The CIA's first shadow war didn't start in the Cold War — it started with OSS spies hunting Nazis in WWII. This is the buried mission they tried to erase.Jacek Waliszewski joins The Reed Morin Show to uncover the buried origins of the CIA black ops operation during WWII known as Operation Spike. Long before the Cold War began, OSS operatives were dropped behind enemy lines in the Alps to fight Nazis, hunt Mussolini, and launch what would become the CIA's first shadow war to stop soviets from attaining nuclear weapons. This is the real story the OSS operatives duringWW2.

The rise and popular support for authoritarianism around the world and within traditional democracies have spurred debates over the meaning of the term “fascist” and when and whether it is appropriate to use it. The landmark study Fascism: The History of a Word (The University of Chicago Press, 2025) takes this debate further by tackling its most fundamental questions: How did the terms “fascism” and “fascist” come to be in the first place? How and in what circumstances have they been used? How can they be understood today? And what are the advantages (or disadvantages) of using “fascism” to make sense of interwar authoritarianism as well as contemporary politics?Exploring the writings and deeds of political leaders, activists, artists, authors, and philosophers, Federico Marcon traces the history of the term's use (and usefulness) in relation to Mussolini's political regime, antifascist resistance, and the quest of postwar historians to develop a definition of a “fascist minimum.” This investigation of the semiotics of “fascism” also aims to inquire about people's voluntary renunciation of the modern emancipatory ideals of freedom, equality, and solidarity.

Entrevista con historiador Jesús Palacios, coautor junto con Stanley G. Payne, del libro ‘Franco. Una biografía personal y política'. Visita el podcast de historia de Libertad Digital, Desmemoria Histórica, el periodista, escritor e historiador especializado en historia contemporánea Jesús Palacios, coautor junto con Stanley G. Payne, catedrático emérito de Historia en la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison, del libro Franco. Una biografía personal y política (La Esfera de los Libros). El libro, de más de 800 páginas, se publicó por primera vez en el año 2014 y se ha reeditado con motivo del 50º aniversario de la muerte del dictador. Un clásico que fue considerada "la primera biografía académica rigurosa", "el primer estudio objetivo y desapasionado sobre la figura que gobernó España durante casi cuarenta años" o "una profunda investigación en fuentes primarias".Un nuevo prólogo En esta nueva introducción se destaca su "capacidad de penetración" en la sociedad española: "España tiene una de las historias más trascendentales de cualquier país en el mundo, y en toda esta inmensa trayectoria sería difícil encontrar una figura más dominante que Francisco Franco. A lo largo de su historia España ha dado grandes reyes, ha protagonizado epopeyas sin par y creado un imperio de iguales de más de trescientos años de duración. Pero ningún rey tradicional ha tenido tanto poder, y lo que los politólogos llaman "capacidad de penetración" en la sociedad y las instituciones como el dictador-autoritario de ningún régimen del siglo XX. Lo que pudo hacer y evitar que pasara no tiene paralelo en la historia de España". Y se critican las sucesivas leyes de Memoria socialistas, cincuenta años sin Franco pero con más Franco que nunca: "Hace cincuenta años que falleció Francisco Franco y, sin embargo, su figura se ha convertido en el actor político más importante de la España actual para el presidente Pedro Sánchez, su gobierno, las izquierdas y los grupos separatistas, incluido el terrorista vasco. En esto participa también el principal partido de la oposición, el liberal conservador Partido Popular, que bien por inacción, claudicación o complicidad con el Partido Socialista, ha contemporizado con este espectáculo destructivo. ¿Por