This weekend America went on the offensive: U.S. Delta Force raided Venezuela, capturing Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores in a swift hit-and-exit operation. Indicted in New York for narco-terrorism, cocaine trafficking, and weapons conspiracies, Maduro appeared in court claiming “prisoner of war” status while AG Pam Bondi announced the takedown. Former CIA Station Chief exposes the deeper ties Cartel de los Soles, Smartmatic, Dominion, Huawei, China, Serbia, and the CIA all linked in a global election fraud network. This isn't about oil; it's about unraveling the stolen-election cartel that's infected democracies worldwide.Elon Musk dines with President Trump and hints “2026 is going to be amazing,” while Joe demands: no machines, no mail-ins, precinct-level counting with ID only. The pieces are falling into place fraud exposure is coming fast. Meanwhile, Trump's UN Ambassador Waltz declares the Western Hemisphere off-limits to Russia, China, and Iran, and Trump puts Denmark on notice over Greenland. Protests erupted across the U.S. and world, with paid agitators (including Central CSO-linked groups) pushing division while Venezuelans call out the liberal mobs.NYC's new socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani kicks off with a subway photo-op and vows to replace “rugged individualism” with collectivism. His team's agenda—tenant director Cea Weaver, Muslim call-to-prayer pushes, and radical rhetoric signals Dearborn and Minneapolis-style transformation for the Big Apple. NYC is cooked, the blueprint is clear, and the left's vendetta is in full swing. This is the weekend the tide turned, wake up, get loud, or watch it all collapse.

Fidel Castro stole everything but their love and their lives. Same with my other grandparents Rafael and Ophelia and my Mom. They lost everything but their love and their lives. Now there's hope of a free Cuba for our long lost family there and hope of making past wrongs right once again. I'm with President Trump all the way. Cuba should be a rich, island paradise and it can be as a US territory. It's a strategic asset for our safety too as a base of operations to defend our homeland in the mainland US. There's no downside to toppling the communists who've only stayed in power by killing and jailing Cubans for decades. Now is the time. It can also serve as a helpful spot to run any US/Venezuela operations that benefits America instead of a narco pass through entity used by our enemies as a constant threat to American safety. Russia, China, Venezuela and many others have used Cuba to threaten us for long enough. It's time we take control and empower the Cuban people. No American blood needs to be spilled. This can be a massive win for the future of both Cuba and more importantly, for America. It's time for the evil of communism to die. https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007882386529542519?s=20 https://twitter.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2008187454595969240?s=20   rials monthly ($7). https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007930486438682861?s=20 https://twitter.com/RyanSaavedra/status/2007978922458444265?s=20   longer had it.

Cincinnati police and Secret Service agents responded swiftly to reports of the vandalism, arriving at the scene to detain the man without further incident.

And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice. Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly's seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay. To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly's reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly's official and permanent military personnel file. Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days. Captain Kelly's status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action. These actions are based on Captain Kelly’s public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay. https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/2008201370458075286?s=20  energy, and corporatism, all are reliant on the narcos for dark funding.

President Trump shut down a fake news reporter who was trying to create a wedge between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.   A legacy media reporter tried to stir up a little trouble and President Trump promptly shut her down. “What you say that Marco Rubio has your ear more than the Vice President right now?” a reporter asked President Trump. Trump shut it down. “No! They both do. JD is very smart and doing a great job and so is Marco! I would say they're equal,” Trump said.

This is apparently the overture of what is to come – The Secret Dominion/Huawei Data Center in Belgrade, Serbia – that emphatically and officially did not exist – DID exist and was disabled by U.S. gov employees just days prior to the 2024 election. It has now been dismantled, which may disappoint former CIA Director John Brennan, who reportedly financed half of it from the CIA ‘Black Budget.’ The other half of the funding was from our dear friends in China. That’s right, the theft of The US Presidency and multiple other elections worldwide was co-financed by our own CIA – Top Venezuelan engineers who reportedly designed and executed multiple foreign based election frauds in America using Dominion and Smartmatic systems are in America under U.S. gov protection and have provided sworn testimony. They include an engineer who personally helped illegally install Joe Biden as President in 2020 – These engineers are also joined by General Hugo Carvjal, former Head of Venezuelan Intelligence, now in jail in New York (his cellmate is Diddy Combs) and he is cooperating with Fed authorities (see below) – Another Venezuelan General has now also joined General Carvjal in providing 1st person testimony – Official state and court adduced evidence of 2020 election fraud has been compiled for every one of the battleground states. Cowardice and corruption within the American judiciary has scuttled any real progress – Georgia corruption came into better focus last month as Fulton County admitted not following the law concerning over 300K ‘votes’ and then their most corrupt state judge agreed to unseal the 2020 ‘warehouse ballots,’ many of which are officially sworn to be likely counterfeit. What a sad crooked bunch – The DOJ is suing multiple states to require compliance with Federal election laws including HAVA – Georgia is among them – and @AAGDhillon is leading the charge – President Trump pardoned Tina Peters but corrupt Colorado officials refuse to release her from prison. Colorado wants to litigate her role as a Federal officer in their elections while her health declines due to their horrible conditions. Colorado officials are going to pay dearly – An American Armada, the likes of which hasn’t been assembled in this century, sits off the coast of U.S. Election Theft Central. They are resting up after the historic strike extraction of Maduro. They will not idle long. The President promises to clean out all the cartel del Soles thugs and return Venezuela to democratic self governance.

