This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveOur special guest this week, David Polansky is a political theorist and commentator who lives in Canada. A frequent contributor to Wisdom of Crowds, he joins Shadi Hamid and Damir Marusic to discuss two excellent recent essays. The first one, titled “Does Canada Exist?” is about Canadian national identity, an issue that has become more relevant since Donald Trump has taken to calling Canada the 51st state, and while some in the western Canadian province of Alberta has floated the idea of seceding from the rest of Canada. Polansky's article was quoted in the New York Times and National Post.David's most recent peace, “Michael Jordan Yes; Winston Churchill No?” is about what makes politicians great and whether political greatness (in terms of impact) can be distinguished from moral goodness. After one hundred days of Trump, it is an important question to ask.What follows is a rollicking and often hilarious conversation in which various politicians — Justin Trudeau, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump — are sized up according to the standards of classical greatness and found wanting. Damir and Shadi nevertheless argue that Trump is the most consequential president since FDR. Polansky argues that Trump's impact is in large part due to the fact that the Left is lost right now. It is lost, he argues, because it cannot create a new identity, and instead tries to forge unity around “niche issues,” like the Palestine question.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, the gang muses on Trump's relationship to shame; Polansky distinguishes between courage and guts, and why Trump has the latter but not former; Shadi asks, “What do you think about Stalin?”; Damir explains why Trump is like a character in a science fiction novel; Polansky argues that “there's a grandeur to America, but there's also a ridiculousness to America”; Shadi interrogates Polansky on hierarchy and greatness; and the three men ponder whether Eisenhower was a great president.Required Reading and Viewing* David Polansky, “Michael Jordan, Yes; Winston Churchill, No?” (WoC).* David Polansky, “Does Canada Exist?” (WoC).* David Polansky, “Pundit Don't Preach” (WoC).* David's Substack, Strange Frequencies.* Where the “Worthwhile Canadian Initiative” meme comes from (Paul Krugman's Newsletter). * “What to Know About Alberta's Potential Separation From Canada” (TIME).* Carl Schmitt (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).* Chantal Mouffe on “agonistic” democracy (Pavilion).* Stephen Kotkin talk about Stalin (YouTube).* Isaac Asimov, the Foundation trilogy (Amazon).* “Trump says Houthis showed ‘bravery,' believes they will honor truce deal” (Times of Israel).* Polansky's “Cabots and Lodges” reference (Berkshire Edge).* Analysis of Bill Clinton's 2012 DNC speech (CNN).Free preview video:Full video for paid subscribers below:
Spies In My Blood: A Polish Family's Secret Fight Against Nazis & Communists (Polestar-Media, 2025) is the true story of two brothers raised in New York by WWII exiles and their journey to Poland. Each takes a different path to infiltrate the Communist secret police on a mission to uncover the truth about their family of soldiers, spies, and assassins. Which brother would go into the family business?Alex Storozynski was the first in his family born in the United States, a new leaf on the family tree. When he set out to find his roots in Poland during the Cold War, his Mama stitched secret pockets into boxer shorts where he could hide his cash, passport, and important documents. Before he left to go behind the Iron Curtain, his mother warned him: “Be careful of your brother's friends.” His big brother George, a banker, told him, “Mama doesn't want you to go into the family business.”As an aspiring journalist, Storozynski interviewed Polish rock stars, filmmakers, and artists fighting censorship. He navigated the black market and learned to thrive in the surreal and repressive system. He persuaded the Communist government to give him a scholarship to write a doctoral dissertation about the most hated man in Poland, the military regime's press spokesman, Jerzy Urban. But he asked too many questions.Storozynski attended Urban's press conferences with American journalists and met underground Solidarity activists trying to overthrow the government. He translated interviews with opposition leaders like Lech Wałesa for The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Boston Globe.There's a Polish saying, “You can't fool your genes; it's in your blood.” The Communist secret police (SB) stole Storozynski's visa and interrogated him. When Senator Ted Kennedy arrived in Warsaw to give The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award to Adam Michnik and the parents of martyred opposition priest Father Jerzy Popiełuszko, Storozynski spent time with the Kennedy clan and taught them to sing Sto Lat (May He Live 100 Years) to the opposition.The SB had enough. After investigating Alex Storozynski, they wrote: “The findings in the case show that he is familiar with the working methods of special services.” Storozynski was declared an “enemy of the state” and banned from Communist Poland.This is the true story of Alex Storozynski's quest to uncover the nitty-gritty of three generations of spies in his blood.Winston Churchill's words serve as a stark warning: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” With the Russian Army again trying to move the border between East and Western Europe, the dormant Cold War has reignited a hot war. Russia's invasion of sovereign nations and killing of Ukrainians is a grim reminder of the need to avoid repeating history. Motorized terror squads are once again murdering Jews, and civilian bombing deaths are written off as collateral damage. The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. Alex Storozynski is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, award-winning author, filmmaker, songwriter, and President Emeritus & Chairman of the Board of The Kosciuszko Foundation.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar whose research areas are related to Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, military history, War studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, as well as Russian and East European history.

