Is World War III on the horizon? From skyrocketing energy prices to food shortages and nuclear threats, the chaos in the Middle East is threatening to trigger a global economic meltdown. The US is trapped—fighting Israel's war with no exit strategy in sight. As tensions escalate, are we witnessing a calculated master plan, or are we sleepwalking into disaster?

This week on The Tea, Major General Charlie Herbert, a 34-year veteran of the British Army, breaks with military code to share his analysis of the global unravelling wrought by this war. Does America gain or lose from this war? Is Israel deliberately dragging the world into perpetual conflicts? Is Iran actually winning? And who will pay the highest price…

With the world in a food and energy chokehold, supranational institutions crumbling and European ministers warning of “sacrifices” ahead, one thing’s clear, there is a difficult future ahead.

Also on the show:

⚡ Israel’s strategy - Never ending wars

⚡ US Strategy Crisis – No plan, just chaos.

⚡ Hormuz Straitz – Trade held ransom.

⚡ Oil Wars – Is this another US war about oil?

⚡ Iran’s Growing Power – Strategic gains despite losses.

⚡ Netanyahu’s pipeline plan – Was this the plan all along?

⚡ Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal – Who is the real nuclear threat?

⚡ UK’s Complicity in this war - does this serve Britain?

⚡ British Nationals joining the IDF– Should they be investigated?

⚡ Israeli Lobby’s Influence – Subverting national interests

⚡ Collapse of International Law – to protect Israel?

⚡ Media Failure and Complicity – where is the free press?

Herbert warns: “This is an Israeli war being fought and enabled by the United States. They've got a puppet sitting in the White House and they are able to manipulate that puppet.”

"Truth isn't shared anymore. It’s manufactured."

For a decade, the script has been the same: Iran is "two weeks away" from a nuclear weapon. Is this a fact, or a decade-long disinformation campaign designed to sell an illegal war? From AI-generated war footage to bot networks swinging European elections, the "Disinformation Machine" is the most dangerous weapon system of the 21st century. And it’s in full swing in the US-Israel war on Iran. 

This week on The Tea, Marc Owen Jones, Associate Professor at Northwestern University in Qatar and author of Digital Authoritarianism in the Middle East, exposes the empires that turn hate into profit and the disinformation machines operating on Meta, X, TikTok, and beyond.

We discuss:

⚡ Iran and America’s war narratives: AI deepfakes and propaganda fuelling escalation

⚡ How the major tech companies profit from fake news and our outrage

⚡ How Donald Trump and others weaponise “truth”

⚡ Inside the global far-right disinformation networks

⚡ From “Islamism” to “Muslims”: how language gets quietly weaponised

⚡ UAE, Israel, and evangelical alliances — a shared anti-Muslim agenda

⚡ Dubai’s golden cage: influence, image, and narrative control

⚡ Far-right Islamophobic agenda targeting the mayors of London and NY

⚡ The Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and the 2024 disinformation push

⚡ Can UK and EU laws actually curb disinformation?

As Mark argues, disinformation isn’t just noise – it shapes policy, fuels racism, and prepares the ground for war. The narrative is messy, but the stakes are painfully real.

Corruption. Endless wars. Distruction. Propaganda. Empires don’t fall from external enemies — they rot from within. So, are we witnessing that collapse in real time?

From Iran to Gaza to Venezuela, the mask is slipping. The myth of a benevolent empire, spreading democracy and human rights, has crumbled. What’s left is what’s always been there: domination, extraction, control.

It's not about strategy. It's about profit. Wealth funnelled to a tiny elite, while corporations feed on crisis — turning war, environmental collapse, and even human suffering into business models.

In this eye-opening episode of The Tea, we sit down with legendary American journalist, Empire Files host and Peabody Award nominee, Abby Martin, to unpack what the final stage of the American empire really looks like — and where it’s headed next.

We discuss:

⚡ The war with Iran and the manufacturing of consent

⚡ The US–Israel alliance and shifting power in the region

⚡ Trump’s “cartoon dictatorship”

⚡ De-dollarisation and the limits of US global dominance

⚡ Military: the fourth biggest polluter in the world

⚡ The state of journalism: media control and propaganda

⚡ A multipolar world — shift or illusion?

⚡ AI and the future of warfare

⚡ Peter Thiel, the “Antichrist,” and the Vatican talks

As Abby Martin argues, “We have to confront this military empire at its core — the arteries of capital — because that’s the only language it understands.”

A sitting President named thousands of times in the Epstein files. Powerful figures across the globe involved in a web of crimes so vast and brazen that they may qualify as crimes against humanity, says the UN.

Yet the FBI declares the case closed. The DOJ insists there’s no evidence of a wider trafficking network.

The Epstein files are sending shockwaves worldwide — and what we’re seeing is only 2% of the FBI’s evidence. Thousands of pages remain heavily redacted. If there were no wider network, why are so many names still hidden?

In this explosive episode of The Tea, investigative journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley returns — one of only four reporters inside the Ghislaine Maxwell trial — to cut through the fog of the newly released documents.

We discuss:

⚡ Alleged obstruction of justice by the Trump administration

⚡ Epstein’s long and secretive ties to Israel

⚡ The DOJ contradiction: “case closed” vs ongoing redactions

⚡ Doctors secretly treating Epstein’s victims outside hospitals

⚡ How the FBI failed the victims

⚡ The unprecedented plea deal that let Epstein avoid serious charges

⚡ Could the war in Iran be a distraction from the Epstein files?

⚡ How civil settlements and NDAs silenced victims

⚡ Ghislaine Maxwell’s mysterious court appearances

⚡ “Pizzagate” and coded language in Epstein files

⚡ The Epstein Files Transparency Act — and potential violations

The Epstein scandal isn’t just about one man — it’s a story about how power protects itself. When victims speak out, and institutions refuse to act, justice fails all of us.

Is US Christian nationalism fueling a holy war in the Middle East?

As Israel and America target Iran, US troops are told that Donald Trump has been “anointed by Jesus” to ignite Armageddon — and Netanyahu is quoting scripture to justify bombs.

