The Bible shows us a picture of what he wants of the believer in the life of the Levitical priests. But like them, we must be careful not to fall into performance and religious pageantry. The truest reason men seek religion is to find God. The Bible shows us how to reach Him. We will look at that path to truly touch God in this Bible study.Please consider supporting the besieged people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.You can also get free Christian resources at https://lovewalk.substack.com

understanding God opens up the world and the spiritual realm to believers. When we live in the image of God that is when we accomplish purpose. Following God is not just being nice, it is embodying the God characteristics of the creator on a small scale to do big things on earth. Amen.Please consider supporting the besieged people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.You can find FREE Christian resources at https://lovewalk.substack.com

C'est l'un des épisodes les plus sombres – et les plus méconnus – de l'histoire coloniale moderne : entre 1879 et 1911, la Peruvian Amazon Company, une entreprise britannique opérant dans la région amazonienne du Pérou, a organisé un véritable système d'esclavage, de torture et d'extermination des populations autochtones. Son but : exploiter à tout prix le latex, l'or blanc de l'époque. À la tête de ce système, un homme : Julio César Arana, commerçant péruvien devenu magnat du caoutchouc… et bourreau impuni.Tout commence avec l'explosion mondiale de la demande de caoutchouc naturel, indispensable à la fabrication des pneus, des câbles et des machines industrielles. En Amazonie, la sève de l'hévéa devient une ressource stratégique. Arana fonde alors un empire sur les rives du fleuve Putumayo, aux confins du Pérou, de la Colombie et du Brésil. Mais cette jungle luxuriante est habitée : les peuples indigènes y vivent depuis des millénaires. Pour Arana, ces communautés ne sont pas des partenaires, mais de la main-d'œuvre gratuite.Les pratiques de la Peruvian Amazon Company sont d'une brutalité inimaginable. Des tribus entières sont réduites en esclavage, forcées à extraire le latex sous peine de mort. Les travailleurs sont attachés, fouettés, mutilés, parfois brûlés vifs ou décapités. Femmes et enfants sont violés, affamés, utilisés comme monnaie d'échange ou tués pour l'exemple. Selon les rapports de l'époque, 90 % des esclaves meurent au cours de leur "emploi".Mais l'histoire ne reste pas entièrement cachée. Dès 1909, des lanceurs d'alerte, comme Roger Casement, diplomate britannique, révèlent l'horreur dans des rapports accablants. Un ancien employé de la compagnie, Walter Hardenburg, publie aussi un témoignage détaillé dans la presse anglaise. L'affaire provoque un scandale international. Le Parlement britannique diligente une enquête ; la presse parle d'un "Congo péruvien", en référence aux atrocités du roi Léopold II au Congo belge.Et pourtant… Julio César Arana ne sera jamais puni. Au contraire : il obtient la nationalité britannique, se fait élire sénateur au Pérou, et meurt en homme libre, honoré par une partie de l'élite locale. Aucun procès, aucune réparation, aucun monument pour les victimes. Le Putumayo, théâtre de ce génocide, retombe dans l'oubli.Ce silence, longtemps maintenu, commence à se fissurer. Des historiens, des associations indigènes et des documentaires ravivent aujourd'hui cette mémoire effacée. Car comprendre pourquoi ce crime est resté impuni, c'est aussi interroger les liens entre pouvoir économique, silence diplomatique et impunité coloniale. Une leçon d'histoire… et de justice différée.

En 1901, le fondateur de la Croix-Rouge, Henry Dunant, reçoit le premier prix Nobel de la paix. Sa mission se poursuit aujourd'hui. À Genève, le Bureau de l'Agence centrale de recherches du CICR pour le conflit entre la Russie et l'Ukraine (C-TAB) a pour mandat de centraliser les informations sur les prisonniers de guerre. Depuis 2022, près de 120 000 dossiers ont été ouverts. Le CICR joue également un rôle d'intermédiaire neutre dans des conflits comme en République démocratique du Congo, peu avant le récent accord de paix.

