No sooner had the aerial reconnaissance photographs of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea been analyzed than the evidence of China's island-building activities was forwarded to the Pentagon and the White House. Those satellite images revealed that the Chinese military was turning reefs and atolls into solid ground supporting airfields, ports, helipads and barracks. The discovery of new Chinese military staging areas adjacent to the earth's busiest shipping lanes for oil and natural gas was followed within weeks by China's announcement that they would purchase all of Russia's surplus...

Ever since 1993 when President Bill Clinton first spent his Summer vacation on Martha's Vineyard, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had been fascinated by the United States' willingness to have such a concentration of the nation's power elite, both governmental and otherwise, concentrated on this one-hundred square mile island in the Atlantic Ocean. It created such a perfect target for terrorists wanting to destabilize both the Administration and the nation as a whole. By August of 2015 al-Baghdadi was the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, more colloquially known as ISIS. Seeking political ...

Pope Francis was elected in 2013. As the first Jesuit pope, Francis brought to the papacy the agenda of social justice observed in Jesuit works across the globe. Pope Francis inherited scandals from the reassignment of pedophile priests in Boston to the abuse and neglect of unwed mothers, children and orphans at the Church-run Magdalene laundries in Ireland. But the one institution which no pope had ever been able to reign in was the Vatican Bank. Today Pope Francis is revered as an enlightened patriarch with an interest in climate change. When American company Solyndra, marketing "green" ...

In the Summer of 2021, the economy of the Russian Federation was teetering on the brink. The proceeds from the export sales of fossil fuels by Rosneft and Gazprom, the two state-owned crude oil and natural gas companies, was all that was propping it up. Then word reached Moscow that Saudi Arabia was going to release large new volumes of crude oil on the commodities markets sending the price plummeting and capturing a greater percentage of the export market. Russia’s economy could not withstand this. In order to diminish the Saudi supply of crude oil, Russia decided to launch an attack ...

Ever since the conclusion of World War II, which was precipitated by the dropping of two atomic bombs, one each on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the specter of the nuclear annihilation of mankind on this “big blue marble” has hung over society like an omnipresent cloud. During the Cold War, which lasted from 1947 until 1991, conventional wisdom held that the end of life on Earth would eventually be brought about by the exchange of nuclear weapons between the United States and the Soviet Union. And then, in 1957, British author Nevil Shute wrote the incendiary novel On ...

Diego Garcia is an island in the Indian Ocean. Technically a British Indian Ocean Territory, since 1966 it has been dominated by U.S. military facilities headed by Navy Support Facility Diego Garcia and its current 2,800 personnel. China’s lucrative trade route to Europe ran through the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Mediterranean. To help preserve European countries’ economies, the U.S. Navy established a quarantine against Chinese cargo vessels. This led to naval engagements between American and Chinese forces. Due to the inability to resolve the dispute diplomatically, ...

In 1949 the Communist Party of China (CPC) under the leadership of Mao Zedung drove the Kuomintang and their leader, Chiang Kai-shek, off the mainland and onto the island of Taiwan.

Although it is not formally a member of the United Nations and has no formal diplomatic relations with the United States, it has maintained a friendly relationship with the U.S. and the West for seventy years. For that period, the...

As you listen to Bethany Anne's story, you may be reminded of similar things from your childhood. You may cry a little with her as she learns how to deal with loss. You may "high five" her for being creative enough to solve some of her own problems, like finding a little refuge in a quiet space for a nap. You may laugh out loud to some of her reactions to situations when she tells it like it is, from a four-year-old's point of view, especially if it involves anything about food. Join her adventures as she introduces you to a way of looking at life, through the eyes of a four-year-old.

Forty-some years ago, my parents read and recorded stories for my children. From time to time I listen to them. They’re still wonderful to hear. I like to write. As to reading aloud, maybe I too can…. These stories are for my grandchildren. Some are snips and snails boy-stories, some are sugar and spice little-girl stories, others are for teens or adults. Some of these stories – images really – photo-developed onto the fertile mind of a little boy – that would be me – like a photo-negative – a long time ago, yet the images continue to bubble and etch like acid on an old ...

2 aprile 1985, ore 8.35 A Irisburg, una piccola città nella penisola scandinava, Nikki condivide una vita tranquilla e felice con la sua compagna Simone. Fuori c’è un mondo nuovo: il vecchio mondo patriarcale è stato spazzato via dal Contagio, una pandemia che per generazioni lo ha devastato. Il Contagio infatti era diffuso dagli uomini, che ora vengono quindi tenuti in quarantene a prova di fuga, mentre la società è riservata alle donne, chiamate “portatrici”. Solo così si può evitare che i corpi di portatrici e “diffusori” entrino in contatto.

This podcast explores the human urge to create. The title, Art & Artist, comes from a book by Otto Rank, who, along with Adler and Jung, was one of the intellectual giants in Sigmund Freud's inner circle.

Trey Knowles's Allegory Chronicles by Trey Knowles From abstract hidden messages to important historical events. Trey Knowles's Allegory Chronicles is intended to keep us from being burdened against the yoke of slavery all over again. Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you ...
