Podcasts about somalian

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the debate over the n-word heard around the world has obscured one question that deserves consideration: Why was that Somalian man in that park in Minnesota? Why has Minnesota imported thousands of Somalians over the past few years? And what benefit does this mass Somalian migration bring us? We'll talk about it. Also, the Supreme Court upholds Trump's trans military ban. More major retailers are moving away from self-checkout because of all the shoplifting. And the Piers Morgan Show descends into chaos after Piers dares a woman to say the n-word. Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://bit.ly/4bEQDy6 Ep.1591 - - - DailyWire+: Join us at https://dailywire.com/subscribe and become a part of the rebellion against the ridiculous.

In this episode, we speak with Yasha Maccanico a researcher and journalist at StateWatch, a UK-based charity focused on civil liberties, human rights and democracy in Europe.    We talk about a proposed EU law that could make it easier for states to criminalise acts of solidarity with people on the move.   Yasha also talks to us about abuses of state power in Europe under the guise of lowering immigration, the externalisation of the EU's borders in Africa, and much more.    ---Get in touch---   Twitter: @FleetCivil   Mastodon: @civilfleet@kolektiva.social   Bluesky: @thecivilfleet.bsky.social   Instagram: thecivilfleet   info@civilfleet.com   civilfleet.com --- Show notes ---   For more on StateWatch, check out their work here: statewatch.org   Follow them on BlueSky: @statewatch.bsky.social Ben misquotes the late left-wing politician Tony Benn, who once said: “The way a government treats refugees is very instructive, because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.” In fact, the phrase may have been misattributed to Tony Benn.

The Council is due to approve its position for negotiations with the European Parliament. The existing law has been criticised for failing to prevent the criminalisation of migration and acts of solidarity with migrants and refugees. The new text, obtained by Statewatch and published here, appears likely to worsen the situation. ----- EU: Council lowers threshold for migrant smuggling prosecutions (July 2024, with PICUM) https://www.statewatch.org/news/2024/july/eu-council-lowers-threshold-for-migrant-smuggling-prosecutions/  EU institutions are discussing proposed changes to the law criminalising the facilitation of irregular migration, which has also been used to criminalise migrants and individuals acting in solidarity with them. The Belgian Council presidency presented a revised draft to other EU member states at the end of May, which would simplify the criminalisation of irregular entry, amongst other things. The draft will serve as the basis for further discussions within the Council, with Hungary now in the presidency role until the end of this year.   -----   Viewpoint, Hindering humanitarianism: European Commission will not ensure protection for those aiding sans-papiers, Chris Jones (April 2017) https://www.statewatch.org/media/documents/analyses/no-311-facilitation-directive.pdf   -----   The shrinking space for solidarity with migrants and refugees: how the European Union and Member States target and criminalize defenders of the rights of people on the move (TNI, Yasha Maccanico, Ben Hayes, Samuel Kenny, Frank Barat, September 2018) https://www.tni.org/files/publication-downloads/web_theshrinkingspace.pdf   -----   Libya/elmasri: including full text of Shatz/Branco submission to the ICC against Italian ministers: http://www.statewatch.org/news/2025/february/italian-ministers-should-face-justice-for-freeing-fugitive-war-criminal-says-legal-complaint/   -----   Secrecy: http://www.statewatch.org/news/2024/november/italy-has-nullified-the-right-to-transparency-regarding-borders/   -----   Tunisia: http://www.statewatch.org/news/2024/november/tunisia-no-to-the-criminalisation-of-solidarity-with-migrants/   -----   Deportations (aka returns): http://www.statewatch.org/news/2025/january/deportations-new-role-for-frontex-as-eu-pushes-for-more-voluntary-returns/   -----   Egypt: http://www.statewatch.org/news/2025/january/eu-police-cooperation-with-egypt-sacrifices-people-s-rights-and-freedoms-for-security/   -----   “Outsourcing borders” externalisation bulletin project, bulletins and documents archive: https://www.statewatch.org/outsourcing-borders-monitoring-eu-externalisation-policy/     -----   To challenge border militarisation (with partners, 2023/24), Telling the story of EU border militarisation, https://www.statewatch.org/media/4000/eu-border-militarisation-narrative-guide.pdf     -----   Europe's techno-borders (2023 with EuroMed Rights) https://www.statewatch.org/publications/reports-and-books/europe-s-techno-borders/    -----   Frontex and interoperable databases: knowledge as power?

Two figures loomed large at the Alliance for Responsible Citizens (ARC) conference in East London today. Donald Trump - whose playbook many of the delegates want to see copied in the UK - and a certain Nigel Farage.Hot off the back of fresh YouGov polling that puts Reform in the lead on 27pc to Labour's 25pc and the Conservatives' 21pc, Farage took the opportunity to repeat to a cheering crowd that there would be no deal with Kemi Badenoch to unite the right. Kamal and Camilla were watching side of stage, and put Farage's views on the future of the UK right to former Tory cabinet minister and now editor of The Spectator, Michael Gove. President of the Heritage Foundation Kevin Roberts was also on hand to explain just how much influence his think tank's ‘Project 2025' manifesto is having on President Trump's administration so far. And they also caught up with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somalian-born activist, campaigner and critic of Islam, who explains why she thinks Islamism can be defeated.Producer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel WelshVideo Editor/Camera Operator: Andy MackenzieEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

Photo journalist Guillaume Bonn has documented war, social issues and the environment for a quarter of a century. Here the Madagascan born award-winning photographer reveals the moment he thought he was about to be shot dead in a Somalian square, discusses the challenges facing photo journalism in the age of fake news, and describes the thrill of being in the wild. 

Send us a textWhat a pleasure to chat with Magdalena Sofia, an Afro-Finnish vocalist influenced by her Somalian and Finnish Karelian roots and known by her artist name, Vaskilintu, which means brass copper bird in Finnish. Magdalena shares about going through a spiritual crisis at a young age and how it eventually led her back to herself and birthed her sacred ceremonial work that celebrates the holiness and interconnectedness of all life. She also talks about the importance of re-wilding ourselves, connecting with our bodies and with Mother Earth, working with elemental voices and what it means to lose ourselves in the moment and in the sound, integrating ancestral words, spells, and chants into the present, dropping into unknown spaces and states, the deeper meanings behind her artist name, Vaskilintu, and much, much more.Enjoy!  Magdalena's website: https://www.vaskilintu.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/vaskilintumusicSupport the showThank you for listening!

It's Wednesday, October 23rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Somalian Christian attacked for leading prayer meetings Morning Star News reports that a Christian in Somalia, Africa suffered an attack earlier this month at the hands of his relatives for leading prayer meetings.  Mohammad Abdul converted to Christianity from Islam in March. He now leads multiple groups in Bible study and prayer. This angered his Muslim relatives who have violently attacked him and his family multiple times. Despite the pushback, Abdul said, “You can beat me up more if you want, but I can tell you that [Jesus] has saved me. Whether I die or not, I live to serve Him.” Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Somalia, ranked second on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  In John 16:33, Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” 2 million Evangelical South Koreans to pray This coming Sunday, two million evangelical Christians across many denominations in South Korea plan to join in prayer for their nation. Rev. Hyun-bo Son is the pastor of Segero Church in Busan, South Korea and is part of organizing the event. Rev. Son told Christian Daily International that the country is legally headed toward supporting sexually perverted lifestyles. He said, “The problem that Christians have with the issue is that if such laws are passed, then the Christian ecosystem will fail. It will become very difficult to live according to Biblical values.” Global inflation expected to drop to 3.5% by 2025 The International Monetary Fund released its latest World Economic Outlook yesterday. It expects global inflation to fall to 3.5% by the end of next year. The report expects the global economy to grow 3.2% this year and next year with the U.S. driving much of the growth. Meanwhile, China's economy may experience slower growth this year and next year. Elon Musk giving away a million dollars a day until election Over the weekend, Elon Musk  announced his America Political Action Committee will be giving away $1 million every day until the November 5 election. Registered voters in swing states are eligible for the prize and must sign a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The swing states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. On October 19th, John from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania won a million dollars. JOHN: “My name is John, and I came here to see Elon Musk and support Trump to be the next president. And, you know, when he called me, the first thing that happened, you know, I screamed, and it was a million dollars, and I was pumping my arms in the air, and I went up and actually meeting Elon. “I kind of forgot about the money for a little bit, since he's such an influential figure for guys my age who are working hard every day. It's really important to get out and vote.” Then, on October 20th, Kristine in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania won a million dollars for signing the free speech, pro-Second Amendment petition. KRISTINE: “My name is Kristine Fishel. I signed the petition. I took the time to vote early, and I think everyone should, too. The petition is fabulous because free speech, the right to bear arms -- these are things that we all have to remember as Americans how important they are and not to take them for granted. So, I think it's a way to actually bring people back to that and signing the petition. “Sitting in my seat when [Elon Musk] came on stage was so exciting. Hearing my name called was the surprise of a lifetime. It was so exciting, like, I don't win things, and a million dollars is crazy. So, I was super excited, and I still am.” Kamala: Musk “better behave himself or he will lose his privileges!” Speaking of businessman and free speech advocate Elon Musk, Kamala Harris is enraged about his participation in the election. Former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, who has now endorsed Trump, said this. KENNEDY: “Kamala Harris says that [Elon] Musk better behave himself, or he will, quote lose his…” HARRIS: “lose his privileges and it should be taken down. They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of, of, of, of oversight or regulation, and that has to stop.” KENNEDY: “And if Kamala Harris is elected, the powers behind her will quash that right.” New film exposes evil of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger The White Rose Resistance is releasing a new documentary on the life of Margaret Sanger, the founder of the abortion giant Planned Parenthood. The White Rose Resistance is the fastest growing pro-life organization in the U.S. The documentary, entitled “The 1916 Project,” is streaming for free on X until November 13 Seth Gruber, author of The 1916 Project: The Lyin', the Witch, and the War We're In, narrates the film. GRUBER: “We're going to expose and discover who the real Margaret Sanger was and how her attack and assault against the family in America explains our current culture of death and upside down world that we're living in today.” 80% of Protestants: Pastor has a duty to address current issues Lifeway Research reports 80% of Protestant churchgoers believe a pastor must address current issues to do their job. Sixty percent of Protestant churchgoers say their pastor addresses current issues in a sermon most weeks. Scott McConnell, the Executive Director of Lifeway Research, said, “As American culture increasingly includes fewer overtly Christian elements and more non-Christian ideas, churchgoers are hungry to know what the Bible says about life's issues.” 2 Timothy 2:15-16 says, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Former homosexuals march in Chicago And finally, hundreds of Christians celebrated their freedom from sexually perverted lifestyles on Saturday at Chicago's Lincoln Park. The event was led by the Freedom March whose repentant participants call themselves the Rainbow Revival.  M.J. Nixon helped lead the first Freedom March in Washington, D.C. NIXON: “We are a collection of the most wild, radical, former LGBT individuals, alongside the body of Christ, coming together in this hour to lift up the name of Jesus. He draws all men to Himself.  We've come together today to worship, to testify, and we are going to march today.” She added, “The Lord has called Rainbow Revival to go into the heart of cities and testify in the public square that entrapped, ensnared people can be freed from false identities – glorifying Jesus and making a fool of the enemy.” Romans 6:22 says, “But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, October 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes of email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Today, we're talking with veteran activist and theologian, the one and only, Lisa Sharon Harper! The conversation covers:-        Lisa's journey finding Jesus outside of Whiteness and White evangelicalism-        The centrality of advocating for political and institutional policy change to our faith in Jesus-        How respecting the image of God in all people is the starting point for following Jesus to shalom-        The unavoidable job we have to speak truth, even when it is costly-        Where Lisa finds her hope and motivation to keep going-        And after that, we reflect on the interview and then talk all things Springfield, Ohio and Haitian immigrants.Mentioned on the episode:-            Lisa's website, lisasharonharper.com/-            Lisa's Instagram and Facebook-            The Freedom Road Podcast-            Lisa's books, Fortune and The Very Good Gospel-            Make a donation to The Haitian Community Support and Help Center in Springfield, Ohio via PayPal at haitianhelpcenterspringfield@gmail.com.Credits-            Follow KTF Press on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

Both fade out as Jonathan Walton says “This is a KTF Press podcast.”]Lisa Sharon Harper: I would lose my integrity if I was silent in the face of the breaking of shalom, which I learned in Bosnia and Croatia and Serbia, is built on earth through structures. It doesn't just come because people know Jesus. Two thirds of the people in the Bosnian war knew Jesus. The Croats were Christian and the Serbs were Orthodox Christian, and yet they killed each other. Massacred each other. Unfortunately, knowing Jesus is not enough if you have shaped your understanding of Jesus according to the rules and norms of empire.[The song “Citizens” by Jon Guerra fades in. Lyrics: “I need to know there is justice/ That it will roll in abundance/ And that you're building a city/ Where we arrive as immigrants/ And you call us citizens/ And you welcome us as children home.” The song fades out.]Jonathan Walton: Welcome to Shake the Dust, seeking Jesus, confronting injustice. I'm Jonathan Walton.Sy Hoekstra: And I am Sy Hoekstra. We have a great one for you today. We are talking to veteran organizer and theologian Lisa Sharon Harper, someone who a lot of you probably know and who was pretty big in both of our individual kind of stories and development as people who care about faith and justice when we were younger people, which you will hear about as we talk to her. We are going to be talking to her about the centrality of our voting and policy choices to our witness as Christians, the importance of integrity and respecting the image of God in all people when making difficult decisions about where to spend your resources as an activist, where Lisa gets her hope and motivation and a whole lot more.And then after the interview, hear our reactions to it. And we're also going to be getting into our segment, Which Tab Is Still Open, where we dive a little bit deeper into one of the recommendations from our weekly newsletter that we send out to our subscribers. This week it will be all about Haitian immigrants to America in Springfield, Ohio. You will want to hear that conversation. But before we get started, Jonathan.Jonathan Walton: Please friends, remember to go to KTFPress.com and become a paid subscriber to support this show and get access to everything that we do. We're creating media that centers personal and informed discussions on politics, faith and culture that helps you seek Jesus and confront injustice. We are resisting the idols of the American church by centering and elevating marginalized voices and taking the entirety of Jesus' gospel more seriously than those who narrow it to sin and salvation. The two of us have a lot of experience doing this individually and in community, and we've been friends [laughs] for a good long time. So you can trust it will be honest, sincere, and have some good things to say along the way.If you become a paid subscriber, you'll get access to all of our bonus content, access to our monthly subscriber Zoom chats with me and Sy, and the ability to comment on posts and chat with us.

