Podcasts about global concerns

In this episode of The Financial Guys Podcast, Glenn Wiggle and Mike Lomas tear into the crumbling mess of Bidenomics, the weaponization of DEI, and the billions funneled into woke institutions. From broken cities and failed leadership to taxpayer-funded nonsense in higher education, the hosts expose how progressive policies are eroding the American economy and moral fabric. Plus, a deep dive into immigration hypocrisy, rising costs, and why common sense is the most radical idea in politics today.(00:00:58) Global Implications of Iran's Nuclear Development(00:00:58) Iran's Ballistic Missiles and Global Relations(00:01:06) Iran's Inbreeding Issues and Israel's Defense(00:01:06) Global Concerns over Iranian Nuclear Ambitions.(00:01:06) Global Security Implications of Iran's Nuclear Program(00:02:30) Preventing Iran's Nuclear Weapon Development(00:23:27) Vaccine-Induced Long Covid Concerns(00:26:22) Selective Reporting in Anti-ICE Demonstrations

Episode #65 with Tom Fox & Malcolm Nance, plus Philip Rohlik This episode is devoted to discussing the recent executive order signed by US President Donald J. Trump instructing the Department of Justice to halt enforcement of the decades old, much-dreaded Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) pending a one-year review. In our initial “Regulatory Ramblings Spotlight” segment, we speak with Philip Rohlik, an American attorney in mainland China with the law firm Debevoise & Plimpton to get a sense of what the president's decision means for Hong Kong and the broader Asia-Pacific. Following that, we have a lengthier chat on the global implications of President's Trump's move with Tom Fox, a veteran compliance and anti-corruption lawyer, noted FCPA specialist and podcaster, as well as Malcolm Nance, a former US naval intelligence officer, counterterrorism specialist and author. About the guests. Philip Rohlik is a counsel in the Shanghai office of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP. He is a member of the firm's White Collar & Regulatory Defense and International Dispute Resolution Groups whose practice focuses on international investigations, securities law and dispute resolution. He is recognized by “The Legal 500 Asia Pacific – Greater China” (2024-2025) for his anti-corruption and compliance practice and has been described as “very thorough and hands on," and "excellent investigation lawyer". Based in Asia since 2011, Philip leads the firm's dispute resolution team in Shanghai. He joined Debevoise in 2000, having received his J.D. magna cum laude from the New York University School of Law that same year. He received a B.A. summa cum laude with honors from St. Louis University in 1997. Tom Fox is based in West Texas and a prominent member of the compliance community and one of the most well-known legal practitioners when it comes to the FCPA. Over the past 15 years, he has been a general counsel and chief compliance officer. He is now an independent consultant, assisting companies with anti-corruption, anti-bribery compliance, and international transaction issues. He is also the author of the award-winning FCPA Compliance and Ethics Blog and the international best-selling book “Lessons Learned on Compliance and Ethics.” His podcasts have won numerous w3, Davey, Communicator, and Webby awards for podcasting excellence. Tom is the author of the seminal text “The Compliance Handbook,” now in its 5th edition published by LexisNexis. In addition to his blog and podcast, he is a columnist for “Corporate Compliance Insights” and a contributing editor to the “FCPA Blog.” He is a well-known and frequent speaker on compliance and ethics issues, social media use, and corporate leadership. In the interests of full disclosure, Tom is founder of the Compliance Podcast Network which also carries this program. Malcolm Nance is based in upstate New York. He was a 20-year veteran of the US Navy where he was an intelligence officer and cryptographer, and a Russian and Arab language specialist. In his capacity as a master chief, he was responsible for discipline all throughout the ranks. He is best known for his appearances on MSNBC where he warned about Russian interference in the run up to the 2016 and 2020 US Presidential elections. Malcolm is also a best-selling author – with his books “The Plot to Hack America,” “The Plot to Destroy Democracy,” “The Plot to Betray America” and most recently “They Want to Kill Americans” – all of which are well worth reading. Given the radical actions of the second Trump administration, his two most recent books seem eerily prescient. HKU FinTech is the leading fintech research and education in Asia.

