Edit This appears to be a well-structured international affairs program that covers a comprehensive range of global topics. A few observations: Strengths: Breadth of coverage: The show tackles major geopolitical regions (Middle East, Europe, Russia, Asia, Latin America) in a systematic way Expert sourcing: Features analysts from respected institutions like FDD, Carnegie Endowment, and U.S. Army War College Timely topics: Addresses current flashpoints like Israel/Gaza, Ukraine support, and regional elections Format observations: The 15-minute segment structure allows for focused discussion without superficial coverage Grouping related topics (like the two-part Israel segment) makes sense The "New World Report" branding for the Latin America hour creates clear thematic organization Potential considerations: Heavy focus on conflict and instability (which may reflect current global realities) The late-night time slot (9 PM-1 AM) suggests this targets a dedicated audience of foreign policy enthusiasts Limited representation of perspectives from the regions being discussed (mostly U.S.-based analysts) Overall, it reads like a serious foreign policy program designed for listeners who want in-depth international analysis rather than headlines. The academic and think tank sourcing suggests it aims for analytical depth over breaking news coverage.

Spring and summer mean warmer weather and fresh fruit and vegetables. But if you've noticed your lips or mouth itching or tingling after eating a raw fruit or vegetable, you may have OAS.  Oral Allergy Syndrome (also known as Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome) can occur when people who suffer from certain tree, grass, or weed pollens eat specific fruits, vegetables, or nuts. Dr. Phil Jones explains why this cross-reactivity occurs and how you may be able to minimize your discomfort while still enjoying the fruits of the season!

This Day in Legal History: Cuba Suspended from OASOn January 22, 1962, the Organization of American States (OAS) took the historic step of suspending Cuba from its membership. This decision followed the Cuban Revolution, which saw Fidel Castro's government align itself with communist ideologies and the Soviet Union, marking a stark departure from the democratic and anti-communist principles upheld by the OAS. The suspension, supported by 14 member states against six dissenting votes, highlighted Cold War tensions and the fear of communist influence spreading across the Americas. It marked the first time the OAS had taken such a measure against a member nation, emphasizing the geopolitical divide between the United States and Soviet-aligned nations.The resolution to suspend Cuba was rooted in Article 8 of the OAS Charter, which mandated respect for representative democracy as a condition of membership. Cuba's embrace of communism and its growing ties with the USSR, particularly during events like the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis, deepened the rift with its neighbors. The suspension effectively isolated Cuba from multilateral political cooperation within the Americas but did little to curtail its growing influence among leftist movements globally.Efforts to reintegrate Cuba into the OAS came decades later. On June 3, 2009, the OAS voted to lift the suspension, acknowledging changing political landscapes and calls for normalization. However, Cuba immediately rejected the offer, citing its disinterest in rejoining the organization. The Cuban government viewed the OAS as a tool of U.S. hegemony and incompatible with its principles. The 1962 suspension remains a critical moment in the history of inter-American relations, illustrating the enduring complexities of ideology and diplomacy during the Cold War.Twenty-two Democratic-led states, the District of Columbia, and San Francisco filed lawsuits challenging President Donald Trump's executive order eliminating birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents. The lawsuits, filed in federal courts in Boston, Seattle, and Maryland, argue that the order violates the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to all individuals born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction.The lawsuits emphasize the constitutional foundation of birthright citizenship, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), which upheld citizenship rights for children born on U.S. soil to non-citizen parents. Plaintiffs assert that Trump's order represents an unconstitutional overreach of presidential authority and an attempt to bypass established constitutional and legal principles.If implemented, the order would leave over 150,000 children born annually without citizenship, rendering them stateless and depriving them of rights such as voting, working lawfully, and accessing federal benefits like Medicaid. States also face increased financial and administrative burdens, including the loss of federal funding for healthcare and education programs that are tied to citizenship status.Among the plaintiffs are civil rights groups, immigrant advocacy organizations, and an expectant mother with temporary protected status. The lawsuits seek declaratory and injunctive relief, aiming to prevent the enforcement of what they call a flagrantly unconstitutional policy. Early hearings on temporary restraining orders are scheduled in some jurisdictions, marking this as one of the first major legal battles of Trump's administration​.22 Democratic-led states sue over Trump's birthright citizenship order | ReutersPresident Donald Trump's executive order delaying enforcement of a bipartisan law banning TikTok has plunged the platform into legal uncertainty. The law, passed with overwhelming support in Congress and signed by President Joe Biden, required TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest the platform by January 19. It also imposed heavy penalties—$5,000 per user—on service providers like Apple and