This week on Father Hoods, the crew brings ESPN Radio/MSG Network's own Alan Hahn into the cypher to chop it up about Dad life, hoops, and everything in between. Alan sets it off with some behind-the-scenes stories, then opens up about managing a family of four (and possibly 5… tune in for the scoop) with his wife, who makes sure he's not missing a beat. From that first unforgettable moment holding their newborns to the gut check of dropping kids off at college, Alan and Manny swap stories that hit every father in the feels. They talk trust, independence, and the real fear of watching your kids step into a crazy world that doesn't always play fair. Alan drops gems for raising little ones, especially why screen time can't run the house, and delivers a heartfelt answer to Manny's time-travel question, something you won't want to miss. And because you know we couldn't let him leave without it, Alan closes out with his Knicks expectations for the season. Fatherhood, Hip Hop energy, and Knicks talk? It's all here!

Send us a textConnect with me on https://www.bookclues.comHave you ever wondered about the real-life inspiration behind shows like "The Americans"? Shaun Walker pulls back the curtain on one of history's most audacious espionage operations in this riveting conversation about his meticulously researched book, "The Illegals: Russia's Most Audacious Spies and Their Century-Long Mission to Infiltrate the West."Walker reveals the extraordinary world of Russian "illegals" – spies who spend years, sometimes decades, living under completely fabricated foreign identities with absolutely no official connection to Moscow. Unlike traditional diplomatic spies, these deep-cover agents immerse themselves so thoroughly in their adopted countries that even their spouses and children may have no idea of their true identities. The training process alone is mind-boggling – five years of intensive preparation where recruits study everything from a country's school textbooks to its cultural nuances.The origins of this program stretch back to the Bolshevik revolutionary movement itself, when Lenin's underground party used false documents and code names to evade Tsarist authorities. After the 1917 revolution, these same techniques were repurposed for intelligence gathering, creating a tradition that continues to this day under Vladimir Putin – himself a former KGB officer who once worked in illegals recruitment.Most surprising is the program's continued relevance in our digital age. Despite biometric passports and advanced verification systems, Russia continues deploying illegals alongside newer tactics like social media manipulation. Walker's nine years of research, including access to the remarkable Mitrokhin Archive of smuggled KGB documents, provides unprecedented insight into this shadowy world where truth is stranger – and often more fascinating – than fiction.
Back-to-back throwback energy on Father Hoods, and this time the crew is joined by the legendary Edo. G! The episode kicks off with DJ EFN shining light on Operation Underground Railroad, an org dedicated to rescuing victims of sex trafficking. From there, Ed takes us inside the story behind his iconic album “Be A Father To Your Child”—written before he was even a dad—explaining how it was a message to men about stepping up and doing right by their kids. Now that he's a father himself, he reflects on how his journey has reshaped the way he connects to that music. The conversation dives deep into Ed's family dynamics, from navigating life as a stepdad to raising his own kids. He shares his thoughts on today's music scene, breaks down his documentary “I Gotta Have It,” and opens up about growing up fatherless while being heavily influenced by his mother's love for music. The crew also gets real about the pandemic, parenting talks, disciplining kids, and the hurdles of raising teenagers. With raw stories, timeless perspective, and gems for every parent, this episode is packed with lessons that hit across generations!

