FAÇA SUA INSCRIÇÃO PARA O VIVER DE RENDAABRA SUA CONTA NA COINBASESerá que o mercado de alta já começou?Depois de romper a região dos US$ 60 mil e se aproximar dos US$ 80 mil, a maior criptomoeda do mercado voltou a despertar o debate entre investidores: os ciclos de quatro anos ainda conseguem explicar seus movimentos ou o mercado está entrando em uma nova fase?Com a chegada dos ETFs, das Bitcoin Treasury Companies e de novas formas de exposição ao ativo, o Bitcoin parece cada vez mais integrado ao mercado financeiro tradicional.Mas, diante desse processo de amadurecimento, ainda faz sentido manter a custódia própria? Quais são as alternativas para quem está começando e como o investidor pode equilibrar segurança, praticidade e exposição ao ativo?O que realmente representa uma ameaça para quem investe em Bitcoin — e quais oportunidades podem surgir à medida que a criptomoeda conquista espaço entre instituições, empresas e investidores de todo o mundo?Além dos riscos regulatórios e da computação quântica, até que ponto a inteligência artificial pode impactar a segurança do ecossistema e o futuro do mercado de criptoativos?Para responder estas e mais perguntas, convidamos Gustavo Gomes, Fernando Ulrich e Felipe Santana para o episódio 316 do podcast Os Sócios.Falaremos sobre o Bitcoin e o mundo cripto, sua relevância crescente para a economia, riscos regulatórios, autocustódia, estratégias e muito mais.Ele será transmitido ao vivo nesta quinta-feira (17/09), às 12h, no canal Os Sócios Podcast.Hosts: Bruno Perini @bruno_perini e Malu Perini @maluperiniConvidados: Guilherme Gomes @oranjebtc, Fernando Ulrich @ulrich.fernando e Felipe Santana @felipetherSua marca no podcast Os Sócios: publicidade@timeprimo.com
YOUR WORD IS LAW.What if the words you speak every single day are shaping the reality you experience?Ben Mitchell returns to the Breaking Free Podcast for a powerful conversation about language, personal responsibility and the incredible influence our words can have on the way we think, feel and live.Drawing from his book Your Word Is Law, Ben breaks down the connection between language and personal empowerment and why keeping your word, choosing your language consciously and even embracing silence can completely change the way you show up in life.We dive into:• How our words can influence the reality we create.• The power of keeping promises to yourself and others.• Why silence can be one of your greatest tools.• Affirmations and conscious communication.• The origins of Ben's 10 frameworks.• How language can reveal unconscious patterns.• Breaking free from disempowering social programming.• The influence of media and external narratives.• Why personal growth starts with taking responsibility.• Gratitude, self-compassion and authenticity.• The positive changes Ben and Nathan are seeing in younger generations.This conversation isn't about blaming the world for where you are.It's about taking your power back.Because the moment you become conscious of the words you're speaking, the promises you're making and the stories you're repeating…You start changing the relationship you have with yourself and ultimately, your life.
Länge gick uppfostran ut på att knäcka barns vilja. Eva-Lotta Hultén berättar om den svarta pedagogiken och varför olydnad kan vara så viktigt. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Som liten var jag inte så förtjust i Astrid Lindgrens böcker om Lotta på Bråkmakargatan. Kanske för att hon påminde lite för mycket om mig själv. Liksom hon var jag infallsrik, impulsiv och mycket bestämd. Det var inte alltid egenskaper som uppskattades av omgivningen. Men idag känner jag en stor ömhet när jag tänker på den kavata Lotta – självständig och ”envis som en gammal get”. Ett kapitel jag tycker särskilt mycket om är det där hon flyttar hemifrån.Lotta vaknar på fel sida en morgon och hennes mamma har dessutom lagt fram en tröja som ”killar och sticks” åt henne. Hon vägrar envist att ta den på sig eftersom hon hellre vill ha sin finklänning. Mamma säger nej och det blir ingen frukost förrän Lotta klätt på sig tröjan. Det har inte avsedd effekt. I stället för att falla till föga tar Lotta fram en sax och klipper sönder det förhatliga plagget. Men en så trotsig handling är ändå i grövsta laget, det inser hon, och så rymmer hon hemifrån.Den första hierarkiska struktur vi får lära känna är familjen. När en förälder begär att ett barn ska bete sig på ett visst sätt så gör den i själva verket två saker: lär barnet hur man bör uppföra sig och tränar det i att rätta sig efter förälderns krav. Uppmaningen ”ta på dig den där tröjan” innehåller också förhållningsordern ”och lyd mig”. Det fungerar inte på Lotta för hon är inte av den sort som anpassar sig. Vid ett annat tillfälle, när hon behöver ta medicin, så vägrar hon också det. Storebrodern Jonas förklarar förnumstigt att när han måste ta medicin så bestämmer han sig bara för att ta den och så gör han det. Lotta svarar att när hon måste ta medicin så bestämmer hon sig för att inte göra det, och så gör hon det inte.Ungar som är så obstinata som Lotta är undantag, även om många går igenom en kortare trotsperiod. Människobarn är synnerligen hjälplösa och att anpassa sig till den som vårdar en är den säkraste vägen till överlevnad. Det gör oss generellt extremt ”uppfostringsbara” – och sårbara även för indoktrinering och ren lydnadsfostran. Vilket gör att vi behöver fundera över om vi vill att barn ska göra rätt för att de förstår vad som är rätt eller för att de är rädda för straff, eller längtar efter gemenskap och belöningar.Länge sågs lydnad i sig som ett viktigt mål för uppfostran. I en barnuppfostringsbok som fick spridning under slutet av 1800-talet kan man läsa att ”Minsta motstånd som göres med vett och vilja, skall straffas allvarsamt; det är myndighets store hemlighet”. Boken ingick i en våg av skrifter om hur man bäst tuktar barn. Det var rentav fel att ägna sig åt övertalning för om barnet hade övertalats hade det ju faktiskt gjort som det själv ville. Det hade antagit föräldrarnas sätt att se på saken, men det hade inte böjt sig. Och det skulle barn lära sig. I flera böcker från denna tid beskrevs barn som potentiellt onda och i stort sett alla medel var tillåtna för att göra dem lydiga.Psykoanalytikern Alice Miller gjorde på 1980-talet i sin bok I begynnelsen var uppfostran en exposé över vad hon kallar den svarta pedagogiken. Den hade genomsyrat barnuppfostran i många århundraden och gick i korthet ut på att så tidigt som möjligt knäcka barns vilja. Alice Miller ansåg att denna svarta pedagogik hade fått, och fortsatte att få, allvarliga samhällskonsekvenser eftersom den gör vuxna människor oförmögna att skilja andras vilja från deras egen. Det brutala nedbrytandet av våra sanna jag börjar ofta så tidigt att vi inte klarar att ens senare i livet förstå vad som gjorts mot oss. Vår reflex när någon pekar med hela handen blir därför att underkasta oss utan att ifrågasätta.Barn som lyder lär sig att förlägga orsaken till sitt eget handlade utanför sig själva, och det gäller för både positiva och negativa handlingar. De gör gott om andra säger åt dem, gör ont av samma orsak och förhåller sig passiva om det saknas förhållningsorder, enligt Alice Miller. Hon använder ett så starkt uttryck för vad den svarta pedagogiken gör med barn som ”psykiskt mord”.Miller studerade ett antal av ledarna för Hitlers tredje rike och konstaterade att de alla hade fått en sträng och strikt uppfostran. När en auktoritär person som Hitler befallde, på ungefär samma sätt som deras egna föräldrar gjort under deras barndom, var det lätt för dem att falla in i rollen som lydigt barn.Om olydnad inte existerar som ett möjligt alternativ i ens tankevärld är motståndskraften mot illegitima order från myndigheter eller ledare utraderad.Lotta på Bråkmakargatan tar konsekvenserna av sitt hårdnackade motstånd mot både sticksiga tröjor och stränga förhållningsorder och installerar sig på grannen tant Bergs uthusvind. Där blir flykten från hemmet en rolig lek ända till kvällen. Men så kommer mörkret. Livet i det egna hushållet känns plötsligt både ensamt och skrämmande, trots sällskap av gosedjuret Bamsen. Ändå blir Lotta envist kvar. Hon klarar inte annat.Men Lotta har tur. Hennes föräldrar har inte anammat den svarta pedagogikens idéer om att bryta ner all opposition hos sitt barn. De förstår att dottern behöver hjälp att ta sig tillbaka in i familjegemenskapen utan att ge avkall på sin värdighet och integritet. Med stor kärlek hämtar de hem den nu gråtande Lotta. Något skäll för den förstörda tröjan hörs inte och Lottas mamma hjälper henne försiktigt att be om förlåtelse på ett sätt som fungerar för henne. Relationen är viktigare än ett klädesplagg.Lottas föräldrars sätt att hantera situationen påminner mig om de metoder som den danske familjeterapeuten Jesper Juul förespråkade, och går ut på att visa respekt för barnets integritet och ha ett demokratiskt förhållningssätt. Hans böcker blev populära bland föräldrar kring millennieskiftet, fyra decennier efter böckerna om Lotta. Men den svarta pedagogiken är tyvärr inte död ännu. Tvärtom, den blomstrar. Den som föreslår ökad hårdhet mot barn som lösning på allt från dåliga skolresultat och egensinne till kriminalitet får röster och likes.Det vi ständigt tycks glömma är att detta att inte kunna böja sig är både en styrka och en svaghet. De oböjliga barnen behöver ofta hjälp att ta sig ut ur hörn de målar in sig i, eller ännu hellre – stöd att inte ens hamna där. Förhoppningsvis inser Lottas mamma att hon nästa gång kan erbjuda fler alternativ än underkastelse eller totalt uppror. Finklänningen kanske inte är ett lämpligt val en vardag men högst sannolikt finns det andra kläder i garderoben.Men den som gör motstånd kan också behöva uppmuntran i sin förmåga att tänka och handla självständigt för det kommer ofta med ett pris – till exempel andras ilska. Som föräldrar kan vi låta våra barn få träna sig på att göra motstånd på ett klokt sätt genom att visa dem hur protester kan bli konstruktiva och hur förhandlingar kan leda till förändringar. Vi kan uppmuntra att barn framför åsikter, men tipsa om bra sätt att prata med varandra. För kanske är det de besvärliga barnen som besitter modet att leda upproret mot övermakten när vi verkligen behöver det.Eva-Lotta Hulténjournalist och författareProducent: Ann Lingebrandt LitteraturLars H Gustafsson: Växa – inte lyda, Norstedts 2010Jesper Juul: Här är jag!

