The Tea with Myriam Francois
Power and Resistance in a gaslit nation

“If you want fascism to rise, you have to convince white working-class people that their suffering isn’t caused by the elite who strip them of resources — it’s because Black and brown people are here. Muslims are here. Don’t you know?”


In this eye-opening episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with multi-award-winning powerhouse Kelechi Okafor and expose the uncomfortable truths the British establishment doesn’t want to confront — from the strategic use of anti-Black propaganda to distract from class warfare, to the growing surveillance state targeting working-class and racialised communities.


From the vilification of Diane Abbott to the state’s embrace of surveillance and Britain’s refusal to reckon with slavery reparations, we connect the dots between racism, authoritarianism, and the illusion of inclusion.

In this episode, we unpack:


🚹 Diane Abbott & the politics of silencing Black women

🚹 Britain’s refusal to pay reparations (and who did get paid)

🚹 Surveillance tech, the “Brit Card” & the creep of fascism

🚹 The class con driving division in the UK

🚹 What it takes to build real resistance & trust


This isn't just about racism. It’s about how the power protects itself — and how we can fight back.

The Tea with Myriam Francois
What happens when tech companies hold more power than governments?

In this eye-opening episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with AI expert Dr. Jaya Klara Brekke, a pioneering voice at the crossroads of technology and justice, to expose the hidden world of AI, surveillance, and data monopolies.


From Palantir’s disturbing reach in global scandals to the growing militarisation of AI and the ethical dilemma of Neuralink, we dive deep into the dangerous intersection of technology, power, and control. We expose the blurring lines between private tech companies and governments, as well as the immense power wielded by unelected billionaires.


We also explore why AI is becoming the defining arms race of our generation. And with chatbots now playing the role of therapists, we ask: Can we trust AI with our most personal information?

In this episode, we unpack:


🛑 Tech Libertarianism: Freedom or Corporate Control?

🛑 The Real Face of Technofascism and Surveillance

🛑 Palantir’s Role in Data Scandals

🛑 AI: The New Arms Race of Our Generation

🛑 Why We Should Be Wary of AI Therapy


This conversation isn’t just about tech—it’s about power, privacy, and who’s pulling the strings in our digital lives.

The Tea with Myriam Francois
Why is anti-Muslim hate on the rise, and who’s cashing in?

In this hard-hitting episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with Sudanese Australian, award-winning writer Yassmin Abdel-Magied to tackle the intersection of identity politics, the surge of white nationalism, and the skyrocketing Islamophobia sweeping the UK. From record hate crimes to a complicit government and media, we uncover the dangerous forces at play.


We also take a deep dive into the war in Sudan — “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis” — and ask: Who’s truly forgotten Sudan? Spoiler: it wasn’t us. We expose the global interests behind the violence — from gold to EU migration deals — and how everyday items like “Gum Arabic (E414)” are fuelling this war economy.


In this episode, we expose:


🛑 Islamophobia in the UK: A Manufactured Threat

🛑 The Rise of White Nationalism

🛑 The Threat of Authoritarianism

🛑 Who Forgot Sudan?

🛑 Gum Arabic, Gold & War Profiteering

🛑 Why Sudan Matters to All of Us


This episode isn’t just about policy — it’s about power, propaganda, and who gets left behind.

The Tea with Myriam Francois
Genocide for sale & the death of mainstream media!

In this unflinching episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin to confront the media’s complicity in power — and the price of telling the truth.


From abused children to erased journalists, this is a brutal exposĂ© on how mainstream media narratives are shaped, sanitised, and sold. We break down how coverage of Gaza and Palestinian lives is distorted — and why "mistake" is the media’s favourite euphemism for mass murder.


We go far beyond headlines to expose:


🛑 The media’s “mistake” machine: how Israel’s atrocities are rebranded as accidents

🛑 How are Gaza journalists exploited by Western outlets?

🛑 What’s behind the media’s blind loyalty to the Israeli narrative?

🛑 The Francesca Albanese Report and the complicity of tech giants

🛑 The collapse of international law


This episode lays bare the dehumanisation of Palestinians — and the imperialist playbook behind the headlines.

This isn’t a conversation just about media bias — it’s about the fight for truth in an age of surveillance, censorship, and soft fascism.

