The Haitian Revolution, or The World’s Only Successful Slave Revolt

The Haitian Revolution was one of the most significant events in human history. Although continually eclipsed by the American and French Revolutions, which preceded and, to some extent, caused it, it irrevocably altered world history. It witnessed the first successful slave insurrection, established the first African-led republic in the new world, and had a tremendous impact on France, the United States, and the hemispheres surrounding states and territories. From its legendary beginnings in 1791 at a slave ceremony, to numerous interventions by the French, Spanish, and English, to the ultimate victory of independence in 1804, the Haitian Revolution can be difficult to follow and analyze. Indeed, many nineteenth-century officials simply refused to acknowledge that it had occurred and today we will be looking at this often forgotten event.

The White Ship, The Empress and The Anarchy (The Real Event that Inspired House of The Dragon)

The period that would inspire the House of The Dragon took place in England and Normandy between 1135 and 1153, in what historian called the Anarchy. An event that involved the announcement of Empress Matilda as the heir apparent to the throne, her cousin Stephen of Blois who wanted to seize the throne with the help of his brother, and a civil war the ensued inciting a bleak period of civil unrest and political upheaval and all this started with a shipwreck that would go down in British history as one of the worst maritime disasters. Changing the course of history for years to come.

Harvest Me In the Internet (Social Media and Data Harvesting)

In 2018, Mark Zuckerberg was called out in front of Congress. Biggest scandal in social media history in the 2000 tens personal data, belonging to millions of Facebook users was collected by British consulting firm called Cambridge Analytica through an app called your digital life, .This app consisted of questions, taking people's information, personal preference, and being sold to other people for political means and campaigns.

Tambora! (of Frankenstein, Opium, and The Year without Summer)

Mount Tambora, Located in Sumbawa island in the what is now Indonesia blew itself up with an apocalyptic force in April of 1815. Barely reported, no one linked that this eruption would leave a cascading worldwide weather disaster, gave birth to the Opium Trade, changing art and creating the genre of gothic fiction in the three years that followed.For Three Years following the explosion. To be alive in any corner of the world meant you were starving. In New England, 1816 was nicknamed “The Year without Summer” or “Eighteen Hundred and Froze to death”. Germans called 1817 “the year of the beggar”.

Who Will Take The Blame? (Russia and Ukraine: Post Soviet Union to Full on Invasion)

So, we believe that in order to fully comprehend and understand Russias decision to invade Ukraine. We should go back to the fall of the Soviet Union and how these two nation states were on a collision course due to dubious economic policies, empty promises, a pretty odd sense of nostalgia. Resulting in Putin pulling the trigger.. This is the first episode we did record, so be patient if its not perfect. Orginally recorded June 30th.

Report To Shareholders II: Update on our status during the Gaza Crisis and Donation links

In this episode, we share our reasons for taking a break from our podcast due to the mental toll of the Gaza situation. As Palestinians living abroad, we feel deeply connected to our homeland and our people who are suffering under the brutal Israeli occupation and blockade. We also feel helpless and frustrated by the lack of international action and media coverage of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We also urge our listeners to support the people of Gaza by donating to trusted organizations that provide humanitarian aid, medical care, and education. We provide some links and resources for you to learn more and get involved. Thank you for your understanding and solidarity. We hope to resume our podcast soon.If you cant support then please call for political action and share awareness.Donations: - https://pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/forms/gaza-relief- https://www.palestinercs.org/en/Donation- https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donateInsta: @convo_btweTwitter: convo_btweFacebook: A Conversation Before the World Ends Tiktok: convo_btwe
