Podcasts about Blackwater

On this Day of Truth and Reconciliation, we speak with award-winning CBC reporter Jackie McKay who travelled to the village of Kispiox, BC, to learn about the man at the centre of a historic battle to hold the government and the church accountable for sexual abuse at the Alberni Indian Residential School. Willie Blackwater's class action lawsuit was one of the first in Canada, setting the stage for many others who came forward and the TRC. McKay's reporting and the rest of Willie's story is featured in Season 2 of the CBC news podcast, See You In Court.

Willie Blackwater is just 13 when he holds a knife to his rapist's throat, demanding an end to his recurring abuse. It's the first time Willie stands up to his residential school supervisor, but it's far from the last. Years later, after a fateful encounter with a cop, Willie decides to break his silence — joining a group of survivors that help convict Arthur Henry Plint of 18 counts of sexual assault. But for Willie and his friends, it's not enough. And a risky idea starts to form. Can they take on the architects of the residential school system? Host of See You in Court, Falen Johnson and journalist Jackie McKay meet the man behind Blackwater vs. Plint, one of the first court cases where residential school survivors took their abuser to court, eventually paving a legal path for thousands of other Indigenous children forced to attend these schools. This episode is part one, episode two can be found here: https://link.mgln.ai/SYICS2xMMxEP2The stories behind the legal battles that changed Canada — and the unlikely people who made it happen. Some were sh*t disturbers, some were convicts, and some were just regular folks dragged into a fight. Each week, See You in Court digs into a case that challenged the status quo, and asks: what kind of person takes on the law? What are the costs? And what would our lives look like if these cases never happened? Because let's be real, just because a case is closed doesn't mean the story's over.

What followed was hours of combat in Fallujah.Then, on April 7, everything changed.While moving through the city in an M1 Abrams, Alex spotted armed fighters appearing with RPGs and AK-47s. Moments later, an RPG struck the tank commander's hatch.His tank commander lost his right eye.Alex was hit by shrapnel and badly wounded in both hands.But surviving the battlefield was only the beginning.Alex also opens up about returning home, losing the career and identity he thought he would have, struggling with his mental health years after the war, seeking help, and eventually trying to rediscover a sense of purpose through service and teaching others.This is a story about war, brotherhood, injury, identity, and what happens when the fighting stops but the battle isn't necessarily over.CHAPTERS:00:00 — The RPG Attack in Fallujah01:10 — Growing Up in East LA06:16 — His Grandfather Inspires Him to Serve07:33 — 9/11 Changes Everything09:24 — Proving He Could Become a Marine11:12 — Injured During Boot Camp13:27 — The Marine Who Never Made It Home16:54 — Becoming an M1 Abrams Tank Mechanic19:07 — Arriving at 29 Palms22:21 — Preparing for War25:23 — Heading to Iraq28:42 — First Incoming Fire30:04 — Life Inside an Abrams Tank36:45 — Blackwater Killings and Fallujah38:09 — The Battle Begins40:46 — 13 Hours of Combat44:50 — April 7th45:30 — Watching an RPG Fly Toward the Tank47:04 — Drawing Fire Away From the Marines48:59 — RPG Strikes the Tank49:21 — “I'm Pissing Out Blood”50:47 — Escaping the Burning Tank51:31 — Surgery and Recovery53:57 — Returning to the Fight57:43 — His Wife Deploys to Iraq58:30 — Coming Home1:02:12 — Losing His Sense of Purpose1:04:29 — Mental Health Begins to Collapse1:06:33 — Calling the Crisis Line1:07:58 — Finally Finding the Right Help1:09:46 — Learning How to Move Forward1:11:27 — Finding Purpose Again1:12:14 — “Pick Your Head Up and Continue to March”

