The Collapse of Germany (Part 2) Black Spy Podcast number 251, Season 25, Episode 0009 In last week's and this week's incisive episodes of the Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King delivers a hard-hitting geopolitical assessment of Germany's present day collapse from its position of the undisputed economic powerhouse of the European continent as a result of Germany's action to aid the Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Carlton examines the growing militarism of Germany, its Intelligence Reconnaissance Surveillance (IRS) support to the Ukraine to strike Russian cities including Moscow and St Petersburg as well as building German forces to a level not seen since the Third Reich. Carlton argues that this military build-up threatens much of the world and particularly ordinary European citizens and many of Europe's nationalist political elites. Carlton asks why German politicians allowed their economy to be destroyed, explaining the relevance of who destroyed the Nordstream pipeline in this vain. Nordstream providing Germany with an abundance of extremely cheap energy, Additionally, Carlton asks if German politicians have been compromised by compromat material as the US NSA was listening into (eavesdropping) on German politicians including Angela Merkel for over a decade. Along with this situation Carlton exhaustively assesses why Germany is collapsing. So listen now to The Black Spy Podcast and be entertained whilst simultaneously learning.

Explosionen und dichter Rauch durch ukrainische Drohnen in Sankt Petersburg – kurz vor dem Start des Wirtschaftsforums, einem für Präsident Putin sehr wichtigen Termin. Gleichzeitig stockt die russische Offensive an der Front. Die Ukraine zeigt in den letzten Wochen Stärke und offenbart die Schwächen Russlands. Entsteht dadurch gerade eine mögliche Grundlage für echte Verhandlungen? Zumindest steigt der Druck auf Putin, das beobachtet ARD-Korrespondent Florian Kellermann in Kiew, der vorher jahrelang aus Moskau berichtet hat. In dieser Folge erzählt er, wie die Menschen in Russland und den besetzten Gebieten den Krieg immer mehr zu spüren bekommen und wie sich auch im russischen Staatsfernsehen der Ton ändert und was das bedeutet. Alle Nachrichten zum russischen Angriffskrieg in der Ukraine findet ihr auf der Themenseite der Tagesschau: https://www.tagesschau.de/thema/ukraine In dieser früheren 11KM-Folge „Ukraine: Mit neuem Selbstbewusstsein gegen Russland“ schauen wir mit ARD-Korrespondentin Rebecca Barth auf die Front – und klären, wie sich die Ukraine einen Vorteil gegenüber Russland erarbeiten konnte: https://1.ard.de/11KM_Ukraine_Selbstbewusstsein Hier geht's zu „Was tun, Herr General?“, unserem Podcast-Tipp: https://1.ard.de/general Diese und viele weitere Folgen von 11KM findet ihr überall da, wo es Podcasts gibt, auch hier in ARD Sounds: https://www.ardsounds.de/sendung/11km-der-tagesschau-podcast/urn:ard:show:4549910994dc2464/ An dieser Folge waren beteiligt: Folgenautor: Jonas Helm Mitarbeit: Niklas Münch, Nicole Dienemann Host: Nadja Mitzkat Produktion: Theo Weiß, Konrad Winkler, Hanna Brünjes, Jürgen Kopp Planung: Laura Stuhlmacher, Nicole Dienemann und Hardy Funk Distribution: Kerstin Ammermann Redaktionsleitung: Yasemin Yüksel und Fumiko Lipp 11KM: der tagesschau-Podcast wird produziert von BR24 und NDR Info.

The men's football World Cup begins this week in the US, Mexico and Canada. With matches being played in three different time zones, it presents an unprecedented challenge for the media. Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of BBC Sport, Craig Hope, Chief Football Reporter at the Daily Mail, and Daniel Storey, Chief Football Writer at The i, set out their plans.Violent disorder on the streets in Belfast has followed a knife attack earlier this week, with a Sudanese man who was granted refugee status in the UK in 2023 charged with attempted murder. Dan Johnson, BBC News correspondent, explains the challenge for journalists reporting from the ground.Russia's economic forum in St Petersburg earlier this month played host to several Western social media stars. Influencers are now part of the messaging strategy for governments around the world. Samantha Berkhead, Editor of The Moscow Times, and Evie Aspinall, Director of the British Foreign Policy Group, discuss the reasons.

