Podcasts about El Salvador

In July 2024, then nineteen-year-old Nixon Azuaje-Pérez picked up spent bullet casings after a shooting outside his apartment in Aurora, Colorado. It was a decision that would thrust the Venezuelan migrant into the middle of Trump’s presidential campaign and eventually land him in a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Local police suspected Nixon was part of a Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua. But was he a member? And how would anybody know?

In Georgia, DOJ celebrates its 26th courtroom loss in the battle to steal state voter rolls.   An Arizona appeals court overturned a manslaughter sentence because of an absolutely bonkers use of AI.   A judge in DC Superior Court dismissed vandalism charges against Olympic canoeist David Hearn with prejudice.   The Justice Department filed an ethics complaint against almost every judge in the District of Minnesota for talking to the New York Times about what it was like to have their orders blatantly disregarded day after day.   A judge in Washington ruled that the president has no power to fire US Attorneys installed by judges when there is an unfilled vacancy. The three hat dance is so back, baby!   DOOFUS OF THE DAY:    Revisionist historian Geoff Shepard, a former Nixon aide, is making the rounds at DOJ pitching his hot take: "Watergate As Lawfare." The WSJ reports that there's an appetite inside the Justice Department for the theory that all those guys who went to jail for Nixon were persecuted victims.   MAIN SHOW:   JGG v. Trump, the first major case where the Trump DOJ defied a court order, sending hundreds of men to CECOT in El Salvador, is back at the DC Circuit. This week, the entire court sitting en banc, heard oral argument on the issue of whether Judge James Boasberg has the power to do anything about flagrant contempt of his rulings. Audio here!   SUBSCRIBER BONUS:   The US Supreme Court, via a 6-3 shadow docket order, stayed two lower court rulings prohibiting the administration from deporting immigrants to third countries without due process, without notice or the opportunity to raise a credible fear or torture or persecution. The New York Times reported that the administration was unable to comply with the court's order to stop, so it immediately ran to the Supreme Court for help, which it got.   US v.

El asesinato de un representante de la Mexican Mafia perpetrado por un marero salvadoreño en una cárcel estadounidense ha dejado a la MS-13 aislada y sin alianzas criminales. Esta historia de un crimen permite entender cómo se reconfigura el poder dentro de la pandilla tras desaparecer su mando en El Salvador. Y un nombre que los salvadoreños conocen muy bien vuelve a aparecer en escena: Crook. El próximo capítulo de la MS-13 se escribe en Estados Unidos.

Bloomberg claimed El Salvador is abandoning Bitcoin for stablecoins, and Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert showed up on Simply Bitcoin live, unannounced, to shut it down straight from the source. Their answer: the "stablecoin app" Bloomberg pointed to is an unrelated community platform, El Salvador has no plans for any crypto or stablecoin wallet, and if it ever did, it would run on Bitcoin, not Coinbase's chain. They walk through the real numbers: one Bitcoin bought every day for three years, 80,000 civil servants trained, and an economy that went from the murder capital of the world to pushing $40 billion in GDP after cutting out gang extortion. Then the show turns on the people calling Bukele a dictator while defending governments that arrest citizens over Facebook posts.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

In this Wednesday Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan answers listener questions on McDonald's AI driven "predictive pricing," where the same Big Mac costs 21 percent more just two miles away, and how your phone, car, and appliances are already being used against your wallet. Bryan covers the arrest of a hacker linked to a major FBI data breach that exposed agents working Chinese, Russian, and cartel targets, plus a scathing DHS Inspector General report confirming the Biden Administration barely vetted 97,000 Afghan evacuees before resettling them in the US. Plus, Bryan answers listener questions on Trump's reversal on deporting 200,000 Salvadorans, the Supreme Court's latest green light for third country deportations, a court ruling favoring a Democrat West Point professor's free speech fight with the Pentagon, and why he agrees a quiet global hybrid war involving China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea may already be underway.

