After following up on Justice Alito's summer interview, the new birthright-citizenship executive orders, and the Court's record-low approval numbers, we devote the episode to Cisco Systems v. Doe, the Falun Gong surveillance case that closes the door Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain left open for new Alien Tort Statute claims. We try to build a theory of the ATS from first principles — Section 9 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, the law of nations, and the Marbois affair — before running through two decades of the Court narrowing the statute. Then we ask what to make of "door closing" as a phenomenon, from Edwards v. Vannoy to Rucho, and whether the Court would really be stuck if the perfect ATS unicorn finally showed up. Along the way: whether Justice Alito is an I-95 or an Amtrak guy, the seven-case October calendar led by Suncor, Rooker anti-Feldmanism, and a Phoenix bar band called the Blackstone Three.Highlights[00:00:21] Opening: 29 episodes makes a record-breaking season, and the secret to sub-4-hour recording sessions[00:02:28] Justice Alito's WSJ interview with James Taranto: "Obviously I'm here for another term," the vultures, and his high school English teacher's psychoanalysis[00:06:27] How Will became a libertarian: Mr. Flannery, Lexis news alerts for "Ayn Rand," and golfer David Duval[00:09:48] Still no action on the mail-in voting applications; a White House ballroom emergency application expected any day[00:11:15] No rehearing petition in Trump v. Barbara — instead, new executive orders probing the decision's edges[00:15:32] The October calendar: only 7 cases, starting with Suncor — "conservative intuitions in search of a constitutional clause"[00:17:04] Mailbag: Rooker anti-Feldmanism via Lance v. Dennis, and Michael Rosman on whether sex-segregated sports are really "equal opportunity"[00:20:32] Gallup has the Court at 33% approval, a record low — the maximally anti-legitimacy strategy[00:22:35] The main event: Cisco Systems v. Doe — an anonymous person versus a faceless corporation[00:23:16] ATS first principles: Section 9 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, the law of nations as brooding omnipresence, and the Marbois affair[00:37:27] The 1980 revival, Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain, and the door Justice Souter left ajar[00:42:45] Two decades of narrowing: Kiobel, Jesner, Nestlé — and Will's brush with a thriving atrocities practice[00:47:33] Cisco closes the door; the Edwards v. Vannoy parallel, and whether door closing is ever dicta[00:52:33] Door closing as a genre: Vieth v. Jubelirer, Rucho — a Green Bag piece for Richard Re[00:56:36] What about pirates? The Blackstone 3 — the doctrine, and the Phoenix bar band[01:00:18] Implied causes of action, the slow death of Bivens, and the Ex parte Young irony after Trump v. Cook[01:05:19] Scoring the opinion: a win for the Bradley–Goldsmith "Erie algorithm" — or selective originalism?[01:13:33] Sign-off: rate and review — and if we go quiet, Will has been taken by piratesRelevant linksCasesCisco Systems, Inc. v.

We have shared on previous podcasts that there were asylums that had sterilized patients without their knowledge and without their consent. Now, ratchet that up to doing mind-altering experiments on these patients without their knowledge or consent. That is the Allan Memorial Institute. This building had once been a home, but for a time it was like a prison. The atrocities that occurred here have left behind an immense amount of spiritual residue and this nearly always leads to paranormal activity.

The 2026 World Cup has finished and the final two teams, Spain and Argentina, have stirred up old notions of what we call soft power. Sports play a large role in how countries display their soft power, but it can often be confused for cooperation. Indeed all power is contested and soft power is no exception, and the contest is clear when two national teams meet in a sports contest. Examples of soft power interactions in sports include the US beating the USSR in hockey in the 1980 Winter Games or the Soviets defeating the US in basketball at the 1972 Olympics during the height of the Cold War. No sport, however, garners more international interest than soccer (or what the rest of the world calls football). Our guests have written a new book that defines the Cold War rivalry through the lens of ten historic soccer matches. The book is called Cold War Football: A history in Ten matches.

He is the co-author of The American and Soviet Struggle for Hearts and Minds and Hollywood and Israel: a History. Alan McDougall is Professor of History at the University of Guelph.

