Podcasts about France

Darren's open letter to the leadership of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and to Alberta's Chiefs goes viral.   We chat about the bottleneck coming up in the Canada visa program, false accusations of Macron's husband/wife lead to charges and fines in dystopian France, and Freeland's money funneling pays off for her next career move. What are liquid trees and what is info-dynamics? More on Stranger Things, CERN, and occultism from Nick Hinton,   In the second half we get deep into Venezuela, theories on Trump, and in the end our own theory of the near future and the main reason for all this. What should happen if a leader empty's jails into your country, steals oil, moves sanctioned product, etc, never mind drugs? We do not support this but this questions doesn't seem to get answered. The rules based order has not fixed anything and just makes it worse for people. What is to be done? Either way something much deeper is afoot. Is this for protection and the Monroe Doctrine? Is Canada next? and Greenland? Does Trump not want North America but North and South as per the Security Strategy?   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/ or Rokfin www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica Patreon https://www.patreon.com/grimericaoutlawed   Support the show directly: https://grimericacbd.com/ CBD / THC Tinctures and Gummies https://grimerica.ca/support-2/ Our Adultbrain Audiobook Podcast and Website: www.adultbrain.ca Our Audiobook Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@adultbrainaudiobookpublishing/videos Check out our next trip/conference/meetup - Contact at the Cabin www.contactatthecabin.com Other affiliated shows: www.grimerica.ca The OG Grimerica Show Join the chat / hangout with a bunch of fellow Grimericans  Https://t.me.grimerica grimerica.ca/chats   Discord Chats Darren's book www.acanadianshame.ca Eh-List Podcast and site: https://eh-list.ca/ Eh-List YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEh-List www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica Our channel on free speech Rokfin Leave a review on iTunes and/or Stitcher: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/grimerica-outlawed http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/grimerica-outlawed Sign up for our newsletter http://www.grimerica.ca/news SPAM Graham = and send him your synchronicities, feedback, strange experiences and psychedelic trip reports!! graham@grimerica.com InstaGRAM https://www.instagram.com/the_grimerica_show_podcast/  Purchase swag, with partial proceeds donated to the show www.grimerica.ca/swag Send us a postcard or letter http://www.grimerica.ca/contact/ ART - Napolean Duheme's site http://www.lostbreadcomic.com/  MUSIC Tru Northperception, Felix's Site sirfelix.bandcamp.com    For links to all the stuff we chatted about see the podcast post on our website.   https://acanadianshame.substack.com/p/an-open-letter-to-the-leadership https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/chandigarh-news/1-million-indians-in-canada-to-lose-legal-status-by-mid2026-101767204343114.html https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/2008110048388530683 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/world/europe/france-brigitte-macron-cyberbullying-trial-owens.html https://acanadianshame.substack.com/p/an-open-letter-to-the-leadership?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1652372&post_id=183368476&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=bdbre&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email https://acanadianshame.substack.com/p/an-open-letter-to-the-leadership?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1652372&post_id=183368476&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=bdbre&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QtPAnfFvmU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFCDj8EZ1X8 https://x.com/conceptualjames/status/2008160952449999333?s=43 https://x.com/unlimited_ls/status/2006826164560736753?s=43 https://x.com/kagdrogo/status/2007603635405107300?s=43 https://x.com/fft1776/status/2007929044692803867?s=43 https://jonrappoport.substack.com/p/trump-captures-maduro-what-the-hell-is-going-on https://x.com/LauraAboli_X/status/2007789535065674129 https://x.com/RealLindellTV/status/2007255715845640313 https://x.com/KAGdrogo/status/2008255926424551588 https://x.com/RealAF_Patriot/status/2007557374903758946 https://x.com/MattMorseTV/status/2007395225598341613 https://x.com/laralogan/status/2007516427901907229 https://x.com/EthicalSkeptic/status/2007473613054808137 https://x.com/Victoria59L/status/2007796241531322602 https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2007518253309145253 https://x.com/canammissing/status/2007467547780886836 https://x.com/ryangerritsen/status/2007483901057605863 https://x.com/EricaRN4USA/status/2007826972177801586 https://x.com/RealAndyLeeShow/status/2007845533097099305 https://x.com/WarClandestine/status/2007924998703366560 https://x.com/NickHintonn/status/2007044935695126880

TWA Flight 800. July 17, 1996. JFK International Airport. Trans World Airlines Flight 800 was to takeoff for Paris, France at around 7pm EST. Various issues kept it from taking off until 8:19pm. Just 12 minutes into the flight, at 8:31pm, the plane exploded. Efforts were made to rescue anyone alive in the Atlantic Ocean from the destroyed Boeing 747, but none of the 230 passengers and crew had survived. Terrorism was suspected early on as the United States was facing threats at home and abroad. As the investigation continued, though, the evidence began to point to an issue with the plane itself.

The ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro is transferred by armed forces to make his first appearance in a US court on drug trafficking and weapons charges, alongside his wife Cilia Flores. Both were seized by American forces from their compound in Caracas and flown to detention in New York, before being led in handcuffs into a Manhattan courtroom. The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says he's "concerned rules of international law have not been respected", as nations discuss the US actions at a UN Security Council meeting.

