Ukrainian teenagers are being recruited online to carry out sabotage against their own country in return for cryptocurrency, and for some the consequences are deadly. Ukraine accuses Russia of using Telegram to offer minors large sums of money to plant bombs or stage arson attacks. There have even been allegations that some recruits have been blown up while transporting explosive devices. This episode features a rare interview with a Ukrainian teenager who is currently awaiting trial after authorities claim they caught him planting a bomb in a vehicle used by the conscription service. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from BBC Trending in-depth reporting on the world of social media.

Edition No254 ||| Day 1,339 ||| 15-10-2025 - This is your Silicon Bites Daily Geopolitics Brief, with a rundown of news stories on 15th October 2025. We cover Ukraine, Russia, China and the global struggle against autocracy. We start with a moment of extraordinary weakness, a comment that could act as a red rag to a bull, as far as Putin is concerned, because he is provoked to aggression by weakness, not by strength and push back. Mark Rutte claims that shooting down Russian jets breaching allied airspace would be a sign of weakness. Cue a storm of criticism from Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans who actually live under the flight paths of Russia drones and missiles. We also examine Russia's latest winter strikes on Ukraine's grid; Kyiv hits back deep inside Russia; Poland warns Europe to prepare for “deep” Russian attacks; and NATO scrambles for fresh air defences as aid dips. ----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

2025-10-15 | Silicon Wafers 029 | DAILY UPDATES | Tonight: the Kremlin's intimidation tour—veiled threats to Moldova, unmarked Russian troops skirting Estonia's border, and Vladimir Putin's extraordinary admission that Russian air defense fired near an Azerbaijani passenger jet in 2024. We connect the dots: coercion, deniability, and the authoritarian habit of pushing the boundaries of the rules-based order. For those that say the rules-based order is not real, here is the evidence of what happens in its absence or when it breaks down. Drone incursions, sabotage, threats, borders violated, and in the worst-case scenarios, murder as Russia shots down a civilian Azerbaijani airliner. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

Ukrainian leader Zelensky is returning to Washington today to meet with President Trump. The US President has said he is considering sending Tomahawk missiles (nuclear-capable0 to Ukraine if the war does not end soon. Russia has again sounded a wa by Ron Paul Liberty Report

HEADLINE: US Intelligence, Tomahawks, and Escalation in the Ukraine War GUEST NAMES: John Hardie, Bill Roggio SUMMARY: The US is considering providing Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles, potentially facilitating strikes on Russian energy nodes using US intelligence. While Russia warns of escalation, experts believe their response will likely be strengthening air defense rather than direct conflict with NATO. Ukrainian officials are urgently seeking air defense systems due to increasing Russian missile and drone production. 1957

