In 1969, a cartoon about a traditional Japanese family premiered on Fuji TV.More than 55 years later, Sazae-san still airs in its original time slot. It is set in a more patriarchal time when women stay at home and do the housework, and men go to work and like getting drunk.Sunishi Yukimuro was one of the first writers. He tells Vicky Farncombe how young viewers watch it as a period drama and enjoy the closeness of the family.“They get most envious when they watch the scenes where everybody gets together to have a meal,” he says. “We don't have such scenes in current families. People eat separately these days.”Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

The US wants to control Venezuelan oil sales ‘indefinitely' but the ‘catastrophic' state of the Latin American nation's crude facilities presents several hurdles.

Stéphane Bern raconte un fait divers légendaire dans le sud de la France dans les années 1950 : le vol des bijoux de la Begum, avec un braquage audacieux, un conte de fées exotique et des policiers pas très clairs… En quoi ce braquage était-il particulièrement spectaculaire ? Quelles ont été les difficultés pour démêler l'affaire ? Pourquoi le vol des bijoux de la Bégum a-t-il autant défrayé la chronique? Pour en parler, Stéphane Bern reçoit Bruno Fuligni, historien.

If the value of the material recovered doesn't exceed the cost to collect and process it, that item ends up in a landfill. This economic gap is exactly where Tom Szaky has built an empire.Recently, Tom Szaky, the CEO and founder of TerraCycle, shared insights on how he is tackling the world's garbage problem. His company isn't just a recycling firm; it is a supply chain innovator that figures out how to recycle the “unrecyclable,” from cigarette butts to dirty diapers.Tom explains the core issue with clarity. “The reality is most things in the world can be recycled. The difference is that recycling is not really a public service. It's run by for-profit companies.”He notes that aluminum cans are recycled because they are profitable. Conversely, complex items like coffee capsules cost more to process than the aluminum is worth. TerraCycle solves this by finding stakeholders—brands, retailers, and cities—willing to fund that gap.This model has proven incredibly successful. TerraCycle has been profitable for years and recently completed a Regulation Crowdfunding offering for TerraCycle US. They raised $5 million in less than 60 days.Investors are drawn to the company not just for its mission but for its financial discipline. Tom highlighted that previous investors have already received significant returns. “If you invested, say $1,000 in REG A back five years ago, you'd have already been paid somewhere between 17% and 20% of that invested capital in dividends.”Tom Szaky, Founder and CEO of TerraCycle, will be speaking at SuperGreen Live, sharing insights on sustainability, circular economy solutions, and rethinking waste at scale—register now at SuperGreenLive.orgTom challenges the old binary that you either make money or you do good. He believes purpose fuels business fundamentals. By locating his HQ in Trenton, New Jersey, he revitalizes an underserved community while gaining access to affordable real estate and a diverse talent pool.“Why should on one end we make money and on the other end give it away to NGOs to help save the world?” Tom asks. “Why can't those two concepts come together where you can invest in a profitable business whose core focus is making the world better?”TerraCycle is proving that you can indeed do both. By aligning profit with planetary health, Tom is showing a path toward a zero-waste world that makes economic sense.tl;dr:TerraCycle creates supply chains for hard-to-recycle waste by getting stakeholders to fund the cost gap.Recycling is an economic challenge because items are only recycled locally if they generate profit.Tom recently raised $5 million via Regulation Crowdfunding by demonstrating proven growth and consistent dividends.Purpose-driven business models can drive better economic fundamentals like lower costs and government support.Tom's superpower is rallying people around a vision by starting with a beautiful, impactful idea.How to Develop Rallying Believers As a SuperpowerTom describes his superpower as the ability to get others to see his vision and join him in executing it. It isn't just about salesmanship; it is about authentic conviction. He explains, “I feel like my core superpower is convincing people to believe in my dreams and rallying them around.” This ability allows him to mobilize diverse groups, from college interns to multinational corporations, to tackle massive global challenges like waste elimination.To illustrate this, Tom shared a charming story from his childhood. In second grade, he had a vision of folding thousands of origami cranes to create a decorative entryway for his bedroom. He started folding them at a table with four other classmates. He didn't force them to help; he just started doing the work with passion. Within two days, the whole table was folding cranes. By the end of the week, the entire class was involved. This early experience taught him that if you lead with action and a compelling idea, people will naturally want to be part of the journey.How to Develop This SuperpowerFor those interested in rallying people around a vision, Tom offers several insights that can help transform this into a skill:Start with a beautiful idea. The core concept should not just be about making money. It must be something that makes the world better, more beautiful, or more sustainable.Believe in it yourself. Authentic, unwavering belief in a dream is essential before expecting others to follow.Just start doing it. Action attracts others. By beginning the work, people will naturally gravitate toward the energy and vision.View profit as health, not the goal. While profit is necessary to survive, keeping the mission as the central focus ensures authenticity. This, in turn, attracts investors, employees, and partners who want to be part of something meaningful.Maintain clarity of vision. Instead of trying to fix everything at once, a focused approach on a specific area of expertise drives meaningful change.By following Tom's example and advice, rallying believers can become a powerful skill. With practice and effort, this superpower can enable individuals and organizations to achieve greater impact.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileTom Szaky (he/him):CEO/Founder, TerraCycleAbout TerraCycle: TerraCycle is an international leader in innovative sustainability solutions, creating and operating first-of-their-kind platforms in recycling, recycled materials, and reuse.

