Bill and Phil reflect on the Supreme Court's decision to keep Trump on the ballot, break down the results from Super Tuesday, ponder whether Americans are suffering from collective amnesia about Donald Trump, and close with a look at some new research suggesting that Americans reward candidates who take hawkish foreign policy positions even when those positions are in direct conflict with the voters' preference.

Well it's been a great run, and I am ready to get cancelled again. LOL. Just Kidding. I know many of the views that I express here will be controversial, but - I cannot stand the thought of my daughter growing up in a world in which women's own standards for themselves are so damn low. TRIGGER WARNING for this episode: we discuss medical rape. There are some key contextual elements that I forgot to mention, so please see those here: Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, was a eugenicist Whistleblowers on Sexual Assault in Gynecology Dayum, I didn't even get into the history of Twilight Sleep + all that good stuff!!! I also want to make an important DISCLAIMER: I fully believe there are cases in which a safe medical DNC is necessary, particularly for the health of the mother. It is imperative that women fight to retain sovereignty over there own bodies from government authorities. This episode simply offers alternative thoughts for the millions of women who do not fall in that category. In this episode, we cover: - this history of obstetrics - issues with gynecology - perspective on birth interventions - does cancer screening really change outcomes? - the history of birth control - Post Birth Control Syndrome - midwives and abortion and the history of abortion Here are some resources to dive deeper: Witches. Midwives + Nurses History of Birth Beyond the Pill Unassisted Birth ** please note that when I reference "midwives", I am referring to traditional, unlicensed midwives. Unfortunately, licensure and midwifery schools have taken many midwives hostage and created an "at-home OB" situation that centers liability instead of women's rights. and more. Please have the courage to come to me with discussions or questions at samanthamz@protonmail.com instead of an online echo chamber. And as always, this podcast is not for everyone.

We live within the ruins of an ancient civilization whose vast size has rendered it invisible. Remembered in myth as Atlantis, Lemuria, or other lost world archetypes, the remains of this advanced civilization have lain buried for millennia beneath the deserts and oceans of the world, leaving us many mysterious and inexplicable clues. Investigating the perennial myth of a forgotten fountainhead of civilization,  Douglas presents extensive physical and spiritual evidence of a lost great culture, the collective amnesia that wiped it from planetary memory, and the countless ways ancient catastrophes still haunt modern civilization. He explores evidence of advanced ancient technology, anomalous ancient maps, extraterrestrial influence, time travel, crystal science, and the true age of the Sphinx. He examines evidence of Atlantis in the Bible and ancient Armageddon, the Stone Age high-tech found at Gobekli Tepe, the truth of Rapa Nui (Easter Island), the Zep Tepi monuments of Egypt, the mysteries of the Gulf of Cambay, and what lies beneath the ice of Antarctica. He looks at extinction events, Earth's connection with Mars, and how our DNA reveals that humanity has had enough time to evolve civilization and lose it more than once. Exploring the advanced esoteric and spiritual knowledge of the ancients, Doug shows that the search for Atlantis and other lost worlds reflects the search for the lost soul of humanity. Drawing upon Velikovsky's notion of species-wide amnesia caused by the trauma of losing an entire civilization, he reveals how the virtual ruins of a lost history are buried deep in our collective unconscious, constantly tugging at our awareness.  By overcoming “the Great Forgetting,” humanity can find its way out of the haunted labyrinth in which we find ourselves lost today and rediscover the heights of spiritual and technological advancement of our ancient ancestors.

Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast and the Hank Unplugged podcast, recalls Hitler's statement with respect to amnesia—he had given orders to his death units to exterminate the Polish and said, after all, “who remembers the extermination of the Armenians?” Hitler banked on collective amnesia. And the same thing is happening with Islam. Prior to the recent takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban, it was already the second most dangerous place in the world to be a Christian. We as Christians must exercise the power of prayer and do all that is permissible to stay the insidious rise of Sharia in western regions—and pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters, particularly as Afghanistan still remains on our radar.

