Podcast appearances and mentions of Benito Mussolini

Antisemitism, hatred of Jews, is centuries old. It exists today. It's a blight on humankind and must be resisted. However, criticism of Israeli state policies should not be conflated with antisemitism. One should also point out that Islamophobia, hatred of Muslims, is on the rise. Fascism is a political term. It should not be used promiscuously. In the 20th century, it starts with Mussolini, followed by Hitler, Franco, and many others. Today, one sees elements of fascism in the United States and elsewhere. There is exaltation of and obedience to the great leader. There is a celebration of militarism and a mythic past. Italian philosopher and author Umberto Eco says fascist traits include “rejection of modernism,” “irrationalism,” “obsession of a plot,” “contempt for the weak,” and “selective populism.”

La democracia debe progresar, y es fundamental el papel de los jóvenes en ese progreso. Se trata de crear un entorno en el que los jóvenes comprendan que su voz cuenta. Y por otra parte, también es importante comprender que los jóvenes están comprometidos por la crisis climática y que saben que su futuro está condicionado por lo que se avance hoy en materia de medio ambiente. Y por ello, la ONU reconoce la importancia de empoderar a los jóvenes en temas de justicia internacional, como es el clima. 1935.- Alemania: Las leyes de Núremberg despojan a los judíos de la ciudadanía alemana y prohíben su matrimonio con personas de "sangre alemana". 1943: en Italia, Benito Mussolini anuncia la creación del Partido Fascista Republicano. 1954.- En China, el Congreso Nacional Popular aprueba una nueva Constitución y Mao Tse Tung es nombrado jefe del Estado. 1955.- El príncipe Juan Carlos de Borbón ingresa como caballero cadete en la Academia General Militar de Zaragoza.

El régimen general concentra 111.562 trabajadores, mientras que otros 33.824 extranjeros están dados de alta como autónomos en las Islas. La seguridad es “el segundo motivo” por el que los turistas eligen Canarias para pasar sus vacaciones, después del clima. Los viajes del Imserso 2026-2027 comienzan a comercializarse esta semana, pero los usuarios de Canarias tendrán que esperar hasta el miércoles 16 de septiembre.

Hay tres viviendas desalojadas, permanecen cortadas las carreteras GC-134 y GC-130 y se mantiene vigilancia sobre Cazadores y La Solana. Rescatan a unas 160 personas de una neumática y una patera en aguas cercanas a Lanzarote. Salvamento Marítimo movilizó en su ayuda, en un primer momento, a un barco mercante, mientras navegaban hacia esa zona dos salvamares con base en Lanzarote, la Al Nair y la Ácrux.

¿Por qué en algunas partes de España hubo muchísimos y en otras casi ninguno? ¿Franco fue Hitler y Mussolini? ¿Por qué tanto silencio al respecto de esta persecución masiva en pleno siglo XX, en Europa misma?Historias Católicas

Giorgia Meloni has become Italy's longest continuously serving prime minister since Mussolini - no small feat in a country that usually burns through leaders in under a year. Once written off as a fringe far-right risk, she's since charmed Brussels and shared a book preface with Donald Trump. That was until Trump attacked the Pope and made a demeaning remark about her at the G7, and the honeymoon soured. At home, she's just lost a referendum, wages are among the lowest in Europe, and a more radical challenger, retired general Roberto Vannacci, polling at eight per cent and rising, is squeezing her from the right. Dr Marina Cino Pagliarello joins Global Roaming to unpack the split between Meloni's international and domestic image.Guest: Dr Marina Cino Pagliarello, senior visiting fellow at the London School of Economics and senior research fellow at the European University Institute.Mentioned in this episode: Giorgia Meloni Cuts the Hard Right a Path to Power, New York TimesGet in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

Picture a newsroom in Rome under dictator Benito Mussolini's fascist regime in the 1930s. A censor's red pencil moves down a page before it ever reaches a printing press.  Now picture a cell phone, right now, tonight: someone typing out a post, reading it back to themselves, and deleting it before they hit send.   Two moments, nearly a hundred years apart, but with the same instinct.  Silence isn't just what's left when words are cut, or people are quiet. It's something regimes - and sometimes just fear, or habit, or a culture - intentionally manufacture.  And that's why we think talking about silence is so important, especially given where we are currently in the United States.   Today we're tracing the history of silence across three pivotal moments: the silence embedded in the American nativist movement in the 1800s, the fascist engineering of silence in the 1900s, and how observers today argue silence is being imposed again, with some tips as to how we best fight back (hint: we question. A lot).   What to listen for: How a regime manufactures silence: (1) legal suppression; (2) fear and violence; (3) propaganda; (4) mythologized past; (5) erasing inconvenient history… and how we see each of these pieces in today's America. How early American nativists used silence in the mid-1800s - literally, with a party called the Know-Nothings - to quietly advance their agenda against European immigrants The early-1900s Americans who created laws to enforce silence (and fear) And how silence is being weaponized in America in 2026.  What can we each do? Speak up. Ask questions. Use your voice - and your voting voice. Be that friend who texts the group chat to make sure everybody's registered to vote and has a plan to get to the polling place.   

Today, we dive into one of the strangest intersections of religion, UFO history, and government secrecy: the Vatican's alleged connection to extraterrestrial phenomena. From the mysterious Magenta crash in Fascist Italy and Mussolini's secret scientists to David Grusch's testimony, ancient biblical visions, the Miracle of the Sun, and the Vatican Observatory, we explore whether the Catholic Church may know more about UFOs than it has ever publicly revealed. Welcome to Camp!

