This week we talk about the PKK, Turkey, and the DEM Party.We also discuss terrorism, discrimination, and stateless nations.Recommended Book: A Century of Tomorrows by Glenn AdamsonTranscriptKurdistan is a cultural region, not a country, but part of multiple countries, in the Middle East, spanning roughly the southeastern portion of Turkey, northern Iraq, the northwestern portion of Iran, and northern Syrian. Some definitions also include part of the Southern Caucasus mountains, which contains chunks of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.So this is a sprawling region that straddles multiple nations, and it's defined by the presence of the Kurdish people, the Kurds, who live all over the world, but whose culture is concentrated in this area, where it originally developed, and where, over the generations, there have periodically been very short-lived Kurdish nations of various shapes, sizes, and compositions.The original dynasties from which the Kurds claim their origin were Egyptian, and they governed parts of northeastern African and what is today Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. That was back in the 8th to 12th century, during which Saladin, who was the sultan of both Egypt and Syria, played a major historical role leading Muslim military forces against the Christian Crusader states during the Third Crusade, and leading those forces to victory in 1187, which resulted in Muslim ownership of the Levant, even though the Crusaders continued to technically hold the Kingdom of Jerusalem for another hundred years or so, until 1291.Saladin was Kurdish and kicked off a sultanate that lasted until the mid-13th century, when a diverse group of former slave-soldiers called the mamluks overthrew Saladin's family's Ayyubid sultanate and replaced it with their own.So Kurdish is a language spoken in that Kurdistan region, and the Kurds are considered to be an Iranian ethnic group, because Kurdish is part of a larger collection of languages and ethnicities, though many Kurds consider themselves to be members of a stateless nation, similar in some ways to pre-Israel Jewish people, Tibetan people under China's rule, or the Yoruba people, who primarily live in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo, but who were previously oriented around a powerful city-state in that region, which served as the central loci of the Ife Empire, before the Europeans showed up and decided to forcibly move people around and draw new borders across the African continent.The Kurds are likewise often politically and culturally powerful, and that's led to a lot of pushback from leaders in the nations where they live and at times operate as cultural blocs, and it's led to some very short-lived Kurdish nations these people have managed to establish in the 20th century, including the Kingdom of Kurdistan from 1921-1924, the Republic of Ararat from 1927-1930, and the Republic of Mahabad, which was formed as a puppet state of the Soviet Union in 1946 in northwestern Iran, following a Soviet push for Kurdish nationalism in the region, which was meant to prevent the Allies from controlling the region following WWII, but which then dissolved just a few months after its official formation due to waning support from the Kurdish tribes that initially helped make it a reality.What I'd like to talk about today is the Kurdistan Worker's Party, and why their recently declared ceasefire with Turkey is being seen as a pretty big deal.—The Kurdistan Worker's Party, depending on who you ask, is a political organization or a terrorist organization. It was formed in Turkey in late-1978, and its original, founding goal was to create an independent Kurdish state, a modern Kurdistan, in what is today a small part of Turkey, but in the 1990s it shifted its stated goals to instead just get more rights for Kurds living in Turkey, including more autonomy but also just equal rights, as Kurdish people in many nations, including Turkey, have a long history of being discriminated against, in part because of their cultural distinctiveness, including their language, manner of dress, and cultural practices, and in part because, like many tight-knit ethnic groups, they often operate as a bloc, which in the age of democracy also means they often vote as a bloc, which can feel like a threat to other folks in areas with large Kurdish populations.When I say Kurdish people in Turkey have long been discriminated against, that includes things like telling them they can no longer speak Kurdish and denying that their ethnic group exists, but it also includes massacres conducted by the government against Kurdish people; at times tens of thousands of Kurds were slaughtered by the Turkish army. There was also an official ban on the words Kurds, Kurdistan, and Kurdish by the Turkish government in the 1980s, and Kurdish villages were destroyed, food headed to these villages was embargoed, and there was a long-time ban on the use of the Kurdish language in public life, and people who used it were arrested.As is often the case in such circumstances, folks who support the Kurdish Worker's Party, which is often shorthanded as the PKK, will tell you this group just pushes back against an oppressive regime, and they do what they have to to force the government to backtrack on their anti-Kurdish laws and abuses, which have been pretty widespread and violent.The PKK, in turn, has been criticized for, well, doing terrorist stuff, including using child soldiers, conducting suicide bombings, massacring groups of civilians, engaging in drug trafficking to fund their cause, and executing people on camera as a means of sowing terror.Pretty horrible stuff on both sides, if you look at this objectively, then, and both sides have historically justified their actions by pointing at the horrible things the other side has done to them and theirs.And that's the context for a recent announcement by the leader of the PKK, that the group would be disarming—and very literally so, including a symbolic burning of their weapons in a city in northern Iraq, which was shared online—and they would be shifting their efforts from that of violent militarism and revolution to that of political dialogue and attempting to change the Turkish government from the inside.Turkish President Erdogan, for his part, has seemed happy to oblige these efforts and gestures, fulfilling his role by receiving delegates from the Turkish, pro-Kurd party, the DEM Party, and smilingly shaking that delegate's hand on camera, basically showing the world, and those who have played some kind of role in the militant effort against the Turkish government, that this is the way of things now, we're not fighting physically anymore, we're moving on