Unser heutiger Gast hat an der Freien Universität Berlin Lateinamerikanistik, Politik und Publizistik studiert. Während ihres Studiums verbrachte sie Auslandsjahre an der Universidad de Granada und der Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, um ihre Kenntnisse in Politikwissenschaft und Lateinamerikanistik zu vertiefen. Zudem besuchte sie das Ecole des Roches in Frankreich, um ihre Sprachkenntnisse in Französisch auszubauen. Nach ihrer akademischen Laufbahn absolvierte sie eine klassische Journalistenausbildung und arbeitete unter anderem für den NDR und RTL. Anschließend engagierte sie sich bei Campact mit Schwerpunkt auf Kampagnen gegen Rechtspopulismus und Rassismus. Dort entstand auch ihre Initiative „Hate Speech stoppen“, die maßgeblich dazu beitrug, dass das Bundesland Hessen erstmals ein Maßnahmenpaket gegen Hass im Netz in seinen Koalitionsvertrag aufnahm. 2018 gründete sie gemeinsam mit Campact und dem Verein Fearless Democracy die gemeinnützige Organisation HateAid, die sie seither als Geschäftsführerin leitet. Ihr Ziel: Menschenrechtsverletzungen im Internet bekämpfen, Betroffene unterstützen und dafür sorgen, dass digitale Räume sicher und frei zugänglich bleiben. Für ihr Engagement wurde sie bereits mehrfach ausgezeichnet, unter anderem mit dem „Digital Female Leader Award“ und als Ashoka-Fellow. Seit fast 8 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt – statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 470 Gesprächen haben wir mit fast 600 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wie begegnen wir digitaler Gewalt, ohne die Meinungsfreiheit im Netz einzuschränken? Welche Rolle spielen Unternehmen, Politik und Gesellschaft, um eine sichere und respektvolle digitale Kultur zu fördern? Und welchen Beitrag kann eine gemeinnützige Organisation wie HateAid leisten, damit die digitale Transformation zu einer menschlicheren und gerechteren Arbeitswelt führt? Fest steht: Für die Lösung der aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Ideen und Herangehensweisen. Deshalb suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei „On the Way to New Work“ – heute mit Anna-Lena von Hodenberg. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

Shownotes: Reams have been written recently about SDGs, climate change, just transition…… what does it mean in practice? India's National Action Plan on Climate Change emphasises the need for inclusive and sustainable development to ensure it does not fail millions on the margins or without a voice. It would not be presumptuous to say that most people in world are aware of India's demographic dividend. At 21% or 253 million, India is also home to the largest adolescent population in the world of which 120 million are girls. For a just transition and for India to reap the benefits of the demographic dividend by unlocking the potential of its youth, it is crucial that they are empowered with knowledge and skills to combat social and economic exclusion.A majority of India's adolescent girls are on the margins and face numerous challenges including lack of access to education, domestic work, early marriage and pregnancy and financial dependency. There are a myriad of government initiatives and schemes aimed at keeping this group in education in urban and rural area, but long lasting change will be impossible without addressing the deep rooted cultural norms, expectations and stereotypes.This is where organisations like VOICE4Girls, step in, they create safe spaces for girls to have critical conversations around their physical and mental health; recognising, preventing and reporting violence and a space where they can dream. This social enterprise led by Anusha Bharadwaj, has impacted over 3,00,000 girls and boys through their work across 12 different Indian states. In the 125th episode of The

Drawing from her own personal experiences and work with the UN, she and Rufus examine the evolution of human cooperation, the role of identity, and the need for new strategies that emphasize inner development for transformative leadership.They also explore the four key skills taught in the Divinity School—awakened perception, visionary scholarship, crazy wisdom, and passionate action—skills that Bonnitta argues are vital for guiding free and willing participants towards positive change. Their conversation addresses the essential qualities of healthy leadership, voluntary obligation, and effectively managing difficult personalities within conscious communities.You can read more about the Divinity School here.Listen to our first interview with Bonnitta Roy here.Chapters00:01:11 Who gets to build the world we live in and the role of investors 00:07:20 Challenges of large-scale collective action and the role of intrinsic motivation00:12:55 The evolution of human prosociality and cultural factors enabling collective action00:21:35 The importance of identity, evaluative reasoning, and enforced social protocols00:37.25 Circles of trust and transcending the Self 00:53:00 The role of trust and voluntary obligation in community building 01:05:00 The need for transformative leadership and toxicity 01:10:02 The four key leadership skills of the Divinity School About Bonnitta RoyBonnitta Roy teaches insight practices for individuals who are developing meta-cognitive skills, and hosts collective insight retreats for groups interested in breaking away from limiting patterns of thought.

What new vision can pluralism bring to today's universities? Today, founder of Interfaith America Eboo Patel, joins John to discuss how pluralism can be a guiding principle in transforming higher education away from rigid ideological confines towards a more inclusive and dynamic intellectual space.Eboo shares his journey to understanding pluralism. He views pluralism as a way to embrace one's identity while valuing others and notes that the approach to anti-racism in some universities is shifting from helpful to controlling. Ebo believes that pluralism can balance extreme views by fostering intellectual diversity and respectful dialogue. He also suggests ways to create "Pluralist Universities," such as starting pluralism fellowships, doing research for future diversity needs, and developing a liberal arts curriculum that reflects a diverse society. In This Episode:Evolution of anti-racism from perspective to paradigm to coercive regimePersonal narratives and pluralism at the Nantucket ProjectPluralism as navigating between "wokeness" and "whitewashing"Implementation of pluralism in universitiesHistorical roots and modern applications of pluralismRoles of intellectual, identity, values, and agonistic pluralism in higher educationCritique of overemphasis on victimhood in diversity discussionsFor further reading, refer to Eboo Patel's co-authored article with Rebecca Russo on pluralism practices at universities.  About Eboo:Eboo Patel is a civic leader who believes that religious diversity is an essential and inspiring dimension of American democracy.

