On 16 July, Turkey marked a decade since the failed coup that shook the nation. Its defeat is widely viewed as the final curtain on military meddling in politics and as the moment when President Erdogan cemented his grip on power, yet the aftershocks for human rights and foreign relations still reverberate. On 16 July, Turkey marked a decade since the failed coup that shook the nation. Its defeat is widely viewed as the final curtain on military meddling in politics and as the moment when President Erdogan cemented his grip on power, yet the aftershocks for human rights and foreign relations still reverberate. A decade ago, factions within the Turkish military, composed of rebellious officers and followers of the Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, launched a dramatic attempt to topple President Erdogan. "I remember, as a soldier, those who started the coup," recalls Murat Aslan, an army officer at the time. "I had no idea that there were members of this organisation (Gulen followers); they were very secretive." Erdogan tightens his grip Now a security analyst at SETA, a pro-government think tank, Aslan describes the failed coup as a turning point that reshaped the course of Turkish democracy. "The message was very clear. Turkish society collectively rejected it," said Aslan. "Thousands took to the streets; that's more than challenging, because you see tanks rolling and people trying to stop them, trying to capture the soldiers with their rifles. It takes more than courage." More than 250 people died resisting the coup. In the aftermath, Erdogan imposed emergency rule and expanded his presidential authority through a sharply contested national referendum. "This military intervention actually consolidated the Erdogan-led government," Aslan added. Turkey's military, relations with US to survive failed coup, ruling party vice-president Hundreds of soldiers and officers faced prosecution as the government declared an end to the army's long history of political interference. Since 1960, the military had orchestrated three coups, the most recent in 1980. A decade of purges and closures In the wake of the failed takeover, tens of thousands were purged from state institutions, many never returning even after being cleared. More than a thousand NGOs were shut down during two years of emergency rule. Milena Buyum, senior Turkey campaigner for Amnesty International, acknowledges the grave threat to democracy posed by the attempted coup: "The state has a responsibility to ensure the safety and security of its citizens and to investigate criminal acts like the ones carried out that night," said Buyum. Turkey's Erdogan warms to Russia after West coup response However, Buyum warns that many of the measures introduced under the state of emergency have since been written into ordinary law, permanently curtailing fundamental freedoms: "The right to freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and association: the impact on civil society was felt very sharply and starkly in the immediate aftermath of the coup, but that impact continues," said Buyum.  Ankara's alliances The failed coup also drove a wedge into Turkey's long-standing alliance with the United States. "Ankara saw the hand of the United States behind the failed coup attempt," claims Ozgur Unluhisarcikli, who leads the Ankara office of the German Marshall Fund. Even before the attempted coup, Erdogan's relations with President Barack Obama had been tense. Obama's belated support, offered only after the coup had failed, fuelled Ankara's suspicions of US complicity, particularly as Washington refused to extradite Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan blamed for orchestrating the plot. Gulen denied the accusation until his death in 2024. Turks in France divided on failed coup Unluhisarcikli observes that US-Turkish relations remained strained for years, while Erdogan gravitated towards Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose rapid show of support stood in sharp contrast to Washington's hesitation. "Putin was among the first leaders, I believe even the first, to extend political support to the elected government in Ankara, and in those days I believe that support mattered greatly to President Erdogan," Unluhisarcikli said. Rumours still persist in Turkey today that Moscow warned Erdogan on the day of the failed coup. Unluhisarcikli says it was only with the election of President Donald Trump, who shared Erdogan's animosity towards Obama and Joe Biden, that US-Turkish relations began to thaw, a shift highlighted at this month's NATO summit in Ankara. Yet the wave of mass arrests during the summit, enabled by post-coup emergency powers, served as a stark reminder that the shadow of the failed takeover still looms over Turkey.

The Scott Trust is the parent company that owns The Guardian Media Group. In 2023, the Trust launched their ‘Legacies of Enslavement Programme', formed to acknowledge that the founder of the Manchester Guardian, John Edward Taylor, and his backers profited from transatlantic enslavement through their business interests in cotton and sugar. Among them was Sir George Philips, co-owner of the Success plantation in Hanover, Jamaica. Links were also identified between Taylor's family business and plantations in the Gullah Geechee region of the US Sea Islands.In response to the findings, the Scott Trust is funding a meaningful long-term programme of awareness-raising and restorative justice.

Donald Trump has this uncanny ability to make Democrats tell on themselves without even trying. Barack Obama just gave us another example.[X] SB - Pres Trump Obama SOBObama recently decided to float the idea that Donald Trump has him "living rent-free" in Trump's head. That's rich. That's like the guy who burned your house down complaining that you keep bringing up the fire. "Kevin, why are you still talking about the arsonist?" Because I'm still rebuilding the kitchen, genius.Obama wants to turn accountability into obsession.Every time Trump has to fix another Obama disaster, somehow Obama translates that into, "See? He can't stop thinking about me."No, Barack. That's called cleaning up after you.If your teenager wrecks the family car, you don't spend six months in the body shop because you're obsessed with your teenager. You spend six months there because he drove it through the living room.Obama wants to frame history as psychology.Trump isn't haunted by Obama. America is still paying Obama's bills.And I have to laugh at the phrase "living rent-free."If anybody would understand rent-free housing, it'd be Democrats. If Obama were living anywhere inside Trump's mind, it'd have to qualify for Section 8. There'd be federal subsidies, three oversight committees, two NGOs, and somehow USAID would still send money overseas.Obama accomplished something remarkable. He convinced millions of Americans that decline was sophistication.[X] SB – DSA in their own words Act from the belly of the beast.

