Xi Jinping har stöpt om Kina och vill se en ny världsordning. Hör om Xis väg till makten och hur Donald Trump kan ge Kina mer spelrum och inflytande. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Under det senaste decenniet har Xi Jinping tagit Kina tillbaka till ett utpräglat kontroll- och övervakningssamhälle. Han har cementerat sin maktposition och gjort sig av med fiender. Men varifrån kommer Xi Jinping och varför blev just han det kinesiska kommunistpartiets generalsekreterare och därmed Kinas högsta ledare? Konflikt berättar om Xis väg till makten, hur han förändrat det kinesiska samhället och hur han vill förändra världen. När USA under Trump nu drar sig undan internationella samarbeten kan det ge utrymme för Kina att kliva fram, och redan idag syns hur Kina med framgång kan samla ett stort politiskt stöd i omvärlden. I avsnittet hör du Sveriges Radios nuvarande och tidigare Kinakorrespondenter göra nedslag som beskriver Xi's Kina. Följ med Moa Kärnstrand till turistbutikerna i Peking där det är svårt att köpa Xi-souvenirer. Följ med till Toronto i Kanada där Hanna Sahlberg möter en barnfamilj som lämnat Kina på grund av den ökade repressionen under Xi och hör Björn Djurberg, en av få som på senare år kommit nära Xi.Reportrar: Moa Kärnstrand, korrespondent i Peking.

Milyen megjelenési formái voltak az antifasizmusnak a háború utáni Magyarországon, Kelet Európában és globálisan? Ebben az adásunkban Bohus Kata történésszel, a tromsø-i egyetem munkatársával beszélgetünk arról, hogy a kutatásai során milyen darabokból illeszti össze az antifasizmusról 1989 után összetört képet. Mit jelentett az antifasizmus a szocialista országaiban? Milyen változatai voltak? Hogyan tette lehetővé az Anne Frank körül kialakult kultuszokat és ezáltal a megemlékezést a zsidó népirtásra? Mi adott különleges jelentőséget a Anne Frank naplójának a Kádár-rendszer és a mindennapok számára? Miért olvasták az apartheid ellen küzdő politikai foglyok a Robben-sziget börtöneiben? Miért lett kötelező olvasmány Japánban, és mit neveztek „Anna napoknak“?Beszélgetünk arról is, hogy hogyan emlékeztek meg Raoul Wallenbergről közvetlen munkatársai a háború után, mi tudható a svéd embermentő követségi titkár eltűnésének rejtélyéről, és hogy hogyan vált antifasiszta bajtársból a liberális emberi jogokért küzdő magányos hőssé a hidegháborús nyugaton a hetvenes évektől.A ¡No pasarán! podcastban az antifasizmus első száz évének történeteiből válogatunk.(0:00:00- 11:20) A holokauszt korai emlékezete(11:21 - 34:00) Anne Frank: Egy antifasiszta ikon?(34:01 - 1:05:24) Wallenberg: ember és mítoszAz adásban említett tudományos művek:Bohus Kata – Hallama Peter – Stach Stephan (eds.) 2022: Growing in the Shadow ofAntifascism.

Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat, saved thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Nazis during World War Two.Once Soviet troops reached Budapest, Wallenberg reported to Soviet officials on 17 January 1945. But he was never seen in public again. Rumours of his fate have circled ever since: a Soviet government report said he died of a heart attack in prison, while former officials said he was executed, and prisoners claimed to have seen him decades later. There is still a campaign to uncover what happened to him.Alex Last made this programme in 2015 using archive recordings.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Raoul Wallenberg in 1937.

As sides are being drawn, many men want to be the heroes that they believe will save this nation. But all true heroes, Glenn Beck says, have one thing in common: They didn't want to be heroes. They were afraid just like the rest of us. But they put aside that fear, surrendered to God, and did what was right. THAT is the kind of hero America needs: one of character, humility, and integrity. One who will stand for the TRUTH and teach it to his children, no matter what the culture says. In his speech at Jason Whitlock's "Fearless Army Roll Call 2.0" event, Glenn tells the stories of 2 heroes. One, George Washington, is well known. But many today don't know the true reason that men followed him into battle. The other, Raoul Wallenberg, few Americans have heard of. But his story of heroism during World War II brought Glenn to tears. Heroes: they're all around us," Glenn declares. “This is OUR time. This is YOUR call.” ► Watch MORE BlazeTV YouTube Videos: https://bit.ly/3EVRJHP ► Join BlazeTV and Watch LIVE Shows Daily! https://get.blazetv.com/ ► Visit the 'Blaze News' Website (No Annoying Ads!): https://www.theblaze.com/ ► Sign-Up for our NEWSLETTER: https://www.theblaze.com/newsletters/...

