251 AD wasn't just a bad year. It was Rome's near-death experience.First, an emperor vanishes into a Balkan swamp. Decius charges forward with his son—and both are gone. No heroic last stand. No recovered body. Just an army shattered and 20,000 Romans dead.Then comes the second удар: the Plague of Cyprian. Fever. Diarrhea. Throat ulcers. Entire streets empty in days. Ancient sources claim 5,000 dying per day in Rome at the peak.This episode walks you through the moment Romans may have first felt the thought:“This might actually be the fall.”In this video, you'll learn:• Why 251 AD sits at the center of the Crisis of the Third Century• What happened at the Battle of Abritus• How plague + invasion create the perfect collapse spiral• Why Rome survived…barely—and what it cost
This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, we break down the Xbox Developer Direct 2026 and what it tells us about Xbox's near-term future. We dig into Forza Horizon 6's Japan setting, release date, and controversial $120 Premium Edition pricing, and then pivot to a deep dive on the Fable reboot — combat, morality systems, NPC simulation, and why this could finally be the RPG Xbox fans have waited two generations for. We also react to Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation, Double Fine's clay-brawler Kiln, and the wider 2026 slate including Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day, State of Decay 3, and Clockwork Revolution. Along the way we talk Game Pass value with big third-party adds like Death Stranding Director's Cut and Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, plus how Xbox is handling $70+ pricing in a rough economy. In the back half of the show we answer a community question about which cancelled game we'd resurrect and who we'd want making it (yes, Scalebound and StarCraft: Ghost show up), touch on Arc Raiders' surprise success, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade coming to Xbox with a limited Play Anywhere bonus, and share a few thoughts on Riot's 2XKO, cross-media crossovers like Stranger Things in Dead by Daylight, and the future of Xbox on PC and handhelds. Clear takes. No console-war noise. Xbox-forward discussion hosted by Luke Lohr (Insipid Ghost) and Captain Logun.

In today's explosive episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, Patrick will be stepping into the chair for Joe. We refuse to surrender Colorado or America quitting isn't in our DNA as we fight back against the stolen elections. With Antrim County, Michigan, blowing open fresh fraud revelations and President Trump teasing prosecutions ("I learned some things") while Howard Lutnick declares globalism dead in Davos, the tide is turning but the question hangs heavy: Will stolen sovereignty be reclaimed, or will the machine strike back harder?Elite special operations veteran Joseph Teti (Force Recon Marine, Green Beret, CIA Ground Branch operator, commander of CIA-JSOC OMEGA Teams) joins for a no-holds-barred tactical breakdown of Maduro's extraction what it means for U.S. security, the risks of power vacuums and cartel chaos, and chilling parallels to America's escalating civil unrest fueled by paid agitators and radical rhetoric. As Trump hints at softening deportations for "good" workers while DHS launches its "Worst of the Worst" criminal alien site, the stakes couldn't be higher.From Minneapolis mayhem where blue leaders release rapists and murderers while white liberal women scream lies about ICE "gassing babies" to the WEF's crumbling globalist grip, we expose the engineered cultural decay and mass migration destroying nations. Kristi Noem calls out the chaos, a new "Deport White Liberal Women" movement rises, and the suspense builds: Are we on the brink of revival... or irreversible collapse? This is raw, unfiltered truth, catch US LIVE NOW!!
