On this week's short but sweet Talkhouse episode—I might even call it a mini-sode—we've got a couple of guys at interesting points in their interesting careers. Both have been flirtatious with the mainstream, but not exactly in it. It's Jakob Nowell and Yelawolf.  Jakob Nowell was still an infant when his dad, Bradley Nowell, died at just 28. Bradley was the frontman for the Southern California band Sublime, whose music would go on to reach a much wider audience not long after his death. The other two members of Sublime continued with a different singer, with varying degrees of success, while Jakob Nowell grew up and starting making music on his own. A couple of years back, Jakob got together with his dad's old bandmates and reignited Sublime again—and the fact that his voice sounds remarkably like his dad's made it a welcome transition for the band's fans. This new Sublime recorded an album, which they say will be the band's last, and they tour and play like crazy, including owning their own festival packed with reggae and punk-tinged fellow travelers. Those fellow travelers include the other half of today's conversation, Yelawolf, who will play a bunch of shows with Sublime this year, including the band's cruise in November and a big amphitheater in Alabama next week. There aren't many musicians who can claim collaborations with Ed Sheeran, Eminem, Travis Barker, A$AP Rocky and Tech 9, but the Nashville-based rapper can. He's been around for a long time, and has always seemed like a musical seeker. His next album, 45, is coming out later this year, and it reportedly features no rapping at all. Check out the single “My Country” right here and see for yourself. I caught these guys on a busy day and they didn't chat very long, but I still felt like there was enough there to share: They chat about hanging out backstage with superstars at the Aftershock Festival, about potentially collaborating in the future—they even have a dream third member of their trio in mind—and about Jakob's emotional trips to the last venue his father ever played. Check it out. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Jakob Nowell and Yelawolf for chatting.

The Continental Congress voted unanimously in Philadelphia on July 2 to adopt a resolution dissolving ties with Great Britain — except for New York, whose four delegates (William Floyd, Francis Lewis, Philip Livingston and Lewis Morris) abstained because they had not received instructions from the provincial Congress. On July 3, Congress fine-tuned the wording of the Declaration of Independence, voting the next day to approve it. John Hancock, the president of the Congress, signed the document, along with the secretary, Charles Thompson. (A parchment copy was signed by the delegates on Aug. 2.) On July 8, the declaration was read to the public in White Plains and many other cities. Gen. George Washington, in New York City, ordered officers to read the document to their troops. On July 9, the New York Congress adopted a resolution in support of the declaration; in response, its delegates added their "yes" votes on July 15. In New York City, patriots pulled down an equestrian statue of King George III to melt it for ammunition. The British sent two frigates, HMS Phoenix (44 guns) and HMS Rose (20 guns), up the Hudson River to test its defenses. British Gen. William Howe arrived at Staten Island with 130 ships and 10,000 troops. The next day, his brother, Vice Adm. Richard Howe, arrived with 150 ships and 11,000 troops. They sent a message to Washington, who forwarded it to Congress, offering reconciliation and pardon. The Americans felt they had done nothing that required pardon and, besides, they had already declared independence. On July 21, Washington hired two engineers to assess the condition of the forts in the Highlands. On July 26, general orders in New York City noted that "complaints have been made that some of the soldiers ill treat the country people who come to market [to sell vegetables]. The general most positively forbids this behavior." A man driving on the Albany Post Road past Mekeel's Corner [Route 301] at 1 p.m. on a Friday spotted a fire at a tenement house near the chapel. He raised the alarm, and Thomas Mekeel and his sons ran to the site. The front door was locked, so they assumed it was vacant. But during a search, they found Mrs. Samuel Lecount napping in her bed in the attic. She was a heavy woman, so it was with difficulty that they brought her downstairs. The house was a total loss. Two travelers appeared on a Friday at 6 p.m. near the post office in Cold Spring offering to swallow a 13-inch blade for 5 cents [about $1.50 today], or whatever could be offered. The Cold Spring Recorder reported that the water in the cistern at the corner of Main and Chestnut had a woody flavor. The editor said it appeared to contain filaments worn from the wood by the motion of the pump. The Baptist Church hosted a community celebration of the centennial. The program was as follows: "My Country, Tis of Thee"; a prayer by the rector at St. Mary's; "Hold the Fort"; the Declaration of Independence, read by Isaac Vanwinkle; "The Centennial Hymn"; a sermon by the Rev. C.J. Page; "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow"; and a benediction by the rector. The Village Board ordered signs posted at the public pumps noting that the water was to be used only for domestic purposes. Henry Birdsall, so infirm that he had to be helped home after a visit to Dykeman's store in Nelsonville, was found dead in the stall where he lived in the old Davenport place. It was said that he bought a vial of laudanum [tincture of opium] at Dykeman's for his swollen limbs, and that the vial was found empty, but a coroner's jury did not find any evidence of narcotic poisoning. A dog belonging to Benjamin Hughson bit Mr. Nichols of Nelsonville on the leg as he was passing Town Hall. The animal was shot the next day. Due to the failure of Congress to make appropriations, a large number of workmen were dismissed at West Point. John McGurk hung a sign from his Main Street store with a "well-drawn eagle and shaded in good taste," according to The Rec...