This week, Aebhric is joined by Fred, who has spent almost four and a half years working in military and military-adjacent medicine in Ukraine, primarily on the forward line of troops (FLOT), with additional experience at casualty collection points and stabilisation points. In this episode, he and Aebhric trace how combat casualty care has changed since 2022: evacuation timelines have stretched from minutes to weeks, wounding patterns have shifted as troop formations disperse to avoid drone strikes, and medics on the ground are being asked to deliver prolonged field care (PFC) far beyond their training. The conversation covers current combat wound pack medications, the phase-out of nalbuphine, tramadol's hepatotoxicity risk in dehydrated patients, the training gap between CLS/CMC-qualified providers, and the disease and non-battle injury (DNBI) burden from leptospirosis to Lyme disease to anthrax that frontline medics are managing largely on their own.Chapters00:00 – Introduction and guest welcome01:00 – Four years of medical experience on the Ukrainian front02:00 – How drone warfare has changed casualty patterns03:10 – Evolution of TCCC and prolonged evacuation04:20 – Changes to battlefield medications and analgesia06:00 – Ketamine, morphine and tramadol in prolonged casualty care08:00 – The challenge of prolonged pain management09:15 – Nerve blocks and expanding combat medic skills10:15 – Closing the knowledge gap for frontline medics12:00 – Self-directed learning and educational resources13:15 – Current medical training available in Ukraine15:00 – Could prolonged casualty care become a formal certification?16:00 – A day in the life of a frontline combat medic18:15 – Drone casualty evacuation: promise and limitations20:00 – What knowledge do combat medics really need?22:00 – Disease, dehydration and prolonged field medicine23:20 – Final advice for new austere medical providersEvolving battlefield medicine. Evacuation that once happened within minutes from positions near the front now can take weeks, driven by pervasive drone surveillance and strike capability. Mass casualty incidents near the front line have become less common as units disperse, changing the injury and casualty flow medics have to plan for.Training and knowledge gaps. There's a wide spread in provider background — from Ukrainian feldshers (registered-nurse equivalent) to personnel who completed a seven-day CMC course — all filling the same frontline medic role. Nerve blocks beyond digital blocks aren't commonly taught. Fred argues CMC training was never meant to stand alone; it assumes a prior EMT-level foundation that many providers don't have. Training availability is inconsistent and largely filled by NGOs of varying quality, with NAMT/CLS/CMC certification currently the closest thing to a standard.Evacuation reality on the ground. Getting to a casualty may take hours to days depending on drone "weather windows." Waits of 30–60 days for evacuation are not unheard of. As a result, stabilisation points are increasingly seeing patients who would survive regardless of intervention, rather than the critical mid-triage-category patients medics are most needed for. Ground evacuation drones (UGVs) are seeing real use but only for stable patients, since medics can't manage an airway or maintain a sedated patient during transit; aerial casualty evacuation is currently considered infeasible due to drone threats.Disease and non-battle injury (DNBI). Fred and Aebhric discuss the need for a Ukraine-specific DNBI framework and better environmental/threat updates reaching medics in the field.Closing advice. Fred's advice for new medics, nurses, and physicians entering austere medicine: keep learning and keep developing — people are counting on you to do your job well.

This episode brings together two experts to discuss recent second-round presidential elections in Peru and Colombia: Jo-Marie Burt, a senior fellow at WOLA and professor at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government, and a leading expert on Peru; and Gimena Sánchez-Garzoli, WOLA's Director for the Andes, who maintains close contact with Colombian civil society. Both elections produced razor-thin margins, and both delivered victories to right-wing, populist candidates promising crackdowns on crime and a hard line against their political adversaries. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori won the presidency on her fourth attempt, while in Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella narrowly defeated left-leaning Iván Cepeda. Burt describes Fujimori's ascent as the culmination of years spent consolidating control over Peru's key institutions, like Congress, the constitutional tribunal, and the attorney general's office. She characterizes Fujimori as "singularly motivated, singularly ambitious, and singularly ruthless," shaped by her upbringing under her father Alberto Fujimori's authoritarian government. Burt warns that Fujimori is driven by a desire for revenge against those who helped prosecute and imprison her father, including journalists like Gustavo Gorriti, human rights lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. She details a legislative landscape already tilted toward impunity—amnesty laws shielding police and military, and restrictions crippling NGOs' ability to represent victims. Burt argues Peru has drifted toward a hybrid or even authoritarian regime. Sánchez-Garzoli paints a tense picture in Colombia, where outgoing President Gustavo Petro has refused to recognize the election results, alleging fraud and foreign interference despite institutional findings to the contrary. She notes intervention by the Trump administration and U.S. lawmakers. With the transition suspended and Petro calling supporters into the streets, while armed groups reposition, Sánchez-Garzoli warns of a real risk of political violence. She outlines de la Espriella's "iron fist" agenda: mega-prisons modeled on El Salvador's Nayib Bukele, reviving the controversial ESMAD riot police, and a "special urban defense bloc" that she fears could blur the line between state security and paramilitary activity, echoing Colombia's dark history. "Colombia can't return to the belief that problems can be solved through bullets," she says, paraphrasing Colombian human rights defender Leyner Palacios. The conversation explores the deeper social fractures driving these results: in Peru, divisions of race, class, and region between Lima and the neglected Andean provinces, alongside a "frozen" collective memory of the 1980s-90s internal armed conflict manipulated to smear the left as communist. In Colombia, urban-rural divides also shape perceptions of security and the peace process. Both guests anticipate closer alignment with Washington, though they distinguish ideological affinity from generous funding. Sánchez-Garzoli expects a "total reset" in U.S.-Colombia relations, possible joint operations, and migration cooperation including reports of a plan to facilitate deportations of Colombian asylum seekers. Burt notes U.S. concern over China's growing influence in Peru. Despite the grim outlook, both find grains of hope: in Peru, a tentative opposition alliance and a still-vibrant regional civil society; in Colombia, strong institutions, a diverse Congress, and a resilient press and civil society. The episode closes with a reflection that both presidents-elect, lacking strong bases, face the "Milei challenge" of governing without a coalition.

With the FIFA World Cup entering its final week, we explore how NGOs operating in participating nations can leverage the tournament's spotlight to advance their work. While tournament hype is notoriously fleeting, we break down how NGOs can translate a short-term spike in curiosity into sustained long-term impact. We also discuss our key takeaways from the United Nations' Global Dialogue for AI Governance and the International Telecommunication Union's AI for Good Summit, both of which we covered on the ground in Geneva, Switzerland. From the absence of major AI labs to how lower- and middle-income countries are demanding an equal voice in global tech regulation, we explore why the development sector must stop leaving AI's future to technologists alone. To dig into these stories and others, David Ainsworth sits down with Catherine Cheney and Thomas Cserep for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series. In the sponsored segment of the podcast, hosted in partnership with The Pfizer Foundation, Devex Executive Vice President and Executive Editor Kate Warren speaks with Freddy Nkosi, Senior Director of Global Programs for West and Central Africa & DRC Country Director at VillageReach. They explore how locally-led supply chains and data-informed approaches are helping countries, such as the DRC and Cameroon, address last-mile challenges, supporting efforts to ensure vaccines reach remote and underserved communities when and where they are needed.

