Profesorka istorije na Filozofskom fakultetu u Beogradu Radina Vučetić i teoretičarka medija i profesorka na FDU Ana Martinoli razgovarali su u novoj epizodi Radar Foruma o tome kroz kakvu prizmu javnost u Srbiji ima prilike da sagledava studentske proteste i blokade. Kao tri najvažnije medijske tačke imenovale su Savet REM-a, studente u blokadi na mrežama i - Nemanju Šarovića. „Šarović očigledno dobro razume moć medijskih alata i kanala koji za početak komuniciraju da su van korporacijskog, kontrolisanog toka. S druge strane, razume populistički jezik. S treće, razume i vrednosti koje su duboko ugrađene u temelje ovog društva, a koje su se zacementirale u poslednje tri i po decenije. Dok ismeva površnost, nerazumevanje situacije, spremnost ljudi da se potčine trenutnom interesu, vrlo vešto televiziju KTV predstavlja kao jedinu slobodnu televiziju u Srbiji“, zaključila je Martinoli. Na pitanje Vučetić o komunikacijskim inovacijama koje su blokade donele, Martinoli je odgovorila da je najveće novine moguće zapaziti na kanalima studenata u blokadi. „Posebno mi je bilo zanimljivo što umetnički upečatljivo i vredno zaokruživali aktuelne teme, ali i pružali kritički osvrt na neke događaje, pa mi se dešavalo da mi ljudi iz oblasti pravosuđa i ekonomije kažu da su studenti vrlo dobro prenosili vrlo stručne stvari“, kaže rekla je profesorka FDU.
Profesorka istorije na Filozofskom fakultetu u Beogradu Radina Vučetić i aktivista, pravnik i istoričar Dragan Popović (Centar za praktičnu politiku) razgovarali su u novoj epizodi Radar Foruma o kulturi sećanja, ratovima sećanja i mobilnim blokadama koje predstavljaju novu fazu u studentskoj borbi, ali i prostor za pojačanu represiju države i njenih pridruženih elemenata. „Studenti su uspeli u tome da zastava Srbije zasluži da mladi Bošnjak, prvi put otkad ja pamtim, kaže: ovo je moja zemlja i ovo je moja zastava. Do sad je to bilo nezamislivo. Uspeli su da urade dovoljno da nađu zajednički jezik i upute zajedničku, a zapravo univerzalnu poruku – tražimo pravdu i slobodu“, zaključio je Popović. Na pitanje o položaju žene u crkvi, za koje se često može čuti da je podređen – recimo, žene mogu biti svetice, ali ne i sveštenice –, vladika Grigorije je rekao da odgovora bezbroj, ali da nijedan neće biti dostatan. Na profesorkino pitanje o desničarskim tonovima na Vidovdanskom protestu, Popović je odgovorio podsećanjem da su studenti određene narative nasledili, a među njima je i ono o Kosovu i Vidovdanu. „Studenti su narativ o Vidovdanu i Kosovu dobili na gotovo, kao nešto što je stvar društvenog konsenzusa. Kosovo je Srbija, i tačka, a taj narativ smo im ga mi ostavili, i nisam siguran da referisanje na njega podrazumeva pripadanje nacionalističkoj ideologiji. Vučić je za njih problem i zbog pada nadstrešnice i zbog ‚izdaje Kosova‘, dakle, fokus je na problematičnim vlastima u Srbiji“, kaže Popović. Više na www.radar.rs
In this episode, Jerome Deroy and Julienne Ryan sit down with Evante Daniels—founder of Seeqer and originator of “cultural physics,” a groundbreaking framework for understanding how shared beliefs and narratives shape organizations. Evante works with schools, governments, and businesses to assess and strengthen what he calls “cultural resilience”—an organization's ability to withstand and adapt to shifting cultural forces.From his earliest soundboard gig at a 6,500-person Black church in Atlanta to mapping cultural “levees” that can either guide or erode business performance, Evante weaves together metaphor, measurement, and meaning. His story is a masterclass in combining systems thinking with deep human insight.You'll hear:What cultural physics is—and how it helps leaders understand what's really happening beneath the surfaceWhy culture is like a river, and organizations are like leveesThe hidden costs of neglecting culture until a crisis hitsWhat it takes to build culturally resilient organizations in a world of constant changeWhy succession planning is a cultural issue, not just a leadership oneHow storytelling engages the nervous system before the brain—and why that matters for communicationWhether you're navigating generational divides, trying to align teams, or leading cultural transformation, this episode will give you a powerful new lens on how stories, structures, and systems interact.
In this debrief episode, hosts Julienne Ryan and Jerome Deroy reflect on their compelling conversation with Dr. Neal Baer—renowned TV producer, medical doctor, and storytelling educator—focusing on one powerful idea: “Data. Emotion. Action.”Using this quote as a springboard, they explore how storytelling transforms dry statistics into narratives that resonate—and ultimately drive change. From justice reform to on-the-ground fundraising, they share personal stories where this triad has shown up in powerful ways.You'll Hear:Storytelling with Purpose – How the “Data. Emotion. Action.” framework helps tailor stories to specific audiences, from policymakers to healthcare providers.The Power of Voice in the Justice System – How Measures for Justice turns numbers into stories that humanize criminal justice reform—and catalyze systemic change.A Cocktail-Hour Pivot – Why a last-minute decision to share a story at a fundraiser turned a routine speech into a moment of connection and transformation.From ER to Harvard – How Dr. Baer's eclectic journey from medicine to TV to academia exemplifies the power of building with a “Yes, and” mindset.Why Lived Experience Matters – A reminder that your personal story, when shared with intention, can make a tangible difference in how others see the world.Key Takeaways:✅ Data Alone Isn't Enough – Real change happens when stories infuse data with meaning and human connection.✅ Audience Clarity is Key – A story that moves a policymaker may differ from one that moves a patient or donor—know who you're talking to.✅ Build With “Yes, And” – Embrace non-linear journeys. Seemingly unrelated experiences often fuel the most powerful leadership stories.✅ Tell the Story—Even When Advised Not To – Sometimes the most impactful moments come when we trust our instincts and share something real.✅ Stories Spark Action – When stories are rooted in data and delivered with emotion, they don't just inform—they inspire and mobilize.