Lisa is a public theologian whose writing, speaking, activism and training has sparked and fed the fires of reformation in the church from Ferguson and Charlottesville to South Africa, Brazil, Australia and Ireland. Lisa's book, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World, and How to Repair It All was named one of the best books of 2022 and the book before that, The Very Good Gospel, was named 2016 Book of the Year by The Englewood Review of Books. Lisa is the host of the Freedom Road Podcast, and she also writes for her Substack, The Truth Is…Jonathan Walton: Alright, let's jump into the interview.[The intro piano music from “Citizens” by Jon Guerra plays briefly and then fades out.]Sy Hoekstra: Lisa Sharon Harper, thank you so much for joining us on Shake the Dust.Lisa Sharon Harper: Yay, I'm so excited to be here, and I'm here with a little bit of a Demi Moore rasp to my voice. So I'm hoping it'll be pleasant to the ears for folks who are coming, because I got a little sick, but I'm not like really sick, because I'm on my way, I'm on the rebound.Sy Hoekstra: So you told us you got this at the DNC, is that right?Lisa Sharon Harper: Yes, I literally, literally, that's like what, almost three weeks ago now?Sy Hoekstra: Oh my gosh.Jonathan Walton: You've got a DNC infection. That's what that is.Sy Hoekstra: [laughs].Lisa Sharon Harper: I have a DNC cough. I have a DNC cough, that's funny.Jonathan Walton: [laughs].Sy Hoekstra: So before we jump into our questions, I wanted to take a momentary trip down memory lane, because I have no idea if you remember this or not.Lisa Sharon Harper: Okay.Sy Hoekstra: But in January of 2008, you led a weekend retreat for a college Christian fellowship that Jonathan and I were both in.Lisa Sharon Harper: Yeah, I do remember.Sy Hoekstra: You do remember this? Okay.Lisa Sharon Harper: Absolutely.Jonathan Walton: [laughs].Lisa Sharon Harper: I remember almost every time I've ever spoken anywhere.Sy Hoekstra: Wow, okay.Lisa Sharon Harper: I really do. And I remember that one, and I do remember you guys being there. Oh my gosh, that's so cool.Jonathan Walton: Yes.Lisa Sharon Harper: Okay.Jonathan Walton: Yeah.Lisa Sharon Harper: You remember that. That's amazing.Sy Hoekstra: No, no, no.Jonathan Walton: Oh yeah.Sy Hoekstra: Hang on. Wait a minute [laughter]. We don't just remember it. Because, so you gave this series of talks that ended up being a big part of your book, The Very Good Gospel.Lisa Sharon Harper: Yeah.Sy Hoekstra: And you talked specifically about the difference between genuine and pseudo-community and the need to really address each other's problems that we face, bear each other's burdens, that sort of thing. And you did a session, which I'm sure you've done with other groups, where you split us up into racial groups. So we sat there with White, Black, and Latine, and Asian, and biracial groups, and we had a real discussion about race in a way that the community had absolutely never had before [laughs].Jonathan Walton: Yep.Sy Hoekstra: And it actually, it is the opening scene of Jonathan's book. I don't know if you knew that.Lisa Sharon Harper: Oh my God, I didn't know that.Jonathan Walton: It is.Lisa Sharon Harper: Which one?Jonathan Walton: Twelve Lies.Lisa Sharon Harper: Wow, I didn't know that. Oh my gosh, I missed that. Okay.Sy Hoekstra: So it was a… Jonathan put it before, it was a formative moment for everybody and a transformative moment for some of us [laughter] …Lisa Sharon Harper: Oooooo, Oh my goodness.Jonathan Walton: Yes.Sy Hoekstra: …in that we learned a lot about ourselves and what we thought about race, what other people thought about race. I will tell you that in the five minutes after the session broke up, like ended, it was the first time that my now wife ever said to me, “Hey, you said something racist to me that I didn't like.” [laughs] And then, because of all the conversation we just had, I responded miraculously with the words, “I'm sorry.” [laughter].Lisa Sharon Harper: Oh my God!Sy Hoekstra: And then we went from there.Lisa Sharon Harper: Miraculously [laughs]. That's funny.Sy Hoekstra: So I have lots of friends that we can talk about this session with to this day, and they still remember it as transformative.Jonathan Walton: Yes.Lisa Sharon Harper: Oh my Gosh. Wow.Sy Hoekstra: All of that, just to lead into my first question which is this, a lot of people in 2016 started seeing kind of the things about White evangelicalism that indicated to them that they needed to get out. They needed to escape in some way, because of the bad fruit, the bad political fruit that was manifesting. You saw that bad fruit a long time ago.Lisa Sharon Harper: A whole long time ago.Sy Hoekstra: You were deep in the Republican, pro-life political movement for a little bit, for like, a minute as a young woman.Lisa Sharon Harper: I wouldn't… here's the thing. I wouldn't say I was deep in. What I would say is I was in.Sy Hoekstra: Okay.Lisa Sharon Harper: As in I was in because I was Evangelical, and I identified with itbecause I was Evangelical and because my friends identified with it. So I kind of went along, but I always had this sense I was like standing on the margins looking at it going, “I don't know.”Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Lisa Sharon Harper: You know what I mean? But I would say literally for like a minute, I was a believer. Maybe for like, a year.Sy Hoekstra: But my question then is, what were the warning signs? And then, separately from what were the warning signs that you needed to get out, who or what were the guiding lights that showed you a better way?Lisa Sharon Harper: My goodness. Wow. Well, I mean, I would say that honestly… Okay, so I had a couple of conversations, and we're talking about 2004 now. So 2004 also, this is right after 2000 where we had the hanging chads in Florida.Sy Hoekstra: Yep.Jonathan Walton: Yep.Lisa Sharon Harper: And we know how important voting is, because literally, I mean, I actually believe to this day that Gore actually won. And it's not just a belief, they actually counted after the fact, and found that he had won hundreds more ballots that were not counted in the actual election, in Florida. And so every single vote counts. Every single vote counts. So then in 2004 and by 2004, I'm the Director of Racial Reconciliation for greater LA in InterVarsity, I had done a summer mission project that wasn't really mission. It was actually more of a, it was a pilgrimage, actually. It was called the pilgrimage for reconciliation. The summer before, I had done the stateside pilgrimage. And then that summer, I led students on a pilgrimage through Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia asking the question, “How is shalom broken? And how is shalom built? How is it made?”And through both of those successive summer experiences, it became so clear to me, policy matters, and it matters with regard to Christian ethics. We can't say we are Christian and be, in other words, Christ-like if we are not concerned with how our neighbor is faring under the policies coming down from our government. We just can't. And as Christians in a democracy, specifically in America, in the US where we have a democracy, we actually have the expectation that as citizens, we will help shape the way that we live together. And our vote is what does that our vote when we vote for particular people, we're not just voting for who we like. We're voting for the policies they will pass or block. We're voting for the way we want to live together in the world.So in 2004 when I come back from Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, I'm talking with some of my fellow staff workers, and I'm saying to them, “We have to have a conversation with our folks about voting. I mean, this election really matters. It's important. ”Because we had just come through the first few years of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Like Iraq had just erupted a couple years before that, Afghanistan the year before that. And we were seeing young men coming back in body bags and this war, which had no plan to end, was sending especially young Black men to die because they were the ones…and I know, because I was in those schools when I was younger, and I alsohad been reading up on this.They're the ones who are recruited by the Marines and the Army and the Navy and the Air Force, especially the army, which is the cannon fodder. They're the ones who are on the front lines. They are recruited by them more than anybody else, at a higher degree than anybody else, a higher percentage ratio. So I was saying we have to have a conversation. And their response to me in 2004 was, “Oh, well, we can't do that, because we can't be political.” I said, “Well, wait, we are political beings. We live in a democracy.” To be a citizen is to help shape the way we live together in the world, and that's all politics is. It's the conversations we have and the decisions that we make about how we are going to live together.And so if we as Christians who have an ethic passed down by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, and we have the 10 Commandments, which is like the grand ethic of humanity, at least of the Abrahamic tradition. Then, if we don't have something to say about how we should be living together and the decisions we make about that every four years, every two years, even in off year elections, then what are we doing here?Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Lisa Sharon Harper: Who are we? Like, what is this faith? What is this Christian faith? So that was my first real rub, because I had experienced the pilgrimage to reconciliation. I had seen, I had rolled through. I had walked on the land where the decisions that the polis, the people had made, had killed people. It had led to the death of millions of people. Thousands of people in some case. Hundreds of people in other cases. But when coming back from Bosnia, it was millions. And so I was just very much aware of the reality that for Christians, politics matters because politics is simply the public exercise of our ethics, of our Christian ethic. And if we don't have one, then we're… honest, I just, I think that we are actually turning our backs on Jesus who spent his life telling us how to live.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Lisa Sharon Harper: And so that was, for me, literally that conversation with that staff worker was kind of my first, “Aha! I'm in the wrong place.” I needed to learn more about how this public work works. How do systems and structures and policies and laws work? So that's what actually brought me, ended up bringing me a year later, to Columbia University and getting my master's in human rights. And I knew, having had the background in the two pilgrimages and the work that we did on the biblical concept of shalom at the time, which was nascent. I mean, it was for me, it was, I barely, really barely, understood it. I just knew it wasn't what I had been taught. So I started digging into shalom at that time, and then learning about international law and human rights and how that works within the international systems.I came out of that with a much clearer view, and then continued to work for the next 13 years to really get at how our Christian ethics intersect with and can help, and have helped shape public policy. And that has led me to understand very clearly that we are complicit in the evil, and we also, as Christians, other streams of our faith are responsible for the redemption, particularly in America and South Africa and other places in the world.Jonathan Walton: Yeah. So I think I'm placing myself in your story. So I think we intersected in that 2005, 2008 moment. So I've traveled with you.Lisa Sharon Harper: Yeah, we had a good time. It was so much fun.Jonathan Walton: We did. It was very good. So getting to follow, watch, learn, just for me, has been a huge blessing. First with the book, with New York Faith and Justice, reading stuff with Sojourners, grabbing your books, gleaning different wisdom things for… it's something that I've wondered as I'm a little bit younger in the journey, like as you've operated in this world, in the White Evangelical world, and then still White Evangelical adjacent, operating in these faith spaces. And now with the platform that you have, you've had to exercise a lot of wisdom, a lot of patience and deciding to manage where you show up and when, how you use your time, how you manage these relationships and keep relationships along the way. Because you didn't drop people.Lisa Sharon Harper: I have. I have dropped a few [laughter]. I want to make that really clear, there is an appropriate space to literally shake the dust.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah [laughs].Jonathan Walton: I think what I have not seen you do is dehumanize the people in the places that you left.Lisa Sharon Harper: Yeah, thank you. Yeah.Jonathan Walton: And that's hard to do, because most people, particularly my generation, we see the bridge we just walked across, and we throw Molotov cocktails at that thing [laughter].Lisa Sharon Harper: Y'all do. Your generation is like, “I'm out! And you're never gonna breathe again!” Like, “You're going down!” I'm like, “Oh my God…” [laughs].Jonathan Walton: It's quite strong with us [laughs]. And so could you give any pieces of wisdom or things you've learned from God about navigating in that way. Things that we can and folks that are listening can hold on to as things shift, because they will shift and are shifting.Lisa Sharon Harper: They always shift, yeah, because we are not living on a book page. We're living in a world that moves and is fluid, and people change, and all the things. So I think that the best advice that I got, I actually got from Miroslav Volf. Dr. Miroslav Volf, who is a professor at Yale University, and he wrote the book that really kind of got me into, it was my first book that I ever read that was a book of theology, Exclusion&Embrace. And when we went to Croatia, we met with him. We met with him in the city of Zadar on the beach [laughs], literally over lunch. It was just an incredible privilege to sit down with him. And I've had many opportunities to connect with him since, which has been a privilege again, and just a joy.But he said to our group, our little InterVarsity group. And that's not at all to minimize InterVarsity, but we had a real inflated sense of who we were in the world. We thought we were everything, and we thought we were right about everything. And so here we are going through Croatia, which had just experienced a decade and a little bit before, this civil war. And it wasn't really a civil war, it was actually a war of aggression from Serbia into Croatia, and it was horrible. And it turned neighbor against neighbor in the same way that our civil war turned neighbor against neighbor. So literally, these towns, you literally had neighbors killing each other, you just were not safe.So basically, think Rwanda. The same thing that happened in Rwanda, around the same time had happened in Croatia. And so Miroslav is Croatian, and the lines by which things were drawn in Croatia was not race, because everybody was White. So the lines that they drew their hierarchy on was along the lines of religion. It was the Croats, which were mostly Catholic, mostly Christian. Some not Catholic, they might have been Evangelical, but they were Christian. And then you had the Bosniaks, which were Muslim, and the Serbs, which were Orthodox. So that was the hierarchy. And when you had Milošević, who was the president of Yugoslavia, who was trying to keep that Federation together, Yugoslavia was like an amalgamation of what we now understand to be Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia.So he was trying to keep all of that together, and when he then crossed the lines, the boundary between Serbia and Croatia and invaded and just began to kill everybody, and the Serbs then went to his side, and the Croats went over here, and the Bosniaks were caught in the middle, and people just died. And they chose sides and they killed each other. And so we sat down to do lunch with Miroslav Volf, and in that context, interfaith conversation was critical. It was and is, it continues to be. One of the main markers of where you find healing, it's where you find interfaith conversation in Croatia and also Bosnia and Serbia. And so we, in our little Evangelical selves, we're not used to this interfaith thing.We think of that as compromising. We think of that as, “How can you talk to people and gain relationship with and actually sit down and…?” And he was challenging us to study this scripture with other people of other faiths, and study their scriptures. He was like, “Do that.” And so our people were like, “How can you do that and not compromise your faith?” And here's what he said. He said, “It's easy. Respect. It's respect, respecting the image of God in the other, the one who is not like me. That I, when I sit down and I read their scriptures with them, allowing them to tell me what their scriptures mean.” Not sitting in a classroom in my Evangelical church to learn what the Muslim scriptures say, but sitting down with Imams to understand what the Muslim scriptures say and how it's understood within the context of that culture.That's called respect for the image of God. And there's no way, no way for us to knit ourselves together in a society, to live together in the world without respect. That's baseline. That's baseline.Jonathan Walton: As I'm listening, I'm thinking, “Okay, Lisa made choices.” She was like, “We are gonna not just do a trip. We're gonna do a trip in Croatia.” And so as you're going on these trips, as you were having these conversations, you're making choices. There's decisions being made around you, and then you get to the decision making seat. And how that discernment around where to place your energy happens. So something that's at the top of mind for me and many people listening is Palestine.Lisa Sharon Harper: Oh, yeah.Jonathan Walton: So how did you decide at this moment that, “Hey,this is where my energy and time is coming. I'm going to Christ at the Checkpoint. I'm going to talk with Munther. I'm going to be there.”How did that rise to the surface for you?Lisa Sharon Harper: It's funny, because I have, really have been advised, and in the very first days of the conflict, I was advised by some African American leaders, “Don't touch this. Don't do it. You're going to be blacklisted.”Jonathan Walton: I heard the same thing, yeah.Lisa Sharon Harper: “Don't do it. You're gonna find you're not invited to speak anywhere.” Da da da da. Sometimes these decisions are just made to say, “I am going to act in the world as if I don't know what the repercussions are, and I'm just going to do the thing, because my focus is not focused on the repercussions.” I mean, in some ways, in that way, I do think that my constitution is the constitution of a warrior. Warriors go to battle knowing that bullets are flying all around them, and they just choose to go forward anyway. Somebody who cared, and not just cared, but I think there's a moment where you begin to understand it's that moment of no turning back. It's the moment when you stand at the freshly buried graves of 5000 Muslim boys and men who were killed all in one day by bullet fire in Srebrenica.It's the moment that you drive through Bosnia and you see all of the graves everywhere. Everywhere, especially in Sarajevo, which experienced a siege, a multiyear siege by Serbia. And they turned the soccer field, which at one point was the focal point of the Sarajevo Olympic Games, they turned that into a graveyard because they ran out of space for the graves. When you roll through Georgia, and you go to Dahlonega, Georgia, and you go to the Mining Museum, which marks the very first gold rush in America, which was not in California, but was in Dahlonega, Georgia, on Cherokee land, and you hear the repercussions of people's silence and also complicity.When they came and they settled, they made a decision about how we should live together, and it did not include, it included the erasure of Cherokee people and Choctaw people and Chickasaw people, Seminole people, Creek people. And you walk that land, and the land tells you. It's so traumatic that the land still tells the story. The land itself tells the story. The land bears witness. When you stand on that land and the land tells you the story, there's a moment that just happens where there's no turning back and you have to bear witness to the truth, even with bullets flying around you. So with regard to Palestine, having done what now goodness, 20 years of research on this biblical concept called shalom, and written the book, The Very Good Gospel, which really lays it out in a systematic way.I would lose my integrity if I was silent in the face of the breaking of shalom, which I learned in Bosnia and Croatia and Serbia, is built on earth through structures. It doesn't just come because people know Jesus. Two thirds of the people in the Bosnian war knew Jesus. Two thirds. The Croats were Christian and the Serbs were Orthodox Christian, and yet they killed each other. I mean, massacred each other. Unfortunately, knowing Jesus is not enough if you have shaped your understanding of Jesus according to the rules and norms of empire. So we actually need international law. We need the instruments of international law. That's what stopped the war there. And they failed there too, but they also have been an intrinsic part of keeping the peace and also prosecuting Milošević. Solike making sure that some measure of justice on this earth happens, some shadow of it.