qué se ha llegado hasta aquí? ¿Cómo ha sido posible que todo esto esté ocurriendo?." "La Transición sigue abierta" Sobre su régimen afirma Palacios que "Franco fue el dictador más exitoso del siglo XX y el menos dictador de todos ellos". Considera que "nunca fue un fascista" aunque en los primeros años sí había "una fascistización", por ejemplo, en el Fuero del Trabajo (1938), la primera ley fundamental que aprobó, inspirado en la Carta del Lavoro de Mussolini. Cuenta que Franco no tuvo ideología pero sí unas convicciones profundas: "anti partidos políticos, anti comunista, anti masón". Según los autores "la transición sigue estando abierta". Para Palacios "la nación no se puede defender del permanente secuestro del separatismo por la trampa introducida en la Constitución y que hace que el Estado sea fallido". Asegura el invitado que "las dos Leyes de Amnistía fueron una reconciliación política porque los españoles habían hecho tabla rasa, se habían reconciliado, veinte años antes"."Juan Carlos I engañó a todos" En la entrevista también participa el historiador y escritor Pedro Fernández Barbadillo, colaborador habitual del podcast. Otros de los asuntos que abordamos son por qué Franco restaura/instaura la monarquía, aunque fuese "tradicional, social y representativa", por qué elige a Juan Carlos en julio de 1969 y por qué los falangistas republicanos lo aceptan y hasta votan a su favor en las Cortes. Sobre la figura del Emérito dice Palacios que "Juan Carlos I barrió todo lo que había jurado defender" que "engañó a todos". Explica por qué Franco nunca perdonó a Alfonso XIII.De puertas hacia dentro En la charla también abordamos detalles personales del personaje, al define como "providencialista y pragmático", "sin aspiraciones políticas", "un militar muy reglamentista". Su vínculo emocional con África, donde casi pierde la vida, es muy curioso cómo se salva de una muerte segura. Tras la guerra llevó una vida sedentaria contra la que intentaba luchar su médico personal, Vicente Gil. Era "muy frugal en la comida", su cocinero era un militar y nos cuenta que "odiaba el arroz con leche". Sus mayores aficiones fueron "ir de cacería" y "ver películas en el cine privado de El Pardo". Tenía la costumbre de ver "dos televisiones a la vez, con cada uno de los dos canales que existían entonces". Destaca el hecho de que "al morir tenía veinte millones de pesetas" y que cobraba el "sueldo como capitán general". Francisco Franco Bahamonde, el teniente franquito, fue, con 22 años, el Capitán más joven del Ejército, con 24 el comandante más joven de España, con 33 el general de brigada también más joven. De sufrir las más crueles novatadas en la Academia de Toledo, por su pequeña estatura, su delgadez y su voz con poca presencia, llegó a generalísimo y a dictador plenipotenciario hasta su muerte en 1975.

Leemos el diario 'El Sol' del 7 de agosto de 1935. Aunque no es el titular más destacado, visto con la distancia, produce escalofríos: "No cesa la campaña de persecución contra judíos y católicos en Alemania". El periódico también cuenta los movimientos de Mussolini para preparar la guerra contra Etiopía y una viñeta del caricaturista Luis Bagaría refleja la polarización política en España que un año después desencadenaría la Guerra Civil.

Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact *** 1] Adolf Hitler – Mein Kampf (1925) / Mijn Strijd (Prometheus, 2018) Het eerste boek is honderd jaar oud. En het is echt heel slecht geschreven, vond ook de Italiaanse journalist Benito Mussolini. Maar Mein Kampf is opnieuw actueel. De wordingsgeschiedenis, de titel, het verdienmodel en de worstelingen ermee na 1945 zijn een boek op zichzelf waard. Zonder de Britse sociaal-darwinistische schrijver Houston Stewart Chamberlain was het boek er nooit gekomen. Zijn schoonfamilie regelde zelfs dat Hitler in de cel het schrijfpapier ervoor kreeg. Jaap en PG duiken in diens merkwaardige leven, werk, netwerk en impact rond 1900 en in diens hysterische verering voor de jonge Führer. 