After twenty-six years of unprecedented revolutionary upheavals and endless fighting, the victorious powers craved stability after Napoleon's defeat in 1815. With the threat of war and revolutionary terror still looming large, the coalition launched an unprecedented experiment to re-establish European security. With over one million troops remaining in France, they established the Allied Council to mitigate the threat of war and terror and to design and consolidate a system of deterrence. The Council transformed the norm of interstate relations into the first, modern system of collective security in Europe. Drawing on the records of the Council and the correspondence of key figures such as Metternich, Castlereagh, Wellington and Alexander I, Beatrice de Graaf tells the story of Europe's transition from concluding a war to consolidating a new order.  In her new book Fighting Terror after Napoleon: How Europe Became Secure after 1815 (Cambridge UP, 2020), she reveals how, long before commercial interest and economic considerations on scale and productivity dictated and inspired the project of European integration, the common denominator behind this first impulse for a unification of Europe in norms and institutions was the collective fight against terror.

The Knights Templar are a mysterious order of warrior monks born of the Crusades. Within a century, the Knights were the main organizing force in European Civilization, employing a majority of citizens through various endeavors such as farms, textiles, banking and their greatest achievement, the guilds of artisans who created the Gothic Cathedrals we still enjoy to this day. Their influence and patronage of the arts is legendary, but few know that Templars were responsible for bringing many of Europes most beloved Black Madonnas from the Holy Land and Northern Africa to the continent, placing them in cathedrals, shrines and churches along The Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Author and host Stephanie Georgieff presents a fascinating overview of the broader culture of Europe that created the Templars, along with their ideals and spiritual impulses which led them to bring Black Madonnas to the Camino. Georgieff covers material from her book The Black Madonna, Mysterious Soul Companion as well as some new research she has uncovered through her current speaking and writing schedule. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stephanie-georgieff/support

In the summer of 1941, as Italy warred its way to a series of territorial annexations in east Africa and the Mediterranean, a little-known anti-fascist activist by the name of Altiero Spinelli languished in prison, his restless mind fantasizing about Europe's postbellum future. Named the Ventotene Manifesto after the island where Spinelli was jailed, the resulting document would become the blueprint of the European Federalist Movement (EFM) founded two years later, a call for the nations of the Old Continent to forfeit their sovereignty and give way to a European federation under socialist principles. 80 years into the integration project that Spinelli helped spearhead, has the EU lived up to the hopes and expectations of its progressive cheerleaders? Undoubtedly yes, argues historian Konrad H. Jarausch, Lurcy Ann Professor of European Civilization at the University of North Carolina. In Embattled Europe: A Progressive Alternative (2021), Professor Jarausch remarks that Europe has become something of a dirty word for right-wing populists on both sides of the Atlantic, which he views as a testament of the bloc's success in building a mixed model of laissez-faire capitalism buffered by a strong safety net. Similarly, in The Primacy of Politics (2006), Professor Sheri Berman of Columbia's Barnard College described European-style social democracy as the end-stage solution to the central challenge of modern politics, that of reconciling a free enterprise economy with a democratic polity. Professors Jarausch and Berman join us on the podcast this week to discuss Europe's complex place betwixt social democracy and neoliberalism.

Be aware of marketing to sell patented molecules instead of giving you the full truth!"Why did the ancient inhabitants of the region known today as Greece, which became the founding culture of Western civilization, begin around Magnesia? Did the Greeks have knowledge of the regional soft stone that could be dissolved with water into a viscous brine and used on the skin, directly or through natural spring formations? Did that knowledge allow for zero magnesium deficiency, contrary to our 95% deficient Western culture of today, and therefore allow for the stronger bones, tissues, nerves and brains of our ancestors?. Can we truly find full health if this valuable wisdom of the past is not recovered and brought into a modern light and application?”theheartoftradition.com

We tend to think of freedom as something that is best protected by carefully circumscribing the boundaries of legitimate state activity. But who came up with this understanding of freedom, and for what purposes? In a reappraisal of more than two thousand years of thinking about freedom in the West, Annelien de Dijn argues in her Freedom: An Unruly History (Harvard University Press) that we owe our view of freedom not to the liberty lovers of the Age of Revolution but to the enemies of democracy. The conception of freedom most prevalent today—that it depends on the limitation of state power—is a deliberate and dramatic rupture with long-established ways of thinking about liberty. For centuries people in the West identified freedom not with being left alone by the state but with the ability to exercise control over the way in which they were governed. They had what might best be described as a democratic conception of liberty. Understanding the long history of freedom underscores how recently it has come to be identified with limited government. It also reveals something crucial about the genealogy of current ways of thinking about freedom.

