Under kalla kriget planerade Sovjetunionen att ockupera Sverige vid ett krigsläge. Hotet gjorde att regeringen 1949 startade en hemlig organisation som skulle evakuera nyckelpersoner till Storbritannien och organisera motståndet mot ockupationsmakten om det värsta skulle hända.Den svenska motståndsrörelsen, med kodnamnet Metro, var redo att slå tillbaka om kriget kom. Högt uppsatta politiker, direktörer och fackföreningsledare samarbetade i det fördolda för att säkra Sveriges självständighet – med stöd från både kungahuset och regeringen.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu Premium samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Johan Wennström, statsvetare och forskare vid Försvarshögskolan, om Sveriges hemliga motståndsrörelse under kalla kriget. Han är aktuell med boken Sveriges sak var vår där vi får en samlad och väldokumenterad bild av den hemliga svenska Stay Behind-rörelsen.Sveriges motståndsorganisation Metro – i folkmun kallad Stay Behind – organiserades i strikt hemlighet från 1949 och framåt, med uppdrag att verka i det tysta efter en eventuell sovjetisk invasion. Dåvarande statsminister Tage Erlander utfärdade i juni 1949 fyra hemliga fullmakter för att planlägga en motståndsrörelse. Fullmakterna gavs till högt uppsatta personer inom näringslivet och militären – bland dem försäkringsdirektören Alvar Lindencrona och arméchefen Carl August Ehrensvärd. Verksamheten legaliserades formellt 1955 genom ett tidigare okänt konseljbeslut.På Fleminggatan 17 i Stockholm, bakom en anonym dörr märkt ”Driftbyrån”, dolde sig under kalla kriget en av Sveriges bäst bevarade hemligheter. Här utbildades utvalda svenskar i sabotage, konspiration och överlevnad – inte för att anfalla, utan för att göra motstånd vid en framtida sovjetisk ockupation.Organisationen var strikt hierarkisk, uppbyggd enligt principen om ”vertikal kontakt” – medlemmarna kände endast till sina närmaste över- och underordnade. Under täcknamn fick de utbildning i sabotage, spaning och hantering av cyanidkapslar, ofta i isolerade bås där de inte ens såg varandra.Forskaren Johan Wennström avfärdar övertygande att den svenska motståndsrörelsen inte var en NATO-filial. Till skillnad från andra europeiska Stay Behind-nätverk var den svenska rörelsen självständig, även om det fanns vissa kontakter med väst. Organisationen förberedde flyktvägar till Norge och Storbritannien, planerade för ett exilhögkvarter i England och tränade för sabotage- och partisankrig.En unik aspekt av Metro var samarbetet över klassgränser. Både LO:s ordförande Arne Geijer och SAF:s ledare Curt-Steffan Giesecke deltog i rörelsens ledning. Samarbetet speglade den så kallade Saltsjöbadsandan – ett svenskt försvar byggt på samförstånd snarare än konflikt.Organisationen finansierades med statliga medel och bidrag från näringslivet fram till 1992, men lades aldrig formellt ned. Under 1990-talet tog general Robert Lugn över ledarskapet – därefter blir spåren allt mer otydliga. Ingen vet säkert om rörelsen fortfarande existerar.Musik: The Last Stand av Jon Presstone, Storyblock Audio.Bild. Broschyren Om kriget kommer från 1952 från Kungliga Civilförsvarstyrelsen.

