Podcasts about Berlin

A covert convoy of ships carries Soviet missiles across the Atlantic, while American U-2 planes spy over Cuba and the sea routes. And as the ships arrive, Khrushchev writes to Kennedy about the divided city of Berlin. It's a distraction tactic. But the American spy planes photograph an alarming development. Hosts Nina Khrushcheva and Max Kennedy, relatives of the superpower leaders, tell the personal and political history of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

This week I present two episodes featuring Christmas music which I originally produced six years ago, in the earliest days of Countermelody. Both episodes zero in on tenors; I'll be republishing them both this week. This first episode features a panoply of superb tenors (including Georges Thill, Richard Lewis, Roland Hayes, Tino Rossi, Franco Corelli, Ernst Haefliger, Richard Tauber, Charles Holland, Karl Erb, and Matthew Swensen) in repertoire ranging across the spectrum (Handel, Adam, Gounod, Bach, Berlin, and traditional Weihnachtsmusik), with some surprises along the way. The episode concludes with a brief musical tribute to Dalton Baldwin, Gérard Souzay's partner and collaborator, who had just died on 12 December 2019 at the age of 87 as this episode was first going to press. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists. The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly or yearly support at whatever level you can afford.

Tonight On Ground Zero: Mobius Stripper The United States is reportedly the number one user of OnlyFans, a company run by a modern Magnus Hirschfeld named Leonid Radvinsky, according to the 2025 end-of-year report. In the end-of-year 2025 search-result report from Pornhub, run by another Hirschfeld since 2023, named Solomon Friedman, searches for “femboy,” general LGBTQ, and “transgender” exploded in popularity. According to the data: “' Trans threesome' up 67 per cent. 'Trans amateur' rose 49 per cent. Interestingly, this is the same type of material that was targeted for burning in 1930s Berlin by the rising nationalist movement, motivated more by citizens than even Nazism. The Institute for Sexual Science was responsible for pushing every manner of niche sexuality, gender ideology, and pornography onto the public, including children. Their speciality was transgenderism and sex-change surgeries. Considering the background of the people responsible for this perversion, then and today, are we heading for another Berlin book burning as we go around the Möbius strip of history? Tonight, Ryan Gable fills in for Clyde Lewis and speaks about - Mobius Stripper.

Katalin asked, hoping to make the conversation more relaxed.Hu: Gábor vállat vont.En: Gábor shrugged.Hu: „Rendben van. Csak... magányos néha.”En: "It's fine. Just... lonely sometimes."Hu: A szavak ott lebegtek köztük, mígnem Katalin megállt és a szemébe nézett.En: The words hung between them until Katalin stopped and looked into his eyes.Hu: „Miért nem jössz haza gyakrabban?” – kérdezte halkan, fájdalom csendült a hangjában.En: "Why don't you come home more often?" she asked softly, with a hint of pain in her voice.Hu: Gábor mélyet sóhajtott.En: Gábor sighed deeply.Hu: „Azt hittem, már nem számítok... hogy mire visszatalálok, késő lesz.”En: "I thought I didn't matter anymore... that by the time I found my way back, it would be too late."Hu: Ebben a pillanatban mindkettőjük szívében valami megváltozott.En: In that moment, something changed in both their hearts.Hu: Rájöttek, hogy a távolság nem csupán kilométerekben mérhető.En: They realized that distance is not just measured in kilometers.Hu: Gábor bűntudatos volt, míg Katalin dühös.En: Gábor felt guilty, while Katalin was angry.Hu: Most azonban csak a szeretet és a megértés maradt.En: But now, only love and understanding remained.Hu: Katalin megfogta az öccse kezét.En: Katalin took her brother's hand.Hu: „Hiányoztál, Gábor” – mondta melegen.En: "I've missed you, Gábor," she said warmly.Hu: Gábor legyűrte a könnyeit.En: Gábor fought back tears.Hu: „Te is nekem, Kati.”En: "I've missed you too, Kati."Hu: A jégpálya kivilágított világában a testvéri szeretet újra fellángolt.En: In the illuminated world of the ice rink, their sibling love rekindled.Hu: Ahogy köröztek a jégen, a korábbi félreértések és fájdalmak lassan elpárologtak.En: As they skated in circles on the ice, past misunderstandings and pain slowly evaporated.Hu: Mindketten ígéretet tettek, hogy többet dolgoznak kapcsolatukon, hogy többé ne váljanak el egymástól ilyen hosszú időre.En: They both promised to work harder on their relationship, so they wouldn't be apart for such a long time again.Hu: A jégtől távozva Katalin és Gábor az új kezdet reményével sétáltak vissza a város forgatagába.En: Leaving the ice, Katalin and Gábor walked back into the bustle of the city with the hope of a new beginning.Hu: Az éjszaka hidege már nem tűnt olyan ridegnek.En: The night's cold no longer seemed so harsh.Hu: Gábor megértette, hogy a család mindig befogadja, bárhol is éljen a világban.En: Gábor understood that family always welcomes you, no matter where you live in the world.Hu: Talán nem mindig lesz könnyű, de most már tudta, hogy az újra megtalált kötelék megéri minden erőfeszítést.En: It may not always be easy, but now he knew that the re-discovered bond was worth every effort.Hu: És ahogy a karácsonyi díszek fénye gyengéden ringott a szélben, testvérük összefonódott szívvel indultak tovább a közös úton.En: And as the lights of the Christmas decorations gently swayed in the wind, the siblings set out on their shared path with intertwined hearts.

