American expat and radio host Jason Smith joins Carl Zha to provide a ground-level view of life in China, directly countering prevalent Western media narratives. From debunking the "social credit score" dystopia and discussing China's remarkable safety to analyzing the tangible improvements in daily life and infrastructure over the past decade, Smith offers a perspective based on 12 years of living in Beijing. The conversation delves into the real impact of the US-China trade war on Chinese society, the stark affordability and quality of life, and concludes with a nuanced outlook on the future of US-China relations, including potential pathways to cooperation.

Good Reasons for Why You Should Not Ignore Sudan

Mike, Charles and Jerm discuss the war in Sudan and why it is largely ignored across the world. The deflection is certainly not organic.

Talking points:
● Sudan's crisis does not get much media attention
● Big power politics are behind many African conflicts
● Western countries need to take ownership of the results of their actions
● The media often glosses over the outsiders who fuel the conflict
● Foreign aid sometimes makes things worse instead of better
● Global conflicts are all connected and affect what happens locally
● You need to follow the money to understand what is really happening
● Some NGOs actually work for foreign governments
● We need to know where foreign money goes and why
African countries must constantly fight off outside interference

Nick Hudson is PANDA's Chairman and an actuary with broad international experience in finance. He has settled into a career as a private equity investor. Jerm and Nick explore various themes. They begin with the nature of public discourse and how fear and dogma impact societal beliefs.

The pair delve into the complexities of health and immunity while they discuss the limitations of binary thought to understand these nuanced topics. They examine the role of propaganda to shape narratives and highlight how it influences public perception and decision-making processes.

The conversation moves on to address the challenges posed by centralised control through frameworks like Sustainable Development Goals, and then explores inadequacies with models to understand complex systems.

Nick and Jerm conclude with an examination of philosophical implications for health and mortality. They question conventional approaches to the fundamental aspects of human existence whilst they advocate for more sophisticated thought beyond simplistic binary frameworks.

In this thorough analysis of how libraries are used to promote globalist agendas, Professor Diane Rasmussen exposes the United Nation’s 17 ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ (SDGs) and how they are being inverted to help achieve a sinister aim.

Diane breaks down Sustainable Development Goal 16, showing all is not what it seems when it comes to the global dissemination of information. Diane also looks at the academic and research organisations unwittingly contributing to the globalist agenda under the guise of ‘Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion’ (EDI).

In this compelling episode of the Silk and Steel Podcast, host Carl Zha sits down with Einar Tangen, an American lawyer, entrepreneur, and media commentator based in Beijing for over 20 years. They dissect the dramatic shift in US-China relations—from the optimistic era of "Chimerica" to today's acrimonious trade wars and strategic competition.

Einar provides a unique, on-the-ground perspective, analyzing the clash of expectations between the two systems, the real impact of globalization on the American middle class, and the internal US political and economic dysfunctions that have fueled China's role as a scapegoat. This is a deep dive into one of the world's most critical relationships, filled with sharp analysis, personal anecdotes, and candid predictions for the future.

Alex Newman, an award-winning international journalist and author, observes that the COP 30 climate summit revealed increasing spiritual and pagan elements.

He argues that the US boycott of the summit was a strategic move against globalist agendas, highlighting concerns about how education is being used as a tool for indoctrination around climate change. Alex emphasises that the indoctrination of children is a critical issue that needs addressing, suggesting that Sustainable Development is a guise for controlling societal structures.
He warns that transhumanism poses a significant threat to humanity and traditional values.

The discussion moves on to his concerns about language manipulation being used as a tactic to promote harmful ideologies, before concluding that family values are essential for a healthy society and countering indoctrination.

Jamie Andrews is a scientist and project manager who leads the comprehensive Virology Control Studies project. It involves over 100 contributors and includes experienced microbiologists and geneticists. Virology Control Studies explores scepticism that surrounds the existence of viruses with vivid metaphors that illustrate misinterpretation in virology.
Jamie argues that methods used by virologists lead to false conclusions. He suggests that if you falsify the physical thing that virologists claim is a virus, then viruses do not actually exist.
Jamie emphasises that the context of the environment is crucial in scientific observation. Virologists may misinterpret what they see due to a lack of direct evidence. Throughout the conversation, Jamie stresses the importance of critical thought to evaluate scientific claims. He argues that scepticism in science can lead to deeper understanding and that all scientific claims should be scrutinised for accuracy.

