Lev Parnas, Ukrainian-American businessman turned political activist, and author joins Thom to expose the reality of Donald's duplicity with Ukraine. Is Russia already at war with us? Tanks aren't rolling through cities, but cyberattacks, proxy wars, sanctions, and covert operations are everywhere.

China is imposing sanctions on 20 U.S. defense companies. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Martin Nowak, a prominent Harvard mathematician and longtime collaborator of Jeffrey Epstein, was formally sanctioned by Harvard University following an internal review into Epstein's post-conviction involvement with the university. Harvard concluded that Nowak had continued to engage with Epstein after his 2008 sex-crime conviction, including soliciting donations, facilitating meetings, and helping integrate Epstein into Harvard's academic orbit under the guise of scientific philanthropy. As a result, Harvard removed Nowak from his leadership role at the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, barred him from holding administrative positions, and stripped him of discretionary authority tied to fundraising and institutional representation. While he was not terminated as a faculty member, the sanctions marked a rare and public disciplinary action against a senior academic figure connected to Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

4. Enforcing Sanctions: Interdicting the Shadow Fleet to Squeeze China. Victoria Coates details the Trump administration's enforcement of a "Monroe Doctrine" corollary, using naval power to seize tankers carrying Venezuelan oil to China. This strategy exposes China's lack of maritime projection and energy vulnerability, as Beijingcannot legally contest the seizures of illicit shadow fleet vessels. 1937 NING HEI, CHINA

The United States continues to squeeze and isolate the Venezuelan regime led by Nicolas Maduro with another oil tanker being seized, steady military action against narco-terrorist drug boats, and the recent daring extraction of opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. Both Russia and China tight relationship with Venezuela dates back to the reign of Hugo Chavez, but now Turkish relations with Venezuela have become a major source of support for the Maduro regime. Turkey being a NATO member while supporting Maduro seems raise some eyebrows but why are they so committed to any sort of investment into Venezuela. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Dr. Sinan Ciddi, senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and Director of the Turkey program, who says the tightening relations between Turkey and Venezuela needs to monitored more closely, and he breaks down what the two countries are getting from each other.

Gavin Newsom's California is a travesty for energy policies, and we can see yet another hit to consumers. The Utility companies are now limited in the profits they can make to rebuild the grid. That will SQUASH investment and get more companies to leave California, and take the jobs with them out of the State. As companies shut down and cut jobs, they also cut tax revenue, and that is going to make the financial crisis brought on by Gavin even worse.His Energy Policies have now become a complete national security risk for the western half of the United States. When you consider the corruption, graft, and greed exemplified during Gavin Newsom's Governorship, it won't be easy to rebuild California after he leaves office.1. The energy policies and challenges in California, particularly the regulation of utility profits and the impact on energy reliability.Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley discuss how California's approach to regulating energy providers like PG&E and Edison differs from other states, leading to issues with grid investment and energy reliability. They contrast California's "top-down" policies with a more collaborative approach in different states.2. The geopolitical tensions and sanctions related to Venezuela and Russia.The hosts discuss the Trump administration's actions to intercept oil tankers related to Venezuela, and the potential motivations behind these moves, such as regime change, protecting Gulf Coast refinery interests, and impacting Russia's war in Ukraine.3. The potential of nuclear fusion as an energy source, and its connection to Trump's media company.Stuart Turley discusses the promise of nuclear fusion technology and how Trump's media company, Truth Social, may be involved in developing or licensing fusion-related patents.4.

CHINA'S CHIP THEFT AND AI WARFARE RISKS Colleague Brandon Weichert, The National Interest. Weichert discusses China's attempts to upgrade older ASML machines and reverse-engineer chips to bypass sanctions. They also review 2025 lessons, noting that AI in military war games tends to escalate conflicts aggressively toward nuclear options, warning that China may fuse AI with its nuclear command systems.

CNUCLEAR PROLIFERATION AND RUSSIAN SANCTIONS Colleague Henry Sokolski, Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. Sokolski criticizes the lifting of sanctions on Russian banks for nuclear projects and highlights the dangers at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia plant. He warns against potential deals allowing Saudi Arabia and South Korea to enrich uranium, arguing this brings them dangerously close to bomb-making capabilities. NUMBER 4

Depuis plus de trente ans, les sanctions économiques sont devenues l'un des principaux instruments de la politique étrangère des grandes puissances occidentales. Gel des avoirs, embargos commerciaux, exclusion du système financier international, sanctions secondaires : la panoplie s'est élargie, sophistiquée, durcie. La Russie depuis l'invasion de l'Ukraine, l'Iran depuis plus de quatre décennies, l'Irak dans les années 1990, Cuba depuis la guerre froide, mais aussi aujourd'hui plusieurs pays du Sahel… tous ont été, à des degrés divers, soumis à ce que certains appellent une « guerre économique ». Mais une question demeure : ces sanctions fonctionnent-elles réellement ? Changent-elles les comportements des États ciblés ? Ou produisent-elles surtout des effets pervers — appauvrissement des populations, consolidation des régimes, reconfiguration silencieuse des alliances internationales ? Car à mesure que les sanctions s'accumulent, les États visés s'adaptent, cherchent des alternatives afin d'éviter la réponse frontale : troc, contournement financier, commerce parallèle, monnaies locales, crypto-actifs, finance islamique, rapprochements Sud-Sud, dédollarisation progressive... Va-t-on vers un processus de fractionnement des systèmes de paiement à l'échelle internationale ? Assiste-t-on à une fragmentation du système économique mondial ?  Invités   Julia Tomasso, chercheuse à l'Iris et spécialiste de l'Iran Camille Boulenguer, économiste et chercheuse à l'Iris, spécialisée dans l'étude de la criminalité financière et des circuits financiers illicites Emmanuel Hache, adjoint scientifique à IFP Énergies nouvelles et directeur de recherche à l'IRIS. «Géopolitique des matières premières» éditions Eyrolles, 2025.