For episode 259 of the Crypto Altruists podcast, we're excited to welcome Inès d'Haultfoeuille, Chief Operating Officer of Egregor, a non-profit dedicated to catalysing social and environmental transformations, playing roles that range from accelerator to venture philanthropist and strategic advisor. Their team is truly global, and their work reaches across climate, education, social justice, civic engagement, and more.If you work in the nonprofit or impact space, the last few years have been brutal. Funding is being cut. Donor priorities are shifting, sometimes overnight. Geopolitical instability is reshaping where resources flow and who gets left out. And through all of it, the needs on the ground aren't shrinking. They're growing.We've talked about this on the show before, with organizations working in Ukraine, in Afghanistan, in Tanzania, in Somaliland. The pattern keeps repeating. The people doing the most essential work are often the ones with the least support, the least stability, and the least room to breathe.Egregor was born out of a conviction that social and environmental innovators deserve better than isolation, precarious funding, and systems designed without them. And what I find compelling about their model is where they choose to focus. Rather than just writing cheques, they work to remove the structural, financial, and logistical barriers that stand between an innovator and their vision. Because so often, the bottleneck isn't the idea but everything surrounding it.In today's discussion you'll learn:

Recorded live on the final day of SIAL Canada, this bonus episode of The Food Professor brings hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois face to face with Jacques Duhaime, owner of Duhaime Gourmet — a Quebec fruit-spread and jam company that Sylvain has wanted on the show for years. The conversation traces four generations of agricultural evolution in Saint-Germain, near Drummondville, Quebec, and shows how a small dairy farm became one of Canada's most distinctive low-sugar jam and fruit-spread producers. Jacques walks listeners through the company's origin story: founded in 1945 as a dairy farm by his grandfather, expanded into orchards and vegetables by his father in 1948, and refocused entirely on produce after the dairy herd was sold in 1960. Jacques took over the farm from his parents in 1981, when the operation was running roughly 200 acres of vegetables. A tough vegetable market in 1995 pushed the family toward jam-making, and a pursuit of naturally low-sugar recipes led Jacques back to school at ITA to develop the reduced-sugar techniques that still define the brand today. A pivotal trip with Groupe Export in 2000 opened the door to Japan, where Duhaime Gourmet's low-sugar spreads found immediate demand — at a time when the company already supplied roughly 400 boutique stores across Quebec. The business went on to export to the United States for a decade, supplying jams, spreads, and fruit pairings for cheese, while also building a substantial private-label business across Quebec, Canada, and Japan. Jacques also opens up about the structure of the business today: the orchard remains family-owned and is now run by his son, marking a fifth generation on the land, while the processing side of Duhaime Gourmet was sold roughly a year ago to Bertrand Marquis, a fellow Saint-Germain entrepreneur who previously worked in the wood industry. Jacques reflects candidly on international trade shows — from an early appearance at a golf show in Dubai to lessons learned about race-to-the-bottom pricing in that market — and on how the company's trade show schedule has grown from roughly 10 shows a year before the pandemic to as many as 30–40 today. The episode closes on Duhaime Gourmet's newest product: a 90%-fruit spread sweetened with just 10% organic sugar, containing less than three grams of sugar and no pectin — a launch aimed at diabetics, families, and babies alike, debuting in strawberry rhubarb and headed for Metro shelves soon. A warm, detail-rich conversation for anyone interested in Quebec food manufacturing, family business succession, food innovation, and insights into global trade show strategy in the specialty food sector. https://www.duhaimegourmet.com/en/ About UsDr. Sylvain Charlebois is a Visiting Professor in Food Policy and Distribution at McGill University and a Professor in Food Distribution and Policy in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

Und in Deutschland sorgt eine Reform des Informationsfreiheitsgesetzes für einen Einschnitt in die Pressefreiheit, da künftig nur noch natürliche Personen bei „berechtigtem Interesse“ Akteneinsicht bekommen. Redaktionen, Verlage und NGOs wären als juristische Personen nicht mehr antragsberechtigt. Die Chatkontrolle betrifft unsere privaten Nachrichten, die IFG-Reform den Zugang zu staatlichen Informationen – zusammen werfen sie aber dieselbe Frage auf: Verschiebt sich das Machtverhältnis zwischen Staat und Bürger? - Rolle rückwärts: Das bedeutet das Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz für die Energiewende. Bundestag und Bundesrat haben das Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz verabschiedet, das seinen Vorläufer, das Gebäudeenergiegesetz, in weiten Teilen rückabwickelt. Die seit 2023 geltende Pflicht, neue Heizungen zu mindestens 65 Prozent mit erneuerbaren Energien zu betreiben, soll genauso entfallen wie pauschale Betriebsverbote. Künftig sollen Eigentümer wieder frei entscheiden können, ob sie auf Wärmepumpen, Hybridlösungen, Biomasse-, Gas- oder Ölheizungen setzen. Können die deutschen Klimaziele mit dem Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz überhaupt noch erreicht werden? - Ade Microsoft: Darum verlassen die Cyber-Spezialisten des Schweizer Militärs die Microsoft-Cloud. Die Schweizer Streitkräfte verabschieden sich mit ihrem „Kommando Cyber“ bis Oktober von der Microsoft-Cloud und wechseln zur quelloffenen Lösung OpenDesk, das vom deutschen Zentrum für Digitale Souveränität entwickelt wird. Grund für diesen Schritt ist der zunehmende Zwang vonseiten Microsofts, in die eigene Cloud-Infrastruktur zu wechseln. E-Mails, Dokumente, Kalenderdaten oder Videokonferenzen lassen sich künftig nur noch über die Server des US-Unternehmens abrufen, was bedeuten könnte, dass so sensible Informationen über Umwege in die Hände der US-Regierung gelangen könnten. Sollten sich Deutschland und der Rest von Europa an der Schweiz ein Vorbild nehmen? Außerdem wieder mit dabei: ein Nerd-Geburtstag, das WTF der Woche und knifflige Quizfragen.

