This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss the mass craze that is officially a world-wide phenomenon… and mostly seems to be ignored by orthodox Catholics. Why are those who are strong in the faith less likely to pay attention to the mask-wearing edicts? And why do some people embrace it whole-heartedly, adding ceremony and reverence to the act of putting on the mask? And who is denying science--again? In current events, drug makers plead guilty to charges of causing the opioid epidemic. Elon Musk is now the second richest person in the world. China launches a craft to bring back moon samples. US withdraws from Open Skies Treaty. Trump pardons General Flynn. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is assassinated. Sarah Fuller kicks a ball. More Covid19 doomsaying and predictions of hospital overloads. In the land of nonsense, a mayor's heart is buried under a fountain. Audie's lady destroys hundreds of whiskey bottles. Scientists make DNA steaks. A woman gets a tapeworm from gas station sushi.

Éra amerického prezidenta Donalda Trumpa přinesla v oblasti mezinárodních dohod zaměřených na kontrolu zbraní významné milníky. Mezi ně patří například odstoupení Spojených států od dohody o otevřeném nebi (Open Skies Treaty) nebo od íránské jaderné dohody (Joint Comprehension Plan of Action), jejichž budoucí existence a podoba zůstávají nejasné. Mezi dohody se spornou budoucností se řadí i vzájemná dohoda o snižování počtu jaderných zbraní, tzv. START Treaty, uzavřená mezi Spojenými státy a Ruskou federací. Platnost této dohody je navzdory plánované expiraci v únoru 2021 stále aktuální do roku 2026 a její novější verze tzv. New START Treaty je zatím v nedohlednu. Jaká je současná situace v mezinárodní kontrole zbraní po nástupu amerického prezidenta Joea Bidena? Co je to New START Treaty a proč byla namísto ní na poslední chvíli prodloužená platnost původní verze dohody? Kde vidí jaderné velmoci největší sporné body během rokování o nové podobě smlouvy? Může Evropská unie ovlivnit budoucí podobu New START dohody, a jaké konsekvence pro Unii z nově vznikající smlouvy vyplývají? Na tyto otázky bude odpovídat Juraj Sýkora, junior expert, Slovenská společnosť pro zahraničnou politiku

On COI #118, Kyle Anzalone breaks down Biden's decision to keep Trump's Cuba policy and not return to the Open Skies Treaty. On the campaign trail, Biden criticized Trump for the blunders. However, President Biden's State Department has signaled Cuba will remain on the State Sponsor of Terrorism list. Biden has also announced the US will not return to the OST. The agreement provided a foundation of trust to the US/Russian relationship.

Caleb Maupin, journalist and political analyst, joins us to discuss this week's important news stories. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is traveling to Central America to push America's Monroe Doctrine policies of domination. Also, the Biden administration has indicated that it will not renew the Open Skies Treaty, and a so-called dissident journalist that was taken off of a plane in Belarus has been connected to Neo-Nazis in Ukraine. Dr. Jack Rasmus, professor in the economics and politics departments at St. Mary's College of California, joins us to discuss the economy. The White House is putting forth a $6 trillion budget that they believe will reshape the US economy. President Biden's defense budget is taking fire from all sides, as progressives say that it is too big and conservatives say that it is too small. Also, Biden trims his infrastructure plan to attract Republicans, but finds no takers.Lenneal Henderson, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Virginia State University, joins us to discuss several important stories. Prosecutors are allegedly moving forward with a criminal probe of former President Donald Trump. The San Jose massacre was the 232 mass shooting in the US this year, after only 135 over the same period in 2020. Also, the nation of Ukraine is part of the discussion again, as former Trump lawyer Rudy Guiliani is also under investigation for his research into Hunter Biden's business dealings.Margaret Kimberley, editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and author of "Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents," joins Ted Rall, political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, to discuss this week's stories. Margaret has an article in Black Agenda Report in which she discusses President Biden's budget juxtaposed against his campaign promises and rhetoric. The mainstream media has put out another thinly sourced hacking claim against a group from Russia conspicuously close to the scheduled meeting between President Biden and Russian President Putin. Gerald Horne, professor of history at the University of Houston, author, historian, researcher, and Ray Baker, political analyst and host of the podcast Public Agenda, joins us to discuss several articles. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is warning Democrats that they may lose Congress if they get mired in negotiations with the GOP. Antony Blinken appeared with Benjamin Netanyahu on Israeli TV, as Netanyahu argued that the US must not return to the JCPOA. Also, American arms makers are making a fortune off the slaughter of Palestinians.