In this debrief episode, Jerome Deroy and Julienne Ryan revisit a powerful moment from Episode 142 with Gary Danoff:“I've been laid off a number of times, and I used to have great shame about that. And now I have great pride and appreciation and acceptance of what it has taught me… Wealth can be measured in a lot of different ways… partly financial, and partly in wisdom and figuring things out.”Inspired by Gary's candor, Jerome and Julienne explore the transformative power of reframing difficult experiences—especially layoffs—as catalysts for personal and professional growth.

What if the secret to stronger workplace connections and higher engagement could be found in your mailbox?In this episode, Jerome and Julienne sit down with Amy Daughters—keynote speaker, author, and advocate of handwritten letters—as she shares the incredible journey that started with writing notes to a grieving acquaintance and led to a profound reconnection with over 600 Facebook friends.Amy tells a moving story about her father's unconventional summer camp rituals that taught her the power of being seen. That same power, she's discovered, lives in the simple act of a handwritten note. From three-sentence messages that employees keep for decades, to short acknowledgments that create champions out of coworkers and customers, Amy demonstrates how analog tools can solve digital-age problems—especially when it comes to leadership and employee engagement.Key Takeaways:Why handwriting someone a note may engage them more than any digital messageHow recognition—when made tangible—turns people into champions for your missionThe impact of vulnerability and authenticity in leadership communicationHow a handwritten culture can counteract disengagement and build lasting trustLinks to learn more and connect with Amy Daughters: Facebook LinkedInInstagramX - WebsiteNarativ's online course in partnership with New Mexico State University Global Campus:Lead With Your Story (self-paced, on-demand course)Podcast listeners get 25% off - Use code NARATIV → Register Here Learn more about how to leverage Narativ's storytelling method for your pitch and sales team: Download our free e-book, or you're welcome to schedule a free 15-minute call with Jerome.

Iulian Popa a publicat recent volumul de povestiri „Vizite neanunțate” (Editura Humanitas). Într-adevăr, cartea stă sub semnul vizitelor neanunțate, care marchează într-un fel sau altul viețile personajelor. Vieți aparent banale, în care la un moment dat se întîmplă ceva care le schimbă temperatura. Personajele nu sînt supereroi, ci oameni obișnuiți însă, în fiecare povestire, încă de la primele rînduri, în poveștile lor de viață se strecoară o tensiune, o așteptare, iminența unui eveniment. Nimic nu e în plus în aceste povestiri, și în același timp, autorul știe ce să lase nespus, ca cititorul să-și imagineze, să ducă povestea mai departe, dacă vrea. Am vorbit cu Iulian Popa despre noua sa carte, despre personaje, despre construcția tensiunii narative, despre economia stilistică și arta de a sugera, despre diferențele dintre proza scurtă și roman.Iulian Popa: „Imediat după ce am terminat prima carte de povestiri, Guadalajara, m-am apucat să dezvolt niște idei, niște schițe pe care le aveam de dinainte, notate în caiet. Și așa au ieșit, într-un stadiu incipient, vreo două, trei povestiri, care, întîmplător, aveau o vizită în ele. Mi-a plăcut cum sună și mi-am propus: ce-ar fi dac-aș scrie un volum întreg în care vizita să fie prezentă într-o formă sau alta. Fie că e vorba de o vizită la o persoană, fie că e vorba de vizitarea unui loc. Și am construit aceste povestiri ale unor vieți normale perturbate de ceva. Structura la care m-am gîndit a fost: pun această linie continuă a rutinei personajelor și, la un moment dat, un eveniment perturbator intră în scenă, le întrerupe viețile, uneori destul de brutal și de aici vedem ce se întîmplă.”Iulian Popa are un doctorat în fizică la Universitatea Stuttgart. A debutat cu volumul de povestiri „Guadalajara”, urmat de romanul „Între vii” - ambele au apărut la Humanitas.

