What happens when we take our religious freedom for granted? In this deeply reflective episode, we explore the privilege of worshipping Christ without fear in America – a luxury Christians in Nigeria, Syria, Iran, North Korea, and China don't share. This freedom wasn't free; it was purchased with the blood and sacrifice of countless Americans throughout history.The conversation takes an introspective turn as we examine our modern priorities. While many of us can recite every lyric from our favorite artists or statistics about sports teams, few can name a single Medal of Honor recipient or articulate the sacrifices made to secure our freedoms. Through powerful stories of Medal of Honor recipients like John Lewis Barkley, who single-handedly stopped two enemy counterattacks in World War I, and John Andrew Barnes III, who sacrificed his life by throwing himself on a grenade in Vietnam to save his wounded comrades, we're confronted with the question: What do we truly value as Americans?Historical segments from Fox's Book of Martyrs reveal disturbing accounts of persecution carried out in the name of religion, including horrific torture methods used during the Inquisition. These serve as sobering reminders of what happens when religious authority becomes corrupted by power. Meanwhile, Mercy Otis Warren's account of the Boston Tea Party illustrates how principled resistance to tyranny shaped our nation's founding.As we face today's cultural division, the message becomes clear: America's only hope lies in returning to God, acknowledging our sins individually and nationally, and embracing the redemptive power of Christ. Without this spiritual foundation, no political solution can address the fundamental issues plaguing our society. Our experiment in liberty began with acknowledgment of divine Providence – its continuation depends on rediscovering this essential truth.Subscribe now to join our growing community of listeners passionate about preserving America's spiritual heritage and applying timeless principles to today's challenges.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
Protesting is part of the First Amendment rights we have as Americans. They can be positive, such as the Boston Tea Party, the Civil Rights Movement or the March for Life. Or, they can be negative such as Pride parades and the BLM riots of 2020. How should Christians think through protests? Using No Kings as an example, Kenna and Jenna discuss God's justice, the command to be self-controlled and investigating the purpose of a protest before joining in.… Continue Reading

On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and staunch anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on the most famous horse ride in American history. A century later it inspired the poem and legend of "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." But the story is deeper and richer than we've all assumed. Acclaimed writer and editor Kostya Kennedy, through extraordinary and extensive research, has uncovered new and enlightening information on that amazing - including the women who were involved and African Americans in Boston - event presented now in his new book, THE RIDE: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America (St. Martin's Press, On Sale Date 3/25/25, $30.00). Revere was not the only rider on the night of April 18, 1775, but he was by far the most critical. The Patriots best and most trusted "express rider" he had already completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years following - as the American Revolution transitioned from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding tales. In THE RIDE, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of Revere's ride, informed by fresh primary and secondary research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. What he found are never before, or rarely, discussed events, before and after the ride, including: *On the night of the ride, Paul Revere was already the go-to rider for the revolution, called upon to make the most critical rides: in December 1773 he rode hundreds of miles south to New York and Philadelphia to deliver news of The Boston Tea Party.*Revere never said, "The British are coming!" during the ride.*On the night of the ride, Revere rode on a borrowed horse that was then taken from him by British officers; Revere never saw the horse again.*The "sea," in "one if by land, two if by sea," refers to the Charles River.*Revere intentionally did not carry his pistol on the night of the ride, which may have saved his life.*At the start of the ride, Revere was rowed quietly over the Charles River from Boston to Charlestown, along the way eluding lookouts stationed on a British warship.*Other riders galloped through the countryside that night carrying the alarm and nearly all of them were set in motion by Revere's alarm.*Only one other rider departed from Boston, William Dawes, who left over land across Boston Neck; as Dawes got past British guards he pretended he was a drunk country bumpkin. Kennedy's work shows the Revere ride to be vastly more complex than is usually portrayed. It was a coordinated ride of some 40 men that included near-disasters, capture by British forces, and ultimately success. While Paul Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, the author reveals the myriad other men - and women! - who proved crucial to the events that helped set in motion what would lead to America's independence. Thrillingly written in a dramatic heart-stopping narrative, THE RIDE re-tells the essential American story of our nation's awakening for a new generation of readers.

I love American history, and finding tidbits of unknown or misunderstood/inaccurate ideas are some of my favorite ones to discover. Put it all in a boo about spies during the War for Independence? SOLD! Listen in to see what you'll find in Megan Soja's Secrets of the Revolution. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. In this episode we had a great conversation about what other realities of life were like during the colonial era and what really happened during the Boston Tea Party. Secrets of the Revolution by Megan Soja The cause of liberty brought them together. Will it also tear them apart? Hannah Pierce is determined to keep her father‘s apothecary shop running, despite his failing health, the heavy burden of her mother's recent death, and the mysterious disappearance of her brother. She'll do whatever it takes to preserve her family's legacy, including joining a dangerous ring of patriot spies...and falling for a revolutionary printer with a brave heart. William Abbott always keeps his promises. He vowed long ago to never abandon those in need like his father did. So when new British acts of Parliament threaten Boston and endanger his family, he throws himself into serving the Patriot cause, using his position at the printing office to gather and spread intelligence. But when his clandestine role in the newly formed spy ring causes him to cross paths with the apothecary's beautiful daughter, he may find himself fighting for more than the cause. As tensions in Boston reach a breaking point, Will and Hannah find their bond deepening even as the noose tightens around the spy ring. When promises and determination are not enough to protect the ones they love, they'll need to trust God if they are to survive what is to come.