Miguel Ángel González Suárez te presenta el Informativo de Primera Hora en 'El Remate', el programa matinal de La Diez Capital Radio que arranca tu día con: Las noticias más relevantes de Canarias, España y el mundo, analizadas con rigor y claridad. Emergencias eleva la alerta por incendios en Canarias: estas son las nuevas restricciones en Tenerife. La alerta entra en vigor este martes por el calor, la baja humedad y el viento.

Hoy se cumplen 1.661 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 4 años y 193 días. Hoy es martes 8 de septiembre de 2026. Día Internacional del Periodista. En 1958, durante el IV Congreso de la Organización Mundial de Periodistas (OIP), llevado a cabo en Bucarest (Rumania) se estableció el 8 de septiembre como Día Internacional del Periodista en honor y conmemoración al fallecimiento de Julius Fucik, escritor y periodista checoslovaco, que fue ejecutado por los nazis en 1943. La fecha está destinada a resaltar la importancia de la profesión del periodismo en su labor de buscar la verdad y en defensa de la libertad de expresión. Es necesario recordar que, en la actualidad, los periodistas siguen siendo objeto de ataques, encarcelamientos, secuestros y asesinatos por ejercer su profesión. Por ello, la importancia de homenajearlos y reconocer el papel que tienen en la sociedad. El 8 de septiembre de 1873 en Madrid, Emilio Castelar es elegido presidente de la I República Española. El 8 de septiembre de 1888 Isaac Peral bota el primer submarino operativo del mundo. 1925: en el Rif (norte de África), en el marco de la Guerra de la Independencia del Rif, el ejército español lleva a cabo el Desembarco de Alhucemas, que acabará con la guerra. Tal día como hoy, 8 de septiembre de 1941, la Alemania nazi inició el asedio de 900 días de Leningrado (conocido como Sitio de Leningrado) por las fuerzas alemanas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los soviéticos construyeron una intrincada defensa alrededor de la ciudad, pero el asedio provocó la muerte de al menos un millón de rusos por inanición y enfermedad. Años más tarde, el 8 de septiembre de 1943, tras la destitución de Mussolini del poder en julio, el general Dwight Eisenhower anuncia públicamente la rendición de Italia a los aliados. 1966: en Estados Unidos, el canal de televisión NBC emite el primer epìsodio de la serie de ciencia ficción Star Trek (Star Trek: The Original Series), creada por Gene Roddenberry. 1972.- Se crea en España la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia. 1977.- Rafael Alberti renuncia a ser diputado por el PCE. El 8 de septiembre de 2001 en Durban (Sudáfrica) se da inicio a la Conferencia Mundial en Contra del Racismo. El 8 de septiembre de 2021 los talibanes toman el poder en Afganistán y declaran el Emirato Islámico de Afganistán. Patrocinio del santo de cada día por gentileza de la Casa de las Imágenes, en la calle Obispo Perez Cáceres, 17 en Candelaria. El 8 de septiembre es el santo de Natividad de Nuestra Señora, Nuestra Señora de Nuria, San Adriano de Nicomedia, San Corbiniano de Freising, San Isaac de Armenia, San Pedro de Chavanon, San Sergio I papa. Merz admite que la CDU está "profundamente conmocionada" tras el triunfo de la ultraderecha en Sajonia-Anhalt. La Audiencia Nacional investigará la entrada masiva en Ceuta al ser un "ataque grave contra la integridad territorial". Vivas denuncia que Ceuta está "al límite" e insiste junto a Feijóo en que tras el "golpe" está Marruecos. El expresidente de Plus Ultra confirma ante el juez que "daba por hecho que el 1% de las gestiones eran para Zapatero" Un total de 240 personas mueren en las carreteras en julio y agosto, con un breve repunte: "Ha sido un mal verano" Torres niega que existan informes sobre un repunte migratorio en la ruta atlántica en los próximos meses El ministro cuestiona la propuesta de Manuel Domínguez sobre el cierre de fronteras y defiende la necesidad de mantener la colaboración económica con los países vecinos del continente africano. Canarias, entre las regiones donde más se falta al trabajo: las bajas médicas disparan el absentismo. Solo el País Vasco presenta un porcentaje superior, mientras 8,1 puntos corresponden a procesos de incapacidad temporal, según Adecco. Canarias advierte de que acudirá al Supremo si el Gobierno no se encarga del triaje de los menores migrantes. La consejera de Bienestar Social, Candelaria Delgado, rechaza que el Estado solo aporte fondos y asegura que crece el “hacinamiento” Un dia como hoy pero en 1958 se lanzó "Sings for Only the Lonely", álbum de Frank Sinatra, un referente del jazz y la música teatral romántica.

In 1922, Benito Mussolini took power in Italy. Sustained by a cult of personality and iron-fisted suppression of dissent, Mussolini transformed the nation into a single-party state. Nahlah Ayed and panelists discuss the legacy of Italian fascism and its relevance today.

"Why am I bunkmates with Mussolini?" It's time for the world premiere of The Diary of a Personable Fella, now streaming. Then, let's play Mr. Lister around QBs from the 2000s and Miami Bowl losses, name some QBs who started Super Bowls with two first names, hear some name-dropping from Dameshek, and ask an important question: are you in your own Top 25 Best People?

