PREVIEW: #PANAMA: DARIEN GAP CAMPS EXPANDING. MICHAELYON@SUBSTACK.COM 1866 PANAMA

EPA chief Lee Zeldin cuts the head off the green scam viper and announces major changes to drive a dagger into the heart of climate change. Border crossings at the Darien Gap plunge to almost absurd levels as the world seems to understand Trump's message: Don't do it. Greenland is feeling the Trump Effect as the liberal government is ousted for a more conservative, Trump-friendly leadership. And don't look now, but inflation is down, the price of eggs is down, and so is the cost of gas. 

The border crisis has reached a breaking point, and if you've been following the show, you know how passionate I am about illegal immigration and the dangers it brings—including drug trafficking, human trafficking, and violent crime. We've gone all the way down to Panama's Darien Gap to see the root of the crisis firsthand.In this episode, we expose the entitlement mentality that has developed around illegal immigration and how activist policies have created a free-for-all, putting hardworking Americans at risk. We also break down the latest updates on ICE operations, the dangers our law enforcement officers face, and the shocking level of protection given to criminal illegal aliens.✅ Key Topics Discussed:-The direct impact of open border policies-How criminals exploit immigration loopholes-The alarming role of activist judges and leaked ICE operations-How law enforcement is being put in danger-The connection between entitlement culture and rising crimeThe numbers don't lie—since President Trump's executive orders, illegal border crossings have dropped by 95% in just a month. It's proof that action can be taken, despite what weak politicians claim.

When Patty (www.outbackofbeyond.com) and her husband Loren made their way across the Darien Gap, down through South America, over to Africa and then up to the Middle East, they encountered countless obstacles and troubles, yet they never stopped. They set a Guinness World Record and recorded some of the best stories in the history of Overlanding. Join us as we visit with Mrs. Patty, the stories of her husband, and the stories she recounts from her journals from years ago.For more visit www.brofessoradventures.com !! Thank you for listening!

This podcast is a recording of a December 13, 2024 live reading and Q&A session conducted by our friend James Stout. James is one of the foremost investigative journalists working today in the foreign policy arena, reporting on things like the civil war in Myanmar against the military junta, and on migration through the Darien Gap. In this presentation, James reads a chapter from his forthcoming book Against the State and takes questions about Rojava, revolution, and antifascism. Also during this event, James and Yellow Peril Tactical were able to raise almost $650 for the Kurdish Red Crescent (Heyva Sor a Kurd) and Tekoşîna Anarşîst, anarchist internationalists currently fighting in AANES against Turkish-funded forces.We look forward to sharing more ways to support the struggle in Rojava on YPT this year!Listen to James Stout on the It Could Happen Here Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/it-could-happen-here/id1449762156 Follow James on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/jamesstout.bsky.socialFollow James on Twitter: https://x.com/jamesstoutFollow us on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/yellow_peril_tactical⁠ Follow us on Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/yptactual⁠ Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/yptactual.bsky.social Support our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/yellow_peril_tactical

What was once a “well-oiled migrant smuggling machine” into the United States has collapsed thanks to President Trump's border enforcement and promise to deport every illegal alien in the country. So, to make money now, many of these same smugglers are taking self-deportees back to Venezuela.Naturally, the far-left Associated Press reports on this as though it's a bad thing…“They once braved the jungles of the Darien Gap, trekking days along the perilous migrant passage dividing Colombia and Panama with a simple goal: seek asylum in the U.S.,” reports the AP. “Now, boat-by-boat, those migrants … have given up after President Donald Trump's crackdown on asylum, and are returning to the countries they once sought to escape.”Hey, all Trump did was enforce the law. If people want asylum, there is a legal way to ask for asylum at a point of entry. These folks didn't do that. Former President Joe Biden tried to aid and abet their lawlessness with an app that would grant them an asylum hearing, but that's now how it works, that is not the law, and Trump killed the app.

