Sean McMeekin argues FDR announced unconditional surrender at Casablanca to appease Stalin, highlighting the Allied cover-up of the Katyn Massacre where Stalin used his own crime to break relations with the Polish government-in-exile and consolidate control.2943 TEHRAN

It's episode 330! You know those times when you can't decide what's better, or why, or even what your preference is regarding something, but you have lots to say about it anyway because you really care, but you really aren't sure what would be the right path or direction to take because, though you know what you want, you can't really put a finger on it? Ya, same with us this week. Love ya! (Path of Exile came out with their 3.27 Phrecia this week. We have our private league.

Host: Cindy Allen Show: Simply Trade – Cindy's Version Published: January 30, 2026 Length: ~13 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Exile: Is the U.S. Being Traded Around? In this week's Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen, CEO of TradeForce Multiplier, unpacks one of the busiest weeks we've seen in international trade—and frames it all through the lens of Taylor Swift's song “Exile.” From fresh tariff threats to shifting alliances and possible government shutdowns, Cindy explains why it's starting to feel like the United States is watching global trade move on without us.​ What You'll Learn in This Episode: New U.S. tariff threats tied to Cuban oil Announcement of tariffs on countries that sell or buy oil from Cuba and why this may largely hit usual suspects like Venezuela and Russia.​ Trade partners going “around” the U.S. How the UK's outreach to China and Canada's new deal with China signal a trend of countries pursuing their own economic interests directly with Beijing.​ Canada under pressure—again Trump's 100% tariff threat on Canadian goods over the China deal and the newer threat to decertify Canadian-made jets until Gulfstream aircraft are certified in Canada—and why both moves raise legal and practical questions.​ Shifting tariff landscapes Guatemala and El Salvador trade deals and expected rate ranges. Possible hike back to 25% on South Korean goods if their trade deal isn't approved. Potential rollback of the 25% tariff on India tied to Russian oil purchases.​ 232 duties and a big valuation court fight Why CBP centers are informally pushing an “all-in” cost model (materials, labor, manufacturing) for steel, aluminum, and now copper derivatives—and how that conflicts with the 232 declaration language. The new Court of International Trade case challenging that interpretation and what it could mean for importers paying 232 on components. Why many companies are considering filing protests now to preserve their rights pending the outcome—and why you need to talk to your own counsel.​ ACE refunds are coming—ready or not Electronic refunds are set to go live February 6. What importers need to do with their brokers and 4811 setup, and why brokers must confirm their own information is on file in ACE. The big question: what happens to refunds if the setup is incomplete?​ EU deal on pause Why the EU is putting its U.S. deal “on hold” and how that could trigger a return to higher tariffs if the U.S. responds like it has with South Korea.​ Hill updates: express couriers and DHS funding A new bill proposal for simplified declarations on express shipments under 600 dollars, and what it could mean if you use or compete with express couriers. The looming DHS/CBP funding issue, the likelihood of a shutdown, and what a shutdown typically means for cargo processing versus outreach and meetings.​ Why “Exile”? Cindy connects the week's news to “Exile,” focusing on the line, “You were my town, now I'm in exile seeing you out.” She explores how U.S. policy is driven by a belief that the country has been taken advantage of and needs to re-shore manufacturing and secure critical sectors, while much of the world sees it as a pullback from free trade and trade facilitation that once underpinned global stability.​ By contrasting these two perspectives—like the two voices in the song—Cindy argues the U.S. risks finding itself “in exile” as trade partners build new frameworks around us, and warns that we've “seen this film before” in history with outcomes that weren't ideal.​ Key Takeaways: Expect more volatility in tariffs and trade relationships as the U.S. pushes assertive trade tools and partners seek alternative paths.​ Importers dealing with 232 duties on steel, aluminum, and copper inputs should closely watch the new court case and coordinate with counsel on protest strategy.​ ACE electronic refunds are an opportunity and a risk—data and 4811 setups must be right to avoid missing money you're owed.​ Even in a shutdown, cargo should keep moving, but engagement with CBP and DHS will be limited.​ Strategically, the U.S. may be drifting into a kind of trade “exile”—and it's critical for companies to understand both the domestic narrative and how the rest of the world is reacting. --------  Presented by: Global Training Center​ Listen & Subscribe Simply Trade main page: https://simplytrade.podbean.com​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-trade/id1640329690​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09m199JO6fuNumbcrHTkGq​ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8de7d7fa-38e0-41b2-bad3-b8a3c5dc4cda/simply-trade​ Connect with Simply Trade Podcast page: https://www.globaltrainingcenter.com/simply-trade-podcast​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/simply-trade-podcast​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyTradePod​ Join the Trade Geeks Community Trade Geeks (by Global Training Center): https://globaltrainingcenter.com/trade-geeks/ ​

