We hear so much about product in fashion; about the clothes, and the brands. Thankfully, we're now starting to hear more about the makers, garment workers and skilled artisans behind the manufacturing scenes. But we still hear very little from the people and processes behind the raw materials.This week, we're looking at wool, with a lovely interview with Tasmanian woolgrower Simon Cameron, who Clare met seven years ago while writing Wardrobe Crisis. Simon manages Kingston in the northern Midlands of Tasmania, near(ish) to Launceston. His father farmed it before him. In fact, the property has been it in the family for four generations. Now, as then, Simon shares the joint with wombats, wallabies, bettongs even Tassie devils, and mob of superfine Merino sheep. But the little things are just as important - the native grasses and wild flowers, which, here, are largely intact in some of the state's last remaining pristine grasslands as they were pre-colonial invasion.What are the challenges of managing the land in this way? What's life really like on the land? How is Kingston's clip produced and makes it so special? And what's the story behind MJ Bale's quest to make carbon neutral wool?Love the show?

On Daily Faith, Philip's guest is Pastor Mark Harrell of Victory Christian Fellowship in Somerset, KY. Pastor Mark grew up in Louisiana and attended Bethany Baptist Church, and it's there where he met Simon Cameron, Philip's father, many years ago. Simon Cameron was a mighty man of God that Pastor Mark looked up to at a young age, and he cherished the words that Simon Cameron spoke. Pastor Mark hid those words in his heart and used them to encourage his daily walk with Jesus. That is what Daily Faith is here to do. We want to sow seeds of faith, encouragement into your heart, giving you a Rhema word from heaven to hold on to that will guide you along your faith journey with Jesus. Life is about the relationships that we make and how we steward what God has given us. You may never know the impact your words have in someone else's life. Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and when we speak God's truth and life over someone's life, seeds of hope and faith are deposited into their hearts by His love. The earth is the Lord's harvest field, and you are the sower that God wants to use to minister through. Just as God transformed Simon Cameron's heart many years ago, speaking words of wisdom, he was sowing seeds of faith to those around him. We want to help you become a kingdom thinker who will boldly speak the truth of Jesus to a dying world. For more information about Victory Christian Fellowship with Pastor Mark Harrell, please visit www.vcfsomerset.com.    Did you know that Moldova is one of the poorest countries in the world? It has the highest death rate led by drug and alcohol consumption. In this impoverished country, orphaned and abandoned children are subject to the risks of human trafficking. These kids are told that no one loves them, and they will never become anything in life. Once they come of age, the orphanages send them back to the places where they came. We have a ministry of homes in Moldova called Vatra Village. We help save them from the perils of a devastating life and have sown a seed of hope, faith, and encouragement into their hearts. It is a safe place for these lost children to learn about the gospel of Jesus, becoming sons and daughters. We are witnessing the transforming light of Jesus shining through them as they leave the pain they have experienced in the past. No longer slaves to fear and rejection, they are rebuilding Godly relationships with those who abandoned them, reaping blessings of hope for their future.

Date: March 10, 2017 Speaker: Paul Kahan Topic: Simon Cameron, Lincoln's First Secretary of War - Chicago Civil War Round Table Monthly Meeting

Results from a long awaited deer census have Tasmanian farmers renewing calls for a tougher stance on deer management, and Northern Midlands farmer Simon Cameron believes the estimated population of 54,000 deer is well short of the mark in the Midlands and north east.

Like some of the other figures we’ve covered, Simon Cameron reached the top of the political ladder, only to have to ultimately resign in shame. What makes Cameron’s situation unique is that he stumbled into the wrong position at the wrong time—as Secretary of War, during the outbreak of the Civil War.

