Marieke Rijken en Mischa van Geelen laten zien waar bedrijven écht kwetsbaar zijn: niet in hun eigen systemen, maar bij hun leveranciers. Marieke Rijken en Mischa van Geelen bouwen samen aan AdversIQ, een platform dat van buitenaf in kaart brengt waar de digitale toeleveringsketen van een bedrijf lek is. Marieke zit diep in de Nederlandse hackerscommunity en vertaalt die wereld naar iets waar gewone bedrijven mee kunnen werken. Zij noemt het platform een lasagne, laag op laag aan afhankelijkheden waar je geen grip op hebt. Mischa vond als dertienjarige een kwetsbaarheid bij ABN AMRO, werd de jongste fulltime pentester van Nederland en meldde inmiddels meer dan zevenhonderd lekken. Gebruik je geen Salesforce maar je callcenter wel? Dan ben je alsnog geraakt toen de Shiny Hunters toesloegen. Pretendeer je digitaal soeverein te zijn, maar zet je sub-sub-leverancier alles bij Amazon? Dan klopt het verhaal niet. Het gesprek loopt van responsible naar full disclosure, langs een zonnepaneel-lek waarmee je half Europa kunt verstoren, naar de grote vraag: hoe soeverein is Europa écht als bijna de hele cloudmarkt bij Amerikaanse reuzen ligt, en waarom is er nog geen werkend Europees alternatief? Over Marieke Rijken Marieke Rijken (ook wel bekend als Smits..) leeft in twee werelden tegelijk: ze zit diep in de Nederlandse hackerscommunity (DIVD, projectlead van hackerkamp WHY2025) en knoopt als geen ander techniek en marketing aan elkaar. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/piiindakaas/ Website: https://www.adversiq.com/ Over Mischa van Geelen Mischa Rick van Geelen is ethisch hacker, pentester en forensisch onderzoeker. Hij was op zijn vijftiende de jongste fulltime pentester van Nederland, medeoprichter van incident-responsebedrijf NFIR, en meldde inmiddels meer dan zevenhonderd kwetsbaarheden. Hij is medeauteur van de MIAUW-methode en hielp bij grote incidentonderzoeken zoals de hack bij de gemeente Hof van Twente.

Marieke: niet elk probleem dat je vindt hoeft meteen opgelost, bepaal per leverancier zelf wat je accepteert, mitigeert of vervangt, anders verdrink je in de meldingen. Mischa: meld een kwetsbaarheid altijd kort, vriendelijk en zonder iets terug te verwachten, dat brengt je verder dan een dreigende toon. Mischa: wil je je NAS of harde schijf echt leeg, vertrouw niet op de fabrieksreset, want die wist je data vaak niet. Jaag er desnoods een spijker doorheen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Waarom horen onze kinderen op school zo weinig over vrede, terwijl defensiecampagnes en oorlogstaal de media domineren? In deze aflevering van De Nieuwe Wereld spreekt Martijntje Smits met Anne Tabak, geschiedenisdocent aan de Internationale School in Den Haag, over de dringende noodzaak van vredeseducatie.Vanuit haar internationale klas waar kinderen uit conflictgebieden zoals Oekraïne, Rusland, Israël en Palestina naast elkaar zitten vertelt Anne over het doorbreken van vijandsbeelden en dogma's. Waarom leren we op school wel alles over oorlogen, maar niets over de rijke geschiedenis van de vredesbeweging en pioniers zoals Bertha van Suttner? Een gesprek over 'morele moed' in het onderwijs, de deconstructie van propaganda en het belang van het komende symposium over vredeseducatie.--------------Steun DNWMaak het geluid van de Nieuwe Wereld mogelijk.