As the English Civil War ground on and the tides began to turn against the Royalist forces, Charles II decamped to Europe for his own safety. His mother was in Paris, but he also spent a lot of time in The Hague, where his sister Mary was the wife of William II, Prince of Orange. Charles, then still just the Prince of Wales, met a Welsh lass there named Lucy Walter. Lucy had skipped out on the UK to get away from her parents, whose ugly divorce had risen to high scandal, and was hoping to find her fortune - via a husband or lover - in the English Court-in-exile. In May of 1648, Lucy met Charles, and a relatively brief romance transpired, but one that produced Prince Charles's first child. Happily, Charles eagerly acknowledged his son, who would go on to become the Duke of Monmouth. Less happily, agents of English dictator Oliver Cromwell kidnapped the boy for 10 days, and years later, long after the romance was over, his own father would successfully kidnap him to hide him from Cromwell and other dangers. Sadly, Lucy died some time in 1658, and never saw her old flame on the English throne, or her son as a Duke. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

Political Undesirables: Citizenship, Denaturalization, and Reclamation in Iraq (Stanford UP, 2025) considers the legal making and unmaking of citizenship in Iraq, focusing on the mass denaturalization and deportation of Iraqi Jews in 1950–51 and Iraqis of Iranian origin in the early 1980s. Since the formation of the modern state of Iraq under British rule in 1921, practices of denaturalization and expulsion of citizens have been mobilized by ruling elites to curb political opposition. Iraqi politicians, under both monarchical and republican rule, routinely employed the rhetoric of threats to national security, treason, and foreignness to uproot citizens they deemed politically undesirable. Using archival documents, ethnographic research, and literary and autobiographical works, Zainab Saleh shows how citizenship laws can serve as a mechanism to discipline the population. As she argues, these laws enforce commitment to the state's political order and normative values, and eliminate dissenting citizens through charges of betrayal of the homeland. Citizenship in Iraq, thus, has functioned as a privilege closely linked to loyalty to the state, rather than as a right enjoyed unconditionally. With the rise of nativism, right-wing nationalism, and authoritarianism all over the world, this book offers a timely examination of how citizenship can become a tool to silence opposition and produce precarity through denaturalization. Zainab Saleh is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College. She is the author of Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia (Stanford, 2020).

After our midpoint break, we jump back into the second half of Psalms! In this episode, we reflect on key insights from the first half of our Psalms study, revisiting important details such as historical context, authorship, and major themes.The Psalms remind us that God holds a long-term, big-picture perspective over our lives. We'll step back to look at an overview of the Old Testament to provide deeper understanding of the Psalms, with a special focus on the period of Exile—an often overlooked but crucial moment in the biblical storyline.Scriptures: Psalms 73-89Exodus 34:6

Non può certo essere una facile convivenza quella tra una repubblica popolare guidata da un partito comunista e un regime teocratico guidato dagli Ayatollah. Una contraddizione in termini che si riflette anche oggi, con un Iran dilaniato dalle proteste e da una feroce repressione. E una Cina che sembra guardare con distacco, con poche parole a difesa del regime che appaiono posticce, o dalla chiara impronta propagandistica.

Toronto's ARC Ensemble have been exploring the music of composers forced to flee their homeland by the Nazis. The most recent release in Chandos's Music in Exile series – of music by Ernest Kanitz (1894-1978) – drew an enthusiastic welcome by Gramophone's critic Richard Bratby, a review that closed with the hope that 'there's more Kanitz to come'. James Jolly spoke by Zoom to the ARC Ensemble's Artistic Director Simon Wynberg about the musicians of the Ensemble and the music that animates this important recording project, bringing this often totally forgotten music back to life – and also about their forthcoming visit to London's Wigmore Hall for a day of concerts on February 1.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick turns to the global dimensions of the Russian Revolution. Drawing on Robert Service's Spies and Commissars: Bolshevik Russia and the West, we explore how the events of 1917 reverberated far beyond Petrograd.We delve into the chaotic collapse of the Romanov dynasty and the fragile "dual power" that followed. Why did the liberal Provisional Government fail to consolidate power? And how did the Bolsheviks—a small group of exiles caught completely by surprise—navigate their way back to Russia?From the euphoric reaction of emigre circles in London (where Maxim Litvinov tried to shave with toothpaste in his excitement) to the geopolitical chess game played by Britain, France, and the US, we examine the revolution not just as a Russian event, but as a pivotal moment in the First World War. Nick also discusses the historiographical battles over the period—was it a coup, a popular uprising, or a tragedy?—and why historians like Service and Orlando Figes have faced the ire of the modern left.Plus: A final reminder for students!

