Amid a global context of eroding multilateralism and rising US trade wars, Mercosur and the European Union are trying to create a shared market for more than 700 million people. The proposed free trade zone for goods and services encompasses 27 European countries, plus Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay on the other side of the Atlantic, with Bolivia in the process of joining as well. Combined, the economies involved in the deal make up for approximately 20% of global GDP.The deal was finally signed on January 17, after more than 26 years of back-and-forth negotiations. But yet again, European farming countries are doing whatever they can to stall its implementation. On January 21, European lawmakers backed a resolution to seek an opinion from the EU's Court of Justice on whether the free-trade deal complies with existing EU treaties.That could stall the deal by up to two years — although the agreement's backers, such as Germany, are trying to go ahead and implement it on a provisional basis until the court says its piece.

This week, Jeremi and Zachary discuss the implications of US intervention in Venezuela with Professor Kurt Weyland, examining the Monroe Doctrine's historical context, the interplay of realist and idealist motives, and the uncertain future of Venezuelan politics. Dr. Kurt Weyland is the Mike Hogg Professor in Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. He has conducted original research in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, and Venezuela. Prof. Weyland is the author of seven books, including: The Politics of Market Reform in Fragile Democracies (Princeton, 2002); Making Waves: Democratic Contention in Europe and Latin America(Cambridge, 2014); Assault on Democracy: Communism, Fascism, and Authoritarianism during the Interwar Years (Cambridge, 2021); and Democracy's Resilience to Populism's Threat (Cambridge, 2024).
Outlaws don't usually get remembered for being smart—but Butch Cassidy was something different. He robbed banks and trains with minimal bloodshed, outwitted the Pinkertons for years, and built a criminal crew that operated more like a well-run business than a gang of desperados. This week on Badass of the Week, we're joined by Todd Weiser, co-host of the Heist Club podcast, to break down what made Cassidy's robberies so effective, why charm was his most dangerous weapon, and how one outlaw managed to turn crime into legend. And then there's the ending—because depending on who you believe, Butch Cassidy either died in Bolivia… or pulled off the cleanest escape of his life.
For episode 207, Phil Waidner is our guest – Now if you read the title, it says West Virginia Mountain Biking and the Arrowhead Bike Farm – This is where Phil Lives and what Phil does, but how he got here is a whole lot of different stories.

In this powerful episode, Jocelyn Wyatt, CEO of Alight, shares her 25-year journey transforming humanitarian aid through human-centered design. From her early days recognizing the disconnect between DC-based decisions and on-the-ground needs in Bolivia, to co-founding IDEO.org and now leading a $90 million organization serving 4 million displaced people annually, Jocelyn reveals what it really means to center refugees as customers, not beneficiaries.Discover how Alight maintains operations in Sudan through three different countries despite ongoing conflict, why "choosing optimism" is a strategic imperative when serving those in crisis, and how pop-up nail salons became the breakthrough for adolescent reproductive health programs in Africa. Jocelyn discusses navigating massive foreign aid cuts, the critical role of grassroots donors giving $20 at a time, and why proximity to problems leads to better solutions.With 25 million people requiring humanitarian assistance in Sudan alone, this conversation challenges fundamental assumptions about how aid should work in the 21st century. Learn why treating refugees with dignity isn't just morally right—it's more effective.Key Topics: Human-centered design in humanitarian work, refugee crisis response, Sudan emergency operations, funding challenges in foreign aid, innovation in displacement services, local leadership empowermentLearn more at: wearealight.org | causeandpurpose.org

Quick recap The meeting began with a discussion about a medical incident involving Keith’s granddaughter and her ongoing recovery, followed by the group sharing their New Year’s Eve experiences and various personal anecdotes. The conversation then shifted to a discussion about McDonald’s menu history and several light-hearted news stories, including stories about monkeys and dinosaur footprints. The conversation ended with a game show trivia quiz hosted by Jill, followed by discussions about New Year’s resolutions and technical aspects of digital devices, before ending with humorous stories and contact information for listeners. Summary Keith, Jill, and Terry discussed a recent incident involving Keith’s granddaughter who swallowed a nail on New Year’s Day. Despite initial concerns, the nail was not found in the emergency room, leading to a hospital stay where she