Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo Spaces en directo desde Twitter. Esta será una entradilla corta para hablar sobre los orígenes del poder de la familia Kennedy, para ello voy a utilizar un artículo de la web vigilant citizen,ciudadano vigilante, una especie de técnico preocupado pero de USA. Dice así: “Los Kennedy fueron considerados, en su momento, la Familia Real de Estados Unidos: una poderosa dinastía que además era querida y admirada por el público. Sin embargo, la asombrosa "Maldición Kennedy" impactó profundamente a la familia, ya que numerosos miembros perdieron la vida a temprana edad y en extrañas circunstancias. Esta serie de artículos revelará datos menos conocidos sobre los Kennedy y explicará cómo el destino de la familia se relaciona con el gobierno en la sombra que gobierna Estados Unidos. Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr. fue quien orquestó el ascenso de la familia al poder. Fue una figura destacada del Partido Demócrata y de la comunidad católica irlandesa de Estados Unidos. También fue un exitoso hombre de negocios, pues amasó una fortuna comprando y fusionando varios estudios cinematográficos de Hollywood e importando y distribuyendo bebidas alcohólicas en Estados Unidos después de la Ley Seca. Durante su carrera política, Kennedy se convirtió en un asesor cercano del presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt y fue nombrado presidente inaugural de la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de Estados Unidos (SEC). En 1938, fue nombrado embajador de Estados Unidos en el Reino Unido, un prestigioso cargo donde estableció vínculos con la nobleza británica y presenció los inicios de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Trató con personas pertenecientes a los "linajes Illuminati" (según la definición de Fritz Springmeier), como los Rothschild, los Astor y los Sassoon. Mantuvo una estrecha relación con el magnate periodístico y figura destacada de los Illuminati, William Randolph Hearst, quien posteriormente contribuyó al despegue de la carrera de JFK. Durante la carrera política de Kennedy Sr., asesoró a Roosevelt, masón de grado 33 y primer Gran Maestro Honorario de la Orden de DeMolay. Roosevelt, quien también fue asesorado por los notables ocultistas Manly P. Hall y Nicholas Roerich, ordenó la colocación del Sello de los Estados Unidos (el símbolo Illuminati de la pirámide con el ojo que todo lo ve) en el billete de dólar. Joe Kennedy Sr. también formó parte de varias órdenes de élite, como los Caballeros de Malta y la Sociedad de Peregrinos, un grupo altamente secreto que incluía entre sus miembros a los Rockefeller, los Vanderbilt, JP Morgan, miembros de la realeza británica, varios líderes de la Sociedad Skull and Bones, masones, Caballeros Templarios y presidentes de la Reserva Federal, así como ejecutivos de importantes empresas y medios de comunicación. De hecho, la Sociedad de Peregrinos es probablemente el grupo de élite más influyente que existe. En 1944, Kathleen, hija de Joe Kennedy, se casó con William Cavendish, duque de Devonshire (un cargo muy prestigioso dentro de la nobleza británica). El duque de Devonshire era Gran Maestro de la Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra, el órgano rector de la mayoría de los masones en Inglaterra, Gales, Estados Unidos y la Commonwealth. Tras el fallecimiento prematuro de su hija, Joseph Kennedy declaró: Si Kathleen y su esposo vivieran, yo sería el padre de la duquesa de Devonshire (primera dama de compañía de la reina) y el suegro del líder de todos los masones del mundo. Por lo tanto, Joseph Kennedy estaba muy bien conectado con la élite oculta y los linajes Illuminati de Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña. Si bien albergaba la esperanza de convertirse en candidato presidencial, su oportunidad se cerró cuando, ante la amenaza de una invasión nazi, declaró que «la democracia en Gran Bretaña ha terminado», añadiendo que «la batalla por Gran Bretaña no se trata de democracia, eso son puras tonterías». A puerta cerrada, Kennedy también fue descubierto simpatizando con Hitler y el movimiento nazi. También se le citó profiriendo diversas declaraciones antisemitas en conversaciones con los Astor. Consciente de que la indignación que causaba le impediría llegar a la presidencia, Kennedy padre actuó entre bastidores y se concentró en «colocar» a sus hijos en puestos de poder. Tenía la riqueza y, aún más importante, los contactos con la élite necesarios para que sus planes se hicieran realidad.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nacido el 17 de enero de 1954 en Washington D.C., es un abogado, activista ambiental y figura pública estadounidense, y su reciente papel como Secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS) desde febrero de 2025, lo que ha generado controversia, especialmente por sus políticas sobre vacunas. Conocido por ser parte de la influyente familia Kennedy. Hijo de Robert F. Kennedy, exfiscal general y senador, y sobrino del presidente John F. Kennedy, ha forjado su propio camino, centrándose principalmente en el activismo ambiental y, más recientemente, en posturas controvertidas sobre la salud pública. Como presidente de la Waterkeeper Alliance (Alianza para la protección del agua), una organización dedicada a la protección de los recursos hídricos, Kennedy ha liderado esfuerzos para combatir la contaminación y promover esa palabreja tan manida por los de la agenda 2030, la sostenibilidad, ganándose reconocimiento por su trabajo en defensa del medio ambiente. Su trayectoria como abogado ambientalista incluye casos destacados contra grandes corporaciones por daños ecológicos, aunque si rascamos un poco vemos que la asociación Riverkeeper, la organización fundadora del movimiento fue la que logro la recuperación del rio Hudson por mas de mil millones de dólares. Ambas organizaciones fueron pioneras en reclamar la "restauración" de los ríos, un eufemismo que en realidad significa la destrucción de presas y otras infraestructuras hidráulicas y energéticas. Modelo que se ha replicado en todo el mundo golpeando especialmente a España. Los otros litigios han sido muy mediáticos pero en realidad hablamos de poco dinero y poca afectación para las multinacionales que contaminan el planeta de verdad. Kennedy comenzó su carrera profesional como asistente de distrito en Manhattan y, en la década de 1980, se unió a organizaciones como Riverkeeper y el Consejo de Defensa de Recursos Naturales (NRDC), enfocándose en la protección ambiental. En 1986, se convirtió en profesor adjunto de derecho ambiental en la Universidad Pace y, en 1987, fundó la Clínica de Litigios Ambientales de Pace. En 1999, fundó Waterkeeper Alliance, de la cual fue presidente durante 21 años, liderando esfuerzos globales para proteger los recursos hídricos. Su trabajo incluyó demandas exitosas contra municipios y corporaciones por violaciones de la Ley del Agua Limpia, consolidándolo como una voz prominente en la defensa del medio ambiente. Recibió reconocimientos como "Héroe del Planeta" de la revista TIME y el Premio Sartisky a la Paz, reflejando su impacto en este ámbito. Nosotros sabemos que Roma no premia a traidores, ergo, el no ha traicionado a Roma. Su carrera inicial se centró en la conservación de ecosistemas y la lucha contra la contaminación, especialmente en el impacto de estas en la salud humana. En 2014, co-fundó Children's Health Defense, una organización dedicada a abordar el aumento de condiciones crónicas infantiles, como el autismo, lo que marcó su transición hacia temas de salud pública. Children’s Health Defense (CHD), fundada por Robert F. Kennedy Jr., mantiene una postura crítica hacia la vacuna triple vírica (MMR, contra sarampión, paperas y rubéola), centrada en cuestionar su seguridad, eficacia y obligatoriedad. Esta afirmación se basa en el estudio de Andrew Wakefield de 1998, que relacionaba la MMR con el autismo. Dicho estudio fue retractado por supuestos fraudes científicos aunque si investigamos veremos que se trata de una argucia legal. A través de su sitio web, redes sociales y documentales como Vaxxed (coproducido por CHD), la organización difunde mensajes que cuestionan la MMR, alegando que los riesgos no se divulgan adecuadamente. Esta organización y sus posturas han sido criticadas por promover teorías conspirativas, como la idea de que la enfermedad de Lyme es un arma biológica, una afirmación que revivió en una audiencia del Senado el 5 de febrero de 2025. En los últimos años, Kennedy se ha posicionado como un crítico vocal de las políticas de vacunación, cuestionando el consenso científico y promoviendo escepticismo hacia las vacunas. Esto ha generado una polarización significativa, con seguidores que ven en él un defensor de la libertad individual y críticos que lo acusan de difundir desinformación. Sus libros, como “Timerosal: Que hable la ciencia” (2014), reflejan su enfoque en los supuestos riesgos de los conservantes en vacunas. Kennedy es un charlatán que solo está redefiniendo el negocio de los laboratorios mientras engaña, esperanza e ilusiona a los ingenuos. En unas recientes declaraciones dijo sobre las vacunas covid que “no superan los beneficios supuestos”, además de mencionar la “falta de datos de alta calidad que demuestren la seguridad de las vacunas de ARNm durante el embarazo” y la incertidumbre en cuanto a los beneficios para las madres gestantes y sus bebés”. Pero como podemos ver en la web del CDC, Notas del calendario de vacunación infantil, se sigue vacunando a bebes a partir de los 6 meses contra una enfermedad imaginaria como es el covid, con vacunas que se ha visto que presentan muchas reacciones adversas. Independientemente de las palabras de Kennedy al final las mujeres embarazadas son "personas de riesgo" para el CDC y por tanto se las recomienda vacunarse del covid. La administración bajo el mandato de Kennedy ha dicho que «todas las nuevas vacunas se someterán a pruebas de seguridad en ensayos controlados con placebo antes de su autorización», sin embargo la FDA acaba de aprobar una nueva inyección de Moderna sin un solo ensayo controlado con placebo. Los estudios con placebo empezarían a finales de este año y concluirían en 2027, pero la vacuna mNexspike de baja dosis ya esta en el mercado para personas de 65 años o mas o entre los 12 y 64 con al menos uno o más factores de riesgo subyacentes. Es más, Kennedy está permitiendo que siga la investigación para encontrar vacunas a la carta. Al respecto dijo: ”Un impulso para sustituir las vacunas de talla única por vacunas genéticamente personalizadas que sean seguras y eficaces para todos”. Leemos en una nota de prensa del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS) del pasado 1 de mayo lo siguiente: “Washington, D.C. - Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS) y los Institutos Nacionales de Salud (NIH) anunciaron hoy el desarrollo de la plataforma de vacunas universales de próxima generación, Generation Gold Standard, utilizando una plataforma de beta-propioctona (BPL) activada por todovirus. Esta iniciativa representa un cambio decisivo hacia la transparencia, la eficacia y la preparación integral, financiando el desarrollo interno de vacunas universales contra la gripe y el coronavirus de los NIH, incluidos los candidatos BPL-1357 y BPL-24910. Estas vacunas tienen como objetivo proporcionar una protección de amplio espectro contra múltiples cepas de virus propensos a pandemias como la gripe aviar H5N1 y los coronavirus como SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, y MERS-CoV. Nuestro compromiso es claro: toda innovación en el desarrollo de vacunas debe basarse en la ciencia y la transparencia del patrón oro, y sometida a los más altos estándares de pruebas de seguridad y eficacia, dijo el secretario del HHS, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.” Nos están hablando no solo del covid, si no de la gripe aviar y el virus MERS… En abril de 2024, Kennedy lanzó una campaña para la nominación presidencial del Partido Demócrata, pero en octubre de ese año anunció que correría como independiente, rompiendo con el partido al que su familia ha estado históricamente vinculada. Su campaña se centró en temas como la libertad individual, la transparencia gubernamental y la reforma del sistema de salud, pero enfrentó desafíos en términos de apoyo y cobertura mediática. El 23 de agosto de 2024, suspendió su campaña y respaldó a Donald Trump en un mitin en Arizona, con la intención de mantener su presencia en la boleta en estados no competitivos. Este movimiento fue visto como una estrategia para influir en la política nacional, especialmente en temas de salud. El 14 de noviembre de 2024, Donald Trump lo nominó para el cargo de Secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS), un puesto que asumió el 13 de febrero de 2025, tras una confirmación ajustada en el Senado con un voto de 52 a 48, donde Mitch McConnell fue el único republicano en votar en contra. Este nombramiento marcó un hito, ya que Kennedy se convirtió en el primer candidato presidencial independiente en ocupar un puesto de gabinete después de postularse para la presidencia. Su confirmación enfrentó oposición, con más de 17,000 médicos firmando una carta en enero de 2025 instando al Senado a rechazar su nominación, reflejando las preocupaciones sobre sus posturas en salud pública. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., al asumir el cargo de secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS), poseía una cartera de inversión considerable que incluía acciones en empresas que, en teoría, debería regular en su rol. Según una carta de información presentada el 21 de enero de 2025, a pocos días de asumir su cargo, ante la Oficina de Ética Gubernamental de Estados Unidos, RFK Jr. se comprometió a desinvertir en varias compañías, incluidas las biotecnológicas CRISPR Therapeutics y Dragonfly Therapeutics, en un plazo de 90 días si era confirmado para el puesto. El invertía en empresas de terapias genéticas tales como CRISPR Therapeutics y Dragonfly mientras advertía de los riesgos de esas mismas terapias a través de su Fundación Children's Health Defens, en lo que consideramos una acción hipócrita. Un documento separado detalla un extenso listado de relaciones económicas, que incluye inversiones en empresas destacadas como Amazon, Apple, Vanguard, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Rockefeller Access Fund, Disney, Warner Bros, entre otras, evidenciando la magnitud de su portafolio. Desde su toma de posesión, Kennedy ha implementado una serie de políticas controvertidas. El 13 de febrero de 2025, firmó la Orden Ejecutiva 14211, creando la Comisión "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA), que preside, con el objetivo de investigar las enfermedades crónicas infantiles y evaluar las amenazas de los medicamentos con receta. El 22 de mayo de 2025, lanzó el informe MAHA, que posteriormente fue criticado por contener citas a estudios inexistentes, con la Casa Blanca atribuyendo los errores a problemas de formato. El 29 de mayo de 2025, se informó que su equipo agregó nuevos errores al informe, empeorando la situación. Otras acciones incluyen el despido de aproximadamente 5,200 trabajadores federales de salud recién contratados de agencias como los CDC y el NIH el 14 de febrero de 2025, y la eliminación de la mayoría del personal del Instituto Nacional para la Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional en abril de 2025, cancelando programas como las aprobaciones de equipos de seguridad para el lugar de trabajo y la investigación sobre la salud de los bomberos. El 9 de junio de 2025, removió a los 17 miembros del Comité Asesor sobre Prácticas de Inmunización (ACIP) de los CDC y los reemplazó con nuevos miembros, una decisión que generó críticas por potenciales conflictos de interés. El 20 de febrero de 2025, instruyó a los CDC a suspender las campañas publicitarias de vacunación contra la gripe durante una temporada de influenza severa, enfocándose en el "consentimiento informado". Durante un brote de sarampión en el suroeste de los Estados Unidos en 2025, que reportó 146 casos, 20 hospitalizaciones y 1 muerte en Texas a finales de febrero, Kennedy hizo comentarios públicos el 26 de febrero de 2025, afirmando falsamente que hubo dos muertes y cuatro brotes ese año (16 en 2024), y sugirió que la cuarentena fue la principal razón de las hospitalizaciones, lo cual fue refutado. Promovió tratamientos marginales como el aceite de hígado de bacalao y la vitamina A, y escribió un artículo de opinión en Fox News el 2 de marzo de 2025, calificando a las vacunas de "elección personal" y recomendando vitaminas, lo que llevó a informes de toxicidad por vitamina A en niños infectados. El 28 de marzo de 2025, enfrentó más críticas por promover tratamientos no convencionales, como vitaminas, lo que generó alarma entre los profesionales de la salud. El 25 de marzo de 2025, su desinformación llevó a la renuncia del principal encargado de la comunicación de salud pública de los CDC, y el 3 de marzo de 2025, el principal portavoz de HHS también renunció, citando "desinformación y mentiras". El 28 de marzo de 2025, el principal oficial de vacunas de la FDA también renunció por razones similares. En julio de 2025, Kennedy enfrenta demandas legales significativas. El 7 de julio de 2025, la Academia Americana de Pediatría, la Asociación Americana de Salud Pública y otras organizaciones médicas demandaron a HHS y a Kennedy por cambios unilaterales en las recomendaciones de vacunas, específicamente por eliminar las recomendaciones de vacunas contra el COVID-19, argumentando que estas acciones son ilegales. Estas demandas reflejan la creciente oposición de la comunidad médica a sus políticas. Además, el 25 de junio de 2025, acusó a Gavi, una agencia global de vacunas, de ignorar la ciencia en la inmunización de niños, una afirmación que ha sido controvertida y criticada por expertos. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. elogió recientemente la Operación Warp Speed, (lanzada en mayo de 2020, bajo la administración de Donald Trump, con el objetivo de acelerar el desarrollo, la producción y la distribución de vacunas, tratamientos y diagnósticos para la COVID-19), calificándola de "logro extraordinario" y "demostración de liderazgo" del expresidente Donald Trump. Esta declaración supone un cambio notable para Kennedy, que anteriormente había criticado la iniciativa. Sus comentarios se realizaron durante una audiencia en el Senado, destacando las complejidades de la lealtad política y la evolución de las narrativas que rodean el despliegue de la vacuna COVID-19 de la administración Trump. Las acciones de Kennedy como Secretario de HHS han generado un debate intenso sobre el equilibrio entre la libertad individual y la responsabilidad pública en salud. Su promoción de la iniciativa MAHA, incluyendo giras por estados como Oklahoma y Louisiana en julio de 2025, busca revolucionar el sistema de salud, pero muchos lo ven como una fuente de temor por su enfoque en teorías marginales y su rechazo al consenso científico. Su legado como activista ambiental sigue siendo notable, como dijimos fue miembro y directivo del grupo ambientalista Riverkeeper. El bagaje de esta ONG inspiró un libro cuyo prologo fue escrito por el también promotor de los créditos de carbono Al Gore. Robert Kennedy es un calentólogo que dio un discurso durante el concierto de la misma temática catastrofista llamado Live Earth que organizó David Rothschild y Al Gore entre otros. Robert F. Kennedy Jr durante “la Marcha Popular por el Clima” en Nueva York que se llevó a cabo el domingo 21 de septiembre de 2014 dijo: “que es lamentable que no existan leyes para reducir el escepticismo sobre el cambio climático entre los legisladores” y “"Ojalá existiera una ley que los castigara”. ¿No tiene ojos en la cara el señor Kennedy para ver que la geoingeneria está detrás del supuesto cambio climático? El ayuntamiento de Adeje, en la isla de Tenerife, le pago una visita para hablar sobre el cambio climático. Un ayuntamiento de un pueblo de 50.000 habitantes trae a una superestrella como el señor Kennedy para que les cuente una milonga que solo han visto unas 100 personas en Youtube. Les pondremos la charla en la descripción del podcast. Y es que hay mucho dinero para este tipo de campañas que en realidad promueven la Agenda 2030 al igual que otras supuestas luchas como la libertad sexual. RFK Jr. ha sido un luchador por la comunidad LGBT y el "matrimonio igualitario". En 2011 se unió a su Campaña de Derechos Humanos en Nueva York junto a Mike Bloomberg, Fren Drescher, Kevin Bacon, Whoopi Goldberg y otros. Es una marioneta mas del poder al igual que lo fue su tio o cualquier otro miembro de la familia Kennedy. El New York Post lo relacionó presuntamente con Epstein y el Lolita express, en un largo y documentado artículo publicado en diciembre de 2023. No solo muestra una fotografía de RFK Jr. y su amante durante una fiesta que ofreció Epstein en 1994 si no que recoge declaraciones del propio Kennedy reconociendo que viajo por lo menos dos veces en el avión del pederasta en compañía de niños. Su amante por aquel entonces que luego terminaría siendo su esposa, Mary Richardson Kennedy, se suicidó en 2012 dos años después de divorciarse de Kennedy. Por aquel entonces estaban empezando a salir a la luz los escándalos de Epstein. En el New York Post podemos leer: “Kennedy era tan cercano a Epstein que el multimillonario tenía una larga entrada para “Kennedy, Bobby y Mary” en su “pequeña libreta negra”, que incluía contactos de personas de la alta sociedad y políticos, así como de las jóvenes a las que agredió sexualmente.” Christina Oxenberg miembro de la depuesta familia real serbia (el príncipe Andrés de Gran Bretaña es primo segundo), es una vieja amiga de la familia Kennedy y escribió un libro en 2021 donde habla de esa relación: “Esos viajes tuvieron lugar hace aproximadamente 30 años, mucho antes de que la conducta criminal del Sr. Epstein fuera de conocimiento público”. “En junio de 1989, el magnate de la prensa británica Robert Maxwell organizó una fiesta en el Lady Ghislaine, a orillas del Potomac, en Washington, D. C. Entre los invitados se encontraban el reverendo Jesse Jackson, exsecretario de Defensa, el director de la CIA y dos Kennedy.” Robert Maxwell era el padre de la compinche de Epstein, la supuesta madame, que atraía y manejaba a las chicas jóvenes con las que Epstein chantajeaba a la flor y nata mundial. Una Doctora que huyó a México estuvo denunciando a este particular Kennedy de que le estaba enviando acoso mafioso organizado e intentos de asesinato con tipos de la C I A. Esto durante la plandemia, antes de ingresar como miembro del "gobierno" actual de USA. Por supuesto este tipo de noticias son tildadas de bulo por las agencias verificadoras. Pero conozcamos un poco de dónde vienen estas agencias. Y es que la CIA, las agencia de verificación y los Kennedy son como uña y carne como se puede ver en documentos desclasificados de la propia CIA. Desde 1985 la CIA planeó como introducir sus ideas en el público. Para ello se infiltró junto al FBI en varias universidades como la Escuela de Gobierno Kennedy de Harvard. Desde allí se empezaron a crear las primeras agencias de fact checking como Crosscheck y otras bajo agencias como First Draft...agencia cuya supervisión recae en la propia CIA. Para Maldita.es la verdad brota de estas fuentes. Como os digo la propia CIA dio una conferencia en 1987 para dejar claro que las mentes más privilegiadas debían compartir pupitre con algunos de sus agentes. Esto es ya es duro de por si...pero aún no es nada para lo que esconden estas agencias de verificación. Una pequeña búsqueda os arrojará quién está detrás de la financiación de las