Podcasts about William Howard Taft

In 1909, William Howard Taft entered the White House, pledging to preserve and expand the Progressive policies of his predecessor Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt, in turn, promised to stay out of politics. But over the next year, a controversy at the Department of the Interior convinced Roosevelt that his legacy was under threat. Soon, he would reenter the political arena, sparking a bitter struggle for control of the Republican party.Roosevelt stirred the public with a bold agenda known as the “New Nationalism.” But Taft wasn't his only adversary. As the 1912 election got underway, New Jersey Democrat Woodrow Wilson entered the fray with an alternative vision of Progressive reform.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

President William Howard Taft became the first Commander-in-Chief to throw the ceremonial first pitch on 14th April, 1910. Taft's participation cemented baseball as the quintessential American sport, in a period when it was still shedding its dodgy image. The game's enduring popularity ensured that the tradition persisted for over a century, with each president adding their unique flair to the ritual - though it has faced challenges, including presidents being booed by crowds and political statements made during the ceremonial pitch. In this episode, The Retrospectors reveal which presidents have passed on the opportunity to participate, which have prepared extra-hard for their big sporting moment, and which UK Prime Minister turned down the opportunity to have a go himself… Further Reading: ‘How the first pitch became baseball's Opening Day tradition' (National Geographic): https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/first-pitch-baseball-opening-day-tradition ‘Taft becomes first U.S. president to throw out first pitch at MLB game' (HISTORY, 2021): https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/historic-baseball-pitches-presidents ‘Presidential First Pitches' (Richard S.

In this episode, we dive into a pivotal moment in American history when Congress prepared to admit Arizona and New Mexico as the final contiguous states. We explore the intriguing and contentious relationship between President William Howard Taft and the progressive aspirations of Arizonans as they drafted their state constitution. Despite Taft's reputation as a trustbuster, his conservative views on constitutional law led him to veto Arizona's bid for statehood over the inclusion of a controversial recall provision that threatened the independence of the judiciary.We'll examine how the spirit of direct democracy was gaining momentum across the nation, with new innovations like initiatives, referenda, and political primaries being embraced by states like Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and California. Arizona's constitutional convention went even further, proposing the recall of not just elected officials but judges as well—a move that Taft vehemently opposed, labeling it "legalized terrorism."Join us as we unpack the struggle for statehood, the intense political negotiations that ensued, and the ultimate compromise that led to Arizona's admission into the Union. We'll also delve into the legacy of the recall power in Arizona, discussing its impact on political accountability and judicial independence, including a peculiar episode from the 1920s involving the Ku Klux Klan. Don't miss this fascinating exploration of a unique chapter in the quest for statehood and the evolving relationship between governance and the will of the people.

Seeing a local craft brewery shut its doors is always tough, but this hurts extra hard. In this episode, Joe and Caroline pay tribute to Taft's Brewing Company. Taft's Brewing Company opened its doors on Opening Day in 2015 in a beautifully renovated church in Over-the-Rhine. They were named after the 27th President of the United States, William Howard Taft, originally from Ohio. President Taft was a heavy-set man. According to urban legend, he got stuck in a bathtub at the White House. Taft's Brewing made this urban legend part of their brand. Over the years, we witnessed their growth. They started to can and distribute their beer and opened two additional locations, one in Spring Grove in the Cincinnati suburbs and one in Columbus.Taft's beer and taproom spaces significantly impacted our "craft beer" journey. Caroline met friends there to knit, and Joe went there as part of his joint bachelor party. It used to be our go-to spot for dinner if we went to Over-the-Rhine with friends on the weekend. When they opened their Brewporium on Spring Grove Ave, we took our kids there to watch the trains while eating pizza, typically after we visited the Cincinnati Zoo.Due to COVID, hard economic times hit everyone. Unfortunately, they were forced to close their original location in Over-the-Rhine on November 25, 2023. About a year later, they announced the closure of their Columbus location. Their third and final taproom, their "Brewporium" on Spring Grove Avenue, will permanently close on December 29, 2024. However, this isn't the end of the road for the beer. Their beer will live on through CinBev, which purchased the brand earlier this year. Taft's beer will join other classic Cincinnati brands such as Christian Moerlein, Hudepohl, and Little Kings as part of CinBev. Times are challenging right now, especially for the "little guy." Please get out there and support our local businesses!About the Craft Parenting PodcastThe Craft Parenting Podcast is hosted by Joe and Caroline, two Cincinnati parents who are also craft beer enthusiasts. Each week, they discuss their favorite local beers, parenting experiences, and adventures with their two children and two dogs.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

In this episode of Dave Does History on Bill Mick Live, Dave Bowman takes listeners back to one of the most pivotal elections in U.S. history—the election of 1912. It wasn't just a contest between candidates; it was a clash of ideologies that would shape the nation for decades to come. With four influential contenders—incumbent William Howard Taft, former president Theodore Roosevelt, Democrat Woodrow Wilson, and Socialist Eugene V. Debs—each presenting a unique vision for America's future, this election marked a turning point. Dave explores the key issues that divided these candidates, from labor rights and corporate power to women's suffrage and social justice, and examines how Roosevelt's dramatic split from the Republican Party set the stage for lasting changes in American politics. Tune in to understand why this “Battle of Titans” still resonates, and discover the lessons it holds for today's political landscape.

