Assessing al-Sharaa's Visit and the Risks of the Gaza Board of Peace Proposal. Edmund Fitton-Brown discusses how the proposed Gaza "Board of Peace" is part of the Trump plan to create active international engagement and prevent a return to Hamas control. The international stabilization force must have "real teeth" to fight subversive elements, unlike the failed UNIFIL mission. Regarding al-Sharaa, the self-named Syrian president and ex-al-Qaeda veteran, the White House visit gives him a chance to stabilize Syria. However, he must be pressured to investigate massacres of Druze and Alawites and hold people accountable (trust but verify). 1925 Syria

PREVIEW. Hezbollah Rises Again: Unfinished Business and Ceasefire Breaches in Lebanon. Edmund Fitton-Brown described Hezbollah as a "punched out fighter on the mat getting up slowly," rearming to a new scale of threat. There is definitely "unfinished business in Lebanon."

EPISODE 620 - Jill MacLean - Canadian Author of a Poetry Collection, Non-fiction Historical biography, Young Reader and Young Adult NovelsJill MacLean is the Canadian author of a poetry collection, a non-fiction historical biography, three novels for young readers, two young adult novels, and The Arrows of Mercy, historical fiction for adults set in medieval England, released in 2023. The Arrows of Fealty, a stand alone sequel to The Arrows of Mercy, will release in September 2024.Jill MacLean's somewhat truncated biography:Although I was born in England in Berkshire (the county where my medieval novel, The Arrows of Mercy, is set), I left there many years ago, and happily took out Canadian citizenship in 1970.I began writing poetry in the nineties, along with completing a Masters degree in theology, and my poetry collection was published in Manitoba in 2003. My young grandson then asked me to write him a book – and changed the direction of my life. Three middle-grade novels and two Young Adult novels followed in fairly quick succession (you can check them out under Publications).All five novels were contemporary, four were set in Newfoundland (where my family lived for seventeen years), and four overtly dealt with bullying.Was I in danger of falling into a literary rut?If so, what to write next?The hiatus was frightening; but gradually there surfaced my abiding fascination with the medieval period, and even more gradually characters began to emerge, chief among them Edmund – I know from the beginning he would be an archer. I also knew I wanted to write about war and its aftereffects, as well as plague (this was well before Covid) – and that I did not want to write about aristocrats. Edmund and his cohorts are peasants, serfs, villeins, the lowest of the low.I read widely about rural life in mid-14th century England, my son drove me around the back lanes of Berkshire in search of the exact setting, and I started to write in 2015. The novel was initially intended for a young adult audience, but morphed into fiction for adults – I wanted no constrictions.Because I was in love with the research, and assumed you would be too, I wrote a sprawling, unmanageable mess of a novel, and then spent years (literally) cutting it back until it was the length it needed to be.The Arrows of Mercy was launched.Although set in 1348, the novel's themes of plague, PTSD and scorched-earth warfare (think Syria and Ukraine) are all-too relevant to today's world.https://jillmaclean.mywriting.network/about-me/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
In this episode of The Redacted Report, we reopen the case of Edmund Kemper, the so-called “Co-Ed Killer,” to expose the details that were buried in thousands of pages of police files, psychiatric evaluations, and trial transcripts.This isn't the version told in documentaries or dramatizations. This is the story of how a system failed, how warning signs were missed, and how one of California's most intelligent predators learned to play both sides of the law .Ed Kemper wasn't just hiding in plain sight — he was sitting at the bar with the very officers searching for him. Inside The Jury Room in Santa Cruz, he befriended Detective Johnson, Officer Martinez, and Sergeant Williams, absorbing investigative methods, forensic procedures, and common police mistakes over casual drinks. What they didn't realize was that their “gentle giant” drinking buddy was gathering operational intelligence. Kemper collected handcuffs, police radios, and scanner frequencies, giving him real-time access to law enforcement movements — knowledge that helped him stay one step ahead for nearly a year while bodies continued to surface. Behind the charm and calm demeanor was a man who had already fooled the system once. At just 21, Kemper had been released from Atascadero State Hospital, declared no threat to society despite having murdered his grandparents as a teenager. Working in the hospital's psychology lab, he studied mental health diagnostics, learned how to manipulate tests, and even handled real psychological profiles — including those of violent offenders. He used that knowledge to beat the system, understand his captors, and later, to outthink investigators.We trace the moments where fate nearly intervened — the traffic stops, the roadblocks, the missed connections between agencies that could have saved lives.Officers questioned him, waved him through, even trusted him, all because he seemed “too polite” to be dangerous. Through firsthand reports and redacted files, we expose how institutional blind spots and bureaucratic silos allowed a killer to thrive in plain view. From the quiet house on Ord Drive, where he dismembered victims while his mother was at work, to his Alameda apartment, where neighbors lived just feet away from unimaginable horror, we explore the forensic trail left behind — the vehicle evidence, the recovered photographs, and the chilling confession tapes where Ed bragged, analyzed, and justified every act in painstaking detail.His hours-long conversations with FBI profilers Robert Ressler and John Douglas later became the foundation of modern criminal profiling, shaping how future generations would define the term “organized serial killer.”But beneath all the psychology and procedure lies the story of his mother, Clarnell Kemper — the woman he blamed, feared, and eventually murdered. Working as an administrator at UC Santa Cruz, she may have unknowingly processed paperwork for students her son would later kill.The tragedy of their relationship — and the evidence found in her home — reveal the disturbing cycle of resentment and rage that fueled his crimes.This episode goes beyond the headlines to confront the decisions that allowed a double murderer to be paroled into his mother's home, the psychiatric assessments that missed every danger sign, the sealed records that kept police in the dark, and the agencies that failed to communicate. It's not a story about glorifying monsters — it's about learning from the systems that created them. Because monsters don't always look like monsters.They smile, they shake your hand, and they convince the world they're harmless — until it's too late.We close by honoring the ten victims whose lives mattered far more than the man who took them: Maude and Edmund Kemper Sr., Mary Ann Pesce, Anita Luchessa, Aiko Koo, Cindy Schall, Rosalind Thorpe, Alice Liu, Clarnell Strandberg, and Sally Hallett. Their stories remind us that behind every case file and redacted page are real lives, real loss, and the lessons society cannot afford to ignore.