I think we have graduated into a new phase of the operation. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007924998703366560?s=20   necessary for what comes later, when Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and sends US MIL to cities nationwide. If the US MIL are going to conduct mass arrests, the public will need to trust them and trust Trump. So for those asking why Trump is arresting Maduro before arresting treasonous actors in the US, I think there is method to the madness. The high-profile US arrests will likely be towards the end, after more of the public are fully bought in on the operation to dismantle the Deep State. Arresting people is the easy part. Convincing billions of people that high-profile individuals, including former heads of state, need to be arrested… that's the tricky part. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2008033626294792665?s=20 https://twitter.com/USDOL/status/2007933111729021305?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

A liberatory episode with special guest, Filip! Here are some highlights from our conversation:Supporting the spiritual gifts of childrenShame as a genius protective mechanism of the psycheFilip's experience growing up in Serbia / former Yugoslavia, the culture's hypermasculinization due to war creating a climate where it was very unsafe to be transThe revelation of realizing one's own internalized prejudice and starting to unpack and work with the shameInner healing intelligence; healing takes as long as it takes!Transforming traumaFinding MDMA as a fascinating medicine for ptsd, which is endemic in the BalkansIndigenous teachings around transgender topicsFilip Velimirovic (they/them) is a Serbian-born transgender non-binary healing teacher based in France. As part of their practice "Heal With Fil", they support women & people socialized as women to be mentally and emotionally fortified and transform trauma into renewed energy & hope.Filip has been an activist since they were 15. First for transitional justice & reconciliation in their native Balkans, then for drug policy reform and psychedelic science in the US & at the UN level, and more recently for community healing in the Trans / Queer community. After studying political science at a prestigious French university, they were quickly disillusioned by the potential of institutional politics to bring about a needed change.Upon finishing university, they designed their own curriculum: studying the interior world through yoga, meditation, psychotherapy, healing themselves and their female ancestral line with psychedelic-assisted therapy. In parallel to working in the cannabis, psychedelic, and tech spaces (to pay the bills), Filip worked to distill the best methods for healing & personal transformation. Using proven methods such as Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting, they now offer a safe space for folks who hold the vision of a better, more just world in their heart. Favorite conversation topics: divine feminine, healing ancestral lineages, transformation of trauma into community leadership, history of patriarchy, visions of ancestral future, Star Trek, psychedelics & homecooking recepies.Filip is guided in their practice by the following beliefs:Healing happens in community.Trans liberation = collective liberation.Our mental & physical health is a direct reflection of the state of all our relations—not only with other humans, but with our ancestors, the Earth, rivers, lands, animals, and plants.

At midnight on 01 January, Bulgaria became the 21st country in the European Union to adopt the Euro currency. Also, Serbia's main oil refinery has been given more time to find a new owner, as it tries to avoid US sanctions against Russian-owned oil companies. And, we visit the Chinese village at the centre of red paper lantern production.

