    År 1683 är ett av de mest avgörande märkesåren i europeisk historia. Det var då Osmanska riket – den turkiska stormakten på Balkan och i Främre Orienten – led sitt största och mest allvarliga nederlag. Österrikare, tyskar och polacker segrade i slaget vid Wien och inledde därmed återerövringen av Ungern och dess grannländer.Den osmanska belägringen av Wien var kulmen på en omfattande expansion norrut, som sträckte sig till dagens Slovakien och mellersta Ukraina. Målet var att även göra Österrike till en vasallstat under det muslimska imperiet. Under flera månader var Wien helt inneslutet. Stadens befästningar underminerades och attackerades i våg efter våg.Den så kallade "turkfaran" fick de kristna grannländerna att reagera. Till slut anlände den polske kungen Jan Sobieski i spetsen för en stark armé för att häva belägringen. Samtidigt förberedde storvesiren Kara Mustafa den avgörande stormningen av Wien, vars försvar vid flera punkter redan hade brutits ner. Situationen var akut – staden kunde omöjligen hålla stånd mycket längre.På en och samma dramatiska dag förberedde sig storvesiren för stormning, medan Jan Sobieski planerade ett massivt kavallerianfall mot de osmanska ställningarna.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och Katarina Harrison Lindbergh, fackboksförfattare, om 1683 års avgörande uppgörelse i sydöstra Europa – den osmanska belägringen av Wien och de efterföljande krigen på Balkan.Bild: Ottomanerna omringar Wien av Frans Geffels, Badisches Landesmuseum, Wikipedia, Public Domain.Musik: Mozarts Piano Sonata no. 11, K. 331 - III.

He co-founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA (TPUSA) in 2012 and was its executive director. He was the chief executive officer (CEO) of Turning Point Action (TPAction) and a member of the Council for National Policy (CNP). The Washington Post described him as "one of the most prominent voices on the right" in his later years.Kirk was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs of Arlington Heights and Prospect Heights, Illinois. In high school, Kirk actively engaged in politics, supporting Republican candidate Mark Kirk (no relation) and his U. S. Senate campaign, as well as campaigning against a price increase in his school's cafeteria. He briefly attended Harper College before dropping out to pursue political activism full-time, influenced by Tea Party member Bill Montgomery. In 2012, Kirk founded TPUSA, a conservative student organization that quickly grew with backing from donors like Foster Friess.Kirk expanded the organization's influence through initiatives like the Professor Watchlist and School Board Watchlist, which sought to fire or silence professors for sharing opinions opposed by Turning Point. Critics called this a form of modern day McCarthyism. In 2019, Kirk founded Turning Point Action, a political advocacy arm, and later, with Pentecostal pastor Rob McCoy, formed Turning Point Faith—aimed at mobilizing religious communities on conservative issues. Kirk hosted The Charlie Kirk Show, a conservative talk radio program. A key ally of Donald Trump, Kirk promoted conservative and Trump-aligned causes. He received criticism for a variety of controversial statements, especially regarding his opposition to gun control, abortion, LGBTQ rights, his criticism of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Martin Luther King Jr., and his promotion of Christian nationalism, COVID-19 misinformation, false claims of electoral fraud in 2020, and the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.In September 2025, Kirk was shot and killed at the age of 31 while speaking at a TPUSA event on the campus of Utah Valley University (UVU), as part of his long-running public debate events at higher education institutions across the United States. The shooting received international attention and condemnation.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 06:16 UTC on Thursday, 11 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Charlie Kirk on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Joey.