was monitored for its progress through her colon. Keith shared that Adrian was discharged but must continue monitoring her bowel movements for the nail’s removal. The family expressed concern about the incident, with Terry suggesting using a magnet to extract the nail, while Keith emphasized the importance of teaching children not to put foreign objects in their mouths. The group discussed their New Year’s Eve experiences, with Jill mentioning she had to go to the doctor for blood work despite good results, and Terry sharing that he missed the New York Times Square ball drop after falling asleep. They also discussed Terry’s recent incident where he spilled a pitcher of water on his desk, damaging some equipment, and Keith mentioned that McDonald’s McRib's are actually made from pork shoulder and other pork parts, similar to how chicken nuggets are made from ground chicken. News of the Week Jill shared a humorous story about a monkey causing chaos in a Nashville music store, which led to a discussion about escaped monkeys in the southern United States. Keith then shared a heartwarming story about a sea otter pup being reunited with its mother using a recorded distress call played through a Bluetooth speaker. Terry shared a news story about the Bears vs. Lions football game and a humorous AI transcription error where a police officer’s body camera mistakenly transcribed “frog” instead of “fog.” Keith shared a story about 16,000 fossil footprints discovered in Bolivia, which scientists determined belonged to theropod dinosaurs, though the purpose of the footprints remains unclear. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about how dinosaur footprints are preserved in rock over millions of years. Jill's Trivia Quiz Jill hosted a game show trivia quiz, where she tested Keith and Terry’s knowledge of various game shows. They discussed different shows, including Newlywed Game, Love Connection, and Match Game. Jill explained the rules for answering questions and allowed participants to buzz in with their responses. The quiz covered a range of game shows from different eras, and participants were able to identify some of the hosts and formats. Terry's Top 10 List Terry shared a humorous top 10 list of New Year’s resolutions, including going to the gym and driving past it daily, and learning a new language like “sarcastic teenager.” Anchor Topic The group discussed the DA2 player, with Terry revealing the location of the power button on the right side near the USB ports and explaining how to navigate the menus using the orange button for settings and the shelf key for toggling between lowercase, uppercase, and numeric modes. Terry and Keith discussed the functionality of a new digital player, focusing on its compatibility with a USB keyboard for easier navigation and book selection. Terry shared insights from a call with the library, confirming that users can log into the player on the Bard website to update their Wishlist and download books without needing to add a new player. They noted the player’s durability and weight, comparing it to the Victor Reader, and discussed the potential for using a Bluetooth keyboard for better portability. Terry also mentioned tinkering with meta glasses and the possibility of customizing their lenses, while Keith mentioned not receiving his sunglasses from the previous year. Email and Final Thoughts Keith shared a humorous email about golfing firefighters and a father-son story involving George Washington. The final word from our AI companions The meeting primarily revolved around a light-hearted discussion of New Year’s resolutions, jokes, and humorous anecdotes shared among Keith, Jill, and Terry. They exchanged various jokes and funny stories, including references to Netflix, New Year’s traditions, and personal anecdotes. Keith encouraged listeners to share their funny family stories and questions about blindness, and he reminded everyone to visit their website for the latest episodes.

In this episode of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Colonel Towner for an in-depth discussion centered on Stolen Elections by Ralph Pizzulo. Rather than moving directly into Chapter 5, the group revisits and recaps Chapters 1 through 3, examining the book's central claims, sources, and narrative structure. The conversation focuses heavily on the book's portrayal of CIA involvement, alleged whistleblowers, election manipulation narratives, and claims surrounding Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and U.S. foreign policy operations. Colonel Towner provides detailed critiques of factual inaccuracies, missing documentation, and questionable assertions, particularly regarding intelligence agencies, counterterrorism operations, and election systems. The hosts scrutinize the book's reliance on unnamed sources, lack of redactions, and internal contradictions, while contrasting the claims with historical context and firsthand experience. The episode unfolds as a methodical breakdown of credibility, motive, and narrative construction, setting the stage for future chapters and deeper examination in upcoming episodes.

