You can listen to me read this essay here:Why isn’t anyone talking about the husband of ‘Screaming Mary’ and the father of soon-to-deported Eissa Hashemi?Masoumeh Ebtekar, known as “Screaming Mary” is in the news as her son, Eissa Hashemi has been arrested and faces deportation from the United States. That makes for great news headlines. But I’m far more interested in her husband, Seyyed Mohammad Hashemi. One has to search hard to find information about him. I did that search and I will tell you who he is, but first, a little reminder about “Screaming Mary” and some questions about her son. In the video above (if you can stand her jarring ‘screaming’ voice), Masoumeh Ebtekar, defends the irony of her son studying in American when she was the Iran ‘79 hostage-taker spokeswoman ready “to shoot American hostages in the head.” Critics yell: “You climbed the Embassy wall but sent your kid to the US.”(Ebtekar scoffs) “My son went there to study just like you. What am I supposed to do?”What, indeed? He only followed in the footsteps of his mother and his grandfather, who both benefited from a top-notch American education before returning to Iran to become involved in Khomeini’s revolution, as Ebtekar did. Her hatred of the country which so generously helped her mirrors that of current dissidents like Mahmoud Khalil, who will now, at last, be deported. As Secretary Marco Rubio explained:"Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country. America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families — and under the Trump Administration, it never will."Hashemi and his wife were professors at The Chicago School in Los Angeles. I can find no instance where Eissa Hashemi or his wife said or did anything to indicate they are enemies of the United States. Yet, how can we be sure they are not currently involved in subterfuge or will be in the future. As I wrote about extensively in The Islamic States of America, jihadist sleeping cells exist in the United States just waiting to be awakened. Is it better to be safe than sorry and expel family members of jihadists or is this an injustice. I’m interested to know your thoughts by the end of this essay. Returning to the life of Ebtekar, she was rewarded for her loyalty to Ayatollah Khomeini and rose through the ranks of the regime, serving as a vice president as recently as 2017-2021. You can find out more about her past in an interesting 1981 New York Times article that asks the question: WONDER WHAT’LL BECOME OF ‘MARY’ IN TEHERANOf far more interest to me was one line that I read in an obscure article, stating that Ebtekar married one of her fellow hostage-takers. Really? Who was it? I searched and could find nothing about him until I came upon the article below. Ebtekar might have been out there screaming in the media, but her future husband, Seyyed Mohammad Hashemi, was behind the scenes and a far more dangerous person. While she takes the headlines currently, he remains obscure to this day, and one must wonder why. Keep in mind as you read this article that forty-seven years ago, students like Ebtekar’s husband used their enrollment in prestigious universities as a front for their revolutionary goals. This pattern remains unchanged to this day among members of Islamic radical groups. They are ideological operatives far more than they are traditional undergraduates. Again, we see the similarity between Ebtekar’s husband all those years ago and current dissidents like Mahmoud Khalil. We must ask the question, why did it take us so long to figure this out? And still, millions of Americans protest against it, to the extent of even electing a Twelver Islamic devotee like Zohran Mamdani to become mayor of New York City. Incredible. Here is the one place where I found Seyyed Mohammad Hashemi’s bio, in Grokipedia: Seyyed Mohammad Hashemi is an Iranian former intelligence official and revolutionary activist recognized as one of the core leaders of the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line, the group responsible for the November 4, 1979, takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, which initiated the 444-day Iran hostage crisis.[1][2] As a key participant in the operation, Hashemi helped coordinate the storming of the compound, capturing 52 American diplomats and staff, an event that escalated tensions between Iran and the United States and contributed to the collapse of the Algiers Accords.[3] The seizure of the U.S. Embassy … was planned by a small core group of radical Islamists … with Mohammad Hashemi among the key ringleaders coordinating the operation…. Hashemi, who had not attended university classes for over a year and thus was not an active student, focused on logistical preparations and recruitment, including enlisting Masoumeh Ebtekar for her English proficiency to interrogate captives and handle communications.[9][10][11]Execution commenced shortly after dawn, as Hashemi ritually washed and pra

You can listen to me read this here:I’ve been off of Substack for the past week, spending time with my children and grandchildren. But today, I wanted to share these thoughts. This is so beautiful. Despite persecution, Christians across the East celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. Their voices cannot be silenced. The bells continue to ring.On Palm Sunday in Nigeria, at least twelve people were killed by Muslim fighters in this mostly Christian city. There are numerous examples of the targeted attacks on Christians in Nigeria, yet the New York Times claims the genocide of Christians in Nigeria is false. By 2023, 50,000 Christians had been killed in Nigeria since 2009, but of course, we must believe the New York Times. This is the battle of words that we wage. Despite intensifying persecution of Jews, not only in the East but across the West, my Jewish friends continue to celebrate. In Israel, this has meant celebrating Passover in a parking garage turned into a bomb shelter. In Europe, Jews must pass walls that say:Yet, we are supposed to close our hearts and minds to this horrific reality and look the other way. WE WILL NOT. For the past year, I have been rereading J. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings epic saga. There are many parallels to what we face today. “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”Each of us must make a choice every day of what we will do with our limited time and how we will fight this battle. Jews and Christians must stand together as one, even as outside forces do everything they can to tear us apart. Some of us are warriors on the battlefield. I think of the two US pilots who were rescued deep inside Iran. One was rescued immediately. We could not have rescued the other without the help of our greatest ally, Israel, which provided intelligence to help locate him. Then there were the Iranians who blocked the road leading to the area where the airman hid. We all have a part to play. Most of us are not taking up a sword to fight. But we can fight with our words. The Bible says:“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12Now, more than any time in history, that battle of words is sweeping across the world, hatred magnified a billion times by algorithms, replacing truth with lies. The most important battle in history had nothing to do with armies. It was a spiritual battle between spiritual forces beyond anything we can comprehend. Jesus did not enter Jerusalem on a fighting steed, with an army. He entered on a donkey, humble, willingly going to his death, knowing that his resurrection was the only way to save humanity. As C. S. Lewis said in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, “There is a deeper magic.”The White Witch didn’t know or had forgotten that deeper magic. She thought by killing Aslan she would be victorious. But all she did was ignite the deeper magic, the magic of ultimate love and self-sacrifice and thus the salvation of Narnia and her own downfall. We don’t know the whole story because we are in the middle of it. We must trust God’s wisdom. As Bilbo Baggins advises:“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” We don’t know what awaits us, but we must go out anyway because as Galadriel says:“Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.” I am a small person, but that doesn’t stop me from doing all I can to change the course of the future. To whomever that sounds silly or pretentious, I can only say again, we all make our choices of what we will do with our time. The world is dark, indeed, and it will grow darker. I pray along with my Jewish friends that we stand firm, knowing that true victory is not of the world. If you have not yet subscribed to BREAK FREE MEDIA, please do!