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Lisa Sharon Harper: And what are we told in scripture in Micah 6:8, walk humbly with God. Do justice. Embrace the truth. So I think that when I saw on October 7, the breach of the wall, the breach of the gate and then the massacre at the festival, I grieved. I really grieved. And I was scared, really scared for the nation of Israel, for the people who were there. And I began to ask questions, because I've learned the discipline of not dehumanizing. Because to dehumanize is to break shalom. It's one of the first things that happens in the breaking of shalom and the eradication of it. And so part of what I had to do if I was going to consider Palestinian people human was to ask what has happened to them that would cause them to take such violent and radical action. How did we get here? Is the question.And the narrative that I heard from Israel, from the state of Israel, from the leaders of the state of Israel, which had been marched against by their own people just the week before that, and weeks for like a month or two before that, they were trying to depose the leadership of Israel because they were trying to turn their state into a fascist state. I was watching that as well. Trying to take the power of the judiciary away so that they could increase the power of the Prime Minister. So what does it mean then? What does it mean that this happened? And I was listening to the way that the narrative that Netanyahu was giving and his generals and the narrative they were giving is, “These are monsters. They are terrorists. They are evil. They are intrinsically, they are not human.”And I knew when I saw that, when I heard that, I thought Bosnia. I thought Rwanda, where they called the other cockroaches. I thought South Africa, where they called Black people not human, monsters, who need to be controlled. I thought Native Americans, who were called savages in order to be controlled, in order to have the justification of genocide. I thought of people of African descent who were brought in death ships across the Atlantic to South America and Central America and Mexico and North America in order to be used to build European wealth and they were called non-human. And even according to our own laws, our constitution declared three fifths of a human being.So when I heard Netanyahu and his generals dehumanizing the Palestinians, I knew, that for me was like the first signal, and it happened on the first day. It was the first signal that we are about to witness a genocide. They are preparing us. They are grooming us to participate in genocide. And I, as a theologian, as an ethicist, as a Christian, would lose my credibility if I remained silent and became complicit in that genocide through my silence. Because having studied the genocides that I mentioned earlier and the oppressions that I mentioned earlier, I know that most of those spaces were Christian spaces.Sy Hoekstra: Right.Jonathan Walton: Yeah.Lisa Sharon Harper: And they happened, those genocides and those oppressions were able to happen because Christians were silent.Jonathan Walton: Gathering all that up, I think… I mean, we've had Munther on this podcast, we've talked with him throughout the years. When he said, “The role of Christians is to be prophetic, to speak prophetic truth to power,” something clicked for me in that as you're talking about our witness being compromised, as you are saying, “Hey, let's ask this question, who does this benefit? What is happening?”Lisa Sharon Harper: That's right.Jonathan Walton: The reality that he said, “All of us are Nathan when it comes to empire. We are supposed to be the ones who say this is wrong.” And that resonates with what you said, like how can I have integrity and be silent? Genocide necessitates silence and complicity in that way from people.Lisa Sharon Harper: Yeah. And here's the thing. How are you gonna go to church and sing worship songs to Jesus on Sunday and be silent Monday through Saturday witnessing the slaying of the image of God on earth. You hear what I'm saying?Sy Hoekstra: Yes.Lisa Sharon Harper: Like my understanding of shalom now is not just we do these things in order to be nice and so we live together. It is that shalom is intricately connected with the flourishing of the kingdom of God.Sy Hoekstra: Right.Lisa Sharon Harper: It is the flourishing of the kingdom of God.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Lisa Sharon Harper: And the kingdom of God flourishes wherever the image of God flourishes. And the image of God is born by every single human being. And part of what it means to be made in the image of God is that humans who are made in the image of God exercise agency, stewardship of the world. And the most drastic example or practice of warfare against the image of God is war.Jonathan Walton: Yes [laughs]. Absolutely.Lisa Sharon Harper: War annihilates the image of God on earth. It is a declaration of war, not only on Palestinians or Gazans or even Israel or the empire anywhere. It is a declaration of war against God. It is a declaration of war against God.Sy Hoekstra: A phrase that has stuck in my head about you was from one of the endorsements to your last book Fortune. Jemar Tisby described you as a long-distance runner for justice.Jonathan Walton: [laughs] That's awesome.Sy Hoekstra: That always struck me as accurate.Jonathan Walton: That is great.Sy Hoekstra: [laughs] Not a sprinter.Jonathan Walton: No.Sy Hoekstra: Not a sprinter.Lisa Sharon Harper: That was really pretty cool. I was like, “Oh Jemar, thank you.” [laughter]Jonathan Walton: I need that. We just in here. That's great [laughs].Sy Hoekstra: So here's the question then, where does your hope and sustenance, how do you get that? Where does it come from?Lisa Sharon Harper: Honestly, it comes from focusing on the kingdom. Focusing on Jesus. Focusing on doing the kingdom of God. And when you do it you witness it. And when you witness it, you get hope. I mean, I've learned, even in the last year, an actual life lesson for me was hope comes in the doing. Hope comes in the doing. So as we do the kingdom, we gain hope. As we show up for the protests so that we confront the powers that are slaying the image of God on earth, we gain hope. As we speak out against it and form our words in ways that do battle with the thinking that lays the groundwork for ethics of erasure, we gain hope because we're doing it. We see the power.The kingdom of God exists wherever there are people who actually bow to the ethic of God. Who do it. Who do the ethic of God. You can't say you believe in Jesus and not actually do his ethic. You don't believe in him. What do you believe? He never said, “Believe stuff about me.” He said, “Follow me.” He literally never said, “Believe stuff about me.”Sy Hoekstra: Yeah [laughs].Jonathan Walton: Right.Lisa Sharon Harper: He said, “Follow me. Do what I do. ”And that's ethics. That's the question of, how do we live together in the world?? So we do and we gain hope.Jonathan Walton: Amen.Sy Hoekstra: I like that. That reminds me of Romans 5: There'll be glory in our suffering. Suffering produces perseverance, character, and character hope. It's like, it's not an intuitive thing necessarily, if you haven't done it before. But that's great, and that's a really, I like that a lot as a place for us to end [laughs]. To get out there and do it, and you will find the hope as you go.Jonathan Walton: Amen.Sy Hoekstra: Can you tell us where people can find you or work that you would want people to see of yours?Lisa Sharon Harper: Absolutely. Well, hey, first of all, thank you guys so much for having me on, and it's been really a joy to start my day in conversation with you. Y'all can follow what I'm up to at Lisasharonharper.com. I live on Instagram, and so you can [laughter], you can definitely follow on Instagram and Facebook. And Freedom Road Podcast is a place where a lot of people have found the conversation and are tracking with it. And I'm always trying to have guests on that are pushing me and causing me to ask deeper questions. And so I really, I welcome you to join us on Freedom Road.Sy Hoekstra: Yes. I wholeheartedly second that.Lisa Sharon Harper: And of course, the books [laughs].Jonathan Walton: Yes.Sy Hoekstra: And of course, the books.Jonathan Walton: [laughs].Sy Hoekstra: Fortune, Very Good Gospel, all the rest.Lisa Sharon Harper: Yeah, exactly.Sy Hoekstra: Lisa Sharon Harper, thank you so much for joining us. This has been a delight.Jonathan Walton: Thank you so much.Lisa Sharon Harper: Thank you Sy. Thank you, Jonathan.[The intro piano music from “Citizens” by Jon Guerra plays briefly and then fades out.]Sy Hoekstra: Jonathan, that was a fantastic discussion. Tell me what you are thinking about coming out of it?Jonathan Walton: Yeah, I think one, is just it's just really helpful to talk with someone who's been around for a while. I think most of us… I'm 38 years old, but let's just say millennials and younger, we don't consume or receive a lot of long form content.Sy Hoekstra: [laughs].Jonathan Walton: And we don't also engage with people who are willing and able to mentor us through difficult situations. We're getting sound bites from TikTok and Instagram and YouTube, and we don't get the whole of knowledge or experiences. So listening to Lisa talk about, “I grabbed this bit from L.A., I grabbed this bit from Palestine, I grabbed this bit from Croatia, I grabbed this bit.” We cannot microwave transformation. We cannot have instant growth. There is no, let me go through the side door of growing to maturity in my faithfulness and walk with Jesus.Sy Hoekstra: [laughs].Jonathan Walton: There is just doing it. And so when she said, “I find the hope in the doing,” you don't learn that unless you have done stuff. That's a big takeaway. I also appreciated just her take on the genocide in Palestine. And because she was mentored and has talked with Miroslav Volf, she knows what it smells like, because she's done the work in her own history of her own background. If you have not read Fortune, go read the book. The reason Black folks cannot find who we [laughs] come from is because they were enslaved and killed. The reason we cannot find the indigenous and native folks we were related to is because there was genocide. So there's these things.And she goes through that in her book, and to talk about how to wield our stories when we don't have one, or how to wield a story of tragedy to turn it into something transformative, is something I admire, appreciate and hope that I can embody if and when the time comes for myself, when I have collected and grown and have asked similar questions. I'm appreciative of what she had to say. And you know, I know I asked her the question about not burning things down, and so I appreciated that [laughs] answer as well. Like, there's just a lot of wisdom, and I hope that folks listening were able to glean as well.Sy Hoekstra: I totally agree with all that. I think all that was very powerful. And there isn't it… kind of reminds me of when her book we've mentioned a few times, The Very Good Gospel, came out. It came out in 2016, but like I said, when we were talking to her, the stuff that was in that book she had been thinking about for more than a decade at that point. And it was very clear. When I was reading it, I was like, “Oh, this is Lisa's bag—this is what she was talking to us about when we were in college in 2008.”Jonathan Walton: Yeah.Sy Hoekstra: At that camp, but she'd been thinking about it for even longer than that. It was just like, you can tell when something isn't like, “Oh, I had to research this because I was gonna write a book about it, so I had to learn about it.” You know what I mean? You can tell when someone does that versus when someone's been soaking in a subject. It's like marinating in it for 12, 15, years, or whatever it was. She just has a lot of that stuff [laughs]. You know what? I just used the image of marinating and marinating and microwaving are very different things [laughs].Jonathan Walton: Yes, that is true.Sy Hoekstra: One takes a lot longer.Jonathan Walton: Put a steak in a microwave, see if you enjoy it [laughter].Sy Hoekstra: Yeah, so I totally agree with all that. I came out of it thinking a lot about how the things that she said thematically kind of connected to some thoughts that I've had, but also just in terms of historical events. Because I told her this after the interview, when I moved to Switzerland in 2001 I was 13, my family moved over there. It was just at the end of the Yugoslavian Civil War, which was what she was talking about Bosnia and Croatia and Serbia. And Switzerland took in a ton of refugees from that war.Jonathan Walton: Right.Sy Hoekstra: So my neighborhood, there was a big apartment complex. I mean, big for Swiss standards, kind of small honestly for American standards. But there's an apartment complex around the corner from my house that they had put a bunch of Bosnian refugees in. And their school was right down the road, the public school. And so my neighborhood in high school was like the kids playing around in the streets and in the playground or whatever were Bosnian refugees. And the combination of the three countries, Serbian, Croatia and Bosnia, used to be one big thing called Yugoslavia, right.Jonathan Walton: Right.Sy Hoekstra: And the first two syllables of the word Yugoslavia were in Switzerland, a slur for anyone who was from that country. And there was just a ton of bigotry toward them, basically because they displayed poverty [laughter]. Like they were one of the most visible groups of poor people in Zurich. And again, like Lisa said, this wasn't about racism. Everybody's White. But you're talking about like there were ethnic differences and there was class differences. And people dismissed them for their criminality, or for how the young men would get in fights in bars and on the streets or whatever, and all that kind of stuff. And then, you know how a lot of refugees from the Somalian war ended up in Minneapolis and St Paul, just like where a lot of them were placed in the US, and then a lot of them moved into North Dakota.It's like, a lot of… which is where my family's from. I've been there a lot. I hear a lot of people talking about the politics in that region. And you would hear similar stuff about them, except that it was about race. That it was, “Oh, we have crime now because we have Black people and we haven't before.” I mean, obviously Minneapolis, they did, but not really in the parts of North Dakota that my family's from. And so it was this lesson for me about the thing that Lisa was talking about, respect for the image of God in all people and how when you bring people who are somehow differentiable [laughter] from you, somebody who's from another grid, you can call them a different class, a different race, whatever, we will find any excuse to just say, “Oh, these are just bad people,” instead of taking responsibility for them, loving our neighbor, doing any of the stuff that we were commanded to do by Jesus, to the stranger, the foreigner, the immigrant in our midst.We will find whatever dividing lines we can to write people off. It can be race, it can be poverty, it can be, it doesn't matter. It's not what we should actually be saying about poverty or violence, or the fact that people are getting mugged or whatever. What we should be saying is we have a bunch of people who just got here from a war torn society. They were cut off from education and job skills and opportunities and all kinds of other things. And this is, when you just stick them in a society that treats them like garbage, this is what happens every single time, without fail. And so what we need to do is [laughter] be good neighbors.Jonathan Walton: Yes.Sy Hoekstra: Treat people well and forgive when people wrong us and that sort of thing. And we just will find any excuse in the world not to do that. And it's because we are not starting from that place that Miroslav Volf, who I love by the way, said to Lisa, is the place where you have to start everything when it comes to these kinds of conflicts, which is respect for the image of God in other people. The fact that they didn't do that in Yugoslavia led to slaughter en masse, but it still happens when you leave and you put yourself in a different context. There's still that lack of respect, and it's still harming people, even when there's quote- unquote, peace.Jonathan Walton: This opens up another can of worms. But I thought to myself…Sy Hoekstra: Go for it.Jonathan Walton: …it's much easier to say, “I just don't want to help,” than it is to say, “This person's evil,” or, “These people are bad.” Because I think at the core of it, someone says, “Is this your neighbor?” Jesus says, “Is this your neighbor?” And the Jewish leader of the day does not want to help the Samaritan, whatever the reasoning is. Right?Sy Hoekstra: Right.Jonathan Walton: We're trying to justify our innate desire to not help our neighbor. As opposed to just dealing with the reality that many of us, when we see people who are broken and messed up, quote- unquote broken, quote- unquote messed up, quote- unquote on the opposite side of whatever power dynamic or oppressive structure that is set up or has just made, quote- unquote poor choices, some of us, our gut reaction is, I don't want to help them. And if we would just, I think just stop there, be like, “My first inclination is, I'm not interested in helping them.” And paused it there and reflected on why we don't want to do that internally, as opposed to turning towards them and making them the reason. Because they were just sitting there.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Jonathan Walton: The person on the street who's experiencing homelessness was just sitting there. The one in 10 students in New York City that is homeless is just sitting there. They're just there. And so if we were able to slow down for a second and say, “Why don't I want this person to live in my neighborhood, in my own stuff? Well, I don't like change. I'm afraid of this being different. I'm uncomfortable with different foods. I'm afraid of my favorite coffee shop or restaurant being taken away. I'm uncomfortable around people of different faiths. I feel weird when I don't hear my language being spoken.” If we were able to turn those reflections inward before we had uncomfortable feelings, turned them into actions, and then justified those actions with theology that has nothing to do with the gospel of Jesus, then I wonder what would be different. But that that slowing down is really hard, because it's easier to feel the feeling, react, and then justify my reaction with a divine mandate.Sy Hoekstra: Or just plug those feelings into stereotypes and all of the existing ways of thinking about people that we provide for each other so that we can avoid doing that very reflection.Jonathan Walton: That's all that I thought about there [laughs]. I'm going to be thinking about that for a while actually. So Sy, which tab is still open for you?

