Vijay Prashad and Zulfiqar Ali on Transition Protocol: Iran has put a 15-year freeze on its nuclear file — the concession Washington spent six months demanding — and sources inside the negotiation say Donald Trump will not take it, because accepting it would not make him the winner. Prashad reads what Oman’s Foreign Ministry has published about a temporary corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, why the nuclear file is now dormant, and a month-by-month map of how this war ends before the November 4 midterms.
They also cover the Oman–Iran corridor talks and Article 5 of the Islamabad Memorandum; UN Law of the Sea rules on the Strait of Hormuz; a tolls and surveillance regime under discussion; Pakistan’s shuttle diplomacy; why Israel has been shut out of the Iran file; and the scenario that blows it up — a sudden Israeli strike.

Professor Robert Pape joins Clayton Morris on Redacted on Trump's Operation Economic Outcast against Iran.
The Trump administration, through Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, has launched 'Operation Economic Outcast,' an economic campaign against Iran described as an 'economic D-Day.'
The goal is to sever Iran's global financial connections.
Pape, of the University of Chicago, argues this strategy is an 'escalation trap' that historically leads to more military conflict, not less. Citing past sanctions on Germany in WWI, Japan before Pearl Harbor, and Iraq in the 1990s, he explains that such measures harden regimes and provoke retaliation.
Roy Stemman, former editor of Psychic News, talks with Jeffrey Mishlove about Bishop James Pike, medium Ena Twigg, and the British spiritualist movement.
Stemman is author of Spirits and Spirit Worlds, Reincarnation: True Stories of Past Lives, Spirit Communication, One Soul Many Lives, Mysteries of the Universe, Healers and Healing, Medium Rare: The Psychic Life of Ena Twigg, and (with George Chapman) Surgeon From Another World.
Here he describes the relationship between the British spiritualist movement and the Anglican Church, beginning with a report commissioned by the Church in the 1930s.
In 1967, the Episcopal Bishop of California, James Pike, publicly reported on his communications with his deceased son through the mediumship of Ena Twigg in London. Pike gave up his position as Bishop to pursue other studies, including after-death communication.
Later, in a dramatic event, he became lost in the desert in Israel. After his death, but before his body was discovered, he appeared in spirit to Ena Twigg.

The late Hal Stone, PhD, is author of Embracing Heaven and Earth and co-author, with his wife Dr. Sidra Winkelman, of Embracing Our Selves and Embracing Each Other. He and Dr. Winkelman are developers of the "Voice Dialogue" psychotherapeutic process.
Here he describes how he discovered the "Voice Dialogue" method of contacting his own sub-personalities. The process, as it has evolved, includes elements of gestalt therapy, psychosynthesis, psychodrama, transactional analysis and Jungian analysis.
Dr. Stone describes various sub-personalities such as the "protector-controller," the "pusher" and the "critic." The Voice Dialogue technique is demonstrated with Jeffrey Mishlove and Dr. Stone each taking a turn as therapeutic subject.
