It's Wednesday, October 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 88 countries restrict Bible access The Bible Access Initiative released a list of nations where access to the Bible is restricted. Eighty-eight countries have at least some restrictions on Bible access. The country with the most extreme restrictions is Somalia followed by Afghanistan, Yemen, and North Korea.  The Bible Access List noted, “Bible access in Somalia is not just limited; it is outlawed. Under a strict interpretation of Sharia law, it is illegal to print, import, store, or distribute Bibles.” Many of the countries with the worst restrictions are Muslim-majority nations governed by Sharia law. In 2 Timothy 2:8-9, the Apostle Paul reminds us, “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!” 20,000 Canadian pro-lifers stood in Life Chain An estimated 20,000 pro-lifers joined Canada's 35th annual Life Chain on Sunday. Participants took the streets across hundreds of cities in Canada. They held pro-life signs along roadways and prayed for the end of abortion. Josie Luetke with the Campaign Life Coalition told LifeSiteNews, “You see longtime, elderly activists with their walkers and lawn chairs and families with young kids running around. Life Chain is really a group effort . . . and it is a joy to see the entire pro-life movement united in this cause on this one day.” 30% of Canadian 11 to 13-year-olds open to church if invited Speaking of Canada, youth evangelism ministry OneHope released a report on the spiritual state of Generation Alpha in the country. The study covered young people between the ages of 11-13.  Forty-nine percent of respondents identified as Christian, 35% as non-religious, and 16% as other religions. Only 27% of Gen Alpha Christians qualified as committed Christians through Biblical beliefs and regular prayer and Bible reading.   Among non-religious teens, 30% said they would be open to attending a Christian church service if a friend invited them.  Trump eager to cut billions in waste and abuse during shutdown In the United States, the federal government shutdown continues as funding proposals from Republicans and Democrats keep failing in the Senate.  Democrats are withholding support for a funding bill unless it extends Obamacare subsidies. Republicans want to deal with the issue later in the year. President Donald Trump said he wants to use the shutdown to cut billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse.  Listen.  TRUMP: “Because of the shutdown, which I think they made a big mistake, we're able to take out billions and billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse. And they've handed it [to us] on a silver platter. Elon Musk: Cancel your NetFlix subscription over transgender shows Tech billionaire Elon Musk is echoing recent calls for people to cancel their Netflix subscriptions over immoral programming for children.  He posted on X last Wednesday, “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids”.  The shares of Netflix dropped nearly 5% over the course of last week. The recent trend to cancel Netflix resulted from conservative voices exposing Netflix for pushing transgender shows on children.  More Americans perceive having kids as a blessing Pew Research released a new report showing that more people view having children as a good thing for America. Fifty-three percent of U.S. adults say that if more people choose not to have children, it will have a negative impact on the country. That percentage is up from 47% last year. Only 20% of respondents said that people choosing not to have children would be positive for America.  Among men, 59% said fewer people having children would have a negative impact. Among women, that number fell to 48%. Anniversary of William Tyndale's death for translation Bible into English And finally, this week is the anniversary of William Tyndale's death, traditionally commemorated on October 6. Tyndale faced arrest and later death in 1536 for alleged heresy. However, he had worked tirelessly to translate the Bible into English. It was his devotion to Scripture that brought him into conflict with church and civil leaders. In response to an assertion of the supremacy of the Pope, Tyndale famously said, “I defy the Pope and all his laws; and if God spares my life, ere many years, I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost!” Copies of Tyndale's translation were smuggled into England by the thousands. His work would form the basis of the Great Bible, edited by Miles Coverdale. It made its way into every parish church just three years after Tyndale's death. Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, October 8th, in the year of our Lord 2025, my bride Amy's 49th birthday.

