Podcasts about Lusitania

Lusitania była brytyjskim parowcem transatlantyckim. Szybkim, nowoczesnym, a według niektórych – niezatapialnym.Podobno! Bo jednak została zatopiona 7 maja 1915 roku, po storpedowaniu przez niemiecki okręt podwodny. Wokół tej tragedii zaczęły narastać pytania: dlaczego Lusitania w ogóle wypłynęła w swój ostatni rejs, mimo że nawet ambasada niemiecka ostrzegała o pływających u wybrzeży Anglii niemieckich U-Bootach? Co spowodowało drugi wybuch na pokładzie? Co naprawdę przewoziła Lusitania? Dlaczego zatonęła w zaledwie 18 minut od trafienia torpedą? I wreszcie – dlaczego, mimo że minęło już ponad 100 lat od katastrofy, wciąż nie można dokładnie zbadać wraku ani odtajnić wszystkich dokumentów związanych z tą tragedią? O tym wszystkim w Szkole Bardzo Wieczorowej Marek Mierzwiak rozmawiać będzie z Urszulą Pawlik.

The BiG Scuba Duo, Gemma and Ian chat to Barry McGill.  Barry McGill is a deep wreck photographer and CCR instructor trainer with Indepth Technical. His main area of focus is exploration of deep-water shipwrecks around the Irish coastline, and he has been fortunate enough to discover and explore many significant previously undiscovered shipwrecks.   Exploring iconic shipwrecks such as the R.M.S. Justicia, H.M.S. Audacious and R.M.S. Lusitania has left a significant impression on Barry, which helped develop his desire to discover and explore shipwrecks. Barry aims to share his passion for shipwreck exploration by capturing and sharing his images of many previously unphotographed shipwrecks including R.M.S. Amazon, H.M.S. Viknor and H.M.S. D6.   Barry has also been part of many international shipwreck expeditions, most recently in September 2021 where he formed part of an international team of divers who undertook the first internal exploration of HMHS Britannic which lies in 120 m of water in the Kea Channel in Greece. This expedition was funded by the Explorers Club and aimed to document key internal elements of the ship which had never been accessed by divers previously.    https://www.instagram.com/barrymcgill/ https://www.facebook.com/barry.mcgill.125 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbH2StdHWo0P-ARfjmxjPeQ https://indepthtechnical.ie/   The BiG Scuba Podcast is brought to you by Narked at 90.   “Beyond Technical”   If you are thinking of moving across to tech diving or completely new to diving, Narked at 90 can advise and guide on the best equipment and set up for your personal or commercial requirements  https://www.narkedat90.com/?affiliate_code=p42PzCC8sx&referring_service=link   We hope you have enjoyed this episode of The BiG Scuba Podcast.  Please give us ★★★★★ review, and tell your friends and share and like, it all makes a difference.   Contact Gemma and Ian with your messages, ideas and feedback via our media links or email   thebigscubapodcast@gmail.com   Take a look at the  Insta3620 Store    https://store.insta360.com/ and use our affiliate link  BIGSUCBA   We are on Instagram              @thebigscuba   We are on Facebook              @thebigscuba   We are in LinkedIn                 https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian%F0%9F%A6%88-last-325b101b7/ The BiG Scuba Website                      www.thebigscuba.com Amazon Store :                       https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/thebigscuba   Visit   https://www.patreon.com/thebigscubapodcast and subscribe - Super quick and easy to do and it makes a massive difference.

At the outbreak of war in 1914, most still believed that the key sea battles would be fought above the waves. But beneath the surface, a revolution was beginning. Germany's U-boats, small, cramped but lethal, would soon challenge the mighty Royal Navy and the rules of war itself. From prize law to the sinking of the Lusitania, this episode charts the U-boat's rise - and the controversy it left in its wake.

Il 28 giugno ricorre l'anniversario della battaglia contro i Turchi del 1389. In occasione del Vidovdan – Giorno di San Vito – è prevista una gigantesca manifestazione di opposizione al governo serbo, organizzata dagli studenti.In Serbia sono in corso da mesi grandi manifestazioni di piazza contro il sistema di potere del presidente Aleksandar Vucic, accusato di una corruzione sistemica che minaccia gravemente lo stato di diritto. A Belgrado abbiamo incontrato Dejan Atanacković, artista e scrittore serbo di fama internazionale che si è impegnato nelle proteste fin dall'inizio fino a diventare uno dei volti più noti della “primavera serba”.Autore di progetti e installazioni di arte contemporanea esposte in tutto il mondo, Atanacković è da sempre un artista politico. Qualche anno fa ha dato alle stampe anche il suo primo romanzo, Lusitania, che nel 2018 si aggiudicato il prestigioso premio Nin, il più importante riconoscimento per la letteratura balcanica e in autunno uscirà anche in lingua italiana. Ci ha offerto uno sguardo sincero e autentico sul suo Paese e sulle dinamiche di una democrazia che ancora stenta ad assumere una forma compiuta.