«Raggiunto un accordo di svolta con il Regno Unito, è fantastico per entrambe le nazioni». Lo ha detto il presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump. Con l'accordo, il Regno Unito darà maggior accesso alla carne e all'etanolo statunitensi e saranno ridotte le barriere non tariffarie. Inoltre, «Stati Uniti e Regno Unito lavoreranno insieme sull'acciaio». Trump ha detto di voler «ringraziare il primo ministro Keir Starmer», definendolo «eccezionale» e affermando che i due Paesi hanno un «ottimo rapporto». Trump ha dichiarato che «gli ultimi dettagli sono in fase di stesura», ma che «quasi tutto è stato approvato». Anche il primo ministro britannico Keir Starmer ha definito «un giorno storico» quello dell'annuncio da parte del suo omologo americano Donald Trump di un accordo commerciale tra Usa e Gran Bretagna. Un annuncio che il premier britannico ha paragonato a quello di Winston Churchill della «Vittoria in Europa esattamente 80 anni fa». Secondo il presidente americano, l'intesa porterà 5 miliardi di dollari in nuove opportunità di esportazione per allevatori, agricoltori e produttori statunitensi, in particolare nei settori di carne bovina ed etanolo. Trump ha anche previsto entrate pari a 6 miliardi di dollari derivanti dal dazio universale del 10% che resterà in vigore sul Regno Unito, nonostante l'accordo. Ne parliamo con Giorgia Scaturro, corrispondente radio 24 da Londra.Baroni: «Piccole imprese più forti e sicure per rispondere alle sfide globali» Domani si apre il Forum annuale Piccola Industria a Firenze che sarà concluso, sabato mattina, dal presidente nazionale di Confindustria Emanuele Orsini. Sarà l'occasione per discutere dell'urgenza di avere Pmi forti e sicure per affrontare alcune delle sfide cruciali per le piccole e medie imprese italiane. Ci sono rischi, alimentati dall incertezza attuale, ma anche occasioni di crescita e di innovazione.«Energia, cybersecurity, aerospazio-difesa e impatti del cambiamento climatico: sono i quattro grandi temi su cui vogliamo concentrare la nostra riflessione. Tenendo conto del contesto in cui siamo oggi, sia a livello globale che europeo, con una Ue che deve cambiare: ridurre la burocrazia come previsto dal Pacchetto Omnibus previsto dalla nuova commissione europea - e concentrarsi sulla politica industriale», dice Giovanni Baroni, presidente della Piccola industria di Confindustria, anticipando i contenuti del Forum annuale. «Siamo sempre stati come Piccola precursori sui grandi temi, emersi anche dalle Assise organizzate sotto la mia presidenza a giugno del 2022 a Bari. L energia, quando ancora non era esploso il problema dei costi, l Intelligenza artificiale, che abbiamo affrontato anche con il road show sul territorio partito due anni fa, per far solo alcuni esempi. Oggi in questo periodo di guerre e di grandi cambiamenti che stanno modificando gli equilibri mondiali la sicurezza è un fattore determinante, in tutti i suoi aspetti. Siamo minacciati, ma abbiamo anche opportunità e spazi per crescere», dice Baroni. Interviene proprio Giovanni Baroni, presidente della Piccola industria di Confindustria

Nazitysklands anfall på Norge och Danmark den 9 april 1940 var resultatet av en kedja av strategiska beslut av både de allierade och Nazityskland. Tyskarna behövde hamnar i Norge för kriget på Atlanten och för att säkra de svenska malmtransporterna via Narvik, samtidigt som de Allierade ville förhindra samma export.Där Danmark kapitulerade nästan utan strid skulle norrmännen kämpa i två månader. Men det svaga norska försvaret, flera misstag kring mobiliseringen i kombination med en förvirrad hjälp från britterna och fransmännen beseglade norrmännens öde. Den tyska ockupationen i Norge skulle bli hård, medan danskarna som behöll sin regering fick det lättare fram till 1943.Detta är tredje delen av sju om andra världskriget. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia vid Umeå universitet.Redan när kriget bröt ut den 1 september 1939 förklarade Norge och Danmark sig neutrala. Norges försvar var huvudsakligen inriktade på övervakningsuppgifter, eftersom landets geografiska läge ansågs vara en garanti mot storskaliga invasionsförsök. Och man förlitade sig på att brittiska Royal Navy skulle sätta stopp för en invasion.De allierade ville stoppa den svenska malmexporten till Tyskland via Narvik i Norge och de planerade att besätta de svenska malmfälten med ursäkten att kunna skicka hjälp till Finland. Tyskarna var snarare ute efter hamnar i Norge för kriget på Atlanten än att säkra malmimporten från Sverige.Den 9 april 1940 inledde Hitler Operation Weserübung, som innebar en fullskalig invasion av Danmark och Norge. Norska styrkor svarade med modigt motstånd, men trots deras ansträngningar lyckades de tyska styrkorna ta kontroll över huvudstäderna i både Danmark och Norge inom loppet av en dag. Den tyska kryssaren Blücher sänktes av den norska kustförsvar vid Oscarsborg i inloppet till Oslo, vilket fördröjde fångandet av huvudstaden och tillät kungafamiljen, regeringen och Stortinget att fly norrut med extratåg.I början av 1940 fick de norska myndigheterna flera varningar om att något var på gång. Mötet mellan Hitler och Vidkun Quisling, ledaren för det norska nazistpartiet Nasjonal Samling, i december 1939 stärkte Hitlers övertygelse om att Norge saknade viljan och förmågan att motsätta sig brittiska överträdelser av neutraliteten.Vid samma tidpunkt beslutade de allierade att genomföra en plan utarbetad av Winston Churchill för att minera norska vatten inom tre-milsgränsen. Den 8 april 1940 inleddes minläggningen (i Vestfjorden nära Narvik), och den 9 april kom det tyska angreppet.Ett nattligt ultimatum till den norska regeringen om att samarbeta med de tyska styrkorna avvisades. Under loppet av 9 april lyckades tyskarna erövra de viktigaste hamnstäderna, inklusive Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim och Narvik. Dock försenade sänkningen av den tyska kryssaren Blücher av den norska kustförsvar vid Oscarsborg i inloppet till Oslo erövringen av huvudstaden och tillät kungafamiljen, regeringen och Stortinget att avgå med extratåg till norr.Bild: Tyska Wehrmacht i Norge den 9 april 1940.