Raised in Denmark, Hans Tofte eventually began a lifetime of adventures working for the Special Operations Executive (a precursor to the OSS); the OSS during WWII; and the CIA during the Korean War and afterward. Known for his indefatigable support for Yugoslave partisans in 1943-44; his inolvement in regime change in Guatemala in 1954, and his involvement in the Korean War's Operation TP-STOLE in which he cut off critical medical supplies to Chinese forces fighting in North Korea, (clandestinely supplied by the Indian government) simultaneously saving the U.S. government $1MM and saving many American lives.Author, historian, and former intelligence officer David A. Foy shares Tofte's remarkable story, and how he ended up forgotten by history and the agency where he was a legend; all drawn from his book, "Superspy."Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com
Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, River City Hash Mondays is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Trump was blindsided by his own judge in a 12:30am ruling blocking his mail-in ballot scheme.Then, on the rest of the menu, Ted Cruz mercilessly booed by college football fans on a live ESPN interview, has ignited a firestorm inside the network; while retail investors have lost over a billion bucks, four anonymous accounts that perfectly correspond with the Trump Family holdings, have taken the first step to enable offloading their own crypto worth several billions of dollars; and, major retailer Costco has begun rationing purchases of its branded motor oil because of shortages caused by Trump's illegal war.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where in the lead up to the national elections, Turkish authorities launched a massive crackdown on LGBTQ+ and HIV support groups to “protect children, the institution of the family, and public order;” and, Jared promised a win win they couldn't refuse, so when it looked like they might, former CIA Director David Petraeus and scores of European leaders and security advisers from several EU member states on diplomatic trains leaving the Yahodyn railway station near the Ukraine-Poland border, was attacked by Russian drones on Sunday, coincidence?All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live PlayerKeep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“I was never a spy.

What does it actually mean to become a man?In this episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with Harley Gonzalez for a raw conversation about men's mental health, relationships, sexuality, emotional intelligence and personal growth.We dive into the sexual shame many young men carry, the lack of meaningful initiation into puberty and adulthood, and what happens when boys are expected to figure out manhood entirely on their own. Harley and I also unpack the difference between falling in love and consciously choosing to love someone, the challenges of opening your heart after heartbreak, and why emotional intelligence is so important for healthy relationships.Harley opens up about rebuilding his relationship with his son and his journey of personal growth, while I share his own experience of meeting his partner Britt through a series of seemingly unlikely coincidences.The conversation goes deeper into masculine and feminine dynamics, hypergamy, manifestation, presence, emotional processing and what men can do to become more grounded, self-aware and emotionally capable.A conversation about what it means to grow up, open your heart, take responsibility and become the man you were meant to be.Thank you for listening and watching wherever in the world you are..

Aaron interviews David Aronchick, CEO @ Expanso (former PM lead for Kubernetes, Kubeflow co-founder, and open-source ML leader at Azure) about how open source is reshaping the AI infrastructure stack. Aronchick recounts his path from early Linux and enterprise work to launching Kubernetes and GKE, then creating Kubeflow in 2017 to orchestrate end-to-end ML workflows on Kubernetes. The discussion centers on gaps in AI infrastructure, especially reproducibility and determinism across hardware, drivers, OS, packages, and data lineage, arguing Kubernetes alone can't fully solve it. They contrast open weights with true open-source models, noting that real openness would require reproducible training data and infrastructure. They explore “AI-native” enterprise architecture, the role of open-source harnesses/wrappers to add deterministic controls, and growing edge/distributed compute needs driven by governance, compliance, bandwidth, and hybrid deployment realities.SHOW: 1061SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1061 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/kpQg3YIIUL8SHOW LINKS:Expanso homepageTechArena, "Expanso's David Aronchick on Data Gravity and Pipeline Debt": Open at Intel podcast, "Data Privacy and Efficiency with Bacalhau Compute Over Data"SHOW SPONSORS:NordLayer - Use ENTERPRISE10 for 10% offNasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoSHOW TOPICS:You have a super interesting background (First managing PM for Kubernetes, Co-founded Kubeflow, led open-source ML at Microsoft Azure). Give everyone a brief introduction and how you became so involved in open-source and the EnterpriseOSS topics:Back when we were The Cloudcast, we covered K8s in depth, but I'm not sure we ever did a show on Kubeflow. Kubeflow tried to bring Kubernetes-style orchestration to ML workflows. Looking back, what did that generation of open-source AI infrastructure get right, and what did it miss that the current wave (agents, inference at the edge) is now having to solve for again? Oh, and maybe give a quick intro to Kubeflow as well for those that aren't familiarZooming out - open source shaped your whole career, from Kubernetes to Kubeflow to Bacalhau. Where do you think open source has the most leverage in the AI infrastructure stack right now, and where do you think it's losing ground to closed, vendor-controlled platforms?What are your thoughts on “OSS models”? Today, OSS really means open weights. Do you think there will ever be a truly OSS model? What would it take? Thoughts on the state of the industry?A couple of Enterprise “grab bag” questions for you on a few different topics while we have you:"AI-native" gets used a lot and means different things to different people. What does AI-native actually mean for enterprise architecture in your view, and how is it different from just bolting AI onto an existing cloud or data stack?Regulatory and data residency pressure keeps coming up across industries (telecom, healthcare, financial services). How much of the edge/distributed compute push is being driven by AI performance needs versus governance and compliance requirements?

Imagine parachuting into Nazi-occupied France with no guarantee that you'll survive the night. Your mission: arm the Resistance, sabotage the enemy, gather intelligence, and rescue Allied airmen. Now imagine doing it while sometimes posing as a fashion designer or a Vichy official—and then surrendering to more than 100 German soldiers because you've negotiated to save an entire French village. This isn't the plot of a Hollywood spy thriller. It's the story of Pierre "Peter" Ortiz, one of the most decorated members of America's Office of Strategic Services, the wartime organization that became a forerunner of the CIA and modern American special operations. And one of the Allied airmen Ortiz rescued was the grandfather of today's guest. Years later, journalist Katie Sanders discovered a 1949 recording of her grandfather describing his experience—and began a journey into the extraordinary life of a man she'd never heard of. Today we're going behind the classified history of World War II, into occupied France, the French Resistance, the OSS, and the remarkable story of the man who saved her grandfather's life.
Rick Elder, CEO of HUXWRX Safety Co., joins Whiskey & Windage for a deep dive into suppressor technology, human exposure, engineering, and where the industry is headed next.Rick walks us through his background in the military and U.S. Special Operations Command, how he became involved with OSS, and why he ultimately replatformed the company into HUXWRX Safety Co. From there, we get into the real reason “Safety Co.” is in the name.We discuss Flow-Through® technology, back pressure, sound at the shooter's ear, signature reduction, equipment reliability, and HUXWRX's research into gas, particulate exposure, hearing, brain health, and long-term shooter safety. Rick also explains why military, law enforcement, and commercial suppressor requirements can be very different—and why HUXWRX develops products around specific use cases rather than trying to make one solution do everything.We also talk about testing, transparency, additive manufacturing, quality control, the explosion of new suppressor companies entering the market, leadership, mentorship, company culture, and what HUXWRX could become over the next decade.This is one of our most technical suppressor conversations yet, but it goes far beyond products. It's a conversation about engineering, accountability, innovation, and building technology around the people who actually use it.
Swapping Secrets is officially one year old, and apparently the best way to celebrate is to drag some of our funniest, filthiest, smartest and most chaotic moments back into the light. Jess and Lawrence revisit the clips they still can't forget, alongside some brilliant moments from the guests and community members who've joined them over the past year. We're talking open relationships, swinging, consent, communication, first-time nerves, bisexuality, sexual health, stage fright, relationship agreements, awkward confessions, questionable Google searches and plenty of things that probably sounded like a better idea before somebody turned the microphones on. There's been a lot of sex, obviously. But there's also been a year of learning how people communicate, explore relationships, navigate boundaries, laugh at themselves and find their place in this wonderfully weird community.