Heritage Foundation Vice President of Foreign Policy Victoria Coates and former Boris Johnson adviser Thomas Corbett-Dillion discuss the growing rightward trend happening in the EU shows that many citizens are concerned about lack of attention given to the growing dire situation of illegal immigration to their respective countries. Coates comments, but “it's also the crazy, very far left progressive climate policies that have made things so difficult for, for example, the agricultural sector, then they basically are shutting down their food and farming sectors, in the name of the environment and driving up energy prices. And I think practical people across the spectrum in Europe are saying, ‘No, we don't want this,' and you could see something similar in the United States.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's episode, we look into the recent compromise of celebrity TikTok accounts through a zero-click attack and discuss the exploited vulnerabilities. We then explore the potential security pitfalls of Microsoft's Windows Recall feature, highlighting totalrecall.py by ethical hacker Alexander Hagenah. Finally, we examine the ransomware attacks executed by the Russian-speaking Qilin group on NHS medical services in London. For more details, check out these sources: https://thehackernews.com/2024/06/celebrity-tiktok-accounts-compromised.html https://github.com/xaitax/TotalRecall https://www.group-ib.com/blog/qilin-ransomware/ https://www.google.com/search?q=why+should+people+delete+tiktok&oq=why+should+people+delete+tiktok Thanks to Jered Jones for providing the music for this episode. https://www.jeredjones.com/ Logo Design by https://www.zackgraber.com/ 00:00 Introduction 01:18 TikTok's Troubling History of Security Flaws 04:58 Exploring Microsoft's Controversial Recall Feature 07:46 Quillin Ransomware: A Deep Dive Tags: Zero-click attack, TikTok, hackers, vulnerability, ethical hacker, TotalRecall, Windows Recall, vulnerabilities, Qilin, ransomware, defend, security measures, sensitive data, critical sectors, Russian-speaking gang, NHS hospitals, cybersecurity, celebrity accounts, platform security Search Phrases: How TikTok handles zero-click attacks Vulnerabilities in TikTok security Protecting TikTok accounts from hackers Ethical hacking and TotalRecall demonstration Securing data against Windows Recall threats Defending against Qilin ransomware Russian ransomware gang Qilin explained Health sector ransomware attacks prevention Cybersecurity tips for TikTok users Windows Recall vulnerabilities and precautions https://thehackernews.com/2024/06/celebrity-tiktok-accounts-compromised.html ---`Flash Briefing: Celebrity TikTok Accounts Compromised Using Zero-Click Attack via DMs Zero-Click Attack on TikTok: Threat actors have exploited a zero-click vulnerability in TikTok, allowing them to take over high-profile accounts via direct messages without user interaction. (Source: Semafor, Forbes) Actionable Insight: Stay vigilant even if you don't interact with suspicious messages. Update your app regularly to ensure you have the latest security patches. Scope of the Compromise: TikTok has not disclosed the exact number of affected users but claims that only a "very small" number of accounts were compromised. Engagement: Ask listeners, “Have you noticed any unusual activity on your social media accounts lately? Share your experiences with us.” Response and Mitigation: TikTok has implemented preventive measures to stop the attack and is working directly with impacted users to restore account access. Actionable Insight: If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact TikTok support immediately and follow their guidance for recovery. Historical Context of TikTok Security Issues: January 2021: Check Point identified a flaw allowing attackers to build a user database with associated phone numbers. (Source: Check Point) September 2022: Microsoft found a one-click exploit in TikTok's Android app that could take over accounts via a crafted link. (Source: Microsoft) Turkey Compromise: 700,000 accounts were compromised via intercepted SMS messages. (Source: Report) Invisible Challenge: Attackers used a viral challenge to spread information-stealing malware. Global Concerns and Actions: China Ties: Concerns about TikTok's Chinese ownership have led to proposed and enacted bans in several countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia on government devices. Legal Actions: TikTok has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. challenging a proposed ban,` TotalRecall shows how easily data collected by Windows Recall can be stolen https://github.com/xaitax/TotalRecall ---`- TotalRecall Tool: Ethical hacker Alexander Hagenah developed the TotalRecall tool to highlight security vulnerabilities in Windows' newly announced Recall feature. This tool can easily extract and expose sensitive data collected by Recall. Actionable Insight: Be vigilant when using new features and tools that collect data, as they may have