Courage comes in unique and sometimes unexpected ways. Today we have the pleasure of meeting a remarkable young woman who went as a single woman unaccompanied, unguided, unsponsored by any sort of group as a tourist to Afghanistan. It took her 6 years to save up enough money for that trip, and while there, she decided to not just view the country as a tourist destination, but to help in ways that most people would shy away from. 

Our guest Melissa Toomim is a counterterrorism specialist in the propaganda narratives of extremist movements, and a candidate to represent California’s 32nd Congressional District. 

Melissa spoke about her work providing humanitarian relief and evacuating dozens of our Afghan allies from Taliban controlled Afghanistan, and aiding in the evacuation of vulnerable Ukrainians. 

She also talked about investigating the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamophobia propaganda campaign, as well as manipulations by real estate predators determined to steal the West Los Angeles Soldiers’ Home from our veterans. These same predators are exploiting their government ties to simultaneously commit municide against the some of the most desirable business districts in Los Angeles County. Of great importance is how Melissa eloquently explains the Pakistan narrative about the Taliban!
