Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: United Church Minister turned whistleblower, Canadian Hero, father of two, published writer and author, public speaker and podcaster, documentary filmmaker, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, co-founder of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, righteous soul, and Eagle Strong Voice: Kevin AnnettA United Church minister turned relentless whistleblower, Kevin stands as a towering figure in the fight for truth and justice. For decades, this Canadian hero we get to hear from today has fearlessly exposed the dark underbelly of his nation's history - the systematic genocide of Indigenous children in church-run Indian Residential Schools. At immense personal cost, Kevin has become a beacon of hope for survivors, a thorn in the side of the powerful, and a catalyst for global awakening.Born with a fierce sense of justice, Kevin's journey began in the 1990s when, as a minister in Port Alberni, British Columbia, he uncovered harrowing accounts of abuse, murder, and cultural annihilation inflicted upon Indigenous children. What he discovered shattered his world: a deliberate campaign by church and state to erase a people, with a staggering 50% death rate in the schools - a truth later confirmed by the Globe and Mail in 2007. Unwilling to stay silent, Kevin embarked on a mission that would cost him his career, his family, and his reputation, but would also ignite a movement that could not be extinguished.In 1998, Kevin convened the first independent Tribunal into residential school crimes in Vancouver, a groundbreaking effort that recommended genocide charges against Canada and its churches to the United Nations. He founded The Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada in 2000, authored the seminal book ‘Hidden from History: The Canadian Holocaust' in 2001, and released the award-winning documentary ‘Unrepentant' in 2007, which shocked the world with its raw testimonies and undeniable evidence. His work forced an official apology from the Canadian government in 2008, though the establishment quickly erased his name from the narrative.Undeterred, Kevin went global. In 2010, he co-founded the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), uniting survivors across 26 countries to hold the Vatican, the British Crown, and Canadian leaders accountable for crimes against humanity. His efforts led to the 2011 excavation of children's bones at a mass grave in Brantford, Ontario, and the historic 2012 prosecution of Pope Benedict and others by the International Common Law Court of Justice. Kevin's courage even sparked the resignation of Pope Benedict - a testament to the power of his unrelenting pursuit of justice.CONNECT WITH KEVIN: Email: angelfire101@protonmail.comPhone: 289-680-8724 Websites: -Republic of Kanata: https://republicofkanata.org/-Radio Free Kanata: https://bbsradio.com/radiofreekanata-'Murder by Decree' & other books published by Kevin: https://murderbydecree.com/#books -'Unrepentant' Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czej73SfYJcCONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comBUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES: https://realrifetechnSupport the show

In this week's episode of then & now, guest host Professor Fernando Pérez-Montesinos is joined by Carlos Pérez Ricart, Assistant Professor in International Relations at the Center for Economic Research and Teaching (CIDE) in Mexico City, to discuss Mexico's Dirty War—an internal conflict from the 1960s to the 1980s between the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)-ruled government and left-wing student and guerrilla groups. As one of the four members of Mexico's truth commission from 2021 to 2024, Carlos draws on the findings of this initiative to examine the country's systematic use of violence and repression, as well as the most significant revelations from the commission's comprehensive reports.Carlos situates Mexico's experience within the broader context of Latin America's wave of repressive military regimes during the Cold War, which implemented widespread crackdowns on real and perceived political dissidents. While countries across the region began confronting these legacies in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Mexican government remained largely unresponsive to calls for a truth commission, despite persistent demands from activists and human rights organizations. In 2021, the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) finally initiated a formal process to address past abuses, creating a truth commission tasked with conducting interviews and scouring archives for evidence of past violence. This conversation considers the complexities of uncovering evidence implicating powers behind the formation of the truth commission itself and provides critical insights into the mechanisms of state violence, the politics of memory, and the challenges of transitional justice in contemporary Mexico.Carlos Pérez Ricart is an assistant professor in International Relations at the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) in Mexico City. Prior to joining CIDE, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford, where he worked at both the History Faculty and the Latin American Centre, St. Antony's College. His research and teaching interests include the relationship between Mexico and the United States, security and organized crime, arms trafficking, drug policies. He is co-editor of the book "Gun Trafficking and Violence: From The Global Network to The Local Security Challenge" (Palgrave, St. Antony's College 2021). Fernando Pérez-Montesinos is an associate professor in the Department of History at UCLA. His research focuses on the history of modern Mexico with a focus on the nineteenth century and the Mexican Revolution. His book, "Landscaping Indigenous Mexico: The Liberal State and Capitalism in the Purépecha Highlands" (UT Press, 2025), focuses on the Purépecha people of Michoacán, Mexico, and examines why and how long-standing patterns of communal landholding changed in response to liberal policies, railroad expansion, and the rise of the timber industry in Mexico.Further Reading:Fifty Years of Silence: Mexico Faces the Legacy of its Dirty War, GWU National Security ArchiveInquiry into Mexico's ‘dirty war' obstructed by military and other agencies, board says, the Guardian

