In this urgent satsang, Shunyamurti shares that he received the message that we are at the moment depicted in the Bhagavad Gita, when Arjuna understands and accepts that he must fight the battle he dreads, knowing it will destroy civilization. Reflecting on the aftermath of the failed Putin–Trump summit in Alaska, in the context of the imminent collapse of Western hegemony, and the fractal nature of reality—meaning that all of us face such a situation in our own lives as well— Shunya explains that the only solution is taking refuge with God. The grace of the Supreme Self alone will enable us to face fearlessly the events to come. Our spiritual duty is to radiate the salvific light of truth, peace, and divine love to all souls in our dying world.

"I have friends everywhere." In this special episode, we're joined by Tony Gilroy, the creative force behind the electrifying Star Wars series Andor. Critics and activists on the frontlines in America have praised Andor for its powerful portrayal of resistance, and with Season 2 up for 14 Emmy Awards, it's clear this is no ordinary space opera. Gilroy's vision grounds the story in centuries of history, showing us what it means to resist empire in all its brutality. Andor is an urgent guide for Americans today.  For more than three decades, Gilroy has been shaping modern cinema with blockbusters and fearless storytelling. He gave us Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and wrote and directed the critically acclaimed political thriller Michael Clayton, which earned him Oscar nominations for both screenplay and direction. His credits include Armageddon and the first four entries of the Bourne series (in which he directed the fourth), Devil's Advocate, Dolores Claiborne, The Cutting Edge, State of Play, and many, many other films.  The son of World War II veteran and Tony and Pulitzer-winning playwright and filmmaker Frank Gilroy, and brother to acclaimed film editor John Gilroy and Oscar-nominated writer-director Dan Gilroy (an Emmy-nominated writer on Andor), Tony Gilroy doesn't just tell stories: he builds immersive worlds where power, corruption, and resistance collide, worlds that help us make sense of our own. We're thrilled to welcome him to Gaslit Nation to discuss this dark chapter in America's history and, through his art, remind us of the courage it takes to stand and fight back. For Gaslit Nation listeners who want the full breakdown of the convicted felon/war criminal distraction circus and what comes next for the Free World, our latest salon digs into the Putin-Trump gaslighting sideshow in Alaska and how the war can actually end. You can watch the recording at Patreon.com/Gaslit. Thank you to everyone who makes our independent journalism possible! Don't miss Monday's salon at 4pm ET, only on Patreon, where we'll dive into two powerful films about resisting dictatorship: The Lives of Others and I'm Still Here.  The Lives of Others tells the haunting story of artists defying the East German Stasi, while I'm Still Here tells the story of a woman whose husband is disappeared by Brazil's military dictatorship in the 1970s, and how she transforms her country for the better.  These two films are reminders that light will always defeat darkness: it's just a matter of time, and collective courage and defiance.    Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Russian oil used to flow into Europe. Now, it's going to India and China instead.  So, could Donald Trump's latest tariff threat against those countries put a squeeze on Russia's economic pipeline and help bring an end to the war in Ukraine?  Despite the warm words and strong handshakes at their Alaskan summit, the Trump White House seems prepared to try new ways to hit Vladimir Putin in the pocket.  But has the failure of the western sanction regime to cripple the Russian economy shown India and China that Trump's trade war bark is worse than his bite?  On today's episode, Gareth Barlow speaks to Sky's economics and data editor Ed Conway about how the Russian energy landscape has changed and the potential impact on peace in Ukraine.   Producer: Emily Hulme  Editor: Mike Bovill

So many people STILL don't understand Trump's behavior on the war in Ukraine. So many people STILL thinking that Trump keeps getting played by Putin. No. Trump is not being played by Putin. Trump is doing exactly what he wants because Trump works for Putin, Trump is on Putin's side. Once you accept that scary truth, everything that's happening now makes sense. Hosted on Acast.