Under his leadership, Interfaith America has worked with governments, universities, private companies, and civic organizations to make faith a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division. Eboo served on President Obama's Inaugural Faith Council, has given hundreds of keynote addresses, and has written five books, including We Need to Build: Field Notes for Diverse Democracy. He is an Ashoka Fellow and holds a doctorate in the sociology of religion from Oxford University, where he studied on a Rhodes scholarship.

C'è un legame profondo e sempre più esplicito fra guerra e combustibili fossili. C'è sempre stato, lo sappiamo, ma forse non abbiamo a mente come le fonti fossili giochino un ruolo non da poco anche nei conflitti di cui parliamo tutti quotidianamente, quello a gaza e in Libano e quello in Ucraina. Sempre a proposito di conflitti parliamo anche di orrori bellici così come di empatia e obiezione di coscienza.

In this conversation, Zak and Rufus examine the shift that has taken place from a belief in the intrinsic value of the universe to the modernist view that denies the reality of value.Zak explains how this loss of value has contributed to the current metacrisis, impacting areas such as education, architecture, and technology. The concept of "civilizational transvaluation" and the dangers of a potential civilizational collapse during this period of profound change are also discussed. Alongside this, the potential for conscious evolution is explored, which could enable new forms of human cooperation and flourishing—provided that we establish an urgent, coherent discourse around value to address the challenges we are facing. This conversation supports the recent book First Principles and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on CosmoErotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come.

In this episode of Ordinary People, Rufus Pollock speaks with Kyle Kowalski, the founder of Sloww. Kyle shares his journey that led him from a high-powered marketing career to becoming a self-described "student of life" and creator of a digital platform dedicated to the art of living. In 2015 Kyle experienced a turning point that shattered his then current and conventional path and set him off on a deeper quest for meaning and purpose. Kyle candidly shares how he navigated the cognitive dissonance of staying in his unfulfilling job while simultaneously immersing himself in the world of intentional living, minimalism, and spiritual self-inquiry. Kyle's story highlights the power in questioning, learning, and trusting the unfolding of one's life journey. In this episode he shares insights into the stages of ego development, the impact of his family conditioning, and the joyful yet challenging process of transcending one's socialized identity.

He's an ex-marketing executive turned self-education entrepreneur after an existential crisis. In one sentence, his purpose is synthesizing lifelong learning that catalyzes deeper development. But, he's not a professor, philosopher, psychologist, sociologist, anthropologist, scientist, mystic, or guru. He's an interconnector across all those humans and many more—an “independent, inquiring, interdisciplinary integrator” (in other words, it's just him, asking questions, crossing disciplines, and making connections). To keep it simple, you can just call him a “synthesizer,” and Sloww is his synthesis on the art of living for students of life. Over the last decade, Kyle has deeply explored lifelong learning, human development, intentional living, life purpose, mental mastery, and spiritual growth. He shares all his learning and living with 10,000+ email subscribers and 50,000+ social followers.About Rufus Rufus Pollock is an entrepreneur, activist and author as well as a long-term zen practitioner.

In today's episode of Good Authority, Jonathan and Gary Barker engage in a thought-provoking conversation about challenging traditional gender norms and binary labels, particularly those associated with masculinity. They share personal experiences and observations on the harmful effects of toxic masculinity and the importance of creating safe spaces for men to express emotions and open up about their struggles. They also discuss the challenges of expressing emotions and prioritizing mental health in a society that expects men to be stoic and unemotional, and the effects of social media on young people. The conversation highlights the need for ongoing support and dialogue to empower girls and boys and break down barriers that restrict their full equality, while also emphasizing the importance of self-care, empathy, and open communication in fostering a more emotionally authentic and supportive environment for men. Gary Barker, PhD, has been a global voice in engaging men and boys in advancing gender equality, gender justice and positive masculinities for three decades. He is the CEO and co-founder of Equimundo Center for Masculinities and Social Justice, a major contributor to international activism on male allyship in gender equality.

He co-created the International Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES), the largest survey of men's attitudes and behaviors related to violence, fatherhood, and gender equality. He leads Equimundo's State of the World's Fathers reports, which has become a major advocacy platform for the global care economy. He has coordinated Equimundo's partnerships in conflict-affected settings including work on community-based trauma support and restorative justice in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Balkans, the US and Brazil. He advises the UN, the World Bank, national governments, international foundations and corporations on strategies to engage men and boys in promoting gender equality.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Ioana Bauer as the two discuss the important role that cyber-security plays in preventing sexual exploitation. Ioana Bauer Ioana Bauer completed her anti-human trafficking certificate through Vanguard University. She has been a leader in Romania since 2010 in eradicating human trafficking. She has helped pilot survivor engagement projects nationally, internationally through the UN, and through the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Ioana Bauer has impacted policy and legislation, leading an initiative in Romania to remove the statute of limitations for the crime of creating online Child Sexual Abuse materials. She's spearheaded a new award winning protection model compass geared at preventing and identifying trafficking for Ukrainian refugees. Ioana Bauer has been active in the area of protecting human rights and dignity since 2005, and, since 2010, she has dedicated her efforts to addressing human trafficking by leading and shaping prevention activities, developing materials on the issue and conducting capacity building activities. Ioana is an Ashoka Fellow, a 2020 Resilience Fellow with GITOC, and is recognized as one of the women leaders advancing the UN SDGs globally. Key Points The Ad Hoc Committee's International Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes has faced challenges in reaching a consensus among countries because of the tension between privacy and human rights. It is because online and off-line identities and lives have become increasingly interconnected, that a convention like the Ad Hoc Committee's is necessary; to look into how this interconnectedness impacts children and vulnerable groups. Survivor voices should be heard and present in spaces like the convention, as they are directly impacted by the issues being discussed, negotiated, and decided on. Takedown mechanisms often re-traumatize survivors, putting them through a lengthy process that does not ensure takedown.  Resources Ad Hoc Committee to Elaborate a Comprehensive International Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime  eLiberare eLiberare Position Paper We Protect: Global Threat Assessment 2023 Episode 304 – European Perspectives, with Ioana Bauer Episode 282 – Crisis Prevention of Ukraine Refugee Trafficking, with Ioana Bauer Transcript Sandra Morgan 0:14 Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast here at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice in Orange County, California. This is episode #322 with Ioana Bauer, The Intersection of Cyber Security and Sexual Exploitation. My name is Dr. Sandie Morgan. This is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Today, we are going to have a conversation about keeping our communities, our families, our children, safe online. Ioana, it's great to be here, and I've been following your work on the Ad Hoc Committee to Elaborate a Comprehensive International Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies, I have to take a breath, for Criminal Purposes in hopes to reach consensus for a global framework to address cyber dependent criminality. Now this is happening in the space created by the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime, and it's especially significant in our spaces where we work with those who have been sexually exploited, particularly in online spaces, sextortion, pornography, all of those aspects. We talk about that right here in Orange County at Vanguard University, and we discuss the issues around sextortion. Even here, we have cases where our local youth have been exploited by traffickers on other continents, in Africa, in the Middle East, in South America, so this is a global issue.

