Our News Extra episodes are usually for members only, but we’ve made this one public due to the critical nature of the discussion.

Mike, Patrick and Mark discus how Christian Zionism — a powerful yet often underreported ideology in the U.S. — is being exploited to rally support for escalating conflicts in the Middle East, including a potential U.S.-led air campaign against Iran.

The conversation reveals how political and financial elites manipulate religious narratives to justify wars, widen wealth gaps and destabilise global economies — all while gaslighting the public with deceptive rhetoric.

This isn’t just about distant conflicts. It’s about the lies and economic devastation that affect us all.

Please share this episode widely and join the conversation.