De derde woensdag in mei is Verantwoordingsdag. President Pieter Duisenberg van de Algemene Rekenkamer presenteert dan zijn onderzoek naar het regeringsbeleid van het afgelopen jaar. "Ja, dat is dus ook de dag van de belastingbetalers, omdat die dan inzicht krijgen wat ministers doen met hun geld”, zegt hij. In gesprek met Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger kraakt hij een reeks harde noten. Veel gaat naar behoren, de financiën en hun beheer zijn snel hersteld van de klappen uit de coronajaren. Toch noteert Duisenberg een ‘zorgelijke reeks' ernstige problemen; hij deelt zelfs 'rode kaarten' uit aan ministers.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Essentieel is hoe ministers én parlement degelijk beleid voeren aan de hand van heldere, serieuze uitgangspunten. Stel duidelijke doelen. Beloof niet wat je niet aankunt. Wees duidelijk en eerlijk over de resultaten.Duisenberg noemt het regeerprogramma van het kabinet-Schoof wat betreft zulke beginselen van goed bestuur ‘teleurstellend'. Doelen, resultaten en instrumenten zijn vaag of ontbreken soms geheel. Zo zijn de ramingen voor het beleid van Asiel en Migratie al zo'n twintig jaar een rommelpot. Voortdurend moet met noodmaatregelen bijgesprongen worden en dat is erg duur, inefficiënt en zet mensen soms letterlijk in de kou. Als het kabinet dit terrein zo belangrijk acht, zou juist hier realistisch ramen en plannen voorop moeten staan. Ook de enorme bezuiniging van 22% op de uitgaven voor rijksambtenaren is wel erg ondoorzichtig. Duisenberg constateert dat het aantal ambtenaren alleen maar stijgt, ook de inhuur van externen, en dat een fundamentele aanpak alleen lukt als overheidstaken veel eenvoudiger ingericht worden. "Begin dan meteen met de WIA." Hiermee dreigen miljarden aan gaten in de kabinetsplannen. "Dat zijn uitgestelde teleurstellingen die je nu al ziet aankomen. Dan moet je bijsturen en corrigeren." Zo stelt het kabinet dat Nederland ‘de top van de mobiliteit wil zijn'. Duisenberg: "Wat is dat, de top? Als je dat niet concreet maakt en de plannen niet kunt financieren, is dat geen serieus beleidsdoel." Zeker niet als tegelijkertijd bruggen op instorten staan. Bovendien blijven zaken liggen die juist veel kunnen opleveren. Het saneren van ondoelmatige fiscale regelingen kan 30 miljard euro besparen. "Stoppen tenzij. Dat is dan de stelregel voor effectief beleid." Duisenberg stelt vast dat het kabinet hier aanvankelijk slechts 250 miljoen wilde besparen en inmiddels nog minder. “Dat schiet niet op.”Bij Defensie zijn de uitdagingen enorm. "Kwetsbaar" zegt Duisenberg eufemistisch. Niet alleen blijkt de beveiliging er nog steeds volstrekt niet op orde - zelfs bij de cruciale kabels voor cyberverkeer - ook blijft veel op de plank liggen of onuitgevoerd. De aangekondigde expansie van uitgaven roept vooral kopzorgen op. Duisenberg maant dat men hier ‘écht realistisch ramen moet'; ook met de NAVO-partners samen zodat niet ieder land voor zich maar aanrommelt. Beloven wat je helemaal niet aan kunt, is - zeker hier - funest. En dan blijkt ook nog dat Nederland de afspraak om 2 procent van het bnp aan defensie te besteden alleen op papier blijkt te halen. De Rekenkamer ontdekte verschil tussen de veel te positieve raming bij Financiën vergeleken met het behaalde resultaat op Defensie. Dit wegmoffelen wekt weinig vertrouwen in aanloop naar de NAVO-top in Den Haag. Geen wonder dat de Rekenkamer in NAVO en in EU-verband nadrukkelijk actief wordt. Duisenberg vertelt over een alliantie met de Duitsers, Tsjechen en Slovenen om verantwoording van defensie-uitgaven beter te borgen.Ook vertelt hij over een fors conflict met minister Eelco Heinen (Financiën) over hoe Nederland zijn nationale balans formuleert en daar toezicht op houdt. Nederland is hier 'een Asterix-dorpje' in Europa.Juist omdat na de bankencrisis, de coronacrisis en de energiecrisis de situatie weer meer op orde is gekomen, is de Rekenkamer streng. Ook naar de Tweede Kamer. Zij moet haar budgetrecht actiever hanteren, bijvoorbeeld door de speciale controle-aanpak bij 'grote projecten' veel vaker en stevig in te zetten. "Doen wat je belooft," zegt Pieter Duisenberg.***Verder luisteren504 - Een jaar HOOP, LEF EN TROTS501 - Den Haag zonder Omtzigt en een Voorjaarsnota zonder beleid493 - Het belastingkaartenhuis wankelt476 – Trump II en de gevolgen voor Europa en de NAVO466 - Behandeling Onderwijsbegroting werd parcours vol struikelpartijen en miskleunen426 - Een doodgewoon meerderheidskabinet met een allesbepalende financiële plaat423 – Eerst zien, dan geloven – Rekenkamerpresident Pieter Duisenberg over de controle op de rijksuitgaven410 - De Pirouette van Putters382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party en de rechtsbescherming van belastingbetalers in Nederland349 - Woensdag gehaktdag: de regering zakt door het ijs, waarschuwen Rekenkamer en Raad van State291 – De dubbele jaren van staatssecretaris Marnix van Rij275 - Nina Olson: Waarom Nederland net als de VS een Taxpayer Advocate moet krijgen268 - En hoe moet het dan met Prinsjesdag?

