Podcasts about Bosporus

Es braucht viel Mut, um in der Türkei zu protestieren. Da ist sich Martin Lück sicher. Der Volkswirt beobachtet mit großem Interesse, was am Bosporus passiert: Seit Ekrem Imamoglu am 19. März festgenommen, in Untersuchungshaft gesteckt und als Istanbuler Bürgermeister abgesetzt wurde, kritisieren dessen Anhänger den zunehmend autoritären Kurs von Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Weit über 800 Menschen wurden inzwischen angeklagt. Europa, meint Lück, könnte mehr Kante zeigen.Imamoglu ist innenpolitisch der schärfste Konkurrent Erdogans. Offiziell geht es um Korruptions- und Terrorunterstützung, doch für die Unterstützer des Oppositionsführers sind diese Vorwürfe politisch motiviert. "Erdogan hat entschieden, Imamoglu aus dem Spiel zu nehmen", sagt Türkei-Kenner Lück im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit". Er hält den Zeitpunkt der Festnahme für keinen Zufall: Imamoglu sollte wenig später von seiner Partei als Kandidat für die nächste Präsidentschaftswahl aufgestellt werden.Aus Deutschland kommen kritische Rufe nach schneller Aufklärung. Doch diese Stimmen sind "bemerkenswert leise", sagt Lück. Die Türkei ist ein Land, das aus europäischer Sicht strategisch enorm wichtig ist. So ist Erdogan zwar auf der einen Seite Partner des Westens, zugleich pflegt er einen guten Draht zu Putin. Was auf ersten Blick kaum zusammenpasst, stärkt die Verhandlungsposition des türkischen Präsidenten gegenüber seinen europäischen Partnern: "Erdogan weiß um seine Macht", sagt der Volkswirt. "Ich würde fast sagen, er hat uns in gewisser Hinsicht in der Hand."Denn seit US-Präsident Donald Trump die Weltordnung durcheinanderwirbelt, ist die Türkei aus europäischer Perspektive wichtiger denn je: für Handelsrouten und Flüchtlingsdeals, aber auch für sicherheitspolitische Aspekte. Denn die Türkei ist Nato-Partner mit enormer Schlagkraft. Das Land verfügt nach den USA über die zweitgrößte Truppenstärke aller Bündnispartner.Für Lück steht fest: Erdogans Lust an der Macht ist groß. Das Vorgehen des türkischen Präsidenten gegen Imamoglu hält er für einen Schritt in Richtung Diktatur. Mit einem schärferen Vorgehen gegen türkische Propaganda auf deutschem Boden könnte man Erdogan "vielleicht ein bisschen weh tun". Ausreichen werde das aber nicht. Vor allem hofft Lück deshalb auf den Mut der Menschen in der Türkei - und dass sie sich auch in Zukunft nicht einschüchtern lassen. Denn auch Erdogan "wird nicht ewig an der Macht sein".Schreiben Sie Ihre Fragen, Kritik und Anmerkungen gern an www@n-tv.de.

A Time WarpBy FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.What follows is a diversion from the central storyline, but it is crucial to understanding why certain members of the supporting cast are behaving the way they are.808 BCE near Halab in what is today's Northern Syria:For me, Cael Nyilas, it was a return to last night's horrifying scene that engulfed me. The screams of dying horses and moribund men crying the pantheon of life's final regrets. Blood, piss, voided bowels and the stench of comingled sweat and leather filled my nostrils. The true cacophony of battle was all about. The battle shock faded into an innocuous background distraction.In my heart of hearts, I felt at ease, even content. We were cut off and surrounded yet hardly hopeless. Men, my brothers-in-arms and the younger noble sons of Assur and Nineveh combined to put a press of shields, armor and flesh encircling us. Those 'pampered' aristocrats stank with fear and well they should. Death was still possible before their relief arrived.I hurt, Shara (my deity?), I was wounded, but it meant nothing. I laughed; a primitive version of 'atheists and foxholes' passing through my mind. This body had lived through much worse. The closest man, her deceased husband's cousin, and I lifted the shattered wooden chariot off the person our circle was centered on. My arm was extended to her.She was glorious, fierce and half-drunk with battle lust. I could feel her talon-like fingers through the leather and 'parzillu' scales guarding my bicep. She half jumped and was half pulled to her feet. Her kinsman presented her 'misplaced' sword, hilt first. In her eyes, I saw the burning intensity of the Shamash (Sun God, consort of Aya?) at the height of the Burning Season.Her martial mirth exceeded any other noise as it passed her lips."You took your time getting here," Shammuramat taunted me, not a true reproach. "I was so bored, I decide to take a nap in the shade of my conveniently overturned chariot." She defied all fortunes that conspired toward her demise; her own breed of madness."You looked so peaceful in your sleep, I didn't want to wake you," I bantered back. Her 'kinsman' scowled at my familiarity with his monarch. My champions, more like brothers to me than any kin born of my blood, had carved a gory swath to her stranded bodyguard. Mounted on Median steeds, we had pressed back the entourages of two Aramean kings bent on her violent passing.A barricade of overturned, or unattended chariots gave us space to dismount and perform our very visible rescue mission. All the pieces were right where she wanted them; everything unfolding according to her plan. Focus the enemy in the center with her person and the banner of Assur while the rest of her chariots and all of her cavalry swept through an unguarded wadi and fell upon them from behind.Brilliant. Somewhat less brilliant when faced with the desperate energy of our enemies, but her victory was already a certainty. The allied Western Kings were sure my command was attempting to snatch the Queen back to the safety of her infantry. Those hardy, foot-bound souls were still holding their own against the greater mass of the enemy footmen.The children of rebellious nobles bent every bit of their remaining energy, squandered their last reserves to ensure Shammuramat didn't escape. If the positons were reversed, they would have eagerly abandoned their troops and sought safety to the rear. The idea of Shammuramat being overwrought with terror was absurd.Our opponents' bellows for our blood turned into wails of despair. The charging, plumaged steeds of Assyria had appeared behind them. Our enemies had nothing left to slow the new arrivals down, much less stop them. For those who dared defy Shammuramat, Queen of all the Akkadians, the slaughter was just beginning."Come 'Alal' (that was me); I promised 'Atarshumki' I would kick his head over his own city walls before sunset and I always keep my promises," she shoved one of my horse-holders aside and took one of my steeds. 'Alal' was not the name my father gave me. It meant destroyer and it was blasphemy to lay claim to it."Killing kings will cost you extra," was my impious response.Assyrians nobility barely tolerated mercenaries most of the time. My men and I didn't care. I hadn't taken up the killing business to make friends and my troops felt the same way. What mattered to us was that their coin was good and delivered on time. That was a good thing because whores and merchants were loath to advance 'our kind' anything on credit."I'll meet you half way," she grinned manically at me while my fighters and I raced for our mounts. (Saving the junior nobility wasn't what she were paying us for.) "I'll let you take any prince you capture as a hostage." I nodded. My men cheered hungrily, despite the choking dust. As long as I didn't get too greedy, the Kings would pay for their sons. Now we had to capture the bastards."Tūbātu," I reminded them. 'Goodwill'. It was a polite way of saying 'stop your chariot, rest your arms and your mother won't have to come begging for your corpse'. It was best to let opposing nobility keep their dignity in our business. Today's enemy might be tomorrow's paymaster.I blinked and things changed.Planting followed harvest and harvest followed planting. It had long ago become a blur. Shammuramat had grown older. Her first son became king when he was of age. I had long exceeded my welcome and my desire to stay. I was fixed to this small patch of the greater world by a rare emotion, empathy.It had come out of nowhere. We were campaigning against the Scythians raiding over the Zagros Mountains and followed them into Urartu. Night had fallen and I walked the camp as was my habit; being killed a few times in your sleep will make you err on the side of caution. Shammuramat was gazing out over the river Arkas."I though all the scouts have returned," I asked as I stepped to her side. A cool, early autumn breeze blew down the valley, tossing a few loose locks of her greying hair. She always had one patch shorn short which made her left-side braids prone to unwind."They have. We head back for Nineveh with the dawn," she murmured, her mind elsewhere."Do you ever dream of home?" she asked me out of the blue."No. I don't dream anymore. I rarely sleep and if I did, I would hope to dream of something less boring," I snorted in amusement. She had never talked about her home, to anyone as far as I knew."You will be going to Lydia when winter comes," she stated tensely."King Gyges needs someone with experience beating Cimmerians," I answered. The true reason was that I was no longer welcome on the Assyrian payroll because I insisted on recruiting only non-Assyrians into the ranks of my ferociously effective little band of one hundred; never more and rarely less."Shemtsu is a fool," she grumbled."That is unfair," I countered. My willingness to argue with her was one of my charms in her eyes. "He is an excellent Treasurer and he makes sure your vassals pay their tribute on time and in its full amount."The silence was hurtful to me because Shammuramat was never one to obfuscate her thoughts, especially around me. It was one of her charms, to my way of thinking."Salmu Eretu, the northern night sky has no answers for what ails you. Get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to start out cold before it bakes us." I called her 'Black Cloud' in Akkadian.I had first used that name twenty years ago to insult her, highlighting her tempestuous nature. In the Assyrian court, having just received recognition for my quick thinking, Shammuramat had belittled my accomplishment, throwing my body between her, her unborn child (the man who was now not-so-gently ushering me to the border) and a Kassite noble and his retainer bent on killing them both.Had my deed not been witnessed by half a dozen reliable sources, I wouldn't even have received that tawdry token."He sought glory without risk," she spat out her insult in a Hittite tongue alien to this court. Unfortunately for us both, I had worked for a Babylonian family for a few generations and they had been kind enough to turn me from an illiterate commoner to a man of some education.Ironically, they even taught me my native cuneiform long after my birthplace was barely a memory."Well aren't you a black cloud on an otherwise waste of a day," I replied somewhat bitterly. Her eyes widened, then narrowed and then I heard her laugh for the first time."Should I tell them what you said?" she mocked me and my predicament."But of course," I grunted in Akkadian. I'd screwed up. My inner thoughts were 'please not decapitation, please not decapitation' because getting my head on straight after that was a real bitch."You've been nothing but a black cloud bent on turning the choking dust at my feet into a grasping, muddy morass. Why stop now?" I announced loudly. If you are going to die, die well. Having died too many times to count, remembering my last words were all I had left to look forward to.The guards, familiar with the Queen's temper and stunned into inaction by me clearly embracing a long, messy death, stood around uselessly. Had I been allowed a weapon in the royal presence, I might have thought which one to kill first."I gift you, a lowborn man of the South (Sumerian), with honors and you respond by insulting my wife?" King, Shamshi Adad V growled as he rose from his throne."Husband," she stood to join him. I thought it was a pity she rarely smiled. "You asked that I too give a gift to my savior and the savior of our son (all unborn babies were sons back then until roughly half had the audacity to gender switch while exiting the womb). I have chosen." I was expecting my life for the moment and a day's head start to the border."It is your choice to make," the King allowed."From this day, until my passing, this man may always speak his mind in our lands," she demanded. She had a habit of fatally correcting anyone who saw her as less than co-ruler. The hesitation was deafening."As you will," Shamshi Adad V acquiesced to yet another of his wife's odd 'requests'. From that day forth we had been fast friends. She never asked about my immortality, where I was from, or how I ended up with my elite band of professional killers. I returned the favor. It was an unspoken understanding that in a few years, or decades, she would die and I would leave, not necessarily in that order. We had shared more years than I had given to any one person in quite some time."There is nothing left for me but ash," she declared with morbid certainty."Should any of us expect any better?" I did my best to offer words of comfort she would accept."Oh no," her noise was too bitter to be a laugh. "I had my own 'Life beyond Death' and it was stolen from me, along with my birthright.""We are chasing the thieves?" I asked."Yes and no," her face grew grim once more. "These were not the ones I was looking for. They share some bonds with some of the Scythian tribes who live on the far side of the Sea of Death (the Black Sea). These raiders weren't from those tribes.""Why are you turning back?" I questioned. "You know your Assyrians are loyal. They will follow wherever you lead. Your son won't begrudge you these few hundred. I'll come too.""Why?" she turned and looked into my eyes. She still had that blazing fire in her eyes. She was teasing me. If she asked, I too would follow and my men would follow me."The Scythians have been raiding the Lands of the Two Rivers from, well, before I graduated from 'spear for hire' to a 'seeker of a mastery of war'. The rich plunder of their camps will provide plenty of incentive for my men plus we can sell the horses when we come back," I stated."I do not have the years left to spend on such a campaign," she sighed. I had never heard a hint of defeat in her speech before. It was unsettling and rather tragic."I have squandered my years in marriage, being Queen and raising my boys. I tried to make Assyria my new family and I am revealed to be a fool. You had it right. We will always be outlanders. No matter how brave, loyal, just and smart, we would never be allowed in their sanctimonious circle," she said. "You. I should have ridden off with you after my first born was acknowledged (the present King Adad-nirari the 3rd).""We could have gathered up some more fighters, ridden over shattered Phrygia, to the narrows (Bosporus) and into the lands of the Thracians. There is a legend of a great river that pours out from the western shore of the Death Sea. What I seek is up that river.""How many would we face?" I grew equally serious."One," she coughed. "Me." My confusion was obvious. "I am not asking you to fight me, Alal. I want you to come back for me.""I can't. That is not how it works," I stated."How does it work then?" she looked into my eyes. The fire was there, but banked and waning. I didn't say anything. "I have never seen, or heard of you entering a temple.""Your men go. You do not stop them, but you have given up any pretense of worship," she pressed. "Do you not believe that anything exists beyond your senses?""I believe," I sighed. "I believe people are fools for giving offering, pledging their fidelity, pleading for mercy, or extending thanks to any deity. Those Shar-an (gnats) do as they will, unless it is to punish us for treating them like the spoiled children they are."Shammuramat regained her long-stilled laughter."I have always felt a kinship with you through our mutual bitterness.""Bitterness comes with familiarity," I snorted in amusement. Lovers had passion. We shared a simmering anger that came from being irredeemably wronged."I was born Baraqu, the first son of a potter in some city that no longer matters. I was a failure as a potter and an embarrassment to my house and my clan," I began a story I hadn't told another soul in, I couldn't recall. "In those days, the Priest-Kings declared wars and demanded each clan of the city give forth a certain number of males to fight. My family volunteered me and two rowdy cousins.Outside the gates, my clan elder gave each of us a cowhide shield and a spear with a small spindle of copper at the tip so we wouldn't think it was a staff. We marched, I forget which city we were fighting that time. Three days later we found the enemy behind a deep irrigation ditch that had dried out for the season. Our orders were simple, 'There they are. Attack!'My elder was at the back of our mob, making sure none of us ran away. My older cousin made it across the ditch first, but was speared twice; once in the right kidney, I can still remember my first sight of blood, and once, piercing the shield and lodging in his ribcage. My second cousin and I were pushed from behind into the fighting. I stabbed at one shield, doing no harm.Then my surviving cousin's morale broke and he tried to claw his way back into our ranks. He was stabbed in the back, his dying body tangling with mine and bearing us both to the ground. I saw this howling mad face over me. He was a commoner, like me, driven to violence by the terror of battle. His shoddily crafted spear plunged first into my right lung. The second stab found my heart. I died.From there, my spirit fell down toward the wretched dank caverns where all pitiful lowborn dregs are doomed to end up without hope of parole. Instead of endless misery, the Goddess Sarrat Irkalli appeared before me, barring my descent. With icy claws, she trisected my soul. I cannot begin to describe that agony. She snatched up my tattered bits and dragged me back into the world.Sarrat Irkalli is Goddess of the Netherworld, whispered a word that penetrated my brain through the left ear of my cooling corpse. It was an utterance so catastrophic to the fabric of the Veil I dare not repeat it even now.Baraqu? she blew a dark wind upon the first bit of my essence and it flew away.Cael, she whispered to the second portion and off it went in another direction. You are Baraqu no more. The second name was meaningless to me at the time but my name. Do you know that if you have your true name, your spirit can not find its way to your reward, no matter how foul, or pleasing? To the third part of my soul. I name you Alal, he who stands witness to the end of all he desires; their destroyer. Powerful yet powerless.}With that, she left me. My body was stiff from being dead so long. The next few hours were extremely painful. The Sun had set and the Moon was not in evidence. Jackals barked and hyenas laughed as they fought and feasted on the dead. I pushed the body of my cousin off me then crawled down into the ditch to hide. Hardly the reaction of a hero.""Not the actions of the man I know," Shammuramat smirked. "So, your name is Baraqu.""Was and I never much liked the name," I countered. "The priests gave it to me because right before my naming ceremony, a bolt of lightning from a spring storm struck the temple of Shara. So they named me Baraqu, which means 'struck by lightning'.""That sound likes a good name," the Queen Dowager regarded me."That is the noble meaning. The common meaning is less eloquent, it means 'idiot'."Another deep laugh from my treasured compatriot. So few had ever mattered so much to me."Struck by lightning, stricken dumb," she guffawed. "Still not the 'you' I know.""What does the other name mean?""I have no idea. In all my travels I have never found a people familiar with it," I shrugged. She looked out over the low waves lapping against the stony shore."No explanation?" she grudgingly inquired. She had wanted me to continue."No. I have never again come face to face with Sarrat Irkalli, been visited by a messenger, divine, or demonic, received an omen, or any otherworldly presence of any kind," I shrugged. I was long past any resentment. "After the battle I made my way back home, we'd lost, and resumed my life for a few years. My father took the excuse of me 'letting' my kinsmen die to place my younger brother over me.I didn't care. I always hated being a potter, so I ended up being a piddling nuisance all the time and a drunken brawler whenever I had wrangled some beer. I was always the first choice of my clan to send into battle. Despite my lack of training, I began surviving more battles than I died in. At some point, the priests began getting suspicious that I was still hanging around my great-grandnephew's house, so my house Elder suggested I leave the city.I was given a nice copper-headed mace that I had taken in a recent skirmish. Tradition dictated I offer it to the Elder, so he could give it back to me as a sign of my value to the clan. He had taken it for his own. Now he was giving it back out of fear that it held some part of my taint. I had no idea how to live on my own. Two days out, I was robbed and murdered for the first, but not last, time. That inaugural event, I got really angry and hunted those two farmers down.I got my mace back. I also relieved them of an onager, three slaves and a few ingots of silver. I guessed they had been rather successful robbers until they met me."