Today I have the true honor of speaking with journalist, storyteller, historical researcher, and Native American ceremonial dancer Julian Brave Noisecat about his book, We Survived the Night.  This highly original book blends many voices and registers, from both well-known but also buried and purposefully obscured historical archives, to tribal and family stories.  Foremost are the legends and adaptations of the Coyote figure—which haunts, inspires, deceives, and, yes, teaches lessons that help Indigenous peoples survive the night. We spend some time talking about how Coyote is many things at once, but not all the time, we discuss notions of purity and mixedness, multiplicity and singularity, truth and lies, and come out on the side of generosity, love, and creativity, to make worlds that deserve not only to survive, but also to thrive.Julian Brave NoiseCat is a writer, Oscar-nominated filmmaker, champion powwow dancer and student of Salish art and history. His first documentary, Sugarcane, directed alongside Emily Kassie, follows an investigation into abuse and missing children at the Indian residential school NoiseCat's family was sent to near Williams Lake, British Columbia. Sugarcane premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival where NoiseCat and Kassie won the Directing Award in the U.S. Documentary Competition. The film was recognized with dozens of awards including Best Documentary from the National Board of Review and was nominated for an Academy Award. A proud member of the Canim Lake Band Tsq'escen and descendant of the Lil'Wat Nation of Mount Currie, NoiseCat's first book, We Survived the Night, was published by Alfred A. Knopf, Penguin Random House Canada, and Profile Books in October 2025 and was an instant national bestseller in Canada with translations forthcoming from Albin Michel in France, Aufbau Verlag in Germany, Iperborea in Italy, and Libros del Asteroide in Spain.NoiseCat's journalism has appeared in dozens of publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The New Yorker and has been recognized with many awards including the 2022 American Mosaic Journalism Prize, which honors "excellence in long-form, narrative or deep reporting on stories about underrepresented and/or misrepresented groups in the present American landscape." In 2021, NoiseCat was named to the TIME100 Next list of emerging leaders alongside the starting point guard of his fantasy basketball team, Luka Doncic.

If you're not familiar with the Monroe Doctrine, Stigall gives a brief history lesson then explains why President Trump's "Don-roe Doctrine" is critically important for the new era in an increasingly shrinking world in a race for supremacy. Daniel Turner from Power the Future on why 30-50 billion barrels of oil from Venezuela and access to pumping more out of their ground using American companies is critical. And all that talk about buying or invading Greenland? It actually has a very serious purpose - one few understand or discuss but one we must deal with now. The fraud in Minnesota is breathtaking, and Josh Hammer is here to discuss it plus the legality of arresting Maduro and tryin him in a New York court while France jails critics of the the Prime Minister's wife.

Guest: Joseph Sternberg. In Europe, France faces continued political paralysis that may require a decisive election between the right and left, whereas Germany's center-right government under Chancellor Merz is reclaiming the initiative by addressing immigration and economic growth. Meanwhile, Japan's move to normalize interest rates could trigger a massive repatriation of capital that impacts global markets, while in the UK, Prime Minister Starmer faces a difficult year of economic stagnation, surviving largely because there is no clear alternative to his leadership.October 18701

In 1999, Dame Tracey Emin's unmade bed was nominated for Britain's prestigious Turner art prize opening up conversations about how we define art.The installation titled, My Bed, was Dame Tracey's bed surrounded by empty bottles and detritus.Dame Tracey said: “It's like a time capsule of a woman from the '90s.”After eventually losing out on the Turner prize, she sold her piece for $200,000. She says: “The bed itself has become a national treasure of sorts”.Natasha Fernandes uses Dame Tracey's 2024 interview with BBC 100 Women to tell the story of her famous artwork.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

On Friday the 13th, October 1307, the Knights Templar were destroyed in a single coordinated operation across France.Hundreds of Templar knights were arrested at dawn. Their property was seized. Their leaders were tortured. And within a few years, the most powerful military and financial institution in medieval Europe was erased.The official story says the Knights Templar were heretics.This investigation shows something very different.In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we uncover how the Knights Templar became Europe's first international banking system — and how a bankrupt king used fabricated heresy charges to eliminate his creditors in what may be the largest sovereign debt default of the Middle Ages.We examine:• How the Knights Templar became the bankers of kings and popes • Why King Philip IV of France was deeply indebted to the Templars • How heresy accusations were engineered as political weapons • The role of torture, propaganda, and legal theater • Why Friday the 13th still carries a legacy of power and fear This wasn't religious persecution.It was financial warfare — disguised as morality.Subscribe for weekly deep dives into the hidden forces behind history, power, money, and control.

Episode: 2566 Taking Champagne to the Masses.  Today, we pop the cork.

