➡️ Watch the full ad-free interview on PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/DecodingGeopolitics➡️ Sign up to my free geopolitics newsletter: https://decodinggeopolitics.substack.com/This is a conversation with Peter Heather - a professor of history at the King's College London and the world's leading authority on the fall of the Roman Empire. Now this might sound a bit random since this is a podcast about contemporary geopolitics but Peter has recently written a book that takes his expertise much further. He makes an argument that all great empires of history go through the exact same cycle of rise and fall - including the present day American empire. And that just like Rome it's fall is caused by the same thing that made it a superpower in the first place - and that just like for Rome, it's now on a swift and inevitable fall down. It's a fascinating argument and one of my favorite discussions that provides a great framework for how to think about today - and what it is that we are - unfortunately - heading towards.

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics is back! This week, we're breaking down issue #61, "Screams in the Void," released on April 13, 1982. Lauded as one of the premiere issues of this Marvel Comics series, "Screams in the Void" is a fan favorite. We got dozens of comments when we posted the cover out on social media for your opinions.  Richard shares his childhood memories of this pivotal issue, while Sarah experiences its twists and revelations for the first time. Along the way, we compare its artwork and ideas to The Force Awakens, Return of the Jedi, Ralph McQuarrie's concept art, and even Star Trek's The Trouble with Tribbles. This fast-moving issue leaves us with one enormous cliffhanger: did Luke Skywalker actually kill Shira Brie?? About Issue 61: Screams in the Void The Empire has captured a Teezl, a living communicator capable of transmitting information across the galaxy in the blink of an eye. Luke, Shira Brie, and a team of Rebel pilots infiltrate the Imperial armada in modified TIE fighters, but when the Teezl blocks their communications, Luke uses the Force to identify an enemy—and unknowingly shoots down Shira Brie! Release date: April 13th, 1982 Written by: David Michelinie & Walt Simonson Artwork by: Walt Simonson, Tom Palmer, Glynis Wein Coloring by: Don Warfield Cover Art: Walt Simonson About Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics For those new to our CMSWC sub-series, we are working our way through the original Star Wars comic run published by Marvel from 1977 to 1986. Along the way, we share childhood memories, first-time reactions, artistic observations, and connections to later Star Wars films, series, novels, comics, video games, and even theme parks.

What do imperial/imperialist commemorations "forget" as if history began on 9/11/2001 or 10/7/2023? Some talk about the GWOT as history, but has it ended?

Legends tell of the final round of a combination beauty pageant/spelling bee that ceased to resemble any known human contest, but had instead become a brutal reckoning of song, dance, and cutthroat orthography. It unfolded beneath the brass chandeliers of a Holiday Inn in suburban Alabama, where the faded ballroom carpet bore mute witness to Trixie and Katya performing desperate pirouettes to stale 80s power ballads and sheepishly spelling words like "prestidigitation" while shooting glares as sharp as daggers across the stage at each other like silent declarations of mascara-drenched animosity. Outside, the interstate burned beneath the humid Southern night; inside, these two sequined titans stood at the very edge of destiny. For one impossible hour, somewhere between a broken ice machine and the complimentary continental breakfast buffet, the fate of beauty, class, and poise itself was decided by the gods of synthetic-bejeweled tiaras.

Our recap episodes, which offer a synthesis of our 1792-1804 coverage one year at a time, have reached 1804 - the year in which France gets an emperor once again, and Europe gets an imperial-sized problem. Chris Sloan talks presenter Alex Stevenson through specific key clips he's picked out from our old episodes grouped around four themes which, we argue, help frame the period and shape our understanding of it in a whole new way. We hope this will provide a helpful refresh for longstanding listeners - whilst at the same time offering an 'entry ramp' to the podcast for those who want to get up to speed relatively easily (just) before we crash full-speed into the intensity of the Napoleonic Wars.This episode covers a 12-month period in which there is plenty of change - and lots of slowly developing tension. As well as Napoleon Bonaparte's coronation as Emperor following the uncovering of the Cadoudal-Pichegru plot earlier in the year, we see these themes mirrored in Britain becoming jumpy over intensifying French invasion threat, leading to William Pitt's return as prime minister. Russia breaks relations with France as a result of the deeply controversial kidnapping of the Duc D'Enghien, apparently on Napoleon's orders, whilst Britain moves against Spain by seizing its treasure ships. Old regimes like Austria are reshaping themselves with Francis becoming a new kind of emperor, whilst the United States is moving into new territory - literally - with the Lewis and Clark Expedition setting off.Help us produce more episodes by supporting the Napoleonic Quarterly on Patreon: patreon.com/napoleonicquarterly

