After Bismarck slips away from her British pursuers, the Royal Navy launches a desperate search before dwindling fuel supplies force the chase to end. This episode follows the intelligence breakthrough that reveals the battleship's course, the Ark Royal Swordfish strike that mistakenly attacks HMS Sheffield, and the second attack that cripples Bismarck's steering and seals her fate.

"The United States Supreme Court needed to hear from North Dakota," Sec. of State Michael Howe said on this episode of Plain Talk. Howe is referring to his decision to sign onto an amicus brief with other Republican election officials from the states urging the U.S. Supreme Court to block implementation of President Donald Trump's mail voting rules. "In the last general election in 2024, we had 91,000 people vote by mail in the state of North Dakota. That's 25% of the overall vote came through the vote by mail process." He said that once he reviewed the requirements which would have been imposed in that rule, which the court has now blocked, he became convinced that they simply couldn't be implemented.  "There's a portal where the states were supposed to provide the United States Postal Service a list of eligible voters. That portal hadn't been tested," he said. "We don't know how accurate it would be. So things like that is what drew me to signing on to the amicus brief. We're 6 weeks away from election day. There's no way we can follow this. It's impossible." Howe added that North Dakota voters can have full confidence in the efficacy of the state's current election process. "Voters can be 100% confident that only North Dakotans that are United States citizens are participating in our elections, whether that's in person, whether that's in person early, and yes, whether that's vote by mail," he said. "The North Dakota state legislature has set forth a very secure process for North Dakota's vote by mail. You must first apply to vote by mail. You're never mailed the ballot without first applying for it. We have that verification process and the ballots must be in possession of the county election official by the time the polls close on election day and voter ID laws still apply." What made Howe's decision remarkable is that not only is he a Republican official pushing back on something from the Trump administration at a time when Republicans are expected to be absolutely loyal to the president, but he did so even as he runs for re-election. We asked him why voters should give him another four years in office. He touted initiatives ranging from promoting civic education to school children to modernizing customer service, including an appointment system that allows people in rural areas, for whom an office visit would be difficult, to make a virtual appointment. "You can schedule an appointment with the Secretary of State's office. So whether you're in Bismarck, whether you're in Beulah, whether you're in Walhalla, it doesn't matter. If you need some assistance in getting those filings done, you can schedule an online appointment," he said. "That's something I'm very proud of, is just the upgrades we've done in this office to bring it into the 21st century and have government responsive to the people's needs." Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discussed the controversy around Oliver County State's Attorney Patrick Waters and some frustration from lawmakers over a push to dramatically increase licensing fees for medical marijuana dispensaries and growers.

In week five of our "HEAR" series, Pastor Jim Ellis unwraps the ultimate promise of Matthew 11:25–30: "You will find rest for your souls." Looking at the Kairos moments in our lives—pivotal times when God invites us into deep inner transformation—Jim connects Jesus' words directly back to Jeremiah 6:16. When we answer the call to come, take, and learn, we enter into a life-giving relationship that rescues us from our own striving. As Augustine famously noted, our hearts remain restless until they find rest in God. To hear from Him and experience His re-creation, we must be willing to pull into the "rest stops" along our journey and walk daily alongside Christ.Weekly Challenge: What does your next rest stop with Jesus look like? Take time this week to pause, pull over, and ask: “God, what are You saying to me, and what am I going to do about it?”STAY CONNECTED

With Bismarck damaged and making for France, the Royal Navy concentrated an enormous collection of ships to contain and destroy her while Admiral Lütjens worked to release Prinz Eugen and escape his pursuers. This episode follows Bismarck's clash with the shadowing force, the inexperienced aircrews of HMS Victorious launching their torpedo attack, and the maneuver that finally allowed the German battleship to disappear from British radar.

This week, the Creeps talk about Matt's birthday party, where we tried Kelsey's best ever Italian Cream Cake. Then, Matt's uncle Kenny brought up a chocolate cake, donuts, and Bismarck's from Nu Era Bakery, located at 120 Stratton St. in Logan, WV. Open Tue-Fri 7 AM-5 PM, Sat 7-3, closed Sun-Mon. None of this cake lasted, we ate all of it. Then, Matt gets into some winter squatch, and then I guess some summer squatch? We're talking about abominable snowmen. But not just any old kind, nope we've gone weirder than ever, bringing you the Underwater Abominable Snowman of the Bahamas, found by whacked out divers in the late 70s. Somehow.They also talk about birthday parties, twists, cake fiends during cake season, hot dog shapes, the Buttercream Gang, and the history of yeti legends large and small.

