While the destruction in the Middle East has been fierce, the media war surrounding who controls the narrative of events has been no less intense. And MintPress News has been caught up in it. Our investigations into Israeli attempts to manipulate public understanding of the genocide in Gaza have drawn the ire of The Jerusalem Post, who recently attempted to cancel us, labeling MintPress as part of a network of Iranian, Russian and Syrian-backed extremist websites pushing antisemitism.Alan MacLeod, senior staff writer and podcast producer at MintPress News, will join the MintCast host to discuss this. Alan's investigations, which revealed a network of former Israeli spies and lobbyists working in newsrooms across America, went viral and were read by hundreds of thousands of people.His report, entitled: “Revealed: The Israeli Spies Writing America's News,” discussed how former agents from Israeli spying group Unit 8200 have found a home in some of the corporate media's most prominent outlets, including Axios and CNN.Unit 8200 is the centerpiece of Israel's surveillance state and has been the source of many of the most controversial spying and hacking scandals of the last decade. Former Unit 8200 agents developed the Pegasus spyware, which was used to snoop on activists, journalists, world leaders and royals around the world.His second investigation cataloged hundreds of ex-Israel lobbyists who went on to work in newsrooms across the country. One example of this is the NBCUniversal network. CNBC's lead work report was, until 2011, a commander in the Israeli Defense Forces before moving back to America to work for the Friends of the IDF. This group raises money for supplies and support for Israeli soldiers, as well as encouraging Americans to enlist in the Israeli military. This pro-Israel bias goes straight to the top. MSNBC's executive producer, Moshe Arenstein, is a former IDF intelligence commander.The traction that these groundbreaking stories were receiving clearly put MintPress in the Jerusalem Post's crosshairs, the Israeli newspaper publishing an attack against us.Support the showMintPress News is a fiercely independent.

Het enige grote Europese bedrijf dat batterijen maakt voor elektrische auto's is op sterven na dood. Het Zweedse Northvolt heeft uitstel van betaling aangevraagd. En daarmee lijkt de enige kans voor Europa verkeken, om volledig zelfstandig elektrische auto's te kunnen bouwen. Northvolt kreeg het maar niet voor elkaar om de productie op orde te krijgen. En met nog een week aan financiële reserves te gaan, stapt ook nog eens de CEO op. Je hoort of ook de rest van de Europese autosector ten dode is opgeschreven. En we hebben het ook over die andere opstapper: Gary Gensler. Eigenlijk zou hij tot 2026 de voorzitter van de Amerikaanse beurswaakhond zijn, maar hij heeft geen zin om die functie onder Donald Trump uit te blijven voeren. En met zijn ontslag voorkomt Gensler trouwens ook dat Trump een verkiezingsbelofte kan uitvoeren. Als je wilt weten welke belofte dat is, dan moet je luisteren. Tot slot Nvidia. Dat heeft nu nog nipt een voorsprong op Apple als het grootste beursbedrijf ter wereld. Maar volgens onze gast Jean-Paul Oudheusden komt daar snel verandering in. Hij denkt dat Nvidia volgend jaar als eerste bedrijf de 5 biljoen dollar aan gaat tikken. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The building that houses The Ostos Memorial Museum has a rich history in Las Cruces, NM, originally starting out as a school in 1915.

This week we have an interview with Josie, where she shares some of the paranormal activity she's witnessed there, the hauntings some of her guests and family have experienced, and what this building means to her and her family.

This week, Super Friend Sofia will be joining us to discuss the film and some of the feature vignettes that resonated with us, what was going on in Wisconsin during that time that led to some of the gruesome events featured in the movie, and why we Stan Mary Sweeney.

In the late 1890's Nepal villagers began disappearing from the forests and surrounding areas at an alarming rate. They soon discovered that they were being attacked by a 500 pound Bengal tiger.

In Champawat, its killing rampage continued, claiming 236 more lives. This week, we'll discuss The Champawat Maneater and why it started targeting humans as its prey, why it claimed so many human lives, and the man that was able to finally stop her killing spree!

In 1986 CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather was attacked by 2 men. As he was being punched and kicked one of the attackers kept shouting “Kenneth, what is the frequency?!” As leads on the attackers went cold, this seemingly random act of violence was chalked up to mistaken identity. When REM released the single “What Is The Frequency, Kenneth?” in 1994, there was a renewed interest in the case, but there were no additional leads, until the shooting of an NBC employee would bring out a confession. This week, we'll discuss who the man that attacked Dan Rather was, if this really was a case of mistaken identity, and what was meant by Kenneth, what is the frequency?

Living in a cave, not gonna lie, sounds pretty cool. For over 30 years, a monk Giovanni Maria De Agostini lived in caves all over Europe, Brazil and America. He was so admired that he gathered a following in almost every country he went to. So much so that he still has a small number of followers who make pilgrimages to his old cave home in New Mexico to this date. But, why would someone choose to live like this, in a day when homes are available?

The Mexican city of Tampico, Tamaulipas is in the Southeastern region of Mexico overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. It was once known for regularly getting hit by hurricanes, but a hurricane hasn't made landfall since 1966. Many believe this is due to the region being protected by aliens, as UFO's first started to be reported regularly in the region in 1967. Believers of this theory claim their extraterrestrial protectors have an alien base named Amupac a few miles from the coast of Tampico passed the Miramar beach. Today, we'll discuss the UFO event that spawned the Amupac theory, eyewitness accounts from a man who claims to have visited the alien base, and what might really be diverting hurricanes away from the region.

The brand Stanley and their cups have been around for over 100 years. They got their start by catering to the common blue collared man who worked long hours, and needed a way to keep his drink of choice cold or warm for long hours. In 2020, a group of women who managed a blog by the name of “The Buy Guide” started pushing the Stanley Cup and the perks of owning one. They reached out to Stanley in an attempt to get them to market to an untapped market, 20-50 something year old women. At first Stanley didn't buy into the hype but they figured they would give it a shot and allowed these influencers to do their thing - INFLUENCE. In this episode we'll give you a brief history lesson on the man behind it all, William Stanley Jr., the phenomenon of the Stanley cup craze, and the claims of lead poisoning that could be their possible downfall.