principales. Incluyendo las españolas maldito bulo y otras. Las Fundaciones Avina y Ashoka son sus principales garantes. Nuestros amigos de Desmontando a Babylon nos lo contaron en varias ocasiones como en BdlV - dab radio temporada 7.0 Episodio 03 No somos m ashokas Clara Jiménez Cruz, la cofundadora y CEO de Maldito Bulo fue elegida Ashoka Fellow (una changemaker) en 2019. ¿Qué es eso de Ashoka y de que va ese tema de los changemakers, los hacedores del cambio o emprendedores sociales? Básicamente hablamos de unas cuantas familias poderosas, entre ellas la suiza Schmidheiny y la belga Emsens y De Cartier, todas ellas propietarias de las multinacionales que explotaron el amianto, creando y financiando estas agencias de verificación con la complicidad, como no, de los Estados Unidos. Así que ya veis, las multinacionales que contaminaron con amianto todo el mundo occidental y que han provocado cientos de miles de muertes por cáncer están detrás de las agencias que verifican si la información es real. De esto no oiréis hablar nunca al flamante RFK Jr. Estamos ante un político que habla sin dejar clara su postura en muchos puntos importantes, por ejemplo, durante su comparecencia en la audiencia del 29 de enero de 2025 para considerar su nominación como Secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos le hicieron esta pregunta sobre la IA: “La inteligencia artificial está transformando la investigación, el desarrollo y la prestación de servicios sanitarios. Tiene el potencial de mejorar la atención al paciente, los resultados sanitarios y la eficiencia. La IA también podría ser utilizada por los pagadores para limitar el acceso de los pacientes y crear obstáculos adicionales. ¿Qué papel cree que desempeñará el HHS en la gobernanza de esta tecnología transformadora?" Y esta fue su respuesta: “La inteligencia artificial tiene el potencial de cambiar fundamentalmente la forma en que se prestan los servicios sanitarios y los servicios humanos. Teniendo esto en cuenta, es posible que sea necesario considerar nuevas políticas y enfoques en toda la industria y el gobierno. El HHS puede apoyar mejor a los pacientes ofreciendo un entorno regulatorio claro y estable, cuando sea apropiado, con respecto a la seguridad, la eficacia y la transparencia, al tiempo que crea un amplio espacio para que el sector privado innove y amplíe la competitividad de Estados Unidos.” Le preguntaron sobre la transparencia. “Sr. Kennedy, la primera administración Trump tomó medidas importantes para mejorar la transparencia en la atención médica. Los programas y requisitos de transparencia en la atención médica, si se amplían, podrían ofrecer una oportunidad única para ayudar de manera significativa a reducir los costos de la atención médica y mejorar la calidad de los resultados. Si se confirma su nombramiento, ¿seguirá apoyando estos esfuerzos mediante la implementación de programas piloto de transparencia adicionales y políticas del HHS para ampliar aún más el trabajo que el gobierno federal ya ha comenzado en materia de transparencia?” Respuesta: R: “Si se confirma mi nombramiento, me comprometo a instaurar la transparencia en todos los programas y actividades del HHS, para que los estadounidenses puedan recuperar la confianza en el sistema sanitario. Además, espero con interés trabajar con el Congreso para presentar reformas legislativas que proporcionen a los estadounidenses una transparencia sin precedentes en su sistema sanitario.” Le preguntaron por la pandemia de Covid y se limito a contestar como lo haría un político. “La pandemia de COVID-19 puso de relieve el papel fundamental de la telesalud, que permite a los pacientes mantenerse en contacto con sus equipos de atención médica mientras permanecen seguros en sus hogares. Pero más allá de la pandemia, la telesalud sigue ofreciendo esperanza e innovación, desde el apoyo a los servicios de salud mental hasta la gestión de enfermedades crónicas, la mejora de la atención materna e incluso la solución de la escasez de personal en el sector sanitario. Presenté la Ley de Modernización de la Telesalud, un proyecto de ley bipartidista para hacer permanentes las flexibilidades de telesalud promulgadas durante la pandemia de COVID-19, con el fin de garantizar la cobertura continua y el acceso a la atención médica para los estadounidenses. Si se confirma, ¿cómo planea el HHS trabajar con el Congreso para garantizar que millones de beneficiarios de Medicare no pierdan el acceso a los servicios de telesalud y caigan abruptamente en el «precipicio de la telesalud»?” Respuesta: “La telesalud es una herramienta importante para proporcionar acceso a una gama de servicios de atención médica cruciales, especialmente para quienes viven en zonas rurales y en áreas con escasez de proveedores. Si se confirma mi nombramiento, espero trabajar con el Congreso para garantizar que los modos innovadores de prestación de atención médica, como la telesalud, maximicen la calidad y el acceso a la atención para los beneficiarios de Medicare.” Y es que durante el Covid se gano mucho dinero sometiendo a la población a medidas tan absurdas como usar un bozal que no servia para nada. Tenemos un escándalo en España que relaciona a la oficina de la Fundación Human Rights que dirige Kennedy con este tema de las mascarillas. El hijo de Nati Abascal se compró entre otras cosas un yate de 13 metros de eslora con sus comisiones. Encima bautizó a la embarcación como Feria en honor al titulo nobiliario que ostenta la familia, el del famoso pederasta Duque de Feria. Fue la presidenta de la universidad americana CIS, María Díaz de la Cebosa que es a la vez la persona que lleva en España la fundación Human Rights que preside Kennedy la que le facilitó al imputado Luis Medina el teléfono de Carlos Martínez-Almeida, el primo del alcalde de Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida. Los dos empresarios imputados se llevaron 6 millones de euros de un contrato para la compra de material sanitario. El hijo de Naty Abascal y su exsocio, absueltos de estafar al Ayuntamiento de Madrid, todo quedo en agua de borrajas. Le preguntan sobre el SIDA y responde esto: “El presupuesto anual del Instituto Nacional de Alergias y Enfermedades Infecciosas impulsa investigaciones fundamentales; entre los ejemplos se incluyen el desarrollo exitoso de nuevas vacunas contra el VRS, un fármaco aprobado por la FDA que retrasa la aparición de la diabetes tipo 1, una vacuna de ARNm contra el VIH y mucho más. Explique por qué planea detener este trabajo y a quién beneficiará.” Respuesta: “Si se confirma mi nombramiento, espero evaluar todas las agencias y programas para asegurarme de que están cumpliendo la misión de devolver la salud a los estadounidenses.” Las agencias de verificación son un invento, como hemos visto antes, de las grandes multinacionales y estas mismas empresas siguen trabajando sin cortapisas bajo la administración de este supuesto antivacunas que no lo es tal. Estas agencias no nos contaran la verdad jamas y no hablaran de la relación de este Kennedy con los grupos antivacunas que promocionan en verdad la Agenda 2030 y la Nueva era. Ni de esto ni de la La trágica historia de Rosemary, la hermana de J.F. Kennedy a quien su padre mandó a lobotomizar. Yo no me fiaría mucho de una familia que es capaz de realizarle una lobotomía a una pobre joven con problemas derivados de su nacimiento. En el parto no pudo respirar por no dejar que saliera de forma natural esperando casi dos horas por un médico que no llegaba. Una criada mantuvo las piernas cerradas de la madre… Hablamos de una joven con pequeños trastornos de aprendizaje que llegó a socializar con la realeza británica. Fue expulsada de Inglaterra por las declaraciones de su padre que afirmaba “que Reino Unido no podía ganar la guerra y que la democracia había terminado”. Regreso a USA y al final fue recluida en un convento...era incontrolable y una Kennedy incontrolable es un problema de estado. En un articulo de BBC news leemos: “Encerrada en un convento, se volvió desafiante a las restricciones. Las monjas no pudieron controlarla. "Muchas noches", recordó la prima de Rosemary, Ann Gargan, "la escuela llamaba a decir que había desaparecido y la encontraban vagando por las calles a las 2 a.m.". Pronto se supo que Rosemary se estaba escapando, según un compañero paciente que compartió muchos años del confinamiento posterior de Rosemary, para ir a tabernas y encontrarse con hombres en busca de atención, consuelo y sexo, escribió Elizabeth Koehler-Pentacoff en The Missing Kennedy.” Su padre tenía aspiraciones políticas para sus hijos y Rosemary era un peligro así que decidió someterla a una lobotomía con solo 23 años. Seguimos leyendo en BBC news: “Tras perforar agujeros en el cráneo de Rosemary, Freeman insertó un cuchillo y comenzó a cortar los lóbulos frontales de su cerebro. Atada a la mesa, ella estaba despierta y aterrorizada durante el procedimiento. De repente, se quedó en silencio y cayó en la inconsciencia. La operación había sido un catastrófico fracaso. Rosemary quedó sin poder caminar ni hablar. Incluso después de años de terapia, no podía pronunciar más que unas pocas palabras y nunca recuperó completamente el uso de sus extremidades.” Murió en 2005, a los 86 años tras pasar 63 largos años aislada, recluida en centros de internamiento privados sin recibir visitas. Si son capaces de hacer eso con uno de los suyos, que no serán capaces de hacer con un extraño. A continuación se presenta una lista de los principales eventos considerados parte de la «Maldición Kennedy». Si bien es improbable que todos estos eventos fueran resultado de una conspiración contra la familia, es difícil ignorar el fuerte patrón de sincronicidad, también conocido como «coincidencias significativas», asociado con los Kennedy. 1941—Se creía a menudo que Rosemary Kennedy padecía problemas mentales. Algunas fuentes afirmaban que padecía enfermedades mentales, como depresión y esquizofrenia. Debido a sus cambios de humor cada vez más violentos y severos, su padre, Joe Sr., organizó en secreto que se sometiera a una lobotomía. La lobotomía, en cambio, deterioró aún más sus capacidades cognitivas y, como resultado, Rosemary permaneció internada hasta su fallecimiento en 2005. 12 de agosto de 1944—Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. murió cuando su avión explotó sobre East Suffolk, Inglaterra, como parte del Proyecto Anvil. 13 de mayo de 1948—Kathleen Cavendish, marquesa de Hartington, murió en un accidente aéreo en Francia. 23 de agosto de 1956: Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy dio a luz a una hija muerta, Arabella. (Aunque está enterrada en el Cementerio Nacional de Arlington junto a sus padres con una placa que dice "Hija", sus padres tenían la intención de llamarla Arabella). 9 de agosto de 1963—Patrick Bouvier Kennedy murió dos días después de su nacimiento prematuro. 22 de noviembre de 1963—El presidente estadounidense John F. Kennedy fue asesinado en Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald fue acusado del crimen, pero Jack Ruby lo mató a tiros dos días después, antes de que pudiera celebrarse el juicio. El FBI y la Comisión Warren concluyeron oficialmente que Oswald fue el único asesino. Sin embargo, el Comité Selecto de la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos sobre Asesinatos (HSCA) concluyó que dichas investigaciones presentaban graves deficiencias y que Kennedy probablemente fue asesinado como resultado de una conspiración. 19 de junio de 1964—El senador estadounidense Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy sufrió un accidente aéreo en el que fallecieron uno de sus asesores y el piloto. Fue rescatado de los restos por su colega senador Birch E. Bayh II y pasó semanas hospitalizado recuperándose de una fractura de espalda, un pulmón perforado, costillas rotas y una hemorragia interna. 5 de junio de 1968—El senador estadounidense Robert F.