On 3 October 1993, an operation lead by US Army Delta Force (SOF-D) and US Army Rangers was launched into the city of Mogadishu, Somalia. This Operation was known as Operation Gothic Serpent. The mission was intended to be a short 45 min operation to capture Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. What ensued was a 17 hour battle that later become known as the Battle of Mogadishu, or what the movie named, Black Hawk Down. SGM (RET) Joe Vega, SOF-D was there. On this 32 year anniversary of that battle, Joe recounts his story, the heroism, and the losses that one never forgets.  #BardsFM #BlackHawkDown #DangerousMen Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com BardsFM CAP, Celebrating 50 Million Downloads: https://ambitiousfaith.net Morning Intro Music Provided by Brian Kahanek: www.briankahanek.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

We take a closer look at one of the aid projects at the centre of the government's criticised agreement with Somalia, and find out what can be learnt from the failed law on textile recycling. Plus: More people visited Sweden this summer from countries that don't usually come here on holidays. The Swedish tourist board believes it partly is down to the ”coolcation” trend, that includes more than just the weather.

12,000 years ago, human history changed forever when the egalitarian groups of hunter-gathering humans began to settle down and organize themselves into hierarchies. The few dominated the many, seizing control through violence. What emerged were “Goliaths”: large societies built on a collection of hierarchies that are also terrifyingly fragile, collapsing time after time across the world. Today, we live in a single, global Goliath—one that is precariously interdependent—under threat from nuclear war, climate change, and the existential risks of AI. The next collapse may be our last. Today’s guest is Luke Kemp, author of Goliath’s Curse. He conducts a historical autopsy on our species, from the earliest cities to the collapse of modern states like Somalia. Drawing on historical databases and the latest discoveries in archaeology and anthropology, he uncovers groundbreaking revelations: More democratic societies tend to be more resilient. A modern collapse is likely to be global, long-lasting, and more dire than ever before Collapse may be invisible until after it has occurred. It’s possible we’re living through one now. Collapse has often had a more positive outcome for the general population than for the 1%. All Goliaths contain the seeds of their own demise. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Ranger recounts the sudden shift from training to chaos after the “boom” — helicopters struck, smoke and gunfire, and a race through Mogadishu to extract teammates. They focused on the Ranger Creed. The episode traces Colonel Larry Perino's (then Lieutenant) path from West Point and Ranger training to Task Force Ranger in Somalia, describing fast‑rope assaults, ambushes, downed aircraft, and the desperate vehicle and foot exfil under heavy fire. He reflects on the losses, survivor's guilt, the duty to remember fallen comrades, and how the experience shaped leadership and care for soldiers afterward. __________ Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mentors-for-military-podcast/id1072421783 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w4RiZBxBS8EDy6cuOlbUl #taskforceranger #160thsoar #operationgothicserpent #armyrangers #mentors4mil  #mentorsformilitary Mentors4mil Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mentors4mil Patreon Support: https://www.patreon.com/join/Mentors4mil  Intro music "Long Way Down" by Silence & Light is used with permission.

Somalia has a serious security challengePaul Njie speaks to Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, President of Somalia, about ongoing efforts to achieve security and stability in his country. While he says much progress has been made in tackling terror, he acknowledges that the insurgent groups al-Qaeda and, in particular, al-Shabab still pose a serious challenge. However, he refutes the American charge that Somalia is a safe haven for terrorists - a charge that has led to a US travel ban for Somali nationals. He also stands firm in the face of pressure to allow the secession of Somaliland, the self-declared republic in the north of Somalia. The country's unity, he says, is sacrosanct. Long-running tensions with neighbouring Ethiopia are downplayed, and instead he gives his support to working together in both countries' interests. President Mohamud first came to power in 2012, at the head of an internationally backed Government that brought a degree of stability to a country riven by civil war for decades. Re-elected for a second time in 2022, he is now attempting to change the country's constitution to allow direct voting for all citizens rather than through clan elders. He believes this is necessary to continue Somalia's journey to democracy. Thank you to Paul Njie, Hassan Lali and Gladys Kigo for their help in making this programme.

