SUNDAY WIRE EP 608 — Erasing The Evidence

SUNDAY WIRE EP 608 — Erasing The Evidence

Author: Patrick Henningsen August 16, 2026 Duration: 2:42:01
This week the SUNDAY WIRE broadcasts on Alternate Current Radio, with guest host Bryan “Hesher” McClain, joined by Adam “Ruckus” Clark and Basil Valentine to unpack another turbulent week in international affairs. We begin with the extraordinary saga surrounding the USS Abraham Lincoln, as reports of deteriorating conditions and collapsing morale aboard the long-deployed American aircraft carrier raise new questions about Washington’s increasingly overstretched war machine and its open-ended confrontation with Iran.

From there we turn to Israel’s continuing operations across the region, including disturbing reports from southern Lebanon where firefighters and residents accuse Israeli forces of deliberately setting fire to woodlands, olive groves and agricultural land. Meanwhile, Israeli settler violence against Palestinians continues in plain sight, as the physical and human landscape of the occupied territories is steadily transformed.

In Gaza, another urgent question is emerging: what happens to future accountability when the crime scene itself is disappearing? As physical evidence, witnesses and records vanish beneath the destruction, the prospect of establishing a complete historical and forensic record becomes increasingly difficult.

Finally, we look at Britain’s refusal to release government files concerning allegations of Israeli-linked election interference, raising still more questions about foreign influence, transparency and the remarkable latitude afforded to certain Western allies.

Patrick Henningsen also joins the program live from 'the free Republic of LIberland while attending the Liberpulco Conference.

All this and more on this week’s edition of the SUNDAY WIRE.
