Key topics: Bible verse discussion on Easter (Matthew and John on Jesus' death and resurrection) and traditions like eggs, Santa, Halloween – pagan roots vs. family fun with the real message. Technocracy and global governance: Carbon taxes on shipping as control, propaganda (Club of Rome's climate narrative), and resistance strategies. School choice as a trap: Vouchers with strings, public-private partnerships, global citizens, Prussian model for compliance, and health impacts like EMF in schools, loss of books. Natural asset companies (NACs), monetizing public lands, tokenization, fractal ownership, and Game B as left-leaning technocracy pushing collective intelligence/singularity. Propaganda in media/alt media: Influencers as controlled opposition, dialectical warfare, and hope in resistance (not opting in, diversifying from all-in-one apps).

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Brad Costanzo, founder and CEO of Accelerated Intelligence, for a wide-ranging conversation that stretches from personal development and the idea that “my mess is my message” to the risks of AI psychosis, the importance of cognitive armor, and Brad's sovereign mind framework. They talk about education through the lens of the Trivium, the natural pull of elites and hierarchies, and how Bitcoin and stablecoins tie into the future of money, inflation, and technological deflation. Brad also shares his perspective on the synergy between AI and Bitcoin, the dangers of too-big-to-fail banks, and why decentralized banking may be the missing piece.

Instead of framing AI as something fake or external, he sees it as a leverage tool to amplify human intelligence—whether emotional, social, spiritual, or business-related. This reframing positions AI less as a threat to authenticity and more as a partner in unlocking dormant creativity.Personal development surfaces through the mantra “my mess is my message.” Brad emphasizes that the struggles, mistakes, and rock-bottom moments in life can become the foundation for helping others. AI plays into this by offering low-cost access to self-insight, giving people the equivalent of a reflective mirror that can help them see patterns in their own thinking without immediately needing therapy.The episode highlights the emerging problem of AI psychosis. People overly immersed in AI conversations, chatbots, or hype cycles can lose perspective. Brad and Stewart argue that cognitive armor—what Brad calls the “sovereign mind” framework of define, collaborate, and refine—is essential to avoid outsourcing one's thinking entirely to machines.Education is another theme, with Brad pointing to the classical Trivium—grammar, logic, and rhetoric—as the foundation of real learning. Instead of mass education modeled on the Prussian system for producing factory workers, he argues for rhetoric, debate, and critical thinking as the ultimate tests of knowledge, even in an AI-driven world.When the discussion turns to elites, Brad acknowledges that hierarchies are natural and unavoidable, citing experiments like Robbers Cave. The real danger lies not in elitism itself, but in concentrated control—particularly financial elites who maintain power through the monetary system.Bitcoin is framed as a “silent, nonviolent revolution.” Brad describes it as a Trojan horse—appearing as a speculative asset while quietly undermining government monopoly on money. Stablecoins, treasuries, and the Treasury vs Fed conflict further reveal how crypto is becoming a new driver of monetary demand.Finally, the synergy between AI and Bitcoin offers a hopeful counterbalance to deflation fears and demographic decline. AI boosts productivity while Bitcoin enforces financial discipline. Together, they could stabilize a future where fewer people are needed for the same output, costs of living decrease, and savings in hard money protect purchasing power—even against the inertia of too-big-to-fail banks.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Napoleon Bonaparte's temporary return to power in France in 1815, following his escape from exile on Elba . He arrived with fewer than a thousand men, yet three weeks later he had displaced Louis XVIII and taken charge of an army as large as any that the Allied Powers could muster individually. He saw that his best chance was to pick the Allies off one by one, starting with the Prussian and then the British/Allied armies in what is now Belgium. He appeared to be on the point of victory at Waterloo yet somehow it eluded him, and his plans were soon in tatters. His escape to America thwarted, he surrendered on 15th July and was exiled again but this time to Saint Helena. There he wrote his memoirs to help shape his legacy, while back in Europe there were still fears of his return.

