Mel K & Joaquin Flores | How Unions Lost Their Way: The Misguided Monoliths of Organizing | 8-23-25

In this powerful episode of The Mel K Show, I welcome back geopolitical analyst Joaquin Flores, a man with decades of experience studying the intricacies of international banking, unions, and global power structures. Joining us from Belgrade, Joaquin brings a unique perspective on current events and explains why what we are witnessing today is truly historic. We begin by looking at the recent meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Joaquin explains why this summit was far more than a symbolic handshake. Despite the noise from mainstream media, which seemed united in hoping for its failure, the meeting demonstrated diplomacy in action. From red carpets to protocol, the outrage from pundits only revealed how disconnected many are from the realities of international relations. Joaquin reminds us that diplomacy is not about childish theatrics. It is about respect, etiquette, and strategy. From there, our discussion dives deeper into what the summit signals for the future of global order. Joaquin highlights the convergence of interests between major powers and how this challenges the dominance of entrenched elites who thrive on perpetual conflict. He emphasizes that cooperation does not erase differences, but it does open doors for negotiation, stability, and opportunities that benefit ordinary citizens. We also examine the bigger picture of how unions, central banks, and corporate institutions intersect with international politics. Joaquin brings clarity to the way financial power shapes policy, explaining why the same establishment voices that push endless wars are also deeply tied to the debt-based economic system that enslaves nations. Understanding these connections is critical to seeing the full truth about where we are headed. Our conversation further explores the cultural decline that has left many unable to grasp the basics of diplomacy or governance. Joaquin points out how generations raised on shallow narratives and media manipulation are now shaping public discourse with little understanding of history, strategy, or responsibility. This, he argues, is part of the reason why so many people misinterpret important world events. Here is what you will learn in this episode: Why the Trump-Putin summit was a historic moment with lasting consequences How diplomacy and protocol are misunderstood by media and political elites The role of international banking and unions in shaping world events Why cooperation among great powers threatens the entrenched global elite How cultural and intellectual decline has weakened the public’s ability to understand world affairs This conversation with Joaquin Flores is a reminder that the headlines rarely tell the real story. To understand the world stage, we must look beyond the surface and examine the systems of power, the strategies of nations, and the interests of those who profit from chaos. Joaquin’s insights cut through the noise and provide the kind of clarity that every informed citizen needs. At a time when fear and division are pushed daily, this discussion offers perspective, context, and hope that a different path is possible if we are willing to demand accountability and recognize the deeper truths at play.