It's time to finish what we started - the final Netflix Christmas movie from last year. We're popping the cork on Netflix's Champagne Problems. ABOUT CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMSAn executive travels to France to secure the acquisition of a renowned champagne brand before Christmas, but her plans are upended when she falls into a whirlwind romance with a charming Parisian - only to discover he's the founder's son.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMSNovember 19 2025 | NetflixCAST & CREW OF CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMSMinka Kelly as Sydney PriceTom Wozniczka as Henri CassellBRAN'S CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS SYNOPSISLet's talk about champagne. It's more than just a drink — at least, that's what Sydney wants us to believe. She gives us a full history of champagne and pitches the idea that her company should expand into the champagne market by acquiring a French champagne house. Her boss approves the idea and sends Sydney to France to try to close the deal herself.Before she leaves, Sydney's sisters make her promise that while she's in France, she'll take at least one night off work for herself. She pinky promises. A pinky promise can't be broken.Once she arrives, Sydney decides to visit a nearby bookstore to find a gift for her sister. The concierge recommends a spot, and it turns out to be the most magical bookstore of all time. While looking for the self-help section, she asks a man for help. Luckily, he's hot. Unfortunately (or fortunately), he doesn't actually work there — he just really loves the place.His name is Henri. He dreams of owning a bookstore like this one, except with wine. Sydney explains she's in a rush and wants to see all the major sights. Henri tells her those sights are overrated and offers to show her something better. She reluctantly agrees.They spend a romantic evening together, including a near-kiss on a Ferris wheel. Sydney opens up about her divorce after her husband cheated on her, and Henri shares his struggle with his father, who wants him to take over the family champagne business — while Henri wants to pursue his dream of a wine-themed bookstore. As the night winds down, they kiss. Big ones.The next morning, Sydney wakes up alone — Henri is nowhere to be found — and she's overslept. She rushes across town to her meeting, only to be stunned when she realizes the company's vice president is… Henri. He's equally shocked to see her and horrified to learn she represents a company he despises.Henri's father invites Sydney and the other interested companies to spend the weekend at the family vineyard. By the end of the weekend, he'll decide who gets the business, since Henri clearly doesn't want to take it over himself.Sydney and Henri eventually make up, and Henri pinky promises to give her company a fair shot. Over the weekend, everyone participates in tastings, tours, and events, leading up to individual presentations where each company makes its case.Sydney grows closer to both Henri and his father, and everything seems to be going well — until her boss sends a coworker to France to “help” ensure the deal gets done. While talking with him, Sydney discovers the company's real plan: acquire the champagne house, flip it, and strip the family of control.Henri overhears the conversation, assumes the worst, and leaves before Sydney can explain her anger over the plan. When Sydney tracks him down, Henri insists they can't be together.Sydney quits her job, warns Henri's father about the company's intentions, and returns to the hotel. Realizing he's made a huge mistake, Henri finds Sydney at the bookstore where they first met. They make up — and make out.One year later, Henri and Sydney celebrate Christmas together, surrounded by family and friends, in their newly opened wine bookstore.

Dans cet épisode, on est loin des clichés dorés qu'on colle habituellement aux diplomates. Pas de pyramide de Ferrero Rocher (ou pas que) … mais un métier complexe, exigeant, profondément humain.Adrien Frier, Consul général de France à Los Angeles depuis 2024, nous ouvre les coulisses de plus de quinze années au cœur de la diplomatie française. Il nous raconte son enfance entre villes et déracinements, l'héritage d'une famille engagée dans le service public, revient sur ses premières années sur les dossiers européens, son immersion au Département d'État américain en pleine transition Obama-Trump, son rôle dans la lutte contre le terrorisme et la guerre en Ukraine, et enfin son arrivée à Los Angeles, où il sert plus de 25 000 Français.On parle aussi de la vie de famille quand tout le monde déménage pour le travail d'une seule personne, du rôle des conjoints suiveurs, des JO Paris-Los Angeles 2024-2028, du sport comme outil diplomatique, des clichés (et de ceux qui sont vrais), du numéro France Consulaire, de ses projets pour la communauté… et oui, même de jeux vidéo.Un épisode dense, sincère, parfois drôle, souvent touchant, qui montre une diplomatie loin des étiquettes et beaucoup plus incarnée qu'on ne l'imagine. Et comme on diffuse en janvier, Adrien Frier partage aussi ses vœux pour 2026 : pour lui, pour les Français de la circonscription, pour la France et pour le monde.French Expat est un podcast de French Morning qui raconte les parcours de vie des Français établis hors de France.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. Twenty-nine leading MBA programs have an application deadline during this upcoming week!  In fact, the only top schools without deadlines this week are NYU / Stern, MIT / Sloan, Texas / McCombs, USC / Marshall and INSEAD  - and these programs all have deadlines next week or the following week. Graham highlighted MBA webinar events that are on the horizon that Clear Admit is hosting. The first webinar looks at the enduring value of the MBA. The second series of events is for deferred admissions candidates who are currently completing their first degrees. As always, signups are for our events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham noted a news story recently published on Clear Admit which takes stock of the past year and looks ahead to MBA predictions for 2026. These predictions, from the Clear Admit team, include a shift in the admissions process that focuses more on areas of the process that cannot be impacted by AI, the possibility that the GRE becomes the most popular MBA admissions test, and the notion that b-schools will continue to roll out specialized masters to help young professionals get the tools needed in today's workforce. Graham also noted four MBA admissions tips, focusing on scholarship negotiations, the data forms, optional essays, and how to show an MBA program that you've done the research on their offering. Graham then noted a Real Humans piece spotlighting students from the University of St Gallen MBA in Switzerland. We then discussed two recently published Class of 2025 employment reports from Wharton and Columbia. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate appears to have an interesting background, from Colombia. However, we fear that their 309 GRE score will harm their chances at the very top MBA programs. This week's second MBA applicant is an investment banker and has a very strong background. But they have a DUI from their university days. We discussed those implications. This week's final MBA candidate has several offers from leading MBA programs. They are seriously weighing the offers between Booth (with $130K scholarship and a dual degree offer) and Harvard. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

Découvrez le destin d'Anne d'Autriche, mère du Roi Soleil, raconté par l'historienne Virginie Girod dans un récit inédit en deux parties.Anne d'Autriche descend de la lignée des Habsbourg d'Espagne.La jeune fille grandit dans l'optique de représenter son pays dans une cour étrangère, lorsqu'elle se mariera. Et justement, il est décidé qu'Anne sera mariée au premier fils d'Henri IV, le futur Louis XIII.A seulement 13 ans, la jeune fille rejoint la cour de France. Mais c'est une désillusion pour elle. Anne sent qu'elle n'a aucune influence sur son mari, et ce dernier la délaisse.Alors que le rôle principal d'une souveraine est de donner naissance à un héritier, le mariage d'Anne d'Autriche et de Louis XIII reste stérile. Au sein de la cour, manipulation et complot politique vont bon train.Malgré elle, Anne d'Autriche est victime de l'un d'eux, ce qui la fragilise grandement au sein de la cour.