In week four of our "HEAR" series, Pastor Jim Ellis explores the third active command in Matthew 11:28–30: "Learn from me." Unpacking the Greek root behind "learn"—which is deeply connected to being a disciple—Jim reminds us that we are created to be lifelong learners of Jesus. Following Christ isn't about arriving at complete perfection; it's about walking, working, and watching how Jesus lives so we can experience His unforced rhythms of grace in our daily lives. As disciples, we are challenged to slow down, find a quiet space, and sit with God to gain fresh understanding and build deeper trust in Him.Weekly Challenge: Find a quiet space with God this week, sit in His presence, and ask: “God, what are You teaching me right now, and how can I walk with You today?”STAY CONNECTED 

CAPTION 1935Dictator's Marginalia Reveals Mind's WorkingsGeoffrey Roberts, Part Two: Roberts details how Stalin's personal annotations, or pometki, in five hundred surviving archived books reflect how his mind worked and how he applied ideas. Roberts describes Stalin's interest in historical state-builders like Otto von Bismarck and Ivan the Terrible, whose reputations he rehabilitated to retrospectively justify his own harsh, authoritarian regime and state building. He notes Stalin's engagement with American constitutional structures and industrial management, despite his dogmatic Marxist belief in global capitalism's eventual fall. (2)

Ulrich Siegmund er smilende, veltalende og poleret! Han kører på en ikonisk lyseblå knallert fra DDR-tiden. Og om få dage kan han blive den første AfD-regeringsleder, hvis stemmernes fordeling falder i hak i Sachsen-Anhalt! Delstaten, hvor Martin Luther slog sine oprørske teser op på kirkedøren i Wittenberg i 1517, og hvor Otto von Bismarck, der samlede Tyskland, blev født i 1815. Men hvorfor stemmer vælgerne i den gamle DDR-delstat på det højreekstreme AfD, på en politiker, der vil tilbage til fortiden og genindføre russisk i skolerne? Som vil lære børn mere om Bismarck end om Hitler og genskabe "tysk identitet"? Som fører kulturkrig mod "modernisme!" Som vil afvikle sanktioner mod Moskva, købe russisk gas igen og stoppe hjælp til Ukraine? Og som vil tvangsdeportere migranter ud af Tyskland? AfD og Siegmund vil vinde på søndag! Spørgsmålet er om sejren bliver stor nok til et absolut flertal? Lykkes det, har de traditionelle politikere og deres partier fejlet totalt!

In week three of our "HEAR" series, Pastor Jim Ellis explores the second part of Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28–30. Beyond the call to "come," Jesus gives a warm, urgent, and active challenge: "Take my yoke upon you." Looking at the Greek imperatives, Jim unpacks how a yoke binds us together with Christ and invites us into His way of living—a life marked by agape love for God, love for others, and stepping out in the Great Commission. While the "empire of me" often stands in the way, taking on Jesus' yoke isn't burdensome; it is a yoke of true freedom.Weekly Challenge: Spend 9 minutes with God in Matthew 22:33–40 this week and ask Him: “What are you saying to me, and how should I respond?”STAY CONNECTED

