In this podcast interview, Martin Armstrong provides a critical geopolitical analysis of current global tensions, focusing on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and potential escalation towards World War III. Armstrong argues that the 50-day deadline imposed by Trump is an unrealistic negotiation tactic that fundamentally misunderstands geopolitical dynamics. Armstrong suggests that Ukraine is on the verge of collapse and that NATO's interventionist strategies are deliberately provocative. He criticizes neoconservative influences, particularly figures like Lindsey Graham and John McCain, for consistently pushing for military confrontation without understanding the long-term consequences. He highlights how these interventions have historically failed, citing examples from Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The discussion emphasizes the economic implications of ongoing tensions, with Armstrong predicting a steep recession lasting until 2028. He argues that sanctions against Russia have accelerated the formation of BRICS and are driving countries to seek alternative economic arrangements. The movement of gold and capital away from traditional Western financial centers is seen as a significant indicator of these shifts. Armstrong is particularly critical of European leadership, describing them as the "worst crop of world leaders" in history. He points out the economic challenges facing Germany and the broader European Union, including capital controls and increasing governmental restrictions on financial movements. Regarding potential conflict, Armstrong warns that Putin is unlikely to capitulate and that the current strategies risk escalating into a broader global confrontation. He suggests that the financial capital of the world will likely move to China after 2032, drawing parallels with the historical decline of Athens due to internal polarization and continuous warfare. The interview concludes with a stark warning about the potential for significant geopolitical and economic disruption, with Armstrong emphasizing that the current trajectory benefits no one and risks triggering a catastrophic global conflict.

When I think of a product worth buying and a brand worth supporting, Avocado Mattress is at the top of my list.   In this episode, I sat down with Vy Nguyen, Co-CEO of Avocado Mattress, to discuss what it truly takes to build a mission-driven, vertically integrated company in a category dominated by commodity players.  Vy's story is rooted in deep gratitude for his family's immigrant journey, and he brings that same heart and intention to everything he does—from sourcing organic materials to creating calm, customer-first retail spaces. We discussed the early days of Avocado, the team's commitment to vertical integration, and how their transparency and dedication to sustainability earned them B Corp certification and customer trust. What stood out most was Vy's belief that consumers want to buy from brands doing the hard work, and his team is doing just that. Key highlights from this episode:   * How Vy's family journey from Vietnam inspired his values and entrepreneurial mindset.   * Why Avocado chose to own their manufacturing, from latex factories to inner springs.   * What makes an organic mattress truly organic—and why it's hard to fake.   * The impact of COVID and tariffs on their business (and how they adapted).   * How Avocado brings its story to life through experience centers and retail partnerships.   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this thoughtful and inspiring episode as we explore how one brand is raising the bar in an industry that's long overdue for change. If you care about clean products, radical transparency, and companies that do things the right way, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

「心痛、雀躍，或無地自容，都是靈魂裡的小小火苗。」 在讀完 《靈魂裡的火把》 後，我一直在想，我們一生裡是不是也都在追尋那一點點光？ 小說裡，男孩和女孩隔著網路、隔著海洋，卻因為梵谷與陳澄波的畫，找到屬於自己的火焰。而這次在臺史博展出的 《寫生的故事》，我看見的也是這樣的火 畫家陳澄波對家人與藝術的深情，張捷默默把畫藏在閣樓裡的守護，像是在告訴我們—即使世界動盪不安，也要用盡全力留住心裡的光。 我們都一樣，偶爾會迷路，偶爾會懷疑自己。但如果有那麼一點點火光，就順著它走吧。 或許有一天，會走到屬於你的星夜，和那片溫暖的風景。

Our featured conversation is a first-time visit to “House of Sand and Fog”, the Sir Ben Kingsley, Jennifer Connelly, and Shohreh Aghdashloo film, directed by Vadim Perelman, shot by Roger Deakens, scored by James Horner, which is a powerhouse drama so powerful it nabbed two acting Oscar nominations.

On this week's episode, the word that stands out from my 3 weeks away is KINDNESS. There were so many random acts of kindness that I experienced while traveling in Vietnam and Bali, from people I know and cherish, as well as from strangers. So today I pause, reflect and absorb how powerful it is to receive and give kindness. Our small acts of kindness are often returned with humility, gratitude and graciousness. Kindness generates more kindness. May you offer kindness to anyone you come in contact with. May you receive the gift of kindness, even from unexpected places. May the kindness we exchange be like the concentric circles when a pebble drops into the water, rippling out wider and wider into the world. May kindness prevail. Enjoy the podcast!

