Five beaches became bloody battlefields, and that became the turning point of World War II. It was D-Day, June 6, 1944 when the allied forces invaded those beaches on the coast of France and began to move against and tore Germany. Of course Nazi stronghold after Nazi stronghold fell to those advancing allied troops, but the war still dragged on. Finally, the allies smashed into Berlin; the war still was on. Eventually, it came down to a few blocks around Hitler's bunker, and finally only after Hitler's death, the surrender came. Then the war was over. There had been a lot of victories along the way, but the war wasn't over until the last stronghold surrendered. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Last Stronghold." Our word for today from the Word of God comes right out of the life of Abraham. He has walked with God many years at the time this happens. And now in Genesis 22, the ultimate test of his faith. "Some time later, God tested Abraham, He said to him, 'Abraham!' 'Here I am,' he replied. Then God said, 'Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about." Man! Imagine this! This is the son God promised; this makes no sense. And yet, Abraham, with the son he deeply loves, marches up Mount Moriah with the knife in his hand, with the wood for the sacrifice altar. In fact it says, "Early the next morning Abraham got up, saddled his donkey, and took with him his son, Isaac." Now, as I pointed out, when this happens, Abraham has walked with God many years. He's sacrificed his security back in his homeland. He's taken many risks for the Lord. He's fought battles for the Lord. He's believed God over and over again. And now God takes him to the edge of faith and asks him to surrender the dearest treasure he's got - Isaac - the last stronghold. Here is Abraham with his love for God on one hand and his love for something earthly on the other hand, and he must choose. Do you see what he does? He's up early the next morning. I would at least slept till noon. But he's up early the next morning; instant, immediate response, obedience. Look, you've walked awhile with the Lord, and maybe you've fought battles for him and you've sacrificed some security for Him, you've taken some risks, you've believed Him. But now the Lord is coming to you to ask you to surrender your Isaac; to do whatever He chooses to do with it. God supplied a ram in the thicket for Abraham, and it did not cost him his son. But Abraham didn't know that when he made this walk. What's your Isaac? A lifetime ambition, a dream of being married, your career, a position you really want, some material expectations, maybe a child that's become too important to you, your ministry. God is looking for you to take back that contract you've asked Him to sign. At the bottom, you know, you've got the things the way you want them and at the bottom you want it signed GOD. No. He wants a blank piece of paper that you have signed. He'll write on it. Are you going to obey Him? He'll never do you wrong. He died for you. It's a crisis in Lordship. Today He's asking you to lower that flag that says "Mine" on the last stronghold and raise the flag that finally says "His," because if He can have this, He can have anything. Once you release to God what or who you love the most, God will release to you power and peace like you have never known before.
Episode 53 of Flow drops on Memorial Day weekend with Cam Cooksey navigating a live breaking news situation and tying it all back to God's frequency. A shooter identified as William Sexton, a trans-Democrat activist angry about the US-Iran peace deal, fires on a White House checkpoint and is neutralized by Secret Service. Cam reads the unfolding reports live and lands on a false flag theory with MK Ultra overtones. The 440 Hz versus 432 Hz frequency debate sparks from a chat comment, with Cam connecting 440 standardization to the day Hitler invaded Poland, Havana Syndrome, and weaponized sound. Cam shares his reaction to finally watching Vibes 2 by Rise Attire, reading the two closing quotes from the film live, including the JRR Tolkien quote extended by Rise Attire themselves. Kyle Busch's sudden death is noted with questions about cause. Memorial Day is honored with gratitude for those who gave everything. Double Americans of the Week: Carter Braxton and George Clymer, both Declaration signers who lost fortunes and kept their word anyway.

