Podcasts about masha amini

30ème émission de TOKIO radio, toujours et encore des rencontres fabuleuses, des conversations qui s'étirent jusqu'aux étoiles

Llegamos a la mitad de enero con muchas y muy buenas cintas, 'La semilla de la higuera sagrada' es una de ellas, una película denuncia de el cineasta iraní Mohamed Rasoulof, ambientada en la revolución del velo en Irán, que comenzó el 14 de septiembre de 2022, tras el asesinato de la joven Masha Amini. La película que consiguió el Premio del Jurado en Cannes, el del Público en San Sebastián es la candidata por Alemania a los Óscar y se encuentra entre las favoritas en la categoría internacional. Conversamos con José Corral de 'Norbert', su nueva película de animación con un mensaje muy optimista, que trata temas como la amistad, el amor y en especial la búsqueda de la felicidad. De una película familiar a una de adultos, 'Baygirl' de la directora y escritora Halina Reijn. Un thriller erótico "subidito" de tono donde vemos a una Nicole Kidman más arriesgada que nunca que comparte protagonismo con Antonio Banderas y Harris Dickinson. Nos detenemos también en otras dos cintas que llegan a las salas: 'Gloria', la película que inaugurará el próximo 15 de noviembre la 62 edición del Festival Internacional de Gijón y el debut de la directora Margherita Vicario, una historia que reivindica la memoria de las mujeres compositoras a lo largo de la historia y 'Adios Madrid' de Diego Corsini protagonizada por Luciano Cáceres, una de esas películas que conecta emocionalmente con el espectador y nos invita a reflexionar sobre las complejas relaciones familiares. Todo esto además del resto de la cartelera, las mejores series con Pedro Calvo y las secciones habituales.Escuchar audio

Invitée : Delphine Minoui. Deux ans après la mort de Masha Amini, tuée en septembre 2022 pour un voile mal ajusté, comment parler de la révolte "Femmes, vie, liberté" qui est toujours dʹactualité ? La journaliste franco-iranienne Delphine Minoui réussit ce pari dans un nouveau roman, en se mettant dans la peau dʹune ado. Elle est au micro de Carole Pirker. Réf bibliographique : Badjens, éd. du Seuil, août 2024, 152 p.

A exposição "Pour voir, ferme les yeux" [ Para ver, fecha os olhos] da artista plástica portuguesa, Ana Vidigal, está patente até ao dia 9 de Março, no Centro de Criação Contemporâneo Olivier Débre, em Tours. Em entrevista à RFI, Ana Vidigal diz que é pintora graças ao 25 de Abril, reivindica-se feminista para não ser masoquista e alerta para as constantes ameaças à democracia. RFI: Num mundo onde somos constantemente bombardeados pela informação, onde as câmaras dos telemóveis se sobrepõem ao nosso olhar. Que mensagem pretende passar com esta exposição?Ana Vidigal, artista plástica portuguesa: penso que as pessoas devem, em vez de reagir instintivamente, parar para pensar em que situação estamos a viver. Hoje em dia, aqui na Europa ou em qualquer parte do mundo.Daqui a menos de um mês, vamos assistir ao que se vai passar nos Estados Unidos, ficámos todos um pouco esperançados com esta nova candidatura. Confesso que também fiquei contente com o resultado das eleições aqui em França, porque seria, na minha opinião, perigosíssimo que a França perdesse valores democráticos, digamos assim, que demoraram muito tempo a ficarem consolidados.Porém, tive muita pena que Portugal comemorasse os 50 anos do 25 de Abril com 50 deputados da extrema-direita. Uma coisa que nunca tinha acontecido.Talvez devamos parar um pouco para pensar que devemos tratar melhor a democracia que temos. A democracia também “se gasta” e no dia em que ela se gastar, vai ser muito difícil recuperá-la.Estamos tão baralhados com a informação toda que temos, com toda a confusão mental que as imagens nos provocam, que fechar os olhos para pensar, nessas mesmas imagens, não quer dizer fechar os olhos para não ver! É fechar os olhos para pensar e poder fazer uma opção do que queremos ver.Nas suas obras explora o universo da verdade e da mentira. Em muitas das suas obras há uma parte que se pode ver e a outra não pode.Há presença do Pinóquio. É uma alusão ao que é verdade e ao que é mentira? Sim, hoje em dia estamos muito sujeitos a isso. São valores que nos foram incutidos desde crianças, para não mentirmos. Mas é inevitável que todos nós mentimos ao longo da vida. A mentira está a tornar-se cada vez mais uma ferramenta que é utilizada sem limites. Acho isso muito perigoso.No trabalho que faz recorre frequentemente a colagens, materiais têxteis, materiais ligados à sua infância- ao passado da sua infância- ou com carácter biográfico. Ao usar estes materiais, que importância lhe dá? A minha primeira escolha é sempre porque tenho uma grande identificação formal com esses objectos. Porém, a história dos objectos também me interessa bastante e gosto de saber [a sua história] mesmo quando eles me são oferecidos. Gosto de saber o que é que as pessoas fizeram com eles. Há sempre qualquer coisa a aprender com esses materiais.Muitos dos materiais com os quais trabalha foram-lhe deixados pela sua avó…Sim, a minha avó era uma excelente arquivista e guardou todas as coisas de família. Fê-lo porque podia, tinha uma casa grande. Foi professora, mas quando se casou deixou de trabalhar e, portanto, pôde fazer isso. E tinha esse prazer de delicadamente guardar todas essas coisas que chamava recordações. E foi extremamente generosa porque, era a única neta rapariga, disse-me sempre que podia mexer em tudo. Que podia abrir as caixinhas, os pacotinhos, as fotografias e os álbuns. E eu, confesso-lhe, espatifei tudo.Nesta exposição há uma instalação onde a Ana coloca uma série de porta-retratos da sua família, todos virados para a parede, não se vê as fotografias. Uma obra que lhe foi pedida para trabalhar a memória. É importante proteger-se a memória da família?A memória é uma coisa que trabalhamos e também só mostramos aquilo que queremos. Quando me pediram para fazer um trabalho sobre a memória, lembrei-me imediatamente dessas imagens e da imagem que eu tinha do escritório do meu avô. Em casa, o meu avô tinha uma prateleira, ao longo de todo o escritório, com todas as fotografias de antepassados familiares. Quando se desmanchou essa casa, o meu pai quis imediatamente deitar fora aquelas molduras todas e ficar só com as fotografias. Eu não deixei porque pensei sempre que aquilo era a memória que eu tinha do meu avô e quis sempre preservar aquilo. Sabia que um dia eu iria utilizar esses porta-retratos em qualquer coisa. Não sabia quando, nem como e nem em que contexto.No 25 de Abril a Ana tinha 14 anos…Foi em Abril e eu fiz 14 anos em Agosto.Que lembranças e vivências trouxe dessa época para o seu trabalho?Eu não trouxe propriamente nada do 25 de Abril para o meu trabalho. A única coisa que aconteceu é que hoje sou pintora porque houve o 25 de Abril. O 25 de Abril foi a melhor coisa que me aconteceu na vida. Foi muito bom ter acontecido com 13 anos, porque o resto da minha adolescência foi passado em liberdade.Eu não sabia que não se era livre. Pensava que toda a gente vivia como eu, o que não era verdade. Eu vivia numa bolha, andava num colégio de freiras, só convivia com pessoas da minha situação familiar e, portanto, achava que era tudo assim. Com o 25 de Abril caí na realidade. E foi óptimo ter caído na realidade porque pude, tipo esponja, criar os meus próprios valores. Valores que a democracia me deu. A sua mãe dizia-lhe que era preciso ser uma menina limpinha. A Ana criou uma obra a que deu o nome “Menina limpa e a menina suja”. O 25 de Abril permitiu-lhe ser a menina suja, a menina que se porta mal?O 25 de Abril permitiu que eu tivesse a noção de que podia optar e podia fazer escolhas e que essas escolhas teriam consequências. Coisa que possivelmente não aconteceria se não tivesse havido o 25 de Abril.Nesta exposição faz também uma homenagem às várias pintoras portuguesas…O 25 de Abril trouxe às mulheres portuguesas uma coisa absolutamente maravilhosa, que foi aquela ideia de liberdade. Mas nunca esquecer que o nosso 25 de Abril aconteceu em 2008, quando foi aprovada, na Assembleia da República, a despenalização da interrupção voluntária da gravidez a pedido da mulher. Só aí -nós mulheres portuguesas- fomos donas do nosso próprio corpo. Não quer dizer que a lei seja completamente cumprida. A Ana afirma que se tornou feminista para não ser masoquista…Claro! As mulheres ganham menos que os homens. As mulheres são preteridas porque engravidam. Com todas essas injustiças, só se eu fosse masoquista é que achava que essas coisas estavam correctas. Quando eu percebi que o movimento feminista só lutava para por um fim a essas desigualdades, exigir a paridade...É lógico que me tornei feminista.Nesta exposição o público pode ver a obra "Tornei-me Feminista para não ser Masoquista"Nela vêem-se imagens da Ana com pioneses colados na cara, outra onde tem um saco na cabeça e a última surge com uns cornos de diabo. Que mensagem pretende passar? Foi um domingo à tarde e é assim que se chama esse vídeo. Eu não gosto de trabalhar ao fim-de-semana, mas estava um bocado entediada e fui para o atelier. Não me apeteceu pintar e resolvi começar a fazer aquilo e foi uma sequência de coisas que foram acontecendo e mais tarde, quando eu vi o vídeo, comecei a identificar situações com aquelas coisas que eu tinha feito.Na obra está a frase de Mae West: ”Quando eu sou boa, sou boa. Mas quando sou má, sou ainda melhor”. Ao fim e ao cabo estou quase a rir-me de mim própria. Quer dizer, porque já me vi em situações tão caricatas que pensava que nunca me iria ver na vida, que só posso rir. Não posso fazer mais nada. Atrás de nós está uma obra que a Ana fez em homenagem à Masha Amini. O que é que representa esta obra?Esta obra representa exactamente esse retrocesso. Há imensas obras, que estão aqui na exposição, onde utilizo [as revistas francesas Paris Match e Jour de France] que eu li desde miúda, porque a minha avó as assinava. A censura não as proibia porque só deviam ver a Brigitte Bardot e o Alain Delon, nem percebiam que à frente tinha o Vietname e críticas ao Xá da Pérsia.Eu lembro-me de ver imagens do que era a Pérsia, agora o Irão, com todos os defeitos possíveis e imaginários, porque era uma ditadura, mas havia também o outro lado, que era o de abertura para as mulheres terem alguma liberdade.Hoje em dia, no Irão as mulheres são completamente esmagadas. Uma mulher que é morta porque não pôs o véu como meia dúzia de homens acham que ela deve pôr é inconcebível. Todavia é isto que acontece na maior parte dos países.Uma obra de arte também é uma arma para se veicular aquilo que se pensa?Acredito que se isso acontecesse, se calhar não teria havido a Segunda Guerra Mundial, não teria havido Hiroshima. Isto porque todos os artistas se manifestaram contra esse tipo de posições que os políticos tinham, mesmo contra o nazismo e [nada mudou]. Mas eu gostaria que fosse.Na sua obra há também referências a um acontecimento que é eminentemente político, a guerra colonial. Há um desenho que o seu pai fez das ex-colónias portuguesas. O seu pai que esteve na guerra na Guiné-Bissau. Que recordações guarda desse tempo? A Ana fez uma instalação com a correspondência que os seus pais trocaram, nesse período, “Penélope”.Sim, o meu pai fez a tropa, no tempo normal, e depois em 1967 foi chamado a segunda vez para fazer o curso para capitão. Esteve dois anos na Guiné-Bissau , esteve sempre no mato. Mas como ele era oficial veio a Lisboa, um mês em cada ano, mas ficámos praticamente dois anos sem o ver.Apesar de sermos crianças e de termos sido muito protegidos pela minha mãe, pelos meus avós, penso que tínhamos a noção de que ele poderia não voltar, poderia levar um tiro. Claro que também tínhamos aquela noção de que ele era o bom e os outros eram os maus, coisa que não era correcta. Hoje temos outro tipo de informação, sabemos outro tipo de coisas. Naquela altura não sabia que vivíamos uma ditadura. Eu penso que não há ninguém da minha geração que não tenha tido um primo, um tio, um pai ou um irmão na guerra colonial. A Ana considera que nunca se olhou para essas feridas. Nunca se olhou para o facto de que as mulheres ficaram à espera, sozinhas…Sim, é uma lacuna. Nunca se falou das mulheres que cá ficaram. Aguentar o barco porque os homens iam e as mulheres ficavam. Estamos aqui em frente a duas obras- dois labirintos – onde explora o passar do tempo. De que falam estas obras?São obras, em termos formais, sobre a alienação do espaço e do formato, em termos de concepção, de uma série que se chama “Matar o Tempo”. Foi uma série que fiz a partir de labirintos encontrados em revistas, que estão nas salas de espera dos hospitais, num período da minha vida em passei muito tempo nessas salas. Estava a acompanhar uma pessoa que estava a fazer uns tratamentos muito complicados e era uma maneira de eu matar o tempo e de sobreviver.Numa entrevista que deu, em 2010, à jornalista Anabela Mota Ribeiro, ela descreve a da seguinte forma: Ana Vidigal pinta quem é como os outros escrevem quem são. Continua a rever se nessa definição. Pinta como os outros escrevem quem são? Não sei!Mas é-lhe mais fácil falar de si e da sua história através da pintura, de manter vivo o universo infantil?Como são materiais que eu utilizo, penso que essa afirmação está correcta. Eu acho que sim. E como eu digo, muitas vezes, trabalho com esses materiais há 40 anos. Se em 2010 era assim, em 2024 também. Continuo a trabalhar de forma diferente, mas com os mesmos materiais. E nessas caixas ainda há mais materiais?Há imenso material. Tenho imensa coisa. Acho até que é um problema para as minhas sobrinhas. O que é que vão fazer com aquilo um dia que eu vá, como eu costumo dizer, para o Alto São João? Vai ser um problema...Mas acho eu, nestas coisas, sou muito prática. Tenho um amigo que é também um excelente arquivista, bastante mais novo que eu, e vou dizer-lhe para ajudar em tudo. Temos de ser práticos e pensar nestas coisas. Não deixar problemas para as gerações seguintes.

