The UK has outlawed Palestine Action, grouping it with ISIL and al-Qaeda. Supporters of the group now risk up to 14 years in prison, and arrests of protesters opposed to the listing have already begun. What does the decision reveal about the UK’s approach to protest and civil disobedience, and how might it reshape the wider Palestine solidarity movement?

The US has imposed sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for using her position to oppose the most thoroughly documented genocide in history. At the same time, the US has removed Syria's Al Qaeda franchise HTS from its list of designated terrorist organizations, because its leader successfully carried out the regime change in Damascus that the western empire had been chasing for years. At the same time, the UK has added nonviolent anti-genocide activism group Palestine Action to its list of banned terrorist organizations for opposing the Gaza holocaust. At the same time, the Israeli prime minister who is carrying out that holocaust has nominated the American president who is helping him perpetrate genocidal atrocities for a Nobel Peace Prize. At the same time, Israel has continued its ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza, while also arresting the Israeli journalist who helped expose the IDF officials who cooked up fake atrocity propaganda about burnt babies on October 7. At the same time, the Trump administration has enraged its MAGA base by concluding that Jeffrey Epstein had no client list for any kind of sexual blackmail operation and definitely committed suicide. The western empire is one nonstop insult to our intelligence. The peace advocates are terrorists, the genocide architects deserve peace prizes, the journalists are dangerous, and Epstein was just a wealthy socialite who made a few mistakes. Reading by Tim Foley.

On the eve of his first election, Donald Trump warned about the threat posed by an ideology he described as “radical Islamic terrorism,” sharply criticizing those who ignored that reality – and committing to counter it comprehensively.  Today, President Trump is surrounded by official and unofficial advisors convinced that deals can be done with devoted adherents to that ideology. Its financial enablers in Qatar, an al Qaeda leader now president of Syria, the surviving Hamas leadership and their Iranian sponsors are now the focus of various U.S. diplomatic and commercial engagement initiatives. Unfortunately, the radical Islamic ideology of Sharia requires its adherents to use temporary truces to deceive infidels as part of a strategy of destroying them. Mr. Trump urgently needs a second opinion, informed by those who know he was right nine years ago – lest he encourage, and enable, the Sharia-supremacists' jihadism. This is Frank Gaffney.

This week on DANGER CLOSE, Jack Carr is joined by Alex Berenson—former New York Times reporter, bestselling thriller author, and investigative journalist.Alex began his career as a journalist after graduating from Yale with degrees in history and economics, joining The Denver Post and later becoming one of the first reporters at TheStreet.com.

Brennan and Comey Under DOJ Investigation The Department of Justice is investigating former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey for their roles in the Trump–Russia probe. Allegations include false statements to Congress and broader conspiracies against President Trump. Bryan calls their actions one of the greatest crimes of his lifetime and demands accountability. Supreme Court Empowers Trump to Fire Federal Workers In an 8–1 ruling, the Supreme Court sided with President Trump's effort to carry out mass federal layoffs. The justices made clear the move will likely withstand future legal challenges. Polls show strong public support for downsizing a federal workforce that ballooned under President Biden. Antifa Shoots ICE Agent in Texas, More Attacks Planned A far-left terror cell ambushed an ICE facility in Texas, injuring one agent. Ten people were arrested and charged with attempted murder. In New York, another leftist was arrested for online threats to kill ICE agents and their children. Bryan warns that Democrat rhetoric is fueling real-world violence. State Department Alerts Global Leaders to AI Voice Fraud Foreign ministers and U.S. officials were targeted by an AI-generated voice mimicking Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The State Department has issued new guidance to prevent deception via deepfake audio. Bryan advises listeners to use private “code words” with loved ones as a precaution. Trump Plans Work Permits for Migrant Farm Workers, Long-Term Shift to Automation President Trump's administration may offer work visas to some illegal immigrants in agriculture while pursuing a long-term shift toward farm automation. New weeding robots and AI-driven farm equipment are gaining traction, with a goal of replacing migrant labor with American-led automation. Trump Moves to Ban Chinese Ownership of U.S. Farmland The administration is crafting an executive order to force Chinese nationals off U.S. farmland, especially near military bases. Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods pushes back, but Bryan urges revoking all Chinese visas, citing espionage and sabotage risks. Trump May Send Patriot Missiles to Ukraine as U.S. Stockpiles Shrink The White House is considering a new Patriot missile system for Ukraine. Stocks are already low due to conflicts in Israel and Yemen. Bryan warns that America is risking strategic depletion and urges Europe to step up—possibly with troops on the ground. Dozens of Countries Race to Strike Trade Deals Before Trump's August Deadline European nations are close to locking in low tariff rates, while countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Bangladesh scramble to avoid steep penalties. BRICS members, including China and India, face an automatic 10% tariff penalty for trying to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump Imposes 50% Tariff on Copper to Revive U.S. Mining With only three copper smelters left in America and rising dependency on imports, Trump hikes copper tariffs to boost domestic refining and national security. U.S. Removes Terrorist Label from Syrian Rebel Group Trump revokes the terror designation from HTS, a former al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, citing a high-confidence intel assessment that its leadership has reformed. The move could open Syria to investment and peace talks with Israel. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

