Podcasts about Benjamin Disraeli

Imperien? Diese Zeit ist doch lange vorbei. So haben vermutlich viele gedacht. Spätestens nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion und dem Ende des Kalten Krieges schien das Zeitalter der Imperien und des Imperialismus endgültig Geschichte. Aber Staaten wie die USA oder China verfolgen schon seit Jahrzehnten eine imperialistische Handelspolitik. Sie bauen ihre Macht und ihren Einfluss in vielen Weltregionen aus. Staaten wie Russland machen auch nicht davor halt, ihr Territorium gewaltsam zu erweitern. Das wurde spätestens mit dem Angriffskrieg Russlands auf die Ukraine Anfang 2022 klar. Aber was bedeutet dieser Neo-Imperialismus für unsere Welt? Welchen historischen Vorbildern folgen Putin, Trump und Xi? Wann entwickelte sich das erste Imperium der Geschichte? Und warum sind das Persische Reich, das Imperium Romanum und das Mongolenreich am Ende doch untergegangen?

คอลัมน์ “สดแต่เช้า”ปีที่5 (ตอนที่7) ท่าทีของคริสเตียนต่อการเปิดบ่อนเสรี! “ทรัพย์สมบัติที่ได้มาเร็วจะร่อยหรอหมดไป แต่คนที่เก็บเล็กผสมน้อยจะมีมากขึ้น” ‭‭ ~สุภาษิต‬ ‭13‬:‭11‬ ‭THSV11‬‬ “The more easily you get your wealth, the sooner you will lose it. The harder it is to earn, the more you will have.”‭‭ ~Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭11‬ ‭GNT‬‬ คนที่อยากรวยเร็ว มักชอบเสี่ยงพนัน! พจนานุกรมไทย ราชบัณฑิตยสถาน ให้นิยามความหมายของคำว่า “พนัน”ว่าคือ “เล่นเอาเงินหรือสิ่งอื่นโดยอาศัยความฉลาด ความชำนาญ เล่ห์เหลี่ยม ไหวพริบและฝีมือรวมทั้งโชคด้วย. น. การเล่นเช่นนั้น เรียกว่า การพนัน“ และสถานที่ๆ คนไปเล่นการพนันกัน แม้มีหลายชื่อ แต่ภาษาไทยมักเรียกว่า ”บ่อน“(ซึ่งมีหลายความหมาย แต่ ปัจจุบัน คำว่า บ่อน หมายถึง“สถานที่ที่เป็นแหล่งชุมนุมเล่นการพนัน  เช่น บ่อนไพ่  บ่อนกาสิโน  บ่อนปลากัด  บ่อนไก่.)”สำหรับภาษาอังกฤษใช้คำว่า “กาสิโน” ซึ่งเป็นคำมาจากภาษาฝรั่งเศสที่ว่า casino หมายถึง“สถานการพนันขนาดใหญ่และโอ่โถง มีการพนันหลายชนิด เช่น รูเล็ตต์ ไพ่ ” กาสิโน ตรงกับคำว่า บ่อน ในภาษาไทย! ปกติ การพนันเป็นสิ่งผิดกฎหมายในประเทศไทย แต่รัฐบาลปัจจุบันพยายามผลักดันให้การเล่นการพนันเป็นสิ่งถูกกฎหมาย ครม.จึงเห็นชอบ ‘ร่าง พ.ร.บ.เอ็นเตอร์เทนเมนต์คอมเพล็กซ์' ฉบับ 'กฤษฎีกา' และกำหนดหลักเกณฑ์ ‘คนไทย' เล่น ‘กาสิโน' ต้องมีเงินฝากในบัญชีฯ ไม่น้อยกว่า 50 ล้านบาท คุมพื้นที่กาสิโนไม่เกิน 10% ดันเข้าสภาก่อนปิดสมัยประชุม 10 เม.ย.68 ปรากฏว่าเวลานี้ มีผู้ออกมาคัดค้านกันเพิ่มขึ้นเรื่อยๆ! ผมเองก็ได้เขียนแสดงจุดยืนไปเมื่อหลายวันก่อนว่า ”คริสเตียนไม่อาจสนับสนุนให้คนไทยโลภ จึงไม่สมควรสนับสนุนให้เปิดบ่อนกาสิโนเสรี!“ และก็เตือนสติต่อไปว่า “การพนันเป็นดุจยาเสพติด เริ่มง่ายแต่เลิกยาก ได้ก็อยากได้อีก เสียก็อยากจะได้คืน จึงเลิกเล่นไม่ได้!”“โจรปล้นสิบครั้ง ยังไม่เสียหายเท่ากับไฟไหม้ครั้งเดียว แต่ไฟไหม้สิบครั้ง ยังไม่หายนะเท่ากับเสียพนันเพียงครั้งเดียว!” จากนั้น สภาคริสตจักรในประเทศไทยและ สภาประมุขบาทหลวงโรมันคาทอลิคแห่งประเทศไทยต่างก็ทยอยออกแถลงการณ์คัดค้านและขอให้รัฐบาลทบทวน ระงับ และยุติ “ร่างพระราชบัญญัติการประกอบธุรกิจสถานบันเทิงครบวงจรพ.ศ.....”นี้ ผมต้องขอแสดงความชื่นชมต่อความกล้าหาญของทุกท่านที่ลุกขึ้นมาคัดค้านการเปิดบ่อนเสรี ไม่ว่าจะเรียกชื่อโครงการนี้ว่าอะไร! แท้จริง สิ่งที่กำลังเกิดขึ้นนี้ ถูกเรียกว่า “การพนันทางการเมือง” นั่นคือ รัฐบาลกำลังเล่นพนันอนาคตของตนเองกับโครงการที่ทัวร์ลงนี้ เหมือนดัง ที่ Benjamin Disraeli(1804~1881)นักการเมือง อดีตรัฐบุรุษและนายกรัฐมนตรีคนสำคัญของสหราชอาณาจักร กล่าวว่า ” ไม่มีการพนันใดจะเปรียบได้กับการเมือง!“ (There is no gambling like politics.) เหล่าคริสตชนจึงขอวิงวอนให้ผู้ที่มีสิทธิอำนาจและหน้าที่ จะระมัดระวังไม่ปล่อยให้การเมืองเป็นเรื่องผลประโยชน์ทางด้านเศรษฐกิจเป็นหลัก โดยมองข้ามผลกระทบ ที่เปรียบเสมือนสึนามิใหญ่ที่จะโหมซัดทำลายล้างจริยธรรม คุณธรรม ศีลธรรม และ วิถีชีวิตที่สงบสุขของประชาชนส่วนใหญ่จากการออกกฎหมายส่งเสริมการเปิดบ่อนเสรีเช่นนี้ นอกจากว่ารัฐบาลจะมีหลักประกันว่าทุกคนที่เข้าบ่อน จะได้เงินทองมาใช้จ่ายทุกครั้งสำหรับตัวเองและครอบครัว(โดยไม่มีวันเสียพนันเลยแม้แต่ครั้งเดียว) เหมือนกับที่ Thomas Dewar(1864~1930) กล่าวว่า “ ไม่มีภรรยาคนใดจะทนกับสามีที่เล่นพนันได้ นอกจากว่าเขาชนะการพนันทุกครั้ง!” ( No wife can endure a gambling husband; unless he is a steady winner.) ซึ่งเราทุกคนต่างก็รู้ว่ากันอยู่แล้วว่า เป็นไปไม่ได้หรอก ….จริงไหมครับ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ธงชัย ประดับชนานุรัตน์7เมษายน2025 (ตอน7ของปีที่5)#YoutubeCJCONNECT #thongchaibsc#คริสตจักรแห่งความรัก #churchoflove #ShareTheLoveForward #ChurchOfJoy #คริสตจักรแห่งความสุข #NimitmaiChristianChurch #คริสตจักรนิมิตใหม่ #ฮักกัยประเทศไทย #อัลฟ่า #หนึ่งล้านความดี#Spotifyสดแต่เช้า