Sobre las protestas contra el decreto que eliminó los subsidios a los combustibles en Bolivia, Hugo Moldiz, exministro de Gobierno de Evo Morales, estima en entrevista con RFI que "todo el mundo era consciente de que el país necesitaba levantar la subvención", pero critica que el presidente Paz no haya sometido la medida a referendo. También cuestiona que no se exceptue de la quita de subvención a los vehículos de transporte público, mientras se elimina el impuesto a las grandes fortunas. ►►Para escuchar la entrevista completa, hacer click en el ícono play►► Varias carreteras fueron bloqueadas este martes en Bolivia en rechazo a un decreto del presidente centroderechista Rodrigo Paz que eliminó en diciembre los subsidios a los combustibles, entre otras medidas. Los manifestantes exigen la anulación del decreto, pues temen un incremento en el costo de vida. Desde su aprobación en diciembre, el precio de los combustibles se duplicó y se encarecieron algunos productos básicos en los mercados. Y empezaron las protestas lideradas por la Central Obrera Boliviana (COB), principal sindicato obrero del país. El lunes, el gobierno de Paz abrió un diálogo con los lideres de los trabajadores quienes terminaron por abandonar la mesa y llamaron a sus seguidores a cortar vías. Cualquier conversación, dicen, debe partir de la anulación del decreto presidencial. El mandatario boliviano dijo en diciembre, al anunciar el decreto en el marco de su declaratoria de emergencia económica, que Bolivia no podía "seguir funcionando con las normas de saqueo de los últimos 20 años". "Me parece innecesario criminalizar 20 años que seguramente han tenido sus luces y sus sombras, como todos los procesos políticos" afirma Hugo Moldiz, exministro de Gobierno durante el tercer mandato del presidente de izquierda Evo Morales. Moldiz, también abogado internacionalista, reconoce, sin embargo, que Bolivia "sí necesitaba levantar la subvención. Creo que todo el mundo está consciente".Pero critica el método del mandatario: "Rodrigo Paz tomó esta decisión sin consultarle a los sectores sociales y, mucho menos, al país. Y la única manera de hacerlo era a través de un referéndum". El segundo elemento de crítica, en el juicio de Moldiz, es el 'cómo' lo hizo . "La subvención se podía quitar para todos los vehículos particulares, salvo para los del servicio público por el impacto de la medida en la población más pobre y vulnerable". No obstante, explica el ex ministro de gobierno boliviano, bajo un pretendido "principio de igualdad", la subvención se levantó para todo el mundo afectando a todos los sectores de la sociedad boliviana en la que "unos ganan mucho y otros ganan muy poco". Los primeros seguirán viviendo holgadamente, pero los segundos se verán muy afetados con esta supresión, afirma. "Y, contradictoriamente, se le ha retirado el impuesto a las grandes fortunas", subraya. Un riesgo de regreso del neoliberalismo RFI: Usted ha afirmado que a este decreto subyace la posibilidad de que el presidente Rodrigo Paz sea la continuación de la crisis y de una transición no resuelta en Bolivia o el inicio de una nueva era estatal. ¿Por qué? "Porque no medir en su exacta dimensión la relación de fuerzas, no tener en cuenta lo que se está jugando en el trasfondo del decreto, puede conducir al movimiento sindical, a sus dirigentes, a cometer errores, y esto puede tener efectos estratégicos. Una derrota sería el camino pavimentado para que se reinstale de manera plena el neoliberalismo en Bolivia. Eso lo tienen que entender los sindicatos.Lo tiene que entender sus líderes. Al mismo tiempo, el gobierno tiene que valorar en su jsuta medida cuál es su nivel de fortaleza política. Tiene muchas contradicciones internas, la contradicción entre el presidente y el vicepresidente ya es una expresión de ellas. También tiene contradicciones al interior de la propia Asamblea Legislativa Plurinacional, y ni qué decir la ausencia de influencia en el movimiento social boliviano, y el movimiento social boliviano es muy fuerte. No creo que en este momento el todo o el nada, ya sea para los movimientos sociales o el todo o nada para el gobierno, sea el escenario aconsejable".
In 1973, American newlyweds Fitz and Holly FitzGerald travel to Peru, hoping to ride a riverboat down the wild Madre de Dios River on their way to Bolivia — and ultimately, the Amazon. But from the start, nothing goes as planned. Watching their dream slip away, the couple makes a fateful decision: they'll push forward on their own, on a homemade raft, into one of the most remote stretches of jungle on earth.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Lexington Community Relief Fund: https://www.lexfoundation.org/?give=59EKZZDK Our first episode of the year and the US is already committing new insane war crimes. After a lengthy discussion of the recent attacks on Venezuela and the urgent need for US labor to materially oppose it, we start our regular labor news. We've got headlines from Tyson, Canada Post, Petrobras, the ECHL, Aramark, Seven Stars Bakery, and Chicago Public Schools. It wouldn't be another year in labor news if we didn't start with a story of yet more abuses by Amazon, this time against pregnant workers. We have an update on the strike by waste collectors in Birmingham over in the UK that has stretched on for nearly a year. Workers in Bolivia have launched a nationwide uprising against the right wing government's attacks on the poor. Finally, next week may see the first major strike of 2026 in the US, as thousands of nurses at a dozen hospitals in the NYC area are poised to walk out for safe staffing.