Sea level rise. It's a phrase everyone's supposed to be afraid of, and almost nobody can picture. A couple of millimeters a year sounds too small to matter, until you find out coastal wetlands have an exact, measured speed limit for how fast they can keep up, and the ocean is closing in on it. Marshes and mangroves have kept pace with a rising sea for thousands of years by building their own soil upward, layer by layer, as plants grow, die, and get buried in place. That strategy has a hard limit. Peer-reviewed research puts it at roughly 6.1 millimeters of sea level rise a year, the point past which soil simply can't build fast enough. NASA's own sea level data shows the global rate has already gone from about 2 millimeters a year in the early 1990s to roughly 4.5 millimeters a year today, nearly doubling in three decades and closing that gap fast. There's a second strategy, and it's already working in real places. When a marsh can't out-build the tide, it can move inland instead, if there's room. Maryland's Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge has lost more than 5,000 acres of marsh, nearly half its historic wetland, and faces up to three feet of sea level rise in the Chesapeake by 2100. Its 2013 Blackwater 2100 strategy uses conservation easements to pay landowners to keep migration corridors open, and it's already protected more than 3,000 acres along the Nanticoke River and Coursey Creek. This episode connects back to Monday's interview with Dr. Adam Langley and lands on what coastal communities can actually do about it. Takeaways: Marshes and mangroves survive sea level rise by building soil upward, but that strategy has a hard limit: peer-reviewed research (Saintilan et al., 2020, Science) puts it at roughly 6.1 millimeters of sea level rise a year. NASA's sea level data shows the global rate has already climbed from roughly 2 millimeters a year in the early 1990s to about 4.5 millimeters a year today, nearly doubling in three decades. When building up stops working, marshes and mangroves have a second option: shifting inland, provided there's open land behind them to move into. Maryland's Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge has already lost more than 5,000 acres of marsh, nearly half its historic wetland, and its 2013 "Blackwater 2100" strategy uses conservation easements to keep migration corridors open along the Nanticoke River and Coursey Creek. The plan is working but unfinished: roughly 812 acres are protected along Coursey Creek and 2,300 along the Nanticoke, with about 5,000 acres still unprotected.

Enter: CAPTAIN MARA VEX Mara wants the map. Her crew wants the map. And apparently, they aren't interested in taking "no" for an answer.

Catherine Johnson reframes Jesus' invitation to “lose your life” not as self-erasure, but as a release from the survival strategies we cling to for safety. Jesus models another way: to live from our deepest values even in the presence of fear and loss—to love what is mortal, hold it fully, and, when the time comes, let it go.   Reflection Questions   What survival strategy has helped protect you in the past but may no longer be serving you in the present? Where in your life are fear or self-preservation tempting you to act against what you most deeply value? What might it mean for you right now to practice the movement of loving, holding, and letting go?

Surge Copper has spent the past several months building out its executive bench to advance the Berg copper project in British Columbia. A pre-feasibility study released this summer put Berg's base-case after-tax NPV8% at C$4.6 billion, with a 24% IRR and a 2.9-year payback. If built, the project would rank among Canada's top three copper mines and become the country's largest molybdenum producer. As governments roll out their own critical minerals strategies, companies looking to build large copper mines are increasingly aligning themselves with those national priorities. Jennifer Anthony joined Surge Copper as VP, Environment and Regulatory Affairs early this year, after more than 20 years in British Columbia's public sector — most recently as Assistant Deputy Minister, Permitting Transformation, where she led the province's negotiations on the Blackwater mine and other resource projects.