My father, Hans-Georg Graf von Rittberg, was born on March 27, 1943, on his family's estate in Pomerania during World War II. In early 1945, his mother, Karin Gräfin von Rittberg, eight months pregnant, fled with her two sons ahead of the Russian occupation. Her husband was executed in April 1945 for his involvement in the resistance against Hitler.By the fall of 1945, they were finally able to reach Western Germany, escaping Russian-controlled territory. In our conversation, my father recalls his earliest memories in Königsbach, where they lived above a horse stall. Winters were brutally cold, and to keep her sons from freezing at night, his mother would bind their hands so they would keep them tucked under the blankets.What I find most striking are the tender memories my father carries from such a devastating time — playing in the woods, building makeshift bridges, learning to navigate the world with curiosity and imagination. He speaks about growing up in post-war Germany with a mother who, despite having lost almost everything, always found ways to create a good life from what they had.As he grew older, his central ambition became rebuilding what had been lost, and one day offering his own family the life he had always dreamed of. Had my father not received a Fulbright scholarship to study in New York — where he met my mother — I would not be here today.Their life together has been one great adventure, and I feel deeply grateful and proud to be part of it.

Im Ringen um einen Waffenstillstand in der Ukraine will Russland als Nächstes erneut mit den USA beraten. Medienberichten zufolge könnte das bereits am Wochenende in Miami geschehen. Inzwischen ringen europäische Politiker in Berlin über die Finanzierung des Krieges. Doch ist das alles nur Theaterdonner, oder können wir bald mal Ergebnisse erwarten?

L'Institut Giacometti à Paris aime confronter les œuvres d'artistes contemporains avec celles du sculpteur auquel le musée est dédié. En ce moment, les peintures de l'artiste syrien Marwan, décédé en 1972, dialoguent avec les sculptures du Suisse Alberto Giacometti. Les artistes partagent une même obsession pour la figure humaine qu'on retrouve dans les œuvres. Une exposition qui prend place dans le très bel hôtel particulier où s'est établi le musée entre art nouveau et art déco. L'exposition Giacometti / Marwan Obsessions, c'est au musée Giacometti jusqu'au 25 janvier 2026.   Dès l'entrée de l'exposition, on est accueilli par trois peintures grand format de Marwan représentant des figures. Elles font face à des têtes et bustes de Giacometti. « Ce qui a suscité notre envie, c'étaient les grandes têtes de la fin de l'œuvre de Marwan, qui, bien sûr, évoquaient un certain écho avec la façon dont Giacometti, lui aussi, faisait des bustes, des têtes et s'est attaché à la figure humaine pendant une très très grande partie de sa carrière », explique Françoise Cohen, co-commissaire de l'exposition.  Marwan met en avant dans sa peinture des humains anti-héros. Des êtres fragiles, silhouettes androgynes, se tenant parfois dans un coin du tableau, délaissant la place centrale. Ils font ainsi naturellement pendant aux sculptures diaphanes toutes en longueur de Giacometti. Les deux artistes sont reliés aussi par leur rapport à la matière.  « Giacometti est connu pour utiliser le plâtre de façon complètement personnelle, un peu comme de la terre. C'est-à-dire, qu'il va ajouter des parcelles de plâtre. Quand on est proche, on voit bien la trace de ses doigts. Dans l'oeuvre de Marwan, les tableaux sont souvent des huiles sur toile. Avec une certaine transparence, on a comme ça une construction de touches, les unes au-dessus des autres. Sans que la matière soit très très épaisse, mais qui montre une construction dans le temps », raconte Françoise Cohen. Et si Marwan a fait toute sa carrière à Berlin où il s'est établi, il est toujours en lien avec son pays. Il peint les intellectuels syriens, mais aussi son ami le poète irakien Badr Chaker el Sayyab. Quant à sa ville Damas, c'est une source continuelle d'inspiration, notamment dans les visages-paysages où l'abstraction est un leurre. « Le visage est étalé comme un paysage, dans lequel il incite le spectateur à rentrer. Pour lui, il s'exprime en disant, que toutes les bosses, les volumes qui apparaissent pour rendre les cheveux, le front, etc, sont en fait les reliefs, les collines de la ville de Damas, sa ville d'origine », précise la co-commissaire de l'exposition.

