Yet we are living in the age of the imperial presidency — of endless war, executive orders, government secrecy, and a lack of accountability. These are all fit for a monarchy instead of a republic.How did we get here? What structures led to the rise of the imperial presidency? What decisions led to this unintended consequence undermining the American democratic experiment?Our guest is Jeremi Suri, who teaches history at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.

With just under two months until Election Day, Tim and Bill revisit the run-up to the midterms in 2006 and 1994, two major wave election cycles where the bottom just fell out from under the party in power. The 1994 blowout was more about the end of an era, while 2006 was about an unpopular war in the Middle East, a scandal, and a disappointed base. What do those wave elections suggest about the prospects for a big blue year in 2026? Plus: Do not miss either the war stories from Tim as a young Republican operative on the campaign trail or Clinton blaming Bill for helping to tank his health care reform plan.Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller for a special holiday pod.show notes: Tim in 2006 Bill in "Morning Shots" with his Truman-related advice for the Dems COME HANG WITH THE GANG—Sarah, Tim, JVL, Sam and friends—during our Bulwark LIVE: Good Fight Tour this October 16-20:

At 1:15 p.m. on April 12, 1945, Franklin Roosevelt was sitting for a portrait at his cottage in Warm Springs, Georgia, when his face suddenly fell forward. He raised his left hand to his temple and whispered to his cousin Daisy: "I have a terrific pain in the back of my head." He was dead by 3:35. That evening, Harry Truman, a former farmer and failed haberdasher who had been vice president for eighty-two days and had met with Roosevelt only twice, placed his hand on a Bible and became the thirty-third president of the United States. He had never been briefed on the atomic bomb. Thirteen days later, War Secretary Henry Stimson handed him a three-page memo that began: "Within four months we shall in all probability have completed the most terrible weapon ever known in human history, one bomb of which could destroy a whole city." Today's guest is James M. Scott, author of Empire of Ashes: Truman, Hirohito, and the Descent into Total War. We discuss how a Hungarian physicist who did his thinking in the bathtub tracked down Einstein by asking a boy on a Long Island street corner to launch the Manhattan Project, why Oak Ridge, Tennessee, became a secret city of 75,000 people who had no idea what they were building, and how the firebombing of Tokyo killed 105,000 people in a single night months before the atomic bombs fell. We look at why Groves wanted to destroy Kyoto for its two thousand temples and Stimson stopped him because he had honeymooned there, how Japan's military leaders refused to surrender even after two atomic bombs and forced an unprecedented intervention by an emperor who had spent the war collecting marine specimens in a palace while his cities burned, and why a group of young officers assassinated the commander of the Imperial Guards and seized the palace on the eve of surrender in a coup that came within hours of succeeding. Scott argues that the historical record supports Truman's decision but lets the last word belong to the survivors, and to a war minister who committed seppuku wearing the white shirt the emperor had personally given him, with a photograph of his dead son folded on top of his dress uniform.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Truman is busy with work, so Jason is flying solo and wonders why we can't win just one game against the Philadelphia Union, and wonder if it's possible to beat the Seattle Sounders and LAFC.

January 23, 1949 - The Fred Allen Show with special guest Jack Haley (Tin Man) and featuring Phil Harris. Phil was out east for President Truman's Inauguration.

Guest Host Terry Slatic & Nick Richardson In August 1950, Truman was personally answering correspondence when he received yet another letter advocating that the Marine Corps receive independent representation on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The letter came from Republican Congressman Gordon L. McDonough of California. The Marine Corps University document confirms that Truman did in fact call the Marines "the Navy's police force" and compare their advocates to a powerful propaganda machine. However, it also preserves his little-remembered follow-up letter, in which he apologized for his wording, praised the Marines' combat record, and reaffirmed his support for maintaining the Marine Corps as a distinct and vital branch of the U.S. military. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has blocked the promotions of four Army officers who had been selected for promotion to brigadier general (one-star rank), according to reporting by The Hill cited by NewsNation. The move is the latest in a series of Pentagon personnel decisions that have generated controversy inside military and political circles.

