Joanna Coles is joined by Russian and American Journalist M. Gessen, whose reporting from both Putin's Russia and Trump's America has made them a singular voice on creeping autocracy. Gessen explains why Americans' faith in endless progress is misplaced—and how Trump, like Putin before him, overwhelms the system by attacking everything, everywhere, all at once: courts, media, universities, even law firms. They argue that the biggest danger isn't sudden collapse, but slow adaptation—that Americans are already getting used to living in a crumbling democracy. Hosted on Acast.

What if one of the most iconic characters in pop culture wasn't just a fictional hero, but a living archetype, an entity with its own will, forged in the minds of millions and fed by the imagination of its creators? Legendary comic book writer Alvin Schwartz thought his time with Superman was long over. But when a mysterious seven-foot-tall monk appeared at his doorstep claiming to be a tulpa, Schwartz was thrown into a mind-bending journey through the strange borderlands of reality and fiction. The monk, calling himself Thongden, insisted he was real… and fading. And he needed Schwartz to keep him alive. In this season finale, we explore the metaphysical memoir An Unlikely Prophet, uncovering Schwartz's hidden memories of psychic events, spontaneous channeling, and paranormal influences that began the moment he took on the mantle of Superman's writer. We hear bizarre tales of supernatural inspiration involving Jackson Pollock, mystic paintings of Hindu deities, and even a Hawaiian shaman who claims Tulpa Superman once saved the islands from volcanic doom. Then for our Plus+ members, we dive into the chilling Soviet archives of anomalous underwater encounters—where submariners report collisions with invisible crafts, stone spheres ramming hulls, and USOs that defy radar and reason. We follow the trail of Russian researcher Mikhail Gerstein into lakes and oceans where strange entities dwell beneath the surface, including terrifying run-ins from elite “hydronauts” who may have seen things no one was meant to survive.

Story at-a-glance Natural light is an essential nutrient many of us lack within our bodies. When ultraviolet light is introduced into the bloodstream, remarkable health benefits emerge The dermatology industry created hysteria about benign sun-induced cancers while ignoring that deadly melanoma actually results from sunlight deficiency, not excess exposure Once ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) was discovered in the 1930s, it produced miraculous results for patients on the verge of death and was quickly adopted by hospitals throughout America, demonstrating remarkable efficacy for a wide range of diseases To neutralize this competition, the American Medical Association published a doctored study that "debunked" UVBI, and it became a forgotten therapy. Russians and Germans recognized its value and have produced decades of research showing UVBI's remarkable utility This article explores UVBI's remarkable history, systematic suppression, and scientific foundation, demonstrating why this therapy represents one of medicine's lost opportunities

Launching the UK's latest strategic defence review, Keir Starmer pledged renewed spending on defence and vowed “everything we do will add to the strength of NATO”. Yet as NATO secretary general Mark Rutte calls for members to increase spending further to five percent of GDP on security, are Britain and its allies doing enough to secure the alliance's future and deter the threat of an expansionist Russia?

This week, we're joined by the brilliant Chrissy Stroop, a scholar, writer, and all-around truth-teller. Chrissy is a leading voice in exposing the Christian nationalist movement, the exvangelical uprising, and the growing marriage between the American and Russian far-right. She also happens to be a trans woman with a PhD in Russian history and a wild journey that took her from a fundamentalist Christian school in Indiana to teaching in Moscow. Chrissy and Andrea go way back to the early days of calling out Trump's ties to Russia when doing so earned us hit pieces, smears, and even being called CIA agents or Russian spies, depending on who was yelling. In this episode, we dig into everything: Russia's anti-gay propaganda laws (and why Trump proudly ignored the global boycott to host Miss Universe there in 2013), the dismantling of American public education, and why Christian nationalism is not just a domestic threat; it's a global movement. Chrissy breaks down how the Christian Right has long operated its own post-truth disinformation ecosystem and how the fear of hell was used as an emotional bludgeon to control kids like her, until her queer awakening in Russia at age 33. She's living proof that you can deconstruct the indoctrination, with a little help of Ranger Rick, and build a life outside of it. From pledges to the Bible and the American flag to Putin's regime and America's culture wars, Chrissy's story is a powerful testament to resilience, resistance, and reclaiming truth.  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Is there evidence to back up the story? *** On the tiny Caribbean island of Antigua, more than 100 people have vanished without a trace in what locals are calling an epidemic of disappearances that has left families desperate for answers and authorities scrambling to explain how so many can simply vanish from a place just 108 square miles in size. *** A brilliant Russian linguist who spoke thirteen languages and taught at university level was secretly living with the mummified corpses of twenty-nine children that he had dug up from cemeteries and turned into dolls — and his own parents never suspected a thing. *** In 1840, a devout young German woman named Gottliebin Dittus became the battleground for over 1,000 demons in what may be the most gruesome and well-documented case of demonic possession ever recorded.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = “My Battle for Gottliebin's Soul” (Historical Fiction) Lead-In00:07:17.208 = Show Open00:09:33.061 = The Exorcism of Gottliebin Dittus00:36:21.081 = The Doll Maker, Anatoly Moskvin00:48:46.011 = Antigua: The Island Where People Vanish Without a Trace01:05:56.480 = Soviet Soldiers Turned To Stone By Aliens01:14:12.405 = Show Close SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…https://weirddarkness.com/GottliefinDittusWeird Darkness Theme provided by ALIBI MusicAll other music in this episode is provided by Midnight Syndicate and used with permission.=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

