Podcasts about Kaza

Hiç şüphesiz kişinin kaza namazlarıyla meşgul olması, nafile namazlarla meşgul olmasından evladır. Ancak farz namazların evvelinde ve sonunda kılınan sünnetler velev ki sünnet-i gayr-i müekked olsun bundan istisna edilmiştir. Yani kişinin bu sünnetleri terk edip yerine kaza namazı kılması evla değildir. Hatta kuşluk ve tesbîh namazları gibi hakkında eserler varit olan nafile namazlar da bu kabildendir. Zira bu emsal namazlar farz namazları ikmal eder. Ve bunlar belli bir vakitle mukayyet olduklarından dolayı vaktinin kaçırılması durumunda telafisi mümkün değildir. Kaza namazlarının ise muayyen vakitleri olmadığından kerahet vakitlerinin dışında her zaman kılınmaları mümkündür. Her iki namazın bir niyetle kılınması da caiz değildir. Kaza namazını kazaya niyetle, nafile namazı da nafileye niyetle kılınmalıdır. Namazları kazaya bırakmak bir günâhtır. Bu günâhtan mümkün mertebe kurtulmak için sünnetleri feda etmek münasip olamaz. Böyle bir günâhı işleyen kimsenin fazla ibadette bulunarak affı İlâhîye sığınıp, hakkında Peygamber Efendimiz (s.a.v.)'in şefaatine nail olmaya vesile olacak bir kısım mübarek sünnetleri, nafileleri terk etmesi nasıl muvafık olabilir? Hem bir kısım vakit namazlarını kazaya bırakmak, hem de diğer bir kısım vakit namazlarını tamamlayıcı olan sünnetlerden tecrit etmek, iki kat kusur olmaz mı? Bunun hilafına olan bazı nakiller muteber değildir, fetva verilen kavle muhaliftir. Hem sünnetleri, hem de kaza namazlarını kılmaya müsait vakit bulamadıklarını iddia edenler bulunursa, bunlar insaflı bir iddiada bulunmuş sayılamazlar. Beyhude yere en kıymetli vakitlerini zayi eden insanlar, böyle bir iddiaya ne yüzle cüret edebilirler?(Sualli Cevaplı İslam Fıkhı, c.3, s.49-50)

To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 2 'Groves of Orpheus' member on Patreon, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Veronica French. Veronica has an MA in Religious Studies from the University of Erfurt, Germany. She specializes in the study of modern shamanism, anthropology of religion and gender studies. Her master's thesis explored how modern shamans living in Germany define a “shaman way” and their turning point or crisis, which informs their “shamanic journey.” Her undergraduate work was in medical anthropology with a focus on shamanic techniques and Chinese 5 Element, in which she explored the scholar/practitioner position. She presented previously at the 8th Biannual Conference of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE) with the paper “Performative Strategies of Creative Esotericism in 19th Century Jewish Communities” (Cork, Ireland, 2022); XXXI International Summer School on Religion Women and Religions with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Empowerment and Green Religion: Contemporary Shamanic Practice in Germany” (San Gimignano, Italy, 2024); and the International Theosophical History Conference 2024 with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Theosophy and Ecological Spirituality: Connecting Nature Spiritualities” (Ascona, Switzerland, 2024). Veronica also presented at three seminars at the University of Erfurt: “Initial Shamanic Interviews” University of Erfurt, Master's Thesis Colloquium (2023); “Green Religion and Indigeneity in Popular Media,”University of Erfurt, Green Religion? Answers to Climate Change from the Perspective of Religious Studies (2023); and “Ethnographic Work of Shamanic Practice in Eastern Germany,” University of Erfurt, Master's Writing Seminar (2023).In this discussion, Veronica shares her background and inspiration for her research into modern shamanism. We talk a bit about the terms shamanism and animism, as these are somewhat contested within academia, and Veronica shares how she is using these terms in her work. She explains what questions she was asking at the outset of her project, and also the surprising additions that arose once she started interviewing her participants. Veronica also notes the interesting data that she gathered regarding topics such as gender, identity, “lived religion,” and ecology. As Veronica has her own experience within the concept known as a the holistic milieu (referring to a broad and diverse spiritual landscape that encompasses various New Age and alternative spiritual practices; often contrasted with traditional religious institutions, as it focuses on personal spirituality, self-development, and holistic well-being rather than formal doctrines or organized worship), she found she was able to relate well to the experiences of her participants, and this aspect has led her to consider continuing her research using the method known as autoethnography. This is a qualitative research method that combines autobiographical storytelling with ethnographic analysis. It allows researchers to use their personal experiences to explore and critique cultural beliefs, practices, and social phenomena. Veronica talks about other scholars in the field who have been using this method, and how it is becoming more accepted within academia. If anyone has any questions or comments for Veronica, please post them here or contact me via email and I can pass these on to her. She welcomes further feedback and discussion! Veronica was also very kind to share some references for futher reading; please see this below. PROGRAM NOTESReferences:Olivia Cejan: "Arts and Crafts Divine" is her dissertation utilizing autoethnography and pedagogy to write about a secret society group. Talk at Copenhagen Conference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g2qvGcy5pY&t=524sCorrine Sombrun: -Her institute: https://trancescience.org/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oDs10hUy6ETrailer to her movie; English subtitlesTed Talk:English subtitleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0kIECFi0Uhttps://amara.org/videos/Tcvokh51yb2Y/en/1543652/?tab=revisionsAnother interview with English (Google)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syy4MTHAfF4 Alice Ahern: Phd Cork Ireland, studying shamanism and pop culture:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCCeV7MLtFcYoutube talk:  "The Reclamation of Feminine Wisdom in the Irish Neo-Shamanic Milieu" Traditional Religions view on Nature Religions:https://fore.yale.edu/Event-Listings/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Conference-Series/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Archivehttps://fore.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/annual_review_environment.pdfBibliography :Eliade, Mircea.

Eigentlich würde es unserer Welt insgesamt guttun: Grenzen nicht so ernst nehmen. Gemeinsam daran arbeiten, diese Welt zu etwas Besserem zu machen. Auch im Arten- und Naturschutz sind länderübergreifende Kooperationen ein großes Thema, das viele Chancen birgt. Denn unsere Natur kennt keine politischen Grenzen und sollte damit auch nichts zu tun haben. Einige Nationalparks zeigen, wie grenzüberschreitender Naturschutz funktionieren kann: Zum Beispiel der Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald in Deutschland und der Nationalpark Šumava in Tschechien, die in jahrelanger Zusammenarbeit nicht nur auf dem Papier, sondern auch in der Natur eng zusammengewachsen sind. Oder die Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in Afrika, wo über viele Ländergrenzen hinweg eines der größten Naturschutzgebiete der Welt entstanden ist. Der Weg dorthin war nicht einfach – denn auf politischer und zwischenmenschlicher Ebene mussten zunächst einige Hürden überwunden werden. Funktionierende grenzübergreifende Schutzgebiete bergen dann aber große Vorteile und Chancen für viele Tierarten. Welche Tiere das sind? Das schauen wir uns an und danken unserem Partner: dem Förderverein Nationalpark Boddenlandschaft e.V..

Słowo prokurator kojarzy się z Poncjuszem Piłatem, który sądził Jezusa. Jest to słowo pochodzenia łacińskiego. Dziś w języku polskim prokurator to ktoś kto oskarża, ale co znaczyło to słowo w czasach biblijnych? Czy Piłat był prokuratorem? Jaka była jego funkcja i co o nim mówią źródła pozabiblijne?Nowy Testament został spisany po grecku, a słowo prokurator jest łacińskim wyrażeniem. Można je znaleźć w łacińskim przekładzie, w Wulgacie. W Mateusza 20:8 czytamy: “dicit dominus vineae procuratori suo”. Po polsku w tym miejscu czytamy: “mówi pan winnicy do rządcy swego”. Jasno z tego wynika, że prokurator był zarządcą. Prokurator Judei był więc zarządcą Judei.W oryginale greckim występuje jednak słowo “hēgemōn”. Tak określono Piłata, Feliksa i Festusa. Np. w Mateusza 27:2 czytamy: “Związali go więc, odprowadzili i przekazali namiestnikowi Piłatowi”. Greckie słowo “hegemon” zostało przetłumaczone jako namiestnik. Podobnie w Dziejach 23:24 czytamy: “Kazał też trzymać w pogotowiu zwierzęta juczne, aby wsadzić na nie Pawła i odstawić go cało do namiestnika Feliksa”.Tak więc Piłat, Feliks i Festus byli po grecku hegemonami, a po polsku namiestnikami. Czy jednak po łacinie byli prokuratorami? Rzymscy namiestnicy rządzili w Judei mniej więcej w latach od 6 do 136. Piłat był 5 namiestnikiem, Feliks 11, a Festus 12. Wszyscy oni byli namiestnikami, ale czy byli także prokuratorami? Przez długi czas tak myślano, bo wiemy, że Feliks i Festus byli prokuratorami, a ponieważ Piłat rządził w Judei przed nimi, więc także jego nazywano prokuratorem.W 1961 roku w nadmorskiej Cezarei odkryto tzw. kamień Piłata. Ten rzymski namiestnik zbudował lub odbudował coś w tym portowym mieście. Ta informacja nie jest jasna, ale wyraźnie da się odczytać jego tytuł. Piłat nie był prokuratorem ale prefektem. Judeą rządziło 7 prefektów do 41 roku. Wtedy na 4 lata Judeą rządził król Herod Agrypa I. Gdy on zmarł w 44 roku Rzymianie ponownie przysłali namiestników, których od tego momentu nazywali prokuratorami.Prokuratorzy rządzili w Judei do wybuchu powstania żydowskiego w 66 roku. Potem namiestnicy na te tereny byli nazywani legatami. Tak więc Piłat był prefektem, a nie prokuratorem. Ten błędny tytuł można znaleźć u Józefa Flawiusza oraz Tacyta. Flawiusz żył w okresie, kiedy rzymscy namiestnicy nazywani byli prokuratorami, a więc pisząc o wcześniejszym Piłacie także określił go tym terminem. Również Tacyt używa tego terminu pisząc o Piłacie. Czy popełnili błąd?Łacińskie słowo procurator oznaczało kogoś kto reprezentował sprawy kogoś innego. W tym znaczeniu prokurator Judei reprezentował interesy cesarza na tym terenie. Szczególnie interesy finansowe. Cesarzy rzymskich interesował pokój w prowincjach aby mogły płacić podatki. Właśnie takie było zadanie namiestników, którzy w pewnym okresie nosili tytuł prokuratora. Chociaż więc Piłat nie miał tytułu prokuratora, ale prefekta, to jednak był prokuratorem w tym znaczeniu, że reprezentował cesarza.Przypominając kontekst historyczny - w Judei rządził Herod Wielki, a po jego śmierci krótko jego syn. Potem władzę w tym regionie sprawowali prefekci. Piłat był piątym z siedmiu namiestników o tym tytule. W okresie 41-44 władzę w Judei dostał Herod Agryppa I. Po nim wrócili rzymscy namiestnicy mający już tytuł prokuratora. W latach 66-70 Żydzi się zbuntowali. Od tego okresu Rzymianie nazywali swoich namiestników Judei legatami.W oryginale greckim Nowego Testamentu Piłata, Feliksa i Festusa określa się słowem hegemon. To słowo weszło do wielu języków europejskich, między innymi do języka polskiego. Oznacza kogoś sprawującego władzę najwyższą. Kimś takim byli rzymscy namiestnicy dla Żydów w Judei. Także słowo łacińskie prokurator weszło do języka polskiego. Wprawdzie łacińskie znaczenie wiązało się z zarządzaniem oraz podatkami u nas to słowo weszło jako określenie sądowe. Dlaczego tak się stało?Może warto przypomnieć, że wszyscy trzej namiestnicy wymienieni w Biblii do 1961 roku byli nazywani prokuratorami. Biblia wszystkich ich trzech wiąże ze sprawami sądowymi. Piłat sądził Jezusa, a Feliks i Festus przesłuchiwali apostoła Pawła. Nic więc dziwnego, że dla czytających Nowy Testament ci trzej kojarzyli się bardziej z sądem niż z podatkami. Chyba właśnie z tego powodu prokurator w języku polskim to termin sądowy.Piłat w pewnym sensie wyznaczył sposób sprawowania władzy przez kolejnych namiestników. Ten piąty prefekt Judei postanowił wejść do Jerozolimy z rzymskimi symbolami. Chodziło o orły, odznakę legionów rzymskich oraz o podobiznę cesarza. Żydzi się zbuntowali. Piłat nakazał zatrzymać tę rebelię. Ostatecznie jednak musiał ustąpić, bo cezar chciał spokoju i podatków. Kolejni prefekci i prokuratorzy rządzili, ale starali się nie denerwować Żydów.Piłat, a w późniejszym okresie także Feliks i Festus ustępowali Żydom. Widać to wyraźnie w procesach Jezusa i Pawła. W Ewangelii Jana 19:6 czytamy: “Rzekł do nich Piłat: Weźcie go wy i ukrzyżujcie, ja bowiem winy w nim nie znajduję”. Wynika z tego, że sami mogli wykonać wyrok. Było jednak dla nich wygodniej, by zrobili to Rzymianie i Piłat ugiął się. W jego ślady poszli kolejni rzymscy namiestnicy.W Dziejach Apostolskich 24:27 czytamy: “pragnąc okazać Żydom przychylność, Feliks pozostawił Pawła w więzieniu”. Paweł miał rzymskie obywatelstwo, a więc nie można go było skazać na śmierć jak Jezusa, ale można go było dalej trzymać w więzieniu. Później w Dziejach Apostolskich 25:9 czytamy: “Ale Festus, chcąc zyskać przychylność Żydów, odpowiedział Pawłowi tymi słowy: Czy chcesz pojechać do Jerozolimy”. Festus prawdopodobnie zdawał sobie sprawę, że tam dojdzie do zamachu. Paweł skorzystał wtedy ze swoich praw i odwołał się do Cezara.W 64 roku kolejnym prokuratorem Judei został Gesjusz Florus. Dostał to stanowisko bo jego żona przyjaźniła się z żoną Nerona. Według Józefa Flawiusza sprowokował on Żydów do buntu, który wybuchł w roku 66. Jego następcą był Marek Antoniusz Julianus, który piastował urząd prokuratora w czasie wojny żydowskiej czyli w latach 66-70. Był on ostatnim piastującym ten urząd. Od 70 roku w Judei rządzili już rzymscy legaci.Podsumowując. Błędne nazwanie Piłata prokuratorem nie jest winą Biblii. Tak określali Piłata historycy tacy jak Józef Flawiusz i Tacyt. Nowy Testament został napisany po grecku i tam występuje słowo hegemon na określenie Piłata, Feliksa i Festusa. Wszyscy oni byli namiestnikami Judei i tak jest to zwykle tłumaczone w polskich Bibliach. Łacińskie słowo procurator można znaleźć w łacińskim przekładzie, ale nie na określenie tych trzech, ale w Mateusza 20:8 gdzie mowa o zarządcy winnicy. Chociaż więc Piłat nie miał tytułu prokuratora Judei to można go tak określać jako przedstawiciela cesarza w tym regionie.A gdy nastał wieczór, mówi pan winnicy do rządcy swego: Zwołaj robotników i daj im zapłatę, a zacznij od ostatnich aż do pierwszych.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Ewangelia-Mateusza/20/8Związali go więc, odprowadzili i przekazali namiestnikowi Piłatowi.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Ewangelia-Mateusza/27/2Kazał też trzymać w pogotowiu zwierzęta juczne, aby wsadzić na nie Pawła i odstawić go cało do namiestnika Feliksa.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Dzieje-Apostolskie/23/24A gdy go ujrzeli arcykapłani i słudzy, krzyknęli głośno: Ukrzyżuj, ukrzyżuj!

BRATISLAVA - Nákaza slintačky a krívačky je aktuálne potvrdená v štyroch chovoch na južnom Slovensku. Vláda už vyhlásila mimoriadnu situáciu na celom území Slovenska, čo má umožniť lepšiu koordináciu všetkých procesov. Viac o tom, ako sa nám darí bojovať s touto nákazou a aká bude budúcnosť chovu poľnohospodárskych zvierat na Slovensku, povedal v Analýzach 24 minister pôdohospodárstva a rozvoja vidieka Slovenskej republiky Richard Takáč. 

Hostia: Ľubomír Kráľ (prezident Komory veterinárnych lekárov SR) a Juraj Kopáček (riaditeľ Virologického ústavu SAV). | Zhodnotenie aktuálnej situácie – do akej miery sa nákaza rozšírila? Je tempo šírenia nákazy prekvapivé? Boli na Slovensku prijaté adekvátne opatrenia proti šíreniu nákazy? Je likvidácia celých chovov v širokom okruhu nevyhnutným opatrením? Nákaza SLAK sa na Slovensko dostala z Maďarska, kde sa podľa dostupných informácií nákaza z pôvodného ohniska ďalej v krajine nešíri. Podarilo sa maďarským orgánom efektívne izolovať ohnisko? Ako a odkiaľ sa vírus mohol dostať do Maďarska? Aká je úloha veterinárov v potláčaní šírenia infekcie? Máme dostatok takýchto expertov? Aký je charakter tohto vírusového ochorenia? Ako sa šíri a prejavuje? Môže nám pri pochopení správania vírusu, jeho šírenia a zavádzaných opatrení pomôcť minulá skúsenosť s koronavírusom – existujú tam paralely, resp. v čom sa líšia? Bude vírus podobne mutovať, sú dostupné účinné vakcíny? Majú na šírenie vírusu vplyv napríklad poveternostné podmienky, oteplenie, zvýšená aktivita zveri na jar a pod.? Vírus sa na Slovensku naposledy objavil pred zhruba 50 rokmi, celkovo je v Európe pomerne zriedkavý. Prečo sa ho nepodarilo vyhubiť úplne alebo potlačiť? | Nákaza dobytka vyvolala mimoriadnu situácia. | Moderuje: Marta Jančkárová; | Diskusiu Z prvej ruky pripravuje Slovenský rozhlas, Rádio Slovensko, SRo1.

Nil Mısır. Kaza sonucu felç olduğunda aklına gelen tek şey Ayşecik filmiydi.. Önce tekerlekli sandalyeye oturmayı öğrendi, bugün otomobil de kullanıyor! Ve milli okçu olarak dünya ikincisi, Avrupa Şampiyonu! Nil Mısır sıra dışı hikayesini NTVRadyo dinleyicileri için anlattı.

Pierwsza wzmianka o Saulu, który później znany był jako apostoł Paweł znajduje się w Dziejach Apostolskich 5:58. Czytamy tam o zamordowaniu Szczepana: “A wypchnąwszy go poza miasto, kamienowali. Świadkowie zaś złożyli szaty swoje u stóp młodzieńca, zwanego Saulem”.  Z tego wersety dowiadujemy się dwóch rzeczy: był młody i był wrogiem chrystianizmu.Szczepana ukamienowano około 34 roku. Paweł był młodzieńcem czyli miał wtedy około 30 lat. Tak więc urodził się około 5 roku n.e. Jak sam powiedział w Dziejach 21:39 był Żydem urodzonym w Tarsie w Cylicji (wschodnie wybrzeże dzisiejszej Turcji). Miał też obywatelstwo rzymskie. Skąd jego rodzina znalazła się w tym mieście? W 63 roku p.n.e. Pompejusz Wielki oblegał Jerozolimę. Wziął wtedy tysiące jeńców żydowskich. Stali się oni niewolnikami. Wyzwolony niewolnik obywatela rzymskiego sam stawał się obywatelem. Niektórzy historycy sugerują, że Saul był potomkiem właśnie takiego wyzwoleńca (łac. libertus).W Liście do Filipian 3:5 tak się przedstawił: “Obrzezany dnia ósmego, z rodu izraelskiego, z pokolenia Beniaminowego, Hebrajczyk z Hebrajczyków, co do zakonu faryzeusz”. Chociaż więc jego rodzina mieszkała w Tarsie przestrzegała prawa mojżeszowego. Pochodził z plemienia Beniaminitów i nosił imię króla z tego rodu. Może to sugerować, że był potomkiem króla Saula. Został wychowany jako faryzeusz, bo w Dziejach 23:6 powiedział: “ja jestem faryzeuszem, synem faryzeuszów”. Żydzi mieszkający wśród pogan nadawali swoim dzieciom także drugie imię. Imię Paweł znaczy mały lub pokorny.W Tarasie uprawiano len. Wytwarzano też tkaniny z koziej sierści. Sprzyjało to rozwojowi takich rzemiosł jak tkactwo i wyrób namiotów. Gdy później podczas swoich podróży Paweł przybył do Koryntu korzystał z umiejętności, które nabył w rodzinnym mieście. W Dziejach Apostolskich 18:3 czytamy: “A ponieważ uprawiał to samo rzemiosło, zamieszkał u nich i pracowali razem; byli bowiem z zawodu wytwórcami namiotów”. Rodzice wysłali go jednak także do Jerozolimy. Tam studiował u znanego faryzeusza Gamaliela Starszego o czym wspomina w Dziejach 22:3.Po ukamienowaniu Szczepana Paweł dostał listy uwierzytelniające od arcykapłana aby wyłapać chrześcijan w Damaszku. Świadczy to o tym, że robił karierę w judaizmie. Po zniszczeniu Jerozolimy w 70 roku zniknęły inne sekty jak saduceusze, ale faryzeusze przetrwali. Współczesny judaizm stworzyli właśnie uczniowie faryzeusza Gamaliela. Paweł zrezygnował z tej kariery gdy został chrześcijaninem. Napisał o tym w Filipian 3:8 gdzie czytamy: “wszystko uznaję za śmiecie, żeby zyskać Chrystusa”.W drodze do Damaszku utracił wzrok i już w tym mieście na ulicy Prostej (która istnieje do dzisiaj) został chrześcijaninem. Czytamy o tym w Dziejach 9:11. Według tradycji stało się to 25 stycznia w 34 lub 35 roku. Dzieje Apostolskie mówią dalej o tym, że sam spotkał się z prześladowaniem w Damaszku i uciekł do Jerozolimy. Jednak w Liście do Galatów 1:17 wspomina: “Ani też nie udałem się do Jerozolimy do tych, którzy przede mną byli apostołami, ale poszedłem do Arabii, po czym znowu wróciłem do Damaszku”. Ta podróż jest dość tajemnicza i wspomniana tylko w tym jednym miejscu.W Jerozolimie początkowo chrześcijanie go unikali, ale uwierzył mu Barnaba i przyprowadził go do apostołów. W Dziejach Apostolskich 9:29 czytamy: “Rozmawiał też i rozprawiał z hellenistami, lecz ci usiłowali go zgładzić”. Paweł uciekł już z Damaszku, a teraz także musiał uciekać z Jerozolimy. Odesłano go do Tarsu. Barnaba jednak zapamiętał, że Paweł dyskutował z hellenistami czyli Żydami mówiącymi po grecku. W Antiochii Syryjskiej dużo Greków stawało się chrześcijanami. O tym mieście leżącym w Syrii nagram osobny odcinek. Apostołowie wysłali tam Barnabę. On widząc ile jest pracy poszedł do Tarsu po Saula.W Dziejach 11:26 czytamy: “A gdy go znalazł, przyprowadził go do Antiochii. I tak się ich sprawy ułożyły, że przez cały rok przebywali razem w zborze i nauczali wielu ludzi; w Antiochii też nazwano po raz pierwszy uczniów chrześcijanami”. Stamtąd później obaj wyruszyli w pierwszą podróż misjonarską. Popłynęli na Cypr biorąc ze sobą Marka, kuzyna Barnaby. Wydarzyło się tam kilka ważnych rzeczy. Na tej wyspie Saul zaczął używać imienia Paweł. Być może dlatego, że prokonsul nazywał się Sergiusz Paweł. Barnaba stał się tam mniej ważny, a jego kuzyn opuścił ich i wrócił do Jerozolimy.Paweł i Barnaba ruszyli później przez tereny dzisiejszej Turcji. Z Antiochii Pizydyjskiej zostali wyrzuceni, w Ikonium chciano ich ukamienować, a w Listrze doszło do tego. W Dziejach 14:19 czytamy: “Tymczasem nadeszli z Antiochii i z Ikonium Żydzi i namówiwszy tłum, ukamienowali Pawła i wywlekli go za miasto, sądząc, że umarł”. Paweł poszedł jednak dalej do Derbe, a potem wrócił do tych trzech wrogich miast. Spotykał się jednak wyłącznie z innymi chrześcijanami.Po powrocie do Antiochii Syryjskiej doszło do sporu w kwestii obrzezania. Była duża grupa chrześcijan, która uważała, że chrześcijanie powinni także przestrzegać prawa mojżeszowego. Cały 15 rozdział Dziejów Apostolskich jest temu poświęcony. Paweł z Barnabą ruszyli do Jerozolimy gdzie podjęto decyzję. Chrześcijanie pogańskiego pochodzenia nie muszą się obrzezywać. Mają tylko unikać krwi, bałwochwalstwa i niemoralności.Najwyraźniej podczas tej wizyty doszło do spotkania. W Galatów 2:9 czytamy: “Otóż, gdy poznali okazaną mi łaskę, Jakub i Kefas, i Jan, którzy są uważani za filary, podali mnie i Barnabie prawicę na dowód wspólnoty, abyśmy poszli do pogan, a oni do obrzezanych”. Kefas czyli Piotr oraz Jakub i Jan umówili się z Pawłem i Barnabą, że podzielą się terenem misyjnym. Piotr i inni z Jerozolimy mieli głosić Żydom, a Paweł i Barnaba poganom.Niestety po powrocie do Antiochii Syryjskiej. Paweł i Barnaba pokłócili się. Ten ostatni chciał w kolejną podróż ponownie zabrać swojego kuzyna Marka, który ich opuścił podczas pierwszej wyprawy. W Dziejach 15:39 jest użyte greckie słowo “paroxysmos” oznaczające ostrą kłótnię. W różnych przekładach oddano to jako wielki gniew lub ostre starcie. Rozdzielili się. Paweł zabrał ze sobą Sylasa. Udali się do Listy, tego miasta gdzie Paweł został podczas pierwszej podróży ukamienowany. Barnaba wziął swojego kuzyna Marka i poszedł w inną stronę. Ten Marek to prawdopodobnie późniejszy ewangelista.W Listrze do Pawła dołączył Tymoteusz. Poznał go prawdopodobnie już podczas pierwszej wizyty. Być może właśnie w domu Tymoteusza był opatrywany po kamienowaniu. Cała ta grupa przeszła aż do Troady na zachodzie dzisiejszej Turcji. Tam dołączył do nich Łukasz autor Dziejów Apostolskich. Tam przepłynęli do Macedonii. W Filippi, rzymskiej kolonii, Paweł i Sylas zostali wychłostani. W mieście doszło do rozruchów, a władcy kazali ich ukarać bez sądu. Później jednak musieli przeprosić Pawła, gdy usłyszeli, że jest obywatelem rzymskim. Kogoś takiego nie można było karać bez sądu.Później Paweł, Sylas, Tymoteusz, Łukasz i inni wyruszyli do Tesaloniki i Berei. Paweł ponownie spotkał się ze sprzeciwem i musiał sam uciekać do Aten. Tam najwyraźniej stanął przed sądem Ateńskim na Areopagu. Wygląda na to, że oskarżono go o głoszenie cudzoziemskich bogów. Paweł wybrnął z tego wskazując na ołtarz poświęcony nieznanemu bogu. W Dziejach 17:34 czytamy: “niektórzy mężowie przyłączyli się do niego i uwierzyli, a wśród nich również Dionizy Areopagita”. Ten Dionizy był członkiem sądu na Areopagu.Z Aten Paweł udał się do Koryntu gdzie przydała mu się umiejętność tworzenia namiotów. Zaczął je robić wraz małżeństwem Akwilasem i Pryscyllą. Gdy z Tesaloniki przybyli Sylas i Tymoteusz najwyraźniej przywieźli pieniądze, bo Paweł przestał pracować i całkowicie zajął się słowem (Dzieje 18:5). Chciano go ponownie postawić przed sądem, ale władca Koryntu nie chciał się mieszać w kwestie religijne między Żydami. Później po jakichś dwóch latach Paweł popłynął do Efezu, gdzie zostawił Akwilasa z żoną, a sam udał się do Antiochii Syryjskiej swojej bazy wypadowej.Łukasz, autor Dziejów Apostolskich także najwyraźniej został w Efezie. Tak więc nie znamy szczegółów początku trzeciej wyprawy Pawła i jego trasy z Antiochii do Efezu, ale prawdopodobnie szedł przez swoje rodzinne miasto Tars, potem przez Listrę miasto Tymoteusza, aż dotarł do Efezu, gdzie najwyraźniej mieszkał Łukasz. Później Paweł ponownie przeszedł Macedonię i Achaję, ale nie znamy szczegółów, możliwe, że Łukasz mu nie towarzyszył. Za to mamy pełną relację z rozruchów, do których doszło po powrocie Pawła do Efezu.Paweł musiał się ukrywać przed producentami dewocjonaliów dla odwiedzających świątynię Artemidy Efeskiej. Wywołali oni rozruchy, ale przyjaciele ukryli Pawła gdy tłum domagał się jego ukarania. Później gdy udawał się do Jerozolimy musiał unikać także Żydowskich wrogów, którzy planowali zamach i udał się inną drogą. W Jerozolimie jego obecność wywołała kolejne zamieszki. Wyprowadzono go ze świątyni i zamierzano zabić, ale uratowali go Rzymianie stacjonujący w twierdzy Antonia. Prawdopodobnie ze schodów tej twierdzy Paweł przemówił do wzburzony Żydów i rozzłościł ich jeszcze bardziej (Dzieje rozdział 22).A Paweł rzekł: Jestem Żydem z Tarsu w Cylicji, obywatelem dosyć znacznego miasta; proszę cię, pozwól mi przemówić do ludu.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Dzieje-Apostolskie/21/39A po kilku dniach przybył Feliks z żoną swoją Druzyllą, która była Żydówką. Kazał więc sprowadzić Pawła i przysłuchiwał się mu, co mówił o wierze w Jezusa Chrystusa.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Dzieje-Apostolskie/24/24A cierpliwość Pana naszego uważajcie za ratunek, jak i umiłowany brat nasz, Paweł, w mądrości, która mu jest dana, pisał do washttps://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-List-Piotra/3/15