“I am staying.” – Jack Barsky Three words on a dirt road. Three words that ended one life & cemented another. Three words that turned a mission into a calling. Because by the time Moscow ordered this KGB agent home, Jack wasn't just a spy with a cover story. He was a college valedictorian, a successful corporate executive, a father raising a little girl who'd stolen his heart. Piece by piece, he had built a life in America. Not perfect. Not easy. But real. A life that didn't come from forged documents or coded radio signals. One built like any other—by late nights, failed ventures, second chances, & love discovered. So, when the KGB told him to run, he stayed. He chose the life he'd built over the life he'd been assigned. And that's the real story here. Jack's tales of espionage may make headlines, but it's the everyday work of building something that lasts — a business, a family, a future — that defines his legacy. And it's exactly what defines yours. To stay—to keep building, to redefine yourself again & again—that's what sets you apart as an individual & an entrepreneur. Ready for more? Connect with him at JackBarsky.com. Jack proves what C.S. Lewis said best: “Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.”
The incredible tale of Oleg Lyalin, a KGB officer based in London in the 1970s who turned defector for rather untraditional reasons
[AUTOPROMOCJA] Pełnej wersji podcastu posłuchasz w aplikacji Onet Audio. W najnowszym sensacyjnym odcinku raportu międzynarodowego, gościem Witolda Jurasza i Zbigniewa Parafianowicza jest minister koordynator do spraw służb specjalnych Tomasz Siemoniak. Tutaj wkleimy o respiratorach. Jednym z tematów wywiadu była kwestia tak zwanej afery respiratorowej. W sprawie, przypomnijmy, chodziło o to, że zakup respiratorów powierzono Andrzejowi Izdebskiemu, który nigdy nie miał nic wspólnego ze sprzętem medycznym, za to zasłynął jako handlarz bronią. Był wielokrotnie podejrzewany o nielegalny obrót sprzętem wojskowym. Andrzej Izdebski nie tylko nigdy nie dostarczył respiratorów, ale też znikną z zaliczką, którą wiał na poczet zamówionego sprzętu medycznego. Wkrótce po ujawnieniu afery, niedoszły handlarz respiratorów zmarł w Albanii, a jego ciało zostało poddane kremacji. Ta oficjalna wersja wydarzeń do dziś budzi wiele wątpliwości. Czy Izdebski tak naprawdę nie żyje, czy też może zniknął wraz z pieniędzmi. Prowadzący podcast Witold Jurasz spytał ministra Siemoniaka o to, czy może potwierdzić ustalenia Onetu, że Andrzej Izdebski był współpracownikiem Polskich Wojskowych Służb Specjalnych. Przy czym, jako ów współpracownik dopuścił się bardzo poważnego oszustwa, jeszcze na długo przed tym, jak przy okazji respiratorów oszukał państwo polskie. Rzeczony handlarz został wskazany przez polskie służby specjalne jako wiarygodny partner dla Stanów Zjednoczonych, dla których miał kupić za amerykańskie pieniądze broń dla syryjskiej opozycji. Podobnie jak w przypadku respiratorów - broń nie została dostarczona, a pieniądze się rozpłynęły. Jeśli powyższe doniesienia okazałyby się prawdą, znaczyłoby to, że polskie służby, polecając Ministerstwu Zdrowia Andrzeja Izdebskiego, musiały doskonale zdawać sobie sprawę, że mają do czynienia ze złodziejem. Witold Jurasz pytał też, czy prawdą jest, iż w Agencji Wywiadu, która poleciła Izdebskiego, pracowali oficerowie służb wojskowych, przy czym działo się to w czasie, gdy służbom szefował były współpracownik zlikwidowanego już WSI. Rzeczona osoba swoje stanowisko objęła, co tylko dodaje całej sprawie pikanterii, w okresie rządów PiS. Pozostaje jeszcze jedno palące pytanie - czemu afera ta nie została rozliczona. W odpowiedzi minister koordynator służb specjalnych stwierdził, że powyższa sprawa jest przedmiotem doniesienia do prokuratury i jest jedną z kilku priorytetowych kwestii, o których Tomasz Siemoniak rozmawia z prokuratorem generalnym. Jak stwierdził gość podcastu, sprawa respiratorów dobrze opisuje schemat i niechlubne tradycje działania polskich służb specjalnych, w których dochodzi do pomieszczenia działalności służbowej i prywatnych interesów. Zapytany o to, czy może potwierdzić wszystkie wymienione przez Jurasza fakty, minister odparł, że nie może ich potwierdzić, ale nie może też im zaprzeczyć. Co obydwaj prowadzący podcast jednoznacznie odebrali jako potwierdzenie podanych wyżej informacji. Przedmiotem rozmowy jest też zatrzymanie polskiego zakonnika przez białoruskie KGB. Prowadzący podcast pytają, czy Polska planuje konsultacje, koordynację, a być może wręcz oddanie inicjatywy w tej sprawie Stolicy Apostolskiej. Prowadzący zadają też jednak ministrowi Siemoniakowi pytanie fundamentalne, czy Polska faktycznie werbuje księży lub zakonników. Tomasz Siemoniak jednoznacznie zaprzecza. Prowadzący podcast pytają też swojego gościa o zniknięcia kolejnych białoruskich opozycjonistów i zastanawiają się, czy Polska roztacza w dostatecznym stopniu opiekę nad przebywającymi u nas działaczy opozycyjnych. W dalszej części podcastu Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz pytają swojego gościa, czemu nasz kraj zgodził się na przekazanie do Rosji zatrzymanego w Polsce za szpiegostwo Pawła Rubcowa, nie uzyskując w zamian zwolnienia z rosyjskiego więzienia przebywającego tam po skazaniu za szpiegostwo Mariana Radzajewskiego czy też przebywającego w białoruskim więzieniu Andrzeja Poczobuta. Tomasz Siemoniak stwierdza, że Stany Zjednoczone w zamian za Rubcowa przekazały Polsce niezwykle cenne informacje. Przy okazji wątku współpracy ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi Zbigniew Parafianowicz zadał pytanie, czy prawdą jest, że Amerykanie w coraz większym stopniu ograniczają współpracę wywiadowczą z państwami europejskimi, w tym również Polską? Nie zabrakło również tematu aktów sabotażu dokonywanych przez rosyjską agenturę w Polsce. W tym kontekście wciąż aktualna pozostaje dyskusja, czy powinniśmy odpowiedzieć na te działania w ofensywny sposób. Witold Jurasz zadał Tomaszowi Siemoniakowi też pytanie o to, czy w służbach specjalnych jest właściwy balans pomiędzy konieczną i potrzebną kontynuacją kadrową, a wyczyszczeniem tych, którzy mają skłonność do nadmiernego wysługiwania się każdej kolejnej władzy. Zbigniew Parafianowicz postaci takie, wywodzące się z polskich służb specjalnych określa mianem piwotalnych członków. Zostaje też poruszona sprawa działalności polskich służb specjalnych za wschodnią granicą. Prowadzący podcast interesują się tym, czy fakt, iż Rosjanie i Białorusini nie są w stanie wyłapywać prawdziwych polskich oficerów wywiadu, tudzież współpracowników polskich służb specjalnych, świadczy doskonałej kondycji naszego wywiadu, czy też rzeczywistość jest zdecydowanie bardzie ponura – nie prowadzimy żadnej znaczącej aktywności za wschodnią granicą.
Nežádoucí osoba - tak Česko označilo běloruského diplomata, který byl napojený na KGB a musí tak ještě tento týden zemi opustit. Bezpečnostní informační služba jeho činnost odhalila skrze spolupráci se zpravodajskými službami z Rumunska a Maďarska, kdy společně sledovali běloruskou zpravodajskou síť, kterou se podařilo rozbít. Jak ale ve Výtahu Respektu říká Jaroslav Spurný, vyvstává otázka, s kým běloruský diplomat v Česku spolupracoval: „Mohl získávat informace třeba o běžné politice. Například o ministerstvu obrany a o tom, jak se opozice dívá na nákup stíhaček F-35, a jestli je možné tento obchod nějak překazit. Funguje to tak, že zjišťují, koho je možné oslovit i skrze sítě, popíchnou tak, aby akce, které by mohly ohrozit českou demokracii, byly úspěšné. Prozrazen ale doposud nikdo nebyl." Jak se BIS a další evropští zpravodajci k k běloruské síti dostali? Jak špioni v evropských zemích fungují? A pomohlo by omezení pohybu ruských a běloruských diplomatů v schengenském prostoru?
Comisia Electorală Centrală l-a sancționat pe primarul de Chișinău, Ion Ceban, care este și concurent electoral, după ce acesta a mers în Italia în calitate de primar în momentul în care campania electorală începuse deja oficial. Alexandru Bălan, fost adjunct al serviciilor secrete de la Chișinău, a fost reținut pe aeroportul din Timișoara. În dimineața zilei acesta a fost adus cu mascați pentru audieri la sediul central al DIICOT. Bălan este cercetat pentru trădare și acuzat că ar fi transmis informații secrete ale României către KGB-ul din Belarus. Invitatul Moldova Zoom de astăzi este Victor Ciobanu, analist politic de la Chișinău, cu care discutăm cum poate fi combătută dezinformarea rusească și care sunt șansele Republicii Moldova de a continua parcursul european după alegerile parlamentare de la sfârșitul acestei luni. Despre luxul cărții în limba română peste Prut ne povestește jurnalistul Euronews România, Vitalie Cojocari. Știrile zilei: Parlamentul European începe sesiunea de toamnă cu momente politice majore, începând cu discursul președintei Comisiei Europene, Ursula von der Leyen, despre starea Uniunii, și continuând cu dezbateri privind sprijinul pentru Ucraina, situația din Gaza și viitorul european al Republicii Moldova și un discurs ținut de președinta Maia Sandu, relatează Calea Europeană. Agenda de marți aduce în prim-plan războiul din Ucraina și relațiile cu Rusia. Dimineața, eurodeputații, împreună cu șefa politicii externe a Uniunii, Kaja Kallas, dezbat garanțiile de securitate și o pace justă pentru Ucraina, precum și calea țării către aderarea la UE. Un alt moment important al zilei va fi la prânz, când președinta Republicii Moldova, Maia Sandu, se va adresa Parlamentului European. Discursul are loc înaintea alegerilor parlamentare cruciale din R. Moldova din 28 septembrie, pe fondul avertismentelor potrivit cărora Kremlinul continuă să utilizeze o serie de tactici online și offline, inclusiv dezinformarea și schemele de cumpărare a voturilor, în încercarea de a deraia traiectoria proeuropeană actuală a țării. Europarlamentarii vor participa și la o dezbatere cu Consiliul și Comisia Europeană privind sprijinul pentru integrarea europeană a Republicii Moldova. Votul asupra rezoluției este prevăzut pentru miercuri. Un fost ofițer de rang înalt din cadrul Serviciului de Informații și Securitate al Republicii Moldova (SIS), Alexandru Bălan, a fost reținut pe aeroportul din Timișoara. În dimineața zilei acesta a fost adus la audieri la sediul central al DIICOT, Direcția de Investigare a Infracțiunilor de Criminalitate Organizată și Terorism din România. Bălan este cercetat pentru trădare și acuzat că ar fi transmis informații secrete ale României către KGB-ul din Belarus. Acesta venea la Timișoara la o conferință organizată de Universitate, urmând să vorbească despre provocările pe calea integrării europene a Republicii Moldova. „Nu e nimic nou în faptul că Rusia „se joacă” în zona noastră geografică”, așa a comentat cazul ministrul Apărării de la București, Ionuț Moșteanu. Misiunea de observare a alegerilor a asociației Promolex de la Chișinău a semnalat ceea ce a numit „piața neagră a sondajelor” în Republica Moldova înainte de alegerile parlamentare din 28 septembrie. Chiar dacă legislația reglementează clar condițiile în care pot fi realizate și publicate sondajele, una fiind înregistrarea acestora la Comisia Electorală Centrală, observatorii Promo-LEX au semnalat cel puțin 10 cazuri de realizare a unor așa-zise „sondaje” neautorizate. Printre acestea se numără și unele care vin din surse complet neidentificate și nu au date în ceea ce privește cheltuielile suportate. Până în acest moment Comisia Electorală a autorizat 13 sondaje, realizate de 8 entități. Promolex explică de ce sunt periculoase sondajele obscure care circulă pe internet: „Acestea nu doar măsoară opinia publică, ci și formează percepția cetățenilor, inclusiv prin promovarea unor narative și influențarea comportamentului alegătorilor”. Serviciul Vamal a finalizat migrarea integrală a sistemului său informațional la cea mai recentă platformă europeană pentru gestionarea regimului de tranzit. Instituția precizează că Republica Moldova se numără printre primele țări care implementează această versiune și este prima din regiune care finalizează o astfel de modernizare tehnică. „Noul sistem este nu doar un progres tehnologic, ci și un pas decisiv către integrarea Republicii Moldova în spațiul vamal european”, a declarat directorul Serviciului Vamal, Alexandru Iacub, citat într-un comunicat de presă al instituției. La Chișinău, se desfășoară, în perioada 10–21 septembrie, cea de-a X-a ediție a Reuniunii Teatrelor Naționale Românești, cel mai amplu festival al artelor scenice din Republica Moldova. Ediția din acest an va reuni opt teatre din România, dar și mai multe teatre din Republica Moldova. Pentru al patrulea an consecutiv participă și Teatrul Național „Ivan Franko” din Kyiv. În program sunt incluse spectacole radiofonice, surpriza festivalului fiind două spectacole realizate la Teatrul Național Radiofonic Radio București în parteneriat cu Teatrul Național „Mihai Eminescu” din Chișinău, cu participarea actorilor de pe ambele maluri ale Prutului.
September 10, 1986. It's just before 8am when Cliff Stoll's pager jolts him awake. A computer at Lawrence Berkeley Lab has flagged a problem: a tiny 75-cent accounting error. But when Stoll rushes to his office, he realizes this isn't about missing spare change. Someone has slipped into the lab's network, tunneling thousands of miles away into U.S. military computers. Cliff isn't a spycatcher. He's an astronomer. And yet, from this moment on, he'll spend months chasing a hacker who may be working for the KGB. How did spare change uncover a spy ring? And why did this case mark the end of innocence on the Internet? Special thanks to Cliff Stoll, astronomer, teacher, and author of The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage; and J.J. Widener, cybersecurity expert currently serving as Director of Cybersecurity Architecture at Kimberly-Clark.

