After Smallville ends, Allison Mack leaves behind her life in Brooklyn to move full-time to Albany, where she immerses herself in Keith Raniere's teachings. But when a fellow NXIVM member urges her to consult Keith about her deepest insecurities, boundaries in their relationship begin to blur. Soon, Allison is invited to join a secretive women's group within NXIVM—one that promises empowerment but demands submission.

Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses the strong US military presence near Venezuela, intended to pressure dictator Nicolás Maduro to leave. While the opposition (led by elected President González) is ready to govern, the Trump administration hesitates due to security concerns. The major risk is chaos: following Maduro's exit, drug cartels (like Cartel de los Soles) and other groups (like ELN and Tren de Aragua) might fight dissident generals, leading to instability rather than a smooth transition to democracy.

Is embodiment a tool in the ongoing fight for collective justice? In the intro, I share how the wellness world shaped my understanding of embodiment (why it matters and what it is for) and share how two decades of navel-gazing conditioned me to be complacent in the face of injustice. I catch us up on some current events, then share a riveting interview with Dr. Lesa Clark, a strategic leader in intercultural engagement and equity. Lesa shares personal stories from her family's history and how they shaped a lifelong commitment to social justice. She and I discuss embodied leadership, the importance of integrity (vs. performativity) in DEI initiatives, and the need for collective action and courage to confront oppressive systems. Lesa speaks to the complex interplay between leadership and followership, inviting us to break free from groupthink and to embody values that foster societal change. The discussion concludes with reflections on resilience, allyship, and the pursuit of justice.Dr. Lesa C. Clark is a strategic leader with expertise in intercultural engagement, leadership development, and equity. With over 20 years of experience, she empowers organizations and individuals to cultivate inclusive cultures that prioritize diversity and facilitate authentic cross-cultural engagement. As the former Executive Director for Intercultural Relations and Women's and Gender Equity Centers at Old Dominion University, Dr. Clark spearheaded collaborative campus-wide DEI initiatives. She developed and instructed courses centered on cultural humility, connecting this framework to cultural competency and emotional intelligence. She recently completed a three-year research project that foregrounds the leadership of Black birth workers, a designation frequently overlooked in both academic literature and professional settings. Dr. Lesa Clark demonstrates how culturally grounded ancestral practices challenge and dismantle harmful practices, advancing more responsive and equitable maternal healthcare. Additionally, her work explores the leadership of Black women in Kenya, South Africa, and the United States, offering a comprehensive, global, and historical analysis of intersectional leadership and advocacy. Dr. Clark has advanced intersectional leadership paradigms that promote inclusion, respect, and equity, envisioning and enabling the development of systems and communities in which all members are empowered to flourish, thrive, and lead effectively.Referenced In This Episode:How To Stand Up to a Dictator, by Maria RessaACLU - Neglect & Abuse in ICE DetentionAnthony Boyd - Equal Justice InitiativeDr. Resmaa Menakem - Somatic AbolitionismTo Stop a Tyrant, by Ira Chaleff Donna Ladkin - On EmbodimentSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

