//The Wire//2300Z June 27, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SCOTUS SIDES WITH TRUMP ON LOWER COURTS ISSUING BLANKET RULINGS. PROTESTS IN EUROPE CONTINUE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Various demonstrations and protests continue as usual. In Poland, demonstrations were conducted today regarding the migrant crisis, with Poles expressing dissatisfaction with the deportation of migrants to their country.Yesterday a small protest was reported in Ljubljana, Slovenia, following the NATO summit this week. This summit largely did not discuss much of any importance, with the exception of again urging member states to pledge 5% of their defense budget to NATO's collective defense. AC: Demonstrations in eastern European nations often end up being a good barometer for gauging how the east/west dynamic is developing. This time, Slovenians protested against NATO and the United States for a variety of reasons, but mostly due to the recent activities in the Middle East.Middle East: Tensions in Gaza have increased following a report from Israeli media claiming that IDF soldiers were ordered to target civilians seeking food aid. In the report, interviewed IDF soldiers explained the long-standing practices regarding the targeting of civilians, such as the practice of shooting civilians "who appeared to pose no threat".AC: The Israeli Military Advocate General has also ordered an internal investigation into these targeting efforts, and several nations have issued statements of condemnation regarding this practice. These reports come after months of complaints from international aid groups being kinetically targeted throughout the region.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning the US Supreme Court issued a few rulings of note. SCOTUS ruled in favor of President Trump concerning his lawsuit to prevent activist judges from exceeding their jurisdictions to issue rulings more broad than the initial scope of the initial lawsuit. In effect, this means that President Trump's executive order to ban birthright citizenship for illegals and for those on temporary visas is in effect.Similarly, this morning the White House announced that they will be terminating the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of roughly 500,000 Haitian nationals, continuing the efforts from a few months ago to halt/slow immigration from Haiti under humanitarian programs.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The SCOTUS did not address the merits of Trump's birthright citizenship Executive Order itself; this judgement only re-affirmed the long-standing policy of preventing judges from issuing judgements outside their jurisdiction. However, the follow-on effects of this judgement will be interesting to follow as this affects a few hot-button issues that is currently at the heart of American discourse (most notably immigration-related issues).Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Send us a text◆ SSA market faces up to escalating defence funding ◆ Arms company bonds in focus ◆ Slovenia's landmark SLBAs Nato members agreed — mostly — to ramp up their defence funding to 5% of GDP over the next decade, we asked the SSA bond market how it would handle the extra funding that it will need to provide for that end. Some Nato members don't even meet the old target of 2% of GDP, so this week's declaration made at the alliance's summit in the Hague was quite the escalation. It came in the same week that some of the SSA market's biggest borrowers released their latest funding targets too.Meanwhile, extra defence spending is a boon to arms companies. They have been spectacular performers in equity markets but we took a look at what all that extra business and revenue will mean for their bond issuance.Finally, Slovenia this week became the first European sovereign to price a sustainability-linked bond. We examined the deal, how it was priced and marketed, and ask whether this is a credible avenue of funding for other governments.
I sat down with Luka Hocevar, a former pro basketball player turned master fitness coach, to dig into why knowledge isn't enough when it comes to real change.

We also explore how trauma, belief systems, and even your environment play a massive role in whether your clients follow through… or fall off. This one's not just for fitness fans - it's for any coach or curious human trying to understand what actually moves people forward.

