L'expression "riche comme Crésus" est utilisée depuis des siècles pour désigner une immense fortune. Mais qui était Crésus, et pourquoi est-il devenu le symbole absolu de la richesse ? Pour le comprendre, il faut plonger dans l'histoire du royaume de Lydie, en Asie Mineure, au VIe siècle avant notre ère.Crésus, dernier roi de LydieCrésus règne sur la Lydie entre 595 et 546 av. J.-C. Son royaume, situé dans l'actuelle Turquie, est prospère grâce à une ressource précieuse : l'or du fleuve Pactole. Selon la légende, le roi Midas aurait lavé ses mains dans ce fleuve, lui donnant ainsi la capacité de transporter des paillettes d'or. Grâce à cette richesse naturelle, Crésus frappe les premières monnaies d'or standardisées de l'histoire, facilitant le commerce et renforçant son influence.Sous son règne, la Lydie devient un centre économique majeur, attirant les plus grands artisans et penseurs de l'époque, dont le philosophe Solon, venu d'Athènes.La rencontre avec Solon : une leçon sur le bonheurUn jour, Crésus invite Solon à sa cour et lui demande : "Qui est l'homme le plus heureux du monde ?" S'attendant à être cité, il est surpris lorsque Solon évoque d'autres hommes, non pas riches, mais ayant connu une belle vie et une mort honorable. Solon lui rappelle alors une vérité fondamentale : "Nul ne peut être déclaré heureux avant sa mort". Une mise en garde qui prendra tout son sens plus tard…La chute de Crésus : un destin tragiqueFort de sa puissance, Crésus décide d'attaquer l'Empire perse de Cyrus le Grand en consultant l'oracle de Delphes. L'oracle lui prédit que s'il part en guerre, "il détruira un grand empire". Confiant, il attaque, mais c'est son propre royaume qui tombe en 546 av. J.-C.Fait prisonnier par Cyrus, Crésus est condamné au bûcher. Mais au moment des flammes, il s'écrie "Solon ! Solon ! Solon !". Intrigué, Cyrus arrête l'exécution et Crésus lui raconte la sagesse du philosophe. Impressionné, Cyrus lui accorde la vie sauve et en fait son conseiller.Un symbole éternel de richesse et d'éphéméritéCrésus incarne à la fois la prospérité absolue et la fragilité du destin. Son nom est resté gravé dans l'histoire, rappelant que la fortune ne garantit ni le bonheur, ni la sécurité. Voilà pourquoi, encore aujourd'hui, on dit "riche comme Crésus" ! Hébergé par Acast.

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/t6kkq6dI6hcWhen and why do written laws emerge in ancient societies? This lecture will consider these questions in light of evidence including the law code of Hammurabi; the earliest attestation of written laws in Greek (found in Dreros on Crete); and the full-blown commitment to written laws by the Athenian lawgiver Solon. Such cases will be used to explore how writing bears on the the functions of law more generally, in light of debates in contemporary legal philosophy. This lecture was recorded by Melissa Lane on 23rd January 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Melissa Lane is Gresham Professor of Rhetoric.Melissa is also the Class of 1943 Professor of Politics, Princeton University and is also Associated Faculty in the Department of Classics and Department of Philosophy.

En Haïti, la situation sécuritaire ne cesse de se dégrader à mesure que l'emprise des gangs augmente, avec un million de personnes déplacées, soit trois plus que l'année dernière (2024). Comment tous ces déplacés vivent-ils, comment le gouvernement haïtien leur vient-il en aide ? Mikaël Ponge a joint Rosy Auguste Ducéna, chargée de programme au RNDDH, pour revenir sur la situation des Haïtiens vivant dans des sites d'accueil : 150 000 personnes, dont 30 000 enfants, répartis sur 117 sites d'accueil répartis dans le département de l'ouest (où se trouve Port-au-Prince) et dans le département de l'Artibonite.Mais ces écoles, églises, hôpitaux ne sont pas faits pour accueillir des déplacés. Dans la grande majorité des cas, il n'y a pas accès à des points d'eau ou des toilettes. Seule la moitié des sites que le RNDDH a pu visiter bénéficie d'un plan de santé de la part de l'État.L'État qui n'est pas totalement absent, mais dont les efforts sont insignifiants, selon Rosy Auguste Ducéna. Elle dénonce, par ailleurs, la mainmise des 38 ONG présentes sur les différents sites. Car si la responsable du RNDDH salue leurs efforts pour venir en aide à la population, elle déplore, entre autres, que les distributions se fassent souvent dans un désordre général, et que les personnes assistées n'aient pas été consultées en amont, pour que l'aide corresponde au mieux à leurs besoins.Se pose aussi la question de la sécurité, avec une police absente de ces espaces : le RNDDH relève des cas de bagarres, de violences sexuelles, de harcèlement de femmes et de filles. Leslie Voltaire a quitté HaïtiLe président du Conseil présidentiel de transition haïtien, Leslie Voltaire, va aller en France et au Vatican, où il sera reçu samedi (25 janvier 2025) par le pape, rapporte Le Nouvelliste. Dans son éditorial, Frantz Duval remarque que « notre diplomatie n'est pas toujours là où elle devrait être ni avec les interlocuteurs les plus attendus, mais elle s'active (…) Toute l'utilité de la diplomatie est d'aider à trouver des résultats, des ressources, des moyens aux problèmes ». Et Frantz Duval de conclure : « Dans le cas d'Haïti, nous n'avons souvent que les sourires et des soupirs ». Aux États-Unis, les arrestations et expulsions de migrants ont commencéAux États-Unis, Donald Trump a donné le coup d'envoi de sa politique répressive envers les migrants clandestins : ce jeudi 23 janvier 2025, 538 ont été arrêtés, et plusieurs centaines expulsées.Selon le quotidien mexicain Milenio, plus de 500 migrants auteurs de délits mineurs ont été expulsés. Aux États-Unis, dans les communautés de migrants dans la région de Boston, tout le monde est paniqué, titre le Boston Globe : les rumeurs de raids des officiers de l'immigration courent sur les médias sociaux, dans les boucles téléphoniques, les