to wearing suits and pushing for Kurdish rights within the existing governmental structures.The founder of the PKK, Abdullah Ocalan, got in on the action, as well, releasing a seven-minute video from prison, which was then broadcast by the PKK's official media distribution outlet, saying that the fighting is over. This was his first appearance on camera in 26 years, and he used it to say their effort paid off, the Kurds now have an officially recognized identity, and it's time to leverage that identity politically to move things in the right direction.Erdogan's other messages on the matter, to the Kurdish people, but also those who have long lived in fear of the PKK's mass-violence, have reinforced that sentiment, saying that the Kurds are officially recognized as a political entity, and that's how things would play out from this point forward—and this will be good for everyone. And both sides are saying that, over and over, because, well, child soldiers and suicide bombings and massacres conducted by both sides are really, really not good for anyone.By all indications, this has been a very carefully orchestrated dance by those on both sides of the conflict, which again, has been ongoing since 1978, and really picked up the pace and became continuous and ultra-violent, in the 1980s.There was an attempted peace process back in the 20-teens, but the effort, which included a temporary truce between 2013 and 2015, failed, following the murder of two Turkish police officers, the PKK initially claiming responsibility, but later denying they had any involvement. That led to an uptick in military actions by both groups against the other, and the truce collapsed.This new peace process began in 2024 and really took off in late-February of 2025, when that aforementioned message was broadcast by the PKK's leader from prison after lawmakers from the pro-Kurdish DEM Party worked to connect him and the Turkish government, and eventually helped negotiate the resulting mid-May of 2025 disarmament.Turkey's military leaders have said they will continue to launch strikes against PKK-affiliated groups that continue to operate in the region, and the PKK's disarmament announcement has been embraced by some such groups, while others, like the Syrian Democratic Forces, which is tied to the PKK, but not directly affiliated with them, have said this truce doesn't apply to them.Most governments, globally, have heralded this disarmament as a major victory for the world and Turkey in particular, though the response within Turkey, and in Kurdish areas in particular, has apparently been mixed, with some people assuming the Turkish government will backtrack and keep the DEM Party from accomplishing much of anything, and worrying about behind-the-scenes deals, including a reported agreement between Erdogan's government and the DEM Party to support Erdogan's desire to transform the Turkish government into a presidential system, which would grant him more direct control and power, while others are seemingly just happy to hear that the violence and fear might end.Also notable here is that a lot of Turkey's foreign policy has revolved around hobbling and hurting the PKK for decades, including Turkey's initial hindering of Sweden's accession to NATO, which was partly a means of getting other nations to give the Turkish government stuff they wanted, like upgraded military equipment, but was also a push against the Swedish government's seeming protection of people associated with the PKK, since Sweden's constitution allows people to hold all sorts of beliefs.Some analysts have speculated that this could change the geopolitics of the Middle East fundamentally, as Turkey has long been a regional power, but has been partly hobbled by its conflict with the PKK, and the easing or removal of that conflict could free them up to become more dominant, especially since Israel's recent clobbering of Iran seems to have dulled the Iranian government's shine as the de facto leader of many Muslim groups and governments in the area.It's an opportune time for Erdogan to grab more clout and influence, in other words, and that might have been part of the motivation to go along with the PKK's shift to politics: it frees him and his military up to engage in some adventurism and/or posturing further afield, which could then set Turkey up as the new center of Muslim influence, contra-the Saudis' more globalized version of the concept, militarily and economically. Turkey could become a huge center of geopolitical gravity in this part of the world, in other words, and that seems even more likely now that this disarmament has happened.It's still early days in this new seeming state of affairs, though, and there's a chance that the Turkish government's continued strikes on operating PKK affiliated groups could sever these new ties, but those involved seem to be cleaving to at least some optimism, even as many locals continue hold their breath and hope against hope that this time is different than previous attempts at peace.Show Noteshttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/heres-what-to-know-about-turkeys-decision-to-move-forward-with-swedens-bid-to-join-natohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%932015_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://carnegieendowment.org/emissary/2025/05/turkey-pkk-disarm-disband-impacts?lang=enhttps://www.middleeasteye.net/news/pkk-claims-deadly-suicide-bombing-turkish-police-stationhttps://web.archive.org/web/20161016064155/https://hrwf.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Child-soldiers-in-ISIS-PKK-Boko-Haram%E2%80%A6.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers%27_Partyhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2025/jul/11/kurdistan-workers-party-pkk-burn-weapons-in-disarming-ceremony-videohttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/18/turkiye-pkk-analysis-recalibrates-politicshttps://time.com/7303236/erdogan-war-peace-kurds/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/19/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-in-iraqhttps://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-near-iraqs-sulaymaniyah-2025-07-19/https://www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story/2025/7/11/why-has-the-pkk-ended-its-armed-strugglehttps://archive.is/20250718061819/https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025-07-17/ty-article-opinion/.premium/how-the-possible-end-to-turkeys-kurdish-problem-could-become-israels-turkey-problem/00000198-1794-dd64-abb9-bfb5dbf30000https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kurdish_dynasties_and_countrieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Kurdish_nationalism This is a public episode.