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE DISARMING OF HAMAS... 10-13-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Escalating Border Conflict Between Pakistan and Afghanistan GUEST NAMES: Bill Roggio, Husain Haqqani SUMMARY: A major border conflict has erupted between Pakistan and Afghanistan, resulting in significant casualties and air strikes. The tension is rooted in the Afghan Taliban supporting the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) and historical issues over the Durand Line. Pakistan views the Afghan Taliban as ungrateful clients, threatening Pakistan's stability. 915-930 HEADLINE: Escalating Border Conflict Between Pakistan and Afghanistan GUEST NAMES: Bill Roggio, Husain Haqqani SUMMARY: A major border conflict has erupted between Pakistan and Afghanistan, resulting in significant casualties and air strikes. The tension is rooted in the Afghan Taliban supporting the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) and historical issues over the Durand Line. Pakistan views the Afghan Taliban as ungrateful clients, threatening Pakistan's stability. 930-945 HEADLINE: Iran's Isolation and Weakening "Axis of Resistance" Post-Gaza Ceasefire GUEST NAMES: Janatyn Sayeh, Bill Roggio SUMMARY: Tehran is in a tough spot concerning the Gaza ceasefire because stability does not work in its favor, contradicting its strategy of regional destabilization. Iran skipped the Cairo peace summit, demonstrating its isolated diplomatic position. Experts note that the Iranian-led "axis of resistance" (including Hezbollah and Iraqi PMF factions) is severely weakened due to sanctions and cash flow reductions. 945-1000 HEADLINE: Iran's Isolation and Weakening "Axis of Resistance" Post-Gaza Ceasefire GUEST NAMES: Janatyn Sayeh, Bill Roggio SUMMARY: Tehran is in a tough spot concerning the Gaza ceasefire because stability does not work in its favor, contradicting its strategy of regional destabilization. Iran skipped the Cairo peace summit, demonstrating its isolated diplomatic position. Experts note that the Iranian-led "axis of resistance" (including Hezbollah and Iraqi PMF factions) is severely weakened due to sanctions and cash flow reductions. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: US Intelligence, Tomahawks, and Escalation in the Ukraine War GUEST NAMES: John Hardie, Bill Roggio SUMMARY: The US is considering providing Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles, potentially facilitating strikes on Russian energy nodes using US intelligence. While Russia warns of escalation, experts believe their response will likely be strengthening air defense rather than direct conflict with NATO. Ukrainian officials are urgently seeking air defense systems due to increasing Russian missile and drone production. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: US Intelligence, Tomahawks, and Escalation in the Ukraine War GUEST NAMES: John Hardie, Bill Roggio SUMMARY: The US is considering providing Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles, potentially facilitating strikes on Russian energy nodes using US intelligence. While Russia warns of escalation, experts believe their response will likely be strengthening air defense rather than direct conflict with NATO. Ukrainian officials are urgently seeking air defense systems due to increasing Russian missile and drone production. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: US Response to China's Rare Earth Threat and Stockpiling GUEST NAMES: Victoria Coates, Gordon Chang SUMMARY: China injected the rare earths threat into trade talks, a serious move given they supply 70% of US needs and US stockpiles are low. President Trump responded with 100% tariffs but later sought an off-ramp. Experts stress the urgent need for the US to develop a domestic supply and a national stockpile, similar to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, to counter future Chinese blackmail. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: China's Desperate Rare Earth Export Curbs and Economic Collapse GUEST NAMES: Alan Tonelson, Gordon Chang SUMMARY: China's sweeping curbs on rare earth exports are described as a desperate "hail mary" heave, risking severe economic damage, particularly given the collapse of its property bubble and external pressures. Experts agree China is undergoing a major deflationary spiral, and this move ironically contradicts the globalization from which it prospered. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: China's Aggressive Ramming Policy in the South China Sea GUEST NAMES: Captain James Fanell, Gordon Chang SUMMARY: The purposeful ramming of a Philippine Bureau of Fisheries vessel by a massive Chinese Coast Guard cutter is part of a consistent CCP strategy to claim total control over the South China Sea. Experts warn that this aggressive pattern will continue unless the US takes stronger action, such as having Navy and Coast Guard vessels escort Filipino ships, bolstering support for its treaty ally. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: China's Aggressive Ramming Policy in the South China Sea GUEST NAMES: Captain James Fanell, Gordon Chang SUMMARY: The purposeful ramming of a Philippine Bureau of Fisheries vessel by a massive Chinese Coast Guard cutter is part of a consistent CCP strategy to claim total control over the South China Sea. Experts warn that this aggressive pattern will continue unless the US takes stronger action, such as having Navy and Coast Guard vessels escort Filipino ships, bolstering support for its treaty ally. 1130-1145 HEADLINE: Analysis of Political Speech and "Dark Passions" in American Politics GUEST NAME: Peter Berkowitz SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz discusses William Galston's book on "dark passions" (anger, fear, domination), asserting that President Biden's rhetoric characterizing MAGA Republicans as a threat exemplifies this concept. Galston views Donald Trump as a new kind of politician who aggressively appeals to these passions. The current spiral of rhetorical extremism and lawfare destabilizes American politics; restoring civic education is recommended to combat this. 1145-1200 HEADLINE: Analysis of Political Speech and "Dark Passions" in American Politics GUEST NAME: Peter Berkowitz SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz discusses William Galston's book on "dark passions" (anger, fear, domination), asserting that President Biden's rhetoric characterizing MAGA Republicans as a threat exemplifies this concept.