The new buzz word in international diplomacy is multilateralism, or to put it simply, countries working together towards a common goal. This is a concept nowhere embraced so firmly as in the Brussels corridors of power, where EU leaders speak of it with the fervour of a religious belief. But does multilateralism really work? Or does the old diplomatic maxim that “countries do not have friends, just interests” better reflect the reality of how international relations are conducted. In many ways the European Union sees itself as a model of multilateral co-operation: 27 member states pooling their resources and, to some extent, their sovereignty, to achieve common goals. It also sees itself as the standard bearer of multilateralism in the world – exerting influence through building common platforms based on its values. In recent weeks EU leaders from Ursula von der Leyen to Charles Michel in the European institutions, to Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron from among the member states, have hammered in the need for multilateralism to tackle the big challenges facing the world: from climate change to COVID-19, from refugee crises to resource shortages. Multilateralism not only requires countries to work together: it also requires them to develop rules of how to do so and then to respect those rules. For a while, under Donald Trump it appeared that the United States had ditched multilateralism, opting instead for an 'America first' approach. President Joe Biden has in his first days in office already gone a long way to reverse this. But is the transatlantic relationship enough for multilateralism to be the norm in the way international relations are conducted. How about Russia and China, who also pay lip service to multilateralism, but who quickly explain that they understand that to mean a multipolar world, where of course they see themselves as one of the poles? And how about everyone else? In this episode of Global Europe Unpacked, Will Murray speak to Stephanie Liechtenstein, the Web Editor-in-Chief of the Security and Human Rights Monitor, about, amongst other things: whether multilateralism is in crisis and what this means;what climate change and COVID-19 mean for multilateral diplomacy;whether multilateralism is being misconstrued by certain actors, such as China, and what can be done about it;what can be done when countries don't follow the rules they have committed to;the biggest challenges for the 2021 Swedish Chairpersonship of the OSCE; andwhat the EU can do to strengthen multilateral diplomacy.For more news analysis and commentary on the EU and its neighbourhood, visit commonspace.eu or follow us on twitter @commonspaceEU.

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enVladimir Putin and Joe Biden recently had their first presidential phone call — a conversation that paved the way for a renewal of the New START Treaty (the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty reached in April 2010 between presidents Obama and Medvedev). But most other arms control agreements between Moscow and Washington have expired or collapsed in years past, so what's the future of these diplomatic efforts going forward? For answers, “The Naked Pravda” turns to two experts in this field: Olga Oliker, the Director of the International Crisis Group's Europe and Central Asia Program, and Pavel Podvig, an independent analyst based in Geneva, where he runs his research project, “Russian Nuclear Forces,” and works as a senior research fellow at the UN Institute for Disarmament Research and as a researcher with the Program on Science and Global Security at Princeton University. “The Naked Pravda” comes out on Saturdays (or sometimes Fridays).

The forces of peaceful co-existence in the world (especially in the United States and Russia) have maintained a program to allow the two main nuclear super powers to keep and eye on one another and their allies to minimize the possibility that either side could surprise the other with warlike actions and threaten world peace: The Open Skies Treaty. President Trump recently withdrew (November 22, 2020) the United States from this treaty with no rational explanation. https://www.rferl.org/a/u-s-to-withdraw-from-open-skies-treaty-moscow-says-all-options-are-open-to-us-/30962981.html. We recognize that a new presidential administration has the option to bring us back into the treaty, but the question remains, why the sudden withdrawal? There are many such questions that demand answers, but it may be that you non-voting soon to become voting citizens will have to join the rest of the country to get our answers. Is this the end of imaginative thinking to keep humanity out of war? Some say “Yes!” https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2020/06/16/a-farewell-to-the-open-skies-treaty-and-an-era-of-imaginative-thinking/.