It's Friday, October 25th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Mozambique Muslims have killed 5,000 people, mostly Christians Bishop António Juliasse has given a harrowing account of the murders, mass displacement, and hunger that have afflicted Mozambique, Africa over the last seven years due to the ongoing Islamist insurgency, reports Aid to the Church in Need. He said Mozambique has faced “seven years of displacement; seven years of death; seven years during which people have lived with great suffering; of hunger, because they cannot farm their land due to insecurity; of disease, because there is no access to medication, or because the closest clinic has been destroyed. Seven years during which children have not been able to study as they should.” Muslim militants have killed 5,000 people, many of whom were Christians. Plus, one million have been displaced as a result of the violent clashes between Muslim insurgents, seeking to establish a hard-line Islamic state, and the Mozambique Defense Armed Forces. Aid to the Church in Need has provided emergency aid, pastoral assistance and counselling for displaced people, as well as vehicles for missionaries and the construction of homes and community centers. Revelation 6:9-10 says, “When [Jesus] opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, ‘How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the Earth and avenge our blood?'” Trump's former chief of staff makes wild accusations which are refuted In an interview with the New York Times, Donald Trump's former Chief of Staff, retired Marine General John Kelly, claimed that his former boss had praised Adolf Hitler's military and wished that he had the same. He also said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would govern as a dictator if elected a second time. Kamala Harris said this. HARRIS: “It is clear from John Kelly's words that Donald Trump is someone who I quote, ‘certainly falls into the general definition of fascist.'” Kelly's comments were defused by a vehement denial from Mike Pence's  former chief of staff, reports The Blaze.  According to Nick Ayers, Kelly's accusation is false.  Ayers tweeted, "I've avoided commenting on intra-staff leaks or rumors or even lies as it relates to my time at the White House, but General Kelly's comments regarding President Trump are too egregious to ignore. I was with each of them more than most, and his commentary is patently false." In a campaign statement, Trump's Communications Director Steven Cheung said, "Kamala Harris is a stone-cold loser who is increasingly desperate because she is flailing, and her campaign is in shambles. That is why she continues to peddle outright lies and falsehoods that are easily disproven.” When J.D. Vance, Trump's Vice Presidential pick, was asked about it on the campaign trail, he said this. VANCE: “John Kelly was fired by Donald Trump, and he won't stop talking about it. Every time that John Kelly says something happened, you've got three or four people who are allegedly in the room when it happens, saying he's making it up. Even Mike Pence's chief of staff said that John Kelly is making up a bunch of [stuff] about Donald J Trump. “So, who do we believe? Do we believe multiple eyewitnesses, or do we believe a disgruntled ex-employee? I believe the multiple eyewitnesses. I think everything that John Kelly said is not true.” Anderson Cooper confronts Kamala about border flip flop In Wednesday night's CNN Town Hall in Pennsylvania, Anderson Cooper engaged Kamala Harris about her demonstrable flip flop on the border wall. COOPER: “Under Donald Trump, you criticized the wall more than 50 times. You called it stupid, useless, and a medieval vanity project. Is a border wall stupid?” HARRIS: “Why is there any ideological perspective on this? Let's just fix the problem.” COOPER: “To fix the problem, you're doing this compromise bill. It does call for $650 million that was earmarked under Trump to actually still go to build the wall.” HARRIS: “I am not afraid of good ideas where they occur.” COOPER: “So, you don't think it's stupid anymore?” Doctor withheld results of puberty-blocker study for political reasons A medical doctor and leading proponent of transgender procedures for minors recently admitted that she deliberately withheld the results of a taxpayer-funded study because it showed there were no positive mental health effects for gender dysphoric children who used puberty blockers, reports The Christian Post. Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who heads the largest youth gender clinic in the United States at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, told the New York Times that she feared releasing the results of the study would lead them to be "weaponized" by opponents of such procedures. J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, summarized the truth well in a tweet. She wrote, “We must not publish a study that says we're harming children because people who say we're harming children will use the study as evidence that we're harming children, which might make it difficult for us to continue harming children.” 115-year-old woman's secrets: fresh food and love of God And finally, America's oldest person died on Tuesday at her home in Houston at the age of 115, reports The U.S. Sun. Remarkably, Elizabeth Francis was living with her 95-year-old daughter and her 69-year-old granddaughter. Born on July 25, 1909, she lived through two world wars, two plagues and 20 U.S. Presidents, the first of whom was former President William Howard Taft. According to LongeviQuest, a database on the world's oldest people, Francis was the third-oldest person in the world at the time of her death, What was the secret to her long life?  Her 69-year-old granddaughter referenced her diet. GRANDDAUGHTER: “She did have a garden. A lot of her food out of her garden, she would cook herself.” Plus, Francis never smoked or drank alcohol nor did she need glasses or hearing aids. Her 95-year-old daughter talked about her late mother's guiding principles. DAUGHTER: “Always do the right thing. Treat each other as you would have them treat you.” And in a May 2024 story on the Houston ABC affiliate, Francis cited 1 John 4:8. FRANCIS: “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” Since her voice was soft, she said, “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, October 25th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

This Day in Legal History: Former President Taft Becomes Chief JusticeOn July 11, 1921, William Howard Taft was sworn in as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, making history as the only person to have held both the presidency and the chief justiceship. Taft had previously served as the 27th President of the United States from 1909 to 1913. His appointment to the Supreme Court was a lifelong dream come true, as he had always preferred judicial work over executive duties.During his tenure as Chief Justice, Taft made significant contributions to the federal judiciary. He advocated for judicial reforms and was instrumental in the creation of the Judicial Conference of the United States, which helped improve the administration of the courts. His leadership was marked by efforts to enhance the efficiency and integrity of the judicial system.Taft's unique perspective as a former president provided him with a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between the branches of government. This experience enriched his contributions to the Court's decisions and its operations. His tenure as Chief Justice lasted until his retirement in 1930, leaving a lasting impact on the American legal system.A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision has impacted two significant Illinois public-corruption cases involving former state House Speaker Mike Madigan. The ruling in Snyder v. United States clarified that federal law criminalizes bribery when officials accept bribes before performing official acts, but not when they accept gratuities after the fact. Following this decision, defense lawyers in the cases involving Madigan and his associates are seeking acquittals or new trials.Judge John Robert Blakey of the Northern District of Illinois requested updates from the lawyers involved. Meanwhile, attorneys in U.S. v. McClain indicated they would file motions to acquit or seek new trials for four defendants convicted of conspiring to solicit favors for Madigan. Michael McClain's lawyer argued the Supreme Court's ruling showed the jury was misinformed on the law, potentially invalidating the conviction.Madigan's legal team plans to file motions related to the Snyder decision, while prosecutors maintain their original allegations. Even if some convictions are vacated, the government argues that other charges, such as falsifying records under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, are likely to stand. Former prosecutor Rachel Cannon noted that these additional charges might withstand the impact of the Snyder ruling.The Snyder decision might also influence other prosecutions connected to the Madigan scandal. Besides McClain, Jay Doherty, John Hooker, and Anne Pramaggiore were also convicted and await sentencing, which has been postponed pending the Supreme Court's decision. These cases underscore the significant legal repercussions following the high court's interpretation of bribery statutes. SCOTUS Bribery Ruling Offers Chance to Undo Illinois ConvictionsA California judge has granted Tesla more time to prepare its defense against a proposed class action alleging it overcharged customers for insurance. The case, overseen by Judge Michael Markman of Alameda Superior Court, now has a hearing scheduled for October 2025 to determine whether it will proceed as a class action. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of drivers in 11 states, accuses Tesla of inflating insurance premiums based on false crash warnings instead of actual driving behavior, violating California's unfair competition law and breaching contracts with drivers.Tesla's attorney, Min Kang, cited delays in gathering defense information due to the involvement of multiple states and the recent departure of a key Tesla employee. This personnel change has complicated the process, with Tesla in the midst of hiring a replacement.Tesla, which denies any wrongdoing, previously attempted to dismiss some claims but was unsuccessful. The company's insurance program bases premiums on a "safety score," factoring in vehicle data such as hard-braking and forward collision warning alerts. Plaintiffs argue these scores are unfairly increased by false warnings, raising their premiums. This lawsuit has drawn attention from state regulators and plaintiffs' lawyers, highlighting broader concerns about Tesla's insurance practices.Tesla gets more time to defend against driver class action over insurance | ReutersHarvard University has appointed Jennifer O'Connor as its new general counsel, effective July 29. O'Connor previously held senior roles at Northrop Grumman and the US Department of Defense. This move comes as Harvard faces scrutiny over its policies on antisemitism and calls from some students to sever financial ties with military contractors. O'Connor brings extensive experience from large, complex organizations and has served as general counsel for the Department of Defense and held roles in the White House Counsel's office. She is an alumna of Harvard College and earned her law degree from Georgetown.Interim President Alan Garber praised her experience, emphasizing her readiness to manage Harvard's legal strategy amid congressional probes and lawsuits related to campus antisemitism and the aftermath of Hamas's attack on Israel. O'Connor will also address issues related to Harvard's admissions policies after a recent Supreme Court defeat. Neil Eggleston, who worked with O'Connor during the Obama administration, highlighted her familiarity with Washington's political landscape, which will aid Harvard in navigating upcoming challenges.O'Connor succeeds Eileen Finan, who has served as interim general counsel since March 1, following the retirement of Diane Lopez. This appointment aims to stabilize Harvard's legal department and address ongoing campus controversies.Harvard Hires New Lawyer From Weapons Maker Northrop Grumman (1)Rudolph Giuliani's personal bankruptcy case is likely to be dismissed by a federal bankruptcy judge by the end of the week after nearly seven months of inactivity. Judge Sean Lane of the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York indicated during a hearing that he is inclined to dismiss the case entirely, with a final ruling expected on Friday. This dismissal would leave Giuliani without court protection from creditors, to whom he owes over $150 million. Giuliani's lawyers have consented to the proposed dismissal.The bankruptcy case has been fraught with disputes over missed deadlines and transparency issues regarding Giuliani's financial affairs. Giuliani filed for bankruptcy in December, reporting $10.6 million in assets after a $148 million defamation judgment for false accusations against Georgia poll workers in the 2020 election. Wandrea' Arshaye “Shaye” Moss, one of the poll workers, sits on an official creditors' committee that has requested a trustee's appointment.If dismissed, creditors would return to civil court to recover debts, and Giuliani would face continued lawsuits that were paused by his Chapter 11 filing. Attorney Rachel Strickland, representing the Georgia plaintiffs, criticized Giuliani's lack of cooperation and suggested he might commit bankruptcy crimes. This prompted a heated exchange during the hearing, with Giuliani interrupting to refute Strickland's claims.The creditors' committee opposes the dismissal, arguing that resolving the case within bankruptcy would benefit more creditors than civil court proceedings. Despite these arguments, the dismissal seems imminent, leaving significant creditors, particularly the Georgia poll workers, to seek recovery through other means.Giuliani Bankruptcy Is Heading Toward Dismissal, Judge Says (1) This is a public episode.