In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Kalliopi Nikolopoulou discuss the intersection of ancient tragedy, justice, and cosmology. Drawing from Dr. Nikolopoulou's book Hunting for Justice: The Cosmology of Decay in Aeschylus' Oresteia, the conversation explores how the relationship between nature and justice has been severed by modern political thought. Together, they examine Aeschylus' Oresteia—the only fully surviving trilogy of Greek tragedy—to trace the move from tribal blood-feuds to the establishment of the Areopagus, the world's first courtroom.The discussion engages the philosophical tension between the "Solar" order of Apollo and the "Chthonic" justice of the Furies, asking whether human reason alone can sustain a civic community. Analyzing the trial of Orestes and its famous hung jury, Dr. Nikolopoulou critiques the Hegelian view of progress, suggesting that when justice is reduced to a mere social construct, it loses its vital alignment with the natural world. The episode explores concepts such as ananke (necessity), the "theological politics" of Athena, and the inherent arbitrariness that persists within even the most rational legal systems.This conversation is essential for those interested in classical philology, legal theory, environmental ethics, and continental philosophy. Rather than viewing the Oresteia as a simple story of legal evolution, Dr. Nikolopoulou reframes it as a warning about the limits of human technology and craft in the face of mortality. Scholarly yet accessible, this episode speaks to the need for a "cosmological" justice that remains open to the biological and existential realities of the human condition.Make sure to check out Dr. Nikolopoulou's book: Hunting for Justice: The Cosmology of Dike in Aeschylus's Oresteia
We're skimming through life—and it's costing us hope. In this wide-ranging, deeply grounding conversation, forester and award-winning author Ethan Tapper shows how forests teach us to slow down, notice complexity, and recognize healing in motion. From the wisdom of old trees—and the life in fallen ones—to birds as messengers of possibility, this episode is an invitation to see the world, not as broken, but as quietly regenerating in ways we never realized.Chapters00:00 – Intro & Welcome04:00 – How to Love a Forest and Why It Resonates10:30 – Why Old Trees Matter More Than Size16:13 – Death, Decay, and the Life of Forests22:05 – Why We Want Forests to Look Like Parks28:45 – Rethinking the Word “Nature”33:10 – Forest Resilience, Diversity, and Global Change39:22 - Break42:39 – Reading Forests Through Birds49:45 – From Knowing More to Doing More1:09:50 – Healing Bear Island1:16:30 – Closing
When men find their affections are still quick, active, and intent on other things, such as the lawful enjoyments and comforts of this life, it is in vain to relieve themselves by thinking the decays they find are in their natural affections, and not (as they ought to be) gracious. If we see a man in his old age grow more in love with the things of this world, and less in love with the things of God, it is not through the weakness of nature, but through the strength of sin.

Jun 18, 2025 In this powerful and wide-ranging conversation, Margaret Kimberley—senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and a leader in Black Alliance for Peace—joins Breht to dissect the spectacle of American decline and, as usual, Kimberley offers a razor-sharp analysis of late-stage capitalism's collapse into cruelty, chaos, and confusion. Together, they explore the Democratic Party's complicity in ushering in this moment, U.S. weapons transfers to Ukraine in support of their proxy war against Russia, and the genocidal assault on Gaza as a revealing - if disturbing - lens into the true nature of the American empire. Kimberley also shares firsthand insights from delegations to Nicaragua, Venezuela, and China, illuminating how the Global South is resisting U.S. domination and reshaping global power. For those feeling the weight of worsening economic conditions, rising fascism, and political demobilization, Kimberley offers hard-won wisdom about organizing in the belly of the beast. We close with discussion about where real hope can still be found.

There is no such thing as maintaining. Life doesn't pause, settle, or hold position. Everything is either adapting forward or decaying quietly. In this episode, I break down why “maintaining” is one of the most comfortable lies we tell ourselves and how stagnation disguises itself as balance, stability, and maturity. This is a conversation about standards, self-respect, and the invisible cost of standing still.Buy my book Above the illusion.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIn this episode of A World Gone Mad, I cover three separate developments that together paint a disturbing picture of where power, accountability, and public institutions are heading.I begin with the Kennedy Center. A national cultural institution created as a memorial to President John F Kennedy has become the focus of a sudden and controversial shift. What's happening raises serious questions about ownership, legacy, and whether anything public is still treated as untouchable.I then turn to the U.S. military, where legal guidance and chain-of-command expectations are colliding in a way that deserves public attention. The language being used sounds calm and procedural, but the implications reach deep into how unlawful orders are handled and who bears responsibility when lines are crossed.This isn't about theory or hypotheticals. It's about how silence can be encouraged without ever being formally ordered, and what that means inside institutions built on accountability.I also address a recent televised address to the nation delivered by the president. The speech was framed as significant, and I walk through why its structure, delivery, and internal contradictions matter in ways that go beyond ordinary political disagreement.These stories are not identical, but they connect. Each one involves authority, pressure, and the reshaping of norms that once felt fixed.This episode doesn't offer comfort or easy conclusions. It asks what we are being trained to accept, and what happens if we stop questioning it.This is A World Gone Mad. I'm Jeff Alan Wolf.If you'd like to contribute with a small donation to my podcast before the holidays it would be appreciated.As I've said multiple times, this is purely optional.

