In diesen beiden Folgen ist Michael Seelig zu Gast und lädt, wie schon in der letzten Folge, zum Verweilen im Wendland ein. Seelig erzählt von der historischen Offenheit und Willkommenskultur im Wendland, die aus dem Widerstand gegen die Atomkraft entstanden ist, aber auch von der Revitalisierung der ländlichen Region. So hat der Ausbau der Glasfaserinfrastruktur den Zuzug junger Menschen erleichtert, Herausforderungen wie fehlender Wohnraum und eingeschränkte Mobilität bleiben aber bestehen. Seelig organisiert Designcamps zur regionalen Transformation durch Design, dabei geht es also darum, mithilfe von Designmethoden die regionale Wirtschaft und Identität zu stärken. Im zweiten Teil spricht er über Konzepte wie “Region als Campus”, um Hochschulen mit regionalen Fragestellungen zu betrauen und in regionale Entwicklungsprozesse einzubinden.

What it takes to develop as a leader.Great leaders and great communicators aren't born, they're made. That's why John Hennessy and Tina Seelig, directors of Stanford University's Knight-Hennessy Scholars, are working to create the great storytellers of tomorrow, today."We decided that there was a leadership void, and that was a driving motivation to do this," says Hennessy, former Stanford president and current Alphabet chairman. The program, which he co-founded in 2016 with Stanford alum and Nike co-founder Phil Knight, equips scholars with essential leadership skills through hands-on experience and collaborative problem-solving.Seelig, executive director of the program, emphasizes that great leadership centers on effective storytelling. "No matter how compelling your invention, your idea, the thing you want to do in the world, if you can't communicate it in [an] effective way, nobody's going to listen," she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Hennessy, Seelig, and host Matt Abrahams explore what it takes to develop as a leader, discussing the role of communication, the power of empathy, and the centrality of storytelling.Episode Reference Links:Stanford Biography: John L Hennessy Tina Seelig: WebsiteStanford Profile: Tina Seelig Knight-Hennessy ScholarsLeading Matters PodcastEp.155 Can We Be Candid?

Vi släpper här det första av två förinspelade avsnitt med anledning av att historiepoddsfamiljen blir en medlem större. Och vad passar bättre för att fira en ny liten människa än en berättelse om en gammal liten människa?Robert Walser var en schweizisk författare som i början av 1900-talet nådde modesta framgångar i Berlins kulturvärld. Han var lite av en Kafka innan Kafka. Men Robert Walser hade svårt med såväl pengar som mental hälsa. För att komma runt kraven på skrivandet uppfann han ”mikroskriften”. Hela noveller skrevs i täta miniatyrkrumelurer på visitkort och blad från almanackor.Först i modern tid har Walser åter hittat nya läsare. Och med det människor som vigt sina liv till att översätta de pappersarken. Det här är berättelsen om det minsta av alla missförstådda genier.

Han skrev oläsligt små texter i blyerts och influerade både Kafka och Musil. Niklas Qvarnström tecknar ett porträtt av den schweiziske författaren Robert Walser. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad den 11 september 2019. I Robert Walsers allra första roman från 1907 – ”Syskonen Tanner” hade den hetat om den översatts till svenska – finns en scen som ett knappt halvsekel senare skulle ges en spöklik relief i juldagssnön i utkanten av den schweiziska staden Herisau. Det av syskonen Tanner som påminner mest om författaren, den unge dagdrivaren och daglönaren Simon, är ute på en spatsertur i ett av de eviga vinterlandskap som gång på gång återkommer hos Walser – som blanksidor där läsarens tankar kan sjunka in och nästan lämna synliga små avtryck. På väg uppför en bergssluttning får Simon syn på en man som ligger utsträckt bland tallarna i snön. En alltför tunt klädd man, med hatten snett över ansiktet som om han låg och tog igen sig en varm sommardag. Inga spår i snön avslöjar hur han har kommit dit, och vandraren inser att mannen är död och legat där länge. Han lyfter bort hatten och känner genast igen den döde. Det är den unge diktaren Sebastian, som drömt om att dra sig tillbaka från världen för att leva ”som en japansk munk”. Också Robert Walser skulle komma att dra sig tillbaka från den offentlighet där han gästspelat under nittonhundratalets första decennier: som författare till en rad romaner och novellsamlingar som ignorerades av den läsande allmänheten och de litterära institutionerna. Från och med 1929 drog han sig tillbaka från världen i stort, och tillbringade de sista tjugoåtta åren av sitt liv på mentalsjukhus. ”Vår tids kloster”, som en av Walsers mest passionerade beundrare, Nobelpristagaren Elias Canetti, kallade dem. Canettis beundran var så stor att han ska ha fantiserat om att BLI den schweiziske författaren från Biel – vars målsättning för egen del med tiden verkar ha sammanfallit med den hos huvudpersonen i hans mest berömda roman, ”Jacob von Gunten” från 1909. Den inleds med orden: ”Man lär sig mycket litet här, det saknas lärare, och vi pojkar på Benjamentainstitutet kommer inte att bli någonting, det vill säga vi kommer alla att bli något mycket litet och underordnat senare i livet.” Benjamentainstitutet är en litterärt tillspetsad variant av den betjäntskola Walser gått på i Berlin 1905. En kort tid senare tog han plats som betjänt på slottet Danbrau i Oberschlesien, där han i lackskor och guldglänsande frack gick under namnet ”Monsieur Robert”. Precis som för Simon Tanner, som hittade den döde diktaren i snön, blev de korta anställningarna därefter många. Ofta fick de bidra med miljöer till små förabsurdistiska dramer i prosaform som i synnerhet Kafka skulle stå i uttalad skuld till. Men från och med 1933 är allt en enda stor snövit blanksida. I och med att den 55-årige författaren, med den diskutabla diagnosen schizofreni, förflyttades från en öppnare anstalt i Bern till en mer sluten i Herisau lade han ner pennan för gott. Blyertspennan. Att skriva rent i bläck, för insändande av manuskript till de förlag som tröttnat på att hålla hans osålda böcker i lager eller de tidningar han inte längre kunde verka i efter att nazisterna jagat redaktörerna på flykten, hade han vid det laget redan slutat med. Åt läkarna som ställt skrivdon till hans förfogande fräser han: ”Jag har inte kommit hit för att skriva. Jag har kommit hit för att vara galen!” Åren dessförinnan hade han förfinat vad han kallade sin ”blyertsmetod”. Han tog första bästa papperslapp – ett reklamblad, en teaterbiljett eller baksidan av ett telegram – och fyllde de vita områdena med knappt millimeterhöga bokstäver i en snirklig frakturliknande handstil. Efter sig lämnade han inte mycket mer än en skokartong. Den innehöll 526 fullklottrade blad. Länge togs de som ett utslag av den galenskap han blivit inlagd för. Pyttesmå svårtydbara tecken, upprepade i prydliga rader eller slingrande mönster till synes för sin egen skull – en monoman syssla som inte är ovanlig bland en del schizofrena. Det var först under åttiotalet, när litteraturvetarna Werner Morlang och Bernhard Echte påbörjade sitt arbete med att dechiffrera texterna, som de visade sig utgöra fullt begripliga och därtill fullkomligt utsökta prosastycken, dikter och minidramer – skrivna i Walsers omisskännliga, på en gång artiga och drastiska stil. När de båda kryptograferna var färdiga i slutet av nittiotalet resulterade deras mödor i över 1800 boksidor av dessa så kallade mikroskrifter. Walser har kallats den ultimata försvinningskonstnären. Lika gåtfull och pytteliten som sina blyertsbokstäver. Man måste använda förstoringsglas för att han ska träda fram. Och det är svårt att inte se en parallell mellan mikroskrifterna och Walsers roll i litteraturhistorien. Sedd från långt håll verkar den närmast obefintlig, men vid närmare granskning framträder han som den hemliga ingrediensen i flera av de långt mer berömda författarskap han influerat – inte bara Kafkas, utan även Robert Musils och Hermann Hesses för att bara nämna några. Mikroskrifterna har i två olika omgångar givits ut på svenska, översatta av den outtröttlige Peter Handberg. Först i den ena av två volymer som bokförlaget Symposion gav ut 2001, under den odiskutabla titeln ”Att vi lever i en ond värld”. Därefter, våren 2019, på det lika filosofiskt inriktade förlaget Faethon, under en titel som i få ord sammanfattar så mycket av Walsers humor och livshållning: ”Betydande människor kallar mig ett barn”. Samtidigt gav förlaget ut Handbergs översättningar av kortromanen ”Promenaden” från 1917 – och ”Vandringar med Robert Walser” från 1957 av vännen och sedermera förmyndaren Carl Seelig. Walser älskade att röra sig. Gå. Spatsera. Promenera. Vandra. I ur och skur. Mil efter mil. Gärna i snö, med en trådsliten hatt som Seelig inte vågar anmärka på av risk att fördärva hans morgonhumör – sedan de 1936 börjat vandra tillsammans, så ofta de får tillåtelse av sjukhusledningen och åtminstone varje söndag. De äter och dricker gott på den ditreste välgörarens bekostnad, och Robert Walser strör citatvänliga omdömen om litteratur och livet och till och med politik omkring sig. På andra sidan Bodensjön rasar snart kriget. Den tystnade författaren viker kuvert och klistrar påsar mellan utflykterna. Kriget tar slut. Så på juldagen 1956 snör han på sig kängorna efter en rikt tilltagen lunch för att bege sig ut på vandring. Carl Seelig har fått förhinder. Hans dalmatiner Ajax är sjuk. Han vill inte lämna hunden ensam och har skjutit upp nästa besök från jul till nyår. Men ingenting kan stå emellan den 78-årige patienten och hans enda egentliga källa till glädje, och snart är han omgiven av nyfallen snö. ”Detta snölandskap önskar jag mig vackert”, står det i en av hans mikroskrifter. Den fortsätter: ”Förhoppningsvis utfaller det också så. Det var alldeles färskt, med en viss mjukhet var snön fortfarande av tillräcklig hårdhet. Inom mig ser det nu dygdesamt ut.” Ute på samma fält där han långfredagen året före vandrat med Carl Seelig faller han ihop. Läkarna ska senare konstatera att han drabbats av en dödlig hjärtinfarkt. På polisfotografierna kan man se spåren i snön som lett honom fram till hans sista fotsteg. Den trådslitna hatten vilar visserligen inte över ansiktet som på diktaren Sebastian i hans första roman; den ligger en halvmeter från kroppen. Vänsterarmen är utsträckt. Det ser ut som om han börjat göra en snöängel, redo att lätta från marken. Dygdesamt. Niklas Qvarnström/författare och kritiker

One of the most enjoyable and rewarding aspects of hosting and running a podcast is when a guest you have just interviewed feels seen, heard and believed. And it is from that place of belonging that he or she so enthusiastically says, “Oh, you know who you should have on your show…” And another bridge is built to another human I wouldn't have met otherwise. Well, this past week, I got to meet one of those incredible humans. David Watson, a former guest once said to me, “You have to interview Tim Seelig for the podcast.” And boy, was David right. This is one of those stories I didn't know I needed to hear to heal. Tim Seelig is the former Director of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus and has lived and witnessed historic change in his personal and professional life. Tim is a father, grandfather, author, a speaker, a performer, a conductor, a mentor, a coach and most importantly a friend and lifesaver to a great many humans on this Earth. Tim even won an Emmy for Best Documentary titled After Goodbye: An AIDS Story. This hour flew by and it was so what my heart and soul needed. It was a true honor to spend time in the presence of a modern elder and mystic who reminds us of the power of creativity and connection, and how it saves lives. Thank you, Tim for joining the show and thank you David for the connection.