So go get that free subscription at KTFPress.com. So Sy, want to summarize that main story point for us?Sy Hoekstra: Yeah. I mean, this is interesting, because when I wrote about this, which is the story about Haitian immigrants in Ohio, it was two days after the debate, and the story has only exploded since then, and I think a lot of people kind of probably have the gist of it already. But some completely unfounded rumors based on fourth hand nonsense and some blurry pictures of people that have nothing whatsoever to do with Haitian immigrants started spreading online among right wing conspiracy theorists saying, for some reason, that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating pets.Jonathan Walton: [laughs].Sy Hoekstra: Stealing, kidnapping and eating the resident's pets.Jonathan Walton: Yes.Sy Hoekstra: And the absurdity of this story was immediately apparent to me being someone who married into a Haitian immigrant family, Haitians do not eat cats and dogs [laughs]. It's a ridiculous thing to have to say, but I say it because I understand, maybe you have no, maybe you know nothing whatsoever about Haiti and you think, “Well, I don't know. There are some cultures around the world where they eat animals that we think of as pets or that we don't think of as food or whatever.” And like, okay, fine, that's true. It's not Haiti, though.Jonathan Walton: Right [laughter].Sy Hoekstra: The idea of eating a cat or a dog to a Haitian is as weird to them as it is to us. I promise you, I've had so much Haitian food [laughter]. So basically this rumor spread, Donald Trump mentions that the debates and now there are Proud Boys in Springfield, Ohio, marching around with cat posters and memes. There are people calling in bomb threats to schools and to government buildings, to all other institutions in Springfield. The Haitian population is very afraid of Donald Trump. At this point, we're recording this on Friday, September 20, he has said that he will travel to Springfield, and basically everyone there has said, “Please do not do that. You're only going to stoke more problems.”And every last piece of evidence that has been offered as evidence, which was always pretty weak in the first place, has been debunked at this point. There was one, the Vance campaign just recent, the past couple days, gave a police report to the Washington Post and said, “See, we found it. Here's a woman who actually filed a police report that says that my Haitian neighbors took my cat and ate my cat.” And the Washington Post did what, for some reason Republicans never expect journalists to do, and actually did their job and called up the woman who said, “Oh, yeah, I filed that report, and then I found my cat in my basement, and they were fine.” [laughs]Jonathan Walton: Yes. In her house.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah. And so I don't know, there have been a couple of blips like that where somebody is like, “See, I found evidence,” and then someone was immediately like, “That's not actually evidence.” There have been rumors of other rallies or whatever. It's basically just becoming a focal point and a meme for all of Trump and his supporters, immigration resentment.Jonathan Walton: Right.Sy Hoekstra: There was a story today about people in Alabama being concerned about, some small town in Alabama being concerned about becoming the next Springfield because they had 60 Haitian immigrants in their town of 12,000 people [laughs]. I don't know. It's all just bizarre. The main actual point though, around the actual immigration policy stuff, Gabrielle and a few other people, my wife's name is Gabrielle, and a few other Haitians that I've seen comment on this, keep bringing up the Toni Morrison quote about how racism is a distraction from actual issues.Jonathan Walton: That is literally what I was gonna read.Sy Hoekstra: There you go. Okay [laughs]. So the actual issue here is that there's this community of about 60,000 people in Ohio that has had an influx of about 15,000 Haitian immigrants, and so it's a lot of strain on the schools and housing and stuff like that, which those are real questions. But also, the Haitian immigrants are there because the local economy revitalization efforts led to a bunch of manufacturers coming into Springfield and having more jobs than laborers, and explicitly saying, “We need you to bring in more laborers.” And so they were Haitian immigrants who are legally in the country [laughs], who have social security numbers and temporary protected status at the very least if not green cards or whatever, have been filling these jobs, and not remotely even a majority of these jobs.They're just filling in the extra 10, 15 percent or whatever the workforce that these manufacturers thought they needed. And the story has become, “Haitians are taking our jobs,” which is absolute nonsense.Jonathan Walton: Right.Sy Hoekstra: So those are the main points of the story. Sorry, I talked a while. I have a lot of feelings about this one [laughs].Jonathan Walton: No, I mean…Sy Hoekstra: But Jonathan, what are your thoughts?Jonathan Walton: For a good reason. Let me just say this quote by Toni Morrison, “The function, the very serious function of racism, is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining over and over again your reason for being. Somebody says your head isn't shaped properly, and you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.” So along with that Toni Morrison quote, I want to put that side by side with this quote from Robert Jones Jr.'s National Book of the Year, The Prophets.“To survive this place, you had to want to die. That was the way of the world as remade by the Toubab.” Toubab is a Western and Central African word for colonizer, European. “They push people into the mud and then call them filthy. They forbade people from accessing knowledge of the world, and then called them simple. They worked people until their empty hands were twisted and bleeding and can do no more, than they called them lazy. They forced people to eat innards from troughs, and then called them uncivilized. They kidnapped babies and shattered families and then called them incapable of love. They raped and lynched and cut up people into parts and called the pieces savages. They stepped on people's throats with all of their might and asked why the people couldn't breathe.”“And then when people made an attempt to break the foot or cut it off one they screamed, “Chaos,” and claimed that mass murder was the only way to restore order. They praised every daisy and then called every blackberry a stain. They bled the color from God's face, gave it a dangle between its legs, and called it holy. Then when they were done breaking things, they pointed to the sky and called the color of the universe itself a sin, [black]. And then the whole world believed them, even some of Samuel's [or Black] people. Especially some of Samuel's people. This was untoward and made it hard to open your heart to feel a sense of loyalty that wasn't a strategy. It was easier to just seal yourself up and rock yourself to sleep.”That to me, like those two quotes together. So the Son of Baldwin, Robert Jones Jr, great follow on Substack and that quote from Toni Morrison, an iconic Black female writer, wrote Beloved, The Bluest Eye, those two things together, like what racism does to a person. The giving up, the I just, “What can I do?” and the distraction for the people who do have effort, are just two roads that I wish we just didn't have to go down. But most people will spend our energy either resigned because we've spent too much or pushing against the lie as the powers that be continue to carry out genocide, continue to extract limestone from Haiti, continues to extract resources from Haiti, continue to destroy African economies through extraction in the Congo and Benin and all the places.And so my prayer and longing is that the resilience of the Haitian people and the legacy of Toussaint and all of that would be present in the people that are there and the diaspora. And I believe that is true. And I pray for safety for all of the people that still have to live in this, what is fastly becoming a sundown town.Sy Hoekstra: Right.Jonathan Walton: It's a very real thing. And I talked to someone else. Oh, actually [laughs], it was a DM on Instagram that I sent to Brandy, and she agreed that there's a lot of PTSD from when Trump was president, because things like this got said every day.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Jonathan Walton: All the time. And downstream of rhetoric are real actions, like lawyers and taxi drivers being mobilized to go to the airport to try and get the, quote- unquote, Muslim banned people now representation and get them to their destinations. You had very real terrible child separation that happened, that children are still separated from their families right now. And so downstream of all this stuff, are real, real concrete actions. And I am praying that… my daughter asked me this morning, Maya, she said, “Do I want Trump to win, or do I want Harris to win?” And I said, “Maya, I hope that Trump does not win.” She goes “Well, if Harris wins, will it be better?”I said, “It depends on who you ask, but I think there will be a better chance for us to move towards something more helpful if Trump does not win.” And then she said she knew some people who are supportive of Trump, and I told her things that her eight year old brain cannot handle.Sy Hoekstra: But wait, what does that mean? [laughs]Jonathan Walton: I just started breaking down why that is because I couldn't help myself.Sy Hoekstra: Oh, why people support him.Jonathan Walton: Why people would support him.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah, okay.Jonathan Walton: And then she quickly pivoted back to Story Pirates, which is a wonderful podcast about professional improvisational actors telling kid stories like Cecily Strong and things like that. It's hilarious. But all that to say, I think this is a prime example of the type of chaos and environment that is created when someone like Trump is president and the cameras are on him at all times. And I hope that is not the reality, because he absolutely does not have any meaningful policy positions besides Project 2025. I don't know if you saw… I'm talking a lot. He was in a town hall in Michigan, and someone asked him what his child care policies were. Like what actionable policy does he have? And he said a word salad and a buffet of dictionaries that you don't know what he was talking about.Sy Hoekstra: [laughs].Jonathan Walton: It was nonsense that somehow ended up with immigration being a problem.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Jonathan Walton: And so I think that the worst factions of our country will have a vehicle to live out their worst fantasies about deportations and violence and racism, White supremacy and patriarchy and all those things, if he becomes president. And that's really sad to me, and I think it's a preview of that is what's happening in Springfield right now.Sy Hoekstra: Here's another angle on this. And it fits into everything you just said, but it's just from a different angle, bringing a little bit of Haitian history here. The Haitian Revolution is probably, I can't say that I've read everything to guarantee this, is probably the greatest act of defiance against White supremacy that the world has ever seen. For those who don't know, it happened right after the American Revolution, it was just the enslaved people of the island of Saint-Domingue, which is now Haiti in the Dominican Republic, rising up and overthrowing the French and taking the island for themselves and establishing, like writing the world's second written constitution and establishing basically the world's second democracy.Really the world's first actual democracy [laughs] if you think about how American democracy was restricted to a very small group of people. If you read things that people in colonial governments or slave owners throughout the Western Hemisphere wrote and like when they spoke to each other about their fears over the next decades before slavery is abolished, Haiti is constantly on their minds.Jonathan Walton: Right.Sy Hoekstra: They never stop talking about it. It's actually mentioned in some of the declarations of secession before the Civil War. When the states wrote why they were seceding, it was like, “Because the Union wants Haiti to happen to us.” For the plantation owners to be killed. It was an obsession, and so the colonial powers in Europe, you may have read some of the work that the New York Times did in the New York Times Magazine last year, maybe it was two years ago, about this. But the amount of energy from European powers that went into making sure that Haiti as a country never had access to global markets or the global economy, that they were constantly impoverished.They were still finding ways to extract money from Haiti, even though it was an independent country. The fact that the US colonized Haiti for almost 20 years in the early 20th century, like the ways that we have controlled who is in power in their government from afar. We've propped up some of the most brutal dictators in the history of the world, honestly. We have been punishing and making sure that everybody knows that the defiance of white supremacy that Haiti showed will never be tolerated.Jonathan Walton: Right.Sy Hoekstra: And so it is so easy for Haitians at every stage to become a scapegoat for whatever anxiety we have about the world becoming less White, the world becoming less of like under our control. Haitian immigrants were the reason that we started using Guantanamo Bay as a prison. They were the first people that we ever imprisoned there. We changed our policies, we like… Do you know for a long time, they wouldn't let Haitian people donate blood in America?Jonathan Walton: Yes.Sy Hoekstra: Because we said they'd had HIV. They had dirty blood, is what we said about them for years. Haiti is not at the bottom because of its choice. That's what we're constantly telling ourselves. Pat Robertson went on his show after the earthquake in 2010, and said the reason that these things still happen to Haiti is because they did Voodoo before their revolution, because they're pagans or whatever. We will make up any reason to not just take responsibility. Again, like with the Bosnians, the Somalis, we make up any reason to not just take responsibility for our actions.Jonathan Walton: Right.Sy Hoekstra: And this is just a continuation of that. And I don't know that I have a further point beyond that, other than to say, everything that Trump and Vance and the Proud Boys and all of them are doing in Springfield right now is just a continuation of that. “You're immigrants that we will call illegal, even though you're not right and you are Black. Your whole pride in your culture and your history is about the way that you defied White supremacy, and you're foreign to us, and you are strange. And we will say that you do things like eat cats that you don't do, and we will just believe it, because we don't actually want to know anything about you other than that you are a monster who defies the way that the world should be ordered.”Jonathan Walton: Yep.Sy Hoekstra: I'm trying to stop myself from tearing up right now, and I don't know that I have points beyond this. Do you know what I mean? I'm just angry because this is like people, this is my wife and my daughter. I'm probably just taking time now to do what I should have done earlier in this process, which is just feel all the sadness and the anger. But that is what I feel. The Trump and Vance and the people that are a part of his movement are just horrifying. The fruit of their way of seeing the world is just evil, and I think that's where I'm leaving it for now [laughs].Jonathan Walton: Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places. And the very thing that Haitian people are called, evil, voodoo all those things, is what White supremacy is.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Jonathan Walton: That is evil, and that is wicked, and it has been at work for centuries. And in Jesus name, as Connie Anderson would pray in the work she does with White people around White supremacy and leaving that behind, and she says she just prays that it would be overthrown. That demonic power would be overthrown, and people would be disobedient to that leaning.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah.Jonathan Walton: And I pray the same would be true for many, many people before and after the polls close on November the 5th.Sy Hoekstra: Yeah. So in the newsletter, I put an email address where you could send a PayPal donation to the local Haitian community center. We'll have a link to that in the show notes too. The Haitians on the ground, especially some of the pastors and the churches there, are doing some incredible work to try and keep the peace. I think people have been overlooking that. There was a decent Christianity Today article on kind of what's going on the ground in Ohio, but it really focused on what the local White churches are doing to help [laughs].Jonathan Walton: Right.Sy Hoekstra: And I really need people to focus on the Haitians, like what is actually happening there, and the fact that there are White supremacists marching around the town. And how terrifying that has to be for them, and how the people who are doing the work to keep the peace there are heroic, and they should not have to be. And they deserve all of our support and all our prayers. So I appreciate anything that you can, any intercession that you can do, any money that you can give. Any support that you can be. Any help that you can be just spreading the truth to people who may not be wanting to hear it or who might not be hearing it from their news sources right now,Jonathan Walton: Right.Sy Hoekstra: We're gonna end there, then.