The Asylum is changing. This is an official statement marking the evolution of The Low Meins Asylum Show. What you're hearing now is not an ending it's decay making room for something stronger. We stepped back intentionally, letting old ideas rot so a sharper, darker vision could emerge. To every listener who stayed patient while we rebuilt in silence: this one is for you. The first episode of the new era drops in the new year. Same honesty. Heavier themes. No filler. No mercy. The Asylum isn't gone. It's mutating!

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Jason Williamson, the fiercely articulate frontman of Sleaford Mods, to explore the band's most ambitious and unflinching record yet: The Demise Of Planet X, out 16 January 2026 via Rough Trade Records. Created with long-time collaborator Andrew Fearn, the album expands the Mods' sound both musically and emotionally, featuring rare and inspired guest appearances from Sue Tompkins (Life Without Buildings), Aldous Harding, Liam Bailey, and Nottingham grime MC Snowy. Their single "The Good Life" introduces a striking new dimension, with Gwendoline Christie (Wednesday / Severance / Game of Thrones) and Midlands duo Big Special lending their voices to its escalating inner monologue. Blending vivid sonics, acerbic storytelling and pitch-black humour, The Demise Of Planet X imagines the end of the world not through catastrophe, but through the creeping mundanity and absurdities of modern life. It's a ferocious, witty and deeply human response to cultural collapse across 13 tightly wound tracks. Jason discusses the album's creation, the increasing paranoia and vulnerability in the new material, and the band's most varied musical palette to date. He reflects on the collaborations — from Aldous Harding's feather-light touch on "Elitest G.O.A.T." to Sue Tompkins' beautifully raw presence on "No Touch", from Liam Bailey's soulful turn on "Flood The Zone" to Snowy's razor-edged bars on "Kill List." At the centre of the conversation is "The Good Life", where Andrew Fearn's tense production meets Williamson's rapid-fire delivery, while Christie and Big Special voice the inner turmoil triggered by Jason's own outspoken moments within the music world. "Planet X isn't a concept — it's the world we're living in." — Jason Williamson A bold, biting statement from one of Britain's most vital bands, The Demise Of Planet X captures Sleaford Mods at their sharpest and most emotionally exposed. Join Jason Williamson as he takes us inside the making of The Demise Of Planet X — the chaos, the craft, and the catharsis — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.
Danielle Caruana is an award winning singer songwriter - better known to many by her on-stage moniker of Mama Kin.This spellbinding singer and percussionist taps into the DNA of generations of creatives before her as half of the duo Mama Kin Spender - mesmerising audiences with her firebrand performances and songwriting. Mama Kin Spender's latest album Promises was nominated for an Aria this year, and on this episode of Streets of Your Town Danielle tells us how she lays her heart bare in the lyrics and emotion of this album, going into the layers of the demise and saving of her relationship with fellow musician John Butler. She also wholeheartedly explores how to stay fierce as a woman and is unapologetic about desiring success and recognition for her work. It was such a joy to speak to Danielle from her base at the eclectic creative hub of Fremantle in Perth about her songwriting, her upcoming performance at Woodford Folk Festival on the other side of the country, and her philanthropic work.