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Bonnie Blaylock, author of The Water Women, listed in the Textile Arts category on Art In Fiction.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oQagNFbwEzIPremise for the novel: three generations of Sardinian women guard the ancient craft of byssus weaving, golden "sea silk" harvested from a mollusk, until a 1942 wartime secret changes what gets passed down the family line.Byssus 101, or the beard of the world's largest mollusk: how a single photo of the Pinna nobilis, a clam that grows up to four feet tall off the coast of Sardinia, sent Bonnie down the research hole that became this novel, and why the last woman still practicing the craft isn't sure she'll pass it on.Researching a place she's never been: how Google Earth, Street View, and D.H. Lawrence's century-old travelogue Sea and Sardinia stood in for a research trip that kept getting cancelled, including a would-be crossing of her own that she and her husband missed by literal hours.The mothers-and-daughters engine underneath it all: how losing her own mother at 24 and gaining her first granddaughter mid-manuscript shaped a novel about what parents hand down to their children, intentionally or not, and whether the children get to choose what they keep.Sardinia's hidden World War II history: churches built over synagogues, Mussolini's presence on the island, and the mysterious prehistoric Nuraghi ruins Bonnie used as a setting Writing a character readers love to hate: why Zaneta, the second-generation "water woman," divides readers, and Bonnie's case for giving her grace.Duty to those before us versus responsibility to those who come after, or, as Bonnie puts it, "can I say both are true?"Reading from The Water Women: an excerpt from Mira's perspective, a fishing line, a hum you can feel in your chest, and a mother trying to let her daughter become whoever she's going to become.Queen Berenice and the real rule of sea silk: the tradition, said to trace back to a queen referenced in the New Testament, that byssus can only ever be given as a gift, never sold.Why textile arts don't get their due: a conversation about "women's work" being just as worthy of serious treatment as anything hanging in a gallery.What's next: The Lookout, to be published in March 2027, based on the real first woman fire lookout in the northern California mountains and the sister who hiked up supplies to her for fourteen summers.Read more from Bonnie Blaylock at bonnieblaylock.comAre you enjoying The Art In Fiction Podcast?

Historian Joseph Kelly argues that the roots of American fascism reach much further back than Nazi Germany or Mussolini's Italy. They can be found in the antebellum South and the political system built to defend slavery and racial hierarchy.Kelly, author of The Biggest Lie: The Prehistory of American Fascism, 1818 - 1915, traces how the promise that “all men are created equal” collided with a growing ideology that insisted inequality was natural. We discuss Thomas Jefferson, the Denmark Vesey conspiracy, Nat Turner, pseudoscientific racism, Samuel George Morton, Jim Crow, and the use of fear and political violence to protect white power.Kelly also explains Robert Paxton's definition of fascism, why January 6 changed Paxton's view of Donald Trump, and how election denial can function as a test of political loyalty. The conversation ends with the institutions Kelly believes still protect American democracy, including a free press, independent courts, academic freedom, and organizations committed to defending civil rights.BOOKBook: The Biggest Lie: The Prehistory of American Fascism, 1818 - 1915https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781639732111GUEST BIOJoseph Kelly is a historian and professor of literature and history at the College of Charleston. His work examines American democracy and the historical struggle between egalitarian ideals and systems of racial and political hierarchy. His latest book, The Biggest Lie: The Prehistory of American Fascism, 1818 - 1915, traces the development of American fascist politics from the antebellum South through Jim Crow and the rise of Anglo-Saxon nationalism. He is also the author of Marooned and America's Longest Siege.

The extreme right and left wing unite at their extremes in totalitarianism and a god complex. Yet the battle between autocracies and democracies continues like some externalized projection of an internal split in the human psyche; as if the ancient archetypes of good and evil, light and dark, creation and destruction, hubris and nemesis are fighting out a cosmic battle on an earthly and human plane. If we are possessed by archetypes so deeply unconscious as to be capable of destroying us, then the beginning of an answer, as in all depth psychology, is to make the unconscious conscious, and awaken.

World War 2 did not begin in 1939 by accident. In this Road to WW2 documentary, Craig and Gaurav trace the causes of World War 2 from the Treaty of Versailles to Hitler's rise, Nazi Germany's rearmament, the Munich Agreement, and the collapse of appeasement across World War II Europe. From the wreckage of the Great War, a broken peace settled over the continent. The Treaty of Versailles left Germany humiliated, Italy restless, and the League of Nations too weak to stop what came next. Mussolini's March on Rome, the Locarno Treaties, the Great Depression, and the Nazi seizure of power turned a fragile recovery into a countdown. This episode follows the chain almost nobody stopped: the secret buildup of the Luftwaffe, the Anglo-German Naval Agreement, the remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936, the Spanish Civil War as a testing ground, the Anti-Comintern Pact with Japan, the Anschluss with Austria, the Sudetenland crisis, and Neville Chamberlain's deal at Munich. Britain and France were not simply naive. They were buying time. Then Hitler broke the promise, swallowed the rest of Czechoslovakia in 1939, signed the Pact of Steel with Mussolini, and forced London and Paris to guarantee Poland. The next episode covers the invasion that finally started the war in Europe.