Kevin Gosztola, journalist, author and documentary filmmaker, joins us to weigh in on the latest potential choice for Joe Biden's Cabinet. Biden has reportedly chosen Blinken, a longtime Beltway insider of the American foreign policy consensus, for secretary of state. Blinken's repeated support for military intervention projects causes great trepidation among those hoping for a less aggressive foreign policy under the next US administration Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician, joins us to discuss a report in The Hill that said, "The US on Sunday marked the 20th straight day of more than 100,000 new confirmed COVID-19 infections, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University." Also, as pharmaceutical giants Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca claim to be on the verge of releasing highly effective vaccines for the coronavirus, Hancock discusses potential safety and distribution issues should any of them be chosen for mass production. Elisabeth Myers, lawyer and former editor-in-chief of Inside Arabia, talks with our hosts about a recent report in MintPress News which says that US weapons sales to Saudi Arabia since the beginning of the war in Yemen have made the kingdom "a cash cow for US weapons makers." The outlet notes that "figures released from the United Nations and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) show that since the war in Yemen began, the US government has given $2.56 billion in aid to the country but sold over $13 billion in high-tech weapons to Saudi Arabia."Greg Palast, investigative reporter, returns to the show to discuss the ongoing GOP legal fight to overcome the voting deficits in Michigan. Reuters reported, "The Republican National Committee and the Michigan Republican Party wrote to Michigan's state board of canvassers on Saturday asking it to adjourn for 14 days to audit ballots in the state's largest county." A Michigan Department of State spokesperson advised the GOP that "candidates could still request a recount after certification that could change the election outcome," the outlet said. Also, the Georgia State Board of Elections is considering making some ex post facto changes to voting rules that could significantly impact the final ballot count if allowed.Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations and security analyst, returns to discuss the Trump administration's latest move to pull the US out of the Open Skies Treaty. He will also discuss whether he thinks a Biden administration would be amenable to returning to any of the many treaties that the Trump team has abandoned. Additionally, he gives us his thoughts on recent reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin is extending an olive branch towards Washington, saying he is willing to work with the US to resolve differences after election details are settled. Dan Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "The Velvet Coup," returns to The Critical Hour to discuss the Central and South American grassroots social movement that is manifesting itself among numerous Indigenous groups. This time, Guatemalans have taken to the streets in large numbers to oppose a new neoliberal austerity budget by the government. Furious protesters are also demanding that their leaders address rampant government corruption or resign. Miko Peled, author and activist, brings his wealth of knowledge about the Israeli occupation of Palestine to Radio Sputnik to discuss a recent Jerusalem Post article arguing that 49% of Israelis surveyed want a potential Biden administration to relaunch talks with the Palestinians, while only 36% oppose the idea. Additionally, as the normalization of diplomatic relations with Israel spreads throughout the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu travels to Saudi Arabia. Could this be the next Muslim nation to recognize Israel, and what would be the fallout?Alexander Mercouris, editor-in-chief of The Duran, checks in from London to update us on the UK government's attempt to navigate the seemingly endless task of completing the nation's contentious divorce from the European Union. In the latest plot twist, reports are surfacing that there has been progress in talks on a trade deal between Britain and the EU, and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson now plans to intervene in the negotiations. British outlet The Telegraph suggested that December 1 is now the unofficial deadline for concluding the talks.

Welcome to the Moderate Voice of America, here we cover the latest news on United States policies at home and abroad. Our story today begins with another withdrawal of an international treaty by the United States. On Sunday, November 22, 2020, the United States withdrew from the Open Skies Treaty after accusations of violations by the Russian Federation. Signed in 1992, "the treaty, which entered into force in 2002, allows its 34 members to conduct short-notice, unarmed observation and surveillance flights over one another's territories, to collect data on military forces and activities.” Why did the United States leave the Open Skies Treaty? What are the consequences of the withdrawal? What is the next move for America? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/derek-gutierrez7/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/derek-gutierrez7/support

Today is November 23, 2020. The U.S. pulls out of the Open Skies Treaty with Russia. Federal benefits are set to run out right after Christmas. And the Trump team is starting to fall apart, as scant evidence is presented about fraud.

