Welcome to this explosive edition of Light ‘Em Up!In these critical and delicate times that we find ourselves in — democracy is in clear and present danger.As nothing feels certain or safe and everything appears to be in “transition” we interrogate and examine the Trump Administration and its efforts to suspend the “great writ” of Habeas corpus.Habeas corpus is a legal doctrine whose original purpose was to contest detention by the king. The origins of the writ, or “written order” (its Latin name means, loosely, “produce the body”), can be traced to 13th century England.On June 15, 1215, at Runnymede, the barons who had banded together to impose legal restrictions on King John's power forced him to affix his seal to the Magna Carta.One of its curbs on the sovereign's power reads, in part, “No free man shall be seized or imprisoned…except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land.”The writ of habeas corpus appears in the U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 9, clause 2 includes this single sentence: “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”Habeas corpus requires a jailer to produce a prisoner in a court of law so the basis for detention can be reviewed. The Constitution presupposes this right, but its use has been sharply restricted during past wars.Fast forward to the present, as Donald Trump continues on his “revenge tour” — his administration has shown itself to be big on conducting legal proceedings without due process for the defendants it pursues, just as George W. Bush did with “enemy combatants” at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, post 9-11.The Trump White House continues to break things like “Wreck it Ralph”— and has floated the idea of suspending Habeas corpus in the context of an “alien invasion” as it pertains to immigration, sparking widespread and grave concerns about the erosion of fundamental rights and the separation of powers.With mass deportations taking place without due process and the suspension of Habeas corpus, the rule of law and democracy itself is under a serious threat.While the Constitution allows for the suspension of Habeas corpus in cases of rebellion or invasion where the public safety is at stake, it is a power that must be exercised sparingly and only in extraordinary circumstances. Circumstances that we clearly are NOT in.With this probing, penetrating and pointed look … we ask out loud if we are on a collision course with the tyranny that brought about a coup d' état in Chile in 1973, where the military ousted then President Allende, General Agusto Pinochet seized power, democracy collapsed and repression, murder and great suffering followed (all backed and funded by the US CIA & State Department in the Nixon administration).As we challenge you to think critically, we probe further, examining the historical suspension of Habeas corpus, we think you'll be surprised to hear that one of the Presidents considered to be the “GOAT” (greatest of all time) suspended the writ of Habeas corpus, and we'll deliver the facts not the fiction surrounding this.We'll itemize some of the “pitfalls” and potential terrible consequences of decisions such as this, as we've learned through a FOIA request that the FBI has ordered its agents to scale back white-collar crime investigations to pursue more immigration crime instead.The rule of law and democracy are endangered!Previous Supreme Courts have held in reverence and referred to Habeas corpus as, “the fundamental instrument for safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary and lawless state action.”The current Supreme Court has been at best tepid in its support and defense of the U.S. ConWe want to hear from you!

