Technologies Of Genocide X Abdullahi Halakhe

Suchitra Vijayan speaks with Abdullahi Boru Halakhe in a conversation that traces the longue durée of exploitation and violence in the Congo from the colonial atrocities of King Leopold II to the resource wars that continue to devastate the region today. They unpack how the technologies of extraction and the politics of dispossession remain intertwined, shaping a global system in which Congolese land, labour, and life continue to underwrite the comforts of the Global North. Abdullahi situates Congo's crisis within the history of empire and its afterlives. He revisits the 19th-century “civilising mission” of Henry Morton Stanley and Leopold's personal ownership of the Congo Free State, connecting it to today's extraction of coltan, cobalt, and gold that powers Silicon Valley. From the uranium that fuelled the Manhattan Project to the minerals driving AI and green tech, he argues that the Congolese people have been made to pay for the world's progress with their blood and labour. The conversation then turns to Rwanda's complicity in the ongoing violence. Abdullahi unpacks how the legacies of the 1994 genocide, and the First and Second Congo Wars that followed, continue to shape Rwanda's sub-imperial role in the region. He details how Rwanda and Uganda act as conduits for resource extraction, exporting minerals that geologically do not exist within their borders, and how the profits of this trade flow through the Gulf states to Western markets. In this network, Congo becomes the epicentre of a global pipeline linking African sub-imperial powers, Gulf petrostates, and Western tech conglomerates: a chain of exploitation that transforms human suffering into industrial capital. The discussion broadens into an examination of how the same extractive and militarised logics underpin genocides and wars across the Global South from Congo to Sudan to Palestine. Abdullahi identifies the United Arab Emirates as a central malign actor, financing wars and shaping political economies of violence under the guise of development and modernity. What emerges is a picture of a world where the technologies of genocide — surveillance, securitisation, and resource militarisation — are integral to the global order. The episode closes with a meditation on history as resistance. For Abdullahi, liberation begins with reclaiming historical knowledge and refusing amnesia. From the Bandung Conference to the dreams of pan-African solidarity, he insists that history offers both warning and possibility: a reminder that despair is political, but so is hope. As Suchitra notes, this conversation marks a rare moment in the Technologies of Genocide series — one where history itself becomes a site of liberation, and knowledge a tool against the algorithmic erasure of human struggle. — Abdullahi Boru Halakhe is the Senior Advocate for East and Southern Africa at Refugees International. He is an African policy expert with over a decade of experience in security, conflict, human rights, refugee work, and strategic communications. He has advised organisations including the International Rescue Committee, International Crisis Group, Amnesty International, BBC, the EU, AU, USAID, and the UNDP. Abdullahi holds a Master's in International Security Policy from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.

When it comes to conservation, the Brattset Family Farm doesn’t just talk the talk - they graze! In Jefferson County, this mother-daughter duo, Weenonah Brattset and Kirsten Jurcek, have been rotationally grazing beef cattle since 2005. The entire family has transitioned the farm into a thriving ecosystem of healthy soil, clean water, and biodiversity. Their efforts to integrate cropland into perennial vegetation have made the land more productive. These are among the reasons they’re one of four finalists for the 2025 Wisconsin Leopold Conservation Award. This honor celebrates those who go above and beyond to care for the land, water, and wildlife. Kirsten Jurcek explains to Stephanie Hoff how their conservation journey took root. Yes, a good chunk of Wisconsin witnessed a killing freeze overnight. The same pattern will repeat Friday night before temperatures moderate. That's the word from Stu Muck.Ben Jarboe finds out that Wisconsin farmers didn't use a lot of propane to dry down their crop this year. Cheryl Lytle, Executive Director of Wi propane gas association says 70% of propane is used to heat homes in the state. Right now, she says it appears that prices will remain steady and supplies look ample. She also stresses the safety element that must be respected when using propane for anything.The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources(DNR) has just concluded their annual state water survey. With increasing presence of things like data centers in rural communities, Adam Freihoefer, Water Use Section Manager at the DNR, says it's important to look at water like you would any other commodity you're using on your property. Just like electricity. Meteor it so you know what you're using. He says Wisconsin just came off one of the highest levels of groundwater since records were kept back in 1920.