In this episode, we dive into Part 2 of the Love Is Blind Season 9 recap and let me tell you, it's a juicy one. This isn't just reality TV talk. It's about self-awareness, emotional regulation, and real relationship growth. We're unpacking what Love Is Blind teaches us about attachment styles, boundaries, and what truly creates lasting love.Inside the episode:
UNIFIL's Failure, Hezbollah's Rebuilding, and Syria's Fragmented Future. Edmund Fitton-Brown, Ahmad Sharawi, and Bill Roggio label the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) a "spectacular failure" that allowed Hezbollah's military buildup near the Israeli border. Despite the ceasefire terms requiring demilitarization south of the Litani River, the Lebanese government is stalling. Hezbollah is actively rebuilding its infrastructure, forcing Israel to conduct targeted enforcement actions. They also discuss Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who is seeking international legitimacy, sanctions relief, and partners to counter ISIS, even as his state remains domestically fragmented by regional demands for separation or autonomy. 66

In today's episode, we're talking about chapters 3-5 of Mansfield Park. Mr. Norris is dead! Will Fanny move in with Mrs. Norris? Sir Thomas goes to Antigua! Will he come back? Fanny's horse dies! Will she ever ride again? We meet SEVERAL new characters. Will our girls marry them?Topics discussed include the way incomes from livings work (correct us if we're wrong!), rice pudding lasagna, Molly's continued cousing-shipping, Sir Thomas's West Indies estate and the slavery funding the wealth in England during this era, abolitionist judge Lord Mansfield, our first proposal, whether the Crawfords are people of color, people getting duped into the bad marriage, and the ins and outs of outs.Patron Study Questions this week come from Ghenet, Avi, and Linnea. Topics discussed include Anne's autonomy in the family, the specter of slavery hanging over Mansfield Park, and why Mrs. Norris wanted to adopt Fanny in the first place.Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include Edmund and Fanny's dynamic, the Crawfords' role in the story this far, getting Mary Crawford's POV, the similarities between Fanny and Mary, and what Henry teaches us about Maria and Julia.Funniest Quote:“The earliest intelligence of the travellers safe arrival in Antigua after a favorable voyage, was received; though now before Mrs. Norris had been indulging in very dreadful fears, and trying to make Edmund participate in them whenever she could get him alone; and as she depended on being the first person made acquainted with any fatal catastrophe, she had already arranged the manner of breaking it to all the others, when Sir Thomas's assurances of their both being alive and well, made it necessary to lay by her agitation and affectionate preparatory speeches for a while.”Questions moving forward: Will Henry be an interest for Fanny? Is Sir Thomas shipwrecked? Will Big T and Mary Crawford fall in love?Who wins the chapters? Henry CrawfordGlossary of Terms and Phrases:apoplectic (adj): overcome with anger; extremely indignant.esprit de corps (n): a feeling of pride, fellowship, and common loyalty shared by the members of a particular group.evincing (v): reveal the presence ofinvective (n): insulting, abusive, or highly critical language.pecuniary (adj): relating to or consisting of money.plied (v): provide someone with (food or drink) in a continuous or insistent way.preferment (n): promotion or appointment to a position or office.Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Kahlil Greene, Lord Mansfield, Anxiety (Doechii), Miss Austen, Alfie Enoch, Regé-Jean Page, LaKeith Stanfield, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Hunger GamesNext Episode: Mansfield Park Chapters 6-7Our show art was created by Torrence Browne, and our audio is produced by Graham Cook.