Radicada em Portugal há seis anos, Deborah Trois se divide entre a contabilidade e o fascínio pela genealogia, área a que se dedica há 11 anos. Nas pesquisas, descobriu ser a descendente direta do bibliotecário real de D. João VI, na transferência da corte de Portugal para o Brasil. Fábia Belém, correspondente da RFI em Portugal Contadora apaixonada por genealogia, Deborah Trois decidiu investigar o passado da família quando ainda morava em Niterói, sua cidade natal. Localizou as raízes franco-suíças da mãe e, quando mudou-se para Portugal em 2020, dedicou-se a pesquisar as origens do pai. O que ela não esperava era descobrir um antepassado ligado à corte portuguesa, o que acabou por dar origem ao seu primeiro livro — o romance de ficção histórica “O Segredo de Marrocos”. “Tive essa grande surpresa de ser descendente direta. Eu sou sexta neta de Luiz Joaquim dos Santos Marrocos, que foi o bibliotecário real de D. João VI na transferência da corte de Portugal para o Brasil”, explica. Em 1811, três anos depois da transferência da corte, Marrocos partiu de Lisboa para o Rio de Janeiro com a missão de acompanhar a segunda remessa de livros e manuscritos da Real Biblioteca, que constituíram o acervo inicial da Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil, instalada na capital fluminense. Na nova sede, ele foi encarregado de organizar os manuscritos da Coroa Portuguesa, o que o levou a trabalhar no Paço Imperial, onde ficava o gabinete do então príncipe regente D. João, que se tornou rei D. João VI, em 1816, com a morte da sua mãe. Como sublinha Trois, Marrocos “tinha uma proximidade grande com Dom João VI; ele participava do 'beija-mão' (cerimônia na qual suditos prestavam reverência ao rei). Então, ele estava por dentro daquela corte”. Pesquisa documental Até chegar a Luiz Joaquim dos Santos Marrocos, a autora brasileira recorreu a registros paroquiais do Arquivo Distrital de Lisboa e a documentos oficiais da Torre do Tombo, que é o Arquivo Nacional português. Ela também utilizou plataformas digitais de genealogia e de coleções históricas da imprensa da época. Toda a investigação seguiu o Padrão de Prova Genealógica, método que serve para confirmar a exatidão de dados históricos. Nesse processo, alguns documentos serviram como peças-chave para ajudar a desvendar o passado da família paterna de Deborah. “Quando eu obtive a certidão do meu avô, a avó dele já era uma Marrocos”, recorda Deborah Trois.   Depois que descobriu ser descendente do bibliotecário real, a autora começou mais uma investigação que durou cerca de dois anos. O pilar da pesquisa foi o epistolário de Marrocos — o conjunto de 186 cartas que ele escreveu à família, em Lisboa, entre 1811 e 1821, ano em que D. João VI embarcou de volta a Portugal. Os documentos, muito usados por historiadores, revelam os bastidores da corte e a rotina da colônia. Deborah Trois, que, à época, não tinha o epistolário de Santos Marrocos, conta que “foi uma corrida nos sebos e alfarrabistas (livrarias especializadas em livros raros)" para conseguir o acervo. E, depois de ler todas as correspondências, “consegui ter uma visão, a minha visão do homem inteiro. Eu, como descendente, fui [pesquisar] desde o nascimento até o fim”, afirma. Livro 'O Segredo de Marrocos' A coletânea de cartas do bibliotecário real foi a principal matéria-prima do livro “O Segredo de Marrocos”, publicado pela editora portuguesa Cordel d'Prata e lançado em agosto na cidade do Porto. Sem dar detalhes, a autora diz que a obra “conta mais sobre o homem inteiro do que só sobre aquela parte do epistolário, que é mais usada pelos historiadores”. “Esse livro não esconde nada. Ele abre o arquivo em vez de fechá-lo. E eu acho que essa é a minha grande missão: abrir esse arquivo do Luiz Joaquim e deixar que as pessoas o conheçam, nem absolvendo o Luiz Joaquim, nem condenando o Luiz Joaquim, [mas] conhecendo ele por inteiro”, antecipa Trois, lançando um tom de mistério para os futuros leitores. E sem revelar o segredo de Marrocos, a autora garante que o livro guarda uma descoberta pessoal, porque “vai além da vida que ele construiu no Rio de Janeiro e com um achado inédito meu, que nunca foi falado, nunca foi escrito por nenhum historiador”. 'Dobra no tempo' A expectativa de Deborah é que “O Segredo de Marrocos” seja lançado no Brasil até o início de outubro, mas ainda este mês a autora já tem agendada uma sessão de autógrafos em Lanhelas, no norte de Portugal. Foi nessa vila do município de Caminha, a cerca de 100 quilômetros da cidade do Porto, que Trois localizou os descendentes da família Marrocos que permaneceram em Portugal — um encontro que imprimiu uma face contemporânea à própria pesquisa. “Eu me sinto exatamente como se fosse uma dobra no tempo. Luiz sempre quis muito voltar a Portugal, [mas] acabou por ficar no Brasil, e acabou que uma descendente de sexta geração volta e reencontra os Marrocos que ficaram aqui. É muito bonito; é um ciclo que se fecha e um ciclo que se abre”, analisa a autora.

CONTENTS JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 8-27-2026.Anatol Lieven warns that foreign policy establishments in both the United States and Britain have embraced a dangerous militarism. He highlights how the Biden administration failed to rejoin the nuclear deal with Iran, seeking instead a harder bargain. Furthermore, Europe faces acute escalation risks over Ukraine; Russia has warned of retaliation against Britain for authorizing the use of Storm Shadow missiles inside Russian territory. Lieven cautions that British Prime Minister Burnham's domestic agenda could be destroyed if a stray British missile strikes a Russian civilian target, triggering a direct, retaliatory attack on British soil. (1)Peter Huessy argues that nuclear deterrence remains vital but requires continuous modernization of missiles, submarines, bombers, and command systems to match Russian and Chinese advancements. He explains that conventional defense fails against nuclear attacks in military war games. Huessy advocates for "counterforce" strategies—targeting an enemy's weapons and leadership rather than innocent civilian cities ("countervalue"). He also supports adding theater nuclear systems to deter Russia's "escalate to win" doctrine, which utilizes low-yield battlefield nuclear weapons to force a NATO stand-down. (2)Andrea Stricker discusses the concerning US-Saudi bilateral nuclear agreement, which triggers a 90-day congressional review. This pact opens the door to uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, setting a dangerous precedent that could spark a regional "domino effect." Additionally, Stricker highlights unresolved risks in Syria. Despite a US-brokered deal to turn over natural uranium metal, Syria's al-Qaeda-linked leadership intends to rebuild its civil nuclear program. She urges the US to enforce the complete removal of all nuclear material from Syria rather than giving extremists a pass. (3)Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains how the US is aggressively targeting Cuban regime elites by freezing assets and revoking visas. To facilitate the regime's collapse, O'Grady stresses that the US must present a viable post-collapse plan for "Day Zero" to avoid chaos, bloodshed, or oligarchic asset-grabbing. She advocates for securing property rights to encourage external investments and suggests using multilateral peacekeepers to maintain order. She supports a transitional board of Cuban-Americans and Americans to manage investments and prevent former military elites from seizing privatized state assets. (4)Conrad Black analyzes the impending trade dispute between Canada and the United States, labeled "the dumbest trade war ever." President Trump's comments describing Canada as a "51st state" and calling the Prime Minister "governor" have sparked deep resentment across Canada. Prime Minister Carney has ended negotiations and threatened retaliatory tariffs, securing tentative public support. However, the political opposition is demanding that Carney publish the underlying negotiation documents and recall parliament to build an all-party policy. Black argues this represents a moment of great risk but also a Churchillian opportunity. (5)Jane Rogoyska explores the history of Paris's Hôtel Lutetia, which served as a haven for fleeing Weimar intellectuals before becoming a Nazi military intelligence headquarters in 1940. Rogoyska traces waves of refugees fleeing Nazi persecution, including writers Heinrich Mann and Lion Feuchtwanger. These figures struggled to warn an indifferent Europe about the dangers of fascism. Despite personal tragedies and bureaucratic challenges, literary giants like James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and Arthur Koestler frequented the hotel, carrying poison just in case they were captured. (6)Evan Ellis details how an unprecedented "super El Niño" is battering the Americas, causing floods in Peru and severe droughts affecting the Panama Canal. He outlines political developments, including Chile's struggle to finance aging copper mining infrastructure despite high global prices. In Venezuela, the "Rodrigato" gang leadership continues to slow-walk democratic reforms while benefiting from US-supervised oil sales. Colombia's new conservative president, de la Espriella, has prioritized security and pro-business reforms. Finally, in Panama, the US is expanding security efforts to counter persistent Chinese commercial and diplomatic encirclement. (7)