In this debrief episode, Jerome and Julienne reflect on their conversation with Taylor Scott, author of Lead With Hospitality and the upcoming Give Hospitality. They dive deeper into a powerful quote from Taylor:“We love our favorite hospitality brands and destinations... nine times out of ten, it's because of how they make us feel... That's what I believe can transform mere jobs into truly meaningful work—when we as leaders can create environments where people feel the things they need to feel, so they spark and jump into action.”Drawing on their own stories, they explore what it really takes to foster that kind of workplace. Jerome recalls a surprising moment of mentorship during his early career in finance, while Julienne emphasizes the enduring power of respect and acknowledgement in professional environments. They highlight how small human gestures can make a big impact—and how sharing lived stories within an organization helps bring core values to life.Key TakeawaysMeaningful work is often created not by the task itself, but by how people are made to feel in the workplace.Leaders can turn values like “respect” into tangible experiences through small acts of appreciation and support.Storytelling helps surface and scale meaningful moments across teams, breaking silos and rebuilding connection.You don't need to overhaul your culture overnight—start with one value, one story, one human connection.Related Episodes and ResourcesEpisode 140: Leading with Hospitality – Interview with Taylor ScottLead With Hospitality by Taylor ScottNarativ's online course in partnership with New Mexico State University Global Campus:Lead With Your Story (self-paced, on-demand course)Podcast listeners get 25% off - Use code NARATIV → Register Here Learn more about how to leverage Narativ's storytelling method for your pitch and sales team: Download our free e-book, or you're welcome to schedule a free 15-minute call with Jerome.

In this powerful conversation, Jerome and Julienne speak with Dr. Neal Baer—award-winning television showrunner, physician, and educator—whose career has spanned medical dramas like ER and Law & Order: SVU to pioneering a graduate program at Harvard that fuses storytelling and health. Dr. Baer reflects on how his personal journey—particularly coming out later in life—has shaped the narratives he brings to the screen and the classroom.He shares stories about shaping public perceptions of HIV through characters on ER, introducing groundbreaking health messaging like U=U on Designated Survivor, and mentoring students who are transforming public health through narrative, art, and data.Key TakeawaysLeaders and storytellers can create change by pairing emotion with data and action.Personal stories and cultural context help bridge gaps in healthcare access and understanding.Great storytelling often emerges from personal struggle, risk, and lived experience.Storytelling is not just educational or entertaining—it's how we know we matterBooks by Neal Baer:The Promise and Peril of CRISPR – Buy on AmazonHealth & Storytelling Resources:Harvard Medical School's Master's Program in Media, Medicine, and HealthReferenced Work and Contributors:Under the Skin by Linda VillarosaNew York Times Magazine article by Villarosa on HIV in the U.S. SouthWildhood by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn BowersStuds Terkel – WorkingDoris Sommer – Professor at Harvard on narrative and social changeLearn More About Dr. Neal BaerHarvard Faculty Profile:ghsm.hms.harvard.edu/faculty-staff/neal-baerIn-Depth Interview:ghsm.hms.harvard.edu/interview-neal-baerConnect with Dr. Baer:LinkedInInstagramNarativ's online course in partnership with New Mexico State University Global Campus:Lead With Your Story (self-paced, on-demand course)Podcast listeners get 25% off - Use code NARATIV → Register Here Learn more about how to leverage Narativ's storytelling method for your pitch and sales team: Download our free e-book, or you're welcome to schedule a free 15-minute call with Jerome.

In this debrief episode, Jerome and Julienne reflect on a powerful insight from Anil Singhal about embracing inevitable disruption and using company values as a steadfast guide through change. The discussion opens with a personal question: When were you faced with disruption, and how did you respond?Julienne recalls witnessing corporate downsizing and restructuring—scenarios where clear communication and values-based leadership made all the difference. When leaders communicated transparently and demonstrated alignment with core values, they retained trust—and talent.Jerome shares a deeply personal story of disruption: the birth of his daughter during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unable to be present post-surgery due to hospital protocols, he found ways to take meaningful action from afar. This moment highlights how disruption often brings a feeling of helplessness, but even small, value-driven actions can have real impact.Together, they underscore the importance of not retreating during times of crisis, but instead leaning into core values, communicating openly, and finding productive paths forward—even in uncertainty. Key TakeawaysAccelerate, Don't Resist: When disruption is inevitable, facing it head-on and controlling the timeline can mitigate damage and build resilience.Double Down on Values: Values shouldn't fluctuate with circumstances. In fact, they become even more critical during times of upheaval.Transparent Communication Builds Trust: During organizational change, people need clarity. Silence and secrecy lead to fear, confusion, and loss of talent.Find Your Sphere of Influence: Even if you can't change the circumstances, meaningful actions within your control matter—for leaders and individuals alike.ResourcesLISTEN to the interview with Anil Singhal HEREAnil's BOOK ~ The 5% Rule of Leadership: Using Lean Decision-Making to Drive Trust, Ownership, and Team ProductivityParticipate in Narativ's Online Course: Lead With Your StoryLearn how to craft and communicate your leadership story.Self-paced, 100% online.Use code NARATIV for 25% off → Register Here Learn more about how to leverage Narativ's storytelling method for your pitch and sales team: Download our free e-book, or you're welcome to schedule a free 15-minute call with Jerome.

In this debrief episode, Julienne and Jerome reflect on the thought-provoking conversation from Episode 133 with Carlo Odicino, who challenges the commonly accepted notion of "work-life balance." Carlo rejects the idea that work should be viewed as separate from life, arguing instead that we should strive for balance in life itself, integrating both work and non-work activities. Jerome and Julienne discuss the implications of this perspective, particularly for individuals working in purpose-driven industries like life sciences.Key Takeaways:Purpose and Passion in Work: Carlo's point about the connection between passion for one's work and the risk of burnout resonates, especially in fields like life sciences, where people are often deeply driven by a personal connection to their mission. Even in purpose-driven careers, the boundaries between work and personal life can blur, leading to challenges in maintaining balance.Life Balance, Not Work-Life Balance: The idea of life balance emphasizes that all aspects of life—work, family, health, and leisure—are interconnected. Finding a balance between these elements is essential, but it requires conscious effort and self-awareness.Burnout in Purpose-Driven Careers: Even in industries where people are passionate and driven by a sense of mission, burnout is a real concern. Jerome shares insights from a recent collaboration with a pharmaceutical company where storytelling was used as a strategy to combat burnout and foster a sense of appreciation among employees.Celebrating Achievements and Pausing: One approach to addressing burnout is taking intentional pauses to celebrate achievements, both big and small. Recognizing and appreciating the hard work of employees can go a long way in reducing stress and creating a more sustainable work culture.Using Stories to Foster Engagement: Sharing personal stories within an organization can help employees feel valued and connected to the larger mission. Storytelling, as seen in the example of the pharmaceutical company, creates a sense of belonging and reinforces the organization's values.Reflection Prompts:How do you currently manage the balance between your work and personal life?What boundaries (or lack thereof) do you see in your own life between work, rest, and other responsibilities?How can you create more space for celebration and pauses in your work culture to prevent burnout?Call to Action: Get 25% off our self-paced online course Lead With Your Story, created in partnership with NMSU Global CampusUse the code NARATIV at checkout.

Z The revelation of the codename, which translates to “Red,” corroborates what former KGB officer Yuri Shvets first disclosed on Narativ in January 2021 about Trump's 40-year tenure as a KGB asset. Alnur Mussayev, a former KGB officer based in Moscow, revealed the codename “Krasnov.” "Krasnov" (Краснов) is a relatively common Russian surname. The root "krasn" (красн-) comes from the Russian word "красный" (krasny) meaning "red." The surname Krasnov historically could have referred to someone with red hair. If true, Mussayev's revelations corroborate what Yuri Shvets first revealed on Narativ in January 2021. Shvets, a former chief at the KGB residency in Washington, DC, went on the record to confirm that Donald Trump was a valuable asset to Russian intelligence. The detailed claim is laid bare in Craig Unger's book, American Kompromat. Shvets and Unger joined Lincoln's Bible and Zev Shalev on Narativ. Learn more about your ad choices.

Z As 25 major cryptocurrency figures gather at the White House tomorrow for a summit on establishing an American crypto reserve, our Narativ investigation has uncovered a deeply troubling pattern: three coordinated "pump and dump" operations that have transferred billions from ordinary Americans to a select few insiders with direct ties to Donald Trump. The December 5th Diversion The first operation occurred on December 5th while the nation was distracted by the assassination of the UnitedHealth CEO. In this carefully orchestrated sequence, Trump appointed David Sacks as "Crypto Czar" and Paul Atkins as SEC Chair – both staunch crypto advocates. Bitcoin surged from $70,000 to $108,000 before dropping to $85,000, generating an estimated $700 million windfall for Elon Musk's companies Tesla and SpaceX, which hold substantial Bitcoin on their balance sheets. As economist Peter Schiff noted in our exclusive interview, "If they were doing this with securities, they'd be in jail. But because these things are not securities, they just say they're collectibles. The pump and dump and insider trading or stock manipulation, none of that applies." The Meme Coin Massacre The second operation centered on the Trump and Melania meme coins launched just before the inauguration. Our investigation revealed that a mere 31 traders collected $675 million in profits while more than 800,000 investors lost a collective $2 billion – a staggering winner-to-loser ratio of 1:25,806. Meanwhile, the Trump family reportedly pocketed approximately $100 million in trading fees alone. The pattern is unmistakable: a 12-hour gap between the contract creation and public announcement provided insiders ample time to accumulate tokens at pennies on the dollar before the coordinated public push drove prices up nearly 40,000%. The Strategic Reserve Ruse The third operation unfolded just last Sunday when Trump announced on Truth Social that "a U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve will elevate this critical industry" and specifically mentioned three cryptocurrencies: XRP, SOL, and ADA. As Schiff observed, "Donald Trump did not write that. I would bet almost anything that he had nothing to do with writing that post. There's no way that Donald Trump knows that ADA is the symbol for Cardano." The post – suspicious in both its timing and content – triggered immediate price spikes in the mentioned cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin shot up to $95,000 before quickly falling as investors realized the announcement was merely promotion for the upcoming summit rather than concrete policy. "They timed that, they shot the price up, and then they started selling," Schiff explained. "I bet they made hundreds of millions. These three coins were up 30, 40, 50% initially. Of course, it was a rug pull." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Z A day that may reshape the global order began with a series of coordinated moves that culminated in Donald Trump's 90-minute call with Vladimir Putin. Here's what unfolded, and why it matters. The Timeline At 11:00 AM ET, Tulsi Gabbard, known for her Kremlin ties, was appointed Director of National Intelligence. At noon, America executed a prisoner swap, releasing Alexander Vinnick - a key architect of Russia's 2016 interference campaign - in exchange for former teacher Mark Fogel. Twenty-six minutes later, Trump and Putin began their first call of Trump's second term. The Putin Call The 90-minute conversation revealed a dramatic shift in America's position. Trump and Putin discussed what they called a "peace plan" for Ukraine - notably without Ukraine's President Zelenskyy present. The call covered Middle East peace and artificial intelligence, treating Russia as an ally rather than an adversary. It ended with mutual invitations: Trump to Moscow, Putin to Washington. The Crypto Scheme Exposed While diplomatic drama unfolded, new details emerged about Trump's meme coin launch. Analysis reveals: Over 800,000 investors lost a combined $2 billion Just 31 early trading wallets collected $680 million in profits The Trump family netted $102 million in trading fees alone Early traders bought at $0.23, saw the price surge to $75.60 The timing is crucial: these tokens were launched just before Trump took office. The pattern mirrors classic pump-and-dump operations that regulators have long warned about. The Bigger Picture Today's events represent more than isolated incidents. They reveal a systematic dismantling of American institutions and safeguards: Disbanding of the KleptoCapture Task Force that seized Russian oligarch assets Elimination of Foreign Interference Task Force Shutdown of election interference monitoring units Attacks on key intelligence agencies The combination of diplomatic realignment and financial manipulation points to a broader strategy. As one wallet linked to the crypto scheme made $111 million in just two days, questions arise about who really profited from these coordinated moves. What's Next? The implications of today's events will reverberate far beyond Washington. With cryptocurrency potentially becoming a cornerstone of future Treasury operations and America's traditional alliances in flux, the stakes couldn't be higher. Learn more about your ad choices.