PREVIEW Guest: Brandon Weichert. Weichert explains how China attempts to reverse engineer advanced chip fabricator machines from the European firm ASML to bypass sanctions. Chinese entities reportedly broke machines while tinkering, then called ASMLfor repairs specifically to observe the technicians and learn the intricate mechanics of the forbidden technology. The strategy is similar to a car mechanic deliberately tampering with a competitor's high-performance engine until it fails, then calling the competitor's support team to fix it—not because they need the car running, but because they want to watch exactly how the expert puts the pieces back together.

Silicon Bites Ep276 | 2025-12-19 | Tonight, a single number with regime-shaking implications: Urals crude at roughly thirty-five dollars a barrel — miles below global benchmarks, and catastrophically below what the Kremlin needs to fund its war-state on schedule. This is Russia's flagship export grade trading like a sanctioned pariah — because it is. Let's break it into three parts: what's happening, why it's happening, and why Putin's war finances are now on the clock.According to Argus Media price assessments cited by RBC and reported by The Moscow Times, Urals shipped from Novorossiysk fell to $34.52 per barrel as of December 16, with Primorsk around $36.07. Same oil, different port — same story: distress rate pricing.

Ce qui fait la Une de l'actualité, les États-Unis ont annoncé un blocus total des pétroliers sous sanctions liées au Venezuela. Pour Washington, il s'agit de tarir le financement du régime de Nicolas Maduro, qualifié désormais d'«organisation terroriste internationale».

CHINA'S SURREPTITIOUS SUPPORT KEEPS THE MADURO REGIME AFLOAT Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. China sustains the Maduro regime through loans, surveillance technology, and military equipment while bypassing sanctions to import Venezuelan oil. The state oil company, PDVSA, collapsed due to the purging of technical experts and lack of investment, forcing Venezuela to rely on Iranian engineers to maintain minimal production.

New York has become the latest state to legalize assisted suicide — framing it as compassion, dignity, and personal freedom. But beneath the language of care lies a dangerous shift: the state now authorizes death as a solution to suffering. On today's episode, we examine New York's new law, the strong warnings from Catholic leaders and disability advocates, and why Scripture consistently teaches that life — even in suffering — is sacred and belongs to God alone. We also look at Canada's experience as a cautionary tale of how “guardrails” erode once the line is crossed.

Tara breaks down Trump's bold move to block Venezuelan and Iranian oil tankers, exposing a tangled web of global oil trade, sanctions, and political funding. From Democrat-backed street protests to Iran's assassination attempts on Trump allies, this episode explains the real reasons behind Trump's actions — and why they matter for American national security and economic sovereignty.

On December 14th, two gunmen opened fire on a celebration marking the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, killing 15 and injuring more than 40. The gunmen, a father and son, have since been linked to the Islamic State. Immediately, as observers near and far were just beginning to process and mourn, bad actors rushed in to claim the narrative. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a rebuke of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, linking the antisemitic attack to Albanese's call for a Palestinian state. Australian antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal similarly linked the attack to a peaceful August 3rd Palestine solidarity march over Harbour Bridge attended by 300,000. She used the opportunity to promote her controversial 20-point plan to combat antisemitism, which would necessitate the broad adoption of the flawed IHRA definition of antisemitism, mandate Trumpian funding cuts to universities, and crown herself arbiter of acceptable speech related to Israel/Palestine in the media. American politicians quickly weighed in to express solidarity with the state of Israel and link the violence to the nonviolent Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. Some prominent American Jewish figures like New York Times columnist Bret Stephens and former US antisemitism envoy Deborah Lipstadt claimed—without evidence and before anything was known about the shooters—that the attack was downstream from use of the phrase “globalize the intifada,” a dig at New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani who chose not to condemn the phrase.On this episode of On the Nose, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel and senior editor Mari Cohen spoke with Sarah Schwartz, the Melbourne-based executive officer of the new progressive, independent Jewish organization the Jewish Council of Australia. They parsed the various responses, from Australia to the US to Israel; explored the folly of conflating the ideology of the Islamic State with Palestinian national or solidarity politics; and reflected on the role and responsibility of the Jewish left amid antisemitic violence.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Articles Mentioned and Further Reading“Jews, antisemitism and power in Australia,” Max Kaiser, Meanjin“Bondi Beach Is What ‘Globalize the Intifada' Looks Like,” Bret Stephens, The New York TimesBenjamin Netanyahu's statement on Bondi...

US President Trump is to give an address to the nation on Wednesday night, live from the White House at 21:00EST (02:00GMT Thursday).