Check out this link to buy DB's Books[link] Upcoming Episodes Grimdark Grandparents: Warhammer 40,000 and Its Pulp DNA 0. What's a W.H.40.K? — An introduction to Warhammer 40,000's immense science-fantasy horror setting, where a corpse-worshipping human empire fights aliens, daemons, ancient machines, and its own terrible history. 1. The Imperium of Man — From Dune, Foundation, Roman decline, and medieval Christendom comes a galactic empire where the future is not progress but a dead civilization kept moving through faith, fear, and paperwork. 2. Space Marines — The Imperium's iconic super-soldiers combine power armor and military science fiction with crusading knights, Spartan myth, warrior monks, kidnapped children, and the seductive imagery of authoritarian heroism. 3. Astra Militarum / Imperial Guard — Drawing from trench literature, British war comics, Kipling, and future-war fiction, the Guard are ordinary people sent into cosmic horror with little more than courage and a lasgun. 4. Adeptus Mechanicus — Frankenstein, Metropolis, invention pulp, and lost-technology stories meet in a machine cult where science survives, understanding does not, and repairs are performed like religious rites. 5. Adepta Sororitas / Ecclesiarchy — Gothic convents, martyr legends, Joan of Arc, witchfinders, and Hammer horror become armored saints who turn faith, suffering, and flamethrowers into instruments of Imperial power. 6. The Inquisition — The occult detective and witch-hunter become one terrifying Imperial investigator who may uncover the truth only to burn every witness, building, and planet touched by it. 7. Rogue Traders — Planetary romance, colonial adventure fiction, space opera, pirates, and merchant princes combine in explorers licensed to discover strange worlds, trade with them, rob them, or claim them for the Imperium. 8. Adeptus Custodes — Ancient palace guards, sacred kingship, Achilles, and Gilgamesh stand behind the Emperor's golden companions: philosopher-warriors created to protect a god who is already dead. 9. Adeptus Titanicus / Titan Legions — Giant robots descend from Martian tripods, dreadnoughts, siege engines, golems, and war gods to become walking cathedrals capable of teaching entire cities to kneel. 10. The Horus Heresy — Warhammer's great betrayal myth draws from Lucifer, Cain and Abel, Arthur and Mordred, Roman civil wars, and fallen-hero stories to explain how the Emperor's favored son broke the human future from within. 11. Chaos Space Marines — Fallen angels, Byronic rebels, cursed champions, and Milton's Satan become immortal super-soldiers whose genuine grievances have curdled into rebellion, bitterness, and damnation. 12. Chaos Daemons — Medieval demonology, grimoires, occult pulp, weird fiction, and nightmare cinema become psychic entities made from mortal rage, despair, ambition, obsession, and desire. 13. World Eaters / Khorne — Sword-and-sorcery pulp, berserker sagas, gladiator spectacle, and revenge tragedy create warriors who reduce every political, emotional, and moral problem to an axe blow. 14. Death Guard / Nurgle — Plague literature, danse macabre, zombie films, body horror, and graveyard humor meet in rotting soldiers who have surrendered to decay and discovered that the joke is that they are happy. 15. Thousand Sons / Tzeentch — Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, mummy fiction, occult scholarship, and forbidden-book stories become sorcerers who sought perfect knowledge only to discover that the book was reading them back. 16. Emperor's Children / Slaanesh — Decadent literature, Gothic aristocrats, glam horror, cursed art, and The Picture of Dorian Gray shape warriors who pursued perfection until beauty became an endlessly hungry mouth. 17. Chaos / Imperial Knights — Haunted castles, ancestral armor, chivalric romance, feudal bloodlines, and giant-robot fiction become seventy-foot war machines carrying generations of family pride, duty, resentment, and curses. 18. Orks — Fantasy orcs, Mad Max, British hooligan comedy, fungus horror, and invasive-species stories combine in a joyful alien ecosystem where killing the enemy may only plant the next war. 19. Tyranids — Alien, The Thing, bug-war fiction, parasite horror, and cosmic naturalism become an extragalactic appetite that does not hate humanity because hatred would interfere with digestion. 20. Genestealer Cults — Body-snatcher films, changeling folklore, secret-cult pulp, family curses, and invasion paranoia create an alien uprising that begins not in the sky but at the dinner table. 21. Necrons — Killer robots and artificial-labor nightmares combine with mummy curses, tomb kings, and cursed archaeology to produce immortal metal dynasties waking from the grave with better weapons than the living. 22. Aeldari / Drukhari — Elves, cruel fairy courts, dying-earth fiction, lost civilizations, decadent aristocrats, and vampire cities become two responses to apocalypse: mourning the fall or continuing the party forever. 23. Night Lords — Batman, slashers, serial killers, Gothic villains, Grand Guignol, and public-execution culture become terror troops who transform punishment into theatre and fear into government. 24. T'au Empire and Leagues of Votann — The T'au combine utopian science fiction, anime mecha, and benevolent imperialism, while the Votann draw from mining frontiers, company towns, clone labor, ancestor cults, and corporate survivalism. 25. [REDACTED] — ▀▀▀ thrillers, ▀▀▀▀▀▀ societies, ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀, invasion ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀, Dr. ▀▀▀▀▀▀, and ▀▀▀▀▀ mythology become a Space Marine legion so committed to ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ that truth itself is rendered operationally ▀▀▀▀▀▀.     Audio Book Stories   01 Introduction.

