Power Shift is an experiment in dialogue that puts decision-makers in aid and philanthropy and those affected by their decisions in honest, one-on-one conversations about the aid sector's inequalities. ___ In the second episode of Power Shift, we continue our candid conversation between Grand Bargain ambassador Michael Köhler, formerly a senior leader of the EU's humanitarian aid arm, and Nadine Saba, founder of a Lebanese grassroots NGO. As the global humanitarian system faces unprecedented challenges – from donor cuts to accusations of colonial structures – they explore whether the system can truly be reformed, and if reform is enough. Saba speaks passionately from the front lines, sharing how communities are losing faith in a system that often delivers only "Band-Aid" solutions while failing to address – and often instigating – root causes. Köhler acknowledges the system's shortcomings while defending its foundational merits. “Would anything be better without the Grand Bargain? I think no. Would it be worse without the Grand Bargain? I believe, yes,” Köhler says of the major humanitarian reform process, “because we wouldn't have this kind of platform that reminds us [of] the need to get better, to reform, to open up, to share power.” Saba, who represents Global South NGOs, expressed doubt that there was sufficient will for the Grand Bargain to live up to its potential. "When things get difficult, people go back to old habits,” she argued Saba. “I do see that change is incremental. But I fear that it's getting so much incremental that it's not happening.” Their conversation reveals a fundamental tension between Köhler's technical approach to humanitarian response, and Saba's close-range exposure to the politics of crises. As this experiment in dialogue came to a close, Israel's campaign of airstrikes in Lebanon loomed, lending greater urgency to Saba and Köhler's attempts to come to a common understanding of what it would take to shift power in humanitarian response. ___ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube, or search “The New Humanitarian” in your favourite podcast app. You can find transcripts of all podcasts on our website.

Für effektiven Klimaschutz müssen wir den Rohstoffverbrauch senken und zirkulär wirtschaften, indem wir Rohstoffe wiederverwenden. Das hat die Ampelregierung in den vergangenen Jahren erkannt und im Dezember 2024 die Nationale Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategie verabschiedet. Diese Strategie, kurz NKWS, soll dazu beitragen, dass die Qualität von Rohstoffen und Produkten möglichst lange erhalten bleibt, Materialien sparsam verwendet werden und sie lange im Kreislauf bleiben. Nach den Bundestagswahlen schauen wir von PowerShift auf die Ziele der NKWS und welche Maßnahmen die neue Bundesregierung umsetzen sollte, um diesen Zielen tatsächlich näher zu kommen.

Power Shift is an experiment in dialogue that puts decision-makers in aid and philanthropy and those affected by their decisions in honest, one-on-one conversations about the aid sector's inequalities. ___ Michael Köhler and Nadine Saba are just two of the many people tasked with advancing the goals of the Grand Bargain – one of the most ambitious attempts at delivering humanitarian aid more effectively and efficiently. As such, they often log into the same meetings by videoconference. And yet, Köhler, one of three ambassadors tasked with overseeing the process, and Saba, a Grand Bargain sherpa representing Global South NGOs, have never spoken one-on-one. Until now. Over the course of seven weeks in mid-2024, Köhler and Saba met over Zoom as part of the Power Shift experiment – one leading high-level meetings from Brussels, and the other contending with real-life humanitarian crises on the ground as both a local organisation leader, and citizen. Much has changed in the aid sector since these initial meetings, but the spirited, yet convivial, debates between Köhler and Saba have taken on a new urgency as the world reacts to the loss of major Western humanitarian funding. “Are we relinquishing power? Are we keeping it in the hands of the donors?” Saba challenged Köhler, “And if we're keeping it in the hands of the donor, how much are they attuned to what is happening on the fields? Not much.” Listen in to the no-holds-barred conversations between Köhler and Saba as they take on a range of topics, from the yawning gap between headquarters-level decisions and realities in the field, to the dilemma of donor countries' competing obligations to constituents and affected people, to the need to treat the Grand Bargain – and other attempts at change – with a lot more urgency. ___ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube, or search “The New Humanitarian” in your favourite podcast app. You can find transcripts of all podcasts on our website.

Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the launch of the CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) in the European Union as Christine Lagarde announces the launch will come by October at the latest. We have warned for over a decade of this incoming threat which has come more and more near with every month. Now, with this announcement, we can expect the United States and Canada to follow suit soon going into next year. While it has been said that The Federal Reserve will not be releasing a CBDC under Trump, it seems obvious that this kind of launch would actually be done by the Treasury. Trump has pushed forward proposals for heavily centralized "stable coins" as the dollar quickly lost its standing as the world reserve currency. The Digital Euro will bring in digital ID and social credits at a time with already existing emergency orders, a banking crisis, war and food shortages. This is being done exactly as planned. The United Nations Pact For The Future which was signed onto by 193 countries includes restricting your bank account if you say negative things about the government as well as bringing in carbon credit scores. This agenda has already been heavily adopted in the shift into net zero. It isn't a coincidence that this coincides with a CBDC launch. There ARE ways to avoid this inevitable shift into CBDCs but it comes down to all of you watching or reading to take those steps mentioned in the video. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

The claim as to why they're doing this as per usual is "to make things convenient." Of course we know tyranny comes under the guise of convenience. It's a Trojan Horse. McDonald's has long been one of the main major corporations to shift into autonomy. Now, they're turning away massive amounts of employment to bring in AI. Elon Musk, one of the main technocrats pushing AI says himself that it will destroy humanity, yet he continues to develop it. He even claims that jobs lost will not be a major problem because people can just go on Universal Basic Income, another agenda of the World Economic Forum. As many as 41% of employers plan to use AI to replace rolls according to polling. 48% in the United States! From the Stargate Project which Trump has pushed forward with $500 billion alongside Sam Altman and Larry Ellison to the global shift towards technocracy in general with Digital IDs and CBDCs, it's time to start preparing yourself.

Schon im Wahlkampf ignorierten die Spitzenkandidat*innen klimapolitische Themen so gut es ging. Jetzt wurde der Bundestag gewählt und auch wenn die Regierung noch nicht steht, kann man davon ausgehen, dass Friedrich Merz sie anführen wird. Damit würde ein Mann regieren, der das Thema Klimaschutz für überbewertet und einen Ausstieg aus Kohle- und Gasenergie für unrealistisch hält. Im Kompass Weltwirtschaft redet Nora Noll mit drei Referent*innen von PowerShift: Mit Alessa Hartmann vom Team Handels- und Investitionspolitik geht es um schwelende Handelskonflikte und wie sich die neue Bundesregierung in der globalen Wirtschaft positionieren sollte. Constantin Bittner vom Rohstoff-Team und Koordinator des AK Rohstoffe geht auf die Pläne der CDU zum heimischen Bergbau ein und Neelke Wagner, Referentin für Klima- und Ressourcengerechtigkeit , erklärt schließlich, warum sich auch eine CDU-geführte Koalition um eine Rohstoff- und Energiewende bemühen sollte - und wie das aussehen könnte.

From the wild Oval Office showdown with Zelensky to Trump's strategic maneuvering on the global chessboard, this episode dives deep into the unfolding power shift.

As Germany's Christian Democrat alliance (CDU/CSU) is in talks about forming a new government with the Social Democrats, this week's episode discusses the country's role in the new global order. It comes against a backdrop where US president Donald Trump is abandoning old friends in Europe and proposing a trade war instead of aiding old allies. Not only could this have implications for US-sourced LNG but the new government in Berlin must make key decisions on the future of fossil fuels, the renewables transition and on whether to embrace hydrogen. The coalition will also have to deal with pressure from domestic industry and consumers demanding cheaper and more reliable power provision, as well as a backlash against wind turbines in the east of the country.Host: Richard Sverrisson - Editor-in-Chief, Montel News.Guest: Claudia Kemfert, Professor of Energy, Economics and Energy Policy at Leuphana University.