Dat de aarde plat is en zich onder een koepel bevindt is een bekend voorbeeld van een complotverhaal. Om te begrijpen hoe het geloof hierin tot stand komt, is het belangrijk om aanhangers van dit verhaal te spreken en waar kan dat beter dan op het internationale congres voor Flat Earthers (mensen die geloven dat de aarde plat is)? In deze aflevering bespreken we een wetenschappelijk artikel dat - op basis van de ervaringen van één van de auteurs op dit congres (en zijn interactie met de aanwezigen) - met belangrijke inzichten komt om richting te geven aan het onderzoek naar (het geloof in) complotverhalen. We hebben hier zoveel over te vertellen dat we volgende week vrolijk verder gaan met deel 2. Onderzoek: Dr. Anita Eerland, prof.dr.

And I'm your host, Kimberly Hobbs. I'm the founder of Women World Leaders. And we are so happy that you tuned in today. Today I'd love to welcome our guest, Jane Goldie Winn from Delray Beach, Florida welcome, Jane. Jane "Goldie" Winn Thank you, Kimberly, thank you for having me on your podcast today and welcome to all the listeners. Kimberly Hobbs Yes, amen. And Goldie's is going to speak today about hope and encouragement, we all need a little bit of hope and encouragement, right? And she shares her story today. Ladies, our desire to have you here is to strengthen and encourage each other in the name of Jesus to walk together to empower one another, to find your beautiful purpose in Jesus and serving Him. God is working in you ladies. He's giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. That's actually a scripture verse in Philippians 213 He gives us that desire to Run after Him and serve Him with all our heart. And it's our hopes that as you listen to these podcasts, that you will be inspired by something that you hear that will allow you to move in that direction, to run after God to seek Him with all your heart and to serve Him because He is amazing. He is the God of exceedingly abundantly beyond what we could ever ask for. So as we talk with Goldie today, and she shares her incredible story about abortion, she wants to deliver that message of there is hope beyond shame and guilt and the things that we sometimes carry because of our past. So I want to tell you a little bit about Miss Goldie when. Today she is a published author. She is a client advocate in a pregnancy resource clinic in South Florida, where she counsels abortion determined clients in the throes of decision making and hoping that she can pour some love and light into their situation. She speaks at churches and congregations and shares her testimony of transformation from a hippie to a princess. When the devastation of a second trimester abortion drove this young Jewish hippie into darkness and despair. She shares about the hope and encouragement of how she broke free from the stronghold of her past. And that's exactly what we love doing here on empowering lives with purpose because we all have pasts. And how did you overcome that? How did Jesus find you where you were? And Goldie's incredible life story is titled rainbow in the night. And she has a 20 year redemption journey which is now in the process of being made into a movie. She has a book that's written on it. She's Goldie is also a Messianic Jew. She has been married to her soulmate Dave since 1974. And together they reside in South Florida. So Goldie as we begin right now, I would love for you to share a little bit about that past and abortion story and what you had gone through as a young, hippie girl, just finding her way, right and life. Jane "Goldie" Winn Yes, well, if you watched Forrest Gump, I would have been a little bit like Jenny, what can I tell you? But anyway, just to give some backstory, I grew up in a small Midwestern town in Independence, Iowa, about 5000 people. And my father was a psychiatrist, a very renowned psychiatrists. He came he was asked to be the superintendent in 1958. And when he arrived, there were 1100 patients. And it was a very formidable structure and a very interesting childhood to grow up in this hospital setting. There were 500 employees. And I remember when we first drove up to the hospital, my father's first words were, what did I get myself into? I have to get these bars off the windows. This is terrible. And so my father ended up doing amazing things for that hospital and in the field of psychiatry, but behind closed doors, he was very different. And unfortunately, he was physically and emotionally abusive mostly to my older sister and somewhat to me, and it was very hard because, you know, we lived right in the administration building, and we would have to go down this winding beautiful winding staircase into the lobby, and every time we would go to the lobby, the entire staff would stand up and respect from my father. Wow, a patriot Americans so well respected. So it was very confusing for me growing up in two worlds feeling like I had to, you know, keep everything literally behind closed doors and try to bridge those worlds together. So unfortunately, when I went away to college, I'd never really dated anyone because, again, living in Independence, I will, there are no Jewish people. And my father didn't want me to marry outside the faith. So it kept me away from being able to date anyone. But when I arrived on campus, Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa in 1967, I was a music major, and it was when the hippie thing was just getting off the ground. And when I was approached about it, you know, free love sex, drugs, rock and roll, I figured I had nothing to lose, because I really didn't have any identity. And I wanted to be accepted and liked by so many people. So I did get involved in it, unfortunately, and fast forwarding the story did take 20 years to complete my book, because I had to work through a lot of issues to get to the other side, before I could write about it from a place of freedom and hope. But I got embroiled in that lifestyle. And one thing led to the other and I found myself pregnant. And it was in 1970, before Roe vs. Wade, although abortion was legal in some states, and one such state was California and I was going to school in Michigan at the time, I had transferred to work in major music therapy. And I just I was living in a hippie commune. And I just thought, There's no way I could have this baby, my father would, I can't even imagine what he would do. Like he disowned my sister for marrying a Catholic. So you can only imagine him he ended up accepting her back after two and a half years. But I didn't want that kind of rejection. So I just had to have an abortion. And unfortunately, I went into denial. And I waited a little too long. They told me it was a blob of tissue. And I believed it because there was no ultrasound or anything like that. So I ended up having to go to the hospital in San Diego was which was where I went. And, and actually, I remember, at the time, you know, I just didn't know what to expect. But because I was so far along, I was well into my second trimester and had no idea because I didn't have any symptoms, I was 70 pounds heavier, mostly because I was doing drugs. But I guess the pregnancy contributed as well. But I didn't have any symptoms. So it's easy to go into denial. But I remember they did, sadly, the saline solution abortion and then I was brought into a room and I was told to just press a button when the when the baby stopped kicking. So right then and there, it dawned on me that it was a baby. So unfortunately, when I had to deliver the baby, and the nurse had said, Oh, you would have had a perfect baby boy. But because that was so traumatic. I didn't know the Lord back then it went down into denial, which is the most basic of all psychological defenses. And I did not remember it until 27 years later, when I was working in a pregnancy center as a counselor and had to go through post abortion, healing and recovery. And it was there that I got in touch with a full awareness of the abortion. And I just thought I would never stop crying. I thought, you know, that baby because I talk a little bit later about how I came to know Jesus. But at that moment, you know, just having to accept that that baby died because I made that decision was horrific. So through the Bible study, forgiven and set free, I was able to come to the other side of it. And it's hard for women who've had abortions to forgive themselves. So I had to forgive myself. And then I had to accept God's forgiveness. And at the end, we have a memorial service, we're able to name our babies. And I named my baby Samuel, which in the Jewish religion, if you have a son, you name him after your father's first initial, which was Seelig. And so I named him Samuel. And at the very end, they gave, you know, like a certificate. And when I went home, I remember my husband and I don't have children. That's part of our story. But when I came home, and I showed him the certificate, he said, I would like to adopt your baby. So that didn't happen, we will have a child together. And that's the kind of nice Yes, I know he's so special, my true soulmate. And you know, and I was just like, so that's, you know, pretty much the actual story, but the Lord has redeemed it in many ways, which we'll talk about in a minute. But I'm just to be able to share this, this story to bring hope to other women that you know, healing is possible. Forgiveness Is Possible redemption, you know, and the most uses everything in our lives, everything for his greater purposes. Kimberly Hobbs He does everything. And that's a scripture that I just, the Lord says, I Yes, I alone will blot out your sins for my own sake, and I will never think of them again. Isaiah 4325. And even though in that moment didn't, you didn't understand you didn't know what was happening. You know it. God removes that from you and look at your story, Goldie, it is just I mean, I my ears, my eyes started tearing up, my heart was pounding and I had goosebumps at the same time like, that is just amazing how God allowed you to go through the healing process. But he tells us there is forgiveness for all of us who repent. Luke 2447 says that, right? So there is hope, ladies, there's hope for our past mistakes, yours may not be abortion, it may be something else that has been just traumatizing you for years and years and you've not been able to release it. There is hope for you. Because God says there is forgiveness of sins for all of us who repent, and then he makes a way to move forward. So Goldie, what, what it seems now that, you know, guilt would follow you forever. It didn't you said and you shared a little glimpse of that. So how did God redeem you, Goldie? Jane "Goldie" Winn Yeah, that's a great question, Kimberly. Well, he's just so amazing, you know, because again, you know, this Jewish girl, we were taught growing up, you know, never to believe in Jesus, because it's like way the Jews and they the Gentiles, and unfortunately, many Jewish people put Hitler in the category of Christians, you know, and my father did that. So it was just like, I could never even think about believing in Jesus, but the Lord again, in His mercy, you know, when we cry out to Him, you know, he has a way of coming to us. And I was, my husband and I had been, we met, and we were musicians right away. And we were touring with this band, and we're living in the Midwest. And, and I remember, I, all of a sudden, you know, something happened in my heart. And I just thought, I don't know if I can do this for the rest of my life. And I remember going outside one day, and I just fell on my face, and I cried out to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and he said, if you're real, please reveal Yourself to me. Otherwise, I want to die. And all of a sudden, I just felt this blanket of peace come over me. And it's not like I saw lightning or heard bolts of thunder, but I felt his peace. And then long story short, the Lord. I just decided I had to get out of that crazy lifestyle of singing to a bunch of drunks with a bunch of drunks, I couldn't handle it anymore. Dave stayed a little while longer. But I just felt like I wanted to do volunteer work. So I started working in a facility where there was a girl, you know, there and we were trying to help other kids not take drugs away. We did. And I was drawn to her because she had so much joy. And long story short, um, she invited Dave and I, we were living together at the time. We met in 1971. And she had invited us to this, what we now know, is a prayer meeting a Catholic charismatic prayer meeting with all kinds of denominations there, everything you can imagine from Lutheran to Presbyterian to you, you name it, they were there. And there was just I remember when we walked in, you know, we had our bell bottoms and our tie dyed shirts. And we didn't know if people would accept us, but they did immediately. And again, you know, when we were used to singing to drunks, and we saw these people who were worshipping, again, you know, their hands are raised to Jesus, and they were singing songs to Jesus, Dave and I looked at each other, like, what is this, but something was stirring in our heart. And we thought, maybe that's what we need, you know, we need God. So long story short, people came up to us and you know, just lovingly and kept inviting us back. And about the third prayer meeting, there was a priest and a nun who just basically invited Dave and I, to receive Jesus as our Messiah. And I thought, but I'm Jewish, and I don't know if I can do that. But they I thought to myself, What do I have to lose? I was just getting really depressed again, and just losing hope because of the lifestyle. So