2] Benjamin Duerr – De Droom van Den Haag (Atlas Contact, 2024) Het tweede boek gaat over de dromen van wereldvrede rond 1900 en de unieke rol daarin van Den Haag. Het begon met een jonge tsaar die zichzelf een vredesvorst waande. Zijn ministers hadden heel nuchtere, geopolitieke argumenten om decennia geen oorlogen te willen. Zijn nichtje, de net ingehuldigde koningin Wilhelmina, vond dat mystieke pacifisme maar lariekoek. Haar minister Willem Hendrik de Beaufort zat klem tussen deze twee Romanovs. Tegen vele klippen op kwamen er twee vredesconferenties op rij en Den Haag werd juist vanwege de saaiheid opvolger van Wenen 1814-1815. Niet alleen de tsaar spande zich in. Ook president Roosevelt van Amerika, zeker nadat hij een Nobelprijs kreeg voor vrede tussen militaristisch opkomend Japan en de door hen de verwoestend verslagen Russen. Die conferenties bleken verrassend productief. Het Vredespaleis kwam er. En nieuwe regels voor oorlogsrecht. 3] Sergey Radchenko – To run the world, the Kremlin’s Cold War bid for global power (Cambridge, 2024) De tsaar snakte naar vrede, maar hoe zat dat na zijn ondergang met de heersers in het Kremlin? Sergey vertelt het fascinerende verhaal van de ambities van de Sovjet-Unie en haar leiders na 1945. Over honger naar erkenning door Amerika, over de obsessie met Mao en Deng en over vrede met West-Duitsland om de EEG te breken. Het boek put uit vele archieven en inzichten die hier in het Westen nooit bekend waren. To run the world is ook een boek over duo's: rivalen die partners wilden zijn. Stalin en FDR. Mao en Chroesjtsjov. Chroesjtsjov en JFK. En vooral Nixon en Brezjnev. Met als apotheose hoe Reagan er in slaagde met Gorbatsjov aan de pretentie van zulke duo's een eind te maken en hoe Deng daar het meest van profiteerde. 4] Max Boot – Reagan, his Life and Legend (Liveright, 2024) Dit boek werpt nieuw licht op de oud-president van de VS. Een noodzakelijke biografie. Want in dit post-Reagantijdperk in Amerika en zijn Republikeinse partij is een nieuwe, gedistantieerde kijk op zijn betekenis en leven zeer welkom. “Mister Norm is my alias”, zei de man die voor iedereen óók een ster was met aantrekkingskracht uit de gouden jaren van Hollywood. Niemand kende hem daarom echt, op zijn Nancy na. Hij had politiek succes doordat hij uitermate pragmatisch was, verliezen kon slikken en toch als held van hoge principes en idealisme kon blijven stralen. Zo kon hij bijna moeiteloos het Kremlin als 'the Evil Empire' beschimpen en met Moskou samen de voorraad kernraketten fors verminderen, terwijl hij eveneens hightech fantasieën uit zijn oude films werkelijkheid wilde laten worden. Ook hier realist, pragmaticus en visionair tegelijk: “Trust, but verify!” Zijn verbindende warme stijl en zijn aura van idealisme zorgden ervoor dat hij beginselen als vrijhandel, kansen voor vluchtelingen en immigranten en respect voor bondgenoten glans gaf. In het Trump-tijdperk lijkt Reagan inmiddels iemand uit een vergeten verleden. 5] Anne Somerset – Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers (William Collins, 2024) Meer dan zestig jaar wereldmacht, dynastie, intriges en een flamboyant karakter. ‘She reigns but does not rule’ was volgens Anne Somerset een fraaie verpakking voor heel veel complexe en soms heftige politieke toestanden. Ze versleet maar liefst tien premiers. Ze verfoeide Lord Palmerston - die haar manipuleerde - en William Gladstone nog meer. Ze was dol op haar leermeester, ‘Lord M’, en nog meer op 'mijn coauteur' Benjamin Disraeli. Zij manipuleerden elkaar en genoten er schaamteloos van. Ten diepste was de vorstin gewoon dol op politiek, hoe zwaar ze tegen die heren ook zuchtte en klaagde. Somerset toont nog iets. Victoria was buitengewoon toegewijd. Van haar man, 'darling Albert', keek ze af hoe je focust op de essentie, daarbij desnoods koppig bent en ministers te overrompelt met visies en memo's die al klaar lagen voordat die een probleem zagen aankomen. 