 Jon Stewart has just concluded a six-year investigation of a VHS Tape showing an alleged interrogation of a Gray Alien who was captured sometime around 1991 and held in the S-2 facility at Area 51. Stewart was sent an email from an insider with a list of ten names of officials in the room during the interrogation and was able to track down some of the officials to confirm their involvement. This included a Carthusian monk whose identity Stewart learned about and he was able to interview. The monk confirmed his participation in classified government programs involving interrogation of foreigners and exotic individuals.Stewart learned that the cameraman who filmed the alien interrogation was part of an acclimation program approved by the MJ-12 Group. Stewart discussed others such as Dr. Daniel Burisch and Bob Lazar who were also part of acclimation programs sponsored by MJ-12 that approved the release of extraterrestrial related information. Stewart asserts that a significant proportion of MJ-12 members are in favor of disclosure.Stewart was able to learn the identity of the mysterious Victor who first publicized the alien interrogation video after receiving it from the cameraman. According to Stewart, Victor's real name is Stanton John Willett, whose name was mentioned in an Area 51 log book.Stewart's remarkable conclusion that the Alien interrogation video is genuine has not been pursued by members of the US Congress who instead have focused on claims of alien biologics recovered from UFO crashes.  Stewart believes that members of Congress are pursuing limited hangouts when it comes to the UFO topic rather than focusing on the video evidence of a live alien being interrogated.Jon Stewart can be reached by email at: jonalanstewart@aol.comThe full alien interview can be watched at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=devj5cNlLhMJoin Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

We face a special challenge in America.James Naughtie speaks to veteran US politician John Kerry about the state of American politics and his long career at the top of global affairs.As well as standing for president himself as the Democratic candidate in 2004, he served as Secretary of State in the Obama administration and as Joe Biden's climate envoy. Secretary Kerry was at the centre of some of the most significant global crises in recent history from Iraq to Iran and Syria. He still believes one of America's greatest foreign policy mistakes was invading Iraq in 2003 without first seeking formal approval from the US Congress.He is forthright in his views on America today, saying he has never seen anything like what the country is living through. He describes politics as defined by greed and insensitivity, and guided by the lowest aspirations. For his Democratic party to return to power once more, he challenges them to face and address the issues the American people care about, including immigration.

By Scotty Reid | Black Talk Radio News A Breaking Points segment claimed U.S. mainstream media and establishment politicians only recently began broadcasting graphic images of famine in Gaza. While that holds, it overlooks earlier warnings and vital grassroots documentation. Cindy McCain: Leading the Alarm from 2023 As Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme since March 2023, Cindy McCain, widow of Sen. John McCain, consistently warned the world about looming famine in Gaza. By November 2023, she was predicting widespread starvation—and by May 2024, declared that northern Gaza was in full-blown famine, calling for humanitarian corridors and massive aid scale-up. TikTok: Visual Evidence when Other Platforms Shut It Down While platforms like Facebook and Instagram suppressed pro‑Palestinian content, Israel, AIPAC, the US Congress, and Donald Trump lobbied and got a law passed to ban TikTok explictly because of real images coming out of Gaza but despite this, the platform remained a channel where Palestinians and journalists could upload live footage of the mass starvation—unfiltered and uncensored. These viral videos reached global audiences long before mainstream outlets aired similar imagery. Tweets: Politicians Begin Commenting — Only in Mid‑2025 Hillary Clinton (X/Twitter — July 2025) “Aid organizations report that thousands of children in Gaza are at risk of starvation while trucks full of food sit waiting across the border.” This tweet appears to be her first public statement on Gaza since 2023, and it specifically called out stalled aid. Barack Obama (X/Twitter — July 28, 2025) “While a lasting resolution to the crisis in Gaza must involve a return of all hostages and a cessation of Israel's military operations… these articles underscore the immediate need for action to prevent the travesty of innocent people dying of preventable starvation. Aid must be permitted to reach people in Gaza. There is no justification for keeping food and water away from civilian families.” This marked his first public engagement on starvation in Gaza. Cory Booker (Statement — circa July 25, 2025) “Witnessing the catastrophic hunger and suffering of civilians… in Gaza has been heartbreaking. … It is our collective moral duty to ensure that humanitarian relief reaches those who need it most urgently.” His first publicly documented comment in six months; he notably did not name Israel explicitly. Amy Klobuchar (Photo-op & subsequent post — July 2025) • On July 9, she appeared in a smiling photo-op with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, indicted by the ICC, alongside other U.S. senators including Cory Booker. • Days later, she issued her first public statement on Gaza starvation, calling the humanitarian crisis “unacceptable” and urged urgent aid in response to NGO warnings. ✅ Fact-Check Summary Table The Bigger Picture • TikTok's citizen content—posted and viewed globally—helped fuel broader awareness when corporate platforms muted or removed sensitive imagery. • Cindy McCain and global humanitarian agencies were sounding alarms well before U.S. politicians spoke publicly. • U.S. lawmakers and cable news editors held back graphic images and messages until public pressure and viral documentation forced wider exposure. • Politicians whose campaign funding benefited from AIPAC-aligned electorates remained silent until months into the crisis—raising concerns about ideological complicity beyond mere omission. Conclusion By mid-2025, establishment voices finally echoed what humanitarian agencies and Palestinian journalists had been documenting since 2023. But the visuals and urgency that pressed the world into broader awareness came through TikTok, not state newsrooms. The delayed public commentary from Democrat's questionable leadership is not a case of them expressing real-time ethics and this appears more like reactive optics—born of the undeniab...