China's Golden Age on the Western Bookshelf China may seem like a big story today, but its presence on Western bookshelves was even greater during the 1930s. Books about China not only appeared on bestseller lists but often dominated them. In this short solo episode, John discusses some of the most notable titles of the decade. He begins with Pearl S. Buck's The Good Earth and ends with Ruth Harkness's account of panda collecting. Most of the popular books about China were highly sympathetic to the Chinese people. We take a close look at a striking exception: Ralph Townsend's now-forgotten Ways That Are Dark, which viciously attacked China and lavished praise on Japan. Show Notes Books mentioned in the episode: The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck (1931) Also by Buck: Fighting Angel: Portrait of a Soul and The Exile (both 1936) Oil for the Lamps of China by Alice Tisdale Hobart (1933) Lost Horizon by James Hilton (1933) Ways That Are Dark: The Truth About China by Ralph Townsend (1933) My Country and My People by Lin Yutang (1935) Lin also wrote: The Importance of Living (1937) The Blue Lotus by Hergé / Georges Remi (1936)News from Tartary: A Journey from Peking to Kashmir by Peter Fleming (1936) Four Hundred Million Customers: The Experiences – Some Happy, Some Sad – of an American in China, and What They Taught Him by Carl Crow (1937) Red Star Over China by Edgar Snow (1937 in Britain, 1938 in the U.S.) The Lady and the Panda: An Adventure by Ruth Harkness (1938) The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press.

From the publisher:“Does Thomas Jefferson still matter?” ask two leading historians on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.Thomas Jefferson has been reinvented more than perhaps any American president in history. In the nineteenth century, slavery's defenders invoked Jefferson's defense of states' rights while abolitionists drew on his antislavery writings in support of their cause. After the Civil War, Jefferson's reputation declined because of his association with secession and disunion, but in the twentieth century, his image soared as he came to embody the democratic values America fought for during World War II. Unsurprisingly, Jefferson's legacy has shifted yet again in the twenty-first century, effectively becoming a partisan talisman—jettisoned by the left as a plantation patriarch and repurposed by the right as an avatar of white nationalism. Dissatisfied with these political caricatures and manic swings, leading Jefferson scholars Peter S. Onuf and Francis D. Cogliano instead situate the founding father in his complicated historical context and reveal how his wisdom can be applied today. In a series of three interrelated essays, the authors paint a nuanced portrait. “Generations” elucidates how Jefferson's understanding of history shaped his responses to the major problems of his time. “My Country” delves into how he conceived of the American homeland, and “The People” unravels how Jefferson articulated a new national identity in the Declaration of Independence. Taken together, Thomas Jefferson Survives demonstrates how even amid crisis, Jefferson managed to articulate a capacious and optimistic vision for the future of the American people. As Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed writes in her foreword, “As much as Jefferson reflected the often-benighted times in which he lived, he rose above them in ways that have a great deal to tell us about the political straits in which we find ourselves.” After all, Jefferson knew better than anyone that 1776 was an important moment, but not the only moment, for Americans to write a better future."Information on his book can be found at https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324098072AxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Première partie: Une métisse en contexte colonialBienvenus à un nouvel épisode de N'Autre Histoire, le podcast qui parle de l'histoire d'un point de vue décolonial. Aujourd'hui, je vais vous parler d'une grande figure des indépendances africaines, longtemps oubliée de l'histoire dominante. Il s'agit d'Andrée Blouin, une militante anticolonialiste et panafricaniste des années 1950-1960. Cheffe du protocole de Patrice Lumumba acteur majeur de l'indépendance du Congo, elle côtoie également des figures de la période des décolonisations africaines comme Sékou Touré, Kwame Nkrumah ou Ahmed Ben Bella.Pendant des décennies, son autobiographie My Country, Africa (publiée en 1983) n'a été disponible qu'en anglais. Elle a été traduite pour la première fois en français par sa fille Eve Blouin et publiée en mai de cette année aux éditions Hors d'Atteinte sous le titre « Mon pays, l'Afrique : autobiographie ».D'un point de vue historique, ce livre est une archive très importante. Sa lecture est fluide et captivante. Le livre aborde différentes thématiques qui seront développées dans cet épisode, à savoir le métissage en contexte colonial, la violence de la colonisation, mais aussi la capacité d'action et l'activisme politique au féminin.L'épisode que je vous propose ici s'appuie sur cette autobiographie. Il se divisera en deux parties. Dans la première, nous allons voir ce qu'est le métissage en contexte colonial, comment il s'agit avant tout d'un phénomène résultant de la violence de la colonisation. La deuxième partie situera Andrée Blouin dans le contexte des décolonisations, en tant qu'une actrice politique majeure de cette période.Andrée Blouin, Mon pays, l'Afrique. Autobiographie. Traduit de l'anglais par Eve Blouin avec la collaboration de Laure Mistral, Hors d'Atteinte (2025). Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