Steve, David, Hannah, Jimmy, Matthew. and Francesco give Ralph a well-deserved break and highlight some of the clips they want to revisit from another challenging, inspiring, fascinating, infuriating, and galvanizing year. Featuring interviews with Chris Hedges, Jon Merryman, Mike German, and more.Featured ClipsDouglas Brinkley — The Legacy of Jimmy Carter (January 11, 2025)Chris Hedges — A Genocide Foretold/ World BEYOND War (March 29, 2025)Peter Beinart — Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza (March 15, 2025)John Bonifaz — Impeach Trump!... Again (August 30, 2025)Mike German — Policing White Supremacy (March 8, 2025)Stephen Witt — The AI Prompt That Could End the World (November 8, 2025)Jon Merryman — Trading Life For Death (July 12, 2025)News 1/2/26* Our top story this week is of course the news that the CIA has conducted a drone strike inside the sovereign borders of Venezuela. CNN reports U.S. Special Operations Forces provided intelligence support for this strike, though spec-ops leadership denies this claim. Unsurprisingly, the CIA itself declined to comment. Earlier this month, self-styled Secretary of War Pete Hegseth compared Venezuelan “narcoterrorists,” to Al-Qaeda, indicating that the U.S. plans to use the same counterterrorism playbook that they deployed in the Middle East in Latin America. This, of course, begs the question of whether the United States is willing to reckon with creating a miniature Iraq or Afghanistan so close to home.* Giving the game away, Mike Pompeo – who served as Trump's Secretary of State from 2018 to 2021, told Fox News that the U.S. “can help rebuild…their oil sector,” and that, following a successful ouster of President Nicolás Maduro, American energy companies like Halliburton and Chevron would be able to “go down to Venezuela, [and] build out an economic capitalist model.” This from CBS Austin. President Trump has certainly not been subtle about his designs on Venezuela's oil, but this naked salivation over handing the country's fossil fuel deposits over to Halliburton is another eerie re-rerun of Iraq.* In more news from Latin America, ABC reports workers in Bolivia have declared a general strike to protest the new neoliberal government's announcement that they would scrap longstanding fuel subsidies in the impoverished nation. The fuel subsidies were first introduced under the Leftist government of Evo Morales nearly twenty years ago and have been maintained ever since; President Rodrigo Paz, who took office in November, marks the first non-leftist government elected in the country since 2006. The strike was called by Bolivia's powerful Central Union of Workers, but so far has largely been led by miners with other sectors, such as transportation workers, appearing more hesitant. When united, organized labor in Bolivia has delivered stunning victories in the past, but it remains to be seen how this strike will unfold.* In more foreign policy news, Israel has become the first country to formally recognize the East African breakaway state of Somaliland. Many question why Israel is making this decision at all and particularly why they are doing so at this moment; speculation abounds about a potential quid pro quo, with Israel extending recognition in exchange for Somaliland agreeing to accept Palestinians pushed out of Gaza. Somalia is currently a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. In a statement with other non-permanent council members Algeria, Guyana and Sierra Leone, Somalia's UN Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman said Somalia, “unequivocally reject any steps aimed at advancing this objective, including any attempt by Israel to relocate the Palestinian population from Gaza to the northwestern region of Somalia.” This from Reuters.* In more Israel-Palestine news, American Jewish activist Cameron Kasky – a survivor of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school shooting currently running in the primary to succeed Rep. Jerrold Nadler in New York's 12th congressional district – took the unprecedented step of visiting Palestine over the holidays to see the “reality on the ground.” He spent Christmas at a “peace march in Bethlehem calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza,” and issued a statement on the need to “end the settlements that violate international law and stop encouraging New Yorkers to move there,” in a social media post that garnered nearly 2 million views. Kasky is seeking to consolidate progressive support in this crowded primary, which pits him against Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg, among many others.* Turning to domestic news, lawmakers in the House and Senate are considering their options to force Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the totality of the documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Among these are two tools often cited by Ralph Nader and Bruce Fein but rarely invoked by Congress: inherent contempt and impeachment. Per NBC, Representative Thomas Massie said “The quickest way, and…most expeditious way, to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi,” with Congressman Ro Khanna adding that the lawmakers are “building a bipartisan coalition, and it would fine Pam Bondi for every day that she's not releasing these documents.” Meanwhile, Newsweek reports Massie polled his followers and over 35,000 responded that Bondi should be impeached. However, no articles of impeachment against Bondi have yet been filed. It remains to be seen whether Congress will actually use the immense power vested in the body by the Constitution, or if these efforts will be stymied by the obsequious leadership of the Republican caucus.