🎙️ EP#287 | DSD | The Political Power Struggle & Mahmoud Khalil's Case:

In this episode of Deep Shallow Dive, we reflect on Libya and Gaddafi, questioning historical narratives and the media’s role in shaping public perception. The host critiques both U.S. political parties, highlighting the influence of the "uniparty" and special interest groups.

The host argues that regardless of party affiliation, civil liberties must be defended.

The episode closes with a call to critical thinking, urging listeners to remain skeptical of media narratives.