Introduction The term “loyal opposition” was born in the parliamentary government system, meaning that those out of power, while still having many disagreements with the party in power, were still loyal to their country and the need for the government to get things done for the citizens they--all sides--serve. In any governmental system, including ours here in the US, opposition, if it is loyal, can be a huge plus. If the opposition is disloyal, it can be an equally huge minus. That’s the subject of today’s 10-minute podcast. Continuing Both Republican President Lincoln and Democratic President Roosevelt were justifiably well known for using a “Team of Rivals” as their Cabinets and senior advisors. Churchill did the same when he became Britain’s Prime Minister in 1940. He appointed the most two senior members of the opposition Labour Party to his 5-man war ministry. One of the two was Neville Chamberlain, then Prime Minister when disgraced himself by capitulating to Hitler with his infamous, “We shall have peace in our time” claim after giving Czechoslovakia to ‘ol Adolph in exchange for a piece of paper promising peace. Hitler attacked, starting WWII a few months later. These American Presidents and the British Prime Minister knew they could rely on their opposition to be loyal to their countries and meet their countries' needs--despite their political differences. Lincoln, Roosevelt and Churchill chose the team of rivals approach because it best served their nations. It had to be much harder to have dissenting voices in their inner circles, but all ideas were heard--to everyone’s advantage. And the citizens in the countries had to be comforted by seeing that their leaders were working together for their benefit. As World War II approached, Democrat Roosevelt appointed new individuals to key positions. Frank Knox, the 1936 Republican vice presidential nominee, became Secretary of the Navy while former Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, another Republican, became Secretary of War--key positions, especially in wartime. Both men performed admirably under Roosevelt, and as part of a Democrat/Republican Team of Rivals. President Lincoln’s cabinet included all of his major rivals for the Republican nomination for President in 1860—William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Simon Cameron and Edward Bates. Some of these men had been effectively promised positions as part of the negotiations that led to Mr. Lincoln’s nomination at the Republican national convention in May 1860. Many of them objected to the inclusion of each other in the cabinet. There were worries about both geographic distribution and balance between former members of the Whig and Democratic Parties. But it worked, and worked well.   Politicians today are too busy accusing each other, including competing members of their own party, of everything from being idiots to being traitors, that they are unable to take advantage of individual strengths, regardless of party, as part of successful teams that deliver for America. In the US, most politicians seem to have taken an oath to be the disloyal opposition. Quite the opposite of a team of rivals, the current approach is to make anyone who disagrees with them the enemy. The actual enemy. “Resist.” Either by openly resisting any and all action by the other party, or by supporting those who walk around openly and angrily resisting. Politicians know the advantages of a team of rivals approach, but those advantages accrue mainly to the country and its citizens--not to them and their party. So that's out. We voters are also guilty. We have allowed ourselves to be so deeply influenced by the us-vs-them approach to life in general and politics in particular, that we keep voting for “My team is the only team” politicians. On both sides. And the media actively support this dysfunctional way of doing business. When we talk about teams of rivals, when we talk about mixing parties,

As the second Republican National Convention met in between May 16th and 18th, 1860 it had seemed like it would go to New York Senator William Seward. Experienced, from a large state, and without a serious contender with the National Profile necessary to swing the delegates, he had a road map to victory. He would contain Senator Simon Cameron in Pennsylvania, and let Congressman Henry Bates and Governor Salmon Chase split the Ohio delegates. Abraham Lincoln, who had just recently lost the Senate Election to Stephen Douglas, considered the front runner at the Democratic Convention that was to reconvene in Baltimore might make a stir but he hardly had the profile to mount a serious campaign against him. He would offer him the Vice Presidency on the second ballot to shore up his support and ensure the much needed Western States were represented on the ticket.  In many senses it was Seward's to lose as nothing seemed to stand in the way of his ambition or his path to the White House. It was his time and it was his chance to make it happen. He would capitalize on his opponents at the Convention and then his opponents in the general election doing much of the same thing as he coasted to victory.  Yet a strange thing would happen at Wigwam Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois as the former Congressman’s campaign started to show life that Seward and his people hadn’t quite expected. Suddenly it was a race between the New York Senator and Lincoln. Little did he know that over the course of the next few days he would be out maneuvered by the man who had only met with limited electoral success as Lincoln’s surrogates started to nip at his heels and slowly narrow the gap between the two of them. If ever there was a man to live up to British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli’s designation from The Young Duke written almost thirty years prior it would be the upstart from Illinois. This is the story of Lincoln’s dark horse candidacy for the Republican Party’s 1860, and his unexpected win on May 18th, the beginning of a path that would take him to a narrow victory for the White House a few month later and forever alter the course of American history.

October 3, 2016 - This week, our time machine has a familiar face in the passenger seat. It's Paul Kahan, who joined us previously to discuss The Bank War: Andrew Jackson, Nicholas Biddle, and the Fight for American Finance. You can catch that interview at History Author.com or wherever you're listening now, and you enjoy the video we produced illustrating the political and journalistic changes occurring at the time of the Bank War. Paul joins us again to discuss his latest work, Amiable Scoundrel: Simon Cameron, Lincoln's Scandalous Secretary of War. From abject poverty to undisputed political boss of Pennsylvania -- no easy feat in the notoriously fractious Keystone State -- Simon Cameron served as senator, and ultimately Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of War as the nation tore itself apart over slavery, at the outset of the Civil War. You can visit this week's guest at PaulKahan.com, or follow him on Twitter @Paul_Kahan, and check out his subject at the The John Harris – Simon Cameron Mansion in Harrisburg, PA.        