Hello to you listening in Thornton, Colorado!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Evildoing, like coercive power, depends on the cooperation, obedience, support, assent or at least passive tolerance of many people.  If you passively tolerate evildoing - or turn your face away - you are as much involved in it as the ones who perpetrate it. When you tolerate evildoing without protesting, you are cooperating, you are an accomplice.One who chose not to cooperate was Daniel Ellsberg, American military analyst and whistleblower, who saw clearly what had been going on with the 40 years of war in Vietnam. He chose to copy and then release over 7,000 pages of what became known as The Pentagon Papers. He exposed the long-running scandalous history of the United States' political and military involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1968 and secretly expanding its involvement with the bombing of  Cambodia and Laos.In 1971 then President Nixon filed suit to stop the NY Times and the Los Angeles Times from publishing the papers. He failed. The papers were published. Ellsberg himself was criminally indicted but charges were later dismissed.    “As Judge Byrne in Los Angles was issuing his dismissal of the indictment against Daniel Ellsberg, Nixon expressed his outrage and sense of betrayal: “ ..., on this national security thing, we have the rocky situation where the sonofabitch thief is made a national hero and is going to get off on a mistrial. And the New York Times gets a Pulitzer Prize for stealing documents ....They're trying to get at us with thieves. What in the name of God have we come to?” [SECRETS - A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg, pub. 2002, pp. 456 to 457]    What we had come back to was a democratic republic - not an elected monarchy - a government under law, with Congress, the courts, and the press functioning to curtail executive abuses, as our Constitution envisioned. Moreover, for the first time in this or any country the legislature was casting its whole vote against an ongoing presidential war. It was reclaiming, through its control of the purse, the war power it had fecklessly delegated nine years earlier. Congress was stopping the bombing, and the war was going to end.” [SECRETS - A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg, pub. 2002, pp. 456 to 457]        40 years of war ends - and Watergate is not far behind - scuttling Nixon's presidency.Individuals who choose to call evildoing what it is, who choose to withdraw their cooperation, ignite organized non-cooperation. That is where we are. We the People - an Army of Ordinary People - have ignited organized non-cooperation. We the People are fighting back and we're bringing our friends to topple the evildoing in the White House.    Thank you for listening and fighting alongside us for democracy! Click HERE to access a pdf copy of Secrets - A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon PapersClick HERE to access VOICES: UCSB Arts & Lectures presents Daniel Ellsberg & SECRETS - Vietnam & the Pentagon Papers (October 25, 2002) You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Listen in on many of the foreign policy discussions about Vietnam that take place at think tanks and government seminars in Washington, D.C., and you'll hear this sense of optimism that "Hanoi is on our side." They see Vietnam's historical suspicions of China and the country's ongoing territorial disputes in the South China Sea as key indicators that Hanoi will eventually join a U.S.-led coalition to counter China. Those presumptions, however, are wrong, according to Khang Vu, a leading Vietnamese political scientist and visiting scholar at Boston College. Khang joins Eric to explain why the U.S. is overestimating its military and trade leverage with Vietnam.

In a 2012 opinion piece bemoaning the state of the US Senate, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank cited a “leading theory: There are no giants in the chamber today.” Among the respected members who once walked the Senate floor, admired for their expertise and with a stature that went beyond party, Milbank counted Sam Nunn (D-GA). Nunn served in the Senate for four terms beginning in 1972, at a moment when domestic politics and foreign policy were undergoing far-reaching changes. As a member and then chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, he had a vital impact on most of the crucial national security and defense issues of the Cold War era and the “new world order” that followed—issues that included the revitalization of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's military capability, US-Soviet relations, national defense reorganization and reform, the Persian Gulf conflict, and nuclear arms control. In this first full account of Nunn's senatorial career, Frank Leith Jones reveals how, as a congressional leader and “shadow secretary of defense,” Nunn helped win the Cold War, constructing the foundation for the defense and foreign policies of the 1970s and 1980s that secured the United States and its allies from the Soviet threat. At a time of bitter political polarization and partisanship, Nunn's reputation remains that of a statesman with a record of bipartisanship and a dedication to US national interests above all. His career, as recounted in Sam Nunn: Statesman of the Nuclear Age (University Press of Kansas, 2020), provides both a valuable lesson in the relationships among the US government, foreign powers, and societies and a welcome reminder of the capacity of Congress, even a lone senator, to promote and enact policies that can make the country, and the world, a better and safer place. Frank Leith Jones is professor of security studies and the General C. Marshall Chair of Military Studies in the Department of National Security and Strategy at the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. His published work includes Blowtorch: Robert Komer, Vietnam, and American Cold War Strategy. Arya Hariharan is a lawyer in politics.