From the White House to the battlefield, Christian nationalism is turning geopolitics into prophecy.

In this explosive episode of The Tea, Myriam François speaks with Monte Mader, a former Christian nationalist insider who grew up at the heart of the Republican right. Monte exposes how apocalyptic theology is shaping foreign policy — and why claiming divine authority turns politics into holy war.

We discuss:

⚡ Netanyahu’s Bible quotes – fueling US evangelical support

⚡ The “New Taliban” – what the Christian right shares with extremists

⚡ Pete Hegseth’s faith politics – women “belong” in the home

⚡ Pam Bondi’s coded Christian messaging

⚡ GOP divides over Israel and Palestine

⚡ MAGA’s internal war and revival

⚡ Texas voter suppression targeting women

⚡ Faith-based policymaking on schools and abortion

⚡ ICE’s “immigration holy war”

⚡ Heritage Foundation “Nazi playbook” – extremist strategies exposed

Monte warns: Christian nationalism isn’t about Christ — it’s about power.

And even inside conservative circles, resistance is growing as more Americans see the MAGA movement for what it is — a fight for control, power, and empire.

Watch now to uncover how apocalyptic faith is rewriting US politics — and the world order.

We were told the rule of law would keep us safe. So why does it increasingly look like a system where power protects power?

This week on The Tea, we sit down with Tayab Ali — lawyer and director of the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians — about the growing clash between the rule of law and what he calls a “rules-based order.”

From the “unlawful” proscription of Palestine Action to the arrest of peaceful protesters, from UK citizens joining the IDF to the targeting of doctors, lawyers, and UN officials who speak out against the genocide, decisions are increasingly dictated by political interests — and the Israeli lobby, which pulls strings across government and media.

The result? A system that treats people differently depending on who they support.

We discuss:

🔍 The legacy of the Terrorism Act 2000 — security vs civil liberties

⚖️ The influence of the Israeli lobby in the UK and abroad

🌍 UK nationals joining the IDF — why aren’t they investigated?

🇺🇳 Sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese

🧑‍⚕️ The regulatory case of surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah

📢 Palestine Action and protest arrests under counter-terror laws

🏛️ Calls for a public inquiry into lobbying, influence, and policy decisions

⚖️ Potential end of trial by jury — who benefits from limiting public accountability?

🌍 The case South Africa brought against Israel at the International Court of Justice

As Tayab Ali warns, there’s a separate system for certain people and groups — and Israel is one of them. “We must reclaim the law, defend it at every level, and make sure justice applies equally to everyone” — or risk losing it entirely.

The Epstein investigation may be officially closed. But the power structure that made it possible is still intact — and still protecting itself.

Politicians, academics, billionaires, royals - and even a sitting president, cited thousands of times - are among those named. Claims of abuse, trafficking, shady deals, even cannibalism — but for the FBI, “there is nothing to see here.” In a scandal that crosses parties, political lines, and even oceans, one question remains: Who was Jeffrey Epstein, and why has no administration fully exposed the networks propping him up?

This week on The Tea, we sit down with historian, scholar, and former Green Party Vice Presidential candidate Butch Ware to ask the question few in power want answered: If there’s no crime, why are the names still redacted? And with millions of documents yet to be released, who is the system really protecting?

We dive into:

🇺🇸 Why the US President is “deeply compromised”

🏛️ Marco Rubio and the return of the American empire

🚨 Why the DOJ isn’t prosecuting anyone

🔗 The US bipartisan system is failing to hold the powerful accountable

📂 “PizzaGate” and ritual abuse: why the FBI is not investigating

🤝 Unlikely friends: the ties between Epstein and Bannon

🕵️ Epstein as a Mossad agent? Zionism’s influence on the US foreign policy

🌟 What we can learn from Jesse Jackson’s legacy

This isn’t just about one predator — it’s about a system of elite impunity that transcends party lines. As Butch Ware argues, the reckoning isn’t just for the “Epstein class.” It’s for the institutions — and the society — that allowed this to happen.

This episode discusses allegations and claims associated with the Jeffrey Epstein files. The individuals referenced in these materials have publicly denied any wrongdoing, and no conclusions of guilt should be drawn based solely on their inclusion in these documents or from this discussion. The information presented is for informational and discussion purposes only. Allegations remain allegations unless and until proven in a court of law.

The 2026 Epstein revelations have sparked a global legitimacy crisis, shaking political systems worldwide and causing a cascade of resignations, including here in the UK, the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, a shadowy figure named Morgan McSweeney.

So who is Morgan McSweeney, and how did his think tank, Labour Together, engineer a fundamental transformation of the Labour Party's nature, with the media's complicity, gutting the traditional Left?

This week on The Tea, investigative journalist Paul Holden exposes the hidden forces driving today’s political crisis. Beyond the headlines and political circus lies a shadowy network operating beyond public view or accountability. From lavish gratuities to flat-out lies and calculated misdirection, Keir Starmer’s leadership is a far cry from the radical eco-socialist platform he promised. But what we're witnessing isn’t a failure to deliver—it’s a deliberate strategy to cannibalise “the left” and reengineer the political spectrum.

This isn't just Leftist infighting. It’s the elite’s relentless fight to crush progressive change worldwide.

We dive into:

🔍 The right-wing war to destroy Corbynism

💥 How “antisemitism” was weaponised to gain political advantage

⚖️ Corbyn, Sanders, Mamdani: The fight against progressive politics

💸 Keir Starmer’s rise: From freebies to broken pledges

💰 The media’s role in inflaming the campaign against Jeremy Corbyn

🔴 Gaza: How it’s reshaping politics everywhere

💥 The secret behind Mamdani’s rise

As Paul Holden puts it: “We need to organise outside the status quo.” “The fight against figures like Corbyn, Mamdani, and Sanders is fierce because they are popular. And our politics should turn their popularity into real political power.”