Blackrock and Vanguard “pause” corporate meetings, SEC's boardroom power shift in the sarcastic Good Game
Tom welcomes back David Murrin for a comprehensive analysis of global geopolitical dynamics, economic trends, and historical cycles. He begins by discussing the terminal decline of American power, comparing it to Britain's post-empire struggles in the 1970s. Murrin argues that President Trump's policies, while intended to revitalize the nation, face significant headwinds due to high inflation, debt dynamics, and geopolitical challenges. He warns against the erosion of democratic institutions under Trump's administration, highlighting concerns about executive overreach and constitutional challenges. Murrin contrasts the U.S.'s declining influence with China's rise, noting that while both nations confront internal issues—such as demographic challenges for China and systemic decay for the U.S. China's military advancements and strategic initiatives position it to challenge American hegemony. He expresses concern about potential conflicts in the Middle East, particularly involving Iran, which could escalate tensions and disrupt global oil markets. In discussing monetary systems, Murrin emphasizes the role of gold as a safe haven during times of instability, predicting significant price increases for precious metals. He critiques cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, arguing that they have reached speculative peaks and are likely to decline due to the shifting economic landscape. Murrin also addresses the Middle East conflict, advocating for peaceful resolutions through carrots rather than sticks. He suggests that offering incentives for displaced populations could foster stability, contrasting this with punitive measures. He laments the failure of international efforts in Ukraine, urging a more strategic approach akin to historical lend-lease programs. Throughout the interview, Murrin underscores the inevitability of cyclical conflicts and the challenges of breaking these patterns. However, he holds out hope for external interventions or technological breakthroughs that could alter this trajectory. He encourages listeners to engage with his work critically, fostering dialogue and understanding in an era marked by uncertainty and rapid change.

There, he engaged with the numerous tribes of the Sepik River, exploring the mineral composition of the region. Before the age of adventure tourism, this region was highly dangerous, very uncertain and local indigenous groups were often hostile and cannibalistic.

People affected by crises, and the people who respond to them, have been calling for change and equity for years, but for every reform pledge in Geneva or New York, there's little movement in Yangon or Juba. Changing an entire sector is a tall order. But how can an entire system change? In reality, it has to begin with conversations between people. For months, The New Humanitarian and the Center for Transformational Change sent out invites to people across the power spectrum in the aid world: heads of international humanitarian agencies, environmental, and refugee right activists, you name it. The goal? To set up one-on-one dialogues between people with the power to make decisions and mobilise resources and people who are affected by such decisions. “People need to be listened to, and when they come in with their own stories, that is a form of power,” argues Lina Srivastava, Power Shift's moderator and founder of The Center for Transformational Change. In this first episode of Power Shift, host Melissa Fundira, Adeso executive director Degan Ali, and Srivastava set the stage for conversations to come by highlighting how power inequalities prevent us from addressing humanitarian crises adequately and fairly, and by discussing whether dialogue can ever truly shift power. ___ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube, or search “The New Humanitarian” in your favourite podcast app. You can find transcripts of all podcasts on our website.

The term 'decolonising aid' is everywhere. And yet, many decisions about aid are made behind closed doors in the West, and those most affected by aid policies have little power in shaping them. But what if people who are rarely in the same room together sit down and talk? No talking points. No self-censorship. Just open, honest, and moderated one-on-one conversations. Introducing Power Shift: A new podcast from The New Humanitarian and the Center for Transformational Change that presents moderated conversations between decision-makers in aid and philanthropy and those affected by their decisions.

Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics
This episode of Mid-Atlantic examines the latest political and economic turmoil on both sides of the Atlantic. In the US, Trump's sweeping executive orders, including plans for an immigration detention center at Guantanamo Bay, signal a hard-line second-term agenda. His tariffs threaten global trade, while his federal appointments prioritize loyalty over competence. Across the UK, immigration dominates headlines as the population surpasses that of France, fueling debates over national identity, economic necessity, and post-Brexit trade strategy. Meanwhile, China's DeepSeek AI has sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley, raising questions about the West's technological dominance and the future of work in an AI-driven world.Logan Phillips, Denise Hamilton, Dave Smith, Tonye Altraide, and Michael Donahue break down the real motives behind Trump's policy blitz, the UK's struggles to reconcile border control with labor shortages, and whether AI will lead us toward utopia or economic collapse. With a mix of analysis, frustration, and a few well-placed snarky remarks, this episode tackles the intersection of power, populism, and technology.Notable Quotes:Logan Phillips: “Building an immigration detention centre at Guantanamo Bay? It's cruelty for the sake of spectacle.”Denise Hamilton: “You can't negotiate with someone willing to cut the throats of his own people just to stop minorities and women from succeeding.”Michael Donahue: “AI is going to rule our lives in 30 years anyway—enjoy it while it's still fun.”Dave Smith: “Britain keeps trying to reclaim a role it held by force, not by consensus. Maybe it's time to figure out what we actually want to be.”Tonye Altraide: “We've allowed people to redefine Britain as something it's not. This country is supposed to be about fairness, inclusion, and dignity.”Further Reading:Race to the White House – US Election ForecastsThe Guardian: UK Immigration and Economic PolicyBBC: AI and the Future of Work Hosted on Acast.

