Sachs is professor and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He has been special adviser to three United Nations Secretary Generals and currently serves under Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez.
The quote posted on Trump’s social media came from a talk and debate given by Prof. Sachs on October 22, 2024, at the prestigious Cambridge Union in England. In spite of the extraordinary analysis of causes and pretexts of wars presented by Sachs, and some of his provocative statements, the speech remained unnoticed for 2 1/2 months until Donald Trump brought it to Truth Social and world media discovered it there.
Friends, colleagues and students of Jeffrey Sachs were just as surprised and also at a loss how to explain the sudden interest from the Trump Camp.
Here is a conversation between Glenn Diesen, a Norwegian political scientist and University professor; and Alexander Mercouris, a London-based writer on international affairs, and Jeffrey Sachs. They spoke today, on January 14, 2025, for almost an hour.
You can find the full video on YouTube under the title: Will Trump Deliver Peace? - Jeffrey Sachs, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen.

California kicked off 2025 with some of the most devastating wildfires in the state’s history. Thousands have already lost their homes, dozens have been killed, and as of today the largest of the Los Angeles area fires is only 14% contained. This week on Sea Change Radio we speak with meteorologist Anthony Edwards of the San Francisco Chronicle to learn more about what caused the fires, how climate change is making events like these more commonplace and inevitable than ever, and what we can all do to better prepare for them. Then, we take a few minutes to look at the burgeoning industry of amateur meteorology in the ski industry and the impact that the growth in untrained meteorological professionals is having on Edwards's job, and on the field in general.

President Jimmy Carter was a strong advocate for Palestinian rights and was critical of Israeli policies in the occupied territories. During his presidency, he facilitated the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. However, he was disappointed that the agreement did not lead to a broader peace settlement, including Palestinian self-determination.
In his 2006 book, *Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid*, Carter argued that Israel's continued control and construction of settlements were major obstacles to peace. He used the term "apartheid" to describe the situation in the West Bank, which sparked significant controversy. Carter defended his use of the term, stating that it accurately described the forced separation and domination of Palestinians by the Israeli military.
Carter's stance and his book have been both praised and criticized, but he remained steadfast in his belief that a fair and just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was essential for lasting peace in the region.

Recently Arcand performed in Frankfurt, Germany at the ‘Frankfurter Buchmesse’ the international book fair in which Canada was the honored guest along with the Governor General, Ministers, and Ambassadors. He was a special invited performer there to represent indigenous arts and culture with his many performances. Shortly after his return to Canada Arcand was invited to the Calgary roughneck game to perform at their half time show in the Saddledome.
Dallas’s International career on the World stage began in 2002 with Universal Studios Mediterrainea where he performed his song and dance for 8 months in Spain.
