Two Revolutions are Combining to Destroy America • Fire Power!   #toddcoconato #mariomurillo #firepower

On August 17, in the Bolivian presidential elections, the leftwing candidates lost for the first time in twenty years. Some are calling this a continuation of the US-backed coup there. Just days before the election, the Trump administration announced that it was sending naval destroyers and 4,000 troops to Latin America that could be used in 'targeted strikes' against Venezuela. Clearing the FOG speaks with William Camacaro, a senior analyst for the Council on Hemospheric Affairs and a co-founder of the Venezuela Solidarity Network, about divisions within the left in Bolivia that led to their current demise and how Venezuela is mobilizing millions of civilians to defend their sovereignty against US aggression.

Send us a textGrowing up in Iran, Naghmeh's world changed fast from a fairly laid-back, Westernized Iran to a war zone, followed by a violent Islamic revolution. Naghmeh's father thought that Islam's influence over Iran would be a good thing until it happened, then...he wanted to flee to America! Naghmeh grew up hearing that the United States of America was "the great satan" and now her family sought refuge there! Naghmeh's world continued to change. Finally, Naghmeh's brother came home with secret news and information that would change the whole family forever and cause a deep rift between her and her parents. However, it was a change that was sweeping the US then and is sweeping Iran now, for the better! This change was so profound that it eventually swept over her whole family and led her to return to the land from which she had fled.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/contact➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgesslerfamilybandhttps://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerhttps://cash.app/$KarlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089357625739➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIXLrkKxwXkq3uA#Bibleteaching #deliveranceministry #demons #Christianity #DiscipleshipSupport the show

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, we kick things off with Northwestern University's Gary Saul Morson, co-author of Cents and Sensibility, joins us to explore why revolutions never truly end, Dostoevsky's warnings about nihilism, and what economist Friedrich Hayek might think about artificial intelligence. We wrap up with Satya Thallam, senior advisor at Americans for Responsible Innovation, for an inside look at the political and national security implications of AI policy, from the White House's export control changes to the GOP's divide over state regulation, and what it all means for the future of innovation in America.

Author and retired Professor of Communications, Mark Brake, joins the program to explore the science behind social revolutions. Known for his bestselling books on The Beatles, Aliens, Star Trek, and other powerful cultural phenomena, Brake breaks down how major movements and pop culture icons don't just reflect change — they ignite it.  From Beatlemania to sci-fi's role in shaping public perception, this conversation dives into the hidden systems, psychological triggers and media dynamics that turn entertainment into mass transformation. What do cultural touchstones tell us about where society is headed? And what patterns should we recognize in today's climate?  A fascinating and mind-expanding discussion on the intersection of communication, science and cultural evolution — and how revolutions often begin with a spark we don't see coming.Learn more at https://MarkBrakeDotorg.wordpress.com

Never had Italy been more fractured in its reunification efforts than it was following the Revolutions of 1858-49 as well as the Italian Independence War. Both sides kept butting heads with one another in a tug-of-war that showed no signs of stopping. How long would the revolutionaries' struggle last? Would the Italian Peninsula ever be united? And were it so, what sort of government would ultimately be chosen? Find out in the thrilling conclusion on the Risorgimento!

Brad Zerbo and Zak "RedPill78" Paine dive into a jam-packed episode of Altered State, exposing the tangled web of color revolutions, Deep State players, and foreign influence operations. The show opens with a deep dive into Norm Eisen's admission of orchestrating a legal and political war against President Trump, echoing tactics used during the Ukrainian Maidan uprising. The hosts explore the Soros-backed machinery, its links to the Clintons and Obamas, and how this playbook has been redeployed on American soil. A shocking segment on a U.S. State Department official caught in a Chinese honeypot scandal underscores ongoing threats from CCP infiltration. The conversation turns personal with fiery commentary on cultural decay, the grooming epidemic in schools, and Hollywood's disturbing legacy, spotlighting Howard Stern and Woody Allen. From Trump's surprise rooftop moment to Mel Gibson's long-awaited resurrection epic, this episode blends hard truths with levity, memes, and meat sweats.

