Celý podcast sledujte na http://www.Echoprime.czJsme na prahu demografické katastrofy? Rok od roku se v Česku rodí míň a míň dětí. „V roce 2021 se jich narodilo 112 tisíc. Ale to bylo ještě před covidovými vakcínami. Jestli bude pokračovat trend, tak letos se jich narodí 73 tisíc. To je výrazně dramatičtější, než ten slavný propad v první polovině devadesátých let,“ říká Daniel Kaiser. „Když se podíváme celosvětově, tak tam pokles porodnosti s proočkovaností populace nesouvisí. Že by ta korelace byla jenom v Česku?“ diví se Ondřej Šmigol.Izraelské stíhačky nejdřív zlikvidovaly íránskou protileteckou obranu, velkou část vojenského vedení a zároveň útočí na různá jaderná zařízení po Íránu. „Buď s cílem dohnat Íránce k dohodě, kdy bude souhlasit s Trumpovým nápadem, že se vzdají obohacování uranu, anebo že celý jejich jaderný program zničí,“ vysvětluje Šmigol. „Po zkušenosti posledních pětadvaceti let musíme být neskutečně skeptičtí, když se na blízkém východě rozjíždí další regionální válka. Netanyahu je podle mě naprosto nedůvěryhodný člověk,“ oponuje Kaiser.A domácí politika? „Ono se nic moc neděje. Ale když Andrej Babiš spustí ten svůj šílený hysterický ječák, tak paradoxně pomáhá koalici Spolu,“ říká Dalibor Balšínek.Na Echo Poradě diskutují Jiří Peňás, Daniel Kaiser, Ondřej Šmigol a Dalibor Balšínek.X: http://twitter.com/echo24czFacebook: http://twitter.com/echo24cz

Vlajková loď sportu ČT, večerní Branky, body, vteřiny má od ledna posilu. Mezi moderátory přibyly dvě ženy. „Je to symbol. Tisíckrát horší je být na mistrovství světa,“ říká k tomu jedna z nich, reportérka Darina Vymětalíková.„Když jsem přišla do televize, tak jsem chtěla dělat spíš fotbal, ne hokej, ale to se nedalo, ani po 15 letech. Český divák je konzervativní a ten hokejový je míň konzervativní než fotbalový,“ vypráví o své kariéře Vymětalíková v nejnovějším díle podcastu Mediální cirkus.Jako novinářka přišla do České televize před 25 lety. Až po čtyřech letech se dostala k prvním reportážím o hokeji. Ovšem jen těm „soft“ - točit mohla třeba o tom, jaký tým má nejhezčí dresy. Jako reportérka mohla dělat extraligu až po osmi letech v ČT a k národnímu týmu se dostala po 14 letech.„Ono to asi bylo strašné, ale člověk byl mladý, tak to prostě nesl líp, nebo já jsem to nesla líp, nevím,“ vzpomíná Vymětalíková.Právě ona se stala první ženou, která v redakci České televize začala dělat pravidelné rozhovory z hokejových zápasů a v roce 2023 pak poprvé komentovala hokejové utkání, byť ženského hokeje.„Tu faktickou stránku komentáře mi nikdo nenapadl, ani jeden divák, ale nelíbí se jim třeba emoce. Říkají mi, že to neprožívám. Pravda je taková, že já jsem vystreslá z negativních komentářů. Ne že bych ty emoce neprožívala, ale já je nedokážu dát ven,“ dodává.V posledních týdnech mohli fanoušci hokeje Darinu Vymětalíkovou sledovat z mistrovství světa, odkud vysílala už podesáté. A jak říká, i když si mistrovství užívá, je to práce od rána do půlnoci.„Moje kolegyně Jana Niklová se mi vždycky směje, protože nejpozději první týden mistrovství už jí volám, že v žádném případě to příště už dělat nebudu. A ona vždycky jenom protočí oči, protože ví, že pak vždycky jedu. Říkala jsem si to už poslední tři roky opravdu vážně a stejně tam vždycky jsem,“ směje se Vymětalíková.Zatímco v národní lize sama nefandí nikomu, národnímu týmu prý drží palce i jako novinářka.„Fandím, ale zase si musím uvědomovat, že jsem tam novinář a musím se ptát na to, co zajímá lidi. Když se daří, tak je to v pohodě, tam se nedostávám do žádného konfliktu s fandovstvím. Když se nedaří, tak ale musím klást otázky, co si klade divák u televize, a to potom samozřejmě nejsem hodná kamarádka,“ říká v Mediálním cirkusu.Na mistrovství přinášela rozhovory s hráči během třetin a po zápase. A sama mluví o tom, že je to speciální disciplína. Zásadní je, jakou položí otázku, jak ji naformuluje, ale nejvíc to, jakého hráče si na rozhovor vybere.Rozhovory se sportovci jsou přitom často terčem různých komických skečů, hlavně kvůli frázím a klišé, které se s nich objevují. Vymětalíková ale říká, že na ty nejslavnější hlášky jako třeba „Tak určitě!“ si už sami hráči dávají pozor.„Robert Záruba říká, že 100 procent špatných otázek je vina reportéra. Já bych ho teda za to čtvrtstoletí poopravila tak 98 procent. Drtivá většina blbých odpovědí přijde po blbé otázce. A mimochodem, ‚tak určitě‘ už hráči moc neříkají, říkají ‚tak samozřejmě‘,“ směje se sportovní reportérka.Kdo ji přemlouval ke komentování hokeje? Proč do toho nechce jít? A kdo z hráčů hokejového nároďáku má nejdelší přestávkové rituály?--Mediální cirkus. Podcast Marie Bastlové o dění na mediální scéně. Zajímá ji pohled do redakcí, za kulisy novinářské práce – s předními novináři i mediálními hráči.Sledujte na Seznam Zprávách, poslouchejte na Podcasty.cz a ve všech podcastových aplikacích.Archiv všech dílů najdete tady.

The regents of University of Florida had already offered Ono the gig, and he had accepted. But the larger governing body - the Board of Governors - rejected that plan as pressure mounted from Republican lawmakers and influential voices decried Ono as too liberal. At the meeting on June 3, 2025, the members of the Board of Governors peppered Ono with questions about his record of support of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. DEI programs have become a target of the Republican Party under President Donald Trump. Ono halted DEI programs at U-M after Trump took office this year. Ono told the board members this week that he stood by his decision to walk away from DEI. "My evolution over the past 18 months or more... has really focused on my personal experience seeing DEI programs - that were started with all good intensions - what impact they've had on campuses," said Ono. Board members also pushed on Ono's handling of pro-Palestinian campus protests, and questioned whether he came out with enough forceful support of Israel in the days after the Oct. 7th attack in 2023. Conversely, many pro-Palestinian supporters on campus and in Ann Arbor railed against Ono while president at U-M for being too supportive of Israel and for continuing university investment in Israeli businesses. The Florida Board of Governors rejected Ono's appointment by a 10-6 vote. It's unclear what Ono will do now. His departure from U-M came after three difficult years, in which the university was challenged on multiple fronts. The reason and manner of Florida’s apparent rejection are also historic, and say a lot about this moment. Today, we’ve invited back Jamal Watson, editor of the online journal, Diverse: Issues in Higher Education to explain what happened and what's next for Ono. Watson is also a Professor of Strategic Communication and Public Relations at Trinity Washington University.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In an unprecedented rebuke of the University of Florida Board of Trustees, the Florida Board of Governors of the university system rejected the hiring of Dr. Santa Ono as new president of UF. The woke policies of Ono's previous Michigan administration sunk his candidacy amid strident opposition from influential state Republicans. The latest on the kickoff of the Tuesday Bob Rose Show

Richard Lintner je bývalý úspešný slovenský hokejista, majster sveta, ktorý má aj svoju televíznu show Citronáda. Richarda jednoducho poznajú nielen fanúšikovia hokeja. Sám o sebe tvrdí, že nie je extra veľkým fanúšikom áut, ale napriek tomu nám v každej odpovedi v rozhovore vyrozprával krásny príbeh. Moderátor Ďuro Sabo preto začal otázkou, na čo všetko má Richard svoj vodičský preukaz.Na čo všetko? Ja mám na motorku do 50 kubických centimetrov a na auto. Nemám na traktor alebo na nákladné auto.(pozn. editora: v súčasnosti možno na vodičské oprávnenie na vozidlá skupiny B šoférovať aj motocykle s automatickou prevodovkou s max. objemom motora 125 cm³ a s max. výkonom 11 kW)Nikdy si nechcel šoférovať autobus alebo niečo podobne veľké?Raz som na parkovisku jazdil na autobuse. To bolo v Rige na majstrovstvách sveta, keď sme čakali na chalanov.Ty ako aktívny hokejista si povedal vodičovi autobusu “Požičaj mi to tu na parkovisku?”Presne tak. Zopár chalanov už bolo v autobuse, tak som ich povozil okolo štadióna. Je to náročnejšie ako sa zdá, ale bavilo ma to. Len to malo jednu chybu. Vždy ma na vodičoch autobusov fascinovalo, ako sa za jazdy pozdravia, keď sa míňajú, ale na tom parkovisku som nemal koho pozdraviť. O túto príležitosť som prišiel.Neviem koľko si mal rokov, keď si odišiel hrať hokej do USA. Kde si si vlastne robil vodičský preukaz? Ja som si robil vodičák v Trenčíne, ale ešte raz som si ho robil aj v Amerike. Boli sme štyria chalani z Európy, robili sme si papiere ako bežní americkí občania, ale musím povedať, že tá pani policajtka nám pri tých testoch pomáhala. Niektoré predpisy sú tam iné ako u nás a boli zhovievaví.V NHL je starosť o hráčov na vysokej úrovni, hráč sa venuje len hokeju a o všetko ostatné sa stará klub. Je to aj pri kúpe auta?Za tie roky sa to už asi zmenilo, ale klub sa o také veci nestará. Je to na hráčoch, že idú do nejakého showroomu. V rámci tímu sú chalani, ktorí sa o autá zaujímajú a tí svojim spoluhráčom pomôžu. Ale mne moje prvé "americké" auto pomohol kúpiť môj agent.Kúpil si si nejaké “žihadlo” alebo bežné auto? Prvé auto, ktoré som mal v Amerike, bol Volkswagen Golf. Kúpil som si takého čierneho a príliš veľa ľudí tam na Golfoch nejazdilo. Zaujímavé je, že Ľubo Bartečko, ktorý bol na farme neďaleko, si kúpil tiež Golfa. Tak sme po Massachusetts jazdili my dvaja na golfíkoch.Ty si spomenul prvé auto, koľko áut si za morom vystriedal?Človek keď postupne mení tímy aj geograficky sa presúva, tak mení aj autá. Potom som mal Jeep, to sme boli v Milwaukee, tam bola zima. A ďalšie auto som mal zas Volkswagen, kúpil som si Passat kombi. Na mojich autách bolo evidentné, že som bol z Európy.V čom si ako mladý šofér mal najväčšiu neistotu pri šoférovaní?Ja som mal neistotu hlavne v tom, že keď som mal prvé auto, tak to auto dobre nebrzdilo. Ono malo taký problém, že keď som prvýkrát stlačil brzdu, tak ona prepadla a chytila sa až na druhýkrát. Keď som prišiel do servisu, tak ten chlapec v servise mi hovorí: „Akoby som vám to povedal pán Lintner. Vy ste neprišli do servisu o päť minút dvanásť, ale vy ste prišli o štvrť na jednu." Čudoval sa, že som bol ešte živý. Odvtedy si dávam pozor na to, aby auto, ktoré mám, bolo v čo najlepšom technickom stave.V minulosti si bol určite manuál a teraz si manuál alebo automat?Na toto mám výbornú príhodu. V Amerike po Passate som kupoval ďalšie auto, znova to bol VW, v New Yorku som si kúpil Volkswagen Jetta a kúpil som si ho ako manuál. To bolo asi jediné auto v celom New York City, ktoré jazdilo na manuál, hlavne v tých zápchach, ktoré tam boli. A myslím si, že toho predajcu, ktorý mi to auto predal, určite vyhlásili ako predajcu mesiaca,...