Dr. Kevin Munger, Assistant Professor and Chair of Computational Social Science in the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the European University Institute, discusses the concept of temporal validity in social media research. Dr. Munger breaks down why thinking about time is an important component of meta-science, particularly when it comes to evaluating the methodologies of social media research. We also discuss the Meta 2020 Election Research partnership, new pathways in social media research, the logic of quantitative description, and the challenges of political communication in the current grant funding and interdisciplinary landscape of political research. Here are the two articles we discuss in the episode: Temporal Validity as Meta-Science (2023)What Did We Learn about Political Communication from the Meta2020 Partnership? (2024)And links to Dr. Munger's latest books:The YouTube Apparatus (2024)The Generation Gap: Why the Baby Boomers Still Dominate American Politics and Culture (2022)
This week, we look into the murky ethics of media leaks and their growing role in shaping political, corporate, and cultural narratives. From leaked peace plans that spark international diplomacy to budget details released minutes before parliamentary debate, we dissect whether leaks are ethical whistleblowing or manipulative PR tactics. Farzana argues that leaks often reveal broken internal cultures, while Doug, from a journalistic perspective, explores how leaks are used to test narratives and steer public perception. Also in this episode, David wonders if written reports are becoming relics in a world obsessed with video and visual storytelling. And we ask: Can AI help restore strategic thinking in PR? And should public relations finally be regulated like other professions?

The Truth:Creative power is nebulous, making it hard to measure, but it is trained in the same way as physical strength.Your skill level as a producer is moving right now. The question is: which direction?Your skills are either growing or decaying---change is constant. Your development is a dynamic consequence of your decisions.Up close, progress may seem invisible. That's an illusion of perspective. Growth is happening even when you can't point to it in a given moment. The key is to trust that consistent, intentional work produces results---whether you feel them today or not.Creative Strength TrainingStrength---physical or creative---is your capacity to do it when you don't feel like it. It means doing what you said you were going to do. In the gym, that means showing up and doing your workout. In the studio, it means showing up consistently, working through doubt, and carrying ideas to completion.The version of you that goes to the gym will be stronger than the version that doesn't. How much stronger depends on: the consistency of your workouts (refer to Frequency) and the quality of design in alignment with your goals (see The Piñata Method). The same holds true in the studio---consistency and intentional practice generate creative power.The Session Doesn't Count. The Streak Does.What we can lift today versus a year from now has less to do with what we accomplish in one session and everything to do with how many sessions we are able to link together.This is easy to forget if we don't feel ourselves getting stronger moment to moment. From one day or week to the next you may find that you are lifting the same weight, maybe even a little less. There's a recency bias inherent in this natural desire for fast results. We can't remember what it felt like a year ago, but we recognize that compared to yesterday, I'm not lifting any more than I did. The key here is to zoom out. And the longer the recorded history, the more we are able to see. The more we show up on a daily basis, the more recorded history we have in the future. Temperature doesn't increase every single day, but overall the planet is warmer. As you execute your strength training program according to a schedule aligned with your goals you will notice that it grows in a similar way.Trust the PracticeWe cannot control the rate of growth, but growth is inevitable when we are committed to the plan. If someone were to tell you that they are going to the gym five days a week and are expecting to be stronger a year from now, you wouldn't question that assumption. How is creative strength any different?Embracing this is powerful because when we understand that growth is happening, we can commit ourselves to the underlying practice.“But What About...?”Talent. I love this idea from Jerry Seinfeld: talent is like being gifted a thoroughbred horse. It's fast and powerful, but you have to learn to ride it. Unapplied and untrained talent will atrophy over time. Talent is a gift. Training is a choice. Regardless of how much talent you perceive yourself to have or lack, developing skill is your decision.Decay. If we can grow, we can shrink. In the never-ending quest for growth and improvement, it is easy to take what we have for granted. But, what we have gained is not retained if not maintained. If you miss a day or two at the gym, you probably won't notice much of a change. But extend this to a week, a month, or even a year and it becomes obvious. The perspective of decline and deterioration is equally powerful in its reminder that our ability is not a static trait.Plateaus. The paradox of skill development: the more skilled you become, the harder it is to improve. That said, plateaus aren't dead ends, they are firm ground for forward motion. They are platforms to internalize what you learn until it becomes automatic, generating momentum to carry you to the next level. With accumulated experience, you can refine your goals and adjust how you train. The plateau isn't where growth stops---it's where your next climb begins.Making bad music. No matter how much your skill level grows, you're not immune to making bad music. The music we share is always our “best of.” The most direct path to making good music is to make music often. Most of what you make will be bad---that's not a problem, that's the process that leads to your best work.As you head to the studio, start tracking one simple metric: How many sessions can you link together?

