About

This week on SUNDAY WIRE, Bryan ‘Hesher’ McClain sits in for host Patrick Henningsen as the geopolitical struggle shifts toward the world’s critical choke points.

We’ll also look at the expanding infrastructure and drone war in Ukraine, along with the growing push for alternative payment systems and financial sovereignty as nations seek to reduce their exposure to sanctions and Western-controlled financial networks.Later in the Overdrive segment, Hesher is joined by Adam ‘Ruckus’ Clark and Basil Valentine to examine financial warfare, BRICS, digital censorship and the wider battle over who controls the strategic, economic and informational gateways of the modern world.