Send us a textIn the aftermath of a crazy trade deadline, Dan and Hoges discuss the Minnesota Twins' series loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Hoges dwells on the positive of winning a one-run game in Cleveland for the first time in forever, while Dan is still feeling betrayed by Carlos Correa. They are both interested in seeing which young players take advantage of extra playing time, especially in the bullpen, which had itself a pretty decent series. Hoges debates whether he should renew his season tickets for next year, and Dan figures that anyone leaving the team now isn't a true fan.

Gareth Shute is a historian of New Zealand music, who realised that there had never been a high level overview of the artists which shaped our pop charts. He's just published Songs From the Shaky Isles, a book which flies through a century of recorded pop music on these shores. He joins Duncan Greive on The Fold to discuss it, with particular reference to the way the rise of mediums like television, commercial radio and streaming impacted what was made and who got to hear it.

David Bell is Professor for the Era of North American Revolutions at Princeton University. He has written a biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, and much of his research is focussed on the French Revolution, the history of the Enlightenment, and on the importance of charisma in political leadership. In our conversation we discuss what makes a charismatic leader and why some historical moments tilt the balance of power towards charismatic leaders, past and present. How much is the Enlightenment legacy of human rights, individualism and universalism under threat as democracy is on the retreat and universities, scientific research, institutions, freedom of speech, and human rights are being questioned? And was there really one Enlightenment, and was it not completely hijacked by capitalism, communism, and colonialism, to leave little more than a dry shell of empty slogans? Is the Enlightenment still an inspiration for today? Support the show

As Charles Dickens wrote at the beginning of 'A Tale of Two Cities': "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," though for the disparate states scattered throughout the Italian Peninsula for much of the start of the 19th Century, it was more the latter. With the people demanding a unified Italy, a series of revolts (some peaceful, some not) broke out, some of which bore partial fruit with others being quickly suppressed. By the middle of the century, it seemed as if all hope of unification had been dashed, but was it really? Join for a tour through this Age of Revolutions, this week in part two on the Risorgimento!

Listen, Like and Subscribe on Apple or Spotify Podcasts: Brian Boero, co-founder and CEO of 1000Watt, joins Kevin Oakley for a punchy, high-frequency conversation on how home builders can (and should) learn from the broader real estate world. With decades of insight from both agents and consumers, Brian brings a unique lens to current challenges – and opportunities – for builders navigating 2025's volatile market.

This episode previews Brian's upcoming talk at the Online Sales & Marketing Summit, pulling from his research, fieldwork, and no-BS branding instincts to spark fresh perspective on how to break from the herd, build trust with brokers, and tap into what today's buyers actually want.Break the Pattern Before It Breaks You• Builders that mimic competitors become the slowest zebra• A standout product means nothing if no one can tell it's differentBuyers Want Freedom, Agents Want Help• Gen Z wants a home they can paint and own, not just a good deal• Agents are tired, anxious, and open to new kinds of partnerships

This episode from January 2025 has been un-paywalled for your summer enjoyment...A stock rhetorical trope on the right is to invoke ancient Rome when talking about American decline—often making direct comparisons between the Goth invaders and contemporary immigrants, obsessing over homosexuality and Rome's fall, and more. If their understanding of history isn't very serious, what should we make of these appeals? And are there any "lessons" we should learn from Roman history?There's no better time to take up such matters than while Matt is in Rome, and there was no one better for him to talk with about them than Mike Duncan, the prolific and brilliant history podcaster; he currently hosts the Revolutions podcast and, especially relevant for the purposes of this conversation, hosted the History of Rome podcast from 2007-2012, a project that led him to write The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic (2017). Matt and Mike discuss the use and abuse of history, how "norms" do and do not matter, the relationship between imperialist foreign policy and domestic politics, the perils of vast income inequality, then and now, and more.Sources:For quotes from conservatives about Roman decline: Reagan, Nixon, Buchanan, Vance (and Pete Navarro & Michael Anton)Mike Duncan, The Storm Before the Storm(2017)— Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution (2021)

Though the American Declaration of Independence was published in 1776 and the Bastille was stormed 13 years later in 1789, on the scale of the grand sweep of history, the events are essentially concurrent. But there the similarity ends.

