Toyota Hilux trucks - why are they popular online and in war zones?

In April of 2024, a group of aid workers were killed by Israeli Defense Forces while bringing food to Central Gaza. The IDF had alleged that its military analysts had identified a gunman on top of one of the trucks carrying supplies, suggesting it was a military vehicle, not an aid vehicle. In the online debate following the event, a familiar trope popped up: arguing over whether one of the aid trucks a Toyota Hilux. The reason? In military conflict around the globe, the Hilux is a familiar character. Whether you're a U.S. designated terrorist group, a "freedom fighter," or someone else involved in direct armed conflict, you probably know about the Hilux. Endless Thread wanted to know why, and how, this happened. So we took a journey beyond America's commercial pickup truck identity to understand why beyond our borders, the Hilux is the truck of choice.

Shawn Ryan Show Key Takeaways  Advice for Young Innovators: Work on the things that you are genuinely interested in and do not rely on other people to tell you what you should be working on The term “conspiracy theorist” was invented by the CIA and used to discredit anyone who questioned the original results of the JFK assassination investigation “It's pretty extraordinary that “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracy theorists” are themselves literally born of a government conspiracy.” – Palmer “I'm a big pronatalist. I definitely believe that you need to have kids. If you don't have 2.1 kids minimum, then you're a traitor to the nation and our ideals because you're basically outsourcing responsibility for the continued existence of our nation to other people – which seems like a super-elitist attitude.” – Palmer Luckey, father Preparing for a Chinese invasion of TaiwanIn simulated war games, in a hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan, the United States runs outs of missiles in less than eight daysChina has 350x the ship-building capacity of the United States (!)Taiwan is not the end state for China: The Chinese believe that the Philippines, Korea, and most of Japan belong to them; this won't stop with Taiwan“Trump understand that if we don't manufacture in America, we're just everyone else's b*tch.” – Palmer “Trump instinctively understands this in a way that the globalist elites do not. They thought outsourcing everything was great. They're against tariffs – why would you produce in a less efficient economy when you can manufacture wherever it's cheapest according to global market dynamics? The problem is, they forgot that once you stop making things and your companies no longer produce anything, you lose all leverage – you've handed it away to everyone else.” – Palmer Luckey How to take advantage of Xi's mistake:The US should make the Big Tech companies so integrated with national security that they cannot change their minds about supporting our interests in the future Bring back Defector Visas: Offer special visas to high-value defectors from adversarial nations (like China or Russia), particularly scientists, engineers, or officials, to weaken rival governments while boosting U.S. innovation and security“My belief is that the United States should stop being the world police. We need to stop sending our people all over the world to fight everyone's wars for them, and we need to become the world's gun store. We need to just sell them the guns that they need to defend themselves and we need to make sure that we actually keep those shelves stocked.” – Palmer LuckeyRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgPalmer Luckey is an entrepreneur and innovator best known for founding Oculus VR and Anduril Industries.

Shawn Ryan Show Key Takeaways  Advice for Young Innovators: Work on the things that you are genuinely interested in and do not rely on other people to tell you what you should be working on The term “conspiracy theorist” was invented by the CIA and used to discredit anyone who questioned the original results of the JFK assassination investigation “It's pretty extraordinary that “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracy theorists” are themselves literally born of a government conspiracy.” – Palmer “I'm a big pronatalist. I definitely believe that you need to have kids. If you don't have 2.1 kids minimum, then you're a traitor to the nation and our ideals because you're basically outsourcing responsibility for the continued existence of our nation to other people – which seems like a super-elitist attitude.” – Palmer Luckey, father Preparing for a Chinese invasion of TaiwanIn simulated war games, in a hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan, the United States runs outs of missiles in less than eight daysChina has 350x the ship-building capacity of the United States (!)Taiwan is not the end state for China: The Chinese believe that the Philippines, Korea, and most of Japan belong to them; this won't stop with Taiwan“Trump understand that if we don't manufacture in America, we're just everyone else's b*tch.” – Palmer “Trump instinctively understands this in a way that the globalist elites do not. They thought outsourcing everything was great. They're against tariffs – why would you produce in a less efficient economy when you can manufacture wherever it's cheapest according to global market dynamics? The problem is, they forgot that once you stop making things and your companies no longer produce anything, you lose all leverage – you've handed it away to everyone else.” – Palmer Luckey How to take advantage of Xi's mistake:The US should make the Big Tech companies so integrated with national security that they cannot change their minds about supporting our interests in the future Bring back Defector Visas: Offer special visas to high-value defectors from adversarial nations (like China or Russia), particularly scientists, engineers, or officials, to weaken rival governments while boosting U.S. innovation and security“My belief is that the United States should stop being the world police. We need to stop sending our people all over the world to fight everyone's wars for them, and we need to become the world's gun store. We need to just sell them the guns that they need to defend themselves and we need to make sure that we actually keep those shelves stocked.” – Palmer LuckeyRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgPalmer Luckey is an entrepreneur and innovator best known for founding Oculus VR and Anduril Industries.