Mary Dudziak, the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Law at Emory University and co-editor of Making the Forever War: Marilyn B. Young on the Culture and Politics of American Militarism, joins Dan and Kelley this week to talk about the late historian Marilyn Young and her decades-long research into the pathologies of American war-making. We zero in on the popular support for wars, the integration of romantic mythology, and the country’s inability to learn the lessons from each previous conflict. In the first segment, Dan and Kelley talk about the growing national security bureaucracy under Biden, whistleblower Daniel Hale, Israeli nukes, and the troop shell game in Iraq.Read More Mary Dudziak here.

How the killing of Haiti's former president has sparked a constitutional crisis — and how years of U.S. intervention in the Carribean country contributed to the chaos we're seeing now.Read more:The assasination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse last week has plunged the country into turmoil, with many unanswered questions left surrounding the attack. The Post's Widlore Merancourt and Ishaan Tharoor report on what's known so far about the investigation into killing and what a vacuum of power could mean for the safety and security of Haitians.The international response to Haiti's political crisis is made more complicated by the legacy of slavery, colonialism and U.S. occupation — and that shapes how we understand the country today. “Haiti is the poorest country in the hemisphere because of — not despite — foreign intervention,” anthropologist Mark Schuller says in this episode. “Slaveholders punished Haiti for their role in ending slavery.”

The Ottoman state was the last Islamic Caliphate, that at its height brought diverse Muslims together under one banner. Yet, for a state that dominated world politics and created a unique order in the world, very little of its details are studied and understood by Muslims. According to Dr Yaqoob Ahmed, my guest this week, this ‘collective amnesia' was deliberately devised as a means to consolidate the modern nation state. I initially asked Dr Ahmed to discuss Ottoman decline, why this vast empire fell in 1924, but as you will hear – his rich understanding of Ottoman history takes the conversation to many fascinating places. Dr Ahmed has become an authority on Ottoman history, and we talk about his research on Ottoman decline, his move from London to Istanbul, his quest to reorient a Muslim thinking of history, the phenomenon that is Ertrugul and how he believes any Caliphate project has to be profoundly wedded to an accurate reading of our history. I found my discussion with him enlightening and in many ways he challenged my previously held assumptions about the Ottomans during the latter period. I would suggest you take your time to listen to this interview to the very end. As always, we value your feedback, you can leave a comment on our website.

At the start of the pandemic, the UK government's suppression of data prompted Carole Cadwalladr and her colleagues at All the Citizens to found Independent SAGE, a group of scientists who shadow official government scientists. Now, as the UK hurtles towards a June 21 reopening that now looks unlikely to happen, the group's findings are more concerning than ever. On this week's Kicker, Cadwalladr, a feature writer for The Observer, and Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR, discuss what US journalists can learn from the UK's Covid fight, and how misleading euphoric Covid-19 coverage in the US has become.

The tenth and final episode of the Feminism Under Corona chapter follows a conversation with poet, playwright and theatre director Koleka Putuma. Author of the poetry book Collective Amnesia (2017) and the play No Easter Sunday for Queers (2017), she is Founder and Director of Manyano Media, a multidisciplinary project that produces and supports the work and stories of black queer artists and queer life.In a digital encounter last year, Koleka and rapper and songwriter Sho Madjozi were talking about ways of moving the poetry industry forward. Apparently, the term poetry is not related to industrial production. However, a closer look shows that poetry is indeed a part of the industry. For not only books or the materials that make them up are produced, but poetry and its authors have to negotiate continuously with contracts, copyrights, royalties, dissemination and presentation processes, etc. The work of poets and the writers encompasses not only the writing itself alone, but at the same time a constant task of administration and care in order to not only understand the system of the cultural industry they belong to, but to find out how to be able to enact with it. It is for this reason that for Koleka, poetry includes everything that makes it happen in very different ways.This conversation with Koleka Putuma took place at the end of January 2021. Koleka was in Cape Town and Sonia was in Berlin. They talked a lot about poetry, as a practice, as part of her early biography and as a working context. The pandemic appeared also from the social impact and political power that language holds. As we know, the very nature of a virus includes as part of its evolutionary process continuous transformations over time. The fact that these new variants appear in specific regions of this planet should not add national labels to the new mutations. They produce ideological implications and spread accumulated prejudices. And yet the media and many governments insist on referring territorially to processes that are beyond national identities. Structural violence against women and femicides are a pandemic long before the one produced by Covid-19. At the present time, not only do the two coexist structurally, but the current situation generally intensifies violence against women. Every Three Hours (2019) is a poem by Koleka Putuma that refers to the murder rate of womxn in South Africa and the insufficient state and social support to end this pervasive violence. In a world that depicts so many forms of violence in graphs and statistics, poetry and words are able to speak of what numbers do not count and do not tell.