Teddy Roosevelt comes out of retirement and returns to the political fold to unseat his longtime political friend and ally, President William Howard Taft. As both parties struggle to hold their progressive and conservative factions together, Democrat Woodrow Wilson seeks to ride the wave of progressivism, capitalize on a divided Republican party, and win first place in a heated three way race. *** To listen to the entire series—all 59 episodes—right now and ad-free, become a subscriber at IntoHistory.com, a channel of history podcasts made just for history lovers like you.

ekphrasis: “Description” in Greek. An ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the “action” of a painting or sculpture, the poet may amplify and expand its meaning.Once internationally famous as the author of the poem "The Man with the Hoe," Edwin Markham (1852-1940) was a popular American literary figure during the first half of the 20th century whose works espoused progressive social and spiritual beliefs. In contrast to the experimentalism and pessimism that generally characterized poetry of this era, Markham's quatrains, sonnets, and heroic verse celebrate peace, love, and socialist utopian reform. In a 1902 essay in the Comrade, Leonard D. Abbot proclaimed that "Markham, more than any other poet in the English language, can claim the honor of being the Bard of Labor—the true product of the last great movement that is destined to shake the world."In 1876 Markham abandoned the Methodist faith of his childhood and became a follower of the spiritualist and utopian socialist Thomas Lake Harris. Harris's doctrine, which espoused social harmony and universal charity, became a major force in Markham's life. Markham had begun writing poetry as early as 1872, but he did not sell his first poem until 1880. For the next 19 years, he contributed poems to Harper's, Century, and Scribner's, and cultivated friendships with such eminent American literary figures as Edmund Clarence Stedman, Hamlin Garland, and Ambrose Bierce.During the last week of December 1898, Markham completed a poem that changed his career overnight. Titled "The Man with the Hoe," the poem was based on the painting of the same name by the French artist Jean-Francois Millet in 1862. Millet's painting depicts a stooping peasant with a brutish expression on his face, who in Markham's poem becomes the embodiment of the suffering of oppressed labor throughout world history. Markham read the poem to an editor of William Randolph Hearst's San Francisco Examiner at a New Years' Eve party, and that newspaper published the work two weeks later."The Man with the Hoe" attracted wide public notice and was reprinted in newspapers across the United States. Its appeal for better treatment of the working class became the subject of national debate and launched Markham's career as a poet, transforming him into a national celebrity. Markham enjoyed this immense public prestige until his death in 1940.Markham's poetry is characterized by its highly rhetorical nature and expresses his advocacy of social reform, as well as his desire for the unity of humankind through spiritual faith. "The Man with the Hoe," as well as his subsequent poetry, was hotly debated by critics. William Jennings Bryan wrote: "There is a majestic sweep to the argument; some of the lines pierce like arrows," while Ambrose Bierce railed: "As a literary conception it has not the vitality of a dead fish. It will not carry a poem of whatever excellence otherwise through two generations." Although Markham's first collection of poetry, The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems, was subject to the same controversy, critics generally viewed Markham as a poet of much promise. With each successive collection, however, he encountered disfavor with critics. When Gates of Paradise, and Other Poems was published in 1920, Herbert S. Gorman wrote, "Markham became a poet when he wrote 'The Man with the Hoe' and when he penned the last line he ceased to be a poet." Nevertheless, Markham always remained popular with readers, and his distinguished appearance—tall, ruggedly featured, and bearded—impressed many people as the ideal of a great American poet.In 1922, Markham, on invitation from former president William Howard Taft, read his poem "Lincoln, the Man of the People" at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial; in 1932, on the occasion of Markham's 80th birthday, he was regaled at New York's Carnegie Hall, a celebration to which 35 nations sent representatives. Despite the decline in his reputation after his death, among scholars Markham remains an important figure in American poetry of the early 20th century. "At a time when protest counted, Markham's first triumph, 'The Man with the Hoe,' helped awaken the conscience of the American people," observed Joseph W. Slade in the Dictionary of Literary Biography. "Markham elevated socialism, naive as it was, into sublimity. If 'The Man with the Hoe' represents Markham on a soapbox, critic Benjamin De Casseres has written, the 'that soapbox is a star.'"-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode we discuss, very briefly, some of the things scripture has to say about the spiritual realm and the beings who live there. We talk about why this is an important subject, mistakes people make when thinking about these things, the danger and wonder of the spiritual realm, and some practical advice about this subject. Finally, we offer some wild takes on how active and pervasive spirits are in our day. 

The Presidential election of 1912 was an unusual moment in American history. It featured an embattled incumbent President facing criticism from his former allies. It offered voters a choice between the sitting President and his predecessor. And when it was all done, the two men who had previously won the Presidency found themselves bested by a college professor with just a few years of experience in politics.   So why did the predecessor, Teddy Roosevelt, become so critical of the incumbent, William Howard Taft, that he decided to break away from the Republican party to run against him? Why did the Democrats pick relative newcomer Woodrow Wilson to be their Presidential Candidate ? And is 1912 an example of how a third-party candidate can spoil an election? Let's find out.   Welcome to The Road To Now's Third Party Elections Series. Today: Part 3- The Election of 1912 with Michael Cullinane.   Dr. Michael Patrick Cullinane is Lowman Walton Chair of Theodore Roosevelt Studies at Dickinson State University and the author of multiple books, including Theodore Roosevelt's Ghost: The History and Memory of an American Icon (LSU Press, 2017).