A liberatory episode with special guest, Filip! Here are some highlights from our conversation:Supporting the spiritual gifts of childrenShame as a genius protective mechanism of the psycheFilip's experience growing up in Serbia / former Yugoslavia, the culture's hypermasculinization due to war creating a climate where it was very unsafe to be transThe revelation of realizing one's own internalized prejudice and starting to unpack and work with the shameInner healing intelligence; healing takes as long as it takes!Transforming traumaFinding MDMA as a fascinating medicine for ptsd, which is endemic in the BalkansIndigenous teachings around transgender topicsFilip Velimirovic (they/them) is a Serbian-born transgender non-binary healing teacher based in France. As part of their practice "Heal With Fil", they support women & people socialized as women to be mentally and emotionally fortified and transform trauma into renewed energy & hope.Filip has been an activist since they were 15. First for transitional justice & reconciliation in their native Balkans, then for drug policy reform and psychedelic science in the US & at the UN level, and more recently for community healing in the Trans / Queer community. After studying political science at a prestigious French university, they were quickly disillusioned by the potential of institutional politics to bring about a needed change.Upon finishing university, they designed their own curriculum: studying the interior world through yoga, meditation, psychotherapy, healing themselves and their female ancestral line with psychedelic-assisted therapy. In parallel to working in the cannabis, psychedelic, and tech spaces (to pay the bills), Filip worked to distill the best methods for healing & personal transformation. Using proven methods such as Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting, they now offer a safe space for folks who hold the vision of a better, more just world in their heart. Favorite conversation topics: divine feminine, healing ancestral lineages, transformation of trauma into community leadership, history of patriarchy, visions of ancestral future, Star Trek, psychedelics & homecooking recepies.Filip is guided in their practice by the following beliefs:Healing happens in community.Trans liberation = collective liberation.Our mental & physical health is a direct reflection of the state of all our relations—not only with other humans, but with our ancestors, the Earth, rivers, lands, animals, and plants.

Sam talks to Jean van de Velde about his career in the game, which began as a six-year-old in Mont-de-Marsan, in the Pyrenees in south-west France. Growing up in the era of persimmon drivers and balata balls, Jean turned professional in 1987 and went on to compete at the highest level of the game for several decades. He is perhaps best known for his performance at the 1999 Open Championship at Carnoustie, where he slept on a five-shot lead going into the final round.Jean has also been involved in the administration of the game and was instrumental in bringing The Ryder Cup to France in 2018.A huge thank you to Jean for his time on the podcast. His reputation as one of the game's great characters — and as a wonderfully honest, funny, and brilliant storyteller — remains fully intact after this epic episode.

The plan eliminated the federal tax on tips and overtime pay for linemen and factory workers, and created a new deduction for seniors relying on Social Security. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called it “the most pro-worker, pro-family legislation in a generation.”   several blue-state governors were refusing to reciprocate by eliminating state taxes on tips, including Govs. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.), J.B. Pritzker (D-Ill.), and Jared Polis (D-Colo.). Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused them of “deliberately blocking their own residents” from the bill's benefits at the state level. Bessent made clear that states that refused to comply with the law should expect consequences. “Treasury stands ready to work with any state committed to delivering on that promise, but we will not stand idly by as this obstructionism drags down the national recovery,” he said. “This is about fairness. This is about opportunity. And this is about putting America first, starting with the families and workers who make our economy the envy of the world.” Kathy Hochul has now caved. On New Year's Day, she announced that New York will finally move to exempt service workers' tips from state income taxes on up to $25,000 in tipped income.   “Starting today, tax rates for the vast majority of lower and middle-class New Yorkers will be cut, families with children will see a sweeping increase in the child tax credit, and minimum wage workers across the state will see their wages go up. I'm kicking the new year off with a proposal of no state income tax on tips, continuing my efforts to make New York more affordable for hard working New Yorkers.” The change comes only after months of outrage from restaurant owners and service workers who accused Albany of putting politics ahead of paychecks. Service industry workers noticed and called it a slap in the face to people barely scraping by in such an expensive state.   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2007496574889537687?s=20 https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2007500910277325260?s=20 https://twitter.com/TKL_Adam/status/2007468568619696559?s=20  damaged last night. On top of this, President Trump says the US will be “very much involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry going forward and China is “going to get oil.” In 2010, Venezuela was producing over 3 million barrels of oil per day, now down to ~900,000. If the US truly takes control of Venezuela’s oil industry, MUCH more supply is coming to market. Oil and gas prices would head much lower.

Bush, aimed at deposing Noriega and bringing him to face U.S. charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, and racketeering.  To pressure Noriega into surrendering, U.S. psychological operations teams blasted loud rock music—including tracks like Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle,” Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” and Van Halen’s “Panama”—at the embassy nonstop, contributing to his decision to give up.   He was immediately flown to Miami, where he stood trial, was convicted in 1992, and initially sentenced to 40 years in prison (later reduced).  After serving time in the U.S., Noriega was extradited to France in 2010 for money laundering charges, and finally to Panama in 2011 to face additional sentences for murder, corruption, and human rights abuses during his rule.   He died in Panama in 2017 while under house arrest for medical reasons.   The invasion itself involved around 25,000 U.S. troops, resulting in 23 American deaths, hundreds wounded, and estimates of 200–4,000 Panamanian civilian casualties, drawing international criticism despite achieving its primary objective. https://twitter.com/BillAckman/status/2007796748631314839?s=20 https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/2007549887098040495?s=20  https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2007518675641983427?s=20   advance. Trump Admin's Top Secret Maduro Military Operation Plans Reportedly Leaked To Legacy Media Outlets Despite an unidentified party leaking plans of the Trump administration's top secret military operation targeting Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela to both The New York Times and the Washington Post, neither publication decided to expose it, Semafor reported Saturday night. Two anonymous sources, described as familiar with the communication between the administration and media outlets, told Semafor that both outlets declined to break the news on the operation before it happened out of concern for U.S. troops involved. The military incursion, carried out early Saturday, resulted in the capture and ouster of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, whom a grand jury later indicted on four charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy. The identity of the leaker or leakers was not made public as of Sunday morning.