Samuel Adams was called “the most elegant writer, the most sagacious politician, and celebrated patriot” by John Adams, his second cousin, and was applauded by other colleagues such as Thomas Jefferson. A mastermind behind the Boston Tea Party who helped mobilize the colonies to revolution, he is nonetheless an often overlooked figure amongst the Founding Fathers. Historian Stacy Schiff examines his transformation from the listless, failing son of a wealthy family into the tireless, silver-tongued revolutionary who rallied the likes of John Hancock and John Adams behind him. Recorded on November 28, 2023
The Boston Tea Party was one of the most iconic events leading up to the American Revolution. Join us today, by clicking on the picture below, as we visit the Boston Tea Party Museum in Boston, Massachusetts and you will see the only known Tea Chest to have been part of that historic event. Revolutionary War Rarities is the podcast from The Sons of the American Revolution.
On a cold December night in 1773, a group of defiant American colonists disguised themselves as Mohawk warriors, crept aboard British ships, and dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. Their message? No taxation without representation!This bold act of protest against British rule wasn't just about tea—it was a spark that ignited the American Revolution. Furious over unfair taxes and British control, these rebels risked everything to send a message that would echo through history.But what happened next? How did this single act of defiance lead to war? Dive into the gripping story of rebellion, resistance, and revolution—because the Boston Tea Party was just the beginning.Sources:https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/boston-tea-party#why-did-the-boston-tea-party-happenhttps://www.britannica.com/event/Boston-Tea-Partyhttps://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/boston-tea-party/https://www.bostonteapartyship.com/boston-tea-party-factshttps://dp.la/primary-source-sets/the-boston-tea-partyhttps://www.masshist.org/revolution/teaparty.php Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Social movements – and the protests they give rise to – have happened on American soil since before the country's establishment as an independent nation. On Dec. 16, 1773, American colonists demonstrated their dissatisfaction with British tax policies by dressing in disguise and dumping 342 chests – around 92,000 pounds – of valuable tea into Boston Harbor. Originally known as “the Destruction of the Tea,” the event was later nicknamed “the Boston Tea Party.” In this century, we've seen part of that moniker repurposed by the tea party movement, a group interested in lower taxes and decreased government spending who staged protests in over 750 U.S. cities on April 15, 2009 – Tax Day. Social injustices, environmental issues and political concerns are just a few of myriad reasons people have organized protests over the course of history. David S. Meyer, UC Irvine professor of sociology, political science, and urban planning and public policy, is one of the nation's top scholars on social movements. In this episode of The UC Irvine Podcast, Meyer leans on years of study to put today's realities into historical perspective, analyze the current state of polarization and share what he's learned about how action can spark change. “Downpour,” the music for this episode, was provided by Patiño via the audio library in YouTube Studio.
In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas engages historian John Ferling in a deep exploration of the American Revolution, emphasizing its global implications and the international dynamics that shaped the conflict. Ferling discusses his extensive research, the surprising elements he uncovered, and the various perspectives from both American and British sides. The conversation also delves into the role of France in the revolution, the impact of propaganda, and the reasons behind Britain's eventual defeat. Links Shots Heard Around the World Book Link (Amazon) Shots Heart Around the World Book Link (Bookshop.org) John Ferling's Website Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The American Revolution was a global conflict involving multiple powers. John Ferling's career as a historian began with a transformative college course. Research revealed significant internal dissent in Britain during the war. The Boston Tea Party marked a turning point in British-American relations. Colonial unity was underestimated by British leaders. The role of propaganda was crucial in shaping public opinion on both sides. France's secret aid was motivated by a desire for revenge against Britain. The French alliance was solidified after the American victory at Saratoga. The British military strategy was hampered by logistical challenges. Ultimately, Britain's resources were insufficient to sustain a global war. Soundbites "The American Revolution wasn't just fought in North America—there was fighting in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, on the subcontinent. It really was a global war and a very long war... America's longest war until the war in Vietnam." - John Ferling "I didn't realize that there was as much internal dissension and opposition to the war in Great Britain. By the time a couple of years had gone by, it began to appear as though this was a sinkhole that the British had gotten into... In a sense, it reminded me of the opposition to the war in Vietnam." - John Ferling "Even after the war began for more than a year, about 13-14 months after the war began, the majority of delegates in Congress still were in favor of reconciliation with Britain. They weren't pushing for independence." - John Ferling "The Boston Tea Party makes it sound like a lark, but the fact was that in today's currency, millions of dollars in private property had been destroyed. After that, the mood in England is really to get tough." - John Ferling "What surprised me about Lord North was that he's kind of like the proverbial man riding on the back of a tiger. He can't get off the tiger without being destroyed." - John Ferling "When you go to war, it's like opening the door into a dark room. You don't know what's in that room. And there's always some surprises." - John Ferling "The British underestimated just the size of America... It's a very large continent. And it was so large, in fact, that the Royal Navy, strongest Navy in the world at the time, really could not maintain the embargo that it tried to impose on American trade." - John Ferling "The French believed that the real source of British strength that had enabled Britain to win the Seven Years War was their possession of the American colonies... If the colonists would break away, become independent, then Britain would lose that source of wealth and France would be able to gain its revenge." - John Ferling Chapters 00:00 Exploring the American Revolution's Global Impact 05:28 John Ferling's Journey as a Historian 10:18 Research Insights and Surprises 16:22 The Importance of Multiple Perspectives 18:22 Inevitability of the American Revolution 25:53 Points of No Return in the Conflict 29:45 The British Response to Colonial Trade 31:21 Opposition to the War in Britain 36:15 Underestimating American Resistance 42:28 The Role of Propaganda in the War 45:41 France's Secret Aid to the Americans 52:56 France's Open Support for the Revolution 56:50 Why Britain Lost the War 01:03:00 anglotopia-podcast-outro.mp4 Video Version

I think it might be time for another Boston Tea Party. What do you think? Back in the day, our colonist forefathers were peeved that the Brits imposed a tax on them. We didn't even have representation in their government. So what did they do? They dumped tea off the boats and into the Boston harbor. And this wasn't a small event. They disposed of 92,000 pounds (roughly 46 tons) of tea. More than 240 chests full of tea were smashed open with axes and spilled into the water. In today's money, that racked up more than $1,700,000 dollars of damage. This was all over a 3 cent tax per pound on tea. Yes , three cents. And it wasn't considered high for the time. And get this, it wasn't even a new tax. Parliament had introduced it in 1767 as part of the larger “Townshend Revenue Acts.” This imposed tariffs on colonial purchases of molasses, sugar, tea, glass, and some other products. All were canceled after colonial protest — yet the tea tax remained in place. Here's my question: when are Americans going to start dumping imported goods in the harbor? Do you think that the colonists would be putting on a lobster uniform and saluting the King saying we must do as our master says? No, but somehow MAGA - who supposedly hates taxes and big government - are donning a red cap and bending the knee to a man who thinks he's a king and ready and willing to pay 145% in tariffs on Chinese goods. They'll even defend how he tanked the market - because if you're not enjoying watching your 401k circle drain then are you even American?