Bien que l'Éthiopie soit toujours restée indépendante, elle a tout de même échappé de peu au joug colonial de l'Italie. À la fin du 19e siècle, Rome, qui a pris le contrôle de l'Érythrée, cherche à étendre son influence dans la Corne de l'Afrique. Mais jamais le pays ne parviendra à s'implanter en Éthiopie – du moins, jusqu'à l'occupation italienne de 1935 à 1941 fomentée par Benito Mussolini. L'empereur éthiopien Ménélik II, au pouvoir à l'époque, devient alors un symbole de la lutte contre la colonisation, éclipsant l'impératrice Taytu Betul, son épouse, dont le rôle a pourtant été déterminant. De notre correspondante à Addis-Abeba, À Addis-Abeba, Bezawit contemple la statue ocre de l'empereur Ménélik II sur l'immense esplanade du musée d'Adwa. À ses côtés, tout aussi imposante, l'impératrice Taytu pointe du doigt la fontaine qui lui fait face, comme un clin d'œil à l'Histoire, explique Tigist Angasu, guide au musée. « Pendant le siège de Mekelle, Taytu a coupé l'approvisionnement en eau de la rivière, rendant l'accès à la ressource extrêmement difficile pour les Italiens, raconte-t-elle. La situation est ensuite devenue extrêmement ardue pour les forces italiennes qui, après six jours de siège, ont capitulé et quitté le champ de bataille. » Bezawit l'avoue : elle ne connaissait pas le rôle décisif de Taytu dans cet épisode clé de l'invasion italienne de janvier 1896. « J'ai entendu dire qu'elle a fait beaucoup de bien aux femmes et que c'était une héroïne. Mais je dois avouer que mes connaissances à ce sujet sont limitées », confie-t-elle. L'impératrice Taytu a pourtant largement contribué à l'échec de l'Italie en Éthiopie, explique l'anthropologue Alula Pankhurst : « Son mari, l'empereur, avait commencé à avoir beaucoup de relations avec les Européens et à passer des accords avec eux parce qu'il voulait importer des armes. Mais elle, elle disait toujours que si les Européens venaient avec des cadeaux, c'était parce qu'ils avaient des intentions ultérieures. Elle se méfiait beaucoup d'eux. » Le rôle de Taytu dans la bataille d'Adwa, qui a chassé les Italiens le 1er mars 1896, a été déterminant. « Premièrement, elle a créé un bataillon, une équipe de soldats de femmes sur des mules, détaille-t-il. Elle était donc aussi dans les stratagèmes, elle a donné beaucoup d'avis et aussi des soins, elle y a même participé activement lorsqu'il y a eu des opérations chirurgicales, après la bataille. C'est quelqu'un qui a, en quelque sorte, permis à l'Éthiopie de garder son indépendance vis-à-vis des pouvoirs européens à la fin du 19e siècle, tandis que les autres pays africains étaient colonisés. » Taytu a aussi marqué de son influence la capitale éthiopienne. C'est elle qui, en 1886, a choisi de la nommer Addis-Abeba, « Nouvelle Fleur » en amharique. À lire aussiÉthiopie: un ouvrage éclaire le rôle majeur des femmes dans l'histoire du pays

Trump's second term has taken grifting to extraordinary heights with crypto rug pulls, pay-for-play deals, and more board seats for the children of Presidents. Ideas surrounding equity stakes in private American businesses for the American government that would make Mussolini proud. What does the future hold for Economic Hitmen representing Western interests when their competitors in China have a more robust value proposition that does not come preloaded with the bloody track record of the American Empire? With the Strait of Hormuz shut down, they decided to pivot to the Western Hemisphere for Trump's Banana Republic, only to find that after all the bad deals, the republic no longer had any bananas left to squander.---Guest:John Perkinswww.JohnPerkins.org---Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink Tree Video ChannelsRumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist PostNewsletter Sign UpAudiobooksHypocrazyThe Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramThe Dollar VigilanteNesa's Hemp | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms

Cosa hanno in comune l'Antica Roma, Benito Mussolini e una grigliata in spiaggia? Una sola parola: Ferragosto!

Step into the shadowed skies of Fascist Italy with My Dark Path as we uncover a cascade of unexplained aerial encounters that predate Roswell by more than a decade. Host MF Thomas begins on a twilight street in Milan in 1944, where a young Decima naval commando watches a copper-colored disk hang motionless above Piazzale Loreto—silent, luminous, and gone in an instant—while air-raid sirens wail and anti-aircraft crews stare in disbelief.From there the episode travels back to the morning of August 22, 1936, over the Venice Lagoon and Mestre. Italian Regia Aeronautica pilots scramble Fiat CR.32 biplanes against a ten-to-twelve-meter metallic disk that accelerates away without sound or exhaust. Later that same day, pilot Marinelli and his flight encounter a long gray “aerial torpedo” accompanied by two domed, hat-shaped craft trailing perfect white smoke plumes and flying in flawless formation. A ground observer named Faustino then watches the same cylindrical craft release smaller disc-shaped objects. Photographs and urgent reports race straight to Galeazzo Ciano's desk—Mussolini's son-in-law and Foreign Minister—under the same absolute-secrecy orders first issued after the alleged 1933 Magenta crash and the creation of the secret RS/33 scientific cabinet.Drawing on the Fascist UFO files brought to light by Roberto Pinotti and Alfredo Lissoni (including the anonymous “Mister X” documents later forensically examined), this episode explores how Mussolini's regime imposed total silence, redirected stories as “meteors,” and kept trained military observers quiet for the rest of their lives. What emerges is a portrait of Italy's forgotten pre-Roswell UFO wave—sightings that trained pilots and soldiers could neither identify nor forget.This episode blends immersive historical narration, primary-document context, skeptical analysis of the contested Fascist files, and the enduring power of eyewitness testimony from men who understood the cost of speaking. Perfect for fans of classic UFO cases, Italian ufology, wartime secrecy, and the unexplained.

Hitler wanted him arrested. Mussolini banned him. And in a little Hampstead studio, David Low took on the dictators armed with nothing more than a pencil.

“The Romans did that many, many times — until normal had changed so radically that there was nothing left of the republic to protect.” — Michelle Berenfeld on getting “back to normal” Are we Rome (yet)? Michelle Berenfeld fears we are. Back in April of last year, the professor of classics at Pitzer College published “The Roman Way to Trash a Republic” in the Atlantic. And now Berenfeld has expanded her argument into Lessons from a Lost Republic, a new book about what Ancient Rome can teach us about our current American moment. There are two Romes, Berenfeld reminds us: the Roman Republic and Imperial Rome. Nostalgic tech guys like Mark Zuckerberg are obsessed with the imperial world of emperors, legions, and world domination, while the more forward-thinking founders of the American republic used imperial figures like Caesar and Augustus as negative lessons from antiquity. Asking whether Trump is Roman is like asking whether the Pope is Catholic. Certainly he's a wannabe Caesar with his fleshy face on our currency, his imperial DC arch, his daily wars, and all those fake blood sports on the White House lawn. But the daily comedy show misses the longer-term political tragedy. Berenfeld fears the shift in power from Congress toward an imperial presidency, a trend she says predates Trump and will outlast him. The gravest Roman conceit was believing, after each crisis, that things could get “back to normal” — a mantra Roman citizens repeated endlessly until there was nothing left of the old republic to protect. Then there's Zuckerberg, who even named his daughters August and Aurelia. For Zuck, Augustus should be praised for doing “tough things” to usher in two centuries of peace and prosperity. But Berenfeld reminds us those tough things included drawing up enemies lists and killing everyone who crossed him. Meanwhile, this supposed peace and prosperity (de)generated the rule of Caligula and Nero. Augustus, Berenfeld argues, was one of history's great spin doctors, claiming to be restoring a corrupted republic while simultaneously dismantling it. No wonder, perhaps, Zuckerberg admires him so much. Berenfeld says that the Roman spectacle of “bread and circuses” should be a warning. Juvenal's complaint was that Romans traded their liberties for gladiatorial games and free grain. We're making the same trade in contemporary America, Berenfeld observes, and getting neither. Most Americans, she concludes sadly, can't even afford a World Cup ticket. Berenfeld's deepest lesson is about power and political agency. Political powers given up are not easily gotten back, she warns. Republics are not saved by Hollywood-style saviors, and there is no golden age to restore. That said, the Los Angeles-based classicist hasn't completely given up hope. Nothing about Rome's trajectory was inevitable, she reminds us. Remixing Benjamin Franklin, the American Republic is ours to keep, if we use our agency as citizens. Just don't tempt fate by naming your daughters August and Aurelia. Five Takeaways •       The Founders' Rome vs the Bros' Rome. Americans are obsessed with the wrong Rome. The TikTok meme, the billionaires, and the manosphere celebrate the empire — emperors, legions, gladiators, world domination — while the founders admired the republic: 500 years of government founded on the rejection of a king, with rule of law, guaranteed rights, and peaceful transitions of power, all rare in antiquity. They designed the American constitution in explicit dialogue with Rome's collapse, asking “what if someone like Sulla or Caesar got this position?” — and regarded the men the bros now worship as usurpers and dictators. Polybius' mixed constitution — part monarchy (consuls), part aristocracy (Senate), part democracy (assemblies) — became their template of checks and balances. A republic, as Franklin warned, if you can keep it.•       On the Nose — and Beside the Point. Trump's Romanism is almost comical: his face on coins, a triumphal arch, blood sport performed on the White House lawn. But Berenfeld's book — which she didn't want to be about Trump at all — argues the real Roman echo is structural: a Senate voluntarily handing its powers to one man, a trend that predates Trump and will outlast him. The gravest error is the “back to normal” fallacy: after each crisis, the Romans told themselves the republic had survived and things could return to normal — many, many times, until normal had shifted so radically that there was nothing left to protect. America's dichotomy of denial and despair repeats it: blaming everything on one president gives cover to everyone else who is ceding, normalizing, and waiting for the storm to pass.•       Bread, Circuses — and Neither. Juvenal's famous sneer, decoded: the circuses were amphitheater games staged sometimes every other day; the bread was a grain allotment for every Roman citizen — in effect, Berenfeld notes, a minimum basic income, something our politics would call socialism. The Roman people traded their liberties and their republic for that package. Americans, she argues, are making the same trade and receiving neither the bread nor the circuses — no basic income, and most people can't afford a World Cup ticket. The party structure rhymes too: the populares and the optimates were both parties of very rich men competing for a few powerful positions, and eventually they looked alike to ordinary Romans — much as America's two parties have begun to look alike to ordinary Americans.•       Marcus Aurelius Was Writing His Memoirs. Every American man Berenfeld meets brings up Marcus Aurelius. The Meditations contain genuine wisdom — thoughtful action, the equal shortness of all lives — but context deflates the cult: it was the private journal of an elderly emperor, written in Greek (the language of philosophy, not of his soldiers), barely read in antiquity and rediscovered much later. “It's a little bit like when George Bush started making paintings.” Andrew's Arendtian reading — stoicism as the inward turn of men whose empire had abolished politics — hangs over the manosphere's version. And the one way she wishes Trump were more Roman: the engineering. Roman concrete got stronger underwater; on the reflecting-pool problem in DC, “if I were an ancient Roman, I could tell him — I've got a guy.”•       Powers Given Up Are Not Easily Gotten Back. The book's core warning: when a legislature grants one man powers beyond his office — always in the name of crisis — those powers stick to the office long after the man is gone, and no savior restores them. Lincoln and FDR stretched their bounds and let go afterwards (or died, as Andrew noted; she conceded). Berenfeld refuses the fascism debate — Mussolini cast himself as a new Augustus, and 1930s historians bought the story — offering a sharper test instead: would you give these powers to a president whose politics you oppose? Nero's fiddle was posthumous PR; an emperor's reputation depends on his successor, which makes the augury of a President Vance worth watching. Nothing was inevitable — not Augustus, not Christianity, not the fall. Political agency is...