Who gets to read the science, and who pays for it? Fresh back from summer (tans included),  Garry Aslanyan and co-hosts  Catherine Kyobutungi and Ricardo Baptista Leite return for the fifth installment of The Inside Track. This time they're joined by special guest Ashley Farley, Senior Officer for Knowledge and Research Services in Global Health at the Gates Foundation, to dig into open access and the paywalls that keep research away from the people who need it most. They talk about why the Gates Foundation stopped paying article processing charges and the growth of Diamond Open Access. The pundits then pick apart Lithuania's controversial plan to send newly trained doctors to rural areas. They close with kudos for El Salvador eliminating trachoma, promising mRNA cancer vaccine results and the public health thinking behind Addis Ababa's makeover.Related episode documents, transcripts and other information can be found on our website.Subscribe to the Global Health Matters podcast newsletter.  Follow us for updates:@TDRnews on XTDR on LinkedIn@ghm_podcast on Instagram@ghm-podcast.bsky.social on Bluesky  Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.    All content © 2026 Global Health Matters.

En Hora América dedicamos la primera parte del programa a México, donde analizamos la persistencia de la violencia, las desapariciones y la impunidad junto a Adriana Sánchez, subdirectora de Amnistía Internacional en México. Repasamos además la actualidad del continente, desde la disputa entre Argentina y Reino Unido por la explotación petrolera en las Malvinas hasta las nuevas restricciones de visado de Estados Unidos a ciudadanos latinoamericanos y el ataque armado que ha dejado siete muertos en Guatemala. Nos detenemos también en los 40 años del estreno de La misión, la película que llevó al cine la historia de las misiones jesuitas entre los guaraníes. En la segunda parte conversamos con el periodista y excorresponsal Jacobo García sobre sus más de dos décadas recorriendo Iberoamérica y su libro Años Luz, publicado por Anagrama; viajamos hasta Tazumal, uno de los principales yacimientos arqueológicos de El Salvador, para descubrir los enigmas de su pasado prehispánico; y cerramos con música venezolana de Rawayana, tras el paso de la banda por Madrid.

Tazumal es uno de los yacimientos arqueológicos más importantes de El Salvador y una de las grandes huellas de la civilización maya en la región. Sus pirámides, templos y vestigios nos acercan a la vida, la religión y las costumbres de quienes habitaron este enclave hace siglos.