In a world where housing, healthcare, and stability are out of reach, buying cheap clothes can feel like the only form of relief available. We’re told fast fashion is “affordable and accessible,” but the truth is that the elites rely on this cycle to keep us buying, distracted, and silent, so the system continues unchecked.

In this enlightening episode of The Tea, Aja Barber — writer, stylist, and author of Consumed — exposes how fast fashion became colonialism 2.0, why overconsumption is an engineered obsession, and how our wardrobes are linked to the erosion of workers’ rights worldwide.

We uncover:

⚡ The Race to the Bottom — why fast fashion is exploitative by design

⚡ The recycling myth & how clothing waste ends up in the Global South

⚡ Algorithms that keep us consuming when we feel powerless

⚡ Fashion monopolies, union-busting & lost collective bargaining

⚡ How fast fashion erodes unique cultures and ideas

⚡ Greenwashing as a marketing trick

⚡ Why stop buying is the first radical step

As Aja puts it, there are no shortcuts: “We have to quit the high street, unsubscribe from the emails, unfollow the brands.” Our oppression is directly linked to the person who makes our clothes: “And once you see the system, you can’t unsee it.”

We’re told inequality is acceptable — as long as anyone can make it to the top. But what happens when the ladder is broken, and most people never even get on it? How did we end up with an economy that no longer works for ordinary people — yet works perfectly for the wealthy? And when did democracy get hijacked, with left-wing parties serving corporations, instead of the voters who put them in power?

In this episode of The Tea, Dr. Faiza Shaheen, economist and executive director of Tax Justice UK, examines who benefits from an economy in which the wealthiest 1% now hold more wealth than the bottom 90% combined. And why taxing the ultra-rich is now a democratic necessity.

As elites gather in Davos claiming to tackle inequality, Oxfam warns that billionaire wealth is accelerating at record speed. This isn’t a contradiction — it’s the outcome of a system designed to concentrate wealth, protect billionaire power, and turn working people against each other, while wealth is funnelled relentlessly upward.

We discuss:

⚡ Why meritocracy is modern capitalism’s most successful gaslight

⚡ How trickle-down economics funnels wealth upward — every time

⚡ Davos: Why elites refuse to tax themselves

⚡ The myth that “the rich will leave” — and who actually is leaving

⚡ Why we need a “wealth tax”

⚡ Islamophobia and the Labour Party: “They think we are stupid”

⚡ How rising inequality drives more state surveillance

With UK billionaire wealth rising by £35 million a day, executive pay ratios at 386:1, and 22% of the population living in poverty, Faiza argues that change never comes from the top — it comes from collective power refusing to know its place.

The NHS is under threat. Privatisation is creeping in. And some UK politicians want to copy a US-style insurance system that would turn healthcare into a privilege, not a right.

Meanwhile, influencers are selling “biohacks” and wellness products as the solution, pretending health is just a personal choice. And tech billionaires are pouring millions into AI “life extension” research, but for whom? Without addressing systemic issues like poverty, housing, pollution, and social care, no AI can extend our lives.

In this eye-opening episode of The Tea, Dr Amir Khan exposes the truth about what’s really driving health and why the real crisis is political, not personal.

Without solving the systemic issues ,such as political and systemic issues like poverty, housing, pollution, and social care — things a chatbot can’t fix.

We also unpack:

⚡ NHS privatisation is coming — and fast

⚡ Insurance-based healthcare is a two-tier system

⚡ More physician associates won’t fix GP staff shortages

⚡ AI won’t double life expectancy by 2030

⚡ AI therapy is a cheap substitute for real care

⚡ Why doctors standing with Palestine are being silenced

⚡ Your medical records shouldn’t be AI training data

As Dr Khan puts it: “If your priority isn't your community's well-being, if your priorities aren't how well we look after our most vulnerable people, you have your priorities wrong.”

In this urgent episode of The Tea, we welcome author and scholar Narges Bajoghli, an associate professor of Middle East Studies at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, to delve into the underlying causes of the current protests. We will also explore the geopolitical dynamics at play and examine who is trying to exploit these developments for their own purposes. 

Our guest argues that both Israel and the United States have little interest in a sovereign and stable Iran. Instead, they favour chaos, fragmentation, and prolonged internal conflict, which align with their goals for regional military dominance. The patterns observed in conflicts from Syria to Libya are all too familiar, and now Iran is firmly in the crosshairs. 

We discuss how overt signals from Mossad and public claims of having "agents on the ground" escalate state violence, making protesters more vulnerable. This dynamic provides the Iranian government with the perfect justification to frame dissent as foreign-instigated sabotage.

We also unpack:

⚡ Sanctions as collective punishment — crushing populations, enriching elites

⚡ Trump, war pretexts & the explotitation of legitimate grievances

⚡ De-dollarisation & the global pushback to U.S. economic warfare

⚡ Why is the far-right calling for the overthrow of the Iranian regime

⚡ Palestine beyond Iran — why resistance outlasts alliances

⚡ Anti-imperialism at a crossroads — what needs to change in the 21st century

⚡ The revival of the Shah — who is pushing this narrative

Narges argues that “Iranians need to be liberated from their regime, but they also need freedom from sanctions”. “And those of us on the outside can help by demanding an end to this economic strangulation.”

Eva Golinger, lawyer and strategic advisor to former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, exposes how Trump’s audacious removal of Nicolás Maduro was all about ego - granting him power, headlines, and unfettered access to Venezuela’s resources.

Working at the forefront of Latin American anti-imperialism for decades, Gollinger - nicknamed “the bride of Venezuela” by Chavez himself - highlights how in Trump 2.0, it’s all about the optics.

From the violent seizure of Maduro to the installation of a compliant leader under Delcy Rodríguez, Golinger warns this chapter of U.S. interventionism could embolden strongmen everywhere - and rewrite the rules of international law entirely.

⚡ Trump and Venezuela — short-term obsession or long‑term US policy?

⚡ The myth of Maduro’s “narco-terrorism”

⚡ How Maduro’s kidnapping sets a new global precedent

⚡ Who is Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez?