SES is championing a new era - one where partnerships, agile technologies, and bold ideas are breaking old cycles and building a more connected future. Through conversations with leaders in cloud, telecommunications, sustainability, and space infrastructure, we dive into the stories shaping the next frontier of global connectivity. What if your phone could connect to space? Not with a bulky terminal, but with the device already in your hand, wherever you are, no matter the infrastructure on the ground? In this first episode of the series, we hear from Amy Mehlman, Executive Vice President and Chief Global Affairs Officer at Lynk Global. Amy has shaped telecom and space policy for nearly thirty years - from Congress to the FCC, from multinationals to NewSpace startups. Today, she's helping guide a company that's redefining who can connect and how, through a new model of global access. In this episode, Amy and SSPI's Tamara Bond-Williams explore how unmodified mobile phones can connect directly to satellites: no towers or special hardware needed. Amy Mehlman is EVP and Chief Global Affairs officer at Lynk Global. She is a senior telecommunication professional with nearly three decades hands-on experience helping innovative companies secure favorable public policies, government contracts and secure market access by working with government representatives, industry partners, and multilateral NGOs. Most recently, Mehlman worked as VP for Global Affairs and Stakeholder Relations at E-Space Inc. where she led global policy efforts shaping the rapidly growing non-geostationary satellite market, successfully-pursued government contracts, obtained market access, spearheaded partnerships, and oversaw legislative efforts. Prior to that Amy served as VP of U.S. Government Affairs and Global Policy at Viasat, leading their domestic and international policy efforts on satellite licensing, space safety and equitable access to spectrum. Earlier in her career, Amy was Founder and President of a successful boutique telecommunications public policy firm (Mehlman Capitol Strategies) representing over 30 companies before the U.S. Congress, FCC & Executive Branch.