Kim Kalina's path into homeopathy began after her son's health struggles led her to look beyond conventional treatments and eventually discover a different way of understanding healing. From there, she went on to study homeopathy and build a career as both a practitioner and educator, shaped in part by her earlier background in social work and psychotherapy. She reflects on how this combination of experiences informs her approach, especially when working with emotional issues and trauma. We also talk through her training with CEASE therapy under the late Tinus Smits, including her experiences supporting children with autism and her reflections on individualized care rather than broad protocols. Kim also shares her long-term involvement with triturations and why she values the hands-on process of preparing remedies as part of deepening a homeopath's understanding. Episode Highlights: 03:12 - Finding homeopathy through my son 08:10 - Full-on learning, no holding back 10:50 - Teaching that truly connects 17:14 - Tinus Smits: A Mentor's Influence 23:36 - CEASE Therapy and Its Evolution 27:03 - Focusing on what works better 34:12 - When less truly becomes more 37:01 - Two distinct paths to healing 41:56 - Teaching methods that stay with students 44:27 - Continuing Tinus's legacy forward About my Guests: Kim Kalina is a professional homeopath with over 25 years of international teaching and clinical experience. Originally trained in social work, psychotherapy, sound healing, and music, she went on to study homeopathy in the 1990s and has been in continuous practice since 1996. She has trained with several leading homeopathic teachers, including George Vithoulkas, Alize Timmermann, Jeremy Sherr, Ian Watson, A.U. Ramakrishnan, Farokh Master, Joe Rozencwajg, and Dr. Tinus Smits. Her clinical practice spans the United States and the United Kingdom, and she has worked as a professional homeopath in private practice since the late 1990s. Alongside her clinical work, she has served as a teacher, tutor, and clinic director in multiple homeopathic schools and training programs worldwide, including Teleosis School of Homeopathy, Maya School of Homeopathy, the School of Homeopathy New York, the Irish School of Homeopathy, and CEASE Therapy certification programs. Since 2023, she has also been an instructor for postgraduate seminars focused on healing complex chronic conditions. Kim has been a speaker at international conferences and webinars, including events hosted by the Society of Homeopaths, the Irish Society of Homeopaths, the National Center for Homeopathy, and Whole Health Now. Her work also includes editorial contributions, articles in homeopathic journals, and involvement in the development of Inspiring Homeopathy materials. She is certified by the Council for Homeopathic Certification (CCH), registered with the North American Society of Homeopaths (RSHom NA), and the Society of Homeopaths UK, and is a certified CEASE practitioner and instructor.

In deze aflevering van De Nieuwe Wereld spreekt Martijntje Smits met historicus Jacques Pauwels over zijn boek De mythe van de Goede Oorlog. Pauwels daagt het traditionele beeld van de Verenigde Staten als belangeloze bevrijder in de Tweede Wereldoorlog uit. Hij betoogt dat de Amerikaanse economische elite oorlog ziet als een essentieel verdienmodel en beschrijft hoe Amerikaanse bedrijven zelfs tijdens de oorlog bleven samenwerken met nazi-Duitsland.Het gesprek trekt parallellen naar het heden en analyseert hoe de behoefte aan een 'permanente vijand' van de Sovjet-Unie tot de 'War on Terror': de drijvende kracht blijft achter het Amerikaanse buitenlandse beleid en de groei van de wapenindustrie.Steun DNWMaak het geluid van de Nieuwe Wereld mogelijk.

When a liver tumor is hard to see, the limits of conventional image guidance can become the limits of treatment. In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, Netherlands interventional oncologist Dr. Maarten (M.L.J.) Smits shares a step-by-step walkthrough of the new hepatic arteriography and C-arm CT–guided ablation (HepACAGA) technique, punctuated with a real-world case series at the end. Find out how intra-arterial contrast, cone-beam CT, and 3D needle guidance can improve tumor conspicuity, targeting accuracy, and ablation margin assessment within a single angiography suite. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction02:55 - Netherlands Tech Access04:31 - Origin of HepACAGA07:14 - Why Use a Catheter?11:24 - Tools and Setup13:13 - Catheters and Devices17:06 - Contrast Protocol Basics22:51 - Targeting and Needle Guidance31:09 - Patient Selection35:56 - Extra Benefits and Multimodal39:58 - Workflow and Outcomes46:14 - Evidence and Early Studies51:41 - Rethinking Size Cutoffs57:54 - HCC Case Walkthrough01:02:27 - Hard-to-See Metastasis01:06:22 - Margin Driven Reablation01:11:04 - Bleeding and Embolization01:16:05 - Renal ACAGA Expansion01:23:31 - Adoption and Next Steps --- More about this episode Dr. Smits explains the origins of HepACAGA and why catheter-based contrast delivery can meaningfully change ablation planning, particularly for small lesions, poorly visualized tumors, and cases where ultrasound or conventional CT guidance may be insufficient. He walks through the practical setup, including catheter positioning, contrast dilution, timing protocols, needle navigation, apnea/end-expiration technique, and built-in fusion for immediate ablation verification. He also describes how the angio suite environment supports multimodal treatment, including intraprocedural embolization when bleeding occurs or when additional transarterial therapy is needed. The episode also examines early outcomes from Dr. Smits' group, including a reported reduction in local recurrence from approximately 25% to 5%, with a modest increase in procedure time. Case examples include HCC, small colorectal liver metastases, margin-driven re-ablation, hemorrhage management, and extension of the ACAGA concept to renal tumors (RenACAGA). --- Resources Hepatic Arteriography and C-Arm CT-Guided Ablation (HepACAGA) to Improve Tumor Visualization, Navigation and Margin Confirmation in Percutaneous Liver Tumor Ablationhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37704863/ Renal Arteriography and C-arm CT-Guided Ablation (RenACAGA) for Thermal Ablation of Challenging Renal Tumorshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40295401/ --- BackTable Vascular & Interventional (VI) is the go-to podcast for interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional cardiologists.

