Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid finally get to take a victory lap. The leaked Trump and Netanyahu phone call dropped this week, the one where Trump reportedly told Bibi he would be in jail if it weren't for him, and even Mark Levin confirmed the leak was real. Josh argues the White House leaked it themselves as a strategic move, and the entire save Israel for last thesis Alpha and Josh have been pushing for over a year just got vindicated in public. From there the guys unpack Chevron's grip on Israeli oil infrastructure, why Trump fired Rick Grenell for trying to renegotiate the Chevron deal in Venezuela, the Israel to Gaza pipeline play, the six hundred billion dollar defense pacts that make Gaza essentially untouchable, and why Megyn Kelly went on Sean Ryan in full doom mode this week. The deep state operatives got caught flat footed and the unified messaging took hours to spin up. Plus Bill Pulte rug pulling Tom Cotton for DNI and the genius double hat strategy that gives Pulte mortgage fraud and intelligence community access simultaneously, the Iranian decentralized ELF command structure, the Q plus comms cascade with double posted patriots are in control memes, and Scavino's every journey has an end tied to Ender's Game.

Despite mass Russian assaults on Ukrainian cities, Moscow's progress on the battlefield stalls. Also, police in Paris suspend dozens of school assistants in more than 100 schools, preschools and nurseries for abusing youngsters. And, Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado says she is planning to return to Venezuela “very soon” and expresses confidence that the country will emerge from authoritarian rule. Plus, a conversation about using the beloved axolotl as a World Cup mascot in Mexico as the real animal remains critically endangered.We are aiming to raise $30,000 by June 30.

 Gabriela Rangel, director of Tucson's Museum of Contemporary Art, was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. As a curator focusing on Latin American art, she's worked at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Americas Society in New York City, and the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. In the fall of 2025 she became the director of Tucson's Museum of Contemporary Art.  In this podcast with Caroline Tracey, The Border Chronicle's arts & culture editor, Rangel discusses how the concept of Latin American art" didn't come from Latin America, the necessity for politics in art, and what it's like living and working in the Sonoran Desert “This is a borderland city,” she says of Tucson. Of how the border figures into contemporary art, she adds: “Urgent matters in the repertoire of contemporary art are also crucial for the borderlands: water, ecosystems and immigration—these are issues that contemporary art has adopted in their concerns....Contemporary art is about what's happening in the present.”

Vanessa Vallecillo y Silvia Ribeiro comentan los principales titulares y noticias de la prensa digital e impresa centrada en Zapatero.

Russia Bonds We know we promised to talk about Venezuela. But we got distracted by a filing in the district courts in DC. A claim for payment on Tsarist bonds from 1917, being made in 2026. How could we pass that up? We also confess to being intrigued that the lawyers for Russia have asked that the judge in DC — Judge Friedrich — give Rule 11 sanctions against the plaintiffs. There are clear potential barriers to this claim on the merits but asking for Rule 11 sanctions on this basis seems a bit rich. Plus, we love the resuscitation of old Tsarist or Imperial bonds.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid open Episode 27 with Q post 916, "saving Israel for last," and make the case it is actively unfolding right now. Netanyahu is weaning off US funding, defying Trump at every turn, and European countries are rushing to fill the void. Then the guys break down Trump's deliberate discombobulation strategy as a form of AI data warfare, explaining why his contradictory posts are not chaos but a calculated operation to corrupt the enemy's predictive models. Tulsi Gabbard is set to leave the DNI on June 30 with a mass declassification that could trigger a national emergency on election integrity. Iran's nuclear dust, Venezuela's uranium seizure, and Uranium One start connecting in ways that point back to very familiar names. And July 4 is shaping up to be the symbolic starting gun for everything the community has been waiting for.

Nuestro Insólito Universo ¦¦ Perego y el diablo , En los cinco minutos de duración que tiene este programa se narran historias asombrosas referentes a cualquier tema.La primera transmisión de este programa se realizó por la RadioNacional de Venezuela el 4 de agosto de 1969 y su éxito fue tal que, posteriormente, fue transmitido también por Radio Capital y, actualmente, se mantiene en la Radio Nacional (AM) y en los circuitos Éxitos y Onda, de Unión Radio (FM), lo cual le otorga una tribuna de red AM y FM que cubren todo el país, uno de los programas radiales más premiados y de mayor duración en la historia de la radio de Venezuela.

