Tara Reade

Olga and Tara are joined by Nelson Wong, Vice Chairman and President at the Shanghai Centre for RimPac Strategic and International Studies. We’ll discuss the detention of American human rights lawyer Dan Kovalik in the UK, explore the strategic consequences of the Iran war, Trump's comments on communism, technological competition and whether fear — not strength — is driving today’s geopolitical decisions. Was Brzezinski’s 'worst nightmare' destined to become reality? Did the strategic partnership between China, Russia and Iran emerge despite Western expectations — or because of them? And why does Nelson Wong argue that China spent more than a decade preparing for today's tariff and trade confrontation with the United States? How vulnerable is China to instability in the Strait of Hormuz? What role does Iranian oil play in China's long-term strategy, and why does Nelson Wong believe Beijing has already prepared for worst-case scenarios? Can a superpower exist without seeking military dominance? What does China's leadership believe a global power should look like, and why does Wong reject the idea that every country wants to follow the American model? 🔔 East Meets West is where we explore the most current world events — with top guests from both East and West

Tara Reade weighs in on the scandal surrounding Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner: ‘My analysis, and I could be wrong, is that he is the WRONG kind of Democrat’ ‘The elites have chosen someone else — and they are GETTING RID of him’ ‘There is a pattern in how sexual assault scandals and other scandals are WEAPONIZED to get rid of UNSAVORY candidates who won’t toe the line’ WATCH FULL & FOLLOW TARA ON TELEGRAM

Olga and Tara welcome Mario Bozic, Serbian journalist and anchor of Mario ZNA — to break down the political turbulence shaking Europe. Is Larry the Cat the only permanent fixture left in Downing Street? We dismantle Keir Starmer’s resignation and the domestic crises pushing the UK to the brink. Is the "Zelensky Curse" a proven pattern for Western leaders who prioritize foreign warmongering over their own citizens? How long can European establishments blame their economic and migration failures on a manufactured external threat? What is driving the growing rift between Ukraine and some of its strongest supporters, including Poland? Are we witnessing the beginning of a broader realignment inside Europe — and the world? Finally, why could a ceasefire in Ukraine now mean an even bigger war in 2030 in Europe? 🔔 East Meets West is where we explore the most current world events — with top guests from both East and West

I have a few thoughts about Candace Owens and her interview with Hunter Biden

Discussing war games and the lack of exit strategy imregarding Iran

So wonderful to discuss all this with Leah at the Leahfiles

Olga and Tara sit down with independent investigator Leah (The Leah Files shows) — former intelligence professional with a 20-year background across agencies like the NSA and DIA. Is the new Iran peace deal a masterclass in diplomacy, or is it just performative politics designed to distract the public from institutional corruption? Why is the Department of Energy quietly handing over weapons-grade plutonium to private AI companies, and what does this mean for global nuclear non-proliferation? Furthermore, how are quiet legislative maneuvers effectively merging US and Israeli military intelligence networks beyond the control of the president? Finally, is Trump genuinely shifting strategies, or is the administration acting under the weight of deep blackmail? We follow the money past the public assassinations, corporate shell games, and hidden elite dynamics to expose what the mainstream narrative is desperate to bury. 🔔 East Meets West is where we explore the most current world events — with top guests from both East and West

I was not invited to SPIEF. This is what I said 2 years ago. https://x.com/readealexandra/status/2061830298287903207?s=46

Olga and Tara are joined live from Beirut by journalist and educator Marwa Osman — as Lebanon faces an escalating Israeli ground invasion, mass displacement, and the imminent threat of an all-out regional war. Marwa shares her firsthand account of surviving the strikes, including the destruction of her own home in South Lebanon. Why is the West turning a blind eye to the displacement of over 1.5 million Lebanese citizens? We also break down a thousand-page US defense bill aiming to legally merge the American military with the IDF — forcing Western taxpayers to fund high-tech warfare overseas while domestic infrastructure crumbles. Finally, we expose the dangerous parallel of Western tech being deployed in drone strikes on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. Is Kiev using the threat of a nuclear catastrophe to blackmail European leaders? 🔔 East Meets West is where we explore the most current world events — by speaking with experts who witness them from the inside

Olga and Tara talk to film producer and host of the Extra Dimensional show Reuben Langdon — to untangle the current wave of UFO congressional hearings in the US. We dive deep into the recent release of UAP files and ask the critical question: why have top scientists connected to alternative energy and anti-gravity research been disappearing since the Roswell crash? Is the government using a "slow-release" disclosure strategy to prevent mass panic, or is the military-industrial complex protecting the ultimate global asset — reverse-engineered technology? What happens if the technologies hidden behind these programs could change energy, warfare, and global power forever? We also look at how modern warfare has shifted away from traditional country-versus-country conflicts into a sophisticated system of psychological operations, media control, and energy dependency designed to maintain the status quo. 🔔 Join us as we explore world events from every angle — featuring top guests from East and West

If you think that Moscow and life there is so special as compared to the rest of Russia — WATCH Olga say hi from Krasnogorsk

Olga and Tara welcome legendary Viktor Bout — for a conversation on AI warfare, Palantir, NATO, Ukraine, and the future of global power. Are AI-driven warfare and “techno fascism” becoming the defining threat of our era? What are the dangers of allowing AI to make life-and-death decisions on the battlefield? How did Ukraine become a testing ground of future wars? We examine a wide range of topics — from autonomous targeting systems and digital surveillance to the fight for technological sovereignty. We also explore Victory Day, Germany’s historical memory, Africa’s shifting alliances, and the growing role of tech companies in modern conflict. 🔔 Join us as we explore world events from every angle — featuring top guests from East and West

In our Victory Day episode, Olga and Tara sit down with journalist and political analyst Caleb Maupin. Why is the history of the 20th century being rewritten in real-time, and who benefits from the confusion? We discuss the Soviet Union's role in defeating fascism, diving deep into the uncomfortable truths the West often ignores. How are these historical distortions used to fuel today’s conflicts in Ukraine and beyond? From the rise of the "New Left" to the influence of the CIA on modern social movements, Maupin breaks down how the "deep state" uses historical amnesia as a tool for geopolitical control. 🔔 Join us as we explore world events from every angle — featuring top guests from East and West

In Episode 12, Olga and Tara are joined by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson. Is the “Project Freedom” actually a legal loophole to bypass the War Powers Act? We dive deep into the tactical realities of the Strait of Hormuz, exploring why a conventional naval victory against Iran may be a military impossibility. We also challenge the narrative on the recent security breach involving Donald Trump: was this event a genuine threat or a meticulously orchestrated political narrative? From Iran's “Lego” videos to the CIA increasingly relying on foreign intelligence and from the “hollowing out” of Ukraine to the utility of NATO as a “jobs program” — we analyze the cracks in the current geopolitical order. 🔔 Join us as we explore world events from every angle — featuring top guests from East and West