hidden security risks. Recall Feature Overview: Microsoft announced the Recall feature on May 20, 2024, as part of the Copilot+ line of Windows 11-powered PCs. Recall takes screen snapshots every few seconds, uses OCR to extract information, and stores this data in an unencrypted SQLite database. Actionable Insight: Encrypt sensitive data locally and regularly audit new features for potential security risks. Security Pitfalls: Security researcher Kevin Beaumont demonstrated that exfiltration of Recall databases can be automated, making it easy for malware and hackers to access the data. He criticized Microsoft for enabling Recall by default and allowing it to be reactivated without user knowledge. Actionable Insight: Immediately disable features that pose security risks and monitor for unauthorized reactivation. TotalRecall Functionality: The tool copies Recall databases, extracts information like passwords and search terms, and summarizes this data. Hagenah does not plan to update the tool further, leaving its functionality as a proof of concept. Actionable Insight: Regularly review and understand the tools being used within your system to prevent potential data breaches. Microsoft's Response: Although Microsoft has emphasized security, their implementation of Recall falls short. The feature stores data locally in an unencrypted format, making it accessible to malware and unauthorized users. Actionable Insight: Push for vendors to improve security measures and hold them accountable for defaults that put user data at risk. Upcoming Release: Recall is` ---`scheduled for release on June 18, 2024. Security professionals hope Microsoft addresses the highlighted issues before the launch. Actionable Insight: Stay updated on new releases and security patches to ensure vulnerabilities are addressed before widespread adoption. Disabling Recall: Recall is enabled by default on Copilot+ devices, but users can disable it during initial setup or via Group Policy in enterprise environments. Actionable Insight: Ensure that all team members are aware of how to disable potentially risky features and implement these changes as part of security best practices. Engagement Suggestion: "Have you ever encountered a new feature that seemed more risky than beneficial? Share your experiences with us and let's discuss how to navigate these challenges together!"` Who are Qilin, the cybercriminals thought behind the London hospitals hack? https://www.group-ib.com/blog/qilin-ransomware/ ---`Flash Briefing: Qilin Ransomware Group NHS Attack: Cybercriminal group Qilin, a Russian-speaking ransomware gang, attacked NHS medical services provider Synnovis, disrupting hospital trusts and GPs across London. If based in Russia, British law enforcement faces challenges due to Russia's non-extradition policy and lack of cooperation on cybersecurity matters post-Ukraine invasion. [Source: The Guardian] Ransomware as a Service (RaaS): Qilin operates on a RaaS model, providing tools and infrastructure to independent hackers for a cut of the ransom, typically 15-20%. They demand ransoms ranging from $50,000 to $800,000, often using spear phishing for initial network access. [Source: Group-IB] Past Attacks: Since October 2022, Qilin has attacked over 50 organizations, including Robert Bernard in France and Dialog in Australia. Notable incidents include the Big Issue publisher attack, with 500GB of data leaked after a refused ransom. [Source: Group-IB] Rust and Go Languages: Qilin leverages Rust and Go programming languages for their ransomware, making it harder to detect and analyze. This allows them to customize attacks for different operating systems like Windows and Linux. [Source: Group-IB] Double Extortion Technique: Qilin uses double extortion, encrypting data and exfiltrating sensitive information to pressure victims into paying the ransom. They have a proprietary Dark Leak Site (DLS) for publishing stolen data. [Source: Group-IB] Affiliate Management: Qilin's affiliate panel includes sections for managing targets, creating ransomware samples, and coordinating attacks. Affiliates get 80-85% of the ransom, depending on the amount. [Source: Group-IB] Security Recommendations: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Implement MFA and credential-based access solutions. Regular Backups: Conduct regular data backups. Email Protection: Use tools like Group-IB's Business Email Protection to [---]()counter phishing. Advanced Detection: Employ AI-based solutions for real-time intrusion detection. Patch Management: Regularly update and apply security patches. Employee Training: Educate employees about cybersecurity risks and phishing signs. Incident Response: Contact experts immediately if attacked; avoid paying ransoms. [Source: Group-IB] Listener Engagement: Question for Listeners: Have you ever encountered a phishing email at work? How did you handle it? Stay vigilant and keep your systems secure!`

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on China Virus Outbreak.

