Huhtikuussa 1975 Kambodžassa pysähtyi aika. Verisen sisällissodan päätteeksi valtaan nousi Pol Potin johtama punakhmer-liike, jolla oli hallussaan visio. Historia pyyhittäisiin puhtaaksi ja kaikki aloitettaisiin alusta - vuodesta nolla. Kaupungit tyhjennettiin, koulut ja sairaalat suljettiin, raha lakkautettiin. Niiden tilalle oli määrä rakentaa agraariutopinen talonpoikaisyhteiskunta.Se, mitä seurasi, oli yksi ihmiskunnan historian radikaaleimmista ja tuhoisimmista kokeiluista. Vain neljässä vuodessa koko valtio muutettiin suljetuksi vankileiriksi. Pakkotyö, nälkä, kidutus ja järjestelmälliset teloitukset tappoivat arviolta jopa kaksi miljoonaa ihmistä — lähes neljänneksen maan väestöstä.Instagram: subjektiivinentodistajaYouTube: Subjektiivinen TodistajaGmail: subjektiivinentodistaja@gmail.comLähteet:Ben Kiernan.

TechCentral's guests in this episode of the TechCentral Show believe Blue Label Telecoms and its affiliate (and soon to be subsidiary) Cell C present a compelling investment case. Philip Short, global portfolio manager at Flagship Asset Management – which counts Blue label as its sole South African investment – and Dylan Bradfield, portfolio manager at Sharenet, tell TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod that they believe the turnaround taking place at Cell C is real, and will have a meaningful impact on Blue Label shares. Blue shares, which have already rallied strongly – which have more than doubled in the past six months – could still have plenty of room to run, according to Short. In this episode of the TechCentral Show, Short and Bradfield unpack: • Blue Label's announcement earlier this month that it is considering a JSE listing for Cell C; • Why Cell C's restructured operating model and strategy makes sense, and why that's good news for Blue Label shareholders; • The role of Cell C CEO Jorge Mendes in the turnaround – and what the opportunity is for the mobile operator with its new “asset-light” model of running its network – management of its radio access network has effectively been outsourced to partners (and competitors) MTN and Vodacom; • Which operators would be most vulnerable to a resurgent Cell C; • The importance of Cell C's strategy around mobile virtual network operators and the significance of its relationship with Capitec; • The move by Blue Label to sell Comm Equipment Company to Cell C – good move or not? • Whether Cell C can compete with Telkom, Vodacom and MTN in the business market, something Mendes has signalled his desire to do; • What the listing of Cell C could look like, what management's focus should be before the listing and what kind of valuation the business could attract; and • How much more value could be unlocked for Blue Label shareholders.

After months of pain, it looks like light could be emerging at the end of the tunnel for American consumers: the price of gas has fallen beneath $4 per gallon for the first time since March, and there are signs inflation is easing. For Democrats, the news caps off a hat trick of legislative achievements: President Biden has signed the PACT Act and the CHIPS Act, all ahead of the long-awaited passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, expected to make its way through the House on Friday. To discuss, Patrick Gaspard of the Center for American Progress joins the show.

