Podcasts about oligarchs

Today, more than twenty oligarchs serve as heads of state or government in countries such as Russia, South Africa, Lebanon and El Salvador. Many have a net worth in excess of $1 billion, and they all – whether directly or indirectly – impact our daily lives.   Who are the oligarchs and how have they come to dominate our world? What difference does gender make? Is there something “good” to be found in them, or are they just “bad”? And what is it like to interview an oligarch and glimpse their human side? In this book talk, the authors of The Oligarchs' Grip: Fusing Wealth and Power talk to Stefan Giesen, Editorial Director Business & Economics at De Gruyter. Entrepreneurship expert David Lingelbach and oligarch researcher Valentina Rodríguez Guerra draw upon more than 25 years of research (including conversations with Vladimir Putin and other oligarchs), 16 case studies, and dozens of historical examples in The Oligarchs' Grip. They develop the first-ever model that reveals the strategies employed by oligarchs to fuse wealth and power and transition between the two.  David Lingelbach is Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Merrick School of Business, University of Baltimore. He was educated at MIT, London School of Economics and Political Science, and the University of Exeter, where he earned his Ph.D. Prior to becoming an academic, David served in senior roles in finance and international development, including as CEO of Bank of America's businesses in the former Soviet Union. He was a Fulbright Scholar (Myanmar/Burma, 2018-19) and Fulbright Specialist (Colombia, 2021) and has been nominated twice for an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship.  Valentina Rodríguez Guerra is an author, oligarch researcher, and graduate student in business administration, Facultad de Ciencias Económicas, Universidad Nacional de Colombia. She has received awards for her work from NASA and the Colombian Ministry of Education.   Together, they are regular opinion contributors to The Hill on Vladimir Putin and other oligarchs.     Link to the book ► https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783111028255/html Contact us ► https://www.degruyter.com/publishing/about-us/contact?lang=en FOLLOW US ► Website: https://www.degruyter.com/ ► Blog: https://blog.degruyter.com/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/degruyter.publishers ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/de-gruyter ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/degruyter_official ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/degruyter_pub ► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DegruyterPublishers ► SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-869529439 #DeGruyter #oligarch #oligarchy

Angenommen Sie sind ein russischer Oligarch. Sie haben sehr viel Geld und dieses Geld stammt womöglich aus dubiosen Geschäften. Und weil ihr befreundeter Diktator gerade einen brutalen Krieg startet, drohen auch Ihnen EU-Sanktionen. Dann brauchen sie so etwas wie einen sicheren Hafen. Und hier kommt Zypern ins Spiel. Eine internationale Recherche, an der auch der STANDARD beteiligt ist, zeigt, wie das EU-Land Zypern zum Geldbunker von Oligarchen wurde. Und wie westliche Firmen dabei helfen, Geld und Geschäfte an Behörden und auch Sanktionen vorbeizuführen. Wir sprechen heute darüber, wie ein Finanzdatenleck bislang heimliche Deals enttarnt und Oligarchen genauso wie europäische Unternehmen, einen bekannten deutschen Journalisten und Geschäftsleute aus Österreich in Bedrängnis bringt.

Russian Oligarchs routinely use a process in English courts to silence their critics. It's called Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation or SLAPPs for short. David Hooper is a veteran lawyer and author of Buying Silence How oligarchs, corporations and plutocrats use the law to gag their critics. He's no stranger to this expensive process and says it makes it too easy for billionaires to launder their reputation. He joins Ros Taylor in The Bunker. https://www.bitebackpublishing.com/books/buying-silence  “The courts seem to take the view that it's not their fault they're oligarchs.” – David Hooper. “The whole court process is pretty scandalous, it needs resetting.” – David Hooper. “Once the roubles were put on the table, people were perfectly happy to act for Prigozhin.” – David Hooper.

