con regímenes como el de Gaddafi o el de Castro para financiar su lucha. Se exhibía ante el mundo como el "caudillo canario", un líder carismático que, desde el exilio, dirigía una guerrilla de liberación contra una potencia colonial. El Gobierno español, temeroso de que Cubillo complicase la transición a la democracia, actuó movilizando a los servicios secretos, que atentaron contra él en el exilio. El atentado no consiguió acabar con su vida, pero sí dejarle paralítico. El Estado consiguió desarticular el MPAIAC, pero convirtió a Cubillo en mártir. Años más tarde, en 1985, regresó a España gracias a una amnistía. Fundó el Congreso Nacional de Canarias, un partido independentista cuyo recorrido electoral se demostró nulo. Canarias para entonces ya se había convertido en una comunidad autónoma y recibía anualmente millones de turistas de toda Europa. Convertido en una reliquia de otra época se recicló como comentarista político e incluso recibió una indemnización del Estado por el atentado de Argel. Cuando murió en 2012 su nombre ya prácticamente había sido olvidado por todos salvo por el ala más radical del nacionalismo canario, un movimiento minoritario para quien Cubillo es algo parecido a un héroe. Para hablar de Antonio Cubillo y de como en buena medida inventó el nacionalismo canario nos visita hoy en La ContraHistoria desde Tenerife Carlos Pérez Simancas, nuestro corresponsal en las islas afortunadas.

Have you ever wondered what Africa was like before satellite phones, GPS navigation, and carefully curated safari experiences? Barry Maughan's remarkable journey from Alexandria to South Africa during the tumultuous late 1960s offers a window into a continent few modern travelers will ever experience.Barry's adventure began with a chance encounter that would set the tone for his entire expedition. After meeting an Egyptian general, what could have been a casual exchange blossomed into extraordinary access to Cairo during the War of Attrition. This serendipitous connection – having his VW camper transported by train while being guarded by armed soldiers – illustrates the unexpected kindness that defined his journey through Africa.What makes this story truly exceptional is the historical context. Barry traveled through countries experiencing the early days of independence, navigated borders during the rise of dictators like Idi Amin and Muammar Gaddafi, and witnessed a continent in transition. Without electronic tethers – no phones, no GPS, not even reliable maps – Barry and his family relied on ingenuity, observation, and the goodwill of strangers. When their son Kevin was born in Ethiopia, this blue-eyed, towheaded child became what Barry calls their "goodwill ambassador," opening doors to experiences and connections that might otherwise have remained closed.Throughout our conversation, Barry returns to a fundamental truth discovered on dusty roads and in remote villages: behind cultural differences and diverse circumstances, people share universal desires – safety for their families, enough food on the table, and minimal government interference in their lives. The Africans they met consistently offered help without expectation of payment, whether pushing their vehicle from mud, guiding them across rivers, or simply sharing what little food they had.Barry's book "Beneath the African Sun" captures these experiences not for commercial success but to preserve a legacy of adventure and human connection for future generations. At 84, his definition of adventure remains powerful: "searching for the heretofore unknown" and "not being afraid of what's around the next bend." His journey reminds us that the most meaningful adventures aren't about conquering places but connecting with them – a lesson as relevant today as it was fifty years ago.Check out Barry's website www.barrymaughan.com to learn more about Barry and get a copy of his book, "Beneath the African Sun."Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, its crazy lunatic government will flip out and nuke us all. Watch out for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, those guys are a bunch of maniacal antisemites who want to attack Israelis just because they're Jewish. Oh no, Putin is invading Ukraine completely unprovoked because he's a madman who hates freedom and won't stop until he's conquered all of Europe. China is building up its military because the megalomaniacal Xi Jinping wants to take over the world; all those US military bases surrounding China are just a defensive measure to contain Beijing's insanity. Assad just went nuts one day and started slaughtering his own people out of nowhere. Gaddafi is a sexual sadist who's giving Viagra to his troops to help them commit mass rapes in Libya. Saddam Hussein is so crazy and evil he's trying to obtain weapons of mass destruction to give Americans another 9/11. The North Koreans used to be far too insane to be allowed to have nuclear weapons because they'd nuke San Francisco immediately, but after they obtained nuclear weapons they were miraculously cured of this rare psychological disorder. The stories of the western empire ask us to believe that everyone who finds themselves in the imperial crosshairs is an irrational actor whose loony behavior can only be attributed to some uncontrollable defect within their own minds, or who will soon snap and do something nutty if they are not contained by force. Reading by Tim Foley.