"Communities often respond to traumatic events in their histories by destroying objects that would cue memories of a past they wish to forget and by building artifacts which memorialize a new version of their history. Hence, it would seem, communities cope with change by spreading memory ignorance so to allow new memories to take root. This chapter offers an account of some aspects of this phenomenon and of its epistemological consequences. Specifically, it demonstrates that collective forgetfulness is harmful. Here, the focus is exclusively on the harms caused by its contribution to undermining the intellectual self-trust of some members of the community. Further, since some of these harms are also wrongs, collective amnesia contributes to causing epistemic injustices." https://www.thelionstares.com/post/attitudes-of-yah-collective-amnesia-how-we-forgot-who-we-are-a-real-understanding-of-melanin --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lions-tares/support

Den sydafrikanske digter Koleka Putuma bragede igennem den litterære lydmur med digtsamlingen Collective Amnesia, der bl.a. behandler Sydafrikas svære fortid og nutid og de identitetsforhandlinger, der opstår, når man, som Putuma, er sort, queer og kristen.

Njabulo Ndebele grew up during the apartheid, and is one of South Africa's leading writers and intellectuals. He is the former vice principal at the University of Cape Town, and the author of the groundbreaking book The Cry of Winnie Mandela, in which he blends essay and novel, fact and fiction in an exploration of women’s position in the freedom struggle. Koleka Putuma was born in 1993, and belongs to the generation in South Africa known as «Born Free». She is behind one of the most critically acclaimed poetry collections in years, Collective Amnesia, in which the anger of broken promises is acutely felt. Hear Koleka Putuma and Njabulo Ndebele in conversation with journalist Elise Dybvig. The conversation took place on the 11th of february 2020.   LitHouse is the English language podcast from the House of Literature in Oslo (Litteraturhuset), presenting adapted versions of conversations and lectures from our program.

Den 11. februar 2020 var det nøyaktig tretti år siden Nelson Mandela slapp ut av fengsel. Da apartheidregimet falt, gikk Mandela inn for tilgivelse som strategi. Men slapp de ansvarlige for apartheid for lett unna? Tok apartheid egentlig slutt? Og hvor står Sør-Afrika i dag?Njabulo Ndebele vokste opp under apartheid og er en av Sør-Afrikas ledende forfattere og intellektuelle. Han er tidligere viserektor ved University of Cape Town, forfatter av skjønnlitteratur og sakprosa og kanskje mest kjent for den banebrytende boka The Cry of Winnie Mandela. Koleka Putuma er født i 1993, og dermed tilhører hun generasjonen som i Sør-Afrika kalles «Born Free». I debutdiktsamlingen Collective Amnesia, en av de mest oppsiktsvekkende og kritikerroste debutene på flere år, kan man ane sinne og frustrasjon over svekne løfter og et land hvor idealet om en regnbuenasjon langt fra er oppfylt. Putuma og Ndebele møtte kulturjournalist Elise Dybvig til samtale om Sør-Afrika i skyggen av Mandela. Samtalen fant sted på Litteraturhuset 11. februar 2020.    Litteraturhusets podkast presenterer bearbeidede versjoner av samtaler og foredrag i regi av Stiftelsen Litteraturhuset.