"നമ്മുടെ ഈ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം ആരുടെയും ഔദാര്യമല്ല, കണ്ണുനീരും ചോരയും നൽകി നമ്മൾ പിടിച്ചുവാങ്ങിയതാണ്. ചമ്മട്ടിയടികളും അപമാനങ്ങളും ഏറ്റുവാങ്ങിയ ആ കറുത്ത ദിനങ്ങൾ ഇനി അവസാനിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. ഇനി നമ്മൾ ആരുടെയും അടിമകളല്ല!" എന്ന് അദ്ദേഹം വിറയ്ക്കാത്ത ശബ്ദത്തിൽ പ്രഖ്യാപിച്ചു. പാൻ-ആഫ്രിക്കനിസം എന്ന മഹത്തായ ആശയത്തിലൂടെ ആഫ്രിക്കൻ രാജ്യങ്ങളുടെ ഐക്യത്തിനായി അദ്ദേഹം ദാഹിച്ചു.​എന്നാൽ കോംഗോയുടെ മണ്ണിലെ വജ്രവും യുറേനിയവും കൊള്ളയടിക്കാൻ കാത്തിരുന്ന പാശ്ചാത്യ ശക്തികൾക്ക് ലുമുംബ ഒരു പേടിസ്വപ്നമായി മാറി. സ്വന്തം രാജ്യത്തെ വഞ്ചകരും വിദേശ ചാരസംഘടനകളും ചേർന്ന് ആ പാവം മനുഷ്യനെ വേട്ടയാടി. അധികാരമേറ്റ് മാസങ്ങൾക്കുള്ളിൽ തന്നെ അദ്ദേഹം തടവിലാക്കപ്പെട്ടു. 1961 ജനുവരിയിലെ ആ ക്രൂരമായ രാത്രിയിൽ, മരണം തൊട്ടടുത്തെത്തി നിൽക്കുമ്പോൾ അദ്ദേഹം തന്റെ പ്രിയപ്പെട്ടവൾക്ക്, പോളിന് ഒരു കത്തെഴുതി. അത് വെറുമൊരു വിടവാങ്ങൽ കത്തായിരുന്നില്ല; മറിച്ച്, ഒരു ജനതയുടെ മുഴുവൻ പോരാട്ടവീര്യത്തെയും പ്രണയത്തെയും ആവാഹിച്ചുവെച്ച അഗ്നിനാളമായിരുന്നു.​"എന്റെ പ്രിയപ്പെട്ടവളേ... ഈ വരികൾ നിനക്ക് ലഭിക്കുമ്പോഴേക്കും ഞാൻ ഈ ലോകത്തോട് വിടപറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ടാകാം. പക്ഷേ എനിക്ക് സങ്കടമില്ല. എന്റെ മരണം ഒരു അവസാനമല്ല, മറിച്ച് ഒരു വലിയ തുടക്കമാണ്. അവർക്ക് എന്റെ ശരീരത്തെ തകർക്കാം, ആസിഡിലൊഴുക്കി ഇല്ലാതാക്കാം. പക്ഷേ എന്റെ സ്വപ്നങ്ങളെയും ആദർശങ്ങളെയും തകർക്കാൻ ഒരു സാമ്രാജ്യത്വ ശക്തിക്കും കഴിയില്ല. കരയരുത് പോളിൻ... നിന്റെ കണ്ണുനീർ ശത്രുക്കൾക്ക് ആയുധമാകരുത്. പകരം നമ്മുടെ മക്കൾക്ക് നീ പറഞ്ഞു കൊടുക്കുക—അവരുടെ അച്ഛൻ ഒരു രാജ്യത്തിനുവേണ്ടി, ഒരു ജനതയുടെ അഭിമാനത്തിനുവേണ്ടി ചിരിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് മരണം വരിച്ചവനാണെന്ന്. വിട... നമ്മൾ വീണ്ടും കാണും, ഒരു സ്വതന്ത്രമായ ആഫ്രിക്കയുടെ ആകാശത്തിന് കീഴിൽ!"​ആ കത്തെഴുതി മണിക്കൂറുകൾക്കുള്ളിൽ കാട്ടിലെ ഒരു മരത്തിൽ കെട്ടിയിട്ട് ആ വിപ്ലവകാരിയെ അവർ വെടിവെച്ചുകൊന്നു. തെളിവ് നശിപ്പിക്കാനായി അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ശരീരം ആസിഡിൽ ലയിപ്പിച്ചു കളഞ്ഞു. എന്നാൽ ശരീരം ഇല്ലാതാക്കാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞെങ്കിലും ലുമുംബ എന്ന 'ആശയത്തെ' കൊന്നുതള്ളാൻ അവർക്ക് കഴിഞ്ഞില്ല. ലുമുംബയുടെ ഈ പോരാട്ടവീര്യം ലോകമെമ്പാടുമുള്ള വിപ്ലവകാരികളെ സ്വാധീനിച്ചു. വിശ്വവിഖ്യാതനായ മാൽക്കം എക്സ് അദ്ദേഹത്തെ വിശേഷിപ്പിച്ചത് "ആഫ്രിക്കയിലെ ഏറ്റവും മഹാനായ വ്യക്തി" എന്നാണ്. മഹാനായ നെൽസൺ മണ്ടേല തന്റെ പോരാട്ടങ്ങളിൽ ലുമുംബ നൽകിയ ആവേശം എടുത്തുപറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്. വിപ്ലവകാരി ചെഗുവേര ലുമുംബയുടെ രക്തസാക്ഷിത്വത്തെ സാമ്രാജ്യത്വത്തിന്റെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ ക്രൂരതയായിട്ടാണ് അടയാളപ്പെടുത്തിയത്.​ഈ വീരനായകന്റെ ജീവിതം അറിയാൻ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നവർക്ക് ലുഡോ ഡി വിറ്റിന്റെ 'The Assassination of Lumumba' എന്ന പുസ്തകം ഒരു കണ്ണ് തുറപ്പിക്കലാണ്. ലുമുംബ സ്വന്തം നിലപാടുകൾ വ്യക്തമാക്കിയ 'Congo, My Country' എന്ന കൃതിയും ആഫ്രിക്കയുടെ വിമോചന സ്വപ്നങ്ങൾ തിരിച്ചറിയാൻ സഹായിക്കും. എമ ബ്രൗണിന്റെ 'The Lumumba Plot' എന്ന പുസ്തകം അദ്ദേഹത്തിനെതിരെയുള്ള ആഗോള ഗൂഢാലോചനകളെ തുറന്നു കാണിക്കുന്നു.​ഇന്നും ലോകമെമ്പാടുമുള്ള വിമോചന പോരാട്ടങ്ങൾക്ക് ലുമുംബ ഒരു ഊർജ്ജമാണ്. സാമ്രാജ്യത്വ വിരുദ്ധ പോരാട്ടങ്ങളുടെ കത്തുന്ന ജ്വാലയായി പാട്രിസ് ലുമുംബ ചരിത്രത്തിൽ അനശ്വരനായി നിലകൊള്ളുന്നു.✍️ Shan Salim