migrants affolés appellent leurs avocats... Des rumeurs qui, dans ce cas, se sont révélées fausses, écrit le quotidien, mais dans les villes où la population immigrée est importante, c'est la panique. D'autant que, annonce USA Today, Donald Trump « affecte des milliers d'agents fédéraux en plus à l'arrestation d'immigrants » : les U.S. Marshals, la Drug Enforcement Administration, le Bureau des alcools, du tabac, des armes à feu et des explosifs, ainsi que le Bureau fédéral des prisons. Dans le Chicago Tribune, le maire de Chicago Brandon Johnson s'engage à lutter pour protéger « tous les habitants de Chicago », et affirme qu'il « ne cèdera pas » devant les menaces de poursuite par le ministère de la Justice de Donald Trump. Le Mexique se prépare au retour de migrantsLa présidente du Mexique Claudia Sheinbaum a dit son opposition aux expulsions annoncées par Donald Trump, rappelle le New York Times, mais le Mexique ayant le plus grand nombre de migrants illégaux vivant aux États-Unis (estimés à 4 millions), le pays doit se préparer. Ce jeudi 23 janvier 2025, écrit Excelsior, Claudia Sheinbaum a indiqué que les travaux d'adaptation des centres pour les migrants mexicains qui pourraient être expulsés par le gouvernement Trump se poursuivent : 2 sont déjà prêts, et les 9 faisant partie du programme « Le Mexique vous prend dans ses bras » devraient être prêts en fin de semaine. 9 centres situés près de la frontière, détaille le New York Times, constitués d'immenses tentes situées dans des parkings, des stades et des entrepôts, avec des cuisines mobiles gérées par l'armée. Toutes les branches du gouvernement doivent participer à cet effort – et au-delà : la présidente, relève Excelsior, a ainsi remercié le Conseil de coordination des entreprises pour son soutien dans l'ouverture de près de 35 000 postes de travail pour les ressortissants mexicains.  Droit du solOn se prépare donc au Mexique, mais aussi dans plusieurs pays d'Amérique latine car Donald Trump ne compte pas s'arrêter là : il veut interdire temporairement le droit du sol. Mais le décret allant dans ce sens, signé juste après son investiture, a été suspendu par un juge fédéral, pour deux semaines. Un temps limité, explique Sébastien Natroll, journaliste et spécialiste de la Cour suprême, car c'est le seul moyen pour un juge de district de pouvoir agir au niveau national. Reste que, selon Sébastien Natroll, toute famille touchée par ce décret pourra saisir la justice et le faire invalider dans son propre cas - car le texte va à l'encontre des jurisprudences émises par la Cour suprême depuis 1898… Jair Bolsonaro espère des grâces au BrésilCe jeudi, l'ancien président brésilien Jair Bolsonaro a espéré que son pays allait s'inspirer de Donald Trump, plus précisément de sa décision de gracier des personnes condamnées pour l'assaut du Capitole. L'ancien président d'extrême-droite pense, bien sûr, de son côté à une amnistie pour les quelque 400 personnes arrêtées pour avoir attaquées le siège des Trois Pouvoirs à Brasilia en 2023, rapporte Correio Braziliense – ils cherchaient à saboter l'investiture du président Lula.« J'espère qu'un président de droite n'aura pas à venir pour faire cela, et que le Congrès résoudra ce problème maintenant », a dit Jair Bolsonaro. Jair Bolsonaro est lui-même sous le coup d'une enquête, pour déterminer s'il est l'instigateur de la tentative de coup d'État du 8 janvier.Donald Trump est aussi une inspiration aussi pour Javier Milei : Ce jeudi, le président argentin l'a qualifié de « lumière pour le monde entier » lors de son intervention au forum économique de Davos. Et, dans la droite ligne du dirigeant américain, il a critiqué ce qu'il appelle le « cancer du wokisme ». David Copello, politologue et spécialiste de l'Argentine à l'Institut catholique de Paris, y voit aussi une volonté de « se réaffirmer comme celui qui avait proposé tout cela en premier, et essaie maintenant de trouver des partenaires internationaux. » Le journal de la PremièreEn Martinique, l'affaire de la « publication des comptes » du Groupe Bernard Hayot a été renvoyée au 13 février 2025.

Vloge prijateljev, ki zmorejo priskočiti na pomoč, so se v antiki zavedali še veliko bolj kot danes. Tako rekoč skoraj vsi grški modreci, ki so jih prištevali k prvim filozofom, so v svojih kratkih izrekih poudarjali njegov pomen. Solon iz Aten je tako dejal: »Prijateljev ne pridobivaj hitro, tiste, ki jih dobiš, pa hitro ne zavrzi.« Ali pa: »Spoštuj prijatelje.« Hilon iz Šparte je še bolj izrazito opozoril na vlogo prijateljev kot pomočnikov v stiski, ko je dejal: »Na gostije prijateljev se odpravljaj počasi, če so v nesreči, pa (pojdi k njim) hitro.« Znameniti filozof Tales iz Mileta v Mali Aziji, ki je leta 585 pr. Kr. uspel natančno določiti pojav sončnega mrka, je govoril o tem, da moramo o prijateljih misliti in govoriti dobro v vsakem trenutku, tudi tedaj, ko niso v naši bližini. Takole pravi: »Spomni se tako prisotnih kot odsotnih prijateljev.« Pritrjuje mu Pitak z otoka Lezbosa, ko nagovarja antičnega človeka: »Ne govori slabo o prijatelju niti dobro o sovražniku, takšno (dejanje) je namreč nerazumno.« Periander iz Korinta pa je poleg velikega pomena besed, ki jih izrečemo o človeku, ki ga imenujemo prijatelj, opozarjal tudi na potrebo po dejanjih. Tako se glasi njegov izrek: »Do prijateljev bodi enak v (njihovi) sreči in nesreči.« Podobno kot pri starih Grkih iz 6. stoletja pr. Kr. so tudi v kasnejši rimski družbi izpostavljali predvsem pozitivno stran prijateljstva. Horacij je prijatelja imenoval »polovica duše«, Cicero pa »drugi jaz« ter ugotavljal, da »bolj potrebuješ prijatelja kot ogenj in vodo.« A v antiki se najde tudi pregovor, ki trdi, da so prijatelji »tatovi časa«. Opozarja nas na zmernost tudi v tako pomembni in pozitivni sferi, kot je prijateljevanje. Obstaja namreč nevarnost, da v inflaciji prijateljskih druženj neizogibno izgubimo same sebe in svoj – če uporabim Cicerovo podobo – »prvi jaz«.

