    #351 - Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson: GameStop, SEC Censorship, and Orthodox Christianity

    #351 - Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson: GameStop, SEC Censorship, and Orthodox Christianity

    Father Emmanuel Lemelson is a thoughtful and reflective leader with a deep understanding of Christian teachings regarding wealth and finance. Historically, Christians avoided the practice of usury, viewing it as contrary to their faith. However, Father Lemelson acknowledges that today's Christians, across the spectrum, are involved in capital markets, both directly and indirectly. He contemplates the moral complexities of such involvement and reflects on the saying that the love of money is the root of all evil, expressing a need for discernment in these matters. His insights offer a bridge between traditional values and contemporary financial practices.
    Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson is a Greek Orthodox priest, activist investor, and creator of The Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson Podcast, which reveals the darkest corners of government, Wall Street, and culture with commentary from an Orthodox Christian perspective.

    #350 - Matt Kennard: The US Empire Declassified - CIA, Censorship, and Foreign Wars

    #350 - Matt Kennard: The US Empire Declassified - CIA, Censorship, and Foreign Wars

    Matt Kennard is an investigative journalist and author renowned for his incisive reporting on global power structures. His career spans several influential years, predominantly during his tenure at the Financial Times, where his assignments took him across the United States—New York and Washington, D.C.—and around the globe, including Haiti, Bolivia, Turkey, and Palestine. Through his extensive on-ground investigations, Kennard uncovered a pervasive yet largely unspoken truth: the existence of a U.S. empire that subtly governs international affairs. Despite its significant influence, this concept remains conspicuously absent from mainstream media discourse, notably in esteemed publications like the Financial Times. Kennard’s work seeks to illuminate this invisible empire, challenging readers and audiences to recognize and confront the underlying dynamics shaping our world.