They had what might best be described as a democratic conception of liberty. Understanding the long history of freedom underscores how recently it has come to be identified with limited government. It also reveals something crucial about the genealogy of current ways of thinking about freedom.

We tend to think of freedom as something that is best protected by carefully circumscribing the boundaries of legitimate state activity. But who came up with this understanding of freedom, and for what purposes? In a reappraisal of more than two thousand years of thinking about freedom in the West, Annelien de Dijn argues in her Freedom: An Unruly History (Harvard University Press) that we owe our view of freedom not to the liberty lovers of the Age of Revolution but to the enemies of democracy.

In his new book, Broken Lives: How Ordinary Germans Experienced the 20th Century (Princeton University Press, 2018), Konrad Jarausch, the Lurcy Professor of European Civilization at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, examines the lives of ordinary Germans throughout the 20th century. Drawing on six dozen memoirs of Germans born in the 1920s he demonstrates how these individuals experienced, Third Reich, the Holocaust, the Cold War and finally reunification. Ultimately, Jarausch argues that this generation’s focus on its suffering led them to a more critical understanding of their national identity, which resulted in Germany becoming the model for European democracy.

Darrell Castle talks about purchases of French landmarks by the Saudi Royal Family, attacks on French women, and especially French Jews by Muslim immigrants. Transcription / Notes EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION  IS CIRCLING THE DRAIN Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report.  Today is Friday, January 12, 2018, and on today's Report, I will be talking about some recent events in Europe and the Middle East, and what these events say about the future of Europe, especially France.  From the title of this Report, you may be thinking, “he's given up on happiness and gone off the deep end again”, but before you jump to that conclusion, just hear me out. First of all, I have made a commitment to talk about Europe in these Reports as often as possible because European Civilization is Western Civilization, and that is our civilization, at least it once was.  Our story this week began in the New York Times Sunday Edition of December 17, 2017, when that paper carried a front page story about the new Crown Prince in Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. You should remember him from the recent Report I did concerning his appointment by King Salman as his successor, as well as his efforts to reform Saudi society. It seems that the young Prince, age 32, has gone abroad looking for places to put his country's wealth and France is one of the lucky recipients.  There are many landmarks in France that represent French history and, as the tour guides will tell you, the landmarks also remind us of the glory of the age of kings.  The most prominent and famous, and a symbol of France itself, is the Palace of Versailles.  Louis XIV built Versailles as his permanent home during his 72 year reign, and now it is perhaps the structure that, except for the Eiffel Tower, is most representative of France and the French people. Next to Versailles once sat another château, also built by Louis XIV, on 57 manicured acres of gardens.  These Chateaus are more than just symbols or landmarks, they represent the history of a once great nation, and more importantly, they should be the property of the French people who built and paid for them with their labor and blood.  But nevertheless, in 2009, one Chateau was bulldozed and a new, high-tech Chateau Louis XIV was built in its place by Emad Khashoggi, nephew of the late billionaire arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.  The new Chateau recently sold for $300 million to a mystery purchaser, but a little research by the New York Times revealed the purchaser to be the Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman. Does this mean that France has sold its soul?  Perhaps it means that France has sold its history, culture, and the nation itself as well as its soul.  France is no longer even a nation-state, and it has been reduced to just a place where people live.  No borders, and as the new prime minister, Emmanuel Macron, said, no culture.  France sells its national treasures to the highest bidder without regard to whom or what that bidder is.  There is no regard whatsoever of history, culture, tradition or religion.  None of those things exist anymore since they have been exchanged for a new multicultural, open society where everything goes because nothing matters. Ethics, the foundation of civilization, has been destroyed, or at least abandoned, almost everywhere but especially in France.  The new multicultural socialist state is fostered on the people, and they absorb it and embrace it because from early childhood they have been indoctrinated with the belief that all truth is just a matter of opinion and absolute truth does not exist.  Right and wrong then are just matters of opinion, and opinions can change from day-to-day.  Government is free and encouraged to do whatever appears necessary, without exception or limit. Government is given all power and control over everything, and is therefore responsible for everything.  If your child is failing in the government's school system, it is obviously the government's fault and responsib...

