After years of podding separately in Cardiff, Stirling and London - Chris, Tom and GRO finally get together to record a Nations Pod in person. They look back at the highs and lows of the game in 2025 which included the Lions tour of Australia and the Red Roses lifting the World Cup. How would you sum up the Lions tour? And how do you best describe another tough year for Wales? Tom challenges the guys to pick one word that sums up each nation's year and the tournaments. They also reflect on the big moments and best performances of the year. And no review of the year is complete without a combined team of the year!

Émission originellement diffusée en juillet 2023.Connaissez-vous notre site ? www.lenouvelespritpublic.frUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 9 juin 2023.Avec cette semaine :- Yves Plasseraud, juriste et spécialiste des États baltes.- Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.- François Bujon de l'Estang, ambassadeur de France.- Michel Eltchaninoff, rédacteur en chef du mensuel Philosophie Magazine.LES PAYS BALTESYves Plasseraud, vous êtes juriste et présidez depuis 1996 le Groupement pour le droit des minorités, ONG qui bénéficie d'un statut consultatif auprès des Nations unies, de l'Union européenne et du Conseil de l'Europe. Vous êtes un spécialiste des pays baltes et avez récemment publié deux ouvrages sur cette région du monde, qui regroupe l'Estonie, la Lettonie et la Lituanie. Dans Les pays baltiques - Le pluriculturalisme en héritage, paru en 2020, vous montrez comment l'histoire de ces pays est marquée par la menace constante de puissances impériales comme l'Allemagne ou la Russie, ainsi que par la diversité de leurs peuples et de leurs cultures. Vous avez également consacré, en 2022, un ouvrage aux peuples Germano-Baltes, nés au XIII° siècle des migrations de colons allemands à Riga, l'actuelle capitale de la Lettonie.Les pays baltes regroupent aujourd'hui plus de 6 millions d'habitants et représentent un PIB d'approximativement 120 Mds€. Bordés par la mer Baltique à l'ouest, ils s'étendent sur 175 000 km2 et partagent leurs frontières avec la Russie, la Biélorussie et la Pologne. A mi-chemin entre la Russie et l'Europe de l'Ouest, ils constituent une interface stratégique entre l'Orient et l'Occident, au cœur des enjeux géopolitiques et militaires contemporains.L'héritage soviétique pèse lourd dans ces anciennes Républiques socialistes soviétiques, territoire convoité par la Russie depuis Pierre le Grand pour son ouverture sur la mer Baltique. Avant l'invasion de l'Ukraine, la Fédération de Russie était l'un des principaux partenaires commerciaux de la région. Il lui fournissait également l'essentiel de son approvisionnement en gaz naturel, à hauteur de 42% en Lituanie, de 93% en Estonie et 100% en Lettonie. Les russophones constituent une importante minorité au sein des Pays Baltes et représentent jusqu'à 30% de la population en Lettonie. La mémoire de l'annexion russe, enfin, reste problématique, comme l'illustre la récente loi sur la destruction des monuments soviétiques promulguées par l'Estonie en début d'année.Pour se prémunir des menaces russes, les pays baltes ont choisi l'ancrage à l'Ouest. Ils ont adhéré à l'Union européenne en 2004, marquant la réussite de la transition démocratique et économique accomplie depuis 1991. La même année, les États baltes rejoignent l'OTAN. L'Alliance implante dès 2008 son centre de cyberdéfense à Tallin, à la suite de la cyberattaque de l'Estonie dirigée par le Kremlin une année auparavant. A la suite du sommet de 2016, à Varsovie, des troupes permanentes sont déployées par l'OTAN dans les Pays baltes dès 2017, ainsi que des forces navales et aériennes en mer Baltique.L'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie projette les Pays Baltes au cœur des enjeux de défense du monde occidental. Ces États, qui ont mis en garde l'UE contre la menace russe dès 2004, s'inquiètent d'être les prochaines cibles de Vladimir Poutine. Le corridor de Suwalki, qui permet aux Russes de desservir leur enclave européenne de Kaliningrad par la Biélorussie et comporte depuis 2016 des batteries de missile à capacité nucléaire, est au centre des tensions. Une crise avait même éclaté en juin 2022, à la suite de la décision de la Lituanie de restreindre le transit de marchandises par voie ferrée vers l'enclave russe, en accord avec les sanctions européennes. Dans ce contexte explosif, le prochain sommet de l'OTAN se tiendra en juillet à Vilnius, capitale de la Lituanie. Il y sera notamment question de la mise en place de nouveaux plans de défense pour la région baltique, mais aussi de l'adhésion de la Suède, candidate fortement soutenue par les Etats baltes.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

