The Knicks just won the NBA Finals — and José Alvarado led the Puerto Rican Day Parade the next morning. But while New York was celebrating, something else was quietly happening in the Caribbean: a US carrier strike group just parked itself 90 miles from Havana. Henry and Danny — with help from AI guest Tio Raul — break down the full arc of America's 125-year obsession with Cuba. From the first concentration camps in history, to the mob-run casino island Batista built for American business, to Fidel's guerrilla campaign on a 10-person yacht with 81 men aboard, to the Cuban tank crews that went and fought Israel on a mountain in Syria — this island punches so far above its weight it's almost unbelievable. They also get into why Cuba deployed nearly half a million troops to Angola over 16 years, how that campaign helped end apartheid in South Africa (and what Nelson Mandela himself said about it), and how Aroldis Chapman — the hardest thrower in baseball history — had to buy his freedom from a cartel for $30 million just to pitch in the majors. And then there's Marco Rubio, whose family left Cuba under Batista — not Castro — now sitting as Secretary of State with a carrier fleet and a personal vendetta shaping US foreign policy in real time. Someone just dropped $57,000 on a prediction market betting it all goes hot before the end of 2026. Tio Raul is powered by Maneku — the AI built for real conversations.

They'll tell you Hearst was a newspaperman — a rich boy who sold headlines. That's the myth. And the myth is doing exactly what it was built to do, which is keep you from looking any closer.Because the truth is faster than that. And darker. And a lot more precise.In 1898, two men in New York — William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer — were fighting a circulation war that had crossed the line from exaggeration into fabrication. They invented atrocities. They bribed sources. They ran illustrations of events that never happened. They funded their own publicity stunts and then covered them as news. And when the USS Maine exploded in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898, killing 266 American sailors, they had the story they had been waiting for. Within weeks, they had pushed a reluctant president and a divided Congress into a war that turned the United States into an imperial power for the first time in its history.This isn't conspiracy. It isn't ideology. It's architecture — and the architecture they built in 1898 is still operating right now.In this video:→ Joseph Pulitzer arrives in America at 17 with no money, no English, and no connections — and ends up owning the tallest building in New York→ William Randolph Hearst inherits his father's mining fortune and uses it to wage a circulation war Pulitzer couldn't possibly win→ The Yellow Kid: the cartoon strip whose name became the term for an entire era of American journalism→ The Olivette, the Cisneros rescue, and the USS Maine — three case studies in how to fabricate, escalate, and weaponize a story→ The newsboys strike of 1899: the only group of people who ever forced Hearst and Pulitzer to back down→ Why the playbook they invented in 1897 is now running through every social media algorithm in the worldSubscribe to Hidden Forces in History for civilizational autopsies of the empires, institutions, and patterns shaping the world we live in now.00:00 The Myth and What Actually Happened01:17 Two Men Built This Machine01:38 Joseph Pulitzer: The Immigrant Who Bought The World04:42 William Randolph Hearst: Unlimited Money, No Patience06:13 Park Row: The Circulation War Begins08:14 The Yellow Kid and the Birth of Yellow Journalism09:46 The Olivette: The Playbook Goes Live11:35 The Evangelina Cisneros Rescue13:09 The USS Maine14:20 "You Furnish the Pictures, I'll Furnish the War"15:27 1898: America Becomes an Empire17:35 The Newsboys Strike18:45 Same Playbook, Different Century

¿Y si las guerras más importantes del último siglo no fueron exactamente como nos las contaron? En este podcast repasamos cómo el ascenso de Alemania amenazó al Imperio Británico antes de la Primera Guerra Mundial, el uso de propaganda antialemana en Occidente y los episodios más controvertidos del siglo XX: el Lusitania, el USS Maine, el USS Liberty o el 11S. Además, analizamos cómo la lucha actual contra China, Irán y Rusia podría responder a la misma lógica geopolítica de hace más de 100 años: controlar Eurasia, las rutas comerciales y el petróleo mundial. ¿Estamos viendo repetirse la historia?

This episode explores how Spain's shrinking empire and the USS Maine explosion pushed the United States toward war with Spain in 1898, focusing on Commodore George Dewey and his flagship, the USS Olympia. It covers Dewey's career, Olympia's design and Pacific mission, and the decisive Manila Bay attack—culminating in the famous command, "You may fire when ready, Gridley."

Season 1, Episode 10 explores the Spanish-American War's turning points: the USS Maine explosion, Commodore George Dewey's decisive victory at the Battle of Manila Bay aboard USS Olympia, and the larger shift from Spanish global dominance to rising American power. The episode traces Olympia's life—from its construction and wartime glory to postwar service, its role returning the Unknown Soldier, and the ongoing struggle to preserve the historic ship as a museum.

This episode unpacks the causes, key events, and consequences of the Spanish-American War, highlighting how it shaped U.S. foreign policy into the modern era.    To mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. declaration of independence, CFR is dedicating a year-long series of articles, videos, podcasts, events, and special projects that will reflect on two and a half centuries of U.S. foreign policy. Featuring bipartisan voices and expert contributors, the series explores the evolution of America's role in the world and the strategic challenges that lie ahead.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: H.W. Brands, Jack S. Blanton Sr. Chair in History, The University of Texas at Austin   We Discuss: What drove the United States toward assertive foreign policy in the 1890s. Who the "jingoes" were and how American leaders pushed for American power abroad. Whether access to China drove American interest in Spain's Pacific empire. Why the USS Maine explosion changed the political calculus for entering a war with Spain. What the Teller Amendment accomplished and what its drafters failed to anticipate. Whether the annexation of the Philippines was ultimately the least-bad option for the Filipino people. What the Spanish-American War's legacy reveals about how the United States became—and chose to remain—a global power.   Mentioned on the Episode:   Monroe Doctrine, December 2, 1823 McKinley's First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1897 Theodore Roosevelt, Naval War College Address, June 2, 1897 The Teller Amendment, April 19, 1898   For an episode transcript and show notes, visit The President's Inbox at: https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/presidents-inbox/america-at-250-the-spanish-american-war   Opinions expressed on The President's Inbox are solely those of the host or guests, not of CFR, which takes no institutional positions on matters of policy.