Many Christians have been taught a version of American history that treats faith as an afterthought—or worse, a problem to overcome. But what if the story is more complicated than that? What if the men who shaped this nation regularly referenced Scripture, called for Christian virtue, and believed that faith was essential to preserving liberty? In this episode, we explore the often-forgotten Protestant heritage of America and why it matters for Christian fathers today. Not because America is perfect or worthy of worship, but because understanding the inheritance God has given us helps us teach our children with gratitude, wisdom, and truth. If you're shaping the culture of your home, this is a story worth knowing.

On today's Girls on Film we're getting conspiratorial with COVER-UP - a BAFTA-nominated documentary following the career of investigative journalist Seymour Hirsch. He was an expert at exposing government corruption and scandal in the United States, and this documentary has exclusive access to him. Co-director Laura Poitras will be giving Anna the story behind the story of this thrilling film. Laura has been three times Oscar nominated for My Country, My Country, All The Beauty and The Bloodshed, and Citizenfour—for which she won. Alongside her co-director Mark Obenhaus, she's putting another gripping story onscreen here. We talk career inspirations, the art of the expose, and how being underestimated can be a woman's secret weapon. This episode is in partnership with Netflix.

With deep bluegrass roots and a hard-edged traditional country sound, Will Jones is carving out a space where Appalachian soul meets outlaw grit.Will didn't so much learn three chords as inherit them. Raised deep in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, his music carries the raw heartbeat of Appalachian bluegrass and the fierce edge of traditional country. “I knew three chords and the truth before I even knew my ABCs,” he says, summing up his earliest years in music, when he was already on stage with a guitar in hand, immersed in the mountain spirit that shaped generations before him.Born into the family band, The Cana Ramblers, Will learned early what it meant to perform. By age six, he was singing lead, strumming guitar, and commanding the crowd as the band's natural MC. “I was always the one talking to the crowd,” he recalls. “Knowing how to entertain and hold a stage — that's what I'm still doing now. Nothing's changed.”Nothing's changed, but he's certainly refined. For Will, Appalachian bluegrass is the lifeblood that shapes both his music and his story. Now, Will's music feels equal parts front-porch picker and highway poet, which comes through clearly in his most recent songs, “Lonesome Dove,” “My Country's Showing” and “Devil's Den.” While his artistry continues to expand, he explains, “the heart of my sound remains rooted in my bluegrass beginnings.” As Will puts it, “being surrounded by bluegrass mountain music as I grew up — that's what made me, that's what raised me.” When his sisters left the band to pursue other paths, Will faced a crossroads. “I knew I was meant to play music,” he says. “I wanted to take it to a bigger stage, and my family supported and encouraged that dream.” Driven by that hunger, at 17 he stepped out on his own, carrying the Appalachian soul with him and choosing the road less traveled. Now based in Nashville,