We act like the missiles decide their targets. As if the Hellfire drone strike has free will. But in modern warfare—and in modern narrative warfare—the target isn't a target until someone paints it.Laser-guided munitions don't wake up one day and say, “That guy.” They wait. For a signal. A beam. A blinking beacon hidden under the floorboards. The ordnance doesn't think. It follows.And in our endless info-war of vibes and virality, it's the same. Redditors, TikTok rage reels, MeidasTouch-style echo chambers—those are just the munitions. They're not autonomous. They're reactive. What matters is: Who painted the target?Was it a whisper campaign? A blue-checked influencer who switched lanes? Was it a newsletter, a leak, a leak about a newsletter? Who snuck past the perimeter and aimed the dot?This is the essay.We don't talk enough about the targeting package. The long-range recon patrol who slips behind lines to mark something—someone—as worthy of outrage. Maybe they parachuted in. Maybe they're already embedded. Either way, their job is to illuminate.Then comes the kill chain:Think tank report (intel)Atlantic op-ed (authorization)Twitter thread (delivery)TikTok (warhead)You never even saw the spotter.One day, Trump is the darling of Manhattan media, a beloved caricature. The next, he's worse than Hitler. Bin Laden? Our Cold War asset. Saddam? Our oil-stabilizing friend. Gaddafi? Photographed with Condi Rice's mixtape on his nightstand. Then: all painted. All vaporized.Even Putin was “New Russia” once—mining nickel, flirting with NATO. Now he's an eternal villain, an ex-KGB fascist oligarch. We changed the noun from industrialist to oligarch and thought we'd done analysis.Narrative paints. Facts arrive later.Ask yourself: Why wasn't Obama painted? Or Biden? Or even Bush, in his second term? Naomi Wolf tried in 2007—she practically screamed “authoritarian creep!”—but her dot never caught the beam.Because the paint has to stick. The actor must be ready. The story must allow it.Trump? He welcomed the role. Signed the casting contract. Took the heel heat and ran with it like it was WrestleMania. “Make America Great Again” was a catchphrase, not a policy. It was kayfabe all the way down. He turned politics into wrestling. But who booked the match?It's tempting to believe these men write their own roles. But come on. This is Stanford/Oxbridge season 6: Global Civics. These leaders come out of the same boarding schools, the same land-grant universities, the same think tanks and G20 mixers.Bad actors are cast. Sometimes they audition. Sometimes they're just… available.And when their arc is up? Witness protection, or a tombstone with a question mark. Epstein. Elvis. Tupac. “Is he dead, or just reassigned?”The script demands turnover.You're not going to understand power through a fascism bingo card. Power doesn't yell its name. It whispers. It points. It paints.So stop obsessing over the missiles. The real question is: Who's behind the brush?The Kill Chain of Public NarrativeThe Fickleness of TargetsTarget Painting Is The Real PowerThe Actor Doesn't Write the ScriptRetire the Checklist, Follow the Laser

President Obama Barack did not seek formal congressional authority to bomb Libya in 2011, nor in January 2017, when he ordered B-2 bombers to strike ISIS targets inside the country, one of his last acts as President.   President Trump has seemingly quelled the concerned of many on the MAGA Right, making certain that last Saturday's strike was a ‘designated, finite' act, and not a pre-requisite for a protracted ground invasion, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”   “They have concerns that this "America First," MAGA agenda does not want to get into optional wars in the Middle East. But this is not a 1991 preliminary to an invasion, 2003 preliminary to invasion, 2011 preliminary to Gaddafi regime change. This was a designated, finite act. And now it's over with and it's up to Iran to do what it wants. It can either negotiate and become a peaceful presence with peaceful nuclear power or it can continue its terror. But it has no terrorist appendages to hurt us, really. And we'll see.”   