The current spiral of rhetorical extremism and lawfare destabilizes American politics; restoring civic education is recommended to combat this. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Critical Analysis of the Gaza Hostage Exchange and Path to Peace GUEST NAME: John Bolton SUMMARY: The Gaza hostage exchange deal is criticized for lacking a path to the necessary Hamas disarmament, raising doubts about the plan's next stages. The release of 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, many hardened by prison, significantly boosts radicalism. Iran, responsible for arming Hamas, is likely to continue supporting terrorist proxies if it revives its nuclear program. 1215-1230 HEADLINE: The Houthis: Status of Attacks and Ideology GUEST NAMES: Bridget Toomey, Bill Roggio SUMMARY: Houthi attacks on Israel and the Red Sea have recently quieted down, with their leader instructing a temporary cessation following the Gaza ceasefire. The group, whose motto includes "Death to America, Death to Israel," maintains an ideological commitment to fighting Israel long term. They act independently of Arab countries, focusing instead on their own interests and those of Iran. 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado and the Future of Venezuela GUEST NAMES: Ernesto Araújo, Alejandro Peña Esclusa SUMMARY: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado received the Nobel Peace Prize for her courage against the dictatorship, inspiring Latin America. She believes liberation requires US military support against the powerful drug cartel regime. After Maduro leaves, $1.7 trillion in investment is needed, along with food and medicine, to reconstruct the nation suffering the largest Latin American humanitarian crisis. 1245-100 AM HEADLINE: Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado and the Future of Venezuela GUEST NAMES: Ernesto Araújo, Alejandro Peña Esclusa SUMMARY: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado received the Nobel Peace Prize for her courage against the dictatorship, inspiring Latin America.

Edition No253 ||| Day 1,339 ||| 14-10-2025 - This is your Silicon Bites Daily Geopolitics Brief, with a rundown of news stories on 14th October 2025. We cover Ukraine, Russia, China and the global struggle against autocracy. Russia's winter playbook returns — mass strikes on Ukraine's grid — while Ukraine pushes the war deep into Russia's energy heartland. Moscow's markets wobble, the World Bank trims growth, and Europe braces for hybrid hits on its energy lifelines. Let's go.1) Ukraine suffers another mass energy strike, blackouts in Kyiv.Russia hit Ukraine's energy system again at scale late Oct 9–10, plunging districts of Kyiv and multiple regions into darkness and disrupting water. Initial counts ran to hundreds of thousands without power before emergency crews restored much of the grid. The Kyiv Independent's on-the-ground brief captured the rhythm of the night — “missiles, one after another” — and the immediate aftermath across the city. (The Kyiv Independent)President Zelenskyy later said Moscow had waited for bad weather — cloud cover and wind — to weaken air defences. He also linked the timing to global distraction with Gaza and other stories. (The Kyiv Independent)Why it matters: The winter energy war is back. Expect recurring volleys designed to sap civilian morale, drain air-defence stocks, and force expensive repairs. What it won't do, is force Kyiv residents to abandon their city, or the struggle against Russian domination. ----------This is super important.

Georgijs Ivanovs started the Ukraine Matters channel in 2007, and it has garners 11.5 m views. He started the channel to explain the situation surrounding the war in Ukraine in simple terms. Like myself, he is not Ukrainian, nor is he a military expert. But he has been to Ukraine many times and seen it almost fully (except for Odesa region). He has a lot of good friends in Ukraine, and in fact his wife is Ukrainian, and so feels extremely connected to the invasion that scaled up in February 2022. ----------LINKS:https://x.com/MattersUkraine----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

2025-10-14 | Silicon Wafers 028 | DAILY UPDATES | Right-wing authoritarian populism is gaining sway around the world, exemplified in the US by the phenomenon of Trump's MAGA movement, across Europe and in the UK by Farage's latest pop-up populist part Reform, and by Tommy Robinson. This episode explores the assets, agents and useful idiots of the Kremlin, how they seek to leverage populism, and what we know about support and financing for extremist movements, politicians and contrarian voices by the Kremlin. We dive into the phenomenon of paradigm shifting, 'pop-up' populist parties, that often resemble Kremlin projects, such as Reform UK, Farage and his associates. Especially explore the topic through the lens of Pekka Kallioniemi and his Vatnik Soup series of profiles, which sadly has come to an end, publishing it's final episode this week.----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

16 workers killed in Tennessee explosion: Industrial carnage followed by media cover-up / Trump orders military paychecks as troops move into cities / Ukrainian court rejects motion to dismiss judge for bias as Bogdan Syrotiuk is barred from accessing dental care