Quand on pense aux conflits armés, on imagine souvent des guerres entre États. Pourtant, les guerres les plus fréquentes depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale sont des guerres civiles. Elles traversent l'histoire contemporaine, de l'Afghanistan au Mali, de la Syrie au Rwanda, de la République démocratique du Congo aux Balkans, sans oublier la question Kurde. Et pourtant, nous en savons finalement assez peu de choses. Elles sont souvent perçues comme des violences chaotiques, irrationnelles, ou comme des effondrements d'État, alors qu'elles obéissent à des logiques politiques, sociales et économiques précises. Qu'elles sont pratiquement un phénomène universel sur le temps long. Et que la quasi-totalité des sociétés a connu un épisode de guerre civile, provoquant la mort de dizaines de millions de personnes ainsi que l'exil ou le déplacement de centaines de millions d'autres. Enfin, loin d'être une affaire uniquement interne à un pays, les guerres civiles ne peuvent se comprendre sans prendre en compte les acteurs internationaux.  Gilles Dorronsoro est notre invité, professeur de science politique à l'Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et membre de l'Institut universitaire de France.

Oud-diplomaat Axel Buyse duidt hoe Gaza, Iran en Congo illustreren dat machtspolitiek altijd draait om belangen en overleven. In deze eerste aflevering van het nieuwe seizoen gaat Buyse met gastheer Harry De Paepe dieper in op de brandhaarden die vandaag de internationale agenda bepalen. Van Trump die hunkert naar de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede tot de uitzichtloze tragedie in Gaza, van de machtsverschuiving in de Kaukasus tot de corruptie in Congo: achter de retoriek en emotie schuilt steeds een spel van prestige, economische belangen en geopolitiek. Wereldblik kijkt verder dan de slogans en biedt nuchtere inzichten die helpen begrijpen waarom de wereld draait zoals ze draait.Support the show

Pope Francis and thousands of visitors and pilgrims at his general audience prayed for the victims of the earthquakes that devastated the region along the border of Turkey and Syria. Bishop David Malloy, International Justice and Peace Chairman, called for prayer and financial aid for the victims and relief workers. The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and the International Union of Superiors General designated February 8 as an annual day of prayer and awareness against human trafficking. February 8 is the feast day of St. Josephine Bakhita, patron saint of victims of modern slavery and human trafficking. Pope Francis recently concluded his historic visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan. He prayed with South Sudan's Christians for peace and spoke about the important role of women in peacebuilding.

Aujourd'hui, nous allons parler des forêts tropicales. Comme leur nom l'indique, elles sont situées de part et d'autre de l'Équateur, entre le Tropique du Cancer et le Tropique du Capricorne. Réparties entre l'Amazonie, le bassin du Congo et l'Asie du Sud-Est, elles représentent près de la moitié des forêts mondiales. (Rediffusion du 10 octobre 2024) Sèches ou humides en fonction du climat et du sol, elles ont comme point commun de ne connaître que rarement des températures inférieures à 20 degrés et de recevoir du fait de leur situation géographique une forte intensité lumineuse. Voilà pourquoi elles abritent une incroyable biodiversité : près de la moitié des espèces végétales et animales connues y vivent. 700 millions d'humains aussi y habitent et en dépendent. Alors est-ce possible de conserver et d'exploiter les forêts tropicales en même temps ?

