Podcast appearances and mentions of julius ceasar

Julius Ceasar is reported to have said 'It's only hubris if I fail'.  He was just one of many historical figures to find out that hubris has its price.

In Shakespeare's play, Antony and Cleopatra, Cleopatra declares “It is my birth-day: I had thought to have held it poor: but, since my lord Is Antony again, I will be Cleopatra.” Indicating that she was relieved to be marking the occasion in a better way. Julius Ceasar, similarly declares in Act V, “This is my birth-day; as this very day was Cassius born.” In Pericles, the First Fisherman says “he hath a fair daughter, and to-morrow is her birth-day;” (Act II).  In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Marcellus talks about celebrating our Savior's birth with singing. Other references to the day of one's birth show up in Henry VI Part II the Earl of Suffolk talks about having a cunning old man calculate the day of his birth (Act IV), and later in that same act, Jack Cade talks about how his father was ignorant of both his birth and parentage. All of these mentions of birth days, their calculations, and their celebrations, has me wondering what exactly birthdays were like for Shakespeare's England. We always celebrate Shakespeare's birthday in style in around here, but would the bard have celebrated his own day of birth? To find out, we've invited one of the authors of the article “Debating the Birthday: Innovation and Resistance in Celebrating Children” Peter Stearns, to the show to day, to help us explore the history of marking a birthday with cakes, gifts, and a gathering of friends. Would this have occurred for Shakespeare's lifetime? Let's find out right now, on That Shakespeare Life.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jezus Christus was eigenlijk Julius Ceasar, er zijn linkse samenzweringen bij de NPO en Keanu Reeves is onsterfelijk. Of niet? 

Av vissa historiker har hon blivit framställd som en beräknande giftmörderska, men vem var hon egentligen? År 58 f.Kr. föds Livia Drusilla in i en av Roms allra förnämsta familjer. När hon är tonåring mördas Julius Ceasar och det politiska efterspelet gör att hon tvingas i landsflykt. När Livia får återvända gifter hon om sig med Octavianus – blivande kejsare Augustus. Tillsammans lägger de grunden för det kommande kejsardömet som kommer att vara i 400 år.

Az orosz-ukrán háború elmúlt két évének katonai tapasztalatairól beszélgettünk Jójárt Krisztiánnal, a John Lukács Intézet és a Svéd Nemzetvédelmi Egyetem kutatójával, és Takács Márk századossal, a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem tanársegédjével.  A tartalomból: 0:33 - Mi történt, mi történik, és mi történhet a jövőben? Folyamatos a lassú orosz előrenyomulás. A mozgósítástól a területek feladásáig súlyos döntések várnak idén az ukrán politikai vezetésre. 9:39 - Milyen a morál ukrán és orosz oldalon? Egyáltalán, miért fontos erről beszélni? Az orosz katonák vagy zsákban, vagy győztesként mennek haza. Az ukránok a hazájukat védik, van egy morális fölény, de elégedetlenkedés is. 17:19 - Az ukrán ellentámadás kudarcának okairól. Megdőlt egy csomó mítosz, amit főleg az ukránok terjesztettek. Szun-Ce, Nagy Sándor és Julius Ceasar alapelvei ma is érvényesek. 21:23 - Hogy változott meg a nyugati és az orosz gondolkodás a háborúval kapcsolatban? Szemünk előtt van a hadviselés jövője. Mindenki felfelé hazudott egy kicsit. 30:23 - Van bármennyi tere a kritikának orosz oldalon, anélkül, hogy az ember kiesne az ablakon? A szakértő szemek a sorok közt olvasva már most is felfedeznek kritikai jellegű finom utalásokat. A Putyin utáni Oroszország hadtudományának várható következtetései. 34:10 - A harckocsik és a drónok szerepe a hadviselésben, tapasztalatok és kilátások. Nem mindegy, hogy egy harcmezőn egyszerre hány eszköz képes téged megölni. 40:14 - Meddig tarthat ki Ukrajna, ha valamilyen okból kifolyólag megszűnik a nyugati támogatás? Attól függ, mikor szűnik meg, de egyelőre az oroszoknál se látszik erő arra, hogy ki tudják mozdítani a holtpontról a támadást.  44:10 - Egy esetleges ukrán összeomlás/orosz győzelem esetén Oroszország továbbmenne Európában? Az oroszok bízhatnak a nemlétező csodafegyverben, de felesleges. A NATO destabilizálása, és a román biztonságpolitikai nézetek csiklandozása. A beszélgetést február 8-án rögzítettük.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ända sedan Caligula har härskare strävat efter effektiva maktmedel och hot att använda för att göra sig av med sina fiender. Vincent Flink Amble-Naess ser en röd tråd som löper genom historien. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Han hade kunnat ge dem åt lejonen, eller låta dem sönderslitas på sträckbänken, eller spika dem på kors längs med landsvägen. Men han var en barmhärtig kejsare, och fann därför svärdet mera lämpligt.  Det hindrade honom inte från att känna njutning vid åsynen av sina fienders blod, som stänkte över sanden och förvandlades till ånga i sommarsolen. Själv satt han i skuggan och fläktades av sina slavinnor. Det var bara en sak som bekymrade honom: tanken på dem som framhärdade i sitt brottsliga beteende; de som kallade honom Caligula den lilla stöveln istället för det namn han delade med sin berömde anfader Gaius Julius Caesar. För hans inre öga framstod deras antal som oändligt. Om rättvisan skulle skipas, tänkte han, skulle bödeln aldrig få släppa sitt svärd. Det skulle inte finnas nog med timmar under en livstid för att ta dem alla av daga. Men plötsligt kom lösningen till honom. Han reste sig ur stolen och talade, högt så att alla kunde höra:  Om bara hela Rom hade en och samma hals. Repliken återges av historikern Suetonius i en biografi över det romerska imperiets tredje kejsare, Caligula. Sitt alias fick han som liten pojke av soldaterna i sin faders här. Själv lär han väl knappast ha uppskattat det. Kanske är smeknamnet rentav en delförklaring till den blodtörst som enligt Suetonius var utmärkande för honom. Kanske var grymheten en form av kompensation för det löjliga namnet. Den unge kejsaren har sedan antiken inspirerat otaliga författare och konstnärer. Faktum är att vår kultur tycks vara besatt av den ondskefulle härskaren som litterär trop. Inte sällan får man känslan av att syftet är att legitimera våra egna härskare, vars godhet ställs i skarp kontrast till Caligula eller till någon av hans epigoner.  Den tragiska sanningen är emellertid att det inte i första hand är härskarnas medmänsklighet som räddar världen från undergång, utan deras brist på makt och inte minst på fantasi. Eller som bilmagnaten Henry Ford lär ha formulerat saken i en tidningsintervju: Om jag hade frågat människor vad de ville ha, hade de bara bett mig om en snabbare häst. Konsumenterna kunde inte föreställa sig explosionsmotorn eller automobilen. Och allt Caligula kunde föreställa sig var åtminstone som det verkade en ny och förbättrad halshuggning. Men kanske var han ändå någonting på spåren. Kejsarens önskan skulle nämligen komma att infrias, men först millennier senare, och av en ättling till det romerska imperiets ärkefiender, germanerna.  Den tysk-amerikanske kärnfysikern Robert J Oppenheimer var 38 år gammal när han tog anställning vid laboratoriet i Los Alamos. Trots att han var lungsiktig och mager som en pinne var han en handlingens man. I samtal med militären, som finansierade laboratoriet, visade han prov på en beslutsamhet de aldrig tidigare hade skådat. Det tog inte lång tid förrän han utnämndes till vetenskaplig ledare för den forskarinsats som skulle komma att gå till historien som Manhattanprojektet. Målet för verksamheten var att skapa ett vapen. Ett kärnvapen kallade man det redan under arbetets gång, eftersom den relevanta processen var tänkt att äga rum inuti kärnan av en uranatom. Idén var enkel: Neutroner från en kluven atomkärna störtar in i två intilliggande kärnor, som i sin tur sönderfaller och utstrålar fler neutroner. En kedjereaktion utlöses, och sprängkraften som utvecklas blir mycket stor, inte minst med tanke på hur lite material som egentligen krävs. Det vapen som sedermera blev projektets slutprodukt atombomben Little boy innehöll inte mer än 60 kilo uran.  Bomben i sig vägde emellertid väl över 4 ton. Det berodde inte minst på de säkerhetsanordningar som krävdes för att säkerställa att explosionen inte utlöstes tidigare än väntat. Dessa anordningar var så omfattande att de amerikanska generalerna länge var osäkra på om vapnet verkligen skulle gå att använda. Kanske hade de förslösat hela sin budget på ett meningslöst metallstycke. Kanske var Oppenheimer bara en förvirrad vetenskapsman som saknade kontakt med krigets realiteter. Det var först vid testsprängningen som gick under kodnamnet Trinity som de fick bevis på motsatsen.  Sprängningen ägde rum den 16 juli 1945 i öknen Jornada del Muerto i New Mexico. Oppenheimer stod på behörigt avstånd och betraktade detonationen iklädd skyddsglasögon. I en tv-intervju långt senare skulle han berätta om hur han vid åsynen av svampmolnet drog sig till minnes några rader ur det indiska diktverket Bhagavadgita, närmare bestämt ur guden Vishnus varningstal till mänskligheten: Mitt namn är Döden, världarnas förstörare. Eller som det heter i Oppenheimers egen översättning: Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.  Det han bevittnade var samma urkraft som några månader senare skulle hemsöka Hiroshima och Nagasaki, och sätta stopp för 1900-talets allra blodigaste konflikt till priset av 200000 människoliv. Några dagar efter dådet skulle Oppenheimer storma in på president Trumans kontor, smälla igen dörren bakom sig och kräva att de resterande vapnen skulle plockas isär. Kanske insåg han att det inte skulle krävas många fler bomber än de som redan fanns, för att utplåna hela den mänskliga civilisationen. Men det var för sent. Oppenheimer hade redan spelat ut sin roll. Och Caligulas önskan var infriad: Nu hade hela Rom en och samma hals. Vissa indicier pekar mot att den unge kejsaren redan under sin livstid hade sina aningar om att han tids nog skulle få sin vilja igenom. År 41 e. kr. planerade han att lämna Rom för gott och resa till Alexandria, där han hoppades bli dyrkad som en gud. Men innan avresan gick han en blodig död till mötes, mördad i sitt hem av de politiska rivalerna. Trettio hugg gav de honom, samma antal som hans anfader Julius Ceasar hade tillfogats under marsfestligheterna 50 år tidigare. Liksom vid mordet på Ceasar var de sammansvurna överens om att dådets syfte var att återgälda makten från kejsaren till senaten. Men inte heller nu skulle de få som de ville. Man kan döda tyrannen, men imperiet lever vidare. Nya härskare träder fram ur kulisserna, berättelserna om deras illdåd flyter samman i historieböckerna och snart är de lika svåra att urskilja som kejsarnas ansikten i marmor. Efter Caligula kom Claudius, och efter honom kom Nero, som när Rom stod i lågor lär ha klättrat upp på palatsbyggnadens tak och reciterat poesi medan folket gick under. Emellanåt framstår hela raden av romerska kejsare liksom av storkungar, furirer och tsar-pretendenter som en enda lång serie upprepningar. Vare sig det hotas med de romerska legionerna, med den tyska blitzen eller med kärnvapenspetsarna i Ryssland, tycks det mig som att hotet kommer från en och samma man. Caligula var 28 år gammal när han avled i blodförlust utanför det kejserliga residenset. Men enligt Suetonius lär han dessförinnan ha upplåtit ett sista ord, ur djupet av sitt lidande. Vivo, jag lever, lär han ha skrikit, så att det ekade i stengolvet.  Tanken är ofrånkomlig: Kanske tillhörde rösten inte enbart Caligula, den förvuxne pojken som mot allt förnuft insisterade på sin egen odödlighet. Kanske var det i själva verket en annan som talade den evige tyrannen, som genom kejsarens strupe lät meddela oss:  Jag lever vidare. Vincent Flink Amble-Naess, kulturskribent

If you thought influencers was a new thing then you'd be mistaken. If it wasn't for centuries of them we wouldn't have what we now know of as New Year's Resolutions. In fact, making promises to do better dates back to 4,000 years ago and ancient Babylon.Julius Ceasar is the one who declared January 1st as the start of the new calendar in 46BC and used it to honour the two faced god Janus who symbolically looks back into the previous year and forwards to the new one (something we encouraging you to keep in mind when setting your own resolutions this year).We were also far too entertained by the knights of the middle ages renewing their vows to chivalry in the Annual Peacock Vow, which involved laying their hands on a peacock. Considering New Year is Coach Sall's favourite, that she is big of fan resolutions AND that her surname is Peacock, it seems like it all fits together nicely

In Chapter eleven of The Chronicles of Belteshazzar, Nebuchadnezzar has a frightening dream that he wants his wisemen to interpret for him.  However, he won't tell them the dream – he wants them to prove they can truly interpret it by telling him what was in the dream.  When they can't, Nebuchadnezzar orders that all the wisemen, including Daniel, be rounded up and executed.  Daniel convinces Naaman, the Captain of the Babylonian Guard, to let him speak with Nebuchadnezzar.  Daniel calmly explains that all will be well, and that his God will reveal both the dream and its meaning.   I conclude the episode of a story from my own life in which I played the part of Cassius in the play Julius Ceasar to talk about how members of a “deep state” can work to defeat a ruler.  I also use the movie, Darkest Hour, to help illustrate this idea.  For more information, please see this webpage and sign up for further information and notifications! https://www.patreon.com/wisejargon