Artificial intelligence can generate outlines, summaries, illustrations, and sermon-like content in seconds. But should preachers use it? And if so, how?In this episode of the Expositors Collective podcast, Mike Neglia hosts a live panel discussion with Bob Franquiz, Pilgrim Benham, Ryan Marr, and Alan Stoddard on AI, ChatGPT, pastoral integrity, and the future of sermon preparation.Rather than simply asking whether AI can save time, the panel presses into deeper questions. What happens to the preacher when the work of sermon preparation is delegated to a machine? Can technology glorify God, or can it train us to depend less on prayer, study, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit? Where might AI serve as a limited tool, and where does it become a dangerous substitute?Pilgrim Benham reflects on the moral weight of technology and warns against treating tools as spiritually neutral. Ryan Marr offers a thoughtful, contrarian perspective on the formative effects of AI in the life of the preacher. Bob Franquiz speaks to the limits of ChatGPT, reminding listeners that AI can generate words quickly, but it cannot pastor people, carry a burden, or replace the preacher's communion with God in the text. Mike Neglia also suggests a narrow and cautious way AI might be used after a sermon draft is mostly complete, as a tool for clarification rather than creation.The central concern of this conversation is not fear of technology, but faithfulness in ministry. Preachers are called to study, pray, think, shepherd, and proclaim. AI may assist with certain tasks, but it cannot replace the spiritual and pastoral work of preaching.This conversation was recorded at an Expositors Collective preacher training event in St Petersburg, Florida.As a sidebar, the panel also ends with discussion on mentoring relationships, spotting future leaders, "overpreparing" early in ministry, the value of reading while you are young, and the difficult question every preacher faces: how do you know when a sermon is actually done?Featured guestsBob Franquiz is the Founding and Senior Pastor of Calvary Fellowship in Miramar, Florida. He is the author of seven books, including Pull: Making Your Church Magnetic and Begin: First Steps for the Journey of Faith. Before entering pastoral ministry, Bob played guitar for the Christian hardcore band Strongarm, often regarded as one of the most influential Christian metal bands of its era. Prior to planting Calvary Fellowship, he served as an assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. Bob holds a Ph.D. in Bible Exposition from Liberty University and a master's degree in theological studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He and his wife, Carey, have been married since 1997 and have three children: Mia, Alexander, and Olivia.Pilgrim Benham has planted churches and pastored since 2002. He is the Dean of Students at Calvary Chapel Bible College, an instructor, and serves on the pastoral team at WestChurch in Bradenton, Florida. Pilgrim loves equipping the saints and also does sermon coaching when not enjoying Florida's beaches.Ryan Marr is the Lead Pastor of Calvary Chapel St Petersburg, where he has served in pastoral ministry since 2004. He holds an M.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies from Western Seminary, and brings years of experience in preaching, leadership, and local church ministry.Dr Alan Stoddard is the lead pastor of Imagine Church in Granbury, Texas, and is part of the Expositors Collective leadership team.AI and the Preacher's Calling - Dr Paul Hoffman : https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Fsx7d2iGUXh2oUcQOnyYG?si=9157ccf1a9144cac The Perils and Possibilities of ChatGPT - Nick Cady and Mike Neglia: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2oTViQSw1a641dsMqfyMOO?si=6f3cc77c796d4174Connect:For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective
“The hyperreal is the real. The surreal is the real in The United States. We've reached that point. The absurd is the real. And so that's what I was trying to capture in the book.” — Ben Fountain Our absurdist-in-chief wants a $250 banknote with his face on it. But the satirist Ben Fountain gives the President something even more valuable. In his new novel Rasputin Swims the Potomac, Fountain delivers something quite priceless: a book that Trump deserves. In Fountain's novel, a sitting president, running for a third term, enlists a world champion professional wrestler, Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin, to help secure his re-election. Born Patrick Walsh Strickland in Buffalo, New York, Rasputin served in special forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, spent six years in a monastery, became fluent in Russian, and claims to be a real Russian monk. Evangelicals start defecting to Rasputin. A pandemic of “weeping sickness” sweeps the nation. It's almost as unbelievable as a sitting President wanting a $250 banknote glowing with his orange face. Fountain's parallels with late Tsarist Russia are hard to miss — the chasmic wealth inequality, the impossible get-rich schemes, the quack religions, the gilded decadence, the dying social classes, the mad politicians. It's scary stuff. Fountain says that we should even be careful taking his summer novel to the beach. Rather than Jaws-dropping, Rasputin Swims the Potomac, he warns, might bite us back. Maybe we should put Ben Fountain's face on that $250 bill. Five Takeaways • The Hyperreal Is the Real: America Has Beaten Its Satirists: When Fountain sat down to write the book in early 2023, he was thinking about the blurring of the line between reality and fantasy in American life. Trump, throughout his career, has blurred that line to masterful effect. Fountain's question: what would be the next step on that continuum? His answer: professional wrestling — famously fake, scripted, and yet real, happening in real flesh and blood. Suppose a wrestler ran for president as his wrestling persona, with the fake baked in and everyone knowing it's fake. Suppose the country buys it. Because the hyperreal is the real. The surreal is the real. America has already reached that point. • Why Wrestling, Not Politics: Jesse Ventura — “Jesse the Body” — ran for governor of Minnesota and won. But he ran as Jesse Ventura himself. Fountain's innovation: a wrestler who runs as his or her wrestling persona, with the character fully intact. Rasputin — born Patrick Walsh Strickland in Buffalo, special forces veteran, six years in a Russian monastery, world champion wrestler in Japan, legally changed name — never breaks character. He is the historical Rasputin, back from the dead, a holy man of the Russian Orthodox Church. Evangelicals start defecting to him because he's speaking their language. The fake is the real. • Late Tsarist Russia and Contemporary America: Striking Parallels: Fountain read three or four biographies of the historical Rasputin. The deeper he got, the more striking the parallels. Late Tsarist Russia: extreme wealth inequality, get-rich schemes everywhere in St Petersburg and Moscow, quack religions and spiritualists plying their trade, extreme decadence among the upper classes. A social structure that could not be maintained. People's emotional responses to chaos. Fountain: not just in material terms but in terms of how people were feeling, the parallels to the United States are really striking. Gogol, not Baudrillard, is his natural ancestor. • The Satirist as Realist: Andrew raises Baudrillard and hyper-realism. Fountain's response: he is a realist down to his bones. Whatever he does, it has to be anchored in some fundamental sense in the real world, as he understands it. American life has become such that the surreal is the real, the comical is the real, the absurd is the real. He didn't set out to write satire. He set out to write the story as genuinely and authentically as he could. The question of genre came afterwards, asked by other people. He is just a realist. It's just that American reality is Rasputin swimming the Potomac. • Living in the Belly of the Beast: Dallas and North Carolina: Fountain lived in Dallas, Texas for forty-one years — what he calls the most American city of all, better and worse. In Dallas, the free market and capitalism are so much a part of daily consciousness that there's very little awareness that there might be different ways of living. Fountain: it's very conservative and very conservative. For someone to the left of Gandhi, his assumptions are always being challenged. He has to think about how he's thinking about things. That productive discomfort — not Brooklyn, not Los Angeles — is where this book comes from.