Dansk-tyska kriget 1864, eller andra slesvigska kriget, blev en katastrof för Danmark. Vid freden tvingades landet avstå hertigdömena Slesvig, Holstein och Lauenburg. Danmark förlorade omkring två femtedelar av sitt territorium och befolkningen minskade från cirka 2,6 till 1,6 miljoner människor. Sedan mitten av 1600-talet hade Danmark förlorat territorium efter territorium. Provinserna öster om Öresund gick förlorade till Sverige och 1814 avträddes Norge. Kvar fanns det egentliga Danmark, de nordatlantiska besittningarna – bland annat Island, Färöarna och Grönland – samt hertigdömena Slesvig, Holstein och, från 1815, Lauenburg.Under nationalismens tidevarv blev den sammansatta danska monarkin allt svårare att hålla ihop. Holstein var övervägande tyskspråkigt, medan Slesvig hade både dansk- och tyskspråkig befolkning. Danska nationalister ville knyta Slesvig närmare Danmark, medan tysknationella krafter ville förena Slesvig och Holstein.Konflikten hade redan lett till det första slesvigska kriget 1848–1850. Då gjorde slesvig-holsteinska nationalister uppror mot den danska kronan med stöd från Preussen och andra tyska stater. Danmark gick till slut segrande ur kriget, samtidigt som stormakternas diplomatiska ingripanden spelade en viktig roll. Sverige-Norge gav Danmark stöd och stationerade trupper på Fyn och i norra Slesvig, men de deltog inte i striderna. Konflikten löstes dock inte. När Danmark genom novemberförfattningen 1863 försökte knyta Slesvig närmare kungariket samtidigt som Holstein skildes från denna konstitutionella ordning reagerade de tyska makterna. Den 1 februari 1864 gick preussiska och österrikiska trupper in i Slesvig. Danmark stod nu militärt isolerat mot två stormakter. I avsnitt 38 av Militärhistoriepodden samtalar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om ett av de största nationella traumana i Danmarks historia. Hur kunde det gå så illa? Varför utmanade Danmark de tyska stormakterna i stället för att finna en politisk kompromiss om hertigdömena?Den danska krigsmakten gick in i kriget med en stark tilltro till sin egen förmåga. Men redan natten mellan den 5 och 6 februari tvingades armén utrymma den symboliskt laddade försvarslinjen vid Danevirke. Militärt var reträtten nödvändig, men för den danska allmänheten upplevdes den som en katastrof. Armén drog sig tillbaka till bland annat Dybbøl. Där följde en lång belägring. Det moderna preussiska, räfflade och delvis bakladdade artilleriet kunde beskjuta de danska skansarna på avstånd. Under veckorna före stormningen regnade tiotusentals granater över ställningarna. Den 18 april kulminerade bombardemanget. Efter sex timmars intensiv beskjutning stormade preussiska soldater de sönderskjutna skansarna. De danska styrkorna led ett svårt nederlag och drog sig tillbaka över Alssund. Ön Als förblev dock dansk ytterligare två månader, tills preussarna erövrade den den 29 juni. Men vad hindrade Danmark från att förlora ännu mer?Vid freden i Wien den 30 oktober 1864 tvingades Danmark avstå Slesvig, Holstein och Lauenburg. Efter det preussisk-österrikiska kriget 1866 kom Slesvig och Holstein under preussiskt styre. När det tyska kejsardömet bildades 1871 ingick områdena i den nya tyska staten. Kriget var samtidigt en viktig etapp i Tysklands enande. Den preussiske ministerpresidenten Otto von Bismarck utnyttjade skickligt konflikten politiskt. Generalstabschefen Helmuth von Moltke hade under flera år studerat ett möjligt krig mot Danmark och utarbetat operationsplaner. Hans roll växte dessutom under själva fälttåget.Bild: Jørgen Sonnes målning från 1871 skildrar striderna vid Dybbøl 1864, en avgörande drabbning i dansk-tyska kriget där danska styrkor besegrades av Preussen.

As Hood and Prince of Wales raced toward Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, worsening weather, uncertain contact reports, and the limitations of Hood's armor shaped Admiral Holland's plan of attack. This episode follows the tense final hours before the Battle of the Denmark Strait, from preparations aboard all four ships to the identification error that sent the British guns toward the wrong target as the order to open fire was given.

From Matthew Flinders' cat Trim, who circumnavigated Australia in 1801, to Unsinkable Sam, who survived the sinkings of the battleship Bismarck, HMS Cossack, and HMS Ark Royal within six months in 1941, ship's cats served — and died — alongside their crews for nearly the entire history of naval warfare. This episode traces the tradition from its origins in rodent control and shipboard superstition through USS Maine, HMS Prince of Wales, and Simon of HMS Amethyst, the only cat ever awarded the Dickin Medal, to the Royal Navy's 1975 ban that officially ended it. Dale and Christophe ask what these animals actually meant to the sailors who served with them.