Last time we spoke about the Long March. Amidst escalating conflicts, the Red Army, led by the newly empowered Mao Zedong, faced immense pressures from the Nationalist Army. Struggling through defeats and dwindling forces, they devised a bold retreat known as the Long March. Starting in October 1934, they evaded encirclement and crossed treacherous terrain, enduring heavy losses. Despite dire circumstances, their resilience allowed them to regroup, learn from past missteps, and ultimately strengthen their strategy, securing Mao's leadership and setting the stage for future successes against the KMT. During the Long March (1934-1936), the Red Army skillfully maneuvered through treacherous terrain, evading the pursuing National Revolutionary Army. Despite harsh conditions and dwindling numbers, advances and strategic ploys allowed them to cross critical rivers and unite with reinforcements. Under Mao Zedong's leadership, they faced internal struggles but ultimately preserved their unity. By journey's end, they had transformed into a formidable force, setting the stage for future victories against their adversaries and solidifying their influence in China.   #131 The Complicated Story about Xinjiang Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson. But, before we start I want to also remind you this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube. Perhaps you want to learn more about the history of Asia? Kings and Generals have an assortment of episodes on history of asia and much more  so go give them a look over on Youtube. So please subscribe to Kings and Generals over at Youtube and to continue helping us produce this content please check out www.patreon.com/kingsandgenerals. If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. I've said probably too many times, but theres one last major series of events I'd like to cover before we jump into the beginning of the 15 year war between China and Japan. When I say Xinjiang I imagine there are two responses from you in the audience, 1) what the hell is Xinjiang or number 2) oh what about that place in northwest China. That pretty much sums it up, the history of this province, or region if you want to call it that is almost never spoken about. It was a place as we have seen multiple times in the series, where conflicts come and go like the weather. But in the 1930's things really heated up. What I want to talk about is collectively part of the Xinjiang Wars, but more specifically I want to talk about the Kumul Rebellion. There's really no way to jump right into this one so I am going to have to explain a bit about the history of Xinjiang.  Xinjiang in a political sense is part of China and has been the cornerstone of China's strength and prestige going back to the Han dynasty over 2000 years ago. In a cultural sense however, Xinjiang is more inline with the Muslim dominated middle-east. It's closer to th Turkic and Iranian speaking peoples of Central Asia. From a geographical point of view Xinjiang is very much on the periphery. It is very isolated from western asia by the massed ranks of the Hindu Kush, the Pamirs, the Tien Shan, the Indian Subcontinent of Karakoram, Kunlun, the Himalaya ranges and of course by the Gobi desert. It neither belongs to the east or west. As a province of China its the largest and most sparsely populated. It can be divided into two main regions, the Tarim Basin and Zungharia and then into two lesser but economically significant regions, the Ili Valley and Turgan Depression. The Tien Shan mountain range extends roughly eastward from the Pamir Massif, creating a formidable barrier between Zungharia and the Tarim Basin. This natural obstacle complicates direct communication between the two regions, particularly during winter. The Ili Valley, separated from Zungharia by a northern extension of the Tien Shan, is physically isolated from the rest of the province and can only be easily accessed from the west. This western area came under Russian control in the mid-nineteenth century and now forms part of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. Now it has to be acknowledged, since the formation of the PRC in 1949, Xinjiang changed in size and ethnic composition. The CCP drove a massive Han migrant wave over. Regardless, Han's make up a minority and according to some population statistics taken during the 1940s, Xinjiang was dominated by 7 Muslim nationalities, roughly 3.5 million people out of a total population of 3.7 million. 200,000 of these were Han settlers, while 75,000-100,000 were Mongols, Russians, Tunguzic peoples (those being Sibo, Solon and Manchu), a few Tibetans, Afghans and Indians. Among the various indigenous Muslim nationalities of Xinjiang, the Uighurs stand out as the most numerous and politically important. This Turkic-speaking group primarily consists of sedentary agriculturalists who reside in the oases of the Tarim Basin, Turfan, Kumul, and the fertile lowlands of the Hi Valley. In the late 1940s, the Uyghur population in Xinjiang was estimated to be approximately 2,941,000. Following the Uyghurs, the second-largest Muslim nationality in the region is the Kazakhs, with an estimated population of around 319,000 during the late Republican Period. Kirghiz come in third, with an estimated population of about 65,000 at the same time. Both the Kazakhs and Kirghiz in Xinjiang are nomadic Turkic-speaking peoples, with the Kazakhs primarily found in the highland areas of Zungharia and the Hi Valley, while the Kirghiz inhabit the upland pastures of the Tien Shan and Pamirs. There also exist a small group of Iranian-speaking 'Mountain' Tajiks living in the upland Sarikol region in the far southwest, with an estimated population of 9,000 in the mid-1940s; a primarily urban group of Uzbeks residing in larger oasis towns and cities of the Tarim Basin, numbering approximately 8,000 in the mid-1940s; and a smaller group of Tatars settled mainly in Urumqi and the townships near the Xinjiang-Soviet border, estimated at 5,000 during the same period. Lastly, it is important to mention the Hui, a group of Chinese-speaking Muslims dispersed throughout China, particularly in Zungharia and Kumul within Xinjiang, as well as in the neighboring northwestern provinces of Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia. Known as 'Tungan' in Xinjiang, the Hui population was estimated at around 92,000 in the mid-1940s and held significant political and military influence during the Republican Period. Excluding the Ismaili Tajik's of Sarikol, the Muslim population of Xinjiang, whether Turkic or Chinese speaking, are Sunni following the orthodox of Hanafi Madhhab.  As for the non Muslim population, excluding the Mongols who numbered roughly 63,000 and inhabit a narrow strip of land along the northeastern frontier between Xinjiang and the Mongolian People's Republic, Tien Shan, Ili Vally and Chuguchak, most were newcomers, migrants from the mid 18th century while the region was being conquered. Again according to the same statistics from the 1940s I mentioned, Hans represented 3-4 % of the population. Although the Han population disproportionately held power with the main administrative areas, they had no sizable territorial enclaves. The Han population can basically be divided into 5 groups; descendants of exiled criminals and political offenders; Hunanese settlers who came over after Zuo Zungtang's conquests; Tientsin merchants who were supplying Zuo's army; Shanxi caravaneers who came to trade and Gansu colonists. Lastly there were the Tunguzic Peoples and Russians. The Tunguzic speaking Sibo, Solon and Manchu settled mostly in the Ili region. The Russians also tended to live in the Ili region. These were mostly White Russian refugees from the civil war.  