Black Clock Audio Tales: Audio Books, Science Fiction, Folklore, Gothic Literature, Classic Horror, and the Cthulhu Mythos

Check out this link to buy DB's Books[link] Upcoming Episodes Grimdark Grandparents: Warhammer 40,000 and Its Pulp DNA 0. What's a W.H.40.K? — An introduction to Warhammer 40,000's immense science-fantasy horror setting, where a corpse-worshipping human empire fights aliens, daemons, ancient machines, and its own terrible history. 1. The Imperium of Man — From Dune, Foundation, Roman decline, and medieval Christendom comes a galactic empire where the future is not progress but a dead civilization kept moving through faith, fear, and paperwork. 2. Space Marines — The Imperium's iconic super-soldiers combine power armor and military science fiction with crusading knights, Spartan myth, warrior monks, kidnapped children, and the seductive imagery of authoritarian heroism. 3. Astra Militarum / Imperial Guard — Drawing from trench literature, British war comics, Kipling, and future-war fiction, the Guard are ordinary people sent into cosmic horror with little more than courage and a lasgun. 4. Adeptus Mechanicus — Frankenstein, Metropolis, invention pulp, and lost-technology stories meet in a machine cult where science survives, understanding does not, and repairs are performed like religious rites. 5. Adepta Sororitas / Ecclesiarchy — Gothic convents, martyr legends, Joan of Arc, witchfinders, and Hammer horror become armored saints who turn faith, suffering, and flamethrowers into instruments of Imperial power. 6. The Inquisition — The occult detective and witch-hunter become one terrifying Imperial investigator who may uncover the truth only to burn every witness, building, and planet touched by it. 7. Rogue Traders — Planetary romance, colonial adventure fiction, space opera, pirates, and merchant princes combine in explorers licensed to discover strange worlds, trade with them, rob them, or claim them for the Imperium. 8. Adeptus Custodes — Ancient palace guards, sacred kingship, Achilles, and Gilgamesh stand behind the Emperor's golden companions: philosopher-warriors created to protect a god who is already dead. 9. Adeptus Titanicus / Titan Legions — Giant robots descend from Martian tripods, dreadnoughts, siege engines, golems, and war gods to become walking cathedrals capable of teaching entire cities to kneel. 10. The Horus Heresy — Warhammer's great betrayal myth draws from Lucifer, Cain and Abel, Arthur and Mordred, Roman civil wars, and fallen-hero stories to explain how the Emperor's favored son broke the human future from within. 11. Chaos Space Marines — Fallen angels, Byronic rebels, cursed champions, and Milton's Satan become immortal super-soldiers whose genuine grievances have curdled into rebellion, bitterness, and damnation. 12. Chaos Daemons — Medieval demonology, grimoires, occult pulp, weird fiction, and nightmare cinema become psychic entities made from mortal rage, despair, ambition, obsession, and desire. 