This month, Mary had the opportunity to meet with artist and scholar, Neal Aronowitz. They spoke in Neal's studio in Portland, Oregon - a place where he works with concrete and wood, aluminum, marble, glass and electricity. Neal applies his artistic sensibilities to furniture design - specifically consoles, coffee tables and light fixtures. His style is profoundly affected by his kinship with the natural world. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Neal came to know wild nature in adventures his family would take into the woodlands and mountains of New York State. He studied art and architecture at City University of NY and Massachusetts College of Art exploring the disciplines of metalwork, glassmaking, woodworking, ceramics, photography, and multimedia sculpture. Then, to keep his young family cared for, he developed a construction business. All along, however, he remained powerfully interested and invested in the plant world - expressing his devotion through urban gardens of fruit and vegetables - and gardens of water. Now he's essentially finished with construction and spends his time pursuing his life's love of artistic expression in design. In the short time he's been giving the majority of his attention to this work, he's received great acclaim, including being the subject of an award winning documentary, HOW TO BEND CONCRETE IN 108 EASY STEPS. He's been featured in Interiors Magazine, Luxe, Spaces, Elle, and Kaza - a magazine in Sao Paulo. He won the 2017 Gray Award and was named Best of the Year in 2018 by Interior Design. He was also recognized by Artisan Design and was a finalist in the 2024 NYC by Design Awards. In this episode Neal shares the story of his artistic pursuits and then weaves that tale directly into ways that we can all be part of climate repair.You can learn more about Neal and see examples of his designs by visiting his website @nealaronowitz.com. And, in case you missed the link above, here's access to the documentary, HOW TO BEND CONCRETE IN 108 EASY STEPS. For those who are interested, we asked Neal for his recommendations on what to read to learn more about Vedanta and include those with other resources he mentioned during our conversation. We list those below.Throughout our time Neal emphasized how nothing happens separate from the physical world - from nature, its atomic and subatomic activity and order. The whole world is here and in relationship with each and all. As Neal reminds us, we're in good company.

Šodien raidījumā Divas puslodes daudz runājam par Krieviju, par tās veiksmēm un neveiksmēm, mēģinot savā pusē iegūt vairāk sabiedroto kā pretpolu Rietumu demokrātijai. Šobrīd tā jau ir ierasta lieta, ka, runājot par notiekošo pasaulē, ir jāpiemin arī Krievija. Aktualitātes analizē Latvijas Radio Ziņu dienesta žurnālists Uldis Ķezberis un politologs Veiko Spolītis. Viedokli izsaka bijušais ANO Kišiņevas biroja darbinieks Oskars Kastēns. Moldova – līdz ar nagiem Eiropā 20. oktobra vakars, jādomā, daudziem proeiropeiski noskaņotiem Moldovas pilsoņiem kļuva par pārbaudījuma brīdi. Balsu skaitīšanai ejot uz beigām, izskatījās, ka uz jautājumu „Vai atbalstāt izmaiņas Konstitūcijā ar nolūku Moldovai iestāties Eiropas Savienībā?” vairums balsojušo ir atbildējuši ar „Nē”. Prezidente Maija Sandu sasauca ārkārtas preses konferenci, kurā runāja par „ārēju spēku” bezprecedenta iejaukšanos balsošanas procesā. Nevienam nebija ne mazāko šaubu, ka ar „ārējiem spēkiem” jāsaprot Kremlis un tā pakalpiņi. Krievija devusi patvērumu Moldovas partijām un politiķiem, kuri pretdarbojas proeiropeiski orientētās valdības centieniem. Šī gada aprīlī piecas šādas partijas Maskavā nodibināja aliansi ar nosaukumu „Uzvara”; tās politiskais mugurkauls ir Šora partija – kopš pagājušā gada jūnija Moldovā aizliegts politisks spēks, kura dibinātājs ir aizmuguriski par smagiem ekonomiskiem noziegumiem notiesātais, Krievijā mītošais miljonārs Ilans Šors. Saskaņā ar Moldovas drošības iestāžu pausto, mēnešos pirms referenduma caur Šora organizētu shēmu apmēram 130 000 vēlētāju saņēmuši naudu par attiecīgu balsojumu, kā arī par eiroskeptisku viedokļu izplatīšanu sociālajā tīklā „Telegram”. Grūti spriest, cik no šiem līdzekļiem ir paša Šora sarūpēti, cik – Kremļa sponsorējums. Eiroskeptiskā vēstījuma centrā bija tēzes, ka virzīšanās uz Eiropas Savienību izraisīšot tiešu konfliktu ar Krieviju, ka tā sola Moldovas ļaudīm vien dzīves dārdzības pieaugumu, kamēr draudzība ar Kremli – lētu gāzi un degvielu. Vēl viens motīvs ir bažas, ka eirointegrācija nozīmēs vēl ciešākas saites ar Moldovai etniski un vēsturiski ļoti tuvo Rumāniju, kas kaitēs apmēram astoņpadsmit procentiem nemoldāvu iedzīvotāju. Sevišķi izplatīti šādi noskaņojumi ir Gagauzijas autonomijā, kur dzīvo apmēram 125 000 tjurku valodu saimei piederīgās gagauzu valodas runātāju. Šeit pret konstitūcijas izmaiņām balsojušo proporcija pārsniedza 90%, savukārt krieviskajos valsts ziemeļu rajonos un separātiskajā Piedņestrā tā ir no sešdesmit pieciem līdz astoņdesmit procentiem. Savukārt par iestāšanos Eiropas Savienībā vairākums balsojis galvaspilsētā Kišiņevā un tai tuvākajos valsts centra rajonos. Kā izrādījās pirmdienas rītā, Moldovas eiropeisko kursu par mata tiesu glāba ārzemēs dzīvojošie pilsoņi, kuru balsis deva pozitīvu iznākumu ar nepilniem 50,4%. Līdztekus referendumam notika arī Moldovas prezidenta vēlēšanas, kurās Maija Sandu ieguva labāko rezultātu – vairāk nekā 42% balsu, kas nozīmē, ka otrajā kārtā viņa sacentīsies ar agrāko ģenerālprokuroru, Moldovas Sociālistu partijas atbalstīto gagauzu izcelsmes politiķi Aleksandru Stojanoglo, kurš ieguvis vairāk nekā 26%. Arī šajā gadījumā par proeiropeiskās prezidentes panākumiem nav pilnīgi drošas pārliecības, jo vēl vairāki viņas konkurenti pārstāv Aleksandram Stojanoglo tuvus uzskatus un varētu aicināt savu vēlētājus balsot par viņu. „Rietumu kapraču” saiets Kazaņā Šajās dienās Krievijas Federācijas autonomās republikas Tatarstānas galvaspilsēta Kazaņa uzņem BRICS organizācijas valstu vadītāju sešpadsmito samitu. Tāda mēroga un līmeņa starptautisks forums Krievijā nav pieredzēts ne vien pēdējos izolācijas un sankciju gados, bet pat pēdējās pāris desmitgadēs. Dibināšanas brīdī 2009. gadā organizācijā bija četras dalībvalstis – Brazīlija, Krievija, Indija un Ķīna. Gadu vēlāk pievienojās Dienvidāfrikas Republika. Visbeidzot šogad organizācijā iestājušās Apvienotie Arābu Emirāti, Ēģipte, Etiopija un Irāna; savu pievienošanos, kas arī tika plānota ar šo gadu, joprojām apsver Saūda Arābija. Attiecīgi visnotaļ reprezentatīvajā kompānijā, kas pulcējusies Kazaņā, ir Ķīnas prezidents Sji, Indijas premjerministrs Modi, Dienvidāfrikas prezidents Ramafosa, Apvienoto Arābu Emirātu prezidents al Nahajans, Irānas prezidents Pezeškiāns, Ēģiptes prezidents el Sisi un Etiopijas premjerministrs Ahmeds. Tāpat ieradušies vairāki citi reģionāli nozīmīgi vadītāji – tādi kā Turcijas prezidents Erdogans un Vjetnamas premjerministrs Tiņs –, kuru valstis arī izrāda interesi par dalību BRICS. Brazīlijas prezidents Lula da Silva savu ierašanos atcēlis, taču, cik var noprast, ne politisku, bet medicīnisku iemeslu dēļ – viņš esot nelaimīgi traumējis galvu. Skaidrs, ka šis notikums ir īsta medusmaize Rietumu sankcijām pakļautajam, starptautiskos noziegumos apsūdzētajam Krievijas vadonim Vladimiram Putinam. Pretstāve ar reitumvalstīm kopš plaša mēroga iebrukuma Ukrainā ir viņa politikas vadmotīvs, savukārt BRICS jau savas dibināšanas brīdī bija organizācija, kas pretendēja veidot Rietumiem, īpaši G7 grupas valstīm, alternatīvu ekonomiskās aprites un sadarbības struktūru. Līdz ar jaunajām dalībvalstīm tagad organizācija pārstāv apmēram 45% pasaules iedzīvotāju un apmēram trešdaļu ekonomikas apjoma, un Kremļa saimnieks var demonstrēt savu „iztiksim bez Rietumiem” stāju. Tiesa, kā ar smīnu norāda Rietumu mediji, var jau deklarēt, piemēram, mērķi atkratīties no ASV dolāra un eiro savstarpējos norēķinos, taču norādījumos samita apmeklētājiem minēts, ka līdzi ieteicams ņemt skaidru naudu, un to pašu, ļoti vēlams, dolāros un eiro, jo globāli izmantotās maksājumu kartes lepnajā Krievzemē nedarbojas, savukārt ne visas turienes bankas varētu labprāt pieņemt Indijas rūpijas vai Etiopijas birus. Kas attiecas uz Putina politiskajiem ieguvumiem, tad tādi, protams, būs – sevišķi jau Krievijas iekšējam patēriņam. Daudz pieticīgāk vērtējama samita ietekme uz Kremļa starptautiskajām pozīcijām. Korejiešu kājas krievu zābakos 21. oktobrī Krievijas vēstnieks Dienvidkorejā tika izsaukts uz ārlietu ministriju Seulā, kur ministra pirmais vietnieks viņam izteica savas valsts visstingrāko protestu par Ziemeļkorejas karavīru ierašanos Krievijā, acīmredzot, lai balstītu agresorvalsti tās kara pret Ukrainu. Saskaņā ar Dienvidkorejas izlūkdienesta pausto, pagaidām ieradusies pirmā grupa – apmēram 1500 īpašo uzdevumu vienības kareivju, taču, pēc tās pašas aģentūras ziņām, kopējais nosūtāmo skaits varētu sasniegt 12 000. Tāpat pirmdien Ukrainas Stratēģiskās komunikācijas un informācijas drošības centrs publiskoja video, kurā redzami it kā korejieši, kuri saņem Krievijas armijas aprīkojumu un formastērpus. Ukrainas prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis, uzstājoties ar videouzrunu svētdienas vakarā, pauda atzinību tiem Ukrainas partneriem, kuri „nepiever acis un runā atklāti par šo sadarbību, kas vērš plašumā karu”. Tas ir zināms mājiens Savienotajām Valstīm, kuras pagaidām izvairīgi komentējušas publiskoto informāciju par ziemeļkorejiešu specvienību potenciālo izmantošanu karā pret Ukrainu. Jāpiebilst, ka vismaz formāli Ziemeļkorejas īpašo uzdevumu spēku apjoms ir milzīgs – tuvu pie 200 tūkstošiem, taču šis lielais skaitlis liek nedaudz šaubīties par šo karavīru sagatavotības līmeni. Tiek lēsts, ka pat šo it kā elitāro vienību kareivji ir vāji apgādāti, sagatavoti un motivēti, salīdzinot ar rietumvalstu armiju profesionāļiem. Apšaubāma ir viņu motivācija karot par savu totalitāro tēvzemi un tās vadoni, sevišķi tad, ja padošanās gadījumā viņiem tiks piesolīta iespēja pārceļot uz Dienvidkoreju. Ja ir runa par notiekošā politisko efektu, tad tas ir visai demonstratīvs žests, kam jāapliecina Putina iespējas būvēt globālu „totalitāro varmāku aliansi” savas agresijas atbalstam. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

Lietuvā ir noslēgusies parlamenta vēlēšanu pirmā kārta. Ķīnas un Eiropas Savienības attiecības turpina saasināties, it sevišķi tirdzniecības jomā. Reģiona līderu tikšanās Turkmenistānā. Aktualitātes analizē laikraksta "Diena" ārpolitikas komentētājs Andis Sedlenieks, Latvijas Transatlantiskās organizācijas ģenerālsekretāre Sigita Struberga. Sazināmies ar Latvijas TV žurnālisti Paulu Koškinu un RSU Politikas zinātnes doktorantūras vadītāju, Ķīnas Studiju centra direktori, Latvijas ārpolitikas institūta Āzijas programmas direktori Unu Aleksandru Bērziņu-Čerenkovu. Lietuva griež pa kreisi Pēc 13. oktobrī notikušās Lietuvas Seima vēlēšanu pirmās kārtas ir skaidrs, ka aptauju rādītāji nav melojuši un mūsu kaimiņvalsti gaida valdošo spēku nomaiņa un politikas pagrieziens vairāk vai mazāk pa kreisi. Pārliecinošās līderpozīcijas, kuras 2020. gada vēlēšanās ieguva konservatīvā partija Tēvzemes savienība – Lietuvas kristīgie demokrāti, sāka šķobīties jau drīz pēc vēlēšanām, un ap 2021. gada vidu valdošos konservatorus popularitātē apsteidza Lietuvas Sociāldemokrātiskā partija. Daudz labāk neklājās arī premjerministres Ingrīdas Šimonītes vadītās koalīcijas mazākajiem partneriem – Liberālajai kustībai un Brīvības partijai. Tajā pašā laikā turpināja kristies arī līdz 2020. gadam valdošās Zemnieku un zaļo savienības reitingi, un ja vēlēšanu laikā šī partija vēl bija otrā, tad 2022. gada vidū – tikai ceturtā. Šīm partijām zudušais politiskais kapitāls tika ne vien sociāldemokrātiem, bet arī 2022. gada sākumā kādreizējā premjerministra Sauļus Skverneļa dibinātajai kreisi centriskajai partijai Demokrātu savienība „Par Lietuvu!”. Visbeidzot šī gada sākumā Lietuvas politiskajā skatuvē uznāca vēl viens spēks – partija „Nemunas rītausma”, kura pati sevi raksturo kā kreisi centrisku, liberālu un kristīgu, taču politikas novērotāju apzīmēta visbiežāk kā nacionālistiski populistiska. Pavasarī piedzīvojusi strauju popularitātes kāpumu, kas, visticamāk, panākts, piesaistot līdz šim politiski inerto elektorāta daļu, vēlēšanu priekšvakarā „Nemunas rītausma” jau nepatīkami cepināja valdošo konservatīvo pakausi. Lietuvas vēlēšanu sistēma ir jaukta. 70 no 141 Seima deputāta ievēl proporcionālā balsojumā, savukārt atlikušo septiņdesmit vienu – vienmandāta apgabalos. Pirmajā kārtā šais apgabalos mandātu iegūst kandidāts, par kuru nobalsojusi vairāk nekā puse no balsojušajiem, kas pie tam ir ne mazāk kā piektdaļa no reģistrētajiem vēlētājiem. Šādi apgabali šoreiz ir astoņi, tādējādi pēc pirmās kārtas ir ievēlēti 78 tautas priekšstāvji – 20 sociāldemokrāti, 18 no „Tēvzemes savienības”, 15 no „Nemunas rītausmas”, astoņi no „Par Lietuvu!”, astoņi no Liberāļu kustības, divi no partijas „Lietuvas poļu vēlēšanu akcija” un viens neatkarīgais deputāts. Pārējo 63 mandātu liktenis izšķirsies otrajā kārtā 27. oktobrī. Tiek lēsts, ka šī kārta diezin vai glābs valdošos konservatīvos no zaudējuma, ciktāl pēc pirmās kārtas viņi teju par divām trešdaļām atpaliek no sava snieguma iepriekšējās vēlēšanās. Tas pats sakāms par „zemniekiem un zaļajiem”, kuru rezultāts šobrīd šķiet katastrofāls – iegūti vien seši mandāti, respektīvi, apmēram piektā daļa no iepriekšējās vēlēšanās savāktajiem. Sociāldemokrātu līdere Vilija Blinkevičūte jau paziņojusi, ka konservatīvo līdera Gabrieļus Landsberģa aicinājumi veidot plašu varavīksnes koalīciju, nelaižot pie varas „Nemunas rītausmu”, viņu jau nogurdinājuši – koalīcija ar konservatīvajiem sociāldemokrātiem nav domājama. Toties kā nākamās iespējamās koalīcijas kodols iezīmējas sociāldemokrātu un „Par Lietuvu” centristu kombinācija. „Literatūras mīļotāju” tikšanās Šogad Turkmenistāna atzīmē trīssimto gadadienu kopš sava izcilā literāta, dzejnieka Mahtimguli dzimšanas. Šai literatūrvēsturiskajā sakarā pagājušās nedēļas nogalē Ašgabatā uz saietu pulcējās visai reprezentatīva reģiona līderu kompānija. Turkmenistānas līderi Serdaru Berdimuhamedovu bija pagodinājuši nesen ievēlētais Irānas prezidents Masuds Pezeškiāns, Kazahstānas prezidents Kasimžomarts Tokajevs, Kirgizstānas prezidents Sadīrs Džparovs, Tadžikistānas prezidents Emomali Rahmons, Uzbekistānas prezidents Šavkats Mirzijojevs un Armēnijas prezidents Vahagns Hačaturjans. Un, kur gadījies, kur ne – respektīvi, iepriekš nepieteikts – Ašgabadā piezemējās arī Krievijas režīma vadonis Vladimirs Putins. Uzstājoties foruma atklāšanā, viņš paziņoja, ka Krievija tagad būvējot „jaunu pasaules kārtību” un pulcēšot ap sevi antirietumniecisku valstu sadraudzību. Par nozīmīgāko saieta notikumu, attiecīgi, kļuva tā pamatprogrammā neietilpstošā Kremļa saimnieka tikšanās ar savu Irānas kolēģi Pezeškiānu, kas iezīmēja tālāku tuvināšanos starp šiem diviem mūsdienu pasaules izraidītajiem. Abi vadoņi slavēja savstarpējo sadarbību, kas, Irānas līdera vārdiem runājot, ik dienu nostiprinās kā ekonomiski, tā kulturāli. Kā zināms, viena no spilgtākām šo „ekonomiski kulturālo” saišu izpausmēm ir Irānas Krievijai piegādātās tuvā rādiusa ballistiskās raķetes „Fath 360”. Domājams, ka Ašgabadas tikšanās ir prelūdija nolīgumiem, kas varētu tikt slēgti „BRICS” samitā, kuru nākamnedēļ prezidējošā valsts Krievija uzņem Kazaņā. Atšķirībā no šī „literatūras cienītāju” salidojuma, kur Putins varēja justies kā centrālā figūra, Tatarstānas galvaspilsētā klātesoši būs tādi globālie smagsvari kā Ķīnas līderis Sjī un Indijas premjers Narendra Modi. Elektroauto un konjaks uz grauda tirdzniecības karā Kopš pagājušās nedēļas pasaules preses virsrakstos piesauc teju neizbēgamu tirdzniecības karu starp Eiropas Savienību un Ķīnu. Viss sākās ar to, ka aizpagājušajā piektdienā Eiropadome ar balsu vairākumu apstiprināja papildu muitas nodevu noteikšanu no Ķīnas importētajiem elektroauto. Savienība uzlūko kā negodīgu konkurenci Ķīnas subsīdijas šai ražošanas nozarei, kas aktīvi iespiežas ar savu produkciju salīdzinoši nepiesātinātajā Eiropas tirgū. Kopš 2020. gada Eiropas Savienībā pārdoto ķīniešu elektromobiļu tirgus daļa pieaugusi no nepilniem 4% līdz 25%. Pret savienības sankcijām balsoja Vācija, kuras autoindustrijas kompānijas daļu produkcijas ražo Ķīnā, kā arī Ungārija, tradicionāli darbojoties kā Pekinas interešu aģents Eiropā. Ķīna, protams, nodēvēja savienības rīcību par nepieņemamu protekcionismu un dažas dienas vēlāk nāca klajā ar pretpasākumu – ievedmuitas noteikšanu Eiropā ražotajam konjakam un brendijam, kas pakļaujot dempingam Ķīnas tirgu. Šo Ķīnas lēmumu Eiropas Savienība savukārt grasās apstrīdēt Pasaules Tirdzniecības organizācijā. Ķīnas pārstāvji jau izteikušies, ka viņu pretenzijas varētu izpelnīties arī Eiropas gaļas produkcija un auto ar lieljaudas benzīna dzinējiem. Kā norāda eksperti, elektromobiļi un konjaks ir īlens, kas izlīdis no apvienotās Eiropas un Ķīnas ekonomisko sakaru maisa. Ķīna pēdējos gados piedzīvojusi iekšējā tirgus pieprasījuma kritumu un, attiecīgi, pārvirza nepieprasīto produkciju ārējā tirgū. Tās eksports uz Eiropas Savienību sasniedzis rekordaugstu līmeni, tāpat kā savienības negatīvā bilance tirdzniecībā ar Āzijas superlielvalsti. Eiropu pārpludina ne vien ķīniešu elektromobiļi, bet arī akumulatori un saules paneļi, vēja turbīnas, tērauds, vecāko modifikāciju mikroshēmas un citi izstrādājumi. Ķīnas valdības mēģinājumi aktivizēt iekšējo patēriņu līdz šim nav devuši rezultātus. Šobrīd starp Briseles un Pekinas pārstāvjiem rit sarunu process ar mērķi vienoties par minimālās cenas slieksni Ķīnas izstrādājumiem un tā izvairīties no pārāk agresīvas konkurences, kas draud ar tirdzniecības karu. Notikušas gan tehnisko ekspertu konsultācijas, gan tikšanās starp komisāru ekonomikas jautājumos Valdi Dombrovski un Ķīnas tirdzniecības ministru Vanu Ventjao. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

Satikšanās, sarunas, ēdiens ārpus ierastā vai varbūt malks pasaules elpas, kuras ikdienā ir par maz… Varbūt tā ir noskaņa, kas rosina apstāties ikdienas ritējumā, vai tieši otrādi - vieta, kur stundas rit straujāk, dzirdot jaunākās ziņas, gan tās, kas visiem labi zināmas, gan tās, kas sabiedrības acīm slēptas. Kafejnīcas un restorāni - šīs sabiedriskās ēdināšanas iestādes vienmēr ir bijušas kas vairāk nekā tikai vieta, kur iedzert kafiju vai paēst. Nesen raidījumā iepazinām padomju detektīvus un tajos ievītās ikdienas dzīves problēmas un noziegumus, šodien aicinu atskatīties vēsturē kafejnīcu dzīvē 20. gadsimtā. Kā darbojās padomju sabiedriskā ēdināšana, ko ēda un kādās telpās uzturējās kafejnīcu apmeklētāji? Kā kafejnīcu arhitektūrā ienāca rietumu elpa un kas bija firmas ēdiens? No ēdienkartes, līdz interjeram un arhitektūrai - par to visu runājam raidījumā ar ēdienu kultūras pētnieci Astru Spalvēnu un mākslas vēsturnieci, Rīgas vēsturisko kafejnīcu pētnieci Agnesi Strautiņu. Padomju laikā būtiskākā funkcija ir paēdināt, aizstāt mājas virtuvi ar sabiedriskās ēdināšanas virtuvi. Tādējādi plaši attīstās ēdnīcu tīklojums. Ir trīs kategorijas padomju laika sabiedriskajā ēdināšanās – ēdnīcas, kafejnīcas, restorāni. Iestāžu tipi ir skaidri definēti.  "Mēs nevaram, runājot par padomju okupācijas periodu, saukt kaut ko tādu kā "Makdonalds" par restorānu, to vienkārši nedrīkst darīt. Arī restorānu klases, ja nemaldos bija trīs, kur augstākajā klasē obligāti ir dzīvā mūzika un jābūt auduma galdautiem," stāsta Astra Spalvēna. Šajā laikā restorāna apmeklējums ir īpaša pieredze, kas arī nav viegli pieejama.  Agnese Strautiņa vērtē, ka kafejnīcas tomēr bija pulcēšanas vietas, piemēram, "Putnu dārzs", "Kaza" vai "Skapis", kur sanāca, ne tikai, lai paēstu, lai socializētos, būtu kopā. Apmeklētāji nebija klasiski disidenti, vienkārši jauni cilvēki, kas vēlējās būt kopā, izbaudīt brīvību. Viņi varbūt interesējās par lietām, kas attīstījās Rietumu pasaulē, piemēram, franču literatūra. Pamatprincipi interjerā - modernisma arhitektūras principi, kas nemaz nebija unikāli Padomju Savienībai. Receptes bija standartizētas visās Padomju Savienības republikās. Pamatu veidoja pamatīgs receptūru krājums, kur bija uzskaitītas receptes, kas ir atļautas.  "Tur bija noteikts, kādi produkti ietilpst receptē, cik daudz - produktu proporcijas. Ir atsevišķas ailītes - šo ēdienu taisot ēdnīcā vai šo ēdienu taisot restorānā. Tas maina ēdiena proporcijas, gaļas vai citas proporcijas tā paša nosaukuma ēdienam. Tas bija visos ēdināšanas uzņēmumos saistošs," norāda Astra Spalvēna. Krājuma pamatā ir Krievijas, Ukrainas un Baltkrievijas ēdieni, ir vēl atsevišķi papildinājumi katrai republikai.  Līdzvērtīgi bija arī vietējie apstiprināto recepšu krājumi, kas ir obligāti visiem sabiedriskās ēdināšanas uzņēmumiem. Restorānos, kas īpaši rūpējās par savu kvalifikāciju, ir ēdienu kategorija, ko sauc par firmas ēdieniem. Tiem nozīmīgs izskats un pat pārsteiguma elements. Tie nav ierindas ēdieni. Firmas ēdiens bija svarīgs arī, lai ēdināšanas uzņēmums iegūtu augstāku kvalifikāciju. Protams, arī firmas ēdiena recepte bija jāapstiprina pirms ēdienu iekļaut restorāna piedāvājumā. Firmas ēdiena pagatavošanā bija svarīgs pavāra radošums, izmantojot pieejamos produktus. Ēdieniem bija jābūt arī ideoloģiski pareiziem. "Piemēram, hamburgeru nevar pasniegt padomju ēdnīcā, bet kotleti ar baltmaizi var," min Astra Spalvēna. Lai arī bija standartizētas receptes, kotlete Rīgā negaršoja tāpat, kā kotlete Vladivostokā. Tas saistīts ar produktu pieejamību, ar zagšanu un arī ar atšķirīgiem produktiem dažādas republikās.     Sabiedriskās ēdināšanas kontrole vēsturē Padomju okupācijas periodā ne katra sabiedriskās ēdināšanas iestāde drīkstēja saukties par restorānu vai kafejnīcu, un bija stingras prasības attiecībā pret receptūru, ēdiena temperatūru, higiēnu un pat apmeklētāju apģērbu. Mūsdienās vairs nav padomju aparāta, kas šos noteikumus diktētu, tāpēc ēdinātājiem pašiem jāorientējas daudzos jautājumos. Kādi noteikumi sabiedriskajā ēdināšanā pastāvēja agrāk un kas tos regulēja? Vai varat iedomāties, ka mūsdienās restorāni darbotos pēc vienas un tās pašas receptūras, un neatkarīgi no tā, kurp jūs dotos, visur varētu nobaudīt gandrīz vienu un to pašu ēdienu? Bet vēl pirms dažām desmitgadēm – padomju okupācijas periodā – tā patiešām bija, un vienlaikus līdzi nāca citas stingras sabiedriskās ēdināšanas iestāžu prasības, tostarp attiecībā uz higiēnu. Kādi likumi agrāk valdīja ēstuvēs un kas to kontrolēja, stāsta Pārtikas un veterinārā dienesta Pārtikas izplatīšanas uzraudzības daļas vecākā eksperte Ilga Zepa. Pārtikas uzraudzības jomā Ilga Zepa ir strādājusi vēl pirms Latvijas neatkarības atjaunošanas un strādā joprojām, un viņas atmiņās ir gan tas laiks, kad Pārtikas un veterinārais dienests sācis veidot uzraudzību atbilstoši Eiropas Savienības likumdošanai, gan pavāru un konditoru konkursi krietni agrākos laikos. Pārtikas un veterinārais dienests darbojas kopš 2002. gada, un pašlaik tā ir galvenā uzraudzības institūcija saistībā ar pārtikas apriti. Bet, protams, ka pārtikas un sabiedriskās ēdināšanas kontrole bija svarīga arī pirms tam.

Noc z 26 na 27 grudnia 2014 roku dla rodziny Państwa Kazała data, której nigdy nie zapomną. To właśnie wtedy znika ich ukochany syn - Jakub. Jego zaginięcie porusza całą lokalną społeczność, przyjaciół, rodzinę, ale też zupełnych nieznajomych. Odnalezienie Jakuba po kilku tygodniach wzbudza jednak największe kontrowersje. Bo jak to możliwe, że ciała przez kilka tygodni nikt nie zauważa, mimo, że miejsce jego odnalezienia było kilkukrotnie dokładnie sprawdzane? Czy wyjaśniono okoliczności śmierci dwudziestolatka?

Omgewingsake-minister Pohamba Shifeta het hom sterk uitgespreek teen Cites se verbod op die verkoop van ivoor op internasionale markte. In 'n onderhoud met New Era op die kantlyn van die onlangse KAZA-beraad in Livingstone, het hy gesê as die Cites lidlande verbied word om hul ivoorvoorraad te verkoop, sal hulle hul lidmaatskap onttrek. Shifeta het gesê Namibië is voor baie lande wanneer dit kom by gemeenskapsgebaseerde natuurlike hulpbronne se bestuursprogramme, wat goed beplan is. Hy het Namibië ook geloof vir meer goed-bestuurde bewareas. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met dr.

Transcript Wilmer Leon (00:15): Welcome to the Connecting the Dots podcast with Dr. Wilmer Leon and I am Wilmer Leon. Here's the point. We have a tendency to view current events as though they occur in a vacuum, failing to understand the broader historical context in which most of these events take place. During each episode, my guests and I will have probing, provocative, and in-depth discussions that connect the dots between current events and the broader historical context in which they occur. This will enable you to better understand and analyze the events that impact the global village in which we live. On today's episode, we explore the relationships between some of the major conflicts impacting the geopolitical landscape. We'll connect some of the dots between what's happening in Ukraine and Europe, what's happening in Gaza and the Middle East, and what's happening with the relationship between the United States and China. To help me connect these dots is the editor in chief@theduran.com and host of the Duran on YouTube, Alexander MEUs. Alexander, welcome to the show. Alexander Mercouris (01:29): Delighted to be with you again, will Mur, and it's a great pleasure to be on the show. Wilmer Leon (01:33): Thank you so much. And Alexander, let's connect some dots. First, does it make sense to connect the dots between, again, what's happening in Ukraine and Europe, Gaza in the Middle East and the US and China? Because many people see these issues as unrelated, and of course we can add conflicts from other regions as well. But for the sake of time, let's just start with these. Does it make sense? Are these events related? Alexander Urs, Alexander Mercouris (02:02): They are absolutely related. If you see that there is a single connecting thread, that thread is there. It is US policy. The United States is intimately involved in every one of these conflicts. It is the major arm supplier and financial provider to Ukraine and its major diplomatic backer. It is the arm supplier and funder of Israel and its major diplomatic backer. And the same applies to Taiwan, which is of course in the early stages of what is looking like an increasingly dangerous conflict with China. And yesterday there was an article in the Financial Times by a man called Gideon Rackman, who is a very, very well connected journalist, not just in London, but in Washington. And he said that he had discussions with various US officials including members of the Democratic Party and also people within the administration. And they also agreed that these conflicts are all connected with each other. (03:14) The administration believes that they are connected with each other. They are apparently, or so they told Gideon Ratman very gloomy about the way in which these various conflicts are all going. There is in fact, one sense is a sense of controlled panic about this. And as very typically happens when somebody has pulled the strings and made things, pulled the strings in various places and they all start to go wrong. Apparently there are now some people in the administration who believe that they are themselves. Now the target of a plot that the Chinese, the Russians, the Muslim states, the North Koreans, the Iranians, that they're all working together. Wilmer Leon (04:01): When you discussed Ukraine, you mentioned finance and arm supplying. When you mentioned Israel, you mentioned finance and arm supplying. And when it comes to Taiwan, we know for example that Taiwan is now pointing high Mars missiles at China. We know the United States has sent a lot and continues to send a lot of weapons into Taiwan. So many times people hear the military industrial complex and they put that in some kind of grand conspiratorial context. But it sounds like weapons is, and the sale of weapons is the primary motivation here behind these conflicts. Alexander Mercouris (04:52): Absolutely. That is what is driving them in every single case. What has been pushing these conflicts is that the United States, the administration, the political backers of the administration, the various lobbyists in Washington, and you can trace all the lobbyists, all the funding ultimately comes back to a certain limited sources. And the military industrial complex is overwhelmingly the biggest. So the military industrial complex that funds the NGOs, the lobbying groups, all of those people, the think tanks that proliferate in Washington, they are all intimately involved in all three of these crises. And they have all made sure in every case that they're pushed in the same direction. So Ukraine was being pushed towards NATO into an alliance with the United States against Russia in the Middle East. Israel was being encouraged to advance relentlessly within the Palestinian Territories and to forge separate peace agreements with Arab countries, which disregarded the interests of the Palestinians in the former British mandate territory of Palestine and in Taiwan. Now, there is apparently arms packages being prepared for Taiwan, which apparently are intended to completely reequip the Taiwanese army. Its ground forces to the tune of $10 billion. And I got that by the way, from the B, b, C. So we are seeing major funding and military buildups in all of these places. And of course, when lots of weapons are supplied into conflict zones where an area in crisis is flooded with weapons in this kind of way, war follows. Wilmer Leon (06:54): Let me read quickly, let's start with the Ukraine. And there's a piece in the Washington Post entitled Miscalculations Divisions marked Offensive Planning by US and Ukraine. They describe, the Washington Post describes the conflict as a stalemate, but when Secretary of Defense, Austin asked the Ukrainian defense Minister Resnikoff what was going on, this is what Resnikoff said. Ukraine's armored vehicles were being destroyed by Russian helicopters, drones, and artillery. With every attempt to advance without air support. The only option was to use artillery to shell Russian lines, dismount from the targeted vehicles and then proceed on foot. We can't maneuver because of the landmine density and tank ambushes. This is according to Resnikoff. And the Washington Post then says, as winter approaches and the frontline freezes into place, Ukraine's, most senior military officials acknowledge that the war has reached a stalemate. Alexander, that doesn't sound like a stalemate to me. That sounds like an ass whipping. Alexander Mercouris (08:15): Well, absolutely. It's not a stalemate. It is a disaster. In fact, that article in the Washington Post, which is enormous, it is in two parts. If you actually read it carefully. It's an attempt to defend US policy. It's attempt to throw all the blame on the Ukrainians or most of the blame on the Ukrainians for what went wrong in this summer offensive, which has taken place this year and for the coming debacle, which is now shaping in Ukraine. Now let's me just deal quickly first with the stalemate situation. It seems that the US Defense Minister Secretary Lloyd Austin has just recently had a meeting with Ukraine's overall military commander, general Valeri illusion in Kiev. Lloyd Austin was recently in Kiev and Lloyd Austin was told by illusionary that for Ukraine to win this war, it needs 17 million shells and 400 billion worth of equipment. This is all over the Ukrainian media. (09:32) Now UK apparently Austin was shocked. He said, there aren't 17 million shells in the world. We don't have that number of shells in the world to supply you. And in terms of the $400 billion, I understand that is twice the annual Pentagon budget. We're talking about the Pentagon budget for weapons procurement in any one year. These are impossible, impossible demands. Now, they are not the kind of demands that you would get from the general of an army who finds himself in a stalemate situation. What illusion is telling Austin is we are losing the war. We are losing the war at every point. We are outgunned, we've been been out fought, we are on the defensive. The Russians are advancing. There's lots of information coming from the battlefronts which are not being reported in the media in the West, but we can see that in all kinds of places. (10:42) In a marinca in the north, in the south, in the center of the Battlefronts, the Russians are now incrementally and remorselessly advancing and the Ukrainians are being smashed. There is no stalemate. And the story of a stalemate that is being conjured up is one which I don't believe anybody with any true knowledge of the situation in Washington beliefs, it has just been created in order to buy the administration some time so that they can come up with a political strategy and a financial strategy in Congress to try to escape responsibility for the disaster that they have authored. And if you read the Washington Post article, you'll see how their fingerprints are all over this disaster. Wilmer Leon (11:39): When I talked to Brian Tic, when I talked to Mark Sloboda, when I talked to Scott Ritter, they all say Russia hasn't even started the fight yet yet. And that if Russia decided to go all in full bore, it would be a massacre. And so getting back to the Washington Post piece and what Ulu is telling Lloyd Austin that he needs, again, they haven't even started fighting yet. Your thoughts? Alexander Mercouris (12:19): No, this is absolutely correct. What all of those gentlemen have told you is absolutely true. And you can see this when you actually look at the military units that are conducting most of the fighting at the moment on the Russian side. And it's a very remarkable fact, which again, no part of the western media or western governments ever acknowledge, but most of the fighting in Ukraine is not for the moment being conducted by the regular Russian line army. They haven't yet deployed their heavy divisions. They're tank divisions, they're armor divisions, they're heavy infantry. The people with the infantry fighting vehicles, they're Wilmer Leon (13:07): Air force, Alexander Mercouris (13:08): They're air force to any great extent, they're holding back their missiles. Most of the fighting, most of the forces that are currently advancing are a very interesting collection of forces. They're the Don Bass militia who have been retrained and re-equipped. And you are carrying out the biggest offensive, it's ongoing at the moment, which is successful by the way, in a fortified place called elsewhere. It tends to be paratroopers, light infantry, in other words, from the regular Russian military. But these are elite infantry, but there's not relative, many of them. It's chechen fighters, it's various volunteer groups. There are lots of volunteer groups now fighting alongside the Russians in Ukraine. The Russians so far are holding their main army back and it's growing in size. It's growing in size at the rate of 1600 men a day, and apparently around 450,000 have joined up in the Russian military just this year. And the Russian arms production is worrying and increasing all the time. So it's absolutely correct. They haven't actually properly speaking started yet. Wilmer Leon (14:31): And here's something that I don't hear anybody in the West really, and this is very, very fundamental. The United States with Ukraine as its proxy has engaged Russia in the very type of conflict that Russia has been preparing to fight for the last 20 years. And they're fighting it in Russia's backyard. And Scott Ritter, Scott Ritter was on this 0.2 years ago that NATO just doesn't have it. The United States just doesn't have it. I don't remember the number of artillery shells that Russia is sending out all day, all night, but a war of attrition and an artillery type of battle is exactly what Russia has been preparing to fight. So basically the United States stepped into the trap without enough equipment, without enough soldiers, without enough logistics. It was a fiasco from the outset. Alexander Mercouris (15:47): Absolutely. Now, this is where I'm going to come back to that Washington Post article because it's actually extremely interesting because what you can see if you read that Washington Post article carefully, is that the people who really wanted this offensive that we've just been through in the summer were the Americans, the Ukrainian general, the same Ukrainian general that I mentioned before. Valeri, illusionary told the Americans last year, look, this is what I need in order to carry out an offensive. And he pitched the number. He thought so high that the Americans would find it impossible to fair it, and apparently the Americans gasp, this is what this article said. But then they went ahead and provided it and they started training all these men and they went through all the various war games and simulations and all of these kinds of things. And you could see immediately that they were feeding into all of this, their own presumptions about the Russians. (16:49) They thought the Russians were chaotic, disorganized, corrupt, inefficient, incompetent. They didn't know what they were doing. They weren't properly led. Their army was a Potemkin army, as I've seen it called that their equipment was lousy. They weren't remotely up to the standard and quality of the United States. And you could see that some Ukrainian commanders would bear you exactly what the reality was, but they were being brushed aside and they didn't want to launch this offensive. And the Americans were pushing them to launch this offensive, and they did launch this offensive and they crashed into the reality of a Russian army, which exactly as you said was incredibly well prepared. And this is exactly what's happened, that it's been the case right through this entire conflict. The United States has completely underestimated Russia. That is the truth of it. They underestimated its technological and industrial capacities which were multiples greater than they imagined. They underestimated its political will. They underestimated the morale and resilience of its population and Russia's understanding of the existential nature of this conflict. And they grope tely underestimated the Russian military, which they don't really understand and which has been preparing for this war exactly as you said, for at least the last 20 years. Wilmer Leon (18:30): You mentioned morale, and we heard early on in the conflict people saying that the Russian people were turning on Putin and all of these kinds of things. And what seems to have been missed is the Russian people are behind his government a hundred percent. And their ire was not directed at the fact that he intervened in Ukraine. Their ire was directed at him for not doing this sooner and not going in more forcefully. There are many who I understand to be saying, why are you nickel and dimming this? Why don't you just go in, kick butt, take names and move on. But he has a different strategy and his generals have a different strategy in terms of their response. Is that accurate? Alexander Mercouris (19:29): That's absolutely correct. And this has been a longstanding thing, and I've been saying this for years, and all of the people that you've been mentioning at that, Brian Tic, mark Vota, Scott Ritter, would tell you exactly the same thing. But then of course we spend time talking to Russians, not just the kind of Russians, Westerners, talk to other Russians, the kind of Russians that you will find in the streets, the people who drive you, the taxes, who you meet in hotels, those sorts of people. And the important thing to understand about Russia is this is an extremely educated society. This is a very educated society indeed. And it's a politically very educated society. Also, it has to be because Russia's history has been such over the last hundred plus years where you cannot not be educated or well-informed about political and geostrategic matters, and you've had constantly people telling you why is Putin pulley his punches? (20:33) Why does he continue to give to the West so much? Why does he call them partners all the time? Why is he constantly looking to make compromises with them? These people are profoundly hostile to us. They want to break up our country. When we opened up to them in the 1980s, they came here and they basically seized everything that they could and they triggered the biggest economic recession we've ever suffered in our history since the Russian Revolution in 1917. And why is Putin playing it so careful and so slow? And the answer was that he understood as his military people did, that his economic people did, that you can't just rush into a confrontation with the West. You have to prepare for it. You have to prepare for it financially, economically, industrially, technologically, militarily and above and diplomatically as well. And he moved to its step by step and well, here we are, Wilmer Leon (21:43): In fact, I'm glad you mentioned diplomatically because what gets missed, again through lack of context in reporting from the Western media is Putin is playing to the world. What we see now is he, whereas Joe Biden told us he was going to turn the rubble into rubble and he was going to bring about regime change in Russia and he was going to make Russia a pariah and all of that kind of stuff. When you look at President Xi, when you look at President Putin, when you look at President Raisi, when you look at Maduro in Venezuela, these guys are now on the international stage as statesmen, and it's Joe Biden who is looking and as well as Netanyahu as the odd men out. Alexander Mercouris (22:35): This is absolutely correct. Now, this is by the way, something which the Russians themselves are not used to at all. For most of the 20th century, they've been accustomed to a reality where the United States and the West essentially represented the world, and Russia itself felt itself a fortress, an encircled fortress. And this is very much if you spent time in Russia, this is still very much the instinct that a lot of Russians have, which explains why, by the way, they weren't say, we've got to wait and see, try and argue things with the Chinese, explain things to the Indians, make deals with the Venezuelans and all the others. They didn't really see it in those terms. Of course, Putin did, and this is where he's completely different from any other Russian leader that has come before because Putin understood that there are fundamental changes in the world that provided Russia behaved with self-control and discipline far from being isolated globally. It would be supported globally because most of the world could see what was really going on, and it would be the United States that would be isolated globally instead. And that is exactly what has happened, and that is something new. And the Russians themselves, I'm talking about the Russian people are astonished by it. And from everything I'm hearing rather exhilarated intoxicated by it, they did not expect things to turn out this way. Wilmer Leon (24:25): And of course, you cannot in this conversation really have this conversation with also talking about the power of Sergei Lavrov, the foreign minister Wang y in China. Those foreign ministers, again, unlike Secretary of State Blanken, they're true statesmen. They are men that have a much broader understanding of context. They have a much broader understanding of diplomacy. They have a much broader understanding of history, and they bring a whole, well, basically Blinken is playing checkers while these guys are playing three dimensional chess. Let me quickly, let's move because we could spend hours on this part of the conversation. The broader, let's connect the dots between what's happening with this Ukraine, Russian conflict and the broader context of Europe. Because there are reports now for example, that the Bavarian mayor, Marcus Soder, the prime minister in Bavaria, is saying that the increased energy costs, and there are a number of factors now that this whole conflict is having on Europe. The United States blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, cutting off cheap natural gas to Germany is having an incredible industrial impact. I think Goodyear and Michelin are closing tire plants in Germany because manufacturing costs are too high. This has become an incredibly treacherous, has had a treacherous economic impact on European countries. You're in London, you know this better than I do. Alexander Mercouris (26:25): Oh, absolutely. Now the great success, the great achievement of the United States in the post Cold War period has been the Americanization of Europe's political elite. And it has been an astonishing thing to see, explain Wilmer Leon (26:39): What that means. Alexander Mercouris (26:40): Well, what has happened, and this is not easy to explain exactly how it's happened, and I suspect that there's a lot of this story that we don't quite know, but over the last 30 plus years, Europe, which had its own, each country in Europe had its own political leaders, its own politics, its own history of diplomacy. Remember modern diplomacy as we understand it today, the kind of diplomacy that Avro and Wangee and John Shankar of India and other countries conduct. The rules of that game were created in Europe, and they were being practiced in Europe until very recently, until well within our lifetimes, if I can say. So, all of that somehow seems to have ended. And what happened was that at some point, the Europeans, the European leadership class, its political class, came to identify itself very much with what's called the Euro-Atlantic Project. (27:49) The rules-based international order. You can use all kinds of terms with it, but they came to see themselves as part of a single team with the leadership of that team in Washington. So that instead of practicing traditional diplomacy as it used to be, and instead of focusing on their own national interests, they began to see themselves as part of a team with the United States and focused on the successful failure of that team, that collective team. I believe it was the Chinese who were the first to come up with the expression, the collective west. But that is essentially what you've got, what you've got now, you've got this collective west, which works to an extent, which you didn't even do during the Cold War as a block. And that means that Europeans have been willing, European leaders have been willing to an extent that would once upon a time have been considered inconceivable to sacrifice European vital economic interests. So Germany of all countries, for example, should have known that because of the historic connections between Ukraine and Russia and because of Russian concerns about the security of their western borders and because of the affinities between Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine was a place where the west tread carefully, but they didn't. They went full on board for the entire project, bring Ukraine into nato, pushed the Russians out. (29:40) When that became clear that it was going to result in a war, they went full out for the sanctions. No disagreement, no discussion allowed. To this day, it's very difficult to conduct a coherent discussion about this in Germany, same in France, same in Italy, same all across Europe, same to an even greater extent in Britain. And the result has been the economic catastrophe that you're talking about. Germany cut off from its natural economic hinterland, which by the way is Russia. The energy relationship which had been developing during the Cold War now destroyed the economic linkages, the industrial linkages destroyed as well. And the Germans are finding that their country now is deemed industrializing. And I can say this actually with confidence, because we were the first people on the Duran to say this. We said this on the very day when Schultz announced that he was going to suspend the operation of Nord Stream two. We said then that it was going to happen, but you could see how it has been working out ever since then. And it was completely predictable and completely understandable. And any political leadership which had German interests first and foremost at heart would've seen it. Wilmer Leon (31:13): And I think it's also important to understand that the de-industrialization of Europe, particularly the de-industrialization of Germany, was one of the objectives of this ridiculous mission in Ukraine, that this was a broader water intention to de-industrialized Germany and to sell Germany American liquified natural gas. Alexander Mercouris (31:44): Absolutely. But here again, you see how things have changed in a way because what the United States is now effectively doing is it's cannibalizing its own alliance. It is instead of supporting its allies, it is now predating upon them. Wilmer Leon (32:02): In fact, wait a minute, wait a minute. Because to that point, it's important for people to understand that when the US blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, the United States was attacking another NATO ally Germany. So under Article five, other NATO allies very well could have decided to come to the defense of Germany in the manner that they deemed fit. But of course, the United States is the head of nato. So that didn't happen. But it's just an important point I think for people to understand that the United States engaged in an act of war against a NATO ally. Alexander Mercouris (32:45): Absolutely. Of course, that is unequivocal. I mean, if you attack the vital energy infrastructure of a country and use explosives against it by any historic law of war, that is an act of war, no question. But this is what the United States increasingly has been doing, and you're quite right to say how they've pushed a very, very hard bargain on liquified natural gas. They're tempting European businesses to relocate to the United States. They're trying to exploit the de-industrialization of Germany, in other words, to their own advantage. But of course, this is the diametric opposite of what the United States once did in the 1950s and 1960s. The United States sought to build up European economies because he wanted a strong Europe strong allies so that he could withstand the Soviet Union and its allies. Now, when the United States itself feels diminished, its trying to supplement its own power by predating, by feeding on its allies. And yes, that will work for a time. It will make the United States stronger relatively than it might've been, but at the cost of weakening its overall alliance weakening the collective west, in other words. And in the long term, this is a bad policy as any policy that involves cannibalization ultimately is. Wilmer Leon (34:25): So let's switch gears now from talking about the conflict in Ukraine and its impacts on Europe to what's going on in the occupied territories in occupied Palestine. There was a piece again in the Washington Post who will run Gaza after the war. And the piece says, US searches for the best of bad options. And they're trying to figure out, of course, they want to totally get rid of Hamas. They're talking about could the Palestine authority be the solution? But the interesting thing is nobody seems to be talking to the Palestinians about who they want to run the area. And all of this conversation, in my opinion, is sheer evidence of what the grand plan has been from the very beginning, which is the Zionist government in Israel is a settler colonial state, and as a settler colonial state, you remove the indigenous people so that you can expand the space for your own. This is basically a humongous land grab on the Mediterranean Sea. Alexander Mercouris (35:50): Oh, absolutely. I mean, there are people in Israel who are making talking straightforwardly about this now to an extent that we've never seen before. Some of the language coming out of officials in Prime Minister Netanyahu's government is absolutely at that kind. And this is where I'm going to say what my own personal view about US policy throughout this crisis has been, or how it started, which is when the crisis began in October, there was unequivocally an Israeli plan to force the entire population of Gaza out of Gaza, relocate them in Sinai in each Egypt. Qatar was supposed to provide a tent city to house them there. And of course, once Gaza had had its population expelled, Israel would've quickly finished off Hamas occupied Gaza, Israeli settle settlers would've moved in, and then sooner or later they'd have finished off what is left of the West Bank where there's been increasing amounts of violence and aggression as well. (36:59) And there are even some people in the actual Israeli government, the cabinet who have been talking about rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem, resuming the rituals in the temple and that kind of thing. So that was the agenda. And the United States initially went along with it. Now, this is the thing that people don't understand, but that is exactly what happened. Blinken went along to the Middle East, he met with the Jordanians, the Egyptians, and he was trying to persuade them to agree to allow those people from Gaza to go into Sinai eye in the way that the Israelis wanted. And what then happened, and this is where we come back to the American propensity to underestimate opposition now and a failure to realize or recognize the extent to which the world has changed. What they found was that they came, they came up against a wall of opposition from the Arab states. (38:09) Egypt said, no, the Egyptian president, president, lsi, ridiculed, blink into his face and had it all televised and said, we got the video of it. Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown prince and prime minister of Saudi Arabia kept blinking waiting a whole night before he actually agreed to meet with him. The King of Georgia said, this is completely unacceptable and refused to meet President Biden. When President Biden also came to the Middle East, the Arab states close ranks. And they said, absolutely no. Under no circumstances will we agree to this thing. And they've been pushing back relentlessly. And you've had a whole series of telephone conversations between the president and Arab leaders. And increasingly now the president, president Biden is having to reassure the Arab leaders that there will be no displacement of the people from by Gaza, no relocations, no redrawing of the map of Gaza. (39:20) And instead, they're now coming to this new plan, which is a terrible plan, that we're going to set up some kind of neo-colonial administration in Kaza run by the Palestinians that we choose. This is plan B, because to be very clear plan A has been a complete failure. Now, I think that that is going to be intensely resisted. The Palestinian people, as you absolutely correctly say, are not being consulted about who is going to govern them. Trying to set up a political structure of this kind in Gaza is going to be a sort of further instability and tension. I don't personally think it's even going to happen. Actually, I think that the United States, Israel are finding the going in guards are much tougher than they imagined it would be. And I also think that the Arab states, as I said, the closing ranks, and of course behind the Arab states are the brick states. China and Russia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, of course are joining the bricks in January. Iran made up with Saudi Arabia and is also joining the bricks. The Iranians have just agreed a major arms deal with the Russians. The Iranian president is in Moscow, even as we speak and this broadcast, and we've just had confirmation from the Saudi government that in a few short time, we don't quite know when President Putin, Wilmer Leon (41:06): Putin is on his way to the Saudis. Alexander Mercouris (41:09): The Saudis. Wilmer Leon (41:11): Do Alexander Mercouris (41:12): You see how the pieces are all coming together Wilmer Leon (41:15): And connect the dots there because you mentioned the Saudis and the Iranians have found reproach mon and have come back together. That was due to the diplomacy of President Xi and the Chinese. We know the relationship between China and Russia, and now Putin is on his way to Saudi Arabia. There are a whole lot of dots that are being connected here, and it's not to the advantage of the United States. Alexander Mercouris (41:46): No, not at all. Now, I think the first thing to understand, and we have to say this base point, we're going to come to China in more detail in a moment, but the biggest single change that has happened in the world over the last 30 years is the emergence of China as an economic, political, and military superpower that is at least the equal in all of these things, economics, politics, military affairs, as the United States itself is. And that has completely changed the global geometry. It means that even during the Cold War when the Soviet Union was a significant alternative poll and rival to the United States, it could not match the United States at every spectrum of power China can. And that has changed the situation globally. And we see how it's playing out in the Middle East because as is so often the case in the Middle East, what the Chinese do, and they do this very intelligently, is that they set out their positions. (43:03) They've talked about the need, for example, for an international peace conference to be convened, to settle the situation in the Middle East. This longstanding conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis, they want, in other words, to take away control of Middle East diplomacy from the Americans, which is what the Chinese want to do. The Chinese, however, as they always do like to work in the background, they bring the Saudis and the Iranians together. They're working very closely with the Russians. They're letting the Russians supply the arms to Iran. They're letting the Russians do the oil deals with the Saudis, but ultimately it's China that is the key player behind the scenes. And it's such a contrast with the Americans who always wants to be seen doing something. So you have Blinken running around the Middle East as he has been, again, by the way, quite recently, they're incredibly active, going from one capital to another, having doors slammed in his face and giving fresh conferences and doing something. (44:20) But in fact, if actually look at who's really making the big moves, it's and the Chinese, but he's able to do it from Beijing because eventually he will go. Obviously Xi Jinping has been to Saudi Arabia. He was there recently. But it's an extraordinary study in contrast. And again, it comes back to the point that you were making before about the way that the Chinese do diplomacy, the Russians, all of these countries do diplomacy and the Americans don't. The Americans go, they come up with their plans, they come up with their ideas, they give their lectures, they tell people, this is how it must be done. Chinese, much more patient, much more careful, much more willing to let things play out and to take advantage of them as they play out as well. Wilmer Leon (45:16): Two things on Gaza before we move to China. One is the Hamas strategy. I believe that the Hama strategy is a much longer term strategy than the Americans give them credit for. I don't think that their strategy is to win militarily. I think that their longer term strategy is to win psychologically, to make the settlers, the Zionist settlers in Israel so uncomfortable with their reality because they've been sold this bill of goods by Netanyahu and others. We will protect you, we will defend you against those evil Arabs. And now all of a sudden that sense of security has been broken, and I don't know that they'll ever be able to regain it, especially with Hezbollah in the north waiting. You've got Syria in the waiting to take over the Golan Heights. This thing could become an incredible conflagration in the region, the likes of which neither Israel nor the United States can manage your thoughts on that point? Alexander Mercouris (46:41): Absolutely. Now, first of all, let's just say something about Hamas. I mean, a lot of people have been talking about Hamas and some of the things they say are true, but one of the things they consistently do is that they underestimate Hamas itself. It is a highly intelligent organization. It it's politically extremely sophisticated. This is something people consistently underestimate. And what you are describing, actually, the psychological nature of the struggle is that the classic struggle of a insurgency, a revolutionary, a national liberation movement, you can't win on the battlefield against an army. You win politically hearts and minds. Well, Dr. Kissinger, who's now hopefully in another more fiery place actually for it rather, well actually when he was talking about Vietnam, the insurgency, the revolutionary, the National Liberation Movement, all it has to do in order to win is survive. If it survives, it wins. (48:03) And this is absolutely true of Hamas. The Americans have gradually come to understand this. I think the Israelis still are chasing this mirage that they can destroy Hamas completely. What they're actually doing is that they're making it stronger because Hamas is able now to say to the Palestinians, look, we are the resistance. We are the people who are fighting. So for every Hamas official, you kill 10 will come and take their place, which is what, as I said, movements like this do. Didn't we see this very same thing in Afghanistan? Afghanistan in Vietnam, inconceivable place? Absolutely. Hamas is perhaps the best organized resistance movement of this nature in the world at the moment. And everything that they've done, every step that they have taken has been consistent with that strategy. And by the way, I've been in contact with people in Israel and they all tell me the same thing. (49:12) And it goes exactly to what you said. People are afraid. Israelis are afraid. There has been, people are leaving Israel now because they are afraid. And if Hamas comes out of this intact, however bruised and bantered, it will be those people are going to remain afraid and they're get to become more afraid. And that, of course, is what this whole thing is for. Hamas has acted with calculation and intelligence. Israel and the Israeli government walked into a trap, which is fair for everyone to see. They walked into that trap, and the United States opened the gate for them to enable them to walk into it. And has now followed itself because of course, across the Middle East, there was this extraordinary comment that Lloyd Austin made just a few days ago, which he said that Israel is now facing strategic defeat. He's right. But of course, it's a strategic defeat, not just for Israel, but for the United States as well, because right across the Middle East, right across the world, the United States and Israel are seen as joined to the hip if the one loses, so does the other. Wilmer Leon (50:46): And in the interests that I mentioned such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria as it relates to the Golan, I didn't mention Iran, I didn't mention Yemen. There are a whole bunch of factions that will join this resistance. And I hadn't thought to ask you this, but this just comes to mind when we look at the conflict as it's existing right now. And those other factions that I've mentioned are still standing on the sideline that tells me they're standing on the sideline because contrary to Western reporting, Hamas is doing a much, much better job than the West wants to admit. And those other factions are standing on the sideline saying, this is not the time for us to get involved because this business is being handled by Hamas. Is that a fair assessment? Alexander Mercouris (51:49): Absolutely. I come back to this. I mean, Hamas doesn't need to defeat the Israeli army in Gaza. It knows that if you're trying to do that, it would destroy itself. And that's not what it's doing. What's doing is it's resisting. And so long as it is able to keep resisting, it is winning. Now, this is something again, people don't understand. Israel talks about conducting this operation for a year that already tells you how much resistance there is, and that resistance will grow because more Wilmer Leon (52:19): People enjoy. And that goes to Nala's statement a couple of weeks ago when he asked the question very clearly, how long do y'all want to do this? Because we're in it till the end. And he said, said, I don't think you all have the stomach for what you're about to get into. Alexander Mercouris (52:42): Well, that is absolutely correct. And of course, Israel, it's a small country. Its economy is now coming under increasing strain. Casualties are growing. There is going to be increasing problems within Israel itself the longer this goes on. And that isn't even to consider the bigger political diplomatic backlash that there is going to be if there is a year of war. So you could see that this is playing out in exactly the way that Hermas wanted, and it was predictable. It was entirely predictable. They're going to just talk about the general picture, the Hezbollah and all the rest, because I actually, now, this is my own view, and I've consistently taken the view view that these huge American military deployments to the Middle East, two aircraft carriers, one in the Persian Gulf and a higher class submarine equipped with 150 tornado, not tornado missiles, aircraft, all of these things. (53:42) I am absolutely certain that what was the original plan back in October was to use the conflict in Gaza as an excuse to launch that long desired strike at Iran. Again, some people in America believe Iran is a much weaker, more fragile state than it actually is, and strike it, Toran and perhaps a strike it. Hezbollah. Look where the two carriers are. One is in the Eastern Mediterranean position to strike it. Hezbollah, the other is in the Persian Gulf, perfectly located to launch the strike at Iran. Again, what became obvious over the course of October, November was that the Arab and Muslim states were united in their complete opposition to this. So once again, that opposition has prevented that strike happening. And if we talk about Hezbollah and about Nasrallah, people continuously ask, why aren't they attacking Israel in a more sustained way than they are at the moment? (55:03) Why aren't the Houthis? Why isn't Iran unleashing all its forces? The thing to understand is that that is exactly what those people who back in October in Washington decided to deploy all those huge forces to the Middle East, wanted the Israelis, sorry, the Iranians and Hezbollah and all of these places, people to do so. What has happened is that all these forces have now been moved to the Middle East. Hezbollah is still there. It's still very strong. The Houthis are still there. They're still very strong. They're able to carry out all these pinprick attacks on American basis and on American shipping. These vast fleets are located there, but because of the strength of regional opposition, they can't actually move. They're beginning to look rather eff effectual. And going back to that article by Gideon Rackman that I was talking about the start of this program, he said that there are American officials who are now stressing about the fact that two carrier task forces and large numbers of destroyers and other warships are floating around the Middle East doing nothing of any practical value and are pinned down there even as the situation in the Asia Pacific region where these warships are needed. (56:34) If you want the conflict with China, even as the situation of the Asia Pacific region is continuing to shift in China's favor, and it's there, it's actually written out in black and white in Gideon Rahman's article, and he said all of this after speaking to US officials, so you could see yet again how a diplomatic and political strategy of playing a long game, which is what Putin did in Ukraine as we discussed earlier, how that works to your advantage, rushing in attacking Israel in this case, launching strikes against American positions, starting a regional war right away would've played into the hands of the hardliners in Washington and in Israel. Taking time on the contrary slowly shifts the balance in your favor, Wilmer Leon (57:34): And you mentioned time in what's important I think for Americans to understand is whether you're talking about Russia, whether you're talking about Arab states, whether you're talking about China, they have a different concept of time because their cultures are much older than the United States has been in existence. We're talking thousands of years of history that they understand, hence the adage, you have the watches, but we have the time. And President Putin, when Biden announced that the Gerald Ford aircraft carrier group was on its way to the Mediterranean, Putin said, why are you doing that? He said, you're not scaring anybody. These people don't scare. So let's move because we have just a few minutes left. Let's move to the discussion of China because I'm trying to figure out who in Taiwan hasn't been paying attention to what's happened in Ukraine and why would the Taiwanese government want to become Ukraine part two? Alexander Mercouris (58:47): Right. Well, I think the first thing to understand is that there are elections in Taiwan, and there've been elections in Ukraine and both in Ukraine. There were lots and lots of people who were very worried about the situation and didn't really want to see a certain political leadership aligned with the West take power. And I'm sure the same is true in Taiwan. We must be much more skeptical. I mean, I'm sorry to say this, but it's a fact about the outcome of elections. Elections in these kind of countries don't necessarily reflect the feelings and ideas and thoughts and motives and intentions of the people in these countries. They are much more attuned to what people in Washington want to see the outcome that people in Washington want to see. If we're talking about Taiwan, I'm not saying that the elections there are be straightforwardly rigged, but you're going to have the media in Taiwan promoting a certain view. You're going to see splits within the opposition parties, and that apparently has happened. You're going to see all kinds of problems like that start to build up. And of course, that opens the way for a party like the one that we're seeing in Taiwan win the Wilmer Leon (01:00:03): Election. We're now seeing opposition parties in Taiwan being investigated, lawsuits being filed against them as they are trying to coalesce in order to go against Drawn a blank on her name, the current prime minister, president of Taiwan, but Joe Biden met with President Xi in San Francisco, and during the press conference, president Biden talks about, oh, we had a great conversation and blah, blah, and then he turns around and calls GA dictator. This makes absolute, why do you want to try to pick a fight with China in China's front yard? I was saying that Ukraine is Russia's backyard, Taiwan and the South China Sea, that's China's front yard and just like Russia, China, hypersonic missiles, those aircraft carriers groups that the United States wants to send to the region, those are nothing but targets. Alexander Mercouris (01:01:12): Absolutely. This is entirely correct. I mean, it is at fundamental levels irrational. I think this is something we need to say. I mean, American policy in Ukraine is misconceived. American policy in the Middle East is misconceived also, but American policy towards China, towards Taiwan Wilmer Leon (01:01:31): Is Alexander Mercouris (01:01:32): Insane's insane. It's completely rational. Unfortunately, there also seems to be an enormous bipartisan support for it. Now, I'm just going to just, if I may just speak briefly about the San Francisco Sam, because the Chinese were very reluctant to go, Xi Jinping didn't want to go. Xi Jinping had basically lost all trust and confidence in Biden at the start of this year over the balloon incident. The relationship between the two was rocky. We have a Chinese readout from one of their earlier meetings in which Xi Jinping all but called Biden a liar to his face. That readout really ought to be better known than it is, but eventually the Americans persuaded si shing to come. So why did he do it? I think it's extremely straightforward. The Chinese use the San Francisco Summit as a device to demonstrate their power. They got the Americans to agree to all of the conditions they set for the summit meeting. (01:02:44) They wanted the streets of San Francisco cleaned up. They wanted people to come up with the red flags, not protestors. And of course, straight after the meeting with Biden, which achieved nothing, by the way, that's an important thing to say. And nothing of substance was agreed over the course of it straight after. What does Xi Jinping do? He goes to a hotel in San Francisco and all the leaders of the American business community there, Tim Cook of Apple, Elon Musk, all of them, they're all there, bill Gates, and they give Si Jinping a standing ovation Wilmer Leon (01:03:22): Because they're doing business in China. Your iPhone, the batteries for your Tesla, they're doing business with China. Alexander Mercouris (01:03:33): China, exactly. And that was what the Chinese, in their subtle way were wanting to demonstrate. They were trying to show to the Americans, to the American political leadership, to the people in Washington. Look, we are far more strong, far more powerful than you seem to understand even in your own country. When our leader comes, he's able to change the landscape around him, and that was what the Chinese were trying to do. I have to say this. I think that there is this very sane demonstration of power that the Chinese made in San Francisco is going to inflame some people in Washington even more for them. The very concept of a country that is equal and equivalent to the United States in power and which is exceeding the United States in some form of power is against nature. It is so abhorrent that they have to find some way of reversing it. (01:04:55) They've tried to reverse it by imposing economic blockades and technology blockades on China. The Chinese are finding work rounds in terms of the economic pressures. They've demonstrated their economic prowess by developing a super chip in just a few weeks, which the Americans thought it would take them 10 or 20 years to do. Unfortunately, what that means is that in this condition of anger and fear that the United States is losing, its supposedly ordained place that is going to make more people reach for the military auction, which is all that they realistically have. In other words, if you feel you're going down, you become more desperate, Wilmer Leon (01:05:46): Which they realistically don't have because Washington is about, what, 7,000 miles from Beijing? What makes the United States, just from a sheer logistical perspective, I understand the United States has bases all over the world. Japan, I got all that, but you're still basically fighting a 7,000 mile war in China's backyard. And it's not, if this breaks out, it's not just China. It's China and Russia, it's China and North Korea, it's Russia and North Korea. You can bring South Korea into the fight if you want to. I think North Korea will handle that. You can bring Japan into the conflict if you want to. I think North Korea, as I say on the street, we'll let North Korea handle the light work, and it makes absolutely no sense. Connect these three dots and we'll get out. Alexander Mercouris (01:06:51): Well, this is absolutely correct, but it comes back to this extraordinary degree of overconfidence that Americans have, which we've seen in Ukraine. I mean, this idea that this offensive that the Americans were planning in Ukraine last summer would succeed this utter underestimation of Russian military capabilities. Wilmer Leon (01:07:12): Wait, let me just quickly jump in, and I think you know this better than I do. When the United States engages in war game simulations against Russia, it loses when the United States engages in war game simulation against China. It loses every single time. Their systems are telling them. The systems are telling the Pentagon you can't win the fight. Alexander Mercouris (01:07:48): Absolutely true, but they ignore those stipulations. That's the trouble, because this is exactly, Wilmer Leon (01:07:55): Don't confuse me with the facts. Please confuse me with the facts. Alexander Mercouris (01:08:00): This is exactly what happened with the Ukrainian offensive, the Washington Post article goes all kinds of detail because of course, they then change the war games. They factor in all kinds of assumptions that they make about the other side, and that enables them eventually to come out with the answer that they will win, and they do this send of the Chinese, I've been reading article after article in the American media, now the American military media, which is a strange place by the way, but about how actually the Chinese militaries of paper tiger, the Chinese weapons systems don't really work. The Chinese soldiers are inexperienced. They've never really known war until now that Chinese generals are incompetent and corrupt. So all we have to do is just go in and fight them, and we will show to the Chinese what's what, and we will win. And that's exactly what they did in Ukraine this year, and that's what they think they're going to do with China. (01:09:07) Now, anybody with any knowledge of Chinese history, including Chinese military history, we'll know what an absurd view that is. And of course, the last time, in fact, the only time the United States has actually fought China, which is in Korea, the outcome was very different. The United States managed to escape disaster by the skin of its teeth, but don't let facts get in the way of all kinds of confident assumptions. And as for history, well Americans just don't do that to my, at least political leaders don't do that. No. If you go around in Washington today and say to them, well, what lessons do you think the United States should take from the Korean War and from frightening the Chinese? And by the way, the North Koreans there, well, most of them don't even know about it. So I mean, that's the fundamental problem. Wilmer Leon (01:10:08): Americans need to read Sun Zu, the Art of War if they want to play the Chinese cheap, because a lot of those strategies are still applicable and making an incredible amount of sense. Alexander Mercurius from the Duran, thank you so much for joining me today. I greatly, greatly appreciate it. Alexander Mercouris (01:10:30): My great pleasure.

Ahiret Endişesi ve Kuru Ekmeğini Zeytinyağına Bandırmakla Yetinen Devlet Başkanı *Dünyada kendini hep emniyet içinde gören insanlar, ahiret emniyetini burada kullanıyorlar demektir. Niye bunu böyle dedin? Ben demiyorum; kudsî hadis diye rivayet edilen mübarek beyanda, Allah (celle celaluhu) şöyle buyuruyor: لاَ أَجْمَعُ عَلَى عَبْدِي خَوْفَيْنِ وَ أَمْنَيْنِ “Kuluma iki emniyeti birden vermem, iki korkuyu da birden vermem.” Burada emin, güven içinde, rahat, bir eli balda bir eli kaymakta, saraylarda, villalarda, yalılarda, yatlarda, tenezzühlerde, gezilerde, yazlıklarda, kışlıklarda ve “Gözün üstünde kaşın var!” dedirtmemede olanlar emniyeti dünyada yiyip bitiriyorlar demektir. *Ömer b. Abdülaziz, çok defa şu âyeti okuyup kendinden geçerdi: أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَاتِكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهَا “Bütün zevklerinizi dünya hayatınızda kullanıp tükettiniz, onlarla sefa sürdünüz.” (Ahkâf, 46/20) Siz dünya hayatında, bütün yaptığınız iyiliklerin karşılığını gördünüz, mükâfatınızı aldınız, sanki dünya için gelmiş gibi her şeyinizi dünyada yiyip bitirdiniz ve ahirete bir şey bırakmadınız. *Ömer b. Abdülaziz, Hazreti Ebubekir efendimize çok benzer; zühdü, takvası, idari kabiliyeti ve adaletinden dolayı onu beşinci halife olarak sayarlar. Onun döneminde hazineler öyle dolup taşıyor ki, hazinedarlar gelip diyorlar: “Efendimiz, hazine çok fazla veriyor, yığıldı kaldı burada; ne yapacağız?” Diyor ki: “Bütün fukaraya dağıtın.” Dağıtıyorlar. “Dağıttık, insanların hepsi nisaba mâlik oldu, zekât verecek hale geldiler. Şimdi ne yapalım?” sorusuna karşılık Halife “Rüştünü idrak etmiş insanları evlendirin!” diyor. Devlet, böyle bir devlet; Emevî'de devletin zirveleştiği dönem. Servet öyle; bal da akıyor kaymak da. Fakat Hazret'i yakından tanıyanlar diyorlar ki: “Sabah kahvaltı ve öğlen yemek olduğunda tabağın içinde bir parça zeytinyağı ve bir de kuru ekmek; ekmeğini yağa batırıp ağzına götürüyor.” O büyük insan, “Ben ne yaparım, ‘Allah'ın size ihsan ettiği iyilik ve güzellikleri dünya hayatında yiyip bitirdiniz!' denirse?” mülahazasıyla zühde bağlı yaşıyor. Musibetler Karşısında Kaza ve Kadere Rızasızlık Hissinin Başına Balyoz İndirmeli!.. *Evet, dünya dar-ı imtihan ve hizmettir, dar-ı ücret ve mükâfat değildir. Şayet, duygunuz, düşünceniz, mefkûreniz, gaye-i hayaliniz ve kendinizi bağladığınız idealiniz itibarıyla bazılarınız dedikodu sıkıntısına maruz kalıyorsanız, bazılarınızın adı bazı şeylere karışıyorsa, bazılarınızın haklarında kırmızı bülten çıkarılıyorsa, gönül koymamanız ve darılmamanız lazım. Bu türlü şeylere maruz kalınca, her defasında رَضِينَا بِاللهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا “Rab olarak Allah'tan, din olarak İslâm'dan, rasûl olarak da Hazreti Muhammed'den (sallallâhu aleyhi ve sellem) razı olduk.” sözüyle içimize şöyle böyle gölgesi düşmüş rızasızlık hissinin başına bir balyoz indirmeli, kendi sesimizi kesmeli, iç dürtüleri bununla susturmalı ve iç konuşmaların ağzına fermuar vurmalıyız.

Darkness Radio presents Breaking Down The Dead Files with Paranormal Investigator/Psychic/Medium, Cindy Kaza! Cindy is best known for her work on Travel Channel's The Dead Files, The Holzer Files and Ghosts of Devil's Perch. Cindy has been extremely intuitive since very early childhood. At the age of 10 she had her first memorable experience with a spirit. Days after losing a childhood friend in a fatal car accident, Cindy woke up in the middle of the night to see her friend standing next to her bed. At the time, she dismissed this experience and convinced herself it was just a dream. It wasn't until her early 20's that she realized she was having psychic and mediumistic experiences all along. During this “awakening” she began searching for answers and reasons for her experiences and became aware of her multi-faceted abilities as a psychic medium. She began training not only in the United States but also at the Arthur Findlay School of Intuitive Sciences in Stansted, England. She believes in compassionately sharing her gift with others while also opening up others to the gifts they too possess and that everyone is inherently intuitive and able to feel Spirit!

On December 29, 1972, Flight 401 was en route to Miami International Airport but due to a malfunctioning landing gear light and other distractions, plowed into the swampland, making the incident the second deadliest single aircraft disaster in United States history. Not long after the accident, weird stories began to circulate amongst the airline community of ghostly encounters with the dead crew of Flight 401. Curiously, the undamaged parts from the crashed plane were recycled into other Eastern L-1011 Tristar jets that seemed to produce the largest concentrations of hauntings and sightings of the dead crewmen.
