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.

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.

Se ha realizado un descubrimiento revolucionario en los Estados Unidos: el mayor depósito de litio del mundo fue encontrado dentro de un antiguo supervolcán en la frontera entre Nevada y Oregón. La Caldera McDermitt alberga un estimado de 40 millones de toneladas métricas de litio, casi la mitad de las reservas conocidas del mundo y el doble de lo que poseen los famosos salares de Bolivia. Dado que el litio es esencial para las baterías de smartphones, laptops y vehículos eléctricos, este hallazgo podría transformar la cadena de suministro global. Con una demanda de litio que se espera se dispare diez veces para el año 2050, Estados Unidos podría finalmente reducir su dependencia de proveedores extranjeros, especialmente China. En 2022, América importó el 70% de sus baterías de ion de litio, pero este descubrimiento podría cambiarlo todo. Si la minería comienza según lo planeado en 2026, Estados Unidos podría convertirse en una potencia importante en la industria del litio, impulsando tanto la innovación como el crecimiento económico.

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.

In this episode of ¡Cuéntame!, Marta takes us to Peru to explore a beautiful Andean legend about the origin of Lake Titicaca, one of the highest navigable lakes in the world, located between Peru and Bolivia in the Andes Mountains. Considered a sacred place by Andean peoples, the lake is more than just a body of water—it is a powerful symbol of punishment, forgiveness, and new beginnings.✨ A story of respect, consequences, and rebirth—this legend reminds us why Lake Titicaca holds such deep cultural meaning.If you enjoyed this episode, please share it, rate the podcast, and help others discover ¡Cuéntame!We'd also love to hear from you!Click here for information about my virtual Spanish class!Transcript of this episode HERE!

Cierra el 2025, un año de importantes definiciones en la política en América Latina, marcado por profundos cambios electorales, levantamientos de protestas, movilizaciones migratorias y importantes debates sobre políticas públicas y derechos ciudadanos. Una de las tendencias más destacadas, en este balance político fue el avance electoral de fuerzas conservadoras en varios países como Argentina, Honduras, Chile y Bolivia. Por ejemplo, en Argentina, la Libertad Avanza partido de Javier Milei consolidó un fuerte respaldo en las elecciones legislativas, ampliando su presencia en el Congreso y confirmando el giro político del país hacia políticas económicas liberales. Asimismo, aunque por un estrecho margen destaca el caso de Honduras, el candidato conservador Nasry Asfura ganó la presidencia en un proceso electoral marcado por controversias y acusaciones de influencia externa, lo que simboliza una tendencia regional hacia el fortalecimiento de líderes de derecha y centro-derecha.Destaca el caso de Bolivia, con un importante cambio político tras la elección de Rodrigo Paz. Una ruptura histórica con la hegemonía del Movimiento al Socialismo, así como también el caso de Chile con la rotunda victoria de José Antonio Kast, marcando una reconfiguración política a las tendencias ya tradicionales de izquierda en la región. De igual manera, merecen atención especial la participación cívica demostradas en los referendos y consultas populares en Ecuador, Colombia, Guatemala y Panamá, logrando canalizar la polarización y el descontento por medio de mecanismos institucionales. Lo cual se hizo presente también en la histórica elección judicial en México. Si bien el voto sigue siendo el principal instrumento de cambio y contestación con el poder, este mecanismo ya no representa una garantía de estabilidad y mejoramiento democrático. Altas cotas de polarización, sistemas de partidos fragmentados, creciente desarticulación intra-regional, precarización burocrática, violencia política, corrupción administrativa y altos niveles de inseguridad ciudadana, han sido los problemas que ha documentado buena parte de los estudios demoscópicos de este año.Todo lo cual ocurre en un año como el 2025, en el que los EEUU redefine su Estrategia de Seguridad Nacional de forma notable, poniendo nuevamente al hemisferio americano en el centro de su reforzamiento geopolítico con todas las implicaciones que traen consigo. Teniendo en su despliegue militar en el Caribe contra el "narco-régimen" de Maduro en Venezuela, su principal ejercicio práctico del nuevo corolario Trump de la Doctrina Monroe. Un incremento de tensiones durante meses que ha reconfigurado reacomodos, alianzas y profundas implicaciones hemisféricas para los primeros meses del 2026. En suma, tenemos un 2025 que será recordado como un año de cambios políticos profundos, alta crispación y redefinición de agendas públicas, que marcarán las nuevas rutas para el futuro político de América Latina.Analistas:Manuel Alcántara SáezMaría Puerta RieraEdición y Conducción:Xavier Rodríguez Franco

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.