together August 4 1974, we got on our knees, we prayed to receive your shoe Oh, which is the Jewish name for Jesus. And they've been they've prayed to receive Jesus had been brought up Catholic. And at the moment, I came to pray that prayer I was filled with joy of the Lord totally filled with joy the Lord, because I was always depressed all my life. And so this was the sign that I needed in First Corinthians 122. You know, the Jew requires a sign. And I was given a word that day, Goldie, Your gift will be the gift of joy. And I was just filled with joy. And the Scripture is Second Corinthians 517. Therefore, if anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has passed away and all things have become new. And that's exactly what happened. I mean, I was just flooded with joy and peace. And you know, from that moment moment on our lives were never the same Dave and I knew we were living in sin, and we got married three months later, and we've been serving the Lord ever since. And I guess the way Kimberly, he totally redeemed it as now all these years later, I'm still, I started working in 1997 After I got my master's degree in social work in a Pregnancy Clinic, and I was, you know, counseling women and helping them. And then when we moved to Florida in 2011, the Lord led me to work in a Pregnancy Clinic here. And so now after helping women heal from abortion, which has been my heart for many years now I'm on the other side, helping women who are in the process of making decisions about their pregnancy, so I can use my abortion story to help them know that it's not the quick, easy fix, they think it is that there's a dark side to abortion. So he has totally redeemed my story over and over and over again. And my Wow, touch so many women, you know, who are still feeling the pain of their abortion because if he can free me, he can free them to Kimberly Hobbs Amen. Goldie, amen. God restored that joy to you. He gave you joy, the joy of your salvation, right? Yeah. So and also hope, hope to continue living in this world that gets us to go forward. And so you were living now beyond your shame and guilt that you carried you were redeemed is just so beautiful. And ladies, there's a scripture that says, hope in the Lord. For with the Lord there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows at Psalm 130, verse seven, ladies, you can be redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, which is Jesus Christ and inviting him into your heart, asking him for forgiveness of all of your past, your shame, your guilt, everything that you've held on to release it to him, and he is a God of forgiveness. So, Goldie, what now is God doing in your life that you have fully surrendered to Him? Which is so beautiful, and you're telling me what in our conversation prior to today that it took you 20 years to do something? So what is it in your life right now that God has moved you from, to in this life a full surrender to JESUS CHRIST share about that? Because it is pretty exciting? Jane "Goldie" Winn It's a great question. Yeah, I guess it has been a real process. I always say it's a process, not an event. And I think you know, the most important thing for me, Kimberly, was that I had to totally surrender my painful past to the Lord. And actually, I did that, I believe it was in 2015, right before my 65th birthday, because I was still aware that I was holding on to things and I wasn't totally free. You know. And John 836 says, you know, so the sunsets is free, you will be free indeed, right. And I needed that freedom. So I totally surrendered. I talked about it more specifically in the book, my painful past to the Lord. And right after I did that the Lord brought a publisher to me, I finished writing the book, it was published in Jan, I'm sorry, December 2019. And, maybe, and then we had COVID. So nothing much happened that year, that title of that book is, is rainbow in the night, a journey of redemption. Wonderful. And, and so that's really exactly what it is. Because, you know, it was like a dark rainbow that can only be seen like through, you know, time lapse photography. And really, it is a lunar rainbow. But as I began to get better, and the Lord began healing me all of the colors of that rainbow brightened. And that's why, you know, starts out to be a rainbow in the night. And then as my life, you know, was totally redeemed by the Lord and I was free. And He healed me from so much that I've found that those colors are so much brighter. And I can say to other people, and I love this scripture and Isaiah 45 Three, which says, I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches, hidden and secret places so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name, Isaiah 45. Three. And so I love that scripture. Isn't that powerful, whatever we have in our past, and he can just take that and redeem that. And then now currently, the book is being made into a movie rainbow in the night movie. Yay, guiding because I just feel during this time, we need hopeful, faith based movies. Yes, we do. I really know that if the Lord can do this for me, that's the vision for the movie. He can do it for you too. And that's my full purpose in doing the movie is just to bring hope and encouragement, that indeed if we will surrender the Lord will heal us from our painful past. Kimberly Hobbs So true, so true. And even even now in As you were writing and this book was coming out, I'm sure there was so much more healing in that book. Right? Yeah. And as you put it out, and you wrote with the Lord, and that came together, because there was no coincidence that you named it what you did. God gave you that name rainbow in the night and how you arrived at that, and that scripture again? Can you share that scripture one more time? Jane "Goldie" Winn Yes, Isaiah 45. Three, I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches, hidden and secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name, Isaiah 45, three. Kimberly Hobbs Wow, ladies, I pray that you will write that scripture down Isaiah 45, three for your own life, He will give you those treasures, right, those treasures that we think are just we don't, we can't even grasp them. Because we can't, our brain can't go there because we're so burdened by all the hurt and all the things that we have. But that Scripture is hope. That's true hope, right? And now look what God is doing. She took that step of faith surrendered her life, to Jesus. And now Goldie has taken this book, and God took it to another level to a movie. And this movie now has been it's going I mean, right now they're in the stages. So how Goldy can people find you just to be able to look at the movie, look at what's going on with the book, and maybe be prayer partners with you and just help as this movie is still coming to fruition? Right? We want to know how can we all connect with you and pray for you and praise this through because others need to hear this amazing story of hope and encouragement? Jane "Goldie" Winn Well, thank you, Kimberly. Yeah, if you go to my website, rainbow in the night movie.com, you will see all about my story all about the book. And there's a six minute movie demo that's been produced. And then the way it's being funded is much like the chosen the crowd funding. So the budget, because so many people are volunteering, and you know, some of them. It's amazing. So the total budget to produce the movie with reenactment scenes, and everything will be about 50,000. Well, my friends so far have raised 25,000. So we just need 25, more 1000, which is really not being in the Lord's Kingdom. And if you'd like to help right on the website, there's a button that says Donate now. And if you click on that you go to a nonprofit through the National Christian foundation, and you can give your donation and get a tax deductible receipt, and then know that you're going to be a co producer in this movie, because I believe that everybody who's given a donation, everybody who prays, and we have a huge dream team, I like to call it the Dream Team of so many people coming alongside and surrounding the whole project with love and prayers. We couldn't do that without prayer. So prayer is probably the most important. But again, you know, we would like to see it funded soon so that we can finish the production and get it out to the world, maybe, maybe by May, perhaps, of 2023. So that's our next goal. So praise the Lord. Kimberly Hobbs We will definitely join with you in prayer, Goldie, and as women listen, and who knows what God can do. And it just through the listening portion of this and like you said, I love that we all come together as women in Jesus that can understand each other. And that's how we we glean hope and encouragement from each other stories. And you do have a powerful story. And you know what it's like to be, you know, under that blanket burden, I shouldn't even say blanket because it's not a blanket, it's a burden. It's a sack of rocks that you carry of, you know, the past and but when we can all come together as women and help to point each other to Jesus to share where our hope lies. Our hope lies in Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for our sins. And there is freedom in forgiveness, as you said, we can be free in Christ Jesus. So can you pour that hope and encouragement into the listener right now Goldie that has dealt with trauma? And maybe it's abortion in her life? Maybe it's something else? Or maybe she knows somebody who's gone through it, but she's carrying part of that burden. Can you pour into her right now? Just a word of encouragement? Jane "Goldie" Winn Yes. And if anybody wants to reach out to me by email, it's on the website. I'd be happy to direct them if they need healing after an abortion, because that's really important. But the scripture that I really love is May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you may overflow Low with hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Romans 1513. And I think that kind of says it all. Because you know, it is all about hope. It's all about joy. It's all about knowing that only the Lord can do this. Because it can lift me up out of all that depression and bondage that I was under, he can do the same for you. And so you just have to be willing to come to the Lord and ask him, because anytime Jesus came up to anybody for healing, what did he say? He always asked the question, what do you want from me? Yes, to be able to come to him and tell him what you want? And he will answer because he did for me in a way, way beyond your Ephesians 320 Verse. exceedingly abundantly, what I could have ever hoped or imagined. So I know he can do the same for everyone who's listening right now, no matter what their situation, no Kimberly Hobbs matter what their situation, and, you know, Goldy you just kind of mentioned your age, when you were sharing about when the book came out, and about starting your surrender it at 65. And I'm like, wait a minute, do you do not look, you know, more than 65 years old, and I so I'm kind of doing the math in my head. But I, the Scripture that comes to my mind is God says I will be your God throughout your lifetime until your hair is white with age, ladies, it's never too late to start what God puts on your heart when you surrender to him. I mean, look at Goldie, she starts writing her book in her 60s for 20 years, God was putting it on her heart to do this. And then when she surrendered and started and he says, I made you and I will care for you, I will carry you along and save you. Isaiah 46:4 Jane "Goldie" Winn And the latter day shall be greater than the foreman Amen. That's right. Kimberly Hobbs That's right. And you are living that out and you are going to see this movie that God is going to bring to fruition and I will have prayer support for you and and to ever feels led to go to your website, Goldie and be part of this, it's it's a good thing. We need more of these movies that can touch the hearts of people change the hearts of people, to seek God with all their hearts, seek forgiveness, and be free from the bondage, right like began to go into the world and then be this shining light, just like coldy as this shining light for Jesus and I am so thankful to serve with you. And now Goldie is a in women world leaders, and she is writing one of her stories in Miracle mindset, a book that we have coming out through women, world leaders and, ladies, this is what it's all about. We would love for you to connect with us. You may have a story that you want to share with the world, you may be feeling nudged right now to do something, we have that opportunity in this ministry to serve the Lord with all your heart, it doesn't matter what your past is, as long as it's forgiven, right? If you've repented of what you've done, we serve a God that loves you that doesn't stop loving you forgives you, and wants to use you for your beautiful purpose that you were created, which is to glorify Him in every way. So please, ladies reach out to us, you might be a writer and one of our upcoming books will help you write. It's not that you have to be this famous author. No, you just have to give your yes to Jesus. And then we will step in and help you finish it. It's an amazing journey we go on with women together, and we have multiple books starting this year. So just reach out to us. You can reach out to me personally, at Kimberly at women world leaders.com. And just say I'm interested in sharing my story. And I will point you toward one of our books that is beginning and get you in there to start sharing with the world what God is doing in your life. And ladies, we just love you.