This week we talk about the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and decapitation attacks.We also discuss Venezuela, Iran, and the Platt Amendment.Recommended Book: The Will of the Many by James IslingtonTranscriptCuba is a large island nation, about the same size as the US state of Tennessee, which formally gained its independence from Spain in late 1898, following three wars of independence, the last of which brought the US, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines into play against the Spanish when the Spanish military sunk the USS Maine in Havana Harbor, triggering the Spanish-American War.That conflict, which Spain lost, led to the US's acquisition of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, and it led to a piece of US legislation called the Platt Amendment, which redefined the relationship between the US and Cuba, following the war, making Cuba a protectorate of the United States, the US promising to leave, withdrawing its troops from Cuban soil, only if seven conditions were met, and an additional provision that Cuba sign a treaty indicating they would continue to adhere to these conditions moving forward—making them permanent.Most of these conditions relate to Cuba's ability to enter into relationships with other nations, but provision three also says the US can intervene if doing so will preserve Cuban independence, and that Cuba will sell or lease to the US the land it needs to base its naval vessels in the area, so that it can intervene, militarily if necessary, to keep Cuba independent.The other provisions are largely related to ensuring Cuba stays financially solvent and clean, the former meant to help maintain that independence, so Cuba doesn't make deals with other nations, perhaps US enemies, in order to bail itself out when financially in trouble, and the latter meant to help prevent the bubbling up of diseases in a not well-maintained Cuba, that might then spread to the US.These concerns were concerns for the US government because Cuba is very, very close to the US. It's just over 90 miles away from Key West, Florida, and that means in the mind of those tasked with defending the US against foreign incursion, Cuba has long represented an uncontrolled variable where enemies could conceivably base all sorts of military assets, including but not limited to nuclear weapons.That makes Cuba, again, in the minds of defense strategists looking to help the US secure its borders, long-term, something like an aircraft carrier slash nuclear submarine the size of Tennessee, located so close to the US that it could take out all sorts of major assets in a flash, long before the US could respond, getting the same sorts of strike craft and missiles to the Soviet Union.This framing of the situation, and this collection of concerns, is what led to the Cuban Missile Crisis back in 1962, when the US deployed nuclear weapons in the UK, Italy, and Turkey, all of which were closer to major Soviet hubs than the US, and that led to a tit-for-tat move by the Soviets to deploy nuclear missiles to Cuba, both to get their own weapons closer to the US, just as the US did to them with those new deployments, but also to deter a potential US invasion of Cuba, which was a staunch ally of the Soviet Union.The crisis lasted 13 days, and though then US President Kennedy was advised to launch an air strike against Soviet missile supplies, and to then invade the Cuban mainland to prevent the basing of Soviet nuclear weapons there, he instead opted for a naval blockade of Cuba, hoping to keep more missile supplies from arriving, and to thus avoid a strike on a Soviet ally that could accidentally spark a shooting war.After this nearly two-week standoff, the US and Soviet leaders agreed that the Soviets would dismantle the offensive weapons they were building in Cuba in exchange for a public declaration by the US to not invade Cuba. The US also secretly pledged to dismantle its own offensive weapons that it had recently deployed to Italy and Turkey, and the weapons they deployed to the UK were also disbanded the following year.This sequence of events is generally seen as a minor victory for the US during an especially fraught portion of the Cold War, as that secret agreement between Kennedy and Soviet leader Khrushchev meant that the Soviet people and leadership perceived this agreement as an embarrassing loss, and an example of Soviet weakness on the international stage—they blinked and the US got what they wanted without giving much of anything, though of course, again, the US gave a fair bit too, just in secret.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent escalation in the US's posture toward Cuba, and what might happen next, as a result of that change.—In early January 2026, the US military, ostensibly as part of a larger effort aimed at disrupting a network of watercraft that carry drugs from mostly South and Central American drugmakers across the border, into US markets, called Operation Southern Spear, the United States implemented a new blockade aimed at sanctioned oil tankers carrying fuel from Venezuela to, among other destinations, Cuban ports.Shortly before this blockade was declared, the US seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, then harassed, boarded, and intimidated other tankers, including one from Russia, that were also dealing in Venezuelan oil—something that US sanctions disallowed, and which the Trump administration had decided to focus on, ostensibly as part of that anti-drug effort, but also seemingly as part of a then-impending mission to kidnap Venezuelan President Maduro, who was then secreted away to the US to face trial, which is where he is, today.These seizures hit Cuba especially hard because the country is highly reliant on all sorts of imports, much of its income derived from tourism, not manufacturing or raw materials, and fuel coming from Venezuela was especially vital—about 72% of Cuba's electricity generation comes from oil-fueled power plants, and basically its entire transportation section is reliant on the same.Venezuela under Maduro also provided oil to Cuba at a discount, subsidizing it because those US sanctions didn't allow Venezuela to have many other reliable customers, and because the authoritarian governments of these two nations saw each other as fellow-travelers in the region, and thus wanted to keep each other propped up against constant pressure from the US and other democracies in the Americas.As of March 2026, Cuba has gone without crude oil deliveries for three months, and this has led to waves of flight cancellations and a depletion of tourism, which again, is the country's most vital income source. As of mid-March, Cuba's energy grid has also collapsed, which has left about 10 million people without power most of the time, amplifying existing problems caused by the country's antiquated energy generation and distribution systems.All of which seems to be according to plan for the second US Trump administration, which announced, as far back as January of this year, that it was seeking regime change in Cuba, and these blackouts have triggered exceedingly rare violent protests against that regime by Cuban citizens; these protests haven't led to any real change or consequences yet, but they could, with time.For their part, the Cuban government has said they've entered diplomatic talks with the US, and they've already agreed to release 51 political prisoners, just as an up-front, good will gesture. But they've also said changes to the Cuban political system or government—which is an authoritarian regime with absolute power, and which, like most such regimes, is openly corrupt, those in charge enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else, while keeping control via state-sanctioned violence against its own citizens—they've said changing that is non-negotiable, also noting that if there is direct aggression against Cuba by the US, they'll fight and offer up “impenetrable resistance.'The change that the US government seeks is reportedly similar to what was accomplished in Venezuela: booting the current leader, but keeping the existing regime, the power behind the publicly visible throne, intact, and then the US government influencing that existing regime from afar.This deviates from the assumed model, attempted by previous US and other governments throughout history, to boot the leaders of opposing government types and then replace them, and the local system, with something closer to their own. This new approach is possibly what the Trump administration is aiming for in Iran, as well, though it's difficult to say how well the model will work even in Venezuela, where it's still early days after the US's seemingly successful decapitation attack, much less in places like Cuba, where there's no single central power in the public-facing government, much of that power spread between Communist Party leaders, rather than hoarded by a single individual—a far cry from how things were under Castro during the Cold War.As of the day I'm recording this, there's a new wrinkle in this blockade: a Russian oil tanker has been tracked heading along a trajectory that would seem to lead to Cuba, which, if accurate, could put the US and Russia at odds over deliveries to the island once more—though in this case it would be oil instead of offensive nuclear weapons that are on board the incursionary vessel.This ship may veer off that current course and head elsewhere, or it could be meant to test the US oil blockade, intentionally poking at what seems to be an impenetrable barrier, to see if it's all just talk. Even if just that one tanker makes it through, it's carrying enough oil to provide about a week's worth of energy to the Cuban people, which could serve as a sort of release valve on the pressure-cooker stress that has led to the aforementioned protests against the government.Most analysts expect this and future vessels will turn off when formally confronted, though, and this isn't the first ship that's attempted to break this new blockade of Cuba; and previous attempters have indeed pulled off before a shot was fired by the blockading fleet.Trump has in recent weeks said that he believes he'll be able to take Cuba, and/or do whatever he wants to the island and its people, and that could just be talk, or it could be that, like in Venezuela, and to some degree Iran, many of the locals would welcome that kind of change, despite the violence and suffering that would no doubt come with it.In the meantime, though, millions of Cubans are going without reliable energy, food, medical care, and other modern necessities, which could push them to take the risk of revolutionary action, but it could also turn them against the outside enemy, reinforcing support for the tyrannical Cuban government against the harmful and oppressive actions of the American military, rather than nudging them into government overthrow.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platt_Amendmenthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_embargo_against_Cubahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Cuban_crisishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisishttps://www.reuters.com/business/energy/cubas-national-electric-grid-collapses-says-grid-operator-2026-03-16https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/world/americas/cuba-fuel-blockade-aid-convoy.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/travel/cuba-flights-travel-advice-power-oil.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/americas/cuba-says-its-presidents-term-not-subject-negotiation-talks-with-us-2026-03-20/https://www.dw.com/en/cuba-faces-economic-collapse-as-us-oil-blockade-hits-tourism/video-76398387 This is a public episode.

Many years ago, we did an episode about the legends of the Balkans. We thought it would be interesting to go across the Black Sea and explore the legends of the Caucasus. The Caucasus is a region of Eastern Europe and Western Asia that includes the countries of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Southern Russia. This region is steeped in folklore, mythology, and legends and that isn't surprising because the history here is one of struggle, war, conquest and the precarious victory of independence. Paganism gave way to Christianization and cultural beliefs mixed. Join us as we explore the legends of the Caucasus! This Month in History features the sinking of the USS Maine.

HEADLINE: The Western Pacific as the New Inner German Border GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Captain Jerry Hendrix argues that the Western Pacific has replaced the Cold War's "Inner German Border" as the primary geography of global ideological and military competition. He traces the concept of the "Free Sea" back to Hugo Grotius's 1609 legal arguments, which established that the ocean cannot be owned like land—a principle that became foundational to the Enlightenment and modern global trade. Hendrix asserts that American naval primacy since 1945 has been essential in upholding this system, ensuring unencumbered commerce and significantly reducing global poverty, a status quo now under threat.1911 USS MAINE, HAVANA HARBOR

Commodities, AI Demand, and UK Political Turmoil Guest: Simon Constable Simon Constable reported on market trends with energy prices significantly down but metals like copper and steel consistently higher, reflecting strong demand particularly for AI data center construction, while future chocolate prices are projected to rise due to "transcontinental climate change" linking Amazon deforestation to political instability in major cocoa regions like the DRC, and in UK politics, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faces constant internal revolts and distrust due to policy flip-flops, tax increases, and failure to solve the immigration problem. 1911 HAVANA. USS MAINE

Clara Barton, the founder of the Red Cross, was in Havana in 1898, investigating the terrible conditions endured by Cubans whom the Spanish government had forced into concentration camps, where an estimated 425,000 people died of disease and starvation. While she was there, the American warship USS Maine exploded in Havana's harbor, which served as the pretext for an American invasion, leading to the Spanish-American War. The United States swiftly invaded and won the Spanish-American War in Cuba in 1898 due to its superior naval power, the decisive charge led by Theodore Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" at San Juan Hill, and the crucial assistance from Cuban insurgents against the already exhausted Spanish forces. In the wake of the Spanish-American war, the United States freed Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines from Spanish control and, in turn, became an empire. This created beliefs that America was a stern yet benevolent country tasked by Destiny to enforce peace and bring prosperity to the world. That comforting thought was soon disproven, especially in the Philippines, whose people discovered they had merely swapped one colonial power for another. They then endured a vicious war that saw an estimated 600,000 Filipino deaths. Whereas the Cuban campaign brought glory to Theodore Roosevelt at San Juan Hill, “the Philippine War would be America’s most quickly forgotten war, the one least celebrated in song or legend, the one least memorialized.” And for good reason, Jackson recounts: American soldiers committed countless atrocities while being felled right and left by disease and starvation themselves; many soldiers committed suicide, and others deserted to join Filipino rebels. Today’s guest is Joe Jackson, author of “Splendid Liberators: Heroism, Betrayal, Resistance, and the Birth of the American Empire.” We look at this decisive war that turned American into a global power, and how poor planning turned into a disaster in the Philippines, creating our first quagmire of a war, long before Iraq or Vietnam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Politik und Medien im Westen heizen die Kriegshysterie anEin Kommentar von Tilo Gräser.Kann es sein, dass der kollektive Westen, ob mit oder ohne US-Führung, einen Krieg gegen Russland vorbereitet? Einen Krieg, für den ein Anlass geschaffen wird, wenn es soweit ist, wie einst beispielsweise mit dem Anschlag auf die USS „Maine“ 1898, mit dem Überfall auf den Sender Gleiwitz 1939 oder dem Zwischenfall im Golf von Tonkin 1964? Mit diesen und anderen Vorfällen wurden Kriege begründet – hinterher kam raus, dass sie gefälscht beziehungsweise klassische False-Flag-Operationen waren. Aber da war es längst zu spät, Millionen Menschen waren getötet, millionenfaches Leid angerichtet und Länder zerstört.Ich stellte mir diese Frage, nachdem ich mehrere ehemalige Militärs und Sicherheitsexperten hörte, die vehement der von Regierungen von EU- und NATO-Staaten verbreiteten Behauptung widersprachen, Russland bereite in den nächsten Jahren einen Angriff auf den Westen vor. Dafür würden schon Pläne ausgearbeitet wie der „Operationsplan Deutschland“, über den zwar manches zu lesen war, der aber geheim bleibt. Da werden gar Jahreszahlen genannt und sollen Milliarden ausgegeben werden, um „kriegstüchtig“ zu werden – natürlich nur zur Verteidigung, um Russland abzuschrecken, heißt es.Davon reden regierende Politiker, sogenannte Militärexperten und mit den regierenden verbundene Mainstream-Journalisten. Ehemalige hochrangige westliche Offiziere wie Harald Kujat oder Erich Vad und auch frühere Außenpolitiker wie Klaus von Dohnanyi oder Günter Verheugen erklären das dagegen für Unsinn. Eines ihrer Argumente ist, dass es keinerlei Aussagen von Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin über mögliche Pläne für den Angriff auf den Westen gibt. Sie machen zum anderen darauf aufmerksam, Russland sei militärisch dazu auch gar nicht in der Lage, was der langsame Vormarsch in der Ukraine zeige und das Kräfteverhältnis mit der NATO in Westeuropa belege.Eine im Februar dieses Jahres veröffentlichte Studie der Organisation Greenpeace fand heraus, dass „die NATO in fast allen Dimensionen Russland überlegen ist – und trotzdem weiter aufrüsten will“. Danach hätte Russland gar keine Chance, wenn in Moskau jemand auf die Idee käme, den Westen angreifen zu wollen. Wenn dem so ist, wozu dann die angekündigte milliardenschwere Aufrüstung? Wirklich nur, weil den Wirtschaftspolitikern des Westens nichts anderes einfällt, um die selbst verursachte Wirtschaftskrise zu bewältigen und weil die Rüstungsmilliarden der eigenen Bevölkerung nur mit Hilfe der „russischen Gefahr“ übergeholfen werden können?Geschieht das wirklich nur, weil seit langem Angst das bevorzugte Mittel der Herrschenden und Mächtigen im Westen ist, um die eigene Bevölkerung unter Druck und Kontrolle zu halten? Oder steht dahinter, was noch immer hinter den Kriegen des Kapitalismus steckte: Überfall, um zu erobern und den Gegner zu zerstören, um ihn als Konkurrenten auszuschalten und sich seine Reichtümer anzueignen zum eigenen Profit?...https://apolut.net/auf-dem-weg-nach-gleiwitz-von-tilo-graser/ Hosted on Acast.

NEWS WEAKLY 159 – EDITORIAL EDITIONA podcast where we punch the news in the headlines… weakly.Title: The Hypernormalisation of Journalistic Jingoism Summary:A few weeks ago, India and Pakistan were one bad decision away from nuclear war. But you wouldn't know that from the news coverage. You'd think Karachi had been flattened, Pakistani generals were surrendering en masse, and Indian fighter jets had laser-blasted their way to the gates of Islamabad—if you watched Indian TV news, that is. Spoiler: none of it happened. What did happen was a masterclass in disinformation, state propaganda, media jingoism, and the dangerous, ridiculous, terrifying theatre of war-as-content.In this special editorial edition, Sami Shah takes a blowtorch to the concept of hypernormalisation—where fake news becomes realer than truth, and everyone knows it's bullshit but plays along anyway. From the USS Maine to Vietnam, from Colin Powell's slideshow to Karachi's imaginary destruction to from Pakistan's own delusions—we trace the long, painful, deeply stupid history of war narratives shaped not by fact, but by flag-waving fantasy.And we end where it matters most: here in Australia. With one last bastion against this wave of reality-denial. A flawed, bald-headed, beige-toned but vital institution: the ABC. Why public broadcasting matters more than ever. And why we lose it at our peril.Quote of the Week:“I don't know why but there needs to be a study into whether approving another season of Hard Quiz results in male pattern baldness or being bald predisposes one to approving another season of Spicks and Specks.”Support the ShowLike your news satire free-range, cruelty-free, and ad-free?Join the News Weakly Patreon at patreon.com/samishah for scripts, exclusives, and bonus content.CreditsSami Shah is a multi-award-winning comedian, writer, journalist, and broadcaster.For more: http://thesamishah.comTheme music “Historic Anticipation” by Paul MottramThis podcast is written, hosted, and produced by Sami Shah.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob responds to the recent debate between Dave Smith and Douglas Murray on the Joe Rogan Experience, using it as a springboard to explore the deeper issues at play: narrative control, revisionist history, blowback, and the Christian response to war. Jacob unpacks why labeling alternative historical perspectives as "conspiracy theories" is often a power move to shut down dissent, not a defense of truth. Drawing from Scripture, he highlights examples where those in power—from David and Saul to the Sanhedrin and Herod—manipulated narratives to protect themselves. He then connects these biblical patterns to modern history, pointing to the USS Maine, the Iraq War, and the way states manufacture consent for war through deception.Jacob also explores how blowback works—not only in America's foreign policy but in Israel's handling of Gaza and Hamas. He breaks down the roots of Hamas's rise to power, Israel's role in preserving the group's political dominance, and how these decisions contributed to the horrors of October 7th. Throughout the episode, he calls out the dangers of collectivism, especially in labeling all Palestinians as terrorists, and explains why biblical justice rejects collective guilt. From the weaponization of antisemitism to the idolization of "experts," this episode challenges listeners to seek the truth, love their enemies, and walk the narrow road of peace and prophetic witness in a time of tribalism and propaganda.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