In this month's Citizens' Climate Radio episode, Rob Hopkins, one of the founders of the Transition Town movement, shows us how playful imagination can lead to real-world solutions, and you will discover how a life-sized whale made of plastic bags brought a community together to pass groundbreaking legislation. Artist Carrie Ziegler shares her extraordinary project that mobilized hundreds of schoolchildren to make a powerful statement about plastic pollution. In the Nerd Corner, Dana Nuccatelli tackles the big question: is a carbon price still effective in a post-Inflation Reduction Act world?  Rob Hopkins, Time Traveler and Creative Climate Change Campaigner Rob Hopkins, co-founder of the Transition Network and Transition Town Totnes, and author of several influential books, including “The Transition Handbook” and “From What Is to What If: Unleashing the Power of Imagination to Create the Future We Want,” believes that playful imagination is crucial for tackling climate change. An Ashoka Fellow with a PhD from the University of Plymouth and two honorary doctorates, Rob encourages communities to adopt sustainable practices that promote self-sufficiency and environmental stewardship. "My work is about finding positive solutions to climate change," says Rob, who also engages in printmaking in his spare time. His approach to climate activism is deeply rooted in the power of imagination, urging people to envision a future where collective action has transformed our world for the better. One of Rob's most innovative techniques involves time travel exercises, where he guides participants to imagine themselves in the year 2030 or beyond, a time shaped by years of dedicated environmental efforts. "I always remind people, ten years is actually a long, long time in terms of things that can happen," he explains. Participants universally envision a cleaner, more content, and more connected world through these exercises. Rob's ability to inspire others by helping them create a "new north star" in their lives, where a low-carbon future feels "delicious and irresistible," makes his perspective both inventive and motivating. As he puts it, "We need to cultivate and nurture in people the most profound longing for a low-carbon future." Rob Hopkins hosts the podcast From What If to What Next, which explores imaginative solutions to some of the world's biggest challenges. You can learn more about Rob, his books, and the Transition Town movement by visiting his website. You can watch the film, Transition 2.0 for free on YouTube. It is “an inspirational immersion in the Transition movement, gathering stories from around the world of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.” Additionally, check out his latest projects, the Ministry of Imagination Manifesto and Field Recordings from the Future. Rob's forthcoming book, “How to Fall in Love with the Future,” is set to be released next year. In November 2022, Rob was honored as an Honorary Citizen of Liège in Belgium.

Collaborative Art Meets Activism: Carrie Ziegler's Whale Project Sparks Change Carrie Ziegler is a collaborative artist based in Olympia, Washington, whose passion lies in creating large-scale art projects that inspire positive change. By working with schools, nonprofits, and local governments, Carrie brings together hundreds, sometimes thousands, of individuals to address environmental and social justice issues through art.  One of her most impactful projects involved creating a life-sized gray whale made entirely of plastic bags and trash, engaging over 900 children and adults. "I decided to do a project around that," she explains, reflecting on her mission to end the use of single-use plastic bags. "We created this whale, this life-sized gray whale out of plastic bags and other trash." This incredible undertaking educated participants about marine biology and plastic pollution and became a powerful symbol in the community, helping to shift public opinion and inspire legislative change. Carrie's work is a testament to the power of art in activism. The whale, modeled after a real whale found with plastic in its stomach, was publicly unveiled at the annual Procession of the Species celebration, where thousands witnessed its impact. "There were actually council members who invited me to bring the whale to their city council meetings," Carrie recounts, highlighting the project's role in successfully implementing plastic bag bans across local jurisdictions. However, her work's true success lies in the personal empowerment it fosters. "There were kids, particularly middle school kids, who talked about how they felt personally responsible for that ban on plastic bags," she shares. Carrie's projects provide participants with a sense of ownership and accomplishment, proving that collaborative art can indeed change the world. Visit Carrie Ziegler's website to learn more about her inspiring projects, read her journal, and watch videos.