Fascismen är en av 1900-talets mest destruktiva och inflytelserika ideologier. Ursprungligen formulerad av Benito Mussolini i Italien efter första världskriget, kom fascismen att inspirera en rad totalitära rörelser världen över. Trots att begreppet i dag främst används som skällsord – fascistsvin, språkfascist, miljöfascist – finns det en verklig ideologisk kärna att analysera.Vad finner vi om vi skalar bort retoriken och undersöker den fascism som tog makten i Italien på 1920-talet – och som i viss mån överlevde även efter Mussolinis fall?Framför allt handlar det om en extremt nationalistisk ideologi, djupt rotad i socialdarwinismens idéer om kamp och överlevnad. Fascismen hyllade staten på individens bekostnad, och såg nationen som en levande organism i ständig kamp mot andra. Medborgarna skulle fullständigt underordna sig statens intressen och enas i syfte att uppnå en nationell pånyttfödelse. Interna konflikter, som klasskampen, skulle biläggas. Demokratin betraktades som ett uttryck för svaghet – i stället krävdes ett starkt ledarskap i form av en diktator som kunde föra nationen mot storhet, även om vägen dit gick via krig.Just detta blev fascismens fall. Hade Mussolini avstått från militära äventyr är det mycket möjligt att hans diktatur kunnat bestå långt efter andra världskriget.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, med fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om fascismen – dess idéhistoria, begreppets utveckling och den ideologiska struktur som döljer sig bakom ett av vår tids mest laddade ord.Bildtext: Benito Mussolini med tre av de fyra fascistiska quadrumvirerna under mötet i Neapel den 24 oktober 1922. Från vänster: okänd person, Emilio De Bono, Benito Mussolini, Italo Balbo och Cesare Maria De Vecchi. Fotot togs vid det fascistiska kongressmötet i Neapel, som fungerade som en generalrepetition inför marschen mot Rom några dagar senare. Marschen mot Rom var ett avgörande steg i Mussolinis maktövertagande i Italien och inledde den fascistiska diktaturen. Okänd fotograf, Wikipedia, Public Domain.

James Maury Henson (September 24, 1936 – May 16, 1990) was an American puppeteer, actor, animator, creative producer, and director who achieved worldwide notability as the creator of the Muppets. Henson was also well known for creating Fraggle Rock (1983–1987) and as the director of The Dark Crystal (1982) and Labyrinth (1986), as well as creating the puppets for Sesame Street (1969–present).Born in Greenville, Mississippi, and raised in both Leland, Mississippi, and University Park, Maryland, Henson began developing puppets in high school. He created Sam and Friends (1955–1961), a short-form comedy television program on WRC-TV, while he was a freshman at the University of Maryland, College Park, in collaboration with fellow student Jane Nebel. Henson and Nebel co-founded Muppets, Inc. – now The Jim Henson Company – in 1958, and married less than a year later in 1959. Henson graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in home economics.In 1969, Henson joined the children's television program Sesame Street (1969–present) where he helped to develop Muppet characters for the series. He and his creative team also appeared on the first season of the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (1975–present). He produced the sketch comedy television series The Muppet Show (1976–1981) during this period. Henson revolutionized the way puppetry is captured and presented in video media, and he won fame for his characters – particularly Kermit the Frog, Rowlf the Dog, and the characters on Sesame Street. During the later years of his life, he founded the Jim Henson Foundation and Jim Henson's Creature Shop. He won the Emmy Award twice for his involvement in The Storyteller (1987–1988) and The Jim Henson Hour (1989).Henson died in New York City from toxic shock syndrome caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. At the time of his death, he was in negotiations to sell his company to The Walt Disney Company, but talks fell through after his death. He was posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1991, and was named a Disney Legend in 2011.PICTURE: By Gotfryd, Bernard, photographer - https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2020731151/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=121240127

