Thucydides famously concluded that "it was the rise of Athens and the fear it instilled in Sparta that made war inevitable." Today, 2,400 years later, we face a similar situation: will a rising China and an uneasy America follow the same path? Can these two nations avoid falling into the 'Thucydides Trap'? #Endgame #GitaWirjawan #GrahamAllison -------------------- About Luminary: Graham Allison, former Director of Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, is a bestselling author of "Destined for War: America, China, and Thucydides's Trap" (2017).

On Tuesday, May 7th, President Biden paused a shipment of 3,500 bombs to Israel moments after the IDF mobilized into Rafah, drawing the ire of many Israelis and Zionists worldwide. In this episode, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi discuss the consequences of this decision, the impact on the war, and whether Biden's support for Israel may be wavering.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, it's part one of our interview with Sam Nelson, son of the great Rick Nelson, nephew to David Nelson and grandchild of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson If you grew up in America in the 1950s The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet defined post War America. It was a massive hit and ran for 14 years. We take a deep dive into the restoration and recent release of the complete, 435 episode DVD box set of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. Beginning as a radio show in the 1940s (I betcha didn't know that!) & coming to television in the early 1950s. The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet was the longest running, live action sitcom on American television until 2021 when It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia celebrated it's 15th year. To say that this show was part of the fabric of American life in the 1950s and today is part of it's lexicon would be an understatement. Perhaps no other show from that era is as well-known or beloved that didn't feature Lucy or The Beaver as this show. On this first of two episodes, we spoke with Sam about the interest and hard work in being the sole heir of the Nelson clan that not only wanted to make something of this show after decades of semi-neglect but put in the time, the effort and the sweat equity to bring it back. It's no small effort as Sam tells us how, why and what obstacles he had in making sure that people not only knew the name Ozzie & Harriet but knew the show again in 2024. Of course we speak about his father, entertainer & rock star Rick Nelson & uncle David Nelson who starred on The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet and how Rick, then known as Ricky, single handedly brought rock and roll into America's homes. It was Rick, with his matinee idol good looks and spot on singing voice that perhaps kept this show on the air long after it likely should have petered out. And this is a topic that particularly interested host Josh Mills as legacies and archives are something he has been dealing with every day of his life for the past decade and a half. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and this is Part One of our interview with Sam Nelson. Take a listen.

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—please my friends REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show— Here are 3 big things you need to know right now— Number One— Traverse City Michigan—has landed on a list of the wildest cities in America—what about your town—how wild are you—or are you reserved? Number Two— John Fetterman—nearly unable to spit out a complete sentence is actually telling Republicans to go for it—and just go ahead and try to impeach Joe Biden— Number Three— We are at war—America is under fire and under siege—NOT by China or Russia or anyone else—we are under attack from radical leftists that have totally infiltrated the Administration of the senile Joe Biden—and flooded into places of influence and power—and simply put they do not care about you—they care about carrying out their agenda—which is not America First—I can tell you that— Just look at what they are doing every single day! I mean its clear—they are intent on destroying America once and for all—and it seems quite clear and likely that it is Barack Obama and his minions that are just out of sight, behind the curtain and pulling the strings to make their puppets dance—they have the connections, the money and the influence to keep the hacks in DC doing their bidding—I mean when you hear me say, this seems a lot like Barack Obama's third term—there is a reason for that— BUT for Joe Biden and whoever is pulling the strings—those strings are beginning to fray—because they have gone to the well too much it seems— I mean when they go after America's Energy supply and gas prices rise—people don't like it— When they begin the fear pandering over the 100th new variant—and people see mask mandates for school kids and universities coming back, they don't like it— When they see people going to prison if they are Republican and getting charges dropped if they are liberals or Democrats—we don't like it— When they know the border is wide open with millions of people streaming in—that are being housed in pplaces like Chicago's once famed O'Hare international airport—they don't like it— When they see places like Maui and Northern Florida struggling in the aftermath of disasters—BUT we are sending $200 billion dollars to Ukraine—they don't like it— And when they have seen enough—they get angry—because when they see America being put last instead of America First—they have had it—because they really don't like it— And right now—the polls are showing how much we don't like Joe Biden, the people behind the curtain, the bureaucrats, the lobbyists and the globalists all trying to get an upper hand— In fact here is one that really sets people off—tying money intended to help American's with disaster relief—BUT instead of just going ahead with it—Joe and the socialists play games—to get more money for a foreign country first—and refusing to help out our own neighbors without strings attached— Which leads to even more people becoming angry—and let me be perfectly clear—this is becoming a bipartisan issue—because people on both sides of the aisle—plus independents, agnostics, libertarians and the otherwise unaffiliated political refugees—are all rejecting the laundry list of failures—and then figure in the scandals that they try to deny exist—BUT everyone clearly knows certainly do— So what does that mean—as Hunter Biden's once in a lifetime sweetheart deal has faded into a distant foggy memory—something his dad is ever more familiar with—or is he not familiar??? Hmmmm—I will have to think about that one— Either way—nothing is helping and the ship is listing badly— But there is always the economy, right? I mean we hear Joe and his team of propaganda minsters spreading the good news of how great everything is, right? I mean it must be working to convince people that we are on the right track and headed to financial salvation…right? No, not so much! And some of the issues have become so bad—that Democrats are turning on the geezer— I mean the border has Democrats in New York City and Massachusetts declaring emergencies—because they have been overwhelmed—and Joe just goes back to sleep— So what are the Democrats banking on for 2024? It seems that a Covid Pandemic is what we need around here—so they are relaunching Covid 3.0—and I am sure that will make everyone happy—right?
The war was sold to Woodrow Wilson as a way to become a Christ-like saviour of the world. Wilson, who truly believed God had appointed him President, was seduced by advisors such as ‘Colonel' Edwin Mandel House, into believing he would be the one to bring peace to the world.