While diamonds placed South Africa on the map, gold was going to convert the struggling region into a financial paradise for British financiers — and therein lies the imperial rub. However, it's time to step back a tad to provide an historical overview for the late 1880s and it's also time to zoom out of southern Africa to take a good hard look at global events. For centuries before European powers drew border lines across maps of the continent, the western Indian Ocean functioned as a single economic basin. Fleets of dhow's linked Gujarat, the Persian Gulf, the South Arabian coast, and the Swahili littoral, their journey's dictated by the predictable rhythm of the monsoon winds which blow southwest toward Africa from November to March and reverse northeast toward Arabia and India from April to September, This was a commercial matrix of city-states fueled by the exchange of African ivory, timber, gold, and slaves for Indian textiles, Chinese porcelain, and Middle Eastern metalwork. The Sultanate of Zanzibar was born directly out of this maritime deep history. In 1840, Sultan Seyyid Said of Oman moved his royal court from Muscat to Stone Town on the island of Zanzibar. By anchoring his authority off the East African coast, he consolidated control over the lucrative trade routes stretching deep into the African interior to the Great Lakes. The island served as a massive commercial emporium and agricultural power, built heavily on clove plantations operated by slaves while Indian merchant financiers—the banyans—backed the long-distance caravans into the mainland. Sultan Barghash bin Said was a proud son of the legendary Seyyid Said, inheriting the throne of Stone Town in 1870 while his brother Majid was bequethed Oman itself. Sharper and more ambitious than Majid, Barghash spent his eighteen-year reign modernizing Zanzibar—building piped water systems, telegraph links, and grand stone palaces. But his survival relied on a faustian bargain. Guided by Sir John Kirk—the British Consul-General who became his shadow advisor—Barghash aligned his dynasty entirely with London. Kirk was the single most influential British official in East Africa during the late 19th century. A Scottish physician, naturalist, and explorer, he first gained prominence as David Livingstone's trusted second-in-command on the Zambezi Expedition between 1858 and 1864. In 1866, he was appointed to the British Agency in Zanzibar, eventually rising to become Consul-General and Political Agent. When German agent Carl Peters began seizing territory on the mainland, London chose European alliance-building with Berlin over its promises to Zanzibar. In 1873, under direct British gunboat pressure, Barghash signed the treaty that outlawed the maritime slave trade and shut down Stone Town's notorious public slave market. It was an act of political self-mutilation; it deeply alienated his own Omani elite and rich plantation owners, but Barghash traded his domestic standing for what he believed was an ironclad guarantee of British protection over his mainland empire. Unfortunately, that gamble proved fatal. The Foreign Office in London watched the global map with growing anxiety as rival flags sprouted across the continent. What infuriated British diplomats most was a sudden, unnatural alliance between their two greatest rivals: France and Germany. Furious over Britain's unilateral grab of Egypt in 1882, the French teamed up with Otto von Bismarck to check British ambition. London had tried a sly maneuver in West Africa—signing a treaty with a weak Portugal to recognize Portuguese control over the mouth of the Congo, effectively using Lisbon as a buffer to keep other powers out. But Bismarck saw right through it.

There's been a lot of talk in North Dakota in recent weeks about kratom after Gov. Kelly Armstrong issued executive orders banning the substance and called lawmakers into a special session in Bismarck with an eye toward making that ban permanent. But what does the kratom industry think about it? "We agree with the governor in part and we disagree in another part," Mac Haddow said on this episode of Plain Talk. "It's a lot like being married, right? We have to get it right at the end." Haddow is a former state lawmaker, and a Reagan-era chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Currently, he's a senior fellow on public policy at the American Kratom Association, and where he and his organization agree with Armstrong is on synthetic kratom. He said that colloquial descriptors like "gas station heroin" are accurate. "There's no question it's the same as an opioid." But on a previous episode of Plain Talk, Armstrong said the natural, botanical variety of kratom should be banned too, and that's where Haddow and his group diverge. Natural kratom is a different animal. "This is akin to what happened during Prohibition," he argued. "We don't call moonshine corn and we certainly don't call caffeine coffee. These are things that need to be closely examined and properly regulated." Haddow argues that good policy coming out of this session would ban synthetic kratom and regulate the natural variety to ensure that it's only available to adults and is transparent about things like ingredients and dosage. Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I responded to listener feedback and talked about renewed controversy around Fargo-area state lawmaker Rep. Desiree Morton. In June, Morton attacked fellow lawmakers for allowing Somali volunteers on their campaigns. More recently, in private messages, Morton insinuated that a ward proposal for Fargo's city government would allow "imports" to take over the city. Morton said in her message that she's "not a hater," but Oban disagrees. "She is a hater," he said. "She's a bigot. She's a racist."