There is clearly a massive power shift happening before our eyes and if we don't prepare ourselves accordingly, we'll be left behind. From manufactured World War 3 in 2025 to similarly manufactured Civil War events meant to clash the populace against each other to enforce new technocratic emergency orders as is the agenda of the World Economic Forum's Great Reset, it's clear this coming year will be enormously important and unfortunately a turning point. Most countries are pushing forward CBDCs in 2025 as the dollar collapses and the BRICS+ alliance strengthens by design. As Bitcoin skyrockets, Trump and Elon Musk push for a North American Union, something that globalists have been conspiring towards for generations. New plandemics are being pushed forward with Bird Flu and Monkeypox as well as weather modification to appease the climate cult. Under the guise of free speech, Elon Musk is pushing Israeli censorship and mass migration continues while pretending to be virtuous under the H-1B visa program. Russia and NATO look to face off according to leaked German documents from last January. Are you prepared for the digital ID, social credit infrastructure being pushed forward under emergency orders this year? If not, it's time to start prepping. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

In this episode, we're diving into the transformative journey to shift your mindset and align with a higher frequency. For anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward, this is an invitation to embrace change and step into personal power. Life is constantly changing, and so can personal perspectives. Negative thoughts and doubts—about worth, health, or the state of the world—are not permanent truths. These thoughts are observations, not facts, and they don't define a person. Learning to observe thoughts without becoming them is the first step in reclaiming the narrative. Perception shapes reality. Constant focus on failure, lack, or negativity creates an experience aligned with those thoughts. By choosing to focus on success, gratitude, and abundance, the lens shifts, and reality begins to reflect those higher vibrations. The process may feel unnatural at first, but with persistence, this new mindset becomes second nature. Shifting perspective can turn challenges into opportunities. This is not about denying pain or hardship but about finding the lesson and growth in every experience. Some of the happiest individuals thrive not because their lives are free of difficulty but because they've mastered the art of perception. Conditional happiness—waiting for external events to align perfectly before joy is felt—leaves a person powerless. True positivity is about finding fulfillment in the present moment. Anchoring happiness internally creates an unshakable foundation of joy, love, and purpose. What separates those who succeed is their decision to use these feelings as catalysts for growth instead of roadblocks. Shifting the mindset transforms challenges into stepping stones. Embrace the ability to thrive, even amidst adversity. Each person is the creator of their experience, and their potential is limitless. Every thought and every breath is an opportunity to realign with the best version of oneself. The power to rewrite the story starts today. - Henry ---- Social Media Say hi on TikTok Say Hi on Instagram ---- Email Me henry@vibeabundant.com ---- Email List
Greetings from the Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport! Today Jason discusses modern airport design and challenges misconceptions about less prosperous countries. He also emphasizes the importance of abandoning preconceived notions about market trends, particularly in real estate and stocks. He also promotes his Empowered Investor Pro group and upcoming conference, highlighting the value for members. He then introduces an interview with Russell Gray, warning of Gray's doomer perspective. He encourages listeners to consult with his investment counselors for portfolio optimization and makeovers. He also promotes his AI chatbot, available on jasonhartman.com, which can answer questions about investment strategies and concepts. Then Jason welcomes Russell Gray. Russell, speaking on monetary policy, highlights the erosion of Main Street prosperity due to historical shifts in fiscal policy, inflation, and centralized power. He discusses pivotal events like the Federal Reserve's creation in 1913, the Gold Confiscation Act, and the Nixon Shock of 1971, which led to significant currency devaluation and economic inequality. Gray advocates for decentralized solutions, such as investing in tangible assets like real estate and gold, fostering Main Street capitalism, and educating the next generation. He warns against over-reliance on centralized systems and emphasizes personal responsibility, financial independence, and