Sit back, and try to imagine an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit where Olivia Benson, be she Detective or Sergeant or Lieutenant or Captain, finds herself held captive in a hostage situation. Go ahead. Any scenario that could land her in the middle of a standoff with just her wits (and SWAT standing by) to get her out of the situation.Now, in that hypothetical situation you concocted in your head, things happened to get her there, right? Well, "Townhouse Incident" presupposes a scenario wherein Liv finds herself in a hostage situation in MINUTE TWO.Yes, you read that right. The 2:12 mark, in fact.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and US Diplomat Henry Kissinger will not make it to 2024. Both these power brokers of White Supremacy died this week and were recognized for their lives of service. While O'Connor is celebrated for being the first White Woman on the highest court of the land #AffirmativeAction , Kissinger is the subject of substantially more criticism for his role in bombing legions of non-white people in Vietnam and Cambodia. We'll also discuss the felony assault charges filed against a White Kansas teen who was recorded verbally attacking and physically assaulting a black female student of Shawnee Mission East High School. It was reported that 1,000 students walked out of class in the region in protest of the Racist attack. It's reported that the black girl was suspended from school for five days for retaliating. #Kansas #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Putin lost a longtime friend and confidant, the only American statesman he respected and admired. Why might these two have hit if off? War criminal Henry Kissinger, like Putin, was responsible for millions of deaths and backing some of the most brutal regimes in the world. The foreign policy establishment here in the U.S. and in Europe have blood on their hands for normalizing Kissinger, like Putin, for far too long.  For a refresher on Kissinger's legacy, which was revealed to be even worse than previously known, listen to the Gaslit Nation spring 2023 interview with investigative journalist Nick Turse on his reporting for The Intercept into the generational trauma of Kissinger in Cambodia. Not content to prolong the Vietnam war, Kissinger spread the conflict to formally neutral Cambodia, helping bring to power the repressive Khmer Rouge. Add to that his enabling of genocides in East Timor and Bangladesh, as well as backing dictators and murder squads in Latin America. It's obvious why he was also a fan of Trump. All this is to say, where were you when you first heard the news that Kissinger will no longer be advising other war criminals, and how did you celebrate?  Andrea shares a story of spotting Kissinger at a party while holding a throwable glass of wine in her hand, and why it's important to celebrate the demise of war criminals–that's how you build a culture to prevent future war criminals. The Patreon-only portion of this week's bonus episode features comments and questions from our listeners at the Democracy Defender level and higher. Topics range from turning our current rollercoaster of living history into the next Nineteen Eighty-Four, celebrating our acts of civil resistance, books to read to find your voice in the world, and more!

It's fairly well known that some Canadians fought with the American armed forces in Vietnam, but fewer know about Canada's official peacekeeping role there. But between 1954 and 1973, close to 2000 Canadians went to Vietnam to observe and safeguard peace accords. Erin Moore's grandfather, Doug, was one of them. He wrote dozens of letters home documenting the realities of the war. Erin still has his letters. They reveal a demanding and at times impossible mission, being carried out by young men whose efforts have largely been forgotten.

Bob Moriarty believes that there is a significant conflict between the debt-based system of countries like the UK and the US, and the resource-based system of the BRICS and global South countries. He believes this conflict started with the NATO attack on Russia and can be seen in the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Israel. He questions the motives behind NATO using aircraft carriers to threaten Gaza instead of other countries like Iran or Syria. He also expresses concerns that this conflict could escalate into World War III, with smaller players in the Middle East having an oversized impact due to their control over key strategic areas like the Red Sea. Bob believes that nobody ever truly wins in a war and hopes for a peaceful solution. He sees parallels between the UK's long-term rationing following WWII and fears that a similar circumstance could lead to another world war, especially considering the number of international players and incentives surrounding the Suez Canal area. He claims that Israel and the US want a "final solution" for Palestine, not unlike the US-led destruction of Iraq which resulted in millions of refugees. Bob expresses deep concerns about the possibility of banks closing and the chaos that could follow. He believes that if the Arabs were to turn off the oil supply, the world would experience a cold winter. He also discusses the Fed's decision to raise interest rates in an unprecedented way and suggests that it has destroyed the value of bonds and caused banks to take on extreme debt. Bob suggests that UBS Bank in Switzerland has been refusing to pay back depositors, indicating a broader liquidity crisis in the banking system. He believes that there is a lack of hedging and risk-management in regards to derivative instruments, which has pushed the system closer to crisis. Bob argues against the viability of renewable energy and electric vehicles, stating that they are financially unfeasible without government subsidies and would require significant environmental impact. He believes that nuclear power is the most economically viable and environmentally friendly energy source. He believes that the financial system is broken and in need of adult leadership and a better solution, including a decrease in US debt. Bob sees the current situation as part of a recurring pattern and believes that the best government is the one that interferes least. Talking Points From This Episode Bob believes that nobody ever wins a war, and that the current situation in the Middle East is perpetuated by US and NATO military intervention. Bob suggests investing in gold stocks and recommends investing in what's "hated the most" is a viable financial strategy. The best government is the one that governs the least.

Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state under Richard Nixon, died at the age of 100 this week. One of the most famous and powerful diplomats of the 20th century, some will remember him as the person who won a Nobel peace prize for his work negotiating the end of the Vietnam war. For others, he will forever be known as a war criminal. So what is Kissinger's legacy? This week, Jonathan Freedland speaks to journalist and author Michael Goldfarb about how Kissinger came to be one of the most powerful people of the 20th century, and why back in the 1970s he had the opportunity to criticise the man to his face – and chose not to. Does he regret staying quiet?

No es habitual que un simple secretario de Estado se asegure la inmortalidad. De los 71 que han pasado por el cargo sólo un puñado se recuerdan con nombre y apellidos. Algunos porque tras ser secretarios de Estado accedieron a la presidencia. Ese fue el caso de James Madison, John Quincy Adams o James Monroe. Otros porque les tocó lidiar con asuntos de la máxima importancia en periodos convulsos. Cordel Hull, por ejemplo, fue el secretario de Estado de Franklin Delano Roosevelt durante más de una década, desde 1933 hasta finales de 1944. Casi toda la segunda guerra mundial pasó por la mesa de su despacho y sus gestiones alumbraron la Organización de las Naciones Unidas. Poco después entre Dean Acheson y John Foster Dulles se encargaron de diseñar la arquitectura de posguerra. Hombres singulares para momentos críticos. Esa es la razón por la que se les recuerda. Con Henry Kissinger sucedió algo similar, pero con él se dieron algunas peculiaridades. La primera que entre su salida de la Casa Blanca y su muerte transcurrió casi medio siglo, tiempo más que suficiente para pasar al olvido. Pero no fue así. Kissinger se las apañó durante todo ese tiempo para estar siempre de actualidad. La segunda su origen. Kissinger no era estadounidense de nacimiento, sino alemán. Vino al mundo en una pequeña ciudad de Baviera en 1923. No pertenecía a la burguesía acomodada ni tenía relación alguna con el poder. Su padre era un simple maestro de escuela que decidió marcharse junto a toda su familia unos años después de que los nazis llegasen a la cancillería. Una vez en Estados Unidos los Kissinger se establecieron en Nueva York. Allí el joven Heinz, el nombre que figuraba en su certificado de nacimiento, hizo la educación secundaria y estudió contabilidad con la idea de emplearse en alguna empresa de la City. Había llegado a Estados Unidos con quince años, hablaba inglés a la perfección, pero mantenía un ligero acento alemán que le acompañó hasta su muerte. No parecía alguien llamado a grandes gestas, un contable judeoalemán, emigrante de primera generación y extracción modesta. Pero en 1941 Estados Unidos entró en la guerra. Año y medio después fue llamado a filas y asignado en los servicios de inteligencia. Tres años pasó en Europa y llegó incluso a gobernar de forma interina la ciudad de Krefeld, en el valle del Rin, ya que los aliados no tenían demasiados efectivos que hablasen alemán con fluidez. En la guerra descubrió su verdadera vocación, la de entender cómo funcionaba el mundo y pensar el modo de influir sobre los acontecimientos. Se empleó como analista en la Fundación Rockefeller y eso le llevó de cabeza a la política. Nelson Rockefeller, el nieto del fundador de la Standard Oil, aspiraba a la presidencia del país y fichó a Kissinger como uno de sus asesores. Fracasó tres veces, pero su contrincante, un californiano llamado Richard Nixon, se fijó en el brillante consejero de Rockefeller y le llamó a su lado. Le puso al frente de la oficina de Seguridad Nacional y luego le nombró secretario de Estado. Desde ahí desplegó la doctrina de la “realpolitik”, en virtud de la cual, la política exterior no debía dirigirse desde los sentimientos ni las convicciones morales, sino desde la evaluación correcta de las fuerzas propias y ajenas. Eso le llevó a aconsejar a Nixon que se entendiese con la China popular, que serviría de valladar frente a los soviéticos. Se bautizó a aquella política como distensión. La guerra fría iba para largo y ambas potencias tenían que convivir respetando mutuamente sus áreas de influencia. La URSS recogió el guante y aceptó esa distensión. Pero mientras aflojaba la rivalidad entre Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética en otras partes del mundo surgieron infinidad de problemas. Algunos heredados como la guerra de Vietnam, a la que Kissinger puso fin llevándose como premio un Nobel de la Paz, o el conflicto entre árabes e israelíes, que resolvió magistralmente forjando un acuerdo histórico entre Anwar el-Sadat y Menájem Beguin. Otros eran de nuevo cuño como la guerra de independencia de Bangladés o las dictaduras militares en Hispanoamérica. Kissinger combinó grandes aciertos con errores estrepitosos, pero esto último no le impidió convertirse en una celebridad mundial y un autor de éxito. Su historia personal es en buena medida la historia de un siglo. Eso mismo es lo que vamos a ver hoy en La ContraHistoria.