Desde este primero de enero de 2026, Bulgaria, el país más pobre de la Unión Europea (U.E.), adopta el euro, la moneda única europea. Muchos ciudadanos temen que los precios se disparen a partir de este momento. Según el índice de Transparencia Internacional, Bulgaria se encuentra en el penúltimo lugar de la UE, solo por delante de Hungría, en cuanto a percepción de corrupción.  El pasado 11 de diciembre, y tras menos de un año en el gobierno, el primer ministro de Bulgaria, Rosen Zhelyazkov, anunció su dimisión horas después de una nueva manifestación de miles de ciudadanos - muchos de ellos jóvenes nacidos entre mediados de la década de los noventa y 2010- que desde hace un mes protestan contra la corrupción y contra un proyecto de presupuesto que implicaba subida de impuestos y cotizaciones sociales. La caída del gobierno ocurrió tres semanas antes de que los búlgaros empezaran a pagar en euros. Radiografía de un país en ebullición contra las redes clientelares y oligárquicas y la gran inestabilidad política con Ruth Ferrero, internacionalista especializada en los países del este europeo que hicieron parte de la Unión Soviética. RFI: ¿Qué implica para el país más pobre de Europa pasar a la zona euro? Ruth Ferrero: Algo que ya sabemos todos los que entramos en su momento en la zona euro: significa un incremento de los precios de absolutamente todo. Y esto, claro, tiene un impacto mucho mayor en poblaciones con mayor pobreza, como es el caso de Bulgaria. El impacto económico que va a tener la llegada del euro al país se va a hacer notar porque va a haber un incremento de los precios y, si eso no va acompañado de un incremento salarial y de algún tipo de garantías por parte del Gobierno y del propio marco comunitario, puede acelerar los procesos de activismo juvenil que estamos viendo. Además, esto va dentro del contexto particular de enorme inestabilidad política de Bulgaria que en los últimos años ha tenido prácticamente un primer ministro por año. Una de las cuestiones significativas en términos políticos es que es la primera vez que hay movilizaciones de la Generación Z que hacen caer a un gobierno. Esto no pasó en Serbia y no ha pasado tampoco en Marruecos. RFI: ¿Qué piden estos manifestantes búlgaros? Ruth Ferrero: Reformas profundas con medidas de regeneración democrática contra la corrupción, especialmente vinculadas a dos figuras políticas búlgaras que llevan bastante tiempo en la élite: Boïko Borissov y Delyan Peevksi, acusados no sin motivo por operar con prácticas clientelares y oligárquicas. Por tanto, los manifestantes piden un proceso electoral anticipado, con procesos de gobierno más transparentes y en el cual se dé una remodelación de toda la política económica que favorezca también a la gente joven. Tenemos que pensar que Bulgaria se inserta dentro de la región de los Balcanes de donde en los últimos años ha habido una emigración masiva de jóvenes que no encuentran que haya un futuro en su propio país.   RFI: ¿Cómo llegó el país a ser el más pobre del bloque europeo? Ruth Ferrero: Esto no es algo nuevo. Ya se vio en los años 90, después de la caída del régimen de Todor Jivkov. La economía de Bulgaria era absolutamente dependiente del bloque soviético y además, teniendo en cuenta las divisiones económicas que había dentro de ese bloque, la de Bulgaria era de las economías más dependientes, pero en términos de una producción menos cualificada o con menos valor añadido sostenida sobre la agricultura o la producción de perfumes de rosas, por ejemplo. Otras economías pudieron ser más resilientes, como las de los Bálticos que estaban dedicadas dentro del Comecon (Consejo de Ayuda Mutua Económica) a la producción de chips o producción de temas informáticos y de tecnología. Por tanto, el impacto de la entrada en la competición de las economías de mercado fue mucho más dolorosa para la sociedad búlgara que, en los 90, alcanzó una inflación de hasta de tres cifras. En esos años, tuvieron lugar una serie de ajustes económicos que llevaron a mucha gente al desempleo. Estaba también la reconversión industrial para converger con lo que solicitaba la Unión Europea para poder ser miembro del bloque, junto con procesos de inestabilidad política que nunca se han terminado de superar. En la Europa de los 90, entre los países con mayores índices de corrupción estaban Rumanía, Bulgaria y Polonia. Polonia ya ha ido saliendo, pero Rumanía y Bulgaria continúan en esos puestos. Claro, en un contexto de gran corrupción, redes clientelares y redes oligárquicas, se hace mucho más complicado que se reactive la economía. RFI: Usted citaba a dos personajes políticos que son el emblema de la corrupción en Bulgaria. ¿Quiénes son ellos y a quiénes representan? Ruth Ferrero: Delyan Peevksi es una figura política y económica muy conocida. Es un magnate, un oligarca de los medios de comunicación búlgaros. Lleva metido en política desde mediados de los años 2000.  Y es uno de los líderes del Movimiento por los Derechos y las Libertades, que es el tercer partido dentro del sistema político búlgaro, hace de bisagra entre los más liberales y los más conservadores y representa parte a las comunidades turcas y gitana. Esto no se puede decir en términos legales porque está prohibido por la Constitución búlgara. El Movimiento por los Derechos y las Libertades representa el símbolo de la corrupción sistémica en Bulgaria y se le acusa de capturar directamente al Estado. El término de captura del Estado se refiere a la infiltración de los partidos a través de redes clientelares dentro de la propia administración del Estado para obtener beneficios económicos. Peevksi ha sido sancionado también por Estados Unidos bajo la Ley Magnitsky que castiga fundamentalmente a individuos que tienen causas por corrupción significativa y abuso de poder en algún país. Es uno de los oligarcas fundamentales del país. En cuanto a Boïko Borissov, ha sido primer ministro en tres ocasiones, desde el año 2013 hasta 2021. Es una persona marcada por casos de corrupción, por ser un facilitador de esas redes y operar en términos clientelares. El hecho de haber sido primer ministro, además, le ha permitido poner en marcha procesos que hemos visto también en otros países de la región y que operan contra los mecanismos estructurales del Estado de Derecho, poniendo especial presión sobre los medios de comunicación y la justicia. Todo esto junto con sus relaciones con los oligarcas, entre otros, con Delyan Peevksi, deja ver claramente las redes de connivencia entre el poder económico y el poder político.  