While England was sliding into civil war, London itself seemed mostly unconcerned; a new class of Oligarchs were enjoying the benefits of London's new Commune status, and this episode serves as an introduction to some of them; their personalities, friendships, nepotism and rivalries. It also explains why the new Bishop of London was fired by the Pope, what Rahere of St. Bart's did next, and why London may have wondered if they had picked the wrong King…

Episode 3087: Stop The Funding Of Oligarchs Pushing For War

How do we make sense of all the disorder in the world today? And Is there a “they”? In this conversation with Alex Krainer we attempt to get to the heart of the problem plaguing the world today. If you aren't already a subscriber to Alex's excellent and free newsletter, subscribe here.   Time stamps: The clash between two systems of governance [00:02:10] Alex Krainer discusses the clash between what Soros defines as “open societies” and “closed societies”, and how it has been ongoing for more than 2000 years. The conflict between ruling oligarchies and the rest of humanity [00:03:41] Krainer explains how ruling oligarchies in the West have historically created misery at home and mayhem abroad, with a narrow vested interest in the moneylender class. Russia and China as the "good side" [00:07:18] Krainer argues that Russia and China are the good side in the current global conflict, contrasting their histories with Western empires and their lack of colonization and invasion. China's intentions towards the United States [00:11:56] Alex discusses the lack of reason to believe that China has any intention to harm the United States and questions why they would choose to invade the United States instead of other countries. The unique characteristics of Western civilization [00:14:23] Doug lists 12 characteristics of Western civilization that he believes are unique to it, including free thought, free speech, free markets, and individualism. The origin of central banking [00:19:08] Alex discusses the origins of central banking, mentioning the Venetian bank as a possible first central bank and the establishment of the Bank of England as the first true central bank. The importance of surplus labor and social capital [00:24:39] Discussion on how surplus labor in settled communities allows for the creation of social capital and investment in community projects. The role of bankers in allocating credit [00:27:23] Exploration of how bankers can control the allocation of credit and investment, potentially diverting resources away from community desires. The facade of freedom of speech in Western civilization [00:29:51] Analysis of how freedom of speech is limited and controlled in Western societies, with examples of censorship and deplatforming. The deteriorating social infrastructure [00:36:05] The speaker discusses how the social infrastructure in their country has deteriorated, including issues with the water supply, trash, and postal system. The need for monetary system reform [00:37:18] The speaker argues that the monetary system needs to be reformed in order to address the wealth inequality and ensure credit allocation aligns with community needs. Two ways to end the current system [00:42:19] The speaker explains that there are two possible outcomes to address the current system: a deflationary death spiral or using the central bank to issue credit and potentially trigger hyperinflation. Preparing for a crisis [00:47:33] Advice on acquiring gold and silver, having enough savings to cover expenses, and owning land for self-sufficiency. Building community resilience [00:48:48] The importance of reaching out to local communities, cultivating bonds of trust and mutual support for resilience during a crisis. Chances of a police state [00:49:23] Discussion on the likelihood of the US and EU turning into police states, highlighting the differences in democracy and government accountability. Alex's Take on The Great Taking [01:03:56] Discussion on the possibility of a rug pull in the financial system and the risks involved. The option of printing fiat to infinity [01:01:04] Exploring the option of central banks printing unlimited amounts of fiat currency to manage economic crises. Solution to the Oligarch problem [01:05:23] They should get exactly what they want for us.

“We found more undocumented meetings between senior newspaper editors—especially his real boss, as Dominic Cummings called Boris Johnson's former employer, The Telegraph,—than any other industry by far. What do they get? What does the political class get? Boris Johnson's got one million pounds per year at The Daily Mail. That's what he gets. They get cover. They get support from these papers. What do the papers get in return? We've documented it. At least 200 million in covid subsidies through this advertising, which was only given to members of the News Media Association, which includes the Guardian and The Mirror and The Independent. The Independent takes money from Saudi, so it's greenwashing. You ask them to comment on it, they won't touch it because their salaries are being paid by it.”Oligarchy has infiltrated media—but the elite invited them in.Keeping up with the revolving door between media, politics, intelligence and corporations would make anyone queasy. There is an elite class of people with access to power, wealth and influence, and they trade that power, wealth and influence between them to keep it in the family. The press would like us to think they're the independent watchdog above it all. It's the greatest story they've ever spun.Peter Jukes is the cofounder and executive editor of Byline Times, the British media outlet created to expose corruption in media and write the stories the establishment won't. In this episode, he explains how oligarchy took over the markets after 2008, the reality of the press ecosystem, how it's unravelling, and how to create a forum for ideology.© Rachel DonaldPlanet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis—and what to do about it.

When you are part of the one percent you are able to do things that the rest of us could only dream about.