It was a good run, but after 250 years, it is finally time to end the experiment in its current form and fashion. Most major cities in America are now low-trust societies where criminality is rampant, and decency is punished. Leftists have destroyed the economic base with woke virtue signaling, burdensome regulations, and a never-ending stream of new taxes. NGOs and Medicaid fraud are responsible for 30% of New York City's private sector jobs, mostly concentrated in healthcare, education, and social services. The Potemkin Village fake economy fuels an entire segment through NGOs receiving money from the government, then redistributes it to the people through fraud and fake charities. Just as the Founding Fathers envisioned…---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

NGOs wie Greenpeace beschäftigen sich schon länger mit dem Thema digitale Souveränität. Nicht erst Fälle wie die Sanktionen gegen Hate Aid haben gezeigt, dass ihre Abhängigkeit von Big Tech ein großes Risiko für ihre Arbeit ist. In diesem Special spricht Karen Paul (CIO Greenpeace Deutschland) mit unserem Gast-Moderator Lucas Dohmen darüber, wie sich Greenpeace vorbereitet, und welche Maßnahmen sie schon ergriffen haben. Das umfasst Themen wie Social Media, interne Kommunikations- und Kollaborationswerkzeuge oder auch das Hosting der Webseiten. Karen erklärt auch, wie Greenpeace in ihrem internationalen Setup diese Projekte pilotiert. Karen Paul ist diplomierte Wirtschaftsinformatikerin und leitet seit 2015 die IT-Abteilung bei Greenpeace Deutschland. Sie ist Mitglied des globalen Technologieausschusses von Greenpeace International. Sie begeistert sich dafür, wie sich Digitalisierung nutzen lässt, um Umwelt- und Klimaschutz voranzubringen und dabei verantwortungsvoll mit digitalen Chancen und Risiken umzugehen. Lucas Dohmen war bereits öfters zu Gast in Software-Architektur im Stream und hat am TechRiders auch als Gastmoderator Gespräche u.a. mit Max Schrems geführt . Gemeinsam mit Dirk Breuer hielt er einen Vortrag zu "Small Clouds & Boring Tech - wie fejo.dk erfolgreich AWS verlassen hat", die Höhen und Tiefen ihres Wechsels weg von den Hyperscalern und wie einfache Clouds und „langweilige“ Technologie es ihnen ermöglichen, erfolgreich zu sein. Dazu gab es auch bereits eine Episode hier im Stream: https://software-architektur.tv/2026/02/20/folge303.html Shownotes: https://lieferantenfragebogen.greenpeace.de Am TechRiders Summit diskutierte Karen in einem Panel zu "Digitale Souveränität im Härtetest: Strategische Entscheidungen für globale Resilienz". Der Beitrag beleuchtet die digitale Souveränität unter extremen geopolitischen und gesellschaftlichen Krisenbedingungen. Anhand der Perspektiven des Goethe-Instituts und von Greenpeace wird aufgezeigt, wie technologische Handlungsfähigkeit in Zeiten von Polykrise und geopolitischer Fragmentierung bewahrt werden kann. Ein anschließendes Panel diskutiert, wie durch klare Governance, gemeinsame Werte und vorausschauende IT-Architektur krisenfeste digitale Infrastrukturen aufgebaut werden können. Das übergeordnete Ziel ist eine widerstandsfähige digitale Unabhängigkeit, die auch unter hohem Druck und in kritischen Situationen funktionsfähig bleibt. Zwei Veröffentlichungen von Greenpeace sind in dem Zusammenhang von Interesse: – Greenpeace macht seine Klimabilanz transparent – Greenpeace's Digital Transformation: A Case of Digital–Sustainable Co-Transformation (aus einer Kooperation mit Leuphana Universität entstanden) https://www.greenpeace.de/ueber-uns/leitbild/mobilitaet-greenpeace https://www.greenpeace.de/publikationen/Zimmer_Greenpeace_Digital_Transformation.pdf