Missionary Letter - Bolivia

En Ahora o Nunca, con Mr. Chip como invitado, la mesa reacciona al bicampeonato obtenido por el Toluca tras vencer a Tigres en la Final del Apertura 2025 y señala las razones por las que este título reafirma la importancia de quedar en los primeros puestos de la clasificación en el torneo regular, lo que debe llevar a mayor nivel competitivo en el futbol mexicano. Por otro lado, la selección mexicana anunció juegos amistosos de preparación en 2026 y sólo uno de ellos será en México, contra Islandia, mientras que visitará a Bolivia y a Panamá, viajes que la mesa considera innecesarios al ser el Tri anfitrión del Mundial 2026. Además, la mesa también señala las razones por las que, luego de ganar otro título en la Liga MX, el actual técnico del Toluca, Antonio Mohamed, debería reconsiderar su postura y tomar a la selección mexicana cuando tenga oportunidad de hacerlo.

José Antonio Kast, candidato del Partido Republicano, ganó este domingo las elecciones presidenciales chilenas con una ventaja contundente en la segunda vuelta. Obtuvo el 58% de los votos frente al 42% de Jeannette Jara, de la coalición de izquierda Unidad por Chile. Esta diferencia de más de 16 puntos representa una de las mayores en una segunda vuelta desde el retorno a la democracia en 1990, lo que convierte a Kast en uno de los presidentes más votados de la historia del país. La trayectoria de Kast ha sido ascendente: en 2017 quedó cuarto y no pasó a segunda vuelta; en 2021 llegó al balotaje pero perdió ante Gabriel Boric por 11 puntos. Esta vez, tras quedar segundo en la primera vuelta del pasado 16 de noviembre, arrasó en la segunda. Lo ha conseguido gracias a que supo entender las principales preocupaciones de los chilenos: la delincuencia, la inmigración ilegal y el estancamiento económico. Chile, tradicionalmente uno de los países más seguros de Hispanoamérica, ha asistido en los últimos años a un incremento notable de la violencia que se atribuye a bandas criminales asociadas a la inmigración ilegal, básicamente la venezolana. Los extranjeros representan ya el 10% de la población. Kast prometió en campaña mano dura. Una mano dura que se traducirá en deportaciones, el endurecimiento de la vigilancia fronteriza con Perú y Bolivia y medidas punitivas contra el crimen. Para superar la crisis económica ha propuesto reducir impuestos, suavizar las regulaciones, recortar el gasto público en 6.000 millones de dólares en solo 18 meses y fomentar la inversión extranjera. En su discurso de la noche electoral insistió en la seguridad y el crecimiento, asegurando que "sin seguridad no hay paz, sin paz no hay democracia y sin democracia no hay libertad". Adoptó también un tono inclusivo y conciliador. Se presentó como presidente de todos los chilenos, renunció a la presidencia de su partido, rindió homenaje a ex presidentes de distintas inclinaciones políticas y reconoció la valía de su rival, Jeannette Jara. Ha evitado radicalismos y el populismo fácil tratando de hacer ver a los chilenos que los cambios requerirán tiempo y perseverancia. Aunque algunos lo etiquetan como ultraderechista por su pasado, Kast no representa un regreso al pinochetismo nostálgico. Es un conservador clásico, católico practicante (padre de nueve hijos), opuesto al aborto, al matrimonio homosexual y al divorcio, pero todo indica que priorizará agenda económica y la mejora de la seguridad ciudadana frente a la famosa batalla cultural. En este aspecto parece que se inspira más en Giorgia Meloni que en Trump o Bukele. La victoria de Kast consolida la ola de triunfos que ha ido cosechando últimamente la derecha hispanoamericana. Para Chile supone todo un giro conservador, pero Kast necesitará a un congreso que no controla y vigilar que sus hoy socios no se conviertan en oposición.

The Andean Condor is one of the largest flying birds in the world. With a wingspan that can stretch over 10 feet across, the condor doesn't flap so much as sail, using rising thermals to glide across the Andes for hours. Once revered in Inca mythology as a messenger of the gods, the Andean Condor now graces the coat of arms of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador. But like many scavengers, condor populations are declining due to threats like lead poisoning and habitat loss.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

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.  The person of interest, identified as 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson from Wisconsin (who is not a Brown student), was taken into custody early on December 14 at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, about 15 miles from the campus.  Officials have confirmed no other suspects are being sought, and the investigation is ongoing.

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.

German troops will focus on engineering work, according to a ministry spokesperson quoted in the report.

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.