Anne Marie Anderson is a three-time Emmy winner with 36 years in sports television, including a decade as a producer at ESPN working with elite athletes and executives. She's the author of "Cultivating Audacity: Dismantle Doubt and Let Yourself Win" and has navigated multiple career pivots throughout her professional life.  In this episode, Anne Marie reveals that audacity isn't reserved for the naturally fearless but can be developed as a learnable skill. Anne Marie explains that true audacity requires getting comfortable with failure, surviving it, and trying again. She identifies four barriers that stop leaders: fear, time, money, and that inner critic. Elite performers don't silence their inner critic but examine its messages with neutral curiosity. Anne Marie teaches her catastrophize your life technique for evaluating risks by imagining the worst possible outcomes. This helps distinguish between legitimate concerns and irrational fears that paralyze decision-making. She emphasizes that the cost of inaction is always higher than the price of failure. Anne Marie introduces the concept of your front row, the people who challenge you and tell you the truth. She advocates for shape shifting leadership and shares how vulnerability became key to her transformation. If you're ready to stop letting fear control your biggest decisions, this episode is essential listening. You can find episode 474 wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube |   Key Takeaways [02:42] Anne Marie reveals what's not publicly known about her: she did adventure travel before kids, rafting dangerous rivers, climbing to Everest base camp, and trekking gorillas in the Congo. [03:39] She explains that audacity requires practice with failing and getting comfortable with failure because "if you're not failing, you're really not pushing yourself to be audacious." [04:32] Anne Marie advises understanding why you want to make a change first, then evaluating what you're willing to risk to get there. [06:18] She identifies that elite athletes control their inner critic by recognizing it and examining messages with neutral curiosity rather than trying to silence it. Anne Marie defines audacity as "optimism that you're going to survive no matter how they work out." [08:26] Anne Marie intentionally shares her failures with her children, showing them rejections she gets to normalize failure as information. [11:36] She shares what to do differently to confront the fear and recommends catastrophizing situations to their ridiculous extreme. [17:06] She explains that your "front row" should be people who challenge and push you, not necessarily your best friends who want to keep you safe. [22:48] Anne Marie describes leaders as "shape shifters" who tailor their approach to each person's individual motivation and needs. [26:00] She distinguishes that urgent tasks are usually responses to others' requests while important tasks move you closer to your values and goals. [28:17] Anne Marie shares how her relationship with vulnerability has changed through the series of transformations she had in her lifetime and career.  [31:03] She describes actively seeking rejection to desensitize herself, advising people to "fail first, go fail a lot." [32:54] Anne Marie's closing advice is for leaders to share their vulnerabilities and be "shape shifting leaders" who find the best in everyone. [34:16] And remember...“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” - Dale Carnegie   Quotable Quotes "It requires practice, and it requires practice with failing and getting comfortable failing." "If you're not failing, you're really not pushing yourself to be audacious." "Audacity at the base, right, is about optimism. And it's not optimism that things are going to work out the way you want it to. It's optimism that you're going to survive no matter how they work out." "If the price is too high to do the work, to create the change, then wait till you get the bill for regret, because that is super steep." "I would far rather have a list of failures than have a list of regrets." "You're going to get information as to how to take your next step. If you don't take that first step, how do you know where to go?" "Elite performers on that last one, inner critic, have great control of their inner critic power. They don't silence it. You can't silence your inner critic, but you can recognize it for what it is." "Your front row needs to be those people who will challenge you, who will push you, who will tell you the truth." "A great leader is somebody who's going to be able to say, obviously, I have all of these incredibly urgent matters. I'm carving out specific times to work toward our goals, our future." "Things that are urgent are usually in response to a request... Things that are important move us closer to our values, vision, goals, who we want to be." "I tell people, fail first, go fail a lot. Whatever the thing is you're most afraid of, do that one first. When you start actively seeking it out, it becomes easier." "To really understand human behavior, I think you have to understand what people fear."   These are the books mentioned in this episode   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this multi part series. This is Part - 3. Che in Mexico, His Marriage, Friendship with Fidel Castro, Guerilla War training, on board with the team for Cuba Liberation - topics are covered in this episode.