It's Monday, August 18th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Vietnamese Communists cut electricity to church mid-service As a Catholic priest quietly led a service in the home of one of 20 worshippers in the evening of August 11 in the Đại Từ district in northeast Vietnam, Communist authorities cut the home's electricity to stop the service, reports International Christian Concern. Then, they detained three church members. In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first.” Multiple worshippers livestreamed the arrests on Facebook. Within two hours, the video had been seen 60,000 times. After Putin-Trump meeting, Trump declared: “It's up to Zelenskyy” In a join press conference with U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin summarized his perception of what needed to happen to end the Russo-Ukrainian War. He made the remarks following his 3-hour sit-down meeting with President Trump in Anchorage, Alaska last Friday.  Listen to the real-time translation by a female translator. PUTIN: “The situation in Ukraine has to do with fundamental threats to our security. Everything that's happening is a tragedy for us and terrible wound. Therefore, the country is sincerely interested in putting an end to it. “[At] the same time, we're convinced that in order to make the settlement lasting and long-term, we need to eliminate all the primary causes of that conflict. And we've said it multiple times, to consider all legitimate concerns of Russia and to reinstate a just balance of security in Europe and in the world on the whole. “Naturally, the security of Ukraine should be ensured as well. I would like to hope that the agreement that we've reached together will help us bring closer that goal and will pave the path towards peace in Ukraine.” Following the press conference, President Donald Trump talked to Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel. HANNITY: “If you had to grade it on a scale of one to 10?” TRUMP:  “I think the meeting was a ‘10' in the sense that we got along great. And it's good when, you know, two big powers get along, especially when they're nuclear powers. You know, we're number one, they're number two in the world.  That's a big deal. You never want to even mention that word, the word nuclear.” President Trump addressed how it went and what the next step is to bring the Russo-Ukrainian War to a close. TRUMP: “We were together almost three hours, and it was very extensive, and we agreed on a lot of points. I mean, a lot of points were agreed on, but there's not that much as you know, one or two pretty significant items, but I think they can be reached. Now, it's really up to [Ukrainian] President [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy to get it done.” Costco will not sell Abortion Kill Pill Costco Wholesale Corp. has announced it will not dispense the abortion kill pill mifepristone at its U.S. pharmacies, a decision hailed by pro-life advocates as a significant victory, reports LifeNews. The abortion kill pill has been responsible for killing millions of babies and killing and injuring countless women. The retail giant's decision comes amid pressure from Christian investors and pro-life groups urging major retailers to refrain from distributing the abortion drug. Costco has joined other major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Albertsons, which have also declined to sell the deadly pills. Send a 2-sentence thank you note to Ron Vachris, Costco President, 999 Lake Drive, Issaquah, Washington 98027. Massachusetts is Sanctuary state for transgender surgery on kids Massachusetts has become a “sanctuary state” for transgender procedures on children, report MassResistance. Shockingly, Massachusetts doctors who break other states' laws prohibiting transgender procedures will be protected from prosecution -- and their names hidden from the public.  While 25 states have banned such foolishness, the Massachusetts Legislature passed the so-called “shield law” on July 31, 2025. It is among the most aggressive and offensive anti-family laws anywhere in America. Days later, the state's radical lesbian Democratic Governor Maura Healy, who is in a sinful relationship with Joanna Lydgate, signed it into law. Dr. Elizabeth Boskey at Boston Children's Hospital revealed the hospital is willing to remove a 15-year-old girl's healthy breasts. BOSKEY: “The eligibility for getting gender-affirming surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital is basically the same as it would be for most other hospitals or surgeons in the United States. And that's the case because we all follow the World Professional Association for Transgender Health standards of care. “For top surgery, you are requested,  but not required, to have been on gender-affirming hormones for at least a year. If you're a ‘trans woman,' it's really encouraged that you be on estrogen for at least a year, because you want to maximize your natural breast growth. “Many surgical centers require you to be 18. At Boston Children's Hospital, for top surgeries, we'll see people as young as age 15, if they've been affirmed in their gender for a long period of time and don't really have any other life complications that make surgery inappropriate.” 41 Planned Parenthood abortion mills have closed this year Ready for some great news? So far this year, the Planned Parenthood abortion business has closed 41 centers. Despite what the abortion giant and the media would have Americans think, they all participated in abortions, reports Life News. William Carey, father of modern missions, said,  And finally, 264 years ago yesterday, a very special man was born in England. William Carey is his name and he is known as the "father of modern missions.” The eldest of five children, his parents were weavers.  Carey went to work for the local shoemaker, Thomas Old, during which time he taught himself Hebrew, Italian, Dutch, and French. He often read while working on the shoes. Carey married Old's sister-in-law, Dorothy Plackett, with whom he had seven children. Sadly, three of their kids died before the age of five. Inspired by Jonathan Edwards' An account of the life of the Rev. David Brainerd,  Carey spent 41 years in India as a missionary without a furlough.  He led 700 souls to Christ in a nation of millions.  Romans 10:15 says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” He wrote a book entitled An Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens which led to the founding of the Baptist Missionary Society. Carey was known for saying, “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God."   He also said, "To know the will of God, we need an open Bible and an open map." He understood the importance of both Scripture and understanding the world around us. Finally, he prioritized meaningful work. He said, “I'm not afraid of failure; I'm afraid of succeeding at things that do not matter."