Was the American Revolution just a regional rebellion on the eastern seaboard, or something far larger? Professor Richard Bell, author of The American Revolution and the Fate of the World, argues it was a geopolitical earthquake that reshaped the global order. In this episode, Bell explores how France, Spain, and the Netherlands entered the conflict for their own strategic reasons, why Jamaica mattered more to Britain than Virginia, and how foreign intervention proved decisive at battles like Yorktown. Along the way, he shares remarkable stories: Benjamin Franklin organizing his own privateering fleet from Paris, 50,000 ordinary Americans taking to the seas as state-sponsored pirates, and Harry Washington, a man enslaved at Mount Vernon who escaped to British lines and eventually led his own anti-colonial revolution in Sierra Leone. A fresh perspective on America's founding as a truly global event.Timestamps00:54 The American Revolution as a Global Conflict04:55 The British Empire and the Value of Jamaica07:27 Expanding the Patriot Coalition Beyond 13 Colonies09:44 Why France Joined the War13:21 Spain's Strategic Goals: Gibraltar and the Caribbean17:16 Dutch Financial Support and the St. Eustatius Arms Trade19:34 How Foreign Intervention Boosted British Morale24:06 From Philadelphia to Yorktown: Foreign Aid on the Battlefield27:11 Patriot Privateers and the War on British Commerce38:28 Harry Washington: From Mount Vernon to Sierra LeoneHost: Jeff SikkengaExecutive Producer: Jeremy GyptonSubscribe: https://linktr.ee/theamericanideaHomepage: https://ashbrook.org/the-american-idea-podcast/

This is despite US tariffs which were initially set at to 49%, but later negotiated down to ~20%. At the same time, Chinese exports to the US plunged -40% YoY in Q3 2025. This comes as the region has a massive cost advantage over US and European manufacturing, which ranges from 20% to 100%, even after tariffs. Companies use Southeast Asian economies as alternative export bases to avoid China’s 37% reciprocal tariff. As a result, the amount of trade rerouting from China hit a record $23.7 billion in September. US trade flows are shifting sharply amid tariffs. https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/2008327708200104042?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2008516399564509382?s=20  https://twitter.com/DrJStrategy/status/2008306299235189133?s=20   and a decisive shift of policy emphasis toward productive capital and economic sovereignty rather than financial engineering, Trump has reoriented the engines of growth toward productive capital, investment, industry, and national capacity. Anchored by the Trump Corollary, asserting a sovereign, American‑led Western Hemisphere and demonstrated in both the flawless military operation in Venezuela and the broader regime‑pressure strategy, this doctrine is not theater but an integrated fusion of economic, security, and hemispheric power. These changes are as profound in their structural implications as the original Jacksonian pivot, and those who assume Trump is a merely performative politician and strategist are therefore sorely mistaken, confusing a disruptive style with a coherent focused project to realign America's coalition, its economic model, and its role in the world.

Greenland is the theatre where any strategic exchange between Washington and Moscow is contested. If you want to intercept a ballistic missile, the best point to do so is at the apogee, at the top of the flight path. The shortest route for an interceptor to get to an apogee is from directly below the apogee. That's where Greenland is. So, without stating what should happen here, this is **why** the Trump administration says they **need** Greenland for national security. The other thing that is happening is that the Northern Passage through the Arctic is opening up, and soon there will be Chinese cargo ships sailing through the Arctic to Rotterdam. It's faster than the Suez and the ships aren't limited to Suezmax size so China and EU trade is going to accelerate a lot. This means Chinese submarines will also be venturing under the Arctic into the Northern Atlantic, IF THEY AREN'T ALREADY DOING SO. Hence, the North East coast of Greenland serves not 1 but 2 critical strategic security objectives of US national security.

The most immediate outcome in capture of Maduro is to neutralize this threat and secure the operating companies stakes in Guyana, as well as Western Hemisphere’s energy security. By stabilizing Guyana’s production, which is set to hit 1.7 million barrels per day, the intervention guarantees way more oil flow in near term than reviving Venezuela’s aged infrastructure and heavy sour oil. This move protects billions in U.S. investment and positions Guyana producers as the ultimate winners. https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/2008448254095012088?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2008591197728813564?s=20  Mass Protests Enter 9th Straight Day in Iran — Regime Accused of Killing Young Woman and Multiple Peaceful Protesters as Officials Deny Responsibility — Brave 11-Year-Old Iranian Boy Calls on Nation: “Take to the Streets! We Have Nothing to Lose!” (VIDEO)  Protests against Iran's murderous Islamic regime continued across the country for a ninth straight day over the weekend, as nationwide unrest intensifies and the government struggles to maintain control. Demonstrations have now spread to multiple cities throughout Iran, with citizens openly defying the Islamic Republic and targeting its symbols of power.