Tim Conley joins us on the Disaster podcast this week to look at the international response to two concurrent disasters. In his role and Chairman of the Board with Med Global and as a co-founder of Interstate Disaster Medical Collaborative (IDMC), Tim discusses how these organizations are working to help manage the Ebola outbreak response in Africa while they simultaneously send teams to assist with medical care of victims following the earthquakes in Venezuela. Previous Disaster Podcast Episode on Med Global in Ukraine MedGlobal provides free, sustainable healthcare services to refugees, displaced persons, and other vulnerable communities in crisis areas and low-resource settings worldwide. They deploy healthcare volunteers, support local medical teams and humanitarian partners with training, funding, and technology, and donate medical equipment, medications and supplies. The episode was co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary New Board Chair Introduction Meeting Sam introduced Tim Conley as the new chair of the board and vice president of MedGlobal, explaining how they first connected in 2006 when Sam was building a disaster team for California and sought Tim’s expertise from the Illinois team. Tim described his current roles as an emergency management supervisor for Mercy Health and his work with MedGlobal’s emergency management and chemical weapons programs, noting his ongoing liaison with IDMC which he helped found. The discussion focused on MedGlobal’s current global healthcare initiatives, including responses in Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Colombia, and other locations, as well as their work in Ebola and Venezuela responses. MedGlobal Healthcare Mission Discussion Sam discussed MedGlobal’s mission of providing free sustainable healthcare to refugees and vulnerable communities through deploying healthcare volunteers and building resilient healthcare systems. Tim explained that his role in emergency management involves providing tools and systems to healthcare providers so they can effectively respond to emergencies, noting that while the concept is simple in description, it’s more complex in practice. The discussion highlighted MedGlobal’s international training programs, including chemical weapons response and surgical techniques, with examples from Ukraine, Gaza, and Bangladesh. International Medical Logistics Coordination Tim discussed the logistical challenges of working with international medical communities, noting that physical movement of materials and coordinating with local partners and governments are the main hurdles, especially in countries like Ukraine, Ebola outbreak regions, and Venezuela. He explained that working with organizations like WHO is crucial for navigating local regulations and ensuring proper distribution of PPE and training programs that align with local practices and WHO recommendations. International Medical Aid Challenges The discussion focused on the challenges of providing medical equipment and training in international aid situations. Sam shared an example from Ukraine where outdated equipment was sent without proper training, leading to the equipment being unused. Jamie asked about balancing access to modern technology with local healthcare system capabilities, to which Zoom responded that it’s crucial to assess what the local system can sustain long-term, noting that healthcare systems often excel in some areas while lacking in others. Ebola Response in Ukraine Challenges The discussion focused on the challenges of responding to the Ebola outbreak in Ukraine, with participants noting the complex logistics due to the strain of the virus, detection difficulties, and ongoing conflicts in the region. Tim explained that Med Global is working with the WHO to determine the best locations for setting up training programs, considering factors like responder fatigue and logistical access. The conversation highlighted the importance of addressing both physical and mental health challenges for first responders, with participants acknowledging the long-term emotional toll of working in dangerous environments with limited PPE and family support. Volunteer Disaster Preparedness Training Challenges Tim discussed the challenges of preparing volunteers for different disaster scenarios, noting that while MedGlobal staff and volunteers receive training from healthcare professionals and emergency managers, there is no single recipe for mental preparation due to varying dangers like Ebola outbreaks, local conflicts, and natural disasters. Tim emphasized the importance of proper training, including PPE use and safety protocols, and mentioned specific examples like emergency management volunteers providing safety training in Venezuela after an earthquake. The discussion concluded with Sam considering the situation of federal employees eager to join USAR and DMAT teams but waiting for disaster deployments. Venezuela Earthquake Relief Efforts Tim explained their earthquake relief efforts in Venezuela, describing how they are working with NGOs and local authorities through advanced teams that are conducting assessments and establishing logistics for medical supplies and patient care. The discussion highlighted the challenges of accessing the country and the importance of planning for needs 2-3 weeks ahead rather than immediate requirements. Sam noted similarities to their previous experience with Ukraine relief efforts, mentioning concerns about distribution, security, and implementation logistics. Venezuela Earthquake Disaster Response The group discussed the situation in Venezuela following an earthquake, with Jamie reporting that official death tolls are likely underreported, with estimates ranging from 3,700 to potentially 10,000 or more deaths. Tim highlighted the dedication of disaster response teams, including medical professionals and volunteers, who willingly enter dangerous areas to help others despite personal risks. The conversation also covered the collapsed chronic disease care system in Gaza, where healthcare infrastructure has been destroyed, leading to significant problems with untreated medical conditions. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

  In this special episode, we are doing something a little different by introducing an urgent, concrete internationalist political project. We are joined by two representatives affiliated with RAIZ International.To protect the sensitive nature of their organizing on the ground, we have tailored this conversation to focus on their overarching strategic goals and material outlook without endangering any ongoing local initiatives.RAIZ International rejects the dominant trend of contemporary Western "solidarity," which often reduces internationalism to hollow press releases, moralistic posturing, or aesthetic digital templates. Instead, RAIZ operates on a model of concrete internationalism—rooting its efforts in the actual relations of production, global displacement patterns, and working-class organization.We discuss the material realities of their focus areas:The Colombian Context: Navigating the complex aftermath of displacement, land conflicts, and regional state violence, and tracing how those struggles connect directly back to Western imperialism and transnational resource extraction.The Migrant Labor Pipeline: How global capital forces displacement from the Global South into the centers of Europe, turning vulnerable migrants into hyper-exploited labor pools.Building Independent Working-Class Power: How RAIZ coordinates across borders to offer material support, link regional organizing struggles, and establish durable counter-institutions that empower workers directly rather than funneling them into state-vetted NGOs.If you are listening from Europe and hear about RAIZ initiatives or their upcoming speaking tour through local newsletters or radical community spaces, we highly encourage you to attend an event, stop by, and get involved. This is how we begin building a concrete, internationalist future with a real revolutionary outlook.Project Links & FundraisingOfficial Website: https://www.raizinternational.org/Fundraising Tour Support: https://chuffed.org/project/gira-venceremosSupport our analysis on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/varnvlogSend us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Across the world, a familiar story is being retold with striking success: that stagnant wages, housing crises and crumbling public services are the fault of migrants and outsiders - not the billionaires and global systems quietly getting richer. It's a story reshaping elections, hardening divisions, and in some places, fuelling violence.In this episode of Think Change, Sara Pantuliano is joined by Dimi Reider (Othering and Belonging Institute / Shared Futures Institute), Tania Cheung, Libby Lenkinski and Kathryn Nwajiaku-Dahou to ask: why do stories so often beat facts? Why has fact-checking failed to stop divisive narratives from taking hold? And what would it actually take to build a competing story - one rooted in justice and redistribution, not nostalgia for a status quo that wasn't working either?The conversation ranges from the mechanics of how harmful narratives spread, to what's breaking down in how NGOs and philanthropy communicate, to where power, money and attention need to shift if progressive narratives are ever going to compete.Guests:Sara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalTania Cheung, Head of the Shifting the Power Programme at Comic Relief Dimi Reider, journalist, policy analyst and facilitator at the Othering and Belonging Institute and Shared Futures Institute Libby Lenkinski, Founding President of Albi and Vice President for Public Engagement at the New Israel FundKathryn Nwajiaku-Dahou, Director Politics and Governance, ODI Global Related resources:Building Narratives for Change: where culture strategy meets policy (Event recording, ODI Global)ODI Global Strategy, 2026-2031Shifting Narratives: From Aid to Agency Shifting the Power Comms Lab Report (Report, Comic Relief)

A new report accuses the world's most trusted human rights organizations of a problem that goes far beyond anti-Israel bias: antisemitism, and a culture that pushes out Jewish staff for naming it. This week, Yonit and Jonathan talk to Danielle Haas, a former senior editor at Human Rights Watch who spent 14 years inside the organization before co-founding EiGHT, a watchdog created to scrutinize the watchdogs. Drawing on interviews with over 70 staffers across nine major NGOs, the report documents internal messages calling for "liberating the world from Zionism," leadership reposting inflammatory rhetoric, and a pattern of employees being sidelined the moment they raised concerns.   00:00 Introduction to the Conversation 01:30 Danielle Haas's Background and Experience 03:43 Insights from the New Report on NGOs 07:58 Striking Findings and Internal Messaging 11:31 Challenges Faced by Jewish Employees 17:19 Lack of Accountability in Human Rights Organizations 21:08 Cultural Shifts and Generational Changes 24:46 Association with Militant Organizations 27:20 The Future of Human Rights Organizations 33:00 Reflections on Personal Experience and Change