"LOVE IS THE GREATEST.""Even greater than faith, or hope, or any other thing.We celebrate the love of Valentine's Day and appropriately so. That loving celebration is fun, romantic, even emotional. It is a day set aside once to live love and to express our love to all, but especially so to someone special.Love is a word difficult of definition. In fact, it has many component parts. Love is complex, defining itself, manifesting itself in so many different ways. But love is a force without which we can not live, or live right. It is the stuff of life, and without it, life is mere existence, sterile and harsh. Love is the force, the resource of God, an energy which produces the highest and best relationships with OTHERS, and, as we love ourselves, allows us to live life at its highest levels.TO LOVE AND TO BE LOVED IS THE GREATEST HAPPINESS OF EXISTENCE. Sosaid Sydnie Smith.Love out and in is a daily process which produces the greatest happiness. It does indeed. Nothing feels better than to give love, share love, and experience love.NOTHING.""If you had no one to love, you would never be hurt. But, you would never grow. You would never venture outside your own self-centered needs and perceptions. Your heart would never be cracked open so that God could enter it. To love and love unconditionally is to take risks, and especially the risk of rejection. But nothing energizes and cleanses like love.Profound words about love by a poet unknown. To love another, large or small, is the only real way that one can grow as a human being. The risk of loving produces the risk of hurt but even hurt toughens and matures love. The risk of loving another allows one to VENTURE OUTSIDE and to experience. Doing that allows your very own heart to be CRACKED OPEN so that love in its purest sense could enter, that is God Himself. Loving is always risky, and especially the risk of rejection. Rejection hurts but it is part of the loving process. The risk of love is worth it because nothingenergizes like love, and nothing cleanses like love, NOTHING.""Charles Dickens said that a loving heart is the truest wisdom. Knowing life at its best, the most real and the truest wisdom can only be produced by a loving heart, a heart cracked open and wanting more love.""Robert Schuller said that in the presence of love, miracles happen. Love itself is a miracle and the loving miracle produces other miracles. Miracles can and should happen more often and they can and will happen when:LOVE IS AT WORKTrue love allows us insight, real insight into the character and persona of another:“BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, I CATCH GLIMPSES OF THE YOU GOD CREATED, THE TRUE YOU. I SEE YOUR IMPERFECTIONS AND FAILURES, BUT I CHOOSE TO SEE PAST THEM TO THE REAL YOU. LOVE CREATES A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE FREETO BECOME YOUR COMPLETE SELF.”""What a marvelous statement. Perhaps we can only really know another not completely but only with glimpses and those glimpses made possible only because of love.We are all riddled with imperfections and failures, are we not? We can see past things in our desire to find the real person, the real you. Love breaks down those barriers and produces eyes that truly see.Benjamin Disraeli the great English Prime Minister said that:“WE ARE ALL BORN TO LOVE. IT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF ITS EXISTENCE AND ITS ONLY END.”""Born to love, genetic, all that we really are, the very highest principle itself of existence. And, its only end, like the highest and greatest spiritual commandment that we should love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength and our neighbor as ourselves. In fact, we are known as Christians, followers of the Christ:IF YOU HAVE LOVE ONE FOR ANOTHERLove said another is tough, practical, and active. Love is washing the kitchen floor over and over again. Love is scrubbing the toilet and doing the laundry. Love is taking out the garbage and cleaning the refrigerator. Love is smiling when you are tired, finding reasons to laugh even when you are angry, volunteering for a dirty job, working hard, and making the world a better place.Powerful and profound. Indeed, love is practical. Love is very much in the scrubbing of the toilet. Love is there from the one who takes out the garbage. Love indeed delights in the dirty jobs for when you do for the least of these, you do it unto HIM.""And yet more insight into the God of all love:GOD SAYS TO US, IN LOVE, I HOLD YOU IN MY MIND. I REMEMBER YOU. I HOLD ALL OF THE PIECES OF YOU. THE PAST WOUNDS AND THE PRESENT. AND INLOVE, I KNIT THEM TOGETHER INTO THE PERSON I LOVE, THE PERSON I CREATED TO GIVE ME JOY:""YOU.""Held are we in the mind of God, remembering us even as we remember Him, all of our various pieces, wounds, wrongs, and problems no matter. God knits them together and all become the mosaic, the person God loves, the individual and special you.Love frees us of the weight and pain of life! True love always lightens life's heaviestburdens. True love is a force far more powerful than the weapons of any enemy.Life is a flower of which love is the honey, so said Victor Hugo. Love is knit into the very cells of our bodies. It is written into our DNA. It is encoded in the chemicals that make plants green. It is that which makes the sky blue, the substance of the song of the birds in summer, the whisper of the wind in the trees, the silence of the snow as it falls. Love is the voice of God calling to us endlessly and passionately through all HIS marvelous creation.There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear. The more one loves, the less there is of which to be afraid. Love secures and drives our insecurity. Love at work is the most powerful force and energy of all.Take away love, said Robert Browning, and our earth is a tomb. Without love, life is like dead, lifeless, even meaningless. And, if you wish to be loved, LOVE. Any time that is not spent on love is time wasted.True love is a durable fire in the mind ever-burning, never sick, never old, never dead, from itself never turning, so said Sir Walter Raleigh. The durable fire of love burns unquenchable, always alive, always energizing.The great artist Vincent Van Gogh said:“THE HEART THAT LOVES IS ALWAYS YOUNG. LOVE IS A MARVELOUS BEAUTIFIER. LOVE IS ART AT WORK. I ALWAYS THINK THAT THE BEST WAY TO KNOW GOD IS TO LOVE MANY THINGS.”""Indeed, all of art is love at work and there really can be no great art without love. It beautifies and brings out the best in everything.Here, the words of Thomas Merton:“THE BEGINNING OF LOVE IS TO LET THOSE WHO LOVE BE PERFECTLYTHEMSELVES, AND NOT TO TWIST THEM TO FIT OUR OWN IMAGE. OTHERWISE,WE LOVE ONLY THE REFLECTION OF OURSELVES WE FIND IN THEM.”""The more we are perfectly ourselves, living to our highest and best, the more and better of us there is.Love cures people, the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. Love conquers all things, so said the ancient poet, Virgil.""Love allows us to believe so fully and firmly in God even when He is silent!The great thinker-theologian Soren Kierkegaard profoundly stated that when one has once fully entered the realm of love, the world, no matter how imperfect becomes rich and beautiful. It consists solely of opportunities for love.It is love, said Thomas Mann, not reason that is stronger than death. And that love, stronger than and which conquers death is the love of the Christ on the cross and the resurrection which followed.To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others, said Francois Mauriac. Life is replete with invisible miracles which can only be revealed by love at work.If you love somebody, tell them, so said Rod McKuen. The telling unleashes the energy and the power of love.The heart has its reasons which reason alone can not understand, so said the thinker Blaise Pascal. Love is a dimension in life different from and beyond reason itself. The more the mind the less the heart and consequently the less love. Reason no matter how wise can never understand love.The great theologian Paul Tillich said that the first beauty of love is to listen. One who loves wants to listen more than talk, listen to every word, every expression of thought and emotion which comes from the one loved. Listening, really listening in a caring way, may very well be the highest attribute of true love.For those who love, time is eternity. Love is God's finger on man's shoulder. Love is like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and to give thanks for another day of loving. Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson said:“TIS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAN NEVER TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL.”""Love indeed is risky, the risk of rejection but a life lived without true love is a life never really lived at all.I love you, says Anna Corbin, as you are, not as you wish to be. I love you for the real person you are, not the imaginary perhaps I fantasize you could be. I love the real,amazing, utterly unique YOU.""Love in the ultimate, unconditional, love so REAL.If you love until it hurts, really hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love said the wonderfully loving Mother Teresa. True love at work drives away the hurt.""Looking back, said one, I have this to regret. That too often when I loved, I did not say so. Love uncommunicated is love aborted. It is there but never shared. More time is spent judging people which leaves less time to love them.Zelda Fitzgerald said that nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much love the heart can hold. There is no limit to love, none whatsoever. Love is there, always and love takes up when knowledge leaves off. In fact, love is the supreme knowledge, superior to all else.Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred. Love at work produces the holiest of the holies. The great English statesman William E. Gladstone said the following:“WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE TIME WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE WILL REPLACE THE LOVE OF POWER. THEN WILL OUR WORLD KNOW THE BLESSINGS OF PEACE. POWER KILLS LOVE AND WITHOUT LOVE, THERE IS NO PEACE. THERE ISNOTHING MORE POWERFUL BEFORE AND EVER AGAIN THAN LOVE.”""The theologian Reinhold Niebuhr said the following:“WE ARE SAVED BY THE FINAL FORM OF LOVE, WHICH IS FORGIVENESS. FORGIVING AND FORGETTING ARE THE HIGHEST ACTS OF LOVE RESULTING IN OUR SALVATION. THERE WAS ONE, YEARS AGO, DRIVEN TO THE CROSS BY THE LOVE OF MANKIND PROVIDING IN HIS DEATH THE LIFE AND THE LOVE WE LEAD.THE CROSS WAS THE FINAL AND FORGIVING FORM OF LOVE.”""The crucifixion of the Christ on the cross was indeed the ultimate act of love. The great writer C.S. Lewis said the following:“TO LOVE AT ALL IS TO BE VULNERABLE. LOVE ANYTHING AND YOUR HEART WILL CERTAINLY BE WRUNG AND POSSIBLY BROKEN. LOVE BREAKS DOWN ALL BARRIERS, OPENS WIDE THE HEART, EXPOSES TRUE INNOCENCE AND RISKS THE WRINGING AND THE BREAKING OF THIS MORE PRIZED POSSESSION. REAL LOVE DEMANDS THIS, CONSTANTLY.”Sir Arthur Pinero said that “those who love deeply never grow old. They may die of old age, but they die young at heart.”That deep love here and now is but a prelude to the perfect love there. In fact, they are one love contiguous and continuous. Love is both earthly and eternal. Love never dies. For there is only one real happiness in life and that is to love and to be loved.The great writer Ralph Waldo Emerson said:“NEVER SELF-POSSESSED OR PRUDENT, LOVE IS ALL ABANDONMENT.”""True love is pure risk, always. Love at work risks hurt to the self and rejection by another. But the risk at work is what makes the word of love so special.""Vulnerability, openness, risk but so great reward.Hear then the marvelous words of the great poet William Wordsworth:“A PERSON CAN BE SO CHANGED BY LOVE AS TO BE UNRECOGNIZABLE AS THE SAME PERSON. LOVE TRANSFORMS, REGENERATES. LOVE PRODUCES CHANGE, EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYONE. LOVE BETTERS WHAT IS BEST!”""The great philosopher Plato said that love is the best friend of human kind, the helper and the healer of all ills that stand in the way of human happiness. In fact, love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries and without them, humanity can not survive. And for some real definition of the word love, hear the words of Saint Augustine:“WHAT DOES LOVE LOOK LIKE? WHY, IT HAS HANDS TO HELP OTHERS. IT HAS FEET TO HASTEN TO THE POOR AND NEEDY. IT HAS EYES TO SEE MISERY AND WANT. IT HAS EARS TO HEAR THE SIGHS AND SORROWS OF HUMANKIND. THATIS WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE!”""Amen and amen. Hands and feet at work, eyes and ears to see and hear human need. Love at work is what love really is.Love comes supreme and most innocently from a child. A child's love is pure, uncomplicated, unconditional, fully trusting. Such innocence opens deep the world of feeling and emotion and it is a return to that childlike love and that ability to love which alone can make complete the adult version of that child. May we all be wise enough to return to the innocent love of a little child.And so my friends, my fellow Americans, we the Crawford Broadcasting Company wish you all of the love possible on Valentine's Day and during Valentine's week. May love in all its forms permeate your life and may you know the supreme love of the One who laid down His life for you. Live love every day and know the real and true meaning of life.And finally, the profound words of poet Emily Dickenson:“IF I CAN STOP ONE HEART FROM BREAKINGI SHALL NOT LIVE IN VAINIF I CAN EASE ONE LIFE THE ACHING OR COOL ONE PAINOR HELP ONE FAINTING ROBIN IN TO HIS NEST AGAINI SHALL NOT LIVE IN VAIN!”""Love is the greatest!"