While the Western Front quickly descended into trench warfare, the fighting in the East remained highly mobile, spanning vast distances across Eastern Europe. In this episode, Sean and James discuss Austria-Hungary’s failed invasions of Serbia, Russia’s disastrous defeats at Tannenberg and the Masurian Lakes, and the massive but costly Russian victory over Austria at Galicia. Listeners will learn how poor leadership, logistical chaos, and ethnic divisions crippled the Austro-Hungarian and Russian armies alike. By year’s end, both sides were bloodied and exhausted, setting the stage for a long and brutal struggle in the East.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remembering Ana Walsh 4/12/1983-1/1/2023In this episode, we revisit the disappearance and murder of Ana Walshe, the 39‑year‑old mother of three who vanished from her home in Cohasset, Massachusetts on New Year's Day 2023. Her case captured national attention and became one of the most closely watched true crime investigations in New England.Cohasset -- a quiet coastal town south of Boston and the filming location for Thoroughbreds (2017), The Finest Hours (2016), and The Witches of Eastwick (1987) -- was shaken when Ana was reported missing. I first covered her story in February 2023 (Episode 39), shortly after her husband, Brian Walshe, was arrested and his long history of fraud and deception began to surface.When a mother disappears, leaving behind three young children, the fear is immediate. Investigators quickly painted a grim picture, and as the likelihood of finding Ana alive faded, I began researching "no body" cases in New England. These cases are rare but not unprecedented. Massachusetts has secured convictions in the murders of Robin Benedict (1983) and Katherine Leonard Romano (1998). And the landmark Helle Crafts case in Connecticut (1986) set a national precedent for prosecuting murder cases where no body has been recovered.Ana was last seen in the early hours of January 1, 2023. The Walshes had hosted a friend, Gem Mutlu, for New Year's Eve. Gem later testified about his close relationship with the family and his affection for the children. He first met Brian through the Boston Breakthrough Academy, a leadership and personal‑development program focused on emotional intelligence, communication, and personal responsibility. Though the organization appears inactive today, its curriculum emphasized transformational growth and “vision‑driven leadership.” Gem had known the family since 2020, and Ana even served as director of operations for his team until 2022, when she accepted what she called her “dream job” in Washington, D.C.Ana was reported missing on January 4, 2023 -- not by her husband, but by her employer, Tishman Speyer, after she failed to show up for work after the holiday. Her husband attempted to stage a cover story by telling friends she had rushed to D.C. for a work emergency. While there had been issues in the past with a property, nothing justified an urgent holiday departure. Ana's professional rise was remarkable. After immigrating from Serbia in 2005, she worked seasonal hospitality jobs at The Inn at Little Washington in Virginia -- first as a housekeeper, then as a server. Through determination and talent, she built a career in luxury real estate and corporate operations, ultimately landing a leadership role in Washington, D.C. This episode examines the evidence presented in the Brian Walshe murder trial, the timeline of Ana's disappearance, and the pursuit of justice for a woman whose life was defined by resilience, ambition, and love for her children.More at crimeofthetruestkind.com/justice-for-ana-walsheOnline: CrimeoftheTruestKind.comCreated, written, hosted by Anngelle Wood#Massachusetts #massachusettstruecrime #NewEngland #TrueCrime #Advocacy #Podcast #Unsolved #Missing Hosted on Acast.