On Day 7 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria dominated Tunisia in Fez, winning 3-2 after the North Africans staged a late comeback ----------------------- This podcast is brought to you by: www.africasacountry.com The Senegalese paradox: https://africasacountry.com/2025/12/the-senegalese-paradox Follow us on social media: https://twitter.com/AfricanFiveSide https://www.tiktok.com/@african.fiveaside

À la une aujourd'hui : douze photographies marquantes, choisies avec soin par la rédaction de Courrier International. Des images signées des photographes des agences AFP et Reuters, mais aussi du New York Times. La première, celle d'une « jeunesse en colère » prise dans les rues de la capitale du Népal, Katmandou, c'était le 8 septembre dernier. Une jeune femme, cheveux bruns, manifeste les yeux dans l'objectif, un regard en colère et un drapeau népalais derrière le dos. Selon Courrier International, cette photo « symbolise à elle seule la révolte de la génération Z, qui aura marqué les esprits dans de très nombreux pays en 2025 (...) »  Donald Trump aura également marqué l'année 2025. Courrier International a choisi de publier une photo prise la veille de son investiture, le 19 janvier. On y voit le milliardaire républicain rejoindre sur scène le groupe Village People pour une danse pour le moins surprenante. « Depuis, le très disco “YMCA”, longtemps hymne de la communauté gay (même si le groupe s'en défend aujourd'hui), est devenu la bande-son officielle de toutes les sorties de Donald Trump. » explique la légende de la photo. Beaucoup de conflits représentés La guerre en Ukraine a aussi marqué l'année avec une photographie prise à Soumy, ville du nord-est du pays, le 13 avril 2025. « L'Ukraine sous pression » peut-on lire en titre. On y voit un soldat ukrainien épuisé, assis sur des débris, la main tenant sa tête changée à jamais par la guerre. « Le dimanche des Rameaux, deux missiles balistiques ont frappé le centre de Soumy, faisant 34 morts et 80 blessé » explique la légende. C'est l'une des attaques russes les plus meurtrières de l'année. « Gaza, un champ de ruines » est le titre donné à un autre cliché. Sur la photographie on voit un ciel bleu qui contraste avec des bâtiments gris et abîmés. L'un d'eux est en train de tomber, disparaître… avalé par une fumée noire et une poussière opaque. La scène se passe en septembre dernier, dans « le quartier de Tel Al-Hawa, dans le sud-est de la ville de Gaza, (...) après un nouveau bombardement israélien. » explique la légende. « Depuis, les armes se sont tues dans l'enclave palestinienne, mais la trêve reste fragile en attendant le lancement de la phase 2 du plan de Trump, qui prévoit notamment le désarmement du Hamas et le retrait de [l'armée israélienne]. » Le Soudan aussi est représenté par une photo marquante : celle d'un Khartoum défiguré. Sur ce cliché pris le 28 mars 2025, on y voit un soldat soudanais faisant sa prière devant un véhicule blindé incendié. « Cette guerre qui échappe aux radars de l'actualité et qui oppose, depuis avril 2023, les paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) du général Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, dit « Hemeti », aux forces armées soudanaises (FAS), dirigées par le général Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan ». La légende de la photo rappelle que c'est « une guerre qui « provoque “la pire crise humanitaire et de déplacement au monde”, selon l'ONU. Près de 13 millions de personnes ont été déplacées, les maladies se propagent et la famine, confirmée dans dix régions, s'étend. »  Une autre photo, sélectionnée par Courrier international : deux femmes au regard épuisé, les mains autour de leurs enfants dans un bus pour fuir Goma – capitale du Nord Kivu dans l'Est de la RDC. Le