Learn the real story of Lexington & Concord on April 19, 1775 and the Shot Heard 'Round the World — which changed America and the world forever.Well before the Declaration of Independence, the British had determined that they would end Americans' resistance to British tyranny by crushing them militarily.The British believed that they would easily cower the Americans into submission with a decisive military strike and the arrest of some of the leaders of the resistance, especially John Hancock and Samuel Adams.Follow the Patriots and the British during the lead up to the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and experience the battles first hand. Explore what really happened on Paul Revere's ride, and discover the unsung heroes Dr. Joseph Warren, William Dawes, and others.The British confrontation at Lexington sparked the Shot Heard ‘Round the World and ended in a small massacre of Americans.The British confrontation in Concord was eventually driven off, and the British were lucky to escape with their lives over a long and harrowing retreat. They suffered many casualties and inflicted barbaric attacks on Americans.The colonies were not cowed into submission but rallied to military action and to militarily surround British occupied Boston.Although it would take more than a year for Americans to make the final break with the English Empire with the Declaration of Independence, the stage was set, and over a decade of political and economic resistance to English oppression transfigured into open warfare.Highlights include the Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Acts a/k/a Coercive Acts, King George III, Lord Dartmouth a/k/a William Ledge, House of Commons, Earl of Sandwich a/k/a/ John Montagu, John Pitcairn, General Thomas Gage, Boston Port Act (1774), Green Dragon Tavern, colonial intelligence committees, John Hancock, Dr. Joseph Warren, Benjamin Church, Samuel Adams, Lexington Massachusetts, Concord Massachusetts, Paul Revere, “one if by land and two if by sea” lantern warning signal by Paul Revere, North Church, John Crozie, Cambridge Massachusetts, Sons of Liberty, William Dawes, Reverend Jonas Clark, Charlestown Neck, Captain John Parker, Sylanus Wood, Robert Douglass, Major Mitchel, Paul Revere & William Dawes Midnight Ride, April 19 1775, Buckman Tavern, Shot Heard ‘Round the World, Lieutenant John Barker, King's Own Royal Regiment of Lancaster, Dr. Samuel Prescott, General John Palmer, Phillip's Farm, Israel Bissel, colonial militia, Colonel James Barrett, Concord River, redcoats, minutemen, John Barker, Lieutenant Frederick MacKenzie, “King Hancock forever!”, Brigadier General Earl Percy, Reverend Jonas Clark, John E.

Wer am 19.4.1775 bei Lexington tatsächlich den ersten Schuss abgab, ist bis heute ungewiss. Fest steht: Es war der Startschuss zum Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg. Von Murat Kayi.
Den amerikanska revolutionen var mer än bara en kamp om representation och frihet. I Boston var flera av de ledande revolutionärerna rika handelsmän som såg sina affärsintressen hotade av brittiska tullar. I Philadelphia och New York växte motståndsnätverk fram som försvarade rätten till fri handel.Under 1700-talet var dessa tre städer sammanlänkade genom ett livligt nätverk av både laglig handel och en omfattande smuggling. Tillsammans utgjorde de ett slags ekonomiskt kluster som agerade mer som rivaler än lydiga provinser under London. Genom smuggling och handelsförbindelser med franska, portugisiska och nederländska hamnar byggde de upp ett parallellt system som effektivt kringgick brittiska handelshinder.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med ekonomhistorikern Jeremy Land om de ekonomiska orsakerna bakom den amerikanska revolutionen. Han är aktuell med boken Colonial Ports, Global Trade, and the Roots of the American Revolution (1700–1776).När vi tänker på den amerikanska revolutionen är det ofta dramatiska scener som dyker upp: Boston Tea Party, vapenskrammel vid Lexington och Concord, rop om frihet och självständighet. Men kampen för ekonomisk frihet från kolonialmakten Storbritannien föregick den politiska självständigheten.Storbritannien försökte tygla denna utveckling med lagar och tullar, men saknade resurser för att få full kontroll. Tulltjänstemän var få och ofta korrumperade, och lokala handelsmän hade både pengar och makt att göra motstånd. Denna relativa ekonomiska frihet ledde till en form av mental och praktisk självständighet långt innan självständighetsförklaringen skrevs. Boston, New York och Philadelphia började agera som ekonomiska aktörer med egna intressen – inte som kuggar i ett imperium.När britterna på 1760-talet skärpte tonen med skatter som Stamp Act och Townshend Acts utbröt inte bara vrede – utan också organiserat motstånd. Bojkotter, smuggling och politisk mobilisering blev vardag. Det var handelsmännen, de ekonomiska motorerna i kolonierna, som ofta stod i spetsen för revolutionen.Det är i skärningspunkten mellan ekonomi och politik som den amerikanska revolutionen verkligen tar form. De koloniala hamnarna var inte bara strategiska punkter på en karta – de var hjärtat i en ekonomisk förändring som gjorde revolutionen oundviklig.Det var köpmännen i hamnstäderna som i praktiken började skriva självständighetens förhistoria. Långt innan de första skotten avlossades i Lexington, pågick en annan kamp – tystare, men minst lika avgörande – i hamnmagasin, på handelsfartyg och i de koloniala gatornas skuggor.Bild: Förstörelsen av teet i Bostons hamn, en ikonisk litografi från 1846 av Nathaniel Currier; uttrycket "Boston Tea Party" hade ännu inte blivit vedertaget.

