I looked deep into Yemen’s Khat addiction, and the scale of devastation is insane.
Data shows Yemeni citizens spend HALF of their total income on Khat.
Khat also uses 40% of their total water supply for no nutritional value while lack of water and starvation is extremely prevalent in Yemen.
Starvation in Yemen is beyond alarming. Over 18 million people, just over half of the country's population face acute hunger.
There is an estimated 50,000+ child deaths annually in Yemen from extreme hunger and secondary infections.
About 130-144 children die per day of starvation in Yemen.
The estimate for adults is 20-50 per day, so for some reason they allow children to bare the brunt of death by starvation while tending to Khat crop production and chewing addiction.
Why would there be no humanitarian aid to stop that? Because of The Jihadist militants that also own The Khat business in Yemen.
International aid funding to Yemen dropped due to The Houthis complete operational theft. They also launched a massive crackdown on humanitarian workers, carrying out abductions and detaining United Nations and NGO employees for ransom.
The Houthis essentially have a monopoly on the Khat business in Yemen.
Because they control the vast majority of Yemen's mountain ranges, where the country's khat is cultivated, the crop falls directly under Houthi territorial administration, the militant group has successfully monopolized the trade. They profit heavily from the national addiction of Khat by enforcing fees at militia checkpoint fees and taxation.
Cultivating khat requires an immense amount of water and the Houthis have seized all key water tables across western and northern Yemen, the Houthis effectively function as landlords to the farming networks. Farmers are dependent on the group for access to the fuel required to run irrigation pumps, allowing Houthi leadership to control the entire industry.
Yemen used to be the number one exporter of Coffee in the world and they ripped out almost every single Coffee farm for to produce Khat. Estimates indicate that up to 80% of Yemen's arable land was systematically converted to cultivate Khat. Khat uses four times the amounts of water that coffee does. Yemen is in severe drought conditions and the country is locked in a catastrophic environmental crisis driven by lack of rivers, rainfall and their addiction to Khat.
Khat is now so deeply embedded in Yemeni culture, so much so that it transcends the frontlines of the ongoing conflict. The trade is so vital that opposing military forces in Yemen often observe an unwritten daily ceasefire between noon to 4:00 PM allowing both sides to break combat, safely distribute the shipments, and gather to chew the leaf.
So to wrap this up, Jihadist Terrorists, that Hasan Piker says are awesome (The Houthis) were stealing all the international aid and holding it hostage to finance terror operations while continuing to be the main drivers behind Yemens Khat industry and addiction. All while hundreds of thousands of Yemenis continue to die of starvation.
I would like to say there is a change coming, but almost the entire population seem too focused on chewing Khat to do anything about it.
It might seem surprising to you that a climate change protest would be focused on promoting terrorists until you realize such protests never really had anything to do with climate change.
Climate change, anti-Israel, BLM, wealth gap etc. It’s all the same thing to this group. It’s all about destruction of western society and re-allocation of power to the radical left.
The underlying issue is just the excuse they are citing to justify the proposed power shift.
@DGisSERIOUS He was never invited back on because he acted like a whiny annoying twat with a superiority complex. “Haave you beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeren therrrrrre?!”
Look at all the mugshots. There is no reason for this animal to still be alive. It's completely insane that we don't just execute chronically violent barbarians who do nothing with their lives except inflict suffering on innocent people.
WOAH 🚨 Secretary of State Marco Rubio CONFIRMS they have evidence that the mass protesters that come out for different protests like Anti-ICE, pro-Hamas and even the 2020 protests ARE ALL THE SAME PROTEST GROUPS
“There's nothing organic about it. It is funded, it is organized.” They just remake signs for each different protest
“They were the same people you saw on the streets burning things in 2020. They then flip it around and they become the pro-Hamas protesters, then they flip it around and within 48 hours of Maduro's arrest have pre-printed signs outside the courthouse demanding his release. Then they're out there doing the ICE stuff, attacking ICE agents.