Host Karl chats with Jonathan Seelig. Jonathan Seelig is the Executive Chairman and Chief Evangelist of Ridge. He co-founded Ridge with the goal of building highly distributed cloud infrastructure, thereby enabling users to deploy cloud native applications on any infrastructure and in any location. He previously co-founded Akamai, the world's first and largest CDN. Jonathan has worked on distributed, low latency, high performance infrastructure for over 25 years. Description: With the rapidly increasing pace of digital transformation, many managed service providers (MSPs) and cloud service providers are at a crossroads: they need to decide how to best continue to support their customers as they continue to migrate to the cloud. While the hyperscale public cloud model is an attractive proposition for some customers, there are many existing and planned use cases and business models for which local data centers and MSPs can be a better fit. These businesses' cloud computing environments may be a blend of server types: on-premises, bare-metal, co-located, and distributed across multiple continents. No single cloud architecture with preset locations can offer them a consistently optimized level of application performance and deployment flexibility. Companies need a cloud provider that can customize a cloud for evolving business needs. Local cloud service providers and MSPs should therefore consider how they convert digital transformation into a home-field advantage. By integrating modern cloud-native services into their offering, in addition to their traditional services, they will offer a robust alternative to the large public cloud and will be in an excellent position to fulfill evolving customer needs. Today, Joanthan discusses some of the key benefits for managed service providers with existing cloud offerings to add modern cloud-native services to their existing portfolio, including: Monetize existing infrastructure Add new revenue streams Win business that will otherwise default to the public clouds Become the go-to service providers for emerging location dependent applications Ensure long-term customer retention Resources and Links: https://www.ridge.co/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/11808567/ https://www.youtube.com/c/RidgeCloud Sponsor Memo: SBTTC This podcast is sponsored by the Small Biz Thoughts Technology Community.

Stanford University is at the beating heart of Silicon Valley and has become almost a rite of passage for generations of entrepreneurs. But how does each generation form, and what skills and mindsets should they be equipped with given our changing world? No one has thought more about how to shape that entrepreneurial spirit than Dr. Tina Seelig. Seelig is the Executive Director of the prestigious Knight-Hennessy Scholars program at Stanford among many other leadership roles, and she is also the author of Creativity Rules: Get Ideas Out of Your Head and into the World as well as What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20. Joining Seelig is host Danny Crichton and Lux Capital partner Grace Isford. We talk about Seelig's class “Inventing the Future” and how she guides students in considering the utopian and dystopian aspects of the future technologies that are shaping our everyday lives. We also talk about generational differences between students over the past two decades, from the 9/11 generation to the global financial crisis and Covid-19 generations and how global events influence the approach of budding entrepreneurs. Then we walk through how to teach leadership, how to increase luck, and why there is such an important correlation between optimism and agency.

From Brattleboro to Newport and beyond, a crisis is brewing in the Green Mountains. Housing, especially affordable housing, is desperately hard to find.“The state would have to build a minimum of 5,800 homes and apartments by 2025, and more than triple that to address the broader affordability crisis,” Seven Days reported, noting that the growth of Vermont's housing stock has fallen to one third its 1980s levels. Solving the housing crisis is “going to take both public investment to bring the price down and it's also going to take less barriers in terms of our land use policies to get housing built,” said Gus Seelig, executive director of the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board.An unspoken driver of the affordable housing shortage, Seelig said, “has been the growth of income inequality as a key factor in leaving folks behind. … It doesn't take a lot of people coming to Vermont with a ton of money to have a big impact on the housing crisis.”We discussed the housing crisis and efforts to address it with Seelig and Elizabeth Bridgewater, executive director of the Windham and Windsor Housing Trust in Brattleboro.

Support the show and receive bonus episodes by becoming a Patreon producer over at: www.themidnighttrainpodcast.com Archives of terror Archivos del Terror were found on december 22, 1992 by a lawyer and human rights activist, strange how those two titles are in the same sentence, Dr. Martín Almada, and Judge José Agustín Fernández. Found in a police station in the suburbs of Paraguay known as Asunción. Fernandez was looking for files on a former prisoner. Instead, stumbled across an archive describing the fates of thousands of Latin Americans who had been secretly kidnapped, tortured, and killed by the security services of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay with the help of our friendly neighborhood CIA. Known as Operation Condor. “Operation Condor was a U.S. backed campaign of political repression and state terror involving intelligence operations and assassination of opponents.” Let's go back a ways toward the beginning. One day, a young guy, wanted to fuck up the world and created the CIA. JK… but not really. So we go back to 1968 where General Robert W. Porter said that "in order to facilitate the coordinated employment of internal security forces within and among Latin American countries, we are ... endeavoring to foster inter-service and regional cooperation by assisting in the organization of integrated command and control centers; the establishment of common operating procedures; and the conduct of joint and combined training exercises." According to former secret CIA documents from 1976, plans were developed among international security officials at the US Army School of the Americas and the Conference of American Armies in the 1960s and early 1970s to deal with perceived threats in South America from political dissidents, according to American historian J. Patrice McSherry. "In early 1974, security officials from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia convened in Buenos Aires to prepare synchronized attacks against subversive targets," according to a declassified CIA memo dated June 23, 1976. Following a series of military-led coups d'états, particularly in the 1970s, the program was established: General Alfredo Stroessner took control of Paraguay in 1954 General Francisco Morales-Bermúdez takes control of Peru after a successful coup in 1975 The Brazilian military overthrew the president João Goulart in 1964 General Hugo Banzer took power in Bolivia in 1971 through a series of coups A military dictatorship seized power in Uruguay on 27 June 1973 Chilean armed forces commanded by General Augusto Pinochet bombed the presidential palace in Chile on 11 September 1973, overthrowing democratically elected president Salvador Allende A military dictatorship headed by General Jorge Rafael Videla seized power in Argentina on 24 March 1976 According to American journalist A. J. Langguth, the CIA organized the first meetings between Argentinian and Uruguayan security officials regarding the surveillance (and subsequent disappearance or assassination) of political refugees in these countries, as well as its role as an intermediary in the meetings between Argentinian, Uruguayan, and Brazilian death squads. According to the National Security Archive's documentary evidence from US, Paraguayan, Argentine, and Chilean files, "Founded by the Pinochet regime in November 1975, Operation Condor was the codename for a formal Southern Cone collaboration that included transnational secret intelligence activities, kidnapping, torture, disappearance, and assassination." Several persons were slain as part of this codename mission. "Notable Condor victims include two former Uruguayan legislators and a former Bolivian president, Juan José Torres, murdered in Buenos Aires, a former Chilean Minister of the Interior, Bernardo Leighton, and former Chilean ambassador Orlando Letelier and his 26-year-old American colleague, Ronni Moffitt, assassinated by a car bomb in downtown Washington D.C.," according to the report. Prior to the formation of Operation Condor, there had been cooperation among various security services with the goal of "eliminating Marxist subversion." On September 3, 1973, at the Conference of American Armies in Caracas, Brazilian General Breno Borges Fortes, the chief of the Brazilian army, urged that various services "expand the interchange of information" in order to "fight against subversion." Representatives from Chile, Uruguay, and Bolivia's police forces met with Alberto Villar, deputy chief of the Argentine Federal Police and co-founder of the Triple A killing squad, in March 1974 to discuss collaboration standards. Their purpose was to eliminate the "subversive" threat posed by Argentina's tens of thousands of political exiles. Bolivian immigrants' bodies were discovered at rubbish dumps in Buenos Aires in August 1974. Based on recently revealed CIA records dated June 1976, McSherry corroborated the kidnapping and torture of Chilean and Uruguayan exiles living in Buenos Aires during this time. On General Augusto Pinochet's 60th birthday, November 25, 1975, in Santiago de Chile, heads of the military intelligence services of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay met with Manuel Contreras, commander of the Chilean secret police, to officially establish the Plan Condor. General Rivero, an intelligence officer in the Argentine Armed Forces and a former student of the French, devised the concept of Operation Condor, according to French writer Marie-Monique Robin, author of Escadrons de la death, l'école française (2004, Death Squads, The French School). Officially, the targets were armed groups (such as the MIR, the Montoneros or the ERP, the Tupamaros, etc.) based on the governments' perceptions of threats, but the governments expanded their attacks to include all types of political opponents, including their families and others, as reported by the Valech Commission, which is known as The National Commission on Political Imprisonment and Torture Report. The Argentine "Dirty War," for example, kidnapped, tortured, and assassinated many trade unionists, relatives of activists, social activists such as the founders of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, nuns, university professors, and others, according to most estimates. The Chilean DINA and its Argentine counterpart, SIDE, were the operation's front-line troops from 1976 forward. The infamous "death flights," which were postulated in Argentina by Luis Mara Menda and deployed by French forces during the Algerian War (1954–62), were widely used. Government forces flew or helicoptered victims out to sea, where they were dumped to die in premeditated disappearances. According to reports, the OPR-33 facility in Argentina was destroyed as a result of the military bombardment. Members of Plan Condor met in Santiago, Chile, in May 1976, to discuss "long-range collaboration... [that] went well beyond intelligence exchange" and to assign code names to the participating countries. The CIA acquired information in July that Plan Condor participants planned to strike "against leaders of indigenous terrorist groups residing overseas." Several corpses washed up on beaches south of Buenos Aires in late 1977 as a result of extraordinary storms, providing evidence of some of the government's victims. Hundreds of newborns and children were removed from women in prison who had been kidnapped and later disappeared; the children were then given to families and associates of the dictatorship in clandestine adoptions. According to the CIA, Operation Condor countries reacted positively to the concept of cooperating and built their own communications network as well as joint training programs in areas like psychological warfare. The military governments in South America were coming together to join forces for security concerns, according to a memo prepared by Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America Harry W. Shlaudeman to Kissinger on August 3, 1976. They were anxious about the growth of Marxism and the consequences it would have on their dominance. This new force worked in secret in the countries of other members. Their mission: to track out and murder "Revolutionary Coordinating Committee" terrorists in their own nations and throughout Europe.Shlaudeman voiced fear that the members of Operation Condor's "siege mindset" could lead to a wider divide between military and civilian institutions in the region. He was also concerned that this would further isolate these countries from developed Western countries. He argued that some of these anxieties were justified, but that by reacting too harshly, these countries risked inciting a violent counter-reaction comparable to the PLO's in Israel. Chile and Argentina were both active in using communications medium for the purpose of transmitting propaganda, according to papers from the United States dated April 17, 1977. The propaganda's goal was to accomplish two things. The first goal was to defuse/counter international media criticism of the governments involved, and the second goal was to instill national pride in the local population. "Chile after Allende," a propaganda piece developed by Chile, was sent to the states functioning under Condor. The paper, however, solely mentions Uruguay and Argentina as the only two countries