Gut 90 Weihnachtsmärkte finden in diesem Jahr in Berlin statt. Und nicht nur Berlinerinnen und Berliner treffen sich zum Bratwurst essen und zwischen den Buden-Schlendern, sondern Weihnachtsmärkte ziehen auch viele Touristen in die Hauptstadt. Von Lisa Splanemann

[Non-Paywall Source and Media Spin] President Trump has been cutting waste, fraud and abuse in runaway government spending; slashing costly regulations across all sectors of the economy and ending Green New Scam energy policy in favor of drill, baby, drill.  As noted by NEC Chairman Kevin Hasset, Trump has reduced deficit spending overall. There's still a long way to go, but significant MAGAnomic progress is being made.  Oh, and that skyrocketing “tariff inflation” the same shocked pundits proclaimed was sure to happen this time, well, that has not surfaced either.  Just like it didn't surface in 2018 or 2019 when the tariffs were applied the first time.

Time enough to make the economy shine come the mid-terms. Now we will start to see the fruits of that plan, and Trump’s speech tonight is to announce that. Is he right? One thing I’ve learned is to never bet against Trump. Maybe he is wrong. Maybe I’m wrong. But I still have trust.

At Brown University, Chatman recently faced an unanimous vote of no confidence back in October for the charge of having “directly contributed to an all-time low in morale and has strained the department's ability to effectively serve the Brown University community.” At the University of Utah, the student campaign to scale back policing was led by Emirya Fanaeian, the same leader of SLC Armed Queers.

Speculation in media and online discussions has included possible ballistic matches (e.g., 9mm casings recovered at Brown) or similar vehicles spotted at both scenes (e.g., unverified mentions of Nissan Sentras), but these remain unsubstantiated and are not confirmed as the linking evidence.  Some online commentary has also suggested motives tied to international actors, like Iran, based on celebratory posts in certain Telegram channels, but this is purely speculative and unconfirmed. https://twitter.com/EWess92/status/2001718099972886750?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2001502910677397573?s=20 ‘German' Globalist Authoritarianism: Berlin Migrant Housing Costs Skyrocket to Nearly €1 Billion, Tripling Since 2020    Newly released government figures have revealed the capital spent nearly €900 million ($9.8 million) in 2024 alone to house migrants, many of which do not have any kind of status in the country, almost triple the cost from just four years earlier, Die Welt reports.

The massive 2010 sale of US uranium deposits to Russia approved by Hillary Clinton and rubber-stamped by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) – after figures linked to the deal donated to the Clinton Foundation? Turns out rank-and-file FBI investigators thought there was enough smoke to launch a criminal investigation, but internal delays and disagreements within the DOJ and FBI ultimately caused the inquiry to lapse, newly released records reveal.   The Uranium One transaction – involving the sale of a Canadian mining company with substantial U.S. uranium assets to Russia's state-owned nuclear firm Rosatom – became a flashpoint during Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Critics argued that then-Secretary of State Clinton, a member of CFIUS, helped approve the deal while donors connected to Uranium One made large contributions to the Clinton Foundation.  The newly released documents suggest that the circumstances surrounding Uranium One were never fully investigated, leaving unresolved questions about how a strategic U.S. asset came under Russian control – and whether potential criminal conduct went unexamined due to internal delays and legal disputes.