Hoe kunnen politici verschil maken in het beschermen van onze democratie? In deze aflevering van onze boekenclub gaat Rosan Smits in gesprek over haar boek ‘Dit is fascisme' met Joost Sneller, Tweede Kamerlid met de portefeuilles justitie, drugs en democratie.Samen bespreken zij wat de politiek concreet kan doen om de rechtsstaat te beschermen. Smits pleit voor meer onderlinge solidariteit. Kunnen politici zich duidelijker uitspreken wanneer hun collega's worden aangevallen vanuit extremistische hoek? Wie een invalshoek probeert te weerleggen, kan deze juist versterken door deze te herhalen.Luister nu en bepaal zelf: wat zijn je plichten als het gaat om je democratische rechten?Presentatie: Daniël SchutRedactie: Amy van den Broek
The San Jose Sharks' playoff hopes are on life support! So it's time for an emergency subscriber mailbag! Let's get to it! Knewbs3: Why trade William Eklund instead of prospects like Quentin Musty and Filip Bystedt? Flying Frenchman: Is management happy with Ryan Warsofsky's performance? Ohheytravis: Is Warsofsky on the hot seat? Tim Graveline: If the San Jose Sharks win the Draft lottery, should they take a BPA forward like Gavin McKenna or trade back for a defenseman prospect? For Zubair, what's a song or maybe an album that best represents this sharks season? What song/album would you hope would represent the sharks next season? Zeke: Which San Jose Barracuda forwards have a legit shot at a playing role in the NHL? Rphillips: Is our organization's ability to develop defensemen a concern? (22:39) Bob Horenstein: What does the defense look like next year? Which UFA's do the Sharks bring back? Dave: Following how patient the Colorado Avalanche were in building a Stanley Cup winner, shouldn't we allow GM Mike Grier that kind of rope? Dylan Smallwood: Does Alex Tuch fit the San Jose Sharks? Would you give him a maximum contract? What player type do the Sharks need next year? Do you see Michael Misa or Sam Dickinson starting next season in the AHL? (40:23) Stephanie K: How much did Doug Wilson Jr.'s drafting hurt the San Jose Sharks' current team? Downriver: What skills do Shakir Mukhamadullin, Dickinson, and Luca Cagnoni need to develop if they're going to be regulars at the NHL level? Do you see Pohlkamp as NHL-ready for a contending team? Finny Damphousse: What are you all sipping on? Alcohol or non-alcoholic. Giant Shark Tooth Necklace: Is there a specific player you would have liked to have seen the Sharks trade for at the Deadline to help with the playoff push? If so, what would your “take or leave it” trade offer have been for that player, if there was a bidding war? Or do you think Grier made the right call to wait until the off-season to make any major moves? James R: For Keegan, realizing there is no Matthew Schaefer in this Draft, are there a defenseman in this year's class that could reasonably step into an NHL lineup next season and be a legit everyday player? (56:33) How comfortable do you feel running back the same goaltending tandem next season? Yetis: The organization has a glut of forwards both on the NHL roster and in the AHL in Musty, Bystedt, and Kasper Halttunen. Who is most likely to go? Rob S: Does Mukhamadullin want to return to the Sharks? Can Mario Ferraro develop his puck-moving beyond what it is now? Sven_: Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized Dan Boyles or 1 Dan Boyle-sized duck? James Murphy: Shouldn't the Sharks have called up Luca Cagnoni earlier to run the power play? Spon: Are the Sharks pushing Dickinson (and possibly Pohlkamp when he arrives) too hard and too soon? Megabite: Any chance Nedeljkovic is not going to return? BiscuitBoy: Is Yaroslav Askarov's glove hand fixable? Will Will Smith learn to be stronger with the puck? Stefan Schwartz: What do you think about the D by committee route for the Sharks, since true No. 1 D are hard to come by? Which middle-pairing defensemen would fit the Sharks? FaultySynapse: What will the San Jose Sharks' depth chart look like if they pull the trigger on a No. 1 defenseman in a trade? (1:14:25) Just Steve: How do you think the Sharks have handled Mukhamadullin and other prospects? Michael K.: What are the Sharks' options on defense next year if Pohlkamp