Mratibu Maalum wa Kuboresha Hatua za Umoja wa Mataifa dhidi ya Unyanyasaji wa kingono (SEA) Christian Saunders amefanya ziara nchini Tanzania kuona maandalizi ya vikosi vya operesheni za ulinzi wa amani katika maeneo mbalimbali duniani. Kutoka Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Kapteni Mwijage Inyoma Afisa Habari wa Chuo cha Mafunzo ya Ulinzi wa Amani cha Tanzania (TPTC) ametuandalia taarifa hii.Ni bendi ya jeshi la Wananchi wa Tanzania, JWTZ ikiongoza askari wengine kumkaribisha Bwana Christian Saunders hapa katika Chuo cha Mafunzo ya Ulinzi wa Amani cha Tanzania (TPTC) Kunduchi, Dar es Salaam.Miongoni mwa askari hawa tayari wameandaliwa kwenda katika nchi mbalimbali katika ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki na kati na hata nje ili kuusaidia Umoja wa Mataifa kutekeleza moja ya majukumu yake kwa ulimwengu, kuleta na kuitunza amani.Bwana Saunders anasema, “wacha nianze kwa kusema asante. Kusema asante ni jambo muhimu sana, kwa sababu mko tayari kuanza jukumu la kutumwa, iwe mnaenda Lebanon au Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo au kwingineko. Mkiwa mbali na familia zenu, mbali na nchi yenu, katika mazingira yenye changamoto, na wakati mwingine katika hali hatarishi.”Anawapa moyo zaidi askari lakini akiwakumbusha kuwa wao ni kioo cha ulimwengu wazingatie maadili“Na tunathamini sana kujitolea kwenu. Tunathamini sana kwamba mnaenda kuwasaidia ndugu zenu katika nchi nyingine, iwe ni nchi jirani au sehemu iliyo mbali. Mnapokwenda, mnaliwakilisha dunia. Mnawakilisha watu wa dunia.”Mkuu wa Chuo cha Mafunzo ya Ulinzi wa Amani cha Tanzania (TPTC), Brigedia Jenerali George Itang'are akamthibitishia mgeni kwamba askari hawa wameiva na hakuna kisingizio chochote cha kutozingatia maadili huko wameandako, kisha akawahoji, Nao wanajibu, “twende pamoja, turudi pamoja.” 

Kwa zaidi ya muongo mmoja, eneo la Nyiragongo lililoko jimboni Kivu Kaskazini nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, (DRC) limekumbwa na hali ya kutokuwepo kwa utulivu wa kudumu kutokana na uwepo wa makundi yenye silaha. Maelfu ya familia wamekimbia makazi yao na watoto wengi kulazimishwa kujiunga na makundi hayo ya kijeshi. Kati ya mwaka 2024 na 2025, kuzuka upya kwa mapigano kunakohusishwa na kuibuka tena kwa waasi wa M23 kumeongeza zaidi hali ya hatari kwa wakazi wa eneo hilo, hasa watoto na vijana. Ili kuleta ahueni kwa wakazi, Umoja wa Mataifa umechukua hatua. Je ni zipi hizo? Ungana basi na Anold Kayanda kwenye makala hii.

Au Congo-Brazzaville, le secteur du bois pèse moins de 6% dans le produit intérieur brut du pays, très loin derrière le pétrole. Les autorités de Brazzaville espèrent valoriser l'économie forestière par la transformation locale. De leur côté, les ONG demandent que le secteur devienne plus transparent. Acteur de la société civile, membre de la coalition Publiez ce que vous payez, Brice Mackosso surveille l'évolution de l'activité forestière en République du Congo. Selon lui les autorités de Brazzaville devraient renforcer la transparence du secteur du bois : « Il serait intéressant, par exemple, que le ministère de l'Économie forestière divulgue les critères techniques et financiers pour l'attribution des concessions forestières. Qu'il divulgue aussi les propriétaires réels des concessions forestières. Nous avons prévu aussi, dans notre secteur forestier, la mise en œuvre des cahiers des charges dont les communautés riveraines sont bénéficiaires. Il faudrait que le ministère travaille pour que ces cahiers des charges soient exécutés par les entreprises. » 300 essences exploitables La priorité du gouvernement est que les entreprises valorisent davantage le potentiel ligneux du pays. « [Il est] constitué de plus de 300 essences exploitables, capables de fournir annuellement 8,7 millions de m², souligne la ministre de l'Économie forestière Rosalie Matondo. Cependant, à ce jour, seuls 1,7 million de m² sont valorisés par nos sociétés forestières et nos artisans. Le travail qui nous attend est immense. » Transformation locale Analyste économique et financier, Alphonse Ndongo estime lui aussi que la place du bois pourrait grandir dans l'économie congolaise, qui reste une économie de rente : « Lorsqu'on regarde le tableau économique du Congo, le bois représente 5,6% du produit intérieur brut. Ce qui est quand même, à mon avis, assez faible, au regard de ce que ce secteur devrait occuper comme place de choix après le pétrole. C'est quelque chose qui doit contribuer, surtout dans le cadre de la diversification de l'économie. Ça devrait être, pour moi, plus important que ça. » Pour mieux valoriser le bois localement et créer des emplois, les autorités de Brazzaville ont décidé, début 2023, de ne plus exporter de bois en grumes. Pour l'heure, l'entreprise Likouala Timber affirme qu'elle transforme toute sa production localement, à savoir 150 000 m² l'an dernier sur son site de Bétou, dans le nord du Congo.