The Hogwarts Professor comment threads have been jumping so Nick Jeffery and John Granger decided to dedicate a conversation to a review of the Greatest Hits in the last week (to do a complete review yourself, click on ‘Activity' in the left margin of the Hogwarts Professor Substack home page).After their reviewing the remarkably global and growing audience of Rowling Readers — 36 countries, 46 states! — and tracking The Presence's location — her yacht seems to be in Fiji but she is touring Levesden Studios? — Nick and John read out fifteen comment subjects and discuss the merits, deficiencies, and promise of each.The lede story is the theory shared by Jaclyn Hayes that Cormoran Strike and the late Charlotte Campbell were half-siblings with Jonny Rokeby in common as their absentee father. From her notes: I think Charlotte was blackmailed (via threat of exposing the relatedness btw her and Cormoran) into marrying Jago to provide him a male heir. Perhaps their relatedness is even an open secret in Charlotte's family, similar to the “secret” relatedness of Decima and Rupert in THM (another parallel). Charlotte was forbidden from telling Cormoran about the blackmail, but since she's conniving and obsessed with him, she uses their unexpected encounter at the Paralympics gala to drop hints about her predicament, hoping he'll solve the mystery and save her or take her back once she's fulfilled the terms of her marriage/birth agreement with Jago. She then orchestrates another encounter with Cormoran to drop more hints-- this time at Franco's, which she knows will trigger the memory of her father's outrage at seeing her and Cormoran dating again. She hopes Cormoran will realize her father was angry because he knew they were related, not simply because he thinks Cormoran wasn't good enough for her. She then tells Coromoran things would be different if he'd taken the job her father offered him (calling to mind the job Tara gives Rupert to keep him quiet in THM), and says she found out she was pregnant at Tara's house and later “lost” (not aborted) the baby. Read the whole thing. Ed Shardlow's response, in which he points out that the hallmark given to silver and DNA testing of human beings have a lot in common, and Tamspells and Jaclyn Hayes discussion of Strike's dreams in previous books give the Strike:Charlotte::Rupert:Decima theory some heft. Cheryl Rose Orrocks asked for help with research she is doing on a possible divine marker, mythologically divine at least, being placed in each book at the appearance of that novel's killer. The only holes in her theory at the time Nick and John recorded their conversation were Troubled Blood and Running Grave — and Catherine has since posted a neat solution for Strike 5. Check that out and please share the missing god or goddess from Running Grave!Nick and John also review and discuss:* Ed Shardlow's idea that the characters creating narratives inside Rowling-Galbraith stories are perhaps best understood as creating their stories as Rowling writes hers, i.e., inspired by Lake material and crafted with the tools in their Sheds;* Vicky's thank you to Dr Fimi for the Ursula Le Guin quotation;* Ed Shardlow's ‘RL Mystery' with back-up from Tamspells and J. S. Maleksen;* Cheryl Rose Orrocks' YouTube notes about the Dirty Bomb Theory conversation (and just how wrong John is about Carmen the opera and Carmen Ellacott); and* Answers to listener requests for more information — all of which can be found in the Links section below!In the week to come, John pledges to post his Hallmarked Man Names exegesis, Nick is working on his review of Aurora Leigh, the supposed template of Ink Black Heart (and the only book ever confirmed by Rowling as such), they will record their Part Two ring charting this weekend, and John is reorganizing his 2017 seven week online course — Wizard Reading Formula — for which class Paid Subscribers will get a greater than 50% discount.John and Nick thank everyone listening and especially those active on the comment threads and taking part in the Hallmarked Man Ring Reading Workshop!Links to Subjects Discussed in the Conversation Above:Cheryl Rose Orrocks: Can you let me know the title and author of the book about Gothic elements?The one John used for Harry