La mayoría de las personas intentan entender Venezuela a través de la política, Jonathan Jakubowicz decidió explicarla a través de una historia.En esta conversación hablamos sobre el origen de Secuestro Express, la creación de Las Aventuras de Juan Planchard, la corrupción durante el chavismo, el colapso social venezolano y el poder que tienen las novelas y el cine para explicar realidades que muchas veces los discursos políticos no logran capturar.

Send us Fan MailA former Republican, Vietnam veteran, and longtime US diplomat joins us for a blunt look at what breaks first when a presidency runs on loyalty instead of limits. We talk about the “guardrails” that used to stop bad ideas in their tracks and what it means when those guardrails disappear: fewer people willing to say no, more governing by unilateral moves, and more public retaliation aimed at critics. Along the way, we challenge ourselves to listen outside our algorithm and ask what we might be missing.We dig into immigration reform with more nuance than the usual cable news fight. Border security and compassion are not opposites, and we walk through what controlled legal immigration can look like, how ICE should support local policing rather than dominate it, and why focusing on serious criminals is both more effective and more legitimate. We also explore why political slogans and identity driven messaging can boomerang, and why an economic story about opportunity, work, and mobility still moves persuadable voters.Then we widen the lens to executive power and national identity: the controversy around private money funding major public projects, the lawsuit opposing a massive Arlington Cemetery arch that veterans call a vanity build, and how intimidation through litigation can wear people down. On foreign policy, we weigh Venezuela and Iran through the hard questions leaders should ask before military action, and we lay out why Ukraine is a clear moral test with real consequences for Europe and the broader world order. If you care about democracy, civil discourse, and US leadership at home and abroad, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of the Josh Caray Show, Josh talks to Trash Pandas catcher JJ D'Orazio.  JJ discusses growing up in Venezuela, playing for Italy in the World Baseball Classic and how he is helping the current crop of Trash Pandas pitchers become Major Leaguers.

A father and his four-year-old child, Alexander and Alexandra, were abducted off of North Lake Ave in Albany and taken to the ICE headquarters at 11 Old Stonebreak Road, Malta NY. ICE agents had been staking out the neighborhood for some days. Hearing that this family was facing immediate removal to Texas and then to Venezuela, Capital Region Sanctuary Coalition organizers moved quickly and rallied allies outside the headquarters. The next day over fifty neighbors gathered on the corner of Lake Ave and Central Ave in Albany, to denounce ICE and deportations and to amplify rapid response mobilizations against raids and abductions like this. Sal Rochelle spoke with Jahaira and Amanda from CRSC about their work.