They insist the world runs on rules now and that borders are sacred. Also that true power has been replaced by paperwork. This belief is not moral in the least. It's f*****g archaeological. They live inside institutions built by violence, defended by men they no longer understand, and guaranteed by forces they refuse to acknowledge. Like tourists wandering a fortress, they admire the stonework while mocking the idea of a siege. They confuse order with nature. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Then blame the person that reminds them of this. Civilization is not the default state of humanity. It is an achievement that is temporary, fragile, and expensive. It exists only where force once cleared the ground and still quietly patrols the perimeter. A lion does not debate the ethics of hunger. Neither does a starving empire. History is not a morality play, it is a pressure test. When pressure rises, abstractions collapse first. Laws follow power; they do NOT precede it. Property exists only where someone can prevent it from being taken. Sovereignty is not declared, it is enforced. The modern West outsourced this enforcement, then forgot the invoice existed. So when someone points out uncomfortable realities (whether about Greenland, Venezuela, or the broader balance of power) they respond with ritual incantations: “You can't do that.” “That's wrong.” “That's against the rules.” As if the rules themselves are armed. As if history paused because we asked nicely. This is how empires fall. Not from invasion alone, but from conceptual rot. From mistaking a long season of safety for a permanent condition. From believing lethality is immoral instead of foundational. Every civilization that forgot how violence works eventually relearned it the hard way. The conquerors did not arrive because they were monsters; they arrived because their victims could no longer imagine them. The tragedy is not that power still exists. The tragedy is that so many have forgotten it does. Idk who needs to hear this but civilization is a garden grown atop a graveyard. Ignore the soil, and someone else will plant something far less gentle. Hate me for being the messenger and asking the hard questions about conquest if you want. You're just wasting your time. War/Peace Zelenskyy Announces the Appointment of Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland as Economic Advisor  Chrystia Freeland was the former lead of the Canadian trade delegation when Trudeau realized he needed to try and offset the economic damage within the renegotiated NAFTA agreement known as the USMCA. Freeland was also the lead attack agent behind the debanking effort against Canadian truckers who opposed the vaccine mandate. In addition to holding Ukraine roots, the ideology of Chrystia Freeland as a multinational globalist and promoter for the World Economic Forum's ‘new world order' is well documented.    given the recent revelations about billions of laundered aid funds being skimmed by corrupt members of the Ukraine government, we can only imagine how much of the recovery funds would be apportioned to maintaining the life of indulgence the political leaders expect. In response to the lucrative “voluntary” appointment, Chrystia Freeland has announced her resignation from Canadian government in order to avoid any conflict of interest as the skimming is organized.

The “Coalition of the Willing” (including the UK, France, Germany, and others) is coordinating these pledges to reassure Kyiv, but the framework explicitly ties into U.S.-backed elements like ceasefire verification and long-term armaments.  Russia has not yet shown willingness to compromise on core demands, so the deal’s success remains uncertain, but this step advances the security pillar of the overall plan.