On Conflicts of Interest #37, Kyle discusses recent Orwellian comments made by Senator Tammy Duckworth. The Senator responded to Trump's plan to bring US troops home from Afghanistan by claiming that it would KILL US SOLDIERS COMING HOME. Kyle updates Trump's destruction of arms control agreements with Russia. Today marked the official end of the US involvement in the Open Skies Treaty with Russia. The treaty allows for crucial monitoring of military activities. Kyle covers Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent trip to Israel. On the trip, Pompeo declared the pro-Palestinian BDS movement to be anti-Semitic. The designation has disturbing implications for free speech. Kyle looks at recent developments in Yemen. Trump is now planning to name the Houthi as a Terror group. The designation will make it more difficult to deliver aid to Yemen and likely cause more Yemeni children to suffer and die.

The collapse of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty last year increased concerns that the international architecture around arms control was weakening further. With other agreements up for renewal or under renewed scrutiny, what does the future hold for arms control between the US, Russia and China? In this week's episode, Meia Nouwens speaks with three IISS Missile Dialogue Initiative specialists on the current politics around arms control and the new technologies that risk complicating future arms-control efforts.Douglas Barrie and Timothy Wright from the IISS and Pavel Podvig from the UN Institute for Disarmament Research explain why it is such a critical time for arms control and the importance of agreements such as the Open Skies Treaty and the NEW Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty for regional and global stability.

#美中關係 5/20美國公布美國對中華人民共和國共16頁的戰略方針，這是根據2019年國防授權法案做全政府的檢討與總結，總結將中國定位為一個勢均力敵的對手。中國對此的看法是，若美國將中國視為勢均力敵的對手，美國將不再容許中國躲在開發中國家的地位中… #美退出《開放天空條約》 5/21美國國務卿龐畢歐宣布退出《開放天空條約》（Open Skies Treaty）。《開放天空條約》為1992年三十四國為建立互信，可至他國領空做各種空中偵察，然而，美國表示自從簽約後，俄國用了很多方法在其中違約，做很多情報的搜查工作，這對美國來說是不公平的，因此美國才會宣布退出… #伊朗/委內瑞拉 5/23深夜，伊朗有五艘運了汽油的船到了委內瑞拉。伊朗與委內瑞拉皆是產油國，但委內瑞拉近期因政治經濟凋敝，內部動亂層出不窮，因此它的煉油廠也在美國制裁下煉不出油，轉而向伊朗進口煉過的汽油，而伊朗也在幫委內瑞拉重建煉油廠… #北韓情勢 北韓官媒朝中社5/24報導，金正恩親自主持第七屆中央軍委第四次擴大會議，會議中討論快速發展自衛型國防力量，提升核子戰爭的嚇阻力，率領朝鮮重回核武與經濟發展並重的路線… 劉必榮教授和風談判學院：negotiation.eletang.com.tw

Ever since he became president, Donald Trump has made it a priority to withdraw America from the rest of the world, apparently a foundation of his so-called “America First” philosophy.But that action is dangerous and irresponsible and has far-reaching implications.