Hur hanterar man ett land i fullkomlig kollaps, ockuperat av tre militära stormakter och dessutom skyldigt till omänskliga brott mot mänskligheten?Perioden efter Hitlers död och den tyska kapitulationen var på intet sätt enkel. Redan i fredsförhandlingarna kan man ana de konfliktytor som, inom loppet av bara några år, skulle växa till en ny global stormaktskonflikt. Vad skulle det bli av Tyskland, och hur skulle Europas framtid se ut?I dagens avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden diskuterar idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och professorn i historia Martin Hårdstedt krigsslutet 1945 och perioden fram till kalla krigets utbrott.Det största problemet efter 1945 var det faktum att den allians som slutligen hade besegrat Nazityskland egentligen hade mycket lite gemensamt – förutom fiendskapen mot Hitler. När Hitler avslutade sitt liv i Berlin och Tyskland till sist hade kapitulerat, accentuerades omedelbart skillnaderna i stormakternas syn på framtiden. En kärnfråga var särskilt de ockuperade folkens suveränitet och deras rätt att bestämma sin egen framtid genom fria val.Medan USA och Storbritannien kunde enas om att denna princip skulle gälla, var Sovjetunionen inte särskilt intresserad av att låta de nyförvärvade landområdena i Östeuropa själva forma sin framtid. Det hjälpte förstås inte heller att de tre stormakterna representerade helt olika samhällsideologier, som i grunden var antagonistiska gentemot varandra.Trots försöken att etablera samsyn under Potsdamkonferensen 1945 och bildandet av Förenta Nationerna samma höst, fördjupades konflikten snabbt. Misstänksamhet präglade relationen mellan parterna, och snart föll järnridån. Sovjetunionen förhindrade att Marshallhjälpen nådde de ockuperade staterna i Östeuropa, blockerade Berlin och organiserade en kupp i Tjeckoslovakien för att säkra ett Sovjetvänligt styre. Samtidigt understödde Sovjetunionen revolutionära grupper i Grekland i syfte att även där vända utvecklingen till sin fördel.Bara fyra år efter krigets slut nådde konflikten sin logiska kulmen när de västliga demokratierna enades under Washingtonfördraget i april 1949. Nato bildades – och kalla kriget var ett faktum.Bild: Från vänster: Storbritanniens premiärminister Winston Churchill, USA:s president Harry S. Truman och Sovjetunionens ledare Josef Stalin under Potsdamkonferensen sommaren 1945. Här försökte de allierade enas om efterkrigstidens Europa – men redan då började sprickorna i samarbetet visa sig. Wikipedia. Public Domain.Klippare: Emanuel Lehtonen Hosted on Acast.

1946, in the wake of the Allies winning World War II, Sir Winston Churchill came to the US and gave his famous (and famously cautionary) "Iron Curtain" speech at a small college in Mid-Missouri. That school, Westminster College, is the home of America's National Churchill Museum, which celebrates the life, work, thought, and leadership of the "British Bulldog." How does a museum dedicated to the man who saved Western liberal democracy endeavor to stay relevant at a moment when, around the world, democracy itself seems endangered? Our guest is Timothy Riley, Director and Chief Curator of this museum.
What happens when two of the world's oldest and most influential religions—Judaism and Catholicism—stand side by side? Today, we explore the shared roots, divergent paths, painful history, and surprising points of connection between these two traditions. From ancient Israel to Vatican II, from the Hebrew Bible to the New Testament, and from centuries of tension to moments of true dialogue, we ask: What do Jews and Catholics really believe about one another? How have theology, politics, and history shaped that relationship—and where do we go from here?Join us as we unpack the theological crossroads, cultural intersections, and the evolving conversation between Catholicism and Judaism—past, present, and future.Want more history? Go back and listen to this series from the beginning, as Winston Churchill once said “The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” so we are going all the way back, so we can understand what is happening now and plan for the future.Check out more about Rabbi Ken Spiro and his work at www.KenSpiro.comLearn more about Ellie Bass and her work at www.elliebass.comLearn more about The Jewish Family Institute at www.MyJFI.comTo send us questions and ideas for topics email us at rememberwhatsnext@gmail.com Thank you for joining us on Remember What's Next with Rabbi Ken Spiro and Ellie Bass.