Tom welcomes David Haggith, publisher of "The Great Recession Blog". He started his website twelve years ago, shortly after the housing bubble. He invented the term the epocalypse, which stands for 'economic apocalypse' that will be epic in scope. You could also call it the second great depression. He says, "For the last two years I've been extremely accurate." The corona crisis brought massive amounts of money printing. The Fed can no longer print enough to support the equity markets. We're going to have plenty of economic breakdowns and damage. It's hard for people to grasp the rate of change that is occurring. Money only creates inflation where money moves, and after the lockdowns lifted, we saw inflation take off. Production inflation hit manufacturers hard, and he was proven right that inflation was not transitory. We are going to discover that the recession started in Q1 of this year. The Fed appears reliant on positive statistics, and they are in denial. The public trusts the Fed, but that trust is likely misplaced. Economists aren't questioning or challenging the Fed's outlook. The Brookings Institute recently reported that the job market is short five million positions. There has been a million excess deaths in the labor pool lately. This is the reason why the labor market is tight. Production isn't increasing due to the lack of available workers. We're now entering the period where everything is falling apart due to the system failing. The shortages are going to manifest by the late spring. Crop failures and fertilizer issues will put further pressure on food prices. He recommends you buy the stuff you regularly use in advance because it won't get cheaper. Bonds have declined the most, likely, since the great depression. There is no evidence this trend will stop, and it could be catastrophic. Credit Suisse is providing a serious example. He says, "The Fed will slam the brakes on after they've hit the tree. They can shove it in reverse, but the car will be broken, and they won't be going anywhere. It will be highly questionable if they can accomplish anything." The Fed is going to lose much credibility in the coming crisis, and this could eventually lead to hyperinflation. Lastly, he discusses the problems with gold and why his current preference is to stay in dollars. For now, dollars are relatively safe, but that could change. Investors need to remain nimble because we're in the everything bubble.

David began the Great Recession Blog back in 2007 when he realized the U.S. housing market was on the verge of collapse. He urged family to sell their homes near the peak of the market. He decided the world needed a voice that would present more insightful commentary on the economic news of the day than what had been available anywhere in the mainstream media. Furthermore, he was amazed that so few people we're able to see through the nonsense. He doesn't associate with any political party, as politics keep people focused on blaming the other side and not recognizing the flaws on theirs. He's made a number of successful market calls and forecasts for past recessions. David believes we are now entering a Second Gr...

Monday 23rd May 2022 Will a new government have any market impact? NAB's Skye Masters has been looking at how markets behaved, relatively speaking, in the first few months of a new government. Irrespective of history ,the reality is, of course, that global concerns are far greater this time round, with markets pulled between inflation concerns and recession fears. The Fed's James Bullard doesn't think a recession is the on the cards for the US and thinks inflation can be beaten by next year if they push rates fast enough this year. The UK demonstrated that, despite price pressures and very low consumer sentiment, people are still shopping. It shows the importance of data right now, as we all try to grapple with the direction of economies the world over.