De winterboekeneditie van Betrouwbare Bronnen weerspiegelt de turbulentie rond het leiderschap van deze tijd. Mark Rutte fietste weg van het Torentje, Dries van Agt stierf hoogbejaard na een rijk leven, van Ruud Lubbers kwam een monumentale biografie uit en Ruttes favoriete collega Angela Merkel schreef haar autobiografie. Olaf Scholz viel, net als Rishi Sunak en Michel Barnier. En met Dick Schoof kwam een premier aan het roer die lijkt op een romanfiguur van Robert Musil, Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger bespreken boeken die allerlei dimensies en verhalen bevatten over premiers, politieke leiders en hun leven en werk. En wat wij daarvan kunnen leren.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***1] Jaap de Haan - De eerste minister van de Republiek (Amsterdam University Press)Wie waren de Ruud en Mark van de Gouden Eeuw? Jaap de Haan promoveerde op het functioneren en regeren door de burgerlijke leider van die heel aparte staat, de Republiek, dus van de raadspensionaris. Hij laat zien, dat zij veel weg hadden van machtige mannen elders in Europa die onder een absolute monarch de touwtjes in handen hielden. Een Richelieu, een Cromwell of een Metternich.Johan van Oldebarnevelt maakte deze functie als geen ander en die machtspositie kostte hem letterlijk de kop. Johan de Witt kon regeren zonder een Oranjeprins en domineerde, hoewel hij Ruttiaans bescheiden deed. Toen ook hij ten onder ging in 1672 kwam de minder bekende Gaspar Fagel aan het bewind. En juist die blijkt in dit boek een erg leerzame en handige leider te zijn geweest. Met prins Willem III speelde hij good cop, bad cop. Zo pakten ze samen de stad Amsterdam aan!2] Robert Harris – Afgrond (Cargo)Een roman over een premier? Jazeker, en wat voor een. Robert Harris komt met een huzarenstukje, een spannende detective over waargebeurde verwikkelingen tussen de man in Downing Street 10 en een societygirl van adel.Herbert Asquith was obsessioneel verliefd en schreef Venetia Stanley honderden brieven terwijl de Eerste Wereldoorlog uitbrak. Staatsgeheimen, verslagen van de ministerraad, telegrammen van de tsaar, het rolde allemaal in haar brievenbus. Het is alsof Evelyn Waugh een Downton Abbey tv-serie schrijft vermengd met geopolitieke explosies en een gisse jongen van de Secret Service, die op het spoor komt van Venetia. Hoe loopt dit af?3] Remieg Arts, Coen Brummer, Gertjan Schutte (red.) – Machtswoorden (Prometheus)Premiers zijn vaak schrijvers. Hun woorden hebben impact. Als ideoloog, als strateeg, als memoiresauteur en soms zelfs als romancier. Denk maar aan Benjamin Disraeli! Machtswoorden is een rijk en origineel boek met een reeks essays over politici als auteurs en hoe schrijven en ook op die wijze boodschappen verspreiden door en door politiek kan zijn.De kinderboeken van Jan Terlouw, de duizenden krantenstukken van Abraham Kuyper, de sociale essays van Sam van Houten, politieke brochures tegen het koloniaal bewind in Indië en de persoonlijke worstelingen en belevenissen van de eerste generatie allochtone politici, het zijn allemaal bijzondere genres die soms van grote betekenis blijken voor politiek denken en handelen.Een verrassende ontdekking in de bundel is de radicale democraat en pro-Franse patriot Pieter Vreede. Hij was als politiek auteur buitengewoon actief en controversieel. Pleegde een staatsgreep, maar moest uiteindelijk na Napoleons val zoete broodjes bakken met het Oranjehuis. Een leven waarin vele regimes elkaar opvolgden en Vreede steeds weer zijn nek uitstak.4] Auke van der Woud - De steden, de Mensen 1850-1900 (Prometheus)Auke van der Woud is de Jürgen Osterhammel van ons land. Hij beschrijft de transformatie van Nederland in de 19e eeuw. Zijn boek analyseert hoe na 1850 het verpauperde land in een ongekende 'Tweede Gouden Eeuw' ontpopte tot een wereldwijd actieve, expansionistische economische macht.Hij maakt ook korte metten met legendes als die van de 'kanalenkoning' Willem I die zo'n vooruitziende blik zou hebben gehad. En analyseert waarom premier Thorbecke zo cruciaal was. Hij gaf bestuurlijk, economisch en logistiek het land een redesign en ontketende nieuwe economische en financiële krachten.Voor premier Schoof en minister Sophie Hermans is het deel van dit boek over de energietransitie van die decennia toen verplicht leesvoer. Wat Kees Vendrik in Betrouwbare Bronnen 471 'de grootste verbouwing van Nederland ooit' noemde, heeft een voorloper gehad, waarbij alle uitdagingen van nu zich evenzeer aandienden.5] Robert Caro - The Power Broker (Alfred A. Knopf) Als het gaat om boeken over mensen met macht en wat macht met mensen doet, kun je niet heen om Robert Caro. Zijn (tot nu toe) vier delen over LBJ zijn de legendarische gouden standaard van boeken over presidenten. Zijn boek The Power Broker is dat over bijna onzichtbare machtsdieren in het openbaar bestuur, zoals Robert Moses, de baas van openbare werken van New York City (1888-1981).Dat boek verscheen in 1974 en is nooit weggeweest uit de boekhandel. De vijftigste verjaardag is reden tot een expositie in het stadsmuseum van NYC, zo beroemd is Caro hiermee geworden. Voor Barack Obama heeft dit boek als student zijn visie op de politiek bepaald.Caro kreeg het bij verschijnen van het magnum opus aan de stok met de hoogbejaarde potentaat. Maar het boek is toch vooral ook een uiting van respect voor diens visionaire blik, zijn daadkracht, lef en finesse van manipulatie en politieke kracht. Moses was 'larger than life'. Net als LBJ en even energiek en meedogenloos. Wellicht dat ook daarom Mark Rutte zo'n fan is?6] Nancy Pelosi - The Art of Power (Simon & Schuster)Is zij de Robert Moses van DC? Een machtsdier, onstuitbaar energiek, gedreven, een 'living legend' ook? Nancy Pelosi was alleen allesbehalve onzichtbaar en ze ontleende haar macht wel aan verkiezingen.Haar boek over de kunst van de macht is zeer persoonlijk en vol lessen uit de meest kritische momenten in de vele decennia van haar leven als parlementariër en de eerste vrouw als voorzitter van het Huis. Ze komen allemaal langs, de Bushes, de Clintons, Trump, Xi, Poetin en de Obamas. Ze krijgen er soms ook stevig van langs, zeker als je goed tussen de regels doorleest!Uit dit boek leer je waarom de Republikeinen uiteraard de politieke tegenstander zijn, maar de Senaat de politieke vijand. Duidelijk schetst Pelosi waarom the Speaker zo'n beetje de raadspensionaris van Amerika is en dus een beetje de premier. Die bepaalt met het Huis de begroting en de wetten. Niet de president en zeker niet de Senaat.Een sterke Speaker kan een president maken of breken als deze 'de kunst van het mogelijke' bij machtsuitoefening beheerst. The Art of Power, zoals Otto von Bismarck het al noemde.Het boek begint en eindigt met grof geweld. Eerst de gijzeling en bijna moord van haar man Paul Pelosi in hun eigen huis in San Francisco en tot slot de bestorming van het Capitool op 6 januari 2021. Zij ziet die als een poging tot staatsgreep zoals in Latijns-Amerika en is ervan overtuigd dat zij dit alleen door een wonder heeft overleefd.7] Mathieu Segers - Europa en het idee uit de toekomst (Prometheus)Precies een jaar geleden brachten wij postuum een saluut aan professor Mathieu Segers die zo jong stierf, maar zelf nog zijn magnifieke boek over Europa aan ons had toegestuurd. Dat is nu vertaald: Europa en het idee uit de toekomst.Elke pagina van het boek schittert met verrassende inzichten en onbekende feiten en mensen uit de voorgeschiedenis van de Europese unie. Maar juist nu valt het begin zo op. Segers zag het moment gekomen dat Europa zich opnieuw moest uitvinden. Precies wat de ook in december 2023 overleden Jacques Delors zei en wat in het jaar na hun beider dood de kern werd van Mario Draghi's uitdagende rapport.