Show Notes: Jack Levy spent a year before college studying Judaic Studies and Talmudic studies in the Old City of Jerusalem. During his time in Harvard, he became particularly interested in Israel, as he had grown up with a strong Jewish background. He received a Raoul Wallenberg fellowship, funded by Fred Schwartz, to go to Hebrew University for a year after college during which he interned for Knesset member Naomi Hazan and worked for the Association for Civil Rights in Israel. From Columbia Law School to Venture Capital After Israel, Jack went to Columbia Law School. He worked one summer as a human rights lawyer and later worked for Wall Street firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher to pay off his debt. He chose that law firm based on their Israeli clients and had a great experience with a mentor named Peter Jakes. During his time at law school, Jack met his wife, Dahlia. They settled in New York for a while before moving to Israel. Jack worked at Willkie before transitioning to Register.com, an internet company. In 1999, the internet was booming. Jack spent four years as General Counsel of Register during the the .com boom. In 2003, they moved to Ra'anana, Israel, a suburb of Tel Aviv, and have raised their three children there. Jack practiced law briefly in Israel before becoming a venture capitalist in 2006. He was the first to raise the banner of cleantech or climate tech in Israel in 2006 and 2007, thanks to Harvard classmate Sanjay Wagle. The Israeli Experience after October 7 Life changed for all Israelis and Palestinians in the wake of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. All of the Jack's children serve in the military, and the community has experienced losses. The country came under attack by Hamas, led by Yahia Sinuar, and immediately followed by Hezbolla in the north. The October 7 attack resulted in horrific violence, crimes, destruction, rape, murder, and burning of people in the Southern Communities. Like many religiously observant Israelis, Jack and his family were in synagogue during the attack, when the rumors started to spread. Jack mentions that in the week prior to the attack he'd been on holiday in Jordan. Early in the morning of October 8, their best friends called to tell them that their 27-year-old son, Major Aryeh Ziering, had been killed by Hamas command naval commandos who had infiltrated Israel. Arey was an excellent fighter from the canine unit who had captured terrorists alongside some of the most elite forces during his service. He had gone to the United States to help train Navy SEALs with canine warfare. He was killed by 1pm that day.The next day, other friends found out that their son Hirsch had been kidnapped into Gaza, which ended with tragedy about a month ago when he was killed by Hamas. By the end of the first day, they had one friend whose son had been killed as a fighter, one friend who had been captured from the Nova festival and held prisoner by Hamas, and another business partner who lost his cousin's child fighting that day as well. As the war continued in the coming months, their network of friends who experienced loss widened to include – one who lost their nephew in December fighting in Gaza, one whose daughter's boyfriend was killed pursuing a terrorist in the West Bank, and others who lost their lives in the conflict. The story of the heroism of those who fought for their lives and the lives of others is one that will be told for generations. As a 54-year-old Israeli father, Jack has three children who have been fighting in the war, Jack explains the extremely high cost to Israeli families who have children in the army. Jack states that the present generation is remarkable, and he wrote a piece in the Times of Israel about the little league team he had coached going to war. He still plays softball with his boys and realized that by December, every child he coached was fighting in the war. How Heroism Drives Soldiers Jack shares the lessons he learned about conflict and military training. He talks about the importance of respecting American military families. He reflects on the recent tragic death of a soldier who recorded a video of himself before going into Lebanon, expressing love for the person behind him. He believes that Americans of his generation don't understand the importance of military families and the sacrifices made by soldiers. He grew up during the reckoning with the Vietnam War through Oliver Stone movies, and grew up thinking war was primarily unjust or wrong. Jack explains that the men and women fighting are often the best, motivated, kind, and loving people. He identifies with pacifism but lives only because there are people willing to defend him. Civilian War Rooms in Action The state apparatus of defense along the Israeli border failed on October 7, allowing hordes to burst through the borders and kidnap hundreds. However, people jumped into action. People established civilian war rooms, where they could be proactive in helping house, shelter, build and support in multiple ways. After October 7, many communities accepted refugees from the north and south - similar to the Second Lebanon War – and many in Jack's community helped families who had moved into hotels in the Dead Sea area. A friend of Jack, who lost her nephew, set up a school in the Dead Sea area within four days. The community extended to raising money to buy better helmets and equipment for reservists. This community-building effort was remarkable and comforting. Gazan Civilians under Hamas Jack, a former human rights attorney, discusses the situation with civilians in Gaza and the ethical considerations surrounding the response. He believes that the destruction to Gaza is horrific and tragic, with 40,000 people killed, but the problem is that it is not 40,000 civilians. Recent reports state that 30,000 of those were Hamas fighters or their family members. Jack blames Hamas for the destruction, but also emphasizes the morality and the need not to damage one's own cause. He shares first-hand testimony from his son, who describes his experience as a surveillance unit officer in Khan Yunis. He encourages people from outside Israel to focus on being “pro peace” rather than being “pro Israel” or “pro Palestine”. The Tech Industry in Israel Jack, an investor and startup expert, discusses the impact of travel restrictions on the tech industry in Israel as the travel restrictions due to missile attacks from Hamas,  Hezbollah and Iran have been problematic for Israeli companies. Despite the obstacles, he notes that Israeli companies have been able to function during this period.  In addition, it is common with Israeli technology companies for the CEOs to relocate to New York, Silicon Valley, Boston, or Austin, while the tech teams remain in Israel. Jack believes that the war is not good for the Israeli economy and that it is clearly awful for the lives of Palestinians, South Lebanon residents, and even people in Tehran. He believes that the US needs to take a more muscular reaction to the situation and help the parties find a way to end the war. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Jack discusses his experiences at Harvard, including courses taught by Stanley Hoffman, Michael Sandel, Louise Richardson, and others. He mentions his appreciation for Professor Stanley Hoffman's course Ethics and International Relations.  Jack was in touch recently with Professor Emeritus Michael Walzer of Princeton whose book he studied in that course and who had defended Israel's war against Hamas and Hezbollah but was critical of the alleged Israeli involvement in the Pager attack. Jack also mentions his love for Professor Michael Sandel, and Dame Louise Richardson, who was his junior faculty seminar professor when he was 21 and became his thesis advisor. She was a young professor who wrote a great book called What Terrorists Want, which became one of the most popular courses at Harvard after September 11.