Episode #528: Siavash Fashi-From Iranian War Zones to Changing Lives in the US Through Fitness

HALO Talks

Today's episode will be a movie one day! Siavash Fashi's extraordinary story of resilience, ambition, and success is truly remarkable. His journey from the war-torn streets of Iran to the vibrant fitness community of Culver City is incredible. He went from being a young lifter inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger to a determined refugee navigating the turbulent streets of England and eventually the challenging landscapes of America.  Fashi's passion for fitness and bodybuilding started as a teenager. At around 18, he often visited a wrestling gym and lifted weights with whatever resources he could find. (Bodybuilding was illegal in Iran back in his days!) Despite the challenges of lacking proper nutritional knowledge and language barriers, he remained all in. He trained his entire body daily, driven by inspiration from fitness images and the scant, often incorrect information he could access. With grit and unwavering determination, Siavash founded Six Pack Gym, a thriving hub in Culver City, CA where he's not only built a successful business but also transformed countless lives. He opens up about the trials and triumphs that shaped him, the pivotal moments that defined his career, and how he turned his dreams into reality. On turning pain into progress Siavesh opines, "Those painful moments? They all become your assets. My book is all about the the bad stuff that I went through. All this . . .the knowledge that I'm sharing with a lot of people is from those bad times. Just hang in there, push through, and the thing is with your business, during the bad times, you grow along with it." Key themes discussed Escaped Iran, worked in a pizza shop, and eventually a gym. Mistaken for militant, held in prison, granted asylum eventually. Passion for training sparked surprising success. His grandfather's war stories inspired resilience and determination. Survived on Balance Bars during financial hardship. Streamlined running small gyms, low barrier, community-focused. Painful experiences become valuable growth assets. A few key takeaways:  1. Inspiring Journey of Resilience: Siavash's journey from war-torn Iran to becoming a successful gym owner in the states is a testament to his resilience. Despite facing extreme hardships, including fleeing his home country, dealing with a cancer diagnosis, and multiple instances of homelessness, he never gave up on his dream of being a bodybuilder and helping others achieve their fitness goals. 2. Impact of Adversity on Growth: Fashi emphasizes that the painful and challenging times he went through became his greatest assets in life and business. His experiences taught him perseverance, and those difficult moments provided him with valuable lessons that he now shares with his clients. 3. Building a Community-Centric Business: Siavash's approach to building and running Six Pack Gym focuses on creating a close-knit community. Despite starting with minimal equipment, his dedication to providing personalized and effective training led to substantial growth. He also values the relationships and support he received from his clients, highlighting the importance of community. 4. Innovative Approach to Fitness Training: Due to limited resources initially, Fashi developed a unique 30-minute workout system that effectively taxed the muscles within a short period. This not only helped in client retention but also became a distinctive feature of his gym, catering to busy professionals who need efficient workouts. 5: Vision for Empowering Aspiring Gym Owners: Fashi's vision includes helping others start their own small gyms with minimal investment. He has created courses and certification programs aimed at teaching aspiring gym owners how to successfully model what he has done. His goal is to empower individuals to build local gyms that can have a significant impact on their communities.