Ian writes "The story I'm sitting down to tell, is a true one. One experienced by a faithful friend of mine, Sam, and I. I'm often reluctant to tell this story at length to most people, as the subject matter is unexplainable and rather strange. I don't want to be viewed as the superstitious nut. But having guided all across the country, and having extensive experience in many environments around the united states, I feel I have the authority to tell this story. Essentially what I'm saying is I've been around, in the deep dark hollows all across North America, and never experienced something so strange as I did that night. I don't fancify my experiences in the woods, nor do I hopefully imagine there's something more to a twig breaking. As anyone who has spent a good deal of time in the woods knows, there's no reason to. Eventually you'll experience something daring or fantastic. I am a hunter first and foremost, and to a hunter there's always an explanation, a reason to the wilderness and her inhabitants. Its how we identify patterns and exploit an animals rhythm to make a successful hunt. As a hunter you're a sort of woodsman detective, piecing together clues to set yourself up for success. Lets just say this tale is a cold-case. Let's get into it. It was early summer and I was itching to go camping. I had recently received a new tent and was eager to use it. I called up my good buddy, Sam, and we planned out our camping adventure. We considered going up to the Grayson highlands, or even south into North Carolina. After debating it, we decided it would be more fun to camp somewhere we wouldn't run into any other people. Deep in the woods, far from anyone else, where we could bushcraft, hoot and holler, and bring a gun without fear of scaring the yuppies camping next to us. While we both lived in the woods, I definitely had access to the most remote stretch of woods between us. So we loaded up our stuff and began hiking, deep into the valley below my childhood home. The hike was almost completely straight down a steep hillside, deep into a a hollow that held a small patch of flat land, a flood plane area and creek. The small creek that ran gave the area a beautiful ambiance. Early signs of summer were visible all around and the weather was great. We hiked until we felt the need to start gathering firewood before nightfall. Behind us a was a steep hillside that rose into the west for miles. In front of us was the creek, and to the left the start of another ridge and hillside that rose high into the east and north. To our right, the valley we were in, continued to go down cutting a deep valley. and on the other side of the creek another ridge, separated by a small stream from the ridge to the left, rose into the west and to the south. These two ridges in front of us ran for miles and the little valley formed by the small creek split these ridges for a long ways up until it hit the spring head. This is important for later in the story. Off to the right, further down the valley, more splits in the ridges are made by little tributaries. We started building camp by clearing the brush and leaves away and constructing a small firepit. I placed a tarp on the ground to separate my tent from the damp earth. Remember this, the tarp extended out roughly a foot on each side of my tent. Sam had a hammock that he planned to sleep in, I've only ever camped in a hammock once, and it didn't go great. But I didn't say anything to him, thinking that maybe he would enjoy it. We gathered a hefty load of firewood, consisting of some reasonably dry stuff. It was shaping up to be a really nice camping trip. I've spoken about the joy of being “out there” on this blog before, so I won't beat a dead horse, but it was really nice to be away from people. Sam and I sat around the fire and shot the shit until the sun went down. Now one of the things Sam and I have always bonded on, has been Bigfoot shows. We're both skeptics, and I would say we hold a similar or the same opinion on the subject. Our interest is less about believing in bigfoot, but rather we just find the subject matter to be nostalgic, silly, and a fun thing to joke about. So, I brought up the idea to Sam, that we begin to “Hunt” Bigfoot. He laughed and thought it was a great idea. So we began doing the antics they do in the “Finding Bigfoot” TV show. We started with the classic, Tree knocks. A “Tree Knock” for those unaware, is when you use a stick to beat on a tree, making a loud knocking sound that echoes through the forest. Supposedly sasquatch communicate this way. We didn't think anything of it at all, as I said before, we didn't really believe, we were just joking around. So we began by knocking on the trees and then stopping and listening for a response. After a few times of doing this we paused, and hearing nothing I began to think of a joke to crack and something else to do. Before I could open my mouth, we heard clear as day, a tree nock far off somewhere on the ridge to the left. I looked at Sam and said, “Dude.” Sam just looked back at me in surprise. I then did some more knocks, and we listened again. Then off in the distance, we heard more knocks in response. Then the other ridge to the right we began hearing knocks. Sam at this point was beginning to get freaked out a little and was perplexed as to what it could be. I at the time, was such a hard skeptic I carried on and insisted that it was a person or a woodpecker. “but who in the world would be out there? deeper in the woods than we are, on private land? What woodpecker makes three loud booming knocks on the tree, that sound exactly like the knocks we make?” Sam voiced his rebuttal. I ignored these arguments and held strong to the fact that there is no Bigfoot. I then insisted that we push the envelope by doing woops and howls, just like they do on TV. Sam was not very enthused by this idea, being the humbler and smarter one of us that night, knowing sometimes there's certain things you don't mess with. But at that time I was full of piss and vinegar, and stubborn as a mule about the fact that Bigfoot, is not real. I also had brought a gun with me, and was certain I could fight off anything we would need to fight off. So we started howling into the woods. It was dark that night, being a new moon, and beyond the firelight you couldn't see a damn thing. We would howl and wait listening for a reply. After a few howls, the excitement of “What was that?” started to fade and my logical, rational, science based, theory of the woodpecker began to appear true. Then, out of the dark distance came one of the strangest sounds I've ever heard. A howl. Not a canine howl, not an owls hoot, but a fucking ape howl. Sam's eyes were as big as back hoe tires, and even I was finding it hard to reason that one. Despite this, I continued my ignorant stubbornness, and threw out another howl. Off to the left ridge it replied to us again, the clearest ape whoop I've ever heard. As if it were recorded by researchers in the Congo. I looked at Sam, myself feeling more curious and excited than anything else, I reiterated, “Duuuude.” Then something truly unexplainable and spooky happened, more whoops and howls began on the ridge to the right and further down the valley. And they weren't random, they had etiquette, as if they were chatting back and forth with each other. The one to the left would howl, the one to the right would whoop and howl, the first would respond, and then the one way down the valley would chime in. Sam was really freaked out now, and began considering if we should leave. I, being a stubborn idiot, claimed it was owls. “Owls?? We were both raised in these hollers, I've heard owls, you're gonna tell me that was an owl? Have you ever in your life heard an owl that sounded like a fucking ape?” Sam argued against my claim. “Well, no, but there's no way bigfoot is real. It