This lecture is a part of the Annual Pearl Harbor Day Lecture Series and is presented in collaboration with IWP's China/Asia Program. Recorded live on November 29, 2022 at The Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C.. About the Lecture Xi Jinping is not only implementing the fastest military buildup since the Second World War, but he is also mobilizing the Chinese people for war. He has just created a new war cabinet. He talks about war all the time. The American political and military establishments, however, are not taking Xi seriously, and in Washington, there is an evident lack of sense of urgency. This mismatch will have severe consequences.

In a world riven by divisions, who are India's friends? The neighbourhood is jittery, the sole superpower is in decline, Europe is self-destructing. Abhijit Chavda joins Sanjay Dixit to discuss the ways of navigating this complex scenario in foreign relations for India.
This episode contemplates lessons learned from America’s twenty years of war in Afghanistan. To do so, we're joined by Dr. Carter Malkasian, author of The American War in Afghanistan: A History, and James Cunningham, a senior analyst with SIGAR—the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction. The discuss whether, in the year following the US withdrawal, the United States and its allies have sufficiently reflected on lessons learned from the war. They then describe various reasons why the intervention in Afghanistan failed, based on their extensive research and on-the-ground experience—to include multiple lessons from SIGAR reporting and Dr. Malkasian’s argument that the Taliban won because it fought for values close to what it means to be Afghan, including religion and resistance to occupation. Our guests conclude with policy implications we can draw from twenty years of strategy that ultimately resulted in failure.

As an American in the 21st century, it's incredibly easy to look back on the Revolutionary War and joke about the "redcoats," but would you really have been a patriot if you lived at that time? In a special episode of Fabric of History, Mary is joined by Dr. Rebecca Brannon, Associate Professor of History and Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and author of "From Revolution to Reunion: The Reintegration of the South Carolina Loyalists," to take a closer look at the reasons why people chose to side as patriots or loyalists, or why they may have decided to walk the challenging tightrope of neutrality. What are some examples of regular citizens navigating this difficult time, and what happened to them after the Revolution? What unique challenges did the Revolution pose for minorities and women?View our episode page for additional resources!https://billofrightsinstitute.org/podcasts/was-the-revolutionary-war-americas-first-civil-war