L'avvio del nuovo anno scolastico riporta al centro del dibattito il tema dell'assistenza agli alunni con disabilità nel territorio vicentino, tra l'emergenza legata al reperimento di un numero sufficiente di Oss, la task force messa in campo dalla Ulss 7 Pedemontana per il distretto Alto Vicentino e le polemiche sulle scelte strategiche della Regione Veneto.
What do you do when your father leaves behind an unfinished novel—and your father happens to be one of the most beloved and prolific storytellers in American literature? Do you finish it? And if you do, how do you make it his story while also making it your own? That's the fascinating challenge Beau L'Amour faced with Skyring Water, a new novel based on a partial manuscript by his late father, legendary author Louis L'Amour. The story takes us to 1961, when the Cold War is reaching a dangerous point. The Berlin Wall is dividing East and West. Nuclear tensions are escalating. Empires are crumbling. And then, in Barcelona, a rogue East German STASI officer sets off a chain of events involving struggling arms dealers, organized crime, intelligence agencies—and 30 tons of stolen gold hidden in an icebound wilderness at the end of the world. At the center are Mike Fowler, a former Navy salvage diver and OSS assassin, and Anton Voss, an expatriate German scientist whose mysterious past becomes increasingly dangerous. Once enemies, they've become inseparable friends. But when Mike discovers Anton standing over a midnight visitor with a gun, everything changes. Soon they're running from gangsters, the CIA, Israeli intelligence, and a mysterious organization intent on building an invisible empire. The trail stretches from Marseille to Caracas to Patagonia—and eventually leads straight into Anton's Nazi past. Today, I'm joined by Beau L'Amour to talk about Skyring Water, the extraordinary process of completing a story his father began, and what it means to collaborate with a writer who has been gone for years—but whose voice remains unmistakable.
He wore his U.S. Marine uniform openly in Nazi-occupied France. He forced a room fu of German officers to raise a toast to President Roosevelt at gunpoint. He escaped POW camps, trained the French Resistance, and once surrendered himself to save an entire village from destruction. Peter Ortiz was one of the most decorated Marines of World War II - and almost no one has heard his story. Until now.Ortiz's War: The Allies' Secret Weapon Against the Nazis in France by Nicholas Reynolds and Katie S. Sanders (releasing August 25, 2026, from Harper Horizon) brings to life the extraordinary exploits of a man who lived like a character out of fiction, yet every word is true.Co-author Katie S. Sanders, an investigative journalist, uncovered a family secret hidden in an archival recording of the radio show This Is Your Life. Her grandfather, Jewish-American B-24 pilot Lieutenant Murray Simon, had been shot down over occupied France, and guided to safety by Peter Ortiz himself. That discovery sent Katie on a years-long journey to document the man who saved her grandfather's life. It's a compelling human story of legacy, memory, and gratitude that resonates far beyond the WWII shelf.. Nicholas Reynolds brings deep authority to the narrative. A retired Marine Corps Colonel and former infantry officer, he holds a PhD from Oxford University and served as a historian for both the Marine Corps and the CIA Museum. Together, Reynolds and Sanders pair rigorous historical research with the intimacy of family history.What Ortiz's War offers:The real-life James Bond: Ortiz's daring, cinematic exploits as an OSS operative behind enemy lines, complete with disguises, gunpoint toasts, and audacious escapes.The surrender at Centron: The gripping account of how Ortiz gave himself up to spare a French village from Nazi reprisal, a story of honor and self-sacrifice.A granddaughter's quest: Katie's personal search to trace the man who rescued her grandfather, and what she learned along the way.Inside the secret war: The complex, sometimes tense collaboration between the OSS, the British SOE, and the French Resistance.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

ENTRE NA LISTA DE ESPERA DO VIVER DE RENDA: https://r.vocemaisrico.com/cb950398e4Você já se perguntou como surgimos, ou o que realmente nos torna humanos?De Charles Darwin aos dias de hoje, a teoria da evolução mudou para sempre a forma como entendemos a vida na Terra. Mas o que é evolução, afinal? E o que diz, de fato, a seleção natural? Por que ela não significa "sobrevivência do mais forte", mas sim "do mais adaptado"?Da origem da vida às grandes extinções em massa, o planeta guarda registros fascinantes de como espécies surgiram, dominaram e desapareceram. Dos dinossauros à megafauna, dos "elos perdidos" às espécies humanas que já existiram antes de nós, cada descoberta revela mais sobre os "experimentos" da natureza e sobre nossa própria origem.Mas a evolução não parou no passado: ela explica também o presente. Por que temos certas emoções? Somos naturalmente monogâmicos ou isso é imposição cultural? Até que ponto o livre-arbítrio existe, ou nossas decisões são, na verdade, determinadas por processos biológicos moldados ao longo de milhões de anos?E o futuro? A evolução ainda está em curso? A inteligência artificial pode impactar nossa própria biologia? E será que, um dia, a ciência vencerá o envelhecimento e a morte?Para responder estas e muitas outras perguntas, convidamos o Dr. Alberto Lindner, biólogo, mestre em Zoologia pela USP e doutor em Biologia pela Duke University, para o episódio 313 do podcast Os Sócios. Falaremos sobre Darwin e a teoria da evolução, extinções e espécies extintas, ancestrais humanos, biologia do comportamento e muito mais.Hosts: Bruno Perini @bruno_perini e Malu Perini @maluperiniConvidado: Alberto Lindner @betolindner
What happens when you stop following the script society handed you? In this episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with QuantiMama Jodi for a wide-ranging conversation about relationships, parenting, birth, homeschooling, personal growth and what it really means to live intentionally. Jodi shares lessons from her work in birth education and homeschooling, along with personal experiences from marriage and parenting. They unpack how societal expectations can quietly shape the way we approach relationships, family and even our definition of a “successful” life. The conversation explores radical self-responsibility, conscious parenting, empowered birth, gratitude, presence, nature, modern relationships, AI, writing books and breaking free from the conditioning that keeps us disconnected from ourselves and each other. A raw conversation about taking responsibility, questioning the script and creating a life that actually aligns with your values. If you're questioning the way you've been told you're supposed to live, this episode is for you. Thank you for listening and watching wherever in the world you are.

What happens when the honeymoon phase ends and the real work begins? In this special collaborative episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with Shannon Harrison, host of The Womanhood Podcast, for a deeply personal conversation about love, relationships, self-development and what it actually takes to build a lasting partnership. Shannon and I open up about their own relationship journeys from early dating experiences and synchronicities to long-term partnership, commitment, living together and navigating the uncomfortable moments that force us to grow. I share my journey into my relationship with Britt, including how personal development, unexpected guidance and synchronicities played a role in bringing them together. Shannon shares her own story with Elliot, including the importance of friendship, personal growth and consciously choosing commitment. Together, we explore the realities of conscious relationships including emotional triggers, inner-child patterns, vulnerability, communication, patience and learning to understand your partner's emotional language. We also dive into how differences in emotional needs and the menstrual cycle can impact relationships, and why understanding rather than reacting can completely change the dynamic between two people. This conversation is about what happens when two people are willing to look at themselves, communicate honestly and grow together. Thank you for listening and watching wherever in the world you are!