Today's show addresses key strategic questions in the Ukraine war post-Alaska Trump-Putin meeting: What are the strategic objectives of Trump, Putin, and Ukraine-Europe in the wake of the Putin-Trump meeting? Why are the US neocons+Europe+Zelensky opposed to any compromise settlement to the war? Who are the Neocons (Deep State) enabling the Europe-Zelensky opposition to ending the war? Why did Trump cancel his draconian sanctions (due Aug 8) and shift from 'ceasefire first' to a compromise settlement with Russia and a general 'peace deal'? What's the Europe strategy now? Putin's? Dr. Rasmus also revisits his early 2025 prediction that the Ukraine army will begin to collapse along several fronts by November 2025 due to insufficient reserves and multiple Russian tactical encirclements. 

If the Putin-Trump meeting on the weekend brought about anything, it was a closer relationship between the two leaders. One an accused war criminal, the other a convicted felon. So, with the US president rolling out the red carpet for his Russian counterpart, what will Vladimir Putin do next? Today, Russia expert Matthew Sussex from the Centre for European Studies at the ANU on Putin's ultimate aim and how Trump's helping him achieve it.   Featured: Dr Matthew Sussex, Visiting Fellow, Centre for European Studies at the Australian National University

00:00:00 – Drugs, Dumb Teen Stories & a “Butt-Chugging” PSA Loose opener about uppers vs. downers, teenage Ritalin myths, oxygen-deprivation “games,” and the show's long-running warning about dangerous alcohol stunts—then a pivot toward news. 00:10:00 – Robot Games: Toddlers Today, Terminators Tomorrow China launches the first Humanoid Robot Games: 500+ bots on 280 teams from 16 countries compete in 26 events from soccer and boxing to medicine sorting and cleaning. Hosts riff on elder-care “assistant” robots and the dystopian vibes. 00:20:00 – From Robot Olympics to Robot Allowance Speculation on “AI crypto allowances” to motivate humanoids, ED-209 jokes, and the idea of parallel “janitor Olympics.” The convo begins drifting toward brain-computer interfaces. 00:30:00 – BCI “Password” Guards Your Thoughts (Sort of) Discussion of a mind-reading brain implant that only decodes when you think a preset keyword; claims of ~74% accuracy on imagined sentences and even silent counting, with big privacy worries baked in. 00:40:00 – Death Valley Heat & the Federal Urine Chart Why people still flock to Death Valley in killer temps, and the National Park Service's bathroom-posted urine-color chart for hydration—equal parts useful and darkly funny. 00:50:00 – Ouija Study Says Fear = Belief; Mike Says “Careful, Portals” A field experiment finds believers report anxiety and “supernatural” perceptions using the board, skeptics don't—researchers call the board harmless.

Brian and Layan discuss the rapidly expanding worldwide opposition as Israel intentionally slaughters journalists and starves Palestinian civilians. Even mainstream media figures are now denouncing Israel. They also expose the coup-like nature of Donald Trump's militarization decree that intensifies an all-out attack against Black, Latino and immigrant communities. They also provide a political framing for the Putin-Trump meeting in Alaska and assess Russia's goals in the Ukraine War.This is a preview of a patrons-only episode.

Much of the discussion following President Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska has centred around the nature of any security guarantee for Kyiv. Reports are also beginning to emerge about what the two leaders talked about. In other news, weather conditions are hampering efforts to find survivors of flash floods that have killed more than three hundred people across Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. And Police Scotland has begun an investigation after pupils at a primary school in Midlothian were added to a WhatsApp group in which they were told to send explicit photographs.

