Last time we spoke about the Battle for South Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands. In August 1945, as Japan teetered on the edge of destruction following the atomic bombings, a desperate situation unfolded. The Soviet Union launched a sudden invasion of Manchuria, catching Japanese forces off guard. On August 14, Japan's decision to surrender was made, announced to the world the following day. However, the Kwantung Army resisted fiercely, engaging in frantic evacuations. In South Sakhalin, Japanese defenders clashed with advancing Soviet troops, facing overwhelming odds. By August 18, chaos reigned on the Japanese side, with forces surrendering and civilians in panic. As the Soviets pushed forward, the situation became increasingly dire for Japan. Despite valiant resistance, the imminent defeat became clear. In a moment of critical decision, Emperor Hirohito accepted the surrender terms, officially sealing Japan's fate and marking the end of the Pacific War. However the Soviets had not yet stopped their onslaught.  This episode is the Soviet Victory in Asia Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945.  We are drawing near to the real conclusion of this series! Japan has officially surrendered, however the Soviets are not done just yet. East asia is a delicious piece of cake, laid wide open and Stalin intends to take every piece he can grab before the curtain falls. Now as we last left off it was August 18, and General Yamada's Kwantung Army had surrendered to the Soviet forces led by Marshal Vasilevsky, who were advancing rapidly through Manchuria. Yet, some Japanese units, like those at Kalgan, continued to resist occupation until the month's end. On August 19, following Yamada's announcement that all military operations had ceased, a Soviet delegation arrived at Hsinking.  A daring operation took place, where a 225-strong detachment from the 6th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, part of the 5th Guards Tank Corps, was airlifted to the city's main airfield. This mission, along with others, was carried out under orders from Marshal Vasilevsky on August 18, following the commander's initial offer of surrender from the Kwantung Army. Vasilevsky's directive was urgent: “The Japanese resistance is broken, and the challenging road conditions hinder the swift advance of our main forces. We need to deploy specially formed, fast-moving, and well-equipped units to capture Changchun, Mukden, Jilin, and Harbin immediately. These units should remain flexible for future missions, regardless of their distance from the main forces.”The push to accelerate operations came directly from Stalin himself. In Kulichkin's biography of Marshal Vasilevsky, he recounts a pivotal phone call on August 15. Stalin was informed that the Japanese had “lost command and control” and were unable to mount a strong defense, with their forces divided into several fragmented groups. Vasilevsky confidently stated, “Even a miracle cannot save the Japanese from total defeat,” stressing the need to maintain the momentum of the offensive. Stalin's response was straightforward: “Good. We need to increase the pace. What proposals do you have?” Vasilevsky revealed plans to use airborne assault forces against larger cities like Harbin, Changchun, Jilin, and Mukden, alongside advanced mobile units across all combined arms armies. These units, consisting of tanks and assault guns, were fully equipped with desantniki, ready to engage firmly in the ongoing operations. The landing at Shenyang revealed a remarkable twist of fate. Waiting at the airfield for evacuation to Japan was none other than the recently abdicated Emperor Puyi of Manchukuo. On August 15, 1945, Puyi tuned in to the radio and listened to Emperor Hirohito's address announcing Japan's surrender. In this historic speech, the Showa Emperor referred to the Americans' use of a "most unusual and cruel bomb," which had just devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For Puyi, this was the first revelation of the atomic bombings, information that the Japanese had conveniently withheld from him until that moment. The aircraft carrying Major Chelyshev's force, escorted by fighter planes, landed at 1:15 PM without any opposition and captured him. This small unit's survival hinged on remaining unchallenged, and they successfully secured the airfield. They also freed several Allied personnel held at the nearby Hoten prisoner-of-war camp. As soon as the landing was secured, additional reinforcements were airlifted in later that day, led by General Kravchenko, the commander of the 6th Guards Tank Army. He formally accepted the city's surrender, and the Soviets then transported Puyi to the Siberian town of Chita.  Meanwhile, Vasilevsky's ground offensive pressed on, mostly unopposed, though some resistance persisted. In the Transbaikal Front, Marshal Malinovsky's General Pliyev led his cavalry-mechanized units against the Japanese forces at Kalgan. Other units reached Jehol and accepted the surrender of the 108th Division. General Danilov's 17th Army secured the Shanhaiguan coast, while General Managarov's 53rd Army pushed towards Kailu. The main force of General Kravchenko's 6th Guards Tank Army regrouped at Tungliao and Kaitung, preparing to advance south toward Mukden. General Lyudnikov's 39th Army steadily approached Changchun, confronting the bypassed 107th Division, and General Luchinsky's 36th Army occupied Tsitsihar, accepting the surrender of the 136th Independent Mixed Brigade. At the same time, on General Purkayev's 2nd Far Eastern Front, General Teryokhin's 2nd Red Banner Army continued its siege of the Aihun fortified region. Meanwhile, a forward detachment moved slowly south through the Lesser Khinghan Mountains. General Mamonov's 15th Army began capturing and processing prisoners from the many retreating Japanese units after a successful amphibious assault secured Sansing. The Amur Flotilla supported the army's push towards Harbin, while General Pashkov's 5th Rifle Corps finally reached Poli, which had already been occupied by other Soviet units. In Marshal Meretskov's 1st Far Eastern Front, forward detachments of General Zakhvatayev's 35th Army began arriving at Linkou, focusing on the surrender of Japanese units in the area. Rear elements effectively eliminated the last traces of enemy resistance in the Hutou fortified area.  After a challenging struggle through the wetlands and the capture of Mishan on August 12, advanced detachments of the 35th Army's main force, the 66th and 363rd Rifle Divisions, continued their advance against minimal opposition. The situation was starkly different to their rear, where the 1056th Rifle Regiment of the 264th Rifle Division, supported by the heavily reinforced 109th Fortified Region, worked to dismantle the now-isolated Hutou fortified area. Despite the dire circumstances, the garrison refused to surrender. Thus, the focus shifted to systematically eliminating their defenses, which became a painstaking task. The attackers deployed an artillery destruction group, secured air supremacy, and utilized well-trained assault formations. Their techniques included pouring kerosene or gasoline into ventilation shafts of underground structures, sometimes in alarming quantities. For instance, two tonnes of gasoline were recorded being poured into a single installation before ignition was applied. Despite the brutal and methodical obliteration of their positions, the defenders continued to ignore orders to surrender. Notably, on August 18, a Japanese prisoner was sent under a flag of truce to inform those still holding out that the war was officially over; tragically, he was hacked to death by a sword-wielding officer. Ultimately, this stubbornness led to catastrophic consequences: about 3,000 defenders were killed, blasted and burned, before a small number finally capitulated. Additionally, advanced detachments of General Beloborodov's 1st Red Banner Army reached Shangzhi before continuing towards Harbin, and forward elements of General Krylov's 5th Army pushed on toward Jilin. General Chistyakov's 25th Army commenced disarming General Murakami's 3rd Army, while the 10th Mechanized Corps advanced rapidly westward, crossing the Laoilin Mountain passes to arrive at Tunhua by nightfall. Over in North Korea, the 335th Rifle Division successfully landed in Chongjin, as General Kabanov's Southern Defense Region prepared for an assault on Gensan. In South Sakhalin, despite the surrender of the 125th Regiment and ongoing negotiations with General Mineki's 88th Division, Soviet forces opted to proceed with the planned landing at Maoka. Consequently, Admiral Andreyev's Northern Pacific Flotilla departed from Sovetskaya Gavan in the morning, carrying the bulk of the 113th Rifle Brigade along with a battalion of marines for the long and challenging voyage to Maoka. On Shumshu Island, as General Gnechko's forces were landing their artillery to renew their assault, Japanese officers unexpectedly approached the Soviets under flags of truce, carrying a letter from General Tsutsumi proposing negotiations for surrender. Representatives from both sides began discussions, and by 6 PM, the 91st Division formally surrendered the garrisons of Shumshu, Paramushir, and Onekotan. On August 20, Gnechko dispatched a small detachment on six vessels to seize control of the airfield at Kataoka. However, as they crossed the Second Kuril Strait, batteries on both sides of the narrow waterway opened heavy fire on the Soviet ships, forcing them to withdraw. This breach of the surrender agreement sparked a renewed offensive at 1 PM, coordinated with air strikes. The bases at Kataoka and Kashiwabar were bombed by 61 aircraft, which dropped over 200 bombs, enabling ground troops to push forward up to six kilometers. It was not until General Tsutsumi intervened that the Soviets were assured the Japanese would indeed lay down their arms. Meanwhile, Andreyev's convoy arrived at Maoka harbor on the morning of August 20, successfully landing the first wave of marines amid heavy fog. They quickly spread out and secured the area while the second and third waves of infantry followed behind. By noon, the port area was secured, and the marines began advancing eastward into the city, supported by infantry on their flanks. Taken by surprise, the Japanese defenders were ultimately compelled to retreat, with the 113th Rifle Brigade pursuing them through the mountains to the villages of Futamata and Osaka. In Manchuria, between August 20 and 21, Vasilevsky's units continued their advance to occupy the region's main centers. Stalin urged for greater speed, fearing that any delay might prompt President Truman to order General MacArthur's air-naval assault forces to land there. Notably, Pliyev's first column successfully captured Kalgan, while his second column moved south toward Beijing, securing Gubeikou at the border. Located in one of the passes through the Great Wall, marking the border between Manchukuo and China, the town was garrisoned by Japanese units. These forces surrendered upon the approach of the Soviet troops, who then quickly advanced toward Beijing, about 100 kilometers away. Although not the former capital itself, this area was under the control of Chinese Communist forces known as the 8th Route Army, who aligned with the Soviets. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek was acutely aware that any Japanese capitulation to the Communists in northern China would allow the latter to occupy vital territories, making their removal difficult. Consequently, he commanded the 8th Route Army not to accept any Japanese surrenders, insisting they only surrender to Nationalist forces, with dire punishments threatened for defiance. Adding to the complexity, the Soviet Union and China had signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance, discussed at Yalta, just six days earlier on August 14. This treaty promised mutual respect for sovereignty and non-interference in each other's internal affairs. The Soviets had also committed to providing “moral support and aid in military supplies and other material resources” exclusively to the National Government as the legitimate central authority of China. Thus, a significant political and military predicament loomed. However, the Soviets quickly extricated themselves from this situation when Malinovsky issued an order forbidding Pliyev's forces from crossing the border. As Pliyev recounted, his formations were poised just halfway between Chengde and Beijing, needing “only one 'leap' to the Chinese capital.” He noted, “I had to suspend the offensive and move north beyond the Great Wall.” Units from the 6th Guards Tank Army occupied both Changchun and Mukden, initiating a rail movement towards Port Arthur and Dairen. For those curious, at Pingfan and Changchun, General Shiro Ishii and the remaining personnel from Units 731 and 100 were captured by Soviet forces. In a tragic turn of events, all test subjects were murdered and cremated, while the Japanese attempted to destroy evidence of their facilities but were unable to do so in time. Following their capture, the Soviets launched an extensive campaign to uncover the secrets behind Units 731 and 100, leading to the Khabarovsk Trial. If you want to learn more about what I would call “japans operation paperclip”, the secret dealings between Unit 731 and the Allies after the war, I did make an episode about it over on my patreon. Its pretty gruesome stuff so big disclaimer there.' The Soviets arrived to Dairen on 24 August, although these places had surrendered to air-landed forces two days earlier. This was, no doubt, much to the relief of Stalin, as these were amongst the main locations where he most feared American intervention. Indeed, on the day of the landing he had told Vasilevsky to ‘keep in mind' the fact that any delay could mean ‘Truman will order General MacArthur to land his naval assault forces'. The long-resisting 135th Independent Mixed Brigade finally surrendered at Aihun, while advanced units of the 2nd Red Banner Army secured Nencheng and Peian before pushing towards Tsitsihar and Harbin. Forward detachments from the 15th and 1st Red Banner Armies also reached the already-occupied Harbin. Furthermore, advanced units of the 5th and 25th Armies arrived in Jilin to reinforce the air-landed detachment there. Additionally, units from the 88th Rifle Corps and the 10th Mechanized Corps began their southward movement into Korea, heading toward the 38th Parallel. In North Korea, Kabanov dispatched a marine battalion and other units, totaling around 2,000 men, to occupy the fortified port of Gensan on August 20. The following morning, the landing force arrived and disembarked without opposition. However, the Japanese garrison refused to surrender until orders from higher command were received. Meanwhile, Japanese troops began to peacefully surround the harbor area, while Soviet sailors and marines, in a similarly calm manner, took up their defensive positions. As Kabanov noted, “An incomprehensible situation arose, neither peace nor war. The enemy has numerical superiority, but he neither fights nor wants to capitulate.” Unsurprisingly, he added, “the night passed in suspense.” The surreal situation was resolved when Rear Admiral Hori Yugoro and Colonel Tado boarded the frigate EK-3 to meet with Captain Studenichnikov on the morning of August 22. During their discussions, they attempted to negotiate terms, but the Soviet captain issued a bold threat of an immediate large-scale air strike and the initiation of hostilities at the port unless they surrendered unconditionally. While the latter was likely an empty threat, the Japanese officers signed the surrender agreement nonetheless. The process of surrendering the garrison began that evening and continued until August 26. In total, the Soviets captured more than 7,000 officers and men, along with all their military equipment. Looking toward the northern Kuriles, Japanese forces on Shumshu finally began to lay down their weapons on the afternoon of August 22, as Gnechko's units spread out to secure the island. In Manchuria, airborne detachments were also landed at Dairen and Port Arthur to secure these key administrative centers before the Americans could take control. Vanguard units of the 6th Guards Tank Army arrived to reinforce them two days later. Meanwhile, in South Sakhalin, heavy fighting persisted at Futamata despite Mineki's ceasefire agreement on August 22. Soviet air strikes supported the ground forces when weather conditions allowed, and the Japanese finally surrendered by the nightfall of August 23. At the same time, Andreyev dispatched three marine battalions on a small convoy to capture Otomari. However, a fierce storm forced the flotilla to seek refuge in the port of Honto on the morning of August 24. Once the storm subsided that evening, the force left a company of marines to garrison the port and resumed their voyage to Otomari, arriving there on the morning of August 25, just as elements of the 113th Rifle Brigade reached the eastern outskirts of the city. By noon, the 88th Division surrendered, and the city was secured. Shortly after, the 214th Tank Brigade arrived at Toyohara to secure South Sakhalin's administrative center. Thus, the South Sakhalin operation