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March, 2022On this episode of Weird Darkness, host Darren Marlar follows a flying machine that may never have flown, a cat credited with surviving three warships in a single year, a silver cylinder buried under a haunted Oklahoma mound, and a cylindrical object that tore into a Bolivian mountain in broad daylight.It opens in Worcester, Massachusetts, in December of 1909, where Wallace E. Tillinghast, vice-president of the Sure Seal Manufacturing Company, told the Boston Herald he had invented a heavier-than-air flying machine that could carry three passengers some three hundred miles at a hundred and twenty miles an hour, only a few years after the Wright brothers had struggled to keep a powered aircraft aloft for a few hundred feet. Wallace never produced the machine, yet crowds across Massachusetts and out into Arkansas, New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island reported a mysterious airship moving silently through the night sky, with one witness in Revere describing seventy-foot wings and an engine he claimed he could hear rumbling from the ground. In Providence, a young H.P. Lovecraft cut through the excitement by identifying the light everyone was pointing at as the planet Venus. The New England Skeptical Society would later attribute the whole affair to collective wish-fulfillment, while the UFOlogist John A. Keel traced it back to an unnamed inventor who had been working his way east since the great California airship sightings of 1896, recruiting well-liked local men like Wallace to serve as the public face of a flying machine that never quite worked.From there the show crosses to the North Atlantic and the tale of Unsinkable Sam, a black-and-white tuxedo cat said to have survived three shipwrecks during a single stretch of the Second World War. As the legend runs, he began the war aboard the German battleship Bismarck, was pulled from a floating plank by the crew of the British destroyer HMSCossack after the Bismarck went down on May 27th, 1941, and was renamed Oscar. When the Cossack was torpedoed months later, the cat was said to have been rescued again, this time by the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, which is where the nickname Unsinkable Sam took hold; after the Ark Royal itself was torpedoed on November 14th, 1941, he reportedly turned up unharmed once more and was carried off by the HMS Legion. Darren measures the story against the record, noting that Bismarck survivors recalled no cat aboard, that a well-known photograph tied to Sam actually shows a different ship's cat named Simon of the HMS Amethyst, and that the seagoing cat was a genuine naval tradition even if this particular survivor may have been assembled from several.Next comes a haunted mound outside Binger, in Caddo County, Oklahoma, and a silver cylinder said to hold the reason the local people would not go near it. The account reaches print through a 1930s newspaper clipping rediscovered by Mrs. Cossette Willoughby of San Jose, California, in which a traveling reporter digs at dawn beside a mound her friends Pat and Louis warned was watched by two phantoms, a woman by day and a headless man by night. Inside the cylinder are papers written in Castilian Spanish, describing how a soldier named Alfonzo, separated from Francisco Vázquez de Coronado's 1541 hunt for the Seven Cities of Gold, wandered into a cave and down into a hidden underground country called Kenyan, ruled by long-headed people and guarded by hairless, dog-like beasts that gave off a musty animal odor. Drawing on Timothy Green Beckley's book Subterranean Worlds Inside Earth, the segment lays out Alfonzo's account of his wife Teen, their failed escape on the back of one of those beasts, and the sentence that supposedly set their preserved bodies walking the mound to frighten off anyone who might find the passage.The episode closes on the afternoon of May 6th, 1978, when something cylindrical slammed into the El Taire mountain along the Bermejo River, on the border between the Bolivian province of Tarija and Argentina, with a supersonic blast heard 150 miles away and windowpanes cracked 30 miles out in every direction. Border policemen described a metallic object trailing white smoke; Corporal Natalio Farfan Ruiz felt the ground tremble as it fell, and Policeman Juan Hurtado said the thing passed directly over his head before it struck the slope. The Buenos Aires newspaper Clarín reported that a police chief in Tarija had located a dented metal cylinder roughly twelve feet long, and while a promised NASA expert never arrived, two United States Air Force officers, Colonel Robert Simmons and Major John Heise, did, later confirmed through released State Department documents to have flown in under a program called Project Moon Dust. Darren ends on the stranger thread running through those files, the 1127th field activities group's interest in HUMINT, the gathering of UFO information from human sources through what the documents themselves describe as a game of deceit.