In 1987, an unknown 18 year-old Somalian model called Waris Dirie, walked into the studio of renowned British photographer Terence Donovan.She had never had her picture taken before but after striking her first pose it was clear belonged in front of the lens. Although she says modelling was “easy-peasy” it was not an obvious career path for Waris. She was born in the Somalian desert to a nomadic family. When she was young she was forced to undergo female genital mutilation after which her family arranged a marriage for her.Waris tells Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty how she walked barefoot across the Somalian desert to escape child marriage and how she became an international supermodel sensation.Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Waris Dirie.

The Olympics is all about flying the flag for your home country, shoulder to shoulder with your team-mates. But what if you have no team-mates? At this year's Olympic games, four countries had just ONE competitor. Like Sean Gill from Belize, Somalian runner Ali Idow Hassan, or Romano Püntener, a mountain-biker representing Liechtenstein.This got us thinking about The Only One. The panel discuss what it must be like to be an ‘Endling' – the last remaining animal of an otherwise extinct species, and wonder if there might be ways to bring them back. We delve into the intriguing psychology behind the urge to collect things, why collectors are so entranced by rare items, and how the psychological pull of ‘exclusivity' and ‘limited editions' can make us vulnerable to marketing scams.And what about a baby, born of only one parent? A ‘virgin birth' – a miracle perhaps? Not so, as we discover that females giving birth without any help from males is surprisingly common! It's called ‘Parthenogenesis', and although humans can't do it, a dizzying array of animals can. Alexis Sperling from the University of Cambridge explains the science.News montage sources: Channel 5 Belize, BBC NewsPresenter: Marnie Chesterton with Chhavi Sachdev and Andrada Fiscutean Producer: Emily Knight with Florian Bohr, Julia Ravey Sound engineer: Emily Preston

Shownotes and Transcript Our latest interview with Tommy Robinson covers the recent events in the UK, where Tommy talks about his interactions with various media outlets and the attacks he's facing from the government and police forces. He discusses the rallies he has organized and how they were managed peacefully despite challenges. Tommy also delves into the manipulation of mainstream media to portray the protests as far-right extremism rather than addressing the concerns of British citizens. He highlights the double standards in how the authorities handle different groups and the bias in labelling demonstrations. Tommy shares his experience of being detained under counterterrorism legislation, where he was interrogated without the right to remain silent and pressured to reveal sensitive information regarding his work as a journalist. He emphasizes the abuse of power and lack of evidence to support the accusations against him. Tommy also addresses the recent riots in Southport and the media's portrayal of him as instigating violence, which has put his life at risk. The conversation shifts to the role of social media, especially platforms like X (Twitter) and the impact of individuals like Elon Musk in supporting free speech. Tommy reflects on the support he has received from various figures and the importance of amplifying voices like his to challenge the narrative created by mainstream media. He acknowledges the danger he faces for exposing truths and the need for open discussions to combat censorship and control of information. Tommy expresses gratitude for the opportunity to tell his story, including his interview with Jordan Peterson, which he believes can contribute to a cultural revolution in Britain.