En 1985, Mikhaïl Gorbatchev s'attèle à un chantier politique de taille en URSS, visant à mettre fin à la Guerre Froide. Mais au même moment, aux États-Unis, une longue série d'arrestations fortement médiatisées vient relancer les tensions entre les deux blocs. Au centre de ce scandale : des espions et traîtres capturés par le FBI, la CIA et leurs collègues. 1985 devient alors The Year of the Spy, l'année des espions. Mais qui étaient ces femmes et ces hommes, certains trop bavards, d'autres travaillant activement pour le compte de l'ennemi.
01:00:44 – RFK Jr. Torches Senate RFK Jr. clashes with senators, calling Maggie Hassan a liar and exposing CDC corruption. He slams pharma influence and cites data showing suppressed autism risks. 01:07:55 – Autism Cover-Up Exposed RFK Jr. details a 2002 CDC study showing black boys had a 260% higher autism risk with early MMR shots—data destroyed by officials to protect pharma. 01:11:10 – Cassidy Traps RFK Jr. Sen. Bill Cassidy forces RFK Jr. to endorse Trump's Operation Warp Speed, calling it Nobel-worthy. RFK caves, exposing his compromise with Trump's ego. 01:16:10 – Senators Bought by Pharma Discussion lists senators pocketing millions from vaccine makers: Warren, Sanders, Romney, Cassidy, and others. Both parties are shown as fully captured by pharma. 01:23:16 – Spike Protein = Bioweapon Listener analysis ties vaccine harms to spike protein's destruction of ACE2, fueling myocarditis, clotting, and turbo cancers. Critics call the jabs a Pentagon-DARPA bioweapon. 01:27:33 – Trump, Gates, and Zuckerberg Dinner Trump dines with Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg at the White House. Commentary frames it as proof Trump embraces technocrats pushing AI, depopulation, and new mRNA delivery systems. 01:51:24 – Tim Kaine: Rights From Government Sen. Tim Kaine claims rights come from government, not God—sparking outrage. Ted Cruz rebukes him with Jefferson's words, while critics tie Kaine's stance to Marxist liberation theology. 01:59:42 – Liberation Theology = KGB Ops Discussion traces Kaine's worldview to “liberation theology,” described as a KGB psyop to destabilize the West. Parallels are drawn to Pope Francis and modern Marxist infiltration in religion. 02:03:47 – DOJ Pushes Gun Ban for Transgender People DOJ considers labeling transgender individuals as mentally ill to strip gun rights. Critics warn it's a Trojan horse for red flag gun laws and Trump-style “due process later” policies. 02:07:47 – Trans Militancy & Socialist Rifle Association Zero Hedge report links trans shooters with the far-left Socialist Rifle Association, whose rainbow-AR-15 imagery echoes recent killings. Hosts warn conservatives are being baited into cheering gun control. 02:17:13 – Trump's Asylum Agenda Trump and Melania push reopening mental institutions and mandatory mental health screenings. Critics warn this echoes totalitarian regimes weaponizing psychiatry to silence dissent. 02:19:54 – John Rich vs. TVA Land Grab Country singer John Rich helps Tennessee locals fight the TVA's eminent domain scheme for a methane gas plant. After massive pushback, TVA cancels plans—framed as a rare grassroots victory against corporate-government overreach. 03:05:52 – Gold Soars on Weak Jobs Gerald Celente joins to discuss gold hitting $3,600 amid dismal job numbers. Weak labor markets signal looming rate cuts, sinking the dollar and driving investors to safe havens. 03:09:12 – Trump's Crypto Empire Exposed Discussion shifts to how Trump's family quietly moved massive wealth into Bitcoin and crypto mining. His stake is now larger than his global resorts, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. 03:12:54 – Dragflation & Debt Heart Attack Celente predicts “dragflation”—declining growth plus surging inflation—as debt tops $220 trillion. Ray Dalio's warning of a “debt-induced heart attack” within three years is echoed as inevitable. 03:14:42 – Gold Goes Digital The World Gold Council prepares to tokenize bullion for global trading. Analysts warn it could wipe out unstable cryptocurrencies and challenge U.S. dollar dominance. 03:26:02 – H-1B Scam & Cheap Labor Conversation turns to H-1B visas, tracing back to Bill Clinton and expanded under Trump and Biden. Both parties are accused of flooding the U.S. with cheap foreign labor to suppress wages. 03:36:02 – Venezuela Strike = Oil Grab Trump's shoot-first policy in Venezuela is blasted as a false “drug war” pretext to seize oil. Comparisons are drawn to Duterte's Philippines and past regime-change coups.

Ted Cruz rebukes him with Jefferson's words, while critics tie Kaine's stance to Marxist liberation theology. 01:59:42 – Liberation Theology = KGB Ops Discussion traces Kaine's worldview to “liberation theology,” described as a KGB psyop to destabilize the West. Parallels are drawn to Pope Francis and modern Marxist infiltration in religion. 02:03:47 – DOJ Pushes Gun Ban for Transgender People DOJ considers labeling transgender individuals as mentally ill to strip gun rights. Critics warn it's a Trojan horse for red flag gun laws and Trump-style “due process later” policies. 02:07:47 – Trans Militancy & Socialist Rifle Association Zero Hedge report links trans shooters with the far-left Socialist Rifle Association, whose rainbow-AR-15 imagery echoes recent killings. Hosts warn conservatives are being baited into cheering gun control. 02:17:13 – Trump's Asylum Agenda Trump and Melania push reopening mental institutions and mandatory mental health screenings. Critics warn this echoes totalitarian regimes weaponizing psychiatry to silence dissent. 02:19:54 – John Rich vs. TVA Land Grab Country singer John Rich helps Tennessee locals fight the TVA's eminent domain scheme for a methane gas plant. After massive pushback, TVA cancels plans—framed as a rare grassroots victory against corporate-government overreach. 03:05:52 – Gold Soars on Weak Jobs Gerald Celente joins to discuss gold hitting $3,600 amid dismal job numbers. Weak labor markets signal looming rate cuts, sinking the dollar and driving investors to safe havens. 03:09:12 – Trump's Crypto Empire Exposed Discussion shifts to how Trump's family quietly moved massive wealth into Bitcoin and crypto mining. His stake is now larger than his global resorts, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. 03:12:54 – Dragflation & Debt Heart Attack Celente predicts “dragflation”—declining growth plus surging inflation—as debt tops $220 trillion. Ray Dalio's warning of a “debt-induced heart attack” within three years is echoed as inevitable. 03:14:42 – Gold Goes Digital The World Gold Council prepares to tokenize bullion for global trading. Analysts warn it could wipe out unstable cryptocurrencies and challenge U.S. dollar dominance. 03:26:02 – H-1B Scam & Cheap Labor Conversation turns to H-1B visas, tracing back to Bill Clinton and expanded under Trump and Biden. Both parties are accused of flooding the U.S. with cheap foreign labor to suppress wages. 03:36:02 – Venezuela Strike = Oil Grab Trump's shoot-first policy in Venezuela is blasted as a false “drug war” pretext to seize oil. Comparisons are drawn to Duterte's Philippines and past regime-change coups.

Rozmówcą Konrada Mędrzeckiego jest Jan Włodzimierz Brewczyński – dziennikarz EWTN Polska, który dla portalu ewtn.pl przygotował artykuły na temat beatyfikacji i kanonizacji.Gość programu „Żebyś wiedział” mówi o wyjątkowych wydarzeniach w Kościele, które będą miały miejsce w najbliższy weekend. 6 września w Tallinie odbędzie się beatyfikacja abp Eduarda Profittlicha. Dzień później w Rzymie kanonizowani będą Carlo Acutis i Pier Giorgio Frassati. Niemiecki duszpasterz PolakówAbp. Eduard Profittlich jest jedną z dziesiątek tysięcy ofiar systemu komunistycznego i pierwszą osobą, której beatyfikacja odbędzie się w Estonii. Był ósmym z dziesięciorga potomstwa pary niemieckich rolników. 27 sierpnia 1922 otrzymał święcenia kapłańskie. Zgodził się wstąpić do misji katolickiej w Rosji, dlatego został wysłany na studia przygotowawcze do Krakowa, gdzie obronił doktorat z filozofii, a następnie z teologii. Z racji na dobrą znajomość języka polskiego, w grudniu 1930 został wysłany na probostwo do Tallina, ponieważ większość katolików mieszkających w Estonii stanowiła ludność polskiego pochodzenia. Na mocy paktu Ribbentrop-Mołotow Estonia znalazła się w radzieckiej strefie wpływów. Miał możliwość niewracania z Rzymu do Estonii, a także później powrotu do Niemiec. Pięć dni po ataku III Rzeszy na ZSRR został aresztowany. Informacje o śmierci i dowody świętości znamy z odtajnionych w latach dziewięćdziesiątych dokumentów NKWD i KGB.Młodzi święciPier Giorgio Frassati urodził się 1901 roku, a Carlo Acutis w 1991. Pier zmarł w wieku 24 lat, a Carlo w wieku 15 lat. Obaj ukochali kult eucharystyczny. Przystępowali do Komunii Świętej codziennie, co za czasów Piera było rzeczą nadzwyczajną i wymagało zgody duszpasterskiej oraz jego mamy. Obaj poświęcali czas na adorację i modlitwę różańcową. Pier miał problemy z nauką pisania po Włosku, a później z łaciną, a Carlo kochał łacinę. Milenials z podręczników dla studentów nauczył się także języków programowania. Obaj ewangelizowali zgodnie ze swoimi czasami. Pier działał we wspólnotach, współorganizował wycieczki górskie, a także angażował się politycznie w celu poprawy ludzkiego życia. Carlo stworzył wystawy poświęcone Cudom Eucharystycznym, świętym, a także zaczął wystawę o objawieniach Maryjnych. Lubił grać na konsoli tak bardzo, że z lęku przed uzależnieniem stwierdził, iż musi to ograniczyć do jednej godziny w tygodniu. Obaj pochodzili z zamożnych rodzin i byli wrażliwi na biednych, chorych i słabszych. Pier pomagając ubogim zaraził się wirusem Polio. Bagatelizował objawy choroby, aby nie martwić rodziny, która przeżywała śmierć jego babci. Carlo zmarł na białaczkę. Personel szpitala zapamiętał go jako osobę,która nie straciła poczucia humoru, a pytany o ból odpowiadał: „są osoby, które cierpią bardziej”.
Luis Juez en sesión afirmó: “Quiero con el corazón agradecerle a todos, sin distinción de bancada, de pensamiento, de ideología, en nombre, y los quiero mirar a los ojos, en nombre de mi hija Milagros, sus hermanos, mi señora, los cientos de miles de criaturas, inmensa cantidad de asistentes terapéuticos, rehabilitadores, transportistas, en nombre de ellos, muchísimas gracias, en nombre de mi familia, muchísimas gracias, en el mío propio. En serio, me callé la boca porque no podría haber expresado mejor de lo que lo hicieron algunos senadores, que la verdad que fue importante. Ellos se merecen esto que ustedes le han dado, visibilidad a un problema que históricamente pretende ser escondido. Así que, muchísimas gracias”.José Mayans senador nacional por formosa por el frente nacional y popular en sesión sostuvo: “Cuando vetó, no sabía lo que se venía. Primero vetó a los discapacitados en forma despiadada y dijo que esto arruinaba su equilibrio fiscal. ¿Y de dónde vamos a sacar la plata? Bueno, que deje de robar un poquito Karina y ya está. O si no, que baje su arancel. En vez del 3% con el 1.5% ya está. Que bajen el arancel Karina. Que bajen el arancel los hijos de puta que están ahí en el sistema financiero robando a dos manos”. En una entrevista el senador comentó: “Lo de la ministra de seguridad, un desquicio total. Yo creo que debería hacerlo en juicio político y destituirla a la ministra. Porque primero, por amenazas, abuso de poder, acusaciones infundadas a dos periodistas o a tres periodistas, tratando de amedrentarlos, pero es gravísimo el tema, porque les acusa de terroristas, aliados con el narcotraficante con los narcotraficantes después también la otra acusación es que son espías, que no son periodistas y aparte ligados con servicios de inteligencia de la KGB soviética, le faltó y el superagente 86, porque la verdad es que la barbaridad que dijo no tiene nombre".Martín Lousteau en sesión, afirmó: “La Suizo, que es la droguería involucrada, multiplicó por 31 veces sus ventas al Estado. 31 veces. ¿A qué Estado? A ese que Milei decía, este ministerio se va, este ministerio se va, este ministerio se va, este ministerio se va. Dice que achicó la estructura, pero la Suizo vende 31 veces más. La que está acusada de pagar las coimas”.

This week's throwback episode of Father Hoods takes it back to some classic moments! Kicking things off, Manny recalls the early days of launching FlyDad, receiving praise from KGB, and seeing EFN put the First Born bag to real use. He also shares the behind-the-scenes of prepping for his daughter's Quinceañera and how those father–daughter talks shape big decisions. The crew also dives into family life updates: EFN's daughter gets a bed upgrade, experiments with healthier habits, and laughs at the wild “crate challenge” that once took over the internet. With back-to-school in full swing, KGB's son adjusting and Manny having a celebratory breakfast with his wife, the episode feels like a true time capsule of fatherhood in motion!

En 1985, Mikhaïl Gorbatchev s'attèle à un chantier politique de taille en URSS, visant à mettre fin à la Guerre Froide. Mais au même moment, aux États-Unis, une longue série d'arrestations fortement médiatisées vient relancer les tensions entre les deux blocs. Au centre de ce scandale : des espions et traîtres capturés par le FBI, la CIA et leurs collègues. 1985 devient alors The Year of the Spy, l'année des espions. Mais qui étaient ces femmes et ces hommes, certains trop bavards, d'autres travaillant activement pour le compte de l'ennemi.Le 20 octobre 1985, les agents du FBI et de la NSA, la National Security Agency, chargée de la surveillance et du décryptage des communications ennemies, sont sur le point de découvrir le traître qui a compromis certaines de leurs opérations les plus précieuses de la Guerre Froide. Tout tient à la parole d'un homme, Vitali Yurchenko, ancien chef adjoint du Premier Département de la Première Direction Générale du KGB, ayant choisi de faire défection à l'Ouest.
The Father Hoods are back with another episode full of real talk, laughs, and those everyday Dad moments that hit home! Manny opens up about his eldest heading off to college, breaking down the financial side of loans, grants, and scholarships while reflecting on how her siblings are dealing with the big move. The Dads also touch on that universal parent instinct: going all out for your kids, even when they're capable of handling things on their own. From there, the convo flips to the bigger picture—how their kids' generation might look back at these pre-AI days like ancient history. With back-to-school season in full swing, KGB shares how his son eased into his first day with no issues, while EFN talks about the tantrum-filled struggles his little man faced in making the transition. And to cap things off, the crew finds humor in the less glamorous side of aging, trading stories about fading eyesight and the challenges that come with it.

“I became an American & said goodbye to them [the KGB].” – Jack Barsky Sounds like the opening line of a spy thriller. Except this one's real. For a decade, Jack lived undercover in the U.S. as a KGB agent. His mission wasn't excitement. No tuxedos. No martinis. Just the discipline to disappear — and never get caught. And he did it so well that he not only avoided capture — he built a whole new life. A college valedictorian. A corporate exec. A family man no one suspected. Until one day, the story broke on 60 Minutes. That's when Jack faced the choice every entrepreneur knows too well: – Start over. – Reinvent yourself. – Risk failing again & again. He wrote a book that flopped until he rewrote it from scratch. He gave speeches so bad he wanted to “jump in a lake”… and kept at it until Microsoft put him on stage. He built a business that went nowhere — and had the guts to kill it when no one showed up. Every failure became fuel. Every dead end, a redirection. This isn't just a peek into espionage. It's a raw look at resilience, reinvention, & the grit it takes to survive when the plan collapses. Winston Churchill said it best: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Connect with him on LinkedIn

He was a KGB colonel. A double agent. And the most valuable spy Britain ever had. Born into a world of secrets & silence in Moscow Oleg Gordievsky's journey takes us from the waning days of Stalin to his disillusionment with the Soviet system and his defection to MI6. He lived a secret life at the heart of Soviet intelligence — all while feeding classified information to London. From within the KGB's London station, he exposed espionage operations, influenced diplomacy at the highest level, and warned of dangerous Soviet paranoia at the height of nuclear tensions. When discovery loomed, Britain launched one of the most daring escapes in espionage history. This is the astonishing true story of betrayal, conscience, and survival in the darkest shadows of the Cold War.