Marcelo Rubens Paiva was 11 when armed men came and took his father away. Brazil was under a military dictatorship at the time. Marcelo's father was an opponent and was killed for it. His mother Eunice Paiva was now alone, raising five children. For decades she fought for answers from the state. She became a prominent lawyer and human rights defender and helped to set up Brazil's Truth Commission. But when Eunice started to develop Alzheimer's disease it fell to Marcelo, by now a successful author, to tell the family's story. That story has been made into an Oscar-winning film - I'm Still Here. And it's reignited a national debate in Brazil, about the past and the present.Presenter: Jo Fidgen Interpreter: Fernando Duarte Producer: Helen FitzhenryGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

The Vermont Truth and Reconciliation Commission was created after lawmakers apologized for the state's role in the eugenics movement. But the office has a “seemingly impossible scope,” leaving some questioning whether the commission's work will reach communities most impacted by eugenics.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Colombia Calling – I'm Emily Hart and this week we have something a little bit different – the radical linguistic technique which is building peace - personal and political - all over the world, and the inspiring woman bringing it to Colombia.    This week, I have with me Camila Reyes Azcuénaga – the founder of Resuena, the organisation bringing the school of thought known as ‘Nonviolent Communication' (NVC) to Colombia, a way of structuring our thoughts and communications to prevent and heal conflict, breaching the divides of culture, politics, and identity.    Developed in the late 20th Century by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg, NVC now has trainers and centres in more than 60 countries around the world. This simple technique aims to humanise the ‘other', and forge communication, collaboration, and trust – from our daily life, to our work, and well beyond.    Camila studied law and political science and worked with indigenous communities and landmines here in Colombia, but felt the country needed a more fundamental change than she could achieve with that work. She left Colombia in search of something which would shift the paradigm of violence and conflict entirely.    After stumbling across Nonviolent Communication training during Occupy Wall Street, she felt she'd found what she was looking for – she spent years training and finally returned to Colombia, founding Resuena in 2011, running free workshops for years.   Resuena has now trained thousands, from institutions like the United Nations, the Truth Commission, and the Search Unit for Missing Persons, to grassroots social leaders in conflict-stricken areas of Colombia's South-west. The group helps people to navigate interpersonal relationships and conflicts, as well as maintain cohesion within movements and groups.    Through guided discussions, participants are trained to identify the patterns of behaviour that divide them and weaken their collective campaigns and processes, and then to replace them with a focus on acting from common ground. This year, Resuena also launched the ‘Sowers of Nonviolent Communication' network – so that trainees can go into their own communities and pass on the training.    So today, Camila is going to give us a masterclass in these techniques and their underlying ideas, talking us through the four steps – observation, feeling, need, and request – along with some everyday examples. She'll then tell us about her amazing work in some of Colombia's most difficult contexts, and why this work is so necessary not just for the country – but for all of us.

Why does the Australia Human Rights Commission think that the proposed misinformation bill is bad news? In this deep dive we look at what is proposed in the Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation Bill and its strange provisions, such as the specific harms of questioning elections or referenda and questioning the merits of public health measures. Looks suspiciously like an attempt to rewrite the history of the COVID era and the voice referendum. ——————Follow Cameron and Jonathan on X/Twitter.