or Cagnoni aren't ready? And they strike out on defense? Cole Seavey: Should the Sharks be in the chase for Auston Matthews? Jigglz: Do you ever see yourselves doing a live, in-person recording of the Pod with an audience? (1:27:36) Sarge: The Sharks have the No. 9 pick of the 2026 Draft. The top-4 defensemen are gone, leaving Daxon Rudolph on the board. Should San Jose take Rudolph or a forward like Oscar Hemming? How angry will Sharks fans be if they pick the non-defenseman? NotAlexKorolyuk: Which stars would you like to see on the Sharks over the next three years, be the most fun? Ken Meehan: What three moves should the Sharks make this summer to “guarantee” a playoff spot next year? Bellizar: If the Sharks pick Albert Smits, is he NHL-ready, and what does a Smits and Dickinson-led defense need around them? Kyle Johnson: As a non-season ticket holder, how do you go about getting prospects scrimmage tickets? I want to get them before they sell out. Chris Geer: If the Sharks don't win the Lottery, should they package a good prospect like a Bystedt etc. with their pick to go up higher in the Draft? Radioheadliner (the other James R.): What would Kevin Woodley or Thomas Speer say about Askarov's ability to stop shots up high or track the puck through screens? Keegan, didn't you tweet way back when that you were worried about his hands? Fin Coe: If Warsofsky keeps his job, are there any Assistant Coaches that could be in the hot seat? Keegan, will you be repping your Sharks fandom at your wedding? Sheng, are there any colleagues of yours whose work you think we should follow? Zubair, what sticks do you rock? Joe E: What's going on with the San Jose Barracuda? They're on a nine-game losing streak. Also, do we trust them to get the most out of Pohlkamp or Leo Sahlin Wallenius? Ricky LaFleur: In Mike Grier's opening presser, his mission statement was that we were going to be hard, heavy, and difficult to play against—basically the complete antithesis of what we are. Why do you think he's deviated from his original blueprint? Gary To: For top power play quarterback next year, would you prefer a youngster like Dickinson or Cagnoni to QB the PP or should they re-explore the five-forward PP? Or acquire a bridge PP1 QB? Kevin: Do we see the Sharks emptying the war chest for one star difference-maker on defense or multiple solid d-men? What will a Michael Kesselring cost? Jon Swenson: Could the San Jose Sharks ask Tyler Toffoli to waive his NTC this off-season? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Ryukyu Islands between Japan and Taiwan consist of around 160 islands and are home to about 1.5 million inhabitants. Across the islands' history, sea-lanes and trade patterns have connected them to the East China Sea region, giving them a unique vantage point on the region's changes and making them a useful lens through which to view and understand those transformations. In this book, Gregory Smits marshals his expertise to canvass the environmental, political, and social history of this fascinating area, emphasizing the diversity of influences from China, Japan, and Korea that have shaped it. Smits begins by tracing the islands' early history from the time of the oldest extant human remains, through massive inflows of settlers from Japan, until the emergence of a centralized state in the sixteenth century. He then traces the development of the Ryukyu Kingdom from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century, examining its major cultural formations and the interplay of local and external influences driving its evolution. Finally, Smits ushers readers to the modern era, from the end of the Ryukyu Kingdom in 1879 through World War II, the era of American military control, and on to the present. He concludes with their present-day status as a tourist destination affected by ongoing geopolitical, economic, and environmental challenges. Synthesizing decades of research, this book is an indispensable, comprehensive guide to the islands' history for scholars and nonspecialists alike. Gregory Smits is professor of history and Asian Studies at Penn State University. He is the author of several books, including, most recently, Early Ryukyuan History: A New Model.