Southwest Airlines will introduce assigned seating and a new eight-group boarding system starting January 27, 2026, ending its longtime open boarding policy. Barcelona plans to close two of its seven cruise terminals in an effort to curb overtourism, reducing cruise capacity by 6,000 passengers by decade's end. Meanwhile, global business travel spending is expected to reach a record $1.6 trillion in 2025, driven largely by higher spending per trip, with India, South Korea, and Turkey leading market growth.

Ariana Resources PLC (AIM:AAU) managing director Kerim Sener talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest exploration and development updates across its projects in Zimbabwe and Turkey, as well as the status of its planned ASX listing. Sener detailed the identification of a significant gold and soil anomaly located just 125 metres northeast of the Dokwe North pit rim. The anomaly exhibits coincident arsenic and gold signals, similar to the Dokwe North discovery, and is now a priority drilling target. “It's one of the most exciting discoveries that we've made on the project to date,” Sener said. He also explained the benefits of using DetectORE technology in the field, which provides fast, cost-effective soil analysis—often delivering results within 24 hours, drastically reducing turnaround times for decision-making. On the development side, Ariana is nearing first gold pour at the Tavşan project in Turkey. Sener confirmed heap leach liner installation is complete, hot commissioning has begun, and the company is awaiting final government sign-offs. He also shared that 6,000 metres of a 15,000-metre drilling program has been completed, targeting both resource conversion and potential mine life extensions. Finally, Sener provided an update on the company's ASX listing, noting that the prospectus will soon be submitted, with reviews from ASIC and ASX to follow.