Aan de vooravond van Dodenherdenking en Bevrijdingsdag herdenken we niet alleen, maar herkennen ook. Dat is leerzaam, maar ook confronterend. Het boek De tien van Den Haag van Stephan Steinmetz is dat zeker in tijden dat ambtenaren worstelen met vragen van loyaliteit. In Amerika bij de omgang met de regering-Trump. En ook in eigen land met vragen over controversieel beleid.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met Stephan Steinmetz over de belevenissen van de tien hoogste ambtenaren op de Haagse ministeries toen in mei 1940 Nazi-Duitsland Nederland binnenviel en al na enkele dagen dwong tot capitulatie.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Ineens stonden de secretarissen-generaal moederziel alleen, zonder gezamenlijke beleidslijn. Met een naar Londen gevluchte regering die radeloos was en met een vijandige overwinnaar die scherp had afgewogen hoe de Nederlanders te paaien en te onderwerpen. "Maak er het beste van", zei minister Pieter Sjoerds Gerbrandy bij het afscheid tegen zijn SG.Steinmetz vertelt met rijke details hoe de ambtelijke top niet alleen een eigen werkwijze moest vinden - die was er voorheen nauwelijks - maar ook moest leren omgaan met een bezetter die geheel anders te werk ging dan waar men zozeer voor gevreesd werd. Een merkwaardige mengeling van opluchting, daadkracht, argwaan en onbestemde vrees nam de overhand. En stiekem waren 'de tien' zelfs blij dat ze zonder ministers, parlement, verdeelde partijen en verzuilde polder nu eens flink en 'modern' aan de slag konden.Adolf Hitler wilde ‘het Germaanse broedervolk' paaien en de Nederlandse economie inzetten voor zijn oorlogsmachine. Steinmetz laat zien hoe bij alle geruststellend klinkende boodschappen - ook over 'het Jodenvraagstuk'- al in de zomer van 1940 doelgericht werd gewerkt aan de voorbereiding van het maatschappelijk isolement en de ondergang van Joden - ook in Nederland.De tien SG's kozen daarbij voor een lijn van formele samenwerking met de bezetter, om bestuur, economie en grondwettelijke rechten zoveel mogelijk overeind te houden. En ze ontdekten dat ze met de bezetter - onder leiding van Hitlers 'stadhouder' Arthur Seyss-Inquart - één doel deelden: NSB'ers zoveel mogelijk buiten de deur houden.Zo probeerden ze vanuit een defensieve houding te doen wat de vader van Jan de Koning zijn tienerzoon destijds voorhield: 'het onderscheid tussen een greppel en de laatste gracht' in de gaten houden. Dat ze zich met hun houding op ‘een hellend vlak' begaven, beseften sommigen al aan het begin van de bezetting. Anderen hielden zich vast aan hun drijfveer ‘erger te voorkomen'. De sterke man onder de SG's, Hans Hirschfeld, noemde het de principiële keuze tussen 'Gesinnungsethik' en 'Verantwortungsethik', naar de terminologie van Max Weber.Een manier om de dialoog met Seyss-Inquart en zijn staf gaande te houden was het niet agenderen van mogelijke conflictstof, maar wel formele protesten uiten als het niet anders kon. Daarna poogden ze de scherpe kantjes eraf te halen, vaak met procedurele trucjes. Toen Joodse Nederlanders geen parken meer mochten bezoeken, ontstond een hele discussie over de definitie van 'een park'.Intussen kaapte de bezetter een perfectionistisch ambtelijk project dat het mogelijk maakte iedere inwoner nauwkeurig te identificeren en registreren. Stephan Steinmetz laat zien hoe naïef professionalisme, cowboygedrag en gebrek aan toezicht vanuit de top rampzalige gevolgen kreeg.Ondertussen droegen veel Nederlanders op de verjaardag van prins Bernhard een anjer – als stil protest. De aanhankelijkheid aan het Oranjehuis deed Nazi-propagandachef Joseph Goebbels tijdens een bezoek aan Den Haag in woede ontsteken. Steinmetz vertelt buitengewoon beeldend van een confrontatie tussen Hermann Göring en opperbevelhebber Winkelman.De NSB buiten de deur houden lukte uiteindelijk niet. Allengs werden Duitsgezinde SG's in vacatures benoemd. Toch probeerden de resterenden van de oorspronkelijke tien ook met hen erbij het land draaiende te houden. De bezetter besefte dat met name Hirschfeld onmisbaar was voor de economische situatie en de loyaliteit van het bedrijfsleven.Hoogst opmerkelijk - en verrassend actueel - is hoe hij de land- en tuinbouw drastisch aanpakte om mogelijke hongersnood te voorkomen. Niet minder hoe hij zo nodig bruut de confrontatie zocht als geweld dreigde, bijvoorbeeld bij een mijnstaking. "Wilt u kolen of lijken?" zei hij ijskoud tegen de generaals.Na de bevrijding werden de SG's vooral beoordeeld op wat zij hadden gedaan om 'het verzet' te helpen. Dat zij hun taak zagen als 'erger voorkomen', de NSB tegenhouden en 'het land draaiende houden' werd minder zwaar gewogen.Des te opvallender is dat de regering na 1945 Hirschfeld toch hoge posten bleef gunnen. Impliciet besefte men blijkbaar dat "Maak er het beste van" het enige was, dat hem en zijn collega's was meegegeven in onmogelijke omstandigheden.***Verder luisteren322 - 30 januari 1933, een fatale dag voor Duitsland en de wereld105 - Dagelijks leven in Nazi-Duitsland478 - Was Hitler een socialist?314 - Prins Heinrich XIII en het verlangen naar een autoritair Duisland385 - Jan de Koning en het verschil tussen een greppel en de laatste gracht479 - Winston Churchill.

The chief foreign correspondent of The Sunday Times and bestselling author of ‘I am Malala' and ‘The Girl From Aleppo' visits the South West. Christina Lamb's work is defined by determination and curiosity to vividly convey life in areas of danger and conflict. How else would the rest of us know about the injustice, the violence, but also the hope that can be found in those dark places? What is the point of bearing witness to the atrocities of war? What difference can journalism make? As one of Britain's leading foreign correspondents, Christina Lamb has never wavered from giving a voice to the unsung heroes of war, often women like the cyclists in Kabul, the Zimbabwean lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa, and the famous Malala. In this talk, Christina Lamb speaks about the defining moments of her career as an author and journalist: travelling with the Mujahidin, the resistance fighting Soviet occupation in Afghanistan during the Cold War, being in a 360 Taliban ambush, and surviving a bus bombing at an assassination attempt on Pakistan's Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. After 38 years of reporting from the most dangerous places on earth, Christina shares why she still goes to war, asking what we can learn about humans, conflict, and resilience. CHRISTINA LAMB Author and Foreign Correspondent Christina Lamb is one of Britain's leading foreign journalists as well as a bestselling author. Her despatches with the Afghan mujaheddin fighting the Soviet Union saw her named Young Journalist of the Year at the age of 22. She has since reported everywhere from Iraq to Ukraine, Israel to Zimbabwe and been awarded Foreign Correspondent of the Year seven times as well as Europe's top war reporting prize, the Prix Bayeux, the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from both the Society of Editors and Women in Journalism as well as the Chesney Gold Medal for promoting the understanding of war, previously awarded to Henry Kissinger and Winston Churchill. She has always particularly focused on what war does to women, and her book Our Bodies, Their Battlefields about sexual violence in conflict was described by leading historian Antony Beevor as ‘the most powerful book' he had ever read and recently recommended by Queen Camilla in a speech. She has written ten books including co-authoring the international bestseller I Am Malala. She is a Global envoy for UN Education Cannot Wait, Honorary Fellow of University College Oxford, on the board of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, and an Associate of the Imperial War Museum and was awarded an OBE in 2013.