Washington, D.C. - Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos (HHS) y los Institutos Nacionales de Salud (NIH) anunciaron hoy el desarrollo de la plataforma de vacunas universales de próxima generación, Generation Gold Standard, utilizando una plataforma de beta-propioctona (BPL) activada por todovirus. Esta iniciativa representa un cambio decisivo hacia la transparencia, la eficacia y la preparación integral, financiando el desarrollo interno de vacunas universales contra la gripe y el coronavirus de los NIH, incluidos los candidatos BPL-1357 y BPL-24910. Estas vacunas tienen como objetivo proporcionar una protección de amplio espectro contra múltiples cepas de virus propensos a pandemias como la gripe aviar H5N1 y los coronavirus como SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, y MERS-CoV. Nuestro compromiso es claro: toda innovación en el desarrollo de vacunas debe basarse en la ciencia y la transparencia del patrón oro, y sometida a los más altos estándares de pruebas de seguridad y eficacia, dijo el secretario del HHS, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-nih-announces-generation-gold-standard.html Noticia de 11 de abril de 2025. La FDA aprueba vacuna de ARN mensajero contra la "gripe aviar". La FDA concedió la designación de vía rápida a una vacuna candidata de ARNm autoamplificante (ARCT-2304) para inmunización activa con el fin de proteger contra el subtipo H5N1 de la gripe A, también conocida como gripe aviar. La designación responde a la necesidad no cubierta de prevención del subtipo H5N1, que sigue siendo un riesgo sanitario mundial, y en noviembre de 2024 se inició un ensayo de fase 1 (NCT06602531) de la vacuna. https://www.drugtopics.com/view/fda-grants-fast-track-designation-for-potential-bird-flu-vaccine Robert Kennedy Jr invirtió en varias empresas de terapias genéticas tales como CRISPR Therapeutics y Dragonfly por un lado, mientras advertía de los riesgos esas mismas terapias a través de su Fundación Children's Health Defens por el otro. Dejo de participar en dichas empresas por los conflictos políticos que suponía su cargo sanitario en la Administración Trump no por conflictos éticos por su discurso contradictorio en Children's Health Defense. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/rfk-jr-will-divest-interests-crispr-tx-dragonfly-if-hhs-role-confirmed-letter Robert Kennedy es un calentólogo que dio un discurso durante el concierto de la misma temática catastrofista llamado Live Earth que organizó David Rothschild y Al Gore entre otros. https://youtube.com/watch?v=KG5zckBejK0&t=26s Robert F. Kennedy Jr. elogió recientemente la Operación Warp Speed, calificándola de "logro extraordinario" y "demostración de liderazgo" del expresidente Donald Trump. Esta declaración supone un cambio notable para Kennedy, que anteriormente había criticado la iniciativa. Sus comentarios se realizaron durante una audiencia en el Senado, destacando las complejidades de la lealtad política y la evolución de las narrativas que rodean el despliegue de la vacuna COVID-19 de la administración Trump. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xxOhOAXfjZw Robert F. Kennedy Jr: Los negacionistas del cambio climático deben ser castigados por ley Septiembre de 2014 https://www.al.com/news/2014/09/robert_f_kennedy_jr_climate-ch.html Robert Kennedy Jr presidió Waterkeeper, grupo ambientalista que acabó fusionándose con RiverKepper de la que también fue abogado. Ambas organizaciones fueron pioneras en reclamar la "restauración" de los ríos, un eufemismo que en realidad significa la destrucción de presas y otras infraestructuras hidráulicas y energéticas.

This is an encore release of an earlier podcast episode.The chance to play legendary American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one big reason for Kyle MacLachlan to sign on to Atlantic Crossing. But it was the story of the young Norwegian Royal Family at the heart of the miniseries that made him commit to the role. MacLachlan explores Roosevelt, Agent Dale Cooper and wine with lifelong Twin Peaks fan, MASTERPIECE Studio host Jace Lacob.

How can anyone forget those photos of Trump's sons celebrating over the carcasses of dead animals that they shot in Africa? Fortunately, not all sons of American Presidents behave so tastelessly in the wild. As Nathalia Holt argues in her new history, The Beast in the Clouds, Teddy Roosevelt's sons found redemption - and regret - in their (peaceful) 1928 quest for the giant panda in northwestern China. Holt argues that their remarkable expedition marked a pivotal moment in conservation history, transforming scientific thinking from hunting endangered species to protecting them, while simultaneously offering the troubled Roosevelt brothers their greatest achievement and deepest source of remorse. We should all give thanks for Teddy and his boys. Where would the wilderness or endangered species be without them?1. The expedition transformed scientific thinking from hunting to conservation"The story that I'm telling is all about the birth of conservation biology and how scientists changed their minds, how they went from believing that endangered animals needed to be hunted and killed to be studied to instead be described and to be photographed and to given far more protections."2. The Roosevelt sons were escaping personal and professional failures"Both the sons at this point in their lives, they are 41 and 39 years old, they're in a way running away from life... Ted, the eldest son, has just been what his wife called politically obliterated... Kermit Roosevelt, who has struggled. He does not have a successful business. He suffers from alcoholism."3. The panda was genuinely mythical to Western science"The panda was this animal that was mythical. Many people did not believe it even existed in the Western world... Many people believe that the panda would be a cross between a polar bear and a black bear, a very aggressive, dangerous animal."4. The expedition's success led to immediate regret and conservation efforts"When they come back after this trip they immediately regret their actions with the panda... And the Roosevelts are devastated by this because they know that they are the ones that have caused this."5. The expedition pioneered modern species protection policies"The panda is really the first animal to gain these protections. It's a real turning point, because you've had many endangered animals previously, that they're just, they go extinct and nobody makes any laws... But the pandas, because they know how rare they are, they decide to change things."Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Clay's conversation with Harvey Leake, the great-grandson of the pioneering southwestern archaeologists John and Louisa Wetherill. Harvey tells the story of former President Theodore Roosevelt's 1913 visit to the Four Corners region. First, TR and his sons Archie, age 19, Quentin, age 15, and their cousin Nicholas Roosevelt, age 20, rode through the Grand Canyon and up to the North Rim, where they hunted mountain lions. Then, they made an arduous horseback journey to Rainbow Bridge, the sacred site in the heart of Navajo country. Finally, they visited the Hopi world, where TR and his young companions observed the sacred snake dance and got into the underground kiva, where scores of rattlesnakes slithered around. Harvey Leake has dozens of family photographs of this 1913 Roosevelt adventure. It's a strenuous life story that could not possibly be connected to any other president of the United States. Recorded May 25, 2025.

Send us a textThis is our first of three special edition episodes looking back at the life and career of Bill Moyers. He was a legendary journalist who worked for PBS for many years. As a young man one of the earliest documentaries I owned was one he did on Hitler and Roosevelt comparing their life stories. He did amazing work. He is no stranger to our broadcast either, having appeared in several of our episodes when we were chronicling the years of Lyndon B. Johnson. He served as an aide to the former President during most of his years as President. In this episode we will look back at his journalism career mostly and hear him talk about many of the issues gripping the nation. Then in our next two episodes we will hear him on the phone with President Johnson. He was one of Johnson's few aides that he completely trusted. Bill Moyers was like family to the President. As you will see he seemed to be everywhere from the Great Society, to Civil Rights, to the War in Vietnam.

El pasado jueves el Congreso de Estados Unidos aprobó la denominada One Big Beautiful Bill, una ley de conciliación presupuestaria que aspira a ser el gran logro legislativo del segundo mandato de Donald Trump. No ha sido fácil sacarla adelante. Tras unas negociaciones muy accidentadas, el Senado la aprobó el martes gracias al voto de desempate del vicepresidente JD Vance. La Cámara de Representantes, que ya había aprobado una primera versión en mayo, ratificó la del Senado por 218 a favor frente a 214 en contra. Todos los demócratas votaron en contra, pero están en minoría. La premura por aprobarla la semana pasada se debía a que Trump quería celebrar el día nacional con esta ley. Los republicanos están encantados con la nueva ley, más conocida ya por el acrónimo BBB o simplemente triple B, pero carece de una base ideológica clara. En 2017 Trump delegó su agenda legislativa en Paul Ryan y Mitch McConnell, quienes impulsaron una ley de recorte de impuestos muy ambiciosa y cuyo objetivo era aligerar la carga fiscal para empresas y particulares. Hoy Ryan está retirado de la política y McConnell, aunque todavía senador, tiene ya poca influencia. La triple B extiende los recortes fiscales de la ley de 2017, pero financiándolos con recortes en el programa Medicaid y en el de cupones de alimentos, lo que afectará a unos 12 millones de personas, que perderán su seguro médico, y a más de un millón que se quedarán sin subsidio alimentario. Además, introduce nuevas trabas burocráticas, como revisiones semestrales de elegibilidad para Medicaid. Incluye algunas promesas de campaña de Trump como eximir de impuestos a las propinas, horas extras y los préstamos para la compra de automóviles. También permitirá la creación de las llamadas cuentas Trump para los recién nacidos. Medidas todas que expirarán antes de que termine la década porque Trump no puede pasar de 2029 como presidente. También elimina los subsidios verdes de la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación de Biden y promueve la extracción de combustibles fósiles en terrenos federales, aunque se desconoce cuántos inversores acudirán ya que el precio del barril de petróleo no es muy elevado. La Triple B no transforma la economía como lo hicieron el New Deal de Roosevelt o la desregulación de Reagan. Su enfoque apuesta por la rebaja fiscal pero no la financia disminuyendo el gasto. Se estima que la deuda se incremente, pero en la Casa Blanca no lo ven así. Los asesores del presidente esperan un crecimiento sostenido de la economía gracias a esta ley y una reducción consistente del déficit, una proyección un tanto optimista que depende de una desregulación masiva y un recorte de gasto muy acusado. No harán ninguna de las dos cosas. El aumento en el gasto en defensa y en control migratorio se comerán y superarán los ahorros de otras partidas. Críticos como Steve Bannon han señalado que los recortes a Medicaid afectan a la base electoral de Trump. Incluso Elon Musk, que se posicionó en contra de esta ley hace ya dos meses, ha propuesto crear el Partido de América para desafiar a los republicanos. Aunque Trump habla de ella como una legislación de carácter histórico, lo cierto es que la Triple B, más que una reforma estructural, es una continuación de la política económica del partido Republicano.

Episode: 1401 Theodore Roosevelt and Frederic Remington defining the West. Today, Roosevelt and Remington go West.