Orte und Worte war wieder live im Studio 14 der rbb Dachlounge hoch über den Dächern Berlins. Die Lichter der Stadt glitzerten dabei fast so verführerisch durch die Fenster wie der Bosporus in Istanbul. Dorthin, auf einen Roadtrip durch die Türkei, geht es mit dem neuen Roman "Verkin" von David Wagner. Verkin ist der Name einer kosmopolitischen Frau und Unternehmerin, einer Türkin und Armenierin, die sieben Sprachen spricht und fast genauso viele Ehemänner hatte, in Paris, New York und Düsseldorf lebte, und überall vor Ort gewesen zu sein schien, wo gerade zufällig Weltgeschichte passierte. Wie David Wagner mit Fakten und Fiktion spielt, wie er Istanbul und die echte Verkin erlebt hat, und inwiefern sein Roman auch vom Völkermord an den Armeniern und den politisch-historischen Verhältnissen in der Türkei erzählt, hört ihr in dieser Folge. Das Buch David Wagner "Verkin", 400 Seiten, Rowohlt Der Autor David Wagner, 1971 geboren, schreibt Romane, Essays, Erzählungen, Feuilletons. "Meine nachtblaue Hose" war im Jahr 2000 sein Debütroman. 2013 bekam er für "Leben" den Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse, 2019 veröffentlichte er den Roman "Der vergessliche Riese" über seinen demenzkranken Vater. Als Großstadtflaneur erkundet er in Büchern wie "Verlaufen in Berlin" oder "Vier Äpfel" Orte wie Supermärkte, Hotels und seine Wahlheimat Berlin. "Verkin" ist sein fünfter Roman.

Stel, je ligt als oeroude, schitterende stad op twee continenten. Je bevindt je in zeer select gezelschap, hebt altijd wat te vertellen op feesten en partijen. Je kunt altijd rekenen op een flirt van patserige jonkies als Dubai en Los Angeles. Geen wonder dat Istanbul kan rekenen op een enorme lading street cred. Want Istanbul ligt niet al eeuwen te chillen op twee werelddelen, Istanbul vórmde die werelddelen. Als je tegelijkertijd zeggenschap hebt over Mekka, Jeruzalem, Bagdad en Boedapest, dan heb je wel angstaanjagend gegromd naar de wereld. En dat hebben ze aan de Bosporus aardig gedaan. Maar vlak ook de verleidelijke knipoog niet uit die Istanbul in huis heeft. Want deze Turkse schone verovert nog steeds de harten van de hele wereld.

When the capital of the Roman empire was moved from Rome to the city of Constantinople, the city on the Bosporus strait became one of the most important places on planet earth. One top being the heart of Roman religious, political, and cultural life for a millennium, the city had a reputation for being impregnable. From the 6th to the 13th century the city was besieged an amazing 19 times, and not once was it overcome by a foreign army. This resilience added to the city's legendary status. Two of the most significant sieges came at the hands of the Muslim Umayyad Caliphate, in 674 and 717. These battles have been cited as historical turning points, however recent scholarship has cast doubt on the traditional sources. How significant were these sieges? Did they both even occur? Tune-in and find out how sassy Voltaire, sloppy meta-narratives, and the end of the world all play a role in the story.

1600 Jahre lang, vom namensgebenden römischen Kaiser Konstantin bis zum Untergang des Osmanischen Reiches in den Wirren des Ersten Weltkrieges hatte Konstantinopel alias Byzanz alias Stambul oder Istanbul als Hauptstadt wechselnder Großreiche fungiert. Mit der Entthronung des letzten türkischen Sultans und der Begründung der Türkischen Republik durch Kemal Pascha 1923 war diese Geschichte an ihr Ende gekommen. Die Regierung saß seither im zentralanatolischen Ankara, und auch durch die Verluste fast aller verbliebenen europäischen Provinzen der Türkei fand sich die alte multiethnische Metropole am Bosporus plötzlich in ungekannter Randlage wieder. Ein Bericht aus Konstantinopel, den wir im Hamburgischen Correspondenten vom 23. November 1924 fanden, nennt keinen Autor, vermittelt allerdings deutlich das Bild einer Weltstadt im Niedergang. Es liest Frank Riede.

Kapitel 7 - 2Das Logbuch der Demeter, des Schoners, ist ein Dokument des Grauens. Die Fahrt began in Varna wie eine ganz normale Schiffspassage und ohne grosse Probleme schipperten sie durch den Bosporus ins Mittelmeer und weiter Richtung Gibraltar. Aber irgendetwas ist noch auf dem Schiff, dass da nicht hingehört. Da verschwindet einer der Besatzung, später noch einer. Aber die Durchsuchung des Schiffes ergibt nichts. Niemand, der nicht zur Mannschaft gehört, nur hölzerne Kisten mit Erde. Ein dauerhafter Nebel umgibt das Schiff und es werden immer weniger. Schliesslich ist der Kapitän alleine und sieht sich aller Hoffnung beraubt. Der Kapitän wird später mit allen Ehren auf dem Friedhof von Whitby bestattet.

We admit it: we went too early with the Eric Adams story a couple weeks ago… and circumstances have developed not necessarily to the Mayor's advantage… so No Gods, No Mayors' Mattie Lubchansky (and Riley Quinn and November Kelly) join the gang to discuss details of the Very Unfair, Biased Eric Adams Indictment Witch Hunt, where a simple country mayor is persecuted only for his love of the boat cruise of the Bosporus and Turkish YIMBYism. Also, we discuss recent events in Lebanon and then read an article about a hyper-secure island for billionaires off the coast of Miami.

In the twenty-first century, infrastructure has undergone a seismic shift from West to East. Once concentrated in Europe and North America, global infrastructure production today is focused squarely on Asia. Infrastructure and the Remaking of Asia (U Hawaii Press, 2022) investigates the deeper implications of that pivot to the East. Written by leading international infrastructure experts, it demonstrates how new roads, airports, pipelines, and cables are changing Asian economies, societies, and geopolitics—from the Bosporus to Beijing, and from Indonesia to the Arctic. Ten tightly interwoven case studies powerfully illustrate infrastructure's leading role in three global paradigm shifts: climate change, digitalization, and China's emergence as a superpower. Combining social science methods with mapping techniques from the design professions, Infrastructure and the Remaking of Asia establishes a dialogue between academic research on infrastructure and the professional insights of those responsible for infrastructure's planning, production, and operation. By applying that mixed method to transport, energy, telecommunication, and resource extraction projects across Asia, the book synthesizes research on infrastructure from six academic fields, while making those insights accessible to a wider audience of students, professionals, and the general public. Max Hirsh is managing director of the Airport City Academy and a research fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder. He holds a PhD in urban planning from Harvard and is the author of Airport Urbanism: Infrastructure and Mobility in Asia. Max's research investigates the relationship between air travel and urban form. Till Mostowlansky is a Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at the Geneva Graduate Institute and the Principal Investigator of the Swiss National Science Foundation funded project “Quiet Aid: Service and Salvation in the Balkans-to-Bengal-Complex”. He is currently a Visiting Professor at the Kyiv School of Economics. Yadong Li is a PhD student in anthropology at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of the anthropology of state, the anthropology of time, hope studies, and post-structuralist philosophy.