The DOJ announces that there is no incriminating client list in the Epstein files despite the administration having promised MAGA influencers that there would be bombshell revelations in the case.

Bill is joined by (most of) the Generation Jihad crew to unpack a few headlines like: Hamas is murdering aid workers, the US is delisting a former al Qaeda franchise, and the Houthis are back to bombing ships.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and US bureau chief Jacob Magid join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington, DC, but mediators in the ongoing negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal have been notified by the Trump administration that the president expects them to secure an agreement this week. US Special Envoy to the Mideast Steve Witkoff will travel to Doha today to advance the deal. We hear from Magid and Berman what the atmosphere is like in DC: Are officials still hopeful a deal could occur according to Trump's timeline? Ahead of a White House dinner, both US President Donald Trump and Netanyahu took American media's questions, including a query about the viability of the two-state solution. We learn what Netanyahu said at the dinner, as well as remarks following the meal from a senior Israeli official who intimated that Israel is ready to temporarily govern the Gaza Strip: “There has to be a system there that manages life,” the official said. “Maybe for a certain amount of time, it is us." Yesterday, the US announced that it was revoking its “foreign terrorist organization” designation of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the group once linked to Al-Qaeda that took control of Syria in December 2024. This comes after last week, Trump formally dismantled US sanctions against Syria. We learn what was said during the Trump-Netanyahu dinner and the US's hopes to reintegrate Syria into the global economy. Part of the reason that Netanyahu is in DC is to celebrate the success of the 12-day Israel-Iran war. In a briefing with a senior Israeli official following the dinner, it was also noted that Israel anticipates the US will permit it to launch new strikes on Iran, in the event that the Islamic Republic attempts to restart its nuclear program. There was no ceasefire deal announcement, but there was drama of a different sort: Following Trump’s opening remarks to reporters before their White House dinner, Netanyahu expressed his appreciation for the American leader on behalf of Israelis as well as Jews around the world and presented Trump with a letter he sent to the Nobel Prize committee nominating the US president for the peace prize.

From Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Syria to whispers of folding Damascus into the Abraham Accords, Syria's new leader, Ahmad al Sharaa—an ex–al Qaeda commander—now finds himself near the center of America's diplomatic efforts in the region. Can a former jihadi become a US-backed peace partner? Are we seriously having this conversation again? Yes, and joining Bill to have it are his FDD colleagues David Daoud and Ahmad Sharawi.