Headlines: Australia in spat with China over racism and climate change, BRICS leaders call for ceasefire, Revelations about Rudd and Gillard deal in new political memoir, and what are the top Halloween costumes for 2024 according to Google? Deep Dive: Israel claims the number of people killed in Gaza – the steadily rising and horrific number we hear on the news just about every day – is inflated. Others say true number of people killed is far more than what's being reported. On this episode of the Briefing, Bension Siebert speaks with Professor Michael Spagat, chair of Every Casualty Counts, who explains how deaths in Gaza and other active warzones are verified. He makes a passionate case for acknowledging the individual humanity of everyone who dies in war, rather than thinking of them as a number on a page.  Follow The Briefing:TikTok: @listnrnewsroomInstagram: @listnrnewsroom @thebriefingpodcastYouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroomFacebook: @LiSTNR NewsroomSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Navy SEAL to Humanitarian: Ephraim Mattos on Courage, Sacrifice, and Saving Lives in War Zones. In this powerful episode, Marcus and Melanie meet with Ephraim Mattos, a former US Navy SEAL and founder of Stronghold Rescue & Relief. After leaving the SEAL teams in 2017 at the age of 24, Ephraim made a bold decision: instead of returning home, he volunteered on the front lines of the war against ISIS in Mosul, Iraq. His experiences there would change him forever. Ephraim shares harrowing details from his time with the Free Burma Rangers, a humanitarian group that provides aid to civilians in war zones. He recounts the unimaginable horrors he witnessed, from civilians fleeing the brutality of ISIS to the daring rescue missions he and his team conducted under constant enemy fire. One of these missions, during which Ephraim was shot while rescuing a young Iraqi girl, exemplifies the courage and sacrifice required to save lives in the most dangerous places on Earth. We dive deep into Ephraim's personal journey, chronicled in his book City of Death: Humanitarian Warriors in the Battle of Mosul, coauthored with American Sniper writer Scott McEwen. The conversation explores what it's like to face death on a daily basis and how Ephraim and his fellow volunteers embodied the credo: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." In this episode, Ephraim reflects on the emotional and physical scars of war, his recovery from his gunshot wound, and his unwavering commitment to helping those in need, even in the most perilous conditions. His stories of bravery, resilience, and humanity will leave you speechless. In This Episode You Will Hear: • Probably the biggest thing I learned in training that applies to everyday life is when things go really, really bad, one of the best ways of dealing with it, and actually pushing through is to laugh at it. (1:29) • I had my finger on the trigger. I had pressure on the trigger, just waiting for them to come out so I could get a body shot, and 2 heads pop out. It turns out it's two little girls. One was maybe ten; the other may five or six. They were weeping, crying, and they were running straight at me. And they were both wearing backpacks just like the backpacks that are just like the backpacks we just blew up an hour earlier. And they're running straight at me. (25:22) • I was in a firefight in Iraq, technically before my last day in the Navy. (29:19) • [The Iraqi army] They weren't super organized , or marksmanship, but as far as their courage and willingness to go toe to toe with ISIS, and I watched multiple time – an Iraqi tank would drive up, get blown up by an ISIS car bomb. And they would keep going. (31:25) • We assist every way we can, and we build relationships, by showing them we care, we're here to help, we're not crazy, we're not her to get in a gunfight. We just want to help you. (33:43) • We provide frontline mentorship for active security threats. If a tribe is facing genocide, we'll advise them on how to best use the resources they already have. (34:09) • There's a certain level of evil that people just don't see or understand. They don't understand a military unit would go into a village and just slaughter everybody. (36:06) • For people who actually care, what do you do? How do you help? (42:48) • If you care about what's going on in these conflicts, find multiple organizations that you like and give a little bit so several of them. You can make an impact, without having to take all the risk. (43:50) • 99.9 percent of our job is logistics, medical care, training medical care, suffering in the jungle. Yes, you're armed, but you're not there to get your rocks off. (48:11) • We bring in primarily guys with medic training. We don't bring in full-fledged doctors because the kind of stuff we're dealing with is emergency care – people stepping on land mines or getting shot. (50:38) • A couple of American missionaries were killed in Haiti. Stuff like that happens all the time. Nobody hears about it. It gets instantly buried under celebrity gossip and such.

Conflict and suffering can bring out the worst in people, but it can also bring out the best. This is one of the lessons New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has learned from decades of reporting on the ground in war zones and amidst humanitarian nightmares. Somehow, despite witnessing atrocities like the Tiananmen Square protests, genocide in Darfur and war in Iraq, Kristof still believes in humanity and holds onto optimism about the future. In his latest book, a memoir called “Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life,” he explains how he's been able to persist. Podcast and TV host Kelly Corrigan interviews Kristof at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival about his road from a small rural town in Oregon to a decades-long career at the Times. This conversation was held on June 29.*Please note that this conversation references substance abuse, sexual abuse, and suicide. aspenideas.org

There was the high-profile legal battle with former president Donald Trump after Andrés pulled out of his planned restaurant in the Trump International Hotel, and more recently World Central Kitchen has come under criticism for what some workers say are dangerous practices.