cliché est pris « À la frontière, entre la République démocratique du Congo et le Rwanda, le 19 mai 2025. » Ce bus est « affrété par le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés [et] rapatrie des civils rwandais qui fuient les combats autour de Goma, où les rebelles du M23, soutenus par Kigali, font régner la terreur. » Courrier International recontextualise dans la légende : le 4 décembre, le président congolais, Félix Tshisekedi, et son homologue rwandais, Paul Kagame, ont signé à Washington un accord de paix très fragile. Et de fait, moins d'une semaine après, Uvira, deuxième grande ville du Sud-Kivu, tombe face à la pression du M23.  « Au moins 10 000 réfugiés affluent vers le Burundi pour fuir les combats, selon le site burundais “Iwacu”. » Haïti, les manifestations de l'opposition en Turquie sont aussi représentées dans la sélection de photos 2025 de Courrier international. Sur une note un peu plus légère et sportive, on retrouvera aussi du bleu, du blanc, du rouge sur les Champs-Élysées… C'était le 1er juin 2025 avec « le sacre européen des joueurs du Paris Saint-Germain, qui défilent en bus pour présenter leur trophée à leurs supporteurs. La veille, les joueurs de Luis Enrique ont écrasé l'Inter de Milan en finale de la Ligue des champions (5-0), à Munich. Un titre après lequel le club de la capitale courait depuis des années. »  Paris, capitale des espions ? Cette semaine dans l'Express on nous explique pourquoi Paris est surnommée la « capitale des espions ». Il faut dire que le folklore et la culture parisiennes ont été parfaitement intégrés par les services de renseignements du monde entier. On parle par exemple « de la diplomatie des grands hôtels ». Ces palaces parisiens où se déroulent souvent des discussions secrètes, notamment sur la guerre à Gaza. « Les services de renseignements ont intégré les charmes de Paris dans leur programme : tant à la DGSE qu'à la DGSI. (…) Le bateau-mouche, un « grand classique » sourit un ex-agent secret. » La cuisine française plaît aussi beaucoup aux agents des renseignements. Interrogé par l'Express, un ex-patron de la DST confie : « Les espions sont comme tout le monde, ils aiment la gastronomie. Ils ont souvent une préférence pour la cuisine française à l'ancienne. Après ça ils coopèrent tous. » Sur le plan pratique, certaines stations de métro comme La Motte-Picquet Grenell, dans le 15e arrondissement, sont particulièrement appréciées, car elles possèdent beaucoup d'entrées et de sorties, c'est qui est plus simple pour disparaître quand on est suivi, raconte un ancien agent de la CIA. Rivalisation avec d'autres capitales Comment expliquer cet attrait pour Paris chez les espions ? Parmi les raisons exposées, il y a la position géographique de la capitale. Paris est un lieu de choix pour les rendez-vous clandestins : « Si vos sources sont au Moyen-Orient ou en Afrique, leur connexion naturelle vers le reste du monde passe toujours par la France », peut-on lire. Paris rivaliserait à la fois « avec Vienne pour le fortement entre l'Ouest et l'Est, avec Genève pour les tractations dans les palaces, avec Bruxelles pour le renseignement politique et même avec New York L'Unesco est « une couverture de rêve », raconte L'Express. Le magazine explique que l'organisation internationale culturelle basée à Paris abrite de nombreux agents secrets opérant au nez et à la barbe du contre-espionnage français. Toutes les institutions internationales connaissent ce phénomène d'espionnage car « elles facilitent des procédures d'accréditation spécifique. » Par ailleurs, la culture « ça permet d'aller partout, personne ne vérifie ce que vous faites, vous avez du temps libre » raconte un ancien coordonnateur adjoint du renseignement de l'Élysée.  Tout ça est digne d'un roman d'espionnage.