Which is a great opportunity because at the minute I've got I'm under a full-on attack where of total lies total lies saying I instigated that I encourage violence all these did from my sun lounger which is I fled the country because of the riots it's all lies there's no evidence to back up any word of what they're saying but they've put a massive target on me huge there's now Somalian's making videos to murder me there's men doing videos of machine guns saying they're going to kill me all of this slander and this these lies are propagated by my government and police force so every video I've put luckily I've still got a platform here on X I've been able to show people here's what they're saying and here's what I said I've called for non-violence people protests I've actually said you're moronic put the bricks down I've told older men to go get hold of the youth take their masks off they're going to go to jail they're angry young men they're angry because their country is being destroyed they're being neglected they've been forgotten they're angry and I understand their anger so I've been saying look you need to show them we had two successful rallies one on the 1st of June one on the 27th of July just before these riots we had 100,000 people there they weren't they weren't. They weren't peaceful because, they were peaceful because we managed it. We harnessed and directed that anger into a festival of celebration and showed people, let us be your voice. What you're seeing the week after that is a rudderless ship, a total rudderless ship with no leadership and organic. They want to portray this organized far-right network. They weren't an organized far-right network. network there was individuals in towns and cities across the country coming out in the streets. Outraged at what they've been made to watch not just for a day or a week but decades and anger spilled over so and what they've done what they've successfully done when I look at now by the government rather than have to talk about one or any issue of open border mass migration filling all the hotels not giving winter um not uh taking away from the old age pensioners when they can't can't afford their heating. They haven't had to address any of these issues, immigration, knife crime, terrorism. They've not had to talk about any of it because they've just gone far right, English feds league. They've resurrected an organisation that's been dead for 10 years and then they've used their propaganda in the media to pump it across the whole nation that there's a hundred far right riots planned when there wasn't one. There was one peaceful demonstration planned that night in Ormshaw and it was totally peaceful. So they created this hysteria and then literally their propaganda machine of the national media run the same front page across every single newspaper in our land run the same front page about defeating the racist extremists so they managed to paint the entire situation as racial and extremism rather than concerned British citizens sick to death of being ignored so their machine and what they've done and then point it all at me so then they can justify whatever imprisonment or whatever they want to throw at me, locking people up for 26 months for shouting aggressively at police, that you can stand in the centre of London and you can stand under the platform of Hizb ut Tahrir, the prescribed terrorist organisation, and you can call for jihad and Muslim armies and the Metropolitan Police Force will put out a statement saying there's plenty of different meanings of jihad. They'll defend your right to do that, but they'll lock you up for 26 months if you shout, if you're angered by the death and murder of three young girls. I want to get into that and obviously how you've been a target for, certainly not as much, I haven't seen this attack on you for many, many years. So this is a new, and people can obviously read your stories, Enemy of the State, the first book. You need Enemy of the State, new and improved, but that's in silenced, the second book. All the links are in the description. But can I, first of all, before how you fit into this and how you become once again a target of the state, what kind of sparked this all from last Monday for the WarRoom Posse, the US viewers who've got bits of this, your assessment from actually what happened from the beginning of last week? When this goes out on Monday, it'll be two weeks ago. Okay. What day did the riot start in Southport? What day? Was it the Tuesday or Wednesday after? I think. I don't know. I need to check. Was it so I we held a rally 100 000 people the biggest gathering of patriots Britain's ever seen and we we know the infiltrators like January 6th we know that the security services would want to disrupt in fact anyone listening to this google special demonstration squad these are organizations that the British government use and they go into peaceful demonstrations and they provoke violence And they send in agitators to create the scene that they want. So they don't want a 100,000 multi-ethnic, different religions, diverse group of the British public having a voice. They don't want that. What they want is loads of people labelled as hooligans, folks on far right, who are easy to dismiss, which means all of their policy failures, they do not have to have a discussion about. But they've met that they've seen what we've done we have combined men and what our instruction was to the men of England and Britain who were on the streets at both of our demonstrations if anyone turns up with face coverings we will confront them ourselves so we within our own crowd if you get four or five men because they can't do it bare face because people find out who the security service are who they're because they'll get found out now within there so every one of these like Like in America, like here, like Antifa, like all these groups, they dress in total black, all black, and then they go smash things up and they provoke a riot. But it was impossible to do that on our demonstrations because we put out the instructions to all of our lads from all over the country. Every football club had representations there. We had the tough men from England. The instruction was if anyone turns up with their face covering, pull their face covering off and pull them up and say, what are you doing? If anyone tries to instigate violence, we'll deal with them. And we told the police this in the build up to the meeting. So you're not going to be needed because if anyone comes there for violence, we will sort them out because we're not going to allow them to commit violence in our name, our demonstration. And we and that would have sent a message to the establishment that would have scared them they were terrified that they couldn't control how this group were portrayed and the reason they couldn't control it because even though the mainstream media on the day of the 27th and the day of the 1st of June where there was no arrest no trouble no violence even though they pumped headlines saying football hooligans fucked we had nearly a million people watching each one live on X and we invited and gave press passes to every citizen journalist there is every rising star of citizen journalists they were who we focused on we give them the we give them first treatment we told the mainstream go away yeah you're not welcome here okay because you're just gonna lie we know what you're here to do so that day both those days which they can't control very fast across all social medias and everywhere was a real portrayal of our movement which was a beautiful coming together to celebrate British culture and British identity it wasn't far right it wasn't racism wasn't fucked and their weapon of the media wasn't successful in demonizing targeting us so we had these events we went from 30,000 to 100,000 I guarantee the next one will be 250,000 so what do they do at that point what do they do well I probably get to the docks the next day. So we're talking about Sunday and I'm detained under counterterrorism legislation, so I'm detained. I think you're a terrorist that was new to me Tommy New to me mate no no No, in fact, let me tell you their words. The officers who detained me, first thing they done was took my phone and they said, you're not under arrest, but this legislation means you're detained. So I said, am I free to go? No, you're not. They said, but this is what matters. You do not have a right to remain silent. You have no right. So they showed me the legislation paperwork and what it says, as they read it out, is we believe that you may be in the preparation or involved in a preparation investigation of terrorism. And then they said, we don't. We know you're not. Both of them said it. We know you're not. But this legislation gives us the opportunity at airports and borders to put you in for six hours we've got from the start of when we started interviewing you. We have six hours. You do not have a right to remain silent. And they'd already taken my phone. So and to make you aware, you have to give us the the password on your phone so we can download every bit of data from it. And I said, and I was upset. I was obviously pissed off. I said, you've got genuine terrorists that you're not monitoring. Genuine people flying terrorist organisation flags across our capital since October 7th that you're not prosecuting. But here you've got me, and I'm sat here now under terrorism legislation. And then they start asking me questions. So then they sit me down. They take me in. They sit me down. And then they start asking me questions. Questions such as, what's the next stage of planning for your movement? I said, so I have to answer this. So what happens if I don't answer this? If you don't answer this, you're guilty of a terrorism offence. So it's basically a fishing expedition to find out what you're up to. Total fishing expedition to find out what I'm up to, who's involved, what our plans are. Which I said, one of their questions is, what's your opinion of the UK? I said, honestly, a totalitarian shithole. That's what my opinion is. And they said, well, can you explain that? I said, I'm sat here under counter-terrorism legislation, and you know I'm not a terrorist. Is you've got me in here so you can ask me questions about my legal lawful activity and work as a journalist so you can dig which is not which is not you're you're absolutely abusing your rights here you're abusing your power and you're taking my rights away from me but I went through and I had to answer their questions one of the questions was how do you think you're going to stop the great replacement so is this is this for real yeah is this actually for real and then Another question was, why can't there be a two-state solution in Palestine? I just said, but I kept asking him the questions. I said, okay, would you give ISIS a statement? Simple question, would you support a state for ISIS to be in total governance and control of? If the answer's no. And then, so we're going back and forward. Six hours they groomed me for, six hours, yeah. Then they come in and said, right, we're giving you an opportunity. And by this time, because they'd sat me there for an hour first before the interview, I'd read their paperwork. Now, they weren't allowed to question me on anything that would reveal sources of information for my journalism, because they're not allowed to know your sources. At which point, when they said, give us a pin code for your phone, I said, you know, I'm a journalist. I'm a full time journalist. You know, that's my work phone. So every bit of information that's on it, you're not having. And I'm explaining to them, I said, let me tell you why you're not having it. Because I have dealt with grooming gang, which is Islamic jihad rape gangs, yeah? I have dealt with the survivors of them to put together a five-part series so far, and I'm working on episode six. Episode six, we expose a politician, one of your Labour politicians, who's involved, yeah? So we have covert recordings. We all set up for my work. Also, these girls don't trust you, but they put their trust in me. So they want to have a voice. The reason why they don't trust you is because we've already exposed your senior ranking police officer in Telford was taking money off the gangs. We've done that in episode two or episode one. We've also, we know from government reports now that your police officers were destroying evidence in Rotherham. We know that they were collapsing cases in Manchester after the death of a 15-year-old girl. We know that your officers have cooperated and operated to conspire to hide these cases and these facts that's a fact that's not my opinion that's a fact so what you're asking have any. Police been prosecuted for the evidence you produce in those films none they haven't even Done it no they've ignored it so the mainstream media of course none and then even they said I said now in one of our episodes that we showed you in telford your police gave the gangs the location of the girl. So you want me to give you the pin code for my phone? I'm just saying this out loud so you understand how ridiculous this is. You want me to endanger the sources of information because that's what it's going to do. You're going to put it on your little computer system that every Muslim police officer in the country has access to. I said, I'm sorry, lads. I'm not willing to do that. And I don't believe you have a right to do that because you know I'm a journalist. So I'm not giving you the pin code for my phone. well now we're going to move from detaining you to arresting you you're arrested under blah blah blah the terrorism act and you will now be transferred to a police station to undergo to to undergo interview under caution and you will then be charged so I said okay so be it then that's that's how I'm not and again if this is meant to be worrying for me you need if you want to prosecute me as a terrorist you prosecute me as a terrorist I'm not going to let these girls down and I'm not going to let any source of information down that's helped me expose your corruption or politicians corruption especially and then there are even they asked me so but and I said information on that phone is legally privileged I'm back and forward you're prosecuting me as you know for contempt of court I have information on there about my case going back and forward with my lawyer and they asked me in the interview in the interview they asked me I had a case um Justice Nicklin where so basically they're doing me for contempt of Court for showing a film. Now, new evidence has come to light since the conviction that Justice Nicklin fell out with his own father, who's a supporter of me. So they would love access to my phone. Of course they would, yeah? Because they're preparing to send me to jail for a film which has now had 42 million views. So they're pretty upset, yeah? But so I said, this is counterterrorism. So they then transferred me to a police station where I'm waiting for my lawyer. I then underwent an interview where I explained exactly the same again. You are not having access to my privileged information and you're not having access to sources of information. So I'm sorry, you're not going to have access to my phone. At which point, and my solicitor had been told I was being charged. I'd been told I was being charged because it's pretty black and white. If you don't give them your PIN code, you're guilty. So this was. On the Sunday. They want to charge you after their six hours of terrorism investigation. And they took me at eight in the morning, half eight in the morning. And by the time I got to interview, so I'd had six hours, and I'm at a police station. They put me back in the cell after interview, and I'm waiting to be charged and get my court date. And they're obviously outside. I don't know what's going on outside of the cells, but this is blowing up. People are outside down the street, I believe. There's 7 million views on the fact I've been arrested on X, which again, remember, if we didn't have X, they'd have total control of the narrative. So they could tell people what they want. And I saw the interview with Nigel Farage. And this is the problem. When you elect politicians who are supposed to represent the people and supposed to be counter to the establishment, room he just parrots the establishment's message every time every time so his own reform voters would have been contacting his party they've got five five members saying this is an abuse of power yeah which it totally is and when Nigel Farage was interviewed on trigonometry he said well we got told it was due to terrorism but it wasn't it was a passport violation well that's nonsense and he knows that's nonsense because our forms as soon as I got out so I get out at 11 o'clock at 11. Morning to night. Morning to night. And they didn't charge me. So my solicitor said, something's gone on here. We know you were getting charged that why haven't they charged you? And I don't think they charged me because the embarrassment of it. And because actually, because I'm a journalist, it's a very difficult case for them because you can't have access to my work phone. Yeah. And this is going to go to court if you charge me. The public are going to watch it. You're going to have to admit what you've already said is that you know I'm not a terrorist. You know I'm not involved in terrorism. So you're blatantly abusing the powers that you have. Now, the problem is, it's like the Patriots Act in the United States. They we have mass problems from open border immigration so they bring in ideologies that wish to destroy our nation destroy our people they act in a certain way jihad bombs beheadings stabbings they do all this then the government bring in new law and legislation which they tell us is to tackle them but then they use it to tackle anyone who embarrasses them or challenges their narrative or exposes their own corruption so that's what they're doing and that's what this was and I was bailed unconditional bail so there's been a lot of talk that I fled the country because of the riots so let's just get the timeline in frame here yeah I'm at a demonstration on Saturday I'm meant to have been out of the country on the sun no I'm at a demonstration on Sunday Saturday I should have been leaving the country Saturday morning I had a pre-planned holiday booked 18 months prior to this with my three children yeah so i wasn't fleeing the country because of riots, because they hadn't started yet, yeah? And the police took my phone. So when I left the country on the Sunday, I had no phone. So then I've left the country. I've gone all the way through France. I was dropping a car off. That was what I was doing. I was getting paid to drop a car off to someone, to my friend, for him, into the south of Spain. So I'm driving. It's not until I even get into Spain that I pick up a phone. I pick up a phone, and then I'm able to take my arrest sheet out, my bail conditions out, my bail forms out. So Nigel Farage, before he makes this video, and if I'm led to believe that he hasn't researched this before talking about it or he hasn't seen the social media posts he's even mistaken or he's an out and out liar right and what I believe is that he's too much of a coward to have a discussion just like I know he come out in the end and challenged the banks closing people's banks but he didn't do it for nine years we had our I had my bank accounts closed in 2009 they all knew this they knew the treatment we're receiving and it's always it's me today it's you tomorrow so stop me under terrorist legislation let them get away with this abuse of power and you know what I covered, journalistically, a similar case to this on Paul Golding from Britain First. He travelled to Russia. When he landed, they abused the power exactly like this. I went to his case because I said, if they do it to him, they'll do it to us. And I went and listened to his case, and they accepted in that case they knew he wasn't a terrorist. So it's a total abuse, but he still was convicted of terror offenses. Paul Golding is convicted of terror offenses for refusing to give the government and the police access to his phone and computers, right? It's a total liberty. They know he's not. Now, this legislation was only brought in in case, say, they know there's going to be a terrorist attack. There's been a terrorist attack here. They know other terrorists are in the knowledge of where the next attack is. They detain them. Then they have this legislation that means you can't remain inside them because you've got to tell us because we need to save lives, yeah? That's what it was brought in for. Not this. not to ask people about their lawful political movement or their demonstrations or their organisation or their cultural movement because that's what they asked me for they grilled me for six hours everything to do with this so now I've been released, At the same time as this, then I think the next day or whatever, three little girls have been butchered to death and a dozen have been snapped. And let me say, six, seven, and nine, three little girls, and that was on the Monday, yes, the day after your... So that obviously... If it was on the Monday, I didn't even have a phone. I didn't even have a phone. So whenever that attack was, I didn't even own a phone. So I couldn't go on the internet, I couldn't message back if it happened on the Monday. I don't know what day. Let me have a look what day. Can I look now quickly? I think it was Monday. I think it was Monday the 29th. I think. I didn't have a phone. I didn't have a phone. It's impossible for me to have a phone because I was driving. I drove for 20 hours. Yeah. I drove the whole way. So I didn't have a phone, man, if that was when it happened. Yeah. But somehow, somehow, the media are saying I'm orchestrated. So these attacks happened in Southport. Now, when you're saying, so your viewers understand, Southport is a close-knit, working-class community. I spoke to one, a few days after the attack, I spoke to one uncle of a girl who was stabbed. He described that when the man come into the classroom, this girl must have been coming back from the toilet or something. His niece, it was his niece. He grabbed her by the hair, stabbed her straight for her face. So he destroyed her forever. Stabbed her for