Day 1,564.After Vladimir Putin rejects President Zelensky's offer in his letter last week of face to face talks, claiming he doesn't need a ceasefire as he's on the verge of victory – plot spoiler, he does and he isn't – the political momentum in support of Kyiv continues, with the leaders of Ukraine, France and Germany in London for talks hosted by Britain's Prime Minister. Then Putin suffers another blow with a victory for the west-leaning incumbent leader in Armenia's election and there are more attacks on Putin's home city of St Petersburg, his beloved Sochi, and on one of the main bridges to Crimea.Contributors:Dom Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: James EnglandSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Pete Hegseth has used a D-Day anniversary speech in northern France to criticise European nations for allowing what he described as an "invasion" on their shores. The US defence secretary said Europe's beaches were being ''stormed by migrants with dangerous ideologies.'' His comments mark a further criticism of European migration policy by senior members of the Trump administration. Also: Iran has accused the United States of violating its obligations as a World Cup host because of its refusal to grant visas to some staff travelling with the Iranian football team. Ukraine launches another major drone attack on the Russian city of St Petersburg. More foreign migrants are evacuated from South Africa following a surge in attacks on immigrants. A funeral is held for a seven-month-old Palestinian baby shot dead by an Israeli soldier in the occupied West Bank. People in Peru are voting in a highly polarized election to choose their ninth president in a decade. And the Russian tennis player Mirra Andreeva has won her first Grand Slam title at the French Open.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Ukraine's drone waves continue hitting Russia, last week targeting St Petersburg right as its annual 'Russian Davos' forum opened, Azerbaijani grain ships in the Sea of Azov, and the nuclear power plant in Zaporozhye. The Ukrainian puppet regime, egged on as ever by the Western Consortium that runs it, is feeling invincible, but its days are surely numbered. Meanwhile the American side of the 'US-rael partnership' is showing rare signs of unease over their pact, with anonymous Pentagon...

