Paul Chek is a holistic health practitioner, wellness coach, corrective exercise specialist and educator. His journey began when he served on the US Army boxing team. He is the author of How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy. He is the creator of the Spirit Gym and host of the Spirit Gym with Paul Chek podcast.
Paul explores Jesus' teaching to "resist not evil," examining how trauma, consciousness, forgiveness, and spiritual maturity shape our response to conflict rather than retaliation. Drawing on his experience as a therapist, holistic health educator, former Army boxing trainer, and founder of Spirit Gym, Chek argues that true strength comes through healing wounded parts of ourselves instead of becoming what we oppose. Chek touches on psychology, Jung, Rudolf Steiner, nonviolent resistance, forgiveness, mythology, and practical spiritual development as pathways toward greater wisdom.

Professor John Mearsheimer argues that the lessons of the Gulf crisis will not necessarily translate to East Asia because countries such as Japan and South Korea still see the United States as their indispensable security partner.
But Dr. Warwick Powell argues that the reality may be more complicated.
If Iran can strike U.S. bases and expose weaknesses in America's ability to protect its regional military infrastructure, America's allies may eventually begin preparing for a future in which Washington cannot provide the same level of security it once did.
Japan is already undergoing a major military transformation. But what is driving it?

n this breaking-news episode, Zulfiqar Ali and Pepe Escobar break down MBS's second phone call blocking a revamped US strike on Iran, the UAE's stunning gold-and-cash outreach to Tehran, Pakistan and China's central role as mediators, and Iran's readiness — including a reported 2,000-boat swarm fleet — to defend the Strait of Hormuz if diplomacy fails.
Pepe Escobar is a veteran geopolitical analyst and journalist covering Eurasia, BRICS, and multipolar world affairs for over two decades; Zulfiqar Ali hosts Transition Protocol, a source-driven geopolitical and economic analysis show reaching audiences in fourteen languages. This is analysis and source-based reporting — claims marked DEVELOPING or UNVERIFIED are clearly flagged throughout.
Journalist Whitney Webb discusses her book, 'One Nation Under Blackmail,' which investigates Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to intelligence agencies and organized crime.
Webb explains that former US Attorney Alex Acosta was reportedly told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and was 'above his pay grade.' The book argues that Epstein's activities were not limited to sex trafficking but also included financial crimes and arms trafficking, often in concert with powerful institutions.
Here he discusses a variety of plants that are used for both medicinal and entheogenic purposes – including dandelions, mescal, psilocybin mushrooms, cannabis, coca, and ayahuasca. He points out that the use of these substances throughout the world goes back far in history. They emerged from cultures that believed in animistic spiritual forces. Modern, industrial cultures tend to abuse these medicines.
