Podcasts about informers

Informers are playing a key role in helping the Russian government silence dissent, now one victim has turned detective to uncover their persecutor's true identity. In today's Russia there is a hunt for the enemy within. Anybody who is accused of voicing opposition to the war in Ukraine can face losing their job, or being prosecuted and facing a fine, or in many cases prison. Academic Aleksandra Arkhipova was denounced by a mysterious serial informer called Anna Korobkova, and decided to become an exile in France. Korobkova boasted of taking pleasure in reporting hundreds of people for allegedly being unpatriotic. But nobody had met her or even knew what she looked like. So, Arkhipova began to piece the clues together to discover the true identity of the anonymous figure who ruined her life.

Given the extreme circumstances, orders went out to remove informers using all available means; which led to arrests, interrogations and harsh sentences.   Meanwhile in 1844, the government issued a new decree forbidding traditional Jewish clothing and head coverings, with dire consequences.   Would Sir Moses Montefiore's visit alleviate any of these difficult challenges?   Chapters 00:00 The Struggle Against Forced Assimilation 02:55 The Role of Informants in Jewish Communities 05:47 The Consequences of Informing 08:51 The Murder of Informers and Community Response 15:01 The Rizhner's Imprisonment and Escape 21:11 The Clothing Decree and Its Implications 30:38 Resistance to Assimilation and Clothing Laws 37:55 Impact on Women and Family Dynamics 44:33 The Role of Sir Moses Montefiore 52:40 Continuing Challenges in the Russian Empire

Czar Nicholas hated Jews and Judaism in equal measure. He initiated 600 decrees against them over a 30 year period, and destroyed community life in Russia. The terror of his reign is relieved only by the faith and courage of families across the Pale of Settlement, carried out in defiance of the secret police and of Jewish informants.    Chapters 00:00 The Jewish Plight in the Russian Empire 02:54 Russian Policies and Jewish Resettlement 06:05 Nicholas I and the Cantonist Decree 08:57 The Impact of Conscription on Jewish Families 12:00 The Agony of Jewish Children in the Army 14:54 The Struggles of Jewish Identity and Survival 18:08 The Role of Informers and Community Dynamics 21:01 Resistance and the Response of Jewish Leaders 26:25 The Impact of the Cantonist Decrees 32:10 The Struggle for Jewish Identity 34:26 Nicholas I's Repressive Policies 36:51 Censorship and Cultural Suppression 39:43 The Role of Hevras in Jewish Life 40:40 Cohesion Amidst Oppression 44:50 The Irony of Forced Preservation 45:41 Educational Reforms and Their Consequences 53:08 Moses Montefiore's Visit to Russia 54:51 Reflections on Suffering and Resilience

Toby Harnden is the author of one of the best-selling and well regarded books on the IRA and the troubles, “Bandit Country”. Toby's book lifted the lid on the area where is was most dangerous to be a British soldier in during the conflict and the IRA brigade that made it that way. One of my most requested guests and an author that I've been dying to speak to, Toby and I spoke about their history, actions & legacy as well as the reasons why this small rural area was the thorn in the army's side throughout the entire conflict. We discussed the IRA's guerrilla attacks on the British Army in South Armagh, the 'Slab” Murphy family, Gaddafi & Libyan arms shipments, the anti-helicopter sub-battle within the conflict, the deployment of the SAS, the infamous 90's sniper teams and much more. PLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW WITH A DONATION IF YOU CAN SPARE IThttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/goodlistenerpodcast00:00 Intro 16:20 Stats & Facts on The South Armagh IRA 21:45 Thomas “Slab” Murphy & the Murphy family 43:00 1970's1:03:50 Informers 1:07:50 Sectarian m*rders 1:10:00 THE SAS (1976)1:15:14 WARRENPOINT 1:28:00 Glasdrumann scrapyard counter-ambush 1:33:30 Libya and Gaddafi 1:42:05 Richard Johnson & the American connection 1:50:45 Anti-Helicopter War 2:00:00 “SNIPER AT WORK” (1990's)2:22:25 1990's actions

Autocratic regimes often use people throughout the population to serve as informants. Why do people choose to become an informant and collaborate with autocracies?