* Speaking of political party cowardice, this week the DNC announced that they would block the release of their own “autopsy” of what went wrong in the disastrous 2024 presidential election campaign. Writing in the Guardian, friend of the show Norman Solomon – director of RootsAction, executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy – excoriated the party leadership for dodging hard questions such as “how much money went to insider consultants and advertising contractors as the Harris campaign managed to spend $1.5bn during the hallowed 107 days of her presidential campaign last year,” and the wisdom of “Harris continuing to toe the Biden line for huge arms shipments to Israel while its military continued to slaughter Palestinian civilians in Gaza.” More bluntly, an anonymous DNC member quoted in this piece said the decision to block the autopsy is, “about protecting people who fucked up.” RootsAction has released their own autopsy, which pulls no punches.* Our next two stories have to do with online gambling. First, in an address to mayors from across Italy this week, Pope Leo XIV denounced the “scourge of gambling,” which has “ruined many families,” and characterized the issue as a form of “loneliness.” He warned of a litany of other forms of loneliness as well, including “mental disorders, depression, cultural and spiritual poverty, and social abandonment,” according to the Catholic News Agency. Pope Leo cited a report from Caritas showing a surge in gambling across Italy, though this phenomenon is by no means constrained to the country. In the U.S., study after study shows Americans engaging in gambling at unprecedented levels. For example, a 2025 National Institutes of Health study showed 61.3% of adults in North America reported gambling within the past 12 months.* Meanwhile, USA Today reports Drake has been hit with a RICO lawsuit for “promoting an illegal online casino while using proceeds from the site to artificially inflate streams of his music.” This lawsuit, which also names streamers Adin Ross and George Nguyen, centers around Stake.us, which, the suit alleges “was created to bypass restrictions after Stake.com was banned from operating everywhere in the U.S.” As this piece explains, Stake claims that it does not allow gambling with real money in order to evade regulations, but in fact uses stand-ins like “Stake Cash” which can be exchanged for real currency. Drake and Ross were “paid to promote the platform by participating in livestreamed gambling with cash ‘surreptitiously' provided by Stake.” In turn, Drake is accused of using the illicit funds to “[deploy] automated bots and streaming farms to artificially inflate play counts of his music across major platforms, such as Spotify,” as part of his feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. If nothing else, this story shows how ubiquitous online gambling has become, infecting all facets and all levels of popular culture.* Finally, for some good news, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was sworn in at midnight on New Years Eve. Mamdani took the oath of office in the decommissioned subway station underneath City Hall, in a small ceremony, followed by a large public inauguration on New Years Day. In his Executive Order 01, Mamdani officially rescinded “All Executive Orders issued on or after September 26, 2024,” otherwise known as the date of outgoing Mayor Eric Adams' indictment on charges of corruption. These now-rescinded executive orders included officially adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism, a definition which includes antizionism, and other pro-Israel actions. That said, Mamdani explicitly stated he will retain an order establishing a Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism. Others include an order allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to operate on Riker's Island, and a blanket ban on the city's horse carriage industry. The New York Daily News notes “Mamdani has voiced support for banning the industry, but says he first wants to engage in dialogue with the union advocating for carriage drivers.” All in all, this marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of America's largest city. We wish the city, and the mayor, good luck.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
En este 2025, América Latina ha virado a la derecha: Bolivia puso fin a 20 años de gobiernos de izquierda al elegir a Rodrigo Paz como presidente; Chile votó por José Antonio Kast y Honduras por Nasry Asfura, candidatos que gozaban del beneplácito y el apoyo de Trump. Daniel Noboa fue reelegido en Ecuador y Javier Milei logró una importante victoria en las legislativas argentinas. Analizamos este fenómeno con Alexis Medina, profesor de Asuntos Latinoamericanos de la Universidad de Franche-Comté. Rodrigo Paz, José Antonio Kast y Nasry Asfura son algunos de los políticos de derechas o de extrema derecha que han llegado al poder en este 2025 en Latinoamérica, una región que ha experimentado un marcado giro a la derecha en las urnas. ¿A qué se debe este cambio de dirección? Alexis Medina, profesor de Asuntos Latinoamericanos de la Universidad de Franche-Comté, sostiene