One of the world's most protracted armed conflicts could finally be drawing to a close in Turkey. This month, a small group of fighters from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been waging an armed struggle against the Turkish state for greater minority rights, voluntarily disarmed. At a ceremony in northern Iraq, PKK commander Bese Hozart announced that the disarmament by 30 fighters - 15 men and 15 women - was undertaken freely and in line with the group's commitment to pursue a democratic socialist society through peaceful means. The fighters' weapons were burned as part of the symbolic event. The move came just days after the release of a video message from imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, who reiterated his call for an end to the armed struggle and the formal dissolution of the group. It was the first time the Turkish public had heard Öcalan's voice since his incarceration in 1999. PKK ends 40-year fight but doubts remain about the next steps Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan responded by telling supporters that the country had reached a historic moment. Ankara now expects a complete disarmament of the remaining PKK fighters by autumn. Since the beginning of the peace process last year, Erdoğan has ruled out making concessions, insisting the rebels are unilaterally surrendering. However, the high-profile nature of the disarmament ceremony is increasing pressure on the government to respond in kind. “This is a historic moment; this is a conflict that has been going on for nearly half a century. Now it's the government's turn to actually open up the political space,” said Aslı Aydıntaşbaş of the Brookings Institution in Washington. “Both the Kurdish side and the Turkish side are telling their own constituencies that they're not giving up much—trying to convince their bases, which, in both cases, seem unprepared for such a radical shift,” she added. Kurdish leader Ocalan calls for PKK disarmament, paving way for peace Opaque negotiations, rising distrust As a gesture of goodwill, the government has reportedly improved Öcalan's prison conditions and allowed communication through a so-called “secretariat.” However, the PKK continues to press for broader concessions, including an amnesty for its members and the right for ex-fighters to return to Turkey. There have also been calls for Öcalan's release, alongside the release of tens of thousands of individuals jailed under Turkey's broad anti-terror laws. Yet concerns are mounting over the transparency of the peace negotiations. “It's really difficult even to assess it because we don't really know what's going on,” said Zeynep Ardıç, an expert on conflict resolution at Istanbul's Medeniyet University. “Some negotiations don't need to be public, but the public should still be informed,” she said. Ardıç warned that the current polarization in Turkish politics and a legacy of mistrust built over decades of conflict make transparency essential. “There should be a bit of transparency, because people don't trust state institutions, people don't trust each other, people don't trust the government or the judiciary. So, it's not easy to succeed under these circumstances. The government needs to reinstall trust - not just among Kurdish people, but among Turkish people as well.” Politics could undermine fragile progress Following the disarmament ceremony, Erdoğan announced the formation of a parliamentary commission to oversee the process, including members from his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), his coalition partner the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), and the pro-Kurdish People's Equality and Democracy Party (DEM). Notably absent was the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), whose exclusion is fueling fears that Erdoğan is politicizing the peace process. Erdoğan requires the support of Kurdish parliamentarians to amend the constitution and potentially remove presidential term limits—allowing him to remain in power indefinitely. Turkey's Saturday Mothers keep up vigil for lost relatives “Erdoğan is trying to juggle two conflicting priorities,” noted analyst Atilla Yeşilada of U.S.-based consultancy Global Source Partners. “A: give the Kurds the least of what they want in return for a constitution that allows him to run again, and B: broaden his war against the CHP. I don't know how he can finesse that.” While Erdoğan speaks of a new era of unity between Turks, Arabs, and Kurds, he is simultaneously escalating a legal crackdown on the CHP, even going so far as to label the party a terror threat. This is a risky move, given that the pro-Kurdish DEM party has previously supported CHP candidates in both presidential and mayoral elections. Kurdish analyst Mesut Yeğen, of the Center for Social Impact Research in Istanbul, warned that Erdoğan may be overplaying his hand. “If Erdoğan's pressure on the CHP continues, then it's likely that DEM's electorate, members, and cadres could grow discontent,” Yeğen predicted. “They'll think that if Erdoğan succeeds against CHP, he'll start a similar campaign against the DEM. So I think they will strike a kind of balance.” Turkey's rivalry with Iran shifts as US threats create unlikely common ground Despite the uncertainty, powerful incentives remain on both sides to pursue peace. With the PKK largely pushed out of Turkish territory and facing military defeat, and Erdoğan in dire need of parliamentary support, momentum for a resolution is strong. But with negotiations shrouded in secrecy, many remain skeptical about what kind of peace this process will ultimately deliver.