President Trump signs Executive Order 14287 in the Oval Office. The title reads like standard bureaucracy: “Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens.” But in the third paragraph, a single phrase changes everything: Sanctuary jurisdictions are engaging in “a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law.” Insurrection. The exact statutory term from 10 U.S.C. §§ 332-333 . The language that unlocks the Insurrection Act of 1807. Georgetown Law professor Martin Lederman publishes analysis within days. The executive order mirrors Section 334 requirements. The formal proclamation to disperse before military deployment. It designates unlawful actors, issues formal warning, establishes consequences. Governors dismiss it as political theater. Constitutional attorneys recognize something else. The proclamation was already issued. Trump just didn't announce it as such. THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK January 20, 2025. Inauguration Day. Hours after taking the oath, Trump issues Proclamation 10886 declaring a national emergency at the southern border. Section 6(b) requires a joint report within 90 days on whether to invoke the Insurrection Act. The deadline falls April 20, 2025. Eight days later comes Executive Order 14287 . National emergency declaration establishes crisis conditions. The 90-day clock forces formal evaluation. The executive order provides the legal predicate. Section 334 of the Insurrection Act mandates the president issue a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse before deploying military force. April 28 order satisfies every requirement. It names the actors. Describes their unlawful conduct. Warns of consequences. Grants opportunity to comply. Governors treated it as negotiation leverage. It was legal notification. The trap locked in April 2025. Everything since has been documentation. THE TESTING PHASE Throughout 2025, the administration attempts standard enforcement. National Guard deployments under existing authority. October 4, 2025 . Trump federalizes 300 Illinois National Guard members to protect ICE personnel in Chicago. Governor J.B. Pritzker files immediate legal challenge. Federal courts block the deployment. Posse Comitatus restricts military involvement in domestic law enforcement. November 2025 . Portland judge issues permanent injunction against Guard deployment in Oregon. December 23, 2025 . The Supreme Court denies emergency relief in Trump v. Illinois. Justice Kavanaugh files a brief concurrence with a consequential footnote: “One apparent ramification of the Court's opinion is that it could cause the President to use the U.S. military more than the National Guard.” Northwestern Law professor Paul Gowder decodes the signal : “This is basically an invitation for Trump to go straight to the Insurrection Act next time.” The courts established ordinary measures cannot succeed when states organize systematic resistance. They certified that regular law enforcement has become impracticable. They documented the exact threshold Section 332 requires. The founders designed a system that assumed conflict between federal and state authority. For decades, that friction was suppressed. Emergency powers normalized after 9/11, federal agencies expanded into state domains, courts deferred to administrative expertise. The Guard deployment battles weren't system failure. They were constitutional gravity reasserting itself. Courts blocking deployments under Posse Comitatus didn't weaken Trump's position. They certified that ordinary measures had become impracticable, crossing Section 332's threshold. December 31, 2025 . Trump announces Guard withdrawal from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland via Truth Social. Governor Newsom celebrates: “President Trump has finally admitted defeat.” But the machine's interpretation misreads strategic repositioning as retreat. You cannot claim ordinary measures have been exhausted if contested forces remain deployed. Pull back. Let obstruction resume unchecked. Document the refusal. Then demonstrate what unilateral executive action looks like when constitutional authority aligns. THE DEMONSTRATION Trump v. United States . THE HIDDEN NETWORKS Intelligence sources describe what the roundups since fall 2025 actually target. Embedded cartel operatives running fentanyl distribution chains under state-level protection. The riots following military arrests aren't organic resistance. They're funded backlash from criminal enterprises losing billions. Pre-staged materials appear at protest sites. Simultaneous actions coordinate across jurisdictions. The coordination runs deeper. Federal employee networks across multiple agencies held Zoom training sessions in early 2025. Officials with verified government IDs discussed “non-cooperation as non-violent direct action,” the 3.5% rule for governmental collapse, and infrastructure sabotage through coordinated sick calls. They planned to make federal law enforcement impracticable. The exact language Section 332 requires. Sanctuary policies exist because cartel operations generate billions flowing through state systems. Governors sit on nonprofit boards receiving federal grants. Those nonprofits contract back to state agencies, cycling federal dollars through “charitable” organizations. Cartel cash launders through these same construction and real estate networks. When Trump's operations extract high-value targets, they disrupt the business model. The Machine defends itself through coordinated obstruction designed to make federal enforcement impracticable. This transcends immigration policy. This tests whether states can capture governance for criminal enterprises and nullify federal supremacy. THE LINCOLN PARALLEL Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation confounded supporters and critics alike. Abolitionists expected moral thunder. Instead they received dry legalese about “military necessity” and “war powers.” The document deliberately avoided the word “freedom.” It specified which states, parishes, counties. It exempted border states still in the Union. Constitutional historians recognize the genius. Lincoln wasn't making a moral proclamation. He was establishing irreversible legal predicate under war powers. Once issued, even Northern defeat couldn't fully restore slavery. The proclamation made restoration of the old order structurally impossible. Trump's April 28 order follows identical construction. Critics expected immigration rhetoric. Instead: technical language about “unlawful insurrection” and “federal supremacy.” Specified sanctuary jurisdictions, formal notification procedures, funding suspensions. Avoided inflammatory language. Constitutional attorneys recognize the structure. Irreversible legal predicate under insurrection powers. Even political defeat cannot fully restore sanctuary authority. States would have to prove they're not in systematic insurrection. Both presidents disguised constitutional warfare as administrative procedure. THE COMPLETE RECORD When you review the eight-month timeline you recognize what most ‘experts' miss. The April 28 EO satisfied every Section 334 requirement. It designated sanctuary conduct as insurrection. It provided formal notification. It established consequences. It granted eight months to comply. Compliance never arrived. California and New York passed laws shielding criminal networks. Illinois officials threatened to prosecute ICE agents. Multiple states coordinated legal defenses against federal authority. Courts blocked every standard enforcement attempt. They certified that ordinary measures have become impracticable. Every statutory requirement checks complete: Formal proclamation warning insurgents to disperse: April 28, 2025 Executive Order 14287 Extended opportunity to comply: Eight months from April to December 2025 Documented systematic multi-state obstruction: Sanctuary laws, prosecution threats, coordinated resistance Exhausted ordinary enforcement measures: Guard deployments blocked by federal courts Judicial certification of impracticability: Supreme Court ruling with Kavanaugh footnote The legal architecture stands finished. The predicate has been established. Only the final triggering event remains. Thomas Jefferson signed the Insurrection Act into law on March 3, 1807 . He understood executive authority: forge the instrument ahead of the storm, then await the conditions that justify its use. Abraham Lincoln used it to preserve the Union when eleven states organized systematic resistance. Ulysses S. Grant invoked it to shatter the Ku Klux Klan when Southern governments refused to protect Black citizens. Dwight Eisenhower deployed federal troops to enforce Brown v. Board when Arkansas chose defiance. Each invocation followed the same pattern. Local authorities refuse to enforce federal law. The president issues formal proclamation. Forces deploy when resistance continues. The current situation exceeds every historical precedent in scale and coordination. Multiple state governments coordinating systematic obstruction. Sanctuary jurisdictions spanning dozens of cities. Criminal enterprises funding the resistance through captured state institutions. The April proclamation gave them eight months to stand down. They chose escalation. THE COUNTDOWN The January 4 statement confirms what the legal timeline already established. Prerequisites met. Constitutional threshold crossed and judicially certified. The operational timeline is active. The next escalation triggers the formal dispersal order. Section 334 requires the president issue proclamation ordering insurgents to “disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes” before deploying military force. That's the legal tripwire. Once issued, if obstruction persists after the compliance window closes, federal troops can enforce federal law. Active duty forces under the Insurrection Act. Constitutional. Unreviewable. The forces won't conduct door-to-door immigration raids. They'll provide security perimeters while federal law enforcement executes targeted operations against high-value assets. Operatives. Trafficking nodes. Criminal infrastructure. Targeting oath-bound officials elected and appointed, as well as federal employees who swore to uphold federal law and chose insurrection instead. THE RESTORATION Sanctuary jurisdictions received explicit insurrection warnings last spring. More than half a year to comply. Every olive branch rejected. Courts blocked ordinary enforcement repeatedly, certifying impracticability. The Venezuela op demonstrated unilateral resolve. Yesterday's statement activated the operational sequence. Pattern recognized. Machine is exposed. Evidence is complete. What remains is execution. They're just waiting to hear it tick. The most powerful weapon restrains until every prerequisite aligns. Until mercy extends fully and meets systematic rejection. Until the constitutional framework demands its use. Every prerequisite has aligned. Mercy has been extended and rejected. The framework demands its use. Revolution destroys. Reversion restores. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves. The Insurrection Proclamation frees a republic.  https://twitter.com/EkoLovesYou/status/2008304655156342936?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2008597603412308341?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