concluded with nearly 18,320 Japanese soldiers taken prisoner. Yet, this wouldn't mark the end of operations for General Cheremisov's 16th Army. Stalin pushed for the 87th and 135th Rifle Brigades, along with three marine battalions, to assemble at Otomari and execute amphibious landings on the southern Kurile Islands, specifically, Etorofu, Shikotan, and Kunashiri, and the islets of the Habomai group. The failure to include the Kuril Islands in the areas designated for surrender to Soviet forces in Truman's General Order No. 1, originally issued on August 15, exacerbated Stalin's inherent suspicions regarding American intentions. Consequently, Vasilevsky was instructed to organize landings on the Kurils, ensuring that, similar to Port Arthur, Soviet occupation would manifest physically through boots on the ground. Despite Truman's subsequent correction of the omission, mistrust endured, as did the directive to occupy the islands. However, where Stalin hesitated was concerning Hokkaido. Truman's somewhat abrupt rejection of Stalin's demand for a portion of Hokkaido undoubtedly irritated the Soviet dictator, yet he chose not to take further action. Scholarly debates have arisen around the rationale behind Stalin's ‘retreat.' When viewed within the framework of his stated geostrategic goal of securing the Soviet Union's sea lines of communication in the Pacific, it becomes understandable. Churchill once likened the Soviet Union's challenges in this regard to those of a “giant with his nostrils pinched.” A look at the map reveals that control of the Kurils would significantly alleviate this pressure in the Far East, making their acquisition crucial. Similarly, occupying southern Sakhalin would allow the Soviet Union to control the northern side of the La Pérouse Strait, which connects the Sea of Japan to the Sea of Okhotsk. The strait's opposite shore is formed by the northern coast of Hokkaido, and possessing this area would undeniably enhance the security of communications and is therefore highly desirable. However, any unilateral action in this regard would incur a significant and public breach with the Americans, the consequences of which could not be easily predicted. Given that Stalin's claim to the Kurils was firmly based on the agreement reached at Yalta, an agreement which Truman honored, his choice to avoid completely rupturing relations with the U.S. was motivated by strategic self-interest. Consequently, Andreyev's flotilla, carrying these units, departed Otomari on August 27, reaching the west coast of Etorofu at 3:15 AM on August 28. The landing, conducted using small boats, went unopposed and was met by the surrender of General Ogawa's 89th Division. The occupation of the other islands was also peaceful, with the Soviets securing Kunashiri by September 2, and Shikotan and the Habomai islets by September 5. The remaining northern Kurile Islands surrendered without incident as elements of Gnechko's Kamchatka forces arrived at Paramushir on August 24, Onekotan and Shiashkotan on August 25, Matsuwa by August 26, Shimushiru on August 27, and Uruppu by August 29. In total, 63,840 prisoners were taken throughout the Kuriles. On August 24, air-landed detachments arrived at the cities of Pyongyang and Kange to secure the last administrative centers in North Korea. Two days later, units of the 25th Army reached Gensan. With this move, albeit with some geographical liberties, Chistyakov asserted that "the troops of the 25th Army, on the orders of Marshal Meretskov, reached the 38th Parallel.” In the days that followed, units of General Kushibuchi's 34th Army gradually began to surrender and disarm. Finally, in Manchuria, most of Yamada's units had surrendered and were being disarmed. However, one unit continued to resist until the end of the month. The bypassed and encircled 107th Division was engaged in fierce fighting for survival against the 94th Rifle Corps. Due to a lack of communication with Kwantung Army Headquarters, they did not receive any ceasefire orders. As a result, a staff officer from General Iida's 30th Army was dispatched by plane to locate the division and deliver the ceasefire orders. The 107th Division was found near Chalai, and the plane made a forced landing between the Japanese troops and the opposing Soviet forces. The staff officer successfully delivered the orders terminating hostilities in that sector on August 30, which the Japanese troops promptly complied with. By September 1, units of the 53rd Army occupied Kailu, Chaoyang, Fuhsin, and Gushanbeitseifu, while forward detachments secured the Chinchou area on the Liaotung Peninsula. This marked the conclusion of the Manchurian campaign, with the Soviets claiming to have captured between 594,000 and 609,000 prisoners of war across Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, and North Korea. The captured Japanese military personnel were subjected to forced labor in Siberian internment camps, as well as camps in Sakhalin, Manchuria, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia. A significant number were assigned to the construction of the Baikal-Amur Mainline. Unfortunately, the treatment of prisoners of war was deemed inhumane and mishandled. Many suffered from malnutrition, overwork, cave-ins, floods, unsanitary working conditions leading to epidemics, harsh winter weather, violent guards, and brutal suppression of even mild resistance. Disturbingly, some Japanese prisoners were even lynched by their fellow captives. Estimates suggest that between 60,000 and 347,000 Japanese died in captivity. Although 18,616 prisoners were released in 1946, the process of repatriating prisoners of war extended into the 1950s. Those who remained after 1950 were detained for various convictions. However, their release began in 1953 under different amnesties. Following Josef Stalin's death and the subsequent Khrushchev Thaw, the Soviet attitude toward the remaining Japanese prisoners shifted significantly. Accompanied by Soviet officials, they were taken on tours of cities and allowed to purchase gifts for their families. Before repatriation, a banquet in Khabarovsk, hosted by Nikolai Gagen, included high-ranking prisoners such as Jun Ushiroku as attendees. The last major group of 1,025 Japanese POWs was released on December 23, 1956. After that, some Japanese POWs were released in small groups, with some only returning in the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Interestingly, some prisoners who had been held for decades, many of whom had married and started families during their captivity, chose not to return permanently to Japan. The Soviets committed numerous war crimes during their invasion and occupation of Manchuria and other Japanese territories. During the invasion, Soviet soldiers killed and raped Japanese civilians and looted civilian property. Following the Soviet invasion of Manchuria on August 9, 1945, a large number of Japanese citizens residing in the region sought to repatriate to Japan. The Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers supervised this mass movement and, in October 1945, delegated responsibility to Japan's Ministry of Health and Welfare. The Kwantung Army, which was meant to protect the Japanese settlers in Manchuria, quickly retreated and abandoned them. With most able-bodied men drafted into the army, the majority of those left behind were women, children, and the elderly, rendering them highly vulnerable to attacks from Soviet soldiers and local Chinese seeking revenge.In Soviet-occupied Manchuria and North Korea, the repatriation of Japanese civilians was characterized by violent expulsions, accompanied by widespread looting, mass killings, and rampant sexual violence perpetrated by both Soviet soldiers and local populations seeking retribution. Many Japanese civilians succumbed to starvation, disease, mass killings, and mass suicides. Approximately 223,000 Japanese civilians residing in the Soviet-occupied zones died, most within a year and a half after August 9, 1945. Regarding the extensive rape of Japanese women and girls by Soviet soldiers, a former Japanese soldier, Wakatsuki Yoshio, detailed these grim experiences in his memoir, The Records of Postwar Repatriation “What word can possibly describe the violence committed by the Soviet soldiers on Japanese women? I can only think of the word “hideous”. The victim could be a girl of twelve or thirteen years old or an old lady of almost seventy years old. These soldiers did not choose the sites where they raped them, in public, in broad daylight, even on snow-covered roads”. The Soviet invasion of Manchuria in 1945 left many Japanese women stranded after their male family members were either conscripted or killed. These women, including young girls, endured severe hardships, facing gang rapes by Soviet soldiers and local Chinese militia groups. In a desperate effort to survive, many were forced to marry Chinese men, either out of necessity or in exchange for assistance in repatriating their remaining family members. Disturbingly, some victims were as young as thirteen. Some women were held in groups and subjected to repeated sexual violence over extended periods. In certain instances, to ensure the safety of the group, members of the Japanese community offered women to their perpetrators. There were also reports of women voluntarily submitting themselves to protect their families, younger peers, or others in their communities. After Japan's defeat in 1945, leaders of the Kurokawa Settler Group in Manchuria offered approximately 15 young women, aged 17 to 21, to Soviet soldiers in exchange for protection. This tragic practice continued from September to November 1945, with some of the women later being offered to Chinese soldiers as well. With no protection from Japanese soldiers, Japanese women often had to devise unique strategies to avoid rape. Memoirs from female repatriates detail various escape tactics. Some women hid in attics every night, narrowly avoiding capture or even gunfire. Others managed to trap intruders in rooms before fleeing or bribed Soviet soldiers with valuables, such as wristwatches, to secure their escape. Notably, some women, particularly former geisha and bar workers, voluntarily went with Soviet soldiers to protect others. These women were referred to as tokkōtai (kamikaze) for their self-sacrifice. Additionally, it wasn't just Japanese women who suffered; Korean and Chinese women were also victims of sexual violence at the hands of various perpetrators in Manchuria. British and American reports indicate that Soviet Red Army troops looted and terrorized the local population in Shenyang, a city in Manchuria. A foreign witness described how Soviet troops, formerly stationed in Berlin, were permitted by the Soviet military to enter Shenyang for "three days of rape and pillage." In Harbin, Soviet forces ignored protests from leaders of the Chinese Communist Party regarding the widespread mass rape and looting committed by their troops. In the immediate aftermath of the war in 1945, in areas of Manchuria occupied by the National Revolutionary Army, 176 Koreans were killed, 1,866 were injured, 3,468 were detained, and 320 were raped by armed Chinese mobs. The attacks against Korean residents in Manchuria were believed to stem from a perception of Korean collaboration with Japanese colonial rule. One of the most infamous instances was the Gegenmiao massacre. On August 10 and 11, Xing'an was bombed, nearly destroying its urban functions. It is estimated that 3,000 of the 4,000 civilians. Anticipating the Soviet invasion, Xing'an had prepared an evacuation plan divided into three groups based on residential area and workplace. The Kwantung Army, however, failed to inform the General Office officials about their retreat. As a result, residents in the eastern area, many of whom were self-employed or office workers, had difficulty obtaining information and securing transportation, while those in the western area had military personnel who were first to learn of the situation. Some of the civilians with a handful of armed men had proceeded on foot towards Gegenmiao Township, about 35 kilometers southeast of Xing'an Street, to wait for a train at Gegenmiao Station and then evacuate to Baichengzi. They aimed to receive protection from the Kwantung Army in Baichengzi. Around 11:40 AM on August 14 in the vicinity of Gegenmyo Hill, where a Lamaist temple was located, they encountered an infantry unit consisting of 14 Soviet medium tanks and 20 trucks. The column reportedly stretched for two kilometers, with about a hundred survivors among them. Soviet troops launched an attack from the hilltop, deploying tanks with machine-gun fire. The tanks attacked multiple times, and when they ceased, Soviet soldiers disembarked and ruthlessly shot and bayoneted survivors. Many who escaped death from gunfire were still severely injured or witnessed family members being killed. Some were left holding their loved ones or chose to commit suicide. It is estimated that only about a hundred survivors were later confirmed, including nearly 200 schoolchildren from the Xing'an Street Zaiman National School. Kwantung Army units, which were supposed to escort the civilians and counterattack, had already retreated southward. Even after the Soviet soldiers left, sporadic gunfire continued, presumably due to suicides. Local residents began to plunder the bodies, stripping them of clothes and valuables. Others drowned in the river while attempting to escape. Reports tell of one woman who had her child killed by Soviet soldiers, only to later face an attack from Chinese militia, who stripped her of her clothes and mutilated her. Surviving mothers and children were also attacked, and those separated were often taken by the Chinese. At the time, it was common for Japanese boys to be sold for 300 yen and girls for 500 yen. Some survivors gathered together and began committing mass suicide, killing those who wished to end their lives. Others expressed intentions to form a death squad with rifles for revenge but ultimately did not resist.   After the war ended on August 15, attacks on displaced persons continued. A 12-year-old girl who joined a group of about ten women after the incident reported that they were attacked and robbed, taking over a week to reach Zhenxi Station, 10 kilometers from Gegenmiao Station. The women sought shelter in an abandoned house near the station but were discovered by Soviet soldiers that night who assaulted them until midnight. Afterward, the soldiers piled dry grass into the house, setting it ablaze in an attempt to burn the women alive. The girl and her sister managed to escape through a window, but many others could not flee in time due to the fire's rapid spread. The girl was forced to live as a residual orphan afterward. Fortunately, some Chinese, Mongolians, and Koreans provided food for the survivors, with some Chinese showing kindness towards the children. Those orphaned children, whose parents had been killed, became known as residual orphans, with about 30 in this unfortunate situation. Many women were forced to become residual women as well. Tragically, around 200 students from a local school, including the headmaster and his wife, were killed during this chaos. Some historians believe the attack stemmed from Soviet soldiers mistaking the refugees for armed Japanese troops because men within the group were carrying firearms for protection. In general, displaced persons at this time often carried small weapons like rifles, and some groups were even armed with light machine guns. In the pioneer groups, women sometimes participated in fighting against bandits, and in the Sado pioneer group incident, children above the fifth grade were forced into combat, regardless of gender. There may also have been prior skirmishes with other Japanese civilian groups before the war's end, further complicating the situation as the Soviet Army, which included female soldiers, may have regarded these mixed civilian and armed groups as a threat. According to Soviet military combat records, on August 14, the Soviet 17th Guards Rifle Division, 19th Guards Rifle Division, 91st Guards Rifle Division, and 61st Tank Division were stationed northwest of Gezhne Temple, but there was no combat activity in the area. On August 15, this unit advanced toward Bai Chengzi and occupied Bai Chengzi Station, which was then taken over by tanks from the 61st Tank Division. Despite extensive documentation, nothing about this incident was revealed until 2014 during the process of perestroika. Reports from British and American sources indicate that the 700,000 Soviet troops occupying Manchuria also terrorized and looted the local population in Mukden. They were not deterred by Soviet authorities and engaged in what was described as "three days of rape and pillage," with similar atrocities occurring in Harbin and across the country. Amid the mass repatriation of Japanese civilians living in the region, Japanese women in Manchuria faced repeated sexual violence at the hands of Russian soldiers every day. In North Korea, it was similarly reported that Soviet soldiers raped both Japanese and Korean women. Additionally, Soviet soldiers looted the property of Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans residing in Manchuria and North Korea.