Now we know why the Trump administration was declared the “peace presidency,” because those optics were necessary to escalate global conflict to emergency levels as part of a larger agenda that involved regime change in Iran. From the July, 2024, assassination optics, to the head of Palantir saying the next month in August that the US will fight a 3-front war against Russia, China, and Iran, to the second assassination attempt in September of that year, to the $100-million Mariam Adelson gave Trump beginning in July, it was all part of a build up that culminated in OpenAI winning a $200 million defense contract and Palantir obtaining a $1.3 billion contract from the Pentagon just weeks before the Israeli attack. Now we have learned that despite what American spies said, or US Agencies, or the Director of National Intelligence, or what even the misquoted IAEA said - “no credible indications of ongoing, undeclared structured nuclear programme” in Iran - that Palantir's MOSAIC counterinsurgency-AI was responsible for the Israeli attack, and now the American attack on June 21, 2025. This technology was also employed in Ukraine and Gaza, and is set to be used in the United States. Pretty convenient what Karp had predicted back in August, 2024. It's also pretty convenient that a largely Jewish company had the evidence to justify initial and future attacks that produce, if there wasn't before, a threat and an enemy.Palantir, OpenAI and Meta have also had executives appointed to the US military by the Trump administration in recent days.What's even more telling is that the attack on Iran by US forces occurred the summer solstice, a three day festival historically, and on a waning moon, the phase of Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft and the underworld, to help protect the B-2 bombers. This plays well with the Israel attack on Friday 13 at 3:30am, the witching hour, and the Jewish holidays that corespondent to the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Libya. The initial Israel attack also occurred with Mars, god of war, in Leo, the lion, corresponding with both astrology and the biblical lion as the operation was called Rising Lion. The Summer solstice also aligns with the story of Samson and his solar hair, itself used as the name of Israel's not-so-secret nuclear weapons plan to destroy the world before the government falls. October 7, 2001, was the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, and the day the Bush administration initiated operations in Afghanistan; March 20, 2003 was the Jewish holiday of Purim, and the day Operation Iraqi Freedom began with preemptive airstrikes on a country that did not posses WMDs; October 20, 2011 was the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, and day Libya was officially overthrown with the death of Muammar Gaddafi; September 22, 2014, was the first day of Rosh Hashanah, and also the day the U.S. officially intervened in Syria against ISIS under Operation Inherent Resolve; October 7, 2023, the date when Israel allowed Hamas to attack them giving rise to the current onslaught, was also a celebration of Shemini Atzeret and a transition of Saturn “returns” through Pisces.Few stop to question the rhetoric of “Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear bomb,” or “but they chant death to America.” Israel can have secret bombs with no international inspections, though, and the only reasoning given why Iran can't is they would destroy Tel Aviv and maybe an American city because they hate Americans. But you do not need such a bomb to do that, as hypersonic missile have demonstrated in Tel Aviv. And, of course, just like the burning of Bush effigies in Iraq what is the reasoning for this blind hatred. Depending on the context, it varies, but the most recent case of this occurred when the Iranian parliament burned an American flag in protest of the US being pulled out of the “Iran deal” for it being too lenient, i.e., no regime change as far as Israel was concerned. And now we are at war again, based off of WMDs 2.0, i.e., AI algorithms predicting nuclear bombs like we have been sold since 1984 at least when the program was “entering its final stages.” In iconic Orwell fashion, too, Trump referred to entering the war that Israel started as “THE TIME FOR PEACE” - WAR IS PEACE. Virtually his entire base, and even political opponents, are finding justifications for the war as to not lose face, too, another version of IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. An administration of peace cannot threaten countries that want peace, countries that want to try war criminals, and refuse to agree to any kind of peace plan. And we also know that Benjamin Netanyahu was and remains under investigation in his own country for criminal charges ranging from obtaining and leaking top secret documents, protocol tampering, and blackmail, all things shelved on October 7, 2023. Now a few days before the attack on Iran, cross-examination of Netanyahu was about tog begin.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

