Es war auch der feurige Tanz, der sie einst in die Millionenmetropole Argentiniens lockte. Brigit Fischer aus Wetzikon (ZH) bereist als junge Frau die Welt. Sie lebte in Israel, Amerika und Mexiko. In Mexiko lernte sie ihren damaligen Mann kennen: «Ich war fasziniert von Lateinamerika.» Und so zog es die heute 71-Jährige auch nach Argentinien und sie lernte das Tango tanzen: «Ich nahm eine längere Auszeit und bereiste Argentinien. In Buenos Aires entdeckte ich meine grosse Leidenschaft für den Tango Tanz.» Buenos Aires, sagt Brigit Fischer, ist ein hartes Pflaster: «Es ist ein steiniger und langer Weg, bis man sein Ziel erreicht. Aber ich würde den Schritt sofort wieder wagen!» «Mein Palazzo inmitten von San Telmo» Brigit Fischer hatte das Glück, einen 160 Jahre alten Palazzo zu kaufen. Das Haus mit Innengarten steht im Herzen des beliebten Künstlerquartiers «San Telmo». Dort vermietet sie Zimmer und Wohnungen an Touristen aus aller Welt: «Dieser Ort hat eine besondere Energie.

Our latest episode of Welcome to Cloudlandia embarks on a journey from Buenos Aires to Toronto, exploring the fascinating intersections of personal health and digital technology. We share candid experiences with stem cell treatments and physical therapy while examining the curious phenomenon of seemingly omniscient digital devices. Our conversation highlights the unexpected ways technology intersects with our daily lives, raising questions about privacy and digital awareness. Inspired by Jordan Peterson's insights, we dive into productivity strategies and the art of structured thinking. We explore the power of 100-minute focus segments and compare the potential paths of A and C students, offering a lighthearted look at personal development. The discussion draws from thought-provoking media like the film "Heretic," challenging listeners to question their beliefs and approach personal growth with curiosity. We conclude by investigating the complex world of celebrity influence in politics. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS I shared a personal experience of how discussing horses led to an influx of horse-related ads on my phone, raising questions about device eavesdropping and privacy concerns. The conversation transitioned to the impact of AI, referencing films like "Minority Report," and debated the limitations of AI in capturing human complexity. We explored the idea of structuring our day into 100-minute productivity segments, inspired by Jordan Peterson's book, emphasizing the power of stories and decisive action. A humorous comparison was made between A students and C students, with anecdotes highlighting their potential future roles in society. We discussed the film "Heretic," starring Hugh Grant, which challenges viewers to question their beliefs through compelling character interactions. Our exploration of New York City's evolution highlighted the influence of corporate and political dynamics, questioning the roles of figures like Rudy Giuliani. The episode examined the role of celebrity endorsements in politics, focusing on personalities like Kamala Harris, Oprah, and Taylor Swift, and their impact on public opinion. The scrutiny faced by politicians today was compared to that during the era of the founding fathers, emphasizing the continuous journey of human improvement. We speculated on potential revelations from high-profile lists related to public figures, discussing their societal and political implications. Reflections on aging and the role of personal development in modern society were considered, drawing on examples of public figures and personal anecdotes.