The strikes on the city were timed to coincide with the final day of a prestigious international economic forum. Russian authorities called the attack ‘unprecedented', and St Petersburg residents were advised to remain indoors for the first time since the start of the war. We hear from a Ukrainian drone commander and the UK's former Ambassador to Moscow, Sir Tony Brenton. Also on the programme: migrants in South Africa under pressure to leave the country after a surge in xenophobic attacks; and why mass banquets are causing controversy in France.

Anatol Lieven analyzes Ukrainian drone strikes on St. Petersburg, which damaged energy infrastructure and embarrassed the Kremlin during an economic forum. Lieven observes that the war has evolved into a "battle of drones," undermining Russia's imperial image and increasing internal pressure on Putin as his original strategic goals remain unfulfilled.
Day 1,561.Today, Adelie and Dom look at how Ukraine continues embarrassing Russia during its three-day International Economic Forum, as Zelensky publishes an open letter to Vladimir Putin where he points out Russia's weaknesses. He again asks the Russian president for a face-to-face meeting to bring the war to an end. As we record the episode, Putin is set to take the stage in St Petersburg. Then, we discuss China's increasing involvement enabling the occupation in the occupied territories and how the Ukrainian resistance may have contributed to Ukraine's successful mid-range campaign.Contributors:Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @adeliepjz on X.Dom Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Dr Jade McGlynn (Occupied Territories Expert, King's College London).Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Max BowerSocial Producer: Katie InglisStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

In this episode, Patrick and Roger dive into what has officially become the new reality: Ukraine has gained the upper hand in the war against Russia. We break down the stunning and deeply embarrassing Ukrainian drone strikes on St Petersburg and the Kronstadt naval base—timed perfectly to shatter Vladimir Putin's illusion of stability right as he hosted his flagship economic forum. Not only did these strikes degrade Russia's crucial energy sector, but they successfully sank a Russian Navy corvette, the Boikiy, right in the headquarters of the Baltic Fleet.As Russia resorts to press-ganging occupied citizens and faces a widening budget deficit due to unsustainable military spending, we ask a critical question: With the US under Donald Trump seemingly losing interest and stepping back, can Europe fill the diplomatic and military vacuum to maintain this forward momentum?To help answer this, we are joined by renowned historian, author, and political commentator Dr. Helene von Bismarck. We get her expert diplomatic perspective on a weakening Russia, a strengthening Ukraine, and what comes next for European security.Join the Conversation: If you have a question about the war in Ukraine or any of the conflicts we cover, email us at podbattleground@gmail.comFollow us on:X - @PodBattlegroundInstagram - podbattlegroundProducer: James HodgsonA Goalhanger Podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

(5) Michael Bernstam analyzes the humiliating Ukrainian strike on a St. Petersburg oil terminal during Putin's flagship economic forum. Russia's energy sector faces a crisis, forcing a ban on refined exports like gasoline due to refinery damage. Consequently, Russia must increase crude exports to China and India.
Day 1,560.Today, Sweden impounds a Russian cargo ship allegedly exporting Ukrainian grain from occupied territories. Then, as images of the results of yesterday's Ukrainian strikes in and around St Petersburg start to appear, Marco Rubio denies any knowledge at all of a US delegation at the nearby economic forum, just as said participants show that they really don't like the press asking them questions one little bit. Dom reports how Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte has directly addressed Russian men, telling them that if they go to fight in Ukraine “you'll be left to suffer in the mud and die”, and Lily looks at a tight vote in the US House of Representatives over Ukraine funding that managed, just, to get over the line.

Gawker was a pioneering, era-defining blog that covered the world of media and celebrities and was known for its snarky creative voice and questionable journalistic ethics. Ten years after the billionaire-funded lawsuit that drove it into bankruptcy, Frank DiGiacomo, entertainment reporter and co-author of Paper of Wreckage: An Oral History of The New York Post, discusses the outlet's enduring legacy as described in his recent piece, "At Gawker, They Battled a Billionaire. 10 Years Later, the Scars Are Still Healing."