What is driving Donald Trump's America – and what lessons might the rise of the MAGA movement, and the Democrats' defeat in the 2024 US presidential election, hold for Keir Starmer and the Labour Party?   Tim Ryan, a former Democrat nominee for President, served in the US House of Representatives for Ohio for over two decades. He ran for President in 2020 and then the US Senate from Ohio in 2022, an election won by JD Vance – the future US Vice President.   On Monday 14 July, Tim Ryan joined Anushka Asthana, Channel 4's US Editor, at the Institute of Government, to share his experiences of US politics – and what other countries can learn from the rise and return of President Trump. What lies behind the dissatisfaction in US voters that saw Trump return to the White House? How can the Democrats build a vote-winning agenda? And what was it like to face JD Vance – and how influential is the Vice President on Trump's America?   This event was introduced by IfG Director and CEO Dr Hannah White.   Tim Ryan, the former representative for Ohio, was in London with PPI to champion the Campaign for Working Americans – the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) mission to develop ideas and policy proposals to help the US Democratic Party reconnect with working Americans. Ryan represented Ohio in the US Congress from 2003–23, and ran for the Senate in Ohio in 2022, an election JD Vance won and went on to become US Vice President.    Anushka Asthana joined Channel 4 News in June 2025 as US Editor. She previously worked at ITV News, where she had been Deputy Political Editor since 2021 and co-presented Peston since 2018. Prior to joining ITV, Anushka was joint Political Editor of The Guardian, having worked for Sky, The Times, and The Observer.

She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law Association. In 1999 Karen reported the corrupt take-over of the second largest bank in the Philippines. The Bank's Country Director in the Philippines reassigned Karen when she asked him to sign a letter warning the Philippines' government that the Bank could not disburse its loan. Two days after informing the Board's Audit Committee of the cover-up in the Philippines, Karen was reprimanded and placed on probation. The Chair of the World Bank's Audit Committee requested an inquiry into the World Bank's Institutional Integrity Department. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations followed up with three letters to the World Bank. The World Bank forged documents and fired Karen in contempt of Congress. In 2007 Karen advised the US Treasury Department and US Congress that the US would lose its right to appoint the President of the World Bank if the current American President of the World Bank did not play by the rules.

The President of the United States signed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” into law on July 4th. The new legislation brings big changes to the future of U.S. clean energy development. It reduces many (though not all) of the Biden-era subsidies from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA). This week on the podcast, our guest is Mike Carr, Executive Director at SEMA Coalition—an organization supporting the U.S.-based solar supply chain. Mike has extensive experience in U.S. federal energy policy, including past positions at the Department of Energy and the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy. Jackie and Peter asked Mike: How would you characterize the Bill's impact on U.S. clean energy, and what damage has it caused? At a high level, does this major policy shift lessen the appetite for investment, even in areas where subsidies remain, due to concerns about political uncertainty? For clean technology manufacturing, such as solar panels, do the newly introduced restrictions on Foreign Entities of Concern (like China) regarding content, intellectual property, and investment make it more challenging to qualify for the production tax credit (45X)? Renewable energy projects that commence construction within a year of the Bill's passage can still be eligible for subsidies for the following four years; does this create a construction boom, and what happens afterward? Given China's dominant position in manufacturing many types of clean energy technology, how should the U.S. compete? Is it better to leapfrog China with innovation, rather than simply following and producing the same technology?Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

In this special Fourth of July episode, we're talking about The Big Beautiful Bill—yes, it passed, and yes, it's time to get on board. While I normally support smaller, single-issue legislation (so we can actually see what's in these bills), there's still a lot to be excited about here. From major investments in border security to a strong push toward deporting illegal immigrants, this bill takes some long-overdue steps in the right direction.Sure, there are parts that could've been better—and no surprise, Elon Musk isn't thrilled because it didn't personally benefit him as much as he hoped—but overall, I agree with the majority of what's in it.Tune in as we break down the good and the bad inside The Big Beautiful Bill—and what it means for the future of our country.Happy Fourth of July, and let's keep America strong.