Google for noncompliance.Trump's order pauses enforcement for 75 days and directs the Justice Department to assure service providers that they won't face liability during this period. However, legal experts argue the order offers limited assurance. Executive orders cannot override duly enacted laws, and courts generally do not view such directives as binding. Moreover, the president retains the authority to alter the order or enforce the law selectively, adding to the uncertainty.This action marks a rare instance of a president attempting to circumvent a law passed by both houses of Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court. Legal analysts note that while Congress could sue to enforce the law, courts might dismiss such a case as a political question or national security issue. Meanwhile, service providers are exposed to billions in potential penalties and shareholder lawsuits if they defy the law based on Trump's directive.Despite the pause, TikTok remains unavailable on major U.S. app stores, reflecting the precarious legal and financial risks for service providers caught between compliance with federal law and Trump's temporary reprieve. This legal limbo underscores tensions between the executive branch, Congress, and the tech industry over the regulation of foreign-owned platforms.Trump executive order leaves TikTok in legal limbo, for now | ReutersPresident Donald Trump issued an executive order revoking the authority of the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) to enforce diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives among federal contractors. The OFCCP, which oversees compliance with anti-discrimination laws for companies receiving federal funds, had required contractors to develop affirmative action programs and address workforce disparities based on gender, race, and other protected characteristics.Trump's order mandates the OFCCP immediately stop promoting affirmative action or workforce diversity measures. It also requires contractors to certify within 90 days that they are not implementing DEI programs deemed discriminatory under federal civil rights law. Additionally, the order redefines DEI initiatives as a potential form of illegal discrimination and encourages private companies to abandon such programs.The president's actions rescinded Executive Order 11246, a landmark 1965 order that established the OFCCP's affirmative action enforcement framework. Trump also repealed EO 13672, which protected federal contractor employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity—protections that were later recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court under Title VII.This move is part of Trump's broader rollback of DEI policies, including prior executive orders eliminating diversity programs in federal agencies and restricting the legal definition of gender. Critics argue these changes undermine civil rights protections, while supporters claim they prevent reverse discrimination. The order creates significant uncertainty for federal contractors navigating compliance and DEI program implementation.Trump Guts Contractor Watchdog's Anti-Discrimination Power (1)In my column for Bloomberg this week, a discussion of religious exemptions for unemployment taxes.The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to address a pivotal question of tax policy and religious exemptions in a case involving Catholic Charities Bureau (CCB). The organization, affiliated with the Catholic Church, argues it should be exempt from paying unemployment taxes because of its religious connection, despite providing social services that are fundamentally secular, such as job placement for individuals with disabilities and daily living assistance. This case raises concerns about fairness in the nonprofit sector. Granting CCB a tax exemption would create an uneven playing field, where secular organizations performing identical services face higher tax burdens. Such an outcome risks distorting the marketplace of charitable organizations and undermines the principle of equal obligations for entities engaging in similar work. The implications extend far beyond this case. A ruling in favor of CCB could incentivize other religiously affiliated organizations to seek similar exemptions, potentially leading to widespread abuse of the tax system. Hospitals, schools, and social service agencies with religious ties might claim exemptions for services indistinguishable from those provided by secular counterparts, further eroding tax equity and integrity.The core of the issue lies in the distinction between genuinely religious activities and secular services provided under religious affiliation. Exempting organizations like CCB shifts the financial burden of public goods, such as unemployment insurance, onto other employers, including secular nonprofits, weakening their ability to serve the public effectively. Additionally, it blurs the boundary between secular and religious activities, making tax exemptions a potential tool for avoidance rather than a recognition of genuine religious exercise.This case also highlights the challenge of determining what qualifies for a religious exemption. While proponents argue that no organization should have to prove its religiosity, some oversight is necessary to prevent abuse and maintain fairness. Without such standards, exemptions could devolve into unchecked privileges for organizations with tenuous religious affiliations.Ultimately, the Court must balance respecting religious liberty with upholding public responsibilities. Preserving the Wisconsin Supreme Court's ruling against CCB would protect the integrity of the tax system, ensure fairness among nonprofits, and maintain a clear distinction between secular and religious activities while reinforcing the shared obligations of all public-serving entities.Supreme Court Must Ensure All Charities Get Fair Treatment This is a public episode.