Ralph speaks to independent investigative journalist Lylla Younes to discuss her reporting on Israel's assault on southern Lebanon. Then, Ralph and media studies professor Robin Andersen discuss her new book "The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of the Genocide in Gaza."Lylla Younes is a Beirut-based journalist. She is an editor at The Public Source, and a frequent contributor to Drop Site News.What we've seen in the past several days is really an escalation of what's been happening since March 2nd (when the US-Israeli assault on Iran took off) and then obviously the ceasefire… What we see is a campaign of ethnic cleansing from the Israeli military in Lebanon. And that has looked like the Gaza playbook sped up, you could say, in southern Lebanon. It's looked like invading and bulldozing homes; tearing up roads; destroying, booby-trapping, and detonating entire villages and cultural sites. It's looked like targeting medical personnel—killing, at this point, over 100 since March 2nd (this is in addition to the 130 or so who were killed in the last round of fighting in 2024). In addition to that, the targeting and killing of journalists who are reporting near the border. I think it's important to note there's practically no one left in the border region. Having a press vest on and a microphone and a camera is basically like having a target on your back at this point.Lylla YounesThe pager attack was, I think it's fair to say, one of the darker days of Lebanese history. I think regardless of people's feelings about Hezbollah, the fact that you are setting men alight literally in the streets in cities all across the country, killing children, maiming children—the mark of the pager attack was that these pagers that Hezbollah members were carrying exploded in their faces and blinded them. So you have thousands of blinded people, people missing fingers. And again, some of these are relatives of Hezbollah members. It was a massive event that overwhelmed hospitals across the country. And it also marked the beginning of that 66 day [period] of escalated fighting. And it showed how deeply infiltrated Hezbollah was in an intelligence capacity. This was quite a feat by the Israeli Mossad.Lylla YounesRobin Andersen is professor emerita of media studies at Fordham University and an award-winning author of a dozen single- and co-authored books. She serves as a Project Censored Judge, and contributes to the annual State of the Free Press. She is on the Board of Directors of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), where she also writes regularly, and is an Izzy Award Judge for the Park Center for Independent Media. Her latest book is The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel's Genocide in Gaza.In my book, I look at the directives of the New York Times and CNN, and then I compare it to media coverage. And I found that, in fact, these were the ways [the directives that were passed down] in which the media was presenting the genocide in Gaza…But in terms of the Israeli directives, CNN was putting their copy through their Jerusalem bureau and the IDF was looking at it. The New York Times was simply going along with Israeli talking points. So we did find that. And the real telling part was when they finally did say that Israel dropped the bomb, it was only when Israel had admitted—or put their propaganda to the next level, which was to claim that they had killed a Hamas commander or a fighter or somebody involved in Hamas. And we found that also in the BBC. So those were direct things that came from Israel. And abandoning their journalistic mission, the US media was basically following the dictates of a foreign government.Robin AndersenTheir form of censorship was basically murder. They knew that as the genocide wore on (and Israel controlled the narrative for a very long time, and then it started to collapse) as over time we saw on the internet, we saw on our handheld devices the documentation of what was happening [they'd lose control of the narrative]. And so in a total propaganda environment, what we have to have is no noise, no opposition, no alternative information. And Israel really was trying to achieve a total propaganda environment. It wasn't enough that they had establishment in legacy media and those media were allowing outside influences to direct their editorial decisions. That wasn't quite enough.Robin AndersenNews 5/29/26* This week, Democratic Socialist Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani unveiled his plan to construct 200,000 new rent-stabilized homes in the city over the next decade, PIX 11 reports, making good on a campaign promise that many supposedly savvy political observers doubted. In addition to the new construction, Mamdani vowed to “preserve and stabilize” an additional 200,000 via New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) repairs, increased housing code enforcement, and a special focus on development in the Bronx. In his announcement, Mamdani said “We are the largest city in the nation. We have the resources, the talent, and the will to achieve this.”* In the federal government, one of the most controversial members of the Trump administration – former Democratic Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard – has resigned her position as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The BBC reports Gabbard is citing her husband's recent bone cancer diagnosis as the reason for her departure, but also notes that Gabbard “has largely been out of public view even as the US took military action against Iran, put pressure on Cuba, and…removed Venezuela's president.” In theory, these would all require a substantial degree of participation from and coordination with the DNI, but Gabbard seemed pointedly out of the loop. The actions of the administration have also been diametrically opposed to Gabbard's past foreign policy positions, defined by her 2020 slogan “no more regime change wars.” Others have noted that Gabbard now joins former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as high-profile women ousted from the Trump administration while glaringly incompetent men like Pete Hegseth remain in their posts.* Turning to Texas, this week saw a political bloodbath in the runoffs for the primaries held back in March. The topline of course is that scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, backed by Trump, triumphed over powerful longtime incumbent Senator John Cornyn. With the backing of the president, Paxton wiped the floor with Cornyn, winning around two-thirds of the vote. Yet Paxton goes into the general election against James Talarico very weak. 35% of those polled “Disapprove Strongly” of Paxton with only 15% saying they “Strongly Approve” according to the Texas Politics Project and even the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) condemned Paxton's “lies” “incompetence” personal scandals and corruption in now-deleted press releases. Further down the ballot, incumbent Democratic Members of Congress Al Green and Julie Johnson have been defeated in their primary run-offs, after being forced into Member-on-Member races by the Texas redistricting scheme.