Mark Brennan, Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins me to review their Q4 2025 financial and operational metrics at the producing Minera Don Nicolas (MDN) gold mine in Argentina. We discuss the aggressive 70,000 meter exploration program on tap for MDN into 2026, review the permitting process at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal and the key development catalysts on tap at the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium project in Quebec. Q4 2025 Financial Highlights Gold Equivalent Ounce ("GEO") Production of 13,806 GEO for the 4th Quarter 2025 Full year production of 50,238 GEO; in line with guidance Initial Underground production at Paloma achieved and now delivering ore to the plant, supporting higher grade throughput and growing production CIL plant received additional ore from underground development, mainly in December, resulting in total production of 5,968 GEO in Q4 through CIL plant Heap leach production of 7,838 GEO impacted by low water availability, reducing irrigation capacity 2026 Production Guidance of 50,000 to 60,000 GEO weighted to H2/26 Exploration Program positioned to support resource growth at MDN with four new drill rigs now on site Development activities continue to progress at both the Lagoa Salgada and Mont Sorcier projects Mark and I review their Minera Don Nicolas producing gold project in Argentina, and the combination of heap leach and underground gold equivalent ounce production for the quarter. With improved crushing for the quantity of ore being put on the leach pads and the contribution of new higher-grade areas from the underground mining running through the CIL plant, this will help reduce down unit costs moving into 2026. There is an ongoing 70,000 meter drill program that will be looking to extend mine life in a substantial way and find new high-grade areas. Next we unpacked the discuss the purported unfavourable opinion of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the Lago Salgada VMS Project in Portugal. This ‘unfavourable opinion' was issued after expiry of statutory deadline under Portuguese EIA legislation. The Company maintains its position that the project has been tacitly approved. Mark reiterated that the purported unfavorable opinion was issued despite the project being the first mining project in Portuguese history to receive unanimous favourable opinion for the Project by all 14 entities that make up the Technical Evaluation Committee. The Company is working on a resolution and will update the market when it has more information. Moving on to the Mont Sorcier Iron Project in Quebec, there are workstreams feeding into a Bankable Feasibility Study slated for Q2 of 2026. Recent metallurgical test work has reaffirmed the potential to produce high-grade and high-purity iron concentrate grading in excess of 67% iron with silica and alumina content below 2.3%, which gets a premium in the iron marketplace. The NPV(8%) of the is project in the prior PEA was US$1.6Billion, so even at a very low multiple being applied to this Project, it more than underpins the current market cap that the company is currently receiving, and yet the market cap doesn't even fully reflect the gold production asset. We wrap up discussing the underappreciated valuation that the company is receiving for the producing MDN mine in Argentina when compared to peer gold producers with even lower production numbers. Then, when that undervaluation is viewed in combination with the value proposition from the ongoing derisking work at the Mont Sorcier, then it is clear the market hasn't been ascribed any value to that project at present; presenting a compelling rerating potential as the Feasibility Study clarifies the project economics.

Interview with Keith Boyle, Director & CEO of New Found GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/new-found-gold-tsxvnfg-2025s-strategic-transformation-to-2026-production-8915Recording date: 23rd January 2026New Found Gold Corporation has commenced the execution phase of its flagship Queensway gold project in Newfoundland by awarding the engineering, procurement and construction management contract to WSP Canada. The appointment culminates a competitive selection process involving seven firms and positions the company to achieve first production in late 2027 through an integrated development strategy coordinating engineering, environmental permitting, and project financing.The development plan centres on expanding the acquired Pine Cove mill to 1,400 tonnes per day capacity by converting the facility from flotation to a gravity-CIL circuit and adding a parallel processing train using equipment relocated from the Nugget Pond facility. This approach leverages existing permitted infrastructure obtained through the Maritime Resources acquisition rather than constructing greenfield facilities, reducing both capital requirements and development timeline risk. Pine Cove currently processes 700 tonnes per day from the Hammerdown mine, which is ramping to steady-state production in the first half of 2026 and will generate cash flow during Queensway development.CEO Keith Boyle's selection of an EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management) contract structure over traditional EPC reflects management's experience in project delivery and prioritisation of execution certainty over aggressive cost minimisation. The EPCM approach allows collaborative execution with WSP while maintaining owner involvement and flexibility for design optimisation as engineering advances. WSP was selected from five proposals based on relevant mill expansion experience and commenced preliminary work before year-end, establishing early integration with New Found Gold's permitting and financing timelines.The company has structured its path to production around three parallel workstreams coordinated by COO Robert Assabgui. Vice President of Sustainability Jared Saunders is advancing the environmental assessment application through Stantech, targeting submission in Q1 2026. Stantech secured Firefly Metals' environmental approval in 45 days during 2025, providing a relevant precedent for timeline expectations. The environmental assessment process operates independently of WSP's engineering advancement, allowing simultaneous progress without creating schedule dependencies.Meanwhile, Cutfield Freeman is structuring project financing for Queensway development, with management reporting strong interest from potential financing partners. The financing workstream must align with engineering schedules to ensure capital availability for long-lead equipment purchases and construction mobilisation following permit approvals. These represent the next critical milestones following environmental assessment approval.The investment case combines multiple elements: de-risked development through acquired infrastructure, experienced management executing proven development models, near-term catalysts providing sequential de-risking opportunities, Newfoundland's permitting certainty, and management's reported financing confidence. The Hammerdown production ramp provides near-term cash flow while Queensway advances through development, creating a portfolio structure with both production and development components.Investors should monitor environmental assessment approval, financing commitment announcement, and long-lead equipment procurement as key milestones over the next 12-18 months. Each milestone achievement should reduce perceived execution risk and potentially re-rate valuation toward production-stage multiples. The late 2027 production target provides a defined investment horizon for evaluating execution progress, while the current gold price environment above $4,500 per ounce provides economic headroom supporting proper engineering investment without compromising project returns.New Found Gold's disciplined approach to service provider selection and integrated execution framework positions the company to differentiate itself among junior developers through demonstrated execution capability rather than aggressive timelines with minimal professional support.View New Found Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/new-found-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Interview with Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/banyan-gold-tsxvbyn-high-grade-explorer-attracts-institutional-interest-with-76m-oz-resource-7940Recording date: 30th December 2025Banyan Gold (TSXV:BYN) has emerged as a compelling opportunity in North America's gold development space, hosting 7.6 million ounces across 2.2 million indicated and 5.4 million inferred resources at its road-accessible AurMac project in Canada's Yukon Territory. The company closed 2025 with nearly $40 million in treasury following strategic financings, including backing from Peruvian mining family Alpayana, positioning it to execute an aggressive 40,000-meter drill program in 2026 at efficient costs of $350 per meter.Management implemented a transformative geological model in 2025 that identifies predictable high-grade zones exceeding 1 gram per ton gold. This technical advancement enables focused drilling on areas that will drive early mine economics through starter pits, converting previously classified waste blocks to ore while expanding deposit boundaries. The company shifted its development strategy from heap leaching to conventional milling with gravity-CIL processing, delivering 93% recovery rates and reducing technical risk for future partners.A preliminary economic assessment scheduled for second half 2026 represents a critical milestone, utilizing gold price assumptions around $3,000 per ounce versus the $2,050 used in current resource estimates. This higher pricing could substantially expand pit shells and highlight project economics at a time when major producers desperately need large-scale assets in secure jurisdictions.An unexpected silver discovery adds further upside, with intercepts reaching 14 kilograms per ton within broader high-grade zones. With silver trading at multi-year highs, this mineralization could materially enhance project value.Trading at approximately 0.16 times net asset value compared to peer averages of 0.4, Banyan presents significant valuation upside. The combination of existing infrastructure including hydroelectric power, a mining-friendly Yukon government, district-scale potential, and completed metallurgical derisking positions the company as an attractive M&A candidate for majors seeking reserve replacement in Tier 1 jurisdictions.View Banyan Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/banyan-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Mark Brennan, Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins me to review their Q3 2025 financial and operational metrics at the producing Minera Don Nicolas (MDN) gold mine in Argentina. We discuss the aggressive 70,000 meter exploration program on tap for MDN into 2026, and unpack the key upcoming development catalysts at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal and the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium project in Quebec. Q3 2025 Financial Highlights Gold equivalent production of 13,832 Gold Equivalent Ounces (“GEO”) vs 11,437 GEOs in Q2 2025 (+21%) at an AISC of $1,915/oz Adjusted EBITDA of $11.8 million for Q3 2025, and Cash at $16.5 million Partial hedge expires end December increasing future gold sale prices Full year guidance of 50,000-55,000 GEO maintained: Heap leach production growing as expanded crushing capacity and improved recoveries result in another record of quarterly production of 10,429 GEO (+33% vs Q2) Q4 Underground mining production ramping up with underground development at Paloma advancing, and three access portals targeted to reach production stopes by year-end. CIL plant starting to receive ore from underground development, production expected to ramp up in Q4/2025 as higher-grade underground material supplants lower grade stockpile feed in the mill 20,000 meter exploration program expanded by 50,000 meters to a 70,000 meter surface program, with additional rigs to arrive in the fourth quarter Mark and I review their Minera Don Nicolas producing gold project in Argentina, and the record heap leach gold equivalent ounce production for the quarter. There is expanded and improved crushing capacity at the heap leach, from the newly installed secondary crusher, and this will continue to be impactful on a move-forward basis in Q4 and beyond, with the quantity of ore being placed on the pad having increased, and with it helping to reduce down unit costs in the latter part of H2 2025. Next we unpacked the growing value proposition at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal, with a Post-tax NPV of US$147 million and a 39% IRR in the current Feasibility Study. This Project adds both substantial precious metals resources along with critical minerals exposure (42 % Gold & Silver, 24% zinc, 14% copper, and 5% tin) to the future production profile. We also discuss the various work streams leading to optimized Feasibility Study in Q4, a construction decision by mid-2026, and with first production slated for early 2028. We wrap up discussing the underappreciated value and ongoing derisking work that is moving towards a Bankable Feasibility Study which has been moved back to Q2 of 2026 at the Mont Sorcier Iron Project in Quebec. Recent metallurgical test work, has reaffirmed the potential to produce high-grade and high-purity iron concentrate grading in excess of 67% iron with silica and alumina content below 2.3%.

Mark Brennan, Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins me to review their Q3 2025 operational metrics, along with the expansionary exploration program at the producing Minera Don Nicolas gold mine in Argentina. We also unpack the value proposition and key upcoming development catalysts at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal and the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium project in Quebec. Q3 Operating Highlights Q3 Production of 13,868 GEO vs 11,437 GEO in Q2 2025 (+21%) Heap leach production growing as expanded crushing capacity and improved recoveries result in record quarterly production of 10,465 GEO (+33% vs Q2) Underground development at Paloma is advancing, with ramp well advanced and three access portals targeted to reach production stopes in Q4 CIL plant starting to receive ore from underground development, production expected to ramp up in Q4/2025 as higher grade underground material supplants lower grade feed in the mill Expanded crushing capacity results in substantial additional tonnage to the leach pad and record quarterly production Underground Development to access production stopes in Q4 supporting increase in mill head grade and production 2025 Production Guidance revised to 50,000 to 55,000 GEO Exploration Program expanded with an additional 50,000m planned for 2026 (in addition to the existing ~15,000m program in 2025) Mark and I review their Minera Don Nicolas producing gold project in Argentina, and the record heap leach gold equivalent ounce production for the quarter. There is expanded and improved crushing capacity at the heap leach, from the newly installed secondary crusher, and this will continue to be impactful on a move-forward basis into Q4 and beyond, with the quantity of ore being placed on the pad having increased, and with it helping to reduce down unit costs in the latter part of H2 2025. The production profile will also keep growing with the underground mining having now commenced. With higher gold prices, the CIL plant continued to process lower-grade stockpiles in Q3/25, but new high-grade material from the underground mining operations has started to be blended with that moving forward, and this will increase the average grade throughput at the mill. Another area of future growth will be the ongoing drill program of about 15,000 meters this year and another 50,000 meters slated for next year (once all 4 drill rigs are in place). It will be a combination of underground exploration work targeting new areas of mineralization and growing the mine life, in addition to surface drilling that is exploring around the open pit resources, as well as identifying additional satellite open-pits at surface. Next we unpacked the growing value proposition at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal, with a Post-tax NPV of US$147 million and a 39% IRR in the current Feasibility Study.

