Maduro Regime Threatens US Embassy; Lula's Concern over US Pressure Guests: Alejandro Piña Esclusá, Ernesto Araújo Alejandro Piña Esclusá reports that Nicolás Maduro's chief negotiator, Jorge Rodríguez, falsely claimed a third party plans to assault the US embassy in Caracas, but Esclusá warns that Maduro himself ordered the operation. The regime is allegedly interested in the embassy because they believe opposition leader María Corina Machado is hidden there. The regime, which stole the election, is now persecuting and imprisoning more opposition members than ever to infuse terror into the population. Ernesto Araújo views an attack on the embassy—an action against the "only thing that's sacred in international relations"—as very serious, suggesting Maduro is desperate for a bargaining chip with the US. Brazil's Lula da Silva is reportedly worried about the seriousness of the US attitude toward Maduro and may be softening his stance with Trump, fearing what information might emerge regarding the Foro de São Paulo organization if the Maduro regime falls. 1910 CARACAS

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION GAZA PLAN.. 1950 RAMALLAH 10-6-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 The Trump Peace Plan and the Problematic Role of the Palestinian Authority Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz examines the Trump peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 50 remaining hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours, and the disarming of Hamas. Hamas disarmament is a crucial Israeli war aim. The central challenge is the future role of the Palestinian Authority (PA), which Berkowitz argues is corrupt, incompetent, weak, and lacks democratic legitimacy, having not held elections since 2005. International recognition of a Palestinian state is viewed as counterproductive, as it rewards proponents of armed struggle. The plan anticipates a pathway toward a Palestinian state only after substantial and comprehensive PA reform, including ceasing terror incitement and abandoning the goal of Israel's destruction. Given the security challenges and the history of Palestinian rejection of a state coexisting with Israel, the realistic possibility of a two-state solution is seen as many years in the future. 915-930 The Trump Peace Plan and the Problematic Role of the Palestinian Authority Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz examines the Trump peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 50 remaining hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours, and the disarming of Hamas.

The Houthis also sanctioned 13 US oil and energy companies and their CEOs, citing the war in Gaza and US support for Israel. This announcement mirrored US sanctions and may be a precursor to resuming attacks against US-connected vessels. Israel's counter-Houthi air strikes have hit targets but have failed to deter the group, which also exploits connections with other terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). If the Gaza conflict ends, the Houthis might need a new casus belli to justify attacks, but they are willing to invent excuses if Iran wishes to continue stirring chaos. 945-1000 Life, Economy, and Chinese Threat Perception in Taipei, Taiwan Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang Anne Stevenson-Yang reports from Taipei, Taiwan, a vibrant economy and republic vital to the global economy due to TSMC, the microchip maker. Taiwan is characterized by a wonderful public culture where honesty and personal safety are prevalent. Despite its high-tech focus, the economy suffers from problems common elsewhere, including increasing income inequality, unaffordability, high housing prices, and stagnant wages. Regarding geopolitical tensions, the average Taiwanese person is largely immune to the constant threat from China, having heard talk of belligerence for the last 30 years. However, there is apprehension related to China's grim economic winter and growing concern that the US protective umbrella may be receding, leading to more interest in investing in Taiwan's own defense. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Iran's Strategy, Setbacks for Hezbollah, and the Chinese Economic Lifeline Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discusses US efforts to bolster the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with $230 million, intending to empower the national identity over sectarian militias like Hezbollah. Iran consistently seeks to arm its proxies, but Hezbollah is currently on its back foot, having lost leadership, money, and the Syria corridor due to Israeli attacks and the new regime in Syria. A peace deal in Gaza would significantly weaken Iran, as stability does not favor the Islamic Republic, which thrives by exploiting regional instability. The morale of the Islamic Republic has crumbled due to external defeats and internal incompetence (failing infrastructure, high inflation). Furthermore, Iran relies heavily on China to purchase oil, utilizing a money-laundering network to evade US sanctions, securing an economic lifeline for the regime in return for natural resources and infrastructure projects. 1015-1030 Iran's Strategy, Setbacks for Hezbollah, and the Chinese Economic Lifeline Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discusses US efforts to bolster the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with $230 million, intending to empower the national identity over sectarian militias like Hezbollah.