A middle American who came of age during the fallout of September 11th and the Afgan War reflects on the 20th year anniversary and withdrawal.
Roy Allen opened his first root beer stand in 1919, in Lodi, California. He'd bought a recipe for root beer and boy, it sure was a hit. He brought in people to help. One was Frank Wright, who would become a partner in the endeavor and they'd change the name to A&W Root Beer, for their names, and open a restaurant in 1923 in Sacramento, California. Allen bought Wright back out in 1925, but kept the name. Having paid for the root beer license he decided to franchise out the use of that - but let's not call that the first fast food chain just yet. After all, it was just a license to make root beer just like he'd bought the recipe all those years ago. A&W's Allen sold the company in 1950 to retire. The franchise agreements moved from a cash payment to royalties. But after Allen the ownership of the company bounced around until it landed with United Fruit which would become United Brands, who took A&W to the masses and the root beer company was split from the restaurant chain with the chain eventually owned by Yum! Brands now nearly 1,000 locations and over $300M in revenues. White Castle As A&W franchised, some experimented with other franchising options or with not going that route at all. Around the same time Wright opened his first stand, Walt Anderson was running a few food stands around Witchita. He met up with Billy Ingram and in 1921 they opened the first White Castle, putting in $700 of their own money. By 1927 they expanded out to Indianapolis. As is often the case, the original cook with the concept sold out his part of the business in 1933 when they moved their headquarters to Columbus, Ohio and the Ingram family expanded all over the United States. Many a fast food chain is franchised but White Castle has stayed family owned and operates profitably not taking on debt to grow. Kentucky Fried Chicken KFC îs fried chicken. They sell some other stuff I guess. They were started by Harland Sanders in 1930 but as we see with a lot of these they didn't start franchising until after the war. His big hack was to realize he needed to cook chicken faster to serve more customers and so he converted a pressure cooker into a pressure fryer, completely revolutionizing how food is fried. He perfected his original recipe in 1940 and by 1952 was able to parlay the success of his early success into franchising out what is now the second largest fast food chain in the world. But the largest is McDonald's. McDonalds 1940 comes around and Richard and Maurice McDonald open a little restaurant called McDonalds. It was a drive-up barbecue joint in San Bernadino. But drive-in restaurants were getting competitive and while looking back at the business, they realized that four fifths of the sales were hamburgers. So they shut down for a bit and got rid of the car hops that were popular at the time, simplified the menu and trimmed out everything they could - getting down to less than 10 items on the menu. They were able to get prices down to 15 cent hamburgers using something they called the Speedee Service System. That was an assembly-line of food preparation that became the standard in the fast food industry over the next few decades. They also looked at industrial equipment and used that to add french fries and shakes, which finally unlocked an explosion of sales and profits doubled. But then the milkshake mixer salesman payed a visit to them in San Bernadino to see why the brothers need 8 of his mixers and was amazed to find they were, in fact, cranking out 48 shakes at a time with them. The assembly-line opened his eyes and he bought the rights to franchise the McDonalds concept opening his first one in Des Plaines, Illinois. One of the best growth hacks for any company is just to have an amazing sales and marketing arm. OK, so not a hack but just good business. And Ray Kroc will go down as one of the greatest. From those humble beginnings selling milkshake mixers he moved from licensing to buying the company outright for $2.7 million dollars in 1961. Another growth hack was to realize, thanks to a former VP at Tastee-Freez, that owning the real estate brought yet another revenue stream. A low deposit and a 20% or higher increase in the monthly spend would grow into a nearly 38 billion dollar revenue stream. The highway system was paying dividends to the economy. People were moving out to the suburbs. Cars were shipping in the highest volumes ever. They added the filet-o-fish and were exploding internationally in the 60s and 70s and now sitting on over 39,000 stores with about a $175 billion market cap with over $5 billion dollars in revenue. Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives Those post-war years were good to fast food. Anyone that's been to a 50s themed restaurant can see the car culture on display and drive-ins were certainly a part of that. People were living their lives at a new pace to match the speed of those cars and it was a golden age of growth in the United States. The computer industry was growing right along with those diners, drive-ins, and dives. One company that started before World War II and grew fast was Dairy Queen, started in 1940 by John Fremont McCullough. He'd invented soft-serve ice cream in 1938 and opened the first Dairy Queen in Joliet, Illinois with his friend Sherb Noble, who'd been selling his soft-serve ice cream out of his shop for a couple of years. During those post-war 1950s explosive years they introduced the Dilly Bar and have now expanded to 6,800 locations around the world. William Rosenberg opened a little coffee shop in in Quincy, Massachusetts. As with the others in this story, he parlayed quick successes and started to sell franchises in 1955 and Dunkin' Donuts grew to 12,400 locations. In-N-Out Burger started in 1948 as well, by Harry and Esther Snyder and while they've only expanded around the west coast of the US, they've grown to around 350 locations and stay family owned. Pizza Hut was started in 1958 in Wichita, Kanas. While it was more of a restaurant for a long time, it's now owned by Yum! Brands and operates well over 18,000 locations. Yum! Also owns KFC and Taco Bell. Glen Bell served as a cook in World War II and moved to San Bernardino to open a drive-in hot dog stand in 1948. He sold it and started a taco stand, selling them for 19 cents a piece, expanding to three locations by 1955 and went serial entrepreneur - selling those locations and opening four new ones he called El Tacos down in Long Beach. He sold that to his partner in 1962 and started his first Taco Bell, finally ready to start selling franchises in 1964 and grew it to 100 restaurants by 1967. They took Taco Bell public in 1970 when they had 325 locations. And Pepsi bought the 868 location in 1978 for $125 million in stock, eventually spinning the food business off to what is now called Yum! Brands and co-branding with cousin restaurants in that portfolio - Pizza Hut and Long John Silver's. I haven't been to a Long John Silver's since I was a kid but they still have over a thousand locations and date back to a hamburger stand started in 1929 that over the years pivoted to a roast beef sandwich shop and pivoting many times until landing on the fish and chips concept in 1969. The Impact of Computing It's hard to imagine that any of these companies could have grown the way they did without more than an assembly-line of human automation. Mechanical cash registers had been around since the Civil War in the United States, with early patents filed in 1883 by Charles Kettering and James Ritty. Arguably the abacus and counting frame goes back way further but the Ritty Model I patent was sparked the interest of Jacob Eckert who bought the patent, added some features and took on $10,000 in debt to take the cash register to market, forming National Manufacturing Company. That became National Cash Register still a more than 6 billion dollar market cap company. But the growth of IBM and other computing companies, the release of semiconductors, and the miniaturization and dropping costs of printed circuit boards helped lead to the advent of electronic cash registers. After all those are just purpose-built computers. IBM introduced the first point of sale system in 1973, bringing that cash register into the digital age. Suddenly a cash register could be in the front as a simplified terminal to send print