Part 1 was on Catherine the Great of Russia (18thc). Great women, powerful women leaders of the past who ruled unashamed of their femininity. Here, an Introduction to Isabella (in 2 parts), woman and monarch: How she became Queen, War of Accession to the throne, conflicts regarding marrying whom she wanted, installing law and order in the country, forming one whole united country out of many individual kingdoms. In the second video, we shall deal with the Discovery of the New World - the only monarch who believed Columbus - and the thorny issues for which she's known in the English-speaking world: the Inquisition and the Expulsion of the Jews. #history, #IsabellaofSpaint, #historyofSpain, #womenleaders, #womeninpower, #womeninpolitics, #greatleaders, #empires, #empresses,

Mr. Charles Sebag-Montefiore, President of the Community of Spanish and Portuguese Jews in London, was in the Chair.

Roger Casement Speech (1916) against the subjugation of Ireland by England. "Loyalty is a sentiment, not a law. It rests on love, not on restraint. The government of Ireland by England rests on restraint, and not on law; and since it demands no love, it can evoke no loyalty..." "Self-government is our right, a thing born in us at birth, a thing no more to be doled out to us, or withheld from us, by another people as the right to life itself - than the right to feel the sun, or smell the flowers, or to love our kind. It is only from the convict that these rights are withheld, for crimes committed and proven - and Ireland, that has wronged no man, has injured no land, that has sought no dominion over others - Ireland is being treated today among the nations of the world as if she were a convicted criminal. If it be treason to fight against such an unnatural fate as this, then I am proud to be a rebel, and shall cling to my 'rebellion' with the last drop of my blood". Roger Casement, 1916. He was condemned to death and hanged. Support the channel: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Interpre... https://YouTube.com/@interpretingtrad... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/inter...

Reflections on Good Friday. War between Ultimate Love and Deepest Hatred continues. The War that started with the Crucifixion of Jesus, the Christ (Messiah)- "My kingdom is not of this World" - and the Pharisees and High Priest Caiaphas' "We have no king but Caesar" continues. God looks at each of us through the eyes of the poor and the suffering. Today, Good Friday 2024, the Commemoration of His Death and Crucifixion, Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, is suffering starvation with the people in Gaza, "despised and rejected". Like lambs led to the slaughter. Jesus came for all of mankind. #christianlove, #inmorality, #ancienthatreds, #goodfriday, #passionofchrist, #gazastarvation, #christianity, #christianteachings, Link to the Oxford Oratory (UK), Good Friday Liturgy of the Passion.

"Nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate, antipathy against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded (from government)....The nation which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interests". President George Washington (1732-99), on 17 September 1796: Farewell Address. "Observe good faith and justice towards all nations". As he approached the end of his second term as President in 1796, George Washington, aafter forty-five years of public service, was mentally and physically exhausted and tired of the personal attacks on him. His thoughts turned to retirement and he conceived the idea of bequeathing to Americans a legacy of the ideas that inspired him. He warns ox extremism in political parties (factions), habitual hatred towards one nation, habitual affection for another; for the union of the whole nation. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Interpretingtra https://YouTube.com/@interpretingtradition https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC5baaWZ6cZJv3uFYFQ https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/interpretingtraditio Twitter: @InterpretingT Interpretingtradition@gmail.com

Both Absolute Rulers, Isabella (16th century), Catherine (18th).

Much earlier but in the vein of Orwell's "1984" (1940s) and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" (1930s), a short story written in 1920 from the book "If the War Goes On... Reflections on War and Politics" by Hermann Hesse. Clearly, this was not against the Soviet State or the Nazi regime but against the new nascent, panoptic, overreaching, omnipresent Western Bureaucracy. (The word 'bureaucracy' deriving, of course, from bureau - French for office, department). In any case, the loss of individual freedom vis-à-vis the all powerful State.

Los raros casos de Michelle Obama y Brigitte Macron. Y ahora, aunque completamente distinto, también un tanto raro: el de la Princesa de Gales. Parece banal el estar hablando de estas cosas con el sufrimiento de lo que está pasando en Gaza y en otros muchos sitios del mundo.

The strange cases of media stories about Michelle Obama and Brigitte Macron. I am aware that this is not that important, not when we consider all the real problems in the world: Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, and so many more. However, I cover it here because I think the importance, and relevance here is not WHAT the stories are, but WHY are they appearing now. There are only 2 possible answers: they are either true or they are false. If true, why now? If false, why now? Are they distractions?

#grahamgreene, #catholicfaith, #literature, #religiousbelief, #religiousfaith, #christianity, #thepowerandtheglory, #monsigneurquixote, In the later years of his life, Graham Greene's closest male friend was Father Leopoldo Durán, a Spanish Catholic priest. Over more than 20 years the two men would meet at least once a year and each summer they would set off by car, journeying throughout Galicia, North-West Spain, and Portugal. These holidays were extremely important to Greene, inspiring his last novel Monsignor Quixote. Besides documenting in fascinating detail their incidents and adventures, Durán's book gives the first informed account of the older Greene's Catholic Faith. Contrary to much opinion, Greene never divorced himself from the Church. His attitude is succinctly summarised in his words to Durán: "The trouble is, I don't believe my unbelief". "A richly comic and, for the most part, adorable portrait of two characters in search of a picnic spot". (Daily Telegraph) In this video I'm reading some anecdotes from Part 1 of the book "Graham Greene: Friend and Brother" to give a general idea of Graham Greene's personality. Fr. Durán kept a summary record of their discussions at the insistence of Greene himself. He was there when Graham Greene died and was the priest who Greene had made him promised would be at his bedside to administer the sacraments. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Interpretingtra https://YouTube.com/@interpretingtradition https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC5baaWZ6cZJv3uFYFQ https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/interpretingtraditio Twitter: @InterpretingT Interpretingtradition@gmail.com

Our new Western would-be dictators in short pants. Would you like the next Miss UK, Miss America, Miss France... to be a 'who' or a 'what'? Introduction to the work of Xavier-Louis de Izarra, French satirist. On Dictators and the New Miss World Competitions. Funny, but also alarming and frightening to discover the "impressive number of penguins devoid of humor, critical spirit, and finesse. His videos to "serve as educational working tools for teachers, in order to introduce the students to the study of text, to critical sense, to irony, to humor, to the questioning of certainties". The particular comical effect is due to "the gap between 'beautiful minds' and others with vegetable IQs. These latter, moreover, to be a material of choice for sociologists who would like to objectively evaluate the brain intelligence of an endive, a turnip, or a pepper". Two of his videos: "A pink show-off dictator.." https://youtu.be/uxQY2dn6awk?si=rAO8Whr_7kcX4myM "Miss France 2025..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLUrldOEOvA #humor, #politicalirony, #westernauthoritarianism, #progressivism, https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Interpretingtra https://YouTube.com/@interpretingtradition https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC5baaWZ6cZJv3uFYFQ https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/interpretingtraditio Twitter: @InterpretingT Interpretingtradition@gmail.com