Aurelio Pantanali"il cammino celeste"A piedi da Aquileia al Monte Lussariediciclo editorewww.ediciclo.itCircolo Culturale NavarcaAssociazione Iter AquileienseAndrea BellaviteMarco BregantTiziana PeriniIl "Cammino celeste" o "Iter aquileiense", è un itinerario ideato grazie all'iniziativa di un gruppo di persone appartenenti a diverse associazioni, accomunate dal desiderio di essere dei pellegrini, donne e uomini che per qualche giorno lasciano la loro vita ordinaria per trasformarsi in viandanti, tra loro molti hanno vissuto l'esperienza del Cammino di Santiago de Compostela. È un percorso internazionale che si propone di favorire l'incontro fra pellegrini di diversi stati in un luogo molto particolare, il santuario del Monte Lussari dove è custodita un'antica statua della Madonna venerata dalle genti del Friuli Venezia Giulia e del resto d'Italia, della Carinzia e dell'Austria, della Slovenia: esse lo raggiungevano percorrendo sentieri che gli autori sono riusciti in parte a riscoprire grazie ai segni ancora visibili della loro fede e della loro creatività. Il Cammino celeste, percorso per la prima volta nell'estate 2006, è composto da tre itinerari aventi origine in tre località particolarmente significative per la storia e la tradizione di fede di queste terre di confine: Aquileia in Italia, Brezje (santuario mariano presso Kranj) in Slovenia e Maria Saal a nord di Klagenfurt, località importante per la storia della Carinzia e per l'identità culturale e religiosa della cosiddetta Mitteleuropa.Aurelio Pantanali, gnomonista (che studia la gnomonica, ovvero la capacità di dedurre le leggi del moto apparente del Sole), è autore dei libri: Le meridiane del Friuli Venezia Giulia (1998), Le ore del Sole (2006). Ha fatto diventare Aiello il Paese delle Meridiane e ideato nella cittadina friulana la Festa delle Meridiane, che nel 2017 celebra a maggio la sua diciassettesima edizione. L'autore è presidente del circolo culturale Navarca, che ha profuso in Friuli Venezia Giulia e non solo il Progetto Meridiane, finalizzato alla conoscenza dell'arte gnomonica e al restauro e alla costruzione degli orologi solari.https://www.alcastellodiaiello.com/IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Two women in Iceland and Bolivia talk to Ella Al-Shamahi about creating female-centred walking tours that help people get to know the cities of Reykjavík and La Paz. Tinna Eik Rakelardóttir from Iceland says that the urban planning of her country's capital doesn't necessarily reflect its progressive values. Inspired by a tour she took in Ljubljana in Slovenia, Tinna combined her expertise in anthropology and business development to launch the Reykjavík Feminist Walking Tour. The walk highlights 200 years of the nation's drive for gender equality as well as the experience of being a woman in contemporary Icelandic society. Emma Rada Villarroel is a Bolivian feminist communicator of indigenous heritage and one of the co-founders of La Paz: The Feminist Tour. The tour explores the historic and ongoing struggles of the women of the city. Weaving her way through the streets of the highest city in the world, Emma shares stories about what's it's like to live in La Paz today as a student, an immigrant, a mother or merchant whilst also spotlighting the powerful women who have contributed to the city's history.Produced by Hannah Dean(Image: (L) Emma Rada Villarroel courtesy Emma Rada Villarroel.

La transumanza, è una pratica antica le cui origini si perdono nel tempo. I pastori hanno sempre spostato in estate le loro greggi (o mandrie) verso i prati i quota. Oggi si parla però di “transumanza culturale”, ovvero l'insieme di valori antropologici, sociali e identitari che questa pratica rappresenta per le comunità e i territori coinvolti. Non a caso la transumanza è stata riconosciuta dall'Unesco come Patrimonio Culturale Immateriale dell'Umanità nel 2019. In Lombardia, per la precisione in Valcamonica, da due anni a questa parte si celebra la “transumanza culturale”, un evento generato dal progetto interreg AlpTexstyle (capofila il Polo Poschiavo) che mira a creare un'industria tessile più sostenibile nelle Alpi. Nella regione alpina, l'ecosistema tessile non è sempre stato così inquinante come oggi. Dodici organizzazioni partner provenienti da Austria, Francia, Germania, Italia, Slovenia e Svizzera hanno unito le loro forze per creare una base comune di conoscenze e competenze e per riterritorializzare le catene del valore tessile locali compromesse da una produzione offshore e da un approvvigionamento globale. Il progetto è ormai giunto a conclusione ma lascia sulle Alpi diverse azioni concrete e un terreno fertile per nuove sfide.

Many North Americans would love to catch brown trout in their native environment, and most of us think of the UK or France or Slovenia for wild, native brown trout. But, Spain has a long history of fly fishing in the Pyrenees (Hemingway loved fly fishing in the Pyrenees and called this region "the closest thing to heaven") and for the traveler, there are many rivers with public access. Spain has small freestone mountain streams, lakes, and tailwaters that offer excellent trout fishing and my guest this week, Ivan Tarin [35:59], of Salvelinus Adventures, has spent thirty years exploring these rivers and has many tips to offer. In the Fly Box this week, we have some interesting questions and also a listener who was upset by my attitude in a recent podcast: Do you have any advice to help me catch more trout on dry flies? Does it matter that jig flies ride upside-down? Why can't I catch a fish on a Pheasant Tail nymph? What is the best color for a background on a fly-tying table? How do you keep track of the leader and tippet you have on a fly line? How long with rivers in North Carolina take to recover from the devastating floods? Why has trout fishing been so lousy in the Northeast this spring? What should I do when trout are feeding on tiny flies? Small dries are too small for me to see. Should I work a small bass river upstream or down? I don't do well on dropoffs. How should I fish them? What is the difference between Helios F and D versions, and what is the difference between the 9-foot and 9-foot 5-inch Helios 5-weight models? A listener takes me to task for making fun of conventional bass anglers.