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo Spaces aqui en Twitter que se convertirá en nuestro podcast 294 en Buscadores de la verdad. Hoy hablaremos sobre como las elites psicopatas manejan la verdad para hacerla aparecer como mentiras o bulos o directamente sacarla del mercado de lo que se vende en las redes sociales. El subdirector de la CIA 14 Robert M. Gates dio un discurso en diciembre de 1987 en la universidad Harvard Kennedy School of Government en Washington, D.C. Allí exponía como la CIA y el gobierno de USA habían decidido colaborar con esta universidad para obtener acceso a las mentes mas brillantes. La Universidad acepto con la condición de que dicha relación fuese en abierto. El periodista de investigación Daniel Golden nos mostraba esta y otras relaciones en su libro “Escuelas de espías: cómo la CIA, el FBI y la inteligencia extranjera explotan secretamente las universidades de Estados Unidos”. Actualmente dicha universidad permite que la agencia envíe oficiales al programa de mitad de carrera en la Escuela de Gobierno Kennedy mientras continúan actuando encubiertos, con el conocimiento de la universidad mientras sus compañeros de estudios, a menudo actores de alto perfil o que pronto lo serán en el mundo de la diplomacia internacional, se mantienen en la ignorancia. Les cuento todo esto para decirles que detrás de algunos de los fact Checkers como Maldito Bulo esta precisamente el Harvard Kennedy School of Government a través de First Draft, una coalición sin fines de lucro creada por nueve socios fundadores en junio de 2015, brindando orientación práctica y ética sobre cómo encontrar, verificar y publicar contenido procedente de la web social. O sea, la CIA nos dice lo que es real y lo que no. Por supuesto La Open Foundation de George Soros también contribuye con una financiación básica para Maldito bulo. En la propia web de Maldito Bulo podemos leer: “Nuestra cofundadora y CEO, Clara Jiménez Cruz, fue elegida Ashoka Fellow en 2019. Ashoka es una fundación sin ánimo de lucro, independiente y aconfesional, y no depende de ningún órgano público o privado que se ha erigido como la organización de referencia en el campo del emprendimiento social y en la actualidad cuenta con una comunidad de más de 3.500 Emprendedores Sociales y 300 Escuelas Changemaker en todo el mundo.” ¿Qué es eso de Ashoka y de que va ese tema de los changemakers, los agentes de cambio o emprendedores sociales? Bueno, gracias a los magníficos programas de Desmontando a Babylon que dejare en la descripción del podcast podréis saber más sobre estas fundaciones supuestamente sin animo de lucro, concretamente sobre la Fundación Ashoka y la Fundación Avina. Decir que el fundador de Ashoka, Bill Drayton, recibió el Premio Príncipe de Asturias en Cooperación Internacional en 2011. En el informe Memora de 2014 de AVINA, podemos leer: “AVINA 20 años. Fundación Ashoka, liderazgo potenciado (…). En números, entre 1994 y 2009, Avina ha invertido casi 30 millones de dólares en Ashoka y sus fellows, tanto en América Latina como a nivel global. Esto hizo posible que Ashoka estuviese vinculada en 2010, con más de 1.700 emprendedores sociales, que logran alta incidencia política”, esto incluye a Jerónimo Aguado presidente perpetuo de la Plataforma Rural o a Pedro Arrojo, presidente de la Fundación Nueva Cultura del agua, diputado por Podemos y Relator Especial sobre los derechos humanos al agua potable y al saneamiento por la ONU. Ambos como vemos muy vinculados con la izquierda y con la sostenibilidad…¿pero la sostenibilidad de quién concretamente? Estas supuestas organizaciones tan sostenibles y que buscan el ecologismo y la paz tapan el genocidio del amianto. Los principales magnates de su manejo en el siglo XX, básicamente unas cuantas familias, entre ellas la suiza Schmidheiny y la belga Emsens y De Cartier, tratan desesperadamente de cubrir con un velo filantrópico sus atroces crímenes. Es notable el caso de Schmidheiny que desde 1994 ha creado la fundación AVINA y se ha dedicado a cooptar líderes de movimientos sociales y ONGs a los que ha alimentado financieramente con este dinero de sangre. Os voy a leer un extracto de varios artículos publicados en Rebelión sobre este tema, y lo hago mientras veo como la enorme fabrica radicada en Manises, Elcano, la empresa estatal destinada a construir enormes motores y todo tipo de maquinaria auxiliar para buques y puertos tiene todos sus tejados repletos de uralita, o sea, amianto que nadie se atreve a retirar. “Estos magnates y sus familias no tienen fortuna suficiente para reparar el daño causado en el siglo XX. Hay que erradicar a AVINA del panorama internacional y hay que exigir a sus cooptados (socios-líderes, emprendedores, organizaciones, etc.) que pidan públicamente perdón por su colaboración con genocidas y resarzan a las víctimas con el dinero que han recibido. Mientras tanto no es de recibo que estos personajes, algunos famosos, se arrimen ahora a partidos para lavar su imagen. Es el caso de dos de ellos muy conocidos: uno llamado Pedro Arrojo, diputado por Podemos, que se ha retirado de AVINA al ser presionado dando las gracias, o de Jerónimo Aguado, que fue candidato de Podemos al Senado, que no ha respirado públicamente contra AVINA. O es el caso de una parte de los jesuitas que han premiado a Schmidheiny con un doctorado honoris causa por la Universidad Católica André Bello de Caracas y lo tienen como fuente de financiación de algunas de sus obras. AVINA aparece como gran financiador de todas estas operaciones de intromisión en la sociedad civil organizada. Esta fundación es obra de su fundador Stephan Schmidheiny, magnate del amianto en el mundo durante el siglo XX, incluyendo a su familia. Este personaje ha sido condenado a 18 años de cárcel por un Tribunal de Turín, sentencia, anulada en el Supremo por prescripción del delito, que no por su inexistencia. Y para que quede claro, el fiscal que llevó el caso lo acusó públicamente de “asesino en serie” y de “terrorista”, y el juez que lo condenó lo comparó con Hitler. Se le juzgaba por la muerte de más de dos mil personas y mil enfermados por trabajar en sus fábricas de cuatro pueblos cercanos a Turín. En uno de ellos, Casale-Monferrato, de 33.000 habitantes, hasta la fecha han muerto cerca de 3.000 a causa del amianto. Y aunque la fábrica cerró en 1986 aún muere una persona a la semana en este pueblo. A él y a su familia, que dominaron el muy rentable negocio del amianto en el mundo en el siglo XX, se les atribuyen más de 300.000 muertes por este mineral, en más de 30 países. Y las que quedan a causa del amianto que sigue instalado: millones de toneladas esparcidas por viviendas, fábricas, calles, pueblos, etc. Muy bien se le puede aplicar el calificativo de genocida (lo sabía, actuó sistemáticamente y ha hecho un daño masivo en los trabajadores y en sus familias, que son las condiciones con que, las leyes penales relativas a crímenes contra la humanidad, sostienen). Con ese dinero teñido de sangre financia su fundación AVINA, y con ese mismo dinero teñido de sangre, financia a Ashoka de forma reiterada y prominente como hemos visto. Sin ese dinero los Pedro Arrojo, Jerónimo Aguado y demás cooptados no podrían haber disfrutado de la financiación recibida.” Así que ya sabéis de dónde procede la idea y la financiación de todos estos nuevos inquisidores que se creen en posesión de la verdad. Tan solo tenéis que nombrarles quienes son sus padrinos y la palabra amianto para que se diluyan cual azucarillo en vaso de agua. Y ahora vamos a hablar con nuestros contertulios sobre como se censura la opinión libre en las redes sociales y algunas de las sibilinas formas con las que impiden que la gente “normal” se aperciba de que está siendo pastoreada como ganado. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Mucho antes de que existiese internet ni las redes sociales, sobretodo en los países anglosajones, la gente se agrupaba y era motivada a hacer cosas nuevas a través de grupos como la teosofía. Este grupo fue creado entre otros por la conocida como madame Blavatsky. “Masones, cabalistas, espiritistas, curanderos, espías y satanistas paladistas como el secretario de Mazzini…el monstruo nacía con todas las cabezas posibles y se extendió como la pólvora por todo el mundo. Teniendo entre sus filas a gente tan relevante como el inventor del béisbol el general Abner Doubleday, curiosamente un invento masónico al igual que el futbol.” Fuente: Peter Washington, El Mandril de Madame Blavatsky, pág 63 Ernesto Mila en su libro “Hijos de la Teosofía. El ocultismo contemporáneo UNA RELIGION MUNDIAL PARA UN GOBIERNO MUNDIAL” nos cuenta como la teosofía pudo haber llegado a ser la religión del Nuevo Orden Secular si no se hubieran dado dos condiciones que dieron al traste con todo el plan: La Segunda Guerra Mundial donde ninguna religión podría mantenerse al margen de alguna de las partes en contienda y continuar siendo respetada y un mesías indio, Krishnamurti, que decidió no seguir aceptando las trampas de la teosofía. Una de las impulsoras del feminismo, la teósofa, masona y esoterista Annie Besant sustituyó a Helena Petrona Blavatsky al frente de la sociedad teosófica. Tras Besant, tomó las riendas Alice Bailey y su marido, Foster Bailey, un conocido masón de grado 32. Habiendo asumido el liderazgo de la Sociedad Teosófica juntos, ellos formularon y construyeron las bases de lo que ahora se refiere como el Movimiento Nueva Era. No les tomó ningún esfuerzo conciliar sus simpatías por los demonios y crearon la Compañía de Publicaciones Lucifer, junto con la revista teosófica “Lucifer”. Más tarde, dándose cuenta de que el mundo cristiano en ese momento, aún no había sido suficientemente minado culturalmente, y que no podían airear su abierta inclinación por la religión satánica, renombraron su proyecto como “la Empresa de Publicaciones Lucis”. Inicialmente, la Conspiración de Acuario fue un proyecto secreto del Gobierno de Estados Unidos asignado al Stanford Research Institute (SRI) y creado en 1946 por el Instituto Tavistock de Inglaterra con el fin de estudiar de qué manera afectan a la sociedad las tendencias sociales y culturales de reciente creación como el libertarismo, el libertarismo de izquierdas, el liberalismo, el socialismo, el anarquismo, el comunismo, el materialismo, el naturismo, el misticismo, el hedonismo, la espiritualidad, el ecologismo, el feminismo, la New Age y muchas otras orientaciones de la sociedad. Hubo un informe acerca de la Conspiración de Acuario, y se publicó en 1974 en Estados Unidos con el nombre en clave de “The Changing Images of Man”, informe dirigido por un panel de veintitrés expertos en controlar la mente; entre ellos, la antropóloga Margaret Mead, el psicólogo conductista B. F. Skinner, Ervin Laszlo, de las Naciones Unidas y sir Geoffrey Vickers, de la Inteligencia Británica. El objetivo del estudio llevado a cabo por el Stanford Research Institute es que la humanidad deje de desear el progreso industrial a favor de la "espiritualidad". El profesor Willis Harmon, supervisor de este proyecto y "futurista" cuya especialidad es promover un paradigma social postindustrial, explica: "Nuestro sistema de tecnología, sumamente desarrollado, lleva aparejadas mayores vulnerabilidades y fallos. De hecho, el alcance y el impacto derivados de los problemas sociales que están apareciendo en la actualidad plantean una seria amenaza a nuestra civilización (...). Si nuestras predicciones sobre el futuro demuestran ser acertadas, es de esperar que los problemas asociados a esta tendencia se vuelvan más graves y universales y ocurran con mucha rapidez." El estudio llega a la conclusión perversa de que debemos cambiar cuanto antes la imagen industrial del hombre: "las imágenes del hombre que han dominado durante los dos últimos siglos no serán adecuadas en la era posindustrial." Lo que buscan estos "ingenieros sociales" es el concepto y la imagen de un hombre espiritual, sumiso, dependiente, ablandado con drogas y productos farmacéuticos. El informe termina prediciendo que hay numerosos movimientos sociales que pueden terminar desembocando en una imagen nueva e inspiradora, indicadores del posible surgimiento de una imagen nueva de la sociedad: la participación de los jóvenes en los procesos políticos, el movimiento de liberación de la mujer, la rebelión de los jóvenes contra los errores de la sociedad, la revelación de la responsabilidad social de las empresas, la brecha generacional como modelo de cambio, la tendencia antitecnológica de muchos jóvenes, la experimentación con nuevas estructuras familiares y nuevas relaciones interpersonales, el surgimiento de comunas como estilo de vida alternativo, el surgimiento de movimientos conservacionistas/ecologistas, el aumento de interés por los puntos de vista religiosos y filosóficos orientales, un renovado interés por el cristianismo "fundamentalista", la preocupación de los sindicatos por la calidad del entorno de trabajo, un interés creciente por la meditación y otras disciplinas espirituales, un mayor interés por el proceso de "autorrealización". El profesor Willis Harmon así promovía un paradigma social postindustrial como versión popular del método para manipular o "ablandar", según los manuales del Instituto Tavistock, a Estados Unidos primero, para exportar el modelo estadounidense al resto del mundo. Ablandado de este modo, Estados Unidos se consideraba que ya estaba maduro para la introducción de drogas. Esto también era parte integral de la Conspiración de Acuario. La proliferación del consumo de drogas fue uno de los temas que se estudiaron en la Unidad de Investigación de Ciencias Políticas del Centro Columbus que tenía el Instituto Tavistock en la Universidad de Sussex. Se lo conocía como el centro de "conmociones de futuro", un nombre dado a la psicología orientada al futuro y diseñada para manipular a grupos enteros de población. Estados Unidos sería programado para acostumbrarse de tal modo a esos cambios planificados que resultase difícil percibirlos cuando tuvieran lugar. Tan solo hace falta unir los puntos para darnos cuenta que estos nuevos Changemakers derivan de aquella idea de cambio de la imagen del hombre. Son la punta de lanza de las multinacionales y el poder omnímodo que lo devora todo a su paso. Los adláteres de los lideres que vuelan en jet privado por todo el mundo y nos dicen que los que contaminamos somos nosotros. Estos agentes de cambio no quieren cambiar nada realmente, tan solo quieren hacernos ver que las “conmociones futuras” de las que se hablaba en ese informe de 1974 ya están aqui, ya saben el tan cacareado cambio climático, y todas las otras tonterías que pregona la Agenda 2030. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo Spaces aqui en Twitter que se convertirá en nuestro podcast 294 en Buscadores de la verdad. Hoy hablaremos sobre como las elites psicopatas manejan la verdad para hacerla aparecer como mentiras o bulos o directamente sacarla del mercado de lo que se vende en las redes sociales. El subdirector de la CIA 14 Robert M. Gates dio un discurso en diciembre de 1987 en la universidad Harvard Kennedy School of Government en Washington, D.C. Allí exponía como la CIA y el gobierno de USA habían decidido colaborar con esta universidad para obtener acceso a las mentes mas brillantes. La Universidad acepto con la condición de que dicha relación fuese en abierto. El periodista de investigación Daniel Golden nos mostraba esta y otras relaciones en su libro “Escuelas de espías: cómo la CIA, el FBI y la inteligencia extranjera explotan secretamente las universidades de Estados Unidos”. Actualmente dicha universidad permite que la agencia envíe oficiales al programa de mitad de carrera en la Escuela de Gobierno Kennedy mientras continúan actuando encubiertos, con el conocimiento de la universidad mientras sus compañeros de estudios, a menudo actores de alto perfil o que pronto lo serán en el mundo de la diplomacia internacional, se mantienen en la ignorancia. Les cuento todo esto para decirles que detrás de algunos de los fact Checkers como Maldito Bulo esta precisamente el Harvard Kennedy School of Government a través de First Draft, una coalición sin fines de lucro creada por nueve socios fundadores en junio de 2015, brindando orientación práctica y ética sobre cómo encontrar, verificar y publicar contenido procedente de la web social. O sea, la CIA nos dice lo que es real y lo que no. Por supuesto La Open Foundation de George Soros también contribuye con una financiación básica para Maldito bulo. En la propia web de Maldito Bulo podemos leer: “Nuestra cofundadora y CEO, Clara Jiménez Cruz, fue elegida Ashoka Fellow en 2019. Ashoka es una fundación sin ánimo de lucro, independiente y aconfesional, y no depende de ningún órgano público o privado que se ha erigido como la organización de referencia en el campo del emprendimiento social y en la actualidad cuenta con una comunidad de más de 3.500 Emprendedores Sociales y 300 Escuelas Changemaker en todo el mundo.” ¿Qué es eso de Ashoka y de que va ese tema de los changemakers, los agentes de cambio o emprendedores sociales? Bueno, gracias a los magníficos programas de Desmontando a Babylon que dejare en la descripción del podcast podréis saber más sobre estas fundaciones supuestamente sin animo de lucro, concretamente sobre la Fundación Ashoka y la Fundación Avina. Decir que el fundador de Ashoka, Bill Drayton, recibió el Premio Príncipe de Asturias en Cooperación Internacional en 2011. En el informe Memora de 2014 de AVINA, podemos leer: “AVINA 20 años. Fundación Ashoka, liderazgo potenciado (…). En números, entre 1994 y 2009, Avina ha invertido casi 30 millones de dólares en Ashoka y sus fellows, tanto en América Latina como a nivel global. Esto hizo posible que Ashoka estuviese vinculada en 2010, con más de 1.700 emprendedores sociales, que logran alta incidencia política”, esto incluye a Jerónimo Aguado presidente perpetuo de la Plataforma Rural o a Pedro Arrojo, presidente de la Fundación Nueva Cultura del agua, diputado por Podemos y Relator Especial sobre los derechos humanos al agua potable y al saneamiento por la ONU. Ambos como vemos muy vinculados con la izquierda y con la sostenibilidad…¿pero la sostenibilidad de quién concretamente? Estas supuestas organizaciones tan sostenibles y que buscan el ecologismo y la paz tapan el genocidio del amianto. Los principales magnates de su manejo en el siglo XX, básicamente unas cuantas familias, entre ellas la suiza Schmidheiny y la belga Emsens y De Cartier, tratan desesperadamente de cubrir con un velo filantrópico sus atroces crímenes. Es notable el caso de Schmidheiny que desde 1994 ha creado la fundación AVINA y se ha dedicado a cooptar líderes de movimientos sociales y ONGs a los que ha alimentado financieramente con este dinero de sangre. Os voy a leer un extracto de varios artículos publicados en Rebelión sobre este tema, y lo hago mientras veo como la enorme fabrica radicada en Manises, Elcano, la empresa estatal destinada a construir enormes motores y todo tipo de maquinaria auxiliar para buques y puertos tiene todos sus tejados repletos de uralita, o sea, amianto que nadie se atreve a retirar. “Estos magnates y sus familias no tienen fortuna suficiente para reparar el daño causado en el siglo XX. Hay que erradicar a AVINA del panorama internacional y hay que exigir a sus cooptados (socios-líderes, emprendedores, organizaciones, etc.) que pidan públicamente perdón por su colaboración con genocidas y resarzan a las víctimas con el dinero que han recibido. Mientras tanto no es de recibo que estos personajes, algunos famosos, se arrimen ahora a partidos para lavar su imagen. Es el caso de dos de ellos muy conocidos: uno llamado Pedro Arrojo, diputado por Podemos, que se ha retirado de AVINA al ser presionado dando las gracias, o de Jerónimo Aguado, que fue candidato de Podemos al Senado, que no ha respirado públicamente contra AVINA. O es el caso de una parte de los jesuitas que han premiado a Schmidheiny con un doctorado honoris causa por la Universidad Católica André Bello de Caracas y lo tienen como fuente de financiación de algunas de sus obras. AVINA aparece como gran financiador de todas estas operaciones de intromisión en la sociedad civil organizada. Esta fundación es obra de su fundador Stephan Schmidheiny, magnate del amianto en el mundo durante el siglo XX, incluyendo a su familia. Este personaje ha sido condenado a 18 años de cárcel por un Tribunal de Turín, sentencia, anulada en el Supremo por prescripción del delito, que no por su inexistencia. Y para que quede claro, el fiscal que llevó el caso lo acusó públicamente de “asesino en serie” y de “terrorista”, y el juez que lo condenó lo comparó con Hitler. Se le juzgaba por la muerte de más de dos mil personas y mil enfermados por trabajar en sus fábricas de cuatro pueblos cercanos a Turín. En uno de ellos, Casale-Monferrato, de 33.000 habitantes, hasta la fecha han muerto cerca de 3.000 a causa del amianto. Y aunque la fábrica cerró en 1986 aún muere una persona a la semana en este pueblo. A él y a su familia, que dominaron el muy rentable negocio del amianto en el mundo en el siglo XX, se les atribuyen más de 300.000 muertes por este mineral, en más de 30 países. Y las que quedan a causa del amianto que sigue instalado: millones de toneladas esparcidas por viviendas, fábricas, calles, pueblos, etc. Muy bien se le puede aplicar el calificativo de genocida (lo sabía, actuó sistemáticamente y ha hecho un daño masivo en los trabajadores y en sus familias, que son las condiciones con que, las leyes penales relativas a crímenes contra la humanidad, sostienen). Con ese dinero teñido de sangre financia su fundación AVINA, y con ese mismo dinero teñido de sangre, financia a Ashoka de forma reiterada y prominente como hemos visto. Sin ese dinero los Pedro Arrojo, Jerónimo Aguado y demás cooptados no podrían haber disfrutado de la financiación recibida.” Así que ya sabéis de dónde procede la idea y la financiación de todos estos nuevos inquisidores que se creen en posesión de la verdad. Tan solo tenéis que nombrarles quienes son sus padrinos y la palabra amianto para que se diluyan cual azucarillo en vaso de agua. Y ahora vamos a hablar con nuestros contertulios sobre como se censura la opinión libre en las redes sociales y algunas de las sibilinas formas con las que impiden que la gente “normal” se aperciba de que está siendo pastoreada como ganado. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Mucho antes de que existiese internet ni las redes sociales, sobretodo en los países anglosajones, la gente se agrupaba y era motivada a hacer cosas nuevas a través de grupos como la teosofía. Este grupo fue creado entre otros por la conocida como madame Blavatsky. “Masones, cabalistas, espiritistas, curanderos, espías y satanistas paladistas como el secretario de Mazzini…el monstruo nacía con todas las cabezas posibles y se extendió como la pólvora por todo el mundo.