Bienvenidos a un nuevo programa donde hablaremos del dinero y para ello empezaré utilizando un video de Desmontando a Babylon titulado “¿¿cómo funciona el sistema bancario??” “La F.E.D. en EEUU o "El Sistema de la Reserva Federal", se define en los diccionarios de derecho como: "La red de doce bancos centrales a la que pertenecen la mayoría de los bancos nacionales y a la que pueden pertenecer bancos estatales. Sus normas de composición requieren la inversión de valores y reservas mínimas." 12 Bancos privados son propietarios de La Reserva Federal. Alan Greenspan, Presidente de la F.E.D. entre 1987 y 2006 admite públicamente, que la Reserva Federal está por encima de gobiernos y presidentes. El Presidente de los EEUU, Richard Nixon, en 1971 suspendió temporalmente la conversión en ORO de la divisa internacional reconocida para el intercambio de monedas, el dólar BAN. Adoptó esta medida con carácter PROVISIONAL y se mantiene desde 1971. ¿¿ magia de los bancos centrales?? ¿¿ gran estafa ?? en el sistema bancario ¿¿cómo funciona el sistema bancario?? Desde 1971, todo el dinero que se imprime se llama DINERO FIAT (sometido) ¿sometido a qué? a la DEUDA ¿¿ genios ??, ¿¿magos??, ¿¿banksters?? Es DINERO-DEUDA y en esta presentación veremos de donde toma este nombre el dinero que circula en nuestro sistema. "Si la gente entendiese cómo funciona nuestro sistema bancario y monetario, creo que habría una revolución antes de mañana". Se atribuye esta frase al industrial americano y pionero de la gran industria del automóvil, Henry Ford. ¿¿cómo funciona el sistema bancario-monetario?? 1º El banco central europeo se fundó con las aportaciones de países europeos de la zona euro. El capital social aportado al BCE fue 10,6 billones de euros. Alemania aportó un 20% del total, el 70 % lo aportaron el resto de países de la zona euro y el 10% otros. 2º Cuando un pais (España, Grecia, Portugal, etc..) tiene problemas, no le puede pedir dinero prestado al BCE, en lugar de eso, deberá financiarse a través de emisión de deuda pública. Por lo tanto, cuando un pais de zona euro necesita dinero, emite deuda pública en subasta pública. nota importante◄◄ 3° Cuando el pais que solicita ayuda al banco central europeo publica en su boletín oficial la salida a mercado de esa deuda publica, el banco central europeo comienza la impresión de nuevos euros. Y ahora viene cuando caemos en la gran estafa del dinero-deuda. 4º El banco central europeo (BCE) imprime dinero Fiat (sin aval) y lo entrega a bancos privados al 1% de interés (o inferior). Una vez reciben el dinero del BCE, los bancos privados ofrecen a las grandes corporaciones, préstamos a muy bajo interés en condiciones muy beneficiosas. 5° Con el dinero casi gratis o muy barato, los bancos privados y las grandes corporaciones invierten en la compra de la deuda emitida por los países que tenían problemas de pago. 6° Al vencer esa deuda el pais emisor les pagara el importe de la deuda + los intereses. El interés que reciben los compradores de deuda varía según los países: España paga el 7% Alemania el 3% 7° Es decir... el BCE presta nuestro dinero a bancos privados al 1% y los bancos privados lo prestan a España al 7% a través de deuda pública (que pagará el pueblo español). Luego... los bancos privados ganan un mínimo del 6% por ser intermediarios entre el banco central europeo y los países miembros de la Unión Europea y aportadores del capital social del BCE. 8º Pagamos el 7% de interés por un dinero aportado por nosotros. además el pago de la deuda, constitucionalmente, en el caso de España, está por encima del interés general del pueblo español. PP y PSOE pactaron en agosto de 2011, modificar la Constitución y dejar por escrito que tiene prioridad el pago de la deuda sobre el interés general del pueblo. Primero se paga la deuda pública más un alto interés a los banqueros internacionales que la compraron y luego ya se verá si llega para comer el pueblo. 9º El dinero obtenido por el estado español por emisión de deuda pública en la crisis del 2008, fue usado para rescates de bancos que ya habían ganado un 6% por intermediar entre el banco central europeo y los gobiernos de zona euro. Al mismo tiempo, los recursos públicos destinados a la enseñanza preescolar y primaria, se recortaron en 643 millones de euros y en el nivel de enseñanza secundaria en 448 millones de euros. Así como las prestaciones en protección social dirigidas a la familia e hijos/as, que incluyen por ejemplo, asignaciones por maternidad, licencias por cuidado de hijos, subsidios familiares o la provisión de comida a niños/es en edad preescolar, fueron reducidas en 1.843 millones de €. En 1964 se publicó un estudio titulado "Money Facts" (Hechos del Dinero) que contiene una muy buena descripción de lo que la FED realmente es: "La Reserva Federal es una gran máquina de dinero. Puede emitir dinero o cheques. Y nunca tiene problema con pagar sus cheques porque puede obtener los billetes necesarios para cubrir sus cheques." Todo el mundo piensa que los bancos de la Reserva Federal y el Banco Central Europeo son instituciones del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos y de la Unión Europea. No son instituciones del Gobierno. Son monopolios privados de crédito. El Presidente de los EEUU, Richard Nixon, en 1971 Suspendió temporalmente la conversión en ORO de la divisa internacional reconocida para el intercambio de monedas, el dólar BAN. Esta medida con carácter PROVISIONAL se mantiene desde 1971. EL VALOR DE 1$ EN TERMINOS DE ORO ha pasado de un 100% en 1795 a casi cero. LA MAYOR PARTE DEL VALOR SE HA PERDIDO. La deuda de USA es de mas de 34 billones de dólares y sigue subiendo. EL ENDEUDAMIENTO FUE POSIBLE DESDE QUE EN EL AÑO 1971 EL PRESIDENTE RICHARD NIXON SUSPENDIERA LA CONVERSION DE DÓLAR A ORO - TEMPORALMENTE "Reserva Federal y Banco Central, imprimiendo tanto dinero-deuda, que muy pronto usaremos dólares y euros como papel higiénico”. Y ahora permítanme que cite las palabras de Ciruelo en un articulo titulado “Mundo legal: La canalización de Energía mediante el dinero (curren-cy)”. “El mundo actual se basa en la gestión de la energía humana mediante engaños en donde los humanos se encuentran en granjas virtuales donde los cultivan y ordeñan su energía, ya sean discotecas, grandes conciertos, o en cualquier otra acumulación de gente mediante recompensas económicas, o supuestas necesidades de servicios, como la musica celestial; que a su vez reinvierten en servicios del propio sistema, como bancos, compañías telefónicas, que se descargan mediante vales promisorios impresos por los propios bancos, por tanto es un sistema abierto que recoge la energía para divertirla en asuntos oscuros como muestra esta exposición de hechos aquí abajo. La Banca siempre gana. Banco= los bancos del río dirigen la corriente del río, no es casualidad el nombre. El movimiento es energía, la voz es también energía aunque vibratoria; todo se mueve por energía, y el concepto del dinero es un instrumento para concentrar o difundir energía según los que manejan este sistema bancario internacional: así mismo se llama current-cy=current-Sea=ley marítima=corriente del mar, la corriente del rio lleva al mar y lleva energía en dicha corriente, por eso el sistema monetario mundial utiliza principios de la ley del almirantazgo marítimo referente a la energía. La palabra moneda (currentcy) se originó a partir de la palabra latina currens , el participio presente de currere , que significa “correr”. Ahora, ¿por qué basarían la palabra moneda en una palabra latina que no tiene mucho que ver con el papel moneda o la moneda? Porque no se trata realmente del papel moneda o moneda. ¡En cambio, se trata de aprovechar la energía de la humanidad! Para descubrir por qué la moneda tiene una fuerte relación con la energía, necesita conocer los significados ocultos de la palabra moneda. Para hacer esto, necesita usar la fonética y separar la palabra moneda en dos palabras. Cuando se habla en voz alta, la palabra moneda suena similar al término “corriente del mar”. ¿Qué hace una corriente en un río?¡ Fluye o corre hacia el mar ! Tenga en cuenta que la palabra latina currens significa ” correr “. La palabra current/corriente también puede significar “fluir; fluir , como de un río “o” algo que fluye, como una corriente eléctrica “. El movimiento fluido de las corrientes es lo que hace que el agua dulce en el río fluya hacia el mar. Una vez que el agua dulce está en el mar, su corriente ahora es parte del “mar actual” o la ”corriente del mar“. Una cosa importante que debes saber sobre las palabras banco y moneda es que están relacionadas con la palabra río. ¿Qué tiene un río en sus dos lados para evitar que salga agua? ¡ Riberas del río! Los bancos son como ríos porque regulan la moneda. En otras palabras, regulan el flujo de energía, al igual que las orillas de los ríos regulan el flujo de la energía del agua. No combinaron la palabra river y la palabra banks para hacer la palabra riverbanks por accidente. La palabra moneda también suena similar a “corriente-chi”. En chino, la palabra chi significa “energía natural”, “fuerza vital” o “flujo de energía”. Con base en estas definiciones, moneda significa “flujo de energía”. Cuando realmente piensas en ello, la moneda es un medio para intercambiar energía. Cuando vas a trabajar a una empresa, la compañía a menudo te paga cada hora. Cada hora se registra para asegurarse de que se le pague por invertir su tiempo y energía en la empresa. Después de haber trabajado durante un cierto período de tiempo, recibe un cheque semanal o quincenal, generalmente los viernes. Una vez que lleva su cheque de pago al banco para cobrarlo en efectivo, la moneda ahora representa su tiempo y energía. Esta energía es luego utilizada por los Controladores para cargar sus corporaciones (“cadáveres” o “entidades muertas”), bancos y otros sistemas de comercio, para que puedan mantener su juego de estafar a la humanidad. Sin nuestra energía para cargar sus corporaciones y sistemas de comercio, su estafa no tendrá suficiente poder para mantenerse.” Y es que tal y como cuenta G. Edward Griffin en su libro “La Criatura de Isla Jekyll” El Sistema de la Reserva Federal no es federal; no cuenta con reservas; y no es un sistema, sino más bien, un sindicato criminal. El sistema de la Reserva Federal fue aprobado bajo el mandato de Woodrow Wilson que se doctoró en Ciencias políticas por la Universidad Johns Hopkins en Maryland tierra de jesuitas. Un presidente masón doctorado en una universidad jesuita consigue a la tercera que por fin un banco privado sea el creador del dinero de la primera potencia mundial. El escritor G. Edward Griffin nos cuenta en “La Criatura de Isla Jekyll: Una Conferencia sobre la Reserva Federal” como una delegación de los financieros más importantes del país salieron de la estación de tren en Hoboken en misión secreta…años más tarde se supo que fueron a la Isla Jekyll. En dicha isla Jekyll existía el Island Club también conocido como El Club de Millonarios fue fundado ni más ni menos que por Henry Hyde Baldwin multimillonario propietario de la mayor empresa de seguros de aquella época. Los siete dr. Jekyll y el mostruoso mr. Hyde: el banco de la reserva federal JP Morgan, Nelson Aldrich, A. Piatt Andrew, Paul Warburg, Henry Davison, Frank A. Vanderlip y Benjamin Strong. En la isla Jekyll se reunieron en secreto durante nueve días siete hombres muy acaudalados y poderosos y crearon el Sistema de la Reserva Federal que nació tres años más tarde, el 23 de diciembre de 1913 con la mitad de los congresistas de vacaciones mediante una ley del Congreso. Desde entonces, la nación y el mundo nunca volvieron a ser lo mismo, sólo se beneficiaron los ricos y poderosos. De eso se trataba, y funcionó tal como lo planificaron. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Evidentemente nada es casual cuando alguien entra en política en 1910, y en su primera candidatura dos años más tarde a la elección como presidente gana dejando a sus propios compañeros del partido demócrata compuestos y sin novia. Tal y como podemos leer en la wikipedia: La convención demócrata de 1912 en Baltimore (Nota UTP.Maryland, je, je, je…un clásico) fue una de las convenciones más dramáticas de la historia de Estados Unidos; sólo las convenciones republicanas de 1880 y 1940, y la Convención Demócrata de 1952 son comparables. Los republicanos en su convención habían sentado las bases una semana antes, nominación corresponde William Howard Taft, con Theodore Roosevelt acechando a cabo, para poner en marcha una campaña independiente para dividir el voto de partido. O sea, los demócratas solo presentaban un candidato y los republicanos dos candidatos, tal y como cuenta la wiki: El actual presidente, William Howard Taft, fue reelegido como candidato por el Partido Republicano con el apoyo de su ala conservadora. El ex presidente Theodore Roosevelt no pudo recibir la nominación republicana, llamó a su propia convención y creó el Partido Progresista. …FUE UNA RARA ELECCIÓN A TRES… Si saben sumar verán que los republicanos hubieran ganado tranquilamente…pero parece que la mano de Hyde quería que la criatura de Jekyll (Wilson) saliese elegido, como así fue. Y con él a la tercera fue la vencida… Woodrow Wilson fue uno de los impulsores de La Sociedad de Naciones, verdadero germen de la ONU y que por fortuna al no llegar a fructificar retraso ligeramente los planes del NWO. Es también conocido por continuar la construcción del canal de Panamá y por declarar la guerra a Alemania por el hundimiento del Lusitania. Pueden encontrar el libro de Edward Griffin en esta web en ingles aunque se que hay copias en castellano como ésta que posiblemente desaparezcan. Esta criatura nos ha costado tal y como reconoce el autor de este libro: – Primero: la erupción de la Primera Guerra Mundial que se hizo posible por los fondos disponibles del nuevo banco central de los Estados Unidos. – Segundo, la Depresión Agrícola de 1920. – Tercero, la Caída del Viernes Negro en Wall Street, de octubre 1929, y la Gran Depresión resultante. – Cuarto, Segunda Guerra Mundial. – Quinto, la conversión de recursos de los Estados Unidos y sus ciudadanos de propiedades real por recursos de papel desde 1945 al presente, transformando una América victoriosa y el poder mundial más adelantado en 1945 en la más grande nación deudora del mundo en 1990. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