Sean bienvenidos a otro nuevo Spaces aqui en Twitter. Esta vez vamos a realizar un análisis de la película falso documental La Conspiración. Les sugiero que si no han visto la película lo hagan antes de escuchar nuestro análisis ya que vamos a destriparla completamente. Digamos que será no solo un spoiler de lo que podrían ver allí si no mas bien un desmenuzamiento de sus partes. Intentaremos desmontar la película trozo a trozo. Vamos a entrar en la sala del despiece del toro, je, je, je. Para ello utilizare un extracto de lo que nos dice chat GPT de esta película. 1. Introducción El documento "The Conspiracy" comienza con una cita significativa de Benjamin Disraeli, Primer Ministro británico de 1874 a 1880, quien mencionó que el mundo es gobernado por personajes muy diferentes a los imaginados. Esta cita sirve como punto de partida para adentrarse en la temática central del texto: la conspiración. La introducción plantea la idea de que la humanidad, en su conjunto, no es libre y que la supuesta libertad que se percibe es solo una ilusión creada por aquellos en el poder. Esta ilusión de libertad y elección es una de las primeras ideas que se presentan para cuestionar la realidad en la que viven las personas. El texto introduce al lector en un ambiente de sospecha y desconfianza hacia los poderes establecidos, sugiriendo que los individuos no son más que piezas en un juego manejado por otros. Esta premisa establece un tono sombrío y desafiante, aludiendo a la manipulación de masas y al control social que se ejercerían desde las sombras. 2. Fenómeno de las Teorías de la Conspiración El documento continúa explorando el fenómeno de las teorías de la conspiración, describiendo cómo estas han capturado la atención de las personas no solo por las teorías mismas, sino por el comportamiento y la mentalidad de quienes creen en ellas. Se hace énfasis en que las teorías conspirativas representan un fenómeno social fascinante que debe ser entendido para poder ser disipado. Este apartado discute la atracción que ejercen las teorías de la conspiración sobre ciertos individuos y cómo estas teorías crean una comunidad de personas que comparten una visión alternativa del mundo, una visión que cuestiona las narrativas oficiales y que busca desentrañar lo que perciben como una verdad oculta. La creencia en conspiraciones no solo afecta la percepción de la realidad de los individuos, sino que también tiene un impacto significativo en el comportamiento social y político de estas comunidades. 3. Encuentro con Terrance G. Uno de los personajes centrales del documento es Terrance G., un conspirador local cuya vida y creencias son exploradas a través de la narrativa. Se introduce al lector al entorno de Terrance, que se describe como un lugar donde él ha acumulado y organizado una vasta cantidad de información relacionada con diversas teorías de la conspiración. Este espacio, denominado por Terrance como "El Cuarto de Guerra", está lleno de recortes, documentos, y conexiones que él ha trazado entre eventos históricos y decisiones políticas, todos los cuales, en su visión, forman parte de una gran conspiración global. Nos lo muestran casi como un vagabundo, una persona desaseada y con una vida al borde del colapso en una casa descuidada. El "Cuarto de Guerra" de Terrance es emblemático de cómo los conspiracionistas organizan y procesan la información, buscando patrones y conexiones que, en muchos casos, son interpretados como evidencia irrefutable de sus creencias. Este entorno refleja una mentalidad profundamente analítica y a la vez obsesiva, donde cada nuevo dato es insertado en una red preexistente de suposiciones y creencias, reforzando aún más la visión del mundo que tiene Terrance. 4. Ejemplos de Conspiraciones Gobernamentales El documento menciona varios ejemplos específicos de lo que se presentan como conspiraciones gubernamentales, las cuales Terrance y otros como él creen que son parte de un plan más amplio de control y dominación. Estos ejemplos incluyen: Ley de Comisiones Militares (2006): Se describe cómo esta ley permite la detención indefinida de ciudadanos estadounidenses en lugares no revelados, lo que es visto como una herramienta para silenciar la disidencia y mantener el control social. Proyecto de ley H.R. 645 y los campos de FEMA (2009): Este proyecto de ley autoriza al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional a establecer una red de campos de internamiento en caso de una emergencia nacional. Terrance interpreta esto como una preparación para la implementación de la ley marcial y el control total de la población. Estos ejemplos son utilizados por Terrance para ilustrar su argumento de que existe una conspiración generalizada para restringir las libertades individuales y centralizar el poder en manos de unos pocos. Terrance conecta estos eventos legislativos con una serie de otras acciones gubernamentales y eventos históricos, sugiriendo que todos son parte de un patrón más grande y siniestro. 5. La Comunidad Conspiratoria en Línea Un aspecto crucial del documento es la descripción de la comunidad conspiracionista en línea. Este grupo de personas, que interactúa principalmente a través de foros y salas de chat virtuales como el "Café del Conspirador", es visto como una subcultura unida por su devoción a descubrir "la verdad". Esta comunidad utiliza Internet no solo como una herramienta para compartir información, sino también como un espacio para reforzar sus creencias y conectar con otros que comparten sus perspectivas. El documento destaca cómo Internet ha jugado un papel dual en la propagación de teorías conspirativas. Por un lado, permite la difusión rápida y masiva de ideas que cuestionan la narrativa oficial, desafiando los medios de comunicación tradicionales que históricamente han controlado la información. Por otro lado, Internet también facilita la vigilancia masiva, lo que refuerza la percepción de un control omnipresente por parte del "Gran Hermano". Un ejemplo concreto dentro del texto es la descripción de un video viral que muestra a Terrance compartiendo sus ideas, lo cual provoca no solo burlas sino también un sorprendente número de comentarios de apoyo. Este episodio ilustra cómo las teorías conspirativas encuentran un eco en sectores de la población que están dispuestos a aceptar narrativas alternativas, especialmente en un entorno donde la desconfianza hacia las instituciones es alta. 6. Teorías Clásicas de la Conspiración El documento explora varias teorías de conspiración bien conocidas que son parte integral del discurso de Terrance y de la comunidad conspirativa en general: Reserva Federal y control financiero: Se argumenta que la Reserva Federal es una institución que manipula la economía imprimiendo dinero sin respaldo, manteniendo al gobierno de los EE.UU. perpetuamente endeudado y bajo el control de poderes financieros ocultos. El Gran Hermano y la vigilancia: Terrance señala que la profecía de George Orwell sobre un estado de vigilancia total se ha hecho realidad, pero de una manera que el propio Orwell no anticipó: los ciudadanos mismos han creado y aceptado este sistema de vigilancia, especialmente a través de las redes sociales y la tecnología digital. Militarización y el papel de las milicias: Se discute el papel de las milicias en la historia de los EE.UU. y cómo, según Terrance, la constitución del país fue defendida inicialmente por milicias, no por un ejército regular. Este argumento es utilizado para justificar la existencia de milicias modernas que se preparan para resistir lo que perciben como un gobierno tiránico. Principales grupos conspirativos mencionados: El documento enumera varios grupos que son recurrentes en las teorías de conspiración, incluyendo el Grupo Bilderberg, los Illuminati, Bohemian Grove, el Consejo de Relaciones Exteriores CFR, y figuras como los Rothschild y los Rockefeller. Estos grupos y familias son vistos como los verdaderos poderes detrás de los gobiernos y las instituciones globales. Estos ejemplos de teorías conspirativas son fundamentales para entender el marco mental de Terrance y su comunidad. Cada teoría representa una pieza de un rompecabezas más grande, que juntos forman la visión de un mundo gobernado en secreto por una élite poderosa y despiadada. 7. Eventos Históricos Relacionados con Conspiraciones El documento también analiza varios eventos históricos que han sido reinterpretados por la comunidad conspiracionista como pruebas de conspiraciones masivas: Incidente del Lusitania y la Primera Guerra Mundial: Se menciona cómo el hundimiento del RMS Lusitania, un barco de pasajeros, fue utilizado como pretexto para que Estados Unidos entrara en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Terrance sugiere que este evento fue deliberadamente provocado para justificar la entrada del país en el conflicto. Incidente del Golfo de Tonkin y la Guerra de Vietnam: Similarmente, el incidente del Golfo de Tonkin es presentado como una fabricación destinada a justificar la guerra en Vietnam. Un documento desclasificado de la NSA que indica que el incidente nunca ocurrió es utilizado como prueba de esta manipulación. El 9/11 y sus teorías asociadas: El ataque del 11 de septiembre de 2001 es interpretado como un "ataque de falsa bandera", un evento creado o permitido por el propio gobierno de los EE.UU. para justificar la guerra en el Medio Oriente y la expansión del control interno a través de la seguridad nacional. Estos eventos históricos son fundamentales para el discurso conspirativo porque proporcionan precedentes de cómo, supuestamente, los gobiernos han manipulado a sus ciudadanos a lo largo del tiempo. Al conectar estos eventos, los conspiracionistas como Terrance construyen una narrativa que sugiere un patrón continuo de engaño y control. 8. Desaparición de Terrance En un momento determinado los documentalistas no logran ponerse en contacto con Terrance. Al final el casero les abre la puerta y ven que hay evidencias de lucha en la casa y que alguien ha desordenado las cosas de Terrance. Este no esta y sin embargo se ha dejado su tablón de recortes, que obviamente es un objeto muy valioso para el. Uno de los dos documentalistas, Aaron, decide llevarse los recortes de Terrance a su casa. Todo parece ir bien, hasta que en un momento dado algo hace click en la mente de Aaron y decide montar el puzzle que estaba haciendo Terrance. Su amigo ve lo que esta haciendo y cree que este se ha vuelto loco. Pero empieza a atar hilos y da con un patrón que lo lleva al club Tarsus. 9. Investigación sobre el Club Tarsus Uno de los hilos conductores más intrigantes del documento es la investigación sobre el Club Tarsus, una organización secreta que, según Aaron uno de los documentalistas, está detrás de muchos de los eventos más importantes del mundo. Esta organización es presentada como un retiro exclusivo para la élite global, donde se toman decisiones que afectan al futuro de la humanidad. El pseudo documental relata cómo Aaron descubre un patrón en las fechas de reuniones del Club Tarsus, las cuales preceden a eventos mundiales significativos. Un artículo escrito por un tal Mark Tucker y publicado en la revista Time en 2003, menciona estas reuniones y sugiere que los asistentes al Club Tarsus han jugado un papel en la configuración de la política global. Aunque el artículo fue censurado en su momento, la información que contiene es suficiente para que Aaron empiece a conectar puntos y formular una teoría de conspiración que gira en torno a esta organización. El Club Tarsus es descrito como un grupo de poderosos individuos que, desde la sombra, manipulan los mercados financieros, la política exterior, y otros aspectos críticos de la vida global. Se hace una analogía con la manipulación que ejercen las grandes corporaciones y las figuras políticas que participan en estas reuniones, sugiriendo que estos son los verdaderos gobernantes del mundo. 10. El Culto a Mitra En su investigación, Aaron también descubre lo que él cree es una conexión entre el Club Tarsus y el antiguo culto a Mitra. Este culto, que data de más de 4,000 años, tiene sus raíces en Persia y se extendió por todo el Imperio Romano. Según el documento, el culto a Mitra era tanto una asociación secreta como un culto religioso, y sus rituales y creencias podrían haber influido en las sociedades secretas modernas. El culto a Mitra es conocido por su ritual central, en el cual Mitra mata a un toro, una imagen que es comparada en el documento con la crucifixión en la cristiandad. Este rito de matar al toro es visto como un símbolo de poder y dominación, y se sugiere que las sociedades secretas modernas, incluyendo el Club Tarsus, podrían estar emulando estos antiguos ritos. El documento también menciona cómo algunas de las costumbres y prácticas de estas sociedades secretas podrían haber sido adoptadas de los mitraistas, como el apretón de manos, que según el texto, se originó en las ceremonias mitraicas. Este simbolismo refuerza la idea de que las élites modernas están conectadas con antiguos cultos y que su poder está enraizado en prácticas esotéricas. 11. Rituales del Club Tarsus Uno de los aspectos más oscuros y enigmáticos del documento es la descripción de los rituales que, según Terrance, tienen lugar en las reuniones del Club Tarsus. Se narra cómo los documentalistas logran infiltrarse en una de estas reuniones y grabar en secreto parte de un ritual, lo que supuestamente revela prácticas que van más allá de simples reuniones políticas o económicas. El ritual mencionado en el documento involucra la caza y masacre de un toro, un acto que es interpretado como una continuación de los antiguos rituales del culto a Mitra. La descripción del ritual es perturbadora y sugiere que estos actos tienen un significado profundo para los participantes, posiblemente relacionado con la reafirmación de su poder y control. La infiltración en el Club Tarsus, sin embargo, no solo revela los rituales, sino también el alto nivel de seguridad y secretismo que rodea estas reuniones. A pesar de la captura de imágenes y la obtención de información, el documento deja claro que quienes intentan exponer estas prácticas son rápidamente silenciados o desacreditados, manteniendo así la invisibilidad y el poder del Club. 12. Entrevista con William Jensen En una parte del documento se detalla una entrevista con William Jensen, fundador del Club Tarso Internacional, quien ofrece una perspectiva diferente sobre las acusaciones de conspiración. Jensen reconoce que el Club Tarsus ha sido objeto de numerosas teorías de conspiración, pero sugiere que estas teorías son simplemente una respuesta al hecho de que personas poderosas se reúnan y tomen decisiones que afectan al mundo. Jensen también discute cómo la globalización y la era de la información han creado un ambiente donde cualquier persona con una idea puede compartirla con millones, lo que ha facilitado la propagación de teorías de la conspiración. A pesar de esto, Jensen no niega que el Club Tarsus tiene influencia global, aunque trata de minimizar las acusaciones sugiriendo que lo que el club busca es una comunidad global unificada, un "Nuevo Orden Mundial", pero sin las connotaciones siniestras que le atribuyen los conspiracionistas. Esta entrevista es importante porque presenta el lado oficial de la historia, donde las reuniones del Club Tarsus son vistas como una fuerza positiva para la cooperación internacional y la creación de un mundo más interconectado. Sin embargo, para aquellos que ya están convencidos de las conspiraciones, las palabras de Jensen pueden parecer solo un intento de encubrimiento. 13. Conclusión El documento concluye con la desaparición de Aaron, uno de los investigadores que intentaba descubrir la verdad detrás del Club Tarsus. Esta desaparición, junto con la de Terrance, deja un sentimiento de inquietud y de preguntas sin respuesta. Se sugiere que aquellos que se acercan demasiado a la verdad son eliminados o forzados a desaparecer, lo que refuerza la narrativa conspirativa. La reflexión final del documento se centra en la idea de que, aunque estas teorías puedan parecer descabelladas, el hecho de que tantas personas crean en ellas indica una profunda desconfianza en las instituciones y un deseo de entender el mundo de una manera que las narrativas oficiales no pueden satisfacer. La película/documental cierra con un mensaje sobre la necesidad de cuestionar la realidad y estar alerta ante las fuerzas que podrían estar trabajando en las sombras para manipular a la humanidad. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Me gustaria hablar de catacumbas cristianas, hipogeos o Mitreos de culto a Mitra y como ambas religiones estuvieron juntas durante por lo menos 300 años y lógicamente se produjo una colusión entre ambas. Lo que podríamos denominar como sincretismo entre el cristianismo y el culto a Mitra. Veamos algunos aspectos en los que ambas religiones coincidían y no solo en la ventana temporal y el culto subterráneo, dado que el cristianismo inicio su andadura perseguido por Roma y el culto mitraico se celebraba en cuevas para festejar el nacimiento de Mitra en una cueva. Digamos que en ambos casos, Jesucristo en un pajar con animales y Mitra en una cueva, eligieron sitios poco elegantes para nacer. El mitraísmo tenía rasgos de profundo simbolismo moral como el cristianismo. Era un culto totalmente cerrado, cofradía, que en eso recuerda al cristianismo de los primeros siglos, con sus agrupamientos exclusivos y su culto enteramente secreto. El secreto del mitraísmo no era la fe sino los ritos. Ritos de sacrificio y mitos de sacrificio como en el cristianismo. Cristo entregado a la muerte para borrar los pecados de los hombres. La trinidad cristiana, a diferencia del dios único del judaísmo, se asemeja a la trinidad de los cultos politeístas mitríacos, Padre Zeus en grecia u Ormazd en Persia, Mitra y el toro, o sea Padre, hijo y espíritu santo. El joven dios era hermoso, valiente, puro y enseñaba una moral austera que practicaba él mismo como Jesucristo. En el mitraísmo, existían siete niveles de iniciación, que pueden estar relacionados con los siete planetas de la astronomía de la época (Luna, Mercurio, Venus, Sol, Marte, Júpiter y Saturno), en este mismo orden, según la interpretación de Joseph Campbell. La mayoría de los miembros llegaban únicamente, hasta el cuarto grado (leo) y solo unos escogidos accedían a los rangos superiores. Los niveles, conocidos gracias a un texto de San Jerónimo que confirman varias inscripciones, eran los siguientes: Corax (cuervo); Cryphius (κρύφιος) (oculto). Otros autores interpretan este rango como Nymphus (esposo); Miles (soldado). Sus atributos eran la corona y la espada; Leo (león). En los rituales presentaban a Mitra las ofrendas de los sacrificios; Perses (persa); Heliodromus (emisario solar). Sus atributos eran la antorcha, el látigo y la corona;. Pater (padre). Sus atributos (el gorro frigio, la vara y el anillo) recuerdan a los del obispo cristiano. En los ritos, los iniciados llevaban máscaras de animales relativas a su nivel de iniciación y se dividían en dos grupos: los servidores, por debajo del grado de leo y los participantes, el resto. Parece ser que el rito principal de la religión mitraica era un banquete ritual, que pudo tener ciertas similitudes con la eucaristía del cristianismo. En algún momento de la evolución del mitraísmo, se utilizó también el rito del taurobolium o bautismo de los fieles con la sangre de un toro. Se prometía la expiación de los pecados por el efecto del baño. Solo en este culto se unía al bautismo la imposición de un signo en la frente, como en la Iglesia cristiana. Los alimentos ofrecidos en el banquete eran pan y agua, pero los hallazgos arqueológicos apuntan a que se trataba de pan y vino, como en el rito cristiano. Esta ceremonia se celebraba en la parte central del mitreo, en la que dos banquetas paralelas ofrecían espacio suficiente para que los fieles pudieran tenderse, según la costumbre romana, para participar del banquete. El día sagrado del mitraísmo era el domingo, y no el sábado. El día natalicio del sol era celebrado por los mitraicos el 25 de diciembre ya que conmemoraba el nacimiento de Mitra. Los atributos del pater —máximo nivel de iniciación en el mitraísmo— eran el gorro frigio, la vara y el anillo, muy similares a la mitra, el báculo y el anillo de los obispos cristianos. Si. Por si no lo sabéis desde los primeros Padres de la Iglesia todos los obispos y papas han llevado un sombrero llamado Mitra arriba de sus cabezas.

