Podcasts about defectors

Originally released on the 27th of May 2015!!!  (The original episode contained) In episode 20 of the podcast we catch up with what each other has been watching and/or listening to since last we recorded.  Liam tells of his experiences in America. Next we look at the connections between some of the lost classic Doctor Who serials and a landfill in a New Mexico desert (audio segements came from ATARI: Game Over, a documentary made in 2014).  I reference some facts that The Tin-Dog Podcast's host Michael, has made in some of his past podcasts (I don't know which one, but I'm sure they exist). Once we hit the news, Liam shares his frustration with Disney and their lack of consideration towards Star Wars fans for what they'll be doing with the continuity established in the book series once episode VII comes out in December.  We discuss the news and future releases from Big Finish regarding Torchwood, Doom Coalistion, The Worlds of Big Finish (extreme crossover release) and it's potiential marketing sceme.  When we get to the reviews we first finish discussing The Two Doctors classic story, focusing on audio only, but my explaining of what happened visually to add clarification to the story.  Next we discuss the Big Finish releases: The Defectors - by Nick Briggs; Last of the Cybermen - by Alan Barnes; Death Match - by Matt Fitton; Suburban Hell - by Alan Barnes; The Well-Mannered War - by Gareth Roberts, adapted by John Dorney; Damaged Goods - by Russell T. Davies, adapted by Jonathan Morris. During the review of Damaged Goods we get into the a second discussion/debate on Doctor Who "Cannon" or what is and what is not cannon, and then back to Star Wars cannon and not cannon.  I make a reference to @DoctorSquee's Gallifrey Stands Podcast interview with Paul Cornell. We finish up the show reviewing Jago & Litefoot sereis 9, Blake's 7 Truth and Lies, and Terrahawks Vol. 1, before a quick Game of Thrones discussion to end episode 20. Stay tuned for more Doctor Who goodness, including monthly Big Finish reviews, audio commentary, retro-reviews, the DWAP "Rassilon Seal of Approval" and beyond!

During the Vietnam War , over 50 billion pieces of propaganda were dropped on North Vietnam, many of which were safe conduct passes. These passes would encourage defecting to the south and guarantee that the pass holder would not be harmed. This was considered a success since at least 160,00 soldiers used the passes and surrender.

As Nigel Farage announced 29 councillors had defected to Reform, the message was clear: his party wants to move on from its row with suspended MP Rupert Lowe.Farage welcomed his latest recruits in a central London press conference, and with fifteen of those councillors having crossed over from the Conservatives, Kemi Badenoch no doubt has an even bigger headache than before as Reform continue to lead her party in the polls ahead of May's local elections. But the elephant in the room was last week's Reform civil war, after MP Rupert Lowe was suspended from the party over allegations of verbal threats and workplace bullying - allegations he denies. Farage himself addressed the issue in his speech, saying that it had caused "consternation" but that the "upset is very much at the edges"Camilla caught up with Nigel Farage after the press conference to ask him whether he was capable of being the next Prime Minister if he can't keep a party of five MP's in check.And then once she was reunited with Kamal, they also reflected on the reporting this weekend that Farage had dinner with former Boris Johnson advisor and Brexit architect Dominic Cummings, in order to discuss how the Conservatives and Reform could work together to "unite the right".Producers: Georgia Coan and Lilian Fawcett Senior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: Andy MackenzieStudio Director: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss StudioHosted on Acast.

Hace cuatro años, Donald Trump fue rechazado en las urnas, pero en este 2024 ha logrado un triunfo absoluto.

A white supremacist of color seems like a contradiction. Yet recent years have brought to light unsettling examples, including an Afro-Latino leader of the Proud Boys and a Latino mass shooter with neo-Nazi sympathies. These men are among a small but growing number of Latinos in the United States who gravitate toward the far right and adopt radical views on race, Christian nationalism, and immigration.  In an eye-opening new book, Defectors, Emmy Award–winning journalist Paola Ramos uses interviews, historical context, and expert analysis to shatter the longtime understanding of Latinos as a political monolith and uncover a diversity of opinion that makes room for white nationalists and avowed racists. Listen to a recording of our expert panel's virtual discussion of this alarming trend.