A third party study reported in The Wall Street Journal noted that KIPP students were 19 percentage points more likely to graduate from a four year college than non KIPP students. They noted an effect of this size, extrapolated nationwide, would be large enough to nearly close the degree completion gap for Hispanic students, or entirely close the gap for black students. I'm proud to have served on the KIPP Northern California Board for over two decades, most recently as board chair. I keep coming back to KIPP because of the results they achieve.

America WON'T Last Much Longer if Men Don't Do THIS | Glenn Beck at Fearless Army Roll Call 2.0 Will America survive the 2024 election? As sides are being drawn, many men want to be the heroes that they believe will save this nation. But all true heroes, Glenn Beck says, have one thing in common: They didn't want to be heroes. They were afraid just like the rest of us. But they put aside that fear, surrendered to God, and did what was right. THAT is the kind of hero America needs: one of character, humility, and integrity. One who will stand for the TRUTH and teach it to his children, no matter what the culture says. In his speech at Jason Whitlock's "Fearless Army Roll Call 2.0" event, Glenn tells the stories of 2 heroes. One, George Washington, is well known. But many today don't know the true reason that men followed him into battle. The other, Raoul Wallenberg, few Americans have heard of. But his story of heroism during World War II brought Glenn to tears. Heroes: they're all around us," Glenn declares. “This is OUR time. This is YOUR call.” Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/OiNU4G4tH3A?si=mHvuBZqlcnlq5HD4 Glenn Beck 1.3M subscribers 48,745 views Jun 6, 2024 To watch the ENTIRE Fearless Army Roll Call 2.0 event, sign up at https://BlazeTV.com/Glenn for exclusive access. ► Click HERE to subscribe to Glenn Beck on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2UVLqhL ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV: get.blazetv.com/glenn ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV YouTube:    / @blazetv   ► Click HERE to sign up to Glenn's newsletter: https://www.glennbeck.com/st/Morning_...

At important meetings in 2021 and 2022, powerful leaders from government, finance, media, and business who support the World Economic Forum's plan for a Great Reset of capitalism launched a new “call to action” titled the “Great Narrative.” The Great Narrative campaign seeks to use the decay of traditional values throughout the West and new and future advancements in technology—including in the areas of artificial intelligence, automation, the metaverse, robotics, and more—to seize control of economies and societies in North America and Europe. The elites behind these proposals even plan to impact the way people across cultures and the planet understand what it means to be human and to have free will. According to the leaders of The Great Reset and Great Narrative movements, by the year 2030, your world will be fundamentally transformed. Together, the highly influential and often extremely wealthy figures and institutions behind the Great Narrative are building a troubling new framework for humanity, one that has the potential to change life on earth forever. Just as worrisome, the Communist Party of China and Vladimir Putin's authoritarian regime in Russia are adopting technology-centric approaches of their own to control citizens and institutions, both domestically and abroad. In Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset's Terrifying Next Phase, New York Times bestselling authors Glenn Beck and Justin Haskins reveal the most important technologies and social and cultural changes that will soon cause an unprecedented level of disruption in the United States, as well as in countless other nations. They also outline the dangers and opportunities associated with these disruptions and provide a plan to protect individuals and families from losing their liberty. How the free people of the world react to the challenges outlined in this revolutionary book will change the course of history for generations to come. In this emerging, intense struggle for the future of humankind, whose side will you be on?

Whether you work in retail, healthcare, or CPG, data analytics is key to making your business stand out. You're able to find new sources of data, synthesize them, and then work with business folks to get better and better insights. Even with all of the advantages analytics offers us, sometimes there's hesitancy to invest in data. In sports, it's the exact opposite. The use of data is felt immediately in game wins, player selection, and gate revenue.Known as “The Real Moneyball guy,” Ari Kaplan has revolutionized sports through analytics and is a leading influencer in the area, as well as in AI and data. He helped create analytics departments for the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Baltimore Orioles. Ari is now Head of Evangelism at Databricks where his team helped the Texas Rangers clinch their first World Series title. Satyen and Ari discuss data analytics in sports, how data intelligence platforms are shifting the landscape, and the concept of generation AI.--------“Even if we change nothing else, to be able to make better predictions of player development, finding what skills are better in the draft, predicting injuries and so on, that's part of the competitive advantages. How can we ingest this data? It's a ton of data. Terabytes of data every game, multiply that by dozens and dozens of teams at all levels around the world. Right now, teams are struggling to store it, process it on a daily basis. Teams that could do that faster will be an advantage. For listeners, if you're not in the baseball world, same idea. If you're in retail, CPG, healthcare, it's finding new sources of data, proprietary, nonproprietary. How could you synthesize it?

Regular listeners know how I look for role models in similar situations to ours regarding the environment. We know our polluting and depleting are bringing us toward collapse, but instead of acting, we procrastinate on acting. We rationalize and justify our inaction. We abdicate our responsibility, capitulate, and resign to complacency and complicity.Humans behaved this way in the face of slavery, especially during and after the Atlantic Slave Trade, which led me to bring several guests who were experts on that period and people who acted against it.Humans behaved this way in the face of fascism too. I'm not comparing people today to Nazis, but to Germans who may not have been Nazis, and may even have opposed them, but continued paying taxes, supporting them, and not opposing them. This episode brings my first subject-matter expert in the field of the rise of the Nazis. I've written and brought guests on who knew some people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Sousa Mendez, Raoul Wallenberg, and Oskar Schindler, but I haven't learned about the politics and conditions that led to Hitler's rise.Benjamin Carter Hett's book The Death of Democracy recounts that rise, to critical praise (of the book, not Hitler's rise), including new historical information.How could people watch it happen and not stop it?What can we learn from them to stop ourselves from procrastinating and watching it happen?What options do we have?

Az első részt a nyilasok hatalomátvételénél hagytuk abba, innen folytatjuk Raoul Wallenberg történetét. Október 15-e után a zsidó üldözöttek kilátásai tovább romlottak: a nyilasok nem voltak tekintettel arra, hogy ki áll diplomáciai védelem alatt, a védett házakban élőket és a védettségi igazolásokkal rendelkezőket is elhurcolták. Wallenberg személyesen ment el a gettókba, gyűjtőtáborokba, vasútállomásokra, hogy megvédje az embereket, miközben az ő élete is egyre inkább veszélyben forgott. A szovjetek érkezése pedig hamis reménnyel kecsegtetett…  Raoul Wallenberg bátorságával, elkötelezett szolgálatával több ezer ember életét mentette meg. Mi egy kétrészes adással szeretnénk emléket állítani neki és azoknak a - sokszor ismeretlen - hősöknek, akik a második világháború idején részt vettek az üldözöttek megmentésében.