rWotD Episode 3036: Domitius Alexander Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 26 August 2025, is Domitius Alexander.Lucius Domitius Alexander (died c. 310), probably born in Phrygia, was vicarius of Africa when Emperor Maxentius ordered him to send his son as hostage to Rome. Alexander refused and proclaimed himself emperor in 308.The most detailed if somewhat confusing description of the insurrection is given by Zosimus (II, 12 and 14). He reports that Maxentius sent his portrait to Africa to gain recognition as Emperor there. The troops resisted because of their loyalty to Galerius. Maxentius ordered Domitius Alexander, the vicar of Africa, to send his son to Rome to secure his loyalty. Alexander refused and was crowned Emperor by his army. The incident was probably caused by the conflict between Maxentius and his father Maximian in April 308, and Zosimos confused Galerius with Maximian in his account.Apart from the provinces in north Africa (today's Algeria, Tunisia and western Libya), Domitius Alexander also controlled Sardinia. At the time of his accession, he was already at an advanced age. There is evidence in an inscription (CIL viii, 22183) that Alexander and Constantine I allied themselves in opposition to Maxentius. Salama suggests that, at the latest, the pact was entered into by autumn of 310.Maxentius sent his praetorian prefect Rufius Volusianus and a certain Zenas to quell the rebellion, and Alexander was taken prisoner and then executed by strangulation. Apparently, his troops did not offer much resistance. Maxentius retaliated with confiscations of the property of alleged supporters of Alexander. The year of the end of Alexander's reign is subject to debate, although it was certainly in either late 309 or early 310.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Tuesday, 26 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Domitius Alexander on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Salli.
Fred Earnest, President and CEO of Vista Gold Corp. (NYSE American and TSX: VGZ), joins us for comprehensive update on the revised Resource Estimate, and the new optimized Feasibility Study announced July 29th at their Mt Todd Gold Project. Mt Todd is a ready-to-build development-stage gold deposit located in the Tier-1 mining jurisdiction of Northern Territory, Australia. Fred reviews the 10.6 million ounces of gold resources in all categories, and the infrastructure and jurisdiction advantages to the working in this area of Australia. We then shifted over to lower capex and key efficiencies outline in the updated 2025 Feasibility Study (“2025 FS”). This new 2025 FS provides a favorable development alternative to Vista's previous feasibility study completed in 2024 at 50,000 tpd, as it now envisions a 15,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”) mining scenario. This smaller initial project has a much lower capex, and prioritizes higher grade ore being sent to the processing plant, significantly reducing development capital required and operational risks. FEASIBILITY STUDY HIGHLIGHTS Average annual gold production of 153,000 ounces during years 1-15 and 146,000 over the 30-year life of mine Average ore grade of 1.04 grams gold per tonne (“g Au/t”) over the first 15 years of operations and 0.97 g Au/t over the life of mine Life of mine average gold recovery of 88.5% from 3-stage crush, single-stage sort, 2-stage grind, and carbon-in-leach (“CIL”) recovery circuit Contract mining and third-party power generation reduce capital costs and operational risks Future expansion opportunities not evaluated in the Study, but considered in designs and layouts ROBUST PROJECT ECONOMICS After-tax NPV5% of $1.1 billion, IRR of 27.8% and 2.7 year payback at a $2,500 per ounce gold price After-tax NPV5% of $2.2 billion, IRR of 44.7% and 1.7 year payback at spot gold price ($3,300 per ounce) After-tax free cash flow at a $2,500 gold price of $1.6 billion for first 15 years of commercial operations Initial capital requirements of $425 million, a 59% reduction from the 2024 FS Capital Efficiency: $93 per ounce (initial capital : total ounces of gold produced) All-in Sustaining Cost of $1,449 per oz years 1-15 and $1,499 per oz years 1-30 If you have questions for Fred regarding Vista Gold, then please email those into us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.

In this final episode of the Whiteness as Shape-Shifter series, Maureen turns the finger inward. From the loudness of fascism to the subtle betrayals of liberalism, this series has traced how whiteness hides and adapts. Here, the focus is on the most difficult terrain: the reflexes that live inside the body, the mind, and the spirit.Drawing wisdom from Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Paulo Freire, Richard Brody's reading of Sinners, and Octavia E. Butler's Wild Seed, Maureen asks: what has to die inside me for me to evolve, to transform, to transmute?The episode is inspired by Annie's devastating choice in Sinners as a metaphor for radical boundaries, while weaving in ancestral and feminist lineages where shapeshifting is not sinister, but sacred. Diedra Barber reminds us that patriarchy and white supremacy stole this gift of the goddess—and that reclaiming it is a return to power-with, not power-over.This conversation is not about shame, but about practicing transparency, vulnerability, and love as acts of liberation.This week's reflection:What does my body do when I'm protecting whiteness?What part of me feels like it will die if I don't?And what might be born in me if I let that part go?When discomfort rises—in parenting, teaching, art-making, activism, or healing—how do my somatic cues shape my choices?This episode is a closing invitation to pause, notice, and reclaim the sacred power to shapeshift—not to disappear, but to appear more fully in alignment with love, accountability, and collective liberation.Support the showThis episode was created with deep love, and deep thanks to the frameworks and tools within Cultivating Intersectional Leadership, a course I co-created with Diedra Barber.

Mini-series Part 3: The Shape-Shift of Good Intentions Still White at the CoreIn this episode, Maureen moves the lens from pointing the finger outward to turning it inward, tracing how whiteness shape-shifts inside us, softening edges, pleasing, and protecting the status quo even when wrapped in the language of justice.Drawing from Angela Davis, bell hooks, James Baldwin, Stokely Carmichael, and Ibram X. Kendi, Maureen examines the ways “good intentions” can mask white supremacist logic, and how liberalism often trades transformation for comfort.With help from Diedra Barber's insights on how patriarchy and white supremacy have co-opted the sacred, feminist, and ancestral art of shapeshifting, Maureen challenges listeners to reclaim that power, not for compliance but for connection, accountability, and liberation. The film Sinners returns as a metaphor for assimilation's hidden cost: the invitation that drains your soul while appearing generous.This episode is a call to notice where you have adapted yourself to fit systems, and to choose shapeshifting as a tool for survival, integrity, and transformation instead.This week's reflection:Where do I shape-shift to maintain comfort rather than create change?What have I been taught by white supremacy and patriarchy that I am ready to transmute?How can I use the power to shift as a practice of accountability, care, and liberation?Support the showThis episode was created with deep love, and deep thanks to the frameworks and tools within Cultivating Intersectional Leadership, a course I co-created with Diedra Barber.