One of my favorite teachings by Jim Collins is that of the Stockdale Paradox.It's really counterintuitive, but I reread it fairly regularly because it helps ground me, especially when I feel like I'm struggling a bit. It's a story that comes from Vietnam veteran, Admiral Jim Stockdale.I go through the paradox from Jim Stockdale in today's podcast episode.If you're coach or consultant, you know the journey to the top is not linear…it's full of bumps and barriers.This will help have some clarity when you hit those challenges that lie ahead.

Il incarnait à sa manière le rêve américain. Émigré juif américain, fils d'un instituteur bavarois, il était devenu l'un des diplomates les plus puissants du XXe siècle. Henry Kissinger est mort à 100 ans, ce 29 novembre 2023.Secrétaire d'État de Richard Nixon puis de Gérald Ford, artisan du rapprochement entre les blocs Est et Ouest, de Washington et de Pékin, il fut couronné en 1973 d'un prix Nobel aussi controversé que l'ensemble de sa carrière.Car comme Goethe, «Dear Henry», figure de la realpolitik, préférait l'injustice au désordre: les vies humaines et les principes des démocraties libérales ne comptaient plus quand il s'agissait de protéger les intérêts de son pays et la stabilité du monde. Bombardements massifs du Vietnam et du Cambodge, soutien au coup d'État de Pinochet au Chili, aux dictatures sud-américaines et à l'invasion du Timor oriental par l'Indonésie, Kissinger avait fait le choix d'un pragmatisme confinant au cynisme.Malgré la fin de ses fonctions officielles après la victoire de Jimmy Carter et sa possible implication dans l'affaire du Watergate, il continuera à influencer durablement les relations internationales.En dépit des controverses, nombreux furent les hommages à Washington, Londres, Paris, Moscou et Pékin pour celui qui murmurait à l'oreille des chefs d'État du monde entier.Le monde devant soi est un podcast hebdomadaire d'actualité internationale présenté par Christophe Carron, avec Jean-Marie Colombani, directeur de la publication de Slate.fr, et Alain Frachon, éditorialiste au Monde spécialisé dans les questions internationales.Direction et production éditoriale: Christophe CarronPrise de son, montage et réalisation: Aurélie RodriguesPrésentation: Christophe CarronMusique: «Sinister», Anno Domini BeatsSi vous aimez Le monde devant soi, pensez à l'exprimer en nous donnant la note maximale sur votre plateforme de podcast préférée, en en parlant autour de vous et en laissant vos commentaires sur les réseaux sociaux.Suivez Slate Podcasts sur Facebook et Instagram.