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Bänoo Zan and Cy Strom about their anthology, Woman Life Freedom: Poems for the Iranian Revolution (Guernica Editions, 2025). This international anthology marks a world-historical moment: the first ever feminist revolution. The slogan chanted by the demonstrators in Iran is Woman, Life, Freedom, and it encompasses hopes and ideals for all people everywhere. This anthology echoes that cry. The poems here might be reflections on the present moment, denunciations of injustice, examinations of the poet's own conscience, laments for the fallen, bitter curses, prayers, celebrations of life, and visions of a better future. Bänoo and Cy aim to raise awareness of the women's revolution in Iran and show the world that this cause is alive and will not be put down. About the editors:  Bänoo Zan is a poet, translator, essayist, and poetry curator, with numerous published pieces and three books. Songs of Exile was shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award. Letters to My Father was published in 2017. She is the founder of Shab-e She'r (Poetry Night), Canada's most diverse and brave poetry reading and open mic series (inception: 2012). Shab-e She'r bridges the gap between communities of poets from different ethnicities, nationalities, religions (or lack thereof), ages, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, poetic styles, voices, and visions. Bänoo calls herself a war correspondent in verse. Others describe her as a political, metaphysical, and spiritual poet. Cy Strom works as an editor. He holds MA and MPhil degrees in early modern European history and has published in academic and other areas, including the visual arts. He edits in different genres and sometimes languages, and has had a role in developing professional editorial standards and educational materials. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryan and Brian are back and picking up their study of the Beatitudes, focusing on the second half of Jesus' opening words in the Sermon on the Mount. This episode explores what it looks like to live as a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven—not just in belief, but in everyday relationships and public life.The conversation moves through mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and persecution, showing how these Beatitudes reveal Jesus' vision for how Kingdom people treat others. Peace is not passive, mercy is not optional, and faithfulness often comes at a cost. Drawing from Jeremiah, Peter, and the prophets, Ryan and Brian ask what it means to seek shalom in a divided, often hostile world.In a culture quick to react, withdraw, or escalate conflict, this episode challenges listeners to pursue peace, speak truth with humility, and trust God when faithfulness leads to opposition—remembering that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who endure.

Listen to this week's sermon, Vision: Sent on Co-Mission preached by Rev. Benjamin Kandt from Jeremiah 29:1-14.

Kashi Akhoon is a survivor of the 1990 Kashmiri Hindu exodus and a former resident of the Kupwara district in Jammu & Kashmir. Before his displacement, he served as a Development Officer for the United India Insurance Company, a profession that involved extensive travel across the valley and provided him with a deep understanding of the local social fabric. He was also an active member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in the region, where he served as a Sharirik Pramukh and focused on community building and social service.In this conversation, Akhoon shares a harrowing first-person account of the events that unfolded in early 1990. He details the terrified atmosphere of the time, recounting a near-death experience where he was trapped in a massive anti-India procession in Sopore and barely escaped with his life. Despite initially sending his wife and infant daughter to safety while he stayed behind, the discovery that he was on a specific "hit list" and the targeted killings of close acquaintances eventually forced him to flee his ancestral home in March 1990, leaving everything behind.Since his exile, Akhoon has lived as a refugee, first in Jammu and later in the Delhi-NCR region. He remains a vocal advocate for the rights of the Kashmiri Pandit community, arguing that a safe return to the valley is only possible through the creation of a secure, concentrated settlement rather than scattered reintegration. His story serves as a powerful testimony to the personal cost of the insurgency and the enduring struggle of the displaced community.

After a long and bitter exile, the unimaginable miracle occurred and the walls of Egypt collapsed before the Jews. A vast people went out to eternal freedom, on its way back to the inheritance of its forefathers.The Torah looks back and summarizes the number of years during which we left the Land of Israel and suffered in Egypt: 430.But there is a problem: it is impossible that we were in Egypt for 430 years. A simple calculation of the ages of the members of Moshe's family, brings us to the obvious conclusion that the Jews were there at most 350?Why shorten or extend it? Eliminate it.

History doesn't whisper here; it knocks. We start with the clash between free expression and national survival during the Civil War, when Clement Vallandigham's defiance led Lincoln to choose exile over prison. From that decisive moment, we trace a thread through Jefferson's and Madison's defenses of religious liberty, exploring why persuasion—never force—keeps faith authentic and public life stable.Along the way, we ground the conversation in scripture that cuts to the heart of freedom and fidelity. Song of Solomon shows love as a choice with real consequences, while Matthew 14 brings us to the shoreline where fear sinks and trust walks on water. These readings aren't just devotional—they're civic wisdom. They show how private virtue feeds the public good, how courage multiplies scarce loaves, and how faith steadies us when the wind rises.We then map those insights onto today's tensions: when personal beliefs cross into open subversion of the constitutional order, the fabric of freedom tears. The founders expected a nation where conscience is free but character is non‑negotiable, where open inquiry vindicates truth, and where citizens share a moral grammar that makes rights work. Add a Medal of Honor snapshot from Veracruz—George Bradley's steadiness under fire—and the pattern is unmistakable: character is policy, and duty gives liberty its spine.If this conversation sharpened your thinking, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Thomas Paine arrived in America in 1774 with little to his name and a long record of personal failure behind him. Within a year, he wrote Common Sense, one of the most influential political pamphlets in history, helping to ignite the American Revolution and catapulting Paine into the American history hall of fame. But by the end of his life, he was widely reviled, politically isolated, and personally abandoned. Once celebrated as the voice of liberty, he died an outcast, mourned by only six people at his funeral. How does one man become the voice of the American Revolution and end up forgotten? To explore Paine's complicated legacy, we are joined by Richard Bell, professor of history at the University of Maryland and author of The American Revolution and the Fate of the World. Timestamps:  00:00 Intro   02:41 Thomas Paine's early life 10:32 Paine's arrival in America 20:02 What did Paine argue in Common Sense? 25:11 Why Common Sense was so revolutionary 36:31 The American Crisis and the Revolutionary War 41:35 Why Paine returned to London and wrote The Rights of Man 49:19 Exile from Britain, imprisonment in France, and writing The Age of Reason 01:01:27 Why America turned its back on Paine 01:12:09 Paine's final days 01:18:50 How should we understand Paine's legacy today? 01:26:58 Outro Enjoy listening to the podcast?

One of the most surprising details in the Exodus story is that Moses, the redeemer of Israel, did not grow up as a slave, but in Pharaoh's palace. In this morning's Kabbalah class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores why Divine Providence chose such an unlikely path for Israel's future leader and what it reveals about the nature of freedom.Drawing on Chassidic insights into the word sivlot“ burdens” that also mean tolerance, this class reframes redemption as a psychological and spiritual awakening. True liberation begins not when suffering becomes unbearable, but when we refuse to accept it as normal.Through the lens of Moses' outsider perspective, the Israelites' cry in Egypt, and our ongoing experience of personal and collective exile, the class challenges us to examine what we've learned to tolerate in our own lives. With warmth, depth, and practical reflection, this session invites participants to rediscover holy dissatisfaction, reclaim dignity, and begin their own daily Exodus from narrowness to possibility.Key TakeawaysRedemption begins internally: Before freedom can happen externally, we must stop tolerating what diminishes us.Tolerance is not always a virtue: Sometimes patience becomes a prison that keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns.Moses could lead because he never internalized slavery: Growing up in Pharaoh's palace gave him the clarity and courage to challenge injustice.The cry matters: Change begins when we allow ourselves to feel the pain we've been numbing and cry out honestly.Exile becomes dangerous when it feels normal: Personally and collectively, redemption starts when we remember that brokenness is not the natural state.Standards shape destiny: What we accept defines what we become, raising our inner standards opens the door to transformation.Every day is an Exodus: Leaving Egypt isn't a one-time event; it's a daily practice of refusing limitation and choosing growth.#Jewish #Kabbalah #Torah #Exodus #TorahPortion #Bible #BibleStudy #Moses #moshe #ParshatVaera #SlaveMentality #Mitzrayim #Tolerance #freedom #PersonalRedemption #chassidus #SlaveMentality  #innerExile #EmotionalHealing  #spiritualgrowth #Moshiach #Geulah  #humandignity #BreakingPatterns Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

O Come Emmanuel is often treated like a peaceful Christmas hymn, but its message is far more restless than we remember. In this belated Christmas episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd explores how the song reflects Israel's longing, Christian exile, and the tension of a kingdom that has come but is not yet fully realized.Christmas is not only about celebration; it is also about waiting. It is about living between promise and fulfillment, between Christ's victory and the world's resistance. Rather than escaping that tension or trying to solve it with political power, this episode calls Christians to embrace faithful hope, resist false kingdoms, and remain anchored in the reign of Christ.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

Guest: Behnam Ben Taleblu. Reports of the Ayatollah planning to flee are likely inaccurate; the regime's ideology drives it to fight rather than seek exile. Despite economic strain, Tehran continues funding proxies like Hezbollah to maintain its transnational terrorist apparatus. The regime also seeks to exploit chaos in Syria to reassert influence.

FAMILY TRAUMA AND XI JINPING'S EXILE TO THE NORTHWEST Colleague Joseph Torigian. The narrative shifts to the family's trauma, describing a teenage Xi Jinping escaping detention only to be denounced by his starving mother for the family's safety. Torigian discusses Xi Jinping's exile to the "sacred" but impoverished Northwest, which exposed him to peasant realities. Meanwhile, an imprisoned Xi Zhongxun wrote unanswered letters to leadership, pleading for relief and expressing concern over the country's agricultural stability. NUMBER 14
