Ignite your fire, warriors—@intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove, the unyielding truth engines of the digital frontier, unleash Season 7, Episode 203, “Canada Trade Flop, Trump Law Enforcement Round Table; JFK Assassination,” airing October 24, 2025, at 12:05 PM Eastern, where they eviscerate the establishment's spin on Trump's bold termination of Canada trade talks after Ontario's sly anti-tariff ad twisted Reagan's words to meddle in U.S. courts, a move that's got PM Carney scrambling toward China deals and exposing how foreign games threaten American workers and national security. They'll break down the electrifying White House roundtable from yesterday, where Trump rallied DHS Sec. Kristi Noem, FBI Dir. Kash Patel, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and the task force crew to celebrate cartel-busting ops, fentanyl seizures, and human trafficking takedowns—proving law and order is roaring back with zero tolerance for border chaos or Antifa agitators funded by shadowy hands. And in a bombshell pivot, they'll sift through the freshly declassified 2025 JFK files flooding out via Trump's EO 14176, revealing CIA covert ops in Cuba and Mexico but no smoking gun on Oswald—yet raising razor-sharp questions about Cold War intel gaps and why the deep state dragged its feet on transparency for decades, arming patriots to demand the full unredacted truth. With live intel flashes and community pulse checks, this is your frontline against MSM fairy tales. The truth is learned, never told—the Constitution is your weapon.

Graphic novelist Ben Passmore joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new graphic novel Black Arms To Hold You Up: A History of Black Resistance. Passmore explains the mix of personal reflection and historical storytelling in the book which follows the main character, a version of himself, time-traveling through a century of the Black radical tradition. Passmore talks about imagining a fictional self visiting Black historical figures and spotlights Assata Shakur, a well known member of the Black Liberation Army, who passed away last month. Passmore reflects on Shakur's life and considers how her story highlights the broader struggles and resilience of Black activists whose work is marginalized in mainstream histories. He emphasizes that the book focuses on less prominent figures within the Black radical tradition, providing a corrective to previous whitewashed narratives. He talks about activists and thinkers interested in goals ranging from liberation to reform, as well as community-based forms of resistance and education. Passmore reads from Black Arms To Hold You Up.

B. F. Skinner thought pigeons were so smart they could be used to guide missiles during World War II. He proposed a system in which pigeons would essentially pilot a missile. Skinner said pigeons could be trained to peck at a screen to adjust the trajectory of the missile toward its target. Project Pigeon was funded but never used. In 2013, New York conceptual artist Duke Reilly trained half his flock of pigeons to carry contraband cigars from Cuba to Florida and the other half to carry tiny video cameras documenting the smuggling flight of their comrades. Another group of researchers trained pigeons to reliably distinguish between the paintings of Picasso and Monet, even if they had never seen a particular painting before. This hour, everything you ever wanted to know about pigeons but were afraid to ask.

We are truly honoured to host legendary music icon, Gloria Estefan this week. Fresh into London from Miami, Gloria joined us for lunch which we really wish could have lasted all day and night. We found out about her family escaping Cuba during the revolution, her legendary Cosmo recipe, working with her beloved husband Emilio, owning a hotel & restaurant in Miami and we discover what it is like performing to five US presidents (and who served the best food). I grew up listening to her music and was completely enthralled by everything she had to say. We could do this with Gloria every day and never get bored, she's a superstar and the absolute perfect dinner party guest with endless fabulous stories! Mark my words Gloria, we will come and see you in Miami soon, thank you for popping round to Clapham. Gloria's new album Raíces is out now. Hosted on Acast.

Earlier this month, Tesla unveiled cheaper versions of some of its most popular cars. Other automakers are also promising to discount EVs or roll out more affordable models. This all comes following the end of federal tax credits that knocked as much as $7,500 off the price of a new EV. Also: a proposal that could grant crypto firms access to Fed infrastructure and a check-in with Cuba's tourism minister.

From the BBC World Service: Experts have estimated that the cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover — which halted car production there for multiple weeks — cost the carmaker roughly $2.55 billion, making the breach the most expensive in the country's history. We'll do the numbers. And later in the program, tourism has long played a central part in Cuba's economy. So what impact have the Trump administration's new sanctions had?