Smits begins by tracing the islands' early history from the time of the oldest extant human remains, through massive inflows of settlers from Japan, until the emergence of a centralized state in the sixteenth century. He then traces the development of the Ryukyu Kingdom from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century, examining its major cultural formations and the interplay of local and external influences driving its evolution. Finally, Smits ushers readers to the modern era, from the end of the Ryukyu Kingdom in 1879 through World War II, the era of American military control, and on to the present. He concludes with their present-day status as a tourist destination affected by ongoing geopolitical, economic, and environmental challenges. Synthesizing decades of research, this book is an indispensable, comprehensive guide to the islands' history for scholars and nonspecialists alike. Gregory Smits is professor of history and Asian Studies at Penn State University. He is the author of several books, including, most recently, Early Ryukyuan History: A New Model. Ran Zwigenberg is a professor at Pennsylvania State University. Learn more about your ad choices.

In deze aflevering van De Nieuwe Wereld duiken we diep in de staat van links en de dringende noodzaak van een sterke vredesbeweging. Terwijl de spanningen rond Iran escaleren en de oorlog in Oekraïne voortduurt, lijkt het kritische geluid in de politiek en media te verstommen. Gastheer Jasper van Dijk gaat in gesprek met Bob Scholte (Left Laser), geograaf Ewald Engelen en filosoof Martije Smits over geopolitiek, de macht van de NAVO en de hypocrisie rondom het internationaal recht.Bob Scholte deelt het laatste nieuws over Left Laser: na een strijd om accreditatie heeft hij eindelijk toegang tot de Tweede Kamer. Wat zegt deze weerstand over de staat van onze journalistiek en de angst voor kritische alternatieve media? Daarnaast analyseren de tafelgasten waarom linkse partijen hun achterban verliezen aan het rechts-conservatieve blok. Is de focus op technocratie en kosmopolitische idealen de oorzaak van de vervreemding van de werkende klasse?Van de militaire agenda van de keizer tot de hedendaagse defensie-uitgaven: is oorlog de ultieme vorm van klassenstrijd waarbij de gewone burger altijd de prijs betaalt? Een vlijmscherp debat over militarisme, de energiecrisis en de vraag hoe een écht sociaal en anti-militaristisch alternatief eruit moet zien.------------------------Steun DNWMaak het geluid van de Nieuwe Wereld mogelijk.

Mastering Virtual Presentations: Tips and TechniquesSUMMARY:Virtual presentations are not going away. Job interviews, client meetings, and hybrid work all mean your first impression is increasingly happening through a webcam. In this episode, Jelmer Smits argues most organisations are still presenting like it's 2020, stuck in survival mode with poor setups, flat delivery, and zero audience care. The result is not professionalism. It is the awkward middle ground where competence and warmth both collapse.We unpack a simple charisma lens, competence plus warmth, and why virtual delivery often drains both. Jelmer explains why “Zoom fatigue” is frequently a boredom problem, not a platform problem, and how speakers can create energy and engagement without becoming an over-caffeinated game show host. The key is variation and audience comfort: helping people feel safe, heard, and understood, especially when they are joining from home and juggling distractions.You will hear practical fixes that go beyond “be more engaging.” Jelmer shares how micro breaks reset attention, why you should ask more questions (including chat prompts, polls, and rhetorical questions), and how to baseline participation early so the session becomes interactive by default. We also talk about slide mistakes, including the difference between presentation slides and handout slides, and why “less slides, more face” usually wins online.We get into the details most speakers ignore, camera angle, lighting, sound, and background choices, including why messy real backgrounds and glitchy fake ones both damage trust. Jelmer also makes the case for practising with feedback rather than alone, plus the underrated skill that saves you when tech fails: improv. Not “be funny” improv, but the ability to shift attention, buy time, and keep the session moving when something breaks.Finally, Jelmer shares what he is building next, including a potential world championship for online presenting and a practice-based learning platform designed to give speakers real rehearsal time, not passive “course consumption.”Links mentioned: Jelmer's work at completepresenter.com, his LinkedIn and his offer of a virtual presenting cheat sheet for listeners and workbook.