13. World Eaters / Khorne — Sword-and-sorcery pulp, berserker sagas, gladiator spectacle, and revenge tragedy create warriors who reduce every political, emotional, and moral problem to an axe blow. 14. Death Guard / Nurgle — Plague literature, danse macabre, zombie films, body horror, and graveyard humor meet in rotting soldiers who have surrendered to decay and discovered that the joke is that they are happy. 15. Thousand Sons / Tzeentch — Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, mummy fiction, occult scholarship, and forbidden-book stories become sorcerers who sought perfect knowledge only to discover that the book was reading them back. 16. Emperor's Children / Slaanesh — Decadent literature, Gothic aristocrats, glam horror, cursed art, and The Picture of Dorian Gray shape warriors who pursued perfection until beauty became an endlessly hungry mouth. 17. Chaos / Imperial Knights — Haunted castles, ancestral armor, chivalric romance, feudal bloodlines, and giant-robot fiction become seventy-foot war machines carrying generations of family pride, duty, resentment, and curses. 18. Orks — Fantasy orcs, Mad Max, British hooligan comedy, fungus horror, and invasive-species stories combine in a joyful alien ecosystem where killing the enemy may only plant the next war. 19. Tyranids — Alien, The Thing, bug-war fiction, parasite horror, and cosmic naturalism become an extragalactic appetite that does not hate humanity because hatred would interfere with digestion. 20. Genestealer Cults — Body-snatcher films, changeling folklore, secret-cult pulp, family curses, and invasion paranoia create an alien uprising that begins not in the sky but at the dinner table. 21. Necrons — Killer robots and artificial-labor nightmares combine with mummy curses, tomb kings, and cursed archaeology to produce immortal metal dynasties waking from the grave with better weapons than the living. 22. Aeldari / Drukhari — Elves, cruel fairy courts, dying-earth fiction, lost civilizations, decadent aristocrats, and vampire cities become two responses to apocalypse: mourning the fall or continuing the party forever. 23. Night Lords — Batman, slashers, serial killers, Gothic villains, Grand Guignol, and public-execution culture become terror troops who transform punishment into theatre and fear into government. 24. T'au Empire and Leagues of Votann — The T'au combine utopian science fiction, anime mecha, and benevolent imperialism, while the Votann draw from mining frontiers, company towns, clone labor, ancestor cults, and corporate survivalism. 25. [REDACTED] — ▀▀▀ thrillers, ▀▀▀▀▀▀ societies, ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀, invasion ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀, Dr. ▀▀▀▀▀▀, and ▀▀▀▀▀ mythology become a Space Marine legion so committed to ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ that truth itself is rendered operationally ▀▀▀▀▀▀.     Audio Book Stories   01 Introduction.