⚡ Oil, gold, and rare earth minerals — Trump’s real objectives

“He has branded his name on everything…that's how he sees the presidency - as a business.”

When politicians use podcasts as free publicity, and “funny jokes” replace accountability, who’s really laughing, and who’s being played?

This week on The Tea, we are joined by stand-up comedian Aamer Rahman to take a hard look at the world of modern comedy and podcasts — and how they influence culture, politics, and public perception.

We unpack why much of today’s comedy, far from being “fearless,” is built on cynicism, engagement-chasing, and the avoidance of accountability. We examine how these dynamics shape audiences’ understanding of power, prejudice, and culture.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

🎭 Comedy as a tool — How comedians give politicians free publicity

🎭 Cynicism over responsibility — Why clicks often replace meaningful comedy

🎭 The illusion of censorship — Who really faces limits on free speech

🎭 Cultural influence — How subtle biases in comedy shape behaviour

🎭 Resistance through humour — How GenZ uses comedy to challenge oppression

Aamer exposes the intersection of entertainment, politics, and power — and challenges us to think critically about the media we consume.

In this urgent and unflinching episode, we challenge the idea that patriarchy primarily targets women. Jameela argues instead that it is a system engineered to subjugate men — for war, dangerous labour, and disposability — while convincing them that domination equals power. The real trick? Convincing men that women are the enemy, so they never see who is truly exploiting them.

And yet, the same system that treats men as expendable turns women into objects to be endlessly edited, infantilised, and erased. 

Women are trained to erase themselves — surgically, financially, and emotionally — to serve predatory desires and impossible ideals. From fashion week to facelifts, the message is clear: disappear, stay small, stay young — or become irrelevant.

We unpack

⚖️ Patriarchy: an extraction system — men as disposable bodies for war and labour

⚖️ Division as strategy — why solidarity between men and women threatens power

⚖️ The beauty industry as erasure — self-mutilation sold as “self-care”

⚖️ Youthification & ageing — why self-knowing older women terrify patriarchy

⚖️ Economic resistance — how withholding money can reclaim power

⚖️ Self-knowledge as threat — when women know themselves, power is exposed

Jameela argues that, while power is slipping from our hands, a narrow window remains to reclaim it — not through placards alone, but through refusal, solidarity, and organised economic withdrawal. 

As she puts it: “Men need to wake up and realise that we are all being screwed by the same system. And you would liberate yourselves by liberating us.”

In this eye-opening episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we are joined by journalist and podcaster James Jackson to dive into Germany’s complex and troubling relationship with Israel, Zionism, and its own historical identity.

From Angela Merkel’s declaration that Israel’s security is Germany’s 'Staatsräson', to the silencing of Palestinian solidarity and dissenting Jewish voices, we unpack the dangerous intersections of history, politics, and power.

We explore:

⚡ Merkel’s 'Staatsräson', — when moral duty becomes state power

⚡ AfD surge — the far-right on the rise

⚡ Silenced voices — Jewish critics of Israel under pressure

⚡ BDS crackdown — civil society under siege

⚡ “Islamo-N*zi” — Manufacturing a new threat

⚡ The rush to remilitarisation

⚡ History weaponised — from the Holocaust to Gaza

The German approach to confronting history was to declare, “We were all guilty as a nation” - a line that conveniently absolves individuals of the blame.

“Ultimately it's a redemption narrative, a guilt pride - so you're proud of how evil your nation was and how you've accepted that.”

In this urgent and deeply challenging episode of The Tea with Myriam François, renowned scholar and author Norman Finkelstein argues that international law, once thought to be a neutral framework for justice, has become a largely toothless tool, vulnerable to political pressure and media spin.

The ICJ ruled

“In the Court’s view, the facts and circumstances mentioned above are sufficient to conclude that at least some of the rights claimed by South Africa and for which it is seeking protection are plausible. This is the case with respect to the right of the Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from acts of genocide and related prohibited acts identified in Article III, and the right of South Africa to seek Israel’s compliance with the latter’s obligations under the Convention.”

Joan Donoghue said on BBC’s Hard Talk

“[...] So the Court decided that the Palestinians had a plausible right to be protected from genocide [...] It didn’t decide that the claim of genocide was plausible. It did emphasise, in the order, that there was a risk of irreparable harm to the Palestinian right to be protected from genocide [...]”

In this new eye opening episode of The Tea, we dive into the deep-rooted issues plaguing society today, with critical theorist and viral creator Louisa Munch.

Louisa comes from Rochdale, a town once symbolising the hope of capitalism, now a casualty of systemic neglect and political manipulation. The far-right’s grip is tightening, but behind their rhetoric lies a simple truth: we’re stuck in a death drive where the past is fetishised and the future seems hopeless.

In this episode, we tackle:

⚠️ The myth of the “rich exodus” — Should we really care if billionaires leave?

⚠️ Neoliberalism’s death rattle — Why the system is dragging us down

⚠️ Wealth hoarding — How the super-rich are inflating costs for the rest of us

⚠️ The grooming gang scandal — The truth behind the headlines

⚠️ Gen Z’s nihilism — How do we fix the hopelessness gripping young people?

⚠️ Hope for the future — Can we rebuild a society that works for everyone?

As Louisa says, “We need to change the conversation from migration to wealth inequality if we’re ever going to change the material reality of people’s lives.”

AI is advancing at a rate we've never seen before. From sex robots and chatbots helping with therapy to AI rapidly transforming industries, we’re already living in an AI-powered world. And in five to ten years, governments could be guided and run by AIs.

But is it really progress? Or is humanity heading for an AI apocalypse?

In this explosive new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, AI pioneer Emad Mostaque, co-founder and former CEO of Stability AI, lays bare the risks, challenges, and potential of this rapidly advancing technology. From the race to create the next "AI God" to the real-world consequences for jobs, the economy, and society, Emad pulls back the curtain on a future that is rapidly approaching — and may soon be unstoppable.

What emerges is a chilling portrait of an era where AI could reshape the global economy, obliterate jobs, disrupt entire industries, and even change the inner fabric of human relationships.