Namaste and Happy Earth Day.  Over the year, we have collaborated with visionary individuals who have enhanced our discussions and expanded our perspectives on environmental sustainability and stewardship. At PEI, Earth Day 2024 is about expanding the conversation surrounding the environment to include and highlight the narrative of climate change, energy, and sustainable development.   For today's episode, we are rebroadcasting a conversation between PEI colleagues Saumitra Neupane and Ajaya Dixit on Risk and Resilience: Climate Change, Loss and Damage, and the Future of Nepal's Development Pathway. The second of a two-part series, this discussion explores Nepal's ambitious net zero emission goals and the impact of climate change on Nepal's water, energy, and infrastructural development. They also discuss the transboundary nature of the water relationship in the region and how climate change can perturb the existing interdependencies.  Ajaya is the co-founder and advisor at the Institute for Social and Environmental Transition (ISET) – Nepal. He is an Ashoka Fellow and a leading voice in Nepal, and internationally, on issues of climate change adaptation, resilience building, and disaster risk management. We hope you enjoy the conversation! 

“I wanted to work in something that could better the lives of my community,” says Mariana Incarnato, an Ashoka Fellow and the Founder of Doncel, an agency in Buenos Aires Argentina that focuses on changing the way youth who leave residential care are supported as they find their way into adulthood.  A clinical psychologist from Buenos Aires Argentina, she worked in Spain for a few years before returning home to her native Argentina.  “My sense of belonging was very deep,” she says of her desire to return home.  “And my sense of working for social justice was very deep as well.”That injustice motivated her. “Almost  50% of the people live below the poverty line so when you feel you belong to a community, that sense is very strong —that commitment is very strong, if you've had more opportunity than others.”She founded Doncel, an organization dedicated to fighting for the rights of children who were timing out of residential care. Faced with the end of care at the age of 18, young people who have been in the foster care system face an uphill battle. Without family to support them, many end up on the streets, struggling to find their way.  Armed with the knowledge that youth leaving care had knowledge to share, Mariana Incarnato and her band of activists fought to create laws that would put in place supports that would give them the help they needed to take their place in society.As you listen to this episode, consider:Each of us have an opportunity to create a community where we all belong. Which are the communities where you feel a sense of belonging?Mariana believes that if we are fortunate enough to have opportunity, we can do something that could better the lives of others. Where have you been given opportunity?  Is there something you can do to share what you have been given?Who are the voices that need to be heard in society?  What might we learn if we could take the time to listen?Learn more about Mariana's work here.Visit her Ashoka Fellows page here.To learn more about Robert Maggio, the composer of "Where Love is Love," our theme music, please check out his website.To learn more about Suzanne, visit her website.