What can the Roman legions of Constantine, the Ottoman forces of Mehmet the Conqueror, and the US Army of World War II teach us about modern military power?In this timely episode of the Explaining History Podcast, I speak with former senior British officer and acclaimed military historian Barney White-Spunner about his forthcoming book Nation In Arms (out 14 August). Drawing from five pivotal armies that helped shape the European continent—the Roman, Ottoman, New Model, Prussian, and American—White-Spunner explores what today's governments must relearn about the organisation, loyalty, and very soul of military power.We unpack why European governments have lost focus on defence since 1989, why the peace dividend is over, and what history urgently demands we remember in an era of renewed conflict. This is a deep and necessary conversation about the nature of armies, the responsibilities of the state, and the timeless lessons of military history.History of European Armies, Barney White-Spunner interview, Nation In Arms book, Military history podcast, Contemporary military threats, Lessons from Roman army, Cromwell's New Model Army, Ottoman Empire military, Prussian military reform, WWII US Army history, European defense policy, Future of armed forces, Explaining History podcast, Modern warfare and strategy, Decline of European militaries, History podcast, Military history, Geopolitics, European history, Modern warfare, Author interviews, Strategic studies, Defence and security, British military.Newsflash: You can find everything Explaining History on Substack, join free hereHelp the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

Today's guest is Major Donald Vandergriff (U.S. Army retired), a distinguished military thinker, educator, and reform advocate with over two decades of service across the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and National Guard. As Director of Adaptive Leadership Training at Nemertes, and the author of multiple influential works, he brings a blend of operational experience and intellectual rigour. In this episode, I speak with Don about his edited volume Mission Command: The Who, What, Where, When and Why. What I really enjoyed about Don's book, and why it was a great fit for Hypervelocity, was how his and the other essays in it delved into the philosophical underpinnings of mission command and current U.S military culture. We tackle the key questions: How did the Prussian's defeat at the hands of Napolean lead Helmuth von Moltke to develop the philosophy of Auftragstaktik - or Mission Command? Why is Mission Command a cultural philosophy and not a social technology? How does the influence of Descartes mean that U.S. Army culture is French? Should U.S. Army culture be less Jominian and more Clausewitzian? Can Weber's theorizing on bureaucracy be used to explain current U.S. Army culture?Does the vast amount of data collected by situational awareness technology weaken mission command by encouraging excessive micromanagement of troops?Chapters00:00 Introduction to Major Donald Vandergriff01:53 The Origins of Mission Command14:38 Moltke's Leadership and the Evolution of Mission Command23:24 Mission Command as a Cultural Philosophy29:20 Challenges in Implementing Mission Command30:19 Empowering Decision-Making in Military Training31:49 The Influence of French Military Philosophy39:49 Cultural Shifts: Clausewitz vs. Jomini43:00 Bureaucracy and Its Impact on Military Culture46:21 Technology's Double-Edged Sword in Command51:00 Lessons from Historical Commanders: Rommel's Approach55:38 Building Trust for Effective Leadership

Most of us grew up believing school was our golden ticket — a noble path to knowledge, success, and the elusive American Dream. Turns out, that dream was engineered to keep you obedient, predictable, and poor. In this episode, Chris, Saied, and Rajeel peel back the curtain on the greatest con ever run on the masses: the education system. With wit, fire, and a touch of irreverence, they trace the origins of modern schooling to the Prussian model — a system deliberately designed to churn out soldiers, compliant workers, and docile consumers for industrialists like Rockefeller and Carnegie. It's not a bug. It's the feature.➡️ We break down how the very structure of school — from its bells and rows to its obsession with grades — trains you to tolerate boredom, obey authority, and measure your worth by someone else's approval. If you've ever wondered why entrepreneurship feels foreign, risk feels scary, and freedom feels unattainable, this is your wake-up call. The machine that conditioned you doesn't even exist anymore, yet it's still teaching you to fit in and punishing you if you don't. Tune in as we expose the scam, laugh through the pain, and (most importantly) show you how to unlearn the lies — for yourself and your kids.

What if the Nazi Bell wasn't reverse-engineered alien technology — but the result of a covert, 19th-century human aerospace program? In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Walter Bosley — former counterintelligence specialist, author, and independent investigator — to explore the hidden history behind the so-called “mystery airships” of the 1850s and their connection to NYMZA, a secretive Prussian-backed organization. Bosley walks us through the lineage of propulsion technology that may have started with engineer William Rankine in 1849 and continued through a group of German immigrants in California — decades before the U.S. Civil War. Their alleged airship designs bear striking similarities to the mechanisms seen during the Great Airship Mystery of the 1890s... and even to schematics of the Nazi Bell. We dig deep into Dellschau's drawings, the classified airship projects that may have begun after the Civil War, and the theory that the Bell was inspired not by extraterrestrial tech, but by ancient Vedic science — supercharged by human innovation. Bosley also busts myths about the so-called “Haunebu” saucers, revealing them as postwar propaganda, not historical fact. This is a journey through suppressed history, alternative aerospace origins, and the hidden skies of America's past.