Het zijn bijzondere dagen. Koning Juan Carlos publiceert bittere memoires. Het Spaanse volk herdenkt de dood van dictator Francisco Franco en de troonsbestijging van die jonge prins – nu 50 jaar geleden. En staat stil bij het mirakel van democratisering, economische bloei en politieke impact in Europa. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken in de bloederige, soms wanhopige historie van de tirannieke Franco-jaren. Maar ook in de verrassende en opportunistische kanten van de wrede generaal en de onverwachte aspecten van zijn repressieve bewind. De ruzie over het volkslied, de promotie van de Flamenco en de snelle onttakeling van zijn dictatuur. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Hield zonder scrupules huis in de koloniën, kreeg hoge rangen en werd door de linkse regering van de nieuwe democratische republiek opzij gezet. Hij steunde een staatsgreep die mislukte en ertoe leidde dat hij als enige topmilitair overbleef om een burgeroorlog daarna uit te vechten. Die won hij in drie jaar dankzij steun van Benito Mussolini en Adolf Hitler en de funeste verdeeldheid van zijn opponenten. Als overwinnaar ging hij beestachtig tekeer. 'De Witte Terreur' vermoordde ruim 300.000 mensen en waarschijnlijk meer. Nog altijd worden massagraven gevonden en herleeft de angst, de wanhoop en het verdriet van die jaren. Franco's bewind was repressief en hij regeerde als een potentaat zonder grondwet, staatsstructuur of parlement - feitelijk bij decreet. Maar was hij een fascist pur sang? De historici debatteren daar nog steeds over. Van huis uit reactionair-katholiek was hij allesbehalve democraat. Evenmin was hij vies van complottheorieën over bolsjewieken, vrijmetselaars, joden en links die volgens hem het ware Spanje ondermijnden. De steun van Hitler en Mussolini tijdens de Burgeroorlog incasseerde hij moeiteloos, maar erg veel dankbaarheid hoefden zij niet te verwachten. Franco voerde een bewust ondoorzichtige politiek, waardoor hij iedereen op afstand hield. Churchill en Roosevelt knuffelden hem opportunistisch, Hitler wantrouwde hem diep. Na de oorlog verzette hij de bakens. Hij herstelde de monarchie zonder een koning op de troon te zetten, liet zich propagandistisch vieren als redder van vluchtelingen en joden en legde een grondwet op die zijn almacht bezegelde. Probleem was wel het dreigend bankroet en de schrijnende armoede. Economische hervormingen kostten tijd, maar na 1959 werd Spanje vele jaren groeikampioen van de wereld, samen met Japan. Repressie, massale emigratie - feitelijk 'export van menselijk kapitaal' - en economische bloei ondermijnden uiteindelijk het regime. Franco moest de teugels loslaten, ook vanwege ouderdomsziekten. Achter zijn rug werd een snelle transitie naar een eigentijds, Europees en democratisch bewind ontworpen. Zijn dood in 1975 viel samen met het eind van de dictatuur in Portugal en Griekenland en gaf een enorme impuls aan de democratisering van Zuid-Europa. Juan Carlos maakte daarbij als koning veel tempo. De technocraat Adolfo Suarez werd de Thorbecke van Spanje. De inzet en prestaties van deze eerste vrije premier maakten hem een icoon van democratie en vernieuwing. Zonder Juan Carlos en Suarez was de vreedzame transitie waarschijnlijk veel minder succesvol verlopen. *** Verder kijken Franco probeert Engels te spreken (1936) Franco dankt andere landen voor steun in de Spaanse burgeroorlog (1937) Het leven van Franco De laatste toespraak van Franco (1975) Jarcha - Libertad Sin Ira (1977) *** Verder luisteren 355 - 2023: modern en succesvol Spanje wordt EU-voorzitter en houdt verkiezingen 312 - Schurend verleden - over cancelculture, politiek en geschiedenis (en Spaanse pijn) 311 - De wereld volgens Simon Sebag Montefiore (over de wereldoorlog tussen Spanje en sultans) 414 – Portugal: 50 jaar Anjerrevolutie 158 - Portugal: aan zee is een land nooit klein 478 - Was Hitler een socialist? 314 - Prins Heinrich XIII en het verlangen naar een autoritair Duisland 451 - 75 jaar Duitse Democratie 242 - Adrianus van Utrecht, de Nederlandse Paus (en eerst regent van het Spaanse wereldrijk) 49 - De koningen van Hispanje die wij altijd hebben geëerd *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:28:39 – Deel 2 00:53:12 – Deel 3 01:34:10 – EindeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

3. Social Commentary, Goddard, and The Great Dictator Scott Eyman Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided Chaplin's 1931–1932 world tour revealed global squalor, which drove his social commentary in Modern Times. The film's politics concerned the FBI, though Chaplin was extremely wealthy and privately mocked radical labels. He lived with Paulette Goddard for ten years, fabricating a marriage and sham divorce to aid her career. Chaplin self-financed all his major features, including The Great Dictator. He delayed making sound pictures because he believed the Tramp should not speak, thereby preserving his character's universality. 1918

When lies ignite chaos, truth becomes the only defense. Tara exposes how the “Trump the dictator” narrative collapsed live on MSNBC after the liberal Ninth Circuit Court confirmed his National Guard deployment was fully legal. From Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker's incendiary claims to celebrity rants comparing Trump officials to Nazis, Tara breaks down how false talking points are radicalizing the left and leading to open calls for violence — including shocking remarks from the president of Colombia suggesting Trump should be “taken out.” The episode also dives into cartel infiltration, a massive AWS outage that revealed America's digital vulnerability, and election updates in South Carolina.

Facts don't fear the narrative — they destroy it. Tara dismantles the media's “Trump the dictator” narrative with hard data, court rulings, and first-hand analysis. Despite endless claims that the former president is breaking the law, not a single outlet can name what law was supposedly violated. Meanwhile, newly released FBI and DHS statistics reveal record-breaking arrests of violent criminals, child predators, and human traffickers — all while the Ninth Circuit Court, one of the most liberal in America, ruled Trump's use of the National Guard was completely lawful. Tara exposes how political rhetoric from figures like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker fuels misinformation, while real enforcement results show a dramatic drop in crime under restored border and public safety policies.

When the narrative falls apart, the truth gets loud. Tara breaks down the weekend's chaos surrounding the “No Kings” protests — where anti-Trump activists accused the former president of being a fascist intent on terrorizing minorities. But when the Ninth Circuit Court — long considered liberal — ruled that Trump's use of the National Guard was lawful, the media narrative crumbled live on air. Tara and Lee expose how false claims of “dictatorship” and “illegality” are radicalizing the left, how Democratic leaders are fueling outrage with misinformation, and why global criminal networks are now reacting to Trump's renewed law enforcement push.

P&C drink Skipjack Pilsner and then wonder what in the world is going on with all this talk about Trump the dictator. The boys evaluate the liberal narrative that Trump is an authoritarian dictator and find it woefully lacking. The "big one" from the liberal side is January 6 and the claim that the election was stolen. There is some validity to that claim, but it's exaggerated. A lot. The bottom line is that an authoritarian dictator would have behaved very differently. Trump has been accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election, calling the press the “enemy of the people,” and promising “retribution” against his political enemies. But are these actions truly unique? Or are Trump's critics holding him to a double standard?In this episode, we take a deep dive into the “dictator” narrative:Did Trump actually weaponize the Justice Department, or just use it like his predecessors?How do his actions compare to Obama's “Russia hoax” strategy or Biden's push to censor online speech?What defines a real threat to democracy — policy overreach, rhetoric, or selective enforcement of the law?And what would it mean if Trump really does return to power with plans for “retribution”?We explore the accusations, the double standards, and the uncomfortable question: Is Trump a dictator — or just the mirror reflecting our own political hypocrisy?

Edition No251 | 07-10-2025 - “Happy Birthday, Mr. Putin — Ukraine's Gift to the Dictator, Long-Range Strikes.” A birthday present for Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian style — deep-strike drone operations timed to his birthday. We'll unpack the symbolism of this move, the military mechanics behind it, and what it suggests about escalation, deterrence, Kremlin overreach and Ukrainian strength.The Kyiv Post headline is vivid: “On Putin's birthday, Ukraine launched a 209-drone strike deep into Russia” (Kyiv Post). This birthday present had teeth and quite a bite. * Overnight, Ukraine launched 209 drones targeting deep Russian territory. (Kyiv Post)* The strike allegedly reached Tyumen, over 2,000 km from the border. The target: an oil refinery (the Antipinsky facility) in Tyumen.* Moscow claimed it intercepted 184 drones overnight; others say those numbers may be inflated. (Russian MoD claims)* Local Telegram channels in Tyumen reported explosions, fire trucks, emergency response. ----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

Today's Headlines: President Trump's creeping authoritarianism tour continues. The White House ordered 300 Illinois National Guard troops federalized to “protect federal assets” during ongoing ICE raids in Chicago — even though a federal judge (a Trump appointee, no less) just blocked a similar deployment in Portland for being, quote, “untethered to the facts.” Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom is suing over Trump sending his state's Guard to Portland, telling him to get his own troops. Those troops, by the way, are backing ICE's new “Operation Midway Blitz,” a dystopian raid that saw helicopters, grenades, and tear gas used on a Chicago apartment building at 1am, and the administration has since pressured Apple and Google to remove apps that warn users of ICE activity — both complied within hours. In other weird Trump administration things, the Treasury Department is reportedly considering minting a $1 coin featuring Trump's face and the slogan “Fight Fight Fight” for the U.S.'s 250th anniversary, while the longtime director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library was ousted after refusing to hand over a historic sword for Trump to gift to King Charles (yes, really). In South Carolina, a state judge and her husband barely escaped a massive house fire that's now under investigation. Abroad, Trump says a Gaza ceasefire deal is “days away,” despite Netanyahu reportedly responding to him with classic Bibi pessimism. Over 450 activists, including Greta Thunberg, were detained after the Israeli navy intercepted the “Global Sumud Flotilla,” with reports of abuse in detention. Also, Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to just over four years in prison on prostitution-related charges — and apparently had speaking gigs lined up for the same week. And finally,, the government remains shut down while Speaker Mike Johnson continues to block the swearing-in of congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Friends,Today we're trying something of an experiment. I've asked several of my young colleagues — all 50 years younger than me! — to join in discussion about a remarkable week in which Trump has fully bared his authoritarian self. Trump is visibly and unapologetically targeting his political enemies for criminal prosecution. He's unilaterally and capriciously raising import taxes (tariffs) that will cost Americans dearly. He's threatening the media with more punishment should it continue to criticize him. Katie is our Texas correspondent, Vish our Wisconsin correspondent, Michael is here in the Bay Area, and I'm your old host. Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join in the conversation.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover new details on Charlie Kirk's assassination, major economic signals ahead of a Fed decision, Senate Republicans' “nuclear option” on confirmations, Trump's crackdown on drug ads, immigration fallout with South Korea, and global headlines from Sweden, Germany, and North Korea. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend.   Charlie Kirk's Final Flight and Killer Hunt: VP JD Vance escorted Kirk's body home on Air Force Two, calling him “a true friend” and vowing, “You ran a good race, my friend. We've got it from here.” Investigators recovered a Mauser rifle and cartridges allegedly marked with Antifa and transgender slogans. The assassin, still at large, is described as a man in his mid-20s.   Economic Warning Lights: Producer inflation drops as businesses eat tariff costs, but jobless claims hit a four-year high. Analysts expect a quarter- to half-point Fed rate cut next week.   Senate GOP Fast-Tracks Trump Nominees: Republicans changed rules to bypass Democrat obstruction, clearing the way for 150 stalled executive branch picks. Judicial nominees remain vulnerable to Democrat blockades.   Trump Targets Big Pharma Ads: An executive order ends the 1997 loophole allowing short TV drug ads. Pharma may face five-minute disclosures, threatening billions in ad revenue for networks like CNN and Fox.   Immigration Fallout with South Korea: Hyundai's Korean workers arrested in Georgia say they warned bosses their visas were illegal. Seoul warns investment may cool without faster visa reform, while Trump explores expedited paths for specialized labor.   Sweden's Child Hitmen and Migrant Payoffs: Gangs recruit boys as young as 12 to kill, exploiting loopholes in juvenile law. Sweden will lower prosecution age and pay $34K per migrant to return home.   Germany's Migrant Dilemma: Only 1,300 of 1 million Syrian migrants accepted $1,500 to leave. Meanwhile, 80,000 a year gain citizenship, fueling AfD's rise.   North Korea Intrigue and U.S. Ops: Kim Jong Un parades his 12-year-old daughter as heir, though his son may be hidden abroad. A failed SEAL Team 6 mission six years ago revealed how close the U.S. came to planting a spy device inside North Korea.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Is Trump a dictator, or just a wannabe? Sarah and Beth define authoritarianism and examine how decades of expanding executive power set the stage for Trump's emergency declarations, ICE army, and attacks on expertise, while exploring whether American institutions can resist the authoritarian playbook. What happens when courts push back but the Supreme Court stays silent? They analyze Trump's use of emergency powers to justify military action in the Caribbean, mass deportations without due process, and the renaming of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, discussing how legal challenges create incentives for escalation. Why are we giving our kids adult experiences earlier and earlier? Outside of Politics, Sarah and Beth dive into the phenomenon of elaborate dorm room decorating, the pressure to make kids popular, and how parents navigate the fine line between support and performance in an Instagram-driven world.

In some policy circles, the idea of the U.S. electing a CEO-style dictator running the country like a company is gaining momentum. But should the idea be embraced? Those proposing the Dictator CEO, like Curtis Yarvin, argue it would challenge existing institutions and deliver cutthroat efficiency. But democracy advocates, like E. Glen Weyl, argue that consolidating power under one leader undermines the core values fundamental to America's political system.