Greetings from Southeast Asia. After an unusual beginning of our trip, we landed in Singapore after 26 hrs of travel and 12 time zones. We began the land portion of the trip by adding two new countries to our growing list of visited countries. After traveling to Thailand, we made our way to Laos and Cambodia ending in Vietnam after almost 3 weeks. Returning to Singapore we picked up our 4 week cruise to Indonesia and Malaysia. We'll be sailing until December 23 when we return home just in time for the next podcast. We want to wish everyone a happy holiday season as holidays draw near.

China became known as the world's factory thanks to it offering companies a way to manufacture all kinds of goods at a high quality and relatively low cost. But in recent years, south-east Asian nations, including Vietnam and Indonesia, have begun challenging it for that status. Baillie Gifford investment manager Ben Durrant recently returned from a tour of the region. He discusses some of the long-term growth opportunities he unearthed on his trip. BackgroundBen Durrant invests on behalf of the Pacific Horizon Investment Trust, the Pacific Fund, and our Emerging Markets Equity Team. In this latest episode of Short Briefings on Long Term Thinking, he explores the factors that led China to become the world's leading exporter and how its move up the value chain is now creating opportunities for other south-east Asian countries to grasp. Durrant reviews some of his most memorable encounters in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand and reveals which growth companies excited him the most. They include businesses using mined metals to make car batteries, banks serving populations with growing spending power and, perhaps surprisingly, one of the world's leading catfish exporters.Resources: The Indonesian companies powering the green transitionBen Durrant LinkedIn pageHow Asia WorksHow the World Really WorksPast podcasts Timecodes:00:00        Introduction01:30      China's success as a low-cost exporter03:15        Land reform's role04:00        Good quality, low-cost labour05:45        South-east Asian countries' advantage07:15        Vietnam's growth opportunity09:30        Vin Hoan: exporting catfish11:45        Sourcing local insights13:30        Indonesia's move up the value chain16:15        Clusters of expertise in Malaysia18:00        Looking beyond tourism in Thailand20:15        Moving up the value chain22:15        The attraction of growth investing in southeast Asian23:15        Paying attention to macroeconomics24:30        Book recommendation Follow us via:TwitterLinkedIn Companies mentioned include:FPTHyundaiSamsung ElectronicsVinh Hoan

Born in Anaheim, California, Lew Gallo, and his family moved to the San Francisco area when he was nine years old. The move was not unfamiliar to Lew and his siblings. His parents were known to take Sunday drives. As it would get later in the day and no sign of his parents, Lew's oldest sister would start to cry but Lew was filled with excitement. This usually meant their parents had found a new home to buy, and for Lew, a new place to discover and new friends to make!It is this excitement of discovery and anticipation of meeting new people that has only flourished with time. After visiting Los Cabos on a quick weekend getaway with friends, Lew was captivated by the beauty of the ocean, terrain, and people of Baja Sur. The practically perfect weather and delicious cuisine only added to its allure. Lew went home, gave his notice at work, and was living in Cabo 3 months later.Now, with 4+ years of living the Cabo life, Lew has become known for bringing people together and sharing his love for all that is Cabo. He has earned a reputation for taking exceptional care of the buyers and sellers he represents, making sure to go the extra mile to get the best deal possible. Whether it's a high-rise condo or a high-end beachfront property, Lew knows the ins and outs of Los Cabos and the surrounding neighborhoods.Before entering real estate, Lew had a successful furniture and interior design career focusing on superior quality and unique sustainable design. He has a discerning eye for architecture and an appreciation of community. Combine that with a genuine concern for people and an ability to hear their specific needs and wants, and you see what drives Lew to be the best at what he does.Lew has had the opportunity to travel the world for both work and pleasure. For his design work, he spent a lot of time in Asia and Europe. During this time, he found a deep love for Vietnam and considered living there at one point. Luca Italy was also on his list of places to live but since his parents were getting up there in age, he wanted to focus on places closer to the US. After crossing PV and PS off of his list, he discovered San Jose del Cabo and knew he found his new home.Check out his website at www.gallo64.com El Pescadero, Mexico:Population: 4,245 (2020)Geography: Located on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico, about 8 kilometers south of Todos Santos and one hour north of Cabo San Lucas.Climate: Hot and dry summers, mild winters.