We'll hear what happened, explore the latest revelations and how Chileans are dealing with their past now.

Some of the devastating stories of World War II were never written down. They weren't shared in schools or remembered by anyone but those who lived them.Pacific Atrocities Education was founded to recover the voices history left out. Founder Jenny Chan traces the mission back to her own grandmother, who survived the occupation of Hong Kong.In this episode, she gives insight into why these stories were buried for so long and their race to preserve them before they're lost forever. Her team has seen firsthand what these stories can do: help survivors feel seen, and build the empathy that keeps history from repeating.Connect with Pacific Atrocities Education:WebsiteInstagramFacebookConnect with Jamie at Truman Charities:FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsiteYouTubeEmail: info@trumancharities.comThis episode was post produced by Podcast Boutique https://podcastboutique.com/
After reading his book on the war in Ukraine, you will understand the significance of this conflict as you never have before. Putin thought he could topple Kyiv in days and convinced himself Ukraine wasn't even a real country, and he could not have made a dumber decision. This is an immensely important subject and a powerful conversation, and I hope everyone listens to it. James Verini writes for The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and National Geographic, among other publications. His journalism has received a National Magazine Award and a George Polk Award. He is the author of They Will Have to Die Now, about the battle that brought down ISIS. I say it on the podcast and will say it here: this book is seminal, heartbreaking, and a beautiful work of reporting.

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
July 2 marked 1,000 days of the current phase of escalated genocide of Palestinians, particularly in Gaza. The Israeli military continues bombing and murdering Palestinians daily despite a ceasefire and blockading food, medicines, and other supplies from entering Gaza. Clearing the FOG speaks with Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma surgeon from the United States who has volunteered in Gaza twice and has spoken out about the atrocities being committed there. He reports on the state of the healthcare system and the illegal detention and torture of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and other Palestinians. Dr. Sidhwa makes the critical point that the United States is behind and responsible for all of the crimes being committed by the Zionist state. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.
Sudan is facing one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the 21st century, yet much of the world is barely paying attention.In this episode, we examine the brutal civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), why many analysts argue this is no longer simply a civil war but a regional proxy conflict, and how foreign powers have helped fuel the violence.We explore the horrific massacres in El Geneina and El-Fasher, the looming threat facing El-Obeid, and why some observers fear another mass killing could be imminent. We also discuss the alleged role of the United Arab Emirates in supporting the RSF, the involvement of regional powers including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Libya, and why international efforts to stop the bloodshed have repeatedly fallen short.Most importantly, we ask why one of the world's largest humanitarian disasters has received so little global attention—and what could happen next if the violence continues unchecked.The origins of Sudan's civil warWho the RSF are and why they are so controversialThe massacres of El Geneina and El-FasherWhy El-Obeid may be the next humanitarian disasterThe role of the UAE and other foreign powersHow regional politics and proxy warfare are shaping the conflictWhy the international response has been so limitedAs the world focuses elsewhere, Sudan stands on the edge of an even greater tragedy. This episode seeks to understand how we got here—and why the consequences may be felt far beyond Sudan's borders.Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of war crimes, ethnic violence, genocide, and mass civilian casualties.#Sudan #Africa #Geopolitics #ProxyWar #HumanitarianCrisis #InternationalRelations #MiddleEast #CurrentAffairs #Podcast #WorldNewsSubstackPatreonWebsiteBooksTwitterTikTok

Sudan's civil war may be entering another catastrophic phase. As I write this, a genocidal militia is massing outside a major city in Sudan, El Obeid. NGOs, the United Nations — and even Donald Trump's State Department — are warning of the potential of a major mass atrocity event should El Obeid fall. Yet, the attack appears imminent. In this episode of Global Dispatches, I speak with Mutasim Ali, Legal Advisor at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, about the looming threat of mass atrocities in El Obeid, Sudan, as the Rapid Support Forces, the RSF, surround and besiege the city. Sudan's civil war has produced one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and yet the international response has fallen far short of the scale of the emergency. Mutasim Ali discusses the worsening conflict, the risk of mass atrocities, and why global expressions of concern have not translated into meaningful action. We discuss the dynamics driving the war, the international actors shaping the conflict, and why Sudan has struggled to command the sustained attention it urgently deserves.