Kaj Larsen: From Navy SEAL to Groundbreaking Journalist This week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie welcome an extraordinary guest whose life reads like an action thriller—Kaj Larsen. Born in Santa Cruz, California, Kaj earned his Political Science degree from UC Santa Cruz and went on to Harvard's Kennedy School of Government for a master's in Public Policy, where he was a Shorenstein Center fellow and a joint fellow at Tufts Jebsen Center for Counter-Terrorism Studies. Kaj's journey is anything but ordinary. Before breaking stories on global conflict zones, he served five years on active duty as a U.S. Navy SEAL Lieutenant leading special operations overseas. He continues to serve in the SEAL reserves with U.S. Special Operations Command. As an award-winning filmmaker and journalist, Kaj has reported from some of the most dangerous places on earth—Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, and beyond—producing groundbreaking documentaries on terrorism, national security, and humanitarian crises. He's been a senior correspondent at NowThis News, hosted the Emmy Award-winning VICE on HBO, and developed the Vanguard Journalism series for Current TV. Kaj made headlines for being the first journalist to bring waterboarding to public attention—by undergoing it himself on camera—and for breaking media silence in Mogadishu as the first Western TV journalist there in over a decade. Outside the newsroom, Kaj is a two-time national open-water swimming champion, an Escape from Alcatraz duathlon competitor, and a dedicated practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai boxing. His commitment to service extends beyond reporting: he co-founded The Mission Continues and serves on the boards of Team Rubicon Global and other veteran service organizations, deploying for humanitarian missions around the world. Join us as Kaj shares stories from his remarkable career—what it takes to tell the truth from the frontlines, the lessons learned from military service and global reporting, and why resilience and service are at the heart of his mission. Tune in for a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at a life dedicated to serving, reporting, and making an impact on a global scale.

Often touted as the gold standard in national security strategy making, 1953's Project Solarium was President Eisenhower's way of developing a strategy to counter Soviet expansionism. With frequent current calls for a new Project Solarium, was the original project a versatile solution or was it particular to Eisenhower's presidency? Professor Walter Hudson explains. By 1947 relations with the Soviet Union were viewed in Washington as an ideological tug-of-war that could only be won by one side. After the initial strategy of Containment had been crafted under President Truman, the US and its NATO allies massively increased defence spending once the Korean War broke out, fearing a series of further acts of Communist aggression. By mid-1953, however, Stalin was dead, the Korean War at its end, while the cost to the US of the Containment strategy adopted in 1950 was becoming unbearable. With Project Solarium President Eisenhower initiated a rethink not only of what American strategy should be, but also how that strategy was made and understood by his Administration. Professor Walter M. Hudson from the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., guides us through the process adopted in 1953. A former US Army officer, he served in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Panama, Korea and Germany, and holds a PhD in military history from Kansas State University. He is the author of Solarium at 70: Project Solarium's Influence on Eisenhower Historiography and National Security Strategy, published in 2023 by the National Defense University.

Carl Skau, biträdande chef för FN:s livsmedelsprogram, om svälten i Gaza och Sudan, och hur minskat bistånd påverkar kampen mot hungern i världen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ”Det har nog aldrig varit så tufft att vara humanitär. Behoven har aldrig varit så stora. Vi har två bekräftade svältkatastrofer i Sudan och Gaza, det har aldrig skett tidigare i historien. Det är över 300 miljoner människor som är akut hungriga. Det är nästan USA:s befolkning. En trefaldig ökning de senaste åren”, säger Carl Skau, biträdande chef för FN:s livsmedelsprogram (WFP), världens största humanitära hjälporganisation.Sedan slutet av augusti har IPC (The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification) konstaterat att det råder svält i norra Gaza, och att det sedan förra året råder svält i delar av Sudan. Carl Skau besökte Gaza senast i juli i år, och har svårt att hitta nya ord för att beskriva situationen där.”Det är ett helvete, helt enkelt. Tusentals barn som driver runt utan föräldrar. Barn som nu svälter till döds. Föräldrar som du och jag som har fullständig panik för att de inte kan hitta mat till