You can listen to my short commentary here:'I know how Ayaan Hirsi Ali feels. She is tired. I am tired. We are all tired. But we are undefeated. We will never be defeated because we speak the truth. We are not afraid to say it, even as the Western world becomes more hostile towards us. It is no longer the far-left and the far-right that are against us. Mainstream Republicans and Democrats, and across Europe, Canada, Australia and the UK, would rather support tyrannical Islamic regimes than the democratic state of Israel. Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), like TPUSA, just exposed how popular vilification of Jews has become.Jack Posobiec, a conservative commentator and online influencer, said age 45 is a dividing line, with the younger cohort more likely to question the party's steadfast support of Israel. Youth on both sides of the aisle are hearing the same lies about Jews and Israel. These opportunists are counting on the next president—whether Republican or Democrat—turning not only on Israel, but on Jews in the United States and anyone who stands with them. Notice that powerful figures like Tucker Carlson et al are positioning themselves against traditional Republicans so they can go either way when the time comes—claiming allegiance to either party of a new one. Imagine for one moment, as a Christian or a Jew, if Israel no longer existed. It is obvious what will happen! The first chance Muslims got, they built Al-Aqsa Mosque on top of the Jews most sacred site, King Solomon’s Temple. In Istanbul, they have turn Hagia Sofia into a mosque. Across the west they are buying up churches and attacking synagogues. Jerusalem is and has always been the ultimate battle ground, where spiritual forces are gathering.How long would it be before the Christian Holy sites in Jerusalem and across Israel would be desecrated? The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Garden of Gethsemane. There would be no more pretending in places like Bethlehem and Nazareth. The fire of hatred burning across the Middle East would spread throughout the Western world. Indeed, it already has. Billions of people, many of whom call themselves Christians, are so eager to see the downfall of Israel that they are welcoming their own destruction with open arms. I discovered Ali’s book, Infidel, on one of my trips back home from Egypt. Her story was riveting. I understood it so well. Her spiritual journey to become a Christian was instrumental in my conviction to reaffirm my faith. At that time, when I was in Egypt, it was impossible to even suggest “infidel” was the word Mohammed used to describe unbelievers in the Qur’an; or that Muslims were commanded to kill all infidels; or that this was central to Islam and taught by imams in mosques around the world. This truth had been hidden from people in the West. They received a watered-down version of Islam, easy to do since very few Westerners speak Arabic. As a writer, if I had dared to say we are just infidels to them, I would have been pilloried and called an “Islamophobe.” But I saw the truth, I experienced it for myself while living in Luxor. I am grateful to courageous former Muslims like Ali who must have 24/7 protection because they are now “apostates” with fatwas taken out against them. Whoever kills Ali will go straight to paradise. Reading about Ali let me know I was not alone. It let me know I was not wrong. From the moment I realized the truth of Islam and got out of Egypt, I resolved to speak out, no matter the cost. I do not write or speak because of sensationalized videos I saw on social media, like so many “influencers” who claim to be experts when they have never even been to these countries, let alone lived there. Or, like Carlson, they are flattered and treated like royalty in Qatar, a country of 300,000 Muslims citizens served by 2 million kafala slaves. I am one of the few Westerners who experienced Islam in the Middle East by living there and is talking about it. Not as a privileged foreign influencer or businessman, but as the locals live, married to a local Muslim man in a village on the west bank of the Nile, in Luxor. And yet, somehow, I am the one who doesn’t know what I’m talking about. My voice is purposely suppressed. It is people like Tommy Robinson and Ayaan Hirsi Ali who are now being called extremists. Oh, the irony. We are all being silenced online, in ways that are not as obvious as being sent to a gulag. But don’t worry, the gulag will come. As one example of this war of words, when I searched online “al-Aqsa mosque built on top of Solomon’s Temple”, this is the first answer I got (followed by many similar ones):The Al-Aqsa Mosque is indeed built on the Temple Mount, which is where the Hall of Solomon, part of the Jewish Temple, once stood. This mosque is one of the oldest and most significant in the world, with its construction predating Jewish claims about Solomon's Temple. Islamic sources affirm that the mosque was originally built as a house of wors

“What we’ve experienced the last two years, we can’t fathom it because we’re in it. But we’ve experienced the greatest miracles that we’ve seen in centuries.” ~ Rabbi Uri PilichowskiFrie sent this to me on X. This is one of the reasons why I find X invaluable for research, because I find gems like this video. I also connect with wonderful people like Frie who are fighting the same battle of words. Rabbi Pilichowski gives a jaw-dropping account of the miracles that Israel has experienced over the past two years. * To the exploding pagers, described by an intelligence officer as beyond the imagination that anyone would put that into play. 3,000 Hezbollah fighters taken out of action. Zero Israeli soldiers killed. * To the precise attack of taking out twenty commanders in one building because they decided to meet in person rather than use technology; in Syria 350 planes go off on 350 missions, bombing every single Syrian air force jet, every single navy boat, eliminated every single general, nuclear scientist, chemical scientist and took southern Syria as a buffer zone. Zero Israeli soldiers killed. * To the attacks on Iran and this is so fascinating, with little-known information about the fighter jets. Best case scenario with an operation like this would be 60 dead pilots. Israel suffered no losses. An unexplainable miracle. * This is truly incredible. He talks about the miracle of how many of the missiles from Iran hit and hit hard and yet, for example, one hit a building where US military personal stayed. Half the building was destroyed, yet not one US military person even went to the hospital. Engineers looked at the building and couldn’t explain it. He goes on to talk of other even more incredible miracles. * The attacks from Iran should have resulted in 80 to 100,000 Israelis dead. Israel lost less than 40 people. * February 20, 2025, he recalls the 5 buses that were inexplicably set to blow up at the wrong time, in the night when they were parked and no one was in them. 1 mistake is understandable, but 5 mistakes. If they had blown up when they were supposed to blow up, it would have been worse casualties than Oct 7th.* To the miracle of Oct 7th because yes, it should have been much worse. Yahyah Sinwar inexplicably sent the jihadists in too soon. This is really something to hear. What Rabbi Pilichowski says is so important to remember: Because we are in the middle of these events, we don’t see them as clearly as we would if we were looking back at them from the future. This is why we must tell the stories and spread the news as far and wide as we can. Relaying these stories is more important than in the past, because we fight against a new enemy, AI algorithms that seek to silence the voices of truth. If we do not spread the word, how will future generations know about these miracles that can inspire them to fight further. They will have been buried beneath piles of nonsensical “information.”My father, Dave Hunt, set this example for me, telling our family during evening devotions, as well as from the podium, in churches, at universities and around the world, stories of the miracles of Israel’s wars, from 1948 to 1967 to 1973. The miracles of this war in Gaza, as you will see from this video, are even more incredible. The entire world is coming against Israel and God is protecting his people. So, please listen to this short, inspiring video, like it, and pass it on. You can find Rabbi Uri Pilichowski’s website at HERE and on X at HEREYou can find Frie on X HERE This is a public episode.

You can listen to me read this commentary here:I just realized it’s St. Patrick’s Day! How could I miss it when Maggot Mamdani’s speech was all about how “Palestinians are left to weep alone.”Wait, what? Congratulations, moronic mayor! You managed to turn even a day for the Irish into a tirade about Palestinians oppressed by the “genocidal apartheid state of Israel.” I can hardly wait for the 4th of July!I bet he’ll give a rousing speech about how the proletariat rose up against the Czars; the Palestinians are rising against Israel and workers in the US need to do the same.Then, we have Ireland’s forever depressed-looking socialist president Catherine Connolly, dropping “saint,” and calling him “Patrick.” Yes, that’s right. Far be it from her to miss the chance to politicize anything. “Patrick’s life serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage of migrants” she said and then went on to praise rabid Jew hater, former president of Ireland, Mary Robinson:Here is Elisha Wiesel, son of Elie Wiesel’s, blistering response to Mamdani, who also referenced Mary Robinson, so you all know how offensive this is:Today, Mayor Mamdani celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by spreading the vicious blood libel against the Jews, claiming that we had perpetrated a genocide in Gaza. He platformed and praised Mary Robinson, the previous President of Ireland, whose leadership of UNHCR was forever marked by the stain of the antisemitic Durban conference, from which the American delegation resigned in protest.Read here what my father wrote in September 2001, days before 9/11, expressing his profound disappointment in Mary Robinson and the hatred against Jews she had allowed to foment at Durban through the United Nations. Elisha Wiesel - March 17th, 2026FROM ELIE WIESEL’S PRIVATE ARCHIVES:The Durban Conference will go down in History as an enterprise of shame. Instead of being an important international gathering of goodwill, it became a circus of slander. Conceived as a world gathering against hatred, it turned into a mean spirited meeting of hatred.I was supposed to be there. Both Kofi Annan and Mary Robinson tried their best to persuade me, especially since I was a member of the small “Committee of Eminent Persons”, created by the UN High Commissioner, to help with the proceedings. But when I read the working documents I resigned. Antisemitism, which is the oldest group prejudice in History, didn’t even figure in the program. What did figure was something about “holocausts such as the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by the Israelis”.Mrs Robinson called me several times. I had lunch with the UN Secretary General, whom I had known for years. I explained to both why I simply cannot be part of an event that is so outrageously anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish. They claimed that the language would be changed. But the trouble was the content. I warned the UN Secretary General that the Conference, the way it was being prepared, will remain a moral disaster in the annals of social and political conduct among nations.For the content was sheer vicious hatred whose reverberations must revolt all decent and civilized people. Secretary Powell and his colleagues were outraged. Their courageous stand deserves support and praise.The American and Israeli delegations left; others did not. I wish European and South-American delegations had followed their example. Their explanation is that they will work from the inside to work out another draft resolution. It’s too late. The damage was done.Hatred is like cancer. It goes from cell to cell, from limb to limb, from person to person, from group to group. We have seen it at work in Durban. Even respected personalities such as Kofi Annan somehow lost his way and said things that are unworthy of him.With the Durban scandal in the background, how can the world expect Israel to trust the United Nations? And how can good people, idealistic people have faith in its mission to bring nations together in an atmosphere of dignity?The Durban conference will be remembered as a forum dominated not by anti-Israelis but by antisemites. That militant Palestinians hate Jews that is known. It is enough to hear the various Islamic leaders harangues and read schoolbooks printed by the Palestinian Authority: they preach hatred and violence not against Zionists but against Jews. Their slogan, naked and brutal, which is everywhere the same, has been felt and heard in Durban too: “Kill the Jews!”What hurts is not that Palestinians and Arabs voiced their hatred but that so few delegates had the courage to dissociate themselves from them. It is as if in a weird and frightening moment of collective catharsis, they all dropped their masks and showed their true faces.Through the infamous Durban conference, History is giving us Jews a signal. And we had better learn to decode it. Elie Wiesel - September 4th, 2001I just left New York City a few days ago, although I will still be going back often. Today in New York, they celebrate the Irish