Dejan Djokić's book A Concise History of Serbia (Cambridge UP, 2023) covers the full span of Serbia's history – from the sixth-century Slav migrations through until the present day – in an effort to understand the country's position at the crossroads of east and west. The book traces key developments surrounding the medieval and modern polities associated with Serbs, offering fresh interpretations and revealing a fascinating history of entanglements and communication between southeastern and wider Europe, which often had global implications. In structuring his inquiry around several recurring themes including migration, shifting borders, and the fate of small nations, Djokic challenges some of the prevailing stereotypes about Serbia and reveals the vitality of Serbian identity through the centuries. Dejan Djokić is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History and Founding Director of the Centre for the Study of the Balkans at Goldsmiths College, University of London. In June 2023, he will join the National University of Ireland, Maynooth, as Professor of History. Djokic's research brings together three main strands of inquiry: the Yugoslav war; the global and cultural history of the Cold War; and the history of Southeastern Europe since the Middle Ages. His publications include Nikola Pašić and Ante Trumbić: The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (2010) and Elusive Compromise: A History of Interwar Yugoslavia (2007), as well as contributions to numerous edited volumes, including New Perspectives on Yugoslavia: Key Issues and Controversies (2011).

Episode 14 of 15 | Season 36: Serial Killers in HistoryIn a locked storage chamber in rural Hungary, seven sealed metal drums waited to reveal their terrible secrets—each containing the perfectly preserved body of a woman who had answered a marriage advertisement.The investigation into Hungary's most prolific lonely hearts killer reaches its chilling conclusion as we trace Béla Kiss's extraordinary escape from justice during the chaos of World War One.VICTIM PROFILE:Katherine Varga sold her dressmaking business for the promise of marriage. Margaret Toth trusted her mother's choice of a husband. These women weren't victims of circumstance—they were successful, independent, and looking for partnership in an era when marriage advertisements represented a respectable path to companionship. They responded to notices in Budapest newspapers, exchanged romantic letters with a successful tinsmith named Béla Kiss, and traveled alone to his home in Cinkota with their valuables and their hopes. The skills that had supported Katherine's independence—her precise needlework—would later identify her remains years after Kiss strangled her and sealed her body in an alcohol-filled drum.THE CRIME:This case changed how Hungarian law enforcement approached missing persons cases and marriage advertisement fraud. Kiss's crimes exposed the vulnerability of women seeking companionship in early twentieth-century society and demonstrated how a charismatic predator could weaponize social conventions for years without detection. The preserved bodies—so pristine that victims remained recognizable years after death—stand as haunting evidence of how ordinary systems can shield extraordinary evil. Béla Kiss remains one of criminology's greatest unsolved mysteries, his ability to disappear so completely ensuring his story continues to captivate researchers worldwide.Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence against women and discussions of serial murder. Listener discretion advised.KEY CASE DETAILS:The investigation into Béla Kiss began in mid-1916 when landlord Márton Kresinszky and pharmacist Béla Takács discovered seven metal drums in Kiss's locked storage chamber. Each drum, professionally sealed with lead solder, contained a woman's body preserved in wood alcohol and strangled with a rope or garrotte. Investigators found seventeen more bodies throughout the property, bringing the total to twenty-four victims—all killed with the same methodical approach.Timeline: Kiss operated between 1912-1914, placing matrimonial advertisements in Budapest newspapers under the alias "Hofmann." Conscripted to the 40th Honvéd Infantry Brigade in 1914, he left his home in housekeeper Mrs. Jakubec's care. The discovery came nearly two years later during renovation preparations.Method: Kiss corresponded with 174 women, actively pursued 74, and lured victims by emphasizing his financial stability and respectable tinsmith business. He requested women travel alone and bring their valuables. After strangling them, he took their assets and preserved bodies in alcohol-filled drums—a technique that astounded medical examiners with its effectiveness.Escape: In October 1916, Detective Chief Charles Nagy traveled to a Serbian military hospital after reports Kiss was alive. He arrived to find a corpse in Kiss's bed—but the face was wrong. Kiss had switched identity documents with a dying soldier and walked out of the hospital into the chaos of war-torn Serbia.Aftermath: In 1932, New York City homicide detective Henry Oswald was certain he spotted Kiss emerging from the Times Square subway station. The sighting was never confirmed. Whether Kiss died in the trenches, lived out his days under an assumed identity, or met some other fate remains unknown. The mathematics of his notebook—174 contacts, 74 pursued, 24 found—leaves terrible questions about fifty unaccounted women.HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND SOURCES:This episode draws on contemporary Hungarian police records, the detailed account by Austro-Hungarian author Frigyes Karinthy who witnessed the body examinations, court documents from earlier proceedings against Kiss by victims Julianne Paschak and Elizabeth Komeromi, and historical research into World War One-era military hospital conditions in occupied Serbia. The investigation reveals how wartime chaos enabled Kiss's escape and how early twentieth-century record-keeping failures allowed a serial killer to vanish completely.RESOURCES AND FURTHER READING:For listeners interested in exploring this case further, these historically significant sources provide additional context:The Hungarian National Archives maintains police investigation records from the original 1916 Cinkota discovery and subsequent manhuntAcademic research on early twentieth-century matrimonial fraud and lonely hearts schemes in Austro-Hungarian newspapersMilitary hospital records from WWI-era Serbia documenting the typhoid epidemic and identification challenges that enabled Kiss's escapeContemporary newspaper coverage from Budapest publications reporting on the barrel discoveriesRELATED FOUL PLAY EPISODES:If you enjoyed this early twentieth-century Hungarian case, explore these related Foul Play episodes:Season 36, Episode 12: Maria Swanenburg - Another insurance-focused serial killer from the 1880s Netherlands who targeted vulnerable community membersSeason 36, Episode 9: Maria Jeanneret - Swiss poisoner who exploited positions of trust to prey on isolated victimsSeason 36, Episode 15: Karl Denke - German serial killer who evaded detection through community respectability until the 1920sFoul Play is hosted by Shane Waters and Wendy Cee.

