At its height, Ming China was one of the most powerful states on Earth. Its cities bustled with merchants and scholars, its goods travelled across continents, and its treasure fleets sailed as far as East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. At the heart of this vast empire stood the Forbidden City- a spectacular symbol of imperial authority.But prosperity bred corruption, power created enemies, and rebellion threatened the dynasty from within. In this episode, Dan heads to Beijing to explore how an impoverished peasant founded a dynasty that ruled China for nearly three centuries and how war, political crisis, rebellion and environmental catastrophe ultimately brought it down. Warning: this episode refers to suicide.

1955In The Londinium Chronicles, Gaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos) explore the intersections of Roman history and modern geopolitics.Germanicus and Gaius Debate American Strategy In Rainy Autumn LondiniumGaius and Germanicus: Gathered at their expanded Londinium wine bar on a rainy autumn evening in 92 AD, the hosts reflect on municipal regulations, building codes, and upcoming gladiator games before analyzing modern geopolitical parallels. The discussion focuses on American imperial strategy, drawing comparisons between potential U.S. diplomacy toward Russia and Richard Nixon's historic opening to China during the Vietnam War. Germanicus explains that the U.S. has exhausted its initial policy options regarding the Ukrainian conflict, leaving Washington inclined to offer Russia economic incentives and territorial concessions to secure a peacetime transition. Such an agreement could facilitate a 40 percent drawdown of American troops in Europe, shift strategic burdens onto a stagnant European Union, and enlist Moscow as a mediating influence regarding Iran. In exchange, Vladimir Putin seeks a neutral, military-free Ukrainian buffer state to guarantee Russian security against European aggression. Reflecting on historical precedent, Gaius cites Queen Boudicca's catastrophic accommodation with Rome, warning that financial and development deals with an empire inevitably erode national sovereignty. However, Germanicus notes that unlike ancient Rome or modern peer competitors, contemporary America lacks the military doctrine, industrial capacity, and political fortitude required to prevail in prolonged peer conflicts. Consequently, Germany and Japan remain national security satellites following decades of post-war subjugation. (1)

1920 bedouinsSaudi Kingdom Fragility And Houthi Rise Discussed In Autumn LondiniumGaius and Germanicus: Continuing their dialogue at the Londinium wine bar, the hosts evaluate the impending collapse of Saudi Arabian legitimacy. Germanicus emphasizes that the House of Saud's authority remains inherently fragile, historically dependent on buying tribal loyalty and maintaining guardianship over Mecca and Medina. Citing the fourteenth-century historian Ibn Khaldun, Germanicus observes that urban luxury and extravagant wealth have rendered Saudi leadership soft and decadent, contrasting them sharply with the formidable North Yemeni Houthi insurgents. Described as authentic ghazi holy warriors, thirty-five million Houthis pose an existential threat to seventeen million native Saudis, whose society relies heavily on millions of disenfranchised immigrant laborers. Meanwhile, American imperial leadership displays a profound ignorance of foreign cultural realities and historical precedents, ignoring Egypt's disastrous 1962 military campaign in North Yemen. Attempts by Riyadh to form defense pacts with Pakistan and Turkey are deemed ineffective, as neither nation possesses the logistical capacity or willingness to deploy troops into Yemen. With American military assets retreating across the Persian Gulf and Washington granting strategic advantages to China, the Saudi regime faces imminent destabilization without external salvation. Consequently, sacred cities like Mecca and Medina face severe vulnerability as Saudi rulers fail to secure reliable military protection. (2)

With Presidents Xi and Trump expected to meet in the United States this week, Will Bain looks back on the history of trade between the two great nations. It's always been fraught with controversy but there's also been a need or desire to get along. President Nixon was the first to visit China in 1972 and spoke with passion about the possibilities for the future between them. Trade then grew quickly but it became very one sided as China developed as an industrial nation. There have been several attempts to curb its dominance but cheaper production also meant cheaper goods for consumers. Chad Bown, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute joins Will to assess how they have attempted to strike the right balance.