Darrell Castle takes time while on the campaign trail to talk about the right of free people to defend themselves in light of the shooting in Orlando. Transcript… Hello this is Darrell Castle with today's pod cast. Today is Friday June 17, 2016 and on today's pod cast we are going to be discussing the right of free people to defend themselves. By now we know about as much about what happened in Orlando as the government will allow us to know. The media will not actually conduct an investigation; instead it will just repeat the government's version of the story over and over until enough of us accept it as the truth and condemn anyone who doesn't believe it. I won't repeat the media stories of the actual event then because I would rather examine the reaction to the event. President Obama took awhile to frame his response finally speaking to the nation at 2PM on the day after the attack. He said the shooting was being investigated as both as a hate crime and an act of terrorism. “This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub. And we have to decide it that's the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision as well.” The Orlando attack does not easily fit the left's usual narrative for how these things work. The shooter is supposed to be from a bad, politically incorrect group when he attacks a good politically correct group. For example this time the shooter was a registered Democrat. That fact should surprise no one since most Muslims are registered Democrats. I suppose they understand that the Democratic Party supports the destruction of European Civilization and values thru multiculturalism and diversity. The Republican Party supports it as well but they are ashamed of their support so they are not open about it. Everywhere we look now, we have one official narrative pushed upon us. The government, the media, educational institutions, and entertainment all tell us that the good people have the moral high ground and therefore should be able to dictate and control the agenda. The good people, as they define them, are homosexuals, transsexuals, Muslims, people of color, women, feminist men, left leaning people of all colors, and other victim groups. Differences that may occasionally occur between these groups should not divert our attention from the fact that they are all victims and therefore “good people.” Everyone else is by elimination “bad people.” Traditional men and women of all colors, conservatives of all colors, theologically conservative Christians, Trump supporters, and of course supporters of the Constitution Party and its candidate, Darrell Castle. The bad people try to spoil the world for all the good people by arguing that self defense is a basic human right and they will not be disarmed and enslaved. The influence of the bad people can be minimized by importing good people into the country to dilute the influence of the bad people so the borders are left open and Muslims are invited and encouraged to immigrate to Europe and America. This entire line of reasoning was dealt a serious blow by the attack in Orlando. According to President Obama the shooting was the fault of all the average bad people for not loving the gay community enough. We need the strength and courage to change he said. But the shooter was not an average guy since he was clearly in the good person camp. He pledged his allegiance to ISIS. He was interviewed at least twice by the FBI for links to terrorism and reportedly told them that he someday wanted to be a martyr. His ex-wife even said that he was gay and you can't get any better than that. There are at least nine countries, all predominantly Muslim, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Sudan which openly support the death penalty for homosexuality as dictated by ...

Italian Vocal Coach Simone di Felice is with us to discuss more arias from Le nozze di Figaro--since he and I had such a long conversation with a ton of useful information, it will be spread out over two episodes! This week it's Bartolo's aria, "La Vendetta", focusing on some standard verb endings with stressed E, some consonants that are automatically doubled between two vowels and the assimilation of N before certain consonants. The new phonetic letter we talk about is the labio dental [ɱ]. The Opera Guide has a libretto for Le Nozze di Figaro. You'll have to click on Libretto and the letter I (for Italian!), then scroll down to Aria No. 4. The history resources I mentioned on this episode are the classes "History 5: European Civilization from the Renaissance to the Present" from UC Berkeley on iTunes University (there are several years to choose from) and the podcast The History of Rome, hosted by Mike Duncan (also available free on iTunes). Feel free to contact me with any comments, questions or suggestions here, on the Facebook page or directly at ellen@ellenrissinger.com

Melvyn Bragg assesses the role Rome has played in European civilization. The myths that surround the foundation of Rome are a potent brew. Romulus and Remus, the sons of Mars, raised by a she-wolf in the woods of Latium, the Sabine women raped by the Latins, Aeneas the Trojan General, wrecked off Carthage, loved by Dido and finally founding a new civilisation on the Tiber's banks. According to William Shakespeare, after Brutus slayed his friend Caesar he claimed, “Not that I loved Caesar less but that I loved Rome more”. But what was the idea of Rome that demanded such devotion? And how was an identity forged that exported its values to the greatest Empire the world had ever seen? Rome has meant Republicanism, as well as Imperialism; it has stood for Pax Romana and also for the machinery of war, it is an eternally pagan city that still beats as the Catholic Heart of the Christian Church. With Mary Beard, Reader in Classics at Cambridge University, Catherine Edwards, Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History at Birkbeck College, London University; Greg Woolf, Professor of Ancient History at St Andrews University.