In this final episode of our Summer of Swans, we travel to the California home of Joanne Carson where Truman Capote spent his last days in August of 1984. Truman, infamous writer and collector of Swans, has some pretty epic stories in his last months, as told by his friends before his passing on August 25. Then, we drop in on Truman's first memorial service with mourners attached to Dominick Dunne in so any ways, including John Gregory Dunne, Joan Didion, Carol Marcus Matthau, Robert Blake, Artie Shaw and Christopher Isherwood.

This week, we begin the wind down our summer Swan series by investigating the third act of Truman Capote, including those scandalous chapters of Answered Prayers which targeted and alienated his Swans. In 1966, Truman claimed double success with the publication of In Cold Blood. Ultimately though, these achievements combined with his own hubris do not lead Capote to happiness, as his last decade reveals. Sponsors Upgrade your every day!

The bomb ended the war in one sentence. The real story took five months and a president three weeks into the job.Everybody thinks they know this ending: two cities, two bombs, one date, case closed. James M. Scott has spent twenty years proving otherwise. He's a Pulitzer Prize finalist, New York Times bestseller, and the author of Black Snow, Rampage, Target Tokyo, The War Below, and The Attack on the Liberty (plus Targeted: Beirut, co-written with Jack Carr). He teaches as scholar in residence at the Citadel, leads battlefield tours, and somehow still finds time to write books that make eighty-year-old history feel like it happened last Tuesday.His latest, Empire of Ashes (W. W. Norton), picks up where his last book, Black Snow, left off — and goes looking for the part of the story everybody skips.Before Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there was March 9, 1945: the single deadliest air raid of World War II, deadlier than Dresden by a factor of four, and somehow the raid history forgot. Scott explains why Japanese cities burned the way German cities never could, and how one Time magazine headline and some peer pressure from the British helped talk America into a new level of warfare.We also cover:Scott's take on the “othering” argument for why the bombs got dropped — and what he found in Curtis LeMay's and Leslie Groves's own papers insteadHow Scott tracked down survivor accounts from Hiroshima's archive that had never been published in English, and what it's like sitting in a survivor's living room Harry Truman's letters home from the trenches of World War I, written decades before he'd need every bit of that experience to make the hardest decision of his presidencyWhat Oppenheimer got wrong about Truman's personality (spoiler: the “crybaby” scene did some heavy lifting for the movie that the historical record doesn't fully back up)The end of Dad Books?The Truman Presidential LibraryHistoric Missouri (chock full of Truman!)This is also just a great conversation about how a career gets built by accident — Scott went to Japan in the '90s expecting a gap year and came home with a life's work, one classroom conversation about firebombing at a time.WATCH the video edition — with archival photos from James M.

More than 75 years after the Korean War, its lessons endure—and divisions over isolationism and American power continue to shape the discourse around modern global conflicts. Dane J. Cash, historian and author of The Forgotten Debate: The Korean War and the Roots of America's Ideological Divisions, joins School of War to explain how the left's hawk-dove divide during the Korean War foreshadowed the neoconservative break from the liberal consensus during the 1970s and why the political battles of the early Cold War continue to splinter America today. 2:10 America Before the Korean War 3:08 The Debate Over Containment 4:15 Multilateralism vs. Unilateralism 5:29 Did Acheson Invite the War? 8:23 Why North Korea Attacked 8:55 Conservative Criticism of Truman 11:10 Liberal Divisions Over Korea 13:30 The Roots of Neoconservatism 17:14 Truman's Lonely Middle Ground 19:51 The Right's Foreign Policy Split 22:05 Taft, Eisenhower, and the GOP 22:58 MacArthur's Moment 25:31 China Enters the War 30:37 Herbert Hoover's Foreign Policy Revolt 33:51 Stalemate, POWs, and Ukraine Parallels This episode of School of War is brought to you by Maven Smart System, the builder platform for the American warfighter, fielded across the force and live on the frontline today.

It is time to bring all the spiderwebs together. This week, it is the first part of the actual feud happening – the one between Gore Vidal, Truman Capote and Lee Radziwill. In this episode we explore the origin story of Gore and Truman which begins in the mid-1940's and runs through 1975 – up to and into the complicated love/hate triangle between these three.

Then, they toss it to Jake Lyman who interviews Titans defensive end Truman Jones from Vanderbilt Health Football Center.