公眾微信號：EnglishfitDay 19: What have you manifested that you are super grateful for?第十九天：目前发生在你生命中最感谢的人／事是什么？Hello. You're listening to Fly with Lily. I'm your new friend Michael. I'm from Colorado in the United States. I'm in Chiang Mai, Thailand, now because this is where I have been dreaming of coming. I am learning to code right now, and in my free time, I like to do lots of things hiking, biking, and in Chiang Mai, motorbiking. My dream is to be here now in Chiang Mai in the winter. And today I'm asked a question by Lily, which is what have you manifested that you are super grateful for? And actually being here in Chiang Mai is the thing that I've manifested that I'm super grateful for. I have been living in climates with winter for my whole life and have been wanting to experience a year without winter. And so I'm here in Southeast Asia and am living my dream of being warm and not experiencing any snow. And, yeah, I feel really grateful for that and for all of the people that have helped me make that happen. So that's it. Thanks for listening.你好。你正在收听《与莉莉一起飞》。我是你的新朋友迈克尔。我来自美国科罗拉多州。我现在身处泰国清迈，因为这是我一直梦想来的地方。我目前正在学习编程，业余时间喜欢做很多事情，比如徒步、骑自行车，在清迈还喜欢骑摩托车。我的梦想是在冬天能够在清迈。今天，莉莉问了我一个问题，那就是你已经实现了什么让你非常感激的愿景？实际上，能够在清迈这个地方是我实现的让我非常感激的事情。我一直生活在有冬天的气候中，一直想体验一年没有冬天的生活。所以我来到了东南亚，正在实现我温暖、不见雪的梦想。是的，我为此感到非常感激，也感激所有帮助我实现这个梦想的人。就是这样。谢谢你的聆听。单词记忆：1.Motorbiking (骑摩托车)Definition: Riding a motorcycle or engaging in the activity of motorcycling.2.Manifested (实现)Definition: Brought into reality; made evident or certain.3.Grateful (感激的)Definition: Feeling or showing appreciation and thankfulness for something.4.Climate (气候)Definition: The long-term pattern of weather in a particular area.5.Experiencing (经历)Definition: Going through or participating in events, situations, or activities.6.Southeast Asia (东南亚)Definition: The region of Asia that includes countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and others.7.Climates (气候)Definition: The prevailing or typical weather conditions of a region.8.Yearn (渴望)Definition: Have an intense feeling of longing for something, typically something that one has lost or been separated from.今日感想：选择在东南亚打造自己的线上生意有许多原因，其中首要的是这里的生活成本相对较低，加上来自世界各地的人带来的文化多元，以及宜人的气候，尤其是没有冬天。和Michael一样，我非常感激能在这里生活，并且有机会结交志同道合的人，进而学习新语言和提升英语能力。今天和一位来自瑞士的朋友一同品尝咖啡，我们竟然在咖啡厅里用西班牙语、英语以及泰语进行轻松的交谈，这样的体验真的让我感到不可思议！若我身处台湾，除非在大城市，或许有机会创造这样的多元交流，但我并不是特别喜欢大都市的环境。相较之下，清迈虽然是泰国的第二大城市，但步调相对较慢，人们更愿意交流，更亲切热情。这真的是一个特别宜人的地方。

Just back from Jakarta and Hanoi, respectively, Gary and Hannah can confirm that South East Asian airports are getting busier as the end-of-year travel season nears. So, it's the perfect time to revisit some key tourism themes in 2023 with Bangkok-based travel journalist Vincent Vichit-Vadakan. Vincent was last on the show in April 2022, when the regional outlook was very different. This year, he has travelled on assignment to over 25 destinations including Singapore and Vietnam on various occasions, plus China, Nepal and Maldives. We discuss the current tourism landscape in Thailand, and the explosive international growth of a Bangkok-based hotel brand. We tackle infrastructure challenges for tourism in Vietnam, talk sustainable hotel development in Singapore, discover outdoor experiences along the Tea Horse Trail in China's Yunnan Province and explore Kyoto as tourism returns to Japan. Plus, which airports in South East Asia are operating more effectively than others? And why is Soft Power set to be a tourism battleground in 2024?