Taiwanese self-identity is deepening, particularly among younger generations. However, concerns exist in Taipei that the US administration's "Fortress America" focus is inducing doubt about Washington's commitment to Taiwan's defense, a doubt China exploits. Harold also covers the historic rise of Takaichi Sanae as the LDP head in Japan, positioning her to become the first female Prime Minister. Takaichi is a conservative acolyte of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo who emphasized increased defense spending to enhance the US-Japan alliance. Her selection was seen as an effort to bring conservative votes back to the LDP, responding to growing political frustration and capitalizing on sentiment against an influx of foreigners. 1045-1100 Taiwanese Resilience and Japan's New Conservative Leader Guest: Scott Harold Scott Harold discusses Taiwan's resilience, rooted in its democratic rule of law and high societal trust, which China attempts to undermine.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Europe Responds to Russian Harassment Without US Lead Guest: Mary Kissel Mary Kissel analyzes the European emergency summit in Copenhagen, convened due to alarming mysterious drone activity over European airports, likely instigated by Russia. This harassment, which includes potential risks like hitting a passenger jet, aims to create confusion and test the resolve of the continent. The outcome, focusing on a "drone wall," suggests that the EU is starting to take more responsibility for its own defense, a long-term goal of US presidents. Kissel notes that the US absence from the prominent conversation does not signal the end of NATO. She also highlights that politicians like Starmer and Meloni are moving toward stronger defense measures, realizing that their voting bases are unhappy with current economic and security outcomes 1115-1130 Syria's Search for Stability: Security Deals, the Golan Heights, and the Gaza Impact Guests: Ahmad Sharawi, Bill Roggio Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss Syrian President al-Sharaa's focus on stability and his pursuit of a security agreement with Israel. Negotiating away the Golan Heights is considered a non-starter for al-Sharaa's survival, as his father, Hafez Assad, is often seen as the man who lost the territory, and al-Sharaa would be domestically labeled a traitor by all segments of the Syrian population, including hardliners. A full peace agreement is out of the question, but a limited security agreement might be possible, allowing Israel to maintain its presence in the Golan Heights while potentially withdrawing from areas entered after the fall of the Assad regime. The end of the war in Gaza is expected to expedite negotiations between Syria and Israel toward a security deal, as it affects the optics of al-Sharaa making such a move in the Arab world. Al-Sharaa's main priority is removing Israeli presence and stopping Israeli air strikes inside southern Syria 1130-1145 Russia's Multi-Front War: European Drones, Space Threats, and Tomahawk Missiles Guests: John Hardie, Bill Roggio John Hardie discusses Russia's expanding conflict, which includes drones over European airports like Munich and Berlin, viewed by Denmark as Russian "gray zone" activity aimed at testing Western response. NATO has been slow to adopt cost-effective counter-drone measures, unlike Ukraine's use of mobile fire groups. Russia is also engaging in anti-satellite activity, with Russian satellites reportedly stalking UK military satellites in low Earth orbit. Russia continues to target Ukrainian energy infrastructure with massive barrages as winter approaches. The US is reportedly considering supplying longer-range Tomahawk missiles to allies for transfer to Ukraine. These missiles could strike deep into Russian military-industrial sites, which, coupled with economic pressure, might convince Putin to pause the war. 1145-1200 Russia's Multi-Front War: European Drones, Space Threats, and Tomahawk Missiles Guests: John Hardie, Bill Roggio J FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Hostages, Disarmament, and Hamas's Reach into Europe Guest: Joe Truzman Joe Truzman details the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, which center on the release of the remaining 48 hostages (living and deceased) within 72 hours, potentially in exchange for a significant number of Palestinian prisoners, including convicted terrorists. The central obstacle to peace is Hamas's refusal to disarm, viewing it as tantamount to surrendering their identity. Fighting has lessened, with Israel toning down air strikes, possibly to show goodwill to President Trump. Truzman emphasizes that if Hamas retains its arms, another conflict is inevitable. He also notes the rise in reported Hamas plots in Europe, something uncommon historically, indicating the organization may be branching out its operations and feeling emboldened, as seen in the recent deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester. 1215-1230 Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Hostages, Disarmament, and Hamas's Reach into Europe Guest: Joe Truzman . 1230-1245 Maduro Regime Threatens US Embassy; Lula's Concern over US Pressure Guests: Alejandro Piña Esclusá, Ernesto Araújo Alejandro Piña Esclusá reports that Nicolás Maduro's chief negotiator, Jorge Rodríguez, falsely claimed a third party plans to assault the US embassy in Caracas, but Esclusá warns that Maduro himself ordered the operation.

PREVIEW: Possible False Flag Operation Against US Embassy in Caracas Guests: Alejandro Piña Esclusá and Ernesto Araújo The conversation between John Batchelor, Alejandro Piña Esclusá, and Ernesto Araújo focuses on the urgent situation in Caracas, particularly a possible attempt on the American embassy allegedly being planned by the Maduro regime. Alejandro Piña Esclusá brought information indicating that Maduro intends to stage the event, making it appear as if he is rescuing the embassy from "interlopers" or "invaders." Ernesto Araújo warned that this planned action is "very serious" and demonstrates Maduro's intent to increase his negotiating capital with the US and Donald Trump. The strategy involves having the embassy invaded, denying responsibility by claiming it is a false flag, and then using the embassy's return as a bargaining chip. Maduro would use this element to negotiate conditions, possibly demanding that the US "leave me in power" or "leave me in power under such and such conditions." This desperate move is being pursued because Maduro currently "doesn't have much in terms of bargaining chips anymore," leading him to look for one last element to introduce into negotiations.

LONDINIUM CHRONICLES: GAIUS & GERMANICUS PHILOSOPHIZE Summary of Audio Part 1 Gaius and Germanicus, reflecting on 21st-century events from Londinium, compare the American "princeps" (emperor) issuing ultimatums against "gangsters" in places like Gaza and Caracas to the Roman precedent of figures like Pompey suppressing the Cilician pirates, noting that emperors do not negotiate. Germanicus suggests the current US administration's approach of reducing direct administrative control over allies while maintaining titular supremacy is reminiscent of how the Roman Emperor in Constantinople dealt with emerging barbarian kingdoms by bestowing Roman titles like Consul and Patrician. They debate whether Europe's recent emergency meeting in Copenhagen regarding a "drone wall" signifies European independence or a success of the US princeps' policy of creative retrenchment, criticizing the arbitrary basis of 20th-century alliances like NATO and the discredited domino theory.

 Professor John Yoo examines US missile attacks on alleged Venezuelan drug boats, differentiating military force (war) from law enforcement (crime). He suggests that if the Maduro regime is using drug cartels like Tren de Aragua as instruments of attack against the US, it constitutes a state of war, justifying military action. Yoo argues that the president can use force defensively without seeking a declaration of war if the US is attacked first, even unconventionally 1902 CARACAS.

En este episodio de La Clave Pop, Marysabel Huston conversa con el cantautor venezolano Gonza Silva sobre su álbum debut Pronto estaré bien, un trabajo que transforma el duelo en música y compañía.La charla recorre el regreso de Gonza a la casa paterna en Venezuela tras diez años, la mandolina de su padre como hilo conductor de la producción y la manera en que la música se convirtió en su terapia. También hablamos de su decisión de grabar sin metrónomo ni “copy-paste”, apostando por la imperfección humana que hace a este disco real y vivo.En la entrevista, Gonza abre su corazón sobre la importancia de hablar de salud mental, la fuerza de la frase “Cariño y fe”, que se convirtió en un mantra compartido con sus fans, y la plenitud que siente al ver cómo sus canciones acompañan a tantas personas en sus procesos emocionales.