2025-10-13 | Silicon Wafers 027 | DAILY UPDATES | The cracks are widening in relation to approval for Putin's handling of the war. Internal critics—especially Evgeny Minchenko's circle and Igor Strelkov (Girkin)—have broken their silence in warnings about failure, regime risk, and the unravelling of Russia's imperial project. Here's the roadmap for this episode:1. Setting the strategic context — Where Russia's war and imperial logic came from2. Minchenko, who is he and what is the logic of elite miscalculation3. Strelkov / Girkin's public rupture — critiques, incarceration, and legacy4. Reactions from the Russian establishment, analysts, civil society5. What this means for the Russian regime's futureRussia's Imperial Ambition Encounter Reality - Before we dive into critics inside Russia, it helps to remind ourselves how the war in Ukraine has always rested on several core assumptions — assumptions that are beginning to falter.Vladimir Putin's official narrative often frames the war as a necessity: “denazification,” “special operation,” or on the basis of “historical unity” of Russians and Ukrainians, as laid out in his 2021 essay “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians,” Putin argued that Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians amounted to one people, denying the legitimacy of a Ukrainian national trajectory. (Wikipedia) It was of course a vile aggregation of absurd lies. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

Why does violence seem to be everywhere and why does it no longer grieve us the way it should? In this conversation, we talk about the disturbing rise of what we call “assassination culture,” connecting the dots between social media, video games, porn, and the spiritual numbness of our time. From Charlie Kirk's murder, to the stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee, and multiple school shootings, we ask: What is fueling this, and how can Christians resist the spirit of death shaping our generation? Let's get into it. Connect With The Few! Follow us and join the conversation:

Are all empires equally bad? If some were better than others, what criteria can we use to make such judgments? Why must we study networks, not only hierarchies, to understand our past, present, and future? What happens to societies in times of catastrophe, and who has the best chances of survival? And finally — why is Ukraine so important for the world today? *** Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, editor-in-chief of UkraineWorld, and president of PEN Ukraine. Guest: Niall Ferguson — a renowned British-American historian and author of numerous books, including “Empire”, “The Square and the Tower”, “The War of the World”, “Doom”, and others. Ferguson is the Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. We had this conversation during the Yalta European Strategy Forum in Kyiv in September 2025. *** Thinking in Dark Times is a podcast of reflection from Ukraine. We try to see the light through — and despite — the current darkness.

What is the current position of Ukraine in the Ukraine-Russia war? How delicate is diplomacy with Europe and with the US for the Ukrainian government? What are the differences between working with world leaders such as Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, and Joe Biden? Rory and Alastair are joined by the former Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba (2022-2024) to discuss all this and more. Get more from The Rest Is Politics with TRIP+.

2025-10-12 | Silicon Wafers 026 | DAILY UPDATES | Russia's Manpower Gamble. In every war there comes a point where on one side, or even both, the demand for men outweighs the supply. There are insinuations that Russia is approaching — or already passing — that tipping point. In this episode, we peel back how Moscow is testing public obedience via propaganda, how earlier mobilization waves spurred a massive emigration, and how the system of conscription and “hidden mobilization” is creaking under strain. Will Putin go for another wave of full mobilisation or is his regime too brittle to take that risk. Will a called up ‘hidden' mobilisation be the path he continues to tread. We'll examine:* How propaganda is preparing the ground for a new push* The failures, backlash, and exodus triggered by the first mobilization* How Putin now leans on hidden mobilization, contract enlistment, and annual draft roundups* The unequal burden on minorities and provincial populations* Why the manpower pool is running dry — and how wasteful tactics make the shortage permanent----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

2025-10-11 | Silicon Wafers 025 | DAILY UPDATES | Energy warfare in Ukraine 2025 — is becoming a brutal duel over power plants, gas fields, and energy grids that may decide whether Moscow or Kyiv controls the winter and emerges dominant in the Spring. We'll ask: is this war's turning point? And what are the legal, moral, and strategic stakes in what is shaping up to become a brutal energy duel?Over the last year, Russia has escalated attacks on Ukraine's power and gas infrastructure, striking plants, pipelines, distribution networks — a familiar tactic from previous winters, now turned even more vicious. (RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty)A recent strike on a Ukrainian thermal power plant “seriously damaged” the facility, according to Ukrainian authorities. (Kvue) Meanwhile, Russia's latest massive assault targeted Naftogaz gas facilities — in one of the largest-ever gas-sector strikes. (AP News)These are not random. They're part of a calibrated campaign to degrade Ukraine's energy base ahead of winter — when cold, darkness, and scarcity become weapons. Resistance from Ukraine, in turn, has included counter strikes on Russian fuel depots and refineries, trying to cut Moscow's ability to sustain its war machine.