It refers specifically to Donald Trump and his team, who have consistently and reasonably opposed Ukraine's accession to NATO and the continuation of the war. Zelensky is effectively speaking about the physical elimination of political opponents. I have said this many times before. Zelensky has done and will continue to do everything to destroy Trump and everything associated with him — politically, informationally, and beyond. I have also stated that Zelensky is connected to assassination attempts on Trump and is also involved in the killing of Charlie Kirk.

As President, he passed the highly ineffective ‘Unaffordable’ Care Act, resulting in his party losing control of both Houses of Congress, and the Election of the largest House Republican majority since 1946. He presided over a stagnant Economy, approved the one-sided Iran Nuclear Deal, and signed the one-sided Paris Climate Accords, both of which were later terminated by President Donald J.

He crippled small businesses with crushing regulation and environmental red tape, devastated American coal miners, and weaponized the IRS and Federal bureaucracies against his political opponents. Obama also spied over the 2016 Presidential Campaign of Donald J. Trump, and presided over the creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the worst political scandal in American History. His handpicked successor, Hillary Rodham Clinton, would then lose the Presidency to Donald J. Trump.”  JOE BIDEN “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History. Taking office as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States, Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction. His policies caused the highest Inflation ever recorded, leading the U.S. Dollar to lose more than 20% of its value in 4 years. His Green New Scam surrendered American Energy Dominance and, by abolishing the Southern Border, Biden let 21 million people from all over the World pour into the United States, including from prisons, jails, mental institutions, and insane asylums. His Afghan Disaster was among the most humiliating events in American History, and resulted in the murder of 13 brave American Servicemembers, with many others gravely wounded.

In dieser neuen Podcast-Folge schauen die beiden Hostinnen zurück auf das zu Ende gehende Jahr und fragen sich wie es so aussah mit Chancen. Welche sie ergriffen haben und welche ihnen durchgerutscht sind. Yvonne zB hatte zum Jahreswechsel ene sehr schwere OP und hat danach die Chance ergriffen, Ihr Leben auf „gesund“ zu drehen. Nicole hatte endlich mal ein Date, das so richtig gut war und hat die Chance ergriffen, sich diesen tollen Kerl mal für eine längere Zeit genauer anzusehen.

Był rok 1945. Marszałek Gieorgij Żukow znajdował się na absolutnym szczycie. Dowodzona przez niego armia zdobyła Berlin, a o męstwie jego żołnierzy mówił cały świat. W Związku Radzieckim Żukow wyrósł na symbol zwycięstwa nad III Rzeszą. Sam również czuł swoją siłę. Podczas rozmów z dziennikarzami chętnie opowiadał o własnym kunszcie dowódczym i ogromnym sukcesie ZSRR, za którym – jak sugerował – stał przede wszystkim on. Nie zdawał sobie jednak sprawy, że wywyższając się i wychylając przed szereg, zakłada sobie polityczną pętlę na szyję. W Związku Radzieckim wielki mógł być tylko jeden człowiek – Józef Stalin. I dlatego zaledwie kilka lat po wojnie z pozycji najważniejszego żołnierza Armii Czerwonej Żukow spadł do roli dowódcy mało znaczącego okręgu wojskowego. Więcej na ten temat opowiadam w najnowszym odcinku serii Powojnie.