José Asunción Silva (1865–1896) fue un destacado poeta colombiano y una figura central en el surgimiento del modernismo literario en Hispanoamérica. Nacido en Bogotá en el seno de una familia aristocrática, su vida estuvo marcada por la sensibilidad artística, las tragedias personales y una profunda melancolía que se reflejan intensamente en su obra. Desde temprana edad, Silva mostró inclinación por la literatura. A los diez años escribió sus primeros poemas. Estudió en el Colegio de San José y en el Liceo de la Infancia. En 1884 emprendió un viaje a Europa, donde residió en París, Londres y Suiza. Durante su estancia en París, tuvo contacto con figuras del simbolismo francés como Stéphane Mallarmé y Gustave Moreau, influencias que marcaron su estilo literario. A su regreso a Colombia, enfrentó dificultades económicas tras la muerte de su padre, lo que lo llevó a asumir responsabilidades comerciales para sostener a su familia. Posteriormente, ocupó un cargo diplomático en Caracas, Venezuela, donde entabló amistad con escritores y poetas de la época. La vida de Silva estuvo marcada por múltiples tragedias. La muerte de su hermana Elvira en 1892, a quien estaba profundamente unido, lo sumió en una profunda depresión. En 1895, durante su regreso de Venezuela, el barco en el que viajaba naufragó, perdiéndose gran parte de su obra literaria, incluidos manuscritos inéditos. El 24 de mayo de 1896, a los 30 años, José Asunción Silva se quitó la vida en su residencia en Bogotá. Se encontró una copia del libro "El triunfo de la muerte" de Gabriele D'Annunzio en su mesita de noche, lo que ha sido interpretado como una señal de su estado emocional. Silva es considerado uno de los precursores del modernismo en la literatura hispanoamericana. Su poesía se caracteriza por una profunda introspección, musicalidad y el uso innovador del lenguaje. Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran: Nocturno: Poema emblemático escrito tras la muerte de su hermana, que refleja su dolor y melancolía. El libro de versos: Publicado póstumamente en 1923, recopila gran parte de su producción poética. De sobremesa: Novela publicada en 1925 que explora temas de decadencia y estética modernista. La influencia de Silva en la literatura colombiana y latinoamericana es profunda. Su rostro adornó el billete de 5.000 pesos colombianos desde 1995, y su poema "Nocturno" estaba impreso en microtexto en el reverso . La Casa de Poesía Silva, ubicada en Bogotá, funciona como museo y centro cultural dedicado a su memoria y a la promoción de la poesía. Su vida y obra han sido objeto de estudios y biografías, destacando "Almas en pena, chapolas negras" de Fernando Vallejo, que ofrece una visión apasionada y crítica de su existencia.

