Podcasts about Spanish War

The 3rd Marquess of Santa Cruz de Marcenado (1684–1732), soldier, diplomat and scholar, pioneered humanist ways to prevent or suppress insurgencies in his Military Reflections. In his time, Marcenado was the most widely read Spanish author on war. He drew on his own rich experiences of the Spanish War of Succession to complement his erudition based on existing publications from antiquity to the Age of Enlightenment. In a work comprising 11 volumes, he examined subjects ranging from the ethical question of whether it is right to go to war, to the leadership qualities required in a general, to the merits and dangers of battle or the recruitment of soldiers. Intended as guidance for practitioners, his work set standards in both erudition and the human approach to war. This applies particularly to his thoughts on how to prevent, contain or pacify insurgencies. Marcenado was also a diplomat charged with negotiating on behalf of his kingdom to end the Anglo-Spanish War of 1727. His writing on war thus transcends the merely military, and the greater political dimension behind it can already be discerned. Dr Pelayo Fernández García of the University of Oviedo – our guest for this episode – is the greatest living expert on this Spanish thinker and practitioner, whose ideas are strikingly modern even for our times.

Links: Tucker talks to Vlad about the role of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. They must have been listening to Purcell and O'Leary … https://x.com/TCNetwork/status/1755748344465342565?s=20 O'Leary side project (Natural Order Podcast) breaks down the entire Tucker-Vlad interview… https://naturalorderpodcast.com/ep18/ Possible definitions of “petrodollar” Revenues from petroleum exports. Dollars paid to oil-producing nations (petrodollar recycling). The currency of oil-producing nations usually fluctuates with the price of oil. E.g.s when the price of oil rises, the currency has more value. Vice-versa … when the price of oil falls, the currency's value drops. Thus, Petrodollar/Petrocurrency? The pricing of oil in US dollars: currencies used as a unit of account to price oil in the international market. Zoltan Pozsar – Hungarian-American “shadow banker” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoltan_Pozsar Moscow Gold https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_gold_(Spain) In the first year of the Spanish Civil War, the New York Times reported on August 7, 1936, that Spanish gold reserves (held in Madrid) were the equivalent of $718 million (US), which was the equivalent to $15.14 billion in 2022 USD. Reports range from 72.6% to upwards of 90% of Spanish gold reserves were given to the USSR months after the outbreak of the civil war. The communist-backed government of the Second Spanish Republic under Francisco Largo Caballero either sold the gold to the Soviets or placed the reserves in Moscow for the Soviets to act as custodians. Well, that was a bad move. Largo Caballero and his Republican cause were eventually defeated by the Nationalist side and Spain was left broke, for most if not all of the remaining gold reserves were sold to France for currency. In the context of the Spanish War, the gold the Soviets ended up with (ostensibly to caretake or use for deposit on future munitions) is known as “Moscow Gold.” The gold taken in by the French is called the “Paris Gold.”   King Juan Carlos I of Spainhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_I There is speculation that Spain stayed out of the western oil embargo during the 1970s because of the then-prince and future-king's business dealings with the Arab oil merchants.Juan Carlos abdicated the Spanish throne in 2014 and as of 2020, he now makes the United Arab Emirates his permanent residence.

HEALTH CRISIS IN THE PRESIDENCY: 7/8: The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America by  Victor Davis Hanson https://www.amazon.com/Dying-Citizen-Progressive-Globalization-Destroying/dp/154164753X In The Dying Citizen, Hanson outlines the historical forces that led to this crisis. The evisceration of the middle class over the last fifty years has made many Americans dependent on the federal government. Open borders have undermined the idea of allegiance to a particular place.

In Episode 158 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg notes that the Russian Socialist Movement has issued a call for solidarity actions with anti‑war activists in Russia on Jan. 19. This is the date when left activists Stanislav Markelov and Anastasia Baburova were gunned down by far-right militants in Moscow in 2009. Today, the Vladimir Putin regime is persecuting activists such as Alexandra Skochilenko—who faces a long prison term for producing public art on an anti-war theme. Instead of responding to this call for solidarity, the ANSWER Coalition and other exponents of the "tankie" pseudo-left have called a rally against aid to Ukraine, and implicitly in support of Putin and his war aims, for Jan. 14 in locations such as New York's Times Square—perversely, in the name of Martin Luther King. The Ukraine Socialist Solidarity Campaign repudiates this pseudo-anti-war rally, urging: "No exploitation of Dr. MLK Jr. to support war criminal Putin!" Debunking the Russian propaganda that portrays Putin's aggression as a defensive move against NATO encroachment, Weinberg demonstrates that the principles propounded by Dr. King in his courageous dissent from LBJ's criminal war in Vietnam now mandate that we direct our protests at Vladimir Putin. Speeches and essays discussed: "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break the Silence" by MLK, 1967; "The Social Organization of Nonviolence" by MLK, 1959; "My Pilgrimage to Nonviolence" by MLK, 1958; "The Doctrine of the Sword," by MK Gandhi, 1920; "Looking Back on the Spanish War" by George Orwell, 1942; "I'm a Ukrainian Socialist.