* Meanwhile in Michigan, NOTUS reports the Working Families Party (WFP) has endorsed progressive Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed. This primary campaign, with El-Sayed running against moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens and liberal state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, has become a bruising tripartite affair pitting the three major factions within the Democratic Party against one another. Recently, El-Sayed has taken the lead in this race, which WFP hopes to help consolidate, saying it is prepared to go “all in” on this race. WFP is feeling confident following their role in helping to ensure victory for Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania and Analilia Mejia in New Jersey.* In the Garden State, Senator Andy Kim was caught in a cloud of pepper spray this week as he joined protestors outside of a privately-run ICE detention facility, NJ.com reports. The protests began as a result of an ongoing hunger strike inside of the facility, which has led many high-profile New Jersey Democrats – including Governor Mikie Sherill and Congressman Robert Menendez Jr. in addition to Senator Kim – to call for the facility's closure. Following the confrontation, Kim stated that “What we saw here is unfortunately just what we see all over the country…It's sad…sad day.” At another point, Kim said “The cruelty that you see behind me, this is the point…Right now, I'm trying to have them not point guns at us.”* In another case of outrageous overreach by the Trump administration, Fox reports the Treasury Department has served subpoenas to CodePink activist Medea Benjamin and political streamer and influencer Hasan Piker seeking “financial, logistical and communications information” regarding their recent humanitarian voyage to Cuba. According to this story, the Treasury probe – handled through their Office of Foreign Assets Control – is primarily concerned with whether the convoy “violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned the probe, writing that “Weaponizing the Treasury Department to target Americans for exercising their constitutional right to support human rights is unacceptable.” CAIR went on to call the investigation “performative and politically-motivated,” contending that “Every American who believes in the rule of law and human rights should stand in solidarity with Medea and demand that the Treasury Department drop its McCarthyite witch hunt.”* The Democrats meanwhile are once again conspiring against one another. The Bulwark reports the campaign to unseat Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is back on – and now includes viable alternatives. Previously, discontent was mounting but there did not appear to be any other options. Presently though, the list circulating in Democratic circles consists of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, former EMILY's List president Stephanie Schriock, former president of the Service Employees International Union Mary Kay Henry, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro, former chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes, and former Wisconsin party chair Ben Wikler. Wikler, who revitalized the Beaver State party and placed second against Martin in the DNC Chair election, has “rebuffed discussions about leading the DNC, saying he wants nothing to do with effort to remove Martin and isn't interested in replacing him.” Yet even with no obvious alternative, calls are mounting for Martin to step aside. This piece cites statements by progressive Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, as well as a new initiative by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee on one side, alongside statements by more moderate Reps. Marc Veasey and Seth Moulton to the same effect. Still, many state parties and an equally ideologically diverse coalition is standing by Martin, so he will likely remain in place, at least for the time being.* Looking southward, this week Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that her country will host the Iranian team ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Per Al Jazeera, the United States, which is hosting many of the matches, including all three the Iranian team was scheduled to play in, expressed that they did not think it “appropriate” for Iranian team members to be in the country, “for their own life and safety.” FIFA approached Mexico as an alternative. In her daily press conference, Sheinbaum stated that “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico.” The Iranian team has also announced they will be moving their training base from Tucson to Tijuana, but still plan to enter the United States to play their games – with Trump saying they will be “welcome,” despite the fact American authorities have yet to issue the necessary visas.* Our final two stories involve the Pope. First, AP reports that this week Pope Leo XIV made an historic apology not only for the Catholic Church's role in legitimizing slavery, but its failure to condemn the practice for centuries afterwards. Pope Leo called this a “wound in Christian memory.” Leo, the first American Pope, can point to both enslaved people and slave owners in his familial lineage, a remarkable vantage point from which to issue this statement in his first ever encyclical ”Magnifica Humanitas.”* Yet, for how historic this section of the encyclical is, it is not the portion of it that drew the most attention. That would be the section on Artificial Intelligence. Pope Leo writes “Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.” Leo goes on to make the critical point that “technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate, and use it.” He further goes on to state that “the pressure of new ideologies or certain highly powerful interests” can reduce the human person to “a resource to be used and exploited” or evaluated “on what they achieve or produce,” whereas God creates each individual person in His image and imbues them with inherent dignity. It is impossible to say whether the Pontiff's words will move the titans of the tech industry to change their ways, but his moving rhetoric is sure to significantly influence the world's view of AI, both today and for students of history.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Last week, the American government charged the former Cuban leader, Raúl Castro, with conspiracy to kill US nationals. They accuse him of playing a part in the downing of two planes in 1996, which were flying between Cuba and Florida. This comes after months of the US putting increasing pressure on the country. In January, President Trump threatened to impose tariffs on any country who supplied oil to the island, resulting in huge energy shortages ever since, with some parts of the country being without power for 22 hours a day. But Cubans have been living under a strict trade embargo for decades, so they are not unfamiliar with such hardships. José Carlos Cueto López of BBC Mundo is from Cuba, and knows exactly what it's like for people living in such challenging circumstances.  The UN says that at least 32 political prisoners have been executed in Iran since February this year. The UN's Human Rights Office has warned that the death penalty is increasingly being used to silence political dissent. Last year, Iran carried out 2,159 executions according to Amnesty International, the highest number since 1981. The Iranian government says that the vast majority are for drugs related offenses or murder. Ghoncheh Habibiazad of BBC Persian has been trying to find out more about the political prisoners who've been executed this year, and she told me about her findings.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services.