The Tea with Myriam Francois
The World is a Joke!

In this razor-sharp episode of Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François, we sit down with comedian and political fire-starter Bassem Youssef to unpack the surreal state of power and resistance.


Bassem is a former surgeon who swapped scalpels for satire. Dubbed the “Jon Stewart of the Arab world”, Bassem brings his no-holds-barred analysis to questions that many fear to ask — about complicity, distraction, and how the elite keep uprisings in check.


From the fallout of the Epstein files to the IDF’s social media storms, we ask:


Who’s running the show — and how does humour disrupt their script?


Together, we explore the thin line between laughter and dissent — and whether satire still has teeth in an age of spin.


🛑 Who gets exposed and who gets protected in the Epstein saga?

🛑 What the IDF’s TikTok game tells us

🛑 Is comedy still a weapon against power or part of the circus?

🛑 Why is Superman making Zionists mad?

🛑 Why global uprisings are so easily crushed

🛑 The elite playbook: distraction, division, domination


This isn’t just laughs – because truth rarely sits easily.

Climate, Colonization & Gaza: The Hidden Link

Go to https://ground.news/thetea for a better way to stay informed. Subscribe for 40% off unlimited access to world-wide coverage through my link.


In this thought-provoking episode of Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François, we dig deep into one of the most urgent ideas of our time: collective liberation. What does it really mean in a world where dissent is policed and solidarity is splintered?


Joining us is Céline Semaan, Lebanese-Canadian designer, writer, and founder of Slow Factory, whose work fuses climate and social justice, political education, creative resistance and storytelling rooted in ancestral wisdom. From surviving war in Lebanon to challenging fast fashion brands, Céline brings lived experience to the table in a way that few can.


Together, we unpack whether digital platforms can truly foster revolution, what the consequences of elitism are in activist spaces, and how we can imagine a liberation that is truly shared at a time when even the idea of “collective” is up for debate.


🛑 What does collective liberation mean in a digital age?

🛑 The criminalisation of dissent

🛑 Fashion brands and genocide

🛑 Are we building movements — or feeding the algorithm?

🛑 How do we navigate contradictions in activism

🛑 Anti-intellectualism and fascism


This is more than a conversation, it’s a call to action to move from slogans to substance.

The Tea with Myriam Francois
Glastonbury, Vulnerability, and Violence

Glastonbury 2025 made headlines for more than just the music — and in this unfiltered second episode of Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François, we dive into the political firestorm that shook the festival to its core.

Joining the conversation is Jordan Stephens — musician, writer, and one half of Rizzle Kicks — fresh off his first Glasto performance in nine years.

Together, we unpack why Palestine resonates so deeply with festivalgoers, what it means to be an artist in a time of protest and political pressure, and how music remains a powerful tool of resistance.

Jordan, who recently published his memoir Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak, and Dogs, also opens up about mental health, ADHD, heartbreak, as well as the emotional weight of navigating masculinity in a world that often fails young men, especially young Black men.

🛑 Glastonbury 2025 unpacked

🛑 What is the role of artists in politically charged times

🛑 The lineage of pain that underlies being a black man

🛑 Why is so difficult to be a man

🛑 Living with ADHD

This is a conversation about art, identity, and resistance — and what it means to speak your truth when the world would rather you stay silent.

The Tea with Myriam Francois
“People Have the Power to Stop the Siege”

Season 4 of The Tea with Myriam François launches today with a heart-wrenching conversation featuring Palestinian writer Ahmed Alnaouq, co-editor of We Are Not Numbers, a groundbreaking anthology of personal stories from young Palestinians.


In this powerful episode, Ahmed shares what it means to survive war, censorship, and unimaginable personal loss in Gaza. And makes a direct appeal to the world: “People have the power to stop the siege in Gaza”.

Set against the backdrop of an ongoing genocide — where even seeking food can mean death — the conversation explores the meaning of resistance and what real solidarity requires. From the failures of the aid system to the urgency of global inaction, Ahmed challenges us to go beyond symbolic protest and scale up our action: sustained boycotts and relentless pressure on complicit institutions.