“Will young, freewheeling American boys take the iron discipline of wartime? … In my judgment the answer is Yes! ... if the answers they get are worth fighting and dying for.” This is the story of propaganda on the home front. The word “propaganda” has some messy connotations, but it's fundamentally about pushing a narrative, which can be good or evil. Leaders on all sides of the war thought about how to spur the populace to join in the war effort, and in America, it fell to entertainers and artists to really rally the nation to war. They utilized every form imaginable: films, comics, cartoons, posters, anything. Movie and comedy stars put on road shows for soldiers. Animation studios enlisted beloved cartoon figures like Donald Duck and Bugs Bunny to sell war bonds, and even invented the hilariously inept Private Snafu to teach soldiers what NOT to do. Captain America, on the other hand, was born ready to punch Hitler's lights out. We'll also cover that unassailable masterpiece, Casablanca, as well as some propaganda aimed at US soldiers from the other side: the siren known as “Tokyo Rose.” ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and preorder Prof. Jackson's new book go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Dans ce nouvel épisode passionnant des Grands dossiers de l'Histoire, Franck Ferrand nous plonge dans la vie fascinante d'André Tardieu, figure politique majeure du début du XXe siècle. Cet homme hors du commun, surnommé le "prophète politique", a su anticiper avec une clairvoyance stupéfiante les dangers qui guettaient la France, de la montée du nazisme aux effets dévastateurs de la crise économique. Brillant dès son plus jeune âge, André Tardieu gravit les échelons de la haute fonction publique avant de s'engager en politique. Nommé président du Conseil en 1929, il tente de mettre en place des réformes ambitieuses pour préparer le pays à affronter la Grande Dépression. Mais son autorité et son franc-parler lui valent de nombreux ennemis, et son gouvernement est renversé en 1930. De retour aux affaires en 1932, Tardieu ne cesse d'avertir ses concitoyens du péril nazi qui se profile à l'horizon. Alors que la France s'enfonce dans le marasme économique et que le parti d'Hitler gagne du terrain en Allemagne, il préconise en vain un renforcement des institutions et du rôle de l'État pour faire face à la menace.
Frotcast reviews the "Hitler before Hitler" biopic, Max, from 2002.
The blatant buying of a congressional seat, blocking Thomas Massie, in Kentucky has demonstrated once again how much power the Israeli-lobby has in America. It also proves how much power Jewish billionaires and groups have in shaping our country. And the White House isn't backing down in defending Israel and Jews against the American public; the Department of Justice has initiated a task force to combat anti-semitism as part of a 15-city national awareness tour. In the name of equality and rights, the DOJ plans to teach Americans that Jews are special and deserve special protections. This immoral subversion of American law is partly based on what are called acts of antisemitism -- but what does that mean. In three recent cases the following occurred: a building that was once a Synagogue in London reportedly caught fire and was blamed on potential arson; a car speeds through a crosswalk in England nearly hitting a Jewish family; Belgian authorities require anyone performing a circumcision to be licensed for health and safety reasons. Notice, the building isn't a Synagogue now, cars nearly hit people daily, and cracking down on unlicensed procedures are all classified as Jewish hatred and antisemitism. This should make us rethink these accusations and history.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Today on Stinchfield, the San Diego mosque shooting exposes a terrifying reality the media refuses to confront. The two alleged shooters weren’t MAGA extremists. They weren’t conservative Christians. They weren’t Trump supporters. By all accounts, they were self described "incels" (involuntarily celibate) consumed by hatred for everyone: Jews, Muslims, Blacks, conservatives, Trump supporters and society itself. Investigators say the suspects appeared radicalized online, embracing a toxic ideology of rage and nihilism that cuts across every political line. Yet don’t expect wall to wall media coverage about the dangers of this kind of extremism because it destroys the corporate press narrative that only “right wing extremism” threatens America. At the same time, disturbing questions are also emerging about the mosque itself. Reports are resurfacing about controversial figures connected to the center over the years, including scrutiny involving radical clerics, and the mosque tied to two of the 9/11 hijackers. There's also troubling online activity allegedly linked to the hero security gaurd, who saved so many young children. Apparently he was "liking" pro-Hitler posts. The current Imam of the Mosque appears to condone violence against Jews just days after the October 7th attack on Isreal. But none of that excuses this slaughter. Three men are dead, including that security guard. This country is unraveling from every direction. Radicalization. Hatred. Broken institutions. A media that only reports violence when it fits the approved political script. America doesn’t just a gun problem, it has a spiritual and cultural collapse unfolding in real time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By the 1930s, filmmakers had access to a backlog of footage from nearly forty years of motion pictures, allowing them to create a new kind of film stitched together from the raw material of older films. At around the same time, the transition to synchronous sound added a transformative new element to the grammar of cinema: the voiceover narration. Together, the film inventory and offscreen commentary gave rise to the archival documentary, the motion picture genre that preserves and rewinds history. In How Film Became History: The Rise of the Archival Documentary in 1930s America (Columbia University Press, 2026), Dr. Thomas Doherty tells the story of the archival documentary, spotlighting the first films that set out deliberately to preserve history on screen. He shows how newsreels and documentaries challenged the era's restrictive censorship and how film began to engage with the great political issues of the day. Doherty considers a range of films—some well-known, others obscure—including J. Stuart Blackton's The Film Parade (1933), Laurence Stallings and Truman Talley's The First World War (1934), Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr.'s Hitler's Reign of Terror (1934), Max Eastman and Herbert Axelbank's Tsar to Lenin (1937), and the March of Time screen magazine. Tracing the creation of the archival documentary, How Film Became History illuminates how motion pictures have come to shape our vision of the past. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