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: Zacarias 4:4-10 Plano De Leitura Anual: 2 Crônicas 1–3; João 10:1-23 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: Será que chego às Olimpíadas? A jovem nadadora estava preocupada com a sua baixa velocidade. Mas quando o seu professor, Ken Ono, analisou a técnica dela, descobriu como ajudá-la a melhorar o seu tempo em seis segundos, diferença importante nesse nível de disputa. Com o sensor tecnológico colocado nas costas da atleta, ele não conseguiu identificar como melhorar a performance. Em vez disso, Ono identificou pequenas correções que, se aplicadas, tornariam a atleta mais eficiente na água e fariam a diferença para ela alcançar a vitória. Em assuntos espirituais, pequenas correções também fazem uma grande diferença. O profeta Zacarias ensinou um princípio parecido ao grupo de judeus remanescente, que estava desencorajado e lutando para reconstruir o templo de Deus, após o exílio. O Senhor disse a Zorobabel, o líder da reconstrução: “Não por força, nem por poder, mas pelo meu Espírito, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos” (ZACARIAS 4:6). Como Zacarias declarou, “Não desprezem os começos humildes” (v.10). Os exilados temiam que o templo jamais atingisse a glória do templo do rei Salomão. Mas, assim como aquela atleta conseguiu ser medalhista, os construtores de Zorobabel aprenderam que seus pequenos esforços, quando glorificavam a Deus, podiam trazer a alegria da vitória com a ajuda do Senhor. Em Deus, o pequeno se torna grandioso. Por: PATRICIA RAYBON

Things Discussed: Michigan vs Georgia recruitments revisited: things have definitely changed. We had to move heaven and Earth to get Will Johnson and that was a legacy. Sam shares a story that Harbaugh promised he was gonna be here and that got Will to pump the breaks on a USC-Ohio State decision. Remembering DJ Turner's recruitment. Yaxel? Is doing well at the combine. Think Michigan visit changed his mindset from "Michigan has to match" to "NBA has to match," but there's a very good chance that happens. Difference between early 2nd round and late 1st round isn't just money but end of the 1st round is where you find the best organizations, whereas early 2nd round could mean going to Phoenix. If a team promises they'll draft him in the late 1st he's gotta take it. If Yaxel comes: Big Ten PoY? In the conversation. Wolf-/Tonje-level impact. Forest view: plan on this happening every year, because one player can put you over the top and one way to get that one player is to get the best player in the country who's not in the NBA Draft. Speaking of best player in the country who's not in his draft…there's a LOT of positivity inside Michigan about Gavin McKenna. What does Gavin McKenna mean, non-hockey fans? He's the consensus #1 player in the Draft and in that tier with Connor McDavid, Eric Lindros, Mario Lemieux and Alexander Ovechkin where the franchise that gets him is instantly the team with that guy (Only tier higher than that is Crosby, Gretzky). Why is McKenna going to college? These guys used to play Canadian juniors, but that's a long season in a small town for money that Michigan could match, and for a player who's already guaranteed to be a top-5 pick there's no reason to slog through that when the Big Ten these days has higher competition. The example here is John Tavares, who was the CHL rookie of the year in 2005-06 and player of the year in 2006-07, and was the obvious #1 pick in the 2008 Draft then had to go back to the CHL for another year to no purpose. College gives that guy a step up in competition, a year in Ann Arbor instead of Oshawa, and the connections and future you get from association with a university. For us, that would make Michigan a focus of the hockey world for a year, and the rest of McKenna's career they'd be like "guy from Michigan." Meta discussion on last week's episode and politics based on the (overwhelmingly positive) responses we got from last week: We aren't planning to talk about partisan and identity politics that much going forward—there are certain instances when it's topical and we can't ignore it (e.g. Ono's departure), but mostly we choose to talk about ideas and values, and when they're not politicized nobody notices the politics. Penn State > Ohio State this year? We don't believe in Drew Allar. Ohio State's culture is clearly working for them.

Iz sfere o kojoj se u Srbiji najčešće govori u frazama i zaklonima “tradicije”, teolozi Milićević i Pantelić pokušavaju da precizno sagledaju stanje crkvenih i državnih institucija, zarobljenih u sopstvenom oportunizmu. Kako primećuje Blagoje Pantelić, upravo pred sutrašnji početak Sabora SPC otvara se prilika da se pokrene i istraga o kanonskoj i moralnoj odgovornosti samog patrijarha. U novoj epizodi Radar Foruma, domaćin Vukašin Milićević, teolog i predsednik Fondacije "Ljuba Davidović", ugostio je kolegu, teologa Blagoja Pantelića. Sagovornici pokreću pitanje sekularnosti koje prestaje da bude politička tema i postaje pitanje moralnog preživljavanja. Umesto jasnog razgraničenja nadležnosti, Srbija svedoči simbiozi crkvenih i državnih struktura moći, u kojoj su verski autoriteti postali produžena ruka autoritarnog režima. I dok se zvanična crkvena retorika utapa u, kako kažu, floskule o očuvanju tradicionalnih vrednosti, stvarnost priča drugu priču. Pantelić to formuliše bez uvijanja. „Ono što imamo trenutno u državi, najprostije govoreći, imamo jednu grupu ljudi koja pokušava da državni, narodni novac učini privatnim novcem, svojim. U crkvi imamo nešto slično - jednu grupu ljudi koja crkveni novac želi da učini privatnim novcem. Zato će oni bez problema stati uz ovaj režim, jer im to omogućava jedan lagodan život, ozbiljne izvore prihoda.“ Svi pogledi sada su usmereni ka predstojećem Saboru Srpske pravoslavne crkve, zakazanom za sutra, na kojem bi, barem teoretski, mogla da se pokrene ozbiljna rasprava o ovim problemima. „Većina njih se plaši tzv. dvoglavog crkvenog vrha i njima se najviše isplati da dođu u Beograd, budu tu pet dana, odu na ručak kod predsednika, spakuju se i vrate se svojim kućama, eparhijama i - nikom ništa. Da li će se sada to ponoviti? Ne znam, nadam se da neće. Postoji materijal za ozbiljnu istragu o delovanju patrijarha. Nadam se da postoji broj ljudi, broj episkopa, koji će imati hrabrost i da ustanu. Ja verujem da ima”, optimističan je Pantelić.

Ono acted weak in the face of the Trump Regime's threats while also going after Pro-Palestinian student protesters. And sadly, Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel went along with it by charging seven of those students. Although, she dropped all charges this week. Pat also covers how MAGA is echoing Dear Leader's "sacrifice" mantra even though that message was never pushed during the election. 20:02-38:06: ProPublica's Anna Clark Interview Anna Clark from ProPublica talks about her article on how Trump & Musk have been busy gutting the funding for the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab in Michigan. The Lab provides research and solutions for dangerous algae bloom in the lakes, invasive species entering the lakes, and continued clean drinking water. The Lab's work helps all of the coastal towns that reside, and rely on, the Great Lakes! This is part of the Trump Regime's anti-science movement that was all spelled-out in The Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025."  38:07-42:43: Last Call-Republicans Attack Farmers Pat's "Last Call" covers how the extreme MAGA Michigan Republican House majority passed a bill last week that would repeal a farmer's right to use their land for large wind and solar farms. What happened to the days of Republicans fighting for property rights? And why are they fighting to block farmers from making money while helping the state's move towards becoming carbon-neutral?