that have signed the deal. The government of Paraguay was solely identified as using the local press, "Patria," as its primary source of propaganda. Due to the reorganisation of both Argentina's and Paraguay's intelligence organizations, a meeting scheduled for March 1977 to discuss "psychological warfare measures against terrorists and leftist extremists" was canceled. One "component of the campaign including Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina envisages unlawful operations beyond Latin America against expatriate terrorists, primarily in Europe," according to a 2016 declassified CIA study titled "Counterterrorism in the Southern Cone." "All military-controlled regimes in the Southern Cone consider themselves targets of international Marxism," the memo stated. Condor's fundamental characteristic was highlighted in the document, which came to fruition in early 1974 when "security officials from all of the member countries, except Brazil, agreed to establish liaison channels and to facilitate the movement of security officers on government business from one country to the other," as part of a long-tested "regional approach" to pacifying "subversion." Condor's "initial aims" included the "exchange of information on the Revolutionary Coordinating Junta (RCJ), an organization...of terrorist groups from Bolivia, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay" with "representatives" in Europe "believed to have been involved in the assassinations in Paris of the Bolivian ambassador to France last May and a Uruguayan military attache in 1974." Condor's primary purpose, according to the CIA assessment, was to eliminate "top-level terrorist leaders" as well as non-terrorist targets such as "Uruguayan opposition figure Wilson Ferreira, if he should travel to Europe, and some leaders of Amnesty International." Condor was also suspected by the CIA of being "involved in nonviolent actions, including as psychological warfare and a propaganda campaign" that used the media's power to "publicize terrorist crimes and atrocities." Condor also urged citizens in its member countries to "report anything out of the norm in their surroundings" in an appeal to "national pride and national conscience." Another meeting took place in 1980, and Montensero was apprehended. The RSO allegedly promised not to kill them if they agreed to collaborate and provide information on upcoming meetings in Rio. So, after all of this mumbo jumbo, let's recap. 50,000 people were killed, 30,000 disappeared, and 400,000 were imprisoned, according to the "terror archives." A letter signed by Manuel Contreras, the chief of Chile's National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) at the time, inviting Paraguayan intelligence personnel to Santiago for a clandestine "First Working Meeting on National Intelligence" on November 25, 1975, was also uncovered. The presence of intelligence chiefs from Argentina, Bolivia, and Uruguay at the meetings was also confirmed by this letter, indicating that those countries were also involved in the formulation of Operation Condor. Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela are among the countries named in the archives as having collaborated to varying degrees by giving intelligence information that had been sought by the security agencies of the Southern Cone countries. Parts of the archives, which are presently housed in Asunción's Palace of Justice, have been used to prosecute former military officers in some of these countries. Those records were used extensively in Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón's prosecution against Chilean General Augusto Pinochet. Baltasar Garzón interviewed Almada twice after he was a Condor victim. "[The records] represent a mound of shame and lies that Stroessner [Paraguay's ruler until 1989] used to blackmail the Paraguayan people for 40 years," Almada said. He wants the "terror archives" to be listed as an international cultural site by UNESCO, as this would make it much easier to get funds to maintain and protect the records. In May 2000, a UNESCO mission visited Asunción in response to a request from the Paraguayan government for assistance in registering these files on the Memory of the World Register, which is part of a program aimed at preserving and promoting humanity's documentary heritage by ensuring that records are preserved and accessible. Now that we are all caught up, let's talk about a few noteworthy events. First we go to Argentina. Argentina was ruled by military juntas from 1976 until 1983 under Operation Condor, which was a civic-military dictatorship. In countless incidents of desaparecidos, the Argentine SIDE collaborated with the Chilean DINA. In Buenos Aires, they assassinated Chilean General Carlos Prats, former Uruguayan MPs Zelmar Michelini and Héctor Gutiérrez Ruiz, and former Bolivian President Juan José Torres. With the support of Italian Gladio operator Stefano Delle Chiaie and Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie, the SIDE aided Bolivian commander Luis Garca Meza Tejada's Cocaine Coup (see also Operation Charly). Since the release of secret records, it has been revealed that at ESMA, there were operational units made up of Italians who were utilized to suppress organizations of Italian Montoneros. Gaetano Saya, the Officer of the Italian stay behind next - Operation Gladio, led this outfit known as "Shadow Group." The Madres de la Square de Mayo, a group of mothers whose children had vanished, began protesting every Thursday in front of the Casa Rosada on the plaza in April 1977. They wanted to know where their children were and what happened to them. The abduction of two French nuns and other founders of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in December 1977 drew worldwide notice. Their corpses were later recognized among the deceased washed up on beaches south of Buenos Aires in December 1977, victims of death planes. In 1983, when Argentina's democracy was restored, the government established the National Commission for Forced Disappearances (CONADEP), which was chaired by writer Ernesto Sabato. It gathered testimony from hundreds of witnesses about regime victims and known atrocities, as well as documenting hundreds of secret jails and detention sites and identifying torture and execution squad leaders. The Juicio a las Juntas (Juntas Trial) two years later was mostly successful in proving the crimes of the top commanders of the numerous juntas that had composed the self-styled National Reorganization Process. Most of the top officers on trial, including Jorge Rafael Videla, Emilio Eduardo Massera, Roberto Eduardo Viola, Armando Lambruschini, Ral Agosti, Rubén Graffigna, Leopoldo Galtieri, Jorge Anaya, and Basilio Lami Dozo, were convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Following these trials, Ral Alfonsn's administration implemented two amnesty laws, the 1986 Ley de Punto Final (law of closure) and the 1987 Ley de Obediencia Debida (law of due obedience), which ended prosecution of crimes committed during the Dirty War. In an attempt at healing and reconciliation, President Carlos Menem pardoned the junta's leaders who were serving prison sentences in 1989–1990. Due to attacks on American citizens in Argentina and revelations about CIA funding of the Argentine military in the late 1990s, and despite an explicit 1990 Congressional prohibition, US President Bill Clinton ordered the declassification of thousands of State Department documents relating to US-Argentine relations dating back to 1954. These documents exposed American involvement in the Dirty War and Operation Condor. Following years of protests by the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and other human rights organizations, the Argentine Congress overturned the amnesty legislation in 2003, with the full support of President Nestor Kirchner and the ruling majority in both chambers. In June 2005, the Argentine Supreme Court deemed them unlawful after a separate assessment. The government was able to resume prosecution of crimes committed during the Dirty War as a result of the court's decision. Enrique Arancibia Clavel, a DINA civil agent who was charged with crimes against humanity in Argentina in 2004, was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the death of General Prats. Stefano Delle Chiaie, a suspected Italian terrorist, is also said to have been involved in the murder. In Rome in December 1995, he and fellow extreme Vincenzo Vinciguerra testified before federal judge Mara Servini de Cubra that DINA operatives Clavel and Michael Townley were intimately involved in the assassination. Judge Servini de Cubra demanded that Mariana Callejas (Michael Townley's wife) and Cristoph Willikie, a retired Chilean army colonel, be extradited in 2003 because they were also accused of being complicit in the murder. Nibaldo Segura, a Chilean appeals court judge, declined extradition in July 2005, claiming that they had already been prosecuted in Chile. Twenty-five former high-ranking military commanders from Argentina and Uruguay were charged on March 5, 2013, in Buenos Aires with conspiring to "kidnap, disappear, torture, and kill" 171 political opponents throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Former Argentine "presidents" Jorge Videla and Reynaldo Bignone, both from the El Proceso era, are among the defendants. Prosecutors are relying on declassified US records collected by the National Security Archive, a non-governmental entity established at George Washington University in Washington, DC, in the 1990s and later. On May 27, 2016, fifteen former military personnel were found guilty. Reynaldo Bignone was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Fourteen of the remaining 16 defendants were sentenced to eight to twenty-five years in prison. Two of the defendants were found not guilty. A lawyer for the victims' relatives, Luz Palmás Zalda, claims that "This decision is significant since it is the first time Operation Condor's existence has been proven in court. It's also the first time former Condor members have been imprisoned for their roles in the criminal organization." Anyone wanna go to Brazil? In the year 2000, President Fernando Henrique Cardoso ordered the publication of some military documents related to Operation Condor. There are documents proving that in that year, attorney general Giancarlo Capaldo, an Italian magistrate, investigated the "disappearances" of Italian citizens in Latin America, which were most likely caused by the actions of Argentine, Paraguayan, Chilean, and Brazilian military personnel who tortured and murdered Italian citizens during Latin American military dictatorships. There was a list containing the names of eleven Brazilians accused of murder, kidnapping, and torture, as well as several high-ranking military personnel from other countries involved in the operation. "(...) I can neither affirm nor deny because Argentine, Brazilian, Paraguayan, and Chilean soldiers [military men] will be subject to criminal trial until December," the Magistrate said on October 26, 2000. According to the Italian government's official statement, it was unclear whether the government would prosecute the accused military officers or not. As of November 2021, no one in Brazil had been convicted of human rights violations for actions committed during the 21-year military dictatorship because the Amnesty Law had protected both government officials and leftist guerrillas. In November 1978, the Condor Operation expanded its covert persecution from Uruguay to Brazil, in an incident dubbed "o Sequestro dos Uruguaios," or "the Kidnapping of the Uruguayans." Senior officials of the Uruguayan army crossed the border into Porto Alegre, the capital of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, with the permission of the Brazilian military administration. They kidnapped Universindo Rodriguez and Lilian Celiberti, a political activist couple from Uruguay, as well as her two children, Camilo and Francesca, who are five and three years old. The unlawful operation failed because an anonymous phone call notified two Brazilian journalists, Veja magazine reporter Luiz Cláudio Cunha and photographer Joo Baptista Scalco, that the Uruguayan couple had been "disappeared." The two journalists traveled to the specified address, a Porto Alegre apartment, to double-check the facts. The armed men who had arrested Celiberti mistook the journalists for other political opposition members when they came, and they were arrested as well. Universindo Rodriguez and the children had already been brought to Uruguay under the table. The journalists' presence had exposed the secret operation when their identities were revealed. It was put on hold. As news of the political kidnapping of Uruguayan nationals in Brazil made headlines in the Brazilian press, it is thought that the operation's disclosure avoided the death of the couple and their two young children. It became a worldwide embarrassment. Both Brazil's and Uruguay's military governments were humiliated. Officials arranged for the Celibertis' children to be transported to their maternal grandparents in Montevideo a few days later. After being imprisoned and tortured in Brazil, Rodriguez and Celiberti were transferred to Uruguayan military cells and held there for the next five years. The couple were released after Uruguay's democracy was restored in 1984. They confirmed every element of their kidnapping that had previously been reported. In 1980, two DOPS (Department of Political and Social Order, an official police unit in charge of political repression during the military administration) inspectors were found guilty of arresting the journalists in Lilian's apartment in Porto Alegre by Brazilian courts. Joo Augusto da Rosa and Orandir Portassi Lucas were their names. They had been identified as participants in the kidnapping by the media and Uruguayans. This occurrence confirmed the Brazilian government's active involvement in the Condor Operation. Governor Pedro Simon arranged for the state of Rio Grande do Sul