Europe and the US are increasingly having differing approaches to everything from free trade to free speech to combatting disinformation to defence to the role of the judiciary. What does that mean for Global Order? Or rather – in our mad mad mad mad world – what does this mean for the extent of Global Disorder?    In this episode, hosts Alexandra Hall Hall and Jason Pack are reunited in person in DC. Jason talks of his misadventures on Capitol Hill – and relates anecdotes he has picked up about the DOGE sledgehammer, Republicans bullying Canadians, and the post-apocalyptic feeling of the place. Jason and Alex anchor the episode around the divergence btw the US and Europe on issues of: Democracy, Misinformation, Corruption and Fraud; National Security/Foreign Policy; and Economy/Tariffs.    They delve into the way the political climate ‘feels' in the US under Trump's administration, and the differences in judicial accountability of major political figures between the US and Europe – looking at the Le Pen case in particular. Jason expresses his mad admiration of France and Sweden.    Plus: could civil disobedience grow in the US? Are Trump's policies being decided by non-experts who launder Russian misinformation like Laura Loomer – a new Tiktok influencer Rasputin? And can Kier Starmer be bold enough to help us Order the Disorder? And what can Sir Keir learn from Canada's Mark Carney who seems naturally gifted at standing up to Trump.

Edition No118 | 27-03-2025 - Surkov is a useful path to understanding the perverse and contradictory heart of contemporary Russia. Exploring a recent interview Vladislav Surkov conducted with L'Express reveals a secretive, complicated and controversial man. He is known as Putin's Rasputin, the Grey Cardinal of the Kremlin or the Puppet Master. Sourkov is the shadowy adviser who inspired novelist Giuliano da Empoli to write The Wizard of the Kremlin. He can be considered the 'architect' of the Russian political system but who has distanced himself from the man he served for two decades, Vladimir Putin. No one knows what Sourkov is doing today. In the L'Express interview he avoided the question. 1. He is one of the architects of the post-truth worldLong before Donald Trump weaponized the term ‘fake news', Surkov was honing his art. Today, Moscow is using Surkov's techniques to sow political confusion in democracies throughout the western world. A former associate said: “That's a fashion created and nourished by Surkov: this flavour of post-modernism. Nothing is true. There is no truth. There are alternative truths.”2. He rose from nowhere to become the power behind the throne in Putin's RussiaHe invented 'Sovereign Democracy', a system in which the illusion of democratic choice only had one outcome: the continuation of Putin's rule. One former colleague said of him: Vladimir Putin owes much of his success to Surkov's machinations.“At the ends of his fingers he controlled the threads of so many political structures. Those structures were so complicated that only Surkov knew where everything was: the opposition, the political parties, MPs, the governors, the creation or closing of political movements or NGOs, the church, the media, civil society...” ----------LINKS:https://www.lexpress.fr/monde/europe/exclusive-vladislav-sourkov-the-kremlins-wizard-russia-will-expand-in-all-directions-as-far-as-god-WWIE5OJMPVHJ5KTTAHNLE4WPME/?cmp_redirect?cmp_redirect=truehttps://www.ft.com/content/1324acbb-f475-47ab-a914-4a96a9d14bachttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39342784-almost-zero----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

The Middleman is an epic drama of whistleblowers, murder, thrills, and legal combat—torn out of today's headlines.Nicholas “Deke” Deketomis and his law firm take on America's Big Pharma when Deke's college pal, Matt Redmond, presents him with a case of possible fraud involving EirePharma, the Redmond family business and a powerful Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM). PBMs serve as the “middlemen” between drug manufacturers and insurance companies, working in cryptic ways to determine not only the cost of drugs but also placing them on insurers' preferred formularies. EirePharma was recently taken over by the charismatic CEO, Connor Devlin, who has a Rasputin-like influence over Matt's cousin, Amy, the company's current president. Devlin may be utilizing racketeering practices—and perhaps murder—to raise the prices of insulin and other drugs for his own profit and to the detriment of consumers.Amy, who at first was in love with Devlin, decides—at great peril—to become her company's whistleblower and provide evidence to Deke and his team. When key witnesses and even Redmond family members meet mysterious and violent deaths, Amy finds herself a pawn caught in the center of a frightening and deadly game of wills between a formidable gangster, who in the eyes of the public is a respected businessman, and a law firm that is determined to investigate and uncover the Middleman's crimes.In the tradition of Suspicious Activity and Inhuman Trafficking, Mike Papantonio takes Deke and his cohorts on a new and different kind of legal gamble in The Middleman, which is chock full of the action and thrills for which he is known.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Michael Malloy—also known as Mike the Durable—is the closest thing history has to a real-life Rasputin. In 1930s New York, a group of small-time crooks hatched the dumbest insurance scam of all time: take out a life insurance policy on a local drunk and kill him for the payout. Simple, right? Except Malloy had the constitution of a cockroach. Poisoned drinks? He asked for another round. Antifreeze? Tasted just fine. Rotten oysters marinated in wood alcohol? Delicious. Even running him over with a taxi twice wasn't enough. In this episode of The Lesser Known People Podcast, we break down the hilariously stupid series of attempts to take Malloy out, the absurd perseverance of one very drunk man, and the ultimate downfall of the criminal "masterminds" behind the plot. If you love true crime, dark comedy, and stories so ridiculous they sound fake, this one's for you.