education reform to combat the growing power imbalance. #MonetaryPolicy #FiscalPolicy #Decentralization #MainStreetCapitalism #FinancialFreedom #InvestingTips #RealEstateInvesting #PreciousMetals #EconomicInequality #WealthPreservation #GoldInvestment #Inflation #EducationReform #NextGenerationLeadership #PowerShift #EconomicCycles #FinancialIndependence #PolicyImpact #DecentralizedFinance #FreedomAndResponsibility Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:27 Zagreb airport and lots of misconceptions 4:44 Trump, politics and personal finance 6:17 Be an Empowered Investor Pro Now! https://empoweredinvestor.com/ 7:13 A faulty idea 9:06 Introducing Russell 9:35 Call our investment counsellors for a FREE consultation or a portfolio makeover 10:23 Talk to Jason's Ai assistant JasonHartman.com/Ai Russell Gray interview 11:34 The political elephant in the room 13:09 Hallowing out the middle class 20:05 What's coming next- inflation or deflation and decentralization 24:51 Action steps 30:05 Follow@RussellGray.com Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Gold Crushes Ants, Ill-Fitting Robes and Disruption's Power Redistribution Aidan McCullen: [00:00:00] Gold Crushes Ants, Ill-Fitting Robes and The Power Redistribution of Disruption. Just a brief reminder of what this episode is in case you have not heard it before.. Each week I write a newsletter called The Thursday Thought. For years, listeners to the Innovation Show have asked me to narrate it. I never had enough time. So today, I am using AI. I have cloned my voice. It is not perfect, but it saves me hours of effort. For those who want the short version. Here is a paragraph: Disruption redistributes organisational power, information and status. As Machiavelli noted, those in power dislike such change. However, there is a twist to this week's Thursday Thought. Sometimes, the new-found power does not sit well with those who inherit it, to their detriment and to that of the organisation. Gold Crushes Ants! Let's begin with a quote by Plato from "The Republic." Plato wrote: "But when the cobbler or any other man [00:01:00] whom nature designed to be a trader, having his heart lifted up by wealth or strength or the number of his followers, or any like advantage, attempts to force his way into the class of warriors, or a warrior into that of legislators and guardians, for which he is unfitted, and either to take the implements or the duties of the other; or when one man is trader, legislator, and warrior all in one, then I think you will agree with me in saying that this interchange and this meddling of one with another is the ruin of the State." This passage from Plato's The Republic expresses the idea that societal roles should be distinct and specialised to ensure the stability and well-being of the state. Plato argues that each individual has a natural aptitude and should perform the role suited to their abilities. The cobbler (a metaphor for any tradesperson), the warrior, and the legislator/guardian represent different classes in society. Plato believes that problems arise when individuals try to take on roles for which they are [00:02:00] not naturally suited or when they attempt to accumulate power by combining multiple roles. For example, if a cobbler tries to become a warrior or a warrior tries to become a legislator, it disrupts the social order and leads to chaos and ruin. This concept is part of Plato's broader vision of a just society, where everyone contributes according to their strengths and society functions smoothly as a result. The Power Shift. Let's take for example, the significant shift in power that occurred in many organisations due to the advent of digital technology. The rise of roles such as heads of digital, data, AI and E.S.G. transformed traditional industries, from media companies to physical retailers. These new roles require a different set of skills, mindsets and perspectives, often leading to friction within long-held hierarchies. In many traditional organisations, digital leaders face resistance similar to what Plato described. Established professionals, [00:03:00] akin to the warriors and legislators in The Republic, often see these newcomers as threats to their traditional roles and authority. This resistance can be rooted in a fear of obsolescence or a reluctance to adapt to new methods and technologies. For instance, the introduction of digital journalism revealed how technology can challenge the conventional roles within a newsroom. It changes the "speed to market", it raises concerns about traditional journalists and the changing nature of editorial control. This works both ways, where new power dynamics can lead to tensions when digital leaders overstep their bounds or when their innovations disrupt the status quo too abruptly. All of a sudden, their importance leads to ego problems.