If you are still hungry after that, give my personal channel a look over at The Pacific War Channel at Youtube, it would mean a lot to me. Amid chaotic surrenders, Emperor Hirohito accepted defeat, but Soviet advances continued relentlessly. As they pushed deeper, the Soviets captured key cities, including Harbin, while Japan's soldiers and civilians struggled for survival against the onslaught. War crimes committed by Soviet troops added to the tragedy, with rampant violence against Japanese civilians. Amidst political tensions, the Soviets secured territory, culminating in the surrender of remaining Japanese forces. The grim conclusion of this campaign marked a profound shift in the power dynamics of East Asia and paved the way for post-war ramifications.

The false dichotomy between medicine and miracles has troubled believers for generations, leaving many caught between their faith and practical healthcare decisions. In this profound conversation with Dr. David Chotka, we unravel this tension by exploring how scripture itself demonstrates the harmonious relationship between divine intervention and medical treatment.Dr. Chotka shares his own dramatic healing story—diagnosed with Ramsey-Hunt syndrome that paralyzed his face, doctors declared his preaching career over. Medical science offered no hope for recovery. Yet through specific prayer and prophetic words, he experienced complete restoration that his physician acknowledged was "beyond scientific explanation." Despite this miraculous experience, Dr. Chotka readily takes antibiotics when needed, modeling a balanced approach to health and healing.The heart of our discussion reveals five distinct pathways God uses for healing: instantaneous miracles, natural restoration processes, medical treatments developed through human ingenuity, suffering that lacks immediate explanation, and the final crossing into eternity. These pathways aren't competing alternatives but complementary approaches that often intertwine throughout our healing journeys.Perhaps most moving is Dr. Chotka testimony of his wife's healing from muscular dystrophy after twenty years of prayer without visible results. The breakthrough came not when they intensified their requests, but when they shifted focus to "seek the healer, not the healing." This profound reorientation—asking how they could serve God with diminishing capacity rather than demanding restoration—preceded the miraculous intervention that defied medical explanation.Whether you're struggling with an ongoing health challenge, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking to understand how faith and medicine work together, this episode offers both practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement. Join us in discovering how to pray effectively for healing while honoring both the supernatural power of God and the natural remedies He's provided through human innovation.Let me know what you think of this episode?

Confira na edição do Jornal da Record desta terça (18): Avião do presidente Lula arremete ao tentar pousar no interior de São Paulo. Governo envia ao Congresso isenção do Imposto de Renda para quem ganha até R$ 5 mil. Deputado Eduardo Bolsonaro anuncia que vai se licenciar da Câmara e ficar nos Estados Unidos. No mesmo dia, ministro Alexandre de Moraes manda arquivar pedido de apreensão do passaporte do parlamentar. Israel retoma ataques ao Hamas e diz que eliminou integrantes do alto escalão do grupo terrorista. Em conversa com Trump, Vladmir Putin aceita suspender ataques à rede de energia na ucrânia, mas rejeita cessar-fogo total. Presidente da CONMEBOL pede desculpas depois de dizer que Libertadores sem brasileiros seria como "Tarzan sem Chita". E morre, em São Paulo, aos 87 anos, a lenda do basquete, Wlamir Marques. 

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta quarta-feira (19/03/2025): A proposta do governo de isenção de Imposto de Renda (IR) para quem ganha até R$ 5 mil por mês prevê a compensação das perdas de receitas com uma taxação mínima para um grupo de contribuintes mais ricos, com renda acima de R$ 600 mil por ano. A alíquota do IR mínimo para esse grupo será crescente até chegar a 10% – para quem tem ganhos acima de R$ 1,2 milhão por ano. Segundo a Fazenda, a taxação atingirá 141 mil contribuintes, enquanto a ampliação da isenção beneficiará mais de 10 milhões de pessoas. Na prática, a proposta, aposta do presidente Lula para reverter queda de popularidade, prevê quatro grandes grupos de tributação. O projeto propõe também tributar dividendos acima de R$ 50 mil por mês por empresa. E mais: Economia: Motta diz que Congresso irá ‘melhorar’ texto do governo Internacional: Netanyahu diz que negociação com Hamas será ‘sob fogo’ após ataque Política: Eduardo Bolsonaro se licencia para viver nos EUA e criar ‘ambiente’ pró-anistia Metrópole: Astronautas encerram missão após 9 meses Esportes: Presidente diz que Libertadores sem brasileiros seria ‘Tarzan sem a Chita’See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Companions, History and Heroism.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.There are two distinct phases of falsehood. In the first, you realize you can lie to those closest to you. In the second, you realize you shouldn't.(And the stars continue to shine forth)"Stop trying to save me," Pamela remarked, once she was sure we were alone once more."Ask me to do something I'd at least consider doing," I sighed. "Let's go back to the party, I'm not sure where we are.""You've been walking in one big circle, Dummy," she chided me.Why was she letting me off the hook for walking off with the Grand Villain in the scheme of things? Well, if she started hitting me, she probably wasn't sure she could stop."One of these days I'm going to screw up and not get out of it," I noted sadly."That is the epitaph of anyone who has ever taken up a weapon and a cause," Pamela smiled.Maybe she wasn't angry with me."Why aren't you more pissed off?" I wondered."You are a good guy, Cáel," Pamela enlightened me. "That means you are going to reach out to people you think you can save. Personally, I don't think Alal can be, but then I'm biased.""Guy coming back from the dead?" I inquired."Damn right. No more surefire way to anger an assassin than to come back from the dead," she related. "Did you take note of his body?""Not really. What did I miss?" I requested."It didn't look right," Pamela shook her head. "Nothing more specific than that. I was hoping, since you touched him, you might have picked something else up.""Nope. I was too busy slipping a GPS locator on him," I grinned."You don't have one and the technology doesn't work that way, ya numbskull," she play slapped my left bicep."Wouldn't it be cool if it did?" my grin broadened."Laugh it up, Monkey-boy," Pamela countered. "Buffy would have you tagged like a mule deer in Yellowstone.""Eek," I gasped. "Point taken.""Well, " Pamela huffed."He's going to kill my soul," I observed. "Now I'm sure of it. All of that discussion was just gauging my personality so that when he offs me, he can become Cáel Nyilas / Wakko Ishara." Pause."Good for you," Pamela let go of a tense breath. She didn't have to ask."The whole Condottieri situation is a scam," I passed on that bit of information I'd first put together with the Vizsla. "It never left Granddad's control. Currently he's going to use various other factions to kill off the Condottieri and Illuminati leadership that oppose him, then it is Unity Time.""If he takes your place, that gives him leverage on the Amazon Council plus your appeal to the 9 Clans and the Earth  and  Sky," Pamela helped me work things through. "He couldn't get his hooks into the Egyptians because they knew too much about him. Matters of race stymied his efforts with the Earth  and  Sky and Seven Pillars.""Except I saved Temujin and he's been supplying them with weapons and tech for over fifty years," I told her. "Even when he was dead, his plan was working, he had predicted the path that warfare would take, invested wisely and left orders to implement his plans. When the time came, they were ready to take out the Seven Pillars.""Without you saving Temujin, the E and S wouldn't have cared, but you," Pamela nodded. "If it comes down to his coalition of Illuminati, Condottieri, Amazons and 9 Clans, the Egyptians will join him, Global Unification has been their goal all along," she continued. "Besides, you made one hell of a positive impression on them the only time you've met. Bang up job, Stud.""Temujin will join as well. He's anything but suicidal," I finished the roll call of my fate. We were almost back to the rave by this time. "You know, you could kill me and short-circuit all of this mess," I reminded her."No way. I plan to win, damn it," Pamela patted me on the back. "Save the Dum-sel in Disrepute, slay the Evil Warlord and re-retire with a boatload great-grandbabies to spoil.""I gave the Vizsla a clue," I let Pamela know the possible complications to her plan. "In 1847, one General of the Condottieri tried to have the Italian Black Hand kill another. Unfortunately, the victim in question was a puppet for Grandpa and the assassin team attacked them both. Because they saw his face, he hunted them back to their base and slaughtered the entire Verona Chapter house of the Wolf.""He must have fucked up a few other times as well," Pamela assured me. Speaking of miscalculations, Anya, Katalin and Orsi broke from the thrashing mob and ran up to me."Your crazy ex-girlfriend called," Anya seemed steamed. "She insisted must she talk to you." At first glance, it would be 'which crazy ex-GF', except only one had Anya's phone number. I took her phone."Bonjour, ma petite amie méchante ," I greeted Anais, the Mountie, in French. Yes, I was calling her a 'meanie'."Cáel, how are you? Where are you?" she was truly concerned. I didn't doubt her sincerity. I also didn't doubt she was convinced she knew what was best for me, as well."I've talked with the Hungarian Police too," I let my pique come through. "You screwed me over. I asked you to let me handled this and you didn't.""You are still a Jerk," she snapped. "I've been trying to help. And from the sounds of it, you are at a party.""It's a rave. It is a rave brought about by the police keeping people penned up in the town all afternoon. Now, if you would stop treating me like a freaking child, you would realize that I'm actually safer in a crowd than I am alone, holed-up in some room without a weapon because you've made it so that the TEK is now keeping a sharp eye on me," I retorted."Can't you tell I'm trying to help you?" she got loud, on the cusp of becoming enraged."Yes. I called you, asking for help. I also called to apologize, without making it sound like some lame stupid stunt to get you back. I'm in real trouble here and I've put other people in danger at the same time," I told her. And yes, I planned to get some 'Anais' when I got back to North America."I'm telling you," she persisted, "let Hungarian law enforcement help you.""I'm trying to make you understand," I countered, "that this is a situation that the police can't help me with. I called you because I believed I could trust you, even though you hate me.""I'm angry with you, Cáel. I don't hate you," she grumbled. "I am trying to help.""If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't still be talking to you, Anais," I allowed. "What did Timothy tell you?""Is that all you care about?" she grumbled."Actually, this is me trying not to be a selfish jackass," I said. "People are in danger because of me and I need to make sure they are safe before I take care of myself.""That's, very unlike you," Anais sounded unsure."I've been doing some growing up since graduation," I replied. "I only wish I'd grown smarter.""I, I'm sorry about your Papa," she quieted down."They gunned him down in his own home," I told her. "Dad never touched a gun in his life and they shot him with an assault rifle.""Oh, well, I understand your Federal Justice Department is investigating the matter," Anais tried to comfort me. "I talked with your Prosecutor Castello. She wouldn't tell me much.""Pity," I mumbled. "I know they are having difficulties.""It is an American problem," she noted."Not really," I sunk in my hooks. "We've been working with MI-6 and the CIA. They are all part of that international task force I told you about {see last chapter}.""Yes, how did you get Irish diplomatic status? That doesn't make any sense," she perked up. Anais liked puzzles. Actually, she liked solving conundrums. It made her a great cop."We are missing the party," Monika protested, in German."That's right. Tell your EX-girlfriend good-bye, Cáel," Anya insisted loudly."Who is that?" Anais groused."It is Anya, the Bulgarian mechanical engineer. We've had sex since you and I last talked and I think she's feeling a tad possessive," I explained.Pause."Bastard," Anais seethed. I was sure her cunt was twitching already. "Fine. I talked with your roommate, he says you have my uniform in a dress bag and my boots in a sealed box, so I forgive you. Anyway, he said Odette called, and she gave him a number to give to you."Since it didn't have 555 in it, I had hopes it was genuine. This was not the time to give Anais the quick kiss-off."I appreciate it, Anais," I sighed with relief. "Have you decided which restaurant you want to go to when I get back?""I haven't given it much thought, Cáel," I could feel her defrosting further. "How can I keep in touch with you?""Ugh, I don't have my own phone right now. Tomorrow I'm going to steal some means of conveyance and, " I grinned."Don't tell me that," Anais complained. "I'm still an officer of the law.""Well, the new 'me' is trying to be more honest with you, Anais. I've got to get out of town tomorrow. Would you rather I lied to you, again?" I confounded her."Well, no. Try to be careful, prends soin de mon amour," she sighed."I will call you as soon as I'm able. Thank you again," I signed off."I still say, 'that one' is confused about her 'ex' status," Orsi teased me."Do you know what is worse than having one woman save your soul?" I tossed out to them. They could not divine an answer. "Having three women do it at the same time, for different reasons. Now I believe we have a party starving for our attention."