A Personal History of Regime Change, Memory, and the Myth of America the LiberatorI'm against regime change—whether it comes by bombs, drones, NGOs, IMF leverage, or the velvet glove of democracy promotion. I oppose it when it's loud and violent. I oppose it when it's sly and nudged. Be it the softish regime change of Ukraine or the hard ones in Syria (won't work), Libya (yikes), Afghanistan (nope), and Iraq (yikes!), it all feels like one coherent doctrine masquerading as a series of noble mistakes.Remember General Wesley Clark? He said there was a plan to take down seven countries in five years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. It wasn't a theory—it was a blueprint. Not for democracy, but for collapse. A strategy of managed entropy. A doctrine of rubbleization.Let me take a stand. Not a shrug. A belief.Saddam Hussein was the hero of the Iraq War. His sons were monsters, his regime brutal—but Iraq was sovereign. It had schools, water, food, borders, pride. And he held it together. With force? Sure. But what else binds together a British-imposed puzzle of tribes and sects?The West loved Saddam in the ‘80s. He was a darling of the CIA. Then we turned. We shattered his country. Turned it into a sandbox of sectarianism, contractor enrichment, and nation-building cosplay. And we call that a lesson. No—it was a murder.Same with Gaddafi. Libya had free education, clean water, infrastructure, a plan for a pan-African currency. So we blew it up. Laughed when he was dragged through the dirt. The result? Slave markets, chaos, warlords. We still call it liberation.Afghanistan? We armed the mujahideen. They were the good guys then. Then we invaded, stayed for twenty years, and left in the night. The Taliban returned before we even finished packing.Yemen. Syria. Venezuela. Cuba. We starve with sanctions, destabilize, demonize. Obedience, not order. Broken states are easier to manage than proud ones.And yes, we provoked the war in Ukraine. We pushed and prodded until Russia, who made clear Ukraine was a red line, reacted. I believe the 2014 Maidan movement was regime change theater. Ukraine isn't sovereign now—it's a proxy battlefield.But here's where belief becomes memory. I lived in Berlin once. I was 37. A 19-year-old Iranian girl was in my German class. She was luminous—black hair, brown eyes, a brilliant smile. She told me stories of rooftop sunbathing in Tehran, dodging morality police. Gave me her Yahoo email. She made Iran real.Until then, Iran to me was just “Death to America.” But she reminded me: Iran is human. Beautiful, joyous, mischief-filled, proud. The demonization is part of the war. First you make a place evil. Then you make it rubble.The devil you know is often better than the devil you invent. The Middle East doesn't need surgery. It needs distance. These are not fragile people. They endure. They adapt. They remember.Every time we try to liberate a country from itself, we make it worse. Our “liberation” is strategy. Business. Empire in a friendlier font.I'm not hedging. I believe we are often the villain. I believe memory—especially memory of joy, of that girl in Berlin—is the antidote to propaganda.This is the record. And I'm keeping it.