Hoe overleef je je zwaarste ondernemersjaar terwijl je kinderen grootbrengt? Waar vind je focus om te groeien zonder jezelf te verliezen? En welke versie van jezelf moet je loslaten om verder te komen als bedrijf? In deze bijzondere seizoensopener doen hosts Yana en Nadia iets wat ze nog nooit eerder deden: ze gooien hun jaar van crisis na crisis volledig op tafel. De twee oprichters van 50 Koffies Producties zagen na 2024 geen toekomst meer voor hun bedrijf. Een jaar waarin ze allebei mama werden, te maken kregen met zieke ouders, een grensoverschrijdende situatie in hun bedrijf moesten oplossen… en in januari 2025 besloten dat hun bedrijf zou stoppen in mei. Yana en Nadia delen zonder filter hoe ze van een financiële en mentale crisis naar meer stabiliteit en groei zijn gegaan. Ze hebben het over slapeloze nachten, het gevoel van constant aan te staan en de uitdaging om niet te verdrinken in alle verantwoordelijkheden. Maar ze praten ook over de kracht van hun duo, de lessen die twee baby's hun business hebben geleerd en waarom ze uiteindelijk besloten om toch door te gaan, en dat met meer goesting dan ooit! Voordat ze anderen interviewen, delen Yana en Nadia eerst hun eigen verhaal. Ze nemen je mee in hun realiteit als drukbezette millennials: de chaos, de twijfels, de doorbraken en de overwinningen. Pak je koffie, thee of water. Ga zitten, liggen, wandelen… Want de 50 Koffies-podcast is back!

Het fascisme rukt op. Maar wat ís het eigenlijk – en vooral: hoe herken je het op tijd? Rosan Smits schreef er een boek over en schuift aan om uit te leggen én te waarschuwen. Want wie begrijpt hoe fascisme werkt, herkent het eerder en staat sterker om er iets tegen te doen. We praten over het verlangen naar een mythisch verleden, de dolkstootlegende en de sluipende normalisering van xenofobe, racistische en gewelddadige ideeën. Waarom is de huiver zo groot om deze stroming ook daadwerkelijk fascistisch te noemen? Want juist door het beest bij de naam te noemen, ontstaan er weer mogelijkheden voor verzet.De Correspondent - Tien manieren om je te verzetten tegen fascisme Productie: Meer van ditMuziek: Keez GroentemanWil je adverteren in deze podcast?

Vandaag bespreken we het boek, Dit is fascisme van Rosan Smits. Rosan Smits is adjunct Hoofdredacteur van de Correspondent. Rosan is politicoloog, deed onderzoek naar radicalisering en geweld in oorlogsgebieden. Ze gaf leiding aan de Conflict Research Unit bij Clinendael. Dit boek is onderdeel van de serie Vonkjes. Wat het boek goed laat zien is hoe fascisme op veel plekken in de wereld al de normaal is. Ze laat de belangrijkste voorbeelden zien die we veel tegen komen in de VS, in Europa en in Nederland en laat je zien waar en hoe het fascisme doordringt. Smits gaf me het gevoel dat het in Nederland niet zo snel gaat als in de VS en Hongarije bijvoorbeeld, en tegelijk schrok ik van de internationale netwerken en denktanks waar ze over schrijft. Het voordeel van de vonkjes, ook nu weer, is dat je in 180 pagina's weet hoe je fascisme herkent, het ondermijnen van de democratie ziet voor wat het is, de rol van extreem rijke mensen ziet en wat je er als burger tegen te doen hebt. Ze komt tot de kern in drie delen zoals het draaiboek dat we eerder zagen in het boek van Over tirannie, met wat er in de VS gebeurt, in Europa en in Nederland en hoe we het stoppen. Het is interessant, maar ook angstaanjagend. Het heeft mij bewuster gemaakt van dingen die ik las om ze te zien als fascisme, de afbraak van de democratie. Zoals in Nederland het wegbezuinigen van onderzoekende programma's als Tegenlicht en Zomergasten. Inhoud Inleiding: het fascisme is terug Deel 1 Dit is fascisme 1 Het draaiboek van het fascisme Deel 2 Het fascisme van vandaag 2 Het fascistische regime-Trump 3 Fascisime in hedendaags Europa 4 Hoe Geert Wilders uit het draaiboek van het fascisme put Deel 3 Een dam tegen het fascisme 5 Samen tegen fascisme 6 Het fundament: strijdbare politiek 7 De beschermlaag: weerbare journalistiek 8 De barrière: een solidaire samenleving Inleiding: het fascisme is terug We hebben het al vaker gehad over hoe veel eenvoudiger de nazis het nu zouden hebben met social media. De inleiding laat zien dat dit nu gebeurt. Facisme is er in veel meer vormen dan alleen de nazis tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Wie tijdig waarschuwt, wordt gezien als alarmist. Maar als de dreiging onmiskenbaar is, is het te laat. p10 Benoemen, begrijpen en bestrijden - zie ook Over tirannie van Snyder. Niet iedere facist is een alleenheerser (zoals Hitler). Het is geen eenduidige ideologie, het