A British motoring icon made its debut at the Amsterdam Motor Show on 30th April, 1948: the Land Rover. The UK's first off-road vehicle (that wasn't a tractor!) had been sketched in sand by its creator, Maurice Wilks. Heavily inspired by the American Willys Jeep, the first Land Rovers were simple, no-frills workhorses with no roof, no heater, and barely any doors — just half-height flaps to keep you from falling out. And at £450, they were priced for farmers, not aristocrats. But the car soon caught on, with everyone from Winston Churchill to Bob Marley. Despite being noisy, leaky and slow, the Land Rover's charm wasn't about comfort — it was about practicality, reliability, and an unmistakably rugged, "real" vibe that everyone could get behind. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly unpick how the marque inspired explorers, aid workers, and adventurers; consider why the British Army abandoned the vehicle in the 21st century; and discover why the steering wheel on the first models was placed in the middle… Further Reading: • ‘Why everyone wants a classic Land Rover' (The Times, 2022): https://www.thetimes.com/article/7e9e5d1e-7dec-11ec-b216-7a521e8f125c • ‘Land Rover Design - 70 Years of Success by Nick Hull' (David & Charles, 2018): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Land_Rover_Design_70_Years_of_Success/w9IjEQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=maurice+wilks&pg=PT19&printsec=frontcover • ‘History Of Land Rover: Discover the Amazing Story Behind the Land Rover!'

The Problem of Sexual Extortion Sexual extortion, or “Sextortion” as it is sometimes called, is a new and growing problem. In the 21st century, there have been various problems related to the “connectedness” that being online offers, and sometimes these problems are not evenly divided among the sexes. Sexual extortion is one of the newer ones. Young men seem to be particularly susceptible not just to being fooled into seeking and sharing nude pictures but also into an even darker situation when those pictures are used against them. Because of this, we wanted to release a short episode encouraging christian parents and ministers to do two things: Parents - Talk with your children about why God invented sex but also the dangers associated with it. All christians - Be clear that Christ died for all sins, and paid for all guilt and shame in the believer's life so that we don't have to fear consequences related to sin, even in our very online age. This too shall pass. "The Empires of the future will be Empires of the Mind." - Winston Churchill
The spiritual foundations of America stand at a crossroads. In this deeply reflective episode, Jesse Cope tackles the challenging question of what truly lies at the heart of American liberty—and whether we can preserve it without returning to our Christian roots.Jesse begins with a soul-searching examination of personal priorities. "Have you made time for God today?" he asks, before extending this question to our relationships: "If you're married, do you act like it? Does your spouse know it?" These probing questions set the tone for an episode that consistently challenges listeners to align their professed beliefs with their daily actions.Drawing from William Manchester's biography of Winston Churchill, Jesse explores how propaganda tactics have been employed throughout history to manipulate public perception. He draws unsettling parallels between Nazi Germany's misinformation campaigns and modern cultural battles over education, gender ideology, and parental rights. These historical lessons serve as a warning about what happens when societies drift from their moral anchors.The heart of the episode centers on George Washington's prayer journal—a powerful historical document that reveals America's first president as a man deeply committed to Christian faith and principles. Washington's humble prayers, seeking divine guidance in both personal conduct and national leadership, directly challenge contemporary narratives that suggest America's founders intended to create a secular nation. "There's no way they looked for this kind of guidance from God and Jesus Christ and then wanted to create a country where God had no role," Jesse observes.Through an examination of Matthew 4, Jesse confronts the many forms of modern idolatry that compete for our allegiance—from careers and entertainment to social media and materialism. His candid self-reflection creates space for listeners to honestly assess their own spiritual priorities.Ready to reconnect with America's spiritual heritage? Listen now and discover how the prayers of Washington might still guide our nation through today's challenges. Then share this episode with someone struggling to see the connection between faith and liberty in our increasingly divided culture.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
rWotD Episode 2918: Austen Chamberlain Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Wednesday, 30 April 2025, is Austen Chamberlain.Sir Joseph Austen Chamberlain (16 October 1863 – 16 March 1937) was a British statesman, son of Joseph Chamberlain and older half-brother of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. He served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for 45 years, as Chancellor of the Exchequer (twice) and was briefly Conservative Party leader before serving as Foreign Secretary.Brought up to be the political heir of his father, whom he physically resembled, he was elected to Parliament as a Liberal Unionist at a by-election in 1892. He held office in the Unionist coalition governments of 1895–1905, remaining in the Cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer (1903–05) after his father resigned in 1903 to campaign for Tariff Reform. After his father's disabling stroke in 1906, Austen became the leading tariff reformer in the House of Commons. Late in 1911 he and Walter Long were due to compete for the leadership of the Conservative Party (in succession to Arthur Balfour), but both withdrew in favour of Bonar Law rather than risk a party split on a close result.Chamberlain returned to office in H. H. Asquith's wartime coalition government in May 1915, as Secretary of State for India, but resigned to take responsibility for the disastrous Kut Campaign. He again returned to office in David Lloyd George's coalition government, once again serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer. He then served as Conservative Party leader in the Commons (1921–1922), before resigning after the Carlton Club meeting voted to end the Lloyd George Coalition.Like many leading coalitionists, he did not hold office in the Conservative governments of 1922–1924. By now regarded as an elder statesman, he served an important term as Foreign Secretary in Stanley Baldwin's second government (1924–1929). He negotiated the Locarno Treaties (1925), aimed at preventing war between France and Germany, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Chamberlain last held office as First Lord of the Admiralty in 1931. He was one of the few MPs supporting Winston Churchill's appeals for rearmament against the German threat in the 1930s and remained an active backbench MP until his death in 1937.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:18 UTC on Wednesday, 30 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Austen Chamberlain on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Amy.