    fWotD Episode 3050: Hydrogen Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 10 September 2025, is Hydrogen.Hydrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol H and atomic number 1. It is the lightest and most abundant chemical element in the universe, constituting about 75% of all normal matter. Under standard conditions, hydrogen is a gas of diatomic molecules with the formula H2, called dihydrogen, or sometimes hydrogen gas, molecular hydrogen, or simply hydrogen. Dihydrogen is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and highly combustible. Stars, including the Sun, mainly consist of hydrogen in a plasma state, while on Earth, hydrogen is found as the gas H2 (dihydrogen) and in molecular forms, such as in water and organic compounds. The most common isotope of hydrogen (1H) consists of one proton, one electron, and no neutrons.Hydrogen gas was first produced artificially in the 17th century by the reaction of acids with metals. Henry Cavendish, in 1766–1781, identified hydrogen gas as a distinct substance and discovered its property of producing water when burned; hence its name means 'water-former' in Greek. Understanding the colors of light absorbed and emitted by hydrogen was a crucial part of developing quantum mechanics.Hydrogen, typically nonmetallic except under extreme pressure, readily forms covalent bonds with most nonmetals, contributing to the formation of compounds like water and various organic substances. Its role is crucial in acid-base reactions, which mainly involve proton exchange among soluble molecules. In ionic compounds, hydrogen can take the form of either a negatively charged anion, where it is known as hydride, or as a positively charged cation, H+, called a proton. Although tightly bonded to water molecules, protons strongly affect the behavior of aqueous solutions, as reflected in the importance of pH. Hydride, on the other hand, is rarely observed because it tends to deprotonate solvents, yielding H2.In the early universe, neutral hydrogen atoms formed about 370,000 years after the Big Bang as the universe expanded and plasma had cooled enough for electrons to remain bound to protons. After stars began to form, most of the hydrogen in the intergalactic medium re-ionized.Nearly all hydrogen production is done by transforming fossil fuels, particularly steam reforming of natural gas. It can also be produced from water or saline by electrolysis, but this process is more expensive. Its main industrial uses include fossil fuel processing and ammonia production for fertilizer. Emerging uses for hydrogen include the use of fuel cells to generate electricity.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:33 UTC on Wednesday, 10 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Hydrogen on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Russell.

He was a Labor Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1948 to 1951, representing the seat of Boulder, and was later prominent in the labour movement in New South Wales as the state secretary (1951–1978) and state president (1980–1985) of the Australian Workers' Union.Oliver was born in Bangor, Carnarvonshire, Wales, to Elizabeth (née Thompson) and John Murray Oliver. His family moved to England when he was a child, living first in Chester and later in Liverpool. He left school at the age of 13 to work as an agricultural labourer, and emigrated to Western Australia after World War I with an older brother. Oliver initially settled in Meekatharra, where he worked as a miner, and later also lived in Koolanooka, Perenjori, and Big Bell. He joined the Australian Workers' Union (AWU) in 1923, and in 1942 accepted a position as a district-level organiser.In 1943, Oliver was appointed state secretary of the AWU's mining division, which was based in Boulder. He entered parliament at the 1948 Boulder by-election, which had been caused by the death of Philip Collier (a former premier). His chief opponent was the Liberal Party candidate, Billy Snedden, who was a future federal Leader of the Opposition. Oliver was re-elected unopposed at the 1950 state election, but felt under-utilised in parliament, and in mid-1951 resigned to accept a position as the AWU's New South Wales state secretary.Oliver remained AWU state secretary until 1978, helping to improve the union's finances and membership numbers. He then served as AWU state president from 1980 to 1985. Oliver also served as ALP state vice-president during the 1955 party split, and was credited with helping to reduce its impact. He was elected state president of the party in 1960, and remained in the position until his voluntary resignation in 1970, although the party won only a single state election during that time (in 1962). In retirement, Oliver lived in Sydney, dying there in February 1990 (aged 88). He had been made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 1984, "for services to trade unionism".This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Wednesday, 10 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Charlie Oliver (trade unionist) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Brian.

    Watching Z: The Beginning of Everything, about Zelda Fitzgerald led me to read a bit more about her. I'd attempted to read Zelda's novel many years ago so I was not unfamiliar with her story – but I hadn't retained much of it. The TV show was terrible but Zelda's Wikipedia page made me think. Her Wikipedia page makes a big deal of Zelda's lack of skill in the domestic arts. There's a section in which we learn that Zelda didn't do F. Scott's laundry and he found all his dirty shirts piled up in a closet. I think we're meant to find her charmingly inept.

