Čo hovorí historik Peter Jašek z Ústavu pamäti národa, keď počuje vetu, že “Rus raz odíde” alebo že za inváziu v roku 1968 môžu Ukrajinci?Terčom dezinformácií a politických manipulácií sa stáva aj invázia Sovietskeho zväzu v roku 1968. Opakovane pozorujeme snahu viniť za túto inváziu Ukrajinu rozoberaním pôvodu Brežneva alebo národnostného zloženia vojsk Varšavskej zmluvy.Objavujú sa porovnania invázie v roku 1968 s dnešným útokom Ruska na Ukrajinu a minister obrany Robert Kaliňák naznačuje, že sa oplatí počkať a nebrániť sa.V rozhovore s Petrom Jaškom hovoríme aj o tom: čo hovorí na slová ministra obrany Kaliňáka “Rus raz odíde” s akou propagandou pracoval vtedy Sovietsky zväz čo si myslí o prirovnaní invázie Sovietskeho zväzu v roku 1968 s dnešnou obrannou dohodou s USA ako vníma snahy viniť Ukrajincov za inváziu v roku 1968“Sovieti pôvodne dúfali, že predtým ako príde k vojenskej akcii, príde k puču na úrovni vedenia Komunistickej strany. A že potom dostanú oficiálne pozvanie, vďaka ktorému získajú náter legitimity. Spontánna a masová reakcia obyvateľstva Československa demaskovalo túto akciu ako okupáciu.” hovorí Peter Jašek.

Send us a textHave you ever caught yourself mindlessly scrolling your phone, finishing an entire bag of chips without noticing, or having "just one more" drink that turned into several? You're not alone, and it's not entirely your fault.Our brains are wired for reward, and modern life is designed to exploit this vulnerability. Whether it's sugar, alcohol, social media, or any quick-hit pleasure, they all trigger the same dopamine pathways – creating cycles of anticipation, temporary satisfaction, inevitable crash, and renewed craving. This podcast explores how these patterns silently shape our lives, one small choice at a time, until we find ourselves trapped in behaviors we never consciously chose.But breaking free is possible. True recovery goes beyond simple abstinence to address the underlying reasons we reach for these escapes in the first place. What pain are you numbing? What void are you trying to fill? Through establishing daily non-negotiables – consistent practices that ground your day and create a framework for healthier choices – you can begin rewiring your brain's reward system. Physical movement, nutritious eating, mindful consumption of information, and regular connection with supportive communities gradually restore natural dopamine balance, making it easier to find satisfaction in meaningful activities rather than quick fixes.Most importantly, this journey thrives in community, not isolation. "Addiction thrives when it's alone. Recovery thrives in connection." By keeping promises to yourself and building integrity through small daily choices, you create a life where artificial highs feel unnecessary compared to the deeper satisfaction of living authentically. The question becomes not "How do I avoid my addiction?" but "How do I build a life I don't want to escape from?" Listen in to discover how you can transform recovery from a series of deprivations into a journey of creation – crafting a life that truly satisfies your deepest needs.Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if this episode resonated with you.

Exministr Zaorálek si poslanecký mandát na komunistické kandidátce Stačilo zřejmě zaslouží. V posledním videu se morálně rozhořčuje nad korupcí prolezlou Ukrajinou a českou akcí Nemesis, která posílá drony na Ukrajinu. Vnímá ji jako ohrožení naší národní bezpečnosti.O čem to vypovídá? Že okupovaná a bránící se Ukrajina má vnitřní problémy spojené i s korupcí? Ano, je to pravděpodobné. Stejně jako je faktem, že v Rusku – na rozdíl od Ukrajiny – ani demonstranti nemohou vyjít na ulici, protože jsou okamžitě zatčeni a odvlečeni do lágrů. Mimochodem, dnes je v Rusku víc politických vězňů než za Brežněva.Zaorálek to samozřejmě nemusí ve svém videu zdůrazňovat, když kritizuje Ukrajinu jako autoritářský stát. Když však publikuje svůj komentář v kontextu předvolební kampaně Stačilo – hnutí, které podporuje Rusko a chce vystoupit z NATO – dělá z něj mlčení ke druhé straně konfliktu přímého Putinova spojence.Hostem dnešního speciálu je však Zuzana Hantáková, členka sdružení Kaputin. Sedm jeho členů pražský městský soud před dvěma dny osvobodil v kauze jejich protestu proti ruské invazi. Hantáková mluví o důvodech protestu, které spočívají i v nečinnosti ministerstva vnitra ohledně vyvlastnění ruských nemovitostí v Česku.Řeč bude také o jedné z nejtemnějších postav ruské scény u nás – Michailu Sarukanovovi, přímém podřízeném prezidenta Putina, který stále operuje na našem území. A také o tom, jak se hvězdy dezo scény zakrátko objeví v Poslanecké sněmovně – a co to bude znamenat.