05/04/2025 Rev. Paul Bang Nehemiah 7:5-73     5 Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it: 6 These were the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his town. 7 They came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: 8 the sons of Parosh, 2,172. 9 The sons of Shephatiah, 372. 10 The sons of Arah, 652. 11 The sons of Pahath-moab, namely the sons of Jeshua and Joab, 2,818. 12 The sons of Elam, 1,254. 13 The sons of Zattu, 845. 14 The sons of Zaccai, 760. 15 The sons of Binnui, 648. 16 The sons of Bebai, 628. 17 The sons of Azgad, 2,322. 18 The sons of Adonikam, 667. 19 The sons of Bigvai, 2,067. 20 The sons of Adin, 655. 21 The sons of Ater, namely of Hezekiah, 98. 22 The sons of Hashum, 328. 23 The sons of Bezai, 324. 24 The sons of Hariph, 112. 25 The sons of Gibeon, 95. 26 The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, 188. 27 The men of Anathoth, 128. 28 The men of Beth-azmaveth, 42. 29 The men of Kiriath-jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, 743. 30 The men of Ramah and Geba, 621. 31 The men of Michmas, 122. 32 The men of Bethel and Ai, 123. 33 The men of the other Nebo, 52. 34 The sons of the other Elam, 1,254. 35 The sons of Harim, 320. 36 The sons of Jericho, 345. 37 The sons of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, 721. 38 The sons of Senaah, 3,930. 39 The priests: the sons of Jedaiah, namely the house of Jeshua, 973. 40 The sons of Immer, 1,052. 41 The sons of Pashhur, 1,247. 42 The sons of Harim, 1,017. 43 The Levites: the sons of Jeshua, namely of Kadmiel of the sons of Hodevah, 74. 44 The singers: the sons of Asaph, 148. 45 The gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum, the sons of Ater, the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hatita, the sons of Shobai, 138. 46 The temple servants: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, 47 the sons of Keros, the sons of Sia, the sons of Padon, 48 the sons of Lebana, the sons of Hagaba, the sons of Shalmai, 49 the sons of Hanan, the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, 50 the sons of Reaiah, the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda, 51 the sons of Gazzam, the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah, 52 the sons of Besai, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephushesim, 53 the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur, 54 the sons of Bazlith, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha, 55 the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Temah, 56 the sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha. 57 The sons of Solomon's servants: the sons of Sotai, the sons of Sophereth, the sons of Perida, 58 the sons of Jaala, the sons of Darkon, the sons of Giddel, 59 the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Pochereth-hazzebaim, the sons of Amon. 60 All the temple servants and the sons of Solomon's servants were 392. 61 The following were those who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not prove their fathers' houses nor their descent, whether they belonged to Israel: 62 the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda, 642. 63 Also, of the priests: the sons of Hobaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai (who had taken a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name). 64 These sought their registration among those enrolled in the genealogies, but it was not found there, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean. 65 The governor told them that they were not to partake of the most holy food until a priest with Urim and Thummim should arise. 66 The whole assembly together was 42,360, 67 besides their male and female servants, of whom there were 7,337. And they had 245 singers, male and female. 68 Their horses were 736, their mules 245, 69 their camels 435, and their donkeys 6,720. 70 Now some of the heads of fathers' houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 basins, 30 priests' garments and 500 minas of silver. 71 And some of the heads of fathers' houses gave into the treasury of the work 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver. 72 And what the rest of the people gave was 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priests' garments. 73 So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel, lived in their towns. And when the seventh month had come, the people of Israel were in their towns.

In 1971, John Lennon performed publicly, for the first time in five years, at a rally decrying the injustice of Michigan police targeting a radical political activist for an elaborate undercover sting operation, resulting in a sentence of ten years in prison for passing two joints. The concert brought massive media attention, and John Sinclair soon after walked out of prison a free man, landing John Lennon on Richard Nixon's official enemies list. For the next three years, the President's "plumbers" harassed the former Beatle and his wife Yoko Ono, while the INS threatened him with deportation over an old hashish bust back in England. Meanwhile the FBI tapped his phones and sent agents to tail his every move. Lennon, Ono, and their legal team fought them every step, and along the way created a new legal precedent in immigration law that still stands as today's DREAM act.

April 23, 2025 ~ Nolan Finley, Editorial Page Editor at the Detroit News discusses news that Elon Musk will step back for DOGE, Donald Trump says he has no plans to fire Jerome Powell and UM Regents pressuring President Ono to defy Donald Trump.

LA Mayor Karen Bass has released her next budget. To help close a massive deficit, the city may have to lay off around 5% of the city workforce. LA’s Japanese American National Museum is refusing to follow the Trump administration’s orders to end DEI efforts. Now it's at risk of losing $2 million of federal funding. The documentary “One to One” follows John Lennon and Yoko Ono through a tumultuous period in their lives and American politics, reassessing Ono’s artistry and her influence on Lennon.  YouTube turns 20 this year. The popular video site democratized content on the web, but also inflamed culture wars, radicalized users, and further polarized an already divided society.

Važno je da ljudi učine sve da održe porodicu, ali kad shvate da će biti srećniji odvojeni, onda treba da se raziđu, jer to je bolja opcija i za dete, priča gošća Mamazjanije i mama jedne Senje, Ivana Marinković “Frajerka”, koja je doktor filoloških nauka, zaposlena u Institutu za srpski jezik SANU, organizatorka venčanja, influenserka, a uz sve to, naglašava, uvek ima vremena za sebe i za svoje dete. Ivana se tokom razgovora osvrnula na bolne periode kada je pokušavala da održi i iznese trudnoću, ali, nažalost, nije uspevala. "Imala sam vanmateričnu trudnoću, potom i sponatni, a kad sam treći put ostala trudna, ležala sam dva meseca u bolnici. Hospitalizovana sam kad sam bila tek u petoj nedelji. Imam utisak da sam uspela, jer sam 'pustila', odnosno konačno sam se opustila i rekla sebi, ‘šta bude, biće'. Takođe sam se obraćala i bebi u sebi, i rekla joj da i ona mora malo da poradi na ovome", kroz osmeh priča Ivana. Ona je danas ponosna mama devetogodišnje Senje kojoj posvećuje najveći deo svog slobodnog vremena. "Imala sam neke poslovne ponude, ali sam ih odbila jer želim da provodim više vremena sa ćerkom dok je još mala. Aktivnost na mrežama je išla tom putanjom da mi oduzme dosta vremena, a već radim u Institutu i bavim se organizacijom venčanja i to je sve zajedno mnogo posla". Dodaje da kad ne radi i nije sa ćerkom, voli i sebi da udovolji, da se opusti i napuni baterije. "Bar pola sata dnevno odvojim samo za sebe, da izađem negde i popijem kafu. Mislim da je jako važno da žena bude ostvarena i zadovoljna da bi bila dobra mama", kaže Ivana. Nakon borbe da održi trudnoću, iz koje je stigla Senja, nažalost, došlo je do razvoda. "Ona je bila mala, a mi smo odlučili da se rastanemo. To nikad nije lako. Čovek sve čini da mu se porodica ne raspadne, nije to samo dvoje ljudi koji se razilaze, to je rascep porodice, a okolina krivicu uvek nekako svaljuje na ženu. Svakako, ne kajem se, jer mislim da je za dete daleko bolje da bude sa roditeljima koji su odvojeni, a srećni, nego da živi u disfunkcionalnoj zajednici", objašnjava Ivana. Opisuje i kako je ćerki dosta pomogla psihoterapija da prebrodi težak period. "Kad smo joj zajedno saopštili, počela je da se smeje, ali to je delovalo kao odbrambeni mehanizam deteta koje ne može odmah da prihvati tako drastičnu promenu", priča naša gošća. Ono što je problem su ljudi, koji i danas, u 21. veku, stigmatizuju samohrane majke. “Doživljavamo da u centru Beograda stičeš utisak da bi lakše prihvatili da žena, majka, ima pored sebe bilo kakvog muškarca, makar i onog koji je bije, samo da nije sama. Da je tu ta muška figura, kakva god i to je prosto neverovatno”, naglašava Ivana. U razgovoru je navela da ćerki pruža dosta slobode i da nije helikopter mama. “Ima nekih ljudi koji kažu da je 'nestašna', jer se popela na drvo, a ona je samo živahno dete, puno energije i deca treba da budu napolju, a ne da sede sa tabletom po ceo dan. Dogovorile smo se da može da koristi tablet pola sata radnim danima i sat vremena kad ne ide u školu. Za sad nekako uspeva, ali videćemo koliko će potrajati. Svakako, ono što želimo da naša deca budu i kako želimo da žive i da se ponašaju, treba mi prvo da pokažemo, jer je naš model taj na koji se ugledaju”, zaključuje Ivana “Frajerka”.

Kevin Macdonald's latest documentary, One To One: John & Yoko, is out now in cinemas around the UK, folks, and it's well worth your time for anyone with even a passing interest in John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, and their lives after The Beatles split up. But if you're a Beatlemaniac, this is manna from heaven as it not only brings you remastered footage of the One To One benefit concerts that Lennon and Ono performed at Madison Square Garden in 1972 (the only full-length concerts Lennon performed after leaving The Beatles), but also a glimpse into their lives and personal dynamic, courtesy of some incredible archive footage (video and audio). It also paints a portrait of the year 1972, and the political maelstrom that was swirling across America at the time. In this interview special, Chris Hewitt sits down on Zoom with Macdonald for a deep dive into how and why he made the film, and much, much more, including a little chat about The Runner, the action film Macdonald is just about to start directing any day now. Enjoy.

"One To One: John & Yoko" had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and went on to screen at the Telluride and Sundance Film Festivals, receiving strong reviews for its audio mastering of the concert footage and recording tapes featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Co-directed by Kevin Macdonald and Sam Rice-Edwards, the follows the couple of years Lennon and Ono spent in their Greenwich Village apartment while also tracing developments in American politics like the presidency of Richard Nixon and opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War, culminating in their "One to One" benefit concert for the children at Willowbrook. Macdonald was kind enough to speak with me about his work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open exclusively in IMAX theaters on April 11th, before expanding to more markets from Magnolia Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy!

Nije normalno da mame postižu sve svakoga dana, rastrzane smo, a potrebno je da imamo vremena za sebe, priča u novoj Mamazjaniji influenserka Aleksandra Golijan, poznatija na mrežama kao „Nanamamasita“, koja je mama tri devojčice, a uči ih da su jedna drugoj najbolje drugarice i najveće bogatstvo - i sa kojima nikad nije dosadno. Kod Aleksandre u kući, dinamike, buke, pitanja, odgovora, razgovora, druženja, ne nedostaje, sa tri devojčice, koje neretko okupljaju i svoje drugarice, pa žurka ne prestaje. „Njihove drugarice su često kod nas, ostaju i da prespavaju, pa je to zabava bez prestanka, ali navikli smo na gužvu, tako da dok su dobre i lepo se zabavljaju ništa nije teško. Osim, što kad završe sa igrom, neko mora da raskloni haos“, uz osmeh priča Aleksandra. U dvadesetim godinama rodila je sve tri ćerke i kaže da je to nešto najbolje što je u životu uradila, jer danas je mlada mama, a one su već velike i mogu da se druže, putuju, bez nervoze i premora. „Rodila sam prvu ćerku sa 22, kroz par godina drugu, a uskoro i treću. Sa drugim detetom je teže, a sa trećim nije uopšte bilo lako, jer sam bila baš umorna. Ipak, drago mi je što sam bila mlada, iako ne mislim da je to najvažnije. Na dete se odlučujete kad imate pravog partnera, osobu sa kojom želite da imate decu, bez obzira na godine“, kaže naša gošća. Za decu je presudan model koji im pružamo, kao i međusobni odnos roditelja, ističe ona. „Deca su ogledalo kuće i života i ponašanja roditelja. Mi smo smireni, tolerantni, trudimo se da ne budemo nervozni, napeti sa decom, da na njih ne prenosimo loše raspoloženje, jer to je način da odrastaju u zdrave ljude“. Škola jeste važna, ali nije najvažnija. „Jednom me je najstarija ćerka slagala za ocenu i rasplakala sam se. Sebe sam iznenadila takvom reakcijom, ali nisam je očekivala, niti od nje da me slaže. To se više nije ponovilo. Čudno je zato što ih učm baš da ocene nisu najvažnije, već društvo u kojem se nalaze jer to je neki temelj za srećan život, pre nego uspeh u školi, koji ne garantuje i uspeh u životu“, priča Aleksandra. U eri interneta i njenog rada, koji pratimo na Instagramu, teško je decu odvojiti od telefona, ali ona, ipak, nekako uspeva. „Ne provode previše vremena na mrežama, uče, izlaze napolje, bave se sportom, tako da sa ograničavanjem vremena na telefonu nemamo problem. Ono što se, inače, često vidi na Instagramu nije realna slika života. Ima žena koje se snimaju kako se bude u tri ujutru ili u pet, pa treniraju, spremaju hranu, bude decu u zoru, a ona kao ustaju bez problema. Kad to vidite, znate da nešto nije u redu. Ipak, ko stvarno može tako i nije mu teret, svaka čast“, objašnjava Aleksandra. Ćerke uči da jedna drugoj treba da budu najbolje drugarice i da je to što imaju jedna drugu neprocenjivo bogatstvo. „Uvek sam želela sestru, a evo sad imam tri ćerke koje su moj najveći životni uspeh i želim da budu svesne koliko su srećne što imaju jedna drugu. Tome ih učim, kao što one mene uče da budem dosledna, strpljiva i prenose mi neke kvalitete i osobine, koje pre njih nisam posedovala, a i od dece ponekad treba učiti“, zaključuje Aleksandra.

