X: @Former_Soviet @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Vladimir Jaffe, an American entrepreneur and a proponent of freedom and capitalism based on the rule of law. Vladimir Jaffe is owner of Palace Imports and a board member of Israel Justice Organization. Vladimir Jaffe is a former Soviet citizen with a master's degree in chemical engineering. In the USSR, he was active in Jewish circles, dissident movements, and international media—at significant personal risk—and was interrogated at KGB headquarters in 1985. He emigrated to the United States in 1988 at the age of 29 and is now a successful American entrepreneur. Vladimir Jaffe reveals the realities of what it was like to have lived in communism and socialism from his own experiences. Over the years, a new generation of Americans are favoring socialism with an awe of communism over capitalism. Our conversation focuses on the surge of socialism in America - an ideology and political system that has devastated economies around the world and forced people to leave their lands for free and prosperous countries like the United States. Gallup's latest survey, released September 23, 2026, found that among Americans ages 18–34, 57% have a positive view of socialism, compared with 43% who have a positive view of capitalism. Among Americans 55 and older, the pattern is reversed: 65% view capitalism positively and 34% view socialism positively. Vladimir Jaffe is the owner of U.S. based Palace Imports, that provides 100% solid wood furniture: https://www.palaceimportsinc.com The company specializes in 100 percent solid wood furniture sourced from Africa, Europe, South America, and Mexico, sold online through retailers such as Macy's, Wayfair, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond and Overstock and others. Since becoming a U.S. citizen in 1993, Vladimir has remained politically active and is deeply involved in supporting Jewish organizations and initiatives. Vladimir Jaffe is one of the newest leadership members of International Leaders Summit, the parent organization of America's Roundtable. Vladimir serves on the Executive Advisory Board. He is dedicated supporter of America's conservative movement and the vision articulated by President Donald Trump in advancing freedom and reforms based on the rule of law. Vladimir Jaffe has a YouTube site with over 75,000 subscribers. | https://www.youtube.com/@VladimirJaffe/videos americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @Former_Soviet @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Après cinq ans passés en prison à Cuba, l'artiste et dissident Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, 38 ans, a retrouvé la liberté. Il vit désormais en exil aux États-Unis. Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara a été arrêté en juillet 2021 alors qu'il tentait de rejoindre les manifestations historiques du 11 juillet. Au micro de Marine de la Moissonnière, il raconte les premiers mois de cette nouvelle vie : les difficultés physiques et psychologiques liées au fait de réapprendre à vivre en société après cinq années d'enfermement, mais aussi la sensation de devoir retrouver ses repères dans un monde libre. En prison, la peinture lui a permis de tenir et de continuer à résister. Depuis son arrivée aux États-Unis, il poursuit son engagement en faveur d'un changement politique à Cuba, dont il dénonce la situation économique et les restrictions aux libertés. Des propos qui lui valent des critiques, mais qui, dit-il, renforcent sa détermination à continuer de créer et à défendre les Cubains depuis l'exil. À lire aussiCuba: l'artiste et figure de la dissidence cubaine Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara arrive aux États-Unis pour son exil En Colombie, les groupes armés recrutent de plus en plus de mineurs C'est notamment le cas dans le département du Cauca en Colombie, l'un des territoires les plus touchés par le conflit. Pour attirer enfants et adolescents, les dissidents des Farc et d'autres groupes criminels utilisent désormais massivement les réseaux sociaux, notamment TikTok, Instagram et Facebook, avec des vidéos qui promettent argent, pouvoir et reconnaissance. Selon les chiffres du défenseur des droits colombien, 435 mineurs ont été recrutés en 2025, principalement dans le Cauca, tandis que l'ONU estime que les recrutements forcés ont augmenté de 300% en cinq ans. Dans les zones rurales et isolées, où les jeunes sont confrontés à la pauvreté et au manque d'opportunités, ces promesses peuvent être particulièrement efficaces. Paola Arissa, de la rédaction en espagnol de RFI, a recueilli le témoignage de Juan, recruté à 15 ans avant de parvenir à s'échapper, ainsi que celui d'un enseignant qui raconte comment les réseaux sociaux sont utilisés pour piéger et menacer les adolescents.