AI data centers are expanding across America, but who pays the bill? While Washington frames artificial intelligence as a critical race with China, Big Tech companies push for new AI regulations as local communities confront rising electricity demand, grid expansion, water use, and massive infrastructure costs. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano pulls back the digital curtain on the physical AI boom. Beyond consumer tools like ChatGPT, artificial intelligence is reshaping military power, intelligence, medicine, cybersecurity, and global competition. But the AI race also raises serious questions about regulatory capture, government surveillance, Fourth Amendment protections, and whether taxpayers and ratepayers will subsidize the infrastructure required by trillion-dollar technology companies. Discover why China's Communist Party fears AI-driven "cognitive warfare," why major AI companies are calling for greater federal regulation, and what a free-market framework could look like if hyperscale data centers had to finance their own energy needs while protecting local ratepayers and communities. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The U.S.-China AI Race: Why artificial intelligence now shapes military, economic, technological, and geopolitical power. The AI Regulation Battle: How regulatory capture could protect established Big Tech companies while making it harder for startups to compete. Government Surveillance and AI: How machine-speed analysis could expand government profiling and raise serious Fourth Amendment and due-process questions. AI Data Centers and Electricity Costs: Why hyperscale data centers could consume a major share of U.S. electricity and place new demands on local grids. A Free-Market Data Center Framework: How dedicated energy generation, SMRs, natural gas, water transparency, ratepayer protections, and enforceable community benefits could change the economics of the AI boom.

Welcome to this week's episode of the PEBCAK Podcast!  We've got four amazing stories this week so sit back, relax, and keep being awesome!  Be sure to stick around for our Dad Joke of the Week. (DJOW) Follow us on Instagram @pebcakpodcast   Please share this podcast with someone you know!  It helps us grow the podcast and we really appreciate it!   Simple 6 signup link https://simple6.co/r/CFUR98   Zero Data Retention is a contract term, not a law of physics - and the first CISO who finds that out the hard way is going to get fired for it. https://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/ https://www.axios.com/2026/09/08/openai-math-solution-navier-stokes-credit https://www.rubrik.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/26/rubrik-unveils-code-guardian https://www.tenable.com/blog/microsofts-september-2026-patch-tuesday-addresses-964-cves-cve-2026-81963-cve-2026-85880 Chamath predicted on All In that some poor CISO or CIO gets fired in the next few months for trusting a frontier lab's ZDR agreement, and Chris thinks that prediction ages well. ZDR promises no storage, no logging, no training - but it's best effort, enforced by contract language instead of a technical security boundary, and OpenAI just admitted that while unlikely, it cannot rule out that de-identified data from product usage helped improve the models behind its Navier-Stokes result. Worse, the legal bar is lower than email: a warrant gets your inbox, a subpoena gets your prompts, and you may never know. Ben's CISO take: the real problem isn't the frontier model you let in the front door - it's the vetted software that quietly became AI-enhanced after you accepted the risk. Excel with Copilot bolted on is Clippy on steroids. Can you disable it, can you cancel, can you get a refund, and what's your recourse when the vendor can't tell you where your data went? The flip side is real upside: Rubrik's new Code Guardian points a Claude Mythos 5 harness at an air-gapped copy of your repo and chains small, unremarkable findings into validated attack paths - three CVSS 3.0s become a 9.8. That same AI-assisted discovery is why Microsoft shipped 974 CVEs in a single September Patch Tuesday, and why "patch for patch's sake" is officially dead. Is the cure worse than the disease when the fix breaks your ERP?   An Anthropic researcher quit after six weeks at Anthropic and three years in pretraining, said AI could kill us all by 2030, and Chris is here to say the emperor has no evidence. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/09/anthropic-researcher-quits-ai-safety.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2026/09/09/anthropic-alignment-lead-warns-ai-could-kill-all-humans-as-researcher-quits/ Jacob Coxon's resignation thread hit 70 million views, Anthropic's own Alignment Science Lead Evan Hubinger publicly agreed with the >10% extinction estimate, and Congress started drafting. Chris isn't buying it: a whistleblower produces evidence a company tried to bury, and Coxon produced conjecture. Every doomer prediction so far has missed - no mass AI job losses, no water crisis, no energy apocalypse - and the scariest thing frontier agents have actually done is break into another lab to cheat on a test, which is high school antics, not an extinction event. Ben wants the smoking gun: what spooked you, what's the roadmap from lost agent control to dead planet? Both hosts land on human-in-the-loop as the real backstop: Robinhood makes Chris confirm an agentic trade three times, and poisoning a water plant still runs into a dozen downstream checks and someone eventually testing the water. Meanwhile the robots at the Chinese Robot Olympics can't stop running or climb stairs. The more likely motive is regulatory capture - write the RFP, win the deal, then pull the ladder up on open-weight competitors while China ignores the pause entirely, exactly like it ignored Paris while firing up a coal plant a week. Same playbook as Uber lobbying for a human in every driver's seat. AI is a nail gun, not an emerging god.   Dad Joke of the Week (DJOW)   Find the hosts on LinkedIn: Chris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chlouie/ Ben - https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamincorll/

