Matt Campbell: His 9/11 Inquest Is Now at the UK Supreme Court
04/02/2026 | 1h 11 mins.
Send us Fan Mail Matt Campbell's brother Jeff died in the North Tower on September 11th 2001. The official inquest spent two minutes on his life and death. No investigation into cause of death. No evidence examined. The coroner signed off the wrong year of death on the paperwork. When Matt submitted a 2,500 page application to the UK Attorney General requesting a new inquest the answer was no. Twice. The reason — the Attorney General claimed the decision was immune to judicial review entirely. In this episode of The Middle Ground Mic Matt Campbell walks through the complete legal timeline. What an inquest actually is and why it matters. What the 2,500 pages of evidence contained including sworn statements from first responders, expert testimony from physicists and chemists, and video evidence never placed before the original coroner. Why the High Court lost in June 2024 but wrote a ruling so favorable it opened the door directly to the Supreme Court. How a leapfrog certificate fast tracked the case past the Court of Appeal entirely. And why the UK Supreme Court agreed to hear it with a hearing now scheduled for October 14th and 15th 2025 — described by Matt's senior barrister as the largest constitutional case on the UK Supreme Court docket this year. The constitutional question at the center — whether the Attorney General is above judicial review — is the same legal shield used to block the David Kelly inquest in 2003. It is a mechanism any government can use against any family. That is why the Supreme Court agreed to hear it. And that is why this conversation matters regardless of what you believe happened on September 11th 2001. No Left. No Right. Forward. New episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

$8 Gas Coming? Iran Crisis, Strait of Hormuz Oil Shock, and the Real Middle Ground | Middle Monday
03/09/2026 | 20 mins.
Send us Fan Mail Is $8 gas actually coming? Oil markets are surging as tensions escalate around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow waterway controlling nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply. With Brent crude climbing and shipping disruptions increasing, the risk of an oil shock is suddenly back in the global conversation. In this Middle Monday episode of The MiddleGround Mic, Joseph Steagall breaks down the rising oil crisis, how Iran’s leadership turmoil could impact global energy markets, and why the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most dangerous economic chokepoints on the planet. But this conversation goes deeper than energy prices. Why are extremists on both sides attacking anyone who refuses to blindly pick a team? Why does the middle ground trigger so much backlash in modern political debate? And why is Senator John Fetterman suddenly becoming a key figure in the conversation about how America should approach the Iran crisis? This episode explores the oil shock scenarios, the geopolitical risks surrounding Iran, and the reality that the loudest political voices often mirror each other more than they admit. Topics covered: Iran crisis and oil market instability Strait of Hormuz and global oil supply risks Oil shock scenarios and gas price predictions The middle ground perspective in politics John Fetterman and the Iran debate Confronting political extremism Building real long-term energy solutions Is $8 gas actually coming… or is the panic overblown?