Many founders carry pressure, heaviness, and expectations that few people ever see...And even after everything they've built, many feel disconnected from themselves, unsure how to lead in ways that feel honest, aligned, and true.Today, I'm excited to introduce a project that feels deeply meaningful to me: The Founders Series, a six-part podcast series created with my close friend, Bjoern Keune.This series speaks directly to the challenges founders, business professionals, and high-performing men face today. It's designed to support a shift from high-functioning stress into embodied and integrated leadership, where clarity and centeredness are possible even under pressure.The inspiration began in August, when Bjoern and I led a workshop for founders in Berlin. It quickly became clear how naturally our approaches complemented each other.While my background is in embodied coaching, somatic work, and group facilitation, Bjoern brings over fifteen years of entrepreneurial experience, along with his work as a mentor, advisor, and investor, grounded in years of practice in Zen meditation.It became clear how naturally our approaches complemented each other...In my coaching practice, I've come to intimately understand the inner challenges high performing men face. And Bjoern understands them from the inside out, having lived through many of the same pressures.Together, we share a clear and embodied perspective on what founders actually need.What became undeniable is how many founders are still operating in the dark:They carry the intensity of leadership without knowing how to work with it or ask for support...They struggle to remain true to themselves when things get difficult...Relationships suffer, both in business and at home... And many feel disconnected from their worth, wellbeing, and deeper sense of purpose...This founder series was created to offer a new path forward.Our first conversation explores how to lead in ways that don'tcreate more pressure or disconnection, but instead bring us closer to ourselves and to each other.In this episode, you'll find out: How founders can build companies from their core, staying connected to their inner genius while serving othersHow Bjoern's company, Acta, brings these principles to life through truth, presence, and genuine service.What becomes possible when founders reconnect with their innate core, and how this reconnection changes the way they make decisions, lead, and create.The hidden pressures many founders carry, the emotional toll of leading alone, and why emotional leadership and nervous system awareness are essentialHow cultivating relationships rooted in truth, connection, and genuine care directly impacts leadershipWhat it means to create from devotion rather than stress, following inner excitement and honesty instead of external pressureFor the past two months, this has been the project Bjoern and I have been building, and I'm genuinely excited to now share it with you.If you're a man that wants to lead differently, with more clarity, integrity, and presence, this series is for you.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

The Leisure System co-founder talks psychology, behavioral science and his standout album of the year, Stochastic Drift. Sam Barker's influence on contemporary electronic music culture spans many levels—not only as a producer and DJ pushing against traditional genre boundaries, but also as key figure behind the scenes as head of the label Leisure System. He came into RA HQ to talk about the central thesis in his current work: exploring organic, human timing in a genre that has become increasingly obsessed with mechanized grids. The Berlin-based artist tells us about how he puts this theory into practice in his standout album of the year, Stochastic Drift, and his recent collaborative project with saxophonist Bendik Giske. Beyond the technical, he also reflects on the evolution of the Berlin scene, the surprising arguments for liberation in the streaming economy and the role of art in imagining a utopian future.

Breech presentation can bring up a lot of questions, uncertainty, and fear for expecting families—especially when conversations quickly turn to C-sections as the default option. In this episode of The New Mom Talk Podcast, we take a closer look at the current ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) guidelines on breech presentation and vaginal delivery, and what they actually mean for parents navigating this situation.Our guest, Dr. Elliot Berlin, is a pregnancy-focused chiropractor, childbirth educator, and host of the Informed Pregnancy Podcast. He is also the creator of Informed Pregnancy Plus, a streaming platform for pregnancy education, and One Way or a Mother, an audio docuseries that explores real birth stories in depth. With decades of experience supporting families through pregnancy and birth, Dr. Berlin brings a balanced, evidence-based perspective to this important topic.In this conversation, we start by breaking down what ACOG stands for and why its guidelines matter when making informed decisions about birth. Dr. Berlin explains how ACOG's stance on vaginal breech birth has evolved over time, including why access to vaginal breech delivery has become more limited despite updated guidance that supports it in specific situations.We discuss the criteria providers may consider when determining whether someone is a good candidate for a vaginal breech birth, such as fetal position, gestational age, provider training, and birth setting. Dr. Berlin also shares insight into how accessible vaginal breech birth is today, why many families struggle to find supportive providers, and how parents can advocate for themselves when discussing options.Finally, we explore the risks and benefits of planned vaginal breech birth versus scheduled C-section, along with practical ways parents can educate themselves and prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically—especially if a breech presentation is discovered later in pregnancy.Whether you're currently facing a breech diagnosis or simply want to be more informed about your options, this episode empowers you with knowledge, context, and tools to have confident, informed conversations with your care team.Connect with Dr. Elliot Berlin:Official Website: https://www.doctorberlin.com/IG: @doctorberlin acog guidelines breech birth, vaginal breech delivery, breech presentation pregnancy, vaginal breech birth risks and benefits, breech birth options, informed pregnancy podcast, dr elliot berlin, breech birth advocacy, pregnancy education, childbirth decision makingwww.NewMomTalk.comBuy Me A CoffeeIG: @NewMomTalk.PodcastYouTube: @NewMomTalkMariela@NewMomTalk.comInterested in being a guest?