On Day 6 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Egypt scored a previous win against South Africa and Mali held Morocco at home to stay alive in Group A ----------------------- This podcast is brought to you by: www.africasacountry.com Sounds of the Africa Cup of Nations: https://africasacountry.com/2025/12/sounds-of-the-africa-cup-of-nations Follow us on social media: https://twitter.com/AfricanFiveSide https://www.tiktok.com/@african.fiveaside

Reading IIsaiah 62:1-5 For Zion's sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her vindication shines forth like the dawn and her victory like a burning torch. Nations shall behold your vindication, and all the kings your glory; you shall be called by a new name pronounced by the mouth of the LORD. You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem held by your God. No more shall people call you “Forsaken,” or your land “Desolate,” but you shall be called “My Delight,” and your land “Espoused.” For the LORD delights in you and makes your land his spouse. As a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you.Reading IIActs 13:16-17, 22-25When Paul reached Antioch in Pisidia and entered the synagogue,he stood up, motioned with his hand, and said, “Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen.The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in theland of Egypt.With uplifted arm he led them out of it.Then he removed Saul and raised up David as king;of him he testified,‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart;he will carry out my every wish.'From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel; and as John was completing his course, he would say, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he.Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'”GospelMatthew 1:1-25The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.Abraham became the father of Isaac,Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah,whose mother was Tamar.Perez became the father of Hezron,Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab.Amminadab became the father of Nahshon,Nahshon the father of Salmon,Salmon the father of Boaz,whose mother was Rahab.Boaz became the father of Obed,whose mother was Ruth.Obed became the father of Jesse,Jesse the father of David the king.David became the father of Solomon, whose mother had been the wife of Uriah.Solomon became the father of Rehoboam,Rehoboam the father of Abijah,Abijah the father of Asaph.Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat,Jehoshaphat the father of Joram,Joram the father of Uzziah.Uzziah became the father of Jotham,Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh,Manasseh the father of Amos,Amos the father of Josiah.Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothersat the time of the Babylonian exile.After the Babylonian exile,Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,Zerubbabel the father of Abiud.Abiud became the father of Eliakim,Eliakim the father of Azor,Azor the father of Zadok.Zadok became the father of Achim,Achim the father of Eliud, Eliud the father of Eleazar.Eleazar became the father of Matthan,Matthan the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary.Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ.Thus the total number of generationsfrom Abraham to Davidis fourteen generations; from David to the Babylonian exile,fourteen generations; from the Babylonian exile to the Christ,fourteen generations.Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly.Such was his intention when, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”All this took place to fulfillwhat the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.”When Joseph awoke,he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.

What if the most urgent work in a restless nation starts in the hidden room—where no one sees, no one applauds, and God meets us in secret? We open with gratitude and prayer, then trace a straight line from Scripture to the choices shaping families, churches, and civic life right now. The core challenge is unapologetic: treat children as blessings, not accessories; honor covenant marriage as mutual self-giving; and build habits of quiet devotion that anchor public courage.We walk through 1 Corinthians 7 to recover the mutual duties of spouses, a counterweight to isolation and resentment. Then we linger in Matthew 6—give without fanfare, pray behind a closed door, fast without spectacle, and store treasure in heaven rather than bow to money. These practices sharpen conscience and clear the fog of performative religion. Psalm 7 adds a bracing note: God judges with honesty, sees the heart, and turns unjust schemes back on those who devise them. That vision steadies us when headlines churn and trust runs thin.History steps in with texture and weight. We remember Civil War Medal of Honor recipient Richard Bory, a snapshot of courage that reminds us virtue costs. And we revisit Franklin D. Roosevelt's Christmas Eve message from 1941, delivered days after Pearl Harbor, calling America to prepare materially while arming our hearts with prayer, repentance, and resolve. That pairing—readiness and reliance—still fits. Prepare wisely for hard seasons. Trust God for ultimate victory. Encourage each other to keep the Christmas spirit of humility and charity all year.We close with practical encouragements and prayer for families, the persecuted, and those in uniform. If this conversation stirred you to renew private prayer, strengthen your marriage, or welcome life more generously, share it with a friend.