We start with a 1927 patent awarded to George Washington Carver, an agricultural chemist, for a locally-sourced Prussian blue. We learn a bit about Carver's life, education, and hobby of painting which may have led to the patent. We examine the patent in some detail, and then hear how it's been revived by a modern artist. Then we discuss other blue pigments throughout history, ending with the newest blue, an accidental discovery in a laboratory in 2009.Support the show Support my podcast at https://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofchemistry Tell me how your life relates to chemistry!

You can send me a text if you have a comment or questionAfter Austerlitz Napoleon keeps the Grand Armee together in Central Germany.This allows him to rip up the map of Germany and redraw it to suit himself.  But this attitude towards Germany leads to a number of steps including dangling Hanover in front of Charles Fox and the Johan Palm incident, which drive the Prussians to declare war, despite totally inadequate preparation.Meanwhile the Guerilla war in Calabria breaks out, but it is different from 1799, the British intervene briefly, leading to the battle of Maida, a small battle, but it shows the pattern of future French vs British land battles.Jena and Auerstadt lead to the total destruction of the Prussian army in the following 33 days.  Napoleon dominates Europe up to the Vistula.  All must serve him.

The foundations of modern liberal democracy weren't forged in the ideals of freedom and equality alone, but in the disciplined halls of Prussian military academies. In this wide-ranging conversation, Nicolas Villarreal reveals how the professional military education system that emerged in 19th century Germany created the bureaucratic apparatus that would spread across the world and enable liberal democratic capitalism to function.What emerges is a fascinating dialectic that shapes our current political crisis: the tension between the "universal class" of professionals (bureaucrats, educators, administrators) who manage society through expertise, and Bonapartist strongmen who consolidate power within smaller cliques. Neither offers genuine democratic participation or addresses fundamental contradictions.This historical analysis exposes blind spots in Marxist theory that continue to hamper left analysis today. Marx, focused primarily on England and France, missed crucial developments in Germany that would shape state formation globally. This oversight left Marxism without coherent theories of military power and bureaucracy—a gap that remains unfilled.Our current economic crisis differs from previous eras. Rather than a straightforward decline in profitability, we face Soviet-style problems where increasing investments yield diminishing returns across education, healthcare, infrastructure, and technology. Professional bureaucracy grows more expensive while delivering less value, creating conditions for reactionary backlash.The conversation ultimately points toward the need for developing an anti-professional politics that doesn't simply tail one bourgeois faction or another. As the educated professional class fractures along partisan lines, neither defending institutions that perpetuate oligarchy nor embracing reactionary populism offers a path forward. Can we envision social organization beyond the professional/Bonapartist dialectic before the increasing contradictions of capitalism lead to further crisis?Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Why do the fighters fight? What is the psychology that sustains the terribleand wonderful thing called a war?In nothing is this new history needed so much as in the psychology ofwar. Our history is stiff with official documents, public or private,which tell us nothing of the thing itself. At the worst we only have theofficial posters, which could not have been spontaneous preciselybecause they were official. At the best we have only the secretdiplomacy, which could not have been popular precisely because it wassecret. Upon one or other of these is based the historical judgmentabout the real reasons that sustained the struggle. Governments fightfor colonies or commercial rights; governments fight about harbours orhigh tariffs; governments fight for a gold mine or a pearl fishery. Itseems sufficient to answer that governments do not fight at all. Why dothe fighters fight? What is the psychology that sustains the terribleand wonderful thing called a war? Nobody who knows anything of soldiersbelieves the silly notion of the dons, that millions of men can be ruledby force. If they were all to slack, it would be impossible to punishall the slackers. And the least little touch of slacking would lose awhole campaign in half a day. What did men really feel about thepolicy? If it be said that they accepted the policy from the politician,what did they feel about the politician? If the vassals warred blindlyfor their prince, what did those blind men see in their prince?There is something we all know which can only be rendered, in anappropriate language, as _realpolitik_. As a matter of fact, it is analmost insanely unreal politik. It is always stubbornly and stupidlyrepeating that men fight for material ends, without reflecting for amoment that the material ends are hardly ever material to the men whofight. In any case, no man will die for practical politics, just as noman will die for pay. Nero could not hire a hundred Christians to beeaten by lions at a shilling an hour; for men will not be martyred formoney. But the vision called up by real politik, or realistic politics,is beyond example crazy and incredible. Does anybody in the worldbelieve that a soldier says, ‘My leg is nearly dropping off, but I shallgo on till it drops; for after all I shall enjoy all the advantages ofmy government obtaining a warm-water port in the Gulf of Finland.' Cananybody suppose that a clerk turned conscript says, ‘If I am gassed Ishall probably die in torments; but it is a comfort to reflect thatshould I ever decide to become a pearl-diver in the South Seas, thatcareer is now open to me and my countrymen.' Materialist history is themost madly incredible of all histories, or even of all romances.Whatever starts wars, the thing that sustains wars is something in thesoul; that is something akin to religion. It is what men feel about lifeand about death. A man near to death is dealing directly with anabsolute; it is nonsense to say he is concerned only with relative andremote complications that death in any case will end. If he is sustainedby certain loyalties, they must be loyalties as simple as death. Theyare generally two ideas, which