is een politieke strategie. Ze ziet het als haar rol dat zoveel mogelijk mensen begrijpen: dit is facisme. Dit boek en haar berichten hierover dragen daar zeker aan bij. Deel 1 Dit is fascisme 1 Het draaiboek van het fascisme Het draaiboek hadden we ook gezien in het boek Het spel van de populist. Hier beschrijft Smits de vijf stadia van het facisme: Ontstaan: de voedingsbodem wordt gelegd in de maatschappij, aanleiding een crisis of onvrede Organisatie: een fascistische partij of beweging vormt zich rond een leider Machtsverwerving: de beweging krijgt toegang tot de politieke macht, (democratisch) via verkiezingen Machtsuitoefening: politieke macht groeit uit tot regeringsmacht; de beweging probeert de controlerende macht uit te schakelen en grondrechten af te breken. Radicalisering of verval: het regime radicaliseert verder of verliest richting en brokkelt af. Tien instrumenten voor mobilisering van het volk Mythisch verleden Propaganda Anti-intellectueel Alternatieve waarheid Hiërarchie Slachtoffer van het complot (dolkstootlegende) gendernormativiteit (de natuurlijke orde) Arbeidsideaal (hardwerkende burgers en luie profiteurs) Kloof tussen stad en platteland Wapens van de rechtstaat (gebruikt recht om tegenstanders te vernietigen en staan zelf boven de wet) Hedendaags facisme herkennen Deel 2 Het fascisme van vandaag 2 Het fascistische regime-Trump De hoeveelheid leugens die Trump verspreid is enorm, de media word ermee overspoelt. Mede via Twitter en zijn eigen social media platform. Alles wat Trump doet past in het draaiboek van facisme. p52 wie zijn land redt, kan de wet niet overtreden. De grote leuge toe hij de vorige verkiezingen verloor en beweerde dat het een gestolen winst was. Ze hadden hem kunnen uitsluiten van de volgende verkiezingen na het veroorzaken van deze bestorming. Rechters worden aangevallen en omzeilt. De Amerikaanse bevolging beweegt, september de No Kings Dat, de grootste landelijke protest in de geschiedenis van de VS. Maar verzet tegen Trump is niet meer zonder risico en reikt tot in Europa. 3 Fascisime in hedendaags Europa 4 Hoe Geert Wilders uit het draaiboek van het fascisme put Deel 3 Een dam tegen het fascisme 5 Samen tegen fascisme 6 Het fundament: strijdbare politiek 7 De beschermlaag: weerbare journalistiek 8 De barrière: een solidaire samenleving Opvallende lessen uit het boek voor ons: 00:00 intro - een eerste indruk van het boek 04:50 De vergelijk met het boek Over tirannie van Timothy Snyder 07:15 Het effect van ons social media gebruik op onze vrije beweging. De fascisime machine draait al. 08:10 Benoemen, begrijpen en bestrijden. 09:40 Fascisme is een politieke strategie om alleenheerschappij te verwerven, door met steun van de massa, de democratische rechtstaat van binnenuit kapot te maken. 12:40 Het is gebeurt, dus het kan weer gebeuren. 16:00 Een mooie toevoeging zou een matrix kunnen zijn om per land te laten zien hoe ver ze zijn in het draaiboek. 17:15 De tien instrumenten voor mobilisering van het volk. 19:20 Waarom staan we toe dat de fascisten het draaiboek kunnen volgen zonder dat ze worden afgeremd of gestraft? 22:45 Trump verspreid zoveel leugens dat het niet bij te houden is. 24:35 Trump volgt het fascisme draaiboek en gebruikt social media voor de verspreiding. 27:20 De tech broeders die de fascisten ondersteunen met onrechtmatige acties en middelen om zo nog meer macht te krijgen. 29:45 Als je de grote leugen de wereld in brengt en blijft herhalen dan blijft een kern hangen bij de mensen. 31:20 Het gebruik van Amerikaanse software binnen de overheid is een drama. 32:25 Verschil in handelen door de minister bij overname door een bedrijf uit de VS of een bedrijf uit China. 34:15 Waarom zijn de fascistische allemaal anti-Europees? 35:50 De dreiging voor de VS komt nu ook uit Europa waardoor ze nu werken aan het destabiliseren van de lidstaten. met The Great Reset. 42:10 De rol van Rutte in het openzetten van de deuren voor de VVD om te regeren met de PVV. 44:20 De beïnvloeding van het debat in de tweede kamer door de voorzitter Martin Bosma (PVV). 45:50 De rol van de burger tegen het fascisme. Wat kan ik doen? In plaats van de rol van de politiek. 47:50 Een matrix bij het draaiboek met data erbij van de stappen die al gezet zijn in Nederland. 50:20 De realiteit waar we staan in het draaiboek van het fascisme in Nederland. 51:00 Burgers die het heft in eigen handen nemen, met grenscontrole, op het domein van de staat. Opruiing door de fascist Wilders. 53:00 Hoe kan een partij met één leider, zonder leden, juridisch aan de Nederlandse verkiezingen meedoen?