This is the second episode in an occasional series examining major counterfactual scenarios in history. The first, published in September, asked whether President Kennedy would have withdrawn the U.S. from Vietnam had he lived to serve a second term. The destruction of human chattel slavery in the United States was a process of world historical importance. It took a terrible civil war and the passage of a constitutional amendment to bring about its complete demise. Could slavery have been ended peacefully? If so, how long would it have taken, had the Civil War not broken out in 1861? In this episode, historian Jim Oakes, an expert on slavery and antebellum U.S. politics, takes on this counter-factual question.

Henry Kissinger, who helped forge U.S. foreign policy during Vietnam and Cold Wars, dies at 100, shooting attack in Jerusalem as Israel, Hamas extend Gaza truce, and why is everyone so unhappy at work.

Der Politiker und Friedensnobelpreisträger Henry Kissinger ist gestorben. Wie kaum ein anderer Politiker des 20. Jahrhunderts war er zugleich umjubelt und umstritten. 1923 in Fürth geboren, als Jude 1938 in die USA emigriert, wurde er unter Richard Nixon 1969 erst Nationaler Sicherheitsberater und später Außenminister der USA. Durch seine Verhandlungen mit China, der UdSSR und Vietnam gilt der Friedensnobelpreisträger den einen als Meister-Diplomat. Andere sehen ihn als Blender und Machtmenschen mit medialer Dauerpräsenz. Autor: Florian Kummert (BR 2023)

—Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The truce between Israel and Hamas is being extended for another day.  The Israeli military says the temporary ceasefire in Gaza will continue for another day for the process of releasing hostages.  The six-day truce was set to end at 7am local time, following the release of 16 Hamas captives in exchange for 30 Palestinian prisoners being held by Israel.       Two—   The latest Auto Reliability study from Consumer Reports finds Detroit's automakers did not perform well.  Buick was the best performing domestic brand coming in at number 12 in the report. General Motors Cadillac division placed 16th with Chevrolet at 20 and GMC in the 24th spot. Ford came in 22nd and Lincoln placed 23rd. The Ram Truck division of Stellantis was 15th with Jeep at number 26 and Chrysler was 30th.      Three -- Legendary diplomat Henry Kissinger is dead at the age of 100.  Kissinger served as National Security Advisor to the Nixon administration from 1969 to 1975, and was best known for guiding American foreign policy during the Vietnam War.  He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 after negotiating a ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Vietnam.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with writer Tim Shorrock to discuss the legacy of Henry Kissinger, who died last night. Then, she speaks with Adam Federman, reporting fellow at Type Investigations, to discuss his recent piece in In These Times entitled "The New Cold War in the Arctic." First, Emma runs through updates on the newest recipient of the kiss of death, Israel-Hamas prisoner swaps, US-Israel aid, the UAW's ongoing unionization drive, Elon's ongoing meltdown, COP28, the Senate vs. Supreme Court corruption, another Indian assassination attempt, and MSNBC's cancellation of Mehdi Hasan's show, before touching on the catharsis that is the death of Henry Kissinger. Tim Shorrock then gives his initial reflections on Kissinger's passing and the myriad lies he told for the ends of US primacy. Shorrock and Emma trace Kissinger's bloody footprints from Vietnam and East Timor to Argentina as they assess his unflinching ideology of American exceptionalism and hegemony and the uncompromising embrace of his myriad war crimes and genocides by the US political class. After assessing some of the major responses to Kissinger's passing, as well as his central role in shaping the revolving door of US politics, they wrap up with a reflection on the continuation of his legacy in Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Adam Federman then brings us to Greenland as he walks through the multiple layers of US state interest in the land, with a particular focus on military strategy and resource extraction. First, he and Emma look to the post-WW2 settling of myriad US military bases (and the related displacement of indigenous communities) on the island, and the continued emphasis on its geopolitical location amid growing Russia-NATO tensions, before wrapping up with the growing potential for mineral and environmental extraction in a surprisingly attractive (white, European) country. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they watch Kristie Noam take on the hard job of discussing history for the Fox News audience, before taking their own time to reflect on the bloody legacy of Henry Kissinger and his mantle in US politics. Fransisco from Pomona discusses changing tides around shoplifting, and the MR Crew does a deep dive into Elon Musk's recent interview about everything from Twitter's ongoing advertiser exodus amid growing antisemitism on the platform to his �
