Today I sit down with historian Roger Moorhouse and discuss his most recent work: The Forgers: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust's Most Audacious Rescue Operation. Between 1940 and 1943, a group of Polish diplomats in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable—and until now, completely unknown—humanitarian operation. In concert with Jewish activists, they masterminded a systematic program of forging passports and identity documents for Latin American countries, which were then smuggled into German-occupied Europe to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
Beginning in 1940 a group of Polish diplomats based in Bern, Switzerland, orchestrated a program of forging passports and identity documents from Latin American countries. These were then smuggled into Nazi-occupied countries, where they were used to save thousands of Jews from the Holocaust. When the Ładoś Group–named after its leader, Aleksander Ładoś, the Polish ambassador to Switzerland–ended its activities in 1943 it had saved possibly as many as 10,000 people from extermination, making it one of the largest conspiracies on behalf of the survival of the European Jews. Roger Moorhouse describes the Lados Group and its activities in his new book The Forgers: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust's Most Audacious Rescue Operation. His most recent book was Poland 1939: The Outbreak of World War II (which won the Polish Foreign Ministry History Prize). He is also the author of Berlin at War (shortlisted for the Hessell-Tiltman Prize), and The Devils' Alliance. He is a visiting professor at the College of Europe in Warsaw. For Further Information As mentioned in the podcast, Episode 273 was an exhaustive examination of the life of Josef Pilsudski: father of modern Poland, socialist, Siberian exile, civilian, military thinker, bank robber, master diplomat, and dictator. Also a friend of the podcast, or so we hope. Some common terrain was also discussed in Episode 317, about the village of Oberstdorf in the Allgauer Alps.

Between 1940 and 1943, Polish diplomats based in Bern, Switzerland, engaged in a remarkable – and until now, almost completely untold – humanitarian operation. This operation, which has only recently come to light, was one of the largest actions to aid Jews of the entire war. In concert with two Jewish activists, these diplomats masterminded a systematic program of forging documents for Latin American countries that were smuggled into occupied Europe, in an attempt to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust. Today, I speak with renowned WW2 historian Roger Morehouse. Roger is the author of the books Killing Hitler, Berlin at War: Life and Death in Hitler's Capital, 1939-45, and The Devils' Alliance: Hitler's Pact with Stalin, 1939-1941. Here, we discuss his new book The Forgers which chronicles the work of the diplomats in a little known story about WW2.Remember to subscribe, rate, and review Eyewitness History.Follow the Show on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EyewitnessHistoryTwitter: https://twitter.com/EyewitnessPodThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5351305/advertisement
: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust's Most Audacious Rescue Operation...with TRE's Giles Brown

The Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in southern China had over 140 works stolen from their collection, but nobody noticed for years. This is because the thief replaced every item he stole… with his own paintings. Now some guy working in a museum quietly helping himself to the collection of artworks then replacing them with his own copies seems pretty strange and bold, but this next bit brings the story to next-level bananas territory. According to Xiao theft and forgery were rampant. He said he noticed that people were stealing his forgeries and replacing them with their forgeries. It kinda makes you wonder if he was getting the originals or if he was forging a copy of a forgery. I mean he did steal and copy work by Zang Daqian, a landscape and still-life painter who was also considered to be a master forger himself. Xiao plead guilty in court, but warned that the lax security was causing big problems for the university's collection. He said that he noticed fakes in there from his first day on the job and obviously quite a few more of them popping up throughout his time there.

David Henty was such a brilliant art forger that when he got out of prison – and no, he wasn't ‘framed' – people started asking him for authentic David Henty forgeries of Picasso, Dali, and other ‘wall of famers' to hang in their homes and offices. In this episode he joins Bruce & @TheRealDrKev to explain how an early ‘brush' with the law as a passport forger propelled him into the world of fine art; how his photographic memory means he only needs to glance at a painting once in order to recreate it; how cover bands and art forgers really aren't all that different from each other; how forgers are better placed than psychologists to get into the minds of the Old Masters …and how, if Kev & Bruce ever fall on hard times, there's a Picasso with their name on it in his studio.You can listen to and watch longer episodes of Psycho Schizo Espresso AD FREE if you become a Patreon at www.patreon.com/psychoschizoespressoTo access the YouTube version of this episode ofPsycho Schizo Espresso, please visit https://youtu.be/wA_guPNYGKkPlease make sure you like, subscribe, rate, review and comment wherever you get your Podcasts from.