When a bomb goes off on a south Florida street, it bears all the hallmarks of a Cuban expert. Castroland is going international. As exiles flock to Miami, Fidel sets off on a globe-trotting mission - meeting Colonel Gaddafi in Libya and dispatching troops to Angola. But back at home, not everything is rosy. And when a bus driver rams his vehicle through the gates of an embassy, Castro will encounter a problem unlike any he's ever faced before… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit zeteo.comSince the launch of ‘We're Not Kidding', Mehdi has sat down with some of the most multi-talented multi-hyphenates working in entertainment and media. But few wear as many caps as this week's guest co-host, Yasmin Elhady — a Libyan-Egyptian-American standup comedian, lawyer, and co-host of the popular Hulu TV series ‘Muslim Matchmaker'. But before she was a famous TV host, Yasmin tells Mehdi about her experience as a Muslim immigrant growing up in Alabama and the bullying she encountered.Mehdi and Yasmin also discuss the ways in which Muslim representation in American culture has gotten better over the last several decades, but how there's still room for improvement. As the co-host of the TV series ‘Muslim Matchmaker', Yasmin tells Mehdi how important getting the opportunity to show a different side of Muslim life meant to her. Yasmin also explains to Mehdi why she chose the dual path of lawyer and comedian, how her matchmaking career began with finding a wife for her brother, why she thinks Colonel Gaddafi was the “gayest dictator who's not gay” and whether Mehdi bears a resemblance to the 1980s-era McDonald's mascot, The Hamburglar. SUBSCRIBE TO ZETEO TO SUPPORT INDEPENDENT AND UNFILTERED JOURNALISM: https://zeteo.com/subscribeWATCH, LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE TO ‘WE'RE NOT KIDDING' ON SUBSTACK: https://zeteo.com/s/were-not-kidding-with-mehdi-and-friendsFIND ZETEO:Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeteo_newsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeteonewsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zeteonewsFIND MEHDI:Substack: https://substack.com/@mehdirhasanTwitter: https://twitter.com/@mehdirhasanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/@mehdirhasanTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mehdirhasanFIND YASMIN:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yasminelhahahady/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yasmin_elhadyCREDITS:Hosted by: Mehdi HasanGuest Host: Yasmin ElhadyExecutive Producer: Kiran AlviSenior Producer and Editor: Frank CappelloMusic: Andy ClausenDesign: Alicia TatoneMix Engineer: Valentino RiveraTitle Animation: Ehsaan Mesghali

Why has Libya fallen apart since 2011? The world has largely given up trying to understand how the revolution that toppled Muammar Gaddafi has left the country a failed state and a major security headache for Europe. Gaddafi's police state has been replaced by yet another dictatorship, amidst a complex conflict of myriad armed groups, Islamists, tribes, towns and secularists. What happened? One of few foreign journalists to have lived in post-revolution Tripoli, Ulf Laessing has unique insight into the violent nature of post-Gaddafi politics. Confronting threats from media-hostile militias and jihadi kidnappings, in a world where diplomats retreat to their compounds and guns are drawn at government press conferences, Laessing has kept his ear to the ground and won the trust of many key players. Understanding Libya Since Gaddafi is an original blend of personal anecdote and nuanced Libyan history. It offers a much-needed diagnosis of why war has erupted over a desert nation of just 6 million, and of how the country blessed with Africa's greatest energy reserves has been reduced to state collapse.

In this week's One Decision In Brief, hosts Kate McCann and Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of Britain's MI6, sit down to discuss President Donald Trump's diplomatic style in recent meetings with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and how world leaders should prepare for an Oval Office visit with the American president. They also discuss the state of Russia's economy and ending the Ukraine war. Plus, Sir Richard reflects on the unique gifts given to him by various foreign leaders including Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi during his tenure as ‘C' of Britain's secret intelligence service. Episode produced by Situation Room Studios. Original music composed and produced by Leo Sidran.

Marcel Dirsus is fascinated by the treadmill of tyranny: how dictators gain power, how they stay there and how they fall. This is his blueprint for bringing an end to authoritarianism.With democracies seemingly faltering worldwide, political scientist and writer Marcel Dirsus is putting tyrants under the microscope to better understand how they rise and how they fall.Years ago, Marcel took a break from his university studies and travelled to central Africa, where he took a job in a brewery.One day, while walking to work, he heard shots fired and an explosion in the distance as the military was launching a coup.The experience terrified him, and drew him into a study of tyrants — the dictators and despots who make life miserable for so many people on the planet.While they project an image of strength, guarded on all sides, and surrounded by people who do their bidding, Marcel says they live in fear.For the road to power is often flanked by the road to revolution.These men know a mass uprising, an assassination, a mutiny or a foreign invasion could end their reign at any moment, and who, or what will take their place?In investigating the long history of tyrannical leaders, however, Marcel has found a renewed optimism for Western Democracy.How Tyrants Fall: And How Nations Survive is published by Hachette Australia.Marcel is appearing at the Sydney Writers' Festival on Friday 23 May.This episode of Conversations explores Putin, Xi Jinping, China, CCP, Russia, Trump, global politics, dictatorships, democracy, voting rights, election results, the new world order, Stalin, Hitler, famous leaders, Churchill, politics, books, writing, history, war, civil war, Africa, USSR, Elon Musk, Gaddafi, golden gun, torture, Libya, Syria, control, Machiavelli, monarchs, Al-Ghazali, East Germany, Congo, academia, what to study at university, coup, the elite, power systems, Cold War, Bashar al-Assad, Ukraine, surveillance, Roman Empire.