I'm a big fan of Nathalia (Nat) Holt's books, and am so excited to have the opportunity to talk to her about her new book, The Beast in the Clouds: The Roosevelt Brothers' Deadly Quest to Find the Mythical Giant Panda. I first met Nat when her book Cured: The People Who Defeated HIV came out and I attended a book event at Dartmouth Medical Center. She is so smart and curious and in this episode we will be talking about the process of researching elusive history, where her ideas come from, and who gets to tell what stories. Nathalia Holt's websiteTranscript below!EPISODE 455 - TRANSCRIPTJess LaheyHey, AmWriters! It's Jess Lahey here. I am so excited to talk about a new series that I am putting out there on the Hashtag AmWriting platform called From Soup to Nuts. I interview and work with and mentor an author—a nonfiction author—who has subject matter expertise and a killer idea, frankly, that just knocked me sideways. This author really thinks this is the time and place for this idea. And I agreed, and I asked her—I begged her—if I could mentor her through this process in a series. We're having to work together on agenting and proposal and all the stuff that you've got to do, from soup to nuts, to get a book out into the world. This series, From Soup to Nuts, is subscriber-only. The first episode is free, so you can go back and listen to that. That's for everyone. But if you want to join us for the whole process and learn from her mistakes—and learn from the stuff that I'm working on right now too—you have to subscribe. So consider supporting the Hashtag AmWriting podcast. It helps us bring you stuff like this—these extra series—not to mention the podcast itself. Alright, it's a lot of work. Help us support our podcast and these extra bonus series. By becoming a supporter, you'll get a sticker for it. You'll get your hypothetical, figurative sticker for being a good Hashtag AmWriting.Multiple speakers:Is it recording? Now it's recording, yay. Go ahead. This is the part where I stare blankly at the microphone. I don't remember what I'm supposed to be doing. All right, let's start over. Awkward pause… I'm going to rustle some papers. Okay, now one, two, three.Jess LaheyHey, this is the Hashtag AmWriting podcast. This is the podcast about writing all the things—writing the short things, writing the long things, writing the queries, the proposals, the poetry, the fiction, the nonfiction. This is the podcast actually, at its heart, about getting the work done. I am Jess Lahey. I am your host today. I'm the author of the New York Times best-selling The Gift of Failure and The Addiction Inoculation. And you can find my journalism at The New York Times and The Atlantic and The Washington Post. And today I am interviewing an author I respect deeply. I have known this author since she wrote her first book, which overlapped with some work that my husband does and some work that I had done in a previous career, and she has gone on to have a glorious and enviable career in nonfiction. My dream has always been to be one of those people that can, like, get curious about a topic and then just go off and write about that topic. And this is what she does. So Natalia—NAT—Holt, I am so excited to introduce you to our listeners. They are deep, deep, deep lovers of the nuts and bolts and the geeky details of the writing and the process. So welcome to the Hashtag AmWriting podcast.Nathalia HoltThank you so much. I'm excited to talk to you today.Jess LaheySo we have a book on HIV—the first book, Cured, which is the way that I got to know you. Also, full disclosure, we share an agent. Laurie Abkemeier is our agent, and I think she actually may have introduced us in the first place. Yeah, your first book—yeah, your first book, Cured, about the Berlin patients. Really interesting—if you've never heard of the Berlin patients, listeners, just, just Google it. It's really a fascinating story. I'll go over—I'll go read Cured. Cured is all about the Berlin patients. And then we have The Queens of Animation—the women behind, sort of, the way Disney does what they do. And—and—and then we also have Rise of the Rocket Girls, which is another fascinating book out there about the women behind a lot of the math and the planning and the work that was done to get us into space. And so when I heard about your new book, I'm like, "Oh, NAT's working on a new book. Great! What women are we going to talk about this time?" And it's such a departure for you, and it is such a fascinating topic for you. And, well, for me, it's like—it's deep in my geeky, Jess-book-loving nonfiction zone. Could you tell us a little bit about it and where the idea came from for this book?Nathalia HoltSure. The book is called The Beast in the Clouds, and it's about an expedition that the two eldest sons of President Theodore Roosevelt took in 1928 and 1929. And they went to China and Tibet in search of the giant panda, which at that time was unknown to Western scientists. And even in China, there were very few people that were aware of where this animal lived, what it ate—so little was known. So during this time period, the 1920s, you have all of these expeditions going to China, trying to find this black-and-white bear that no one is really sure exists. It's just a crazy period of history, because you have all of the other bears at that time—even polar bears—were known and even were in zoos. But the panda was not, and many people even thought it would be a ferocious bear. They thought this was going to be, you know, a combination of polar and black bears.Jess LaheyYeah, yeah.Nathalia HoltSo that's what the Roosevelts are going to. And so the expedition ends up being torturous, deadly. They're going through the Himalayas. They're not very well prepared. They lose all their food. They're attacked. They get lost. Just every crazy thing happens to them. But it's also a journey of transformation. They're documenting all of the ecology around them, and it really ends up changing their own worldview. And so it was such a fun book to research and to write. And I spent a lot of time also going into many of the other ex—many of the other members of the expedition, which was—which was fun, and maybe a little bit different than other books in this genre. But yeah, for me, you know, it's scary to be writing a part of history that is very different than what I've done before—but it's also fun.Jess LaheyWhere'd the germ of the idea for the book come from? Because I had never heard this story before. I guess it had just never occurred to me—like, where do we—how do we know about the panda bear?Nathalia HoltYeah, it's not a topic that has been written about much before, and I came across it while I was researching my last book, which is called Wise Gals, and is about women that helped form the CIA. And as part of that book, I was looking into the Roosevelts' role in World War Two. And it's so confusing when you research the Roosevelts, because they all have the same name. It's just Theodore and...Jess LaheyActually, I have to tell you, Tim's a huge fan—my husband, Tim, who you also know, is a big fan and has read a lot about—and he's like, "Well, which Roosevelt?" So you—and I'm like, "Oh, that's a really good question. I don't know which Roosevelt... like, the adventuring ones." He's like, "Well..." [unintelligible]Nathalia HoltYeah, there's so many of them, and they all have the same name. And so as I was trying to parse out son and father—who are both named Kermit Roosevelt and both served in World War Two—I kind of stumbled across this expedition that the elder Kermit Roosevelt had taken. So he and his older brother, Theodore, who were the sons of President Theodore Roosevelt, and so it just kind of—it came from there. Just sort of came from wanting to learn more about it. And I always love a challenge. If there's a topic that's difficult to research, that seems impossible to find anything about—I'm there. I want to know everything.Jess LaheyYeah. So, okay, so here's a—really a question that I—well, first of all, you and I are both research geeks. I just—I have said I could just keep researching books and not actually write the books. I just love that process. So aside from the easy answer, which is Google, like, where do you start with a story that hasn't been told yet? How do you start diving into that story, and where do you find information?Nathalia HoltIt's difficult, and it depends on the topic. For this one, I went through a number of different archives, and that was great. I was able to get old letters that the Roosevelts had. But I really wanted to bring in other voices. I was really, really persistent in my desire to bring in Jack Young, who was this young, 19-year-old, Hawaiian-born translator and naturalist on the trip. And I was fortunate enough that I was able to track down some interviews he had done with another author back in the 1990s, and I just was persistent. I just pleaded until I got these tapes and was able to get all these interviews with him. And then I also contacted his daughter, who lives in Hawaii, and was able to get his unpublished autobiography. And it gives such an interesting perspective, because Jack Young went on and became a very impressive person and really deserves a biography all of his own, but he was also very close friends with the Roosevelts. They had a real connection—a real bond. And you get a different sense of the story when you're hearing it through his descriptions of what it was like, because he is young, and he is sort of really documenting things for the first time. And then, in addition, I was so lucky with this book because I was able to also get the field journals from a scientist that was on the expedition, as well as all the writings from another naturalist. So it was fascinating, because there were so many different accounts of the same events, which really lets you go into detail about what it was like, what people were feeling, what they were seeing. And I don't think I've ever had that before—where I have so many different accounts of the exact same events.Jess LaheyThat's really cool, because it gives you that ability to, you know—if we went with just Jack Young's account, then you've got the Jack Young lens. And as you well know, history gets to be told by certain people, unless someone like you comes along and says, "Oh, wait, this account has not been brought to the surface," whether it's the women who are the animators at Disney, or whether it's the women who are part of NASA. So how do you—if you go into something like this and you have a limited number of perspectives—it sounds like you had a fair number of perspectives going into this, but since the documentation happened—usually tends to happen among the more powerful, the more privileged people—how do you manage getting a full perspective on an event like this expedition when you may have limited perspectives?Nathalia HoltThat is the real challenge, because it's easy to get the Roosevelts' documentation.Jess LaheyYeah, yeah, yeah.Nathalia HoltI have all of their journals, all of their letters. I am able to get into real detail about what this expedition was like for them. Even the difficult parts—for them—they really documented that, and everything has been saved. For the others... it's much more difficult, and it really requires that persistence of being able to get the letters. Being able to get the autobiography was really key, because he goes into so much detail about what things were like. And these interviews that he did were also really, really helpful, because he goes into a lot of his feelings about what it was like to be with the Roosevelts on the expedition, about how he felt… Because his father was born in China, his mother was born in San Francisco, he himself was born in Hawaii—which, at that time, is not part of the U.S.