I am traveling quite a bit right now, many responsibilities. I managed to get laryngitis so I cannot record anything. This coming week, I will just concentrate on my book, which is truly almost finished and will be traveling more, resting my voice, so send a little prayer for my recovery as I am not able to rest very much!Break Free Media is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.I absolutely love this young man, Shabbos Kestenbaum. I hope Dennis Prager passes his cloak on to him when the time comes. I hope you enjoy what he had to say about Ruth and Naomi. I always loved the story of Ruth and Naomi. I heard it often as a child in Sunday School. In this excerpt from Kestenbaum’s speech, at the first Judeo Christian Zionist Congress (JCZC) last November, he touches on the story as an illustration of the love and devotion Christian Zionists, and in particular Evangelical Christians, have for Jews. “When American students at Harvard University and Columbia and Penn and Yale and UCLA took down their mezuzahs out of fear of religious discrimination, you put yours up. You told American students on college campuses that your fight is our fight, that your struggle is our struggle, your pursuit of justice and peace, that’s our pursuit as well.”This alliance between Christians and Jews is in danger of being torn apart. Why? Because as long as that powerful alliance holds, the destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews will never be achieved. It might surprise people to know that the vast majority of Zionists around the world aren’t Jewish. Most of them are Christians and amongst those Christians, most of them are Evangelicals. Calev Myers, a dual U.S.-Israeli national, conducted a poll and found that, “The vast majority of Israelis have no idea who an evangelical Christian is, or that they even exist, or that they could be beneficial for the State of Israel.”Polling suggests that evangelicals are among the demographic groups in the United States that remain most strongly supportive of Israel. In the United States, the propaganda war has recently focused on demonizing Christian Zionists, with a special focus on Evangelicals. Theology that most people never heard of is suddenly being thrown about in sensationalized sound bites, everything from the Rapture (bad) to Dispensationalism (really bad), to Replacement Theology (really, really good). I will spare you the details of what it all means—and that’s the point. It’s too complicated and too boring for people with 5-second attention spans to understand, so it’s conveniently reduced to 20-second sound bites that people take as gospel truth because it’s told to them by their favorite influencer. The louder Christian Zionists/Evangelical Christians raise their voices in support of Israel and the Jewish People; the louder will be the voices of those who hate Israel and the Jewish People as they try to discredit them. In fact, it’s Evangelicals who really hate Jews and want to see two-thirds of them dead, didn’t you know that? In February, the Judeo-Christian Zionist Congress held its first conference, declaring that they were fighting back against this war of words. The JCZC wants the world to know that true Christians will never abandon Jews or their homeland, Israel. As Ruth says: “Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, will I die; and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me, and more also if I ought but death part thee and me.” (Ruth 1:16-17 KJV)I never imagined growing up in the Plymouth Brethren church that what I learned on Sunday mornings about dispensationalism would be attacked as heresy on the world stage, as part of a battle against Jews and Israel. Over the past three years, prominent so-called Christians such as Tucker Carlson, Darryl Cooper, Pastor Joel Webbon, and the man leading the Christian Nationalist movement, Pastor Dough Wilson, whose congregant is Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, have all attacked Christian Zionists/Evangelicals as heretics and dispensationalism as heresy. All of the above-mentioned people are aligned with JD Vance and all of them want to see a merger of church and state. They defend that merger as biblical, but it is the antithesis of Jesus’s teachings. But the ultimate reason behind the hatred of both ultra conservative Christian Nationalists and ultra-liberal Christians against Evangelicals is because Evangelicals believe in the literal meaning of Scriptures. Quoting from Dispensationalism by Jean Gibson:This means its plain, normal sense, including figures of speech. It does not deny the facts stated; nor, is it a “woodened literalism” or “letterism”. It is objective, consistent and unifying for the totality of Scriptures. It did not “spiritualize” or allegorize” the

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” I Timothy 6:12Every so often, I like to share a little bit of what I do when I’m not writing. It helps to understand why I’m so hard-hitting with my words. Not only that, I hope it inspires others to get up and move. I know what I do is extreme, it can be anything. I’m happy to say that at almost a year after my hip replacement surgery, I’m back to training pretty intensely, hitting the bag and even jogging. No kicking, not sure if I will ever do that again. But there is never an excuse for not being the best that you can be with what God has given you. I escaped an abusive marriage by starting to run in Kensington Gardens. Every day, I ran a little bit further. It got me out of my head. It stopped me from wallowing in self-pity. Every day, no matter how many excuses I could give myself, I made the choice to put on my old running shoes and walk out that door. Once I got out of the marriage, I started training in martial arts and progressed to full contact fighting. Along with my faith in Jesus, the importance of which I could never over-emphasize, this physical (and mental) training became a lifelong DISCIPLINE. The word discipline is very important. It is not about feelings; it is about commitment. Making that commitment, no matter how you feel, is how you overcome. It is how you get stronger. In the video below, it’s all about footwork. Boxing is more complex than it looks. If your feet aren’t right, nothing else is right. It’s like your mind and your spirit, you have to be standing on a firm foundation that you reenforce daily, or when the first attacks start coming, you will fall. Here is one of my classes. I don’t teach anymore although sometimes I still teach one-off special classes. As I do with my writing, I love nothing more than giving of my knowledge to others, hopefully inspiring them to overcome discouragement and uplift their spirits. My classes, like my writing, are not for the faint of heart. Another class. When you know you give your best, no matter what that is, because everyone is NOT the same, you get stronger. That’s how it works. At the end of class, you can go home satisfied that out of all the choices you could have made that day—like sitting in front of a screen, doom scrolling—you made the best choice. And that’s it! Now I’m going to a little cafe to write and then I’m going for a hike! God bless you all this week! This is a public episode.