There's nothing organic about it. It is funded, it is organized, and Cuba is a part of that network, and in some cases, a critical part of that network, and it's a network they will weaponize against us. And they talk about it openly, about how they will use that network to pressure American policymakers, not just here in the United States like Code Pink, but all over the world”
Here are just a few of the groups involved in the mass protest network. It’s so much bigger and organized than people realize
All of them should be arrested for intentionally setting up mass protests:
- Code Pink (CODEPINK)
- The People’s Forum
- National Network on Cuba
- ANSWER Coalition
- BreakThrough News
- Tricontinental Institute (Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research)
- National Lawyers Guild
- Pastors for Peace / IFCO
- Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)
- Black Alliance for Peace
- ICAP (Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples)
- Venceremos Brigade (historical)
- Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)
- Workers World Party
- Freedom Road Socialist Organization
You should recognize a lot of these names because everything we have mass protests they are always filming and posting to platforms like Facebook
Now you know why they’re filming and posting. They’re literally paying for the protests and organizing them
Every single individual who has entered the West illegally should be deported. Every person who has entered legally and who is loyal to an ideology that is antithetical to the West’s foundational values should also be deported. This is a battle for the soul of humanity. Wake up. Grow a pair.
Given the DSA and persisting craziness/evil of the Democratic Party, Republicans should reliably turn out to vote this November in the midterms as though Satan himself is on the ballot, because that's kinda what's happening here.
I’m not scared. I think you guys will fail because your ideas are stupid and very, very, old and will fail wherever put into practice. Price controls are older than Christianity, for instance. Your Mao schtick is moronic and takes advantage of your fans’ ignorance. I think you’re a cosplaying radical kid of privilege and apologist for murderers and terrorists. But you’re not scary dude. You’re a poseur. I think it’s hilarious you streamed my comments to your easily duped fans.
I truly believe there is a safe space and love for EVERYBODY. Biological girls, biological boys, trans women, and trans men. Everyone is welcome at my table! You can disagree and still be kind.
Bravo to those girls for standing up for what they believe. You’ll be hearing from me soon💕 yay for gifts.
Truly embarrassing of the co-owner. Unfortunately shows the type of leader she is.
I’m sorry we’re not the #1 podcast on YouTube like Rogan, but if you’re willing settle for #3 - your invite to Austin to be on Financial Audit still stands!
(His team said no 😩)
@RonDeSantis and @GregAbbott_TX you’re invited as well.
Hi Letitia,
I am a meteorologist. Maybe I can be of some help here.
The wildfire smoke we have seen recently blanketing the skies across the central / eastern U.S. came from Canada. I attached an animation below on the left for your viewing pleasure.
Suing the Trump EPA is not going to stop forest fires any more than President Trump threatening to levy tariffs on Canada will stop them. In your case, the fires aren't our nation's problem, and in Trump's case, over 50% of fires in Canada are caused by lightning and because the majority of Canada's boreal forests are in remote locations that are difficult to access, proper forest management isn't easily feasible.
As for exceedingly high temperatures, what you are describing there is, well, summer. This your first year on Earth, lady? Summers are hot. They always have been. They always will be. And, in the case of unusual heat, the average number of heatwave events per year—defined as three or more consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures ≥90th percentile relative to 1991−2020 climatology (TX90p)—have decreased by 20.2% since the beginning of the 20th century (1994−2025 average minus 1901−30).
I am interested in scientific facts, not fairytales, and your frivolous suit should be dismissed in court no sooner than it is brought forward.

It’s important to remember that all of these accounts trashing VP @JDVance for appearing on @joerogan’s podcast opposed President Trump in the 2024 primary.
Clowns.
"I was Never Trump until we went to war with Iran. Now I get to dictate what MAGA is and we all hate JD Vance for not following dead Mike Pence talking points."
The fact that this works on anyone is insane
We literally know American online influencers are being paid to attack Vance to further the Iran War
I’ve been warning about these neocon proxies
The op was brewing for a while but it’s in the open now
Today, @JDVance showed why he is the ONE and ONLY 2028 Republican hopeful who can win the Midwest and by extension, the presidency.
This delulu nonsense from the lobby is going to tear the GOP apart.
They ARE grossly unpopular nationally and even more so in the antiwar Midwest.