Margaret Hoover talks to General Tamir Hayman, former head of the IDF's military intelligence unit, about the state of the war in Iran, the status of negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, and what he believes the U.S. and Israel have gotten right and wrong so far.Hayman is now executive director of the Institute for National Security Studies, an independent think tank affiliated with Tel Aviv University and remains a reserve major general in the IDF.  He explains why he thinks the successful American military operation in Venezuela emboldened American leadership, causing arrogance as war plans were developed to overthrow the regime in Tehran.General Hayman responds to media reports that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu wanted to install former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as leader and breaks down where that plan went awry.He reflects on declining support for Israel within the U.S and the strategic challenge it presents to Israeli national security, conveying that supporting Israel is in America's self interest.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, The Tepper Foundation, Peter and Mary Kalikow, The Beth and Ravenel Curry Foundation, Pritzker Military Foundation, Cliff and Laurel Asness, The Margaret and Daniel Loeb Foundation, The Marc Haas Foundation, Katharine J.

Ghost opens episode 109 with the Iran peace deal moving toward signature: a draft plan is on the table, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are proposing a $300 billion investment fund for Iranian reconstruction, and Ghost walks through why this is the Venezuela model playing out in real time, not a Zionist puppet operation. Jim Rickards calls it a game of chicken and says the US blinks first. Ghost dismantles the Washington Examiner's "Abraham Architecture" op-ed as neocon regime change dressed up in platitudes, and reiterates Saudi Arabia's unbreakable red line on Palestine. Ben Gavir declares Israel will not allow any deal, while the US quietly prepares to pull all military aircraft from Ben Gurion within 72 hours of a signing. The episode then pivots to a bombshell: an Israeli state TV documentary exposes ritualistic child sexual abuse in the Gush Etzion West Bank settlement, with survivor testimony describing Knesset members as participants. Ghost connects it to the UN's blacklisting of Israel for prison sexual violence and an Israeli-born US attorney dropping gun charges against an Israeli national running an illegal biolab in Las Vegas. The episode closes with the DRC Ebola outbreak accelerating and Trump's Armenia rail deal revealing the emerging global trade corridor from Central Asia to North America.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 5-28-26.1890 VIKINGS(1) Anatol Lieven discusses Moscow's escalation and the future of Ukraine negotiations, noting that Russia has threatened targeted strikes on Ukrainian headquarters in Kyiv. High casualty rates and stalled front lines contribute to a mood of frustration in Moscow.(2) Anatol Lieven examines the struggle for UK Labour Party leadership, where Andy Burnham is the preferred candidate to replace Keir Starmer but must first win a by-election. The rising Reform Party poses a significant threat to established political figures.(3) Josh Rogin discusses the Trump-Xi summit, noting that the President's visit to Beijing featured major CEOs but yielded no new trade agreements. Both nations remain locked in a trade war with mismatched expectations regarding economic cooperation.(4) Josh Rogin examines upcoming Section 301 investigations that will address Chinese forced labor and dumping. Simultaneously, a critical shortage of magnets from China is impacting the production of U.S. defense technology and fighter jets.(5) Evan Ellis describes turmoil in Bolivia, where supporters of Evo Morales have blockaded La Paz, causing severe humanitarian shortages. These groups utilize military-style tactics to protect drug territories and pressure the government while Morales evades justice.(6) Evan Ellis examines electoral crossroads in Colombia and Peru, with Colombia facing a choice between leftist and pro-U.S. candidates in its upcoming election. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori leads a narrow race with implications for regional security and Chinese influence.(7) Evan Ellis discusses legacies and alliances in Brazil, Venezuela, and Cuba, where Flavio Bolsonaro seeks U.S. alignment in Brazil, while the U.S. conducts military exercises near Venezuela.