“The end of labor means the end of paid slavery. And the opening up of freedom — that is to say, choice of how to spend your time. The only question, a big question, is how do you eat?” — Keith Teare Does capitalism have a future in our AI age? For Musk, Silicon Valley's baddest bad entrepreneur, the answer might surprise. Musk seems to think that in the long run, money and wealth will disappear in an age of abundant intelligence. Which, presumably, will include hundreds of billions of his own dollars. Although given Musk's determination to sue and take money from OpenAI, some might be slightly sceptical of his real faith in a post-money cornucopia. It's not just Musk and That Was the Week publisher Keith Teare who are reimagining capitalism in our AI age. The former World Bank chief economist, Branko Milanovic, drawing on Karl Marx and Adam Smith in equal measure, argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, things will become free — thereby creating the conditions for the destruction of capitalism. Keith agrees — and goes further than Milanovic. The end of paid labor, he insists, borrowing also from Marx, is not a catastrophe. It's the end of what he calls “paid slavery” and the opening of genuine freedom. I'm not so sure. If nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. The cult of the amateur. The future is of bad entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and even worse artists. Hyper-capitalism in our age of AI. Five Takeaways • The Musk-OpenAI Trial: A Big Yawn That Cost Millions: An Oakland jury rejected Elon Musk's claim against OpenAI in under two hours — not because OpenAI didn't do what Musk alleged, but because the statute of limitations had expired. Someone should have caught this before two weeks of trial. Musk has vowed to appeal, but it's hard to see how you get around a statute of limitations. Keith's verdict: sideshow, big yawn, ego contest. The lawyers won. The real question — who owns OpenAI after it converts to for-profit — was never going to be answered here. • Sam Altman's Credibility Problem: The New York Times took five takeaways from the trial, one of which was that Sam Altman has a credibility problem. Keith's response: not new information. What the trial did reveal is the depth of mutual animosity between Musk and Altman — two people who, despite everything, share more beliefs about where AI is going than almost anyone else in the world. Keith on who he'd back in a Stalin vs Hitler choice: Stalin, 100 times out of 100. Which is not to say he's enthusiastic about either. • Krugman on Europe: Right Analysis, Wrong Conclusion: Paul Krugman, touring Europe, argues that GDP per capita understates European quality of life. A third of US income buys more than a third of US lifestyle in Europe — healthcare, education, travel, housing are all significantly cheaper. Keith agrees with the analysis. His counter: Europe's structural hostility to innovation means it can maintain its lifestyle but not grow it. The social democratic model is sustainable until it isn't. It needs to unlock innovation or it will slowly fall behind. Hard to do when you're spending your time writing regulations. • Milanovic's AI Thesis: When Things Are Free: Branko Milanovic — Marxist and neoclassical economist — argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, value in the classical Adam Smith/Ricardo/Marx sense disappears, and things approach free. Keith agrees and goes further: this isn't just Marxist logic, it's classical economics. The organic composition of capital. If variable capital — mostly labor — tends toward zero, costs tend toward zero, prices tend toward zero, and the distinction between capitalism and its opposite dissolves. Musk says the same thing. Agree or disagree, it's the most interesting economic argument of our time. • The End of Paid Labor Is the End of Paid Slavery: Keith's most provocative position. The end of paid labor is not something to fear. It is freedom — the opening up of genuine choice about how to spend your time. What remains are human-to-human activities: care work, travel companionship, live music, the masseur. These will be in demand. They just won't constitute most of what 8 billion people do. The question of how the previously employed population participates in society — eats, lives, has purpose — is real and large. Keith's position: it's not an inconceivable problem. Andrew's counter: if nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter.

And Another Thing with Dave, by Dave SmithWarning: This episode contains strong opinions and controversial historical interpretations. Listener discretion advised.In this no-holds-barred episode of And Another Thing with Dave, host Dave Smith dives deep into hidden symbolism, historical revisionism, and what he sees as coordinated global power plays.Dave starts with the striking blue-and-white color scheme on Epstein's Little St. James island and its connections to national flags, then explores how symbolism shapes narratives — from the ancient swastika's transformation to alleged false-flag incidents. He discusses the push for American unity against foreign influence (referencing Nick Fuentes), protecting children from school indoctrination, and fighting back through local politics like school boards and city councils.The conversation goes full throttle into:The founding of Israel, the Nakba, Irgun/Haganah terrorism, and recommended Al Jazeera documentaries (Tantura and October 7th – A Forensic Investigation)Epstein files, Pizzagate, Podesta art, and elite connectionsClaims about Trump's ties to Chabad-Lubavitch, “Jewish president” comments, and carrying out larger agendasArgentina & Chile wildfires allegedly started by Israeli groups to exploit land loopholes, Hitler's escape to Argentina, and the Samson OptionCIA/Mossad operations, weather warfare (Operation Popeye), Middle East interventions, and resource controlCritiques of media narratives, false flags, and the idea of a “Zionist-occupied government” pitting Christians and Muslims against each otherRaw, passionate, and heavily conspiratorial, Dave urges listeners to research primary sources, question official stories, and wake up to what he believes is an existential threat to national sovereignty.#EpsteinIsland #BlueWhiteFlag #Zionist #Nakba #Tantura #SamsonOption #ArgentinaWildfires #ZionistOccupiedGovernment #AndAnotherThing #DaveSmith #CulturalMarxism #FalseFlags #Pizzagate #NickFuentes #WeimarAmerica #WakeUp #Conspiracy #GreatestAlly #aatwd #AATWD #andanotherthing

It is 1931. Adolph Hitler is less than two years away from becoming dictator of Germany. But he is currently walking a political tightrope with his future still uncertain. In September of that year Hitler's 22-year-old niece Geli Raubal is found dead of a gunshot wound in the future Fuhrer's Munich apartment. Their odd relationship raised many questions. Was her death a suicide as Hitler claims, or was there a more sinister side to the story? Our guest Peter Clenott has written a thrilling novel entitled, “The Murder Investigation of Adolph Hitler,” about a tumultuous time in Germany and a case that could have changed history as we know it!