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – We delve into the chaos of U.S. politics, unraveling the orchestrated budget debate and its implications. I discuss Newsome's potential appointment of Meghan Markle and Musk's observations at the Texas border. I emphasize the urgent need for Trump to reveal his prospective advisers before the election, highlighting the stakes for the republic's future amidst political turmoil.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 45: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: "Join the ultimate strike against the globalist class," Trump shouted at his crowd in Michigan. And of course that is a double dogwhistle because to antisemites like Trump, "Globalist" means Jews, but also has a CLEAN meaning: dealing with the interconnections of the modern world, internationally. And he got away with “strike” there because he was nominally addressing the labor action by the United Auto Workers. Of course if you think he was telling his cult of thugs to take labor action against those dealing with the interconnections of the modern world, congratulations on awakening from your nine-year coma. Trump began to covertly attack Jewish people as soon as his presidential campaign began, he threatened globalists at the United Nations, this is nothing new. But the use of the term “ultimate strike” should set off any remaining alarm bells that have not been ringing continuously all this time. This is not a complicated calculation: if Trump determined that he could get elected by beginning a full-fledged attack on Jewish people, Jewish influence, he'd do it. When we speak of him as having the soul of a mass murderer, that's what we mean. People do not have any actual VALUE to him. Re-enact the holocaust in whole or in part? To get re-elected? To stay out of jail? Of course he'd do that. And to any group you could name. If he became convinced that he could regain the White House by rounding up and killing all the… left-handed people, he'd do it. There is also more to the attack on the news media for "country-threatening treason." The former editor of The Washington Post confirms are worst fears. When Trump and Kushner demanded they meet to discuss how they could 'make it up' to Trump for reporting on Russia, the executives went as summoned, and negotiated. There is the danger in how the media has treated Trump and will treat him: it's all a negotiation for him, and it's all a negotiation for them. Speaking of which, Melania has reportedly re-done her pre-nup. Which Tee Box did she get in the new deal? And as House Republicans prepare to sack Kevin McCarthy and replace him with Tom Emmer, who best represented their hilarious 'Impeachment Inquiry' launch? Jonathan Turkey saying he didn't see any evidence worthy of an impeachment? Or Congressman Chuck Edwards, who couldn't pronounce any of the names or words in the sentence they gave him to read - particularly: "Oligarch." B-Block (25:22) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Stew Peters and guest demand execution of Taylor Swift and Travis Kielce for vaccine advocacy. Hey, Matt Gaetz? Why the long face? And Curt Schilling - Scumbag - reveals a former teammate is fighting cancer even though the former teammate wanted to keep it private. (30:42) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL, PART 1: Saturday is Stevie Day. You've heard this story before? Well here's your chance to hear it again. A boy and his first dog (ok, the boy was 53). C-Block (46:17) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL, PART 2: Stevie makes her cameo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

P.M. Edition for Sept. 25. The U.S. and other Western nations launched an unprecedented campaign to sanction Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.

The Pandora Papers is a massive leak of financial documents that was made public in October 2021. It exposed the hidden wealth and financial dealings of numerous world leaders, politicians, celebrities, and business figures. The leak contained around 11.9 million documents from offshore financial service providers, including emails, contracts, and financial records, and it is one of the largest leaks of its kind.Key points and findings from the Pandora Papers include:Offshore Accounts: The leak revealed how many wealthy individuals and public figures used offshore tax havens to hide their assets and avoid paying taxes in their home countries. These offshore accounts were often created through complex legal structures.Prominent Individuals: The documents implicated a wide range of prominent figures, including politicians, government officials, monarchs, and celebrities. Notable names from various countries were linked to these offshore holdings.Conflict of Interest: Some politicians and public officials were found to have financial interests in companies and industries they were responsible for regulating, which raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest.Secrecy and Anonymity: The Pandora Papers highlighted the use of anonymous shell companies and trusts, making it difficult to trace the true owners of these assets and holdings.Global Impact: The revelations had global implications, as they shed light on how offshore financial systems facilitated corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion on a massive scale, which, in turn, can undermine the financial stability and fairness of nations.Calls for Reform: In response to the Pandora Papers, there were calls for greater transparency in financial systems and increased efforts to combat tax evasion and money laundering. Many countries promised to investigate the individuals and entities named in the leak.In this episode we dive into the President of Ukraine and his appearance in the Pandora papers. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Revealed: ‘anti-oligarch' Ukrainian president's offshore connections | Volodymyr Zelenskiy | The GuardianThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5003294/advertisement