Xinjiang's first Republican governor was Yang Zengxin, a Yunnanese native. He had previously worked as the district magistrate in Gansu and Ningxia earning a reputation as a good manager of the local Tungan Muslim population. In 1908 he was transferred to Xinjiang and quickly found himself promoted to by the last Qing governor of Xinjiang. He held out his post after the Xinhai revolution and quelled a Urumqi rebellion soon after. Yang Zengxin's survived politically by always siding with whichever faction he thought was winning. For example in 1917, President Li Yuanghong dispatched Fan Yaonan to watch over Yang and try to replace him if possible. Yang recognized quickly whichever Warlord faction held power over the Beiyang government should be courted. Thus Yang held out for a long time and his province was comparably peaceful compared to most of warlord era China. To maintain his power, Yang enacted a divide and rule style, trying to placate the conflicts between certain groups within Xinjiang, but made sure to exclude Russian influence. Basically Yang tried his best to keep groups who could come into conflict away from each other, keeping the Uyghurs of southern Xinjiang away from the pastoral nomads of Zungharia and Tien Shan. Above all Yang considered the Bolshevik Russians to be the greatest threat to his regime, in his words “The Russians ... aimed at ... isolating the country from all outside influence, and at maintaining it in a state of medieval stagnation, thus removing any possibility of conscious and organised national resistance. As their religious and educational policy, the Russian administrators sought to preserve the archaic form of Islam and Islamic culture. . . Quranic schools of the most conservative type were favoured and protected against any modernist influence”. During his 16 year of power, Yang established himself as a competent autocrat, a mandarin of the old school and quite the capable administrator. Yet his economic policies were long term exploitative causing hardship and exhausting the province. Yang realized he was reached the threshold of what the population was willing to endure and endeavored to allow corruption to emerge within his administration provided it remained within acceptable limits. IE: did not spring forward a Muslim revolution. He opened junior positions in the administration to Muslims which had a duel effect. It made the Muslim community feel like they were part of greater things, but placed said officials in the path of the populations anger, insulating senior Han officials. Ironically it would be his fellow Han Chinese officials who would become angry with him. Some were simply ambitious of his power, others felt that Xinjiang should be more closely inline with China proper.  Rumors have it that after a dinnr party, Yang deliberately surrounded himself with opium addicts, stating to his subordinates “the inveterate opium smoker thinks more of his own comfort and convenience than of stirring up unrest among his subordinates”. Needless to say, Yang later years saw him seriously alienating senior officials. By 1926 he claimed “to have created an earthly paradise in a remote region” so he seemed to be quite full of himself. That same year he turned against his Tungan subordinates. He accused many of conspiring with Ma Qi, a Tungan warlord of Xuning in Qinghai, whom he also thought were driven by Urumqi. Deprived of his formerly loyal Tungans, Yang found himself increasingly isolated. A expedition was sent to Urumqi in 1926, whr G. N Roerich noted “The Governor's residence consisted of several well-isolated buildings and enclosed courtyards. The gates were carefully guarded by patrols of heavily armed men ... The Governor's yamen seemed to us to be in a very dilapidated condition. The glass in many of the windows on the ground floor was broken and dirty papers and rags had been pasted on the window frames. Numerous retainers roamed about the courtyards and villainous bodyguards, armed with mauser pistols, were on duty at the entrance to the yamen.” It seems likely Yang had decided to leave Xinjiang at that point. He had amassed a immense personal fortune and sent much of it to his family in China proper and also to Manila where he had a bank account. Further evidence of this was provided by Mildred Cable and Francesca French, two members of the China inland Mission who reported 'Wise old Governor Yang ... as early as 1926 ... quietly arranged a way of escape for his family and for the transference of his wealth to the security of the British Concession in Tientsin. Later in the same year, accompanied by several 'luggage cases of valuables', Yang's eldest son was sent out of Sinkiang, travelling incognito, in the company of these missionaries”. It was also at this time Yang erectd a statue of himself in th public gardens at Urumqi. According to Nicholas Roerich, this memorial was paid for with forced contributions 'from the grateful population'; by all accounts the statue was in execrable taste . While the NRA was marching upon Beijing in June of 1928, Yang ordered the KMT flag to be raised in Xinjiang. This gesture indicated to all, Yang was about to depart the province. One of Yang's most dissident subordinates, a Han named Fan Yaonan decided to act. Fan Yaonan was an ambitious modernist who received his education in Japan and someone Yang distruste from day one. Fan was appointed the post of Taoyin of Aksu by the Beijing government, an appointment Yang could have easily ingored, but was grudgingly impressd by Fans abilities. Fan proved himself very useful to Yang and was soon promoted to the Taoyin of Urumqi alongside becoming the Xinjiang Provincial Commissioner for Foreign Affairs. It seems Fan and Yang mutually disliked each other. At some point in 1926 Fan got together with a small group of like minded officials, such as the engineer at Urumqi's telegraph station and the Dean of the local school of Law, and Fan told them he wanted to assasinate Yang. Some believe Fan sought to gain favor with the KMT as motivation. Regardless on July 7th of 1928, 6 days after Yang took the post of Chairman of the Xinjiang Provincial Government under the KMT, Fan attacked. On that day, Yang was invited to a banquet to celebrate a graduation ceremony at the Urumqi law school. Fan had arranged the banquet, with 18 soldiers present, disguised as waiters wearing “red bands around their arms and Browning pistols in their sleeves”. During the meal, Fan proposed a toast to the health of Yang at which time “shots rang outsimultaneously, all aimed at the Governor. Seven bulletsin all were fired, and all reached their mark. Yang, mortally wounded, but superb in death, glared an angry defiance at his foes, 'who dares do this?' he questioned in the loud voice which had commanded instant obedience for so many years. Then he fell slowly forward, his last glance resting upon the face of the trusted Yen, as though to ask forgiveness that he had not listened to the advice so often given to him”. According to Yan Tingshan who was also wounded, Fan Yaonan finished Yang Zengxin off with two shots personally. After the assassination, whereupon 