This one friendship made Teddy great and, likewise, made Taft a man for the ages. There is a great power in collaboration. And God designed this fantastic power to be realized in the function of His Church the world over.

Last time we spoke about the legendary battle of Tsushima. Admiral Rozhdestvenski traveled across the globe to bring the Baltic fleet to the Pacific to give a climactic fight to Admiral Togo's combined fleet. Yet during the journey, Port Arthur fell leaving the only destination to be Vladivostok and they would have to take a perilous journey through the Tsushima strait to get to her. Rozhdestvenski's grand journey meant his ships were ill maintained and the crews had no time for training. The Japanese meanwhile had trained vigorously and brought new technological advantages into the mix that would significantly tip the scale. The Russian baltic fleet was absolutely annihilated at a minimal lose for the IJN. The battle of Tsushima became one of the most famous naval battles in history and its decisive nature would become indoctrinated in the IJN until the end of WW2.    #84 The Russo-Japanese War part 11: The Portsmouth Treaty    Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. I have to start this podcast by repeating a funny little bit from this week. One of my bosses over at Kings and Generals suddenly messages me on discord and says “hey what's going on with the China Podcast, are we doing a series on the Russo-Japanese War now?” And to this I laughed, because he had a good point, I am sure there are a lot of you who were wondering….well why are we spending so much time on this, if the Fall and Rise of China podcast is ..well about China. The Russo-Japanese War would have a profound effect on China and global history. Something many forget, this entire war occurred within China, a nation not officially taking part in the conflict! Having a war break out between two other empires within your borders was an absolutely humiliating situation. China had just lost a war against the Russians in Manchuria. When the war broke out, China declared neutrality and asked both sides to not violate her territory, which both did without a care in the world. The Chinese did help the Japanese, especially the Honghuzi. Now the 1st Sino-Japanese War had left quite a foul taste in the mouth of the Chinese, but during the Russo-Japanese War some Pan-Asianim did develop. The Chinese public gradually began supporting the Japanese, there were quite a lot of youth in China demanding the Qing government allow them to enlist and help fight off the Russians. Countless Chinese helped with labor, working in a vast spy network and sold both sides provisions. When the Russians lost the battle of Tsushima and Mukden, there were many influential and future influential figures that celebrated this. Notably Mahatma Gandhi, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Jawaharlal Nehru and Sun Yat-Sen were deeply influenced by the Japanese victory. Why were they so influenced, because it was the first time a non-white nation had defeated a white one, and not just that, one of the great powers. The Russian Empire was in the public's mind, defeated handily by a small asiatic nation, it was a david and goliath story come true. Ironically, the Yellow Peril which Kaiser Wilhelm had utilized to usher in the war was turned up to 100 when the Japanese won.Now all that is fine and dandy, but there was another dramatic effect this war would hold over Japan and China. We technically have not spoken about “the end” of the Russo-Japanese War, there is actually another battle and the peace negotiations to discuss. It is here things will occur that will actually lay the groundwork for WW2. So now we are heading back into the story. The Japanese had won at Mukden and now at Tsushima, so that was that, they had won the war right? The Russians had taken up a new defensive position in northern Manchuria and were still being reinforced, 2 corps were enroute. In the war of attrition, the Russians would eventually win, despite having no naval ability, they would simply overwhelm the Japanese with numbers. Both nations faced bankruptcy, but the Russians were able to take larger loans from France and Germany, thus the situation was from a financial point of view more perilous for Japan. 53% of Japan's annual revenue had been devoted to the war effort. For Russia, the humiliation and financial ruin was accompanied by a full blown revolution. Thus both nations really needed the war to end and fast. Now comes in my favorite US president, Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt was one of the few at the offset of the war to place his bet on a Japanese victory. He also attempted to resolve the disputes between the two empires before the war broke out, often citing the Kaiser's Yellow Peril propaganda as being a main culprit to the hostilities. Roosevelt wrote to the British diplomat, Cecil Spring Rice that he believed Wilhelm should bear partial responsibility for the war "as he has done all he could to bring it about". Roosevelt is a fascinating figure. He was of course a product of his time, a 19th century man, he had views of white superiority, but demonstrated a certain tolerance towards nonwhites. This extended itself a lot towards the Japanese, there was a lot about the Japanese he admired. After the battle of Tsushima Roosevelt wrote “even the battle of Trafalgar could not match this. I grew so excited that I myself became almost like a Japanese, and I could not attend to official duties.” Roosevelt famously practiced judo with Japanese opponents and avidly read Nitobe Inazo's “Bushido”. Roosevelt was sent many books from his friend at Harvard, Kaneko Kentaro and wrote in appreciation “Perhaps I was most impressed by this little volume on Bushido. …It seems to me, my dear Baron, that Japan has much to teach to the nations of the Occident, just as she has something to learn from them. I have long felt that Japan's entrance into the circle of the great civilized powers was of good omen for all of the world.Certainly I myself, hope that I have learned not a little from what I have read of the fine Samurai spirit, and from the way in which that spirit has been and is being transformed to meet the needs of modern life.” In some ways perhaps you could call Roosevelt a Japanophile, but I would stress, like any white elites of the 19th century, he still had ingrained in him a sense that whites, notably white anglo saxons were the most civilized in the world.  It should come to no surprise, Roosevelt who publicly spoke well of the Japanese during the war, found the Japanese coming to him to help mediate the peace. Now as much as Roosevelt had openly favored the Japanese during the conflict, now there was a looming issue on the American president's mind. The Japanese were aggressively expanding in Asia and the Pacific, this was not something Roosevelt liked very much. After the fall of Port Arthur, Roosevelt wrote “if Japan tries to gain from her victory in the Russo-Japanese War more than she ought to have, she will array against her all the great powers, and however determined she may be she cannot successfully face an allied world”. Roosevelt was greatly troubled by the potential threat Japan posed against America's own increasing strength and influence in the asia-pacific. He would dispatch one General Arthur MacArthur, for you Pacific War week by week podcast listeners, yes I managed to bring MacArthur into this one. Arthur MacArthur was sent on a tour of the far east in 1905 and he was of course accompanied by his wife and a young Lt Douglas MacArthur who would go on to write ‘The purpose of our observations was to measure the strength of the Japanese Army and its method of warfare … But I had the uneasy feeling that the haughty, feudalistic samurai who were their leaders, were, through their victories, planting the seed of eventual Japanese conquest of the Orient.' No worries I am not going to turn this into a MacArthur rant. Roosevelt's agreed to act as a mediator before the battle of Tsushima. After the Tsushima victory, the Japanese expected they would receive large benefits from peace talks. They had good reason to believe so, Russia had lost on the land and sea, revolution was burning within the empire. Anarchists attacked the Tsar's uncle and brother in law, Grand Duke Serge Alexandroitich, the governor general of Moscow. Riots and anti-war demonstrations were widespread, violence was found in major Russian cities. From the Russian point of view, the Japanese had committed all her available manpower in the field, thus only mediation could save Japan from incoming disaster. In many ways it was a kind of race, who would run out of men first? Japan because she literally had a much smaller population, or would the Russian people simply overthrow the Tsar regime? Both regimes also were verging bankruptcy, whose dollar would run out first? Russia had not lost any of “her” territory, something Roosevelt was quick to point out to the Japanese. Thus Roosevelt was sort of winking at the Japanese that they should secure Russian territory so they had more bargaining power at the peace table, so the Japanese went to work. Japan and Russian had signed a treaty in 1875, the Treaty of Saint Petersburg that saw Japan ceding part of Sakhalin island to Russia in exchange for the Kuril islands. Now by the time of the Russo-Japanese war the population of Sakhalin was roughly 30,000 including 4000 Ainu. The island held a large prison and was used as a place for those Russia sought to exile. Overall it was not a very significant territory to the Russians. Its climate as you can imagine, was quite harsh, even by Russian standards. The Russians had a garrison of 7280 men on the island, the majority were conscripted farmers, hunters and prisoners with little in terms of training or equipment. They were led by General Mikhail Nikolaevich Lyapunov, who had been appointed military governor of Sakhalin in 1898. He had joined the military academy at the age of 16, but quickly found a talent in law, so he became a lawyer, while continuing his military career on the side. Thus the man was not particularly experienced in terms of war.  After the battle of Tsushima, the Japanese quickly wrangled together a force of 14,000 men for the brand new 13th IJA division led by General Haraguchi Kensai. Admiral Kataoka Shichiro assembled a naval force at Aomori Bay of 8 armored cruisers, 9 destroyers, 4 coastal defense ships and 12 torpedo boats to transport the division for an invasion of Sakhalin. The naval force departed on July 5th and landed in Aniwa Bay and near the port of Korsakov. They faced little opposition, a second group landed closer to Korsakov where they destroyed a battery of field artillery and defeated a small Russian force. The Japanese quickly advanced against Korsakov the next day, but the garrison of 2000 Russians led by Colonel Josef Arciszweski there had burned it to the ground. On July 8th the IJN force cleared Chitose Bay and on the 10th occupied Kindo Cape. Meanwhile the 13th division advanced north, taking the village of Vladimirovka. Colonel Arciszweski had dug to resist the Japanese, but his force was quickly outflanked and they withdrew into mountains within the interior of the island. By July 16th, Arciszweski surrendered his forces. Around 200 Russians were captured, the Japanese had suffered 18 deaths and 58 wounded. On the 17th 1905 General Lyapunov, through a representative, sent a message to General Kensai "Your Excellency! The lack of medicines and dressings and, as a result, the lack of the possibility of rendering assistance to the wounded, forced me to propose to Your Excellency to cease hostilities for purely humane reasons." General Haraguchi responded by demanding that General Lyapunov surrender all weapons and all movable and immovable state property that were intact, as well as the surrender of all maps, documents, papers related to the military department and administration. On the 19th General Lyapunov at his headquarters in the village of Onor gave the order: "The lack of food and firearms, as well as entrenching tools, the lack of sanitary facilities, the enormous numerical superiority of the Japanese army and the absence of a prepared path of retreat put us in such a situation when which further resistance would be useless bloodshed. In view of this, having received an offer from the commander of the Japanese army, which landed on the island, to surrender, I convened a military council, at which, to discuss the general situation...". On the 24th the Japanese landed in northern Sakhalin near Alexandrovsk-Sakhalinsky. The Russians had 5000 troops under the direct control of General Lyapunov. Lyapunov chose to flee the city with his forces and later surrendered seeing the Japanese capture 3200 men, 79 officers and General Lyapunov. He was the only Russian governor to surrender during the war. The Japanese would also capture another 1260 soldiers around Onor with a large stockpile of weapons, ammunition and food. After all was said and done, the battle for Sakhalin saw the Russians suffer 181 deaths, thousands taken prisoner. With that done with, the Japanese now had officially seized Russian territory. Alongside this the Japanese re-signed the