1944 tavaszán - a német megszállást követően - megkezdődött a magyar zsidóság deportálása. Az aggasztó fejleményeket külföldön is feszült figyelemmel kísérték; Svédország vezetői elhatározták, hogy segítséget nyújtanak az üldözötteknek. 1944 júliusában egy fiatal svéd diplomata érkezett Budapestre, hogy megszervezze a magyar zsidók mentőakcióját: Raoul Wallenberg, történetünk főszereplője. A svéd nagykövetséget rengeteg kétségbeesett ember kereste fel védelem reményében. Wallenberg és a követség munkatársai feszített tempóban dolgoztak azon, hogy minél több embert megóvjanak a deportálástól. Útleveleket, védelmi igazolásokat állítottak ki, védett házakat hoztak létre és ha kellett, a megvesztegetésektől sem riadtak vissza… Mindezt egy cél érdekében: annyi embert megmenteni, amennyit csak lehet. Raoul Wallenberg több ezer embert mentett meg a haláltól. Kétrészes adásunk első felében bemutatjuk Raoul Wallenberget, és a nyilas hatalomátvételig követjük a munkáját.

Kina agerar mer aktivt i FN och jobbar för att vikta om systemet. Hör om orden som Kina vill föra in i de mänskliga rättigheterna. Dessutom virala pandor som får symbolisera Kinas omvärldsrelationer. Kinas övergrepp mot minoriteter är väldokumenterade och kinesers rättigheter kränks på daglig basis av diktaturen. Ändå pratar Kina allt oftare och allt mer självsäkert om mänskliga rättigheter, om hur man vill stöpa om dessa och förändra hela FN-systemet. Kina talar om att bryta västvärldens dominans i FN och jobbar för att föra in vad man kallar människocentrerade rättigheter.Lyckades ducka diskussion om Xinjiang-övergreppKinas vision bygger på att ekonomiskt och materiellt välstånd ses som en form av överordnad rättighet. Ett tydligt mål för Kinas nya proaktiva FN-strategi är att staters självbestämmande ska väga tyngre och mänskliga rättigheter betraktas som en inre angelägenhet.

I sit down with Katrina Lantos Swett, president of the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice and co-chair of the recently concluded International Religious Freedom Summit. We discuss her fight for human rights and religious freedom, including raising awareness about the Chinese regime's practice of forcibly harvesting the organs of Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience.And we discuss the legacy of Swett's late father, Congressman Tom Lantos, a survivor of the Holocaust, and what inspires her to continue her work.“My father had escaped from a slave labor camp. He was able to make his way back to Budapest and he found refuge in one of the safe houses that Raoul Wallenberg had set up … One of the things that [Raoul] Wallenberg did was he rented a number of buildings around Budapest, hung the Swedish flag there, basically said these are now part of the Swedish legation, and they are off-limits to the Nazis and to the Hungarian Arrow Cross,” she says. Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat, started issuing “protective passports” and inspired other members of the diplomatic corps in Hungary to do the same.“My mother would tell us: we called Wallenberg our Moses from the North, who had come to save us and lead us to the promised land. And so from a young age, both my sister and myself, we knew the stories of danger and of terror, but [also] that someone had come to help.”Follow American Thought Leaders on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmThoughtLeaderTruth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@AmThoughtLeaderGettr: https://gettr.com/user/amthoughtleaderFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanThoughtLeadersGab: https://gab.com/AmThoughtLeaderTelegram: https://t.me/AmThoughtLeader

From Budapest, Hungary, Agnes Schwartz was 10 years old when German forces occupied her town and her family was forced to move into a “Jewish Designated” or “Yellow Star” building. Their Catholic housekeeper, Julia, took Agnes to her home before the ghetto was established and claimed her as her niece. Agnes became a “hidden child,” living in the open but living in fear, not knowing when her family would be reunited. During the Allied bombings, she was sent underground to hide for months. Her father was saved by Raoul Wallenberg and hidden in one of his safe houses. Her grandmother, aunt, and uncle were rounded up and shot into the Danube River. Agnes' mother was deported and perished at Bergen Belsen concentration camp. Her book, “A Roll of the Dice,” is in its second publication.Library Highlight: Kanopy

Biden jokes about expanded fight with Russia: 'If I gotta go to war, I'm going with you guys' Biden tells union workers, 'This fight is far from over' https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-jokes-war-russia-ukraine-union-sanctions President Biden joked about the possibility of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to expand to directly involve the U.S. military on Wednesday, telling union workers, "If I gotta go to war, I'm going with you guys." Biden made the statement during an address to union workers at the North American Building Trades Unions legislative conference Wednesday. Biden opened his speech with a lengthy section addressing new sanctions against Russia. "This fight is far from over," Biden said. "Here's the point: This war could continue for a long time, but the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom." "And by the way, if I gotta go to war I'm going with you guys. I mean it," he added. Biden's statement comes after months of he and other administration officials stating that the U.S. will not deploy troops to Ukraine. The U.S. military has limited its deployments to nearby NATO countries, and warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that invasion of one of those countries would mean direct war with the U.S. --------------------------- In fiery speech, Ukraine's Zelensky implores U.N. Security Council to hold Russia to account https://ca.news.yahoo.com/zelensky-address-security-council-renewed-115338286.html Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in an impassioned address to the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday, likened perceived Russian atrocities in his homeland to Nazi war crimes, calling for Nuremberg-style tribunals to hold Moscow accountable. “They shot and killed women outside their houses. They killed entire families, adults and children, and they tried to burn the bodies,” Zelensky said in a video appearance before the Security Council, a day after an emotional visit to the ravaged town of Bucha, outside the capital, Kyiv. “They cut off limbs, slashed throats, raped women in front of their children," the Ukrainian leader said in his most forceful excoriation to date of the Russian invasion. In a perhaps risky strategy of sharply criticizing the body from which he is seeking help, Zelensky issued a stark challenge to world institutions such as the United Nations to make sweeping changes to the global security architecture, asking sardonically at one point: "Are you ready to close the U.N.?" “It is obvious that the key institutions of the world … simply cannot work effectively,” said the 44-year-old president, who has won worldwide accolades for presiding over his compatriots' fierce and sustained resistance to the Russian attempt to subjugate Ukraine. ----------------------------- Some hoped FDA approval of Pfizer's COVID vaccine would convince unvaccinated Americans. It didn't, study finds. But a study published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open found the shift from emergency use authorization of the vaccine to full approval did not sway unvaccinated Americans. Researchers from the University of Utah analyzed vaccination data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention starting July 25, a month before full FDA approval, to Sept. 9, the day before President Joe Biden made his vaccine mandate announcement. Using the vaccination rate leading up to full approval, they estimated how many doses would have been administered compared to the actual recorded number. Study authors found FDA approval was associated with an overall 36% increase in vaccinations, but most were second doses. First doses, they found, were 16% lower than predicted. Health experts are not surprised by the study's findings. “The reason why people get vaccinated has very little correlation with whether or not something is approved or an EUA,” said Dr. Jay W. Lee, a family physician and chief medical officer of Share Our Selves community health center in Orange County, California, who is not affiliated with the study. ---------------------------- Anti-vaccine beliefs come from a childhood of mistrust, study claims Are recent politics really to blame for the widespread resistance to the COVID-19 vaccine? A new study suggests that the real answer may go much deeper than people think. Researchers from Duke University say the passionate opposition to vaccinations and policies like mask mandates can trace its roots back all the way to a person's childhood. Their study claims that growing up in an atmosphere of mistrust leads to these attitudes later in life. “We had so many friends and family who initially said that the pandemic was a hoax, and then refused to wear a mask or social-distance, and kept singing in the choir and attending events,” says study senior author Terrie Moffitt in a university release. “And then when the vaccines came along, they said ‘over their dead bodies,' they would certainly not get them,” adds Moffitt, Duke's Nannerl O. Keohane University Distinguished Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience. “These beliefs seem to be very passionate and deeply held, and close to the bone. So we wanted to know where they came from.” ‘Don't trust the grownups' Researchers used data from the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, which has been tracking nearly all of the 1,000 people born between 1972 and 1973 from a single town in New Zealand. Researchers have been measuring each person's social, psychological, and health factors since childhood — giving scientists insights into how these early years impact adulthood. Study authors conducted a special survey of the group in 2021 to examine each participant's stance on the COVID-19 vaccine before the shots became available in the country. The team then matched each person's responses to the records on their upbringing and personality over the years. Results show that, 40 years ago, respondents who are now vaccine-resistant or express vaccine hesitancy had more adverse childhood experiences than others.