Critics argue the administration failed to anticipate the blockade or effectively address regional Iranian proxies.(12) Jeff McCausland discusses Russian casualties and NATO's growing nuclear anxiety, noting that Russia has reportedly suffered 500,000 deaths in Ukraine, creating severe manpower shortages. Consequently, European allies like France are considering moving nuclear assets eastward due to waning confidence in U.S. support.(13) Simon Constable and Jim McTague examine global commodities and the economic impact of war, noting that high energy prices, including $8 diesel in France, are straining consumer budgets. While some commodity prices are stabilizing, the ongoing conflict in Iran continues to drive global inflation.(14) Simon Constable and Jim McTague discuss the leadership vacuum in the United Kingdom as internal Labour Party disputes intensify. Some elites are calling for Tony Blair's return while the Reform Party gains traction among dissatisfied voters.(15) Douglas Messier and David Livingston discuss the Starship 12 mission, which achieved significant milestones despite booster failures. NASA has also awarded major contracts to Blue Origin for lunar rovers and a specialized base lander.(16) Douglas Messier and David Livingston examine NASA's phased plan to establish a permanently crewed moon base by 2032.

Trump is set to invade Cuba. The Israel-owned, Hegseth-run Pentagon has spent months staging everything for a raid or full takeover the second Trump gets the nod from his handlers. Same script as Venezuela: build the armada, PsyOp the Fox News boomers with “Manifest Destiny” garbage, send in DOJ goons to perp-walk the leader on camera, ship the resources straight to Israel. the so-called “miracle” GLP-1 shots that Big Pharma is shoving down your throat, is a nightmare. These drugs are turning people into walking skeletons—destroying muscle mass, wrecking your metabolism, causing stomach paralysis, thyroid tumors, suicidal thoughts, and a laundry list of side effects.

On May 20th, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed a federal indictment charging former Cuban head of state Raul Castro with the murder of American civilians. That same day, the USS Nimitz carrier strike group entered the Caribbean. We break down the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown, the GAESA military conglomerate controlling Cuba's economy, and what the Venezuela playbook tells us about where this is headed.