3/30/2025 Paul Bang Nehemiah 6:1-14 6 Now when Sanballat and Tobiah and Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it (although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates), 2 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to do me harm. 3 And I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” 4 And they sent to me four times in this way, and I answered them in the same manner. 5 In the same way Sanballat for the fifth time sent his servant to me with an open letter in his hand. 6 In it was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Geshem also says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel; that is why you are building the wall. And according to these reports you wish to become their king. 7 And you have also set up prophets to proclaim concerning you in Jerusalem, ‘There is a king in Judah.' And now the king will hear of these reports. So now come and let us take counsel together.” 8 Then I sent to him, saying, “No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind.” 9 For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done.” But now, O God, strengthen my hands. 10 Now when I went into the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his home, he said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple. Let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you. They are coming to kill you by night.” 11 But I said, “Should such a man as I run away? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live? I will not go in.” 12 And I understood and saw that God had not sent him, but he had pronounced the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 13 For this purpose he was hired, that I should be afraid and act in this way and sin, and so they could give me a bad name in order to taunt me. 14 Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, O my God, according to these things that they did, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who wanted to make me afraid.

Český rozhlas má novou moderátorskou posilu. Od března v něm pracuje Světlana Witowská, která dvakrát týdně moderuje pořad Osobnost Plus. „Když jsem poprvé vysílala, tak jsem normálně měla trému,“ říká Witowská v podcastu Mediální Cirkus.Světlana Witowská přišla na Český rozhlas Plus z Aktuálně.cz, kde dva roky dělala rozhovory. Práci změnila v okamžiku, kdy do Aktuálně přišel nový šéfredaktor Matyáš Zrno.„My jsme nemohli mít ani moc názorové střety, protože jsme se tam téměř minuli. Měla jsem obavy o to, že to bude směřovat někam, kde toho nechci být účastná a měla jsem asi i jinou představu o tom, jak tvořit pořad typu Spotlight, ve kterém jsem pracovala. Protože jsem chtěla, aby tam byl dramaturg nebo dramaturgyně, aby to mělo nějaká pravidla. Já si  pořád myslím, že novinařina se má dělat pořádně. Mají se dodržovat nějaká novinářská pravidla,“ popisuje důvody svého odchodu moderátorka.Český rozhlas Plus si jako nové působiště vybrala kvůli šéfredaktorovi Josefu Pazderkovi a taky prý proto, že vlastně neměla moc kam jinam jít.„Okruh médií, kde bych chtěla pracovat a kde by o mě stáli, už vlastně není moc široký. A kdybych neměla možnost jít do Českého rozhlasu, tak jsem si říkala, že budu dělat něco úplně jiného. Normálně jsem si hledala v Annonci volná místa, dokonce jsem si našla i  jednu kavárnu tady na Smíchově, hledali tam někoho na nějaký půl úvazek, tak jsem si říkala, že možná půjdu dělat do kavárny,“ vypráví Witowská.Do kavárny ale nešla a místo toho od začátku března dvakrát týdně moderuje pořad Osobnost Plus, kde doplnila moderátorku Barboru Tachecí.„Když jsem včera poprvé vysílala, tak jsem normálně měla trému. Fakt. Já jí mám vždycky trochu, ale včera mi normálně bušilo srdce a říkala jsem si, co se mi to stalo. Ono je to úplně něco jiného, když sedíš jenom u toho mikrofonu a základní vjem je poslouchat. A já spoustu věcí odehraju před kamerou, dokážeš to doplnit gesty, tím, jak se zatváříš něco. A najednou máš jenom ten mikrofon,“ vypráví se smíchem o rozhlasovém studiu.Veřejnoprávnost mám v soběWitowská se proslavila hlavně na obrazovce České televize, kde mnoho let moderovala rozhovory v pořadu Interview Čt24, Události nebo Události, komentáře. Její nejslavnější kousky byly rozhovor s Andrejem Babišem a především prezidentská debata mezi Milošem Zemanem a Jiřím Drahošem v roce 2018.„V České televizi, ve veřejnoprávním médiu některé věci dělat musíš, protože musíš vyvažovat politické strany, hlídat, aby byly zastoupeny ve vysílání. Někteří hosté ale prostě nikdy nepřijdou a nikdy nepřišli. A v ČT si s tím nemusíš lámat hlavu a prostě to musíš nějakým způsobem vyvážit,“ vysvětluje Witowská.Veřejnoprávnost je specifikum médií jako Česká televize nebo Český rozhlas. Novináři v  nich musí pokrývat celé spektrum relevantních politických sil, musí být zásadně apolitičtí a nestranní. „Mám veřejnoprávnost v sobě, nikdy jsem nevykročila z mezí. A tím, že to mám tak pod kůží, tak si myslím, že ten návrat k veřejnoprávnosti pro mě není problém,“ říká.„V Českém rozhlase mi řekli, že předpokládají, že budou nějaké otázky, už tam, myslím, přišla i nějaká žádost podle zákona číslo 106, jakou mám smlouvu. Já mám teda externí smlouvu a myslím si, že moje práce a moje osobní integrita nebyla narušená ani tím, že jsem si v době, kdy jsem nebyla zaměstnaná, na sebe vzala flanelovou košili. Navíc já ji  opravdu nosím i normálně a taky v ní spím,“ vysvětluje s odkazem na oblíbené oblečení prezidenta Petra Pavla.--Mediální cirkus. Podcast Marie Bastlové o dění na mediální scéně.

EP 117This weeks guest is Marissa Simon from Mission *NSYNC. She and I discuss the one year anniversary of that magical night, when *NSYNC reunited on stage to perform at Justin's ONO show in LA. We also discuss how special this *NSYNC fandom is, and speculate on possible reunion scenarios.

Social Discipline is incredibly excited to present the adventurous life of Jeff Perkins, a hidden gem of the American underground. This massive five-hour podcast, recorded in Berlin in June 2024, explores his fascinating journey—no one else can claim to have performed for Yoko Ono and John Cage, created legendary light shows with The Velvet Underground, Sly and the Family Stone, and The Germs, programmed the first Kenneth Anger retrospective in L.A., and encountered both Charles Manson and members of the satanic cult The Process. Jeff joined the military in the 1960s and was stationed in Tokyo, where he met Yoko Ono in the early '60s. He began performing some of her pieces there and later in New York. Perkins also filmed Ono's classic Film No. 4 (Bottoms), a Fluxus work. His first independent contribution to the Fluxfilm Anthology was Shout. He was at the heart of the 1960s New York avant-garde scene, surrounded by figures like La Monte Young, Jack Smith, and Angus MacLise. In January 1967, Perkins moved to Los Angeles, where he worked as a programmer at Cinematheque 16. Influenced by Tony Conrad's The Flicker, he began producing powerful light shows and collaborated with bands throughout the '60s and '70s—ranging from The Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Grateful Dead to the punk scene with X and The Germs. He even refused to do a show for the Sex Pistols due to a disagreement with the promoter. Perkins was a close friend of Terry Jennings and, in fact, entrusted his archive to La Monte Young. While in L.A., he was neighbors with the artist James Turrell. In 1980, Perkins moved back to New York and started a loft project just a block away from Ground Zero, reminiscent of George Maciunas' artist loft spaces. To finance it, he worked as a cab driver. He remained deeply connected to cinema, particularly through Anthology Film Archives, where he proposed a John Cassavetes retrospective to Jonas Mekas and later became a manager. In 1994, Nam June Paik—who coined the term “The Fluxus cab driver” for Perkins—invited him to perform at Anthology Film Archives in a homage to Yoko Ono. His performance, Butthead, was a great success. His legendary loft became a hub where one could easily encounter visiting filmmakers like Pedro Costa and Albert Serra. In 1989, Perkins organized a series of lectures at Anthology Film Archives with Henry Flynt and Tony Conrad, reuniting the two after years of estrangement. Flynt would become a lifelong friend. In 2008, during the financial crisis, when I lived with Jeff, we organized a series of four-hour lectures by Flynt in the loft's kitchen, focusing on the crisis and communist economics. I vividly remember Tony Conrad attending one of them in his elegant pajamas. Perkins has directed two critically acclaimed films—one on abstract painter Sam Francis and another on the legendary Fluxus figure George Maciunas. He is currently finishing editing a film about Henry Flynt in Berlin. This podcast concludes with an excerpt from his piece Movies for the Blind, which features recordings of conversations with passengers from his time as a New York cab driver.