Under Maduro, Venezuela had become the Latin American crossroads for all of the USA’s principal enemies. Maduro was nurturing relationships with Russia, Hezbollah and Iran. Worst of all, Venezuela was eagerly becoming a part of Red China’s Belt & Road initiative. As America’s enemies were lining up Venezuela as their base of operations in the Western Hemisphere to cause mischief and destruction for the USA, Maduro was at the same time making Venezuela a crossroads, safe haven and enabler for all manner of narcoterrorist operations, ranging from Colombia’s FARC to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel. On top of all that, Venezuela had become a key player in the illegal alien invasion of the USA, shipping its very worst to the USA in a deliberate and comprehensive destabilizing operation that might have worked had Donald Trump not won in 2024. Next in importance: oil. The global and regional ambitions of both China and Russia are in large part dependent on the politics of petroleum, and the USA just deprived both of the cudgel afforded by friendly Venezuelan oil. Trump opponents say “It’s about oil” as if that was a bad thing. Yeah, it’s about oil. Finally, all of this was in keeping with the most essential and fundamental foreign policy mandate of the USA almost since the nation’s inception: the Monroe Doctrine. Operations like what Maduro was running simply cannot be allowed in the Western Hemisphere. Trump was right for falling back on this most basic of doctrines that protects the USA’s sovereignty. So was Maduro seized because of some five year-old drug charges? Yes. Legally–yes. However, like so many strategic issues in the world today, an action needed to be backed by the fine points of law, and it was. But the reality is that the Maduro takedown was a Monroe Doctrine-driven necessity that has greatly enhanced the power and national security of the USA. Congratulations, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and the rest of the Trump national security team: you boldly took the steps necessary to defend the USA. Well done. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2007597322549469370?s=20  Uh… but what about America 1st!!!!” Dominating our hemisphere is America 1st.

Faced with a fresh protest movement 16-plus years later led by street vendors, President Donald Trump has taken the opposite tact in a robust embrace of everyday Iranians that caught the attention of Tehran. If Iran “violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue,” Trump wrote in a 3 a.m. post Friday on his TruthSocial platform. “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”  The president was not more specific about his intentions, but Iranian dissidents and non-official Trump advisers cheered the statement and said it set the stage for tougher sanctions or other actions by the administration. Interesting Timing – Zelenskyy Planning to Remove Head of the Security Service of Ukraine This is very interesting timing considering the recent denial by Zelenskyy that Ukraine had anything to do with the attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence. According to Politico, Zelenskyy is removing Vasyl Malyuk as head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the state's top counterintelligence agency. Malyuk previously worked with British intelligence on operation “Spiderweb” where Ukrainian drones hit Russia's strategic bombers on several protected airfields (USA not informed).

Episode Summary:One day after the shock attack on Caracas, Nick returns with an update on the US intervention in Venezuela. With President Maduro reportedly abducted and Donald Trump promising to "run Venezuela," we delve into the grim logistics of occupying a nation larger than France.Drawing parallels with the Boer War, Vietnam, and the disastrous invasion of Iraq in 2003, Nick argues that while the US may have the firepower to win a battle, it lacks the numbers, the political will, and the institutional memory to win the peace. Has the Trump administration purged the very experts who would have warned against such a folly? And will this act of imperial hubris mark the moment American hard power finally collapses under its own weight?Key Topics:The Logistical Nightmare: Why occupying Venezuela would require hundreds of thousands of troops.Trump's "Quiet Part Out Loud": The explicit goal of seizing oil resources.Asymmetric Warfare: How drones and insurgency could bleed an occupying force dry.Institutional Memory Loss: The danger of purging the State Department and Pentagon of dissenting voices.Plus: A new announcement about Patreon!

The Steel Porcupine is an unforgettable cinematic experience that exposes Russia's campaign of extermination in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people's spirit to resist and prevail. It follows soldiers, volunteers and people who decided that survival meant resistance, not submission.Created by the makers of the acclaimed To the Zero Line, this is another film about humanity, that clearly states there is no such thing as neutrality when war crimes are being committed systematically by Russia, and on a scale in Europe only comparable to World War Two. Set to a haunting soundtrack featuring music by Philip Glass, and blending rare archival footage with original material, it is an impactful work of art and storytelling, as well as being informative.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Au milieu du XVIIᵉ siècle, alors que la France est secouée par une grave crise politique et sociale appelée la Fronde, un phénomène littéraire et politique inédit envahit Paris et les grandes villes du royaume : les mazarinades.Les mazarinades sont des pamphlets satiriques, le plus souvent anonymes, dirigés contre le cardinal Jules Mazarin, principal ministre du royaume et successeur de Richelieu. Elles apparaissent à partir de 1648, alors que le jeune Louis XIV n'a que dix ans et que le pouvoir est exercé en son nom par sa mère, Anne d'Autriche, assistée de Mazarin. Ce dernier, d'origine italienne, concentre rapidement les haines : il incarne à la fois l'impôt, l'autoritarisme royal et l'influence étrangère.Concrètement, une mazarinade est un court texte imprimé, parfois en vers, parfois en prose, souvent grossier, ironique ou violemment diffamatoire. On y ridiculise Mazarin, on l'accuse de voler l'État, de manipuler la reine, voire de comploter contre la France. Certaines prennent la forme de chansons, de dialogues imaginaires, de faux procès ou de sermons parodiques. Leur ton est mordant, populaire, et leur objectif clair : mobiliser l'opinion contre le pouvoir.Le succès est immense. On estime qu'il a été publié entre 4 000 et 6 000 mazarinades en seulement quelques années. Grâce à l'imprimerie et à la circulation rapide des textes, ces pamphlets touchent un public bien plus large que les cercles lettrés. Ils sont lus à voix haute dans les rues, dans les tavernes, parfois même à la cour. C'est l'un des premiers exemples de guerre de l'information à grande échelle en France.Les mazarinades jouent un rôle politique réel. Elles nourrissent la défiance envers le pouvoir central, soutiennent les parlementaires frondeurs ou certains princes rebelles, et participent à la politisation du peuple urbain. Pour la première fois, une large partie de la population est exposée quotidiennement à des discours politiques critiques, souvent caricaturaux, mais très efficaces émotionnellement.Ironie de l'histoire : Mazarin finit par triompher. La Fronde échoue, l'autorité royale est restaurée, et le jeune Louis XIV tirera une leçon durable de cette période : ne plus jamais laisser la contestation s'exprimer librement. La centralisation du pouvoir et le contrôle renforcé de l'information sous son règne trouvent en partie leur origine dans le traumatisme des mazarinades.En somme, les mazarinades ne sont pas de simples libelles insultants. Elles constituent un moment fondateur de la satire politique moderne, annonçant déjà les caricatures, les journaux d'opinion et, d'une certaine manière, nos polémiques médiatiques contemporaines.