Edition No223 | 15-08-2025 - The reaction of Russia's nationalists, the so-called turbo patriots and war bloggers to Putin's Alaska Summit with Trump is perhaps not what you might have expected. It's far from positive, and strikes a tone of caution, fear even, of humiliation, failure and treachery. What on earth is going on? Ordinarily, we would not spend much time reviewing what Z-Patriots think, because it is vile and inconsequential. But on this occasion, the negative murmurings around the summit are perhaps a little revealing – not of Russia's strengths, but a recognition of its weakness and vulnerability. They fear that the capacity for Russia to wage war may be dwindling and ending. What Z-Patriots really think and what Putin Wants. “No greater humiliation”: Why the Alaska summit rattles the Z-sphere. On the eve of the Alaska summit, the Kremlin's online chorus of hate and loathing, The Z-Patriot milieu sounds a little off-key. Russia's hardline pro-war influencers can't decide whether Alaska is a stage set for triumph or a set-up for humiliation. Exiled dissident Russian journalist and YouTuber Майкл Наки stitched together their reactions in a scathing roundup titled «БОЛЬШЕГО УНИЖЕНИЯ ПРИДУМАТЬ НЕВОЗМОЖНО» — “You couldn't invent a greater humiliation.” (YouTube, channel “Майкл Наки,” uploaded mid-Aug 2025.)----------DESCRIPTION: Alaska Summit Dilemma: Z-Patriots, Putin, and Trump's Tactical DanceIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the controversial Alaska Summit involving Putin, Trump, and their key ministers. We explore the reactions of Russia's nationalists, the so-called turbo patriots, and war bloggers who perceive the summit not as a triumph, but as a potential humiliation for Russia. As we analyze the symbolism, fears, and strategic implications, we also look into what the summit means for Russia, Ukraine, and global geopolitics. With perspectives from various commentators, observers, and official statements, we dissect the underlying motives and anticipated outcomes of this high-stakes meeting.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction to the Alaska Summit01:01 Z-Patriots' Reactions and Fears03:27 The Kremlin's Official Stance06:29 The Summit's Symbolism and Optics10:10 Ukraine's Strategic Pressure10:44 The Human Cost of War11:39 Myths and Misconceptions15:40 Concluding Thoughts and Future Outlook----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VohB4cXnfe8&t=967s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOHk3mHwMWY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOHk3mHwMWY Kyiv Independent — Russia unveils delegation, agenda, schedule; no agreement expected; live news feed, summit framing.Reuters — Zelenskyy in London; security guarantees debate; Trump/Putin deal talk; Putin's demands incl.

As Putin and Trump meet in a tense moment of global brinkmanship, Shunyamurti offers a teaching on how to remain unshaken in the face of uncertainty. Drawing from the Ashtavakra Samhita, he explains how to free yourself from anxiety, transcend identification with body and ego, and abide in the constant presence of pure awareness.

Episode 4707: Pre Game To The Putin/Trump Summit

SEASON 4 EPISODE 4: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Hey have fun watching Trump's "listening exercise" with Putin in Alaska today. No, Russia. No, Alaska. I don’t know any more. Listening exercise.” Trump listening to Putin telling him what to do. No crap. This is simple. Trump and Putin will leave this photo-op having agreed on something utterly agreeable to Putin. Like the cease fire Axios reports Trump told European leaders yesterday he really wants. You know what THAT could be: Putin will agree to a cease-fire if Ukraine will stop annoying Putin by defending its territory. Then Trump will claim a victory. Then Ukraine will reject it – although President Zelensky’s real play is to say it is too naïve an idea to even merit a comment, and any child can see that – then Trump will blame Zelensky and say he resolved the war except for the war part. That Zelensky screwed it up. Actually it may be worse. The Times of London headline: “US and Russia ‘propose West Bank-style occupation of Ukraine." Per its source close to the U.S. national security council: "It’ll just be like Israel occupies the West Bank. With a governor, with an economic situation that goes into Russia, not Ukraine. But it’ll still be Ukraine, because … Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine.” THIS IS THE TEST MARKETING OF THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP: Trump says sure he'll go to Congress to get the use of troops authorized in DC past the 30-day limit. Or he'll just declare a national emergency. He boasts he closed the border and didn't get anybody's permission. He is moving towards the takeover. We are this close to him in the Kim Jong Un hat. THE TRUMPSTEIN COVER-UP CONTINUES: Karoline "Noble Prize" Leavitt explains Trump “wants to see credible evidence released." The part she leaves out is that of course he wants to make sure that this evidence is NOT released. Some of the evidence about Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer has been revealed and somebody tampered with her prisoner status and she may now be free to leave Club Fed during the day. AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn't the dumbest of them all - oh yes she is. B-Block (34:03) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: CNN's Kasie Hunt says sure crime is down by a quarter in DC but does it FEEL like it's down? Andrew Cuomo finds another opponent he can beat: Muhammad Ali's most famous quote. And if OK! Magazine has the story right, Jeff Bezos has found the next Bond Girl: MRS. Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez. C-Block (56:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Missed the anniversary by twelve days but it's always in the back of my mind anyway. Literally one month into my career and only the seventh time my bosses trusted me enough to leave me alone on a sportscasting shift at our 1,000-station radio network, Thurman Munson - catcher and captain of the New York Yankees - was killed when the plane he was still learning how to fly crashed at an Ohio airport. And the news came across my wire one minute before my sportscast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The past week has seen a frenzy of diplomatic activity on Ukraine, culminating in Donald Trump's extraordinary announcement that he will host Vladimir Putin in Alaska for talks on the war. Setting aside the propriety of Putin visiting the United States (he launched this war of aggression and is wanted by the ICC for the systematic abduction of Ukrainian children) what could such a summit actually achieve? Would Ukraine really be willing to trade land for a ceasefire? And would Putin simply use a pause in hostilities to regroup? I put these questions and more to Evelyn Farkas, a longtime Ukraine specialist who is now the CEO of the McCain Institute. We spoke just hours before Trump announced the Alaska summit and we kick off with a discussion about the current state-of-play of the conflict on the ground before discussing the prospects of a diplomatic solution to this conflict.