Nalika Gajaweera (Research Affiliate, Walter H. Capps Center, University of California, Santa Barbara; PhD, Anthropology, University of California, Irvine, 2013) is an anthropologist of Buddhism, race, and ethics, with a focus on community well-being and resilience. Her current book manuscript, Transforming the American Sangha, funded by the Kataly Foundation, is an ethnography of the Insight Meditation movement in North America, focused on the efforts of practitioners of color to raise awareness of oppressive racial conditions in these communities. Her doctoral research examined how Buddhist ethics and practices of giving shaped Sri Lankan local NGOs doing humanitarianism work in the context of two disasters: the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 and ethnic conflict that ended in 2009. A former Fulbright fellow, Dr. Gajaweera has conducted fieldwork in North America and South Asia, managing and conducting complex multi-stakeholder research projects, exploring power building efforts among marginalized groups. Funders for these projects included Kataly Foundation, John Templeton Foundation, Hilton Foundation and GHR. Nalika Gajawira will collaborate with Ann Gleig on a comparative ethnographic study of how Buddhist communities adopt and adapt popular spiritual exercises such as "secular" mindfulness and yoga classes within a wider Buddhist framework. Their work aims to illustrate the processes, frameworks and relationships that can enable more responsible relationships between specific religious communities and the word of spiritual wellness practices.

"Chronic Wasting Disease is going to wipe out whitetail herds"! We've all heard the jargon put forth by popular NGOs as well as many of our state wildlife governing agencies. But after 18 years of doing this, I (as well as you) am still waiting for the great CWD die off in a whitetail herd. [...]

We have a special episode to share with you this week from our friends at the State of Seed podcast, produced by the International Seed Federation and the podcast team at Foreign Policy magazine: https://foreignpolicy.com/podcasts/state-of-seed/ Hosted by Laura Rosbrow-Telem, State of Seed focuses on how seeds feed and sustain the planet. Each episode features sound-rich explorations with innovative players advancing this vital resource, including leaders of multinational companies and NGOs, UN and government officials, national seed associations, scientists, and of course, farmers. You'll hear about the key concerns keeping them up at night.  To introduce you to their great show, we're sharing their series premiere titled “How Seeds Feed the World,” where they travel to the Netherlands to attend the centennial World Seed Congress and their annual gathering of seed leaders, including Beth Bechdol, Deputy Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN.

Diesmal mit Susanne Schwarz und Sandra Kirchner. Bundeswirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche (CDU) setzt sich in Brüssel für eine Verschiebung der EU-Methan-Verordnung ein. Dafür erhält sie Lob aus der fossilen Wirtschaft - ist aber Bundesumweltminister Carsten Schneider (SPD) in den Rücken gefallen. Rechtsruck bei der Weltbank: Die internationale Entwicklungsbank hat sich von ihrem Ziel verabschiedet, 45 Prozent ihrer jährlichen Kreditvergabe für Projekte mit positivem Klimaeffekt vorzubehalten. Dafür hatten die USA unter Trump lobbyiert. Warum bei NGOs neben Sorge trotzdem Erleichterung herrscht. Die Rekordhitze macht vor den Ozeanen nicht Halt: Die Meere waren zuletzt so heiß wie noch in keinem Juni zuvor. Das hat Auswirkungen für die Tiere und Pflanzen, die in dem warmen Wasser leben - aber auch auf die Menschen. - Das klima update° wird jede Woche von Spender:innen unterstützt.

Mike Lindell breaks his silence on the Dominion lawsuit, his "trillions to one" Rose Garden moment with President Trump, and his run for Minnesota governor. After five and a half years and more than $20 million in legal bills, Dominion walked away — and the very next day, Lindell dropped an 800-page report. Why did Dominion quit right before he released the evidence? Lance Wallnau sits down with the MyPillow founder for a wide-open conversation about the lawsuits, the money, the machines, and the movement. So what is Mike Lindell really fighting for now? In this episode: * The untold Rose Garden backstory — how Lindell ended up alone on stage with Trump against "trillions to one" odds * Why Dominion dropped its case after 5.5 years, and what's inside the 800-page report he released * The $20 million in Dominion legal bills, the private jet he had to sell, and the four pilots he "burned out" * Running for Minnesota governor while polling number one — and the convention machines that "went down" for three hours * Over $20 billion in alleged Minnesota fraud, 400+ NGOs, and the fight for election integrity This is the conversation Mike Lindell has been waiting to have.

Sudan's civil war may be entering another catastrophic phase. As I write this, a genocidal militia is massing outside a major city in Sudan, El Obeid. NGOs, the United Nations — and even Donald Trump's State Department — are warning of the potential of a major mass atrocity event should El Obeid fall. Yet, the attack appears imminent. In this episode of Global Dispatches, I speak with Mutasim Ali, Legal Advisor at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, about the looming threat of mass atrocities in El Obeid, Sudan, as the Rapid Support Forces, the RSF, surround and besiege the city. Sudan's civil war has produced one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and yet the international response has fallen far short of the scale of the emergency.  Mutasim Ali discusses the worsening conflict, the risk of mass atrocities, and why global expressions of concern have not translated into meaningful action. We discuss the dynamics driving the war, the international actors shaping the conflict, and why Sudan has struggled to command the sustained attention it urgently deserves.

It's Wednesday and that means Jimmy Failla, host of Fox Across America, is on the Marc Cox Morning Show — and he does not disappoint. Jimmy kicks things off with the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Madison Square Garden wedding buzz before pivoting to a take that every married man in America will appreciate: nobody actually wants to go to your destination wedding, and Taylor Swift accidentally doing guests a favor by keeping it local. Then California gets the Jimmy Failla treatment — homeless former swimsuit models on the boulevard, NGOs getting rich keeping people on the streets, and a political class handing out needles instead of rehab because there is simply too much money in the misery industry. Jimmy and Marc then light up the WNBA's Sophie Cunningham situation, pointing out that finger-pointing at Caitlin Clark while Clark and Cunningham together account for 70% of all WNBA jersey sales is the single dumbest business decision in women's sports history. Plus Jimmy previews his packed fall tour schedule, shares a Lake of the Ozarks meet-and-greet story involving a drunk Corvette owner who never figured out Jimmy never actually drove his car, and wishes the Marc Cox Morning Show a happy Fourth of July weekend.