The current outlook in the markets is... shaky at best. War in Europe. Inflation and political instability in the USA. On top of that, Terra (UST)  began its historic plummet—right in the middle of recording this episode. Raoul Pal of RealVision returns to Bankless to synthesize the widespread chaos in the markets, and helps us figure out how to position ourselves for these wild times. ------

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news China is essentially ignoring COP26, responding to immediate pressures - not the least of which is crowning Xi as an effective emperor.But first, it is Veterans Day in the United States and that is a Federal holiday. Equity markets are open but not their bond markets. US Government offices are closed and that means the usual flow of economic data releases there are very light.It is a break that will give the Fed policy makers time to reflect on their oft-repeated claim that the current bout of inflation will be "transitory". They first made the claim in April, suggesting that the building pressures would dissipate by Christmas. Clearly that isn't happening. Perhaps they need to change their tune. Markets sense they will.In the US it is becoming clear that this year, the 'specials' on offer for the retail events 'Black Friday' and 'Cyber Monday' aren't going to be the discounts - they are going to be that there is something to buy. The supply chain issues are seriously crimping availability.In China, Evergrande did make those late interest payments we mentioned yesterday. A German investor filed proceedings, but now they are paid that probably pushes the default risk back somewhat. But other Chinese property developers face the same pressures, the latest Kaisa.Chinese property developers' fundraising slumped at the fastest pace this year in October, even after the government urged financial institutions to meet the real estate sector's "reasonable funding needs". But their banks are providing more funds for mortgages, and that saw an uptick in residential real estate demand in October, perhaps a lifeline for those developers.It is also clear that China isn't signing up to restrictions on its use of coal, despite its 'deal' with the US at COP26. Their shortage of coal to meet current demand has global implications. Urea is a by-product and a key fertiliser in India. And other by-products include diesel ingredients used for trucking, in South Korea for example. Locally they mined 12 mln tonnes yesterday, a new daily record.New forecasts from the ECB for EU policy makers claim their economies are expected to grow at a faster +5% this year, compared to the +4.8% forecasted in July. But the Eurozone will likely expand a slower 4.3% in 2022 (vs 4.5% in the July forecast) and 2.4% in 2023.In the world of shipping, there was little change last week in the cost of shipping containers by sea. The Baltic Dry Index has also stopped falling.But the iron ore price has sunk further, however in the long perspective only back to April 2020 levels. Still it will hurt Australia, shaving AU$3 bln of tax revenues there.The Australian unemployment rate jumped way more than expected yesterday. Employment dropped by -46,000 in October when a +50,000 rise was expected. Most of the jobs lost were full-time jobs, bringing to more than -326,000 the number of jobs lost during lockdowns in NSW, Victoria and Canberra. Their jobless rate went from 4.6% to 5.2%.The UST 10yr yield opens today at 1.57% and up +2 bps since this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today up +US$8 to US$1862/oz and to a 5 month high.And oil prices are softer by about -US$1.50 and are now at just over US$79.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just over US$81.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar opens today giving up more it its recent gains and is back to 70.3 USc with more than a -½c fall. Against the Australian dollar we are unchanged at 96.3 AUc. Against the euro we are softish at 61.3 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 74.5.The bitcoin price has slipped back from its record high level and is now at US$65,135  US$68,616 and a -5.1% retreat from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has very high at just over +/-4.5%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again on Monday.

During Stewardship Month, members of St. George's share their stories of Grace & Gratitude. Our final story is from cradle Comox Valley-ite Adele Campbell.1 Corinthians 12:1-13Testimony: Adele CampbellPreacher: Rev. Ryan Slifka Adele TestimonyIt all began at Cumberland Hospital on Tuesday, November 17, 1942 (almost 78 years ago) when Dave and Hazel Campbell gave birth to Hazel Adele Campbell (that's me) with Dr. Hicks presiding who was a vivacious choir member of Cumberland United Church.My folks lived in Union Bay at the time and were very involve with the Union Bay United Church¬¬…and me? Well one of my first outings was going to Church on the Christmas Sunday, Dec. 20/42 (I remember it well! ...NOT.) and then a week later on New Years Day, I was Christened in the Church. Well as for me, what choice did I have? But to be a follower of Jesus Christ and I must admit I was not always good at it. I believe I took the prayers of my parents for granted. Anyways 10 years later we moved to Campbell River, you've got it—I went to the Campbell River United Church. Mom was choir leader and played the organ and dad sang in the Choir and was on the Board of Session and in my early teens I too sang in the choir and taught Sunday School. My first introduction to St. George's, was when our Campbell River Choir and St. George's choir joined at Easter time presenting an Easter Cantata at both churches. In 1960 I got married and 4 years later gave birth to a baby girl, Tracey. It was when I was expecting my second child Paige (a Christmas Eve baby) we