Den första veckan efter sommarlovet slutar i tragik på Brinellskolan i Fagersta, när en 18-årig elev går till attack med ett svärd. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Fredagen den 21 augusti larmas polisen om pågående dödligt våld på Brinellskolan i Fagersta, kommunens enda gymnasieskola.– Jag förstår först inte vad som händer, men sen ser jag en kille som går mot oss med något i handen, säger Minnea Wennmyr, elev på skolan. Hon sitter i elevhallen med sina kompisar när den maskerade gärningsmannen går till attack och hugger flera personer.Innan polisen övermannar honom hinner han skada tre tonårspojkar – och döda en 17-årig flicka.Den misstänkta gärningsmannen är 18-åriga Liam Nebel, som själv är elev på skolan. Strax före dådet läggs en bild ut på TikTok, från ett konto som enligt uppgifter till Sveriges Radio ska tillhöra den misstänkta mannen. Bilden visar en långt svärd ovanpå på ett gitarrfodral, och påstås vara tagen inne på Brinellskolans toalett.Under den senaste månaden har kontot återkommande publicerat korta filmklipp som hyllar tidigare attacker.– Det är delningar som hyllar och glorifierar olika terrorister, massmördare och skolskjutare, säger Morgan Finnsiö, researcher på Expo.I det här avsnittet besöker P3 Krim Fagersta dagarna efter dådet, och träffar ambulanssjuksköterskan Nadja, eleverna Waran, Dylan och Rahaf, Minnea Wennmyr – som hamnade mitt i svärdattacken och flydde för sitt liv, och hennes mamma Carola Wennmyr. Du hör också polisen Lars Bröms, som ingår i den grupp som på uppdrag av regeringen ska analysera och föreslå åtgärder för att förhindra så kallade vansinnesdåd.Liam Nebel är nu häktad för mord och mordförsök. Han har medgett att det föreligger sannolika skäl för mord men inte mordförsök. Uppdatering 26 augusti: Ytterligare en person har anhållits för inblandning i skolattacken i Fagersta, den mannen är misstänkt för medhjälp till mord och medhjälp till försök till mord, uppger Åklagarmyndigheten.Uppdatering 27 augusti: Den tonårspojke som misstänks för medhjälp till mord och medhjälp till försök till mord efter skoldådet i Fagersta har häktats. Enligt uppgifter till Sveriges Radio är pojken 16 år. Polisen uppger att pojken inte har någon koppling till skolan. Han ska heller inte ha varit på plats vid tiden för dådet, säger åklagaren Ann-Sofie Trossing till P3 Krim.Programledare: Linus Lindahl och Jenny HellströmReporter: Petra BerggrenLjud: Fredrik NilssonProducent: Jenny HellströmKontakt: p3krim@sverigesradio.seTipstelefon: 0734-61 29 15 (samma på Signal)
Grandfathers, grandfathers. Yesterday, David Baerwald talked about his grandfather, Ernst Baerwald, an American spy in Second World War Japan. Today, Katie S. Sanders talks about her grandfather, Murray Simon, whose life was saved by an American spy in Second World War France. In Ortiz's War, co-authored with historian Nicholas Reynolds, Sanders writes about Peter Ortiz, who became the Allies' secret weapon against the Nazis in France. With his stunning looks, Ortiz might have been a Hollywood creation. Polylingual Franco-American aristocrat, French Foreign Legion, race-car driver, circus lion tamer, the most battle-decorated member of America's first spy agency. He even played himself (anonymous brave soldier) in a number of post-war Hollywood movies. I wish he was my grandfather. Five Takeaways • The Spy Who Saved Her Grandfather. Murray Simon was a 23-year-old Jewish kid from Queens who had never flown before the Army Air Forces trained him — then sent him over occupied France in a black-painted B-24 Liberator carrying spy supplies and carrier pigeons for the resistance. Shot down on May 6, 1944, a month before D-Day, on an OSS mission whose standing advice was don't get shot down — spies were tortured and killed, not taken prisoner — he was hidden by a Bulgarian-born Jew passing as Catholic, a man with an eight-month-old daughter and a pregnant wife who was “already supposed to be dead” and opened his door anyway. Smuggled onward, Murray was intercepted by Peter Ortiz — and made it home to the GI Bill, a family, and what he called “the warm womb of Uncle Sam.” Katie never met him; the book is her way of meeting him. “I gravitate towards stories of resistance, probably in part because I'm a product of one.” Publication day: the anniversary of the liberation of Paris.• No Peacetime Soldier. Peter J. Ortiz's résumé reads like an unpublishable novel: son of a founding editor of Paris Vogue; French boarding-school runaway into the Foreign Legion (North Africa, Casablanca included); merchant seaman, dude-ranch manager, race-car driver, circus lion tamer; wounded fighting the Germans in 1940, captured, serially escaped — once off a hospital train under a dead soldier's identity; docked in New York the day after Pearl Harbor and enlisted in the Marines, rising to become the most battle-decorated member of the OSS and one of the most decorated Marines of the war. His military file: not a good candidate for a desk job, ever. He spoke five languages, not Wikipedia's ten (“Wikipedia is a storyteller”), walked into bars in occupied France wearing his Marine uniform, and wrote his own epitaph in a twenty-page memoir: “I'm no peacetime soldier.” Afterward: John Ford's Hollywood, minor roles, his own uniforms as costume — and no bragging, ever.• The Heroic Surrender at Centron. The book's climax is Operation Union II, August 1944 — Ortiz's own inter-Allied mission into the Alps, culminating in the massive “Le Grand Parachutage” supply drop to the Maquis. He recruited his own Parris Island parachute instructors — Marines who remembered the legionnaire who blew them all away at boot camp — plus Francis Coolidge: Harvard dropout, fellow Foreign Legion veteran, and great-great-great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson. When his patrol was surrounded at the village of Centron by vastly superior German forces on a murderous late-war rampage, Ortiz chose saving the town over fighting — the surrender as the war's most heroic act, bravery as the capacity to think while being shot at. Centron celebrates him every year; Katie was just there with Marines stationed in Germany, for the eighty-second anniversary. Guiding lights: noblesse oblige, Don Quixote, and a lifelong allergy to McCarthyism.• Wild Bill's Wartime Startup. The OSS — forerunner of the CIA, whose Langley lobby still holds Wild Bill Donovan's statue — was, in Katie's telling, a wartime startup: 13,000 military and civilian personnel, mostly Wall Street lawyers, bankers, cryptographers, and cartographers, with a tiny operational subset that included Moe Berg, Virginia Hall trekking the Pyrenees on a wooden leg, and Ortiz. Donovan — World War One Medal of Honor recipient, FDR's “secret legs,” the man who could “see an acorn, envision an oak tree” — was banned from D-Day as the one man carrying too many secrets, and went sniffing around anyway. J. Edgar Hoover was considered for the job and rejected, with Churchill's SOE helping tip the choice. “I respect Donovan a lot more than I respect J. Edgar Hoover.” The lineage runs straight to today's Navy SEALs and MARSOC — including past Keen On guest Brandon Webb.• Are We in 1939? Katie walks the museum timelines — 1933, and it's “not great”; 1936, and the warnings mount; “I certainly hope we're not in 1939.” Against Andrew's needling about greatest-generation nostalgia (via Brandon Webb's complicated heroism, Kristin Beck's good-and-evil seduction, Richard Overy's question of whether the war ever ended, and Matt Damon's regret-soaked Odysseus), she holds the line: someone like Ortiz is great in any time — and especially needed when democracy is under threat. The warfare itself has closed its chapter: her grandfather's black-painted bomber and carrier pigeons have become Ukraine's drones, delivering aid with less risk and less human connection alike. What survives the technology is the lesson: heroes don't brag — her grandfather and Ortiz would be mortified by the spotlight — and by illuminating what they did, the rest of us might learn to do the right thing. About the Guest Katie S. Sanders is an award-winning journalist who has written for National Geographic, The New York Times, Washington Post Magazine, TIME, Smithsonian, and Vanity Fair. Her reporting has brought her to the CIA, the White House, and the homes and reunions of World War II veterans and Holocaust survivors. After discovering that her late grandfather — a Jewish-American pilot shot down over France — was rescued by Peter Ortiz, she teamed up with the historian Nicholas Reynolds (Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy) to co-author Ortiz's War (Harper Horizon, August 25, 2026). A summa cum laude graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she lives in Brookline, Massachusetts.

In this episode, Stephan Talty, NY Times bestselling author, discusses his newest book “The American School of Spies: The Archaeologists Who Fought the Nazis and Saved the Treasures of Ancient Greece”. The book shares how the OSS used a group of unlikely spies in Greece during World War II to fight the Nazis and protect their homeland. Led by Rodney Young, the “Greek Desk” used their knowledge and connections to hide valuable artifacts and trick the Nazis with fake ones. When these efforts were no longer enough, Greek American soldiers joined the fight against the Nazis. Overall, the book shows how intelligence, courage, and teamwork helped protect both Greece and its history. Interview date Thursday, 28 May 2026.

Peter J. Ortiz was the most battle-decorated member of the OSS, America's wartime forerunner to the CIA, and one of the most decorated Marines of the Second World War. In 1944, the former French Foreign Legionnaire twice parachuted into occupied France to arm the Maquis, sabotage German lines, and feed intelligence to London ahead of D-Day. Chris speaks with former Marine and CIA historian Nicholas Reynolds and journalist Katie S. Sanders—whose grandfather, a downed airman, was among those Ortiz rescued—about their book Ortiz's War, and the moment when Ortiz surrendered to a hundred Germans to spare a village.

Guest Daniel Roe | Matias Capeletto Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, Richard Littauer sits down with Daniel Roe and Matias “Patak” Capeletto to talk about npmx, the community-built alternative interface for exploring the npm registry. They dive into how a small idea exploded into hundreds of contributors and thousands of pull requests, why the project intentionally puts people and community ahead of nonstop productivity, and how they're approaching governance, inclusion, burnout, and sustainability. They also explore how npmx could make finding the right JavaScript packages easier, the challenges of funding a fast-growing open source project, and why healthy open source communities need much more than great code. Start listening now! [00:02:22] Daniel explains what npmx is and what started in January 2026 quickly attracted dozens of pull requests, eventually growing to hundreds of contributors and a large Discord community. [00:05:44] They discuss modern web technology, Algolia powered search, dark mode, expanded download graphs, package comparisons, and other improvements contributed by the community, and about building around people instead of productivity. [00:09:58] Matias shares the open source project that went on vacation. [00:14:36] Daniel and Matias talk about managing disagreements, establishing a code of conduct, separating developer and user communities, and why shared values and inclusion are essential to the project. [00:18:43] Matias explains npmx's connection to the Ecosystem Performance community and how the site can surface modern or better-maintained alternatives instead of relying only on package popularity. [00:22:52] Rather than trying to support every programming ecosystem, Daniel talks about making npmx smarter within JavaScript and TypeScript. [00:26:54] They discuss sponsorships, grants, company partnerships, conferences, and the eventual need to fund one or two developers full-time if the project is going to thrive long term. [00:29:58] Daniel explains why open source needs more programmers. [00:31:54] Find out where you can go online to learn more and help with projects at npmx. Quotes [00:08:53] “It was very special for a lot of us that were a little lost with that connection and all the noise from companies telling people they're going to be replaced.” [00:11:37] “You are the thief of joy.” [00:13:03] “That was a side effect of people having fun with their friends that they were meeting for the first time online.” [00:16:56] “Everybody that shares our values is welcome, but it's not that everyone is welcome by itself.” [00:30:07] “I don't think OSS is a business.” Spotlight [00:33:18] Richard's spotlight is the book, With a Bird: A Reader on Avian Kinship and his digital alarm clock.