Kurt Weldon and Tony Schaffer expose buried 9/11 intel, CIA payroll ties to terrorists, deleted data, and Halliburton deals with Gaddafi during U.S. sanctions. With billions missing and pre-attack warnings ignored, they call for a new 9/11 commission—without politicians or cover-ups.

Recorded On May 5th, 2025 The Carl Nelson Show covers a range of critical issues, starting with the aftermath of devastating fires in Pasadena and Altadena. Highlights include the quick restoration of power in the region, debris clearance efforts, and the challenges involved. Residents face a choice between using Los Angeles County’s debris removal services or hiring private contractors, though delays or high costs could result in property liens. The dangers associated with hazardous materials, particularly heavy metals seeping into water tables, are also emphasized. Some residents are sifting through debris themselves, fully equipped with hazmat suits, while FEMA and LA County continue to assist in the recovery process at a slower than normal pace. The discussion shifts to supply chain disruptions impacting essential goods like medical supplies and auto parts, which has slowed to one-third of its usual operation. Transitions into political commentary address Marco Rubio consolidating dual roles in government, raising legal and ethical concerns about officials holding multiple positions. Internationally, the show reflects on Libya in the 1980s, discussing US airstrikes against Gaddafi, his focus on an independent African currency, and broader geopolitical implications. Attention is also drawn to Burkina Faso’s transformation under Thomas Sankara, changing from Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, meaning “land of upright men.” The country’s move toward controlling and leveraging its gold, oil, and other resources signals a shift in the global chessboard that warrants attention. The program provides a compelling mix of local crises, political analysis, and global developments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season 8, Episode 3 | In this episode, we're joined by the remarkable Suzanne Spaulding, a Senior Advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), where she founded the Defending Democratic Institutions Project. With a career that spans critical roles across the intelligence and national security landscape—including Legal Advisor at the CIA's Nonproliferation Center, Chief Counsel to both the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, Executive Director of major Congressional Commissions, and member of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission—Suzanne brings a wealth of insight, wit, and candid reflection.She shares stories from a life spent at the intersection of law, policy, and global security, including unforgettable moments like meeting Gaddafi, leading bipartisan efforts in Congress, and, yes, doing the hokey pokey and singing kumbaya with the KGB. Importantly, we talk about the next generation—how efforts like Girl Security are helping to inspire and prepare young women to lead in national security and public service. It's a conversation that's as thought-provoking as it is delightfully unexpected.Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, stories, and a few good laughs.

Trump 2.0 is showing so little concern for his political standing that even Fox made primetime room for Karl Rove to vent about how he's failing at the fundamentals. Our aspiring Gaddafi doesn't care that tariffs aren't popular or that he sounds like Mr. Scrooge when he says kids should have fewer toys. And while belt-tightening is good enough for average Americans, he's throwing himself a giant, ostentatious military parade that will cost tens of millions of dollars. Plus, conservatives in the Anglosphere take another hit, this time down under—and thumbs-up for Maine Gov. Janet Mills, thumbs-down for Gretchen Whitmer.  Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Today's "Morning Shots" Jonathan's recent newsletter on Gretchen Whitmer The Atlantic's recent interview with Trump (gifted)