The high-end art world is one of the most secretive—and largely unregulated—global enterprises. The list of its associations with crime runs long and deep from art theft to tax fraud, to forgery, and money laundering. Join Michael and his guests Stefan Koldehoff and Tobias Timm as they discuss their new book, Art and Crime, The Fight Against Looters, Forgers, and Fraudsters in the High-Stakes Art World. Joining Michael as a special guest to help facilitate this conversation is Dr. Philip Eliasoph, Professor of Art History & Visual Culture at Fairfield University, Connecticut. Guests Stefan Koldehoff and Tobias Timm Stefan Koldehoff, born in 1967, is culture editor at Deutschlandfunk in Cologne, and writes for Die Zeit and art – Das Kunstmagazine among other publications. In 2008 he received the Puk journalist prize for his investigative research. Koldehoff and Tobias Timm are the author of Art and Crime, and in 2012, they published False Pictures, Real Money on the Beltracchi case. The book was awarded the Prix Annette Giacometti and the Otto Brenner Prize. Galiani also published his books The Pictures Are Among Us: The Nazi-Looted Art Business and the Gurlitt Case (2014) and Me and Van Gogh: Pictures, Collectors and Their Adventurous Stories (2015). KOLDEHOFF and TOBIAS TIMM were recently counted among the 100 most influential people in the art business by the national German magazine monopol. Tobias Timm, born in 1975 in Munich, studied urban ethnology, history, and cultural studies in Berlin and New York. He has written for Die Zeit's feature pages from Berlin on architecture, art, and crime. In 2012, he and Stefan Koldehoff published False Pictures, Real Money on the Beltracchi case. The book was awarded the Prix Annette Giacometti and the Otto Brenner Prize. TIMM and STEFAN KOLDEHOFF were recently counted among the 100 most influential people in the art business by the national German magazine monopol. Dr. Philip Eliasoph Professor of Art History & Visual Culture, Dept of Visual & Performing Arts. As founder of Fairfield's Art History program (1975), Professor Eliasoph has been devoted to expanding students' knowledge, understanding and direct observation of world art. Sharing his passion for the history of art, he has focused on western art in the traditional and revolutionary contexts. Publishing on Renaissance models, ‘bel disegno' academic, canonical methods, his writing and public views converge on the muscular shifts of mid century American art styles – from Social Realism to avant-gardist Abstract Expressionism. In his critique of recycling styles, he proposes a history of art without labels, periods, or categorizations. More broadly, his lectures and museum tours are based on the continuum of style/zeitgeist progress from antiquity to the cyber age. The heritage of painting, sculpture, architecture and mass media as revealing ‘mirrors of time, place, and society.' Combining Ignatian inspired ‘discernment' with the humanistic qualities of aesthetic enjoyment, his lively, dynamic talks expand the pleasures of viewing the visual arts. Setting out with basic questions – speaking with freshman students or senior, lifelong art lovers, we come to explore: ‘what is Art?'* ‘why does humanity treasure its values?'* ‘how can I learn to actively critique, analyze and appreciate art as part of my own intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth as a fully realized human being”? In sync with an educated audience's aspirations to follow Jefferson's idea of ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,' he hopes to inspire and delight art enthusiasts of all ages. Often invited as a public lecturer, connoisseur and animated raconteur, his hope is to share his own artistic journeys as multi-dimensional ‘classroom/museum without walls.'