In May 1941, the German battleship Bismarck prepared for its first and only wartime cruise into the Atlantic. This episode examines the strategic pressures behind Operation Rheinübung, the compromises that left Bismarck and Prinz Eugen without the support originally envisioned, and Admiral Günther Lütjens's growing concern that the mission placed Germany's most powerful warship at unacceptable risk.

"We know of at least 23 deaths in North Dakota where it's listed as a primary cause," Gov. Kelly Armstrong said on this episode of Plain Talk, referring to the substance kratom. Armstrong made headlines this week when he announced a temporary executive order banning kratom, and that he was calling lawmakers to Bismarck for a special session to pass more permanent policy. Some claimed that kratom is a ruse intended to cover other issues, such as the red-hot data center debate, or the financial disaster that is a military museum on the capitol grounds, but Armstrong made it clear that the session is very much about kratom. "We've basically only started testing for this stuff since September of last year, nd everybody I talked to in this space that knows what it is from the health perspective says this stuff is really, really addictive and it's really bad news and it's completely unregulated right now in North Dakota," he said. "If we have to overreact to something this addictive, I'm comfortable overreacting," he added. But Armstrong did indicate that he hopes lawmakers do something about the military museum mess while in Bismarck, even if it just means appropriating the dollars needed to winterize the project, buying some time for the legislature to come up with a way to address it during their regular session beginning in January. He also indicated that, while he has no control over what bills lawmakers consider, he would be very skeptical of signing any sort of a data center moratorium. "I'm not a huge moratorium guy," he said. "If the argument is we have to make sure there's more local control, doesn't a moratorium take all local control away? I don't see that as being a real viable scenario at this point." Also on this super-sized episode of Plain Talk, Signe Snortland, a candidate for the state Senate in District 33 said that if she were participating in the special session, she'd vote for a moratorium. The district she lives in touches on four counties, each of which have at least one proposed data center project in them. She acknowledges that the data centers are needed, but said North Dakota needs more time to consider the policies around them. One thing she'd like to see on the table is a requirement for reclamation bonds, in case the markets turn and the data centers are abandoned. "We're worried what will happen if the bubble bursts and people walk away from these plants," she said. "What happens in the county and the city? How do they reclaim the land?" Co-host Chad Oban and I also discussed the ways in which Doug Burgum is overshadowing his strong legacy as a leader and businessman in North Dakota by carrying President Donald Trump's rancid political water, the controversy over pride flags in Detroit Lakes, and political shakeups in Fargo-area legislative districts, including the possibility that Rep. Jim Kasper, an elderly lawmaker who has been out of the public eye for some time after suffering a brain bleed, could soon be replaced.

“The ultimate defeat of Japan [will] be accomplished by blockade, bombing, and assault.”This is the story of American island hopping—or should we say leapfrogging?—through Pacific waters. By 1943, the Japanese are settled in for the long haul, no matter what it may cost. America sees some successes like new skip bombing techniques at the Battle of the Bismarck sea, but a change of strategy is needed for real gains. American leaders General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral William "Bull" Halsey launch Operation Cartwheel, a strategic campaign of amphibious landings designed to neutralize Japanese strongholds like Rabaul, Papua New Guinea without attacking head-on. Meanwhile, even though the Solomon Islands are still an active war zone, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt undertakes a morale-boosting tour, visiting every wounded soldier she possibly can. Just a few short months later, Americans win the brutal Battle of Tarawa at great cost, a decisive victory that exposes the devastating realities of island warfare to those back home. Is each tiny island in the Pacific worth this much death? Or can another path be found? ____Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com andgo deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendationsjoin discussions in our Facebook communityget news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live showget HTDS merchor become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.HTDS is part of Audacy media network.