—he feels like he doesn't have a country. He doesn't know where he is. So when he's in China, he can speak all of these languages, but he's still struggling to connect and be able to talk with people, because there are so many dialects.Jess LaheyYeah.Nathalia HoltAnd so to be able to get into what that was like, and how he felt—just gives such a perspective—a different perspective of the expedition than perhaps what is usually had in these kinds of books. And he also talks a lot about the guides on the expedition, which was really interesting. There were a lot of women that were part of this expedition. Half of the guides, who kind of act as Sherpas—they, you know, they carry things, they lead the way, they guide the route, they make camp. And so there are just some great moments with these guides—especially the women guides—where they are just protecting from crazy marauders that have come down and have attacked the group. And lots of great moments like that. That was really interesting to document. And in addition, another thing I was able to get for this book is—there was actually some early video and a lot of photographs that were taken.Jess LaheyOh my goodness.Nathalia HoltBy one of the members. And that is just such an incredible thing—to be looking at video of this expedition in the 1920s—it's just amazing.Jess LaheyOkay, so geek question here, since this is definitely what our listeners like the most. So I haven't laid hands on the book yet, because it's not out yet—did you put photographs in the book? Were you able to get access to photographs, and did you put them in the book? And I ask that because whenever I write a proposal or we're working on a book proposal, we have to indicate whether or not there's going to be artwork, and that changes things in terms of budget, and it changes things in terms of permissions and stuff. And I was curious about—I've never dealt with that side of it before, but maybe you have.Nathalia HoltI have. I've always sent photographs, and I love it. Because I feel like it helps when you read the book—especially a book like this.Jess LaheyYeah.Nathalia HoltYou know, when I'm describing what they look like, and where they are, you want to see it with your own eyes. And so it's really interesting to be able to see those photographs. And I had so many, and it's always a challenge to parse out—who has the permissions? Where do they come from? Finding the photographs—this always takes forever. Fortunately, this particular book was maybe a little bit easier, because a lot of the photographs are out of copyright, that had been published at that time. So that was nice. But yeah, no, it was still just a mess, as it always is. It's always a mess to figure out who do photographs belong to. I feel like I would love to become a lawyer—just for that moment in researching a book.Jess LaheyThat's a whole layer I've never had to go into. And it was easier for me to—rather than just say, "Yeah, I'd like to include this one thing," and then I realized the nightmare that's ahead of me in terms of accessing and getting permission and all that stuff. I'm like, "Eh! Let's just stick with what we got in the print." But, for something like this—and especially when you're writing about, for example, animation, or if you're writing about, you know, this expedition, and there's art available—you know, it sounds like it's really, really worth it for that aspect. I mean, that's definitely something I would want in this book. So I think I know the answer to this question. This is a heavily loaded question, but are you—when it comes to research and it comes to what you include in the book—are you an overwriter or an underwriter? Or do you land pretty much—like, when you're doing your editing, are you like, "Oh no, this was the perfect amount to include?"Nathalia HoltOh, I'm a terrible overwriter.Jess LaheyOh. So am I!Nathalia HoltIt's really a problem. But I worked very hard on this book at cutting, and it was not easy for me, because I do always tend to go way overboard. I'm always over the word count that I'm supposed to be at—with the exception of this book, where I did a very good job of cutting it down and really trying to focus and not, you know, getting too distracted.Jess LaheyYeah, we joke all the time with my other co-hosts and friends that my—like, my history sections in both of my books could have been half of the book or, you know... and all the stuff that ends up on the floor ends up getting told in cocktail parties. You know, "By the way, did you know how many, you know, kegs of beer there were on the ships that came over? I do. Can I share? Because I did all this work and I've got to put it somewhere." And there's this weird—there's this weird line between, "Look, look how thorough I am. Can I have an A+ for how thorough I am?" versus what your reader might actually be interested in. I keep some of my favorite notes from my former editor, and she's like, "Yeah, the reader... no. Reader doesn't care. Not going to care. You know, this may be really fun for you, but maybe not for your reader." So—but I can imagine with something like this, you know, the details of the flora and fauna and all that other stuff—it would be really easy to get off on tangents that are not necessary for the core mission.Nathalia HoltYes, absolutely. But in some ways it was easier than my past books, because it only takes place over a year, which is incredible. Most of my books take place over decades, and the cast of characters is much smaller as well. And unlike some of my past books, I feel like I need to include everyone out of fairness—which is kind of a weird way to approach a book. I don't recommend it. That's not the way to do things. But yeah, if you're really just looking at a few—a handful of people—over a year, it's much easier to stay on track. So that was a good exercise for me.Jess LaheyYeah, there's a—there's a line I love, where David Sedaris talks about the fact that what it takes for him to purchase something is if the clerk at the store has gone to the trouble to take it out of the case, to show it to him, and then he feels like he has to buy it because he—someone went through the trouble. And same thing for me. If, like, someone's going to go to the trouble to be interviewed, then cutting that entire interview, or cutting that whole through line, or whatever that person is a part of, is incredibly painful to do. And then I feel like—I feel obligated. So it's a difficult—it's a difficult balance, you know, between what your readers are going to actually want and what makes for a good book, versus doing right by the people who spent time talking to you. It's a hard balance to strike. Alright, speaking of being in the weeds and geek questions—so I'd love to talk to you a little bit. I was just—I'm mentoring someone for a little series we're doing for this podcast, sort of from soup to nuts, from the beginning of an—from the inception of an idea to getting a book out. And the very first thing she did was send something to me in a Pages document. And I had to say, "Hey, you might want to think about using Word or maybe Google Docs, because, like, I don't have Pages." So—some details about how you work. Number one, do you have a preferred app that you like to write in? Because I'm a Scrivener gal.Nathalia HoltI mean, I prefer Word because I feel like it is the most universal. It's the easiest to send to people... and so that's what I go with.Jess LaheyYeah, I use Scrivener only because it allows me to blank out the rest of the world really easily. Okay, and then organizing your research. This is something—the question of organizing your research, how you know you're done researching and really just need to actually start writing the words—are the two questions that I get the most. Because the research could go—especially on a topic like this—could go on forever. So number one, given this voluminous research that you had, how do you organize your research? Do you use folders on your computer? Do you use folders in—you know—how do you do all of that?Nathalia HoltI do folders on my computer, and then I also do hard copies that I actually keep organized in real folders, which helps me, because then, if I'm going into a specific topic, a lot of times it can be easier to actually hold on to those documents and being able to see them. So I do both. Um, and...Jess LaheyHas everything pretty much been digitized in this area? Do you feel like—or do you have to go into rooms and, like, actually look at paper documents, and sometimes they don't let you scan those? So, you know, how does that work for you?Nathalia Holt Yes, it's very difficult if they don't allow you to photograph them. Usually they do. Usually you can. So I have always had to digitize documents, and there's so many different ways to do it, but now it's much easier just to use your phone than anything else, which is great. Very happy about this development. And yeah, I think—I think maybe that's part of the reason why I do like to print things out is because that's how I was first introduced to the material, so it can be useful for me. But there's way too much material to print everything out. I mean, there's so many hundreds, thousands of pages even. And so it's always just going to be sort of key documents that end up making their way into the actual folders, and then the rest—it's just, you know, organized by topic. Make sure images are separate, by person.Jess LaheySo then, how do you know you're done? Like, how do you feel like you're at a place where I now know enough to come at this from—to come at the storytelling from an informed place?Nathalia HoltThat is really a good question, and I'm not sure I can answer it, because I feel like you're never done. You're always going to be researching. There's no real end to it.Jess LaheyBut you have to start. Well, and this—this takes—this is separate from the question of, like, how much research—how much research do you have to have done for the book proposal? Like take it for example, for example, The Addiction Inoculation, where I needed to learn, really, a whole new area... that was a year-long process just to write the proposal for that book, and then another couple years for the book. So, for me—and I'm very happy to say—I got to ask Michael Pollan this question, and he had the same answer that I feel like is my instinctual answer for this, which is when I start to say, "Oh, I'm starting to repeat. Things are starting to repeat for me," and/or, "Oh, I already knew that," and so I'm not finding out new stuff or encountering things I don't already know at the same rate. It's starting to sort of level off. Then I feel like, "Oh, I've got this sort of, like, you know, mile-high view of the—of the information," and I maybe have enough in my head to start actually being an expert on this thing.Nathalia HoltThat's a good answer. That sounds responsible. I'm not sure that I do that, though. I think for myself, there's not a bad time to start, because it's going to change so much anyway, that for me, I almost feel like it's part of the learning process. Is that you start to write about it, and then as you go along, you realize, "Oh, this is not right. I'm going to change all of this," but it's all just part of helping you move along. And I think even from the beginning, if you start writing even just bits and pieces of how you want to write the scene, you want to think about this or outline it, that can be helpful, and it doesn't matter, because it's all going to change anyway.Jess LaheyThat's true. I actually find I write—the way I write is very specific, in that each topic I'm going to write about in a chapter has a narrative arc, story that goes with it. So I—that narrative arc story gets written first, and then I drop the research in as I go along. But I remember, with The Gift of Failure, a book came out that had a key piece of research that then I had to go back and figure out, "Oh my gosh, this impacts everything." And so I had to figure out how to sort of drop that in. And I couldn't have done it at any other time, because the research didn't exist or I hadn't found it yet. So that's a tough thing to do, is to go back and sort of link the things to something new that you think is important. But the research part is just so much fun for me. Again, I could do that forever and ever and ever. Do you? So the other thing I wanted to ask... and this is selfishly... do you have large boxes in your home of all the research that you feel like you can't get rid of, even though you wrote the book, like, five years ago, ten years ago?Nathalia HoltI do not. I pare down.Jess LaheyYou do?!Nathalia HoltAfter time, yes. It's hard to do, though, because it's hard to throw things away, and I definitely have folders that I keep. They're just full of things that I can never get rid of. And obviously it's all digitized as well, but there are things like that that mean a lot to me, that I can't get rid of.Jess LaheyWell, there's actually—this was a very selfish question, because I actually just went through and finally got rid of a whole bunch of stuff that... I felt like it was at the heart—it was the main research for The Gift of Failure, and I used it to mulch my gardens. I put—and so it was like this metaphorical kind of, like, knowledge feeding the thing that I care about the most right now. And so I used it to mulch all the paths in my gardens and create new garden beds and stuff like that. But I'm always curious about that. Like, I every once in a while see something on, like, "X"—what used to be Twitter—or someplace like that, like, can I get rid of the research from the book I wrote 25 years ago? Or is that too soon? Well, so when exactly does the book come out? Give us your—give us your pub date.Nathalia HoltIt comes out July 1st.Jess LaheyOkay. And I have to say... cover is gorgeous. How did you land on that cover image?Nathalia HoltOh, I really didn't get much say.Jess Lahey Okay.Nathalia HoltThe one thing I—I mean, you know, they have whole people that have skills that do these things, but one thing I was very passionate about was keeping the brothers on the cover in their expedition gear. So originally, the publisher had wanted them to be in suits on the front, and I just hated it. I hated it so much, because I feel like they need to be on the trail. You need to see them as they were on the trail. And so that's one thing I really pushed for. And I was fortunate that they—they listened, and they were okay with that.Jess LaheyWell, I'm just—I mean, this book is going to have such a great place alongside books like The River of Doubt and other, you know, really wonderful books that are about the expositions—that the expeditions that get taken by these historical fixtures—figures. And I'm just—I'm so excited for this book. I'm so happy for you about this book, because it is just—when I started telling people about the topic, they're like, "Oh, I would read that." And I'm like, "I know! Isn't that the best idea?" And that's part of the magic, is coming upon the really cool idea. And so I'm just really, really happy for you and really, really happy about this book and excited for it.Nathalia HoltThank you. Oh, that's so nice to hear, especially because this was a very difficult book to get published. I mean, there was a real moment where I wasn't sure I was going to find someone that would...Jess LaheyWell, can you—I didn't want to ask it. You know, this is—having—doing a podcast like this, where we often talk about the mistakes, we talk about the blunders, we talk about the stuff that went wrong. It can be really, really hard because you don't want to bite the hand that feeds you, or you don't want