Matt Ehret and Ghost take listeners on a global tour of intrigue, from the fallout of Charlie Kirk's assassination to the shifting alliances shaping the Middle East and Eurasia. They break down Trump's fiery UN speech, the odd “malfunctions” that marred it, and his high-stakes meetings with Arab leaders and Erdogan. The discussion moves into Israel's maneuvers in Syria, the looming specter of a land war with Iran, and the deeper game being played with NATO and Turkey. From Kazakhstan's record-breaking $4 billion rail deal with the U.S. to China and Russia's nuclear and infrastructure partnerships, the hosts trace how railroads, energy, and geopolitics are fusing into a new map of power. Along the way, they expose the dangers of transhumanist ideology, AI “saints,” and psychological operations designed to warp faith and culture. This episode ties together history, current events, and the battle for the future in the style only Breaking History delivers.

Why protecting even offensive words is the only way to prevent violenceBy Chris Abraham for SubstackEvery generation rediscovers an old lesson the hard way: words are not bullets, but if you confuse them long enough, bullets eventually appear.Lately I've been struck by how quickly our civic conversations move from irritation to punishment. A clumsy remark or ugly slogan goes viral; the mob mobilizes; firings and cancellations follow. It's tempting to say “well, that's accountability,” but the speed and severity of these reactions tell a different story. What we are really doing is rehearsing a very old drama: escalation without a ceiling.Think about Sarajevo, 1914. A teenager named Gavrilo Princip fires a pistol at Archduke Franz Ferdinand. One act of political violence sets off treaties, obligations, and mobilizations. Within weeks, a continent is on fire. The war that followed didn't solve the problem — the punitive Treaty of Versailles created conditions for something even worse. What began as one shot became decades of blood.In our own time, the weapons are reputations, jobs, and platforms. The principle is the same. A careless post spirals into professional ruin. A mob decision substitutes for law. The difference between a town that argues and a town that shoots isn't etiquette — it's survival. Civilized societies invest in procedures: courts, ballots, deliberation. Mobs invest in immediacy. And immediacy always tempts violence.I am not blind to the harm of speech. Racist, vile, or threatening words sting. But the constitutional line exists for a reason. U.S. law is clear: speech only loses protection if it incites imminent lawless action. Everything else, however ugly, is permitted. That boundary protects not just bigots but everyone who dissents from the reigning consensus. Without it, majorities punish minorities on impulse.Cancel culture, whatever name you prefer, is efficient at punishment but poor at persuasion. It does not change minds; it exiles people. It does not reduce resentment; it deepens it. Every mob firing creates martyrs. Every public shaming fertilizes resentment. And resentment, history shows, is a renewable fuel for conflict.Even in theology, escalation is a central theme. The Gospel's “go, and sin no more” joins mercy with responsibility. Mercy without limits collapses into indulgence. Punishment without procedure collapses into vengeance. Both errors invite cycles that consume communities.Revolutions prove this. Marx promised liberation through rupture. Mao promised purification through violence. Che romanticized guerrilla struggle. What followed was not paradise but repression breeding new radicals, one cycle after another. The dueling codes of earlier centuries made the same point: treat words as violence, and violence answers back.We flatter ourselves that the modern age is different because our weapons are digital. But doxxing, mass reporting, and professional exile are simply new swords. The old instinct is unchanged.There is also a dangerous illusion that pauses equal peace. Versailles looked like peace; it was only a ceasefire. Contemporary ceasefires often work the same way: an interval to rearm. Punishment without reconciliation buys time, not resolution.So what should we do? Protect the square. Keep the civic forum open even to speech you despise. Reserve punishments for true threats, not for dissent. Train institutions to resist the adrenaline of the mob. Encourage citizens to answer ugliness with argument, not annihilation.This isn't naivety. It's strategy. If you want fewer bullets, you must tolerate more words. Ugly words, even dangerous-sounding words, are less corrosive than the torches we light to silence them.History has already taught us what happens when we confuse offense with violence and treat every slight as existential. Once the crowd is chanting and the torches are lit, the path back down the ladder is hard to find.
How history, law, and theology warn us against turning words into weaponsBy Chris Abraham for SubstackSome mornings I surprise myself. I wake with the smell of coffee in the apartment, the building still quiet, and realize I've become a proselytizer for an old story. Not long ago, I argued about anchor text or attribution models. Now, I listen to daily Gospel readings on Hallow, sit with Jeff Cavins' reflections, and quote John and Luke in comment threads. Nobody in my circle would have bet on this turn. Yet here I am, defending something I once mocked: the right of even ugly speech to exist without being carted off by the mob.The spark for this essay was a viral clip: a student casually saying, “we should bring back political assassinations.” The internet responded as it always does—doxxing, firings, denunciations, and calls for permanent punishment. A remark became a hunt; the hunt became a storm. What we're rediscovering is that escalation has no natural ceiling.History offers the bluntest illustration. A single pistol in Sarajevo set in motion alliances and mobilizations in 1914. Gavrilo Princip's assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand didn't just trigger World War I—it created conditions that made World War II almost inevitable. Versailles punished, humiliated, and planted the seeds for something worse. The pattern is clear: brittle systems plus retributive logic equals long violence.We are running a similar ladder in civic life. A tweet becomes a pile-on; a pile-on becomes a firing; firings become professional exile. The law distinguishes incitement from expression, but private power—employers, platforms, angry publics—enforces with brutal efficiency. Make someone unemployable and many will cheer.I defend the toleration of ugly speech not because I like ugliness, but because civilization is the art of channeling impulses into procedures. The difference between courts and mobs, between ballots and torches, is not taste. It is survival. A messy forum beats clean annihilation.That's why I find myself defending a man—call him a public conservative—whose rhetoric makes even me squirm. Friends call him a paid agitator. But he did something useful: he forced people to decide what they believed about sin and responsibility. The gospels say: “Go, and sin no more.” In today's civic grammar, calling sin “sin” lands like an unforgivable insult.Listening to the liturgy daily doesn't make me devout; it makes me exacting. Mercy without responsibility collapses into indulgence. And politics without procedure collapses into violence. Whether it's migrants, surges, or social panics, escalation follows predictable dynamics: fear, backlash, and harder law.Revolutions show the same pattern. Marx, Mao, and Che all preached rupture. History showed feedback loops: repression breeds resentment, resentment breeds new radicalism. Quick purges promise a better world but usually deliver cycles of blood. The duel and the frontier brawl remind us: humans answer offense with violence. Today's equivalents are doxxing, canceling, and algorithmic ruin. Different weapons, same code.The temptation is to believe pauses create peace. Versailles was a pause. Interwar years were a pause. Ceasefires often function as rearming intervals. Punishment without reconciliation is not resolution—it is staging ground for the next round.That's why my call is simple: protect the square. Let ugly arguments happen in public, and resolve them through law, not purges. Reserve punishment for credible threats, not unpopular speech. Teach platforms and employers to resist mob fury. Absorb offense without turning it into capital. History warns us: moral cleansing campaigns can harden into decades of conflict.Maybe that's why I can listen to the Gospel in the morning and still defend free speech at night. Ugly words are less dangerous than the torches we light to silence them. Once the torches are lit, the stairs back down are hard to find.
Inte mycket har hänt kring backuptekniken de senaste åren. Visst, vi har gått från backuptape till snabba SSD-diskar. Men egentligen inget som revolutionerat tekniken! Men de system som backup ska skydda då? Jo de har ju förändrats åtskilligt genom åren. Är det inte dags för backupen att moderniseras och göras på ett nytt sätt? Jo, och det är i år det händer! I alla fall om man får fråga "backupnörden" Christian Petersson. Christian startade företaget IssTech med målsättningen att göra göra en backup som fungerar i vår snabba uppkopplade, agila, utvecklande värld. I dagens avsnitt tar Erik Zalitis och Mattias Jadesköld pulsen på den senaste typen av backup-teknik. Hur ska man tänka strategiskt? Hur ska man kunna skydda mobila system och kunna säkra allt arbete som kreativa utvecklare tar sig för? Och vilken roll har backup som skydd mot en modern, sofistikerad cyberattack?