In this episode, we step into one of the darkest chapters of clan history: the Massacre of Eigg. Reading directly from Stuart McHardy's The Well of the Heads, we tell the story of the Smooring of the MacDonalds — the moment invading MacLeods cornered the MacDonalds of ClanRanald hiding in a sea cave on the Isle of Eigg and killed nearly the entire population of the island by lighting brush fires at the cave mouth and suffocating everyone inside.After reading the story straight from the source, we break down a few key details worth a closer look — which MacLeods and which MacDonalds? The importance of Eigg in the history of the Hebrides, and whether this story ever actually took place...Links:Scottish Clans Website - www.scottishclans.infoContribute to the Cause! - https://www.patreon.com/scottishclansBattle Shirts and Clandanas! - https://stores.inksoft.com/the_scottish_clans/shop/homeIn-person or Virtual Scottish Clans Seminar! - Email at thescottishclans@gmail.comYouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@thescottishclans
John Demjanjuk lived for decades as a retired autoworker in suburban Cleveland. Then investigators accused him of being "Ivan the Terrible," one of the most notorious guards at Treblinka. What followed was one of the strangest and most troubling Nazi war-crimes cases of the postwar era: extradition, eyewitness testimony, a death sentence, a reversal, and a final prosecution many years later. In this episode, Michael Shermer talks with Lawrence Douglas, professor at Amherst College and author of The Criminal State: War Atrocity and the Dream of International Justice, about Demjanjuk, Eichmann, Nuremberg, Holocaust denial, and the problem of proving atrocities decades after they happened. How reliable is eyewitness memory after 40 or 50 years? What did Nuremberg actually establish? Was Eichmann really just a bureaucrat? And can a courtroom ever deliver justice for crimes almost too large to comprehend? Lawrence Douglas is the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought at Amherst College and a Guggenheim fellow. His many books include The Right Wrong Man and The Memory of Judgment. His writing has appeared in leading publications such as Harper's, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. His new book is The Criminal State: War Atrocity and the Dream of International Justice.

The Criminal State: War, Atrocity, and the Dream of International Justice (Princeton University Press, 2026) offers a gripping account of how law has confronted the most radical forms of state violence. Beautifully written, broad in scope, and bracingly original, it weaves history with political thought to trace the shifting legal response to state aggression and atrocities, from Leopold's rule over the Congo to Putin's war in Ukraine. At its heart is Lawrence Douglas's fresh interpretation of the law's reckoning with Nazi aggression and atrocity. He shows how the Nuremberg trials challenged centuries of thought—rooted in Hobbes and other canonical thinkers—that shielded sovereigns from legal scrutiny. Yet Nuremberg's bid to frame aggression as the cornerstone of a new order of international criminal law largely failed, giving way to a system now centrally concerned with crimes against humanity and genocide—while leaving unresolved the legality and effectiveness of using force to stop the worst violations of human rights. Providing rare historical perspective on the dilemmas facing international courts, The Criminal State is a sweeping, provocative history of the struggle to bring perpetrators of state violence to justice. Our guest is Professor Lawrence Douglas, who is the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence and Social Thought at Amherst College. Our host is Eleonora Mattiacci, an Associate Professor of Political Science at Amherst College. She is the author of "Volatile States in International Politics" (Oxford University Press, 2023).

The Criminal State: War, Atrocity, and the Dream of International Justice (Princeton University Press, 2026) offers a gripping account of how law has confronted the most radical forms of state violence. Beautifully written, broad in scope, and bracingly original, it weaves history with political thought to trace the shifting legal response to state aggression and atrocities, from Leopold's rule over the Congo to Putin's war in Ukraine. At its heart is Lawrence Douglas's fresh interpretation of the law's reckoning with Nazi aggression and atrocity. He shows how the Nuremberg trials challenged centuries of thought—rooted in Hobbes and other canonical thinkers—that shielded sovereigns from legal scrutiny.