Amin Gulgee defies easy categorisation: he's a metal sculptor, a curator, and one of Pakistan's most innovative and cherished artists, the beating heart of his home city of Karachi's creative scene. His metalwork is as dramatic and eccentric as Amin is. He's in your face, uncompromising, a living and breathing performance piece.Amin also comes from a prestigious family: his father, Ismail Gulgee, was one of Pakistan's most famous modernists, creating abstract paintings that have been exhibited across the globe, and even sketching heads of state like Reagan and Gaddafi. In 2007, Ismail and Amin's mother Zaro were tragically murdered by their driver. It was Amin who found their bodies, in their house which adjoins his own studio and gallery. Much of Amin's work since has been an attempt to come to terms and heal from this most tragic of events.Presenter Harry Stott meets Amin on location in his Karachi studio-cum-gallery-cum-home, as he prepares to open a new museum of his father's work – the ‘most momentous' thing he has ever attempted. We listen in as Amin shows us the calligraphy adorned doors which he has created for the museum's entrance. We go inside his studio to hear about his creative process more widely. And we hear Amin come to terms with the tragedy of his parents' death and the solace that he finds in his workshop.Amidst the tumult of this momentous museum opening in the already tumultuous city of Karachi, this episode of In the Studio attempts to understand how Amin's two year process of creation, curation and healing will change his creative process for the years to come.Presenter & Producer: Harry Stott Co-producer & Fixer: Adam Fahy-Majeed Exec Producer: Sandra Ferrari Sound Design & Engineering: Alan Leer, Lizzy AndrewsA Message Heard ProductionImage: Amin Gulgee (Credit: Humayun Memon)

It's Friday, February 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 10th anniversary of Muslim beheading of 21 Libyan Christians Saturday was the 10th anniversary of when 21 Christians died for their faith in Libya. Islamic State militants beheaded them on February 15, 2015 for refusing to deny Christ. Most of the believers were Egyptian Coptic Christians. Vicky Hartzler with the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom said, “Today, we remember the 21 young men who were brutally murdered by ISIS solely for being Christian. The U.S. government must continue to be an unrelenting voice against violence that targets religious communities, including Coptic Christians.”  In memory of the 21 Christian martyrs, More Productions released a short, 13-minute animated film last year called “The 21.” You can watch it through a special link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com.  Libya has been in turmoil since 2011 and the overthrow of its then-leader, Col. Muammar Gaddafi. Since then, numerous other militia groups have battled for control. According to Open Doors, Libya is the fourth most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. 74-year-old pro-life woman arrested for praying outside abortion mill Authorities in Scotland arrested a 74-year-old pro-life woman recently for standing silently outside an abortion mill in Glasgow. Rose Docherty was holding a sign that read, “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Officials charged her with violating a new “buffer zone” law that limits activities around abortion mills. It's the first arrest under the law.  The arrest comes days after U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance called out European leaders for violating the religious freedom of pro-lifers.  Kash Patel confirmed as FBI Director In the United States, the U.S. Senate confirmed Kash Patel as FBI Director on February 20th, reports The Epoch Times. PRESIDING OFFICER: “The Yeas are 51; the Nays are 49. The confirmation is confirmed.” Senators voted 51–49 to confirm Patel who gained prominence for exposing alleged FBI and Justice Department malfeasance during the Crossfire Hurricane probe into the Trump campaign. Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for the counterintelligence investigation undertaken by the FBI from July 2016 to May 2017, into links between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia. Republican Senators  Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine crossed the aisle to join Democrats in voting against Patel's nomination. Surprisingly, GOP Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky supported Trump's nominee. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, age 91, serves as the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Before the vote was cast, he made this last-minute appeal. GRASSLEY: “Mr. Patel has spent his whole career fighting for righteous causes. He's been a public defender, representing the accused against the power of the state. He's been a congressional staffer, investigating the partisan weaponization of our legal system. And he served in key national security roles, protecting Americans from foreign enemies. He's received support from former FBI agents, former federal and state prosecutors, and organizations representing more than 680,000 law enforcement officers. “But Mr. Patel's resume, his accomplishments, aren't why he's the best person for this job. Mr. Patel should be considered our next FBI director because the FBI has been infected by political bias and weaponized against the American people. Mr. Patel knows it. Mr. Patel exposed it. I've got plenty of examples to show what's wrong with the FBI.” Kash Patel wrote the 2024 book entitled, Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy. Military chaplain fired for citing Romans 1 in sermon A Veterans Affairs chaplain is fighting for his religious freedom.  Rusty Trubey served as a chaplain at the Coatesville Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Pennsylvania. However, Veterans Affairs removed him from his duties for preaching a sermon from Romans 1. The sermon was entitled, “When a Culture Excludes God,” and included homosexuality as an example.  First Liberty Institute and the Independence Law Center are representing Trubey. Last week, they sent a letter to Douglas Collins, the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The letter noted, “This is a systemic problem. We know that you will do the right thing to correct not only the unconstitutional policies at the Coatesville Facility, but also throughout our [Veterans Affairs] system.” 2 Timothy 4:2 says, “Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” U.S. poll: Only 40% believe in God of Bible; 4% have Biblical worldview Dr. George Barna released his latest American Worldview Inventory report. The study found that 46% of Americans agree that there is only one Supreme Spiritual Being who created and rules everything in existence. That number rose to 60% among self-identified Christians.  Dr. Barna noted many have a mix-and-match approach to faith: “The latest research finds that while two-thirds of Americans identify as Christian, only 4% hold a Biblical worldview. Even more alarming, just 40% believe in the God of the Bible, down from 73% three decades ago. Instead, Syncretism—blending elements from multiple worldviews—has become the dominant perspective.” Joshua 24:15 says, “But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Meta plans to build 30,000-mile-long sub-sea cable And finally, Meta announced last week it is building the world's largest sub-sea cable. The tech giant is known for its social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.  Under its new plan called Project Waterworth, it will bring industry-leading connectivity around the world. The cable will connect five major continents and measure over 30,000 miles. That's more than the earth's entire circumference! Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, February 21st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com. And now to close the newscast is my youngest child, Valor Tyndale McManus, who is turning 10 today. He's finally hit the double digits! Seize the day for Jesus Christ. (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