Am 6. Februar 2023 bebt die Erde in der Türkei und Syrien mit einer Magnitude von 7,8. Es ist eines der schwersten Erdbeben in der jüngeren Geschichte der Region. Allein in der Türkei sterben dabei über 53.000 Menschen. Besonders betroffen ist die Provinz Hatay, wo die Schäden noch immer sichtbar sind. Genau dort in Antakya in der Provinz Hatay lebt Cihat Mazmanoğlu. Als Bauingenieur hat er sich sein ganzes Berufsleben um erdbebensicheres Bauen bemüht. In Zusammenarbeit mit Universitäten hat er Häuser nachgerüstet, um sie vor schweren Beben zu schützen. Auch wenn er damit einzelne Häuser vor dem Einsturz retten konnte, ausgereicht haben diese vereinzelten Bemühungen nicht. Denn die Probleme sind strukturell: Pfusch am Bau, Korruption und zu wenig Baukontrollen. Das könnte auch Istanbul zum Verhängnis werden. Istanbul ist eine der bevölkerungsreichsten Städte Europas. Schätzungen gehen von mehr als 17 Millionen Einwohnern aus. Und auch die Stadt am Bosporus steht vor einer unsichtbaren, aber allgegenwärtigen Bedrohung: der Gefahr eines schweren Erdbebens. Die Metropole liegt in einer der aktivsten seismischen Zonen der Welt, und Expertinnen und Experten warnen seit Jahren vor einem möglichen Beben, das verheerende Folgen haben könnte.  Doch was kann konkret gegen die latente Erdbebengefahr unternommen werden, und welche Rolle spielt dabei die politische Führung unter Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan und seiner AKP? Hannah Grünewald und Til Kube haben recherchiert und mit Menschen in Istanbul und Hatay gesprochen.

In dieser Folge von „Hotel der Woche“ entführen wir euch in ein wahres Juwel Istanbuls: das Çirağan Palace Kempinski. Dieser osmanische Palast begeistert mit einer faszinierenden Geschichte, atemberaubendem Blick auf den Bosporus und dem wohl romantischsten Restaurant der Stadt.

Mit einem überraschenden 2:1-Sieg hat sich die Türkei für das EM-Viertelfinale qualifiziert. Weshalb jubeln Deutsch-Türken für das Land am Bosporus? Und was hat Mesut Özil damit zu tun? Außerdem: Der Haushalt 2025 auf der Zielgeraden? (13:23) Barbara Schmidt-Mattern

Schauspieler Erol Sander nimmt uns mit seinem persönlichen Reiseführer "Nice to meet you, Istanbul!" mit in die Stadt an den Bosporus.

Verhaftet, gefoltert, freigelassen - die Soziologin Pinar Selek musste die Türkei verlassen und kämpft aus dem Exil gegen Islamismus, Militarismus und das Patriarchat am Bosporus. // Von Renate Maurer - ORF/SWR 2023 - www.radiofeature.wdr.de Von Renate Maurer.

Wir reisen mit unseren Motorrädern durch Europa in Etappen. Zwei Jahre lang standen unsere Maschinen in einer Werkstatt auf Zypern und es wird Zeit, dass wir unsere Tour fortsetzen. Wir lernen zypriotische Motorradfahrerinnen kennen, erkunden die geteilte Insel auf kleinen Straßen und Zelten direkt am Strand. Zurück nach Festland - Europa gibt es nur einen Weg: Wir müssen über Nordzypern und die Türkei fahren. Diesmal klappt es an den Grenzen reibungslos und die Türkei empfängt uns wieder mit grandiosen Berglandschaften. Allerdings ist es im März auf fast 2.000 Metern noch eisig kalt und im Schneesturm macht das Fahren keinen Spaß. Hinzu kommen immer öfter Probleme mit Sonjas Motorrad. In Istanbul fahren wir über den Bosporus und verbringen ein paar Tage im eropäischen Teil der Millionenstadt. Wieder gibt es technische Probleme, diesmal ist es die Kupplung in Sonjas Yamaha. Kurz bevor wir die Etappe beenden müssen geht gar nichts mehr. Werden wir es noch rechtzeitig nach Bulgarien schaffen?

Day 599.Today, we bring you news of Putin's visit to China and look at how Russia is using a ghost fleet in the Black Sea to circumvent regulations on maritime transit through the Bosporus in a time of war.

Jahrhundertelang galt das alte Osmanische Reich als „kranker Mann am Bosporus“, dem nur deshalb nicht die Totenglocke läutete, weil sich die europäischen Großmächte nicht über die Verteilung des Erbes einigen konnten. Ihre letzten europäischen Besitzungen verloren die Türken fast alle im Ersten Balkankrieg 1912/13, und auch im Ersten Weltkrieg setzten sie mit den Mittelmächten auf das falsche Pferd. Dass nur fünf Jahre nach dessen Ende die eigentlich beschlossene Zerschlagung der Türkei null und nichtig und stattdessen deren Wiedergeburt als moderne Republik zu vermelden war, grenzt da tatsächlich an ein politisches Wunder. Zwar war der militärische Weg dorthin äußerst blutig und an einigen Fronten auch von schlimmen Gräueltaten begleitet. Dennoch blickt das 8-Uhr-Abendblatt vom 2. Oktober 1923 mit einigem Respekt in die neue Hauptstadt Angora, das heutige Ankara, und auf den uns als Atatürk bekannten Staatsgründer Mustafa Kemal Pascha. Wie weit man in Deutschland von einem vergleichbaren Aufbruch entfernt war, wie tief man, im Gegenteil, in der politischen und ökonomischen Dauerkrise steckte, verrät einmal mehr der Preis, den man aufwenden musste, um des Abends in der S-Bahn oder Stammkneipe von den Entwicklungen in der fernen Türkei zu lesen: 4 Millionen Mark. Das Wort hat Paula Rosa Leu.