Mark Brennan, Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins me to review the Q2 2025 operations and 20,000 meter expansionary exploration program at the producing Minera Don Nicolas gold mine in Argentina, and the value proposition key upcoming development catalysts at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal and the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium project in Quebec. Q2 2025 M.D.N. Operating Highlights: Gold Equivalent Ounce ("GEO") Production of 11,437 GEO for the 2nd Quarter 2025 Underground Development has commenced and production set to ramp up in H2/2025 Expanded crushing and agglomeration capacity should expand tonnages to the leach pads and improve recoveries at the Heap Leach operation 2025 Production Guidance of 55,000 - 60,000 GEO remains in place, production weighted to H2 2025 as underground ramps up 20,000m Exploration Program underway at MDN targeting potential significant resource growth opportunities Mark and I review their Minera Don Nicolas producing gold project in Argentina, and the record heap leach gold equivalent ounce production for the quarter. We discuss the positive impact that the newly installed secondary crusher has brought to production starting at the tail-end of Q2, but then will continue to be impactful on a move-forward basis in Q3 and beyond, with the quantity of ore being placed on the pad having increased. The production profile will also keep growing in Q3 with the underground mining having now commenced. With higher gold prices, the CIL plant continued to process lower-grade stockpiles and is planned to continue processing low grade stockpiles through Q2/25, after which it will be blended with new high-grade material from the underground mining operations, and this will increase the average grade throughput at the mill. Another area of future growth will be the 20,000 meter drill program that is exploring the open pit resources, as well as identifying for more satellite open-pits at surface. Having gone underground, there is also now the potential for underground exploration work to begin targeting new areas of mineralization or further defining existing areas of mineralization. Next we unpacked the growing value proposition at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal, with a Post-tax NPV of US$147 million and a 39% IRR in the current Feasibility Study. This Project adds both substantial precious metals resources along with critical minerals exposure (42 % Gold & Silver, 24% zinc, 14% copper, and 5% tin) to the future production profile. We also discuss the 2 areas that will be addressed in the resubmission of their Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) where approval is expected after upcoming political elections, and there will be an optimized Feasibility Study released in Q3, a construction decision by year end or early next year. Construction is targeted for Q2 of 2026, with first production slated for H2 2027.* We wrap up discussing the underappreciated value and ongoing derisking work that is moving towards a Bankable Feasibility Study in Q1 of 2026 at the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium in Quebec. Recent metallurgical test work, has reaffirmed the potential to produce high-grade and high-purity iron concentrate grading in excess of 67% iron with silica and alumina content below 2.3%.

Mini-series Part 2: The Safehouse of NeutralityIn this episode, Maureen continues the deep dive into how whiteness shape-shifts—this time through the soft power of institutional neutrality.From school boards banning books to nonprofits redirecting equity funds, neutrality is used as a strategy, not a stance. With help from Audre Lorde and Ta-Nehisi Coates, Maureen explores how whiteness hides inside “objectivity,” “professionalism,” and “donor comfort”—shielding itself from critique while punishing disruption.We also return to the film Sinners, where vampires can't feed unless invited in—a sharp metaphor for how institutions drain labor and integrity under the guise of collaboration and care.This episode is an invitation to notice how neutrality shows up in your body, your choices, and your leadership—and to replace silence with principled transparency.In this episode we explore:The DEI pullback across schools, nonprofits, and philanthropyHow neutrality protects whiteness by disguising harm as harmonyAudre Lorde's warning about the master's tools and institutional complicityTa-Nehisi Coates on policy, legality, and the false myth of apolitical violenceWhy discernment and transparency are tools of liberatory practiceThis week's reflection:Where do I use the language of “neutrality,” “professionalism,” or “objectivity” to avoid discomfort?What's the cost of that avoidance—and who pays it?Where have I been complicit in protecting the institution rather than disrupting the harm?When have I confused conflict avoidance with actual care?Support the showThis episode was created with deep love, and deep thanks to the frameworks and tools within Cultivating Intersectional Leadership, a course I co-created with Diedra Barber.

En esta plaza singular que es X, donde las palabras son estoque y los argumentos muleta, vamos a presentar a dos invitados de lidia mayor. Y lo haremos con el lenguaje de los ruedos, no por folclore, sino porque nada como la tauromaquia para retratar el valor, el estilo y la acometida con que estos dos tuiteros se enfrentan a las fieras del pensamiento dominante. Aquí no hay paseíllo por cortesía: entran directamente a los medios, desafiando a la plaza. Dos espadas de la palabra digital, dos figuras que no rehúyen ni el quite ni el embroque: Vaitovek a vuelto @Vaitovekisback y el periodista y escritor Manuel Valera @mmvaleraes. Cada uno, con su capote de opiniones afiladas, lidia en la plaza virtual con un estilo propio: Vaitovek corta con derechazos polémicos, desafiando narrativas sociales y políticas, mientras Valera traza naturales profundos, embistiendo contra el poder y la censura con una faena que busca el clamor del tendido. Por desgracia mucho del publico se encuentra todavía en sombra y ni los ve ni comprende su toreo. Son maestros que, con sus publicaciones, torean el albero de las ideas, dejando huella en cada pase para quienes siguen sus lances en esta plataforma. El primero en salir al ruedo es el diestro @Vaitovekisback, que no se anda con tanteos: entra de frente y por derecho, con una faena cargada de arrestos y verdad. «Como saben quienes me leen soy ateo. Pero además tengo sentido de la justicia e instintivo gusto por dar de hostias a los matones. Y hoy está claro que los católicos son especie perseguida, por tanto este diablo ateo fostiara siempre que pueda a quienes les ataquen injustamente.» Desde los primeros lances ya se ve que no es torero de salón. Con el capote bien asentado y los pies clavados en la arena, suelta