Sandi Adams and former British MP Andrew Bridgen discuss some of the main issues shaping the world today. From the suppression and imprisonment of lawyer Reiner Fuellmich and Andrew’s recent trip to Germany to see him in jail, to the woeful state of British healthcare, this wide-ranging conversation tackles a host of important topics.

The pair discuss assisted dying proposals in the UK, and the risk of shifting human life to a value based on cost, not compassion. It is a sensitive subject with far-reaching consequences, and Andrew brings a perspective rarely heard in mainstream discussion.

The conversation also widens out to the war in Ukraine, the flow of western resources, and the powerful corporate and technological forces shaping global conflict and governance.

Also discussed are emerging AI structures, international partnerships, and digital identity proposals, and how they could redefine freedom here in the UK.
Despite the seriousness of the topics, the interview is ultimately energising and uplifting. Public pressure is working, and people are waking up. If we continue to stand firm against government overreach, and insist on truth and accountability, the tide can and will turn.

This is a conversation for anyone who senses that the world is shifting fast and wants to understand how we can still shape the outcome.

� Is the supposed "detente" between the US and China just a tactical pause before a bigger confrontation? And why is the Trump administration suddenly cranking up aggression towards Venezuela to eleven? In this dense and urgent episode of the Silk and Steel podcast, Carl Zha is joined by journalist and geopolitical analyst Ben Norton to dissect the shifting strategies of the US empire. They break down the reality behind the "decoupling" narrative, the new Cold War against China, and the alarming escalation in Latin America that could plunge the region into chaos.

� KEY TAKEAWAYS �

No Detente, Just a Strategy Shift: Ben argues there is no genuine detente with China, but a short-term de-escalation to allow the US to "decouple" its economy and prepare for more severe medium-to-long-term confrontation.
Decoupling is for Escalation: The US push to decouple from China is not about economics, but about minimizing blowback to the US when it imposes even harsher sanctions in the future, akin to those on Russia.

Tech War is Protectionism: Tariffs on Chinese EVs (like BYD) and attempts to ban AI models (like DeepSeek) are not about national security but about protecting uncompetitive US tech giants (like Tesla and OpenAI) from superior, cheaper Chinese products.

Latin America is the New Front: With direct confrontation with China too risky, the US is pivoting to solidify hegemony in its "backyard" (the Monroe Doctrine), targeting China's allies and partners to isolate it.

Venezuela is the Immediate Target: The US is using a fabricated "drug cartel" narrative (similar to the WMD lie in Iraq) to justify military escalation against Venezuela, a key Chinese partner and the country with the world's largest oil reserves.

Military Action is Likely: Ben assesses there is a high likelihood of US missile or airstrikes on Venezuelan territory. A full-scale invasion is less likely, but special forces operations and attempts to seize oil infrastructure are on the table.

Marco Rubio is a Key Architect: As the simultaneous Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio holds unprecedented power and is a lifelong hawk dedicated to overthrowing the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

Jerm’s conversation with Todd Hayen, a psychotherapist, discusses the inherent tendency of humans to be manipulated by those in power. It explores the psychological and historical aspects of this dynamic, to which he refers as the “contagion of idiocy”.

Todd emphasises that we can be very easily manipulated. He notes that humans have always been manipulated by those in power throughout history. Todd explains that manipulation is a natural tendency in power dynamics with historical examples that show this pattern across governance systems where small groups have historically controlled larger populations.

Discussion moves on to the difficulty for some individuals to recognise their own manipulation. Todd observes that recognition of manipulation is often denied by individuals. He introduces the concept of 'sheep' to reflect
a refusal to acknowledge manipulation, and argues that power dynamics fundamentally shape societal behaviour and beliefs.

As he concludes, Todd suggests that understanding manipulation can lead to greater awareness. Awareness of manipulation can empower individuals to recognise and resist the broader implications of it in society.