And so it means taking all of the modalities of exploration and understanding that God has given us and bringing those together.” -Molly Burhans IN THIS EPISODE This episode of Messy Jesus Business podcast is the second of two featuring Sister Julia Walsh's conversation with Catholic cartographer Molly Burhans. In this episode, Burhans and Sister Julia explore the mess of restorative land practices and using data for good. Burhans shares how her team was the first to make a global projection map of Catholic Church jurisdictions since 1801. Sister Julia asks Burhans to comment on what stewardship means to her and what Catholics are meant to be doing in movement spaces related to land justice. They also discuss the complexities of Catholic identity and devotion in a messy Church whose structural sins have caused injustice and abuse. Regarding persisting in faith, Burhans encourages, "we have to be brave.  And if we are the kingdom of God, we can build it. And I'll map it, if you need any help." ABOUT THE GUEST Molly Burhans is an award-winning Catholic environmentalist, cartographer and social entrepreneur. She is the founder of GoodLands, an organization whose mission is to mobilize the Catholic Church to use its landholdings for environmental and humanitarian good.

In this episode Burhans, a cartographer, shares the intertwined stories of how she came to find her Catholic faith in her twenties while developing a love for maps and the power they hold for social and environmental change. Together Burhans and Sister Julia explore how Burhans' appreciation for life and living brought her to environmentalism through a passion for regenerative land usage. Her love for the planet and devotion to the Catholic Church led her to look for something that wasn't yet there — institutions devoted to conservation within the global Catholic Church. She then tells the incredible story of how all these interests — her faith, cartography and environmentalism — brought her into what was almost a cold-call to the Vatican in an attempt to inspire the usage of the Church's landholdings for good.

Key Points Ioana Bauer received the first ever Amplify award at this year's Amplify Luncheon. Prostitution was recently recognized as a form of violence against women by the European Union. It's important to use accurate terminology, like "CSO" (Civil Society Organization) because it reframes something from a negative. Multiple items of legislation, recommendations, and bylaws have made it to their 20th anniversary, raising some concerns about whether or not they should be updated.  A referral mechanism is essentially a helpful roadmap for identifying victims, and guiding them to services/resources in order to access their rights.

In this episode of the Life Itself Podcast, Rufus Pollock sits down with Professor Joseph Henrich to continue the discussion on the study of cultural evolution. In this second part of the conversation continuing from episode 3, Rufus Pollock and Joe Henrich discuss the implications of cultural evolution in relation to modern challenges. They explore the potential for intentional experimentation in creating cultural norms that promote trust, cooperation, group cohesion and a sense of community and belonging.  Rufus and Joe touch upon the idea that Western societies might be running on old values and norms cultivated by historical religious practices. They discuss the need to find ways to renew and revitalize these values, potentially by experimenting with intentional communities that incorporate elements of shared meaning, trust-building, ritual and cooperation. The talk moves on to discuss the idea that by allowing a variety of intentional communities to form and observing which ones thrive, societies could potentially find ways to address current challenges and promote positive cultural evolution.

In this episode of the Life Itself Podcast, Rufus Pollock sits down with Professor Joseph Henrich to continue the discussion on the study of cultural evolution. In this episode the significance of family structures and the church takes center stage in their role towards shaping human societies. Joseph explains that different kinship networks influence behaviors, trust, and cooperation within societies and how the Catholic Church played an unintentionally role in shaping Western societies by implementing rules against cousin marriage and polygyny. These rules inadvertently fostered individualism, trust in non-kin relationships, and analytic thinking. These cultural shifts and networks of horizontal connections led to the development of "WEIRD" psychology – Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic, a topic discussed in Henrich's latest book. These cultural transformations resulted in the development of different psychological traits that help to explain the remarkable economic success, innovations, and current challenges faced by Western societies.

Neil Koenig, former BBC series producer, now ideaXme board advisor and interviewer, talks with Kristina Lunz, Co-founder Centre For Feminist Foreign Policy.

But campaigners believe the rewards of success would be great; as Emily Venturi, a speaker at the 1878 International Congress of Women's Rights in Paris put it, “the world would be transformed”.

In this interview with me for ideaXme, Kristina Lunz talks about the long history of the struggle for women's rights, how a feminist approach could transform the practice of foreign policy, and the reasons why she believes that a world where women had more say in how it was run would be a better place.  KRISTINA LUNZ - BIOGRAPHY Kristina Lunz is co-founder and co-director of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy, an award-winning human rights activist and former advisor to the German Foreign Office.