verónicas afiladas que cortan el aire de lo políticamente correcto. «Qué hasta los cojones estoy de la moralina hipócrita del "odio". Si alguien viola a tu hija o te incendia tu casa y no le aborreces con todo tu ser y no descansas hasta hacer justicia y castigarle exactamente como merece, al milímetro, ESTÁS MUERTO IMBÉCIL.» Sus muletazos —con carga polémica— no esquivan las zonas calientes: feminismo, victimismo, moralina hipócrita, plandemias, holocuentos… «Soy incapaz de expresar lo increíblemente harto que estoy del supremacismo victimista, histérico, llorica, hipócrita, despótico y lunático de la gran mayoría de las mujeres, las cuales se han vuelto, feministas y no, absolutamente insoportables en todo y para todo.» No hay quite templado ni media verónica para el lucimiento. Aquí cada pase es una estocada a la línea de flotación de los discursos dominantes. Habla de la pandemia como una farsa sin ruedo, de las vacunas como veneno con etiqueta oficial, y de las élites como resabios de inquisidores modernos. «Operación COVID: Sólo hay un crimen más execrable y perverso que envenenar masivamente a la población de medio mundo, niños incluidos, a saber: Hacerlo engañándoles, convenciéndoles de que el veneno es una vacuna contra una enfermedad fantasma inventada y representada al efecto.» Como buen matador de fondo, no rehúye el tercio de varas: se planta y aguanta los pitos del respetable que no quiere ver como flojean al toro, y lanza pases largos a la inmigración subvencionada, a la corrupción mediática y a lo que él llama "el culto al gilipollas". «¿Asesinar al Presidente del Gobierno de otro país para promover un cambio de régimen conforme a los intereses del tuyo es un golpe de Estado extranjero o una "transición política pacífica y modélica”?» Sus reflexiones sobre inmigración, con las que apunta a las subvenciones como cómplices de salarios rácanos, o sus desplantes a los medios tradicionales, comparados con un culto ciego, levantan polvareda en los tendidos. «Soy "racista". Y estoy orgulloso de serlo. Y voy a por los hideputas racistas musulmanes, judíos y de toda laya que están jodiendo a mi gente. Y tú no eres "racista" sino un pobre gilipollas nenaza que piensa que si les chupas la polla lo bastante la cosa no será tan mala.» Desde 2023 hasta este julio de 2025, nunca ha salido por la puerta de chiqueros: siempre está al sol, toreando en abierto. «Qué interesante sería un estudio exhaustivo sobre la relación matriz-filial entre logias masónicas (y think thanks, fundaciones, etc. asociados) y partidos políticos, comenzando por las Rev. inglesa, francesa, americana, bolchevique, etc. hasta nuestros días.» En resumen, un torero bronco y con raza, que no busca trofeos fáciles sino remover los cimientos. Y tras el primer toro arrastrado ya por las mulillas, aparece de luces Manuel Valera, que le cae como anillo al dedo, con el porte y la gallardía que mandan los cánones del arte taurino. ¡Ole maestro! grita un exaltado desde el tendido nada más ver como se echa la muleta a la izquierda con serenidad y temple. Su estilo no es el del golpe seco, sino el del pase largo y profundo, con hondura crítica y aroma de disidencia ilustrada. Celebra el despertar colectivo frente a narrativas como la pandemia o la ingeniería climática. «Ahora estamos mal, pero estamos mejor que antes, porque antes estábamos bien, pero era mentira. No como ahora, que estamos mal pero es de verdad.» Hay en sus tuits algo de vieja escuela, como los naturales de Curro Romero o los cambios de mano de Rafael de Paula: no muchos, pero cada uno deja eco. Sus mensajes destilan propósito, convicción y una pulsión ética que no necesita ruido para ser contundente. «Un propósito en la vida. Una misión. Tomar lo tuyo como un monacato, levantarte y ponerte a ello sin que nada sea capaz de pararte.» Desde 2022 aqui en Twitter, y con especial fuerza en este 2025 donde nos regala su Nautilus todos los días, su faena se ha centrado en desenmascarar el relato oficial, denunciar la ingeniería social y reivindicar la lucidez como forma de resistencia. «La risa deshace el miedo, provoca que se tambaleen los cimientos del poder y libera a los presos del terror.» No rehúye ni el tercio de muerte: entra a matar con la palabra justa. Acusa a farmacéuticas, a gobiernos, a medios, y a quienes siguen el rebaño por inercia. Y si en la plaza hay censura, la señala con precisión quirúrgica. «La gente empieza a hablar abiertamente de invasión, de ingeniería climática, del robo de todos los políticos, del veneno de las farmacéuticas... Quizá esté siendo tan progresivo que no se haya notado, pero vaya cambio desde 2020. Ningún disidente se vuelve obediente. Sí al revés.» En sus crónicas, los poderosos son criminales, los ciudadanos despiertan, y el cambio ya está en marcha. Su muleta no busca el aplauso fácil: busca verdad. «Están pataleando inmersos en el barro, literal y figurado, de su miseria moral. A los que os acabáis de dar cuenta de que nos gobiernan criminales, a nivel mundial, y son todos, sólo deciros que eso es lo que muchos llevamos diciendo desde hace tanto.» Pero —¡ay!— como en toda buena corrida, llega el momento de cambiar de tercio. Y es entonces cuando estos dos toreros, que han dominado la plaza con arte y arrojo, se transfiguran en toros. Dejan el traje de luces y se desvisten en pelo negro de Miura: bravos, astifinos, impredecibles. Vaitovek se crece al castigo y embiste con la mirada fija en el burladero de lo correcto. Valera, encastado, mete los riñones con cada tuit y no deja un metro sin pisar en el redondel del pensamiento. Y aquí estoy yo, capote en mano, dispuesto a recibirlos a puerta gayola. Sí, porque en este Spaces, los lances serán míos. Aqui estoy plantado en el centro de este coso digital, dispuesto a templar sus embestidas, a sacarles pases por bajo, a dejarme rozar la taleguilla si hace falta, y a buscar, en cada frase, ese olé que nace del buen toreo. El respetable está listo. La plaza de X vibra. Que suene el clarín: empieza la entrevista. ………………………………………………………………………………………. He elegido esta estructura taurina para presentar el Spaces del día 22 a las 22 horas porque, más allá del arte del toreo, este encuentro es un pequeño homenaje al glorioso Dúo Sacapuntas, ese par de genios del humor que todos recordamos vestidos de toreros en el mítico Un, dos, tres. Y por supuesto porque se, Manuel, que tu eres un grandísimo aficionado. Porque sí, amigos, cuando uno ve a @Vaitovekisback y @mmvaleraes juntos en acción, no puede evitar pensar en aquel inolvidable “¡cómo estaba la plaza, abarrota!”, y su archifamoso 22, 22, 22. Aunque aquí en vez de chistes vienen derechazos dialécticos y naturales argumentativos. Así que prepárense, que el tendido digital se viene arriba… ¡y sin falta de subirse al carro de las mulillas que aqui no va a servir ninguno para hacer rabo de toro! ………………………………………………………………………………………. "Las