In this week's Dissident's podcast, James & Chris explore some of the legal, political, and moral arguments that undercut the basis for the modern welfare-regulatory state - which sees coercive powers concentrated in a central government body that intervenes into most human affairs, often in illiberal ways that pit one interest group against another or prioritize the interests of those in power. They show why it can only ever be that way under the current paradigm, regardless of who is in charge. With a particular focus on welfare & IP regimes, they go on to discuss & debate some novel alternatives that could take the place of the current concentrated power structure while yielding safer & more productive outcomes for all citizens. Such liberal alternatives can also still solve many of the human challenges that the prevailing coercive systems seek to remedy.

From Cuba and Venezuela to Russia and beyond, these voices bring the reality of life without freedom into the classroom.We talk about why these stories matter — especially for students who may never have questioned their own liberties. Why high schoolers? Why now? And does this kind of civic education actually make a difference?Join us for a moving and timely conversation about freedom, resilience, and the importance of living for something larger than yourself.Grace Bydalek is the Director of The Dissident Project, an initiative of the nonprofit Young Voices dedicated to educating American students about the dangers of authoritarianism.

Elliott and I have been doing a series on trauma—which got me thinking about the thing I'm pretty much always thinking about—COVID.Talk about a traumatizing event!Since we all—as in, the entire world—endured the pandemic, it certainly qualifies as what psychologists call a “collective trauma.”Because we went through it together, right? Well no, we didn't. The “collective trauma” wasn't a unifying experience. Some complied with the proclamations from “experts” on high. Others resisted the authoritarianism.The COVID event fractured society and pitted us against each other. Friendships broke down. Family members viewed each other with suspicion and disdain. We should have rallied together, yet we remained—and remain—polarized. How do we heal from “collective trauma” that has so splintered and divided?I'm still trying to figure it all out.To this end, we're launching a series on COVID trauma.I'm thrilled to introduce our first COVID trauma guest, Jenna McCarthy. She's the author of Yankee Doodle Soup for the Fringy, Tin Foil Hat-Wearing Conspiracy Theorist's Soul and The War on Ivermectin:  The Medicine that Saved Millions and Could Have Ended the Pandemic with Dr. Pierre Kory. Jenna shares her COVID journey—and yes, her career tanked and friends turned against her. Oh, and that screenplay she wrote—the one Hollywood producers were so excited about? It got tossed once she publicly challenged “the official” COVID narrative.If, like me, you're not over COVID—or, even if you are—this episode is for you! Dissidents will feel heard and validated. Those who went along with the program will gain a greater understanding as to why some of your friends and loved ones didn't.Sponsor:The Wellness CompanyWebsite: ⁠https://www.twc.health/lovelife⁠Code: LOVELIFE for 15% off your order!Jenna McCarthyWebsite: https://jennamccarthy.com/Substack: https://jennasside.rocks/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennamccarthyisback/ X: https://x.com/jennawrites Jenna's Book - Yankee Doodle Soup: https://yankeedoodlesoup.com/Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Substack: https://loveandlifemedia.substack.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson

Depuis juillet 2024, les relations entre la France et l'Algérie n'ont cessé de s'envenimer : c'est la reconnaissance par Paris de la souveraineté marocaine sur le territoire disputé du Sahara occidental qui a mis le feu aux poudres ; une décision perçue comme une provocation par Alger, soutien historique du Front Polisario. La crise diplomatique s'est aggravée mi-novembre avec l'arrestation à l'aéroport d'Alger de l'écrivain franco-algérien Boualem Sansal, accusé d'atteinte à l'intégrité nationale.Ces dernières semaines, le ton est encore monté d'un cran entre les 2 pays après le refus de l'Algérie de réadmettre sur son sol un certain nombre de ses ressortissants que la France souhaitait expulser.Paris menace désormais Alger de remettre en cause l'accord bilatéral de 1968 qui régit les conditions de circulation, de séjour et d'emploi des Algériens en France. De son côté, Alger rend Paris responsable de l'escalade et promet une réciprocité stricte et immédiate à chaque refus de visas.Jusqu'où peut aller cette nouvelle crise diplomatique entre l'Algérie et la France ? Le travail mémoriel censé panser les plaies toujours à vif de la colonisation reprendra-t-il un jour ? La coopération sécuritaire est-elle menacée ?