Hallo and welcome to another episode of Colombia Calling - I'm Emily Hart and this week I'll be chatting to Nubia Rojas about journalism at war – how journalists fell victim to, but also took part in, Colombia's civil conflict. Nubia is a journalist and researcher who has worked on conflicts across the world both as a correspondent and an analyst, working for the United Nations, Doctors without Borders, and Oxfam, as well as numerous Colombian outlets. Most recently, Nubia authored a chapter of the final report of Colombia's Truth Commission – a historic publication which was the outcome of an unprecedented investigation into the causes and consequences of Colombia's internal armed conflict – the final report was the result of nearly four years' work and tens of thousands of interviews. Today we'll be chatting about Nubia's chapter – digging in to the historical and present relationship between journalism and Colombia's political elites, paramilitary PR, rebel elites, corporate takeovers and more.

Who asked for the Truth Commission and the Disciples of Apocalypse in a six man tag match?!?  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys sit down to talk about matches featuring Bradshaw, Goldust, and Ken Shamrock.  Jeff Jarrett decides to part ways with Jim Cornette, the Lethal Weapon Steve Blackman takes on The Rock, and the Legion of Doom has yet another nail hammered into their coffin.  Wait a second, did the Headbangers just win the NWA Tag Team Championship? How PASSÉ!

What's the best way to kick off 1998? By bringing back the NWA Championship!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys start off 1998 with a bang.  Ken Shamrock and Faarooq keep up the story, while the Disciples of Apocalypse and the Truth Commission fail miserably.  Tom Brandi shows up again to defend Sable from Marc Mero, while The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust manages to go beyond bizarre and into offensive.  How about a nostalgia pop for Don King?

As part of the historic 2016 peace agreement, the “Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence and Non-repetition” (hereafter the Colombian Truth Commission) was established to focus on victims and their right to the truth with an emphasis on the way different people were impacted by the armed conflicts. The findings of the Commission's subchapter, “The truth is rainbow”, are highly relevant for the humanitarian community. In this post, Elias Dehnen, peace and conflict studies researcher and journalist, argues that drawing lessons from the Colombian Truth Commission's LGBTIQ-subchapter is not about ideological alignment, but about making humanitarian response truly impartial, considering particular needs of vulnerable groups.

Go Team U.S.A.!  Go Team… Vader?  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at one of the most infamous Pay Per Views in wrestling history, the 1997 Survivor Series!  The Truth Commission and the Disciples of the Apocalypse stink up the place, while the in-ring debut of Steve Blackman on Team U.S.A. is surprisingly serviceable.  Ken Shamrock and Rocky Maivia continue to shine, while Stone Cold Steve Austin finally gets his hands on Owen Hart.  What a maneuver loogie!

Vince McMahon wants Shawn Michaels' BULGE in our FACES!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get a night of lowlights in an unusually bad episode of Monday Night Raw.  Ken Shamrock and Faarooq's brief match was great, but things went downhill when a bombed-out Sunny showed up, Mr. Sucky and the minis wasted everyone's time, and the Patriot made Owen Hart look bad in the ring. Would you rather talk about the Truth Commission or Goth Marlena and Zubaz pants?

A new park-and-ride scheme comes into force next week that aims to cut traffic congestion and air pollution in Nicosia; the Committee for Missing Persons can become a Truth Commission to bring closure for grieving relatives - but how will it work?