It's Tuesday, July 1, 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 Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus Chinese Communists give pastors 3 years in jail for leading church Three pastors from Linfen Covenant Home Church in Shanxi, China have been sentenced to 2-4 years of prison time for various charges related to their leading an unregistered church in the communist country. The church issued a statement, announcing that “We honor the service of Li Jie, Han Xiaodong, and Wang Qiang who suffered for righteousness, and we are willing to bear the cross with the Lord. We receive this verdict with a grateful and obedient heart.” Jesus offers this encouragement in Revelation 2:10 -- “Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Brazilian homeschool mother facing $20,000 of fines Today, a Brazilian court will hear a case of a mom prosecuted for homeschooling her son.   Regiane Cichelero is facing fines of $20,000 and threats of losing custody of her child, for choosing home education on religious grounds.  Alliance Defending Freedom International has taken up the case.  Her legal counsel, Julio Pohl, pointed out that “No parent should fear state punishment for choosing to homeschool their child. Regiane made a lawful and conscientious decision to teach her son at home. We are hopeful that the court will affirm her rights and take an important step toward protecting parental rights in Brazil.”   Regiane continues to homeschool despite the risks involved. Pray for this case, which may serve as a precedent for the other 70,000 homeschooled children in Brazil.   Victory of Christian Colorado camp over transgender agenda Also, Alliance Defending Freedom has announced a favorable settlement for the Idrahaje Christian Camp in Bailey, Colorado. The camp was under threat of losing its license for refusing to submit to state requirements regarding the transgendering of bathrooms and living quarters. The name of the camp is taken from the phrase “I'd rather have Jesus more than anything!”  They use the first two letters of the first four words. The State of Colorado agreed not to take any enforcement action against Camp IdRaHaJe for violation of the gender identity requirements. The state has also clarified in a memo on its website that “churches, synagogues, mosques, or any other place that is principally used for religious purposes” are exempt from the transgendering requirements. Syria's own government helped massacre 1,500 Alawites Reuters has reported on its investigation of the Syrian massacre of 1,500 Alawites in March of this year. The perpetrators included units belonging to the new government based in Damascus. Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa of the Free Syrian Army and Al-Qaeda took over Syria in January of this year. The new government has also instituted a constitution stating that  “The religion of the President of the Republic is Islam. … Islamic jurisprudence is the principal source of legislation.” This constitutes a step up in Islamic rule over Syria. According to Open Doors, Syria is the 18th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Iraq allows Muslim men to “marry” 9-year-old girls The new Iraqi government is also following Islamic Sharia law closely. Earlier this year, Iraq's parliament voted to give Islamic courts more control in family law, and permit child marriages for girls as young as nine years of age.  Supreme Court allows parents to opt kids out & requires porn sites to verify age Here in America, the U.S. Supreme Court is allowing parents opt-out rights for their elementary-aged children from having to participate in homosexual-themed lessons. That comes by a vote of 6 to 3. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito emphasized that “What the parents seek here is not the right to micromanage the public school curriculum, but rather to have their children opt out of a particular educational requirement that burdens their well-established right ‘to direct ‘the religious upbringing' of their children'” under  the free exercise clause of the First Amendment.  Another 6-3 ruling, the High Court has also upheld a Texas Law requiring pornographic websites to verify users are over 18 years of age.  Only adults will be allowed into these sinful activities. Writing for the majority, Justice Clarence Thomas concluded, ”The power to require age verification is within a State's authority to prevent children from accessing sexually explicit content.” But, in Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.'  But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” U.S. government buying its own bonds The U.S. government is buying back its own bonds. Barchart reports the largest buyback in history occurred earlier this month.  Under the direction of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the department bought $10 billion of its own bonds.  Federal Reserve on the ropes The Federal Reserve issued $150 billion of bonds in May, but only managed to sell half of them.   Also, the Fed has recorded its first two-year-in-a-row financial loss, totaling $192 billion in 2023 and 2024. This is the first time this has occurred in the Fed's 110-year history. Year to date,  the federal deficit  stands at $1.37 billion as of the end of May. That's 14% higher than last year at this time.  Dad jumps into ocean off Disney Cruise ship to save daughter Here's a story demonstrating a remarkable act of courage and love on the part of a dad. A young child fell off the fourth deck of a Disney cruiseliner on Sunday.   Her father took immediate action, dove in after her. . . and held her while treading water, until a rescue boat pulled them out of the ocean waters. An eyewitness explained what happened to WPLG News. EYEWITNESS: “They were playing shuffleboard that was on the fourth floor. The parents were playing, and then the little girl was climbing up on the railing and flew off.” One passenger said,  “The ship was moving quickly, so quickly, it's crazy how quickly the people became tiny dots in the sea, and then you lost sight of them.” Another passenger said, “I saw the mother crying and but when they rescued them, I think that's when the tears really started flowing.  I prayed to God to save them, and He did!” The Disney Dream was heading back from the Bahamas to Fort Lauderdale when the incident occurred. Worldview teens share their hearts 15-year-old Titus Beran in Omaha, Nebraska wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com. He said, “I love the verses included in the newscast! They really help me focus back on God's Word and bring every area of life, even politics and news, into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” And 16-year-old Leah Smith in Franklin, Kentucky wrote, “I have been subscribed to The Worldview in 5 Minutes for a little over a year. I don't watch the news on a regular basis, but have been continually blessed by the ministry of this website. It is so irregular to have such a concise, non-secular newscast that makes me aware of political news, needs of persecuted Christians, and even basic information that keeps me up to date on what is going on. “When I read your newscast transcript,  I am not only encouraged by stories of fellow believers, but I am also moved to pray for the issues in our world. God is truly using your Christian newscast to reach people with the truth. It has been a blessing in my life!” What Troy's three boys enjoy about The Worldview Troy in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas talked to his three sons -- Sovereign, age 12, Shalom, age 10, and Apollos, age 7 -- about The Worldview. They said, “I like to start my morning at breakfast listening to it.” “I like how I get to hear about people around the world who need Jesus.”  And “I like that I can hear the news which is filtered through a Biblical lens.” Troy added, “We praise the Lord for all of you and your diligent service to the Lord. It is so exciting to hear about donors from all over the world who are united to us in Christ. What an encouraging example to our younger generation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” 42 Worldview listeners gave $12,534.95 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $123,500 goal by yesterday, June 30, to fully fund The Worldview's annual budget for our 6-member team, 42 listeners stepped up to the plate.