“When someone lies to me . . . there's a reason they're lying. And for me, I think it's part of my ethical responsibility as a lawyer to expose someone.”In this episode of Voices of NCAJ, host Amber Nimocks interviews Alex Charns, a criminal defense attorney in Durham who has written a book about the FBI's secret tapes on the Supreme Court of the 1960s and his decades-long battles to access them. After being inspired by David Garrow's book on FBI tactics against Martin Luther King Jr., Charns has embarked on a career-spanning pursuit of uncovering hidden truths through FOIA requests and litigation against the FBI. His latest book, FBI Snitches, Blackmail, and Obscene Ethics at the Supreme Court, sheds light on his 13-year legal battle to release secret FBI files, revealing shocking revelations about unethical behavior and blackmail involving a Supreme Court justice.

When Robert Beeson strolled into our studio, it wasn't just a trip down memory lane; it was a revelation on how serendipity spins our lives in unforeseen directions. Our chat with this music industry titan, once an integral part of our band FFH's story, unearthed laughter-laced tales of early career choices and a crucial meeting that rerouted our destiny. We peeled back the layers of our journey from the cool kids of the music scene to the laid-back lives we lead today, offering a sneak peek into Robert's transformative African escapades and the evolution that comes with life's various stages.Our conversation took a detour into the more personal aspects of our lives, which are often just as intricate and compelling as our professional escapades. We mused over the magnetic allure of social media sabbaticals and the unexpected joys of beach holidays that bonded us beyond the sunshine. Sharing anecdotes about our quirks, from vehicle preferences to culinary adventures, the camaraderie we have built over the years echoed through each story, especially when ensuring each other's comfort became a priority during our recording sessions.Then, life's profound curveballs took center stage as we delved into the seismic shifts that come with unexpected changes. Robert opened up about his transition from music mogul to single parent and his endeavor to create a national support network, write a book, and launch a podcast for those sailing in the same boat. As we rounded off this emotional rollercoaster, we dabbled in the oddly satisfying realm of online videos, needle phobias, and how parenthood reshapes relationships, affirming that our identities are an amalgamation of past experiences, personal growth, and the new roles we embrace.

In this episode we interrogate the relationship between the IRA and the Irish public. From farmers happily donating their hard earned cash to informers shot and left as a warning for others, people across Ireland interacted with the IRA in very different ways.

One of the most important—and controversial—aspects of the War of Independence was the ‘intelligence war'.  Given the role of spies and informers in defeating previous insurrections, it is not surprising that Michael Collins, the IRA's Director of Intelligence, was keen to insure that history did not repeat itself.  How successful was he? To shed light on this ‘shadow war' listen to History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, in discussion with Andy Bielenberg, Cécile Gordon, Eunan O'Halpin and Gerry White.

​In this podcast, Prof Kieran McEvoy and Prof Mark Drumbl explore the intersections between informers and transitional justice. Drawing in particular on Mark and Dr Barbora Hola's research on informers and collaborators in the former Czechoslovakia, this podcast explores the role of informers in transitional justice so far and considers what transitional justice should do with informers. Kieran and Mark discuss the complex motivations behind informing, reactions to informing, and the implications for victims of the activity of informants. https://law.wlu.edu/faculty/full-time-faculty/mark-drumbl https://pure.qub.ac.uk/en/persons/kieran-mcevoy

With the Left/socialist rise in power, get ready for BIG government that will enter into all aspects of your life. If you don't carry the right political views, beware, you may be 'reported' and punished. Already, children are encouraged to inform on their parents, and neighbors are lauded for spying on neighbors. Conservative Americans are worried. Also, will Iran use inauguration day as an opportunity to attack the USA or its interests? Tamar Yonah speaks with her guest, Aaron Braunstein, Founder of www.CovenantAlliance.org as he shares the possible strategy of Iran, and the new Left/Socialist Democratic party that is set to take power on January 20th.