Z Narativ's Canada edition explores how everything from politics to sports is shifting in response to Trump - and discovers a 75% increase in Americans moving to Canada.The biggest story in North American relations isn't happening at diplomatic summits or trade negotiations. It's playing out in immigration offices, polling stations, and yes – even on the ice. As Trump steers America away from its traditional NATO allies and toward Russia and China, Canada faces an unprecedented realignment. Our investigation reveals three key shifts: First, the numbers. Since Trump's November victory, Canadian immigration sites saw an eight-fold surge in U.S. traffic. But unlike the empty threats that followed his 2016 win, immigration lawyers report serious inquiries from tech workers, healthcare professionals, and LGBTQ+ families. The data backs this up: there's been a 75% increase in permanent residency invitations to U.S. residents. The Narativ with Zev Shalev is a viewer supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber By joining our list below. Second, Canadian politics is transforming. Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney has emerged as a frontrunner for Liberal leadership, polling just three points behind the Conservatives. He's positioning himself as Canada's shield against Trump's America, and it's working – pulling 42% of previous NDP voters. Finally, there's the symbolism. Tomorrow's US-Canada hockey championship isn't just another game. With ticket prices rivaling the Super Bowl and three fights in the first nine seconds of their last match, it's become a proxy for deeper tensions. The implications are serious. As America shifts toward Russia and China, Canada faces critical choices about trade, security, and its role in the Western alliance. Trump's pivot isn't just redrawing diplomatic maps – it's reshaping North American society from the ground up. Our full investigation airs tonight on Narativ. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dean Blundell and Zev Shalev delve into the intricate backstory that spans apartheid South Africa, the dawn of AI, and 'technocracy.' Air Force One landed in darkness. The inauguration was hastily moved indoors. Something very different was happening - this was an inauguration taking place in the eye of a storm. Hours earlier, President Biden delivered his final address from the Oval Office, speaking of the Statue of Liberty's ability to withstand fierce storms. "She sways a few inches," he warned, "but she never falls into the current below." As he spoke of an emerging oligarchy threatening democracy, few knew that a different kind of storm - codenamed "Salt Typhoon" - had already reshaped America's power structure. Behind the official explanations of weather and crowd size, a months-long Narativ investigation reveals a hidden realignment of global power. Our reporting traces a transformation that began in the uranium mines of apartheid South Africa and leads directly to America's AI future. At its center are four men who emerged from apartheid's collapse to reshape Silicon Valley: Peter Thiel, Roelof Botha, David Sacks, and Elon Musk. Their rise parallels China's growing influence in American technology and politics, culminating in this week's unprecedented scenes: tech billionaires lined up in the front row of Trump's indoor inauguration, TikTok's CEO prominently placed, and failed negotiations with Putin suggesting a new global alignment. The story begins with Pik Botha, South Africa's former foreign minister and grandfather of Silicon Valley kingmaker Roelof Botha. As minister of mineral and energy affairs, he oversaw the uranium program that connected Peter Thiel's father to South Africa's nuclear ambitions. Their vision of technocratic rule - where technical experts and engineers would govern society - didn't die with apartheid. It evolved. By the time PayPal emerged in the late 1990s, these four men had positioned themselves at the intersection of technology and power. Documents reveal PayPal's original mission wasn't American at all - it was designed as a payment processor for Chinese companies, the first step in a decades-long partnership that would reshape global power. Today, as Biden's warning about oligarchy echoes through empty halls, we see their technocratic vision coming full circle. From Trump's $500 billion AI initiative to China's new role as America's strategic partner, a transformation decades in the making has reached its culmination. The question now: can democracy bend without breaking? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