““The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger--but recognize the opportunity.” ― John F. Kennedy “ My intel's a little murky but I’m convinced politicians are very much like the characters in House of Cards. Meaning they create and exploit crises. While the President’s speech was padded with figurative language in regards to “fighting”, thousands of bleach drinking Americans have demonstrated many people take the President’s rhetoric seriously. As a stable genius, he must be aware of this. What does the most powerful public man in the world do when he’s backed into a corner? What are the extents of Donald Trump’s influence and might? What did Julius Ceasar do when he returned to Rome facing criminal charges? Something about history, repetition, and rhymes. There are no coincidences, so if the poop hits the fan and martial law is declared and Joe Biden’s inauguration is delayed...indefinitely, I may get the hunch this was per design. The Capital siege inspired gunslingers from all walks of life. There’s ANTIFA, Boogaloo Bois, Proud Boys, and all types of angry armed children and adults threatening to ensure Jan 20th is a blast. Pun intended. What happens if all the groups listed above mashed up the Capital with violence and terrorist acts? How will that affect the presidential change of command? If Washington DC is emerged in an all-out war come Jan 20th at high noon, will everyone stop, high five and do a change over? Right now there are over 25,000 troops in DC intercepting threats on a daily basis. A man was recently apprehended at a checkpoint with a handgun and 500 rounds of ammo along with false inauguration credentials. The FBI has acknowledged there exist a significant threat for large scale violence. With an estimated 250 thousand armed radicals on standby, in addition to the insider threat, the inauguration ball is going to be one hell of a party.