sina barn. Dessutom fördrivs människor igen. De har flyttat kanske 20–30 gånger och har ingenting kvar. De kommer till tältlägren som redan är överfulla.””Läget är förfärligt – sopor och avföring flyter runt. Nu blir det dessutom kallt och mycket regn under vintern. Samtidigt håller det samhälleliga och sociala kittet på att bryta ihop Det är anarki, kaos, tiotusentals unga män som driver runt planlöst. Det är ett väldigt besvärligt läge på ett sätt som vi inte har sett nån annanstans.”Carl Skau menar att den kaosartade situationen i Gaza har intensifierats den senaste tiden.”Lastbilar fastnar i stora folkmassor där desperata civila hugger en säck från lastbilen och rusar iväg. Det kommer vi att behöva acceptera under några veckor till om vi behöver komma tillbaka till den ordnade formen av matutdelning”, säger Carl Skau.Vad är det som behövs akut? Det är ju en konstaterad svältkatastrof"Ett eldupphör är det enda som skulle kunna vända det helt. Men om vi ska hantera det på nåt sätt behöver vi mycket högre volymer. Det går inte att fortsätta droppmata befolkningen, för det skapar kaos”, säger Carl Skau. Att FN:s livsmedelsprogram inte får in mer mat för närvarande beror enligt Carl Skau på Israels agerande. ”Det saknas politisk vilja att ta de beslut som krävs för att vi ska kunna ha en mer fungerande FN-ledd hjälpinsats.”Men är det Israel som har orsakat svälten? Kan man säga det? ”De begränsningar vi nu har vad gäller att få in mer mat och kunna röra oss runt i södra Gaza, det begränsas av Israel.” Den israeliska regeringen har upprepade gånger ifrågasatt om det verkligen finns nån svält i Gaza. Vad säger du om det? ”I de kontakter jag har med israeliska myndigheter är man väl medveten om att läget är allvarligt. Sen kan det finnas diskussioner på marginalen om hur allvarligt det är”, säger Carl Skau. Vad tänker du om att Israel ifrågasätter om det existerar en svält och hungersnöd? ”Det är otroligt problematiskt. Vi fortsätter att ha kontakter med dem. Vårt fokus är att försöka hitta sätt att rädda liv och lindra nöd och undvika ett förvärrat läge. Vi engagerar oss varje dag med de israeliska myndigheterna på alla nivåer, det är en utmaning också. Ibland kan man få ett löfte på en nivå och så genomförs inte det på en annan”, säger Carl Skau.”Man kan ha fått godkännande om att flytta 50 lastbilar på morgonen klockan fem, och klockan sju på kvällen sitter man fortfarande i de där bilarna och har inte fått grönt ljus att rulla vidare. Det är klart att det tär på tålamodet”, säger han.Israel brukar också hävda att Hamas plundrar hjälpsändningar och att de säljer den stulna maten för att finansiera sin verksamhet. Vad vet du om huruvida det kan stämma? ”Det är inget de har tagit upp som ett stort problem med oss. Det har varit två tillfällen under de här nästan två åren av konflikt som vi har haft problem med att Hamas har lagts i våra hjälpsändningar. Vid de tillfällena har vi protesterat och informerat Israel och andra givare”, säger Carl Skau.”Skulle det finnas såna bevis så skulle vi naturligtvis ta åtgärder mot det. Vi jobbar i många omöjliga miljöer: Afghanistan, Jemen, Somalia... Vi har erfarenhet av hur man hanterar den typen av svåra aktörer”, säger Carl Skau. Svältkatastrofen i SudanDen pågående svälten i Sudan anser Carl Skau är den värsta svältkatastrofen i världen just nu. Han tror inte att det funnits en sådan situation sen Etiopien på 1980-talet.”Det finns två städer i Sudan, en i Darfur som heter al-Fashir och en annan stad som heter Kadugli i södra Sudan som nu är omringad på ett medeltida sätt, där man har byggt jordvallar och inte låter civila komma ut. Man svälter medvetet civila. De sitter där och har att välja på att stanna kvar, bli utsvälta eller få artilleri skjutet på sig, eller försöka rymma och då riskera att bli skjutna eller våldtagna”, säger Carl Skau. ”Att det inte är mer energi och uppmärksamhet kring den frågan är jag nästan lika bekymrad över som Gaza”, säger han.Minskat biståndI år har FN:s livsmedelsprograms finansiering minskat med 40 procent, vilket innebär stora nedskärningar. ”Vi skär från dem som är hungriga för att kunna hjälpa dem som svälter. Problemet med det är att nästa år kommer det vara många fler som svälter. Man skjuter egentligen upp problemet och det blir dyrare att hantera imorgon”, säger Carl Skau.”I Afghanistan får våra kollegor som är i fält prioritera vilka vi ska hjälpa. Vilka av de utsatta ska vi hjälpa? Vi kanske väljer kvinnor, änkor som har fler än fem barn”, säger han.Till stor del beror nedskärningarna på minskade anslag från USA. ”Ungefär 40 procent av vår finansiering kommer från USA, men det skärs också i Tyskland, Storbritannien och andra stora givare. Det är en minskning på ungefär 20 procent överlag. Det är en stor utmaning”, säger Carl Skau.Programledare: Johar BendjelloulKommentar: Johan-Mathias SommarströmProducent: Johanna PalmströmTekniker: Tobias Carlsson Intervjun spelades in på förmiddagen den 19 september 2025.