her face. Stabbed her took her bicep off stabbed her in the body dropped her like a bit of meat yeah gone on to the room started stabbing them all but he thought she's dead then he's gone on so this one man this uncle of this child he said tommy you gotta understand that happened to one side the family on my other side the family it was the god door one of the god doors was murdered seven years old, stabbed seven times. So imagine the anger, the frustration, the boiling over. So the local community have come out for a vigil for these goers. So all the men in this town are at vigil. Now, it's impossible to have been organised by any group. It's a vigil. So they're at this vigil, and then word spreads because what visibly looks like an Arab has been detained with a balaclava and a knife in the road around the corner. There's a video of the man being arrested. He's got a big knife. So word spreads. Bearing in mind the tensions that are already there, the frustrations that are already there, the fact I believe that the government or the police come out and said it wasn't a terrorist attack after about an hour. And everyone's like, how can you possibly know that? and bearing in mind so your viewers understand a day or two or three before this a soldier in full military uniform has walked out of his barracks and a migrant who's been in the country about six months gets off a motorbike and runs over and butchers him stabs him and stabs him and stabs him this doesn't really make British news okay the controlled media it doesn't really make the news and as the wife comes out and tries to help her husband and as other people do this migrant doesn't stab anyone. Only targets the man in military uniform. We've seen exactly this previously with Lee Rigby. Michael Adebolajo, a Nigerian convert to Islam, someone we previously made videos about and warned about, him and another Nigerian convert stabbed to death Lee Rigby, and they behead him in the street. Again, they don't stab any passers-by, because what they say in their view is he was a fair and legitimate target of war because he was in a British uniform for military. So when we've seen this one we're then told that this mental health episode was it was mental health so that the man who was totally mentally ill only chose the soldier to stab yeah and there was no political or ideological motivation for that attack now I'm sorry we don't buy it I don't buy it the British public don't buy it so and I'll get I'll tell you why we don't buy I'll tell you my reason why I don't believe them and and what they said after the murder of the three girls is when We're managing the situation of what's told. They're managing. Now, in 2016, and I ask anyone listening to this, go on your computer and Google Russell Square attack. If you're in America, one of your citizens was butchered to death in this attack. You won't see it under the terrorist attack list because they didn't class it as a terrorist attack. So a Muslim went in to his mosque, which was nowhere near Russell Square. He goes into his mosque and he says he wants to kill non-Muslims. Now, rather than bring the security services to the police, his imam said a prayer for him. They prayed for him, okay? There's a process they're meant to follow if there's extremists within the mosque, and that's called the prevent strategy, which is by our government. They didn't do that. So they should have faced prosecution, but they prayed for him. He then left Brussels Square, mentally ill, didn't establish Muslims, where his area where he lived was all Muslims. He went into the area of tourists and non-Muslims, and he butchers seven people, one of them dying, American tourists, And in between butchering each person, he screams, Allah Akbar. Yeah. Which we're told means hallelujah in Islam. It couldn't be further from the truth. Well, guess what? This wasn't a terrorist attack either. This was an episode of mental health. There's another case where a Muslim. How come these Muslims who keep committing murder when they're having mental health, how come they only target non-Muslims in those mental health episodes? sons. There's another case. A grandma had her head cut off in a garden in London. In London, she's 88 years old. She's beheaded. Whilst he was screaming, Allah Akbar. But of course, this wasn't a case of terrorism either. So when, and look, this may have been an episode of mental health. He targeted a Taylor Swift concert. I think we've just had another Taylor Swift concert. Two or three Muslims have been arrested who were planning to blow up and kill and stab have children again at a Taylor Swift concert in Austria within the same two weeks. So the local community around, they're angry, they're upset, they're broken hearted, they're grieving. Another Arab, an identified Arab, looks like an Arab, has been caught with a knife and screwdriver and their frustration boils over into total fury. And then as they riot with the police... That night, a statement's given by the police saying that it was the English Defence League. Now, as soon as I saw this, I knew. As soon as I saw this, I knew what was coming. I knew. I know what they're doing. I know now what they're doing. I know what's going to happen from this. So I knew. Well, the English Defence League, and so your listeners understand, I started the English Defence League in 2009. And I left it in 2014. By 2015, it was gone. Now, if you want to check out Google searches, yeah, because they're trying to hide all this, Since 2017, it hasn't been mentioned. Do you know why it hasn't been mentioned? Because there is no organisation called the English Defence League. So for the lead police officer to say it was the English Defence League is a total falsehood and a total lie and a total manipulation of the truth. The truth is that the British public are furious of mass open border immigration. Endangerment of their women, their daughters and their safety. The rapes have gone on up and down our country. the migrants have been invited in and continually raping and killing from these hotels as well they're in the hotels so this developed into a riot watch my video so they keep saying I've instigated the riots and I've called for violence and attacks against mosques there's that but they don't quote any evidence or show any video footage or any quotes of what I've said in fact what they use is evidence that I've done that is one tweet where I said mass deportations needed now I'm not going to apologize for saying mass deportation is needed because they are needed every one of these migrant men who have come through 16 safe countries into our country who are economic migrants not refugees they're illegally entered our country so they broke the law anyway they're not here for safety because they were safe in France they were safe in every other country they went here they're here for economical reasons yeah many of them many of them and they're not there's not women and children we're not talking about families here and it would be a different conversation if we was we're talking about fighting age military men who we know nothing about criminal records ideologies are they members of ISIS were they members of ISIS how do they we don't know anything but then they're not just born in this country but they're plumped into hotels in every town city and they're done at a time when the British public are suffering they're suffering financially as a country economically can't get a dentist appointment people are pulling their own teeth out can't see a doctor the NHS rate list is ridiculous cancer page after Covid after they after that other manipulation of the truth all of these things have wound up the British public yeah they've been. Crying out for help and they've been ignored and every time they try to have a voice. Like that this evening Southport families have come out men have come out they're. All called far-right racists and that's what the automatic go-to was far-right extremists English feds league and then since then it's been directed at me. Everything's been directed at me doesn't matter what I've said you know what it doesn't matter I've said If you go and search my name now on TikTok, you can't find one video. You search my name on Instagram, you can't find one video. Facebook can't find one video. So whilst they delete the truth of what I've been saying, they use the propaganda and their weaponized media to flood every day for the last seven days, every day. Every talk show, every radio host. And once they started that lie, but Piers Morgan's done a video again saying that I have called for violent attacks against mosques. Now, what does that do when someone lies like that on such a high profile show with Andrew Tate that goes to tens of millions of people? Somalians are now making videos calling for my death and saying they're going to murder me. They've directed so much hate at me. And what it does is to protect their policy failures. People are upset because you, your failure of open border immigration has destroyed the cohesion of our country and our towns and cities people feel like foreigners in their own land you've destroyed it and you wish to continue to shut the public up until it's too late and basically what the labour government have come out since this has said is you will be replaced shut up and sit down and if you don't shut up and sit down we'll put you in jail yeah if you say mean hurty words online we're going to lock you up as well so and they've made I believe direct messages to me talking about people who are abroad who think they can fan, I'm sorry, but give the British public the reality of the situation in their country. He's not fanning the flames. It's reality. I want to pick up just on two of those because I know time is short. But let me just, two quick things. One, how social media has worked. And watching Elon Musk coming out and actually going head to head with two-tier care and highlighting what's happening. And when he was threatened by the Labour government, he just started just reposting all the videos. On the other side you've got the the lamestream media actually putting something different but what does that mean because your voice is amplified on twitter and it is Elon Musk for all the the other negative side maybe stuff he's done actually he is a free speech advocate absolute free speech and he seems to be the main opposition to the labour government Would we do without X currently what would it look like about X well what it would look like is Muslims have rioted for seven days they've walked around with machetes swords baseball bats poles they've savagely beaten English people on the floor who are innocent going home from work none of you would even know any of that because no mainstream media have bought it they've totally gone with a totally different narrative yeah they're painting a totally different picture of the reality of what's been going on over the last seven days yeah they're painting a picture of far-right white racists, rather than concerned parents. They've totally manipulated the entire situation, and every mainstream media has been part of that. Now, the reason why they hate us, citizen journalists, is because we're giving the public, here's what's happening. Now, if there wasn't an X and there wasn't an Elon Musk, people, we're already under total communist control. That's the reality. There is no freedom of speech. There's none in Great Britain. For the last five years, remember, I made a video showing, here's what I said, here's what they're saying, I said, on X this week, it's had 7 million views. And those 7 million people can see the total lies they're telling. But if I didn't have X, people would just believe that I've instigated and I've coordinated and I've sent my foot soldiers to burn the country. Because that's what they've been told. There's no evidence to it. But that is the power of the media. Now, the one sticking thing in their way at the minute is Twitter, X, and Elon Musk. And Elon Musk, I think, will be remembered not for sending things to space, not for Tesla, not for any of these things. I think in history, he's going to be remembered at the forefront of the battle for freedom of speech. If they take our speech, which they've took, they've already took it. We're fighting back to get it through X, but they took it for five years. They control everything you've seen here. And the mass awakening that's happened since their COVID lies is people realize when we were censored, they justified it because we're talking against Islam. We must be extreme racists. But then their censorship spread to doctors, nurses and scientists. So the mass awakening of the public to make people question what they're being told spread as well and that has created a mass mass awakening who do not trust the media in anything they say basically if you read the story and my film, the reason why they're so upset my film that's on 42 million views now totally, 100%, exposes the corruption of the British judiciary and what the American audience and anyone watching this, this film is bigger than my story. This is what they're doing to Donald Trump. This is the weaponization of the media. So they can't get you one way. They'll use the media to destroy you. If that doesn't work, if the public is still siding with you, then they'll use their corrupt judiciary without a jury, which is what they keep doing to me. No jury. Bring me into court. It doesn't matter what evidence you bring to court. So I'm watching now. And yes, I'm worried. I'm watching now as they tell the world I've instigated riots. And I'm thinking, they're going to lock me up. There's no evidence. But they don't need evidence. I know that. I've been through their system. I know what this does. I know what they're doing. I can see it. I Googled my name this morning, Peter, and looked at articles for the last 24 hours and could not believe what I'm reading. I can't believe what I'm reading. Now, this then, so this is their attack, but will it have the adverse effect whilst we've got social media? Because there's now 20 million, 30 million, I think 50 million people a day reading my messaging. Yeah they're people who are seeing the lies they're exposing themselves through this so yeah I'm their target but am i the target you're the target everyone listens to this it's you yet they want to take get rid of me because they want to control what you see they want to tell you how to think and what to think about certain characters and people and ideas they want total and out of control and at the minute Elon Musk is in their way now you saw the attempt on Donald Trump's the assassination attempt. He shouldn't be here. I think that's headed for Elon Musk, because Elon Musk is in the way. The reason why he's in the way is because with free speech, with citizen journalism, we can expose them. We can bring them down. We have the power to awaken the world. We was, with 100,000 people on the street and a million people watching live on the 27th of July, we're on the verge of a cultural revolution in Great Britain. They have to do this. What you're seeing now, but there's a borderline. There's a borderline between coming down hard on us and creating a martyr. And they're going to go, I believe their stupidity is going to create a martyr in myself. That's what I believe, yeah? Not good for me. Not good at all. Not good at all. But for our cause... I just want to finish off with one thing about the support you've had, because I've been intrigued and you've gone through different phases. And I've had the privilege of knowing you back 17, 18 years ago when I first met you. But actually, you've had times where huge support and times where you've been pushed on and the state has been winning for a while. But actually seeing people like Carl Benjamin, seeing people like Mahar Tousi, seeing people like Lawrence Fox, seeing people like Calvin Robinson. And that was one thing of seeing people standing up and supporting you who maybe are regarded as a little bit more mainstream. And that's not a negative term at all to them. And that's been super. But then actually watching your interview with Jordan Peterson, I watched the whole interview with you and Jordan and Tammy. And the interesting thing was whenever he interviewed Elon Musk, it was Jordan interviewing Jordan. And Elon didn't really get much to say. whenever Jordan was interviewing you you had 90% of the time and that showed he was genuinely Interested in your story and wants to do a part two and whenever you've got people like that amplifying your voice and what you're doing to me that shows that actually we're winning and actually we can win this thing To me I was so grateful that Jordan Peterson gave me that opportunity to tell my story and I'm very grateful because I believe my life's currently in danger yeah I believe my life is in danger for telling the truth for waking them people for showing the public what they're not showing you yeah and Jordan Peterson sitting down with me I've watched him for years he's a very influential man he he didn't have to do that and Jordan Peterson doesn't have to cover these topics Jordan Peterson is a very successful intelligent man who could go into and lead a very comfortable life so I have massive respect and admiration for anyone who decides to put their face on the forefront, take risk of sitting down with people who they don't. And this isn't to think that Jordan Peterson agrees with me on everything I stand for, because he said to me he doesn't, yeah? And that's the same with everyone. But to sit down and have open discussions is what we need. We need massive open discussions. We need more speech, not less of it. We don't need you to control our speech. The public aren't stupid. If I'm wrong, it's like when this judge tried to hide this film. Well, if it's such a clear-cut case, why don't you let the public see the evidence? Why do you need to hide it? And 42 million people have watched that film. I guarantee you there's not one. The public now know that I was prosecuted. I was bankrupt. All on a lie. My only crime is telling the truth. That's my crime. And if you want to send me to jail for telling the truth, then you do that. Because that's going to say more about you. And I'm lucky now. Am I lucky? I'm lucky that 42 million people have watched it. So I know, no matter what happens here, Because last time when they convicted me of this case, they just used their weapon, the media, to tell everyone I lied. Well, now, that narrative ain't going to wash. You can't do that this time. You want to send me to jail? Everyone knows the soldier truth. 42 million people, 52 million, 62 million, 100 million people by the time you get me in a prison cell. 100 million people. So for me, success. Success. Well, not for me personally. For my cause. My cause is about, and this is. Even like Nigel Farage. I believe Nigel, Nigel, speak up. And like, I think he wants to be part of the establishment. I want to bring the establishment down. Yeah. I want to bring them down. So I want to bring their fraudulent, corrupt politicians, the sell-outs, sell-outs to the new world order, sell-outs to the World Economic Forum, sell-outs. None of the, they're not working for the interest of the British public. So, but yeah. Anyway, Pete, I think I've got my next one.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 45-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,012 on turnover of 7.1-billion N-T. The market closed slightly higher on Monday as investors opted to take advantage of the main board's initial gains. Large cap tech stocks saw some profit taking, but still served to stabilize the broader market throughout the trading day. Control Yuan Seeking Constitutional Court Ruling on LY Reform Bills The Control Yuan has officially petitioned the Constitutional Court for a ruling on the constitutionality of government oversight amendments passed by the Legislature in May -- arguing they will allow the legislative body to usurp (奪取) its power. The petition was filed by the head of the Control Yuan's Department of Supervisory Investigation and an attorney on behalf of the government watchdog at the Judicial Yuan in Taipei. They also filed an application for an injunction to halt enforcement of the revisions to the Law Governing the Legislative Yuan's Power and the Criminal Code. The D-P-P's legislative caucus and the Cabinet filed similar petitions last week. First Green Carbon Project Listed on Taiwan Carbon Solution Exchange The Taiwan Carbon Solution Exchange has listed its first green carbon project. According to the T-C-X the newly listed project is an afforestation (造林) initiative in eastern Paraguay and carbon credits for the project are now available for purchase. The T-C-X says it expects its will generate (產生) carbon credits for 10,000 tons of carbon. The exchange is not providing any further details on the nature of the project or how far along it is. However, the T-C-X says it's crucial for Paraguay to receive support to develop and protect forests and promote carbon reduction initiatives because its current regulations on forest cultivation are underdeveloped. Boeing Crash Families Disatisfied with Plea Agreement Families of the victims from two major crashes involving Boeing aircraft are said to be unhappy with a plea agreement (認罪協商) reportedly offered to the company in recent days. Mitch McCann reports: Turkey Mediating Somalia Ethiopia Talks Turkey says it has mediated (調解) talks between Somalia and Ethiopia to ease diplomatic tensions between the east African neighbors. Turkey's Foreign Ministry says that the Ethiopian and Somalian foreign ministers were “able to separately have a candid, cordial and forward-looking exchange” on Monday concerning their differences. A second round of discussions is planned in the Turkish capital of Ankara on Sept. 2. Ethiopia signed a memorandum of understanding with the breakaway region of Somaliland in January, which Somalia denounced as infringing upon its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The memorandum was to allow Ethiopia's access to the sea through Somaliland and in return Ethiopia would recognize Somaliland as an independent country. That was the I.C.R.T. news, Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded every day in the afternoon.