Rod Liddle was a columnist and broadcaster who strongly divided opinion. Some saw him as an entertaining satirist, others, a bigot. As a teenager he joined a punk band and studied social psychology at the London School of Economics. He was politically active too, first as a member of Socialist Workers Party and then a Labour speech writer. He later joined the BBC as a trainee producer, working his way up to become editor of the Today programme. His former boss, Roger Mosey, told us how he immediately stood out from the crowd.Vicki Wickham was one of the music industry's most influential managers with clients including Marc Almond, Morrissey, and Dusty Springfield. She landed the job of booking acts for ITV's Ready Steady Go! despite knowing little about music and became the driving force behind the show, arranging appearances by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles. Vicki's friend Simon Napier Bell, who himself managed artists like Wham!, Marc Bolan and Ultravox, recalls the lasting impact she had on the industry.Simone Forti was the pioneering dancer and choreographer whose pieces often use improvisation and draw on inspiration from the world around her using everyday objects like rope and wood alongside the human body. Simone's start in life was challenging. Her Jewish family had to flee from the increasing threat of the Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Her biographer Ann Cooper Albright shares her story.Justin Hardy was a Bafta and Emmy-nominated director known for historical films. His father was Robin Hardy the director of cult classic The Wicker Man. Robin had eight children by five different women and the making of the tortured film tore Justin's family apart. Justin went onto make a documentary with his half-brother Dominic Hardy, Children of the Wicker Man, where they interrogated their childhood using newly discovered documents from his father. Justin also completed his father's Wicker Man trilogy with new film Wrath of the God's - the release of which he never saw.Presenter: Matthew Bannister Producer: Ben Mitchell Assistant producer: Catherine Powell Researcher: Jesse Edwards Editor: Andrea KennedyArchive: Channel 4 News, 19/06/2014, YouTube; BBC Two, Have I Got News For You, 19/10/2002; BBC Radio 4, Start the Week, 02/06/2014; LA Women, EZTV, Kate Crash, 15/10/2012, YouTube; Huddle, Friends of the High Line, 12/11/2013, YouTube; Simone Forti, Slant Board, 1961. © 2026 The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Audio courtesy of MOCA - The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Performed January 29, 2023, during the exhibition Simone Forti (presented at MOCA Grand Avenue, January 15 – April 3, 2023); BBC World Service, Outlook, 09/04/2024

On Christmas Eve 1945 in Fayetteville, West Virginia, a fire destroyed the Sodder family home. Parents George and Jennie escaped with four of their children, but five others: Maurice, 14; Martha, 12; Louis, 10; Jennie, 8; and Betty, 5 vanished without a trace. No remains were ever found, despite official claims the fire consumed them completely. Suspicious details piled up: a cut phone line, a missing ladder found far from the house, trucks that mysteriously wouldn't start, and prior threats tied to George's anti-Mussolini views. The family believed the children were kidnapped, possibly by the Sicilian Mafia, and spent decades seeking answers with a roadside billboard offering a reward. This cold case still haunts true-crime fans. In this episode of Unsolved Mysteries Rewind, Diana guest hosts with Mark to dig into one of America's most baffling disappearances.

Think fascism is a European import? Guess again: Hitler and Mussolini copied American fascism. Before and after the Civil War, some Americans counted while many did not.

Mark Piesing, author of N-4 Down: The Hunt for the Arctic Airship Italia, recounts a secret meeting in Norway in July 1925 that brought together legendary explorer Roald Amundsen and Italian engineer Umberto Nobile to plan the first airship flight over the North Pole. Amundsen, seeking a final financial triumph and the completion of his polar legacy, joined forces with Nobile, a brilliant designer facing political pressure from Mussolini's fascist regime. Their initial 1926 expedition in the airship Norge was a success, but it sparked a bitter rivalry as Nobile was celebrated as a "new Columbus" while Amundsen felt sidelined. By 1928, Nobile returned to the Arctic in a new airship, the Italia, a mission fueled by nationalistic pride and individual obsession. After reaching the North Pole, the craft encountered fierce winds and heavy ice, eventually smashing into the frozen wilderness. The crash split the crew; six men drifted away with the airship's envelope and vanished forever, while ten survivors, including Nobile, were stranded on the ice. A massive international rescue effort ensued, leading to the tragic disappearance of Amundsen, who vanished while flying to save his rival. The Soviet icebreaker Krassin eventually rescued the remaining survivors. However, Nobile's reputation was permanently tarnished when he allowed himself to be rescued first, leaving his crew behind. Upon returning to Italy, he faced the wrath of Mussolini, as the fascist state used him as a scapegoat to deflect from the expedition's failure. (1)1906 AMUNDSEN

Make no mistake: the far right's push for remigration — the mass removal of non-European immigrants, and of certain minority citizens too — is both serious and strategic. Yes, the European mainstream is still resisting it, and anti-Nazis and pro-Europeans are mounting a determined pushback of their own. But the far right insists its strategy of dragging the conservative center steadily rightward is working: rightward on restricting NGOs, rightward on rolling back climate protections, and rightward, above all, on migration. Among recent wins it's crowing about is EU approval for a so-called Return Regulation, under which member states could end up paying countries in the Western Balkans and North Africa — not just to hold back migrants, but to accept migrants deported from the EU. The vote, on June 17, was accompanied by chants of "send them back" inside the European Parliament.Remigration, of course, would go a giant step further: the deportations, expulsions, and de-naturalizations envisioned would involve millions of people, and would likely share disturbing logistical and ideological echoes with Nazi Germany. But those terrifying precedents haven't dimmed the far right's enthusiasm one bit. That was palpable on July 15, inside hearing room 1E2 at the European Parliament in Brussels, where some of the continent's most extreme identitarian figures gathered at the invitation of lawmakers from the chamber's three main far-right groups. Among the speakers: Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a Dutch commentator British authorities deem a threat to public order and have barred from freely traveling to the UK; she called for an even more coordinated, transnational push for remigration. And there was Dries Van Langenhove, a Flemish identitarian facing a permanent UK ban; he deployed the word "metapolitics" in an allusion to Antonio Gramsci, to insist that the long battle for dominance over public thought is winnable — and that the groundwork for full remigration is already being laid.It's a rich irony that Gramsci, an Italian Marxist jailed by Mussolini, is taken so seriously on the far right. But after the horrors of Nazism, the movement knew it had to proceed patiently if it ever hoped to stage a comeback. Some in Europe — the French New Right chief among them — took Gramsci as their guide to changing the culture first, and operating through a radical vanguard. Those same tactics got absorbed by the American radical right, which helped carry Trump into the White House. The story of how Gramsci's thinking keeps flowing back and forth across the Atlantic is of particular interest to Philipp Adorf of the University of Bonn. Philipp has written on the radicalization of the U.S. Republican Party and is a leading analyst of the rise of Germany's AfD. We recorded this conversation last year, but it's just as relevant now with the AfD and the continent's leading identitarians trying to carry their campaign for remigration to Brussels — and into the heart of European policymaking.Support the show

