Welcome to the Drive Time Newsglass. 30 minutes, 45 for patrons,

jam-packed with news of the day.

From a perspective of truth, liberty, and justice,

this is Monica Perez.

And I'm Brad Binkley. Our top story.

Protests rock Lebanon and Belarus.

And I'll tell you what I think is really going on in both places.

I always find foreign policy is a little bit of a tricky thing to get people

to really engage in but I feel like with the Lebanon thing it's important and with the Belarus thing I think it has something to do with us.

So let me just I'll try to make it as as a quick as possible

Just hit the highlights.

With Lebanon, they had this big explosion in the port.

They immediately wondered if it was an attack or terrorism or whatever.

My conclusion after reading some of the facts,

some of the back story some of the backstory about Lebanon was that this was basically the equivalence of arson, burning down your own business when it's not doing well. They were having debt problems, etc. But not like the people doing it, the powers that be doing it. And I was kind of triggered by this because the IMF, they were defaulting on a loan. Then my suspicions were supported when the UK, Israel and France all kind of said,

the kind of themes that are coming out of there from the media and the politicians is this is a great time for a reset a political and economic reset and that's just a ram manual thing where never let a good crisis go to waste, but for me the Rama Manual 2.0 or the Edward

Bernays thing is if you don't have the crisis you need created.

That's kind of the category I think this isn't. Now to exacerbate

this the grain storage silo was in that area was destroyed so now they're down

to like a month supply of food they have

protests in the street already they already were now they're gonna have food

shortages Beirut is the entire area the biggest grain storage facility in Lebanon was destroyed.