In this episode we chat to Randy Turner, President and CEO of Independence Gold. Randy is a highly regarded geologist with a track record of discovering, advancing and creating value from mineral projects. He played a key role in the discovery of the Snap Lake diamond deposit, later acquired by De Beers, and was also involved in the early history of what became Artemis Gold's Blackwater mine. In this episode we discuss what attracted him to the 3Ts Gold Project in British Columbia, the project's fascinating journey from Teck to Independence Gold, what he looks for in a successful discovery, how technology is transforming exploration, and what's next for the 3Ts project. KEY TAKEAWAYS Randy Turner brings over 55 years of geological expertise to Independence Gold, having previously played a key role in major discoveries such as the Snap Lake diamond deposit and the early acquisition of the Blackwater gold project. Independence Gold is focusing its exploration efforts on the 3Ts Gold Project in British Columbia, which sits adjacent to the massive 20-million-ounce Blackwater gold deposit. Successful modern mineral exploration relies on combining advanced technologies like AI, geophysics, and geochemistry with traditional, boots-on-the-ground geological analysis. Independence Gold operates as a pure-play exploration company with a target strategy to grow the 3Ts resource to approximately 1 million gold-equivalent ounces before seeking a buyer or development partner BEST MOMENTS "In most cases around the world, all the easy deposits have been found... It's now taking more geology, back to the basics of geology—technologies, AI, geophysics, geochemistry." "We can't totally rely upon technology to make all these discoveries—we still have to be using our brains and our geological backgrounds to put all this together." "Good old boot and hammer work is what we call it—geologists getting out, banging rocks, and almost sniffing the core, looking at it, studying it." "We're explorationists—we're there to find, we're there to discover. But you bring in the other guys, the more senior companies, that will look at it to develop it and put it into production."

In this continuation of their deep dive, Gary Jubelin speaks with former Western Australian police diver Luke McCulloch about the harrowing reality of underwater investigations. Luke details the psychological and physical demands of searching for evidence and recovering bodies in "deep, dark, and dirty" conditions—from murky riverbeds to the open ocean. Luke shares the terrifying experience of working in shark-infested waters and explains why the "touch and feel" of a recovery operation never truly leaves you. They explore the professionalism required to operate in high-stakes environments and the emotional toll of a career spent finding what no one else wants to find. In this episode: The reality of body recovery in zero-visibility environments. The dangers of diving with Great White sharks. The intense selection process and resilience required to be a police diver. The lifelong impact of "deep, dark, and dirty" operations. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

“Blackwater” gets used as shorthand for everything people fear or fantasize about in modern war, but the real work was often simpler and darker: move a diplomat through Baghdad and make sure they come back alive. We sit down with Morgan Lorette, a former Blackwater contractor, and trace the whole path from Air National Guard Security Forces to Iraq convoy life, including the money, the culture shock, and the gut-level truth of what changes when you're operating outside a normal military justice system.We talk candidly about what Blackwater actually did for the State Department, why “combat Uber” is a more accurate label than Hollywood's raid-and-rescue myth, and how protective security decisions got made when car bombs were common and seconds mattered. Morgan breaks down team dynamics, the mix of elite veterans with regular troops, and the uncomfortable reality that some people freeze while others go too far. We also get into contractor pay, bonuses, taxes, and why the paycheck can feel addictive, especially when lifestyle inflation, divorce, and debt start stacking up back home.After the interview, we pivot to modern policing and accountability: a town hall clip that raises real First Amendment questions, a taser failure that shows why distance and hands-on skills matter, and a body-cam shooting in a nightlife district where split-second judgment has life-changing consequences. If you care about use of force, executive protection, police training, and the human cost of high-risk work, this one stays with you.Subscribe for more long-form conversations, share this with a friend who needs the real version of these stories, and leave a review so more people can find the show.send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.comSupport the showPlease see our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoCopsOneDonut Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc *Send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.com