It couldn't be truer that people pay attention to who the President, King, or Prime Minister is hanging out with.  It would make sense that the people closest to the person in charge would have at least a voice in the ear of the person calling the shots.  We have an interesting situation going on now, but imagine if the person closest to the person in charge of an empire was a self-proclaimed mystic and faith healer?   What would it look like with Ms. Cleo in the ear of George W. during the tough days following 9/11?  Enter the tale of Rasputin.  Grigori Rasputin came from the remote area of Siberia to become one of the major influences of the Russian Empire.  His rise to prominence was carved by the path of religion and many thought he had healing powers, including the King and Queen.  But did Rasputin live the holy life he preached about?  What was his relationship with the King's children really like?  If he wasn't funny, and not good looking at all, how did he pull so much tail?  We'll dive into all this and more in the Rasputin episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: TIK TOK [No Copyright Sound] Trap Beat [Hip Hop, Rap, Instrumental] [ FREE USE MUSIC ] - Deceiver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dJC5lLHnXU&t=0s https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/         Citations: Smith, D.

(The Albert K. Bender Story) *** Daryl Collins' encounters demonstrate the sheer level of weirdness that surrounds the UFO phenomenon. (Alien Abductions and High Strangeness) *** A young girl sees an odd cube shape floating in her back yard among the trees. Was it extraterrestrial, paranormal, or just the wild imagination of a child? (Floating Multi-Color Box) *** What began as a joke to tease his sister, became all too real for the boy. (Ouija) *** Legend has it that a man murdered his wife and young daughter, before committing suicide. Has this caused the Banff Springs Hotel to become haunted? (Room 873) *** Frank Nash was not only an infamous outlaw, but he could escape just about any prison – even the prison of his own coffin after being dead and buried. (The Kansas City Massacre) *** Due to a murderous plot, 11-year old Terry Jo Duperrault spent 84 grueling hours alone at sea until she was rescued. (Orphaned At Sea) *** Moving into your own place alone for the first time is often an exciting moment in a young adult's life – but it can also be a bit nerve-racking. But then, it probably doesn't help if you move into a place that is haunted. (My Closet Door) *** The true story of Rasputin is full of both truths and lies. Was he a controversial mystic with healing powers, or an evil or misunderstood man? Maybe he was a little of both.

Suoraa puhetta johtaa Ruben Stiller. Keskustelijoina ovat Kaarina Hazard, Hilkka Olkinuora ja Pekka Seppänen. Kaarina Hazard on lukenut Ilta-Sanomista Taloustutkimuksen tekemän kyselyn tulokset suomalaisten huolenaiheista, jotka ovat sitten edellisen kyselyn (2,5 vuotta aiemmin) muuttuneet merkittävästi. Valtavasti on noussut kansalaisten huoli eriarvoistumisen ja tuloerojen kasvun suhteen. Kaarinan mielestä suomalaiset seuraavat sisäpolitiikkaa hyvin ja tarkasti. Hänestä kyselyn tulokset myös heijastelevat aika lailla hallituksen tekemiä päätöksiä, niiden seurauksia ja niistä syntyvää huolta. Kaarina esittää raatilaisille kysymyksen, mitä ajattelette huolenaiheista ja muutoksista niissä? Seuraako oma sisäinen kansalaispulssinne suomalaista trendiä vai oletteko yhtä mieltä valtiovarainministerimme kanssa, jonka mukaan suomalaiset ovat väärin huolissaan? Maanantaina 6.1. vahvistettiin USA:n presidentinvaalien tulos. Hilkka Olkinuora haluaa tietää, kenet me itse asiassa olemme saaneet sinne presidentiksi? Saimmeko tupla Trumpin? Castorin ja Polluxin vai Romuluksen ja Remuksen? Onko Elon Musk varjopresidentti, perskärpänen vai Rasputin? Onko hän uhka demokratialle ja jopa ihmishengille? Hilkka tiedustelee keskustelijoilta kahta asiaa. Mikä mies Trump on ja miten Trump-ilmiö on mahdollinen? Amerikkaan on syntymässä plutokratia eli rikkaiden harvainvalta, jossa rikkaat häpeämättä käyttävät rikkauttaan esim. ostavat valtaa. Onko plutokratian pelko aiheeton? Nato-maita on uhattu sotilasvoimien käytöllä. Yhdysvaltain presidentti Donald Trump ei ole sulkenut pois sotavoiman käyttöä, jotta Grönlanti saataisiin Yhdysvaltain hallintaan. Pekka Seppäsen mielestä nyt näyttää siltä, että olemme maailmassa jossa Natoon hyökätään jopa Naton sisältä. Onko Suomen Nato-jäsenyys edelleen pelkkä oikotie onneen, vai sotkeudutaanko yhä todennäköisemmin aina vain mutaisempiin velleihin? Olemmeko velvoitettuja puolustamaan Tanskaa, johon Grölanti kuuluu ja olemaan tärkeimmän liittolaisemme vihollinen tässä kiistassa?