Ever wondered why you can drive from Alaska to Argentina—except for one small gap? That's because of the Darien Gap, a 100-mile stretch of dense jungle and swamps between Panama and Colombia. It's wild, dangerous, and practically impossible to build a road through, thanks to the rough terrain, extreme weather, and local wildlife (think snakes and jaguars!). Governments have also avoided building a highway there to prevent illegal activities like drug trafficking from spreading even more easily. Some adventurers have crossed it on foot or by bike, but it's no easy trip. So, for now, the Pan-American Highway remains broken, and the Darien Gap stays one of the last true roadless frontiers!

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on May 20, 2024. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. The Darien Gap is a dangerous stretch of jungle on a strip of land that connects North and South America. In recent years, stricter Central American border policies have driven hundreds of thousands of people to make this treacherous trek. The number of children among them has skyrocketed. We follow one family as they navigate the crossing.

A crescent of flames looms over Los Angeles as wildfires burn. Firefighters manage to bring under control the blaze that had been threatening Hollywood. Also: the dangerous journey across the Darien Gap jungle.

In today's episode, we have an incredibly special guest: Representative Tom Tiffany from Wisconsin. You might be wondering, why have a congressman on a true crime show? Well, three and a half years ago, I met Rep. Tiffany during an eye-opening trip to Panama and the Darien Gap—one of the most dangerous routes for migrants making their way to the U.S. We discuss the humanitarian crisis, the chaos at the southern border, and the massive crime surge tied to illegal immigration.Rep. Tiffany shares firsthand stories of what he witnessed, including the heart-wrenching conditions migrants face and how this crisis has spiraled out of control. From gangrene and unsanitary living conditions to organized crime seeping into the U.S., we explore the real impacts of the Biden administration's open border policies.We also dive into the larger implications of unchecked immigration—how communities in America are being affected, rising crime rates, and what it will take to bring law and order back to the country.This episode is eye-opening and urgent.

Hast du schon einmal vom Tapón del Darién gehört? Auf Englisch bezeichnet man es als Darien Gap und meint damit das letzte unerschlossene Dschungelgebiet zwischen Panama und Kolumbien.

“I was always told that water is life,” says Guillermo Sanchez, a water, sanitation and hygiene specialist for the Panamanian Red Cross who lives and works in the Darien Gap, a stretch of undeveloped jungle that connects South and Central America. “But I never really appreciated what that meant until I was able to see water really save the lives of people coming out of the Darien Gap.” This roadless, lawless and hilly forest on the border between Colombia and Panama is now one of the world's most used, and most dangerous, routes for people seeking a better life. When people finally make it through, they're exhausted, dehydrated and covered with mud. That's when water takes on even more meaning. “Just having a clean shower means people can feel like themselves again; they can reclaim themselves, their dignity.”

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – How do 300,000 migrant children simply vanish? Exploring the perilous Darien Gap, a jungle filled with violence, trafficking, and unspeakable horrors, reveals a harrowing truth. Survivors share chilling accounts, while human traffickers profit from the suffering. Inspired by *Sound of Freedom* and biblical warnings, this piece calls for action and prayers for those lost and exploited.

We talk to Dylan Harris, founder of Lupine Travel, about his tour company, how they decide on their destinations and what it's like to organise trips to "no-go" areas like the Darien Gap, Yemen and Afghanistan.

The Darien Gap is a 60 mile stretch of jungle that hundreds of thousands of migrants from all over South America trek through in order to reach the US-Mexico border. From there, they enter America in search of better lives. These are usually migrants from Venezuela, or Colombia or Panama. But in recent years, a new group of people have appeared at the border, having paid people smugglers and hacked through the jungle. They often bring young children, clutch on to smartphones with which they check their routes, and watch social media videos that set out, step by step, the journey they are embarking on. These are the Chinese, which in the last two years have been the fastest growing group of migrants being encountered at America's southern border – over 37,000 last year, up from under 4,000 the year before. This year, there have already been over 21,000. What brings them, and how unusual is this method of emigration when it comes to people from China? On this podcast are Professor Meredith Oyen, an expert on US-China migration, and Amy Hawkins, senior China correspondent at the Guardian, who has come across a similar phenomenon on Europe's borders.