16 people were killed or wounded, Fan went to Yang official residence and seized the seals of office. He then sent a letter summonig Jin Shujen, the Commissioner for Civil Affairs in Xinjiang and Yang's second in command. Jin called Fan's bluff and refusing to come, instead sending soldiers to arrest the assassin. It seems Fan greatly miscalculated his personal support as a short gun battle broke out and he was arrested by Jin and shortly thereafter executed with his complices on July 8th. And thus, Jin Shujen found himself succeeding Yang, a less able man to the job. Jin Shujen was a Han Chinese from Gansu. He graduated from the Gansu provincial academy and served for a time as the Principal of a Provincial normal school. He then entered the Imperial Civil Service, where he came to the attention of Yang, then working as the district Magistrate at Hozhou. Yang took him on as district magistrate and Jin rose through the ranks. By 1927 Jin became the Provincial Commissioner for Civil Affairs at Urumqi. After executing Fan, Jin sent a telegram to Nanjing seeking the KMT's official recognition of his new role. Nanjing had no real options, it was fait accompli, they confirmed Jin into office and under the new KMT terminology he was appointed Provincial Chairman and commander-in-chief. In other words an official warlord.  Following his seizure of power, Jin immediately took steps to secure his newfound power. His first step was to double the salaries of the secret police and army. He also expanded the military and acquired new weaponry for them. Politically, Jin maintained the same old Qing policies Yang did, pretty much unchanged. Jin did however replace many of the Yunnanese followers under Yang with Han CHinese from Gansu. Jins younger brother, Jin Shuxin was appointed Provincial Commissioner for military affairs at Urumqi and his other brother Jin Shuqi was given the senior military post at Kashgar. His personal bodyguard member Zu Chaoqi was promoted to Brigade Commander at Urumqi. Jin maintained and expanded upon Yang's system of internal surveillance and censorship, like any good dictator would. According to H. French Ridley of the China Inland Mission at Urumqi “people were executed for 'merely making indiscreet remarks in the street during ordinary conversation”. Jin also introduced a system of internal passports so that any journey performing with Xinjiang required an official passport validation by the Provincial Chairman's personal seal, tightening his security grip and of course increasing his official revenue. Travel outside Xinjiang became nearly impossible, especially for Han officials and merchants seeking trade with China proper.  Under Jin Xinjiang's economy deteriorated while his fortune accumulated. Yang had introduced an unbacked paper currency that obviously fell victim to inflation and Jin upted the anty. Within a process of several stages, he expanded the currency, causing further inflation. Under Yang the land taxes had been a serious source of the provincial revenue, but Yang was not foolish enough to squeeze the Turkic peasantry too hard, he certainly was intelligent enough to thwart peasant revolts. Jin however, not so smart, he tossed caution to the win and doubled the land taxes, way past what would be considered the legal amount. Jin also emulated Ma Fuxiang, by establishing government monopolies over various profitable enterprises, notably the gold mine at Keriya and Jade mine at Khotan. He also monopolized the wool and pelt industry, using his police and army to force the sale of lambskins at a mere 10% of their market value. Just as with Yang's regime, wealth flowed out of the province in a continuous stream, straight into banks within China proper. According to George Vasel, a German engineer and Nazi agent hired to construct airfields in Gansu during the early 1930s, he knew a German pilot named Rathje who was secretly employed by Jin to fly a million dollars worth of gold bullion from Urumqi to Beijing. Jin did his best to keep all foreign influence out of Xinjiang and this extended also to KMT officials from China proper. Jin also of course did his best to conceal his corrupt regime from Nanjing. For all intensive purposes Jin treated Xinjiang like a feudal, medieval society. He tried to limit external trade to only be through long distance caravans. All was fine and dandy until Feng Yuxiang occupied Gansu and thus disrupted the traditional trade routes. Alongside this the Soviets had just constructed a new railroad linking Frunze, the capital of Kirghiz with Semipalatinsk in western siberia. This railroad known as the Turksib was aimed primarily to develop western Turkstan, integrating it within the new soviet system. The railroad was constructed 400 miles away from the Xinjiang frontier, on purpose to limit any activities with capitalists. When the railway was completed in 1930 it virtually strangled Xinjiang. China's share of Xinjiang's market dropped by 13% and the value of trade with the Soviets which had dropped to zero since the Russian civil war was not rising past 32 million roubles by 1930. The Soviet trade gradually was seizing a monopoly over Xinjiang and this of course affected the merchants and workers who were unable to compete. The revenue of the merchants and workers declined as new taxes were levied against them. Meanwhile alongside an increase in Soviet trade, the new railway also increased Soviet political influence over Xinjiang. It was also much faster and easier to travel from China proper to Xinjiang via Vladivostok, the trans-siberian railway and Turksib than across the North-West roads of China. For the Turkic speaking Muslims of Xinjiang, it was quite impressive and many wanted to do business and mingle with the Soviets. However to do so required a visa, and thus KMT officials in Nanjing held the keys. Jin's policies towards the Turkic Muslims, Tungans and Mongols were extremely poor from the very beginning. It seems Jin held prejudice against Muslims, some citing bad experiences with them in Gansu. Whatever the case may be, Jin rapidly antagonized both his Turkic speaking and Tungan Muslim citizens by introducing a tax on the butchering of all animals in Xinjiang and forbidding Muslims to perform the Hajj to Mecca. Some point out he did that second part to thwart a loophole on leaving Xinjiang for trade. Obviously the Muslim majority of Xinjiang and the military powerhouse of Torgut Mongols in the Tien Shan bitterly resented Jin. Despite wide scale hostility against him, the first challenges at his autocratic rule came not from various minority groups, but some ambitious Han officers under his command. Palpatin would say it was ironic.  