I was traveling this week, so today is mostly sharing a podcast with Pedro Lopez, who created the remarkable series Gloria on Netflix. Regarding investments, I want to share a brief follow-up on last week's post about the impact of AI on labor. A fun fact: there are over 6 million jobs in the US tied to driving a vehicle of some sort, making up 5% of the workforce. While regulations and unions discourage this, many of these jobs could be replaced today by a computer, which would be both safer and cheaper. The consensus is that AI will only slowly impact the labor force. I suspect this is wrong and it will only become obvious after it has happened. A possible straw in the wind is that youth unemployment is higher in the US and China, the two countries at the forefront of AI application. I show both charts below.Source: Haver.I know anecdotally from college-age kids and their parents that it is hard to find work. This is certainly true in the US, Canada, and China. AI is particularly good at entry-level work. This is less evident in Europe, and it stands to reason that Europe's labor laws might make it harder to gut the IT department, creating a delayed effect and staving off the inevitable. Regarding the podcast, in addition to AI, we are living through a period of media creative destruction. The internet gave birth to Netflix and signaled the decline of the major television networks and film studios. Pedro created a story about another media revolution—Radio Free Europe in Portugal in 1968. The story takes place during the height of the Cold War and Portugal's own dictatorship and is full of fascinating contradictions. When I grew up in the 1970s, the odds of me consuming Pedro's art were close to zero. Now I don't know what airs on television but pass along good Netflix shows like precious currency in a new bazar.