They dive into capital call backlash, investor psychology, and the inefficiencies of underwriting non-residential properties with AI. Both emphasize the need for realistic risk-adjusted returns, flexible deal structuring, and staying hands-on in deal sourcing despite past success.

The funhouse of an abusive, manipulative, or Narcissistic relationship can leave you very disoriented when you finally find your way out. The amount of trauma there is to process can feel stifling and the endless questions may bombard you. What was the extent of their lies? Was any of it true? Did they ever really love me? Why do I still have feelings for this person who hurt me so badly? Sometimes you just need some help to get out of the woods. This is where my guest this week, Bre Wolta, comes in. Bre is a Relationship Clarity Coach who is passionate about helping women heal from the mindf*ck of narcissistic relationships so that they can rebuild their confidence and securely attach in future healthy relationships. On this guest episode, Bre shares about her own toxic relationship healing journey, and her ability to hold safe space allows her to walk alongside clients as they build trust and rekindle the most important relationship of all: the one they have with themselves. Bre explains why she is so passionate about helping women heal from the narcissistic mindf*ck & the 3 elements she believes we need to fully heal the narcissistic wound and allow us to securely attach in all of our relationships with friends, lovers, and family. We both explore our personal past dealing with deceitful partners and how we are all capable of reclaiming our light and belief in true, safe, healthy love.Bre Wolta, EFT and The Clearing Work™ Certified Practitioner, is a Relationship Clarity Coach who helps Women heal and move into their highest experience in healthy relationships. Podcast: Heartbreak to Wholeness: Untangle the Mindf*ck of Narcissistic RelationshipsIG: @lucid.living.with.breWebsite: www.brewolta.com

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses second quarter commercial real estate sales trends, with a deep dive into multifamily and retail activity. He explains why transaction velocity—rather than dollar volume—is a more reliable market indicator, especially in a period with large portfolio deals like Blackstone's Air Communities acquisition. John also breaks down cap rate trends using both average and hedonic metrics, noting that while some asset classes show downward cap rate pressure, much of it may stem from deal quality shifts. He wraps with a forward-looking view, expressing optimism for 2025 as a strong entry point for investors, citing steady interest rates, more deal flow, and favorable long-term tax policies.

Bre breaks down how overvaccination, early spay/neuter, kibble, flea meds, and toxic environments are disrupting dogs' health at the root—and what it looks like to raise a truly resilient dog in today's world. We talk about her own wake-up call after losing two dogs to cancer, and how that grief fueled her mission to educate and empower others. You'll walk away with a fresh lens on terrain theory, practical detox tools, and the confidence to ask better questions at the vet's office. Whether you're new to holistic pet care or you've already started questioning the system, this episode will meet you where you are—and give you tools to move forward. What We Cover: The spay/neuter debate: risks, myths, and hormone-sparing alternatives Rethinking the vaccine schedule: titers, immunity, and informed consent Why kibble is keeping dogs inflamed and undernourished The terrain theory approach to Lyme, cancer, and chronic disease Natural strategies for detox, hydration, and nervous system support How to stop outsourcing critical thinking and start advocating from day one Resources: This episode is sponsored by Puori! Shop Puori grass-fed protein powder + supplements (Clean Label Certified and third-party tested!!!) discount code: HEALINGTHESOURCE Instagram: @tailswellhealth Website: https://www.tailswell.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TailswellHealth Follow the host, Claudia, on Instagram and check out HealingTheSource.co

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses a potential game-changing executive order from President Trump that could allow U.S. retirement accounts like 401(k)s to invest in private market assets, including commercial real estate. He explores how this influx of capital could significantly reshape cap rates—not because of interest rates, but due to shifts in capital flows. Using historical data, John challenges the commonly held belief that cap rates track closely with interest rates, demonstrating instead that transaction volume and investor demand play a much stronger role. He concludes by urging investors to consider positioning themselves ahead of a possible capital wave that could drive property values higher.