6] Jasper Dekker, Alexander van Kessel en Afke Groen (red.) – De minister-president, een ambt in ontwikkeling (Boom, 2025) Buitengewoon instructief is de analyse door Jelle Gaemers van de effectiviteit van Willem Drees als minister president. Voor de opvolger van Dick Schoof essentiële, onmisbare lectuur. Ook de gedurfde poging door Ronald Kroeze tot een eerste summa van veertien jaar premier Mark Rutte maakt de bundel de moeite waard. Op de gedachte dat Rutte wel degelijk visie had, maar deze liefst verborg omwille van het VVD-belang, kan nog wel een tijdje gekauwd worden. 7] Thomas Mann – Achtung Europa! Een eigentijdse waarschuwing (Arbeiderspers, 2025) Thomas Mann - favoriet van Mark Rutte - is 150 jaar geleden geboren. Zijn furieus, literair briljant verzet tegen die auteur van Mein Kampf trekt aandacht, mede dankzij de eerste Nederlandse vertaling van zijn bundel Achtung Europa!. Voortreffelijk hoe Arnon Grunberg daarbij ook de eigenaardigheden van de grote schrijver niet veronachtzaamt. PG haalt nog iets erbij: de eerste druk uit 1938 uit zijn persoonlijke collectie. En nóg zo'n letterkundig juweel, want deze nieuwe vertaling biedt meer voor de lezer - zelfs nu nog - en dat komt uit een ander boek van Thomas Mann. Meest verbluffend is hoe Mann zich durft te verdiepen in en vereenzelvigen met Adolf Hitler. Zag deze zich niet vooral ook als een kunstenaar, een bohemien? Zat in niet elke artistieke geest wat vertekend en duivels verziekt in deze politieke extremist zit? Geen tijdgenoot heeft zo briljant, zo ijskoud en ook zelfkritisch durven kijken naar 'Broeder Hitler', de tiran als verwante ziel. En wat verbindt Victoria, Mann, Rutte, Stalin en Hitler? Operaliefde. In het bijzonder het werk van Richard Wagner. *** Verder luisteren 1] 478 - Was Hitler een socialist? 105 - 75 jaar bevrijding: Dagelijks leven in Nazi-Duitsland 341 - Oplichterij, kunstmatige intelligentie en de dagboeken van Hitler 2] 508 – De NAVO-top in Den Haag moet de onvoorspelbare Trump vooral niet gaan vervelen 481 - Donald Trumps nieuwe idool William McKinley, ‘de tarievenkoning’ 342 - Willem-Alexander en het einde van de monarchie. Plus: zijn eigenzinnige voorgangers 3] 258 - De kille vriendschap tussen Rusland en China 163 - De ondergang van de Sovjet-Unie: hoe een wereldmacht verdampte 298 - De Cubacrisis, dertien dagen die de wereld schokten. En: de angst voor nucleaire catastrofe nu 4] 133 - Amerikaanse presidenten: boeken die je volgens PG móet lezen! 44 - Franklin D.

Matteo Speroni"Mussolini deve morire"Gigi SperoniDicembre 1944 quando Giovanni Pesce tentò di uccidere il ducePrefazione di Antonio ScuratiPostfazione di Matteo SperoniMimesis Edizioniwww.mimesisedizioni.itDicembre 1944. Milano è una città piegata dai bombardamenti, avvolta dal gelo di un inverno spietato, affamata di pane e di speranza. Il fascismo, ormai agli sgoccioli, si arrocca nell'illusione di un ultimo colpo di coda capace di ribaltare le sorti di un conflitto già deciso. In questo scenario, Mussolini, ormai commissariato dai nazisti, compie un gesto disperato: lascia il rifugio sicuro sul lago di Garda e torna nel cuore della città. La sua apparizione al teatro Lirico, tra una folla sorpresa e smarrita, ha il sapore di un'ultima, vana messinscena. Ma la storia ha già scritto il finale. Il suo colpo di teatro è solo l'ultimo atto prima della fine. Pochi mesi dopo, Hitler si suiciderà nel bunker di Berlino e lui sarà catturato e fucilato a Dongo, nell'aprile del 1945. Eppure, il destino avrebbe potuto prendere un'altra piega. Giovanni Pesce, nome di battaglia “Visone”, comandante dei Gruppi di Azione Patriottica, aveva progettato di colpirlo proprio a Milano, in quei giorni d'inverno. E cosa sarebbe successo se l'attentato fosse riuscito? Questa è la cronaca di un'azione mai compiuta, immersa nel contesto feroce e lacerato in cui maturò: un mondo di spie, doppiogiochisti e traditori, ma anche di uomini e donne pronti a morire per un ideale.Gigi Speroni, scrittore e giornalista, ha fatto parte delle redazioni de “La Notte” e del “Corriere della Sera”.