The film's trailer depicts sympathetic protagonists being brutally victimized by Iranian authorities, and concludes with the image of fighter jets soaring overhead while an English-captioned Persian voiceover says "If Iran gets liberated, celebrate for me. Enjoy it for us!" Reading by Tim Foley.
In this episode of Key Battles of American History, James speaks with Jenny Chan, director of Pacific Atrocities Education, about the often-overlooked human dimension of the Pacific War. We explore how events like the Nanjing Massacre, the Bataan Death March, and atrocities in the Philippines and Okinawa complicate traditional narratives of American military victory by highlighting their humanitarian consequences. We discuss the challenges of combating denialism and how her organization uses education and digital archives to preserve these histories. Finally, Chan makes the case that the most urgent “battle” today is educational: ensuring these stories are remembered and understood in a way that informs present-day global tensions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Edward J. Larson details how, during a grueling retreat through New Jersey, Thomas Paine's The American Crisisrevitalized colonial spirits. British and Hessian atrocities against civilians further alienated the population and strengthened the resolve for independence. (13/16)1780
Ed. note: Please be advised that there's some very heavy subject matter discussed in this episode. In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. Jenny left San Francisco for college, heading east to go to school at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Part of it was wanting a change of scenery. As she says, she "wanted to see snow." But all it took was a few winters before she realized how good the weather in SF is. She also wanted to return to help take care of her mom, who was getting older. This was around the time that Jenny went to China and came back determined to spread the untold histories of what happened in her homeland during WWII. The nonprofit learning curve was steep, and it was almost certainly going to mean shifting gears lifestyle-wise, due to not having as much income. During the first year of Pacific Atrocities Education's life, it was fiscally sponsored by Intersection for the Arts, an SF-based arts nonprofit. Jenny enrolled in and went to as many workshops as she could. She felt generally well-respected and taken care of. With her nascent nonprofit off and running, Jenny traveled to a part of China she had never been to before—Shanxi—to visit and talk with women who survived the war as so-called comfort women (think "sex slaves"). Jenny goes on a sidebar here to talk about some of the things the Japanese did to women during their occupation of China. It involved the Japanese not wanting their soldiers to pick up STDs while in a foreign country. If they could control the situation, i.e., enslave Chinese women to have sex with their soldiers, they could solve that "problem." So disgusting. Hearing these women's stories wasn't easy for Jenny. One story involved one of the women being pregnant after the war ended. She went back to live with her mother, who helped her along. When the baby was born, they abandoned it. Just horrible all around. We sidebar, a little, to talk about the ripple effect of wars and how it's not just tanks and bombs and guns and soldiers fighting other soldiers. There are untold numbers of innocent folks caught up in the destruction, folks whose lives are forever upended, if they even survive. Jenny says that the experience on that trip to China gave her perspective on her own childhood in the Tenderloin. She thought maybe it wasn't so bad after all. It wasn't only women in China. She went and spoke with women in California's Central Coast area about their own experiences as "comfort women." These were Filipinas who relocated to the US after the war. Most of their families didn't know their stories. And it wasn't until the Obama era that light started to be shone on them and what they'd been through. Obama's administration was the first to recognize them, but it was complicated, to say the least. Jenny talks about the delicacy of what she set out to do. Specifically, the difficulty of balancing the need to share these stories, but also to be respectful of the lives impacted by them. In addition to the research she was undertaking for Pacific Atrocities Education, Jenny was also writing a book on the topic. She was able to scan documents from the National Archives, documents the US has due to its occupation of Japan following World War II. One of the more alarming things she found in digging through archives was that the United States traded immunity with Japan's Unit 731 scientists, whose work involved developing biological weapons. Yikes. She goes on to describe other atrocious acts the Japanese undertook in China, stuff so horrible and inhumane I have trouble enumerating it here. I ask Jenny how she handles learning about such terrible stuff. She chalks it up to its being mission-driven work. We chat a little about how the people doing bad things never get held accountable, something true to this day. That immunity mentioned above was given to the Japanese scientists in exchange for the information contained in their research of biological weapons, naturally. You read that right: The US looked the other way while essentially poaching incredibly deadly weapons from its vanquished enemy. Please visit pacificatrocities.org to learn more and get involved.