In a 2012 opinion piece bemoaning the state of the US Senate, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank cited a “leading theory: There are no giants in the chamber today.” Among the respected members who once walked the Senate floor, admired for their expertise and with a stature that went beyond party, Milbank counted Sam Nunn (D-GA). Nunn served in the Senate for four terms beginning in 1972, at a moment when domestic politics and foreign policy were undergoing far-reaching changes. As a member and then chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, he had a vital impact on most of the crucial national security and defense issues of the Cold War era and the “new world order” that followed—issues that included the revitalization of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's military capability, US-Soviet relations, national defense reorganization and reform, the Persian Gulf conflict, and nuclear arms control. In this first full account of Nunn's senatorial career, Frank Leith Jones reveals how, as a congressional leader and “shadow secretary of defense,” Nunn helped win the Cold War, constructing the foundation for the defense and foreign policies of the 1970s and 1980s that secured the United States and its allies from the Soviet threat. At a time of bitter political polarization and partisanship, Nunn's reputation remains that of a statesman with a record of bipartisanship and a dedication to US national interests above all. His career, as recounted in Sam Nunn: Statesman of the Nuclear Age (University Press of Kansas, 2020), provides both a valuable lesson in the relationships among the US government, foreign powers, and societies and a welcome reminder of the capacity of Congress, even a lone senator, to promote and enact policies that can make the country, and the world, a better and safer place. Frank Leith Jones is professor of security studies and the General C. Marshall Chair of Military Studies in the Department of National Security and Strategy at the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Terrain d'affrontements sanglants pendant des décennies, le Viêt Nam, 100 millions d'habitants, a gagné la paix et célèbre cette année le cinquantenaire de la chute de Saïgon en 1975 qui marqua la réunification du pays et la fin de la guerre du Vietnam, presque 30 ans après les premiers coups de feu contre les Français. Feux d'artifices et spectacle de drones ont précédé le 30 avril 2025 à Hanoï une parade militaire imposante sous le regard de Tô Lâm, le secrétaire général du parti communiste, nouvel homme fort de ce pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, pris en tenaille entre la Chine et Donald Trump. Des célébrations auxquelles les diplomates américains se sont vu interdire de participer par Washington tant elles marquent la déroute historique des États-Unis. Les images des derniers hélicoptères américains quittant en urgence les toits de Saïgon ne sont pas loin… Cinq décennies plus tard, le pays s'est transformé : il est devenu un atelier du monde, un acteur discret mais stratégique d'Asie du Sud-Est, un État autoritaire en pleine croissance. Comment le Vietnam a-t-il pansé les plaies du conflit ? Quelles mémoires en garde-t-il ? Quel est son rôle dans le grand jeu indo-pacifique, entre Pékin et Washington ? Quels sont ses défis ?   Invités : François Guillemot, historien, spécialiste du Vietnam à l'Institut d'Asie Orientale à Lyon, et ingénieur de recherche au CNRS. « Histoire du Vietnam contemporain.