ENTRE NA LISTA DE ESPERA DO VIVER DE RENDA: https://r.vocemaisrico.com/32dfe58945 A história do Brasil que você aprendeu na escola é a verdadeira, ou apenas a versão que interessava contar?Por que a história que aprendemos na escola parece ser tão diferente da história real do Brasil? Do "descobrimento" às revoltas coloniais, do Império às diferentes fases da República, muitos dos fatos que consideramos absolutos escondem versões mais complexas — e às vezes bem diferentes do que os livros didáticos ensinam.Será que a miscigenação foi apenas um processo cultural espontâneo, ou também uma estratégia política deliberada? Os bandeirantes foram heróis ou vilões — ou nenhum dos dois? A abolição foi mesmo uma conquista pessoal da Princesa Isabel? E até que ponto figuras como D. Pedro II, D. João VI e Getúlio Vargas foram simplificadas por narrativas que serviam a interesses específicos de cada época?Será que, de fato, a "sequência de fatos" que aprendemos é história ou apenas uma seleção conveniente de eventos? Quantas vezes tomamos como verdade absoluta episódios que, na realidade, escondem disputas de poder, interesses econômicos e escolhas estratégicas?Para responder a essa e outras perguntas, recebemos Rafael Nogueira no episódio 312 do podcast Os Sócios.Hosts: Bruno Perini @bruno_perini e Malu Perini @maluperini Convidado: Rafael Nogueira @nogueira.r
What is actually happening inside our schools? Craig Cole returns to The Breaking Free Podcast to provide another update on the issues he believes Australian parents need to be paying attention to. In this confronting conversation, Craig and I discuss concerns surrounding gender theory, sexuality education, ideological influence, transparency, parental rights and what children are being exposed to within the education system. Craig shares updates from the past year, including concerning incidents involving children and school policies, while explaining why he believes parents cannot afford to remain passive. But this episode isn't simply about raising alarm. Craig explains what parents can actually DO including how to request information about curriculum content from their child's school, what to do when access to information is refused, and how parents can make a formal complaint.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we begin a journey into one of the darkest and most overlooked chapters of the 20th century: the establishment of neocolonialism in Africa after the formal end of European empires.After the Second World War, the dreams of a genuinely independent Africa – of nations free from exploitation, able to chart their own futures – were mercilessly snuffed out by Western powers. Drawing on Susan Williams's brilliant White Malice: The CIA and the Neocolonialisation of Africa, we explore the relationship between Ghana and Congo, and the forces that destroyed the hopes of the independence era.We begin with the brutal history of King Leopold II's Congo Free State – a territory nearly 80 times the size of Belgium, where an estimated 10 million Congolese people died as a consequence of forced labour, mutilation, and murder. The purpose of Belgian rule, as Kwame Nkrumah observed, was not to suppress slavery but to change its nature, to make it more profitable.But the exploitation did not end with formal decolonisation. The Congo's Shinkolobwe mine produced uranium of unparalleled richness – up to 75% uranium oxide, compared to ores from America that contained just 0.2%. This uranium was essential to the Manhattan Project, powering the atomic bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the war, the resource extraction continued, but through new means: corporate infiltration, debt, coups, and the tools of the Bretton Woods system.We trace the origins of American intelligence operations in Africa, from the OSS bases in Accra, Cape Town, and Addis Ababa, to the top-secret mission to protect Congolese uranium from falling into enemy hands. And we consider the broader tragedy of neocolonialism – how the West used every tool at its disposal to ensure that Africa's resources remained under its control, long after the flags of empire had been lowered.Topics covered:The Belgian Congo and the crimes of King Leopold IIThe forced labour system and the rubber tradeThe Shinkolobwe uranium mineThe Manhattan Project and the atomic bombThe OSS and early US intelligence in AfricaKwame Nkrumah and Pan-AfricanismThe tools of neocolonialism: debt, coups, and corporate powerThe continuing relevance of resource exploitation todaySusan Williams's White Malice is available from all good bookshops.

SUMMARY: This episode is the second part and explores the flip side of OSS models. Last episode, we discussed the potential decline; this episode, we'll talk about the potential positive future of OSS models. Aaron and Brandon explore the future of open source AI models, the role of industry consortia, and how major tech companies like NVIDIA, Apple, and Google are shaping the AI landscape. They discuss the potential for open models to become industry standards and the strategic motivations behind these moves.SHOW: 1054SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1054 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/w238Y1ZKG1QSHOW SPONSORS:Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demo Topic: Are we seeing the end of OSS models?Why now?

Why do the same arguments keep happening? Why do certain people trigger us so deeply? And what if the biggest obstacle in our relationships isn't the other person... but the unconscious patterns we've carried for years? In this episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with Matt Castle, neurotransformational therapy practitioner and NLP life coach, for a powerful conversation on relationships, emotional healing, and personal transformation. Matt explains how emotional triggers are often unresolved patterns rather than problems created by other people. Together, we explore how changing the meaning we assign to our emotions can completely transform the way we experience conflict, connection, and love. The conversation also dives into fear, judgement, nervous system regulation, personal values, and the importance of becoming someone who responds rather than reacts. Matt also shares his own personal journey, including navigating ongoing court proceedings, parenting challenges, and how those experiences shaped his mission to support men going through separation and major life transitions. Whether you're single, dating, married, separated, or simply wanting healthier relationships, this episode offers practical insights to help you understand yourself and others on a much deeper level. In this episode: Why emotional triggers aren't your enemy The hidden patterns sabotaging relationships Responding instead of reacting How NLP can reshape emotional responses Fear, judgement and unconscious programming Aligning your values for stronger relationships Men's mental health after separation Parenting, resilience and personal growth Building emotional intelligence Creating healthier, more conscious relationships If you've ever wondered why the same relationship challenges keep showing up, this conversation may help you see them through a completely different lens.