Historian and author Lord Conrad Black joins Secrets of Statecraft _to discuss the third volume of his monumental _Political and Strategic History of the World, covering the turbulent years from the reign of Louis XIV to the outbreak of the First World War. The conversation explores the rise and fall of great empires, the enduring influence of statesmen such as Napoleon, Lincoln, Washington, Bismarck, and Teddy Roosevelt, and the forces that shaped the modern international order. Black offers provocative reassessments of the American Revolution, the British Empire, the French Revolution, and the Congress of Vienna, while examining whether history is driven by great individuals or larger historical currents. Roberts and Black also discuss what the successes and failures of the past can teach us about today's geopolitical challenges—and whether humanity's long march has truly been one of progress.

In May 1941, the German battleship Bismarck, one of the most powerful warships ever built, sank the British battlecruiser HMS Hood in a matter of minutes at the Battle of the Denmark Strait. What followed was one of the largest hunts in naval history. After three days of desperate pursuit across the North Atlantic, a crippling torpedo strike from a lone Swordfish biplane, and a final, brutal showdown that sent the pride of the German fleet to the bottom of the ocean. This episode traces the full story of the Bismarck's fateful voyage, from the loss of the Hood to the ship's last stand against the Royal Navy, in one of World War II's most dramatic naval battles. **

Welcome back to the History of South Africa podcast with me your host, Des Latham. Episode 283 and it's 1885. And boy! Do we have a plethora of happenings to report. This is a year before the discovery of gold in the Transvaal, and global events are full of war, innovation, ethnic carnage, economic ups and downs, world firsts, medicine, and a dose of snot and trauma. The year 1885 opened with a strange and ironic trial by fire across England, balancing state-sanctioned progress against lawless destruction. In January, Irish rebels shattered the peace by detonating dynamite inside Westminster Hall and the Tower of London, raining literal fire and brimstone upon the ancient symbols of British authority. Amidst this chaotic violence, a far more orderly kind of incineration took place. That same year, the widowed painter Jeanette Pickersgill of London, a lady "well known in literary and scientific circles," became the first person to be legally cremated in England by the Cremation Society at Woking, Surrey. It was a classic Victorian paradox: while the state scrambled to suppress the lawless Irish bombs threatening to burn the old order down, it was simultaneously finalizing the bureaucratic regulations on how its most respectable citizens could legally burn themselves to ashes. In Southern Africa, 1885 saw two major geopolitical moves - In March the United Kingdom Established the Bechuanaland Protectorate - modern day Botswana. The second event was the incorporation of the tiny Boer republic of Stellaland into Bechuanaland. It was all part of a grand plan partly initiated by Transvaal president Paul Kruger. He had sailed to London in 1884 and met Secretary of State of the Colonies Lord Derby where the two struck a deal. Derby would drop the British claim to suzerainty over the Transvaal and reduce the Transvaal's debt, and reduce the powers of the British representative in Pretoria, in exchange Kruger agreed to decrease tariffs on imported goods and to drop claims to Stellaland and Goshen, thus opening up Cecil John Rhodes' important North Road. The agreement promised a rare season of peace and stability for the fractured region. Yet, its true survival rested entirely on whether both sides would honor the principles they had so recently espoused. They did not. Or to be more accurate, Pro-Boer and Pro-Imperial activists did not. Transvaal commandos rode into Zululand and into Bechuanaland, cocking a snook at their own leadership. On the British side, all manner of colonials looked askance at the Kruger/Derby Deal. One was missionary and humanitarian, Reverend John Mackenzie, a prominent member of the London Missionary Society. He had spent most of his adult life proselytizing amongst the Tswana people at Kuruman and Shoshong. Mackenzie was the Boer's arch enemy, denouncing incursions from the pulpit in South Africa, then back in the UK when he was on leave in 1882 and 1883. The Road to the North worried him because of how dominant the Transvaal Boers were in this region.As King Leopold of Belgium, the French, Bismarck of Germany and others met to finalise who got what in Africa, the British Foreign Office suddenly woke up. They were concerned about the Transvaal and German South West Africa. The British Government did a volte-farce, and sent a powerful army up the North Road. Four thousand regular troops, including the famous Inniskilling Dragoons cavalry regiment from Ulster in Northern Ireland, along with three observation balloons, all headed towards Stellaland from Kimberley.