We unpack:

⚠️ AI replacing human workers — How soon is too soon?

⚠️ AI-driven inequality — Will billions be left behind?

⚠️ Labour revolution — Can a global labour movement take on the challenge?

⚠️ AI Ministers — Is Albania’s AI governance a model or a risk?

⚠️ The “revenue evil curve” — Do tech giants still have a moral compass?

⚠️ Environmental apocalypse — Is AI accelerating the collapse?

⚠️ Sex robots and AI chatbox— Will they redefine human relationships?

⚠️ A different future — Why we need a Universal Basic AI

As Emad warns, “This is an opportunity, but also a threat”. And the question is: “Which direction will we choose before it’s too late?”

In this explosive new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, investigative journalist and author Lucia Osborne-Crowley pulls back the curtain on the most powerful, and most protected, criminal network of our time.

What emerges is a portrait not just of individual crimes, but of a world meticulously constructed to shield predators and punish victims and truth-tellers. As Lucia reveals, this was a system that spanned governments, billionaires, banks, tech magnates and international elites.

“This was the largest sex trafficking ring in modern history, and almost no one has faced consequences”.

We unpack:

⚠️ Epstein’s death – why the official story doesn’t add up

⚠️ Mysterious “suicides” – the deaths journalists ignored

⚠️ Power protects power – elites staying untouchable

⚠️ Media & myths – victims blamed and silenced

⚠️ Abuse psychology – the manipulation behind it all

⚠️ Maxwell trial – what the courtroom revealed

⚠️ Survivor stories – trauma, resilience, and humanity

As Lucia puts it: “Power protects power. It always has.” And this case isn’t just about Epstein — it’s about the systems built to shield people far more powerful than him.

Eugenics, once discredited as the pseudoscience of racial purity is back. Rebranded. Tech-fueled. Marketed as progress.

In this urgent new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we’re joined by writer and historian Subhadra Das to unpack how eugenics has crept back into mainstream culture, from right-wing populism to “wellness” culture, and why understanding this ideology is essential to resisting it.

We unpack:

⚠️ Trump, Farage, and the rise of “bad science”

⚠️ Sydney Sweeney’s ad: What’s the real agenda behind her “blue jeans”?

⚠️ The UK two-child cap: economic eugenics in action?

⚠️ Eugenics and Gaza: deadly parallels

⚠️ How COVID changed the eugenics trajectory/discourse

⚠️ Overpopulation vs. underpopulation: what’s really at stake

⚠️ The shocking proposal for an autistic registry in the US

⚠️ Tech bros’ transhumanist dream: eugenics rebranded

⚠️ From Francis Galton to Elon Musk: the dark side of “progress”

⚠️ Real resistance: reclaiming our shared humanity

Eugenics as “science” might have been debunked, but according to Subhadra, eugenics thinking never really went away. As she reminds us: “It’s always about picking out a group of people who are seen to be a problem”.

In this searing episode of The Tea with Myriam Francois, we speak with Ashira Darwish — a Palestinian trauma healer and a survivor of Israeli detention — about what this moment means for our collective nervous system, and how healing itself can be an act of resistance.

In a world where social media algorithms are engineered to keep us numb to genocide — where images of amputated children are livestreamed between cat memes and bikini thirst traps — self-care becomes an act of political warfare.

Ashira explains how liberation psychology begins with understanding where we come from — the lineages we carry, the traumas we inherit, and the ancestral keys we also hold for healing.

Together, we unpack:

🚨 Israel’s torture system in detention

🚨 How algorithms turn genocide into background noise

🚨 Why our nervous systems go numb — by design

🚨 Somatic work: healing intergenerational trauma

🚨 What fuels Israeli society’s capacity for violence

🚨 Liberation psychotherapy: healing as resistance

🚨 Why Western media misreads Palestinian resistance

This episode is about remembering that both trauma and healing are inherited. It’s about choosing not to go numb.

Meanwhile, nearly 40% of Americans now say democracy isn’t worth the fight.

So how did we get here? And where are we heading?

In this gripping new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we’re joined by public historian Tad Stoermer to unpack the rise of authoritarianism in the US — and what resistance looks like when democracy bends and when the machinery of fear is turned inward.

In a world where facts no longer seem to matter, how do we resist when the story we’re told — “us versus them” — is a cover for authoritarianism, and the “law and order” narrative hides the very machinery of control?

We unpack:

⚠️ When tech billionaires start wearing military rank — who’s really in charge?

⚠️ Inside the rise of the far-right Christian nationalists

⚠️ Trump’s “us vs. them” narrative — what makes it so dangerously effective?

⚠️ Trump’s war on education

⚠️ How Christianity became a cornerstone of modern authoritarianism?

⚠️ “Law and order” — or just another name for control?

⚠️ No Kings Day: Proof that democracy still breathes — or its last gasp?

⚠️ What can historical resistance teach us about how to fight back today?

In this searing new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we are joined by author and journalist Fatima Bhutto to connect the dots between power and propaganda — and to explore how we can build resistance.

Representative democracy is crumbling before our eyes, while dissent is being eroded and authoritarianism is on the rise. From the rising political violence to the legacy media’s complicity, and to the betrayal of feminist movements staying silent on Gaza, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

⚠️ What happens when journalism becomes propaganda?

⚠️ Is there still any meaningful difference between left and right?

⚠️ How has the feminist movement betrayed Palestinian women?

⚠️ What is left of representative democracy?

⚠️ What has Palestine become the litmus test for?

⚠️ How can we build a movement of resistance?

This is a sobering, unflinching conversation about empire, complicity, and the urgent need to resist.

From militarised streets in America to the shattered ruins of Gaza, in this episode of The Tea with Myriam François we sit down with Bassam Haddad, founding director of the Middle East and Islamic Studies Program at George Mason University, to explore the collapse of liberal democracy, the rise of authoritarianism, and the deep connections between the escalating repression in the US and the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

We dig into how disinformation, censorship and repression are increasingly being used to silence pro-Palestinian voices, and how both Democratic and Republican leadership have paved the way for today’s repression.