Antonio Pampliega, periodista y corresponsal de guerra freelance en muchos conflictos, nos cuenta a través de su novela "Cowboys en el infierno" en la editorial Diéresis, lo que vivió él y varios de sus compañeros en la Guerra de Siria, en la batalla de Alepo. Los latidos del sufrimiento de las personas que en minutos perdían toda su familia, toda su vida. ¿Quién estaba detrás de los yihadistas? "El objetivo en las guerras siempre ha sido manejar el relato. Lo que pasa es que los actores en conflicto no tenían manera de manejar cada relato. Ahora si lo tienen: Redes sociales. Por eso es necesario los periodistas extranjeros porque no sabes dónde puede estar la realidad y dónde puede estar la manipulación. Por eso somos importantes en terreno y por eso Estado islámico, Al Qaeda, el régimen, empezaron a cazar periodistas". 

On today's episode, Andy sits down with former CIA analyst Michael Shurkin to explore the agency's post-9/11 focus on Africa and the emergence of jihadist movements in the Sahel. They unpack the rise of Al-Qaeda–linked groups in Mali, the regional dynamics that fueled instability, and how external actors like France and Russia shaped the conflict. The conversation highlights the day-to-day realities of intelligence work, the strategic blind spots of U.S. foreign policy, and why what's happening in Africa could have consequences far beyond the continent.