From abject poverty to undisputed political boss of Pennsylvania, Lincoln’s secretary of war, senator, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and a founder of the Republican Party, Simon Cameron (1799–1889) was one of the nineteenth century’s most prominent political figures. The political changes of the early nineteenth century enabled him not only to improve his status but also to exert real political authority. The changes caused by the Civil War, in turn, allowed Cameron to consolidate his political authority into a successful, well-oiled political machine. A key figure in designing and implementing the Union’s military strategy during the Civil War’s crucial first year, Cameron played an essential role in pushing Abraham Lincoln to permit the enlistment of African Americans into the U.S. Army, a stance that eventually led to his forced resignation. Yet his legacy has languished, nearly forgotten save for the fact that his name has become shorthand for corruption, even though no evidence has ever been presented to prove that Cameron was corrupt. Paul Kahan is a lecturer at Ohlone College in Fremont, California. He is the author of “The Bank War: Andrew Jackson, Nicholas Biddle, and the Fight for American Finance” and “The Homestead Strike: Labor, Violence, and American Industry.”

"I want to like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 92% (R-Florida). In fact, I want to love him. I want to support him for president. I thought his debate performance was magnificent. He was clear, concise and consistent. It’s clear Rubio has a Reaganesque speaking and communications skills lacking in the DNA of most GOP candidates.  But I cannot. While Rubio might have Reagan’s communication skills, he lacks Reagan’s core principled beliefs, particularly when it comes to federalism. Rubio ran and was elected as an outsider. Yet within moments of arriving in the U.S. Senate he decided to hold hands and get into bed with liberal Democrat Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on immigration. That bothers me. No doubt. But what bothers me more is Rubio’s willingness to abandon principles to help big money donors and contributors even when they trample of core constitutional principles. First, it is clear that Rubio has decided to play footsie with billionaire establishment donor Sheldon Adelson in order to win the “Adelson primary.” The winner of the “Adelson primary” can be the beneficiary of millions of dollars in political spending. Adleson cares about three issues — Israel; a prohibition on Internet gaming and re-establishment federal power and regulation on marijuana policy. In two of the cases — Internet gambling and pot regulation — Adelson’s position runs counter to that of a limited federal government. Gambling has always been regulated by the states. Each state has a different law and a different way of dealing with the issue. Hawaii and Utah have no legal gambling while other states allow everything from lotteries to riverboat gambling. Whether you support gambling or not, this is the proper way to regulate it — is in 50 state legislatures and not in Washington. In comes Mr. Adelson.  Adleson stood by and watched New Jersey and two other states legalize online gambling for their residents. Instead of pressing his case in Trenton and other state capitals, he turned to his friends in Washington to overturn these state laws. Mr. Rubio and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) 44% (R-SC) were willing to lend a helping hand, introducing legislation drafted by Mr. Adleson’s personal lobbyist. During a recent radio interview, Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Michelle Minton noted that legislation proposed by Rubio and Graham would redefine intrastate commerce conducted by two parties on the Internet both within a state as interstate commerce to be regulated by the federal government. This radical expansion of federal power will limit Adelson’s competition —  state regulated online gaming. Then Rubio also declared war on Colorado and other states that have legalized marijuana. Rubio, in concert with the Adelson’s position, is the only GOP candidate willing to have the federal government enforce a war on pot, even against states that exercised their right to legalize the plant.  So much for a limited federal government and granting power to the states. It’s not just Adelson issues that Rubio is willing to sell his soul. At a recent gathering of libertarians, Rubio defended his stalwart support of the sugar subsidy by saying he would only oppose the subsidy when other countries abandoned their subsidy programs.  Of course, the beneficiary of the sugar subsidy is the Fanjul Brothers, the most powerful sugar tycoons in the world.  It’s no surprise the Fanjul family are political contributors to Mr. Rubio. Rather than being a principled conservative, Rubio is more of a Simon Cameron conservative. Cameron is, of course, Lincoln’s Secretary of War who said, ” An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.”   Michelle Minton, is the Director of "Sindustry Studies" at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, where she promotes Liberty by defending the likes of gamblers, smokers, drinkers, junk food eaters, & insurance agents (basically one and the same).
