Trials at The Hague

I am doggedly focused on how we bring the sadistic cabal running Russia and the US to an end, and for that, I am bringing in multiple guests with experience documenting war tribunals at The Hague. We must see a world where accountability is real.

To that end, on Sunday, the Bette community has the opportunity to hear from Croatian author Slavenka Drakulić, who was present at the war crime trials for the leaders of the former Yugoslavia. You can find the full details here:

REMINDER: Bette's Speakeasy with Slavenka Drakulić on War Criminals on Trial in The Hague

In addition, on Tuesday, we begin a two-part series with Vesna Pusić, a Croatian sociologist and politician who served as First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs. Pusić said of her book, Democracies and Dictatorships, which also covered the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at The Hague: “I wrote about it thinking it was the past, but it turned out to be the future.”

The series is at 11 am Pacific, and begins Tuesday, February 17 and continues on February 24. Pre-registration links will arrive Sunday.

AI Series

On Sunday, February 22, geopolitical analyst Monique Camarra joins us to show how Russia is flooding the news-sphere with fakes, no longer to simply fool and confuse people but to train AI with false information. We’ll be talking about this and other news, and will be joined by our global crew of geopolitical and disinformation analysts.

Founder’s Day Series

As part of our AI Series, Emmy-award winning game developer Jim Stewartson, my podcast co-host, will be offering Bette members who support me at the Founding level a multi-part series on all things AI, what’s real, what’s hype, and what you need to know.