has to be a bunch of owls speaking to each other. There's nothing else it could be.” I replied, half laughing in astonishment and disbelief of what was unfolding that night. Sam and I kind of bickered for a minute over it, and then decided the wisest decision was to stop antagonizing whatever it was in the woods miles around us whooping and knocking. It wasn't too long after that, we decided to go to bed. I crawled into my tent, and Sam into his hammock. We left the fire going, and every time the fire died down, the woods came to life. Whether it was paranoia, or paranormal, something was stirring. All around camp we could hear what sounded like things being thrown and footsteps. From time to time we would hear another knock or another howl coming from a new position. Sam would leap out of his hammock and chuck loads of wood onto the fire and make it as big as possible. He would then lay back down to sleep. This repeated about three more times. Each time the fire died, things got spookier and spookier. A few times Sam would say, “Did you hear that?” and every time I would just blame it on possums nearing camp, hoping to find food scraps. Well, about the third time, Sam ran out of firewood. Meaning that this time when the fire died, it died for good, leaving us to the dark void of the Appalachian holler. I vividly remember I had fallen asleep before the fire died, and after it died, there was so much stirring around camp, I began to wake up. I was slowly waking up, thinking I was having some sort of nightmare, when I finally fully sobered, and realized that my dream was pleasant. It was reality that was full of frightening sounds and things that go bump in the night. The woods around us had become loud with unexplainable movement, the movement of multiple large things. The whooping and knocking had stopped, which did not comfort me, with all the new sounds right outside my door. There was maybe a 30 yard perimeter around camp that the sounds did not cross. Then suddenly, an extremely loud crashing began through the twigs, leaves, and branches. It was something large, running full sprint through the woods. Starting maybe 50 yards away, and running straight towards our camp. It grew louder and louder, until the sound of crushing leaves, turned to crinkling tarp. The creature, was standing on the tarp my tent was situated on. I was frozen. Like a child, Frozen in fear, eyes wide open. My heart was pounding out of my chest so hard I thought it would explode. I Then heard high above my tent, not near the ground, not four feet up, but high above my tent, the most terrifying sound I've ever heard. it was the sound of a huff and blow, exactly the way you hear a gorilla do it on TV. Or how the apes in planet of the apes do it. Three forceful huff and blows, then the creature turned around and ran back the way it came, back into the darkness of the night. Sam practically leaped out of his hammock and said, “You had to have heard that!” I replied with, “Yeah lets get the fuck out of here.” I slid a round into the chamber of my 30-30 and crawled out of the tent. We both got busy grabbing only our essentials, and started out of the woods. Using shitty dim flashlights, we made our way up the hill. Frantically looking behind us into the terrible night, and trying to move fast without running. We hiked a long ways and by the time we made it back to the house it was far past midnight. We never did see what it was that charged us, and we never did hear anything else after that. But whatever it was, scared us enough to make us hike out in the dead of night and leave all of our gear there. We returned the next morning in full daylight to gather our things. Looking back, I wish we had surveyed the area for tracks or some clue as to what it was, but at the time we did not want to be down there for any longer than we had to. Having been some years since this happened, I would go down there in a heart beat and not think a thing of it. When I come home, I usually feel a sense of ease in the woods. It feels like a weight is lifted off of your shoulders knowing there are no cougars or grizzly bears to worry about. For my western outdoorsy folk, familiar with cougar country, reading this and thinking, “I don't feel a weight in the woods.” my reply, would be the question, have you noticed you've been stalked before? Cougars are some of the sneakiest creatures in the animal kingdom, and just because you've never noticed it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I myself have been stalked, I've written about it here previously. It's a feeling that will stick with you, and definitely put you on edge in cougar country for a long time after. I have a colleague who guides western big game in New Mexico, who told me a story once that during a hunt he had a fellow guide spotting for him, and that guide watched a cougar stalk my friend through a grove of trees before giving up. My friend never had the slightest idea he was being stalked. I believe for an avid outdoorsman in cougar country, it is inevitable. And as far as grizzly country, it's a similar feeling but a little different. Most ill bear encounters happen because you surprise the bear in thick woods. I have many friends from my time in Alaska who would share stories of being charged by monster grizzlies from out of no-where. They're just hiking along, and then BOOM! 800 pounds of death is blasting straight towards them. And the consensus is the same amongst them, if you spend enough time out there, it will happen eventually. I luckily was never charged during my time in Alaska, I avoided known bear hang-outs. But the few times I spent time in bear country, I always had this jack in the box anxiety, just waiting for it to happen. What is funny though, is despite that weight being lifted initially, an old feeling always returns. I know it's not some sort of psychological thing having to do with that patch of woods specifically, because I feel it in most places in Appalachia. It's a feeling of being watched, a feeling that something is there, and a feeling of dread. And it amplifies every time you hear some strange crashing in the woods or a sound you cannot explain. Most of the times I've experienced this, I've had a gun. And I think to myself, “Come on man! You're the most badass thing out here.” Yet I can never shake that anxiety. My brother, without having ever heard this story, reluctantly asked me over the phone one day, “don't think I'm crazy but, have you ever felt creeped out in the woods below the house? I don't know what it is, but every time I go down there I feel like I'm being watched, and I get filled with dread.” Hearing him say that sent shivers down my back. Simply because I always dismissed this feeling, I've swept this story under the rug for years, telling myself it was just a bear etc. To hear my brother, who is a marine, tell me that, certified to me that I was not simply being a pussy. I've only ever felt this in two regions of the country. Appalachia, and the Redwood Forests of Northern California. Now some of you may be reading this thinking that I am a nut-job Bigfoot believer. I've been reluctant to share this story for that reason. But I want to end this, saying, I have no idea what it was that made those calls that night. I also have no idea what it was that busted into our camp. We never did lay our eyes on anything. But I want to re-iterate that the story, is true. Verbatim to how it happened as I can recall it, without any embellishment. I have no idea what it was, and you can make your own decision as to what you think it was. But being an experienced woodsman, never have I ever experienced something like that since, and I have no worldly explanation for it. Those were the events that transpired that night, and I'll let you make of that what you will.”   Here is a link to Ian's blog    