que para explicar este fenómeno hay que evocar el alza de las tendencias populistas a nivel global, teniendo en cuenta, no obstante, las situaciones específicas de cada país. "Por un lado, hay una tendencia global de un giro no solamente hacia la derecha, sino incluso hacia la extrema derecha. Es algo que se observa también en Estados Unidos y en varios países europeos. La atomización de la sociedad y, por lo tanto, la búsqueda de chivos expiatorios, por ejemplo los inmigrantes, las minorías étnicas, los indígenas, etcétera. La acción colectiva se ve sustituida por un voto castigo a favor de la extrema derecha". Bolivia, autodestrucción del MAS y triunfo de la derecha Dicho esto, este profesor de la universidad francesa de Franche-Comté resalta que existen circunstancias propias de cada país, "factores internos", que explican este giro. "En el caso de Bolivia, por ejemplo, la victoria de la derecha se debe en buena medida a la autodestrucción del Movimiento al Socialismo, el MAS. En otros lugares, las fuerzas de derecha o de extrema derecha llegan al poder en un contexto en el que la izquierda estuvo gobernando, pero no estuvo a la altura de las expectativas que había despertado. Ese es el caso de Chile, por ejemplo, con el gobierno de Gabriel Boric: muchos chilenos consideraban que no estuvo a la altura y que no cumplió con esas promesas". En algunos casos, como el de Asfura en Honduras o el triunfo de Javier Milei en las pasadas legislativas argentinas, el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump estuvo presente, incluso supeditando su apoyo económico al país a que se cumplieran resultados que le complacían. ¿Cambiará esta postura la política internacional de Latinoamérica? Leer tambiénLos acontecimientos que deberían marcar al mundo en 2026 "Lo que es seguro es que estos gobiernos de derecha o de extrema derecha van a tener una relación más estrecha con los Estados Unidos de Trump. El mandatario estadounidense tiene buenas relaciones con el presidente de Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, con Milei en Argentina, y las tendrá seguramente con el nuevo presidente de Honduras, con Kast, etcétera. En cuanto a la relación con China, es posible que estos gobiernos de derecha o de extrema derecha sean reticentes a profundizar la dependencia económica que tiene América Latina con ese país. Pero yo no estoy tan seguro de hasta qué punto sean capaces de romper esa relación con Pekín, porque la presencia china en América Latina ya es relativamente antigua. China lleva varias décadas construyendo su influencia en la región. Va a ser difícil que países como Honduras, Ecuador o Argentina se distancien a nivel económico de China", concluye.

In this installment of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America work through Chapter 4 of Stolen Elections, focusing on the figure of Frank Holder and the web of intelligence, finance, and consulting firms described in the book. The discussion follows the chapter's progression, examining Holder's background, his ties to U.S. intelligence, Latin American operations, and his role within major due diligence and risk mitigation firms operating across governments, banks, and corporations. CannCon and Ashe unpack claims involving CIA assets, double and triple agent narratives, money laundering allegations, and the use of consulting firms as gatekeepers of public trust. The chapter also explores connections to Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, and broader intelligence operations, raising questions about elections, corruption, and institutional accountability. Throughout the episode, the hosts critically analyze the book's framing, highlight contradictions within the narrative, and emphasize how Chapter 4 fits into the larger thesis presented in Stolen Elections.

Volodímir Zelenski y Donald Trump se reunieron este domingo en Mar-a-Lago para revisar un borrador de 20 puntos destinado a poner fin a la guerra entre Ucrania y Rusia, que ya dura casi cuatro años. La reunión ha traído algo de optimismo, pero muy moderado ya que no se anunció avance alguno. Trump dijo que las conversaciones estaban siendo muy productivas y aseguró que Ucrania y Rusia están "más cerca que nunca" de un acuerdo, pero reconoció que hay obstáculos importantes en el camino, especialmente en temas territoriales. Previo al encuentro Trump mantuvo una llamada telefónica de más de dos horas con el presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin, que calificó de "excelente" y "productiva". Según Trump, Putin expresó su disposición para que Ucrania prospere tras la guerra, se comprometió incluso a facilitar a Ucrania suministros energéticos a bajo coste. Ante esto Zelenski reaccionó con escepticismo. Rusia, recordemos, ha “celebrado” la Navidad arrojando bombas sobre civiles ucranianos. El Kremlin confirmó que Putin ha aceptado crear dos grupos de trabajo: uno sobre seguridad y otro sobre asuntos económicos. Ambos comenzarán su tarea en enero del año próximo. El plan de 20 puntos, revisado por negociadores estadounidenses y ucranianos a partir de una propuesta inicial de 28 puntos muy criticada hace dos meses por ser demasiado favorable al Kremlin, contiene elementos como un referéndum en Ucrania sobre cesiones territoriales, elecciones presidenciales, garantías de seguridad inquebrantables (algo similar al Artículo 5 de la OTAN) y la creación de una "zona económica libre" desmilitarizada en