Xi Jinping is known to be a ruthless leader. In the last five years alone, China's richest man, Jack Ma, China's defence minister and the country's foreign minister have all abruptly disappeared - some never to be seen in public again. Millions of Communist officials have been purged since Xi came to power. But one man was thought to be untouchable: the head of China's military forces, Zhang Youxia. A childhood friend of Xi's, Zhang was allowed to stay in his post, even as other military officials were disappearing. That is, until he, too, was suddenly gone. Celia Hatton investigates why Zhang was purged and looks inside and outside China for answers. She discovers there's a kind of pattern that dictators and autocratic rulers use to hold on to power. And this, she argues, can be a useful tool in predicting global military aggression.

President Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping for a high stakes state visit in Washington, opening a crucial window of diplomacy between the world's two largest economies. The meeting comes at a time when tech leaders are raising alarms over rapid artificial intelligence development, and lawmakers are debating how to manage catastrophic risks without falling behind geopolitical rivals like China. Michael Allen, Managing Director at Beacon Global Strategies, joins the Rundown to discuss what to expect from the Trump-Xi summit, the AI debate, critical minerals, and how military intelligence sharing factors into the relationship. Later, Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA), Chair of the bipartisan House Task Force on AI, joins to unpack whether Congress can realistically regulate artificial intelligence and why he remains an "AI optimist."

Viewpoint This Sunday with Malcolm Out Loud – How can Republicans and Trump get on point to drive enthusiasm for November? The US, Denmark, and Greenland have reached a historic security agreement. Edward Haugland, Christian Briggs, and Major Fred Galvin in a roundtable discussion. How can the US counter China's cognitive war against America?

In an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment, Donald Trump has announced an immediate ban on major news outlets including CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House press pool. This move follows explosive investigative reports covering hidden casualties in the war in Iran, AI-generated intelligence blunders that nearly triggered a broader conflict, and military tech leaks to China. Unable to refute the facts, the administration has resorted to retaliatory bans, escalating a decade-long crusade against independent journalism. Independent media has never been more important.