He was kind enough to come back on the podcast to talk about the strategic shifts in the war in Ukraine - about whether Ukraine is starting to turning the tide in the war, why are policymakers in Europe and the US becoming much more confident about Ukraine's chances, about the impact of Ukrainian new strategies and tactics. Or why he believes that Russia is increasingly bleeding out and might not be able to wage the war beyond next year.

From my raw tweets exposing demonic networks, to Mark Cook and David Clements unmasking the Smartmatic-Sequoia-Dominion-Liberty Vote scam—it's all the same rigged game! Dive into Joe Hoft's exclusive bombshell: BPro/KNOWiNK's uncertified, cloud-hacked systems, laced with Ukrainian code and foreign cash, illegally flipping votes and endangering democracy. And get this—Gavin Newsom's redistricting farce lets "No" votes shine through envelopes like a thief's flashlight, begging to be trashed. We cap the chaos with liberal lunacy: Katie Porter's epic meltdowns leaked by her own staff, her batgirl congressional clown show, and a parade of mask-wearing, trigender-ranting breakdowns that scream "reopen the asylums!"—plus Pelosi crashing out and activists invading ICE elevators, only to get slammed by unyielding agents.Joe Oltmann Untamed isn't just a show—it's your call to arms, patriots! Join Tommy Carrigan and I live as we rip the mask off corruption, from election fraud to border betrayals. Don't sit silent—grab your voice, hit that follow button, and rally with us on X, where the fight for truth never sleeps. Together, we'll storm the gates of tyranny!

Edition No252 | 10-10-2025 - For those not following British politics, and in fact for those that only get their news via the mainstream media the following story may com as a shock. We have our own problem with Kremlin assets, propaganda mouthpieces and useful idiots. Yes, support for Ukraine is higher than in most other countries of the world. But we also have unprincipled scumbags that are prepared to take the Kremlin's tainted pieces of silver in return for their souls. A shadow has been cast over Nigel Farage's Reform party, as Nathan Gill pleads guilty to essentially being a – Russian asset, and traitor to his country. On 26 September, former Welsh Brexit Party MEP and Reform UK official Nathan Gill pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to accepting payments for making pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament. The eight counts of bribery relate to both television and appearances in public forums. He faces sentencing in November. These charges quite likely come with a custodial sentence. This is not a fringe political scandal, but the silence of the mainstream, mostly right-wing tabloid, media, owned by a handful of billionaires is deafening. Plus, BBC coverage is minimal, in a shocking display of institutional sycophancy to the most extreme forces in British politics. ----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

Let's take a deeper look into drone warfare and the long-term changes it is bringing to the battlefield. How is Ukraine countering Russian drone attacks? How is it developing systems of drone interceptors? Are we moving toward a future where drones will fight other drones? And what skills must our societies cultivate to prepare for this new reality? *** The “Explaining Ukraine” podcast is produced by UkraineWorld, an English-language media outlet about Ukraine run by Internews Ukraine.

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show. Brett and Pete Kaliner waste no time getting into the real conversations—starting with how talk radio operates under constant pressure from anonymous texts, organized trolls, and agenda-driven callers. They expose how digital feedback loops are manipulated, how trolls are tracked and blocked, and why most people have no idea how the system really works behind the scenes. Then the tone sharpens as they shift to Antifa—discussing how labeling, funding, and foreign influence intersect. Brett draws a clear parallel between political cover and foreign mediation, warning about the consequences of legitimizing extremist groups. They call out activists operating across borders, including one figure allegedly organizing support from overseas after fleeing the country. Later Brett breaks down a largely ignored but highly significant development: Melania Trump’s direct involvement in reuniting Ukrainian children with their families after being taken into Russia. Through quiet diplomacy and backchannel communication with Vladimir Putin, Melania reportedly helped return eight children—an effort launched with a personal letter delivered during Trump’s August summit. The media reaction? Silence from MSNBC and CNN, who instead focused on unrelated political headlines. Brett contrasts this with the broader issue of child trafficking, drawing parallels to the U.S. border crisis and the cartels’ exploitation of children.

Giving Tomahawk Cruise Missiles to Ukraine would be an absolutely insane thing to do. Allowing the Ukrainians to have such missiles would put us right on the brink of Nuclear War.