In this episode of 'Inside Trump's Head', cohosts Joanna Coles and Trump biographer Michael Wolff unravel Trump's odd displays of loyalty to Putin and the secretive negotiations over Ukraine that alarmed U.S. allies.

From the bizarre secrecy surrounding their one-on-one sessions to the global risks of Trump's concessions, this is a revealing look at how the Trump–Putin relationship reshaped world politics and exposed the vulnerabilities inside Trump's head. And Wolff drops an extraordinary new revelation about a meeting Jeffrey Epstein had with Vladimir Putin. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Čtení s Respektem s Janem Horníkem z ÚSTR o jeho knize Západ musí být zničen, kde vysvětluje teorie Alexandera Dugina, a o tom, jak se odrážejí v krocích Vladimira Putina a představě euroasijské civilizace. Ptal se Štěpán Sedláček.Rusko pod vedením Vladimira Putina dlouhodobě usiluje o pozici respektovaného impéria, jemuž se vrátí přinejmenším část vlivu nad územím, které ovládal Sovětský svaz. Přímým důsledkem je destrukce, zabíjení a utrpení milionů lidí, které pokračuje na Ukrajině. Historických paralel, ideologií a politických teorií, o které může režim bývalého agenta KGB své plány opřít a nacházet v nich vyšší smysl a ospravedlnění, je víc. Patří k nim také dílo Alexandra Dugina a jeho myšlenka obnovy euroasijského impéria. Právě o Duginových - někdy vysmívaných, ale čím dál vlivnějších - představách a jejich nebezpečnosti mluvil Štěpán Sedláček s Janem Horníkem z Ústavu pro studium totalitních režimů, který je autorem knihy Západ musí být zničen: Putin naplňuje Duginovy mesianistické vize, kterou vydalo nakladatelství Argo. Na čem stojí Duginova čtvrtá politická teorie? Jakou roli připisuje jednotlivci a jak se vymezuje vůči liberalismu? Jak se aktuální geopolitická situace kolem ruské agrese na Ukrajině jeví z Duginova světonázoru. A jak se propisuje do politiky prezidenta Vladimira Putina? Nejen o tom uslyšíte v dalším Čtení s Respektem.

En Bolivie, la campagne électorale s'est achevée. Les élections générales, et notamment la présidentielle, auront lieu dimanche 17 août, à l'issue d'une campagne marquée par la crise économique. Reportage, à la Paz, de Nils Sabin. Avec une inflation à deux chiffres et une population confrontée à des pénuries de dollars et de carburant, les candidats à l'élection présidentielle en Bolivie seront certainement jugés sur leurs solutions. Pour la population, « le porte-monnaie ne suit plus », mais il existe aussi de lourdes pénuries, notamment de médicaments. Les sentiments populaires sont donc très négatifs à l'approche des élections. Pour Nils Sabin, qui a rencontré la population, de nombreux Boliviens souhaitent une rupture après plusieurs décennies de gouvernements de gauche. Bad Bunny met en avant la culture portoricaine avec son nouvel album En 2020, Bad Bunny est devenu le premier artiste non anglophone le plus écouté sur la plateforme Spotify, une notoriété qui met en lumière la musique hispanophone. Le dernier album de l'artiste est un hommage à sa terre natale et à la culture portoricaine, face à une américanisation croissante du pays. L'album de Bad Bunny est politique et va bien au-delà du simple phénomène musical : les retombées économiques à Porto Rico sont impressionnantes, avec plus de 6 000 visiteurs prévus dans le pays. À écouter aussiLe rappeur portoricain Bad Bunny sort un nouvel album entre héritage et innovation La rencontre entre Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine fait la Une dans la plupart des médias nord-américains aujourd'hui… Oui, et chacun y va de son analyse et de ses prévisions… Le New York Times, par exemple, a donné la parole à une experte de la politique étrangère et de la sécurité russe : « Poutine devrait faire attention à ce qu'il veut », prévient-elle. Elle décrit un monde remodelé à la baguette par le président américain, tout-puissant en ce moment face à la Russie de Poutine, affaiblie par deux ans de guerre et des ressources limitées… Dans le Washington Post, on peut lire une tout autre analyse. Les journalistes rappellent, eux, que Poutine est un ancien agent du KGB et qu'il n'hésitera pas à user de ses charmes et de sa maîtrise de la manipulation pour flatter le président américain et, pourquoi pas, le détourner du sujet principal… l'invasion russe en Ukraine. Suivre le live[En direct] Sommet Trump-Poutine: l'Ukraine «compte» sur le président américain pour convaincre la Russie de mettre fin à la guerre En République dominicaine, des femmes migrantes se font expulser juste après leur accouchement… Un chiffre assez impressionnant que l'on retrouve dans la presse aujourd'hui, il concerne les femmes haïtiennes, principales réfugiées en République dominicaine. Depuis le début de l'année 2025, les accouchements de ces femmes dans les hôpitaux publics du pays ont chuté de 70 %. Car il est devenu risqué d'aller accoucher à l'hôpital. Pourquoi ? À cause d'une politique migratoire très stricte mise en place en République dominicaine. Le média en ligne Notigram rappelle que, depuis le mois d'avril, le président a organisé des « raids d'immigration »… Le concept : demander systématiquement aux étrangers des documents d'identité ou une carte de séjour en règle lorsqu'ils ont besoin de soins. Si les patients étrangers ne présentent pas ces documents, ils risquent une expulsion presque immédiate. Parfois, les femmes haïtiennes ont à peine le temps d'accoucher. Notigram explique que, selon la réglementation, celles qui accouchent naturellement sont remises aux autorités de l'immigration 72 heures après la naissance de leur bébé. Le journal The Haitian Times avait recueilli certains témoignages de ces mères. Par exemple, l'arrivée d'hommes armés qui entrent dans une chambre d'hôpital à coups de pied sur la porte, au milieu de la nuit. Le journaliste Edxon Francisque raconte que, parfois, ils n'attendent même pas que la mère ait fini d'allaiter son nouveau-né pour les charger dans un camion qui les emmènera de l'autre côté de la frontière. À lire aussiL'ONU dénonce l'expulsion de femmes enceintes de République dominicaine vers Haïti Au Salvador, le président vient de nommer, à la tête du ministère de l'Éducation, une militaire… La nouvelle fait la Une de plusieurs journaux du pays. Il faut dire que ce n'est pas une décision anodine. Nayib Bukele, « le dictateur le plus cool du monde » comme il aime se faire appeler, opère en ce moment une restructuration des ministères, qui s'inscrit dans un contexte particulier. Le média indépendant et critique ContraPunto, Contre-Point en français, rappelle que la gouvernance du président prend une tournure de plus en plus autoritaire. Il mentionne l'appareil de propagande de Nayib Bukele, son culte du leader et l'effondrement progressif de la démocratie. Le journal La Prensa, lui, évoque une restructuration particulièrement radicale de l'éducation dans le pays. Les journalistes rappellent que cette nomination intervient alors que plusieurs syndicats alertent sur des pressions fréquentes sur les enseignants : rien que cette semaine, 14 professeurs ont été licenciés dans le pays. Sur X, le président s'est exprimé : il a toute confiance en la nouvelle ministre de l'Éducation pour « impulser une transformation profonde ». L'idée semble plutôt de réimplanter des valeurs conservatrices à l'école. En 2024, Bukele avait ordonné au ministère de l'Éducation d'éliminer « toute trace » de l'approche de genre dans les manuels scolaires.