January 26 2020 - Sunday AM Bible Class   Handout:   Tactics, by Greg Koukl A Summary of Sam Books and Thoughts, Blog PART ONE: THE GAME PLAN Diplomacy or D-Day - Be diplomatic. A diplomat tries not to be offensive but will still faceup to the other side rather than running away or screaming back at a challenge. Listening toan Atheist's point of view and responding firmly but gently, rather than ducking for cover ormaking empty accusations in return, this is the diplomat's way. Reservations - If you have reservations about debate or argument, remember that people can disagree with each other without screaming at each other. Greg suggests that if anyone in the argument/debate gets angry, then you lose. So try and control the conversation to keep things civil. If you are calm and speak softly and controlled it is harder for your opposition to flare up. Also remember that division is okay if you are dividing the good from the bad - clearly it is good to keep Atheist ideas out when it comes to running the church. If we are searching for truth then we have to cut away that which is untrue! Remember that you can't argue someone into the kingdom of heaven but having the right knowledgeis a good start for them. It is not your responsibility to get someone converted, that's God's part in theprocess, you just have to step up and be willing to give it a go - defend God and his truth, and the restwill follow. Getting in the drivers seat: The Columbo Tactic (named after TV detective Lieutenant Colombo) - Learn to recognize when to engage someone in conversation about their ideas/beliefs. If someone makes a statement that challenges Christianity or some moral view from Christianity, ask them why they think what they do. You have roughly a ten second window to engage them. Use questions because this keeps the pressure off you and on them. Using questions you can direct the discussion and it is the other person who has to think more than you. Questions lead to thoughtful dialog rather than "loud statements" for and against. It's also a good way to really learn what the other person thinks. If you don't have an answer after that, just thank them for sharing and then think about what they said to come up with a response for next time. Often people haven't thought through some of their ideas (which may be quite ridiculous) and justasking "Why do you think that?" or "What do you mean by that?" or "Could you explain that ideafurther?" these questions may make them stop and realise there is no reason for believing their ideas. A classic example is the challenge to truth: "There is no absolute truth" or "Truth is relative". You couldask if their statement that there is no absolute truth is an absolute truth, highlighting the contradiction. Columbo step two: The Burden of Truth - Remember that others who make claims are the ones who have to defend them. Even Atheists or Pro-choice advocates have to justify their positions if they stand up and make statements. This is where questions come in handy - if you are not making statements and asking others' opinions then they have to justify their answers, not you. Use the questions "How did you come to that conclusion?" or "What evidence led you to believe that?" Never let someone change the subject when they can't answer. Always come back to the evidence for their opinion and then let them falter when they have none. Offer the Christian answers if they ask and be ready to defend the truth because you too have to defend your ideas and justify them using evidence. Step three: Using Columbo to Lead the Way - This chapter covers a number of situations that come up, and how to respond using Colombo questions. How to respond if someone asks if non-Christians are going to hell (a straight yes, though correct, is not diplomatic. Try asking them about their understanding of justice and punishment for crimes and whether it is right to do so. Then share Jesus as a way for justice to be paid but for us to "get out of jail") You can use questions to help someone voice something they already know, leading them through a line of reasoning. You can use questions to ensure a safe discussion occurs, e.g. setting rules for conversation or clarifying that the other person understands we can disagree without hating each other. Use questions to narrate the debate, e.g. "Do you realize that you just avoided answering my question?" Don't forget to be diplomatic (nice) because it is too easy to use these tactics to beat someone ratherthan love them and lead them to the truth. It's not about shaming them, it's about revealing something that needs to change and then lifting them up by helping them come to the truth. PART TWO: FINDING THE FLAWS Suicide: Views that self destruct - These are views or statements that, if they are true, prove themselves false. Variations on the theme "there is no truth" are common. Saying that "God doesn't take sides" assumes that God takes that side, proving the view false. Pseudo-questions such as "Can God make a rock so big that he can't lift it" are nonsense questions. It's like asking if god is stronger than god and makes no sense. "People make mistakes, so I won't trust the bible." But you're a person and could make mistakes, so I'll trust the bible. "Saying that evolution designs by chance." Design implies a designer with a hand in events and is notchance at work. "Only science gives reliable truth." But science doesn't give itself its truth so is it true? "All religions are true." But some deny the truth of all other religions, e.g. Jesus is the only way versusother views. Practical Suicide - These are views that