I'm going to make a quick confession to you here: The Battle of Britain is one of my three favorite parts of all of human history. The other two would be the Roman Empire at the time of Jesus, and then the American Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and the Constitution, all of that right as the US was being founded. And then this, the Battle of Britain. Why is this one one of my favorites periods? Well, it's got it all: a clear villain, a heroic underdog who fights valiantly, a moment when all seems lost, and then a sudden change of fortunes as the tide begins to turn. The battle of Helm's Deep, or the Battle of Minas Tirith - this has the same narrative arc. Plus, it has some of the most amazing airplanes that ever flew, which I will get to in a bit. The American war for Independence was cool, but they didn't have Spitfires or Messerschmitts. Neither did Minas Tirith. I guess Mordor did have the Nazgul on their flying lizards, but that's not quite the same. Anyway, this was one of those crucial turning points in history, where if it had gone differently, even by a small bit, our modern world would not be the same. It really was a pretty close shave. email: shortwalkthroughhistory@gmail.com

Today's episode is the second of our two recent live recordings of PPF, this one in front of an audience at the Bath Curious Minds Festival. David talks to historian Robert Saunders about the life of Winston Churchill and all its twists and turns of fortune: from disgrace in WWI, economic disaster in the 1920s, wilderness in the 1930s, through to redemption in 1945 and rejection by the voters in the same year. How to make sense of it all? Is there a thread that connects the ups and downs? Has there ever – anywhere – been another political life like it? Out now on PPF+: David discusses the influence of Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto (1909) – from cars to cod liver oil, from fascism to techno-optimism, from the madness of pre-WWI Europe to the craziness of Silicon Valley today.

This week we continue exploring the Second World War by revealing one of its most surprising, colourful and sometimes farcical stories - the two year undeclared war between Britain and Vichy France. Tim Bouverie is Phil's guest and he tales us through some of the terrific - and little known - stories in his new book Allies At War. Although London and Paris are firm allies when Nazi Germany invades France in May 1940, relationships soon fall apart and true disappears. Then, in July 1940, Winston Churchill - a lifelong francophile - takes the fateful decision to send the Royal Navy to attack the French fleet (to ensure it does not fall into Hitler's hands). 1,300 French sailors, who had been allies of the British just weeks before, die in this attack.There follows a series of military campaigns and diplomatic intrigues with the (often clashing) personalities of Charles de Gaulle and Winston Churchill at the heart of them all.

[00:30] The Radical Left Loves Criminals (32 minutes) MS-13 illegal immigrant criminal Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the Democrats' anti-deportation poster child, but his nefarious criminal past raises serious questions about why the Democrats are so focused on protecting due process for this man who isn't even a U.S. citizen. The radical left's heart is with criminal illegals, but even CNN admits that most of America thinks President Donald Trump's immigration policy restrictions are on the right track. [32:00] Rewriting World War II History (23 minutes) Some American conservatives are painting Winston Churchill as the villain of World War II while defending Adolf Hitler. Rewriting World War II history is dangerous because that history is now repeating itself.
Comparisons are often made on the careers of Napoleon and Hitler, but Napoleon also had a strong influence on Winston Churchill. Special guest & author Warren Dockter joins the show to discuss the similarities and contrasts between these 3 historical figures. X/Twitter: @WarrenDockter, @andnapoleon

Le plan Morgenthau est une proposition élaborée en 1944, à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui visait à affaiblir durablement l'Allemagne pour l'empêcher de redevenir une menace militaire. Son nom vient de Henry Morgenthau Jr., secrétaire au Trésor des États-Unis sous le président Franklin D. Roosevelt.Un projet radical de désindustrialisationCe plan avait un objectif clair : transformer l'Allemagne en un pays essentiellement agricole, en détruisant son potentiel industriel. L'idée était de neutraliser à jamais sa capacité à faire la guerre, en supprimant ses usines, en fermant ses mines, et en démantelant son armement. Morgenthau, profondément marqué par les ravages de deux guerres mondiales, pensait qu'il fallait frapper fort pour éviter une troisième.Le plan prévoyait notamment :La démilitarisation complète de l'Allemagne.La désindustrialisation de la Ruhr, cœur industriel du pays.La division du territoire allemand en zones d'occupation durables.Une réduction volontaire du niveau de vie des Allemands pour décourager toute velléité de revanche.Une proposition controverséeSi Roosevelt approuve d'abord le plan, notamment lors de la conférence de Québec en septembre 1944, il est rapidement confronté à des critiques virulentes. Les opposants — parmi lesquels Winston Churchill — redoutent que cette politique punitive ne radicalise davantage la population allemande et n'alimente le communisme, à un moment où l'Union soviétique gagne de l'influence en Europe.De plus, l'opinion publique américaine, bien que hostile à l'Allemagne nazie, commence à s'inquiéter des conséquences humanitaires d'une telle politique. On craint la famine, la misère, et l'effondrement de la société allemande.Abandonné, mais pas sans influenceFace aux critiques, le plan Morgenthau est finalement abandonné officiellement fin 1944. Toutefois, certaines de ses idées ont brièvement influencé les politiques alliées dans l'immédiat après-guerre.Mais rapidement, dans le contexte naissant de la Guerre froide, les États-Unis changent de stratégie : l'Allemagne de l'Ouest devient un allié économique et stratégique, et au lieu de l'affaiblir, on cherche à la reconstruire, notamment grâce au plan Marshall à partir de 1947.ConclusionLe plan Morgenthau incarne une vision punitive de l'après-guerre, marquée par la volonté d'éliminer toute menace allemande. Bien qu'il n'ait jamais été pleinement appliqué, il reflète les débats intenses sur la manière de garantir une paix durable après les horreurs du nazisme. Hébergé par Acast.

