“The ultimate defeat of Japan [will] be accomplished by blockade, bombing, and assault.”This is the story of American island hopping—or should we say leapfrogging?—through Pacific waters. By 1943, the Japanese are settled in for the long haul, no matter what it may cost. America sees some successes like new skip bombing techniques at the Battle of the Bismarck sea, but a change of strategy is needed for real gains. American leaders General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral William "Bull" Halsey launch Operation Cartwheel, a strategic campaign of amphibious landings designed to neutralize Japanese strongholds like Rabaul, Papua New Guinea without attacking head-on. Meanwhile, even though the Solomon Islands are still an active war zone, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt undertakes a morale-boosting tour, visiting every wounded soldier she possibly can. Just a few short months later, Americans win the brutal Battle of Tarawa at great cost, a decisive victory that exposes the devastating realities of island warfare to those back home. Is each tiny island in the Pacific worth this much death? Or can another path be found? ____Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com andgo deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendationsjoin discussions in our Facebook communityget news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live showget HTDS merchor become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.HTDS is part of Audacy media network.

On Thanksgiving Eve, 1943, off Cape St. George in the Solomon Islands campaign, Captain Arleigh "31-Knot" Burke's Destroyer Squadron 23 ambushed a Japanese resupply convoy in total darkness — sinking the destroyers Onami, Makinami, and Yugiri, killing 647 Japanese sailors and soldiers, without losing a single American life or ship. The U.S. Naval War College would later call it "an almost perfect surface action." This episode traces how eighteen months of costly night-battle failures in the Solomons finally produced a decisive American victory, why this battle ended the Tokyo Express for good, and why Burke's name still sails the seas today aboard the destroyers that bear it.

Episode 042 | Chris Fitch: Rewilding Our Cities Chris Fitch, author of Wild Cities, argues that urban nature does more than beautify cities. It helps them fight and adapt to climate change. Fitch tells host Craig Applegath that successful rewilding projects share three traits: grassroots passion, committed local champions, and government backing. Miss any one, and the project stalls. The conversation covers case studies from Japan, Sydney, Munich, and Wellington, and makes the case that local, visible nature builds public will faster than abstract climate statistics ever could. Fitch writes for Geographical, the magazine of the Royal Geographical Society, and grew up with a forest on his doorstep in the Solomon Islands. That early connection to nature shaped his career and led to Wild Cities, a collection of real-world case studies on urban rewilding. This conversation matters because it offers a grounded, hopeful path forward: start with your own street, and trust that small acts of attention add up.

Today on True Blue Conversations, I sit down with an extraordinary Royal Australian Navy veteran whose career spans more than 35 years of service, multiple operational deployments, and a lifetime of leadership—Fred Campbell OAM. Fred joined the Royal Australian Navy on 8 January 1982 through the Naval Apprentice Scheme as an Air Technical Aircraft fitter. From the flight lines at HMAS Albatross to serving aboard some of Australia's most iconic warships, Fred built an exceptional career supporting the Fleet Air Arm and mentoring generations of sailors. His operational service took him to some of the defining conflicts of the modern era, including Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm in Kuwait, Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks, the Solomon Islands, and Iraq in 2004 aboard HMAS Stuart. During that deployment, Fred was involved in one of the most significant naval incidents of the Iraq War—the USS Firebolt incident—a dramatic and little-known event that tested leadership, courage, and decision-making under extreme pressure. In this conversation, Fred takes us behind the headlines to share what really happened, what he witnessed, and the lessons that have stayed with him ever since. Throughout his distinguished career, Fred served as Command Warrant Officer at HMAS Cerberus, HMAS Creswell, HMAS Melbourne, and HMAS Parramatta, becoming one of the Navy's most respected senior leaders.  His outstanding service was recognised with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 2013 Queen's Birthday Honours, along with numerous Australian and international operational medals and commendations. But service didn't end when Fred hung up the uniform in 2017. Today, he continues to fight for those who have served as the President of the Keith Payne VC AM Veterans Benefit Group, working alongside Australia's only living Victoria Cross recipient from the Vietnam War to support veterans and their families. His commitment to the veteran community, advocacy, and ensuring no veteran is left behind has become his new mission. Beyond service, Fred is a proud husband to a fellow Navy veteran, a father, grandfather, rugby tragic, Harley rider, knife maker, guitarist, barbecue enthusiast, and someone who believes in giving back to the mateship that shaped his life. This is a conversation about leadership, combat, resilience, transition, and continuing to serve long after the uniform comes off. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Fred Campbell OAM Editor: Kyle Watkins

Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries Scripture, Salvation, and the Battle Against Spiritual Darkness Ep220 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 118 Program 220 Opens With Prayer, Music, and Ministry Purpose In this episode of Tony Alamo, World Pastor Tony Alamo introduces Program 220, part 118 of How to Have God's Life Living in You. He explains that listeners can request a free CD or audiotape of the message, while the choir and orchestra perform “Yes, Jesus Loves Me” in the background. Tony references the ministry's Los Angeles church and then opens in prayer, asking God to anoint the broadcast, pour out the Holy Spirit, save souls, strengthen the church, and help people understand the difference between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. Letters From Zambia, the Solomon Islands, and Malawi The first section features listener and ministry letters read by Sharon. A letter from Zambia thanks Tony for literature that the writer says is enlightening people and being distributed in streets, towns, suburbs, schools, and offices. A letter from the Solomon Islands reports that fifteen families have repented and asks for Bibles and clothing for newly converted families. A letter from Malawi praises Tony's gospel literature, requests more materials, and asks for help obtaining a megaphone. Tony responds by encouraging the distribution of tapes, literature, Bibles, and practical assistance where possible. The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Darkness Tony then begins the main sermon by contrasting the kingdom of heaven with the kingdom of darkness. He teaches that the Lord continues His incarnation through believers who walk in light, and that Christians are called to let God's light shine through them. In his doctrinal framing, darkness represents ignorance, deception, and spiritual blindness, while light represents the Word of God, truth, knowledge, Spirit, and life. He argues that the only way people can be drawn out of darkness is through mature children of light preaching the Word of God. Studying the Bible as the Source of Light A central teaching in the episode is that believers must study the Bible directly rather than relying only on preachers or teachers. Tony says the light of God is the knowledge of God, and that this knowledge is found in scripture. He urges listeners to compare every sermon or teaching against the Bible, saying that the Word of God is the only truth available on this side of eternity. He also strongly criticizes religions and institutions he believes reject or diminish the Word, presenting these criticisms as part of his attributed religious commentary. Worldly Knowledge Versus Spiritual Knowledge Tony contrasts worldly education and achievement with what he calls the knowledge of light. He says people may hold degrees, earn money, build careers, or appear intelligent in the kingdom of darkness, but still lack the knowledge needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. He uses his own background in the entertainment industry as an example, saying that before he was saved, he could help make people successful in worldly terms but could not lead them into eternal life. After becoming born again, he says he realized that true wisdom and power are found only in Jesus, the Word of God. End-Times Warnings, Prophecy, and Religious Commentary The sermon includes extended end-times warnings involving Israel, the Middle East, a false Messiah, 2 Thessalonians, the Vatican, political leaders, and one-world government claims. Tony frames global events as a theatrical deception that could cause people to mistake Satan for God if they do not know the depth of the Word. The transcript preserves these accusations and public-figure claims as Tony's statements, not independently verified facts. He uses this section to urge listeners to reject spiritual ignorance, read the Bible, and come into what he calls the light, regardless of what they have done in darkness. Heavenly Citizenship, Salvation Prayer, and Program Ordering Near the end, Tony teaches that believers live on Earth but have citizenship in the kingdom of heaven. He compares the blood of Jesus on the soul to a passport into God's kingdom, warning that continuing in sin revokes that spiritual standing in his theological view. He calls listeners to live as kingdom-of-heaven people, surrender selfishness, receive God's life within them, and be born again into the kingdom of light. The episode closes with a salvation prayer, followed by Sharon giving the ministry website, mailing address, phone number, and fax number for ordering Program 220, before Tony previews Program 221.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-15-261904 PERSIAMichael Bernstam discusses China's "colonial" economic relationship with Russia, demanding natural gas at heavily subsidized domestic rates. Capitalizing on Russian weakness, Beijing insists Russia fund its own pipelines while China signals a shift toward supporting Ukrainian territorial integrity, effectively throwing Putin "under the bus" to pressure the West. (1)Michael Bernstam explores Houthi threats to the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, which could drive oil prices over $100 per barrel by choking global shipping. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes have crippled Russian refining capacity and shipping in the Black Sea, leading to energy rationing, electricity shortages, and potential food crises in Crimea. (2)Bob Zimmerman provides updates on SpaceX's Starship test flight and the FAA's rapid approval process. He details the deployment of version three Starlink satellites, rumors of a massive new Louisiana spaceport, and criticizes a Texaspolitician's "irrational" investigation into Elon Musk's government grants for rural internet access. (3)Bob Zimmerman explains why AI is currently inadequate for counting lunar craters, failing to meet human accuracy standards. He also highlights the discovery of a potential black hole in Omega Centauri, discusses the desolate nature of Mars's Jezero Crater, and notes the mysterious, unexplained "spokes" appearing in Saturn's rings. (4)Steve Yates analyzes the Taiwan People's Party's (TPP) historic visit to mainland China. Originally a pro-identity youth movement, the TPP is now seeking political power through a coalition with the pro-China KMT. This shift complicates Taiwan's political landscape, as the younger demographic overwhelmingly identifies as Taiwanese, not Chinese. (5)Cleo Paskal exposes Chinese cognitive warfare in the Solomon Islands, where identical pro-Beijing propaganda appeared in separate newspapers. She details China's aggressive pressure on Palau, utilizing economic threats, triad activity, and cyberattacks to force the nation to de-recognize Taiwan before an upcoming regional forum in late August. (6)Charles Burton discusses the strained Canada-US relations regarding the Gordie Howe Bridge. Disagreements over ownership and revenue sharing led Donald Trump to claim a "victory" by coercing Canadian concessions. This dispute has fueled hostility in Canada, leading to a boycott of US travel and alcohol imports in Ontario. (7)Charles Burton criticizes the lack of transparency regarding Chinese infiltration in the Canadian government. He argues that Prime Minister Carney's administration prioritizes business interests over national sovereignty, ignoring warnings about espionage and transnational repression while pursuing empty promises of doubled trade from Beijing to counter US tariffs. (8)Evan Ellis reports on the collapse of Cuba's electric grid, marking the third major blackout in nine days. While the island devolves into ruin, the Trump administration weighs military action against potential negotiations with the Castrofamily, as China and Russia provide only minimal, symbolic economic and political support. (9)Evan Ellis details the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela following twin earthquakes. While US Southern Commandprovides tactical aid, the corrupt and inefficient Rodriguez government is unable to respond to massive destruction, including thousands of deaths and ruined infrastructure. The situation highlights the inadequacy of the current Venezuelan regime. (10)Evan Ellis examines political instability in Bolivia involving Evo Morales and the upcoming inauguration of Keiko Fujimori in Peru. He also notes unresolved tensions over the Falkland Islands as Argentina faces Britain in the World Cup, emphasizing Javier Milei's strategic shift toward collaboration with the United States. (11)Evan Ellis analyzes judicial cruelty in Brazil, where Flavio Bolsonaro is barred from visiting his ill father. In El Salvador, President Bukele is seeking an unconstitutional third term. Despite his high approval ratings and security successes, the move raises alarms about the global trend of abandoning democratic constraints. (12)Thaddeus McCotter reflects on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham and the rising global pattern of political violence, including the murder of a UK MP. He also addresses credible Iranian threats to assassinate the US President, suggesting that decapitation strikes against heads of state have become routine. (13)Thaddeus McCotter connects global energy prices to military strategy, noting how Ukrainian drone strikes on Russianrefineries impact domestic affordability. He warns that the Republican party must clarify objectives in Iran and Ukraineto address MAGA base concerns regarding "forever wars" before the upcoming midterm elections. (14)Judy Dempsey discusses the US naval blockade of Iran and European concerns over energy security. She argues that European leaders find Trump's policies unpredictable and emphasizes that the future must be built on transparency, democracy, and accountability to counter the rise of authoritarian models like communist China. (15)Judy Dempsey highlights increasing threats against European politicians, particularly in Germany from the far-right AfD. Despite the current prominence of "strong men," she maintains that authoritarian systems are unsustainable because the human spirit fundamentally requires freedom, which dictatorships cannot provide or permit in the long term.