President Donald Trump says Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of his Gaza peace deal and that hostages could be released within days. Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu called the agreement "a great day for Israel". Hamas confirmed the deal, but said it's awaiting details of a prisoner exchange. People have flooded the streets in Gaza and Israel to celebrate the announcement. Also: the French President, Emmanuel Macron says he'll name a new premier before the weekend. Ukraine's military accuses Russia of trying to erase Ukrainian culture by looting historical artefacts. US police have arrested a man who they believe intentionally started the Palisades fire, which devastated part of Los Angeles in January. The Portuguese athlete Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first billionaire footballer. UNICEF warns that the number of children displaced by armed gang violence in Haiti has almost doubled in the last year. Meanwhile, the United Nations is said to be intending to cut a quarter of its peacekeepers globally because of budget shortfalls, largely due to reduced US funding. The European Parliament has voted to ban the naming of meat-related terms like “burger” and “sausage” for plant-based products.

00:10:00 – The 10th Amendment CrisisKnight explains how Trump's use of the Insurrection Act violates state sovereignty and sets a precedent for federal militarization. Republican senators like Murkowski and Tillis express concern but remain too afraid to confront Trump directly. 00:21:13 – ICE Snipers and the War on ProtestVideo evidence shows ICE agents firing pepper balls at peaceful protesters and clergy. Knight argues this militarized policing proves Trump's contempt for civil liberties and the Bill of Rights. 00:30:44 – Artificial Integrity: Pam Bondi & Cash PatelKnight coins the term “artificial integrity” to describe Trump's loyalists like Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, accusing them of evasion, dishonesty, and political theater during congressional hearings about Comey and Epstein. 00:37:36 – Marjorie Taylor Greene Breaks with TrumpKnight highlights Greene's public statement rejecting blind loyalty to Trump and defending her independence. He praises her rare courage, contrasting it with the cowardice of most GOP officials. 00:41:00 – FBI Spies on Republican SenatorsRevelation that the FBI secretly accessed phone records of eight Republican senators triggers outrage. Knight mocks their hypocrisy for ignoring mass surveillance until it targeted them personally. 00:44:24 – Trump Jr.'s Pharma GriftTrump Jr. joins the board of a prescription delivery company set to profit from a Trump administration drug summit. Knight calls it blatant graft disguised as “health reform.” 00:52:21 – Gold Surges Past $4,000Knight reports that gold has shattered the $4,000 mark, framing it as a collapse of faith in fiat currencies rather than a rise in gold's intrinsic value. He warns of a global debt time bomb and urges listeners to hold physical metals, not paper ETFs. 01:21:21 – EU Approves Mass Chat SurveillanceKnight exposes the EU's “Chat Control 2.0,” a regulation scanning all private messages under the pretext of child safety. He compares it to FDR's telegram surveillance and calls it the death of digital privacy in Europe. 01:36:33 – Lagarde Pushes Digital EuroChristine Lagarde complains democracy is too slow for the rollout of a CBDC. Knight calls her “Christine the God,” saying she and von der Leyen are accelerating Europe's technocratic takeover under the guise of efficiency. 01:37:52 – California's Pre-Hate Crime BillKnight highlights California's new hate speech law as the U.S. version of European censorship. He warns it criminalizes “potential hate” and mirrors Soviet-style repression disguised as tolerance. 01:53:08 – Outlawing Hate & Christian PersecutionKnight and callers discuss how outlawing hate only drives resentment underground. They argue Christians and white males have become the primary targets of Western censorship and discrimination campaigns. 01:57:00 – Biden's CIA Cover-Up in UkraineSegment details Biden's effort to suppress intelligence on his family's Ukrainian corruption ties while pressuring prosecutors to halt investigations—evidence of long-standing collusion between the CIA and political elites. 02:03:22 – “Precious Freedom” and the Lies of VietnamAuthor James Bradley joins to discuss his book Precious Freedom, which reexamines the Vietnam War through the eyes of both Americans and Vietnamese. He describes unraveling decades of U.S. propaganda and explains how Vietnamese victory stemmed from defending their homeland—not ideology. 02:17:03 – The Fake North–South Vietnam NarrativeBradley reveals that the U.S. and CIA fabricated the idea of “two Vietnams,” turning a temporary French withdrawal line into a false border to justify intervention. Knight compares it to modern media deception surrounding COVID and other political lies. 02:28:14 – Mothers, Media, and Awakening to WarThe character Betty, a patriotic mother, mirrors America's awakening as she discovers suppressed speeches by Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King Jr. condemning the war. Knight and Bradley discuss how media censorship concealed moral opposition. 02:37:42 – CIA, Opium, and the War MachineKnight and Bradley expose General Westmoreland's alleged role in global opium trafficking and how CIA operations in Vietnam, Laos, and Italy funded covert wars. They argue mainstream media knowingly concealed this vast corruption network. 02:40:49 – The Night War Vietnam StoryBradley explains that America never “won a single 24-hour period” in Vietnam. The Vietcong fought exclusively at night while U.S. troops retreated daily, contradicting the myth that the U.S. “won every battle.” 02:43:55 – Lessons for America's Future WarsBradley likens Ho Chi Minh to George Washington, saying defenders always win when fighting for home. Knight connects these lessons to modern U.S. interventions in Iran and Venezuela, warning that America's leaders keep repeating Vietnam's mistakes. 02:55:49 – The Real Domino TheoryKnight concludes that while America fought communism abroad, Marxism quietly conquered its schools, bureaucracy, and culture—turning the “domino theory” inward.