Dive into one of history's most heartwarming wartime stories! In this episode of "Echoes of War," we uncover the incredible Christmas Truce of 1914 during World War I. As Europe descended into chaos, sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, alliances pulled nations into a devastating conflict. From Austria-Hungary's invasion of Serbia to Germany's Schlieffen Plan and brutal battles like the Marne and Ypres, the Western Front became a nightmare of trenches and stalemate by late 1914. But on Christmas Eve, something miraculous happened. Amid the mud and misery near Ypres, British and German soldiers set aside their rifles. It started with carols echoing across no man's land—"Silent Night" sung in harmony. Soon, troops emerged, exchanging gifts like cigarettes, chocolate, and even helmets as souvenirs. They buried their fallen comrades together, shared meals, and famously played impromptu football matches in the frozen fields. Eyewitness accounts describe handshakes, laughter, and a profound sense of shared humanity, with around 100,000 soldiers participating in this unauthorized ceasefire. Though high commands disapproved and quickly ended it with bombardments and troop rotations, the truce symbolized the soldiers' longing for peace. It didn't repeat in later years as the war's horrors intensified with battles like Verdun and the Somme. Join us to explore this poignant reminder of hope amid horror—proof that even in war, humanity can shine through.

In this episode, Dominic Bowen and Aidan Hehir discuss the legacy of the Srebrenica genocide, the politics of remembrance, and why, nearly thirty years later, the region continues to struggle with denial, revisionism, and rising ethnic tensions.Find out more about how competing narratives have shaped post-war identities, the role of international courts in establishing the historical record, and the impact of recent political developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Republika Srpska.The conversation also addresses the fragility of peace in the Western Balkans, the limitations of international interventions, the erosion of democratic norms, and the dangers posed by nationalist rhetoric and historical distortion.Finally, they explore what meaningful remembrance should look like, how civil society can counter denial, and whether the international community is equipped or willing to prevent future atrocities in the region.Aidan Hehir is a Professor of International Relations at the University of Westminster, where he has taught since 2007 after positions at the University of Sheffield and the University of Limerick, where he also earned his PhD in 2005.

We explore what makes Vojvodina a unique region within Serbia and how it is shaped by a mix of ethnicities, languages, and traditions. We also discuss the city of Prizren, drawing parallels between these geographically distant parts of the Balkans and reflecting on the perspectives shaped by living in multicultural environments.

After the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, Australia tightened its gun laws, and has since been considered a world-leading example by gun control advocates of how to lessen the chances of mass shootings occurring.However, the mass murder of at least 15 people in an antisemitic attack at Bondi beach on Sunday has again raised the issue of gun access, and Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese has said he is “ready to fight” to strengthen the laws again.On today's show, Ariel Bogle, an investigations reporter with Guardian Australia, explains why the number of guns in Australia has been rising, and how stricter laws might be received in the country.The Global Story brings clarity to politics, business and foreign policy in a time of connection and disruption.