As a dictatorship consolidates in Turkey, aspiring strongman Recep Tayip Erdogan is launching a special attack on municipalities, arresting the mayor of Istanbul and removing elected governments in hundreds of cities and towns across the country—mostly in the restive Kurdish east. In the United States, aspiring strongman Donald Trump is now threatening to similarly remove Zohran Mamdani if he becomes mayor of New York, and order a federal take-over of the city government. Border czar Tom Homan says he will "flood the zone" with ICE agents in "sanctuary cities" such as New York and Los Angeles. In Episode 287 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg argues that Trump forcing the issue could accelerate the breaking point in which localities coast-to-coast assert their autonomous powers in repudiation of the fascist-coopted federal leviathan—vindicating Murray Bookchin's theories of radical municipalism.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 232-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,346 on turnover of $9.8-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed slightly higher Thursday as contract chipmaker TSMC moved in a narrow rage ahead of an investor conference slated to open after the trading session. Analysts say investors remained cautious before the chipmaker gave guidance for the third quarter, and it was no surprise that the Taiex fell into consolidation mode throughout the session. Attention shifted to select old economy stocks and the buying provided some support to the broader market. 5 arrested on suspicion of money laundering via virtual accounts The Criminal Investigation Bureau says it had busted a money laundering ring and arrested five people suspected of using e-commerce platforms to conceal (隱藏) the flow of illicit funds. The CIB says the raid and arrests followed an investigation of suspicious financial flows, facilitated by illegal third-party payment providers and a gambling syndicate (聯合組織). Investigators say the money laundering ring was essentially providing "real-time payment services" for a gambling syndicate involving about $30-billion NT over a one-year period. After months of surveillance and investigation, the CIB task force launched a coordinated raid of the two third-party payment companies on March 13-th and arrested five suspects. They were handed over to the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office on charges that included fraud and money laundering. Trump denies plans to fire Fed Chair Powell Donald Trump has denied he plans to fire the head of the US central bank Jerome Powell.

UN Chief Wants More Progress from Cyprus Talks The United Nations chief says he would have liked more results from his meetings with the rival leaders of divided Cyprus. The Turkish Cypriot leader said Thursday that he was “very, very upset” that there was no agreement on opening four new border crossings. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the meetings “constructive” (建設性的) and pointed to progress on four of the six initiatives the leaders agreed to in March. But he cautioned that “there's a long road ahead.” The Mediterranean island was divided in 1974 when Turkey invaded following a coup by supporters of uniting the island with Greece. Only Turkey recognizes a Turkish Cypriot declaration of independence, and it maintains more than 35,000 troops in the island's northern third. Brazil Lower House Passes Controversial Environmental Legislation Brazil's lower house has passed a controversial bill that overhauls environmental legislation. The bill simplifies environmental licensing, allowing companies to self-declare compliance (遵守) online. Environmental experts warn this could increase pollution, deforestation, and water scarcity while threatening protected areas. Over 300 non-profits, including Greenpeace and WWF Brazil, have opposed the bill, calling it a major setback. The legislation now awaits President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's decision to either approve or veto it, fully or partially. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. －－－－以下訊息由 SoundOn 動態廣告贊助商提供－－－－