Mislili smo da nove generacije ne znaju za patriotizam, a onda ih čujemo kako pevaju himnu, solidarni i jedinstveni, kaže Jelena Mitić, psihloškinja i nastavnica psihologije u Trinaestoj beogradskoj gimnaziji, ali i mama jedne studentkinje i jedne srednjoškolke, koja u novoj epizodi Mamazjanije govori o aktuelnoj situaciji u školstvu iz ugla profesorke. Činjenica je da školski sistem radi pod neuobičajenim okolnostima i da je svima teško, jer nijedna borba nije laka. „Teško je nama nastavnicima, studentima, učenicima, roditeljima, ali ovo je prvi put, bar da ja znam, a radim u prosveti dve decenije, da smo svi u simbiozi, ujedinjeni oko istog cilja“, kaže profesorka Mitić. Od generacija koje su pokazale izuzetnu solidarnost, empatiju, inteligenciju i volju, nismo mnogo očekivali, a oni su nas demantovali i nastavljaju to da rade. „Gledali smo ih sa tim telefonima, delovali su egocentrično, zainteresovani samo sa sopstvene interese, i da sve u životu završe što brže i lakše. Evo, ja rođenoj ćerki moram da kažem da pokupi veš, a očekujem da sama vidi šta treba da uradi u kući. E, to je bilo ranije, sad zna, sad joj je jasno kako izgleda preuzeti stvari u svoje ruke. Ovo je zato velika škola za našu decu, uče jedni od drugih, a uče i nas odrasle kako se sistem dovodi u red i to je neverovatno“, naglašava Jelena. Roditelji brinu više o tome gde će i kako ostaviti decu, naročito ako su još u osnovnoj školi, nego što brinu zbog gubitka nastave. „Većina roditelja nas podržava, pitaju kako da pomognu, šta da urade. Oni su više zabrinuti zbog dece koja bez nadzora sede kod kuće sa telefonima, igricama, nego zbog toga što gube nastavu. Zato mojim đacima pišem na grupi da svakoga dana vežbaju matematiku, nauče neke nove strane reči, da se organizuju i sami prate gradivo koliko mogu“, priča naša gošća. Organizacija i odnos prema aktuelnim dešavanjima, snalaženje u „vanrednim okolnostima“ u kakvim se trenutno nalazi naše društvo, delimično pripisujemo nasleđu. „Mi smo bili deca koja su pamtila ratove, krize, naši protesti bili su drugačiji, ali smo postavili neki temelj bunta, želje za promenama, još smo ti isti ljudi, a naša deca nose taj duh u sebi. On ih tera da se bore za pravdu i slobodu. Ono što je ključno je da hoće da ostanu ovde i zato je njihov cilj da promene sistem u državi i vrednosti koje su se godinama okretale naopako“. Ima dece sa strepnjama, koji se plaše zbog gubitka vremena. „Pohvalno je što ima dece koja žele sve da nauče i završe u roku, ambiciji uvek treba pružiti podršku, a posebno je teško maturantima koji već spremaju maturske ispite. Ipak svi oni razumeju da moramo da izdržimo, da ne posustanemo, a kako ćemo rešiti propušteno gradivo dogovorićemo se, to je najmanji problem, jer vremena imamo“, kaže uz ohrabrujući osmeh ova nastavnica. Ništa nije izgubljeno i sve se može nadoknaditi. „Pandemija i razne krize u kojima su se propuštale godine, naučile su nas da je nastava uvek nadoknadiva i mi ćemo učniti sve što je u našoj moći da deca ne pate i da njima bude dobro, da ne trpe posledice. Prosveta je toliko dugo urušavana i toliko dugo smo pokušavali nešto da promenimo, ali očigledno nije bilo moguće bez pomoći naših đaka“, zaključuje Jelena.

Patří k lidem, kteří mají dobře rozmyšlené, co a jak chtějí dělat. A zároveň jim to vychází. Petr Mára má prostě dobrou značku. Skoro se nabízí srovnat ho se značku Apple, s kterou je po větší část své kariéry spojený. Je drahý, ale to, co nabízí, je v největší kvalitě. I o tom jsme mluvili.A taky o tom, co si Petr Mára myslí o Elonu Muskovi, v čem je optimista a z čeho má naopak trochu obavy, nebo jaká budoucnost čeká automobily (nápověda: elektrická, ale ta vonící benzínem úplně nezmizí).Sešli jsme se v holešovické Knihovně Čermáka a Staňka, kde v místnosti voní popcorn a kde si ke sledování můžete dát drink nebo kávu. Živě natáčené rozhovory jsou trochu jiné než ty, které vznikají jen ve dvou ve studiu. Jsou méně intimní, ale zase více spontánní.Příjemný poslech!Jako obvykle si můžete přečíst anotaci, kterou podle záznamu napsala AI (jazyk Claude 3.5 Sonnet).Evropa jako safari pro bohaté Američany? Možná to není špatná budoucnostPetr Mára, enfant terrible české technologické scény, který se paradoxně nikdy nenaučil pořádně programovat, o svých začátcích říká: "Byl jsem v programování strašně špatnej. Což není dobré, když tě baví technologie. Vyřešil jsem to tím, že jsem o technologiích začal vyprávět ostatním.”Tohle upřímné přiznání vlastní nedostatečnosti se stalo základem jeho pozdějšího úspěchu. Jak se ukázalo, byla to cesta správným směrem. Dnes, ve svých 47 letech, patří k nejvlivnějším hlasům české digitální scény."Když Apple přišel na český trh, hledali někoho, kdo jim tady bude školit personál. Ono tady nikdo nebyl," vzpomíná s pobaveným výrazem. "Měl jsem call s vedením v Londýně, kde se mě ptali na rozdíl mezi upsellem a crossellem. Říkám, vůbec netuším. On odpověděl: 'Skvělý!' a vzali mě."Márův příběh je fascinující právě svou nelinearitou. Ve věku, kdy většina lidí už má jasno o své kariérní dráze, prožil moment prozření. "Kolem 39 let tě přepadne takový to prozření prostě kolem středního věku," říká. "Řekneš si, ty vole, to je blbý, co já budu dělat. Teď přichází ta mladá generace, budu irelevantní..."Místo krize středního věku však následovala transformace. Mára se vrhl na YouTube, původně jen jako způsob, jak zůstat viditelný. Dnes má přes 200 000 sledujících a jeho vliv daleko přesahuje hranice technologického světa."Nejdřív jsme byli lidé, pak jsme se z lidí stali roboty a teď se možná zpátky staneme zase lidmi," volně cituje tweet, který podle něj vystihuje současnou transformaci společnosti. Je to provokativní myšlenka - že právě vrchol technologického pokroku by mohl vést k návratu k naší větší “lidskosti”.Márova vize budoucnosti Evropy je stejně neortodoxní. Zatímco mnozí se obávají zaostávání za USA a Čínou, on to nerozporuje, ale snaží se i v tom najít nějakou výhodu. "Možná se staneme místem, kam budou bohatí Američani jezdit jako na safari. Užívat si pomalejší životní styl," říká. "A možná to není vůbec špatnej scénář."V době, kdy technologický diskurz často sklouzává k jednostranným vizím budoucnosti, Mára nabízí mnohem komplexnější pohled. Je technologickým optimistou, který si zachovává hluboce lidský rozměr. "Jsem přeučený introvert," říká o sobě. Na otázku, zda bude svět za deset let lepší nebo horší, odpovídá bez zaváhání: "Bude lepší." V tom se asi i skrývá celá podstata Márova pohledu na svět - optimismus není naivitou, ale vědomou volbou perspektivy.

