SOTT Focus: Behind the Headlines: 'World War Syria' - Controlled chaos, or out-of-control chaos?

This week on Behind the Headlines, Joe and Niall were joined by Truth Perspective host Harrison Koehli to discuss the extremely tense situation in Syria, where Turkey and Russia are waging a barely veiled 'proxy' war over Syria's future. What are we looking at here: a cold war turned hot? Is a world war on the cards?

Seasoned geopolitical analyst William Engdahl, in his recent article for New Eastern Outlook, 'Washington's Machiavellian Game in Syria', reckons the 'reality-creators across the pond' have manipulated both Russia and the main players in the Middle East into a fatal trap: regional conflagration in order to 're-shape the Middle East'.

But with contradictory statements being made by US leaders, and apparently contradictory actions being taken by the different players on the 'grand chessboard', couldn't it be said that it's all coming apart at the seams for the Western imperialists? Or is the chaos in the Middle East, and elsewhere, all unfolding according to 'the grand plan'?

SOTT Focus: The Truth Perspective: What does it mean to have an Aim?

Sott Talk Radio logo

This week on the Truth Perspective, talked about aims. What does it mean to have an aim? Do you have one? What goes into the task of formulating an aim? Sometimes we think we have an aim, but we don't. Sometimes our aims are vague or simply the product of everyday habits and social norms. But a clear, overarching aim in life can be something different.

SOTT Focus: The Health & Wellness Show: Water: What Do We Really Know?

Sott Talk Radio logo
Water: it makes up the majority of our planet and our own bodies, filling everything from the earth and skies to our own cells. Yet what is actually known about this mysterious substance, so vital to life? It may surprise us to find that, despite its prevalence in our lives, scientists admit that there is still a great deal to learn about water. Does water have a "memory"? Are there really only three phases of water (liquid, solid and vapour) or is there a "fourth phase of water?" Does water create energy? When we speak to water, does it listen? Is there a structure to water?

All of these topics and more will be explored today on the SOTT Radio Network's Health and Wellness Show. Join us every Friday at 10am EST as we expose the lies and emphasize the truth about health in our modern world. With us, as always, will be resident animal health expert Zoya with her weekly Pet Health segment.

SOTT Focus: Behind the Headlines: Objectivity in a subjective world - Truth versus Lies

Sott Talk Radio logo
This week on Behind the Headlines, Joe, Niall, Harrison and Bahar will be discussing the role of morality in politics (or rather, the lack of it), and will continue a discussion begun on the Truth Perspective show: the value of objectivity in a world gone mad.

What is truth and why is it important? What does it mean to 'be objective'? If people's beliefs about the world shape their individual experiences, and ultimately co-create the world they share with others, then a world saturated with lies, (apparently) harmless myths and dangerous narratives leads people to create a world in which they (and most others) are hopelessly miserable.

Is there a solution to this profound problem? What if people changed their beliefs? Would this create a happier, more stable world, at least for those who changed? But on what basis should people change their beliefs? And why bother if the only apparent change in the external world is that it keeps getting worse?

Join us this Sunday February 14th from 12-2pm EST / 6-8pm CET / 5-7pm UTC as we get to the heart of the matter at the eleventh hour for modern civilization.

SOTT Focus: The Truth Perspective: Being objective in a subjective world

This week, we'll be picking up where we left off last week, with a discussion on objectivity. What does it mean to be objective? Is it possible, and if so, is it desirable? In what ways do we fail to be objective, and what can we do to become more objective? Join us for a broad-ranging discussion on a topic many would ignore, or abuse for their own purposes.

SOTT Focus: The Health & Wellness Show: The Zika Virus: Hype vs. Reality

Sott Talk Radio logo
Zika! Ebola! Swine Flu! We're constantly bombarded with new and even more scary viral threats to public health in the media. But how legitimate are these threats? And how complicit is the media in fearmongering? Today on the Health and Wellness show we'll cover these topics and more. How does this process of hype happen, what could it be covering up, if anything, and who are the real victims here? We'll also discuss other threats to public health that are not as discussed as these "viral" stories.

Joining us as always will be Zoya with the Pet Health segment. Be sure to tune into the Health and Wellness show on the SOTT Radio Network every Friday at 10am EST US. Thanks for listening!

SOTT Focus: Behind the Headlines: US Election Farce, Social Disintegration and Economic Armageddon: Happy Days!

Sott Talk Radio logo
With statements like "I beat China all the time!" and "I could shoot someone and not lose voters!" potential future US Prsident Donald Trump epitomises all that is great about America, if by the word 'great' you mean 'mindnumbingly idiotic'. The good news, however, is that most of the other potential POTUS' are an equally horrible lot, so at least there's some consistency. If it is true that the people of a country get the leaders they deserve, then what does the line-up for the next "commander in chief" say about American society?

But Americans shouldn't feel too bad, Europe (and much of the rest of the world) is in equally dire straits, both at the political and social level. Someone appears to have decided that it's a good idea to try and tear the fabric of European society apart by flooding the union with desperate and angry refugees, along with a smattering of jihadi terrorists, thereby inflaming racial, religious and ethnic tensions.

Meanwhile, there are growing signs that that strangely self-aware animal known as the 'global economy' is in very poor health, and may even be planning to throw itself off a fiscal cliff in the near future, dragging us all down with it.

A perfect storm of mindless inanity and fecklessness at the global leadership level, hysterial and xenophobia at the social level, and unfettered greed at the economic level, seems set to blow up in all of our faces. Time to sit back and watch the show?

Join your regular hosts Niall Bradley and Joe Quinn, and our special guests Elan Martin and Bahar Azizi, for a discussion of the madness that passes for normal life on planet earth at the end of Empire. This Sunday 7th February: 12-2pm EST 6-8pm CET.

The light of inspiration is all around us and may be found and used to fuel us forward in powerful ways. How and where do we find this inspiration, and having done so, how do we share it with others so that its light grows further? Join us as we discuss these themes and as we view them in the context of recent major news.

SOTT Focus: The Health & Wellness Show: Depression and the Insanity of the World

Sott Talk Radio logo
Corruption, war, human suffering, disease - there's seemingly no end to the level of insanity and evil that prevades the world around us. It's unsurprising that many who are paying attention will succumb to feelings of depression, anxiety and an intense lonliness.

What's the right perspective to hold on the insanity that surrounds us? How can we continue to function when the world seems bent on descending into chaos? Are we really alone in our unceasing efforts to pay attention to reality, left and right? Is there anything left to be hopeful for?

All these subjects and more will be explored today, as we look into how to stay sane in a world gone mad. With us, as always, will be resident animal health expert Zoya, with her weekly Pet Health Segment. Join us Fridays at 10am EST for the SOTT Radio Network's Health and Wellness Show.