In deze echt allerlaatste aflevering van het vierde seizoen praat Jaap Jansen met PG Kroeger over boeken waarvan PG de laatste tijd heeft genoten. Betrouwbare Bronnen neemt je mee naar het kleinsteedse Independence in Missouri en naar een schatrijke familie in Boston. Maar ook naar Singapore, Londen in oorlogstijd, Weimar en de sloppenwijken van Sint Petersburg.Ten eerste twee boeken over presidenten van Amerika, in vervolg op editie 281 met Pirmin Olde Weghuis.Het gloednieuwe The Trials of Harry S. Truman van Jeffrey Frank vertelt over de eenvoudige boerenzoon en winkelier die in april 1945 geheel onverwacht de iconische president FDR moest opvolgen. Truman werd nadien een van de belangrijkste en meest omstreden wereldleiders, zeker ook in eigen land. Zijn achtergrond leert ons veel over hem en zijn tijd in het begin van de Koude Oorlog. Daarmee is dit weer uiterst actueel in 2022!Ook nieuw is het monumentale JFK, Kennedy's jonge jaren van Fedrik Logevall. Ook dit is een boek over een president in de Koude Oorlog. De schrijver duikt in dit eerste deel van zijn biografie in de Werdegang van Kennedy en hoe hij zich allengs emancipeerde van zijn dominante, puissant rijke en reactionaire vader.Ten tweede drie boeken over Nederland in tijden van grote crisis en verandering. Die passen dan ook erg goed bij het afgelopen seizoen en vast ook bij het komende!Op zoek naar stabiliteit van Friso Wielenga analyseert 'de Balkenende-jaren' en daar is de tijd langzamerhand ook wel rijp voor. Dat doet Wielenga boeiend en evenwichtig. Het boek verrast en bevalt door de aandacht voor nuances. Maar PG noemt het ook 'onaf' vanwege een toch wat rommelige opzet.Frans Stoelinga promoveerde op leven en werk van Albert Winsemius. Zijn boek is zowel voor de historie van de wederopbouw en het Marshallplan in ons land én de opkomst van Singapore als powerhouse in de wereldeconomie een voltreffer. Hoe een Nederlandse topambtenaar in Azië een sleutelfiguur wordt en aan het polderen slaat is een fascinerend verhaal.Dat is dat over Adriaan Dijxhoorn niet minder. Tobias van Gent schreef een adembenemend boek over deze militair die als minister in 1940 het waagstuk van zijn leven deed en ons land als Europese democratie daarmee eigenlijk redde. Dat het koninklijk huis hem daarvoor met hoon, achterdocht en Berufsverbot achtervolgde maakt dit boek af en toe onthutsend. Zelfs eerherstel door de parlementaire enquêtecommissie mocht niet baten. De minister en de majesteit is geen boek voor Orangisten!Ten derde moeten we deze zomer natuurlijk de diepte in met boeken over Europa van vroeger en nu. En dus over Duitsland en Rusland van toen en nu.Die Schwester van Kerstin Decker brengt het lange en opmerkelijke leven van Elisabeth Förster, de zus van de filosoof Friedrich Nietzsche. En wát een leven. Van de zelfmoord van haar man - een fanatieke antisemiet - in Paraguay tot groot succes als 'media-ondernemer' en van kandidatuur voor de Nobelprijs tot bewondering door Mussolini en gezellige bezoekjes van de Führer. Het is een tijdsbeeld van de Europese cultuur en politiek tussen 1870 en 1940 dat zijn gelijke bijna niet kent.De Britse historicus Philip Short komt letterlijk dezer weken met een vuistdikke biografie van Vladimir Poetin. Het boek kan ons veel leren, zijn analyses en verhalen zijn indrukwekkend en ijzingwekkend tegelijk. Hoe hij een collega president het liefst 'aan zijn ballen zou ophangen' bijvoorbeeld. Putin, his Life and Times is kortom een boek dat je niet mag laten liggen - helaas.En tot slot een stukje Sjostakovitsj!***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door donaties van luisteraars via Vriend van de Show.

Longtime foreign correspondent Philip Short talks about his new book "Putin" which is a close examination of the life and career of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. And, scandals, secrecy and the resignation of Hillsong's founder and global pastor Brian Houston in March have led to more than half of its American campuses breaking away from the church. Christianity Today's Mike Cosper joins us.
Vladimir Putin has the power to reduce the United States and Europe to ashes in a nuclear firestorm. He invades his neighbours, most recently Ukraine, meddles in western elections and orders assassinations inside and outside Russia. But who is the man behind the headlines?For years, Philip Short was a foreign correspondent for the BBC. He is now the author of many acclaimed biographies. Having spent eight years interviewing those who dealt with Putin as part of their official duties, Philip joins Dan on the podcast to explore the personality of Putin and the forces and experiences that have shaped his decisions since he took on the role of president in 2000.Produced by Hannah Ward.Mixed and Mastered by Peter Dennis.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!