The Nazis' official name was the National Socialist German Workers' Party, which may seem a strange choice given Hitler's ferocious hostility toward Marxism and Communism. Yet many right-wing pundits and politicians today argue that the Nazis were a left-wing movement opposed to capitalism, as evidenced by the party's name, rhetoric, and policies. Is it true? Historian Roger Griffin, one of the world's leading experts on fascism, is here with a nuanced take on these historical ambiguities. Recommended reading: Fascism: A Quick Immersion by Roger Griffin

Using a word association exercise with names like Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, and Adolf Hitler, Pastor Jared establishes that names are far more than titles — they represent the full weight of a person's life and character. Because God's name, Yahweh, is a revealed, personal, and representative name that encapsulates all of who He is, it carries a holiness that demands our deepest reverence. As Exodus 3:15 declares, "This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations." Pastor Jared then walks through the many ways God's people misuse His name, going well beyond the obvious offense of profanity. Drawing from the Old Testament, he identifies three ancient patterns of misuse — sorcery, false prophecy, and false oaths — and shows how each has a modern equivalent. The prosperity gospel, for instance, mirrors ancient sorcery by invoking God's name as a tool to claim health and wealth, effectively turning the relationship between God and man into a transaction. False prophecy lives on whenever someone attaches "God said" to their own spiritual intuition or personal agenda, and false oaths persist whenever we use God's name to prop up promises we have no intention of keeping. Ultimately, Pastor Jared anchors the sermon in the gospel. Every person in the room has broken this commandment and stands guilty before God. But Jesus, who declared in John 12:28 that His aim in going to the cross was to glorify the Father's name, perfectly honored what we have profaned. He was condemned for blasphemy so that blasphemers could be forgiven. Because of Christ, we are now free to hallow God's name as we were created to — calling upon it in worship, prayer, and lives of genuine integrity that reflect the Lord we claim.

Aujourd'hui, la croix gammée évoque immédiatement le nazisme et les crimes du Parti nazi. Pourtant, ce symbole est bien plus ancien que le XXe siècle. Avant d'être détournée par Adolf Hitler, la croix gammée était utilisée depuis des millénaires dans de nombreuses civilisations du monde, souvent avec une signification positive.Le mot “swastika” vient du sanskrit, une ancienne langue de l'Inde. Il dérive du terme “svastika”, qui signifie approximativement “porte-bonheur” ou “ce qui apporte le bien-être”. En Inde, ce symbole existe depuis plus de 3 000 ans. On le retrouve dans l'Hindouisme, le bouddhisme et le jaïnisme. Dans ces traditions, il représente généralement la prospérité, l'harmonie, le cycle de la vie ou encore le mouvement du soleil.La croix gammée ne se limitait pas à l'Asie. Les archéologues en ont retrouvé dans des civilisations très diverses : chez les Grecs anciens, les Romains, certains peuples celtes, les Vikings, mais aussi dans des cultures amérindiennes. Le motif géométrique était relativement simple à dessiner et apparaissait souvent dans des décorations, des mosaïques ou des objets religieux.Jusqu'au début du XXe siècle, le symbole était encore largement utilisé en Occident sans connotation négative. On le trouvait sur des cartes postales, des bâtiments, des bijoux ou même des logos commerciaux. Certaines unités militaires européennes l'utilisaient comme porte-bonheur. En Finlande, par exemple, l'armée de l'air employa une croix gammée bleue avant même l'arrivée du nazisme.Tout change dans les années 1920 lorsque Adolf Hitler choisit ce symbole pour représenter le mouvement nazi. Il voulait un emblème simple, puissant et immédiatement reconnaissable. Les nazis prétendaient — à tort — que la croix gammée était un ancien symbole “aryen”, censé représenter une prétendue race supérieure germanique. Ils inclinèrent le symbole à 45 degrés et l'intégrèrent dans un drapeau rouge, blanc et noir qui devint l'un des emblèmes les plus tristement célèbres de l'histoire.Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et la découverte des crimes nazis, la signification du symbole fut profondément bouleversée en Occident. Aujourd'hui, en Europe et en Amérique, la croix gammée reste avant tout associée au nazisme, à l'antisémitisme et à la Shoah.Mais dans plusieurs pays asiatiques, notamment en Inde, au Népal ou au Japon, elle conserve encore aujourd'hui ses significations religieuses et spirituelles ancestrales, très différentes de son usage nazi.

