    How Hegseth's Crusade is an Integral part of White Christian Nationalism w/Matt Taylor

    This conversation is from the archives but is perhaps more important now than ever before. I talked to Dr. Matthew Taylor, author of The Violent Take it By Force.

This interview blew my mind into tiny little pieces and its a must listen right now. Please support this podcast with a paid subscription at freedomoverfascism.us.

    110. Freedom,Resistance, Women, and Murder in Iran with Zahra Amanpour

    Today I spoke to Zahra Amanpour, an Iranian-American woman whose life has been shaped by Iran’s struggle for freedom. Born during the 1979 revolution, Zahra grew up in the resistance movement—her parents were activists, and her father was killed in 1988 during one of the regime’s mass roundups. Now living in America where she runs an economic development business called Main Street Assembly, she remains deeply connected to the Iranian resistance and offered a firsthand perspective on what’s happening on the ground. The most recent uprisings began on December 28th, sparked by the collapse of Iran’s currency, and within days protests erupted across approximately 95 cities—essentially every town, city, and village in the country. This is fundamentally a feminist movement led by women, with Maryam Rajavi at the helm. Women have been specifically targeted by the regime for 45 years, and in response, they’ve become the backbone of the resistance—leading chants, confronting guards, and driving the struggle for freedom