Do we get the nonfiction we deserve? LATimes book critic Bethanne Patrick wrestles with this question through five new books that both mirror and address our fractured psyche. From Melissa Fibos' choice of celibacy over toxic sexual romance to a lone wolf crossing impossible borders, all these works expose a world grappling with isolation, AI empires, and the collapse of meaningful discourse. Whether it's Thomas Chatterton Williams's critique of wokeness, Damon Young's biting anthology of new black comedy, or Karen Hao's disturbing portrait of OpenAI as our new imperial reality ( Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao), each book reflects our deeper crisis: the inability to connect authentically in our age of social isolation and anxiety. The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex - Melissa Fibos. Melissa Fibos, a writer with a history of intense romantic fixations, realizes she's addicted to the chase rather than genuine connection. She embarks on a year-long celibacy experiment, allowing masturbation and fantasies but avoiding all dating and partnered sex. It's a transformative journey of empowerment as Fibos discovers authentic pleasure in solitude, food, and simple experiences, ultimately meeting her future wife before completing the full year.Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and The Demise of Discourse - Thomas Chatterton Williams. This multiracial critic argues that America's obsession with racial categories perpetuates the very divisions we claim to fight, insisting that race is purely a social construct with no biological basis. Writing from his perspective as an American expat in France, Williams contends that woke discourse and "correct" language distract from addressing real structural problems. His book challenges readers to move beyond tired black-versus-white frameworks toward more nuanced conversations about power and identity.That's How They Get You: An Unruly Anthology of Black American Humor - Edited by Damon Young This collection features sharp satirical pieces from top Black American writers who skewer everything from Karen culture to Disney's racial blindness to tech company exploitation. Contributors include Mateo Askaripour (who wrote the acclaimed "Black Buck") offering biting commentary on workplace racism and cultural appropriation. The anthology demonstrates how humor serves as both weapon and shield, allowing writers to expose systemic absurdities while maintaining their sanity in an often hostile world.Lone Wolf: Walking the Line Between Civilization and Wildness - Adam Weymouth In 2011, a wolf named Slavc traveled over 1,000 miles from Slovenia to the Italian Alps, becoming the first wolf in that region for decades and eventually establishing a pack of over 100. Weymouth follows this remarkable journey to explore how artificial barriers—from the Iron Curtain to Trump's border wall—prevent both wildlife and human refugees from reaching safety. The book uses the wolf's migration as a lens to examine what happens when the wild refuses to respect human boundaries and how life persistently seeks ways to thrive despite our attempts to control it.Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI - Karen Hao. Based on 90 interviews with current and former OpenAI executives plus dozens more from competing tech companies. Hao argues that without proper regulation and transparency, AI could evolve into a modern version of the British East India Company—a technological monopoly that serves elite interests while reshaping global power structures. Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao.