(Reunions)Pamela had convinced me the motorcycle driver who belonged to our newly acquired BMW K1600 GT would be at least four hours regaining consciousness and getting himself untied. We had stopped at a petrol station along the 431, between Kiszombor, Hungary and the Romanian border. She wanted to fuel up before the border crossing, in case things didn't work out, you know, with our guns and this stolen vehicle.She was already peeved that I'd stopped in Szeged to pick up a few pounds of paprika. Rumor had it that the fields around that stretch of the Tisza produced the highest quality of that spice on the planet, especially the sweet kind. Pamela pointed out I knew 'jack' about cooking. I agreed. What I did know was cooks, the female variety.Fresh spice from the 'source' was way better than a dozen roses, even with a box of chocolates added. Did I have a cook lined up in New York? No, but I was sure I could find one. Wait! Yasmin, my Brazilian, ex-Super Cop, hottie should be back in town by now. If she didn't cook, she'd definitely have a friend I could seduce.Honest to Ishara, I was starting to believe this constant 'work-work-work' was ruining my normally poor judgment where sex and fidelity were concerned.Pamela was getting some lunch for us while I gassed up my crotch-rocket. My luck kept being, exceptional. Two Hungarian motorcycle troopers showed up; both were women and they apparently had decided that I was worthy of attention. Hey, I'm good-looking, and I was wearing a ballistic vest. (The durability of my long coat wasn't so obvious.) "Nice bike," the first one, the one directly confronting me, said. "Thanks. It is a KT1600 GT, 2009," I smiled. "What are you two on?" "Yamaha FJR1300A's," she answered. I put up the nozzle, capped the tank and walked over to her conveyance. It was a really sweet ride. "You have a gun," she noted calmly. She and her partner both had their hands on their holstered weapons. Since the flaps were still down, I wasn't panicking. "Yes. More than one in fact," I kept pretending to look over her bike while I was really scoping her out. I'd nailed all six boat girls and then had the Macedonian babe for breakfast. So I still had three good sexual bangs in me before dusk and these two were nice and pleasant enough. "Do you have permits for those?" she asked. Her partner was calling something in. "Are we still in Hungary?" I mused. The question was a joke. "I believe we are," she smiled. Sure, I may have been a dangerous felon, but I was a nice looking and engaging one."Nope. I'm afraid not," I sighed. She understood my English. "Why are you so armed?" she kept calm. "Are you law enforcement somewhere?" "Does a secretive, non-governmental, paramilitary organization count?" "No," she sighed. "That sounds rather criminal. So, what are you carrying?" That was a nice way of saying 'give me your gun'."Left, right, back, or ankle?" I replied. "Which one do you want first?" "Let's try this again. Can I see some form of ID?" she remained rather comfortable despite this having to be the most bizarre traffic stop of her career."I'm reaching around to my right rear jean pocket for it," I related. Something dating Anais had taught me was that you always tell an on-duty cop what you are doing before you do it.She nodded, so I pulled out my NY Driver's license, my US passport and my Irish Diplomatic ID. She began looking them over. "You are Cáel Nyilas?" she looked over my documents. "If that who it says I am, then yes," I grinned.For a second, she was P-O'ed, then she realized I was playing with her. She snorted in amusement and returned to looking over my stuff.   "Nyilas is a Hungarian name," she hummed. "Székely," I clarified. "My family emigrated to America at the end of World War II. I've actually come back here to look over the homeland." "You couldn't land in Bucharest?" she handed me my ID back. "What?" I feigned an insult to my intellect. "Hungarian women are far prettier.""You don't appear to be Dortmund Schuyler," her partner looked me over.

10 Blasco y la máquina hierogámico-sacrificial Uno de los amores más famosos y a la vez más desconocidos del escritor valenciano fue con la escritora y condesa doña Emilia Pardo Bazán, concretamente tan solo siete años después de casarse con María Blasco. Un año después, en 1899, la Bazán viajó a Valencia donde fue agasajada por las personalidades del momento como el doctor Moliner. La escritora gallega también había vivido la vida loca en París y como mujer adelantada de su época abogaba por el sexo libre y con quien ella quisiera. Con Blasco se juntaron las ganas de comer con la comida copiosa y ambos se dejaron ver en grata compañía. El que fuera compañero de partido Rodrigo Soriano y del que hablamos en los capítulos cuarto y séptimo tuvo la suerte de que la mujer de Blasco le entregase una carta dirigida a la Pardo Bazán ya que era sabedora de los devaneos de su esposo con la escritora. Este no echó la carta al correo y la utilizó en contra de Blasco difundiendo a los cuatro vientos la infidelidad del valenciano. Todo empezó el 4 de Febrero de 1903 con la publicación en el propio periódico fundado por Blasco, el Pueblo, de un texto titulado «Revolucionarios de entretiempo» escrito por Soriano. Ya no podemos encontrar el artículo en dicho periódico pero si en pdf en la casa Museo Blasco Ibáñez. Era una sátira burlesca acerca de los ambiciosos revolucionarios que iban a la política por el sólo medro personal. Hablaba de Blasco como el «Sansón de los fideos», «hijo de un modesto tendero de ultramarinos» y definía a su padre como «el tendero de largas uñas». Se burlaba de la cultura de Blasco comparando al Sansón de los filisteos con el Sansón que despachaba en el ultramarinos: «cayó en manos de nuestro hombre cierta pringosa lámina de una historia de la Revolución francesa; en ella aparecían retratados algunos héroes de la tragedia sangrienta, que servían de envoltorio a medio kilo de aceitunas». Tras este episodio Soriano fue expulsado del partido donde ambos militaban y este empezó a publicar las cartas que tenía en su poder en el diario “El Radical”. Tan solo publicó una ya que Soriano, entrecomillas, “tiró con bala” a Blasco y luego sufrió un tiroteo en el camino de Benimaclet. Atentado que le fue devuelto en 1905 cuando Blasco y algunos correligionarios fueron tiroteados también lo que obligó a Blasco a abandonar la dirección del periódico “El Pueblo” y marchar a Madrid como les contamos en el capítulo cuatro. Tras su marcha a Madrid escribe en 1906 “La maja desnuda” que rompe con las novelas sociales que estaba escribiendo hasta ese momento. Estar en Madrid le garantizaba la cercanía de la condesa, y a la vez allí conocería a la amante definitiva, la chilena Elena Ortúzar, a la que suponemos “la maja” de la novela homónima aunque coincide plenamente con los cinco meses de relación en Madrid con la escritora gallega. Elena era la mujer del banquero y diplomático Salustio Barros Ortúzar, que estuvo en la embajada chilena en París y nieta del presidente de Chile entre 1841 y 1851. Este ultimo fue un masón prominente que posiblemente militó en la logia Lautaro que existió en Chile y que vendría a ser parte de un proceso de organización militar a escala regional, cuyo objetivo último era el derrocamiento del virreinato del Perú. “En 1906 estando de visita en el estudio de Sorolla en el paseo del General Martínez Campos de Madrid, Blasco descubre un gran retrato de cuerpo entero de una dama enjoyada, de la que el escritor se queda prendado. Le pide a Sorolla que se la presente pero el pintor que conoce el gusto por las faldas operísticas del escritor se niega, argumentando que es una señora casada, aristócrata chilena emparentada con varios presidentes de la república y esposa de un rico banquero chileno, Salustio Barros, bastante mayor que ella, con el que ha venido a España como agregado cultural de la embajada para la boda de Alfonso XIII con Victoria Eugenia de Battemberg. Se llama Elena Ortúzar Bulnes, tiene 34 años y en el ambiente familiar la conocen como “Chita”. “Hoy en día un escritor Nobel como Vargas Llosa diría que (la conoció), por la pichula. En Granada porque, a pesar de todo el dinero del mundo, la Chita era una “mala follá” a la que un caballo viejo, se supone que la cubría poco y mal, y a la que, a pesar de sus deslumbrantes 34 años, no le había dado nadie todavía un buen revolcón como Dios manda. Y ahí está Blasco, con sus 39 años, hecho un toro, y al que, como se dice con escaso refinamiento en mi barrio obrero de la Ría …” le tira más un pelo de coño que una maroma de barco”… Y el gañán de la montaña turolense, le da un repaso a la refinada chilena dejándola más colgada que una percha, haciéndola descubrir un mundo de pasión que hasta entonces entre cirios, hostias y aguas benditas ni se lo olía. Y comienza una relación adúltera que durará años y que solo se regularizará cuando ambos enviuden de sus respectivos y se casen en 1925.” El periodista Carretero Novillo más conocido como el caballero audaz nos cuenta como el propio Blasco le contó sus aventuras con la escritora gallega durante una cena en el hotel Palace de Madrid una vez se enteró que esta había fallecido. “Acababa de morir una ilustre artista española, septuagenaria, mujer excepcional, a la que su edad y su obra vigorosa hacían digna de respeto. «Entonces, glosando el tema, Blasco Ibáñez, de sobremesa, se deleitó en referimos sus aventuras amorosas con aquella dama ilustre, durante toda una época lejana de juventud, narrando los episodios con todo lujo de detalles…».” A Blasco Ibáñez no le importó la diferencia de dieciséis años con la Bazán, como hemos observado, le atraían personas de todas las edades y estratos sociales, desde condesas hasta prostitutas. También en la miniserie de Berlanga sobre Blasco Ibáñez podemos ver cómo la cantante de ópera rusa Nadina Buliccioff, después de una actuación recibe a Blasco en su camerino. Esta artista se encuentra azotando con la fusta a una asistente que la acompaña en la estancia, esta es su esclava sexual e invita a Blasco a usar la fusta con ella, oferta que el rechaza diciendo que le gusta más usar sus propias manos. Volviendo a otra de las escenas que nos muestra Berlanga podemos ver que sitúa a Blasco cuando se escapó a Madrid, o sea, diciembre de 1883 con 16 años, siendo por tanto un menor de edad siendo seducido por la escritora Pardo Bazán. La escena termina cuando los guardias localizan a Blasco y se lo devuelven a su madre. No creemos que sucediese tal encuentro sino lo que hemos contado anteriormente de que se conocieron seis años más tarde siendo Blasco ya adulto. “Mira, este es el rincón del infierno. “l’enfer" -dice la Bazán arrodillándose y acercándose a la entrepierna del joven Blasco mientras abre un compartimento de la librería. Aquí guardamos todos los libros eróticos. Ja, ja, ja. -rie la escritora ¿Conoces al marqués de Sade? -apostilla por último la Bazán. Ah, yo soy republicano. No quiero nada con los aristócratas aunque sean revolucionarios como Sade. -desdeña la oferta Blasco. Yo tampoco. Yo solo amo a los poetas apasionados. Mira Vicente, mira, como palpita mi pecho. -termina cogiéndole la escritora la mano a Blasco entregando su pecho abierto.” El marqués de Sade fue un escritor, ensayista, filósofo, libertino, activista político y noble francés conocido por sus novelas libertinas y su encarcelamiento por delitos sexuales, blasfemia y pornografía. Sus obras incluyen novelas, cuentos, obras de teatro, diálogos y tratados políticos. Algunos de ellos se publicaron bajo su propio nombre durante su vida, pero la mayoría baparecieron de forma anónima o póstuma. Le es atribuida también la famosa novela Los 120 días de Sodoma o la escuela de libertinaje, que fue publicada en 1904, muchos años más tarde de la muerte del marqués de Sade y que sería su obra más famosa. Fue adaptada al cine en 1975 por el autor y cineasta neorrealista italiano Pier Paolo Pasolini, quien sería asesinado después. Saló o los 120 días de Sodoma de Pier Paolo Pasolini basada en “Los 120 días de Sodoma del marqués de Sade”. Iba a ser una trilogía, pero misteriosamente no pudieron realizarse las dos partes restantes tras el asesinato en extrañas circunstancias de Pasolini. Pasolini es asesinado brutalmente por Pino Pelosi, un chapero de 17 años, en un descampado de Ostia, cerca de Roma. Su cuerpo, abandonado en un vertedero, queda completamente desfigurado. El joven confesó el crimen, afirmando haber actuado en legítima defensa al ser atacado por Pasolini, que intentaba violarlo. Sade da nombre a la palabra sádico y sadismo ya que sus personajes son los característicos antihéroes, protagonistas de violaciones y de disertaciones en las que justifican sus actos, según algunos pensadores, mediante sofismas. La expresión de un ateísmo radical, además de la descripción de parafilias sexuales y actos de violencia, son los temas más recurrentes de sus escritos, en los que prima la idea del triunfo del vicio sobre la virtud. Nos cuenta León Roca una anécdota que contaba Gómez de la Serna sobre las andanzas madrileñas de Blasco: “Es muy posible que corresponda a esta época de la vida madrileña de Blasco Ibáñez, la anécdota que Gómez de la Serna cuenta acerca de nuestro novelista. Dice que, una tarde, encontró Blasco Ibáñez a una prostituta en la calle la cual comenzó a quejarse de la tacañería del «viejo» que con alguna frecuencia la visitaba. Aparte de la curiosidad de la anécdota, Gómez de la Serna nos ilustra acerca de las preferencias callejeras que Blasco Ibáñez tenía acerca del amor. Esta tranquilidad, audacia o interés por abordar a las mujeres del arroyo, fue práctica habitual en él y la ejercitó hasta los últimos años de su vida. La anécdota se resuelve de la siguiente manera. La prostituta le llevó a su pisito y, al entrar, Blasco Ibáñez vio un retrato enmarcado y colocado sobre un velador. -¿Es