In hopes of learning from the past and In light of US missile strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and subsequent retaliation in an escalating regional conflict, we're revisiting one of our best episodes on how Western media covers war.Guest Bette Dam is a Dutch journalist who covered the war in Afghanistan for 15 years. She began her coverage in 2006, embedded with the Dutch military. She's the author of two books: Looking for the Enemy, Mullah Omar and the Unknown Taliban, and A Man in a Motorcycle, How Hamid Karzai Came to Power. In the course of her reporting Dam realized that most Western journalists were providing a distorted view of the war. It left out the perspective of the Afghan people, and made the country appear more dangerous than it really was. And Dam says the press missed opportunities to hold the U.S. and NATO to account for major blunders – including largely overlooking the fact that the Taliban surrendered in December 2001. This interview was recorded in October 2023.In 2024, Dam completed a PhD at the Vrije Universiteit in Brussels on the role of Western media in conflict, where she now serves on the faculty. In February 2025 she launched UNHEARD in partnership with the Tow Center at the Columbia School of Journalism, a project that aims to help news organizations reveal potentially overlooked narratives by using AI to audit who is quoted in their articles. **Copy this link to share this episode anywhere**MORE FROM BETTE DAMTEDx talk: The shortcomings of war reportingFollow Bette on X (formerly Twitter)Music in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions, Zero V, and Doyeq.  ABOUT THE SHOW The Making Peace Visible podcast is hosted by Jamil Simon and produced by Andrea Muraskin.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Iran's nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile development pose an existential threat to Israel and American civilization, which cannot be ignored. Israel, possibly with U.S. assistance, will take military action to neutralize this threat, as Iran will not go away on its own. Iran's actions, including attacks via proxies and American casualties, demand a decisive military response, which is self-defense rather than nation-building. These radical Democrats, fifth-columnists, and isolationists lack any strategy and moral clarity. Also, the people of Israel are never discussed by the media. They face severe challenges every day, especially in Tel Aviv, where ballistic missiles from Iran target hospitals and public areas, forcing families into bomb shelters. They are in constant fear with a disrupted quality of life. Media outlets ignore these struggles and ignore the regime's history of killing and maiming American soldiers. Later, Zuhdi Jasser calls in and addresses the mindset of the isolationists and fifth columnists who deliberately ignore the existential threat posed by Iran's theocratic regime and its proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis. He emphasizes that these groups are driven by a radical theology that glorifies suicide bombing, chaos, and the targeting of non-combatants, with the ultimate goal of triggering an apocalyptic scenario tied to the return of the 12th Imam. Jasser asserts that Iran's uranium enrichment is clearly aimed at developing nuclear weapons, not peaceful purposes, and warns that the regime would use such weapons, likening its leadership to a cult willing to commit national fratricide. Finally, Sayyid Qutb's book Milestones, promotes pure Islam and strict shariah, rejecting Western values and most modern Muslims as ignorant (jahiliyyah). Groups like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MSA, and MPAC dismiss devout Muslims who oppose their views. Qutb's ideas fuel sectarian violence and terrorism by groups like Hamas and al-Qaida, and states like Iran, which pursues nuclear weapons through deception (taqiyya). Western appeasement fails to counter this clash with democratic values. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tara exposes the dangerous consequences of U.S. foreign and domestic policy, arguing that America has spent decades propping up "fake enemies" like the Taliban and al Qaeda through agencies like USAID while ignoring or funding the very regimes that seek to destroy us—Iran and China. She details U.S. complicity in arming terrorists, Iran's deadly attacks on Americans, and how real enemies are enriched while innocent lives are lost. Plus, a major climate cover-up: record-breaking ice growth at both poles goes unreported as media outlets cling to the global warming narrative. This episode connects the dots between global deception, political corruption, and a public being dangerously misled.

In this explosive two-part exposé, Tara and Lee uncover how U.S. foreign policy has been hijacked by a shadow agenda—funding and enabling terrorist regimes like the Taliban and al Qaeda while ignoring or enriching true threats like Iran and China. From nuclear escalation and EMP attack plans to bioweapons targeting America's food supply, the hosts lay bare the high stakes of refusing to confront our real enemies. Meanwhile, the media pushes distraction campaigns, including climate hysteria, even as NASA data shows polar ice sheets thickening at record rates. It's a scathing indictment of misplaced priorities, government deception, and the cost of fighting wars we created while the real ones loom.

Usama Dakdok is the Founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on the daily radio broadcast Revealing the Truth About Islam. It has become a common thing for Israelis to be woken by sirens. This morning was no exception. But this time there is shock as they learned that one of the country's major hospitals was hit by a missile from Iran. Additional sites were hit in Tel Aviv. We understand it was the hospital's old surgical building that suffered damage. CBN reported that one of the doctors indicated just yesterday that they had evacuated the old surgical building that took a direct hit. He said, "It's a great miracle." Israel's Prime Minister is vowing that the dictators in Tehran will pay "the full price." Tehran is calling for an Islamic Army to wage war on Israel. The Council on American Islamic Relations is demanding that President Trump halt U.S. weapons transfers to Israel. CAIR-NJ is condemning Israel for what they call "an unprovoked attack on Iran." The Al-Qaeda leader is calling upon Muslims to assassinate President Trump and other high-ranking officials. Earlier this month a Muslim in Boulder, CO was suspected of firebombing a group of pro-Israel protestors leaving 15 injured. He is an Egyptian national. And as reported recently on JihadWatch.org, The Council on American-Islamic Relations Director Nihad Awad is hosting training sessions to help citizens spot ICE agents and alert mobs to target them. One anti-ICE protestor is calling out "Allahu-akbar." Pew Research reported earlier this month that on a global basis, Islam is growing faster than all other religions. What's going on? Haven't we been forewarned this would happen?

On today's episode, Andy is joined by Bill Roggio—senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and editor of The Long War Journal—for a wide-ranging conversation on national security, starting with the complexities of firearm ownership in the U.S. and shifting into an in-depth analysis of the global jihadist threat. They trace the evolution of groups like the Taliban and al-Qaeda, examining how these networks have resurged in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The discussion dives into U.S. military strategy, missteps in the War on Terror, and the enduring ideological mindset of jihadist fighters. Together, they unpack what went wrong, what the media often overlooks, and why public awareness of these threats is more important than ever.

I år 2040 – om 15 år – vil staten Israel være udslettet. Det har Irans religiøse leder, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, erklæret. Hvordan det skal ske, har det iranske præstestyre en hemmelig plan for. I Iran har man ligefrem en særlig Timeglas-Festival, hvor man – med mellemrum – tæller ned til Israels forestående kollaps. Men hvorfor er Israels udslettelse så vigtig for præstestyret? Er det virkelig derfor, landet satser hårdt på at udvikle atomvåben? Det her er første del af to om baggrunden for Israels angreb på Iran. I det her afsnit spørger vi Politikens internationale kommentator Michael Jarlner, hvordan Iran forvandlede sig fra et veluddannet, vestligt orienteret samfund til en islamistisk republik – og hvordan præstestyret – længe før Al Qaeda og Islamisk Stat - spredte skræk i Vesten og udfordrede USA.

Join us as we welcome Jeremy D. Baker, former Army counterintelligence agent, Afghanistan combat veteran and author of the novel The Guilty Sleep, a thriller that draws on Jeremy's personal experiences as a combat veteran struggling to overcome PTSD. In 2000, after acing his Army entrance exam, 20-year-old college dropout Jeremy was told by his recruiter that he could pick any specialty he wanted. He chose counterintelligence because he thought it sounded cool. A year later, in the wake of 9/11, that choice proved fateful. As a soldier with the 202nd Military Intelligence Battalion, he was sent to Afghanistan in the first wave of US troops tasked with finding Osama Bin Laden, destroying al-Qaeda, and ousting the Taliban. Operating in and around Kandahar, he was the CI assigned to the 19th Special Forces Group of Green Berets, a number of whom were older and had served tours in Vietnam. Little did Jeremy know the extent to which his time in Afghanistan would stay with him and shape his life. With Jeremy as our guide, we'll learn what ‘counterintelligence' looked like early on in Afghanistan, what it was like working with Green Berets who'd served in Vietnam, the combat situations they encountered and how our 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan affected him. Jeremy will also share his experiences overcoming PTSD, utilizing the CERT method, how writing helped him heal and why the fall of Afghanistan moved him to write The Guilty Sleep, the fictional story of Afghanistan veteran Dexter Grant who is broke, reeling from PTSD, and on the verge of divorce when he's approached by his old Army buddies to help rescue their former interpreter, the man who once saved Dex's life. Lee Childs described The Guilty Sleep as being “shot-thru with hard-won authenticity and deep humanity” and USMC veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan Elliot Ackerman praised it as cutting “sharp and deep.” The Guilty Sleep (Diversion Books) is available online at all major booksellers.