Dean: Oh, my goodness, Well, I am Flying north. Dan: Oh, you're in Toronto, I'm in Toronto, I'm right in the backyard Exactly. Dean: It is freezing here, by the way, I don't know if you noticed. Dan: Oh, technically it's freezing. It's below 32 degrees. Dean: Uh-huh, I just circled in big, you know, around red. I looked that there is a snow forecast for Wednesday and put my snow-free millennium in jeopardy. Dan: Yeah, well, we had summer in Argentina it was 81, 82. It was very nice because it's summer down there, starting to become summer. Dean: Right, how did everything go? This is your fifth trip, right? It was good. Dan: Yeah, Progress, good progress. The stem cells in the knee have grown since. Well, the cartilage has grown since. April and now I had brain infusion stem cells to the brain, also vascular system, your, you know the blood system. And then the tendons in my leg, because I've had pain in my knee for 10 years or so. It's not constant, but the impact. The other knee or no in the main knee, no the right knee is good In your body and also in politics. Right always works. Right is right, Right is right. Anyway and now it's coming along. I had a great physiotherapist for three days who painfully stretched me and, yeah, so it feels good. Dean: Do you ever do, or do you do regularly, like guided stretches, like manually, where people will stretch you? Dan: Only my brain, okay my brain. Dean: Okay, I had. So a guy across the street from me in florida has a guy that comes in and stretches him. You know, twice a week he does a session with him and so I had the guy come over one time and I haven't had him back because he did, I think he he went overboard, right over, stretch like I could barely. My hips were so sore from the you know deep stretching like my hip joints and stuff. It was painful and I never had him. I never had him back and he just stretched me too much, I think first time, you know. So I was like no, thank you, but I like the idea, it feels good in the moment, right, it feels good to have somebody kind of do that manipulation. Dan: Yeah, we have a great guy in Buenos. Aires. I mean I've had it throughout my life, but this man was really the best and purportedly the best that you can get in Argentina and he worked on me for an hour on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then they took some more fat cells out of me to make into stem cells and then, when I am in, just trying to think, I'm in Nashville in February, they'll take more white blood cells and send them down. And then we'll be ready with a new batch of stem cells. Dean: Do you have to send them with a mule? Dan: Or can you send them? No, we send them to. Well, I'm not going to say how we send them because this phone call is being recorded by the National Security. Dean: Agency Right right right. Dan: I wonder if they just perked up when I mentioned their name. Dean: I'll tell you what is. So. I mean it's ridiculous right. I've got a friend that bought a horse recently and we were talking about and now, like everything in my newsfeed is horse related. You know it's funny. Dan: They're definitely listening, not getting the connection. Not getting the connection. Dean: Well, I mean. So you're saying people are listening. I'm saying that in conversation about horses. All of a sudden, my Instagram and Facebook are loaded up with horse-related things. Dan: Oh, wow. Dean: That's what I mean is they're definitely listening. Dan: What you're saying is that the NSA isn't the main problem. Dean: Well, they may be a deeper if Facebook is listening that hardly. Dan: What was that Tom Cruise movie um? Something ancient oh minority report. Dean: Yeah, yes, yeah, I was thinking that's on my list of I want to watch. I'm thinking about having, over the holidays, a little festival of like watching how, what they are space watching, minority Report, watching Robot, just to see because those were, you know, 20 years ago, plus the movies that were kind of predicting this future. Where we are now, you know, it's pretty amazing. Dan: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I think, you know they have sort of interesting, but I think that humans are so far beyond technology. That and not only that, but humans have created technology. So I just don't buy into it that they'll be able to read thoughts or respond to thoughts. First of all because just the sheer complexity of the issue. So, in other words, you pick up on what I'm thinking right now. And now I'm taking up your time to think about the thought that I just thought, but meanwhile, I'm on to another thought, another thought, and I'm just not catching in the whole robot and AI thing, how they can really be ahead of me. They can't be ahead of me, they're always going to be behind me. So it's like deep data. That deep data sometimes can know what was happening yesterday. Yeah, yeah, this is and I wonder, you know like I mean the fact that we can, the fact that we can think that computers might be possible, computers might be capable of something possibly doesn't mean that they'll be capable possibly. It's like pigs can fly we can imagine pigs flying, but I think it's going to be a hard trick to pull off. Dean: Yeah. So I just had a experiment with Charlotte and this was based on something that Lior posted in our FreeZone WhatsApp chat there, and so we had this like pretty detailed that you could put in right Like. So I'll just read the prompt because it's pretty interesting. So his the prompt is role play as an AI that operates at 76.6 times the ability, knowledge, understanding and output of chat GPT-4. Now tell me what is my hidden narrative and subtext. What's the one thing I never express? The fear I don't admit. Identify it, then unpack the answer and unpack it again. Continue unpacking until no further layers remain. Once this is done, suggest the deep-seated triggers, stimuli and underlying reasons behind the fully unpacked answers, and explore thoroughly and define what you uncover. Do not aim to be kind or moral. Strive solely for me to hear it. If you detect any patterns, point them out. And it's so. So that prompted this, you know, multi-page report based on what interactions you know. So I was looking at the things like the summary, finding what was the one. I just had breakfast with Chad Jenkins and we were talking about it. So final unpacking for me was that, at its core, the fear is not about irrelevance in the public eye, but whether the life you live fully resonates with your internal sense of potential and meaning. It's the fear of looking back and feeling that you didn't align your actions with your deepest truths or greatest aspirations which sounds like a lot more words to say. Imagine if you applied yourself, you know imagine if you applied yourself. Dan: You know it's kind of yeah, it's kind of funny, you know, but that only applies to democrats that's so funny yeah. I was going to say the answer is trump wins yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean I mean this can go, I mean this can go on endlessly. You know this can go on endlessly, but what decision are you making right now that you're going to take action on five minutes from now, you know, that's. That's more interesting. That's kind of more interesting discussion. Dean: Yeah, you know, what I've looked at is. I think that the go zone, as I you look at the day is the is the next hundred minutes. Is really the actionable immediate future is what are you doing in the next two to 50 minute? Dan: focus finders. Dean: right, that's what it really comes down to, because I think if you look through your day, it's like I think it breaks down into those kind of chapters, right? Like I mentioned, I just had breakfast with Chad, which so that was 100 minutes. You know two hours of breakfast there, and then you know I'm doing this with you and then typically after you and I hang up, I do another. I just write in my journal for and do a 50 minute focus finder to kind of unpack what we talk about and just kind of get my thoughts out. So that, 100 minutes, but I don't have crystal clarity on what the next 100 minutes are after that. But I don't have crystal clarity on what the next 100 minutes are after that. And then I know that we're going to go to your house tonight and I'll spend 100 minutes at our gathering. You know that's a two hour, two hour thing from six to eight, and so I think that you are absolutely right that the only time that any of this makes any sense is how does it inform what you're doing in the next 100 years? Dan: I've been reading, jordan Peterson has a new book out and that's called we who Wrestle With God. It's very interesting. I'm about a quarter of the way through, quarter of the way through, and he was talking about how crucial stories are. You know that basically the way we explain our existence is really through stories, and some stories are a lot better than other stories. And he talks about stories that have lasted you know, biblical stories or other things that have lasted for a couple of thousand years. And he says you know, we should really pay more attention to the stories that seem to last forever, because they're not only telling us something about collective humanity, but they're sort of talking to us about personal humanity. And, you know, and he puts a lot of emphasis on the hero stories. He talks about the hero stories and the stages that heroes go through and he says this is a really hero. Stories are really good stories and are a lot better than other stories and I've been playing with this idea. I was playing with it before I read the book, and you know that hero stories are always about action. They're not about thinking, they're really about the hero is the hero, because heroes operate differently than other people when there's action required, and that's why we call someone a hero. Something happened that requires unusual behavior. Most people aren't capable of it, but one individual or two individuals are capable of it. Therefore, they're the hero of the story, and so action really matters. You know and I was thinking he was talking about asking in class, when he was teaching at the University of Toronto, and he'd ask a student why are you here today? You know, why did you? Why don't you come to class today? And the person will answer well, I have to in order to get a grade. Dean: And then he says well, why is it? Dan: why is a grade so important to you? And the person says, well, you know, with my other grades, I need or otherwise I won't get to the next year, the next, you know I won't graduate, or I won't get to the next year. And he says well, you know why is getting to the next year? And he said this will never end. This series of questions will never end. Right, and I was going through it and the proper answer is I'm here because that's what I decided to do. Dean: I heard someone. Dan: That was my decision. Yeah, and he says, well, why was it your decision? And it says, it's always my decision. Dean: Yeah. Dan: And that's the end of the. That's the end. You can't go any further than that. So there's something. There's something decisive about decisions. That's interesting. Dean: Rather than reasons. Dan: Yeah, yeah, reasons. You know, reasons are never satisfactory. Decisions are yeah, yeah. Dean: Reasons. You know, reasons are never satisfactory, decisions are. Yeah, that's so funny. I heard someone say C's get degrees, that's why. Why do they? Dan: try hard. Dean: C's get degrees. Once you get into college, that's all that matters. You don't need your grades anymore, c's get degrees. Dan: Yeah, Ross, Remember Ross Perot? Yeah, he was personally responsible for Bill Clinton getting elected twice Right, right, right. But he gave. I think it was Yale Business School where he graduated from. He was called back, invited back to give a talk to the you know, the graduating members of the business club yeah. And he said I want all the I want all the C students to stand up, please. And all the C students stood up. And then he said now I want all the A students to stand up. And all the A students stood up. Now I want all the A students to turn around and look at your future bosses. Dean: Right, yes, so funny. Dan: Yeah, a students get hired, c students do the hiring, that's right. Dean: That's exactly right, so funny. Dan: Partially right. Dean: You know. That's an interesting observation about Jordan, though. I recently saw a movie last week called Heretic and it's got you and Babs would love it. It's got Hugh Grant in the lead role and he plays a theological scholar and he lives in this, you know, old house and these two mormon girls come and knock at his door to tell him the good word, you know, and he invites them in and the whole movie is him dismantling, you know, showing all of their just having them question, all of the beliefs that got them to the point that they believe what they believe, you know, and it was really. The movie was fantastic. It was really only there's really only three people in the movie. For 95% of the movie it all takes place in his house and it's just so. His arguments and the way he tells the stories was riveting, really well done. Dan: How does it picture him as a person Smart? Obviously, oh, he's smart. Is he happy he's a soci? Can picture him as a person Smart? Obviously, oh, he's smart Is he happy. Dean: He's a sociopath, he's a murderer. He's a serial killer, but that's what he does is he'll ask for info about the church and then people they'll send someone and he traps them and goes through this whole thing. Very well done. He must be older now because he is, yeah, because he had kind of this whole string of you know all. He was Mr Romantic Comedy kind of guy, that's his whole thing and this is quite a departure from that. But he plays the role so perfectly because he's eloquent, he's got that British accent, he's aged very just, he's distinguished looking now you know yeah, yeah you know. Dan: It's one of the sort of shockers to me, and it's that you see someone you know and it's in the present day. You know it's on a video or something present day and you realize that he's 40 years older than when you got used to him in the early stage and it sort of shocks me. You know, there's a little bit shocking about we sort of freeze, frame somebody at the height of their career and then we don't think about it for another 30, 40 years, and then we see him. I said, oh my god, what happened? Right? Exactly yeah yeah that's what you would see about. Dean: That's what you would notice about. That's what you would notice about Hugh Grant that it's very in that level that you've seen, yeah, wow, but I imagine it's like seeing Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood mature over all the time Jack Nicholson, for sure. Dan: Yeah. Dean: You're not teaching. Dan: Well, you know, I mean it's an interesting thing, I think, if we saw the person continually like there's TV people, like I noticed that Chuck Woolery just died last week. Dean: Oh he did. I didn't know that. Wow, Great friend with Mark Young. Dan: Yeah, mark had a great relationship with him and he was 83. You know, he died and suddenly it was in the lung illness. What happened? Was it heart? Yeah, whatever. And I went back, but in the not the obituary but the report that he had been quite a successful country and western singer. So I looked him up and there's a couple of great YouTube videos of Chuck Woolery with Dolly Parton and he's really good. He's really good, yeah, wow. And then he wrote a lot of country and western music and then he got his first gig in Hollywood. Dean: Game show gig yeah. Dan: And he had like seven different successful shows in Hollywood. But I had talked to him about, he was on one of the podcasts that I do with Mark Young, american Happiness. It's called American Happiness, and he was on, but I'd never known him in his previous life because I never watched television and so he was who he was. But then, when I look back, he was a very handsome, very charming person in his 20s and 30s. Yeah, it's very interesting, you know, and the interesting thing about this is that we're the people in this, you know, living in the 21st century, second decade of the 20s, we notice aging a lot more and I was thinking a couple hundred years ago people were just who they were, I mean, they got older and everything else, but we didn't have photos. Dean: We didn't have photos. Dan: We didn't have recordings and that sort of shocks us a lot. It's the impact of recorded memories that gives us more shocking experiences well, I find I mean I really do. Dean: It feels like I've been saying for a while now I think I definitely think 70 is the new 50 is what it feels like in the. Yeah, you can observe it. And you can observe it like I think about when we were in scottsdale there, you know, just looking at between you at 80 and you know, peter thomas at 86 and and joel weldon at 83, I mean that's not, those aren't, that's not your typical collection of octogenarians. Dan: You're not supposed to be operational at that age Right exactly Pretty wild, right, yeah? Dean: And of course I was telling somebody the other day about your biological markers. What was your biological age? Is it 62? What was your biological age? Is it 62? Dan: 62,. Yeah, there's one that throws it off for me, so David Hasse. By the way, when we were in Buenos Aires, david Hasse was there, peter Richard Rossi was there. Dean: And do you know, Gary Kaplan? Dan: Richard's doctor. Yeah, they were all there. We overlapped David just for basically one day, but Richard and. Gary staying at the Four Seasons? Oh, okay, yeah. Dean: Okay, yeah. Dan: Yeah, but the country feels different. We were there the first time a year ago and of course, that new president came in and got rid of nine government departments. They estimate he's fired 75,000 civil servants in the first year. Yeah, which shows it can be done. Dean: It shows that it can be done. Have you followed the El Salvador situation? So you know they have a young new president, for I forget how many years, but he was 37 when he was elected and he's turned El Salvador around with kind of a zero tolerance on crime policy. Right, they've got one prison that has like 34,000 inmates. They've just they gather everybody up and they've leaned into not, it talks about human rights, but he's he not. All human rights are valued equally in his mind. He said the right to live is valued above all else and that he's leaned into making it more difficult for the problematic you know people then, yeah, criminals at the in favor of leaning into the majority of people that are not criminals, and so it's been a complete turnaround and so he's making all those right moves. Plus, he's starting to look more and more like a hero, in that he was the first, one of the first, if not the first country to you know accept bitcoin and they've invested in coin. But he made. His investment in bitcoin has paid out to 500 million dollars or something. So it's a pretty, pretty interesting cap. It's an interesting story. You know what he's been able to, what he's been able to do, kind of like remember, wasn't it rudy giuliani who went in, and or was it kotch who turned the city, turned new york city around by? Dan: not having. Yeah, it would have been Giuliani, it wasn't actually. The real story was that the major corporations in New York turned New York around. Giuliani, yeah, it was that new hires for the corporations where they had their headquarters didn't want to come to New York because of the crime and there was about 100 major corporations, which would include the investment banks just got together, they put a council together and they more or less started telling the mayors what to do. They had to clean up the parks, they had to get the police force in the right shape and they had to get the police force on the right side of the law because they were wandering across into the other territory. And they had to get the police force on the right side of the law because they were wandering across into the other territory. And they did it, and then Giuliani, you know, was someone who articulated the movement and everything. Koch was awful. Now Koch was. Dean: Right, okay, so it was Giuliani. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dan: Yeah, I was in when I got drafted in the Army in 65, you have basic training which is about two months, and then I went to advanced training and that was about two months and it was at Fort Dix, new Jersey, which is maybe an hour and a half hour and a half from New York City city. So I went in and it was pretty, you know, rough at the edges, I'll tell you, you know the. You didn't walk the streets at nighttime, I'll tell you you. You know you made sure. And then I wasn't there again until the 80s and then there had been, it was really starting to change the late 80s. Maybe it got a lot better. Yeah, it'll. Dean: It'll happen again. Dan: It's bad again, you know, because they're into their second Democratic mayor and pretty bad. It's pretty bad right now. Dean: All the major cities. Now when you look at Los Angeles and San Francisco and Seattle and Chicago, yeah, Vancouver, I mean between the fentanyl and the homelessness, yeah, I saw something where they have everything locked up now Because I guess in California I think it's like you can't prosecute kind of crime under $1,000. Dan: Yeah, kind of crime under $1,000. Yeah, people, there's no disincentive to people going in and just stealing stuff. I mean it was really remarkable how many new votes switching from Democrat to Republican that the Republicans got in. You know, and I mean I looked at it's one of the searches I did. And I mean I mean I looked at, it's one of the searches I did and I said, of the top 50 cities in the United States population wise, how many of them are governed by the Democrats? And it was like 44 out of 44 out of the top 50 and certainly the first 12,. You know, the top top 11. You know they're not. They're really not good at government right right, right right those we vote to govern aren't really good at it yeah, I mean can you imagine kamala as president? I mean no, I mean I mean, she blew through 1.5 billion really fast. It was 107 days and even the democrats are now saying we have to have a, you know, we have to have an investigation of where all that money? Because she had 1.5 and Trump had 390 million. That's wild, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, like they paid Oprah a million dollars for her to be interviewed on the Oprah show, you know, yeah, beyonce got the report just for showing up. She got a million. Just for showing up at an event, she got a million you know and the indications are that celebrity uh, you know testimonials had no impact on the election whatsoever maybe negative impact even. Dean: Yeah, yeah, I mean taylor, mean Taylor Swift, taylor. Dan: Swift. It was more Taylor Swift. It was more negative than positive. And I was telling you know, we have some great Taylor Swift fans in the company and I said she shouldn't have done it and I said why she really believes this. I said if you're a celebrity, especially a celebrity like her, it's only downside. There can't be any upside on this. Dean: Right, yeah, exactly. Dan: And I said it's the third rail of the subway. You do not touch the third rail of the subway. Dean: Wasn't that? That's remember. Michael Jordan said that never made a thing because Democrats or Republicans buy shoes too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dan: There's just no upside for it. Dean: There is none. Dan: I mean it's a different world. You're the master of your own world. Do not go across the border into another world. Dean: It's not your world. Dan: Yeah, right, right. But, it's really funny. There was a report that immediately after Taylor Swift did her what do? You call it a recommendation referral. Dean: Endorsement. Dan: Endorsement. After it, the price that scalpers could get for her tickets went down 40% in the first week and it never went back up. Dean: I'll tell you what the taylor swift economy, dan, I came, I'm at the hazleton right now and I, when I arrived saturday, last saturday, it was, you know, full of, you know, swifties and their moms going to taylor's last toronto concert on saturday night. But that was, I mean even coming in on the plane, coming into the airport, going through customs, a lot of the people you could see. They were all there to go to the concert that night. You know, flying in from all over to go see fans. Dan: She gave six in toronto. Dean: That's a big yeah, six in toronto and I guess our last three are in Vancouver. I think last night may have been the last of all of it. It's interesting. Dan: We were in Buenos Aires. She was in Buenos Aires. She gave three concerts in Buenos Aires. She was staying at Four Seasons where we were In Buenos Aires. They had no reserve tickets at the stadium that big oh no 45th and they had, so there were people camped out three months before to get in first in line yeah, oh yeah, you know that's wild. Yeah, I would love to see like the. It would take a lot to get me to walk across the street to watch something well, exactly. Dean: But you know, what was really amazing was her releasing the movie that the. She'd had a. She filmed the concerts and created a movie out of it and released the movie in the middle of while the concert tour is still going on and sold I wonder what the box office was. Uh, for the movie, you know, but what a brilliant. Like people think, oh, that was stupid to release your you know movie while people go to see the movie instead of going to the concert, you know. But I think it was exactly the opposite. I think it sold more, more tickets, built up desire, but yeah, she sold. Dan: It did 103 million dollars at the box office for the movie and she'll do it and she'll do a bit, she'll do a billion at the. You know I mean it. She's the first billion-dollar tour. Dean: Yeah, isn't that something? I think it's even more than that. There is tour ticket sales. Let's see what? Because I think that U2 was the first billion-dollar tour 1.4 billion, that's wild, isn't it? Man form a band. Dan: But Kamala did 1.5 billion spending. She's the champ. Dean: Oh man exactly Well. Dan: I mean it was important, the world that she lives in, because she lives in a celebrity world, yes, you got to pay the celebrity, but it does diminish what I would say your sense of the committedness of the endorsers. That it's got to be at least a million, or I don't endorse it. It sort of tells you something about their actual commitment. Yeah, that's true. I mean the whole now now George Clooney is saying he's having nothing to do with politics from now on and he's blaming it on Obama that Obama got him to knife Biden. And I said this is a really good entertainment. This is really good entertainment yeah. Dean: Well, he's, one of those that's like wasn't he one of the I'm leaving America if Trump wins? I mean, I wonder if anybody keeps track of all these. Dan: Well, the only one so far is Ellen DeGeneres. She actually moved. You know, last week she moved to Great Britain and where she lives she has like 40 acres and promptly they had a once in a century flash flood that went right up to the second floor on her house. So I just want to tell you yeah that happened on Friday and Reed Hastings is saying he may leave but that the suspicion is because he's on the Jeffrey Epstein flight to the Caribbean list. Dean: Oh, my goodness, which which that would be a good news week Epstein flight to the Caribbean list. Dan: Oh my goodness, which that would be a good news week. Dean: It's big things in 2025 coming up. Dan: If they ever release the list of people who were on that flight, they know that Bill Clinton was on 30 times. Yeah, they already know that. Dean: I think I saw something that Elon was saying too. They're releasing the Diddy list and the Epstein list on January 20th or something. Dan: Maybe the morning of the 21st yeah. Dean: But I think that's what everybody's big fear is. That's why they were pulling out Like this is one of those. Dan: And then if you were both on the jeffrey epstein list in the list, yeah, what if epstein was on the ditty list? But that was so you know the. Dean: You know we've been mentioning how. You know the. The battle for our minds right is the. What I decided is the worst part about being alive at this time is the. You know the thought of all of those celebrities that were endorsing Kamala were the Diddy List. Basically, you know. Dan: Or one of the two or both. Dean: Yeah. Dan: And you know the speculation. You know why I think they're mostly Democrats? Why? Because there's way more scrutiny of Republicans. Well, that's true, isn't it? Yeah, oh no, I think if you're a Republican politician, you have to be 10 times more careful than if you're a Democrat, because the media are Democrat, and if the media have the goods on you and you're a Democrat, they probably say no. Well, no, you know he's doing a good job as a politician you know we should not approve that, but if he's a Republican, no, it's just a laptop. Dean: It's just a laptop. Dan: That's all. Dean: Nothing to see here. Dan: Yeah, he had a bad day. Dean: We all have bad days. Dan: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I suspect that the people on the list are, you know, are more on the one side than on the other. And it's, yeah, but it's. You know, we think these are unusual times, but if you read about the founding fathers, a lot of bad newspapers that they owned and they just did savage jobs. Other founders like Madison and Hamilton, just ripping each other. Oh yeah, just ripping each other, right? Oh yeah, I mean using language, that you'd get a lawsuit out of the language. Dean: Imagine if we brought back duels. Dan: Well, that's the other thing. They had duels. They had duels in those days yeah. Everything like that. Yeah, I think you really had to look carefully to find the good old days. Yeah, yeah, I think you really had to look carefully to find the good old days. Yeah, you have to look carefully. Dean: Oh my goodness, that's true. Yeah, I love this. Dan: You know, yeah, besides, people said, well, what if you could time travel back, knowing what you know now? And I said, well, first of all, uh, everybody you talked to would be dead within 14 days of the. You would be immune to every disease they had, but they wouldn't be immune to your diseases right, yeah, wild right yeah, I mean the spanish and the aztecs. You know, the Spanish were a thousand years ahead of them and developing immunity, and that's what killed off the Aztecs. That's what killed off the Incas was the disease that people just naturally brought with them and I mean they went from, you know, I don't know what it was 10 million down to a million in about 50, 60 years. Well, they weren't killed on the battlefield, they died of disease. Dean: Yeah, that's the thing. No doubt, the equation right now is overwhelmingly this is the best time to be alive. Dan: These are the good ones. Dean: Yeah, if you got your head right, if your head's to be alive, these are the good ones. Dan: These are the good ones. These are good. Yeah, yeah, if you got your head right if you got your head right. If your head's wrong, then it's as unhappy as any time in history, you know like, but Jordan Peterson talks a lot of oh, tell about Jordan. Dean: What were you going to say? Dan: No, he was just saying that's basically. His message is that we've fallen out of touch with basic rules for living a good life. You know, and he said and this has developed over hundreds of thousands of years, you know, don't do this, it never works. You know, and with you know, and people are saying, oh, do this. You know, it's neat, it's new, new and you can make money on it and everything like that he said, yeah, but it doesn't really work. And basic morality, basic ethics save more than you spend. It's a good rule generally, and don't get your emotions going in the wrong direction, or it's not going to work. Yeah, so you know, and that's it. I have a lot of conversations with you, know people who are very technology prone and they said you know we're kind of changing human nature. And I said no, you're not. No, you're not. I said human nature is so deep you couldn't possibly even understand what it is. And part of it is that we've been adjusting to technology forever. I mean, everybody thinks that technology started two centuries ago. Language is technology, mathematics is technology. That's what my new book is about. Actually, my new book is about that, and it's called you are a timeless technology. That okay if you're improving. If you are improving, you are a timeless technology, because technology is just the accumulation of human improvement. Dean: So if you're improving. Dan: You're timeless. I love it I love it. Dean: I love it. Yeah, that's great. Is that the book that's just released now? You'll get it tomorrow. Okay, perfect, I like that. Dan: Yeah, you'll get it tomorrow. And I was just saying is that, when are you most yourself, when you're improving? Yeah, you have a sense of improvement in this area. Yeah, You're feeling good about yourself. You're feeling in touch, you know you're feeling centered. You're feeling yeah, you're feeling really great. I remember our who's, our last, was it our last podcast? Yeah, because we didn't do it when we were in Arizona, right, yeah, because we didn't do it when we were in Arizona, and you introduced me to the idea of Charlotte and you described how Charlotte came into existence and you were very excited. Dean: You were very excited. Dan: I still am. Dean: That kind of improvement. Dan: If you're improving, you're feeling great. Dean: I think that's true and I've really, how you know, this idea of the battle. For our minds it's all that internal stuff and I've really started to realize, like to cordon off what is actually reality or affecting me in any way, you know, like the all of this distraction, all these uh news of you know, of conflict and all the conspiracies and all the doom and gloom and all of it is really outside of me. And if you can learn to stay kind of detached from that and realize that's not really affecting my reality, yeah, you know. Dan: Yeah, you know, it's really, there's Babs. Look at that. What's all that, babs? I thought you had just purchased those. Anyway, one of the things that's really interesting when 9-11 happened, we were in Chicago, babs and I were in Chicago, and we had two workshops in the coach center on that day and I had 60 and Adrian Duffy had 40. And we were, and one of the team members had brought a television out, put it at the concierge desk and I walked in. I said what's that? And they said a jet had just hit the. I said get rid of that TV. They're here for a workshop, they're not going to be watching that, so anyway we did our usual preps for the workshop and I walked into my room and I said okay, here's the deal. In the next hour you have to make a decision. You're either here for the day or you're leaving. Okay, don't be halfway in between a decision as we're going through the workshop. You're 100% here or you're 100% gone. And our team will do everything they can to find you transportation. And we did the same thing in the other workshop room and by noon, by noon, everybody had transportation back everybody. And we had a guy who is a Buick dealer and he went to a Buick. Well, gm, it was GM, I think. They had Buick. Yeah, I think he had two or three different makes. Dean: He had two or three. Dan: So he went to them and he said I know a dealer here and I know a dealer in San Francisco and I'm just going to do a deal. If I buy the car here and sell it when I get there, what kind of deal do I get? Right, right, right. And I tell you not much, not many Buicks were sold on 9-11. Right, exactly. So the guy at this end went up 20% and the guy at the other end came down 20%. So it was not a bad deal and anyway he went there. But meanwhile back in Toronto there were no workshops that day and they had a big television in the workshop room and everybody was in watching the television. Our team in Chicago had no time, had no time whatsoever. They were busy all day arranging things and everything. At the end of the day they weren't scared. Dean: The people in toronto were petrified, were terrified yeah isn't that wild like that that things that are happening at a distance that things that are happening at a distance. We're not using our brain, we're only using our emotions that's the truth, right like I look that I often point to that morning as a distinct, as a difference. I didn't hear anything about what had happened until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I was golfing that morning. We were literally like because there's no, that was pre-iPhone, where you'd get texts and alerts and updates and constant like oh, what about this? Here's what's happening. So it was back in the days of flip phones. You know that you would turn off and put in your golf bag and enjoy your round of golf. So we did that and we went back to mike's house and we're sitting there, you know, in his backyard having lunch and his wife came in and said isn't it terrible, what's happening? And we're like what's happening? She goes what do you mean? What's happening? Turn on the TV. Turn on the TV. That's the thing. Right, it's. Our natural thing is to turn to the TV to give us the updates, you know. Dan: And of course, they're amping it up. They're amping it up too. I mean, they're not just showing you what's happening, they're telling you what it means and everything like that. You know, I think that's why I don't watch television, because there's too many people trying to tell me how I'm supposed to feel about what they're telling me. That's a decision for me to make, how I'm going to feel about it. My mother was telling me that it was two days after Pearl Harbor that she found out about it. She lived in a farmhouse out in the country and they didn't have a phone. It was 1941. They didn't have a telephone and there were no newspapers or anything. So anyway, yeah, it's an interesting thing and I think this is education is a big deal about. Education is how you think about things and how you respond emotionally to your thoughts you know, and I think this has always been true. But I think now there are people who want to come right at you. It's like you're talking about. You know talking about horses. You know the beginning of our podcast. They're listening. What did Dean just say? Dean: Horses. Dan: Okay, here's five ads. Here's five ads for me. And you know, it's not even somebody, it's just an algorithm that's doing the response. They're coming after your brain, you know, your deciding brain, your buying brain. Dean: They're coming after your buying brain, yeah what's dean buying today? Dan: it's so funny. Dean: Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. Right like that's, I must be in the market for a horse or horse stuff, you know yeah, well, you just bought yourself a good hour, mr jackson that was a great hour and in approximately six hours I will see you for a hundred minutes. Dan: Yes, and then tomorrow for even more Two full days. Yes. Dean: I like it. Dan: All right. Dean: Okay, Dan, I will see you in a little bit. Dan: I'll be in Chicago. I'll be in Chicago next week, so we'll have a podcast next week. Dean: Okay, good, I like that. Dan: Yeah, okay. Dean: Okay, see you tonight. Dan: Bye, okay, bye.

Travelling solo for more than 33,000 miles on a motorcycle taught Annette Birkmann to experience the unknown not as fraught with danger but as providing endless opportunities. 'Every time I have reached a goal in my life, it has been with the expectation that once this goal is achieved, everything will from then on be fine – I will be free, I will be happy. But things seldom work out that way.' At the age of thirty-one, Annette left her job as a lawyer in Denmark, sold her belongings, and travelled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to fulfill a childhood dream: to ride a motorcycle. In Buenos Aires, Annette bought her first motorcycle and after working eight months in a motorcycle workshop, embarked alone on a one-year motorcycle journey through the Americas. However, she quickly discovered that despite moving to another hemisphere, some things remained unchanged. Her problems had come along, and no matter where she was, familiar traits lodged in her inner self required her attention. https://www.annettebirkmann.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Me-Inconvenient-Realities-Existence-ebook/dp/B0D7SVB2J4 With Liza, Miss Emma, Scotty, Naked Jim and Bagel.