to legally recognize the Uruguayans' kidnapping and compensate them financially in 1991. A year later, President Luis Alberto Lacalle's democratic government in Uruguay was encouraged to do the same. The Uruguayan couple identified Pedro Seelig, the head of the DOPS at the time of the kidnapping, as the guy in charge of the operation in Porto Alegre. Universindo and Llian remained in prison in Uruguay and were unable to testify when Seelig was on trial in Brazil. Due to a lack of proof, the Brazilian cop was acquitted. Later testimony from Lilian and Universindo revealed that four officers from Uruguay's secret Counter-Information Division – two majors and two captains – took part in the operation with the permission of Brazilian authorities. In the DOPS headquarters in Porto Alegre, Captain Glauco Yanonne was personally responsible for torturing Universindo Rodriquez. Universindo and Lilian were able to identify the Uruguayan military men who had arrested and tortured them, but none of them were prosecuted in Montevideo. Uruguayan individuals who committed acts of political repression and human rights violations under the dictatorship were granted pardon under the Law of Immunity, which was approved in 1986. Cunha and Scalco were given the 1979 Esso Prize, considered the most significant prize in Brazilian journalism, for their investigative journalism on the case. Hugo Cores, a former political prisoner from Uruguay, was the one who had warned Cunha. He told the Brazilian press in 1993: All the Uruguayans kidnapped abroad, around 180 people, are missing to this day. The only ones who managed to survive are Lilian, her children, and Universindo. Joo "Jango" Goulart was the first Brazilian president to die in exile after being deposed. On December 6, 1976, he died in his sleep in Mercedes, Argentina, of a suspected heart attack. The true cause of his death was never determined because an autopsy was never performed. On April 26, 2000, Leonel Brizola, Jango's brother-in-law and former governor of Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul, claimed that ex-presidents Joo Goulart and Juscelino Kubitschek (who died in a vehicle accident) were assassinated as part of Operation Condor. He demanded that an investigation into their deaths be launched. On January 27, 2008, the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo published a report featuring a declaration from Mario Neira Barreiro, a former member of Uruguay's dictatorship's intelligence service. Barreiro confirmed Brizola's claims that Goulart had been poisoned. Sérgio Paranhos Fleury, the head of the Departamento de Ordem Poltica e Social (Department of Political and Social Order), gave the order to assassinate Goulart, according to Barreiro, and president Ernesto Geisel gave the permission to execute him. A special panel of the Rio Grande do Sul Legislative Assembly concluded in July 2008 that "the evidence that Jango was wilfully slain, with knowledge of the Geisel regime, is strong." The magazine CartaCapital published previously unreleased National Information Service records generated by an undercover agent who was present at Jango's Uruguayan homes in March 2009. This new information backs up the idea that the former president was poisoned. The Goulart family has yet to figure out who the "B Agent," as he's referred to in the documents, might be. The agent was a close friend of Jango's, and he detailed a disagreement between the former president and his son during the former president's 56th birthday party, which was sparked by a brawl between two employees. As a result of the story, the Chamber of Deputies' Human Rights Commission agreed to look into Jango's death. Later, Maria Teresa Fontela Goulart, Jango's widow, was interviewed by CartaCapital, who revealed records from the Uruguayan government confirming her accusations that her family had been tracked. Jango's travel, business, and political activities were all being watched by the Uruguayan government. These data date from 1965, a year after Brazil's coup, and they indicate that he may have been targeted. The President Joo Goulart Institute and the Movement for Justice and Human Rights have requested a document from the Uruguayan Interior Ministry stating that "serious and credible Brazilian sources'' discussed an "alleged plan against the former Brazilian president." If you thought it wasn't enough, let's talk about Chile. No not the warm stew lie concoction you make to scorn your buddy's stomach, but the country. Additional information about Condor was released when Augusto Pinochet was detained in London in 1998 in response to Spanish magistrate Baltasar Garzón's request for his extradition to Spain. According to one of the lawyers requesting his extradition, Carlos Altamirano, the leader of the Chilean Socialist Party, was the target of an assassination attempt. He said that after Franco's funeral in Madrid in 1975, Pinochet contacted Italian neofascist terrorist Stefano Delle Chiaie and arranged for Altamirano's murder. The strategy didn't work out. Since the bodies of victims kidnapped and presumably murdered could not be found, Chilean judge Juan Guzmán Tapia established a precedent concerning the crime of "permanent kidnapping": he determined that the kidnapping was thought to be ongoing, rather than having occurred so long ago that the perpetrators were protected by an amnesty decreed in 1978 or the Chilean statute of limitations. The Chilean government admitted in November 2015 that Pablo Neruda may have been murdered by members of Pinochet's administration. Assassinations On September 30, 1974, a car bomb killed General Carlos Prats and his wife, Sofa Cuthbert, in Buenos Aires, where they were living in exile. The Chilean DINA has been charged with the crime. In January 2005, Chilean Judge Alejandro Sols ended Pinochet's case when the Chilean Supreme Court denied his request to strip Pinochet's immunity from prosecution (as chief of state). In Chile, the assassination of DINA commanders Manuel Contreras, ex-chief of operations and retired general Ral Itturiaga Neuman, his brother Roger Itturiaga, and ex-brigadiers Pedro Espinoza Bravo and José Zara was accused. In Argentina, DINA agent Enrique Arancibia Clavel was found guilty of the murder. After moving in exile in Italy, Bernardo Leighton and his wife were severely injured in a botched assassination attempt on October 6, 1975. Bernardo Leighton was critically injured in the gun attack, and his wife, Anita Fresno, was permanently crippled. Stefano Delle Chiaie met with Michael Townley and Virgilio Paz Romero in Madrid in 1975 to plan the murder of Bernardo Leighton with the help of Franco's secret police, according to declassified documents in the National Security Archive and Italian attorney general Giovanni Salvi, who led the prosecution of former DINA head Manuel Contreras. Glyn T. Davies, the secretary of the National Security Council (NSC), said in 1999 that declassified records indicated Pinochet's government's responsibility for the failed assassination attempt on Bernardo Leighton, Orlando Letelier, and General Carlos Prats on October 6, 1975. In a December 2004 OpEd piece in the Los Angeles Times, Francisco Letelier, Orlando Letelier's son, claimed that his father's killing was part of Operation Condor, which he described as "an intelligence-sharing network employed by six South American tyrants of the time to eliminate dissidents." Letelier's death, according to Michael Townley, was caused by Pinochet. Townley admitted to hiring five anti-Castro Cuban exiles to set up a booby-trap in Letelier's automobile. Following consultations with the terrorist organization CORU's leadership, including Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch, Cuban-Americans José Dionisio Suárez, Virgilio Paz Romero, Alvin Ross Daz, and brothers Guillermo and Ignacio Novo Sampoll were chosen to carry out the murder, according to Jean-Guy Allard. The Miami Herald reports that Luis Posada Carriles was there at the conference that decided on Letelier's death as well as the bombing of Cubana Flight 455. During a public protest against Pinochet in July 1986, photographer Rodrigo Rojas DeNegri was burned alive and Carmen Gloria Quintana received significant burns. The case of the two became known as Caso Quemados ("The Burned Case"), and it drew attention in the United States because Rojas had fled to the United States following the 1973 coup. [96] According to a document from the US State Department, the Chilean army set fire to both Rojas and Quintana on purpose. Rojas and Quintana, on the other hand, were accused by Pinochet of being terrorists who lit themselves on fire with their own Molotov cocktails. Pinochet's reaction to the attack and killing of Rojas, according to National Security Archive analyst Peter Kornbluh, was "contributed to Reagan's decision to withdraw support for the regime and press for a return to civilian rule." Operación Silencio Operación Silencio (Operation Silence) was a Chilean operation that removed witnesses from the country in order to obstruct investigations by Chilean judges. It began about a year before the "terror archives" in Paraguay were discovered. Arturo Sanhueza Ross, the man accused of assassinating MIR leader Jecar Neghme in 1989, departed the country in April 1991. According to the Rettig Report, Chilean intelligence officers were responsible for Jecar Neghme's killing. Carlos Herrera Jiménez, the man who assassinated trade unionist Tucapel Jiménez, flew out in September 1991. Eugenio Berros, a chemist who had cooperated with DINA agent Michael Townley, was led by Operation Condor agents from Chile to Uruguay in October 1991 in order to avoid testifying in the Letelier case. He used passports from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil, prompting suspicions that Operation Condor was still active. In 1995, Berros was discovered dead in El Pinar, Uruguay, near Montevideo. His corpse had been mangled to the point where it was hard to identify him by sight. Michael Townley, who is now under witness protection in the United States, recognized linkages between Chile, DINA, and the incarceration and torture camp Colonia Dignidad in January 2005. The facility was founded in 1961 by Paul Schäfer, who was arrested and convicted of child rape in Buenos Aires in March 2005. Interpol was notified about Colonia Dignidad and the Army's Bacteriological Warfare Laboratory by Townley. This lab would have taken the place of the previous DINA lab on Via Naranja de lo Curro, where Townley collaborated with chemical assassin Eugenio Berros. According to the court reviewing the case, the toxin that allegedly murdered Christian-Democrat Eduardo Frei Montalva could have been created at this new lab in Colonia Dignidad. Dossiê Jango, a Brazilian-Uruguayan-Argentine collaboration film released in 2013, accused the same lab in the alleged poisoning of Brazil's deposed president, Joo Goulart. Congressman Koch The Condor Years: How Pinochet and His Allies Brought Terrorism to Three Continents was released in February 2004 by reporter John Dinges. He reported that in mid-1976, Uruguayan military officers threatened to assassinate United States Congressman Edward Koch (later Mayor of New York City). The CIA station commander in Montevideo had received information about it in late July 1976. He advised the Agency to take no action after finding that the men were inebriated at the time. Colonel José Fons, who was present at the November 1975 covert meeting in Santiago, Chile, and Major José Nino Gavazzo, who led a team of intelligence agents working in Argentina in 1976 and was responsible for the deaths of over 100 Uruguayans, were among the Uruguayan officers. Koch told Dinges in the early twenty-first century that CIA Director George H. W. Bush informed him in October 1976 that "his sponsorship of legislation to cut off US military assistance to Uruguay on human rights concerns had prompted secret police officers to 'put a contract out for you'." Koch wrote to the Justice Department in mid-October 1976, requesting FBI protection, but he received none. It had been more than two months after the meeting and the assassination of Orlando Letelier in Washington. Colonel Fons and Major Gavazzo were sent to important diplomatic postings in Washington, D.C. in late 1976. The State Department ordered the Uruguayan government to rescind their appointments, citing the possibility of "unpleasant publicity" for "Fons and Gavazzo." Only in 2001 did Koch learn of the links between the threats and the position appointments. Paraguay The US supported Alfredo Stroessner's anti-communist military dictatorship and played a "vital supporting role" in Stroessner's Paraguay's domestic affairs. As part of Operation Condor, for example, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Thierry of the United States Army was deployed to assist local workers in the construction of "La Technica," a detention and interrogation center. La Technica was also renowned as a torture facility. Pastor Coronel, Stroessner's secret police, washed their victims in human vomit and excrement tubs and shocked them in the rectum with electric cattle prods. They decapitated Miguel Angel Soler [es], the Communist party secretary, with a chainsaw while Stroessner listened on the phone. Stroessner asked that tapes of inmates wailing in agony be presented to their relatives. Harry Shlaudeman defined Paraguay's militarized state as a "nineteenth-century military administration that looks nice on the cartoon page" in a report to Kissinger. Shlaudeman's assessments were paternalistic, but he was correct in observing that Paraguay's "backwardness" was causing it to follow in the footsteps of its neighbors. Many decolonized countries regarded national security concerns in terms of neighboring countries and long-standing ethnic or regional feuds, but the United States viewed conflict from a global and ideological viewpoint. During the Chaco War, Shlaudeman mentions Paraguay's amazing fortitude in the face of greater military force from its neighbors. The government