The former French president Nicholas Sarkozy has gone on trial today in Paris. He is accused of illegally taking funding from the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Prosecutors allege the men struck a deal to fund Mr Sarkozy's ultimately successful campaign for the presidency in 2007. In return, they say he promised to help Colonel Gaddafi shed his pariah status on the world stage. The former French president denies the accusations.Also in the programme: Hamas has released a list of 34 hostages that it says it is willing to release in the first stage of a potential ceasefire agreement with Israel. We speak to the daughter of one of those on the list; and the efforts to save the endangered Iberian Lynx in Portugal and Spain.

Remember right before the 2020 election when CNN host Brian Stelter ran a lengthy segment explaining how the Hunter Biden laptop story was a big hoax, obviously generated in a conspiratorial manner by GOP partisans, likely in cahoots with Russia? Well, that makes one of you, since Brian himself claims it never happened. Except it did, which means that Brian Stelter is lying today about not having lied in the past. Quite the impressive tangle of lies — no wonder CNN has hired Stelter back after letting him go a couple of years ago. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Stelter is himself guilty of everything he accuses Republicans of doing. Plus segments on former Obama administration official Van Jones admitting that Donald Trump is smarter than Democrats, footage of assassinated Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi predicting the demise of Syria, and Dr. Casey Means testifying about all the critical health information that is routinely left out of medical school training. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

In the 10th episode of “Notes on a Native Son,” host Razia Iqbal sits down with writer and former architect Hisham Matar. He won the Pulitzer Prize for his profound and painful memoir, “The Return,” which chronicles his return to Libya after the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi. Gaddafi had his father Jaballa kidnapped and thrown into jail, never to be seen again. This has haunted Matar's life and work, an overshadowing that he has transformed into books of extraordinary power and beauty.For this episode, Matar speaks with Iqbal about one of Baldwin's profound television appearances in which Baldwin breaks down the foundational flaws of America's racial hierarchy. Matar says Baldwin's calm and patient demeanor on the program strengthens his powerful arguments, making it an even more compelling watch.Matar teaches at Barnard College in New York. His first novel was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and his third novel was longlisted for the same prize. Tell us what you think. We're @noteswithkai on Instagram and X (Twitter).