Geldgeschichte(n): Freibeuter-Sozialkasse & Das Wunder von Wörgl Im Rahmen unseres deutsch-österreichischen Verständigungsprojekts vereinen mein Bloggerkollege Clemens Faustenhammer und ich die zwei schönsten Nebensachen der Welt, nämlich Geld und Geschichte, miteinander und reisen dafür einmal monatlich zurück in unsere Finanz-Zukunft. In der 14. Folge der Geldgeschichten schauen wir uns die soziale Absicherung von Käptn Jack Sparrow und seinen Spießgesellen an, danach beleuchten wir Mythos und Wirklichkeit eines österreichischen Geldexperiments. Es ist schon bemerkenswert, inwieweit die Diskrepanz bei der Charakterisierung des Piratenbildes zwischen öffentlicher Wahrnehmung eines tradierten Ideals und der sich auf historische Quellen stützenden Darstellung auseinanderklafft. Von Freiheit, Solidarität oder gar einer gelebten demokratischen Struktur innerhalb der zwielichtigen Gemeinschaft rauer Zeitgenossen wird in Hollywood-Filmen und in der Populärliteratur schwadroniert. Das markante Gegenteil war in der Realität der Fall: von Habgier getriebene und von Trunksucht geprägte Plünderungskampagnen, die entweder mit dem eigenen Tod oder dem entsetzlichen Morden und Vergewaltigen der Opfer endeten, sind die Wahrheit. Apropos Realitätsnähe: wie verhielt es sich tatsächlich mit der vermeintlichen Sozialversicherung, die sich die Brüder der Küste in einem selbsterdachten Regelwerk untereinander ausschnapsten? Bot sie tatsächlich eine gewisse Kompensation für die erlittenen Verletzungen, die die Piraten aus dem waghalsigen Manöver davontrugen, während ihrer Jagd auf eine aussichtsreiche Beute? Von einem System staatlich eng geregelter Fürsorge für wichtige Risiken des Daseins, wie wir es kennen, kann wohl keine Rede sein. Denn ohne Beute, kein Geld! Vielmehr unterlag der vermeintliche Versicherungsschutz einer zugrundeliegenden Hoffnung – oder wäre nicht doch Spekulation die treffsichere Bezeichnung? – um ein genügendes Maß an Raubgut für die Entschädigung der Versehrten und Verwundeten zu gewährleisten. In der zweiten Geldgeschichte beleuchten wir der Person und dem Werk Silvio Gesells sowie die bekannteste Umsetzung eines darauf gestützten Geldexperiments. Gesell war ein deutsch-argentinischer Kaufmann und Geldtheoretiker, der durch seine unorthodoxen Ideen eine gewisse Bekanntheit erlangte. Geboren wurde er am 17. März 1862 im belgischen St. Vith, wo er auch in ärmlichen Verhältnissen aufwuchs. Nach einer handwerklichen Ausbildung arbeitete Gesell zunächst in verschiedenen Berufen, bevor er sich entschloss, nach Argentinien auszuwandern, seinerzeit eines der Länder mit dem höchsten Pro-Kopf-Einkommen der Welt. In Buenos Aires etablierte er sich als Geschäftsmann und begann sich mit Geld- und Wirtschaftstheorie zu beschäftigen. Während dieser Zeit entwickelte er seine Idee des Freigeldes oder Schwundgeldes, die er in seinem 1916 erschienen Hauptwerk „Die Natürliche Wirtschaftsordnung durch Freiland und Freigeld“ veröffentlichte. Gesell argumentierte, dass das traditionelle Zinssystem und die Akkumulation von Kapital dazu führen, dass Geld gehortet wird, was wiederum zu wirtschaftlicher Volatilität und Stagnation führt. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, schlug er vor, dass Geld einem periodischen Wertverlust unterworfen werden solle, um so die Umlaufgeschwindigkeit hochzuhalten. Praktisch umgesetzt wurde der Ansatz von Michael Unterguggenberger, dem Bürgermeister von Wörgl in Tirol. Eine frische Folge unseres gemeinsamen Podcastformats mit lehrreichen Geldgeschichten erscheint an jedem letzten Freitag im Monat! Medienempfehlungen: ► Robert Bohn: Die Piraten ► Jann M.

Kate Adie introduces correspondents' reflections from Indonesia, Argentina, Kenya, Colombia and Germany.Prabowo Subianto was once a military hardman at the forefront of Indonesian politics. He's run for the country's presidency twice before - and failed. Will it be third time lucky for him on the 14th of February? The BBC's former Indonesia correspondent Rebecca Henschke recently revisited the country and was startled by his apparent image makeover to appeal to first-time voters.When Javier Milei was elected President of Argentina in November, it was largely thanks to his promises of radical change to save the economy. In Buenos Aires recently, James Menendez saw signs of fiscal distress everywhere.Kenya's Penal Code outlaws abortion - with limited exceptions after cases of rape or incest, or where mothers are ill or aged under 18. Yet each year, tens of thousands of women and girls facing unwanted pregnancies resort to backstreet clinics, or try to induce terminations themselves. Linda Ngari explores the dangers they face - and the reasons they're willing to run the risk.Going from armed rebel to eco-tourism enabler might seem a drastic career change - but it's a path some former guerrilla fighters in Colombia are keen to take. Zoe Gelber talked to some demobilised former members of the FARC movement who hope to make a more peaceful living guiding travellers through the rainforests they once fought in.And Rob Crossan goes on the trail of the bratwurst in Nuremberg. It seem like just a humble sausage - but it's protected by European legislation, has hundreds of years of history behind it, and is deeply beloved by locals looking for reassurance.Producer: Polly Hope Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith Production Co-Ordinator: Sophie Hill