mentes grandes discuten ideas; las mentes promedio discuten acontecimientos; las mentes pequeñas discuten sobre personas.” Eleanor Roosevelt ………………………………………………………………………………………. Bueno, ya sabéis que no creo en casualidades, así que hayamos coincidido los tres en un dia 22 a las 22 horas me indica una sincronización muy importante en nuestros caminos ya que este numero está cargado de una energía especial ligada a la construcción, el poder y el cumplimiento de metas. Ya sabéis que una de las cosas sobre las que hablo es la numerologia, lo hice en mi primer libro sobre Blasco Ibáñez, explicando un poco como en numerología están los números básicos que van del 1 hasta el 9 y luego números especiales que no se pueden reducir a una sola cifra, números llamados “maestros” como el 11, 22, 33. El número maestro 33 combina los poderes más competentes de expresión y realización (la del número 3) con el maestro y el tutor por excelencia, el 6. El rosario islámico tiene 33 cuentas. En la mitología hindú el 33 expresa perfección. Una de las cifras preferidas de todo masón que se precie y que desea lucir dentro de su estrella de seis puntas. Su verdadera esencia constituye la última etapa en la evolución espiritual, el Maestro de maestros. El 33 es el número maestro que en su perfección no se puede transformar en un 6. Tenemos un 6 infértil, un 6 egoista, un 6 que no es humano sino inhumano, del demonio del ego. Para el que no lo sepa este número representa la edad de la Maestría en la Iniciación de Jesús (su muerte, resurrección y ascensión), aparte de otros detalles esotéricos. El "33" simboliza el grado alto de consciencia espiritual por parte del ser humano”. Ese 33 representa plenamente a Blasco Ibáñez, en su maestría, en su autoidolatria, en su soberbia que lo impulsaba a ganar más y más dinero. Cuando hablamos de masones, y Blasco lo era, el 33 es el número de los maestros iniciados, el más alto grado dentro de la masonería. Y para ellos son muy importantes las columnas del templo. En la numerología caldea, cada letra del alfabeto porta un valor numérico que revela significados profundos y conexiones místicas. Las palabras Jachim y Boaz, nombres de las emblemáticas columnas del Templo de Salomón, encarnan un simbolismo poderoso ya que si sumamos el valor de cada una de sus letras nos dará el número 33, considerado un número maestro en diversas tradiciones espirituales como he dicho antes. Pero es que tenemos también el 11, ya que cada columna podría ser representada por un uno de forma individual. Curiosamente en la biblia, en Reyes 7 se describe la construcción del templo y termina hablando de ellas en el verso 22. Siendo estos los versos 21 y 22: «Estas columnas erigió en el pórtico del templo; y cuando hubo alzado la columna del lado derecho, le puso por nombre Jaquín, y alzando la columna del lado izquierdo, llamó su nombre Boaz. Y puso en las cabezas de las columnas tallado en forma de lirios, y así se acabó la obra de las columnas.» Jachim, que representa la fuerza, la estabilidad y el principio activo, y Boaz, que simboliza la sabiduría, la receptividad y el equilibrio, se alzan como guardianas del equilibrio cósmico en el umbral del templo. Que ambas palabras converjan en el valor 33 no es casualidad: este número, asociado con la maestría espiritual, la compasión y la elevación de la conciencia, refleja la unión armónica de lo divino y lo terrenal. Así, Jachim y Boaz no solo custodian la entrada al espacio sagrado, sino que invitan a quienes las contemplan a integrar la dualidad en un camino hacia la iluminación, resonando con la vibración de la perfección espiritual que encarnan el 11, el 22 y el 33. Pero vamos a dejarnos de zarandajas y descorrer de par en par el velo que guardan estas dos columnas. ¿Por dónde empezamos? ………………………………………………………………………………………. Del 11 y del 33 se ha hablado mucho, pero a menudo dejamos en segundo plano al segundo número maestro por excelencia: el 22. Este número no solo posee una vibración poderosa, sino que también está profundamente enraizado en múltiples tradiciones espirituales y sistemas esotéricos. El 22 guarda una conexión simbólica con los 22 Arcanos Mayores del Tarot, que representan el viaje del alma hacia la conciencia plena, así como con las 22 letras del alfabeto hebreo, fundamentales en la Cábala. Esta antigua tradición mística asocia el número con los 22 senderos que conectan los diez sefirot del Árbol de la Vida, canales por los que fluye la energía divina y que reflejan etapas del crecimiento espiritual y humano. En la Biblia, este número aparece implícitamente a través del simbolismo de las 22 letras hebreas, mientras que en el hinduismo, se relaciona con las 22 consonantes fundamentales del sánscrito, cada una portadora de resonancias sagradas utilizadas en mantras y rituales. Asimismo, en la cultura china y el feng shui, el 22 se considera un número auspicioso que representa doble bendición, éxito, y una profunda armonía entre el cielo y la tierra. Numerológicamente, el 22 es conocido como el "Maestro Constructor", ya que combina la intuición y sensibilidad del número 2 con la fuerza práctica y estructuradora del número 4 (2 + 2 = 4). El 2 es la pareja, la dualidad y el cuatro es la casa donde esta pareja criara a sus hijos. Esta dualidad le permite convertir sueños elevados en realidades tangibles, construyendo sobre cimientos sólidos. Es un número que conjuga la visión con la acción, la espiritualidad con la materia, lo abstracto con lo concreto. Quienes vibran con el 22 poseen un potencial excepcional para planificar, liderar y materializar proyectos de gran escala que tienen un impacto positivo y duradero en la sociedad. Son visionarios pragmáticos, dotados de una capacidad singular para traducir ideales en estructuras estables, ya sea en el ámbito social, político, artístico o espiritual. Sin embargo, esta energía también conlleva un reto: el peso de su propio potencial. La presión por alcanzar metas elevadas puede generar bloqueos, inseguridad o una tendencia al perfeccionismo paralizante. Por ello, el 22 exige madurez emocional, firmeza interior y una fuerte conexión con un propósito superior. Solo así puede desplegar toda su fuerza constructiva sin caer en la dispersión. En su expresión más elevada, el número 22 representa la sabiduría aplicada, el servicio desinteresado y la construcción de un legado que trasciende al individuo. Es un puente entre lo divino y lo humano, entre la idea y la forma. Un número reservado para aquellos llamados a dejar una huella profunda en el mundo, no solo con sus acciones, sino también con su visión de futuro. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Os voy a leer 22 axiomas alquímicos que dan mucho que pensar: 1.Nada resiste a la voluntad del hombre cuando conoce la verdad y quiere el bien. 2.Querer el mal es querer la muerte. Una voluntad perversa es el comienzo del suicidio. 