After the peace agreement their leaders signed with the Colombian government in September 2016, members of the FARC guerilla group began turning in their weapons to the UN. In exchange, rank-and-file members received amnesty for acts of violence they committed during the country's long civil war. They could leave their jungle encampments and rejoin society – go to work or school like any other citizen. The FARC ceased to be a group of guerilla fighters and became a political party, with members even serving in congress. But many Colombians saw the FARC as enemies, and were not ready to integrate them into society so quickly. Just over half of voters rejected the agreement in a referendum. Some ex-combatants were killed.  And in 2018, the country elected Iván Duque, a vocal opponent of the peace accord. But peace takes time. And our guest Daniel Salgar says that over time, more Colombians, including many journalists, have begun to accept former guerillas as members of society, rather than enemies. The election of President Gustavo Petro in 2022, who ran on the peace agreement, reflects that mindset shift.Salgar counts himself among a generation of journalists who spent most of their careers covering peace efforts. When we spoke with him last year, he was wrapping up a job as an editor for the Colombia Truth Commission Report, which shed light on decades of atrocities and human rights violations that were committed during the civil war. Before working for the Truth Commission, he was a reporter and editor at the newspaper El Espectador, where he oversaw a project on peacebuilding called Colombia 2020. Salgar also served as editor and director of the Spanish news service for Anadalou, a Turkish international news agency. Now working in communications for ACNUR Colombia/ UNHCR, Salgar says he continues to be optimistic about the implementation of the 2016 agreement and the possibility of peace with other guerilla groups in his country. The original version of this episode was published in September 2022. Follow Daniel Salgar on Twitter: @DanielSalgar1View the Colombia Truth Commission Report (in Spanish) Read Daniel Salgar's interview with former FARC leader Timochenco (in English)Read Daniel's analysis piece on drug policy in Colombia (in Spanish) Explore the peacebuilding journalism project Colombia 2020 (Now Colombia +20) (in Spanish)Making Peace Visible is a project of War Stories Peace Stories.

In 2022, the Colombian Truth Commission published its 10.000-page thick report ‘Hay Futuro Si Hay Verdad'. It describes the immense impact the conflict had – and still has – on the victims of the civil war and society as a whole. Together with María Prada (former advisor to the Truth Commission's President), we discuss the different roles a Truth Commission has, such as dignity for those affected, non-repetition and evidence for justice. We also looked at the difficulties of upholding recommendations while priorities and levels of continuing violence constantly change. Her conversation partner is the Dutch Ambassador to Colombia, Ernst Noorman, who sheds light on the role the international community can play in such peace processes.

The COVID pandemic has been one of the most politically and culturally divisive events in American history. Adding to our woes, the proper approach to scientific inquiry and policy makers' relationship with the expert class became badly skewed. Once an orthodoxy was declared by the World Health Organization or the Center for Disease Control, government leaders, the mainstream media, and Big Tech circled the wagons to prevent dissenting views from being aired — and even sought to punish those with differing opinions. This included attacking the Great Barrington Declaration — authored by notable epidemiologists, that challenged the efficacy of societal shutdowns and keeping children out of school. Now, with the COVID emergency at an end, two of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration and other notables in medicine have organized the Norfolk Group, calling for a national commission to investigate the country's response to COVID. One of these experts is Wesley's guest on this episode of Humanize. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is a Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research. He holds an MD and PhD in economics, both earned at Stanford University, where he directs Stanford's Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging. Dr. Bhattacharya's recent research focuses on the epidemiology of COVID-19 as well as an evaluation of policy responses to the epidemic. In December 2022, Bhattacharya was appointed by Florida Governor and now presidential candidate Ron DeSantis to the Public Health Integrity Committee, charged with assessing federal decisions, recommendations, and guidance related to public health and health care.

Five years ago, the government of Colombia signed a historic peace accord with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC, putting an end to a fifty-year civil war. The agreement allowed FARC members to turn in their weapons and begin to live as civilians. The Colombian Truth Commission was established to shed light on decades of atrocities and human rights violations that were committed during the war. This summer the Truth Commission released its full report. Over 1,000 people worked on it, interviewing 24,000 Colombians. And in August, Gustavo Petro – a former guerilla combatant, and a vocal proponent of the peace agreement –  took office as President. Our guest this episode, Daniel Salgar, served as editor for the first volume of the Truth Commission Report, which focuses on Colombia's history. Salgar is a journalist who's worked in national and international media in Colombia for the past ten years. He was a reporter and editor at the newspaper El Espectador, where he oversaw a project on peacebuilding called Colombia 2020. He was editor and director of the Spanish news service for Anadalou, a Turkish international news agency. He teaches Journalism, Conflicts, and Migration at Externado University in Bogota.Daniel counts himself among a generation of journalists who spent most of their careers covering peace efforts.