"The number changes, but as of the writing of this description, only 1883 songs have topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart including all its earlier versions. This week back in 1990, the first rap song topped the chart. That got me wondering how many other firsts and other interesting facts surround the top spot. Here is a list."
Den danske vikingen Knut den store regerade över tre kungariken – England, Danmark och Norge – och skapade ett maritimt imperium utan motstycke i sin samtid. Det så kallade Nordsjöväldet byggde på en stark personlig makt snarare än gemensamma institutioner, och blev vikingatidens politiska kulmen.Personalunionen mellan de tre rikena varade bara några decennier, men dess historiska avtryck blev djupgående. Skepp, silver och strategi styrde över hav och folk när Knut den store förvandlade Nordsjön till en motorväg för makt och inflytande.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Bo Eriksson och författaren och arkeologen Kristina Ekero Eriksson, som är aktuella med boken Nordsjöimperiet – Vikingarnas välde (Albert Bonniers förlag).Hösten 1015 landsteg Knut med en av de största invasionsflottorna världen dittills skådat. Med omkring 140 skepp och tusentals krigare lämnade han Danmarks kuster för återerövra England efter hans fars död efter en kort tid på engelska tronen. Expeditionen var ett storverk i sig – ett tydligt tecken på det danska kungadömets organisatoriska styrka.Redan året därpå, 1016, besegrade Knut kung Edmund Järnsida vid slaget vid Assandun. Den 30 november kröntes han till kung av England – starten på ett imperium som kom att sträcka sig över större delen av norra Europa.Efter brodern Haralds död blev Knut även kung av Danmark 1018. Genom ett fälttåg år 1028 lade han dessutom Norge under sig. Därmed regerade han över tre kungariken och hade samtidigt inflytande över tributpliktiga områden på Irland, norska bosättningar kring Irlands hav och delar av västkusten, Skåne och Blekinge i nuvarande Sverige.Men Nordsjöväldet var inte en enhetlig stat. Det handlade snarare om en personalunion – ett rike som vilade på Knuts personliga auktoritet. Knut såg sig inte bara som en vikingakung, utan som en kristen härskare i Europas mitt. År 1027 reste han till Rom på pilgrimsfärd för att möta påven och den tysk-romerske kejsaren. Genom sitt äktenskap med Emma av Normandie förstärkte han sin legitimitet ytterligare, både i England och på kontinenten.När Knut dog den 12 november 1035 föll imperiet snabbt sönder.