As Israel loses the battle for public opinion, we examine its pivot to paid propaganda and the erosion of its victimhood narrative.

We unpack:

⚠️ How the Democrats “set the table” for today’s repression

⚠️ The role of disinformation, AI, and tech censorship in silencing Palestine advocacy

⚠️ What’s truly at stake in the current ceasefire talks

⚠️ Why Israel is buying support to prop up its collapsing narrative

⚠️ What the "axis of resistance" in the Middle East looks like today

⚠️ What’s happening in Syria

This is a sobering, unflinching conversation about empire, complicity, and the urgent need to resist.

From the obsession with individual experience to the weaponisation of identity politics by right-wing and pro-Israel advocates, this episode of The Tea with Myriam François dives deep into the uncomfortable and urgent truths about identity politics today.

Joining us is Ash Sarkar, author and senior editor at Novara Media, to unpack how the Left has been fractured by a focus on “identity”, and how identity politics has turned into a competition for victimhood – or worse, a tool wielded by those supporting genocide. Meanwhile, working-class solidarity lies in ruins.

What if representation isn't progress — but the illusion of it? From Filipino content moderators to South Asian billionaires, this episode challenges the idea that shared identity means shared interest — and makes the case for a politics rooted in class, not optics.

⚠️ Why has identity politics become a competition for victimhood?

⚠️ Why is anti-racism so often used to silence dissent — especially on Palestine?

⚠️ Who really benefits from diversity in “the C-suite”?

⚠️ Can class-based unity rebuild what identity politics has broken?

⚠️ What are the pitfalls of DEI?

⚠️ Who sets the news agenda — and who benefits from it?

But what does that really mean — when settler violence in the West Bank is at record levels, Gaza is under siege, and Israeli ministers are openly calling for ethnic cleansing?

In this searing episode of 'The Tea with Myriam Francois’, we speak with Palestinian activist Arab Barghouti. Arab is the son of Marwan Barghouti, also known as the “Palestinian Mandela”, who has been in an Israeli prison since 2002.

We expose the contradictions at the heart of Western diplomacy, the obsession with “non-violent” resistance, and the future of the Palestinian leadership — even in the face of an openly genocidal regime.

🚨 Does the Israeli government really care about the hostages?

🚨 Where does the Western obsession with non-violent resistance come from?

🚨 Why does Israel detain so many Palestinians? And what is the role that the Israeli prison system plays within the occupation?

🚨Why has the Palestinian Authority lost its appeal with young Palestinians?

In this eye-opening first episode of The Tea with Myriam Francois, award-winning journalist and historian Taj Ali helps us unpack the shocking connections behind Tommy Robinson - once bankrupt and jailed, now leading massive rallies. Who's funding his rise, and why?

We expose the hidden forces behind Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite The Kingdom’ rally, and the dangerous narratives they’re pushing. We explore how powerful Zionist groups are using Islamophobia as a political weapon, distracting voters, crushing Palestinian solidarity, and pushing a pro-Israel agenda.

🚨 What is the real reason behind Elon Musk’s involvement in British politics?

🚨 How and why has the English flag turned into a symbol of exclusion?

🚨 The mainstreaming of the “Great Replacement Theory”

🚨 The rise of Islamophobia and the double standard in the political discourse

🚨 What does multiculturalism mean in today's Britain?

In this eye-opening episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with multi-award-winning powerhouse Kelechi Okafor and expose the uncomfortable truths the British establishment doesn’t want to confront — from the strategic use of anti-Black propaganda to distract from class warfare, to the growing surveillance state targeting working-class and racialised communities.

From the vilification of Diane Abbott to the state’s embrace of surveillance and Britain’s refusal to reckon with slavery reparations, we connect the dots between racism, authoritarianism, and the illusion of inclusion.

In this episode, we unpack:

🚨 Diane Abbott & the politics of silencing Black women

🚨 Britain’s refusal to pay reparations (and who did get paid)

🚨 Surveillance tech, the “Brit Card” & the creep of fascism

🚨 The class con driving division in the UK

🚨 What it takes to build real resistance & trust

This isn't just about racism. It’s about how the power protects itself — and how we can fight back.

From Palantir’s disturbing reach in global scandals to the growing militarisation of AI and the ethical dilemma of Neuralink, we dive deep into the dangerous intersection of technology, power, and control. We expose the blurring lines between private tech companies and governments, as well as the immense power wielded by unelected billionaires.

We also explore why AI is becoming the defining arms race of our generation. And with chatbots now playing the role of therapists, we ask: Can we trust AI with our most personal information?

In this episode, we unpack:

🛑 Tech Libertarianism: Freedom or Corporate Control?

🛑 The Real Face of Technofascism and Surveillance

🛑 Palantir’s Role in Data Scandals

🛑 AI: The New Arms Race of Our Generation

🛑 Why We Should Be Wary of AI Therapy

This conversation isn’t just about tech—it’s about power, privacy, and who’s pulling the strings in our digital lives.

We also take a deep dive into the war in Sudan — “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis” — and ask: Who’s truly forgotten Sudan? Spoiler: it wasn’t us. We expose the global interests behind the violence — from gold to EU migration deals — and how everyday items like “Gum Arabic (E414)” are fuelling this war economy.

In this episode, we expose:

🛑 Islamophobia in the UK: A Manufactured Threat

🛑 The Rise of White Nationalism

🛑 The Threat of Authoritarianism

🛑 Who Forgot Sudan?

🛑 Gum Arabic, Gold & War Profiteering

🛑 Why Sudan Matters to All of Us

From abused children to erased journalists, this is a brutal exposé on how mainstream media narratives are shaped, sanitised, and sold. We break down how coverage of Gaza and Palestinian lives is distorted — and why "mistake" is the media’s favourite euphemism for mass murder.