Olafur Eliasson talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Eliasson was born in 1967 in Copenhagen and grew up between Denmark and Iceland, where his parents were from. His installations, sculptures, photographs and paintings, among other projects, reflect a profound concern with human presence in nature and how we perceive and interact with the world around us. His works can be deceptively simple or enormously complex, but often share a rigorous and reductive geometry, which may conversely produce expansive and multifarious perceptual, sensory and embodied effects. Eliasson has stated that “the spectator is the central issue”, a long-established aspect of conceptual and environmental practices, but for him it is important that the viewer not only completes the work, but is also transformed by it. This subjective and individual revelation is, he hopes, allied to a sense of collective experience, what he calls a “we-ness”, that often alerts his audience to wider cultural and social issues including the climate catastrophe. Indeed, environment, in multiple senses, is the fundamental element of his work.He discusses his deep concern about the climate catastrophe and the importance of action. He reflects on his concept of “seeing yourself sensing” and its shifting nature in relation to different works across his career, and how he often includes the word “your” in his titles as a gesture of trust towards his audience. He discusses the wealth of writers and thinkers that inform his work on a daily basis, from Donna Haraway to Alva Noë. He recalls the epiphany of experiencing a work by James Turrell and his fascination with early Renaissance conceptions of space. He reflects on his early fascination with breakdance and his current enjoyment of music by Hilda Gunnarsdóttir and Rosalía. Plus, he gives insight into life in his vast studio in Berlin, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Olafur Eliasson: Presence, Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia, until 12 July 2026; Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey, Museum MACAN, Jakarta, Indonesia, 12 April 2026, Your view matter by Olafur Eliasson, Padimai Art & Tech Studio, Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore, 31 March 2026; and Olafur's first permanent public work in the UK, Your planetary assembly, 2025, is on view at Oxford North, Oxford, UK now.

Was The Quiller Memorandum (1966) a misunderstood spy movie — or a cinematic misfire? In this episode of Spybrary, we go deep into one of the most divisive spy films of the 1960s. From the controversial casting of George Segal as the iconic British spy to Harold Pinter's slow-burning, subtext-heavy script, Quiller has split opinion for decades. But is it time for a reappraisal? Join 4,500+ spy fans talking spy movies and books every day! Welcome to another episode of Section F - our Spy Movie Podcast track on Spybrary. Our Section F handpicked hosts and guests discuss their favourite spy movies both the classics and the hidden gems of spy films. Today Section F delve into The Quiller Memorandum starring George Segal, Senta Berger, Max von Sydow, Alec Guinness and directed by Michael Anderson. Screenplay written by Harold Pinter. The Spybrary Section F discuss the film's pacing, casting controversies (especially George Segal as Quiller), narrative strengths and weaknesses, themes of post‑war Germany and neo‑Nazism, comparisons to other '60s spy films like The Ipcress File, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and Funeral in Berlin, and the movie's subtle political subtext that resonates even today.

The infamous book burnings of Berlin were actually carried out by students and civilians across all of Germany. They were only backed by the Nazi government, not instigated by the same. The Holocaust Encyclopedia admits: “In May 1933, Nazis looted Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science and destroyed much of the archives in the Berlin book burning.” In another entry: “These student-led book burnings were organized by pro-Nazi university students, not by the Nazi German government. “The ISS was responsible for pushing every manner of perverse and niche sexuality, gender ideology, and pornography onto the public, including children. Their speciality was transgenderism and sex-change surgeries. We find something similar happening today. The United States is reportedly the number one user of OnlyFans (official report), a company run by a modern Hirschfeld named Leonid Radvinsky. In the 2025 search-result report from Pornhub, run by another Hirschfeld named Solomon Friedman, content like “femboy,” general LGBTQ, and transgender all exploded since the company takeover. Hentai remained number one overall. According to the data: 'Trans threesome' up 67 per cent. 'Trans amateur' rose 49 per cent. 'Queer' increased 132 per cent. 'Bisexual' saw an 88 per cent jump.Are we heading for another Berlin book burning?*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The Leisure System co-founder talks psychology, behavioral science and his standout album of the year, Stochastic Drift.Sam Barker's influence on contemporary electronic music culture spans many levels—not only as a producer and DJ pushing against traditional genre boundaries, but also as key figure behind the scenes as head of the label Leisure System. He came into RA HQ to talk about the central thesis in his current work: exploring organic, human timing in a genre that has become increasingly obsessed with mechanized grids. The Berlin-based artist tells us about how he puts this theory into practice in his standout album of the year, Stochastic Drift, and his recent collaborative project with saxophonist Bendik Giske. Beyond the technical, he also reflects on the evolution of the Berlin scene, the surprising arguments for liberation in the streaming economy and the role of art in imagining a utopian future.