Le président vénézuélien, Nicolas Maduro, est sur le point de décréter «l'état de commotion extérieure», c'est-à-dire l'état d'urgence. Le décret entrera en vigueur si le pays «est agressé militairement par l'empire américain», a-t-il expliqué ce lundi, à la télévision publique. Les États-Unis ont déployé des navires de guerre dans les Caraïbes et ont bombardé plusieurs bateaux qui transportaient de la drogue, selon eux. Si l'état d'urgence est instauré, Nicolas Maduro aurait des pouvoirs spéciaux, ce qui suscite des inquiétudes au Venezuela. El Nacional se fait l'écho des craintes de juristes et de membres de l'opposition pour qui ce décret «pourrait servir à restreindre les libertés publiques, augmenter la censure des médias et justifier un rôle plus important de l'armée dans la vie politique et sociale.» L'état d'urgence d'une durée de 90 jours renouvelables, permet de concentrer le pouvoir entre les mains de l'exécutif et «de limiter les contre-pouvoirs institutionnels au nom de la protection de la nation», explique le journal. Au-delà des conséquences concrètes dans la vie des Vénézuéliens, ce décret aura des implications géopolitiques, analyse El Nacional. Il pourrait «augmenter les tensions avec Washington et aboutir à de nouvelles sanctions» tandis qu'il «renforcerait l'alliance entre Caracas et (...) la Russie, la Chine et l'Iran.»   Les États-Unis veulent faire tomber Nicolas Maduro C'est qu'affirme le New York Times  qui cite des responsables américains. Une «stratégie plus agressive», une «vaste campagne qui intensifierait la pression militaire pour tenter de le forcer à partir» est en préparation, affirment ces sources anonymes. «L'armée américaine a planifié des opérations militaires potentielles ciblant des suspects de trafic de drogue au Venezuela même, comme prochaine phase, bien que la Maison Blanche n'ait pas encore approuvé une telle mesure», détaille le New York Times. Le journal fait également état de discussions entre l'administration Trump et «deux figures majeures de l'opposition» qui préparent l'après-Maduro. Aux manettes de cette offensive, il y a Marco Rubio, soutenu notamment par le directeur de la CIA. Marco Rubio, fils d'immigrés cubains, «estime que le départ de Nicolas Maduro affaiblirait le gouvernement communiste de Cuba, l'un des proches alliés du Venezuela». L'ancien sénateur de Floride lorgne aussi sur les électeurs d'origine cubaine et vénézuélienne dans cet État.   Un mort dans des manifestations en Équateur En Équateur aussi, l'état d'urgence a été décrété dans 8 provinces alors que les manifestations contre la hausse du prix du diesel se poursuivent. Des manifestations qui se déroulent dans la violence. Un artisan de 46 ans, père de deux enfants, est mort dimanche (28 septembre 2025). Il a été tué par balles par l'armée à Cotacachi, à 100 km au nord de Quito, selon l'Alliance pour les droits de l'homme en Équateur. Les négociations avec le gouvernement sont au point mort. Chacun campe sur ses positions, relève La Hora. «Comment peut-on dialoguer après un assassinat ?», interroge le leader de la Confédération des nationalités indigènes d'Équateur qui voit dans le mort de cet homme de 46 ans un «crime d'État» et menace de mener un mouvement aussi dur qu'en 2019 et 2022. À l'époque, les gouvernements avaient dû faire marche arrière. Pas question, répète Daniel Noboa. «Je préfère mourir plutôt que de céder», a affirmé le président équatorien, souligne le journal. Hier, alors que le véhicule dans lequel il se rendait à Imbabura a été bloqué par des manifestants, il a redit qu'il ne lâcherait pas.   Comment sortir de la crise ? Pour La Hora, la seule solution, c'est l'intervention d'une tierce partie neutre. Dans les colonnes du journal, l'avocate Mildred Molineros, spécialiste de la gestion des conflits, estime que cela pourrait être un organisme international ou l'Église catholique. Et que cette tierce personne doit offrir ses services et ne pas attendre d'être sollicitée par le gouvernement ou les représentants des populations indigènes. À partir du moment où il y a déjà eu un mort, il y a urgence, insiste l'avocate. Un avis partagé par Ruth Hidalgo, responsable de l'ONG Corporation et Participation citoyenne qui explique à La Hora que le risque désormais, c'est «une escalade dans le conflit avec une radicalisation des [manifestants], un ralentissement de l'économie, une pénurie d'aliments et l'augmentation progressive du recours à la force» de la part des policiers et des militaires.   Haïti : un nouvelle force anti-gangs ? Le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU doit se prononcer ce mardi soir (30 septembre 2025) sur la transformation de la mission multinationale de soutien à la police haïtienne en une force anti-gangs plus robuste pour tenter de brider la violence qui ravage le pays. En Haïti, cela suscite du scepticisme dans certains secteurs de la population, explique Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse. «Certains pensent qu'il faut surtout renforcer les forces de l'ordre en leur donnant davantage d'effectifs et d'équipements. C'est la seule manière que le résultat soit durable», détaille le journaliste.   Des inondations dans la moitié du pays «Depuis jeudi, de fortes pluies provoquent des inondations dans 30 communes d'Haïti», raconte Gotson Pierre. «Plus de la moitié du pays est touchée». À certains endroits, la situation est catastrophique. Une personne est morte. Les habitants appellent au secours le gouvernement, mais «l'acheminement de l'aide va être compliqué car de nombreuses routes sont coupées par les gangs», explique le directeur d'Alterpresse.   Rencontre avec Atxu Marimã, membre du peuple Hi-Merimã Atxu Marima appartient au peuple amérindien Hi-Marimã et lui qui enfant, vivait isolé dans la forêt amazonienne, raconte son histoire dans un livre : comment il a dû s'adapter à la civilisation et comment depuis, il lutte pour la protection des peuples autochtones du Brésil qui continuent de vivre volontairement loin de tout et de tous, sans aucun contact avec le monde extérieur.

La tensión sube entre Venezuela y Estados Unidos desde que la Casa Blanca incrementó considerablemente su presencia militar en el mar Caribe. Washington afirma que el despliegue de buques de guerra, aviones caza y miles de hombres permite luchar contra el narcotráfico procedente de sudamérica y en particular de Venezuela. Caracas respondió con ejercicios militares y un llamado al diálogo con Estados Unidos. ¿Qué busca la Casa Blanca con la militarización del Caribe? Con ocho buques de guerra, un submarino, aviones caza y miles de hombres, Estados Unidos reforzó su presencia militar en el mar Caribe. Washington ha lanzado además tres ataques letales contra lanchas de supuestos narcotraficantes. Donald Trump y su Gobierno apuntan en particular a las redes venezolanas de narcotráfico de las que el presidente Nicolás Maduro sería presuntamente cómplice. Pero el argumento de la guerra contra las drogas responde ante todo a una postura política, analiza David A. Smilde, profesor de Sociología en la Universidad de Tulane en Luisiana y buen conocedor de las relaciones entre Washington y Caracas. "En su campaña, Donald Trump prometió a sus seguidores que iba a luchar contra las drogas bombardeando a los carteles", dice el experto. "Hay verdaderamente un problema de drogas en Estados Unidos, en ciudades como San Francisco, aquello parece como una película de terror, hay mucha gente adicta al fentanilo, el problema es que el fentanilo no pasa por Venezuela. Incluso, según la DEA (Oficina antidrogas de EE.UU), menos del 10% de la cocaína que llega a Estados Unidos pasa por Venezuela", agrega Smilde, quien califica las acciones de Trump de "teatro político".  Según el especialista, la estrategia bélica de la Administración Trump y la destrucción de lanchas buscan demostrar la existencia de una amenaza externa y de esta manera justificar las deportaciones de migrantes venezolanos.  "Si ellos pueden demostrar que tienen un conflicto con Venezuela, entonces eso les puede ayudar y darles herramientas para deportar a miles de venezolanos sin juicio", analiza.  De momento, la Casa Blanca descarta una intervención militar para derrocar a Maduro, pero el despliegue de tropas aumenta la presión sobre su Gobierno que ha llamado a la población a unirse a las filas de una milicia ciudadana para defender el territorio. El gobierno de Maduro "está bajo presión, sin duda. Tanto el chavismo como la oposición piensan en una posible invasión terrestre, lo que no ocurrirá. Si algo pasara, sería un bombardeo aéreo", asegura David Smilde. "Nicolás Maduro moviliza milicia para mandar el mensaje de que cualquier operación sería costosa porque tiene a la ciudadanía movilizada", concluye el académico.