Mortality, fragility, forgiveness, and peace. Journalist and author Stan Grant offers a genre-bending work of prayer, memory, and theology shaped by fatherhood, Aboriginal inheritance, masculinity, and mortality.“I see this as a gift from God, a creator that allows us to find each other again.”In this conversation with Evan Rosa, Grant reflects on his 2025 book, Murriyang: Song of Time—his philosophical and spiritual exploration of the human place in the world and faith as lived experience rather than abstraction. He looks closely at his father's life in order to come to terms with his own, the meaning of fatherhood and how to understand and forgive our fathers, masculinity and vulnerability, Aboriginal history and identity, masculinity and vulnerability, forgiveness and sacrifice, prayer and poetry, and the whole human experience of time and eternity.Episode Highlights“We inherit our father's cups.”“We must forgive our fathers. It is the only way that we can forgive ourselves.”“We cannot survive without each other.”“Man is not made for history. History is made for man.”“ … to confront the beauty of that mortality—my father's final gift to me is his death.”About Stan GrantStan Grant is an Australian journalist, author, and public intellectual of Wiradjuri, Kamilaroi, and Dharawal heritage. A former international correspondent and broadcaster, he has written widely on Indigenous identity, history, faith, and moral responsibility. Grant is the author of several acclaimed books, including Talking to My Country and Murriyang: Song of Time, which blends prayer, memoir, poetry, and theology. His work consistently resists abstraction in favor of embodied human experience, emphasizing forgiveness, attention, and the dignity of the human person. Grant has received national honors for journalism and cultural leadership and remains a leading voice in conversations about history, masculinity, faith, and what it means to live lives worthy of our shared humanity.Helpful Links and ResourcesMurriyang: Song of Time https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9781460763827/murriyang/Talking to My Country https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9781460752210/talking-to-my-country/Stan Grant official website https://www.stangrant.com.auShow NotesFathers and sons; inherited burden, sacrifice, and responsibility“We inherit our father's cups”Christ in Gethsemane as archetype of father-son sufferingMasculinity as physical burden, scars, toughness“We must forgive our fathers.

Nationalism, patriotism, cultural identity, a sense of home; these are concepts and ideas whose popularity have ebbed and flowed throughout history. Nationalism has been seen as a natural expression of cultural identity and pride, and it also has been at the core of virulent racism and xenophobia. Patriotism has been used as a cudgel by all sides of the political spectrum for good and evil, and a sense of home has led to cultural explosions and also to some of the bloodiest wars of all time. For Bedrich Smetana, these concepts were extremely multi-layered. He was a proud Bohemian nationalist for much of his life, but he also barely spoke Czech(German was the lingua franca among educated classes in Prague), and he was also disenchanted with the Prague musical establishment due to their cool reception of his Wagnerian/Lisztian style. He even left Prague for a time to work in Gothenburg Sweden, writing curtly to his parents: “Prague did not wish to acknowledge me, so I left it.” But only 6 years later, he wrote again to a friend: "My home has rooted itself into my heart so much that only there do I find real contentment. It is to this that I will sacrifice myself." Stirred to patriotic and nationalistic sentiments, Smetana began studying the Czech language in earnest, and his second opera, The Bartered Bride, became the first Czech opera to enter the mainstream repertoire around Europe. It was a piece fully in Czech style, and even though Smetana battled to the end of his life with different members of the Prague musical establishment, he is still thought of today as the founder of the Czech national sound. This is even before we begin talking about the topic for today, Ma Vlast, which is commonly translated to My Fatherland, My Country, or My Homeland. Ma Vlast is a massive, nearly hour and a half long work that amalgamates Wagnerian and Listzian ideas of a tone poem along with nationalistic music that has stirred not only the Czech soul but the souls of people all around the world. As Semyon Bychkov, the great Russian conductor and current Music Director of the Czech Philharmonic says: “The core subject of this piece is home and the meaning of home; everything else is the gravy.” Today on the show we'll begin by talking about Smetana's tragic experience of deafness, and then we'll go through each movement of his huge piece, talking about the msuic from the perspecitve of nationalism and also Wagnerian ideas of leitmotifs as well as orchestration and style.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 10th and final study session on Andrée Blouin's My Country, Africa: Autobiography of the Black Pasionaria. A pivotal figure in the history of counter-racism/anti-colonialism throughout the continent of Africa, Blouin is not as well known as South Africa's Madiba and Winnie Mandela, Kenya's Maus Maus and other freedom fighters who participated in combating White Terrorism in Africa. However, Blouin was of monumental importance and, consequently, a target of CIA/White Supremacy campaigns. Gus T. was ignorant about Ms. Blouin, but she was prominently featured in the new documentary, Soundtrack to a Coup d'État - which examines the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. The film makes time to quote from Blouin's autobiography about the efforts to assassinate she, her family and Lumumba. Last week, Blouin described herself as a "militant," but made time to say: "It would be unfair to say that all the whites in the Congo were detestable (Racist)" Gus noted how cliché this remark is - especially for a "militant." She then turned to say the real enemies of Africa are Africans (non-white people). She also described the extraordinary faith Patrice Lumumba placed in her - including battling on her behalf publicly. This would seem to contradict the notion of legions of sexist black males who seek to dominate females. Race Soldiers routinely branded Blouin a whore and a "communist." #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Year INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The film makes time to quote from Blouin's autobiography about the efforts to assassinate she, her family and Lumumba. Gus paused the book club while gallivanting in the Golden State, but used his time in sunshine and information-rich California to gather data on the life and work of Ms. Blouin as well. Whites at Stanford have whole files and many, many boxes of material on she and the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. During our last study session Blouin detailed how Sékou Touré dramatically impacted her thought, speech and action. He motivated her to Produce Justice and counter the rampant "tribalism" - tendency for people classified as black to squabble with other black people over trivial concerns. She also emphasized her effort to aid black females who were poorly educated and sexually abused. #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdEtat #TheCOWS15Year INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