Sein Name ist C. S. Lewis. Er lebte von 1898 bis 1963 in Großbritannien und war Professor für englische Literatur an den renommierten Universitäten Oxford und Cambridge.Lewis war ein sehr scharfsinniger Mensch, der alles mit einem klaren Verstand zu erfassen versuchte. Er beschäftigte sich viel mit Philosophie und Literatur. Anfänglich stand er Menschen, die an Gott glaubten, sehr skeptisch gegenüber. Allerdings traf er in Oxford auch Menschen, die ebenso belesen und scharfsinnig waren wie er und doch ganz überzeugt an einen lebendigen Gott und die Aussagen der Bibel glaubten. Lewis bemühte sich redlich, nach den ethischen Maßstäben, die er durch seine philosophischen Überlegungen als richtig und vernünftig erkannt hatte, zu leben. Dabei stellte er allerdings enttäuscht fest, dass es ihm nicht gelang. Er erkannte sein Versagen seinen eigenen Idealen gegenüber und damit aber auch seine Schuld vor dem absoluten Gott. Er kapitulierte vor Gott und übergab ihm sein Leben. Später schrieb er einmal: »In der Ewigkeit gibt es nur zwei Arten von Menschen: die, die zu Gott sagen: ›Dein Wille geschehe.‹ Und die, zu denen Gott sagt: ›Dein Wille geschehe.‹ Alle, die in der Hölle sind, haben sich letztlich auch dafür entschieden.«In seinen Narnia-Romanen verarbeitet Lewis den Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse. Der Löwe Aslan trägt viele Züge von Jesus Christus, bis dahin, dass er bereit ist, für den rebellischen Edmund zu sterben, und dann auch wiederaufersteht. Genau das ist die biblische Botschaft, dass Jesus selbst für unsere Schuld und unser Versagen gestorben ist. Er hat die Strafe Gottes getragen und ist wiederauferstanden und bietet uns nun ein Leben in der Beziehung zu ihm an.Bernhard VolkmannDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.deAudioaufnahmen: Radio Segenswelle

Vi har tagit oss till slutet av denna, vid det här laget, djupt oseriösa serie. I det tolfte extra långa avsnittet av vår Love is Blind-bevakning pratar vi Alis ytliga vänner och falska morsa, ”cold-hearted fucking bitch”-kommentaren från Antons vänner, Edmunds sorgliga familjesituation och fantastiska femte-klass-lärare, präster med hatt och Megans oklara uppbrott med Jordan.

We're diving into Mansfield Park in this first episode of season five of Pod and Prejudice. In today's chapters, we're taking it back to the generation before our heroine. We meet the Ward sisters who all marry into different social strata and learn how Fanny Price came to Mansfield Park. Topics discussed include the something borrowed, something blue tradition, Mrs. Norris as a charity case, cousins marrying, Sir Wobbles the Pug, the bashing down of Fanny Price, naming girls after their mothers, and wealth as access.Patron Study Questions this week come from Kaitlyn, Linnea, Avi, Ghenet, Melissa, Katie, and Liz. Topics discussed include our first poor MC, the three Ward sisters and their marriages, our impressions of the Bertrams, our predictions for the futures of the kids, Mrs. Norris's influence over Sir Thomas, and why the writing of MP may be so different from the other books we've read.Becca's Study Questions:Topics discussed include Austen's Dickensian turn, why the Bertrams keep Fanny separate, whether Fanny is better off at Mansfield, and why Edmund is so special.Funniest Quote(s):“But there are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.”“Lady Bertram, who was a woman of very tranquil feelings and a temper remarkably easy and indolent, would have contented herself with merely giving up her sister, and thinking no more of the matter: but Mrs. Norris had a spirit of activity, which could not be satisfied till she had written a long and angry letter to Fanny”“I should wish to see them very good friends, and would on no account authorize in my girls the smallest degree of arrogance towards their relation; but still they cannot be equals.”“It is not very wonderful that with all their promising talents and early information, they should be entirely deficient in the less common acquirements of self-knowledge, generosity, and humility.”Questions Moving Forward: Will the cousins marry?Who wins the chapters? Edmund BertramGlossary of Terms and Phrases:Disoblige (v): offend (someone) by not acting in accordance with their wishes.Deportment (n): a person's behavior or manners.Emulation (n): effort to match or surpass a person or achievement, typically by imitation.Frank (v): to mark (a piece of mail) with an official signature or sign indicating the right of the sender to free mailing.Indolence (n): avoidance of activity or exertion; laziness.Injudicious (adj): showing very poor judgment; unwise.Prognostication (n): the action of foretelling or prophesying future events.Solicitude (n): care or concern for someone or something.Tractable (adj): easy to control or influence.Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Yours, Mine, and Ours, Jane Eyre, A Cinderella Story, Gilmore Girls, The Last of Us, Mean GirlsToday's episode is brought to you by You Pod It, Dude!