Dans l'Artibonite, la violence des gangs ne faiblit pas et la police peine à répondre. La semaine dernière, le commissariat de Liancourt a été incendié. Les habitants, livrés à eux-mêmes, dénoncent une situation «catastrophique». Le gang Gran Grif a pris possession de la commune, incendiant des maisons et semant la panique, sans réaction notable des autorités. Un dossier de Ronel Paul. Deux jours après cette attaque, les Gonaïves s'embrasaient à leur tour. Le gang de Raboteau est descendu dans les rues pour protester contre la mort de Wilfort Ferdinand, alias Tiwil, tué par la police. Ses partisans ont exigé la révocation de Jacques Ader, nouveau chef de la police de l'Artibonite, menaçant de s'en prendre directement aux forces de l'ordre. Mais dans la région, certains défendent ce dernier, estimant qu'il est l'un des rares à pouvoir apporter une réponse au problème d'insécurité. Pendant ce temps, les gangs profitent du chaos pour étendre leur emprise. Après Liancourt et les Gonaïves, Bassin Bleu et Lestère ont été la cible d'attaques violentes, avec des commissariats et des maisons incendiés. Face à cette escalade, entrepreneurs et habitants dénoncent le manque de stratégie, de moyens et de volonté des autorités. La police est dépassée, selon Ronel Paul. Cette incapacité laisse le champ libre aux groupes armés pour continuer à terroriser la population.   La cérémonie en hommage à Charlie Kirk vue par la presse   Le Washington Post retient surtout deux choses : l'intervention de Donald Trump, et celle de la veuve du militant. Donald Trump a expliqué en quoi sa vision différait de celle de Charlie Kirk : « Il ne haïssait pas ses adversaires, il voulait leur bien… C'est là que je n'étais pas d'accord avec lui. » Une phrase qui aurait fait tomber n'importe quel autre responsable politique. Mais pas Donald Trump, écrit le Washington Post qui salut le discours apaisant d'Erika Kirk. Tout en rendant hommage à son mari, elle a dit avoir pardonné le tireur présumé. Deux témoignages qui ont mis en évidence la tension entre la politique brutale de Donald Trump et l'esprit de charité chrétienne que défendait Charlie Kirk. Le jeune militant avait contribué à changer le cours de l'histoire politique américaine, souligne le journal. Le président, lui, n'a pas été à la hauteur de cet héritage. Mais, selon le Washington Post, la cérémonie a ouvert la perspective d'un autre chemin pour les successeurs de Donald Trump.  À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: Donald Trump célèbre Charlie Kirk, un «géant de sa génération», dans un stade comble Quel avenir pour le mouvement de jeunesse MAGA ? Son rôle, notamment dans la mobilisation des jeunes électeurs, laisse un vide immense à l'approche des élections de mi-mandat de 2026. D'après CNN, les jeunes Américains se mobilisent beaucoup moins pour les législatives. Alors, après avoir écouté le discours parfois très virulent de Donald Trump, une question se pose : le pays préférerait-il un débat politique respectueux, pour lequel Charlie Kirk a été loué dimanche (21 septembre 2025), ou plutôt l'autoritarisme grandissant du président ? Donald Trump et la dérive vers l'autoritarisme Cet autoritarisme, on le voit déjà, à travers les attaques répétées de Donald Trump contre la liberté d'expression. Et la presse s'en inquiète. Le New York Times raconte que le président multiplie les attaques, visant les médias, les humoristes, ses opposants politiques. Ses proches disent que c'est pour lutter contre la désinformation et les discours de haine. Mais Donald Trump assume : il veut faire taire ses critiques. Il a menacé de poursuites des manifestants qui l'ont hué dans un restaurant à Washington, il a exigé la suspension d'animateurs télé, et engagé des procès contre plusieurs grands journaux, dont le New York Times. Le quotidien note que le président va plus loin que ses prédécesseurs Nixon, Bush ou Obama. Eux invoquaient la guerre ou la sécurité nationale. Donald Trump, lui, n'a aucun prétexte comparable. Et certains, même à droite, s'inquiètent de cette pratique de pressions assumées, ce qu'on appelle le jawboning, mais cette fois au grand jour et avec le soutien affiché de ses partisans.

Certains y ont vu la preuve d'un accord secret avec les États-Unis. C'est faux, rectifie le site El Pitazo. Mais la présence militaire américaine dans les Caraïbes, elle, est bien réelle.

Currently, Tren De Aragua has been identified as operating within 22 states in America. President Trump and the U.S. government have classified Tren de Aragua, MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha), and cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations which now changes the strategies to disrupt, dismantle, and deplete these enemy organizations. DEA Agent Wes Tabor has served an entire career working large scale cases against cartels and transnational gangs. His work in Guatemala led to the creation of a gang intelligence system used to track MS-13 members. He has hit the Chicago stash houses of "Choppo" Guzman, worked cases involving the direct connections between a Columbian cartel and Hezbollah, and spent years in Venezuela. His investigations while stationed in Caracas exposed narco-states in Venezuela with the Cartel De Los Soles and Tren De Aragua.His recent book, INFILTRATE AMERICA, uncovers the rise of Tren De Aragua and other transnational gangs, their connections to terrorist organizations, and their ability to operate in America.

Tensions between the United States and Venezuela are rapidly intensifying. Just hours after Caracas condemned a U.S. strike that killed 11 people, President Trump announced a second attack on a Venezuelan boat, killing three more. Washington calls the dead “narcoterrorists,” while Venezuela denounces the strikes as “heinous crimes.” With two lethal encounters in just days, fears are mounting that these clashes could spiral into a wider regional conflict — or even outright war.