The high-end art world is one of the most secretive—and largely unregulated—global enterprises. The list of its associations with crime runs long and deep from art theft to tax fraud, to forgery, and money laundering. Join Michael and his guests Stefan Koldehoff and Tobias Timm as they discuss their new book, Art and Crime, The Fight Against Looters, Forgers, and Fraudsters in the High-Stakes Art World. Joining Michael as a special guest to help facilitate this conversation is Dr. Philip Eliasoph, Professor of Art History & Visual Culture at Fairfield University, Connecticut. Guests Stefan Koldehoff and Tobias Timm Stefan Koldehoff, born in 1967, is culture editor at Deutschlandfunk in Cologne, and writes for Die Zeit and art - Das Kunstmagazine among other publications. In 2008 he received the Puk journalist prize for his investigative research. Koldehoff and Tobias Timm are the author of Art and Crime, and in 2012, they published False Pictures, Real Money on the Beltracchi case. The book was awarded the Prix Annette Giacometti and the Otto Brenner Prize. Galiani also published his books The Pictures Are Among Us: The Nazi-Looted Art Business and the Gurlitt Case (2014) and Me and Van Gogh: Pictures, Collectors and Their Adventurous Stories (2015). KOLDEHOFF and TOBIAS TIMM were recently counted among the 100 most influential people in the art business by the national German magazine monopol. Tobias Timm, born in 1975 in Munich, studied urban ethnology, history, and cultural studies in Berlin and New York. He has written for Die Zeit's feature pages from Berlin on architecture, art, and crime. In 2012, he and Stefan Koldehoff published False Pictures, Real Money on the Beltracchi case. The book was awarded the Prix Annette Giacometti and the Otto Brenner Prize. TIMM and STEFAN KOLDEHOFF were recently counted among the 100 most influential people in the art business by the national German magazine monopol. Dr. Philip Eliasoph Professor of Art History & Visual Culture, Dept of Visual & Performing Arts. As founder of Fairfield's Art History program (1975), Professor Eliasoph has been devoted to expanding students' knowledge, understanding and direct observation of world art. Sharing his passion for the history of art, he has focused on western art in the traditional and revolutionary contexts. Publishing on Renaissance models, 'bel disegno' academic, canonical methods, his writing and public views converge on the muscular shifts of mid century American art styles - from Social Realism to avant-gardist Abstract Expressionism. In his critique of recycling styles, he proposes a history of art without labels, periods, or categorizations. More broadly, his lectures and museum tours are based on the continuum of style/zeitgeist progress from antiquity to the cyber age. The heritage of painting, sculpture, architecture and mass media as revealing 'mirrors of time, place, and society.' Combining Ignatian inspired 'discernment' with the humanistic qualities of aesthetic enjoyment, his lively, dynamic talks expand the pleasures of viewing the visual arts. Setting out with basic questions - speaking with freshman students or senior, lifelong art lovers, we come to explore: 'what is Art?'* 'why does humanity treasure its values?'* 'how can I learn to actively critique, analyze and appreciate art as part of my own intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth as a fully realized human being"? In sync with an educated audience's aspirations to follow Jefferson's idea of 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,' he hopes to inspire and delight art enthusiasts of all ages. Often invited as a public lecturer, connoisseur and animated raconteur, his hope is to share his own artistic journeys as multi-dimensional 'classroom/museum without walls.' With decades of 'in country' art directed programs, he has escorted thousands of art pilgrims to museums, cultural landmarks, world heritage sites throughout the US and Europ...

In this episode we're reaching into the archive and retrieving stories of secrets and lies from the world of art. Over many years Shaun Greenhalgh created art forgeries in his garden shed in the English town of Bolton. He fooled the art world into thinking his paintings and sculptures were lost masterpieces by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, Gauguin and Degas. The scale and breadth of his work is unprecedented. The personal story behind one of the most famous art frauds of recent times. Margaret Keane was the artist behind the popular 'Big Eyes' paintings of the 1960s, but her husband Walter Keane bullied her into letting him take the credit for them. He made millions of dollars from them, until Margaret took him to court to prove they were her own. Margaret's story was turned into a feature film by Hollywood director, Tim Burton. And if all this sharing of secrets has got you thinking about a story in your own life we'd love to hear it. Write to us, or send a short voice memo to outlook@bbc.com.