(00:45) In de eerste aflevering van onze zomerrubriek Historische Protestsongs duiken we in het lied Get Back van Big Bill Broonzy met een wel heel bijzondere gast: zijn zoon Michael van Isveldt. De Amerikaanse bluesartiest Big Bill Broonzy zong in het lied Get Back vóór de opkomst van de burgerrechtenbeweging over de segregatie in de Verenigde Staten. De zanger en gitarist wordt gezien als een van de grondleggers van de rythm and blues; volgens Keith Richards wakkerde Broonzy zijn liefde voor de gitaar aan, en zijn muziek werd onder andere gecovered door Eric Clapton. Samen met gitarist Joep Pelt vertelt Michael van Isveldt – de enige zoon van Big Bill Broonzy – meer. Deze zomer duiken we in een wereld van muziek die meer deed dan alleen vermaken. In onze nieuwe rubriek Historische protestsongs hoor je de verhalen achter de liedjes die wereldwijd aanzette tot denken, actie of verzet. Van chansons tot hiphop, van Vietnam tot Chili; elke week staat een protestsong centraal die de tijdgeest ving en beïnvloedde. We namen de beste tips van jullie – trouwe OVT-luisteraars- mee. Welke artiesten staken hun nek uit? Wat wilden ze zeggen? En waarom raakt hun muziek ons nog steeds? Te gast is o.a. de koning van het Nederlandse protestlied; Boudewijn de Groot. (20:19) Begin jaren 80 waren er verschillende protesten tegen de plaatsing van Amerikaanse kruisraketten in Nederland. Het bekendst was het vredeskamp bij de militaire vliegbasis in Woensdrecht, maar ook bij de basis in Volkel werd geprotesteerd. Het was een publiek geheim dat daar al sinds 1959 kruisraketten lagen. Begin 1984 streek er een Vrouwen Vredes Kamp neer dat in de loop der maanden op steeds meer weerstand stuitte uit de directe omgeving. Paulien Loerts sloot zich als 19-jarige aan bij het kamp. Meer dan veertig jaar later reist ze samen Chris Bajema terug naar Volkel. Meer info: www.vpro.nl/ovt

Red Wemette : "Nobody Cares and What I did About It! The Red Wemette Story of the Chicago Outfit"Author of three books on CIA operations, Valentine's research into CIA activities began when CIA Director William Colby gave him free access to interview CIA officials who had been involved in various aspects of the Phoenix program in South Vietnam. It was a permission Colby was to regret. The CIA would rescind it, making every effort to impede publication of The Phoenix Program, which documented the CIA's elaborate system of population surveillance, control, entrapment, imprisonment, torture and assassination in Vietnam.While researching Phoenix, Valentine learned that the CIA allowed opium and heroin to flow from its secret bases in Laos, to generals and politicians on its payroll in South Vietnam. His investigations into this illegal activity focused on the CIA's relationship with the federal drugs agencies mandated by Congress to stop illegal drugs from entering the United States. Based on interviews with senior officials, Valentine wrote two subsequent books, The Strength of the Wolf and The Strength of the Pack, showing how the CIA infiltrated federal drug law enforcement agencies and commandeered their executive management, intelligence and foreign operations staffs in order to ensure that the flow of drugs continues unimpeded to traffickers and foreign officials in its employ.Ultimately, portions of his research materials would be archived at the National Security Archive, Texas Tech University's Vietnam Center, and John Jay College.This book includes excerpts from the above titles along with subsequent articles and transcripts of interviews on a range of current topics, with a view to shedding light on the systemic dimensions of the CIA's ongoing illegal and extra-legal activities. These terrorism and drug law enforcement articles and interviews illustrate how the CIA's activities impact social and political movements abroad and in the United States.A common theme is the CIA's ability to deceive and propagandize the American public through its impenetrable government-sanctioned shield of official secrecy and plausible deniability.Though investigated by the Church Committee in 1975, CIA praxis then continues to inform CIA praxis now. Valentine tracks its steady infiltration into practices targeting the last population to be subjected to the exigencies of the American empire: the American people.https://amzn.to/4nO5VY2Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In a revelation about the lead-up to the 2016 Trump-Russia investigation, newly released records show the FBI and National Security Agency had low confidence that Russia was behind the alleged hack of DNC servers. But that detail was left out of a memo sent to then-President Barack Obama.At least 30 people were injured early Saturday morning when a vehicle drove into a crowd outside a nightclub in East Hollywood. Police say the driver was attacked. The cause of the incident is still under investigation.At least 27 people died Saturday afternoon after a tourist boat capsized in Vietnam during stormy weather. State media reports the boat, carrying 53 people, overturned around 2 p.m. local time as a storm approached.