Part 1: Who Really Runs the World? Simon Dixon Exposes the Power Structures You're Not Meant to See Okay, buckle up—today's episode is not for the faint of heart. I sat down with Simon Dixon, legendary investor, Bitcoin OG, and ex-investment banker, and let's just say he's not here to sugarcoat anything about who actually controls our money, our governments, and, yes—our lives. If you've ever felt like the system is rigged, but couldn't put your finger on how, Simon paints the clearest, most disturbing picture of the power structures you never learned about in school. With every word, he pulls back the curtain on the “complexes”—military, financial, technological—that quietly shape global events. We go deep on how fiat currency is manufactured, why every government seems totally bought, and why your political choices may be more of an illusion than you've ever realized. (Seriously, if you care about understanding global power, wealth concentration, and what REALLY drives war and society, you need this episode.) SHOWNOTES [00:00] Simon Dixon's Introduction: From investment banker to Bitcoin investor—why he's the ultimate insider-outsider. [00:40] What is a “power structure”? Military, Financial, and Technological industrial complexes explained. [03:00] How profit and war are inextricably linked, and why companies truly “need” ongoing conflict. [04:17] Where does government fit? Why politicians are just actors and the real control lies elsewhere. [07:38] Understanding central banking: Why money is debt, and how the entire system is designed as a Ponzi scheme. [15:05] How the monetary system traps everyone with credit, debt, and obligations that literally cannot be repaid. [19:07] How politicians become useful to lobbyists, and how that advances careers (not people's interests) [27:00] How net worth and CEO “success” are always, always conditional on compliance with the financial industrial complex. [34:51] The origin story of Israel, the British Empire, military profit—and how war and resource acquisition drive everything. [41:49] Why new technologies are tested in war zones, and how surveillance, data, and state control evolve from there. [46:20] How the system manufactures “acceptable” narratives: manipulating humanitarian crises for profit and power. [52:39] Who owns what? How wealth gets concentrated and why 10% control 92% of the global stock market. [54:11] Israel's alignment with military industrial complex and why endless war is a business model. [57:07] Egypt's resistance, IMF debt, and the mechanics of ending empires. [01:02:13] Enter BlackRock: Mortgage-backed securities, global asset management, and controlling IF a company “lives or dies.” [01:07:22] How BlackRock's “Aladdin” leverages $25 trillion to scenario-plan global finance. [01:14:17] Iran, Venezuela, and engineered economic collapse—how currency warfare destabilizes nations for profit.

WSJ reporter Collin Eaton discusses the negotiations between Exxon and the Venezuelan government…and the company's dilemma.

Scott Bessent, Pete Hegseth, James Talarico, Mike Pence, and the Delaney Hall ICE protests headline today's A.M. Update. Trump's cabinet meeting covers Iran negotiations, Scott Bessent calling ongoing price increases transitory and projecting 4.3% GDP growth this quarter, Marco Rubio's update on the Venezuela three-step plan, and Pete Hegseth revealing that at Trump's personal directive the U.S. hunted and killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, ISIS's number two in Nigeria and the most active terrorist in the world, along with hundreds of other ISIS fighters who were slaughtering Nigerian Christians. James Talarico goes on CBS and calls his own "God is non-binary" comment cringy while still trying to defend it, and Aaron takes apart his attempted Pauline justification piece by piece. Federal agents deploy pepper spray and batons against anti-ICE protesters blockading the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, including a viral moment where the crowd cheers two brown-skinned men walking out before realizing they are ICE agents. Mike Pence crawls out of his spider hole to complain about mean politics, and Aaron reads John Adams calling Alexander Hamilton a bastard to make his point. Aaron closes with new research showing 75% of consumers including 79% of parents support adults-only dining options, set against the backdrop of the ongoing Christian slaughter in Nigeria, and a challenge to put it all in proper perspective.

US President Donald Trump is tightening the screws on Cuba, with an indictment against former Cuban President Raul Castro and military threats that echo Washington’s playbook in Venezuela. But after surviving decades of US pressure, Cuba is preparing. As blackouts spread and tensions rise, is this just political theater, or the beginning of a major confrontation?