I am traveling today and will be doing quite a bit of traveling over the next couple of weeks. But I wanted to get this out immediately. You can listen to me read this analysis here:“To the Iranian people. Your hour of freedom is at hand. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny.” ~President TrumpOne-time or recurring donations can be made at Ko-FiToday, as the might of America’s military gathered in protection around Israel, Israeli forces launched attacks on Iran. What Israel did to Tehran this morning: Precision strikes on the IRGC Intelligence Directorate. Explosions near the Supreme Leader’s office. Three detonations in central Tehran confirmed by Iranian state media itself.We are hearing that Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, Head of the Judiciary in Iran was eliminated. He gave the death sentence to thousands of protesters.Below you can hear joyous laughter as it appears Khamenei's home compound has been hit. I pray the tears of joy do not turn to tears of sorrow. What has Iran done so far in response? It has not attacked Israel. It launched strikes on US military bases in 6 Arab Gulf States. Bahrain. Confirmed hit on the US Navy Fifth Fleet headquarters. Bahrain’s own state news agency reported the strike. No casualty figures released yet. This is the command center for every American naval operation in the Persian Gulf. It was struck.UAE. Multiple missiles intercepted by Emirati air defenses. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from falling debris. The UAE defense ministry confirmed the intercepts. The Emirates just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory from a country it shares a maritime border with.Qatar. Missile intercepted. Zero damage. The Qatari Interior Ministry confirmed. The same country Iran just attacked is the country that hosted Al Udeid for twenty years as a gesture of regional balance. That balance ended this morning.Kuwait. KUNA state news agency confirmed missiles were “dealt with” in Kuwaiti airspace. No reported damage. Kuwait, which stayed neutral through every Gulf crisis since 1991, just had Iranian ballistic missiles flying over its cities.Jordan. Two Iranian ballistic missiles shot down by Jordanian military. Confirmed by the Jordanian armed forces directly. Jordan intercepted Iranian missiles in June 2025 as well. That was in defense of Israel. This time Iran targeted Jordan itself.Saudi Arabia. Fars News claims strikes. No confirmation from any Saudi source. No Tier 1 or Tier 2 verification. Either it did not happen or Riyadh is not yet ready to say it did. Both possibilities carry enormous implications.Understand what this means. In retaliating against Israel and America, the IRGC fired missiles at six sovereign MUSLIM ARAB nations in a single morning. Not one of those nations attacked Iran. Bahrain did not bomb Tehran. The UAE did not launch strikes on Isfahan. Qatar hosted diplomatic back channels. Kuwait maintained neutrality for three decades. Jordan was mediating.Granted, the IRGC attacked US military bases, but these are bases in neighboring countries. Presumably, Iran hopes to create a wedge between the United States and these nations. On the other hand, Iran could be pushing these nations into a closer alliance with the US. Every nation whose airspace was violated, whose civilians were killed, whose sovereignty was breached now has legal and political justification to join whatever coalition forms next.It remains to be seen what those coalitions will be. What did Iran achieve from all its belligerent threats of destroying America and Israel?One civilian dead from debris. Intercepts across four countries. No confirmed destruction of any US military asset. No reported American casualties among 40,000 troops in theater. Iran fired at the entire Gulf and the Gulf caught almost everything.In contrast, Isreal’s precision strikes hit all of its targets. This is the asymmetry that will define the next 72 hours. Iran demonstrated intent to strike everywhere and capability to hit almost nothing. The Gulf states demonstrated they can defend themselves. And now those states must decide whether the country that just fired ballistic missiles across their borders gets to do it again. (from Shanaka Anslem Perera)The escalation marks a significant widening of the conflict, with the potential for counterattacks from multiple fronts.The question remains how Gulf States respond if their own people are killed. How about Turkey? There are a significant number of Turks working in these countries. How will Turkey respond to casualties? I have been following with great interest what Mosab Hassan Yousef has to say about all of this. (expressing anger at his comments against evangelical Christians) Here is what he said today:Toppling the regime in Tehran without a day-after plan, no exit strategy, no replacement? It’s proof of how reckless the leaders calling the shots are when millions of lives hang in the

JD Vance just told the Washington Post that he views Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mike Huckabee as: “a really good conversation that’s going to be necessary for the right, not just for the next couple years but for long into the future.”Just exactly what will that “conversation” develop into if JD Vance becomes president?Worldwide DNA testing of Jews? Because at this point, why after testing the DNA of every Jew in Israel why stop there? Who is supposed to do this testing on Jews? Would a coalition be formed of Jew-hating scientists, like the coalition of Jew-hating nations that will now send troops to Israel’s borders to breath down its neck? Will the “conversation in the future” turn into the next president determining that Jews in Israel have no right to the land based on the results of tests, fulfilling Hitler’s dream of the Final Solution? If Jews don’t have a right to live on this tiny piece of land, they will be exterminated by the military of hostile Muslim nations who will conveniently be positioned right on Israel’s border, having said very clearly since Israel’s inception that they intend to wipe Jews off the face of the earth and control all of Israel. As if Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis weren’t enough, now it will be all nations. And then what? Once the Jews of Israel are dealt with should it be decreed that all Jews worldwide be tested and identified, thanks to science, as Tucker Carlson so horrifically says? During Covid, they did massive worldwide testing—with a lot of mistakes. Why not apply the same strategy to determining who is and isn’t a Jew, because they have a “burning passion” to “figure out who these people are?” This is not a debate. This is not asking questions. This is Nazi rhetoric that should have been condemned unequivocally by the president and vice president. Instead, it is being normalized. Some are comparing Tucker Carlson to Hitler, and indeed, Hitler would love all of this. But I would rather compare Carlson to Joseph Goebbels. He has the ear of the potential next president of the United States, while the current president remains silent. There is no more middle ground, only far-left and far-right, and they are both just as bad. Goebbels said:“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”Over and over again, Tucker Carlson repeats his lies, and they are believed by a growing mob. Many people shrug it off. Oh, it’s just an online phenomenon, it isn’t real, it isn’t to be taken seriously. They didn’t take Hitler and his band of psychos seriously at first, either.

There is something seriously disturbing about Tucker Carlson. He is creepy. He is deranged. He is scary. And it’s getting worse every day. But what is really disturbing, creepy, deranged and scary is that millions of people listen to him. And what’s even worse is that they don’t care that he’s lying because he says what they want to hear—a relentless barrage of hatred towards Israel and Jews. As I watched this interaction, I was struck by the contrast between the clear-headed, factual communication of Mike Huckabee and the slimy, slithery doublespeak of Tucker Carlson. Huckabee talks specifically about Carlson platforming Anthony Aguilar who lied about watching a small boy get gunned down in Gaza.After lying for months, the boy was found alive, unharmed, and living his family.