Michael Backman & Sarah Corbett discuss the ever important task of identifying fakes and forgeries in the art & antiques world.
3 November 2019 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Luke 19:1-10 + Homily 17 Minutes 45 Seconds Link to the Readings: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/110319.cfm (New American Bible, Revised Edition) From the parish bulletin: A 1973 film directed by Orson Welles was about forgers, and it turned out to be something of a forgery itself. Some of the information in “F for Fake” was itself faked. Later on, Welles claimed that this was deliberately done as a kind of joke, and he took to calling it an “essay” and “docudrama” rather than an authentic documentary. In art circles, some forgers have become celebrities, both for their skill and for their criminal cleverness. In the last century the Hungarian forger Elmyr de Hory duped over one thousand collectors with his copies of masterpieces. John Myatt swindled Sotheby’s and Christie’s with his. Robert Driessen made a fortune from his slick forgeries of Giacometti. More impressive was Han van Meegeren, who became a folk hero in Holland for the way he could forge works by Vermeer. In 1911, when the Mona Lisa was temporarily stolen, Yves Chaudron was reputed to have sold six copies to unsuspecting wealthy Americans. It is surprising that Michelangelo carved what he claimed was an ancient Roman sculpture of “Eros Sleeping,” which he aged by rubbing it with acidic soil. He did this when he was 21, possibly as a joke, around the same time that he made the Pietà, so he certainly was not lacking talent. A friend asked me why forgeries are less valuable than originals, if it is hard to tell them apart. The question can be annoying, but it has a certain logic. The answer, of course, is that the value of a work consists not only in its artistry, but in its originality. In that sense, what we call creativity is a gift of God who alone is the Source of all things, including life itself. Only God is the primary Creator, and humans are his pro-creators. We cannot produce something out of nothing. The more individuals allow God, by a right exercise of the free will, to shape their souls according to his likeness, the more their individuality becomes pronounced. This is the work of “sanctifying grace” by which God “perfects human nature,” as Saint Thomas described the process (Summa Theol. 1, 1, 8 ad. 2). The Anti-Christ cannot create, and so he tries to make human forgeries, by sin. The more people block the will of God, the more they become uninspired copies of each other. This is why sinners are predictable, while saints are always surprising. No two saints are alike. A figure of speech, synecdoche, uses one word, as part of something, to represent the whole. Forgers are synecdoches of all sinners who pretend to be creative instead of letting God work through them. The month of November focuses on the saints, who are not cleverly crafted imitations, but who are authentic images of God who "alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see" (1 Timothy 6:16).
The guys get together and begin a discussion on the Shadowspawn/Shadowwrought in general. This first part manages to cover the Trollocs, Myrddraal (again but not as in depth this time), Jumara, Cafar, and Forgers. That's a good five out of the ten general types of Shadowspawn right? Right. Next week we will cover the rest of the Dark One's own creatures, or the children of Aginor if you prefer.

We're back to talk about the new fandom name, whether Edgeworth actually forged evidence or not, and more news than you can even handle. Originally Published February 6, 2014
In 1869, two well diggers in Cardiff, N.Y., unearthed an enormous figure made of stone. More than 600,000 people flocked to see the mysterious giant, but even as its fame grew, its real origins were coming to light. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Cardiff giant, one of the greatest hoaxes of the 19th century. We'll also ponder the effects of pink and puzzle over a potentially painful treatment. Intro: Edgar Rice Burroughs invented a variant of chess for a book set on Mars. Due to an unfortunate edict, a ladder in Jerusalem has remained unmoved for 200 years. Sources for our feature on the Cardiff giant: Scott Tribble, A Colossal Hoax, 2008.

Today, Isaac Newton is best known for his scientific pursuits -- but he also served as Warden and, later, Master of the Royal Mint. And this wasn't some sort of honorary position, either: Newton took his job of hunting down forgers seriously, and may have even bent (or broken) the law in his quest to arrest and hang his archnemesis, the counterfeiting kingpin William Chaloner.

Denis Vrain-Lucas was an undistinguished forger until he met gullible collector Michel Chasles. Through the 1860s Lucas sold Chasles thousands of phony letters by everyone from Plato to Louis the 14th, earning thousands of francs and touching off a firestorm among confused scholars. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll trace the career of the world's most prolific forger. We'll also count Queen Elizabeth's eggs and puzzle over a destroyed car.