As President Biden made clear when he announced his plans to release 180 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Democrats are doing everything they can to try and blame rising prices on President Putin and the American energy industry (which Biden accused of greedily holding back on production, even though his own energy policies have made it harder for shale producers to do so). So, in their latest attempt to blame the spike in prices on evil corporate America, Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations are holding a hearing on Wednesday, where they will interrogate the CEOs of Exxon Mobil, Chevron, BP America, Shell USA, Devon Energy Corp and Pioneer about the dynamics driving the surge in prices at the pump. The title of the hearing tells one everything they need to know about the overall tone: "Gouged At The Gas Station: Big Oil And America's Pain At The Pump". In testimony submitted to the subcommittee, the oil executives explained that a combination of labor and supply shortages have stopped their companies from raising output back to pre-pandemic levels, while the price of oil and gas are largely determined by international market conditions beyond their control. Of course, this reasoning was apparently lost on the Democrats. In an interview with Reuters, Democrat members of the committee are already sharpening their knives. "We will not sit back and allow the fossil fuel industry to take advantage of the American people and gouge them at the pump," Diana DeGette, a Democrat and chair of the subcommittee, said about the hearing at which executives from Exxon Mobil, Chevron, BP America, Shell USA , Devon Energy and Pioneer will testify. "We want to know what's causing these record-high prices and what needs to be done to bring them down immediately," she said. Many Democrats have complained that oil companies have made record profits while consumers face high prices. In addition to the executives, former Trump Administration National Security Advisor HR McMaster, now a senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institute, will also participate. ----------------------- FEATURED GUEST NEW BOOK from #1 Nationally Bestselling Author: The Dancer and The Devil April 6, 2022, Washington, D.C.—Communism must kill what it cannot control. So, for a century, it has killed artists, writers, musicians, and even dancers. It kills them secretly, using bioweapons and poison to escape accountability. Among its victims was Anna Pavlova, history's greatest dancer, who was said to have God-given wings and feet that never touched the ground. But she defied Stalin, and for that she had to die. Her sudden death in Paris in 1931 was a mystery until now. The Dancer and the Devil: Stalin, Pavlova, and the Road to the Great Pandemic by nationally bestselling author John O'Neill and international lawyer Sarah Wynne traces Marxism's century-long fascination with bioweapons, from the Soviets' leak of pneumonic plague in 1939 that nearly killed Stalin to leaks of anthrax at Kiev in 1972 and Yekaterinburg in 1979; from the leak of a flu in northeast China in 1977 that killed millions to the catastrophic COVID-19 leak from biolabs in Wuhan, China. Marxism's dark past must not be a parent to the world's dark future. COMMUNIST CHINA PLAYED WITH FIRE AND THE WORLD IS BURNING Nearly ten million people have died so far from the mysterious COVID-19 virus. These dead follow a long line of thousands of other brave souls stretching back nearly a century who also suffered mysterious "natural" deaths, including dancers, writers, saints, and heroes. These honored dead should not be forgotten by an amnesiac government trying to avoid the inconvenient truth. The dead and those who remember and loved them deserve answers to two great questions. How? Why? The Dancer and the Devil answers these questions. It tracks a century of Soviet and then Chinese Communist poisons and bioweapons through their development and intentional use on talented artists and heroes like Anna Pavlova, Maxim Gorky, Raoul Wallenberg, and Alexei Navalny. It then tracks leaks of bioweapons beginning in Saratov, Russia, in 1939 and Soviet Yekaterinburg in 1979 through Chinese leaks concluding with the recent concealed leak of the manufactured bioweapon COVID-19 from the military lab in Wuhan, China. Stalin, Putin, and Xi, perpetrators of these vast crimes against humanity itself, should not be allowed to escape responsibility. This book assembles the facts on these cowardly murderers, calling them to account for their heartless crimes against man culminating in COVID-19.