You can listen to me read this essay here:A bishop’s testimony from Idlib, Syria, talking about the Pact of Umar. Listen to how Br. Hanna Jallouf must negotiate what the church pays to be protected by ISIS and then by Jabhat al-Nusra and now by the new terrorist president, al-Jolani. He describes how he was kidnapped by al-Nusra. The Sheikh put a gun to his head and threatened to kill him. He was told, “If I don’t kill you today, I will kill you tomorrow, in front of everyone in the town square.”It’s similar to the Mafia/street gangs requiring stores/restaurants/people in certain neighborhoods to pay for protection. Except, it’s worse, because what the Mafia/street gangs do is illegal and if convicted, the people doing it go to prison. In contrast, the dhimmi system is legal under Islamic law. At any time, protection can be lifted and dhimmi can be attacked and it will be legal, without any consequences for the attackers. In case anyone wants to mention that al-Jolani (Al-Shara) made peace with Jallouf—as if that proves everything is okay now—it proves the opposite. Making peace means al-Jolani telling the bishop how much the church must pay jizyah, the tax on dhimmi for protection against attacks, persecution and murder. Naturally, the bishop will only say nice things about Jolani if he wants safety for himself and his congregation. Hundreds of Minorities, including Christians have been killed in Syria since Jolani came to power. The Pact of Umar contains a list of rights and restrictions on dhimmis (Christians and Jews). By abiding by them, non-Muslims are granted the security of their persons, their families, and their possessions.Keep in mind that Syria was once a majority Christian area. In the past 15 years alone, the Christian community has declined from 10% to less than 2%. Jews inhabited this area since biblical times. During the Roman period, the Syrian Jewish community was the largest outside of Israel. However, they were so severely persecuted by Muslims that today there are no more than perhaps a dozen Jews left in Syria.History of the Umar Pact:Muhammad traveled to Medina in 622 A.D. to attract followers to his new faith. When the Jews of Medina refused to convert and rejected Muhammad, two of the major Jewish tribes were expelled; in 627, Muhammad's followers killed between 600 and 900 of the men and divided the surviving Jewish women and children amongst themselves.Here is what the Quran and Hadiths say about Jews (also applies to Christians): * They [the Children of Israel] were consigned to humiliation and wretchedness. They brought the wrath of God upon themselves, and this because they used to deny God’s signs and kill His Prophets unjustly and because they disobeyed and were transgressors. (Sura 2:61). * According to the Koran, the Jews try to introduce corruption (5:64),* have always been disobedient (5:78), * and are enemies of Allah, the Prophet and the angels (2:97­98).After the rapid expansion of the Muslim dominion in the 7th century, Muslim leaders worked out a way of dealing with non-Muslims, who remained in the majority in many areas for centuries. The solution was to treat them as “dhimmi,” or “protected persons” which applied to the “People of the Book” – Christians and Jews. The dhimmi were, in the best of times, second-class citizens and, at certain times and places severely persecuted and murdered.THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN EVERY SINGLE NATION WHERE MUSLIMS GAIN CONTROL. Christians and Jews become dhimmi. It is happening in New York City—a perfect example of the relentless expansion of Islam with the election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor, while the majority of people don’t seem to care. It is INSANE that the United States would ever elect a Muslim to a position of power. And yet it is happening all over the country. As I have said before, a vampire can only come into your home if you invite him. But vampires are seductive creatures and they have gained entrance to our home. Now that Mamdani is mayor, gone is the charismatic smile he wore while campaigning. Gone are the big promises of everything for free. Now he threatens dhimmi New Yorkers, as if it will be their fault if his policies aren’t carried out, announcing he will raise taxes on all New Yorkers:Because nobody is doing what he says, he will be “forced” to increase property taxes, he will “raid” the city’s savings accounts and the retirement fund of the elderly.As one furious landlord put it:“When property taxes go up, rents go up.” That’s how it works. She said her own tax bill went up a few hundred dollars and it already messes with her mortgage.But who does Mamdani really care about? Not dhimmi New Yorkers. He cares about his terrorist Islamic buddies. One of his favorites is Mahmoud Khalil, who came from Syria to cause trouble in the United States. Khalil is set to be deported, and rightly so. Mamdani insists that he must remain in New York City. Why? Because, as Mamdani says (a perfect example of Taqiyya, lying thr

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the voice we need. In his powerful speech at the Munich Security Conference, Rubio talks about the triumph of two world wars and how the United States and Europe fought together. Yes, he dares to tell us we should be proud of how courageously we fought. We should be proud of our Western civilization. He then talks about how we went astray:The euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion. That we had entered “the end of history.” That every nation would now be a liberal democracy. That the ties formed by commerce and trade alone would now replace nationhood. That the rules-based “global order,” an overused term, would now replace the national interest and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world. This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nation and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history and it has cost us dearly. He goes on to talk about how we outsourced critical control of supply chains to both adversaries and rivals while creating massive welfare states.He reminds us all that we part of one civilization: Western Civilization. “Forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, language, ancestry and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir.”He dares to talk about the foolishness of mass migration. “Mass migration is not, was not, isn’t some fringe concern of little consequence. It was and continues to be a CRISIS that is transforming and destabilizing societies across the West”“In a pursuit of a world without borders, we opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture and the future of our people”Where Trump is divisive, Rubio is embracing. But perhaps Trump needed to be that way to shake things up. Rubio can then come in and smooth things over. The fact Marco Rubio received a standing ovation by the European leaders after seeing their defiance against the Trump administration lately shows how he can bring the West together once again. There is no hint of fascism, of the far right “Christian Nationalism” ideology that we find in JD Vance and his sidekick Tucker Carlson. Marco Rubio is a firm supporter of Israel and the Jewish people. Whereas NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani was sworn in on an Ottoman era Qur’an, the empire that invaded Europe and sought to force Islam upon it with the sword, Marco Rubio had this to say after being sworn in as Secretary of State:“I want to end by thanking Almighty God and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is truly the singular purpose of our lives. It’s the most important priority. It’s the only thing that will matter when we take our last breath on this Earth. But this is an extraordinary opportunity that would not have been possible without God’s blessings.”Marco Rubio for President in 2028.Break Free Media is a reader-supported publication.

“I was ready to kill my captors—then, I sang to them.” - Omer Shem TovI feel such a responsibility to keep telling these stories. It’s the reason why I’m taking so long to finish my own story, The Seduction of Islam. The book is written, but I’m going through it carefully to be sure I said what I needed to say, in the right way. Nothing is more important to me right now. You can listen to me read my reflections here:Everyone who has children or grandchildren, or perhaps you lead a children’s class at your church or synagogue, or you are a schoolteacher or wherever it might be that you have the opportunity, please share Omer Shem Tov’s testimony with youth. These are the stories our children need to hear. These are the heroes they need to look up to as examples of courage and faith. When you listen to Omer speak, you know it is the truth, you know it is authentic, because he lived it. His voice silences dissenters. No one can dispute his testimony. He also reminds us of Charlie Kirk’s true legacy, not the one both the left and the right try to twist Charlie into for their own political ambitions. As I wrote about in “I went ‘undercover’ at Whole Foods, and this is what I discovered,” I met Charlie, not on a stage, but as an ordinary young man who regularly came through my line when I worked at Whole Foods in Scottsdale. Just as I went to Luxor and lived there for three years to find out the truth of Islam, I worked at Whole Foods for six months to find out what it was like working for a company taken over by Amazon—and then, I wrote about it. Unexpectedly, I loved working there. I loved the people I worked with and enjoyed finding out about the different everyone who came through my line. The experience restored my faith in salt-of-the-earth Americans. I’ve told this story before, but it bears repeating. Charlie would come in on Sundays and buy tons of baby food. I doubt many people recognized him, but I did because of my research and writing. The first time he came through my line, I told him I knew who he was, but I would just call him the “baby food guy.” He laughed and his whole face lit up. From then on, he always came through my line, and we would talk about ordinary stuff, like how tired babies make a parent feel. When you see someone face to face, in the real world, you see them as an ordinary human being, just like you are, not some caricature to be turned into a devil or a saint. The internet has made us lose that connection to reality, to realizing we are all flesh and blood and capable of the worst mistakes and the best achievements. It’s disturbing how people will spew the most horrific filth online about someone they never knew, whose challenges they have never faced, without a second thought. The Bible says that what we choose to put inside of us is what will eventually come out. If we put filth into our spirits that is what we will become and that is what we will put back out into the world. If we fill ourselves with good, with light, with love, that is what we will become and that is what we will put back out into the world. It’s very simple. But people have forgotten this basic truth. It’s why every other word so many say—and our children say without a second thought—is F-you. How did that happen, how did it become normalized? Omer Shem Tov made a choice in those tunnels to be the best human being he possibly could, even while surrounded by the worst human beings. He did not sink to their level. He rose above it. Our youth need to know that the more they make the right choice, the more difficult life could become, not easier. They could even be hated for it. We don’t live in a movie. There is no app that can gloss over the reality of our situation. We live in a world where fame, fortune and “likes” mean more than courage and truth and we need to refuse that trap. 505 days in captivity, in tunnels so dark at one point, Omer thought he had gone blind. He was alone, he did not see another hostage, no kindness, no caring human touch did he feel. Alone in that darkness, Omer began to pray. Every day he spoke to God:“I whispered, ‘God, how are you? How was your day? Are you okay?’ And in that darkness, I felt his presence. I thanked him for everything, for the food, even though there was almost none. For the water, even when it was salty. For my life, even though it was in danger every single day.”He didn’t rant at God. I’ve heard this often from those who survive captivity. They choose to thank God, not curse him. He tells how one day, the IDF was fighting above the tunnel, and they left behind books. In one of the books, was a piece of paper with Psalm 120 on it. In the longer video, that I have linked below, he says that his mother was reciting the same prayer at the same time. This is the power of prayer: In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, th