During the war in Vietnam, thousands of young men served as conscientious objector medics. They had been certified by their local draft boards as noncombatants, but many would know intense combat nonetheless. Without weapons training, they ran through the infantry lines, answering the desperate call, "Medic!" Many displayed exemplary heroism even at the cost of their lives. With the end of the draft, we will never see their like again. Conscientious Objectors at War: The Vietnam War's Forgotten Medics (Texas Tech University Press, 2025) tells their stories within the background context of pacifist churches in America. It is the first book exclusively devoted to such men, who emerged initially from the historic peace churches--Quakers, Brethren, Mennonites--and from Seventh-day Adventists, who would comprise roughly half of all conscientious objector medics serving in the Vietnam War. From World War II on, growing numbers of men from mainstream churches made the same choices, and after a Supreme Court decision in 1965, so too would men who claimed humanist and secular justification. The pages contain the stories of pantheists and Catholics, among others from the peace traditions. Gary Kulik, who also served as a conscientious-objector medic, interweaves his own story into those he recounts, stories of fierce combat, stumbling accidents, moments of fleeting honor and ever-present death. Gary Kulik served as a deputy director of the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, near Wilmington, Delaware. Previously, he was a department head and assistant director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History and the editor of American Quarterly.

Let's talk about Liberation Day — and more importantly, how it's going to end. Back in April, Trump rolled out what looked like a trade war on steroids: a flurry of tariffs aimed at countries big and small, with no clear structure except for one thing — disruption. It was pitched as a three-pronged strategy. First, if you want to sell into the U.S., we should be able to sell into your markets too. Second, we need to re-onshore American manufacturing. And third — and let's be honest, this was the loudest part — Trump wins.For a minute, it wasn't clear whether this was a real attempt to fundamentally restructure trade or just a way to set the stage for a bunch of “deals” later. The tariffs went out, the clock started, and everyone was told they had until August to make a deal or face serious costs. And yet, here we are in mid-July with just two completed agreements: Vietnam and the UK. None of the big players — China, the EU, Japan, Canada, Mexico — are done. So the question becomes, what's the endgame?Here's what I've been told: the White House is prepping a three-phase process that's all about creating the appearance of momentum. Phase one is joint statements — political handshake documents, not legally binding deals. These are meant to say, “Hey, we're working on it, don't hit us with the tariffs yet.” It's what they did with the UK, and it's what they want from everyone else by early August. These aren't trade agreements. They're vibes.Phase two is an interim agreement — maybe 40 to 50 pages, with some of the real trade language baked in. This is where you'll start seeing things like rules of origin pop up — basically, making sure countries like China can't skirt tariffs by routing goods through friendlier ports. It's technical, it's dry, and it takes time, but it's a necessary step toward real enforcement.And phase three, the big one, comes way down the road — probably after the midterms. These are the actual full trade agreements, hundreds of pages long, with all the boring but essential rules locked in. But here's the twist: if you think countries will bother going through phase two and three after they've already locked in the tariff rate during phase one, you're missing the enforcement tool — Section 232. The White House is making it clear: if you slack off, we'll start making noise. We'll investigate. We'll embarrass you. Think Mexican tomatoes — everybody knows they're breaking the rules, and we've just been letting it slide. But not anymore.So when all these joint agreements start rolling out at the end of this month, remember what they are: theater. The deals are political stunts to buy time, stabilize markets, and let Trump declare victory. The real work — the real meat — comes later. And that's how Liberation Day ends. Not with a bang, but with a bunch of bullet-pointed PDFs.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:05 - How does Liberation Day end?00:16:24 - Interview with Jack Gamble00:41:30 - Update00:41:46 - Epstein Discharge Petition00:50:44 - Virginia Polls00:52:18 - Rescissions Package Passage00:53:36 - Interview with Jack Gamble (con't)01:15:25 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

In 1966 and 1967, the U. S. forces in Vietnam increased their activity, launching many search and destroy missions, including Operation Masher/Whitewing and Operation Junction City. But as the US casualty count and the economic cost of the war rapidly increased, opposition to the war within the U. S. also grew. Meanwhile, in late 1967, the North Vietnamese Army began planning a major offensive that would consist of attacks all over South Vietnam and would hopefully deal a knockout blow to the ARVN and the government of South Vietnam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Skip the Mona Lisa when you visit Paris. Don't tour the Coliseum in Rome. Walk, don't hurry. Chris Arnade speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about a different way to travel. Listen as Arnade shares what he learned from Istanbul's small community mosques and how Avignon's Congolese-neighborhood cathedrals provided moving moments of spirituality. He also explains why Japan and Vietnam's emphasis on community lends itself to more happiness than America's "me-focused" approach, and what gear he carries--and leaves behind--for his extremely long walks through the world. Finally, he offers suggestions for choosing places to eat on the road that can elevate meals into meaningful experiences. This is a thoughtful conversational journey about veering off the beaten path to find home in surprising places.
