    I have managed to listen to all podcasts with no problem via Apple and 21 C Wire. First found Patrick on the excellent UK Column and his slot on TNT. Love the Freddie Ponton perspectives from France and Basil Valentine too, Please keep on with your brilliant work, telling it as it is in the face of an emaciated and appallingly neutered MSM environment.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

UKC News: Palestinian Land Sale + Trump Iran Deal + Albania Protests
Q: What is your assessment of the UK government's approach to Gaza and related settlements in light of Western policy and lobbying?
Rahmeh argues that there is a hypocrisy in Western policy, with powerful lobbies and geopolitical interests shaping responses, while civilian suffering and international law take a backseat to strategic narratives.
UKC News: Palestinian Land Sale + Trump Iran Deal + Albania Protests
Q: Dr. Rahmeh, could you explain how the sale of Palestinian land in the West Bank is being framed legally and what international bodies are weighing in?
Rahmeh explains that the settlements are considered illegal by the International Court of Justice, with Western governments imposing some sanctions but lacking full enforcement; she emphasizes the ongoing humanitarian impact and the legal ambiguities that complicate response.
SUNDAY WIRE: EP 598 'The Epstein Class Head for Albania'
Q: What is the core allegation about the Albanian private island deals?
A network involving Kushner, Dutch shell companies, and Albanian officials is alleged to enable privatization of land and resources for geopolitical leverage, with a focus on Israeli involvement; the guest clip provides background and receipts.
SUNDAY WIRE: EP 595 'Saint George Was a Palestinian'
Q: What is the central provocative claim of the episode?
Saint George is presented as a Palestinian symbol and the show uses this framing to critique nationalist narratives and highlight perceived Western complicity in Middle East conflicts.
Prepping the Ground For World War 3? – Charlie Robinson talks to Patrick Henningsen
Q: What was your take on the Anarcho Polco events and the surrounding situation in Puerto Vallarta?
Patrick describes the events as chaotic and newsworthy, with both real danger (car attacks, city lockdown) and the broader implication that disruption was leveraged to draw attention to political and cartel dynamics.