Truman Capote had a feud with his Swans, sure. But do you know about the just-as-famous feud with fellow writer and raconteur Gore Vidal? Their epic battle got nasty, and it turns out Truman learned a whole lot about family matters from his bestie Swan, Lee Radziwell. Lee also happens to be a stepsibling of Gore through marriage, which makes the story even nastier. Today, we are backing the story all the way up to the mothers of Gore and Lee, Nina Gore Vidal and Janet Lee Bouvier. Spiderwebs abound! Sponsors Upgrade your every day!

August is a time of change for many. For families with children, it's back-to-school time. For many AFSPA members, it's also PCS season. This can all combine to make for a challenging period. To help us talk through ways to manage these changes, we're talking with Catherine McLean, MSW, LCSW, from the Truman Group. She shares her knowledge as a licensed clinical social worker and her experience as an expat and a counselor to many other expats. To help after the episode ends, she's also shared an infographic available here.Upcoming events: www.afspa.org/events Truman Group: www.trumangroup.com

New York Times best selling author AJ Baime talks about his book, The Accidental President: Harry S. Truman and the Four Months That Changed the World. He discusses Truman's unlikely rise to the presidency, detailed looks at the day FDR died and Truman's first day as president, and the many events taking place early in his presidency including the fall of Berlin, the founding of the UN, victory at Okinawa, firebombings in Tokyo, the first atomic explosion, the Nazi surrender, the liberation of concentration camps, the Potsdam conference, the decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the surrender of Japan, the end of WWII and the beginning of the Cold War.

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 8-21-2026Anatol Lieven discusses the war in Ukraine, highlighting Ukrainian drone and missile attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure like Black Sea resorts and a commercial center. He carefully examines the psychological impact of these infrastructure strikes, noting that while they aim to weaken Russian morale, history shows such strategies rarely succeed. Lieven describes growing domestic resentment over rampant government corruption, which threatens Western aid and has already led to several high-profile dismissals. Finally, he analyzes global energy and food security threats caused by port and refinery strikes, alongside Prime Minister Andy Burnham's struggle to balance costly military commitments with domestic recovery. (1)Peter Berkowitz reflects on the 30th anniversary of Alan Sokal's famous academic hoax, which exposed the intellectual decline within higher education humanities. Berkowitz critiques contemporary humanities departments for their ideological hypocrisy: professors claim objective truth is subjective while simultaneously insisting that their own political claims are absolute truths. He references a report from Vanderbilt and Washington University confirming that significant contingents of humanities faculty in core disciplines subordinate scholarship to political activism. Finally, Berkowitz notes that this progressive ideological capture is concentrated among college-educated voters in elite university towns, warning that treating education as political indoctrination severely perverts liberal education. (2)Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses the alarming rise of authoritarianism in Mexico under President Claudia Sheinbaum and her ruling party, Morena. O'Grady details how the ruling party has systematically consolidated power by taking control of independent electoral bodies, tribunals, regulatory commissions, and the judiciary through politicized popular elections. She warns that Morena's latest effort targets television and radio—the primary sources of information for most Mexican citizens—to effectively censor critical independent media. While O'Grady deeply laments the weak leadership of the official political opposition, she finds hope in the strong pushback and widespread mobilization of Mexican civil society against these state controls. (3)Jonathan Miltimore discusses the ongoing imprisonment of 79-year-old pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong, calling it the world's most overlooked story. Miltimore expresses his deep disappointment that Donald Trumpfailed to raise Lai's case publicly during his Beijing trip, instead repeating CCP rhetoric that Lai caused "bedlam." He describes Lai's deteriorating health inside his tiny, unventilated six-foot cell and urges President Trump to pressure Xi Jinping during his upcoming U.S. visit. Miltimore notes that even certain CCP factions want Lai released to avoid international outrage if he dies in prison, emphasizing that Lai is fully prepared for potential martyrdom. (4)Veronique de Rugy critiques California Representative Ro Khanna's proposal for a "one-time" 5% wealth tax on billionaires. De Rugy explains that several different European countries largely abandoned wealth taxes because they are administratively difficult, generate little revenue, and cause severe economic distortions. Highlighting a debate between Khanna and Mark Cuban, she details how taxing paper wealth completely ignores true liquidity, forcing entrepreneurs to sell shares of private companies or borrow against volatile collateral. De Rugy warns that wealth taxes inevitably expand to target middle-class citizens, ultimately costing states far more in lost income taxes than they retrieve from the wealthy. (5)Rohan Naidu discusses the groundbreaking discovery of "black hole stars" at cosmic dawn using the James Webb Space Telescope. Naidu explains that these infant objects appear as mysterious "little red dots" but possess hybrid properties of both highly luminous black holes and stars. He explains how a young black hole surrounded by dense hydrogen gas absorbs blue and green light, creating a signature "Balmer break" resembling the star Vega. Naidu outlines future research, including finding atmospheric chemical fingerprints like water, and using the newly proposed Celestemission alongside ground telescopes to directly image swirling gas feeding these infant black holes. (6)James M. Scott traces the dramatic, complex final months of World War II in the Pacific. Scott details how Secretary of War Henry Stimson briefed Truman in depth on the secret atomic bomb, and praises General Leslie Groves' masterful management of the Manhattan Project's secret cities. He describes Japan's political division: Emperor Hirohito secretly sought peace while militarists prepared a fanatical defense of Kyushu to force better terms. Scott explains the intense debate over demanding unconditional surrender versus preserving the Japanese monarchy, concluding with the Trinitytest, Potsdam Conference, and Truman's hope that the bomb's shock value would force surrender. (7)Evan Ellis analyzes key regional political and security developments in Latin America. Ellis discusses EcuadorianPresident Daniel Noboa's visit to China to secure security, trade, and economic assistance, and explains how historical visa-free policies turned Ecuador into a major transit corridor for Chinese migrants entering the US. He details Bolivia's ongoing political instability and the dangerous scandals involving Evo Morales. Ellis also covers Chile's border enforcement efforts, Colombia's return to aggressive military operations against cartels following a major earthquake, and the stalled democratic transitions in Venezuela and Nicaragua, where regimes rely on brutal repression and illicit economies to hold power. (8)This fuller eight-file version supersedes the earlier seven-file draft — de Rugy now sits at (5) and everything falls in place without gaps. The Celeste mission appears again in segment 6; the source calls it "newly proposed," which explains why I couldn't verify it earlier, so I've let it stand.