On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and staunch anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on the most famous horse ride in American history. A century later it inspired the poem and legend of "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." But the story is deeper and richer than we've all assumed. Acclaimed writer and editor Kostya Kennedy, through extraordinary and extensive research, has uncovered new and enlightening information on that amazing - including the women who were involved and African Americans in Boston - event presented now in his new book, THE RIDE: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America (St. Martin's Press, On Sale Date 3/25/25, $30.00). Revere was not the only rider on the night of April 18, 1775, but he was by far the most critical. The Patriots best and most trusted "express rider" he had already completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years following - as the American Revolution transitioned from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding tales. In THE RIDE, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of Revere's ride, informed by fresh primary and secondary research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. What he found are never before, or rarely, discussed events, before and after the ride, including: *On the night of the ride, Paul Revere was already the go-to rider for the revolution, called upon to make the most critical rides: in December 1773 he rode hundreds of miles south to New York and Philadelphia to deliver news of The Boston Tea Party.*Revere never said, "The British are coming!" during the ride.*On the night of the ride, Revere rode on a borrowed horse that was then taken from him by British officers; Revere never saw the horse again.*The "sea," in "one if by land, two if by sea," refers to the Charles River.*Revere intentionally did not carry his pistol on the night of the ride, which may have saved his life.*At the start of the ride, Revere was rowed quietly over the Charles River from Boston to Charlestown, along the way eluding lookouts stationed on a British warship.*Other riders galloped through the countryside that night carrying the alarm and nearly all of them were set in motion by Revere's alarm.*Only one other rider departed from Boston, William Dawes, who left over land across Boston Neck; as Dawes got past British guards he pretended he was a drunk country bumpkin. Kennedy's work shows the Revere ride to be vastly more complex than is usually portrayed. It was a coordinated ride of some 40 men that included near-disasters, capture by British forces, and ultimately success. While Paul Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, the author reveals the myriad other men - and women! - who proved crucial to the events that helped set in motion what would lead to America's independence. Thrillingly written in a dramatic heart-stopping narrative, THE RIDE re-tells the essential American story of our nation's awakening for a new generation of readers.

Het kabinet-Schoof erfde niet alleen een voorspoedige economie met flinke belastinginkomsten, maar ook een reeks fiscale hoofdpijndossiers. Btw-gedoe, Box-3, kindertoeslagellende en nog veel meer. En de coalitie deed een lange rij beloften om lasten te verlichten en beloofde dat de Belastingdienst eenvoudiger en beter zou gaan functioneren.Kan dat allemaal tegelijk? En hoe dan? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met Djoeke Altena, politiek analist van Weekblad Fiscaal Recht en website TaxLive.

Elke poging om daarbinnen een kaart te repareren of te vervangen dreigt het wankele geheel te doen instorten. "Heel veel gaat goed, maar het risico bij aanpassingen en verbeteringen in dat kwetsbare systeem is door ICT-perikelen en personeelstekorten groot."Opeenvolgende bewindslieden beloofden beterschap. Staatssecretaris Eric Wiebes (VVD, 2014-2017) beschimpte ‘de rommelzolder' waar hij in moest werken. Maar hij verergerde de toestand door een onberaden ingreep in het fiscaal personeel. De ICT-problemen zorgen voor hardnekkig en langdurig achterstallig onderhoud, wat alles verlamt en kostbaar is. Bovendien kost dat veel inzet van knowhow die elders dan ontbreekt.Het coalitieakkoord 'Hoop, lef en trots' zorgde voor nog meer hoofdbrekens. Altena schetst hoe de btw-ingreep voor boeken. cultuur en sport een drama werd. Willekeur in het toch al complexe stelsel maakte de zaak onoverzichtelijk. "Het is nu een soort Catch 22 voor de recent aangetreden staatssecretaris Tjebbe van Oostenbruggen. Hij kan geen kant op. Alles wat hij nog doet, maakt de zaak politiek ellendiger." Zijn eigen partij, NSC, heeft vooral spijt dat men hem al eerder, onnadenkend, de mist in liet gaan. Pleegt het kabinet hier woordbreuk naar de 'constructieve oppositie' in de Tweede Kamer? In de Senaat zal niemand ze nog te hulp schieten. Het onderling wantrouwen maakt elke rationele oplossing blijkbaar onmogelijk, signaleert Djoeke Altena.Een langdurig hoofdpijndossier is 'Box-3'. Altena wijst erop dat dit miljoenen burgers treft, echt niet alleen maar rijke vermogenden. Hier lopen drie razend ingewikkelde problemen gedurig door elkaar heen. De Kamer neemt niet de tijd om die kluwen te ontwarren en verwart de zaak daardoor nog meer. Bovendien blokkeerde de PVV de jongste poging om de zaak te regelen. Ontploffingen daarover in de Kamer lieten een rokende puinhoop achter.Niettemin blijven fiscalisten dromen van een eenvoudiger fiscaal systeem. Alles op één bierviltje – zoals de nieuwe bondskanselier Friedrich Merz in zijn jonge jaren voorstelde - dat wil iedereen wel. In Den Haag ligt hiervoor een 'Bouwstenennotitie' klaar, met maar liefst 150 miljard euro aan ‘ondoelmatige en overbodige' regelingen die geschrapt kunnen worden.Waarom gebeurt dit dan niet? Djoeke Altena is hier streng voor Den Haag: " Het is een gebrek aan politieke moed. Ook deze coalitie is zozeer verdeeld, dat er niets van gaat komen."Het bewijst dat de fiscaliteit - anders dan vaak gedacht - geen primair technische zaak is, maar vaak heel ideologisch. "Het gaat immers om publiek geld - jaarlijks zo'n 400 miljard euro - hoe dat binnenkomt en waarvoor je het inzet. En dat is puur politiek."***Verder luisteren470 - Het kabinet bestaat niet, het is een virtuele machine466 - Behandeling Onderwijsbegroting werd parcours vol struikelpartijen en miskleunen463 - De eerste honderd dagen.