In May of 1929 the Taoyin of Altai attempted a coup against Jin, but he was forewarned and able to confine the fighting to the Shara Sume area. In the spring of 1931 troubles broke out in Urumqi as discontented Han officers and soldiers attacked Jin's yamen. The attack failed, and the instigators of the plot were all executed. The same year, Jin annexed the Kumul Khanate, known to the Chinese as Hami, finally pushing the Turkic speaking Muslims into open rebellion. Going back in time, after Zuo Zengtangs reconquest of Xinjiang in the 1870s, a few local principalities were permitted to survive on a semi-autonomous basis. Of these Kumul was the most important and was ruled by a royal family dating back to the Ming Dynasty and descended from the Chaghatay Khans. The Khanate of Kumul dominated the chief road from Xinjiang to China proper and was therefore of strategic importance to the Chinese. It extended from Iwanquan northwards to the Barkul Tagh and along the mountains to Bai and south to Xingxingxia along the Xinjiang-Gansu border. During the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, Maqsud Shah was sitting on the throne of Kumul. He was known to the Chinese as the Hami Wang, to his subjects as Khan Maqsud or Sultan Maqsud and to Europeans as the King of the Gobi. He was the last independent Khan of Central Asia as the rest were tossing their lot in with the progress of the times. During Yangs regime he was content with allowing Kumul to train its semi autonomous status, mostly because Maqsud Shah was very friendly towards the Chinese. He spoke Turkic with a marked Chinese accent and wore Chinese clothes. On the other hand he had a long whit beard and always wore a turban or Uyghur cap. He was a staunch Muslim ruling a petty oasis kingdom from an ancient and ramshackle palace in Kumul proper, one of three towns making up the capital of Kumul, known to the Chinese as Huicheng. He had a bodyguard consisting of 40 Chinese soldiers armed with mausers and had a Chinese garrison billeted in fortified Chinese town. The third city in his domain was known as New City or Xincheng, populated by a mix of Chinese and Turkic peoples. By 1928, shortly after the assassination of Yang, it was estimated Maqsud Shah ruled over roughly 25,000-30,000 Kumulliks. He was responsible for levying taxes, dispensing justice and so forth. His administration rested upon 21 Begs, 4 of whom were responsible for Kumul itself, 5 others over plains villages and the other 12 over mountain regions of Barkul and Karlik Tagh. Maqsud Shah also maintained a Uyghur militia who had a reputation as being better trained than its Chinese counterpart at Old City. Throughout Yangs regime, Kumul remained relatively peaceful and prosperous. Maqsud Shah paid a small annual tribute to Urumqi and in return the Xinjiang government paid him a formal subsidy of 1200 silver taels a year. Basically this was Yang paying for the Sultans compliance when it came to moving through his strategic Khanate. For the Uyghurs of Kumul, they were free from the typical persecution under Chinese officials. The only tax paid by citizens of Kumul was in livestock, generally sheep or goats, given annually to the Khan. The soil of the oasis was rich and well cultivated. Everything was pretty fine and dandy under Yang, but now was the time of Jin. In March of 1930, Maqsud Shah died of old age. His eldest son Nasir should have inherited the throne of Kumul, but Jin and his Han subordinates stationed in Kumul Old City had other plans. Shortly after Maqsud Shah's death, Nasir traveled to Urumqi, most likely to legitimize his rise upon the throne. Nasir was not very popular amongst his people, thus it seemed he needed Jin's aid to bolster him. However there also was the story that it was Jin who ordered Nasir to come to Urumqi to perform a formal submission. Now at the time of Maqsud Shah's death, Li Xizeng, a Han Chinese divisional commander stationed in Kumul suggested to Jin that the Khanate should be abolished and annexed officially. There was of course a great rationale for this, if Jin took control over Kumul it would offer increased revenue and new positions for his Han Chinese officials. Thus Jin ordered a resolution be drawn up by his ministers to abolish the Khanate, dividing Kumul into three separate administrative districts, Hami centered around the capital, I-ho and I-wu. When Nasir arrived in Urumqi he was given the new position of Senior Advisor to the provincial government, but forbidden to return to Kumul. Basically it was the age old government via hostage taking. Meanwhile another official named Yulbars was sent back to Kumul with a group of Chinese officials to set up the new administration.  While the people of Kumul had no love for Nasir and were taxed pretty heavily by his father, this did not mean that they wanted the Khanate to end. For the Turkic Muslims the Khanate held a religious significance. For Uyghurs there was a question of national pride associated with it. Of course there were economic issues. Within Xinjiang Han were allowed to settle, but in the Khanate there were restrictions. In the words of the Nanjing Wu Aichen on the situation “subject peoples obstinately prefer self-government to good government”. Well Jin's government was definitely not good, so what outcome does that give? The newly appointed Han administration upset the people of Kumul from the very minute of its installation. When it was announced the privilege of being except from direct taxation by Urumqi was to be abolished, ompf. To add insult to injury, one years arrears of taxes were to be collected from the Uyghurs. On top of that, Kumul was tossed wide open to Han settlers who were incentivized to settle by giving them a tax exemption for two years. Yeah that be some wild policies. To add even more misery, Kumul being situated on the chief road from northwestern Gansu to Xinjiang saw an enormous flow of refugees from famine and warfare going on in Gansu. A column of these refugees were seen by Berger Bohlin of the Sino-Swedish Expedition of 1931. His account is as follows “During my stay at Hua-hai-tze I witnessed a curious spectacle. The Chen-fan region had for a number of years been visited by failure of the crops and famine, and large numbers of people therefore emigrated to more prosperous tracts. Such an emigration-wave now passed Hua-hai-tze. It consisted of a caravan of 100 camels, transporting 150 persons with all their baggage to Sinkiang, where it was said that land was being thrown open”. It seemed to Bohlin that the refugees looked carefree and happy and that the ruler of Xinjiang, Jin Shujen, a Gansu man himself was enthusiastic to have them come settle his province. Jin had his official in charge of I-ho district Lung Xulin provide land for the would-be settlers coming from Gansu. Lung Xulin responded by forcing his Uyghur population to leave their cultivated land and simply handed it over to the refugees. The expropriated Uyghurs were compensated for their land by being given untilled lands on the fringe of the desert where most soil was barren. The Uyghurs were also assessed for their land tax based on their old holdings. To make this even worse hear this, untilled land was exempt from taxation for two years, so they didn't even get that, while the Gansu refugees were excused from tax payments for three years. So yeah the Kumul people quickly organized a petition and sent it to the yamen in Urumqi. There was zero acknowledgement from the yamen it was received and nothing was done to address the long list of grievances, especially from the Uyghurs. Instead the Gansu settlers kept flooding in and with them the price of food skyrocketed, largely because of the enormous amount of provincial troops sent in to watch over everybody. Now for the moment the Turkic speaking Muslims in the region remained relatively peaceful, and this perhaps lulled Jin into a false sense of security. But according to Sven Hedin of the Sino-Swedish Expedition “Discontent increased; the people clenched their teeth and bided their time; the atmosphere was tense and gloomy. Inflammable matter accumulated, and only a spark was needed to fire the powder magazine.”  I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