REVIEW: Colleague Ahmad Sharawi of FDD confirms that the Iraqi militias condemn al-Sharaa, the self-named president of Syria, for his al-Qaeda joined violence in Iraq following the fall of Saddam Hussein. More. 1924 BAGHDAD

While people argue about what is the right or wrong thing to do in regard to Iran and Israel, the narrative is changing quicker than anyone can keep up with. Now Israel's PM says: “We will not have a second holocaust,” as if this constant invocation of trauma justifies endless wars. The bottom line is this: the intelligence agencies of the US-Britain-Israel were instrumental in establishing terrorism going back to the Soviet-Afghan War with the Mujahideen, al-Qaeda, and ISIS, not to mention the overthrowing of the 1953 Iranian government and the same thing in the 1970s; in almost every case facilitating, creating power vacuums, sparking civil war, and the like to create radical Islam in its modern context. The US in particular has financed and armed both Israel and Iran, just as Israel propped up Hamas and continues to arm terrorist groups. The bottom line is also this: the Koran instructs Muslims to never commit suicide and to never engage in usury. With eyes on these facts, something else is also missing from the equation. From Afghanistan and Iraq to Syria, Libya, and Iran, these conflicts are all aligned directly with Jewish holy days, and thus act as blood sacrifices to their tribal god, which rely on Christian and Muslim blood. The pushers of the incessant lies of WMDs and the “bomb” are also physical manifestations of demons from Collin de Plancy's infernal dictionary, i.e., wicked forces that manifest in physical characteristics. Rabbi Shmuley personifies Belphegor, Laura Loomer personifies Eurynome, Randy Fine personifies Abraxas, and Benjamin Netanyahu personifies Baal. In some cases, there are people like Leslie Wexner who literally blames the Jewish demon Dybbuk for his greed and wickedness. These demons are also expressed in Hollywood via pig orcs, slave traders, and bankers. Just as Jesus said to the Jewish leaders in John 8:44, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires.” The Mossad motto is “by deception we wage war.” This is why the reports of everything happening are so confusing: Trump said to hold off a day before the attack in hopes of a peace deal, while he also said an attack “could very well happen” and pulled embassy staff; then the US was also not supposed to have known of the attack, or certainly be in support of it, and was not supposed to have had any role whatsoever, yet also conspired via a fake feud to deceive the Iranians in preparations for an attack that was planned for eight months; then Trump was said to have given a red light to an Israeli plan to kill the supreme Iranian leader, something that a spokesperson for Netanyahu told CNN was “FAKE,” while also reports about the Israeli plan itself to kill Khamenei were “fake.” *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Follow along a Navy SEAL's firsthand account of American heroism during a secret military operation in Afghanistan in this true story of survival and difficult choices.On a clear night in late June 2005, four U.S. Navy SEALs left their base in northern Afghanistan for the mountainous Pakistani border. Their mission was to capture or kill a notorious al Qaeda leader known to be ensconced in a Taliban stronghold surrounded by a small but heavily armed force. Less then twenty-four hours later, only one of those Navy SEALs remained alive.This is the story of fire team leader Marcus Luttrell, the sole survivor of Operation Redwing, and the desperate battle in the mountains that led, ultimately, to the largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history. 

PREVIEW: Colleague Caleb Weiss from Africa for FDD reports on the ISIS and al-Qaeda assaults on Uganda and Somalia. More later.