James M. Scott traces the dramatic, complex final months of World War II in the Pacific. Scott details how Secretary of War Henry Stimson briefed Truman in depth on the secret atomic bomb, and praises General Leslie Groves' masterful management of the Manhattan Project's secret cities. He describes Japan's political division: Emperor Hirohito secretly sought peace while militarists prepared a fanatical defense of Kyushu to force better terms. Scott explains the intense debate over demanding unconditional surrender versus preserving the Japanese monarchy, concluding with the Trinitytest, Potsdam Conference, and Truman's hope that the bomb's shock value would force surrender.

One random night watching a Yankees and Orioles game somehow turned Ben Maller into the executive producer and kingpin of "The Maller Matchmaker: Friend Edition," a completely spontaneous and unnecessary adventure some 2,300-miles away from the People's Republic of California, co-starring Marlins Man and Sports With Coleman. Because when you see Marlins Man behind home plate, naturally the next move is to start meddling in people’s lives. Along the way, Ben plays the adult version of Where’s Waldo?, while Bob Uecker, Don King, Casey Kasem-style “long-distance dedications,” and the Pentagon somehow wander into the story. Sure, why not? Then there’s the important historical investigation nobody requested: What clothing item did President Truman, Elvis Presley, Tom Selleck, and Jimmy Buffett help make popular? We also squeeze in the Atari 2600, Jonestown, and the philosophical dilemma that has tortured mankind for generations: What exactly qualifies as Kool-Aid?