outs or information to a screen in the back. Those IBM 3650s evolved to the first use of peer-to-peer client-server technology and ended up in Dillard's in 1974. That same year McDonald's had William Brobeck and Associates develop a microprocessor-based terminal. It was based on the Intel 8008 chip and used a simple push-button device to allow cashiers to enter orders. This gave us a queue of orders being sent by terminals in the front. And we got touchscreens registers in 1986, running on the Atari 520ST, with IBM introducing a 486-based system running on FlexOS. Credit Cards As we moved into the 90s, fast food chains were spreading fast and the way we payed for goods was starting to change. All these electronic registers could suddenly send the amount owed over an electronic link to a credit card processing machine. John Biggins launched the Charg-it card in 1946 and it spread to Franklin National Bank a few years later. Diners Club Card picked up on the trend and launched the Diners Club Card in 1950, growing to 20,000 cardholders in 1951. American Express came along in 1958 with their card and in just five years grew to a million cards. Bank of America released their BankAmericard in 1958, which became the first general-purpose credit card. They started in California and went national in the first ten years. That would evolve into Visa by 1966 and by 1966 we got MasterCard as well. THat's also the same year the Barclaycard brought credit cards outside the US for the first time, showing up first in England. Then Carte bleue in 67 in France and the Eurocard as a collaboration between the Wallenberg family and Interbank in 1968 to serve the rest of Europe. Those spread and by the 90s we had enough people using them to reach a critical mass where fast food needed to take them as well. Whataburger and Carl's Jr added the option in 1989, Arby's in 1990, and while slower to adopt taking cards, McDonald's finally did so in 2002. We were well on our way to becoming a cashless society. And the rise of the PC led to POS systems moving a little down-market and systems from and others like Aloha, designed in 1998 (now owned by NCR). And lots of other brands of devices as well as home-brewed tooling from large vendors. And computers helped revolutionize the entire organization. Chains could automate supply lines to stores with computerized supply chain management. Desktop computers also led to management functions being computerized in the back office, like scheduling and time clocks and so less managers were needed. That was happening all over post-War America by the 90s. Post-War America In that era after World War II people were fascinated with having the same experiences over and over - and having them be identical. Think about it, before the war life was slower and every meal required work. After it was fast and the food always came out hot and felt like a suburban life, wherever you were. Even when that white flight was destroying city centers and the homogeneity leading to further centralized organizations dividing communities. People flocked to open these restaurants. They could make money, it was easier to get a loan to open a store with a known brand, there were high profit margins, and in a lot of cases, there was a higher chance of success than many other industries. This leads to even more homogeneity. That rang true for other types of franchising on the rise as well. Fast food became a harbinger of things to come and indicative of other business trends as well. These days we think of high fructose corn syrup, fried food, and GMOs when we think of fast food. And that certainly led to the rise. People who eat fast food want that. Following the first wave of fast food we got other brands rising as well. Arby's was founded in 1964, Subway in 1965, Wendy's in 1969, Jack in the Box in 1961, Chick-fil-A in 1946, just a few miles from where I was born. And newer chains like Quiznos in 1981, Jimmy John's in 1983, and Chipotle in 1993. These touch other areas of the market focusing on hotter, faster, or spicier. From the burger craze to the drive-in craze to just plain fast, fast food has been with us since long before anyone listening to this episode was born and is likely to continue on long after we're gone. Love it or hate it, it's a common go-to when we're working on systems - especially far from home. And the industry continues to evolve. A barrier to opening any type of retail chain was once the point of sale system. Another was finding a way to accept credit cards. Stripe emerged to help with the credit cards and a cadre of tablet and app-based solutions for the iPhone, Android, and tablets emerged to help make taking credit cards simple for new businesses. A lot of the development was once put into upmarket solutions but these days downmarket is so much more approachable. And various fraud prevention machine learning algorithms and chip and pin technologies makes taking a credit card for a simple transaction safer than ever. The Future The fast food and retail in general continues to evolve. The next evolution seems to be self-service. This is well underway but a number of companies are looking at kiosks to take orders and all those cashiers might find RFID tags as another threat to their jobs. If a machine can see what's in a cart on the way out of a store there's no need for cashiers. Here, we see the digitization as one wave of technology but given the inexpensive cost of labor we are just now seeing the cost of the technology come down to where it's cheaper. Much as the cost of clockworks and then industrialization caused first the displacement of Roman slave labor and then workers in factories. Been to a parking ramp recently? That's a controlled enough environment where the people were some of the first to be replaced with simple computers that processed first magnetic stripes and now license plates using simple character recognition technology. Another revolution that has already begun is how we get the food. Grubhub launched in 2004, we got Postmates in 2011, and DoorDash came in 2013 to make it where we don't even have to leave the house to get our burger fix. We can just open an app, use our finger print to check out, and have items show up at our homes often in less time than if we'd of gone to pick it up. And given that they have a lot of drivers and know exactly where they are, Uber attempted to merge with DoorDash in 2019, but that's fine because they'd already launched Uber Eats in 2014. But DoorDash has about half that market at $2.9 billion in revenues for 2020 and that's just with 18 million users - still less than 10% of US households. I guess that's why DoorDash enjoys a nearly $60 billion market cap. We are in an era of technology empires. And yet McDonald's is only worth about three times what DoorDash is worth and guess which one is growing faster. Empires come and go. The ability to manage an empire that scales larger than the technology and communications capabilities allows for was a downfall of many an empire - from Rome to Poland to the Russian Czarist empire. Each was profoundly changed by splitting up the empire as with Rome, becoming a pawn between neighboring empires, or even the development of an entirely new system of governance, as with Russia. Fast food employs four and a half million people in the US today, with another almost 10 million people employed globally. About half of those are adults. An industry that's grown from revenues of just $6 billion to a half trillion dollar industry since just 1970. And those employees often make minimum wage. Think about this, that's over twice the number of slaves as there were in the Roman Empire. Many of whom rose up to conquer the empire. And the name of the game is automation. Has been since that McDonald's Speedee Service System that enthralled Ray Kroc. But the human labor will some day soon be drastically cut. Just as the McDonald brothers cut car hops from their roster all those years ago. And that domino will knock down others in every establishment we walk into to pay for goods. Probably not in the next 5 years, but certainly in my lifetime. Job displacement due to technology is nothing new. It goes back past the Romans. But it is accelerating faster than at other points in history. And you have to wonder what kinds of socio, political, and economical repercussions we'll have. Add in other changes around the world and the next few decades will be interesting to watch.