Carlos Martins joins the New Books Network to discuss his book Fascism: Beyond Hitler and Mussolini (Desassossego, 2022) (in Portuguese Fascismos: Para Além de Hitler e Mussolini), a comparative study of fascist movements across Europe and beyond. Working from a rigorous definition of fascism based on its ideological content, Martins examines eight case studies, analysing these specific manifestations of fascism to identify what they had in common and what separated them. In this conversation, we discuss the problem of defining fascism, the distinctions between fascism and populism and why Martins argues that not every dictatorship or radical right movement should automatically be classified as fascist. The discussion also turns to the Portuguese case, including the Estado Novo, National Syndicalism and the debate surrounding Salazarism's relationship to European fascism. At a moment when the word “fascism” is increasingly invoked in public debate, Martins makes the case for conceptual precision without losing sight of fascism's historical adaptability and political force. The result is a wide-ranging conversation about ideology, political modernity and the uses, and misuses, of language. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I spoke with Michael Benson about his book "Hollywood vs Nazis: How The Movie Studios Took On Nazis Infiltrating Los Angeles". The true story of Hitler's plot to turn Hollywood's Dream Factory into a Nazi propaganda machine—and the Jewish moguls' clandestine operation to sabotage the Reich's insidious reach.
Publié en 1937, soit deux ans avant le déclenchement de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le roman Swastika Night est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'une des dystopies les plus troublantes du XXe siècle. Son autrice, la Britannique Katharine Burdekin, écrivait sous le pseudonyme masculin “Murray Constantine”. À une époque où beaucoup d'intellectuels sous-estimaient encore le nazisme ou pensaient qu'il ne durerait pas, elle imagina un futur terrifiant dans lequel Hitler avait triomphé et dominait le monde depuis plusieurs siècles.Le roman se déroule environ sept cents ans après une victoire totale de l'Allemagne nazie et de son allié japonais. L'Europe est devenue un immense empire fasciste gouverné par une religion politique fondée sur l'adoration d'Hitler. Celui-ci n'est plus présenté comme un homme, mais comme une sorte de dieu mythique. La vérité historique a disparu. Les livres ont été détruits. Les populations ont été conditionnées depuis des générations. Personne ne sait plus réellement qui était Hitler ni comment le régime s'est imposé.C'est précisément ce qui rend le livre si célèbre : il anticipe avec une précision étonnante plusieurs mécanismes des totalitarismes modernes. Burdekin comprend avant beaucoup d'autres que les dictatures ne cherchent pas seulement à contrôler les territoires ou les armées. Elles veulent aussi contrôler la mémoire, la culture et même la réalité elle-même.Le roman est également remarquable par son analyse de la masculinité fasciste. Dans ce futur nazi, les femmes ont été totalement déshumanisées. Elles n'ont plus aucun droit, vivent enfermées et sont considérées comme des êtres inférieurs uniquement destinés à la reproduction. Les hommes, eux, sont élevés dans un culte obsessionnel de la virilité guerrière. Cette critique du sexisme nazi était extrêmement audacieuse pour l'époque.Mais le plus impressionnant est sans doute la manière dont le livre annonce certaines idées popularisées plus tard par George Orwell dans 1984. On y retrouve déjà la falsification de l'histoire, le contrôle de la pensée, le culte du chef et la disparition de la vérité objective.Pendant longtemps, Swastika Night est resté relativement méconnu. Pourtant, de nombreux spécialistes le considèrent aujourd'hui comme une œuvre majeure de la littérature dystopique, au même titre que Le Meilleur des mondes ou 1984. Sa force vient du fait qu'il fut écrit avant l'horreur de la guerre et de la Shoah. Burdekin avait perçu, avant beaucoup d'autres, jusqu'où pouvait mener le fanatisme totalitaire. Hébergé par Acast.

A Leni Riefensthalt, le llamaron de todo: "La amiga de Hitler", "La puta de los nazis". Su pecado haber hecho varias películas documentales que ensalzaron la figura de Adolf Hitler, películas cuya maestría cinematográfica dejó una huella tan grande que celebres directores como Spielberg, Copolla, Lucas o Chaplin declararon haberse inspirado para realizar sus futuros trabajos. Reyes Monforte, periodista y escritora nos cuenta en su novela "La mirada del mal" publicada en Plaza y Janes, toda su trayectoria artística, cuando Leni era famosa antes de trabajar para Hitler y como se defendió durante los juicios de desnazificación afirmando que ella era solo culpable de transmitir belleza a través de su trabajo y que desconocía las matanzas de judíos que realizaron los nazis. Mucha información que desvela los claro oscuros de la época y que pone de manifiesto las simpatías que existía por Hitler y su proyecto en Europa hasta que salieron a la luz las matanzas de los campos de concentración.

Cuando Alemania creció en los años 30, Italia no pudo seguirle el ritmo. La máquina bélica y diplomática germana era apabullante. La jugada Italiana pasaba por que fuese Hitler quien tomase la iniciativa, y Mussolini entraría en el momento justo para llegar con ventaja a la mesa de negociaciones.