The old man was back. The Conservatives won the 1951 election and Winston Churchill returned to Downing Street. And he really was an old man – nearly 77 when he took office. To many, he it seemed increasingly clear that he was unfit for office, but he wouldn't leave, clinging on, in the end, for three and a half years. He did get various things done. He presided over the ending of rationing. He allowed the British secret service to work with the Americans to bring down the democratically elected government in Iran, to protect British oil interests, a move whose consequences we're still suffering from today. And he also did all he could to lessen the risk of the world wiping itself out in a war using Hydrogen bombs, far more destructive still than the bombs that had actually been used against Japan. He appointed a Home Secretary, David Maxwell Fyfe, who would use the full power of the law against gay sex to make life miserable for a lot of gay men. His most notable victim was Alan Turing, an outstanding scientist of his generation, persecuted, subjected to chemical castration, and driven to an early death, it seems pretty clear, by suicide.Fyfe also believed strongly in the death penalty, even though this was a time when a couple of particularly striking miscarriages of justice came to light, miscarriages that led to the execution of innocent men. It would take decades to clear their names. But the death penalty would not be abolished at that time.Churchill's attempt to do something about the Hydrogen bomb was his last great initiative in office, his last international action, his last pretext for putting off resignation. It, however, failed. Even so, he hung on another eight months, with no obvious excuse for not going. Still, if he had no excuse, it's clear today that he may well have had an understandable reason, other than the natural instinct of men in power to cling on to it as long as possible.He may simply have had no confidence that his designated successor, Anthony Eden, was up to the job. Something we'll be checking up on next week.Illustration: Winston Churchill seeing Queen Elizabeth II to her car after dinner at Downing Street the day before he left office.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. When I was little, a police officer lived in our village. The police service provided his home, and his job was to look after the local community. Sargeant Morris was my first introduction to the police, and he taught me some valuable lessons—not least about the importance of being a law-abiding citizen. Yet, a lesson he taught me that I never realised how important it was until later was the power of daily routines. Each morning at 8:00 am, Sergeant Morris would walk up and down the main street in our village, ensuring that the schoolchildren got to school safely. He was also there when we returned from school at the end of the day. I'm sure there were days he was unable to be there, but all I remember is his presence on the street when I went and came back from school. He would wear his hi-viz jacket, chat with the parents and children, and make sure we crossed the road at the pedestrian crossing and that the traffic didn't drive too fast down the street. I also remember because of his presence, seemingly day and night, crime was almost non-existent in our village. It was the simple things—things that did not require a lot of effort or knowledge—that made Sergeant Morris a part of my childhood I will never forget. And that is the same for you and me today. It's the little things repeated that make the biggest difference to our productivity. And so, with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Mike. Mike asks, hi Carl. What would you say are the basics of becoming more productive? Hi Mike, thank you for your question. It's funny you've asked this question as it's something I have been thinking a lot about recently. What are the absolute basics of being productive? I would first start with something I wrote extensively about in Your Time, Your Way, and those are the three foundations: Sleep, exercise, and diet. How do you feel when you've had a bad night's sleep? Perhaps you only get two or three hours of sleep. How does your day go? Probably not very well at all. You may be able to get through the morning, but when the afternoon comes around, you're going to slump. If that poor sleep continues for a few days, and you're going to get sick. Now let's flip that. How do you feel when you get a solid night's sleep? What does that do to your productivity? The difference between the two is huge. On the days you get enough sleep, you'll focus better and for longer. You'll make less mistakes and, something rarely talked about, you'll make better decisions. That helps you as it ensures that when you decide what to work on next it will more likely be the right thing. When you're sleep deprived, your decision making abilities sink. You'll pick up the easy, low-value tasks—because you feel you're doing something—but it will have little value and the important work will be left until another day. And then you have a backlog of important stuff to do, stuff that's probably going To have deadlines which means you put yourself under pressure and a low level of anxiety sets in, distracting you and leaving you feeling exhausted at the end of the day. Exercise, or as I prefer to call it “movement” is another of those simple productivity enhancers often overlooked. Sitting at a table staring at a screen all day is not good for you. You know that don't you? You're a living, breathing organism that was designed to move. We know that exercise, and when I say exercise I don't mean going to a gym or out for a run, I mean some walking, chores around the house or some light stretching in your home or office, helps your thinking and creativity. It also helps to reduce stress and resets your brain after a hard session of focused work. One of the best things you can do if you're working from home is to do some of your chores in-between sessions of sit-down work. For example, do two hours of project work, then stop, and take your laundry to the washing machine or vacuum your living room. Then sit down and do another session of deep work. You'll be amazed at how much work you get done with that little tip. You don't need to buy expensive standing desks. Just make sure you get up every ninety-minutes to two hours and walk around. Make the bed, tidy up the kids' toys, wash the dishes, or water your plants. Firstly you're getting away from the screen and secondly you're stirring your energy tanks, elevating your blood flow and engaging your lymph glands, which work to clear your body of harmful bacteria and toxins—which build up alarmingly if you're not moving. But the most important part of that movement is it resets your brain so you come back to your work refreshed and focused. And then there is diet. I'm sure I don't have to remind you how you feel after your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. You eat all that food, then sit down on the sofa and within a few minutes you're falling asleep. All those carbohydrates causes your pancreas to go into overdrive producing vast