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is seeking proposals for an $8 million "homelessness prevention fund" that will distribute about $8,000 per household in rental assistance and eviction protection. It sounds compassionate on paper — until you ask who actually ends up in Seattle's encampments and why they're there.Sean makes the case that funneling taxpayer cash through a revolving door of nonprofit intermediaries doesn't treat the addiction driving visible homelessness; it creates a taxpayer-funded revenue stream for NGOs with every incentive to keep the crisis alive. The math is brutal: a World Cup-era city-funded housing project built 500 units and has 7 occupants. Meanwhile Seattle rents keep climbing, and every new "prevention fund" announcement is another chapter in the homeless industrial complex collecting checks while the problem compounds.The deeper issue is the progressive refusal to name the root cause. Rental assistance for functional families in temporary hardship is a different policy category than what Seattle is actually funding — and conflating the two is either dishonest or delusional. When the policy framework treats addiction-driven homelessness as a housing supply problem, you don't solve homelessness; you subsidize it indefinitely while driving everyone else out of the city.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on the stories Seattle media won't touch honestly.#Seattle #HomelessCrisis #KatieWilsonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Grassroots Politics on Election Eve In this episode of The Chuck and Julie Show, hosts Julie Hayden and Chuck Bonniwell discuss Colorado politics on the eve of the primary election, beginning with the Republican gubernatorial race. Julie opens while Chuck is still arriving from a newspaper-related meeting, then reviews the Republican field and argues that the race has received little serious donor investment because many believe a Republican has only a slim chance of winning the governorship in Colorado. The hosts discuss Scott Bottoms, Barb Kirkmeyer, and Victor Marx, including questions about campaign fundraising, polling, mailers, establishment support, and whether the apparent momentum around Marx is real or overstated. The Democratic Races Draw More Attention Julie and Chuck then turn to the Democratic side, which they consider the more consequential and interesting contest. They discuss the possibility that Colorado Democrats could experience an insurgent progressive shift similar to what they describe in New York politics. The hosts focus on races involving Diana DeGette, Michael Bennet, Phil Weiser, and more progressive challengers, suggesting that the Democratic Party is being pushed farther left and that even candidates once considered more moderate may be unable or unwilling to resist the demands of the party's activist base. Denver, Crime, and the Progressive Policy Debate The discussion widens into Denver politics, especially crime, public safety, and progressive approaches to criminal justice. Julie criticizes efforts she says would effectively reduce consequences for municipal offenses, arguing that businesses are already leaving downtown Denver because people feel unsafe. Chuck and Julie frame these policies as part of a larger shift toward progressive governance in Colorado, which they believe will increase poverty, push away businesses, and make the state resemble other heavily progressive states and cities. Their commentary presents this as evidence of Colorado becoming an increasingly one-party Democratic state. ActBlue, Outside Money, and the Socialist Left The hosts also discuss national Democratic fundraising networks, especially ActBlue, along with claims involving Chinese-linked influence, NGOs, activist funding, climate journalism, and progressive protest networks. They connect these themes to broader concerns about the Democratic Party's leftward movement, the influence of billionaire funders, and the role of outside organizations in shaping activism and election outcomes. Chuck argues that if federal investigators pursue ActBlue-related money trails, Democratic politicians who used the platform could face serious legal and political consequences. Party Fractures and the Battle Inside the Left Julie and Chuck point to public backlash against figures such as Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden as signs of fracture within the Democratic coalition. They play or reference clips of Schumer being booed at a Pride parade and Biden being heckled, interpreting those moments as evidence that establishment Democrats are increasingly vulnerable to anger from the activist left. Chuck explains that once a state becomes a one-party state, the dominant party often begins to divide internally, with factions fighting each other for control after winning power. Court Decisions and Election Integrity The episode also covers several court decisions, including U.S. Supreme Court rulings and a Colorado Supreme Court ruling. Julie and Chuck strongly criticize the Supreme Court's decision allowing mail-in ballots to be counted after Election Day if postmarked by Election Day, arguing that this undermines trust and invites fraud. They also discuss a ruling allowing the president to remove certain agency heads, the Supreme Court declining to take up Donald Trump's appeal in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case, and a Colorado Supreme Court decision blocking ballot initiatives that attempted to combine too many issues into one measure related to redistricting and election rules. Colorado's Future and Republican Party Turmoil The closing portion returns to Colorado's political direction and the state Republican Party's internal problems. Chuck and Julie discuss Colorado's shift toward deeper Democratic control, the possibility of jungle primary reforms, redistricting fights, and the struggle between establishment Republicans and grassroots conservatives. They also mention ongoing Republican Party procedural disputes, a frozen party bank account, leadership concerns, and the lack of urgency they perceive from new party leadership. The episode ends with the hosts looking ahead to election results and promising to break down the outcomes on the next show.

Today, Les, John, Andrew, and Andy examine the devastating earthquake that has killed more than 1,500 people in Venezuela, a number expected to climb, and what the U.S. response reveals about American humanitarian leadership in the Trump era. Washington has committed $150 million in aid flowing through UN agencies and NGOs, with DART teams and fire and rescue units from across the country, including Los Angeles and Fairfax County, already on the ground.But the response raises harder questions than it answers. With USAID largely dismantled, who actually leads American disaster response now, and what does that mean for U.S. soft power on the world stage? Now that the U.S. has removed Maduro and installed a friendly government in Caracas, the response carries an unavoidable optic: is Washington showing up for Venezuela because lives are at stake, or because this is now its ally? And if the U.S. is only willing to show up for countries already in its corner, what does that say about the credibility of American humanitarian commitments when the next crisis hits in less friendly territory?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@lestermunson@andykeiser@johnclipsey@andrewboreneLike what we're doing here?