ciertas áreas del Donbás. Zelenski indicó que el borrador está acordado en un 90%, con coincidencia total en las garantías de seguridad, pero persisten algunos desacuerdos importantes como el control de aproximadamente el 20% de la región de Donetsk aún bajo control ucraniano (pero que Rusia exige en su integridad), el estatus de la central nuclear de Zaporiyia (ocupada en estos momentos por Rusia) y la secuencia de un posible alto el fuego, algo que los rusos por ahora rechazan. Trump insistió en la complejidad del proceso: "Esto no es un acuerdo de un día, es algo muy complicado” afirmó al tiempo que indicaba que un acuerdo definitivo podría demorarse semanas en alcanzarse. Eso sí, advirtió que, sin él, la guerra continuaría con más víctimas. Zelenski, por su parte, destacó la necesidad de mantener la presión sobre Rusia mediante sanciones y la defensa antiaérea, más aún tras los recientes ataques rusos que han dejado amplias zonas de de Ucrania sin electricidad. Desde Moscú el ministro de asuntos exteriores, Sergei Lavrov, criticó a Europa por ser, a su juicio, el "obstáculo principal para la paz" y acusó a Zelenski de no estar listo para unas negociaciones constructivas. El Kremlin se reserva, además, perseguir sus objetivos militares si no se alcanza ningún acuerdo. Tanto el enviado especial para Ucrania, Steve Witkoff, como el yerno de Trump, Jared Kushner, y el secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, participan activamente en un proceso en el que, al menos por ahora, se está dejando básicamente de lado a las potencias europeas.

Laverne Waddington discovered weaving by accident—bike accident, to be precise. Recuperating from a mountain biking crash in Utah, she discovered a book on Navajo weaving and was immediately intrigued. A local exhibit of Diné textiles enthralled her, and she set about learning to weave in the Navajo style. Returning to Patagonia, where she had been living, she built a simple loom and explored weaving on her own until it became clear that she would need to move north to satify her hunger for weaving knowledge, settling in Bolivia. Over the following decades, Laverne traveled in South and Central America, learning backstrap techniques from indigenous weavers. Her curiosity has led her to the Andean Highlands, Guatemala, and other regions to learn hand-manipulated and pick-up methods and patterns from skilled local weavers. Laverne loves to explore complex and intricate weaving styles, enjoying the way that each inch of warp and weft passes through her hands in a variety of pick-up techniques. Weaving on a backstrap loom, she sits inside each weaving project. Through videos, online classes, books, and ebooks, she teaches other weavers how to set up a backstrap loom for themselves and weave a variety of patterns. Teaching backstrap and pick-up techniques is as much a part of her practice as deepening her understanding of the weaving structures. In this episode, discover Laverne Waddington's passions and processes. Links Laverne has maintained a blog and weaving journal on her website (https://backstrapweaving.wordpress.com/) since 2009. Laverne's books (https://www.taprootvideo.com/instructorClasses.jsf?iid=3) are available from Taproot Video. Laverne offers a number of tutorials (https://backstrapweaving.wordpress.com/tutorials/) of techniques she practices as well as videos (https://backstrapweaving.wordpress.com/videos/) of a variety of weaving techniques and traditions.

Lower deficits and trade imbalances reduce economic pressures that drive up prices, potentially stabilizing costs for consumers and businesses. these figures signal improving fiscal health. For context, the U.S. deficit was around $1.7 trillion in 2024; dropping it by $600 billion would bring it closer to $1.1 trillion—a substantial cut that could ease long-term debt concerns and support lower interest rates. Lower inflation to 2% would mean steadier prices, boosting real wages and consumer confidence. The U.S. budget deficit is the annual shortfall when government spending exceeds revenue in a given fiscal year. The national debt is the total accumulated amount owed from all past deficits (plus interest), essentially the running total of borrowed money. https://twitter.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2000268781084348516?s=20 Political/Rights https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1999945168120848428?s=20 https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2000177646072631506?s=20 https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/2000142553815847148?s=20 https://twitter.com/HamasAtrocities/status/2000263382197481781?s=20 https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/2000304813591118154?s=20 from pakistan https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2000160163282727197?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheBritLad/status/2000308891104797052?s=20 https://twitter.com/Currentreport1/status/2000199214870180153?s=20 https://twitter.com/C_3C_3/status/2000055847309791603?s=20 Brown University Shooting Suspect In Custody; Gunman “Yelled Something” Before Attack On Econ Classroom The shooter “yelled something” before the attack … Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2000264684180746600?s=20 authorities have detained the suspect in the Brown University shooting that occurred on December 13, 2025, which left two students dead and nine others injured.