C dans l'air, l'invitée du 19 septembre : Anne-Isabelle Tollet, grand reporter pour le groupe Canal+, spécialisée depuis 2007 dans les zones sensibles telles que l'Afghanistan, le Pakistan et l'Iran, autrice de “Le Voyage interdit”. Il y a deux ans, Masha Amini était tuée par la police des mœurs en Iran pour un voile mal porté. Depuis, la jeunesse iranienne se mobilise chaque jour, bravant les interdits, les femmes sortant sans porter le voile, manifestant leur rage et leur volonté de changement. Le régime applique la terreur et 853 exécutions capitales ont eu lieu.Anne-Isabelle Tollet est grand reporter pour le groupe Canal+, spécialisée depuis 2007 dans les zones sensibles telles que l'Afghanistan, le Pakistan et l'Iran. Elle publie "Le Voyage interdit", aux éditions du Cherche-Midi, un récit de son séjour clandestin dans la République islamique d'Iran, en octobre 2023. Les plateformes de réseaux sociaux comme YouTube, X, Telegram, TikTok et Facebook sont bannies depuis plus de deux ans en Iran. Les autorités ont ensuite bloqué l'accès à Instagram et WhatsApp. Alors que le régime des ayatollahs a fermé l'un des seuls remparts qui restait à la jeunesse de laisser entrevoir leur résistance, elle parvient tout de même à déjouer cette censure numérique en faisant appel à des VPN pour témoigner de leur vie moyenâgeuse, en noir et blanc, en Iran.Arrivée à Téhéran, Anne-Isabelle Tollet rencontre un guide, dont la mission principale consiste à surveiller les touristes pour s'assurer qu'ils sont bien de vrais touristes et à leur faire visiter l'Iran. Mais la grand reporter menait en réalité une double vie la nuit en allant à la rencontre des Iraniens et des Iraniennes. Notamment de Shirin qui vit dans une résidence sur les hauteurs de Téhéran. À ce moment, "j'ai l'impression de découvrir une société totalement schizophrène, qui vacille de l'apparent au caché, du dehors hostile au dedans où l'on brave tous les interdits. Comme ici où l'alcool coule à flots alors que sa consommation est passible de 80 coups de fouet. Pour tout dire, plus je connais ce pays et plus il me paraît insaisissable". Bernard Guetta, député européen Renew Europe, disait cette semaine que "pour qu'un régime arrive à commettre un crime de masse, c'est qu'il crève de trouille", ajoutant que "ces monstres vont tomber". "Le Voyage interdit" d'Anne-Isabelle Tollet est un sursaut pour que la communauté internationale entende cette population iranienne qui aspire à des jours meilleurs mais se sent résignée petit à petit. Elle vient nous en parler à 17.25.

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari USA (Ret.) – Joined by Kenneth R. Timmerman, Executive Director of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran, on the first anniversary of the death of Masha Amini to discuss the future of U.S. foreign policy, about the 6 billion USD release of Iran oil dollars for hostages, the Abraham Accords, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) links of support for Iran.

On Monday, five Americans who were imprisoned in Iran, stepped off a plane in Doha, Qatar. They were freed as part of a prisoner exchange deal between the U.S. and Iran.Despite the happy news, the Biden administration is facing a lot of criticism for this deal, which also gave Iran access to about $6 billion of its oil revenue - money that had been frozen under sanctions targeting the government in Tehran. The deal also comes just a little over a year after the death of a young Kurdish-Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini. Her death sparked the biggest anti-regime protests that Iran had seen in years. NPR's Arezou Rezvani tells us about the legacy of those protests a year later. We also hear reporting from NPR's Michele Kelemen about the U.S.-Iran prisoner swap. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Vi hører mindre om Iran i nyhetsbildet enn da Masha Amini ble drept og protestene pågikk i Iran. Hva har skjedd? Protesteres det fremdeles? Vil iranerne lykkes med å fjerne prestestyret fra makten?Gjest: statsviter og politisk rådgiver i Human Rights Research League Milica Javdan

Four Iranian emigrants talk about their homeland one year after the death of Masha Amini, and Laurent Uhres tells us about the inspiration behind his book. Iran - the situation one year on Masha Amini died on 16 September 2022, aged just 22 years, in the hands of the morality police in Tehran, Iran. Since then, there's been international coverage of the bravery of other women, and men, in the face of the morality police. Mass protests, crackdowns, women defying the defined dress code... things seem to have taken an immovable turn towards personal choice for women. My guests include Vahid Beheshti, an Iranian-born British independent journalist Human Rights Activist, and Director of DorrTV. He went on a 72 day hunger strike camping outside the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) to ask the UK government to proscribe the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) an international terrorist organization, now backed by 125 MPs. Shabnam Sabzehi is an Iranian-American activist living in Luxembourg since 2014. Shabnam left Iran aged just 17 and has not been able to return since. After Mahsa Amini's death, Shabnam has been busy amplifying the voices of #WomanLifeFreedom movement. Shabnam is the co-founder of Iranian Diaspora Luxembourg. Nahid Mohammadi worked in the banking sector in Iran for 14 years and talks to us about that experience. She moved to Luxembourg in 2017 to pursue an MSc at the university here. Hooman Eslami brings us the Bahai perspective. His family faced discrimination due to their faith. Bahais are not allowed to study in official universities and so have founded their own, unofficial institution, BIHE University, despite government pressure to shut it down. In 2017, Hooman relocated to Luxembourg to pursue a master's degree, and now PhD at the University of Luxembourg. All of these guests are putting their own life and their families lives at risk in Iran by speaking out. "Creative Convergence" Laurent Uhres is a Luxembourger living in Poland. Throughout his life, Laurent has combined tech knowledge, innovation, education and music in a whole range of careers. This has culminated in his book, Creative Convergence, which delves into the connections between disciplines, demonstrating their interdependence and collective potential for innovation. By examining the fusion of art, science, engineering, and design, the book reveals how interdisciplinary collaboration can lead to remarkable breakthroughs and shape our world. The book presents a rich tapestry of inspiring examples and compelling stories of individuals and teams who have pushed the limits of human knowledge and creativity. The book was inspired by the "Abstract: The Art of Design" episode on Netflix about and with Neri Oxman. Neri introduces "The Krebs Cycle of Creativity," a concept based on the Krebs cycle in biochemistry. Her cycle provides insights into the interplay of science, engineering, design, and art.

This week, President Joe Biden announced that he was unfreezing $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds as part of a broader deal that involves an important prisoner swap. The deal has drawn howling from the usual suspects, those who believe any diplomatic course with Iran spells weakness and blunder. Sina Toossi, an expert in U.S.-Iran relations and senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, joined us this week to talk about the deal and how attempts by hawks to coerce regime change in Iran has actually made things worse, for all involved, including the people of Iran. We also talk about the legacy of Masha Amini, whose detention and death in jail a year ago sparked nationwide protests and societal turmoil, reaching the highest levels of the country's repressive theocracy.In the first segment, Kelley and Dan talk about Ukraine and the latest 'red line' the White House has threatened to cross: giving long-range ATACM missiles to Ukraine.More from Sina Toossi:The US-Iran Prisoner Swap: A Breakthrough or a Band-Aid?

This Saturday marks the one-year anniversary of the death in police custody of 22 year old Kurdish-Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini in Iran. Paola Rivetti, DCU School of Law joins us.

durée : 00:58:31 - Avec philosophie - par : Géraldine Muhlmann - Depuis la mort de Masha Amini, le 16 septembre dernier, nombre d'Iraniennes se sont filmées en train de se couper les cheveux et sont descendues dans la rue crier leur colère face au régime en place et à la loi instaurée depuis la révolution islamique de 1979. - invités : Johanne Le Ray Chercheuse en littérature française, enseignante à l'Université Paris Nanterre et traductrice de littérature américaine; Mahnaz Shirali Sociologue, politologue et spécialiste de l'Iran ; Odile Tourneux Docteure en philosophie de l'Université de Lyon et professeure agrégée au lycée Albert Triboulet de Romans sur Isère

Episode Description: We are talking about "Women, Life and Freedom" today with Poppy Farsijani. That Kurdish slogan was the battle cry following the death of Masha Amini. Today Poppy is revealing her documentary of the same name and her amazing story of being an americanized teenager living in Brooklyn who was brought back to Tehran at the age of 16. This culture shock ignited a revolution inside her to actively expose injustices in her home country. Are you burnt out? Exhausted? Need a break? Get your magic back! Come to Warrior Women Camp!

She is weaving her story of working in Iran's Channel 6 news where she and other news anchors were forced to falsify news with sources that have never before gone on record revealing the criminal acts of the regime.

Die Demonstranten der Leipziger Montagsdemonstrationen hielten Kerzen in den Händen, die zu einem Symbol der Friedlichen Revolution wurden. Als 2014 in Hongkong tausende Menschen mit Regenschirmen für mehr Demokratie auf die Straße gingen, sprachen Medien von der „Regenschirm-Revolution“. Seit dem Tod von Masha Amini im September 2022 schneiden sich Frauen weltweit die Haare ab als Zeichen der Solidarität für die protestierenden Menschen im Iran. In unserer Veranstaltung fragen wir, wie Widerstand aussieht.

C dans l'air, l'invité du 9 mai avec François-Henri Désérable, écrivain voyageur, auteur de “L'Usure d'un monde”, publié aux éditions Gallimard. Fin 2022, en Iran, au plus fort de la répression, suite à la mort de Masha Amini, jeune Iranienne de 22 ans arrêtée par la police des mœurs pour "port de vêtements inappropriés", François Henri Désérable, écrivain, part sillonner le pays pendant 42 jours. De ce périple, il a tiré un récit de voyage dans lequel il revient sur l'Iran d'aujourd'hui, en colère contre la brutalité du régime en place. La plupart des articles sur les soulèvements qui avaient lieu depuis la mort de Mahsa Amini soulignaient que la peur avait changé de camp. François-Henri Désérable l'affirme : c'était faux. "Elle avait peut-être gagné le camp d'en face, elle avait peut-être atteint le régime des mollahs, peut-être même que l'ayatollah Khamenei était pris de peur, à la nuit tombée, quand il se glissait sous ses draps pendant que les rues du pays s'embrasaient, mais la peur, on a beau dire, n'avait pas changé de camp". Si un essoufflement du mouvement est visible, la colère du peuple iranien reste intacte, selon plusieurs chercheurs. Face à cette colère aux expressions diverses, le régime iranien reste sourd et continue d'employer la force. Hier, lundi 8 mai, une agence d'information de l'autorité judiciaire iranienne a annoncé que 2 hommes ont été exécutés par pendaison en Iran pour avoir brûlé un exemplaire du Coran et insulté le prophète Mahomet. De son côté, ce samedi 6 mai, l'Organisation iranienne des droits de l'homme, une ONG basée en Norvège, a accusé l'Iran d'avoir procédé à au moins 42 exécutions en 10 jours. Parmi les condamnés, 22 sont membres de la minorité baloutche, des habitants du Sistan-et-Baloutchistan, province marginalisée du Sud-Est peuplée majoritairement de sunnites. François-Henri Désérable, écrivain voyageur, auteur de "L'Usure d'un monde", publié aux éditions Gallimard, reviendra sur son récit de voyage qu'il a tiré après avoir sillonné l'Iran pendant 42 jours fin 2022. Il nous racontera ce qu'il a vu sur places, ses rencontres avec un peuple qui lutte pour sa liberté, et sur la brutalité du régime…

Ikiwa leo ni siku ya kimataifa ya uhuru wa vyombo vya habari , waandishi wa habari watatu wanawake nchini Iran ambao kwa sasa wanatumikia kifungo wametangazwa kuwa washindi wa tuzo ya uhuru wa vyombo vya habari ya shirika la umoja wa Mataifa la elimu, sayansi na utamaduni UNESCO/Guillermo Cano kufuatia mapendekezo ya jopo la majaji wa kimataifa wa tasnia ya habari.  Washindi hao Niloofar Hamedi, Elaheh Mohammadi and Narges Mohammadi ushindi wao umetanmgzwa na Audrey Azouley mkurugenzi mkuu wa UNESCO katika hafla maalum iliyofanyika hapa makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa New York Marekani."Sasa kuliko wakati mwingine wowote, ni muhimu kutoa pongezi kwa waandishi wa habari wanawake wote ambao wanazuiwa kufanya kazi zao na ambao wanakabiliwa na vitisho na mashambulizi dhidi ya usalama wao. Leo tunaenzi kujitolea kwao kwa dhati na uwajibikaji”.Naye alisema Zainab Salbi, mwenyekiti wa Baraza la Kimataifa la wanataaluma wa vyombo vya habari. Amesema "Tumejizatiti kuenzi kazi ya ujasiri ya waandishi wa habari wanawake wa Iran ambao kuripoti kwao kulisababisha mapinduzi ya kihistoria yaliyoongozwa na wanawake. Wamelipa gharama kubwa kwa kujitolea kwao kuripoti na kueleza ukweli. Na kwa ajili hiyo, tumedhamiria kuwaenzi na kuhakikisha sauti zao zitaendelea kusikika duniani kote hadi wawe salama na huru,” Niloofar Hamedi anaandikia gazeti la kila siku la Shargh la wanamageuzi. Alitangaza habari za kifo cha Masha Amini kufuatia kuzuiliwa kwake chini ya ulinzi wa polisi tarehe 16 Septemba 2022.Niloofar anashikiliwa kizuizini kwenye kifungo cha upweke katika Gereza la Evin la Iran tangu Septemba 2022.Elaheh Mohammadi anaandikia gazeti la wanamageuzi, Ham-Mihan, linaloangazia masuala ya kijamii na usawa wa kijinsia.Aliripoti kuhusu mazishi ya Masha Amini, naye pia amezuiliwa katika Gereza la Evin tangu Septemba 2022.Hapo awali alikuwa alipigwa marufuku kuripoti kwa mwaka mmoja mwaka  2020 kutokana na kazi yake.Niloofar Hamedi na Elaheh Mohammadi ni washindi wa pamoja wa tuzo ya kimataifa ya Uhuru wa Vyombo vya Habari 2023, tuzo ya wanahabari ya Canada ya uhuru wa kujieleza (CJFE), na Tuzo ya Harvard ya Louis M.

Ameendelea kuripoti kwa maandishi kutoka gerezani, na pia amewahoji wafungwa wengine wanawake.Mahojiano haya yalijumuishwa katika kitabu chake "White Torture" mwaka 2022, alishinda tuzo ya ujasiri ya waandishi wasio na mipaka (RSF).Kwa mujibu wa UNESCO ulimwenguni kote, wanahabari wanawake na wafanyikazi wa vyombo vya habari wanakabiliwa na ongezeko la mashambulizi ya nje ya mtandao na mtandaoni na wanakabiliwa na vitisho maalum na visivyo vya kawaida.Unyanyasaji wa kijinsia wanaokabiliwa nao ni pamoja na unyanyapaa, kauli za  chuki za kijinsia, kukandamizwa, kushambuliwa kimwili, ubakaji na hata mauaji. UNESCO inatetea usalama wa waandishi wa habari wanawake na inashirikiana na wadau wengine kutambua na kutekeleza mazoea mazuri na kushirikiana mapendekezo na pande zote zinazohusika katika kukabiliana na mashambulizi dhidi ya waandishi wa habari wanawake, kama inavyotambuliwa na maazimio mengi ya Umoja wa Mataifa.UNESCO pia inashirikiana na mashirika maalumu kutoa mafunzo kwa wafanyakazi wa vyombo vya habari wanawake mashinani na kupitia kozi za mafunzo ya mtandaoni, na inafanya kazi na vikosi vya usalama ili kuwahamasisha kuhusu uhuru wa kujieleza kwa kuzingatia jinsia.

Era il 16 settembre 2022 quando, a Teheran, Masha Amini moriva per una ciocca di capelli fuori posto. Da allora le proteste per i diritti delle donne hanno animato le strade e le piazze della Repubblica islamica e del mondo. Dall'Iran all'Ucraina, dove lo stupro è un'arma di guerra, fino alla Costa d'Avorio, dove la mutilazione genitale è ancora una pratica diffusa, vi proponiamo un viaggio per il mondo alla scoperta delle battaglie che le donne affrontano ogni giorno.

durée : 00:04:39 - Le zoom de la rédaction - Cinq mois après la mort de Masha Amini, le mouvement de protestation se poursuit en Iran, mené en grande partie par des jeunes femmes révoltées. Certaines d'entre elles ont décidé de fuir vers l'Irak pour rejoindre l'opposition kurde installée dans ce pays et les camps de combattantes Peshmergas.

Today we are visiting with the one and only Shirin Neshat, who hardly needs introduction. If you've ever taken an art history class that covers video art, photography, international cinema, or for that matter contemporary opera, you've definitely seen Shirin's work. Since her debut exhibition in 1993 at Franklin Furnace, Shirn's work has offered a deeply personal yet universal perspective on womanhood, power, corruption, trauma, and the female body as the battleground of social and political manipulation. All of this in Shirin's work is of course informed very much by her experience as an Iranian immigrant, who moved to the US at age seventeen just prior to the revolution, and since then has lived ostensibly in exile. These themes in her work however are quite universal, which is something Shirin spoke to expensively in our chat when we discussed her latest work which just so happens to be on view as we speak. Her latest exhibition at Gladstone Gallery titled The Fury is on view until March 4th, you've got a whole month to check it out, and this show features new works including a photo series and a large video installation in Shirin's signature black and white with two channels of video on opposite walls, that harkens all the way back to her iconic 1998 video installation Turbulent. We discuss all this and more in our chat, as well as Shirin's perspective on the ongoing protests and movement in Iran sparked by the death of Masha Amini — which of course is deeply related to the themes that have been present in Shirin's work for decades.Today's episode, and the many more artist interviews coming your way this year was made possible thanks to generous support from wonderful folks at the Kramlich Art Foundation.Links from the conversation with Shirin> The Fury: https://www.gladstonegallery.com/exhibition/10596/the-fury/installation-views Get access to exlusive content - join us on Patreon!> https://patreon.com/artobsolescenceJoin the conversation:https://www.instagram.com/artobsolescence/Support artistsArt and Obsolescence is a non-profit podcast, sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts, and we are committed to equitably supporting artists that come on the show.

Transcript This Year in the Apocalypse 2022 Brooke 00:15 Hello and welcome to Live Like the World is Dying, your podcast for what feels like the end times. I'm Brooke Jackson, your co-host for this episode, along with the indomitable Margaret killjoy. Margaret 00:27 Hiiii Brooke 00:28 We have something extra special for you. Hi, Margaret. You might be familiar with the monthly segment we started in 2022: This Month in the Apocalypse, and today we will take that into a sub segment: This Year in the Apocalypse. But, first we have to shout out to another member of the Channel Zero network of anarchists podcasts, but playing a little jingle from one of our comrades, Boo doo doo doo, doo doo. Brooke 01:18 And we're back. So, before I tell people about this extra special episode, I want to officially say "Hello," to my co host, Margaret. Hi, Margaret. Margaret 01:36 Hello, how are you? Brooke 01:38 I'm doing okay. How are you doing? Margaret 01:42 I'm doing terrible, and I'm not going to talk about it. Brooke 01:45 Okay, that's fair. That sounds like me most of the time. Okay, well, speaking of terrible, how did the last year treat you now that we've flipped the calendar? Is there anything you would like to say to the year 2022? Margaret 01:59 You know, it's fine. It's just the year 2020 part three. As far as the other parts of the year 2020, it's been...it was chiller, then parts one and two. Not from a climate point of view, but from a fascism point of view. Brooke 02:21 Oh, okay. That's a good point. Well, I feel like 2022 as with most years....Sorry. What, Margaret? Margaret 02:30 Everything's fine. Nothing bad happened. That's the end of the episode. Brooke 02:33 Always. Margaret 02:34 Everything's good. Brooke 02:35 Okay, cool. Well, this has been a fun recording. Yeah. Well, as with most years, in the last decade, I say, "Fuck you to 2022," and would like to burn it all down. So, we have that going for us. Margaret 02:51 Alright, fuck you, 2022. I do that when I leave a state. Brooke 02:58 You say, "Fuck you," to the State behind you? Margaret 02:59 Yeah, yeah. Brooke 03:01 Even even Oregon, even when you came to visit us out here? Margaret 03:05 Why would I? Why would Oregon be any different? Brooke 03:08 Because some of the people you love are in Oregon. Margaret 03:16 Whatever, fuck you too....I mean, many of the people I love were also in the year 2022. Brooke 03:21 Okay, all right. You got me. Margaret 03:24 Okay. Brooke 03:24 One point: Margaret , zero points: Brooke. Margaret 03:26 Yep, that's what I was saying. Brooke 03:27 Yeah. So. So, I was thinking about how we do this extra fun, special episode of This Year in the Apocalypse. And being typical Brooke, I was like, let's come up with a very orderly fashion in which to do this. I shall take all of the months and pick one thing per month, and we shall be organized. And spoiler alert for the audience. Margaret and I came up with separate lists. We haven't seen each other's lists. We don't know what each other shittiest things are. Margaret 03:53 Wait, I didn't pick the shittiest things. I just picked stuff. Brooke 03:56 Oh, damn, I pick the shitty stuff. Margaret 04:00 Okay, well, I tried to go with a little bit of, there's not a lot of hope in here. There's a little bit of hope in here. Brooke 04:08 It's funny, because when I was thinking about this, I was like, oh, Margaret should do the happy stuff, because Margaret does Cool People. And I can be the the Roberts Evans, everything's bastards side of the simulation. Margaret 04:20 Okay, well, it's a good thing we're figuring this out right now, on air. Brooke 04:23 Right? Margaret 04:24 Okay. So, we'll start with your month by month and then I'll interject? Margaret 04:28 That's fine. Brooke 04:28 Super fun. Yeah. And like a disclaimer on the month by month is that not all months were created equal. So, it's like, whatever the shittiest thing in one month, maybe, you know, way shittier than next month. That's annoying to like, try and compare them in that way. It was a silly way for me to do it, but.. here we are. Brooke 04:30 All right. flashing back 12 months to January, 2022: America hit a million COVID cases with Omicron surging, so Good job America. COVID ongoing and bad. Margaret 05:04 We're number one. Brooke 05:06 Yeah. The other the other real shitty, horrible thing in January was inflation, which technically was pretty crappy in 2021, as well. But we started feeling it more in January like that's when it started hitting and then was kind of ongoing throughout this year as businesses responded to the inflation, had to start raising prices and stuff. Well, had to...some had to, some chose to because they could get away with it. Margaret 05:34 Should I? I wrote down all the inflation numbers for the end of the year. Brooke 05:39 Yeah, baby. Margaret 05:41 The OECD, which stands for something something something, it's a group of 38 countries that sit around and talk about how great they are, or whatever economic something, something. You think I would have written it down. They do. They calculate inflation for their member countries, based on the Consumer Price index. It averaged. This is as of October, the report in December, talks about it as of October, it averaged about 10.7% overall inflation across these 38 countries in the last year. Food averaged at...I wrote down 6.1%. But, I actually think it was slightly higher than that. I think I typo-ed that. Brooke 06:22 In the US was closer to 8%. Margaret 06:26 Yeah, and then, okay. More developed nations saw this all a little bit lower the G7, which is the Group of Seven, it's the seven countries who have the elite cool kids club, and try and tell everyone what to do. Their overall inflation was 7.8%, as compared to the 10.7%. Inflation in the US actually tapered off most than most other countries, probably because we fuck everyone else over, but I couldn't specifically tell you. Inflation is a bit of a black box that even the people who know what inflation is don't really understand. And, energy inflation in general was the most brutal. Italy saw 70% energy inflation in the last year. It was 58%. In the UK, it was 17% in the US. So energy, inflation is actually outpacing even food inflation. And most of the food inflation, as we've talked about, at different times on this is caused by rising costs of fertilizer and like diesel and things like that. Yeah, that's what I got about inflation. There was a lot of it. It's technically tapering off a little bit in the United States. Just this moment. Brooke 07:41 Yeah, I was actually listening to a economics report about that yesterday about how it's tapering off a little bit. The extra shitty thing that happened in February, which added to the drastically increasing fuel prices and food prices, was that fucking Russia invaded Ukraine,and started bombing shit there. Margaret 08:04 Boo. Brooke 08:06 And that that might win as...if we're taking a poll here of all of the worst things that happened in the last year, I kind of feel like that, you know, that's got to be one of the top three. Margaret 08:16 It's, it's up there. Yeah. Even in terms of its effects on the rest of the world, even like, if you're like, on a, well, what do I care about what two European countries are doing? Because, but it affects the shit out of the global south. Ukraine in particular, and also Russia providing a very large percentage of the grain and wheat that goes to, especially Africa. So, yeah, a lot of the energy inflation in the rest of Europe is also a direct result of Russian imperialism. Brooke 08:47 Yeah, it's pretty...it's fucked up a lot of stuff. There was another shitty thing that happened before that happened in February, which is what the Olympics began. And you know, Boo the Olympics. Yeah. So then we then we moved into March and there was this thing called COVID. And then there was this bad inflation happening and then this war over in Ukraine, but then we also, in Florida decided to pass a bill, the nicknamed 'Don't Say Gay' bill. Margaret 09:18 Yeah. I can't believe that was less than a year ago. That was like eight culture wars ago. Brooke 09:26 I know, because I got some of the other ones coming up here. And it was like, oh, fuck, that's still a thing. And then moving into April, so, there was like this war going on, and inflation was bad, and people were dying of this pandemic that we were living in, and then also, the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial began. And that might not seem like one of the shittiest things, but for like anyone who's been a survivor of domestic violence, and the way that trial it seemed like you know, every social media platform like you were getting like ads for it. Right? I know, other people talked about this, like everyone was seeing all these ads for news reports on it. It was like way at the top of the list. And, you know, again, domestic abuse survivor, like, I don't, I don't need to be reminded about, you know, this awful ongoing domestic abuse trial. Margaret 10:19 Yeah, yeah, that was, um, I like try to avoid everything that has to do with celebrities, but realizing how much that that like, ties into, I don't know, how we all talk about all of this shit. I have nothing really clever to say besides like, oh, my God, it's so fucked up. And I don't trust mainstream discourse around any of it. Yeah, Brooke 10:39 For sure. We also saw because of climate issues, Lake Mead was dropping to dangerously low levels, starting all the way in April. And I feel like we could have done this whole episode on climate catastrophes that happened in the last year, like This Year in the Apocalypse could have just been climate change. It was a lot. Margaret 11:00 Yes, well, fortunately that will start overriding everything else over the next couple of years. So, you know....One or the other just to Lake thing on my note, Lake Powell, which provides power to 4.5 million people could reach minimum power pool status by July [2023]. So that's a that's an upcoming thing to look forward to. Brooke 11:29 Yay, for the year ahead. Yeah, I don't even know what the status of Lake Mead is right now. I'm sure it's not doing great. And we'll probably start hearing about it again in the spring as it's at dangerously low levels, find more bodies and boats and whatever else. Margaret 11:46 And they're both. Both are on the Colorado River. Yeah, they're both on the Colorado River. Brooke 11:51 Yeah. And if you're not familiar with why Lake Mead matters, John Oliver actually did a really good piece on it on his show that talks about the water rights and stuff. I think it was John Oliver. Maybe it was John Stewart. Margaret 12:07 And if you want to read a terrible...a very good, although misogynist dystopia about what's coming in terms of water rights, there's a book called "The Water Knife" by Paulo [Bacigalupi], whose name last name I don't know how to pronounce. It's an Italian name. I think yeah, Brooke 12:21 I actually have that on my to-read-shelf. Margaret 12:23 Yeah, it's, um, that man should not be allowed to write sex worker characters ever again. Brooke 12:29 Thank you for the notice there on what to expect on that aspect. Margaret 12:34 But other than that, other than that, it's very interesting book. Brooke 12:40 Okay. May brought us a couple of big bad shootings, which is, you know, not again, not to diminish any other school shootings or shootings that happened or the fact that they're going on, you know, all the time in schools, but they were the ones that like, hit the news, really big. There was the Buffalo, New York supermarket shooting that happened. And then the towards the end of the month was that just God awful Robb Elementary School shooting in Texas, that I don't know how everyone else experienced it. But I, as a parent, you know, whose child who's only slightly older than that. It was absolutely horrifying for me and enraging, and I had a lot of feelings about it. And you know, school shootings are always hard to see, but that one in particular... Margaret 13:29 This is the coward cops one, where they kept parents out who were the parents who were trying to like save kids? Brooke 13:33 Yeah, for like 72 minutes or something like that, more than that they were outside the door where the guy was actively shooting on children. Margaret 13:41 This is...the character of American law enforcement was laid bare on that day, is how I feel. I mean, I have many feelings on all of it, but... Brooke 13:53 And that was in Uvalde, Texas, where they have two separate police systems. There is a police system just for the schools there in addition to the town's police. Margaret 14:07 There was that, uh, there was that lawsuit 10,15,20 years ago, something, where a man who was like, I think it was someone who's like stabbing people on the train, you know, just like, just just doing that thing. And, and a man stopped him, stopped the stabby guy while the cops cowered in behind, like they went into, like the driver's compartment of the train, and they just hid from the stabby guy. And the the guy stopped the stabby guy sued...I might have the details of this wrong. Sued and was like, the police have a duty to protect people. And it came back, the judge is like, "Actually they don't, it is literally not the jobs. The police's job is not to protect you. That is not their job." And, the sooner we all realize that the safer we'll be, because the more people will realize that safety is something that we're going to have to build without the infrastructure that pretends to offer a safety, but absolutely does not. And legally is not required to. Brooke 14:21 Yeah, I didn't know all the backstory of that. But, I know that that one went to the Supreme Court. And that became, you know, the national standard, because I remember reading about that part of it that, yeah, they don't, they don't have they don't have a duty to protect. Margaret 15:27 I think it was the stabby guy on the train. But I, you know, I'm not like a classic thing rememberer, it's not like my skill set. I didn't put my points in character creation in memory. Brooke 15:41 Well important thing there is was the the outcome of that. The other big bad shooting I remember making the news pretty loudly this year was also the Highland Park Parade shooting that actually happened in July. So that was a couple of months later. But yeah, good times. Guns. Margaret 15:58 Hurray. [sadly] Brooke 15:59 All right. So, we moved into June. And a couple of things are going on, on the global stage. Flooding began in Pakistan. And that flooding continued for a couple of months. We talked about this on one of our This Month, episodes, and even to right now, there is still flooding. And that flooding that did occur, you know, has displaced 1000s, if not millions of people. And it's really, really fucked things up and continues to fuck things up in Pakistan. Margaret 16:25 And I would say that flooding in general, is one of the things that we're seeing more and more of all over the world. And it's one of the things that like...I think a lot of people and maybe I'm just projecting, but you know, I grew up thinking of floods as sort of a distant thing. And then actually where I lived, most recently, we all had to leave because of constant flooding as climate changed. And I think that floods need to be something....It's the opposite of quicksand. When you're a kid you think about quicksand is like this thing to like, worry about, and then you grow up and realize that like quicksand is like not...don't worry about quicksand. That's not part of your threat modeling. And, so I think that flooding is something that whether or not it was on something that you were really worried about, wherever you live, it is something that you should pay attention to. It's not like, a run out and worry, right. But, it's a thing to be like more aware of, you know, there was recent...New Years in San Francisco and Oakland, there was really bad flooding. And then again, a couple of days later, might still be going on by the time people listen to this, but I'm not actually sure. And you know, there's the footage of people running out with like boogie boards or surfboards or whatever into the streets and, and playing in the flood. And, I'm not actually going to sit here on my high horse and tell people to never go into floodwater, you shouldn't, it is not a thing you should do, but it is a thing that people do. But I think people don't recognize fast moving currents, how dangerous they are, just how dangerous floods are, no matter how they look. And, if there's more than a foot of water, don't drive through it. Brooke 17:58 Yeah, if you're not experienced with floods, those are things you wouldn't know. So I have, you know, you said, that wasn't a big thing in your childhood, but because of where I live, it you know, I don't know if this is true of all the Pacific Northwest, but certainly, in my town, flooding is a big concern, we''re right on a river, and when there was bad rainstorms back in 96', like most of downtown got flooded. I mean, I was I was a kid then. I was I was a youth. And that experience, you know, kind of informed some of my youth, you know, we had a lot of lessons learned about how to manage flooding, what you do and don't do inflooding. So that's something that's been in the forefront of my mind. And yeah, as I see other people dealing with flooding for the first time in the news, it's like, oh, no, no, you don't. No. That's bad. Don't do that. Don't go in those waters. But it's their first time. They wouldn't know. Margaret 18:53 Yeah. Unless you were like, directly saving something or someone, especially someone, and then even then you have to know what you're doing. You know, they're a bigger deal, even smaller ones are a bigger deal than you realize, I guess is the thing to say about floods. Anyway, so Okay, so where are we at? Brooke 19:10 We're still in June, because there was, you know, in addition to the inflation, and the flooding, and the heat waves, and the war going on, and people dying of a pandemic, this little thing happened in the US where the Supreme Court's overturned a little a little old law called Roe v. Wade. Margaret 19:29 That was about two different ways of interacting with water? [joking] Brooke 19:33 Yes, exactly. Ties, ties, right and flooding there. Yeah. It was just a minor... Margaret 19:39 Yeah, that's my joke about people losing their capacity to control their own bodies. Just a little light hearted joke. Very appropriate. Brooke 19:48 As a person with a uterus, I genuinely can't...i can't joke about that one. Like, it's just too close to home. Margaret 19:54 Yeah, fair enough. I'm sorry. Brooke 19:57 No, it's I'm glad that you are, because it is good to laugh about these things that are actually very upsetting. It's how, it's part of our, you know, grieving process, how we deal with it as being able to laugh a little bit. Margaret 20:08 Yeah. Yeah, although and then, you know, okay, so we've had this like, fight, you know, America's polarizing really hard about a lot of very specific issues: people's ability to control the reproductive systems being a very major, one people's ability to control their hormonal systems and the way they present being another one, I'm sure I'll talk about that more. And, you know, the, the weirdly positive thing that happened this week that I started writing notes about, but didn't finish, is about how there's now...they're changing the laws about how the accessibility of abortion pills and so that they're going to be available in more types of stores for more people in the near future. This will not affect people who are in abortion ban states. So it's this polarization, it's becoming easier to access reproductive health and control in some states, and it's becoming harder and illegal to access it in other states. My other like, positive...It's not even a positive spin. It's the glint of light in the darkness is that abortion was illegal for a very long time in the United States, and people did it, and had access to it and not as well, and it is better when it is legal. Absolutely. But underground clinics existed. And people did a lot of work to maintain reproductive health. And now we have access to such better and safer tools for reproductive health, whether you know, it's access to abortion pills, or just everything about reproductive health has...we know a lot more about it as a society than at least medical and Western, you know, methods of abortion. We know a lot more about than we did a couple decades ago. And then, the other big thing that I keep thinking about...so there was the Jane Collective, right, in the US is I'm just like moving into history mode. Is that annoying? Brooke 22:06 Go for it. Margaret 22:07 Teah. It's my other fucking podcast, all history and so like there's the Jane Collective in the US. And they were really fucking cool. And they provided all these abortions to people in Chicago, and they actually pioneered a lot of methods of abortion and pushed forward a lot of important shit, right? In the 1920s, in Germany, anarchists ran more than 200 abortion clinics. Basically, if you wanted an abortion in 1920s, Germany, you went to the syndicalists, you went to the anarcho syndicalists. And because they sat there, and they were like, "Oh, a large amount of crime needs to be done on an organized fashion. And what is anarcho syndicalism? But a way to organize crime?" In this case, usually it's like class war against bosses and illegal strikes and stuff. But, "How do we organize that on a large scale?" And the anarchists were the ones who had the answer answers to, 'How do you organize crime on a large scale,' and I want to know more about that information. I haven't found that much about it in English yet. But, that kind of thing gives me hope. It gives me hope that we can, it's better when it is legal, I'm not being like, this is great, you know, it's fucked up, but we can do this. And, you know, on this very podcast, if you listen to one of the Three Thieves, Four Thieves? Some Number of Thieves Vinegar Collective, Margaret, famous remember of details, they they talk about their work, developing reverse engineering or making accessible, different abortion drugs and how to basically like, create them, and get them to where they need to be, regardless of the legality of those things. But, you might have more to say about this, too. I just wanted to go into history mode. Brooke 23:50 No, I I liked that. And yeah, you did those episodes in a few different ways about it that are super important. I mean, I don't think I need to rehash why Roe is so important. We we know that, you know, and it's not just about reproductive rights for people with uteruses, either. It's about the trends towards you know, bodily autonomy and regulation of bodies. And you know, what that signals as well, it's an issue for everybody. Margaret 24:17 Yeah. And remember, like at the very beginning, some people were like, they might be coming for birth control next, and everyone's like, Nah, they're not coming for birth control. And now you can see the same, the same right wing people who are like, "We should probably just kill the gay people." They like say it and city council meetings. They're also being like, "And birth control on my right, like, fuck that thing?" Brooke 24:36 Yeah. Frustrating. Margaret 24:39 Yeah. Get it out of someone's cold dead hands. Brooke 24:45 Yeah, this is one of those things where the months don't necessarily compare. Yeah. Margaret 24:49 There's that meme....Go ahead. I'm sorry. No, go. Brooke 24:52 We...you know there were historic heat waves going on. Continued flooding and droughts. And all kinds of climate nastiness. And then in, in Tariff Island, we saw a whole bunch of British officials resign, and then Boris Johnson resigning, which, you know, fuck the government and all of those kinds of things, and fuck that guy. But, it did also lead into this, what has been kind of a lot of turmoil in the UK as they've gone through now a couple of different prime ministers and just like, you know, just the the, the sign of the crumbles of how just overwhelmingly corrupt political leaders are, you know, at this point in so called, you know, democratic and stable democracies, that, you know, they're falling apart too. Margaret 25:39 Now, that's a good point. Um, what year did that lady I didn't like die? What day? What month? Queen? Brooke 25:48 I didn't put down the month because that's a happy thing that happened, not a shitty thing. Margaret 25:51 I know. Remember positive things about 2022. And like, stadiums full of like, Irish folks being like, "Lizzie's in a box. Lizzie's in a box." There's like some positive things. Brooke 26:08 I might rewatch some of those after this, just for a little pick me up. Margaret 26:11 Yeah. The people dancing in front of the palace, anyway. Yeah. I don't like colonialism or monarchy. I don't know if anyone knew this about me. Brooke 26:20 Yeah. No, same. I've been trying to explain to my kid about why Queen Elizabeth was bad. And she's having a hard time. Because, you know, children and fantasies and stories and kings and queens, and blah, blah, blah. Margaret 26:32 Yeah. Which is the fucking problem. Brooke 26:34 Yeah, a similar kind of thing happened in August in terms of like, you know, unstable, so supposedly stable governments, in that the the FBI had to raid Mar-a-Lago and Trump which, again, fuck Trump and the FBI and the federal government and all of that, but as a sign of, you know, our democracies actually not being very sound, and how just grossly corrupt politicians are and stuff, the only way they could get back a bunch of confidential documents and like, nuclear related stuff was to fucking invade a former president. Yeah. Also in August Yeah. monkeypox started hitting the news, which of course, speaking of culture was, right, that led into a whole bunch of stuff about, you know, a bunch of anti-gay stuff and reminders of what the AIDS epidemic was like, and just a whole bunch of fucking nonsense up in the news because of that. Margaret 27:32 God, I barely remember that. Brooke 27:34 Right, I think we did it on an episode, a This Month episode. Margaret 27:38 I mean, I remember it now. It's just there's so much. There's so much. Yeah. Yeah. Brooke 27:44 So September brought us protests starting to erupt in Iran. Finally. There was a woman, Masha Amini, who was arrested, you know, they had been doing caravans, were doing these crackdowns and the morality police and stuff. And so that was the start of a bunch of turmoil there that went on for at least three months. It's finally settled down some last month. But that was going on, and then also towards the end of the month hurricane Ian hit in Florida. So, not to make it all about the climate. But again, historic hurricanes and flooding and stuff. Margaret 28:19 Yeah. And these things are related to each other. I mean, like, as you have global insecurity caused by climate, it's going to show all of the cracks in the systems and like, it's hard, because it's like, overall, you know, I see the the attempted revolution, the uprising in Iran is an incredibly positive thing and like reminder of the beauty of the human spirit. And also, like, what happened, the end result of that, that, I don't even want to say, 'end result,' though, right? Because like, every social struggle is going to ebb and flow. And, our action is going to cause reaction. And you know, and whenever people have uprisings, they remember power. They also remember fear, right? And the system is hoping that people remember fear. And the people are hoping that they remember power, you know, and, and it seems impossible to predict which uprisings will lead to fear and which ones will lead to power in terms of even when they're crushed, right? Whether that is the fertile soil for the next rising or whether it you know, has salted the earth to try and keep my metaphor consistent. Brooke 29:43 Nah, mixed metaphors the best. Okay, yeah, it's not a bad thing that people were protesting against what was going on there. It's it's awful that they had to get to that point that the morality police were so bad that they had to start protesting and ongoing conflict and unrest in the Middle East, never ending. Margaret 30:06 And I want to know more. I haven't done enough research on this yet, but another like hopeful thing about, you know, sort of global feminist, radical politics, there's been a recent movement of men in Afghanistan, who are walking out of exams and walking out of different positions that only men are allowed to hold, you know, in schools and things like that, in protest of the fact that of women's disinclusion. Brooke 30:33 Okay, I hadn't heard anything about that. So that's, yeah, We'll have to add that to a This Month, because I want to know more about that too. That sounds really positive. Margaret 30:40 Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know whether it's, you know, happened three times, and it's caught headlines each time or I don't know enough about it to talk about it as a movement. But it matters. That kind of stuff matters. And yeah, it's hopeful. Brooke 30:57 Well, we moved into October and the fall season, and y'all might remember this little one, some South African asshole named Elon Musk, Mosh, Mosk, whatever that guy's name is, Margaret 31:10 He's named after the rodent, the muskrat. Brooke 31:13 Okay, that'll be easy to remember. That guy officially took over at the only social media platform that I don't mostly hate, which is Twitter. A lot of his fucked-up-ness...Nah, he did some of that the first week, that was still in October. And then definitely more came after that. But, he's destroying the microblogging site that we all love so much. Margaret 31:36 Yeah, I will say, my favorite meme that come out of that was basically like, you know what, I've decided that I am okay with Elon Musk being in charge of the exodus of all the rich people to Mars. [Laughs] Brooke 31:50 Yes, winning. Do that quickly. Margaret 31:53 Yeah. He'll fuck it up. Like he fucks everything up. You've seen Glass Onion? Brooke 31:58 Yes, I did. Margaret 32:00 I don't want to like spoil it for people. But, I'll just say that movie did a really good job of pointing out that Elon Musk is just a fucking...is not an intelligent person, is not doing genius things. And it was pointed out really well. Brooke 32:15 Can I point out something embarrassing? Margaret 32:17 Absolutely, it's just you and I here. Brooke 32:21 No one will ever know. I didn't realize when I watched it that that guy was supposed to be a parody of like Elon Musk specifically. I thought it was just like generic, you know, rich people are terrible. And then it wasn't till like after I watched it, and everyone else started watching it and commenting that it was Musk and I was like, "Oh, damn, obviously it is." Margaret 32:42 Yeah, it's the like, the car thing and the space thing are the main nods. I mean, it's at the same time. It could be Bezos it could be any fucking, like tech billionaire asshole. But I think it was, I think it was intentionally Musk. Brooke 32:56 Yeah, I've got to rewatch it with that in mind. I was too busy going, "Oh, it's that guy. It's that actor or actress. Someone I know that person. Enjoy the characters. Yeah. That was a thing that happened in December, but we haven't done November, so November, Powerball made some poor asshole into a billionaire. So I feel bad for that guy. Yeah. So the Powerball, nobody had won it for like three months, and the pot got up to like $2 billion. And a single a single person had the winning ticket when it was finally pulled. Which, if they take the cash payout, which I think most people do, it's actually only $1 billion. And then, probably the government takes that. So you're only half a billionaire, probably by the time all is said and done. But still, that's, you know, what a way to fuck up the rest of your existence by suddenly having that much money. Margaret 33:51 I'm like, I'd take a shot. Brooke 33:56 I like to think, you know, I have this list of all these nice things that I would do and people I would support and love, but the evidence bears out that anyone who's ever won something like that doesn't make all the great choices. Margaret 34:09 No, no. Okay. Yeah, I think you need to have a council of people who direct...I think that any anarchist who's like, possibly going to end up rich, like, whether through inheritance or becoming the next Stephen King or whatever needs to, like, seriously consider how the dealing with that money should be a collective effort and not an individual effort. Anyway. Brooke 34:35 I agree. Yeah. Margaret 34:36 I went through this when, at one point, I did not get...I did not become a millionaire. But, at one point, Hollywood was interested in one of my my books, and we had long conversations about it. I had conversations with the Hollywood director around it, about whether or not they would adapt a certain book of mine into a TV show. And it didn't work out in the end. But, I like sat there and mathed it out and was like, oh, if they make it TV show out of my book, I will become a millionaire. And like, what would that mean? And, and so that's when I started having these, like, which just totally the same as winning the Powerball and having a billion dollars, and also not just not my weird...I don't know, whatever. Now everyone knows this. Brooke 35:16 I don't think that's a unique thing. Yeah, so that happened in November. And that sucks. And it didn't make the news the way it should have. So I just wanted to highlight that horribleness. And then, also that orange clown douchebag potato that lives in Florida, said that he's going to run for president again. So, we have that to look forward to. But, then the third thing that happened, which isn't just isolated to November, but the World Cup started, and I have nothing against football, love football, the World Cup as a concept. Fine, but there are so many problems, much like the Olympics, with the way they do it. And what happens around all that. Margaret 36:00 Yeah, yeah, I love...I love that I should be able to like a lot of things. And then the way that they're done by our society precludes me from really deeply enjoying them. Brooke 36:10 Why do you have to take such a nice thing and ruing it. Margaret 36:13 All things. All things. You could name anything, and we could talk about how capitalism and fucking imperialism ruined it. Brooke 36:20 Yeah, pretty much. Down with those systems. Alright, so now we're finally getting into the end. You'll remember this one, because it was only like a month ago that there were some targeted attacks in North Carolina on power stations. 40,000 people without power for several days, in fact, it wasn't like a quick fix thing. They really fucked some shit up there. One that I didn't hear about, but that has some pretty big implications is that the country of Indonesia banned sex outside of marriage, even for foreigners living in their country, and stuff. Brooke 36:54 Yeah. So, I don't know if the ramifications for that are. I didn't dig deeper into like, what is the consequence of you doing that. But you know, Indonesia's massive. I mean, that populations huge. Margaret 36:54 I had no idea. Margaret 37:05 Yeah, Lousiana just banned, as of I think January 1, you're not allowed to access porn on the internet from Louisiana without showing a government ID to the website. Which, means that now everyone, basically they passed a law saying you have to install a VPN in order to access porn in Louisiana. Brooke 37:27 That's madness. Margaret 37:29 Yeah, and it fucks up sex workers, right? Like any of this stuff, any of this bullshit, it always just fucks sex workers. Brooke 37:39 Yeah, they become the victims of the law, even though they're not, they're not the bad guys here. And in porn, they're never the bad guys, Pro sex workers. My last horrible thing that happened in December was that China decided to just completely give up on all of its COVID protocols that it spent the whole year continuing to be super restrictive, and have lock downs and all of that. And then all of a sudden, it's just like, "No, we're not gonna do any of that anymore." Oh, just a great way to change policy is just to stop completely all of a sudden. Yeah. Margaret 38:15 I just think it's really funny, because it's like, what? Sometimes people like really talk about how they want like a multipolar world where there's like, it's like what people use to defend the USSR, right, is that they're like, well, at least, there was someone competing with the US or whatever. But, when I think about COVID response, there was always like the US response, which was absolute dogshit. And then there was the Chinese response, which was like, too authoritarian and caused a lot of suffering and all of these things, but, was not a non response. And now, that one has fallen as well. And there's just like, I mean, there's more countries than the US and China. I'm reasonably sure. I couldn't promise. So, hurray, we're in it. We're just in it. That's...this is just COVID world now. It's COVID's world. We just live in it. Brooke 39:13 Yeah, exactly. So I think you had some, like bigger overarching trends of things that happened in 2022. Margaret 39:21 A lot of the stuff I have is a little bit like what we have to look forward to. Brooke 39:26 Oh, nice. Margaret 39:27 Just some like nice, light stuff. The National Farmers Union in the UK says that the UK is on the verge of a food crisis. Brooke 39:35 Great. Margaret 39:36 Yields of tomatoes and other crops, especially energy intensive ones like cucumbers and pears are at record lows. And there's already an egg shortage in the UK, and a lot of places where there were stores are rationing sales of eggs, you can only buy so many eggs at any given time. And, it's not because there's no chickens. It's that rising costs of production have convinced more and more farmers...it's a capitalism thing in this like really brutal way. It's the markets logic, right? If it costs too much to produce a thing, don't produce it. But, when the thing you do is produce food, there's some problems here. Brooke 40:13 Are there? Margaret 40:14 And I mean, I'm a vegan. And I got to admit, when I hear things like, they're cutting back beef production, because it costs too much. I'm like, that's good. That is good for animals. And that is good for the climate. However, that's not being replaced with more of other types of foods. So it's not necessarily good. Brooke 40:33 And if Casandra were here, and she has very restrictive things on what she can eat, because of her health, she would be jumping in to say, "But protein!" because she needs to be able to have access to that. Margaret 40:45 No, totally. And I'm not trying to, I'm not like specifically pushing for a vegan world. And I recognize that everyone's bodies are different, and have different needs around a lot of things. But, I do think that data shows fairly clearly that the level of animal agriculture that we do, especially in centralized ways, across the world is a major driver of climate change. And, it is a major driving of a lot of really bad stuff. It's just a very inefficient way to produce food for a large number of people. This is different at different scales. And I am not, I'm not specifically trying to advocate for...Yeah, I don't think a vegan world is a good or just idea. I think it is perfectly natural for people to eat animals. However, I think that there's both needless suffering that can be cut back and as well as like, just specifically from a climate change point of view. So... Brooke 41:39 I hear you. Margaret 41:39 That said, UK, dealing with egg shortage. Basically, farmers might stop selling milk because of production...that it cost so much to produce the milk. Not like, I'm sure there's still farmers who are going to produce milk. But, more and more farmers are stopping. Beet farmers are considering the same. There's also just literally about 7000 fewer registered food production companies in the UK than three years ago. Brooke 42:04 Wow. Margaret 42:05 Because at least in the UK, fertilizer costs have tripled since 2019. And diesel costs are up at about...both feed and diesel costs are up about 75% from what they were before. Shortages. The infant formula shortage might last until Spring according to one major formula producer. We very narrowly avoided a major disruption as a result of a diesel shortage in the United States recently. Basically, they like brought more diesel plants...I don't know the word here, refineries? Refineries, like online kind of at the last minute, like because there was going to be like really major disruptions in the way that we move food and other things around the United States because of diesel shortages. Let's see what else... Brooke 43:00 Have...I'm super curious here, have food shortages in the UK ever caused problems of any kind? It seems like that's not a big deal. Like they're...they can deal with that. Right? That hasn't killed anyone, right? Margaret 43:10 Ireland's not part of the United Kingdom. [laughs] Yeah, yeah. No, it's okay. I mean, it's interesting, because like, modern farming has really changed the face of famine. Famine used to be a very common part of...I can actually only speak to this in a very limited context, it's like something that came up in my history research, like Napoleon, the middle one, or whatever. I can't remember. Probably the second, maybe the third I'm not sure. The Napoleon who like took over and like 1840...8? Someone is mad at me right now. In France, who modernized Paris and made it like, impossible to build barricades and shit. Brooke 43:52 We can FaceTime, Robert, real quick and find out. Margaret 43:55 Yeah, yeah, totally. And, but one of the things that he did, or rather, that happened under his reign as a part of 19th century development, is that famine had been a very major common regular part of French life. And it ceased to be, and famine is something that the modern world, developed parts of the modern world, have been better at minimizing as compared to like, some historical stuff. Obviously, a lot of this just gets pushed out into the developing world. And you know, famine is a very major part of a great number of other countries' existence. But, I think that people get really used to the idea that famine doesn't really happen. And it does, and it can again, and it's similar what you're talking about, like we have this like, kind of unshakable faith in our democracies. But, they are shakable they, they they shake. Brooke 43:56 They've been shooked. Margaret 44:48 Yeah, they're They are not stirred. They're shaken. Okay. Okay, so other stuff: Pfizer's currently working on an RSV vaccine. I consider that positive news. My news here is about a month old. It's been given the like, go ahead for further studies and shit and, and that's very promising because we're in the middle of a triple-demic or whatever. But there's actually been as a weird positive thing. I mean, obviously, we've learned that society does not know how to cope with pandemics. But, one thing is we have learned a lot more about a lot of health stuff as a result of this, you know, and the types of new vaccines that people are able to come up with now are very, they're very promising. And a fun news, as relates to the climate change thing that's happening, more and more Americans are moving to climate at risk areas. Specifically, people are leaving the Midwest. And they're moving to the Pacific Northwest and Florida. And these are two of the least climatically stable from a disaster point of view areas in the United States. Brooke 46:04 Okay. Margaret 46:05 Specifically, specifically because of wildfire in the Pacific Northwest, and hurricanes in Florida. Also earthquakes on the West Coast and things like that, but specifically wildfire. And also within those areas, a thing that causes...humans have been encroaching into less developed areas at a greater rate. And this is part of what causes, obviously the fires are getting worse out west as a result of climate change, but it's also the way in which new communities are developed out west that is causing some of the worst damages from fires. So yeah, everyone's moving to those places. That's not a good idea in mass. I'm not telling individuals who live in those places to leave. And there's actually, you know, the Pacific Northwest has some like stuff going on about fairly stable temperature wise, and for most climate models, but this is part of why disasters are impacting more and more Americans as people are leaving the places to move to places where it's greater risk. Yeah, there's this map, just showing where people are leaving and where people are going to. And it's actually, there are other places that people are going to that would have surprised me like, Georgia, North Carolina, parts of Tennessee, like kind of like Southern Appalachian kind of areas, like more and more people are moving towards, and more and more people are leaving upstate New York, which really surprised me. But, and more people are leaving North Texas and moving to Southeast Texas, or like the general eastern part of Texas is growing very rapidly. Okay, what else have I got? Taiwan has set up a set group called the Doomsday Preppers Association, which is just sick, because it's called the Doomsday Preppers Association. And it's like, not a wing nut thing. And they have a wing nut name which rules, I'm all for it. There's about 10,000 people or so who are organizing together to prepare for natural disasters, and also to prepare for the potential invasion from China. Which, China's back to threatening to, to do that. And it's but, it's like people just like getting together to like, build networks, learn radios, and just like, be preppers, but in a, like, normalized way, and it's fucking cool. And, I'd love to see it here. Okay. What else? I don't have too many notes left. Florida, is expected to have major wildfires starting in 2023 according to the National Interagency Fire Center report, as well as Georgia, New Mexico and Texas. I'm willing to bet that New Mexico and Texas in particular, and probably Georgia, that's probably...those are very big states with very different bio regions within them. And, so I couldn't point you, if you live in one of those places, you might want to look for the National Interagency Fire Center Report, and read more about it. Brooke 48:56 Speaking of moving, it's a great time to get the fuck out of Florida. With like, I could have done almost every month something just atrocious happened in Florida. Margaret 49:06 Yeah. And one of the things that, you know, we talked a little bit about the culture war stuff. One of the things that's happened in 2023, overall, is that we've started to see more political refugees from within the United States to the United States. We have seen a lot of trans families, or families of trans children, have had to leave states where their providing medical care for their children has become criminal. Obviously also with the end of Roe v. Wade, a lot of people have had to change which state they live in. Although, I don't like doing this like comparison thing, because it's just fucked for everyone, but you can you can vacation your way out of pregnancy. You know? Brooke 49:50 I don't know that I've heard it described that way, but... Margaret 49:54 But if you want to be a 13 year old on hormone blockers, or whatever that you need in order to stay safe, a lot of people are moving, and a lot of people can't move. And there's really complicated questions that we all have to ask ourselves right now about like, stay and go. And like, like stay and fight, versus get the fuck out. And everyone's gonna have to make those questions differently. Okay, another positive thing a weird, like positive tech thing... Brooke 50:20 Yay positive. Margaret 50:22 So like I own, and I recommend it to people who spend a lot of time off grid or out outside the range of cell service. I own like a Garmin satellite communicator, it's a little tiny device, it looks like a tiny walkie talkie. And it can talk to satellites. And I can like text from anywhere in the world, I can see the sky, whether or not I have cell service. And more importantly than that, I can send an SOS. And these are fairly expensive things, they cost a couple hundred dollars. And then you have to sign up for service. And they make sense for people who are like backpacking a lot or driving in areas where there's no, you know, service or whatever, right? New new phones, specifically the iPhone 14, I hate to be like, I'm not telling everyone to run out get new phone, but as a trend is very positive, that some new phones have this already built in. So you won't need to have a separate device. And I think that is a very positive thing from a prepper point of view, to have access to a way to communicate when cell service is not there. Yeah, that is really important. And I have one final thing and it's very positive. Brooke 51:29 Okay, I'm ready. Margaret 51:30 It's actually a double edged sword. On January 5, I'm cheating. This was in 2023. On January 5, 2023, this current year, like last week, yesterday, as we record this, two assholes in Bakersfield, California tried to set an Immigration Services Center on fire, like it was a center that like, um, I mean, ironically, it helped undocumented folks or like immigrant folks pay income taxes, and like helped people navigate the paperwork of being immigrants, you know, because there's actually something that people don't know, all these like, right wing pieces of shit, is that like, undocumented people, like, many of them pay taxes. I don't know. Whereas a lot of the people who like to talk all kinds of shit about undocumented people, don't pay taxes. Anyway, whatever. What were you gonna say? Sorry. Brooke 52:16 Oh, just this, that as an economist, as a group, undocumented people pay more into the system than they as a group take out of the system. Margaret 52:25 That makes a lot of sense. So, there's an Immigration Services Center. Two assholes, tried to set it on fire. They set themselves on fire, fled the scene on fire and left their cell phone at the scene. The reason it's double edged is, because one it sucks that people attack this and they actually did do damage to the center as well, mostly to some equipment used by someone who ran I believe a carwash out of that shared some space or whatever. But yeah, they like poured accelerant everywhere. And then a guy just like, knelt down over the pool of accelerant and like, lit it. And then just like, his, like, his leg was on fire. So, his friend ran over to help and like got caught on fire too. And then, they just both like, ran out of range of, because it's all caught on camera, you know? And fuck them. And I hope that their fucking wounds are horrible. And by the time you listen to this, they were probably caught because they left their fucking phone there. And fuck them. That's my light news. Brooke 53:36 I'll take it. Margaret 53:37 Okay, what are you excited for, looking forward? Go ahead. Sorry. Brooke 53:40 Well, hopefully more fascists are gonna light themselves on fire and other types of right wing assholes. I mean, I would be very happy about that happening in 2023 Margaret 53:48 Yeah. May this be the year of Nazis on fire. Brooke 53:54 Yes. Agreed. That would be lovely. I don't know about...I don't know if I have a lot of global stuff that I thought about being positive. I have. I have like personal stuff, like I am going to be doing...hosting more these podcast episodes. I've got one coming up. Maybe this month, we're releasing it? But I did it all by myself. Yeah, more lined up to come out in the next couple of months and some really cool topics and people that I get to chat with. So I'm stoked about that. Margaret 54:21 That is also something I'm excited about for 2023 is that this podcast is increasingly regular and it is because of the hard work of me...No, everyone else. Is the hard work of everyone else who works on this show are like really kind of taking the reins more and more and it is no longer, it's no longer the Margaret Killjoy Show and I'm very grateful and I believe you all will too. And if you're not grateful yet, you will be, because there'll be actual other voices, like ways of looking at things and and more of it because, you know, one person can only do so much. So I'm really grateful for that. Brooke 55:03 I'm excited about this book that's coming out next month, that... Margaret 55:06 Oh, yeah? Brooke 55:07 Some lady I know, wrote it. And, and I got to do some editing work on it. And, it's hilarious and the cover is gorgeous. Margaret 55:17 Is it called "Escape from Incel Island"? Brooke 55:19 Yeah, that one. Margaret 55:22 Is this my plugs moment? Brooke 55:24 Did you know If you preorder it right now, you can get a poster of that gorgeous cover that comes comes with the preordered one? Margaret 55:31 And, did you know that if you preorder it, I get a cut of the royalties when the book is released for all the preorders, which means that I can eat food. Brooke 55:43 Oh, we like it when you get food. Margaret 55:44 And I like having food. Yeah. So, if you go to tangledwilderness.org, you can preorder "Escape from Incel Island" and get a poster. And it's a fun adventure book. You can literally read it in a couple hours. It's very short. It's a novella. It's, to be frank, it's at the short end of novella. But that makes it good for short attention spans like mine. Brooke 56:08 Yeah, that's dope. I'm looking forward to that. And there'll be some other books coming out from that Strangers Collective one, one that I just started editing, that I don't know how much we're talking about it yet or not. Margaret 56:20 It's really cool. Brooke 56:20 So, I won't give too much away here, but just sucked me right in as I was editing, and it's cool. I'm so excited to read the rest of it. And then for us to release it. Margaret 56:29 Yeah. All right. Well, that's our Year in the Apocalypse, 2022 edition. And I know...wait, you're doing the closing part. Brooke 56:40 Yeah, sure.

Civil unrest in Iran, sparked by the death of 22-year-old Masha Amini in police custody, has spread across the Iranian Republic. What began as a protest for women's rights has swelled, with demands for greater freedoms and even an overthrow of the state. The issue's dominated Iran's play at the Football World Cup in Qatar – as their team stood in silent protest while their anthem was played. Closer to home, here in Wales hundreds have gathered on the streets to protest under the slogan “Women, Life, Freedom.” In response the country's leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has blamed the West for inciting protests and there's been a fierce crackdown. This week Iran reported that there have been more than 300 deaths and thousands have been arrested as a result of the protests. But what does this really mean for people of faith? And how much do we know about the country and lives of the people who live there? While most Iranians are Shi'i Muslims, it is also home to a number of minority religious communities. To discuss the issues Azim Ahmed is joined by Roozbeh Najarnejad, an Iranian Christian who supports Christian communities in Iran through Elam Ministries. Maral Shams, a teacher from Wales who has been closely involved with the “Women, Life, Freedom” protests here in the UK. Padideh Sabeti, Director for the UK Office of Public Affairs for Bahá'í Community, the largest non-Muslim community in Iran, and Maziyar Ghiabi, the Director of the Centre for Persian and Iranian Studies at Exeter University.

Today, I want to emphasize just how powerful your femenine energy is; every time you radiate love and express your femininity, it is a revolutionary act. When I heard the news of Mahsa Amini's death, I felt rage choking the femenine light within me, so I moved, I wrote and I consciously centered myself on love and harmony. Mahsa Amini's death was just one tragic example of the terror our Iranian sisters are living in, under the morality police. It is this need to regulate a woman's innate sexuality that is preventing fertility and the union of masculine and femenine energy on this planet.    In this episode, I implore you to fully embrace your femininity because the revolution begins with your own liberation.The old repressive systems that once choked the femenine existence are crumbling. It is justifiable to feel angry at these atrocities but If you surrender to that anger, the pendulum will only swing to the opposite extreme and you won't be any closer to restoring harmony. Your femenine energy is healing energy and that is what our world needs now. I believe that our true purpose, here on earth, is to find balance between the sexes and create a world of love and harmony for generations to come. Reclaim your femininity and join the revolution!   Key Takeaways: [3:20] Masha Amini's story [4:20] How her desire for freedom offended the morality police [5:30] Femenine revolts in the streets of Iran [6:45] Women are being raped in police custody [7:10] This is beyond spirituality, the divine femenine is revolting against these crumbling systems.

[10:05] A new age of balanced energies between the sexes [11:00] Allow your community to experience your own divine femenine [11:45] It is your emotions that have been exiled! [12:00] Channeling your energy into creating harmony and love in the world [12:30] The revolution begins by liberating yourself [13:00] Allowing the men in your life to love and support us [13:30] The revolution is erotic [15:00] Your sacred sexuality is not meant to be controlled [16:00] Labeling your erotisicm as immoral prevents the sacred union of masculine and femenine [17:40] These narratives are blocking the fertility that creates the masculine polarity of attraction  [18:10] Women are not the problem, unconscious fearful thinking is the problem [19:14] It starts with you expanding your capacity for love [20:00] Men are an integral part of this revolution [20:30] Do you want your children to suffer under the same repression as your ancestors? [22:30] You are doing the work for the next 7 generations [23:50] Consciously move your rage because you are not meant to remain stuck in your rage [25:06] Coming back into union and harmony [25:40] Reclaim the parts of you that have been exiled   Connect with Josefina: Instagram: @pusssypriestess Website: josefinabashout.com Awaken your confidence & feminine fire https://www.josefinabashout.com/awaken-the-fire-sign-up  Foria Wellness for dripping wet pleasure & arousal https://glnk.io/j703/josefinabashout 20% off JOSEFINABASHOUT20 Onna Lifestyle for pleasure tools  https://www.onnalifestyle.com/?ref=7SQdeda72sK20   Memorable Quotes: “What's unfortunate is, even if it's peaceful, even if they're just standing in the streets with their hair uncovered these women are being beaten, they're being thrown into jail and what's happening when they're being thrown into jail, now they're being raped.”  [6:30]   “To turn a blind eye and to say that the divine femenine rising is just some bullshit esoteric thing that's just in the spiritual community, I want to put an end to that right now and say open your eyes! Pay attention to what's happening because these systems are crumbing. Women have had absolutely enough!” [7:05]   “Now it's time to come back to more equilibrium of balance of the sexes, not fighting against the mascluine, not fighting against the patriarchy but just by being the revolution, by being the change in your community…[10:25]   “It is our emotions that have been exiled! Our rage, our grief, our sadness. These emotions are sacred, these emotions are powerful and these frequencies are all divine when we can channel them in a way that isn't harmful to our loved ones, that isn't harmful to the planet. That we can find ways to let them burn to channel this energy into something that brings more harmony…”[11:43]   “To say that this is immoral is only creating a further and further gap between the true evolutionary intent of being on this planet in two separate bodies of masculine and femenine which is for us to come back into the divine model of union.Sacred union.”  [16:00]