are only two sides of one idea. The firstis the love of something said to be threatened, if it be only vaguelyknown as home; the second is dislike and defiance of some strange thingthat threatens it. The first is far more philosophical than it sounds,though we need not discuss it here. A man does not want his nationalhome destroyed or even changed, because he cannot even remember all thegood things that go with it; just as he does not want his house burntdown, because he can hardly count all the things he would miss.Therefore he fights for what sounds like a hazy abstraction, but isreally a house. But the negative side of it is quite as noble as well asquite as strong. Men fight hardest when they feel that the foe is atonce an old enemy and an eternal stranger, that his atmosphere is alienand antagonistic; as the French feel about the Prussian or the EasternChristians about the Turk. If we say it is a difference of religion,people will drift into dreary bickerings about sects and dogmas. We willpity them and say it is a difference about death and daylight; adifference that does really come like a dark shadow between our eyes andthe day. Men can think of this difference even at the point of death;for it is a difference about the meaning of life.Men are moved in these things by something far higher and holier thanpolicy: by hatred. When men hung on in the darkest days of the GreatWar, suffering either in their bodies or in their souls for those theyloved, they were long past caring about details of diplomatic objects asmotives for their refusal to surrender. Of myself and those I knew bestI can answer for the vision that made surrender impossible. It was thevision of the German Emperor's face as he rode into Paris. This is notthe sentiment which some of my idealistic friends describe as Love. I amquite content to call it hatred; the hatred of hell and all its works,and to agree that as they do not believe in hell they need not believein hatred. But in the face of this prevalent prejudice, this longintroduction has been unfortunately necessary, to ensure anunderstanding of what is meant by a religious war. There is a religiouswar when two worlds meet; that is, when two visions of the world meet;or in more modern language, when two moral atmospheres meet. What is theone man's breath is the other man's poison; and it is vain to talk ofgiving a pestilence a place in the sun. And this is what we mustunderstand, even at the expense of digression, if we would see whatreally happened in the Mediterranean; when right athwart the rising ofthe Republic on the Tiber, a thing overtopping and disdaining it, darkwith all the riddles of Asia and trailing all the tribes anddependencies of imperialism, came Carthage riding on the sea.The ancient religion of Italy was on the whole that mixture which wehave considered under the head of mythology; save that where the Greekshad a natural turn for the mythology, the Latins seem to have had a realturn for religion. Both multiplied gods, yet they sometimes seem to havemultiplied them for almost opposite reasons. It would seem sometimes asif the Greek polytheism branched and blossomed upwards like the boughsof a tree, while the Italian polytheism ramified downward like theroots. Perhaps it would be truer to say that the former branches liftedthemselves lightly, bearing flowers; while the latter hung down, beingheavy with fruit. I mean that the Latins seem to multiply gods to bringthem nearer to men, while the Greek gods rose and radiated outwards intothe morning sky. What strikes us in the Italian cults is their local andespecially their domestic character. We gain the impression ofdivinities swarming about the house like flies; of deities clusteringand clinging like bats about the pillars or building like birds underthe eaves. We have a vision of a god of roofs and a god of gateposts, ofa god of doors and even a god of drains. It has been suggested that allmythology was a sort of fairy-tale; but this was a particular sort offairy-tale which may truly be called a fireside tale, or a nursery-tale;because it was a tale of the interior of the home; like those which makechairs and tables talk like elves. The old household gods of the Italianpeasants seem to have been great, clumsy, wooden images, morefeatureless than the figure-head which Quilp battered with the poker.This religion of the home was very homely. Of course there were otherless human elements in the tangle of Italian mythology. There were Greekdeities superimposed on the Roman; there were here and there uglierthings underneath, experiments in the cruel kind of paganism, like theArician rite of the priest slaying the slayer. But these things werealways potential in paganism; they are certainly not the peculiarcharacter of Latin paganism. The peculiarity of that may be roughlycovered by saying that if mythology personified the forces of nature,this mythology personified nature as transformed by the forces of man.It was the god of the corn and not of the grass, of the cattle and notthe wild things of the forest; in short, the cult was literally aculture; as when we speak of it as agriculture.With this there was a paradox which is still for many the puzzle orriddle of the Latins. With religion running through every domesticdetail like a climbing plant, there went what seems to many the veryopposite spirit: the spirit of revolt. Imperialists and reactionariesoften invoke Rome as the very model of order and obedience; but Rome wasthe very reverse. The real history of ancient Rome is much more like thehistory of modern Paris. It might be called in modern language a citybuilt out of barricades. It is said that the gate of Janus was neverclosed because there was an eternal war without; it is almost as truethat there was an eternal revolution within. From the first Plebeianriots to the last Servile Wars, the state that imposed peace on theworld was never really at peace. The rulers were themselves rebels.There is a real relation between this religion in private and thisrevolution in public life. Stories none the less heroic for beinghackneyed remind us that the Republic was founded on a tyrannicide thatavenged an insult to a wife; that the Tribunes of the people werere-established after another which avenged an insult to a daughter. Thetruth is that only men to whom the family is sacred will ever have astandard or a status by which to criticise the state. They alone canappeal to something more holy than the gods of the city; the gods of thehearth. That is why men are mystified in seeing that the same nationsthat are thought rigid in domesticity are also thought restless inpolitics; for in