Wars age people. Not just soldiers. Everybody.They age taxpayers who never asked to finance them. They age mothers refreshing news feeds at 2 a.m. They age nations that slowly begin measuring normal life by the intervals between explosions. Even television anchors begin to look like casino dealers who've spent too many years under fluorescent lights pushing geopolitical roulette chips around a spinning table labeled “Democracy.”Which is why President Donald Trump announcing a cease fire between Russia and Ukraine lands with the force of a cold glass of water thrown into a burning kitchen.Perfect timing, too.Barely had the smoke started clearing from tensions involving Iran before Trump reminded the world of something Washington's permanent war mascots desperately try to suppress: the man they compared to Hitler for a decade keeps preventing wars instead of starting them.That creates a branding problem.After all, how are media executives supposed to maintain their emotional support apocalypse if peace keeps breaking out like an unsupervised prison riot? CNN practically operates like a 24-hour haunted house attraction where every hallway contains Wolf Blitzer whispering, “This could escalate.” MSNBC analysts look emotionally bereaved anytime missiles stop flying. Somewhere inside the Pentagon, an intern probably fainted into a Raytheon brochure.Meanwhile, ordinary people around the world are quietly asking a forbidden question:What if Trump was right about all this?Because despite years of propaganda portraying him as an unstable orange wrecking ball with Wi-Fi access, Trump's foreign policy record increasingly resembles that one mechanic everybody mocked until their own car burst into flames on the interstate. Suddenly the loudmouth guy nobody respected is standing there with jumper cables and a functioning engine.And the numbers matter.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
[A crosspost with Hollywood Woketopia, my other Substack]Every so often, a moment in culture arrives, a Sydney Sweeney ad, or Project Hail Mary. Every time, we hear that the Woke fever has finally broken. Hollywood cares about the people again. Right?The same reason Kamala Harris is likely to be the nominee in 2028, the same reason the Democrats are still selling the lie that any kind of attempt by Republicans to even out the redistricting is “Jim Crow 2.0,” is proof enough that on the Left, Woke is not going anywhere. It is who they are now. Not all of them, but the most powerful among them.Early on, when Mark Halperin and others were insisting Gavin Newsom would be the nominee in 2028, I said there was no way the Democrats would get behind a white guy, no matter how passionately he genuflects to the Woke (“Anti-woke is anti-black!”). I know the Democrats. I was one. I helped build the modern-day party of the Great Feminization and the Great Awokening. I know what fires them up every day, and it isn't just taking back power; it's foisting their religion upon the rest of us.They think it's the opposite, that it's the Right that is foisting their “Christian Nationalism” upon them. While it's true that a faction of the Right has unmasked to become the very thing Rob Reiner warned about in his movie, God and Country, they aren't the majority. Perhaps that's true on the Left. But look around. Their religion is the dominant culture in America.When news got out that Christopher Nolan had cast Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy, the “most beautiful woman in the world,” whose face launched a thousand ships, it ignited yet another culture war. How you reacted was like whether or not you wore a mask outside in 2020. It was a test. You're on one side, or you're on the other. Notice it, comment on it, object to it, criticize it, and you're one of the bad people to be purged. And if that weren't enough, Nolan brought back Ellen Page from Inception, now recast as Elliot Page, the male, as an act of affirmation and yet another test. These are Orwellian 2+2=5 and force people to choose between ignoring it and going to see a big-effects movie in IMAX, or not buying a ticket and boycotting the film. Elon Musk took the bait, becoming the villain Hollywood needed to turn seeing The Odyssey into a righteous and political act. You can see them now: the bearded male feminists buying tickets ten times in a row. “Take that, Elon Musk!” The ladies of Blue Sky will go in groups, then fawn over how beautiful Lupita Nyong'o is and overuse the male pronoun for Ellen/Elliot Page. “Wasn't he great?”The game is becoming exhausting by now, as Hollywood demands the hard-working American public be impressed by them, lectured by them, and corrected by them. All audiences really want is the one thing Hollywood seems unable to accomplish: entertain them.It isn't that Nyong'o isn't pretty. She is. It's that Helen of Troy was white, famously so, even if Greek. Nyong'o is a unique beauty, not a universal one, a reality the Left wants to force, because Hollywood doesn't care about its audience. They want to look good.Probably the worst thing about the game Hollywood plays with the movie fans they helped raise is that Lupita Nyong'o is held out as a sacrificial lamb. She isn't pushing any ideology, unlike Ellen/Elliot Page. They are putting her out there and expecting her to absorb criticism about herself, including whether she is pretty enough. I met her once, back in 2013 in Telluride, before her career took off. She was too young to know how to act like a celebrity. She was so nice, I was won over. She would win an Oscar that year and become a big star in Hollywood. Is it fair to put her in this position just so they can feel good about themselves? No. Does it change anything? No. There is still such a thing as truth and reality, even if that is the thing that is unfair. The Woke Code and the Hays CodeThe Hays Code (1930-1968) represented an era wherein decency and morality were mandated in all Hollywood films. The Christian conservatism/morality mandated by the Hays Code reflected less a separation between art and governance and more a united effort toward a utopian society of goodness, especially as we moved through the last Fourth Turning, the Great Depression, and World War II, a time where the world saw true evil in Hitler and Stalin, not to mention the nuclear bomb.That isn't all that different from what the Woke Code is now. It's roughly the same kind of thing: rigid rules to depict an ideal society. The difference is that Christian advocates have been replaced by progressive activists, and the villain is the white male patriarchy. What is different now, amid our current Fourth Turning, is that the Woke Code includes only half of America. To the Left, they would rewrite this narrative to say that Hollywood depicted mostly White America, and that is what has changed. But really, if you respond to the box office, as Hollywood doesn't anymore, you will always default to the majority. It isn't rocket science — beautiful, sexy women and masculine men and a great story.The end of the Hays Code was entirely due to economics. Television became so popular in the 1950s that there wasn't much of a need to go to the movies if all you saw was the same kind of buttoned-up themes you could see on TV. That's true now, too. Movies, then, had to break out of the Hays Code and become much more subversive, leading into the 1970s, which saw some of the best films ever made. While it's true that The Odyssey will be eligible to win Oscars under the new rules, it's also true that the criteria could have been met in a way that didn't make audiences play this same exhausting game that has alienated them from everything Hollywood puts out. The casting of Nyong'o and Page is less about Oscars and more about status. Perhaps Nolan was under pressure to cast a non-white woman as Helen, or maybe he wants to be seen as a good person using his wealth and fame to make change, as the most famous white male directors reach for things money can't buy, like Martin Scorsese making Killers of the Flower Moon, Steven Spielberg making West Side Story with a real Latina, and Paul Thomas Anderson's Peak Woke Best Picture winner, One Battle After Another.No film has better exemplified Hollywood in the Trump era than this one. It says it all. ICE as the Gestapo, check. America is run by a cabal of wealthy white Nazis, check. A woman of color must save herself, check. All of it is held together by a hapless white man, Leonardo DiCaprio, who represents the film's beating heart. He's the only good white guy, which is how those in Hollywood who make these kinds of choices would like to be seen. One Battle is actually a movie about them.Had Nolan cast a blue-eyed blonde woman as Helen of Troy, all hell would have broken loose. When you go against the rules of the Woketopia, you aren't just getting hit on X with lots of angry tweets by loyal fans who continually feel betrayed; they bring out the big guns - agonizing op-eds in the New Yorker, for instance. If you obey the rules, then you are praised. The problem is that it all feels so artificial, so pre-planned, so inorganic.I used to write the Oscars report for Jane Fonda's Women's Media Center (who fired me after they found out I voted for Trump), counting the number of female nominees and winners. The statistics were always grim. Every year, it was bad news. As things began to change for women after the Academy announced its DEI mandate in 2020, that change was forced. If before merit had made too many white men winners, now we were seeing something a little closer to gender parity. So then the line moved back, and it became not just about women but women of color and trans women. Now, it's all about Marxism disguised as art. If life isn't fair, movies will make it fair. It isn't just because the Oscars have it written into their new rules, and it isn't just because activist groups like GLAAD breathe down the neck of every Hollywood studio, counting heads and making reports. It's that this is a deeply felt belief system that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I have no doubt The Odyssey will make money. It's a Christopher Nolan film, after all. Who doesn't want to go see a giant visual effects epic filmed entirely on IMAX? If you can ignore the elephant in the room, the performative casting, you might have a great time. But if you were hoping that Woke is over, well, I think that was its own Hollywood fairy tale. It's why Kamala Harris was the nominee in 2024 and why she will once again be the nominee in 2028. This is how the ruling class in America wants to be represented. They want to force change, and they do that by elevating minority groups to high-status positions as symbols for the mostly white people who run things.Culture, like the Democratic Party, will have to be built anew. That, more than anything, explains why AI is about to completely consume the business, becoming the subversive counterculture revolution Hollywood never saw coming. They can do it all and more without the millions of dollars necessary to mount a production. AI artists don't have to be held to the same rigid standards. They can be purely about bringing in eyeballs by showing what people most want to see, rather than what Hollywood wants them to want to see. In other words, they can make the women as beautiful as they want, and no one can cancel them for it. I spent my life in movie theaters gazing up at the big screen and watching some of the best films ever made. The only way that makes sense is if you are escaping real life and finding your way into a fantasy world, and maybe for the Woke, seeing Lupita Nyong'o cast as the most beautiful woman in the world is its own kind of fantasy fulfillment. After the movie comes out, we'll have to see whether it works or not. At the moment, it feels like just another test to decide who gets to stay and who has to go. This is a public episode.