In this engaging conversation, Parker and Jeff Stringer share their experiences in turkey hunting, the bond between father and son, and their journey into the world of archery equipment manufacturing. They discuss the importance of ethical hunting practices, the science behind broadhead design, and the joy of cooking and enjoying wild game. The episode highlights the significance of family, mentorship, and the values instilled through hunting and archery. Turkey hunting often brings unexpected successes, but it's the shared journey—rather than the final outcome—that truly defines the experience. The bond between fathers and sons is strengthened through time spent together in the field, where family traditions are passed down and lasting memories are made. Ethical hunting practices and well-designed broadheads are crucial for responsible sportsmanship and can significantly impact success. Beyond the hunt, simply being in nature provides a sense of peace and fulfillment. Cooking and enjoying wild game enhances the overall experience, connecting hunters more deeply to the food they harvest. Supporting U.S. manufacturing helps bolster local economies and promotes ethical production practices, while customer feedback plays a vital role in driving product innovation and improvement.

To All the Turkeys I've Missed BeforeAndy Gagliano and Cameron Weddington, discuss their recent turkey hunting misses and some of the factors they believe contributed to them.Cameron shares details about his single miss from the past year, attributing it to a "stupid" rushed shot and offering insights into how he improved his shooting, including patterning different shells and switching back to open sights. Andy recounts two misses, one from a Texas hunt in challenging weather and another from his home state, speculating on potential causes like different ammunition or a turkey's unexpected mid-flight maneuver. They also express gratitude to their listeners for donations to the NWTF (National Wild Turkey Federation) and TFT (Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center) from a raffle, highlighting the significant impact these funds have on wild turkey research and habitat management.Buy some merch and great sounding The Turkey Hunter diaphragm turkey calls from our Shopify store by clicking here: https://theturkeyhunterpodcast.myshopify.com/Join our Patreon group and get additional content, discounts on merch, and other great perks by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/TheTurkeyHunterPodcast80

Once upon a time, 2 c*nts sat down to read some folktales from around the world. These are these stories:Tale 1: Tanuki's Gold (Japan)A tanuki is a Japanese racoon dog that shape shifts from time to time and brings good fortune. Now we will say, the one in this story doesn't necessarily shape shift (that we know of anyways) but he does bring fortune and most importantly. FRIENDSHIP! This one is really sweet, you guys.Tale 2: Horse-Dew and the Witch (Turkey)Say it out loud before you listen: what do you think "Horse-Dew" is!!?? How wrong were you? We've got a classic double-life story going on here, and unless you have Islamic Folklore knowledge, this one will keep you guessing. A royal, 3 daughters, a witch, a couple with magical powers that is still somehow struggling... this one has everything.Tale 3: The Mitten (Ukraine) This one is VERY sound effect and voice acting heavy, so you are WELCOME for that. How many animals can fit into a single mitten? Let's see....

In this episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost welcome special guest Joaquin Flores for an in-depth exploration of the escalating geopolitical conflicts in Syria, Azerbaijan, and beyond. The conversation opens with analysis of Israel's sudden strikes on Damascus and the Druze regions, dissecting how internal Israeli politics, including Netanyahu's fragile coalition, are driving aggressive military actions. The discussion expands to the strategic aims of partitioning Syria along sectarian lines to create buffer zones and disrupt Russian and Iranian influence. From there, the hosts dive into the tangled dynamics in the Caucasus, explaining how Azerbaijan's ambitions, energy corridors, and tensions with Armenia could be used to bait Russia into a second front. They examine Turkey's delicate balancing act between NATO and Russia, the implications of pan-Turkic ideology, and how overlapping proxy interests risk merging the Ukrainian and Middle Eastern theaters into one broader conflict. The episode closes with reflections on NATO's looming financial crisis, the potential bankruptcy of European powers fueling arms sales, and whether Trump's geopolitical maneuvers are deliberately designed to drain the West's war machine.

