In the interview, she slams US foreign policy as having nothing to do with respect for life and discusses the Ukraine proxy war and continued US support for Zelensky, the US-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, the increasing censorship against alternative news sources such as Redacted as corporate media seeks a total monopoly on narratives, crumbling infrastructure in the US, and much more.

As Friedrich Nietzsche remarked more than a century ago, everything is learned in comparison. With the prospect of a full-scale war between Israel and Iran, the humanitarian disaster in Gaza suddenly seems like a crisis of a second or even a third order. Is the possibility of an international war in the Middle East likely to deflect from the mass suffering in Gaza, and could that be a deliberate strategy to redirect the global spotlight? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Ofer Cassif, Member of the Knesset for Hadash-Ta’al. Медиа: | ↑ |
Disease struck the American chestnut population in the early 20th century and now the once famed tree is all but extinct in North America. But scientists say they have come up with a plan to revive the chestnut tree through genetic engineering. To some that might sound like a great idea. But is it? It’s never been done before. And we have literally no idea what it will do to other trees as its pollen is spread by the winds, bees, and other insects. On this episode of the Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou asks Anne Petermann, the executive director of the Global Justice Ecology Project... Are we saving the chestnut? Or are we dooming other species?

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to award-winning foreign correspondent and author of ‘Soldiers Don’t Go Mad’, Charles Glass. He discusses his new book focusing on the soldier-poets of World War One, such as Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, who recounted the horror and trauma of war through poetry. He also explores whether World War 3 has begun, as the Gaza genocide and Ukraine proxy war wage on, the New York Times’ restrictions on reporting on Palestine and their ‘abysmal’ reporting on Gaza, the widespread support for a Palestinian state in the US which is ignored by Congress and the political establishment, why Julian Assange is being persecuted by the USA and UK, and why he is the ‘bravest man he has ever met’, his visit to Belmarsh Prison and the state of Julian Assange’s health, his campaign to jointly sue former CIA director Mike Pompeo for bugging his mobile phones when he visited Julian Assange, the failure of Israeli propaganda as their rhetoric contradicts the reality on the ground in Gaza, the perilous future for the Middle East with the Gaza genocide still raging and Iran-Israel tensions at an all-time high, President Joe Biden’s hypocrisy on Tehran responding to Israel’s bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, and much more.

The Clintons have been accused of many things, but going quietly into the night is not one of them. Bill Clinton is still very much involved behind the scenes in the political world, attending high-priced fundraisers for President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign and having private conversations with the Pope. After tuning out from the world for a year, Hillary Clinton has now reemerged ready to comment on just about everything. On this episode of 360 View, Scottie Nell Hughes and a panel of experts (Andrew Langer, radio and podcast host, director of the Center for Regulatory Freedom at the CPAC Foundation; John Jackson, former chairman, Dekalb Democratic Party) discuss how the Clintons are still screwing the world.

Space has always captured humanity’s imagination, but only the chosen few are able to head beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. It takes years of preparation to finally take on the final frontier. Every cosmonaut’s path starts in Zvyozdniy Gorodok or Star city, not far from Moscow. Learning to operate a spacecraft, breathing under g-forces, moving in zero gravity, working in outer space and even coping with long-term isolation – all this is taught in Zvyozdniy with the help of flying labs, centrifuges, hydrolabs and a lot more. Space training pushes the limits of human abilities to the very edge. So, who are the superheroes of our time? Join Inland Visions to meet past and future cosmonauts and get to know a little more about one of the most important jobs in the world. Медиа: | ↑ |
The balance of power in the Middle East is in a state of flux.

On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez takes a look at Western media’s insane obsession with drug busts in Russia when they involve an American culprit. Recently another American was busted in Russia for marijuana possession, in a case reminiscent of Brittney Griner. It quickly became fodder for the US mainstream media and ran on almost all of the major new channels. But, as Rick points out, there are tens of if not hundreds more drug busts in the United States as the American government continues its failed war on drugs.

Rick sits down with and discusses all of this and more with KJ Noh, writer, journalist, and Asia-Pacific expert. Медиа: | ↑ |
WikiLeaks cofounder Julian Assange has been held in London’s notorious maximum-security Belmarsh Prison for almost five years. Before that, he was in self-imposed exile in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. A few years ago, the CIA made plans to kill or kidnap Assange in broad daylight in the streets of London, if the US government’s request to extradite him turned out to be unsuccessful. But that request is pending and is likely to go forward in the near future. The big question then is whether the US Justice Department will offer Assange a deal he can live with or whether he will be forced to go on trial for his life. On this episode of The Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou speaks with journalist and Consortium News editor Joe Lauria and activist and radio host Randy Credico about what the future might hold for Julian Assange.

NBC has hired and fired former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. ‘Meet the Press’ host Chuck Todd had a meltdown on air, saying NBC owes an apology for hiring McDaniel, questioning her credibility.