No, no nos olvidamos del Traction Avant, pero fue realmente el Citroën DS el que consiguió que la marca triunfase en este segmento. El éxito fue tal que convirtió el DS en un mito desde el instante de su presentación… y todos sabemos lo difícil que es suceder a un mito. Cuando conduces un DS, sobre todo si tienes experiencia con clásicos de esos años, a-lu-ci-nas… te preguntas, ¿y este coche tiene casi 70 años? Con el CX vamos más allá: Va mejor que algunas berlinas actuales en cuanto a calidad de rodadura… sin duda no en cuanto a seguridad pasiva y emisiones, pero por confort, prestaciones e incluso seguridad activa, sigue siendo plenamente actual. Y sucede algo parecido, pero en mayor medida, con los XM y C6, coches que casi os digo que son comparables con coches actuales… tendrán cosas peores, pero en otras, como en confort o personalidad, les superan. Os decía que el DS se convirtió en un mito casi desde el mismo instante de su presentación… y no os miento. Se presentación al gran público tuvo lugar el 5 de octubre de 1955… hace 69 años y cuatro días en el momento de grabar este video. Y en 15 minutos se recibieron 743 pedidos en firme. ¿Impresionante? Pues eso no es nada, en el primer día del Salón 12.000 personas pidieron un Citroën DS, 19 aún sin haberlo probado. Los periodistas estaban también entusiasmados, aunque mucho dijeron que ese modelo merecía más motor… algo que, realmente, nunca tuvo, pues siempre equipo un 4 cilindros, evidentemente en esos años, con 8 válvulas y sin turbo. E Uno de esos enamorados del DS fue el mismísimo General Charles de Gaulle, presidente de la Republica. Lo uso porque le encantaba, pero luego un 22 de agosto de 1962, el DS le salvo la vida. Ese día la organización terrorista denominada OAS, que pretendía la independencia de Argelia, disparó nada menos que 140 balas sobre el coche del presidente… El blindaje detuvo esas balas, pero el coche, gracias a su particular suspensión, pudo huir a más de 100 km/h con las 4 ruedas pinchadas esta dejar a sus ocupantes, De Gaulle, su esposa y el chófer, en un lugar seguro, sanos y salvos. Este no es el origen del mito del DS, pero sin duda, los reforzó. El DS nació con un motor de 1.9 litros y unos 84 CV y “murió” con un motor de 2,2 litros y 125 CV, el del DS23 con inyección directa, coche que pude probar no por ser periodista, sino porque un amigo coleccionista me lo dejo toda una semana… ¡que gozada! La calidad de rodadura, el confort, silencio y comportamiento en curva eran y son espectaculares. Por algo de este modelo se llegaron a vender más de un millón y medio de unidades. Pero al comienzo de los años 70, más por el desgaste de tantos años en el mercado que por el empuje de su competencia, el DS necesitaba un sucesor… y un sucesor digno de un mito. Y ese sucesor llegó el 26 de agosto de 1974 y se llamó la “nouvelle DS”, sino CX en referencia a su depurada aerodinámica con un coeficiente de 0,35 excelente en su tiempo. Fue digno heredero del DS… a pesar de mantener uno de sus problemas. ¿Cuál era ese problema? Pues que un coche con semejante bastidor, tan bonito y bien hecho, merecía motores más potentes y refinados. Tampoco llegó a tener un V6, que se lo merecía incluso más que el DS y tenía más espacio en el vano motor, pero al menos tuvo versiones turbo que en el caso del motor de gasolina, de 2.4 litros, alcanzaba 168 CV… Bueno, no está mal, pero hubiese estado mejor un V6 de 3 litros de 200 y 250 CV. Citroën con el DS lanzó un coche muy moderno, adelantado a su tiempo, pero casi “sin quererlo”, pero en el caso del CX no se adelantó tanto a su tiempo, pero en cambio sí quería parecerlo. Esto se notaba en su afinada aerodinámica, su curiosa luneta trasera cóncava, su directísima dirección de apenas 2,5 vueltas de tope a tope o su original instrumentación… todo muy moderno, en algunos casos más efectista que efectivo, pero que colaboraba a la identidad de este modelo. Ya siendo profesional del periodismo he tenido oportunidad de probar muchas variantes del CX y de todas guardo muy buen recuerdo. Pero sobre todo de 2, del familiar con motor turbodiésel de 120 CV y del GTi Turbo, con motor de 2,5 litros, inyección Bosch L-Jetronic, turbocompresor Garret T3 y 168 CV a solo 5.000 rpm. Es posible, o quizás sea cosa mía, que el CX en proporción envejeció más que el DS. O quizás es que la competencia se había espabilado, pero los paragolpes y que los cristales no fuesen enrasados con la carrocería daban al CX un aspecto algo menos moderno de lo que su línea daba a entender. Además las cosas, empresarialmente, habían cambiado mucho, en algunos aspecto para bien y en otros para mal. Para bien, porque en los 70, Citroën estuvo a punto de desaparecer. Para bien, porque la compra de Peugeot, permitió seguir a la marca adelante… aunque con el paso del tiempo perdiese cierta autonomía. El BX fue un balón de oxígeno para la marca que ya se planteó el relevo al CX. Hubo dos propuestas, una del departamento de diseño de PSA, muy influenciado por Peugeot, o lo que es lo mismo, muy conservador, y la propuesta de Bertone, que había presentado Marc Deschamps, a la ordenes de Gandini. Por suerte para Citroën, para los aficionados y para la historia, venció la propuesta de Bertone… ¡¡¡Bien!!! Y es que el XM no es un coche bonito… ¡es un coche precioso! Era un coche muy moderno, no solo por sus soluciones mecánicas, sino incluso por sus procesos de fabricación que incluían el galvanizado total de la carrocería. Contaba con suspensión hidroneumática de gestión electrónica, la llamada Hidractiva y, ¡por fin! con un motor V6 que en su versión gasolina de 3 litros y 24 válvulas ofrecía 200 CV… ¡ya era hora! Llegó el V6, aunque como decíamos al principio, no era un “buen” V6, era el famoso PRV a 90 grados… contamos la historia en el vídeo titulado “Historias que las marcas esconden”. De este modelo se vendieron cerca de 350.000 unidades. C6: ¿Y si hubiese sido alemán? En este coche voy a comenzar al revés, por su producción. Fijaos: El DS se fabricó durante 20 años y se vendieron más de un millón y medio de unidades. El CX se fabricó durante 17 años y se vendieron un millón de unidades. El XM tuvo una vida activa de 11 años y se vendieron unas 350.000 unidades. Y del C6, fabricado entre 2005 y 2012, o sea, 7 años, se vendieron solo… (silencio “trágico”) … 23.284 ejemplares… Y era un coche extraordinario, con la suspensión Hidractiva III, con motores V6 gasolina y Diésel de hasta 241 CV, con una calidad extraordinaria y una línea. Inspirada en el CX más que en el DS, espectacular… Pero en esos tiempos, el comprador que quería un coche Premium lo quería de una marca Premium, especialmente alemana… si el C6 lo hubiese construido BMW… ¡lo hubiesen despachado!