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen  The stock market feels more complex than ever—rising inflation, shifting interest rates, and non-stop headlines can rattle even the most seasoned investors. If you want to cut through the noise and build a long-term investing strategy that works, you'll want to hear directly from professionals who have navigated everything from market booms to bear cycles. This episode of Inspired Money brings together four leading investment minds to share real-world tactics, mindsets, and frameworks for surviving—and thriving—over the long haul. Meet the Expert Panelists David Stein is the founder of Money for the Rest of Us and a former institutional investment strategist who managed billions in assets as Chief Portfolio Strategist at FEG Investment Advisors. He now educates individuals through his top-ranked podcast, best-selling book, and investment tools platform Asset Camp, helping investors build resilient portfolios with confidence and clarity. https://moneyfortherestofus.com  https://assetcamp.com      Mariko Gordon, CFA, CFP® is the CEO of Uzume LLC, where she provides financial planning and consulting services to individuals and families. She previously founded and built Daruma Capital Management into a $2.5 billion firm with a distinctive, non-traditional approach to investing. With over 30 years of experience as a small-cap stock picker, she now helps clients navigate personal finance, entrepreneurship, and life transitions, drawing from her deep expertise in business, investing, and her multicultural heritage.  https://marikogordon.com https://www.uzumellc.com   Mike Taylor is the Lead Portfolio Manager of the Simplify Health Care ETF (PINK), the first 100% pro bono ETF with all net profits benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation. With over two decades of experience managing long/short healthcare equity portfolios at firms like Citadel, Millennium, and Diamondback Capital, Mike is widely recognized for running one of Wall Street's top-performing healthcare hedge funds.  https://www.simplify.us   Chris Wang, Managing Partner and Director of Research at Runnymede Capital Management, previously held roles as a research analyst and Assistant Portfolio Manager at TIAA-CREF. With over two decades of experience, Chris is known for Runnymede's unwavering integrity and distinguished track record in safeguarding clients' assets during turbulent financial times.  www.runnymede.com  Key Highlights: Building Resilient Portfolios David emphasizes the importance of asset allocation and diversification rather than focusing solely on picking individual stocks. By thinking like an endowment and blending global equities, bonds, and real assets, even individual investors can manage risk over time. He suggests, “As individuals, we can't just naively invest in the S&P 500 and hope things will go well… Our job is to understand the drivers and manage more like an institution.” Investing vs. Gambling Mariko draws a clear line between investing and speculation: investing has a positive expected return and is grounded in a long-term horizon and strong fundamentals, while gambling is driven by short-term bets and speculation. Her practical advice: “Do it for 10% of your portfolio and learn from your mistakes… Put most of your money elsewhere.” Adapting to Market Realities Mike shares that success in the market isn't about being right most of the time, but about surviving your mistakes and adapting. He reveals that the best hedge fund managers aren't right every day, but consistently compound small advantages: “The difference between a manager who's good versus great is literally 3% of days up more. And that, compounded, is your return.”  Staying Rational in Volatile Markets Chris highlights the importance of sticking to a disciplined, research-driven strategy—and knowing when to be aggressive or defensive based on business cycles. Emotional investing and impulsive changes hurt performance. “Sometimes you just have to step away from the screen… avoiding the headlines and reading [only] on Sundays can help you keep perspective,” he says. Call-to-Action So here's your assignment for the week: Take 15 minutes and review your current investments. Ask yourself: Am I clear on why I own each holding? If you can't answer that confidently, dig in. Is it a value play? A growth opportunity? A dividend payer? Or something you heard about on social media?  Clarity is the first step toward confidence — and confident investors stay the course.  Find the Inspired Money channel on YouTube or listen to Inspired Money in your favorite podcast player.

The assisted dying bill is about to undergo detailed scrutiny by the Public Bill Committee - a group of 23 MPs tasked with reviewing the Bill's text and proposing amendments to refine and improve it. But what exactly happens during this amendment process? Former House of Commons Clerk, Paul Evans CBE, breaks it down. Plus, we hear from Dr Ben Spencer MP, a former consultant psychiatrist turned parliamentarian, who has proposed dozens of amendments to the Bill.This week, Ruth is joined by procedural expert Paul Evans to break down the role and purpose of a Public Bill Committee. They explore how amendments are proposed, the rules that determine which amendments are admissible, and the grouping and selection of amendments for debate and decision. Paul explains the pivotal role played by the Committee chair in making fine procedural and political judgements and the mechanisms like ‘closure' motions that keep the process moving and guard against filibustering. What is the Government's role in this process. While officially neutral, Ministers have a ‘duty to the statute book'. So, will they step in to propose amendments, or will that responsibility fall to the Bill's sponsor, Kim Leadbeater MP? Plus, we explore the tactical side of law making: is it smarter to push amendments now, or save them for the next stage when the Bill returns to the full Commons for the Report stage? We also sit down with Dr Ben Spencer MP, the Conservative MP for Runnymede and Weybridge. He voted against the Bill at Second Reading and discusses why he thinks the Private Members' Bill process is not the right route for this complex legislation. Despite his opposition to the Bill, and although he's not a member of the Public Bill Committee, he has nonetheless tabled several dozen amendments. One of his key proposals? The creation of a new body — the Assisted Dying Agency — to oversee the process. He shares why he's pursuing these amendments, how he's crafting them, and how he hopes to influence the Bill's progress from outside the Committee room.