Donald Trump brengt niet alleen de geopolitiek in rep en roer. Hij provoceert ook binnenslands een revolutie in het overheidsapparaat. Elon Musk gaat met een kettingzaag door de instituties waar veel burgers en bedrijven afhankelijk van zijn; hij ontslaat ambtenaren zonder pardon en zonder duidelijke onderbouwing.Nina Olson voert een proces tegen Elon Musk en zijn DOGE, het Department of Goverment Efficiency. Dit doet zij namens haar eigen Centrum voor de Rechten van de Belastingbetaler, vakbonden van overheidspersoneel en een organisatie van het midden- en kleinbedrijf.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met haar over de strijd voor fundamentele burgerrechten, de ondermijning daarvan door Musk en DOGE en de chaos die nu dreigt in het Amerikaanse overheidsapparaat. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Als de eerste Taxpayer Advocate van Amerika (2001-2019) was Nina Olson meteen op haar qui vive toen Musk en DOGE van start gingen.Zonder een gedegen wettelijke grondslag brak DOGE in bij enkele van de meest gevoelige informatiesystemen, die honderden miljoenen burgers, bedrijven en organisaties in Amerika raken. Olson wijst op de databestanden van de Belastingdienst, sociale zekerheid en pensioenen, de ministeries van gezondheidszorg en arbeid en alle personeelsgegevens van individuele ambtenaren. "Alle financiële en persoonlijke gegevens van elke burger en elke organisatie die belasting betaalt zijn nu vogelvrij. De consequenties daarvan voor de privacy-rechten en burgerlijke vrijheden zijn ongekend”, zegt ze. “Dit is huiveringwekkend.”Olson wijst erop dat DOGE is ingericht als deel van het budgetbureau van het Witte Huis. “Er is geen formele basis in een wet die het Congres heeft aangenomen. Het is dus puur vanuit het formeel gezag van de president dat DOGE toegang opeist in de databestanden. De juristen van de regering bleken bij de start van onze zaak niet te kunnen melden wie de officiële chef van DOGE was en hoe de organisatie is opgebouwd." Zelfs voor een expert als Nina Olson was dit onthutsend. Pas na aandringen kreeg de rechter meer inzicht.Alle alarmbellen gingen af bij Olson en haar collega's. Precies die greep van het budgetbureau op de rest van de overheid bleek tijdens de geruchtmakende Watergate-affaire zeer problematisch. De toenmalige president Nixon liet van alles uitzoeken over mensen en organisaties op zijn ‘lijst van vijanden'.Het Congres heeft ingegrepen en wettelijke waarborgen doorgevoerd om elke burger tegen zulke privacy-schendingen te beschermen. DOGE voldoet volstrekt niet aan die waarborgen. De vaak jeugdige IT'ers die voor Musk aan de slag zijn kunnen zo bij elk denkbaar bedrijf of individu inbreken in persoonlijke gegevens. Nina Olson waarschuwt met concrete voorbeelden voor de effecten hiervan.Vermogensgegevens van Musks zakelijke concurrenten, data over politieke donaties door burgers en nog veel meer – ze zijn nu vogelvrij en kunnen worden misbruikt. Geen burger kan nog vertrouwen op de privacy van haar of zijn gegevens die in de burgerrechten is gegarandeerd.Nina Olson maakt zich grote zorgen over de logistieke en technologische gevolgen van gerommel in de datasystemen en bestanden. "Veel overheidsinstanties benutten computertalen die vaak al decennia oud zijn. Als je die niet beheerst is het risico levensgroot dat de computerbestanden van bijvoorbeeld de Belastingdienst onherstelbaar beschadigd raken."Deze ontwikkeling staat in schril contrast met de 'Taxpayer Bill of Rights' die door Nina Olson is bedacht en door de Belastingdienst is ingevoerd. Privacy en het recht op vertrouwelijkheid staan voor elke Amerikaan nu fundamenteel op het spel.Tijdens President Trumps speech tot het Congres op 4 maart 2025 bleek al dat hij geheel ongefundeerde DOGE-gegevens over fraude en slordigheden bij de pensioenen benutte, die het gevolg waren van ernstige fouten bij het ondeskundig hanteren van de databestanden. "Je kunt helemaal niet spreken van 'fraude, knoeiboel en foutief handelen' als je niet snapt hoe die systemen en hun dataverkeer überhaupt werken," benadrukt Olson. Naast de schade aan de overheidsgegevens - waarvan bijna elke burger en elk bedrijf afhankelijk is - dreigt het werk van DOGE ook onderdelen van het regeringsapparaat te ontmantelen als overbodig, geknoei of 'woke'. Ook op dit terrein heeft die organisatie geen enkele bevoegdheid, omdat wettelijk het Congres verantwoordelijk is.Vorige week bleek dat ministers in Trumps regering in verzet komen tegen de greep van DOGE. De president moest ingrijpen, maar zoals vaak sprak hij zichzelf tegen zodat nog steeds niemand weet waar hij aan toe is. Wel is duidelijk dat Olsons rechtszaak nu al impact heeft.In Nederland praat de Tweede Kamer over een variant van de 'Taxpayer Bill of Rights'. Nina Olson ziet in haar ervaringen met DOGE en de fundamentele gevaren voor de burgerrechten een extra aansporing om dit bij ons grondig te regelen. De kindertoeslagaffaire liet zien dat ook hier overheden niet onfeilbaar zijn en burgers kwetsbaar.***Verder luisteren275 - Nina Olson: Waarom Nederland net als de VS een Taxpayer Advocate moet krijgen382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party en de rechtsbescherming van belastingbetalers in Nederland445 - Chaos en onrecht in het sociale stelsel115 - Thomas Paine en De Rechten van de mens484 - Hoe Trump chaos veroorzaakt en de Europeanen in elkaars armen drijft481 - Donald Trumps nieuwe idool William McKinley, ‘de tarievenkoning'475 – Trumps rolmodel Andrew Jackson289 - Donald Trump als gevaar voor de democratie - Joe Biden en zijn strijd voor de ziel van Amerika226 - In het oog van de orkaan: Roel in 't Veld over wat er mis is met politiek en bestuur222 - Na de kindertoeslagaffaire.