W najnowszym odcinku podcastu Raport Międzynarodowy prowadzący Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz zastanawiają się, czy nadchodzący szczyt pomiędzy Donaldem Trumpem i Władimirem Putinem doprowadzi do zakończenia wojny, przerwy w działaniach zbrojnych czy może jedynie sektorowego zawieszenia broni, które jakkolwiek da Ukrainie wytchnienie od rosyjskich ataków na miasta? Jeśli Putin miałby zyskać uznanie międzynarodowe, a tym jest spotkanie z Donaldem Trumpem i w zamian wojny nie zakończyć, to Będzie to oznaczać zdecydowane zwycięstwo prezydenta Federacji Rosyjskiej. O tym wszystkim usłyszą Państwo w dostępnym na naszej stronie głównej i kanale YT fragmencie. Pełna wersja podcastu Raport Międzynarodowy dostępna jest w subskrypcji Onet Premium, a w niej prowadzący zastanawiają się, czy można porównywać ewentualne daleko idące ustępstwa Zachodu i Ukrainy w stosunku do Rosji do Układu z Monachium z 1938 roku. Witold Jurasz zwraca uwagę, że jakkolwiek Donald Trump może wykręcać ręce Wołodymyrowi Zełenskiemu, co faktycznie świadczyłoby na rzecz podobieństwa do scenariusza monachijskiego, to jednak Ukraina, inaczej niż Czechosłowacja po Monachium, zachowa niepodległość. To zaś czyni porównania owe zdecydowanie przesadzonymi. Przede wszystkim jednak obydwaj prowadzący zgadzają się, że tak naprawdę wszystkie scenariusze są możliwe, a przesądzanie czegokolwiek na tym etapie wydaje się przedwczesne. W dalszej części podcastu Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz omawiają sytuację w strefie w Strefie Gazy oraz decyzję Binjamina Netanjahu o okupacji całej strefy. Obydwaj prowadzący zgadzają się, że mimo rosnącej presji międzynarodowej Izrael nadal dopuszcza się działań, które nawet w opinii izraelskich obrońców praw człowieka są zbrodniami wojennymi. Obydwaj prowadzący po raz kolejny apelują, by nie mylić krytyki Izraela z niechęcią do Żydów. To drugie oznacza bowiem czysty rasizm i jest naganne moralnie. Mowa jest też o niedawnym oświadczeniu Konferencji Ambasadorów, która podsumowując prezydenturę Andrzeja Dudy, opisała działania Polski w sprawie Ukrainy w sposób daleki od jakiegokolwiek obiektywizmu i uczciwości. Gremium byłych dyplomatów sugeruje, że tak naprawdę Polska nic szczególnego nie zrobiła, a nasza polityka wobec Kijowa była oczywistością. Szanowne grono zapomina tym samym, że to Polska jako pierwsza zaangażowała się w pomoc Ukrainie, konsekwentnie lobbując na zachodzie, by kolejne państwa dołączyły do wspierania naszego wschodniego sąsiada. W dalszej części podcastu skomentowane zostaje też nagranie wyemitowane przez reżimową telewizję na Białorusi, na którym widać liderkę opozycji Swiatłanę Cichanouską otrzymującą pieniądze od KGB. Prowadzący zwracają uwagę, że nie można na podstawie tego nagrania powiedzieć, że Cichanouska jest czy też była agentką. Warto pamiętać o okolicznościach, w których otrzymała ona pieniądze, a te były takie, że jej mąż znajdował się w więzieniu, a samej opozycjonistce grożono odebraniem dzieci. Równocześnie Witold Jurasz zauważa, że wątpliwości odnośnie Ciechanouskiej i jej męża można było mieć już pięć lat temu. Już wtedy należało, co oczywiste, przyglądać się jej działalności z pewną dozą ostrożności. Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz pochylają się również nad antyukraińskimi nastrojami w Polsce, spierając się w tej kwestii, również w kontekście skandalicznego incydentu z banderowską flagą na koncercie Maxa Korzha na Stadionie Narodowym w Warszawie.

He breaks down juggling a full-time gig as a mechanical engineer while staying locked in on his music, stepping up as a Dad, and leveling up his patience game. joMi keeps it a buck on Dad guilt, tough choices between the stage and the crib, and the queen who's always held him down. But it's not all heavy talk! There's plenty of big wins and real laughs. From his eldest skipping all four years of high school to start college early, to his 6-year-old wildin' with a diss track aimed at a cousin, the kids are already in the game. Mix in joMi's fusion of Mexican heritage and Hip Hop, plus live instrumentation straight from the family tree, and you've got an episode loaded with culture, heart, and fatherhood wisdom every Hip Hop head can feel.

Grab your sour-patch straws, stop sour punching your straw, and join us as we slip into the impeccably tailored, morally dubious world of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., where Henry Cavill smirks his way through the Cold War and Armie Hammer glowers in various shades of “angry Russian.” We talk about the opening Berlin chase, the world's suavest tablecloth yank, and why Guy Ritchie clearly decided style was more important than historical accuracy—or sometimes, basic physics. Also, everyone is ridiculously good-looking, and yes, we noticed. Repeatedly. Somewhere between the CIA, the KGB, and whatever Hugh Grant is doing in this movie, there's a plot about nuclear warheads, a fake engagement, and a fashion show that doubles as spycraft. We pick apart the “unlikely partners” dynamic, try to decide if Gaby is the actual MVP, and get distracted by the soundtrack every time Roberta Flack or Nina Simone shows up. (Seriously, this might be the most our Spotify queues have been influenced by a rewatch.) Naturally, we wander into side quests: our rankings of cinematic buddy duos, a brief tangent about how many spy movies would be ruined if the characters had iPhones, and Elise's theory that Cavill's Solo is basically James Bond on a heavy sedative. Somewhere in there we debate who in the group could actually pull off a 1960s double-breasted suit. Spoiler: not all of us. By the end, we're in Istanbul, the team's assembled, and we're low-key mad this stylish mess never got a sequel. If you're into slick visuals, flirty banter, and the occasional implausible stunt involving vintage cars, you might want to give this one another spin—preferably with a drink in hand and your sharpest spy outfit on standby. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1638355
Trump har store planer, faktisk 8.300 m2 store: Han vil bygge en balsal i Det Hvide Hus' have. Samtidig forsøger han at tvinge Putin til en våbenhvile i Ukraine, men den tidligere KGB-agent er tung at danse med. Forholdet mellem de to er gået fra gaver og smiger til trusler om sanktioner og atomubåde, og Stjerner og Striber gransker den præsidentielle bromance. Og så tager vi til Texas, hvor Trump - til demokraternes hvidglødende raseri - vil redde republikanernes midtvejsvalg med et helt særligt politisk redskab.