After centuries of antagonism and persecution, the twentieth century introduced profound changes to the relationship between Jews and Christians. In the shadow of the Holocaust, post-War America witnessed a flowering of interfaith dialogue, often spearheaded by the more liberal wings of both groups. This flowering of interreligious cooperation was made possible by identifying the lowest common denominators between Judaism and Christianity—a shared attachment to the Hebrew Bible, similar ethical commitments—and eliding the more serious theological differences between them. But today, we are witnessing a different kind of rapprochement, not between the most progressive and weakly affiliated Jews and Christians, but between some of the most traditional and committed members of both faiths. This historic new cooperation is the topic of Professor Wilfred McClay’s July 2020 essay in Mosaic, “What Christians See in Jews and Israel in 2020 of the Common Era.” And in this podcast, he joins Mosaic’s editor to explore his piece in greater depth. He discusses the events that have led to this new and historic era, the role America’s unique history has played in reaching this point, and the role of religion in securing the precious blessings of ordered liberty. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

A spirited debate about Michael Bloomberg's candidacy and whether churches should be taxed! Plus, the war America fought that virtually no one knows about.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down a quarter-billion-dollar American drone on Thursday, the latest in a series of attacks and provocations against America and Western interests—including rocket attacks on American bases and oil infrastructure in Iraq, and Houthi drone strikes against Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Iran is denying that it is behind some of the attacks, and Europe says it isn’t sure whether to believe Iran or America—remarkable evidence of its hardening attitude toward the U.S. Cash-strapped Venezuela has opened its doors to more funding from Iran-funded Hezbollah, and Russia is sailing its most modern warship in the Caribbean Sea—troubling developments in America’s backyard. We also talk about Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to North Korea, a new European fighter jet program, and U.S. lawmakers trying to address the problem of Internet censorship.