Volg Rosan Smits op LinkedIn. Een belangrijk boek om te lezen. Het geeft duiding en laat je zien hoe ver de VS, landen in Europa en Nederland op de fascisme ladder staan. Een duidelijke matrix per land met data er bij van de acties bij de stappen uit het handboek zou het nog duidelijker hebben gemaakt en de lezer de volgende stap sneller laten herkennen. Persoonlijk zou ik het fijn vinden als de acties die ik als individu, als burger, kan ondernemen scherper naar voren komen. Nu heb ik het gevoel dat ik de eerste acties kan afschuiven op de politiek en de media. Lees dit boek en leer fascisme herkennen in het nieuws. Transcript
De uitzending start met een fragment uit de podcast 'Ergens'. (https://npo.nl/luister/podcasts/1295-ergens) (09:26) Eelco Smits is acteur. Hij zat vijftien jaar bij het Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (voorheen Toneelgroep Amsterdam), waar hij kortgeleden afscheid nam. Smits speelde onder andere in ‘Angels in America', ‘Hamlet' en ‘Geschiedenis van Geweld', waar hij een Louis d'Or voor won. In 2018 ontving hij de Paul Steenbergenpenning voor zijn hele oeuvre. Nu speelt hij in ‘Pride & Prejudice', een theaterbewerking van de wereldberoemde roman van Jane Austen. De theaterbewerking wordt vanuit een queer perspectief verteld. Met gevoel voor kostuumdrama trekken de spelers de wortels van het patriarchaat met brute kracht uit de grond. Nog steeds feestelijk en frivool, maar ook compromisloos, kwetsbaar en eigentijds. Femke van der Laan gaat met Eelco Smits in gesprek.

De wereld verandert. Wie het nieuws volgt of gewoon om zich heen kijkt, kan zich verloren voelen. Soms lijkt de wereld van vandaag aan andere wetten te voldoen dan die van gisteren. Maar de spiegel van de geschiedenis kan helpen om het nu te begrijpen. Daarom vraagt OVT deze zomer in de serie ‘Oude woorden, nieuwe wereld' aan zes schrijvers en denkers welk historisch boek hen helpt de wereld van nu te begrijpen. Deze zes denkers en schrijvers laten hun licht schijnen op de kwesties van nu, met de woorden van toen. Deze week: Schrijver Marian Donner en Japanoloog Ivo Smits over Het Hoofdkussenboek van Sei Shōnagon uit het jaar 1002.
Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! This episode takes you deep into the real-world practice of prescribing testosterone therapy for women. This is not a high-level overview—this is a nuts and bolts breakdown: ✅ Who it's for ✅ How it's dosed ✅ What labs to run ✅ What delivery methods are safest ✅ Why it's often done wrong—and how to get it right With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. McCarthy shares the insights no seminar or textbook can offer, including the emotional and psychological challenges women face when beginning testosterone therapy, and the very real fears around side effects and community stigma.
Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! In this episode we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood and debated topics in hormone health: testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for women. You may have heard horror stories—or glowing reviews. But what's the truth? Dr. McCarthy discusses: - Why testosterone matters for women's health - How it affects brain chemistry, mood, bone density, and even breast tissue - Its role after estrogen-suppressing breast cancer treatments - The difference between safe and unsafe TRT - What your provider should be doing to monitor and manage it effectively Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he's been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients. Physicians travel to Arizona to take his course and integrate it into their own practices. Besides hormone replacement therapy, Dr. McCarthy has spoken nationally and locally before physicians on topics such as weight loss, infertility, nutritional therapy and more.
