The Tea with Myriam Francois

• "German police are punching Jewish protesters"

  Germany has built its new identity on turning its back on its past, but at what cost? Today, the far-right is topping the polls, police violence is soaring, and free speech is increasingly restricted.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 GazaThe 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.” 👉 Subscribe for fearless, independent conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #JamesJackson #Germany #Israel #Zionism #Gaza #AfD #EUPolitics #MiddleEastPolitics #BDS #Genocide #Holocaust #AngelaMerkel #FriedrichMerz #AliceWeidel #Facism AUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: James JacksonSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.AUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Emad MostaqueSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.

• Gaza, Impunity & the collapse of Law

  “How international law has become the new weapon in the battle for public opinion”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. #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #NormanFinkelstein #Gaza #InternationalLaw #ICJ #UNRWA #UN #HumanRights #MiddleEastPolitics #USForeignPolicy #Hamas #Israel #Netanyahu #Trump2025AUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Norman FinkelsteinSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.👉 Subscribe for fearless, independent conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.Check out Love Welcomes, a social enterprise creating dignified, fairly paid work for refugee women rebuilding their lives.

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 [...]” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

• "The super rich are blood clots to the body"

  From working-class communities abandoned, neglected, and exploited, to the super-rich hoarding wealth and power, to the rise of racist, exclusionary politics - we’re trapped in a cycle of destruction. 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.” #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #LouisaMunch2 #NigelFarage #WealthInequality #Neoliberalism #Capitalism #GenZ #Nihilism #TaxTheRich #HopeForTheFuture #ReformUK #UKPolitics #Budget2025 #Budget #RachelReeves #Rochdal #GroomingGangScandal #EatTheRich👉 Subscribe for fearless, independent conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.AUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Louisa MunchSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.Check out Love Welcomes, a social enterprise creating dignified, fairly paid work for refugee women rebuilding their lives. 👉 Explore their mission and products here: https://www.lovewelcomes.org/?ref=MIRIAMFRANCOIS🎥 Click to watch.

• AI will end Capitalism

  "Billionaires are building bunkers because they're afraid AI might take over everything." 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 AIAs Emad warns, “This is an opportunity, but also a threat”. And the question is: “Which direction will we choose before it’s too late?”👉 Subscribe for fearless, independent conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #AI #StabilityAI #ArtificialIntelligence #TechCrisis #Economics #JobDisplacement #Capitalism #AIThreat #ChatGPT #OpenAI #ElonMusk #SamAltman #AGIAUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Emad MostaqueSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.

• “I was threatened, intimidated and hacked” EPSTEIN EXPOSED!

  From hacked phones and midnight intimidation attempts in Palm Beach to the string of mysterious deaths connected to the case. From victims fighting to reclaim their stories to a system that still protects the powerful, from the White House to Silicon Valley, this episode is one of the most disturbing and revealing we’ve ever done.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 humanityAs 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.👉 Subscribe for fearless, independent conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@UCT4kJCZyg26egbPAuJVj2kA 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #EpsteinCase #SexTrafficking #PowerProtectsPower #InvestigativeJournalism #SurvivorVoices #GhislaineMaxwell #JeffreyEpstein #MediaAccountability #USPolitics #TrumpAUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Lucia Osborne-CrowleySenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.🎥 Click to watch.