There are many correlations and connections in this episode, so hang on tight as we toboggan down the slippery slopes of history bumping into all manner of bizarre and simultaneously heinous characters. Keeping in mind that we're dealing with men and women of their age, nevertheless, the tale is one of intrigue, ego, treasure hunting, not to mention, madness. Belgium by 1882 was barely half a century old, becoming independent in 1830, ruled by King Leopold the Second, who sported a spade shaped beard and a giant colonial chip on his shoulder. Because he led a respectable European country, he was a king, but how he'd become a king was a sleight of hand. His father was a German prince, related to the British Royal family, Leopold the First. This trembling nation had been pasted together — an uneasy amalgam as Adam Hothschild writes — of French and Flemish, a version of Dutch spoken in northern Belgium. King Leopold the Second was fluent in French, German, like his father and later, English. He never bothered to learn Flemish, spoken by more than half his people. A snob, some said, bitterly, as bitter as the division created by language and class. French was the language of the bourgeois, the educated, Flemish was working class. Even the professionals of northern Belgium spoke French instead of Flemish, the perceived language of the farm labourer and factory worker. As a teen, Leopold the Second was a gangly youth, his head too big for his body, his clothes hanging off his spindly shoulders — a callow boy who's mother tended to write him threatening letters about his lack of interest in studies rather than speak to him directly. He was useless in most subjects except for Geography. Leopold the Second was a Geography freak, and from the age of ten, his education was based in military lore. By fifteen he was a lieutenant of the Belgian army, 16 he was a captain, 18, a major, 19, a colonel, and a year later, at 20, a major general. This pencil thin spindle of a boy had to apply for an audience with his father - who spoke to his son through messengers. As this alienated boy aged, he surrounded himself with men who explained how government worked, and plied him with maps.When the elder Leopold died, Leopold exclaimed : “Petit pays, pettis gens”. — small country, ordinary people. Belgium, just for the record, is about the same geographic size as Lesotho and squeezed between France and Germany, the grand nations of Europe in the late 19th Century. Leopold was peeved by his puniness, something had to be done to rouge up the petit pays. Recognizing growing domestic pressure and the strategic need to split British and French alliances, Bismarck plunged Germany into the colonial race. In 1884, he hosted the Berlin Conference, with a hazy goal at formalizing something about the European partition of the African continent. The main aim of Berlin Conference was to deal with the growing pressure of European claims over West Africa, but it was much more than that. It began formally on Saturday 15th November 1884, as winter snow which had arrived early cloaked Berlin. The plenipotentiaries had their brief - but what was Bismarck planning? Was this a free trade conference to safeguard German business in the Congo and Niger? Or was Bismarck about to wield a hefty cake slicer, to carve up the whole African continent?

The podcast begins with the US-Bosnia World Cup match (SEC championships as the definitive metric), then open the Phoebe Draper Palmer Brown mailbag. Jerry from North Dakota earns a heartfelt thank-you and an unnecessary swipe at the Bismarck capitol building, plus a Roosevelt-in-the-Badlands tangent and BYU's windowless MARB building. Elder Ballard (the Nauvoo Mississippi River mission one) requests a new segment: ranking the top apostates.   Enter the debut of the "The Great Apostate Hall of Shame." First up, outside-looking-in: Joseph Wakefield, a powerhouse early missionary who baptized George A. Smith, then apostatized, joined Kirtland's anti-Mormon committee, and helped hire Philastus Hurlbut.   Reason for Apostasy: He couldn't accept D&C 76's expansive vision of heaven. The Takeaway: Don't let any belief become the one that separates you from the prophet.   If you are interested in joining us in 2027 in Palmyra and Kirtland, August 1st through August 7th, click on the link below and reserve your spot: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261567888174171   Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠⁠   If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com