On today's episode we have another Canadian guest, Kyle Prevost, who achieved financial independence at an early age (he was able to pull it off in his 30s). He's also done hundreds of financial talks and interviews over the years with both regular Canadians, and some of the most highly respected financial experts in both Canada and the US. In this episode, we discuss what he's learned from these hundreds of discussions that he's had, especially when it comes to best practices and financial tactics that we can apply to our own lives. He also shares advice on how he personally minimizes and thinks about fees in his own investment portfolio, and we also discuss his findings on CPP and OAS in Canada, which in case you're not familiar, are the two main income sources from the government that Canadians rely on in their retirement. Kyle has done a bunch of research and interviews on how viable the CPP and OAS is long-term, and if we can continue to expect to receive them in our older age, even if we're nowhere near that traditional retirement age of 65 yet. We cover all this and more in the interview. Also, free tickets to the Canadian Financial Summit: Kyle and I have run the Canadian Financial Summit together for years in the past, this year I'm attending it as one of the speakers, and I have free tickets for you which you can get at buildwealthcanada.ca/summit. In case you're new to the Summit, it's a fully online event for Canadians where you can stream all the educational talks. I'll be speaking at it again this year, this time about RRSPs, and I'll be there with 36 other Canadian personal finance and investing experts who will be sharing their expertise and best practices when it comes to investing, retirement, financial planning, ETFs, pensions, cash flow management once you hit your financial independence number, and much more. It's happening really soon this month, October 23-26. I hope to see you there, and again you can get free tickets to the event by going to buildwealthcanada.ca/summit I hope to see you there! Kornel

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! A deep dive on the pod today into what's become a political hot topic: Retirement Security and Canadian Pensions. The Bloc is threatening to trigger an early election over Bill C-319. A Bill that would raise Old Age Security payments for seniors between the ages of 65 and 74 by 10%.Today, I want to step back and examine the whole area from a policy perspective. And so, we've brought back the vaunted Herle Burly #PolicyPanel … Tyler Meredith, Jennifer Robson, and Sean Speer.Tyler is the former Head of Fiscal and Economic Policy for Prime Minister Trudeau and Ministers of Finance, Chrystia Freeland and Bill Morneau. Today, he's a Founding Partner at Meredith/Boessenkool Policy Advisors. Jennifer has held senior roles in policy development and research with the Federal Government. She's now Program Director and Associate Professor of Political Management at Carleton University.And Sean is a former senior economic advisor to Prime Minister Harper. Today, he's Senior Fellow at U of T's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. He's also a Founder and Editor-at-Large at TheHub.ca.So, here's a road map of what I hope to cover today:What's the financial position of both current and soon-to-be retirees? How does an expanded CPP affect that? What was the government's rationale for increasing OAS to only those over 75? What impact would the Bloc's proposal have? How is the RRSP system working and how can we get more people saving earlier? And more!Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Raquel: Hi, I wanted to know if it's possible to get rid of food and environmental allergies. I cannot tolerate fruits, vegetables, nuts, and nickel-containing products due to these. Even if I cook everything (OAS), I still get an itchy mouth, wheezing, and/or vomiting/diarrhea (especially with eggplant, coconut, and nuts). I did IgE blood and skin testing and was allergic to everything tested. I also tried allergy shots for 5 years. I also have IBS-D and fiber/grains are a major trigger. The one thing that has worked to reduce my symptoms (hives, itchy mouth, asthma, diarrhea) is to eat an elimination diet (no plants), but I am worried about this long term. I am allergic to your HistPro and Sinus Support supplements I assume due to the plants in them. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks so much!     Matthew: My mother saw her doctor and he told her that her heart is not pumping enough blood throughout her body and she needs to see specialist. Now on the allopathic side I know they're gonna have her take heart medication. I know my experience that heart medication causes so many problems overtime just like other medication cause problems. I wanted to know what can she do for a naturopathic/ functional medicine perspective, or should I say try before she goes into the medication aspect? Because from the sounds of it to me, her EF or ejection fracture is lower than it should be. I may be wrong but that's what it sounds like to me. I'm hoping you can help thanks     Amy: Should one take a break from berberine need to be stopped after taking it 6 months? It is the only thing that stopped my hot flashes so i don't want to stop.     