🛑 The death trap of the aid machine in Gaza

🛑 Why Israel is arming ISIS affiliated gangs

🛑 Palestinians have the right to armed resistance

🛑 Why the two-state solution is not an option anymore

🛑 People have the power to stop the genocide

This episode is more than just a discussion. It's a call to conscience. We must do more.

Gold, AI Surveillance & Gulf Power in the Shadows

You’ve heard about Dubai’s glittering skyline—but what’s buried beneath it?


In this explosive episode of The Tea, Dr. Andreas Krieg—defence analyst and expert on Gulf geopolitics—joins Myriam François to pull back the curtain on the UAE and Saudi Arabia’s growing regional empire.


🛑 From gold smuggled out of Sudan to fund militias and fuel genocide

🛑 From AI-powered smart cities in Saudi Arabia to the weaponisation of surveillance

🛑 From influencers selling the Dubai dream to activists rotting in Gulf prisons

🛑 From Gulf-backed Islamophobia campaigns to the global export of censorship


What happens when free speech is criminalised, dissent is silenced, and truth is turned into a weapon?


This is the war they don’t want you to see. This is the power network no one wants to name. Think you know the Middle East? Think again.

The Tea with Myriam Francois
"Everything I Was Taught
 Was a Lie"

This week on The Tea with Myriam Francois, journalist and critic of U.S. foreign policy Aaron MatĂ© joins us for a deep dive into Palestine, ‘Jewishness,’ and the media narratives around them. As a Jewish voice opposing Israel’s violence, he’s been dismissed and sidelined — but he’s not backing down.


From the devastation in Gaza to the discourse in Washington, MatĂ© thoughtfully explores how identity can be instrumentalized, how definitions of antisemitism are being reshaped in politics, and why solidarity with Palestinians is not only compatible with Jewish identity — but essential to its integrity.

 đŸ›‘ Zionism vs. Judaism – What happens when a political project lays claim to a religious identity?

🛑 Hasbara 2.0 – Israel’s PR machine and the manufacturing of moral consent.

🛑 Gaza and Genocide – Is the world finally waking up to reality?

🛑 Jewish Identity Under Siege – What happens when dissenting Jews are cast out?

 This episode is a deep dive into the identity politics of empire — and the people refusing to be used by it.

The Tea with Myriam Francois
Inside the Machinery of Modern War

He’s lived it. Now he’s naming it.


This week on The Tea with Myriam Francois, U.S. veteran and outspoken anti-imperialist Greg Stoker joins us to pull back the curtain on the deadly intersections of military strategy, state violence, and imperial branding—from Gaza’s decimation to Western propaganda operations and privatized warfare.

Forget press releases. This is war without the gloss.

🛑 Gaza’s Ground Offensive – Is this a strategy shift, or state-led ethnic cleansing?

🛑 Private Mercenaries in the Middle East – Who’s paying, who’s fighting, and who’s accountable?

🛑 Project Esther – How redefining antisemitism is weaponized to crush critique.

🛑 The Abraham Accords – Peace deals, or PR for arms trades and surveillance empires?

🛑 Trump and Empire – Not the architect—just the most honest salesman.

🛑 The New Right’s “Pro-Palestinian” Turn – Is Candace Owens standing for justice—or hijacking the cause?

This episode isn’t just about modern warfare—it’s about modernized colonialism, dressed in the language of freedom, peace, and security.

👀 Think you know what war looks like today? Think again.

Do Men Owe Women Reparations?

đŸŽ™ïž Chidera Eggerue UNFILTERED: Rewriting the Rules on Sex, Power & Love?


You’ve seen her start internet wars. Now hear her on The Tea.


In this no-holds-barred conversation, Chidera Eggerue—bestselling author and creator of #SaggyBoobsMatter and #BlockHimParty—joins Myriam Francois to unpack the feminist trends shaking Gen Z.


🛑 Is it actually okay to hate men?

🛑 Why some women are ditching sex—and calling it liberation

🛑 The real reason she says money should come before love

This isn’t feel-good feminism—it’s survival, strategy, and radical honesty.

The Authoritarian Playbook: Modi, Netanyahu & The Far-Right

What links Modi, Netanyahu, and the global far-right? In this explosive episode of The Tea, Pankaj Mishra joins Myriam Francois to break down how today’s strongmen admire Israel—not in spite of its violence, but because of it.