    fWotD Episode 3049: Battle of Arkansas Post Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 9 September 2025, is Battle of Arkansas Post.The Battle of Arkansas Post, also known as the Battle of Fort Hindman, was fought from January 9 to 11, 1863, along the Arkansas River at Arkansas Post, Arkansas, as part of the Vicksburg campaign of the American Civil War. Confederate forces constructed Fort Hindman near Arkansas Post in late 1862. Also in late 1862, Major General John A. McClernand of the Union Army (as the United States Army was known during the war) was authorized to recruit troops in the Midwest for an expedition down the Mississippi River against Vicksburg, Mississippi. Union Major General Ulysses S. Grant began an overland campaign against Vicksburg along the Mississippi Central Railroad in November. Grant and Union General-in-Chief Henry Halleck did not trust McClernand, and through machinations placed the start of the riverine movement against Vicksburg under the command of Major General William T. Sherman before McClernand could arrive. Sherman's movement was defeated at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou in late December, and Confederate cavalry raids forced Grant to abandon his overland campaign.McClernand arrived at Memphis, Tennessee, in late December and found that Sherman had left without him. McClernand moved downriver, joined Sherman's force, and took command in early January 1863, calling it the Army of the Mississippi. Both Sherman and McClernand had independently come to the conclusion that Arkansas Post should be attacked: Confederate forces raiding from Fort Hindman had recently captured a Union supply vessel and Sherman may have been hoping for a victory to restore his reputation after Chickasaw Bayou. McClernand's troops and a Union Navy fleet commanded by Acting Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter moved upriver towards the Arkansas River. The expedition began unloading troops downriver from the fort late on January 9. The next day, some of Porter's warships bombarded the fort, while McClernand's troops maneuvered into position. At 1:00 pm on January 11, Porter's warships began another bombardment of the fort, and McClernand's troops attacked the Confederate positions, which consisted of the fort and a line of rifle pits that extended west to a bayou.McClernand's attack was repulsed, but white flags of surrender began to appear over parts of the Confederate line in uncertain circumstances. Confusion ensued, and Union troops moved up close to the Confederate line and swamped parts of it. The Confederate commander, Brigadier General Thomas J. Churchill, agreed to surrender. When Grant learned of the operation against Arkansas Post, he disapproved and ordered McClernand back to the Mississippi River, although Grant was later convinced of the wisdom of the operation. Grant relieved McClernand on January 30 and took command of the campaign against Vicksburg. In April and May, Grant's army crossed the Mississippi River downriver from Vicksburg and won a series of battles. The Confederate forces withdrew into the Vicksburg defenses in mid-May. The Siege of Vicksburg ended with a Confederate surrender on July 4, 1863; this was a key contribution to the eventual Union victory.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:03 UTC on Tuesday, 9 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Battle of Arkansas Post on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

    Hedvig Eleonora - rikets första dam under 55 år

    Hedvig Eleonora av Holstein-Gottorp (1636-1715) spelade en viktig roll i de svenska kungafamiljen. Hon var Sveriges drottning i sex år, men de facto Sveriges första dam till sin död 1715. Som änkedrottning var hon medlem i både Karl XI:s och Karl XII:s förmyndarregeringar. Idag är hon mest känd som 1600-talets största slottsbyggare.Hedvig Eleonora från furstendömet Holstein-Gottorp giftes bort med Karl X som artonåring, men det harmoniska äktenskapet blev kort då kungen dog efter bara fem år. Som gift med Karl X, mor åt Karl XI samt farmor åt Karl XII arbetade hon för ett starkt kungahus under stormaktstiden. Sent i livet skulle hon för döva öron vädja till Karl XII att sluta fred med sina fiender.I denna repris av podden Historia Nu samtar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Eva Helena Ulvros, professor emerita i historia vid Lunds universitet. Hon är aktuell med biografin Hedvig Eleonora och hennes tid.Hedvig Eleonora föddes 1636 på slottet Gottorp som dotter till hertig Fredrik III av Holstein-Gottorp och Maria Elisabeth av Sachsen. Hennes äktenskap med Karl X var rent politiskt som de flesta kungliga äktenskap vid denna tid. Hennes make Karl X Gustav dog redan i februari 1660. Ett dygn före sin död dikterade han sitt testamente för att trygga sin ”kära makas”, sin sons och sitt rikes framtid. Den döende kungen överlämnade riket till sin unga maka och en förmyndarregering.
Hedvig Eleonora har setts som svag i förmyndarregeringen för Karl XI, men hon hade en tydlig linje i utrikespolitiken där hon gärna främjade Hollstein-Gottorps intressen. Drottningen accepterade den makt som riksrådet erbjöd henne, men den unga Hedvig Eleonora hade svårt att hävda kungamaktens ställning gentemot aristokratin. Hon tog ganska ringa del i förmyndarstyret, och då Karl XI senare anklagade förmyndarstyrelsen för försummelse kom han att helt frikalla sin mor från ansvar. Förmyndarregeringen varade till 1672, då Karl XI blev myndig.
Hedvig Eleonoras praktfulla hov och intresse för kultur satte ett stort avtryck i landet. Änkedrottningens Drottningholm var under flera decennier i slutet av 1600-talet landets största slottsbygge. Slottbyggandet var för Hedvig Eleonora ett sätt att markera sin ställning gentemot den svenska adeln och samtida europeiska furstar. Drottningen ägnade sig gärna åt balett- och teaterföreställningar på slottet, som under hela hennes livstid var rikets kulturcentrum Den gamla änkedrottningen blev förmyndare för Karl XII och fyra år senare, 1697, åter medlem i en förmyndarregering. Nu var Hedvig Eleonora en erfaren kvinna som inte tyngdes av sina 61 år, och hon var aktiv i utrikespolitiken mot Danmark till förmån för Holstein-Gottorp. Hennes kontakter till det gamla hemlandet tilltog ytterligare när hennes sondotter Hedvig Sofia gifte sig med sin kusin hertig Fredrik IV av Holstein-Gottorp.