This 8/20/2026 broadcast explores the concept of hyperreality, suggesting that our world is a "totalitarian Disneyland" where fake events are seamlessly integrated into history. The speaker argues that major media events—including political crises and high-profile deaths like those of Princess Diana or Hayden Panettiere—are actually scripted performances within a "PSYOP Entertainment Complex."By highlighting eerie coincidences and occult subtexts, the host posits that these events are part of a "Metascript" designed to manipulate public perception and replace actual agency with simulated participation. The IPS encourages a "non-belief" stance, urging individuals to adopt an "off-world stage perspective" to see through systemic media fakery. Ultimately, the text serves as a critique of modern media, claiming that society has been "crate trained" to accept a fictional universe as literal reality.Support the IPS Think TankKey Topics and Themes from the Transcript* Platform Migration from YouTube to Substack* Summary: The speaker argues that YouTube is no longer a viable “ground zero” for organizing the “off-world stage perspective” because the platform censors content, demonetizes creators, and targets users through biased algorithmic recommendations. In contrast, Substack functions as a more neutral platform that is fully capable of hosting the community's entire live chat, written archives, and transcript database.* Supporting Quotes:* “And since they have demonetized us, I don't see the incentive to making it [YouTube] the center of focus other than people are accustomed to it.”* “Substack might be a better and more like neutral ground zero.”* “We do want Substack to be the ground zero. For the off-world stage perspective. Because YouTube does nothing but censor.”* Tragic August Deaths and the Virgo Archetype* Summary: The speaker notices a repeating chronological pattern where famous, high-profile women—specifically Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, and the actress Hayden Panettiere—die in the month of August at exactly 36 years old. This narrative pattern contains an esoteric, mythological subtext that mirrors the astrological sign of Virgo (the spring maiden) and her symbolic kidnapping into the underworld by Hades.* Supporting Quotes:* “But I want to go deeper into it because something had me thinking about August and the significance of this month as it relates to these high profile tragic deaths, usually with some adequate representation of the spring maiden.”* “The theme seems to be the kidnapping of Persephone as we go into the end of summer, as we approach the equinox.”* “So you have 36 Monroe, 36 Diana, 36 Hayden, and August. These are the common denominators.”* Hyperreality and Simulated Public Agency* Summary: Referencing Jean Baudrillard and the YouTube video “We live in a totalitarian Disneyland” by Academic Agent, the speaker describes hyperreality as a “real plus fake” state. In this environment, simulated global events are codified into historical records as official facts. Under this closed system, public political participation, such as voting, is merely “simulated participation” that replaces genuine human agency with an illusion of control.* Supporting Quotes:* “So hyperreal refers to real plus fake. And we're talking about simulated events. Things that didn't happen. That become part of our historic record that are now officially real.”* “The system of simulation is a combination of government, news media, and mainstream entertainment.”* “It seems like voting is simulated participation instead of actual agency. It's a steam valve because it gives people the illusion of control.”* The Gnostic Demiurge in Cinema* Summary: Hollywood films frequently rely on Gnostic allegory, utilizing authority and controller figures played by actor Ed Harris to represent Saturn, Hades, or the Demiurge. Examples include Kristoff in The Truman Show, the Man in Black in Westworld, and Wilford in Snowpiercer. These pairings dramatize a captive initiate trapped within an artificial, deterministic simulation overseen by a cold, godlike architect.* Supporting Quotes:* “Kristoff is an archetype of the Demiurge, a godlike architect who shapes a false reality.”* “The audience identify with the trapped figure, Persephone, Alice, Truman, because our condition mirrors theirs. We too live in an underworld of the demo urge or the programmer.”* “each of these pairings dramatizes the initiate or captive with the architect or the warden.”* The Charlie Kirk Death Deconstruction* Summary: The speaker asserts that the political commentator Charlie Kirk never existed as a real individual but was a fictional character played by a lifetime PSYOP actor. The public “assassination” of Kirk was a highly choreographed theatrical performance featuring a practical special effect “squib” and blood bags. Alternative establishment stories claiming Kirk went into “witness protection” are dismissed as controlled subplots designed to keep the public emotionally invested in the reality of the simulation.* Supporting Quotes:* “Charlie never existed except as a character, a PSYOP actor.”* “For that to be a squib, he wore a mask of himself with the skin that goes over the chest. He wore a blood bag. They did rehearsals. The whole thing was rehearsed. It was choreographed.”* “The idea that he faked his death and went into witness protection to hide from Israel assumes that the whole dynamic is real.”* “MSM Plus” (Conspiracy Theories) vs. “MSM Minus” (Skepticism)* Summary: Mainstream conspiracy theories are categorized as “MSM Plus” because they add convoluted layers of speculation and intrigue to fill gaps in news narratives, ultimately keeping people trapped in establishment-controlled subplots. The speaker's “MSM Minus” approach relies instead on a subtractive methodology that systematically filters out media lies and removes the overarching metascript from their worldview.* Supporting Quotes:* “We call ourselves MSM minus is because we subtract from the lies... We subtract the meta script from our worldview.”* “The reason why that's significant is that MSM Plus is a subset of the mainstream box. It builds. So they fill in the gaps with conspiracy conjecture.”* “All conspiracy theories are truth or bait. The purpose of the conspiracy theory is to hide the provable and observable fact that these events in question are actually simulated.”* AI-Generated Media as an Emerging Art Form* Summary: Despite platforms like YouTube terminating millions of faceless AI channels under the guise of “inauthenticity,” the speaker defends AI-generated media as a collectively generated emerging art form. Asserting that they personally prefer AI-generated content over human-produced content, the speaker highlights their own experiment co-authoring a structured essay called The News Testament using ChatGPT and five of their personal transcripts.* Supporting Quotes:* “We're looking at a phenomenon, the emergence of a new art form. It's kind of like this collectively generated phenomenon.”* “I prefer AI slop to human slop, and there's a lot of that.”* “I took five of my transcripts and I asked for ChatGPT to co-author with me an essay called The News Testament, The Mainstream Media as World State Church.”Links Mentionedbitchute.com/infiniteplanesocietyOdysee https://odysee.com/@InfinitePlaneRadio:a Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video!

