Khí đốt, lá chủ bài để Ukraina mặc cả với Nga ?

TẠP CHÍ KINH TẾ

Bất chấp chiến tranh, Matxcơva và Kiev vẫn tôn trong hợp đồng 5 năm để đưa khí đốt của Nga sang châu Âu qua lãnh thổ Ukraina. Cũng vì xung đột 2 trong số 4 ngả xuất khẩu khí đốt của Nga cho Liên Âu bị tắc nghẽn. Trước khi Gazprom và Naftogaz đàm phán lại về một thỏa thuận mới cho giai đoạn 2025-2029, Kiev tấn công vùng Kurk, chiếm Soudja, tạm thời kiểm soát một cửa ngõ xuất khẩu năng lượng của Nga để tạo thêm sức mạnh cho « kế hoạch chiến thắng ». Phải chăng đây là một tính toán để Ukraina mặc cả với chính quyền Putin về « kế hoạch » chấm dứt chiến tranh mà tổng thống Volodymyr Zelensky đem đến Washington, trình bày với tổng thống với quốc hội lưỡng viện Hoa Kỳ ?Ngày 05/09/2024, phát biểu tại Diễn Đàn Kinh Tế Vladivostock, tổng thống Putin nhìn nhận kinh tế Nga sẽ bị « thiệt hại về tài chính » nếu Kiev không triển hạn hợp đồng với tập đoàn dầu khí Gazprom để xuất khẩu khí đốt của Nga cho Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Hợp đồng hiện hành sẽ hết hiệu lực vào ngày 31/12/2024. Trên nguyên tắc Gazprom của Nga và Naftogaz của Ukraina sẽ phải đàm phán lại về một thỏa thuận 5 năm, nhưng cuối tháng 8/2024 tổng thống Zelensky chính thức thông báo « ngừng triển hạn » thỏa thuận với phía Nga.Bài toán đối với Gazprom càng thêm nan giải từ khi Kiev mở chiến dịch tấn công vùng Kursk hồi đầu tháng 8/2024, kiểm soát thành phố Soudja, trạm cuối cùng trước khi khí đốt của Nga « bước vào lãnh thổ Ukraina » ở thành phố Soumy.Khí đốt, công cụ chính trị đôi bên cùng khai thácTrả lời RFI tiếng Việt, từ Matxcơva Arnaud Dubien, giám đốc điều hành Đài Quan Sát Pháp Nga, nhắc lại về tầm mức quan trọng của Ukraina trong hệ thống xuất khẩu năng lượng của Nga :Arnaud Dubien : « Hệ thống đường ống dẫn dầu và khí đốt đặt trên lãnh thổ Ukraina có từ thời Liên Xô. Khi đó trước hết là để cung cấp năng lượng của Liên Xô cho các nước trong khối xã hội chủ nghĩa ở đông Âu. Đến khoảng thập niên 1970 thì Liên Xô bắt đầu cung cấp luôn cả cho nhiều nước tây Âu. Hệ thống các đường ống này tuy đã cổ lỗ nhưng chúng vẫn tồn tại ngay cả khi Liên Xô sụp đổ và vẫn còn tiếp tục hoạt động sau ngày 24/02/2022 khi Nga tuyên chiến với Ukraina. Trước chiến tranh, 5 năm một lần, Matxcơva và Kiev vẫn đàm phán lại về thỏa thuận khí đốt. Đôi bên đã từng trải qua hai cuộc khủng hoảng vào năm 2005 rồi 2019 khi mà chính quyền Ukraina bày tỏ mong muốn tiến gần hơn về phía phương Tây. Khí đốt như vậy trở thành một công cụ chính trị để Nga bắt chẹt Ukraina và trong chiều ngược lại đối với Kiev, là cửa ngõ để đưa năng lượng của Nga ra thế giới bên ngoài giúp Ukraina chiếm được một lợi thế. (…)Cho đến hiện tại, điều ngạc nhiên là thỏa thuận giữa Nga với Ukraina về khí đốt vẫn hoạt động, đơn giản do Liên Hiệp Châu Âu vẫn tiêu thụ khí đốt của Nga. Cho dù là hai bên tham chiến nhưng đối với Matxcơva, hệ thống đường ống đi qua lãnh thổ Ukraina quan trọng hơn bao giờ hết. Ngả này chiếm một trọng lượng rất lớn đối với kinh tế của Nga, do những đường ống dẫn khác, như Nord Stream hay Yamal phải đi qua lãnh thổ Ba Lan, đã bị gián đoạn ».Gazprom mất gần 90 % thị trường ở châu ÂuTrước khi Matxcơva khởi động « chiến dịch quân sự đặc biệt tại Ukraina » hàng năm Nga xuất khẩu 150 tỷ mét khối khí đốt sang Liên Âu, qua bốn ngả khác nhau (Ukraina, Nord Stream, Yamal và Turkish Stream). Hiện tại, dưới tác động chiến tranh, khối lượng khí đốt của Nga xuất khẩu sang châu Âu đã sụt giảm đến hơn 87 % trong chưa đầy ba năm. Để đến được châu Âu khí đốt của Nga phần lớn vẫn phải « quá cảnh » ở Ukraina. Theo hợp đồng hiện hành Gazprom và Naftogaz đã thông qua hồi 2019, mỗi năm 40 tỷ mét khối khí đốt của Nga bán sang châu Âu chung chuyển qua lãnh thổ Ukraina. Cuối 2023 trên thực tế chỉ có 12-13 tỷ mét khối đi qua ngả này. Để so sánh trong giai đoạn « cực thịnh » 2008-2019, trung bình một năm các đường ống trên lãnh thổ Ukraina chuyển 90 tỷ mét khối khí đốt của Nga đến người tiêu dùng châu Âu.Dù có suy giảm mạnh nhưng đến nay Nga và Ukraina vẫn không dám xa rời nhau trên hồ sơ khí đốt. Sau hơn 940 ngày chiến tranh, hệ thống các ống đưa khí đốt của Nga sang châu Âu đi ngang qua lãnh thổ Ukraina vẫn nguyên vẹn ; khí đốt là một trong những hồ sơ hiếm hoi mà đối thoại giữa Matxcơva và Kiev chưa bao giờ bị gián đoạn. Về mặt chính thức, Ukraina không còn « nhập khẩu » dầu khí của « kẻ thù » mà dựa hẳn vào năng lượng của « đồng minh châu Âu ». Có điều Liên Âu vẫn là một khách hàng mua vào khí đốt của Nga, nhất là khí hóa lỏng.