We go far beyond headlines to expose:

🛑 The media’s “mistake” machine: how Israel’s atrocities are rebranded as accidents

🛑 How are Gaza journalists exploited by Western outlets?

🛑 What’s behind the media’s blind loyalty to the Israeli narrative?

🛑 The Francesca Albanese Report and the complicity of tech giants

🛑 The collapse of international law

This episode lays bare the dehumanisation of Palestinians — and the imperialist playbook behind the headlines.

This isn’t a conversation just about media bias — it’s about the fight for truth in an age of surveillance, censorship, and soft fascism.

Bassem is a former surgeon who swapped scalpels for satire. Dubbed the “Jon Stewart of the Arab world”, Bassem brings his no-holds-barred analysis to questions that many fear to ask — about complicity, distraction, and how the elite keep uprisings in check.

From the fallout of the Epstein files to the IDF’s social media storms, we ask:

Who’s running the show — and how does humour disrupt their script?

Together, we explore the thin line between laughter and dissent — and whether satire still has teeth in an age of spin.

🛑 Who gets exposed and who gets protected in the Epstein saga?

🛑 What the IDF’s TikTok game tells us

🛑 Is comedy still a weapon against power or part of the circus?

🛑 Why is Superman making Zionists mad?

🛑 Why global uprisings are so easily crushed

🛑 The elite playbook: distraction, division, domination

This isn’t just laughs – because truth rarely sits easily.

In this thought-provoking episode of Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François, we dig deep into one of the most urgent ideas of our time: collective liberation. What does it really mean in a world where dissent is policed and solidarity is splintered?

Joining us is Céline Semaan, Lebanese-Canadian designer, writer, and founder of Slow Factory, whose work fuses climate and social justice, political education, creative resistance and storytelling rooted in ancestral wisdom. From surviving war in Lebanon to challenging fast fashion brands, Céline brings lived experience to the table in a way that few can.

Together, we unpack whether digital platforms can truly foster revolution, what the consequences of elitism are in activist spaces, and how we can imagine a liberation that is truly shared at a time when even the idea of “collective” is up for debate.

🛑 What does collective liberation mean in a digital age?

🛑 The criminalisation of dissent

🛑 Fashion brands and genocide

🛑 Are we building movements — or feeding the algorithm?

🛑 How do we navigate contradictions in activism

🛑 Anti-intellectualism and fascism

This is more than a conversation, it’s a call to action to move from slogans to substance.

Joining the conversation is Jordan Stephens — musician, writer, and one half of Rizzle Kicks — fresh off his first Glasto performance in nine years.

Together, we unpack why Palestine resonates so deeply with festivalgoers, what it means to be an artist in a time of protest and political pressure, and how music remains a powerful tool of resistance.

Jordan, who recently published his memoir Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak, and Dogs, also opens up about mental health, ADHD, heartbreak, as well as the emotional weight of navigating masculinity in a world that often fails young men, especially young Black men.

🛑 Glastonbury 2025 unpacked

🛑 What is the role of artists in politically charged times

🛑 The lineage of pain that underlies being a black man

🛑 Why is so difficult to be a man

🛑 Living with ADHD

This is a conversation about art, identity, and resistance — and what it means to speak your truth when the world would rather you stay silent.

In this powerful episode, Ahmed shares what it means to survive war, censorship, and unimaginable personal loss in Gaza. And makes a direct appeal to the world: “People have the power to stop the siege in Gaza”.

Set against the backdrop of an ongoing genocide — where even seeking food can mean death — the conversation explores the meaning of resistance and what real solidarity requires. From the failures of the aid system to the urgency of global inaction, Ahmed challenges us to go beyond symbolic protest and scale up our action: sustained boycotts and relentless pressure on complicit institutions.

🛑 The death trap of the aid machine in Gaza

🛑 Why Israel is arming ISIS affiliated gangs

🛑 Palestinians have the right to armed resistance

🛑 Why the two-state solution is not an option anymore

🛑 People have the power to stop the genocide

This episode is more than just a discussion. It's a call to conscience. We must do more.

In this explosive episode of The Tea, Dr. Andreas Krieg—defence analyst and expert on Gulf geopolitics—joins Myriam François to pull back the curtain on the UAE and Saudi Arabia’s growing regional empire.

🛑 From gold smuggled out of Sudan to fund militias and fuel genocide

🛑 From AI-powered smart cities in Saudi Arabia to the weaponisation of surveillance

🛑 From influencers selling the Dubai dream to activists rotting in Gulf prisons

🛑 From Gulf-backed Islamophobia campaigns to the global export of censorship

What happens when free speech is criminalised, dissent is silenced, and truth is turned into a weapon?

This is the war they don’t want you to see. This is the power network no one wants to name. Think you know the Middle East? Think again.

From the devastation in Gaza to the discourse in Washington, Maté thoughtfully explores how identity can be instrumentalized, how definitions of antisemitism are being reshaped in politics, and why solidarity with Palestinians is not only compatible with Jewish identity — but essential to its integrity.

 🛑 Zionism vs. Judaism – What happens when a political project lays claim to a religious identity?

🛑 Hasbara 2.0 – Israel’s PR machine and the manufacturing of moral consent.

🛑 Gaza and Genocide – Is the world finally waking up to reality?

🛑 Jewish Identity Under Siege – What happens when dissenting Jews are cast out?

 This episode is a deep dive into the identity politics of empire — and the people refusing to be used by it.

This week on The Tea with Myriam Francois, U.S. veteran and outspoken anti-imperialist Greg Stoker joins us to pull back the curtain on the deadly intersections of military strategy, state violence, and imperial branding—from Gaza’s decimation to Western propaganda operations and privatized warfare.

Forget press releases. This is war without the gloss.

🛑 Gaza’s Ground Offensive – Is this a strategy shift, or state-led ethnic cleansing?

🛑 Private Mercenaries in the Middle East – Who’s paying, who’s fighting, and who’s accountable?

🛑 Project Esther – How redefining antisemitism is weaponized to crush critique.

🛑 The Abraham Accords – Peace deals, or PR for arms trades and surveillance empires?