¡Bienvenidos, berserkers! En este nuevo episodio de La Galería Nocturna, JC Goth y Perry King se ponen "los lentes de ver" para desmenuzar sin filtros "Reliance", la esperada nueva entrega de los suecos Soen. Nos sumergimos en el debate de si este disco logra romper la grandiosa pero cómoda fórmula de su última gran trilogía (Lotus, Imperial, Memorial). Analizamos su transición hacia un metal contemporáneo mucho más choncoso, moderno y directo, que sacrifica parte de la complejidad técnica para concentrarse en la pura potencia, la pesadez y el feeling. Hacemos un análisis detallado de las canciones clave: desde el contundente primer golpe de "Primal" hasta la energía brutal de "Axis", un temazo que se llevó la calificación máxima de Perry. Discutimos la cátedra interpretativa que nos regala Joel Ekelöv, consolidándose como una de las mejores voces del metal de nuestra era, bajo la guía rítmica y elegante de Martín López en la batería. Por supuesto, no podía faltar el clásico destape físico a la vieja usanza: ponemos frente a frente la gran edición en CD contra la sobria versión de vinilo, la cual se llevó un jalón de orejas en la calificación debido a los detalles de su empaque. ¡Sirve tu trago favorito y acompáñanos en este veredicto de cinco hachas de triple mango bien afiladas!

The "rape of Nanking," the Japanese military slaughter of 300,000 Chinese civilians, is supposed to be one of the worst atrocities of the twentieth century. The Allied established Tokyo Tribunal found 100,000 dead and the Nanking tribunal, three times as many. However, a University of Nanking study by Dr. Lewis Smythe, who was in the city when the Japanese took control, found that even with underestimations the number of dead was about 31,000 people. Many of them were also armed and died from direct combat with the Japanese. The number of dead in the city itself was only a few thousands and the entire surrounding countryside had to be included to get even above 10,000 dead.  Yet today the Chinese government has made it illegal to question this and other historical narratives; they also demand perpetual apologies from the Japanese despite their more recent murder of upwards of 60 million of their own people from starvation and mass murder quotas. The 2011 JAPAN-CHINA JOINT HISTORY RESEARCH REPORT also agreed that the Imperial military was given strict orders to not behave in the ways accused. Even if some did, and thousands were murdered, the numbers are nowhere even close to triple digits. This is important for historical purposes, but also because Nanking remains a major geopolitical issue between Japan, China and even Taiwan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-7-VFiuyd0https://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/files/100512970.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://en.wikisource.org/wiki/War_Damage_in_the_Nanking_area_Dec._1937_to_Mar._1938https://news.web.nhk/newsweb/na/na-k10015198361000*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Terry Wolfe discusses his new book “Riding the Beast” on geopolitical prophecy, examining the theory that Jerusalem, rather than Rome or America, represents the “Whore of Babylon” described in the Bible. The author argues that modern Zionism and some of its activities such as the integration of Israel with the American military could fulfill ancient predictions of a transactional union between the “great prostitute” and “the beast.” He details how the U.S. functions as a modern replica of the Roman Republic, providing the structural power that supports this symbolic harlot. The dialogue explores the spiritual blindness of Israel, Noahide laws, and the transition to an aggressive technocratic imperialism. Ultimately, Wolfe suggests that this partnership will lead to a global persecution of Christians before a final divine restoration of the Jewish people.

Subscribe to https://www.rfemedia.com/ for exclusive content and updates. It's been about a 8 months since I have done any sort of military analysis on my platform because it not exactly the best mental health exercise and two and half years of posting everyday was exhausting, but times have changed. I'm getting back into it because things are escalating and the dynamics of modern warfare are changing faster than a lot of people, definitely military commanders in the Pentagon, can keep up with. Also, other conflicts are poised to pop off across the globe. There is also a fascinating lack of acceptance that warfare has been democratized against Imperial military elements like carrier strike groups and large, hard-site military bases, which can now be threatened across vast distances by relatively simple and cheap munitions. Also we really don't have those because our defense industrial base is about making money, not about force-readiness. So the pentagon is now crowd sourcing to troops for innovative ideas to regain the initiative against Iran while being actively hamstrung by Data center vulnerability in the Gulf. Its tricky. Some Americans may cheer on Iran blowing up Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia and Palantir tech targets in Saudi Arabia and other GCC states due to their massive unpopularity here at home. Some people might get ideas. The information dimensions of this conflict are uncontrollable too so check out our Colonial Outcasts live stream episode about all of this tonight at 5pm EST on YouTube or our primary Platform, Substack.

Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. The Imperial Decay of the American Order. The discussion shifts to the deterioration of American institutions, which Germanicus claims are now indistinguishable from the 3rd-century Roman imperial system. He describes a "long unraveling" of the constitutional order where Congress has become "nothing" and the Supreme Court is forced to uphold basic tenets it wasn't designed to enforce. This "emperor system" is characterized by an executive branch that is increasingly detached from reality regarding global economic stability and military resources. Furthermore, he asserts that the political establishment is too corrupt to produce genuine leaders, resulting in "pygmies" who are incapable of challenging the prevailing delusions. He warns that the U.S. is at a historical "inflection point" similar to when the Roman Empire began to collapse after centuries of dominance, noting that current leaders risk a global "economic fault" or famine by pursuing unsustainable escalations in Eurasia. (2)SULLAGuests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. The Ritual of Combat and Modern Delusions. Germanicusargues that for the Romans, war and ceremony were inextricably linked, using triumphs and gladiatorial spectacles to forge a shared identity between the people and the military. These rituals were "incarnations of the spirit of Rome" triumphing over "barbaric" enemies, providing a form of "ecstatic participatory" fulfillment. He notes a parallel in modern America, which uses "ecstatic vicarity" through high-tech war footage and video games to maintain a similar bond. However, he warns that the U.S. dangerously underestimates adversaries like Iran by viewing them as "barbarians" rather than a sophisticated, 2,500-year-old culture. He laments the loss of the "sobriety" that guided Cold War leadership—where the stakes of nuclear confrontation were understood—noting that current American policy reflects a "gods of war" complex born from the easy successes of the early 1990s. Gaius adds that this technological display creates a "fog of war" where the enemy's own capabilities and "vote" in the conflict are often ignored. (1)

On the eve of the Second World War, there was one place that was the source for all good stories — the Hotel Imperial in Vienna. It exuded luxury and power, and also was the converging spot for foreign correspondents in the 1920's and ‘30s who were warning the world about the rise of dictatorship. Historian and author Deborah Cohen takes us back in time and into the lives of these influential journalists.

The Legends of the Wild Turkey and the Imperial Eagle Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World Stephen Moss discusses the wild turkey, a bird rediscovered by Europeans in the Americas that was vital to the survival of the pilgrims. Moss argues that the turkey's plumpness and taste led to its domestication from a single line in southern Mexico, where it was originally worshipped by Central American civilizations. Interestingly, its name stems from 16th-century confusion where exotic items were often attributed to Turkish merchants. Beyond the turkey, the conversation explores the symbolic power of the eagle. While the turkey is a "smart" bird favored by Benjamin Franklin, the eagle became a definitive symbol of predatory power for the Romans and later the Nazis, who famously altered its depiction to look toward Russia. Despite the eagle's associations with conquest, it remains a pervasive symbol of American authority on the Great Seal and currency. (1)1838 CORMORANTS