The author will discuss why Lai became a stalwart champion of Hong Kong's freedoms. Jimmy Lai's son, Sebastien, and Mark Simon will discuss the importance of Lai's activism, the state of his current national security trial, and any prospects for Lai's own freedom. Hosted on Acast.

Earlier this week on Honestly, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Brianna Wu, and Christopher Caldwell shared their views on President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance's showdown with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, and on the Russia-Ukraine war more generally. Simply put, Batya and Chris made the case that Russia is not an American adversary in the way China is and that Trump's seeming sympathy toward Russian president Vladimir Putin is actually a strategic play to pull Russia away from China and into our orbit. The conversation is provocative. It provoked many of us here at The Free Press. Not all of our listeners agreed with what they heard either. For some, it was frustrating or even angering to hear this perspective. Yes, contrary to popular belief, we do read the comments. And there's been a tremendous amount of debate inside our newsroom about America's new posture regarding Russia and Ukraine, just as there is on all of the most important topics of the day. We think that's our strength. We believe in listening to arguments, in good faith, from people we respect. And if our panel show earlier in the week was dominated by a perspective sympathetic to Trump, today we want to offer a very different perspective from Eli Lake, Free Press reporter and the host of our new podcast, Breaking History. In this episode, Eli explores how a different Republican president—Ronald Reagan—spoke out against Russian aggression. And how his words inspired dissidents from across the Soviet bloc, like the Czech playwright Václav Havel, to lead their own countries to freedom. This is a show that looks to the past to illuminate the present, and we think this episode is especially important right now. So today, Eli Lake on Breaking History.

Grace Jo was born in North Korea, a place where she almost starved to death as a child. Two of Grace's brothers died of starvation. Grace's father was tortured and starved to death, he passed away when North Korean agents transferred him from a detention center to a jail and his “crime” was that he left his country in search of food for his family. One of Grace's older sisters went to China to find food for her family, but went missing and was probably sold into human trafficking. Grace was repatriated twice to North Korea by the Chinese government, and suffered imprisonment after she was repatriated. Grace's mother and one of Grace's sisters were repatriated four times and suffered torture after repatriation. This is Grace's harrowing story. ----------------------- "

"... they don't say whether she's still alive or where she is or what her name is. They don't tell you anything but that she was a middle-aged woman who was inspired by God and God spoke to her, so she started speaking God's word."In September 2021, a mysterious Reddit account surfaced, claiming to be the long-lost leader of a controversial religious movement. The user, /u/yang_xiangbin, posted about an abusive marriage, exile, and an unexpected role in the rise of a group known as the Church of Almighty God - aka "Eastern Lightning" - an organization the Chinese government has labeled a dangerous cult.Was this an elaborate hoax, or had one of the most elusive figures in modern religious history just reappeared online?Research, writing, hosting, and production by Micheal WhelanLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

Grace Jo was born in North Korea, a place where she almost starved to death as a child. Two of Grace's brothers died of starvation. Grace's father was tortured and starved to death, he passed away when North Korean agents transferred him from a detention center to a jail and his “crime” was that he left his country in search of food for his family. One of Grace's older sisters went to China to find food for her family, but went missing and was probably sold into human trafficking. Grace was repatriated twice to North Korea by the Chinese government, and suffered imprisonment after she was repatriated. Grace's mother and one of Grace's sisters were repatriated four times and suffered torture after repatriation. This is Grace's harrowing story. ----------------------- "

We discuss her unexpected journey into activism during the COVID so-called vaccine rollout and the immense challenges of speaking out in a society where dissent is heavily policed. Iris shares her insights on Singapore's political and cultural landscape, where materialism often blinds people to deeper societal issues, and controlled opposition within the freedom movement makes resistance even more difficult. Her story is about courage, resilience, and the battle to awaken public consciousness.

Mark Clifford: How Jimmy Lai Became Hong Kong's Greatest Dissident and China's Most Feared Critic