In a wide-ranging Easter edition of The Narrative, Burning Bright and Ashe in America fuse the metaphysical with the geopolitical, weaving together Lord of the Rings lore, narrative warfare, and the slow collapse of the Prussian-engineered global control system. Kicking off with Tolkien as a metaphor for the infowar, Ashe and Bright explore how myth, prophecy, and fiction offer deep parallels to real-world manipulation, and how narrative itself can serve as both weapon and shield. They dissect “chaos theory” not just as math, but as strategy, where Trump's flood-the-zone approach and narrative traps are forcing the deep state into a perpetual retreat. They dive into the psychological energy war behind modern lawfare, immigration propaganda, and the use of NGOs and global finance to manufacture crises and control outcomes. Whether it's Ms-13 deportation optics or David Becker's flailing election panics, every move in this 3-act structure is designed to deprogram the public and restore sovereignty. From the invisible enemy of COVID to the lingering specter of Prussia, they examine how the heirs of a decaying system are failing to maintain its illusion of power. Meanwhile, Trump, they argue, is deploying a carefully orchestrated chaos, not to destabilize, but to expose and dismantle the system's predictive power. With powerful insights into AI, narrative archetypes, consent-based governance, and what it really means to be on a watchlist, this episode is a masterclass in narrative engineering. Part Tolkien, part CIA breakdown, part spiritual reset...this one's got it all. And next week, they promise to take it even further with a deep dive into morality narratives.

Hamas has Israel where it wants it. The group's insistence that ending the war be part of any ceasefire deal and refusal to disarm strengthens its position. To be sure, Israel has severely weakened Hamas militarily. To be sure, Israel has severely weakened Hamas militarily. Moreover, Hamas barely scores double digits in Gaza opinion polls. Hamas may no longer be able to organize an attack on the scale of its October 7, 2023, assault on Israel in which some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed. Even so, Hamas still has a de facto presence in much of Gaza. Moreover, based on-19th century Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz's principle of “war as a continuation of politics by other means," Hamas is scoring points in what amounts to a war of attrition as Israel relentlessly batters the Strip.