Last time we spoke about the Ishiwara Kanji. Born in 1889 in Japan, Kanji Ishiwara was the son of a policeman from a samurai lineage. He entered military training at 13, rising through the ranks to become a Major and a respected lecturer. His unconventional views on military strategy and history led him to predict a prolonged conflict with the United States. Deeply influenced by Nichiren Buddhism, he envisioned Japan as a moral leader destined to guide Asia, advocating for reform in China while grappling with his nation's imperial ambitions. In 1928, ishiwara fell ill with influenza, leading to a six-month hospitalization. During recovery, he joined an elite study group discussing war theories. His lectures on total war gained fame, culminating in a presentation to Kwantung officers. Amid rising tensions in Japan, he advocated for control over Manchuria, believing Japan had a moral duty to stabilize China. His theories on warfare, including the devastating potential of airpower, foreshadowed the horrors of future conflicts, influencing Japan's military strategies.   #137 Ishiwara Kanji Part 2: The Mukden Incident Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War.   For the next two and a half years, Ishiwara and Itagaki collaborated with other members of the Kwantung Army to address what they perceived as the Manchurian issue. By the mid-1930s, the belief that Manchuria needed to be forcibly seized had become the prevailing opinion among the Kwantung Army. Ishiwara was convinced that Japan could no longer remain passive in Manchuria, as each passing day meant Japan was gradually losing its rights and interests in the region to China, risking expulsion. Abandoning Manchuria would be a national catastrophe, resulting in the loss of a crucial buffer state, valuable resources, and land for Japan's growing population to settle. In essence, Manchuria was vital for Japan's survival and growth. Ishiwara would often say “manchuria provides Japan with breathing space” where have we heard that type of talk before?. To the military heads in Tokyo Ishikawa would often assert Manchuria had to be seized via force, because of the soviet threat of the USSR and communism as a whole “In view of the traditional russian policy in that area, once the soviets advanced into manchuria, it would become a base for the communization of asia. Not only would the internal stability of manchuria become impossible to maintain, but Japan would be unable to maintain its own national defense, and China's defenses, too, would become imperialized". The Army Headquarters in Tokyo also recognized that Manchuria was a crucial defensive line against the USSR. However, unlike the Kwantung Army, which aimed to control all of Manchuria, the leaders in Tokyo focused on incorporating southern Manchuria through the South Manchurian Railway and did not pursue any territory north of it. Ishiwara, on the other hand, believed that the only way for Japan to prevent the USSR from exerting pressure on southern Manchuria was to occupy northern Manchuria and extend even further north toward the Amur River. This would allow Japan to control the mountain ranges that bordered the western and eastern frontiers of northern Manchuria. Once Japan controlled northern Manchuria, Ishiwara stated in 1931 “With the solution of our defense problems in the north, we would then be free to plan an advance in any direction: to China proper, for example, or even to Southeast Asia”. Ishiwara advanced his ideas significantly after Japan's conquest of Manchuria, recognizing the necessity of effectively administering and pacifying its diverse populations. He posited that the stability of Manchuria could be achieved through the unique skills and contributions of the various ethnic groups residing there. For instance, he believed that the Chinese would excel in developing small businesses, while the Koreans would apply their expertise in paddy farming. These racial dynamics, according to Ishiwara, would play a crucial role in the development of Manchukuo and the broader vision of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. However, it was clear that, above all, Manchuria was intended to serve Japan's interests, many of which were exploitative and economically driven. By early 1930, Ishiwara and his colleague Itagaki devised a military strategy reminiscent of the tactics employed during the Russo-Japanese War, specifically a surprise night attack. Their plan involved the Kwantung Army launching an assault on the Liaoning region, targeting key Chinese garrisons. This operation required meticulous planning, as the Kwantung Army was significantly outnumbered by the forces commanded by Zhang Xueliang. In the vicinity of Mukden alone, Zhang commanded approximately 20,000 well-equipped troops, supported by aircraft and tanks. Across Manchuria, he could mobilize around 250,000 soldiers in the event of conflict. In stark contrast, the Kwantung Army could only field about 10,000 personnel, primarily composed of garrison units stationed along the railway. They lacked substantial air support and mechanized units, and their overall equipment was inadequate. To address this stark imbalance in military strength, Ishiwara emphasized the importance of intelligence and rigorous training. He aimed to refine specific assault techniques, enabling Japanese forces to execute rapid and concentrated attacks that would overwhelm their Chinese adversaries. The overarching strategy was notably straightforward: it hinged on delivering a decisive blow to the heart of Zhang Xueliang's military stronghold at the Peitaying barracks in Mukden. Ishiwara believed that if this critical target fell, it would shatter the enemy's morale, providing the Kwantung Army with the necessary military and psychological momentum to dominate the surrounding regions. However, he acknowledged that if the Soviet Union intervened, the entire plan could unravel catastrophically. One important variable Ishiwara highlighted was the necessity to pull off the operation before any attempt to restructure the domestic order in Japan occurred. Ishiwara knew his arguments and those of his colleagues would influence the heads in Tokyo, and they had to act before they did. However the heads at Tokyo and the Kwantung army held very different perspectives on when to act. In June of 1931 the Central army HQ stated in its General Outline of a solution to the Manchurian problem “we must defer the question of military action for a whole year. During this time the foreign ministry would attempt to dampen anti japanese activities in manchuria through negotiations with the government of Nanking. In the meantime the government would launch an information campaign to try and drive acquiescence at home and aboard for military action ” Ishiwara, as you can imagine, was deeply frustrated by the prospect of delaying action for another year. He argued passionately that the current international landscape necessitated an immediate strike. At that time, the Soviet Union was still in the midst of its ambitious five-year plan, which limited its capacity for intervention. Meanwhile, the United States, Britain, and France were grappling with their own financial crises, rendering them unable to mount significant resistance in the Far East. Most notably, the Nationalist regime in China was preoccupied with its unification efforts south of the Great Wall, but this situation was expected to shift soon. Ishiwara believed that if they postponed their plans for a year, the geopolitical environment would deteriorate further, making decisive action imperative. For Ishiwara, the moment to act was now or never. In July 1931, Ishiwara and Itagaki orchestrated a crucial reconnaissance mission aimed at familiarizing the newest Kwantung officers with the northern regions of Manchuria. To disguise their true intentions, they informed high command that the mission was a survey focused on the Soviet Union. However, the real objective was to assess the strength and influence of Chinese power in northern Manchuria. During their return journey, the team received alarming news about the disappearance of Captain Nakamura Shintaro, a Kwantung staff officer. Upon reaching Port Arthur, they learned that rumors were circulating that Captain Nakamura had been killed by Chinese soldiers under what were described as “mysterious circumstances.” In the preceding months, Manchuria had witnessed a surge in violent riots, murders, work strikes, and various other incidents, all contributing to a climate of unrest. The Nakamura affair intensified these existing tensions. In response, both the Chinese and Japanese foreign ministries attempted to negotiate a resolution to the crisis. However, figures at the central army headquarters, such as Nagata Tetsuzan, who sympathized with the urgency felt by their Kwantung counterparts, felt compelled to support them. The situation was rapidly escalating, and the stakes were growing ever higher. For Ishiwara the issue was clear as he wrote “the Nakamura incident adds just one more issue to the others. What the army should do now is to ignore the foreign ministry and solve the problem by taking matters into its own hands”. And that's exactly what he did. The Kwantung officers moved their troops beyond the railway zone, where they had been confined, and without waiting for Itagaki's approval—who was in Japan at the time—they began preparations to send an armored train along with a mixed regiment of infantry and artillery to Mukden. Their goal was to enlist the help of the Chinese military in investigating Nakamura's disappearance. Upon learning of this, Tokyo sent a telegram instructing them to halt their departure from the railway and to refrain from using the Nakamura incident as a pretext for employing force to address the Manchurian issue. For Ishiwara this was the last straw. On August 20th he sent a message to Nagata condemning the current diplomatic situation and that negotiations were an utter waste of time. “There is no way to settle the matter except by placing it in the hands of the army. If central hq finds it so difficult to trust its field personnel then it had better replace them with representatives more suitable to the conditions it imagines to exist in Manchuria”. Ishiwara doubled down and pushed for a plot to provoke military conflict outside of Mukden. As he wrote in almost a messianic Nichiren conviction ‘I will be the pillar of Japan; I will be the eyes of Japan; I will be the great vessel of Japan” . “Gekokujo / ruling from below” is a Japanese historical term referring to when subordinates defy or manipulate their superiors. Ishiwara and his like minded close colleagues were about to perform Gekokujo. Ishiwara ordered the dispatch of an armored train carrying a mixed regiment of infantry and artillery to compel the Chinese military authorities in Mukden to assist in the investigation of Nakamura's disappearance. However, central headquarters halted the train's departure at the last moment, sending a telegram from Tokyo that specifically instructed the Kwantung Army not to use the Nakamura incident to pressure a resolution to the Manchurian issue.  In addition to the Nakamura situation, another issue was brewing. Colonel Dohihara Kenji was involved in a plot to enlist Warlord Yan Xishan to attack Zhang Xueliang. This scheme was attracting unwanted attention and undermining the effectiveness of the Nakamura incident, prompting Ishiwara to swiftly suppress the plans. Rumors began to circulate in Tokyo that the Kwantung Army was preparing to retaliate against the Chinese due to the Nakamura situation. In response, War Minister General Minami dispatched Major General Yoshiji Tatekawa to Mukden to caution the Kwantung officers against any such actions. Ishiwara was informed of Tatekawa's arrival and sent urgent telegrams to his followers, warning, “Plot exposed. Act before Tatekawa's arrival.” Consequently, the launch date was moved from September 28th to the 18th. Itagaki personally intercepted Tatekawa's train, inviting him for tea and sake, and arranged for him to spend the night with a geisha on the evening of the 18th. On September 18th of 1931, 1st Lt Suemori Kawamoto of the independent Garrison Unit of the 29th infantry regiment planted bombs along the tracks near Liutiaokou. At 10:20pm they exploded doing only minor damage to 1.5 meters of track on one site. The damage was so minor a train actually passed over the tracks without difficulty 10 minutes later. Ishiwara, Itagaki and their followers quickly announced the explosion to be a Chinese atrocity and mobilized the Kwantung Army. Itagaki ordered the Independent Garrison Force and 29th infantry regiment to storm the Peitaying Barracks. Battalion commander Shimamoto was awakened by the orders via telephone and quickly dispatched the 1st (Ono) and 4th (Takahashi) companies from Mukden; the 2nd (kawakami) company at Fushun to advance to Liutiaokou. At 10:40pm the 29th regiment commander Hirata got a call from Shimamoto who ordered him to get his regiment into emergency formation and to storm the Peiyating barracks.  Two secretly hidden 24cm artillery pieces began to bombard the Peitaying barracks as 500 Japanese stormed the 7000 strong Chinese garrison. Despite being outnumbered 14 to 1, the Japanese destroyed Zhang Xueliangs small air force, routed the Chinese and occupied the Peiyating Barracks by 11pm, all at the cost of 500 Chinese lives and allegedly only 2 Japanese lives. A major reason the Japanese had ease was because Zhang Xueliang ordered his men to store away their weapons and not put up a fight if the Japanese invaded. Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek both in Beijing at the time knew they could not initiate an offensive war against such a strong foreign country. They were hoping the League of Nations would intervene as pertaining to the Kellogg Briand Pact of 1928. But later on Chiang Kai-Shek would find America too wrapped up in its depression at home, Britain indifferent and other nations without enough reason to risk anything in the far east. An hour after the attack, Ishiwara began pressing General Shigeru Honjo, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, to send reinforcements to capture all of Mukden. Initially, Honjo hesitated, but Ishiwara convinced him that there was significant provocation from the enemy, prompting Honjo to order additional units into combat to secure the entire city. Historians have since struggled to determine whether Honjo was aware of the invasion plan; it seems likely he had some knowledge, but not the full details, which made him cautious in his actions over the following weeks. In the days that followed, Honjo attempted to confine the incident, but Ishiwara and Itagaki continuously urged all forces to adhere to the secret plan they had trained for. The speed and decisiveness of their actions overwhelmed the Chinese forces and left Honjo unable to change the course of events. Famously when one colleague asked Itagaki what to do in response to cease and desist orders from Honjo, Itagaki responded “Never mind Honjo, it's Ishiwara's war”. Official orders from Tokyo came on the next day, specifically opposing the expansion of hostilities, but Ishiwara and Itagaki had come too far to stop now. They began persuading Honjo to telegram the General Staff to ask for reinforcements and freedom of action “to pursue actively the security and order of all of Manchuria”. Ishiwara and Itagaki clearly aimed to expand their offensive through official channels first, but they also circumvented these channels. One cunning tactic they used was to incite chaos among civilians in Manchurian cities, thereby heightening the demand for improved security for Japanese residents. This strategy would enable the Kwantung Army troops to move beyond their established boundaries. Shortly after what is now known as the "Mukden Incident," military agents were sent to Kirin to stir unrest in the city. Reports of disturbances from Kirin began flooding into the Kwantung Army headquarters, with Ishiwara urging Honjo to send forces to Kirin to safeguard Japanese residents. He also pushed for reinforcements from the Korean Army, but Honjo was reluctant to take that step. It seems Ishiwara feared missing a golden opportunity and chose another course of action. On the night of the 20th, he gathered together a bunch of younger Kwantung officers such as Itagaki's assistant, Captain Katakura Tadashi and told them “I can't do anything more to budge the commander and so i'm giving up my responsibilities for the direction of operations. Katakura, you take over”. Well it seems this little ploy had the intended effect as all the young officers immediately began pressuring Honjo to support Ishiwara's demands to advance to Kirin, many of them threatening to resign. After several hours of the officers nagging, Honjo related and authorized the despatch of troops.  