While serving in the US Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee and Homeland Security Committee. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. Our conversation is focused on: The US airstrikes authorized by President Trump targeting Iran's nuclear sites and the realities on the ground within the Middle East. Lessons Learned in the Middle East | The next step as calls for "regime change in Tehran" grow louder within the Iranian diaspora, and the importance of an organic grown opposition in Iran to revolt, rather than foreign intervention. The rise of socialism in America's major cities. Ten percent of NYC voters choose a socialist with anti-Semitic views as the official Democratic Party's NYC mayoral candidate for the November 2025 election. Rise of Socialism in America | Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist embracing radical views which undermine the U.S. Constitution would be the first Muslim to lead the nation's largest city if elected. His chants for a "free Palestine" and the public call to "Globalize the Intifada" - a slogan used by pro-Palestinian activists to call for widespread violence against Jews and Israel has raised serious concerns from within New York and around the country. Focusing on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as it carries out its responsibilities in arresting illegal immigrants involved in criminality. On the efforts of ICE within Virginia: “We are now through over 2,000 arrests as part of the Virginia Homeland Security Task Force. It's working, and most importantly, we're getting really tough bad guys off the street.” - Governor Glen Youngkin, Virginia In addition to the conversation on US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites authorized by President Trump and the reaction by Democrat leaders on the Hill, Tom Garrett also highlights the challenges we face within America as New York City's democrat voters elect a staunch socialist as its candidate for this November's mayoral election. Tom Garrett is a US Army veteran and served in locations including the perilous Balkan region during the 1990s right after the Dayton Peace Accords were signed. He served as Assistant Attorney General, Commonwealth of Virginia. In 2016, Honorable Tom Garrett was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.

In August, 1964, three North Vietnamese gunboats attacked an American destroyer. This incident was followed by a perceived (but imaginary) second attack. These attacks, although one was not real, led to the US Congress passing the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which authorized the president to take “all necessary measures to repel armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.” Johnson then authorized Operation Rolling Thunder, a massive and ongoing bombing of North Vietnam. He also decided to send the first American ground troops to South Vietnam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cynthia McKinney has made a career of speaking her mind and challenging authority. With her opinions, actions, and even her sense of style, McKinney has inspired both admiration and controversy. McKinney´s political career began unofficially in 1986 when her father, Georgia State Representative Billy McKinney, put her name on the ballot as a write-in. Cynthia McKinney was living in Jamaica at the time and did not take the matter seriously; still, she garnered a large percentage of votes without even trying. Two years later, McKinney ran for and won the seat, creating the first father/daughter combination to serve together in the Georgia State House of Representatives. Cynthia immediately began making her own mark, defying House dress codes for women by wearing trousers instead of dresses. She spoke out against the first Persian Gulf War, and despite being in the House with her father, she often disagreed and voted against him. In 1992, McKinney won a seat in the US House of Representatives in Georgia´s newly created 11th district. She was the first African-American woman to represent Georgia in the US Congress. McKinney became Secretary of her Democratic freshman class and was placed on both the Agricultural Committee and the International Relations Committee. Her gold tennis shoes and braided hairstyle became her trademarks, and effectively raised her profile on a House floor dominated by white men. Though a Democrat during President Clinton's tenure, McKinney voted against NAFTA, showing that she was not one to simply follow the Party line. McKinney worked hard in Washington to clean up pollution in her district and improve its rural roads. During her second term, McKinney earned distinctive committee assignments with the National Security Committee and the International Relations Committee's International Operations and Human Rights Subcommittee. A supporter of a Palestinian State in Israel-occupied territory, she sparked controversy by criticizing American policy in the Middle East. After the 9/11 attacks, McKinney suggested the President might have had prior knowledge of 9/11. The criticism she received from this highly controversial idea probably contributed to her defeat in the 2002 election; however, she ran for the seat again and was re-elected in 2004. Between terms in office, McKinney traveled the country and Europe, speaking against the war in Iraq war and also about her 2002 defeat, which she attributed to Republicans being organized to “cross over” to vote against her in the Democratic primaries. Her career, including this episode of her defeat, was made into a documentary film titled American Blackout. Once back in office, she continued her criticism of the Bush administration on the first anniversary of the 9/11 Commission Report by gathering victims' families and intelligence experts together on panels to address the flaws in the report and critique its recommendations regarding foreign and domestic policy. Believing the government should not keep secrets from the people, McKinney introduced legislation to release the documents related to the death of Tupac Shakur and twice submitted a bill to release the sealed documents pertaining to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. McKinney was very active in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and a vocal critic of the government's response. When Democratic Party leaders encouraged a boycott of a Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina, she chose to participate and submitted her own report on the matter. In 2007, McKinney left the Democratic Party to become a Presidential Candidate for the Green Party.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