Good Sunday morning to you,I am just on a train home from Glasgow, where I have been gigging these past two nights. I've had a great time, as I always seem to do when I go north of the wall.But Glasgow on a Saturday night is something else. My hotel was right next to the station and so I was right in the thick of it. If I ever get to make a cacatopian, end-of-days, post-apocalyptic thriller, I'll just stroll through Glasgow city centre on a Friday or Saturday night with a camera to get all the B roll. It was like walking through a Hieronymus Bosch painting only with a Scottish accent. Little seems to have changed since I wrote that infamous chapter about Glasgow in Life After the State all those years ago. The only difference is that now it's more multi-ethnic. So many people are so off their heads. I lost count of the number of randoms wandering about just howling at the stars. The long days - it was still light at 10 o'clock - make the insanity all the more visible. Part of me finds it funny, but another part of me finds it so very sad that so many people let themselves get into this condition. It prompted me to revisit said chapter, and I offer it today as your Sunday thought piece.Just a couple of little notes, before we begin. This caught my eye on Friday. Our favourite uranium tech company, Lightbridge Fuels (NASDAQ:LTBR), has taken off again with Donald Trump's statement that he is going to quadruple US nuclear capacity. The stock was up 45% in a day. We first looked at it in October at $3. It hit $15 on Friday. It's one to sell on the spikes and buy on the dips, as this incredible chart shows.(In other news I have now listened twice to the Comstock Lode AGM, and I'll report back on that shortly too). ICYMI here is my mid-week commentary, which attracted a lot of attentionRight - Glasgow.(NB I haven't included references here. Needless to say, they are all there in the book. And sorry I don't have access to the audio of me reading this from my laptop, but, if you like, you can get the audiobook at Audible, Apple Books and all good audiobookshops. The book itself available at Amazon, Apple Books et al).How the Most Entrepreneurial City in Europe Became Its SickestThe cause of waves of unemployment is not capitalism, but governments …Friedrich Hayek, economist and philosopherIn the 18th and 19th centuries, the city of Glasgow in Scotland became enormously, stupendously rich. It happened quite organically, without planning. An entrepreneurial people reacted to their circumstances and, over time, turned Glasgow into an industrial and economic centre of such might that, by the turn of the 20th century, Glasgow was producing half the tonnage of Britain's ships and a quarter of all locomotives in the world. (Not unlike China's industrial dominance today). It was regarded as the best-governed city in Europe and popular histories compared it to the great imperial cities of Venice and Rome. It became known as the ‘Second City of the British Empire'.Barely 100 years later, it is the heroin capital of the UK, the murder capital of the UK and its East End, once home to Europe's largest steelworks, has been dubbed ‘the benefits capital of the UK'. Glasgow is Britain's fattest city: its men have Britain's lowest life expectancy – on a par with Palestine and Albania – and its unemployment rate is 50% higher than the rest of the UK.How did Glasgow manage all that?The growth in Glasgow's economic fortunes began in the latter part of the 17th century and the early 18th century. First, the city's location in the west of Scotland at the mouth of the river Clyde meant that it lay in the path of the trade winds and at least 100 nautical miles closer to America's east coast than other British ports – 200 miles closer than London. In the days before fossil fuels (which only found widespread use in shipping in the second half of the 19th century) the journey to Virginia was some two weeks shorter than the same journey from London or many of the other ports in Britain and Europe. Even modern sailors describe how easy the port of Glasgow is to navigate. Second, when England was at war with France – as it was repeatedly between 1688 and 1815 – ships travelling to Glasgow were less vulnerable than those travelling to ports further south. Glasgow's merchants took advantage and, by the early 18th century, the city had begun to assert itself as a trading hub. Manufactured goods were carried from Britain and Europe to North America and the Caribbean, where they were traded for increasingly popular commodities such as tobacco, cotton and sugar.Through the 18th century, the Glasgow merchants' business networks spread, and they took steps to further accelerate trade. New ships were introduced, bigger than those of rival ports, with fore and aft sails that enabled them to sail closer to the wind and reduce journey times. Trading posts were built to ensure that cargo was gathered and stored for collection, so that ships wouldn't swing idly at anchor. By the 1760s Glasgow had a 50% share of the tobacco trade – as much as the rest of Britain's ports combined. While the English merchants simply sold American tobacco in Europe at a profit, the Glaswegians actually extended credit to American farmers against future production (a bit like a crop future today, where a crop to be grown at a later date is sold now). The Virginia farmers could then use this credit to buy European goods, which the Glaswegians were only too happy to supply. This brought about the rise of financial institutions such as the Glasgow Ship Bank and the Glasgow Thistle Bank, which would later become part of the now-bailed-out, taxpayer-owned Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).Their practices paid rewards. Glasgow's merchants earned a great deal of money. They built glamorous homes and large churches and, it seems, took on aristocratic airs – hence they became known as the ‘Tobacco Lords'. Numbering among them were Buchanan, Dunlop, Ingram, Wilson, Oswald, Cochrane and Glassford, all of whom had streets in the Merchant City district of Glasgow named after them (other streets, such as Virginia Street and Jamaica Street, refer to their trade destinations). In 1771, over 47 million pounds of tobacco were imported.However, the credit the Glaswegians extended to American tobacco farmers would backfire. The debts incurred by the tobacco farmers – which included future presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (who almost lost his farm as a result) – grew, and were among the grievances when the American War of Independence came in 1775. That war destroyed the tobacco trade for the Glaswegians. Much of the money that was owed to them was never repaid. Many of their plantations were lost. But the Glaswegians were entrepreneurial and they adapted. They moved on to other businesses, particularly cotton.By the 19th century, all sorts of local industry had emerged around the goods traded in the city. It was producing and exporting textiles, chemicals, engineered goods and steel. River engineering projects to dredge and deepen the Clyde (with a view to forming a deep- water port) had begun in 1768 and they would enable shipbuilding to become a major industry on the upper reaches of the river, pioneered by industrialists such as Robert Napier and John Elder. The final stretch of the Monkland Canal, linking the Forth and Clyde Canal at Port Dundas, was opened in 1795, facilitating access to the iron-ore and coal mines of Lanarkshire.The move to fossil-fuelled shipping in the latter 19th century destroyed the advantages that the trade winds had given Glasgow. But it didn't matter. Again, the people adapted. By the turn of the 20th century the Second City of the British Empire had become a world centre of industry and heavy engineering. It has been estimated that, between 1870 and 1914, it produced as much as one-fifth of the world's ships, and half of Britain's tonnage. Among the 25,000 ships it produced were some of the greatest ever built: the Cutty Sark, the Queen Mary, HMS Hood, the Lusitania, the Glenlee tall ship and even the iconic Mississippi paddle steamer, the Delta Queen. It had also become a centre for locomotive manufacture and, shortly after the turn of the 20th century, could boast the largest concentration of locomotive building works in Europe.It was not just Glasgow's industry and wealth that was so gargantuan. The city's contribution to mankind – made possible by the innovation and progress that comes with booming economies – would also have an international impact. Many great inventors either hailed from Glasgow or moved there to study or work. There's James Watt, for example, whose improvements to the steam engine were fundamental to the Industrial Revolution. One of Watt's employees, William Murdoch, has been dubbed ‘the Scot who lit the world' – he invented gas lighting, a new kind of steam cannon and waterproof paint. Charles MacIntosh gave us the raincoat. James Young, the chemist dubbed as ‘the father of the oil industry', gave us paraffin. William Thomson, known as Lord Kelvin, developed the science of thermodynamics, formulating the Kelvin scale of absolute temperature; he also managed the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable.The turning point in the economic fortunes of Glasgow – indeed, of industrial Britain – was WWI. Both have been in decline ever since. By the end of the war, the British were drained, both emotionally and in terms of capital and manpower; the workers, the entrepreneurs, the ideas men, too many of them were dead or incapacitated. There was insufficient money and no appetite to invest. The post-war recession, and later the Great Depression, did little to help. The trend of the city was now one of inexorable economic decline.If Glasgow was the home of shipping and industry in 19th-century Britain, it became the home of socialism in the 20th century. Known by some as the ‘Red Clydeside' movement, the socialist tide in Scotland actually pre-dated the First World War. In 1906 came the city's first Labour Member of Parliament (MP), George Barnes – prior to that its seven MPs were all Conservatives or Liberal Unionists. In the spring of 1911, 11,000 workers at the Singer sewing-machine factory (run by an American corporation in Clydebank) went on strike to support 12 women who were protesting about new work practices. Singer sacked 400 workers, but the movement was growing – as was labour unrest. In the four years between 1910 and 1914 Clydebank workers spent four times as many days on strike than in the whole of the previous decade. The Scottish Trades Union Congress and its affiliations saw membership rise from 129,000 in 1909 to 230,000 in 1914.20The rise in discontent had much to do with Glasgow's housing. Conditions were bad, there was overcrowding, bad sanitation, housing was close to dirty, noxious and deafening industry. Unions grew quite organically to protect the interests of their members.Then came WWI, and inflation, as Britain all but abandoned gold. In 1915 many landlords responded by attempting to increase rent, but with their young men on the Western front, those left behind didn't have the means to pay these higher costs. If they couldn't, eviction soon followed. In Govan, an area of Glasgow where shipbuilding was the main occupation, women – now in the majority with so many men gone – organized opposition to the rent increases. There are photographs showing women blocking the entrance to tenements; officers who did get inside to evict tenants are said to have had their trousers pulled down.The landlords were attacked for being unpatriotic. Placards read: ‘While our men are fighting on the front line,the landlord is attacking us at home.' The strikes spread to other cities throughout the UK, and on 27 November 1915 the government introduced legislation to restrict rents to the pre-war level. The strikers were placated. They had won. The government was happy; it had dealt with the problem. The landlords lost out.In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917, more frequent strikes crippled the city. In 1919 the ‘Bloody Friday' uprising prompted the prime minister, David Lloyd George, to deploy 10,000 troops and tanks onto the city's streets. By the 1930s Glasgow had become the main base of the Independent Labour Party, so when Labour finally came to power alone after WWII, its influence was strong. Glasgow has always remained a socialist stronghold. Labour dominates the city council, and the city has not had a Conservative MP for 30 years.By the late 1950s, Glasgow was losing out to the more competitive industries of Japan, Germany and elsewhere. There was a lack of investment. Union demands for workers, enforced by government legislation, made costs uneconomic and entrepreneurial activity arduous. With lack of investment came lack of innovation.Rapid de-industrialization followed, and by the 1960s and 70s most employment lay not in manufacturing, but in the service industries.Which brings us to today. On the plus side, Glasgow is still ranked as one of Europe's top 20 financial centres and is home to some leading Scottish businesses. But there is considerable downside.Recent studies have suggested that nearly 30% of Glasgow's working age population is unemployed. That's 50% higher than that of the rest of Scotland or the UK. Eighteen per cent of 16- to 19-year-olds are neither in school nor employed. More than one in five working-age Glaswegians have no sort of education that might qualify them for a job.In the city centre, the Merchant City, 50% of children are growing up in homes where nobody works. In the poorer neighbourhoods, such as Ruchill, Possilpark, or Dalmarnock, about 65% of children live in homes where nobody works – more than three times the national average. Figures from the Department of Work and Pensions show that 85% of working age adults from the district of Bridgeton claim some kind of welfare payment.Across the city, almost a third of the population regularly receives sickness or incapacity benefit, the highest rate of all UK cities. A 2008 World Health Organization report noted that in Glasgow's Calton, Bridgeton and Queenslie neighbourhoods, the average life expectancy for males is only 54. In contrast, residents of Glasgow's more affluent West End live to be 80 and virtually none of them are on the dole.Glasgow has the highest crime rate in Scotland. A recent report by the Centre for Social Justice noted that there are 170 teenage gangs in Glasgow. That's the same number as in London, which has over six times the population of Glasgow.It also has the dubious record of being Britain's murder capital. In fact, Glasgow had the highest homicide rate in Western Europe until it was overtaken in 2012 by Amsterdam, with more violent crime per head of population than even New York. What's more, its suicide rate is the highest in the UK.Then there are the drug and alcohol problems. The residents of the poorer neighbourhoods are an astounding six times more likely to die of a drugs overdose than the national average. Drug-related mortality has increased by 95% since 1997. There are 20,000 registered drug users – that's just registered – and the situation is not going to get any better: children who grow up in households where family members use drugs are seven times more likely to end up using drugs themselves than children who live in drug-free families.Glasgow has the highest incidence of liver diseases from alcohol abuse in all of Scotland. In the East End district of Dennistoun, these illnesses kill more people than heart attacks and lung cancer combined. Men and women are more likely to die of alcohol-related deaths in Glasgow than anywhere else in the UK. Time and time again Glasgow is proud winner of the title ‘Fattest City in Britain'. Around 40% of the population are obese – 5% morbidly so – and it also boasts the most smokers per capita.I have taken these statistics from an array of different sources. It might be in some cases that they're overstated. I know that I've accentuated both the 18th- and 19th-century positives, as well as the 20th- and 21st-century negatives to make my point. Of course, there are lots of healthy, happy people in Glasgow – I've done many gigs there and I loved it. Despite the stories you hear about intimidating Glasgow audiences, the ones I encountered were as good as any I've ever performed in front of. But none of this changes the broad-brush strokes: Glasgow was a once mighty city that now has grave social problems. It is a city that is not fulfilling its potential in the way that it once did. All in all, it's quite a transformation. How has it happened?Every few years a report comes out that highlights Glasgow's various problems. Comments are then sought from across the political spectrum. Usually, those asked to comment agree that the city has grave, ‘long-standing and deep-rooted social problems' (the words of Stephen Purcell, former leader of Glasgow City Council); they agree that something needs to be done, though they don't always agree on what that something is.There's the view from the right: Bill Aitken of the Scottish Conservatives, quoted in The Sunday Times in 2008, said, ‘We simply don't have the jobs for people who are not academically inclined. Another factor is that some people are simply disinclined to work. We have got to find something for these people to do, to give them a reason to get up in the morning and give them some self-respect.' There's the supposedly apolitical view of anti-poverty groups: Peter Kelly, director of the Glasgow-based Poverty Alliance, responded, ‘We need real, intensive support for people if we are going to tackle poverty. It's not about a lack of aspiration, often people who are unemployed or on low incomes are stymied by a lack of money and support from local and central government.' And there's the view from the left. In the same article, Patricia Ferguson, the Labour Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Maryhill, also declared a belief in government regeneration of the area. ‘It's about better housing, more jobs, better education and these things take years to make an impact. I believe that the huge regeneration in the area is fostering a lot more community involvement and cohesion. My real hope is that these figures will take a knock in the next five or ten years.' At the time of writing in 2013, five years later, the figures have worsened.All three points of view agree on one thing: the government must do something.In 2008 the £435 million Fairer Scotland Fund – established to tackle poverty – was unveiled, aiming to allocate cash to the country's most deprived communities. Its targets included increasing average income among lower wage-earners and narrowing the poverty gap between Scotland's best- and worst-performing regions by 2017. So far, it hasn't met those targets.In 2008 a report entitled ‘Power for The Public' examined the provision of health, education and justice in Scotland. It said the budgets for these three areas had grown by 55%, 87% and 44% respectively over the last decade, but added that this had produced ‘mixed results'. ‘Mixed results' means it didn't work. More money was spent and the figures got worse.After the Centre for Social Justice report on Glasgow in 2008, Iain Duncan Smith (who set up this think tank, and is now the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions) said, ‘Policy must deal with the pathways to breakdown – high levels of family breakdown, high levels of failed education, debt and unemployment.'So what are ‘pathways to breakdown'? If you were to look at a chart of Glasgow's prosperity relative to the rest of the world, its peak would have come somewhere around 1910. With the onset of WWI in 1914 its decline accelerated, and since then the falls have been relentless and inexorable. It's not just Glasgow that would have this chart pattern, but the whole of industrial Britain. What changed the trend? Yes, empires rise and fall, but was British decline all a consequence of WWI? Or was there something else?A seismic shift came with that war – a change which is very rarely spoken or written about. Actually, the change was gradual and it pre-dated 1914. It was a change that was sweeping through the West: that of government or state involvement in our lives. In the UK it began with the reforms of the Liberal government of 1906–14, championed by David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill, known as the ‘terrible twins' by contemporaries. The Pensions Act of 1908, the People's Budget of 1909–10 (to ‘wage implacable warfare against poverty', declared Lloyd George) and the National Insurance Act of 1911 saw the Liberal government moving away from its tradition of laissez-faire systems – from classical liberalism and Gladstonian principles of self-help and self-reliance – towards larger, more active government by which taxes were collected from the wealthy and the proceeds redistributed. Afraid of losing votes to the emerging Labour party and the increasingly popular ideology of socialism, modern liberals betrayed their classical principles. In his War Memoirs, Lloyd George said ‘the partisan warfare that raged around these topics was so fierce that by 1913, this country was brought to the verge of civil war'. But these were small steps. The Pensions Act, for example, meant that men aged 70 and above could claim between two and five shillings per week from the government. But average male life- expectancy then was 47. Today it's 77. Using the same ratio, and, yes, I'm manipulating statistics here, that's akin to only awarding pensions to people above the age 117 today. Back then it was workable.To go back to my analogy of the prologue, this period was when the ‘train' was set in motion across the West. In 1914 it went up a gear. Here are the opening paragraphs of historian A. J. P. Taylor's most celebrated book, English History 1914–1945, published in 1965.I quote this long passage in full, because it is so telling.Until August 1914 a sensible, law-abiding Englishman could pass through life and hardly notice the existence of the state, beyond the post office and the policeman. He could live where he liked and as he liked. He had no official number or identity card. He could travel abroad or leave his country forever without a passport or any sort of official permission. He could exchange his money for any other currency without restriction or limit. He could buy goods from any country in the world on the same terms as he bought goods at home. For that matter, a foreigner could spend his life in this country without permit and without informing the police. Unlike the countries of the European continent, the state did not require its citizens to perform military service. An Englishman could enlist, if he chose, in the regular army, the navy, or the territorials. He could also ignore, if he chose, the demands of national defence. Substantial householders were occasionally called on for jury service. Otherwise, only those helped the state, who wished to do so. The Englishman paid taxes on a modest scale: nearly £200 million in 1913–14, or rather less than 8% of the national income.The state intervened to prevent the citizen from eating adulterated food or contracting certain infectious diseases. It imposed safety rules in factories, and prevented women, and adult males in some industries,from working excessive hours.The state saw to it that children received education up to the age of 13. Since 1 January 1909, it provided a meagre pension for the needy over the age of 70. Since 1911, it helped to insure certain classes of workers against sickness and unemployment. This tendency towards more state action was increasing. Expenditure on the social services had roughly doubled since the Liberals took office in 1905. Still, broadly speaking, the state acted only to help those who could not help themselves. It left the adult citizen alone.All this was changed by the impact of the Great War. The mass of the people became, for the first time, active citizens. Their lives were shaped by orders from above; they were required to serve the state instead of pursuing exclusively their own affairs. Five million men entered the armed forces, many of them (though a minority) under compulsion. The Englishman's food was limited, and its quality changed, by government order. His freedom of movement was restricted; his conditions of work prescribed. Some industries were reduced or closed, others artificially fostered. The publication of news was fettered. Street lights were dimmed. The sacred freedom of drinking was tampered with: licensed hours were cut down, and the beer watered by order. The very time on the clocks was changed. From 1916 onwards, every Englishman got up an hour earlier in summer than he would otherwise have done, thanks to an act of parliament. The state established a hold over its citizens which, though relaxed in peacetime, was never to be removed and which the Second World war was again to increase. The history of the English state and of the English people merged for the first time.Since the beginning of WWI , the role that the state has played in our lives has not stopped growing. This has been especially so in the case of Glasgow. The state has spent more and more, provided more and more services, more subsidy, more education, more health care, more infrastructure, more accommodation, more benefits, more regulations, more laws, more protection. The more it has provided, the worse Glasgow has fared. Is this correlation a coincidence? I don't think so.The story of the rise and fall of Glasgow is a distilled version of the story of the rise and fall of industrial Britain – indeed the entire industrial West.

Good Sunday morning to you,I am just on a train home from Glasgow, where I have been gigging these past two nights. I've had a great time, as I always seem to do when I go north of the wall.But Glasgow on a Saturday night is something else. My hotel was right next to the station and so I was right in the thick of it. If I ever get to make a cacatopian, end-of-days, post-apocalyptic thriller, I'll just stroll through Glasgow city centre on a Friday or Saturday night with a camera to get all the B roll. It was like walking through a Hieronymus Bosch painting only with a Scottish accent. Little seems to have changed since I wrote that infamous chapter about Glasgow in Life After the State all those years ago. The only difference is that now it's more multi-ethnic. So many people are so off their heads. I lost count of the number of randoms wandering about just howling at the stars. The long days - it was still light at 10 o'clock - make the insanity all the more visible. Part of me finds it funny, but another part of me finds it so very sad that so many people let themselves get into this condition. It prompted me to revisit said chapter, and I offer it today as your Sunday thought piece.Just a couple of little notes, before we begin. This caught my eye on Friday. Our favourite uranium tech company, Lightbridge Fuels (NASDAQ:LTBR), has taken off again with Donald Trump's statement that he is going to quadruple US nuclear capacity. The stock was up 45% in a day. We first looked at it in October at $3. It hit $15 on Friday. It's one to sell on the spikes and buy on the dips, as this incredible chart shows.(In other news I have now listened twice to the Comstock Lode AGM, and I'll report back on that shortly too). ICYMI here is my mid-week commentary, which attracted a lot of attentionRight - Glasgow.(NB I haven't included references here. Needless to say, they are all there in the book. And sorry I don't have access to the audio of me reading this from my laptop, but, if you like, you can get the audiobook at Audible, Apple Books and all good audiobookshops. The book itself available at Amazon, Apple Books et al).How the Most Entrepreneurial City in Europe Became Its SickestThe cause of waves of unemployment is not capitalism, but governments …Friedrich Hayek, economist and philosopherIn the 18th and 19th centuries, the city of Glasgow in Scotland became enormously, stupendously rich. It happened quite organically, without planning. An entrepreneurial people reacted to their circumstances and, over time, turned Glasgow into an industrial and economic centre of such might that, by the turn of the 20th century, Glasgow was producing half the tonnage of Britain's ships and a quarter of all locomotives in the world. (Not unlike China's industrial dominance today). It was regarded as the best-governed city in Europe and popular histories compared it to the great imperial cities of Venice and Rome. It became known as the ‘Second City of the British Empire'.Barely 100 years later, it is the heroin capital of the UK, the murder capital of the UK and its East End, once home to Europe's largest steelworks, has been dubbed ‘the benefits capital of the UK'. Glasgow is Britain's fattest city: its men have Britain's lowest life expectancy – on a par with Palestine and Albania – and its unemployment rate is 50% higher than the rest of the UK.How did Glasgow manage all that?The growth in Glasgow's economic fortunes began in the latter part of the 17th century and the early 18th century. First, the city's location in the west of Scotland at the mouth of the river Clyde meant that it lay in the path of the trade winds and at least 100 nautical miles closer to America's east coast than other British ports – 200 miles closer than London. In the days before fossil fuels (which only found widespread use in shipping in the second half of the 19th century) the journey to Virginia was some two weeks shorter than the same journey from London or many of the other ports in Britain and Europe. Even modern sailors describe how easy the port of Glasgow is to navigate. Second, when England was at war with France – as it was repeatedly between 1688 and 1815 – ships travelling to Glasgow were less vulnerable than those travelling to ports further south. Glasgow's merchants took advantage and, by the early 18th century, the city had begun to assert itself as a trading hub. Manufactured goods were carried from Britain and Europe to North America and the Caribbean, where they were traded for increasingly popular commodities such as tobacco, cotton and sugar.Through the 18th century, the Glasgow merchants' business networks spread, and they took steps to further accelerate trade. New ships were introduced, bigger than those of rival ports, with fore and aft sails that enabled them to sail closer to the wind and reduce journey times. Trading posts were built to ensure that cargo was gathered and stored for collection, so that ships wouldn't swing idly at anchor. By the 1760s Glasgow had a 50% share of the tobacco trade – as much as the rest of Britain's ports combined. While the English merchants simply sold American tobacco in Europe at a profit, the Glaswegians actually extended credit to American farmers against future production (a bit like a crop future today, where a crop to be grown at a later date is sold now). The Virginia farmers could then use this credit to buy European goods, which the Glaswegians were only too happy to supply. This brought about the rise of financial institutions such as the Glasgow Ship Bank and the Glasgow Thistle Bank, which would later become part of the now-bailed-out, taxpayer-owned Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).Their practices paid rewards. Glasgow's merchants earned a great deal of money. They built glamorous homes and large churches and, it seems, took on aristocratic airs – hence they became known as the ‘Tobacco Lords'. Numbering among them were Buchanan, Dunlop, Ingram, Wilson, Oswald, Cochrane and Glassford, all of whom had streets in the Merchant City district of Glasgow named after them (other streets, such as Virginia Street and Jamaica Street, refer to their trade destinations). In 1771, over 47 million pounds of tobacco were imported.However, the credit the Glaswegians extended to American tobacco farmers would backfire. The debts incurred by the tobacco farmers – which included future presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (who almost lost his farm as a result) – grew, and were among the grievances when the American War of Independence came in 1775. That war destroyed the tobacco trade for the Glaswegians. Much of the money that was owed to them was never repaid. Many of their plantations were lost. But the Glaswegians were entrepreneurial and they adapted. They moved on to other businesses, particularly cotton.By the 19th century, all sorts of local industry had emerged around the goods traded in the city. It was producing and exporting textiles, chemicals, engineered goods and steel. River engineering projects to dredge and deepen the Clyde (with a view to forming a deep- water port) had begun in 1768 and they would enable shipbuilding to become a major industry on the upper reaches of the river, pioneered by industrialists such as Robert Napier and John Elder. The final stretch of the Monkland Canal, linking the Forth and Clyde Canal at Port Dundas, was opened in 1795, facilitating access to the iron-ore and coal mines of Lanarkshire.The move to fossil-fuelled shipping in the latter 19th century destroyed the advantages that the trade winds had given Glasgow. But it didn't matter. Again, the people adapted. By the turn of the 20th century the Second City of the British Empire had become a world centre of industry and heavy engineering. It has been estimated that, between 1870 and 1914, it produced as much as one-fifth of the world's ships, and half of Britain's tonnage. Among the 25,000 ships it produced were some of the greatest ever built: the Cutty Sark, the Queen Mary, HMS Hood, the Lusitania, the Glenlee tall ship and even the iconic Mississippi paddle steamer, the Delta Queen. It had also become a centre for locomotive manufacture and, shortly after the turn of the 20th century, could boast the largest concentration of locomotive building works in Europe.It was not just Glasgow's industry and wealth that was so gargantuan. The city's contribution to mankind – made possible by the innovation and progress that comes with booming economies – would also have an international impact. Many great inventors either hailed from Glasgow or moved there to study or work. There's James Watt, for example, whose improvements to the steam engine were fundamental to the Industrial Revolution. One of Watt's employees, William Murdoch, has been dubbed ‘the Scot who lit the world' – he invented gas lighting, a new kind of steam cannon and waterproof paint. Charles MacIntosh gave us the raincoat. James Young, the chemist dubbed as ‘the father of the oil industry', gave us paraffin. William Thomson, known as Lord Kelvin, developed the science of thermodynamics, formulating the Kelvin scale of absolute temperature; he also managed the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable.The turning point in the economic fortunes of Glasgow – indeed, of industrial Britain – was WWI. Both have been in decline ever since. By the end of the war, the British were drained, both emotionally and in terms of capital and manpower; the workers, the entrepreneurs, the ideas men, too many of them were dead or incapacitated. There was insufficient money and no appetite to invest. The post-war recession, and later the Great Depression, did little to help. The trend of the city was now one of inexorable economic decline.If Glasgow was the home of shipping and industry in 19th-century Britain, it became the home of socialism in the 20th century. Known by some as the ‘Red Clydeside' movement, the socialist tide in Scotland actually pre-dated the First World War. In 1906 came the city's first Labour Member of Parliament (MP), George Barnes – prior to that its seven MPs were all Conservatives or Liberal Unionists. In the spring of 1911, 11,000 workers at the Singer sewing-machine factory (run by an American corporation in Clydebank) went on strike to support 12 women who were protesting about new work practices. Singer sacked 400 workers, but the movement was growing – as was labour unrest. In the four years between 1910 and 1914 Clydebank workers spent four times as many days on strike than in the whole of the previous decade. The Scottish Trades Union Congress and its affiliations saw membership rise from 129,000 in 1909 to 230,000 in 1914.20The rise in discontent had much to do with Glasgow's housing. Conditions were bad, there was overcrowding, bad sanitation, housing was close to dirty, noxious and deafening industry. Unions grew quite organically to protect the interests of their members.Then came WWI, and inflation, as Britain all but abandoned gold. In 1915 many landlords responded by attempting to increase rent, but with their young men on the Western front, those left behind didn't have the means to pay these higher costs. If they couldn't, eviction soon followed. In Govan, an area of Glasgow where shipbuilding was the main occupation, women – now in the majority with so many men gone – organized opposition to the rent increases. There are photographs showing women blocking the entrance to tenements; officers who did get inside to evict tenants are said to have had their trousers pulled down.The landlords were attacked for being unpatriotic. Placards read: ‘While our men are fighting on the front line,the landlord is attacking us at home.' The strikes spread to other cities throughout the UK, and on 27 November 1915 the government introduced legislation to restrict rents to the pre-war level. The strikers were placated. They had won. The government was happy; it had dealt with the problem. The landlords lost out.In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917, more frequent strikes crippled the city. In 1919 the ‘Bloody Friday' uprising prompted the prime minister, David Lloyd George, to deploy 10,000 troops and tanks onto the city's streets. By the 1930s Glasgow had become the main base of the Independent Labour Party, so when Labour finally came to power alone after WWII, its influence was strong. Glasgow has always remained a socialist stronghold. Labour dominates the city council, and the city has not had a Conservative MP for 30 years.By the late 1950s, Glasgow was losing out to the more competitive industries of Japan, Germany and elsewhere. There was a lack of investment. Union demands for workers, enforced by government legislation, made costs uneconomic and entrepreneurial activity arduous. With lack of investment came lack of innovation.Rapid de-industrialization followed, and by the 1960s and 70s most employment lay not in manufacturing, but in the service industries.Which brings us to today. On the plus side, Glasgow is still ranked as one of Europe's top 20 financial centres and is home to some leading Scottish businesses. But there is considerable downside.Recent studies have suggested that nearly 30% of Glasgow's working age population is unemployed. That's 50% higher than that of the rest of Scotland or the UK. Eighteen per cent of 16- to 19-year-olds are neither in school nor employed. More than one in five working-age Glaswegians have no sort of education that might qualify them for a job.In the city centre, the Merchant City, 50% of children are growing up in homes where nobody works. In the poorer neighbourhoods, such as Ruchill, Possilpark, or Dalmarnock, about 65% of children live in homes where nobody works – more than three times the national average. Figures from the Department of Work and Pensions show that 85% of working age adults from the district of Bridgeton claim some kind of welfare payment.Across the city, almost a third of the population regularly receives sickness or incapacity benefit, the highest rate of all UK cities. A 2008 World Health Organization report noted that in Glasgow's Calton, Bridgeton and Queenslie neighbourhoods, the average life expectancy for males is only 54. In contrast, residents of Glasgow's more affluent West End live to be 80 and virtually none of them are on the dole.Glasgow has the highest crime rate in Scotland. A recent report by the Centre for Social Justice noted that there are 170 teenage gangs in Glasgow. That's the same number as in London, which has over six times the population of Glasgow.It also has the dubious record of being Britain's murder capital. In fact, Glasgow had the highest homicide rate in Western Europe until it was overtaken in 2012 by Amsterdam, with more violent crime per head of population than even New York. What's more, its suicide rate is the highest in the UK.Then there are the drug and alcohol problems. The residents of the poorer neighbourhoods are an astounding six times more likely to die of a drugs overdose than the national average. Drug-related mortality has increased by 95% since 1997. There are 20,000 registered drug users – that's just registered – and the situation is not going to get any better: children who grow up in households where family members use drugs are seven times more likely to end up using drugs themselves than children who live in drug-free families.Glasgow has the highest incidence of liver diseases from alcohol abuse in all of Scotland. In the East End district of Dennistoun, these illnesses kill more people than heart attacks and lung cancer combined. Men and women are more likely to die of alcohol-related deaths in Glasgow than anywhere else in the UK. Time and time again Glasgow is proud winner of the title ‘Fattest City in Britain'. Around 40% of the population are obese – 5% morbidly so – and it also boasts the most smokers per capita.I have taken these statistics from an array of different sources. It might be in some cases that they're overstated. I know that I've accentuated both the 18th- and 19th-century positives, as well as the 20th- and 21st-century negatives to make my point. Of course, there are lots of healthy, happy people in Glasgow – I've done many gigs there and I loved it. Despite the stories you hear about intimidating Glasgow audiences, the ones I encountered were as good as any I've ever performed in front of. But none of this changes the broad-brush strokes: Glasgow was a once mighty city that now has grave social problems. It is a city that is not fulfilling its potential in the way that it once did. All in all, it's quite a transformation. How has it happened?Every few years a report comes out that highlights Glasgow's various problems. Comments are then sought from across the political spectrum. Usually, those asked to comment agree that the city has grave, ‘long-standing and deep-rooted social problems' (the words of Stephen Purcell, former leader of Glasgow City Council); they agree that something needs to be done, though they don't always agree on what that something is.There's the view from the right: Bill Aitken of the Scottish Conservatives, quoted in The Sunday Times in 2008, said, ‘We simply don't have the jobs for people who are not academically inclined. Another factor is that some people are simply disinclined to work. We have got to find something for these people to do, to give them a reason to get up in the morning and give them some self-respect.' There's the supposedly apolitical view of anti-poverty groups: Peter Kelly, director of the Glasgow-based Poverty Alliance, responded, ‘We need real, intensive support for people if we are going to tackle poverty. It's not about a lack of aspiration, often people who are unemployed or on low incomes are stymied by a lack of money and support from local and central government.' And there's the view from the left. In the same article, Patricia Ferguson, the Labour Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Maryhill, also declared a belief in government regeneration of the area. ‘It's about better housing, more jobs, better education and these things take years to make an impact. I believe that the huge regeneration in the area is fostering a lot more community involvement and cohesion. My real hope is that these figures will take a knock in the next five or ten years.' At the time of writing in 2013, five years later, the figures have worsened.All three points of view agree on one thing: the government must do something.In 2008 the £435 million Fairer Scotland Fund – established to tackle poverty – was unveiled, aiming to allocate cash to the country's most deprived communities. Its targets included increasing average income among lower wage-earners and narrowing the poverty gap between Scotland's best- and worst-performing regions by 2017. So far, it hasn't met those targets.In 2008 a report entitled ‘Power for The Public' examined the provision of health, education and justice in Scotland. It said the budgets for these three areas had grown by 55%, 87% and 44% respectively over the last decade, but added that this had produced ‘mixed results'. ‘Mixed results' means it didn't work. More money was spent and the figures got worse.After the Centre for Social Justice report on Glasgow in 2008, Iain Duncan Smith (who set up this think tank, and is now the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions) said, ‘Policy must deal with the pathways to breakdown – high levels of family breakdown, high levels of failed education, debt and unemployment.'So what are ‘pathways to breakdown'? If you were to look at a chart of Glasgow's prosperity relative to the rest of the world, its peak would have come somewhere around 1910. With the onset of WWI in 1914 its decline accelerated, and since then the falls have been relentless and inexorable.