President Joe Biden became emotional as he honored acclaimed filmmakers, singers, writers, and others who have made their mark on American culture, awarding the prestigious National Medals of Arts and National Humanities Medals to 39 recipients. Filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee, and Ken Burns and singers Missy Elliott and Queen Latifah were among 20 recipients of National Medals of Arts, while the 19 recipients of National Humanities Medals included playwright-screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and historian Jon Meacham. Three of the medals were awarded posthumously: The late singer Selena Quintanilla and artist Ruth Asawa are arts medal winners and the late chef-author Anthony Bourdain was among the humanities medal winners. “Above all, you are the masters of your craft that have made us a better America with all of you have done,” Biden said at the White House ceremony. Biden grew emotional as he recounted that Dr. Martin Luther King, as a ten-year-old boy, listened on the radio to Marian Anderson sing “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1939 after she had been denied from performing at Constitution Hall. Decades later, when King delivered his famous speech at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, Biden recounted that Anderson was there to sing again. “She sang, “He's Got the Whole World in His Hands,” Biden said. “My fellow Americans, today we honor that legacy.” Biden also told the winners that the moment was a “very consequential time in the arts and humanities in America” because “extreme forces are banning books, trying to erase history, spreading misinformation.” The arts medals are given “to individuals or groups who are deserving of special recognition by reason of their outstanding contributions to the excellence, growth, support, and availability of the arts in the United States.” Other humanities winners included former U.S. poet laureate Joy Harjo, actor-literacy advocate LeVar Burton, cartoonist Roz Chast, and philanthropists Wallis Annenberg and Darren Walker. The humanities medals honor “an individual or organization whose work has deepened the nation's understanding of the human experience, broadened citizens' engagement with history or literature, or helped preserve and expand Americans' access to cultural resources.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 7th study session on Andrée Blouin's My Country, Africa: Autobiography of the Black Pasionaria. A pivotal figure in the history of counter-racism/anti-colonialism throughout the continent of Africa, Blouin is not as well known as South Africa's Madiba and Winnie Mandela, Kenya's Maus Maus and other freedom fighters who participated in combating White Terrorism in Africa. However, Blouin was of monumental importance and, consequently, a target of CIA/White Supremacy campaigns. Gus T. was ignorant about Ms. Blouin, but she was prominently featured in the new documentary, Soundtrack to a Coup d'État - which examines the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. The film makes time to quote from Blouin's autobiography about the efforts to assassinate she, her family and Lumumba. Last week, Blouin detailed her intimate connection with her attempted mother. Despite the fact that her mom detested her counter-racist efforts - even her work to get better medical treatment for non-white children. Blouin detailed the sad history of black males abusing black females to release their frustrations about the System of White Supremacy. #FirstTimeLastTime Portions of her work also seemed to suggest that Blouin's activist work was the result of her having a White father and producing children with several White Men. She contrasted the White Male ambition with the alleged cowardice and abuse of black males. This didn't sound like her mother's former partner Joseph Mialou, a decent black male whom her mother rejected. Didn't sound like Patrice Lumumba either. #AppleEvent #FirstTimeLastTime #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Last week, Blouin detailed her traumatic concerns for the health of her second child. Her latest White male partner seemed ambivalent or unconcerned about securing medical attention. He only relented when Blouin caused a public spectacle arguing with White people who insisted medical assistance is for Whites only. The White man refused to allow her mother into his residence and made it a habit to brutalize and maim the black people who served him. Ironically, Blouin's mother castigated her for being tragically involved with a White Man. Earlier in the book, mom was pissed that Blouin rejected White suitors. #CantWin #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdEtat #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

In response, the White Woman ordered her black "boys" and her hound to attack the uppity girl. Blouin ultimately repeats the same behaviors of her mother, having sexual intercourse and producing a child with an older White Man. He absconds before the pale child with gold hair is born.