The Brian D. O'Leary Show November 17, 2022   We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we've been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War. Continuing the discussion from earlier in the week, we reference an article in this month's Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. The Myth of the Spanish Civil War. One of the last great leftist myths of the 20th century is that the Spanish Civil War was a struggle of republican democracy against nationalist fascism. In reality, it was a violent mass-collectivist revolution put down by Spanish moderates and conservatives. By Stanley G. Payne We've been told that the major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that's not at all what the war was about. We will put a bookmark in our discussion of the Spanish War on Friday and introduce a new topic next week. I hope to have more resources of what we talked about this week soon enough. We will publish a newsletter in the next few days on this subject, so if you are looking to delve into this subject deeper, remember to join us at my Substack page: https://briandoleary.substack.com/ Go to https://chroniclesmagazine.org/ for the articles.

The Brian D. O'Leary Show November 17, 2022   We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we've been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War. Continuing the discussion from yesterday's show, we reference an article in this month's Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. The Myth of the Spanish Civil War. One of the last great leftist myths of the 20th century is that the Spanish Civil War was a struggle of republican democracy against nationalist fascism. In reality, it was a violent mass-collectivist revolution put down by Spanish moderates and conservatives. By Stanley G. Payne We've been told that the major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that's not at all what the war was about. Today we talk more about fascism and how it may be defined. We reference books by Paul E. Gottfried (Fascism: The Career of a Concept) and Stanley G. Payne (Fascism: Comparison and Definition & Franco and Hitler: Spain, Germany, and World War II). Professor Payne wrote the article we've been talking about all week. Professor Gottfried is the editor-in-chief of Chronicles. We will put a bookmark in our discussion of the Spanish War on Friday and introduce a new topic next week.

The Brian D. O'Leary Show November 16, 2022   We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we've been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War. Longer show than normal today, clocking in right around 40 minutes. We like to have these daily shows a bit shorter…at 20-30 minutes, but we went overtime today. Please accept the apologies of the staff and enjoy the show in the meantime. Continuing the discussion from yesterday's show, we reference an article in this month's Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. The major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that's not at all what the war was about. Today we dive into what fascism is and what it is not. We also delve into the topic of “antifascism” so-called. The rest of this week will be devoted to analysis of this article and will get into some parallels we see between the lead-up to the Spanish War and our culture today. It is analogous, but certainly not one-for-one. Go to https://chroniclesmagazine.org/ for the articles.

The Brian D. O'Leary Show November 15, 2022   This is the second show of the second week in our new daily podcast.  We've shelved the idea of livestreaming these shows…for the time being. Brian will talk about that on a future episode…logistically it works better for everyone at this point to do a podcast without a live element. That may change in the future. We welcome feedback from our listeners on this as well. One of the beautiful things about podcasting is that it is NOT live… It's not radio, it's podcasting.

The Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604) was an intermittent conflict between the Kingdoms of Spain and England. The conflict included much English privateering against Spanish treasure ships in the New World, and several major sea battles including the Spanish Armada in 1588 which influenced the subsequent exploration, commercialization, settlement and colonization of North America.

A groundbreaking journey tracing America's forgotten path to global power—and how its legacies shape our world today—told through the extraordinary life of a complicated Marine. Smedley Butler was the most celebrated warfighter of his time. Bestselling books were written about him. Hollywood adored him. Wherever the flag went, “The Fighting Quaker” went—serving in nearly every major overseas conflict from the Spanish War of 1898 until the eve of World War II. From his first days as a 16-year-old recruit at the newly seized Guantánamo Bay, he blazed a path for empire: helping annex the Philippines and the land for the Panama Canal, leading troops in China (twice), and helping invade and occupy Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Mexico, and more. Yet in retirement, Butler turned into a warrior against war, imperialism, and big business, declaring: “I was a racketeer for capitalism." Award-winning author Jonathan Myerson Katz traveled across the world—from China to Guantánamo, the mountains of Haiti to the Panama Canal—and pored over the personal letters of Butler, his fellow Marines, and his Quaker family on Philadelphia's Main Line. Along the way, Katz shows how the consequences of the Marines' actions are still very much alive: talking politics with a Sandinista commander in Nicaragua, getting a martial arts lesson from a devotee of the Boxer Rebellion in China, and getting cast as a P.O.W. extra in a Filipino movie about their American War. Tracing a path from the first wave of U.S. overseas expansionism to the rise of fascism in the 1930s to the crises of democracy in our own time, Gangsters of Capitalism tells an urgent story about a formative era most Americans have never learned about, but that the rest of the world cannot forget.