Potter's Bookshelf was Patterns of fear in the Gothic novel, 1790-1830 by Ann Tracy, now only ‘in print' via a Kindle version.John read from his much longer Harry Meets Hamlet and Scrooge: Harry Potter's Hogwarts Adventures as the Gateway to English Literature in the conversation above, in which the list of subjects is spelled out (e.g., the castle, supernatural atmosphere, horror, isolation, subterranean passages, fragmentation and reunion, prophecy, ancestral curse, tainted blood, bond of blood, graveyard, corpses, Decay of Aristocratic Privilege, Rise of Bourgeoisie, forest, memories, dreams, found book, doppelgangers, scar or tell-tale mark, mysterious stranger, confused origin, night, mist and fog, distant past, death,, etc.).John also recommends The Handbook of Gothic Literature, ed. Marie Mulvy-Roberts, and The Cambridge Companion to Gothic Fiction, ed. Jerrold Hogle.Who is the mystery writer John was talking about who killed a women when she was an adolescent?Anne Perry, author of the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt and William Monk series of historical detective fiction. John recommends Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century, the book written by the journalist who out'd Perry as a convicted murderer writing murder mysteries. Perry died in 2023. J. S. Maleksen I too enjoyed this post, immensely. Can someone recommend a version of Cupid and Psyche and other relevant works of mythology for a Striker who assiduously avoided mythology through seven years of post-secondary education. I'm willing to gut it out in order to understand Rowling's work. TIA.John shared his favorites in the conversation above — Hamilton's Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, Graves' The Greek Myths, Powell's Classical Myth, and Schwab's Gods and Heroes: Myths and Epics of Ancient Greece but Dr Dimitra Fimi responded in the thread today:It's a really difficult question this, and yet it shouldn't be. But the truth is that there is no contemporary authoritative collection of Greek/Classical mythological retellings that's up-to-date with recent scholarship, etc. Catherine recommends Hamilton's book below, which is still good in many respects, but these earlier compilations (like Bulfinch's too) often synthesize different versions of mythological narratives, and omit some interesting variations. My recommendations are a bit heavier on the scholarly side of things, but still readable (the issue will be getting hold of them, but I provide links where possible):1) Classical Myth by Barry B. Powell - as implied by the astronomical price on Amazon.uk (https://amzn.to/3JYkLfF) this is mostly available second-hand now, but there is a scanned version via Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/classicalmyth0000powe (you'll need to create a free account, but once you do you can log in and borrow the book digitally to read)2) Early Greek Myth: A Guide to Literary and Artistic Sources (2 Volumes) by Timothy Gantz is great, and at least easier to get hold of. It gives the tales and their versions as well as an overview of their sources. The Amazon price of Vol. 1, for example, is a bit more accessible: https://amzn.to/4oTFKQ1For those interested in the de profundis interpretation of classical myth, see The Door in the Sky: Coomaraswamy on Myth and Meaning and Symbolism in Greek Mythology by Paul Diel.You can find the post about Beedle the Bard that Dr Fimi discussed in her conversation with Nick and John at her Substack, ‘A Kind of Elvish Craft:' “You must've heard of Babbitty Rabbitty!”: Secondary World Fairy Tales in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Series This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit hogwartsprofessor.substack.com/subscribe

Every time you think you've reached the core of their corruption—boom—another layer. It's like peeling an onion that regenerates itself, each skin slicker and slimier than the last. And as these new layers come off, Democrats finally feel the tears.Leftism isn't complex—it just pretends to be. Peel the outer layer, and you find the next lie underneath. The Left talks about “complex systems,” “nuanced governance,” and “layers of truth.” But strip away the jargon, and what you find isn't nuance—it's rot.