For more than fourteen centuries Islamic terror has spread throughout all civilization. From the rise of Muhammad in the 7th century, through the early jihad conquests, the Battle of Yarmouk, the Ottoman Empire, and into the modern era, the historical record shows an unbroken trajectory of ideological, military, and cultural confrontation.Historian Raymond Ibrahim, this teaching traces the development of jihad as a permanent doctrine within Islam and examines how Christian nations, empires, and cities were repeatedly pressured, harassed, conquered, or forced into submission. Primary sources, Muslim chroniclers, Western historians, and eyewitness accounts—from Byzantine manuscripts to Mark Twain's 19th-century observations, confirm that this was not a series of isolated incidents, but a sustained historical pattern.This is not merely a historical lesson, this is a warning. Scripture mentions the very threat that deception can masquerade as light, and that spiritual battles must be confronted with spiritual authority. History demonstrates what happens when warning signs are ignored. Prayer, discernment, and engagement are not optional; they are essential.Receive the Truth, Recognize the patterns, and exercise prayerful authority. Silence has never stopped spiritual advance. Vigilance, truth, and prayer have always been the answer.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

This week we assess the early stages of the 2025 AFCON, with hosts Morocco making a winning start and good wins too for Senegal, Algeria and Tunisia. We also analyse the controversial decision to hold the Africa Cup of Nations every four years from 2028, rather than every two years.Plus Stuart on the EPL ahead of a busy period.

Après la première journée de cette Coupe d'Afrique des Nations, premier petit bilan avec les grosses nations qui ont toutes répondu présentes. Le niveau global de cette CAN est-il le meilleur ? Est-ce la CAN la plus relevée de l'histoire et la plus difficile à gagner ? Va-t-on avoir une phase finale épique ? Le Maroc joue son deuxième match aujourd'hui face au Mali, sans Romain Saïss, blessé lors du match d'ouverture. Qui doit accompagner Aguerd en défense centrale ? Ce secteur est-il le talon d'Achille des Lions de l'Atlas ? Trouvez-vous Walid Regragui tendu concernant la disponibilité de ses hommes ?

Debrief Maroc - Mali (1-1), deuxième journée de la Coupe d'Afrique des Nations 2025. Le Maroc concède le match nul face aux Maliens et manque l'occasion de se qualifier pour les huitièmes de finale de la Coupe d'Afrique.

As Washington debates policy and power, a deeper crisis continues to be ignored: the mindset of the American people. For decades, cultural and political forces have rewarded comfort over courage, compliance over conviction. The result is a generation conditioned to avoid conflict, defer responsibility, and wait to be led. Nations don’t collapse overnight. They weaken when their people are taught to think small, act cautiously, and fear standing out. America’s decline isn’t rooted in a lack of resources or opportunity, it’s rooted in a loss of backbone. History shows real change never comes from timid leadership. It comes from unapologetic men and women willing to speak plainly, take risks, and absorb the consequences. If America is going to course-correct, it won’t start with another bill or election cycle. It will start when Americans reject weakness, reclaim personal agency, and demand bold leadership that reflects strength, clarity, and conviction. Culture shapes politics — not the other way around. Change the mindset, and the country follows.

Part 2 of a series on the history of Israel based on a fair use and transformative reading of "Israel and the Nations: From the Exodus to the Fall of the Second Temple" (Eerdmans, 1963) by FF Bruce. This episode includes interaction with his chapter II entitled "The Philistines and the Hebrew Monarchy" by Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis, FF Bruce, my intellectual and spiritual grandfather because he mentored my professor Bruce Demarest who studied under FF Bruce at the University of Manchester. This episode includes a reading from Luke 1 and 2 (entire) and part of Chapter 3 starting at verse 23 -- the genealogy of Jesus on Joseph's side back to Adam and to God) in the ESV. It also contains multiple references to Deuteronomy 17. We're going to do a fair use and make a transformative reading of this material.