Anglo-Japanese alliance for another 10 years and entered talks with the US regarding their positions over Korea and the Philippines. The Taft-Katsura agreement between William Howard Taft and Count Katsura Taro saw the US agree Japan should seek a protectorate over Korea, and Japan agreed the Philippines should be left under the good governance of the US. It should be noted this was all “a agreement” nothing was signed. In many ways it was a betrayal of Korea by the US, as the Americans and Koreans had signed an amity and commerce treaty in 1882, which the Koreans assumed was a mutual defense treaty. Regardless, the Japanese were securing their poker hand before heading into the negotiations. The peace negotiations were held at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Russian peace team was led by Sergius Witte who quickly stressed Russia had not been beaten and the war was very much still on. He also began privately complaining to all that it was his view the Japanese sought to gain as much loot from an agreement as possible. He was 100% correct in that assumption. Witte also made it clear, the Tsar's position in regards to Korea had not changed and that Russia would never pay a rouble in war indemnities. The Japanese were lead by Baron Komura, a harvard graduate. He came into the negotiations immediately demanding Korea was in the sphere of Japanese influence, that the Russians should depart Manchuria, the cession of Sakhalin, the granting of new fishing rights along the Russian coast, the spoils of war to be agreed upon and of course a fat sum of war indemnities. The teams had arrived on August 8th of 1905, and would stay at the Hotel Wentworth in New Castle. The actual negotiations took place at the General Stores Building, furnished with Mahogany furniture from the Cabinet Room of the White House. The conference was arranged so the most difficult parts would come last, namely, indemnities and Sakhalin. There were 12 sessions held between August 9th to the 30th. During the first 8 sessions, both sides reached an agreement on 8 points.  There should be an immediate ceasefire. The Russians would recognize  Japanese claims over Korea. The Russian forces would evacuate Manchuria.  Russia would cede its leases over Port Arthur and Dalien, the South Manchuria Railway and some mining concession, and Russia would retain the Chinese Eastern Railway in northern Manchuria. The next 4 points were much trickery.  On August the 15th the two vexed subjects were brought forth, Sakhalin and indemnity payments. It seemed the American public opinion over these issues had swung to the Russians. Witte, briefed by the Tsar stated there would be no payments for the return of Sakhalin and no indemnities, and stressed the Russians remained resolved to continue fighting. The Russians were very aware of Japan's financial distress and concluded that a demand for indemnity would be their most pressing concern. During the talks Roosevelt would later write ‘This (the indemnity) would never have been entertained by him, and he had calculated that the Peace Conference would break down on this point, and the struggle be continued until Japan could raise no more money.'On the issue Roosevelt intervened and advised the Japanese that if she did not abandon her claims for an indemnity, the world would come to believe the war had been fought for financial gain. Roosevelt on the 18th proposed dividing Sakhalin. Witte countered this on the 23rrd proposing Japan keep Sakhalin and drop her claims of indemnities. Komura rejected this proposal prompting Witte to warn him he was instructed to cease negotiations and resume the war. This ultimatum was met by 4 new Russian divisions arriving to Manchuria and Witte made a public display of literally showing everyone himself packing his bags preparing to leave. The Russians were convinced the Japanese could not afford to resume the war and were making a grand display to the Americans and Japanese that Russia would never agree to paying a single rouble. Komura was not in a good position and caved into the demands. The Japanese agreed in exchange for the southern half of Sakhalin they would drop their claims for indemnities. On September 5th, the treaty was signed, and ratified on the 10th of October in Japan, and the 14th for Russia. A random little side note, during the war Montenegro had declared war on Japan, but everyone kind of forgot about this and no mention of Montenegro was made in the treaty so technically Japan and Montenegro were at war until 2006 when Japan officially ended the war. Witte wrote to the New York Times about the treaty “The judgement of all observers here, whether pro-Japanese or pro-Russian, is that the victory is as astonishing a thing as ever was seen in diplomatic history. A nation hopelessly beaten in every battle of the war, one army captured and the other overwhelmingly routed, with a navy swept from the seas, dictated her own terms to the victory”. His rather bombastic claims were well warranted as the treaty signing had a profound effect on Japan. The Japanese public exploded. The over taxation for the war effort, the loss of so many sons and fathers had prompted the Japanese public to believe they were owed a lot. From the point of view of the Japanese public, the only news they received was endless victories over the lands and seas, they had no idea of the financial plight of their nation. When they heard the terms of the treaty, riots exploded. The most famous riots occurred in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo where activities and protesters assembled some 30,000 people strong. They marched upon the Imperial Palace grounds and rampaged the city for over 2 days. They especially targeted government buildings, the police, Russian property, but notably that of the US. From the publics view, Roosevelt and America had backstabbed them. Russian and American missionary churches were vandalized, martial law was erected. Over 350 buildings were damaged, 17 people were killed, 450 policemen, 48 firemen and civilians were injured. Prime Minister Katsura Taro's cabinet collapsed. While Roosevelt earned a nobel peace prize for his efforts, Japan's extremely positive view of America had dramatically soured. Its hard to picture it given the history of WW1 and WW2, but until this point America was kind of seen as a good big brother to Japan all things considered. The Japanese felt cheated of their rightful claims as victors of the war. Take this into consideration. During the 1st sino-Japanese War, Japan was denied her spoils by the triple intervention of France, Germany and Russia. During the Boxer Rebellion, the Russians used the situation to encroach into Manchuria, which Japan saw as a direct threat. Japan from her perspective won the Russo-Japanese War and now the US was stealing her spoils from her. From the Japanese perspective she deserved recognition as a great power and furthermore recognition as being racially equal. I wont delve to deeply into it, but after WW1, Japan would receive another similar and egregious wound when President Woodrow Wilson denied Japan's request to be recognized as racially equal to the other great powers. That would become the last straw, that drove Japan away from the west and towards WW2. But this is not a Japanese podcast haha, I apologize if I sometimes go in that direction its what I specialized in.  The Russo-Japanese War saw the Japanese suffer 58,000 to 86,000 deaths, for the Russians it was between 43,000 and 120,000. Of the casualties, the Japanese had lost perhaps 59,000 from combat, 27,000 from disease. For the Russians 34-53,000 died from combat and 9-19,000 from disease with another 75,000 captured. And let us not forget the Chinese who would see 20,000 civilian deaths and a financial loss of over 69 million taels. While the Japanese treated the tens of thousands of Russian prisoners extremely well considering what POW treatment would look like during WW1 and WW2, the treatment of Chinese was abysmal. The war between Russia and Japan occurred on Chinese soil, but China was powerless to prevent it and suffered human and financial loss. This added to the Chinese public's sense of humiliation. Alongside this, the treaty of Portsmouth basically started an annexation process of Korea to Japan, but it also handed a ton of privileges and extraterritorial rule over to Japan. Now Japan had her feet firmly set in Manchuria, weakening Qing rule. If you were part of the elites in the Qing dynasty and your responsibility was to improve the empire, it seems investigating how Japan beat Russia should be on top of your list of “to do's”.  Indeed, as we spoke a lot about during the 1st sino japanese war, Japan and China took different paths to modernization in the face of western imperialism. Japan did not defeat Russia solely because of the modernization of her army, Japan had thoroughly organized and prepared her populace for modern politics, military, economic, social and culture….while China struggled behind. China needed to emulate certain aspects, like Japan had to strengthen herself. When Japan and Russia signed the treaty of Portsmouth they were exchanging benefits and many of these were not theirs to take or give, but rather Chinas! Imagine you were a subject of the Qing dynasty living in Manchuria where your home may have been destroyed, perhaps you lost loved ones to the conflict, what did your government do? Nothing. It was a watershed moment for the common people of China, their government did absolutely nothing in the face of all of it. The intellectual class of China was enraged and invigorated by it all. There was this tremendous sense they as a people needed to improve in terms of politics, military, societal, economic, education and culture, China needed to actually modernize. The Qing dynasty was being seen by many as decrepit, too old and stuck in its ways.   In the historical context China was entering the “late Qing reforms” or “new policies” period. This actually began in 1901, but I believed it was very important to get the Russo-Japanese War story into the mix before I dabbled into this very complex part of modern Chinese history. The Qing dynasty is soon coming to its end. Stating all of that I thought it would be a cool time to do a bit of housekeeping. You Mr or Mrs listener, I'd love to hear from you. As you likely know I write and narrate the two podcast Pacific War week by week and the Fall and Rise of China Podcast's for Kings and Generals. However, I also happen to be a Youtuber, and Podcaster on the side. I have the Pacific War Channel where you can find content about the history of Asia from the 1830's until the end of the Pacific war in 1945, in many ways its like this podcast. I also awkwardly have a podcast platform called “the pacific war channel”, and as you can imagine its a bit directionless since …well lets be honest its redundant given these two podcasts I do. I have been trying to think about how to change that podcast around and I would love to hear from you guys. Best way to give feedback, toss comments on my Youtube channel, or join my Pacific War Channel discord, found on my Youtube channel page. I have a few idea's myself, perhaps doing a more general history focused podcast where I tell stories just like the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, but my god in much short series haha, let's say in 3 parters and such. Or I could do an entire other podcast series on The Rise and Fall of Japan, see what I did there with the titles? Yeah that ones been in the back on my mind for awhile. I could also take on a co-pilot for the podcasts so its not only single narration, similar to Tom Holland's “the rest is history”. There's a ton of directions I can go in, but one thing is for sure, the “Pacific War Channel Podcast” needs a new direction, probably a new name as well.  Also and I know its annoying, but a big thank you to all of you who check out the Pacific War channel on Youtube and my Patreon where I make monthly patreon exclusive podcasts. I would love to go full time one day, but alas the Youtube game is a hard one. If you get the chance please check out my Youtube channel, I am now as we speak unleashing a multiple part series on the Japanese invasion of Manchuria 1931-1932, something barely anyone covers. Most historians give it about a few paragraphs, but it was quite a complicated event. I am trying to tackle the 15 year war between Japan and China from 1931-1945 in a chronological order, event by event and such. Stating all of that I love all you guys, and here comes the same outro I do every single time haha. I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube. Please go subscribe to Kings and Generals over at Youtube and to continue helping us produce this content please check out www.patreon.com/kingsandgenerals. If you are still hungry after that, give my personal channel a look over at The Pacific War Channel at Youtube, it would mean a lot to me. One Empire has Risen like a bright Sun as another, tumbles down like a large bear. Asia henceforth will completely change, now the Japanese dominate the landscape. Yet what of China? How will the common Chinese take to this latest round of humiliation? The Qing dynasty is hanging by a thread and that thread is about to be cut.