este el «viejo» tacaño del que me hablabas? Ella dijo que sí. El caballero del retrato era Pérez Galdós.” También Berlanga era conocedor de estas aventuras que tenían en común esto 2 escritores y nos lo cuenta de una manera un poco distinta, más cinematográfica, en la miniserie sobre Blasco Ibáñez donde hay una escena en la que Blasco Ibáñez se encuentra vistiéndose después de tener relaciones con la prostituta y esta le dice que se apure que está esperando a un cliente. Pues cuando Blasco ya está acabando de recomponerse llaman a la puerta y aparece Benito Pérez Galdós, se saludan y se despiden. Con Benito Pérez Galdós intercambió sabrosas cartas sobre damas cuyos favores compartían como por ejemplo la famosa escritora gallega Pardo Bazán, y de expresar sus opiniones sin ponerles ningún trapito piadoso encima. No solo mantenía copiosa correspondencia con Pérez Galdós, es que además utilizaba las tramas de los líos de faldas en sus novelas como este caso del retrato de una de sus amantes que utilizó en “La voluntad de vivir” publicado en 1907: “Querido don Benito: Adjunto le envío un retrato de usted comprado por una señora chilena, muy guapa y muy cachonda, que creo vió usted en el estudio de Sorolla. Póngale usted una dedicatoria detonante, como la bomba de Morral, pues esta gachí está por los novelistas.” Hablaba por supuesto de la que sería una de sus últimas amantes conocidas, la millonaria chilena Elena Ortúzar y Bulnes de la cual se había enamorado hasta las trancas y que lo impulsó a destruir totalmente la edición de “La voluntad de vivir”. Cuando publicó "La voluntad de vivir" que relataba los amores con doña Elena, se presenta a las elecciones saliendo diputado otra vez. Pero como en él todo se mezclaba, aquella misma noche, recibe un telegrama de Alicante de la dama en cuestión, ya que le había remitido un ejemplar y le pide que vaya a verla. Y va. Se reconcilian y Blasco, tan caballeroso, destruye toda la edición de la novela en la que relataba sus amores. Durante muchas noches quemaron ejemplares frente al chalet de la Malvarrosa. Aquel fue su último intento de volver a Valencia. Un año antes, en 1906, había conocido a la milionaria chilena Elena Ortúzar y Bulnes, persona que tomaría como modelo para alguna de sus novelas y que sería fundamental en su vida personal. La tomó como modelo para sus novelas: La maja desnuda (1906), La voluntad de vivir (1907) y Sangre y arena (1908). Después de reconciliarse y llevar una vida casi marital con ella en Alicante, emprendieron un recorrido por Europa que culminó en Constantinopla. Partiendo desde Ginebra y tras visitar Berna, Munich, Viena y Budapest, Blasco inició su primer viaje a Oriente en compañía de doña Elena, la madre de su esposa, y la doncella. Este viaje, inmortalizado literariamente bajo el título de "Oriente", fue publicado en diciembre de 1907. Pasaron la primera gran guerra juntos. Antes de que ésta terminase, el esposo de la dama falleció en 1917. Entonces, huyendo de las incomodidades de una ciudad en guerra, se marcharon a Niza. Vivieron en el hotel Krysti. Poco después del éxito de «Los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis», en 1919, compraron la villa Fontana Rosa, en Mentón. En 1925, en el mes de enero, fallecía en Valencia doña María Blasco del Cacho, la esposa del novelista. Como curiosidad referirnos a que el tercer significado de la palabra cacho según la Real Academia de la Lengua es cuerno o asta. (video cacho cuerno.mov) En Mentón, los dos viudos se casaron, en el mes de octubre del mismo año, en una ceremonia civil que se celebró en una sala de la villa Fontana Rosa y en presencia de don Arturo Alessandri, Presidente entonces de la República de Chile. Nos hubiera gustado que esta serie contará con 11 videos, pero lamentablemente finalizaremos de manera abrupta en el décimo. Pedimos disculpas por nuestra manera áspera e incluso violenta de concluir. Simplemente, tememos meternos en problemas si revelamos más de lo permitido, corriendo el riesgo, como me sucede a mí, de enfrentar responsabilidades penales por desvelar el mecanismo hierogámico-sacrificial primigenio. Pero no nos marcharemos sin indicarles el camino, sin dejar esas migas de pan que les permitirán esquivar a la bruja del cuento. No les hablaremos de políticos actuales con mujeres andróginas ni de asesinados por ETA con la legión de honor a los que les levantan un monolito justo en la línea que une el chalet de la Malvarrosa con la catedral de Valencia. Como hemos indicado a lo largo de los diferentes capítulos, el poder-religión y las sociedades secretas o discretas, y en particular la masonería, juegan un papel relevante en la modelización de las sociedades modernas. Iconos como Blasco Ibáñez son seleccionados para que las ideas de estos grupos permeen en dichas sociedades, guiándolas como un pastor lo hace con sus ovejas. Les pedimos disculpas nuevamente por la forma tan ruda y abrupta de concluir esta serie de videos sin mostrarles lo prometido. A veces es mejor plantar la semilla que recoger el fruto inmaduro. Nadie logra alcanzar el éxito sin pagar un alto precio, y aunque no podamos hablar abiertamente sobre ello por falta de pruebas, les mostraremos a continuación algunos datos objetivos. Las alegrías y desdichas de estos personajes famosos reflejan los ciclos de esa máquina hierogámico-sacrificial, como mencionaba Pedro Bustamante. La filóloga Pura Fernández nos contó cómo Valencia fue una de las zonas de la Península donde mayor expansión masónica se produjo durante la década de 1880. Justo allí, a los trece años, Blasco comenzó a escribir, y a los catorce ya había terminado su primera novela. El 4 de octubre de 1892 nace su hija primogénita, a la que llamaron Libertad. Vivió solo trece días. El 9 de noviembre de 1893 nace su primer hijo varón, a quien llamaron Mario. Una caída y una ascensión. También contamos como el 12 de Mayo de 1894 estrenó en Valencia su única obra de teatro que no tuvo mucho éxito y como además ese mismo día fallecía su madre a los 51 años de edad (5+1=6) y el 12 de noviembre de 1894, 184 días más tarde (6 meses justos) publica el primer número de El Pueblo, fundado y dirigido por él. Una fase negativa y otra positiva para alimentar la máquina. En marzo de 1906 renuncia a la política y a su acta de diputado. En diciembre de ese mismo año fue nombrado Comendador de la Legión de Honor de Francia e hijo predilecto de Valencia. Rodolfo Valentino fue elegido para protagonizar la película “los 4 jinetes del apocalipsis”, en parte por su parecido físico con Julio César, el hijo de Blasco fallecido en la veintena que guarda similitudes con el personaje principal del libro. Nosotros sospechamos que Rodolfo Valentino es el alter ego de César Blasco y que el seudónimo “Valentino” se utilizó por su semejanza fonética con valenciano. La muerte de su hijo Julio Cesar sobreviene el 18 del 11 de 1919 ( 1+8 = 9 - 11- 1919) fecha muy simbólica. El 19 es muy importante dentro del ocultismo y las religiones mistéricas que perviven hoy en dia dentro de las sociedades secretas o discretas. Se trata del llamado ciclo metónico o de Metón de 19 años tal y como leemos en la wikipedia: “…es un común múltiplo aproximativo de los períodos orbitales de la Tierra y de la Luna. En efecto, 19 años tropicales y 235 meses sinódicos o ciclos mensuales de las fases de la Luna no difieren más que en 2 horas; de ahí que después de 19 años, las mismas fechas del año corresponden con las mismas fases de la Luna.” En el 330 a.C., se mejoró el ciclo metónico de 19 años con el llamado Ciclo calípico de 76 años, reduciendo el error de 2 horas cada 19 años a 11 minutos cada 76 años. La mejora de los calendarios solares por los calendarios lunisolares es una de las diferencias entre la religión cristiana y el judaísmo, por ejemplo. Por esta razón, las fechas y las alineaciones astrológicas, como los eclipses, son tan importantes para el poder-religión que opera en la sombra. Blasco es nombrado Doctor Honoris causa por la muy masónica universidad George Washington el 23 de febrero de 1920. O sea, 3 meses y 6 días después de la muerte de su hijo Julio César lo nombran Doctor Honoris Causa. Eso nos da un total de 98 días. Nosotros sospechamos que se realizó un ritual lunar durante la fase decreciente aprovechando el simbolismo de los guarismos del año, dos diecinueves. 98 días, pero si el ritual oculto y al más alto nivel fue 1 día antes obtenemos 99 días, o lo que es lo mismo 33+33+33. Blasco Ibáñez murió en 1928 en Francia, pero fue gracias al alcalde de la ciudad de Valencia, Vicente Alfaro Moreno, que pudo volver a España. Este recibió del Gobernador Civil de la Provincia de Valencia el 28 de enero de 1932 el carnet que le acreditaba como primer edil. Su primera gestión como alcalde de Valencia fue solicitar la repatriación del cuerpo de Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, muerto en el exilio por la dictadura de Miguel Primo de Rivera. Veremos pues que como si se tratase de un reloj, cada 13 años se ha dado un acontecimiento fundamental en la vida de Blasco. Nació en 1867, y 13 años después, escribió su primera novela. Otros 13 años más tarde, en 1893, nació su primer hijo varón. En 1906, tras otros 13 años, recibió la Legión de Honor de Francia y fue nombrado hijo predilecto de Valencia. Trece años más tarde, en 1919, se hizo inmensamente rico por la traducción al inglés de Los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis, el primer best-seller de la historia, y volvió a ser recibido con todos los honores en Valencia. Por último, trece años más tarde, en 1932, se pergañará su vuelta a España que concluirá en 1933 cerrando el círculo de su vida. Resurrección y muerte en un ciclo sin fin. Las pulsaciones de vida y de muerte de las que hablaba Freud, el Eros y el Tánatos, lo cual nos lleva a los nombres de los jinetes de esos caballos del apocalipsis que catapultaron a la fama a Blasco. El jinete del Caballo Blanco, que representaba la Pestilencia o Plaga, es llamado Moros, en analogía a la personificación de la fatalidad en la mitología griega. El jinete del Caballo Rojo, usualmente asociado con la Guerra, es Fobos, que representa el miedo y el pánico en la guerra. El jinete del Caballo Negro, relacionado con el Hambre o la Carestía, es conocido como Limos o Limosina, nombres derivados de conceptos griegos para el hambre y la necesidad; de ahí la palabra ‘limosna’. Y por último, el jinete del Caballo Amarillo o Pálido, conocido como Tánatos en la mitología griega, personifica la muerte. A veces se menciona junto a Hades o Inferos, que representa el infierno que le sigue. En el capítulo 2 vimos como los tres últimos papas, la supuesta facción opuesta a la masonería, también utilizaba el 13 de una manera que excede la casualidad. Quizás estos saltos de 13 años no indiquen nada significativo para el hombre de la calle, pero como decía el poeta Rumi «Lo que es una piedra para el hombre ordinario, es una perla para el que sabe». Les recomiendo encarecidamente que lean los artículos de “el puntal de dios” en mi blog y más concretamente el que publicará en breve donde nos habla precisamente de este mecanismo de 13 años y de la interacción 13-14-13 en reyes como Felipe II. Volviendo con Blasco, su chalet de la Malvarrosa, inaugurado en agosto de 1902, tenía una gran terraza –sitio predilecto del novelista para contemplar el mar– inspirada en el Pórtico de las Cariátides de Atenas, decorada con frescos de estilo pompeyano y presidida por una imponente mesa de mármol de Carrara sostenida por unos grifos de estilo helenístico. Una vista más cercana a las patas de la mesa nos muestra a estos pequeños demonios alados que son confundidos con grifos, pero no, los grifos no tienen cuernos. Los grifos, criaturas míticas con el cuerpo de león y la cabeza y alas de águila, han sido representados en diversas culturas a lo largo de la historia. Aunque generalmente son considerados guardianes nobles y protectores de tesoros, algunos mitos y leyendas los asocian con el mundo de lo sobrenatural y lo oscuro. En este contexto, los grifos podrían ser vistos como una especie de demonios, entidades que combinan la ferocidad del león y la astucia del águila para ejercer poder y dominación. Esta dualidad de su naturaleza, poderosa y a menudo temible, les otorga un aura de misterio y peligro, haciendo que su figura se desplace hacia lo demoníaco en ciertas interpretaciones culturales. Al igual que muchos demonios en la mitología, los grifos pueden simbolizar tanto protección como destrucción, dependiendo de la perspectiva desde la cual se les observe. Desde luego esta edificación sita en la playa de la Malvarrosa no se construyó ni mucho menos al azar si observamos ciertas alineaciones. Trazando una línea desde el chalet al Miguelete, una de las edificaciones emblemáticas de la ciudad de Valencia, esta pasa por el busto de Blasco que hay en el jardín del museo, también por el obelisco en forma de pirámide de la sección de informática y matemáticas de la Politécnica, se cruza con el monumento a Manuel Broseta asesinado por ETA en la Avda. Blasco Ibáñez y por el busto a Blasco inaugurado 100 años después de que la masonería tomase Valencia en 1880, pasa por el aula 6 llamada Blasco Ibáñez de la Universidad de Geografía e Historia, rozando la estatua de San Vicente Ferrer en el puente del Real, por la fuente octogonal de las cuatro estaciones y camino del Miguelete pasa a los pies de la estatua del Arzobispo Marcelino pasando por una de las bóvedas de la catedral de Santa Maria. La propia avenida Blasco Ibáñez que nunca termino en el mar como hubiese querido el escritor corta esta línea formando un ángulo de unos 30 grados, cosas de llegar tarde a urbanizar. El 5 de febrero de 1980 el periódico el País nos contaba en una noticia titulada “Volado el monumento a Blasco Ibáñez en Valencia”: “El monolito dedicado a Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, que fue inaugurado el pasado día 30 en la avenida de Valencia dedicada al escritor, fue volado en la madrugada del domingo, quedando destruido el busto del monumento. La acción fue reivindicada ayer por un grupo autodenominado Maulets, mediante una llamada a la agencia Efe en Valencia.Se encontraron restos de la cabeza del busto a unos cincuenta metros de su emplazamiento. El anónimo comunicante que reivindicó el hecho dijo que se responsabilizaba del mismo por suponer una agresión a los paisos catalanes.” 11 años 11 meses y 11 días después del atentado al monolito por los maulets y 660 días después de ser nombrado caballero de la legión de honor francesa, el 15 de enero de 1992 asesinan de un tiro en la cabeza al abogado, político, escritor y catedrático Manuel Broseta Pont en la cercanías del busto de Blasco Ibáñez en la Avenida Blasco Ibáñez. En su honor, el Ayuntamiento de Valencia erigió una columna, réplica de las que delimitan el Claustro de la sede histórica del Estudi General de Valencia, en la calle de la Nave, lugar donde fue abatido, y donde cada 15 de enero es recordado por su contribución a la democracia y a la libertad en España. Manuel Broseta fue asesinado por ETA el 15 de enero de 1992, levantan un monolito justo en la línea que une el chalet de la Malvarrosa con la catedral de Valencia. Le quitan la vida a las 10:20 de la mañana y el coche utilizado por ETA en la huida explota a las 13 horas. Blasco Ibáñez muere un 28 de enero, eso son 13 días de diferencia. La parada de metro de Facultats cambió de nombre el viernes 11 de marzo de 2022 pasando a llamarse Facultats-Manuel Broseta en homenaje al catedrático de Derecho Mercantil, o sea, exactamente a los 11013 días de su asesinato. Y es que parece que al igual que hay que situar el busto de Blasco Ibáñez en lo alto de un monolito, de un falo, para realizar una hierogamia, hay que destruirlo ritualmente para alimentar la otra fase de la maquina hierogámico-sacrificial como si se tratase de un motor de dos tiempos al que hay que alimentar con gasolina de vez en cuando. A veces, las dos fases se implementan simultáneamente, como podemos ver en el enorme falo erecto que es la torre a la entrada del osario de la batalla del Marne, la cual catapultó a la fama a nuestro escritor. Esta torre religiosa en forma de falo se llama textualmente 'linterna de la muerte' y está situada exactamente a 600 millas náuticas del chalet de la Malvarrosa, que fue inaugurado en 1902, aunque posiblemente tuvo una fase simbólica en 1901 con la colocación de alguna piedra. Trece años más tarde, en 1914, se libraba la batalla del Marne, el llamado 'milagro del Marne', donde, como les hemos contado, participaron 2 millones de soldados, resultando en 67,000 muertos, 128,000 desaparecidos y 325,000 heridos. Un sacrificio de vidas humanas al máximo nivel. Hay también otro falo de 33 metros de altura en el municipio de Mondement-Montgivroux, en el suroeste del Marne decorado con letras que parecen iberas con una enorme diosa de la Victoria sacando chispas…esto si es una hierogamia consumada. (video linea 600 millas.mp4) El propio chalet de la Malvarrosa sufrió también altibajos. Fue usado por la parte republicana durante la guerra civil como centro de asistencia sanitaria para niños y cuando Madrid estaba a punto de ser conquistada por las tropas nacionales, muchos evacuados de Madrid se refugiaron en el chalet de Blasco Ibáñez quemando la madera para calentarse y realizando sus necesidades primarias dentro de aquellos muros. Posteriormente en 1941, una vez ganada la guerra por Franco, un grupo falangista denominado “los Flechas Navales” instalaron en La Malvarrosa su escuela tras apropiarse por la fuerza de las llaves. Las cariátides de la terraza pompeyana fueron suprimidas: la galería quedó cerrada por muros y ventanas y lo que fue la casa de Blasco se convirtió en un cuartel desde enero de 1942 hasta el 21 de febrero de 1962. Luego permaneció en semiruina ocupado por familias marginales que terminaron por degradarlo. El ayuntamiento de Valencia terminó comprándoles el chalet a los herederos de Blasco en 1980. Sí, cuando se realizó la voladura de su monumento, y dado que el estado del edificio era tan ruinoso, decidieron derribarlo en los 90 y se procedió a su reconstrucción siguiendo los planos originales. En 1997 pasó a ser el museo que es hoy. En mi artículo Egregores, Obeliscos y Líneas Ley, mencioné otro falo erecto en medio de la Plaza de San Pedro. El obelisco del Vaticano estuvo en el centro del Circo Máximo de Nerón en Roma, es decir, en uno de los lugares de mayor afluencia de público en la antigua Roma, donde se realizaban rituales de sexo y sangre a la vista de todos. En la Edad Media se decía sobre la esfera de bronce situada en lo más alto del obelisco que contenía en su interior los restos de Julio César, pero durante los trabajos de recolocación en la plaza del Vaticano se inspeccionó a fondo, sin encontrar nada, por lo que el Papa Sixto V, lo reemplazó por una cruz de bronce de Cristo que se asienta sobre una estrella, a la que posteriormente en 1740, se le abrió una cavidad para colocar en su interior ciertas reliquias. Del chalet a la catedral de Valencia hay 4.34 km que sumadas las cifras dan un 11 o 2.34 millas náuticas cuyas cifras dan un 9. Justo en la intersección de esta línea con la avenida Blasco Ibáñez está el monolito que sufrió el atentado en 1980. La distancia del chalet de la Malvarrosa a dicho obelisco del Vaticano también es exactamente de 600 millas náuticas. Lo tenemos situado en el centro de una circunferencia que pasa por el falo del Vaticano o Eros, y por el Tánatos que representa el memorial de la batalla del Marne. El polo negativo, el receptáculo en forma de copa femenino o matriz, el sexo o Eros y el polo positivo, el falo enhiesto masculino, la guerra o Tánatos. Como decía Pedro Bustamente, “el poder-religión se basa en el manejo de esta máquina, mucho más que en las fachadas tras las que se esconde”. Blasco Ibáñez tan solo era una pequeña rueda dentro de la máquina y nosotros tan solo queremos mostrarle los planos a vds para que puedan decidir si quieren desconectarla o participar de forma consciente. Sean felices, cuiden de sus familias y que no les atrape el monstruo mecánico. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Last time we spoke about Manchu Restoration of Zhang Xun. After the death of  Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui maneuvered to maintain control amidst the political chaos. After being outed from Premiership for trying to drag China into WW1, General Zhang Xun suddenly marched upon Beijing seizing the capital. Zhang Xun then proclaimed the Qing Dynasty restored with Emperor Puyi back on the throne, shocking the entire nation. Li Yuanhong freaked out, ran for his life and begged Duan Qirui to come back and save the republic. Ironically Duan was already in the process of marching upon the capital, so with a smile he went along with everything making it look like he was a hero. After taking back power, Duan resumed his premiership, but made sure to get rid of any threat to his authority. However, Duan's authoritarian rule and neglect of certain officers led to opposition from figures like Feng Guozhang, who formed the Zhili Clique.    #98 The Invasion of Outer Mongolia & First Anhui/Zhili War   Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. During the Xinhai Revolution many provinces and regions declared independence, one of them was Outer Mongolia. In 1910, the Qing Dynasty had appointed the Mongol, Sando to be viceroy over Mongolia, with his base being in the capital city of Urga. Just a month after his arrival conflicts emerged, prompting Sando to ask Jebstundamba Khutuktu, the spiritual leader of the Mongolians to help out but he refused and this led to a campaign to have Sando removed. More conflicts followed and by spring of 1911, prominent Mongolian nobles, such as Prince Tögs-Ochiryn Namnansüren persuaded Jebstundamba Khutukhtu to form a meeting of the nobility to discuss declaring independence. The meeting resulted in a deadlock. 18 nobles wishing to declare independence took matters into their own hands pressuring Jebstundamba Khutukhtu to send a secret delegation to Russia for help. Of course at this time Russia sought Outer Mongolia as a buffer state. The Mongols knew this and offered economic concessions if the Russians helped arm them and brought troops over. Russia did not want to add Outer Mongolia to the empire however, so she offered diplomatic support rather than military support. The Russian minister to Beijing informed the Qing the Mongols had sent a delegation and this prompted the Qing to order Sando to investigate. Yet while all of this was going on, the Wuchang Uprising had sprung up and soon rebellion would hit the entire nation. When the Mongols received news of what was happening to China, they simply joined in and declared independence. By December 1st a provisional government of Khalkha was set up under the theocratic rule of Jebtsundamba Khutuktu who became the Bodg Khaan over the new Bogd Khanate. Fast forward to 1915, the new Republic of China and the Bogd Khanate reached an agreement that Outer Mongolia could be autonomous under Chinese suzerainty, a protectorate basically. Then came the Russian Revolution and with it, the Russian Civil War. This resulted in a rather bizarre movement springing up along the Siberian/Mongolian border. Grigory Semyonov a White movement member in Transbaikal with Japanese backing, took quite an interest in Mongolia. Semyonov spoke Mongolian and Buryat fluently, he was also a soldier who fought in WW1 and then during the civil war. He led an anti-soviet rebellion, but lost after a few months and was forced to flee to Harbin. He moved to Manzhouli in Inner Mongolia and from there setup a base to launch raids into siberia to help the white movement. By the summer of 1918 he managed to captured Chita, setting it up as his own capital as he declared a Great Mongol State. Semyonov fancied unifying the Oirat Mongol lands, parts of Xinjiang, Transbaikal, Inner and Outer Mongolia, Tannu Uriankai, Kobdo Hulunbe'er and even Tibet to form a new Mongolian state.  The situation caused a divide amongst the leadership in Outer Mongolia. Some favored their current protectorate relationship with China and wanted to end the Semyonov threat. Others were dissatisfied with the status quo and saw it as a great opportunity. The Chinese high commissioner in Mongolia, Chen Yi was soon delivered word from some of the Mongolian nobles, Soviet forces were preparing to invade Mongolia. The Cossack consular guards at Urga, Khovd and Uliastai had all fled. The Russian communities in Mongolia were beginning to support a Bolshevik regime. It was under said pretext, Semyonov and his white Russian colleagues came to Mongolia. Chen Yi began frantically sending telegrams to Beijing requesting troops while simultaneously persuading the Bogd Khaan government to agree to allow a Chinese battalion to come over. Chen Yi and Mongol noles came up with a document with 64 points titled "On respecting of Outer Mongolia by the government of China and improvement of her position in future after self-abolishing of autonomy", yes they could have summarized it somewhat, though I imagine the english translation is lacking. The stipulations offered to replace the Mongolian government with Chinese officials; introduce Chinese garrisons and the keeping of feudal titles. However by July of 1918, the Soviet threat seemed to have dissipated. Meanwhile Semyonov had assembled a detachment of Buryats and Inner Mongolian nationalists to fight for his pan-Mongolian cause. They made several attempts to try and persuade the Bogd Khaan's government to join, but the Mongol nobles thought it foolish to throw their lot under a new master they knew nothing about. Gradually Semyonov threatened to invade Mongolia to force their compliance. The Bogd Khaanate was in a bad position. They lacked the strength to repel Semyonov, on the other hand they were not interested in Chinese troops entering their lands.  Now taking a step back, there was another player in the region. When the Manchu Restoration of Zhang Xun broke out, Zhang Zuolin, the warlord of Manchuria sat on the fence in Mukden. Yet a subordinate of his, Feng Tielin had just unsuccessfully plotted against him and was implicated in the Manchu Restoration. This gave Zhang a good excuse to imprison and dismiss the man from his command and better yet he stole the man's troops. In August of 1917, Zhang Zuolin took control over Heilongjiang province after a small rebellion had broken out there. Then in October, the warlord in Jilin province turned out to also be a Manchu Restorationist, or at least Zhang accused him as such, so he used diplomacy to get rid of the man. After this Zhang seized Jilin and thus controlled all of Manchuria, excluding parts under Japanese occupation.  In February of 198, Duan Qirui sent a rather unpopular subordinate named Xu Shucheng to try and persuade Zhang Zuolin to join the Anfu club. The reason was because Duan Qirui distrusted Wu Peifu and the emerging Zhili clique and saw Zhang as a beneficial ally. Xu Shucheng was the founder of the Anfu club, the political arm of the Anhui clique. They recently earned 3/4s of the seats in the national assembly. Xu was also a fixer in many ways, at one point he discovered Lu Jianzhang had tried to persuade his nephew, Feng Yuxiang the Christian warlord, to fight the Anhui CLique. Xu leaked this and had Lu executed. Thus he had a pretty rough reputation. Xu came to Zhang with a bribe from Duan Qirui, it was information that a shipment of Japanese arms worth 30,000 yuan, enough to equip roughly 7 mixed brigades and just come to port in Qinhuangdao. Zhang Zuolin performed a random inspection of the port and confiscated the goods, reminds you of the New York mob. In response to this friendly gesture, Zhang sent 50,000 of his troops southwards to aid Duan Qirui's new campaign that he called “unification of China by force”. For this nice gesture, the Beiyang government gave Zhang Zuolin the title of inspector of the 3 Manchurian provinces. At this point Zhang Zuolin truly became known as the tiger of Manchuria, or the “king of the northeast”. Things were not great, but not bad between Duan and Zhang, then Xu Shucheng received a new command, and things changed dramatically.  Because of the situation in Outer Mongolia, Duan Qirui decided to form a new “Northwestern Frontier Army” and he gave command of it to his right hand man, Xu Shuzheng. Now, allegedly this was also coerced by the Japanese who had their own designs on Outer Mongolia. But Duan Qirui certainly had his motives for such an action. The leaked information about the Nishihara loans alongside other bad press had most of the Chinese public against him. His reputation as a republican patriot had been tarnished, even defeating Zhang Xun had not done a ton to reverse it. Duan Qirui had cultivated a large and strong army during WW1, but now the war was over and all of his political enemies questioned why he kept the army. Of course everyone knew the real reason why, he wanted to defeat his rivals in the south to reunify China. When the Russian began to encroach in Mongolia, it was a perfect excuse to use said army, legitimizing it somewhat. Publicly Duan Qiruir stated the Northwestern Frontier army would go to Outer Mongolia to defend them against Bolshevik encroachment. Their expedition was supposed to commence in July 1919, but their train broke down on them. In October, Xu was forced to lead a spearhead of just 4000 men to storm the capital of Urga. There was no actual battle, the Chinese entered peacefully and began occupying the capital. They were soon followed up with 10,000 additional forces who began to occupy Mongolia. Xu Shuzheng met with Chen Yi and the Mongol nobles and stated the 64 point document needed to be renegotiated. He then submitted a much tougher set of conditions calling for the express declaration of Chinese sovereignty over Mongolia; to increase Mongolia's population via Chinese colonization; to promote commerce, industry and agriculture. If the Mongols resisted these conditions, Xu threatened to deport the Bogd Khaan to China. To make a point Xu then placed troops directly in front of Bogd Khaan's palace. It seems Xu may have also been pressured by Japan to install some pro-Japanese chinese officials in Mongolia to thwart any future Russian encroachment. These demands, titled “the eight articles” were given to the Mongolian Parliament on November 15th and the upper house accepted them, but the lower house did not. Many members publicly called for armed resistance. The most tenacious were the buddhist monks to fight off the Chinese, but the upper house ultimately prevailed. Then a petition to end autonomy signed by the ministers and deputy ministers of the Bogd Khaans government was presented to Xu. Body Khaan refused to give his seal still. Then a new Prime Minister was installed by the orders of Xu Shuzheng, his name and do forgive me was Gonchigjalzangiin Badamdorj. Alongside the conservatives within the Mongolian political scene they forced the acceptance of the Chinese demands. Xu Shuzheng was hailed as a hero in China. Dr Sun Yat-sen even sent a letter of congratulations from the rival Guangzhou government, it was clearly satirical, but those like Duan Qirui paraded it as propaganda. Now Xu Shuzheng then humiliated the Mongolian Council of Khans in a speech and would return in February of 1920 to preside over an extremely humiliating ceremony. During the ceremony the Bogd Khan and other Mongol nobles were forced to kowtow before Xu Shuzheng and the new Five races under one union flag. This ceremony was so insulting, it would mark the beginning of active Mongolian resistance against China. The occupation of Mongolia had aroused frustration from Zhang Zuolin because he regarded Mongolia to be within his sphere of influence. Xu Shuzheng after occupying Mongolia began to set up banks in the northwest, raised public loans and all of this was of course done to increase his own personal power. At this time, since he was the 2nd strongest Anhui Clique leader, he had so many forces under his thumb he was seen to be greater than Zhang Zuolin the “inspector of the three provinces of Manchuria”. Xu Shuzheng's Northwestern Army had troops in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Xinjiang and Shaanxi. Now while Zhang Zuolin's Fengtian Clique could not hope to defeat the Anhui Clique alone, they were not in fact alone. Zhang Zuolin with his ear to the political ongoings in northern China would find a new ally to thwart Duan and Xu's encroachment into his realm. We need to rewind just a little bit to explain the rather chaotic political situation in north China. After Zhang Xun's Manchu Restoration was defeated, Duan Qirui found himself in a bit of an awkward position. He was now the defender of the republic, he took back his premiership, but his puppet Li Yuanghong had fled his position as president, it was now Feng Guozhang who was president. Now Feng Guozhang was not elected or anything, he was merely filling out the term of Li Yuanghong. Before leaving Nanjing to come over to Beijing, Feng compelled Duan to accept his appointees to offices in the Yangtze area, where his power base was located. Now there was a division of military power, a sort of split within the Beiyang army between the Premier and President. This led to the “Anfu Club” being created of Duan followers and in turn the Zhili Clique of Feng followers. The Anfu Club was far better organized, better funded and was dominated by Duan and Xu. Xu by the way was nicknamed Little Xu, because he was seen as simply Duan lackey as they say. The Anfu Club also had high ranking politicians like Wang Yitang, Zeng Yujun and Liu Enge. Yet the Anfu Club was not really an alliance of military guys, it was more a political force that exerted influence over Parliament and other parts of the civil bureaucracy. There was no war at this point despite the conflict between Duan and Feng growing. Thus the fighting was all within the political realm for awhile, they simply fought to control government institutions and such. Duan and Feng's main objective at this time was simply to dominate Parliament, and Duan was winning. Duan mae Wang Yitang the speaker of the house who made sure Feng could not dissolve parliament. If Feng dissolved parliament it would call for an election that could see Duan lose premiership again. Now a little bit about the Zhili Clique, from 1917-1920 the clique was not really united politically or militarily. They were really a riff raff of pissed off Beiyang officers and politicians whom Duan Qirui had overlooked. Their most influential military commanders in the beginning were Wang Zhanyuan  the warlord of Hubei, Li Chun and Chen Guangyuan the warlords of Jiangsu. The Zhili clique lacked strong leadership and a real source of funding. They did not have much influence over Parliament, thus they were quite hopeless against the Anhui clique who were only getting stronger each day. In October of 1918, the Anfu Club managed to secure a new president, Xu Shichang. Xu Shichang was the former viceroy of Manchuria, considered a safe pick by the Anfu members. Xu lacked a following, he was quite old, a school type, someone they all assumed could be easily manipulated, basically a new Li Yuanghong. By the end of 1918 the Anfu club appeared to be in a position to unify China for the first time since the death of Yuan Shikai. However they depended heavily on Japanese loans and as a result easily fell victim to those who would label them to be in league with Japan. Members of the Zhili clique capitalized on this, spreading accusations left right and center, making public statements accusing the Anfu members of selling China out to Japan. By 1919 the Anfu group still looked sturdy, but then the Treaty of Versailles situation hit. The public outrage to the peace talks led many Anhui clique members of Duan's cabinet to flee to Japan. Then the May Fourth Movement began, prompting the Zhili clique to latch themselves onto the cause of the student protestors.  Duan Qirui realized his stronghold on Beijing was becoming fragile. Any direct attack against another warlord would be dangerous, thus he tried to do things covertly. He began by trying to economically strangle areas of his enemies, he reduced government funds to their provinces. He also tried to set up new appointments in the central provinces to dominate them. He appointed General Zhang Jingyao to be the military governor over Hunan province. Wu Peifu whose powerbase was in Sichuan and western Hunan saw this as a direct threat. Now when this was occuring, Japan was facing economic problems and thus could no longer loan money to the Anhui clique. This led the Anfu club to seek a new source of revenue. Meanwhile, Wu Peifu reacted to the threat to his territory by seeking out support from the Zhili clique, in particular he went to his old mentor Cao Kun. Cao Kun had been an officer in the Beiyang Army, initially he did not side with Feng or Duan. When the Anhui clique began to move into central China, this drove Cao to the Zhili clique. Wu Peifu approached his old mentor with a plan, it was to be a campaign against the Anhui. Cao agreed to the idea, only if Wu could prove they would have enough forces capable of attacking Anhui's powerbase around Beijing. Wu then went to work calling upon the warlords of Sichuan, Shanxi and Hubei who were all not receiving much funding from the central government. Thus they all banded together. In November of 1919 Wu Peifu met with Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting at Hengyang, where they signed a treaty entitled "Rough Draft of the National Salvation Allied Army" This effectively formed the basis of a true anti-Anhui clique alliance. After this in April of 1920, while visiting a memorial service at Baoding for soldiers who died in Hunan, Cao Kun added more warlords to the new anti-Anhui clique alliance, including the rulers of Hubei, Henan, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Zhili. The conflict became public as both sides began deploying for the coming war. By May of 1920, Wu Peifu was prepared to launch a campaign to strike into northern China and he began to mobilize his armies up the Tientsin-Pukow railway. Yet before this he also did something else, Wu extended a hand out to an unlikely figure, Zhang Zuolin. He explained his campaign plan to Zhang Zuolin, and advised him, a campaign from the northeast above the Great Wall might be very beneficial to them both, wink wink. Thus in March of 1920, Zhang Zuolin had arranged a feast in Mukden for the warlords of Zhili, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang. It was a secret conference to set up a solid 8 province alliance against the Anhui clique. This intense period of scheming saw President Xu Shichang invite Zhang Zuolin over for a meeting in Beijing. American writer Nathaniel Peffer was there and had this to say of Zhang. “Until his triumphal entry into Peking in 1920, Zhang Zuolin had not come down out of his Mukden fastness for years. In those years a legend had grown up round him — a legend of a fierce, uncouth, primitive creature of the wilds. It was with some zest, therefore, that I accepted an invitation of his nearly English-speaking secretary to attend an audience for foreign correspondents. It was with even greater amazement that I found myself bowing to a slender, delicate little person in subdued silks, soft-spoken and with hands as lovely and graceful as I have ever seen on a man. The terror of the north country looked like a precious aesthete. There was nothing of the aesthete in his speech or his demeanour, however. The interview was marked by none of the usual subtle evasion, the nice circumlocution. There was blunt talk on both sides; and it was eloquent that, when our questions verged on the brutally frank, the secretary who interpreted did not translate them as they were put, but softened them until the meaning was transformed. The quailing of the servitors when the tea was a second late also was eloquent. When he recommended the execution of a whole regiment as a proper punishment for mutiny; one was glad the regiment was not in his command”. During the meeting, Zhang told Xu he had no idea what a “zhili group was or what an Anfu group was”. Everyone should just cooperate in general for a northern cause. Then Zhang Zuolin traveled from Beijing to Baoding to meet with the Zhili's defacto leader Cao Kun. As Zhang was on his way, the anti-anfu coalition managed to force President Xu Shichang to dismiss Xu Shuzheng from all of his posts. Allegedly, after this President Xu Shichang sent an invitation to Zhang Zuolin to come back to his residence after his trip to Baoding was done and he planned to kill him. Premier Duan heard of the plan and told the president to not go through with it, because Zhang Zuolin had supported him in the past. Nonetheless Zhang Zuolin high tailed it back to Manchuria under a disguise. Once back in Mukden, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to Xu and Duan stating “in the future instead of mediating politically, I will do so militarily”.  In July various Zhili and Fengtian generals such as Cao Kun, Zhang Zuolin, Wang Zhanyuan, Li Shun, Chen Guangyuan, Zhao Ti and Ma Fuxiang all signed a denunciation of the Anhui clique and its political arm, the Anfu Club. This denunciation was circulated through a telegram called Paoting-fu on July 12th. Duan Qirui was outraged by the situation and demanded President Xu Shichang dismiss Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin from all of their positions. In response to the very obvious threat, Duan formed the National Stabilization army, using 5 divisions and 4 combined brigades with himself as commander in chief and General Xu Shuzheng as his general chief of staff. Duan deployed his forces in 2 fronts, the west covering the regions of Zhouzhou, Gu'an and Laishui and the east covering Hamlet, Beijimiao, Yang and Liang.  