The NLS annotation follows: A calamity of souls DB120798 Author: Baldacci, David Reading Time: 14 hours, 31 minutes Read by: Kiiri Sandy, Sisi Aisha Johnson, David Baldacci, Cary Hite, MacLeod Andrews Subjects: Suspense Fiction, Legal Fiction “Set in the tumultuous year of 1968 in southern Virginia, a racially-charged murder case sets a duo of white and Black lawyers against a deeply unfair system as they work to defend their wrongfully-accused Black defendants in this courtroom drama from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci. Jack Lee is a white lawyer from Freeman County, Virginia, who has never done anything to push back against racism, until he decides to represent Jerome Washington, a Black man charged with brutally killing an elderly and wealthy white couple. Doubting his decision, Lee fears that his legal skills may not be enough to prevail in a case where the odds are already stacked against both him and his client. And he quickly finds himself out of his depth when he realizes that what is at stake is far greater than the outcome of a murder trial. Desiree DuBose is a Black lawyer from Chicago who has devoted her life to furthering the causes of justice and equality for everyone. She comes to Freeman County and enters a fractious and unwieldy partnership with Lee in a legal battle against the best prosecutor in the Commonwealth. Yet DuBose is also aware that powerful outside forces are at work to blunt the victories achieved by the Civil Rights era. Lee and DuBose could not be more dissimilar. On their own, neither one can stop the prosecutions deliberate march towards a guilty verdict and the electric chair. But together, the pair fight for what once seemed impossible: a chance for a fair trial and true justice. Over a decade in the writing, A Calamity of Souls breathes richly imagined and detailed life into a bygone era, taking the reader through a world that will seem both foreign and familiar.”– OCLC.

Based at the Carter School, their mission is ‘to reflect on and experiment with the kinds of stories that define our lives and empower our imaginations'. Their work has been particularly focused on the ways in which storytelling can help drive conflict transformation and enhance our futures thinking – so it goes to the heart of what the Visualising War and Peace project is interested in: the feedback loop between narrative and reality, which can sometimes drive conflict but can also be harnessed for positive social and political change. As they put it on their website: ‘At TNT Lab, we believe that the only way to change the world is to understand its most abusive stories in order to reshape them and to understand its most hopeful stories in order to harness their transformative power.' Solon Simmons is a Professor of Conflict Analysis and Resolution at the Carter School at George Mason University, in Virginia in the US. He is the author of Root Narrative Theory and Conflict Resolution (Routledge, 2020) and the newly published Narrating Peace: How to Tell a Conflict Story (available from Aug 2024), among many other publications. At the Carter School, he teaches classes on conflict theory, narrative, media, discourse and conflict, human rights, quantitative and qualitative methodology, global conflict, and critical theory.Audrey Williams earned a Master of Science degree in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from the Carter School and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and French from the University of Iowa. She was a 2015–16 Fulbright Research Fellow in Ankara, Turkey, and a Fall 2013 Scoville Peace Fellow at the Stimson Center in Washington, DC. She is now a PhD candidate in Conflict Analysis and Resolution at the Carter School, and her dissertation focuses on the role of narrative and musical craft in conflict transformation.During the podcast, Solon and Audrey discuss their mixed methods approach, which blends Social Science and Humanities methodologies. They reflect on 'the narrative turn' in peace and conflict studies, the importance of attending to the craft side of storytelling, and their hope that TNT Lab's research and resources will help both academics and storytelling practitioners (in many different media) to de-code the rhetorical structures and subtexts of other people's stories and curate their own to forge positive change. We hope you find the discussion interesting. For a version of our podcast with close captions, please use this link.

First off, welcome back - to us all! Glad to be recording again. This season will be all about confirmation bias and the many ways it can get in the way of writing accurate life stories. My focus has been on FamilySearch in the past few years, so we'll be talking about writing those Brief Life Histories there.This episode is about a specific search for answers about my great-granduncle, Harley Walker Bowers, his first wife Ethel Adaline McKinney, and her second husband, Solon Beecher Selleck. I expected to find out that Harley was a hound (he DID have three wives), that Ethel was a victim, and that Solon was her answer to prayer.Not so much.Listen as I detail discoveries that challenged all of my expectations, and rewrote this triangle of intertwined lives.

Coach Serrata commended his team's performance, highlighting their exceptional defense and effective pitching. Ben Garvin delivered a standout performance on the mound, pitching five and a third shutout innings, while Landon Putman came in to seal the win. Owen Hassel's impressive all-around game, including key hits and stolen bases, played a crucial role in the Beavers' success. Despite facing a talented Tipton team that had been playing well in the postseason, the Beavers' defense held strong, with notable contributions from players like Case and Reed in right field. The Wilton community showed robust support, creating an electrifying atmosphere for the home game. Looking ahead, the Beavers will face Cascade in Solon for a chance to advance to the state tournament. With a 20-win season and a strong finish, Wilton is poised for a deep playoff run.

Timaeus by Plato audiobook. 'Our intention is, that Timaeus, who is the most of an astronomer amongst us, and has made the nature of the universe his special study, should speak first, beginning with the generation of the world and going down to the creation of man...' 'Timaeus' is usually regarded as one of Plato's later dialogues, and provides an account of the creation of the universe, with physical, metaphysical and ethical dimensions, which had great influence over philosophers for centuries following. It attributes the order and beauty of the universe to a benevolent demiurge - a 'craftsman' or god - fashioning the physical world after the pattern of an ideal, eternal one. The dramatic setting of the dialogue is the day after a discussion in which Socrates has described his ideal state - as in the 'Republic'. A conversation between Socrates, Critias, Hermocrates and Timaeus, including Critias' account of Solon's journey to Egypt (where he hears the story of Atlantis), soon gives way to the monologue by Timaeus that forms the bulk of the work. 'Timaeus' is translated by Benjamin Jowett and his comprehensive introduction to and analysis of the work precedes the text itself, which he describes as 'the growth of an age in which philosophy is not wholly separated from poetry and mythology'.