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this multi part series. This is Part - 2. Motorcycle Diaries and Coup in Guatemala are covered in this episode.

As of June, 70% of the people that ICE has arrested had no criminal history, just like Ward,” and adds that ICE took extra steps to make sure the attempts at deporting Sakeik would go unimpeded.In one attempt, ICE tried to deport Sakeik in the middle of the night to the border of Israel, of all places. They got as far as bringing her to the tarmac before calling it off as a result of Israel's bombing of Iran. “Why do you put somebody on a Boeing in the middle of the night? That's because their family's likely not awake, their lawyers likely not around, and the courts are not there to give you emergency relief. So all that is happening by design,” says Kari.Paid subscribers can watch the full interview above to hear Sakeik detail the conditions she was detained under, how some ICE officials told her she shouldn't have been detained in the first place, and whether she could be detained yet again.Free subscribers can watch a 4-minute preview.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum would be remiss not to address the crackdown happening in our nation’s capital. The residents of Washington D.C., a city with more than 40% Black residents, are under siege. We hav reports from the ground of federal agents rolling out in overwhelming force and literally showing up on folks’ doorsteps. Trump’s stated goal is to crack down on “crime,” homelessness, and teenagers. Our hosts watch some clips and discuss, featuring friends of the show, Ty Hobson-Powell and Elizabeth Booker Houston. Then an update on the redistricting wars with Rep. Veasey (TX-33), Rep. Cleaver (MO-5), and State Rep Jones (TX-147). Texas Governor Abbot has said he will end the special session he called to redraw Texas’ electoral maps, which Texas Democrats fled the state to protest. What happens next? Will the Texas Dems be apprehended by the FBI? Do they have a path to victory in Texas or is the strategy mutually assured destruction (looking at you California)? We get the facts from the source. Did you know that the Democratic Republic of the Congo supplies much of the world’s cobalt, a vital mineral that helps power your smart phone? While this critical resource should be making the country fabulously wealthy, it has instead been a major driver of violence and exploitation. As promised, Tiffany Cross delivers a report on the DRC after her recent trip there. TAKE OUR SURVEY, WIN A PRIZE!

