Son muchos los que están convencidos de que el Gobierno estadounidense ya ha decidido atacar Venezuela. Desconocemos si es cierto, pero si sabemos que en estos momentos hay un despliegue naval en el Caribe que no tiene precedentes desde la crisis de los misiles de 1962. La armada estadounidense ha posicionado 10 buques de guerra, 10.000 efectivos y el portaaviones Gerald Ford, el más grande y moderno del mundo. Según el presidente de EEUU semejante dispositivo se justifica por el papel de Venezuela como centro neurálgico del llamado "Cártel de los Soles", un cártel dedicado al narcotráfico que controla directamente el ejército venezolano. Pero, aparte de la caribeña, hay otras rutas por las que las drogas se abren paso hasta el mercado norteamericano y es sólo en el Caribe donde se ha realizado un despliegue de estas características. Es obvio, por lo tanto, que la Casa Blanca quiere algo más de naturaleza política como derrocar a Nicolás Maduro. Eso posibilitaría interrumpir el suministro de petróleo venezolano a Cuba y con ello debilitar al régimen castrista. La operación recuerda a una propuesta del ex asesor de seguridad nacional John Bolton allá por 2019 que no se llevó a la práctica. Ahora Marco Rubio, secretario de Estado, la ha recuperado y parece que quiere ir hasta el final. Rubio es de origen cubano y tiene una motivación personal para acabar con el régimen castrista, algo que ha perseguido desde sus inicios en política. A diferencia de lo que sucedió hace seis años, Rubio ha conseguido llegar mucho más lejos. El despliegue naval es sólo una parte de la operación en la que participa también la CIA y un regimiento de operaciones especiales, el 160, bien conocido por haber liquidado a Osama bin Laden. El objetivo es, por lo tanto, doble: acabar con Maduro y asfixiar a Díaz-Canel cortando el suministro de crudo venezolano. Desde 1999 Venezuela y Cuba intercambian petróleo por servicios médicos cubanos, pero la cooperación ha disminuido desde 2016 debido a la caída de la producción petrolera venezolana y los problemas económicos que atraviesa el país. Actualmente Cuba recibe unos 32.000 barriles diarios, sólo una tercera parte de lo que recibía en los años dorados de Hugo Chávez. Esto ha reducido la dependencia cubana, que ahora importa petróleo a precio preferente de México y Rusia. De este modo, incluso sin petroleo venezolano, la economía cubana podría resistir. El régimen es experto en administrar la miseria y, aunque las cosas están peor que nunca, el castrismo sigue reteniendo el poder sin apenas oposición en el interior. De hecho la pobreza refuerza el discurso oficial de un bloqueo inclemente por parte de Estados Unidos. Trump, asesorado por Rubio, seguramente evite una intervención directa ya que implicaría el riesgo de que esa intervención derive en una guerra asimétrica al estilo de las de Oriente Medio. En su lugar podrían optar por un golpe interno, operaciones encubiertas o presión militar para forzar la salida de Maduro. Hasta la fecha nada de eso ha funcionado ni en Cuba, ni en Venezuela, dos países en manos de sendas bandas criminales que resistirán lo que haga falta para no perder el negocio.

Für Menschen, die neu in die Stadt Luzern ziehen, gibt es eine neue Anlaufstelle. Am «Welcome Desk» erhalten diese alle nützlichen Informationen zum Leben in der Stadt Luzern. Das Projekt läuft in einer Pilotphase bis Ende 2027. Weiter in der Sendung: · Industrieunternehmen im Kanton Schwyz spüren die schwierige wirtschaftliche Lage rund um die US-Zölle. · Alle kleinen Selbstbedienungsgeschäfte sollen gemäss dem Luzerner Kantonsparlament von längeren Ladenöffnungszeiten profitieren. · Meggen will auch im nächsten Jahr die steuergünstigste Gemeinde im ganzen Kanton Luzern bleiben.

Hof- und andere kleine Selbstbedienungsläden im Kanton Luzern sollen künftig von längeren Ladenöffnungszeiten profitieren. Dies hat das Kantonsparlament entschieden. Bislang durften diese nur dann offen sein, wenn auch andere Läden, zum Beispiel Grossverteiler, in Betrieb waren. Weiter in der Sendung: · Ein Bio-Bauernbetrieb im Berner Seeland geht einen anderen Weg: Er bietet Flatrate-Abos an, bei denen die Kundschaft einen fixen Betrag zahlt, und dann so viel holen kann, wie sie möchte. · Neuenhof im Kanton Aargau hat zwar einen vollzähligen Gemeinderat, aber niemand will Gemeindeammann sein. Was nun? · Das letzte Selbstportrait von Paul Gauguin im Basler Kunstmuseum ist gar nicht nur von Paul Gauguin.

Die Organisatoren haben positive Rückmeldungen zur neuen, verlängerten Streckenführung des Swiss City Marathons von Luzern bis Alpnachstad erhalten. Sie wollen den Anlass mindestens zwei weitere Jahre so durchführen und dann auswerten. Weiter in der Sendung: · Lammschlucht im Entlebuch: Der erste Abschnitt der neuen Kantonsstrasse ist fertig. · Dauerbrenner im Luzerner Kantonsparlament: Der Rat debattiert heute wieder über Ladenöffnungszeiten.

Ein E-Bike muss aufgeladen werden, damit es den Berg hinauf hilft. Almut Siodlaczek über "Ladezeit" am Sonntag, die den Alltag leichter macht.

In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge habe ich mit Michael Zintl gesprochen, Geschäftsführer der DZG Metering GmbH aus Regensburg. Michael kommt ursprünglich aus der Automobilbranche, war viele Jahre bei Continental tätig und verantwortete dort den Bereich Sensorik. Seit zwei Jahren leitet er die DZG Metering, ein Unternehmen mit über 100 Jahren Erfahrung im Haushaltszählergeschäft, das sich seit 2020 erfolgreich auf eichrechtskonforme Messsysteme für Ladeinfrastruktur spezialisiert hat. Im Gespräch ging es um ein Thema, das für viele E-Auto-Fahrer:innen unsichtbar, aber essenziell ist: das Eichrecht. Dahinter steckt die Sicherstellung, dass beim Laden exakt die Energiemenge abgerechnet wird, die auch wirklich im Akku landet. Michael erklärte es einfach: „Der Endkunde möchte genau die Energiemenge bezahlen, die er tatsächlich erhalten hat – dafür ist der Stromzähler da.“ Die Geräte sorgen für Verbraucherschutz, Manipulationssicherheit und Markttransparenz. Jede Ladesäule, die in Deutschland betrieben wird, muss mit einem solchen eichrechtskonformen Zähler ausgestattet sein. Besonders spannend fand ich, dass es für den DC-Bereich (Schnellladen) anfangs gar keine Normen gab. DZG Metering entwickelte in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB) den ersten zugelassenen DC-Zähler – eine echte Pionierarbeit. Heute liefern sie unter anderem an große Hersteller wie Alpitronic, ABB und Kempower. Das Unternehmen bietet Zähler in verschiedenen Leistungsklassen an, von 200 kW bis hin zu über zwei MW, also auch für das Megawatt-Laden der Zukunft. Ein weiterer Punkt war die technische Weiterentwicklung: Durch das sogenannte Shunt-Prinzip erreicht DZG besonders präzise Messwerte mit einer Genauigkeit von maximal 0,5 Prozent Abeichung – aktuell ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Auch das Thema Transparenz wurde diskutiert: Das Open Charge Metering Format (OCMF) ermöglicht, dass jeder Ladevorgang digital nachvollzogen werden kann, vergleichbar mit einem digitalen Kassenbon. Michael betonte: „So kann der Endverbraucher genau prüfen, dass er nur das bezahlt, was er bekommen hat.“ Natürlich sprachen wir auch über Herausforderungen. Eine Nachrüstung alter Ladesäulen mit neuen, eichrechtskonformen Zählern ist komplex und kaum ohne Zulassungsverfahren möglich. Gleichzeitig gibt es politischen Druck, die Ladeinfrastruktur nicht auszubremsen. Michael brachte es auf den Punkt: Die Behörden wollen stärker prüfen, aber niemand will funktionierende Ladepunkte zurückbauen. Zum Schluss warfen wir noch einen Blick in die Zukunft. Michael wünscht sich pragmatischere Regelungen, etwa den Wegfall des physischen Displays am Zähler zugunsten moderner, digitaler Lösungen. „Nicht jeder braucht ein Display – oft wäre es effizienter, über Smartphone oder Bluetooth zu prüfen“, sagte er. Die neue MID-Richtlinie, die in zwei Jahren greifen soll, könnte genau das ermöglichen. Nun aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch mit Michael Zintl einsteigen.

Veckans avsnitt handlar om prestige. Har du någon gång varit med om att en chef eller kollega vägrar erkänna att ett beslut varit fel och behöver korrigeras? Är hierarkin på din arbetsplats större än i Downton abbey? Finns det chefer eller kollegor som hela tiden måste hävda sig genom att säga hur länge de har jobbat i branschen eller på arbetsplatsen?Det är tecken på att prestige står i vägen för både tillit, prestation och framgång. I det här avsnittet bjuder jag på några mer eller mindre kända praktexempel på där prestige fick allt att gå åt skogen. Varför missade man chansen att tillfångata bin Laden när man hade chansen? Hur kunde McDonalds misslyckas så totat med sin storsatsning för burgare för vuxna?Och hur kan ett vandaliserat bageri i Mexiko City få Frankrike att invadera landet med full styrka?Missa inte det här avsnittet där jag pratar om allt ifrån bakelsekriget till hur golfföretaget Callaway pga prestige förlorade en talang som senare skulle få deras konkurrent Taylormade att gå om dem som marknadsledare.

Greeley, Colorado, Stati Uniti. Nel 2010, un uomo di 50 anni con insufficienza renale cronica, una fedina penale sporca e una spada acquistata su un canale televisivo di televendite decide di fare qualcosa che nessun esercito al mondo era riuscito a fare: catturare Osama bin Laden. Armato solo di fede incrollabile, un paio di occhiali per la visione notturna e un'interpretazione personale dei sogni che faceva da bambino, Gary Faulkner attraverserà undici volte mezzo mondo per realizzare quella che lui definì la sua "missione per conto di Dio”.

      8. The Triumph, the Skepticism, and the Legacy of the Sisterhood Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Even with high-level attention on the bin Laden compound, the targeters faced continued doubt and hesitation from senior operational leadership, a symptom of the CIA's humiliation over 9/11 and the bad intelligence regarding WMDs in the Iraq War. Nevertheless, the "ground-level targeters" were "very close to 100% confident" in their precision, using detailed aerial imagery analysis, including counting the laundry on the line, to determine the number of people and families inside the compound. When the SEALs raided the compound, they were astonished by the precision of the targeters' intelligence. In retirement, key figures like Barbara Sude and Heidi August continued their lives. The women later gathered at a writers' retreat for a cathartic moment, drinking wine and reading aloud the memoirs of the men they had worked for, often "shouting with frustration." The book also notes that the character of Maya (from Zero Dark Thirty) was based on a single woman who left the agency unpromoted.

6. The 9/11 Failure and the Cold War Mindset Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Leading up to 9/11, the women of Alec Station had been repeatedly warning that al-Qaeda had the capability to attack the United States. On 9/11, the CIA learned of the attacks via CNN, confirming the women's "sick inevitability." While CIA Director George Tenet evacuated the headquarters due to the threat of a plane attack, the Counterterrorism Center staff remained at their posts, working 24/7 to prevent a second wave. The women faced a reckoning afterward, being blamed for failing to connect the dots, despite previous internal struggles to get their analysis published. Adding to the difficulty, the incoming Bush administration, composed largely of "Cold Warriors," struggled to recognize a stateless terror organization as a legitimate, existential threat, focusing instead on traditional state adversaries with armies and capitals. Furthermore, historical failures like the Waco incident made the Clinton administration hesitant to approve operations against bin Laden due to fears of collateral damage.

5. Alex Station, the Virtual War on Al-Qaeda, and the Struggle for Presidential Attention Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Following the 1993 World Trade Center attack and the fatal shooting of two CIA officers, the Counterterrorism Center created "Alec Station" (named after a CIA officer's son). Alec Station was a "virtual station" created during a period of CIA resource loss ("peace dividend"). It represented a novel collaboration of analysts and clandestine operatives working in the headquarters basement to track and understand Osama bin Laden's network. Women analysts, including Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude, developed new skills in "manhunting" and targeting, sometimes directing field operatives. Cindy Storer recognized that al-Qaeda was a meticulous worldwide organization, not a mere confederation. However, the group's key struggle was gaining traction: they faced resistance from senior leaders (like those on the Soviet desk who feared losing funding) and could not consistently persuade editors to include their warnings about bin Laden in the President's Daily Brief (PDB).

4. The Birth of the Counterterrorism Center and Early Warnings of Bin Laden Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Following the Cold War, the CIA lacked a clear mission. However, a terrifying series of terrorist incidents in the mid-1980s, including the 1985 Malta hijacking handled by Heidi August, led to the formation of the small, low-prestige Counterterrorism Center (CTC). Heidi, traumatized after calling the mother of a dead civilian victim, chose to devote her career to fighting terrorism. The CTC, located in an undesirable office, attracted an odd assortment of people, including future key figures like analysts Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude. Cindy Storer, initially relegated to the Afghanistan desk, was the first to recognize the threat posed by Arab jihadist fighters dispersing globally and being funded by a mysterious financier: Osama bin Laden. Despite gathering critical intelligence, the CTC's analysts (Directorate of Intelligence—DI) struggled to be heard, facing contempt from the clandestine spies (Directorate of Operations—DO) and difficulty publishing their findings due to required corporate buy-in.

7. Targeting and Tragedy: The Death of Jennifer Matthews and the Courier Hunt Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA In the post-9/11 era, finding bin Laden became the CIA's primary targeting task. Jennifer Matthews, a dedicated member of Alec Station since the mid-1990s, was chief of station at Khost, Afghanistan, providing targeting information for drone attacks. In 2009, Matthews and several other CIA officers were tragically killed when a source they believed would lead them to bin Laden revealed himself to be a suicide bomber (sent directly from bin Laden). This galvanized the hunt. Since bin Laden avoided 21st-century technology, targeters like Rachel and Maya (pseudonyms) had to develop methods to trace him indirectly. This involved sifting old data, using new technology, and tracing the human relationships of his couriers—the people who used technology and communicated with the inner circle. They ultimately identified Ibrahim Saeed Ahmed, bin Laden's courier and bodyguard, and began tracking his movements.

„Wenn ihr als Kino kein Popcorn habt, dann macht den Laden dicht. Ganz ehrlich, dann könnt ihr es lassen.“ Das, meine lieben 360-Grad-Lover, war Till Reiners nach einem - sagen wir – sehr, sehr enttäuschenden Kinoerlebnis. Wie daraus der unangenehmste Fail der Woche und damit eine neue Kategorie wurde, hört ihr hier.

When Marion pops up on Zoom with her curls blown out to smooth newscaster perfection, it's a hot topic and one that offers a perfect lead-in to the first poem up for discussion, “Your Hair Wants Cutting” by this episode's featured poet, Michael Montlack. The three poems we're considering take inspiration from the Mad Hatter character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. We discuss, Slushies, how much, if any, contextual framing is needed to guide the reader when poems refer to a character who resides in our collective imagination. We also talk about local and regional idioms, and for Kathy, how difficult they are to unlearn (shout out to Pittsburgh!). Marion accidentally bestows a new nickname on Jason. Dagne has an opinion about how speech is rendered within a poem: italics or quotation marks. She's team italics, Slushies, which are you? While thinking about the line in these poems; Marion refers to Jason's excellent essay on the history and theory of the line from his book Nothingism: Poetry at the End of Print Culture. Another poem in the batch has Marion recalling Jason's poem “Wester.” As always, thanks for listening! At the table: Dagne Forrest, Samantha Neugebauer, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, and Lisa Zerkle Michael Montlack's third poetry collection COSMIC IDIOT will be published by Saturnalia. He is the editor the Lambda Finalist essay anthology My Diva: 65 Gay Men on the Women Who Inspire Them (University of Wisconsin Press). His work has appeared in Poetry Daily, Prairie Schooner, Cincinnati Review, Lit, Epoch, Alaska Quarterly Review, Phoebe and other magazines. In 2022, his poem won the Saints & Sinners Poetry Contest for LGBTQIA+ poets. He lives in NYC and teaches poetry at NYU and CUNY City College. https://www.facebook.com/michael.montlack https://www.instagram.com/michaelmontlack (website) https://www.michaelmontlack.com/ “Your Hair Wants Cutting” my grandmother would say, sitting there at her window, monitoring the restless crows. Her robe nearly as ancient as she. Since when are you concerned with fashion? I once dared to ask. I was seventeen, restless as those crows. I knew she wasn't talking about my curls. Plumage, she used to call it when I was a boy. Sit down, little peacock—your hair wants cutting. Even then I knew it was a cutting remark. Laden. Throwing cold kettle water on my fire. I reminded myself that she was a widow. And was glad that at least I would never cause a woman to suffer such grief. I reminded her how I donned a hat most days. She stared me up and down, her eyes like the ocean's green cold. Clever. Your kind seems to have a clever answer for everything … I swallowed the indictment. Why not make yourself useful, she said, putting down her tea cup, eyeing the trash on her tray. I was glad to oblige, happy to depart before she could notice the low waist of my trousers, let alone the height of my heels. Muchier Picture me on a grand terrace, tipping my hat. Crossing a bridge over the river of defeat— it's definitely a state of ascent. Being owed rather than owing. A blatant triumph against the conventional. A la Lord Byron. A monocle without glass, worn for style. It's an advance for a memoir about a life you haven't yet lived. Bound to be lost on some but admired by all. Likely absent during the lessons on common subjects: Algebra, Classic Literature, Biology. More devoted to the mastery of the quaintest arts: Porcelain, Calligraphy, Tapestry Weaving, Drag. As ephemeral and ethereal as a bubble. It's not something you adopt. It's something that abducts you. Enviers call it utter madness, but the muchiest of the muchier won't even fathom the phrase. Inheritance There wasn't much to leave—my sister, also suspiciously unwed, took the cottage and the wagon. But our mother had insisted that the tea set should be mine. “It's dainty and a bit chipped. Like you,” she chortled on her deathbed. I failed to see the humor but took it just the same. Knowing my sister would likely surrender it to the church, where the nuns might put it to good use but never appreciate its finery, as that would be vanity. I much rather hear my motley chums slurp from it as they sit steeped in my ridiculous riddles. I never admitted how I crafted them at night, alone in bed, in the quiet twilight, the hour I imagined reading bedtime stories to the children I never had. An apprentice son would've been nice, to hand down millinery techniques. Instead I had the ghost of one, there in my workshop, where imaginary fights erupted over whose turn it was to sweep up the felt or sharpen the scissors. Of course, I appeared mad, a much better impression to leave than the riddle of my bachelorhood. Sometimes I wanted to smash the porcelain cups, chuck them at that bloody caterpillar stinking up the forest with his opium. Why not? There was no one to inherit my pittance. No one to be trusted with my legacy… until the appearance of this girl, at once strange yet so familiar. I quite liked her. The way she held her own with me. If ever I had a daughter, I would have wanted her to be as brave as she. Defending the poor Knave of Hearts, accused of stealing the Queen's tarts. There in that courtroom, I almost lost my head but finally found a beneficiary.

Knapp ein Viertel der Buchhandlungen in Deutschland musste in den letzten fünf Jahren schließen, meldet das Statistische Bundesamt. Im Jahr 2023 gab es noch rund 3.000 Bucheinzelhandlungen in Deutschland – das ist ein neuer Tiefstand. Mögliche Gründe dafür sind steigende Mieten und Personalkosten und das veränderte Kaufverhalten, Stichwort Onlinehandel. Buchhandlungen haben Nachwuchsprobleme Dass es anders gehen kann, zeigt die Karlsruher Stephanus Buchhandlung: Von dort aus haben die Buchhändler*innen Jörg Mattusch und Katharina Bruns seit 2023 ein Netz aus Buchhandlungen mit 14 Läden geknüpft. „Wir haben festgestellt, dass eigentlich das ganz große Problem ist, dass gute, kleine Buchhandlungen, die sehr gut von den bisherigen Inhaber*innen geführt werden, keine Nachfolge finden“, so Jörg Mattusch in SWR Kultur. Das liege daran, dass kaum noch jemand das finanzielle Risiko auf sich nehmen wolle, einen kleinen Laden selbst zu führen. Karlsruher Buchhandlung mit eigenem Modell Mit ihrer MB Buch & Medien GmbH kaufen Jörg Mattusch und Katharina Bruns genau solche Buchhandlungen auf, die zwar gut laufen, aber keine Nachfolge finden. Ihr Anliegen sei es nicht, Buchhandlungen unter ihrem Namen zu formieren, sondern dafür zu sorgen, dass diese „weiterhin mit ihrem Namen und ihrem Konzept so bestehen bleiben“, so Jörg Mattusch. Das Ziel: Die Buchhandlung so zu erhalten, wie sie sich in der Region bewährt hat. Konzept: Kaufen und bewahren Doch zu zweit werden Jörg Mattusch und Katharina Bruns das Buchhandlungssterben nicht stoppen können. Heutzutage sind Buchhandlungen immer mehr weniger allein Verkaufs- oder Beratungsräume. Dank Lesungen und anderen Veranstaltungen werden sie immer mehr auch zu sozialen Treffpunkten in einer Stadt, beobachtet Jörg Mattusch. Buchhandlungen als Kulturräume Daher wünscht sich Jörg Mattusch mehr Unterstützung seitens der Politik. Denn viele inhabergeführte Buchhandlungen fungierten mittlerweile als Ersatz für die fehlende Unterstützung der Gemeinden, die sich ein kulturelles Angebot einfach nicht mehr leisten könnten. „Da übernehmen dann die kleineren Buchhandlungen einfach die kulturelle Stelle mit Lesungen, mit Veranstaltungen, mit Leseförderung, mit Schulen, mit Projekten. Und ja, das ist einfach schwierig mittlerweile mit den Kommunen hier eine so gute Zusammenarbeit zu finden, dass das ausreichend gefördert wird“, so Mattusch.

We saw in the last episode, that Britain's involvement in the NATO intervention in Kosovo could be regarded as part of an ‘ethical foreign policy', since its objective, many felt, was humanitarian, though others disagreed. Another military action, to support the government of Sierra Leone against rebellion, was more clearly humanitarian rather than self-serving, and so easier still to defend on ethical grounds.All this, together with a strong economy and some reforms that were beginning to bear fruit, in the social, educational and health arenas, but Blair's Labour government in a strong position. So it called a general election in June 2001, when it would set out to do something the party had never achieved before: win a Commons majority, serve out a term in office, and then win another.And Blair pulled it off. Indeed, not only did Labour win, it took another landslide majority.Celebrations didn't last long though. Within three months of the election win, terrorists attacked the US in the atrocity we now call 9/11. An attack that serious led to a massive response, but not against the nation from which most of the terrorists and their leader, Osama bin Laden, came, which was Saudi Arabia, but against the nation that offered bin Laden refuge, Afghanistan.That rather questioned the extent to which Labour was pursuing a foreign policy that could be called ethical. However, far worse was still to come. That, though, we'll see in the next episode.Illustration: the Twin Towers ablaze on 9/11, 11 September 2001.

Es war ein grauer Nachmittag, das Leben sah aus, als hätte es vergessen, den Kontrastregler hochzudrehen. Esel und Teddy fuhren die Landstraße entlang, auf dem Rückweg von einem Podcastertreffen – irgendwo zwischen Kreisverkehr und Nirgendwo – auf der Suche nach einem Imbiss, der noch Vertrauen in warme Würstchen hatte. Da stand er plötzlich: ein kleiner, windschiefer Krämerladen. Das Schild über der Tür hing schief und trug in verblichenen Buchstaben das Wort „Morpho“. Der Schmetterling daneben war aus Metall, aber seine Flügel bewegten sich im Wind. Er sah fast lebendig aus. Drinnen roch es nach vergangenen Jahrzehnten. Zwischen verstaubten Regalen, in denen Bonbontüten und Batterien einander Gesellschaft leisteten, stand sie: eine große, blaue Box mit einem leuchtenden Bildschirm und einem Schlitz wie ein gieriger Mund. Darauf stand: „Erkenne dein Potenzial. 1 Euro.“ „Das ist ja wie ein Glückskeks mit Stromanschluss“, murmelte Teddy und warf eine Münze ein. Ein Summen, ein Brummen, ein Licht – die Maschine vibrierte, als würde sie denken. Dann spuckte sie eine kleine, blaue Karte aus. Teddy zog sie vorsichtig hervor. Darauf stand in klaren Lettern: „Wanderer – Der Weg ist heute die Antwort.“ „Passt“, sagte Teddy leise. „Ich bin ja schon unterwegs.“ Esel nickte, drückte eine eigene Münze in den Schlitz. Wieder das Brummen, das Summen, das leise Klicken. Seine Karte roch nach Druckerwärme und Schicksal. „Ingenieur – Mach etwas daraus, das nur du kannst.“ „Na super“, knurrte Esel, „ich darf was reparieren.“ Aber noch bevor sie lachen konnten, ruckte die Maschine ein letztes Mal. Eine dritte Karte erschien, leicht zerknittert, als wäre sie nicht ganz freiwillig gekommen. Darauf stand nur: „Zwecklos, aber glücklich.“ Teddy und Esel sahen sich an. Der Wind wehte durch die offene Tür. Der Krämerladen war still. Dann lachten sie – erst leise, dann laut, dann so, dass die Regale klirrten. Als sie wieder auf die Landstraße einbogen, war der Laden hinter ihnen verschwunden. Nur ein leerer Parkplatz blieb, und im Staub glitzerte ein Stück Papier, auf dem in blauer Tinte ein Schmetterling gezeichnet war.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela kick off with playful headlines from celebrity news about Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman. The hosts turn to the much-hyped release of the Amelia Earhart files, treating the century-old mystery as a jumping-off point while questioning why other long-awaited files remain sealed. The conversation then moves to digital ID proposals in the U.K., where the group unpacks concerns about government control, surveillance, and social credit systems. The hosts also weave in reflections on pop culture, music history, and generational shifts. Later, they examine the role of the Anti-Defamation League, discuss New York mayoral politics, and explore surprising revelations about Osama bin Laden's media consumption. International activism enters the mix with Greta Thunberg's involvement in a pro-Palestine flotilla, highlighting tensions between political movements and cultural values. The episode closes with film reviews, from Weapons to Sinners, along with conversation about the ethics of global comedy festivals and the compromises performers face.

ROGGIO Bill Roggio, associated with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, discussed the recent news regarding a hostage situation involving the Taliban. Key details from Roggio's segment: Hostage Release: Secretary of State Rubio reportedly won the release of an American citizen who had been held hostage by the Taliban in Kabul for nine months. The citizen was being held "illicitly and outrageously." The Cost (The "Twist"): Roggio noted that the crucial detail—the "twist"—is what the US may have given up in order to secure the return of its own citizen. The Likely Swap Target: It is very likely that the exchange involves an individual held at Guantanamo named Muhammad Rahim, an al-Qaeda operative. Significance of Muhammad Rahim: According to US intelligence: Rahim was close to Osama bin Laden. He helped bin Laden escape from Tora Bora. He served as Mullah Omar's driver. Mullah Omar was identified as the founder and former head of the Taliban. US Military Stance and Prediction: Muhammad Rahim is an individual whom the US military does not want to release. Despite this, Roggio predicted it is very likely that Rahim will be "walking free sometime soon." Negotiation Dynamics: Roggio concluded that in these types of negotiations, there is "always a cost," and the Taliban usually wins.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk They frame Kirk’s death as a political assassination, comparing it to historical killings of JFK, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The hosts emphasize concerns about political violence, the dangers of polarization, and left-wing reactions online. They highlight messages of unity from unexpected voices on the left, such as Cenk Uygur, while contrasting that with those celebrating Kirk’s death. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Cruz details violence by Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa, citing statistics of tens of thousands of Christians killed and thousands of churches destroyed. He introduces the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which seeks to: Classify Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” for religious freedom. Keep Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa labeled as terrorist groups. Sanction Nigerian officials complicit in persecution. The discussion connects this to broader issues of U.S. foreign policy, criticizing past administrations (especially Obama and Biden) for not doing enough to defend persecuted Christians. Tucker Carlson’s controversial statements Carlson’s remarks about offering condolences to Osama bin Laden’s family, questioning Hamas’s designation as a terrorist group, and sympathetic portrayals of Russia and Iran are strongly criticized. Cruz and Ferguson accuse Carlson of moral relativism, equating his views with those of progressive politicians like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. They reaffirm that groups like Hamas, al-Qaeda, and ISIS are terrorist organizations, citing both U.S. and international designations as well as historical attacks.

Robert O'Neill recounts the raid that killed Osama bin Laden: training, on-the-fly tactics, the moment of contact, and the aftermath. He credits the CIA targeter behind the lead, details Fort Campbell debriefs, and addresses Extortion 17 and conspiracy claims.

Robert O'Neill addresses conspiracies around Osama bin Laden's death, Pakistan's role, and the rapid Zero Dark Thirty movie release. He breaks down intel myths, kidney failure rumors, and what really happened after the SEAL raid in Abbottabad.

Robert O'Neill reveals why bin Laden photos remain classified, his view on releasing them, and what images were actually taken. He explains the risks of propaganda, Monday-morning quarterbacking, and how SEALs prioritized survival and mission success over evidence.

Alleged Targeting of Christians by the Biden Administration The discussion focuses on a task force created under former President Trump, chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi, which claims to have uncovered numerous instances of anti-Christian bias within federal agencies during the Biden administration. The report accuses agencies like the Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Labor, and others of mishandling or denying religious exemptions, imposing large fines on Christian universities, targeting religious groups through the DOJ and FBI, and showing favoritism toward non-Christian religions. Cruz and Ferguson frame this as government “weaponization” against Christians, emphasizing violations of First Amendment rights and calling for accountability, firings, and possible prosecutions. Criticism of Tucker Carlson’s Recent Positions The second half shifts to sharp criticism of Tucker Carlson, arguing he has become increasingly extreme and “unrecognizable.” They cite his comments about offering condolences to Osama bin Laden’s family, questioning whether Hamas is a terrorist group, and sympathetic tones toward authoritarian leaders like Putin and the president of Iran. Cruz and Ferguson strongly denounce these stances as “bizarre,” “unhinged,” and morally wrong, stressing that groups like Hamas and leaders like bin Laden should unequivocally be condemned. They frame Carlson as betraying conservative principles and aligning with rhetoric from figures like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib, which they see as evidence of his spiral away from mainstream conservatism.

PREVIEW: IMF BAILOUT: Colleague Joseph Sternberg of WSJ comments on the hypothetical that the IMF moves to bailout the debt-laden economies of London. More. 1901 THE ROYAL EXCHANGE AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND Comment on Excerpt from "P-STERNBERG-IMF-9-2.mp3": This segment introduces a significant debate concerning the International Monetary Fund (IMF) potentially bailing out the French and British governments. The idea is presented as if these major economies were small countries like Argentina, struggling and "out of whack". Joseph Sternberg explains the necessity and purpose of this debate, ultimately clarifying that both France and Britain are considered "too big to be bailed out" by the IMF. The segment sets the stage for understanding why such a notion, despite its apparent unfeasibility, has become a topic of discussion in London and Paris. Comment on Excerpt from "P-STERNBERG-IMF-9-2.mp3": This excerpt clarifies why the notion of an IMF bailout for France and Britain is largely symbolic rather than practical. The reality is that these countries are "far too big" for the IMF to realistically bail them out, despite its approximately one trillion US dollars in lending capacity. This capacity is sufficient for smaller economies like Pakistan or Greece, as seen 15 years ago with the Greek bailouts. However, for economies ranked as the sixth and seventh largest globally, with immense debt piles, the IMF cannot provide meaningful external assistance. Therefore, the crux of the debate in these countries is not about the feasibility of a bailout, but rather about the "policy conditions" the IMF would impose if such a bailout were to occur.