Historian and bookseller Edmund Goldrick on the hair-raising, forgotten tale of the escaped Australian prisoners of war who stumbled into another, hidden genocide, and tried to stop it.Early in the World War Two, Australian soldiers who had been captured by the Germans escaped by leaping from a moving train.They found themselves in unfamiliar territory, in the lands of Yugoslavia.The Australians on the run found themselves in the company of dangerous men, who planned to use the cover of war to commit genocide.One of the Australians fell in with a Serbian Royalist group, and when he discovered their leader's plans, he acted as a double agent in their ranks, determined to find a way to warn the Allies that their man in Serbia was determined to conduct mass murder.Anzac Guerillas is published by Hachette.Edmund will be giving a talk on Remembrance Day at the Goulburn Library, and again on Saturday, 6 December at Sydney's Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

"Cryptozoology is the study of a creature that probably doesn ot exist. Think Bigfoot. What is great about it is that every state seems to have its own monster. Maybe people really do think it exists or maybe it was invented to scare children at Halloween. We built up a list along with songs about candy. It is Halloween 2025."
What's up Bros? This show is nuts. These three episodes we see a return to Denver and how these couples integrate into real life. There are so many red flags its getting hard to count. Megan and Jordan seem like they may have a shot. Edmund is turning into an actual child in front of our eyes as KB attempts to deal with that. Nick and Annie are perfect for each other... Donno if thats a good thing. Joe and Madison appear to be getting more and more toxic for one another. Patrick gets a second chance with Anna. There is so much content to discuss that we cant even write half of it here. Tune in to find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
PaceCase and BachelorClues break down the utter chaos of Love Is Blind Season 9, Episodes 7–9 — a stretch so wild it may go down as one of the franchise's worst seasons ever. From Joe's maniac behavior and Megan Sparkle's $2.5 million dream house to Anton's strip club past and Edmund literally living in a cabinet, the hosts dissect every villain edit, error, and rare moment of competent play. They analyze the producers' strange choices — including the now-infamous empty mechanical bull bar — and the return of the Dark Lords Lachey, complete with Neo cosplay. It's a hilarious, scathing, and deeply GOR-style autopsy of a season that has completely lost the premise of finding love.__Join the Pit on Patreon for more exclusive content and shows! : / gameofroses__Want coaching tips? email gameofrozes@gmail.com__Follow us on TikTok: @gameofrosesFollow us on Instagram-Game of Roses: @gameofrosespodPacecase: @pacecaseBachelor Clues: @bachelorclues Hosted on Acast.

Episode Summary from Listener Laura: Annie, are we ok??? I fear, dear listeners, that this is the season that will break our beloved hosts. Nick is a, and I quote, "cosplaying alien," possibly of a lavender variety (not a quote, but strongly implied). Annie wet her carpet. And then immediately shut up about it and didn't make it weird AT ALL. Edmund is a fashion icon and very very fast!....for a 6-year-old. Dayo needs to go home (who is that guy?). Blake and Anna actually DO go home, and before Patrick can propose. But worry not! He and Kacie have a TON in common, like, so many things he just can't think of right now. Perhaps the only universal truth of this season: Kalaybriah is a queen.
In this lecture, we explore the opening chapter of Paul's letter to the Colossians, focusing on verses 1 through 14. The discussion begins with an acknowledgment of the communal prayers for the Colossian church, emphasizing the Apostle Paul's heartfelt connection to the believers despite never having visited them. The letter illustrates the transformative power of the Gospel, affirming their faith in Jesus Christ and their love for one another, which flourished from a hopeful understanding of God's promised inheritance.The speaker delves into the insecurities faced by the Colossians, a small church likely composed of Gentile believers grappling with their status in relation to the prominent Jewish roots of the early Church. The historical context reveals that Colossae was once a prosperous city now overshadowed by neighboring regions, leading to feelings of inadequacy and inferiority among its inhabitants. The lecture draws parallels to modern experiences of insecurity, relating how the allure of social comparisons, particularly through social media, can exacerbate feelings of unworthiness.Further, the speaker elaborates on Paul's response to these insecurities, which is aimed not at bolstering their self-esteem through affirmations of their abilities, but rather grounding their identity in Christ. Paul prays for them to receive strength and endurance through divine empowerment, presenting prayer as a vehicle for fostering spiritual resilience. The discussion shifts to emphasize the dual aspects of endurance and patience, framing them as essential attributes in overcoming challenges from both circumstances and people.The speaker highlights the concept of inheritance mentioned by Paul, which transcends economic and societal systems. This notion serves to uplift the Colossian believers, reassuring them that true security does not lie within worldly status or wealth but in their relationship with Christ. The exploration extends to unpacking the biblical legacy of inheritance, particularly how the priestly tribe of Levi was promised God as their portion instead of land, illustrating a deeper spiritual reality available to all believers.As the lecture progresses, Paul's reaffirmation of their deliverance from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of Christ brings to light the transformative nature of salvation. The analogy of Edmund from "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is employed to illustrate how individuals can be ensnared by darker powers, yet are ultimately set free through the sacrificial love of Christ. This emphasizes that despite feeling inadequate or haunted by past failures, believers hold a secure position in God's family.The speaker then calls attention to the communal aspect of prayer, encouraging the audience to recognize that others are interceding for them, thereby nurturing a sense of belonging and support within the body of Christ. A practical approach to developing a prayer life is suggested, inviting participants to commit to praying for others, thus creating a ripple effect of spiritual encouragement.In concluding, the lecture reinforces the message of hope and affirmation delivered by Paul, urging the audience to rely on their identity in Christ rather than their abilities or circumstances. The overall theme presents a profound sense of belonging, purpose, and assurance rooted in the Gospel, encouraging believers to embrace their inheritance in Jesus, secure from worldly insecurities. This invitation to communion serves as a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made for their freedom and restoration, encouraging a deeper connection to their faith and to one another as they move forward in their spiritual journeys.

