Updated 2024-08-20: Today we learn that Richard Medhurst was arrested for saying things the government doesn’t like. An update has been added.
A recent software update has left my ability to audio edit podcasts rather degraded. Apologies for the reduction in quality (more aaah’s and um’s).

Ongoing report on Donetsk and Kursk
[No Friday “Intel Roundup” and not scheduled shows for the week, normally by now including a discussion with Alastair Crooke. Napolitano has published an initial description.]

Update
Richard Medhurst was arrested by UK border police at Heathrow airport and detained for 24 hours. He was released "unconditionally" even though he was apparently charged under Section 12 of the "Terrorism Act".
He joins other British journalists harassed by the UK authorities for their speech, including former Ambassador Craig Murray.
Repression of unwelcome speech continues on both sides of the "special relationship" across the Atlantic ocean.

WHY ISN'T JUDGE BROADCASTING ON YOUTUBE ?, Judge Andrew Napolitano, JudgeNap.com, 2024-08-17
“YouTube did not provide a detailed explanation” … “Despite the lack of clarity from YouTube regarding the specific violation, it’s evident that the subject matter of our conversation was deemed too controversial or sensitive for the platform.”. — i.e no specific criticism, just “we dont like some folks’ speech”.