    Breath of Fire is an excellent documentary about Kundalini Yoga, a group invented out of thin air by the self-styled Yogi Bhajan, who claimed to be a Sikh and to have a system of yoga. Bhajan was neither a Sikh nor a yogin. His techniques lead to dissociation and hypomania (false ecstasy) and then to the depths of depression. Followers can spend years believing that they've failed on the path to enlightenment when, in reality, they were conned into using dangerous and untested methods to induce euphoria.Hoyt Richards is a documentary maker, actor, and former member of another eastern-themed cult, Eternal Values.Notes and links:Jon says "Yogi Bhajaj" throughout, but realizes that the name is "Yogi Bhajan." These things happen sometimes.The term "S.P." in Scientology usually means "Suppressive Person," ie, someone who is not to be trusted. However, Jon and others in the ex-Scientology community have reclaimed this title as a "Social Personality."The Sharpeville Massacre deserves much more recognition than it normally gets; here is a page from South African History Online. Also do check out the other resources cited in this Wikipedia article.Here is the complete poem Jon quotes toward the end of the video.

    Trance Formation of America with Cathy O'Brien

    Shape Shifting Conspiracy “Theories”MK Ultra survivors who deprogram the program first can heal from within to know their own truth. We all need to know our own truth in order to discern truth in others. When we know our truth there is no need for validation outside of self and ultimately no need to shift other's perceptions by demanding they see it our way.In today's world of argumentative snap judgement, it would be wise to slow down to remember who we are and why we are here.  Are we here to parrot program we have been led to believe, or are we here to know and share truth that makes us free?By deprogramming the program first, I wrote out verbatim the voice of my programmers setting the stage for what I was to perceive. DARPA programming included creating a perception that I traveled back in time when in fact I was programmed for CIA black ops in Haiti. Haiti was so primitive in the 80's it looked like I had traveled back in time! Had I believed the program, I would have missed the reality of what actually transpired as detailed in TRANCE Formation of America.Likewise, George Bush's “You Are What You Read” program, which was also generated by DARPA, would have led me to believe and testify that Bush had shape shifted into a lizard. By deprogramming the program first, I heard the program verbatim setting up the holographic illusion of shape shifting into a lizard complete with the time lag while holograph equipment was placed.These days, I am confident the holographic illusion could be run much smoother than it did back then since holographs are now used commercially, even in restaurants. Back then it was newer technology, so I am happy to have deprogrammed the program first in order to get to the truth of what actually occurred rather than generate fear in others as intended.PerpeTraitors of the global slave society agenda some term New World Order are not like us and do not like us. Whether we call them aliens or demons, the point is the same: they are here within our realm to affect. Truth frees us from fear and shatters illusions much the way knowing a magic trick breaks the spell. Pull back the wizard's curtain to find it is just a person pulling levers to appear great and powerful in order to lord over those who believe the illusion.Consider that if Bush Sr. were actually capable of shape shifting here, why was he confined to a wheel chair in later years? And why did his shape shifting illusion only work at secret sites and not everywhere he went in public?There is always more to learn and know, so I choose not to limit possibility to only my life's experience. Besides, I know the CIA is trained that the best lies are rooted in truth. Yet the truth of my experience is a piece of the puzzle that helps bring the big picture into focus. It may help others to know truth so they, too, can reclaim their own individual piece of the puzzle to bring to the table rather than bringing the same piece of program to the table and trying to pound it into the big picture.National Security was invoked on my testimony because evidence proved it true. Clean members of law enforcement and intelligence were able to obtain validating evidence including video record of what transpired in the White House with Bush.Nevertheless, Wikipedia labels me a Conspiracy Theorist whereby redefining proven testimony of life experience as “theory”. Is Wikipedia suggesting our government invokes National Security on “theories”?Read the full article on Cathy's website HERE