European leaders are bracing for unprecedented confrontation with the US over Greenland, the Arctic, election interference, and social media moderation. onald Trump Jr.'s surprise appearance in Greenland's capital, Nuuk, this week has sparked fresh concerns over the former president's territorial ambitions. Trump refuses to rule out military action to gain control of Greenland, prompting baffled reactions from EU leaders, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has doubled down on his support for Germany's AfD party. He plans to interview far-right leaders that European officials warn could violate the EU's Digital Services Act. Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has now openly aligned with Trump, declaring, "We're going to work with President Trump to push back on governments worldwide that are going after American companies." The EU isn't standing idle. Senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis Bill Echikson reveals that European regulators are actively investigating the X platform for potential violations. However, he warns traditional fines may prove ineffective: "Tech companies have never been scared about the large fines they're forced to pay. That's just the price of doing business." Behind these tensions lies a crucial reality: climate change is transforming Arctic trade routes, making Greenland increasingly strategic. With Russia eyeing Alaska and America's Arctic Council influence limited Trump's territorial focus takes on new significance.

Our latest analysis projects Kamala Harris as the probable winner of the 2024 election, with a likely path to 292 electoral votes. Election expert Carl Allen's independent forecast supports this projection, rating Harris as the more likely winner. His models even show a possible more decisive outcome, in which Democrats could sweep all swing states. Probable Path to Victory: The most likely scenario shows Harris securing traditional blue-wall states (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania) while adding North Carolina, creating multiple viable paths to victory even if she loses one blue-wall state. This probable path puts Harris at 292 electoral votes compared to Trums's forecast, showing potential for an even stronger Democratic performance. Michigan Michigan appears the most volatile of the blue wall states, with both campaigns wrestling over significant voter shifts. Despite Republicans registering more new voters than expected and potential losses of 50,000-150,000 traditionally Democratic voters over Gaza, Allen's polling average still shows Harris maintaining a likely lead at 48.5% to Trump's 48%. The GOP's strategic pivot to early voting could prove decisive. While they celebrate narrower Democratic early voting margins, Allen warns they may be "cannibalizing" their crucial Election Day turnout. Wisconsin In Allen's analysis, Wisconsin emerges as the most vulnerable blue-wall state, with a lower concentration of urban Democratic voters than Pennsylvania and Michigan. While Harris currently leads in Wisconsin, Allen rates it as the most likely blue-wall state to flip red—a scenario that would cost Democrats 10 electoral votes but likely wouldn't be fatal to Harris's chances if she secures other swing states. North CarolinaNorth Carolina has become the Democrats' probable safety net, consistently showing Harris at 49% to Trump's 47% across multiple polls. The state's shifting media landscape and the toxic effect of Republican gubernatorial candidate Robinson's scandals have created likely Democratic strength. Trump's hasty addition of an unplanned North Carolina rally signals Republican anxiety about a state that could provide Harris with probable electoral insurance if any blue wall state falters. Likely GOP Vulnerability Republicans' strategic shift to early voting will probably backfire by reducing their traditional Election Day advantage. With 19 million votes already cast and Democrats building strong early voting margins, the GOP faces a changed electoral landscape that likely complicates their path to victory. Despite prediction markets favoring Trump, Allen sees no data supporting him as even a probable favorite, suggesting market manipulation may be at play. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the latest episode of Narativ, host Zev Shalev and guest Dean Blundell deliver a chilling wake-up call to Canadians about the dire state of their democracy. The conversation paints a disturbing picture of a nation teetering on the edge of autocracy, with foreign interference and media corruption threatening to unravel the very fabric of Canadian society. Blundell doesn't mince words as he exposes the rot at the core of Canada's media landscape. He reveals how outlets like Rebel News operate as little more than paid advocacy groups, pushing propaganda that aligns with Russian interests and far-right ideologies. The recent Supreme Court ruling confirming Rebel News produces less than 1% of actual news content is just the tip of the iceberg. But the threat goes beyond biased media. The episode uncovers the alarming influence of foreign actors, particularly Russia, in Canadian politics. From co-opting influential individuals to running sophisticated disinformation campaigns, these efforts aim to polarize public opinion and undermine trust in democratic institutions. Even more shocking is the revelation that Canadian taxpayer money has been used to fund Russian propaganda films. The urgency of the situation becomes clear as Shalev and Blundell discuss the upcoming election. They warn that Canadians face a stark choice between character and corruption, with the very soul of the nation hanging in the balance. The potential for a Pierre Poilievre-led government, coupled with the possibility of a Trump presidency in the US, paints a grim picture for North American democracy. Time is running out for Canadians to wake up to these threats. This episode of Narativ serves as a crucial call to action, urging citizens to engage critically with the information they consume and to fight for the preservation of their democratic values. The future of Canada hangs in the balance, and every voice matters in this battle against creeping authoritarianism.

