The Persecuted Afrikaners
#1 - The Byliefeldt Story
On Sunday morning Delia Human and her fiancé, Barend Byliefeldt, left their farm outside White River to go grocery shopping at Checkers in town. They had their dog with them.
“When we were approaching White River, a group of vehicles started overtaking on double solid lines, nearly pushing us off the road. At this point Barend told me to take his phone and start recording as they were driving extremely recklessly.
“When we approached the Casterbridge circle, we were basically surrounded by these suspect vehicles. The one, a black Range Rover with no licence plates, suddenly stopped in front of us, blocking our entry into the clear traffic circle. The driver of the black Range Rover brought his car to a complete standstill in front of us, got out of his vehicle, pulled out his firearm, and walked towards the driver’s side of our vehicle.
“Barend told me to get down as he was concerned the man would shoot, when another man swung a large, concrete divider at the drivers’ side window, smashing it instantly. Barend reversed, smashing into the vehicle that was blocking our rear and then went off-road, over the barriers to get out from behind the black Range Rover. At this point the driver of the Range Rover went around the front of his vehicle and had his firearm pointed at us the entire time. In order to avoid him, Barend reversed away from him, smashing into his vehicle as well. We went over the traffic barriers to get away from them and started driving towards White River Police Station."[...]

The Druze Conundrum in Syria
The Druze conundrum in Syria represents one of the most complex minority survival dilemmas in the modern Middle East, where a historically resilient community faces unprecedented existential threats in the aftermath of decades of civil war and political upheaval. This multi-faceted crisis encompasses survival strategies, political positioning, and the fundamental challenge of maintaining community cohesion while navigating between competing powers and ideologies.
This podcast highlights the fundamental tensions in contemporary Syria between sectarian identity and national citizenship, between local autonomy and central authority, and between survival pragmatism and political principle - all playing out against the backdrop of regional power competition and the legacy of decades of authoritarian rule and civil war.
Brotherhood & Power - Unveiling Qatar's strategy
Qatar has executed one of the most sophisticated and extensive foreign influence campaigns in modern history, systematically penetrating American and European institutions through unprecedented financial investments totaling nearly $100 billion globally. This small Gulf monarchy, leveraging its vast natural gas wealth, has transformed itself from a regional backwater into a global power broker capable of shaping Western policy through strategic investments in politics, media, academia, and business.
Beyond Boundaries distils a sprawling money-and-politics saga into a narrative the broader public can grasp—and act on. By marrying investigative depth with sharp, mission-driven rhetoric (“moral-hazard diplomacy,” “geopolitical venture capital”), the podcast reframes Qatar’s lobbying from a niche ethics concern into a frontline test of Western institutional resilience.
