JM—Much of Western propaganda turns on the myth of all powerful “siloviki” – agents of power in Russia representing either the military or the intelligence services, which Putin balances to maintain his “dictatorial rule”. It is these silovoki who pit Russia against the liberal democracy and that bastion of freedom – Kiev.

There are constant references to Putin’s KGB background, with the KGB understood as the USSR’s Gestapo. . Putin is the ultimate silovik.

This word, “silovik” tells us much about the centuries old phobic response of Europe and the Anglosphere to Russian civilization and its values. And indeed Putin IS the “ultimate Silovik” have reinvented the concept of public service in the context of a renewed Russia.

CM—The ANPP decides, while the Party guides and recommends. Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz explained at the Extraordinary Session of the Party that the proposals are profound changes that respond to the harsh reality of the current historical moment. At the same time, the proposals are consistent with and complementary to the Economic and Social Program of the Government of 2026.

JUDGE NAP—The host, Judge Andrew Napolitano, introduces the date (June 23, 2026) and the featured guest, Ambassador Chas Freeman. The contextual framing is about why Iran should trust Donald Trump, immediately followed by a critical assessment of the current state of U.S. governance, described as an abandonment of the Constitution. This foreshadows a discussion on government actions in the international and economic spheres.

DL—Dimitri Lascaris speaks with Ajamu Baraka about Colombia’s Presidential Election and Gustavo Petro’s allegation that Israel tampered with the voting tabulation to bring about a razor-thin victory for a far-right, Zionist millionaire. Dimitri and Ajamu also discuss Iran’s efforts to negotiate a peace deal with the treacherous Trump regime.

BN/GER—The USA and Iran are holding negotiations to end the war, but Tehran condemned Washington for violating the agreement, because Israel keeps attacking Lebanon. US Vice President JD Vance appeared to criticize Israel, but Ben Norton explains the deep hypocrisy of the United States, which is still giving Netanyahu billions of dollars of weapons in military aid. In Part 2: Western governments claim to be models of democracy, and demonize their geopolitical adversaries as “authoritarian”, but empirical evidence shows that the USA and European countries are oligarchies dominated by economic elites and large corporations. Billionaire Donald Trump is the perfect symbol of this, but he’s by no means the only one.

INDRAJIT—The United States (along with Canada and Mexico) was chosen to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018, at which point it was already an obviously bad idea. By 2018, Donald Trump A) existed and B) had already signed a ‘Muslim Ban’, approved by the US Supreme Court about the same time as the World Cup bid. The signs were already there that this was a bad idea, but FIFA went ahead anyways and here we are. The 2026 World Cup is an offensive debacle before it’s even started.