HEADLINE: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman Ambitions: Turkey's Escalating Confrontation with Israel and Regional Power Plays GUEST NAME: Sinan Ciddi SUMMARY: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman ambitions are driving Turkey to increasingly confront Israel through vilifying rhetoric, alleged support for Hamas cells, and a growing military footprint across the Mediterranean and Africa, risking miscalculation and armed conflict in Syria. Erdogan is pursuing Neo-Ottomanism, escalating tensions with Israelthrough vilifying rhetoric and alleged MIT involvement in Hamas plots. Turkey's military expansion, including bases in Somalia and northern Cyprus, and advanced weaponry like drones and hypersonic missiles, positions it to dominate the Mediterranean and challenge Israel. Miscalculation in Syria poses a risk of armed conflict.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 9-17-2025 FIRST HOUR 9-915HEADLINE: Global Tensions Escalate: Nuclear Drills, Urban Warfare, and Naval Probes Amidst Shifting Alliances GUEST NAME: Jeff McCausland SUMMARY: Russia conducts tactical nuclear drills with Belarus as drones probe Polish airspace, while Israel engages in difficult urban warfare in Gaza, and the US flexes naval power against Venezuela, all against a backdrop of potential regional miscalculations. Russia's Zapad 2025 includes tactical nuclear training with Belarus, as unidentified drones probe Polish territory. Israel faces six months of challenging urban combat in Gaza, learning from Fallujah. The USconducts naval exercises near Venezuela, potentially aimed at destabilizing Maduro. Regional flashpoints in Syria risk accidental escalation between Turkey and Israel. 1930 POLAND 915-930 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Global Tensions Escalate: Nuclear Drills, Urban Warfare, and Naval Probes Amidst Shifting Alliances GUEST NAME: Jeff McCausland SUMMARY: Russia conducts tactical nuclear drills with Belarus as drones probe Polish airspace,  930-945 HEADLINE: EU Schemes to Fund Ukraine with Frozen Russian Assets, While Oil Prices Fluctuate GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: The EU devises a "clever scheme" to fund Ukraine with Russia's frozen assets by converting cash into zero-interest bonds held by Euroclear, effectively confiscating the funds while navigating legal obstacles, as global oil markets remain volatile. The EU and G7 plan to use $170 billion of frozen Russian assets, largely held by Euroclear in Belgium, to fund Ukraine. This "confiscation" involves the European Union issuing zero-interest bonds to Euroclear, allowing cash to be transferred to Ukraine as an unpayable loan. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil prices fluctuate, influenced by sanctions and Trump's calls to stop buying Russian oil. 945-1000 HEADLINE: Challenging Prospect Theory: Increasing Sensitivity to Loss in Human Behavior GUEST NAME: Tim Kane SUMMARY: Professor Tim Kane questions Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, presenting experiments that suggest humans exhibit increasing sensitivity to loss, rather than diminishing, impacting our understanding of complex rationality beyond financial gambles. Professor Tim Kane challenges Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, arguing that while losses hurt more than gains, people show increasing sensitivity to successive losses, not diminishing sensitivity. His chocolate experiment demonstrated higher demands to part with each subsequent piece, suggesting a "complex rationality" that differs in non-financial contexts from pure monetary gambles. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Nepal's "Gen Z Revolution" Against Corruption and Inequality, Amidst Geopolitical Influence GUEST NAME: Kelly Currie SUMMARY: Nepal faces its biggest governance challenge in decades as disillusioned youth, frustrated by corrupt elites and deep inequality, ignite a "Gen Z revolution" marked by widespread protests, while China and India vie for influence in the poor, landlocked nation. Nepal is grappling with widespread "Gen Z" youth-led protests, marked by violence and targeting government institutions, driven by anger over corrupt elites and severe inequality. An interim government is forming to stabilize the country and organize elections. Meanwhile, Nepal, Asia's second poorest nation, is a growing battleground for influence between China and India. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: China's Deflationary Cycle: A Consequence of Overproduction and Centralized Control GUEST NAME: Anne Stevenson-Yang SUMMARY: China is mired in a fearful deflationary cycle driven by chronic overproduction and a government unable to shift from supply-side investment to stimulating consumption, perpetuating a "race to the bottom" under CCP leadership. China faces widespread deflation, causing consumer uncertainty and stemming from government-backed overproduction. The CCP leadership pours money into factories to meet GDP targets, despite overbuilt infrastructure and property. This "involution," or economy eating itself, continues due to a lack of innovative solutions and reluctance to cede economic control. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: China's Covert Strategic Support for Russia Fuels NATO Border Tensions GUEST NAME: Victoria Coates SUMMARY: China is actively supporting Russia's efforts to destabilize NATO's eastern flank, particularly through the Polish-Belarusian border, by pushing migrants and using proxies. This "partnership without limits," declared by Xi and Putin, aims to keep the United States entangled in European conflicts, preventing a focus on East Asia. Poland, however, remains resolute and is strengthening its defenses. China covertly aids Russia in destabilizing NATO via incidents on the Polish-Belarusian border, pushing migrants and using drones. This "partnership without limits" between Xi and Putin aims to keep the US preoccupied in Europe and the Middle East, preventing a focus on East Asia. Despite this, Poland, led by President Karol Nawrocki, remains resolute, strengthening its defenses and economy. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: China's EV Market Faces Global Headwinds and Domestic Overcapacity GUEST NAME: Alan Tonelson SUMMARY: Despite innovation, China's electric vehicle market, led by BYD, is experiencing production drops, price wars, and significant international pushback due to quality, surveillance fears, and predatory trade practices, exposing a broader economic deflation. China's EV market leader BYD saw production drops amidst price wars and over 150 producers. Global markets, including the US, Japan, Germany, and South Korea, resist Chinese EVs due to surveillance concerns and predatory trade practices. Beijing maintains employment through municipal loans, but widespread overcapacity and deflation are significant challenges. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: Commodity Prices Surge Amidst Global Demand and UK Political Turmoil GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: While the south of France enjoys a pleasant harvest, global commodity prices for essential metals and select food items are spiking due to high demand and supply constraints, mirroring political unrest and leadership challenges within the UK's Labour Party. Simon Constable reports on rising commodity prices: copper, iron ore, and aluminum are up due to high demand for data centers and supply issues. Coffee prices have spiked by 51%, though cocoa and Brent crude have moderated. In the UK, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer faces internal dissent and "plastic patriotism" protests, with talk of replacing him by early next year. 1115-1130 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Commodity Prices Surge Amidst Global Demand and UK Political Turmoil GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: While the south of France enjoys a pleasant harvest, global commodity prices for 1130-1145 HEADLINE: Iraqi Intelligence Uncovers Global Islamic State Network, Highlighting African Hub's Expanding Influence GUEST NAMES: Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio SUMMARY: The Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) has made its first international bust in West Africa, revealing how Islamic State (ISIS) cells, particularly the wealthy ISWAP, are funding global attacks and supporting ISISoperations, including those in Iraq, amidst shifting jihadist strongholds and Western withdrawal from the Sahel. The Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) revealed its first international operation, dismantling an Islamic State (ISIS) cell in West Africa. This cell, linked to the powerful ISWAP, was financing attacks in Europe and supporting ISIS operations in Iraq. This highlights Africa's growing importance as a hub for the global Islamic State network, amidst a complex regional jihadist landscape. 