Victor Davis Hanson breaks this down on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Rasmussen Polls—who have been very accurate, they were in the 2024 election and they are now—they surveyed the first 100 days of the Trump administration. … Sixty-two percent of those who were surveyed that were Hispanic expressed approval. African Americans were about 39%. And Hispanics were higher than whites. “ The elite in politics and celebrities are using this idea of white, white, white, white in a prejudicial manner. It's very ironic because it's exactly what we were evolving away from in pursuit of Martin Luther King's ‘content of our character, not color of our skin.'” (0:00) Introduction (1:44) Reverse Racism Among Left-Wing Elites (2:05) Susan Rice and Political Appointments (3:17) Refugee Status and Racial Controversies (4:12) Racial Prejudices in Political Discourse (6:09) Economic Considerations Over Racial Identity (7:06) Conclusion

Former Royal Marine and war correspondent James Glancy joins The Winston Marshall Show to expose the forgotten frontlines in the global war against the West—from the collapse of South Africa to the decline of Britain itself.Glancy paints a stark picture of South Africa's state failure: rampant corruption, electricity blackouts, water scarcity, violent crime, and a government captured by radical Marxist factions. He warns of the Chinese Communist Party's growing grip on African nations through arms deals, infrastructure control, and soft power dominance. But the rot isn't limited to the Global South.Turning to the UK, Glancy sounds the alarm on the surge in illegal small boat crossings across the Channel—highlighting how Britain's borders are no longer secure, and its military forces, once the pride of the West, are being hollowed out by budget cuts, political cowardice, and institutional decay.We explore how both nations—one emerging, the other formerly imperial—are now plagued by similar crises: elite complacency, ideological capture, and the erosion of national identity.All this—CCP power plays, Britain's vanishing navy, border chaos, racial politics, and the silent unravelling of Western civilisation…Watch more of James HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@UCXQDiBz2AxH3HzuIT09g9FA -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 1:44 James Glancy's Military Background and Early Career7:32 Tours in Afghanistan and the Impact of Conflict 13:21 Strategic Defence Review and British Military Decline 37:33 Chagos Island and British Foreign Policy 1:01:34 British Military Role in Channel Crossings1:08:32 South African Farm Attacks and Racial Incitement 1:11:34 White Farmers' Safety and Media Representation 1:18:59 Complexities of Race Relations and Farming Life 1:22:20 Economic and Social Impact of Farming1:24:12 Refugee Status and Political Implications 1:30:46 Conclusion and Future Plans Hosted on Acast.

Earlier this month, a group of white South African refugees arrived in the U.S. after an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump claims the group are being targeted as victims of "racial discrimination" and has therefore extended refugee protection to the group.

Qatar plans to give President Trump a plane to use as Air Force One, which even some supporters say crosses a line. But the appearance of corruption doesn’t stop there. The Trump administration gave refugee status to white South Africans, despite no evidence they face more danger than Black South Africans.  “Uptown Girl” Christie Brinkley is out with a new biography about becoming the biggest model of the 1980s.

The ANC has strongly condemned the United States government's decision to grant refugee status to 49 Afrikaners, calling it a fabrication designed to delegitimize South Africa's democracy. The party argues that these individuals are not fleeing persecution, but rather seeking to avoid transformation and accountability for historic privilege. To further discuss this, Elvis Presslin spoke to Political Analyst Dr. Piet Croucamp

This week, 49 white Afrikaans-speaking South Africans were officially welcomed to the U.S., fast-tracked under so-called "refugee status" promoted by US President, Donald Trump—despite the UN not recognizing them as needing asylum. Critics say this is based on a false narrative of persecution, privileging white migrants while thousands of legitimate asylum seekers are denied entry. The contrast is stark: just days earlier, Trump asked the Supreme Court to revoke protections for half a million immigrants already in the U.S.Lester Kiewit speaks to Bill Frelick, head of the Refugee and Migrant Programme at Human Rights Watch.

International Relations Minister, Ronald Lamola has reaffirmed South Africa's position that a group of white Afrikaners who have gone to the United States, claiming prosecution, does not qualify for refugee status. The group is set to arrive in the US today, following a decision by the administration of President Donald Trump, to grant them refugee status. Speaking during a media briefing on the country's preparations for this year's G20 leaders summit, Lamola says the group has made a number of false claims...

Nearly 70-thousand white South Africans are expressing interest in President Donald Trump's offer of refugee status in the U.S. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

A recording of the celebratory launch of 'Judging Refugees: Narrative and Oral Testimony in Refugee Status Determination' held on 20 November 2024. This was a hybrid panel event co-hosted by UNSW's Centre for Criminology, Law & Justice, and the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, in conversation with Dr Anthea Vogl, Dr Tina Dixson, Associate Professor Maria Giannacopoulos and Professor Daniel Ghezelbash. In 'Judging Refugees', Anthea Vogl investigates the black box of the refugee oral hearing and the politics of narrative within individualised processes for refugee status determination (RSD). Drawing on a rich archive of administrative oral hearings in Australia and Canada, Vogl sets global trends of diminished and fast-tracked RSD against the critical role played by the discretionary spaces of refugee decision-making, and the gate-keeping functions of credibility assessment. About the author: Anthea Vogl is an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). She teaches and researches in the fields of refugee and migration law, focusing on the social and legal categories of the refugee and non-citizen, executive decision-making, and the criminology of border control. Guest speakers: Dr Tina Dixson (she/her) is an early career academic, advocate, and social policy professional with experience in advancing LGBTIQA+ equality, refugee protection, and responses to gender-based violence. Tina has her own experience of queer displacement, having been forced to leave Ukraine with her partner Dr Renee Dixson due to their LGBTIQA+ activism. Dr Maria Giannacopoulos (she/her) is Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Criminology Law and Justice at UNSW Sydney. She holds a BA(Hons) LLB (Hons) and a PhD in Cultural Studies and is a leading scholar in decolonising approaches to law and criminology. Dr Daniel Ghezelbash (he/him) is Professor of Law and the Director of the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law at UNSW Sydney, and an Australian Research Council (ARC) DECRA Fellow. www.unsw.edu.au/kaldor-centre