Michael speaks with David Shedd, former CIA officer and former acting director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, about the Western Hemisphere and the escalating threat from Venezuela—on the heels of recent U.S. strikes targeting alleged drug mules off the country's coast. David discusses the significant shift in U.S. strategy, which now treats narco-trafficking more like counter-terrorism targets than criminal organizations. He explains why the U.S. is using MQ-9 Reaper drones and Navy assets to disrupt trafficking and openly acknowledging a covert action campaign. David also outlines how Venezuela, led by President Nicolas Maduro, is driving illicit migration and acting as a hub for malign influence from Cuba, Russia, China, and Iran. They also discuss the critical role of Colombia and Mexico in countering these drug trafficking and migration threats to the U.S.

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 -11. Events happened in 1965 (April to November) - Travel to Congo Via Tanzania - Fake news about his whereabouts - Mother's death in his absence - Futile exercises to motivate Congo fighters - Retreat with failure are covered in this episode.

How did Ana Montes spy for Cuba for 17 years while surrounded by FBI agents, which included her own relatives? Investigative journalist Jim Popkin joins spy novelist Charlie Higson to reveal how the Pentagon's top Cuba analyst maintained her double life, and shared Thanksgiving dinner surrounded FBI family members while feeding America's military secrets to Havana. Having spent extensive time with Montes' own siblings, Popkin knows this remarkable story of deception inside out - from Montes' risky romance with an intelligence officer, to the psychological discipline that kept her hidden in plain sight. It's a tale that shook US intelligence to its core, wrapped around a family drama that still reverberates today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(Centenario del Nacimiento de Celia Cruz) «Además del gran tesoro de grabaciones que realizó en tantísimos años que vivió en el escenario, Celia dejó establecida La Fundación Celia Cruz... cuyo propósito es ayudar a los niños de bajos recursos a estudiar música y [apoyar] a las instituciones que se dedican a combatir el [cáncer, ese] terrible mal que lamentablemente le dio fin a su vida y a la de su mamá.» Así comienza Omer Pardillo-Cid su reflexión sobre el legado que dejó la famosa «guarachera de Cuba» en su epílogo a la autobiografía de Celia Cruz titulada: Celia: Mi vida. «Aparte de la fundación, Celia Cruz dejó un ejemplo a seguir de lo que debe ser el comportamiento de un artista o un famoso —continúa Pardillo—. Ella daba sus consejos, cuando se le solicitaban, con la misma generosidad y sinceridad que daba su cariño.... [A los] muchos artistas jóvenes y a aquellos que ya habían hecho su nombre sonar por todas partes... Celia les decía: »“No se olviden nunca que ese público que está ahí es el que nos paga.... Los empresarios y los sellos viven del artista, pero el artista vive de su público. Entonces, lo más importante en la vida de un artista siempre debe ser el amor y el respeto al público. Sin esas dos cosas, no se puede ser agradecido con ellos, y si no se les agradece, no se quedan con nosotros. »”¿Cómo le demuestra un artista respeto a su público? Tratándolo de la misma manera que el artista quiere que se le trate.... [Es que] cuando uno se hace famoso, es muy fácil pensar que lo hizo uno sólo o que se lo merecía por su talento, o su belleza o cualquier otra cosa por el estilo. Pero eso no es verdad.... Por eso digo yo que el que no pueda ni quiera hacerlo de esta manera, mejor que ni se meta.” »Celia era enemiga de los guardaespaldas que golpean o maltratan a la gente que trata de acercársele a un artista.... Nunca tuvo guardaespaldas porque nunca los necesitó. Ella se hacía respetar y se dejaba querer. Y donde hay un verdadero amor, no hay temor…1 »[Esa] filosofía... vino a reflejarse maravillosamente en la pompa y serenidad de su velorio», concluye Omer Pardillo.2 Durante treinta y dos de los mismos años en que Celia estaba cobrando cada vez más fama por su música llamativa, el Hermano Pablo llegó a ser también famoso en todo el mundo hispanohablante por sus más de diez mil Mensajes a la Conciencia difundidos por radio y televisión. Y para este servidor que lo sucedió y lo observó de cerca durante los últimos diecisiete años de su vida ejemplar, es muy interesante comparar la filosofía del Hermano Pablo sobre su público con la filosofía de Celia. Puedo asegurar, como testigo ocular, que él mostraba— sin falta— amor, cariño y respeto por su público, fuera cual fuera su condición social. Sin necesidad de guardaespaldas, él escuchaba, mirándole a los ojos, a cada uno que se le acercaba, como si esa persona fuera la más importante del mundo. Es que practicaba lo que predicaba, que es precisamente lo que aconseja Celia y que tanta falta hace que hagamos los demás: vivir conforme a la regla de oro que estableció Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios, de tratar a los demás de la misma manera como queremos que nos traten a nosotros.3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 1Jn 4:18 2 Celia Cruz con Ana Cristina Reymundo, Celia: Mi vida (New York: HarperCollins, 2004), pp. 242-45. 3 Mt 7:12