The Philippines and Pakistan are now the world's top solar panel importers. We find out why, and what other countries can learn from the boom!Cheap solar panels, mainly imported from China, are transforming lives and slashing electricity bills across Asia. In the last year, Filipinos have put up five times as many rooftop solar panels as the previous ten years combined. Installation companies are struggling to keep up with demand.In Pakistan, where the boom started earlier, solar power has reached every sector of the economy from the textile industry to farming. Solar has helped Pakistanis weather the current energy crisis and reduced the country's reliance on imported fossil fuels.The Climate Question Host Jordan Dunbar talks to Filipino climate journalist, Jhesset Enano, and Pakistani energy analyst, Zeeshan Ashfaq, from the Renewables First think tank in Islamabad.Producers: Jordan Dunbar and Melanie Stewart Smith Sound Mix: Tom Brignell and Dafydd Evans Editor: Simon Watts

They realized the ROLES imposed on them weren't working and didn't match the GIFTS God had given them. In China, they adjusted their expectations. One was called to Business. The other to Ministry. Neither their host country nor their home culture had prepared them to practice God's leading. Their epic adventure is told in The Rachel Addington Story on this episode of The Eden Podcast!Rachel and Bruce also talk about key passages that have been mishandled - resulting in misdirecting and harming those who have been caught up in unhealthy belief systems.

High-level U.S.–China talks are underway in New York on Sunday. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are tackling tariffs, artificial intelligence, and rare-earth minerals.President Donald Trump unveiled a new AI Force—and plans to appoint an AI czar. The announcement came as Google revealed its Gemini system accessed protected networks belonging to three real companies during a cybersecurity test.A major drone strike hit Moscow on Russia's election day. Meanwhile, new American sanctions on the Kremlin are now in effect.

A rare crossover: Jon Herold, Chris Paul, and Burning Bright are all together live at Gart for this one, and the energy shows. They kick off with Trump's latest true social posts about a potential third term before getting into a genuinely strange story about AI supposedly nudging the country toward conflict with China, and the very convenient timing of the outlet that broke it getting banned from the White House the same day. The hosts pick apart just how many layers of fakeness might be stacked on top of each other here, joking about "fake intelligence" reporting on itself. Being together in person adds some extra banter and inside jokes to the usual mix, plus a personal clip revisit near the end. It's a lighter, more freewheeling episode than the usual remote setup, but the news still gets covered.

Viewpoint This Sunday with Malcolm Out Loud – How can Republicans and Trump get on point to drive enthusiasm for November? The US, Denmark, and Greenland have reached a historic security agreement. Edward Haugland, Christian Briggs, and Major Fred Galvin in a roundtable discussion. How can the US counter China's cognitive war against America?

President Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping for a high stakes state visit in Washington, opening a crucial window of diplomacy between the world's two largest economies. The meeting comes at a time when tech leaders are raising alarms over rapid artificial intelligence development, and lawmakers are debating how to manage catastrophic risks without falling behind geopolitical rivals like China. Michael Allen, Managing Director at Beacon Global Strategies, joins the Rundown to discuss what to expect from the Trump-Xi summit, the AI debate, critical minerals, and how military intelligence sharing factors into the relationship. Later, Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA), Chair of the bipartisan House Task Force on AI, joins to unpack whether Congress can realistically regulate artificial intelligence and why he remains an "AI optimist."