In a groundbreaking exposé, Narativ's special Canada edition, hosted by Zev Shalev with guest Dean Blundell, unveiled disturbing parallels between the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and emerging threats to Canadian democracy Poilievre: The Face of Maple MAGA Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, has emerged as the standard-bearer for what some are calling "Maple MAGA" - a Canadian iteration of the populist movement seen in the United States. With his party leading in the polls, Poilievre stands on the brink of potentially becoming Canada's next Prime Minister. This prospect raises alarming questions about the future of Canadian democracy. As Zev Shalev noted, "Poilievre's rise mirrors the playbook we've seen in other democracies that have slid towards authoritarianism. The parallels with figures like Viktor Orbán in Hungary are hard to ignore." The CBC: Autocrat Target While the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is in a very precarious position if an authoritarian-leaning government takes power. "History shows us that public broadcasters often become prime targets for leaders seeking to control the narrative," Dean Blundell emphasized. "If Poilievre wins, the CBC could face a fate similar to public media in Hungary or Poland." Security Clearance Controversy Adding to concerns, Poilievre has refused to submit to a top-secret security clearance check - an unprecedented move for a potential prime minister. This stance becomes even more critical as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party has lost its crucial partnership with the New Democratic Party (NDP), putting the current government in a precarious position. Recent polls showing Poilievre's Conservatives with a significant lead amplify worries about a potential leadership change without proper security vetting. Russia's Billion Dollar Digital Racketeering Market Compounding these internal challenges, a recent U.S. Department of Justice indictment has unveiled a massive $10 million Russian disinformation operation targeting both Canada and the United States. This operation, involving Canadian actors, highlights significant vulnerabilities in Canada's defenses against foreign influence. The indictment implicates Tenet Media, a conservative outlet founded by Canadian influencer Lauren Chen, as a potential front for pro-Kremlin propaganda. This revelation underscores the sophisticated nature of foreign interference in Canadian politics. Democracy at a Crossroads The convergence of these events – Poilievre's rise as the face of Maple MAGA, his refusal of security clearance, political instability, and foreign disinformation campaigns – paints a troubling picture of Canadian democracy at a critical juncture.

"What we're seeing in Canada eerily echoes the early stages of democratic erosion we witnessed south of the border," Shalev warned. "The potential threats to institutions like the CBC may not be overt yet, but the groundwork is being laid." The Narativ Canada special edition serves as a wake-up call, urging Canadians to remain vigilant about the potential for both domestic and foreign interference in their political processes. As this story unfolds, Narativ promises to stay at the forefront, providing in-depth analysis and uncovering the hidden connections that could reshape Canadian democracy. The future of Canada's democratic institutions may well depend on how its citizens respond to these emerging challenges, particularly as they approach a potentially transformative election.
In a bombshell revelation, Narativ has obtained leaked documents from Russian intelligence services that directly implicate Elon Musk and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene in amplifying Kremlin-created propaganda. The confidential files, originating from Russia's 'Social Design Agency' (SDA), provide unprecedented insight into Moscow's ongoing efforts to manipulate U.S. public opinion and policy. According to the documents, the SDA operates under the direct supervision of Vladimir Putin's inner circle. Its primary mission is to create and disseminate content designed to influence U.S. policy on Ukraine and sow discord among the American public. First evidence that Elon Musk uses X to push Kremlin propaganda to his Millions of followers. Meeting minutes reveal that Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), shared a meme created by Russian operatives featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The document states: "The meme with the image of Volodymyr Zelensky, created by 'ASD', was shared by X and its owner - billionaire Elon Musk - on the social network." This meme, designed to weaken America's support for Ukraine, reached an estimated 95 million users. Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed a wholly fabricated narrative about Ukrainian child human trafficking. The leaks also show that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene amplified a wholly fabricated story about Ukrainian child trafficking. One report notes the operation's success: "The new team made a fake theft of children. Americans seriously published. Success!" A video presentation obtained by Narativ features Ilya Gambashidze, head of the SDA, explaining the agency's methods. Wearing a hoodie emblazoned with "Russian ideological troops" and "commander of special forces" patches, Gambashidze outlines their three-pronged approach: monitoring, analytics, and creative content production. These revelations come amid growing concern about Russian influence in U.S. media and politics. Last week, documents surfaced linking Russia Today to Russian intelligence services and identifying 600 U.S.-based paid influencers as Russian agents. Hillary Clinton calls for civil or criminal actions against Americans involved in Russian propaganda. Narativ's host, Zev Shalev, emphasized the urgency of addressing this threat to American democracy.