My guest this week is back for his second appearance. He is "Nicholas", a writer over at Orthodox Reflections. Nicholas wrote a very good piece titled, "There is No Free Market or Democracy in America", and he's here to dive into the points he makes in it. Largely, we discuss the three mega-companies that own much of what we know as corporate and governmental America. They are State Street, BlackRock, and Vanguard. The 401(k)s and pensions of millions and millions of ordinary Americans are the key to untold power and influence. The big three asset management firms own almost the entire corporate sector and an increasingly large chunk of the residential real estate market as well. How does it change things when the same management firms own everyone and their competitors? We discuss all this and more.

What Time It Is In America. When the corrupt Regime is arresting its chief political opponent, it's definitely no longer politics as usual. So why are useless Republicans looking the other way? Seems they're on the wrong team. Sampling Victor Davis Hanson on where we are now as a nation. We wouldn't have believed any of this possible even 10 years ago. Plus, host reviews the choreographed GOP Dwarves Debate. DeSantis looks both ways before timidly raising his hand. The Forever Moment. Colonel Douglas MacGregor slams DeSantis for his donor-based Ukraine flip-flop. Each single-digit dwarf sadly beholden to the Oligarchs. Biden talks about his Corvette with the fire victims of Hawaii. Mollie Hemingway says you're “a bad person” if you attempt to imprison your political opponent, adding that “this is how countries fail.” Serious business. But nicely enough, Trump says he does “sleep soundly” at night in spite of it all. RIP Bob Barker of The Price Is Right.

Elon Musk has a new censorship Czar, who has touted the phrase “if it's lawful, but awful” in reference to content they will be deemphasized. Youtube is doing the same, doubling down in their allegiance to a world organization who ultimately control the content on the site. Advertisers who support the mutilation of children, the mockery of Christians, and pornographic or oversexualized content won't be censored, while those, like a US Senator speaking the truth about the PLANdemic, will be. "It's a free market, not censorship," is the mantra of these organizations' suppression campaigns. What does God's Word say?

Joe lied his way into the White House to downplay the influence peddling scandal in his family. John Solomon says the GOP should form a Select Committee to get the final information needed to move toward impeachment as crucial questions remain. We now realize what a crooked, corrupt system Joe Biden and his son were running. Oligarchs got Joe and Hunter Biden for the price of one. Hunter traded on his family name and Joe provided his clients protection. They targeted foreign money to enrich the Biden family and it was a protection racket by Joe. Bill Barr made the decision that Hunter's sins couldn't be prosecuted before the election but those charges didn't involve Joe. Solomon wonders why Barr assigned Hunter's case to Delaware when potential crimes occurred in Virginia, in Washington, D.C. and in California? Why didn't he appoint a Special Counsel? Congress should ask Barr these questions and more. Joe Biden was allowed to lie his way into office while evidence of corruption sat in DOJ and FBI files.

In just nine months, a dozen prominent Russian oligarchs -- businessmen who run major industries in step with the Russian government -- died. Some deaths could be accidents. Some looked like suicides. Yet in each case, investigators found the official conclusions didn't seem to hold up. So what's happening to all these powerful men? Ben, Matt and Noel join special guest Jake Hanrahan to learn more from his newest show Sad Oligarch.They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is presented by Old Grouch's Military Surplus – While he was Vice President, Joe Biden dined with three different clients of Hunter Biden - who paid him millions of dollars. These dinners were always at Washington's elite Cafe Milano - which bills itself as "Where the world's most powerful people go." If they didn't talk about business, what DID they discuss at these exclusive meetings?  Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Exploring the Oz 9 isn't like exploring brave new worlds in the manner of highly questionable colonialists of eras past. Except for the alligators. And the swampy bits. Also not knowing what's safe to eat (hint: not bloody much). And the near-fatal encounters on a daily basis.  OK, so it's actually quite a bit like exploring brave new worlds, except for the bravery. Just... listen to the episode. Try to stay out of the quagmires, and if you do get quagged, at least wipe your feet before you go wandering around the ship.  You've been listening to...