moved to Saratoga Beach. A wonderful place to raise children.It was during this time that I experienced a transformation—when, in my bedroom, down on my knees in prayer, with a deep concern, I asked God to answer me by giving me the Holy Spirit and one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I will never forget that moment, it was like I had been soaked in a honey of love and then I broke out in a prayer language that continued all through the night (and is still with me) with my husband Wayne, thinking I was crazy! There were several people involved in my life at that time who helped me get to this point. It was a time when the Holy Spirit was moving up and down the island and alive in all the denominations. It was an exciting time! Also, a time when we took a United Church tour with 90% being ministers to Greece, Egypt and Israel. Among many highlights the one that stood out the most for me was reaffirming my faith by being baptized by full immersion in the Sea of Galilee. Like a computer I was rebooted and refreshed. It was a new beginning with my walk with Christ.A lot happened in the 22 years following my transformation: my husband Wayne felt called to go into the ministry and we eventually moved to Vancouver where he began his studies at Vancouver School of Theology, and I discovered I was pregnant. Through my pregnancy I took courses at Langara College with the view that I too would go into the ministry, but God had a different plan. We became involved in Ryerson United Church and ended up living in one of their houses. My husband and I lead the youth group that met on Sunday evenings in our home. After my son Samuel was born, I took some courses at Vancouver School of Theology and within that year I became ill which lasted for a few years. One never knows what road you are going to be walking on! The church, my parents, family and friends were my anchor. After some time, my husband quit his studies and left me and the three children. I began working in the office for Ryerson United Church and I also led contemporary gospel with 2 other people at the early Sunday service. When the contemporary and traditional services joined to be one service, we still led the more contemporary hymns, with a couple of guitars and then eventually drums. I was also a part of the birthing of the Single Again group which brought people from other churches or some that didn't even go to church. It was a time to learn about oneself and develop confidence of being single and enjoying fellowship with potlucks, playing badminton, etc. This included my present husband Ed, a widower at the time who lived across the street with his five children. I was eventually hired at the BC Conference office and over a course of thirteen years I worked as a support staff with Communications, Global Concerns, Native Ministries, Youth, Children's Ministry and eventually I did all of the desktop publishing. I was also chosen by the Executive Secretary of BC Conference to be the representative on the National Committee for “Confessing Our Faith.” A portion of time was spent planning various events such as the “Festival of Faith” and a Women's Conference at Ryerson. After 22 years in Vancouver, I moved back to the Comox Valley. This included Ed commuting back and forth for a few years, my mother living with me, and maintaining a bigger piece of property, so it took a little while before I got established at St. George's.Over the last 20 years I have been here, I got married to Ed, have been involved at St. George's on Council, Worship Team, Session, Drama Group, Congregational Care, Choir, Transition Team, Ministry and Personnel and the Prayer Chain. During this phase of my life I have had cancer three times. It was through my husband Ed, family members and the people of St. George's that supported me with prayer, food, and their concerns that gave me the strength to move forward. As you can see, I have a prayer shawl. This was a very meaningful gift I received by a group of ladies from St. George's who knit Prayer Shawls with prayers for healing, comfort and peace. Quite a Ministry!To have a relationship with the HOLY ONE, I can't stress enough the value of prayer and reading the Bible. It brings you closer to an intimate relationship with God. I wish I had practiced this more in my earlier years, particularly when my children were in their teens. When my mom passed away, she left me this gift, the value of prayer. I still can remember when she was living with me, I would hear her praying at night in her bedroom.I feel blessed with several of our children and grandchildren living close by and others not too far away with a brother and wife living in Parksville.God has been good to me he has been my refuge and my strength. I feel so grateful to the ministers Ryan and Ingrid and members of St. George's. I do value the treasure of community: praying, singing, working, laughing, and caring together for the glorification of God.SermonIn the 1960's, while living in Saratoga beach, alone in her bedroom, Adele told us that, she “prayed for God's Spirit.” And she prayed for God to give her one of the gifts of the Spirit. And in that moment, she was overcome by a sensation of love and began to pray in an unknown language throughout the night. This was a pivotal moment that changed her life. Set it in a whole new direction.Adele's experience shares is at least analogous to what the New Testament calls “glossolalia” or “speaking in tongues.”