Cette règle, vous le savez, est souvent associée aux scènes de naufrages maritimes, où elle est censée guider l'évacuation des passagers en donnant la priorité aux personnes perçues comme les plus vulnérables. Mais d'où vient vraiment cette règle ? Est-elle une tradition ancienne, une norme sociale… ou un mythe romantisé par la littérature et le cinéma ?Une origine bien précise : le naufrage du HMS Birkenhead (1852)La formule prend racine dans un événement réel : le naufrage du HMS Birkenhead, un navire militaire britannique, survenu le 26 février 1852 au large des côtes d'Afrique du Sud.Le navire transportait environ 640 personnes, dont des soldats et quelques femmes et enfants. Lorsqu'il heurta un rocher, les embarcations de sauvetage étaient en nombre insuffisant. Le commandant donna alors l'ordre de faire embarquer en priorité les femmes et les enfants, pendant que les soldats restaient au garde-à-vous sur le pont, sans paniquer.Grâce à cette discipline exceptionnelle, toutes les femmes et les enfants survécurent, tandis que près de 450 hommes périrent. Ce sacrifice héroïque inspira l'expression « the Birkenhead drill », qui désignait cette conduite de calme et de discipline face à la mort.Une règle sociale… plus qu'une loiContrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, il n'existe aucune loi maritime internationale imposant « femmes et enfants d'abord ». Il s'agit plutôt d'une norme morale et culturelle, valorisée par l'imaginaire victorien puis par la littérature et le cinéma, comme dans Titanic.Cependant, son application a été très inégale dans l'histoire. Par exemple :Lors du naufrage du Titanic en 1912, le capitaine ordonna effectivement de donner la priorité aux femmes et aux enfants. Résultat : 74 % des femmes mais seulement 20 % des hommes survécurent.À l'inverse, lors du naufrage du Lusitania en 1915, dans un contexte de panique totale, aucune règle de priorité ne fut respectée.Une construction culturelleCette règle renvoie à des valeurs paternalistes héritées du XIXe siècle : les femmes sont vues comme fragiles, les enfants comme innocents, et les hommes comme protecteurs. Elle a été largement romancée et idéalisée, surtout dans les récits anglophones. En réalité, lors de nombreuses catastrophes, c'est souvent l'instinct de survie qui domine, et la priorité aux plus vulnérables dépend davantage du capitaine, du contexte et du chaos que d'une règle universelle.En somme, « femmes et enfants d'abord » est une belle idée, parfois appliquée, parfois trahie, mais toujours chargée d'un poids symbolique fort, reflet des normes d'une époque… et des histoires qu'on aime se raconter face au drame.

On 7 May 1915, the British ocean liner, the Lusitania, was sunk by a German submarine off the Irish coast, as it sailed from New York to Liverpool.Thousands of passengers were onboard and 1,200 people died. The attack helped turn American opinion against Germany. In 2015, Alex Last used BBC archives to tell the story. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry.

Just about everybody knows the story. A supposedly unsinkable ship hit an iceberg and sank, proving the folly of humans. But there are many facts which are not widely known as well as prevalent myths which need to be debunked. Learn what really happened, what caused the disaster, and who were the heroes and who were the villains. 

In 1915, a German submarine torpedoed the passenger liner RMS Lusitania, killing nearly 1,200 people, including many Ohioans. We tell the story of the tragedy through the lives of people like Charles Frohman, a Sandusky native who coined the term "stars" for describing beloved actors, and Theodate Pope, a Cleveland woman who became one of the first licensed architects in the country.

This episode continues our work bringing you some of the finest original historical material, written by the people who were actually there. Today we bring you the war diary of the U-boat commander Kapitänleutnant Walther Schwieger, commander of U-20, from May 1915, when he sank the transatlantic liner Lusitania, full of civilian passengers. 1193 people died.On Friday 7th May 1915, Kapitänleutnant Schwieger found himself in the middle of a conundrum. Heading towards him was a large, four funnel ship. He knew that the British often commissioned four funnel warships as auxiliary cruisers. In his mind, his duty was clear, without warning, he loosed a torpedo, which hit the ship. After the first hit there was a subsequent large explosion, which resulted in the ship listing seriously, and eventually going under.Schwieger seems to have been appalled by the result of his attack and recorded "It looks as if the ship will stay afloat only for a very short time. [I gave order to] dive to 25 metres (82 ft) and leave the area seawards. I couldn't have fired another torpedo into this mass of humans desperately trying to save themselves." It appears that only then did he appreciate that he had torpedoed the Lusitania, which, in his favour, was known to be a potential Armed Merchant Cruiser. Schwieger was born in 1885 and in 1903 joined the Imperial German Navy aged 18. He chose the submarine service early and by 1912, he was appointed to command U-14 and was appointed to U-20 shortly after the outbreak of war. Allegedly, he had the reputation of shooting first and asking questions after. He was killed in U-88 on the 5th of September 1917, which probably hit a mine. During his wartime career, Schwieger captained three different submarines, on a total of 34 missions. He sank 49 ships, measuring 183,883 gross register tons (GRT).The fallout from the torpedoing of the Lusitania was very serious. The US President Woodrow Wilson (determined to keep out of the European War) was seriously displeased at the death of American lives and as a result of his representations, Kaiser Wilhelm gave immediate instructions to cease the unrestricted submarine warfare campaign. The resumption in 1917 after the Battle of Jutland directly caused the American declaration of War in 1917.Over the years, there have been many takes on the sinking of the Lusitania from conspiracy theories about Winston Churchill to hidden arms shipments. As always, the presentation of contemporary documents help us to understand the elements of history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Le Titanic, célèbre paquebot de la White Star Line, possédait quatre grandes cheminées. Pourtant, seules trois d'entre elles étaient fonctionnelles et servaient à évacuer la fumée et les gaz des chaudières. La quatrième cheminée, située à l'arrière du navire, était une fausse cheminée qui ne jouait aucun rôle dans la propulsion du navire. Mais pourquoi l'avoir ajoutée ?1. Une question d'esthétique et de prestigeÀ l'époque, les grands paquebots transatlantiques étaient en pleine compétition pour attirer les passagers les plus prestigieux. Les navires de la Cunard Line, rivale de la White Star Line, comme le Lusitania et le Mauretania, étaient équipés de quatre cheminées imposantes qui donnaient une impression de puissance et de rapidité.Les concepteurs du Titanic ont donc décidé d'ajouter une quatrième cheminée factice, non fonctionnelle, pour donner au navire une apparence plus imposante et prestigieuse. Cela renforçait aussi l'image de sécurité et de modernité du paquebot.2. Un espace de ventilation et de stockageMême si cette cheminée ne servait pas à évacuer de la fumée, elle n'était pas totalement inutile. Elle servait de :- Conduit de ventilation pour certaines parties du navire, notamment la cuisine et la salle des machines.- Espace de rangement pour divers équipements du navire.3. Un effet psychologique sur les passagersÀ l'époque, plus un paquebot avait de cheminées, plus il était perçu comme puissant et rapide. Certains passagers choisissaient leur traversée en fonction du nombre de cheminées, croyant que cela garantissait une meilleure sécurité et une plus grande vitesse. Cette fausse cheminée a donc contribué à renforcer la réputation du Titanic.ConclusionLa quatrième cheminée du Titanic était une fausse cheminée, principalement ajoutée pour des raisons esthétiques et marketing, mais elle servait aussi à la ventilation de certaines zones du navire. Ce détail architectural illustre bien l'importance de l'image et de la perception publique dans l'industrie des paquebots de l'époque. Hébergé par Acast.

Andrew Nelson is thinking about the speed of the loss of something big, powerful, and respected — the Lusitania.

Aleister Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, philosopher, political theorist, novelist, mountaineer, and painter. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. Most know of him from his occult celebrity built on the premise, "Do What Thou Will Is The Whole of The Law" but what about his other "secret" life as an agent for the British government? Joel explores more of Crowley's time as a secret agent and how the Beast was a catalyst to drag the United States into World War I. He looks at Crowley's entrance into the U.S. in 1914 and the different handlers he worked for when he came to New York. He takes an even deeper dive into Crowley's time working for George Sylvester Viereck and his writings for The Fatherland, a German propaganda outlet to dissuade the U.S. from entering the war. Lastly, Joel takes a look at the ill-fated, Lusitania, and how Crowley manipulated the Germans into attacking it by orders of British Intelligence.

Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:12-19Grace and Alicia got off the bus and walked to Grace's front door. "Our church is having a kids' festival on Saturday," said Grace. "We'll have crafts and food, and the high schoolers will perform a drama about Jesus's death and resurrection. You want to come?" "Nah," said Alicia. "My parents say church is made up of people who believe in silly things. Besides, I think it's crazy to think that something that happened so long ago makes any difference in people's lives today." Alyssa quickly changed the subject. "What topic did Mr. Larsen give you for your history project? I got Armistice Day. Mr. Larsen said that was the day World War I ended. What did you get?""The Lusitania," said Grace. "Mr. Larsen said that was a British ship that was torpedoed right before the war. I don't know much about it, but I think my parents have a picture of it." Grace's mom greeted them when they walked in. "Did you get your project topics today?" she asked. "Alicia got Armistice Day, and I got the Lusitania," said Grace. "Don't you have a picture of that around here somewhere?""I do," Mom said. "Because you know what, Grace? If the Lusitania hadn't been destroyed by a torpedo, you wouldn't be here!"Grace was puzzled. "What do you mean?""Your great-great-grandfather's first wife was sailing from New York to England to visit her very ill father. She was on the Lusitania and lost her life when it went down. A few years later, your great-great-grandfather married again and your great-grandmother was born, followed by my mother and then me and then you. None of us would've been here without the Lusitania sinking. Life would've been very different for our family if that event hadn't happened.""Wow," Grace said, "I didn't know that." Then she thought of something. "Alicia, you said a long-ago event couldn't make a difference in our lives today, but that's not true! Just like the Lusitania changed lives in our family, Jesus's death and resurrection changes lives too! What He did changes everything, because now anyone can be forgiven for their sins and have a relationship with God.""I never thought about it like that," said Alicia. "Maybe I'll go with you Saturday after all." –Linda WeddleHow About You?Is there a historical event that changed your family's history? What about Jesus's death and resurrection--has that made a difference in your life? If God hadn't sent His Son to die for our sins and then raised Him from the dead, we wouldn't be able to have His joy and peace in our lives and the promise of eternal life with Him. Jesus changes lives, and if you trust in Him, He will change yours today!

Send us a textWhat really caused World War I — and how were false flags used by the world's wealthiest families to orchestrate it? Host Faust Checho uncovers the secret truth behind the Great War on episode 177 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.In this episode, Faust reveals how the war wasn't just the result of political tensions, but a carefully orchestrated plot by elite families like the Rothschilds and JP Morgan to profit from global chaos. By the end, you'll understand why this is the war they don't want you to think about. Topics include:•Was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand really a false flag?•How did secret alliances fuel the war, pushed by elite interests?•What role did the Rothschilds and JP Morgan play in financing both sides of the conflict?•Was the U.S. manipulated into joining the war to protect the profits of American bankers?•Why was the sinking of the Lusitania covered up as a pretext for U.S. involvement?•How did the Zionist movement and the Balfour Declaration tie into the elites' war strategy?•What was the Black Tom explosion?•How did the Zimmerman telegram convince Americans to support entering the Great War?•How did corporate and deep-state actors profit from the war's destruction?•What were the hidden political motives that reshaped the world after the war?...and so much more!

My guest travel writer Conor Power shares his experiences from our recent trip to the wonderful region of Extremadura in south west Spain on the border of Portugal. We chat about the Ribera del Guadiana Wine and Cava Route, in the region of Extremadura and its wine-growing tradition and exquisite regional gastronomy, historical Roman and Moor heritage, archaeological sites, monasteries and castles.This area is where the Spanish go on holidays for a cultural and food fix. It is in a way an idealised version of Spain with open planes of fields of vines and olive oil as far as the eye can see to the distant horizon. Think spaghetti westerns landscape where farms are often 1,000's of acres. Where brilliant sunsets blaze the land orange every night. The capital Mérida is a destination you should put at the top of your list when it comes to visiting Extremadura. As the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania, Mérida boasts an impressive collection of Roman ruins that have earned it the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Roman Theatre, still used for performances today, is a remarkable testament to the city's ancient past. If you haven't already, I'd ask you to give me a follow on whichever platform you listen to your podcasts and you will be the first to get a new episode.

Established by Emperor Augustus, this strategic city played a key role for Roman troops traveling north and south through the Iberian Peninsula, thanks to its position on the Guadiana River. Today, Mérida stands as a testament to Roman engineering, housing one of the largest ancient complexes outside Rome and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Join us as we teach you the story of this remarkable city. Happy listening!

Sean bienvenidos a otro nuevo Spaces aqui en Twitter. Esta vez vamos a realizar un análisis de la película falso documental La Conspiración. Les sugiero que si no han visto la película lo hagan antes de escuchar nuestro análisis ya que vamos a destriparla completamente. Digamos que será no solo un spoiler de lo que podrían ver allí si no mas bien un desmenuzamiento de sus partes. Intentaremos desmontar la película trozo a trozo. Vamos a entrar en la sala del despiece del toro, je, je, je. Para ello utilizare un extracto de lo que nos dice chat GPT de esta película. 1. Introducción El documento "The Conspiracy" comienza con una cita significativa de Benjamin Disraeli, Primer Ministro británico de 1874 a 1880, quien mencionó que el mundo es gobernado por personajes muy diferentes a los imaginados. Esta cita sirve como punto de partida para adentrarse en la temática central del texto: la conspiración. La introducción plantea la idea de que la humanidad, en su conjunto, no es libre y que la supuesta libertad que se percibe es solo una ilusión creada por aquellos en el poder. Esta ilusión de libertad y elección es una de las primeras ideas que se presentan para cuestionar la realidad en la que viven las personas. El texto introduce al lector en un ambiente de sospecha y desconfianza hacia los poderes establecidos, sugiriendo que los individuos no son más que piezas en un juego manejado por otros. Esta premisa establece un tono sombrío y desafiante, aludiendo a la manipulación de masas y al control social que se ejercerían desde las sombras. 2. Fenómeno de las Teorías de la Conspiración El documento continúa explorando el fenómeno de las teorías de la conspiración, describiendo cómo estas han capturado la atención de las personas no solo por las teorías mismas, sino por el comportamiento y la mentalidad de quienes creen en ellas. Se hace énfasis en que las teorías conspirativas representan un fenómeno social fascinante que debe ser entendido para poder ser disipado. Este apartado discute la atracción que ejercen las teorías de la conspiración sobre ciertos individuos y cómo estas teorías crean una comunidad de personas que comparten una visión alternativa del mundo, una visión que cuestiona las narrativas oficiales y que busca desentrañar lo que perciben como una verdad oculta. La creencia en conspiraciones no solo afecta la percepción de la realidad de los individuos, sino que también tiene un impacto significativo en el comportamiento social y político de estas comunidades. 3. Encuentro con Terrance G. Uno de los personajes centrales del documento es Terrance G., un conspirador local cuya vida y creencias son exploradas a través de la narrativa. Se introduce al lector al entorno de Terrance, que se describe como un lugar donde él ha acumulado y organizado una vasta cantidad de información relacionada con diversas teorías de la conspiración. Este espacio, denominado por Terrance como "El Cuarto de Guerra", está lleno de recortes, documentos, y conexiones que él ha trazado entre eventos históricos y decisiones políticas, todos los cuales, en su visión, forman parte de una gran conspiración global. Nos lo muestran casi como un vagabundo, una persona desaseada y con una vida al borde del colapso en una casa descuidada. El "Cuarto de Guerra" de Terrance es emblemático de cómo los conspiracionistas organizan y procesan la información, buscando patrones y conexiones que, en muchos casos, son interpretados como evidencia irrefutable de sus creencias. Este entorno refleja una mentalidad profundamente analítica y a la vez obsesiva, donde cada nuevo dato es insertado en una red preexistente de suposiciones y creencias, reforzando aún más la visión del mundo que tiene Terrance. 4. Ejemplos de Conspiraciones Gobernamentales El documento menciona varios ejemplos específicos de lo que se presentan como conspiraciones gubernamentales, las cuales Terrance y otros como él creen que son parte de un plan más amplio de control y dominación. Estos ejemplos incluyen: Ley de Comisiones Militares (2006): Se describe cómo esta ley permite la detención indefinida de ciudadanos estadounidenses en lugares no revelados, lo que es visto como una herramienta para silenciar la disidencia y mantener el control social. Proyecto de ley H.R. 645 y los campos de FEMA (2009): Este proyecto de ley autoriza al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional a establecer una red de campos de internamiento en caso de una emergencia nacional. Terrance interpreta esto como una preparación para la implementación de la ley marcial y el control total de la población. Estos ejemplos son utilizados por Terrance para ilustrar su argumento de que existe una conspiración generalizada para restringir las libertades individuales y centralizar el poder en manos de unos pocos. Terrance conecta estos eventos legislativos con una serie de otras acciones gubernamentales y eventos históricos, sugiriendo que todos son parte de un patrón más grande y siniestro. 5. La Comunidad Conspiratoria en Línea Un aspecto crucial del documento es la descripción de la comunidad conspiracionista en línea. Este grupo de personas, que interactúa principalmente a través de foros y salas de chat virtuales como el "Café del Conspirador", es visto como una subcultura unida por su devoción a descubrir "la verdad". Esta comunidad utiliza Internet no solo como una herramienta para compartir información, sino también como un espacio para reforzar sus creencias y conectar con otros que comparten sus perspectivas. El documento destaca cómo Internet ha jugado un papel dual en la propagación de teorías conspirativas. Por un lado, permite la difusión rápida y masiva de ideas que cuestionan la narrativa oficial, desafiando los medios de comunicación tradicionales que históricamente han controlado la información. Por otro lado, Internet también facilita la vigilancia masiva, lo que refuerza la percepción de un control omnipresente por parte del "Gran Hermano". Un ejemplo concreto dentro del texto es la descripción de un video viral que muestra a Terrance compartiendo sus ideas, lo cual provoca no solo burlas sino también un sorprendente número de comentarios de apoyo. Este episodio ilustra cómo las teorías conspirativas encuentran un eco en sectores de la población que están dispuestos a aceptar narrativas alternativas, especialmente en un entorno donde la desconfianza hacia las instituciones es alta. 6. Teorías Clásicas de la Conspiración El documento explora varias teorías de conspiración bien conocidas que son parte integral del discurso de Terrance y de la comunidad conspirativa en general: Reserva Federal y control financiero: Se argumenta que la Reserva Federal es una institución que manipula la economía imprimiendo dinero sin respaldo, manteniendo al gobierno de los EE.UU. perpetuamente endeudado y bajo el control de poderes financieros ocultos. El Gran Hermano y la vigilancia: Terrance señala que la profecía de George Orwell sobre un estado de vigilancia total se ha hecho realidad, pero de una manera que el propio Orwell no anticipó: los ciudadanos mismos han creado y aceptado este sistema de vigilancia, especialmente a través de las redes sociales y la tecnología digital. Militarización y el papel de las milicias: Se discute el papel de las milicias en la historia de los EE.UU. y cómo, según Terrance, la constitución del país fue defendida inicialmente por milicias, no por un ejército regular. Este argumento es utilizado para justificar la existencia de milicias modernas que se preparan para resistir lo que perciben como un gobierno tiránico. Principales grupos conspirativos mencionados: El documento enumera varios grupos que son recurrentes en las teorías de conspiración, incluyendo el Grupo Bilderberg, los Illuminati, Bohemian Grove, el Consejo de Relaciones Exteriores CFR, y figuras como los Rothschild y los Rockefeller. Estos grupos y familias son vistos como los verdaderos poderes detrás de los gobiernos y las instituciones globales. Estos ejemplos de teorías conspirativas son fundamentales para entender el marco mental de Terrance y su comunidad. Cada teoría representa una pieza de un rompecabezas más grande, que juntos forman la visión de un mundo gobernado en secreto por una élite poderosa y despiadada. 7. Eventos Históricos Relacionados con Conspiraciones El documento también analiza varios eventos históricos que han sido reinterpretados por la comunidad conspiracionista como pruebas de conspiraciones masivas: Incidente del Lusitania y la Primera Guerra Mundial: Se menciona cómo el hundimiento del RMS Lusitania, un barco de pasajeros, fue utilizado como pretexto para que Estados Unidos entrara en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Terrance sugiere que este evento fue deliberadamente provocado para justificar la entrada del país en el conflicto. Incidente del Golfo de Tonkin y la Guerra de Vietnam: Similarmente, el incidente del Golfo de Tonkin es presentado como una fabricación destinada a justificar la guerra en Vietnam. Un documento desclasificado de la NSA que indica que el incidente nunca ocurrió es utilizado como prueba de esta manipulación. El 9/11 y sus teorías asociadas: El ataque del 11 de septiembre de 2001 es interpretado como un "ataque de falsa bandera", un evento creado o permitido por el propio gobierno de los EE.UU. para justificar la guerra en el Medio Oriente y la expansión del control interno a través de la seguridad nacional. Estos eventos históricos son fundamentales para el discurso conspirativo porque proporcionan precedentes de cómo, supuestamente, los gobiernos han manipulado a sus ciudadanos a lo largo del tiempo. Al conectar estos eventos, los conspiracionistas como Terrance construyen una narrativa que sugiere un patrón continuo de engaño y control. 8. Desaparición de Terrance En un momento determinado los documentalistas no logran ponerse en contacto con Terrance. Al final el casero les abre la puerta y ven que hay evidencias de lucha en la casa y que alguien ha desordenado las cosas de Terrance. Este no esta y sin embargo se ha dejado su tablón de recortes, que obviamente es un objeto muy valioso para el. Uno de los dos documentalistas, Aaron, decide llevarse los recortes de Terrance a su casa. Todo parece ir bien, hasta que en un momento dado algo hace click en la mente de Aaron y decide montar el puzzle que estaba haciendo Terrance. Su amigo ve lo que esta haciendo y cree que este se ha vuelto loco. Pero empieza a atar hilos y da con un patrón que lo lleva al club Tarsus. 