Naiara Fernández entrevista a Daniel Bashandeh, analista político especialista en Irán y Oriente Medio.

EXPERTS DAVID RIGOULET-ROZE Politologue - Chercheur associé à l'IRIS Rédacteur en chef de la revue « Orients stratégiques » FARIBA HACHTROUDI Journaliste et auteure iranienne AZADEH KIAN Sociologue franco-iranienne Auteure de « Femmes et pouvoir en Islam » HASNI ABIDI Politologue - Directeur du CERMAM Centre d'Études et de Recherche sur le Monde Arabe et Méditerranéen Il y a trois semaines, une jeune femme de 22 ans, Masha Amini, décédait à l'hôpital après avoir été arrêtée par la police des mœurs de Téhéran pour « port de vêtements inappropriés », des mèches de cheveux dépassaient de son voile. Depuis les Iraniens descendent chaque jour dans les rues de Téhéran et d'autres villes du pays aux cris de « Jin, Jiyan, Azadî » ( « Femme, vie, liberté » ). Dans les manifestations, beaucoup d'hommes mais aussi de femmes, jeunes très souvent, retirent et brûlent leur voile en signe de protestation malgré la répression et les balles. Un vent de contestation qui loin de s'éteindre gagne depuis le week-end dernier les universités du pays mais aussi les écoles. Dans une vidéo publiée lundi sur les réseaux sociaux, des jeunes filles, la tête non voilée, scandent « Mort au dictateur », en référence au guide suprême Ali Khamenei, dans une école de Karaj, à l'ouest de Téhéran. D'autres séquences montrent des écolières quittant les salles de classe pour défiler dans divers endroits de la ville lors de manifestations éclair, afin d'éviter d'être repérées. Car malgré la chape de plomb imposée par le régime, des vidéos et témoignages laissent également entrevoir la violence exercée par les forces de l'ordre contre les manifestants, notamment contre les étudiants qui se sont soulevés ces derniers jours. Au moins 82 personnes ont été tuées et des centaines d'autres blessées depuis vendredi dans la répression des manifestations qui ont éclaté à Zahédan, dans le sud-est de l'Iran, selon Amnesty International qui précise que les pannes d'Internet en cours dans le pays rendent de plus en plus difficile la confirmation des décès. Les autorités iraniennes avancent elles un bilan d'environ 60 morts depuis le 16 septembre parmi lesquels 12 membres des forces de sécurité. Plus d'un millier de personnes ont été arrêtées et plus de 620 relâchées dans la seule province de Téhéran, d'après un bilan officiel. Des chiffres qui seraient bien en deçà de la réalité alors que le régime, comme en 2019 et en 2009, fait tout pour contenir la révolte. Dans ce contexte, la France a appelé hier ses ressortissants à quitter le pays « dans les plus brefs délais ». Selon le ministère des Affaires étrangères, « tout visiteur français, y compris binational, s'expose à un risque élevé d'arrestation, de détention arbitraire et de jugement inéquitable ». Cette alerte survient au lendemain de la diffusion d'une vidéo d'« aveux » d'espionnage de deux enseignants français arrêtés en mai dernier en Iran. Dans cette séquence, une jeune femme s'exprimant en français indique s'appeler Cécile Kohler et être agent de renseignement opérationnel à la direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (DGSE, service de renseignement français). Elle affirme qu'elle et son conjoint étaient en Iran « pour préparer les conditions de la révolution et du renversement du régime iranien ». Le Quai d'Orsay a dénoncé une « vidéo révoltante » qui « met en scène de faux aveux, extorqués sous la contrainte » et a demandé la « libération immédiate » de ces « otages d'État ». Les familles du couple de Français ont alerté, vendredi, sur les « conditions inhumaines de détention (…) pour des motifs fallacieux », avec une « pression psychologique inimaginable ». Alors que se passe-t-il en Iran ? Quelles sont les raisons de la révolte des Iraniens et des Iraniennes ? Comment la diaspora iranienne participe-t-elle à ce combat ? Que sait-on des Français détenus en Iran ? Enfin pourquoi l'armée iranienne bombarde-t-elle depuis quelques jours quotidiennement des groupes kurdes établis dans le Kurdistan irakien voisin ?

durée : 00:58:16 - Avec philosophie - par : Géraldine Muhlmann - Depuis la mort de Masha Amini, le 16 septembre dernier, nombre d'Iraniennes se sont filmées en train de se couper les cheveux et sont descendues dans la rue crier leur colère face au régime en place et à la loi instaurée depuis la révolution islamique de 1979. - invités : Johanne Le Ray Chercheuse en littérature française, enseignante à l'Université Paris Nanterre et traductrice de littérature américaine; Mahnaz Shirali Sociologue, politologue et spécialiste de l'Iran ; Odile Tourneux Docteure en philosophie et enseignante dans le secondaire

Już prawie trzy tygodnie trwają protesty antyrządowe w Iranie po śmierci 22-letniej Kurdyjki zatrzymanej w Teheranie przez policję do spraw moralności. Rodzina i inne źródła twierdzą, że Masha Amini została pobita w areszcie, policja wypiera się spowodowania jej śmierci. Protesty trwają w kilkudziesięciu miastach, zginęło w nich już ponad 150. osób, a demonstranci otwarcie krytykują prezydenta i przywódcę duchowego Iranu ajatollaha Chameneiego. Ten twierdzi, że demonstracje są sterowane przez Amerykę i Izrael. Iran atakuje również cele w irackim Kurdystanie twierdząc, że to stamtąd płynie wsparcie na protestujących. Gość: Łukasz Fyderek

We have all seen the images of women in cities across Iran burning their headscarves and cutting their hair in public to chants of "Death to the dictator.". The protests began after the September 13th death of 22-year-old Masha Amini. According to reports, Iranian morality police had accused Amini of violating laws mandating women cover their hair. These events appear to have sparked a major public backlash against the Iranian regime. But how serious is the threat to the Iranian regime? Reuel Marc Gerecht is a senior fellow at the Washington-based think tank, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. He was previously a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Earlier, he served as a Middle Eastern specialist at the CIA's Directorate of Operations. In that role, he was focused on Iran targets. Among his many books, Reuel is the author of Know Thine Enemy: A Spy's Journey into Revolutionary Iran and The Islamic Paradox: Shiite Clerics, Sunni Fundamentalists, and the Coming of Arab Democracy. He has been a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, as well as a frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Dispatch.

Episode 127 is a look at what's happening in Iran, as the people take to the streets to protest the brutal murder of a young woman named Masha Amini by religious authorities. First hand messages from people within Iran, a look at why sections of Western society have a blind spot when dealing with issues like this one, the hypocrisy and fear involved in not supporting women's rights in theocratic states around the world and why we care about one cause and not another. This is the starkest illustration of why freedom of speech is important and should matter to us all. become a patron over at :https://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillwant to advertise in the show? emailalan.averill@gmail.comsponsorshttps://www.metalblade.compromo code ALAN for 10% off in N.Americahttps://www.hatecouture616.com/promo code ALAN for free shippingSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