fail when you put them into practice (even if they aren'tcontradictory in them self), e.g. Saying that "arguing is wrong" is not contradictory but as soon as you try to defend that view you are arguing and proving it impractical. "It's wrong to condemn people". But that condemns people who think that it isn't wrong to condemnpeople. "You shouldn't force your morality on others". Isn't that view forcing your morality on others? Sibling Rivalry and Infanticide - Sibling rivalry is a way of describing ideas that compete, i.e. both can't be true, e.g. "good people go to heaven" and "good and bad are relative, not absolute". How then do good people go to heaven if there are no truly good people! Another example of sibling rivalry: "A loving God would never send anyone to hell" and "Why does Godallow evil in the world, why doesn't he punish bad people?" If you punish bad people you need a godwho will bring pain! "Homosexuality isn't wrong because it's natural". This implies that anything natural is right, but when it comes to homosexual couples adopting children they are trying to do what is clearly not natural, or they would have their own children! Infanticide is when prior concepts disprove what is being claimed, e.g. vocal chords do not exists firstrequires vocal chords to exists if one is to say them. "I can't believe in a God who allows evil in the world". This presumes the existence of evil, which canonly exist if God is in the world. Also, if morals are relative then how can the claim that evil existsdisprove God? If evil is relative, then the objection is nonsense. Remember that Atheists can act moral, so don't accuse them of that, but they can't justify their actions in the absence of a moral law giver. Their defense of their own morality works against themselves! Taking the roof off - Some views result in absurd conclusions if they are pushed to their limit. Saying that there is no objective moral good or bad means that we can't say that rape is bad, or that Hitler was wrong. To realize when an idea is absurd you will have to take it for a test drive to find out if the roof comes off. Example - the claim that homosexual marriage is morally okay because the government supports it. The government also supported slavery at one time, so it is a non-argument to say that anything is okay if the government supports it. "I was born homosexual so it's not bad". But people are born liars and murders too... The philosophy professor who "proves" god doesn't exist by dropping a pen and saying god doesn't exist because he couldn't stop it hitting the ground. Say that the professor doesn't exist if you don't catch a pen and then choose to let it fall. "That's just your interpretation of the bible!" But he will object if you interpret his words to mean thatyou can have his car. It's not the interpretation that matters, it's what the words really mean. Steamroller - Sometimes people will try to overpower you with words and ideas without listening tovalid counter-arguments. Learn to identify this behavior, stop it by saying, "stop right there. Youhaven't answered my question". If they persist, shame them by pointing out exactly what they haveavoided answering. If they refuse to play ball after that there is no point in talking with them - just leave the conversation. Don't cast pearls before swine. Rhodes Scholar - Just because someone is an academic expert it doesn't mean that they are basing their arguments on logical lines of reasoning. Be aware of when someone is trying to educate you or inform you. Informers don't try to justify their position. Educators make a case and leave the conclusion as a result of the evidence. Sometimes two definitions of science are used to confuse. "Science deals with the natural world only" suits when evidence points to a supernatural designer. But when it suits to rubbish faith, "science is a method using evidence and experiments." So the right methods are expected and the right answers are also expected! Historical science also includes assumptions about the expected findings, denying miracles even though we have records of eye-witness accounts. The Rhodes Scholar tactic is merely to ask for the reasons for what the opponent believes, and not just accepting their statement as truth. Just the facts ma'am - Use facts and figures to make a strong case. This is especially useful whena claim is made that doesn't stand up to the facts, e.g. "Religion has caused more wars and deaththan anything else" but 66 million were wiped out under Lenin, Stalin, and Khrushchev (atheisticcommunists); between 32 and 61 million Chinese have been killed under communist regimes since 1949; etc. Memories with precision any dates, figures, and facts that apply (the more specific the better) and then suggest that the person with the vague counter claim must face those facts. Facts are more powerful than a louder voice. Finding the right context for a reading can be used as facts to help interpret scripture too, e.g. using the log in your own eye verse against judging. This verse actually says you can judge if you do not have a log in your eye. IT is about not being hypocritical in your judgment so is actually telling you to judge! More Sweat, Less Blood - Working hard in training means less blood in the battle. Spend time withothers who share the passion of learning these tactics and it gets easier to learn them. Face legitimateobjections to your faith - they will only lead to a clearer understanding of the truth and a stronger faith(if your faith is correct). Don't be shy, you have the truth so give it a go at least. Have courage.   Duration 39:35

