Raymond Ibrahim, an American author of Coptic Egyptian descent, runs a YouTube channel called, um, Raymond Ibrahim, and writes books exploring the conflict between Islam, Christianity, and the West.

He strongly rejects the idea that Islam is peaceful.

As I write, I’ve hosted nearly a thousand podcast episodes, and this is my first focused on Islam. I’m not sure why, but there you go.

Evert ‘Eddie’ Smallegange shared his riches-to-rags story, including his HIV-positive diagnosis and why he believes it's fear porn.

My conversation with Eddie is based on his book, Fast Women Slow Horses, which is a metaphor for the destructive allure of reckless pleasures and poor choices that lead to ruin. He openly shares how addiction shaped his life, the thrill and chaos of his choices, and the heavy price he paid, including time behind bars in multiple countries. For example, he was jailed for 10 months in Jersey for smuggling 1kg of cannabis resin (199 pellets, street value £20,000–£30,000) by swallowing them.

Obviously, Eddie also discussed the dark world of international drug trafficking and its risks, yet admitted it was worth it—a brutally honest confession I loved. 🤣

The chapter that interested me most was about his HIV-positive diagnosis and why he (rightly) calls it pharmaceutical nonsense.

There’s a strange hatred of all things China in the West—it’s time to debunk outdated myths and find out what's true.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve had several conversations about China, exploring why much of what we believe is either fabricated or completely false.

For example,

• Chinese people are oppressed
• China has a social credit score
• There is a genocide of Uyghurs
• The Chinese government harvests organs
• The Tiananmen Square massacre

All of the above narratives are bunk.

Lee Barrett is a British YouTuber who has lived in China for over a decade. He runs a really great YouTube channel where he posts videos about his daily life there.

He chatted with me about censorship, oppression, food, culture, and why many Westerners hate China without ever visiting.

It’s not a utopia, but nor is it some totalitarian hellhole.

Oh, by the way, he didn’t use a VPN or anything to dodge the Great Firewall of China. He just recorded with me like any other guest. 😎

Elena Freeland argues that powerful elites manipulate our environment to create a subservient, transhumanist society.

Until recently, nobody I know believed geoengineering is real.

Well, it is.

It’s even acknowledged by the UN and its climate change arm, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).

Elana is an Americn writer, teacher, and lecturer who researches controversial topics like geoengineering, electromagnetic weapons, and mind control technologies (like MK-Ultra).

The most powerful people in the world come from a few bloodlines you've likely never heard of.

Frances Leader runs a Substack called Uncensored and is one of the most knowledgeable individuals I’ve come across, as far as the subject of Black Nobility is concerned. In short, the Black Nobility is a cabal of ruthless, power-hungry aristocrats who have spent centuries manipulating European (and international) politics and finance to further their own interests.

Norman Finkelstein is a Jewish American political scientist known for his outspoken views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and especially Israel's military actions in Gaza.

In the early 2000s, he published The Holocaust Industry which led to him being banned from entering Israel for a decade. (The Israeli government, of course, denies that it's because of his book.)

His central argument is that the memory of the Holocaust has been exploited for political and financial gain, such as justifying Israeli policies in Palestinian territories and extracting compensation from European countries. The Holocaust industry has also weaponised language and laws, such as labelling legitimate criticism of Israel or Jews as 'antisemitism' and, worse, criminalising such criticism.

A Black South African music executive is being investigated by the Human Rights Commission for claiming that Whites are inferior.

Nhlamulo ‘Nota’ Baloyi is a South African hip hop exec who says wild things on a podcast called The Hustler’s Corner.

I invited him onto my podcast because of his claim that Whites are inferior to Blacks, which has upset many and landed him before the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) for Hate Speech.

To be clear, I don’t think expressing an opinion should be penalised by the state. After all, how is saying that Whites are inferior to Blacks a violation of anybody’s human rights? 😂

I mean, it’s a stupid comment anyway. He made a bunch of stupid comments, actually..

In the spirit of giving him a chance, I asked Nota to share his views, but I will repeat that I’m disappointed with his inconsistency. What he said on my podcast is different to what he has said on other podcasts.

I disagree with much of what he said, but we only had an hour, he had a lousy internet connection, and I didn’t want to stop and start every few minutes over every disagreeable point.

🤔 Why did China crack the whip on population growth? Was it because of a hatred of the family? Or was there a political agenda?

China’s one-child policy is not entirely a myth, but it’s not entirely what we’ve been told, either.

It’s a lot more nuanced.

More grey, and less black and white.

Basically, yes, there was a one-child policy, but, no, it wasn’t because the Chinese government hated its people and wanted to kill babies and control the population growth.

The more accurate story is that Western interests, like Henry Kissinger, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Club of Rome, invaded China with Malthusian ideology and threw all sorts of threats at the Chinese government if it didn’t slow down its population growth.

Why?

Well, because the US government saw that the Chinese economy was beginning to blossom and, with a massive population, feared it would become the world’s most powerful country within a few decades.

In other words, back in the ’70s, China’s economy was fragile and beholden to Western economies like America, and couldn’t afford trade and other economic restrictions.

You probably haven’t heard of Operation Gladio, and that’s by design because, well, it’s covert. Not just a covert operation, but one of the largest ever.

Possibly even the largest.

Basically, the CIA was so desperate to stop communism spreading that it teamed up with everyone from ‘right-wing’terrorists to the Vatican to the Italian Mafia.

Paul Williams has written a bunch of fascinating books, one of them being Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia.