Episode #236 of the PricePlow Podcast welcomes back Kris Gethin, the Welsh-born natural bodybuilder, former Bodybuilding.com Editor-in-Chief, and co-founder of Unmatched Supps and Nova Prime Labs. It’s Kris’s first full episode with us since Episode #012 back in 2018, well before Ben joined as co-host, though longtime listeners got an update on his current chapter when Unmatched co-founder Doug Miller stopped by Episode #219 earlier this year. This wide-ranging conversation covers how Kris and Doug built Unmatched around an all-natural, no-sucralose philosophy, why the line between biohacking and being natural keeps blurring, and how Kris’s own protocol includes stem cell therapy, peptides, EMF mitigation, and regular blood donation. Kris also gives PricePlow its deepest look yet at Unmatched’s upcoming Longevity Bar, 16 months in development, plus previews of a reformulated BH2K, an ElectraShred stick-pack launch, and the new Unmatched University education platform.

Derf Backderf's latest book is The Dissidents, focusing on a group of political cartoonists in the late 1910s who did powerful political cartoons in a hair-raisingly horrible period in American history: World War I, anti-war protest made illegal, massacres of American blacks (encouraged by the president, no less), torture in American prisons and more.

Londres, 7 septembre 1978.Georgi Markov, 49 ans, attend son bus près de Waterloo Bridge lorsqu'il ressent soudain une vive piqûre à l'arrière de la cuisse.Il se retourne.Derrière lui, un homme ramasse un parapluie tombé au sol, s'excuse avec un accent étranger, puis s'éloigne rapidement et monte dans un taxi.Markov poursuit son chemin.Mais quelques heures plus tard, il est pris d'une forte fièvre. Son état se dégrade brutalement. Hospitalisé, il souffre de vomissements, puis ses organes commencent à défaillir.Quatre jours après l'étrange incident, Georgi Markov meurt.Et l'autopsie va transformer cette mort mystérieuse en l'une des plus célèbres affaires d'espionnage de la guerre froide.Les médecins découvrent dans sa cuisse une minuscule bille métallique d'environ 1,7 millimètre de diamètre. Elle est composée de platine et d'iridium et percée de minuscules cavités.Les scientifiques britanniques concluent qu'elle a servi à introduire dans son organisme de la ricine, un poison extrêmement puissant.L'arme aurait été un parapluie spécialement modifié, capable de propulser cette bille dans la peau à très courte distance.Mais pourquoi tuer Markov ?Parce qu'il est devenu l'un des ennemis les plus gênants du régime communiste bulgare.Écrivain célèbre dans son pays, il a quitté la Bulgarie en 1969 et s'est installé à Londres. Il travaille notamment pour la BBC et Radio Free Europe, où ses émissions dénoncent avec virulence le régime du dirigeant Todor Jivkov.Fait troublant : l'attentat a justement lieu le 7 septembre, jour de l'anniversaire de Jivkov.L'enquête se tourne rapidement vers les services secrets bulgares.Des années plus tard, d'anciens responsables du KGB, notamment Oleg Kalugin, affirmeront que les Bulgares avaient demandé l'aide de Moscou et que le KGB avait fourni la technologie, le poison et son expertise.Un homme, l'agent Francesco Gullino, sera considéré comme un suspect majeur. Des documents montrent qu'il se trouvait à Londres à l'époque et travaillait pour les renseignements bulgares. Mais les preuves permettant de l'accuser formellement n'ont jamais été réunies.Personne n'a donc jamais été condamné pour le meurtre de Georgi Markov.Et cette affaire est restée dans l'histoire sous un nom presque trop parfait pour être réel : « le meurtre au parapluie bulgare ».Une arme banale, une piqûre presque imperceptible… et l'un des assassinats les plus spectaculaires de toute la guerre froide.

Chelsea Kim Long grew up inside a world that had an answer for everything — until her body didn't cooperate with the script. A traumatic birth, postpartum depression, infertility, and eventually an impossible decision during a quadruplet pregnancy each cracked open a theology that had no room for what she was actually experiencing. In her new book Faithfully Dissident Daughters: Reclaiming Christian Womanhood Beyond Patriarchy, and in this conversation, she traces how patriarchy in the church has limited our understandings, and points towards a more expansive approach to faith and community.Connect with Chelsea's work here: https://www.chelseakimlong.com/Want to reach out and let us know your thoughts or suggestions for the show?

We are excited to have as our return guest graphic novelist Derf Backderf, whose new book THE DISSIDENTS is receiving rave reviews internationally. The book is a deep dive into a lost history of censorship, intimidation, and outright violence directed towards anyone criticizing the U.S. government during the World War 1 era.  The art is superb, the narrative compelling - and the ramifications all too relevant today. Derf's previous books include MY FRIEND DAHMER, TRASHED, and KENT STATE. With THE DISSIDENTS, he may have created his masterpiece.

Last week in Hong Kong, long time democracy advocates - including Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung - were found guilty of inciting subversion. Along with hundreds of others who were part of the 2019 protests against the Extradition Bill, they have been in jail for many years, imprisoned under the Chinese National Security Law.Samuel leads a discussion to try and digest what their sentencing means to him, as someone that has not only been inspired by both of these leaders, but has had a long close relationship with Lee Cheuk-yan since he was a child.In the conversation w explore what their experience might teach us about the qualities that shape why we try to make a difference.We look at a new book - On Courage by Julia Angwin and Ami Fields-Meyer - and debate its claim that to make a difference requires personal acts of courage and bravery.In reflecting on Lee and Chow's experience we countenance a different way to look at the qualities we might need to make a difference. We explore whether courage is perhaps best seen as something gathered with others rather than simply a personal quality. Rather than the idea that we need more courage - perhaps we need stronger and better organisations that can help nurture our sense of power and courage together.The article in the Guardian about Chow Hang-tung is here.====For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changemakerspodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@changemakerspodcastBlue Sky: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersall.bsky.socialFor more about Samuel:Personal site: https://www.samuelmchu.comThe Campaign for Hong Kong: https://www.thecampaignforhongkong.orgDemocracy in Flight: https://www.democracyinflight.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuelmchuTwitter/X: https://x.com/samuelmchuFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/samuelmchuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/samuelmchuFor more about Amanda:Personal site: https://amandatattersall.com/ On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandatattersall/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.tattersallBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amandatattersall.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersallHer new books are called People Power in Cities & Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference.

Many people sense that something is profoundly wrong with the world they are living in. They feel it before they have words for it: that every system around them, medical, political, financial, the media itself, was built to keep them distracted while the cage went up. They watch the news and feel powerless. They seek help and leave feeling worse. They follow the rules and find that the rules were written by people who never intended to follow them.The powerful are counting on us to stay asleep, divided, afraid, and disconnected from our divine nature. We are your alarm clock, and it's time to wake up.Radically Genuine is becoming the voice of the awakening, speaking to you and for you, if you have remembered who you are. You are a soul, divinely created and deliberately placed, here on purpose and here on time. You chose this life, this body, and this moment knowing exactly what you were walking into. Which means you are not here by accident, and you are not here to comply.Wisdom has been hidden from us. Advancements in healthcare have been suppressed on purpose, because health does not sell the way sickness does. We have been under attack, and none of it was an accident. We are walking toward Agenda 2030 on schedule, and the control mechanisms are not coming. They are already here, already built, already running, and most people have not noticed because they were installed as conveniences.But the real target was never your body. It was your mind. Consciousness is the last frontier in a war for human sovereignty, and it is the one they cannot take unless you hand it over. This is why we bring you consciousness research and post material science, the work showing that awareness is not manufactured by the brain and that a human being is far more than the machine we were told we are. We are unapologetically pro human. We bring you the dissidents, the innovators, the censored scientists, the artists, and those with spiritual gifts, the people building the alternatives and holding the line while the rest of the world looks away.After five years, the show is evolving. This is the first recording from the new studio.

Today's episode is a special recording from a live CDT book talk featuring a conversation about On Courage: How to Be a Dissident in an Age of Fear. In a moment, you'll hear CDT's Miranda Bogen in conversation with the book's authors, Julia Angwin and Ami Fields-Meyer. Together, they explore what courage looks like in an era of growing surveillance, political polarization, and institutional pressure. Drawing from the stories in On Courage, the discussion examines how individuals can challenge powerful systems, make principled decisions under difficult circumstances, and build cultures that support dissent when it matters most. Whether you're working in technology, public policy, journalism, or simply thinking about how to navigate an increasingly complex world, this conversation offers valuable insights into the personal and collective choices that shape accountability and democratic resilience. We hope you enjoy this special live edition of Tech Talks.

As President Donald Trump intensifies his campaign of retribution against his political opponents and unleashes masked federal agents on immigrant communities, many American citizens are asking: What can I do?For answers, we can look to dissidents who have stood up to authoritarianism.“Authoritarianism is about stealing your rights and stealing your money,” said Ami Fields-Meyer, co-author with journalist Julia Angwin of “On Courage: How to Be a Dissident in an Age of Fear.”The authors spoke with over 100 dissidents in their research. These include a 73-year-old abortion escort in Virginia, young activists in Egypt who have challenged a dictator, students in Hong Kong defending democracy, and a civil rights lawyer who lost his job in the Trump administration while fighting for fair housing. Together, they offer a modern roadmap for resisting authoritarianism.Authoritarians start by targeting vulnerable groups, then extending to political opponents and the broader population. They say, “It's not me who's taking your money or your rights. This is happening because of somebody else. It's happening because of the trans people. It's happening because of the undocumented people,” Fields-Meyer told me.“The response has to be to expand the circle of who we are committed to.”Fields-Meyer has been a senior policy adviser to then-Vice President Kamala Harris, a senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation and a strategist to national civil rights organizations and political candidates. His articles on democracy and public policy have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times and other outlets.The authors share lessons from global dissidents. Fields-Meyer described how dissidents “repurposed their communities into extraordinarily powerful political forces. The dissident movement that helped bring down communism in Czechoslovakia was a group of theater actors (who) repurposed their theaters into organizing hubs. They stopped printing playbills on their printers and started printing protest leaflets. This is something that we see all over the world.”This includes Fields-Meyer's home community of Brooklyn, where mutual aid groups formed during the Covid-19 pandemic are now using the same texting groups “to protect people from the federal agents who are waiting outside their doors.”Fields-Meyer said that strengthening community helps counter the ways that autocrats seek to divide people. “Authoritarianism is all about saying, ‘Don't believe your lying eyes. You thought that you saw Renee Good shot in the street? No, you didn't. You thought that you saw Alex Pretti shot in the street? No, you didn't,'” said Fields-Meyer.“What we learned from Soviet dissidents is that when lies abound, you can work with other people and be with other people and be emboldened to say, ‘I do see what I see.'”“We need to be able to hold hope and hopelessness at the same time,” said Fields-Meyer. “If we do, history tells us that we're going to win.”

When Chinese policeman Dong Guangping wrote an article commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 1989 military crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing, it kicked off a chain of events that led to him serving jail time and losing his job. But it also sparked the beginning of a deep desire to live more freely. So Dong began planning how he might escape China. Just a few weeks ago, back in late May, he finally achieved his dream, having taken the huge risk of crossing China's Yellow Sea in a dinghy to reach South Korean waters. Phoebe Kong, based in the BBC's Hong Kong bureau, explained how rare Dong's achievement really is. Yemen has faced decades of economic hardship and war, but the khat industry is thriving. Khat is a plant, and when chewed it acts as a stimulant. It is estimated to consume one-third of Yemen's groundwater and occupy much of the country's agricultural land. Dalia Haidar of BBC Arabic has been looking into Yemen's relationship to khat and the problem it can cause.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services.

Alan Philps tells of Nadia, a translator at the Metropol Hotel who became a "secret dissident" after losing faith in Stalinism during the purges. She trusted Australian journalist Godfrey Blunden, believing him to be more reliable than "snobbish" British or career-driven American reporters. She shared her true, dangerous views with him and even took him to visit private Soviet homes, which was strictly forbidden. However, Blunden betrayed her by publishing a novel that thinly disguised her identity and the locations she had shown him. This led to Nadia's arrest in 1948 and an eight-year sentence in the Gulag, where she faced starvation. Her husband and daughter were also broken by the system. Nadia eventually survived, moving to Israel in the 1970s. Philps notes that her grandson is now a professor in Jerusalem, offering a rare "happy ending" amidst the broader tragedy of Soviet brutality. (3)1906