🛑 Trump and Empire – Not the architect—just the most honest salesman.

🛑 The New Right’s “Pro-Palestinian” Turn – Is Candace Owens standing for justice—or hijacking the cause?

This episode isn’t just about modern warfare—it’s about modernized colonialism, dressed in the language of freedom, peace, and security.

👀 Think you know what war looks like today? Think again.

You’ve seen her start internet wars. Now hear her on The Tea.

In this no-holds-barred conversation, Chidera Eggerue—bestselling author and creator of #SaggyBoobsMatter and #BlockHimParty—joins Myriam Francois to unpack the feminist trends shaking Gen Z.

🛑 Is it actually okay to hate men?

🛑 Why some women are ditching sex—and calling it liberation

🛑 The real reason she says money should come before love

This isn’t feel-good feminism—it’s survival, strategy, and radical honesty.

You’ve seen him on the inside. Now hear him on The Tea.

In this rare, no-holds-barred conversation, Daniel Levy—former Israeli peace negotiator—sits down with Myriam Francois, and nothing is off-limits.

🛑 From inside Israeli power circles to exposing the failures of peace deals

🛑 From his service in the IDF to questioning Zionism itself

🛑 From personal stakes to global complicity in Gaza’s nightmare

This is the conversation he doesn’t have anywhere else—where uncomfortable questions get real answers.

Can peace survive? Does liberal Zionism have a future? And how much blood is on the hands of the world?

👀 If you think you know his story, think again.

For the first time, he opens up about the personal toll of being targeted, suspended, and ultimately forced out of the U.S. for his outspoken support of Palestinian rights. From the attempted arrest and Cornell’s institutional response, to the growing web of AI surveillance and the cost of international solidarity—this conversation peels back the curtain on a terrifying new era of political repression.

He unpacks the uncomfortable double standards in how dissent is policed, draws powerful connections between Black liberation and Palestinian resistance, and reflects on how to hold onto hope—even as he warns that Zionism may be entering its final chapter.

This isn’t just a story about student activism—it’s a warning, a reckoning, and a call to resist.

What if the far-right surge sweeping the globe isn’t a new threat—but the latest phase of a decades-long plot, quietly bankrolled by billionaires, right-wing think tanks, and tech moguls like Elon Musk? Investigative journalist and systems theorist Nafeez Ahmed uncovers the shocking connections between Nazi-era eugenics, corporate greed, and the rise of authoritarianism across Europe and the US.

From the secret history of the Pioneer Fund to the dangerous ideology shaping today’s policies, this episode exposes how racist pseudoscience, radical libertarianism, and corporate propaganda are weaponized to dismantle democracy and fuel hatred—one viral meme at a time.

Is the real threat to democracy hiding in plain sight? And can we break free from the grip of these billionaire-backed networks before it’s too late?

Join Myriam Francois for a no-holds-barred investigation into the dark money, dirty tactics, and dangerous ideologies shaping our world.

What if everything you’ve been told about success, hard work, and freedom was a carefully crafted illusion? In this explosive episode of Tea with Myriam Francois, economist and author Grace Blakeley pulls back the curtain on the biggest lie of our time — capitalism isn’t broken, it’s doing exactly what it was designed to do: funnel wealth and power to the top while leaving the rest of us fighting for scraps.

From the neoliberal con to the rise of the far right, from billionaire propaganda to why we were sold the myth of "freedom through markets," this is the conversation they don’t want you to hear.

If you’ve ever felt like the system is rigged — you’re not imagining it. This is your wake-up call.

Is the world trapped in a dangerous delusion? In this uncompromising conversation, Professor Kehinde Andrews breaks down the “psychosis of whiteness”, exposing how deep-seated myths about race sustain global inequality. From the failures of diversity schemes to the rise of far-right politics, from Trump’s return to power to the new wave of Black radical thought, he argues that true change won’t come from within the system—it demands revolution.

What does Black liberation look like in a world still shaped by empire? Can Pan-Africanism offer a real path forward? And is China a counterforce to Western dominance—or just another empire in disguise?

Join Myriam Francois for a fearless discussion that connects race, politics, and global power in ways few dare to.

🔹 Owen Jones’ Explosive BBC Report – His 9000-word investigative piece exposed the systemic pro-Israel bias within the BBC, revealing how headlines were manipulated, Palestinian deaths were downplayed, and Israeli narratives were prioritized—sparking internal backlash and a media firestorm

🔹Gaza & the Media’s Moral Collapse – Why do war crimes in Ukraine get full coverage, while Palestinian lives are erased from the headlines? The shocking double standards in Western reporting​.

The role of the ICC and media complicity in covering up these crimes​

Known for his evocative films One Day in Gaza and Gaza: Daring to Dream, and his award-winning Channel 4 report Inside the Gaza Siege, Yousef opens up about the emotional toll of documenting the genocide of his own people, what life is really like in Gaza, and the shocking realities global media often fails to cover.

In this gripping and emotional episode, we dive into:

👉 The heartbreaking realities of life under siege in Gaza, where 90% of the population has been displaced.

👉 The emotional weight of making films about the genocide of your own people.

👉 The truth behind the Saudi normalization deals and the price Palestinians are paying.

👉 Harrowing stories of Gaza’s orphans and displaced families struggling to survive.

👉 Why more than 190 Palestinian journalists have been killed—and what the world isn’t saying.

👉 The disconnect between the reality on the ground and what we see on our screens.

👉 Busting the biggest myths and misconceptions about Palestine and Israel.

Yousef doesn’t shy away from addressing hard truths, including the mental toll of witnessing endless violence, the courage of those still reporting under fire, and the hypocrisy of international narratives that ignore Palestinian suffering.

This episode is not just a discussion—it’s a call to wake up to the reality of Gaza, the voices silenced, and the stories untold.

🌍 As we close the season, we reflect not just on Gaza, but on the ongoing struggles for justice and dignity around the world. From Palestine to Congo, Sudan to Syria, we stand with all those fighting for freedom and peace.