We welcome you to this in-depth, investigative, fact-finding episode of Light ‘Em Up.Thank you for joining us — as we march one step closer to achieving an enormous milestone, our 100th episode!In this episode we are diving into complex and impactful topics. We'll drill down on the concept of Birthright Citizenship — enshrined by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  The 14th Amendment does not equivocate. It states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States.”  A president cannot change those facts with a stroke of his pen.We will introduce to you in detail the concepts of jus soli and jus sanguinis.Jus soli: The principle of law also known as birthright citizenship is the principle that a person's citizenship is determined by the place of their birth, regardless of the parents' nationality.It contrasts with jus sanguinis, which determines citizenship based on parentage.On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order trying to end birthright citizenship. Specifically, the order states that after February 19, 2025, citizenship will only be granted to babies born in the United States if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.Birthright citizenship stems from the principle of jus soli, that all children born in the United States are U.S. citizens. Birthright citizenship has remained a bedrock of our country and was enshrined in our constitution in 1868 when the states ratified the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified to repudiate the infamous Dred Scott decision that denied Black people the protections of U.S. citizenship. In 1898, the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed that children born in the U.S. to immigrant parents were entitled to U.S. citizenship in the case United States v. Wong Kim Ark.Over 250 years ago our founding fathers, in the constitution, established 3 separate branches of government: the Executive, Judicial and Legislative. The Supreme Court (and the MAGA 6 on the court) have ceded a great deal of the other 2 branches' power to the Executive Branch — doing tremendous harm to the country.Chief Justice John Marshall famously said, “It has always been the duty and responsibility of the Federal Judiciary to say what the law is, both as to constitutional and statutory law” The Federal Judiciary is not a political role, at all.  Donald Trump has sought to “weaponize” the law and the judiciary to appease his whims.  Rich people can afford their whims.We examine in depth how Trump's large-scale deportations will have devastating impact on employment across our nation.  The nativist Trump administration is waging a war against the rule of law.When all the migrant workers who pick and process the oranges in sunny Florida are arrested, detained and deported and when a glass of orange juice at your golf course county club will cost $35 — you'll clearly understand the true costs and the real human effects of Trump's campaign of xenophobic arrests, detentions and deportations will have on the economy and workforce of the U.S.Barely 2 months into his administration he has issued over 100 executive orders. More shenanigans will ensue.  Trump has declared war on the Federal Judiciary and the rule of law.America is in a crisis, and many aren't even aware of it.  The Constitution is being tested like never before.  Will it break?  Will the Supreme Court continue to help make Donald Trump a dictator?  The courts gave power to Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini.Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.Tune in for all the powerful facts and figures.Follow our sponsoWe want to hear from you!

In her new book, The Perfect Fascist: A Story of Love, Power, and Morality in Mussolini's Italy (Belknap Press), Dr. Victoria de Grazia takes the story of Attilio Teruzzi and explores the social history of fascism. When Attilio Teruzzi, Mussolini's handsome political enforcer, married a rising young American opera star, his good fortune seemed settled. The wedding was a carefully stage-managed affair, capped with a blessing by Mussolini himself. Yet only three years later, after being promoted to commander of the Black Shirts, Teruzzi renounced his wife. In fascist Italy, a Catholic country with no divorce law, he could only dissolve the marriage by filing for an annulment through the medieval procedures of the Church Court. The proceedings took an ominous turn when Mussolini joined Hitler: Lilliana Teruzzi was Jewish, and fascist Italy would soon introduce its first race laws. The Perfect Fascist pivots from the intimate story of a tempestuous seduction and inconvenient marriage―brilliantly reconstructed through family letters and court records―to a riveting account of Mussolini's rise and fall. It invites us to see in the vain, loyal, lecherous, and impetuous Attilio Teruzzi, a decorated military officer, an exemplar of fascism's New Man. Why did he abruptly discard the woman he had so eagerly courted? And why, when the time came to find another partner, did he choose another Jewish woman as his would-be wife? In Victoria de Grazia's engrossing account, we see him vacillating between the will of his Duce and the dictates of his heart. De Grazia's landmark history captures the seductive appeal of fascism and shows us how, in his moral pieties and intimate betrayals, his violence and opportunism, Teruzzi is a forefather of the illiberal politicians of today.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver feel like the media spotlight shines in all the wrong places? While everyone obsesses over Sydney Sweeney's blue jeans, we're diving into stories that actually deserve our attention but aren't making headlines.First, a practical guide to dining out wisely as we explore eight expert-identified red flags that signal it's time to leave a restaurant. From the obvious signs like dirty conditions and argumentative staff to the more peculiar warnings about establishments "overloaded with influencers," these indicators offer valuable guidance for your next meal out. Though some seem tailored more to LA than Alabama's Gibson's Barbecue, they provide food for thought on what we should expect from our dining experiences.The conversation then travels beneath Rome's ancient streets, where an extraordinary discovery awaits. Hidden for over a century, a vast 42,000 square-foot network of tunnels and caves known as the Capitoline Grotto once thrived during Julius Caesar's time. This underground marvel served as everything from quarries and taverns to bomb shelters and bustling 19th-century marketplaces before being sealed by Mussolini in the 1920s. After a $2.8 million restoration, these historical passages will finally welcome visitors again in 2026 – a true hidden treasure of the Eternal City.We wrap up with a crucial warning about a new scam targeting social media users. Fraudsters are approaching people with requests to use their photos for supposed art projects, complete with promises of commissions and finished copies. The scam reveals itself when they ask for personal information for "e-check" payments – a reminder to stay vigilant online even when interactions seem innocent or flattering.What national holiday do you think August should have?

