A conversation between two acclaimed Canadian authors – Margaret Atwood and Michael Crummey on ‘The Art of the Story'. A live discussion about writing, reading, what makes Canadian authors unique and the publishing landscape. Atwood is one of Canada's most celebrated writers, recently published Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts. Crummey is the author of numerous short stories, poetry and novels, his most recent work being The Adversary. This recording was from a live event at The Globe and Mail headquarters in Toronto on Dec.1, 2025, as part of celebrations for The Globe 100, an annual list of the most notable reads.

On The Power Vertical Podcast this week, host Brian Whitmore speaks with two veteran diplomats, former U.S. State Department official Donald Jensen, who is currently an an adjunct professor in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins University and an adjunct fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies; and Osmolovska, a 15-year veteran of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry who now serves as the head of GLOBSEC's Kyiv office. They are the co-authors of an important, exhaustively researched, and very timely report, "Adversary at the Table: Negotiating with Putin's Russia," which was released this week by the Atlantic Council.
Xi Van Fleet grew up in China during Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution. She was too young to be a real revolutionary Red Guard, but old enough to observe the astonishing scenes of violence and ideological fervor around her during those terrible years.I sat down with her to discuss her new book, “Made in America: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Enabled Communist China and Created Our Greatest Threat.”She says she felt compelled to write this book to help Americans understand the true nature of communism. Over the past hundred years or so, the United States has made one grave mistake after another because of this major blind spot, she says.In our deep-dive interview, Van Fleet takes me on a tour of China's history starting in the late 19th century and explains how America—over and over again—made decisions that helped the Chinese Communist Party: first to gain influence, then to defeat the Nationalists led by Chiang Kai-shek, and eventually to rescue the CCP from certain collapse in the 1970s.By visiting Beijing and re-opening US-China relations at a time when China's economy was in shambles, President Richard Nixon effectively “saved the CCP from the ruins,” she says.The history of how the United States helped the CCP survive is “hidden history,” as she calls it, one that is not taught in the schools and not discussed publicly: “A lot of people want to hide it. But in order for us to understand, we have to learn this very, very important piece of history that my book is all about.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

We gaan in gesprek met twee red teamers van de NS: Rutger Flohil en Bob van der Staak. Zij delen hun expertise over moderne hacktechnieken, van phishing campagnes tot adversary-in-the-middle aanvallen. De gesprek gaat over hoe aanvallers binnenkomem bij organisaties, waarom multi-factor authenticatie niet altijd beschermt, en welke beveiligingsmaatregelen wel écht werken.De red teamers leggen uit hoe ze simulatie-aanvallen uitvoeren om bedrijven te testen, zonder daadwerkelijk schade aan te richten. Ze bespreken de gevaren van typosquatting, hoe sessietokens binnen seconden kunnen worden gekaapt, en waarom detectie belangrijker is dan alleen preventie. Ook komt aan bod hoe cybercriminaliteit steeds toegankelijker wordt door phishing kits op de darkweb.Een eye-opening gesprek over de realiteit van moderne cybersecurity, met praktische inzichten voor organisaties die hun verdediging willen versterken.Belangrijkste inzichten:• Adversary-in-the-middle aanvallen kunnen zelfs MFA omzeilen door sessies te kapen• Phishing blijft verantwoordelijk voor 60% van alle cyberaanvallen• Microsoft's inconsistente domeinnamen (login.microsoftonline.com) maken typosquatting makkelijker• Binnen 7 seconden kunnen aanvallers persistence creëren op meerdere platforms• FIDO keys en passkeys bieden betere bescherming dan traditionele MFA• Security awareness moet gaan over melden, niet over shaming• Detectie en monitoring zijn cruciaal naast preventieve maatregelenHoofdstukken:0:09 - Introductie ethical hacking en red teaming1:29 - Security onderzoek en responsible disclosure2:17 - Red team operaties en phishing campagnes7:56 - Adversary-in-the-middle aanvallen9:26 - Domeinnamen en typosquatting19:14 - Multi-factor authenticatie en beveiliging28:03 - Phishing kits en democratisering van cybercrime30:38 - Detectie en security awarenessKeywords: ethical hacking, red teaming, phishing, adversary-in-the-middle, cybersecurity, multi-factor authenticatie, typosquatting, sessiekaping, security awareness, responsible disclosure, FIDO keys, passkeys, Microsoft security, Azure DevOps, NS security

The Adversary (The Tier One Thrillers) by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson https://www.amazon.com/Adversary-Tier-One-Thrillers/dp/B0F95HK4D2 From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson, The Adversary is the next heart-stopping installment in the Tier One series. For John Dempsey, it’s a time of uncertainty. As a new administration tries to piece together who was behind the assassination of an American president, task force Ember is a team without a target. Newly Minted POTUS, Kelso Jarvis, is haunted by strange dreams of a house on fire, and Dempsey’s son Jake–who has begun his own journey as a SEAL–can’t escape the ghost of the father he believes to be dead. But when a routine intelligence gathering mission in Taiwan goes horribly wrong and one of Ember’s own is captured, Dempsey’s frustration only grows. As Ember races to rescue their teammate before it’s too late, three of America’s strongest warriors–Dempsey, Jarvis, and Jake–must ask themselves if tomorrow’s adversary resides across the Taiwan Strait, or within themselves. About the author Brian is a US Navy veteran, nuclear engineer, and former submarine officer. He graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in psychology, holds a Master’s in business from Cornell, and is a Park Leadership Fellow.

