Everything Everywhere Daily - China’s Imperial Dynasties

China has a long and rich history. For over 2,200 years, China, or at least parts of what we would recognize as China, was ruled by a series of imperial dynasties. 

These dynasties shaped the history of China and represented distinct eras in Chinese history, characterized by their unique political, cultural, and social systems.

The transition from one dynasty to the other often resulted in wars and changes in governmental organization and cultures. 

Learn more about the imperial dynasties of China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Colin Dickey, “Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shapes American Democracy” (Viking, 2023)

The United States was born in paranoia. From the American Revolution (thought by some to be a conspiracy organized by the French) to the Salem witch trials to the Satanic Panic, the Illuminati, and QAnon, one of the most enduring narratives that defines the United States is simply this: secret groups are conspiring to pervert the will of the people and the rule of law. We’d like to assume these panics exist only at the fringes of society, or are unique features of the internet age. But history tells us, in fact, that they are woven into the fabric of American democracy.

Cultural historian Dr. Colin Dickey has built a career studying how our most irrational beliefs reach the mainstream, why, and what they tell us about ourselves. In Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shape American Democracy (Viking, 2023), Dickey charts the history of America through its paranoias and fears of secret societies, while seeking to explain why so many people—including some of the most powerful people in the country—continue to subscribe to these conspiracy theories. Paradoxically, he finds, belief in the fantastical and conspiratorial can be more soothing than what we fear the most: the chaos and randomness of history, the rising and falling of fortunes in America, and the messiness of democracy. Only in seeing the cycle of this history, Dickey says, can we break it.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What A Day - Reopening Gaza’s Lifeline

President Biden will travel to Israel tomorrow. The high-stakes visit is meant to be a show of solidarity with Israel – while also sending a message to other countries in the region to keep the conflict with Hamas from escalating. The announcement also comes amid a continued push to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The federal government has reached a deal with the ACLU over the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy that separated thousands of migrant families. If approved, those families will be allowed to remain in the U.S. for three years, and will receive housing and legal aid to apply for asylum.

The Best One Yet - 🌃 “Saturday Night Thrive” — SNL’s YouTubification. Tesla’s 1st ad. The New Party Economy.

Saturday Night Live just began its 49th season on TV, but it’s not a TV show anymore — SNL is a YouTube show.

Tesla is facing pressure to do one thing it’s never done before — pay for a Tesla advertisement.

And we just got 2 conflicting stats: More people than ever are having dinner at 5pm… and partying after 11pm — It’s the New Party Economy.

The Daily Signal - It’s ‘the Darkest Day In Israeli History,’ Ex-Envoy Says

As the war between Hamas and Israel continues, President Joe Biden is set to visit Israel on Wednesday following an invitation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday. 

“I think it’s important for any American president to show support for, and solidarity with, Israel in its darkest hour. I mean, this is the darkest day in Israeli history,” Nathan Sales, former ambassador-at-large and coordinator for counterterrorism at the State Department, said prior to Biden’s trip being confirmed. “In the 75 years that the state of Israel has existed, we’ve never seen bloodshed and violence like this.”

“In fact, it’s the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust,” said Sales, a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. “Think about that. America needs to stand by our ally, our closest ally in the region and the only democracy in the region.” 

Politico reported Sunday that Biden could travel to the war-torn country “as early as this week.” 

“I think what I would like to hear from President Biden when he goes to Israel is ‘We’re going to change course on Iran. We are going to not just go after the tentacles of the octopus, the terrorist groups in Lebanon, the terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip,'” Sales said, continuing to cite what he thinks the president should say:

“We’re going to go after the head, the masters of this entire strategy. We’re going to hold them accountable as well. We’re going to deprive them of the resources that they’re investing in terror proxies to kill Jews. Oh, and by the way, to kill 30 Americans as well.”Will he actually say that? I’m not going to hold my breath.

Sales joins today’s episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how the U.S. can help Israel as the war continues, Iran’s history of supporting Hamas, and his thoughts on Biden’s comments during an interview with CBS that aired on Sunday night.