to, like, make anyone think that this book wasn't anything other than a 100% lovely experience from beginning to end. But I would love to talk about that, if you're willing.Nathalia HoltOh, sure. I don't really have anything bad to say about anyone. I think it's—I think it's understandable that people wouldn't naturally think I would be the best author to write this. I haven't written other books like it, and so it was a difficult book to sell. It wasn't easy, and it definitely crystallized to me how important it was that I write it. I really felt like this was my purpose. I really wanted to write it, and maybe it's good to have that moment, because it really makes it clear that this is something you need to do, even if it's not easy, even if it's tough to find a publisher. And I was fortunate that I did. You know, luckily, there was an editor that—sort of at the last minute—believed in it enough to give it a go. And yeah, it's just—it always feels like a miracle when the book comes to fruition and is actually published. It just seems as if that could never really happen, and this one was a difficult road to get there, for sure.Jess LaheyWell, especially since a big part of the proposal process is trying to convince someone that you're the—you're the person to write this book. And in this case, it's not so much because you're a subject matter expert going into it. It's that you're a really good researcher, and you're a meticulous writer and a meticulous researcher, and most importantly, this story speaks to you. And I think, you know, some of my very favorite nonfiction books that I recommend over and over and over again—narrative nonfiction—it's clear in the reading how excited the author was about the story, and I think that's part of the magic. So I think you're the perfect person to write it. I don't know what they could have—because if you are—if you're fired up about the story... And as an English teacher, and as someone who's had to convince middle school students why they need to be excited about this thing I want to teach them, the enthusiasm of the teacher is part of what can spark the engagement for the learner. So I think that's a really, really important part of any book. Plus, you got to—you're—as an author, you're going to have to be out there talking about this thing, and so you better love the topic, because you're going to be talking about it for ages.Nathalia HoltYes, absolutely. I mean, no matter what, this is many years of your life that's dedicated to a topic. But I think it's—it's a good lesson in general, that you can write in one genre and one kind of book for years, and then it might not be easy, but it is possible to actually break out of that and find other topics and other things you want to write about. We grow. We all change.Jess LaheyYeah, one of my—one of, as our listeners will know, Sarina Bowen, one of my co-hosts and one of my best friends—she's—she has written romance forever and ever and ever, and she's like, "You know what? I want to write a thriller," and it has been a really steep learning curve and also a huge effort to sort of convince people that she can do that too. But it's also really, really satisfying when you show your chops in another area. So—and I had an—as I was going through sort of the details about this book, and reading about this book, I was thinking, you know what this would be really, really good for? An exhibit at someplace like the Field Museum, or like an exhibit of—oh my gosh, that would be incredible. Like, if this is a story that hasn't been told, and there's a lot of art, and there may be video and photographs and all—and journals—man, that would make for an amazing—if anyone out there is listening, that would make for an amazing museum exhibit, I think. And of course, everyone's listening to me.Nathalia HoltThat would be amazing.Jess LaheyEveryone is listening to me...Nathalia Holt Oh, well, they should.Jess LaheyAll right. Well, thank you so, so much. Where can people find you? And is there anything else you'd like to talk about that you're working on or that you're excited about? Besides, you know, just getting this book out into the world?Nathalia HoltYou can find me at nathaliaholt.com and on Instagram and Facebook and X @NathaliaHolt. And yeah, right now I'm pretty much focused on this book. I have something else percolating, but it's still away a good days. So it's the fun research part. Isn't that...?Jess LaheyYou will notice I did not ask you what's next, because to be asked what's next when you haven't even birthed the thing you're working on now can be a little irritating. So as someone who's aware of this inside baseball, I didn't even. Later on—privately—I would love, because I'm a big fan, big excited about your work, and love, love introducing people to your work. So I think—and also, one of the things we talk about a lot on this podcast is having books that are exemplars of good research, of good storytelling. I have a stack of books that I keep near me when I need to dissect something to get at—oh, this person did a really good job with, for example, historical research, or this person did a really good job of using their expert voice, and I need to tap into that today. I think your books are—would be excellent, excellent selections for our listeners, for their pile of exemplars for really well-done research and telling other people's stories—historical stories that occur in a sort of in a modern context. Your books are really dissectible, and I know that's super high-level geek stuff, but they've really helped me become a better storyteller as well.Nathalia HoltThank you. That's so kind of you. I really appreciate that.Jess LaheyAll right, everyone—go get the book, read the book. Don't forget to pre-order, because that really matters to us authors, and don't forget to review it wherever you purchased it, once you have read it. And Nat, thank you so much. And I apologize for calling you Natalia at the top of the hour. I'm so just so used to doing that—Nat.

Dear friends,'Have you seen my free movie "Conspiracy" yet? The movie has been accepted at 16 film festivals so far. It concerns the JFK assassination, Watergate and the death of Marilyn Monroe. In each the CIA played an important role. With the release of over 77,000 documents from that period, with the redactions removed, we see that the CIA and FBI knew a great deal about Oswald and were tracking his movements long before the Kennedy assassination day. They lied about this to the Warren commission and to subsequent congressional inquiries.I go into this in more detail in my podcast 'The CIA and the murder of John F. Kennedy' which you can listen to above.To view the free Conspiracy movie click here.Meanwhile, the attempt to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the genocide against the Palestinian people continues unabated. The latest assault is an attempt to starve them to death. Over 33,000 children have been murdered by the insane right-wing Israeli government with the full support of the Israeli people with weapons supplied by our government, both Democrats and Republicans.This cannot help but remind me of the original genocide carried out by the Nazis against the Jews of Europe. Tragically, the same silence prevails by the corporate and CIA controlled main stream media today as it did during the original Holocaust.During that time even the major Jewish leaders, who knew about the Shoah, kept silent supposedly not wanting to provoke American anti-semitism or embarrass President Roosevelt who had several notable anti-semites in his cabinet. Zionist organizations played a big role in hushing up the Holocaust and preventing Jews from going to the United States and Britain since their focus was getting them to go to Palestine to build the nascent state of Israel. As a result few Jews fleeing Hitler were admitted to the U.S. And shamefully the rail lines to the concentration camps were never cut. lnstead, our bombers were tasked with dropping bombs on German civilians in a failed attempt to demoralize them.As a Jewish person who was educated in the Zionist system I became aware that Zionism is a supremacist system like that formerly used in South Africa and whose purpose is to destroy and/or segregate the indigenous peoples (in this case the Palestinians) in order for fanatical settlers to grab their land.More on this is in an upcoming podcast including my individual path from Zionism to opposition to Zionism.Meanwhile, I urge you to protest Israel's genocide in Gaza with U.S. supplied weapons and the terror attacks on Iran by Israel and Trump. Support the organizations resisting this like Jewish Voice for Peace, an organization of Jews for a just peace in the Middle East and open to people of all faiths. Urge your Congressman and any organizations you belong to help stop this genocide.Regards,Roger This is a public episode.

Mr. X (Donald Sutherland) in the movie JFK by Oliver Stone was based off of the military career of Col. L. Fletcher Prouty. Prouty's military career started before Pearl Harbour, where he was assigned as a Horse Cavalryman. After horses were replaced with tanks in 1941, Prouty joined the Tank Corps under General Creighton Abrams. Abrams went on to be the Senior Military officer in Vietnam during the Vietnam War from 1968-1972. Already a licensed pilot in the Tank Corp, the Air Force recruited Prouty; he transferred quickly to flight school in Africa. Prouty served in the Africa Middle East wing of the Air Transport Command. Prouty being sent to the Cairo Conference in 1943 was the start of Prouty's career with clandestine operations. The Cairo Conference was attended by Churchill, Roosevelt & Chiang Kai-Shek from China. From there, Prouty was sent directly to the Tehran Conference between Churchill, Roosevelt & Stalin met for the 1st time. Why haven't historians been told that Chiang Kai-Shek was ALSO at the Tehran Conference? Prouty knows Chiang Kai-Shek attended the Tehran Conference because he was the pilot that flew him there. A friend of Prouty's was the pilot who flew Elliot Roosevelt to the same Tehran Conference in 1943. After the conferences Prouty was sent to Pacific, flying heavy transport, mostly patients to the hospital, until the war ended. The unit Prouty was flying in was asked to fly immediately into Japan once the war was over in August 1945. The only air base that the US hadn't bombed in anticipation of invading was the major underground Japanese base at Atsugi. The CIA utilized the Atsugi base, where men like Lee Harvey Oswald were later stationed. When Prouty flew back to Okinawa he noticed a huge stockpile of military equipment being loaded onto US ships. The Harbour Master told Prouty the equipment was being sent to Vietnam and Korea. Who had given the orders for the relocation of the military equipment? How early were plans made to invade Vietnam? Prouty was ordered by the Army to report to Yale University to help start a new aviation program. Prouty taught at Yale for three years before being sent to NY to write a text book on Aeronautics for the US Army. After publishing the first text book, Prouty was asked to write another book on rockets and missiles. Given full authority by the government to go anywhere, and interview anyone, Prouty interviewed Werner Von Braun. Von Braun explained to Prouty in 1949 how he would land a rocket on the moon. After helping to set up the NORAD operation in Colorado Springs, after a year Prouty was sent to Tokyo. While the US was an occupation force in Japan, the US military ran the country while Japan was rebuilt. Tokyo had been completely devastated. Prouty was installed as the airport manager for the International Tokyo Airport. Prouty had never seen anywhere as destroyed as Tokyo was by the end of the war. In the Korean war period, after the airport was given back to the Japanese, Prouty helped fly supplies to Lansdale. In 1952-1953 CIA's Edward G. Lansdale built up a covert army in the Philippines under the leadership of Ramon Magsaysay. President Quirino had been the leader of the Philippine government before Magsaysay was installed in 1953. In 1955 Prouty was sent back to US to attend the Armed Forces Staff College run by the Joints Chiefs of Staff. Prouty was then brought into the Pentagon. In 1955 under Eisenhower, CIA would get assistance and funds from military conduits to support their covert operations. In order to enable this plan, an office and system had to be created to handle this global operation. As Chief of Special Operations for the Air Force, Prouty was given the task of heading and creating the office and system. Lansdale was also in the Pentagon at this time, developing programs which later turned into the Special Forces.
Ron Unz joins José Niño for a deep dive into the forgotten history behind America's anti-Communist crusade. Far from being a mindless witch hunt, Unz argues that McCarthyism was a chaotic but justified reaction to earlier left-wing purges—many led by Jewish activists and institutions—during the Roosevelt era.Unz explains how McCarthy's rise was driven by ethnic resentment, particularly among Irish-Catholics, and how Jewish involvement in both Communism and anti-Communism has shaped the historical narrative we've inherited. Unz challenges sanitized accounts of the Red Scare and exposes the power dynamics that still define elite discourse today.Follow Ron Unz' work here:Article: https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-mccarthyism-part-iii-the-jewish-angle/ Website: https://www.unz.com/X/Twitter: https://x.com/UnzReview Are you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

Alan Dershowitz, Lawyer, Professor and Author of “The Preventive State” joins to talk about his book, President Trump and more.