Todd Purdum joins Zach to unpack Desi Arnaz's wild arc: raised like a prince in Cuba, exiled at 16 by revolution, hustling in Miami, inventing the conga craze, then conquering Broadway and Hollywood with Lucille Ball. We dig into trauma that fueled his genius, the invention of the three-camera sitcom, catching "Lightning In A Bottle" with I Love Lucy, womanizing, marriage cracks and goodbyes, and the fingerprints Desi left on modern television. Guest bio: Todd S. Purdum is a veteran journalist and author whose forty-year career has spanned The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Politico, and The Atlantic.

It's Monday, October 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes, written by Jonathan Clark, heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Human Rights Conference in Berlin Highlights Christian Persecution Human rights experts met in Berlin, Germany last Wednesday, highlighting the increased persecution of Christians worldwide.  The International Society for Human Rights released a new report on Christian persecution at the conference.  The report notes that Christians suffer under dictatorial states like China, Cuba, and North Korea. They remain victims of discrimination and violence without state protections in countries like Egypt, Syria, Nigeria, India, and Myanmar. And believers face persecution in Islamic republics like Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan.  The conference also highlighted the suffering of Ukrainian Christians under Russian occupation. Johann Matthies with the Evangelical Alliance in Germany said, “Russian occupation authorities are specifically targeting Ukrainian religious communities: they are pressuring churches to cooperate or destroying them if they refuse.” Psalm 34:15-16 says, “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.” President Trump Continues Efforts to End Russian-Ukrainian War U.S. President Donald Trump continues his efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. President Trump spoke over the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Thursday. He then met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last Friday. President Trump also plans on meeting with President Putin in Budapest, Hungary in the coming weeks. Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: "I met with President Zelensky, as you know, today, and we had a very good meeting; very cordial meeting. In my opinion, they should stop the war immediately. You stop at the battle line, and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it. Stop right now at the battle line. I told that to President Zelensky. I told it to President Putin. Thank you very much, everybody." Russia Proposes a Rail Tunnel Under the Bering Strait Reuters reports Russia proposed a “Putin-Trump” rail tunnel under the Bering Strait to link the two nations. The eight billion dollar proposal follows President Donald Trump's phone call with President Vladimir Putin. Russia's proposal would involve building a 70-mile rail and cargo tunnel between Alaska and Russia's eastern region of Chukotka. The plan suggested Elon Musk's Boring Company for the construction project. President Trump called the idea “interesting,” saying, “We'll have to think about that.”  Trump Moves to Reduce the Cost of IVF Last Thursday, President Donald Trump announced a deal with the pharmaceutical industry to reduce the cost of in vitro fertilization. The Trump administration hailed the move as pro-family. However, pro-life groups are criticizing the plan.  LifeSiteNews noted, “The IVF process is gravely unethical as it entails the conscious creation of scores of ‘excess' embryonic humans only to be killed and human lives being treated like commodities to be bartered over. It has been estimated that more than a million embryos are frozen in storage in the United States following IVF, and that as many as 93 percent of all embryos created through IVF are eventually destroyed.” Conservative Anglicans Split from the Church of England Conservative Anglicans formally split from the Church of England last week. The Global Anglican Future Conference, also known as GAFCON, declared itself to be the Global Anglican Communion. It will no longer participate in meetings called by the Church of England's Archbishop of Canterbury.  Sarah Mullally is the recently appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. She is the first female to hold the position and supports same-sex blessings. Bishop Laurent Mbanda is the chairman of the GAFCON Primates' Council as well as the Primate of Rwanda. He wrote, “We cannot continue to have communion with those who . . . abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority.” Isaiah 8:20 says, “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Pew Research: Divorce Rates are Down in the U.S. And finally, Pew Research reports divorce rates, and specifically refined divorce rates, are down in the U.S. Unlike the overall divorce rate, the refined divorce rate takes into account changes in the number of people who are married at any given time.  This refined divorce rate peaked in the U.S. around 1980 at 22.6 divorces per 1,000 married women. By 2023, it had declined to 14.4 divorces per 1,000 married women.  The report noted that married men are more likely to be employed than divorced men. Also married adults have higher household incomes and hold more wealth than divorced adults.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