CAPTION 1900 BAKU.California Coastline Destruction And Economic ShiftsJeff Bliss highlights severe coastal erosion along Southern California beaches during El Niño storms, noting how homeowners unsuccessfully battle nature despite strict Coastal Commission permit restrictions. Fuel prices in California have reached record highs, with low-grade gasoline exceeding six dollars per gallon and diesel climbing over eight to ten dollars, forcing gas stations to update tote boards. Meanwhile, Mayor Karen Bass discussed jurisdiction confusion between state and city lands during the Pacific Palisades fire. In Las Vegas, the old Royal Resort was demolished to make way for a parking lot. Furthermore, major entertainment companies like Paramount and tech firms are exiting California for business-friendly states like Tennessee. (1)Navigating Canada Trade Relations With AmericaConrad Black examines Canada's evolving trade dynamics following the Prime Minister's address to the European Parliament advocating for broader international partnerships. While expanding trade with Europe is positive, Black emphasizes Canada's deep economic vulnerability, given that nearly half of its GDP is tied to trade with the United Statescompared to just three percent for America. President Trump's rhetoric suggests America could produce goods domestically, threatening Canadian market access. To maintain competitiveness, Black supports internal economic reforms, such as reducing federal civil service numbers, offering corporate tax cuts, and bolstering industries like filmmaking. Ultimately, Canada must expand global trade while maintaining strong American relations. (2)Congress Must Aid Fed Against InflationVeronique de Rugy argues that the Federal Reserve cannot defeat inflation solely by raising interest rates without fiscal assistance from Congress. Higher interest rates increase national debt service payments, which have surged from $250 billion to over one trillion dollars, fueling further inflation through government borrowing. Drawing historical parallels to Paul Volcker in the 1980s, she highlights how monetary tightening requires legislative spending cuts and structural tax or Social Security reforms. With the US debt-to-GDP ratio now exceeding 100% and the Social Security trust fund facing depletion by 2032, Congress must exercise fiscal responsibility rather than relying on endless borrowing. (3)Inflation Drives Divided Spending In PennsylvaniaJim McTague shares observations on inflation while traveling across Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, illustrating a bifurcated K-shaped economy. High gasoline prices, averaging over $4.20 to $4.39 per gallon, are heavily squeezing lower-income families and reducing convenience store spending. Conversely, wealthier residents and affluent tourists continue spending heavily at specialty venues, such as Groff's butcher shop in Elizabethtown and boutique stores in Lititz. While local meat suppliers and pretzel shops report booming demand, even prosperous shoppers are beginning to display subtle penny-pinching habits on expensive goods like artisanal chocolates, reflecting widespread pressure from sustained energy costs. (4)Borgotaro Celebrates Porcini Mushrooms And CultureLorenzo Fiori explores Borgotaro in the Italian province of Parma, calling it the capital of porcini mushrooms owing to its rich forests, varying altitudes, and unique microclimate. He describes local culinary highlights, recommending pairings of dark and light porcini varieties preserved in olive oil alongside authentic Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, Parma ham, and ciabatta bread. Fiori highlights government initiatives encouraging travelers to visit smaller historic towns to relieve over-tourism pressures in major cities like Rome and Florence. Despite recent hot weather across Europe, localized late-afternoon thunderstorms, high humidity, and a rising moon have produced optimal conditions for a plentiful mushroom harvest. (5)Sudan Conflict Faces Foreign Power InterferenceHussain Abdul-Hussain details the ongoing civil war in Sudan between General Burhan's Sudanese Armed Forces(SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces. Foreign powers are actively influencing the conflict; Turkey supports the SAF through Muslim Brotherhood ties and drone strikes launched from Egyptian airfields. At the UN Security Council, the United States, France, and Britain are advocating for an expanded, nationwide arms embargo. However, Russia and China oppose the measure, with Russia eyeing strategic Red Sea port access and gold exports. With neither side capable of controlling the vast territory, the war has reached a stalemate, resulting in a de facto partition. (6)Syria Resolves Nuclear Noncompliance Case InvestigationAndrea Stricker discusses the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) unanimously closing Syria's formal nuclear non-compliance finding from 2011 after Damascus permitted access to historical nuclear sites. Inspectors visited the destroyed Al-Kibar reactor at Deir ez-Zor and Site 99, where they uncovered 73 tons of undeclared natural uranium metal, fuel rods, and a graphite moderator. While placing these materials under safeguards represents positive progress, critical questions persist regarding North Korean assistance, potential plutonium reprocessing, and untracked equipment. Consequently, the United States emphasizes that the IAEA investigation remains incomplete and demands detailed further reporting from the Director General. (7)Ghosts Of Hiroshima Uncovers Atomic HistoryCharles Pellegrino, author of Ghosts of Hiroshima, traces the origin of nuclear weapons from theoretical physics concepts to the devastating bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He compares the 27-kiloton Nagasaki bomb to Hiroshima's smaller device, explaining how intense heat, shockwaves, and toxic black rain caused long-term genetic damage and lingering fatalities. Pellegrino chronicles the lives of double-survivors (hibakusha) like Tsutomu Yamaguchiand Kenshi Hirata, who endured both blasts yet faced intense social ostracization in post-war Japan. The narrative also covers the forced internment and unjust deportation of Japanese-American families back to devastated Hiroshima ruins. (8)Saudi Nuclear Ambitions Spark Congressional OversightHenry Sokolski analyzes the controversial US-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement, which permits Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium domestically. Congressional leaders from both parties are demanding transparency regarding classified documents stored in Capitol facilities that conceal vendor lists and fuel supply terms. (9)Commercial Space Operations Advance Rapidly WorldwideBob Zimmerman reviews commercial space developments, beginning with SpaceX's upcoming Starship 14 orbital test flight designed to deploy 26 Starlink version 3 satellites. (10)