PODCAST: On this episode of the WGNS Action Line, host Scott Walker welcomed Laura Holder, federal liaison for the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area at MTSU’s
“Why War And Revolutions Fail” argues that violence and evil stem from a sense of entitlement which leads to a desire or willingness to take what belongs to others, and that true change cannot be achieved by adopting the methods of the left nor simply by taking up a defensive stance. Conservatives need to shift away from the idea that violence is a solution. We call on Christians and conservatives to reject answers provided by the state, and create systems that honour work, respect ownership, and separate themselves from these structures and agencies that perpetuate conflict and inequality. Christins need to come together to seek a more just and peaceful society than can be given by either the state or the left.

In this episode of Democracy and Culture, we speak with Dan Edelstein, William H. Bonsall Professor of French at StanfordUniversity, about his new book The Revolution to Come: A History of an Idea from Stasis to Lenin (Princeton University Press, 2025). His academic investigations range across literary studies, historiography, political thought and digital humanities. Throughout our conversation, we focuson providing a new understanding of the concept of revolution. In his latest book, by tracing the conceptual distinction between stasis and metabolē through Roman, medieval, and Renaissance thought, he recovers the overlooked role of Polybius in shaping the constitutional imagination of early modern Europe. In our podcast, Edelstein explains how the perception of revolution shifted from a destabilizing event to a future-oriented project tied to Enlightenment ideas of historical progress. As well, another point of discussion is howpolitical actors re-interpreted revolutions through inherited “scripts”. The podcast also focuses on the recurring modern pattern in which revolutions consolidate around a single leader. By situating revolutions in a longue durée conceptual history, Edelstein challenges us to see them not as sudden breaks, but as episodes in an evolving, centuries-long dialogue between inherited political imaginaries and the real events.Edelstein's recovery of ancient and early modern frameworks enriches our understanding of modern revolutions. Particularly the “script” metaphor is a compelling tool for explaining why upheavals often replay familiar patterns.Yet this focus on elite textual traditions risks overlooking the revolutionary imaginaries of actors outside the Greco-Roman canon, from peasants to colonized peoples, whose visions of change may refer to different temporalities and symbolic repertoires. At the same time, the podcast is a fresh proposal for scholars and historians to rethink longue durée (dis)continuities of revolutions.
Lafayette's persistent efforts to save the French monarchy end in failure when Louis XVI is overthrown once and for all in August 1792. With his avowed enemies, the Jacobins, now in power and accusing him of betraying the revolution, the general is faced with the most difficult decision of his life.

Au coeur des imaginaires fin de siècle, les artistes Symbolistes ont tenté de répondre au désenchantement de l'ère des révolutions et de l'industrie. Le progrès n'a pas honoré ses promesses, le sens se dérobe dans ce 19e siècle finissant. En France et en Belgique, les Symbolistes partent dans une quête spirituelle, une vision transfigurée du réel. Bruxelles et la Belgique sont alors au carrefour de toutes les influences du Symbolisme: littérature, poésie, musique... Et c'est à Bruxelles qu'il lui est rendu hommage, à la Maison Hannon, le temps d'une exposition : Echoes of Dreams Sujets traités : Symbolistes, symbole, Belgique, échos, révolutions, industrie Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Episode 318 An ancient organism has been discovered that has been alive for at least 100,000 years. Found in the Siberian permafrost, this lifeform doesn't appear to have just remained dormant - but instead has actually been growing extremely slowly. Our understanding of life is already quite fuzzy, and this finding adds to the idea that life itself is a fuzzy state of being. A breakthrough method of treating previously untreatable chronic pain is showing promise. An intuitive form of deep brain stimulation, guided by machine learning, has provided targeted relief to patients in a small trial. The method also improved various other conditions and may even help with weight loss. Find out how it works. Throughout history, dramatic changes in the climate often coincide with major revolutions and rebellions. Rapid warming or cooling often have a cascading effect on food production, leading to shortages and rising prices. As the effect of climate change increase today, will we see a repeat of history? Chapters: (00:00) Intro (00:22) 100,000-year-old organism (10:37) Brain implant treats chronic pain (18:02) How climate change leads to revolutions Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet, with guests Alexandra Thompson, James Dinneen and Karen Lloyd.

Two Revolutions are Combining to Destroy America • Fire Power! #toddcoconato #mariomurillo #firepower
Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
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.

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.

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!

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)