Dans IDEES, Pierre-Edouard Deldique reçoit l'anthropologue de renom Philippe Descola pour un retour sur son travail de recherche à l'occasion de la parution aux éditions du Seuil de son ouvrage Politiques du faire‑monde, qui prolonge les grandes lignes de l'anthropologie de Philippe Descola. Issu des « Tanner Lectures » prononcées en 2023 à l'université de Berkeley aux États-Unis, l'ouvrage condense plus de cinquante ans de recherches, notamment auprès des Achuar d'Amazonie. Il propose une réflexion ambitieuse : comment repenser nos institutions, nos catégories et nos manières d'habiter la Terre à partir d'une anthropologie des ontologies ? Avec clarté et profondeur, Phillipe Descola revient, dans son livre et dans ce numéro d'IDEES, sur l'héritage problématique, selon lui du « siècle des Lumières », c'est-à-dire la séparation radicale entre nature et culture, véritable matrice de la modernité occidentale. Cette distinction, rappelle-t-il, n'est ni universelle ni nécessaire. Elle est un programme d'étude du monde qui a permis l'essor des sciences, mais qui a aussi rendu possible l'exploitation illimitée de la nature ou non-humains. L'un des apports majeurs de Descola est la typologie de quatre ontologies — ou filtres ontologiques — qui structurent les manières humaines de composer un monde. Elles ne sont pas des « visions du monde » abstraites : ce sont des manières de faire monde, c'est‑à‑dire de sélectionner certaines relations comme pertinentes pour composer un cosmos habitable. Il nous les détaille dans ce nouveau numéro du magazine qui interroge ceux qui pensent le monde. L'enjeu politique est clair : le naturalisme n'est qu'une ontologie parmi d'autres, et non l'horizon indépassable de l'humanité. Il s'agit de rompre avec l'idée que seuls les humains composent le politique. Les non-humains — animaux, plantes, lieux, esprits, objets techniques — doivent être reconnus comme acteurs de mondes. Philippe Descola plaide pour une diplomatie des ontologies, où les collectifs humains reconnaissent la légitimité d'autres manières d'habiter la Terre. C'est une autre façon de concevoir l'ONU du futur. Politiques du faire‑monde est un texte bref mais dense. Son ambition politique, au sens noble du terme, est affichée. Les propos clairs de Philippe Descola au micro en sont une preuve supplémentaire. Ce livre est indispensable.

Drawing on memory studies and theatrical history, Commemorative Acts: French Theatre and the Memory of the Great War (University of Toronto Press, 2025) analyses a neglected body of plays staged in France after the Great War, between 1918 and 1937, to reveal their profound impact on collective memory and cultural identity. In the aftermath of the Great War, a remarkable wave of collective commemoration emerged, but the aesthetic diversity of this period has often been overshadowed by a singular focus on the combatant experience, primarily conveyed through fiction and memoir. This selective historical narrative has fostered a homogenized memory of the war, neglecting the rich array of cultural productions that also emerged alongside it. Commemorative Acts challenges these prevailing assumptions about the memory of the Great War and its literary expression in interwar France by spotlighting theatrical works that have largely been forgotten. The book uncovers how the dominance of first-person accounts of soldiers' experiences has subtly, yet powerfully, narrowed our understanding of what the memory of the Great War can encompass. It explores how drama, structurally at odds with the first-person perspective and defined by its simultaneous modes of expression and reception, has been lost to collective memory. By examining the unique capacity of the dramatic form to capture war trauma, Commemorative Acts offers insights that differ from those of other literary genres, highlighting the theatre's potential to provide a more expansive and nuanced understanding of interwar memorial culture. Author Susan McCready is Professor of French at the University of South Alabama and the co-director for the Center for the Study of War and Memory at South Alabama; she is also the author of 2016's Staging France between the World Wars: Performance, Politics, and the Transformation of the Theatrical Canon and 2007's The Limits of Performance in the French Romantic Theatre, as well as the co-editor of Novel Stages: Drama and the Novel in Nineteenth-Century France in 2007. She has also co-edited a volume of Lingua Romana on France and Memory in the Great War, and has authored many academic articles and chapters on French theater and related topics, as well as a number of public humanities projects on war and memory.  Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama, with research concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan  France and the francophone Caribbean, with a book manuscript in progress on posthumanist ecological engagement in the surrealist movement.