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, NY AG Letitia James has been subpoenaed by the Justice Department as part of a grand jury investigation by the Albany US Attorney's Office, focusing on her $454 million civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump. This is fantastic; she's been politicizing her office for a long time. Jack Smith, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton along with Smith are all being looked at. This is equal justice, not retribution. Also, historian Andrew Roberts discusses how Winston Churchill, long criticized by the left, is now also a target of disdain from the far-right podcasters, ‘influencers' and their guests, challenging the established narrative that the U.S. and U.K. were morally justified in defeating the Third Reich. Later, Trump brokered a historic peace deal between Azerbaijan and Armenia, who have been at war for 35 years. The President also facilitated ceasefires between Congo and Rwanda, Cambodia and Thailand, and India and Pakistan. Efforts are underway to negotiate a Russia-Ukraine deal, with a meeting planned, though concerns remain about Putin's reliability, given his history of breaking agreements. Afterward, On Power explains that John Adams warned that democracies can become tyrannical without just laws, representation, divided powers, private property rights, and a virtuous populace. Liberty, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, includes unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thomas Jefferson defined liberty as unobstructed action within the bounds of others' equal rights, emphasizing just laws to maintain order, though noting governments naturally encroach on liberty over time. Influenced by Locke, Jefferson saw law as a tool to promote freedom. Finally, Rep Bryon Donalds calls in to explains that he reintroduced the DC CRIMES Act to assert congressional control over Washington, D.C.'s sentencing policies, prohibiting local officials from altering sentencing laws and limiting leniency for young offenders.  Law and order needs to be restored. He also explains that if NYC elects Zohran Mamdani if would be worse than Bill de Blasio. Mamdani is good on TikTok but he's an economic illiterate. Learn more about your ad choices.