How much longer can productive labor stay trapped in a crumbling European fiat system before the logical move is to opt out entirely, escape rigid structures, and seek an anti-fragile alternative? Many wonder whether El Salvador is truly a sovereign haven or just a developing nation running a clever marketing stunt, but the answer becomes clear when you look at how the Ministry of Education and Bitcoin Beach are using El Zonte as a blueprint to transform the local economy through financial literacy. In this episode, Chris Meinhart (@ChrisMeinhart) drops by to give us a raw, boots on the ground perspective of his radical personal pivot away from the highly regulated German job system straight to the frontier of Bitcoin Country. It is a wild testimony of what happens when you stop asking permission from failing institutions and actively choose geographic arbitrage to secure your wealth on a sound money standard.Living on a parallel economic standard is about way more than watching a chart or speculating on a digital currency. It is about seeing how honest money completely reshapes a local economy from the grassroots up. Chris lived this firsthand. After getting hit with a corporate tech layoff back in Europe, he used X to connect with sovereign networks and eventually transition to Central America. He is incredibly open about his early days managing communities for local NGOs, including the tough lessons he learned from public internet drama, and why true sovereignty means tuning out the online noise to focus entirely on building real-world regional infrastructure.If you are serious about building an anti-fragile life, you have to get out of the transient tourist bubbles and plant real roots in the community. Chris started out navigating the standard residency paperwork while living near the volcano in San Salvador, but he ultimately found his home in the western mountains of Juayúa. Along the Ruta de las Flores, he and his Salvadoran wife bought land and built a small, self-sufficient homestead from scratch in just three months. It is a fantastic blueprint showing the kind of personal freedom that opens up when you approach a developing nation with cultural humility, learn the language, and build alongside the local people.The real magic happens when you bring structural financial literacy directly to the youth instead of just waiting around for organic adoption. Chris is right in the thick of this now, working with the National Bitcoin Office to roll out the Bitcoin Diploma 2.0 pilot program in public schools. Working hand in hand with the ministry of education, this ten-part curriculum deliberately leaves out wallets and technical coding at the start. Instead, it teaches kids to rethink their relationship with money, focusing on delayed gratification and saving for the future. By scaling the exact circular models we originally proved out here in El Zonte into a nationwide framework, they are helping the next generation build true generational wealth.—Bitcoin Beach TeamLearn more about Chris Meinhart:X: https://x.com/ChrisMeinhartSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00  Intro01:30  What is real grassroots hyper-bitcoinization like in El Salvador?03:41  How to build a sovereign expat network using X Twitter07:05  Is Bitcoin used as everyday money in Bitcoin Beach El Zonte?10:07  How learning Spanish helps expats with geographic arbitrage in El Salvador11:16  How to buy land and build a homestead in Juayua El Salvador13:16  How to protect Bitcoin circular economies from toxic social media drama17:44  How the National Bitcoin Office deploys Bitcoin Diploma 2.0 in public schools24:30  Why you must teach low time preference before using Bitcoin wallets28:44  How living on a sound money standard triggers a spiritual awakeningLive From Bitcoin Beach

President Trump just scored another major immigration victory at the Supreme Court, and it goes straight to the heart of what his base has been demanding for years: control over who stays and who goes. In this new ruling, the Court said Democrats and activist groups *cannot* use the federal courts to block Trump and DHS from ending *Temporary Protected Status (TPS)* for Haitians and Syrians. In practical terms, that means the administration's decision to wind down TPS for roughly *350,000 Haitians* and several thousand Syrians stands, and lower‑court injunctions tying Trump's hands are gone. It also sends a clear message: decisions about TPS designations and terminations are executive and DHS calls, not toys for left‑wing lawyers and UN‑aligned NGOs to play with every time they dislike a president's policy.Sponsor:My Pillowwww.MyPillow.com/JohnPromo Code 'John' at check out for up to 66% off all the amazing products!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Drew, Tom, and Ryan dig into the leftward lurch of the Democratic Party, unpacking the DSA wave behind Mamdani's New York sweep and what it means when self-described communists start winning the safest Democratic seats in the country. The conversation traces how populism is fueled by economic anxiety, why both parties keep racing to the extremes, and whether finding the way back to the middle is even possible anymore. From there, they get into the hard economics: why socialist and communist policies historically break the economy, the calorie-storage origin of the social contract, the freeloader problem that sinks societies, and the real fight over wages, corporations, and whether companies like Walmart and Amazon are the villains people think they are. They take on Trump's threat to sic the DOJ on big oil for price gouging, why government price controls always fail, and how the OPEC cartel and regulatory capture are the actual problems behind what you pay at the pump. The discussion turns global with a hard look at USAID, the claim that foreign aid has been quietly funding NGOs and destabilization movements abroad, Japan dumping US treasuries amid its liquidity crisis, and the financial repression playbook Washington may use to inflate its way out of a crushing national debt. They weigh in on Congress voting to curb hostilities with Iran and what it means for negotiating power. Finally, the episode goes deep on one of the most important debates of the next decade: a Michigan city council banning the pride flag, Muslim immigration and assimilation, whether Islam has had its reformation, separation of church and state, and the candid clash over whether America is truly a Christian nation or simply shaped by Christian values. Whether you're here for sharp political analysis, hard economic truth, or a deeper look at the values shaping society, this episode offers a nuanced, unflinching take on how today's choices will define tomorrow.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Mel K about her book Infiltration Instead Of Invasion. Mel argues that America was not conquered by a traditional invasion, but infiltrated through finance, intelligence, international institutions, NGOs, academia, and the post World War II global architecture. They discuss JFK's warning, the Federal Reserve, the Dulles brothers, the CIA, the Bank of International Settlements, Bretton Woods, USAID, NATO, the UN, Trump, sovereignty, and the future of freedom.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

Is California beyond saving? Or is this the biggest political cover-up in America? Real estate mogul, entrepreneur, and former California gubernatorial candidate Elaine Culotti joins Jillian Michaels for an explosive conversation about the hidden systems she says are driving California into collapse. From ballot harvesting and voter roll controversies to homeless spending, high-speed rail failures, NGOs, special interests, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and billions of taxpayer dollars disappearing into bureaucracy, this episode pulls back the curtain on what many believe is a broken system. Why does California keep electing the same leaders despite rising crime, failing infrastructure, and a worsening affordability crisis? Who is actually benefiting? And can the state still be saved? Elaine doesn't hold back.