Graham Platner was beating Susan Collins in the Maine Senate race. Then Jenny Racicot went on the record with Politico and CNN alleging he raped her in 2021, backed by therapist emails, texts, and disclosures that predate his campaign by years. Within 24 hours, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ro Khanna, Chuck Schumer, and the Maine Democratic Party all told him to get out. He denies everything. And he has until July 13 to decide.Robin breaks down the whole ugly thing: what Racicot alleges happened that night and why the paper trail put it over the edge for a certified skeptic. The baggage that was already there, from the Totenkopf tattoo to the Reddit posts to the Blackwater successor company nobody talks about correctly. Why smear campaigns are real AND why this isn't one. Stephen King's terrible take. Why establishment Democrats are not the heroes here, and why the progressive left, from DSA to Bernie world, has a vetting crisis it can no longer afford. Plus the six day ballot deadline, the replacement scramble (Troy Jackson, Nirav Shah, Shenna Bellows), and what has to happen for Democrats to keep this seat competitive against Susan Collins.Smears are real. So is rape. Both things can be true, and nobody in American politics seems to be able to hold two thoughts at once.Topics: Graham Platner allegations, Jenny Racicot, Maine Senate race 2026, Susan Collins, Bernie Sanders, Graham Platner drop out, Democratic primary, DSA candidates, progressive politics, candidate vetting, Politico investigation, Senate majoritySupport the show and keep it independent: patreon.com search "We Saw the Devil" Everything else: wesawthedevil.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

In this episode of ATV-TALK, Leonard Duncan and Val take a closer look at the incident that sparked conversation throughout the GNCC community at this year's Snowshoe race. Rather than focusing on blame, they explore the history of Snowshoe, the legacy of Blackwater, the culture surrounding Howard's Hole, and how traditions have shaped one of off-road racing's most iconic events.Together, they discuss what happened, separate fact from speculation, and ask an important question: How can GNCC preserve what makes Snowshoe special while continuing to evolve for the future?What are your thoughts on the Snowshoe tradition? Join the conversation in the comments and tell us how you think GNCC can honor its history while continuing to move the sport forward.

The Blackwater River Fish Kill last August was the largest fish kill ever in Ireland, and the person or people were never found. This week, Timmy Dooley, Minister with responsibility for fisheries published a new set of protocols to address which investigative agency should do what from now on when there is a fish kill.

With the longest day of the year just passed, this means the grilse run begins in earnest for most salmon anglers.  With this in mind, Tom and Garrett turn their attention to summer salmon and they have well known guide and instructor, Damien O'Brien, join them.  Damien is based on the River Blackwater and guides on the Blackwater Valley Fishery as well as the River Laune in Kerry.  A fully qualified Double Handed GAIA instructor for over ten years he puts his coaching expertise to good use, being heavily involved with introducing both youths and people from different backgrounds into fishing.  Damien talks in depth with regards to guiding, the trials and tribulations when the fishing is difficult, the personal interaction between guide and guest and laments the fact that it can only be a part time role.  He also talks of his love of British Columbia which he has taken to his heart and has some interesting insights into the fishing over there. Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on:https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.https://www.irelandonthefly.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089135445929

Ronan Fox from Blackwater Triathlon Club looks ahead to the big event they are hosting in Fermoy on Sunday, the Blackwater Triathlon.

This week, The Photowalk returns to the Scottish Highlands for a special show recorded during our latest 2026 retreat in Scotland. Together, we follow the Black Water as it gathers pace through the woodland gorge at Rogie Falls, find historic scenes in Cromarty, explore the wartime shoreline of Roseisle Beach, and spend time beside Loch Maree, one of Scotland's most celebrated lochs, where the mountain of Slioch rises directly from the water, just shouting for pictures to be made! Along the way, there are conversations about photography, friendship, creativity, large-format cameras, and the unexpected power of writing, not simply as a way of recording thoughts, but as a way of discovering them.

Former Marine Force Recon veteran Kirk Spradely, call sign “Tadpole,” shares his powerful life story...from surviving a brutal childhood and orphanage violence, to becoming a Marine Force Recon operator, working for Blackwater in Iraq, serving in OGA special programs, flying Blackhawk and Apache helicopters, and later supporting the Kurdish military.In this episode of Urban Valor, Kirk opens up about the day his teammate Tommy Jenner was killed by an enemy sniper in Ramadi.

He describes watching Tommy fall beside him, hearing his teammate yell “sniper, get down,” and realizing a follow-up round had just cracked over his head.Kirk also talks about Marine Force Recon training, combat diving, counter-narcotics operations, Blackwater convoy work, OGA special programs, the moment he met a Taliban-contracted assassin, flying medevac missions for wounded troops, and attempting to help build a Kurdish Air Force before the referendum fallout.