El 16 de diciembre 1916, Grigori Rasputín, autoproclamado curandero y confidente del zar, fue asesinado de un disparo en la parte posterior de la cabeza. Sus enemigos temen que su control sobre la familia Romanov haya ido demasiado lejos. Esta es la historia de cómo un simple campesino emergió a las filas de la aristocracia rusa hasta ganarse la confianza del zar y la zarina y esencialmente convertirse en uno de los hombres más poderosos de Rusia. Por desgracia para él, su influencia sobre la familia atraería la atención de muchos enemigos, garantizando su caída en desgracia y en última instancia a su muerte. La muerte de Rasputín, según la historia, se centra en un grupo de nobles rusos, Vladímir Purishkevich, Félix Yusupov y Dmitri Pavlovich, que, en los últimos años, todos admitieron haber participado en su asesinato.

Like what you're hearing? Let us know!Discover the enigmatic world of Australian cinema with us as Super Marcy from the Super Network joins the conversation about the 1980 thriller "Harlequin." Imagine the intrigue of a political family meeting a mysterious healer—this is just the tip of the iceberg as we unravel the film's captivating narrative surrounding the Rast family and the elusive Gregory Wolf. Spearheaded by talents like Robert Powell and David Hemmings, and guided by director Simon Wincer and screenwriter Everett DeRoche, we explore how "Harlequin" stands as a unique gem within the Ozploitation genre. Reflect on how this film fits into the broader tapestry of Australian cinema, and why it's a must-watch on platforms like Australia's Broly.From political thrillers to historical mysteries, the episode takes a fascinating detour into the real-life enigma of former Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt. Vanished without a trace, his disappearance sparked wild theories, from CIA abduction to submarine escapes, and we ponder the irony of a swimming pool bearing his name. We even draw unexpected parallels between this national mystery and the triumphant moment in rugby league history when the Cronulla Sharks finally claimed victory, "turning off the porch lights" and ending decades of anticipation for their loyal fans.Peel back the layers of "Harlequin" as we dissect its themes of illusion versus reality, and liken Gregory Wolf's character to historical figures like Rasputin. From practical effects to Brian May's haunting score, we appreciate the artistry that sets this film apart from typical Ozploitation offerings. With lively discussions on its ambiguous scenes and the performances that bring tension and depth to the screen, this episode is an invitation to rediscover a film that challenges perceptions and captivates the imagination. Join us for a journey through political intrigue, cinematic mysteries, and the fascinating landscape of Australian storytelling.Support the showA Dingo Ate My Movie Socials:WebsiteBlueskyFacebookInstagramLetterboxdEmailMusic from the movies featured on the podcast: SpotifyApple MusicSupport Me At BuyMeACoffee Please note that this podcast often explores topics and uses language from past eras.

For years we've discussed dropping the Side Probe from the archives where we met a penis in a jar and now the time has come... For the ears of all, here is that historic episode where we probe Rasputin. Oh my, there is a lot to get through here and we brought it all to you in a single extended episode. The rumours say that Rasputin was a man of paranormal abilities but was he really? We establish that the Tsar or Czar, Nicolas (the Second) Romanov, had a regal moustache before diving straight in to Rasputin's origin story. What is it about Rasputin's eyes? Was Nickelodeon around in the early 1900's? Or had the miracle healing powers of Rugrats plasters not been invented yet? Did you know that Rasputin actually changed his name? You'll never believe what to as it's such a big departure from Rasputin but why did he do it? Unfortunately, eventually, Rasputin would one day discover that with great power comes great responsibility. Once he did, where did Rasputin's dick supposedly end up?

In 2004 Guillermo Del Toro brought us the cinematic introduction of Hellboy, a demonic entity summonded from hell but who fights for the forces of good. Played pitch perfectly by Rob Pearlman and joined by the likes of Doug Jones as Abe Sapien and Selma Blair as Liz Sherman the first movie deals with stopping the Nazi's (lead by Rasputin) from opening a portal into another dimension to bring forth Ogdru Jahad, a cthulhu like squid monster. All in all, pretty good. Pretty good we reckon.