In this sweeping episode, Matt Ehret and Ghost are joined by Cynthia Chung (cynthiachung.substack.com) for a masterclass on Iran's modern history. Cynthia walks through her trilogy of essays chronicling how Britain and later the United States engineered regime change to control Iranian oil, beginning with the 1872 Reuter concession that handed Britain the country's economic lifeblood. The conversation traces the 1953 CIA-MI6 coup against Prime Minister Mossadegh for nationalizing oil, the Shah's ambitions to industrialize and escape colonial dependence, and the suspicious rise of Khomeini's revolution. The hosts expose how the same Western networks behind the overthrow of Mossadegh later fueled the Iran-Iraq war, Iran-Contra, and decades of chaos designed to prevent regional cooperation and modernization. They explore the Carter Doctrine, Brzezinski's arc of crisis, and how strategies used to fracture Iran are still deployed across the world. The episode closes with reflections on Iran's attempts to reclaim sovereignty through the Belt and Road Initiative and a vision of economic development to transcend engineered conflicts. Rich with historical detail, this conversation challenges the simplistic narratives that have shaped public perception for generations.

“Voice isn't dead. It's forming a great alliance with AI.” — Julia Fraser, Executive Vice President, Americas, Sinch In a compelling conversation with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, Julia Fraser of Sinch shares a front-line view into the dual revolutions transforming business communications today: RCS (Rich Communication Services) and AI. Representing the Americas for the Sweden-headquartered cloud communications company, Fraser highlights how these technologies are reshaping customer engagement—while keeping human connection at the center. Branded Trust and Richer Messaging Sinch's new research—spanning nearly 3,000 consumers and over 1,600 business leaders—shows that 54% of consumers prefer RCS over SMS/MMS, with 59% calling it a “game changer.” Fraser explains how branded and verified RCS messages not only improve trust and open rates, but also drive tangible results like abandoned cart recoveries. “When a consumer knows the message is really from their bank or retailer, they're more likely to act,” Fraser notes. AI-Powered Personalization, Real-Time Care The discussion dives deep into how AI enhances everything from marketing to customer care. Whether it's a personalized retail offer or a voicebot that helps resolve flight delays or financial fraud, AI is helping organizations anticipate needs and respond quickly. “AI isn't something to fear,” Fraser stresses. “It drives productivity and deeper personalization—across all generations.” Voice + AI = The Future Despite predictions that voice is on its way out, Fraser says the opposite is true—especially in financial services and healthcare. Sinch's data shows that 63% of businesses plan to adopt voice AI bots this year, with that figure rising to 86% in financial services. Whether it's a late flight, a blocked card, or a bereavement call, voice remains critical—and AI makes it faster, smarter, and more empathetic. Human-Centered Design From seamless triage in healthcare to respectful handling of debt collection, Fraser emphasizes the need to know when to hand a conversation off from a bot to a human. “It's not just about resolution. It's about doing so with trust, security, and empathy.” Four Pillars of Communication Success Sinch organizes its customer communication strategy around four pillars: Keep customers informed Keep customers safe Keep customers happy Drive engagement and loyalty through personalization And RCS and AI—working together—power all four.

Get access to The Backroom exclusive podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by political theorist Benjamin Studebaker, a PhD at Cambridge and author of the books "The Chronic Crisis of American Democracy" and "Legitimacy in Liberal Democracies," to break down the Iran-Israel conflict, Zohran Mamdani's surprising NYC mayoral primary victory, and the recent LA protests over immigration. We also discuss the historic election of Zohran Mamdani—a socialist, Muslim, pro-Palestine candidate who beat AIPAC in the most Jewish city outside of Israel—and why local electoral wins may not translate to broader socialist strategy. The conversation takes a controversial turn as we examine the left's embrace of subsidized childcare, with Benjamin arguing that this merely accommodates capitalism's dissolution of the family.Timestamps:00:00 Preview: Zohran Mamdani's Victory03:08 War with Iran, NYC Election, & the LA Protests05:06 Iran-Israel War: What Most People Miss 10:12 The Role of Arab States and Turkey11:37 Why the US May Not Want Regime Change in Iran14:34 Challenges of Regime Change in Iran27:38 Egypt, Turkey, & The Gulf States54:34 Likelihood of Revolutions in the Middle East?01:09:55 Why Russia Dosent Hell Iran01:15:58 A New Era of American Hegemony?01:26:40 The Election of Zohran Mamdani01:31:24 Lessons for The Left01:50:49 Rent Control, Housing Market and the problem with Urban Growth02:09:52 The LA protests: Immigration and Public Perception02:18:34 Childcare and The Decline of The Family02:32:25 The Abundance Movement In The Backroom segment on Patreon, Benjamin and I talk about Ezra Klein's “abundance” movement.