[i] It's a form of ecstatic speech. Energized and inspired by the Holy Spirit, a person begins to pray in an unknown or angelic language. While someone else in the community may also be inspired by the Spirit to interpret the tongues for the gathered community. Alongside wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, and the discernment of spirits, tongues are listed by the Apostle Paul in today's scripture passage as one among the Spirit's many sacred gifts.Now, no doubt that when many of us hear this kind of thing, we may react like Adele's first husband, Wayne. Thinking this person's gotta be crazy. Speaking in tongues is liable to freak us modern, scientific people out. Especially we United Church people who often pride ourselves on reasonableness. As far as Paul's list goes, we're good with wisdom and knowledge. Faith, even. Maybe we'll add accounting or serving coffee after church to the list. But we tend to go with the flow of culture, and our culture tends to dismiss or look down on out of the ordinary stuff like this. This stuff makes us a little antsy. We tend to have trouble with tongues.Believe or not, though, the early Christians had trouble with tongues, too. But it was a different kind of trouble.In today's reading the Apostle Paul was trying to settle a dispute at First Church Corinth. According to the letter, some in the community had been, like Adele, having ecstatic experiences of prayer in otherworldly languages. The problem, though, wasn't that people were speaking in tongues. After all, elsewhere Paul himself claims to have the gift. The problem is that those who did speak in tongues believed they were closer to God, more enlightened, than other people who didn't. They believed that this gift gave them more authority, more sway over the community.[ii] Like us, the Corinthians had trouble with tongues. Unlike us, though, their trouble wasn't with the gift itself. Speaking in tongues gave them a leg up on everyone else who couldn't. Causing much division.So in order to solve the tongue issue (sounds like some kind of rash or something), what Paul did was bring the community back to basics. Back to foundational stuff as church.And the first foundational thing Paul reminds them of is that all their gifts are equal. “Now there are varieties of gifts,” he says. “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord. A variety of activities, but the same God who activates all of them in everyone.” Everybody's been given a different gift, he says. And no matter the gift—whether tongues, or wisdom. Whether knowledge, accounting or serving coffee. The Spirit is democratic. Everybody's got ‘em. And there's no gift greater than another.And not only has everybody got ‘em, he says. They've got ‘em for the same purpose. “To each is given,” Paul says, “to each person is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” For the common good. Everybody's given a gift. Every single person. Not as a sign of superiority, or divine preference, but a preparation for divine service.[iii]No gift is superior to another. But each is given to each person for the common purpose of building the community of faith. The common good.Now, I don't know what each of your individual views are on speaking in tongues. Or miraculous healing. Or anything we might call supernatural. I tend to be skeptical by temperament, personally.But what I do know is that through Adele's testimony, her long experience in the United Church and my personal experience with her leadership and ministry in this congregation… through it I've come to understand something of what Paul's talking about.He says that God not only gives every single one of us some kind of spiritual gift, but that these gifts come in an incredible variety—even ones we might not understand or be entirely comfortable with. But when they're understood properly, they build up the whole church. And that's what God has used Adele and her gifts to do.I in coming to know Adele and people like her—people who God has surely used for the common good—it's made me much more open to experiences that are not my own. Experiences like Adele's have helped me understand that we have a God who draws us together as disciples of Jesus not in our similarities, but in our differences. One Lord, one Spirit, one baptism, one body of Christ. To show the world what kind of community is possible under the leadership of Jesus Christ. One where our differences aren't erased, but put towards the common purpose of making the God of Love known to a world in such need of grace.Which is a good place, I think, to end Stewardship Month. We've heard four very different testimonies from five very different people. People whose church backgrounds, faith experiences and the way they talk about them have been quite distinct.Some critics of religion might consider this an inconsistency. While some fellow Christians might see it as an inching away from clear truth. But I think we'll go with the Apostle Paul. That our diversity—spiritual, political, social, or otherwise, is more likely evidence of the community-creating, life transforming, world-changing work of the Spirit of the Living God. A cause worth committing to with everything we've got.May the Spirit continue to grant us the gifts, and the will to do so.AMEN.[i] “Paul's understanding of glossolalia is that it is Spirit-inspired utterance that is ‘talking with God' (14:2), but that without interpretation (by the glossolalist or another) is not understandable talk and does not edify others.” J. Paul Sampley, “1 Corinthians,” in The New Interpreter's Bible, vol. X, gen. ed. Leander Keck (Nashville: Abingdon, 2002), 944.[ii] “In particular [Paul] is concerned to correct the view that speaking in tongues somehow demonstrates the higher spiritual status of those who were thus graced.” Victor Paul Furnish, “First Corinthians,” in The Harper Collins Study Bible, rev. ed., gen ed. Harold W. Attridge (San Francisco: Harper Collins, 2006), 1948.[iii] “Paul joins with the Corinthians in their recognition of differences as they experience their Christian life together, appreciates the difference, accounts for them as part of the divine plan, and attempts to reintegrate differences into what he sees as God's overall purpose.” Ibid., 940.

Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, the Executive Vice President of the New York Board of Rabbis is our very special guest today.  The Rabbi will discuss how we can cope with the many challenges around the globe so we can feel safe and secure in the midst of the insanity that is all around us.

One week after Vice President Pence’s Hudson Institute speech, Paul Haenle spoke with professor Da Wei, assistant president and professor at the University of International Relations in Beijing, to understand China’s reaction to the speech and discuss what steps the U.S. and China might take to address the current tensions over trade and economics. Haenle noted that official Chinese narratives about the U.S.-China trade war have been absent Chinese reflection or discussion of what role China’s own policies have played in creating trade tensions. Haenle argued that many of the concerns on structural issues – i.e. market access, intellectual property rights, forced technology transfer, and China’s industrial policies – are of common concern by the international community. Casting these concerns only in the U.S.-China bilateral context leads to narratives in China that accuse the U.S. of seeking to contain China’s rise, rather than as shared global concerns. Da Wei stressed that as China celebrates its 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, Chinese policymakers and academics are beginning to reflect on the need for further economic reforms. However, vested interests among various Chinese stakeholders make implementing these reforms increasingly complicated. Professor Da Wei agreed with Haenle on the need for China to acknowledge the concerns of the international community, pointing toward the meeting between presidents Trump and Xi at the G20 as an opportunity to do so. At the same time, Professor Da Wei suggested that Trump could use the meeting to reassure Xi the U.S. is not seeking to contain China or block its continued development.

Interspirituality with Kurt Johnson Episode Recap Show Notes: • Early Years – Kurt discusses some of his early life events—including depression, scientific studies and much more—and how they led him to his life’s passion. • Wayne Teasdale – Kurt shares about his deep friendship with the wonderful Brother Wayne Teasdale, the impact he had on his life, and the continuing impact his work has in the world. • Interspirituality – In The Coming Interspiritual Age, Kurt writes, “Interspirituality is the natural discussion among human beings about what we are experiencing. In academic terms, it’s the intersubjective discussion among us all about who we are, why we are here, and where we are going. In the context of religion, interspirituality is the common heritage of humankind’s spiritual wisdom and the sharing of wisdom resources across traditions. In terms of our developing human consciousness, interspirituality is the movement of all these discussions toward the experience of profound interconnectedness, unity consciousness, and oneness.” Kurt and I explore what it means to be interspiritual and how it can deepen our spiritual paths. • Everyone’s A Mystic – Kurt and I explore our mutual friend Ken Wilber’s four quadrants of “I”, “We”, “It” and “It’s” and how they relate to each of us being a mystic. • Scientific Consciousness Studies – Kurt talks about scientific consciousness studies, discussing our basic experience of consciousness and “raw feeling”, quantum ideas of consciousness, and the future of unconsciousness.   Kurt's Website Kurt's Bio Kurt Johnson, Ph.D.  has worked in professional science and comparative religion for over 40 years and serves on many international committees, particularly at the United Nations.  In comparative culture and religion Kurt has been on the faculty of New York City’s One Spirit Interfaith Seminary for 12 years and is the co-author of the very influential 2013 book on the future of world religions: The Coming Interspiritual Age.