So what did I read this year? Well, I'm all over the place. But I thought I'd take a moment to hit some of the highlights. These are in no particular order. A Gentleman in Moscow By Amor TowlesThe best book I read this year is A Gentlemen in Moscow by Amor Towles. It's just a wonderful and wonderfully crafted book. I can't say enough great things about it. It has one of the most beautiful and perfect metaphors involving a wine cellar. I literally put the book down and cursed out loud. I couldn't believe how good it was. I thought about it for weeks. But really that's a technical thing. The story is set in 1922. It's about Count Alexander Rostov, an Aristocrat who survives the Russian Revolution because he wrote a poem. Instead of being put against the wall and shot, is sentenced to house arrest, and ultimately labor, in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. This book does what great art should always do, expand your experience of being alive. I don't think I've read a better book in the last five years and I don't expect I will in the next five. For after all, if attentiveness should be measured in minutes and discipline measured in hours, then indomitability must be measured in years.But as they came to the bend in the road where the Count would normally give a snap of the reins to speed the horses home, Helena would place a hand on his arm to signal that he should slow the team—for midnight had just arrived, and a mile behind them the bells of Ascension had begun to swing, their chimes cascading over the frozen land in holy canticle. And in the pause between hymns, if one listened with care, above the pant of the horses, above the whistle of the wind, one could hear the bells of St. Michael’s ten miles away—and then the bells of St. Sofia’s even farther afield—calling one to another like flocks of geese across a pond at dusk. The bells of Ascension . . .“I’ll tell you what is convenient,” he said after a moment. “To sleep until noon and have someone bring you your breakfast on a tray. To cancel an appointment at the very last minute. To keep a carriage waiting at the door of one party so that on a moment’s notice it can whisk you away to another. To sidestep marriage in your youth and put off having children altogether. These are the greatest of conveniences, Anushka—and at one time, I had them all. But in the end, it has been the inconveniences that have mattered to me most.” Anna Urbanova took the cigarette from the Count’s fingers, dropped it in a water glass, and kissed him on the nose.Since the day I was born, Sofia, there was only one time when Life needed me to be in a particular place at a particular time, and that was when your mother brought you to the lobby of the Metropol. And I would not accept the Tsarship of all the Russias in exchange for being in this hotel at that hour.”The Last Good Kiss By James CrumleyTo whipsaw things another great novel that I read was The Last Good Kiss by James Crumley. Here's the beginning:When I finally caught up with Abraham Trahearne he was drinking beer with an alcoholic bulldog named Fireball Roberts in a ramshackle joint just outside of Sonoma California, drinking the heart right out of a fine spring afternoon. I would say that Crumley is a guilty pleasure, but I don't feel guilty in the slightest. He's like Hunter S. Thompson and Raymond Chandler had a baby. After I finished that one, I plowed through two more of Crumley's books. No guilt. No regrets. The Story of the Stone by Barry HughartI read The Story of the Stone by Barry Hughart. It's the middle book of the Chronicles of Master Li and Number 10 Ox. These books aren't really like anything else. I have all three and didn't want to guzzle them. They're set in a mythical China that never was. They're wonderfully fantastic, very funny and surprisingly poignant in places. They are also something of a cautionary tale, the book struggled to get traction because it's in a genre of its own. It is fantasy, but Ancient Imperial China as a setting rather than the Middle Ages. Master Li is ancient and the smartest man in China. Number 10 Ox is the narrator and is played as the big, dumb strong guy, but there's a fair amount of unreliable narrator jazz.Big fun and great writing. Here's a couple of sloppily random snags“My surname is Li and my personal name is Kao, and there is a slight flaw in my character,” he said matter-of-factly. “You got a problem?”Fable has strong shoulders that carry far more truth than fact can.Master Li turned bright red while he scorched the air with the Sixty Sequential Sacrileges with which he had won the all-China Freestyle Blasphemy Competition in Hangchow three years in a row.The abbot used to say that the emotional health of a village depended upon having a man whom everyone loved to hate, and Heaven had blessed us with two of them.The Immortality Key: the Secret History of the Religion with No Name by Brian C. MurareskuReading this now. The book is an investigation into what is likely the oldest and most widespread religion -- centered around a funerary rite with hallucinogenic beer and later wine. I pounced on this after listening to an author interview with Andrew Sullivan. It's an intellectual detective story, and quite good. The first thing that hooked me was that this was an explanation for the Eleusinian Mysteries, which was a ceremony that was a well-kept secret in the Greco-Roman world. People made a pilgrimage to Eleusis, fasted, drank the beer, had unbelievable visions, and raved about the experience. Saying things like it's what made civilization possible. And say it removed the fear of death. Which was described as "If you die before you die you will not die."Best guess is the beer was brewed with ergotized wheat. But nobody knows for sure. But two things are interesting about this. One, we can actually test old vessels and figure out what was in these beverages right now. And modern medical research is showing that a single dose, if you will, of psychedelic mushrooms, cures depression and PTSD and takes away the fear of death in hospice patients. Essentially inducing a religious experience with chemicals. Johns Hopkins is doing this research, not some unwashed hippy with a YouTube channel.There are real questions about the early Christian Eucharist: was hallucinogenic? Was it an extension of the Eleusian and Dionysian mysteries. But for me, the craziest thing in the book to wrap my head around has been Goebleki Tepe the oldest known temple, dated from 10,000 B.C. Which appears to have been a sacred brewery for hallucinogenic beer. And, honestly, the hallucinogenic part is the least crazy part of that last statement. The 10,000 b.c. is nuts. That's 6000 years before settled agriculture. And the temple is constructed from gigantic slabs of stone, in a way that we didn't think people could build back then. Insert Ancient Aliens nonsense if you must, but the crazy part is that it reverses what I thought the causality of civilization. It was always thought that first came agriculture, then came beer. But it seems that beer -- as a sacrament -- predates civilization by thousands of years. The other crazy thing about his book is that the brewing of sacred potions was exclusively the realm of women. Old women. Which appears to be the origin of our archetype of witches. Boil toil and trouble anyone? And that this was stamped out as the underground Christ cult grew into the state religion of Rome. There's a lot going on in this book. And if anything I've just mentioned pique your curiosity, you should definitely check it out. Hamilton by Ron ChernowAfter watching the musical on Disney +, which scarcely needs praise from me, but is unbelievably fantastic. And amazing accomplishment on many levels -- I dipped into Ron Chernow's biography, it's also great. Here's a gem that seems uniquely appropriate to the current moment.> “This misfortune affects me less than others,” he told Eliza Schuyler, “because it is not in my temper to repine at evils that are past but to endeavor to draw good out of them, and because I think our safety depends on a total change of system. And this change of system will only be produced by misfortune.”The Bobiverse Series -- Dennis E. TaylorThis series starts with "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" I listened to a bunch of these, so I don't have a bunch of quotes. Just read them all. They are just lovely, humane, funny speculative fiction. A guy is turned into a Von Neumann probe, A self-replicating device to explore the universe. And as he goes, he replicates himself, fights off aliens, struggles help save humanity -- it's tremendously positive without being trite or stupid. Really, really great. And the audiobooks are some of the best I've heard. In fact, if I had to rank the best audiobooks I've ever heard this currently comes in third Best performance is Stephen Fry reading the complete works of Sherlock Holmes. Of course, the stories are great, but Fry is a great actor who loves Holmes and puts everything he's got into the performance. I can't overstate how good this audio is. Number 2 and Best ensemble performance is 'World War Z'And third place is Ray Porter reading Dennis Taylor's Bobiverse books. Richard Stark, The JuggerI dipped back into this one. Westlake -- Stark was Donald Westlake's pen name -- always said this was the worst book of the series, but there's a moment in this one that's just shockingly powerful. I won't ruin it, but Westlake is master for a host of reasons. Here's a bit of his description Freedman led the way to his office. He was short and barrel-shaped and walked as though he’d do better if he rolled instead. His face was made of Silly Putty, plus hornrimmed glasses.The Road to Character, by David Brooks This book is really a compilation of short biographies of people of great character and how they developed themselves. It is quite good. I dug into it as research on virtues. And the book paid for itself in the introduction here's an excerpt:I wrote this book not sure I could follow the road to character, but I wanted at least to know what the road looks like and how other people have trodden it. The Plan The plan of this book is simple. In the next chapter I will describe an older moral ecology. It was a cultural and intellectual tradition, the “crooked timber” tradition, that emphasized our own brokenness. It was a tradition that demanded humility in the face of our own limitations. But it was also a tradition that held that each of us has the power to confront our own weaknesses, tackle our own sins, and that in the course of this confrontation with ourselves we build character.My general belief is that we’ve accidentally left this moral tradition behind. Over the last several decades, we’ve lost this language, this way of organizing life. We’re not bad. But we are morally inarticulate. We’re not more selfish or venal than people in other times, but we’ve lost the understanding of how character is built.But it did occur to me that there was perhaps a strain of humility that was more common then than now, that there was a moral ecology, stretching back centuries but less prominent now, encouraging people to be more skeptical of their desires, more aware of their own weaknesses, more intent on combatting the flaws in their own natures and turning weakness into strength. People in this tradition, I thought, are less likely to feel that every thought, feeling, and achievement should be immediately shared with the world at large.This is the way humility leads to wisdom. Montaigne once wrote, “We can be knowledgeable with other men’s knowledge, but we can’t be wise with other men’s wisdom.” That’s because wisdom isn’t a body of information. It’s the moral quality of knowing what you don’t know and figuring out a way to handle your ignorance, uncertainty, and limitation.And in it I found this great quote from St. Augustine“How small, of all that human hearts endure, That part which laws and kings can cause or cure.”Aristotle's Politics and EthicsI first read Aristotle's Ethics in college for a class on Classical Political Philosophy. And I jumped back in, as research for thinking about virtueThere is an idea that reading old books is pretentious or stuffy or dull. And that's not been my experience at all. The reason to read books like this, even when they get a little hard is because they are incredibly useful. The Greeks and Aristotle, in particular, laid the foundation stones of civilization -- or drew up the attack plan for what G.K. Chesterton calls "the whole courageous raid which we call civilization." I like that metaphor, because it suggests heroism, fragility and glory in what reveals itself to the not-so-simple work of civilizing one's self and others. This gem came from the commentary to Aristotle's Politics. Aristotle's attention is here directed chiefly towards the phenomena of "Incontinence," weakness of will or imperfect self-control. This condition was to the Greeks a matter of only too frequent experience, but it appeared to them peculiarly difficult to understand. How can a man know what is good or best for him, and yet chronically fail to act upon his knowledge? Socrates was driven to the paradox of denying the possibility, but the facts are too strong for him. Knowledge of the right rule may be present, nay the rightfulness of its authority may be acknowledged, and yet time after time it may be disobeyed; the will may be good and yet overmastered by the force of desire, so that the act done is contrary to the agent's will.It underscores a naïveté of classical political thought -- and this is not to say that the ancients were generally naive -- this is just a mistake. Because, I think I could make a really good case that wrestling with yourself about doing what you know to be good is the defining human problem here at the beginning of the 21st century. The Good Shepherd by C.S. ForesterI have loved the Horatio Hornblower novels since I was, maybe 12. When I saw a preview of the movie Greyhound, I became aware that C.S. Forester had written this book about a commander of a convoy to Britain in the early days of WWII. Tom Hanks got this movie made, wrote the screenplay, starred in it. And that's a clue for you. Not that the movie -- it might be, I haven't seen it -- is good, but that the source material is excellent. Because somebody expended career capital to get it made. This is a tremendous book. The psychological tension and strain of command in combat is represented here in a way that I've never read before. I don't know how you could render this in film. And by that, I'm saying this book does what only books can do, very, very well. It's well-crafted and relentless in a way that doesn't lend itself to punchy quotes, but it made a huge impression on me. Fathers and Sons by Ivan TurgenevI just finished this one and I need more time to think about it. I read it primarily because another writer I greatly admire is giving a lecture on it, so I wanted to be adequately armed for the lecture. A lot of the book is concerned with what happens when you don't believe anything -- if it's even possible not to believe anything. For me, Russian novels manage to be profoundly psychological and spiritual and I can't ingest them quickly. But in it, I found this gem of a line. "Death's an old joke, but it comes fresh to every one."Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt VonnegutI have read embarrassingly little Vonnegut. I read Harrison Bergeron in school -- and it's prescience has terrified me ever since. Vonnegut is amazing. And I'm going to work my way through many more of his books. This was my start. Here's a taste.Like so many Americans, she was trying to construct a life that made sense from things she found in gift shops.And so it goes…Inventing the Individual: the Origins of Western Liberalism By Larry SiedentopThe biggest problem with not reading and not being familiar with history is that you can be easily fooled into thinking that the way things are now is the way that they have always been. Even highly educated and intelligent people can fall into this trap and become provincial in time. The book is a study of how the individual became the unit of social organization in the West. It's fascinating. For in the eyes of Islamic fundamentalists, and indeed in the eyes of not a few in the West, liberalism has come to stand for ‘non-belief’ – for indifference and permissiveness, if not for decadence. Why is that? And is the charge justified? This book is an attempt to find out. Its argument rests on two assumptions. The first is that if we are to understand the relationship between beliefs and social institutions – that is, to understand ourselves – then we have to take a very long view. Deep moral changes, changes in belief, can take centuries to begin to modify social institutions. It is folly to expect popular habits and attitudes to change overnight. The second assumption is that beliefs are nonetheless of primary importance, an assumption once far more widely held than it is today. In the nineteenth century there was a prolonged contest between ‘idealist’ and ‘materialist’ views of historical change, with the latter holding that social order rests not so much on shared beliefs but on technology, economic interdependence and an advanced social division of labour. Even the declining appeal of Marxism in the later twentieth century did not discredit that view. Rather, in a strange afterlife, Marxism infiltrated liberal thinking, creating a further temptation to downgrade the role of beliefs. That temptation became all the greater because of the unprecedented prosperity enjoyed by the West after the Second World War. We have come to worship at the shrine of economic growth.The Peloponnesian War by Robert Kagan and Thucydides Commentary Okay, every time I say Peloponnesian War - I've got this stupid line in my head. "Pelop's Ponesian War" Like a guy name Pelops decided to put on a war for entertainment. No idea why this is the case. But this seems to happen with Greek words. I have a joke about Sophocles as well. Big Guido -- "Mikey, why you always writing like that? You should be out playing ball."Micheal -- "I've got a paper due on Sophocles."Big Guido -- "Sophocles? How about you try Sophocles" (Grabs crotch)I've read Thucydides before. Hard, but worth it. Kagan wrote a four-volume masterwork on the history of the War for scholars then distilled it down into this book. I read these, partially because Thucydides is great. And partially as research for a project for something I can't really talk about while it's in the works. The Peloponnesian War was effectively the first “World War” Athenians v Spartans, all the other Greek city states picked a team. It’s got Vietnam baked in (the disastrous Athenian campaign in Syracuse), earthquakes, plagues and some of the defining speeches of Western Culture. Piranesi by Suzzanna ClarkeI liked it. It's gorgeously written, but it didn't have the impact on me that Dr. Strange and Mr. Norell did. I loved that book. Which is a kind of alternate history presupposing disused magic existed in the Napoleonic era. This is is my favorite part“Can a magician kill a man by magic?” Lord Wellington asked Strange.Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. “I suppose a magician might,” he admitted, “but a gentleman never could.” The Toymakers by Robert DinsdaleI've only read half of this book. It's a Christmas book about a magical toystore in the Heart of London before WWI. In the spring, I started reading it on the recommendation of a friend and I decided to save it for the week of Christmas. It's marvelous magical realism. If you want a Christmas book -- this is the one. Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City by K.J. ParkerThis is the blurb for the book: "A siege is approaching, and the city has little time to prepare. The people have no food and no weapons, and the enemy has sworn to slaughter them all.To save the city will take a miracle, but what it has is Orhan. A colonel of engineers, Orhan has far more experience with bridge-building than battles, is a cheat and a liar, and has a serious problem with authority. He is, in other words, perfect for the job."What nothing on the outside of the book will tell you is that this is a book about the tensions of civilization, racism, oppression and ideology. Orhan is part of a downtrodden minority in the book. Yet it falls to him to save the city and the empire -- the same empire that crushes everybody who's not the empire beneath it's cruel sandaled heel. There's a lot in this book.Orhan is also a magnificent narrator. And this book is funny, insightful, profound, here's a few clips. “A wise man once said, the difference between luck and a wheelbarrow is, luck doesn’t work if you push it.” “Beautiful people, though, I struggle with. Unless you keep your eyes shut or look the other way, you can’t help but have the awful fact ground into you, like the wheel of a heavy wagon running over your neck, that here is someone divided from you by a vast, unbridgeable gap, and they’ve done absolutely nothing to deserve it. Ogus’s wife – her name was Sichelgaita – was that level of beauty. I won’t even try to describe her, because they don’t make words that could take the strain. You felt ashamed to look at her.” “The way I see it, the truth is just barren moorland, all useless bog and heather. It’s only when you break it up and turn it over with the ploughshare of the Good Lie that you can screw a livelihood out of it. Isn’t that what humans do? They take a dead landscape and reshape it into what they need, and want, and can use. I’ve never hesitated to adapt the world to suit me, when I can get away with it.” “That’s how the world changes. It’s either so quick that we never know what hit us, or so gradual that we don’t notice. It’s only later, when books are written and scholars decide what mattered and what didn’t, that red lines are drawn – before this point, the world was this way, after this point, everything was different. You could be there and not have a clue. You could be asleep, or looking the other way, having a quiet s**t or screwing in an alley, and an unseen pen draws a line. Here the Empire ended. Here the Dark Ages began.” A lot of Conn IgguldenConn Iggulden is one of the authors of the Dangerous Book for Boys. But he also writes historical fiction. And, for my money, he makes Bernard Cornwall look like a chump. And Cornwall is excellent. This year I read the Emperor Series about Julius Ceasar. Last year I read his Genghis Khan series. Both excellent. Both in a page-turning, thrilling, gore and violence, arrrgh adventure! Way and as writing. Especially the first two books of the Ceasar series. Some very powerful human moments. And he write women very well. He's tremendously talented. And very diligent with this history. I also read The Falcon of Sparta which is his retelling to Xenophon's Anabasis. The story is one of the greatest adventure stories of all time. Xenophon goes with a 10,000 Hoplite Mercenaries to fight for Cyrus the Younger who attempted to steal the Throne of Persia, but gets killed and his army is defeated.All except the 10,000 greek mercenaries. See they were on the other side of the hill from Cyrus's army, so they are busy routing the rest of the Persian army. And when they find out Cyrus is dead, they have a huge problem. It's the story about how they fought their way back home to Greece. Or Coney Island. Because, not only is this a true story, but it's also the inspiration and plot of Walter Hill's classic 1977 film The Warriors. If you need some historical fiction, pick up some Iggulden. He's a master. And it's seriously fun to say his last name. Boswell's Life of JohnsonI'm reading this bit by bit. My sense is the biography has lasted better than anything Johnson wrote when he was alive. Which is a bit crazy because, except for his Biography of Johnson, it seems that Boswell might have been an annoying drunken hanger-on of a jackass who never did anything else right in his life. Samuel Johnson came from crushing poverty and hardship -- and pretty much single-handedly compiled the first Dictionary of the English Language. In the preface of which he wrote: It is the fate of those who toil at the lower employments of life, to be rather driven by the fear of evil, than attracted by the prospect of good; to be exposed to censure, without hope of praise; to be disgraced by miscarriage, or punished for neglect, where success would have been without applause, and diligence without reward.Among these unhappy mortals is the writer of dictionaries; whom mankind have considered, not as the pupil, but the slave of science, the pioneer of literature, doomed only to remove rubbish and clear obstructions from the paths of Learning and Genius, who press forward to conquest and glory, without bestowing a smile on the humble drudge that facilitates their progress. Every other authour may aspire to praise; the lexicographer can only hope to escape reproach and even this negative recompense has been yet granted to very few.He was also a prodigiously fast writer and reader. Boswell says this of him. 'Johnson knew more books than any man alive.' He had a peculiar facility in seizing at once what was valuable in any book, without submitting to the labour of perusing it from beginning to end. He had, from the irritability of his constitution, at all times, an impatience and hurry when he either read or wrote.Which makes me feel better about the way I sometimes raid nonfiction books rather than read them. Or maybe the way I render them, like one boils scraps of meat to render the useful fats out of them. I'm not going to take the time to find the precise metaphor. Whatever it is, it isn't pretty -- it's messy and nothing I'd want my children to watch. I just try to rip the guts right out of the book. And that fact that Johnson did it too makes me feel a little better. The Border by Don WinslowGood, but honestly, not his best. I would suggest The Power of the Dog -- the first book in the trilogy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but reading The Power of the Dog and The Cartel was an experience like I've never had before. Winslow knows the sordid ins and outs of the Drug War like few others and he gets so much out of it as an author. I am personally against the prohibition of drugs on moral grounds. In addition to being electrifying thrillers, these books help make the human cost of our price supports for drugs real. If cocaine wasn't expensive in the U.S. people wouldn't kill themselves for it in Juarez and Colombia. Pablo Escobar blew up an airliner and bombed the Colombian Supreme Court. That's on him. But it's also on us. But don't let my speechifying put you off. The books are great thrillers. If you liked Narcos, you'll love these. The Three Body Problem, by Liu CixinHere's the Amazon blurb: Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion. The result is a science fiction masterpiece of enormous scope and vision.This is a triple winner of a great book. 1) It's great hard sci-fi. 2) It's is great psychological fiction. Not only is the science good, but the insights into people and society are great as well. 3) It's Chinese science fiction, so you get a glimpse into another culture. Having been to a few conventions and having met a number of sci fi and fantasy authors, it is a little dismal how conventional many of them are. There is a groupthink in what they call "The Field" of writing speculative fiction. And, of course, a lot of internal strife. Who's the good guys, who's the bad guys? I don't pretend to know, but you can get a lot of sameness in fiction when they have the same worldview and they've spend a lot of the same time in the same rooms talking about the same things in the same way. This book wasn't like that at all for me. It was brilliant and refreshing.Plus Others, but...That's for this post. Throw in some scattered reading in the Bible, Shakespeare, Economics and Poetry and it's a year well-spent. Of course, I wish I had a chance to read more, but, you know there was real life to be lived as well. If anybody has a suggestion of something I should read next year, put it in the comments. I have a bit of an addiction with buying books, so please enable me. Get full access to How It's Written by Patrick E. McLean at patrickemclean.substack.com/subscribe

Jackie Jura Creator of the Website Orwell Today COVID: MASK OF THE BEAST “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to wear a mask on their face below their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mask.” ~ adaptation from Book of Revelation “Beware the ides of March” wrote Shakespeare four hundred years ago — which in Roman times meant around March 15th which was the day Julius Ceasar was assassinated two thousand years ago. “Beware the ides of March” is a common expression nowadays and many people do tend to avoid putting themselves in risky situations on that day, ie postpone surgery, don’t fly etc. And often it is true that disasterous events happen during the ides of March — and this year, 2020, it was the official arrival of the invasion of the fake COVID pandemic war on America. The president of the USA banned Europeans from entering the country and the prime minister of Canada told travellers to come home before the borders closed. I was in Mexico where I’d been for two and a half months and planning to stay until early April when the COVID bomb was dropped. People were streaming out of hotels — luggage was piled up waiting to be loaded into taxis and vans — it was mass exodus and I was part of it. On March 14th I phoned my airline and after being on hold for a couple of hours got my ticket changed to two days hence — March 16th. I wasn’t leaving Mexico because of fear of ‘catching COVID’. I’d already pegged the so-called pandemic as another Orwellian staged event which had been playing out since January ie everyone making jokes about being locked up for sneezing or coughing as was happening in countries around the world with mandatory self-isolation rules. I even adapted the WHO FLU SARS POEM I’d written in 2003 for that wanna-be pandemic. I wanted to get home before Canada started placing restrictions on return-travel, ie “get a vaccine or you don’t get back into the country”. I knew — from researching Orwellian conspiracy theories all these years — that a vaccine injecting disease and a tracking device was the ultimate goal of the powers-that-be behind the COVID-19 plan/scam/panic-demic. Vaccines containing a microchip had been the talk of the world for years ever since Microsoft’s Bill Gates started bragging about using a pandemic — “microbes, not missiles” — to force a vaccine — “the 666 Mark of the Beast” — into the body of every human being on the planet. To add insult to injury — and because they ‘get off’ on rubbing our noses in their evil defecation — the Microsoft patent application for their artificial intelligence device is “666”, ie WO 2020/O6/O6/06 AI”. The biggest name in opposition to Gates — and to Gates’ partner in crime, WHO — is Robert F Kennedy Jr, son of Bobby and nephew of JFK — who has put his life on the line to speak out against and warn the world about the global conspiracy of forced vaccination under the pretense of a global pandemic — COVID-19.

A Jesus-type of visionary will always be misunderstood and for good reasons. They are unlike anyone we have seen. They take on massive "impossible" projects. In our world, we can equate this kind of visionary to an Alexandar The Great, a Julius Ceasar, a Napoleon, a Shaka Zulu, an Abraham Lincoln, or even to some extent, a John F Kennedy or a Martin Luther King Jnr. One can even say an Elon Musk or a Steve Jobs exemplifies this kind of visionary. It is easy to see how many of these people were misunderstood, in fact, many of them were killed. Let's see what to do with this kind of visionary.

When you think of the term soothsayer you likely imagine a crusty old bearded guy warning Julius Ceasar to beware the Ides of March.  Either that or you wonder to yourself what the Hell a Soothsayer is.  Whether you want to call them a fortune teller, a seer, a psychic, these guys are known for foretelling future events.  This week we take a look at the Grand Daddy of them all, Nostradamus.  Nostradamus is known for predicting many future events using vague and poetic language.  Some of these prophesies are hoaxes, spread around the internet, others could be misinterpretations.  Maybe some are legit.  Look, man.  I don’t claim to know the answers to the future, that’s above my pay grade.  Anyway, this episode, Mateo goes over a bunch of poems that point to the future apocalypse and Mike tries to convince him that Nostradamus was just writing biblical fan fiction.

Opposing his own view in "Go and Catch a Falling Star," Donne explains to us how to be braver than one of the nine worithes (Hector, Alexander the Great, Julius Ceasar, Joshua, David, Judas Maccabeus, King Arthur, Charlemagne, Godfrey of Boullion.)To be greater then these men, in one area at least, we must simply love a woman for her inner virtues as opposed to her outer virtues. Oh and it's even better to not tell anyone about it!

The boys talk about ancient Rome orgies and power struggles. They talk about guys like Julius Ceasar, Marc Anthony, and Titus PullOut. They talk about how they would choose to be executed by a king and wonder where Jesus died and who killed him.

After Brandon and Kenny give a heartfelt goodbye to longtime Ronnie Greg Eckberg and discuss their methods of dealing with encounters with homeless people, they dive into describing Walken's role in the TNT three-hour two-part miniseries "Julius Caesar". Despite dreading the miniseries, it was actually well-made and somewhat educational, although Kenny found more value in reading a biography of Julius Caesar meant for children that he found on the Internet. Walken's character was Kato, a real historical figure and politician who is portrayed as a voice of reason in the Senate of Ancient Rome. Although it was a fun departure from the usual "eccentric bad guy" fare, there was not much to address besides his inability to shed his New York accent. Kenny and Brandon eventually divert down a rabbit hole of tangential discussions about Elizabeth Taylor's marriages, acting in plays, they struggle to remember the name of famed mobster Al Capone, and they again revisit the usefulness, if any, of their extensive knowledge about Christopher Walken.

What parellels, if any, can we draw between the recent Central American migrant caravan and Julius Ceasar's dealings with the Helvetii?

Complete NCERT English Syllabus for class 10

William Shakespeare is widely considered to be one of the greatest playwrights of all time. Indeed, his works include King Lear, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Ceasar and Richard III. Shakespeare's works form the spine of English Literature syllabi across the world and have been translated into numerous languages. In this episode, Shakespeare's works are considered in their historical context, including links to King James I, the Stuart-era and the focus on witches which was prevalent in the early 17th century. In this episode, Co-Editor Elliott (@thelibrarian6) interviews our special guest Ben Davies, who is an English Teacher and an enthusiast of all things William Shakespeare.

Click on the link below to view the top skill someone should have when trying to make money online! http://bit.ly/2D2WflG Hey, today I want to talk about how to turn negative into positive to get what you want. One of the things I've always admired is when people turn a negative into a positive. It's when someone looks at the glass as being half full and not half-empty. They look at the positive of things. Our actions may be impeded, but there can be no impeding our intentions or dispositions. Because we can accommodate and adapt. The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action, what stands in the way becomes the way. This was a poem from Marcus Araleus who was a Roman Empire after Julius Ceasar. It's very similar to turning a problem into a money making opportunity, which is one of my favorite sayings. I used to live in Cambodia and one of the things I noticed is there was no ATM machines. Did you you

I want to make a fun episode that isn't really talked about amongst the people we learn productivity and motivational inspiration. Now these tips you can learn from people who have questionable morals are insightful and interesting. So even though you don't necessarily want to ‘learn' from an evil dictator, doesn't mean it isn't worth hearing about. To be fair, a lot of the successful people we look up to such as Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos for their achievements but let's not overlook that they too have questionable morals when it comes to business. Now leaders can be manipulative and like to take advantage of other people's minds when they are weak, remove them from their friends, and give speeches that empower them with what they want to hear. There's 6 things that evil dictators do in certain situations.   1. Bring only the difficult problems to people when their willpower is at their weakest.   As evident when you get tired, your mind is in a different place and you might not make the best decision available. A successful dictator knows when to use this.   The late Fidel Castro would purposely hold his meetings at 4am with people who had to get out of bed so they would be tired. Joseph Stalin of Russia also used this tactic during WWII.   Now the idea is to work with people when they are tired or not at 100% of their best. Fatigue is real and why we value resting as much as working hard. It's easily exploitable especially if you have meetings that really early or late so you can work at your best.    2. Have a 5 year plan The 5 year plan was created by Stalin who used this to keep track of his economical policies and readiness of future problems. It was widely used throughout Russia in politics and was adopted in other Asian countries. While your 5 year plan will be a lot smaller than a dictator's the actual idea of having one is great. This is similar to asking yourself to where do you see yourself in 5 years? It's a question that everyone should wonder. So here's some questions to ask yourself:   What will your typical day look like? What would your house be? What would you be looking forward to? Who would be your friends? Write your answers down of where you see it being in the next 5 years. Planning ahead of 5 years is plants a strong end goal that you can be working towards right now. It'll give yourself meaning if you don't have so already. 3. Remove threats of your power Dictators have to hold their power in order to do their job, and there's tons of problems that arise that can take that away. This could even mean removing their friends and families who probably want their power. What dictators do is to make an outer circle want that power while having an inner circle praising them constantly. Fidel Castro was well known for this as he purposely left Che Guevara stranded after the revolution of Cuba because he didn't want him to take his power. Now what can we learn from this? Is being knowledgeable about your competition wether its for your business or a position that you want to be in. Not saying you should do bad things to people, but rather acknowledge the threats that preventing your dream from happening.   4. Have a ‘Cult of Personality'   Now a cult of personality is a tactic that dictators use which is to present themselves as the best person they can be. To an extent, they show themselves as gods. This is through propaganda and being widely known everywhere. We see it with Kim Jon-il of North Korea. As point out in many book about his doctrines with his people, they actually believe that he can control the weather with his clothes. Nicolae Ceaușescu, a dictator of Romania would call himself the “The Genius of the Carpathians” and Benito Mussolini of Italy would always look taller than he actually is in his photo to look more powerful.   Now what can you learn from this? Being a cult of personality isn't always a bad thing. You can be likeable, charismatic, and trusting without manipulating or telling lies. It's about showing yourself in the best light, but no need to try to be something that you aren't.   5. Make powerful and eccentric speeches Now Adolf Hitler was one of the worst people to live yet there's a lot to learn from him. One was his ability to make the most influential speeches of all time. He broke the mold of what people expected from speeches at the time. They looked at speeches as complexed and highly intellectual. what Hitler did was to make them exciting with emotions and stories. He was able to talk about the problems on a personal level and made him like able. While the content was horrible, his delivery was astounding. He used ways to plant ideas into people's minds. He obsessed over the speeches to make them perfect. What you can learn from this is remember the audience when you're talking to. Why are they listening? What should they get out of it? How can you keep their attention? These are the questions that made hitler and other well known speakers so great.   6. Learning from experiences is better than learning from books   Practice makes perfect is a strong mantra all the dictators learned to love. Julius Ceasar fought on the frontline with his soldiers so he had first hand experience of the situation. He even lived with them as they go about their days and believed in the experience is the greatest teacher. The infamous Napoleon Bonaparte did the same as he worked him self up in the french army. Mao also with his peasants that he wanted to control. You can learn from this is by knowing how things work by doing it yourself. They practiced what they wanted to rule. As we may have learned in our first jobs that gained more knowledge than school. Likewise this is why internships are so important. When you have experience, you have qualifications. Now you have the power to become a dictator, but you can be something more and be remembered for a having a better impact. So be courageous without the negativity.