#美中關係 5/20美國公布美國對中華人民共和國共16頁的戰略方針，這是根據2019年國防授權法案做全政府的檢討與總結，總結將中國定位為一個勢均力敵的對手。中國對此的看法是，若美國將中國視為勢均力敵的對手，美國將不再容許中國躲在開發中國家的地位中… #美退出《開放天空條約》 5/21美國國務卿龐畢歐宣布退出《開放天空條約》（Open Skies Treaty）。《開放天空條約》為1992年三十四國為建立互信，可至他國領空做各種空中偵察，然而，美國表示自從簽約後，俄國用了很多方法在其中違約，做很多情報的搜查工作，這對美國來說是不公平的，因此美國才會宣布退出… #伊朗/委內瑞拉 5/23深夜，伊朗有五艘運了汽油的船到了委內瑞拉。伊朗與委內瑞拉皆是產油國，但委內瑞拉近期因政治經濟凋敝，內部動亂層出不窮，因此它的煉油廠也在美國制裁下煉不出油，轉而向伊朗進口煉過的汽油，而伊朗也在幫委內瑞拉重建煉油廠… #北韓情勢 北韓官媒朝中社5/24報導，金正恩親自主持第七屆中央軍委第四次擴大會議，會議中討論快速發展自衛型國防力量，提升核子戰爭的嚇阻力，率領朝鮮重回核武與經濟發展並重的路線… 劉必榮教授和風談判學院：negotiation.eletang.com.tw

Ever since he became president, Donald Trump has made it a priority to withdraw America from the rest of the world, apparently a foundation of his so-called “America First” philosophy.But that action is dangerous and irresponsible and has far-reaching implications. Pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, for example, sets back the worldwide effort to combat climate change, which, of course, Trump denies.And that's just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.In this podcast, Not Fake News contributing writer Steve Hamelman focuses on this folly, with the decision to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty as the latest example.Take a listen “Pact Buster-in-Chief,” Steve's latest blog on Not Fake News.biz. I'll narrate.

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear, to talk about President Trump's decision to effectively ax the Open Skies Treaty, what explains Trump's penchant for shredding longstanding nuclear disarmament accords, and why his administration's policies may ignite a new nuclear arms race among dozens of countries currently without them.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear, to talk about President Trump's decision to effectively ax the Open Skies Treaty, what explains Trump's penchant for shredding longstanding nuclear disarmament accords, and why his administration's policies may ignite a new nuclear arms race among "dozens" of countries currently without them.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ian Goodrum, Senior Editor of China Daily, to talk about the proposed new security bill in Hong Kong, why it's causing so much consternation in the mainstream media, and the recent wave of violent unrest there.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie continue to be joined by Ian Goodrum to discuss why many "pro-democracy protesters" are closer to separatists, the broader US policy of weaponizing dissidents in ruling class attempts to balkanize non-aligned states, and the latest in the reemerging US economic war on China. Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by James Early, former Director of Cultural Heritage Policy at the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage at the Smithsonian Institution and board member of the Institute for Policy Studies, to talk about the horrific police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, South Carolina Senator James Clyburn's defense of Joe Biden's racist comments, and the links between police executions, liberalism, and the weaponization of whiteness by "Central Park Karen" Amy Cooper.

West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy is Now Open! 8am-9am PT/ 11am-Noon ET for our especially special Daily Specials, Smothered Benedict Wednesdays!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Trump is ‘turning out to be a ‘domestic enemy of the constitution' and everyone who is a direct witness to it ‘should be a whistleblower right now, it's not too late.'Then, on the rest of the menu, a federal judge threatened to toss Betsy DeVos in jail for contempt; Mitch McConnell's campaign bragged to supporters about how his wife Elaine Chao corruptly favored Kentucky developers; and, Trump's withdrawal from the Open Skies Treaty would be a big gift to Putin and undermine confidence in the US commitment to Ukraine, let alone our own freaking allies.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where China calls the Prague city council's move to cancel a partnership pact a 'breach of faith;' and, the United Nations could run out of money if member states don't pay what they owe.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"To those of us who believe that all of life is sacred every crumb of bread and sip of wine is a Eucharist, a remembrance, a call to awareness of holiness right where we are. I want all of the holiness of the Eucharist to spill out beyond church walls, out of the hands of priests and into the regular streets and sidewalks, into the hands of regular, grubby people like you and me, onto our tables, in our kitchens and dining rooms and backyards.” -- Shauna Niequist "Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table with Recipes"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Show Notes & Links: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/10/9/1891158/-West-Coast-Cookbook-Speakeasy-Daily-Special-Smothered-Benedict-Wednesdays