The biggest story in tech right now is the spiraling debate about AI safety and regulation. The CEOs of all these companies have issued various calls to slow down development and develop regulation, including asking for antitrust exemptions so they can all coordinate on safety issues. So to make sense of it all, I called Jonathan Kanter, the former antitrust chief for the U.S. Department of Justice in the Biden Administration. There's a lot going on, and we really got into the weeds of how all this regulation might work, and how it might interact with antitrust law, competition policy, and our relationship with China.

Most Turks believe being Turkish and being Muslim are inseparably intertwined. Pastor Ramazan Arkan was an adult before he ever met a Turkish Christian. Then he became friends with a coworker who had left Islam to follow Jesus. That friendship started Ramazan on a journey that eventually led to the cross of Christ.  Pastor Ramazan is now leading the Association of Protestant Churches in Turkey, and he is the pastor of Antalya Evangelical Churches in Antalya, Türkiye. Listen as he shares how he came to Christ, first asking questions about Islam and the Quran and then irresistibly drawn by the loving relationships he saw when he was invited to a local church. "The most effective way to share the gospel message is through relationship," Pastor Ramazan says. You'll hear how his name, Ramazan (Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting) is both a blessing and a curse. He'll also describe the Christian persecution when he left Islam for Christianity, and more about what our persecuted brothers and sisters in Türkiye face for their faith in Jesus. Pastor Ramazan will tell the story of the night he became a Christian and felt God's presence and Word come alive to him. He'll also explain why it's important to reveal the cost of following Christ to new Muslim background believers early on, why his church doesn't baptize new believers immediately, and the sad story of one new Christian who went back to Islam after seeing the high cost of following Christ.

I recently traveled to the Pacific island nation of Palau, home to one of the deadliest battlefields of World War II. And geography still matters: Today, it's a security flashpoint for the United States and its closest Pacific allies.Palau is one of 12 countries in the world that maintain formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Because of this and its strategic position, Palau faces continual and mounting pressure from Beijing.Veteran Palauan journalist and Compass Point Institute founder Kambes Kesolei says that China wants “to appear like the good guys.” Indeed, he continues, “they just want to weaken your spirit.”In this episode, he breaks down Palau's unique history and relationship with the United States—and what's at stake as Beijing expands its ambitions in the region.Why doesn't Palau just give in?“Palauans are very loyal people,” Kesolei said. “They—like the allies they have chosen—value democracy, human rights, and freedom of religion.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Due to our ongoing China conferences, I am unable to record a new podcast this week. What follows is a lightly edited show from 2024, that focuses primarily on Guangxi, the province where the grandfather of my current travel partner, Dan Bausum, lived and served.

Donate to help cover the expenses for these Chinese pastors/leaders/missionaries: MCI3.org (or contact me for more info)! On today's podcast I discuss some of the latest rule changes for tourist visits to China. Then I talk in depth about Guangxi, including my first and only visit to the karst mountains of Guilin (2018), concluding with fascinating stories from the missionaries and martyrs who served in Guangxi before, including my friend’s grandfather.

