World Ablaze with George Fontes

In this episode, I examine the Iran ceasefire debacle as I go over the actions and events that lead to the breakdown. AG Pam Bondi was fired, and I discuss some of the reasons and offer my opinion on the situation. I then turn my attention Gavin Newsome and the California High Speed Rail Project that has yet to be completed since its stat date back in 2008. The High Speed Rail Project now faces a $90 billion spending gap and an overall cost of $126 billion after 18 years of ongoing politics, bureaucracy, and alleged fraud.

I give updates on the conflict with Iran as well as my unpopular opinion. After discussing the Middle East I turn my attention on the USA, as I discuss the blatant disrespect shown to the American people by congress.The Save Act passed that House one year ago, yet the Senate has yet to cast a vote, and Republicans cave to the Democrat party by passing DHS funding that defunds ICE ad cripples Customs and Border Patrol via a Voice Vote at 3AM, which keeps the traitors names off the books and passes a budget in favor of leftist social pressures rather than common sense governance.Support our Sponsors!!!Click Here For Discounts!!!Web: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/Substack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze Hosted on Acast.

I break down Kharg Island's importance and the economic disaster that would befall Iran if the U.S. takes control. This could lead to the total collapse of the regime while also putting further strain on China's oil needs. The control of Kharg Island and Iran's oil could also lead to the seemingly unintentional position of the U.S. becoming both the largest producer of oil, and the largest exporter of oil.Support our Sponsors!!!Click Here For Discounts!!!Web: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/Substack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze Hosted on Acast.

Emmy-winning investigative journalist and television producer Rob Rosen joins the show to discuss his new book, Crimes of Omission: Distorted Justice – The Media’s War on Truth.Rob reveals how major national stories — from Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown (“hands up, don’t shoot”) to George Floyd, Freddie Gray, and beyond — were shaped not just by outright falsehoods, but by selective framing, rushed narratives, and critical facts omitted from coverage. Rob explores how journalism shifted from pursuing truth to becoming activists, and why public trust in the media has collapsed to historic lows.This isn’t a defense of bad policing or an attack on all journalists — it’s a candid examination of how “crimes of omission” have distorted justice, divided the country, and left people reacting to entirely different versions of reality.Grab a copy of Crimes of Omission wherever books are sold.https://www.rprmedia.net/bookSupport our Sponsors!!!Click Here For Discounts!!!Web: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/Substack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze Hosted on Acast.

Tom Joseph advocates for reforming U.S. elections—specifically the candidate nomination process—to ensure voters get representatives who truly align with their priorities rather than those influenced by big donors, party insiders, media, or gerrymandering.Tom Joseph is the founder and treasurer of America’s Main Street Party (mainstreetparty.org), a non-ideological political entity that uses technology and a "People’s Primary" system to nominate candidates for Congress. This approach aims to create a level playing field where: Potential nominees compete through multi-round endorsements from constituents (ordinary voters), with endorsements serving as the sole "currency."Wealth, political connections, outside money, and traditional party gatekeepers have no influence.The system operates as a free and equal alternative primary, bypassing or supplementing existing party structures without requiring new legislation initially.If the party achieves national status, the winner gains automatic ballot access in the general election.The core idea is to achieve fairer elections by focusing on genuine representation of voters' values—addressing issues like gerrymandering, elite control over nominations, and the lack of accountability in the current two-party-dominated system. Joseph positions this as a way to reclaim government "of the people" through accountability and grassroots-driven selection, often highlighting how traditional primaries favor insiders over everyday citizens. This concept ties into broader discussions on election reform, such as defeating gerrymandering via new party mechanisms (as Joseph has written about in outlets like IVN) and creating alternatives to polarized, donor-driven politics.https://www.mainstreetparty.org/Support our Sponsors!!!Click Here For Discounts!!!Web: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/Substack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze Hosted on Acast.

This episode features the return of Zolal Habibi, a prominent member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). In this timely and in-depth discussion, Zolal provides a firsthand Iranian perspective on the rapidly evolving crisis inside Iran amid escalating military confrontations, the reported death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in late February 2026 strikes, and the regime's weakening grip on power.Zolal offers critical updates on the ongoing unrest—including the January 2026 nationwide uprising that faced brutal suppression, resulting in thousands of deaths, mass arrests, and a severe internet blackout—along with the resurgence of resistance activities by NCRI-affiliated units targeting IRGC and Basij centers across multiple cities. Zolal shares insights into the Iranian people's demands for fundamental change, and the NCRI's vision for a secular, democratic republic.The conversation explores pathways forward from an insider viewpoint: how organized opposition can capitalize on the regime's vulnerabilities, the implications of recent U.S.-Israeli actions, the announcement of a provisional government for transitioning sovereignty to the people, and the extent to which Western nations should support (or refrain from overstepping in) Iran's internal fight for freedom and self-determination.This episode is essential listening for anyone seeking an authentic, resistance-led analysis of Iran's tipping point and the prospects for a free, democratic future.#FreeIran #Iran #NCRI #WorldAblazeSupport our Sponsors!!!Click Here For Discounts!!!Web: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/Substack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze Hosted on Acast.

Author Michelle Styles takes us down a historical roadmap of the evolution of media manipulation and controlled narratives that have kept society contently boxed in and controlled. From government to big corporations, our destiny seems predetermined as we are continuously molded and manipulated into becoming "good citizens" and feed the big machine of power and control, as we are given a false sense of hope.Michelle's Website:https://smartsheepe.com/Support our Sponsors!!!Click Here For Discounts!!!Web: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/Substack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze Hosted on Acast.