En Palestine, malgré les attaques de colons à répétition, le grignotage des terres, les raids quotidiens de l'armée israélienne et Gaza dans toutes les têtes, l'espoir vient peut-être de la musique qui permet de s'évader du quotidien au fil des notes. Tel est quoi qu'il en soit l'objectif de la chorale Amwaj, un chœur d'enfants palestiniens venus de Bethléem et d'Hébron, en Cisjordanie occupée. Les 60 enfants qui le composent pratiquent la musique six heures par semaine avec des musiciens qui viennent du monde entier et participent à des masterclass. L'une d'elles a notamment été animée par une jeune cheffe d'orchestre palestinienne qui vit désormais en France venue transmettre bien plus que des techniques vocales : une confiance, une discipline, et l'idée que la musique peut encore faire rêver. De notre envoyée spéciale à Bethléem, Dans une vaste salle de béton, une chorale d'une soixantaine d'enfants venus d'Hébron et de Bethléem s'échauffe la voix en attendant l'arrivée du public. Devant eux, une rangée de musiciens : cinq violons, un violoncelle, une flûte traversière. Tous attendent une jeune violoniste et cheffe d'orchestre professionnelle, Lamar Elias, originaire de Bethléem. Mathilde Vittu a créé et cofondé le chœur Amwaj de Palestine. C'est elle qui a pensé à cette co-création : « On connaît bien Lamar Elias. Mon mari lui a enseigné le violon quand elle était enfant. Elle a grandi, elle a voulu devenir cheffe d'orchestre. Elle est partie en France réaliser son rêve et, peu à peu, elle a fait carrière. Elle a été sélectionnée pour le concours de la Maestra qui va se passer bientôt à la Philharmonie de Paris. Quand est né le chœur Amwaj, il y a dix ans, elle a été à nos côtés pour nous soutenir dans ce projet. Récemment, j'ai proposé à Lamar d'enseigner la direction à mes jeunes ». Car dans la chorale, plusieurs d'entre eux se forment pour devenir des chefs de chœur. « Avoir la transmission d'une jeune cheffe brillante qui fait déjà carrière comme Lamar Elias dans leur propre langue, en arabe, c'était une manière, pour moi, de montrer qu'on a plein de jeunes chefs en Palestine qui ne demandent qu'à être formés », explique-t-elle. La masterclass aborde tous les registres : baroque, classique, ou chansons arabes. Tous les enfants et les adolescents de la chorale Amwaj défilent un à un au pupitre. Tous veulent s'essayer à la direction. « Aujourd'hui, on répétait avec la chorale. On apprenait à se placer pour faire un orchestre, comment chanter en groupe. Quand j'ai pris la place de la cheffe, franchement, j'ai senti que la chorale était dans ma main. Je veux apprendre à faire ça quand je serai plus grande, parce que c'est quelque chose de très beau », raconte Naïf Hijazi, 11 ans, qui vient d'Hébron. En Palestine, les chefs d'orchestre sont rares. Par manque d'orchestre d'abord, alors qu'il y a un véritable besoin car des ensembles se créent et les musiciens ne manquent pas. Mais peu de chefs sont formés. Il n'y a pas de véritable cursus de direction. Lamar Elias le précise : cette masterclass était inimaginable à ses débuts dans la musique. « Je n'aurais jamais dit qu'on pouvait avoir un chœur qui chante à quatre voix à Bethléem. Ce n'est pas un manque de culture, c'est juste que ce n'est pas la même éducation. On n'a pas accès à ces moyens. On a des super musiciens mais qui ne peuvent pas vivre ici. Je suis très émue de voir cela et de former des chefs de chœur, quelle chance », se réjouit-elle avec émotion. « Ce que l'on fait, c'est dire : "Oui, il y a un futur. Il y a des jeunes Palestiniens, des musiciens, des chœurs. Il y a des gens qui jouent, qui dirigent. C'est vers ce futur que nous avons envie d'aller ensemble », abonde Mathilde Vittu.

Designer et architecte britannique, Duncan Lewis (Wallsend, 1959) débute sa carrière au Japon en 1984. Il s'installe en France en 1987 et collabore successivement avec Jacques Hondelatte, Lacaton Vassal, Edouard François de 1994 à 1997, puis crée l'agence Lewis-Potin-Lewis avant de fonder Duncan Lewis Scape Architecture à Bordeaux en en 2005 avec Brigitte Cany-Lewis. Il s'appuie sur la notion de contexte et de territoire, puisant à la source des écosystèmes. Le projet de Pont autoroutier (1993), l'Extension du groupe scolaire Buffon (1995) ou les Gîtes ruraux de Jupilles (1996) conçus avec Édouard François (1994-1999) s'inscrivent en osmose avec le paysage. De la même manière, le Lycée Jean Moulin avec Manal Rachdi, Tanguy Vermet (OFF architecture) et De Giacinto (Revin, 2012) épouse le dénivelé des collines. La Bibliothèque Universitaire Florence Delay (Bayonne, 2008), située au cœur de la ville historique, s'incruste dans les fortifications érigées par Vauban. Duncan Lewis est aussi auteur de plusieurs réalisations emblématiques (Résidence Ama Lurra, Bayonne, 2010 ; Station de tramway Hérouville Saint-Clair, Caen, 2002 ; Jardins des Géants, Lille, 2008). Qui ne connait pas La Cité Manifeste (60 logements semi-individuels) de Mulhouse où il oeuvre au début des années 2000 aux côtés d'Architectures Jean Nouvel, Shigeru Ban / Jean de Gastines, Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal, Mathieu Poitevin / Pascal Reynaud? Aujourd'hui, il travaille en groupement avec H Hans Lefevre. Parallèlement, il enseigne dans les universités et écoles de Barcelone, Londres, Versailles, actuellement Marseille.Dans ce numéro de Com d'Archi, le récit de Duncan Lewis se déroule tel une épopée : la naissance de son désir d'architecture, son expérience au Japon, la naissance puis l'affirmation de sa pratique en France, ses projets. Cet architecte a connu et travaillé avec les plus grands de l'hexagone, dont les noms s'égrènent au fil du discours, dont Jean Nouvel . Nous découvrons ici son approche de l'environnement, laquelle a toujours fait partie de son ADN. Nous partageons avec lui la volonté de ne pas "coller des étiquettes" et la mise à distance des dogmes. Un regard porté sur le monde d'une grande humanité, doublé d'humilité. Une sensibilité, une énergie et une intelligence hors du commun, montrant oh combien l'approche architecturale "en résilience" existait déjà au XXe siècle !Image teaser DR © Studio Florent LarrondeIngénierie son : Bastien Michel____Si le podcast COM D'ARCHI vous plaît n'hésitez pas :. à vous abonner pour ne pas rater les prochains épisodes,. à nous laisser des étoiles et un commentaire, :-),. à nous suivre sur Instagram @comdarchipodcast pour retrouver de belles images, toujours choisies avec soin, de manière à enrichir votre regard sur le sujet.Bonne semaine à tous!