amounts of insulin which in the short term (say twenty-minutes) is a good thing. It's what comes next that depresses your energy levels—what we call the afternoon slump. Yet it can be avoided if you keep the carbs to a minimum and choose a healthier option. The Japanese have a wonderful eating culture called “Hara hachi bu” which translates to “eat until 80% full”. By not over-eating, the Japanese have learned that their energy levels remain reasonably consistent throughout the day, and of course another benefit is you are less likely to gain weight. And while we're on the topic of food, I'm not a fan of pre-preparing your meals for the week. You may think this saves you time, but the act of cooking each evening is a great way to give you some movement, and take your mind away from the work you left behind. That meal break is a great way to reset your brain and if you're doing it in the evening, you can use it to draw a line under your work for the day and prepare you for family or friends time. So, Mike, if I was asked to give advice on how to improve productivity, those three things would be first piece of advice. Get these three things right, and your productivity will improve massively. Yet, there are a few other little things you could do, all of which are simple and anyone can do. The first would be to plan the day the day before. In other words before you finish your work day, you stop for five to ten minutes and decide what the most important things you need to do tomorrow are. We're not talking about reviewing all your projects and going through all your tasks on your to-do list. If you're reasonably engaged with your work, you will know what's important. Write these down somewhere where you will see them when you start the next day and start with the item at the top of your list. You can do this digitally or use a pen and piece of paper. It doesn't really matter. What matters is the list is short—no more than five or six things and that it's the first thing you see when you start your day. This does three things for you. The first is it prevents you from procrastinating by giving you a list of tasks to get on with that need to be done. It also avoids you wasting your most focused time trying to decide what to work on and then getting pulled into other people's urgencies and emergencies. Thirdly, it allows your subconscious brain to do what it's good at—mixing your education and experience together to come up with the most effective way to do something. There is also the fourth benefit, which is you will find you relax more in the evening knowing there's not likely to be any unwelcome emergencies when you begin the day. Another one I've found helpful is to protect time each day for your communications. Now, this one comes from my life-long love of history—particularly 20th century history. When I read about some the 20th century's most iconic people, whether that be Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Agatha Christie, General Eisenhower or Charles De Gaulle, you'' find that we know so much about what they thought and felt about things because they wrote letters. It was a habit in the early to mid 20th century for people to spend some time each day writing letters. It's true they didn't have the distractions we have today—no TV (or very limited channels), internet or social media so there was time to write. Today, we don't protect time for communications, and that's lead to overwhelming backlogs of emails and messages to respond to. If you were to protect some time each day for your communications, while you may not be able to eliminate your message backlog entirely, you will prevent it from growing out of control. And we don't want to be fooling ourselves in to believing people received less communications in those days. That's not true. They received more. There were telegrams arriving where a telegram boy would wait for you to read the message and then take your reply back to the telegram office. And on top of that, we had to handwrite our responses, put the letter in an envelope, stick a stamp on it and take it to the post box. It was far more time consuming, yet people did it without complaint. Sp there you go, Mike. I hope that has given you some ideas. I would strongly recommend focusing on your sleep, movement and diet—it's there where you'll find some quick results. The daily planning, and protecting time for communications and admin, will give you results, but will take a little longer to feel the benefits. Thank you for your question and thank you to your too for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.
Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Six Stages of Big-Ass Goals April 3, 2025 | Episode 5064 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description What happens after you set that ambitious goal you can barely believe you'll achieve? In this no-nonsense episode, Scott breaks down the six-stage process that follows every big goal-setting moment. Sparked by his grandson's innocent question about "big-ass goals," Scott delivers a practical roadmap for navigating the psychological journey from contemplation to habit formation. If you've ever set a significant goal but struggled to follow through, this episode reveals precisely why—and what to do about it. Featured Story Scott kicks off with a humorous story about his 12-year-old grandson overhearing him record a podcast and asking, "G-Pa, what's a big-ass goal?" This candid moment leads Scott to reflect on how we approach ambitious goals and why most people get stuck at certain predictable stages. Drawing on Winston Churchill's wisdom that "to improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often," Scott reveals how change is not something to fear but to embrace as the essence of growth. Key Takeaways The most effective goals are so ambitious they seem almost unattainable, yet still possible with dedicated effort—that's what makes them "big-ass goals." When setting ambitious goals, you'll naturally progress through six stages: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. Optimism isn't just a pleasant attitude—it's a practical approach to life because, as Churchill noted, "it does not seem to be much use being anything else." Memorable Quotes "New level, new devil—if you think you're going to get away from every problem you have today by making a change, it's not true. You'll escape today's problems, but life will give you new ones." "For myself, I am an optimist. It does not seem to be much use being anything else." "If you can stand up, take a step, repeat, and keep doing that until you get what you want, that is the world's simplest success recipe." Scott's Three-Step Approach Set goals so ambitious that others might doubt you can achieve them—this creates the focus and motivation needed for fundamental transformation. Please be sure to know which of the six stages of change you're in (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, or termination) and take the appropriate steps for that stage. Approach life's inevitable challenges with optimism, seeing obstacles not as roadblocks but as opportunities to grow stronger and more capable.