On Monday, President Donald Trump announced two measures aimed at pressuring Russia to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. First, Trump said Russia would face tariffs “at about 100%” if it did not agree to a peace deal in the next 50 days, adding that he would impose secondary sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil, such as China, India, Brazil, and Turkey. Second, he outlined a plan for countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to purchase weapons from the United States and then transfer them to Ukraine. The announcement follows recently heightened criticism from President Trump towards Russian President Vladimir Putin over his purported unwillingness to end the war.

As a newly arrived immigrant from Turkey, Hamdi Ulukaya learned to be resourceful, determined, and even stubborn when he needed to be. All those traits would serve him well as he began to navigate the hairpin turns of building a yogurt business from the ground up. In 2005, Hamdi was running a small feta cheese business in upstate New York when he happened upon a piece of junk mail that would change his life: an ad for an abandoned yogurt factory...$700K, as is. He knew if he could get his hands on it, he could bring a new kind of dairy product to the U.S.—the thick, creamy yogurt he'd grown up eating in the mountains of Turkey. With the help of a local bank, Hamdi bought the factory, and sales grew so quickly that he could barely keep up. A few years later, some bad business decisions nearly pushed the company into bankruptcy, but today, Chobani is one of the most popular yogurt brands in the U.S; and Greek-style yogurt has become a staple of the dairy aisle.This episode was produced by Josh Lash with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

This week on Blurry Creatures, we welcome two brilliant minds—Dr. Judd Burton and Dr. Aaron Judkins—for a mind-bending conversation about one of the oldest and most mysterious archaeological sites on Earth: Göbekli Tepe. In their new book Decoding Göbekli Tepe: Biblical Anatolia and the Watchers, the authors explore the ancient symbolism, spiritual significance, and possible supernatural connections surrounding this enigmatic site in modern-day Turkey. We delve into the theory that Göbekli Tepe was more than just a temple—it was a place of resurrection rituals, ancestor worship, and possibly even the influence of the biblical Watchers. Could this ancient site be linked to the Nephilim? Was it part of a global network of pre-flood civilizations? And what do vultures, phallic symbols, and Luwian hieroglyphs have to do with it? From biblical echoes to supernatural speculation, this episode explores the thin veil between ancient history and the blurry realm of the divine and the forbidden. . Learn more about your ad choices.

Pastor Ara Tarosian joins Mike and Tim to share his incredible journey from persecution in Iran to building a vibrant church community in Los Angeles. He went viral a few weeks ago for a visdeo he posted of members of his congregation being abducted by ICE (See our instagram this week for the video). From surviving the Iranian Revolution to smuggling Bibles and leading a massive underground church, Pastor Ara's story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. In this thought-provoking discussion, he recounts the challenges faced by Iranian Christians, the cultural and political hurdles of immigration, and how faith can endure under immense pressure.  This episode explores themes of cruciformity, faith and politics, the role of the church in society, and navigating cultural challenges in a deeply divided world. Pastor Ara's experiences shed light on the global realities of persecution, the resilience of faith in Jesus, and the call for the church to embody justice, mercy, and compassion in the face of injustice. Join the conversation as we examine how the teachings of Jesus intersect with real-world struggles and what it means to stand in solidarity with persecuted communities.  Key Topics: Pastor Ara's background and journey to the U.S. The realities of seeking asylum and the legal hurdles involved The role of faith and community in navigating these challenges A call for compassion and reform in immigration policies Guest: Pastor Ara Tarosian, Cornerstone West LA Call to Action: Listen, reflect, and share this episode to raise awareness about the human stories behind immigration and asylum.

Anyone who has hunted turkeys in the Southeast for any period of time has seen a sharp decline in the huntable population of the wild turkey. I was fortunate enough to grow up in the good old days of the wild turkey here in South Carolina. Spring mornings filled with thunderous gobbles from 7-10 different birds every morning was heaven for this hunter.  Today, those same woods are silent. What happened? This is the question we are attempting to address in this episode. Today we have Travis Sumner back with us to discuss the decline of the turkey in the southeast. His knowledge, experience and land management practices have created a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable people on this topic.  www.nwtf.org www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com