fWotD Episode 2689: Charles William Fremantle Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 14 September 2024 is Charles William Fremantle.Sir Charles William Fremantle (12 August 1834 – 8 October 1914) was a British governmental official who served 26 years as deputy master of the Royal Mint. As the chancellor of the exchequer was ex officio master of the Royal Mint beginning in 1870, Fremantle was its executive head for almost a quarter century.Educated at Eton College, Fremantle entered the Treasury in 1853 as a clerk. He served as private secretary to several officials, lastly Benjamin Disraeli, both while Disraeli was chancellor of the exchequer, and then in 1868 while he was prime minister. Disraeli's appointment of Fremantle as deputy master of the Royal Mint excited some controversy but was supported by his political rival William Gladstone.Fremantle began as deputy master to Thomas Graham, the master of the Mint. Graham died in September 1869, and the Treasury decided the mastership should go to the chancellor of the day, with the deputy master the administrative head of the Royal Mint. Fremantle began work to modernise the antiquated Royal Mint. Much of the work had to wait until the Royal Mint was reconstructed at its premises at Tower Hill in 1882. Fremantle sought to beautify the coinage and, believing the Mint's engraver, Leonard Charles Wyon, not up to the task, sought to do so by resurrecting classic coin designs, like Benedetto Pistrucci's depiction of St George and the dragon for the sovereign.In 1894, at the age of sixty, Fremantle retired from the Royal Mint and thereafter spent time as a corporate director and as a magistrate. He died in 1914, just under two months after his eightieth birthday.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:55 UTC on Saturday, 14 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Charles William Fremantle on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joey.

The ‘Great Stink' - when the stench of untreated human and industrial waste was amplified by a particularly hot Summer - reached a peak on 15th July, 1858, when members of Parliament lead by Benjamin Disraeli rushed through an emergency cleanup bill, kickstarting a transformative revamp of London's sewage system. Prior to this, waste from factories, slaughterhouses, and households accumulated on the capital's riverbanks, creating a thick, malodorous crust. Most Londoners believed that bad air caused illness, rather than the poisoned water itself - a misunderstanding which initially led people to simply cover their noses to avoid the stench. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal the desperate methods attempted by MPs in order to prevent the stench from entering the Palace of Westminster; marvel at the architectural ambition of Sir Joseph Bazalgette, chief engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works; and explain why the ‘miasma theory' had gone unchallenged for centuries…  Further Reading: • ‘Too hot?

Quizás no podamos controlar todas las situaciones que nos rodean, pero sí tenemos el poder de decidir cómo responder ante ellas. Hay quienes se aferran únicamente a las circunstancias, viviendo cada día en función de lo que les sucede. Basan sus estados de ánimo e incluso sus emociones en los acontecimientos externos. ¿Pero es esta una forma saludable de vivir? Personalmente, creo que no. Al contrario, debemos ser quienes dominen las circunstancias, en lugar de permitir que ellas nos dominen a nosotros. Es crucial entender que no estamos definidos únicamente por lo que nos sucede, sino por cómo elegimos responder a lo que nos sucede. Como dijo el estadista británico Benjamin Disraeli: "El hombre no es esclavo de las circunstancias. Las circunstancias son producto del hombre". ¿Qué tipo de situaciones estás enfrentando hoy? ¿Te estás dejando llevar por ellas o has logrado responder de manera positiva? Como reza el dicho: "Solo alcanza el éxito en este mundo aquel que se levanta, busca las circunstancias y las crea si no las encuentra". Quien se encuentra atrapado en las mismas circunstancias es aquel que no ha tenido la paciencia ni la determinación para cambiarlas, permitiendo que su vida sea moldeada por ellas. Después de todo, el carácter de cualquier acción está influenciado por el entorno en el que se lleva a cabo. Recuerda siempre que "las circunstancias no definen al hombre, simplemente lo revelan". Y, sobre todo, ten presente que Dios está por encima de tus circunstancias y puede acompañarte y ayudarte en cada una de ellas. La Biblia dice en Filipenses 4:13, “Todo lo puedo hacer por medio de Cristo, quien me da las fuerzas” (NTV).