Il y a cinq ans, les Biélorusses votaient pour élire leur président. Une élection une nouvelle fois marquée par une fraude massive qui a permis la réélection d'Alexandre Loukachenko, au pouvoir depuis 1994. Mais en 2020, à la différence des autres années, les Biélorusses sont descendus en masse dans les rues pour protester. Des manifestations qui ont été réprimées dans le sang. Cinq ans après, les persécutions se poursuivent. Près de 1 200 prisonniers politiques sont en prison et 500 000 Biélorusses ont quitté leur pays pour fuir la répression. Ils se sont surtout installés en Pologne et en Lituanie. De notre correspondante à Vilnius, Quand il sirote son cappuccino dans un café de Vilnius, rien ne distingue Yauhen des autres jeunes Lituaniens, tatoués et habillés à la mode comme lui. Tout les sépare pourtant. Le Biélorusse est réfugié en Lituanie. « J'ai l'impression d'être parfois dans un monde parallèle où la Biélorussie n'a jamais été une dictature. D'un côté, quitter le pays a été une très bonne décision, d'un autre, je rêve souvent de retourner dans mon pays », confie-t-il. Il est arrivé en Lituanie le 4 novembre 2020, après avoir été expulsé de l'université à Minsk. Il s'est fait tatouer le tampon d'entrée sur le territoire sur son bras. Comme la plupart des 51 000 Biélorusses arrivés dans ce pays depuis cinq ans, il n'a pas choisi ce déracinement. Même s'il parle lituanien, il est content de trouver des endroits où échanger en biélorusse. « Tous les trois-quatre mois, des espaces apparaissent où les Biélorusses peuvent se retrouver. Il y a un restaurant biélorusse, Karczma, un magasin de souvenirs biélorusses qui organisent aussi des rencontres, des événements », énumère-t-il. Victoria Federova dirige l'ONG Legal Initiative. Elle documente les cas de torture dans les prisons biélorusses et verse ces preuves aux enquêtes ouvertes contre le régime de Minsk en Lituanie. Le quotidien peut être parfois compliqué. « Nos pièces d'identité vont bientôt expirer et par exemple, on ne sait pas comment faire pour les renouveler. Désormais, c'est interdit de le faire dans les ambassades », regrette-t-elle. Les services de renseignement lituaniens avertissent depuis quelques mois de la campagne active de recrutement du KGB biélorusse en Lituanie. « J'ai appris aujourd'hui que le comité biélorusse d'investigation avait ouvert des enquêtes criminelles contre des personnes qui avaient manifesté à l'étranger contre le régime. Ils peuvent nous juger par contumace et confisquer nos biens en Biélorussie », explique Victoria Federova, qui se méfie lorsqu'elle se rend à des manifestations. Le poète Tsikhan Czarnikiewicz a recréé l'union des écrivains biélorusses à Vilnius, après que l'association a été fermée du jour au lendemain durant l'été 2021. Pour lui, promouvoir la culture est un acte de résistance : « On organise ici des événements littéraires, des festivals et on essaye d'inviter des auteurs de Biélorussie. Il y a si peu d'occasions aujourd'hui en Biélorussie pour les écrivains, les musiciens, les acteurs. » Quand on sort de Vilnius, les panneaux indiquent la direction de Minsk ou Grodno, deux grandes villes biélorusses toutes proches. Mais pour de nombreux émigrés, traverser la frontière signifierait être directement envoyé en prison.

The explosive inside story of the October Surprise conspiracy, a stunning act of treason that changed American history. New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in our elections goes unpunished and what gets remembered when the political price for treason is victory.It was a tinderbox of an accusation. In April 1991, the New York Times ran an op-ed alleging that Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign had conspired with the Iranian government to delay the release of 52 American hostages until after the 1980 election. The Iranian hostage crisis was President Jimmy Carter's largest political vulnerability, and his lack of success freeing them ultimately sealed his fate at the ballot box. In return for keeping Americans in captivity until Reagan assumed the oath of office, the Republicans had secretly funneled arms to Iran. Treasonous and illegal, the operation—planned and executed by Reagan's campaign manager Bill Casey—amounted to a shadow foreign policy run by private citizens that ensured Reagan's victory.Investigative journalist Craig Unger was one of the first reporters covering the October Surprise—initially for Esquire and then Newsweek—and while attempting to unravel the mystery, he was fired, sued, and ostracized by the Washington press corps, as a counter narrative took hold: The October Surprise was a hoax. Though Unger later recovered his name and became a bestselling author on Republican abuses of power, the October Surprise remained his white whale, the project he—as well as legendary investigative journalist, the late Robert Parry—worked on late at night and between assignments.In Den of Spies, Unger reveals the definitive story of the October Surprise, going inside his three-decade reporting odyssey, along with Parry's never-before-seen archives, and sharing startling truths about what really happened in 1980. The result is a real-life political thriller filled with double agents, CIA operatives, slippery politicians, KGB documents, wealthy Republicans, and dogged journalists. A timely and provocative history that presages our Trump-era political scandals, Den of Spies demonstrates the stakes of allowing the politics of the moment to obscure the writing of our history.https://amzn.to/4ohW3GhBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
On this edition of Parallax Views, journalist Eric Margolis returns to discuss his articles "The Honey Trap on East 71st" and, more recently, "The Epstein Scandal". Margolis recounts his experience at a luncheon hosted by Epstein at his palatial residence on East 71st Street in New York City. Margolis was offered a 'massage' soon after arriving at Epstein's house, and was puzzled by it. As someone who'd spent time in Russia and dealt with KGB, he immediately believed that this was a honey trap. That is to say, an operation to get kompromat on prominent, influential, and powerful individuals through sexual liasons. Margolis believes that at the heart of the Epstein scandal is espionage, specifically an intelligence operation, and blackmail. He also speculates that Israeli intelligence fingerprints are all over the case. We discussed all of this as well as the Jonathan Pollard spying case, the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal (which has received renewed attention due to an article entitled "Did Benjamin Netanyahu Blackmail Bill Clinton Over the Monica Lewinsky Sex Tapes?" by Ryan Grim at Drop Site News), and more.
In 2005, Vladimir Putin said the fall of the Soviet Union was the “greatest political catastrophe of the 20th century.” As Sen. Mitch McConnell pointed out, that should have told us everything we needed to know about this ex-KGB lieutenant colonel. He made the remark at an event in the U.S. Senate discussing a new report on Putin's war in Ukraine. The report was prepared by a task force of 22 foreign policy experts. The coordinator of the task force is Daniel Twining, president of the International Republican Institute. He joins host Cliff May along with FDD's Bradley Bowman — both also task force members — to unpack findings.