Welcome to The Wandering Pilgrims, where history and faith intertwine to tell the stories of those who shaped our nation. Today, we delve into the life of Samuel Adams, often hailed as the father of the American Revolution. His journey is one of unwavering faith, relentless pursuit of liberty, and deep trust in God's sovereignty. Born on September 27, 1722, in Boston, Massachusetts, Samuel Adams was nurtured in a household that valued education and faith. His early education at home and Boston Latin School prepared him for Harvard, which he entered at the tender age of 14. Although he aspired to be a minister, his parents directed him toward business, apprenticing him under Thomas Cushing. Despite his parents' wishes, Adams' heart was set on serving the public. In 1756, he was elected as Boston's tax collector, a role that highlighted his empathy and integrity. His reluctance to force collections on the impoverished spoke volumes of his character and earned him the trust of the common people. Adams' passion for liberty was ignited by his strong belief in God's Providence. He believed that freedom was not just a political ideal, but a divine mandate. This conviction led him to initiate the Massachusetts Circular and play pivotal roles in events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Adams' faith was not confined to private devotion. As a member of the Continental Congress, he advocated for national days of prayer and fasting, recognizing that the success of the American cause depended on God's favor. His suggestion to have the meeting opened with a prayer by a non-Puritan minister demonstrated his spirit of religious tolerance and reliance on God's guidance. Samuel Adams' political career was marked by significant contributions, including signing the Declaration of Independence and helping draft the Massachusetts Constitution, which reflected his belief in the Christian foundation of governance. His life was a testament to steadfast faith and public service, guided by an unwavering trust in God's sovereign plan. Samuel Adams' story reminds us that true leadership is rooted in faith and integrity. Thank you for joining us here at The Wandering Pilgrims.

Let's set the scene: it's 1774, and the colonies are in turmoil. Britain's taxes and punishments have pushed things to the edge. The Coercive Acts, those harsh measures slapped on Massachusetts after the Boston Tea Party, were the last straw. But here's the thing—no one was quite ready to shout “independence” just yet. Instead, the colonies decided to send delegates to Philadelphia to hash things out together. This meeting, the First Continental Congress, became the starting point for something much bigger. I like to think of it like a well—quiet on the surface, but when you start drawing water, you find the depth and nourishment that's been there all along. The First Continental Congress was where the colonies began to draw from the well of unity and freedom. The delegates weren't out to break away from Britain (not officially, anyway). Instead, their goal was to address their grievances and try to find some middle ground. Spoiler alert: they didn't succeed in reconciling with the Crown, but they did create something far more powerful—solidarity and the foundation for independence. The meeting wasn't flashy. No grand declarations, no fireworks. But beneath the surface, the groundwork for revolution was being laid...

During the early days of the American Revolution, British Americans attempted to sway their fellow Britons with consumer politics. In 1768 and 1769, they organized a non-consumption movement of British goods to protest the Townshend Duties. In 1774, they arranged a non-importation and non-exportation movement to protest the Tea Act and Coercive Acts. Why did the colonists protest the Tea Act and Coercive Acts? Why did they chose to protest those acts with the consumer politics of a non-importation/non-exportation program? James Fichter, the author of Tea: Consumption, Politics, and Revolution, 1773-1776, joins us to explore the Tea Crisis of 1773 and the resulting non-importation/non-exportation movement the colonists organized after Parliament passed the Coercive Acts.

On this day in 1773, Massachusetts colonists threw nearly $2 million worth of tea into Boston Harbor. The group was known as the Sons of Liberty and were protesting a British law creating a monopoly on tea.
This Day in Legal History: Boston Tea PartyOn this day in 1773, a turning point in American colonial history unfolded in Boston Harbor: the Boston Tea Party. A group of American colonists, members of the secretive resistance group known as the Sons of Liberty, disguised themselves as Mohawk Native Americans and boarded three ships of the British East India Company. Under the cover of night, they dumped 342 chests of tea into the icy waters of the harbor. This protest was a defiant response to what the colonists viewed as oppressive British taxation policies, most notably the Tea Act.It is worth noting here that in one of the nation's most definitive acts of rebellion, the participants deliberately disguised themselves as Native Americans, a minority group already marginalized and subjected to colonial violence. This choice not only symbolized a rejection of British rule but also served as a strategic scapegoating mechanism—if the protest failed or was met with severe repercussions, blame could potentially be shifted onto an already vulnerable population. This act underscores a troubling dynamic: even in a moment of defiance against tyranny, the colonists perpetuated patterns of exploitation and misrepresentation, using Native identity as a convenient shield for their own rebellious actions.The Tea Act of 1773 had been designed to prop up the struggling East India Company by allowing it to sell tea directly to the colonies, bypassing colonial merchants. While the tea itself was cheaper, the act maintained a tax on tea under the Townshend Acts, reaffirming Britain's right to tax the colonies without their consent—a principle the colonists vehemently opposed as "taxation without representation."The Boston Tea Party galvanized both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain, Parliament responded with a series of punitive measures known as the Coercive Acts, or as the colonists called them, the Intolerable Acts. These acts included:* The Boston Port Act, which closed Boston Harbor to all shipping until restitution was made for the destroyed tea.* Measures strengthening British authority in Massachusetts, effectively curtailing self-governance.* The Quartering Act, forcing colonists to house British soldiers.For the colonists, the Boston Tea Party symbolized both resistance and unity. While not all supported the destruction of property, the event rallied support for the growing revolutionary movement. In time, this protest—and the severe response it provoked—would become a turning point, pushing the colonies closer to open rebellion and eventually independence.The Boston Tea Party remains a symbol of resistance to tyranny and an enduring moment in the history of legal and political dissent. It underscored the central conflict between the colonies and Britain: the issue of representation and the rights of subjects under the law, a conflict that would culminate in the American Revolution just two years later.Fourth Circuit Judge James Wynn Jr. has reversed his decision to take senior status, effectively rescinding his semi-retirement and denying President-elect Donald Trump the chance to fill his seat. Wynn, an Obama appointee, initially announced his intention to step down contingent upon the confirmation of his successor, Ryan Park, whose nomination was later withdrawn due to a lack of Senate support under a bipartisan agreement. Wynn's move follows similar reversals by two district court judges and has sparked criticism from Republican lawmakers, who allege the judges are politicizing the judicial retirement process to maintain Democratic-appointed seats. Ethical concerns have also been raised, with conservative groups filing misconduct complaints, claiming that reversing retirement decisions based on election outcomes could violate judicial ethics codes. Legally, there is no explicit prohibition against withdrawing retirement plans, but such actions are rare and can draw scrutiny if perceived as undermining the impartiality and integrity of the judiciary.Of course, one might rightly wonder why conservatives would mind not having an opportunity to fill a vacant seat if they intended to fill it with an impartial appointee. Judge Wynn Reverses Retirement Plans, Denies Trump Vacancy (2)ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million to former President Donald Trump's presidential library to settle a lawsuit over statements made by anchor George Stephanopoulos during a March interview with Rep. Nancy Mace. The lawsuit, filed in March in Florida, alleged that Stephanopoulos falsely stated Trump was found liable for rape in the civil case brought by E. Jean Carroll, with malice and disregard for the truth. As part of the settlement, ABC News will also publish a clarification by Sunday retracting the statements made during the interview. Both parties have agreed to dismiss the case, according to court filings.For clarity, Donald Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in a civil lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. In May 2023, a jury in New York determined that Trump sexually abused Carroll during an encounter in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s and later defamed her by publicly calling her allegations a "hoax" and making disparaging remarks about her character.The jury did not find Trump liable for rape, as defined under New York law, but awarded Carroll $5 million in damages—$2 million for the sexual abuse claim and $3 million for defamation. This distinction is important because the claim of rape under the law involves specific criteria that the jury did not believe were met, even though they concluded that Trump had engaged in other non-consensual sexual conduct.Put simply, if you were to state “Donald Trump was found liable for rape and is a rapist,” that would be incorrect – what you would want to make clear is that he was found civilly liable for sexual abuse. ABC to pay $15 million to Trump library to settle lawsuit, court documents show | ReutersSenator Ron Wyden's Secure American Communications Act seeks to mandate the FCC to establish binding cybersecurity regulations for U.S. telecommunications providers, addressing vulnerabilities exposed by the Salt Typhoon hack, a Chinese state-sponsored cyberattack targeting U.S. communications networks. This attack reportedly compromised call records, live conversations, and personal communications of high-ranking officials, including President-elect Donald Trump.The proposed bill requires telecom carriers to implement robust security measures, conduct annual vulnerability testing, and undergo independent audits, with results and compliance certifications submitted to the FCC. The legislation also seeks to address the FCC's longstanding failure to enforce a 1994 federal law mandating telecom providers secure systems from unauthorized interceptions.Wyden's initiative is part of a broader strategy to bolster communications security, including proposed legislation for encrypted communications software and restricting the export of Americans' data to adversarial nations. The draft emphasizes the need to protect Americans' privacy, reduce reliance on insecure proprietary software, and counter advanced persistent threats like those seen in the Salt Typhoon breach. Consumer and privacy advocacy groups have endorsed the bill, calling it a critical step toward securing U.S. telecommunications infrastructure against foreign espionage.Wyden Releases Draft Legislation to Secure U.S. Phone Networks Following Salt Typhoon Hack This is a public episode.