Dalla parola latina vates, indovino, profeta, per l'alta qualità della sua poesia. Stiamo parlando di Gabriele D'Annunzio, chiamato anche l'immagnifico, per essere stato uno dei maggiori poeti dell'epoca della fine dell'Ottocento e l'inizio del 900. Tanto da influenzare gli usi e I costumi dell'Italia di quel tempo e creare un periodo che sarebbe poi stato chiamato il D'Annunzionesimo che coinvolge la moda, essendo il poeta amante dell'eleganza, dell'estetica espansa perché era un grande esteta e portato l'estetica in tutte le forme della vita, e trasformando la sua stessa esistenza, la sua stessa vita in un'opera d'arte, che è impossibile da imitare.D'Annunzio però è stato anche un giornalista e poi un politico e un militare. Le sue idee patriottiche però sono sfociate purtroppo nel fascismo, e anzi I suoi slogan conosciuti come I Motti D'Annunziani hanno dato le idee al fascismo per la scenografia delle celebrazioni e delle feste fasciste, la teatralità e anche la mimica di Mussolini sono ispirate a lui. La sua vita però è stata come vi dicevo molto originale ed avventurosa e vale la pena che ve la racconti. Gabriele D'Annunzio nasce a Pescara nella regione degli Abruzzi il 12 marzo del 1863. La famiglia è una famiglia borghese benestante e Gabriele eredita dalla madre la sensibilità e il carattere deciso del padre....- The full transcript of this Episode is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.

En esta entrega te ofrecemos un análisis sobre cómo funcionó el sistema global de la colonia, la importancia de las narrativas y el dominio mental, y el poder de establecer límites políticos en un mapa. Recopilando acontecimientos estelares del siglo XIX y el siglo XX, recordamos experiencias africanas de descolonización, como la de Etiopía y Mussolini, la Francia de Vichy durante la ocupación nazi, Kenia y los Mao Mao, el panarabismo y la nacionalización del canal del Suez, la revolución de los claveles en Portugal, y el caso sudafricano liderado por Mandela. Todo esto con la esperanza de que, al revisitar el pasado africano, construyamos un mejor futuro. Notas del episodio  Este episodio fue traído a ustedes gracias a Boston Scientific Si quieres conocer más detalles sobre las historias aquí contadas, te recomendamos consultar el libro de Diana Uribe “África, nuestra tercera raíz”, una investigación profunda sobre la configuración del continente africano y su diáspora en Colombia. Si estás interesado en comprender más a fondo cómo funciona la distinción entre civilización y barbarie, visita el libro “Orientalismo” de Edward W. Said, un clásico histórico que se ocupa de analizar la configuración de la mirada hegemónica occidental sobre otros pueblos.  Si lo que buscas es analizar cómo el poder de los imperios europeos continuaron influenciando las realidades africanas después de sus procesos de descolonización, te sugerimos revisar el texto conceptual del historiador camerunés Achille Mbembe, “Necropolítica”. Si quieres indagar sobre cómo las naciones africanas se han ocupado durante las últimas décadas en descolonizar sus culturas, te invitamos a escuchar la charla “El peligro de una sola historia” ofrecida por la literata nigeriana Chimamanda Adichie.

Will the world look away as Gazans are being starved to death and driven out of Gaza? Is the plan for Gaza to become part of Israel? Is that the position of the Trump administration? Given that Trump is quickly moving America toward autocracy, it shouldn't be surprising that he himself displays the so-called Dark Triad of personality characteristics that are so easily observed in historical figures like Hitler, Pinochet, Mussolini, and modern-day autocrats like Putin, Orbán, and Erdoğon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oggi si associa il totalitarismo a nazismo e stalinismo, ma il termine nacque in Italia per descrivere la dittatura fascista. Mussolini ne fece persino un vanto. Tuttavia, il regime non riuscì mai a imporsi pienamente: un limite che rivela l'identità profonda e frammentata della società italiana.