My apologies for not honoring any requests to be removed from this list right now. It takes time. JWS John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 June 18, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: YOUR DECISION ON IRAN AND OIL TANKER ATTACKS IS ENCOURAGING! Dear Mr. President: If the news information related to your decision for downplaying the recent attacks against oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman is correct, I would say that alone is rather encouraging. Perhaps my email letters are now reaching your desk in the Oval Office for you to read. Well, I do hope so. Although most of your advisers and close friends seem to think that Russian President Vladimir V. Putin can be trusted, during the time of the Obama Administration, the Kremlin had decided to almost repeat an earlier plan in the Caribbean and Central America to attack the United States when Yuri Andropov was the Soviet leader. During the Reagan Administration in 1983, Grenada was invaded by U.S. Armed Forces to stop that threat from being carried out by constructing the long airstrip on that island, which would have enabled the giant Antonov An-124 Ruslan military air transport to reach another long airfield under construction at Punta Huete, Nicaragua located in Central America from where Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles with nuclear warheads would be launched shortly after landing and being unloaded. So after the Russian Air Force base on La Orchila Island became operational in the Caribbean Sea with its two-mile long air strip, it has not only replaced Grenada but it has also provided a closer site for striking at America’s Eastern Seaboard in addition to enabling An-124 transports to reach Punta Huete in Central America. By the way, if it is still possible, I would like to accompany you on Air Force One to and from the G 20 Summit being held at Osaka, Japan later during this month. I might be of assistance.