The famous Spanish Armada of 1588 was only one of several battles in the Anglo-Spanish War of 1585-1604. Elizabeth hoped to take advantage of her victory by striking another blow to the Spanish fleet but in truth her own forces were exhausted. The conflict continued for several more years, and became embroiled in continental affairs; the Dutch Revolt and rise of Henry IV of France. Finally, I look at the legacies of Philip II of Spain and Elizabeth I of England See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

That the Roman leader Gaius Julius Caesar is so well remembered today for his achievements as a general is largely due to his skills as a writer. In The Landmark Julius Caesar: The Complete Works (Pantheon, 2017), the distinguished classics scholar Kurt Raaflaub provides readers with a new translation of the collection of writings known as the Corpus Caesarianum, which he supplements with footnotes, maps, and images designed to make Caesar's writings accessible for the modern-day reader. Raaflaub situates the books within the context of Caesar's life, explaining how the first and most famous of them, the Gallic War, was a political tool designed to bolster Caesar's stature back in Rome. In the aftermath of the civil wars that followed his crossing of the Rubicon in 49 BCE, Caesar wrote his follow-up Civil War, which was largely complete when he was assassinated five years later. Though Caesar died before writing the later works attributed to his authorship, Raaflaub presents them as extensions of Caesar's labors, with the Alexandrian War written from his notes and early materials he drafted, and the African War and the Spanish War authored by men who served in both campaigns and who were firsthand witnesses to them.

In the aftermath of the civil wars that followed his crossing of the Rubicon in 49 BCE, Caesar wrote his follow-up Civil War, which was largely complete when he was assassinated five years later. Though Caesar died before writing the later works attributed to his authorship, Raaflaub presents them as extensions of Caesar’s labors, with the Alexandrian War written from his notes and early materials he drafted, and the African War and the Spanish War authored by men who served in both campaigns and who were firsthand witnesses to them.

That the Roman leader Gaius Julius Caesar is so well remembered today for his achievements as a general is largely due to his skills as a writer.

With the 24-hour news media, countless blogs and videos, and near-infinite social media commentary, there’s a lot of noise out there. As a society, we are all struggling to combat disinformation, or “fake news,” and get at the truth. Of course, that’s easier said than done. Joined by guest Jon Miltimore, the FEEcasters discuss how to combat fake news and how constant advisories on everything from romaine lettuce to FBI Russia investigations begin to lose their sense of importance.

For years, biographers have been fascinated by the Mitfords, a quiet aristocratic British family with six beautiful daughters, nearly all of them famous for their controversial and stylish lives. There's Nancy, the novelist who had a love affair with Charles de Gaulle's Chief-of Staff; Pamela, the only sister who opted for a quiet life; Diana, the family beauty who married a Guinness then ditched him in favor of the founder of the British Union of Fascists; Unity, who had a crush on Hitler and unsuccessfully attempted to kill herself on the eve of World War II; Jessica, who eloped with a Communist at the age of 17; and Deborah, who married the Duke of Devonshire. In Leslie Brody‘s Irrepressible (Counterpoint Press, 2010), it's Jessica Mitford–known throughout her life as Decca– who, at long last, has the chance to shine. She was a rebel almost from infancy. As Brody writes, “Soon after Jessica Mitford moved with her family to Swinbrook House in Oxfordshire, she began to plot her escape from it.” Her escape was spectacular, to be sure. As a teenager, she eloped with Winston Churchill's nephew and ran off to the Spanish War. The couple eventually settled in America, where Mitford would remain after his death, later remarrying and becoming a journalist. Ultimately, she would be most famous for her expose of the American funeral industry, which was published in 1963 as The American Way of Death, but her work on civil rights and social justice was equally influential. Throughout Irrepressible, Brody includes direct quotes that let Mitford's unique perspective shine through. And, as a white British woman with Communist leanings, Jessica Mitford provides a view of America- a country with an independent streak as fierce as her own- unlike that of any other. She was a “muckraker” in the truest and best sense of the word. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