In a bombshell revelation, Narativ has obtained leaked documents from Russian intelligence services that directly implicate Elon Musk and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene in amplifying Kremlin-created propaganda. The confidential files, originating from Russia's 'Social Design Agency' (SDA), provide unprecedented insight into Moscow's ongoing efforts to manipulate U.S. public opinion and policy. According to the documents, the SDA operates under the direct supervision of Vladimir Putin's inner circle. Its primary mission is to create and disseminate content designed to influence U.S. policy on Ukraine and sow discord among the American public. First evidence that Elon Musk uses X to push Kremlin propaganda to his Millions of followers. Meeting minutes reveal that Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), shared a meme created by Russian operatives featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The document states: "The meme with the image of Volodymyr Zelensky, created by 'ASD', was shared by X and its owner - billionaire Elon Musk - on the social network." This meme, designed to weaken America's support for Ukraine, reached an estimated 95 million users. Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed a wholly fabricated narrative about Ukrainian child human trafficking. The leaks also show that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene amplified a wholly fabricated story about Ukrainian child trafficking. One report notes the operation's success: "The new team made a fake theft of children. Americans seriously published. Success!" A video presentation obtained by Narativ features Ilya Gambashidze, head of the SDA, explaining the agency's methods. Wearing a hoodie emblazoned with "Russian ideological troops" and "commander of special forces" patches, Gambashidze outlines their three-pronged approach: monitoring, analytics, and creative content production. These revelations come amid growing concern about Russian influence in U.S. media and politics. Last week, documents surfaced linking Russia Today to Russian intelligence services and identifying 600 U.S.-based paid influencers as Russian agents. Hillary Clinton calls for civil or criminal actions against Americans involved in Russian propaganda. Narativ's host, Zev Shalev, emphasized the urgency of addressing this threat to American democracy.

West Palm Beach, FL - What was initially reported as a potential assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his Florida golf club has now raised more questions than answers, according to a Narativ investigation. On September 15, 2024, chaos erupted at Trump International Golf Club when a man allegedly opened fire near the course where the former president was playing. Trump was unharmed in the incident. The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested after a high-speed chase. Routh, a North Carolina native who relocated to Hawaii in 2018, has a complex background that includes a 2002 felony conviction for possessing a weapon of mass destruction. However, discrepancies in the official narrative have emerged. Court documents place Routh at the golf course at 1:00 AM, hours before Trump's reportedly last-minute decision to play golf. This timing has raised questions about how Routh knew to be there. The weapon allegedly used, an SKS-style rifle with an obliterated serial number, is not commonly sold in Florida, adding another layer of mystery to the incident. Months before the event, social media posts warned about Routh's alleged misrepresentation of ties to international military organizations. One user, claiming to be a former International Legion member, stated Routh was "misrepresenting himself and lying to many people" about connections to Ukrainian forces. The incident occurs against the backdrop of a tight presidential race. Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris with a narrow 0.2 percentage point lead in battleground states, while former President Trump leads in states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona. Pennsylvania, with its crucial 19 electoral votes, is currently tied. Local law enforcement and federal agencies are continuing their investigation into the incident. The Department of Justice has notably avoided using the term "assassination attempt" in its statements, referring instead to "firearms charges related to an incident." As the investigation unfolds, many questions remain unanswered. How did Routh obtain the weapon? What were his true intentions? And why was he at the golf course hours before Trump arrived? Narativ will continue to follow this developing story as more information becomes available. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Last night's interview between former President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk on Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has attracted serious criticism. The two-hour conversation, which reportedly reached an audience of up to 84 million viewers, has been criticized for potentially spreading misinformation and unsubstantiated claims. Key Points of Contention: Immigration Claims: Trump's assertion that 20 million people have entered the country illegally was challenged as unsupported by available data. Foreign Policy: Trump's claim that conflicts like Russia's invasion of Ukraine wouldn't have happened under his presidency was questioned, with critics suggesting that his approach might have had negative consequences for global democracy. Education: Trump proposed closing the Department of Education and moving control back to individual states, a suggestion that was met with skepticism about its potential effectiveness. October 7th Attack: Trump made a controversial claim suggesting Russian involvement in the October 7th attack on Israel, which has not been corroborated by official sources. Economic Issues: Trump's statements about inflation being at its worst in 100 years were disputed, with current data showing inflation rates have decreased to more manageable levels. In a late-night Narativ, Zev Shalev argued that the interview format allowed for the unchallenged spread of potentially false or misleading information. Concerns were also raised about the appropriateness of a major social media platform providing what some view as free campaign publicity. The broadcast has reignited discussions about social media's role in political discourse and platforms' responsibility in moderating content during election seasons. As the 2024 presidential campaign continues to unfold, this interview serves as a reminder of the complex interplay between media, technology, and politics in the modern era.

In a shocking new analysis, journalist and media producer Zev Shalev alleges that Joe Biden may have been deliberately sabotaged during last week's CNN presidential debate against Donald Trump. Key Issues Unusual debate format and pacing that seemed designed to disorient Biden Suspicious lighting differences between Biden's and Trump's podiums Possible audio manipulation of Biden's voice, stripping out mid-range frequencies Questions about Biden's mysterious "cold" and whether he was given something to impair his performance Shalev argues these factors combined to make Biden appear older, frailer and less coherent than he is. He calls for an independent investigation into CNN's production choices and whether foul play was involved. "Before Democrats rush to replace Biden at the top of the ticket, we need answers about what happened that night," Shalev states. He urges viewers to be skeptical of the "Biden is too old" narrative, which he links to ongoing Russian disinformation campaigns. The full analysis is available on Shalev's Narativ podcast. Show Notes: Zev Shalev alleges Joe Biden may have been sabotaged at the CNN debate Suspicious production choices in lighting, audio, and format benefited Trump Calls for investigation before any talk of replacing Biden as nominee Warns "Biden is too old" narrative plays into Russian disinformation A full breakdown of evidence on the latest Narativ podcast episode Learn more about your ad choices.