Democrats have relied on the Latino vote but we are seeing a red shift. More Latinos are voting for Republican candidates. This is despite the anti-immigration rhetoric and threats of mass deportations. Paola Ramos investigates and has written the book : "Defectors – the rise of the latino far right and what it means for America."

Latino voters in the U.S. overwhelmingly support Democratic causes and candidates. But in recent years, polls show that Latinos have been shifting to the right — and some even to the far right. In her new book “Defectors,” journalist Paola Ramos reveals the “quiet radicalization of Latinos [that] is taking place across the nation in plain sight.” Ramos traveled the country to talk to a range of right-leaning Latinos, including white supremacists and border vigilantes. She joins us to talk about the book, the importance of not viewing any community as a monolith, and what her reporting portends for the future of American politics. Guests: Paola Ramos, journalist and author. Her new book is "Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America." She is a contributor for Telemundo News and MSNBC, where she is the host of “Field Report.”

On today's episode, acclaimed spy authors Joseph Kanon and Paul Vidich sit down for an intriguing discussion that delves deep into the world of writing spy fiction.

Both authors underscore the critical role of dialogue in character development. Check out Joseph Kanon's latest novel Shanghai. Joseph Kanon also reflects on the dramatic weight of World War Two settings in his novels and the moral imperatives faced by those in desperate circumstances.

Erik R. Scott (Associate Professor of History, University of Kansas) gave a lecture on "Defectors: How the Illicit Flight of Soviet Citizens Built the Borders of the Cold War World" on Thursday, November 2, 2023 at 4:00 pm in 206 Ingraham Hall, 1155 Observatory Drive. About the lecture: Defectors fleeing the Soviet Union seized the world's attention during the Cold War. Their stories were given sensational news coverage and dramatized in spy novels and films. In contrast to other migrants, defectors were pursued by the states they left even as they were eagerly sought by the United States and its allies. Taking part in a risky game that played out across the globe, defectors sought to transcend the limitations of the Cold War world. Recently published by Oxford University Press, Defectors: How the Illicit Flight of Soviet Citizens Built the Borders of the Cold War World, is the first history of defection on a global scale. The book charts a global struggle over defectors that unfolded among rival intelligence agencies operating in the shadows of an occupied Europe, in the forbidden border zones of the USSR, in the disputed straits of the South China Sea, on a hijacked plane 10,000 feet in the air, and around the walls of Soviet embassies. Surprisingly, the competition for defectors paved the way for collusion between the superpowers, who found common cause in regulating the spaces through which defectors moved. Disputes over defectors mapped out the contours of modern state sovereignty, and defection's ideological framework hardened borders by reinforcing the view that asylum should only be granted to migrants with clear political claims. Although defection all but disappeared after the Cold War, this innovative work shows how it shaped the governance of global borders and helped forge an international refugee system whose legacy and limitations remain with us to this day. About the speaker: Erik R. Scott is Associate Professor of History and director of the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies at the University of Kansas. He is the author of Familiar Strangers: The Georgian Diaspora and the Evolution of Soviet Empire (OUP, 2016) and editor of The Russian Review.

2024-04-14 Don't Be Detoured By Defectorsby Pastor Chris BergScripture Reference: 1 John 2:18-2718 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life.26 I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has warned that his country must be more ready for war now than ever before in the latest escalation of aggressive rhetoric from the communist regime . It follows the test launch of an advanced type of intermediate-range ballistic missile earlier this month. In January, North Korea abandoned its policy of reunification with the South, labelling it as the principle enemy, and abolishing government agencies responsible for cooperation. But in the Korean diaspora in Australia, hopes of peace and unity live on. Defectors and their families have come together for a rare meeting with South Korean migrants, to strengthen ties outside the Korean Peninsula.

After the downing of the Russian plane on Wednesday, Vitaly speaks to Petro Yatsenko, the Ukrainian spokesman for the coordination for the treatment of prisoners of war. Victoria and Vitaly also discuss the successes of his team's ‘I want to live' hotline that helps Russian soldiers defect.

It follows President Zelensky and his team in the lead up to the full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

This week Justin sits down with Joe Augustyn. Joe was a member of the Central Intelligence Agency's clandestine service for 28 years, working as a case officer in several locations and later as Chief of Station on three different occasions. After the September 11th attacks, he was appointed the deputy associate director of CIA for Homeland Security until the standup of the brand new Department of Homeland Security in November, 2002. He's also been credited as being one of the original architects of what is now called the National Counterterrorism Center. Joe even served as Chief of Staff for the Deputy Director for Operations, where he monitored and helped manage the CIA's covert action programs. Today, he dives into one of his assignments as Director of the CIA's Defector Resettlement Center, responsible for the resettlement of high level defectors granted entry into the United States. In particular, they discuss Aleksandr Zaporozhsky, the KGB agent who notoriously gave up Alrich Ames.Connect with Spycraft 101:Check out Justin's latest release, Covert Arms, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: spycraft-101.myshopify.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Find Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.Support the show

A House Republican bill to prevent a government shutdown is voted down in the House when 21 House Republicans vote 'no'. They instead want to pass all the regular government spending bills and negotiate with the Senate and White House on that, and a leader of the group, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), spoke out against the border security language added to the bill, saying it was not tough enough on illegal immigration.  But time is short. The deadline to keep the government operating is midnight Sunday, October 1, the new fiscal year. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has died at the age of 90. She was the longest-serving female Senator ever. Tributes are coming from both Democrats and Republicans..  Outgoing Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, said at his retirement ceremony that the U.S. military owes its loyalty to the Constitution, not to a "wannabe dictator" in apparent reference to former President Donald Trump with whom he has had public disagreements, even to the point that Donald Trump suggested that some of Gen. Milley's actions would, in earlier times, be punishable by death. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Defectors fleeing the Soviet Union seized the world's attention during the Cold War. Their stories were told in sensational news coverage and dramatized in spy novels and films. In contrast to other refugees, they were pursued by the states they left even as they were sought by the United States and other Western governments eager to claim them. Taking part in a risky game that played out across the globe, defectors sought to transcend the limitations of the Cold War world.  Defectors: How the Illicit Flight of Soviet Citizens Built the Borders of the Cold War World (Oxford University Press, 2023) follows their treacherous journeys and looks at how their unauthorized flight gave shape to a globalized world. It charts a global struggle over defectors that unfolded in a crowded courtroom in Paris, among rival intelligence agencies operating in the shadows of an occupied Europe, in the forbidden border zones of the USSR, in the disputed straits of the South China Sea, on a hijacked plane 10,000 feet in the air, and around the walls of Soviet embassies. In doing so, the book reveals a Cold War world whose borders were far less stable than the notion of an "Iron Curtain" suggests. Surprisingly, the competition for defectors paved the way for collusion between the superpowers, who found common interest in regulating the unruly spaces through which defectors moved. Disputes over defectors mapped out the contours of modern state sovereignty in previously contested places, and defection's ideological framework hardened borders by reinforcing the view that asylum should only be granted to migrants with clear political claims. Although defection all but disappeared after the Cold War, it helped forge an international refugee system whose legacy and limitations remain with us to this day Erik R.

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors we weigh in on the writers' strike in Hollywood (and give props to the actors for joining them). We talk about the soldier who defected to North Korea, and then revisit our “Where's the Lie?” segment in order to help men save money. “Pastor Jack's Off” returns with a warning that he himself has never heeded, and biebers involve stoplights and insurance companies.  

Some young North Korean defectors have taken to social media to challenge misguided prejudices in South Korea, their new home. They are producing ‘vlogs' for YouTube aimed at educating locals about the realities of life in North Korea. They've proven popular. Over the last two decades, around 30 thousand North Koreans have defected to South Korea for a better life. In this episode, The Take asks if the defectors' YouTube videos are enough to change mindsets.