Maria: Why does the heat of the sun make me feel sick?     Jillian: My 3.5 year old daughter develops a cough that can last a month+ after being sick. This cough wakes her at night, sometimes causing her to vomit from coughing so hard. During these times she will cough after running around also. This happens every few months, with some time in between of no symptoms. It seems like asthma but I am unsure of what to do. How safe are breathing treatments and inhalers for children? Does this mean she requires antibiotics to clear any infection from a lingering sickness? Most importantly, why would this be happening to her? Would removing tonsils help? I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of treating her with western medicine letting it be and seeing if it stops as she gets older. She's only had antibiotics once in her life and eats fairly well for a toddler.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3166 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Latin America has taken a democratic backslide in the 21st century with more regimes entrenching themselves in power through autocratic practices and political repression. The lack of human rights and increase in political violence in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, are alarming, especially as this sort of authoritarian learning starts to spread throughout the region. For Episode 35 of the Border Wars Podcast, we are joined by Foreign Minister Rubén Ramírez Lezcano of the Republic of Paraguay, who shares lessons learned throughout his 35 years of diplomatic experience. Paraguay is a staunch supporter of Israel; it's the largest country recognizing Taiwan; and is an important trade partner for Brazil and Argentina, two of the largest countries in Latin America. Minister Ramírez Lezcano takes us through a tour of the region, discussing the challenges in Venezuela and Cuba, while explaining the opportunities in the Caribbean countries. Nominated by Paraguayan President Santiago Peña as a candidate to be the next secretary general of the Organization of American States, Minister Ramírez Lezcano also provides his vision for the OAS ahead of its election in March 2025.

We answer a listener's question about balancing RRSP and RIF withdrawals in retirement while minimizing taxes. We highlight the importance of personalized planning, discussing when it makes sense to defer withdrawals for tax-deferred growth and when early withdrawals could help reduce future tax liabilities like OAS clawbacks.   Joe emphasizes that strategies like delaying CPP or OAS or adjusting withdrawal timing depend on individual goals, income sources, and estate considerations, stressing that no single approach fits all situations.   Read the full show notes and find more information here:  Ep 108 Show Notes

The Fed has made its first rate cut. What does it mean for fixed income markets? Listen to our latest podcast with Douglas Gimple as he breaks down the implications for mortgages, ABS, and investment opportunities. CMBS or commercial mortgage-backed securities are fixed-income investment products that are backed by mortgages on commercial properties rather than residential real estate. OAS or option-adjusted spread is the measurement of the spread of a fixed income security rate and the risk-free rate of return, which is then adjusted to take into account embedded options. The views expressed are those of the speakers as of September 2024 and are subject to change without notice. These opinions are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or investment advice. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

The Algerian War of Independence constituted a major turning point of 20th century history. The conflict exacerbated divisions in French society, culminating in an unsuccessful coup attempt by the OAS in 1961. The war also launched the Third Worldist movement, delegitimized colonial rule because of its brutality, and it gave us one of the towering anti-colonial intellectual figures, the pro-FLN Martinican psychiatrist Frantz Fanon. Today's episode focuses on another important development that occurred as a result of the Algerian War: the transformation of modern warfare. Revolutionary Warfare: How the Algerian War Made Modern Counterinsurgency (Cornell UP, 2024) shows how French generals, officers, and civil officials sought to counter Algerian independence with their own project of social transformation. My guest, Terrence Peterson, argues that the French military effort in Algeria never exclusively focused on repression. Instead, military leaders fashioned new forms of surveillance and social control that its proponents hoped would capture the loyalty of Algerians and transform Algerian society. Although ultimately unsuccessful in its attempt to ‘keep Algeria French,' the new strategy of counterinsurgency became a model for anti-communist military and intelligence officers around the world. Terrence Peterson is an Associate Professor of History at Florida International University, where he teaches on modern Europe and European empires.