Edmund co-founded Nightjar, a speakeasy cocktail bar with live music, in London with his life and business partner, Roisin Stimpson, in 2010, with its first head bartender being Marian Beke. Nightjar quickly stormed the lists of nominations, Best Bars, and more, and a lot of that success was due to Marian's incredible cocktail presentations, in bespoke vessels, using skill and flavour combinations that upped London's game significantly, and have since been copied widely. Hand-in-hand with that was Edmund and Rosie's laserlike focus on music, vibes and guest experience. Nightjar expanded to a second venue, then a third; they opened a larger version, named Oriole, then partnered with lauded operators Bobby Hiddleston and Mia Johansson to open Swift, an all-day, two-level bar concept that now has three branches in London. Me and Edmund sat down in a quiet moment during Bar Convent Berlin to catch up; I really enjoyed this, and I hope you do, too.

After the last three weeks with Dante, we jump to another three-week series with Shakespeare and NINE plays!Shakespeare can be daunting, so I offer a few thoughts on how to approach him: Watch a movie FIRSTGet a good edition (hello, Folger Shakespeare Library)Keep a one-line-per-scene summary as you readEnjoy!! It will get easier and the plays are so very worthwhile.Hamlet dazzles with layered characters and razor-sharp language. Prince Hamlet wrestles with grief, revenge, and perhaps madness, while Claudius broods over the cost of his own sin. My own final note: “Everyone dies except Horatio.”Macbeth feels darker and almost Greek. The witches act as oracles, but Macbeth isn't their puppet—he chooses evil. Lady Macbeth is more accelerant than mastermind, and the play pulses with ominous energy.King Lear hit me hardest. Lear is not villainous, just weary and reckless, longing to lay down his burdens—yet no one gets that choice. Dividing his kingdom invites betrayal from his elder daughters and the scheming Edmund, while steadfast Cordelia stands tragically apart. The repeated “nothing” captures the emptiness of abdicated duty.Together they reveal Shakespeare's trademarks: sudden madness, clever disguises, and language that still crackles, showing three kinds of downfall—the victim (Hamlet), the villain (Macbeth), and the feckless ruler (Lear).LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)My Hamlet Movie ChoiceMy MacBeth Movie ChoiceMy King Lear Movie Choice (Not actually that good but I still think about it)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

On the 24th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Cliff May sits down with Amb. Edmund Fitton-Brown, former British ambassador to Yemen and UN terrorism monitor, now a senior fellow at FDD, to assess what we've learned — and failed to learn — about global jihad.From Hamas leaders living lavishly in Qatar, the Houthis' missile attacks, al Qaeda's quiet alliance with Tehran's rulers, and the West's waning influence in Africa to the Taliban's return to Kabul and the UN's support for Hamas, Cliff and Edmund warn that the Long War Against the West is far from a conclusion.