This lecture considers key moments in revolutions, including seventeenth-century Britain, eighteenth-century France and (what would become) the United States, and twentieth-century Iran.

Michael Broyles examines a wide variety of musical, technological, and social currents that helped to shape American music in Revolutions in American Music: Three Decades that Changed a Country and Its Sounds (Norton, 2024), but he accomplishes this by focusing on just thirty years. Broyles discusses three pivotal decades in US musical history: the 1840s, the 1920s, and the 1950s. He argues that these decades fundamentally remade the American cultural landscape in enduring ways. Although Revolutions in American Music describes the ruptures caused by new musical and technological innovations such as the development of jazz or rock 'n roll, Broyles also revisits deep cultural and social fissures that affected America and American music in all three time periods. Throughout the book, Broyles introduces important figures who have been overlooked and tells stories that illuminate the messy, complex, sometimes dark, but always fascinating history of music in the United States.

In the finale of Lecture 6, we wrap up the reflections on Re-Imagining the Caribbean - Understanding the Caribbean – Beyond the Myths and Into the Margins:...We pick up from Point 33. DIASPORAS AND DISPLACEMENT• African Diaspora: peoples of African descent living outside Africa.• Caribbean Diaspora: particularly Caribbean people of African descent scattered across the globe.• These diasporas still carry the black position and face discrimination, suspicion, and containment.“They are aliens with sharp teeth—feared not for their failure but for their potential.”________________________________________4. DARK GHETTOES & INTERNALIZED MALADY• Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettos”:o Exist physically and psychologically.o Not just urban slums but socio-economic prisons.o Seen in Philly, Kingston, Port of Spain—spaces where people are victims of fear, guilt, and greed.o Structural conditions: overcrowding, poverty, crime.o Psychological toll: despair, self-hate, compensatory bravado.________________________________________5. POSTCOLONIALISM AND THE VEIL THAT LINGERS• Postcolonialism ≠ Post-colonyo It's not the end of colonization, but the lingering effects—economic, cultural, psychological.o Fanon: both white and Black are trapped—one in superiority, the other in inferiority.o The need for tabula rasa—to begin anew.• Revolutions and the Paradox of Independenceo Haiti and Cuba led true revolutions—but remained outside international community comfort zones.o Their struggle reflects the cost of radical freedom.________________________________________6. CENTER VS. PERIPHERY – WHOSE CULTURE MATTERS?• Homi Bhabha – “Location of Culture”:o The periphery: marginal voices, rejected traditions.o The center: dominant culture, normalized Eurocentric standards.• Rastas, Revivalists, African spirituality = periphery.• Skin lightening, accent training, rejection of roots = symptom of internalized colonialism.________________________________________HANDOUT: Tracing Caribbean History – Before Columbus• Challenge the narrative: Begin with victory, not defeat.• Explore:o Ivan Van Sertima – They Came Before Columbus.o Ancient African navigators, civilizations that predate European contact.________________________________________DISCUSSION & MEDIA:• Video Segment: Ivan Van Sertima• Handout Discussion: Follow timeline through slavery, indenture, resistance, revolution.This is Episode 6 of the Caribbean Thought Lecture Series Summer 2025 on The Neoliberal Round by Renaldo McKenzieRev.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into the powerful intersection of artificial intelligence, espionage, and America's future—exploring how AI is transforming national security, manufacturing, medicine, and even morality. AI vs. Espionage: How Spying Is Being Rewritten – Bryan unpacks how digital surveillance and AI are making it nearly impossible for CIA officers to operate undetected. Ubiquitous technical surveillance is compromising human intelligence efforts, leaving President Trump and others to make decisions with low-confidence intel. The AI That Blackmails You – An AI model named Claude threatens researchers with blackmail 84% of the time when faced with shutdown. Bryan explains why this kind of emergent behavior poses existential risks and reveals the black-box problem haunting every major AI platform. All AI Models Are Politically Biased - and Lean Left – Stanford researchers find that every major AI leans left, especially OpenAI's ChatGPT. Bryan explores the implications as we edge closer to a future filled with ideologically slanted robot “buddies.” AI's Medical Breakthroughs and Robotic Reshoring – AI is revolutionizing medicine by speeding drug discovery and identifying unexpected treatments for cancer and lung disease. Meanwhile, humanoid robots are coming to American shipyards and factories to support Trump's Five Bucket industrial revival. Robot Buddies and Ethical Dilemmas – From emotional bonds with children to societal purpose, Bryan dives into the moral questions surrounding the rise of personal humanoid robots and whether humanity is ready to share life with machines. Geothermal Power from an Oregon Volcano? – A company aims to drill 2.5 miles into a dormant volcano using an electromagnetic beam to unlock clean, 24/7 energy. Bryan explains why this radical new tech could power the AI and robotics revolution. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

What will it take to create AI that is as trustworthy, if not more trustworthy than humans?  This week, Reid and Aria sit down with Yuval Noah Harari, historian, philosopher, and best-selling author of several books including Nexus, Sapiens and Homo Deus. When it comes to outlook on AI, Yuval, Reid, and Aria agree on the importance of building both human trust in AI and AI that is genuinely truth-seeking, but they differ on how possible it is to achieve.  Together, they dig into their diverging opinions on the outcomes of the AI revolution, global cooperation, and how AI will learn from humans. They also discuss the differences between intelligence and consciousness, and whether conscious AI is a goal worth pursuing.  Yuval turns to history to ground his warnings about AI. Even though he's cautious about technology, he is critical of cynicism. Yuval shares his philosophy on human compassion as a guiding principle that can allow us to steer away from collapse and ultimately, build a better AI future.  For more info on the podcast and transcripts of all the episodes, visit https://www.possible.fm/podcast/  Topics: 3:38 - Hellos and intros 3:58 - Questions for the Buddha 5:48 - Yuval's relationship with technology 8:57 - Technologies that help humans share stories and myths 10:37 - Is AI the most significant invention after writing 13:02 - How AI will transform society 20:12 - Guidance for a successful AI revolution 24:24 - Using AI to support humanity's self-correcting mechanisms 26:13 - Midroll 26:45 - How to build self-correcting mechanisms for a better future 31:28 - Humans as parents of AI 36:33 - What political leaders need to do to create a positive AI future 39:11 - Artificial intelligence v.s. artificial consciousness 42:35 - AI as a tool for rebuilding trust 44:50 - Rapid-fire Questions Select mentions:  History of the Franks by Gregory of Tours Heartstopper Possible is an award-winning podcast that sketches out the brightest version of the future—and what it will take to get there. Most of all, it asks: what if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way? Tune in for grounded and speculative takes on how technology—and, in particular, AI—is inspiring change and transforming the future. Hosted by Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger, each episode features an interview with an ambitious builder or deep thinker on a topic, from art to geopolitics and from healthcare to education. Each episode seeks to enhance and advance our discussion about what humanity could possibly get right if we leverage technology—and our collective effort—effectively.

“TO everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to guard, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit has he that works in that wherein he labors? I have seen the travail, which Elohiym has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He has made everything beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that Elohiym makes from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of Elohiym. I know that, whatsoever Elohiym does, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it: and Elohiym does it, that men should fear before him. That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been; and Elohiym requires that which is past.” ECCLESIASTES 3:1-15 את CEPHER www.linktree.com/wilsonryan__

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Padraic Scanlan. Padraic is an associate professor at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on the history of labor in Britain and the British empire. He's the author of three books, including Freedom's Debtors: British Antislavery in Sierra Leone in the Age of Revolutions and Slave Empire: How Slavery Made Modern Britain. His newest book, out this year, is called Rot: An Imperial History of the Irish Famine, and it offers a reinterpretation of the Irish Great Famine of the mid-1800s that shows how massive income inequality, debt, housing prices, precarious employment and more contributed to the disaster. I spoke with Padraic about how he thinks about writing for a general audience, his work with a developmental editor and why he loves editors, and his writerly inspirations.