Stuart Carroll's Enmity and Violence in Early Modern Europe (Cambridge University Press, 2023) transforms our understanding of Europe between 1500 and 1800 by exploring how ordinary people felt about their enemies and the violence it engendered. Enmity, a state or feeling of mutual opposition or hostility, became a major social problem during the transition to modernity. He examines how people used the law, and how they characterised their enmities and expressed their sense of justice or injustice. Through the examples of early modern Italy, Germany, France and England, we see when and why everyday animosities escalated and the attempts of the state to control and even exploit the violence that ensued. This book also examines the communal and religious pressures for peace, and how notions of good neighbourliness and civil order finally worked to underpin trust in the state. Ultimately, enmity is not a relic of the past; it remains one of the greatest challenges to contemporary liberal democracy.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 2 janvier 2026 avec Mariam Pirzadeh, journaliste à France 24, ancienne correspondante à Téhéran.Présentation de Salhia BrakhliaDes affrontements localisés entre manifestants et forces de l'ordre ont fait six morts jeudi dans l'ouest de l'Iran, selon des médias locaux, les premiers depuis le début dimanche d'une mobilisation initialement liée à la vie chère, qui s'est depuis élargie à des revendications politiques. Le mouvement de contestation est parti de Téhéran, où des commerçants ont fermé boutique pour protester contre l'hyperinflation et le marasme économique, avant de gagner des universités et de s'étendre à une partie du pays. Le taux d'inflation était en décembre de 52% sur un an, selon des statistiques officielles.Le président américain, Donald Trump, a affirmé vendredi que les Etats-Unis étaient "prêts" à intervenir si des manifestants étaient tués en Iran, provoquant une mise en garde de Téhéran contre un risque de "déstabilisation" de la région. "Si l'Iran tire sur des manifestants pacifiques et les tue violemment, comme à son habitude, les Etats-Unis d'Amérique viendront à leur secours", a déclaré vendredi Donald Trump sur son réseau Truth Social. "Nous sommes prêts, armés et parés à intervenir", a-t-il ajouté. Un conseiller du guide suprême iranien, Ali Larijani, a mis en garde Donald Trump contre un risque de "déstabilisation" du Moyen-Orient. "Trump devrait savoir que toute ingérence américaine dans cette affaire interne équivaudrait à déstabiliser toute la région et à nuire aux intérêts américains", a-t-il réagi aujourd'hui sur le réseau social X.Le procureur du district central de la province du Lorestan, dans l'ouest, Ali Hassanvand, a prévenu vendredi que "toute participation à des rassemblements illégaux et toute action visant à troubler l'ordre public" constituaient "des crimes" qui seraient traités "avec la plus grande fermeté par la justice". Il a insisté sur la nécessité de distinguer les manifestants défendant les moyens de subsistance et des émeutiers. "Nul ne peut commettre d'actes illégaux ni menacer la sécurité des personnes sous prétexte de problèmes économiques ou sociaux", a-t-il dit. Trente personnes accusées de "troubles à l'ordre public" ont été arrêtées à Téhéran, a indiqué jeudi soir l'agence Tasnim.Ces protestations sont-elles le signe d'un pouvoir affaibli, sous pression internationale en raison de son programme nucléaire ? Comment va réagir le régime en cas d'intensification des protestations ?

Le Grand reportage week-end de ce samedi est consacré à l'Afrique du Sud puis à la France. 30 ans après la création par Nelson Mandela de la fameuse Commission Vérité et Réconciliation, une innovation en matière de justice pour essayer de panser les plaies de l'apartheid, mais des suspects de crimes n'ont toujours pas été inquiétés... En seconde partie, nous revenons sur la situation dans les campagnes françaises où là où les médecins manquent. (Rediffusion) 30 ans plus tard, l'ombre des crimes de l'apartheid continue de planer sur l'Afrique Le 19 juillet 1995 était signée, par Nelson Mandela, la loi qui créait la Commission vérité et réconciliation. Une expérience de justice restaurative pour tenter de panser les terribles plaies de l'apartheid. Une dynamique qui a créé des émules partout dans le monde. Mais aujourd'hui, le bilan est finalement assez mitigé, car les suspects qui n'ont pas obtenu d'amnistie n'ont jamais été inquiétés par les tribunaux. Le temps n'efface pas tout et désormais, les familles des victimes veulent des réponses.  Un Grand reportage de Claire Bargelès et Vincent Hugues qui s'entretiennent avec Jacques Allix. Alerte aux soins en zones rurales La désertification médicale touche 85% du territoire français, 9 millions de personnes sont concernées. Selon le ministère de la Santé, cela devrait s'aggraver. En Lozère, département le moins peuplé de France, il n'y a qu'une maternité, et qu'un seul centre d'urgence, à l'hôpital de Mende. Les pompiers mettent en moyenne 25 minutes pour toucher au but, contre 14 minutes à l'échelle nationale. Une proposition de loi, la loi Garot chemine entre les assemblées pour essayer d'amener les professionnels de santé à tenter l'aventure.

La juriste française Sophie Lemaître publie Réduire au silence, un livre dans lequel elle décrit « comment le droit est perverti pour bâillonner médias et ONG » dans des régimes autoritaires… Mais aussi dans des démocraties comme la France. [Rediffusion de l'émission du 13 septembre 2025] Sophie Lemaître, docteure en droit, dépeint un phénomène mondial, le lawfare, qui menace gravement la liberté d'expression et l'espace civique. Si ce concept vient du domaine de la guerre, il « se transvase très bien pour tout ce qui est atteinte à la liberté de la presse, à la liberté d'expression et à la liberté d'association », explique-t-elle. Elle qualifie cette pratique d'« arme de dissuasion massive parce que le droit n'est plus à nos côtés, il est utilisé contre nous, contre la liberté d'informer et notre droit d'être informé ». Les cibles sont clairement identifiées : les journalistes et les défenseurs des droits humains. La stratégie est simple : « à partir du moment où vous travaillez sur des sujets qui dérangent des intérêts puissants, qu'ils soient politiques ou privés, on va utiliser le droit pour vous réduire au silence ». Les « poursuites bâillons » ou SLAPP (Strategic lawsuits against public participation) sont emblématiques de cette tactique. Leur objectif premier n'est pas de gagner le procès, mais d'« épuiser financièrement, émotionnellement, personnellement » la cible. Ainsi, dit-elle, « c'est la procédure qui vous étouffe ». La diffamation est la procédure la plus couramment travers le monde. Son danger réside dans le fait que « dans plein de pays, la diffamation est criminalisée. Donc, on peut avoir une une amende, mais on peut également aller en prison. » L'effet est « vraiment dissuasif. (...) Est-ce que vous allez continuer à écrire sur la corruption ou sur les atteintes dans l'environnement ? Vous allez peut-être vous poser deux fois la question avant de publier un article ou une enquête sur le sujet. » Sophoe Lemaître cite l'exemple du groupe français Bolloré qui a déposé « une vingtaine de plaintes en diffamation » dès qu'un article « pouvait déranger ». Les poursuites transfrontalières, où la plainte est déposée « non pas dans le pays dans lequel le journaliste vit mais à l'étranger », amplifient la difficulté : « Vous ne connaissez pas le pays, vous ne maîtrisez peut-être pas la langue. Clairement vous ne maîtrisez pas le système judiciaire. Donc ça va vous obliger à devoir trouver un avocat spécialisé et ça va vous coûter beaucoup plus cher. » Les États ne sont pas en reste. « Ils ont tout un arsenal disponible qu'ils peuvent utiliser contre les médias et les associations. » Les lois sur les « agents de l'étranger » en Russie, en Hongrie ou en Géorgie en sont un exemple typique. Les avocats qui défendent des journalistes deviennent eux aussi parfois des « cibles prioritaires ». Face à ces menaces, Sophie Lemaître souligne l'importance de la riposte et de l'union. Elle mentionne la « directive européenne contre les poursuites bâillons » comme un pas significatif. Pour les citoyens, l'action est cruciale : « une première chose que l'on peut faire, c'est de repartager quand vous voyez des enquêtes de journalistes, repartager leurs enquêtes. [...] alertez, parlez-en autour de vous. » Elle conclut sur le « sentiment d'urgence » qui l'a fait écrire ce livre : « On est à un point de bascule. On peut très facilement aller du côté d'une démocratie illibérale ou une autocratie. » Il est donc « essentiel de se mobiliser, de soutenir les associations, les journalistes, mais aussi les magistrats qui sont ciblés ».