Last week, the Mayor of New York City — a self-declared democratic socialist — sat down with Jon Stewart and delivered sixty minutes of the most carefully packaged pitch for socialist governance I have ever seen on mainstream American media. No shouting. No revolutionary slogans. Potholes. Childcare. Dignity.

The seducer. "I have just met D'Annunzio. Can this be the man the great Duse loved? He is small, he is bald, and his teeth are in three different colours."The warrior poet in a plane over Vienna. "Today I drop words; next time I will drop bombs" Lucy Hughes-Hallett returned to the show to talk about The Pike, her prize-winning biography of Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863–1938): poet, novelist, war hero, serial seducer and proto-fascist. Italy's most celebrated writer since Dante (his own assessment, though not only his), D'Annunzio spent decades scandalising Europe with his writing and his love life before helping to drag Italy into the First World War. Hating the 'mutilated victory' that followed, he took over the town of Fiume and ruled as a mini dictator defying both the Allies and his own government. Mussolini watched and learned.Along the way: an ode to a torpedo, a chest of drawers stuffed with ladies' gloves, a Beethoven concert followed by a mock battle fought with real grenades, half a battleship installed as a garden ornament and the seduction secrets of a man once described as a bulldozer with a scented handkerchief under the pillow.

You don't need to be an egotistical asshole to be successful. History is filled with powerful people whose pride ultimately destroyed them, from Caligula and Nero to Xerxes and Mussolini. The Stoics believed the antidote to ego was humility, self-awareness, reflection, and honest introspection. In this episode, Ryan explores the dangers of ego and the timeless practices that can help you keep it in check, stay grounded, and remain a good person as you become more successful.

Kämpfer aus aller Welt unterstützen die Spanische Republik nach dem Staatsstreich vom 17.7.1936. Doch die Waffenhilfe von Europas Faschisten für Franco ist zu groß. Von Thomas Pfaff.

Beginning with the invasion by Mussolini's army in October 1940, Greece was pulled into the Second World War and with it came a band of archeologists, classicists, and intellectuals who risked their lives to protect the country's great antiquities. Writer Steven Talty sits down with True Spies producer Morgan Childs to tell the extraordinary tale. From SPYSCAPE, the home of secrets. A Cup And Nuzzle production. Series producer: Joe Foley. Produced by Morgan Childs. Stephan Talty is the author of The American School of Spies: The Archeologists Who Fought the Nazis and Saved the Treasures of Ancient Greece.

Air Date: 6/24/2026 The Monthly-ish Mix™ is here to get you caught up on recent news without being overwhelming! If you've been pulling back from the news for your own sanity, this one's built for you — a quick recap and reference guide to the past month or two, organized around a single idea: when power can't earn legitimacy, it manufactures it. The performance. Spectacle, religion, and health branding standing in for real consent: Trump collecting a FIFA "peace prize," Christian nationalism worn as a costume the actual church refuses to bless, and RFK Jr. dressing up a gutted vaccine agenda as "moderate," scapegoating immigrants as he goes, while the USAID cuts run up a body count. The machinery. The infrastructure that keeps the performance going while real consent drains away underneath: a legal system bent toward self-dealing and a $1.8 billion slush fund, billionaire money rewriting the rules since Citizens United, an AI gold rush sold as inevitable before anyone voted on it, and an economy booming on paper while the ground shifts under everyone's feet. The vacuum and the reclaiming. What rushes in when legitimacy collapses, from normalized political violence to a manifesto born of that collapse — and then the democratic answer: why the rupture hasn't come, why revolutions tend to devour themselves, and why the slower work wins. Nonviolent movements draw eleven times the participation, and the ballot box the Supreme Court is fighting hardest to narrow is the same one that just turned out 78% of Hungary to remove Orbán.