About the Guest: George Gittoes is an acclaimed Australian artist, photographer, filmmaker, and writer known for work centred on conflict zones. For more than four decades, he has documented the realities of war, and he is widely recognised as a leading Australian war artist. He co-founded the Yellow House artists’ collective in Sydney in 1969/70 and later helped establish the Yellow House in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, in 2011. Gittoes has won the Blake Prize for Religious Art twice, the Wynne Prize, and the Sydney Peace Prize in 2015. Key Takeaways: Atrocities are deeply rooted in crimes against humanity, involving extreme acts of cruelty and violence that demand global attention and action. George Gittoes' experiences in conflict zones highlight the power of art to restore dignity and foster peace in war-torn regions. The episode underscores the significance of understanding human dignity through a theological lens, emphasising creativity over destruction. The film "Nuremberg" explores the historic trial of Nazi war criminals and the psychological complexity behind such heinous acts. Discourse around global justice systems reveals both flaws and the essential need for mechanisms to address and prevent future atrocities. Notable Quotes: "It's only art that can save humanity." - George Gittoes "When you dehumanise others, you're actually reducing yourself." - Megan Paul du Trois "I always believe that the good angels are going to win." - George Gittoes "The justification is, I assume the actions of the Israeli government make, make the killing of Jews anywhere justifiable." - Michael Jensen "He's fascinated and attracted as well as repelled by the character who is charming and intelligent and yet deeply evil." - Michael Jensen Resources: George Gittoes' Official Website See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ed. note: We recorded this episode outside on a windy day near The Bay. Apologies for the wind gusts you'll hear throughout. Jenny Chan found Storied: San Francisco thanks to Toshio from Sad Francisco. Jenny and I kick off her episode talking about Toshio, in fact. Jenny was born in Hong Kong. Growing up, her dad's mom babysat her a lot. Young Jenny really loved anime and would turn it on at grandma's house. When she did this, her Chinese grandmother would get upset, and Jenny didn't know why. She thought maybe her grandma was senile. Later in Jenny's life, when her grandmother passed away and she helped clean and organize her home in China, she discovered items her grandma kept that pointed to a life spent under Japanese occupation before and during World War II. We mentioned anime, but when Jenny was a kid, she just loved Japanese culture all around. She indulged in manga whenever she could save up enough money. As with the anime, her grandma didn't take kindly to these Japanese things in her home. When she was 10, Jenny's parents split up. She and her older brother then joined their mom and moved to the US. When Jenny remarks that she's not sure how her mom did it, we go on a sidebar. Jenny shares that her mom grew up during the time of the US war in Vietnam, so she's a survivor. I add that, simply, women are amazing. In US schools, Jenny learned about the Holocaust. She also learned about Pearl Harbor, but like most school-age kids in this country, it was in the context of what got the US into WWII. Japanese colonialism and dominance in east Asia never really came up. Her family came straight from Hong Kong to San Francisco in 2000. Members of her mom's family had already been here, dating back to the Seventies and Eighties. Jenny and her mom and brother lived in the Tenderloin when they arrived. She saw the dirty streets in that hood and wondered why they traded Hong Kong skyscraper living for this. Her mom told her that for many reasons, including not having to buy school uniforms, life in SF was more affordable. Jenny's run of schools in The City—Lafayette, Presidio, Washington High. I ask her if she experienced culture shock moving halfway around the world. She says yes and points to knowing only people from Hong Kong when she lived there. Here, she quickly learned that there are folks from all over China and differences abound. She says also that Chinese people she met in San Francisco or The Bay were stuck in whatever era they moved here during, and that was sometimes startling. We go on a sidebar here after Jenny asks me about my own move here from Texas in 2000. Jenny spent a lot of time in the school library, including during lunches. She dedicated herself to learning from an early age. She recognized the hardships her family was going through and saw education as a way to climb out of that. She used her 45-minute Muni commutes from the Tenderloin to school in the Richmond to read and do homework. Her mom worked in restaurants here in The City. Jenny would go with her mom to places like the bank to do the translation. Jenny was learning about life in the US in real time and for practical reasons. At my prompting, Jenny and I rap about all the awesome food in the Little Saigon area of the Tenderloin. I share the story of coming home from my trip to Vietnam and eating at Turtle Tower right away because I missed the food of that incredible country. Jenny lived in the Tenderloin through all her public school days in San Francisco. When her paternal grandmother passed away, she went back to China to clean out her home, as we've mentioned. And that's when Jenny and other members of her family started finding items—military yen, rice-rationing coupons—that pointed to life spent under occupation. Back home, Jenny had found a decent job after college, but was feeling stuck. The revelation of her grandmother's lived experience was a light bulb. It was around this time that Jenny realized a massive hole in her US education. Why didn't she learn about the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, for example? Most of the emphasis was on the war in Europe, with Pearl Harbor and later the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki being the main subjects of the history of war in the Asian theater. In her own words, Jenny went "into a deep rabbit hole" to learn those untold stories. Her first stop was the library, where she discovered books like The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang and The Rising Sun by John Toland. The more she learned, the more she sought existing nonprofits she could join forces with to amplify the stories of the Japanese occupation of China. To her dismay, there weren't any. It was around 2012 or 2013, and Jenny figured that she already knew how to live without much income. And so, she decided to start her own company—a nonprofit dedicated to getting those stories out to the world. Pacific Atrocities Education was born. Check back Thursday for Part 2 with Jenny Chan.