Faction Cannot Prevail (8)   (audio)   David Eells – 8/2/23  Impostor Seducer Anonymous – 7/25/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamed this man came over leading another man and around 4 women that came and sat in the lake with us. (The lake represented peoples as in scripture in Revelations.) The leader man sat next to David and was acting to David as if he was best friends and acting so very friendly. (Kevin C. Rea did act this way. He was always an impostor seducing people to think he was a good person. For years he fell into every faction that came by to prove he was not.)  As soon as I looked in the leader man's eyes, I saw demons of sexual lust and perversion. (The dreams of our men and women especially, proved this and they were fulfilled in his actions, but we treated him with love and did our best to help him change.)   His “personality” was like a salesperson that has much self-confidence and uses flattery and nice words to trick people to like him and to listen to him. He was that kind of person. (Yes, this is Kevin, he is selling himself as someone he isn't, but the dreamer did not know him and when witchcraft and perversion was added to him because of this he used it to seduce women and a man.) I didn't feel I could trust him at all, and he didn't seem genuine, but it was like he had many faces that he would hide behind. (But this man was the type of man that many people were attracted to because of his false “qualities” which were just acting.)   David and Michael were genuine and kind to this man like they are with everyone, but they seemed to be weary also. (True) The leader man just talked so much as if he was with the UBM and as if he was really important and he had much pride. It was made known that the man with him was a close friend of his and he constantly stayed next to him shoulder to shoulder agreeing with everything he said. (This is Eddie Brast.) It seemed like he was in love with him. (This is true. He believed every lie Kevin told him and dreams and actions proved this was a bisexual relationship. The leader always hung out and spoke to the factious bisexuals and homosexuals from earlier factions.) But the 4 women had just met these guys at the lake.   The leader man then went and got these printed papers and they were stapled together. He handed out one each to all of us except Michael and David. I quickly skimmed through it, and it was basically all these pictures and words trying to convince the reader that this leader man is an awesome man and if you follow him and be friends with him, he will give you whatever you want or desire. But everything in there was highly sugar coated and naturally it looked innocent and good but what was really behind it was evil.  (He is controlled by seducing acting demons and witchcraft. He is putting on a show.) I overheard the 4-women saying they love it and a few of them desperately desired a husband and they thought they would get a husband from this. They thought everything would be perfect and they literally fell in love with this man just from reading these things. (This is a spirit of seduction and lust that he put on the women.)   I knew this whole thing was wrong and it was like a scam, so I went and asked this leader man a bunch of innocent questions relating to this book thing. All I did was ask questions, but his own answers basically exposed himself and his evil corrupt intentions. His evil was brought into the light from his own words in front of everyone there. He was then embarrassed about his sins being exposed in front of Michael and David and he told the others to follow him, and he quickly left without saying goodbye. (This is exactly what happened when he was revealed to our body.) The other man and the 4-women left with him. So, it was just us with Michael and David again. They were amazed that the man exposed himself and it confirmed the actions that the rumors had said about him. I then understood that that was the man the other Brethren were warning us about.       Word   Anonymous 7/29/23  A word from the Lord, "Eve is to experience this path and trial. This is a teaching to help her learn and overcome. Much of the path taken is to show in a real demonstration of how vile this faction spirit is. Not only for her and her children, but for others who know and see where and what she has, and is currently going through.   The release and final conclusion where she will be able to come back, will occur. This will be the removal of Kevin and Eddie. (note: I then saw them both falling to the ground, while clutching their chests, as having a fatal heart attack. It was like a red lightning bolt went through them both at the same time. I know it was an Arch Angel, sent with power and authority, unstoppable might!) (The bolt of lightning could be the sign of judgement from God, but the physical death could be caused by the clot shot or the same poison in chemtrails, which often takes out the heart. I say this because we have other dreams about Eddie dying from snake poison coming upon him. This has been administered by clot shot and from chemtrails.)  It is here, Eve will be able to walk free from shackles and torment. Only from the final conclusive event that will occur. Pray for all of their souls. Do not rejoice. Have sorrow for all. I'm in suffering for each of them.   My dearest David, for you, I am with you in the physical and spirit. I know you anguish and desire for her and all the captives to be set free. Yet, this is a purification process for each. For you, especially, to trust Me implicitly and absolutely without any holding onto or second guessing. Have you any other options but My decision? It will come to pass and the time and understanding on what ensued it, not thought about. We will all celebrate together. Be assured completely. I have made a way."      Freeing The Children Of God   Anonymous 2021 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt that I was standing in the lounge room of a man's house that I didn't know. The house was on a big property, and it had a large driveway and there was much space between the entrance of the property and the house. (This is representing the house of the satanists who have God's people captive.) Behind the house was a yard but behind that was all bush like a national park. The whole property was fenced.  (Representing captivity) I went inside the house to get something, although I don't know what, and there were two men and a woman that lived there. (This is Kevin, Eddie and Eve in the spiritual house.) One man was the only one here right now and he went into a separate room to grab the item I was here for. (They were there for the children of God that were seduced with their slander and witchcraft holding them in captivity.)   I sensed something not right in the spirit about this place. I looked around the room and I saw what looked like a red cupboard door behind me. I walked over to it and opened it and I saw a yellow slide that went around in a circle leading down to the basement. (Yellow represents danger, hidden beneath the surface of their seductive smiles was captivity.) I slid down on the slide and landed in the basement where there were around a hundred children all crowded together. (Representing the children of God held captive by their demons.) There was barely any room between them, and they were all different ages (Spiritually speaking) from babies to young teenagers, boys and girls.   They didn't know who I was, and they never said anything to me but I knew this was wrong. I just felt in my spirit that these children didn't belong to these people, and they had been kidnaped and used for evil. I picked up two of the young children and I told the other children to pick up younger children and I told them to all follow me and I will take them away from this place.   There was a window that led out of the basement, and I opened it and helped all the children get out of it. (The window could represent the “open window to heaven” that we have to the Father's throne of grace.) I was surprised that the children hadn't gone out the window themselves or tried to escape. To my shock when all the children were led out, they were all just standing there. I had expected them to have run off away from this place and to be rejoicing in their freedom. (The faction uses satanic brainwashing, slandering the righteous, telling them lies, mind control, manipulation, fear and threats to keep them in bondage.)   I told them all to follow me as quickly as they can and to run to the gate. Many toddler boys ran ahead of me towards the gate, some children walked or ran around me but many were still behind me. I kept encouraging all the children to keep walking as fast as they can and kept telling them that they will be going to a better place.  (I am sure much of this will be done through warfare and prayers of faith.) It was a long walk to get to the front gate. As I walked, I turned around and I could still see the house, I saw the two men and the woman standing on the deck and they were watching all of us. I thought they would run after us, but I heard them calling out to the children to come back. (Through witchcraft curses.)   Some of the children seemed to be confused whether to listen to me or the people back at the house. Some of the children were hesitant and stopped walking and I looked behind and asked them to keep walking and they didn't have to go back to that evil. A few of them looked at me but then turned back and walked to the house. (There is much confusion operating through the faction. These are spirits put on them through brainwashing, and confusion to keep them in captivity.)   I was still carrying babies and trying to encourage all the children to keep running towards the gate and not to look back. I was always calm and speaking in a gentle loving tone and I felt so much love for all of these children and I really wanted to protect them and get them to a safe place. However, so many more of them turned back and I was so confused about why they would want to go back. Maybe because they were not delivered from those spirits, and they were afraid to go somewhere they didn't know.   All the children, including the teens always had a neutral facial expression. They never said anything, and they didn't do anything without being told. (They are like a calf at a new gate.) They wouldn't climb out the window and walk to the gate unless I told them, it was like they couldn't do anything by their own will, but only by being instructed by someone else. (This is due to captivity to Kevin's ruling demons over their individual demons. They are lifeless, with a lack of love. We must continue to pray against the faction and their witchcraft, casting down all their plans of evil devices and curses over God's children. We must cast out witchcraft, voodoo, faction, criticism, lust, slander, and suspicion, demons from them. Distance does not matter.)   And they didn't go back to the house until they heard the voice from the people telling them to come back. It was very strange. (They have been conditioned and controlled with satanic ritual abuse and deception of slander.)   I just kept moving and encouraging the children to all keep walking and it was an easy walk to the gate. It was a little distance but there was nothing in the way. When we almost got to the gate I looked up to the sky and it was night, but I could see so many stars. But a giant strong wind started all around us and up above there were items flying around. I saw chairs and household items, leaves and many other random things flying high up in the sky from the strong winds and it felt as if a cyclone was close. (This could represent the war in the heavenlies as we do spiritual warfare against the enemy commanding the release of those in captivity. But satan and the faction have already been defeated for the elect's sake! We need to continue to sing praises to God and rejoice in the release of all those being held captive in deception!)   I told the children to all go through the gate, but I looked around and saw all the teenagers walking or running back to the house. I called out to them to please not go back because they don't deserve that evil. They didn't even look at me but kept going back to the house. (The older we are in the Lord the more responsible we are to go against our flesh, which is totally against their mindset. Also teenagers are more affected by the lure of sexual sins going on in this cult.) Most of the children that stayed with me and went through the gate were young babies around 5 years of age and some a little older. (Jesus said except you become as a child you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.)  We all then went through the gate and were all safe, but the majority of the children all went back to the house. (We were told that only a third of those who went into faction would return. These are the elect. Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of the heavens.   Isa 49:25 But thus saith Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.)   (This reminded me of the song: Enemy's Camp where we are to take back what the enemy stole from The Kingdom of Heaven.)   (An evil alliance of spiritual Edomites have come together to persecute Christians here and overseas. They will all go down as the Lord comes to judge them.)     Satanists Join Together to Murder Christians  The Catholic satanists with the help of JW spies have just bombed a funeral party in the Middle East killing Christians because they were converting people from their cult and eternal death.  Our first nasty email from a Catholic enforcer, probably a Jesuit, blamed their stabbing of our brethren to death, who did not resist them, on me because my books speak only the Bible truth and deliver their people from hell. So, he said they would do a black mass to kill me, which is witchcraft.  We just received the second nasty email from an enforcer of the Catholic religion bragging on the deaths in the Middle East and speaking of our own deaths in the local body very particularly.   The information could only have come from our satanist faction, who is guilty of those deaths by witchcraft, headed by Kevin C. Rea who hacks our phones and email and stalks our women. He uses witchcraft, voodoo, and faction to overcome the minds of our women so he can violate them. A practice common to satanists.   These two satanist groups have many things in common historically. They hate the scriptures and those who publish them. They both take advantage of women sexually and sacrifice children. In our case their children were sacrificed to bisexuality, satanism, and generally antichristian behavior, full of witchcraft and faction.  Operation Disclosure reported that the Alliance arrested many of the Cardinals and others, who were then tried and executed for molesting and sacrificing children. We were told the current pope is a look alike because he was prosecuted for the same thing and executed.  One search of the internet brings up the historic murder of multitudes of Christians by the Catholic Church. On the first page of the search there comes up these articles from which I briefly quote. Anyone can go to the same articles and many more to understand the full scope of these slaughters throughout their history.      How Many People Has the Catholic Church Killed?  https://churchreaders.com/how-many-people-has-the-catholic-church-killed/   “The Catholic Church is one of the most notorious and deadliest organizations in history. It has killed an estimated 1.2 billion people over its history, making it responsible for more deaths than any other institution. In addition to its murderous legacy, the Church has been accused of sexually abusing children and women for centuries.” (Note: This does not include all of the children of these murdered Christians who would have grown up to be Christians.)      Did the Roman Catholic Church Actually Persecute and Kill Other Christians?  https://www.christianforums.com/  Many today don't believe that the Roman Catholic church actually persecuted and killed other Christians and yet the record is clear it did.  Read on at this link to see the fuller story of the slaughter of multitudes of Christians by the Catholic Hierarchy:  “the Albigensians   the Bezirs   the Cathars   The Waldensians  The Spanish Inquisition   Hussites  Spanish Netherlands   Huguenots  30 years' war against the Protestants  This does not include the persecution and killing of the Jews … Jews were enslaved, their property confiscated, and their children forcibly baptized. … When the Crusades began, thousands of Jews were slaughtered all through Europe as they marched to the Holy Land … Jews were exterminated by them in England, Spain, France, Poland, Germany, Bavaria, Austria, etc.   ISIS/ISIL Muslim fanatics have nothing on the persecution of Christians by the Roman Catholic Church.”       Did Catholics Kill Christians?  https://www.answers.com/  “Unfortunately, yes. The Catholic Church was prepared to kill members of any Christian group that threated their monopoly on power. The bloodiest example was the slaughter of the Cathars, a Gnostic Christian sect in southern France during the Middle Ages.  In 1099, the First Crusade, established under papal authority, took Jerusalem and massacred the population, regardless of whether Muslim, Jewish or Christian, saying that God could decide their fate in the next life. The People's Crusade of 1096 attacked the Hungarian city of Semlin and burnt Belgrade, before being escorted across the Bosporus by Byzantine guides…  It is well known that the Catholic Church instituted a pogrom against those accused of witchcraft, eventually resulting in the torture and execution of thousands of innocent women. (These demons like the enforcers always accuse the Christians of doing what they themselves are doing.)  At first this could at least be justified by the superstition of the time. Gradually the inquisitions degenerated to the point that women were accused and executed so that their wealth could be seized, while in other cases they were allowed to go free in return for handing over property or for sexual favors. This is one of the saddest chapters in Catholic history.” (It seems they have graduated to molesting and sacrificing babies more today.)  The Catholic Church is A large part of the Harlot of Babylon. She is A mother of the harlot religions born from her, which are the traditional apostate protestant religions. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.  Rev 17:1-6 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters; (I.e. Many peoples tribes and tongues. She is a harlot because she receives the seed of the world instead of Jesus.) 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication. (The political types always cater to the masses of duped religions.) 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast (The one world political beast), full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.   4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, (Her favorite colors) and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls (Rich beyond her needs, while her people starve.), having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, (She will be and do anything you want if it pleases her flesh) 5 and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (She brought forth the harlot churches) 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints (She has murdered multitudes to hold her evil position), and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. (We have buried some of her martyred saints and of course it's our fault to them. Duh) And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder.  Rev 18:1-3 After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.  23 and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.   Rev 19:1-3 After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God: 2 for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever.  And now our satanist faction has joined with them and will receive of her plagues. They too are guilty of the blood of the saints.  I was raised a Catholic but left in my teen years. When I and my wife were later saved and started reading the Bible, we realized that we had been completely lied to about God. And that none of the people I knew in Catholicism knew, “You must be born again” and I witnessed that they were not by nature. It was a huge deception to keep people from the truth. My wife was almost a nun in her last year of training when she asked God if she was to come back the next year. He told her clearly “Get out of here and never come back”.   After she was saved and learned about the deception, she decided to go to a Catholic study to ask questions. When She brought up some of the history, the priest told her to “leave the skeletons in the closet.” If the root is rotten so is the tree.  She was dating two people at the time; one had studied to be a priest and then there was me who was to her a pagan :o) so she asked the Lord which one she would marry. To her shock He said, “David”. So, then she said, “Well you will have to save him” so He did, but not how she had expected. :o)  There is an exception to the rule in Catholicism. Some of the Catholic Charismatics are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit who is leading the elect out of the false traditions of men. My Mom was a catholic because she had that religious spirit connected to it. So being weak to the weak I took her to a Catholic Charismatic meeting and a nun in full habit locked eyes on her and came to ask her if she could speak with her in another room and she agreed so I went along. That nun was in disguise and preached the gospel to her straight as an arrow. LOL. It wasn't long after that, that she was reading the testimony books on my bookshelf. PTL!  Anyway, the Catholics murder of some of our missionaries will have some good effects.     Vision of Middle East Brethren Maturity   Anonymous 7/28/23  I saw the Brethren in the middle east with extraordinary faith, and with no doubt hindering them, and knowing their power and authority in Christ, and knowing the Word spiritually and applying it.   They had Faith that the enemy can't even touch them, because they know the price paid and Who lives in them.   I saw demons trembling, because of the Faith they had, and because Jesus was manifested through them. It was not just their enemies trembling, but also the spirits in all those around them. They were in fear of Jesus in them, because He was so strong in them.   No weapon formed against them would prosper, and because they knew it is true, and they knew satan is under their feet, with no doubt.   The enemies' power will be taken away and given to the Brethren in full while on Earth.   While writing this down, the following came to me:  "I have a perfect purpose for the circumstances that have been happening with the Brethren in the Middle East. I Am teaching them many things and there is a great witness of My Truth through all of this. (I felt this witness was not just the Brethren but also their enemies and others seeing and knowing about it.)  Soon, great Faith will be poured out and manifested through them, and they will be strong in Spirit and My Word will be manifested and applied, and there will be greater miracles and power than you all expect."      Vision of Brethren Going To Be With Jesus  Anonymous 7/27/23  I saw a part of Heaven, and there were fields, and the grass was greener than any green in the physical. Everything else however, was like gold but in different colors, and it was all light.   Jesus was standing there looking behind me, and His giant arms were stretched out wide so welcoming and as if waiting for a hug.   I turned behind me, and saw numerous people; women, children and many men walking towards Jesus. They were looking around in extreme awe and joy and their skin and form were perfect, no blemishes or anything, they were perfect and whole.   There was no more evil, no more curse or suffering, only joy. They knew they were home. They were only fully Jesus now and they were greeted and welcomed, and Jesus was the most joyful that they were now there with Him, one with and in Him. It was as if Jesus had waited forever for that moment of them coming to Him. It felt as if Jesus' heart towards them all, "good and faithful servants". But they were each so unique and special and Jesus needed each of them and that each individual was so greatly treasured and precious and loved and needed to be with Him.   I then felt they are all one in Christ now and all our Brethren but Jesus, and the Father the most, are awaiting for us to be 100% reunited with them.      Enemies Turning to Jesus   Anonymous 7/30/23   As I was in a state of being half awake and half asleep when I saw a man who was one of the leaders of the false Christian killers in the Middle East. This man was very influential, and everyone looked to him, and he had zeal for the “Christianity” he believed in, but he was ruthless.   I saw God open his eyes to see the Truth of the Word and he truly repented for all the evil he had done, and God completely changed him. He was sharing the Truth with the others that looked up to him in the false Christianity religion and some were so awed and shocked at this man's big change, and I knew they would see The Real Truth too.   I saw there were others who were so angry and filled with such hatred, but by God changing this leader, he became an incredible witness to all those who were under him and looked up to him.   I knew that this was going to happen. It was so awesome and amazing to see. I was then reminded of Saul/Paul and how Jesus woke him up to the Truth. He had killed many followers of Jesus, just like this man had and that he will come to the Truth too.

Wenn es nach Schweden ginge, so wäre das Land längst in der NATO. Denn seit Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine haben die Sorgen um die eigenen Staatsgrenzen stark zugenommen. 14 Monate hatte die Türkei diesen Wunsch blockiert, bis Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan kurz vor dem Gipfel in Vilnius sein "Go" für Schweden gab. Wenn alles rund läuft, könnte das Land im Herbst offiziell Mitglied des westlichen Militärbündnisses werden.Doch der Zeitplan ist ambitioniert, denn zunächst muss das türkische Parlament noch das Beitrittsprotokoll ratifizieren. Die ehemalige NATO-Strategin Stefanie Babst beobachtet diesen Prozess gespannt: "Ich glaube das alles erst, wenn es in trockenen Tüchern ist", sagt Babst im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit". Wenn die Abstimmung tatsächlich erst im Oktober erfolgen sollte, "dann läuft da noch sehr viel Wasser durch den Bosporus", so Babst in der neuen Folge.Außerdem warnt die Sicherheitsexpertin davor, dass es mit Ungarn einen zweiten Staat gibt, dessen Zustimmung noch erfolgen muss. Das Land sei energiepolitisch, wirtschaftlich und auch im Geiste ein enger Partner Russlands. Wenige Tage vor dem Gipfel erst habe der ungarische Ministerpräsident Viktor Orbán gesagt, dass er nach wie vor große Stücke auf Präsident Putin halte, erinnert Stefanie Babst.Wie mächtig sind Putins "Freunde" in der NATO? Werden sie Schwedens Weg in die NATO verzögern? Und drohen nach dem schwedischen Beitritt womöglich Machtspiele mit Russland im arktischen Eis? Die vierte und letzte Folge des NATO-Spezials wagt einen Blick in die Zukunft des westlichen Militärbündnisses und beleuchtet auch die Beziehungen zu China.Host Mary Abdelaziz-Ditzow diskutiert mit der Strategie-Expertin und Buchautorin Stefanie Babst, die über zwei Jahrzehnte in verschiedenen Führungspositionen im Internationalen Stab der NATO in Brüssel tätig war.Schreiben Sie Ihre Fragen, Kritik und Anmerkungen gern an www@n-tv.deUnsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://datenschutz.ad-alliance.de/podcast.html Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