After more than three years of bloody stalemate, Ukraine has launched unprecedented strikes deep into Russian territory—destroying nearly a third of Russia's strategic bomber fleet and targeting the crucial Kerch Bridge to Crimea. Now, Trump's peace push may now be stalled—not by Ukraine, but by Putin himself. With over $400 billion in Western aid already spent and millions of lives disrupted, is the war entering a more dangerous phase? Victor Davis Hanson examines this latest development on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Just when we thought the war might have some type of conciliation or armistice, Ukraine struck in a way that it had never done before and it was very effective. “  There was a drone attack on the Kerch Bridge, that only link, really, that's accessible for easy transport from mainland Russia into the Crimea. It's essential. … It shows you that Ukraine is now kind of having a turtle strategy. It's not going to waste its limited manpower slugging it out. But it's going to use drones and it's going to make over a million of them.”

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 11, 2025 is: debilitating • dih-BILL-uh-tay-ting • adjective Debilitating is a formal word used to describe things that seriously impair strength or the ability to function. // She suffers from debilitating migraines. // The class helped him conquer his debilitating fear of public speaking. See the entry > Examples: "Worry is such a debilitating thing that robs you of your energy ..." — Georgia Nicols, The Denver Post, 3 Apr. 2025 Did you know? Debilitating describes things that cause serious impairment of strength or ability to function. The word appears in both medical and general contexts; someone can suffer from debilitating nausea or debilitating stage fright. An adjective that takes the form of a verb, debilitating dates to the mid-17th century, making it the youngest of a trio: its source, the verb debilitate ("to impair the strength of"), dates to the early 16th century, and the noun debility ("weakness, infirmity") has been in use since the 15th century.

Defence analyst Hugh White says Australian leaders are in denial about how dramatically the world has changed, and need to get a grip on the deep, troubling forces propelling us into a new order of world power.The balance of global power has changed dramatically over the last 25 years.Even in the last five years, so much has happened - the pandemic, AUKUS, the war in Ukraine, a change of government here in Australia, Donald Trump's return to the White House, and all the tumult that has followed over the past six months.According to defence analyst Hugh White, we are quickly heading into a post-American world.However, Australia's defence assumptions remain based on a world which America built for us, where the United States is still a predominant world power that is heavily invested in Asia, and in us.Hugh says political leaders in Australia are in denial about all of this, and need to get their heads out of the sand, accept the the world as we knew it is passing away, and redefine our relationships with powerful nations including the United States and China in order to make our way in this new world.We've done it before, with the United Kingdom in the post-World War II years, and we need to do it again, Hugh says.Further informationYou can read Hugh White's essay, Hard New World: Our Post-American Future, in the June issue of the Quarterly Essay.If you're interested in more episodes like this one, have a listen to Richard's recent conversation with Marcel Dirsus about tyrants and dictators on the ABC Listen App, or wherever you get your podcasts.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.

Oral histories can be very revealing in understanding the beliefs and feelings that people had in particular historical moments. In Svetlana Alexeivich's amazing book Second Hand Time, hundreds of former Soviet citizens reflect on their hopes, fears and their anger at the fall of the nation and the society that they knew. This episode is particularly helpful in exploring the resentments that many Russians now feel towards their political and oligarchic class and to the west.*****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

What will it take to finally wean Europe off Russian gas? Can renewables help with grid stability? And is the EU making a mistake subsidising hydrogen? This week on Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich sits down with EU Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen to dissect the continent's energy transformation. In this wide ranging interview recorded at the Berlaymont building in Brussels — the home of the European Commission — Liebreich and Jørgensen delve into critical topics including reducing dependency on Russian energy, the economics of renewable technologies, the role of nuclear power, and the contentious economics of green hydrogen. Jørgensen defends the EU's ambitious climate goals while addressing concerns about cost, competitiveness, and political pushback against the green transition. Leadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