Cao Kun gathered their 3rd division and 9 combined brigades to form a Traitor Suppression army, with Wu Peifu as the front line commander-in-chief. The Zhili clique deployed their forces in the region of the Yang hamlet and due west of Gaobei. In the northeast, Zhang Zuolin deployed 3 divisions, roughly 70,00 men at the Machang and Junliangcheng. The battle plan was for the Zhili to strike from the south, converging on Baoding and then Beijing while the Fengtian would advance through the Shanhai pass of the Great Wall to attack the northern territories. Now the Anhui clique basically held dominance over the Beijing area, Anhui and along most of China's coast, however the Zhili clique now was dominating Jiangsu province, thus severing the vital railway that the Anhui depended on to move troops from north to south. While Duan could see the Zhili were mobilizing, the appearance of 3 Fengtian divisions advancing through Shanghaiguan caught his men by complete surprise. Duan in a rather panicked fashion ordered his troops in the capital to converge around Tientsin where he was forced to meet both enemies on a southern and northern front. On July 14th of 1920, the Anhui army made the first move by simultaneously attacking both fronts.  Zhili troops were forced to abandon Gaobei and 2 days later with Japanese assistance the Anhui forces were able to capture the Yang Hamlet, forcing the Zhili to form a second line of defense in the Beicang region. It was at Beicang where the Anhui forces finally lost momentum and were halted. On July 17th, Wu Peifu personally took command of the Zhili western front, where he unleashed a daring maneuver. He outflanked the Anhui forces at Zhouzhou and proceeded to storm the western Anhui army HQ. There Wu Peifu captured the Anhui front line commander-in-chief Qu Tongfeng and many of his officers, including the 1st division commander. After the capture of Zhuozhou, Wu Peifu pursued the retreating Anhui forces towards Beijing.  With the exception of the Anhui 15th division, their western front was all but annihilated.Also on the same day, the Fengtian army crashed into the Anhui eastern front.General Xu Shuzheng received word of the collapse of the western front and promptly fled to Langfang and then Beijing, leaving his forces to surrender to the combined forces of Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin. While the majority of the Anhui forces would be taken prisoners, many also managed to escape to Zhejiang and Shanghai, but they were a fraction of what they once were. By July 19th, Duan realized he had lost the war and publicly announced he was resigning from all of his posts. On the 23rd the combined Zhili and Fengtian forces entered Nanyuan and gradually pacified Beijing accepting the surrender of the Anhui clique. In less than a week of battle, the strongest clique was unexpectedly defeated. Zhang Zuolin's military capabilities received a enormous boom from the short battle. His men had captured vast quantities of arms, armaments, ammunition and military vehicles from the Japanese financed frontier defense army of the Anhui clique. It apparently took 100 railway wagons to send all the looted goods back to Mukden, alongside 12 captured aircraft. Zhang Zuolin also suffered pretty much nothing during the battle. The fengtian had merely put a heavy force on the field, they actually sat back quite idly most of the time allowing Wu Peifu to take the lionshare of the actual action against the enemy.  At this junction Zhang Zuolin faced two large decisions. First he could return to his powerbase in the northeast with assurances Beijing would not interfere with the development of his provinces. The Japanese were likewise constantly hassling Zhang to refrain from getting involved in the national political scene, to just develop his own region. Obviously Japan was arguing this while dangling financial aid because they were heavily invested in Manchuria and did not want any threats aimed at it, especially from Beijing. Wang Yongjiang, who would become a brilliant economic administrator to the Fengtian Clique, aiding in a lot of reforms, he believed the northeast provinces could continue to develop while keeping out of anything going on south of the Great Wall. He also added his voice, arguing Zhang should just stay the hell away from Beijing and its chaos. The second choice was of course, diving right into the chaos. After the fall of the Anhui Clique, Zhang Zuolin for the first time had tasted a real victory, especially one over a superior adversary. For the first time he had the opportunity to influence the politics of China, he could stop being just a mere bandit leader. Could someone like Zhang Zuolin be the man to reunify China? This he wondered. Thus his choices were to go back to being the tiger of Manchuria or become the man who would lead all of China. What do you think he would choose?  I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

If you are still hungry after that, give my personal channel a look over at The Pacific War Channel at Youtube, it would mean a lot to me. The occupation of Mongolia looked like a good idea at the time to Duan Qirui, perhaps its could save his reputation so he could focus on defeating the pesky southern warlords. What a shock it was to find out all of the north rallied together to knock him off his tower. Now the Zhili and Fengtian cliques controlled Beijing, but would they work together, or simply fall into conflict, furthering China's misery.

Let's face it - CQC inspections can be scary stuff for principals and managers (and even associates!) As per your request, I brought on a CQC Specialist Advisor, Dr Chita Davda to share her top tips to passing with flying colours. https://youtu.be/iLkclWANzsk Watch GF021 on Youtube We discussed the common things that CQC checks on a practice, common questions they ask, and some tips on how to pass the examination. The emphasis is on understanding that the CQC and dental professionals share the same core ethics. Inspections aren't about catching each other out but ensuring the best possible care for patients. Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! If you want to learn more about Dr Chita, you can check out her website https://www.trainwithchita.co.uk In the upcoming CPD event at The Shard, attendees will get a rare opportunity to hear from a lead inspector from the CQC. This provides a chance to debunk myths and understand common errors, offering clarity to dental professionals.

You can get CPD from the Web App or Phone App and watch premium clinical videos, for less than a tax deductible Nando's per month? Click below for full episode transcript: Yeah, so we try and keep it as fair as possible. And obviously we'll ask permission of the dentist just to make sure they're okay for us to go through it. [Jaz]And if they say no, is that a cheat code? [Ruchita]If they say no, then we feel like you want something to hide. Try not to say no. I've had it queried a couple of times, but also we have like a warrant when we go into a practice. So in theory, we are able to access what we need to. But I'd also, as a fellow dentist, I like to just keep that respect for everyone. So even if I have to look at the drawers inside a dent, like a surgery, I'll always just be like, do you mind if I have a look? If there's anything you don't want me to see, maybe just get rid of it for a few minutes and then put it back in if that's okay. Jaz's IntroductionHello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome to a group function. We haven't done one of these episodes in a long while. A GF episode is basically when we take a question from the Protruserati. And you know what? I've always kind of shied away from compliance, right? Compliance type things don't excite me so much, but it's important to cover because that's what allows us to practice our dentistry safely. And that's exactly what today is about. So there's something in the UK called the Care Quality Commission or the CQC, and every dental practice needs to have some sort of inspection at some point from the CQC to make sure that everything is safe and well for that practice to deliver patient care. So I brought on today Dr. Ruchita Davda to talk us about what are the common pitfalls we make when it comes to these CQC inspections and how to make sure we pass with flying colors. There are no premium notes for this episode, but at the end you can get CPD for this by answering a few questions on the app. Otherwise, those of you listening, please enjoy those of you watching. It's not a super visual episode, but there's so many important nuggets. If you are a UK practitioner and you have a practice, or you're thinking about buying a practice one day, it gives you great insights into what the CQC actually does and how to make sure you are prepared for that eventuality. Please enjoy the episode and I'll catch you in the outro. Main Episode:Chita Davida, welcome to the Protrusive Dental Podcast. How are you? [Ruchita]I am good. Thank you. And how are you, Jaz? [Jaz]You know what? I've had the sniffles. I've been trying to shake it off for the longest time. And I emailed everyone about it,

We sit down with Houston's favorite meteorologist, Chita Craft. Chita—pronounced Cheetah—is a family name. In fact, there are five generations of mother-daughter Chita's in her family, including her daughter, who is also a "Chita." Chita shares her journey being born in Knoxville, TN to growing up in southern California to becoming a crucial part of the Houston news scene 12 years ago. From forecasting us through our most severe events like Hurricane Harvey and the Texas Freeze to being recognized as one of 'Top 30 Influential Women of Houston' for her work as a meteorologist and her support of the community, Chita is a true Houston legend.

O Markl tinha uma história pendurada desde julho... mas não se esqueceu.

At the age of 23, Danielle Matthews was hit by a drunk driver and sustained a life-altering injury to her brain. The medical world said there was no hope of recovery and told her to accept this life as her “new normal”.  Although her body was physically impaired, her spirit was strong and she refused to believe their diagnosis. Her mind was determined to recover. And she did.She is a testament to the concept of post-traumatic growth and has since built an international business that did $2.2 million in sales last year. She also authored an e-book called, Mind Control: It's All In Your Head, to share her life-altering experience with countless people around the globe.

La trágica historia de Chita y Pancho, los chimpancés que se encontraban bajo el cuidado del Bioparque Ukumarí en Pereira y que fueron sacrificados. ¿Qué pasó? ¿Cuáles serán las consecuencias de este hecho?

La Luciérnaga se enciende para hablar sobre Salvatore Mancuso, uno los comandantes más importantes de las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia, quien se encuentra retenido en Estados Unidos será ‘gestor de paz' del gobierno nacional. Según Gustavo Petro, la designación de Mancuso será para terminar el proceso de paz con las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia, negociación que se desarrolló a partir del año 2002, durante el primer periodo presidencial de Álvaro Uribe Vélez. También, el pasado domingo 23 de julio se presentó un escape de chimpancés en el Bioparque Ukumarí, lo que activó el código rojo de emergencia de la entidad y zonas aledañas, pues las autoridades indicaron que a uno de los animales lo vieron dirigirse hacia el Parque Consotá. Sin embargo, este lunes, el Bioparque emitió un mensaje lamentando el fallecimiento de los dos animales, Pancho y Chita. Asimismo, hoy se presentó un caso de sicariato en la Calle 85 con Carrera Séptima donde delincuentes armados, le quitaron la vida a un ciudadano, quien salia del gimnasio. Los hechos, se presentaron a plena luz del día, hacia las 2:00 p.m. Ante esta grave situación, se pronunció la alcaldesa Claudia López. La Luciérnaga, un espacio de humor y opinión de Caracol Radio que acompaña desde hace más de 30 años a sus oyentes en el regreso a casa.

Dos chimpancés, Pancho y Chita, que habían escapado del Bioparque Ukumarí de Pereira , tuvieron que ser sacrificados, según informó la institución en sus redes sociales.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jason Alexander Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wow! Just wow! I've loved Jason Alexander since Pretty Woman, and in everything, I've seen him in since. He somehow managed to exceed my high hopes and great expectations as a human, a storyteller… a mensch! Such a huge fan, I was anxious that I'd muck it up being in awe. His smile as soon as he entered the Zoom room set me at ease, and his open willingness allowed the conversation to never cease flowing. It would be impossible to cite a favorite “part.” Each story a gem. From his family of NOVIDS (love it!) how they coped, continue to, how he met his wife, adorable story, the secret of their 40-year martial success as Jason has come to see it––magnificent, I've replayed that part thrice already, his parents, how he shifted his dream from magic to show biz, fabulous story there, landing his first Broadway show at 19, Sondheim and Hal Prince, please! The Rink with Liza and Chita, an inspiring tale to take forward, a terrific story about scoring Pretty Woman with a little help from a movie star new friend, and getting Seinfeld, amidst fierce competition. Creating George, changing George, Larry David, Jerry, Julia, and Michael, the group dynamic, Curb, and then we jumped to Jason's upcoming podcast, Really No Really, with Peter Tilden, dropping in February on iHeart and then available wherever you get your podcasts. There was so much more to discuss but the time was flying. Jason agreed to come back and offered to in February to coincide with the drop. Gonna hold him to it. Hours later, I still haven't stopped smiling. I got so much out of this time with Jason, much food for thought, and takeaways all over the place. The topper is that it was such exuberant fun. As much as I admired and adored Jason before, it's that much more having spent this time in his great company. This is a gift to us. Happy Festivus!