How would one know the role and life purpose of existence unless one receives clear and practical instructions of what God wants and expects of him or her? Here comes the need for Prophethood. Thus, God has sent thousands of Prophets and Messengers to humankind. Every nation on Earth received a Prophet. God states in the Quran: "And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and shun False Gods, and among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So, proceed through the Earth and observe how was the end of the deniers" (16:36) They all preached the same general message that there is only one deity worthy of worship. He is the One and Only God, without a partner, son, daughter, or equal. All other gods are false and are only creations of God and not the actual Creator. All the Prophets and Messengers came with the same purpose, to lead humanity to God. Muslims believe that God communicates His guidance through human Prophets. Belief in the prophets who God relayed His Message to humanity is a required article of the Islamic faith. God states: "The Prophet (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in God, His Angels, His Books, and His prophets. (They say,) 'We make no distinction between one another of His prophets..." (Quran 2:285) The Prophets seek nothing for their personal interest in this world. Instead, they seek things for the public interest by warning their people against what may harm them. God sent Prophets to humanity for several reasons, for instance, to guide humanity from worshipping created beings and to worship their Creator, the Creator of all things. The Prophets came to guide humankind to build a relationship with their Creator, to know Him and to love Him. The Prophets taught humanity that life is only a test where the successful will enter Heaven eternally, and the unsuccessful will enter the hellfire. Prophets and Messengers were sent to teach humanity about righteousness, morals, ethics, and how to purify their souls from evil. They were also sent to teach about the unseen world which exists beyond our ordinary senses and physical universe, such as the existence of the Angels. God sent Prophets and Messengers to stand as witnesses on the Day of Judgement to the ones that will claim they never heard the message. Muslims believe, respect, honor, and love all Prophets and Messengers of God, starting with Prophet Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Moses, and Prophet Jesus peace be upon them all, all who invited people to worship God and shun false gods. Muslims believe in many of the Prophets found in Jewish and Christian traditions. Muslims also believe in God's final Testament to man, which was revealed to the last and final Prophet; Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, who was sent to the last and final nation, our nation. God states in the Quran: "Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the last of the prophets" (Quran 33:40) Out of the Infinite Mercy and Love of God, God continued to send Prophets and Revelations to guide humanity. Each Prophet and Book was sent down to different nations and people. There were over one hundred thousand Prophets and Messengers sent to all of humanity, to all nations and races, in all corners of the world. Some Prophets were superior to others. The best among them were Prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon them. God states: Islam states, all the previous Prophets and Books other than the Holy Quran and Prophet Muhammad were sent down only for a particular nation and a specific group of people and were only meant to be followed for a particular period. For example, Muslims believe Prophet Jesus peace be upon him was one of God's mightiest messengers of God who was sent down with the same general Message of all the previous Prophets but was only sent to the Children of Israel as their final Prophet because they were veering away from the laws and disobeying the commandments of God. Prophet Jesus’ mission was to confirm the Torah that was previously sent, to make certain lawful things that were previously unlawful to ease their lives and to proclaim and re-affirm the belief in One God. Prophet Jesus peace be upon him was not meant for the non-Israelites. God states in his final Revelation in the Holy Quran that He would teach Prophet Jesus peace be upon him the Torah, the Gospel, and the Wisdom. "And He will teach him writing and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel" (Quran 3:48) To spread his message to the Israelites, Prophet Jesus peace be upon him was taught the Torah, and he was provided with his own Revelation from God, the Gospel (Injeel). God also bestowed Prophet Jesus peace be upon him with the ability to guide and influence his people with signs and miracles to prove he was sent down by God. The miracles were proof he wasn't an imposter. All the wonders and miracles that were granted by Prophet Jesus or any Prophet of God is only done with the permission and power of God and are usually in the field in which his people excel and are recognized as superior at the time and place of the Prophet. People of later generations disoriented all the earlier Revelations of God. As a result, pure Revelation from God was polluted with myths, words of men, superstitions, irrational philosophical ideologies, and idol worship. The religion of God was lost in a plethora of religions. Later, when humanity was in the depth of dark ages, God the Almighty sent his last and final Messenger Prophet Muhamad and his final Revelation, the Holy Koran, to redeem humanity. The Koran and the final Messenger peace be upon him affirmed everything that was revealed to all the previous messengers in the past. Since past Revelations were meant for past nations, The Holy Qur’an and the way of Prophet Muhammad abrogates all the previous laws. By the Wisdom of God, He did not allow the teachings of the earlier prophets to remain preserved in an entirely undistorted manner. There will be no Prophet, or Book after The Holy Koran and Prophet Mohamad peace be upon him. Prophet Mohamad was not only sent down to the Arabs or Muslims, rather was sent down for all of humanity till the end of time. The Quran states: "And We have not sent you (O Muhammad) except as a bringer of glad tidings and a warner unto all humanity, but most people know not" (Quran 34:28) God chose the best among humanity to deliver His Message. Prophethood is not earned or acquired thru certain practices or higher education. God chooses whom He pleases and thinks would be the best fit for this purpose. The Prophets and Messengers were best in morals and manners and were mentally and physically fit for the task and were protected by God from falling into major sins. The Prophets were the best in their community morally and intellectually so they can serve as good role models for their followers. Their personality was one that attracted people to accept their Message rather than drive people away. They did not err nor commit mistakes in delivering the Message. All of God's messengers preached the same general Message. They preached there is Only One God; one should love Him with All his heart, Worship Him to his or her best ability & praise Him and Follow His Laws. The Prophet's Messages came with glad tidings and a warning. The glad tidings were for those who