Today on Joe Oltmann Untamed, we expose the deep rot within America's institutions, from the ongoing government shutdown and the betrayal of the American people to the weaponization of foreign aid programs against U.S. sovereignty. President Trump's recent pardons of Republican operatives—including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Mark Meadows, and others—highlight a justice system at odds with fairness and truth, while the saga of Tina Peters and the JAN 6 pipe bomber underscores the corruption and selective enforcement plaguing the DOJ and FBI. With Senate action bringing the 40-day government shutdown closer to resolution, the nation watches as political maneuvering continues to override accountability.Dr. William J. Federer joins to reveal how socialist ideologies have infiltrated U.S. institutions over the past century, from universities to media to government, exploiting cultural and moral decay to consolidate power. He connects America's shift from religious tolerance to hostility against foundational Christian values with the rise of state-controlled narratives, the dismantling of the nuclear family, and the broader attacks on free speech. Through historical insight and biblical principles, Federer outlines the urgent battles Americans face in education, elections, and economics, offering a roadmap to reclaim liberty and restore the moral fabric of the Republic.The program also examines societal decay in real time, from the Olympics banning transgender athletes from female events to liberal policies enabling crime and fraud, all while special-interest groups exploit crises like COVID and immigration for personal gain. The show culminates in a hard-hitting exposé of domestic “color revolution” tactics, targeting the downfall of America. Viewers are called to action: demand justice, prosecute those plotting sedition, and hold every enabler accountable. Joe Oltmann Untamed is your front-row seat to the fight for America—and the roadmap for how citizens can take a stand before it's too late.

Continuing on "Directions for Decomposition" from A Short History of Decay (1949). What is it that humans are inevitably trying to avoid that seems so bad to us? It's our existential separation from others, our essential, incommunicable solitude. Plus, ennui, sloth, and being a "traitor to existence." Get more at partiallyexaminedlife.com.

The Failure of the Hittite Empire: Plague, Poor Leadership, and Destruction AUTHOR NAME: Eric Cline BOOK TITLE: After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations; 1177 BC, the year civilization collapsed The Hittite Empire failed due to internal decay, including a plague that ravaged the royal family and subsequent poor leadership. Their capital, Hattusa, was attacked and burned, possibly by the Kashka. Although the main empire vanished, rump states like Carchemish in North Syria survived as Neo-Hittites. These resilient trading centers, however, were continuously forced to pay tribute to aggressive Neo-Assyrian kings like Shalmaneser III after battles such as Qarqar in 853 BC.
The Vulnerability of Mycenaeans and Minoans: Internal Decay and Collapse AUTHOR NAME: Eric Cline BOOK TITLE: After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations The Minoans and Mycenaeans are considered examples of societies that failed to survive the catastrophe. Though seemingly vibrant, they may have been vulnerable and rotted internally, collapsing when stressors hit, possibly due to overextension on ambitious construction projects. Writing from the era (Linear B) is purely administrative, providing no records of the reasons for their demise or leadership quality. Their societies vanish completely by the 11th century BC.
The Vulnerability of Mycenaeans and Minoans: Internal Decay and Collapse (Redux) AUTHOR NAME: Eric Cline BOOK TITLE: After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations This discussion reiterates that the Minoans and Mycenaeans exemplify societies that did not survive the Bronze Age collapse, ranking them low on resilience. They are thought to have been fragile internally, collapsing under stress, potentially due to overextended ambitious construction projects. Their administrative writing (Linear B) offers no explanations for their demise, but names of their gods continued into the Iron Age.