Civil organisation, AfriForum, says inspite of the organisation's opposition to recent developments in the country's political landscape, Afrikaaners continue to see themselves as indigenous to South Africa. The organisation tried to engage with the presidency on a number of these issues, including the Expropriation Act, but received to correspondence from government. The organisation says it was at this point, that it felt compelled to involve the United States of America. SABC News Politics Editor, Mzwandile Mbeje, sat down with Afriforum's Kallie Kriel and began by asking him what the organisation's concerns are with the Act...

It might seem like a tempting offer, claiming refugee status in the United States of America, if you can prove to authorities there that you are Afrikaner who has been subjected to “government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation”.

"It is very difficult, and perhaps entirely impossible, to combat the effects of brain-washing by argument" -Paul Feyerabend   Rough times seem to be a head for Endurrin as ntownship after township is falling to the horde of zombies. Sure, work has been done to eliminate the threat but the humanitarian aid has to be addressed as a final battle between the slumbering worm and its unsaitable search for the gateway to his goals.   Will the wisest of us find the correct solution to an age old mystery? Which strange allies will we message with correct intent and which of us will be at a loss of words in this episode 58 of Dungeonetics.   Again thanks everyone for listening or even being curious. Storytelling is an important part of mental health as it allows oneself the freedom to imagine as play. Play is essential in life. Luckily a collective narrative story creates a  vibrant theater for play and an earlier fundamental understanding of others and onesself.   Thanks again to Kellen for his big riffs intro, Games Brown for their still wind, and Virus Of Ideals for their Earthy days.

Episode 155: When Not to Claim Refugee Status in Canada Episode Summary In this installment of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, host Mark Holthe is joined by co-host Alicia Backman-Beharry to tackle one of the most pressing issues facing temporary residents in Canada—understanding when not to file a refugee claim. As desperation grows for individuals facing expiring work permits and diminishing options, many turn to refugee claims without fully comprehending the eligibility requirements, legal implications, or long-term consequences. Mark and Alicia break down the refugee claim process, who qualifies, and why a poorly founded claim could jeopardize not only your future in Canada but also your global immigration opportunities. This episode aims to educate listeners on the risks and complexities involved, empowering them to make informed decisions. Key Topics Discussed Understanding Eligibility for Refugee Claims Who is eligible under Canada's refugee system, and who is not? Overview of the Safe Third Country Agreement and its impact on claimants. Legal tests for refugee protection, including "well-founded fear" and nexus to protected grounds. Grounds for ineligibility, such as prior claims or serious criminality. Consequences of Filing a Refugee Claim How making a claim affects your legal status, including issuance of a stayed removal order. Why work permits issued to refugee claimants do not confer temporary resident status. Limitations on economic immigration pathways like Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs. The risks of making fraudulent claims, including removal orders and bans from re-entering Canada. Critical Considerations for Refugee Applicants The importance of credibility and evidence in proving persecution. Why significant delays in filing claims can undermine your case. What happens if your refugee claim is refused, including potential removal and the impact on future immigration opportunities. Social Implications How unfounded claims burden Canada's refugee system, delaying protection for those in genuine need. The importance of consulting authorized and experienced legal representatives to avoid misinformation. Key Takeaways Eligibility and Consequences: Filing a refugee claim is a serious decision with far-reaching implications; understand your eligibility before proceeding. Economic Pathways: Refugee work permits do not count towards Canadian work experience for economic immigration programs. Credibility Matters: Fabricating claims or delaying action can lead to irreversible consequences, including deportation and bans from Canada. Seek Professional Advice: Always consult a knowledgeable immigration lawyer to assess your situation accurately.

Quotes from the Episode Mark Holthe: "Filing a refugee claim might seem like a quick fix, but it could close more doors than it opens—both in Canada and globally." Alicia Backman-Beharry: "The presumption that states can protect their citizens is a high bar to overcome; you must provide clear and convincing evidence to succeed."

Climate change is poised to worsen the refugee crisis badly as people flee floods and fires, as life becomes untenable in places with prolonged droughts, and rising seas swallow low-lying islands. The suffering of vulnerable people has not always received much attention from the environmental community.  Instead, there's a disturbing history of people being displaced in creating parks and protected areas. As we seek a future in which people and nature coexist harmoniously, today we'll delve into the refugee crisis and the systems we have in place to resettle refugees from someone who has experienced these firsthand.  A key theme in today's conversation—this season's last episode—is community. Understanding the community in the refugee system will help us welcome refugees warmly and without backlash. It also offers insights into how we might build a community to effect the system change necessary to combat the climate and ecological crisis. If you want to support the refugee community in BC, donate or volunteer at mosaicbc.org or other local refugee organizations.

Some immigrants are applying for refugee status because they've tested positive for HIV in New Zealand and are worried the government will kick them out. Immigration rules mean people with HIV applying for visas will be assessed on a case by case basis, with all visa applicants requiring a medical check. This rule was introduced in October 2021 but before that there was a blanket ban because people with HIV were seen as being likely to impose significant costs or demands on health services. Jake McKee reports.