Your favorite clinical psychologists, John Gartner and Harry Segal, continue to sound the alarm about the judiciary while Trump is caught on camera stealing a soccer medal. Laurie Winer, journalist and historian, returns to talk about the dangerous encroachment of authoritarianism and its resemblance to Germany in the 1930s. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio Welcome to the latest episode of Shrinking Trump, arriving at a pivotal moment when courtroom drama and raw political theater collide. As Trump juggles mounting legal battles, his influence shows no sign of waning—yet fissures are beginning to fracture the MAGA façade. Gartner and Siegel open by tracing Trump's malignant narcissism: the unquenchable thirst for admiration, the cruelty toward anyone who dares question him, the fantasy of unchallenged power. But while his base rallies, his public stumbles multiply. From verbal gaffes to unsteady on-camera moments, the signs of cognitive decline are impossible to ignore. That toxic mix—rising clout paired with slipping acuity—is, Siegel warns, a worst-case scenario for American democracy. Guest expert Laurie Winer draws chilling parallels to Mussolini and Hitler, showing how fear-mongering rhetoric and scapegoating minorities paved the way for totalitarian rule. Her historical lens makes one truth inescapable: democracy survives only so long as citizens remain vigilant. The conversation then shifts to the courts, where every ruling has become a brick in Trump's path to impunity. Judges have blocked his overreach at the International Criminal Court, rebuffed his bids to curb Pentagon research, and even tossed out his lawsuit against Bob Woodward. Each decision recalibrates the balance of power—sometimes in his favor, sometimes as a rebuke, but always underscoring the stakes. Next comes the Epstein entanglement—a topic no MAGA mouthpiece can avoid. Through interviews, archival clips, and whistleblower testimony, Gartner and Siegel unravel the web of denials and cover-ups. Why do so many Republican leaders keep defending a man tied to the worst allegations? The answer lies in the toxic alliance of loyalty and fear. At every turn, Trump's compulsive dishonesty assaults democratic trust. Gartner calls it a strategic assault on shared reality, an effort to fracture institutions by turning facts into negotiable commodities. When lies become normalized, watchdogs lose their bite and accountability slips through the cracks. Shrinking Trump offers more than analysis—it's a call to intellectual arms. By mapping Trump's mental landscape, exposing his methods, and spotlighting his enablers, this episode equips listeners to recognize authoritarian drift before it's too late. Catch Shrinking Trump on your preferred streaming platform. Understanding the psychology behind the politics is the first step toward defending democracy—and reminding those in power that they answer to the people, not the other way around.

durée : 00:58:47 - Les Grandes Traversées - Dépressif, alcoolo-tabagique, peintre, amoureux de l'art et des animaux, sir Winston Churchill est un homme qu'il faut découvrir en faisant le tour, notamment en comprenant ce qu'il a fait quand il s'est retiré de la vie politique. À Chartwell, dans l'intimité de la demeure de Winston Churchill, se dévoile l'univers personnel de l'ancien Premier ministre britannique. Passion pour la peinture, lutte contre la dépression et héritage familial tissent le portrait d'un homme aux multiples facettes. Une salle à manger, une toile, une époque La visite commence dans la salle à manger de Chartwell, que Churchill avait aménagée bien avant de s'y installer définitivement. Rien n'est laissé au hasard, et l'on découvre un espace à la fois bourgeois et vivant, utilisé pour le thé plus que pour les repas. C'est aussi là qu'il a peint Bottlescape, un tableau né d'un jeu familial qui consistait en ce que ses enfants rassemblent les bouteilles éparpillées dans la maison. La peinture apparaît comme le reflet d'un moment intime, presque ludique. Un peintre amateur à l'âme tourmentée La peinture de Churchill ne laisse pas indifférent. Jean Blot, écrivain et biographe, compare avec une pointe d'ironie le style de Churchill à celui de Hitler : "un art sentimental de jeunes filles bien élevées", techniquement maîtrisé, mais sans audace. Cette observation ouvre une réflexion plus large : malgré leurs antagonismes politiques, les deux hommes partagent une certaine candeur restée intacte. Winston Churchill peignait pour se libérer, en amateur passionné, exposant même sous pseudonyme en France. Dans les tranchées de la Somme, il s'acharnait à reproduire la couleur exacte des cratères d'obus – un détail qui en dit long sur sa rigueur et sa persévérance. Dans Churchill d'Angleterre, l'écrivain Albert Cohen voyait en cet homme la force du prophète, la qualité du poète révélant à son pays sa grandeur. Un extrait lu à l'antenne rappelle la ferveur avec laquelle Albert Cohen célébrait Winston Churchill, louant sa détermination et sa bonté. Mais Churchill savait aussi manier l'ironie, comme en témoigne une anecdote rapportée par l'un de ses gendres : à la question "qui auriez-vous aimé être ?", Churchill répondit : "Mussolini, parce qu'il a fait fusiller son gendre" – un trait d'humour noir typique de son esprit caustique. Famille, alcool et zones d'ombre La face sombre de Churchill n'est pas éludée. Son alcoolisme – il buvait du matin au soir, mais sans perdre le contrôle – contraste avec le destin tragique de ses enfants : trois sur quatre sont morts des conséquences de leur alcoolisme. Son fils Randolph, malgré un réel courage et une intelligence certaine, ne parvint jamais à sortir de l'ombre paternelle. Quant à Churchill lui-même, il faisait face à des épisodes dépressifs qu'il appelait son "Black dog" : des phases de mélancolie profonde, parfois suicidaires, qui jalonnèrent toute sa vie.