Met. Luke of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) delivered this address on December 4, 2025 at the conference titled: "The Crucifixion of Orthodoxy in the 21st Century: Spiritual Wars, Ecumenical Offensive, and Global Politics" hosted by Center for Geostrategic Studies in Belgrade, Serbia.

The story starts with Donald Trump commuting the sentence of Rod Blagojevich then and a pardon. What is the real story behind this movement and how does Jared Kushner fit into this picture?

Agentforce is everywhere and everything but in speaking to many ISVs, they are still wondering when is the right time to lean into AI with more than just a story. Where in the hype cycle are we is something I wonder about a lot. So I set out to find an ISV that is actually succeeding in the Agentforce world and that journey led me to Igor Stosic, CEO of Quadrix Soft who make Goat Email on the AppExchange, as my next guest on How We Got There. They are actually selling the first Agentforce use cases for customers, which has to be making AEs covering those accounts VERY happy. Igor is based out of Serbia so we touch on the geographical benefits and challenges around being an ISV out of Europe. They've found a lot of success driving leads from the AppExchange from a gtm perspective. We touch on what has been working and mistakes made along the way, sharing transparent feedback about how to build an app that goes wide so you can know what works for customers and lean into those items.But then we dove into the main topic of Agentforce. We touched on various concepts like how they came up with the Agentforce use case, how they monetize the Agentforce element, and much more. A specific example a use case where they use Agentforce is variability of tone based on the location of the customer that you are interacting with - sending an email to someone in the US looks different from sending an email to someone in Germany.If you are curious about Agentforce, this episode is for you. This episode is brought to you by Tequity Advisors .

Tommy and Ben discuss the horrific Bondi Beach terror attack, the rise of antisemitism in Australia, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bad-faith attempt to connect Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state to this violence, and the perpetrators potentially training in the Philippines. They also talk about the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and how it fits into President Trump's creep towards regime change, Chile's election of the most right-wing President since Pinochet and Trump gleefully taking credit, questions about why US troops are still in Syria after the death of two US soldiers, pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai's conviction in Hong Kong, a proposed policy to check the social media accounts of visitors to the US, the death of Jared Kushner's corrupt hotel deal in Serbia, and highlights from episode 2 of The Liz Truss Show. Then, Ben speaks to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, about global shifts to watch for in 2026.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

The killing of two US service members in an attack in Syria over the weekend has raised questions about the future of American forces in the country. Also, prosecutors in Serbia have charged a government minister with abuse of office and falsifying of documents in an apparent attempt to pave the way for a real estate project financed by a company linked to Jared Kushner, US President Trump's son-in-law. And, a look at a secret software that can track anyone anywhere. Plus, new theories arise into the cause of one of Europe's worst maritime disasters, three decades later.

Double Tap Episode 440 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Mitchell Defense, Night Fision, Second Call Defense, Rost Martin, and Swampfox Optics   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 440! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews. +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Operative Enthalpy - Dear WLSWhat are your thoughts on a tunable gas block, like the one from Odin Works, versus a standard gas block, or an adjustable gas block. Is it a solution looking for a problem that should be solved by having a proper gas port size in your barrel, or is it a somewhat valuable option for tuning a range or hunting gun to function smoothly for general operating conditions.Operative Enthalpy Anonymous Coward from GA - Do you think the top part of a mermaid also tastes like fish or that it would actually be red meat? Would there be a solid line where the meat changes in their body or would it kind of blend? Could you make a surf and turf platter with one carcass? Fisher Cat - Hey guys, was thinking of getting a shotgun. In your opinion should I get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500? Both of them are at my LGS for $400 and I'm torn between which would be better for home defense and hunting. Also, would a shotgun be a good weapon to have in an event where society collapses? Thanks keep up the good fight #ssb#ShootStraight Gaston Glock - Is the aftermarket beaver tail for Glocks to adjust the grip angle to be more like a 1911 a gimmick or would it actually be something to consider if you like how a 1911 feels in your hand. Zac C - Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on what I went with for my son's first real gun for his 13th birthday. Went with the ruger American gen 2 .243 20” barrel partly because of the removable LOP on the stock, then when he's bigger he can still use it as a full size gun. Added an sig buckmaster 3x9 that my brother got him paired with some leupold rings. Thanks for the opinions that I might hear before his next birthday. Shute str8 notes in 90-120 business days Scott G - I noticed we don't talk about Brownells anymore. Are they no longer a sponsor? Matt A - 2 questions…I have a comp'd g43x and am thinking about changing out the guide rod and spring to a lighter weight than the 17# oem spring. Is the a difference or an advantage in using a single spring guide rod set vs dual spring sets? Ammo used is defensive 124 gr jhp. In regards to ammo, what's the benefit to using +p ammo in a comp'd handgun and will the extra pressure negate what the compensator is supposed to do?Thanks and love the show.   Chris M - How much does the Gideon Guardeon 1-8x FFP scope weigh? My deer getter, a 16"" .450 bush hamster AR, with a 19oz Dead Air Primal is already getting kind of heavy. I have a swampfox trihawk on it now, and while it's nice, it's also a pound and if I could get more zooms for the same weight, I want to go back to an LPVO The winner of this week's swag pack is Zac C!