On Episode 433, we take a look at a couple of the stories coming out of Colombia which may have escaped your notice with various events ocurring around the world, stealing the headlines in the foreign pages of your newspapers and outlets. After the Colombia news brief with journalist Emily Hart, I sit down to give you an extremely abridged and summerised overview of the report and findings of the Truth Commission and of a report produced by the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Neither make for gentle reading. Thank you again for your support and please consider subscribing and signing up at www.patreon.com/colombiacalling

On the one year anniversary we rebroadcasted Key Selections from the Cold War Truth Commission. The Commission was a virtual event last year in the middle of COVID hosted by Rachel Bruhnke and Frank Dorrell.

In 2021, the Vermont Legislature issued a long overdue apology for Vermont's early 20th century state-sanctioned eugenics movement, which targeted Indigenous people and other groups. According to VTDigger, “The eugenics movement used forced sterilizations and other practices in an attempt to wipe out targeted populations who were deemed unfit to procreate, including Indigenous people, French Canadians, mixed-race people, people with disabilities and low-income families, among others.”In issuing the formal apology, Senate President Pro Tempore Becca Balint declared, “This is a moment for grief, but it's also a moment for growth.”The apology left unspoken how to undo the harm. Now, a bill in the Vermont House, H. 96, proposes that Vermont establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to examine what happened and possible reparations. We talk with Rep. Tom Stevens, chair of the House Committee on General, Housing and Military Affairs, and a sponsor of the bill, and Virginie Ladisch, a senior expert at International Center for Transitional Justice.“We're trying to build something that represents the beginning of a longer conversation between those of us who are part of the system and the people that we're needing to listen to during this process,” says Rep. Stevens.

For our final foray into the world of WWF in 1997, we visit one of the most talked about moments in wrestling history. No, it's not the hard fought victory over the DOA for The Truth Commission. The show that's tagline was "Gang Rulz" (not kidding) included a moment which would change the way many view professional wrestling forever, and would usher in the wildest and most lucrative era in history. The Montreal Screwjob ended what was a mostly mediocre wrestling show, but it is required viewing for any fan of the artform.

Today on Sojourner Truth, we focus on the intersection between caregiving and poverty. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the U.S. government has been distributing checks to people in order to stop the economy from collapsing. However, it still refuses to consider providing an income for family caregivers, whose work is generally depended on and has increased as a result of the pandemic. Family unwaged caregivers " most of whom are women, including mothers and grandmothers, and the most impoverished women on welfare " provide care for relatives, children, the elderly and persons with disabilities. Amid this crisis, they are expected to pick up the slack without any acknowledgement of the value or resources for their work. The International Labor Office has estimated that women do two-thirds of the world's work for five percent of the income. And according to a report released by Oxfam in January 2020, women around the world perform 12.5 billion hours of unpaid labor every day. Overall, the work of unwaged caregivers has been estimated to contribute at least $11 trillion to the global economy, according to a Human Development Report. Meanwhile, across the United States, over two million women are jailed every year, according to the Prison Policy Initiative. At least 80 percent of the women who go to jail annually are mothers, including nearly 150,000 women who are pregnant when they are admitted. Many of these women are poor and have been forced into drug abuse and criminal activity because of their unjust circumstances. As a result, oftentimes their children are forced into foster care and adoption, where they also face criminalization and abuse. Because of systemic poverty, caregivers, mothers and children are not only unvalued, but they are also forcibly separated and criminalized. Today, we bring you audio from a recent Truth Commission webinar entitled, Poverty in All its Forms is Violence: Caregivers Victimized by Poverty Speak Out! During today's program, you will hear from a multi-racial panel of mothers and other caregivers sharing their experiences of living in poverty. These include mothers who have had their children removed by child welfare not because of abuse, but because their families are impoverished or because their mothers were victims of domestic violence. Furthermore, you will hear insight as to how all of this is connected to poverty and systemic racism, the war economy, destruction of the environment and the violence and oppression of the market-focused economy. Lastly, our speakers discuss how they have come together with others to fight back in defense of other caregivers. The event was convened by the National Welfare Rights Union, an organization of, by, and for the poor in the United States and beyond.