Silicon Bites Ep346 | 2026-06-04 | Some uninvited guests from HUR, the Ukrainian intelligence services have decided to decorate the backdrop to Putin's prestigious economic forum in St Petersburg. And it looks truly beautiful. I love the sight of Russia burning in the morning, especially when it's so humiliating for the killer gnome in the Kremlin. Mos Eisley on the Neva: how Putin's prestige forum opened this morning with a massive fire on its horizon, an American delegation of influencers, cranks, and trump appointees inside, and Russia's largest northwestern oil terminal burning six kilometres from the conference hall.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! Deutschland hat bei der Wahl für einen nichtständigen Sitz im UN-Sicherheitsrat eine überraschende Niederlage erlitten. Die Bundesrepublik scheiterte an der erforderlichen Zweidrittelmehrheit – erstmals seit der Wiedervereinigung. Und das, obwohl Außenminister Johann Wadephul zuletzt noch persönlich nach New York gereist war, um für die deutsche Kandidatur zu werben. Weiter blicken wir nach St. Petersburg: Dort findet bis zum 6. Juni das Internationale Wirtschaftsforum mit rund 20.000 Teilnehmern statt. Kurz vor Beginn der Veranstaltung attackierte die Ukraine Energie- und Militäranlagen in der Stadt mit Drohnen. Auch die deutsche Innenpolitik sorgt für Diskussionen: Spekulationen über eine mögliche Zusammenarbeit zwischen BSW und AfD haben zuletzt für Wirbel gesorgt.
Mit rund 20.000 Teilnehmern aus mehr als 100 Ländern hat am 3. Juni das St. Petersburger Internationale Wirtschaftsforum begonnen. Russland nutzt die Veranstaltung, um seine wirtschaftliche Widerstandsfähigkeit zu demonstrieren und die Beziehungen zu Partnern in Asien, Afrika und dem Nahen Osten auszubauen. Für Aufmerksamkeit sorgen zudem eine offizielle US-Delegation und die verstärkte Beteiligung deutscher Unternehmen.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode, Kim speaks with Oliver Bullough, journalist and author of the highly acclaimed books: Butler to the World: How Britain Helps the World's Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything and Moneyland: Why Thieves and Crooks Now Rule the World and How To Take It Back. Oliver's new book is called Everybody Loves Our Dollars - How Money Laundering Won. Oliver describes a moment in his life that shaped each of these books. He was touring the palace of Yanukovych, the corrupt pro-Russian ex-President of Ukraine, horrified at the extravagant opulence, all stolen from the Ukrainian people. “How did you let him get away with this?” Oliver asked his friend. “Well, actually you're technically in London, not Ukraine, right now,” his friend responded. Who is corrupt, the people who stole the money, or the lawyers, bankers, and accountants in countries that tout their lack of corruption? Oliver describes the systems in place to help the wealthy dodge taxes and the deeply corrupt to hide their theft. Kim and Oliver talk about the corrosive effect on our political institutions and our economy; and how we got here in the post-WWII era. Guest Background: Oliver Bullough is a journalist and author from Wales who writes about financial crime, the former Soviet Union, and offshore skulduggery. He lives near Hay-on-Wye, and has previously lived in London, Moscow, St Petersburg and Bishkek. When not working, he likes watching rugby, cooking pizzas, swimming in the river and walking in the hills. You can find him on Twitter at @oliverbullough.

The Bible makes sense in its deepest and richest capacity only when we read it through Jesus shaped goggles. When we see all of it through the lens of its Main Character – it should cause us to preach explicitly Christian sermons.Mike Neglia (with some help from Pilgrim Benham) explains, shows and tells how to preach Gospel centered sermons that proclaim the gospel from every passage at our in-person training event in St Petersburg, Florida. After graduating Bible college in Siegen, Germany in the summer of 2002, Mike flew to London, then hitchhiked across the UK and over to Ireland and finished up in the city of Cork. He helped out with Calvary Chapel Cork for a few weeks of summer outreaches and intended on leaving, but the pastor asked him to stay on “for a little bit longer.” He stayed in Cork as a full-time missionary youth outreach coordinator/assistant for more than two years. In 2005 the pastor felt called by the Lord to go elsewhere (New Zealand) and asked if Mike and Rachel would consider staying on and taking over the church. His first Sunday morning was October 18, 2005, preaching to a congregation of four people.