 On this episode, we discuss books with kings and queens, one of the prompts on the Summer-Fall Books & Bites Bingo reading challenge. Our picks include a page-turning history of the Magna Carta; a novel about Mary, Queen of Scots; and a YA novel that imagines an American royal family. Michael's PickMagna Carta: The Birth of Liberty by Dan JonesDan Jones crafts a historical narrative that is compelling and as close to a page turner a book of history can be. Over 800 years ago, at Runnymede in England, the Magna Carta was born out of a bunch of very angry barons and King John I coming to terms of peace after a serious fraying of relations with each other. Since that day in 1215, the Magna Carta has come to influence countless constitutions across the world and is still seen as a cornerstone of Western traditions of liberty and democracy. Pairing: Spit Roasted or Grilled Steak, a medieval recipe featured on the British Museum's blog.Carrie's PickThe Tower by Flora CarrIt's 1567 when this debut historical fiction novel opens, and Mary, Queen of Scots has just been captured and taken to Lochleven Castle, where she will remain imprisoned for about a year. The novel takes place over the course of this year, mostly in the two rooms Mary shares with three other women: her chambermaids, Jane and Cuckoo and, later, one of her ladies-in-waiting, Lady Mary Seton.If you enjoy lyrical, character-driven novels with a strong sense of place and history, lock yourself away with The Tower. Pairing: Dried Pears, a comforting and shelf-stable treat fit for a queenJacqueline's PickAmerican Royals by Katharine McGeeThe premise of this young adult novel imagines what would have happened if America had become a monarchy after gaining independence from England. The novel is set in the present day, and the story follows the royal family of America, who are the descendants of George Washington.If you are fascinated by the history of English Royal family, you might like this series.Pairing: Homemade Cherry Pie, an all-American dessert.

Magna Carta is one of the most enduring documents from the Middle Ages. Reluctantly signed by King John at Runnymede in 1215, it forever changed society and politics in Britain, and the rest of the world. Magna Carta has been credited with inspiring the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, and providing the basis for democracy across the globe. But what does Magna Carta actually say? What events led to its creation? And how has it changed the world today? This is a Short History Of Magna Carta. Written by Lindsay Galvin.

This week, The Musafir Stories speaks to Ayush Kumar, solo traveller and photographer as he takes us to the hill town of Coonoor in Tamil Nadu! Today's destination: Coonoor, Tamil NaduNearest Airport: Coimbatore International Airport - CJBNearest Railway Station: Coonoor Railway Station (ONR)Prerequisites - N/APacking - Pack warm clothes, depending on the time of the yearTime of the year - Summers (March to May) and winters (October to February) are ideal time to visitLength of the itinerary: 3-5 daysItinerary Highlights: Ayush takes us to the quaint little hill town of Coonoor on the podcast today - we begin the journey on the historic UNESCO World Heritage Site, Nilgiri Mountain Railway or popularly known as the toy train. The train runs from Mettupalayam to Udhagamandalam or Ooty, making stops at several beautiful stations, including Coonoor. Make sure to book the tickets well in advance as the demand is very high during the tourist season! The toy train runs 3 times a day between Ooty and Mettupalayam, and is one of the steepest lines that is run on a narrow gauge rail line supported on a rack and pinion mechanism. The journey takes about 5 hours, and is one of the few lines that still runs on a steam engine (for a part of the journey). Other stations in the journey include Runnymede, Ketti, Hillgrove, Lovedale and Wellington. The railway line has also been featured in a number of popular movies including the SRK/Mailaika song “Chaiyya Chaiyya” and Kamal Hasan/Sridevi starrer Sadma. The Nilgiri biosphere is also an ecological hotspot that is teeming with wildlife and hundreds of species of flora and fauna. The western ghat formation is believed to be at least 150million years old, making this a significant part of the Indian subcontinent. After enjoying the train ride, Ayush covers off the touristy places in Coonoor including Sim's Park, Lamb's Rock and Dolphin's nose to get a view of the beautiful Catherine Waterfalls.

Episode details: The British Library, Oct 11, 2020 The murder of George Floyd in the US reverberated around the world.