Introducing "Behind the Lines", a Mother Jones Podcast series featuring senior reporter Shane Bauer's exclusive, on-the-ground reporting in Syria. A year in the making, this series contains never-before-heard audio from one of the 21st century's bloodiest conflicts, including an interview with the first American woman charged with terrorism-related crimes for joining her husband in ISIS territory. Bauer takes listeners inside an abandoned ISIS prison; hunts for clues about a devastating US-led air strikes; and travels to a battlefront where a proxy battle between superpowers is fueled by oil and gas fields. Episode One goes to the bombed-out city of Raqqa, the former ISIS stronghold, where forensics teams conduct the harrowing work of uncovering thousands of bodies from the rubble. The city was liberated in 2017 following an intensive four-month siege and bombardment by US-led forces as part of President Donald Trump's aggressive escalation of the war against ISIS in Syria. By early 2018, when Bauer visited, as much as 80 percent of the city's buildings had been destroyed or damaged; Amnesty International called it “the most destroyed city in modern times.” Bauer follows the heartbreaking daily routine of 16 rescuers with no more lives to save; now their grim task is retrieving bodies throughout the city. In this episode, Bauer talks about why he embarked on this risky trip into Syria and discusses the shifting web of combatants that makes the war so difficult to comprehend. Our podcast series is being released at the same time as an in-depth package on MotherJones.com presenting Bauer's in-depth report and riveting videos from behind the lines.

This week's Global Research News Hour airs a recording of a lecture by Professor Michel Chossudovsky, delivered June 8, 2018 in Regina, Saskatchewan. The lecture is based on his book, The Globalization of War: America's Long War on Humanity. In this speech, Professor Chossudovsky postulates that the US and its Western allies have embarked on a hegemonic war of conquest, using the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks as a pre-text. Further exacerbating this diabolical agenda is the complicity of media and co-opted movements which refuse to challenge the pre-text of a war on terrorism or of 'humanitarian interventions.' Professor Chossudovsky is Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Ottawa and the Founder and Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization. He is the award-winning author of 11 books and numerous academic articles. His site is globalresearch.ca

We discuss the "Thucydides's Trap" n this cast with Dr. Graham Allison, who has advised Defense Secretaries from the Reagan to the Obama Administrations. He is the author of Destined for War: America, China, and Thucydides's Trap. Dating back to Athens and Sparta, the historical idea is that a rising power will conflict with an establishment power and generally this will lead to war. That this could happen with China sounds incredible, but there are scenario's where involuntary actions or external events could lead to it. And it could be avoided if the right steps are taken.
America’s Secret War in Laos was a proxy conflict fought during the height of the war in Vietnam in the 1960s, and was orchestrated by the US Central Intelligence Agency. While the enormous devastation inflicted upon Laos during the war is now well-known, the details of the CIA’s role has, until now, been a tale left largely untold. In this Policy Forum Pod, Josh Kurlantzick discusses his new book ‘A Great Place to Have a War: America in Laos and the Birth of a Military CIA’, which draws upon extensive interviews and newly declassified CIA records to tell the tale of the Secret War. Josh is a Senior Fellow for Southeast Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations, and was previously a scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He has served as columnist and correspondent for numerous news organisations, including the Economist, the New Republic, and the American Prospect. He is also the winner of the Luce Scholarship for journalism in Asia. This Policy Forum Pod is produced in partnership with New Mandala - www.newmandala.org - the leading site for analysis on Southeast Asia politics and society.

TONIGHT April 09, 09:00PM CDT – “The Verge of War” America today faces many unknowns, the largest of which is North Korea and Iran. First, we are dealing with an immature regime who have many of the world's “super powers” which took sides long ago. Presently, globally the United States is spread so thin, and suffers from its nature to act as a police state. I personally contend it was intentional in order to weaken our military by mentally, psychologically and confusing our very objective for taking up arms. Who are we fighting? Why are we fighting? The literature removes or changes the language to such degree that we do know the purpose we even serve any longer.