And like most things involving the president, the moves aren't without their critics — including some you might not normally expect pushback from. Trump's rapid response team highlighted the two vetoes: https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2006153283996381333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2006153283996381333%7Ctwgr%5E79e6ef2350ae826bc802e9e5d82d5c97bad630de%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-issues-first-vetoes-second-term%2F The “Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act” is a bill aimed at expanding the land set aside for the Miccosukee Tribe inside Everglades National Park by officially including a section known as Osceola Camp. Trump had a couple of issues with this. The residential community in that area “was constructed in 1935, without authorization, in a low area that was raised with fill material,” Trump's explanation read. “None of the current structures in the Osceola Camp are over 50 years old, nor do they meet the other criteria to be considered for listing in the National Register of Historic Places,” Trump wrote to the House. He added that, “the Miccosukee Tribe has actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.” That appears to be a direct reference to the tribe's publicized opposition — including a lawsuit against the Trump administration — to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in Florida, as noted by The Associated Press. The “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act,” meanwhile, is a bill designed to make it easier for rural Colorado communities to complete a long‑planned water pipeline project that will facilitate drinking water to people in the Arkansas River Valley. Trump appeared to take specific issue with the price tag and repayment plans for this project. “It was originally authorized … in a bill signed by President Kennedy in 1962,” Trump said. “For decades it was unbuilt, largely because the AVC was economically unviable.” “More than $249 million has already been spent on the AVC, and total costs are estimated to be $1.3 billion,” Trump wrote. “H.R. 131 would continue the failed policies of the past by forcing Federal taxpayers to bear even more of the massive costs of a local water project — a local water project that, as initially conceived, was supposed to be paid for by the localities using it. “Enough is enough. My administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies. Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the Nation.” The bill was backed and pushed by Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert — normally a staunch supporter of Trump's — who seemed incensed with the president's veto and vowed that “this isn't over.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/EagleEdMartin/status/2006700820432130068?s=20  to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made???

Lindbergh and his allies fear these steps are a trap leading to inevitable war.

However, the venture nearly bankrupted him, and he was forced to sell his family home. But, improved economic conditions in the 1990s and a chance encounter with a travel agent in London saved the business. Rovos Rail is now regarded as one of the most luxurious trains in the world, and carries passengers all over the southern half of Africa.

//The Wire//2300Z January 1, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: MULTIPLE STATES OF UNREST CONTINUE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. MAJOR FIRE RESULTS IN MASS CASUALTIES AT SWISS NIGHTCLUB. NEW YEAR'S RIOTS STRIKE EUROPE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Switzerland: Last night a significant structure fire was reported at a New Year's celebration event hosted by a nightclub in Crans-Montana. A fire broke out at the Le Constellation nightclub, which consumed most of the facility. Approximately 40x fatalities have been reported due to the fire, along with dozens of others suffering severe burns. Most of these casualties are assessed to have resulted from the challenges in evacuating the structure.Netherlands: Overnight a major fire was reported at the historic Vondelkerk Church in Amsterdam. The fire completely destroyed most of the church, which was serving mostly as office space due to a decline in the parish population over the years.Analyst Comment: The cause of the fire has officially not been released, however local authorities have stated that the fire is under investigation, which is itself and indicator that there is something to investigate.Europe: New Year's festivities resulted in many riots around the continent. Various Moroccan enclaves in Belgium were observed rioting overnight, many of which involved parading around Brussels with weapons in the open, and generally trying to destroy things with fireworks. Actual explosives and incendiary devices were also used throughout the night in Belgium, as a few firebombings took place in Antwerp. France reported around 1,173x vehicles set on fire around the nation, and about 500x arrests were made by riot police throughout the night. Arson attacks were also reported throughout the Netherlands, with migrants attacking Dutch police vehicles with Molotovs.Middle East: The situation in Iran is deteriorating as protests continue to grow throughout the nation. Protests began in Tehran a few days ago, and have spread to several other major cities around the country.Analyst Comment: As with any crisis in the region, there is a significant amount of deception and propaganda afoot. However, based on the videos that are making it out of the country, the protests are indeed real. The point of debate is how significant these demonstrations are. The Israeli's have claimed what they always do, that the Ayatollah has fled the country in disgrace, and revolution is underway. The Iranians have likewise done what they always do as well, and not even acknowledged what's happening at all. The truth is probably somewhere between these two extremes, and only time will tell how significant these protests become over the next few weeks.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Right now it looks like the nightclub fire/explosion in Switzerland was probably not a terrorist attack, as the start of the fire was highly documented. A considerable amount of fireworks were noted at this location, many of which were being set off in a risky manner, such as the fireworks which were ignited indoors and held very close to extremely flammable soundproofing tiles. Shortly after the investigation into the fire was launched, Swiss authorities stated that they think it was an accident.Witnesses that took videos of the aftermath might also shed some light on why there was an  exceptionally high casualty count for such a small venue. Videos of the fire (which are too graphic for mixed company) confirm that many people were trapped inside the building, and unable to escape. Only one staircase served as an egress method for the basement, where the fire first began. Additionally, once the fire broke out, many people did not evacuate, either out of ignorance or inebriation. As such, many people only thought about evacuating after the fire was already consuming the entire structure, and it was impossible to u