Send us a textMuriel White was born into great wealth during the Gilded Age and both her parents was well known in society. Her mother's impressive beauty was written about by authors Edith Wharton and Henry James. Her father, Henry White, was one of the most respected diplomats of that era, with a career extending through WW1. Muriel married a Prussian count just before World War I and for a while had an idyllic life and became the mother of three children. The marriage ultimately failed and as Germany was overshadowed by the Nazis, Muriel was quite vocal on her opposition to them. She was allowed to stay in the family castle and sent her children away to America. While deprived of financial support and with her passport confiscated, she risked her own life in various acts of defiance, including helping to smuggle out a Jewish family. This interview with author Rick Hutto will highlight this woman's incredible life and you'll also learn about his journey as a author to write this biography. Richard Hutto website or https://rickhutto.comBook website or www.thecountess.netKathleen's author site or www.kathleenlangone.comSocial media:Instagram or @phihpodFacebook or search "Kathleen Langone Author"Threads or @phihpod

Marm Mandelbaum, the Queen of Fences, turned street rats into professional criminals.

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat, and Jethro unbox a double dose of historical weirdness and cultural curiosity. First, meet Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher—Prussian war hero, chaos gremlin, and the kind of guy who believed he was pregnant with an elephant. (Spoiler: He wasn't.) His wild behavior helped defeat Napoleon but also raised a few powdered eyebrows. Then, we head to the island of Pere in Papua New Guinea, where death isn't just a biological inconvenience—it's a suspicious social faux pas. In these ancient belief systems, people don't just die… someone causes it. Naturally. Because obviously. Ghosts, generals, and a little gastrointestinal confusion—what more could you want?

War returns! Surrounded by enemies on every frontier, the French Republic was desperate and divided. Luckily for the French, their foes were no less dysfunctional. This episode recaps the War of the First Coalition, from its origins and opening stages to the traitorous betrayal of General Dumouriez. It also examines the summer campaign of 1793, with the Prussians besieging Mainz and Anglo-Austrian forces focused on Condé and Valenciennes. Finally, it explores the contradictory aims of the great powers as each ally focuses on it's own geopolitical priorities in Poland, Belgium, and Bavaria. Early Access Don't wait!

Adalbert of Prague wanted very much to go Christianize the Prussians, but they were just not having it, so they hacked him up and cut his head off, and that is why he is a Saint, with an enormous number of churches around the globe dedicated to him. Anne spends time thinking about what was the snack that we are told Adalbert and his companions were eating before the murder, and Michelle considers the recently discovered account of Adalbert that is older than the one we had, although really what she's interested in is St. Bruno of Querfurt, the Second Apostle to the Prussians, who admired Adalbert so much that he went off to the Balkans just like his hero, and got slaughtered in Lithuania. Michelle's quite taken by the fact that nobody really outside of Poland pays any attention to Bruno. Alas.

“From this place and from this day forth commences a new era in the world's history, and you can all say you were present at its birth!” By September 1792, the Prussians, under the leadership of the formidable Duke of Brunswick, were closing in on revolutionary Paris. There, the streets roiled with the clanging of church bells, thousands of volunteers, patriotic songs and slogans, and of course; the dead bodies of all those killed during the September Massacres. It was against this feverish backdrop that on the 20th, the new National Convention - the most democratic of the assemblies yet, with unlimited powers to remake the nation - met at the famous Riding School. And though it was riven by internal rivalries under the contentious three headed triumvirate of Danton, Marat and Robespierre, remake the nation it did. Voting to abolish the monarchy once and for all, the Convention declared the institution of a new world and a new beginning for France, with all state documents from that day forth bearing the immortal words, ‘Year One'. But, with their Prussian enemies baying at the gates, would revolutionary France survive to see more than one year? A great military reckoning was approaching, which would decide the fate of the new Republic and perhaps, universal liberty. As the armies of France and Prussia met for what would prove to be one of the most ideologically significant battles of all time, political tensions were mounting in Paris… Join Dominic and Tom for this crucial, tremulous episode of the French Revolution. With Prussia closing in, bodies littering the streets, and the revolutionary leaders hungry for each other's blood, would the Revolution survive?