I irony is not lost on me that Republicans, men, and women who love to rattle sabers, bang war drums and send our youth off the fight in far off lands are now running scared in the face of a little gunfire. It turns out, despite talking tough politicians are really just scared suits. You'll forgive me for being somewhat unsympathetic. I just can't help feeling indifferent to their plight. Not only do they assume some risk when entering Congress but D.C. makes it nearly impossible for them to defend themselves because of their strict gun laws. Now you've got progressives turning violent. Never mind all the "mean spirited talk" coming from Donald Trump and the Trumpists. Progressives have gone over the top holding renditions of Julius Ceasar in Central Park where Donald Trump (playing Julius) is assassinated. Imagine the Tea Party doing the same thing with Obama getting the knife. We're living in a powder keg. ***Why is Rent so high in San Francisco? Well, it ain't because the free market failed.

The Racket Media goes after President Trump in the aftermath of the Rep. Steve Scalise shooting. We marvel at the Media's twisted response to the barbarity of James Hodgkinson -- a registered Democrat, a supporter of Bernie Sanders, and a wannabe assassin of House Republicans. Why is MSNBC's Joy Reid choosing this moment to cast aspersions upon Scalise's political background? Meanwhile, Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post describes his lack of concern about the lack of evidence on Russian collusion, and Matt Drudge blasts the useless Republican Establishment. Also, activists disrupt the ongoing anti-Trump rendering of Julius Ceasar in New York City's "Shakespeare In the Park." Plus, our vignettes on Fatherhood in America.

Is the Seder Olam correct when they state a Shemitah year? How does the year of Nero as emperor determine when the Sabbatical years are? What about Julius Ceasar and the year he says was a Sabbatical year? Does the Daniel Timeline prove when the next Jubilee years is? Is 2017 the next Jubilee year based on the Balfour Declaration and the 1967 war in Israel? What about the 70 years from the creation of Israel in 1947? Is 2017 a Jubilee year? 2 Kings 19:29 well prove these things true or false. Why is there a 76-year difference between the years I am saying it is and those of the Jewish chronology? The Jewish chronology is based on the Seder Olam which at fault.

I mer än 50 år har Jan Troell varit verksam i den svenska filmvärlden. En regissör som till en början kan framstå som blyg och försiktig, men som är älskad och beundrad av kollegor och medarbetare. Återkommande medarbetare i hans filmarbete är också dottern Yohanna och frun Agneta Ulfsäter Troell. Kinos Saman Bakhtiari bestämde sig för att göra ett hemma hos-reportage hos Troells, apropå hans nya film Dom över död man, som handlar om Torgny Segerstedt, huvudredaktör för Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning, och en övertygad nazistmotståndare både före och under andra världskriget. Men vad minns Jan Troell, född 1931, själv från den tiden. I de italienska filmbröderna Tavianis nya film Caesar måste dö flyttar Shakespeares pjäs om mordet på Julius Caesar in på ett fängelse i Rom. I filmen får vi följa en teaterregissör som sätter upp pjäsen med fångar i rollerna. Men filmen är också inspelad på ett fängelse - och skådespelarna som spelar fångar är fångar i verkligheten. Det berättar Vittorio Taviani för Karin Svensson som tar oss med till Julius Ceasar - fängelseversionen. Whit Stillmans nya film Damsels in distress är en lite bisarr collegefilm om fyra unga kvinnor som försöker bota studiekamraternas depressioner med hjälp av donuts, väldoftande tvålar och dansterapi.Filmen har beskrivits ungefär som en korsning mellan Dum och Dummare och Jane Austen-romantik. Damsels in distress är också Whit Stillmans första film sedan 1998 - ett lite märkligt långt uppehåll eftersom han var riktigt stor på nittiotalet med filmer som Metropolitan och The Last Days of Disco. Nina Asarnoj ringde upp Stillman i New York för att fråga vad han egentligen sysslat med de senaste femton åren. Och han svarade i en lånad lyxlägenhet på Park Avenue där han för tillfället var kattvakt åt en rik kompis. I vår programpunkt Om igen berättar våra lyssnare om vilken film de har sett flest gånger. Den här gången är det en lite annorlunda historia, för skälet till att Kinolyssnaren Jonas Lindholm sett Arnold Schwarzenegger-rullen Commando så många gånger är att han försökte slå ett världsrekord. Anders Bennysson har pratat med honom. Veckans Bäst just nu-lista kommer från Kinos producent Thella Johnson.

Self sacrifice may be noble, but so is knowing what you are getting out of the deal. This week, we review the horror flick Absentia, which is available on Netflix. It's a pretty damn grim movie, so the weak of heart should beware.   Also, we pimp several other podcasts, such as noted horror podcast The Drabblecast and Nightmare Magazine. Both of which can be found on iTunes and so on.   After that, Al and Tony drop into the distant past and talk about historical arson. We learn why you never kill one of Ghengis Khan's messengers, and what Julius Ceasar used to conquer the known world and finish off the waning republic.   Check out the podcast that has been described as "Oh, that one" and it here.