China recenly test-fired a nuclear-capable missile from a submarine into the Pacific, the first such launch from a nuclear-powered vessel and the first submarine-based test since 1982. The missile, identified by Taiwan as a JL-2 with a range of some 7,000 kilometres, came down near the Solomon Islands, drawing swift condemnation from Washington even as global attention remains fixed on the war between Israel and Iran. Analysts see the test as a show of strength aimed at multiple audiences at once: Pacific nations wary of Beijing's growing influence, a United States whose alliances in the region are under strain, and a domestic military establishment as Xi Jinping approaches a pivotal moment in his leadership. The launch also comes as Chinese and Russian naval forces hold joint exercises off Qingdao, feeding into wider concerns about deepening military cooperation between the two powers. Submarine missile test puts China's Pacific ambitions on display In this edition of International Report, RFI speaks to China specialist Michael Dillon of King's College London and Clive Hamilton, author of Hidden Hand, about what the test reveals, and what it means for the balance of power in the Pacific.

Rushmore fireworks comeback and his barn-burner speech calling Communism a cancer on the Republic, to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's counter-speech from George Washington's desk blasting white Americans as colonizers while his wife skipped the celebrations for a Muslim retreat in Spain. Bryan then tracks the sharp clash between VP JD Vance and Pope Leo over open borders immigration policy, grounded in fresh cases including a Biden-era Haitian migrant killing a Pennsylvania State Police trooper, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz pardoning a convicted child rapist from Laos, and newly elected Communist Congresswoman Melat Kiros refusing to condemn a Muslim terror attack targeting Jews in Boulder. On the global front, Iran's IRGC announces a discriminatory fee structure for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the former Ayatollah's funeral reveals the possible disappearance of Iran's new Supreme Leader, and Australia continues pulling Pacific island nations away from China with new security pacts in Fiji and the Solomon Islands. Plus, Spain's solar energy collapse offers a warning to US states doubling down on green energy, Europe's heat wave kills thousands as governments block air conditioning in the name of climate policy, Taiwan brings back anti-Communist military training, and Finnish researchers confirm that kids with dogs are healthier and need fewer antibiotics.

International relations experts have been voicing concerns about China's influence for years now, and with the U.S. pulling out of a lot of foreign programs and partnerships, it's left this kind of empty hole that China's stepping in to fill. The New York Times reports that the South Pacific island nation of the Solomon Islands is getting a bunch of policing and surveillance help right now from China. Should we be concerned about this kind of thing? Brandon Amacher, Director of the Emerging Tech Policy Lab at Utah Valley University, joins the program to share his take on the situation.

The Albanese government's announcement that Australia will now receive three used US Virginia-class submarines, rather than two used and one new, has put the spotlight back on the Aukus commitment. One of the strongest advocates for the $368bn agreement is defence industry minister Pat Conroy and he hits back at its critics – including the Labor MP Ed Husic. Speaking with political editor Tom McIlroy, the minister for Pacific Island affairs also discusses this week's visit by new Solomon Islands prime minister Matthew Wale and responds to speculation that Tony Abbott could run as the Liberal candidate in Conroy's seat of Shortland at the next election

In this Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a wave of biological, political, and security threats hitting the US and the world simultaneously, from flesh-eating screwworms confirmed in Texas to a jihad-sympathizing doctor now headed to Congress. The screwworm confirmation in LaPryor, TX is the opening shot of what Bryan says will be a serious blow to America's beef supply, compounded by historic drought across the West and Midwest that is forcing ranchers to sell off their best herds. On the national security front, Bryan breaks down the newly elected New Jersey Democrat with documented ties to the Blind Sheikh and an al-Qaeda front operation in Bosnia, and explains why he believes the Democratic Party's embrace of this candidate represents something far more dangerous than politics as usual. Plus, Bryan covers the Iran-Hezbollah ceasefire unraveling in real time, a mysterious group of men working through New York City's sewer system in the middle of the night, a superseding DOJ indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center revealing decades of manufactured hate, and a major geopolitical win in the Pacific as the Solomon Islands moves to sever its ties with China.