Den 4 september 1827 förändrades Åbo för alltid. Storfurstendömet Finlands största stad, det akademiska och kulturella centrumet i det ryska Finland härjades av en förödande eldsvåda som kom att bli Nordens största stadsbrand.Under drygt ett dygn brann tre fjärdedelar av staden ner, 11 000 människor blev hemlösa, och ovärderliga kulturskatter gick förlorade. För första gången nådde nyheten om en katastrof i Finland världens alla hörn – en händelse som etsat sig fast i invånarnas kollektiva minne.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Hannu Salmi, professor i kulturhistoria vid Åbo universitet. Han är aktuell med boken Åbo i lågor: Minnen från branden 1827 (Apell förlag, Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finland, 2025). Detta är ett betalt samarbete med Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finland.Åbo var storfurstendömets obestridliga hjärta, trots att tsar Alexander I formellt hade utnämnt Helsingfors till administrativ huvudstad redan 1812. Staden bar på ett arv som sträckte sig tillbaka till 1200-talet.Hannu Salmi har fokuserat på människornas upplevelse av branden - hur det faktiskt kändes att stå mitt i ett rasande eldhav – och vad det innebar att vakna upp till en stad i spillror. Katastrofen är mer än fysisk förstörelse, en emotionell chock. Ljudet från fallande kyrkklockor, hettan från brinnande byggnader, panikens kaos – allt fångades i dagböcker och brev som boken återger med närgången empati.I generationer lärde sig barn i Finland att branden orsakades av en tjänsteflicka som av oaktsamhet kokade talg. Men detta är en myt – en berättelse skapad för att hantera skuld. Den egentliga orsaken låg i stadsplaneringens misslyckanden och myndigheternas passivitet. Pigan var aldrig den skyldiga. Istället har historien förvanskats av bland andra historieprofessorn Zacharias Topelius.Åbo var en stad byggd av trä. Av stadens gårdar och byggnader var nästan alla uppförda i timmer, ofta med takmaterial som näver, torv eller spån, vilket utgjorde en enorm brandrisk. Stadsplanen hade växt fram organiskt under århundraden. Detta resulterade i en labyrint av smala, slingrande gator och återvändsgränder som hade formats av fotgängare och hästkärror snarare än av brandsäkerhetstänkande. Husen stod tätt, ofta vägg i vägg eller takfot mot takfot, och innergårdarna var fyllda av uthus, stall och förråd som ytterligare förtätade bebyggelsen och skapade perfekta spridningsvägar för eld. Sommaren 1827 hade dessutom varit exceptionellt torr.Vid tiden för branden huserade Åbo landets viktigaste institutioner. Domkyrkan var inte bara en religiös symbol utan också förvaringsplats för historiska dokument, kungliga gravmonument och adelns släktvapen. Det var en byggnad som ansågs oförstörbar, en fast punkt i en föränderlig värld. Åbo Akademi, grundad 1640, var landets enda universitet och dess intellektuella nav. Dess bibliotek och samlingar representerade Finlands samlade minne och vetenskapliga framsteg. Här fanns böcker, handskrifter och naturvetenskapliga samlingar som byggts upp under nästan två sekler. Staden var hem för eliten: professorer, prästerskap, hovrättsråd och köpmän levde sida vid sida med hantverkare, sjömän och tjänstefolk.En gnista, troligen från en skorsten, tände eld på en höskulle i det brandfarliga kvarteret Aningaisbacken. Tillsammans med stormvindar, torka och ett eftersatt brandskydd utvecklades elden till ett inferno – en eldstorm som drevs av sina egna vindar och temperaturer. På mindre än ett dygn låg 75 procent av staden i ruiner. Officiellt omkom 27 personer, men tusentals förlorade allt: hem, arbete, tillhörigheter – och sin plats i världen.Bildtext: Efter Åbo brand (1827) av Gustaf Wilhelm Finnbergs visar förödelsen i Åbo centrum efter den stora stadsbranden samma år.

Can you copyright a horoscope, enhance a century-old tarot deck and claim protection, or assign your stage name and lose it in court? We open the year by charting the legal sky where creativity, belief, and branding intersect—and sometimes collide. From a syndicated astrologer's claim that near-identical forecasts kept running without a license, to a software company's short-lived effort to assert control over historical time zone data, we unpack the crucial line between ideas and expression, facts and creativity, public domain and protectable derivative work.We also step into the studio with the icons. The Walter Mercado saga reveals how a personal brand can be transformed into a trademark owned by someone else, with lasting consequences for the artist behind it. Along the way, we explore what separates simple restoration from original creativity in tarot publishing, why databases of raw facts remain free for all, and how small wording choices in daily horoscopes can carry real legal weight. The thread tying it all together: the cosmos is shared; the way we package it is not.Expect practical takeaways for creators, publishers, and entrepreneurs: register original writing, document design decisions, start from public-domain sources rather than competitors' upgrades, and read every clause before assigning names, logos, or likenesses. If you're building an astrology app, launching a zodiac product line, or reviving classic esoteric art, this deep dive will help you navigate trademarks, copyrights, and contracts without dimming your creative light.Enjoy the episode?