En Argentine, la colère monte dans les universités. Après le veto du président Javier Milei bloquant l'actualisation de leur budget, étudiants et enseignants multiplient grèves, occupations et cours en plein air. Ils dénoncent une asphyxie financière qui menace l'éducation publique. Reportage de Théo Conscience. À Buenos Aires, des étudiants suivent des cours de microbiologie ou d'architecture sur la place de mai, au pied du palais présidentiel. Une manière de dénoncer la cure d'austérité imposée aux universités depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir de Javier Milei. Le budget de l'enseignement supérieur a été presque divisé par deux en un an et demi, ce qui met en péril le paiement des factures, l'entretien quotidien et les salaires des enseignants. « Nous sommes dans une situation d'urgence budgétaire », confie une professeure d'urbanisme à notre correspondant. Les enseignants, en première ligne, voient leur pouvoir d'achat s'effondrer. « Le gel des salaires a fait chuter nos revenus de 45% », témoigne Nicolas Viña, professeur de Sciences sociales. Plus de la moitié des enseignants perçoivent désormais un salaire inférieur au seuil de pauvreté, et près de 10 000 ont démissionné en un an et demi. Pour beaucoup, c'est le grand dilemme : rester dans des conditions précaires ou abandonner l'université publique. Face à ce démantèlement, les mobilisations se multiplient. Étudiants et professeurs rappellent que le gel des bourses et la hausse du coût de la vie rendent l'accès aux études de plus en plus difficile. « Si tu ne peux pas recharger ta carte de transport, tu finis par abandonner », déplore une étudiante. Une nouvelle marche fédérale est prévue ce mercredi devant le Congrès, où les députés devront se prononcer sur le veto présidentiel.   USA : la guerre contre les cartels sans l'aval du Congrès Donald Trump a annoncé que l'armée américaine avait frappé un bateau dans les Caraïbes. Selon lui, l'embarcation appartenait à des narcoterroristes vénézuéliens qui transportaient de la drogue vers les États-Unis. L'attaque aurait fait trois morts, a précisé Donald Trump. Le Washington Post souligne surtout que cette attaque – la deuxième en deux semaines – a été menée sans l'autorisation du Congrès. Une expansion ouverte et sans limites des pouvoirs présidentiels en matière de guerre, qui rappelle la « guerre contre le terrorisme » de George W. Bush dans les années 2000, écrit le journal. Sauf que Bush, lui, avait demandé l'aval du Congrès. Donald Trump, en revanche, applique ces méthodes dans l'hémisphère occidental… seul. Le quotidien ajoute que Trump pourrait avoir de bons arguments pour renforcer la présence militaire américaine autour du Venezuela. Mais son administration n'explique ni pourquoi la force est nécessaire, ni quels sont les objectifs, ni quand cela s'arrêtera. Le journal conclut : « Bienvenue dans la guerre contre le terrorisme 2.0 ». Côté Caracas, on se prépare déjà à une éventuelle attaque américaine sur le sol vénézuélien. Nicolas Maduro appelle la population à… s'entraîner au tir. Un appel qui fait beaucoup réagir dans la presse locale. « Cet appel est à mourir de rire », écrit El Nacional. Le journal raconte que des gens se moquent du président en défilant avec des manches à balai ou des branches pour imiter des tirs. Ce qui est moins drôle, poursuit le quotidien, c'est le cynisme de Maduro et de son ministre de l'Intérieur, Diosdado Cabello : responsables, selon lui, de plus de 340 morts lors des manifestations. « Ils sont les ennemis du peuple et demandent maintenant aux Vénézuéliens de les défendre », fustige le journal. Et de conclure : « Le peuple, même contraint, menacé ou victime de répression, ne se battra pas pour ceux qui l'humilient. » Aux États-Unis, le chômage de longue durée touche de plus en plus les cadres diplômés   C'est un phénomène qui inquiète : le chômage de longue durée touche de plus en plus… les diplômés universitaires. Le New York Times raconte l'histoire de Sean Wittmeyer, 37 ans, deux masters, dix ans d'expérience en architecture et en tech, mais au chômage depuis un an et demi. « Je ne peux même pas travailler dans la petite boutique de jeux de société au bout de la rue », dit-il, recalé partout, même pour des postes niveau stagiaire, car considéré comme surqualifié. Derrière un taux de chômage global assez bas, un peu plus de 4%, se cache une donnée alarmante : plus d'un quart des chômeurs le sont depuis plus de six mois, du jamais vu hors période de récession. Et le profil de ces chômeurs de longue durée a changé. « Des gens perdent leur emploi et n'en retrouvent pas dans les professions très qualifiées », explique un expert. Il y a plus de diplômés aujourd'hui, mais aussi moins de besoins, souligne le New York Times. Automatisation, intelligence artificielle, coupes dans la fonction publique : autant de facteurs qui réduisent la demande pour les profils universitaires. Katie Gallagher avoir postulé à plus de 3 000 postes en un an. « Le stress du rejet est insupportable », confie cette ancienne directrice commerciale à Portland. Aujourd'hui, elle est endettée et dépendante de l'aide alimentaire. En Haïti, les communes de Labodri et l'Arcahaie sous l'attaque des gangs Avec Gotson Pierre, directeur d'Alterpresse, nous revenons sur la « réponse tardive » du gouvernement après le massacre d'au moins 40 personnes, perpétré par des gangs à Labodri, une commune située au nord de Port-au-Prince.

Ghost dives deep into Trump's latest moves against cartels in Venezuela, breaking down the U.S. military strike on a drug boat, executive orders labeling cartels as terrorist organizations, and the constitutional debate over presidential authority. He highlights Venezuela's response, with Maduro deploying 25,000 troops to prove Caracas can tackle cartels on its own terms, signaling its place in the Sovereign Alliance. Using maps and detailed analysis, Ghost tracks trafficking routes, cartel influence, and the geopolitical stakes along Venezuela's borders with Colombia and Guyana. The episode then pivots to Nepal's deadly Gen Z protests over social media bans, probing whether they're organic or CIA-backed regime change ops. Wrapping up, Ghost unpacks Israel's unilateral strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, Trump's sharp rebuke to Netanyahu, and the fallout for ceasefire talks and the Abraham Accords. With humor, maps, and sharp narrative analysis, this episode ties together cartel warfare, sovereign movements, and Middle East volatility.