Matt Whitaker has been writing and directing for film and television for over 30 years. A specialist in the WWII genre, his produced screenplays include the critically acclaimed war films Saints and Soldiers and Instrument of War. In 2002, Whitaker and a film crew travelled to Germany with the last surviving member of a teenage resistance group, a powerful experience that led to the PBS documentary Truth & Conviction: The Helmuth Hübener Story. Now, his dramatic feature film, Truth & Treason, brings this incredible history to audiences across the UK.I wanted to speak with Matt to dive into the compelling history of Helmuth Hübener, the youngest person executed by the Nazi regime for opposing Adolf Hitler. As a fellow Latter-day Saint, Matt shares his 25-year journey of bringing this profound piece of history to life, the complex realities of local church leaders navigating a totalitarian state, and how recent research on Gestapo files has been changing how scholars view the Church's relationship with the Third Reich.Some highlights from this episode include:Loyalty to a Lie: Matt breaks down the incredible true story of 16-year-old Helmuth Hübener, who chose to risk everything by listening to banned BBC shortwave broadcasts to uncover the truth and launch a clandestine leaflet resistance campaign.The Words of the Leaflets: Matt reveals a crucial detail about the creative authenticity of Truth & Treason: every single sentence of anti-Nazi text typed or spoken from the resistance leaflets in the film is a direct, accurate English translation taken straight from the historical Gestapo archives.The Secret Gestapo Files: A fascinating look into additional historical research by scholar Steven Smoot and the BH Roberts Foundation, detailing a massive, Gestapo dossier that proves the Nazi regime was actively spying on and deeply suspicious of the Latter-day Saint community in Germany.The Complexity of Wartime Leadership: A nuanced discussion regarding the immense pressure faced by Hamburg Branch President Arthur Zander, exploring the difficult dual-realities of a man who was a devoted church leader but also an ardent supporter of the regime.A 25 Year Project: Matt opens up about a deeply personal spiritual experience that gave him the definitive mandate to direct this film, and how his wife's unwavering support kept the project alive through two decades of immense funding and development challenges.Truth & Treason is available on Amazon Prime Video and major UK digital platforms starting May 18 2026.Follow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.For All The Saints podcast was established in 2023 by Ben Hancock to express his passion and desire for more dialogue around faith, religious belief, and believers' perspectives on the topics of our day.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode, she's speaking with Luke Burgis about his new book, The One and the Ninety-Nine, Forging Identity in the Age of Social Contagion. Through stories ranging from the parable of the lost sheep to August Landmesser, the only person in a huge crowd to refuse to salute to Hitler, Luke describes the missing skill that makes real community possible: learning how to remain oneself while staying connected to others. He offers practical, tactical advice for how to recognize false belonging, escape coercive dynamics, and pass through the rites of passage that produce people with integrity and courage. This is a book that will help you figure out what YOU want, so that you can go get it rather than being distracted by what others want. Guest Background: Luke Burgis is the director of The Cluny Institute and a professor at The Catholic University of America, where he studies the invisible forces that shape human behavior. He is the author of Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life. He lives in Washington, D.C., and Michigan with his wife, Claire, and their children.

RHLSTP #609 - Comedian Cancer Frankingstein - Rich hasn't got much to say at the start (hooray) and even then he is not as funny as a man in the audience. His guest is impressionist, comedian and podcaster Matt Forde. They talk about Rich's Mastermind failure (again?), working on Spitting Image and how weird it is that out of all the characters that show has done, it's the puppet of Paddington that has got them into the most trouble, working with the divine genius Alice Levine, interviewing the Prime Minister and other dodgy political figures, why there's a better option than going back in time to kill baby Hitler, plus a long chat about the negatives and surprising positives of having had spinal cancer, why it's helpful to talk about this and why cancer isn't as bad as the possibility of Nottingham Forest getting demoted. Another really special podcast. Don't miss this one.See Matt on tour - https://www.mattforde.com/live-showsListen to the CRUK podcast with Matt, Rich and Mark Steel https://shows.acast.com/rhlstp/episodes/special-episode-in-partnership-with-cancer-research-ukSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPEAudio mix by Ben Evans (NTO)Thanks to Chris Evans (NTO) and Ben WalkerRecorded at the Leicester Square Theatre Hosted on Acast.

Sonia Purnell describes the 1939 marriage proposal between Randolph Churchill and Pamela Digby, who met for the first time at a London dinner. Pamela, a 19-year-old aristocrat from an isolated, cash-strapped Dorset estate, accepted the unromantic proposal as a strategic means of escaping her stifling rural life for the city's intellectual and political circles. Raised in a household that favored male heirs and discouraged formal female education, Pamela possessed a keen mind and an early awareness of her power over older, influential men. Her time in Munich in 1937 exposed her to Hitler and the terrifying rise of the Nazi party. Despite a failed debutante season in 1938 where she was dismissed as a "plump" oddball, Pamela's marriage provided the entree into high society she desperately craved. The union was a calculated gamble to move from the periphery to the center of global events as war loomed. (1/8)1642 COMMONS
Deep in the Ozarks, outside a tiny Arkansas town, a group of white nationalists believe they've found a legal loophole to resurrect segregation in America. They call it Return to the Land — a “traditionalist” community built around shared values, shared land… and shared race. Will they be shut down? Or will the be allowed to have, essentially, a new Sundown town?

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, don't do this Iran deal, Mr. President! The Iranian regime the world's worst terrorist state for decades, which funds proxies, lies in negotiations, and uses talks to buy time while pursuing its fundamentalist ideology. The only path to true elimination of this regime is arming and training the Iranian people to overthrow their internal police state. Without fully toppling the regime, it will regroup, Hezbollah and Hamas will survive, and critics (Democrats, media, isolationists) will still attack Trump as having wimped out. Also, Barack Obama ignited Marxist-Islamist influences during his administration and is now praising Zohran Mamdani. In New York City, Mamdani is deliberately fostering a hostile and potentially deadly environment for Jews, where they face intimidation by thugs and Islamists, cannot safely attend temple, and encounter widespread antisemitic graffiti. Though he issues denunciations, he abolishes the anti-Semitic commission, targets organizations, and signals his intent to create conditions forcing Jews to leave, effectively aiming to depopulate the city of its Jewish community. Later, California has awarded CAIR-CA at least $41 million in taxpayer funds—mostly federal—over the last five years through the Department of Social Services, primarily for immigration legal services to Afghan newcomers. CAIR presents itself as a Muslim civil rights group but it is a front group for Hamas. CAIR should be shut down and its officials deported. Afterward, Alan Dershowitz, who has left the Democrat Party, calls in. Republicans need to retain the House and Senate to prevent Senators Warren, Murphy, and Rep AOC from controlling key committees – they are harmful to the country and peace. He calls Bernie Sanders the greatest anti-Semite today for opposing anything Jews or Israel do, drawing a parallel to 1932 German Jews who supported Hitler and ended up in Auschwitz. Sanders is a hypocrite who claims Jewish heritage yet abandoned diverse Brooklyn for overwhelmingly white Vermont to address racial problems. Learn more about your ad choices.