🛑 Zionism and Hindu nationalism—mirror ideologies?

🛑 Why far-right parties with Nazi roots love Israel

🛑 How the colonised become colonisers

🛑 Kashmir, Gaza & how the media keeps getting it wrong


This is sharp, unapologetic political analysis with global stakes.

The Tea with Myriam Francois
Can We Really Decolonise the System from Within?

Are universities ready to lead real change, or are they still upholding the same structures of dominance? Is “decolonising” from within a path to genuine transformation, or just a new label for old hierarchies? With Trump in the White House and the genocide in Gaza ongoing, will this be the moment that exposes the limits of Western morality?


How do we build real community and care for each other in a system that values profit over people, leaving the most vulnerable on the margins? What does solidarity look like when the system thrives on division?


Join Myriam Francois and decolonial scholar Hasanain Jaffer for a bold conversation on what it really takes to challenge the power of the imperial core from inside its own institutions.

From IDF Soldier to Peace Dissident

đŸŽ™ïž Daniel Levy UNFILTERED: Ex-Israeli Negotiator Faces the Hard Questions on Gaza, Zionism & Peace

You’ve seen him on the inside. Now hear him on The Tea.


In this rare, no-holds-barred conversation, Daniel Levy—former Israeli peace negotiator—sits down with Myriam Francois, and nothing is off-limits.


🛑 From inside Israeli power circles to exposing the failures of peace deals

🛑 From his service in the IDF to questioning Zionism itself

🛑 From personal stakes to global complicity in Gaza’s nightmare

This is the conversation he doesn’t have anywhere else—where uncomfortable questions get real answers.


Can peace survive? Does liberal Zionism have a future? And how much blood is on the hands of the world?

Can AI Save the Planet or Is It Making Things Worse?

🌍 Is AI Really Going to Save the Planet – or Destroy It? | This weeks The Tea is with Joycelyn Longdon â˜•đŸ’„

Environmental justice researcher and powerhouse Joycelyn Longdon joins Myriam Francois to uncover the truth behind AI's eco-credentials — and whether Silicon Valley's savior complex is just another form of colonialism in disguise.


Can AI be reclaimed for real climate justice? Or is it just a shiny distraction while the planet burns? Buckle up — this one’s deep. đŸ”„đŸŒ±đŸ€–

The Tea with Myriam Francois
This Is What Happens When You Protest a Genocide in the U.S!

In his most revealing and intimate interview yet, British-Gambian scholar and activist Momodou Taal joins The Tea with Myriam Francois from an undisclosed location—for his own safety via a video recording.


For the first time, he opens up about the personal toll of being targeted, suspended, and ultimately forced out of the U.S. for his outspoken support of Palestinian rights. From the attempted arrest and Cornell’s institutional response, to the growing web of AI surveillance and the cost of international solidarity—this conversation peels back the curtain on a terrifying new era of political repression.

He unpacks the uncomfortable double standards in how dissent is policed, draws powerful connections between Black liberation and Palestinian resistance, and reflects on how to hold onto hope—even as he warns that Zionism may be entering its final chapter.

This isn’t just a story about student activism—it’s a warning, a reckoning, and a call to resist.

Nazis Never Left — They Just Rebranded. Here’s How They Took Over Mainstream Politics

The Billionaire-Funded Fascist Machine & the Global Assault on Democracy | Nafeez Ahmed on The Tea with Myriam Francois

What if the far-right surge sweeping the globe isn’t a new threat—but the latest phase of a decades-long plot, quietly bankrolled by billionaires, right-wing think tanks, and tech moguls like Elon Musk? Investigative journalist and systems theorist Nafeez Ahmed uncovers the shocking connections between Nazi-era eugenics, corporate greed, and the rise of authoritarianism across Europe and the US.


From the secret history of the Pioneer Fund to the dangerous ideology shaping today’s policies, this episode exposes how racist pseudoscience, radical libertarianism, and corporate propaganda are weaponized to dismantle democracy and fuel hatred—one viral meme at a time.


Is the real threat to democracy hiding in plain sight? And can we break free from the grip of these billionaire-backed networks before it’s too late?

Join Myriam Francois for a no-holds-barred investigation into the dark money, dirty tactics, and dangerous ideologies shaping our world.