The infuriating Senate race in Maine must have Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels cheering in hell. Dean breaks down his latest New York Sun column regarding Senator Susan Collins and her Democratic challenger, Graham Plattner. Dean pulls no punches discussing Plattner's Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, history with Blackwater, bloodlust for killing, and disturbing allegations of domestic abuse. So much for “believe all women.” Media Double Standards: Watch how corporate media handles a leftist candidate in crisis. Dean reacts to audio clips of CNN's Jake Tapper softening questions with James Carville with needless details that assist Carville in avoided Platner's evil, MSNOW's Chris Hayes tossing softball confirmation questions, and Congressman Ro Khanna moving the "red line" from believing women who allege abuse to saying it's cool as long as they don't leave more than “marks” on their bodies. The Scott Pelley "Combat" Myth: Dean calls out CBS anchor Scott Pelley for doubling down on claims of experiencing combat as a journalist, contrasting it sharply with the genuine humility of World War II and D-Day veterans. Pete Hegseth & French Ingratitude: On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, residents of a French village claim U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth isn't welcome due to "warlike views." Dean delivers a blistering history lesson on Vichy France, historical collaboration, and the sacrifices marked by rows of American tombstones. Hollywood's "Dark Slop" Crisis: Turning to pop culture, Dean uses a clip from Raiders of the Lost Podcast discussing Legally Blonde to analyze why modern movies look visually unappealing, poorly lit, and homogenous compared to classic cinema shot on actual film.

Graham Platner — the Democrats' Senate nominee in Maine — heckled George W. Bush at an anti-war rally in 2002, then turned around and volunteered for the Marines, re-enlisted, and joined Blackwater. His own Reddit posts say he'd been "waiting for his war since he was eight," and Susan Collins just dropped the receipts that blow up his entire narrative.

War isn't what you think it is. A former Navy Special Warfare operator and Blackwater contractor reveals what really happens behind military operations, private armies, and global conflict. This episode of Live From America features a powerful and unfiltered conversation with Trevor Fortner — a former Navy Special Warfare operator and Blackwater private military contractor. Trevor shares firsthand experiences from war zones, including protecting U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad in Iraq, and gives rare insight into how modern warfare actually operates beyond what the public sees. We break down the reality of war — the difference between controlled military strategy and the chaos experienced on the ground — and explore the controversial world of private military contractors (PMCs), including Blackwater and comparisons to groups like Russia's Wagner Group. The conversation dives into: The truth about private military companies and how they operate The Nisour Square incident and the complexities behind it Accountability, regulation, and the evolution of PMCs The business of war and who really benefits Patriotism, national service, and cultural identity Why war may be inevitable — or driven by leadership decisions Trevor also shares personal reflections on time, leadership, and what he learned from operating in high-risk environments across the world. This is a deep, thought-provoking discussion about war, power, and the systems that shape global conflict.

We're told this is about bad guys, nuclear threats, and national security. History—and this moment—tell a different story. In this You're Not Gonna Believe This Bullshit episode, Amanda traces America's regime change playbook—then sits down with investigative journalist, co-founder of Drop Site News, Jeremy Scahill to break down what's really driving the current wars in Iran and Gaza. - Trump launching strikes on Iran amid disputed “nuclear threat” claims - The coordination of war decisions with Netanyahu—and why that matters - Kushner's role in Gaza reconstruction plans that look a lot like real estate development - “Negotiations” with Iran happening alongside military escalation - The long history of regime change—and who actually benefits If it feels chaotic, it's not. It's a pattern. About Jeremy:  Jeremy Scahill is co-founder of Drop Site News. He was previously a Senior Correspondent and Editor-at-Large at The Intercept and is one of the three founding editors of The Intercept. He is an investigative reporter, war correspondent, and author of the international best-selling books “Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield” and “Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.” He has reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Nigeria, the former Yugoslavia, and elsewhere across the globe.