(Día del Estreno del Himno Nacional de Cuba) (Himno cantado por Carlos Rey en audio y en video) Si bien fue el 13 de agosto de 1867 que Francisco Vicente Aguilera y Francisco Maceo Osorio, reunidos clandestinamente en Bayamo para preparar un levantamiento armado en pro de la independencia del imperio español, le pidieron a Pedro Felipe Perucho Figueredo Cisneros que compusiera un himno que «fuese como La Marsellesa de los revolucionarios cubanos», no fue sino hasta el 20 de octubre de 1868 que se estrenó. Al lado del Padre de la Patria Carlos Manuel de Céspedes en el marco de la toma de Bayamo —que fue la primera victoria del Ejército Libertador— Perucho, sentado en la montura de su caballo, al escuchar entonar su marcha instrumentada por el maestro Manuel Muñoz Cedeño, escribió la letra del Himno de Bayamo, que el pueblo cantó jubiloso al pasar de mano en mano la hoja escrita. El 12 de agosto de 1870, el Mayor General Perucho Figueredo murió fusilado en Santiago de Cuba, cantando La Bayamesa, el Himno Nacional Cubano, con la frente erguida. Esta es la versión de La Bayamesa que publicó el prócer José Martí el 25 de junio de 1892 en su periódico Patria, que armonizó el musicógrafo Emilio Agramonte por encargo de Martí, y que fue revisada en 1898 por el compositor Antonio Rodríguez Ferrer,1 tal como se canta actualmente: Al combate corred, bayameses, que la patria os contempla orgullosa. No temáis una muerte gloriosa, que morir por la patria es vivir. En cadenas vivir es vivir en afrenta y oprobio sumido. Del clarín escuchad el sonido. ¡A las armas, valientes, corred! El apóstol Pablo, consciente de las batallas que se libran por la libertad física, que es temporal, le instó a su discípulo Timoteo a que peleara la buena batalla de la fe e hiciera suya la vida eterna.2 Es que San Pablo sabía que esa es la única manera de obtener la libertad espiritual, que dura para siempre. Y Timoteo probablemente ya sabía que el requisito de aquel apóstol para pelear esa «buena batalla de la fe» era ponerse la armadura de Dios, que consiste no sólo en el escudo de la fe, sino también en el cinturón de la verdad, la coraza de justicia, el calzado dispuesto para anunciar la buena noticia de la paz, el casco de la salvación y la espada del Espíritu Santo, que es la palabra de Dios.3 De ahí que yo mismo como hijo de esta patria, consciente de que tenemos a nuestra disposición esas armas espirituales que pueden librarnos de las cadenas del pecado,4 interprete también la segunda estrofa de nuestro Himno de Bayamo como un llamado urgente a pelear sin tregua esa buena batalla espiritual: En cadenas vivir es vivir en afrenta y oprobio sumido. Del clarín escuchad el sonido. ¡A las armas, valientes, corred!

“No country is ever just one thing.” In her new book Cuba: An American History (Scribner, 2021), NYU historian Ada Ferrer shows this again and again. In clear and engaging prose, Ferrer narrates five centuries of history from a decidedly different angle than previous one-volume studies; the main drivers of history in this book are not just familiar political figures and abstract historical forces, but a whole range of typically marginalized historical actors. Ferrer integrates the voices of the enslaved, ordinary Cubans, and her own family to reimagine what it means to tell the history of the island. Part of this reimagining also involves showing the many points of convergence between the history of the United States and Cuba. Ferrer uses many anecdotes—such as the story of the inauguration of a Vice President of the United States on a sugar plantation in Cuba—to suggest how the lines between Cuban and American history were often blurred together. The result is a finely crafted and deeply personal book that encourages readers to recognize Cuba's contested past and its multiple identities. Steven P.