Rahm Emanuel returns to ChinaTalk with a characteristically blunt assessment of U.S.-China relations, delivering an unsparing verdict on the first year of Donald Trump's second term. We discuss: The “Fear Factor” in Asia: Why Japan and South Korea are ramping up defense spending not because of Trump's strength, but because his unpredictability and isolationism have forced them to buy “insurance policies” against a U.S. exit, Corruption and “Own Goals”: How “draining the swamp” has turned into institutional degradation — and why the Trump family's entanglement of personal business interests with foreign policy damages U.S. credibility and strategic leverage, Adversary, Not Competitor: Why the U.S. needs to stop viewing China as a strategic competitor and start treating it as a strategic adversary — one whose win-lose economic model is designed to hollow out global industrial bases, Education as National Security: Why tariffs are a distraction and the only real way to beat China is a massive domestic push for workforce training, AI and Inequality: Rahm's evolving thinking on artificial intelligence — why he's still learning and why a technology that boosts productivity but widens inequality is a political and social risk. Plus: prescient observations on Iran, why Ari Emanuel's robot UFC idea might actually be sound policy, Rahm's case that he's now the real free-market capitalist in the room, and rapid-fire takes on J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and the 2028 Republican field. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are you ready to wrap up another year? This week on the podcast, I'm reflecting on what it means to approach a new year and asking some deep questions about our understanding of the plan of salvation. We've all heard lessons about the "plan of the adversary" versus the plan of happiness, but what if we've misunderstood what Satan's alternate plan actually was? I'm diving into what the scriptures really say—and don't say—about agency, force, and the adversary's true motives.Join me as I throw out a fresh idea: what if the adversary's original proposal wasn't about forcing us to make the right choices, but rather about simply changing the rules, making it seem like everything would be okay no matter what we did? How does that perspective change the way we approach temptation and discernment today? If the enemy's greatest tool has always been subtle deception—making wrong seem almost right—what does that mean for us as disciples trying not to be deceived?This episode is an open invitation to question, ponder, and discuss. I'd love to hear your thoughts—what do you think about the idea of “The Other Plan”? And how do you make sure you're not being deceived? Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation and let's keep discovering the sweet nuggets of gospel goodness together.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

What do you do when the sky stops behaving the way the textbooks say it should?For decades, talk of unidentified flying objects (“UFOs”) sat on the margins. That's become harder to shrug off when decorated pilots, radar operators, and intel officers are raising their right hands in Congress and saying, I saw something I couldn't file away as a drone, jet, or planet.In this episode, we (JMill and Forrest) pull Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) into familiar territory: sensors, safety, and systems. They start with what crews actually see and record. How does a night-vision video line up with radar tracks? What happens when the infrared feed disagrees with the eyeballs in the cockpit? And why does the boring part like timestamps, logs, and chain-of-custody matter even more now that anyone can synthesize a convincing “leak” in an afternoon?Our conversation also zooms-out from individual cases to the wider mix. Many reports collapse to balloons, consumer drones, or reflected light once you have enough data. Some look a lot like foreign reconnaissance or test articles, which raises airspace and infrastructure questions. A small remainder still looks odd after serious review: abrupt accelerations, transmedium paths, signatures that do not match the usual catalog. So rather than chase headlines, the focus stays on a simpler test: what conditions would have to hold for this report to stand up?We also talk about JMill's new MIT course, Confronting Unknowns, which treats UAP as one of several challenge areas for sense-making under pressure. Forrest connects us back to tough tech in general, in which fusion, lunar rovers, new materials (to name just a few areas) all begin as something messy, uncertain, and science fiction, before hard work and big discoveries could make them science fact.So, the aim of the episode and the research we touch on is not to explain every light in the sky, but is instead a conversation on how we may practice how to think when the data are noisy, the stakes are serious, and “we don't know yet” is an honest, useful starting point. Tough tech is, almost by definition about building into uncertainty. UAPs are an extreme example, but the mindset – rigor, curiosity, and a willingness to update one's assumptions – is wholly shared.
There is a particular trick which our Adversary loves to use both to hinder sinners and to disturb saints, and that is to paint the character of God in the darkest possible shades, to twist and pervert the Almighty and All-Merciful God's revelation of himself. In this sermon, preached from three texts, Spurgeon sets out, in the best sense, to vindicate the character of God. While still insisting upon the utter holiness of the Most High, Spurgeon nevertheless makes most clear the compassion of the Lord, and his willingness to save, and his pleadings with those who are lost in the misery of sin, and his provision for them in Christ Jesus to find life and joy and peace, through forgiveness. He emphasises God's delight in salvation, not as a mere idea, but as a sweet reality. As you can imagine, the sermon is peppered with strong reasoning and urgent pleading for sinners who may have the wrong idea of God to understand his gracious heart, as he makes himself known in the Word of God, and to come to him that they might not die, but live.

Before Yeshua healed a single person, before He preached a single sermon, and before He called a single disciple—He waited. Thirty silent years. And when the heavens finally opened over Him, the very first thing the Spirit did was not send Him into ministry… but into the desert. Why? Because the wilderness reveals our hunger and because Yeshua is walking out another story. In Matthew 4, the Adversary whispers to Yeshua, “Turn these stones into bread.” But Yeshua answers with the lesson Israel forgot, the lesson Adam and Eve rushed past, the lesson Esau traded away, the lesson Saul failed—and the lesson we still struggle with: “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” We avoid waiting. We fill the silence. We numb the hunger. But in the desert seasons—ankles breaking, plans collapsing, blessings disguised as disasters and vice versa—God does His deepest work. Gam Zu L'Tovah. This too is for the good.

The 'elections' this week reiterated some things that a number of Black-robed Priests of the Adversary have been making clear for some time now: the Deep State isn't about to let the "will of the people" destroy all their "Beautiful Wickedness." But it isn't that Scripture hasn't been clear on that subject all along. Host Mark Call puts it this way: "The Remnant does NOT Win Elections" Which means the path ahead for His People is still clear.