believe informing them that their past sins will be forgiven, and a generous reward of Paradise will be awarded to them. The warning is for those who disbelieve informing them that if they continue their evil ways, their final destination will be the hellfire. The Quran states: "Verily! We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner. And there never was a nation, but a warner had passed among them" (Quran 35:24) and the Quran also states: "Verily, those who fear their Lord unseen, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward" (Quran 67:12) Prophet Muhammed was sent with a Message in the language of the people he was sent upon. So, they can easily understand the Message, apply it in their lives, and then convey it to others. If he had not carried the Message in their language, they would not have understood him. Since Prophet Muhammad was sent to the Arabs speaking plain Arabic, they had no excuse but to hear his message. God states in the Quran: "And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning)" (Quran 17:15) Prophet Muhamad's Message was certainly not limited to the people of his time. Instead, Prophet Muhammad was sent to all of humanity. This is stated repeatedly in the Qur'an. Whereas Prophet Muhammad was an Arab, only 4 of the 25 mentioned Prophets in the Holy Qur’an were Arabs. The Arab Prophets were Prophet Hud (Eber in English), Prophet Saleh, Prophet Shuaib (known in the Biblical literature as Jethro) and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon them. Prophet Muhammad is only mentioned four times in the Koran by name. The most mentioned Prophet in the Quran is Moses. Prophet Moses peace be upon him is mentioned in over 70 passages. Prophet Moses was the most mentioned Prophet in the Quran because he was the most similar to Prophet Muhammad and his nation was the most similar to our nation so we could learn and benefit from their mistakes. In reading and learning what happened to the Israelites and their errors, our nation can avoid making the same mistakes they made. One-way God delivers his guidance to humanity is through giving examples of past nations, their stories, and their mistakes, so people now can benefit, not make the same mistakes, and live their lives accordingly. The Almighty states: "There was certainly in their stories a lesson for those of understanding. Never was the Qur'an a narration invented, but a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of all things and guidance and mercy for a people who believe" (Quran 12:111) In each story mentioned in the Quran, there are many lessons. People went to extremes with the Prophets that were sent from God. Some Prophets were rejected and accused of being sorcerers, madmen, Forgers, Plagiarizers, Magicians, Poets, soothsayers, imposters, and liars, even though they came with miracles and Books beyond the power of humans, to prove they were sent from God. For instance, Prophet Jesus peace be upon him, son of Mary, was rejected by the Jews and they refused to consider him to be the Messenger they had been waiting for. The Jews rejected Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhamad, even though their Book spoke about an upcoming Prophet that will come 'I will establish a Prophet for them from among their brothers, like you, and I will place My words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him' (Devarim 18:18). This Prophet was no other than the Prophet Muhamad peace be upon him. The Christians also rejected Prophet Muhamad. However, Muslims believe in all Prophets sent from God starting with Prophet Adam to the last and final Prophet, Prophet Muhamad. Muslims accept all Prophets and Messengers of God who brought guidance to humanity. However, the Revelations which the Prophets before Prophet Muhammad brought from God have been tampered with by men over the years. Since the Bible was sent down for a particular group of people and a particular period, God did not feel it fit to preserve the Bible. It is now mixed with words of men and contains hundreds of scientific errors which prove it's no longer in the same form as it once was when Prophet Jesus peace be upon him was present. Since the Holy Quran is meant for all of humanity as a whole and is intended to eternity. God made sure he preserved it from being tampered with. The Quran is the only Book of God that remains untampered, untouched, whole, standing the same form as it came down over 1400 years ago. God states in the Quran: "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an, and indeed, We will be its guardian (guard it against corruption)" (Quran 15:9) While some took the Prophets as a joke and rejected them, some, on the contrary, turned Prophets into gods by giving them divine powers or declared them to be children of God like with Prophet Jesus with the Christians. Prophets are to be loved and respected, but no form of worship is to be directed towards them nor are they to be treated as demi-gods or intermediaries between mankind and God. However, Christians appointed him to divine heights that he was not entitled to. Jesus' Message lasted in its original purity for some time. While the Israelites and the Roman authorities rejected his Message, there were a group of people that accepted and believed in his Message called his disciples. Soon after God elevated Prophets Jesus soul and body to Heaven. The early devoted followers of Jesus tried to maintain the purity and clarity of his teachings; that he is only a Messenger of God. Jesus' Message lasted in its original purity for some time, but the Scripture he received was slowly altered and his original Message of the absolute Oneness of God. Soon later, in the next few centuries, different beliefs about Prophet Jesus developed amongst some early Christians. They claimed that he was divine, calling him the son of God, which eventually became the dominant Christian belief. Six centuries after Jesus, God sent His last and final Messenger Muhammad to mankind with His final scripture, known as the Holy Quran. If Jesus claimed to be God then there would be many verses in the Bible which would have mentioned so, however, there is not a single verse in the entire Bible that states Jesus said 'I am God' or 'worship me' Furthermore the Bible itself calls Jesus a Prophet: "When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, Who is this? The crowds answered. This is Jesus, the Prophet from Nazareth in Galilee" (Matthew 21:10-11). How could Prophet Jesus be God and God's Prophet at the same time? That wouldn't make any logical sense. Jesus never claimed he was God, or he should be worshipped. Jesus never claimed divinity. All Prophets and Messengers were created human beings who had no divine attributes, power or any divine qualities of God. They were the best slaves of God that walked the Earth; who ate, drank, slept, and lived normal human lives.
How would one know the role and life purpose of existence unless one receives clear and practical instructions of what God wants and expects of him or her? Here comes the need for Prophethood. Thus, God has sent thousands of Prophets and Messengers to humankind. Every nation on Earth received a Prophet. God states in the Quran: "And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and shun False Gods, and among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed.