In 1982, Isabel Allende published her debut novel, The House of the Spirits. The characters are based on her family, and the story reflects Chile's 20th Century history, including the 1973 military coup in which her relative, President Salvador Allende, was overthrown. The book began as a letter to her dying grandfather, but it grew into an epic multi-generational story. The House of the Spirits was an international bestseller and made Isabel one of the most renowned novelists in Latin America's rich literary history. She speaks to Ben Henderson.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's ‘rock star' philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.(Photo: Isabel Allende in 1986.

After a meeting in Paris of the European allies who call themselves the "coalition of the willing", with the Ukrainian president and two senior US envoys also in attendance, France's President Emmanuel Macron, Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky signed a joint declaration on security guarantees in the event of a ceasefire. We hear military analysis of the Ukraine agreement and also the latest US threats to annex Greenland.Also in the programme: as the authorities in Venezuela turn up the repression, we hear from a one-time protestor in Caracas; and why anger is growing over an AI-powered tool for sexual content on Elon Musk's social media platform X.(IMAGE: Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, France's President Emmanuel Macron and Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer deliver a press conference upon the signing of the declaration on deploying post-ceasefire force in Ukraine during the so-called 'Coalition of the Willing' summit, at the Elysee Palace in Paris, France, January 6, 2026 / CREDIT: Ludovic Marin/Pool via REUTERS)

Darren's open letter to the leadership of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and to Alberta's Chiefs goes viral.   We chat about the bottleneck coming up in the Canada visa program, false accusations of Macron's husband/wife lead to charges and fines in dystopian France, and Freeland's money funneling pays off for her next career move. What are liquid trees and what is info-dynamics? More on Stranger Things, CERN, and occultism from Nick Hinton,   In the second half we get deep into Venezuela, theories on Trump, and in the end our own theory of the near future and the main reason for all this. What should happen if a leader empty's jails into your country, steals oil, moves sanctioned product, etc, never mind drugs? We do not support this but this questions doesn't seem to get answered. The rules based order has not fixed anything and just makes it worse for people. What is to be done? Either way something much deeper is afoot. Is this for protection and the Monroe Doctrine? Is Canada next? and Greenland? Does Trump not want North America but North and South as per the Security Strategy?   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/ or Rokfin www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica Patreon https://www.patreon.com/grimericaoutlawed   Support the show directly: https://grimericacbd.com/ CBD / THC Tinctures and Gummies https://grimerica.ca/support-2/ Our Adultbrain Audiobook Podcast and Website: www.adultbrain.ca Our Audiobook Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@adultbrainaudiobookpublishing/videos Check out our next trip/conference/meetup - Contact at the Cabin www.contactatthecabin.com Other affiliated shows: www.grimerica.ca The OG Grimerica Show Join the chat / hangout with a bunch of fellow Grimericans  Https://t.me.grimerica grimerica.ca/chats   Discord Chats Darren's book www.acanadianshame.ca Eh-List Podcast and site: https://eh-list.ca/ Eh-List YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEh-List www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica Our channel on free speech Rokfin Leave a review on iTunes and/or Stitcher: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/grimerica-outlawed http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/grimerica-outlawed Sign up for our newsletter http://www.grimerica.ca/news SPAM Graham = and send him your synchronicities, feedback, strange experiences and psychedelic trip reports!! graham@grimerica.com InstaGRAM https://www.instagram.com/the_grimerica_show_podcast/  Purchase swag, with partial proceeds donated to the show www.grimerica.ca/swag Send us a postcard or letter http://www.grimerica.ca/contact/ ART - Napolean Duheme's site http://www.lostbreadcomic.com/  MUSIC Tru Northperception, Felix's Site sirfelix.bandcamp.com    For links to all the stuff we chatted about see the podcast post on our website.   https://acanadianshame.substack.com/p/an-open-letter-to-the-leadership https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/chandigarh-news/1-million-indians-in-canada-to-lose-legal-status-by-mid2026-101767204343114.html https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/2008110048388530683 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/world/europe/france-brigitte-macron-cyberbullying-trial-owens.html https://acanadianshame.substack.com/p/an-open-letter-to-the-leadership?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1652372&post_id=183368476&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=bdbre&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email https://acanadianshame.substack.com/p/an-open-letter-to-the-leadership?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1652372&post_id=183368476&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=bdbre&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QtPAnfFvmU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFCDj8EZ1X8 https://x.com/conceptualjames/status/2008160952449999333?s=43 https://x.com/unlimited_ls/status/2006826164560736753?s=43 https://x.com/kagdrogo/status/2007603635405107300?s=43 https://x.com/fft1776/status/2007929044692803867?s=43 https://jonrappoport.substack.com/p/trump-captures-maduro-what-the-hell-is-going-on https://x.com/LauraAboli_X/status/2007789535065674129 https://x.com/RealLindellTV/status/2007255715845640313 https://x.com/KAGdrogo/status/2008255926424551588 https://x.com/RealAF_Patriot/status/2007557374903758946 https://x.com/MattMorseTV/status/2007395225598341613 https://x.com/laralogan/status/2007516427901907229 https://x.com/EthicalSkeptic/status/2007473613054808137 https://x.com/Victoria59L/status/2007796241531322602 https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2007518253309145253 https://x.com/canammissing/status/2007467547780886836 https://x.com/ryangerritsen/status/2007483901057605863 https://x.com/EricaRN4USA/status/2007826972177801586 https://x.com/RealAndyLeeShow/status/2007845533097099305 https://x.com/WarClandestine/status/2007924998703366560 https://x.com/NickHintonn/status/2007044935695126880