How did the billionaire businessman Jimmy Lai become one of Hong Kong's leading activists for democracy—and China's most famous political prisoner today? Jimmy Lai escaped mainland China when he was 12 years old, at the height of a famine that killed tens of millions. In Hong Kong, he hustled; no work was beneath him, and he often slept on a table in a clothing factory where he did odd jobs. At 21, he was running a factory. By his mid-twenties, he owned one and was supplying sweaters and shirts to some of the biggest brands in the United States, from Polo to The Limited. His ideas about retail led him to create Giordano in 1981, and with it “fast fashion.” A restless entrepreneur, as Giordano prepared to go public, he was thinking about a dining concept that would disrupt Hong Kong's fast-food industry. But then came the Tiananmen Square democracy protest and the massacre of 1989. His reaction to the violence was to enter the media business to push China toward more freedoms. He started a magazine, Next, to advocate for democracy in Hong Kong. Then, just two years before the city was to return to Chinese control, he founded the Apple Daily newspaper. Its mix of bold graphics, gossip, local news, and opposition to the Chinese Communist Party was an immediate hit. For more than two decades, Lai used Apple and Next as part of a personal push for democracy—in weekly columns, at rallies and marches, and, memorably, sitting in front of a tent during the 2014 Occupy Central movement. Lai also took his activism abroad, traveling frequently to Washington, where he was well known in Congress and in political circles. China reacted with fury in 2019 when he met with Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. A draconian new security law came into effect in Hong Kong in mid-2020, effectively making free speech a crime and censorship a fact. Lai was its most important target. Apple Daily was raided on August 10, 2020. He was arrested and held without bail before being convicted of trumped-up charges ranging from lighting a candle (“incitement to riot”) to violating a clause in his company's lease (“fraud”). At the end of 2023, a lengthy trial began alleging “collusion with foreign forces” and printing seditious materials. China's most famous political prisoner has been in jail for more than 1,100 days and could spend the rest of his life there.

Before Hungary's transition from communism to democracy, local dissidents and like-minded intellectuals, activists, and academics from the West influenced each other and inspired the fight for human rights and civil liberties in Eastern Europe. Hungarian dissidents provided Westerners with a new purpose and legitimized their public interventions in a bipolar world order.  The Making of Dissidents: Hungary's Democratic Opposition and its Western Friends, 1973-1998 (U Pittsburgh Press, 2024) demonstrates how Hungary's Western friends shaped public perceptions and institutionalized their advocacy long before the peaceful revolutions of 1989. But liberalism failed to take root in Hungary, and Victoria Harms explores how many former dissidents retreated and Westerners shifted their attention elsewhere during the 1990s, paving the way for nationalism and democratic backsliding.

Happy New Year to the Pearl Jam Podcast Community! 2025 is set to be another great year for the band on tour in April and May, and hopefully more will get announced at some point soon. To kick off the year, we are gonna finish our look back on 2024 by covering the highly talked about tour closer in Sydney. With a plethora of storylines leading up to the show, such as the 30th anniversary of Vitalogy's release, expectations were high for the final night on the 2024 Dark Matter tour, and as per usual, the band delivered something memorable. It was the type of show that you'd call a kitchen sink show incorporating songs that had barely been brought to the table last year such as Brain Of J, In Hiding, Tremor Christ, Save You, Dissident and Alone. But the big story from that night overpowers all of the clutch deep cuts because for the first time in ten years, the band decided to pull out Hunger Strike. It had been seven and a half years since Chris Cornell's death, a subject that Eddie Vedder has rarely addressed publicly. But there is more behind this performance than just playing a famed song from their past. We'll get into details of how Ed had seemed to open up a little more about his relationship with Chris, and how this moment in Sydney was seen from a therapeutic standpoint, having the crowd pitch in and help out in the roles meant for Cornell. A powerful moment, and one that will be remembered for decades onward. We'll also hear from our Aussie crew who helped out on our reaction episodes for the run down there, we'll hear a story about a boy who challenged Eddie to rock, paper, scissors, and we'll also share some news and changes about the podcast in effect for 2025.

Let's grab the Kleenex and reveal a repackaged Christmas gift of freedom. Independence and peace are yours to be claimed. Feel the faith as you both build and witness history. Let's stop being afraid and boldly reveal the truth. Ultimate freedom lies in faith. No longer a slave to fear, God breaks chains and freedom floods your soul. Possessions, vanity and the noise of life. The 40k foot view offers a different perspective. Immense beauty amid the purpose of God's design. Surrender is not a complicated thing. Feel the breath of peace within the moment. Respect you body, mind and soul. Finding who you truly are. Peace and freedom are already within us. Surrender is not from weakness, but from strength. Some news on the new book. Dissidents, Sparta and the pool of angry people within a sanctuary city. Both Sparta and the Athenians were funded by Persia. Making all roads lead to Rome. The Great Wall is there to keep people in. The Chinese genius strategy. The King James conundrum. Admission and evidence all came together in the end. It's going to be a bumpy ass ride from here. Our faith and actions will reveal the truth.