El Protocolo Autoinmune Paleo (AIP, por sus siglas en inglés) es una dieta y estilo de vida diseñados para ayudar a reducir la inflamación, aliviar los síntomas de enfermedades autoinmunes, y promover la recuperación del cuerpo. Se basa en la premisa de que ciertos alimentos pueden actuar como desencadenantes para personas con condiciones autoinmunes, causando inflamación y exacerbando los síntomas de estas enfermedades. El AIP es una extensión más estricta de la dieta Paleo, con una fase de eliminación y una fase de reintroducción de alimentos.Fase de EliminaciónEsta fase es altamente restrictiva y elimina varios grupos de alimentos potencialmente problemáticos durante un período de tiempo (generalmente se recomiendan al menos 30 días), tales como:Granos y legumbres: Esto incluye tanto los granos sin gluten como el trigo, el maíz, el arroz, y las legumbres, incluidos los frijoles y cacahuetes.Lácteos: Todos los productos lácteos están excluidos en esta fase.Huevos: Tanto las claras como las yemas de huevo se eliminan.Nueces y semillas: Esto incluye todas las nueces, semillas y sus derivados, como aceites o harinas.Solonáceas: Vegetales como tomates, papas (excepto camotes), berenjenas, y pimientos se eliminan debido a su contenido de alcaloides.Alcohol y azúcares refinados: Todos los tipos de alcohol y azúcares procesados están prohibidos.Aditivos alimentarios: Conservantes, colorantes artificiales, y emulsionantes también se eliminan.Aceites refinados y procesados: Solo se permiten aceites no procesados como el aceite de oliva extra virgen.Fase de ReintroducciónDespués de la fase de eliminación, se reintroducen gradualmente los alimentos eliminados, uno a la vez, para monitorear las reacciones y determinar cuáles pueden ser tolerados. Este proceso ayuda a identificar los alimentos que son seguros para el individuo y aquellos que deben evitarse a largo plazo.Objetivo y BeneficiosEl objetivo del Protocolo AIP es identificar los alimentos que desencadenan la inflamación y los síntomas de enfermedades autoinmunes, para así crear una dieta personalizada que promueva la salud y el bienestar del individuo. Entre los beneficios reportados por quienes siguen el AIP se incluyen la reducción de la inflamación, mejora de los síntomas de enfermedades autoinmunes, mejor digestión, y una mayor energía.ConsideracionesEs importante notar que el Protocolo AIP puede ser muy restrictivo y puede ser desafiante de seguir a largo plazo. Además, antes de comenzar el AIP o cualquier cambio significativo en la dieta y el estilo de vida, se recomienda consultar a un profesional de la salud, como un médico o dietista, especialmente para personas con condiciones de salud existentes.

This week Ryan Seven returns with some intriguing new research regarding Plato's story of Atlantis. What did the Old Master encode within his legendary narrative? Find Ryan here YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/BrotherBones1111   From the web: The original account of Atlantis comes from two of Plato's dialogues: “Timaeus” and “Critias”. These dialogues were written around 360 BCE. Plato crafted these dialogues as a festival speech to be delivered during the Panathenaea, in honour of the goddess Athena. In the dialogues, Socrates asks three men to share stories about ancient Athens and its interactions with other states. Critias, one of these men, recounts a tale passed down from his grandfather, who had met the Athenian poet and lawgiver Solon during his travels to Egypt. According to the Egyptians (as relayed by Solon), there once existed a mighty empire called Atlantis. It was situated on an island in the Atlantic Ocean and ruled over other islands and parts of Africa and Europe. The city of Atlantis was meticulously designed, with concentric rings of alternating water and land. It boasted rich soil, advanced engineering, extravagant architecture, and organised military and civil administration. Their rituals paralleled those of Athens, including bull-baiting, sacrifice, and prayer. However, Atlantis became imperialistic and waged an unprovoked war against the rest of Asia and Europe. In this conflict, the much smaller city-state of Athens stood as the sole defender against the invading Atlantean forces. Against all odds, Athens triumphed, defeating Atlantis and preventing enslavement. After the battle, violent earthquakes and floods struck, causing Atlantis to sink into the sea. All the Athenian warriors were swallowed up by the earth.   In Ancient Greece, psychedelic mushrooms played a significant role in religious and spiritual practices. The Eleusinian Mysteries were celebrated in honour of the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone. These mysteries were regarded as the most sacred of all the rituals in Ancient Greek religion. Ancient pottery and paintings depict Persephone and Demeter holding mushrooms. These depictions suggest that the use of psychedelic mushrooms was well-known during ancient Greek times. While the exact details of the Eleusinian Mysteries remain shrouded in secrecy, it is clear that psychedelics played a crucial role in these sacred rituals.   Plato, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, was indeed initiated into the Greater Mysteries. This initiation occurred when he was 49 years old, and it took place in one of the subterranean halls of the Great Pyramid in Egypt.  Plato himself acknowledged the significance of these mysteries. In his famous dialogue on the immortality of the soul, the “Phaedo”, he stated: “Our mysteries had a very real meaning: he that has been purified and initiated shall dwell with the gods” . #atlantis #lostcivilisation #plato _______________________________ Follow us here: https://allmylinks.com/the-amish-inquisition Signup for the newsletter, join the community, follow us online, and most importantly share links!  Producer Credits for Ep 321: TBC _______________________________ Leave us a voicemail: 07562245894 Message us here....follow, like, subscribe and share.

This week Ryan Seven returns with some intriguing new research regarding Plato's story of Atlantis. What did the Old Master encode within his legendary narrative? Find Ryan here YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/BrotherBones1111   From the web: The original account of Atlantis comes from two of Plato's dialogues: “Timaeus” and “Critias”. These dialogues were written around 360 BCE. Plato crafted these dialogues as a festival speech to be delivered during the Panathenaea, in honour of the goddess Athena. In the dialogues, Socrates asks three men to share stories about ancient Athens and its interactions with other states. Critias, one of these men, recounts a tale passed down from his grandfather, who had met the Athenian poet and lawgiver Solon during his travels to Egypt. According to the Egyptians (as relayed by Solon), there once existed a mighty empire called Atlantis.