"And all of the liars that kept Truman boxed in, they're all part of the Saturnian matrix, which is again time, space control, mostly time, and of course matter. Saturn being associated with black matter. The various symbols that we see, like the cube, for example, is a very common one. The hexagon, hexagram, All of these pertain to the same basic idea."Structural Fakery and Concurrent Programming A central theme of the broadcast is that major historic events are predominantly prefabricated simulations. The speaker points to "concurrent programming"—the real-time synchronization between entertainment media (like Netflix or movies) and global news events—as empirical evidence that these events are scripted and planned in advance."The major historic events that have shaped our worldview have predominantly been fake. And if there's an exception, let me know. Please, I want to be the first to know, tell me what was real. You know, I used to have people say, well, all the school shootings can't be fake. I didn't say all, but I'm asking, well, which one is real?" "The significance of it is the synchronization of manufactured events and entertainment necessitates advanced planning. And, you know, we've been mocked for saying that events are planned in advance. Well, look at any major PSYOP and the drills that accompany it and tell me it wasn't planned in advance, which by definition means that that historic event was scripted. It was prefabricated."The Controlled Dialectic and Crisis Actors The source argues that public debates between "alternative" and "mainstream" figures are often managed dialectics designed to guide the audience toward a pre-determined consensus. Those who emotionally participate in these narratives, such as mourning for "fake dead people," are labeled by the speaker as "crisis actors" who are unwittingly feeding the establishment's ecosystem."A controlled dialectic is a structured method where opposing ideas, the thesis, antithesis, are restricted and managed to guide outcomes toward a desired synthesis. In this case, they both agree Charlie's dead. Everything after that is building on a fake false premise. So this is how they engineer consensus. So everybody who was watching this debate Whether for Owens or for Wilson, were basically falling for the control dialectic." "If you follow controlled opposition, you are controlled opposition. If you are someone who is crying for a fake dead person, or if not crying, maybe mourning or advocating for A fake dead person. You are technically a crisis actor. So you see this flyer on the screen. It says, Crisis Actors for Charlie Kirk."Woke Rightism and Scapegoating Mechanics The speaker critiques the "woke right" as a mirror image of the "woke left," both of which use different scapegoats to maintain a narrative of oppression. While the left focuses on "critical race theory" and white scapegoats, the right adopts "critical Israel theory" and Jewish scapegoats, both of which serve as "mind viruses" that keep people trapped in the world stage paradigm."The woke right are handed Jewish scapegoats. So it's critical race theory versus critical Israel theory every single time. And each claims to be oppressed. So the far right believe that they're being genocided. They are convinced that they are And then the right will say we're suppressed or censored. Because we can't say the N-word." "Each side claims the other side is oppressing him. It's the oppressed versus the oppressed. And that's what wokeism is. Same machinery, different scapegoat. And I think it's important to call out woke rightism because it's a A position that is in the world stage and it actually is the container in which all of the conspiracy theories actually fit."Complicity in the Digital Panopticon The broadcast highlights the irony of "truthers" who fear government surveillance while willingly participating in self-surveillance via smartphones and social media. The speaker suggests that the culture has been sold on "commodifying privacy" for attention, effectively creating a "Digital Panopticon" where individuals act as their own jailers."I see people getting mad at flock cameras. Like, oh, I don't want to be surveilled. Meanwhile Everywhere you go, your phone is giving away your location. You're self-surveilling. Social media is tantamount to a mind-reading device. You even take your self-surveillance equipment with you into your bedroom. You take it wherever you go." "They sold you on this idea that, hey, if we don't keep government power in check They're going to surveil us. It's like 1984. Knowing that we would resist that and we would destroy the cameras and we wouldn't want 1984, they sold it to us in the culture. They sold self-surveillance through