SummaryClayton Cuteri joins Bruce Colero on the Be Great podcast for a wide-open, nearly two-hour conversation about the knowledge the elite have always guarded and why good people staying broke and powerless is no accident. It opens with how the Rothschilds quietly funded both sides of the Napoleonic Wars, walked away owning the bond market, and went on to shape the Federal Reserve and the IMF. From there, it moves into the two real levers of change on this planet: money and political power.The second half goes deep on the spiritual layer. The Bhagavad Gita and the divine versus demonic path. The Gospel of Thomas, found in 1945, is older than the Bible. How the text was changed over 1,600 years, and why Clayton believes a spiritual awakening is already underway. Clayton also shares his own arc from a software engineer, $10,000 in debt, to a millionaire in 22 months.Video of The PodcastWatch HereCampaign Websitehttps://writeincuteri.comClayton's NewsletterJoin HereClayton's BookPurchase HereClayton's Social Media LinkTree | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | FaceBook | RumbleTimecodes00:00 - Intro: How Rothschilds Funded Both Sides 01:15 - Defining Success and Your Why 05:09 - The Elites and Indigo Education 09:33 - Why Fear Comes From Not Knowing 16:49 - Knowledge Is Power: Money, Politics 22:17 - $10K Debt to Millionaire 33:58 - The Candle and the Blue Rug 42:10 - A Spiritual War, Not Political 01:05:02 - Books Are Speed Limit Signs01:22:34 - Who Really Wrote Your History01:36:20 - Is a Spiritual Awakening Coming?Intro/Outro Music Producer: Don Kin Instagram | Spotify Super grateful for this guy ^Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/traveling-to-consciousness-with-clayton-cuteri--6765271/support.Listen to the Podcast AD-FREE HERE for $4.95/monSign Up for my Newsletter HEREALL Indigo Education Podcasts HEREMy Book: The Secret Teachings of Jesus HEREOfficial Traveling to Consciousness Website HERE

Jeffrey Epstein's reach extended far beyond New York, Palm Beach, and the familiar circles of American finance and politics. Newly surfaced records show him probing for influence and opportunity across Latin America and the Caribbean, including Venezuela and Cuba, where he appeared to position himself as a connector for businessmen, political insiders, and power brokers operating in difficult, sensitive, or sanctions-adjacent environments. One major thread involves Epstein advising DP World's Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem after Hugo Chávez nationalized Venezuelan ports, with Epstein suggesting Cuba as a possible backchannel route into Caracas. Another involves Venezuelan businessman Francisco D'Agostino and discussions about potential oil opportunities connected to PDVSA and the Orinoco River oil fields. D'Agostino says the proposed Venezuela trip never happened and no deal came together, but the records still show Epstein attempting to place himself near the intersection of energy, politics, and elite access.The Cuba material follows the same pattern. Epstein traveled there in 2003 with Ghislaine Maxwell and former Colombian president Andrés Pastrana, and Maxwell later claimed they met Fidel Castro, though there is no clear evidence that Epstein conducted business or political negotiations with Castro. Years later, Epstein funded a Cuban state-backed neuroscience conference in Havana through his connection to researcher Gino Yu, fitting his larger pattern of using science, academia, and intellectual circles as a legitimacy machine. The larger takeaway is not that every one of Epstein's approaches produced a successful deal; many appear to have stalled or gone nowhere. The real significance is that a convicted sex offender with a history of elite protection was still moving through circles connected to foreign governments, oil wealth, port infrastructure, sanctioned economies, and high-level intermediaries, raising the same old question: who kept allowing this man access to rooms where he clearly did not belong?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How Epstein explored Venezuelan deals, funded Cuban research | Miami Herald

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Months after Operation Epic Fury, Iran's leadership is reportedly still operating from bunkers and secret hideouts, with regime paranoia and communication breakdowns now slowing negotiations with Washington. New reporting suggests Iran's supreme leader is relying on a secret courier network to communicate as fears of Israeli and American intelligence penetration continue gripping the regime.  British forces are reportedly preparing for a possible mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if a peace agreement with Iran moves forward. The operation could involve autonomous mine-hunting systems designed to clear one of the world's most strategically vital shipping lanes.  A devastating suicide bombing targeting a train carrying Pakistani security personnel and their families kills more than 30 people in Pakistan's volatile Balochistan province, marking another escalation in the region's growing separatist insurgency.  And in today's Back of the Brief—another sign of warming relations between Washington and Caracas as the head of U.S. Southern Command visits Venezuela while Marines conduct a dramatic embassy response drill in the capital.