Centuries before Hollywood dressed it in a nun's habit, the demon Valak prowled the pages of forbidden grimoires as a winged boy astride a two-headed dragon, commanding legions of serpents to do his bidding.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources):https://weirddarkness.com/valekREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/24s8nzb9FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Although Valak is depicted in the films "The Nun" and in “The Conjuring 2” as a habit-wearing spirit, the real demon appears as a child riding a two-headed dragon — at least according to a 17th-century demon-hunting manual. (The Reality Behind The Demon, Valak) *** The Vatican is one of the most well-guarded areas in the world. But if rumors are to be believed, all that security isn't only to protect the pontiff… but some dark, disturbing secrets… and a machine that could change everything we know to be true. (The Vatican's Secret Machine) *** We'll look at that time a force field was accidentally created at a 3M plant. (3M's Accidental Force Field) *** In 1872 George Wheeler met and married May Tillson in Boston. He made a home for May and her younger sister Della, first in New York, then in California. Along the way, George fell in love with young Della and when she planned to marry someone else he was faced with a dilemma: he could not marry her himself and he could not bear to see her wed to another. The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills. To help accommodate the need, it was made legal to sell dead bodies. What could possibly go wrong?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a centuries-old demon mistaken for a nun, through the Victorian trade in stolen corpses and a force field that appeared inside a 1980 factory, to a San Francisco trunk murder and a Catholic priest who claimed to have built a machine that could film the past.It opens with the demon Valak, who reaches modern audiences through The Nun and The Conjuring 2 as a pale, nun-robed figure but appears in the 17th-century grimoire Clavicula Salomonis Regis, or The Key of Solomon, as the 62nd spirit: a boy with angel's wings riding a two-headed dragon, commanding a legion of serpents and an army of thirty demons while hunting snakes and hidden treasure. The nun costume was the invention of director James Wan, who reshaped a vision the medium Lorraine Warren described to him — a swirling hooded figure carrying female energy — into a holy icon turned against her Catholic faith. Warren and her husband Ed, the demonologists who rose to fame after the 1976 Amityville investigation, reportedly met a spectral hooded figure at the Borley church in southern England, where lore held that a nun had been bricked alive in the convent walls after an affair with a monk. The Key of Solomon, which lists the seventy-two demons King Solomon was said to have vanquished, sat on the Vatican's Index librorum prohibitorum until the Church abandoned that list of prohibited books in 1966, though copies kept turning up in the hands of Catholic priests.From there the episode turns to the Anatomy Act of 1832, the British law that legalized dissecting unclaimed bodies from workhouses and hospitals to end the grave-robbing of the resurrectionists, yet instead built an organized corpse trade across Victorian England. The twelfth-century St. Bartholomew's left wicker baskets beneath its King Henry VIII gate for body dealers to fill, while a Liverpool Street express known as the "dead train" carried sealed funeral wagons of stacked corpses toward Cambridge. Deepening the trade, the New Poor Law of 1834 confined the destitute to workhouses whose officials profited from selling the dead, and in 1858 the master of St. Mary Newington workhouse, Alfred Feist, was caught funneling pauper bodies to Guy's Hospital through the undertaker Robert Hogg, who staged fake funerals and collected double payment. Anatomists prized the bodies of fetuses and children, keeping their skulls intact — only one of fifty-four specimens in a Cambridge collection had received a craniotomy — and the public's dread boiled over in Manchester in 1832, when a grandfather opened the coffin of a three-year-old who had died at the Swan Street Cholera Hospital and found a brick where the boy's head should have been.Next comes a stranger kind of dread, set in the summer of 1980 at a 3M plant in South Carolina, where workers slitting twenty-foot-wide polypropylene film at a thousand feet per minute walked into an invisible wall they could not push through. The static-charged field, which one worker measured past the limit of a 200-kilovolt handheld electrometer, pulled people toward it so strongly they had to back away on foot, swallowed a passing fly, and by one account could have held a bird in its grip before vanishing as abruptly as it formed. Managers reproduced the effect the next morning under lower humidity, and the plant production manager reportedly said he didn't know whether to fix it or sell tickets; later accounts claim a researcher who published on the phenomenon was contacted by NASA and federal agencies before the grounding fault was corrected and the field never returned.The episode then moves to a true-crime case in San Francisco, where around midnight on October 20, 1880, George A. Wheeler walked into a police station and confessed to strangling his sister-in-law Della Tillson and packing her body into a trunk in their room at 23 Kearney Street. Wheeler had fathered two children with Della, both of whom died, while her sister — his deaf wife, May — lived across the hall posing as his sister-in-law, and the arrival of the miner George Peckham, who hoped to marry Della and take her to Sacramento, drove Wheeler to kill rather than let the two leave together. He told reporters that Della sat in his lap and asked him to end her life, that she died with her head on his shoulder, and his defense of hereditary insanity failed across two trials, the second forced by a California Supreme Court ruling over improperly admitted testimony from a book on medical jurisprudence. On January 23, 1884, five thousand people gathered outside the jail, entrance tickets sold for ten dollars apiece, and Wheeler — newly drawn toward Catholic conversion under Father Cottle — kissed a crucifix, commended his spirit, and dropped to a broken neck.The episode closes inside the Vatican with Father Pellegrino Ernetti, an Italian priest, exorcist, and musical scholar who claimed in the 1950s to have helped build a device called the Chronovisor that could see and hear the past. Ernetti said a team of twelve anonymous scientists, among them the physicist Enrico Fermi and the rocket engineer Wernher von Braun, tuned the machine to a speech by Mussolini, then Napoleon, a Roman market under Emperor Trajan, a Cicero oration, and a 169 B.C. performance of Quintus Ennius's lost tragedy Thyestes, which he said let him publish its full text. When the magazine La Domenica del Corriere printed a Chronovisor image of Christ's face on the cross on May 2, 1972, it was soon matched to a mirrored photograph of a wood carving by the sculptor Cullot Valera, and Ernetti — who said the machine was too dangerous to exist and had been dismantled and hidden — left behind no device, no named living witnesses, and a 1993 presentation to four cardinals whose contents were never disclosed.

Josip Broz was the wartime resistance leader who became Tito, the strongman ruler of Yugoslavia. He defeated both Hitler and Mussolini. He stared down Stalin. He consolidated much of the Balkans as a single state, helping it to punch above its weight. But beyond his undoubted political skill and avuncular demeanour there was also a darkness… and an iron fist. So who really was the man behind the name? How did he chart a third way through the Cold War? And how is he remembered today? A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann.