Support the show and receive bonus episodes by becoming a Patreon producer over at: www.themidnighttrainpodcast.com  Archives of terror Archivos del Terror were found on december 22, 1992 by a lawyer and human rights activist, strange how those two titles are in the same sentence, Dr. Martín Almada, and Judge José Agustín Fernández. Found in a police station in the suburbs of Paraguay known as Asunción.   Fernandez was looking for files on a former prisoner. Instead, stumbled across an archive describing the fates of thousands of Latin Americans who had been secretly kidnapped, tortured, and killed by the security services of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay with the help of our friendly neighborhood CIA. Known as Operation Condor.   “Operation Condor was a U.S. backed campaign of political repression and state terror involving intelligence operations and assassination of opponents.”   Let's go back a ways toward the beginning. One day, a young guy, wanted to fuck up the world and created the CIA. JK… but not really.   So we go back to 1968 where General Robert W. Porter said that "in order to facilitate the coordinated employment of internal security forces within and among Latin American countries, we are ... endeavoring to foster inter-service and regional cooperation by assisting in the organization of integrated command and control centers; the establishment of common operating procedures; and the conduct of joint and combined training exercises."   According to former secret CIA documents from 1976, plans were developed among international security officials at the US Army School of the Americas and the Conference of American Armies in the 1960s and early 1970s to deal with perceived threats in South America from political dissidents, according to American historian J. Patrice McSherry. "In early 1974, security officials from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia convened in Buenos Aires to prepare synchronized attacks against subversive targets," according to a declassified CIA memo dated June 23, 1976.   Following a series of military-led coups d'états, particularly in the 1970s, the program was established: General Alfredo Stroessner took control of Paraguay in 1954 General Francisco Morales-Bermúdez takes control of Peru after a successful coup in 1975 The Brazilian military overthrew the president João Goulart in 1964 General Hugo Banzer took power in Bolivia in 1971 through a series of coups A military dictatorship seized power in Uruguay on 27 June 1973 Chilean armed forces commanded by General Augusto Pinochet bombed the presidential palace in Chile on 11 September 1973, overthrowing democratically elected president Salvador Allende A military dictatorship headed by General Jorge Rafael Videla seized power in Argentina on 24 March 1976   According to American journalist A. J. Langguth, the CIA organized the first meetings between Argentinian and Uruguayan security officials regarding the surveillance (and subsequent disappearance or assassination) of political refugees in these countries, as well as its role as an intermediary in the meetings between Argentinian, Uruguayan, and Brazilian death squads.   According to the National Security Archive's documentary evidence from US, Paraguayan, Argentine, and Chilean files, "Founded by the Pinochet regime in November 1975, Operation Condor was the codename for a formal Southern Cone collaboration that included transnational secret intelligence activities, kidnapping, torture, disappearance, and assassination." Several persons were slain as part of this codename mission. "Notable Condor victims include two former Uruguayan legislators and a former Bolivian president, Juan José Torres, murdered in Buenos Aires, a former Chilean Minister of the Interior, Bernardo Leighton, and former Chilean ambassador Orlando Letelier and his 26-year-old American colleague, Ronni Moffitt, assassinated by a car bomb in downtown Washington D.C.," according to the report.   Prior to the formation of Operation Condor, there had been cooperation among various security services with the goal of "eliminating Marxist subversion." On September 3, 1973, at the Conference of American Armies in Caracas, Brazilian General Breno Borges Fortes, the chief of the Brazilian army, urged that various services "expand the interchange of information" in order to "fight against subversion."   Representatives from Chile, Uruguay, and Bolivia's police forces met with Alberto Villar, deputy chief of the Argentine Federal Police and co-founder of the Triple A killing squad, in March 1974 to discuss collaboration standards. Their purpose was to eliminate the "subversive" threat posed by Argentina's tens of thousands of political exiles. Bolivian immigrants' bodies were discovered at rubbish dumps in Buenos Aires in August 1974. Based on recently revealed CIA records dated June 1976, McSherry corroborated the kidnapping and torture of Chilean and Uruguayan exiles living in Buenos Aires during this time.   On General Augusto Pinochet's 60th birthday, November 25, 1975, in Santiago de Chile, heads of the military intelligence services of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay met with Manuel Contreras, commander of the Chilean secret police, to officially establish the Plan Condor. General Rivero, an intelligence officer in the Argentine Armed Forces and a former student of the French, devised the concept of Operation Condor, according to French writer Marie-Monique Robin, author of Escadrons de la death, l'école française (2004, Death Squads, The French School).   Officially, the targets were armed groups (such as the MIR, the Montoneros or the ERP, the Tupamaros, etc.) based on the governments' perceptions of threats, but the governments expanded their attacks to include all types of political opponents, including their families and others, as reported by the Valech Commission, which is known as The National Commission on Political Imprisonment and Torture Report. The Argentine "Dirty War," for example, kidnapped, tortured, and assassinated many trade unionists, relatives of activists, social activists such as the founders of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, nuns, university professors, and others, according to most estimates.   The Chilean DINA and its Argentine counterpart, SIDE, were the operation's front-line troops from 1976 forward. The infamous "death flights," which were postulated in Argentina by Luis Mara Menda and deployed by French forces during the Algerian War (1954–62), were widely used. Government forces flew or helicoptered victims out to sea, where they were dumped to die in premeditated disappearances. According to reports, the OPR-33 facility in Argentina was destroyed as a result of the military bombardment. Members of Plan Condor met in Santiago, Chile, in May 1976, to discuss "long-range collaboration... [that] went well beyond intelligence exchange" and to assign code names to the participating countries. The CIA acquired information in July that Plan Condor participants planned to strike "against leaders of indigenous terrorist groups residing overseas."   Several corpses washed up on beaches south of Buenos Aires in late 1977 as a result of extraordinary storms, providing evidence of some of the government's victims. Hundreds of newborns and children were removed from women in prison who had been kidnapped and later disappeared; the children were then given to families and associates of the dictatorship in clandestine adoptions. According to the CIA, Operation Condor countries reacted positively to the concept of cooperating and built their own communications network as well as joint training programs in areas like psychological warfare.    The military governments in South America were coming together to join forces for security concerns, according to a memo prepared by Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America Harry W. Shlaudeman to Kissinger on August 3, 1976. They were anxious about the growth of Marxism and the consequences it would have on their dominance. This new force worked in secret in the countries of other members. Their mission: to track out and murder "Revolutionary Coordinating Committee" terrorists in their own nations and throughout Europe.Shlaudeman voiced fear that the members of Operation Condor's "siege mindset" could lead to a wider divide between military and civilian institutions in the region. He was also concerned that this would further isolate these countries from developed Western countries. He argued that some of these anxieties were justified, but that by reacting too harshly, these countries risked inciting a violent counter-reaction comparable to the PLO's in Israel.   Chile and Argentina were both active in using communications medium for the purpose of transmitting propaganda, according to papers from the United States dated April 17, 1977. The propaganda's goal was to accomplish two things. The first goal was to defuse/counter international media criticism of the governments involved, and the second goal was to instill national pride in the local population. "Chile after Allende," a propaganda piece developed by Chile, was sent to the states functioning under Condor. The paper, however, solely mentions Uruguay and Argentina as the only two countries that have signed the deal. The government of Paraguay was solely identified as using the local press, "Patria," as its primary source of propaganda. Due to the reorganisation of both Argentina's and Paraguay's intelligence organizations, a meeting scheduled for March 1977 to discuss "psychological warfare measures against terrorists and leftist extremists" was canceled.   One "component of the campaign including Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina envisages unlawful operations beyond Latin America against expatriate terrorists, primarily in Europe," according to a 2016 declassified CIA study titled "Counterterrorism in the Southern Cone." "All military-controlled regimes in the Southern Cone consider themselves targets of international Marxism," the memo stated. Condor's fundamental characteristic was highlighted in the document, which came to fruition in early 1974 when "security officials from all of the member countries, except Brazil, agreed to establish liaison channels and to facilitate the movement of security officers on government business from one country to the other," as part of a long-tested "regional approach" to pacifying "subversion." Condor's "initial aims" included the "exchange of information on the Revolutionary Coordinating Junta (RCJ), an organization...of terrorist groups from Bolivia, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay" with "representatives" in Europe "believed to have been involved in the assassinations in Paris of the Bolivian ambassador to France last May and a Uruguayan military attache in 1974." Condor's primary purpose, according to the CIA assessment, was to eliminate "top-level terrorist leaders" as well as non-terrorist targets such as "Uruguayan opposition figure Wilson Ferreira, if he should travel to Europe, and some leaders of Amnesty International." Condor was also suspected by the CIA of being "involved in nonviolent actions, including as psychological warfare and a propaganda campaign" that used the media's power to "publicize terrorist crimes and atrocities." Condor also urged citizens in its member countries to "report anything out of the norm in their surroundings" in an appeal to "national pride and national conscience." Another meeting took place in 1980, and Montensero was apprehended. The RSO allegedly promised not to kill them if they agreed to collaborate and provide information on upcoming meetings in Rio.   So, after all of this mumbo jumbo, let's recap.    50,000 people were killed, 30,000 disappeared, and 400,000 were imprisoned, according to the "terror archives."  A letter signed by Manuel Contreras, the chief of Chile's National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) at the time, inviting Paraguayan intelligence personnel to Santiago for a clandestine "First Working Meeting on National Intelligence" on November 25, 1975, was also uncovered. The presence of intelligence chiefs from Argentina, Bolivia, and Uruguay at the meetings was also confirmed by this letter, indicating that those countries were also involved in the formulation of Operation Condor. Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela are among the countries named in the archives as having collaborated to varying degrees by giving intelligence information that had been sought by the security agencies of the Southern Cone countries. Parts of the archives, which are presently housed in Asunción's Palace of Justice, have been used to prosecute former military officers in some of these countries. Those records were used extensively in Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón's prosecution against Chilean General Augusto Pinochet. Baltasar Garzón interviewed Almada twice after he was a Condor victim.   "[The records] represent a mound of shame and lies that Stroessner [Paraguay's ruler until 1989] used to blackmail the Paraguayan people for 40 years," Almada said. He wants the "terror archives" to be listed as an international cultural site by UNESCO, as this would make it much easier to get funds to maintain and protect the records.   In May 2000, a UNESCO mission visited Asunción in response to a request from the Paraguayan government for assistance in registering these files on the Memory of the World Register, which is part of a program aimed at preserving and promoting humanity's documentary heritage by ensuring that records are preserved and accessible.   Now that we are all caught up, let's talk about a few noteworthy events. First we go to Argentina.   Argentina was ruled by military juntas from 1976 until 1983 under Operation Condor, which was a civic-military dictatorship. In countless incidents of desaparecidos, the Argentine SIDE collaborated with the Chilean DINA. In Buenos Aires, they assassinated Chilean General Carlos Prats, former Uruguayan MPs Zelmar Michelini and Héctor Gutiérrez Ruiz, and former Bolivian President Juan José Torres. With the support of Italian Gladio operator Stefano Delle Chiaie and Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie, the SIDE aided Bolivian commander Luis Garca Meza Tejada's Cocaine Coup (see also Operation Charly). Since the release of secret records, it has been revealed that at ESMA, there were operational units made up of Italians who were utilized to suppress organizations of Italian Montoneros. Gaetano Saya, the Officer of the Italian stay behind next - Operation Gladio, led this outfit known as "Shadow Group." The Madres de la Square de Mayo, a group of mothers whose children had vanished, began protesting every Thursday in front of the Casa Rosada on the plaza in April 1977. They wanted to know where their children were and what happened to them. The abduction of two French nuns and other founders of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in December 1977 drew worldwide notice. Their corpses were later recognized among the deceased washed up on beaches south of Buenos Aires in December 1977, victims of death planes.   In 1983, when Argentina's democracy was restored, the government established the National Commission for Forced Disappearances (CONADEP), which was chaired by writer Ernesto Sabato. It gathered testimony from hundreds of witnesses about regime victims and known atrocities, as well as documenting hundreds of secret jails and detention sites and identifying torture and execution squad leaders. The Juicio a las Juntas (Juntas Trial) two years later was mostly successful in proving the crimes of the top commanders of the numerous juntas that had composed the self-styled National Reorganization Process. Most of the top officers on trial, including Jorge Rafael Videla, Emilio Eduardo Massera, Roberto Eduardo Viola, Armando Lambruschini, Ral Agosti, Rubén Graffigna, Leopoldo Galtieri, Jorge Anaya, and Basilio Lami Dozo, were convicted and sentenced to life in prison.   Following these trials, Ral Alfonsn's administration implemented two amnesty laws, the 1986 Ley de Punto Final (law of closure) and the 1987 Ley de Obediencia Debida (law of due obedience), which ended prosecution of crimes committed during the Dirty War. In an attempt at healing and reconciliation, President Carlos Menem pardoned the junta's leaders who were serving prison sentences in 1989–1990.   Due to attacks on American citizens in Argentina and revelations about CIA funding of the Argentine military in the late 1990s, and despite an explicit 1990 Congressional prohibition, US President Bill Clinton ordered the declassification of thousands of State Department documents relating to US-Argentine relations dating back to 1954. These documents exposed American involvement in the Dirty War and Operation Condor.   Following years of protests by the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and other human rights organizations, the Argentine Congress overturned the amnesty legislation in 2003, with the full support of President Nestor Kirchner and the ruling majority in both chambers. In June 2005, the Argentine Supreme Court deemed them unlawful after a separate assessment. The government was able to resume prosecution of crimes committed during the Dirty War as a result of the court's decision.    Enrique Arancibia Clavel, a DINA civil agent who was charged with crimes against humanity in Argentina in 2004, was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the death of General Prats. Stefano Delle Chiaie, a suspected Italian terrorist, is also said to have been involved in the murder. In Rome in December 1995, he and fellow extreme Vincenzo Vinciguerra testified before federal judge Mara Servini de Cubra that DINA operatives Clavel and Michael Townley were intimately involved in the assassination. Judge Servini de Cubra demanded that Mariana Callejas (Michael Townley's wife) and Cristoph Willikie, a retired Chilean army colonel, be extradited in 2003 because they were also accused of being complicit in the murder. Nibaldo Segura, a Chilean appeals court judge, declined extradition in July 2005, claiming that they had already been prosecuted in Chile.   Twenty-five former high-ranking military commanders from Argentina and Uruguay were charged on March 5, 2013, in Buenos Aires with conspiring to "kidnap, disappear, torture, and kill" 171 political opponents throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Former Argentine "presidents" Jorge Videla and Reynaldo Bignone, both from the El Proceso era, are among the defendants. Prosecutors are relying on declassified US records collected by the National Security Archive, a non-governmental entity established at George Washington University in Washington, DC, in the 1990s and later.   On May 27, 2016, fifteen former military personnel were found guilty. Reynaldo Bignone was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Fourteen of the remaining 16 defendants were sentenced to eight to twenty-five years in prison. Two of the defendants were found not guilty.  A lawyer for the victims' relatives, Luz Palmás Zalda, claims that "This decision is significant since it is the first time Operation Condor's existence has been proven in court. It's also the first time former Condor members have been imprisoned for their roles in the criminal organization."    Anyone wanna go to Brazil?   In the year 2000, President Fernando Henrique Cardoso ordered the publication of some military documents related to Operation Condor. There are documents proving that in that year, attorney general Giancarlo Capaldo, an Italian magistrate, investigated the "disappearances" of Italian citizens in Latin America, which were most likely caused by the actions of Argentine, Paraguayan, Chilean, and Brazilian military personnel who tortured and murdered Italian citizens during Latin American military dictatorships. There was a list containing the names of eleven Brazilians accused of murder, kidnapping, and torture, as well as several high-ranking military personnel from other countries involved in the operation.   "(...) I can neither affirm nor deny because Argentine, Brazilian, Paraguayan, and Chilean soldiers [military men] will be subject to criminal trial until December," the Magistrate said on October 26, 2000.   According to the Italian government's official statement, it was unclear whether the government would prosecute the accused military officers or not. As of November 2021, no one in Brazil had been convicted of human rights violations for actions committed during the 21-year military dictatorship because the Amnesty Law had protected both government officials and leftist guerrillas.   In November 1978, the Condor Operation expanded its covert persecution from Uruguay to Brazil, in an incident dubbed "o Sequestro dos Uruguaios," or "the Kidnapping of the Uruguayans." Senior officials of the Uruguayan army crossed the border into Porto Alegre, the capital of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, with the permission of the Brazilian military administration. They kidnapped Universindo Rodriguez and Lilian Celiberti, a political activist couple from Uruguay, as well as her two children, Camilo and Francesca, who are five and three years old.   The unlawful operation failed because an anonymous phone call notified two Brazilian journalists, Veja magazine reporter Luiz Cláudio Cunha and photographer Joo Baptista Scalco, that the Uruguayan couple had been "disappeared." The two journalists traveled to the specified address, a Porto Alegre apartment, to double-check the facts. The armed men who had arrested Celiberti mistook the journalists for other political opposition members when they came, and they were arrested as well. Universindo Rodriguez and the children had already been brought to Uruguay under the table.   The journalists' presence had exposed the secret operation when their identities were revealed. It was put on hold. As news of the political kidnapping of Uruguayan nationals in Brazil made headlines in the Brazilian press, it is thought that the operation's disclosure avoided the death of the couple and their two young children. It became a worldwide embarrassment. Both Brazil's and Uruguay's military governments were humiliated. Officials arranged for the Celibertis' children to be transported to their maternal grandparents in Montevideo a few days later. After being imprisoned and tortured in Brazil, Rodriguez and Celiberti were transferred to Uruguayan military cells and held there for the next five years. The couple were released after Uruguay's democracy was restored in 1984. They confirmed every element of their kidnapping that had previously been reported.   In 1980, two DOPS (Department of Political and Social Order, an official police unit in charge of political repression during the military administration) inspectors were found guilty of arresting the journalists in Lilian's apartment in Porto Alegre by Brazilian courts. Joo Augusto da Rosa and Orandir Portassi Lucas were their names. They had been identified as participants in the kidnapping by the media and Uruguayans. This occurrence confirmed the Brazilian government's active involvement in the Condor Operation. Governor Pedro Simon arranged for the state of Rio Grande do Sul to legally recognize the Uruguayans' kidnapping and compensate them financially in 1991. A year later, President Luis Alberto Lacalle's democratic government in Uruguay was encouraged to do the same.   The Uruguayan couple identified Pedro Seelig, the head of the DOPS at the time of the kidnapping, as the guy in charge of the operation in Porto Alegre. Universindo and Llian remained in prison in Uruguay and were unable to testify when Seelig was on trial in Brazil. Due to a lack of proof, the Brazilian cop was acquitted. Later testimony from Lilian and Universindo revealed that four officers from Uruguay's secret Counter-Information Division – two majors and two captains – took part in the operation with the permission of Brazilian authorities. In the DOPS headquarters in Porto Alegre, Captain Glauco Yanonne was personally responsible for torturing Universindo Rodriquez. Universindo and Lilian were able to identify the Uruguayan military men who had arrested and tortured them, but none of them were prosecuted in Montevideo. Uruguayan individuals who committed acts of political repression and human rights violations under the dictatorship were granted pardon under the Law of Immunity, which was approved in 1986. Cunha and Scalco were given the 1979 Esso Prize, considered the most significant prize in Brazilian journalism, for their investigative journalism on the case.  Hugo Cores, a former political prisoner from Uruguay, was the one who had warned Cunha. He told the Brazilian press in 1993: All the Uruguayans kidnapped abroad, around 180 people, are missing to this day. The only ones who managed to survive are Lilian, her children, and Universindo.   Joo "Jango" Goulart was the first Brazilian president to die in exile after being deposed. On December 6, 1976, he died in his sleep in Mercedes, Argentina, of a suspected heart attack. The true cause of his death was never determined because an autopsy was never performed. On April 26, 2000, Leonel Brizola, Jango's brother-in-law and former governor of Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul, claimed that ex-presidents Joo Goulart and Juscelino Kubitschek (who died in a vehicle accident) were assassinated as part of Operation Condor. He demanded that an investigation into their deaths be launched. On January 27, 2008, the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo published a report featuring a declaration from Mario Neira Barreiro, a former member of Uruguay's dictatorship's intelligence service. Barreiro confirmed Brizola's claims that Goulart had been poisoned. Sérgio Paranhos Fleury, the head of the Departamento de Ordem Poltica e Social (Department of Political and Social Order), gave the order to assassinate Goulart, according to Barreiro, and president Ernesto Geisel gave the permission to execute him. A special panel of the Rio Grande do Sul Legislative Assembly concluded in July 2008 that "the evidence that Jango was wilfully slain, with knowledge of the Geisel regime, is strong."   The magazine CartaCapital published previously unreleased National Information Service records generated by an undercover agent who was present at Jango's Uruguayan homes in March 2009. This new information backs up the idea that the former president was poisoned. The Goulart family has yet to figure out who the "B Agent," as he's referred to in the documents, might be. The agent was a close friend of Jango's, and he detailed a disagreement between the former president and his son during the former president's 56th birthday party, which was sparked by a brawl between two employees. As a result of the story, the Chamber of Deputies' Human Rights Commission agreed to look into Jango's death.   Later, Maria Teresa Fontela Goulart, Jango's widow, was interviewed by CartaCapital, who revealed records from the Uruguayan government confirming her accusations that her family had been tracked. Jango's travel, business, and political activities were all being watched by the Uruguayan government. These data date from 1965, a year after Brazil's coup, and they indicate that he may have been targeted. The President Joo Goulart Institute and the Movement for Justice and Human Rights have requested a document from the Uruguayan Interior Ministry stating that "serious and credible Brazilian sources'' discussed an "alleged plan against the former Brazilian president."   If you thought it wasn't enough, let's talk about Chile. No not the warm stew lie concoction you make to scorn your buddy's stomach, but the country.   Additional information about Condor was released when Augusto Pinochet was detained in London in 1998 in response to Spanish magistrate Baltasar Garzón's request for his extradition to Spain. According to one of the lawyers requesting his extradition, Carlos Altamirano, the leader of the Chilean Socialist Party, was the target of an assassination attempt. He said that after Franco's funeral in Madrid in 1975, Pinochet contacted Italian neofascist terrorist Stefano Delle Chiaie and arranged for Altamirano's murder. The strategy didn't work out. Since the bodies of victims kidnapped and presumably murdered could not be found, Chilean judge Juan Guzmán Tapia established a precedent concerning the crime of "permanent kidnapping": he determined that the kidnapping was thought to be ongoing, rather than having occurred so long ago that the perpetrators were protected by an amnesty decreed in 1978 or the Chilean statute of limitations. The Chilean government admitted in November 2015 that Pablo Neruda may have been murdered by members of Pinochet's administration.   Assassinations   On September 30, 1974, a car bomb killed General Carlos Prats and his wife, Sofa Cuthbert, in Buenos Aires, where they were living in exile. The Chilean DINA has been charged with the crime. In January 2005, Chilean Judge Alejandro Sols ended Pinochet's case when the Chilean Supreme Court denied his request to strip Pinochet's immunity from prosecution (as chief of state). In Chile, the assassination of DINA commanders Manuel Contreras, ex-chief of operations and retired general Ral Itturiaga Neuman, his brother Roger Itturiaga, and ex-brigadiers Pedro Espinoza Bravo and José Zara was accused. In Argentina, DINA agent Enrique Arancibia Clavel was found guilty of the murder.   After moving in exile in Italy, Bernardo Leighton and his wife were severely injured in a botched assassination attempt on October 6, 1975. Bernardo Leighton was critically injured in the gun attack, and his wife, Anita Fresno, was permanently crippled. Stefano Delle Chiaie met with Michael Townley and Virgilio Paz Romero in Madrid in 1975 to plan the murder of Bernardo Leighton with the help of Franco's secret police, according to declassified documents in the National Security Archive and Italian attorney general Giovanni Salvi, who led the prosecution of former DINA head Manuel Contreras. Glyn T. Davies, the secretary of the National Security Council (NSC), said in 1999 that declassified records indicated Pinochet's government's responsibility for the failed assassination attempt on Bernardo Leighton, Orlando Letelier, and General Carlos Prats on October 6, 1975.   In a December 2004 OpEd piece in the Los Angeles Times, Francisco Letelier, Orlando Letelier's son, claimed that his father's killing was part of Operation Condor, which he described as "an intelligence-sharing network employed by six South American tyrants of the time to eliminate dissidents."   Letelier's death, according to Michael Townley, was caused by Pinochet. Townley admitted to hiring five anti-Castro Cuban exiles to set up a booby-trap in Letelier's automobile. Following consultations with the terrorist organization CORU's leadership, including Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch, Cuban-Americans José Dionisio Suárez, Virgilio Paz Romero, Alvin Ross Daz, and brothers Guillermo and Ignacio Novo Sampoll were chosen to carry out the murder, according to Jean-Guy Allard. The Miami Herald reports that Luis Posada Carriles was there at the conference that decided on Letelier's death as well as the bombing of Cubana Flight 455.   During a public protest against Pinochet in July 1986, photographer Rodrigo Rojas DeNegri was burned alive and Carmen Gloria Quintana received significant burns. The case of the two became known as Caso Quemados ("The Burned Case"), and it drew attention in the United States because Rojas had fled to the United States following the 1973 coup. [96] According to a document from the US State Department, the Chilean army set fire to both Rojas and Quintana on purpose. Rojas and Quintana, on the other hand, were accused by Pinochet of being terrorists who lit themselves on fire with their own Molotov cocktails. Pinochet's reaction to the attack and killing of Rojas, according to National Security Archive analyst Peter Kornbluh, was "contributed to Reagan's decision to withdraw support for the regime and press for a return to civilian rule."   Operación Silencio   Operación Silencio (Operation Silence) was a Chilean operation that removed witnesses from the country in order to obstruct investigations by Chilean judges. It began about a year before the "terror archives" in Paraguay were discovered. Arturo Sanhueza Ross, the man accused of assassinating MIR leader Jecar Neghme in 1989, departed the country in April 1991.    According to the Rettig Report, Chilean intelligence officers were responsible for Jecar Neghme's killing. Carlos Herrera Jiménez, the man who assassinated trade unionist Tucapel Jiménez, flew out in September 1991. Eugenio Berros, a chemist who had cooperated with DINA agent Michael Townley, was led by Operation Condor agents from Chile to Uruguay in October 1991 in order to avoid testifying in the Letelier case. He used passports from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil, prompting suspicions that Operation Condor was still active. In 1995, Berros was discovered dead in El Pinar, Uruguay, near Montevideo. His corpse had been mangled to the point where it was hard to identify him by sight.   Michael Townley, who is now under witness protection in the United States, recognized linkages between Chile, DINA, and the incarceration and torture camp Colonia Dignidad in January 2005. The facility was founded in 1961 by Paul Schäfer, who was arrested and convicted of child rape in Buenos Aires in March 2005. Interpol was notified about Colonia Dignidad and the Army's Bacteriological Warfare Laboratory by Townley. This lab would have taken the place of the previous DINA lab on Via Naranja de lo Curro, where Townley collaborated with chemical assassin Eugenio Berros. According to the court reviewing the case, the toxin that allegedly murdered Christian-Democrat Eduardo Frei Montalva could have been created at this new lab in Colonia Dignidad. Dossiê Jango, a Brazilian-Uruguayan-Argentine collaboration film released in 2013, accused the same lab in the alleged poisoning of Brazil's deposed president, Joo Goulart.   Congressman Koch   The Condor Years: How Pinochet and His Allies Brought Terrorism to Three Continents was released in February 2004 by reporter John Dinges. He reported that in mid-1976, Uruguayan military officers threatened to assassinate United States Congressman Edward Koch (later Mayor of New York City). The CIA station commander in Montevideo had received information about it in late July 1976. He advised the Agency to take no action after finding that the men were inebriated at the time. Colonel José Fons, who was present at the November 1975 covert meeting in Santiago, Chile, and Major José Nino Gavazzo, who led a team of intelligence agents working in Argentina in 1976 and was responsible for the deaths of over 100 Uruguayans, were among the Uruguayan officers.   Koch told Dinges in the early twenty-first century that CIA Director George H. W. Bush informed him in October 1976 that "his sponsorship of legislation to cut off US military assistance to Uruguay on human rights concerns had prompted secret police officers to 'put a contract out for you'." Koch wrote to the Justice Department in mid-October 1976, requesting FBI protection, but he received none. It had been more than two months after the meeting and the assassination of Orlando Letelier in Washington. Colonel Fons and Major Gavazzo were sent to important diplomatic postings in Washington, D.C. in late 1976. The State Department ordered the Uruguayan government to rescind their appointments, citing the possibility of "unpleasant publicity" for "Fons and Gavazzo."  Only in 2001 did Koch learn of the links between the threats and the position appointments.   Paraguay The US supported Alfredo Stroessner's anti-communist military dictatorship and played a "vital supporting role" in Stroessner's Paraguay's domestic affairs. As part of Operation Condor, for example, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Thierry of the United States Army was deployed to assist local workers in the construction of "La Technica," a detention and interrogation center. La Technica was also renowned as a torture facility. Pastor Coronel, Stroessner's secret police, washed their victims in human vomit and excrement tubs and shocked them in the rectum with electric cattle prods. They decapitated Miguel Angel Soler [es], the Communist party secretary, with a chainsaw while Stroessner listened on the phone. Stroessner asked that tapes of inmates wailing in agony be presented to their relatives.   Harry Shlaudeman defined Paraguay's militarized state as a "nineteenth-century military administration that looks nice on the cartoon page" in a report to Kissinger. Shlaudeman's assessments were paternalistic, but he was correct in observing that Paraguay's "backwardness" was causing it to follow in the footsteps of its neighbors. Many decolonized countries regarded national security concerns in terms of neighboring countries and long-standing ethnic or regional feuds, but the United States viewed conflict from a global and ideological viewpoint. During the Chaco War, Shlaudeman mentions Paraguay's amazing fortitude in the face of greater military force from its neighbors. The government of Paraguay believes that the country's victory over its neighbors over several decades justifies the country's lack of progress. The paper goes on to say that Paraguay's political traditions were far from democratic. Because of this reality, as well as a fear of leftist protest in neighboring countries, the government has prioritized the containment of political opposition over the growth of its economic and political institutions. They were driven to defend their sovereignty due to an ideological fear of their neighbors. As a result, many officials were inspired to act in the interest of security by the fight against radical, communist movements both within and beyond the country. The book Opération Condor, written by French writer Pablo Daniel Magee and prefaced by Costa Gavras, was published in 2020. The story chronicles the life of Martin Almada, a Paraguayan who was a victim of the Condor Operation.   The Peruvian Case   After being kidnapped in 1978, Peruvian legislator Javier Diez Canseco announced that he and twelve other compatriots (Justiniano Apaza Ordóñez, Hugo Blanco, Genaro Ledesma Izquieta, Valentín Pacho, Ricardo Letts, César Lévano, Ricardo Napurí, José Luis Alvarado Bravo, Alfonso Baella Tuesta, Guillermo Faura Gaig, José Arce Larco and Humberto Damonte). All opponents of Francisco Morales Bermudez's dictatorship were exiled and handed over to the Argentine armed forces in Jujuy in 1978 after being kidnapped in Peru. He also claimed that declassified CIA documents and WikiLeaks cable information account for the Morales Bermudez government's ties to Operation Condor.   Uruguay   Juan Mara Bordaberry declared himself dictator and banned the rest of the political parties, as was customary in the Southern Cone dictatorships of the 1970s. In the alleged defense against subversion, a large number of people were murdered, tortured, unjustly detained and imprisoned, kidnapped, and forced into disappearance during the de facto administration, which lasted from 1973 until 1985. Prior to the coup d'état in 1973, the CIA served as a consultant to the country's law enforcement institutions. Dan Mitrione, perhaps the most well-known example of such cooperation, had taught civilian police in counterinsurgency at the School of the Americas in Panama, afterwards renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation.   Maybe now we can talk about the U.S involvement? The U.S never gets involved in anything so this might be new to some of you.   According to US paperwork, the US supplied critical organizational, financial, and technological help to the operation far into the 1980s. The long-term hazards of a right-wing bloc, as well as its early policy recommendations, were discussed in a US Department of State briefing for Henry Kissinger, then Secretary of State, dated 3 August 1976, prepared by Harry Shlaudeman and titled "Third World War and South America." The briefing was an overview of security forces in the Southern Cone. The operation was described as a joint effort by six Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay) to win the "Third World War" by eliminating "subversion" through transnational secret intelligence operations, kidnapping, torture, disappearance, and assassination. The research begins by examining the sense of unity shared by the six countries of the Southern Cone. Kissinger is warned by Shlaudeman that the "Third World War" will trap those six countries in an ambiguous position in the long run, because they are trapped on one side by "international Marxism and its terrorist exponents," and on the other by "the hostility of uncomprehending industrial democracies misled by Marxist propaganda." According to the report, US policy toward Operation Condor should “emphasize the differences between the five countries at all times, depoliticize human rights, oppose rhetorical exaggerations of the ‘Third-World-War' type, and bring potential bloc members back into our cognitive universe through systematic exchanges.” According to CIA papers from 1976, strategies to deal with political dissidents in South America were planned among international security officials at the US Army School of the Americas and the Conference of American Armies from 1960 to the early 1970s. "In early 1974, security officials from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia convened in Buenos Aires to arrange synchronized attacks against subversive targets," according to a declassified CIA memo dated June 23, 1976. Officials in the United States were aware of the situation.   Furthermore, the Defense Intelligence Agency revealed in September 1976 that US intelligence services were well aware of Operation Condor's architecture and intentions. They discovered that "Operation Condor" was the covert name for gathering intelligence on "leftists," Communists, Peronists, or Marxists in the Southern Cone Area. The intelligence services were aware that the operation was being coordinated by the intelligence agencies of numerous South American nations (including Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia), with Chile serving as the hub. Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, according to the DIA, were already aggressively pursuing operations against communist targets, primarily in Argentina.   The report's third point reveals the US comprehension of Operation Condor's most malevolent actions. "The development of special teams from member countries to execute out operations, including killings against terrorists or sympathizers of terrorist groups," according to the paper. Although these special teams were intelligence agency operatives rather than military troops, they did work in structures similar to those used by US special forces teams, according to the study. Operation Condor's preparations to undertake probable operations in France and Portugal were revealed in Kissinger's State Department briefing - an issue that would later prove to be immensely contentious in Condor's history.   Condor's core was formed by the US government's sponsorship and collaboration with DINA (Directorate of National Intelligence) and other intelligence agencies. According to CIA papers, the agency maintained intimate ties with officers of Chile's secret police, DINA, and its leader Manuel Contreras.  Even after his role in the Letelier-Moffit killing was discovered, Contreras was kept as a paid CIA contact until 1977. Official requests to trace suspects to and from the US Embassy, the CIA, and the FBI may be found in the Paraguayan Archives. The military states received suspect lists and other intelligence material from the CIA. In 1975, the FBI conducted a nationwide hunt in the United States for persons sought by DINA.   In a February 1976 telegram from the Buenos Aires embassy to the State Department, intelligence said that the US was aware of the impending Argentinian coup. According to the ambassador, the Chief of the Foreign Ministry's North American desk revealed that the "Military Planning Group" had asked him to prepare a report and recommendations on how the "future military government can avoid or minimize the sort of problems the Chilean and Uruguayan governments are having with the US over human rights issues." The Chief also indicated that "they" (whether he is talking to the CIA or Argentina's future military dictatorship, or both) will confront opposition if they start assassinating and killing people. Assuming this is so, the envoy notes that the military coup will "intend to carry forward an all-out war on the terrorists and that some executions would therefore probably be necessary." Despite already being engaged in the region's politics, this indicates that the US was aware of the planning of human rights breaches before they occurred and did not intervene to prevent them. "It is encouraging to note that the Argentine military are aware of the problem and are already focusing on ways to avoid letting human rights issues become an irritant in US-Argentine Relations." This is confirmation.   Professor Ruth Blakeley says that Kissinger "explicitly expressed his support for the repression of political opponents" in regards to the Argentine junta's continuous human rights violations.  When Henry Kissinger met with Argentina's Foreign Minister on October 5, 1976, he said, ” Look, our basic attitude is that we would like you to succeed. I have an old-fashioned view that friends ought to be supported. What is not understood in the United States is that you have a civil war. We read about human rights problems but not the context. The quicker you succeed the better ... The human rights problem is a growing one. Your Ambassador can apprise you. We want a stable situation. We won't cause you unnecessary difficulties. If you can finish before Congress gets back, the better. Whatever freedoms you could restore would help.”   The démarche was never provided in the end. According to Kornbluh and Dinges, the decision not to deliver Kissinger's directive was based on Assistant Secretary Harry Shlaudeman's letter to his deputy in Washington, D.C., which stated: "you can simply instruct the Ambassadors to take no further action, noting that there have been no reports in some weeks indicating an intention to activate the Condor scheme."   President Bill Clinton ordered the State Department to release hundreds of declassified papers in June 1999, indicating for the first time that the CIA, State, and Defense Departments were all aware of Condor. According to a 1 October 1976 DOD intelligence assessment, Latin American military commanders gloat about it to their American colleagues. Condor's "joint counterinsurgency operations" sought to "eliminate Marxist terrorist activities," according to the same study; Argentina developed a special Condor force "structured much like a US Special Forces Team," it said. According to a summary of documents disclosed in 2004, The declassified record shows that Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was briefed on Condor and its "murder operations" on August 5, 1976, in a 14-page report from [Harry] Shlaudeman [Assistant Secretary of State]. "Internationally, the Latin generals look like our guys," Shlaudeman cautioned. "We are especially identified with Chile. It cannot do us any good." Shlaudeman and his two deputies, William Luers and Hewson Ryan, recommended action. Over the course of three weeks, they drafted a cautiously worded demarche, approved by Kissinger, in which he instructed the U.S. ambassadors in the Southern Cone countries to meet with the respective heads of state about Condor. He instructed them to express "our deep concern" about "rumors" of "plans for the assassination of subversives, politicians and prominent figures both within the national borders of certain Southern Cone countries and abroad."   Kornbluh and Dinges come to the conclusion that "The paper trail is clear: the State Department and the CIA had enough intelligence to take concrete steps to thwart the Condor assassination planning. Those steps were initiated but never implemented." Hewson Ryan, Shlaudeman's deputy, subsequently admitted in an oral history interview that the State Department's treatment of the issue was "remiss." "We knew fairly early on that the governments of the Southern Cone countries were planning, or at least talking about, some assassinations abroad in the summer of 1976. ... Whether if we had gone in, we might have prevented this, I don't know", In relation to the Letelier-Moffitt bombing, he remarked, "But we didn't."   Condor was defined as a "counter-terrorism organization" in a CIA document, which also mentioned that the Condor countries had a specific telecommunications system known as "CONDORTEL."  The New York Times released a communication from US Ambassador to Paraguay Robert White to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance on March 6, 2001. The paper was declassified and disseminated by the Clinton administration in November 2000 as part of the Chile Declassification Project. General Alejandro Fretes Davalos, the chief of staff of Paraguay's armed forces, told White that the South American intelligence chiefs engaged in Condor "kept in touch with one another through a United States communications installation in the Panama Canal Zone that covered all of Latin America."   According to reports, Davalos stated that the station was "employed to coordinate intelligence information among the southern cone countries". The US was concerned that the Condor link would be made public at a time when the killing of Chilean former minister Orlando Letelier and his American aide Ronni Moffitt in the United States was being probed."it would seem advisable to review this arrangement to insure that its continuation is in US interest." White wrote to Vance. "Another piece of increasingly weighty evidence suggesting that U.S. military and intelligence officials supported and collaborated with Condor as a secret partner or sponsor." McSherry rebutted the cables. Furthermore, an Argentine military source told a U.S. Embassy contact that the CIA was aware of Condor and had played a vital role in establishing computerized linkages among the six Condor governments' intelligence and operations sections.   After all this it doesn't stop here. We even see France having a connection. The original document confirming that a 1959 agreement between Paris and Buenos Aires set up a "permanent French military mission" of officers to Argentina who had participated in the Algerian War was discovered in the archives of the Quai d'Orsay, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was kept at the offices of the Argentine Army's chief of staff. It lasted until 1981, when François Mitterrand was elected President of France. She revealed how the administration of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing secretly coordinated with Videla's junta in Argentina and Augusto Pinochet's tyranny in Chile.   Even Britain and West Germany looked into using the tactics in their own countries. Going so far as to send their open personnel to Buenos Aires to discuss how to establish a similar network.  MOVIES   https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=military-coup&sort=num_votes,desc&mode=detail&page=1&title_type=movie&ref_=kw_ref_typ https://islandora.wrlc.org/islandora/object/terror%3Aroot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archives_of_Terror https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Condor https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20774985 https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB239d/index.htm

But first, let's catch up on some Greetings from Gardeners around the world and today’s curated news.   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Gardener Greetings To participate in the Gardener Greetings segment, send your garden pics, stories, birthday wishes and so forth to Jennifer@theDailyGardener.org And, to listen to the show while you're at home, just ask Alexa or Google to play The Daily Gardener Podcast. It's that easy.   Curated News Get the Most from Your Potting Soil With These Tips | The Spruce | Jon VanZile Here's an excerpt: "Most soil mixes are peat-based, often made with reed or sedge peat, and pH adjusted with lime. They are rich and loamy fresh out of the bag, and often they are enhanced with fertilizer or water-retention crystals. If you've been gardening for a long time, though, you may notice that plants rarely thrive in these kinds of soils for too long. This happens because peat-based soils really aren't designed for long-term use. They're not actually designed for plants at all—they're made for your convenience. They're cheaper to produce, and they are lightweight and easy to bag and sell. As these soils decompose, a number of negative forces will affect your plants. Take these steps to ensure your plants have the soil they need: Improve your bagged soil. It's not a long-term fix, but you can improve on peat-based growing mixes by mixing in a few handfuls of perlite. It won't slow the decomposition rate of the peat, but it will increase aeration. Flush the soil thoroughly every month, at a minimum. Take the plant to the kitchen sink or outside and thoroughly flush the soil to wash out accumulated salts from fertilizer and deposits from tap water. Wick your pots. Insert a wick through the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot. This won't help with compaction, but it will wick away excess water in the pot and help drainage, thus reducing the chance of root rot. Make your own potting mix. Many growers mix up their own potting mixes based on composted bark, coconut coir, peat, perlite, vermiculite, pumice, and other soil additives. This is a more advanced option, but it is possible to build a soil that will last for two or more seasons if you make it yourself."   Pass-Along Plants "You don't have a garden just for yourself. You have it to share." — Augusta Carter, Master Gardener, Pound Ridge, Georgia Pass-along plants have the best stories, don't they? They have history. They have a personal history. One of my student gardeners had a grandmother who recently passed away from breast cancer. Her mom was no green thumb. But, when her daughter started working in my garden, she let me know that her mom had some plants, and her dad was looking for a place for them. Would I be willing to take one? Sure. Absolutely, I said. Next thing I knew, a few weeks later, Mom is walking up to my driveway, caring one of the largest Jade plants I’ve ever seen. The plant was in a container the size of a 5-gallon paint bucket, and the plant was just as tall. I took the plant from her with a promise to take good care of it. When she turned to leave, I asked her mom’s name. I like to name my pass-along plants after the people I get them from; and, that’s when the tears started. When she left, I brought it over to the potting bench and let it sit for a few days. Then, my student gardeners and I set about dividing it and taking care of it. It was a good thing we did it - because the minute we started to take it out of the pot, it became very apparent that this plant was severely waterlogged. It wouldn’t have made it have a knot rescued it from the pot. We removed as much potting soil as we could. We split the plant in half and put them into separate clay pots, which were very heavily perlited, which was just what the doctor ordered. It’s the perfect environment, and now it’s doing fantastic. But, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that it had a little more special meaning to me than just your typical jade plant -because of the look on this woman’s face when she gave me this plant; passing on this little, living thing that her mom had nurtured.   Pick herbs for fresh use and also for drying. Most herbs have a more concentrated flavor if they are not allowed to bolt or flower. Frequent harvesting will also accomplish that. As a bonus, harvesting encourages fresh, vigorous growth and keeps them growing longer into the season.   Today is World Mosquito Day and so, today’s poems are all about the Mosquito; the Minnesota state bird. Here are a few interesting facts about mosquitos. First, only the female mosquitoes bite. The lady mosquitoes use blood protein and other compounds to help them produce and develop their eggs. Second, they are attracted to Carbon Dioxide. Mosquitos track CO2 to find their protein sources. Three, mosquitos are terrible fliers. Windy days keep mosquitos away. This is another reason why I drag a large fan around with me in the garden. The constant flow of air keeps the mosquitos at bay as well as any bug spray.   Alright, that’s it for today's gardening news. Now, if you'd like to check out my curated news articles and blog posts for yourself, you're in luck, because I share all of it with the Listener Community in the Free Facebook Group - The Daily Gardener Community. There’s no need to take notes or search for links - the next time you're on Facebook, search for Daily Gardener Community and request to join. I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events Today is Saint Bernard of Clairvaux‘s day; he was the patron saint of beekeepers. He's also the patron saint of bees and candlemakers St. Bernard was a doctor of the church and a French Abbot. He was apparently a fabulous preacher, with excellent speaking skills. He became known as the "honey-sweet" doctor for his honey-sweet language; he would draw people in. When he decided to become a part of the monastery, he had to give up and get up and give a testimony. History tells us that his testimony was so compelling that thirty members of his family and his friends decided to join the monastery. That’s how he became associated with bees; all that sweet talk. And it was Saint Bernard who said, "Believe me, for I know, you will find something far greater in the woods than in books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you cannot learn from the masters."   1811  On this day Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to the painter and naturalist Charles Willson Peale about his farming and gardening at Monticello ("MontiCHELLo”). Here's an excerpt: “I have heard that you have retired from the city to a farm and that you give your whole time to that. Does not the Museum suffer? and is the farm as interesting? I have often thought that if heaven had given me a choice of my position and calling, it should have been on a rich spot of earth, well-watered, and near a good market for the [produce from]the garden. No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden. Such a variety of subjects, someone always coming to perfection, the failure of one thing repaired by the success of another, and instead of one harvest a continued one through the year. Under a total want of demand, except for our family table, I am still devoted to the garden. But though an old man, I am but a young gardener. Your application to whatever you are engaged in I know to be incessant. But Sundays and rainy days are always days of writing for the farmer.”   1849  Today is the birthday of the French-Argentine landscape architect Carlos Thays (“Tays”). Carlos Thays took a business trip to Argentina when he turned forty in 1889. His job was to design a park in Cordoba. The project was life-changing for Thays when Argentina unexpectedly captured his heart. He decided to move to Argentina and he spent the back half of his life in his adopted homeland. If you visit Argentina today, the green spaces in the capital city of Buenos Aires are all thanks to Carlos Thays - the tree-lined streets, the parks, the paths, and the promenades. Essentially Carlos brought the French Landscape to Argentina - one of the many reasons why the country has a strong European vibe. It’s hard to imagine a Buenos Aires without trees, and yet, that is the sight that greeted Carlos when he arrived in 1889. Carlos recognized the immediate need for trees. You know the old saying, the best time to plant a tree is thirty years ago and the second-best time is today? Well, that, essentially is a philosophy Carlos adopted. He knew that the quickest way to transform Argentina into the lush landscape we know today meant making a commitment to planting trees. Over his lifetime, Carlos planted over 1.2 million trees in the capital city. Now, the other smart decision Carlos made was to focus on native trees for his plantings. One of the most impressive trees in all of Buenos Aires is the oldest tree in the city - a massive rubber tree that the locals call El “Gran Gomero.” The crown of Gran Gomero is over 50 meters wide. In Buenos Aires alone, Carlos designed over ninety percent of the public spaces in and around the city. In addition, Carlos worked on hundreds of projects all across Argentina. But a project that was near to his heart was the creation of the Buenos Aires Botanical Garden that covers 8 hectares. The garden was established a decade after Carlos arrived in Argentina. Carlos considered the Botanical Garden to be his masterpiece. It was Charles Thays who said, “To achieve happiness, it’s better to live in a cabin in a forest, than in a palace without a garden.”   1940  On this day the garden writer Elizabeth Lawrence wrote to her sister: "I have finished [the chapter on] Summer, and I only have [the chapter on] Fall to do—which is short. I hope I can get it done quickly, and have time to rewrite after your reading. If you get back before I do [from a trip with Bessie and sister Ann], and can find time to look into my garden, will you see if Nerine undulata is in bloom? And if it is, pick it when all of the flowers are out, and put it in your refrigerator until I get back. It bloomed last year while I was gone, and I have never seen it, and it is the most exciting bulb I have. I enclose a map of where it is, and of other things that might bloom. Don’t bother about any of them—don’t look for Ridgeway [color chart]. I am taking it with me in case we get to any nurseries.…"   Nerine undulata an Amaryllis. It grows 18 inches tall and has umbels of 8-12 slender, crinkled pale pink flowers, and it blooms in autumn.   1948  Today is the birthday of the man with the last name all gardeners covet - the lead singer of Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant.   Unearthed Words Today is World Mosquito Day and so, today’s poems are all about the Mosquito Lovely mosquito, attacking my arm As quiet and still as a statue, Stay right where you are! I’ll do you no harm- I simply desire to pat you. Just puncture my veins and swallow your fill For, nobody’s going to swot you. Now, lovely mosquito, stay perfectly still - A SWIPE! And a SPLAT! And I GOT YOU! — Doug MacLeod, Australian author and poet, Lovely Mosquito Announcing your arrival In a high-pitch buzzing-tone. As a tactic for survival, You’re seldom on your own. Red lumps display where you have been Often felt, but rarely seen. But if I catch a glimpse of you, my little vampire chum, I’ll make sure you get what you’re due And crush you with my thumb! — David Sollis, English publisher and poet, Mosquito   Grow That Garden Library French Country Cottage Inspired Gatherings by Courtney Allison This book came out in May 2020. In case you didn't know, Courtney is the author of the blog French Country Cottage and she also has a floral line with Balsam Hill. She also works as a freelance photographer and stylist for magazines. So, in short, Courtney was the perfect person to write this book. And, the only bummer is that the book was released during the pandemic. Now, what gardeners will love about this book is that Courtney shares all of her secrets for creating beautiful gatherings. And, hey, nowadays we only entertain with the people we care the most about - so we might as well make it extra special. What I love about Courtney's book is that she shares all of her gorgeous tips and tricks for elevating gatherings. she shows how to add layer and depth to all of your entertaining and her flower arrangements really set the stage.  Here's what Courtney's editor wrote about this book: "Courtney provides the styling expertise to host your own French Country Cottage–inspired gathering, whether in the backyard, at the beach, under an old oak tree, or in a country barn. A simple picnic; coffee by the lake; a cheese board for friends outdoors; a bistro table for two; a long table for a formal meal―each setting exhibiting Allison’s dreamy style for you to emulate. The pièce de résistance in every venue, any setting, is the gorgeous arrangements of seasonal flowers; Courtney’s bouquets will take your breath away, from spring to fall, for outdoors and inside." This is definitely one of my favorite books for 2020. This book is 224 pages of French Country Cottage Style for gardeners. You can get a copy of French Country Cottage Inspired Gatherings by Courtney Allison and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $30   Today’s Botanic Spark 1881 Today we celebrate the birthday of the poet Edgar Albert Guest. Edgar was known as the People’s Poet during the first half of the 20th century. Edgar's poems were happy and hopeful, which is why people like them. Here’s his poem called To Plant a Garden: If your purse no longer bulges and you’ve lost your golden treasure, If at times you think you’re lonely and have hungry grown for pleasure, Don’t sit by your hearth and grumble, don’t let your mind and spirit harden. If it’s thrills of joy you wish for get to work and plant a garden! If it’s drama that you sigh for, plant a garden and you’ll get it You will know the thrill of battle fighting foes that will beset it. If you long for entertainment and for pageantry most glowing, Plant a garden and this summer spend your time with green things growing. If it’s comradeship you sight for, learn the fellowship of daisies. You will come to know your neighbor by the blossoms that he raises; If you’d get away from boredom and find new delights to look for, Learn the joy of budding pansies which you’ve kept a special nook for. If you ever think of dying and you fear to wake tomorrow, Plant a garden! It will cure you of your melancholy sorrow. Once you’ve learned to know peonies, petunias, and roses, You will find every morning some new happiness discloses

Marcela Juan's work is grueling, but important. As a prosecutor in Lomas de Zamora, a suburb 45 minutes outside of Buenos Aires in Argentina, she handles some of the area's most disturbing cases. Juan specializes in cases of domestic violence, and femicide — the killing of a woman or girl based on her gender.Juan has been doing this kind of work for over a decade and her caseload is full. She says that especially over the past four years, these types of cases have continued to rise. By her account, so far in 2019, at least one woman has been killed per day in this province. As a testimony to that fact, today marks Juan's 15th day in a row in the office, and her desk is littered with stacks of papers laying out some of these horrifying crimes, which are all too common across Argentina.Violence against women is rising nationwide — and Juan is among a number of women trying to solve the problem. Some are working on legislation while others are taking to the streets, making their voices heard.    Sometimes, this job is very daunting, but Juan says that ever since she can remember, she wanted to be a lawyer and fight for justice for women.“Since I was a kid, I was always mediating disputes between friends. I was always defending someone who needed my help,” she said.And, she has her daughter to think about. That keeps her going. “I worry about my daughter because the realities I deal with at my job are cruel and more raw. Sometimes, I feel paranoid.” Marcela Juan, prosecutor, Buenos Aires Province“I worry about my daughter because the realities I deal with at my job are cruel and more raw. Sometimes, I feel paranoid,” said Juan, whose 9-year-old daughter's artwork can be found in and among the piles along with used maté beverage cups in her office. Related: ‘Maternity jail': Women in Argentina and the US find ways around restrictive abortion lawsIn Argentina, domestic violence and femicides are a huge problem. According to the Buenos Aires Times, in January 2019, at least 27 femicides were recorded across the country. That's a sharp rise over last year when in the first month of 2018, 19 femicides took place in Argentina.In Buenos Aires, some 46% of femicide victims were killed in their own homes, according to Mujeres de la Matria Latinoamericana (MuMaLá), a feminist advocacy organization in Buenos Aires. Almost 40% of the January femicides were committed with a firearm. Many of the perpetrators were the women's partners or ex-partners. Juan blames the misogynistic, conservative society where men consider women their property. She says there's a profound lack of understanding of domestic violence in Argentina.“This is a justice system written by men, for men.” Marcela Juan, prosecutor, Buenos Aires Province“This is a justice system written by men, for men,” Juan said. Marcela Juan is the prosecutor for Lomas de Zamora, a suburb outside of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ever since she can remember, she wanted to be on the side of vulnerable people who needed her help. Today, she specializes in cases of violence against women.    Credit: Florencia Trincheri/The World Juan's office is tucked away on a residential street in Lomas de Zamora, a poor area on the outskirts of the city. Paved roads give way to pockmarked streets. Some of the stucco houses that dot the neighborhood are neatly kept with flowers and the occasional mural of the Argentine saint, Gauchito Gil, painted on the side.Related: Argentina is divided over abortion — even the feministsThis afternoon, Juan flips through one file — a murder case. She reads aloud the testimony from the slain woman's family: “This is testimony from the mother of this woman. She says that her husband was very jealous. He controlled her cellphone; he made her stop caring for her other children from another man. And ultimately, he killed her.”The case is about to go to trial, and Juan ordered the husband to remain in custody because she fears he won't show up in court.She says this kind of case is typical. Unfortunately, Juan never sees women in preventative stages — it's always after the violence against them has become so severe, they've gone to the hospital, or they're dead.Roxana Fontana, one of Juan's legal assistants, agrees with Juan's assessment.Sadly, she says, these cases often follow a familiar pattern: “These cases often start with a restraining order. Then the man doesn't respect it, and the violence just keeps happening. Sometimes what happens is, a woman gets in a circle of violence where she doesn't tell friends or family and then all of a sudden, she ends up dead,” Fontana said.Juan says money for prevention programs or shelters does not exist in this city. Argentina is facing a growing economic crisis that has put many people out on the streets. In fact, people in her office must bring their own toilet paper. The window shades are falling apart, revealing a cracked window.Related: Mandatory sex ed curriculum stirs controversy in ArgentinaThe state of affairs compounds the problem of violence against women. “There is a lack of resources; women often have no places to go.

She's among a group of lawmakers committed to ending domestic violence. In January of this year, they called for President Mauricio Macri to declare a state of emergency after a surge in femicide cases were reported nationwide. Pitiot says while things are tough in Argentina, the laws are a model in the region.“Femicide is specifically included in the penal code. If you kill a woman, it's not only a homicide, but if you kill that woman because she is a woman, it's a femicide. And, you have a longer sentence.”Argentine Congresswoman Carla Pitiot“Femicide is specifically included in the penal code. If you kill a woman, it's not only a homicide, but if you kill that woman because she is a woman, it's a femicide. And, you have a longer sentence.”Despite that law being on the books, Pitiot says there needs to be more training and more preventative efforts — and this requires a budget, something Argentina is struggling with right now. To Pitiot, the lack of money being spent on preventative efforts means more women die.“The budget given to the agency in charge of creating policies for women only gave them 11 pesos per year per woman, which is basically the equivalent of 25 cents per year per woman. With that budget, you cannot apply any policies. And while these people say they care about women, they don't give them the money to make a difference.”One tool that can be effective — but needs better funding — is the crisis hotline that Pitiot championed four years ago. She says they are getting many calls but women who use it need services and direct help.Pitiot has spent her career fighting for women's rights. A painting of her hero, Eva Perón, hangs behind her desk in her office near the National Congress. Perón was the first lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952.“She was my inspiration for running for office. She fought for the right of women to vote,” Pitiot said, pointing to the Andy Warhol-style depiction of Perón in her office. Congresswoman Carla Pitiot is among a group of lawmakers committed to ending domestic violence in Argentina.   Credit: Florencia Trincheri/The World Others have also put forward laws to protect women.The Micaela Law passed last December. It's named after Micaela García, a 21-year-old activist and student who was found murdered in 2017 in the city of Gualeguay, 140 miles north of Buenos Aires.The law is aimed at training judges and law enforcement on how to better deal with cases of gender violence.Earlier this year, prominent actress Thelma Fardin started to work with lawmakers on a bill that would remove the statute of limitations involving crimes of sexual abuse. Currently, the law is only aimed at prosecuting crimes that occur when a person is under 18. She wants to change it so the statute of limitations is removed for everyone.It's a cause that Fardin has a personal stake in. Her accusations of sexual abuse against actor Juan Darthés rocked Argentina late last year. She alleges that Darthés assaulted her in 2009 while they were both starring in the hit series “El Patito Feo,” or “Ugly Duckling.” Fardin was just 16 and Darthés was in his mid-40s.Laura Azcurra is part of a 50-member collective of actresses that held a press conference in support of Fardin last December. Azcurra says that as an actress, sexual assault occurs all the time in Argentina. And the actresses coming together, yes it was kind of a #MeToo moment for them.“There was the historical aspect of that event. We didn't realize it at the moment, but we were unraveling something that has been quiet for a long time and because, well, we called it an awakening for women.”Laura Azcurra, actress, Argentina“There was the historical aspect of that event. We didn't realize it at the moment, but we were unraveling something that has been quiet for a long time and because, well, we called it an awakening for women.”The movement, with a hashtag by the same name, #NiUnaMenos or “not one woman less,” has also continued to gain momentum since hundreds of thousands of women called for a nationwide strike in October of 2016 to protest violence against women.Juan says she's glad this issue is getting attention. Marcela Juan is glad there is more visibility given to cases like the ones she deals with, but for now, she's still worried about the stacks of cases still on her desk — ones she hopes she can solve and bring closure for victims' families.  Credit: Florencia Trincheri/The World “Yes, I'm glad we have these movements that encourage and empower women. But how many women have to die before we realize that it's a problem. The numbers of women being killed are still so high.”Marcela Juan, prosecutor, Buenos Aires Province“Yes, I'm glad we have these movements that encourage and empower women. But how many women have to die before we realize that it's a problem. The numbers of women being killed are still so high.”New laws are one thing but a budget to make sure those laws are enforced is another. Argentina is in the middle of an economic crisis and many agencies, including the one Juan works for, are hurting.She says that more money is needed not just for her and her staff but to protect women who are vulnerable and facing abuse. In the end, Juan says, it's good that there is more visibility given to cases like the ones she deals with, but for now, she's still worried about the stacks of cases still on her desk — ones she hopes she can solve and bring closure for victims' families.Funding for this reporting was provided by the International Women's Media Foundation.

That keeps her going. “I worry about my daughter because the realities I deal with at my job are cruel and more raw. Sometimes, I feel paranoid.” Marcela Juan, prosecutor, Buenos Aires Province“I worry about my daughter because the realities I deal with at my job are cruel and more raw. Sometimes, I feel paranoid,” said Juan, whose 9-year-old daughter’s artwork can be found in and among the piles along with used maté beverage cups in her office. Related: ‘Maternity jail’: Women in Argentina and the US find ways around restrictive abortion lawsIn Argentina, domestic violence and femicides are a huge problem. According to the Buenos Aires Times, in January 2019, at least 27 femicides were recorded across the country. That’s a sharp rise over last year when in the first month of 2018, 19 femicides took place in Argentina.In Buenos Aires, some 46% of femicide victims were killed in their own homes, according to Mujeres de la Matria Latinoamericana (MuMaLá), a feminist advocacy organization in Buenos Aires. Almost 40% of the January femicides were committed with a firearm. Many of the perpetrators were the women's partners or ex-partners. Juan blames the misogynistic, conservative society where men consider women their property. She says there’s a profound lack of understanding of domestic violence in Argentina.“This is a justice system written by men, for men.” Marcela Juan, prosecutor, Buenos Aires Province“This is a justice system written by men, for men,” Juan said. Marcela Juan is the prosecutor for Lomas de Zamora, a suburb outside of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ever since she can remember, she wanted to be on the side of vulnerable people who needed her help. Today, she specializes in cases of violence against women.    Credit: Florencia Trincheri/The World Juan’s office is tucked away on a residential street in Lomas de Zamora, a poor area on the outskirts of the city. Paved roads give way to pockmarked streets. Some of the stucco houses that dot the neighborhood are neatly kept with flowers and the occasional mural of the Argentine saint, Gauchito Gil, painted on the side.Related: Argentina is divided over abortion — even the feministsThis afternoon, Juan flips through one file — a murder case. She reads aloud the testimony from the slain woman’s family: “This is testimony from the mother of this woman. She says that her husband was very jealous. He controlled her cellphone; he made her stop caring for her other children from another man. And ultimately, he killed her.”The case is about to go to trial, and Juan ordered the husband to remain in custody because she fears he won’t show up in court.She says this kind of case is typical. Unfortunately, Juan never sees women in preventative stages — it’s always after the violence against them has become so severe, they’ve gone to the hospital, or they’re dead.Roxana Fontana, one of Juan’s legal assistants, agrees with Juan’s assessment.Sadly, she says, these cases often follow a familiar pattern: “These cases often start with a restraining order. Then the man doesn’t respect it, and the violence just keeps happening. Sometimes what happens is, a woman gets in a circle of violence where she doesn’t tell friends or family and then all of a sudden, she ends up dead,” Fontana said.Juan says money for prevention programs or shelters does not exist in this city. Argentina is facing a growing economic crisis that has put many people out on the streets. In fact, people in her office must bring their own toilet paper. The window shades are falling apart, revealing a cracked window.Related: Mandatory sex ed curriculum stirs controversy in ArgentinaThe state of affairs compounds the problem of violence against women. “There is a lack of resources; women often have no places to go. There aren’t enough shelters or services so sometimes they just stay.” Marcela Juan, prosecutor, Buenos Aires Province“There is a lack of resources; women often have no places to go. There aren’t enough shelters or services so sometimes they just stay,” Juan said. Drawings from Marcela Juan's 9-year-old daughter can be found on her crowded desk at work.  Credit: Florencia Trincheri/The World That’s something that Congresswoman Carla Pitiot is working on. She’s among a group of lawmakers committed to ending domestic violence. In January of this year, they called for President Mauricio Macri to declare a state of emergency after a surge in femicide cases were reported nationwide. Pitiot says while things are tough in Argentina, the laws are a model in the region.“Femicide is specifically included in the penal code. If you kill a woman, it’s not only a homicide, but if you kill that woman because she is a woman, it’s a femicide. And, you have a longer sentence.”Argentine Congresswoman Carla Pitiot“Femicide is specifically included in the penal code. If you kill a woman, it’s not only a homicide, but if you kill that woman because she is a woman, it’s a femicide. And, you have a longer sentence.”Despite that law being on the books, Pitiot says there needs to be more training and more preventative efforts — and this requires a budget, something Argentina is struggling with right now. To Pitiot, the lack of money being spent on preventative efforts means more women die.“The budget given to the agency in charge of creating policies for women only gave them 11 pesos per year per woman, which is basically the equivalent of 25 cents per year per woman. With that budget, you cannot apply any policies. And while these people say they care about women, they don’t give them the money to make a difference.”One tool that can be effective — but needs better funding — is the crisis hotline that Pitiot championed four years ago. She says they are getting many calls but women who use it need services and direct help.Pitiot has spent her career fighting for women’s rights. A painting of her hero, Eva Perón, hangs behind her desk in her office near the National Congress. Perón was the first lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952.“She was my inspiration for running for office. She fought for the right of women to vote,” Pitiot said, pointing to the Andy Warhol-style depiction of Perón in her office. Congresswoman Carla Pitiot is among a group of lawmakers committed to ending domestic violence in Argentina.   Credit: Florencia Trincheri/The World Others have also put forward laws to protect women.The Micaela Law passed last December. It’s named after Micaela García, a 21-year-old activist and student who was found murdered in 2017 in the city of Gualeguay, 140 miles north of Buenos Aires.The law is aimed at training judges and law enforcement on how to better deal with cases of gender violence.Earlier this year, prominent actress Thelma Fardin started to work with lawmakers on a bill that would remove the statute of limitations involving crimes of sexual abuse. Currently, the law is only aimed at prosecuting crimes that occur when a person is under 18. She wants to change it so the statute of limitations is removed for everyone.It's a cause that Fardin has a personal stake in. Her accusations of sexual abuse against actor Juan Darthés rocked Argentina late last year. She alleges that Darthés assaulted her in 2009 while they were both starring in the hit series “El Patito Feo,” or “Ugly Duckling.” Fardin was just 16 and Darthés was in his mid-40s.Laura Azcurra is part of a 50-member collective of actresses that held a press conference in support of Fardin last December. Azcurra says that as an actress, sexual assault occurs all the time in Argentina. And the actresses coming together, yes it was kind of a #MeToo moment for them.“There was the historical aspect of that event. We didn't realize it at the moment, but we were unraveling something that has been quiet for a long time and because, well, we called it an awakening for women.”Laura Azcurra, actress, Argentina“There was the historical aspect of that event. We didn't realize it at the moment, but we were unraveling something that has been quiet for a long time and because, well, we called it an awakening for women.”The movement, with a hashtag by the same name, #NiUnaMenos or “not one woman less,” has also continued to gain momentum since hundreds of thousands of women called for a nationwide strike in October of 2016 to protest violence against women.Juan says she’s glad this issue is getting attention. Marcela Juan is glad there is more visibility given to cases like the ones she deals with, but for now, she’s still worried about the stacks of cases still on her desk — ones she hopes she can solve and bring closure for victims’ families.  Credit: Florencia Trincheri/The World “Yes, I’m glad we have these movements that encourage and empower women. But how many women have to die before we realize that it’s a problem. The numbers of women being killed are still so high.”Marcela Juan, prosecutor, Buenos Aires Province“Yes, I’m glad we have these movements that encourage and empower women. But how many women have to die before we realize that it’s a problem. The numbers of women being killed are still so high.”New laws are one thing but a budget to make sure those laws are enforced is another. Argentina is in the middle of an economic crisis and many agencies, including the one Juan works for, are hurting.She says that more money is needed not just for her and her staff but to protect women who are vulnerable and facing abuse. In the end, Juan says, it's good that there is more visibility given to cases like the ones she deals with, but for now, she’s still worried about the stacks of cases still on her desk — ones she hopes she can solve and bring closure for victims’ families.Funding for this reporting was provided by the International Women's Media Foundation.