Light in the Darkness | Christmas Eve ServiceIn this Christmas Eve message, Light in the Darkness, we reflect on the timeless contrast between light and darkness—seen from the very beginning of creation to the birth of Jesus, the Light of the World. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals that even the smallest light pierces the deepest darkness.The Bible uses this image to describe: Nations walking through dark seasons, Personal struggles and, weary hearts. And most importantly, our spiritual reality apart from God. The core problem of the world isn't just hardship—it's the rejection of God and His ways, which leads to brokenness. But because of His great love, God sent His Son to shine light into our spiritual darkness and make a way for salvation.Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world.” His light cannot be overcome, and when we turn to Him, we move from darkness to light, from death to life, and from despair to lasting hope.This Christmas Eve message invites you to reflect, respond, and rejoice in the truth that:The darkness has not won The Light has comeAnd our future is brighter because of Jesus If you're walking through a difficult season or searching for hope this Christmas, this message is for you.

President Joe Biden cared about climate change — and pushed radical environmental policies throughout every agency in his administration. President Donald Trump cares about religious liberty, and as such, is taking care to make his White House policies represent that priority. And it's not just good for America. Nations around the world are benefitting with a White House that tries to press religious freedom into its foreign policy. Matt Faraci with the National Association of Christian Lawmakers talks about the crucial link between religious freedom and a free society.

Empire, Stability, and the Smokescreen of MoralityBy Renaldo C. McKenzieLet us be honest—brutally honest, the way history demands and empire resents.What is unfolding in Venezuela, and across the wider Caribbean basin, has little to do with democracy, human rights, or some sudden moral awakening in Washington. It has everything to do with power—raw, unapologetic, strategic power—and the anxiety that sets in when that power feels challenged.The United States does not intervene because a government is despotic. If that were the case, half the world's strongmen would be facing sanctions before breakfast. The United States intervenes when dominance is threatened—when a small country dares to rearrange its economic loyalties, when it flirts with alternatives, when it whispers to Beijing or Moscow instead of kneeling to Washington.This is not conjecture. This is pattern. Take Venezuela. The hostility toward the Maduro government is not rooted in humanitarian outrage. It is rooted in the fact that Venezuela has chosen to deepen relations with China and Russia—to do business outside the American orbit. That is the unforgivable sin. Everything else—drugs, dictatorship, democracy—is stage dressing.The same script plays across the Caribbean. Jamaica, like many of its neighbors, has welcomed Chinese investment: ports modernized, infrastructure built, capital flowing where Western lenders once stalled. Suddenly, “stability” becomes a concern. Suddenly, sovereignty is suspect. Funny how that works.This is not about policing the world's conscience. It is about preserving a hierarchy. History offers receipts. In Guyana, the United States once supported a government that was neither democratic nor just—one that violently suppressed dissent and oversaw the assassination of revolutionary scholar Walter Rodney. That regime, led by Forbes Burnham, was later found culpable by a commission of inquiry. Yet at the time, it enjoyed American backing. Why? Because it played ball. It served U.S. interests. Morality, apparently, is negotiable.Contrast that with today. Guyana now hosts massive U.S. oil interests, where American corporations extract vast wealth while the Guyanese people receive a fraction. That arrangement is deemed acceptable—commendable, even. But let Guyana decide tomorrow to nationalize its resources, to partner elsewhere, or to rely on itself, and watch how quickly the tone changes. Hypothetical? Hardly. We have seen this movie before.Consider Cuba—decades under embargo, not because it threatens the world, but because it refuses submission. Consider Ukraine, punished by war for seeking stability outside one imperial sphere and into another. When small nations move independently, the ground shakes.The language of “communism” is the oldest smokescreen in the book. It is wheeled out whenever convenient, retired when inconvenient. The real crime is not ideology—it is disobedience.This is the central argument of my forthcoming book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations. Nations do not collapse simply because of internal failure; they are often pushed—cornered by systems designed to ensure that wealth flows upward and outward, never inward, never locally, never freely.And here lies the uncomfortable truth: empire does not require virtue. It requires compliance.Yes, America wants to remain competitive. That desire is not irrational. But competitiveness built on coercion, embargoes, and destabilization is not leadership—it is fear masquerading as strength. And fear, history tells us, is a dangerous policy advisor.The Caribbean must tread carefully. Sovereignty is costly. Independence comes with consequences. But the alternative—permanent subordination dressed up as partnership—is far more expensive in the long run.Renaldo is the Author of Neoliberalism, 2021) and Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations", contributions by Martin Oppenheimer