IPS DEPROGRAM August 15th, 2026

In this episode of our summer of Swans, we spend a little time with Truman's Publishing Swan, Katharine Graham, America's first female CEO of a Fortune 500 company and the honoree of The Black and White Ball. Katharine is a friend to Truman, but plays a far larger role in Dominick Dunne's third act as well. David Begelman, the movie studio head and Hollywood hotshot, participates in a bit of criminal embezzlement providing Dominick Dunne a BIG clue on the way to investigative journalism career. Also included, a now-found missing chapter from Capote's Answered Prayers. These few pages of “Yachts and Things” recall all about that time that Katharine and Truman sailed around the islands, made friends with a dolphin, and did some hashish too.

Henry Sokolski notes Senator John Kennedy has emerged as a dogged opponent of granting Saudi Arabia enrichment authority, labeling it a "bad idea." The agreement will automatically go into force within 90 legislative days unless Congress passes a veto-proof resolution against it. Kennedy's vocal stance may rally other senators to stop the package, potentially forcing the White House to renegotiate the deal to prevent spreading dangerous nuclear capabilities.

Lanny Davis joins Brian Nichols to reveal why as Bill Clinton's lawyer, he now agrees with libertarians on government surveillance and why America's privacy crisis is happening right now.This isn't a gotcha. Davis was Special Counsel to President Clinton, legal advisor to Michael Cohen, and the only Democrat George W. Bush put on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board - the panel that watched the government's surveillance programs from the inside. The invitation came from Karl Rove himself.So what makes a lifelong Democrat go straight to George Orwell's 1984? Flock cameras. License plate readers. Every car in America logged and shared between departments. Davis looked at all of it and said the quiet part out loud... "the bigger government is, the more I feel shared wisdom with libertarians."His new book, Finding the Third Way, tackles the civility crisis head-on. He and Joe Lieberman once asked 535 members of Congress and 50 governors to sign a civility pledge - three signed. Davis names his own party's labeling problem, pulls a Harry Truman warning from 1948, and makes the case that Democrats and libertarians agree on more than either side admits.And then Brian does the thing we do... the scorecard. Three things Lanny got right. Three where he lost me. One of them pointed straight at our own side.

July 30, 2026Sixty years ago, Medicare and Medicaid went into effect, Congress had amended the Social Security Act of 1935 to establish the two national health insurance programs, for seniors and for people who qualified on the basis of income, In 1945 Harry Truman had proposed an Economic Bill of Rights tht guaranteed certain rights including the right to adequate medical care, Truman said that “the health of this nation is a national concern,” John F Kennedy made the expansion of health insurance a priority, but faced strong opposition, With LBJ's victory in 1964, he had the votes to pass Medicare and Medicaid, But in 2026 the Republicans are rejecting LBJ's vision of a government that works to support its people, The One Big Beautiful Bill Act partially offset its tax custs with cuts to Medicaid, and the administration now plans to cut a program capping the cost of drugs for Medicare recipients.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Muchos creemos que entregar nuestra voluntad a Dios nos hace perder integridad, y por eso intentamos controlarlo todo en nuestra vida. Pero la entrega total trae libertad: cuanto más dependemos de Dios para tener paz, menos lo hacemos de nuestras circunstancias. No podemos dirigir nuestro propio “show”, ni tampoco vivir pasivamente “esperando Su voluntad”. La verdadera entrega renuncia al ego, no a la iniciativa. Lejos de frenar la acción, nos da una base firme y alinea nuestra determinación con lo que a Dios le importa, no con nuestros deseos.