En este episodio nos encontramos con Ricardo del Búfalo, un colega muy cercano desde nuestros inicios en la comedia. Desde el primer minuto compartimos la reflexión sobre el miedo escénico: ese cosquilleo que nunca se va y que, según descubrimos juntos, se vuelve incluso necesario para mantener la adrenalina viva antes de subirnos al escenario. Nos reconocemos en esa sensación, porque no importa cuántos años pasen, el temor de olvidar un chiste o de no provocar risa siempre está ahí.A lo largo de la charla repasamos la trayectoria de Ricardo, desde sus inicios en Barquisimeto hasta su llegada a Madrid. Recordamos cómo, antes de ser comediante, se proyectaba como músico y soñaba con estudiar en Berklee. Sin embargo, se dio cuenta de que lo que realmente lo movía no era pasar ocho horas tocando la guitarra, sino comunicar ideas, analizar la realidad venezolana y transformarla en humor. Boston le dejó, además, una pasión inesperada: la fotografía de calle, ese gusto por observar la ciudad y atrapar momentos.En la conversación aparecen las influencias fundamentales: Andrés López y Laureano Márquez. Con Laureano se produjo un encuentro clave, porque fue él quien le confesó que incluso después de décadas sigue sintiendo miedo al subir al escenario. Esa honestidad se convirtió en un abrazo simbólico que lo acompañó en sus primeros pasos. Después vino el debut en Caracas, un show de quince minutos que salió fatal, pero que él celebró como una victoria porque logró recordar todo lo que había escrito. Entre risas entendimos que muchas veces el primer triunfo está en simplemente atreverse.Uno de los momentos más intensos fue recordar la anécdota del “sopapo” en Miss Universo. Ricardo confesó cómo un chiste mal planteado se convirtió en ola de odio y cómo de esa experiencia aprendió que no se puede hacer humor con el cuerpo de otra persona. La respuesta fue convertir la crisis en una canción humorística, un “homenaje” que transformó el hate en creatividad. Entre todos coincidimos en que esa resiliencia, esa capacidad de dar vuelta a lo negativo, es lo que sostiene a los artistas.Finalmente hablamos de migración. Ricardo lleva pocos meses en Madrid y todavía vive el duelo de dejar Venezuela. Lo más duro, nos dice, es la nostalgia; lo más liberador, caminar de noche sin miedo. Descubrimos con él que migrar sin voluntad es una especie de destierro emocional, pero también que en esa experiencia se abren nuevas búsquedas y nuevos públicos. El humor, concluimos, es nuestra manera de mirar y pensar la vida, y gracias a él seguimos construyendo puentes, dentro y fuera de nuestros países.

//The Wire//2300Z September 1, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: EARTHQUAKE STRIKES AFGHANISTAN. BLACKOUT REPORTED IN VENEZUELA. VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK CONDUCTED AT RUSSIAN CONSULATE IN AUSTRALIA. PROTESTS CONTINUE IN CHICAGO DURING LABOR DAY CRIME WAVE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Germany: A 16-year-old Ukrainian refugee was murdered over the weekend, after an illegal immigrant from Iraq pushed her in front of a train in Friedland. The migrant was not arrested at the scene, but after DNA evidence was gathered authorities arrested and placed him in a psychiatric facility where he awaits a decision on whether or not he will be charged for the murder.Analyst Comment: This case is important as the local media immediately tried to paint this story as the girl taking her own life. However, local authorities have confirmed that this is not the case. At the moment it's hard to independently confirm, but some sources claim that the victim was also speaking on the phone with her grandfather at the time of the attack, and remarked that a group of migrants were following her before the call was cut short. If this detail is true, this could be what triggered the investigation in the first place as there are no security cameras at the train station where she was murdered.Afghanistan: This morning an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 6.0 struck near the border with Pakistan. Hundreds of casualties have been reported, with the hardest-hit regions being the eastern districts of Kunar and Nangarhar.Venezuela: Over the weekend, large-scale blackouts were reported throughout Caracas and several outlying cities. Separately, the tensions between the United States and Venezuela continue, as both sides remain at a heightened state of military readiness throughout the region.Analyst Comment: As the US Navy continues power-projection operations in the area, many have been quick to link the blackouts in Venezuela with the American ships parked off the coast. However, this incident is probably more related to Venezuela's crippled electrical infrastructure, rather than any intervention by the United States. The United States is certainly not above sabotage in Venezuela, so it's certainly possible. However Venezuela has been "rationing" electricity for many years now, which has included the implementation of unplanned (and unannounced) rolling blackouts. This history indicates that if the U.S. were to bomb or sabotage electrical substations in Venezuela, it's doubtful that anyone would notice anything out of the ordinary.Australia: Yesterday a vehicle ramming attack was carried out at the Russian Consulate in Sydney. One unidentified man drove his vehicle up to the Entry Control Point (ECP) for the facility, and after being approached by security personnel, proceeded to ram his vehicle into the gates. The man was arrested at the scene, and one security guard was injured by broken glass while attempting to extract the man from the vehicle.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the return of the deadly screwworm parasite to U.S. soil, a sweeping Deep State update from the DIA to Epstein, and global headlines from Gaza, Ukraine, and Venezuela. From maggots threatening America's cattle herd to Marines steaming toward Caracas, today's brief connects domestic crises with international conflicts that could reshape U.S. policy. Screwworm Parasite Returns to America: Health officials confirm the first human case of screwworm infestation in decades, discovered in Maryland after a traveler returned from Latin America. Ranchers warn of catastrophic risks to U.S. beef herds, recalling outbreaks from the 1930s. Critics blame Biden's open border surge through Panama for allowing the parasite north. As Bryan puts it, “This screwworm crisis was preventable but Democrats and Joe Biden allowed it to happen.” Deep State Update — DIA, Bolton, and Epstein: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fires DIA chief Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse after his team relied on Iranian disinformation to downplay Trump's strike on Tehran's nuclear program. Senator Mark Warner blasted the move, warning of “a dangerous habit of treating intelligence as a loyalty test.” The FBI raids John Bolton's home and office in a classified documents probe, raising questions about why Biden-era DOJ buried the case. And newly released Ghislaine Maxwell testimony insists, “The President was always a gentleman in all respects,” while controversially minimizing Bill Clinton's Epstein ties as “one journey.” Gaza Hospital Strike Kills Civilians and Journalists: Israeli missiles hit Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, killing at least 20 including reporters for Reuters and the AP. Prime Minister Netanyahu's office calls it a “tragic mistake” as an investigation begins. Israeli media demand answers, asking, “How did this happen?” Ukraine Unveils 1,800-Mile Missile: President Zelenskyy announces Ukraine has built a long-range missile dubbed “The Flamingo” capable of striking deep into Russia. “We can and will strike deeper into Russian territory without the permission of Washington,” he declared, though Trump's Pentagon has quietly ordered U.S. weapons held back from long-range use. U.S. Marines Deploy Toward Venezuela: The 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit sails south with destroyers, submarines, and aircraft in what may be preparation to topple Nicolás Maduro's regime. Trinidad and Tobago's prime minister backs Trump, declaring, “No amount of Trump Derangement Syndrome tantrums will prevent my government from welcoming assistance to combat the terrorist drug cartels of Venezuela.” Bryan suggests the timing may connect to Trump's deportation strategy under the Alien Enemies Act.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: screwworm parasite Maryland case, Biden border crisis cattle, U.S. beef industry threat screwworm, Pete Hegseth fires DIA chief, Jeffrey Kruse Iran strike intel, Mark Warner loyalty test quote, John Bolton FBI raid classified docs, Ghislaine Maxwell Epstein testimony Trump Clinton, Gaza hospital missile strike journalists killed, Zelenskyy Flamingo missile 1800 miles, Trump Pentagon Ukraine ATACMS, U.S. Marines Venezuela deployment, Trinidad Tobago supports Trump, Nicolás Maduro drug cartel regime, Alien Enemies Act deportations