För 500 år sedan översattes nya testamentet till svenska, en händelse som markerar att vi gick från fornsvenska till nusvenska. Men vägen dit hade varit lång. Det språk vi idag kallar svenska växte fram ur urgermanska rötter, slipades av kontakt med latin, lågtyska och andra nordiska tungomål, och formades av kristendomens och statens framväxt.Svenskan har aldrig varit statisk. Den har burit kungars lagar, folkets röster och samtidens idéer. Från ett namn på en dialekt till ett nationellt verktyg för identitet och kommunikation. Viktiga händelser som bibelöversättningar, tryckkonstens utveckling och folkskola har kodifierat svenskan, spritt den och befäst den.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med språkvetaren och författaren professor Tore Janson om det svenska språkets historia — från indoeuropeiska rötter till 1900-talet. Samtalet utgår från Jansons bok Svenskans historia: språkets roll under 800 år.Redan för över 4 000 år sedan talade människor i nuvarande Sverige ett språk med rötter i det indoeuropeiska språkträdet – samma stam som latin, sanskrit och grekiska. Men det skulle dröja årtusenden innan något kunde kallas svenska. Under lång tid talade människor i Skandinavien en form av nordgermanskt språk som saknade både skrift och namn. Runinskrifterna från järnåldern är bland de första språkliga spåren, men ger begränsad inblick i vardagligt språkbruk.På 1000-talet var språket i Svealand och Götaland i stort sett enhetligt. I isländska källor kallades det dansk tunga – ett gemensamt namn för nordbornas språk. Termen svenska användes ännu inte om vare sig folk eller språk.Det verkliga språksprånget skedde med kristendomens införande och framväxten av en svensk statsapparat. Kyrkan förde med sig det latinska alfabetet, utbildning och behovet av skriftliga texter. Under 1200-talet började svenskan skrivas med latinska bokstäver, först i juridiska sammanhang. Den äldsta kända texten är Äldre Västgötalagen från 1220-talet – en lagtext nedtecknad av kyrkans män på folkets språk, men med latinsk skriftteknik.Samtidigt växte Sverige fram som ett mer samlat kungarike, vilket ökade behovet av ett gemensamt språk och reglerat skriftspråk. Under Birger jarls tid på 1200-talet stabiliserades statsmakten, och skriftspråket fick större genomslag i administration och rättskipning.Det är först år 1308 som ordet svenska dyker upp för första gången upp i skrift — i en översättning av en riddarroman beställd av den norska drottningen Eufemia. Ett avgörande belägg finns i en epilog till riddardikten om hertig Fredrik av Normandie, där det står att texten ”är nu gjord till rima... av tysko och i svenska tunga”. Denna benämning markerar en ny språklig medvetenhet – att svenskan var något eget, skilt från danska och tyska.Svenskans status stärktes ytterligare i Magnus Erikssons landslag (1347), som fastslog att rättsliga dokument från kung, lagman och häradshövding skulle skrivas ”a svensko” – på svenska. Därmed blev svenska inte bara ett språk i bruk, utan ett riksspråk med juridisk och politisk funktion.Bildtext: Genesis ur Gustav Vasas bibel från 1541, den första fullständiga bibeln på svenska. Översättningen bidrog starkt till att standardisera skriftspråket och lade grunden för modern svenska under tidigmodern tid. Litteraturbanken.

Have you seen the “Grinch prank” video trend? Bad parenting, yes. But also a nod to the conflicts, ancient and modern, embedded in Christmas.  Contrary to what Bill O'Reilly would tell you, there has never been a “war on Christmas.” Rather, Christmas itself has always been a battleground over love, dignity, and resources. What we're really fighting over is who gets care in systems built on scarcity and extraction.

About Michael Hampton  After studying jazz guitar in high school, an impromptu backstage audition for George Clinton in 1974 earned 17-year-old Michael a seat on the Parliament mothership alongside the immortal Eddie Hazel, under the name "Kidd Funkadelic". Hampton has spent the past half-century playing nearly 400 shows with the band, in 25 countries across 6 continents. Highlights include multiple appearances at world-renowned festivals like Montreux Jazz, Glastonbury, Reading, Woodstock '99, Coachella, Bonnaroo, Roskilde, Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock, and Isle of Wight, and venues like the Apollo Theater, The Fillmore, Royal Albert Hall, Madison Square Garden, The Troubadour, Red Rocks, The Beacon, and Sydney Opera House. Among Hampton's Funkadelic writing credits are group staples like "Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!" and "Funk Gets Stronger", both released during the group's late-'70s/early-80s hit run. His lead guitar is also embedded in the DNA of 90s hip-hop's G-Funk movement-Dr. Dre's "Let Me Ride" samples Parliament's "Mothership Connection", Ice Cube's "Bop Gun" borrows elements of Funkadelic's "One Nation Under a Groove" Michael's latest album "Into the Public Domain" is available now on all streaming outlets.  Social Media: www.Instagram.com/michaelwhampton www.youtube.com/@MaWaHa Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2Je4BDRuE01NHCoWlw5hG9?si=pECMNHHxT6-tUONc9pbi-g  About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.