Arnaud Montebourg, ancien ministre de l'Économie, est aujourd'hui à la tête de plusieurs entreprises, dont la Compagnie des Amandes et Alfeor dans le nucléaire. Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de politique économique, de désindustrialisation, de réindustrialisation, de souveraineté et du rôle de l'Europe.J'ai voulu l'inviter car je constate depuis longtemps les limites de l'action politique en France face aux défis économiques, écologiques et sociaux. Et qui mieux qu'un ancien ministre de l'Économie – aujourd'hui entrepreneur engagé – pour en parler franchement ?Arnaud ne mâche pas ses mots : critique de l'Union Européenne, inquiet de la vassalisation économique de la France face à la Chine et aux États-Unis, il appelle à un sursaut productif, à la réindustrialisation, et à une refondation profonde de notre appareil productif. On n'est pas toujours d'accord, notamment sur l'écologie, mais sa vision force le respect, tant elle est construite et passionnée.Cet épisode est aussi l'occasion d'annoncer que je recevrai de plus en plus de personnalités politiques sur Vlan! – car il est temps de reconnecter les enjeux économiques et politiques à notre quotidien.Comme soulignée dans l'épisode, si vous souhaitez bénéficier d'une offre exclusive de 15% de réduction sur Saily, c'est ici : www.saily.com/vlan10 idées clefs :1. La France est en déclin économique majeurMontebourg dresse un constat alarmant : la France est en chute libre sur le plan économique, avec une balance commerciale fortement déficitaire, une désindustrialisation profonde, et une incapacité à financer son modèle social.2. Une critique sévère de l'Union EuropéenneIl accuse l'Union européenne de ne pas protéger ses membres, d'agir comme une technocratie autoritaire, et de contribuer à la vassalisation économique des pays membres, en particulier la France, face aux États-Unis et à la Chine.3.

Arnaud Montebourg, ancien ministre de l'Économie, est aujourd'hui à la tête de plusieurs entreprises, dont la Compagnie des Amandes et Alfeor dans le nucléaire. Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de politique économique, de désindustrialisation, de réindustrialisation, de souveraineté et du rôle de l'Europe.J'ai voulu l'inviter car je constate depuis longtemps les limites de l'action politique en France face aux défis économiques, écologiques et sociaux. Et qui mieux qu'un ancien ministre de l'Économie – aujourd'hui entrepreneur engagé – pour en parler franchement ?Arnaud ne mâche pas ses mots : critique de l'Union Européenne, inquiet de la vassalisation économique de la France face à la Chine et aux États-Unis, il appelle à un sursaut productif, à la réindustrialisation, et à une refondation profonde de notre appareil productif. On n'est pas toujours d'accord, notamment sur l'écologie, mais sa vision force le respect, tant elle est construite et passionnée.Cet épisode est aussi l'occasion d'annoncer que je recevrai de plus en plus de personnalités politiques sur Vlan! – car il est temps de reconnecter les enjeux économiques et politiques à notre quotidien.Comme soulignée dans l'épisode, si vous souhaitez bénéficier d'une offre exclusive de 15% de réduction sur Saily, c'est ici : www.saily.com/vlan10 idées clefs :1. La France est en déclin économique majeurMontebourg dresse un constat alarmant : la France est en chute libre sur le plan économique, avec une balance commerciale fortement déficitaire, une désindustrialisation profonde, et une incapacité à financer son modèle social.2. Une critique sévère de l'Union EuropéenneIl accuse l'Union européenne de ne pas protéger ses membres, d'agir comme une technocratie autoritaire, et de contribuer à la vassalisation économique des pays membres, en particulier la France, face aux États-Unis et à la Chine.3. La nécessité absolue de réindustrialiser la FranceMontebourg milite pour une stratégie de redressement productif : relocaliser la production, créer de l'activité dans les territoires, et réorganiser toute l'économie autour de la production nationale plutôt que de la consommation.4.

Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and historian Michael J. Carley, retired Professeur at the Université de Montréal, for a discussion of his groundbreaking trilogy on the international crises of the 1930s: Stalin's Gamble, Stalin's Failed Alliance, and Stalin's Great Game. Drawing on decades of archival research, Carley challenges the familiar Cold War narrative that paints Stalin and Hitler as “dual dictators” and instead uncovers a forgotten history of the Soviet Union's sustained efforts to build a collective security alliance against Nazi Germany.Sachs and Carley explore how Britain, France, and the United States repeatedly rejected these overtures, shaped by anti-communism, imperial interests, and deep-seated prejudices that cast the USSR - not Hitler - as the greater threat. This strategic blindness, Carley argues, helped pave the way to World War II and has since been obscured by Western historiography and popular culture.This episode offers listeners a powerful narrative of missed opportunities, ideological blinders, and the consequences of mistrust among great powers. It is a story from the 1930s with striking resonance today, revealing how historical misunderstanding can shape international politics, and how the failures of statecraft then echo in our world now.The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

Send us a textWe head to Périgord—the historic heart of France's fertile Dordogne region—to map a four-color journey through Noir, Blanc, Pourpre, and Vert: cliffside castles, prehistoric cave art, limestone towns, vineyard hills, and green valleys stitched with old paper mills. Our guests, Stephanie Williamson and Emily Conyngham, know the area from the inside, with details and choices that shape a smarter, quieter trip.We start in Périgord Noir, using Sarlat's 14th-century streets and market days as our base, then climb to the hedged terraces of Marqueyssac for that golden-hour view as hot air balloons drift above the river. From there, we decode the caves—how to experience Lascaux's faithful replica without harming fragile art, and why early mornings and shoulder seasons pay off. In Périgord Blanc, limestone brightens the landscape around Perigueux, subterranean churches carve sanctuaries from rock, and truffle culture comes alive with local hunters and their Lagotto dogs. It's not just about the black diamonds; it's about stories passed down, guarded groves, and the rhythm of the forest.Périgord Pourpre brings the glass to your hand: Bergerac reds, Montbazillac's famed sweet whites, and wine trails that weave past châteaux like Lanquais, the “Unfinished Louvre.” We connect history to taste, from old trade routes to today's small estates where conversation is part of the pour. Finally, Périgord Vert opens the lungs: forest walks, rivers, mills, and quiet paths that invite you to slow down and notice. Along the way, we talk duck and foie gras, chestnuts, mushrooms, strawberries, and why summer reservations matter even in small towns. For would-be expats and for tourists, we end with memories covering language, cost of living, healthcare realities, and the charming community fabric that makes this quieter side of France so very special.***Our guests are Stephanie Williamson, CEO and founder of Raison d'être travel that plans customized itineraries worldwide; and Emily Conyngham, who moved to the region in 2014 from the United States and owns a shop in Monpazier called Atelier Charmont.Podcast host Lea Lane has traveled to over 100 countries, and has written nine books, including the award-winning Places I Remember  (Kirkus Reviews star rating, and  'one of the top 100 Indie books of  the year').

Frank time, let's talk about the people who give France its name.

TWA Flight 800. July 17, 1996. JFK International Airport. Trans World Airlines Flight 800 was to takeoff for Paris, France at around 7pm EST. Various issues kept it from taking off until 8:19pm. Just 12 minutes into the flight, at 8:31pm, the plane exploded. Efforts were made to rescue anyone alive in the Atlantic Ocean from the destroyed Boeing 747, but none of the 230 passengers and crew had survived. Terrorism was suspected early on as the United States was facing threats at home and abroad. As the investigation continued, though, the evidence began to point to an issue with the plane itself.

The ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro is transferred by armed forces to make his first appearance in a US court on drug trafficking and weapons charges, alongside his wife Cilia Flores. Both were seized by American forces from their compound in Caracas and flown to detention in New York, before being led in handcuffs into a Manhattan courtroom. The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says he's "concerned rules of international law have not been respected", as nations discuss the US actions at a UN Security Council meeting. And we learn more about Delcy Rodriguez, Maduro's right-hand woman, who is due to be sworn in as acting president of Venezuela.Also: a court in Paris convicts 10 people of cyberbullying France's first lady, Brigitte Macron, over false claims about her gender and sexuality; China and South Korea reaffirm their ties at a summit in Beijing; and we look back at the life of Eva Schloss, Holocaust survivor and Anne Frank's step-sister, who has died at the age of 96.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.