Today on Here's Where It Gets Interesting, Sharon sits down with author Alex Prud'homme about his book, Dinner with the President, all about White House food. He is the coauthor of his aunt Julia Child's memoir, My Life in France, and merges Presidential history with dishes that were the height of sophistication at one point. An on ramp to this book and conversation can be summarized in this passage: “Presidential meals often had personal meaning, and sometimes con­tained coded political messages. James Garfield and Dwight Eisenhower liked bowls of squirrel soup. William Howard Taft had a taste for possum. Zachary Taylor died after eating cherries and drinking cold milk. Wood­row Wilson had chronic indigestion and consumed dubious elixirs, yet he and Herbert Hoover saved millions of lives with innovative food poli­cies. The gourmand Theodore Roosevelt and his gourmet cousin Frank­lin D. Roosevelt led the nation over bison steaks and terrapin soups. (A gourmand is someone who eats and drinks to wretched excess. A gour­met is a connoisseur of fine dining.) JFK liked clam chowder, LBJ favored chili, Richard Nixon ate cottage cheese almost every day, and George W. Bush liked ballpark hot dogs. The presidents' food choices reflected the state of the nation.”Hosted by: Sharon McMahonGuest: Alex Prud'hommeExecutive Producer: Heather JacksonAudio Producer: Jenny SnyderResearcher: Valerie Hoback Hosted on Acast.