Leah Scurto and Chris Puppione. Chris Puppione from Puppione Family Wines joins Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country today. Leah Scurto from PizzaLeah is also here, and she brought several different pizzas. We will try some pizza and wine pairings. Chris Puppione starts telling the story of the family winery. He had worked in wine and thought of bottles of wine as time capsules. So when his first daughter was born, he made a wine for her to celebrate her birth. A neighbor in the Russian River area sold him one ton of Syrah grapes. He even told a tall tale to his wife to get her to come out and prune the first grapes for their wine. When the second daughter was born he made another wine and they kept on making wine that connects to their family history. This wine they are tasting today is a 2017. California Wine Country is brought to you by Rodney Strong Vineyards and Davis Bynum Wines. Dan Berger discovered Puppione Family Wines when he was a judge in a blended red category at a recent competition. Immediately he liked it so much he found out who made it. It was a really low alcohol wine, which Dan likes. About 10 days later, Dan found the winery and met Chris for the first time. Chris Puppione mentions his day job, he oversees US wineries for Coravin, a company that makes wine equipment. Pizza and Wine Pairings Festa Bianco + Sicilian We're going to do pizza and wine pairing today. Leah Scurto has brought four different pizzas, each one with very different flavors. We will pair them with four Puppione wines. The first pairing is a bottle of Festa Bianco, a white wine, with the Sicilian pizza. Festa was Chris' grandmother's maiden name. The Sicilian pizza has Castelvetrano olives, Italian salame, chili flakes, ricotta and a little red onion. The wine is a Friulano, which is a northern Italian white wine often mistaken for Sauvignon Blanc. It goes well with green vegetables and salads. It come from the Friuli region of Italy, which is the north-eastern part of the country, next to Slovenia. Festa Rosso + Nico The next pizza is the Nico, which is an award winner. It has confit garlic, fresh rosemary, black pepper and Italian sausage. This is paired with Festa Rossa, which is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet and Friulano. It is again, pretty low alcohol. PizzaLeah's Cold Fermentation Dough Dan calls PizzaLeah's pizza the most classic pizza in Sonoma County. A lot of factors make PizzaLeah's pizza special. Importantly, the dough is made by a slow, cold fermentation process. She uses local flour from Central Milling. She makes dough fresh daily. Only after two or three days of proofing in cold storage does it become pizza. Extended fermentation makes bread more digestible. It also gives the dough the right texture. Some deep dish pizzas are not really even pizza, they are more like cake. For comparison, it's almost more like a casserole. PizzaLeah does have two Detroit-style pan pizzas. The crust comes out looking like a brick but light as a feather when you eat it. Juventus + Spade Dan appreciates Chris Pappapietro's wine for the abundant fruit flavors. To make their Friulano, he had to go up into the hills near Tahoe, to a vineyard called Snow's Crossing. It's an alpine wilderness. They foot stomp all of their fruit, just like his grandfather did. His kids get into the bins and stomp fruit. There are pictures of that on their site. Especially, they left the Friulano on the skins in order to get more flavors from it. Next up is the Juventus wine, named after the goddess of youth and rejuvenation (not the soccer team). Instead, he wanted to make a red wine that would invigorate people instead of bringing heaviness. He made it in stainless steel which helps maintain the fruit flavors. An American Pizza, An Italian Award Syrah + Detroit Pepperoni The Spade pizza won an award in the American category in a competition in Napoli. The next wine is their Intero Syrah.

An initial wave of support for Israel after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in which Hamas killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages has been eclipsed by 20 months of reprisals in which Israel has killed nearly 55,000 Palestinians in Gaza including thousands of children. Public support for Israel is sinking and the country's staunchest allies are rowing back. Even so, a huge gap remains between the political rhetoric and the reality of what Israel's partners are doing to stop the atrocities. Among the European Union states that have been most reluctant to condemn Israel is Germany, where the history of the Holocaust is a complicating factor. Germany considers ties with Israel part of its so-called Staatsräson, or raison d'état, effectively aligning German foreign policy and security with that of Israel. And despite the abundant evidence of disproportionate and indiscriminate strikes by Israel, Germany has continued to allow arms sales and to oppose severing trade and political ties. Sharing Germany's support for Israel are countries like Hungary and the Czech Republic with Spain, Slovenia and Ireland among those most supportive of the Palestinians. But as the EU's biggest and richest member state, Germany has an outsized influence on the bloc, and its stance has fed the perception that Europeans are reluctant to restrain Israel. Adding to that impression is Ursula von der Leyen, a German conservative, and the president of the bloc's powerful executive, the European Commission. She only recently shifted tone on Israel by calling targeting of civilian infrastructure abhorrent. In this episode: German journalist Katrin Pribyl on the extent of her country's the pro-Israel stance and the awkward silence von der Leyen has long maintained over Gaza — and on whether von der Leyen has inadvertently imposed Germany's Staatsräson on the rest of Europe.Support the show

In this episode, Louis Arthur-Brown, a cybersecurity leader and solutions partner at CodeStone, pulls back the curtain on the evolving threat landscape. From ransomware-as-a-service to deepfake deception, Louis shares real-world insights and practical strategies for defending your organization in an AI-accelerated world. Whether you're a tech leader or a curious professional, this conversation will sharpen your security instincts and help you build resilience where it matters most. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cybercrime is industrialized: Ransomware-as-a-service and affiliate models make it easy for anyone—even non-technical actors—to launch attacks for as little as $50. AI is amplifying threats: A 1,300% rise in phishing emails last year is just the beginning. Deepfakes and voice cloning are reshaping social engineering tactics. MFA and basic hygiene go a long way: Implementing multi-factor authentication and conditional access can block up to 92% of cyberattacks. Zero Trust is essential: Organizations must move beyond the “walled garden” mindset and adopt a “never trust, always verify” approach to access and data. Data strategy is security strategy: Tools like Microsoft Purview and Windows 365 help classify, protect, and monitor sensitive data—especially in AI-enabled environments. RESOURCES MENTIONED