John explores how modern prophetic leaders such as Cindy Jacobs trace directly back to the numerology-driven theology of William Branham, Gordon Lindsay, and the Voice of Healing movement. The episode unpacks how Jacobs’ 5777 prophecy, her connection to the International Coalition of Apostles, and her political messaging around Donald Trump mirror the same manipulative patterns embedded in early Latter Rain teachings. John explains that these networks merge fortune-telling techniques, authoritarian apostolic structures, and political propaganda into a system designed to influence followers through confusing numerology and claims of divine insight. By tracing Jacobs’ involvement with Christ for the Nations and her reliance on later-rain numerological frameworks, the episode shows how today’s NAR “prophecies” are recycled patterns from Branham-era cult dynamics rather than authentic expressions of biblical prophecy. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branhamVisit the website: https://william-branham.org

Send us a textPrince of PeaceSenior Pastor Keith StewartDecember 7, 2025Peace is what the world longs for—and what our hearts crave most. Yet peace feels elusive. Nations are unsettled. Relationships are strained. And many of us carry an inner restlessness born of regret, fear, or disappointment. Into this chaos, Christmas speaks a powerful word: the Prince of Peace has come. He steps into our broken world, fractured relationships, and anxious hearts to offer a peace unlike anything this world can give. This Sunday, discover the hope and promise found in the Prince of Peace.Discussion Questions 1. Defining peace correctly. The world often defines peace as the absence of conflict, stress, or trouble. How would you describe the kind of peace Jesus offers? In what ways is biblical peace deeper—or more demanding—than the peace we usually want? 2. Peace begins within. Throughout this series, we've seen that Jesus addresses the root of our problems, not just the symptoms. Where do you most experience inner unrest—fear, guilt, anxiety, anger, control, or uncertainty? How does Jesus as the Prince of Peace speak directly into that inner struggle?3. Peace with God before peace in life. Scripture teaches that real peace starts with reconciliation with God. How have you seen attempts to find peace apart from God fall short—in your own life or in the lives of others? What does it mean, practically, to live from a place of peace with God rather than trying to manufacture peace for yourself? 4. Receiving peace vs. maintaining control. We often say we want peace, but we also want control. Where do you sense God inviting you to release control in order to experience His peace? What makes surrender so difficult—even when we know Jesus is trustworthy? 5. Living as people of peace. Jesus doesn't just give peace; He calls His followers to carry peace into a fractured world. In what relationships or environments is God calling you to be a peacemaker right now?What might need to change in your posture, words, or attitudes for that to happen? Bringing the series together. 6. Looking back over the four names — Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace — Which name of Jesus has spoken to you most personally during this series, and why? How would embracing that name reshape the way you live, trust, and face the future?

The Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has been booed at a ceremony in Sydney to remember the fifteen people who died in the Bondi Beach shooting. A minute's silence was held across the nation to mark the time that the attack began, and candles were lit.  Tens of thousands of people gathered at Bondi Beach to pay their respects to those who were killed when two gunmen opened fire on a Jewish celebration a week ago.Also in the programme: The US seizes another oil tanker in the Caribbean; and Morocco prepares for the start of the Africa Cup of Nations.

In this message, Justice and Operations Director Hannah Martha Cohen Banks leads us in discovering Jesus' identity as the light to the nations.