In the summer and Autumn of 1792 - with the Prussians bearing down on Paris, the streets thronged with the stirring swell of the Marseillaise, but also the rotting bodies of those brutally killed during the September Massacres - the French Revolution bore a new symbol of optimism and hope: Liberty. Embodied by a female figure, later known as Marianne, and famously enshrined in Eugène Delacroix's iconic painting, she was an important reminder that the revolution was about more than just violence, but also the dream of a brighter future, in which all the people of France would have a steak. Marianne was the new Republic personified, and manifested all those virtues most desired by the new order; freedom, equality and reason. But, did this new symbol have any resonance for the actual women of the revolution? Certainly, they had played a major role in bringing the King and Queen back to Paris from Versailles in 1789, helping patriots who stormed Tuileries in 1792, and were keen spectators to the febrile politics of the revolution. For this, women were enshrined as ‘mothers of the nation', a vital mass of humanity thought to be inspired by an animating emotional power. And yet, unlike their male counterparts, few women save Marie Antoinette, at whom sexualised misogyny was constantly hurled, have stood the test of time. So who were the women at the very heart of the French Revolution? And what did they do to change the course of history? Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the evolving ideology of the French Revolution - one of the most decisive moments of world history - and some of the women at the centre of it all from the very start.

‘Still more traitors, still more treason…" It is 1792 and France has been at war since April; it is not going well. In Paris, the Tuileries Palace has been stormed, and the royal family imprisoned. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between the main political factions of the Revolution, the Girondins and the Montagnard, led by the icy Maximilien Robespierre. The streets of Paris teem with armed young men - the Federes and the Sans-Culottes - responsible for the brutal slaughtering of the Swiss Guard earlier that year. They have arrested and imprisoned thousands of people. It is into this progressively febrile atmosphere of paranoia and fear that terrible news arrives: the Prussians, hungry for vengeance, have taken the fortress of Verdin. Rumours swirl of treason and betrayal from deep within Paris itself, and a new, chilling idea is raised to wash the city of counter revolutionaries once and for all: cleanse the prisons. So it is that on the 2nd of September, a group of Prisoners being escorted from one prison to another is stopped, and methodically hacked to death. The survivors face an impromptu tribunal before receiving the same treatment. Over the next few days, all prisoners across Paris are likewise judged, and many similarly damned and mutilated. A tide of bloodshed is rising, which will soon flood the streets of Paris, taking thousands of lives with it. Who will survive the massacre? Join Dominic and Tom for the next series of the French Revolution, as they pick up this epic story - one of the most resounding and complex historical events of all time - with arguably the most horrific episode of the whole revolution: the September massacres… EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/restishistory Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett + Aaliyah Akude Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the most consequential battles of recent centuries. On 20th September 1792 at Valmy, 120 miles to the east of Paris, the army of the French Revolution faced Prussians, Austrians and French royalists heading for Paris to free Louis XVI and restore his power and end the Revolution. The professional soldiers in the French army were joined by citizens singing the Marseillaise and their refusal to give ground prompted their opponents to retreat when they might have stayed and won. The French success was transformative. The next day, back in Paris, the National Convention abolished the monarchy and declared the new Republic. Goethe, who was at Valmy, was to write that from that day forth began a new era in the history of the world.With Michael Rowe Reader in European History at King's College LondonHeidi Mehrkens Lecturer in Modern European History at the University of AberdeenAndColin Jones Professor Emeritus of History at Queen Mary, University of LondonProducer: Simon TillotsonReading listT.

Sean and Andy (recovering from various ailments) are joined by political theorist, Bruno Leipold, to discuss his excellent new book Citizen Marx: Republicanism and the Formation of Karl Marx's Social and Political Thought from Princeton University Press on how Marx and Engels developed their theories within and against an 18th century republican pollical milieu that is largely lost to history and the histories of Marxism.What is republicanism? What distinguishes it from liberalism? How did real world experience with the reactionary Prussian state temper Marxism's preoccupation with civil rights? (How was that preoccupation submerged within Actually Existing Socialism of the 20th century?) How did Marx build upon and surpass republicanism by synthesizing it with communism and large defeating antipolitical strains of socialism?In the bonus we discuss what is left in the 21st century of republican social theory: the universalizing of capitalist private property as opposed to its abolition. How does this middle class 19th century political economy survive down to this day in republics like the United States? Broadly, what is the relevance of this republican revival for groups like the Independent Labor Club and others who seek a revival of communist politics on a broad basis?To access this bonus and years more of excellent content become a patron today at patreonsong: Nas - Black Republican

After taking a Christmas break, I am picking up on my summaries of the Ancient Art of Modern Warfare. In the previous episode, I described the nature of war as violence intended to compel an opponent to submit to your will. Although this idea is described by Carl von Clausewitz in his magnum opus, On War, the Prussian philosopher of war is best known for the aphorism that war is a continuation of politics by other means. It is a catchy phrase, but that translation leaves a lot to be desired and misses key points Clausewitz wanted to make. As I see it, the key take-aways from this idea are: War must be viewed as an instrument of national policy – one among many. War is not the policy; war is inserted to the ongoing political engagement to achieve the policy objective.  Therefore, it is important to know what that policy is – the objective the policy intends to achieve. That is, to understand what a nation intends to achieve by war, before embarking upon it. It follows then, that the use of force in war must be consistent with the aims of that policy. Not all wars have the policy objective of overthrowing the enemy. A suspension of active warfare does not necessarily mean abandoning the strategic policy objective. If you want to end a war, achieve or change the policy objective.   Reference: v. Clausewitz, C., On War, (Michael Howard and Peter Paret Ed.

WATCH LISTEN  Trump's Oval Office Return, Mike Johnson Endorsement, and CIA Shake-Up   On today's episode of MG Show, Jeffrey and Shannon dive into Trump's unannounced visit to the Oval Office, where he met with Biden, signaling his authority post-election. The MSM ramps up attacks on Mike Johnson after Trump endorses him to stay as Speaker, and the nomination of Pete Hegseth triggers a media frenzy. Trump also speaks at the GOP House Meeting before leaving the White House after a lengthy discussion. Plus, Chuck Schumer seems confused about past events, John Ratcliff's nomination to head the CIA serves as a major Q proof, and we get a deep dive into the intentional dumbing down of America through the Prussian education system. All this and more on today's show!   Keywords: Trump Oval Office visit, Mike Johnson endorsement, Pete Hegseth nomination, Trump GOP House Meeting, CIA John Ratcliff nomination, Q proof, Prussian education system, intentional dumbing down, MG Show, conservative podcast, America First -----------------

Our special guest today is Heather Olsson! Heather is wife to Dr. Phil Olsson, mother to seven, and Mimi to 14 grandchildren. She educated her children at home for 20 plus years. The Olsson family moved in 2020 from Green Bay, WI to Moscow, Idaho, where Heather has taught and been a Dean at The Jubilee School. She just began her second year as Head of School at Jubilee and also trains teachers through Concordis Education Partners. In today's episode, Heather teaches Mystie and Brandy about Prussian education and how many of our so-called classical forms are coming from the Prussians rather than the tradition we claim.

What's the difference between education and indoctrination? Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended? The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility. We're left with a blindly obedient population that's smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo.   The masses are conditioned to become habitually compliant conformists forever reliant on external authority. As Seth Godin writes, “To efficiently run a school, amplify fear (and destroy passion).” These days, educators have limited intellectual freedom to teach what they want to teach.  In past decades, we had far less access to information or schooling, yet were far more educated. Now in the age of AI, we have access to unlimited information, but we don't know if any of it is real or true.  So what is the future of education? Our guest today is Matt Beaudreau, a former public school educator and administrator who has dedicated his career to rethinking the very foundations of our education system. Matt shares: “When I saw this system for what it was, I could no longer be a part of perpetuating it.” As founder of the Apogee Strong mentorship program, Matt has an unwavering commitment to empowering young people to become sovereign, self-directed learners - a radical departure from the compliance-driven model that dominates our schools. True education should foster creativity and critical thinking, allowing individuals to pursue their unique passions. Matt's belief, which I share, is that genius is common, and true learning is about unlocking the innate genius in every one of us. In this episode, you'll discover: How to unshackle your mind from the limits of traditional schooling and cultural conditioning  Why modern education systems are anti-entrepreneurial and train students to be employees rather than innovators How to utilize passion as a vehicle to learn how to learn How to cultivate courage, foster civil discourse and intellectual flexibility to counter the polarization and echo chambers in today's society The status games played by elite institutions And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/matt-beaudreau-how-to-nurture-genius-and-courage-in-a-habitually-compliant-population/  Go to https://apogeestrong.com/ to enroll, watch the Documentary, and get more from Matt Beaudreau and the Apogee Strong team Join the Abel James' Substack channel: https://abeljames.substack.com/  Listen and support the show on Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/6ZBhFATsjzIJ3QVofgOH   Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/fatburningman   Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman   Follow on X: https://x.com/abeljames   Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus  Brought to you by: LMNT Electrolytes from DrinkLMNT.com - Collect your FREE 8-Pack of Electrolytes with any purchase: DrinkLMNT.com/Wild  DS-01™ Probiotics and Prebiotics from Seed.com - Save 25% off your first month with promo code 25WILD