Last time we spoke about the ending of the Second Battle of Changsha. In late September and early October 1941, Chinese commander Chen Cheng planned an operation to retake Yichang, a strategic Yangtze River city whose control was essential for protecting the approach to Chongqing. Japanese forces were pulling back from Changsha, weakened by supply problems and casualties, which created an opportunity for Chen to intensify his campaign. Yichang had been captured by Japan in 1940, a defeat that Chen carried as a personal and political burden. He therefore moved to encircle the Japanese 13th Division inside Yichang and drive it to collapse. Although the Chinese held a clear manpower advantage—fourteen divisions against the encircled Japanese—progress was slowed by stubborn fighting from prepared, entrenched positions. The battle inside the city produced desperate close-quarters combat and heavy casualties, showing how the fate of Yichang and the wider defense of Chongqing were tightly linked. #214 War hits the Pacific 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. The guns fell silent on October 9, 1941, as the Ninth War Zone's forces restored their pre-battle positions, marking the end of the Second Battle of Changsha. The balance sheet was grim on both sides, but it was China that bore the heavier cost. The Ninth Military Front suffered 70,672 killed, wounded, or missing. The concurrent Yichang offensive added a further 21,368 casualties to the Sixth Military Front, a force that outnumbered its Japanese opponents ten to one yet still failed to retake the city. By the time the dust settled, the Chinese army had lost nearly 100,000 men across both theatres. The Chinese command was frank, at least in private, about what had gone wrong. The Japanese had moved with a speed that recalled Blitzkrieg, advancing 130 kilometres in eleven days and withdrawing at twelve kilometres a day, catching the defenders perpetually off-balance. The 26th, 37th, 10th, and 74th Corps had been picked apart piecemeal rather than fighting in concert, the original plan to destroy the Japanese south of the Miluo River coming to nothing. Elite formations had paid a disproportionate price: the 74th Corps suffered 14,521 casualties, the 37th Corps 14,015, and the 58th Division alone lost 6,192 of its 11,907 men, nearly its entire fighting strength. Yet none of this was the story the public would hear. On October 10th, China's National Day, radio stations announced the "Second Great Victory in Northern Hunan", the annihilation of over 40,000 enemy troops. Newspapers rushed out special editions. Congratulatory telegrams flooded in from government ministries and civic organizations. Senior officials seized on the moment: Sun Ke, Premier of the Executive Yuan, declared that the victory "laid the foundation for the counter-offensive and the recapture of Hankou and Guangzhou," while General Bai Chongxi called it "the pivotal moment for us to turn defeat into victory." Chiang Kai-shek, reading through the pages of triumphant commentary produced overnight by his propagandists, was reportedly impressed by their industry, if not convinced by their content. He had not wanted to call it a victory at all, but the political calculus was unavoidable: after four years of war, an exhausted nation needed the psychological sustenance that only "victory" could provide. The gap between public performance and private reality was nowhere more visible than in the arrival of a twenty-two-member international press delegation on October 13th. Journalists from Britain, the United States, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Hong Kong, and major Chinese newspapers were flown to Changsha and carefully guided through selected battlefields, where they inspected mountains of war trophies and heard testimony from soldiers and civilians. They left satisfied, presenting their war souvenirs—swords, binoculars, Japanese military flags—to their audiences back home as proof of Chinese heroism and Japanese defeat. Both China and Japan were claiming victory simultaneously. The only conclusion the foreign press could draw was that one side was lying, and it was not the side that had shown them the evidence. Chiang Kai-shek's real verdict came at the Third Nanyue Military Conference, held from October 16 to 21. His anger was withering. He condemned his generals for their obsession with defending sprawling outer perimeter lines while leaving city centres barely fortified, a mentality so rigid, he said, that the Japanese could announce the exact time of their advance and withdrawal in advance and still execute it on schedule without interference. "Generals, what a disgrace this is!" On the failure to capture prisoners, only 263 prisoners were claimed across the entire front, of whom only 16 names were actually published, he was almost incredulous: "We can definitely defeat the enemy, capture many enemy prisoners, and seize countless enemy weapons! Even if we cannot capture ten thousand prisoners, we should at least capture a thousand! If not a thousand, then at least a hundred! But now, you don't even have ten!" The conference handed down punishments to match the rhetoric. Liao Lingqi, commander of the shattered 58th Division, was sentenced to death for desertion and shot on October 22nd. His men were so outraged that three regimental commanders resigned in protest; the division was pulled from the order of battle entirely and given three months to rebuild. Li Yutang, commander of the 10th Corps, was dismissed—though the Third Battle of Changsha would begin before his replacement could take post, and he would be reinstated to play a key role in the city's defence. On the Japanese side, the 11th Army acknowledged 1,670 killed, 5,184 wounded, and 14 missing, far fewer than Chinese claims, though post-war regimental histories suggest the true figure was higher. Lieutenant General Anami, who had championed the operation, found himself stung by the charge that the battle had served mainly as material for Chinese propaganda. On November 23rd, he reportedly reacted with visible displeasure when someone in his headquarters said as much aloud. Anami's annoyance was easy enough to understand, but the accusation carried a troubling degree of accuracy. The Second Battle of Changsha had yielded no decisive strategic gain and no substantial alteration in the military balance. What it did generate, rather effectively, was a story and by the autumn of 1941, stories were one of the few things China still had in plentiful supply. The most consequential struggles were taking place not along the Miluo River, but in foreign ministries and embassies, in Washington and Moscow, in the messages passing between Chongqing and London, and in the increasingly strained calculations of statesmen trying to determine, amid rapidly changing circumstances, whom to support and for how long. For Chiang Kai-shek, the challenge was never merely military. It was structural, and had been so from the outset. He had always seen clearly, precisely because he understood China's weakness, that Japan could not be defeated by China alone. The country lacked the industrial base, the logistical reach, and after four years of relentless attrition more and more the manpower needed to force a decisive result on the battlefield. China's survival depended on making its war inseparable from the wars of other powers. Since 1937, Chiang's diplomacy had pursued that single objective: convincing enough great powers that their interests were aligned with China's, and holding that coalition together long enough for Japan to be subdued. That effort turned out to be vastly more difficult than it ought to have been. The problem started with the international order in which the war emerged. Chiang had hoped to assemble a concert of allies willing to help defend China against Japanese aggression. He was blocked not just by the reluctance of neutral states to aid China, but by the speed with which alliances shifted in the opening years of the Second World War. He had never welcomed the prospect of a general European conflict, correctly fearing that it would push China even further to the margins of world attention. Even so, he recognized that once the lines had hardened between the imperial democracies and fascism, new alignments might become possible. From his perspective, the growing amity between Berlin and Moscow was therefore disastrous. He had been eager to draw the USSR into war against Japan. Instead, the Soviets were now effectively aligned with the Nazis, who were themselves allied with Tokyo. The world created after Versailles had already enraged many Chinese. After all, the May Fourth demonstrations of 1919 had arisen directly from the settlement reached at the Paris Peace Conference. Yet that older order had at least possessed recognizable anchors, especially the dominance of the two great European empires and the United States. Now those empires were weakening, and no one could say with confidence what the new geopolitical order would be. For all Chiang knew, Germany might emerge as Europe's new dominant power. The early years of the European war produced a bewildering spectacle of diplomatic realignment. The Nationalist government had previously enjoyed a short-lived flirtation with Nazi Germany. In fact, Hitler's regime continued supplying Chiang with munitions in the first months of China's war against Japan. The Anti-Comintern Pact of 1936 had theoretically joined Germany, Italy, and Japan into the Axis, but mutual distrust prevented them from forming anything like a fully coherent alliance. Chiang found it useful to imply to Western powers that he might be pushed into closer alignment with Germany, a particularly disturbing possibility for the USSR, which faced enemies in both Europe and Asia. But eventually the contradictions in German policy toward East Asia became too severe. In April 1938, Germany yielded to Japanese pressure and ended its support for China. Britain offered little meaningful help. Neville Chamberlain became prime minister in May 1937 at the head of a Conservative-led National Government, and was quickly overwhelmed by the deteriorating European situation. If Czechoslovakia was for him a "far-off country of which we know nothing," China's fate was even more distant and obscure to many, perhaps most policymakers in London. The Nationalists had more success in cultivating the United States. At the Nine-Power Conference in Brussels in November 1937, the Chinese delegation failed to persuade Washington to impose sanctions on Japan and confront it directly. By the middle of 1938, however, American views were beginning to shift. As Japan pushed deeper into southern China, it became increasingly obvious that the occupied territory would be closed to foreign trade. In December 1938, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau arranged a private American loan of $25 million to China, to be repaid through shipments of tung oil, a varnish product whose real importance lay not in itself, but in what the arrangement signified: a quiet American expression of faith that Chongqing would survive. Chiang also held on to the hope of an even less likely partnership. He had become fiercely anti-Communist during the 1920s, yet in the early years of the anti-Japanese war his greatest hope still rested on Soviet entry into the conflict. Soviet advisers and pilots had aided China from 1937 to 1939, but the USSR never formally declared war on Japan. Still, as Japanese aggression in northern Asia intensified, it remained possible that the Soviets would eventually be drawn in. Then, as so often happened whenever Chiang tried to impose some control over the course of the war, events beyond China's borders altered the struggle in fundamental ways. While Western attention remained fixed on Europe's darkening horizon, a battle with major consequences for East Asia unfolded on the frontiers of Outer Mongolia, Manchukuo, and the eastern Soviet Union. Throughout much of 1938 and early 1939, one faction within the Japanese Imperial Army sought to pressure the Soviets along their eastern frontier. The USSR appeared vulnerable; Stalin's paranoid purges had executed or exiled many of the Red Army's best officers. In May 1939, fighting broke out near Nomonhan between forces from Soviet-backed Mongolia and Japanese troops from Manchukuo. Within days, both sides had reinforced heavily, until nearly 60,000 Soviet troops faced about 40,000 soldiers from the Kwantung Army. Over the next four months, until mid-September, they fought a major battle ending in a decisive Japanese defeat and establishing the reputation of General Georgi Zhukov, who would later become one of Stalin's most celebrated wartime commanders. The much-derided Soviet Army had fought with formidable effectiveness, and the result was not only a ceasefire but also a nonaggression pact between the two sides, extinguishing, in one stroke, Chiang's hopes for a Chinese-Soviet military alliance. The final blow came after developments in northern Europe. In the Winter War of 1939–1940, the Soviet invasion of Finland led Britain and France to back a motion expelling the USSR from the League of Nations. China, then a member of the League Council, declined to use its veto to block the resolution. Stalin was enraged by Chiang's failure to prevent Soviet expulsion, and mutual suspicion thereafter poisoned relations between the two leaders for the rest of the war against Japan. China would now have to continue without further major Soviet backing. By the spring of 1940, China's position had become deeply precarious. In March, senior Japanese negotiators sought an agreement with Chiang in Chongqing, while Wang Jingwei was trying to formalize his rival Nationalist government in Nanjing. This effort, known in Chinese as the Tong Operation, and in Japanese as Operation Kiri, led to talks in Hong Kong from March 7 to 10, 1940. Militarily, the Nationalists were in grave danger: the United States remained neutral, and Europe was in chaos. Indeed, that same spring, with France seemingly near collapse, the British government also sent out discreet feelers to explore the possibility of a negotiated peace with Germany. For China, Western assistance was nowhere in sight. The Japanese judged the moment favorable for pressing Chiang toward concessions. Faced with serious danger to his regime, Chiang allowed the door to negotiation to open just slightly. As a consequence, the Japanese delayed full recognition of Wang Jingwei's new government. Through the summer and autumn of 1940, Tokyo remained uncertain about the defector. Prominent Japanese figures such as Count Arima Yoriyasu of the Privy Council said Wang's conduct demonstrated his untrustworthiness, and Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yōsuke continued to express interest in an agreement with Chongqing. Zhou Fohai captured the defectors' frustration, men who believed they had made the highest patriotic sacrifice when he wrote: "Chongqing sees us as collaborators, we see ourselves as heroes. We think only peace can save the country — that's why we think of ourselves as heroes. If we end up classed as heroes, then China and Japan will be at peace. If we end up classed as collaborators, then China and Japan will never be at peace."That formulation conveyed something genuine about the moral dizziness of the period. Most of the defectors were not men devoid of principles; they were men whose principles had carried them to a place that history would find exceptionally hard to pardon. The "New Fourth Army Incident" brought to a close one of the most consequential years in modern Chinese political history. The battle of ideas unfolding in 1940 was already visible to informed contemporaries. Early in 1941, US Ambassador Nelson Johnson sent Washington a detailed assessment of the Chinese political situation in reply to another report passed along by Major Evans Carlson, an American officer who had made an extensive journey through the Chinese interior. The contrast between the two documents revealed a widening split in American views of China. Carlson, together with his travelling companion, the New Zealander Rewi Alley, had become increasingly sympathetic to the Communists after visiting their territories in 1938 and admiring their discipline. Carlson described the Nationalists as moving toward "fascism," and argued that American aid should be conditioned on Chiang's government being compelled to adopt more "democratic" institutions. Johnson strongly disagreed. It was "only normal and natural," he wrote, that the Nationalists wanted to retain power, but during the war they had established the National Political Consultative Council, in which multiple parties, including the Communists, were represented. He also noted that the CCP could publish its own newspaper in Chongqing in a way that would have been impossible before the war. One might have expected the Nationalists to use the war as a justification "to extinguish . . . all political opposition," yet instead they had chosen to "muddle along." Johnson further thought that the influence of competing cliques inside the Nationalist