Lower deficits and trade imbalances reduce economic pressures that drive up prices, potentially stabilizing costs for consumers and businesses.  these figures signal improving fiscal health. For context, the U.S. deficit was around $1.7 trillion in 2024; dropping it by $600 billion would bring it closer to $1.1 trillion—a substantial cut that could ease long-term debt concerns and support lower interest rates.  Lower inflation to 2% would mean steadier prices, boosting real wages and consumer confidence.   The U.S. budget deficit is the annual shortfall when government spending exceeds revenue in a given fiscal year. The national debt is the total accumulated amount owed from all past deficits (plus interest), essentially the running total of borrowed money. https://twitter.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2000268781084348516?s=20 Political/Rights https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1999945168120848428?s=20 https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2000177646072631506?s=20 https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/2000142553815847148?s=20 https://twitter.com/HamasAtrocities/status/2000263382197481781?s=20 https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/2000304813591118154?s=20 from pakistan https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2000160163282727197?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheBritLad/status/2000308891104797052?s=20 https://twitter.com/Currentreport1/status/2000199214870180153?s=20 https://twitter.com/C_3C_3/status/2000055847309791603?s=20 Brown University Shooting Suspect In Custody; Gunman “Yelled Something” Before Attack On Econ Classroom  The shooter “yelled something” before the attack … Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2000264684180746600?s=20   authorities have detained the suspect in the Brown University shooting that occurred on December 13, 2025, which left two students dead and nine others injured.  The person of interest, identified as 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson from Wisconsin (who is not a Brown student), was taken into custody early on December 14 at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, about 15 miles from the campus.  Officials have confirmed no other suspects are being sought, and the investigation is ongoing.

Source: thehindu.com CIA Outlet Concerned About Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Meeting with Top Zelenskyy Officials It  been  reported that the FBI has been working closely with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in detecting and discovering corruption amid Ukraine officials who have skimmed money from various international aid programs.  However, the Washington Post is suddenly concerned that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino have held “secret meetings” with lead Ukraine peace negotiator Rustem Umerov.   it is easy to get the sense that Rustem Umerov is in alignment with the U.S. proposals, but Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not.  Hence, Zelenskyy keeps returning to his U.K, France, Germany and EU support network for counterproposals despite his officials like Umerov working with the U.S. team directly. This paragraph from within the WaPo (CIA) framework seems to tell a background story: […] “The meetings have caused alarm among Western officials who remain in the dark about their intent and purpose. Some said they believe Umerov and other Ukrainian officials sought out Patel and Bongino in the hopes of obtaining amnesty from any corruption allegations the Ukrainians could face. Others worry the newly established channel could be used to exert pressure on Zelensky's government to accept a peace deal, proposed by the Trump administration, containing steep concessions for Kyiv.” (more) Perhaps Zelenskyy's primary negotiator for the USA team, Rustem Umerov, has specific knowledge of corruption connected to the generous financial support the USA has provided Ukraine.  Watching Yermak get taken down within the FBI/NABU investigation, might have triggered Umerov to cooperate on several levels. Umerov reported as happy with the negotiated U.S. terms. Volodymyr Zelenskyy openly not happy with the negotiated terms. This is worth watching.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, the complaint challenges contract provisions that prioritize teachers from “underrepresented populations” during layoffs, reassignments, and recalls, and that grant exclusive employment benefits to members of a third-party program known as “Black Men Teach Fellows.” Federal officials argue the policies violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race or sex in employment.