Boeing has been in the news a lot lately, and none of it has been good. We’re not talking just about one of the company’s 737-Max jets crashing and killing everybody on board – there are other issues. In one case, part of the fuselage broke off a plane in mid-flight, creating a gaping hole in the side that nearly sucked out a 17-year-old passenger. In another case, a tire fell off a Boeing plane during take-off, destroying a car in the airport parking lot. In yet another, an external panel fell off mid-flight and nobody even noticed it until the plane landed.

On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez breaks down recent language concerning the term genocide in the context of the Israel-Gaza conflict. Recently, Joe Rogan on his podcast referred to the conflict as a genocide of the Palestinians. This came in the wake of Candace Owens being fired from the Daily Wire for what looks to be her position that Israel was not as innocent in the conflict as many Zionists claim. And now Israel has called a UN official an “anti-Semite” for an investigation into the conflict which found Israel potentially culpable for war crimes and genocide. Rick then talks about recent incidents where FBI agents have appeared on doorsteps, investigating their anti-Israel/pro-Gaza social media posts.

New York City is implementing curfews at migrant shelters due to the rise in crime. Shootings in Times Square, purses being stolen by moped gangs, and smash-and-grab theft rings are now becoming all too common in sanctuary cities across the United States.

The cost to repair the bridge is unknown, but could be in the hundreds of millions, and most experts agree that it could take many years to finally be up and operational again. This as US infrastructure continues to fall apart and degrade. It seems the government has no money to spend on critical infrastructure, but plenty to dish out to ‘allies’ like Ukraine and Israel. Meanwhile, a major scandal is developing involving an alleged sex trafficking ring and hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Many analysts are now suggesting Combs was running some kind of honey-pot ring in the hip-hop world akin to what Jeffrey Epstein was doing. For more on all of this, Rick is joined by radio hosts Steve Gill and Misty Winston. Медиа: | ↑ |

Assange has been held for years in a UK prison after a long-term stay at the Ecuadoran Embassy in London.

Since its establishment in 1993, the European Union has grown to encompass several dozen members. However, not every state has an easy route to accession, as evidenced by the experiences of countries like Türkiye and Georgia. Amid the ongoing conflict between Kiev and Moscow, certain EU nations are now vocally advocating Ukrainian membership, despite Brussels historically requiring that candidates meet rigorous guidelines in terms of fiscal responsibility, governance and human rights. MO’s Manila Chan interviews former Swiss MP and author Guy Mettan to explore the rationale behind the sudden push for Ukrainian EU membership and the potential consequences of such a decision.

From cancel culture to the cancelling of culture, the Western boycott on all things Russian has led to a paralysis of artistic exchange, further amplifying the schism created by diplomatic animosity and economic sanctions.

To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Yury Bashmet, a Russian conductor and world-renowned violist. Медиа: | ↑ |

On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez asks why Julian Assange is STILL being persecuted for revealing US war crimes in Iraq. We take a look at the now infamous video of an American attack helicopter gunning down civilians and reporters in Iraq during the US occupation. Is Julian Assange going to suffer until the end of his days in prison for revealing war crimes like these, or will he take the chance and make a deal with the US authorities?

Rick sits down with Professor and Commentator Dan Kovalik and Radio Host Misty Winston to discuss all of this. Медиа: | ↑ |

President Vladimir Putin won the Russian presidential election this past weekend with a whopping 87% of the vote. However, the Western media has been quick to declare the election pointless in what they call a “dictatorial regime.” Interestingly, the same media doesn’t refer to the United States as a dictatorship where the two candidates have been all but pre-ordained. Nor do they refer to other world leaders as dictators, for example El-Sisi of Egypt, who won an election in 2014 with 97% of the vote and with whom six EU leaders met this past weekend to sign a deal on the economy and refugees. Meanwhile, the case for espionage in the United States on TikTok is shrinking and Niger’s leaders are calling for the removal of any US military presence in the country. Catch all of this on Direct Impact with guests Steve Gill, radio host and commentator, and veteran war correspondent Elijah Magnier. Медиа: | ↑ |

President Joe Biden is looking to fuel his reelection bid with an endorsement from one of the nation’s biggest stars — Taylor Swift. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is trying to tell his donors he is more popular than the international pop star and that his base is larger and more loyal than the Swifties. Trump enjoys a base of supporters who have proven immovable, but Swift’s fans have also become known for their die-hard commitment to her. One Instagram post from the singer about National Voter Registration Day caused a 1,226% jump in traffic to the website she linked to, Vote.org. The nonpartisan nonprofit recorded more than 35,000 registrations, a 23% jump from the mid-term election year of 2022. On this episode of 360 View, Scottie Nell Hughes and her firey panel of experts (Desi K. Robinson - Health Professor, Doula - Media Analyst; Lionel – Attorney and Media Analyst; Bryson Gray - Rapper) discuss how pop culture has become engrained within politics and how this could bode for those convicted on January 6th.

Not so long ago, mixing culture or sports with politics was considered bad taste, but nowadays one may get into trouble for failing to do that.