Presidents Trivia Alright! This episode is all about Presidents from the United States trivia. We are grateful to have Major Data on this episode.

It's January 24th. This day in 1909, the administration of William Howard Taft has gone completely possum crazy — and is desperately trying to make “Billy Possum” a mascot along the lines of the Teddy Bear. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why Taft was so infatuated with the possum, and the key differences between the origin stories of the Teddy Bear and Billy Possum marketing campaigns.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, isolationists fit right into the fusion of George Soros and Charles Koch parroting the pacifistic propaganda of keeping America out of endless wars or radical interventionism. President Reagan's view was that enemies couldn't be contained therefore prudently going on offense was his preferred alternative. However, the leftist and/or the pacifist pigeonhole any activity that doesn't bow down to an opposing regime as an "escalation" to weaken the U.S position and prevent America from asserting any dominance against aggressive foreign actors. Then, throughout our history Pat Buchannan, and before him, William Howard Taft embraced similar isolationist positions unsuccessfully. Charles Lindbergh also tried this but corrected the course because he realized he was wrong. Reagan understood this and Donald Trump did too that's why he took out Iranian General Soleimani. These populist and isolationist agendas must be rejected because there isn't a single example of pacifism ever succeeding in the face of aggression. Later, U.S Sen. Candidate Rep. Mo Brooks joins the show to explain how Sen. Mitch McConnell continues to smear his campaign. Brooks is a conservative member of the House Freedom Caucus with the support of Libertarians and Constitutional Conservatives. Finally, former Trump Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway calls in to discuss her new book, Here's the Deal: A Memoir. She explained that Donald Trump plucked her from obscurity and made her the first woman campaign manager to win a presidential campaign. Conway describes how she met Trump years earlier and the challenges she endured with the political differences she had with her husband who criticized Trump and was part of the Lincoln Project. https://www.amazon.com/Untitled-Memoir-Be-Confirmed-Threshold/dp/1982187344/ref=sr_1_1?crid=26XRJ74AU2WGF&keywords=kellyann+conway+book&qid=1653318903&sprefix=KellyAnne+Conway+%2Caps%2C237&sr=8-1 Learn more about your ad choices.
