This week- a trio of films with a brilliant Aussie actor. Edie Sedgwick is a young heiress who studied art and makes the move to New York City. Before long she finds herself a rising model in youthquake fashion and the muse of one of pop art's most enduring figures before addiction and socially ostracized lead to tragic results. The penultimate feature by George Hickenlooper with a stunning lead performance, Factory Girl. After his mother's death, J has to go live with his estranged grandmother. A woman his mother kept him far away from because she is the matriarch of a violent criminal family. When the gang's leader, Baz, is killed by police a chain of events is set off that will have long lasting and devastating consequences to J's new world. The first feature from writer-director David Michôd, Animal Kingdom. At the end of World War II a lost work by Vermeer is discovered in a Hermann Goering's hidden treasure trove. Captain Joseph Piller, who works for the Canadian military administration of the Netherlands and former resistance fighter, is tasked with tracking down whoever sold the painting. Soon he discovers Han van Meegrene and arrests him for collaboration and using the sale proceeds to fund a Nazi espionage network. van Meegrene's defense will be not just unexpected but shake up the art world for generations. The only feature directed by producer/conservationist/potential owner of a Houston Texas NHL team Dan Friedkin, The Last Vermeer. All that and Dave knows where his towel is, Craig plays puppy nurse, Tyler sees death coming, and Kevin is in the wind on the run from charity. Oh, I mean, FOR charity. Join us, won't you? Episode 414- A Guy for All Seasons
LA BIBLIOTECA DE LA HISTORIA nos abre uno de sus archivos, que nos va a acercar a: "Los Juicios de Núremberg #2. Juicio a Hermann Goering". En este nuevo programa conjunto con "HÉROES DE GUERRA 2.0" vamos a seguir hablando sobre los juicios de Nuremberg, los juicios que sirvieron para poner un punto y final al régimen nazi y juzgar todas las atrocidades cometidas por estos antes y durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Tras el primer programa en el que hicimos una introducción amplia hablando sobre la forma de celebrar esos juicios, con todas aquellas polémicas que han rodeado a estos procesos, y después de hablar de juicio al almirante de la Kriegmarine y Führer tras la muerte de Hitler, Karl Doenitz, hoy hablarnos del que quizás fue el juicio al personaje más relevante de los que sentaron en el banquillo de los acusados, Hermann Goering. Y para hablar de este tema tenemos con nosotros al escritor y divulgador militar, José Antonio Márquez. Sin más preámbulos os dejo con el programa. Espero que os guste. -Enlace al podcast HÉROES DE GUERRA 2.0: https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-heroes-guerra_sq_f1256035_1.html -Enlace a los libros de José Antonio Márquez Periano en amazon: https://www.amazon.es/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3AJose+A.+Marquez+Periano&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1 -Twitter de José Antonio Márquez Periano: @Heroesdeguerra -Blog de José Antonio Márquez Periano: http://heroesdeguerra.blogspot.com/ Este es un Podcast producido y dirigido por Gerión de Contestania, miembro del grupo "Divulgadores de la Historia".

We start this week with Hitler announcing that there would be no more surprises, though we immediately question whether his word could always be wholly trusted. We go on to look at the way Hitler was building a regime which didn't just want war, above all against what he saw as a Jewish-Bolshevik menace, but actually needed it as the only way to obtain basic products for the German population, and raw materials that the military machine itself had to have. Meanwhile, British foreign policy was under new management, with Anthony Eden as Foreign Secretary in place of the disgraced Samuel Hoare. The Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, told him he wanted better relations with Germany and when Eden asked how he was to obtain them, he told him that it was Eden's job to work that out. But then Baldwin stood down, and his successor, Neville Chamberlain, had a different approach. He wanted to run foreign affairs himself, and he was intent on going flat out for appeasement. That finally brought the Prime Minister and his Foreign Secretary into a head-on clash, over concessions to Italy, in the hope of securing Mussolini's assistance. Chamberlain was prepared to recognise that Italy had the right to invade and occupy Abyssinia (Ethiopia today), even though that was a breach of international law. Eden was in favour of appeasement, but not at the cost of unreasonable concessions, and this one he decided really wasn't reasonable. Eden went. His replacement was Lord Halifax. He'd recently been on a hunting trip to Germany as the guest of Hermann Goering, and came back convinced that the Nazi leaders were reasonable men with whom a sensible set of arrangements could be negotiated. Then Hitler showed that the age of surprises really wasn't over. He sent troops over the border into neighbouring Austria, to absorb it into the German Reich. There was no resistance in the country, and none from outside either, including from Britain. European great powers didn't greatly rate the rights of Africa's native peoples. Writing off the rights of the Abyssinians therefore was no great shock. But this was Austria, a European country, and Hitler invaded and annexed it without the slightest attempt to stop him from abroad. It seemed that appeasers were prepared to step across some red lines in their bid to buy peace through concessions to dictators.

The late 1930s were a rough time in Europe. Nazis were on the rise, and museums began hiding their most treasured works or even shipping them off to safe locations. As all of these works were floating around in the art world and many pieces being hidden, Hans van Meegeren emerged as an art dealer with some lost Vermeers. As I explained in the previous episode about the Vermeer stolen from the Isabella Steward Gardner museum, there aren't a lot of Vermeer paintings and much of his biography is unknown. There are some historians who believe Vermeer studied under an artist who was heavily influenced by Caravaggio. Van Meegeren was celebrated for bringing the world the gift of these lost Caravaggio influenced Vermeer paintings. The critics loved the paintings and they loved Van Meegeren for discovering these lost works. He sold them for huge amounts and over just a few years amassed a fortune of about $30 million in today's money. The thing is Van Meegeren would sell to anyone with money, including the Nazis. Hermann Goering, Hitler's vice chancellor was an art lover. He particularly loved the Vermeer painting he got from Van Meegeren. In the 1940s, the allies came knocking to ask why Han van Meegeren was doing business with the Nazis. Now whatever they expected to hear as his response, I guarantee they were surprised. Van Meegeren declared that he deserved to be treated as a hero for his dealings with the Nazis because all of the works he sold them were fakes. He claimed that by selling and trading these forgeries he was able to get 137 authentic Dutch masterpieces from the Nazis. It was an interesting defense, that he was not a war criminal but simply forger. It would be hard for anyone to feel sympathy for the victims of this crime but most found it too hard to believe.

El testimonio de un juicio inédito destapa nuevos detalles sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el funcionamiento interno de la máquina de guerra Nazi. Escucha las verdaderas voces de los criminales que apoyaron a Hitler, como Hermann Goering, Wilhelm Keitel, Albert Speer y Rudolf Hess, así como a las víctimas y a los testigos que valientemente testificaron en su contra.
La segunda guerra mundial fue uno de los eventos más trágicos de la historia de nuestra civilización. Se estima que murieron entre 70 y 80 millones de personas. Adolf Hitler, puso el planeta en jaque. Pero una sola persona no puede cambiar el mundo. Hitler estuvo rodeado de un sinfín de colaboradores. Entre todos ellos, tal vez el más importante fuera su segundo al mando y sucesor: Hermann Goering. Goering sobrevivió a la segunda guerra mundial y fue capturado por el bando aliado para ser juzgado por sus crímenes. Durante casi un año y medio, Goering estuvo encerrado en una celda aguardando su juicio. Durante todo este tiempo recibió visitas de un psiquiatra, Douglas M. Kelley. Hoy tenemos acceso a las notas e informes que escribió el psiquiatra durante estas sesiones. En el episodio de hoy del podcast XYZ vamos a acercarnos al final de la segunda guerra mundial y vamos a conocer la personalidad, los miedos y los deseos de un Hermann Goering a punto de ser juzgado por la historia. Además, lo vamos a hacer a través de los ojos del que fue su psiquiatra, un hombre que se enfrentó solo a una de las mentes más despiadadas del régimen nazi, en una minúscula celda y que se asomó a una verdad que le cambió para siempre. ¿Te interesa?

Episode #2 of this Nuremberg Trial mini-series examines the prosecution cases against the Nazi defendants. After being formally charged for Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes, the American, British and French delegations introduced evidence to the proceedings and call their first witnesses to the stand. Would they disavow Hitler or remain steadfast in their allegiance to Nazism? The evidence submitted to the IMT included the first revealed videos of the Holocaust (as referenced in the podcast). The brutal crimes of Hermann Goering, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Alfred Jodl, and Albert Speer would be laid bare for the world to witness. Additionally, the opening speeches of the French and British delegations would be presented to the courtroom.

On 30th September 1946, the Judges announce their verdicts. And the sentences to be imposed – death or imprisonment or freedom. But come the night of the executions, Hermann Goering has one last surprise. And now it's time for the verdicts: 11 will be hanged, 7 are given prison sentences and 3 are set free. Everyone is surprised by the acquittals and at a hasty press conference, the free men trade autographs for chocolate (but are re-arrested by German authorities as soon as they leave the building). Meanwhile Sergeant Woods, the US Army's hangman, is on site, building the gallows. The night comes but Goering has managed to hide one last cyanide capsule to evade the noose. Starring Nicholas Woodeson as Sir Geoffrey Lawrence and featuring Nathan Wiley as Master Sergeant Woods, the US Army's executioner.

March 1946 and it's time to hear the Defence Case. Goering is first into the witness box but he seems unashamed, proud of what the Nazis achieved. His duel with the prosecutors begins and they have to outwit him, have to find a way to demolish his attempt at martyrdom. Once in the witness box, Hermann Goering, unlike the other defendants, doesn't pretend to be ignorant of what went on or claim that his signature was faked. He is proud of what the Nazi Regime achieved for Germany and intends to go down in a blaze of Wagnerian martyrdom. This wrong-foots Jackson during his cross-examination but when Maxwell-Fyfe takes over, he forces Goering to admit to the shabby, gangsterism of the Nazi machine. Starring Nigel Lindsay as Hermann Goering and Forbes Masson as Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe.

It's May 1945 and Germany has just surrendered. The country is in chaos – a million former soldiers, three million foreign nationals, another million liberated from the concentration camps, all trying to get home. And hiding somewhere, in all that, hoping to slip away, are the top Nazis. Top of the list to be tracked down and arrested are Joachim von Ribbentrop (Hitler's Foreign Minister), Ernst Kaltenbrunner (Himmler's Deputy), Hans Frank (Governor of Occupied Poland) and maybe even Martin Bormann (Hitler's closest aide). Once caught, they are corralled in a stripped-out hotel in Luxembourg. But former Reichsmarschall Goering doesn't have to be found: he surrenders himself along with 16 monogrammed suitcases, varnished nails and a valet. Starring Elliot Cowan as Sergeant Monelli, US Army Sergeant and Nigel Lindsay as Hermann Goering, one-time head of the Luftwaffe.

El segundo episodio cuenta la historia del juicio de Hermann Goering, el carismático y despiadado segundo al mando de Hitler, y cómo se convirtió en una batalla por su legado con el pueblo alemán. En el juicio por su vida en Nuremberg, el impenitente Mariscal del Reich cambió las mesas a los Aliados. Tanto es así que el juez principal, el juez Robert Jackson, comenzó a desear que los Aliados hubieran seguido la sugerencia de Churchill y le dispararan a los principales nazis. Este drama documental rastrea la historia tras bambalinas del intento de Goering de volver a encender el nazismo desde la sala de audiencias y revela el papel que jugó el psicólogo judío Gustave Gilbert en la derrota final de Goering. Condenado a muerte se suicidó con cianuro la víspera de su ejecución
El episodio uno se enfoca en el nazi Albert Speer, quien utilizó su carisma para, según algunos, para engañar a la corte y conseguir una sentencia más leve de la que realmente merecía. Nathaniel Parker interpreta al nazi más inescrutable en un juicio en Nuremberg, el arquitecto de Hitler y el ministro de armamentos Albert Speer. Fue el único acusado que aceptó sin reservas la responsabilidad de los crímenes de los nazis. Pero, ¿era el remordimiento de Speer genuino o simplemente una estrategia de defensa inteligente? La película cuenta la intrigante historia detrás de las escenas del juicio de Speer y su enfrentamiento con el rival impenitente, Hermann Goering.
In Part 7 of our Crime Story Series Nuremberg, we examine the U.K. prosecutors' tightly-focused presentation of Count Two of the indictment, particularly as it played in contrast to the Americans' unapologetic power-grab.
‘Our Lady of Kazan', a painting of the Virgin and Child, was discovered in the ashes of a fire in the Russian town of Kazan on 8th July, 1579. The icon quickly became associated with miracles after two blind men were said to have their sight restored by standing in front of it.The original was stolen in 1904, but the copies still represent one of Russia's most important pieces of religious art - credited by some with thwarting Napoleon's invasion of 1812.In this episode, Rebecca, Arion and Olly interrogate the reportage that continues to promote the ‘miracles' performed by the painting; reveal Hermann Goering's role in the fascinating 20th century history of the work; and recall a religious image of squirting milk that, once seen, cannot be unseen...Further Reading:• ‘Roman Catholic Saints' profiles Our Lady of Kazan (2011): https://www.roman-catholic-saints.com/our-lady-of-kazan.html• ‘The Miracle Behind One of St Petersburg's Most Famous Landmarks' (Russian National Tourist Office): https://www.visitrussia.org.uk/blog/the-miracle-behind-one-of-st-petersburgs-most-famous-landmarks/• The Associated Press records the day the icon was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church by the Pope (2004): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIVLYmmHrOEFor bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/RetrospectorsWe'll be back tomorrow!

In Part 6 of our Crime Story Series Nuremberg, we examine Robert Jackson's gambit to make the centerpiece of the International Military Tribunal charging the individual Nazi leaders not as legitimate government officials but as conspiring gangsters.
Quando os nazistas chegaram ao poder, a política em relação aos maçons era ambígua. Os esforços para eliminar os maçons não receberam prioridade máxima. As lojas que defendiam a tolerância e a igualdade e tinham conexões internacionais por meio de seus líderes com os social-democratas ou democratas liberais estavam sujeitas à perseguição e freqüentemente pressionadas para a dissolução "voluntária". Algumas lojas alemãs conservadoras que estavam dispostas a se acomodar ao regime foram capazes de continuar com alguma forma de existência por apenas um pouco mais de tempo. No entanto, o regime pretendia excluir aqueles que se recusassem a desistir de suas conexões maçônicas. No início de 1934, o chefe do Sistema de Tribunais do Partido Nazista determinou que os maçons que não deixassem suas lojas antes de 30 de janeiro de 1933 não poderiam se filiar ao Partido Nazista. No mesmo mês, o Ministro do Interior da Prússia, Hermann Goering, emitiu um decreto pedindo às lojas que se dissolvessem “voluntariamente”, mas exigindo que tais ações voluntárias fossem submetidas a ele para aprovação. Além disso, as lojas e suas filiais em várias cidades da Alemanha foram expostas à violência arbitrária das unidades SS e SA locais, embora esse terror não pareça ter sido dirigido de forma centralizada A pressão crescente nos setores público e profissional forçou os indivíduos a escolher entre permanecer em suas lojas ou limitar suas oportunidades de carreira. Muitos ex-membros da loja que ocupavam cargos no serviço público foram forçados ou perseguidos a se aposentar. Em maio de 1934, o Ministério da Defesa proibiu a adesão em lojas a todo o pessoal - soldados e funcionários civis. Durante o verão de 1934, depois que Heinrich Himmler e Reinhard Heydrich completaram sua aquisição e centralização da Gestapo, a polícia alemã fechou à força muitas lojas maçônicas e sedes dos maçons e confiscou seus bens, incluindo suas bibliotecas e arquivos. Em 28 de outubro de 1934, o Ministro do Interior do Reich, Wilhelm Frick, emitiu um decreto definindo as lojas como “hostis ao estado” e, portanto, sujeitas ao confisco de seus bens. Finalmente, em 17 de agosto de 1935, citando a autoridade do --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/malhete-podcast/message

El cuartel más lujosa de Adolf Hitler estaba ubicada en Berchtesgaden en los Alpes de Salzburgo. En los años 1936-1945 también fue su hogar, un lugar donde pasó un total de 387 días. A raíz de Hitler, otras figuras destacadas del Tercer Reich también llegaron a esta región. Hermann Goering, Martin Bormann y Albert Speer construyeron sus villas lo más cerca posible del Berghof. Las historias de Berchtesgaden describen uno de los mecanismos de propaganda más eficaces. A través de los ojos de Eva Braun, se puede ver la vida aparentemente idílica de Hitler y sus invitados en una residencia alpina. Era el único cuartel general de Hitler al que tenían acceso los hijos de sus asociados. El "tío Hitler" los invitaba con los brazos abiertos y pasó tardes soleadas con ellos en medio de la diversión.

En este Episodio: Pedro David Santiago "El Cribador" te habla sobre: Parte I Demandarán a USA por crímenes de guerras en Irak y el uso del (DU) Uranio Reducido, que ha aumentando el Cáncer y otras enfermedades en un 4,000%, o sea 40 veces más que en el 1991. Es evidencia de que más importante que ganar guerras, lo importante para los arios psicópatas es disgenizar las demás razas para hacer cumplir su “teoría” darwinista y galtoniana de que las demás razas son inferiores y enfermizas. El apoyo de este y todos sus genocidios es complicidad criminal, anticristiana e inhumana. Los científicos infalibles de los medios son seguidores de Alister Crowley mago negro, y malthusianos racistas. Los que se jactan de ser científicos y pro naturaleza no son un una cosa ni lo otro de facto. El sistema inmune utiliza la memoria e información genética para enfrentar y liquidar a los que vengan con las mismas características destructiva del pasado, cosa que debe ser el papel de los seres humanos que defiendan a Gea y la Humanidad con la memoria de la Historia para reconocer nuestros enemigos disfrazados del pasado. El que no comprenda la historia, caerá de nuevo en la trampa aunque la conozca. La batalla real es: Ciencia Humanista vs Transhumanista. Los Toribioficialistas. Esta situación hay que verla multidisciplinariamente, no solo biológicamente, y menos en el mercado de las buenas intenciones que ocultan la verdadera intención. La media verdad de la alegada panacea de la vacuna del sarampión. La verdad de lo que sucedió según los datos. La vacunación a militares de la primera Guerra del Golfo, (1991). Nos mienten desde la mal llamada gripe “española”. Parte II ¿Cargos por genocidio contra el presidente de la OMS? La OMS admite los falsos positivos ahora. ¿Bajaran entonces los alegados casos de contagios por COVID por causa de las vacunas “efectivas” o por la corrección de datos de los falsos positivos? Hermann Goering declara cómo esclavizar a la gente educada y tolerante para convertirlas en monstruos genocidas? El virus real es el fascismo internacional. La guerra biológica es más efectiva que la nuclear, de ese mensaje de la elite se ha encargado Bill Gates para cumplirlo y con ello la reducción poblacional Malthusiana.

1930 saw the quiet conclusion of a remarkable era. The tiny population of St. Kilda, an isolated Scottish archipelago, decided to end their thousand-year tenure as the most remote community in Britain and move to the mainland. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the remarkable life they'd shared on the island and the reasons they chose to leave. We'll also track a stork to Sudan and puzzle over the uses of tea trays. Intro: Reportedly the 3rd Earl of Darnley believed he was a teapot.

This supplemental episode examines the post-World War II trials in Nuremberg, Germany, during 1946, where US Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson led the prosecution against prominent Nazi leaders such as Hermann Goering & Albert Speer. Some of the USA’s WWII allies had recommended executing or imprisoning these infamous figures without trial, but the Americans believed that it was important for them to get a fair trial that would publicly prove their guilt & expose their crimes. Dozens of high-ranking Nazi officials were charged with & convicted of waging aggressive war, violating laws of war, & engaging in atrocities against civilians (including the Holocaust). This podcast also gives an overview of the similar war crimes trials held in Tokyo that tried the Imperial Japanese military leaders. It concludes with a discussion of how the US federal government has given fewer legal rights to enemy suspects (such as suspected terrorists) during the 2000s than it did for Axis leaders during the 1940s.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/boomertomillennial/posts)

It's been a minute, but we're back with more steamy dream action. This week, we ask truly important questions like: Is there a heaven for Ian Beales? What if the cast of the Inbetweeners were beaten into paste by the Beast King? And, perhaps most importantly of all, what if Hermann Goering was a polyglot?
Camille Pissarro was an Impressionist painter who created this sun-drenched view of a famous park in 1900. We'll find out where this lovely scene takes place and how and why just 5 small strokes of color can conjure up a fashionista. We'll also discover its connection to Hermann Goering and how a Gallery director was instrumental in the formation of the Monuments Men program.

Join host, Greg Carlwood, of The Higherside Chats podcast as he welcomes returning guest, Joseph Farrell, to talk the Rudolf Hess Mess, Nazi Secrets, & Antarctica. It's clear by now the elite have spent an immense amount of resources covering their tracks and keeping us in the dark. From redacted documents classified for decades and missing files to official investigations that are clearly cover ups and of course a smattering of mysterious deaths and lifetime imprisonments, it is clear to see whatever lies behind he curtain could be enough to topple to the cabal. Fortunately, this institutional secrecy aimed at muddying the waters and dampening the efforts of researchers hasn't stopped the spirit of today's returning guest, Dr. Joseph Farrell. Dr. Farrell, the man behind "GizaDeathStar", is an author of many great books, and today he joins The Higherside hot off the heels of his newest book, "Hess and the Penguins", to discuss the strange and mysterious case of Rudolf Hess, the Holocaust and Antarctica. 3:00 With such a complex web consisting of everything from Antarctic explorations to secret coups, Greg and Joseph begin unpacking this saga by discussing Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess, and his post-war imprisonment. Joseph describes the joint international effort to support a solitary prison for Hess until his death in 1987, the dismissal of tense diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and United States, and the motives behind the incredible amount of resources used in 21 years to maintain Spandau Prison for only one man. Dr.Farrell also breaks down the suspicious circumstances surrounding Hess' death in Spandau Prison. 13:42 After covering the "Hess Mess", Greg and Joseph back up a bit and talk about Hess and his pre-prison life. From being Hitler's highest ranking officer and right hand man, to his deep fascination in the Occult and membership in the Thule Society, Hess truly was a multi-lingual, cosmopolitan Nazi and accomplished intellectual. 21:42 Returning to the big picture, Greg and Joseph discuss one of the most pivotal moments in Hess' saga, his infamous flight to Scotland. Dr.Farrell breaks down the evidence behind claims that during this trip, Hess was subjected to a drug-induced mind control program. He also dispels the myth that Hess was switched with a body double during this Scotland trip. Joseph goes on to detail the evidence supporting the idea Hess may have been substituted for a double during his capture by the British, instead. From the hand written letter, given to Abdallah Melaouhi, to Allen Dulles' suspicions that the man he met in Nuremberg was not Hess, all indications point to a bait and switch. 32:00 Greg and Joseph discuss the attempted double coup behind the scenes of WWII, involving certain British and German factions, the multiple attempts by Hermann Goering and Rudolph Hess to establish peace, and the role of Antarctica in all of this. 42:00 Focusing on Hermann Goering and his subordinate Helmuth Wohlthat, Greg and Dr.Farrell discuss their involvement with Nazi interests in Antarctica, their collusion with British elites to restore peace and overthrow Hitler's regime, and the evidence suggesting Goering's support for Hess' coup d'etat.

Hermann Goering initiates “final solution” plan for Europe’s “Jewish question.” Under Nazi control, the Jews of Europe suffered increasing hardship. Many were enslaved and killed, but Hitler’s ultimate plan was to eliminate them altogether. On July 31, 1941, Hitler’s No. 2 man, Herman Goering, instructed Reinhard Heydrich, second in importance to Heinrich Himmler in the Nazi SS and known as "The Blond Beast" or "Hangman Heydrich”, to create and carry out a plan to do so. He called it the “final solution” of the “Jewish question” in the German sphere of influence in Europe. German ministries cooperated fully, uprooting and deporting Jews to extermination camps in the east. Before the war ended, the Germans had exterminated at least 13 million people. Of those, approximately six million were Jews, which was approximately 65% of Europe’s Jewish population at the time. Of those six million Jews, about 1.5 million were children.

"The Good Goering" is part documentary, fictional acts and it explores the lesser known brother of Hermann Goering, Albert. Unlike his brother, Albert worked against the Nazi and did all he could to save people persecuted by them. This powerful documentary sheds light on an unsung here.
¿Quiénes era los hermanos Goering? ¿Por qué simbolizan la noche y el día? Albert y Hermann Goering, hombre bueno, hombre malo; fueron dos hermanos completamente opuestos. No podían ser más diferentes. Hermann Goering fue un político y militar alemán, un oficial nazi que llegó a convertirse en el número dos en el Tercer Reich. Albert, el hermano más joven, salvó a innumerables personas de la máquina de exterminio nazi, falsificando papeles y apoyando la financiación de los grupos de resistencia, y ha sido injustamente olvidado en la actualidad.

En el programa de esta semana veremos como se conocieron todos los jerarcas del Partido Nazi y consiguieron que un partido residual de Munich se convirtiese en 1932 en la mayor fuerza política del país. ¿Cómo es posible que un simple cabo de la I Guerra Mundial llegue a cotas tan altas?¿Cómo un partido dirigido a los obreros pudo convencer también a las élites comerciales del país?¿Cómo pudo ganar la batalla en las calles a las fuerzas comunistas?¿Cómo consiguió una campaña comercial tan imponente? Adolf Hitler consiguió todo esto con el apoyo de sus camaradas: Alfred Rosenberg, Ernst Röhm, Rudolf Hess, Hermann Goering, Erich Ludendorff, Heinrich Himmler y Joseph Goebbels. Acompañanos en este viaje por la historia.

Como no era posible juzgar a Hitler por crímenes contra la humanidad, los fiscales de Nuremberg se concentraron en la segunda mejor opción, su lugarteniente, Hermann Goering. Goering había fundado la Gestapo y comandado la Luftwaffe. Había sido quien pidió a Heydrich, en una carta firmada, que encontrara una “solución final al problema judío”. Goering era inmensamente vanidoso. Poseía castillos y saqueaba obras de arte y trofeos de caza. Para celebrar el nacimiento de su hija, sobrevoló Berlín con 500 aviones y aseguraba que si hubiese sido un varón, hubiera utilizado mil. Estaba muy cerca de la cúpula central del Tercer Reich y tuvo una participación muy activa en el exterminio de los judíos y en la creación de la “Lebensraum”. Asombrosamente, el primer grupo en capturar a Goering pertenecía a la SS. Hitler les había dado orden expresa de asesinarlo. Esto se debía a que Goering había tenido la osadía de sugerirle a Hitler que cuando éste estuviera incapacitado, él mismo debería asumir el control del Reich. Sin embargo, la SS no lo mató sino que lo trasladó hacia Bavaria desde donde intentó escapar. Los norteamericanos se hicieron cargo del caso y después de una persecución de dos semanas, finalmente lograron atraparlo. La vanidad de Goering lo hacía destacar. En 1945 se embarcó en un tren cargado de tesoros expropiados en Berchtesgaden, Bavaria. La mayor de las batallas tuvo lugar en el juzgado de Nuremberg, en donde increíblemente Goering rebatió los argumentos mostrando inconsistencias en las pruebas de los aliados y utilizando el humor para perjudicar a sus perseguidores. Fue sentenciado a muerte pero el día anterior a la ejecución se las ingenió para suicidarse con cianuro. Cómo logró conseguir el veneno sigue siendo un misterio, aunque se han elaborado numerosas teorías. Para entonces, su viuda, Emmy, continuaba viviendo en un pequeño apartamento de Berlín. Un tribunal le confiscó el 30 por ciento de sus propiedades y falleció en 1973. Goering sigue siendo el principal ejemplo de todo aquello que los aliados hubieran podido hacer en el caso de haber llevado a los nazis a la justicia, ya que éstos hubieran terminado desacreditados y desamparados. Sin embargo, el proceso fue tan elaborado, demoró tanto tiempo y demandó tanto dinero que, tal y como demostró Goering, terminó resultando incierto. El asesinato resultaba más rápido y sencillo. El problema con éste era que, en retrospectiva, comprometía moralmente a los cazadores.

Hitlers favoriete koeienIn de Oostvaardersplassen lopen wilde Heckrunderen. Het zijn de nazaten van een kudde die ooit begin vorige eeuw is gefokt met de bedoeling het oerrund (uitgestorven sinds 1627) terug te krijgen. Een project van de broers Heinz en Luts Heck, beide dierentuindirecteur. Luts was vriend en werd vanaf begin jaren 30 gefinancierd door Hermann Goering. Voor de Nazi’s fokte Heck Germaanse oerkoeien die in veroverde Poolse wildernis de plaatselijke bevolking moesten vervangen. De Heckrunderen zijn begin jaren tachtig naar Nederland gehaald om te dienen als grote wilde grazers. Nu is er een opnieuw project om de oeros terug te fokken om natuurgebieden in heel Europa te bevolken.

Is there anything better than the story of a master forger? If there is, I don't know it. This time we take a trip to the realm of non-fiction, looking into the complex world of Han Van Meegeren, a forger working in the style of Frans Hals and, especially, Johannes Vermeer, who sold his work to Hermann Goering, then tried to convince the world it was in the name of patriotism.
The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, Talk Radio for Fine Minds will travel from Hollywood, USA to Nuremberg, Germany to bring you two stories of World War II only recently uncovered.Joining the show is author Tim Townsend whose new book Mission at Nuremberg, An American Army Chaplain and the Trial of the Nazis tells the controversial and thought-provoking story of Army Chaplain Henry F. Gerecke. At the end of World War II, Gerecke was recruited for the most difficult job of his life: ministering to twenty-one prominent Nazi leaders awaiting trial at Nuremberg, including Hermann Goering, a chief architect of Hitler's “Final Solution” and Joachim von Ribbentrop, Foreign Minister of Nazi Germany. Townsend, a former religion reporter at the St. Louis Dispatch, holds master's degrees from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and Yale Divinity School. In Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War, Mark Harris brings us the untold story of the extraordinary wartime experiences of five of Hollywood's greatest and most legendary directors, all of whom put their stamp on World War II, and were changed forever by their experience.

Is there anything better than the story of a master forger? If there is, I don't know it. This time we take a trip to the realm of non-fiction, looking into the complex world of Han Van Meegeren, a forger working in the style of Frans Hals and, especially, Johannes Vermeer, who sold his work to Hermann Goering, then tried to convince the world it was in the name of patriotism.
In 1945, after his capture at the end of the Second World War, Hermann Göring arrived at an American-run detention center in war-torn Luxembourg, accompanied by sixteen suitcases and a red hatbox. The suitcases contained all manner of paraphernalia: medals, gems, two cigar cutters, silk underwear, a hot water bottle, and the equivalent of $1 million in cash. Hidden in a coffee can, a set of brass vials housed glass capsules containing a clear liquid and a white precipitate: potassium cyanide. Joining Göring in the detention center were the elite of the captured Nazi regime—Grand Admiral Dönitz; armed forces commander Wilhelm Keitel and his deputy Alfred Jodl; the mentally unstable Robert Ley; the suicidal Hans Frank; the ographic propagandist Julius Streicher—fifty-two senior Nazis in all, of whom the dominant figure was Göring.To ensure that the villainous captives were fit for trial at Nuremberg, the US army sent an ambitious army psychiatrist, Captain Douglas M. Kelley, to supervise their mental well-being during their detention. Kelley realized he was being offered the professional opportunity of a lifetime: to discover a distinguishing trait among these arch-criminals that would mark them as psychologically different from the rest of humanity. So began a remarkable relationship between Kelley and his captors, told here for the first time with unique access to Kelley’s long-hidden papers and medical records.Kelley’s was a hazardous quest, dangerous because against all his expectations he began to appreciate and understand some of the Nazi captives, none more so than the former Reichsmarshall, Hermann Göring. Evil had its charms. THE NAZI AND THE PSYCHIATRIST-Jack El-Hai

Divine and Supernatural Light When Jesus was with his disciples in Caesarea of Philippi, he was on somewhat of a retreat with them and spending some time in the midst of his busy controversial and difficult ministry, he went on retreat with them up to the northern cooler regions and he was up in the mountains there, and he was sitting with them and having a discussion with them. And he asked them, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" Son of Man was Jesus' name for himself. "Who do people say that I am?" And they answered, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah; and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "But what about you," he asked, "Who do you say that I am?" I always imagine a dramatic pause at that point as I read the account. And Simon Peter speaking for us all said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And then Jesus said something very important when it comes to understanding salvation. He said, "Blessed are you Simon, son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man but by my Father in heaven." No one is saved from their sins apart from that supernatural revelation of Christ. A divine and supernatural light, revealed directly to the heart of the individual center is the essence of everything apart from that none of us will be saved. And God has been doing that from the beginning of human history, he has been revealing Christ to sinners, he has been opening up inside their hearts the light, an eternal light of His own glory radiating in Christ, and opening up that beautiful eyesight of faith inside their souls to receive that light of Christ, and see it for its beauty and its majesty, and glory. And in seeing Christ there by faith we are justified. We see the glory of God, our sins are forgiven and God's been doing that all along. It's always been the same in every generation. And now as we come to Hebrews 11, and as we're unfolding this chapter, and we're understanding faith, we're understanding justification by faith, how it is that sinners like us who have violated God's laws, who have done things we ought not to have done, who have left undone things that we were commanded to do, how can sinners like us be made right in the eyes of such a Holy God? And it is by this divine and supernatural light of Christ revealed directly to your heart. If you've been sitting on that mountain side with Peter and the others, seeing Jesus' physical body, maybe his feet covered with dust, him looking like an ordinary man, you would not have been saved by that sight, it would not have saved you. Many people saw Jesus physically and were not saved. But if God the Father would reveal Jesus directly to your hearts and you will see in him, Almighty God in the flesh, and more than that, that He shed His blood for you, that He died in your place and you see that a transfer can happen, that your guilt can be put on Jesus and His righteousness given to you, then you will be saved, and that's all. And that's what he's been doing all along, and he did it in the life of Moses. Now, when we come to Moses, we come to a key issue here for the author to the Hebrews and his first century audience. He's writing to Jewish people who had heard the Gospel, had made some kind of outward profession of faith in Christ. But now they're under pressure, they're being persecuted probably by Jewish religious authorities and neighbors and relatives and friends to forsake Christ, to turn back from Christ and go back to the Law of Moses. And so, in their minds, it's Moses versus Jesus, that's the way they saw it. And they were being tempted strongly pressed by persecution, other troubles to turn their backs on Jesus and go back to Moses, in effect, to the law of Moses, the Old Covenant sacrificial system, all of those things. John Chapter 9, when Jesus heals the man that was born blind, and then he's hauled up in front of the Jewish religious authorities and they have some sharp words back and forth. At one point, this man says, "I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?" And they answered, "We are disciples of Moses. As for this fellow, we don't know where he comes from." And the blind man answers so beautifully. "Now that is remarkable! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does his will. Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing." Never in history has anyone heard of the eyes of a blind man, man born blind being open and you don't know where he's from? Isn't it obvious? But there is the dichotomy. We are disciples of Moses, as for this man, we don't know who he is. And so, these Jewish first century professors of faith in Christ, were being tempted to forsake Jesus and go back to Moses. Now, the author's already opened up this topic for us in Hebrews 3. He's shown us that Moses was a faithful man, he was a servant in God's house, but Jesus is no mere servant in God's house, but is a son over God's house. I. By Faith Moses Looked Ahead to Christ (vs. 26) But now, here in Hebrews 11, he's going to get even more pointed, he's going to say, in effect, that Moses was justified by faith in Jesus Christ even in his day, and that God mystically, mysteriously, spiritually revealed Christ to him at that point. And so, by faith Moses looked ahead to Christ. Look at Verse 26, "He, [Moses] regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ, as of greater value than all the treasures of Egypt. Because he was looking ahead to his reward." So here we have this incredible statement, disgrace for the sake of Christ. Now, this was 1500 or 2000 years or 1500 years before Christ was even born, the Exodus, something like 15 centuries before Jesus. And yet, he was seeing Christ by faith. That's what the author is asserting. Jesus asserted as much concerning Moses, didn't he? In John 5:46, Jesus said, "If you believe Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me." Moses wrote about me. And then after his resurrection, Jesus in Luke 24:27, speaking to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus said, "'Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter into his glory?' And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.'" And then later that same day to the disciples in the upper room, he does the same thing, beginning with Moses, he shows everything that Moses had written about him. Now, Moses, who we began looking at last week, who was rescued out of the Nile by Pharaoh's daughter, and who was raised in royalty, raised in wealth and honor and privilege, as in some ways an adopted a son of Pharaoh, turned his back on all of that, he forsook all of it, he rejected it, he would not be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, but embraced suffering for Christ, embraced it. God revealed Christ to Moses, and Moses was willing to choose suffering for the sake of Christ, rather than the luxuries and pleasures of Egypt. Verse 26 explains why he regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ, as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt. Because he was looking ahead to his reward. In due time, Moses would write the Pentateuch, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. He would record all the stories that have been the backdrop of what we've been looking at in Hebrews 11, up to this point. Moses would be the one that wrote down from the very beginning how God predicted a serpent slayer that would come. How he told even in Genesis 3:15, that the seed of woman would come and he would crush the serpent's head. It was Moses that would write those words. It was Moses who wrote about Abel's sacrifice and Enoch walking with God and Noah's flood, and Abraham being called out of err the Chaldeans and turning his back on that and the promise made to Abraham that through his offspring, all peoples on earth will be blessed. It was Moses that wrote all of these things, it was Moses that wrote the account of Abraham almost killing his son Isaac on Mount Moriah and how the Angel of the Lord stopped him and said... The angel said, "Now, I know that you fear God, because you've not withheld from me the Angel of the Lord your son, your only son." And then the angel said, "I swear by myself… because you've done this… I will surely bless you." Who is the angel of the Lord? Moses wrote those words. It was Moses who wrote these things, it was Moses that wrote about Jacob's dream and the ladder and the angels ascending and descending, and the Lord at the top looking down. And about the wrestling, Jacob is wrestling with the angel. And the predictive blessings that Jacob made to the 12 patriarchal leaders and to Judah in particular saying, "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his." It was Moses that wrote those words. And so, God had in some amazing way, revealed Jesus to Moses and he trusted in Christ. Moses and the Prophets Were Serving the Coming Generations Now, I don't think that Moses fully understood everything that he was writing. No Old Testament prophet really did. 1 Peter 1:10-12 says that the prophets who wrote the predictive messages about Christ in the Old Testament did not fully understand. They were trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories it would follow. And they were told that they weren't serving themselves, but that later generation that would come. And so, we have the benefit of greater clarity. The New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the actual accounts of the works of Jesus, what he actually did, and how the Gospel spread through the Book of Acts, and the Epistles explaining the theology of the Gospel. We have it all so very clearly. But Moses understood who Christ was. And so, the key issue then for these Hebrew-Christians and for us is that Moses was justified by faith long before he gave them the law. Moses' simple trusting in Christ predates the law. And so, by faith Moses looked ahead to Christ. And frankly, there's not much difference between looking ahead to Christ by faith or looking back to Christ by faith. It's the same thing. Neither one of us sees him with our own eyes, we have the Word of God we have the accounts of who he is, we believe them or we don't, it's really that simply. And Moses looked ahead based on the words of God and saw Christ and trusted Him. And we look back based on the words of God and we trust Him or we don't, and if we trust Him, we have forgiveness of sins. II. By Faith Moses Looked Ahead to His Reward (vs. 26) Secondly, we see that by faith Moses, also looked ahead to his reward. Look at Verse 26, He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. There are so many key elements in this verse. First of all, the essential aspect of faith is that it's forward looking, we're looking forward, we're looking ahead. The assurance of things hoped for. Romans 8:24 says, "who hoped for what he already has?" So right away from the beginning in verse 1, we are told that faith is forward looking, it looks ahead, it has to do with things we hope for, things we have not yet received. We're also told in Verse 6 that God rewards those who earnestly seek Him. In Verse 10, we're told that Abraham was looking forward to a city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Verse 13, we're told, all these patriarchal people, the people in that era were still living by faith when they died, they did not receive the things promised, but they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. Looking forward, looking ahead is part of faith. People who say such things, verse 14 show that they're looking for a country of their own, something that they can possess forever and ever, they're looking ahead. Verse 16, they're longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Verse 16 again, God has prepared a city for them. All of this forward looking. Verses 20-22, the patriarchs, Isaac and Jacob, and Joseph, they're all looking ahead, looking ahead, even to their death beds. And so, that's a fundamental issue, the issue of looking forward. And we do the same by faith in Jesus, amen, that's the nature of the race that we're running, Philippians 3, forgetting what's behind and straining or pressing on toward what's ahead. The upward call of God in Christ Jesus. We're looking ahead, we're looking forward, we press on toward the goal. Oh, do you not see how delightful this is? Do you not see what an advantage we believers have over worldlings. They dread the future. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Why? He's got everything he wants, right? He's the king. Yeah, but he might not be king tomorrow. There might be an assassination plot, someone might be poisoning his food, somebody has to sample his dinner. Somebody might shove a dagger between his ribs before he goes to bed that night. Or maybe some other king is going to come with a more powerful army, and he's going to take away everything he has, because he's not strong enough. And so he goes to bed anxious and concerned, he's afraid. The same thing for ordinary people, we're worried about the future, what it's going to bring, will we lose everything dear to us? O Christians, brothers and sisters, you will not lose everything dear to you. Your best things are stored up in Heaven for you and moth and rust cannot destroy, and thieves cannot break in and steal. Your treasure can't be stolen from you. What are you afraid of? We are rich in Christ, and we're looking forward to coming into our inheritance, amen. We're looking forward to getting it. Right now, we're living on stipend checks and they're pretty good. They really are. The deposit of the Spirit and we're feeding on that, and the spirit's testifying that we're children of God, and all of that, but won't you be glad to give up the stipend check for the actual inheritance? Amen. Well, praise God. We are wealthy and no one can take our wealth from us, and so we look forward. They're afraid of death, they might not have admit it, but they're in bondage, they're in slavery to the one who holds the power of death over them, because they're sinners and they can't get free. All of their lives are held in slavery by their fear of death. Only Jesus, the death conqueror can deliver you from that. He holds the keys of death and Hades. Amen. We have no fear of death. Our best things are all in the future. I don't care what incredibly good life you've had up to this point, richly blessed by God, amen. All of them are as tiny insignificant blessings compared to what you have yet to come. And so therefore, in Colossians 3, we set our hearts on things above and things to come, not on earthly things. Oh, what an advantage our faith is, looking forward, looking forward to Christ, looking forward to his return, looking forward to our inheritance. Look Forward to the Day and Hasten its Coming And we're told in 2 Peter 3 with this whole same kind of language that we're looking forward, looking forward, he says it three times, looking forward. And it says, "Since everything that you see is going to be destroyed in this way, everything, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and Godly lives as you look forward, there it is, as you look forward to the day of God and speed it's coming." Do you realize how vital that is it? Alright, those are the two infinite journeys there, because everything's going away, everything is going to burn, it's all going to disappear. You are given in those Verses 2 Peter 3, the two infinite journeys, you ought to live a holy and Godly life, you ought to purify yourself from un-Godliness, that's an internal journey and you ought to look ahead to the day of God and speed it's coming. You do that by evangelism and missions, there's no other way. And so, by sharing the Gospel, by bringing the elect Christ, Jesus isn't coming back to till all the elective heard the Gospel and responded by faith, then he's coming back, amen. So we've got work to do friends, we've got internal journey and external journey, work to do. But he says it three time in 2 Peter 3, we look forward to the day of God, God we look forward to the second coming, we look forward to the new heavens and the new Earth, we're looking forward to it all. And how glorious is that? Now, in this text, it says that Moses isn't just looking forward to Christ, but he's looking forward to his reward. He turned down a life of luxury and in effect, he's standing before Almighty God and saying, "Okay God, I'm turning down silk pillows, I'm turning down plates of grapes and beautiful slave girls dropping the grapes right into my open mouth, I'm not going to live like that. They're not going to find me with their big fans anymore, I'm not living that life, I'm going to go wander in the desert with a bunch of fractious people who do not appreciate me, and who actually would like to stone me. Actually, he didn't know all that was coming, but it's coming. And he embraced a life of disgrace. Do you see that word, disgrace. The people who were his friends, the Egyptians who were his friends in the court there, maybe his half-brothers and half-sisters, his adoptive mother, all of those Egyptian powerful people who were beating on his biological people, but they were his friends, and they like... He turned his back on all of that, and He embraced disgrace for them. The author to Hebrews are going to call us all to that in Hebrews 13. Jesus suffered outside the gate. We need to go outside the gate and bear the disgrace he bore. He is disgraced by the world. You want to be pleasing to God, then you stand next to him and get disgrace to. So Moses was willing to bear disgrace for the name of Christ. What about you? What about me? Are you only to be disgraced, societally rejected, looked on poorly, slandered, reviled because you follow Christ? Well, Moses was willing to do it, it says because he was looking forward to his reward. That Nature of the Reward And what is the nature of this reward? What is this reward? When we come to rewards again, we already covered it in verse six so I don't need to go into any great detail. Rewards are tokens of God's pleasure connected with your actions and motives. God gives you some emblems of how pleased he was that you did that. The fundamental reward of the Christian life is God himself. God himself is our very great reward, and we get him. All lesser rewards, and there are lesser rewards, are all in some way connected to our relationship with Him. They are relational moments. It's God saying, "Well done, good and faithful servant. I am pleased with you. Enter into the joy of your master, I want you to step into the joy I had when you went into the room and close the door and pray to your Father who's unseen, or when you gave to the needy and your right hand, didn't know what your left hand was doing." Your reward is great for this. Rewards are different than wages. They're not earned or merited as though we deserve them. The rewards of the Christian life are just lavish grace, amen. We know that God would even have us in heaven, but that he would actually find things in our lives worthy of praise. He rewards us, and so Moses was looking ahead to his reward. Now, rewards are not all equal. There are some great rewards and lesser rewards. Causes something to be greatly reward-able versus something that's worthy of a smaller reward? I think it has to do with how much faith and how much sacrifice it took to do it in this world. The harder it is, the more faith that you need, the more it costs you in this world, then the more worthy of praise and a reward it will be in the next. Does that make sense? So, if you do anything by faith, anything at all today by faith, you make a phone call by faith, you speak a word of encouragement by faith, you get down on your knees and pray for someone by faith, any of it can be rewarded, will be. God is not unjust. He won't forget anything you've done. Store up lots of them. But the really big ones, the big rewards, the great rewards are for those who suffer in this world to serve Christ. Does that makes sense? It costs you something and by faith, you do it anyway. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you. So great is your award if you suffer greatly. Does that make sense? And we'll meet them later in the same chapter, in Hebrews 11, people who wandered around in deserts and caves and were sawn into and stoned and suffered greatly for Jesus and so if you want great rewards then do great things. Understand that you don't deserve, even for doing great things, anything from God, but he's promised that he will reward and great will be your reward. And so Moses had a great reward because he made a great sacrifice. He turned away by faith from a comfortable life of ease and embraced suffering and disgrace for the sake of Christ. Moses Weighed the Reward And he did it because he weighed it. He considered it of greater value, that's what the text says. He weighed it and looked at it and it was better for him. It was a better deal. A few months ago I went with my daughter, Carol, and we went up to pick up my mom and drive her back. She lives seasonally across the street from us, and so we had some time and we went up to Rockport, Massachusetts, and we went into a number of the painting stores they have up there. It's a real art center, and I don't know that much about art appraisal. I probably couldn't tell the difference between a masterpiece and something that just generally looked good, but I noticed that there was a wide range of prices, everything from $75 up to 10, 15, 20 $25000 for a painting. Decided not to buy one of those. Alright, but I thought, "What's the difference?" This one's bigger than that, so it's not just size, has to do with quality, different things, but there were just different prices, and it has to do with appraising. And so somebody who's really skilled at this, who owns these stores, they look and they can tell something that's really high quality because the thing itself. You're on a desert island and it's between an incredible painting and sufficient food to last year, you know what you'd pick. Even if it were a bunch of barley roles, you choose the barley roles. So the thing doesn't have any intrinsic value, but it just has to do with what the market will bear, and the quality of it. And the value that comes at appraising. And so, a faith-filled person does some praising here, and you've got the life in an Egyptian court, a comfortable life of ease and power and pleasure. You're looking at the value of that and then you're looking at what you get if you choose a life of suffering and disgrace for Christ. He looked at and this infinitely outweigh that. It was worth it to Moses to do it. He wasn't the fool to do it. He's enjoying that reward now, and he'll enjoy it forever and ever. It would have been a fool not to do it that way. So it has to do with a reckoning process, a thinking process, seeing the world rightly. It is temporary, friends, that's all going to burn. We have a short time and while we have this window of opportunity, give it up. That's what the Lord's calling on us to do. III. By Faith Moses Feared the Invisible God More Than Visible Pharaoh It also says in Verse 27, by faith Moses feared the invisible God more than visible Pharaoh. By faith he left Egypt, it says, not fearing the king's anger. He persevered because he saw him who is invisible. And we touched on this last time with Moses' parents. Sometimes Satan presents himself as an angel of light, and he offers you the world or a portion of it. 2 Corinthians 11:14, "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light," but sometimes he takes the form of a dockyard bully, and if you don't do what he wants, he'll punch you in the mouth or cut off your head. Revelation 12:17, "Then the dragon, [that's Satan] was enraged at the woman, that's the people of God, and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring, those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus." that's Satan like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. And so he especially uses wicked kings, intimidating kings, and here it's Pharaoh. Kings have the power to make your life miserable. Proverbs 20:2 says, "A king's wrath is like the roar of a lion. He who angers him, forfeits his life." You cross the king, you die. So it's intimidating, it's scary. And so we have many biblical examples of this. We have Nebuchadnezzar, prime example. What a temper problem he had. I trust Nebuchadnezzar in heaven now. I think he is, but God had to deal with that temper. And humble him and his arrogance, his pride. And when his counselors in Daniel 2 couldn't tell him what his dream was and interpret it for him, he became filled with rage and gave an edict that all of his counselors in Babylon be put to death, all of them. Same thing happens in chapter 3 when he erected a golden statue and ordered that everyone bowed down to it, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego would not bow down to it, and again, he's filled with rage. I find that interesting. He has everything he wants. The most powerful man on Earth, can eat anything he wants, drink anything he wants, do anything he wants. He is the man, and he's fill with rage that easily, just like the devil. And when they will not bow down to him, he becomes even angrier, and his face becomes twisted with rage and he orders the furnace heated seven times hotter. Many, many leaders like this, Pontius Pilate, knowing that Jesus is innocent, goes back and forth. And at that point Jesus is done talking to Pilate, doesn't say anything to him, you remember. Silent, he said a few things to Pilate, but at that point, it's done. He's not saying anything. And Pilate says ridiculously, "Do you refuse to speak to me? Don't you realize I have the power to crucify you and the power to set you free?" It's intimidation. Happens in our day and age. Probably no one did this more intensely than Adolf Hitler. A terrible intimidate. Demon possessed, I think. He was called carpet chewer by some of his counselors and generals that were around him because he would throw himself on the ground, foam at the mouth and chew the carpet, which would bother me if I saw someone doing that. It's terrifying. Hermann Goering who was a World War I fighter ACE, courageous man, corrupt but courageous, was terrified to bring Hitler bad news. No one wanted to bring him bad news, ever. They were terrified of him. When he met in March of 1938 with the President of Czechoslovakia, Edvard Benes, he threw himself into such a purple rage in front of this man that the man went in almost had cardiac arrest. He almost died right in front of Hitler because of the terror and fear. Did the same thing a year later with the representatives of the British government after he had swallowed up Czechoslovakia, they come in and try to avert World War I, I and he does the same thing rolling on the carpet and screaming. The guy walks out to go back to report to Neville Chamberlain, Hitler jumps up slaps himself in the thigh and starts laughing. He says, "Chamberlain's government will topple by this evening." Which it didn't, but that's the kind of rage. And he used it. The same thing with the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrushchev, famously pounding on the table with his shoe out of rage. It's very intimidating. Moses by faith faced the king's anger and did what God want him to do anyway. He faced it, and he was not afraid of the king's anger, and he persevered. He left Egypt by faith. Now, Moses left Egypt twice. You understand that. He left Egypt, the first time, after he murdered the Egyptian overseer, the slave driver, he murdered him. Looking this way and that, he murder him, and hid his body in the sand. And it says right in Exodus 2:14 Moses was afraid the next day because he came upon two Jews who are arguing. He said, "You guys are brothers. You should get along." And he said, "Well, you want to kill us, like you killed that Egyptian yesterday." And then it says then Moses was afraid and said, "What I did must have become known." And then Pharaoh found out about it and wanted to kill him, so he ran for his life. Fugitive alright. I don't think the text is referring to that because he was afraid. Moses Confronts Pharaoh No, it's referring to the second time he left Egypt after the plagues when he brought with him millions of Jews. And so he comes back after 40 years of wandering in the desert, 40 years of caring for his father's sheep, father-in-law sheep, and God appears to him in the flames of the burning bush. Calls on him to go back and to tell Pharaoh, "Let my people go." He goes back, he says, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says, 'Let my people go.'" And Pharaoh says, "I don't know the Lord, and I will not let the people go." And thus begins a back and forth that is ever escalates Pharaoh's rage. Every step makes Pharaoh angrier and angrier. Plague after plague, the plague on the fresh water turning it to blood, than the plague on the frogs, crawling all over Egypt. Plague of gnats and flies swarming all over Pharaoh's body and in his household. Plague on the livestock, the boils the hail, the locus, the darkness, one plague after another and you have to imagine each one of these directly attacking Pharaoh's rule, and attacking his pride and making him angrier in anger. How would you like to be Moses having to go negotiate with this guy day after day after day? : Finally, the most dreadful plague of all. Plague on the first born, at that point Pharaoh is trying to bargain with Moses. It's alright, you can go, but you can't go very far, you can go, you can't bring your livestock with you. No, there's no bargaining. You're not in a strong position, Pharaoh, in case you hadn't noticed. You're going to do exactly what God wants you to do. Finally, Pharaoh was so enraged that he says, "Get out of my sight. Make sure you do not appear before me again, the day you see my face, you will die." "Just as you say,' Moses said, 'You will never see my face again.'" Well, through all of that, Moses persevered through all of the anger and rage of Pharaoh he persevered as if seeing it says the invisible God because he could see God, because he could see him by faith, let's be honest, he feared God more than he feared Pharaoh. This is a very powerful, a powerful lesson. One time I was afraid to lead an outreach, it was a Halloween outreach in Salem, Massachusetts, and I was afraid because the year before, I'd almost been arrested for doing this outward. Didn't do anything wrong. But Laurie Cabot, the official witch of Massachusetts, back then Massachusetts had an official witch according to Governor Dukakis. And that was her and I met her daughter, delightful girl. At any rate, she came out, 25-year-old woman, she was filled with rage at me, and we had a very interesting debate in front of her house. I'll never forget that. Well, a year later we're doing another outreach. It was the night of what became known as the perfect storm. There was a movie made about it, and there was a hurricane that struck off the coast of Massachusetts, and it was an unbelievable time, and I was middle of the week, and I was just... Satan was working on me all day long, is the longest work day of my life. I was just an engineer at that point, and just I thought it by now it's got to be 3 or 4 in the afternoon a be like 9:30 in the morning, which is the long day because just the fear, r satanic fear of witnessing, satanic fear of persecution. And at that point, I was doing scripture memorization, in Isaiah, Isaiah 51. It says there, "I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal men, the sons of men, who are but grass, that you forget the Lord your maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor? The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread. For I am the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar-- the Lord Almighty is his name. I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand-- I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, 'You are my people.'" That's what I was memorizing that day. I'll never forget that. I said, "Alright Lord, I get the message." Do not fear man more than you fear me. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but I give you an even higher motive than that. How about delight in the Lord? I just want to please him, I want him to be pleased with me. I want to see his smiling face. I want him to be glorified and so the fear of the Lord enabled Moses not to fear the king, and delight in him, as well. And so Stephen at the end of his trial, as he has already accused them of being stiff-neck people of uncircumcised hearts and ears, and they didn't like that very much. They were very angry. And then suddenly Stephen, as they were furious with him, gnashing their teeth at him, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up and he saw heaven open, and he saw Jesus standing at the right side of God. He said, "Look, I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." Delight, beauty, attractiveness drives away all fear. He was already gone. They had to kill his body, but he was already in heaven at that point. Just the delight and the joy, and by faith, as if seeing the invisible Christ, he was bold and courageous. Now, I still have two more points, but I see that it's 12:20. So let's do it next week. Let's talk about the Passover and the Red Sea crossing, next week, amen. Can't do that in one minute. You know I can't do that. I cannot do the Passover in the Red Sea crossing in one minute, so we'll do it next week. IV. Applications The application for this is plain, Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Son of Man, he is the savior. Has he been revealed to you as such? Has God the Father revealed Christ to you? And if he has, venture on him. Venture holy let no other trust intrude. Trust in Christ entirely, your own righteousness cannot save you. Maybe you had not been a Christian before you came in here maybe a friend invited you, maybe we met one on the outreach yesterday. And that's why you're in church today and you know you're not a Christian, you know that you're not saved. All you need to know, you've heard today. That Jesus the Son of God died on the cross, shed his blood for sinners like you. If you trust in him, you will be forgiven. And so I say, also to you as believers, venture on Christ. Don't fear man. Be willing to turn your back on a life of ease and comfort and embrace a life of suffering and disgrace. Don't fear disgrace. Don't seek it out say, "I want to be disgraced." But go after Christ and faithfulness, and share the gospel and disgrace will find you. But let's be bold and courageous close with me in prayer.
Ethics-Talk: The Greatest Good of Man is Daily to Converse About Virtue
In November 1945 the victors of World War 2 commenced the historic "Nuremberg Trials" - in which a number of defendants including high ranking Nazi officials like Hermann Goering (commander of the German air force or "luftwaffe") and Rudolph Hess (the deputy fuhrer) were tried for crimes against the peace, crimes against humanity and war crimes. In 1948, the U.S. conducted a second set of trials ("the subsequent Nuremberg trials") in which judges, doctors and businessmen were tried. In this show, we will focus on the trial of the judges - the "Alstotter trial" or "Justice" case - on which the award winning film "Judgement at Nuremberg" is based. By focusing on the Justice case, our aim is to have the listener appreciate the philosophical, moral and legal significance of the Nuremberg trials.
Most everyone has heard of the Nuremberg Trials. Popular books have been written about them. Hollywood made movies about them. Some of us can even name a few of the convicted (Hermann Goering, Albert Speer, etc.). But fewer of us know about what might be called “Nuremberg East,” that is,...

Most everyone has heard of the Nuremberg Trials. Popular books have been written about them. Hollywood made movies about them. Some of us can even name a few of the convicted (Hermann Goering, Albert Speer, etc.). But fewer of us know about what might be called “Nuremberg East,” that is, the Toyko trials held after the defeat of the Japanese in World War Two. These proceedings generated few books, no movies, and therefore occupy only a minor place in Western historical memory. Thanks to Yuma Totani’s excellent book, The Tokyo War Crimes Trials. The Pursuit of Justice in the Wake of World War II (Harvard, 2008; also available in Japanese here), that may change. We should hope it does, because the Tokyo trials were important. They not only helped the Japanese come to terms with what their government and military had done during the war (truth be told, they are still coming to terms with it today), but it also set precedents that are still being applied in international law today. More than that, Totani offers a challenging interpretation of the trials. They weren’t so much “victor’s justice” (the common interpretation in Japan) as a lost opportunity. Reading her book one can’t help but get the feeling that the Americans and their confederates bungled the trials badly. Instead of trying to establish personal responsibility in all cases, the Allies simply arrested the upper echelons of the Japanese civil and military elite and selected those who were “representative” for indictment. Those who were not indicted–though probably just as culpable as those who were–were set free, giving rise to the myth that they had brokered deals with the Americans. The prosecution was headed by an inattentive alcoholic (Joseph Keenan) who preferred interrogating the accused to gathering hard documentary evidence. The defense was comprised of ill-prepared Japanese attorneys and their less-than-helpful Allied aids. Confusion reigned in the courtroom. And of course there were significant translation problems throughout. The trials were something of a farce. I always wondered why many Japanese today don’t think very highly of the Tokyo proceedings. Now, thanks to Yuma Totani’s informative book, I have a better understanding of why. Please become a fan of “New Books in History” on Facebook if you haven’t already.