Quit playing with your Lincoln log and listen up, because President Abraham Lincoln is here, he's queer, and we all better get used to it! Lincoln is commonly called the greatest president in American history: but what if he was also frequently in love with men? What if he slept with them in bed for years of his life? What if he had moved to Fire Island, fallen in love with Bowen Yang, and roamed the beaches like a giant gay giraffe? Shaun Peterson is the director, writer, and producer of a provocative new documentary on Lincoln's queer side that asks (most of) these urgent questions. Lover of Men: The Untold Story of Abraham Lincoln serves viewers a Boston TEA Party of Honest Abe's "lavender" leanings – and reveals its 150-year-long cover-up. It's 90 minutes of must-see queer history TV, and you can stream it today on Apple TV, Prime Video, and Vimeo. – If you like what you hear in this episode, please leave us a five star rating on Spotify, Apple, or your favorite platform.

The Intuitive Customer - Improve Your Customer Experience To Gain Growth
Let's talk about government and Customer Experience. It might surprise you that government and Customer Experience have a tighter relationship than you think. Many organizations, particularly in the private sector, recognize the importance of providing great experiences to keep customers satisfied and loyal. But should governments do the same for their citizens? Can a well-run government improve societal well-being by focusing on efficiency, transparency, and user-friendly services? In this episode, we explore the government's role in delivering experiences to citizens through essential services or regulatory actions that impact organizations and their customers. Historically, a poorly managed experience with the government has significant consequences (cue: the Boston Tea Party). But beyond extreme cases, day-to-day interactions with government agencies also influence our quality of life. We start by asking why government agencies should care about CX at all. Using real-world examples, such as the surprisingly smooth process of renewing a passport or the convenience of services like Global Entry at airports, we see how an efficient government improves employee morale and public satisfaction. Plus, efficient government departments can save money, attract top talent, and increase citizen trust. Beyond service delivery, governments play a vital role in regulating experiences for private companies. Markets can become exploitative without proper regulations, leaving customers vulnerable to poor practices. We look at examples of beneficial regulations, like the Truth in Lending Act, which protects consumers from misleading financial products, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, which ensures accessibility for all. However, regulation is a delicate balance. Too little oversight can lead to exploitation, while too much can stifle competition and innovation. Some laws—like those that mandate thousands of training hours for hairstylists or forbid self-service gas stations—seem overly restrictive and detrimental to the customer experience. Finding a middle ground that protects consumers without creating unnecessary barriers is key. Join us as we discuss governments' critical role in shaping experiences and why every government, like a business, should aim to improve the CX it delivers to its citizens. More Key Moments in the Discussion: How efficient government services influence national life satisfaction. The impact of "bad profits" in the financial sector and their regulatory solutions. Why governments can't afford to ignore inefficiency for long. Examples of overregulation stifling innovation in U.S. states. The link between government CX and economic growth.

“The active business of the American Revolution began in Philadelphia.” That's what Benjamin Rush and John Adams believed - because the spark that ignited the Boston Tea Party wasn't in Boston. It was lit in Philadelphia on October 16, 1773. This forgotten piece of history involves fiery protests, bold resolutions, and even letters from the Committee on Tarring and Feathering.