Recently, Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak sent out an email seeking to debunk what she describes as myths when it comes to proposed changes to the Medicaid program. She argues that the program isn't being cut, but rather just being slowed in its growth. But wherever you come down on that debate, the fact that she's prompted to make these arguments is politically significant. On this episode of Plain Talk, my co-host Chad Oban and I talked about that, in the context of one of Fedorchak's predecessors, former Rep. Earl Pomeroy, trying to explain his vote in favor of Obamacare. Oban pointed out that while Fedorchak is disputing the claims that Medicaid is being cut, some Republicans, including Mehmet Oz, the Trump administration's administrator for Medicare and Medicaid services, are calling them cuts. "The problem that she has is it's not just people like me who are saying it's Medicaid cuts," Oban said. "You're like, well, these aren't cuts, but when someone on your own side is referring to them as cuts, you're losing that war," he continued. We also discussed the NDGOP's on-going District 25 debacle, and what the proposed sell-off of federal lands means for Interior Secretary Doug Burgum's political trajectory. Also on this episode, Matt Briney, chief communications officer for the Theodore Roosevelt President Library, talks about the progress on the project. "We're looking forward to welcoming everybody July 4th, 2026 when we will open to the public." Public funding for the project has drawn some criticism, but Briney pointed out that only "about 11% of the project is funded from state funds" and that the library organizqation hasn't had to touch a $70 million line of credit made available by the state. He also detailed some of the features visitors will be able to explore next year. "We're going to take you into the White House. TR's White House. Not the White House that we know today, but TR's White House. So, it's going to have the full kind of look and feel replica of being in there," he said, adding that the library will leverage artificial intelligence technology to make simulated conversations with Roosevelt possible. "You're actually going to be able to talk to TR and TR is going to talk back to you," Briney said. "And that's where we're we're leveraging new technologies from Microsoft...where you can have actual conversations in a group setting with him."

What do our actions reveal about our true priorities? Most of us claim to want deep faith, strong marriages, and good relationships with our children—but when the price comes due, our enthusiasm often wanes. We want spiritual growth but don't carve out time for prayer. We desire strong marriages but fail to prioritize our spouses. We long to be good parents but hesitate at the necessary sacrifices.This tension between our stated desires and our actual choices forms the heart of this episode. Drawing from scripture, history, and contemporary events, we examine how this same disconnect plays out not just in personal faith but in our national identity and response to global conflicts. Through a powerful reading of Revelation 14, we're reminded that believers will eventually rest from their labors—no more pain, sickness, heartache, or tears awaits those who persevere.The concept of neutrality receives particular scrutiny as we tackle the troubling rise of anti-Israel sentiment among some Christian communities. Just as Roosevelt recognized that appeasing Hitler might temporarily buy peace while ultimately endangering future generations, we must question whether moral neutrality is even possible. History shows that isolationist thinking—the belief that distant conflicts aren't our concern—ultimately leaves us vulnerable when evil gains strength unchecked.Through compelling historical examples from both the Spanish Inquisition and the American Revolution, we see how power corrupts when Christ's principles are abandoned. The episode concludes with practical guidance for today's believers: resist through every legal means available, prepare local communities, and recognize that our daily choices are always moving us either toward Christ or away from Him. Your priorities aren't what you claim them to be—they're revealed by where you invest your time, attention, and heart.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
Nick Cohen talks to Lowdown regular and Guardian columnist Rafael Behr about Labour's struggle with the new international Trump disorder, its communications crisis, perceived serial bungling by Sir Keir Starmer and the party's perceived drift.Starmer struggling with Trump's betrayal of the WestIn anticipation of a possible US strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, Rafael & Nick discuss the growing decay of the so-called US-UK "special relationship". Rafael does not believe that Sir Keir Starmer grasps "the sheer enormity of what is happening." He adds "I think he's ultimately a very small "c" conservative person who thinks you can just fix things by sort of just getting through, making do mending sort of DIY around the status quo and hoping that that process will just see you through."Trump's Putin fanboys are nothing newRafael reminds Nick that the American First tradition was "very sympathetic of Hitler or, wanted to keep out of the second World War." He adds, They developed conspiracy theories that Roosevelt was really responsible for Pearl Harbour and all that kind of underworld, which never went away in America, is, is now back, is now back with Trump."

Battleship IOWA is home to thousands of artifacts. From the ship herself to a chair from NAGATO – the last Japanese battleship, from physical objects to digital images, all of these artifacts must be cataloged and stored.Dave Way is the ship's historian and curator. His job is find and present the collection. He is walking encyclopedias who can spout amazing episodes from the ship's storied past at will. The USS Iowa is one of the largest, most imposing forces in naval history. Originally commissioned to support land invasions (amphibious assaults) in WWII, this devastating behemoth was also a force to be reckoned with during the Korean War. It was decommissioned in the 50's. but then recommissioned in the 80's during the Regan administration in support of his “600 ship” navy initiative. Finally decommissioned in the 90's, this floating fortress was turned into a museum, complete with tours! I talked to curator David Way about the President Roosevelt almost getting hit by a torpedo, Victory the official canine mascot, and the mysterious Combat Engagement Center.
British historian Tim Bouverie discusses the knotty diplomatic dilemmas faced by Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin.
Last week, Portland Public Schools Superintendent Kimberlee Armstrong announced her plan to end Jefferson High School's “dual-enrollment policy”—which allows families in its boundaries to choose between Jefferson or nearby Grant, Roosevelt, or McDaniel high schools instead. Translation? No more school choice for families in North Portland, choices they have enjoyed since 2011. As Willamette Week's reporter put it directly, “PPS Considers Requiring Students in Jefferson Catchment to Attend the School.”It seems, now that Jefferson has a half-billion dollars to build a “world-class school” with capacity for 1,700 students, fewer than 400 students will cut the ribbon on opening day, according to Portland State University's Population Research Center Enrollment Forecast for 2033-34.Ms. Armstrong's May 29 Memo proposes tackling the problem by ending these options for nearly 2,000 students who currently attend neighboring high schools. The School Board will study and decide on this required attendance at Jefferson by the fall of 2026.Until now, Jefferson area families have enjoyed the most progressive policy in the city regarding school choice. Now that the $2 billion school bond has passed, they are proposing to take that choice away. This strategy is backwards, and it is bound to fail. A better option would be to research opportunities to expand school assignments throughout the district and let parents sort out which district school best serves the individual needs of their child.Armstrong says she wants Portland to be a model for the nation. To date, 35 states, plus Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, have enacted some form of school choice legislation. Letting parents choose among district schools would be an excellent path for the future of Jefferson High School and Portland Public Schools.
“From the very beginning the intent was that the American people needed to be able to access the records so that we would be able to hold the government accountable for its actions.” - David FerrieroDuring the first Trump administration, when access to certain websites and information was being threatened, we started our Keepers series about activist archivists, rogue librarians, historians, collectors, curators — protectors of the culture and the free flow of information and ideas. Today our national librarians and archivists are being fired, our museums are being threatened, our journalists are being hampered, and truth and transparency is once again under attack.In 2017, we talked with David Ferriero, the 10th Archivist of the United States, about the the beginnings of the National Archives under Franklin Roosevelt and its purpose. Ferriero tells of early keepers like Stephen Pleasonton, a brave civil servant who saved the Constitution and Declaration of Independence as the British burned Washington during the War of 1812. Stories of a letter from Fidel Castro to President Roosevelt requesting a $10 dollar bill, and a letter from Annie Oakley to William McKinley volunteering to rally 50 women sharp shooters to fight in the Spanish Civil War.Selected as Archivist of the United States in 2010 by President Obama during the time of his Open Government Initiative, Ferriero worked to make the system more transparent and accessible to the public. With a collection of about 13 billion pieces of paper, 43 million photographs and miles and miles of film and video and about 6 billion electronic records, Ferriero believes “we are responsible for documenting what is going on.” “I think my favorite times are twice a year when we do naturalization ceremonies in the Rotunda and between 50 and 200 new citizens are sworn in in front of the Constitution," he said. "Just to see them experiencing the documents outlining the rights that are now theirs. Those are powerful moments.”
Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Kiki Ebsen, daughter of actor, dancer and singer Buddy Ebsen. Talking with Kiki was a real joy. One of the true joys of doing this podcast is to not only learn about the most known parts of being a child of a celebrity but the more, unlikely one's as well. What do we mean? Well, of course we hear about The Beverly Hillbillies, The Wizard of Oz and Barnaby Jones. But how many other podcasts ask the tough questions, like, “What kind of car did Buddy drive?” Not many but we hear about it on this episode. We also learn about Kiki's musical career as a road dog for the likes of Tracy Chapman, Chicago and Al Jarreau as well as her latest endeavor, her tribute to her father, My Buddy, The Other Side of Oz, which we saw and loved after recording this podcast. Along the way we discuss Walt Disney, the Tin Man, Davy Crockett, Matt Houston and what a fantastic person, actor Lee Meriwether was. That being said, was I the only one who didn't realize that Buddy Ebsen was a dancer and a good one? Or that he and his sister/dance partner were discovered by newsman Walter Winchell during the Roosevelt administration? Whoa. So sit back, take a listen to Kiki Ebsen on this episode and learn more about Buddy Ebsen than you thought possible. Everyone has a story.
From December 26, 2023: The Supreme Court during World War II issued some of the most notorious opinions in its history, including the Japanese exclusion case, Korematsu v. United States, and the Nazi saboteur military commission case, Ex parte Quirin. For a fresh take on these and related cases and a broader perspective on the Supreme Court during World War II, Jack Goldsmith sat down with Cliff Sloan, a professor at Georgetown Law Center and a former Special Envoy for Guantanamo Closure, to discuss his new book, which is called “The Court at War: FDR, His Justices, and the World They Made.” They discussed how the Court's decisions during World War II were informed by the very close personal bonds of affection that most of the justices had with President Roosevelt and by the justices' intimate attachment to and involvement with the war effort. They also discussed the fascinating internal deliberations in Korematsu, Quirin, and other momentous cases, and the puzzle of why the same court that issued these decisions also, during the same period, issued famous rights-expanding decisions in the areas of reproductive freedom, voting rights, and freedom of speech.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

As president, Theodore Roosevelt pursued a progressive agenda. He worked to break up the monopolies of the Gilded Age, created a federal agency to inspect food and medicine, and fought to preserve public lands. But he believed everyone had a responsibility to fight for progress. In perhaps his most famous speech, he urged people to “get in the arena” and make a difference. Today, Lindsay is joined by Edward O'Keefe to talk about the roots of Roosevelt's progressivism and his many achievements during his time in office. O'Keefe is CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation and author of The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt: The Women Who Created A President.

In 1909, William Howard Taft entered the White House, pledging to preserve and expand the Progressive policies of his predecessor Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt, in turn, promised to stay out of politics. But over the next year, a controversy at the Department of the Interior convinced Roosevelt that his legacy was under threat. Soon, he would reenter the political arena, sparking a bitter struggle for control of the Republican party.Roosevelt stirred the public with a bold agenda known as the “New Nationalism.” But Taft wasn't his only adversary. As the 1912 election got underway, New Jersey Democrat Woodrow Wilson entered the fray with an alternative vision of Progressive reform.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt discharged 167 soldiers of the all-Black 25th Infantry stationed in Brownsville, Texas. The men were accused of shooting up the town. But there was little evidence to prove their guilt. Roosevelt's decision sparked outcry among Black activists and revealed the limits of his campaign to build a more fair and just society.But Black Americans refused to stand on the sidelines of the Progressive movement. In the aftermath of a deadly race riot in Springfield, Illinois, W. E. B. Du Bois and other activists formed a new national organization to fight racial prejudice, the N.A.A.C.P.