  In Episode 93, we sit down in person with Djordje Stijepovic, aka BullFiddleCat. Djordje is the upright bass player for Tiger Army, Molotov, Drake Bell, and countless others, along with his own solo project. Frank Quaranted, George, and I had an incredible conversation with Djordje about growing up in Serbia in the 1980s, starting a rockabilly band in fifth grade, and his journey to the United States, where he went on to play with the who's who of the rockabilly world.

Brian Walshe is on trial right now in Dedham, Massachusetts for the first-degree murder of his wife Ana — a 39-year-old real estate executive, immigrant from Serbia, and mother of three young boys. Ana was last seen alive in the early hours of New Year's Day 2023. Her body has never been found. But what prosecutors and the defense agree on is this: Brian Walshe dismembered her remains and discarded them in dumpsters across the region. He's already pleaded guilty to that. He just says he didn't kill her. The defense theory is unlike anything we've seen in a high-profile murder case. Attorney Larry Tipton told jurors that Ana Walshe died suddenly and unexpectedly in bed — no cause, no explanation — and that Brian panicked. He didn't think anyone would believe it was natural. So instead of calling 911, he made a series of catastrophic decisions that included internet searches for "best way to dispose of a body," "hacksaw best tool for dismembering," and research into a serial killer known as the "trash bag killer." The defense says those searches prove panic, not premeditation. Prosecutors see it differently. They've told the jury this was a planned killing motivated by money and betrayal. Ana had $2.7 million in life insurance policies naming Brian as the sole beneficiary. She was also having an affair with William Fastow, a D.C. real estate broker — and prosecutors say Brian knew. His phone searched Fastow's name on Christmas Day, less than a week before Ana vanished. The internet searches, prosecutors argue, aren't evidence of panic. They're a roadmap. In this full breakdown, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins me to dissect every angle of this case. We start with the defense strategy: the decision to plead guilty to the lesser charges, the viability of the "sudden death" theory, and whether putting Walshe on the stand is a necessary gamble. Then we dig into the prosecution's case: the digital evidence, the insurance motive, the affair, and the challenges of proving first-degree murder without a body. Finally, we examine the trial dynamics — including the Michael Proctor scandal, Walshe's jail stabbing and mental competency evaluation, and what to watch as this case heads toward a verdict. This is a case that will test the limits of circumstantial evidence and force a jury to answer an almost impossible question: Can you believe a man who admits he cut up his wife when he says he didn't kill her? #BrianWalshe #BrianWalsheTrial #AnaWalshe #MurderTrial #EricFaddis #DefenseAttorney #FormerProsecutor #FullBreakdown #NoBodyMurder #Dismemberment #LifeInsurance #GoogleSearches #MichaelProctor #KarenRead #Massachusetts #TrueCrime #CourtTV #TrialAnalysis #Cohasset #SuddenDeathDefense #WilliamFastow #FirstDegreeMurder #CircumstantialEvidence #CriminalJustice #TrueCrimePodcast #LegalAnalysis #DeepDive Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A week of intensive US diplomacy is wrapping up, with no Ukraine deal in sight, and escalating threats from Moscow. 30 years ago, the Dayton Agreement brought an end to the savage war in Bosnia, where, like Putin's dream of a greater Russia today, Serbia wanted more land and control, not an independent Bosnia. Rupert Smith was commander of the United Nations peacekeeping forces at the end of that conflict. Through his four decades in the military, he also led troops in the first Gulf war and Northern Ireland. He joins the program from London.   Also on today's show: photographer Annie Leibovitz; Bulwark reporter Will Sommer  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