It looks like Turkey is trying to pack as much as it can into the agenda of the crucial NATO Summit in Vilnius later this month. Aside from Turkey's veto over Sweden's NATO membership, Ankara has also put a freeze on NATO's new operational maps by raising questions about the naming of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus straits in the new operational maps, and taking issue with the reference of the Republic of Cyprus in the plans as well. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini's diplomatic and defense editor, joins Thanos Davelis to break down why Ankara has derailed NATO regional procedures, and look at why this matters.Read the latest by Vassilis Nedos on this issue:Ankara derails NATO regional proceduresUS proposal to break NATO map deadlockWait-and-see mood in Athens over TurkeyYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkish games in the StraitsMitsotakis Steps Up Reforms to Send Greek Crisis to HistoryTurkey says Quran burning in Sweden raises questions about its reliability as a possible NATO memberTurkey's Erdogan says Sweden's NATO steps undermined by protests

Der Bosporus ist eine der wichtigsten Wasserstraßen der Welt. Die Meerenge verbindet das Marmarameer mit dem Schwarzen Meer. Für den Reichtum von Byzanz war der Bosporus von großer Bedeutung. Auch heute haben die Istanbuler eine sehr innige Beziehung zum Bosporus. Er teilt die Millionenmetropole in europäische und asiatische Stadtviertel. Von Claudia Steiner (BR 2018)

Erdogan ist der alte und neue Präsident der Türkei. Durch seinen Sieg in der Stichwahl ist er auch weitere fünf Jahre lang der starke Mann am Bosporus. Doch seine Herausforderungen sind zahlreich: innenpolitisch die schwächelnde Wirtschaft, die Folge der Erdbeben-Katastrophe und die Frage nach dem Umgang mit syrischen Flüchtlingen - außenpolitisch das Verhältnis zu Europa, die Verbindung zu Russland und der in die Ferne gerückte EU-Beitritt. In dieser Folge geht Moderatorin Christine Auerbach gemeinsam mit der Journalistin und Autorin Cigdem Akyol sowie dem ARD-Korrespondenten in Brüssel, Jakob Mayr, der Frage nach: Wohin steuert die Türkei?

Mehmet Ali Sanlikol and A Far Cry — A Gentleman of Istanbul (Crier) New Classical Tracks - Mehmet Ali Sanlikol by Mehmet Ali Sanlikol is a Turkish American composer and multi-instrumentalist who grew up surrounded by Western classical piano music. Then, he discovered jazz. He moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. And today, he's a professor at the New England Conservatory. His life-changing journey comes to light in his new recording with the chamber orchestra A Far Cry, A Gentleman of Istanbul. “I came back to my roots seven years after moving to Boston,” he says. “When I reconnected with my culture. I realized that I was self-alienated, self orientalism. It was a very important moment. It took about 10 years for me to come out of it. “What I mean by that is I started picking up several traditional musical instruments, studying them in addition to piano and singing professionally in traditional classical Turkish style. It was around 2011 when I relaunched my career as a composer and jazz musician. I had developed a more confident and unique voice as a composer.” How did you come up with A Gentleman of Istanbul? “It wasn't that difficult for me to think about a theme because right then, Donald Trump had come forward with his Muslim ban. It wasn't in response because almost everyone I knew was arguing. What surprised me was how many people out there looking to defend Muslims happened to be putting out images that were also stereotypes. “This just kept hitting me one after the other. They once said, ‘Come on, this is not right. This is reductionism.' Islamic geography is huge, from Morocco to Indonesia. It's a huge religion, and you're reducing that culture to just the mosque and the headscarf? “I said, ‘Let me show you cosmopolitanism within Islam.' I went to this fantastic Ottoman intellectual Muslim traveler from mid-17th-century Istanbul. His name is Evliya Çelebi. I thought if I picked several excerpts from his traveling, I might be able to show the kind of cosmopolitanism I rarely see. Would his ideas of Islam be accepted now? “I think those kinds of attitudes still exist. However, he was devout, but at the same time, he had a lot of room for all kinds of Sufi dervishes, too. That's the cosmopolitanism that I'm talking about. It's striking, especially considering this is a 17th-century travelogue.” How have you created music that blends traditional Turkish Western classical jazz? “First, I selected four different sections out of the travelogue. The first one was the clocks and bell towers of Vienna. That first movement is a little bit more classical, if you will. I am playing the oud as the featured soloist — the middle of the first movement follows the sonata form. In the middle of that, there is a fugue. There is a sense of Vienna that I found different ways to express. “In the second movement, where he talks about the death of an Ottoman sultana, he becomes melancholic, dramatic and Homeric. I thought about Istanbul and the kind of violet or purplish tones you see that get reflected on the Bosporus Strait right around sunset. I imagine crossing the Bosporus with a ferry at that hour and seeing the seagulls fly before the Hagia Sophia or Blue Mosque. I had these images, and then I thought, ‘That's jazz.' I said, ‘I'm going to score a jazz ballad.' “The third movement is the funniest passage, because he says he sees two Bektashi Sufi dervishes, an order from central Turkey. One is riding a rhinoceros, and the other is on an animal with horns by the ears. I was like, ‘What's going on?' It was so entertaining. When I go back to that, it puts a smile on my face, and it's fantastic. It's like a passage out of Star Wars, right?” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

There are authoritarians and there are tyrants, and sometimes they're the same person. But would a true tyrant put himself up to face the people in an election that could be free and maybe even fair?With Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan, we're going to find out the exact flavor of authoritarian he is on Sunday, May 14, and in the days immediately following. Erdogan has been in power in his nation of more than 80 million people for nearly two decades, and in some ways, he's brought it to near ruin, with economic policies based more on his gut than sound economic theory.He's also not much on newspapers, freedom of information, or freedom of speech.On the other hand, no one is going to doubt the importance of his country on the world stage. Erdogan has become something like the Bosporus itself, a gateway or meeting point between NATO and Moscow, and even Iran occasionally. That sounds good, but it hasn't made the West particularly happy. In one of the most recent examples, Turkey's veto is the only thing standing between Sweden and NATO membership. Erdogan says it has to do with Sweden harboring Kurdish terrorists, but, like buying S-400 missile batteries from Russia, it could just be a thumb in the eye of all concerned.Maybe the U.S. should just sell Turkey those F-16s it wants.The main question, however, is what Erdogan will do when all the votes are counted. If he loses, does he go away? If he wins, does he take away more freedoms from Turks and become the tyrant he always had the potential of becoming?To answer these questions, Angry Planet spoke with Steven Cook of the Council on Foreign relations.