‘No one owns their stories and the telling of them like white male writers. They are given endless opportunities for it. They can write about anything. They can pen rants about white-men problems and white-men wealth. They can wax lyrical about cars and boats and spaceships. They can have reams and reams of motivational articles published about being ‘bosses'. Without, mind you, ever having to refer to sexual harassment, unequal opportunities, discrimination or unequal pay. But the cherry on the vanilla cake is that they also get to write about the soft, sensitive, soulful stuff. You know?' – Haji Mohamed Dawjee South Africa has been proliferated by conversation about race. We have heard the likes of Koleka Putuma tackle the issue of race through her spoken word and her debut collection of poetry Collective Amnesia. The history of slavery, colonialism and apartheid has shaped the psyche of the nation of South Africa. In the early years of South Africa as a democracy, we were known as the Rainbow nation. Many have disputed this description and offered an account of the South Africa they have lived in. Haji Mohamed Dawjee adds to the choirs of voices in her collections of essays called ‘Sorry, not sorry: experiences of a brown woman in a white South Africa'. A timely book written by a brown womxn, speaking truth to power. Haji was the first social media editor in a newsroom at the Mail & Guardian, where she went on to work as deputy digital editor and a disruptor of the peace through a weekly column. She recalls one of those articles that caused still waters to be unsettled in her book. In this episode, we sat down with the gorgeous Haji to speak about her book. The conversation, held at our favourite bookstore ‘Bridgebook,' was filled with a diverse audience who had travelled near and far to listen to Haji. Our conversation canvassed whiteness and literature and why she writes what she likes. Throughout the conversation we returned to one theme, which is interracial marriage, inquiring why she did not spend some time in her book sharing her thoughts about interracial dating and marriage, owing to the fact that she was married a white man and now is married to a white womxn. We spend some time talking about intersectional feminism and what it looks like for her. The conversation led us to talk about representation and the power of Serena Williams, who she greatly adores. We laughed a lot while revisiting her essay ‘Begging to be White', this essay had some in stitches. We spoke about the value of whiteness and how costly and taxing it can become. The conversation covered so much more themes that emerged in her book. This conversation was challenging, necessary and ripe for the moment. follow Haji on Twitter: @sage_of_absurd

Den sydafrikanska poeten och dramatikern Koleka Putuma har fått stort internationellt genomslag med sin diktsamling Collective Amnesia. Hanna Jedvik har träffat Koleka Putuma. För fem år sedan gick Apartheidledaren och den tidigare sydafrikanske presidenten Nelson Mandela ur tiden. 5 december 2013 dog Nelson Mandela 95 år gammal, i Houghton Estate utanför Johannesburg i Sydafrika. 26 år av sitt liv spenderade Nelson Mandela bakom lås och bom sedan greps och fängslades av regimen 1964. Först 1990 släpptes han fri för att sedan bli landets president mellan åren 1994 och 1999. En av dagens kulturutövare i Mandelas hemland är den sydafrikanska dramatikern och poeten Koleka Putuma. Hennes debutbok, diktsamlingen Collective Amnesia, har fått stort internationellt genomslag. I den skriver hon bland annat om kampen emot diskriminering och för mänskliga rättigheter Sydafrika idag. Och kanske framför allt om hur den har påverkats av arvet efter Nelson Mandela.  Hanna Jedvik hanna.jedvik@sverigesradio.se

'Being black, woman and alive is a metaphysical dilemma, I haven't quite conquered yet' -Ntozake Shange is quoted as saying. And so as The Cheeky Natives, we sat with the prodigious Koleka Putuma as we discussed the metaphysical dilemmas of being black and woman and alive in the era of melanin magic.