Well the Putin-Trump summit kicks off tomorrow... and Joseph has some thoughts, and some extremely high octane speculation, about it (today there's no focus… The post NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THE NEFARIUM AUGUST 14 2025 appeared first on The Giza Death Star.

What to expect from this week's Putin–Trump summit in Alaska? Hoover Institution Director and former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice—no stranger, she, to engaging in statecraft with Russia's enigmatic president—joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster for a spirited conversation about Vladimir Putin's motives (is the summit only for domestic Russian consumption?), how to characterize the present US-Sino competition (Secretary Rice tossing cold water on “Cold War 2”), plus the sensibility of the Trump administration's threats to withhold federal research funds from leading universities in order to change campus cultures. Following that, Sir Niall recounts his recent sit-down with Argentinian president Javier Milei (is that nation's “vibe shift” real or contrived?); and tariff-agnostic John Cochrane assesses the progress of the Trump administration's ever-evolving trade strategy. Finally, the three panelists discuss the recent 80th anniversary of the only wartime use of atomic weapons and the importance of its annual remembrance.

In this podcast interview, global economic consultant Simon Hunt provides a comprehensive analysis of current geopolitical and economic tensions, focusing on potential conflicts and economic challenges facing the world. The discussion centers on the upcoming Putin-Trump summit, which Hunt believes will likely produce no substantial outcomes, with the Russia-Ukraine conflict expected to continue and be ultimately decided on the battlefield. Hunt suggests significant geopolitical risks exist, particularly in the Middle East, with potential escalations involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. He emphasizes that Washington's broader strategic objective is to prevent the BRICS nations from maturing into a genuine opposition to the current unilateral world order. The upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in September could be a pivotal moment in reshaping global dynamics. Economically, Hunt warns of potential recessionary pressures, with particular concerns about Europe's financial stability. He notes that China's economy is experiencing weakening demand, with manufacturing sectors showing signs of strain. The implementation of tariffs and trade uncertainties are creating significant business hesitation and potential long-term economic disruptions. Regarding inflation, Hunt predicts a potential inflationary surge by mid-2025, potentially reaching double-digit levels by 2027-2028. He highlights food prices as a critical indicator, with the FAO food price index showing concerning upward trends. The potential for war and continued monetary stimulus could exacerbate these inflationary pressures. In the commodities sector, particularly copper, Hunt anticipates a market correction with prices potentially falling to around $7,000 before potentially doubling by 2027-2028. He suggests that war could paradoxically become a driver of copper consumption. Ultimately, Hunt's analysis paints a picture of increasing global economic and geopolitical uncertainty, advising listeners to remain flexible, maintain food reserves, and be prepared for potential significant economic disruptions in the coming years.

Democratic Representative Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts joins to discuss the upcoming Putin Trump meeting in Alaska as well as the recent deal between Trump and Nvidia. Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. both recently secured Washington’s approval to resume lower-end AI chip sales to China, on the controversial and legally questionable condition that they give the US government a 15% cut of the related revenue. But even with Trump’s team on board, the two companies face the challenge that their Chinese customers are under Beijing’s pressure to purchase domestic chips instead. Beijing’s overall push affects AI accelerators from AMD in addition to Nvidia, one of the people said, though it’s unclear whether any letters specifically mentioned AMD’s MI308 chip.