In this explosive two-part analysis, Trump's $9.4 billion rescission bill is framed as more than just a budget maneuver—it's a strategic test to force Republicans to defund USAID, NPR, and PBS, institutions accused of indirectly empowering America's enemies. The commentary outlines how USAID allegedly funneled billions to the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and explores Trump's controversial diplomatic concessions to maintain the petrodollar system amid global instability. The second half shifts focus to ICE raids in Los Angeles, framed not as immigration enforcement but as direct action against cartel-linked money laundering and trafficking networks. The speaker alleges a merger between Democratic leaders and cartel interests, accusing them of using illegal immigration as a cover for criminal operations. Through sharp analogies to domestic abuse psychology, the piece criticizes Democratic responses to law enforcement crackdowns, portraying the conflict as a defining moment in Trump's campaign to dismantle systemic corruption and reclaim national sovereignty.

In a fiery political commentary, the speaker unpacks President Trump's $9.4 billion rescission bill—a strategic test vote targeting controversial federal programs like USAID, NPR, and PBS. The segment alleges that USAID has funneled billions to enemies like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, while Trump's efforts aim to halt these flows and expose Congressional resistance. The discussion pivots to the broader implications of U.S. foreign policy, suggesting diplomatic deals with hostile actors were necessary to preserve the petrodollar. A deeper dive into recent ICE raids in Los Angeles reveals claims of a crackdown on cartel-linked money laundering operations—described not as immigration enforcement but as a direct hit on Democrat-cartel collusion. The piece concludes by accusing Democratic leaders of protecting trafficking networks disguised as immigrant support, signaling an escalating political and legal battle over national security and immigration.

Send us a textThe threats of communist and Islamofascist violence are very real and need to be taken seriously. The LA violence was well-organized and well-funded by Marxist billionaires, and it's fixing to spread across the country; and now, Al-Awlaki, the newly anointed leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, is calling for all 4.3 million Muslims in the United States to rise up and kill President Trump and all his supporters.Immediate preparation for potential unrest and possible horrific violence is highly advised for all Americans, but more so in all the large Democrat-run cities, which are the major targets.Support the showGiveSendGo | Unconstitutional 2A Prosecution of Tate Adamiak Askari Media GroupBuy Paul Eberle's book "Look at the Dirt"Paul Eberle (lookatthedirt.com)The Deadly Path: How Operation Fast & Furious and Bad Lawyers Armed Mexican Cartels: Forcelli, Peter J., MacGregor, Keelin, Murphy, Stephen: 9798888456491: Amazon.com: BooksVoice of the Blue (buzzsprout.com)

John Kiriakou, former CIA officer and whistleblower against the agency's  torture program, discusses his extensive background in intelligence, the evolving role of technology and AI in intelligence operations, and the balance between privacy and national security. John details his experience with the CIA's torture program post-9/11, and the consequences he's faced for exposing these practices. Key Takeaways: How targeted intelligence can succeed without mass surveillance, and how national security doesn't need to mean sacrificing individual privacy The evolution of drone warfare in military options, and how its crossed moral lines The dangers posed by AI in intelligence, and the need for ethical considerations in the application of AI The current state of the US Patriot Act, and the implications of technology in media Guest Bio: John Kiriakou is a former CIA officer, former senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and former counterterrorism consultant for ABC News. He was responsible for the capture in Pakistan in 2002 of Abu Zubaydah, believed to be the third-ranking official in al-Qaeda. In 2007, Kiriakou exposed the CIA's torture program, saying that the CIA tortured prisoners, had become official U.S. government policy, and that this policy had been approved by then-President George W. Bush. He became the sixth whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act—a law designed to punish spies—and served 23 months in prison as a result. Kiriakou is the author of eight books, including The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA's War on Terror; Doing Time Like a Spy: How the CIA Taught Me to Survive and Thrive in Prison; and The Convenient Terrorist: Abu Zubaydah and the Weird Wonderland of America's Secret Wars. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About this Show: The Brave Technologist is here to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of emerging tech.