Đầu óc thực dụng của Matxcơva và KievHệ thống đường ống dẫn khí đốt này phần nào là « một lá bùa hộ mạng » cho Ukraina. Arnaud Dubien, Đài Quan Sát Pháp Nga từ Matxcơva giải thích điện Kremlin sẽ không dám động vào hệ thống này chừng nào mà Liên Âu còn phải mua năng lượng của Nga. Về phía Kiev, chính quyền của tổng thống Volodymyr Zelensky cũng không dại để mất đi một nguồn thu nhập nhờ « cho thuê đất » hàng năm vẫn nhận được từ tay Gazprom.Arnaud Dubien : « Các đường ống dẫn khí đốt phần lớn được chôn trong lòng đất, Nga tránh không oanh kích vào các khu vực đặt các đường ống dẫn sang Hungary và Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ. Về phía Ukraina thì Kiev cũng không dám chận các hệ thống chung chuyển này, vì đó là khí đốt xuất khẩu sang Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Có điều thình thoản Kiev ‘làm mình làm mẩy' với một số thành viên trong Liên Âu như là Áo, Hungary hay Slovakia vì những nước này kém mặn mà giúp đỡ Ukraina. (…) Cần phải đợi thêm một vài tuần nữa mới biết được tiến trình đàm phán về thỏa thuận khí đốt giữa Nga và Ukraina sẽ diễn tiến ra sao. Điều chắc chắn duy nhất là lần này, hai tập đoàn Gazprom của Nga và Naftogaz của Ukraina không trực tiếp đàm phán như điều vẫn thấy từ trước đến nay ».Ukraina chơi trò « rung cây dọa khỉ »Vậy phải chăng việc ông Zelensky tuyên bố ngừng triển hạn thỏa thuận khí đốt giữa tập đoàn năng lượng Ukraina Naftogaz và đối tác Nga là Gazprom chỉ là đòn « rung cây dọa khỉ », bởi vì cắt đường ống dẫn khí đốt với Nga, Kiev sẽ gây khó khăn cho thị trường năng lượng tại Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, điểm tựa quan trọng cả về quân sự lẫn kinh tế và nhất là năng lượng của Ukraina ?  Arnaud Dubien : « Gazprom mất một phần lớn thị trường châu Âu. Trước đây tập đoàn này xuất khẩu mỗi năm hơn 150 tỷ mét khối khí đốt sang Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Hiện tại chỉ còn chừng từ 20 đến 30 tỷ mét khối. Đây là một thiệt hại rất lớn đối với kinh tế Nga, bảo đảm từ 20 đến 30 % tiêu thụ cho Liên Âu. Sau hơn 2 năm chiến tranh tỷ lệ này rơi xuống còn 15 % nhưng phải nói rõ trong số 15 % ấy thì chỉ có một nửa là khí đốt, nửa còn lại là khí hóa lỏng (LNG). Công nghiệp khí hóa lỏng lại do một tập đoàn tư nhân Nga Novatek sản xuất và xuất khẩu, thành thử ra, Gazprom lại càng thua thiệt nhiều ».Theo thống kê của viện nghiên cứu châu Âu Bruegel tại Bỉ, cuối 2023 Gazprom chỉ còn kiểm soát 5 % thị trường Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Tuy nhiên ông Dubien tin rằng dưới hình thức này hay hình thức khác, Nga và Ukraina cũng sẽ tìm được đồng thuận vì không bên nào muốn giết chết con gà đẻ trứng vàng. Ukraina vẫn cần có năng lượng bảo đảm cho tiêu thụ nội địa, cần để ngỏ van cho khí đốt của Nga tiếp tục chảy sang 27 nước thành viên Liên Âu, nhất là một số quốc gia trong khối này như Áo vẫn lệ thuộc đến 98 % vào « khí đốt của Nga ». Nga không thể để mất châu ÂuỞ góc đài bên kia, Matxcơva không thể để mất thị trường châu Âu. Cuộc chiến nào rồi cũng có ngày sẽ kết thúc, Liên Âu ở sát cạnh cửa ngõ của nước Nga với hơn 500 triệu người tiêu dùng. Thêm một thực tế khác là những nỗ lực của các nhà sản xuất và xuất khẩu dầu khí Nga để chuyển hướng sang châu Á vẫn chưa mang lại kết quả mong muốn. Arnaud Dubien : « Châu Á chưa thể thay thế châu Âu để mua khí đốt của Nga -hay cùng lắm là chỉ mới thế chỗ được một phần nào mà thôi. Chúng ta cần phân biệt giữa khí đốt và khí hóa lỏng. Novatek khai thác LNG từ khu vực Yamal và xuất khẩu sang châu Á bằng tàu thủy, Gazprom cũng bán khí đốt cho các khánh hàng ở châu Á bằng ngả này. Do vậy, hiện tại khối lượng xuất khẩu sang châu Á không nhiều và cũng chính vì thế mà Gazprom đầu tư vào hai đường ống Power of Siberia 1 và 2, để thỏa mãn thị trường Trung Quốc. Đường ống Siberia 1 đã bắt đầu hoạt động từ 2019 và có khả năng cung cấp khoảng 38 tỷ mét khối khí đốt một năm. Để so sánh trước đây, Gazprom từng xuất khẩu mỗi năm 150 tỷ mét khối cho Liên Âu. Chính vì cần mở rộng thị trường tại châu Á, Gazprom đã khởi động dự án thứ nhì là Siberia 2 và dự trù một khi hoạt động, đường ống này có thể cung cấp đến 50 tỷ mét khối hàng năm. Nhưng Bắc Kinh mặc cả quá chặt chẽ, còn phía Matxcơva thì không muốn bán rẻ năng lượng của Nga cho Trung Quốc và dự đường ống Siberia 2 còn dậm chân tại chỗ ».Thêm một yếu tố khác nữa giải thích vì sao Nga có thể vẫn ngọt nhạt với Ukraina trên hồ sơ khí đốt, bởi bất chấp thời sự chiến tranh và những tuyên bố Bruxelles đòi « cai nghiện » năng lượng của Nga, thực tế cho thấy nhờ có Ukraina, Nga vẫn thu về 6 tỷ euro nhờ xuất khẩu năng lượng sang Liên Âu và  đó vẫn là một nguồn thu nhập quý giá đối với các nhà sản xuất Nga. Hơn nữa, tổng thống Putin thừa biết năng lượng là một công cụ hữu hiệu để duy trì ảnh hưởng cả về kinh tế lẫn chính trị với nhiều nước trong Liên Âu. Nga không dại để Mỹ độc quyền cung cấp dầu khí cho Liên Âu, hay để tự trói mình vào hai khách hàng lớn nhất tại châu Á là Trung Quốc và Ấn Độ.

In der letzten Silvesternacht gab es, wie jedes Jahr, schon Stunden vorher laute Böllerei und schon länger vor Mitternacht dachten manche, nicht mehr warten zu können und legten los mit bunten und lauten Silvesterraketen. Wir saßen in der Anbetungskapelle, mitten in dem ganzen Trubel, zwischen Marktplatz und Kurkölner Platz und dachten zwischendurch, wir hätten die Mitternachtsglocke überhört. Selten habe ich sosehr gespürt, dass dieser Gott genau in diesen Trubel gekommen ist. In die Feierfreude des neuen Jahres, in das Geistervertreiben mit der Knallerei, in das Trinken und Wünschen und Tanzen und sich alles Liebe wünschen. Und als dann die Glocken geläutet haben und wir das "Lobet den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren“ gesungen hatten, sind wir auch nach draußen gegangen um zu schauen, zu staunen, zu grüßen und mit kleinen Wunderkerzen strahlende Funken zu senden. Irgendwann später gab es einen komischen lauten Knall und da hatten Jugendliche unseren Metallbriefkasten mit einem Böller demoliert und die Klappe lag auf der Straße und das Schloss war herausgesprengt. Aber am anderen Morgen, als sei nicht gewesen, stand in dem demolierten völlig offenen Briefkasten ein Brief für uns Schwestern mit einer Einladung zu einer Veranstaltung. Dieses Bild mit dem kleinen Brief, der in dem kaputten Briefkasten stand, ist für mich schon jetzt DAS Bild des Jahres 2024. Es ist mit einem Schmunzeln der Beweis, dass Gott in all unser Durcheinander, in all den Lärm und auch nicht sehr schönen Erlebnisse, mitten dahinein seine Botschaften schickt und uns erreichen kann. Das Wort für heute steht beim Propheten Jesaja. Er sagt: "Wendet euch mir zu und lasst euch erretten, ihr Menschen aus den fernsten Ländern der Erde; denn ich bin Gott, und sonst niemand. Ich habe bei mir selbst geschworen, und mein Mund hat die Wahrheit gesprochen, es ist ein unwiderrufliches Wort: Vor mir wird jedes Knie sich beugen, und jede Zunge wird bei mir schwören: Nur beim Herrn - sagt man von mir - gibt es Rettung und Schutz.“ Tun wir das einfach und nehmen wir seinen Brief aus dem demolierten Briefkasten an.

In its 81 years in business, MANN+HUMMEL has prided itself on being family-owned, remaining steadfast to its mission: separating the useful from the harmful with its filtration products. Yet, over the years, its products have evolved as the company has innovated to meet the demands of its customers. About 25 years ago, the innovation and heritage of MANN+HUMMEL attracted its current president and CEO to the company and he hasn't looked back. Kurk Wilks joined the company in 1998 on the OE side of the business as a senior account manager. Then, he transitioned into sales and took on a global role managing the General Motors account. Over the years, he has held director roles in the areas of sales, engineering and operations on local, regional and global levels. Finally in December 2018, he was named president and general manager of the company's OE business."Then, in 2020 I was asked by our chairman to become the CEO. So it's unique. I'm the first American CEO of this German, family-owned business," he explained. "But I think with my 25 years of experience, the deep respect I have for our heritage of what it means to be family-owned and be technology driven, I'm able to take those assets with our people, our most important asset, and make something different for our customers to experience." Today, MANN+HUMMEL calls itself the leader in filtration, as it continues to invest in R&D, engineering, digitalization and advanced technology. "We use analytics tools, AI and other processes now to really bolt on and streamline how we run the business," he said. "But in the end, for me it's about reliability and trust that when customers use our product, it'll make their asset perform as desired and as needed." In this episode of AMN Drivetime, presented by AISIN, Wilks delves into: His first roles in the automotive aftermarket and what attracted him to MANN+HUMMEL (0:51)His career trajectory at the company (2:30)Experiences that have shaped his view on the business (4:18)How MANN+HUMMEL has benefitted from its expanded distribution strategy after opening a distribution center on the West Coast (8:16)The ways the company is innovating in filtration through digital solutions and the importance of its digital hubs (10:12)Additional opportunities for the company's growth (14:12)What he's seeing as the state of the automotive aftermarket with his role as vice chairman of MEMA (15:01)The Lightening Round ⚡ This episode is sponsored by AISIN.

De Kopgroep treurt over het uitvallen van Biniam Girmay. De Eritreeër schakelde zichzelf uit met een kurk toen hij zijn overwinning dinsdag mocht vieren. Nadat Van der Poel en Yates nog goed wegkwamen na hun etappezeges is nu de Afrikaanse revelatie van dit seizoen uit koers. Het is zo erg dat Mart er zelfs voor pleit om de Prosecco in de ban te doen. Tenminste bij de huldiging op het podium. Thuis bij een stuk aspergetaart is natuurlijk een ander verhaal.   En waar was Dries de Bondt woensdag mee bezig? De Belg reed 50 kilometer solo in een kansloze ontsnapping. Jojanneke kon het wel waarderen, maar de mannen hadden liever gezien dat de Alpecin renner de benen had gespaard om Mathieu van der Poel bij te staan in de komende etappes, want die stond er dinsdag in de finale helemaal alleen voor.

Just as the candle may spark up just before it goes out,  Toqtamish seemed poised to right the wrongs of the previous decades, and reaffirm the power of the Golden Horde over its subjects, and thus bring about further centuries of greatness. But then came Temür, Toqtamish's former patron, turned greatest enemy. I'm your host David, and this is Kings and Generals: Age of Conquest.   While our series on the Golden Horde has so far focused on the descendants of Batu Khan, the khans of the Golden Horde until the start of 1360s, the other descendants of Jochi's many other sons had their own appanages within the khanate. Of the fourteen named sons of Jochi,  by the late fourteenth century  there were two of these lineages left who held any might. These were the lines of Shiban, Jochi's fifth son, and Toqa-Temür, Jochi's youngest son. As the house of Batu and Orda went extinct in the middle of the fourteenth century, the torch of rulership was passed between these lineages. It seems both lineages were largely based in the eastern part of the khanate, in the Blue Horde or the ulus of Orda. The Shibanids held lands in what was to become the Khanate of Sibir, named for the fortress of the same name. The heart of this territory was the upper Irtysh River, and if the name of Sibir sounds familiar, that's because in time it gave its name to Siberia. The Toqa-Temürids meanwhile seem to have generally ranged east of the Ural river, across the Kazakh steppes.   In the chaos that followed Berdi Beğ Khan's death in 1359, it was representatives of the Shibanids who first moved west to claim the throne in Sarai. When Orda's line died out in the 1360s, the Toqa-Temürids were the ones on the scene to usurp the ulus in the Blue Horde lands, though it was not a secure power base. The order of khans is a matter of great contention: reigns were brief, and various sources often offer contradictory information, which is often further contradicted with the dates given on coinage in the period. What is clear is that the Blue Horde contenders quickly, if not immediately, saw their conflict and their state as independent of the wars for Sarai ongoing at the same time. The Blue Horde was now separate, once more, from the Golden.   One of the earliest figures to seize the vacant throne of the Ordaids was Qara-Nogai, a Toqa-Temürid. In the early 1360s he was elected khan in Sighnaq, the Blue Horde administrative capital, located on the lower reaches of Syr Darya River near the Aral Sea. His reign was brief, but after some years of conflict members of his family continued to claim the throne; the most notable of these was Urus Khan, whose reign is usually dated to beginning in 1368.    Urus Khan was a real strong man— and not a descendant of Orda, as newer research has demonstrated. In the decade of his reign Urus established a firm hold on power and firm military backing. Rivals for the throne were violently killed or exiled, and around 1372 he even led an army to take Sarai and declare himself Khan of the Golden Horde, though he soon abandoned the city. Nonetheless he exercised a monopoly on power in the Blue Horde which made it considerably more stable than the ongoing troubles in the Golden Horde, which was too much even for Urus to exert control over. But such was his influence that his sons and descendants continued to be prominent players for decades. Two sons, Quyurchuq and Ulugh Muhammad, later became khans of the Golden Horde, while the latter established the Khanate of Kazan; a grandson of Urus, Baraq, also became Khan of the Golden Horde, while Urus' great-grandchildren established the Kazakh Khanate. It should not be a surprise then that some historians suggest that Urus should be identified with Alash Khan, the legendary founder of the Kazakhs from whom all khans were descended.  Descent from Urus, in effect, became a new form of legitimacy after the fourteenth century.   As mentioned, Urus took to killing and exiling his rivals to power. These were often fellow Toqa-Temürids. One such fellow who he had killed was his cousin, Toy-Khwaja. In the aftermath, Toy-Khwaja's son was forced to flee; this is our first introduction to Toqtamish. Toy-Khwaja must have been quite the rival and had some following, for Toqtamish never had much trouble finding supporters for himself. One source indicates Toqtamish's mother was a high ranking lady of the Sufi-Qonggirads, a dynasty which had recently established its quasi-independence from the Blue Horde at Urgench and now ruled Khwarezm. A young and courageous warrior, if not the most tactically skilled, Prince Toqtamish deeply desired both revenge and power. Urus Khan's horsemen pursued him, and Toqtamish fled for his life right out of the steppe, crossing the Syr Darya River to seek shelter with a new rising power: Aksak Temür as the Turks of the time knew him; he'd prefer to be known as Emir Temür Güregen, son-in-law to the house of Chinggis and sahib-i qiran, “lord of the Auspicious Conjunction.” Persians knew him as Temür-i Lang, and today we know him best as Tamerlane. Since half the people in this period are named some variation of Temür, to help make it easier to tell everyone apart we'll stick with his popular moniker of Tamerlane.   Since the beginning of the 1360s, Tamerlane had fought for power in the ruins of the western half of the Chagatai Khanate. By spring 1370 he had succeeded in becoming master of Transoxania. As a non-Chinggisid, Tamerlane could not bear the title of khan or rule in his own right over nomads. Thus his official title was Emir, presenting himself as the protector of his new puppet khan, a descendant of Ögedai. From this basis the Timürid empire began to expand.    When Toqtamish fled to the domains of Tamerlane around 1375, the Emir's attention was still mostly local. His campaigns into Iran had not yet begun, and instead he alternated between attacking the Sufi-Qonggirads in Khwarezm, and Qamar al-Din, the ruler of the eastern Chagatai lands, or Moghulistan as it was commonly known at the time.  Undoubtedly, Tamerlane held a wary eye to his northern border; Urus Khan and his horsemen posed a real threat to Tamerlane, in a way none of his other neighbours did. Thus when a young, pliable claimant to the throne of Urus arrived in his court, Tamerlane was more than willing to oblige. Should Toqtamish control the Blue Horde, then Tamerlane needn't worry over that border and could turn his attention elsewhere. Toqtamish was received in Tamerlane's court with high honours and respect, and granted Otrar and other lands along the Syr Darya as patrimony, in addition to troops, horses and supplies. Not coincidentally, Otrar was within spitting distance of Sighnaq. Tamerlane had given Toqtamish a platform to seize the Blue Horde.   Toqtamish quickly began raiding the lands of Urus, building his reputation as a warrior and charismatic leader. But Urus was no fool and quickly had an army sent after Toqtamish, under the command of a son, Qutlugh Buqa. Despite fierce effort on Toqtamish's part, and the death of Qutlugh Buqa in the fighting, Toqtamish was defeated and sent back to Tamerlane. The Emir provided Toqtamish another army, only for Toqtamish to again be defeated when another of Urus' armies came seeking to avenge Qutlugh Buqa. This time, according to the Timurid historian Yazdi, Toqtamish was so thoroughly beaten down that he ditched his armour and swam across the Syr Darya River to save his life, and returned to Tamerlane naked and humbled. Not long after came a representative of Urus, named Edigü, a powerful bey within the Blue Horde and head of the Manghit people. Edigü bore Urus' message demanding Tamerlane handover Toqtamish; was it not right for the father to avenge the son? What right did Tamerlane have to hold such a fugitive?   Tamerlane refused to handover Toqtamish— whatever Tamerlaner's faults, and there were many, he had given his word as overlord to protect the young prince. Some authors go as far as to present an almost father/son dynamic between them. It's not impossible; Tamerlane had gone through his own period of qazaqliq,  the Turkic term for when a prince was reduced to a state of near brigandage, a freebooter fighting for every scrap. It's the etymological basis, by the way, for both the Turkic Kazakh and the Cossacks of the Pontic steppes.  Tamerlane may have sympathized with the fierce, proud Toqtamish, in contrast with his own sons who tended to range from lazy to unreliable. Tamerlane's own favoured son and heir, his second son Jahangir Mirza, died about this time in 1376 or 7, leaving his father stricken with grief. Toqtamish may have filled in the gap, and as Toqtamish himself had lost his father, it's not difficult to imagine Toqtamish valuing Tamerlane's presence greatly.  Of course, it may simply have been convenience on the part of both parties.    With Tamerlane's refusal to hand over Toqtamish, Urus Khan led an army against them. Tamerlane raised one in response, with Toqtamish in the vanguard. Skirmishing ensued, and nearly did the full forces clash, had not, according to Yazdi, a vicious rainstorm kept the armies apart. They returned to their respective realms. The dramatic confrontation between the two great warlords of Central Asia was averted when, likely in 1378, Urus Khan suddenly died, followed in quick succession by the chief of his sons, Toqta Caya.       In a mad dash, Tamerlane sent Toqtamish with an army to Sighnaq, and had him finally declared khan. Tamerlane returned comfortably to his capital of Samarkand, only to learn that Toqtamish had again been ousted, when another of Urus Khan's sons, Temür Malik, had declared himself khan and raised an army. Once more Tamerlane reinforced Toqtamish, though now Toqtamish was able to gather more support of his own. Finally Temür Malik Khan was overcome, and Toqtamish firmly emplaced as Khan of the Blue Horde. Not coincidentally, from this point onwards Tamerlane was able to secure his frontiers and begin his southern conquests into Iran, which would hold his attention for the rest of the 1380s.       The new Khan, Toqtamish,  set about confirming the support of the pillars of his new realm. The Shibanids of Sibir, and the Sufi-Qonggirads of Khwarezm, despite their capital of Urgench being sacked by Tamerlane in 1379, were important suppliers of troops for Toqtamish. Numerous beys and princes came over to pledge allegiance to him. Toqtamish either convinced them of his divine support, or richly rewarded them, and succeeded in breaking even some factions. The Manghit leader Edigü, for instance, found that his brother ‘Isa Beğ became a staunch ally of Toqtamish Khan. Edigü's sister had been married to Urus Khan's son, the late Temür Malik Khan, and despite the latter's defeat Edigü remained a powerful and prominent figure within the Horde, controlling a great swath of pasture east of the Ural and Emba Rivers. To bring him over, or at least stop his active resistance, Toqtamish provided Edigü tarkhan, or tax-exempt, status and granted him more lands.       With his rear secured, Toqtamish had not a moment to lose. His intentions were clear. Toqtamish was not aiming to just succeed his father, or Urus Khan, or be merely Khan of the Blue Horde. He had much bigger dreams. He idolized Öz Beg Khan and the glory days of the united ulus. Beyond that though, outside of Mongolia proper, Toqtamish was effectively the only Chinggisid monarch who held power in his own name. The Yuan Khans had been pushed from China, and their power restricted to the Mongol homeland, and their attention focused on battling Ming Dynasty incursions into the steppe. In the west, all other Chinggisids were puppets or minor princelings. Toqtamish therefore presented himself not just as heir to Özbeg and Jani Beg, or of Batu and Jochi, but as the heir to Chinggis Khan. For the rest of his life Toqtamish remained the most powerful single member of the house of Chinggis, and styled himself not as khan, but as khagan, Great Khan. And for that, he needed Sarai.         Quickly, but carefully, he made his way onto the Jochid capital, winning over allies or defeating foes as he went, before taking the city in 1380. Only one great enemy remained, and that was the western beylerbeyi, Mamai. There was not a moment to waste once Mamai suffered defeat at Kulikovo against the Prince of Moscow in September 1380. As Mamai retreated to his base in the steppes north of Crima, Toqtamish granted yarliqs to the Italians in the Crimea to confirm and expand their privileges, trapping Mamai between them. Toqtamish unleashed a full assault on Mamai and crushed his power in a decisive engagement along the Kalka River. In the aftermath Toqtamish took Mamai's camp, his treasury, his wives and beys, and the rest of his troops. Mamai fled for his life, making his way to Caffa, where the Genoese took him captive and executed him in the name of Toqtamish Khaan.        By 1381 Toqtamish was master of the Golden Horde, and set about reminding everyone of the order of things. The Rus' princes reaffirmed their submission, with even Dmitri Donskoi, the victor of Kulikovo, promptly sending gifts for Toqtamish, his wives and his princes. But their tardiness in submitting in person brought Toqtamish to shorten the leash. The Rus' had grown too haughty over the last two decades, and Toqtamish surprised them with a sudden and horrific onslaught.  The Prince of Ryazan' saved his city with a last moment surrender. Other cities were not so lucky. Dmitri Donskoi had hoped to raise an army, but losses after Kulikovo were too great, the princes unwilling to follow Dmitri to such certain doom. In the end Dmitri was forced to flee Moscow before Toqtamish encircled the city. After three days, on the 26th of August 1382,  the city was stormed, sacked and burned. Numerous others followed suit.        Dmitri Donskoi was forced to send his son Vasili as hostage to the Horde, and paid heavy tribute. Once more Moscow minted coins in the name of the Khan, and once more Dmitri collected taxes for him too. Though Dmitri had his revenge on the Prince of Ryazan' with a vicious attack, the victor of Kulikovo died in 1389, only thirty years old.        Now master of the lands of Jochi, Toqtamish set about re-strengthening the Horde. The internal stability, as the Horde enjoyed 10 years of relative peace after Toqtamish took Sarai, did wonders for internal trade and movement, coupled with the lessening of the plague impact. He enacted monetary reforms, expanding the centres which minted coins and a lighter standard for silver dirhams, which in the opinion of researchers like Nedashkovsky, was a recognition and response to inflation.  When the bey Bekbulat tried to declare himself khan in Crimea, Toqtamish was able to come to agreement with him and reach a peaceable solution.  Khwarezm and its Sufi-Qonggirad Dynasty, which Tamerlane had considered his subjects, now recognized Toqtamish as overlord and minted coins in his name from 1381 onwards. On the western frontier, the loss of lands to Lithuania was halted when Toqtamish won a victory over the Lithuanians at Poltava in 1382, and forced them to continue paying tribute for the lands they had already taken from the Horde. From Toqtamish's point-of-view, this was essentially making them his vassals, though the Lithuanians did not quite see it like this. Nonetheless, the Khan retained generally stable relations with the states along his border.   Toqtamish also looked abroad. In distant Moghulistan Toqtamish established relations with Qamar al-Din, the effective ruler of the eastern Chagatai lands. In 1385 he opened contact with the Mamluks of Egypt, the first time in ten years diplomatic contact was made. He did not make the mistake of invading Azerbaijan, but instead formed a treaty of friendship with its ruler, Sultan Ahmad Jalayir. And this became quite the issue, for shortly after this treatment was made, Tamerlane invaded Azerbaijan and forced Ahmad Jalayir to flee Tabriz.    Perhaps Tamerlane had been unaware of the treaty between Toqtamish and Sultan Ahmad, but it seems to have been the evolution of the ever-more fraught relationship between the two. Toqtamish Khan and Emir Tamerlane were already on roads to argument with both claiming the lands of Khwarezm. Tamerlane, now with a puppet Il-Khan, made a show of restoring the former lands of the Ilkhanate; just as Toqtamish was making a claim to restoring former Jochid lands in the Caucasus. But there was another ideological aspect at play. As we've emphasized already, Toqtamish was very proud of his Chinggisid ancestry, and appears to have a particular disgust for pretensions of non-Chinggisids to rule. Tamerlane's presentation of himself as a supreme lord, while also walking around with a bundle of Chinggisid puppets, was an insult Toqtamish could not idly abide. The Golden Horde and Timurid empire lay beside each other like two sharks, in a tank too tight for the both of them. Both rulers simply may have seen confrontation as inevitable, the presentations of both stretching past what the other anticipated, and both expected antagonism.    It was Toqtamish who launched the first blow. After Timurid forces withdrew from Azerbaijan, Toqtamish attacked in late 1386, taking Baku, Tabriz, and Nakhchivan. Then in 1387, Toqtamish spun around the Caspian and Aral Seas, and in conjunction with Qamar al-Din of Moghulistan, Toqtamish took Tashkent and Qarshi before besieging Bukhara and Tamerlane's capital of Samarkand.     Once Toqtamish withdrew, Tamerlane quickly retook Khwarezm, sacking Urgench in 1388 with a massacre to invoke those of Chinggis Khan. Immediate reprisals against Toqtamish were halted by rebellions in Khurasan and a retaliatory campaign in Moghulistan against Qamar al-Din. Once dealt with, Tamerlane could begin extensive preparations for an invasion of the Golden Horde, spending months assembling a large army and supplies collected from across his empire. After a series of feints, Tamerlane set out unexpectedly early in January 1391. Eyeing Tamerlane after several months of marching, Toqtamish felt he knew Tamerlane's plan. Anticipating that the Emir would cross the Ural River at Kurk-qul, Toqtamish ordered his army to gather there. In one of the surprise maneuvers he so loved, Tamerlane darted in a different direction; before Toqtamish's full force had even gathered, he learned Tamerlane had crossed further upriver. Toqtamish retreated lest he be outflanked, and his forces who arrived late were set upon by the Timurids.   But despite this, Tamerlane was playing in Toqtamish's lands, and was no man of the steppe. Toqtamish drew Tamerlane deeper into the steppe, and in the process began to starve his large army. Parties sent out to forage were ambushed by Toqtamish's warriors, and the Khan tried to burn the grasslands before the Timurids, though the wet spring hampered this. Knowing his starving men would soon be at their limit, Tamerlane rallied with men with  a large hunting expedition and glamourous review of the troops, while sending his son, Omar-Sheikh Mirza with 20,000 swift riders to overtake Toqtamish and force him to battle, allowing the main force to catch up to the Khan. The ploy worked, and Toqtamish was forced to draw up at the Kondurcha River on June 18th, 1391.    The two massive armies arrayed themselves in large, crescent formations. Both forces were largely horse archers, light and heavy cavalry, with Tamerlane bringing infantry from his Central Asian cities and as far as Badakhshan, and Toqtamish infantry from the Horde's urban centers. Tamerlane strengthened his wings with units staggered behind them to protect against encirclement, and commanded the rearguard behind the centre. The Golden Horde struck first, attacking across the entire front, Toqtamish himself leading repeated charges. However, some of Toqtamish's flank commanders retreated, either due to treachery or miscommunication. With the Horde now stretched thin,  Tamerlane ordered a counter charge against Toqtamish's left and centre, which broke and the rest retreated. Though the field was won, Toqtamish and much of his army had escaped. Deprived of a total victory, Tamerlane withdrew, but not before appointing another Toqa-Temürid Temür Qutlugh, as khan, with the wily Edigü empowered too.   With Tamerlane spending the next few years darting hither and yon across Iran, Toqtamish recoupled his strength, and planned the next bout. When the Prince of Moscow, Dmitri Donskoi's son Vasili, wished to annex the city of Nizhnii Novgorod, he delivered a large bribe to Toqtamish which the khan was happy to put to use. Gifts and messengers went across the world as Toqtamish built an anti-Timurid alliance. Old allies like the Mamluks and Jalayirids, but also other Turkic states with whom the Horde had had no ties with before, such as the Ottomans and Qaraqoyunlu, the so-called Black Sheep Turkomans.  Tamerlane was hardly blind to it, and engaged in his own diplomacy to dissuade such a coalition from forming. But Tamerlane's political capital was spent. Watching Tamerlane's movement, Toqtamish placed his own army north of the Caucasus. The two sent envoys to one another in a final diplomatic effort, to no avail, and Tamerlane marched into the steppe in the first months of 1395.   This time he caught Toqtamish along the Terek River in April 1395, near Grozny in Chechnya. The Golden Horde controlled the north bank of the closest ford and unwilling to storm it, Tamerlane marched upstream, with Toqtamish mirroring him for three days. According to a Spanish envoy to Tamerlane's court, Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo, on the third night, the women and servants in Temur's camp donned armour and continued on, while the main force swiftly doubled back in the darkness and crossed the now unguarded ford. It didn't take Toqtamish long to discover the ruse, but it was too late: Tamerlane's army deployed on their side late on April 14th. Anticipating a night attack, Tamerlane ordered a moat dug around his camp. Toqtamish's forces skirmished along the edges of the moat, playing instruments and shouting, keeping Temur's army up with expectations of an assault. But Toqtamish held the main army back, resting them.   On the morning of the 15th, they formed up. Again they brought massive armies, and Tamerlane increased the size of his rearguard in expectation of encirclement. Toqtamish opened the battle, his right falling upon Temur's left rearguard. Tamerlane ordered the left wing to assist, and the Golden Horde's right retreated. Eager to press the assault, Tamerlane's left  pursued, leaving the security of the main army and were drawn into a feigned retreat. Surrounded, the Timurid left was decimated, the survivors colliding with Tamerlane's lines as a Jochid charge followed up. Battle order was lost. Tamerlane retreated to the fortified camp, Toqtamish's troops in hot pursuit and nearly captured the emir. With Tamerlane himself now under threat, his commanders acted promptly, forcing wagons together in an impromptu stockade. They held off the Horde long enough for the remainder of the army to form back up, and by evening counterattacked and forced back the Jochids, until nightfall separated them. So ended the first day of battle.   Discipline and composure were reestablished that night and the armies drew up early on the 16th. Toqtamish's army again began the battle, his left flank forcing back Tamerlane's vanguard, and soon Temur's right was nearly overcome as well. One commander ordered large shields forced into the ground, and from behind this barricade Tamerlane's archers dismounted and shot at the approaching Tatars, halting their advance. Temur reinforced them with several units from his bodyguard, repulsing the Jochids under this volley of arrows.   The second day ended better than the first for Tamerlane, but the old emir knew Toqtamish had him matched. That evening he made overtures to a discontented emir in Toqtamish's camp, Aktau, promising him rewards for promoting intrigue. By morning Aktau had abandoned the battlefield, making his way in time to Anatolia. Toqtamish was disheartened but determined, and formed up again, his left wing weaker with Aktau's absence. Toqtamish's centre and flanks all attacked Tamerlane, but Tamerlane had built up his forces on the right, and broke through the weakened Jochid left. Hard fighting continued until evening, Toqtamish valiantly trying to save the left and prevent encirclement, but Temur had the better of the day. Defeated, Toqtamish had an orderly retreat planned, sending one commander to the Caucasus in an effort to harass Tamerlane's rear. This gave Toqtamish enough time to escape while Temur crushed this army. However, Toqtamish could not rally another army, leaving his cities isolated before the might of Tamerlane.   Tamerlane pursued Toqtamish, but upon losing him decided to prevent Toqtamish from ever having strength to raise another army again. He then set about systematically dismantling the economy of the Golden Horde, thoroughly sacking every single one of the major cities of the steppe; from the Crimea trade cities, where only Caffa, due to a timely bribe escaped judgment. Tana, Ukek, Sarai to Hajji Tarkhan and more all were brought to ruin on Tamerlane's order, left smoldering husks as his army moved past. Despite some popular claims, Moscow was not attacked; the Rus' chronicles indicate only the town of ‘Elets suffered the wrath of the Emir. He declared another of Urus Khan's sons, Quyurchuq as Khan, and was convinced by Edigü to grant him yarliq to collect and summon his peoples; but realized too late that Edigü had tricked him, and used Tamerlane's patent and the vacuum of power to carve out his own lands.   By the summer of 1396, the steppe environment and some sort of epidemic was wreaking havoc on Tamerlane's troops, and he ordered the withdrawal to Samarkand, carrying with it the loot and treasures of the Golden Horde. The Horde's cities and trade had struggled through the upheavals of the fourteenth century, but Tamerlane had just delivered a death blow from which they would not recover.   Toqtamish was not done yet. For the next ten years he continued to seek to reclaim his throne, but now faced a stiff opponent in the form of Edigü. Ridding himself of Tamerlane's puppet, Edigü reenthroned Temür Qutlugh, in time followed by a host of other puppets, and directed the effort to crush Toqtamish once and for all. But as a man well accustomed to defeat and bouncing back from it, Toqtamish proved remarkably hard to kill, and simply would not take “no” for an answer. The most notable effort came in 1399. After allying with Vytautas the Great, Grand Duke of Lithuania, the two launched a joint-invasion of the Golden Horde. At the Vorskla River in 1399, Edigü and Temür Qutlugh inflicted a crushing defeat on the army of Vytautas and Toqtamish. Many Lithuanian princes were killed, and the fleeing Duke was chased as far as Kyiv, where only after hefty ransom was the city and its refugees spared. The Toqtamish-Lithuanian alliance continued though, and Toqtamish's son Jalal al-Din fought alongside Vytautas at the famous battle of Grünwald, or Tannenburg, against the Teutonic Order in 1410. Today, the Lipka Tatars in Lithuania and Poland are their distant descendants.   By 1405, the humbled Toqtamish was in Siberia, and reached out to his former mentor, Tamerlane. Tamerlane was then in the midst of a march on China, wintering in Otrar, and it seems his old heart was warmed by Toqtamish's offer of cooperation against Edigü. But nothing was to come of it; the old emir died that winter, and the next year Toqtamish fell in a skirmish against the forces of Edigü.   So ended the life of Toqtamish Khan, the final powerful khan over the whole of the Golden Horde. Though not a truly transformative or administrative monarch, the fact he instilled any sort of stability over the Horde, and led a remarkable effort at unifying it before its final disintegration, left him a powerful legacy.  In later Turkic histories Toqtamish is one of the most popular Jochid khans, and over the next century he was benchmark for others who wished to unify the Horde. In 1509, the Crimean Khan Mengli Giray, when sending a large army against Astrakhan during his own bid to reunify the Horde, is reported to have said “I shall be a Toqtamish.” And perhaps Toqtamish would have been successful, had he not faced Tamerlane in battle, perhaps the only man at the time with the strength to overcome the might of the Golden Horde. And for that, the Golden Horde paid dearly. Our next, and final episode on the Golden Horde, deals with its final disintegration, so be sure to subscribe to the Kings and Generals Podcast to follow.

"Learning to fly" van Pink Floyd is De Luchtvaartplaat, een zeer toepasselijke titel omdat de airlines in deze huidige situatie weer moeten leren hoe ze hun handel vlot moeten trekken, ze moeten creatief zijn om weer geld te verdienen. "It's like giving monkeys machine-guns" - Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary over airlines die staatssteun ontvangen NetJets herrijst. Dramatische cijfers tweede kwartaal voor Boeing. KLM stewardess vreest de Q2 cijfers van haar blauwe airline. Hoe vaak gaat de koning met de trein: wij hebben het antwoord. Een Nederlands familie-vliegveld viert een jubileum. Gefeliciteerd!

Dr. Kurt Alan VerBeek directs Calvin College's Justice Studies semester in Honduras. He has lived and worked on development and justice issues in Central America for more than 25 years. Kurt has conducted research on the role of faith in development, the effects of short-term missions, and the impact of the maquila industry on Honduras. He is also a co-founder and board member of the Association for a More Just Society (AJS), a Christian justice organization with a specific focus on Honduras. By standing up for victims of violence, labor and land-rights abuse and government corruption in Honduras, organizations around the world, including Transparency International and the United Nations, are increasingly recognizing AJS as a pioneer in achieving justice for the poor. AJS has faithfully worked in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Tegucigalpa and in the last eight years has witnessed a drop of over 75% in the neighborhood's crime rate. In addition to fighting against soaring crime in Honduran neighborhoods, AJS works towards peace and public security reforms on a national level. Recently, these efforts have included the signing of an agreement between AJS and the president of Honduras that makes AJS an official monitor of the president's anti-corruption plan.

Housewives of True Crime
Obsession. Seduction. Manipulation. The Curious Case of Joyce McKinney and the Manacled Mormon Case

Housewives of True Crime

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 1, 1970 61:26


In this week's episode of Housewives of True Crime, Tabitha and Gretchen talk about a case that is as unbelievable as it is insane. You have got to listen to this one because you simply cannot make this stuff up. Today, the focus is on Joyce McKinney, a former Miss World USA participant and her life of obsession, seduction, and manipulation.Born in 1949 in North Carolina, Joyce was a pageant girl growing up and went on to be a contestant at Miss World 1973. She was very attractive and was said to be the complete package with the full blond beauty queen bombshell look, a great smile and bubbly personality, and an IQ of 168 to go with it (so she claims).At 26, Joyce moved to Salt Lake City where she met Kirk, a Morman, who she fell in love with instantly. However, Kirk's mother doesn't approve of her not being Mormon. Joyce too is not impressed with Kirk's mother and fat shames her. “So basically, why I am explaining all of this is so you get a feel for this beautiful, eccentric, self-centered, total bitch that is Joyce McKinney.” – Gretchen (16:52)When Kirk goes away for missionary work, she doesn't reveal his whereabouts to Joyce. That's when Joyce's obsession goes into overdrive. She hires a private investigator who successfully locates Kirk in England. She also meets Keith who advises her to hire a pilot and a bodyguard to fly to the UK, rescue Kirk and bring him back. She does exactly that and flies to England where finds Kirk and sends Keith to the Church to bring him out to meet with her. She then takes Kirk to a cottage and seduces him for 3 days. Meanwhile, the church, worried that Kirk has suddenly gone missing, contacts local authorities and news outlets. When Kirk returns to the church, he changes his story, and says that he was tied up, seduced and raped for 3 days by Joyce. Both Joyce and Keith are arrested soon after and the media crowns Kirk, the Manacled Mormon.“Oh, he popped it up huh, after you tie him up” – Tabitha (26:26) “Joyce also doesn't believe raping a man is possible. She says you can't put a marshmallow in a parking meter.” – Gretchen (26:38)This became mainstream news and lots of reporters and people turned up at Joyce's bail hearing making her a celebrity in an instant. Joyce, being extremely resourceful, manages to get fake travel documents for both her and Keith and get stateside. This outrages the British media who in turn dig into her past and track down a man called Steve who eagerly spills the beans of Joyce's other embarrassing secrets.Joyce's obsession with Kirk doesn't end as she is arrested again in 1984 at Salt Lake City airport where Kirk works. After that incident, she lives quietly but becomes very paranoid of reporters trespassing on her property. She gets mauled by her guard dog and after that takes a liking to another dog, Booger who stays loyal to her until his death. Joyce takes that loss to heart and instead of losing Booger, flies to South Korea to get him cloned and comes back with 5 clones and moves to California.Joyce is arrested again in 2019 for a fatal hit and run of a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor. She is deemed unfit to stand trial and is sent to a mental hospital where she is today.In This Episode:(01:04) – Gretchen and Tab start off by talking about cocktails and crystal lights.(03:28) – Tabitha on taking notes unknowingly on the shared notepad.(04:38) – Tabitha talks about her experience at a fancy spa. (05:56) – Gretchen on back to driving her car and met Greg from the car dealership. (08:21) – Introducing this week's case from Alison Russel.(08:50) – Joyce McKenny – A quick introduction (10:02) – Gretchen outlines Joyce's upbringing and early life (10:35) – Tabitha and Gretchen talk about IQs (11:19) – On Joyce moving to Salt Lake City in 1975 at age 26. (13:05) – Joyce's dream comes true as she meets Kurk who drove a corvette.(14:10) – Joyce meets Kirk's mother, first impressions and fat shaming.(16:02) – Tabitha and Gretchen talk about Donne and Marie Osmond's appearance on the Joy Behar show. (17:10) – Kirk going on missionary work.(17:40) – Joyce hires a private investigator in California.(18:03) – Joyce meeting Keith, an architect who had it bad for Joyce.(18:25) – Discovering Kirk's whereabouts and deciding to fly to England with a pilot and bodyguard.(19:20) – How Joyce recruited the pilot and why he got onboard.(22:42) – Finding Kirk and the pilot's apprehensions.(23:55) – Keith meets Kirk, and he reunites with Joyce.(24:43) – Joyce takes Kirk to a cottage to seduce him.(25:51) – Tying up Kirk with handcuffs and ropes and making sweet love.(26:49) – Dancing at Hard Rock Café and Kirk discovering news about his kidnapping.(28:12) – Kirk goes back to Mormon church and changes his story, says he was kidnapped, strapped to bed, and raped for 3 days.(28:32) – Kirk makes news and becomes the Manacled Moron.(29:44) – Joyces reaction to the news.(30:04) – Joyce and Keith getting arrested after a setup.(30:45) – Joyce holding up a sign that catches media attention.(31:10) – On Joyce writing two letters and hiding within her.(33:00) – Joyce facing the media at her bail hearing and becoming a celebrity.(34:35) – On Joyce walking the red carpet and being photographed with John Travolta and Joan Collins.(35:41) – Joyce getting travel visas for herself and Kirk using fake birth certificates to fly back to the US.(37:18) – Media looking into Joyce's past and finding Steve.(38:18) – Steve spilling the tea on Joyce; free magazines.(40:51) – Putting a listening device in Joyce's dog's collar.(42:25) – Joyce learning of the Real McKinney story and almost committing suicide.(43:25) – Joyce fleeing the hotel after meeting her parents and biting her father.(44:00) – Joyce gets arrested in Salt Lake City in 1984 where Kirk worked.(45:25) – Tabitha and Gretchen on Joyce fat shaming Kirk's wife and making fun of Kirk's job.(47:00) – Joyce being paranoid afterwards and getting mauled by her dog.(48:00) – Joyce loses her dog Booger and flies to South Korea to get him cloned.(49:43) – A documentary on Joyce's life came out in 2010.(51:09) – Discussing Keith, Steve, and Kirk and their whereabouts. (52:34) – Joyce suing the makers of the documentary and being delusional.(54:20) – Gretchen views on how Joyce is portrayed in the documentary.(54:50) – Burglarizing charges against Joyce in November 2004.(55:39) – Joyce moves to California with her 5 cloned dogs.(56:11) – Tabitha and Gretchen talk about the condition of the cloned dogs.(57:02) – Joyces arrested again in 2019 in the fatal hit and run of a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor.(58:20) – Current location of Joyce at the mental hospital.(59:10) – Tabitha and Gretchen talk about a new movie being made on Joyce's life.Resources & LinksHWTC ContentWebsite: https://www.housewivesoftruecrime.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/housewivesoftruecrime/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/housewivesoftruecrime/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2BFNwyu4KhFpSGdQXS6PzwTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@housewivesoftruecrimeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/housewives-of-true-crime/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