1145-1200 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Iraqi Intelligence Uncovers Global Islamic State Network, Highlighting African Hub's Expanding Influence FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Re-evaluating Liberalism: Cass Sunstein's Defense and Critiques of its Manifest Failings GUEST NAME: Peter Berkowitz SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz analyzes Cass Sunstein's defense of liberalism "under siege," highlighting criticisms from both the new right and the woke left, and arguing that liberalism's own principles, when taken to extremes, contribute to its current pressures. Peter Berkowitz reviews Cass Sunstein's book On Liberalism: In Defense of Freedom, where Sunstein argues liberalism is "under siege" from criticisms on the right (permissiveness, criminality) and left (too weak on inequality, racism). Berkowitz suggests Sunstein mischaracterizes liberalism by overemphasizing "experiments of living" over equal rights, and neglects how liberalism's vices contribute to its challenges. 1215-1230 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Re-evaluating Liberalism: Cass Sunstein's Defense and Critiques of its Manifest Failings 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman Ambitions: Turkey's Escalating Confrontation with Israel and Regional Power Plays GUEST NAME: Sinan Ciddi SUMMARY: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman ambitions are driving Turkey to increasingly confront Israel through vilifying rhetoric, alleged support for Hamas cells, and a growing military footprint across the Mediterranean and Africa, risking miscalculation and armed conflict in Syria.

Charlie Kirk's death ignited a fire within Western civilization, and it is sending a message to the Left: No more. It's been one week since Kirk was shot dead while debating on a college campus, and the Right is reacting more viscerally than we've seen from it in recent memory. Not only that, but we're seeing worldwide support for Kirk, mass demonstrations against illegal immigration in Europe, the fall of France's government, and a grassroots movement saying, “Enough is enough,” here in America. Victor Davis Hanson analyzes the events that pushed the West to its boiling point and where we go from here on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “What is this moment? We're seeing it in the United States with thousands of people are commemorating the death of Charlie Kirk. There's no tolerance for the usual left-wing, socialist craziness, the abhorrent violent smears of conservatives who've died. And you don't see major bureaucrats, or generals, or Hollywood figures—increasingly, they're not coming out and rejoicing because they feel that they're going to get a big pushback. “ We also are tired of what I call boutique anti-Americanism. We see Ilhan Omar suggesting that our elected government is worse than the dictatorship in Somalia; or we see AOC calling Donald Trump a fascist, as she has in the past; or we see Rashida Tlaib just demonizing and damning the United States, even though her parents fled the Middle East to come here. And we're tired of it. It doesn't mean we're gonna outlaw free speech or try to use the same tactics as the critics of America do. But what we're saying is, we're a unique place. We're better than the alternative. We don't have to be perfect to be good. So, you can say all you want, but we're gonna not just ignore you, we're gonna do our best to make sure your voices have no influence.”

PREVIEW: HEADLINE: US Drone Strikes in Somalia: Tactical Tool, Not Strategic Win GUEST NAME: Caleb Weiss SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Caleb Weiss about US drone strikes in Somalia against al-Qaeda and ISIS, noting their tactical purpose in degrading capabilities and assisting Somali forces. However, Weiss emphasizes these strikes are not a strategic solution and the overall US strategy in Somalia is convoluted, confusing, and lacks transparency, much like in Afghanistan. 1950 MOGADISHU

In the middle of Somalia's civil war, when the world was falling apart, Dr. Hawa Abdi started building. On her family's land outside Mogadishu, she created a hospital, a school, a legal aid clinic, and eventually a sanctuary for tens of thousands of people fleeing violence and famine. Armed militias tried to take it. She told them to get off her front lawn. And they did. This is the story of a doctor who held the line when no one else could, and turned one patch of earth into a beacon of hope for an entire nation.