BER has been built twice - the first time incorrectly, the second time incompletely. We hear from Marco, an engineer who worked on site. Employees were busy stealing copper instead of fixing the fire system. Some managers got rich taking bribes. Informers had their coffee poisoned. Joel and Jöran drive out to the unfinished BER terminal to inspect the too-short escalators that end with stairs. They were just one of 150,000 mistakes discovered in an audit after the 2012 cancellation. Cables were stuffed together in overloaded enclosures - a fire risk. The sprinkler pipes too small to carry the required water. More than 600 fire walls had to be reconstructed. And the builders forgot to install lightning rods. Even when it's fixed, BER will need another overhaul: "As soon as they open it they have to modernize it," Marco says. "The technology is old standards. New airports are already building in a different way. This is going to be from the beginning an old airport." But finally, heads are starting to roll... the wrong heads. The BER supervisory board fires the only people who know what's going on, creating new chaos. Then they fire the CEO Rainer Schwarz, but bungle the paperwork. Will any politician ever take responsibility? How To F#€k Up An Airport is presented by Radio Spaetkauf and RadioEins.

Reputations (Riverhead Books) Winner of several of the world’s most prestigious fiction prizes, including the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, Spain’s Alfaguara Novel Prize, France’s Roger Caillois Award, and Italy’s Premio von Rezzori, and published in twenty-six countries and counting, Juan Gabriel Vásquez is one of the most celebrated writers alive today.With the support of Anne McLean’s brilliant translation, Vásquez’s arresting prose is on full display as he examines the construction of public identity, the burden of memory, and the intersection of the personal and the political, all within the bounds of this taut, electrifying page-turner, Reputations.  Javier Mallarino is a living legend. He is his country's most influential political cartoonist, the consciousness of a nation. A man capable of repealing laws, overturning judges' decisions, destroying politicians' careers with his art. His weapons are pen and ink. Those in power fear him and pay him homage. At sixty-five, after four decades of a brilliant career, he's at the height of his powers. But this all changes when he's paid an unexpected visit from a young woman who upends his sense of personal history and forces him to re-evaluate his life and work, questioning his position in the world.  In Reputations, Juan Gabriel Vasquez examines the weight of the past, how a public persona intersects with private histories, and the burdens and surprises of memory. In this intimate novel, Vasquez plumbs universal experiences to create a masterful story, one that reverberates long after you turn the final page. Praise for Reputations "Vasquez, who likely came to your attention with 2010's scathing The Informers and certainly made your reading list with The Sound of Things Falling, the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award winner, returns with a reverberant new work about a life suddenly challenged."--Library Journal  "The narrative escalates, the mystery deepens, and the scope of the story widens with each page. This terrific novel draws on Colombia's tragic history and cycles of violence to tell the story of a troubled man trying to come to grips with the distant forces and events that have shaped his life."--Khaled Hosseini  "A fine and frightening study of how the past preys upon the present..."--John Banville  "I felt myself under the spell of a masterful writer. Juan Gabriel Vasquez has many gifts--intelligence, wit, energy, a deep vein of feeling--but he uses them so naturally that soon enough one forgets one's amazement at his talents, and then the strange, beautiful sorcery of his tale takes hold." --Nicole Krauss  "Juan Gabriel Vasquez is one of the most original new voices of Latin American literature."--Mario Vargas Llosa  "For anyone who has read the entire works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and is in search of a new Colombian novelist... a thrilling new discovery."--Colm Toibin Juan Gabriel Vasquez was born in Bogota in 1973. His books include the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin award winner and national bestseller, The Sound of Things Falling, as well as the award-winning The Informers and The Secret History of Costaguana. Vasquez's books have been published in seventeen languages world-wide, and he is the recipient of the Prix Roger Caillois in France and the Alfaguara Prize in Spain. After sixteen years in France, Belgium, and Spain, he now lives in Bogota.