The operation against Kirin was executed with remarkable speed. Ishiwara ordered the majority of the 2nd Division, led by General Tamon Jiro, to swiftly travel to Kirin by train. They entered the city without firing a single shot and compelled the local Chinese commander to declare the province's independence from Zhang Xueliang's regime. Within hours, the Korean army responded to an aid request from the Kwantung Army staff sent on September 21st and began advancing into Manchuria. In just 48 hours, the Japanese military had taken control of Kirin, which was outside the Kwantung operational zone, and the Korean army was invading Manchuria without Tokyo's approval, effectively undermining military discipline. Chief of Staff Kanaya Hanzo had issued specific orders to restrict the Kwantung Army's operations and granted field commanders discretionary authority for certain emergency situations, typically of a local nature. However, the Kirin expedition did not fit within these parameters. Encouraged by their success, Ishiwara and Itagaki pushed for an advance on Harbin. As noted in the previous episode, the strategy for taking Manchuria relied on speed and precision. The Kwantung Army had limited forces compared to the immediate Chinese troops in Manchuria, yet they were constrained by directives from Tokyo HQ that prohibited the movement of Kwantung troops beyond the South Manchuria Railway, where they had previously confined their actions. Ishiwara attempted to frame the situation politically, arguing that Japan should support Manchurian independence and sent this proposal directly to Tokyo central HQ. However, on October 3rd, Tokyo HQ firmly rejected the idea of expanding hostilities. Faced with this outright refusal from Tokyo HQ, the Kwantung radicals believed their only option was to create further chaos to compel a response. Ishiwara took the lead once more, aiming to unsettle Tokyo HQ. On October 8th, he donned military pilot gear and infiltrated one of five Chinese aircraft seized at Mukden airfield. He personally led a raid, although later in life, during the Tokyo War Crimes Trials, he would claim that the flight was intended solely for reconnaissance of enemy activities at Chinchou. He argued that it was only at the last moment that intelligence revealed anti-aircraft guns had been installed at Chinchou, prompting the Kwantung Army Commander to authorize their neutralization if fired upon. Ishiwara maintained that he and the four accompanying aircraft were fired upon, leading them to drop approximately 75 bombs on Chinchou. This series of events was quite dramatic, and contemporary accounts suggest it was a premeditated effort to provoke Tokyo. The raid on Chinchou certainly alarmed Tokyo, leading the staff there to worry that the West would start condemning them. Tokyo's high command found themselves in a difficult position. They felt compelled to publicly support the Kwantung Army by retroactively approving the chaotic attacks, but internally, they were furious. Major Endo Saburo from the intelligence division was dispatched to Manchuria to investigate the situation. When he asked Ishiwara about the events, Ishiwara claimed he acted on the principle of field initiative, which was why he hadn't informed Tokyo beforehand. Saburo also noted that Ishiwara's tone suggested that he and the intelligence division should stay out of the matter. Additionally, Saburo learned that there were whispers in Manchuria indicating that if Tokyo's high command did not align with them, the Kwantung Army was ready to act independently. It appeared that the radical officers of the Kwantung Army were even willing to defy the Imperial Japanese Army command to achieve their goals. Ishiwara went as far as to send this telegram to Tokyo “For the sake of the nation we are doing our very best in Manchuria, but if the Japanese government constantly interferes we cannot complete our great work. Then the Kwantung army will have to come to the point where we will have to break the glorious history of the imperial army and separate ourselves from the empire” If you found this situation quite surprising, there was also a rumor that Ishiwara and Itagaki planned to use an independent Manchuria as a base for a coup d'état against the Japanese government. Their goal was to overthrow the capitalists oppressing the people and establish a national socialist regime centered around the emperor. For those familiar with the history of political assassinations in 1930s Japan, this rumor hints at events that would unfold in 1936. It remains unclear whether Ishiwara and Itagaki genuinely intended to pursue this plan, but they certainly spread the word. On October 18th, War Minister Minami Jiro sent a telegram to the Kwantung Army, instructing them to stop any discussions about making Manchuria independent or attempting to seize control of it. Additionally, they dispatched Colonel Imamura Hitoshi from the operations section to Manchuria to reason with Ishiwara and Itagaki. They all met at a restaurant in Mukden where Imamura began by explaining the purpose of his mission, but before he could even really begin, Ishiwara blurted out “whats the matter? Doesn't central headquarters have any backbone?” A great way to start a meeting to be sure. Imamura tried to explain the situation, but Ishiwara said “if we follow the spineless Tokyo approach we'll never settle the Manchurian problem”. Imamura replied “we can't accomplish anything by following the arbitrary decision of field elements, which may create a crisis that will shake the whole army. In such a problem it is essential for the whole nation to be unified”. To this Ishiwara apparently said really loudly in the restaurant that he was sleepy, rolled over on the tatami and closed his eyes. Imamura furious haha, get up quickly after denouncing his so called hosts for conducting official IJA business at a restaurant and left. The next day they all met again, where Ishiwara and Itagaki kept speaking about the necessity to create an independent state, since there was no hope of the Chinese reforming Manchuria. After Imamura left that meeting, Ishiwara said to Itagaki “Imamura is a fine fellow, but he doesn't understand China”. Despite the chaos and turmoil, the Kwantung Army had been held back from launching any sustained military operations throughout October. As expected, Ishiwara continued to argue for an advance into northern Manchuria. In early November, he found another opportunity when he claimed that more railways had been destroyed. Allegedly, hostile Chinese forces had blown up the rail bridges over the Nonni River, south of Tsitsihar. When Japanese engineering units arrived to repair the damaged tracks, they came under fire from Chinese troops. To the high-ranking officials in Tokyo, this appeared to be a legitimate reason to take defensive action. Additionally, Kwantung intelligence reports were reaching Tokyo, suggesting that Chinese forces in northern Manchuria were planning a southward offensive. Ishiwara had also provided exaggerated reports to the Japanese public, manipulating media narratives to pressure Tokyo into supporting an advance into northern Manchuria. Tokyo approved a defensive operation, restricted in time and scope, aimed at protecting Japanese positions at the Nonni River bridges. Kwantung Army forces began moving north and soon engaged in intense fighting around the railway area of Tahsing. Ishiwara personally led troops during this engagement, marking the only time in his military career that he did so. General Honjo, rightly concerned that the Kwantung forces were becoming uncontrollable, sent a cable on November 5th announcing that under the “rinsan inmei / provisional mandate,” the general staff would assume direct command authority in Manchuria. Unsurprisingly, Ishiwara and his like-minded colleagues in the Kwantung Army were furious. Honjo followed this up by stating he would resign if they did not comply, but Ishiwara brushed off the provisional mandate stating “that the directive from the chief of staff is just a personal, not an imperial order. No matter how many we get of those we shouldn't' care. We'll just go ahead with our plans”. On november 17, the Kwantung army began advancing upon the city of Tsitsihar seizing it 2 days later.  Confronted with yet another dire situation, the IJA high command permitted the Kwantung Army to advance toward Tsitsihar. However, international outcry soon erupted, compelling them to order the evacuation of the city. Ishiwara sparked a significant debate among the staff, arguing that the evacuation was unacceptable given the sacrifices already made by the troops. Nevertheless, Honjo remained resolute. A few days later, Chinese forces began to gather at Chinchou, and tensions escalated with skirmishes occurring between Japanese and Chinese troops in Tientsin. In response, Ishiwara urgently called for Honjo to initiate an offensive at Chinchou as a way to better position their forces closer to Tientsin in case they faced overwhelming opposition. To support this advance, they also requested assistance from the Korean army. Once again, the burden fell to Tokyo. The high command in Tokyo ordered an immediate halt to the offensive and a withdrawal east of the Liao River. The Kwantung Army hesitated, not solely due to the order but also because the Korean army refused to join the offensive against Chinchou, which was crucial for their success. Ishiwara found himself in a predicament; without reinforcements, the entire offensive could fail. Then, on December 11th, a significant change occurred when Premier Wakatsuki was ousted. War Minister Minami and Chief of Staff Kanaya, who had attempted to moderate the Kwantung Army's aggressiveness, were replaced by Araki Sadao, a leader of the Kodoha faction known for its aggressive stance. To provide some context, the Japanese military was divided into factions, similar to warlord cliques, vying to influence the future operations of the IJA and, to some extent, the IJN. Two primary factions shaped the military landscape in the 1930s: the Kodoha and the Toseiha (Control Faction). The Kodoha was not an organized political party nor did it hold an official position within the IJA, but it wielded considerable influence. Its members were typically younger officers, particularly from the Kwantung Army. General Sadao Araki was a founding member of the Kodoha, which was heavily influenced by Bushido, Fascism, and the Kokutai ideology. They aimed to restore Japan to its perceived former glory, viewing liberal democracy as a detrimental force. They blamed the capitalists, industrialists, and elites—politicians, bureaucrats, and Zaibatsu leaders—for the nation's decline. Their goal was to see the Emperor reclaim full power in what they termed a "Showa Restoration." The Kodoha's primary adversary, as perceived by much of the Japanese military at the time, was the USSR and communism in general. Consequently, they supported the Hokushin-ron (Northern Strike Policy), which was Japan's theoretical plan to invade the USSR. While I don't want to delve too deeply into the details, it's important to note that the Kodoha was counterbalanced by the more moderate Toseiha faction, led by Hideki Tojo. The Toseiha opposed the Kodoha on several fronts, notably their desire to avoid a violent revolution to restore imperial dominance. Although they shared many principles with the Kodoha, the Toseiha rejected the Hokushin-ron strategy in favor of the Nanshin-ron (Southern Strike) strategy, which aimed at expanding into Southeast Asia and the resource-rich Dutch East Indies. The Toseiha faction also maintained better relations with the IJN. To contextualize this narrative within the political landscape, these two factions began to fiercely compete for dominance starting in 1931. With the influence of Araki Sadao and support from Prince Kan'in, a Kodoha sympathizer, significant changes occurred in Tokyo's command. Suddenly, offensive operations against Chinese forces in Manchuria were rebranded as “bandit suppression” campaigns. The Kwantung Army, fully backed by Tokyo, swiftly pursued all military objectives established by Ishiwara and Itagaki since September. Chinchou and Shanhaikwan were captured in early January 1932, followed by Tsitsihar in February. By spring 1932, Ishiwara urged the staff to complete the full occupation of Manchuria, both north and south. In April of that year, he presented the “Manshu haiti heiryaku,” or the program for the pacification of Manchuria. This new plan called for the seizure of Hailar in the north because “it was pivotal to the defense against the USSR”. It also called for seizing Jehol province because “it was an important condition to the independence of Manchuria”. By the end of the year Hailar was taken and in 1933 the Kwantung army was marching upon Jehol. It is clear that Ishiwara played a crucial role in the conquest of Manchuria. The Kwantung Army and the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) had various strategies available to address the Manchurian issue, but Ishiwara focused primarily on achieving complete control over the region for its resources, strategic advantages, and to establish a continental base for a potential war against the United States. For Ishiwara, securing all of Manchuria was essential in preparation for the Final War. While it's likely that conflict between Japan and China would have occurred in Manchuria without Ishiwara's influence, it's uncertain whether Japan would have outright taken the province. Ishiwara dedicated years to planning and pushing boundaries, but when the operation commenced, it became evident that he and his associates lacked a definitive timeline for conquest and had several missing contingency plans. Despite the chaotic circumstances, the conquest of Manchuria proved to be a remarkable success. So much so, Ishiwara said to a friend of his, Satomi Kishio in 1932 “Even if Japan has to face the entire world, she can't be beaten”. Ironically as many of you know, Japan's actions in Manchuria cost her greatly. Japan was now hated by the Chinese, well much more so. The west condemned Japan's actions, alongside the USSR. As my professor first taught me in a class about the Pacific War when I was a wee lad in his early 20's “It all was about Manchuria, everything started with Manchuria, and it ended with Manchuria in 1945”. The Manchuria incident set Japan on an unavoidable path toward the China War, which ultimately led to conflict with the West. It became a self-fulfilling prophecy. This situation also raises questions about military discipline. Many cite the concept of Gekokujo as a reason why individuals like Ishiwara and Itagaki were able to act as they did. These militaristic junior officers seemingly ran rampant, engaging in rebellious actions that defied their superiors, which forced those higher up to become complicit. While Gekokujo certainly played a role, especially in Ishiwara's case, it does not negate the fact that there was a significant level of indiscipline within the Japanese army. Ishiwara was undoubtedly aware of the potential consequences of his actions. A prime example is Colonel Komoto Daisaku, who had previously seen his career ruined after being exiled due to the Huanggutun incident. However, Ishiwara's focus extended beyond Manchuria; he was closely monitoring the political landscape in Tokyo. He recognized that the 1931 cabinet was unstable and that certain high-ranking officials, like Araki Sadao, were rapidly advancing in their careers and sympathized with his agenda. Ishiwara was betting that supporters from factions like Kodoha would gain the necessary power to further his cause. His gamble paid off handsomely, as all the key players in the Manchurian affair were rewarded for their efforts. Ishiwara received the Order of the Golden Kite, 3rd class, and returned to Japan as a celebrated hero, captivating younger officers in the Imperial Japanese Army. Ironically, the indiscipline he had nurtured within the army would later come back to haunt him as he climbed the ranks and became part of the Tokyo staff.