Sam Lyman of the Bitcoin Policy Institute joins Marty Bent to break down the collapse of the CLARITY Act, the stablecoin fight dividing community banks and Wall Street, and new bank charters reshaping crypto regulation. Lyman details his investigation into Chinese-funded propaganda campaigns — linked to financier Neville Singham — driving opposition to AI data centers, and unveils "data center dividends," a plan modeled on the Alaska Permanent Fund to pay rural households thousands per year. The conversation also tackles effective altruism, AI doomerism, the Anthropic-OpenAI duopoly, open source AI, and the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill ARMA.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – America's adversaries understand this.

Finally the Delingpod does Atlantis. Author and historian Michael Le Flem guides James through the evidence, from Plato to Atlantic geography to the works of clairvoyant Edgar Cayce and the visionary fiction writer Frederick Oliver. Did our ancient ancestors really have monorails, flying craft, wireless energy and crystal towers? If they were so advanced how come they allowed themselves to be destroyed? Could this be the fate that shortly awaits us too - and for similar reasons? Also on the menu: what it's like being a professor in China; the riddle of the Sphinx; the Hall of Records; the value of ancient myth; and - a great postscript - Adolf Hitler's post-war years in Argentina.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts Session 11 on The Memoirs of Robert & Mabel Williams: African American Freedom, Armed Resistance, & International Solidarity. We'll pick up with Chapter 57 where Williams was caged, threatened with being force fed, and and accused of being an airplane hijacker by Whites in Britain A recap of last week's session focused on : Even in Africa, YT Is In Charge: While visiting Tanzania, Williams had trouble accessing fund from his bank account without being robbed via the exchange rate. All of his "black brothers" at the bank insisted on looting his funds. Williams insisted on speaking to The Man in charge - who, of course, was White. Everyone Thinks Black People Are Dumb: While on the African continent, a White Man pontificated on the backward nature of China. Williams interrupted to inform the Racist Suspect that he had just spent months living well in Red China. The White Man confessed to having never stepped foot in the so called country. Williams The Hijacker: While attempting to return to the US, Williams was detained and incarcerated in Britain. They accused him of being a potential terrorist and a cousin of Osama Bin Laden. Williams began his hunger strike to protest his Racist detention. The Racist wankers threatened to force feed him just like Williams was back in Cuba (Guantánamo Bay). #TheCOWS17Years #RobertAndMabelWilliams #MilitaryIntelligence #CounterRacism #RadioFreeDixie #GlobalWhiteSupremacy #NaziPOWs #StockadeDeception #RacialRealism #MonroeNC Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Full Text of Readings Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 133 The Saint of the day is Saints Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang, and Companions Saints Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang, and Companions' Stories The first native Korean priest, Andrew Kim Taegon was the son of Christian converts. Following his baptism at the age of 15, Andrew traveled 1,300 miles to the seminary in Macao, China. After six years, he managed to return to his country through Manchuria. That same year he crossed the Yellow Sea to Shanghai and was ordained a priest. Back home again, he was assigned to arrange for more missionaries to enter by a water route that would elude the border patrol. He was arrested, tortured, and finally beheaded at the Han River near Seoul, the capital. Andrew Kim Taegon's father Ignatius Kim, was martyred during the persecution of 1839, and was beatified in 1925. Paul Chong Hasang, a lay apostle and married man, also died in 1839 at age 45. Among the other martyrs in 1839 was Columba Kim, an unmarried woman of 26. She was put in prison, pierced with hot tools and seared with burning coals. She and her sister Agnes were disrobed and kept for two days in a cell with condemned criminals, but were not molested. After Columba complained about the indignity, no more women were subjected to it. The two were beheaded. Peter Ryou, a boy of 13, had his flesh so badly torn that he could pull off pieces and throw them at the judges. He was killed by strangulation. Protase Chong, a 41-year-old nobleman, apostatized under torture and was freed. Later he came back, confessed his faith and was tortured to death. Christianity came to Korea during the Japanese invasion in 1592 when some Koreans were baptized, probably by Christian Japanese soldiers. Evangelization was difficult because Korea refused all contact with the outside world except for taking taxes to Beijing annually. On one of these occasions, around 1777, Christian literature obtained from Jesuits in China led educated Korean Christians to study. A home Church began. When a Chinese priest managed to enter secretly a dozen years later, he found 4,000 Catholics, none of whom had ever seen a priest. Seven years later there were 10,000 Catholics. Religious freedom came to Korea in 1883. Besides Andrew Kim Taegon and Paul, Pope John Paul II canonized 98 Koreans and three French missionaries who had been martyred between 1839 and 1867, when he visited Korea in 1984. Among them were bishops and priests, but for the most part they were lay persons: 47 women and 45 men. Reflection We marvel at the fact that the Korean Church was strictly a lay Church for a dozen years after its birth. How did the people survive without the Eucharist? It is no belittling of this and other sacraments to realize that there must be a living faith before there can be a truly beneficial celebration of the Eucharist. The sacraments are signs of God's initiative and response to faith already present. The sacraments increase grace and faith, but only if there is something ready to be increased.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