Party had been overstated. Chiang Kai-shek, by contrast, had "grown in stature, as he has come to be recognized as the symbol of united resistance to Japanese encroachment"; ultimately, "it is he who makes the final decisions." Johnson did agree with Carlson that Chiang's regime was hesitant to encourage a broad-based popular movement animated by anything beyond anti-Japanese feeling, though he also pointed to Nationalist cooperative programs and county-level reforms. But he rejected the idea that American support should depend on sweeping political transformation. Chiang was committed to continuing the war against Japan, and Washington should back him in that effort. In a notably farsighted passage, Johnson wrote: "It is my view that since the fall of the Manchu dynasty and the collapse of the traditional Chinese concept of government the Chinese people have been feeling their way along toward a new evolving form of government. A definitive form of government has not yet been established and may not be established for decades; it may or may not be in the form of a democracy, but it will be a type of government that will be adapted to the needs of China and its people." The tension between these two American interpretations, Carlson's idealized belief in the Communists and Johnson's pragmatic support for Chiang was more than a minor bureaucratic dispute. It foreshadowed a debate that would dominate American foreign policy for the next decade, and would still echo when the People's Republic was proclaimed in 1949. The disastrous experience of 1940 seemed to cast doubt on whether any future for China existed outside the Japanese Empire. As 1941 wore on, another dreadful event shook the exhausted wartime capital. On June 5, Chongqing endured roughly five hours of bombing, driving the population into air-raid shelters. In one tunnel in the Shibati district, the conditions were even worse than usual. The large shelter was supposed to have lights and electric fans, but the generators had never been connected. Inside, the air was dark, hot, and suffocating. Around ten that evening, people began emerging from the tunnel when rumors spread that the Japanese were returning with poison-gas bombs. Air-raid wardens forced people back inside, even as others were still trying to come out. Bodies toppled over one another, and panic spread as people realized they could not breathe. Over the next few hours, hundreds died underground in the darkness. The exact number was never definitively established: the official figure was 461, though a contemporary police report placed it far higher, at 1,527. What rescuers remembered most vividly were the tortured expressions of the dead, people tangled together in each other's arms as they lost consciousness, clothing ripped to shreds by desperate hands clawing at one another, and bodies so drenched in sweat that they looked as though they had been soaked in water. One survivor, Tang Zhengchang, remembered a hand reaching out from a pile of corpses and pleading, "Sir, please help me . . ." The grip on Tang's shorts was so tight that it pulled them off; he escaped the tunnel naked from the waist down. Official descriptions of the disaster were softened. Even so, the tragedy deepened the city's gloom and in a place already saturated with grief, an added layer of darkness mattered a great deal. Yet events elsewhere would soon offer the National Government a narrow margin of hope. Late in 1940, Franklin D. Roosevelt won re-election as president of the United States. "I am not going to send your boys into any foreign wars," he had proclaimed during the campaign against Wendell Willkie. But Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull both understood that Nazi domination of Europe posed a grave challenge to American influence there. And with China's "Open Door" to trade effectively shut by Japanese occupation, it was becoming increasingly clear that strict neutrality might not remain viable. In a 1941 report on China's domestic and foreign situation, Ambassador Johnson noted that during Germany's sweeping victories across Europe in mid-1940, the Chinese had become anxious about whether the Allies would remain committed to their cause. Britain's refusal to surrender, however, together with continuing Soviet goodwill, lifted public morale in China. People now looked toward the United States and Britain for support and felt that "victory" was "virtually theirs." Then, on June 22, 1941, the world awoke to news that roughly three million German soldiers were advancing into the Soviet Union. Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's invasion of the USSR, dramatically overturned the nonaggression that had governed relations between the two major European dictatorships for the previous two years. It transformed the war in Europe entirely. Less obviously, it also transformed the war in Asia. Thanks to intelligence leaks, Chiang Kai-shek had already realized that war between Germany and the USSR was likely. After the neutrality treaty between the USSR and Japan was signed on April 13, 1941, Chiang predicted that the United States would be drawn into the Asian war, and even that Japan might eventually reverse course and strike the Soviet Union. If that happened, China would become the critical Asian ally of both Washington and Moscow. Stalin had been caught off guard by the German assault — largely because he ignored increasingly urgent warnings from senior colleagues receiving intelligence from well-placed spies in Germany and the Comintern, eager to preserve its alliances, now pressed the Chinese Communists to cooperate more closely with the Nationalists. On June 23, 1941, the CCP Central Committee responded with a declaration that it would "persevere in the Anti-Japanese United Front, persevere in Nationalist-Communist cooperation," and would align itself with the British, the Americans, and others resisting the "fascist rulers" of the Axis. In Chongqing and Yan'an, the German attack on the Soviet Union was interpreted as a hopeful sign that Japan's fortunes might be beginning to turn. In Nanjing, the reaction was different. On June 22, Zhou Fohai recorded in his diary that, although the outcome "cannot be predicted," members of the Nanjing regime "all believe Germany will win and will take Moscow within two months." Zhou speculated that Japan could not easily reconcile its neutrality treaty with the USSR and its membership in the Anti-Comintern Pact, which was supposed to unite the Axis against Soviet expansionism. Still, because Germany had struck first, Japan was under no formal obligation to help. Zhou also continued to view events through a lens he had never abandoned: that of Chinese nationalism. "If Chongqing joins the Allies and they win," he wrote, "then this is good for China." If they lost, it would be disastrous for Chiang Kai-shek; but because Wang Jingwei had established a government in Nanjing under Japanese sponsorship, China now had "a foot in both boats." It was a ruthless calculation, but not a wholly dishonorable one. Zhou was not merely advancing Japanese interests. He was hedging, wagering on multiple futures in the name of a China he believed would endure beyond whatever constellation of powers happened to dominate at the moment. Whether posterity would judge that conduct prudent or collaborative was a question he could neither settle nor live to see resolved to his satisfaction. The summer of 1941 marked a major geopolitical turning point in the war. Until then, the conflicts in China and Europe had remained separate, if desperate, struggles on the Eurasian continent. Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union now forced Japan to decide whether it too would enter war against the USSR. Debate in Tokyo was brief. Although some officials, including Foreign Minister Matsuoka, favored striking north before moving south, both the Kwantung Army and the Navy advised against helping Germany at least until Germany had succeeded in drawing substantial Soviet forces away from Siberia and into Europe. Konoye, once again prime minister, agreed. With the northern option set aside, Japanese leaders turned toward another great power instead: the United States. Japan's failure to gain further decisive momentum in China had fueled demands for broader regional expansion, especially into Southeast Asia, with its abundant oil, rubber, and other strategic resources. From 1940 onward, measures such as the pressure to close the Burma Road made it increasingly obvious that Tokyo had adopted a more aggressive posture in Asia. Unable to subdue China, Japanese policymakers chose instead to escalate the conflict still further. Japanese political life had become ever more dominated by the unresolved war in China. As early as 1938, military expenditures consumed about 70 percent of the national budget, and that same year a National Mobilization Bill granted the government "total war control" over the zaibatsu, Japan's major industrial conglomerates. By 1940, the New Order was making itself felt throughout everyday life, with campaigns against luxury and extravagant consumption taking on new prominence. In February 1940, a parliamentarian was expelled from the Diet simply for daring to criticize the "holy war" in China. In such an atmosphere, retreat from imperial ambitions became increasingly unthinkable. That figure, 70 percent of the national budget devoted to the military is worth dwelling on, because it reveals something essential about the trap in which Japanese strategists had placed themselves. The war in China had not been won, yet abandoning it would have meant admitting a failure so severe that it would have shaken the ideological and institutional foundations of military supremacy in Japanese politics. The only apparent ways out required pushing further in: more conquest, more extraction, more expansion. The logic was brutally clear, and profoundly destructive. The Roosevelt administration watched these developments with growing alarm. Though still formally neutral, the United States was already using Lend-Lease to provide major assistance to Britain and the Soviet Union in their struggles against Germany. It now expanded aid to China as well. On February 10, Roosevelt's representative Lauchlin Currie visited Chongqing to inform Chiang Kai-shek that the United States would soon provide $45 million in military equipment. General John Magruder, head of the small AMMISCA mission, the American Military Mission in China had been sent to Chongqing in September 1941, as part of quiet preparation for possible Chinese entry into an alliance against Japan. The China branch of the OSS, precursor to the CIA, was led by General William "Wild Bill" Donovan, whom Roosevelt had dispatched to China in early 1941. The Americans repeatedly tried to discourage Japan from moving south into Southeast Asia, but relations only grew more confrontational. Japan occupied the southern part of French Indochina, and in response the United States imposed an oil embargo in July 1941. The consequences were immense. Japan imported around 80 percent of its oil from the United States. Without that supply, its navy, the essential instrument for southern expansion had reserves for perhaps eighteen months. The real question facing Tokyo, then, was not whether it must act, but how soon. Unable any longer to resist mounting military pressure for war, Konoye resigned on October 16 and was replaced as premier by General Tōjō Hideki. Tokyo accelerated its preparations for conflict with the Western powers. Planned targets included Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaya, the Netherlands East Indies, and the Philippines. I should note, if you want to learn about all of this history in more detail, you can go check out the pacific war channel on youtube. I have a chronological series that is just now talking about events like the Japanese invasion of french indochina and the road to pearl harbor. Throughout the autumn of 1941, increasingly desperate negotiations took place between Japan and the United States. Washington insisted that Japan withdraw from China; Tokyo was equally firm that it would do no such thing. From the Japanese point of view, the demand to leave China was not a serious negotiating position but a demand for national humiliation a call to repudiate four years of war, vast casualties, and the ideological basis of Japanese militarism in a single diplomatic act. In the end, the gulf between the two positions could not be bridged. While civilian and military leaders in Tokyo argued over the pace at which they should move toward war, few among Japan's rulers doubted that war was coming. At the imperial conference of November 5, it was formally agreed that if no satisfactory diplomatic solution had been reached by December 1, war would follow soon after. Talks in Washington between Ambassador Nomura Kichisaburō, diplomat Kurusu Saburō, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull led nowhere. On November 26, Hull delivered a note repeating the American position that Japan must withdraw from both China and Indochina. On December 1, the imperial conference resolved to go to war; the following day, the date of attack was fixed as December 8, December 7 by American time. In one sense, this was the culmination toward which the entire previous decade had been moving. The war in China had started as a localized conflict, then expanded into a continental one, and was now about to become something larger still: a truly global war, stretching from the North Atlantic to the western Pacific. China's long, lonely resistance would suddenly gain new dimensions and new allies, though not the ones Chiang had spent four years trying to cultivate, and not under circumstances he would have chosen. In the early morning of December 7, 1941, the US Pacific Fleet lay anchored at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, its sailors and officers still largely asleep as dawn crept across the Pacific. The attack did not come without warning signs, American and Japanese diplomats had been locked in increasingly desperate negotiations throughout the autumn, each side hardening its position until no room remained to maneuver. Washington had demanded that Japan withdraw from China, a condition Tokyo viewed not as a serious opening offer but as a demand for national humiliation: a call to repudiate four years of brutal war, hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the entire ideological foundation upon which Japanese militarism rested. No agreement was possible on those terms, and both sides privately knew it. The strike force assembled in secret was formidable. Six aircraft carriers, the Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū, Hiryū, Shōkaku, and Zuikaku had sailed under strict radio silence across the North Pacific, launching their aircraft in two successive waves before the American base had any meaningful chance to respond. The first wave of approximately 183 planes swept in just before 8 a.m., targeting the rows of battleships moored along Battleship Row and the military airfields at Wheeler, Hickam, and Ford Island simultaneously, ensuring that American aircraft could not scramble in time to mount an effective defense. A second wave of roughly 170 planes followed less than an hour later, pressing the attack on damaged ships and harbor installations. The destruction was staggering. The battleship Arizona suffered a catastrophic magazine explosion after a armor-piercing bomb penetrated her forward decks, killing nearly 1,177 of her crew in minutes, almost half of the total American dead from the entire attack. The Oklahoma capsized after being struck by multiple torpedoes. The West Virginia and California sank at their moorings. In total, seventeen vessels were damaged or destroyed, and the vast majority of military aircraft at the nearby airfields were caught on the ground and obliterated before they could take flight. Around 2,400 Americans were killed and another 1,100 wounded, making it the deadliest single attack on American soil or territory in the nation's history to that point. Yet the attack was not a complete strategic success for Japan. The US Pacific Fleet's aircraft carriers, the vessels that would ultimately decide the naval war in the Pacific happened to be at sea that morning and escaped unharmed. The harbor's fuel storage and repair facilities were also left largely intact, allowing the fleet to reconstitute faster than Japanese planners had anticipated. What Japan achieved in tactical devastation, it partly squandered in strategic miscalculation. The attack ended American neutrality instantly and irrevocably. The following day, President Roosevelt addressed Congress, calling December 7 "a date which will live in infamy," and within hours the United States declared war on Japan. For China, after more than four years of fighting alone, the blow that devastated Pearl Harbor paradoxically carried a thread of desperate hope at last, the great power Chiang Kai-shek had spent years trying to draw into the conflict had arrived, not under circumstances he would have chosen, but arrived nonetheless.