“To live, a people must always be able to know its past, to judge it, to accept it.”— Simone Veil, French politician and Shoah survivor When I sat down with historian Anastasios Karababas to discuss his new book, In the Footsteps of the Jews of Greece: From Ancient Times to the Present Day (Paperback, published January 30, 2024), I was struck by the depth and complexity of the story he tells—a story that spans over 2,500 years and is still unfolding today. Karababas in the book and the conversation guided me through the origins and evolution of Jewish life in Greece from ancient times to today. We discussed the four major Jewish groups whose histories are intertwined with the Greek landscape: Romaniots, the ancient Greek Jews whose presence predates the Romans. Ashkenazi Jews, who arrived between the 11th and 13th centuries, bringing their Central European traditions. Sephardic Jews, who found refuge in Greece after their expulsion from Spain in the 15th century, especially revitalizing the community in Thessaloniki. Italian Jews, who settled in the 16th century, further enriching the community's diversity. Thessaloniki, once known as the "Jerusalem of the Balkans," stood out in our conversation as a beacon of Jewish life, with Jews making up 30–40% of the city's population at its height. Karababas's account of the 20th century was both inspiring and heartbreaking. Before World War II, there were about 75,000 Jews in Greece. He shared the stories of Jews who served in the Greek army against Mussolini, a testament to their deep sense of belonging. But the Holocaust cast a long shadow, with 85% of the community deported and wiping out around 90% of the community leaving a profound void. Today, as Karababas explained, the Jewish population in Greece numbers only about 5,000, spread across nine communities—a stark contrast to the more than thirty that once existed. Only Athens, Thessaloniki, and Larissa still have resident rabbis. These communities survive through private funding and the interest of Jewish heritage tourism, striving to keep their unique traditions alive. Our discussion also touched on the complexities of Judeophobia in Greece. Karababas described Judeophobia as a blend of anti-semitism, anti-zionism, and anti-Judaism, with roots in the influence of the Greek Orthodox Church. He characterized current anti-semitism as “superficial,” with few violent incidents. Despite the rise in anti-zionist sentiment, he pointed out that Greece maintains strong governmental ties with Israel, reflecting the nuanced relationship between Greek society, its Jewish citizens, and the broader region. Reading In the Footsteps of the Jews of Greece: From Ancient Times to the Present Day and speaking with Karababas reminded me how vital it is to know, judge, and accept our past as a means of ensuring a safer future. The story of Greek Jewry is one of migration, tragedy, and renewal—a testament to resilience and the enduring spirit of a people determined to remember and to live. Learn more about your ad choices.

“Italy, Gentlemen, wants peace, wants quiet, wants work, wants calm; we will give it with love, if that be possible, or with strength, if that be necessary.” This is the story of Italy's Benito Mussolini's creation of fascism and rise to power in interwar Italy. Benito starts life the way his father intended—as a socialist—and the often moving, young schoolteacher quickly emerges as a leading voice in the movement as he's entrusted to serve as the editor of one of the party's most important newspapers. But the Great War changes that. Benito supports it, the party doesn't, and by the conflict's end, the returned soldier has a new idea—one that takes him across the political spectrum, all the way from the Marxist left to the nationalist far-right—a violent, war-glorifying, anti-democratic, one-party, dictatorial version of nationalism. He calls it “fascism.”  Benito speaks of order. Economic prosperity. National pride. Some see his black-clad fighting squads, known as “Blackshirts,” as their saviors from the far-left's communism, so feared in the wake of the recent Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Indeed, many Italians welcome his march on Rome and his growing powers as Prime Minister, and celebrate his foreign policy achievements, including a reconciliation between Italy and the Vatican.  But as Benito kills Italy's constitutional monarchy in all but name as he turns into a dictator, conquers Ethiopia, ignores the League of Nations, and bonds with Germany's rising dictator Adolf Hitler, former allies are growing concerned. Some fear his anti-democratic path will also embolden Germany. As W.E.B. Du Bois questions: “If Italy takes her pound of flesh by force, does anyone suppose that Germany will not make a similar attempt?” Only time will tell.