https://rumble.com/embed/v5necnn/?pub=13ry0f In an in person interview at Doug Casey's home in Argentina, Tom Bodrovics hosts Michael Yon and Ivor Cummins. The discussion revolves around the profound shifts in the global order post-Trump election. Michael Yon, a combat correspondent, author, and former Green Beret, underscores this era as pivotal due to evolving geopolitical dynamics rather than the election itself. He believes globalism, an age-old concept, gains traction with modern technology. Yon implicates certain entities, namely Zionists, seeking control over specific territories for their interests. He warns of their intent to target Iran, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah, and Russia. Furthermore, he highlights the struggle between oligarchs, some aiming to decrease the world population and deindustrialize Europe. The conversation delves into U.S. intentions behind the Nord Stream pipeline conflict with Russia. Factors include maintaining geopolitical distance, economic implications, and European deindustrialization. Threats from the U.S. towards fertilizer and agriculture sectors as potential means to instigate famines are also examined. Michael questions Trump's ability to end wars based on campaign promises and cautions about their unpredictability and longevity. He introduces concepts like staked goat tactics and green flag attacks, hinting at potential deception in conflicts. Emphasizing the significance of clear language and context, Michael defines ongoing issues as invasions instead of crises or migrations. Weaponized migration as an ancient tactic of warfare is also discussed. Possible safe havens for personal freedom and security are debated, with reference to Doug Casey's preferred countries. The evolving perspective on drugs as weapons is addressed, including historical examples like the opium wars. Various forms of warfare, such as drug warfare and information warfare, are explored as tools used by adversaries to disrupt societies. Personal insights from Asia regarding Chinese infiltration into American political systems and banking sectors are shared. The detrimental effects of drugs on families and society are acknowledged, with concerns about their potential to weaken resistance against adversaries' strategies. Criticisms of political figures like Trump and Harris are voiced, as well as HIAS's role in facilitating migration through the Darien gap in Panama. Influential figures like Alejandro Mayorkas, now leading the Department of Homeland Security, are mentioned in this context.