This Day in Legal History: Corporations Are “Persons” Under 14th AmendmentOn May 10, 1886, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a landmark decision in the case of Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company, fundamentally altering the legal landscape for corporations in the United States. This ruling established that corporations were to be considered "persons" under the Fourteenth Amendment and were thus entitled to equal protection rights under state law. The decision arose from a dispute involving Santa Clara County and the Southern Pacific Railroad, which contested certain tax assessments on the grounds that they were discriminatory against the corporation.The Supreme Court, without directly addressing the issue in the oral argument or written opinion, allowed the notion that corporations were persons for the purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment to stand, based on a headnote by the court reporter, which was not part of the official opinion. This headnote indicated that the Chief Justice had acknowledged corporate personhood in relation to the amendment during the proceedings. Although it did not form part of the decision, this assertion guided future interpretations of corporate rights in the U.S.As a result, the ruling provided corporations with expanded protections that had originally been intended to protect the rights of former slaves. Over time, this interpretation has been used to defend corporations in various legal battles, granting them rights comparable to those of individual citizens in many respects. This includes the right to a trial by jury, the right to protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, and the right to free speech.The implications of the Santa Clara decision have been far-reaching and controversial. Critics argue that it has led to an excessive amount of power being held by corporations, influencing political processes and public policy disproportionately. Supporters, however, see the ruling as essential for ensuring that businesses can operate on a level playing field, free from unfair government interference.The Santa Clara case remains a pivotal point in legal history, frequently cited in discussions about the balance between corporate power and public control. It opened the door to subsequent legal challenges and rulings that continue to shape the interaction between corporations, individuals, and the government in the United States. The ongoing debates surrounding corporate influence in politics and society trace back to this seminal Supreme Court decision, underscoring its significance in American legal history.The Biden administration is considering a proposal by Knowledge Ecology International (KEI) and other groups to use U.S. Code § 1498 to seize patents for the cancer drug Xtandi, manufactured by Astellas Pharma, without paying royalties. This move, aimed at reducing the drug's cost, represents a more aggressive stance toward pharmaceutical pricing, leveraging the government's legal abilities to override private patents under specific conditions. Xtandi, costing over $14,000 monthly for uninsured patients, has been a focal point in debates over drug prices. The proposal suggests that because Xtandi was developed with government grants, existing laws provide a mechanism for the government to authorize generic production without compensating the patent holder. Critics, including former US Patent and Trademark Office head Andrei Iancu, argue that this interpretation distorts patent laws and undermines the Hatch-Waxman Act, which regulates drug patent exclusivities and generic entry. Despite skepticism about the administration adopting this aggressive approach, proponents see it as a viable strategy to control drug prices and alter pharmaceutical company behaviors without the need for compensation, sparking a significant legal and ethical debate on the extent of government intervention in private industry.Cancer Drug Price-Cutting Pitch Mulled by HHS as Industry WaitsThe Biden administration and several civil rights groups, including the ACLU, have filed lawsuits against the state of Iowa to challenge a new law, S.F. 2340, which authorizes the arrest and prosecution of individuals who re-enter the U.S. after deportation. The law, signed by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, makes "illegal reentry" into Iowa a criminal offense punishable by up to two years in prison and permits state judges to order deported individuals to return to their home countries. Both the federal government and civil rights organizations argue that this state law unlawfully conflicts with federal immigration law and its established procedures for handling illegal entries and deportations. This Iowa law also fails to exempt individuals with legal status in the U.S., such as asylum seekers and visa holders. This move by Iowa reflects a broader trend among Republican-led states, influenced by similar laws in Texas and recently Oklahoma, aiming to enforce immigration laws due to perceived inaction by the federal government on illegal border crossings. A U.S. appeals court recently blocked a similar law in Texas, citing its inconsistency with federal jurisdiction over immigration matters.Biden administration, civil groups sue Iowa over immigrant arrest law | ReutersElon Musk may be required to provide additional testimony in the SEC's investigation into his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter. During a court hearing in San Francisco, U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley considered the SEC's request to compel Musk to testify, following another judge's earlier ruling in favor of the agency. The SEC is investigating whether Musk violated federal securities laws during his 2022 purchase of Twitter, now renamed X, particularly concerning his stock purchases and related public statements and filings. Musk had previously participated in the investigation via two videoconference sessions and had provided documents. His legal representation argued that further testimony would impose an undue burden on him, given his responsibilities to multiple companies. The judge questioned the argument that Musk's busy schedule should exempt him from compliance with securities laws. This legal battle is part of an ongoing feud between Musk and the SEC that dates back to a 2018 incident where Musk tweeted about having funding secured to take Tesla private.Elon Musk may be compelled to testify again in SEC's Twitter takeover probe | ReutersThe American Bar Association (ABA) is considering endorsing alternative pathways to lawyer licensing that do not involve passing the traditional bar exam, signaling a significant shift from its longstanding pro-exam stance. This reconsideration is spurred by a task force formed to evaluate the ABA's existing policies, which since 1921 have primarily supported the bar exam as a requisite for legal practice. The draft policy, set for discussion on May 17, encourages states to develop diverse licensing methods. This change comes in response to actions by states like Oregon and Washington, which have already implemented alternatives such as apprenticeships and skills coursework to bypass the bar exam. The ABA's move aligns with efforts to address racial and socioeconomic disparities in bar exam pass rates, which show significantly lower success rates among minority test takers. The National Conference of Bar Examiners acknowledges the ABA's new direction as it prepares to launch a revised bar exam in 2026, highlighting the ongoing evolution in standards for entering the legal profession.Bar exam alternatives, long out of favor with ABA, make inroads | ReutersThe U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is set to finalize two significant rules aimed at enhancing the planning and funding mechanisms for long-distance electric transmission lines. These rules are designed to facilitate the development of a more robust national power grid and address the increasing demand driven by renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. The first rule mandates regional grid planners to develop at least 20-year plans that consider a broad range of benefits, updating the less effective 2011 guidelines. The second rule potentially allows FERC to issue permits for transmission lines even if they are denied by states, focusing on national interest corridors identified by the Department of Energy.The proposed rules have sparked concerns regarding the traditional role of state regulators in siting and permitting transmission lines and the potential sidelining of competitive bidding processes, which some argue could increase costs and project delays. However, proponents argue that the new rules will facilitate much-needed investment in the transmission infrastructure necessary to meet future energy demands and reduce longstanding disparities in regional transmission capabilities. The discussion is also heavily centered around equitable cost allocation, aiming to distribute costs in alignment with the derived benefits, a topic that has historically been contentious and frequently litigated. These regulatory changes are occurring amidst broader administrative efforts to modernize and expand the U.S. electric grid to support a clean energy future.Transmission Rules to Back Planning of Long-Range Power LinesThis week's closing theme is by Bedřich Smetana.Bedřich Smetana, a towering figure in Czech music, stands as one of the pioneering composers of the 19th century, especially noted for his development of a distinctly Czech musical style. Born on March 2, 1824, in Litomyšl, now part of the Czech Republic, Smetana was a child prodigy in both violin and piano. He grew up immersed in a rich cultural atmosphere that fueled his passion for music, leading him to compose from an early age.His early career was marked by the struggle for recognition, balancing a desire to compose with the need to earn a living as a teacher and conductor. Despite these challenges, Smetana's nationalist spirit found expression in his music, which often incorporated Czech folk themes and stories. By the 1860s, he had established himself as a central figure in Prague's musical life, becoming the principal conductor of the Provisional Theatre, where he championed the cause of Czech music.Smetana's personal life, however, was fraught with tragedy. He suffered the loss of his beloved wife and some of his daughters, and later, he was struck with deafness. Yet, these personal hardships only deepened the emotional depth of his compositions. One of his most famous works, "Má vlast" ("My Country"), is a cycle of six symphonic poems that celebrates the Czech landscape, history, and legends.Among these poems, "Vltava" (known in German as "Die Moldau") is perhaps the most internationally celebrated. It beautifully captures the course of the Vltava River as it flows through the Bohemian countryside, underlining Smetana's mastery of orchestral color and melodic contour. This piece serves as a vivid sonic portrait of the Czech landscape, intertwining folk music with the river's thematic journey through the countryside.Today, as we conclude our week, we turn to this poignant piece from Bedřich Smetana's "Má vlast." Without further ado, "Vltava," or "The Moldau," from Bedřich Smetana's symphonic poems "Má vlast" or "My Country."

And it seemed like an unfair way to frame it. It didn't quite seem right. … Sometimes there's no dead body, or sometimes there's 6,000, but the function is the same: that the people you speak to have gone through enormous painful trauma, and then there's a way to cover it that minimizes that trauma.

In most of the world, “salvage” is a hopeful word, writes journalist Patricia Evangelista. But in Philippine English, to salvage is also to execute a suspected criminal without trial. The salvages of suspected drug users and dealers encouraged by former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte are the subject of Evangelista's new book “Some People Need Killing,” which draws its title from the words of a vigilante she interviewed. According to human rights organizations, more than 30,000 people were extrajudicially executed in the Philippines for alleged narcotics offenses by the time Duterte left office in 2022. Evangelista interviewed the families of victims, and we talk to her about the impact Duterte's terrifying war on drugs had on them and on the country. Guest: Patricia Evangelista, journalist; author, “Some People Need Killing: A Memoir of Murder in My Country”

As president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte ordered extrajudicial killings as part of his war on drugs. Patricia Evangelista is a trauma journalist and former investigative reporter for the Philippine news company Rappler. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the killings, carried out by police and vigilantes, and the people whose lives were shaped by fear in a lawless time. Her book is “Some People Need Killing: A Memoir of Murder in My Country.”