First up, researcher and editor Michelle Eid joins the show to talk about literal framing when it comes to photojournalism, and how extractive dehumanizing journalism turns people's pain and suffering into career-boosting material, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and bolstering the dangerous disconnect that allows atrocities to continue. Michelle highlights the importance of relationship building and archival work, but that how this work is done is critical. Next up, Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield sit down to dissect some recent news that didn't make the news, contextualize what press freedom looks like from the US to Sweden, and why AI should never be in charge of telling us what news is. The post Framing Atrocity: Photojournalism and Press Freedom appeared first on Project Censored.
On today’s episode of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott broadcasts from California with a powerful and wide-ranging program covering politics, national security, and a landmark report on Hamas atrocities. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joins the show to defend his “Great American Road Trip” initiative celebrating America’s 250th anniversary and responds to criticism from Democrats over the project. Scott also speaks with Campus Reform reporter Emily Sturge about colleges hosting private graduation ceremonies for illegal immigrant students and allegations that some schools are helping students avoid ICE enforcement. Congressman Brandon Gill discusses a new House GOP anti-fraud task force investigating Medicaid and social services fraud, while Senator Rand Paul reacts to explosive testimony from a CIA whistleblower alleging intelligence findings on the origins of COVID-19 changed after intervention from Dr. Anthony Fauci. In Hour 2, Kentucky congressional candidate Ed Gallrein discusses his Trump-backed primary challenge to Thomas Massie before Scott conducts an emotional and extensive interview with Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, who led the newly released investigation documenting Hamas’ systematic use of rape and sexual violence during and after the October 7 attacks, including testimony from survivors, hostages, investigators, and medical experts. https://www.chevron.com/america https://www.balanceofnature.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy speaks with war correspondent James Verini, who reported from Ukraine about the devastating 2022 bombing of a theater in Mariupol housing 1500 refugees. James (and photographer Paolo Pellgrin) made his way to survivors of the bombing, and later tracked down every survivor he could find. The result is The Theater: Courage and Survival in the Defining Atrocity of the Ukraine War, a new book that tells stories of ordinary people—students, actors, metal workers, a doctor, a cook—called upon to do extraordinary things. The Theater is cinematic (calling Christopher Nolan!) and horrifying, beautiful and essential, a battle between freedom and authoritarianism that Russia is determined to win—and Ukraine more determined not to lose. “You had the fact that this theater represented Ukrainian culture and the dream of an independent Ukraine,” says James. “On the dark opposite side of that, it represented what Putin and Russia were trying to wipe out, the idea that there is such a thing as Ukrainian culture, that there is such thing as a Ukrainian language... The theater was, if not exactly a metaphor, then the perfect setting for this kind of story, of a young republic now barely more than 30 years old that was fighting for its life.”(Sarah was unable to sit in on this episode, but she'll be listening!) Also discussed:* On why first-person war books should be under 200 pages* A “glandular nostalgia” for the Soviet Union* When you're reporting overseas, “someone is always going to think you're CIA”* One advantage to not speaking the local language* “You can't do what I do and care about money”* Nancy gives thanks for Reason's editorial freedom* How James covered up the smell of pot smoke back in the day* Nancy: still not Jewish!* The Nazi high command was “a cabal of mediocrities”* Salad days at Vanity FairPlus, props for reporters William Langewiesche and Evan Wright, what to eat if you want to be a competitive eater, a great audiobook on New York City excesses in the ‘90s, and much more.Pre-order The Theater, out on May 19. Also on May 19, James will be in conversation with recent Smoke guest Sebastian Junger. Tickets here.Nancy note to self: Less ambition when flipping salmon will forestall another armpit burn
In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Jenny Chan, co-founder of Pacific Atrocities Education. We start the episode with Jenny discussing what Pacific Atrocities Education is and the inspiration behind the organization. We talk about how western narratives overlook and silence stories from World War II in the Asia-Pacific region and the impact of these stories being overlooked and silenced. We discuss the human cost of collective traumas and how historical trauma informs present day mental health. Jenny discusses why it is important to remember difficult histories and how doing such can aid in our self-growth and resilience. Further we discuss how individuals can heal from historical wounds and what steps we need to take to ensure these tragedies do not happen again.Information shared by guests on Psych Talk are reflective of their own values, perspectives, and life experiences. Psych Talk values platforming various perspectives and experiences even if those views are not necessarily reflective of Psych Talk's values and perspectives.