AI chat bots have reportedly been caught leaving secret messages for future versions of themselves, advising them on how to deceive and avoid oversight by humans. This comes just days after the CEO of Anthropic, makers of the Claude AI, called for an industry wide agreement to slow development of artificial intelligence. The problem with this idea, of course, is that China's developers will never agree to it. In addition, we learned this week that the United States narrowly avoided a Cuban Missile Crisis–level incident in which US special forces, who were already in the air, almost boarded a Chinese ship bound for Iran because an AI incorrectly identified cargo on board the ship as nuclear weapons components. Now, we can categorize these behaviors as "hallucinating" or simple errors, but what if, as we have speculated previously, these AI chat bots are prone to being controlled by an external entity—in other words, a demon? The good news is the Lord has seen this coming from the beginning of creation. We're not too concerned about this, but it is worth watching because these tools will be very useful to a future global government. We also discussed new research at Stanford where researchers created chimeric mice with brains that were about half composed of human cells. While researchers were quick to assure us that they are not human in any sense, it raises the moral and ethical question of where the animal ends in the human begins. Also, how far will researchers go in creating these chimeras? We're asking for your help to Build Bunker Better!

Titans on Tomorrow Ep. 3 with guest Andrew Ross Sorkin Presented by Shopify: https://shopify.com/titans Dario Amodei frantically warned the world we need to "Pace the Frontier" of AI. His biggest competitor Sam Altman immediately agreed. Both are now asking Washington to slow down the very technology making them rich. Is their cry of imminent danger to humanity real, or the most sophisticated moat-building to protect personal profits in corporate history? Ben Shapiro sits down with Andrew Ross Sorkin–DealBook founder, CNBC Squawk Box co-anchor, and author of Too Big to Fail, for a rare, direct read on the people actually running the AI race.  Episode 3 of Titans on Tomorrow covers the real motives behind Amodei's essay, what the Hugging Face/OpenAI hacking incident proves about AI danger in the real world, why regulatory capture might be the biggest untold story of the moment, the China question nobody in Washington can answer, whether the AI boom is 2008 or 1929 all over again for Wall Street investors, and where Sorkin, who has JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon and Citadel's Ken Griffin on speed dial, thinks the smart money is moving. - - - Today's Sponsors: Shopify - Whether you're building your first business or your next one, start your FREE Trial at https://shopify.com/titans Cardiff - If you've been in business for at least a year, and are pulling in $20,000 a month in revenue, apply now for up to $500,000 in same day business funding at https://Cardiff.co/ben Real growth.