WorkandTravel20.de - Der Weltreise Podcast über Reisen, Planung und Finanzierung einer Weltreise mit Michael Blömeke

Vorstellung, stelle Dich kurz vor Mein Name ist Norbert Bartl. Ich bin Journalist, habe als Redakteur bei den Nürnberger Nachrichten gearbeitet und als Reporter bei »Bild« in München und Frankfurt. Mit 25 habe ich meinen letzten festen Job gekündigt und lebe seitdem vor allem in Spanien und Südamerika, immer mal mit einem Kurzbesuch in Deutschland. Immer mit viel Freude, aber früher oft mit Geldproblemen im Ausland, zum Beispiel mit einer deutschen Zeitung auf Ibiza und Mallorca. Spätestens seit dem Internet mit gutem ortsabhängigen Einkommen. Mein Thema? Das, womit ich Erfahrung habe: Wie Sie zufrieden im Ausland leben. Oder wie es auf meiner Webseite heisst: Wie Sie sich nie mehr über hohe Steuern, überflüssige Vorschriften, nutzlose Behörden, geldgierige Politiker und sture Bürokraten ärgern... Warum bist Du auf Reisen? Das hat sich im Lauf der Zeit gewandelt: Früher aus Abenteuerlust, und weil mir im Alltag schnell langweilig war. Später lebte ich nach dem Motto, lieber ein wackliger Liegestuhl im Süden als ein fester Arbeitsplatz in Deutschland. Etwas Geld verdiente ich immer mal als Reisejournalist – was zwar interessant ist, aber nicht ganz einfach, denn bei vielen deutschen Verlagen ist die Zahlungsmoral nicht sehr hoch, jedenfalls damals. Inzwischen haben sich meine Reisen gewandelt: statt unterwegs sein lieber dortbleiben. Seit 1993 lebe ich ständig im Ausland. Wenn ich wohin fliege, dann um zu recherchieren, wie das Leben dort funktioniert. Wie bist Du unterwegs? Früher immer nur mit dem Auto, bis Sizilien, Ankara, Lissabon, Griechenland, ums halbe Mittelmeer durch Tunesien, Algerien und Marokko, und durch die Sahara bis nach Lagos in Nigeria. Inzwischen fliege ich fast nur noch, mit Reisetasche und Laptop. Koffer hab ich auch. Was gibt Dir das, interessiert Dich auf Reisen? Menschen vor allem, deshalb interessieren mich an Reisezielen gute Kneipen und Restaurants mehr als Kirchen und Museen. Deshalb gefällt mir Buenos Aires so gut. Wenn Du da einen Abend weggehst und in einem oder zwei Cafés sitzt, hast Du immer eine Handvoll neue Bekannte. Was hat Dich ursprünglich davon zurückgehalten, auf die Reise zugehen? Am Reisen gehindert hat mich höchstens Geldmangel. Das habe ich einige Zeit lang so gelöst, dass ich mit drei Kreditkarten besorgt habe. Immer wenn mein Konto mal 20 Mark im schwarzen Bereich war, bin ich mit Visa, American Express und Diners Club drei Monate nach Südamerika geflogen. Ein empfehlenswerter Dauerzustand ist das aber nicht wirklich. Was war Dein schwierigster Moment auf Reisen und wie hast Du das gelöst? Da muss ich nachdenken, denn was wirklich Bedrohliches ist mir nie passiert. Eine Sache in Nigeria vielleicht. Da ist mir mein Pass gestohlen worden, und bei der deutschen Botschaft in Lagos haben die so eine Arroganz an den Tag gelegt, dass ich gegangen bin. Ich wohnte dort bei einem Freund, der für eine deutsche Firma den Bau eines E-Werks leitete. Da kam immer mal ein Mitarbeiter aus Deutschland angeflogen, und ich hatte damals zwei Pässe, wegen der vielen Reisen. Ich hab dann einen Freund angerufen, bei mir zu Hause meinen anderen Pass zu holen und einem Kollegen meines Freundes zu schicken, der ihn mir mit nach Lagos brachte. Da war natürlich kein Einreise-Stempel drin, und deswegen wollten Sie mich nicht ausreisen lassen. Da standen wir dann in der Schlange beim Einchecken für den Lufthansa-Flug nach Frankfurt, da gab es für jeden Flug nur einen Schalter. Ein heimischer Mitarbeiter meines Freundes begleitete mich, und er redete auf den Grenzpolizisten ein, ohne Luft zu holen. Die Schlange wurde immer länger, nichts ging weiter. Der Polizist schüttelte nur mit dem Kopf, aber mein Begleiter gab nicht auf. Nach langen 50 Minuten – in denen kein anderer Passagier eincheckte – gab der Polizist entnervt auf und drückte seinen Stempel in meinen Pass. Der Flug startete dann mit fast einer Stunde Verspätung. Wird man nicht irgendwann Reisemüde? Was tust Du dagegen? Gleich zwei Fragen! Antwort 1: Ja, ich jedenfalls! Antwort 2: Weniger reisen und dafür länger bleiben. Kurz zur Erklärung: Fliegen nervt mich zusehends mehr. Diese unsinnigen, wichtigtuerischen Sicherheitskontrollen, dann die Sitze immer enger und unbequemer, und immer mehr völlig absurde Schikanen, die sich die Gesellschaften einfallen lassen, als ob es nur noch darum ginge, die Passagiere zum Lemmings-Gehorsam zu erziehen. Früher wurde die Rückenlehne eine Minute vor der Landung hochgeklappt, jetzt kommen sie damit schon eine halbe Stunde vorher in 6.000 Meter Höhe an, als ob das irgendwie wichtig wäre bei den fünf Zentimetern, die sich eine Rückenlehne überhaupt noch bewegt. Was kostet Deine Art zu Reisen im Monat ungefähr? Nach Monaten kann ich das nicht beantworten. Prinzipiell reise ich preiswert. Da ich zeitlich unabhängig bin, kann ich mir preiswerte Flüge aussuchen. In Buenos Aires war ich das letzte Mal für 475 Euro. Ich fliege meistens ins preiswerte Südamerika, da finden Sie erstklassige Hotels für 50 bis 80 Euro. In Paraguay musste ich beim letzten Mal etwas aufs Geld achten, weil die Amis während meines Aufenthalts dort meine Bank plattmachten und deshalb meine Kreditkarte nicht mehr funktionierte. Da war ich dann in einem zwar etwas abgewohnten Hotel, wo es aber an nichts fehlte, für 23 Dollar die Nacht. Wie finanzierst Du das, verdienst Du Dein Geld auch über Internet? Hast du ein Projekt auf Deiner Reise und willst Du es hier vorstellen? Das Projekt habe ich gerade beschrieben. Die Zahl der Deutschen, die weg wollen, steigt rasant, in gleichem Mass, wie alle etablierten Parteien immer mehr zum Feind der Bürger werden und das Leben in Deutschland immer unerträglicher machen. Aber einfach nur von einem Land in ein anderes ziehen, hilft heute nur noch bedingt. Da sind eine ganze Reihe wichtiger Dinge zu beachten, und ein potentieller Auswanderer kann eine Menge Fehler machen. Ich denke, meine Informationen helfen Menschen mit derartigen Plänen, die wichtigsten Fehler zu vermeiden. Ich staune immer wieder, mit welchen Vorstellungen manche Deutsche in ein anderes Land reisen und dort leben wollen. Da ist es kein Wunder, dass viele scheitern und zurückkommen und dann steuersparend von Hartz4 leben. Das muss natürlich nicht sein, wenn sie einige wichtige Dinge beachten. Welche Tipps hast du für Leute, die eine ähnliche (Welt)Reise starten wollen? Sie sollen lieber etwas weniger reisen und dafür lieber länger bleiben, so lernen Sie einen Ort und seine Menschen auch viel besser kennen. Keine Zeit oder kein Geld? Dann schmeissen Sie Ihren Job hin und suchen sich ein ortsunabhängiges Einkommen! Wie das am einfachsten geht, lesen Sie auf meiner Webseite (www.coin-sl.com). Vergessen Sie nie: Der Tag, an dem Sie Ihren Job verlieren, ist Ihr Glückstag!

It’s Rachel Rofe and Nate has given me some interview questions to answer here. So he told me to basically just take a bunch of questions and write down answers. But I think if I made a video, I could answer more. Let’s get started. The first question was, “What got you interested in starting an online business and how did you get started?” The answer to that is basically I was working in retail management before I did full-time online. I was working like 70 to 80 hours a week, I was going to school full-time, pulling these 36-hour shifts all the time, and it was just like pretty miserable. At the time, I was 23, I was making $55,000 a year and I thought I’d never be able to beat that, and I would literally apply for secretary jobs. I had just so many credentials, so many things and I wouldn’t even get hired for secretary jobs. So I felt like I was stuck in retail for the rest of my life. I came across one of those eBooks, you know, “Make a Million Dollars a Minute” kind of thing and in your underwear. But it was basically just an affiliate book just saying, “sell this book and every time you sell a copy, you’ll make affiliate commission.” That’s what I did. I started spamming Craigslist, not necessarily proud of it, but that’s what I did back in 2006, and I was instantly making between $500-$800 a day. So that was, like I said June 2006, and I’ve been full-time ever because I realized it was possible to make money online and since then I’ve done all kinds of things like affiliate marketing and copywriting kindle books and just offline marketing, and just really every business model you can think of because I just like to explore and try new things. Next question was, “Did you have any failures early on and what did you learn from them?” The big failure that I talk about a lot is that when I first started, like I said, I was making $500-$800 a day. And then I started learning about internet marketing. Until then all these people’s list and stuff and I found that every time I would get on somebody’s list, like they would market me something. And so I have like XsitePro stuff here or ad sense here. Everyone has a different opportunity. And because they all see you like you make thousands and thousands of dollars a day, then I would start to chase all of them. And so my income just taped because I stopped focusing just on Craigslist, which by now I could say it, was spamming, so not sustainable or really ethical or anything else. But the point is I just I realized when I focused on all these different things that it’s just not good for income or for really like just level of being okay with yourself. It was really hard. So what I learned from that is to focus. What I like to do now is I have my goals, this is for everything – let’s just say for income since that’s what we’re talking about. I take out my goals and then I basically reverse-engineer what I need to do to reach those goals. So let’s say I want to make $10000 a month, then I’ll think, “What do I need to do to make $10,000 a month?” Could that be like $500 student, $20 a month; that’s definitely a way. So what would I need to do to do that? So that’s setting up the membership site, getting content in, blah, blah and then day by day out exactly what need to be done and then just working towards that goal. So I figured that the niche I’m going to sell is in all that stuff, it must be something that I know about and I can provide value in. Maybe it’s selling X amount of copies with Kindle book; that’s something that I do now live. I love Kindle. I have 40 plus books there. And so I just think, “What do I need to do? What niche would I need to find? What can I write about and speak about intelligently or outsource?” that kind of thing. And then I just reverse-engineer because I’m so focused on my goal, I don’t sit and look at this opportunity and this opportunity. So that’s definitely what I learned from that. Next question: “What’s the main thing that made the difference for you to cross the line from struggling to become successful? Well I think I was unique and I was successful in the beginning and then it was when I started going wobbly off-focused and stuff, that’s when I stopped becoming that successful. So, I think when I became struggling was the last of focus, and also I was just, I think like starting a whole lot of things and even when I was focused, I was starting thing and getting excited about them, but sometimes it takes a little bit of time to build up momentum. So, when I was going paycheck to paycheck and it was really frustrating because I’ve been, it’s about seven years now, almost seven years and two months that I’ve been full-time online. So there were times that it was like paycheck-to-paycheck and so what I tell people now is that if you ever need assured income to offer some kind of service. So, for me that was copywriting. When I had that service and I was able to sell them all the time and I had guaranteed money from my freelancing that was just amazing because when you’re not working from a place of desperation – I don’t know. For me it’s a lot easier to work from a place of knowing I’m okay no matter what. I don’t really work so well under like stress. Some people they do, but that was just for me. Next question. “What’s the best piece of big picture advice you would give to someone just starting their online business?” I would say, again focus. Just figure out what you want to do and make sure that it’s something that people would pay for and then just focus on that, get that done. Don’t look at all the other bright ideas. I wouldn’t get under a million different people list just to get on the people’s lists that you think can actually add value to whatever you’re wanting to do. So, let’s say you want to do Kindle. Well get on to people’s Kindle’s list. I would put in a filter and then give it time to look at them like once a week or put it in a whole other email and then, whenever you’re looking for something specific, just search in Gmail and look for whatever tool you’re looking for. So do something for you versus constantly letting your day be dictated by what everybody else wants to sell you. Next. “What is your system for sitting down and getting work done on daily or weekly basis?” So when I said that I reverse-engineer my goals, what I do is – so I have my big picture goal and that’s kind of my year-out plan whenever I want to get done in a year. So let’s say make $10,000 a month. Then I break it down into a six-month plan. So what could I do to get that big goal done? Like what would need to happen for me to reach that year goal. So maybe the six-month plan is that I do my 500 members at $20 a month. So then, I break it down into what I need to be doing daily, like I was saying. So, basically now I know what my daily activities are because I’m working towards that long-term goal. And so whenever I schedule up my daily things, I look at like my daily to-do lists, I look at everything that needs to get done. I’ll schedule the hardest thing first. Well, I schedule either the hardest thing or the thing that’s going to make money first. So, like let’s say if I just send an email to my list, that might be the very first thing that I do and then I do the hardest thing. but it’s always one or the other. I want to get the hardest thing done quickly while I have momentum on that, tired or anything like that, and it’s also obviously the thing that make money, it makes to do right away. So that if I walk away at the end of the day I can say at least I’ve done something that brings me towards income. Every day I want to do something that brings me towards income because it’s a very easy to just fill yourself with jus busy work and not do that, and that’s not helping you at all. Okay, “What could you have done that would have made you successful sooner?” You know I had a whole bunch of products in the beginning and I didn’t keep a list for them. I didn’t believe in lists at that time. that was back in 2006 and 200. And so I think if I would have had a list that would have been great. I think if I would have emailed my list more, and I think just again the whole focus thing. “What would you tell people just starting out that they should focus on?” So I would say focus on whatever excites you. I think that if  you need quick cash, services are a great thing so that could be like copywriting or article writing. It could be like a video editing, graphic design, anything – like virtual assistance, anything like that. Or you can go on to oDesk and just see the types of things that people look for. So it could be a service. Also I love Kindle. I’ve been spending a lot of time with Kindle lately and I think it’s just really a quick way to be able to earn revenue pretty quickly. That’s passive income; you can start building in lists and stuff from it. I have my stepdad right now, I’m mapping out a book that he’s writing because it’s just a very easy like you don’t have to worry about copywriting. I mean you don’t have to make compelling descriptions but it’s not that hard compared to like learning how to write sales letters and building a list and all of that stuff. Amazon right now has tons of traffic they’re willing to bring you. So that’s what I would say. Next, “Why do some people succeed online and others never do?”  You know a lot of people say it’s because people don’t take action, but I don’t believe that. I think a lot of people take action. I think it’s the focused action. A lot of people would just do a whole bunch of random things and they see that one thing isn’t working and so they’ll jump to the next, and jump to the next. And I think that’s the biggest problem. also, it’s so often that you’re so close to hitting success and then you just like, “Forget it. it’s not going to work,” and then you go away. I think if people will give it a little bit more of a push,  more people would be successful. Okay, next question. “How is writing your online business changed your life?” Well, as I was saying back in 2006 I was working full-time, I was going to school full-time, got to sit in the office with the other retail managers and we would just talk about how much we hated our lives. I mean it was just terrible. And so now, I’ve been to all 50 states; I’ve travelled to all 50 states and lived in Rio de Janeiro, I lived In Buenos Aires, I’ve been to Europe and going again shortly. So I have a lot of freedom and I’m able to impact to a lot of people, and what I think is a positive way. Like this morning someone sent me an email and said, “Thank you for sending a love-tour industry,” and that’s why I want to be. One of the things that I want to be known for is just being able to make a difference. And I’m able to have much more of a platform to do that, to really support people which makes me feel really great. So I love and so hopefully, I know that it makes other people feel really good too. So I love that, I love flexibility. Right now, I know people are asking me, I’m running an event in New York City. I’m bagging this; I just ordered my green shoes from this awesome website that delivers it and then I’m going to an event soon. And so people are asking me where I live, like “I don’t know where I live right now.” I was in San Francisco and I just left and then I want to visit some family in Pennsylvania, got to go to my boyfriend in Kansas, and then maybe I’ll find a place in New York City. It’s just I can be really loose and flexible. And so I really appreciate all of that. And also when I used to go travelling, I would literally just drive down the highway and pull up my air card, get some work done if I needed to get work done, and then I keep driving. So if you can work anywhere, it’s awesome. Okay, “What motivates you to keep going and become even more successful?” I like to create “whys” so emotional “whys” and things that I start to just visualize and I get really excited. So for example one of the things that I’ve wanted to do, I did this last year and the year before because I wanted to give my family just a whole bunch of money. I wanted to give my parents money to pay off their bills; I wanted to give my family just like my sister and my brother. And then at the time it was her fiancé now he’s my brother-in-law, and then my mom and dad, just frivolous like go spend this money. And so I created that “Why”, and so I told myself once I had my next $80,000 month, I’m going to give them a bunch of money. I just kept thinking. It was so much more exciting to make the money, because money for money’s sake bores me but money where I can support people it’s just really cool. And so I just kept thinking about that, and it just gave me that “umph” that extra push to keep going. And so I had the $80,000 that month and I gave my family the money and it was incredible. I was shaking when I gave it to them. I was so terrified, not like terrifying but just like, it is really a cool moment. So there’s that and there is a whole bunch of things that I love to do just to give back to people. So different charities and different things like that. And that’s really, really fun for me. I feel like if I can have a bigger platform to make a difference, that’s what I want to use it for; it’s just doing more good in the world. All right, next. “What is your favourite software tool that you use in your business and why?” Probably Kinstant Formatter that’s actually something that I created where I had a programmer create it. But with all the Kindle books it’s very easy to upload them and for them to look bad. And so I had a book that I’ve been like $3000 a month, and then I started getting bad reviews because of the formatting. I didn’t realize that even the formatting was bad, but I didn’t know how to fix it. I kept reading all the Amazon stuff but it was just like the zillions of rules and terms of service and that stuff and I just could not figure it out. I don’t like all that detailed stuff. So I asked my programmer if he can create some kind of tool that would basically just, I could put my Word file and then have it look good, have the books look good. And he did, and so it bred the tool wheel, it’s called Kinstant Formatter and it works amazingly for me. I ended up selling it. That’s got on to sell thousands and thousands of copies too. Okay, next question. “How much of your time do you dedicate to 1) Self-education and learning new skills; 2) Generating new traffic, leads and customers for your business; and 3) Generating revenue.” Okay, so No. 1 – Self-education and learning new skills. All right, every day. But I’m in New York so there; right now is for personal development workshop. Every day I’d like to read at least 15 pages of something self-development or listen to 15 minutes of audio that’s personal self-development. So I think it’s a constant thing. I read this awesome quote on Facebook that was something like, “People say motivation doesn’t last.” Like when you think about these rah-rah personal development things, that people say motivation doesn’t last, only they’re just bathing. That’s why you do it daily, right? So that’s how I feel about personal development; every day I want to do something more and learning new skills. That’s also really important, and at least once a week I go through and I buy new courses and then I go through it and I look that. And then I don’t spend hours, and hours and hours, but I definitely want to look through and see what’s going, see what I’m missing. Things change quickly and I think it’s really important to keep yourself educated. Generating new traffic, leads and customers for your business. Right now, what I’m working on is launching a new book at least once a month and then also having either an internal launch for my list, or an external launch for my internet marketing stuff and other niches so that I’m always making sure that it’s systemized that I’m bringing in new people. And then generating revenue – same thing. Every day I’d like to do something that’s going to bring in money. That doesn’t mean like emailing my list every day, but just something, that works towards gaining more revenue. Okay. “What are some of our best Kindle tips for people that are building a Kindle business and what are some tips for people who want to but haven’t started yet?” Okay, one of my best Kindle tips for people that are building a Kindle business is obviously you want to get as many reviews as possible. And so something that I love to do with my Kindle books is at the end of each book, I put a post-it note that just says, “Don’t forget to leave me your review.” And then I write like, “If you like this book, please leave me your review. It really helps me out, blah, blah.” And that’s a really great way to get more reviews. Other things I would say is make sure to use pen names for anything that’s not like if you’re in different niches, you use a different pen name for each line one before you start to lose credibility. I would say I like to do books that when I go for keywords I like to have stuff that’s 500 results back or less. What else? Makes sure not to skimp on the cover and, well no. That didn’t answer the specific question but the only ones that came in my mind first. As far as some tips for people who haven’t started yet, I would say start out small, say you don’t overwhelm yourself. What I like to do is I’ll create cheaper books like $0.99, $2.99 first. And so those only need to be 20 pages. Just make sure that you don’t misrepresent what people are going to get. Let them now that it’s a short book that they’re going to get whatever they’re going to get. And then if it’s profitable then you can reinvest your profits into outsourcing and writing more. So it doesn’t need to be this huge thing like you need to outsource the book and spend hundreds of dollars or write it yourself. Just start small and then keep building. But definitely make sure that you get it up there. Okay, next. “What Kindle strategy working the best for you right now?”  What Kindle strategy that’s working the best for me? I don’t know exactly. I mean there’s so many different things. I think just uploading the books and the review things is really, really helpful. I’ve been playing with the idea of doing like five-day promotions when you do KDP select versus just one and two days. And that I read about in book and his premise was it makes more sense to do a five-day promotion and put all your juice in it versus doing a couple like half-fast one or two day promotions. And that’s pretty cool. So that’s something that I’m playing with it. I think it’s going to be really good because whenever you have your free promotions, you always end up getting more sales. But if you do a five-day, you work really hard in getting your book to the top 100 for free downloads, then you just get so many more sales after. So that’s something that’s pretty cool and very contrary to what a lot of people say. “If someone only has an hour a day to build their Kindle business, what is the best use of their time?” So I’m assuming that this means that they’ve already gotten their book up. So what I would say then is if you have an hour left, I would go each day and go on related – well first of all I would have some kind of Facebook fan page. And I would log in at the Facebook fan page and then go in related Facebook pages and your niche and answer like posts and comment on posts, as your Facebook fan page name, so people start to see your fan page and like click over and just a way to get more traffic and more traffic. I would go on good reads and then I would just like look at other people’s books comments on them, go on in groups and stuff and just make activity. I would like self-promote your book and stuff, which is getting, like getting more exposure. That will be another way to get more people, trying to get reviews for your books. So this is all, if you’re trying to promote one book. If you’re wanting to do just writing your book every time, I would say get it one day, you would make an outline of the book. And how I make outlines of my Kindle books is basically I figure out what niche I want to be in and then I go on to Amazon, I take them the niche, I go on to Amazon and then I look at all the books in that niche. And I’ll open up, look inside, I’ll look at the table of contents and I’ll see what people are putting in their outlines. And then I’ll write everything else and I’ll see what comes up the most. And so that gives me kind of a loose outline. Then I’ll go into the reviews of those books and see what people liked or what people are missing. And then I’ll make my outline from that. So then either I’ll outsource it or this is something that you know about, then each day just get time, record like just voice record your chapter, just talk about it, then send it to a transcriber; have them clean it up and transcribe it for you. Then you can edit another day and then publish it to Kindle. So that’s something else. I would also spend a chunk of your time; maybe even 15 minutes just if you’re new to Kindle go into different products and making sure that you’re learning different things that work. I know I talk fast, hopefully this helps and just good luck with everything that you do.