Imperial Bedrooms (Vintage) The iconic novelist Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho, Less Than Zero) returns to Skylight Books to read and sign his latest book, Imperial Bedrooms, just out in paperback! “Brutally conceived, and effectively done. . . . There is no doubt that Ellis retains the ability to startle and disquiet.” —The Times Literary Supplement (London) "Enough talk of [Ellis's] literary genius, let's call him what he really is: a terrific horror writer. . . . An absolute creepfest [and] a festival of panting paranoia." --Chicago Sun-Times Bret Easton Ellis is also the author of American Psycho, Glamorama, The Informers, Less Than Zero, Lunar Park, and The Rules of Attraction. His work has been translated into twenty-seven languages. He lives in Los Angeles. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS MAY 19, 2011.

Welcome to another episode of The Behind the Scenes Show with Shaun Stewart and Eric Fell. This week our loyal hosts take a look at the newest American Pie movie "The Book of Love", followed by a look at Dolph Lundgrens new flick 'Icarus', and 'The Informers'. Enjoy! The all-new escapade of American Pie is packed with more sexy antics, smokin’ hot babes and good-natured uninhibited comedy than ever before. Rob, Nathan and Lube are three friends at Great Falls High determined to succeed in their mission of manhood and score with the ladies of their dreams. After some uproarious attempts with less than successful results, they accidentally discover a legendary guide to seduction hidden in the school library. It turns out to be a rarely-seen often-sought manual about the secrets to sexual success, penned by some of the school’s previous generations. But a few missing pages leads to hilarious surprises for everyone...including the alumni. There were those who called him Icarus. Everyone else knew him as a divorced father working for an investment company. But they didn’t know his other side—his dark side. Because Icarus (Dolph Lundgren) was at his best when he was killing people. For years, he’d worked as a sleeper agent in America—but when the Soviet Empire collapsed, he found himself in a foreign country with no one to trust. Determined to break from his dark past, he started over with a new identity. But you can only escape your past for so long. When a sudden mishap in Hong Kong blows Icarus’ identity, past and present collide—and the assassin realizes he is now the target. The people that want him dead will stop at nothing to get to him. And that means going after what he cares about most—his wife and daughter. The Informers is a multi-strand narrative set in early 1980's Los Angeles, centered on an array of characters who represent both the top of the heap (a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster) and the bottom (a voyeuristic doorman, an amoral ex-con). Connecting the intertwining strands are a group of beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep all day and party all night, doing drugs -- and one another --with abandon, never realizing that they are dancing on the edge of a volcano.