of Paraguay believes that the country's victory over its neighbors over several decades justifies the country's lack of progress. The paper goes on to say that Paraguay's political traditions were far from democratic. Because of this reality, as well as a fear of leftist protest in neighboring countries, the government has prioritized the containment of political opposition over the growth of its economic and political institutions. They were driven to defend their sovereignty due to an ideological fear of their neighbors. As a result, many officials were inspired to act in the interest of security by the fight against radical, communist movements both within and beyond the country. The book Opération Condor, written by French writer Pablo Daniel Magee and prefaced by Costa Gavras, was published in 2020. The story chronicles the life of Martin Almada, a Paraguayan who was a victim of the Condor Operation. The Peruvian Case After being kidnapped in 1978, Peruvian legislator Javier Diez Canseco announced that he and twelve other compatriots (Justiniano Apaza Ordóñez, Hugo Blanco, Genaro Ledesma Izquieta, Valentín Pacho, Ricardo Letts, César Lévano, Ricardo Napurí, José Luis Alvarado Bravo, Alfonso Baella Tuesta, Guillermo Faura Gaig, José Arce Larco and Humberto Damonte). All opponents of Francisco Morales Bermudez's dictatorship were exiled and handed over to the Argentine armed forces in Jujuy in 1978 after being kidnapped in Peru. He also claimed that declassified CIA documents and WikiLeaks cable information account for the Morales Bermudez government's ties to Operation Condor. Uruguay Juan Mara Bordaberry declared himself dictator and banned the rest of the political parties, as was customary in the Southern Cone dictatorships of the 1970s. In the alleged defense against subversion, a large number of people were murdered, tortured, unjustly detained and imprisoned, kidnapped, and forced into disappearance during the de facto administration, which lasted from 1973 until 1985. Prior to the coup d'état in 1973, the CIA served as a consultant to the country's law enforcement institutions. Dan Mitrione, perhaps the most well-known example of such cooperation, had taught civilian police in counterinsurgency at the School of the Americas in Panama, afterwards renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. Maybe now we can talk about the U.S involvement? The U.S never gets involved in anything so this might be new to some of you. According to US paperwork, the US supplied critical organizational, financial, and technological help to the operation far into the 1980s. The long-term hazards of a right-wing bloc, as well as its early policy recommendations, were discussed in a US Department of State briefing for Henry Kissinger, then Secretary of State, dated 3 August 1976, prepared by Harry Shlaudeman and titled "Third World War and South America." The briefing was an overview of security forces in the Southern Cone. The operation was described as a joint effort by six Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay) to win the "Third World War" by eliminating "subversion" through transnational secret intelligence operations, kidnapping, torture, disappearance, and assassination. The research begins by examining the sense of unity shared by the six countries of the Southern Cone. Kissinger is warned by Shlaudeman that the "Third World War" will trap those six countries in an ambiguous position in the long run, because they are trapped on one side by "international Marxism and its terrorist exponents," and on the other by "the hostility of uncomprehending industrial democracies misled by Marxist propaganda." According to the report, US policy toward Operation Condor should “emphasize the differences between the five countries at all times, depoliticize human rights, oppose rhetorical exaggerations of the ‘Third-World-War' type, and bring potential bloc members back into our cognitive universe through systematic exchanges.” According to CIA papers from 1976, strategies to deal with political dissidents in South America were planned among international security officials at the US Army School of the Americas and the Conference of American Armies from 1960 to the early 1970s. "In early 1974, security officials from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia convened in Buenos Aires to arrange synchronized attacks against subversive targets," according to a declassified CIA memo dated June 23, 1976. Officials in the United States were aware of the situation. Furthermore, the Defense Intelligence Agency revealed in September 1976 that US intelligence services were well aware of Operation Condor's architecture and intentions. They discovered that "Operation Condor" was the covert name for gathering intelligence on "leftists," Communists, Peronists, or Marxists in the Southern Cone Area. The intelligence services were aware that the operation was being coordinated by the intelligence agencies of numerous South American nations (including Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia), with Chile serving as the hub. Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, according to the DIA, were already aggressively pursuing operations against communist targets, primarily in Argentina. The report's third point reveals the US comprehension of Operation Condor's most malevolent actions. "The development of special teams from member countries to execute out operations, including killings against terrorists or sympathizers of terrorist groups," according to the paper. Although these special teams were intelligence agency operatives rather than military troops, they did work in structures similar to those used by US special forces teams, according to the study. Operation Condor's preparations to undertake probable operations in France and Portugal were revealed in Kissinger's State Department briefing - an issue that would later prove to be immensely contentious in Condor's history. Condor's core was formed by the US government's sponsorship and collaboration with DINA (Directorate of National Intelligence) and other intelligence agencies. According to CIA papers, the agency maintained intimate ties with officers of Chile's secret police, DINA, and its leader Manuel Contreras. Even after his role in the Letelier-Moffit killing was discovered, Contreras was kept as a paid CIA contact until 1977. Official requests to trace suspects to and from the US Embassy, the CIA, and the FBI may be found in the Paraguayan Archives. The military states received suspect lists and other intelligence material from the CIA. In 1975, the FBI conducted a nationwide hunt in the United States for persons sought by DINA. In a February 1976 telegram from the Buenos Aires embassy to the State Department, intelligence said that the US was aware of the impending Argentinian coup. According to the ambassador, the Chief of the Foreign Ministry's North American desk revealed that the "Military Planning Group" had asked him to prepare a report and recommendations on how the "future military government can avoid or minimize the sort of problems the Chilean and Uruguayan governments are having with the US over human rights issues." The Chief also indicated that "they" (whether he is talking to the CIA or Argentina's future military dictatorship, or both) will confront opposition if they start assassinating and killing people. Assuming this is so, the envoy notes that the military coup will "intend to carry forward an all-out war on the terrorists and that some executions would therefore probably be necessary." Despite already being engaged in the region's politics, this indicates that the US was aware of the planning of human rights breaches before they occurred and did not intervene to prevent them. "It is encouraging to note that the Argentine military are aware of the problem and are already focusing on ways to avoid letting human rights issues become an irritant in US-Argentine Relations." This is confirmation. Professor Ruth Blakeley says that Kissinger "explicitly expressed his support for the repression of political opponents" in regards to the Argentine junta's continuous human rights violations. When Henry Kissinger met with Argentina's Foreign Minister on October 5, 1976, he said, ” Look, our basic attitude is that we would like you to succeed. I have an old-fashioned view that friends ought to be supported. What is not understood in the United States is that you have a civil war. We read about human rights problems but not the context. The quicker you succeed the better ... The human rights problem is a growing one. Your Ambassador can apprise you. We want a stable situation. We won't cause you unnecessary difficulties. If you can finish before Congress gets back, the better. Whatever freedoms you could restore would help.” The démarche was never provided in the end. According to Kornbluh and Dinges, the decision not to deliver Kissinger's directive was based on Assistant Secretary Harry Shlaudeman's letter to his deputy in Washington, D.C., which stated: "you can simply instruct the Ambassadors to take no further action, noting that there have been no reports in some weeks indicating an intention to activate the Condor scheme." President Bill Clinton ordered the State Department to release hundreds of declassified papers in June 1999, indicating for the first time that the CIA, State, and Defense Departments were all aware of Condor. According to a 1 October 1976 DOD intelligence assessment, Latin American military commanders gloat about it to their American colleagues. Condor's "joint counterinsurgency operations" sought to "eliminate Marxist terrorist activities," according to the same study; Argentina developed a special Condor force "structured much like a US Special Forces Team," it said. According to a summary of documents disclosed in 2004, The declassified record shows that Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was briefed on Condor and its "murder operations" on August 5, 1976, in a 14-page report from [Harry] Shlaudeman [Assistant Secretary of State]. "Internationally, the Latin generals look like our guys," Shlaudeman cautioned. "We are especially identified with Chile. It cannot do us any good." Shlaudeman and his two deputies, William Luers and Hewson Ryan, recommended action. Over the course of three weeks, they drafted a cautiously worded demarche, approved by Kissinger, in which he instructed the U.S. ambassadors in the Southern Cone countries to meet with the respective heads of state about Condor. He instructed them to express "our deep concern" about "rumors" of "plans for the assassination of subversives, politicians and prominent figures both within the national borders of certain Southern Cone countries and abroad." Kornbluh and Dinges come to the conclusion that "The paper trail is clear: the State Department and the CIA had enough intelligence to take concrete steps to thwart the Condor assassination planning. Those steps were initiated but never implemented." Hewson Ryan, Shlaudeman's deputy, subsequently admitted in an oral history interview that the State Department's treatment of the issue was "remiss." "We knew fairly early on that the governments of the Southern Cone countries were planning, or at least talking about, some assassinations abroad in the summer of 1976. ... Whether if we had gone in, we might have prevented this, I don't know", In relation to the Letelier-Moffitt bombing, he remarked, "But we didn't." Condor was defined as a "counter-terrorism organization" in a CIA document, which also mentioned that the Condor countries had a specific telecommunications system known as "CONDORTEL." The New York Times released a communication from US Ambassador to Paraguay Robert White to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance on March 6, 2001. The paper was declassified and disseminated by the Clinton administration in November 2000 as part of the Chile Declassification Project. General Alejandro Fretes Davalos, the chief of staff of Paraguay's armed forces, told White that the South American intelligence chiefs engaged in Condor "kept in touch with one another through a United States communications installation in the Panama Canal Zone that covered all of Latin America." According to reports, Davalos stated that the station was "employed to coordinate intelligence information among the southern cone countries". The US was concerned that the Condor link would be made public at a time when the killing of Chilean former minister Orlando Letelier and his American aide Ronni Moffitt in the United States was being probed."it would seem advisable to review this arrangement to insure that its continuation is in US interest." White wrote to Vance. "Another piece of increasingly weighty evidence suggesting that U.S. military and intelligence officials supported and collaborated with Condor as a secret partner or sponsor." McSherry rebutted the cables. Furthermore, an Argentine military source told a U.S. Embassy contact that the CIA was aware of Condor and had played a vital role in establishing computerized linkages among the six Condor governments' intelligence and operations sections. After all this it doesn't stop here. We even see France having a connection. The original document confirming that a 1959 agreement between Paris and Buenos Aires set up a "permanent French military mission" of officers to Argentina who had participated in the Algerian War was discovered in the archives of the Quai d'Orsay, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was kept at the offices of the Argentine Army's chief of staff. It lasted until 1981, when François Mitterrand was elected President of France. She revealed how the administration of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing secretly coordinated with Videla's junta in Argentina and Augusto Pinochet's tyranny in Chile. Even Britain and West Germany looked into using the tactics in their own countries. Going so far as to send their open personnel to Buenos Aires to discuss how to establish a similar network.