How percent of Americans are aware that the United States has been at war in Somalia for over 20 years?  America's involvement with this West African nation started during the Cold War as the U.S. scoured the globe looking for allies against the U.S.S.R. It evolved over the decades into the never-ending, soul-crushing, immoral, civil rights-erasing, War on Terror with several corrupt CIA twists and turns along the way.  The result is a war-torn country, millions displaced, hundreds of thousands dead and a bunch of rich American military contractors.  The story of America's involvement in Somalia should make one question the claim that America is a force for good in the world. How can a country driven by Judeo-Christian principles pursue a war like this?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a third time: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, military veteran, former private contractor, anti-piracy operator, and bodyguard, prison and health industry reform activist, podcaster and host of his own YouTube channel called ‘Survivor's Story, men's trauma and sexual abuse advocate, and the wolf in the lion's den roaring in the face of evil: Daniel For those new to his saga or who missed his unforgettable first episode, here's a quick recap: Born into an expatriate family in Nigeria, Daniel's childhood shimmered with privilege but concealed a chilling void of fear and neglect. Behind the wealth and high walls, unspeakable terrors haunted him, rooted in horrors he couldn't yet name. As a young man, he poured his fire into a high-octane career - elite military service, private contracting in the Middle East, anti-piracy missions off Somalia, and guarding high-profile figures. Yet, beneath his high-performing exterior, self-loathing, rage, and suicidal shadows gnawed at him, their origins a mystery.Disillusioned by the greed fueling his military path, Daniel embarked on a spiritual quest, diving into personal development and somatic therapy with relentless passion. In 2020, his world shattered and reformed. Through holistic therapies, buried memories of childhood sexual abuse including heinous organized abuses by multiple perpetrators - erupted in vivid, gut-wrenching flashbacks, plunging him into psychosis and paranoia. From the ashes of pain, Daniel forged a lifeline: forgiveness. Not as absolution for his abusers, but as liberation for himself. Initially resistant, fearing it betrayed fellow victims and survivors, he embraced it as a radical act of freedom. By severing ties and setting ironclad boundaries, he found safety to forgive from afar, transmuting resentment into love. Through grueling psychological work, Daniel wove his trauma into purpose, emerging as a warrior for healing.On today's episode, we are going to cover some different aspects of Daniel's story that we haven't talked about yet including an in-depth discussion on psychosis and paranoia and navigating the extreme mental and emotional side-effects that many survivors face when recalling memories, some of Daniel's personal artwork and the memories and inspiration behind them, and so much more. Now, through his podcast and blog under the name Survivor's Story, Daniel turns his pain into power, uplifting men's healing and amplifying survivors' voices. His mission is unyielding: to inspire - especially men - to break the silence around child sexual abuse. Daniel's words resonate like a battle anthem: “Every survivor is a hero. Set boundaries, forgive safely, and let love free you. Share your story - it matters. You can shatter trauma's chains.” From a wounded boy to a warrior of forgiveness, Daniel's journey is a call to action for all of us to confront our pain, reclaim our voices, and ignite our light.CONNECT WITH DANIEL: YouTube: @SurvivorsStory - https://youtube.com/@SurvivorsStory?si=6_2N0bYnW_Kq9ixz Website: https://survivors-story.com/CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES: https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: 420CZTL METHELENE BLUE:https://cztl.bSupport the show

Israel says it has begun 'preliminary actions' of a planned ground offensive to capture and occupy all of Gaza City. It comes as sixty thousand reservists are called up to bolster the operation which is expected to last until next year. Meanwhile, the Israeli government also approves a highly contentious plan for a new settlement near Jerusalem which would cut the occupied West Bank in two. We hear an Israeli and Palestinian perspective. Also: aid agencies in Somalia have raised the alarm over a dramatic rise in diphtheria, and a new superfood for bees to help protect them from climate change.