After years of fighting, China's situation darkened in 1941 with intense bombing of Chongqing and fears of poison-gas attacks. Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in June shifted alliances and pressured Japan toward wider war. Japan escalated plans for Southeast Asia, suffered an oil embargo, and negotiations with the United States broke down over withdrawing from China and Indochina. Then the Pearl Harbor attack began the Pacific War.

In this deeply personal episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with my cousin, Josh, to share a story that many people silently relate to, but few openly talk about. From the outside, Josh appeared to be living the dream, playing the sport he loved. Behind closed doors, however, he was battling feelings of being trapped, unhappy, and disconnected from himself. After making the difficult decision to walk away from football, Josh faced one of the hardest chapters of his life. Losing his sense of identity led to binge eating, declining mental health, and questioning his purpose. But this wasn't the end of his story. Josh opens up about how committing to an Ironman 70.3 became more than just a physical challenge, it became a catalyst for rebuilding his confidence, mindset, and direction in life. Together, we explore the importance of vulnerability, changing negative self-talk, building healthier habits, finding gratitude, and asking for help when life feels overwhelming. This conversation is a reminder that your darkest chapter doesn't have to become your final chapter. In this episode: Josh's hidden mental health battle Walking away from football Losing identity and purpose Binge eating and emotional struggles Building resilience through Ironman training Reframing negative self-talk Gratitude and mindset The importance of asking for help Supporting men's mental health Finding purpose after adversity If this conversation resonates with you, share it with someone who might need to hear it.

Welcome to the final episode of this season of Rust in Production. My guest is Orhun Parmaksız from JetBrains, and we talk about building developer tools with Rust.JetBrains is best known for IntelliJ IDEA, Kotlin, and a long line of IDEs for professional software teams. In the Rust world, that now includes RustRover: a commercial IDE built on the IntelliJ platform, with deep Rust support for navigation, refactoring, debugging, testing, and large codebases.This episode is about where Rust fits into that world. We talk about why JetBrains does not plan to rewrite the IntelliJ platform in Rust, why Fleet used Rust for its File System Daemon, how Air builds on parts of Fleet's architecture, and why JetBrains prefers out-of-process Rust helpers over JNI inside the JVM. We also get into RustRover's internals: PSI, THIR, MIR-based expression evaluation in the debugger, procedural macro sandboxing, library stubs, parser regression testing, cargo-nextest support, and the practical trade-offs between JetBrains' indexing model and rust-analyzer's Salsa-based approach.
Dr. Juliette Engel is a living witness and victim of some of the most vile hidden Intelligence programs ever devised. She has survived and even thrived since her brutal childhood, going on to offer brave eyewitness testimony to the depravity that can result when persons in power decide that they can violate any morals and acceptable behavior in the pursuit of control. The justification, as warped as it can be, is to say that we must sacrifice some people/children in order to preserve the greater good. From being delivered by her parents into the arms of CIA handlers at the age of six, to meeting Jeffrey Epstein on the San Juan Islands in the 1980s, when he was talking of buying islands in the Caribbean, Dr. Engel has encountered evil and survived. On this week's “Breggin Hour,” Peter and I had the privilege of sitting with Dr. Juliette Engel. At 77, she carries herself with a quiet radiance that Peter described as angelic. After hearing her story, I understood why. What was done to her as a child would have broken most people. What she has done with her life since then is a testament to the best of the human spirit. Juliette was born into a family of OSS, CIA, and NSA operatives. At the age of six, in 1955, her own father sold her into the MKUltra Monarch program. There she endured mind control, satanic ritual abuse, and the deliberate fracturing of a child's mind through repeated trauma. The program's goal was to create a dissociated, highly controllable person—someone who could later be used as a prostitute or intelligence asset. She was trained in what she calls “sex magick,” prepared for a future of exploitation. She escaped at seventeen. With no memory of her childhood, she put herself through university and medical school and became a physician in Seattle. For decades the past remained locked away. Only later, in her sixties, after twenty years of extraordinary humanitarian work in Russia, did she begin the long, painful process of opening those sealed rooms in her mind. What she discovered there is almost unbearable. Yet she has chosen to tell it—first in her memoir *Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick as I Lived It*, written from the magical thinking of the ten-year-old child she once was, and later in *Angels Over Moscow*, the story of her twenty years building an underground railroad for trafficking victims across the former Soviet Union. While working to improve medical care for children in Russian orphanages, Juliette uncovered a trafficking network that moved young girls to Scandinavia and the United States. She followed the trail. What she found changed the course of her life. With the MiraMed Institute and the Angel Coalition she founded, she helped create a network of villagers, police, educators, journalists, and officials who rescued more than 70,000 children and young women. She did this at great personal risk, often traveling alone through dangerous territory. She did it because she knew, in a way few of us can, what it means to be a child with no one coming to save you. In our conversation, she spoke of creating “Sparky”—an internal role model, a tough, courageous little girl warrior she invented at age ten because she had no trustworthy adults. Sparky was everything Juliette longed to be: strong, pretty, smart, able to stand up for herself and others. That imagined self became her compass. Decades later, when Jeffrey Epstein and his brother approached her at a private gathering on the San Juan Islands—offering her a house, naming the exact amount in her bank account, inviting her into their world—something deep inside said no. She credits Sparky. The protective programming that had once kept her silent also, in that moment, kept her safe. She spoke, too, of the suicide programs that are deliberately installed in survivors—the overwhelming voices that rise up when a person begins to remember or to speak. She has faced them more than once. She has learned to recognize the attack when it comes and to pull it through what she describes as the eye of a needle until it becomes manageable. She offers this knowledge freely to other survivors, because she does not want another person to be lost to a programmed death. Peter reminded us that whether intentionally programmed or programmed by traumas of childhood and tragedies of life, one must resist an urge toward suicide. He said: “First of all, somebody probably put that idea in your head on some level. And also it is something you can definitely leave behind. People can leave being suicidal behind, but you can't leave dead behind. So you've got to work to overcome the pain. And we're getting a wonderful lesson today in how a fine person can overcome that pain. Dr. Engel actually has done amazing work in setting up networks to save children in different parts of the world. What an amazing outcome for somebody who's been about as abused as a person can survive.” How to Help the Suicidally Depressed Person—Dr. Peter Breggin's 5th Simple Truths About Psychiatry' Once again we see a pattern that Peter and I have seen throughout our decades of work: the same systems that harm children also work hard to keep the truth from being believed. For years, people who reported MKUltra experiences were told they were delusional. People who tried to expose the dark operations of the CIA were called “conspiracy theorists.” But now that the CIA has finally released thousands of pages admitting the program's existence, survivors can no longer be so easily disparaged. The scale of what was done and, many believe, continues today, is coming into the light. Despite the horrors Juliette endured and witnessed, she persevered. A child who was meant to be broken became a doctor. A woman who had every reason to remain silent spent twenty years rescuing other people's children. A woman recovering her own stolen memories continues to stand with those still finding theirs. Dr. Juliette Engel found the courage and created the safety net for herself that made it possible to survive and build a life of compassion, science, healing, and reform. Her courage opens a window which we must look through. From facing the suffering of children through the hidden programs of the past or the open trafficking of the present, we must refuse to turn away. We need to build our empathy, not our defenses. And we need to remember that the human spirit, even after the most deliberate attempts to destroy it, can still choose love, courage, and service. We are grateful to Dr. Juliette Engel for trusting us with her story. Listen to the full interview on “The Breggin Hour.” Her books Sparky and Angels Over Moscow are available for those who wish to go deeper. You can learn more about her work at www.JulietteEngel.com. May her example strengthen every person who has ever felt broken by forces larger than themselves. Survival is possible. Healing is possible. And sometimes, out of the worst soil, the most luminous lives grow.