Prophets are to be loved and respected, but no form of worship is to be directed towards them nor are they to be treated as demi-gods or intermediaries between mankind and God. However, Christians appointed him to divine heights that he was not entitled to. Jesus' Message lasted in its original purity for some time. While the Israelites and the Roman authorities rejected his Message, there were a group of people that accepted and believed in his Message called his disciples. Soon after God elevated Prophets Jesus soul and body to Heaven. The early devoted followers of Jesus tried to maintain the purity and clarity of his teachings; that he is only a Messenger of God. Jesus' Message lasted in its original purity for some time, but the Scripture he received was slowly altered and his original Message of the absolute Oneness of God. Soon later, in the next few centuries, different beliefs about Prophet Jesus developed amongst some early Christians. They claimed that he was divine, calling him the son of God, which eventually became the dominant Christian belief. Six centuries after Jesus, God sent His last and final Messenger Muhammad to mankind with His final scripture, known as the Holy Quran. If Jesus claimed to be God then there would be many verses in the Bible which would have mentioned so, however, there is not a single verse in the entire Bible that states Jesus said 'I am God' or 'worship me' Furthermore the Bible itself calls Jesus a Prophet: "When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, Who is this? The crowds answered. This is Jesus, the Prophet from Nazareth in Galilee" (Matthew 21:10-11). How could Prophet Jesus be God and God's Prophet at the same time? That wouldn't make any logical sense. Jesus never claimed he was God, or he should be worshipped. Jesus never claimed divinity. All Prophets and Messengers were created human beings who had no divine attributes, power or any divine qualities of God. They were the best slaves of God that walked the Earth; who ate, drank, slept, and lived normal human lives.

This weeks episode features Dan Larimer of Invictus Innovations discussing the shift from Proof Of Work to Delegated Proof Of Stake and the thought process behind the change. We go on to discuss pretty much everything else going on in the development of the bitshares platform. It was a great opportunity to tie up all the loose ends I could think of and Dan was happy to oblige. Then a fellow named Ian with the deepest knowledge of NXT of anyone I've met does pretty much the same thing. We began with Transparent forging and the scope of the interview just widened from there to cover the value of Javascript as a language, some of the frankly astonishing capabilities being developed in the NXT ecosystem and even NEM, a fork of NXT with aspirations of its own!