LOVE IS THE GREATEST.Even greater than faith, or hope, or any other thing.We celebrate the love of Valentine's Day and appropriately so. That loving celebration is fun, romantic, even emotional. It is a day set aside once to live love and to express our love to all, but especially so to someone special.Love is a word difficult of definition. In fact, it has many component parts. Love is complex, defining itself, manifesting itself in so many different ways. But love is a force without which we can not live, or live right. It is the stuff of life, and without it, life is mere existence, sterile and harsh. Love is the force, the resource of God, an energy which produces the highest and best relationships with OTHERS, and, as we love ourselves, allows us to live life at its highest levels.TO LOVE AND TO BE LOVED IS THE GREATEST HAPPINESS OF EXISTENCE. So said Sydnie Smith.Love out and in is a daily process which produces the greatest happiness. It does indeed. Nothing feels better than to give love, share love, and experience love. NOTHING.If you had no one to love, you would never be hurt. But, you would never grow. You would never venture outside your own self-centered needs and perceptions. Your heart would never be cracked open so that God could enter it. To love and love unconditionally is to take risks, and especially the risk of rejection. But nothing energizes and cleanses like love.Profound words about love by a poet unknown. To love another, large or small, is the only real way that one can grow as a human being. The risk of loving produces the risk of hurt but even hurt toughens and matures love. The risk of loving another allows one to VENTURE OUTSIDE and to experience. Doing that allows your very own heart to be CRACKED OPEN so that love in its purest sense could enter, that is God Himself. Loving is always risky, and especially the risk of rejection. Rejection hurts but it is part of the loving process. The risk of love is worth it because nothing energizes like love, and nothing cleanses like love, NOTHING.Charles Dickens said that a loving heart is the truest wisdom. Knowing life at its best, the most real and the truest wisdom can only be produced by a loving heart, a heart cracked open and wanting more love.Robert Schuller said that in the presence of love, miracles happen. Love itself is amiracle and the loving miracle produces other miracles. Miracles can and shouldhappen more often and they can and will happen when:LOVE IS AT WORKTrue love allows us insight, real insight into the character and persona of another:“BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, I CATCH GLIMPSES OF THE YOU GOD CREATED, THETRUE YOU. I SEE YOUR IMPERFECTIONS AND FAILURES, BUT I CHOOSE TO SEEPAST THEM TO THE REAL YOU. LOVE CREATES A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE FREETO BECOME YOUR COMPLETE SELF.”What a marvelous statement. Perhaps we can only really know another not completelybut only with glimpses and those glimpses made possible only because of love.We are all riddled with imperfections and failures, are we not? We can see past thingsin our desire to find the real person, the real you. Love breaks down those barriersand produces eyes that truly see.Benjamin Disraeli the great English Prime Minister said that:“WE ARE ALL BORN TO LOVE. IT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF ITS EXISTENCE AND ITSONLY END.”Born to love, genetic, all that we really are, the very highest principle itself of existence.And, its only end, like the highest and greatest spiritual commandment that we shouldlove the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength and our neighboras ourselves. In fact, we are known as Christians, followers of the Christ:IF YOU HAVE LOVE ONE FOR ANOTHERLove said another is tough, practical, and active. Love is washing the kitchen floorover and over again. Love is scrubbing the toilet and doing the laundry. Love is takingout the garbage and cleaning the refrigerator. Love is smiling when you are tired,finding reasons to laugh even when you are angry, volunteering for a dirty job, workinghard, and making the world a better place.Powerful and profound. Indeed, love is practical. Love is very much in the scrubbingof the toilet. Love is there from the one who takes out the garbage. Love indeeddelights in the dirty jobs for when you do for the least of these, you do it unto HIM.And yet more insight into the God of all love:GOD SAYS TO US, IN LOVE, I HOLD YOU IN MY MIND. I REMEMBER YOU. I HOLDALL OF THE PIECES OF YOU. THE PAST WOUNDS AND THE PRESENT. AND INLOVE, I KNIT THEM TOGETHER INTO THE PERSON I LOVE, THE PERSON ICREATED TO GIVE ME JOY:YOU.Held are we in the mind of God, remembering us even as we remember Him, all of ourvarious pieces, wounds, wrongs, and problems no matter. God knits them togetherand all become the mosaic, the person God loves, the individual and special you.Love frees us of the weight and pain of life! True love always lightens life's heaviestburdens. True love is a force far more powerful than the weapons of any enemy.Life is a flower of which love is the honey, so said Victor Hugo. Love is knit into thevery cells of our bodies. It is written into our DNA. It is encoded in the chemicals thatmake plants green. It is that which makes the sky blue, the substance of the song ofthe birds in summer, the whisper of the wind in the trees, the silence of the snow as itfalls. Love is the voice of God calling to us endlessly and passionately through all HISmarvelous creation.There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear. The more one loves, the less thereis of which to be afraid. Love secures and drives our insecurity. Love at work is themost powerful force and energy of all.Take away love, said Robert Browning, and our earth is a tomb. Without love, life islike dead, lifeless, even meaningless. And, if you wish to be loved, LOVE. Any timethat is not spent on love is time wasted.True love is a durable fire in the mind ever-burning, never sick, never old, never dead,from itself never turning, so said Sir Walter Raleigh. The durable fire of love burnsunquenchable, always alive, always energizing.The great artist Vincent Van Gogh said:“THE HEART THAT LOVES IS ALWAYS YOUNG. LOVE IS A MARVELOUSBEAUTIFIER. LOVE IS ART AT WORK. I ALWAYS THINK THAT THE BEST WAY TOKNOW GOD IS TO LOVE MANY THINGS.”Indeed, all of art is love at work and there really can be no great art without love. Itbeautifies and brings out the best in everything.Here, the words of Thomas Merton:“THE BEGINNING OF LOVE IS TO LET THOSE WHO LOVE BE PERFECTLYTHEMSELVES, AND NOT TO TWIST THEM TO FIT OUR OWN IMAGE. OTHERWISE,WE LOVE ONLY THE REFLECTION OF OURSELVES WE FIND IN THEM.”The more we are perfectly ourselves, living to our highest and best, the more andbetter of us there is.Love cures people, the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. Love conquers allthings, so said the ancient poet, Virgil.Love allows us to believe so fully and firmly in God even when He is silent!The great thinker-theologian Soren Kierkegaard profoundly stated that when one hasonce fully entered the realm of love, the world, no matter how imperfect becomes richand beautiful. It consists solely of opportunities for love.It is love, said Thomas Mann, not reason that is stronger than death. And that love,stronger than and which conquers death is the love of the Christ on the cross and theresurrection which followed.To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others, said Francois Mauriac. Life isreplete with invisible miracles which can only be revealed by love at work.If you love somebody, tell them, so said Rod McKuen. The telling unleashes the energyand the power of love.The heart has its reasons which reason alone can not understand, so said the thinkerBlaise Pascal. Love is a dimension in life different from and beyond reason itself. Themore the mind the less the heart and consequently the less love. Reason no matterhow wise can never understand love.The great theologian Paul Tillich said that the first beauty of love is to listen. One wholoves wants to listen more than talk, listen to every word, every expression of thoughtand emotion which comes from the one loved. Listening, really listening in a caringway, may very well be the highest attribute of true love.For those who love, time is eternity. Love is God's finger on man's shoulder. Love islike a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with awinged heart and to give thanks for another day of loving. Love is a symbol of eternity.It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of anend.Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson said:“TIS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAN NEVER TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL.”Love indeed is risky, the risk of rejection but a life lived without true love is a life neverreally lived at all.I love you, says Anna Corbin, as you are, not as you wish to be. I love you for the realperson you are, not the imaginary perhaps I fantasize you could be. I love the real,amazing, utterly unique YOU.Love in the ultimate, unconditional, love so REAL.If you love until it hurts, really hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love saidthe wonderfully loving Mother Teresa. True love at work drives away the hurt.Looking back, said one, I have this to regret. That too often when I loved, I did not sayso. Love uncommunicated is love aborted. It is there but never shared. More time isspent judging people which leaves less time to love them.Zelda Fitzgerald said that nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much lovethe heart can hold. There is no limit to love, none whatsoever. Love is there, alwaysand love takes up when knowledge leaves off. In fact, love is the supreme knowledge,superior to all else.Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred. Love at workproduces the holiest of the holies. The great English statesman William E. Gladstonesaid the following:“WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE TIME WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE WILL REPLACETHE LOVE OF POWER. THEN WILL OUR WORLD KNOW THE BLESSINGS OFPEACE. POWER KILLS LOVE AND WITHOUT LOVE, THERE IS NO PEACE. THERE ISNOTHING MORE POWERFUL BEFORE AND EVER AGAIN THAN LOVE.”The theologian Reinhold Niebuhr said the following:“WE ARE SAVED BY THE FINAL FORM OF LOVE, WHICH IS FORGIVENESS.FORGIVING AND FORGETTING ARE THE HIGHEST ACTS OF LOVE RESULTING INOUR SALVATION. THERE WAS ONE, YEARS AGO, DRIVEN TO THE CROSS BY THELOVE OF MANKIND PROVIDING IN HIS DEATH THE LIFE AND THE LOVE WE LEAD.THE CROSS WAS THE FINAL AND FORGIVING FORM OF LOVE.”The crucifixion of the Christ on the cross was indeed the ultimate act of love.The great writer C.S. Lewis said the following:“TO LOVE AT ALL IS TO BE VULNERABLE. LOVE ANYTHING AND YOUR HEARTWILL CERTAINLY BE WRUNG AND POSSIBLY BROKEN. LOVE BREAKS DOWN ALLBARRIERS, OPENS WIDE THE HEART, EXPOSES TRUE INNOCENCE AND RISKS THEWRINGING AND THE BREAKING OF THIS MORE PRIZED POSSESSION. REAL LOVEDEMANDS THIS, CONSTANTLY.”Sir Arthur Pinero said that “those who love deeply never grow old. They may die of oldage, but they die young at heart.”That deep love here and now is but a prelude to the perfect love there. In fact, they areone love contiguous and continuous. Love is both earthly and eternal. Love neverdies. For there is only one real happiness in life and that is to love and to be loved.The great writer Ralph Waldo Emerson said:“NEVER SELF-POSSESSED OR PRUDENT, LOVE IS ALL ABANDONMENT.”True love is pure risk, always. Love at work risks hurt to the self and rejection byanother. But the risk at work is what makes the word of love so special.Vulnerability, openness, risk but so great reward.Hear then the marvelous words of the great poet William Wordsworth:“A PERSON CAN BE SO CHANGED BY LOVE AS TO BE UNRECOGNIZABLE AS THESAME PERSON. LOVE TRANSFORMS, REGENERATES. LOVE PRODUCES CHANGE,EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYONE. LOVE BETTERS WHAT IS BEST!”The great philosopher Plato said that love is the best friend of human kind, the helperand the healer of all ills that stand in the way of human happiness. In fact, love andcompassion are necessities, not luxuries and without them, humanity can not survive.And for some real definition of the word love, hear the words of Saint Augustine:“WHAT DOES LOVE LOOK LIKE? WHY, IT HAS HANDS TO HELP OTHERS. IT HASFEET TO HASTEN TO THE POOR AND NEEDY. IT HAS EYES TO SEE MISERY ANDWANT. IT HAS EARS TO HEAR THE SIGHS AND SORROWS OF HUMANKIND. THATIS WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE!”Amen and amen. Hands and feet at work, eyes and ears to see and hear human need.Love at work is what love really is.Love comes supreme and most innocently from a child. A child's love is pure,uncomplicated, unconditional, fully trusting. Such innocence opens deep the world offeeling and emotion and it is a return to that childlike love and that ability to lovewhich alone can make complete the adult version of that child. May we all be wiseenough to return to the innocent love of a little child.And so my friends, my fellow Americans, we the Crawford Broadcasting Company wishyou all of the love possible on Valentine's Day and during Valentine's week. May lovein all its forms permeate your life and may you know the supreme love of the One wholaid down His life for you. Live love every day and know the real and true meaning oflife.And finally, the profound words of poet Emily Dickenson:“IF I CAN STOP ONE HEART FROM BREAKINGI SHALL NOT LIVE IN VAINIF I CAN EASE ONE LIFE THE ACHINGOR COOL ONE PAINOR HELP ONE FAINTING ROBININ TO HIS NEST AGAINI SHALL NOT LIVE IN VAIN!”Love is the greatest!

Grief affects everyone, and Queen Victoria is no exception. We get to see a truly human side of the Queen as she is faced with the question: is it better to live long, and see those you love pass away around you, or would it have been better to live a shorter life, and spare yourself the pain? Despite the long stream of deaths that are coming her way, Victoria also finds that trying times can ultimately lead to self-discovery, new adventures, and genuine happiness, with new characters in her life like the hunky Scotsman, John Brown, as well as famed Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli. This is part 7 of 8 on Queen Victoria, so we're at the home-stretch!

Na de Koude Oorlog en daarna de unipolaire wereld zien we nu een ruwe, multipolaire wereld van grootmachten en allianties ontstaan. De geopolitiek van de negentiende eeuw is terug.Reden te meer om eens goed te kijken hoe machtspolitiek in die tijd werd toegepast door de grootmachten. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger kijken naar de meest succesvolle bedrijver daarvan: Otto von Bismarck, die al tijdens zijn leven een legende werd.***Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst vind je altijd hier***Hij werd geboren in 1815, juist toen Napoleon en zijn revolutionaire keizerrijk sneefden. En hij leefde hij tot 1898, het fin de siècle. Al jong greep hij de kansen die de turbulentie van de verwarrende jaren rond 1848 hem bood. Een staatsman met waaghalzerige lef, politiek vernuft en connecties in de top van Europa en de Duitse vorstendommen daarbinnen.Een diepe politieke crisis in Pruisen greep hij aan om die staat tot de dominante macht op het Europese continent te maken. In minder dan tien jaar speelde hij met politieke, diplomatieke en militaire avonturen de andere machten tegen elkaar uit. Geen wonder dat Johan Rudolf Thorbecke hem verafschuwde en Benjamin Disraeli zijn politiek als ‘nog ontregelender' beschouwde dan de Franse Revolutie.Zo smeedde hij in 1870-1871 een nieuw Duits keizerrijk onder Pruisische leiding, “Durch Blut und Eisen”. Zelf werd hij er de rijkskanselier van en daarmee begon een tweede, verrassende fase van zijn kiene machtspolitiek. Bismarck werd ‘de eerlijke makelaar' van Europa.Of het nu tsaar Alexander II, Benjamin Disraeli of Habsburg in Wenen was, allen keken naar Bismarck om het evenwicht te bewaren en daarbinnen hun expansieplannen te realiseren. Ook bij de koloniale globalisering die deze tijd kenmerkte. Dit maakte het nieuwe keizerrijk nóg dominanter in 'het concert der Europese machten', terwijl de nieuwe Duitse eenheid met haar 'interne markt' aan economie, technologie en wetenschappen enorme impulsen gaf.Door de eigen Duitse ambities beperkt te houden, kon Bismarck stevige allianties smeden en een succesvolle evenwichtspolitiek voeren, terwijl hij binnenslands verrassend moderne politiek aandurfde, ook op sociaal vlak. Naast autoritaire repressie. Een nieuwe, jonge keizer kreeg het na 1888 direct met de knorrige oude kanselier aan de stok. Wilhelm II wilde populair zijn, stoere taal en militair machtsvertoon laten klinken. Bismarck weigerde mee te gaan in zulke onberadenheid en stapte op, dezer weken in 1890.Een serene oude dag gunde hij zichzelf en vooral ook de nieuwe keizer en diens opvolgers niet. Daarvoor zag hij te scherp dat hun onevenwichtige koers moest leiden tot een geopolitiek isolement of nog erger. Met zijn fascinerende memoires nam Bismarck postuum nog een keer extra wraak. Het derde deel daarvan werd daarom decennialang ongepubliceerd gelaten.Bismarck is voor onze tijd verrassend leerzaam en actueel. Zijn neiging tot scherp politiek en intellectueel debat is sowieso genieten. Maar ook zijn finesse bij zowel de waagstukken in zijn geopolitieke strategie als het opvallende bouwen en bewaren van evenwicht. De bloei van Duitsland als een nieuwe en leidende wereldmacht door de nadruk op technologie, innovatie en wetenschap en zijn bewust afzien van Poetinachtige militaire avonturen als nalatenschap vallen nu misschien zelfs meer op dan voorheen. Deze oerconservatieve, autoritaire vernieuwer blijkt ineens óók een man voor deze tijd.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Benjamin Disraeli, said “Change is inevitable. Change is constant.” Mike Morrison would add that meaningful change is not inevitable. He shares with Kevin that there will be challenges, and it is up to us to make meaning of them. As a leader, we need to excite our teams about change and have a clear vision of the future. We know it gets messy in the middle, and that is where we have the most growth. Key Points Mike Morrison shares the meaningful change framework.  He advises on what to do when asked to lead change you don't agree with.  He discusses the “everydayness” and the FROM – TO Journey. Meet Mike Name: Mike Morrison  His Story: Mike Morrison, Ph.D., is the author of Leading Through Meaning: A Philosophical Inquiry, The Other Side of the Card, This is Not Working and the co-author of his newest book, Creating Meaningful Change.

This essay was published by the indianaffairs.com at https://theindianaffairs.com/en/hindus-the-diaspora-and-the-rishi-sunak-phenomenon/Now that the euphoria over the ascent of Rishi Sunak to the position of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has died down a little, it is worthwhile to consider the implications. On the one hand, there is understandable pride that someone in the diaspora has done well: I remember how delighted all of us were when V S Naipaul got his Nobel Prize in literature. On the other hand, what is the tangible value to India of Sunak's rapid rise to the leadership of what is, let us be honest, a racist, white-supremacist, imperial nation that is staring at the edge of an economic precipice? I was personally relieved a month or so ago when Sunak lost the leadership race to Liz Truss, simply because the rot is so bad in Britain that not even superhuman efforts are going to save the country from ruin.My argument was that Sunak had dodged a bullet: whoever ended up as PM would inherit such an impossible mess, such a tar baby, that they would forever be blamed for it, even if they were innocent bystanders. So why not let someone else, like Liz Truss, fall on the sword? If it were Sunak, not only would he be blamed individually, but also, in priority order a) Hindus, b) Indians, c) brown people, d) Stanford MBAs. It was best all around, I said at the time, to let some white woman be the fall guy, as it were. And we saw exactly what happened to her in 44 days: humiliated, disgraced, kicked out of office, her political career probably ruined forever. The sad thing is that nothing has changed now. After Brexit, the UK is merely a small “tribal”, “bad-toothed”, “flavour-starved” “sub-Scandinavian archipelago” as a hilarious critic on Twitter, @gathara, calls it. His/her “breaking news” about the West is a cheeky microscope turned back on the US, the UK etc by a Kenyan using the same demeaning language Western media uses for the rest of the world. Janan Ganesh, a columnist at the FT, had a good insight: Britain is laboring under the illusion that it is the US, which can wield its currency as a weapon; failing which, it has its military with which to quell challengers. Britain has none of the above. It has also been living beyond its means. Now it is forced to sell its family silver just to survive. As an example, there was a recent accusation that British Air Force pilots were sent to train Chinese pilots; which would likely mean American military secrets were dished out as they went ‘open-kimono'.There is a fair chance that Sunak, too, will go down the same way Truss did, and indeed Boris Johnson did: resigning in disgrace. But in any case, everybody will find their expectations of him will be unfulfilled. Indians naively believe Sunak will be nice to India. On the contrary, his job is to look out for Britain's interests. And he has many constraints on him.For example, Sunak has brought back Suella Braverman, who had been sacked as Home Minister. She  irritated Indians by being an arch-imperialist saying there were too many Indians overstaying their visas in the UK. Surely, he did to ensure domestic support and avoid schisms in his own party. And yes, Braverman is of Indian origin, too. Remember that Rishi Sunak is a Briton and not an Indian, even though he is a practicing and devout Hindu. His personal faith cannot get in the way of his doing his job as PM. In fact, he may even have to be particularly harsh on India to fend off allegations of dual loyalties. I remember Indian managers in Silicon Valley doing the same thing: they were especially hard on their Indian employees just to appear ‘neutral': over-compensation. I am by no means saying that there's nothing to celebrate in Sunak's rise. I am also delighted when Indian-origin people do well in other countries, against the odds. Maybe it is an irrational bout of ethnic pride. And it is true that Indians, especially Hindus, are now becoming more visible in their countries of residence, through hard work and the efforts of ‘Tiger Mothers'. I was reminded of this the other day when searching through my usual podcasts: I came across two Indian-Americans, although based on their accents they are both immigrants. One is the Pulitzer-winning oncologist Siddhartha Mukherjee speaking of his new book The Song of the Cell; the other is Nick Santhanam, a Silicon Valley investor and former McKinsey consultant, talking about his new book The Titanium Economy. Then there's the articulate Balaji Srinivasan, a visionary and crypto-evangelist who foresees the rise of distributed ‘network states'. And Saagar Enjeti, who runs an interesting podcast channel.In a sense, Indians are following in the footsteps of Jews: they, too, leveraged their smarts, especially in medicine, finance and cinema, to rise to the top of the heap in the US. Indians are, interestingly, using medicine, finance and technology in their rise to wealth. Incidentally, the only other ethnic-minority PM ever in the UK was Benjamin Disraeli, a Jew. I used to think there would be a natural alliance between Jews and Hindus, especially as both have been under relentless attack by the same Abrahamic groups. India was the only country to never to oppress Jewish residents, too. But now I am not so sure. Maybe it's because Jews are, after all, Abrahamics themselves. And maybe they find themselves in competition with Hindus.I am reminded of various Jews who are not exactly pro Hindu: Wendy Doniger, Sheldon Pollock, Amy Wax (a law professor), Amy Kazmin (former FT bureau chief in India). Kazmin, whom I befriended on Twitter, once gave me the generic equivalent of “But my best friend is a Jew” when I complained about her unsympathetic stance towards Hindus: “But I check my articles with a Hindu Kayastha”. The irony was apparently lost on her. Similarly, Hindus are singularly unfortunate to not have allies, even though we are the last pagans standing. Some Buddhists are strongly anti-Hindu, as in the case of the Rev Zenji Nio, a Japanese. And we know about the Sikh diaspora and its Khalistan obsession. Yes, divide and rule has worked all too well. Be that as it may, personally, I am irrationally happy when fellow-paisanos do well. I celebrated when Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella rose in tech; I was a big fan of the late C K Prahalad. But let us be very clear: while they will do what they can for the mother country, the diaspora are not Indians, and their success is not tied to India. To them, India is increasingly remote, a distant memory. Their reality is America, or wherever they have chosen to make their home. They have no skin in India's game. India will rise mostly based on the efforts of those who live in the country. Rishi Sunak, ironically, has a stake in India because he's married to Infosys Narayana Murthy's daughter Akshata, and she owns about 1% of the company. Sunak is independently wealthy, though, having made his fortune on Wall Street and private equity. But that's about it: we can all be proud of Rishi Sunak, whose Hindu values have enabled him to prosper in a hostile white world, and he is unapologetic about his religion. But his rise to the top of the Anglosphere is not particularly a win for India. India will have to rise based on its own efforts, not because of any favors from anybody. Permanent interests, not permanent friends.1270 words, 6 Nov 2022 This is a public episode.

Nacida en 1819, Victoria I fue monarca británica desde la muerte de su tío paterno, Guillermo IV, el 20 de junio de 1837, hasta su fallecimiento el 22 de enero de1901. Su reinado de 63 años y 261 días es el segundo más largo de la historia del Reino Unido, solo superado por el de su tataranieta Isabel II. Los 122 diarios que dejó escritos sirvieron para dar a conocer su verdadera influencia política y para revalorizar su figura. Fue ella quien apoyó sin fisuras la visión expansionista de su primer ministro, Benjamin Disraeli, convencida del efecto beneficioso que tendría el Imperio en sus súbditos, pero sus intentos de exportar los valores victorianos al mundo provocarían un choque de culturas y convicciones que haría tambalearse a la reina y a su Imperio hasta la médula.Suscríbete a nuestra revista MUY HISTORIA con un descuento del 50% accediendo a este link y usando el código descuento especial para podcast - PODCAST1936https://suscripciones.zinetmedia.es/mz/divulgacion/muy-historia?a=1Comparte nuestro podcast en tus redes sociales, puedes realizar una valoración de 5 estrellas en Apple Podcast o Spotify.Gracias por escuchar nuestros 'Grandes Reportajes de Muy Historia'Dirección, locución y producción: Iván Patxi Gómez Gallego

Colossians 1:4-5 'We have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God's people, which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven.' Having hope is incredibly important. The famous Russian writer, Fyodor Dostoevsky, wrote: “To live without hope is to cease to live. Hell is hopelessness.” Above the entrance to Dante's hell was the inscription: “Leave behind all hope, you who enter here.” The Colossian church had the precise opposite experience. They were so confident of the future that God had for them that they were full of hope, and that inspired both their faith in Christ and their love for their Christian brothers and sisters. It was like an engine inside them producing nothing but blessing. Human life is often, tragically, characterised by hopelessness. In 1850, Bishop Wilberforce said: “I dare not marry for the future is so dark and unsettled.” In 1851, the Duke of Wellington, who will always be remembered for his outstanding military victories, said: “I thank God I shall be spared from seeing the consummation of ruin that is gathering about us.” And the following year, Benjamin Disraeli, the Conservative politician and Chancellor of the Exchequer, commented: “In every department of our nation, industry, commerce and agriculture, there is no hope.” If you looked for similar statements of despair today, they wouldn't be hard to find. Human life is always distorted by fear, sin and many threats. This means that it is essential we deliberately focus our attention on the hope that God has given us in Christ. God doesn't call us to run away from the harsh realities of this world, but he does encourage us to keep focused on the hope that we have which will never be taken away from us. It is absolutely secure. Question: What impact does your Christian hope have on the way you live? Prayer: Lord God, I thank you for the hope that you have given me which is like an anchor for my life. Amen

The maxim encapsulates the stiff-upper lipped-ness of the Victorian age, but the timeless wisdom it contains has made it a guiding mantra of powerful, confident, accountability-prizing men up through the modern day.   Today we discuss why you should never complain and never explain.    Until Friday…out of role. 