Notes and Links to Lauren Markham's Work       Lauren Markham is a writer based in northern California. She is the author of the recent A Map of Future Ruins: On Borders and Belonging (Riverhead, 2024) which The New Yorker listed as one of “The Best Books We've Read in 2024 So Far” and which Kirkus reviews called “a remarkable, unnerving, and cautionary portrait of a global immigration crisis.” A fiction writer, essayist and journalist, her work most often concerns issues related to youth, migration, the environment and her home state of California. Markham's first book, The Far Away Brothers: Two Young Migrants and the Making of an American Life (Crown, 2017) was the winner of the 2018 Ridenhour Book Prize, the Northern California Book Award, and a California Book Award Silver Prize. It was named a Barnes & Noble Discover Selection, a New York Times Book Critics' Top Book of 2017, and was shortlisted for the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize and the L.A. Times Book Award and longlisted for a Pen America Literary Award in Biography.  Markham has reported from the border regions of Greece and Mexico and Thailand and Texas; from arctic Norway; from gang-controlled regions of El Salvador; from depopulating towns in rural Sardinia and rural Guatemala, too; from home school havens in southern California; from imperiled forests in Oregon and Washington; from the offices of overwhelmed immigration attorneys in L.A. and Tijuana; from the upscale haunts of women scammed on the Upper East Side.  Her writing has appeared in outlets such as VQR (where she is a contributing editor), Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, Guernica, Freeman's, Mother Jones, Orion, The Atlantic, Lit Hub, California Sunday, Zyzzyva, The Georgia Review, The Best American Travel Writing 2019, and on This American Life. She has been awarded fellowships from The Mesa Refuge, UC Berkeley, Middlebury College, the McGraw Center, the French American Foundation, the Society for Environmental Journalists, the Silvers Prize, the de Groot Foundation, and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference.  In addition to writing, Markham has spent fifteen years working at the intersection of education and immigration. She regularly teaches writing in various community writing centers as well as at the Ashland University MFA in Writing Program, the University of San Francisco and St. Mary's MFA in Writing Program. Her third book, Immemorial, will be published by Transit Books in 2025.       Buy A Map of Future Ruins   Lauren's Website   Los Angeles Review of Books' Review of A Map of Future Ruins   At about 4:00, Lauren makes the case that not all young reading has to be high-brow as she discusses formative works as a kid and adolescent, which included Nancy Drew and Milan Kundera At about 6:50, Lauren responds to Pete's question about how she thinks and writes in diverse genres, and how her reading of varied writers informs her own work At about 10:40, Lauren shouts out Vauhini Vara, Hernan Diaz, Nathan Heller, Jia Tolentino, and other treasured contemporary writers At about 12:45, Lauren talks about how writing informs her teaching, and vice versa At about 15:25, Pete asks Lauren about seeds for A Map of Future Ruins and how her work with many undocumented and refugee students has affected her writing At about 19:00, Lauren and Pete discuss ideas of belonging and exclusion and pride and heritage in connection to Lauren's Greek heritage and reporting trips there At about 23:10, Ideas of “insiders” and “outsiders” and the challenges of immigration paperwork are discussed At about 26:05, Pete and Lauren reflect on a powerful quote from Warsan Shire regarding people being impelled to emigrate At about 26:55, Lauren gives background on the conditions that made Moria on the Greek slang of Lesbos a “purgatory” At about 31:20, Demetrios, a representative Greek from the book, and his views on immigration and “speak[ing] bird” is discussed  At about 36:05, Lauren expands upon how Greece as the “starting point of democracy” has been corrupted and co-opted and points to a stellar expose on truth from Kwame Anthony Appiah At about 41:50, The two discuss the arbitrary nature of “The West” and Greece and its ideals and ideas of a “Western lineage At about 43:55, Lauren expands upon the ideas of “proximity to Whiteness” with particular historical relevance for Greeks, Italians, and Southern Europeans At about 44:55, Pete and Lauren reference the horrific images of the Syrian refugee whose death galvanized support, as well as Ali Sayed's story, traced in her book At about 46:40, Lauren explains terminology and methods of doing business by Turkish and other smugglers At about 48:10, Turkish and Greek relations and how they affected the lack of patrols is highlighted  At about 49:20, “The Moria Six” and Ali's story and trials are discussed in relation to the fire referenced at the beginning of the book At about 52:00, The impositions of maps and Empire are reflected upon  At about 53:05, “Whiteness” and its imposition on “classical form” and racist science are explored, as written about in the book At about 54:55, The two trace the initial and later welcome for refugees to Greek islands and ideas of the original meaning of “asylum”; Lauren also highlights many incredible people helping refugees to this day, as well as ideas of “invaders” and scapegoats At about 58:40, Discussion of Greek austerity and true issues of difficulty for are referenced  At about 59:50, The two discuss Lauren's section in the book regarding Darien Gap and connections to Lauren's family's own emigration/immigration story At about 1:02:00, The two highlight ideas of community among refugees, and Pete asks Lauren about pessimism and optimism and the book's title At about 1:03:25, Ali's unfinished story is referenced  At about 1:04:05-Laser Round Questions!

On this week's four weeks for Friday: the debut of Typecast (!), where I respond to listener questions; a rundown of what I am watching, listening to, and reading this week (including: the new Netflix film It's What's Inside, revisiting Stephen King's Storm of the Century, Coldplay's Moon Music, The Bulwark conversation with Timothy Snyder this week on "the Politics of Impotence," Slow Burn's great new season on "The Rise of Fox News," and a searing new piece in the Atlantic, "Seventy Miles in the Darien Gap," by Cailtin Dickerson. Let me know what you are into this week in the comments! This week's Typecast is a response to Mike Skinner, who asked me: "from your personal and pastoral experience, what are two or three theological truths that are commonly shared with folks who are struggling to find and hold onto hope that are both overrated and underrated in their power and ability to help and encourage?" Such a great (multi-part) question! I will look forward to reading more of yours!

An Israeli strike on a humanitarian zone in southern Gaza left a giant crater in the ground where Palestinian families had been living in tents. We have an update on the latest news, as well as perspectives on loss of civilian life in Gaza, even in designated safe zones. Also, around a half a million people cross the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama every year in the hopes of reaching the United States. They leave behind untold volumes of waste. And all that pollution is threatening a local ecosystem. Plus, Australia has a plan to ban children from using social media entirely. We look at how that is expected to work and what the new policy aims to achieve.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.