The Devil Within — The Caracas Seminary Possession: Part Two In the shadow of the Andes, a shuttered seminary holds more than dust and memories. Whispers in the chapel. A vanished priest. A locked door that was never truly locked. In Part Two of The Caracas Seminary Possession, the line between ritual and reckoning blurs. From a midnight Mass that leaves nine witnesses changed forever, to the disturbing discovery beneath the chapel's foundation, this chapter pulls us deeper into a mystery the Church would rather forget. The question isn't what happened inside San Miguel Seminary— It's what might still be happening.

En este episodio de En Defensa Propia converso con Merianny Villarroel, una mujer que me dejó sin aliento con su historia de vida. Ella nació en Margarita, Venezuela, fue mamá adolescente y a los 20 años emigró a Los Ángeles sin hablar inglés, sin contactos y con la determinación de salir adelante. Lo que empezó como un salto al vacío terminó convirtiéndose en una carrera que hoy la conecta con artistas de talla mundial. Merianny pasó de coser carteras en su garaje a estudiar diseño de moda y convertirse en la creadora de piezas que han recorrido alfombras rojas. Su gran salto llegó con la chaqueta roja de cristales que The Weeknd usó en el Super Bowl, sin que ella misma supiera que el artista se la pondría. Desde entonces, su nombre empezó a sonar en Hollywood y ha trabajado con celebridades como Demi Lovato, Christina Aguilera y Kelly Rowland. Pero detrás de todo ese brillo hay una historia de resiliencia: una joven que debió separarse de su hija, vivir un divorcio difícil y reinventarse desde cero. En esta conversación hablamos de cómo la moda se convirtió en su refugio y su manera de sanar, de la valentía que se necesita para empezar de nuevo y de lo que significa vivir con nostalgia por la tierra que dejaste. Uno de los momentos más especiales fue cuando me contó sobre su vestido “Petare de Noche”, inspirado en las casitas de Caracas, con el que ganó un importante concurso en Los Ángeles. Ese vestido no fue solo arte, fue también resistencia y orgullo venezolano. Ahora, prepara su primera colección inspirada en Margarita y sueña con mostrarla en el Castillo de Pampatar, como un homenaje a su isla y a su abuela. Escuchar a Merianny es una montaña rusa de emociones: risas, lágrimas y mucha inspiración. Ella me recuerda que la intuición, la preparación y la valentía son las claves para cumplir los sueños, por más imposibles que parezcan. Enlaces y próximos eventos: Hay momentos que te cambian para siempre y este retiro puede ser uno de ellos. De la mano de la Dra. Shefali viviremos una experiencia solo para mujeres en Playa del Carmen, en el hotel AIA, del 28 al 31 de agosto 2025. Una experiencia todo incluido para que solo tengas que llegar… y dejarte transformar. Cupos limitados.

The Devil Within — The Caracas Seminary Possession: Part One A crumbling seminary in Caracas. Nine witnesses who swore they saw the impossible. And a Church desperate to bury the truth—along with the bodies. In Part One of The Caracas Seminary Possession, we open the locked doors of San Miguel for the first time in decades. Through survivor testimony, long-sealed diocesan files, and forgotten police reports, we follow the trail from a single unexplained incident to a full-scale exorcism that spiraled out of control. Some say the evil was cast out. Others believe it never left.