Guns aren't making us less safe and gun laws won't solve the problem. Most of our recent mass shootings had shooters who already violated gun laws to commit their crimes. The left wing culture in America, including mass migration is making us less safe. It's the root of our problem. Fix our regressive, hedonistic, violence and evil loving culture. That will fix America. We need our country to value strength, life, love, liberty, faith and family again. That's the antidote to the poison that creates a violence society. https://twitter.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/2000244040667676940?s=20 this morning, FBI Boston's Safe Streets Task Force, with assistance from the @USMarshalsHQ & the @Coventry_RI_PD , detained a person of interest in a hotel room in Coventry, RI, based off a lead by the @ProvidenceRIPD .

TRULY WICKED: Obama Judge Lavishly PRAISES Illegal Alien Who R*ped and Sodomized Helpless Woman with Cerebral Palsy – Refuses to Add More Years to His Sentence The Detroit News reported on Friday that a violent illegal alien from Honduras who sexually assaulted a woman with cerebral palsy in a Michigan laundry room will be released from prison as early as July 2028, less than three tears from now thanks to a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama. The illegal, 30-year-old handyman Edys Renan Membreño Díaz was previously caught sneaking into the U.S. at least seven times since 2019. He pleaded guilty in 2022 to sexually assaulting the woman and was sentenced by Judge Judith Levy in August 2024 to time served.

Total BS. These were models representing the well-known American suntan lotion brand Hawaiian Tropic at a Mar-a-Lago event. One of the women, who was 22 at the time the photo was taken, told The Telegraph today that Donald Trump was a “gentleman” and “went out of his way” to ensure their entire group enjoyed their time at Mar-a-Lago. “I was 22 years old and remember him being very nice. He was very gentlemanly, that's the word to describe him,” she said. Not a SINGLE ONE of them accused Trump of wrongdoing. It's absolutely freaking shameful how Democrats have decided to discard ACTUAL victims of Jeffrey Epstein in an attempt to falsely smear President Trump.

Calm down – it's not 1939. But it could end up just as bad. Today (13), it has been reported that Germany is sending soldiers to Poland, in a bid to ‘strengthen' NATO's eastern border with Belarus and Russia. Politico reported: “Several dozen German soldiers will join Poland's East Shield from April 2026, with the mission initially running until the end of 2027, Deutsche Welle reported, citing Berlin's defense ministry. German troops will focus on engineering work, according to a ministry spokesperson quoted in the report. The spokesperson described this as building positions, digging trenches, laying barbed wire and constructing anti-tank obstacles. .” Source: thegatewaypundit.com Zelenskyy offers to drop NATO bid for security guarantees but rejects US push to cede territory Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Zelenskyy on Sunday (December 14, 2025) voiced readiness to drop his country’s bid to join NATO in exchange for Western security guarantees, but rejected the U.S. push for ceding territory to Russia as he arrived in Berlin for talks with U.S. envoys on ending the war. Source: thehindu.com CIA Outlet Concerned About Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Meeting with Top Zelenskyy Officials It been reported that the FBI has been working closely with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in detecting and discovering corruption amid Ukraine officials who have skimmed money from various international aid programs. However, the Washington Post is suddenly concerned that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino have held “secret meetings” with lead Ukraine peace negotiator Rustem Umerov. it is easy to get the sense that Rustem Umerov is in alignment with the U.S. proposals, but Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not. Hence, Zelenskyy keeps returning to his U.K, France, Germany and EU support network for counterproposals despite his officials like Umerov working with the U.S. team directly. This paragraph from within the WaPo (CIA) framework seems to tell a background story: […] “The meetings have caused alarm among Western officials who remain in the dark about their intent and purpose. Some said they believe Umerov and other Ukrainian officials sought out Patel and Bongino in the hopes of obtaining amnesty from any corruption allegations the Ukrainians could face. Others worry the newly established channel could be used to exert pressure on Zelensky's government to accept a peace deal, proposed by the Trump administration, containing steep concessions for Kyiv.” (more) Perhaps Zelenskyy's primary negotiator for the USA team, Rustem Umerov, has specific knowledge of corruption connected to the generous financial support the USA has provided Ukraine. Watching Yermak get taken down within the FBI/NABU investigation, might have triggered Umerov to cooperate on several levels. Umerov reported as happy with the negotiated U.S. terms. Volodymyr Zelenskyy openly not happy with the negotiated terms. This is worth watching.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, the complaint challenges contract provisions that prioritize teachers from “underrepresented populations” during layoffs, reassignments, and recalls, and that grant exclusive employment benefits to members of a third-party program known as “Black Men Teach Fellows.” Federal officials argue the policies violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race or sex in employment.