The tale of the first government led by the Earl of Derby (whom we first met as Lord Stanley), in which Benjamin Disraeli served as Chancellor of the Exchequer, from its start to its fall such a short time later. And then, the start of the Aberdeen government, in which the same post was held by William Ewart Gladstone, perhaps rather more successfully. He did have one major advantage, granted by simple circumstance, but even so, there's no denying he did better. So this is also the episode where we first meet the intense, and from then on lifelong, hostility between Gladstone and Disraeli. A hostility which led to battles between these two giants that would dominate three decades of British politics. And, in their confrontation, it has to be said that first blood went to Gladstone.

We're back in 1848, with the Year of Revolutions, a few of which succeeded, most of which were put down – not least in Northern Italy, where Joseph Radetzky, celebrated in a cheerful Strauss tune, proved far less cheerful in his treatment of opponents to Austrian rule. Britain, on the other hand, saw no revolution, though many feared one from the Chartists. In the event, the last shout of Chartism turned out to be little more than a whimper, disarmed by improved economic conditions and channels to funnel protest into less harmful directions. !848 also saw the moment when the majority wing of the split Conservative Party, the Protectionists, opposed to Repeal of the Corn Laws, could have found a new leader in Benjamin Disraeli. But he was just too eccentric, perhaps too Jewish, somehow too foreign, and he was passed over. The first of several occasions when he was denied, until late 1851. Then he at last secured the position of Leader of the Party in the Commons (under the overall leader, Stanley). At least that meant that he was in a leading position just as his party formed a government again. So he was poised to enter government for the first time, and in a senior position too.

De nieuwe premier Rishi Sunak is een bijzonder mens. Niet alleen is hij de jongste prime minister in ruim 200 jaar, hij is ook een van de meest vermogende bewoners ooit van Downing Street 10 en de eerste gelovige hindoe uit de Brits-Indiase minderheid als leider van de Tories. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken daarom in de historie en vertellen over een reeks Britse premiers die net als Sunak een culturele, religieuze en sociale doorbraak vormden. En zij ontmythologiseren daarbij meteen een paar van de beweringen over Sunak!De jongste ooit is een van de meest iconische premiers. Zonder twijfel zal William Pitt de jongere nog vele eeuwen gelden als een van de belangrijkste, meest succesvolle Britse leiders. Met 24 werd hij premier na een koloniale oorlog die uitliep op het verlies van Amerika. Een ramp, ook voor de staatskas. Pitt saneerde niet alleen de begroting, maar herstelde de Britse macht zozeer dat dankzij hem uiteindelijk ook Napoleon verslagen werd. De kiezers noemden hem 'Honest Billy'. Hij regeerde tussen 1783 tot 1801 en van 1804 tot zijn vroege dood in 1806.De eerste premier uit een religieuze en etnische minderheid werd minstens zo'n icoon in de Britse historie. Benjamin Disraeli was van joodse komaf in Marokko. 'Dizzy' was een zeer kleurrijk man, literair begaafd, politiek van vele markten thuis. Zijn bijzondere vriendschappen met de twee machtigste mensen van zijn tijd maakten hem nog meer een legende. Dat waren Queen Victoria en de Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck.De eerste premier uit de meest eenvoudige milieus was David Lloyd George. Hij was ook de eerste Welshman in Downing Street 10, bekend als 'the Welsh Wizard'. Hij legde als groot sociaal vernieuwer de grondslag voor de 'welfare state' en leidde de regering in en na de Eerste Wereldoorlog. In zijn latere jaren vielen ook zijn politieke en financiële gewetenloosheid en zijn bewondering voor Adolf Hitler nogal op. Zelfs zijn protégé Winston Churchill moest hem toen laten vallen.We kunnen in deze aflevering natuurlijk niet om Margaret Thatcher heen. Eerste vrouw, eerste bèta-alumnus, eerste kruideniersdochter als premier. Maar vooral ook was zij de grote promotor van de Indiase hindoeminderheid. In hen zag zij familiezin, ijver en ondernemendheid zoals ze die ook herkende in de grote joodse minderheid in haar eigen kiesdistrict bij wie zij zeer geliefd was. Zonder Maggie geen Rishi!Maar… is Sunak wel de rijkste premier ooit? PG vertelt over die slagerszoon die in de vroege 16e eeuw de premier en de rijkste Britse machthebber ooit werd. Thomas Wolsey werd 'Alter Rex'- de andere koning – genoemd. Hij was als kardinaal ook bijna paus geworden en onmetelijk rijk. Koning Henry VIII werd daarom jaloers en liet zijn lord chancellor zelfs diens allermooiste paleis aan hem cadeau doen.Nu Rishi Sunak premier is geworden moeten we natuurlijk ook nog even aandacht schenken aan de kortst zittende premier ooit, Liz Truss. PG heeft ontdekt dat dé Britse componist, Georg Friedrich Händel, al in de 18e eeuw van Pitt over haar een opera schreef! We horen die lyrische Liz van toen zingen: 'Myself I Shall Adore!' vlak voordat zij roemloos ten onder gaat.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

The curious relationship continues between Queen Victoria and her first Prime Minister, Viscount Melbourne. It is, however, perhaps less easy than in the past, as the young queen becomes more wilful, more determined on getting her way. One of the things the queen's particularly determined about is not having that “cold unfeeling disagreeable man” Peel as Prime Minister. However, when Melbourne decides it's time to resign, the first choice to replace him, the Duke of Wellington, says it has to be Peel. She brings herself to see the man she dislikes so much, and manages, on this occasion, to put him off. So she forces her favourite, Melbourne, ageing and increasingly unwell, back into office. She can't pull it off a second time, though. On the back of a good election win, Peel finally forms a government with a solid majority behind him. He brings into office many of the old crowd – Aberdeen, Stanley, the dynamic and thrusting Gladstone. But one man he leaves out: the new young MP for Maidstone, Benjamin Disraeli. That may turn out not to have been his wisest decision.

Henrietta Temple by Benjamin Disraeli audiobook. The Armine family, in particular the young Ferdinand Armine, is in great financial difficulties. Ferdinand's grandfather has burdened the family estate with large debts, which his father did not manage to diminish. Ferdinand himself is not disposed to live with his small income alone, and during his time in Malta with his regiment, he incurs debts of his own. The only thing that can easily pay for his debts and restore the house of Armine now is for Ferdinand to marry well, and the chosen wife for him is his cousin Katherine, the heiress to their grandfather's wealth. Katharine, who has idolized her cousin like their grandfather did, immediately consents to the marriage. But for Ferdinand, the match is a matter of necessity, not of love. Just as Ferdinand is beginning to realize that this planned marriage will be a loveless one for him, a chance meeting with the beautiful Henrietta Temple changes everything. "There is no love but love at first sight", and this young lady proceeds to turn Ferdinand's world upside down. Henrietta Temple is a semi-autobiographical novel and the author's first true success. Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield and later British Prime Minister, based this novel on his affair with the married Henrietta Sykes.

In this episode, we remain in Victorian London and will examine the events of the summer of 1858, the moment in time that serves as the bridge from medieval to modern London. We will explore:how The Big Stink served as an impetus for change in regards to water qualitythe contributions of Sir Joseph Bazalgette and his gift to public health: modern sanitation the beginnings of a notable British politician, Benjamin Disraelithe unintended distraction from the heat and stench: the drama of Charles Dickens' personal lifethe problematic issues of imperialism in Colonial Indiathe spark that jolted Charles Darwin to action and accelerated the publication of what would become On the Origin of SpeciesWe will also dig more deeply and question:if the Victorian era is the bridge between medieval and modern London, might we still be crossing that bridge? Are we currently in a separate era, or are we in the next chapter of that modernisation, as technology pushes us into an even more global society?Photos and links can be found in our show notes.Do you like what you hear?  Please help us find our audience by spreading some good cheer with a 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts!Our website: https://yltpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Follow us on:Twitter @YLT_PodFacebook @Yesterday's London Times PodcastInstagram @Yesterday's London Times PodcastCounterSocial @YLTPodcast

Welcome to another episode of Past Loves - the history podcast that explores affection, infatuation and attachment across time.This week I am joined by author and Associate Professor in English Literature and Life Writing at the University of Exeter, Daisy Hay, to discuss the love story between Benjamin and Mary Anne Disraeli.Daisy's research into the lives and love of Benjamin and Mary Anne is rooted in extensive archival work in the Reading Room at the Bodleian Library where Mary Anne's remarkable collection of letters is held. Benjamin and Mary Anne wrote their love story into being, weaving romantic ideals into their correspondence. As Mary Anne most famously said: “Dizzy married me for my money. But if he had the chance again he would marry me for love.”  Benjamin's political career is also woven into the very fabric of their relationship. Their love story existed within the political sphere as Mary Anne helped Benjamin with his campaigns. On the night of the passing of the 1867 Reform Act, rather than celebrating with supporters at the Carlton Club, Benjamin would return home to Mary Anne who was waiting for him with a bottle of champagne and a raised pie from Fortnum and Mason. Together, they would cultivate their romance over the years which resulted in a relationship based in deep respect, admiration and love.

"Learn to unlearn." – Benjamin Disraeli"I have spent most of my life unlearning things that were proved not to be true." — R. Buckminster FullerThe smartest people I've met spent their 20's and 30's unlearning the drivel they "learned" in school.Many of them also didn't go to college or left early as I did.If you have a degree, milk it.If you have student debt, pay it off as fast as you can.And do these things to improve your financial standing.But what you also have to do, is think for yourself.You have to unlearn most of what you know.You have to go deep underneath the facade.Of subjects and ideas you were taught.You have to go under the status quo and the approved curriculum that supports the societal and political narrative.If you went to medical school, you were trained to become a drug dealer for the most part. If you went to medical school and you don't know the history of vaccines because that wasn't taught—or you were told not to question vaccines—then you are not following your Hippocratic oath. By blinding accepting and pushing a medical treatment universally, you are ACTIVELY harming people.To find the truth of history, law, nutrition, science, research, government, natural law, human rights, money, marriage, sex, relationships, human nature, you have to go deep into each topic and find independent sources of information.That's because the widely available information on these topics is always biased, watered down, and often outright wrong.‍**Here are a few sources I recommend:**‍What is Money podcast - episodes 1-9 The Saylor SeriesSapiens - Story of the Human BodyThe State - RothsbardThe Sovereign IndividualThe Fourth TurningDebtThe Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal ReserveWTF happened in 1971Study Fiat and Inflation‍The Better Human Podcast