Sandra Seelig ist Heilpraktikerin und Friedensaktivistin. Seit Kurzem geht sie der Frage der Verbundenheit von Mann und Frau nach und damit den Irrwegen eines fehlgeleiteten Patriarchats.Vorweg: Sandra Seelig ist keine Emanze, die der toxischen Männlichkeit anheim gefallen ist, um sie in Dauerschleife zu beklagen.Sie will verbinden, nicht trennen. Und dazu fordert sie vor allem Frauen auf, sich aktiv an dem dringenden Wandel der Gesellschaft zu beteiligen, der uns allen bevorsteht.„Werdet aktiv!“, ist Seeligs Forderung an die Frauen und geht selbst als positives Beispiel voran.Der berechtigte Kritikpunkt Seeligs an vielen Männern ist, dass die Gesellschaft derzeit an einer pervertierten Form männlicher Attribute leidet und dass diese Pervertierung angeschaut und geheilt werden sollte. Nur dann können männliche und weibliche positive Kräfte miteinander in Verbindung gelangen und gemeinsam unsere Gesellschaft wieder heilen. Männer sind schlecht und Frauen sind besser, ist nicht Seeligs Vorstellung von einer gleichberechtigten und gleichgestellten Gesellschaft.Gleich ist beiden Geschlechtern die Teilnahme in der verbindenden Kraft der Liebe, die beide miteinander schöpfen können. In dieser Gleichstellung beider geht es nicht hinterrücks darum, den Mann und Männlichkeit umzugestalten, sie femininer zu machen oder gar abzuschaffen, um selbst das Navi der Gesellschaft zu übernehmen. In der Gleichstellung geht es darum, Männlichkeit und Weiblichkeit voll und ganz zu integrieren und mit diesen gemeinsam gestaltenden Kräften die Gesellschaft wieder zu heilen und wieder ganz zu werden.Mehr über Sandra Seelig hier: https://www.naturheilpraxis-sandraseelig.de+++Apolut ist auch als kostenlose App für Android- und iOS-Geräte verfügbar!

We experience the world with our 5 senses, but there is much more to our being than that. The physical part of our experience is just the tip of the iceberg.2.Ultimately, yoga is for quieting the mind. The purpose of quieting your mind is to discover yourself and seek your purpose. 3.It is hard to misinterpret many of the sutras when it comes to the core ideas. It gets fuzzier when you go deeper, but the overall principles are pretty clear. The sutras are like a guidebook for what it means to be human.4.One of the most transformative yoga sutras is one that teaches you that you are not your thoughts. Our thoughts are not necessarily true. Believing that you are just your thoughts creates an artificial separation between your body and your mind.5.Maintaining steadiness and consistency in your yoga practice makes a big difference. There's a significant difference in how yoga affects you when you do it consistently.Links Connect with Pamela Seelig:Website: https://pamelaseelig.com/ Threads of Yoga: Themes, Reflections, and Meditations To Weave Into Your Practice: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1611808790 Details on Pamela's courses: https://pamelaseelig.com/practicesConnect With Tessa Tovar:Website:

This podcast is an intersection of my yoga teaching and my training in the Feldenkrais method. Today's bonus podcast is an interview with Pamela Seelig. Pamela recently published her first book, Threads of Yoga. In this interview we discuss the spiritual aspect of yoga, what it is like to start out as a yoga teacher, responsibilities of a yoga teacher and student, how yoga can be a doorway to a meditation practice, and generally how one can use the body to be of service for regenerating a connection to the spirit. I think this interview is interesting for both yoga teachers and students alike. Something I have never done on this podcast is to talk a bit more about my own experiences as a teacher, and my training and philosophy around teaching yoga, so you will get a little window into that as well. Pamela was a pleasure to speak with and I hope you enjoy this interview.

Sweden's Child of Light (0:36)Guest: Christopher Oscarson, Professor of Scandinavian History and Swedish Literature at Brigham Young UniversityDecember 13th is Saint Lucia Day which is especially big in Sweden. And it's a little ironic because this song about Saint Lucia and the saint herself both come from warm, sunny Sicily. Now, it's biggest devotees are in the dark, cold north. How did that happen? (Originally aired 12/13/18). Don't Get Suckered By Bogus Reviews When Shopping Online (10:11)Guest: Tommy Noonan, Founder of ReviewMetaIn the rush to get last-minute gifts on Amazon, it's easy to get duped by a fake or poor-quality product. By the time it arrives, it'll be too late to find a replacement before Christmas. So maybe you just stick to products with loads of five-star reviews? Well watch out for that. Lots of them are bogus and some sellers actually pay people to write good reviews. (Originally aired 11/11/19). The Value & Price of our Attention (27:36)Guest: Nick Seaver, PhD, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Tufts UniversityWe'll be spending time with friends and family over the next few weeks. And we bet you'll notice occasionally how often everyone is on their phones. We check them something like 100 times a day on average –even when we don't really need or want to be on them. It's frustrating, but phone and app makers have specifically designed their products to compel us to check as often as possible. The more time we spend on them, the more money they make. So why, then, are these same companies now offering features to help us limit the amount of time we while away on our phones? (Originally aired 9/19/19). Have a Merry Spooky Christmas (51:08)Guest: Leslee Thorne-Murphy, PhD, Professor and Associate Dean, English Department, BYUDoes Andy Williams really sing “There'll be scary ghost stories” in one of our most beloved Christmas songs? Yep! But those spooky tales have no place next to jolly Santa and the babe in the manger, do they? Well, not in America and not today. But ghosts were very much part of the holiday once upon a time in Victorian England. So, when Charles Dickens had ghosts visit Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve, he didn't invent the idea out of thin air, so to speak. He was giving families across Britain just what they wanted –a good spine tingle. (Originally aired 12/20/18). How to Be More Lucky (1:03:52)Guest: Tina Seelig, Professor of Practice in Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University, Faculty Co-Director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP), Author of “What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20”When Tina Seelig's son turned 20, she published a book for him. “What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20” became a bestseller. Getting the book published was a stroke of luck. But not the kind of “lightning strike” luck you might be thinking. Seelig used the strategies she teaches her entrepreneurship students at Stanford to increase her chances of lucking into a publisher who would make her a best-selling author. Ten years later, she's got an updated version of “What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20.” It's a “crash course on making your place in the world,” and whether you're worried about your kid who's off to college, or feeling stuck in a holiday rut yourself, Seelig's ideas might help. (Originally aired 7/18/19).
Dive into the study of creativity and innovation with Stanford professor Tina Seelig. Dr. Seelig earned her PhD in Neuroscience at Stanford Medical School, and has been a management consultant, entrepreneur, and author of 17 books, including Insight Out (2016), inGenius (2012), and What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 (2009).
Today's Flash Back Friday takes us to Episode 67 from July 2012. Join Jason Hartman for an insightful conversation on creativity with author and Executive Director for Stanford Technology Ventures Program, Tina Seelig. Tina points out that many people incorrectly believe they lack creativity and that it cannot be learned. She views this as a huge problem in that it is a matter of attitude. “If you think about it, every single sentence that you utter is a creative act,” Tina explained. “From the moment you're born, you're creating your life.” Creativity is not exclusive to artists or musicians. Problem-solving at all levels requires creativity, whether it's fixing a meal or designing machinery or coming up with an efficient technique. It is incredibly important to every aspect of life. Tina gives examples of how to encourage and expand creativity, as well as examples of how it is often stifled. Some of the tools for bringing out creativity are reframing, connecting and combining ideas, and challenging assumptions. Tina explains our “innovation engine,” a tool we all possess. There are three things people need to possess as an individual and three things that are critical in the outside world. As an individual, we need basic knowledge, imagination and motivation. We are affected by our environment by resources, habitat and culture. Dr. Tina Seelig is the Executive Director for the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP), the entrepreneurship center at Stanford University's School of Engineering. STVP is dedicated to accelerating high-technology entrepreneurship education and creating scholarly research on technology-based firms. STVP provides students from all majors with the entrepreneurial skills needed to use innovations to solve major world problems. She teaches courses on creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the department of Management Science and Engineering, and within the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford. Dr. Seelig is also the Director of the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter), which is dedicated infusing entrepreneurship and innovation skills into undergraduate engineering in the United States. Funded by the National Science Foundation and directed by STVP, the Epicenter is an education, research and outreach hub for the creation and sharing of entrepreneurship and innovation resources among U.S. engineering schools. Dr. Seelig has also written 16 popular science books and educational games. Her books include The Epicurean Laboratory and Incredible Edible Science, published by Scientific American; and a series of twelve games called Games for Your Brain, published by Chronicle Books. Her newest books, published by HarperCollins are What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20: A Crash Course on Making Your Place in the World (2009), and inGenius: Unleashing Creative Potential, which will be released in April 2012. She has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Stanford and is the Executive Director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, which is the entrepreneurship center at Stanford University School of Engineering. Seelig also teaches a course in the Department of Management Science & Engineering on Creativity and Innovation. In 2009, Seelig was awarded the highly prestigious Gordon Prize for her innovative work in technology, engineering, and education.
Freya's Singing Tips: Train Your Voice | Professional Singers | Singing Technique | Mindset
Doesn't every singer want to find more ease in their voice? That's definitely always been my goal, and I always keep working on getting closer to tha ultimate ease with just the right amount of tension in exactly the right places, so my tones just float out of my mouth. Dr. Tim Seelig isn't only one of the most knowledgable voice teachers and choir directors I have ever met, he is also very approachable and always happy to help other singers who have a genuine interest in finding their natural voice. His calmness in directing a choir always impressed me, and I believe, as singers we should all learn to find that calmness that grounds us and helps us keep our voices fresh and plyable. That's also the prerequisite for a healthy voice that will continue to sound beautiful for many years to come. Links mentioned in the show: Video "Dr. Tim Seelig's Vocal Folds". This is very educational. Dr. Gould's Gargle recipe: Inhale steam for 2-3 minutes before using the gargle. Mix 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon clear Karo Syrup, and 6 oz. of warm water. Gargle and don't eat or dring for 20-30 minutes after gargling.