Listen to the Fri. May 10, 2024 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The episode features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the impact of drought in the Southern African state of Zimbabwe; South African rescue workers are less hopeful of finding more live people from the building collapse in the Western Cape city of George; Chad's military leader has been declared the winner of the presidential elections; and there is an enhanced targeting of the Gulf of Aden under the guise of "Somalian piracy."

Reneilwe Morema reports on the gruesome murder of a pregnant Swedish woman who was killed by her refugee Somalian boyfriend in a suspected ''Honour Killing'' after he got scared of telling his family he got a white Christian woman pregnant, which is against his Muslim Culture and can bring shame to his family and risk being shunned by his Muslim Community and the church. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/africandiasporanews/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/africandiasporanews/support

This week on the Lead to Win Podcast, we visit Lauren Cruz. Lauren graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 2006 and spent the following 5 years as a Naval Flight Officer on board the P-3C Orion aircraft, hunting submarines and Somalian pirates (including those who took Captain Phillips captive in 2009), and flying surveillance and reconnaissance missions in the Persian Gulf.  She then served for 3.5 years at the White House as a communications officer (alongside Atlas Aultman, another guest of the show).  In 2015, Lauren left the Navy and began a career in Financial Crimes Compliance and Fraud Prevention in NYC.  She has worked for EY (Ernst & Young), PayPal, and recently accepted a position with Goldman Sachs. Throughout her career, Lauren has enjoyed great success employing what she now knows is called “compassionate leadership”.  In short, she makes it a point to be curious about and empathetic toward the individuals she works with.  Not only does she find work much more enjoyable this way, but the results she has gotten have been overwhelmingly positive. Episode Takeaways: Compassionate leadership involves being curious and empathetic towards employees, which leads to happier and more loyal team members. Leaders should balance compassion with accountability and drive results by being curious about their employees' lives and experiences. The five Cs of compassionate leadership are consciousness, compassion, curiosity, competence, and courage. Leaders should be aware of biases, such as the fundamental attribution error, and strive to avoid judging others unfairly. Leaders should practice active listening and empathy to better understand the people they lead.

#CANADA: REPORTING FROM FROZEN SLAVE LAKE AT YELLOWKNIFE, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES: Somalian, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Eritrean, amiably settled in Yellowknife.  @Michael_Yon 1886 North West Territory

Listen to the Sat. March 16, 2024 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the release of a Senegalese opposition leader who will stand for presidential elections in April; Egypt is emerging as a mediator for resolving the internal conflict in the Republic of Sudan; the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has reinstated the death penalty; and a Somalian hotel was retaken by the National Army from rebels. In the second and third hours we continue our focus on International Women's History Month with segments on journalist Alice Dunnigan, activist Rosa L. Parks and Pan-African scholar Shirley Graham Du Bois. 

Kate Adie presents stories from Gaza, Turkey, Somalia, Ecuador and Japan.US President Joe Biden raised hopes that a ceasefire deal was close to being reached this week over the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. But these hopes faded after a tragic incident in which more than 100 people were killed as aid was being delivered to Gaza City. Paul Adams says the incident also highlighted wider problems as the war continues.Lizzie Porter follows the story of a family who fled Gaza early on in the war, and who fled to Turkey as dual nationals, leaving family, friends and valuables behind. They told her about their new life in Turkey and their fears for those left behind.After the militant group, Al Shabaab withdrew from the Somalian capital Mogadishu, the city has become safer. Nonetheless the group remains a potent threat. Yet there is an even greater menace in the country: climate change, after severe droughts, followed by flooding forced farmers off their land. Peter Oborne met some of those who were displaced and who are trying to support themselves in other ways.A project in Ecuador is using the Amazon's “ancestral highways” – rivers – and a fleet of solar-powered boats run by Indigenous communities to provide a sustainable model of transport for the future. Peter Yeung went for a ride and heard how this has been met with a mixed response by some indigenous leaders.And we're in Inazawa in Japan, where the Hadaka Matsuri - or Naked Festival - has come up with a solution to flagging numbers of participants: involve women. Shaimaa Khalil met a group of 40 women who took part (in robes) for the first time.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Editor: Matt Willis Production Coordinator: Rosie Strawbridge

They are among some of the most beautiful women on the planet but also the most strictly traditional values. Would love to hear any thoughts?" Well Mr. Anonymous I know the exact women you're talking about. One of those mythical, rational unicorn women from Wakanda that defy all female nature. I don't care where a woman is from once you bring her into a culture that's no longer traditional, sure she's going to maintain a lot of her upbringing qualities but over time they will slowly be eroded away by the women that are around her. The ones that have already been here many years or decades. I knew a woman that came to Canada from Ghana and she was traditional and got her hands on a honkey cracker so last I heard she stuck it out with him. But again that was in the days before smart phones. Now even the women from small town villages are being polluted thanks to social media. Finding a woman from another country won't work anymore for at least two reasons. Number one she's going to change when she comes over here and number two she's already having her traditionalism destroyed thanks to her smart phone. Plus there's also the superiority complex many traditional women feel when they come to the west. While growing up many of the Eastern European women felt superior to the local women from Western European descent. I could never understand this considering that the western women came from a more advanced, organized and higher IQ culture. But I'm now thinking that those super smart Polish women. Cough cough sarcasm sarcasm saw themselves as being superior because of their family values. Because they still had intact families and because the early signs of degeneracy hadn't taken hold in their group yet. As for East African women I was interested in a woman from Ethiopia and she became a masculine feminist so is that the type of woman that is strictly traditional. What about Somalian women with their stiched up cooches? Maybe you're referring to women from Botswana that are so traditional that the birth rates in the urban centers are well below replacement level. Wherever we go women are the same. I'm predicting that women in poorer countries won't even want to come to the west anymore because there will be too many people from their own background in the country and if they are from the third world then the part of the west they go to will also eventually look third world so other women from their background won't want to move there anymore. I think what's going to happen is that either Caucasian people are going to eventually move away from the west into eastern Europe and other homogenous places or they will create their own gated communities in the west and at that point communities like Indians will lose out on being able to live in their proximity.

We need a comprehensive approach to dismantling the legacy of slavery and systemic racism.”  o    State Sen.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Vietnam and Philippines sign deals on security in disputed South China SeaSummary: The leaders of the Philippines and Vietnam have signed a series of deals related to their naval activities in the South China Sea.Context: This is likely to irritate China, which has ongoing disputes with both nations, though especially the Philippines, over islands and shoals and fishing rights in portions of the South China Sea which China considers to be its territorial waters; China has been accused of militarizing the area, building out weaponized platforms and arming its fishing vessels, and the number of close-calls and collisions between vessels in the region have increased, raising tensions and upping the likelihood of some kind of more formal scuffle at some point—which is part of why non-Chinese entities in the area have been making these sorts of deals in recent years.—Al JazeeraOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

Ilhan is working for Somalia…so why hasn't she been removed? Rep.

"Mainstream media" has paid little or no attention to the Texas border — until the "Army of God" arose. How are they twisting what's happening?

Conservatives have recoiled and distanced themselves from the pejorative term, but are now realizing — there WAS a conspiracy all along. But of course Trump could never be a part of it. Saturday Night Live, the arrogant, ignorant "entertainment" for the masses, think debanking is a word that Trump made up.The massive migration of Somalis has created "Little Mogadishu" in Minnesota. Ilhan Omar has made it clear that America is NOT her concern except to use it for her Somalian feud. "Somalia first, Islam second". This is what the globalist mass migration is about — a balkanization and erasure of nations. But the Somalis are not the only group that puts American interest secondary to their true loyalty. House impeachment is just election year entertainment and distraction. Mayorkas will NOT be impeached by Senate even though there are MILLIONS of reasons (we don't even know their names) to impeach himMore tragic jab sudden deaths — more lies and plagiarism from Harvard regarding cancer research just like ClimateGate. Science has been lying to us for a long time just like Ernst Haeckel and Carl Sagan — "ontology recapitulates phylogeny"Nikki Haley's brother connected to Johnson & Johnson but so is Trump.

Jon dives into the issue of illegal immigration before our guest on the border joins us in hour number three before pivoting to Ilhan Omar's appalling comments to a group of Somalian people here in the Cities.

Fresh off the Bezos boat of Bitcoin #ETF's and who the fuck cares, I went to the Zoolander DAIE spa for a claw manicure to ward off my stalker. Much to my deep disturbance, Manicurist is leaving the manicure industry to focus solely on her career as a perp trading influencer on #dYdX v4. I asked her why I would ever engage in peer-to-peer trading when my peers are largely sophisticated pseudo ivy league educated jewel-smoking narcissistic alcoholic Adderall fueled contemporaries who would no sooner spill my darkest secrets in exchange for a spot at Horace Man for their offspring. Unclear.The notion on Notion that my (father's) hard earned cash is better managed by SushiSwap over the light sex trafficking accused  meaninglessly regulated tradFi institution is beyond my realm of comprehension.Ipso facto, With #ZeroKnowledge Alcohol proof, I must continue on my God appointed quest to solve Jon Benet Ramsey's murder with my #baccarat magnifying glass as well examine peer to peer trading and kreepto derivs.Alas, I am pleased to have decorated crème de la creme Advanced Sales and Strategy expert Mr. Kyle Trimble Kyle is a web3 Don Draper. He has been divinely blessed by his ability to make every cold prospect his deepest most treasured friend and his best men will encompass the entire defunct Genesis trading desk. He is a Renaissance man, what with is his burgeoning underground DJ career and Degen Solana Shitcoin trading strategies reminiscent of RainMan. Every single respectable woman of crypto, of which there are 12, has a deep seated unhealthy sexual obsession with Kyle, and it is for good reason; Here's my backstory. I met Kyle in the late 90s in the height of high frequency commoditized Somalian children trading during the children's Men's Fashion Week in Milano. Neither of us were chosen in the final round to walk the runway, a freakish decision -what with Kyles impossibly high cheek bones and lithe European figure, and my sporadic bulimia and keen ability to speak inflected mob like 4th grade Italian re Donatella Margherita Missoni Pizza grazie mille. Even though our failed modeling careers were a personal affront, I went on to pursue an intellectual career in beverage commercial work. Kyle is nearly single handedly responsible for making The Tie a household name while still maintaining an impressive following in the house music underground club circuit of Medellin where he cannot get a Sangria without being accosted. His most recent prestigious day job includes trading derivatives of derivatives of kreepto at Kemet Trading. During this episode, Kyle corrects many of my fervent misunderstandings.Per example, #KeanuReeves is not associated with Matrixport, being cheap fast and easy only works on Solana and in Dubai, and Delta Hedging has nothing to do with sorority and fraternity pledging. 

Listen to the Sat. Jan. 6, 2024 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This episode features our regular PANW report with dispatches on recently released video of the killing of IDF captive soldiers by their own troops; we will remember Refaat Alareer one month after his death; the Sudanese Armed Forces General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has again rejected a meeting with RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti); and the Somalian government has rejected a deal between breakaway Somaliland and Kenya for the utilization of a port. In the second hour we address the question of genocide in the modern era. Later we look back on the 161st anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. Finally, we pay tribute to the upcoming holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968).