3.Querer el bien con violencia es querer el mal; pues la violencia produce el desorden y el desorden el mal. 4.Se puede y se debe aceptar el mal como medio del bien; pero es necesario ni quererlo ni hacerlo, de otro modo se destruiría con una mano lo que se edificaba con la otra. La buena fe no justifica nunca los malos medios; ella los corrige cuando los sufre y los condena cuando los toma. 5.Para tener derecho de poseer siempre es necesario querer pacientemente y por largo tiempo. 6.Pasar su vida queriendo lo que es imposible de poseer siempre es abdicar la vida y aceptar la eternidad de la muerte. 7.Cuanto más la voluntad salta obstáculos más fuerte resulta. Por eso Cristo glorificó la pobreza y el dolor. 8.Cuando la voluntad se dedica al absurdo, queda reprobada por la eterna razón. 9.La voluntad del hombre justo es la voluntad de Dios mismo y es la ley de la Naturaleza. 10.Por la voluntad la inteligencia ve. Si la voluntad es sana, la vida es justa. Dios ha dicho: «Que la luz sea», y la luz es. La voluntad dice: «Que el mundo sea como yo quiero verlo», y la inteligencia lo ve como la voluntad ha querido. Es lo que significa la palabra “Así sea”, que confirma los actos de fe. 11.Cuando se forman fantasmas, se llena el mundo de vampiros; precisa alimentar esas puerilidades con pesadillas voluntarias en las que intervienen la sangre, la vida, la inteligencia y la razón sin saciarlas jamás. 12.Afirmar y querer lo que debe ser, es crear; afirmar y querer lo que no debe ser, es destruir. 13.La luz es un fuego eléctrico puesto por la naturaleza al servicio de la voluntad; ilumina a los que saben emplearla, quema a los que abusan de ella. 14.El imperio del mundo es el imperio de la luz. 15.Las grandes inteligencias cuya voluntad no se equilibra bien, se parecen a los cometas, que son soles abortados. 16.No hacer nada es tan funesto como hacer mal; pero es más cobarde. El más imperdonable de los pecados mortales es la inercia. 17.Sufrir es trabajar. Un gran dolor sufrido es un progreso realizado. Los que sufren mucho viven más que los que no sufren. 18.La muerte voluntaria por abnegación no es un suicidio; es la apoteosis de la voluntad. 19.El miedo es solo una pereza de la voluntad y por ello la opinión difama a los cobardes. 20.Llegad a no temer al león y el león os temerá. Decid al dolor: quiero que seas un placer y llegará a ser, no solo un placer, sino hasta más que un placer, una dicha. 21.Una cadena de hierro es más fácil de quebrar que una cadena de flores. 22.Antes de clasificar a un hombre como feliz o desgraciado, sabed que es lo que ha hecho con la dirección de su voluntad. ¿Sabéis quién escribió estos 22 principios? Pues nada más y nada menos que el ocultista francés Alphonse Louis Constant, más conocido como Eliphas Levi (1810-1875), sí, el del baphomet. Este escribió su famoso libro, en realidad son dos, Dogma y ritual de la Alta Magia y lo estructuró en 22 capítulos, paralelos a las cartas de Tarot, y que además de sus hechizos, talismanes, amuletos e invocaciones, contiene una serie de conocimientos arcanos y estas 22 proposiciones para mejorar como seres humanos. Me he leido entero dogma y muy poco el denominado ritual, aunque os digo que contienen mucha información respecto de la magia blanca y la magia negra, pactos con el demonio, nigromancia, y los peligros de introducirse en estos ámbitos sin los conocimientos adecuados. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Y como hago a veces, hoy nos vamos a despedir el programa con algunas citas, por supuesto de nuestros dos invitados. Empezamos con Váitovek y esta demoledora y potencialmente problemática cita sobre uno de los tabúes de nuestro tiempo, los judíos: «El judaísmo bíblico es supremacismo racista absoluto. Su deidad tiene como objetivo EXPRESO para su pueblo el saqueo, esclavización y exterminio final de todas las naciones, ie, de TODO EL MUNDO. Ergo es con mucho la ideología más criminal, execrable y deforme de la historia.» Le toca el turno a Manuel Valera, casi mi tocayo por parte de apellido, que lleva deleitándonos con su Nautilus desde 2015, que a modo de cuaderno de bitácora nos cuenta todos los días lo que siente un escritor de la mejor forma que sabe hacer, escribir: «La risa deshace el miedo, provoca que se tambaleen los cimientos del poder y libera a los presos del terror. Con cada carcajada se escucha el sonido de las cadenas que caen y el estruendo de los muros de las prisiones mentales, deshechos. Por eso al que manda le viene mal que la gente ría libremente.» No tengan miedo y cuiden de sus familias, esa es mi cita recurrente para despedir estos Spaces…hoy, además, les dejo con una de Carl Jung, psiquiatra y psicoanalista suizo, fundador de la psicología analítica, simplemente para hacerles pensar: «Ningún árbol puede crecer hasta el cielo a menos que sus raíces lleguen al infierno.» ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Mini-series Whiteness is Shape-ShiftingPt. 1: When Fascism Rebrands — Elon Musk and the Aesthetics of Whiteness In this episode, Maureen dives into the shape-shifting nature of whiteness—how it survives by mutating into rebellion, reason, and innovation. She takes us into the political spectacle surrounding Elon Musk's “America Party,” his tech-fueled propaganda, and the cultural silence that followed his Nazi salute on a presidential stage.Drawing on the work of W.E.B. Du Bois and Ruha Benjamin, Maureen traces how whiteness adapts—selling domination through calm logic, clean design, and “free speech.” What we're witnessing isn't an outlier. It's a blueprint. And without discernment, we risk becoming part of its performance.This episode is an invitation to slow down, notice what pulls our attention, and ask: Is this charisma—or alignment? Is this disruption—or repackaged dominance?We also draw from the film Sinners as a cultural mirror. In the film's world, vampires can't harm anyone unless they're invited in—a haunting metaphor for how whiteness operates. It doesn't demand domination outright. It seduces us into silence, performance, or comfort—and then feeds on our complicity. Discernment, in this sense, is our refusal to offer that invitation.In this episode we explore:Elon Musk's rebranding of white supremacist logicW.E.B. Du Bois' concept of the psychological wage of whitenessRuha Benjamin's framework of the New Jim CodeHow whiteness sells itself as progress—while reproducing harmWhy discernment is a critical skill in the age of performanceThis week's reflection:Where have I mistaken sleek language, tech-forward branding, or contrarian leadership for actual transformation?Where do I follow charisma over alignment—and how does that shape who I trust, hire, or elevate?What truths might be hiding underneath what looks “logical,” “objective,” or “neutral”?What's working, what's not—and for whom?This is not about shame—it's about sight. Discernment isn't suspicion.