Venezuela was once a liberal democracy with close geopolitical relations with the United States. So what happened? This is the story of Venezuela's devolution from democracy to dictatorship, and from cooperation with America to coups and open conflict.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, all antisemitic, racist, and bigoted messaging and other forms of communication should be aggressively condemned.  Who cares if it's Young Republicans or Young Democrats, members of Congress, media that platforms and promotes such poison, organizations that invite bigots as speakers and debaters, podcasters, comedians, and on and on.  It's disgusting that some of those condemning the Young Republicans in the Politico piece, who most certainly should be condemned and removed, are as guilty as they are with their headlines, storylines, and promotion of a long list of bigots. It's sinister. The likes of Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, Steve Bannon, and their ilk, as well as their apologists are being mainstreamed do have an impact on the minds of too many young people. Where are the top Republicans denouncing them?  Later, Zohran Mamdani is a Marxist Islamist disguised as a democratic socialist. Mamdani's policies would impoverish NYC like Cuba or Venezuela through freebies, high minimum wages, and welfare expansion eroding liberty and affordability while attracting the poor and overwhelming services. Mamdani speaks out of both sides of his mouth, ignoring Hamas's slaughter, beatings, and public field executions of Palestinians while fixating on his claim that Israelis killed five Palestinians recently. Afterward, Islamists won't be deterred by peace plans, and these nations, such as Qatar and Turkey, fund, fear, and acquiesce to terrorism. Right now, Hamas is slaughtering and executing Palestinians in Gaza, which is ignored by pro-Palestinian groups like Students for Justice in Palestine, who is indirectly controlled by Hamas and aimed at destroying Israel and the U.S. There's no marching in the streets for Hamas slaughtering Palestinians. Also, Republicans better fight like hell, or the Democrats could take over the House in the midterms, which would mean President Trump loses his agenda. Do not listen to the polls.

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 -9. Events happened in Early 1965 - Background of Africa Wars - Congo Situation - 3 Months trip to African Countries - Grand Exit from Cuba are covered in this episode.

https://youtu.be/VQbBuGEYI0o Una nueva filtración de documentos oficiales destapa los viajes de Vilma Rodríguez Castro, nieta de Raúl Castro, a Estados Unidos entre 2012 y 2016 usando pasaporte diplomático. Mientras millones de cubanos soñaban con salir de la isla, la élite disfrutaba de privilegios reservados a una casta.Los archivos confirman al menos cinco viajes a Nueva York, autorizados por el MINREX y aceptados por inmigración estadounidense, bajo la narrativa de “intercambio cultural”. Desde mansiones de Airbnb hasta fotos de lujo en redes sociales, esta filtración expone la distancia obscena entre el discurso oficial de igualdad y la vida de los que gobiernan Cuba.La historia no solo revela la hipocresía del régimen, sino también la indignación selectiva de Estados Unidos, que sanciona a generales mientras permite que los nietos de la cúpula paseen libremente por su territorio. ¿Es realmente una lucha entre dictadura y democracia, o un teatro donde ambos Estados beben del mismo vino?FUENTE: Este VIDEO se basa en la información inicialmente publicada en Martí Noticias por Mario J. Pentón, en su reportaje 'Nieta de Raúl Castro viajó en varias ocasiones a EEUU con pasaporte diplomático y gastos pagos'.

The intelligence world is evolving rapidly. Former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante explains Cold War tech, Ukraine strategy, and global conflicts. [Pt. 2/2 — catch Pt. 1/2 here!]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1221What We Discuss with Andrew Bustamante:Jeffrey Epstein was likely an FBI confidential informant rather than a CIA asset. The FBI can grant immunity for domestic crimes, while CIA has no authority to provide legal cover for American citizens committing crimes in the US.Blackmail is the weakest form of manipulation. Once information is released, it can be denied as fake or AI-generated, and the blackmailer has already spent their only leverage with no guarantee of success.Social media isn't a battlefield — it's a mosh pit with all offensive operations and no defense. State actors create chaos cheaply, forcing opponents to spend vastly more resources fighting disinformation.Israel serves as a strategic watchdog for US interests. By weakening Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran, Netanyahu has secured not just Israel but also Saudi Arabia and the United States for two decades.CIA persuasion and influence techniques are based on empirical science and human behavior patterns.