This is a short follow-up to my last piece:Who Will Succeed Donald Trump? In the midst of vicious infighting that threatens to topple TPUSA, Erika Kirk endorses JD Vance for President.I was so glad to hear Ben Shapiro say what needed to be said. Please listen to his speech to loud cheers from the audience. I hope you will listen to his speech; it isn’t very long. Most importantly, he talks about the serious danger the conservative movement finds itself in, not just from the left, that “uses every means all too frequently up to and including murder.”He says that “The conservative movement is also in danger from charlatans who claim to speak in the name of principal but actually traffic in conspiracy and dishonesty.” He then goes on to speak about the duties people with a microphone have to those in the audience, the first duty being to truth. I was glad that he blasted Megyn Kelly for her “cowardice” for refusing to stand up for the truth. I thought of putting a link to her absurd attempt to boost her likes as she claimed she was “working behind the scenes to reconcile Candace and Erika.” Don’t waste your time. Instead, I’m putting this hilarious impersonation from Ami Kozak because we all need a laugh right now:Specifically, he talked about Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. Here is what he had to say about Candace:“So, if Candace Owens decides to spend every day since the murder of Charlie Kirk casting aspersions at TPUSA and the people who work here, who worked with Charlie every single day, his best friends, (he names many of them), and to imply or outright claim complicity in a cover-up over Charlie’s murder, to spew absolutely baseless trash, implicating everyone from French intelligence to Mossad to members of TPUSA in Charlie’s murder or a cover-up in that murder, then we, as people with a microphone, have a moral obligation to call them out by name.So, when Candace Owens says, “I don’t know-know, but I know,” that is retarded and we are all more retarded for having heard it.” To which she predictably replied: “Every time Ben speaks I feel more certain Israel was involved in 9/10. He’s just way too invested in Charlie’s murder. He never liked Charlie and he’s now suddenly pretending he had a duty to defend his legacy. Ben only cares about Israel’s interests. So Israel is involved.”I kid you not. That’s how her “deductive reasoning” works. Totally. Unhinged. Here’s Ami Kozak, impersonating Candace and her stream of consciousness blather. He’s worth following. She isn’t. Tucker Carlson blathered on about Charlie’s mission—that everyone has the right to free speech—which Ben Shapiro wants to deny him. No. Everyone has the right to speak, but we have the right not to listen. We also have the right to say exactly what we think about their idiocy. Here’s a short excerpt from Tucker’s speech about free speech. You can listen to the entire speech with the usual condemnation of Israel, HERE (if you really want to subject yourself to that).This is much more fun. Here’s Ami Kozak again impersonating Tucker “we are all humans, we aren’t animals!” PERIOD!In the clip below, Tucker defends his antisemitism and says how disgusting it is that millions of Muslims are being attacked. Yes, seriously.Where does his concern over Muslims come from, when just a few days ago 15 Jews were massacred on Bondi Beach by Muslims? He talks about how sick and tired people are of the hate and race wars. As if he isn’t the one spreading it. FYI, what’s wrong with Maryland—that’s where he says the small percentage of people who don’t want free speech should all end up. Would that be all the Jews and anyone who supports them? Maybe in concentration camps? It’s offensive how suddenly Tucker Carlson says he’s a Christian. He is not a follower of Jesus. In Tucker’s speech he criticized Ben Shapiro for aggressively shutting down a question about the USS Liberty. Here’s how brilliantly Ben does NOT shut this young man down but schools him in logic and truth:Below is Charlie Kirk, doing the same thing as Ben Shapiro, educating this young man who has been similarly indoctrinated against Israel. Ben does not say, “Don’t let me stop you from practicing your right for free speech., carry on saying stupid things.”No, he says:“Do not peddle conspiracy theories at our event. That is not acceptable. Do not say that.”This is what we need right now. We need people like Ben Shapiro to stand up fearlessly and cut through the confusion and the meaningless noise of these lying, grasping, power-hungry, attention-seeking grifters.

“The Muslim Brotherhood is a global movement based on the same religious worldview - the spread of Islam, until it rules the world.” ~ Mohammed Mafti AkifBreak Free Media is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.One-time or recurring donations can also be made at Ko-FiYou can listen to me read this introduction here:I encourage everyone to watch this short film by Ami Horowitz. I wish high school students were required to watch it, but of course, that would be insensitive. Sadly, if our children had been taught the truth all these years, we would be in a very different situation today.Our present times and world events remind me of the words of Vladimir Lenin:“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.” So, he wrote when the old tsarist order was overthrown seemingly overnight. What happened? Another dictatorship rose up. Was it better or worse? Good or evil can happen suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere. We are fortunate to have experienced some of the good events but now, our children are being told that good is actually evil and evil is actually good. And for just saying that, there are many who will stop reading right there. They cannot accept such absolutes. Over a hundred years after the fall of the tzars and the rise of communism, Salman Rushdie wrote these words:“I’m not a prophet, but I always thought it was natural for dictatorships to fall. I remember in 1989, two months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, had you said it was going to happen no one would have believed you. The system seemed powerful and unbreakable. Suddenly overnight it blew away like dust.”Something better did come that day. In 1966, my family crossed from West Berlin to East Berlin, a terrifying experience for me at 10 years old. Never did I see the contrast more clearly between liberty and captivity. Never did I experience so profoundly how just one step could take a person from freedom into captivity and then, thank God, back again. I could take those steps because I was American. When the wall was erected, those who lived on the east side had no say in the matter. For them, from one day to the next, their freedom was gone. As a teenager, my family continued to travel. I saw how Americans either took their freedom for granted and flaunted it or protested against it by standing in solidarity with the very enemies who sought to enslave them. Over the ensuing years, we continued to wallow in our freedom while at the same time despising it. From school on, we have been berated that every bad thing that happened in the past and is happening now—in the entire world—is our fault. Wow, good and evil were so clearly defined after we won WWII and overcame fascism. Or so we thought. We could turn on communism as the only evil left to vanquish, even as it invaded our borders through our educational system, indoctrinating our children. We have been blessed with years upon years of peace in the United States where we were spared the violence of the outside world and we took it for granted. We are now in one of those times of accelerated events that Lenin and Rushdie talked about. As our attention on social media is kept jumping in constant horror from one meme to the next, communism and fascism have been busy joining forces with Islam to overcome us. Very few have picked up on the connection. If one mentions it, people either look at you blankly or roll their eyes in derision. The Muslim Brotherhood is a perfect example of this unholy alliance. Since losing political power in Egypt, it took on a new tactic as a slippery snake impossible to pin down. It is everywhere and nowhere. It is the guiding force behind groups like antifa which has no central office and no single leader to lay the blame on. People laugh when you try to warn them. They say it is an anti-fascist ideology—duh, it’s in the name—just a lot of people organically coming together to fight fascism, when it is exactly the opposite. The Muslim Brotherhood is always in the shadows, influencing left and right, fascists and communists alike. This is why the Trump administration can’t simply designate it a terrorist organization. This gigantic web has so many strands, and each one must be untangled and identified. Except that some of those strands operate in countries where it is politically disadvantageous to do so.The Muslim Brotherhood is the largest political Islamic organization in the world. It operates across all continents, deeply embedded in Europe and yes, the United States, with organizations like CAIR. Their leaders tell Ami:“We all share the same ideology… The goal is an Islamic state that dominates the whole world.”Their strategy in the West? “Eliminate and destroy Western civilization from within.”They’re not whispering. They’re bragging. They openly support violent offshoots like Hamas. They believe America is collapsing and they’re next in line. T