If you are still hungry after that, give my personal channel a look over at The Pacific War Channel at Youtube, it would mean a lot to me. As Ron Burgundy once said “Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.” While perhaps Ishiwara did not plan for an all out war to break out against China, he certainly was the culprit to it happening. There was no going back, 15 years of blood, sweat and tears would be shed.

What the Riff!?! delves once again into the great (and not so great) Christmas songs to add a little cheer as you rock around the Christmas tree this year. WSB Radio host Eric Von Haessler joins us for the fun!“The Holly and the Ivy” by Jon AndersonJon Anderson's fourth solo album came out in 1985, and was a mixture of traditional Christmas carols and original material.  This is a traditional British folk Christmas carol.  Though it can't be traced any further back than the 1800's, the association between holly and Christmas dates back to medieval times.“Please Come Home for Christmas” by the EaglesDon Henley, Glenn Frey, and the rest of the Eagles put out this popular sad Christmas track in 1978, though it was a cover originally performed by blues pianist Charles Brown in 1960, and co-written by Brown and Gene Redd.“The First Noel” by Crash Test DummiesFront man Brad Roberts puts his distinctive bass voice to work on this traditional Christmas tune.  This carol originated in Cornwall, England and dates back to at least the early 1800's, using the French "Noel" as a synonym for the Christmas season“The 12 Days of Christmas” by  Straight, No ChaserThis acapella group from Indiana University puts some comedic musicianship to work on this Christmas round.  We know you'll like it, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus from the Serengeti.  “Nut Rocker” by Emerson, Lake & PalmerELP puts a prog rock spin on the classic Nutcracker Suite.  Russian composer Tchaikovsky wrote the original Nutcracker as a two-act ballet in 1892, and is a fantasy taking place at the foot of a Christmas tree.“Christmas All Over Again” by Tom Petty and the HeartbreakersThis original song was penned by Tom Petty on a ukulele in 1992.  It was used in the motion picture "Home Alone 2:  Lost in New York," and also appeared in "Jingle All the Way."  Jeff Lynne co-produced the song, played bells, bass, timpani, sang background vocals, and wishes for a Chuck Berry Songbook in the song.“The Christmas Song” by WeezerThis is not the one you're familiar with.  The more famous "The Christmas Song" was first performed by the Nat King Cole trio in 1946.  Weezer did this introspective original song with the same name in 2000 on a fan club Christmas LP.“Minnie and Santa” by Cyndi LauperLauper released this light hearted Christmas song in 1998 which tells of a fling that Minnie (not the mouse!) had with old Kris Kringle.  This may sound like a cover of a classic song, but it is an original written by Lauper and Jan Pulsford.“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by Frank SinatraYou can't go wrong with Old Blue Eyes and a crooner Christmas classic.  This song originated in 1943 and was in the musical "Meet Me in St. Louis," where it was sung by Judy Garland.“God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen/We Three Kings”  by Barenaked LadiesThis Christmas medley also features fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Sara McLachlan joining in with the Barenaked Ladies.“Listen, The Snow is Falling” by Yoko Ono & the Plastic Ono BandHear us out - this is an Ono piece that is actually quite good!  It was released in 1971 as the B-side to the better known "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," sung by John Lennon.“If It Doesn't Snow On Christmas” by Joe PesciChasing Macaulay Culkin isn't the only association Pesci has with Christmas.  He put this cover of an old Gene Autry song out on his 1998 album "Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You."(and there might be a bonus ending related to the Beatles...)We at What the Riff?!? wish every one a blessed and Merry Christmas!

May Pang : John Lennon's Lost WeekendMonday Nov 9th 730 PM , May Pang is being honored with the Ambassador of Rock AwardLe Poisson Rouge 158 Bleeker St. NYhttp://rockersonbroadwayMay Pang, world-renowned confidant and companion of John Lennon, has been in the public eye for over three decades. Her career in the music industry spans over 40 years, beginning with Allen Klein's company, ABKCO Industries, the firm which managed the Beatles, Apple Corps. Ltd. and the Rolling Stones besides having an extensive music publishing catalogue which included songs by Sam Cooke.In 1970, Lennon and Yoko Ono hired Pang as their personal assistant. She would eventually become their production coordinator -- playing a key role in records by Lennon, Ono and Harry Nilsson. In 1974, Pang was awarded an RIAA Gold Album Award for her work on Lennon's Walls and Bridges, the #1 hit album which included his first and only #1 single in his lifetime, "Whatever Gets You Thru The Night." She can also be heard singing on "#9 Dream," the second single from the album.In the late 1970s working for Island Records, Pang coordinated all activities related to the release of albums by Robert Palmer, Third World, and Bob Marley and the Wailers. By the early 1980s, she was one of the leading professional managers in the music publishing industry, working with several unknown songwriters and successfully obtaining coverage by such artists as Diana Ross, Judas Priest, The Four Tops, Ullanda McCullough and Air Supply.During this period, Pang decided to set the record straight about her relationship with Lennon. Warner Books published her memoir, Loving John, in 1983. The book detailed her liaison and working association with the late Beatle and shed light on his relationships with his first son, Julian, as well as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison.During the last two decades, Pang has appeared in every major news and magazine publication worldwide (NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, The Daily News, UK's Mail On Sunday, Vogue online, Germany's Die Seite Drei, Marie Claire, People, etc.) and has been a guest on such national TV shows as Good Morning America, Howard Stern, Good Morning LA, CBS Sunday Morning, Court TV and Entertainment Tonight.Pang has also designed a unique collection of stainless steel Feng Shui jewelry and accent furniture. She has a weekly internet radio show with co-host Cynthia Neilson called Dinner Specials on BlogTalkRadio. Com. Pang continues her consulting work on music for films and is still an advisory board member of Women In Music. She also serves as an advisory board member, along with Julian Lennon, Jeff Bridges to name a few at the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) organization. ACT deals with saving the rainforest and its indigenous people. This was started by world known ethnobotanist Dr. Mark J. Plotkin and conservationist Liliana Madrigal.In 2008, St. Martin's Press released Instamatic Karma, a collection of Pang's personal photographs of John Lennon. Fine art prints of these portraits have been exhibited in major galleries across the country.Also in the Fall of 2014, she released a book only for the German market called John Lennon & May Pang, Another Love. She had received numerous press coverage in some of Germany's largest newspaper publications.Pang has lectured and given talks at various events across the country including public libraries and most recently at Berklee College of Music in Boston sponsored in part by theLiberal Arts Dept. While there, she also lectured the John Lennon Songwriting class. She also gave a talk at The Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp in Las Vegas as a Special Guest Speaker.She has also been asked to be a guest speaker along with guests Donovan, Peter Asher, Pattie Boyd and others at The International Beatles Week 2015 in Liverpool this coming August.In this age of “social awareness”, Pang was asked to participate as an artist on a CD called: ALL ABOUT BULLIES…BIG AND SMALL. The CD won a Grammy for The Best Children's CD category in 2012.John Lennon: The Lost Weekend- Living, Loving and Making Rock & RollShe shared his life, his music and his love. She was his intimate companion during the time known as- THE LOST WEEKEND.May Pang was twenty-two. She was John and Yoko's personal assistant, a trusted member of their inner circle of carefully chosen friends and associates. She budgeted and contracted for their albums and became an invaluable part of their creative and personal lives.When John and Yoko separated, May was enlisted to care for John as he embarked on a period known as "The Lost Weekend" – an intense period of enormous creativity and violent self-destructiveness. She lived, worked, and fell deeply in love with Lennon.Together they shared a rocky romance, with Yoko waiting in the wings for John's return. This is her record of that time, a time when John was recording, seeing friends, exploring the world and confronting his own inner demons.