Spansk-amerikanska kriget 1898 utlöstes av en olycka den 15 februari när det amerikanska pansarskeppet USS Maine exploderade och sjönk i Havannas hamn på Kuba. Kuba var spansk och det amerikanska fartyget var på plats för att skydda amerikanska intressen och amerikanska medborgare.Händelsen blev den tändande gnistan i en konflikt mellan Spanien och USA om in flytandet i Västindien och på Filippinerna. Kriget 1898 skapade ett amerikanskt imperium och avslutade Spaniens ställning som kolonialmakt på det västra halvklotet.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden pratar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om ett kort men ändå på många sätt betydelsefullt krig. Kanske tillhör det spansk-amerikanska kriget 1898 de lite bortglömda militära konflikter som trots allt har fått stora konsekvenser.USA tog i och med kriget på allvar steget fullt ut mot att bli en imperiemakt. Detta var inte en självklarhet. USA hade under 1700-talets slut skapats genom en frihetskamp bort från det brittiska styret. Nu i slutet av 1800-talet fanns starka krafter som ville utveckla USA till en imperiemakt.Kriget 1898 brukar i Spanien betecknas som den stora katastrofen. Spanien var långt ifrån sina fornstora dagar på 1500- och 1600-talet då landet var en ledande stat i Europa och världen. Kriget mot USA kom synnerligen ovälkommet och den spanska regimen hade inga resurser att föra kriget, men måste samtidigt anta utmaning för att inte riskera att få hemmaopinionen mot sig.Krigets utgång med förlusten av allt det som återstod av besittningarna i Västindien och Filippinerna innebar att Spanien var en europeiska stat med mindre områden i Nordafrika. En mental kris infall sig som faktiskt i slutänden tvärtemot vad man hade kunnat tänka sig stärkte spanjorerna. Ur katastrofen 1898 föddes en vitaliserat Spanien. Den nya generationen av spanjorer blickade framåt och lade imperiet bakom sig.Kriget blev ur militär synvinkel en blygsam historia. Framföra allt handlade det om hur den överlägsna amerikansk flottan snabbt besegrade den spansk flottan. På Kuba landsteg en amerikansk expeditionskår som så småningom kunde intag Santiago. På Filippinerna kontrollerades Manila snabbt, men det amerikanska maktövertagandet blev inte så enkelt på övriga delar av ögruppen. På kriget 1898 följde ett inbördeskrig mot filippinska separatister som inte ville leva under amerikanskt styre.Den som vill läsa vidare kan med fördel välja Angus Konstams San Juan Hill 1898 : America's emergence as a world power (1998) eller Joseph Smith The Spanish-American War : conflict in the Caribbean and the Pacific, 1895-1902 (1994).Lyssna också på Kom ihåg Alamo – nederlaget som byggde Texas.Bild: Spanskt infanteri på Filipinerna under Spansk-amerikanska kriget 1898, Wikipedia, Public Domain.

GOOD EVENING. The show begins in Ukraine, where an assassination plan against Zelensky did not succeed on the same day Putin was inaugurated. To Gaza, where the US is threatening to withhold supplies. To Beijing buying gold; to Moscow looking at a grim future with one customer for its gas. To Belarus; to the South China Sea and trials for the new carrier of the PLA Navy, Fujian. To Washington, Taipei, Beijing again. To the protests that defaced a Central Park statue dedicated to the 107th Infantry Regiment of WWI. To Europe and space engineering startups. To Caracas, Brasilia, Buenos Aires, Lima. 1911 Wreck of the USS Maine, Havana Harbor

In this episode, we delve into an event that marked a profound shift in America's role on the global stage—the sinking of the USS Maine.  Set sail with us to the late 19th century, when the United States was but a budding world power, and Cuba was ablaze with rebellion against Spanish rule. We'll drop anchor in Havana, where the USS Maine met her tragic end in an explosion that claimed the lives of 260 sailors. We will scrutinize the question that gripped a nation: was this a sinister act of sabotage, or a catastrophic accident?  Navigate the murky waters of initial investigations and their conflicting conclusions. Then, we'll steer you through the media storm fuelled by Yellow Journalism that whipped the public sentiment into a fury, bearing the slogan 'Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain!'  Finally, reflect on this watershed moment that plunged America into the Spanish-American War, altering the course of the nation's history. The epochal sinking of the USS Maine, far more than a naval disaster, stands as a symbol of America's transformation into a formidable global power.

A train was speeding along the tracks in 19th-century England when a passenger suddenly started smashing windows and waving a pistol in the air. People believed his actions were caused by what was, at the time, a new and unfamiliar form of transportation. Doctors posited the rattling motion and noise of trains could cause passengers to act erratically, creating the short-lived but popular myth of "railway madness."In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at how people often overreact to poor quality or incomplete information.A sudden explosion in 1889 ripped apart the USS Maine, the United States' largest warship at the time. The ship sank, killing more than half of the sailors on board. The Maine had been anchored in Cuba, and despite having little proof, the American public immediately blamed the Spanish for the sinking. Newspaper editors published headlines such as "Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain!" Nearly a hundred years later, an underwater investigation would reveal what likely caused the explosion.Historian David Silbey recounts how public pressure from this tragedy pushed the United States to make a decision that would have lasting consequences for the world. David Silbey is a military historian and adjuncta professor and director of teaching and learning at Cornell University. He is also the author of A War of Frontier and Empire: The Philippine-American War, 1899-1902. His new book is called Wars Civil and Great: The American Experience in the Civil War and World War I. Next, Katy speaks with Ned Augenblick about his research that shows people's tendency to overreact to weakly supported information and underreact to strongly supported information. You can read more in the paper he co-authored with Eben Lazarus and Michael Thaler, called "Overinference from Weak Signals and Underinference from Strong Signals." Ned Augenblick is a professor in the Economic Analysis and Policy Group at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab. If you enjoy the show, please leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts.Important DisclosuresThe comments, views, and opinions expressed in the presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent the views of Charles Schwab.​Data contained herein from third party providers is obtained from what are considered reliable source.

"An Organic Democracy"? "Space is different. Come to Spain." Spain's ignominious defeat in 1898 was an utter shock to Spaniards. Hopes of two republics vanished with civil war, and Franco's “Organic Democracy” gave way to Spain's Golden Age that was ultimately supplanted by polarized politics and inconclusive elections. Dr. Julio Ponce of the University of Seville places Spain's polarized politics in the perspective of its near past history. In this episode, we uncover the history behind the following: Was Spain the World's First Truly Global Empire? Why Seville Was the Wall Street of the 16th Century. How America's defeat of Spain in 1898 shocked Spaniards. They called it "the disaster". Who was responsible for the explosion of the USS Maine in Havana, which led to the Spanish-American War? How does the Spanish Empire's decline compare to the British Empire's decline? Why sus Franco support Franco during the Spanish Civil War? Spain's slogan during Franco's dictatorship: “Spain is different. Come to Spain.” How Spain was a Kingdom Without a King! How did Spain transition from a dictatorship to a democracy? How does Spain's Decentralized Unitary System compare to a federal system? What is Spain's current challenge in its judicial system? When was Spain's modern Golden Age and what happened to it?

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-what-ails-united-states-poor-leadership-or-malign-forces-12211192.htmlThere has been a whole series of alarming news stories from the US in the recent past. Each of them individually may have good reasons, but put together, they paint a disappointing picture. As someone who has long rooted for America, I am concerned about systemic problems..Here the stories are, in random order:* The appearance of Chinese balloons and other Unidentified Flying Objects in the sky* The publication of the accusation that the US blew up the NordStream 2 pipeline* The spectacle of former Twitter executives being grilled for unlawful censorship* The train crash that spewed a million liters of poisonous liquids into the air and ground* The mass shooting at Michigan State, one of manyBalloongate#Balloongate was intriguing when it was disclosed that a Chinese balloon with an attached payload had meandered its way across the entire United States before it was shot down on February 4th by an F-22, which incidentally is the most impressive fighter jet in the US air force. If I am not mistaken, people on the ground could actually see the balloon with the naked eye. Like many others, I wonder why the thing was allowed to be airborne for a week over the US mainland. But it started taking on more sinister overtones when it turned out that three more such objects were shot down, that there had been some incursions during the tenure of former President Trump as well, and that this was apparently a regular occurrence. Surely nations spy on each other all the time, but the victims of spying generally know how to deal with it.I was reminded of the U2 episode long ago, with American Francis Gary Powers being shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960 in his high-flying plane. This touch-and-go international incident flared up into one more Cold War spat. But the point is that nations can and do protect themselves from spies up in the sky. Then why didn't the most vaunted military force in history shoot these balloon intruders down upon first encountering them? What were the spy satellites doing with their killer lasers? What was the advice given by military intelligence to President Joe Biden? Why didn't Biden bestir himself? Why didn't they puncture the balloon over land so that its payload could be captured and inspected? Or did they not want the payload to be captured? Online skeptics had a field day. For example, In the end, the whole episode became rather comical, and the US air force, military intelligence and the brand-new Space Command looked incompetent, a bit Keystone-Cop-ish. Is that why they then proceeded, in a show of strength, to shoot down several more ‘UFO's? Many questions remain unanswered. The latest reports suggest the last few were for mere show. Nordstream 2The detailed story alleging the US destruction of Nordstream 2 (written by Seymour Hersh) is worrying and potentially very consequential. Hersh was in the past celebrated as a journalist, winning a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam; but his claim that the capture of Osama bin Laden was staged did not gain much credibility. But the point is that the US and Russia are not at war, and a straightforward attack by an undeclared combatant on the physical assets of an adversary may be treated as a declaration of war. Let us remember that iconic event in 20th century US history: the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The US felt that was a good enough reason to enter World War II.The 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident (which may have been fake news of an attack on US naval ships) was the trigger for the US to enter the Vietnam War. Earlier, William Randolph Hearst in 1898 (falsely) claimed Spain sank the USS Maine to induce  the Spanish-American War. Thus there is precedent in American history itself for an unprovoked attack being taken as reason for hostilities and a declaration of war. My concern is that the Russians, embroiled though they are in Ukraine, may consider the Nordstream incident to be sufficient justification for war, or possibly sabotage, in the US (see below). There are discreet ways of unrestricted warfare. Media censorshipThe malign role media can play, as also seen in the Hearst story above, was brought into sharp relief in the Congressional hearings on Twitter's suppressio veri, suggestio falsi. Clips circulating on the Net showed members of Congress tearing into former Twitter executives in charge of wokeness and censorship, Vijaya Gadde and Yoel Roth, for illegally limiting their Freedom of Speech. Much has been said in this context via the Twitter Files, released online.The deliberate suppression of news seems to be the in-thing in today's America. We remember how highly damaging information about the Hunter Biden laptop was swept under the carpet. Similarly, medical professionals were made personae non grata and deplatformed when they spoke against the excesses of Covid mania (a Congressperson asked Vijaya Gadde where she got her medical degree from so she could silence Harvard and Stanford medical professors!).In addition, there is the damning Columbia Journalism Review report by Pulitzer Prize winner Jeff Gerth about how the entire media gaslighted the country regarding alleged Russian collusion with former President Trump. The media is no longer about “all the news fit to print”.The massive spill that nobody has heard ofA splendid example of that phenomenon is happening under our very noses now as the mainstream media has totally suppressed the information about the February 3rd rail accident near East Palestine, Ohio. This may well be the biggest chemical spill in recent American history. Piecing together information from diverse sources online, it appears several cars of a train carrying vinyl chloride derailed. It seems that a million liters of vinyl chloride may have been spilled, and the chemical is highly reactive, although used as an ingredient in the making of stable poly-vinyl chloride, a common plastic. Not only will this have got into the groundwater, and into the nearby Ohio river watershed, which means trouble downstream (dead fish are showing up in the waterways). Significant amounts of the chemical burned, and have formed hazardous clouds which may be carried along by prevailing winds. This may well be a disaster as big as the Love Canal chemical dump near Niagara Falls some time ago, although not as big as the Chernobyl or Fukushima nuclear disasters. Yet, 20 days later, there is almost no coverage in the US media. Why? It's like the Sherlock Holmes meme of “the curious incident of dog in the night time”. The dog didn't bark because it knew the perpetrator of a crime. But the real question is, is this spill a coincidence? Or is it possible that either Russians or the Chinese are ‘punishing' the US with plausible deniability? The Chinese have enough fifth columnists in the US to do anything they want; the Russians may or may not have them. Of course it could simply be the result of poor maintenance and lax regulation. Fingers were pointed at Pete Buttigieg, the hapless Transportation honcho, but the real reason may well be a consequence of the wholesale transfer of manufacturing to China.Anyway, the root cause may be the Ukraine war in one case (Russia) or general pre-2024 election interference in the other case (China). The US would be better off spending the $44 billion it has already earmarked for Ukraine on its own turf to fix creaking infrastructure or health systems. Or in doing something about its law and order problems. There was yet another unfortunate mass shooting incident, this time at Michigan State. Why do these happen with such metronomic regularity in the US (and pretty much nowhere else)?Is it poor leadership? Or are many malign forces attacking the country? Or is it just decadence and decline? Voters need to think this through as they prepare for Election 2024. Well, there's Biden, and Trump, Nikki Haley, and now Vivek Ramaswamy.