Tuesday, 18 April 2023   After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. Acts 16:7   In the previous verse, Luke recorded that Paul and his company had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia. However, the Holy Spirit had stopped them from preaching in Asia. With that remembered, it now says, “After they had come to Mysia.”   The meaning is not that they came “into Mysia,” which was a province of Asia minor. Rather, the word kata is used. It signifies “over against.” They had come as far as (over against) Mysia. Mysia was a district in northwest Anatolia that adjoined the Sea of Marmara on the north and the Aegean Sea to the west.   From this point in their journey, it then says that “they tried to go into Bithynia.” Bithynia was a region, a kingdom, and a Roman province also located in the northwest area of Asia Minor. It bordered the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus, and the Black Sea. Mysia was to its southwest. The men attempted to go into this region, “but the Spirit did not permit them.”   In the previous commentary, various suggestions of what this meant were given. This does not appear to be an active manifestation of God, such as when the Egyptians were actively hindered from coming near Israel by the pillar of cloud as those fleeing passed through the Red Sea.   Rather, what seems likely is that they simply were unable to successfully travel through this area for some unknown reason. They were hindered in their travels and took it as a sign from God that it was not His intention for them to go into this area yet. Rather, there were other areas He would have them evangelize first. This appears certain from the contents of verse 16:9.   As a side note, some manuscripts say, “the Spirit of Jesus” rather than “the Spirit.” If that is the true original, then it is a unique phrase, found only here in Scripture. If it is not original, it may have come from a margin note that later found its way into those manuscripts. Such a rare phrase is not unheard of. For example, the phrases “the Spirit of Christ,” “the Spirit of His Son,” and “the Spirit of Jesus Christ” are also seen in the New Testament.   The inclusion of the name of Jesus, if a later insertion, may have come about to avoid anyone thinking, “These men were hindered by an evil spirit.” To clarify the matter, a scribe may have made an insertion with the name Jesus which was later assumed to be part of the original. As always, such things should not cause the reader to assume that we have a fallible word. Rather, it should encourage us to contemplate the matter and think about why such things have come about.   Life application: To understand the difficulty of accurately translating a verse from the original to English, or how an insertion for clarity could later be thought of as original, we can take a very simple sentence from the Bible, Genesis 1:1, and make a comparison of a few translations. First, the original says –   b'reshit bara Elohim eth ha'shamayim v'eth ha'arets   a direct translation would be –   “In beginning created Elohim the heavens and the earth.”   Note that the two uses of eth in the Hebrew are not translatable. Rather, the word is an untranslatable mark of the accusative case, being generally used to point out more definitely the object of a verb or preposition.    A few translations of this verse are –   In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (KJV) In the beginning, God created the universe. (ISV) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (NIV) In the beginning God created heaven, and earth. (Douay-Rheims) In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth, (LSV) In the beginning God (Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth. (Amplified) In the beginning God formed the heavens and the earth. (SLT)   These are but a few of the variations of this verse. Notice how the KJV says “heaven” instead of “heavens.” Later, they will translate the exact same word as “the air” (Genesis 1:26, etc.), “the heavens” (Genesis 2:1, etc.), or some other variant. Being a plural word, their translation is wrong in Genesis 1:1. Further, the word “the” before beginning is not in the Hebrew and should be italicized as is normal with that translation for inserted words.   The word elohim at times means “gods” as in something other than the true God. Thus, the Amplified Bible both translates the word and includes it in parenthesis for clarity. It also explains the meaning of the word bara as an act of creation ex nihilo.   The SLT says “formed” without any explanation. Therefore, one might assume that the matter already existed, and God simply formed the universe from that preexisting matter. But another word, yatsar, is used to describe such a process, such as in the forming of man from the dust.   By looking over the differences in such translations, one can learn quite a bit about what is going on in the minds of the translators. But remember, this is a very simple sentence. Imagine how varied translations can be in longer or more complicated verses! Don't rush into judging translations until you have studied and thought through what is going on.   The study of Scripture is something that we can and should spend our whole lives pursuing. Be pleased to spend your time wisely and consider what God is telling us in this precious word! Study! Consider! Seek out! There is so much treasure to be found here.   Thank You, O God, for the wonderful word You have given us. And thank You for those who have taken the time to translate it so that we can have a sense of what the original languages are telling us. Help us to consider this word all our days, pondering its secrets and learning from its truths. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.  

All the psyops and mind wars have the goal of conforming people and keeping them in check. Fear of the unknown drives us all. Group comfort and how it's used against us. A sense of identity and other courage tools. Burden sharing and standing up to pressure. Scared means no inner substance. Groups like the GOP are used to control us. Money is what people serve. 2020 was all about it. The Mayor has seen it all. FBI documents that we demand. Assange pardon was ignored. Switching media so the people are the employer. FOIA instructions to help Assange. When the EU cashes in. Turkey, NATO and earthquakes from Hell. Charity infiltration and assassination plans? Putin eyes the Bosporus. Dress in red for the take down. The plastic Don. The 40k view is important. Give the children a balloon. Separating from the group think is the hardest thing of all. Trust in yourself and have more than just belief in His guidance. What we all need now is super faith. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Mutmaßliche Bestechlichkeit, Geldwäsche und versuchte Einflussnahme auf politische Entscheidungen – die Liste der Vorwürfe im Korruptionsskandal des EU-Parlaments ist lang. Vier Beschuldigte kamen am Sonntag per Haftbefehl in Untersuchungshaft – darunter nach Medienberichten auch die 44-jährige Parlamentsvizepräsidentin Eva Kaili. Der Politikwissenschaftler Bernd Hüttemann ist Vorstandmitglied bei Transparency International, er sagt im Podcast: In vielerlei Hinsicht ist das EU-Parlament Vorbild in Sachen Transparenz. Doch es mangele an der Umsetzung bestehender Regeln. Als Reaktion auf den Angriffskrieg in der Ukraine gilt ein weitreichendes Embargo auf russisches Öl. ZEIT-Wirtschaftsredakteur Thomas Fischermann stellt im Podcast eine Branche vor, die überwacht, ob diese und andere Sanktionen auch tatsächlich eingehalten werden. Er erzählt von einem hochtechnologischen Katz-und-Maus-Spiel auf hoher See: von Schiffen, die ihre Routen verschleiern und Unternehmen, die sie in detektivischer Kleinstarbeit aus der Ferne jagen. Und sonst so? Ein Mädchen aus Los Angeles hat eine unbefristete Einhorn-Lizenz erhalten.

Over a decade after the abandonment of a pipeline project designed to take Russian crude through Bulgarian territory to Greece, Athens and Sophia are now reviving the project - this time without Moscow's participation. Talks are centered on reversing the direction of the original pipeline, instead bringing oil from Alexandroupoli on the Aegean coast to Bulgaria and possibly Romania. John Psaropoulos, an independent journalist based in Athens and Al Jazeera's southeast Europe correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to look at this latest energy project that could see Greece's geopolitical status elevated even further. Read John Psaropoulos' latest reports here: Greece, Bulgaria discuss oil pipeline bypassing Bosphorus StraitUkraine war will make renewables top electricity source: IEAYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Bypassing the BosporusAnkara renews invasion threatsTurkey issues new threat against Greece over Aegean islandsNDAA warns against unauthorized territorial overflights