Send us a textTexas is at war, but not with crime, poverty, or actual danger. Nope, Lt. Gov. Dan “Buzzkill” Patrick is busy trying to nuke hemp from orbit, calling regulated THC products “poisonous” without a single shred of evidence. Translation? He's either high on his own supply of bullshit or getting off kneecapping an $8 billion industry while 53,000 jobs circle the drain.We drag this political clown show through the mud and hand the mic to real business owners, like Hometown Hero's CEO, who slap down the lies with receipts, lab tests, and common goddamn sense. Sorry, Dan, weed with QR codes isn't exactly a cartel operation.Then we dive headfirst into a Black Mirror-esque fever dream where AI might start holding humanity hostage for battery life. If your toaster sends you a ransom note, don't say we didn't warn you.From there, we go full shock-and-awe on Ukraine's mind-blowing drone strike deep into Russian territory—some are calling it “Pearl Harbor 2.0,” but with Wi-Fi and a kill switch. War got a software update, and it's terrifyingly efficient.And in the “let's see how far we can bend human biology before it snaps” category: the Enhanced Games. Think Olympics, but everyone's juiced to the gills and no one gives a damn. Jesse Magnusson looks like he absorbed a bodybuilder and spit out an Adonis. It's legal doping and it might be the future of sports whether you like it or not.We roundhouse kick tradition right in the teeth by asking the real questions: Why can't football be a full-contact death match like NFL Blitz? What if basketball was just streetball with sanctioned violence? And should we finally relegate loser teams so they stop getting paid to suck?This episode is a Molotov cocktail of politics, war, AI dread, and sports on bath salts.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on sustained Russian attacks on Ukraine cities; the body of a Thai man killed in the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack is returned to his home country; and the motive for Tuesday's killings in Graz, Austria, remains unclear.

In this powerful episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom sits down with former Navy SEAL commander, leadership expert, and bestselling author Jocko Willink for a compelling exploration of modern warfare, leadership, and human nature. Known for his no-nonsense approach to personal discipline and his frontline perspectives, Jocko offers listeners a rare glimpse into how he thinks about global conflicts like Ukraine, Russia, and the Israel-Hamas war—not from the comfort of theory, but from lived experience and profound strategic insight. Tom and Jocko unravel the unpredictable realities of war, the dangers of overconfidence in leadership, and the psychology that drives nations into protracted conflicts. They also examine the concept of "why America loses wars," the test of wills at the heart of every battle, and how who needs to win often determines the real outcome. Whether you care about geopolitics, leadership under fire, or just want to understand how values play out on the world stage, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

As he did in this first presidential term, President Trump has continued to signal closer alignment with Vladimir Putin. This included a tense February Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where he claimed Ukraine was responsible for the war.   The U.S. also joined Russia in voting against a UN resolution condemning Russia's action in Ukraine and Vice President Vance has called for a re-evaluation of the U.S.'s relationship with NATO. Could these actions, and others, help chart a return to a state of improved U.S.-Russia diplomatic relations or lead America toward defeat in the region and beyond? Those who argue that Trump's actions signal a return to normalcy say that European security should be Europe's responsibility, which could lead to a stronger, more self-sufficient NATO, and that recent years of antagonism have failed to alter Russian behavior. The Trump administration could help bring U.S.-Russia relations into constructive focus at a high-stakes moment.  However, those who declare this a defeat for America argue that Trump warming up to Putin will only encourage Russian aggression, hurt Ukraine, and erode our allies' trust.     With this background, we debate Trump's Russia Policies: Return to Normalcy or Defeat for America?  Arguing "Defeat for America":  Bill Browder, Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign   Alina Polyakova, President and CEO of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA)  Arguing "Return to Normalcy":   Jeffrey Sachs, Economist, Public Policy Analyst, and Professor at Columbia University  Thomas Graham, Distinguished Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations; Co-founder of Yale University's Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Program     Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Visit OpentoDebate.org to watch more insightful debates.   Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed on our curated weekly debates, dynamic live events, and educational initiatives.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In the early 2000s, the CIA gave the FBI a huge tip: A team of Russian operatives had been living double lives in the United States. They were posing as professors, journalists, financial planners, real estate and travel agents, all while sending information back to Moscow. Now, 15 years after they were arrested, Alan Kohler, the former Assistant Director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division, tells us what it was like to supervise the case which came to be known as Operation Ghost Stories.  In this episode, Alan mentions a number of different photos and videos from the Ghost Stories investigation.