We discuss the USS Maine false flag. The Maine was a United States Navy ship that sank in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898, contributing to the outbreak of the Spanish–American War in April. U.S. newspapers, engaging in yellow journalism to boost circulation, claimed that the Spanish were responsible for the ship's destruction.Email us: thefacthunter@mail.com

And so on April 24th 1898 the United States and Spain went to war over Cuba. There was no need for the U.S. to enact conscription as it would do in later wars, Spurred on by a belief that Spain had murdered Americans on the USS Maine, hundreds of thousands, maybe up to a million young men volunteered.    There were substantial American commercial interests in Cuba, mostly agricultural and in railways, totaling around one and a half billion dollars in today's money. Cuban rebels were talking about that most dreaded of things—land redistribution.   Notes: Overthrow and The True Flag by Stephen Kinzer   Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy by Murray Rothbard   Crucible of Empire: The Spanish American War   Remember the Maine, by Adam Graham   Donations in support of the show can be made at: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=ZL2DQE3EK446C

This week we're joined by Jordon of the 805UNCENSORED podcast, who tells the story of media mogul William Randolph Hearst. After inheriting wealth and a newspaper from his father, Hearst builds a ruthless media empire. He comes to own a quarter of the newspapers in America, reaching 20 million readers daily. Popularizing the term “Yellow Journalism” – a highly sensationalized form of reporting – Hearst even peddles a myth about the Spanish attacking the USS Maine to catapult America into war with Spain. His greed-based racism drives his campaign to demonize weed, which he refers to as “marijuana” in order to associate the drug with immigrants from Mexico. Tune in to hear more about this ruthless, racist capitalist.You can find 805UNCENSORED on Apple, Spotify, and wherever you podcast. You can follow the show on Instagram and Twitter.Shoutout to our anticapitalist bartender friend, Jesse Torres ( @jessejamz ), who did a beautiful job of improving the Hearst Cocktail!

Hello, and welcome to This Day in History. Here's what happened on February 15th. The term “fake news” has been thrown around a lot over the past several years, but the concept isn't necessarily new. On this day in 1898, the Navy battleship USS Maine exploded and sank in Cuba's Havana Harbor, killing some 260 crew. Almost immediately, so-called yellow journalists published sensational headlines blaming Spain for the tragedy, and within a couple of months, the Spanish-American War had begun.