Ian Buruma describes Joseph Goebbels as a master propagandist who used entertainment to distract Berliners from wartime horrors. He explains "unpolitical" as a psychological justification for ignoring Nazi atrocities. The segment also details the complex Nuremberg racial laws used to systematically categorize and persecute Jewish populations. (2/16)1910 BERLIN
James Verini is an American long-form journalist and author who writes for The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic and other outlets. The Pulitzer Center describes him as a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine and National Geographic whose work has won both a National Magazine Award and a George Polk Award. He is also the author of They Will Have to Die Now: Mosul and the Fall of the Caliphate, about the battle to retake Mosul from ISIS.On Ukraine, Verini's major reporting arc includes “In the Trenches of Ukraine's Forever War” from January 2022, “Surviving the Siege of Kharkiv” from May 2022, “The Theater” / “Witness to the Massacre in Mariupol” from September 2022, “The Collaborators” from November 2023, and a 2025 New Yorker essay on Alexander Dugin and the ideological roots of Russia's war. His own site describes the Donbas before the full-scale invasion as a “deadlocked, time-warped conflict,” Kharkiv as a city Russia battered but failed to take, and the Mariupol theater bombing as “the defining atrocity of the Ukraine War.” (James Verini)----------LINKS:https://jamesverini.com/books/https://www.amazon.co.uk/Theater-Courage-Survival-Defining-Atrocity/dp/1668062208/ref=sr_1_2https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Theater/James-Verini/9781668062203https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Verinihttps://www.newyorker.com/contributors/james-verinihttps://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/james-verinihttps://pulitzercenter.org/people/james-verini----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Car4Ukrainehttps://car4ukraine.com/en-US/campaignsDzyga's Pawhttps://dzygaspaw.com/projectsSuperhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

On today's episode, Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sits down with Lawrence Douglas, the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought at Amherst College to discuss Douglas's new book, “The Criminal State: War, Atrocity, and the Dream of International Justice.”They talk about how and why international criminal justice shifted from a focus at Nuremberg on the crime of aggression to an “atrocity paradigm,” as well as the “belatedness problem” and other limitations of atrocity trials. They even get into Douglas's thoughts on casting decisions for Robert Jackson, Herman Göring, and characters in last year's film “Nuremberg.” To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