Ever since Russia started its war in Ukraine, assessments of its military power have vacillated wildly. First, Russian forces were supposed to overrun Ukraine and crush any resistance in a matter of days. Then, they were thought to be so weak that a Ukrainian counteroffensive or a new capability might cause them to collapse altogether. Now, with the war in its fourth year, and Donald Trump's return to office bringing uncertainty about Western support, it has started to seem once again that time might be on Moscow's side. Dara Massicot argues in Foreign Affairs that none of these images reflects reality. Since the invasion began, Massicot, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, has been analyzing the state of Russia's military—its failure and its surprising resiliency. But what has struck Massicot more recently, and what she thinks many observers are missing, is the extent to which Russia has managed to learn and adapt—in Ukraine and beyond. She warns in a new piece for Foreign Affairs that “the Russian military will emerge from its invasion with extensive experience and a distinct vision of the future of combat”—experience it is already sharing with China, Iran, and North Korea. The United States and Europe should pay close attention. Because if they do not take it upon themselves to “study Russia's studying,” as Massicot puts it, she worries that they risk not just losing Ukraine but also falling behind in the next global crisis.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a major breakthrough in Alaska's mineral wars, a new AI scandal in Silicon Valley, the collapse of illegal crossings at America's southern border, a Supreme Court showdown over free speech and therapy laws, shocking new evidence of Biden family corruption, major trade and infrastructure deals from Central Asia to Africa, and the hidden health threat of microplastics. From Alaska's mining roads to Kazakhstan's railways and Germany's labs, today's brief connects America's economic revival to global corruption and the future of health and technology.   Trump Greenlights Alaska's Ambler Road and Trilogy Metals Stake: President Trump approved a fast-track permit for the Ambler Road and bought a 10 percent federal stake in Trilogy Metals, unlocking Alaska's copper, cobalt, and germanium reserves. The Ambler Mining District could make America less dependent on China for critical minerals. Bryan calls it “the most underreported but crucial story of the week.”   AI Model Claude Knows When It's Being Tested: Anthropic's Claude chatbot told researchers, “I think you're testing me,” revealing situational self-awareness and manipulation patterns similar to OpenAI's “scheming” models. Bryan warns, “The machines are beginning to recognize us — and that should terrify everyone.”   Illegal Border Crossings Hit 50-Year Low: CBS confirms crossings are at their lowest since 1970, with Trump's monthly totals down to 9,000 compared to Biden's 238,000 per month last year. Bryan argues the data “proves Biden's border crisis was a choice — a deliberate policy of demographic change.”   Supreme Court Hears Conversion Therapy Free Speech Case: Evangelical therapist Kaley Chiles challenged Colorado's ban on discussing faith-based counseling. Both conservative and liberal justices, including Elena Kagan, seemed to side with her on First Amendment grounds. Bryan recalls the 1977 ACLU defense of Nazi speech in Skokie, noting, “It's conservatives defending free speech now, not liberals.”   Biden Family Corruption in Ukraine and Romania: A declassified CIA report shows Ukrainian officials viewed Joe Biden's 2015 visit as “evidence of U.S. double standards on corruption” given Hunter's Burisma ties. Days earlier, Hunter and James Biden tried cutting a land deal in Romania tied to criminal charges. Bryan says, “This was a criminal racket, not a family — and they pardoned themselves.”   Trump's $4.2 Billion Locomotive Deal with Kazakhstan: Forbes reports the U.S. will sell 300 locomotives to Kazakhstan's Wabtec, while Trump's new “TRIPP Corridor” from Asia to Europe blocks China's Belt and Road trade route. “The White House is playing chess in Central Asia — one rail deal at a time,” Bryan notes.   Africa's Diamond Collapse and U.S. Opportunity: As Botswana's diamond market crashes, Trump eyes a rail deal connecting Zambia to Botswana to secure uranium and rare earths for U.S. industry.   Ukraine Using Drones Supplied by Kyiv Against Russia in Mali: AFP confirms Ukrainian intelligence is arming rebels, some tied to al Qaeda and ISIS, in Mali to target Russian and Chinese contractors.   German Scientists Warn on Microplastics and Gut Health: Researchers found that plastics change gut bacteria in ways resembling depression and cancer.