A lot of people in the community refer to AGI or Superintelligence as God-like A.I." ~ philosopher and historian, Emile P. TorresFormer Googler Adam Singer put on X: “Amusing that a bunch of people who spend entire day[s] on computers and worship code as religion think we’re in a computer simulation. Fascinating behavior, remember when people who worked outside all day thought [Ra], the sun god was in charge? No one is breaking any new ground here.”Certainly, there is nothing new under the sun, but there is always a slick salesman trying to convince us otherwise. Every culture down through history worshiped gods or a god, and people seem to think this is because they all made up the same idea. But to me, it is proof that they all knew, instinctively, just as we all know, that God exists. This world did not happen by chance. There is a designer. With the Age of AI upon us, the tech gods would like mere mortals (that doesn’t include them) to throw off these old western “myths” of Judeo-Christianity and embrace a new religion of A.I. Since when have the rulers of this world ever wanted to obey the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Sure, they used “God” and religion as a way to control the masses—and they are doing the same thing now with AI.God gave the Jews His guidelines for how to live: The Ten Commandments. But even the term “Judeo-Christian” is no longer acceptable. It has become anathema, even among many who call themselves Christians. Everything, our entire foundational beliefs, must be destroyed to make room for new gods. But what could be truer, or simpler or more straightforward than the Ten Commandants?* You shall have no other gods before Me. (Exodus 20:3)* You shall not make for yourself a carved image. (Exodus 20:4)* You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. (Exodus 20:7)* Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Exodus 20:8)* Honor your father and your mother. (Exodus 20:12)* You shall not murder. (Exodus 20:13)* You shall not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:14)* You shall not steal. (Exodus 20:15)* You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Exodus 20:16)* You shall not covet. (Exodus 20:17).Significance and Context* The Ten Commandments were given to Moses on Mount Sinai after the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. They serve as a foundational code of conduct for moral living and are significant in both Judaism and Christianity.* These commandments emphasize the importance of worshiping God, respecting others, and maintaining ethical behavior in society. They have influenced legal systems and moral principles throughout history.Are these tech masters trying to say that their AI god can give us better guidance? How, when their AI gods are created by them—greedy, narcissistic men? These characters love to talk about the dangers of AI but somehow they are quite sure they will subvert it. As irrational as they are, they fancy themselves to be “Rationalists.”In an Article by Cade Metz, these “rationalists” meet in downtown Berkeley, in an old hotel that “has become a temple to the pursuit of artificial intelligence and the future of humanity. Its name is Lighthaven.”Many of the A.I. world’s biggest names — including Shane Legg, a co-founder of Google’s DeepMind; Anthropic’s chief executive, Dario Amodei; and Paul Christiano, a former OpenAI researcher who now leads safety work at the U.S. Center for A.I. Standards and Innovation — have been influenced by Rationalist philosophy.Elon Musk met his former partner, the pop star Grimes there. In this place of worship to the gods they are creating, they argue that when an all-powerful A.I. arrives, it will punish everyone who has not done everything they can to bring it into existence. But somehow, they will escape this punishment by creating safe havens for themselves. They are crazy. Yet no one is stopping their insanity. They want us to forget about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob because I suppose their god will be … better? There are any number of AI gurus that I’ve talked about before, but let’s focus for the moment on Peter Thiel. Thiel is a part of what they are calling the Christian revival in Silicon Valley. I’ve never met him, but I can tell you, I would not want him anywhere near me or my children or my grandchildren, or great grandchildren, I do not want those I love influenced in any way by his madness. And yet, there he is, there they all are, surrounding us, because they are the creators of the AI that is b

I’ve been enjoying my family for the past few days. It’s been absolutely wonderful. I will have another essay, hopefully tomorrow!In the meantime, today I was on The Freedom Conversation Podcast discussing the Transhumanist culture being woven all around us, in particular, my essay: Elon Musk promises Americans “Novos Ordo Seclorum”, meaning “A New Order of the Ages”.I really enjoyed this in-depth conversation. I liked that David had read the essay we were talking about (not everyone does!) and had researched the scientific links. Periodically, he put up images of the parts we were discussing. It made for a very satisfying and interesting exchange. Transhumanism as a main topic of conversation on David’s podcast. I encourage you to check it out.

You can listen to me read here:I am sharing this series of videos as a lead into my upcoming interview on Yasmine Mohammed’s podcast on Nov 15th. I’m excited about that interview, due to my great respect for Yasmine and how she overcame so much in her life. This interview will be the first time someone has given me the opportunity to tell my story of life in Luxor. The two videos here are of a wedding celebration I attended in February 2018. When I first came to Luxor, I was staying in the villa of a woman I had met while living for a few months in Costa Rica. She had gone to Egypt on holiday and next thing we knew, she had married a local guy and was using the money she earned online to turn this villa into an Airbnb. I was their first guest. She and her husband took me to this wedding celebration. As a writer and artist, I was entranced by the light and shadows, the atmosphere. Not the music, if I can even call it that. The first video above shows women dancing. This is allowed because it is just the two immediate families. There are other celebrations where men and women are separated. You can see one larger woman who flamboyantly joins in. She stands out as a foreigner. She and I were the only foreigners at this event, deep inside a village. I was not about to get up and dance. It was all too mysteriously unknown for me to feel comfortable joining in. It’s common to have horse dancing and stick dancing at these outdoor family celebrations, as the video above shows. I had studied the Okinawan Bo (staff), so the stick dancing fascinated me. It was so different from the hard and fast moves I had been taught in katas.Weddings are the biggest excitement in the villages, and they happen almost every weekend except during the hot summer months. It’s common to invite tourists, to get them connected to a family and then use that connection to extract money from the tourists. These traditional Egyptian weddings are very different from the Orfi marriages local men arrange with foreign women. I will write more about them later. But even when these Muslim men legally marry foreign women, promising that they will never take a second Egyptian wife, it’s almost always a lie. Sometimes the men already have an Egyptian wife the foreign woman doesn’t know about. Often the men use the foreign wife to obtain a visa to her country, work for a few years or take her hard-earned money, sending it back to his family, lying that his mother is sick, or his brother lost his job, there’s a hundred different reasons. What he’s really doing is building a house or flat so he can marry an Egyptian woman chosen by the two families.The Egyptian families and wives are always in on the plot. Sometimes, the Egyptian wife might not be happy about the foreign woman, but more often than not, her attitude is the same as her husband’s, the foreign woman is despised as an infidel, to be used for money. I belong to a few online groups where foreign women share their stories of what happened to them. Over and over, it’s the same story of lies and abuse, and being used and then abandoned. Today, I went into one of the groups and clicked on the first post and it was a warning to foreign women:Ladies!If you have children out of wedlock with a Muslim man ….the kids aren’t his kids even if he claims themYep, the kids are considered to be fatherless and only the mother can claim themWhy?So only women can have the burden of this “ sin” child's lineage to his biological father is severed and he only has a lineage to his biological mother onlyDon’t be surprised if they don’t care about your kids and why they are ashamed of themThey have the right to do this according to Islam. Any woman whose husband abandons her and her children, and she still lives in her home country should feel grateful. Good riddance to the monster. She can carry on and make a new life for herself and her children. If the foreign woman lives in Egypt, she has no rights. Her husband can abuse her, make her life miserable until she leaves the country (if she has the money to do so) and he will take the children. She will never see them again. I know of so many tragedies like this. Here’s the next post that I saw, illustrating what happens to foreign wives:No judgments, please! This is a long story, but I need to get it out of me.Today, I received the most heartbreaking news.I met my husband in the UK. We’ve been together since 2019 and have two children (one just turned 3 months). My husband has been away from Egypt for 10 years - he couldn’t go back before turning 30 due to military issues.This summer, it was finally possible for him to visit, and I supported him fully, even though I had to stay in the UK with our newborn baby. I was genuinely happy for him, that he could finally be with his family.He returned to the UK nearly two weeks ago. Today, while he was talking to his mum, someone else joined the conversation. I asked him who it was, and he lied to me. When I asked to see who it

I had a great conversation with Johnny Vedmore about all things “Bird Flu Blues”. We talked about the obsession with progress for the sake of progress and how the “experts” justify their experiments and not telling the public about it—even when it’s the public they are experimenting on. We even touched on science fiction, my favorite genre. This is a public episode.

Another conversation with the brilliant Rick Munn. I come in at the half hour point. But it’s all good! Like Rick says, it’s free flow conversation. We never plan ahead what we will talk about. It’s always stimulating and thought provoking. Because of my fighting background and the much-anticipated fight between "Iron" Mike Tyson and "The Problem Child" Jake Paul, set for July 20, 2024, we talked about what it means to prepare for a fight and a bit of the psychology behind fighting. We are in a battle, more spiritual than physical, but preparing physically, living a healthy life, being consistent, disciplined and focused is vital.