9. Investigación sobre el Club Tarsus Uno de los hilos conductores más intrigantes del documento es la investigación sobre el Club Tarsus, una organización secreta que, según Aaron uno de los documentalistas, está detrás de muchos de los eventos más importantes del mundo. Esta organización es presentada como un retiro exclusivo para la élite global, donde se toman decisiones que afectan al futuro de la humanidad. El pseudo documental relata cómo Aaron descubre un patrón en las fechas de reuniones del Club Tarsus, las cuales preceden a eventos mundiales significativos. Un artículo escrito por un tal Mark Tucker y publicado en la revista Time en 2003, menciona estas reuniones y sugiere que los asistentes al Club Tarsus han jugado un papel en la configuración de la política global. Aunque el artículo fue censurado en su momento, la información que contiene es suficiente para que Aaron empiece a conectar puntos y formular una teoría de conspiración que gira en torno a esta organización. El Club Tarsus es descrito como un grupo de poderosos individuos que, desde la sombra, manipulan los mercados financieros, la política exterior, y otros aspectos críticos de la vida global. Se hace una analogía con la manipulación que ejercen las grandes corporaciones y las figuras políticas que participan en estas reuniones, sugiriendo que estos son los verdaderos gobernantes del mundo. 10. El Culto a Mitra En su investigación, Aaron también descubre lo que él cree es una conexión entre el Club Tarsus y el antiguo culto a Mitra. Este culto, que data de más de 4,000 años, tiene sus raíces en Persia y se extendió por todo el Imperio Romano. Según el documento, el culto a Mitra era tanto una asociación secreta como un culto religioso, y sus rituales y creencias podrían haber influido en las sociedades secretas modernas. El culto a Mitra es conocido por su ritual central, en el cual Mitra mata a un toro, una imagen que es comparada en el documento con la crucifixión en la cristiandad. Este rito de matar al toro es visto como un símbolo de poder y dominación, y se sugiere que las sociedades secretas modernas, incluyendo el Club Tarsus, podrían estar emulando estos antiguos ritos. El documento también menciona cómo algunas de las costumbres y prácticas de estas sociedades secretas podrían haber sido adoptadas de los mitraistas, como el apretón de manos, que según el texto, se originó en las ceremonias mitraicas. Este simbolismo refuerza la idea de que las élites modernas están conectadas con antiguos cultos y que su poder está enraizado en prácticas esotéricas. 11. Rituales del Club Tarsus Uno de los aspectos más oscuros y enigmáticos del documento es la descripción de los rituales que, según Terrance, tienen lugar en las reuniones del Club Tarsus. Se narra cómo los documentalistas logran infiltrarse en una de estas reuniones y grabar en secreto parte de un ritual, lo que supuestamente revela prácticas que van más allá de simples reuniones políticas o económicas. El ritual mencionado en el documento involucra la caza y masacre de un toro, un acto que es interpretado como una continuación de los antiguos rituales del culto a Mitra. La descripción del ritual es perturbadora y sugiere que estos actos tienen un significado profundo para los participantes, posiblemente relacionado con la reafirmación de su poder y control. La infiltración en el Club Tarsus, sin embargo, no solo revela los rituales, sino también el alto nivel de seguridad y secretismo que rodea estas reuniones. A pesar de la captura de imágenes y la obtención de información, el documento deja claro que quienes intentan exponer estas prácticas son rápidamente silenciados o desacreditados, manteniendo así la invisibilidad y el poder del Club. 12. Entrevista con William Jensen En una parte del documento se detalla una entrevista con William Jensen, fundador del Club Tarso Internacional, quien ofrece una perspectiva diferente sobre las acusaciones de conspiración. Jensen reconoce que el Club Tarsus ha sido objeto de numerosas teorías de conspiración, pero sugiere que estas teorías son simplemente una respuesta al hecho de que personas poderosas se reúnan y tomen decisiones que afectan al mundo. Jensen también discute cómo la globalización y la era de la información han creado un ambiente donde cualquier persona con una idea puede compartirla con millones, lo que ha facilitado la propagación de teorías de la conspiración. A pesar de esto, Jensen no niega que el Club Tarsus tiene influencia global, aunque trata de minimizar las acusaciones sugiriendo que lo que el club busca es una comunidad global unificada, un "Nuevo Orden Mundial", pero sin las connotaciones siniestras que le atribuyen los conspiracionistas. Esta entrevista es importante porque presenta el lado oficial de la historia, donde las reuniones del Club Tarsus son vistas como una fuerza positiva para la cooperación internacional y la creación de un mundo más interconectado. Sin embargo, para aquellos que ya están convencidos de las conspiraciones, las palabras de Jensen pueden parecer solo un intento de encubrimiento. 13. Conclusión El documento concluye con la desaparición de Aaron, uno de los investigadores que intentaba descubrir la verdad detrás del Club Tarsus. Esta desaparición, junto con la de Terrance, deja un sentimiento de inquietud y de preguntas sin respuesta. Se sugiere que aquellos que se acercan demasiado a la verdad son eliminados o forzados a desaparecer, lo que refuerza la narrativa conspirativa. La reflexión final del documento se centra en la idea de que, aunque estas teorías puedan parecer descabelladas, el hecho de que tantas personas crean en ellas indica una profunda desconfianza en las instituciones y un deseo de entender el mundo de una manera que las narrativas oficiales no pueden satisfacer. La película/documental cierra con un mensaje sobre la necesidad de cuestionar la realidad y estar alerta ante las fuerzas que podrían estar trabajando en las sombras para manipular a la humanidad. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Me gustaria hablar de catacumbas cristianas, hipogeos o Mitreos de culto a Mitra y como ambas religiones estuvieron juntas durante por lo menos 300 años y lógicamente se produjo una colusión entre ambas. Lo que podríamos denominar como sincretismo entre el cristianismo y el culto a Mitra. Veamos algunos aspectos en los que ambas religiones coincidían y no solo en la ventana temporal y el culto subterráneo, dado que el cristianismo inicio su andadura perseguido por Roma y el culto mitraico se celebraba en cuevas para festejar el nacimiento de Mitra en una cueva. Digamos que en ambos casos, Jesucristo en un pajar con animales y Mitra en una cueva, eligieron sitios poco elegantes para nacer. El mitraísmo tenía rasgos de profundo simbolismo moral como el cristianismo. Era un culto totalmente cerrado, cofradía, que en eso recuerda al cristianismo de los primeros siglos, con sus agrupamientos exclusivos y su culto enteramente secreto. El secreto del mitraísmo no era la fe sino los ritos. Ritos de sacrificio y mitos de sacrificio como en el cristianismo. Cristo entregado a la muerte para borrar los pecados de los hombres. La trinidad cristiana, a diferencia del dios único del judaísmo, se asemeja a la trinidad de los cultos politeístas mitríacos, Padre Zeus en grecia u Ormazd en Persia, Mitra y el toro, o sea Padre, hijo y espíritu santo. El joven dios era hermoso, valiente, puro y enseñaba una moral austera que practicaba él mismo como Jesucristo. En el mitraísmo, existían siete niveles de iniciación, que pueden estar relacionados con los siete planetas de la astronomía de la época (Luna, Mercurio, Venus, Sol, Marte, Júpiter y Saturno), en este mismo orden, según la interpretación de Joseph Campbell. La mayoría de los miembros llegaban únicamente, hasta el cuarto grado (leo) y solo unos escogidos accedían a los rangos superiores. Los niveles, conocidos gracias a un texto de San Jerónimo que confirman varias inscripciones, eran los siguientes: Corax (cuervo); Cryphius (κρύφιος) (oculto). Otros autores interpretan este rango como Nymphus (esposo); Miles (soldado). Sus atributos eran la corona y la espada; Leo (león). En los rituales presentaban a Mitra las ofrendas de los sacrificios; Perses (persa); Heliodromus (emisario solar). Sus atributos eran la antorcha, el látigo y la corona;. Pater (padre). Sus atributos (el gorro frigio, la vara y el anillo) recuerdan a los del obispo cristiano. En los ritos, los iniciados llevaban máscaras de animales relativas a su nivel de iniciación y se dividían en dos grupos: los servidores, por debajo del grado de leo y los participantes, el resto. Parece ser que el rito principal de la religión mitraica era un banquete ritual, que pudo tener ciertas similitudes con la eucaristía del cristianismo. En algún momento de la evolución del mitraísmo, se utilizó también el rito del taurobolium o bautismo de los fieles con la sangre de un toro. Se prometía la expiación de los pecados por el efecto del baño. Solo en este culto se unía al bautismo la imposición de un signo en la frente, como en la Iglesia cristiana. Los alimentos ofrecidos en el banquete eran pan y agua, pero los hallazgos arqueológicos apuntan a que se trataba de pan y vino, como en el rito cristiano. Esta ceremonia se celebraba en la parte central del mitreo, en la que dos banquetas paralelas ofrecían espacio suficiente para que los fieles pudieran tenderse, según la costumbre romana, para participar del banquete. El día sagrado del mitraísmo era el domingo, y no el sábado. El día natalicio del sol era celebrado por los mitraicos el 25 de diciembre ya que conmemoraba el nacimiento de Mitra. Los atributos del pater —máximo nivel de iniciación en el mitraísmo— eran el gorro frigio, la vara y el anillo, muy similares a la mitra, el báculo y el anillo de los obispos cristianos. Si. Por si no lo sabéis desde los primeros Padres de la Iglesia todos los obispos y papas han llevado un sombrero llamado Mitra arriba de sus cabezas.

Journalist and best-selling author Erik Larson joins Midday to discuss his latest book on the years leading up to the U.S. Civil War. The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War is a granular look at the events taking place in the five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln in November 1860 and the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861. The bombardment of the Union fort in South Carolina marked the beginning of the war. 6 of Larson's previous 8 books have become New York Times best-sellers, and his subject matter ranges widely. In The Devil in the White City, he wrote about the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and was a finalist for the National Book Award. He also authored histories of Winston Churchill, the final crossing of the Lusitania and the first ambassador to Nazi Germany.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

If you haven't heard of Erik Larson, you don't read enough non-fiction. A giant in the industry and an immense talent, Erik is turning his attention to the beginnings of the Civil War in his latest, The Demon of Unrest. It's the nail biting account of how we ended up turning guns against one another, North to South, with a specific focus on the stand off at Fort Sumter. Told through the eyes of rich characters through their unique perspectives, Larson brings new learning to an oft discussed topic…how the Union tore itself apart over slavery. You won't want to miss this one.