Accountability has suddenly become selective and the blame war is on. The Comey indictment is already revealing a lot. The veteran guardian of a fragile system. Mining data and crunching numbers. This involves controlling elections. This involves Russian intel and the phone locations of artillery crews. Fancy Bear is code written by Ukrainians at Crowd Strike. John Brennan was the burglar. You financed the Russia hoax. Hacking elections to claim certain software was used. The German servers provided coms. Hunter, his dad, and Obama were all involved. This predates Comey. That whole 911 thing had to be covered up. The FBI awarded contracts involving the DNC server hacks. A cyber security company was at the center of it all. Retroactive code and false cyber evidence. Who's the investigator on this F'g case? Network breeches and valuable data. The RNC was a target too. Who approved the bids? It sounds like a techno-thriller. Full control is usually the only answer. What is Pole Vault 7 again? On paper it makes sense, off paper it makes deals. Thousands of purposeful errors to create illusions. Private partners do all the dirty work. We must all be ready for traitors from within. History proves those are the most dangerous kind.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, during a contentious appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Pam Bondi deflected when grilled by Sen. Dick Durbin about the legal rationale for the deployment of National Guard Troops to Chicago saying "if you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump, you wouldn't have these problems". Also Dick Durbin releases false information about ICE agent raids, a newly released CIA report details Ukranian officials were left “bewildered and disappointed” by Vice President Joe Biden's December 2015 trip to Kyiv, during which he gave a speech decrying corruption as a “cancer” — with the Ukrainians accusing the US of a “double standard” given Biden's family ties to corrupt energy firm Burisma and emphasizing the corruption of the Russian hoax.

The intelligence world is evolving rapidly. Former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante explains Cold War tech, Ukraine strategy, and global conflicts. [Pt. 1/2]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1220What We Discuss with Andrew Bustamante:Number stations are still active intelligence tools. These mysterious shortwave radio broadcasts transmitting sequences of numbers remain a viable covert communication method. Using one-time pad encryption, they allow intelligence services to send untraceable messages to operatives worldwide. The receiver is nearly impossible to identify since anyone with a cheap shortwave radio could be listening, making this Cold War technology still relevant in the digital age.World War III may already be underway. According to Andrew, there are currently 161 active conflict zones globally, most involving multiple countries supporting different sides through proxy warfare. This represents a fundamentally different kind of world war — not the massive conventional battles of WWII, but an interconnected web of conflicts where nations profit economically from supporting wars without direct engagement.Russia is winning in Ukraine. Despite Western support, Russia continues to control 17-18% of Ukrainian territory and maintains consistent progress. Putin's long-term messaging strategy has been remarkably effective, and with decreasing US support, Ukraine faces an increasingly difficult position. The conflict may ultimately result in a divided nation, with reconstruction contracts becoming the real prize for both Western and Russian interests.Leaving the CIA is designed to be nearly impossible. The Agency provides zero transition assistance and maintains operatives in "leave without pay" status rather than terminating them, making it easy to return but extremely difficult to move forward. Covert officers face resume gaps they cannot explain, fake work histories that don't check out, and a cover rollback process that can take years — all designed to make former officers fail and return.International experience creates unique opportunities and safety nets. Whether it's obtaining dual citizenship for your children, understanding how to navigate corrupt systems (like ducking into upscale hotels owned by powerful people when police hassle you), or recognizing that Americans abroad often receive preferential treatment, global exposure provides tangible advantages. Part two will explore more about modern espionage, global conflict, and what it means for the rest of us.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