I had such a great time talking with Joseph. We are both artists, so we have a lot in common. We discussed the meaning of art and the consequences, good or bad, of mixing art with technology, as well as delving into my latest essays.

My interview starts at 38:50. It’s about 20 minutes long.Here are all my apologies first! I tried to edit this video with no success. I need a tech-savvy assistant! The lighting is terrible. I am always on the move, so I do not have a studio with proper lighting and sound, I’m always improvising. This won’t get better anytime soon! I am hoping to drive across the United States in a couple of months, writing along the way. And if the friendly skies are still open for travel in the fall, I intend to take a trip to India and do some writing from there. When I was in Costa Rica last year, the noise of the insects was so loud it interfered with my interviews, but to me, that gives it all a bit more atmosphere! I am a traveler!I was really happy Rick chose to talk about my essay, Way of the Warrior. It’s always refreshing to get away from the darker topics and share some of the ways I’ve found to be inspired and motivated. We focused on the Bruce Lee quote: ‎"The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus."Hope you enjoy the conversation!GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Karen Hunt is a prolific blogger, the author/illustrator of 19 children’s books, co-founder of InsideOUT Writers, founder of My World Project, author of the YA Fantasy series, NIGHT ANGELS CHRONICLES and the sci-fi novel LUMINARIA: Tales of Earth & Oran, Love & Revenge.

Locked & Loaded: Serving up a diet of current affairs with a healthy dose of salt and light. Promoting truth and exposing lies, global and local. Highlighting and discussing issues mainstream media are paid to ignore.As with so many incredible people, I met Rick on Twitter (now X), and we’ve been having these conversations for more than a year now, maybe closer to two! Rick is in Northern Ireland and I’m in Phoenix, so that means 3 am for me. Despite it being the middle of the night, I always look forward to our interactions, knowing I will come away energized and inspired—and I hope you will, too. Rick is another one who recently realized I am Dave Hunt’s daughter—after so many conversations, it’s kind of funny! We talked a bit about that, and then about the Israel/Gaza war. We managed to include some points about my latest essay, Zuckerberg's Mystical, Magical Metaverse is Everyone's Hell on Earth, and his fascinating interview on the Lex Fridman Podcast inside the Metaverse. We explored Zuckerberg’s idea that reality isn’t just what you see and hear, etc. in the “real” world but a new reality is being created in order to “live forever” in the metaverse.

Here’s my most recent conversation with Hrvoje Moric. It was my first time devoting an entire conversation to the memory of my father, Dave Hunt.I didn't always agree with him but he taught me about courage and honor and not to follow the crowd but to stand on my own two feet. I learned that speaking up for truth is seldom popular and you have to be prepared to face the consequences.

I can think of no better way to spend a Saturday morning than 2 hours in conversation with the incomparable Trish Wood. This is the second half of our conversation. I will always remember that Trish was the first person to interview me on the radio—and how nervous I was! For this reason, I appreciate Twitter because it’s thanks in large part to the many wonderful connections I made on the platform—like Trish— that my readership has grown so much on Substack. Ironically, now that “X” is the bastion of free speech, it feels more oppressive than ever. At least before Elon Musk took over, we knew who our enemies were. Now, it’s murkier and the truth is harder to find. This is one of the many topics Trish and I discuss, the concept of “Soft Totalitarianism” and how seductive it can be, compared to the harsh totalitarianism of the communist era. “Live not by Lies” is a major theme throughout our discussion. Solzhenitsyn’s words were used by Rod Dreher as the title of his book “Live not by Lies”, that I highly recommend. Yes, the book says it is for Christians, but it’s for everyone who holds the same basic values. Dreher talked about how the way those who were persecuted under communism survived was by building strong communities of like-minded people within your own neighborhood. Those who could be trusted to care for one another. We can see how an effort in the West has been made to destroy the family unit and to isolate people from one another. So, we must come together to fight against that. An inspiring example we see today is how Christian and Muslim parents are joining forces against woke ideology in the school system. Trish Wood:Award-winning investigative journalist and interviewer Trish Wood has been blowing up conventional wisdom for decades. A television and radio trailblazer, she’s renowned for chasing organized crime bosses through Tokyo, exposing crooked religious cranks, dodging drunken teens with guns at checkpoints in war-torn Burundi, and setting free innocent men.

We talked about Living in Bizarro World. I’m on about 20 minutes into the show. It’s a short one, about 15 minutes long. The hosts of the show are Brian McClain and Lynn Shaw. Bryan ‘Hesher’ McClain, holds a Master’s degree in ‘Information Technology Management,’ and spent sixteen years working in the field of large scale experiment design and analysis. For the last ten years of he’s been focused on podcasting with an emphasis on media analysis, propaganda deconstruction, technocracy and cultural engineering.Lynn Shaw’s passion, commitment and involvement with human trafficking began when she represented an author who had written about her horrific experience at the hands of an abusive husband and then the resulting years of her suffering, including the accompanying domestic violence that almost killed her and her children. After becoming immersed in the subject, Lynn’s further research led to investigating more about the horrific and ongoing pandemic of human trafficking and child predation as national and global crises. The time is now to form an alliance with proven warriors and advocates committed to raising awareness and seeking permanent solutions to these crimes against humanity. This is a public episode.

It’s not every day I have the pleasure of talking with the witty and insightful Rick Munn. Actually, it’s never daytime for me, since he lives way across the pond in Northern Ireland. For him, it’s 11 am. For me, it’s 3 am. I have to admit there are some wonderful things about technology, like how it brings people together around the world in ways we’d never be able to do otherwise. If only those technocrats hadn’t gotten so greedy and drunk with power, the internet would have been amazing. Why’d they have to ruin everything? We talk about UBIs, Chicago’s out-of-control crime, Maui fires, California hurricanes and so much more. Break Free with Karen Hunt is a reader-supported publication.

3 am Tuesday morning found me in conversation with the one and only Rick Munn. There are some great things about technology. Namely, I can be sitting here in Arizona and talking to a radio host in Ireland and our voices can reach out to people all over the world. We must continue using the resources we have in the best ways possible. On today’s show Karen Hunt discusses Costa Rica, immortality & trans-humanism, artificial intelligence, the futility of boycotts, Luddite Kids (the kids saying NO to smartphones), and LQBTQ are discussed. (Only I should add that it is now LGBTQIA+, an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, and more). Just one more step along the seductive path leading our children toward “posthumanism” as I talk about in my latest essay, Birth of Superhuman-- Death of ManYou also might want to check out my essay, To Live Forever, published today in Off-Guardian, if you haven’t read it already.

This was a stimulating conversation with a lot of back and forth and agreeing to disagree. I will be writing about RFK Jr. It’s on my long, long list…On today's show, Karen Hunt and Ruckus explain why they disagree with Joseph that Joe Rogan's interview with RFK Jr. is a 'game changer' (mostly citing the massive interest and investment of time and money on future mRNA technology based medicine) and take turns exploring a handful of black pills that further make the case technocratic top-down controlled systems and people are being falsely presented as organic alternatives, meant to trap everyone inside their echo-chambers just in time for a major global polycrisis.If you want to see the “debate” this is hilarious. https://twitter.com/damonimani/status/1671313596494536704?s=20I wish I could say a debate between RFK Jr and Peter Hotez would be a game-changer but first, it will never happen, and second, yes, it got into mainstream media, but only to further do the dirty work of discrediting anyone who dares defy The Science.

A few days ago, I spoke with Lee Stranahan on his excellent show, The Backstory. You can find our discussion 30 minutes into the show, which I have uploaded above.

State of the Nation with Bryan McClain and Lynn Shaw bring you today’s breaking news, current events and cultural issues from a simple, down to earth perspective.”I don’t always have time to upload all the interviews that I do, but I wanted to make sure I included this one from June 6th, my birthday—yep, there’s nothing more I’d rather do than talk to awesome people about important issues! Oh, I also took a spin class that morning and have some interesting observations from what happened during the class that I hope I can share in an upcoming essay (I’m a certified spin instructor and I really love the workout). Anyway, this was a fantastic conversation that I think you’ll find informative and inspirational.