In this episode, Maureen dives into the powerful practice of nonjudgment—not as a soft alternative to accountability, but as a path to clarity, discernment, and principled leadership. She unpacks how judgment (especially internalized) can cloud our ability to lead with integrity, and how nonjudgment offers a way to pause, inquire, and root critique in care.Through a close look at the recent New York City mayoral primary, we examine how progressive candidates modeled nonjudgment in action—setting aside ego, embracing strategic alignment, and practicing principled critique. Maureen also shares a personal reflection on the ways shame and judgment have shaped her own leadership journey, and how she's learning to notice, pause, and respond from clarity instead of control.This episode is an invitation to slow down, to breathe, and to ask: What's working? What's not? And for whom?In this episode we explore:The difference between judgment and discernmentHow nonjudgment strengthens—not weakens—accountabilityWhat NYC's progressive coalition teaches us about ego-less leadershipThe relationship between shame, projection, and leadershipPersonal cues Maureen uses to interrupt her own judgment loopsWho this episode is for:Educators navigating challenging classroom momentsParents struggling to let go of control without losing connectionOrganizational leaders learning to receive feedbackMovement organizers balancing urgency with inclusionAnyone trying to show up with more care, clarity, and integrityThis week´s reflection: Where in your life or leadership are you making someone—or something—“wrong,” and how is that shaping your choices or perceptions?Whose voices have you intentionally or unintentionally quieted—because of fear, fatigue, or urgency?What would it feel like to meet your own righteousness with curiosity, instead of doubling down on being “right”?This isn't about abandoning accountability. It's about anchoring it in care—and returning to clarity in the moments that matter most.For more resources or to join the community, visit: www.eyesonwhiteness.com www.cultivatingintersectionalleadership.comSupport the showThis episode was created with deep love, and deep thanks to the frameworks and tools within Cultivating Intersectional Leadership, a course I co-created with Diedra Barber.

In this episode of Eyes on Whiteness, we're exploring what it means to decenter power and privilege—especially in times of overwhelm, urgency, or fear.Maureen invites you into a vulnerable, provocative reflection on how systems like white supremacy and patriarchy teach us to equate control with care—and how that shaping shows up in everyday leadership roles: parenting, teaching, activism, art, nonprofit work, and more.Through honest storytelling and critical inquiry, this episode offers tangible ways to notice our defaults, practice grace instead of guilt, and choose connection over domination. Whether you're a teacher managing a classroom, an organizer building coalitions, a parent navigating your child's truth, or a leader holding responsibility in institutions—this episode is for you.We ask:What gets silenced when we stay in charge?How do our “shoulds” shape our reactions?What does it look like to transmute power—not perform it?This is not about getting it right. It's about returning to a practice rooted in courage, humility, and care.This Week's Reflection Questions:Where am I centering my own comfort or worldview—and how might that be limiting the truth I'm willing to hear?Whose voices or truths have I intentionally or unintentionally silenced—and what structures make that silencing easy to ignore?What would it look like to lead with deep listening and shared power—even when overwhelm tells me to default to control?Support the showThis episode was created with deep love, and deep thanks to the frameworks and tools within Cultivating Intersectional Leadership, a course I co-created with Diedra Barber.

Dr. Victor Santiago Pineda as the new Executive Director of CIL! With his extensive experience as a global advocate for disability rights and his innovative vision, Dr. Pineda is set to lead bThe center for Independent Living into an exhilarating new chapter of empowerment and inclusion.Victor Santiago Pineda was born in Caracas, Venezuela, At the age of two, Pineda was hospitalized with a high fever and for the next five years he demonstrated gradual weakening of his skeletal muscles. By age four, his weakened muscles caused him to fall repeatedly and by age seven, he stopped walking completely. His muscular deterioration would continue and eventually affect his breathing. By the time he was in high school, he needed to use a ventilator at night, and by the time he started his doctoral program in his late-twenties, he required a ventilator twenty-four hours per day.As a child, Pineda was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA-Type II), a form of muscular dystrophy. However, as an adult, he was examined by a neurophysiologist who, with the use of electromyography, determined that there was no evidence to suggest Spinal muscular atrophy. The specific cause of Pineda's muscle weakness was identified as collagenopathy VI, resulting from an extremely common genetic mutation.Pineda attended Corona Del Mar High School in Newport Beach, California, and was selected by his graduating class as a commencement speaker. Upon graduating in 1997, Pineda attended the California Youth Leadership Forum for Students with Disabilities (YLF). As a freshman at the University of California Berkeley, he received specialized support services provided by the Disabled Students Office (DSP) and participated in the Disabled Students Residence Program (DSRP).[citaWhile at UC Berkeley was elected senator for the ASUC student government, defended ethnic studies, with the leadership of Andrew Berk, hehelped resurrect the long dormant Disabled Students Union (DSU). During this time he established the Disability Media Initiative (DMI) and the Pineda Foundation to provide 21st century workforce skills to youth with disabilities. Pineda earned a B.A. in political economy, a B.S. in business administration and, eventually, a master's degree in city and regional planning (MCP) with a concentration in regional economic development. He then accepted an internship in Washington, D.C., where he served as a summer associate at the US Treasury's Department of International Affairs.IPineda was awarded the American Association of People with Disabilities Paul G. Hearne Award.Pineda's "It's About Ability" projectwas honored in Montenegro for the Best Humanitarian Action by UNICEF.Also in 2011, he received the prestigious Mark Bingham Award for Excellence in Achievement by a Young Alumnus/a, Cal Alumni Association for his work in education and human rights.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBAS