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Berg is taking a page from his father's playbook on the 500 acres he owns in Lafayette County. Berg is one of the finalists in the Leopold Conservation award cycle. One of the reasons he's being considered is the care and management he deploys on the driftless region he oversees. The Pecatonica River flows through his property and has caused a lot of issues over the course of time. Berg has installed all kinds of land management strategies to try and keep soil in place when the Pecatonica overflows. Pam Jahnke gets the story. Warmer temps during the day - but the threat of freezing overnight - is what Stu Muck is focused on. Muck says he thinks a killing freeze will impact northern Wisconsin as soon as tonight. Brady Zuck is a beef producer in Ladysmith that's concerned about what Argentinian beef could do to his domestic beef market. He talks to Ben Jarboe about the undeniable fact that U.S. consumers are still buying beef despite higher prices. That's why he's frustrated that the Trump Administration is talking about bringing in that beef to lower consumer prices. Zuck tells Jarboe that he depends on these "good times" to allow him to weather difficult years down the road. Freezing temperatures are not good news for Wisconsin potato growers. Ryan Walther from Alsum Farms says a freeze could introduce some bad chemistry to potato storage. Cody Koster, dairy analyst with EverAg says reopening the Farm Service Agency side of USDA is breathing a little life into the marketplace this morning. Koster says the latest global dairy report cast a negative shadow on U.S. prices. The world price for cheese and butter continues to sink on growing supplies. Is there still holiday demand out there? Koster says he thinks there may be - but it has to show itself pretty soon to be able to actually be used during the holidays.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we highlight another farm being celebrated as a finalist for the Leopold Conservation award. Jill Welke talks to Marathon County farmer, Pat Socha. While growing crops, the Sochas utilize precision technology, no-till practices, and cover crops to reduce erosion and prevent nutrient losses. Buffer strips and a pollinator plot promote biodiversity. To manage timber production and wildlife habitat, selective harvests are carefully timed every 15-20 years without clear cutting. Pat is a founding member and board member of Eau Pleine Partnership for Integrated Conservation.The wind may surprise you today with its speed - and its chill! Stu Muck says we should prepare to protect ourselves against the elements through the end of the week at least.Cooper Humphries says the rain this week has given operators a chance to catch up on book work, repairs and sleep! Humphries says he's pleased with how the remain crop is standing versus cool, wet weather elements. His Wyffels Wednesday update also includes how more traders, analysts and other farmers are turning to their website for real time harvest update. Paid for by Wyffels Hybrids.Thomas Montsma from Brandon is one of the giant pumpkin growers that populates Wisconsin. He tells Kiley Allan that the dedication to growing the biggest pumpkin begins long before the frost is out of Wisconsin's ground. He explains that he starts plants in his basement and then moves them outside under mini-greenhouses to really start sizing up. With the global marketplace being less than friendly these days, many farms are choosing to store their 2025 crops and wait for better times. But is there enough storage out there to hold it all? Stephanie Hoff talks about that subject with grain merchandiser Alex Beaver out of southeast and south central Wisconsin. He tells us not just how the crop is looking coming in, but where it’s going with China boycotting beans. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wisconsin has four outstanding finalists for the annual Leopold Conservation award. Jill Welke introduces us to one. Andy Bensend has been practicing no-till for decades on his farmland in Barron County. Bensend says he's always looking for new ways to suppress weeds while disturbing the soil very little across his 3,800 acres. One of his advisors is actually a giant pumpkin grower that inspires him with unique ways of keeping weeds away. That nip in the air will stick around this week. Stu Muck says that daytime highs this week probably aren't going to get much higher than 50 degrees. Ashley Huhn from the Steffes Group joins Pam Jahnke to talk about unique sales they've consigned for the month. Huhn also notes that they still enjoy a live auction despite their heavy presence with their website. Paid for by Steffes Group. Offhand comments from the president have tanked cattle prices. While on Air Force One, President Trump said he was considering importing beef (and maybe cattle) from Argentina. Collin Woodall, CEO of the Nat'l Cattlemen's Beef Association says that's disappointing. Woodall says they've had a good working relationship with the administration and USDA, but this direction is a surprise. Markets are still reacting to that slip of the tongue on Friday. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing tells Pam Jahnke that without actual facts, traders react heavily to those kinds of social media posts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever carried a family secret so heavy that the only way to heal was to bring it into the open? On this week's episode of Love University, we sat down with Richard K. Lowy—international event producer, creative director, and now author of Kalman & Leopold: Surviving Mengele's Auschwitz (Jan 2025). Through deep, painstaking interviews with his father, Leopold, and his father's childhood friend, Kalman, Richard uncovers how two Hungarian-Jewish boys—friends by circumstance—survived Josef Mengele's experiments, served SS guards, endured unspeakable horror, and ultimately reunited more than five decades later. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: From stages to testimony. Richard had a successful career producing events for icons like Van Morrison and thought leaders such as Malcolm Gladwell, but says he reached a tipping point: the weight of his father's unwritten history was greater than the draw of any concert or summit. The bridge between film and book. His documentary, Leo's Journey, became the foundation for deeper psychological layers in the memoir—exploring post-traumatic growth, social support as a buffer, gallows humor, and how friendship can serve as a lifeline in extreme trauma. Friendship as survival, and the science behind it. In the camps, Kalman and Leopold became a “protective pair.” Psychological research supports the concept that in trauma zones, strong dyadic bonds (pairs) lower mortality risk. Richard also explores reciprocal altruism (mutual giving and protection between two people) and how it plays out in survival—each risking for the other, not out of obligation, but from shared trust. Humor, grief, and truth. The memoir includes moments of gallows humor—dark laughter amid horror. Richard says that while the book risks jarring readers, it was essential to preserve the emotional authenticity of his father's voice. Tragedy as a platform for inspiration. With his media appearances and public speaking, Richard's mission is to turn sacred memory into living purpose—raising witnesses, protectors, and storytellers to resist forgetting the unforgettable. Always remember Richard's lesson we need to learn: suffering doesn't just require remembrance—it demands witness, action, and connection.

Ilustríssima Conversa

A ficção pode ser a melhor forma de retratar a realidade, diz o psicanalista Leopold Nosek. Criar narrativas para dar sentido ao mundo é inevitável, ele diz, e essa é a base do que chama de método Marlow, inspirado no protagonista do romance "Coração das Trevas" e título do seu livro recém-publicado. "O Método Marlow: Ensaios Indisciplinares em Psicanálise" reúne ensaios recentes que abordam temas como os tipos de sofrimento psíquico relacionados ao espírito do tempo atual e textos que documentam a sua trajetória intelectual e clínica de décadas. Nesta entrevista, Nosek diz ver em seu consultório discursos que pouco avançam em elaborações mais abstratas, que refletem "patologias de pobreza imaginativa" –algo muito semelhante à avaliação que faz das ideologias do presente, que considera muito pouco sofisticadas. Para o autor, a subjetividade moldada por ideais como o empreendedorismo e a meritocracia faz com que os sujeitos, que se consideram seus próprios patrões, passem a competir com o próprio relógio: todos têm que ser campeões, ele diz, e, ao mesmo tempo, vivemos em um mundo cada vez mais marcado pelo medo e pela incerteza. Nosek também discutiu a atualidade da psicanálise. Para ele, não se trata de um campo anacrônico ou ultrapassado, mas de uma prática que, em vez de interpretar sonhos, pode ajudar os pacientes a construir sonhos em um mundo sombrio.

This week we're revisiting one of our older episodes all about the Kirtland's warbler. If you caught our interview with Peter Kaestner (episode 98), you might remember that he almost went birding on the morning of his wedding just to see this bird—so if Peter was that excited, you know it's going to be a good one. The Kirtland's warbler has a fascinating story, from populations threatened by the brown-headed cowbird—which we talked about last week—to an unexpected connection with the infamous murderers Leopold and Loeb. So whether you're here for the bird facts or a little true-crime twist, you're in for a treat.Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow: YouTube Instagram TikTok BlueSky

Success for a princely family in the Late Middle Ages has a lot to do with reproductive luck. Not having any offspring, in particular no male offspring is a bit of a knockout. But having too many sons that could be a major issue too.And in 1386 the Habsburgs struggled with exactly that problem. Their territory was already divided between an Albertine and a Leopoldine line. But then Leopold had four sons, bringing the number of archdukes of Austria to six, which is five too many.In this episode we will discuss how they managed to muck it up quite bad, in fact so bad, one of their number had to fall to his knees before the emperor, not once, not twice, but three times…Albertiner- Albrecht III (1349-1395) o Albrecht IV (1377-1404) § Albrecht V (II) (1397-1439) · Ladislaus Postumus (1440-1457)Leopoldiner- Leopold III (1351-1386) o Wilhelm (1370-1406) o Leopold IV (1371-1411) o Ernst der Eiserne (1377-1424) § Friedrich V (III) (1415-1494) § Albrecht VI (1418-1463) o Friedrich IV (1382-1439) § Siegismund der Munzreiche (1427-1496)The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

In the 18th century, modern Germany continued to be a patchwork of various duchies, which kept German nobles in the marriage rotation throughout Europe. So it was that two brothers - Ernst and Leopold - came into the world in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld in 1784 and 1790. One would become the King of Belgium, and one would be the legal father of Prince Albert, later the husband of Queen Victoria. We say "legal father" because apparently it's not 100% clear that Ernst's estranged wife, the long suffering Princess Louise, wasn't comforting her brother-in-law after the death of his wife, England's Princess Charlotte, whose death in childbirth prompted the Hanoverian race to reproduce that gave the world Queen Victoria.  It is, as they say, complicated.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE  9-5 GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Las Vegas as the Strip struggles with decline. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Jeff Bliss, Las Vegas Tourism Decline and Anaheim Development Jeff Bliss reports a significant decline in Las Vegas tourism, with a 12% drop in visitors, which he attributes to the city's nickel and diming practices by major corporations like MGM and Caesar's Palace, coupled with the rise of online gambling. Despite increased gaming revenue, the broader city economy, including restaurants and hotels not part of the strip, is suffering. Vegas resorts are now offering discounts and food credits to attract visitors. Nevada's unique lack of a state lottery, forcing residents to cross state lines for games like Powerball, also highlights a peculiar disadvantage. In Anaheim, a proposed skyway/gondola system aims to connect Disneyland, hotels, and sports venues. 915-930 Brandon Weichert, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, and Economic Impact Brandon Weichert and John Batchelor discuss artificial intelligence and quantum computing, with Weichert expressing optimism for AI's long-term economic benefits, though he finds a 7% GDP growth projection very optimistic. He believes AI will augment, not replace, human work, leading to positive productivity gains over time, especially in manufacturing and tech sectors. The conversation touches on AI's current competitiveness in generating novel research hypotheses, nearly matching humans in a Science magazine study, but humans still slightly lead in designing experiments. Weichertsees quantum computing as the next breakthrough 930-945  Professor Richard Epstein, Federal Power, National Guard Deployment, and University Funding Professor Richard Epstein discusses two cases involving the Trump administration's use of federal power. First, he analyzes Judge Charles Brier's ruling that Trump's deployment of National Guard troops for immigration enforcement in Southern California was partially illegal, citing the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. Epstein distinguishes between protecting federal interests and overstepping into local policing, as with traffic violations or raids far from Los Angeles. He criticizes the political polarization between Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom for hindering cooperation during emergencies. Second, Epstein addresses Judge Allison Burroughs' interim decision against Trump's freezing of Harvard's research funds over anti-Semitism allegations, warning of long-term damage to US medical research. 945-1000 CONTINUED Professor Richard Epstein, Federal Power, National Guard Deployment, and University FundingProfessor Richard Epstein discusses two cases involving the Trump administration's use of federal power.

Second, Epstein addresses Judge Allison Burroughs' interim decision against Trump's freezing of Harvard's research funds over anti-Semitism allegations, warning of long-term damage to US medical research. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Bradley Bowman, Chinese Military Parade and US Security Bradley Bowman discusses a recent massive Chinese military parade, noting the presence of Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un, with the president of Iran also in attendance. He views the parade as a demonstration of China's decades-long effort to build a military capable of defeating the US in the Pacific, highlighting the erosion of American security and increased likelihood of a Taiwan Strait conflict. Specific concerns include modernized hypersonic YJ seriesanti-ship missiles challenging US naval interception, the DF61 intercontinental ballistic missile aimed at the US, and a low-observable tailless drone for manned fighters.1015-1030 Conrad Black, Canadian Politics, Mr. Carney's Government, and Regional Challenges Conrad Black discusses the challenges facing Mr. Carney's new Canadian government, particularly the unrest in Alberta. Carney's extreme green views threaten Alberta's oil and ranching economy, leading to a significant separatist movement that could see the province join the United States if its energy exports aren't facilitated. Black notes that Carney has yet to reveal his plans to address this or the historical cultural and political challenges posed by Quebec, a wealthy province with aspirations for independence. Carney has been robust on national security, agreeing with President Trump that Canada needs increased defense spending.1030-1045 Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns. He notes low unemployment at 3.4% and no personal reports of job losses. The county's economy is buoyed by affluent retirees, who contribute millions to local restaurants and businesses, and a booming tourism sector attracting 10 million visitors annually. McTague highlights the importance of agriculture and the Amish culture as economic backbones. However, housing prices are significantly elevated, posing a challenge for younger, lower-wage workers. Growth is concentrated in suburban townships due to a superior healthcare industry and expanding data centers and pharmaceutical companies attracting professionals.1045-1100 CONTINUED Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer discusses Angelica Schuyler Church (1755-1814), a prominent figure during the American Revolution. Born to the influential Schuyler family in Albany, Angelica was well-educated, a trait uncommon for women of her time but typical for Dutch families. She eloped with John Carter (later John Barker Church), much to her family's dismay, a decision perhaps driven by love for the cosmopolitan Englishman. Angelica was deeply involved in the revolutionary cause, supporting the French army and maintaining a strong patriotic identity even while living in London after the war. She cultivated extensive connections with key figures like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Lafayette .1115-1130 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution 1130-1145 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer discusses 1145-1200 CONTINUED Molly Beer, Angelica Schuyler Church and the American Revolution Molly Beer . FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Henry Sokolski, Plutonium, Nuclear Proliferation, and International Debate Henry Sokolski discusses the global debate surrounding plutonium, a highly poisonous substance used in nuclear weapons, especially by China, South Korea, and Britain. He explains that plutonium can be extracted from nuclear power reactors and quickly used to make a bomb, similar to the Nagasaki weapon. Sokolski criticizes the US Energy Department for suggesting that new reactor designs like Natrium and Ollo can extract plutonium while leaving enough radionuclides to prevent bomb-making, a claim previously debunked by studies. He highlights proliferation risks, citing South Korea's historical attempts to use civil reprocessing to acquire nuclear weapons.1215-1230 Jack Burnham, Manhattan Project Lessons for AI and US-China Talent Competition Jack Burnham explains that China views the Manhattan Project as a key lesson in harnessing international talent for national strategic goals, particularly in artificial intelligence. The US successfully recruited theoretical physicists fleeing Nazi Germany, nurturing a scientific reserve for the atomic bomb project. Burnham notes that after World War II, the US continued to prioritize basic science funding, leading to its technological edge. However, he suggests the US is currently struggling with this, as funding issues and regulatory uncertainty are driving American scientists abroad and limiting foreign talent attraction while countries like China, the EU, France, and Canada actively recruit US scientists.1230-1245 Nathaniel Peters, The Nature of Murder and Evil in Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain" Nathaniel Peters reviews Andrew Klavan's "The Kingdom of Cain," which explores murder and evil through fiction and real-life examples.