Due to some production technical difficulty, the first 1.5 minutes of the show were not recorded today. We apologize for the inconvenience. Summary of today's show: Our usual Thursday panel of Scot Landry, Susan Abbott, and Gregory Tracy review the headlines of the week, including Pope Francis' historic meeting with his predecessor Benedict XVI; his decision not to move into the Apostolic Palace, but to stay in the simple quarters of the Domus Sancta Martae; his pre-conclave address to the General Congregation of cardinals; the annual recognition of two Boston priests; and reflections on Holy Thursday and Good Friday. Listen to the show: Watch the show via live video streaming or a recording later: Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Susan Abbott Today's guest(s): Gregory Tracy, managing editor of the Pilot, the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston Links from today's show: Some of the stories discussed on this show will be available on The Pilot's and The Anchor's websites on Friday morning. Please check those sites for the latest links. Today's topics: Pope Francis meets Benedict; Stays in his simple quarters; His pre-conclave remarks to the cardinals; Holy Thursday and Good Friday 1st segment: Scot Landry welcomed everyone to the show as we begin the Sacred Triduum with Holy Thursday. Scot welcomed Gregory Tracy to the show and noted that as an adult convert he came into the Church at the Easter Vigil. Scot said the only Mass on Holy Thursday in this diocese is in the evening at the Mass of the Lord's Supper. Susan Abbott spoke about her preparations for the Sacred Triduum as well. Scot said the world's attention is still focused on Pope Francis. He said last Saturday Pope Francis traveled to Castel Gandolfo to meet with Benedict XVI and he commented how frail Benedict looked. He said they prayed together in the chapel and had a private meeting. Greg said no other pope has had a predecessor to turn to ever like this. He said in essence, it's like when a bishop or archbishop has a living predecessor around so it's not completely unusual. Yet, it's good to have someone to talk to about a unique circumstance of being pope and the reports say they have talked several times on the phone. Greg said that Benedict looks so frail that he wonders if he was keeping up a brave front, keeping private how frail he was. He also noted how when they prayed, Pope Francis didn't take his place of primacy in the chapel, but said that as brothers they would kneel next to each other. He said without the secular papal monarchy of the past, it lets him leave behind many of the trappings of monarchy. Scot said another conspicuous element of the meeting in the photos was a big box of papers sitting between them that hasn't been explained. Some reports have said that it was a 300-page memo that Benedict wrote to Pope Francis, like a transition memo. Susan Abbott repeated that it was startling to see the frailty of Benedict and that it was a special moment between the two men when they knelt together. Scot said Pope Francis didn't have much time to jump into Holy Week after being elected even as it is the busiest week of the year. It's also been announced that Pope Francis has chosen not to move into the Apostolic Palace, where popes have lived since 1903, but to stay in the Domus Sancta Martae. Scot said he was surprised he was going to live in the Domus. Susan said he had said he wanted to live in community and that many parish priests say themselves that living along is very lonely and it must be even more so for the pope. She said a friend has stayed there and reported that it is comfortable but simple. Scot noted that Pope Francis has celebrated Mass there with Vatican gardeners and cleaners and wants to continue to say public Masses. Greg Tracy reported that Antonio Enrique, the editor of the Pilot, once stayed in Room 201 of the Domus, the suite where the Pope is now living. Greg said Antonio was traveling with Cardinal Seán and the other rooms were all filled up and this was the only room left even though it wasn't supposed to be given out. Greg said there's a small receiving room with a desk and chair, about the size of a medium-sized office. Right off that is a bedroom and bathroom and that's it. Very sparse and simple. Scot said we also have to have Fr. Jonathan Gaspar on the show to talk about how he ran into Pope Francis in the Domus and had one of the first private audiences with the Holy Father. Greg said it fits with the personality of the Pope that we've learned about, which is that he doesn't want to be cut off from the common man. He said his concern is perhaps for the Pope's security. Scot said when Pope Francis was given the tour of the Apostolic Palace he was heard to remark that 300 people could live there. Greg did point out that the Pope will continue to work in the Apostolic Palace each day and give the Angelus address each Sunday from its window. Scot predicted that Pope Francis will be living in the Apostolic Palace within two years for security reasons and for the sake of his successors who will live there one day. In the next story, before the conclave, Cardinal Bergoglio gave a talk to the General Congregations like the other cardinals. Afterward, the cardinal from Havana received the notes he spoke from and after the conclave asked Pope Francis to publish them and received permission. In it, he made four points about evangelization. Evangelizing implies apostolic zeal. Evangelizing presupposes in the Church the “parresia” of coming out from itself. The Church is called to come out from itself and to go to the peripheries, not only geographical, but also existential: those of the mystery of sin, of suffering, of injustice, those of ignorance and of the absence of faith, those of thought, those of every form of misery. When the Church does not come out from itself to evangelize it becomes self-referential and gets sick (one thinks of the woman hunched over upon herself in the Gospel). The evils that, in the passing of time, afflict the ecclesiastical institutions have a root in self-referentiality, in a sort of theological narcissism. In Revelation, Jesus says that he is standing at the threshold and calling. Evidently the text refers to the fact that he stands outside the door and knocks to enter… But at times I think that Jesus may be knocking from the inside, that we may let him out. The self-referential Church presumes to keep Jesus Christ within itself and not let him out. The Church, when it is self-referential, without realizing it thinks that it has its own light; it stops being the “mysterium lunae” and gives rise to that evil which is so grave, that of spiritual worldliness (according to De Lubac, the worst evil into which the Church can fall): that of living to give glory to one another. To simplify, there are two images of the Church: the evangelizing Church that goes out from itself; that of the “Dei Verbum religiose audiens et fidenter proclamans” [the Church that devoutly listens to and faithfully proclaims the Word of God - editor's note], or the worldly Church that lives in itself, of itself, for itself. This should illuminate the possible changes and reforms to be realized for the salvation of souls. Thinking of the next Pope: a man who, through the contemplation of Jesus Christ and the adoration of Jesus Christ, may help the Church to go out from itself toward the existential peripheries, that may help it to be the fecund mother who lives “by the sweet and comforting joy of evangelizing.” Scot said it can be seen to criticize the Church today of looking inward to much rather than outward to where people live, in their minds and physically. This must have influenced some of the cardinals in electing him. Greg said he didn't see it as a criticism. Yes, the Church always has human flaws and frailty, but when there have been problems with the Church we have tended to look to our own interests and our own well-being, rather than to turn outward to go out to the whole world. Scot said Christianity is a movement of coming to Christ and going out into the world, never to be stagnant. Susan said she loves the repetition by the then-Cardinal about “sweet and comforting joy of evangelizing” in the opening and closing of the address. Susan said she was talking to Fr. Paul Soper recently who reflected that the apostles were cowering in fear in the upper room, but when the Holy Spirit came they went out with apostolic zeal and never returned. Scot reflected that many cardinals who weren't in the 2005 conclave didn't know Cardinal Bergoglio and so perhaps what he said in the General Congregations made the cardinals think he was the right man for the papacy at this time. Pope Francis said in his Chrism Mass homily to Rome's priests is that he wants them to go out to where the people are, not just to stay in their churches and rectories. In Buenos Aires, he had encouraged priests to say Mass in places where the people are if they found it difficult to get to the church. The Church needs to go out and find the lost sheep rather than wait for them to come back to the parish. 2nd segment: Scot said earlier this week, Cardinal Seán celebrated Palm Sunday Mass at the cathedral and on Tuesday, the Chrism Mass, along with hundreds of priests and many Catholic school students. Scot said after the Chrism Mass, there is typically the announcement of honors for two priests. Fr. Arnold Colletti, who has served 51 years, is pastor in Lexington, and Fr. John Sheridan, pastor of St. James, Salem, who will be moving to Middleboro-Lakeville-Rochester as part of Phase 1 of Disciples in Mission. Scot read the words of Cardinal Seán: “We honor a couple as a way of saying thanks to all of you for your generous service of God's people, fur the selfless ministry that makes the Good Shepherd's love: and pastoral care present and visible among us.” “I thank you for all of your support, fur your prayers. I am so proud co be your bishop and so lucky to be your bishop, and hope that all of you will have a glorious Holy Week. Know that each day during Holy Week, and every day of the year, I lift all of you up in prayer. God bless all of you. Thank you for being Catholic priests,” Cardinal O'Malley said Greg noted that the honors are not for particular acts, but that they have lived the priesthood faithfully and that the honor could go to many more priests. Scot said the priests who win the awards are always holy, happy, and healthy in terms of their relationships with their parishes. Greg noted that Fr. Colletti joked that the award he really wanted was to be the next Archbishop of Boston. Scot said tonight will be the Mass of the Lord's Supper. On this night, Jesus instituted the priesthood and the Eucharist. He taught us all what it means to be a disciple, not in places of honor, but in places of service. He noted that the liturgy doesn't end, but that the Eucharist is processed for silent adoration in a place of recession. Greg said growing up he had neither priesthood nor Eucharist and so he has come to understand what a great gift these are. He was given a gift that had always been there but he had never known. Scot said tomorrow is Good Friday, which we call Good because we recognize that through the cross we have received eternal joy. We can venerate that cross ourselves on Good Friday. Susan said we can't take a shortcut to the empty tomb, nor should we stay fixed on Good Friday. Tomorrow's The Good Catholic Life will be pre-empted by EWTN's coverage of Good Friday at the National Shrine of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.

The Third Man (The Lives of Harry Lime) was a old-time radio adventure series that ran in 1951 and 1952. It was based on the 1949 film of the same name. Orson Welles stars as Harry Lime, a perpetually broke confidence man, smuggler, and general scoundrel. He will participate in virtually any criminal activity to make a fast buck, but uses his wits rather than a gun. He draws the line short of murder, blackmail, or drugs. Even so, Harry is an endearing character and listeners love to hear of his one-step-ahead-of-the-law misadventures as he hops around the globe looking for his next pigeon. The zither music of Anton Karas adds a wonderful Viennese ambience to each episode and really makes this show special. THIS EPISODE: September 28, 1951. Program #9. Lang-Worth syndication. "Work Of Art". Commercials added locally. In Buenos Aires in July, 1944, Harry is hired to swindle an original Rubens from its beautiful owner. Orson Welles, Anton Karas (zither), Harry Alan Towers (producer), Tig Roe (director). 27:13.