Two hundred years ago, Simón Bolívar dreamed of a united Latin America - precisely so it could resist becoming America's backyard. South America may finally be integrating... Just not the way he had in mind. Elohim Monard joins from Pucallpa, deep in the Peruvian Amazon, to trace what Marco Rubio's recent swing through the region actually accomplished, why security is the MacGuffin and China is the real story, and how a continent ends up saying "yes sir" while Chinese state companies quietly run its ports and power grids. Plus: the Latin Americanization of US politics, and why El Salvador might be the next Singapore.Timestamps:(00:00) - Podcast Welcome(00:44) - Recording In Amazon(02:43) - Amazon Versus Lima(06:03) - Fujimori Nostalgia(08:49) - Rubio Trip Backdrop(11:18) - Bolivar Dream Reversed(15:57) - Venezuela Power Signal(22:22) - Bukele Surprise Move(24:47) - Canada Multilateral Bet(27:48) - Brazil Won't Lead Region(28:53) - Amazon Barrier Paradox(30:51) - Learning From Brazil's Balancing(32:22) - Cuba Crisis And US Moves(34:06) - Trade Partners Split Region(36:58) - Security As A Pretext(40:36) - Peru As China Flashpoint(44:27) - Avoiding Cold War 2.0(47:13) - Bukele And Singapore Model(48:44) - Latin Americanization And Submission(53:14) - Rubio's Role And US Demands(54:55) - Closing And Sign Off--Referenced in the Show:--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Is Bitcoin still legal tender in El Salvador? Plenty of people say it isn't, so Mike put the question to a Salvadoran lawyer who has followed every change to the law.You've seen the IMF headlines and decided the experiment ended. What you can't see from outside is how the El Salvador economy looks to someone who was born here, practiced law through the worst years, and now builds his firm on Bitcoin.Mike sat down with Jose Rodriguez, founder of Nodeman, a Bitcoin-centric legal service provider in San Salvador. Jose became a lawyer in 2008, lost money on a taxi app before Uber arrived, got fired in 2016, went surfing at Sunzal to celebrate, and never went back to a job.Jose has compared more than 15 jurisdictions, and he'll tell you what still makes El Salvador legal tender law different from every one of them, even after the changes cut articles out of it. He and Mike don't fully agree on what El Salvador IMF pressure should have changed about the government's options, and that disagreement is the best part of the conversation.Then there's El Salvador tax. In 2021 you could pay Ministerio de Hacienda in Bitcoin through Chivo Wallet. Today there's no direct option, and Mike pushes Jose on why the government hasn't set up a third party to convert it the way it already accepts cards. Jose's answer comes down to who carries the risk, and it isn't the answer Mike wanted.For anyone weighing El Salvador business opportunities, Jose is blunt about what an El Salvador business still runs into: company formation, corporate structure, banking. Nodeman grew from one desk to a 10-person team and has kept adding people since, and he turns clients away when they don't fit.Living in El Salvador through 2012 and the years since gives Jose a longer memory than most people arguing about this country online. He calls this a renaissance, and he says it while admitting the government still runs a fiat treasury with a Bitcoin treasury off to the side.A Salvadoran lawyer who reads every Bitcoin book he can find and gives his baby son a self-custody wallet is exactly who this country needed in the room!If you're deciding whether El Salvador is still a place to build on Bitcoin, listen to this one before you make the call.

Mac On Chain left Ireland, moved to El Salvador, and tried to build something more useful than another expat beach post. In this episode he walks through the first months on the ground in Playa Las Tunas, why the guesthouse exists, and how Casa No Dominio grew into a free community school that still refuses handouts. We talk about the credit system used to teach kids responsibility before Bitcoin, the gap between “Bitcoin Country” marketing and daily life on the coast, hospitality standards through The Lux Standard, and what Bukele's security shift actually looks like when you live here. If you're thinking about moving, investing, volunteering, or just orange-pilling a community, this is the unromantic version.

As I discussed with Barron Segar, President and CEO of World Food Program USA, in today's episode, the dynamics have shifted over the last decade. Despite declining government funding and rising costs, Barron remains hopeful—and solutions-driven.“When I started ten years ago, hunger was on the decline,” Barron told me. “Today, we're battling wars, extreme weather events, rising costs, and decreased funding. Yet, we're proud that the U.S. remains a significant contributor while the private sector has stepped up to fill some gaps.”As the representative of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning World Food Program, Barron highlighted how the organization is navigating these changing dynamics. One of its key innovations, he noted, is leveraging partnerships and pre-positioning supplies to respond to emergencies quickly, such as recent events in Nepal and Venezuela. Still, he emphasized, war stands as the leading cause of hunger today, making humanitarian access and supply delivery increasingly difficult.Barron shared an eye-opening statistic: “Over 262 million people today are suffering acute hunger.” This growing crisis, he explained, requires extraordinary efforts and resources to reach those most in need. In war zones like Gaza, the World Food Program is averting famine and feeding hundreds of thousands daily, yet the need remains massive.While discussing hotspots like Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, and Honduras, Barron painted a vivid picture of the struggles faced by refugees and vulnerable communities forced to flee their homes. Reflecting on his visit to the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after the conflict began, he recalled meeting displaced women, children, and even elderly individuals carrying nothing but their few belongings—and their hope.Barron's optimism remains grounded in action. He credits both resilient frontline workers and scalable, innovative solutions, including cash-based transfers to sustain functioning marketplaces. Moreover, he directed listeners to “JustServe,” a platform helping volunteers address local needs domestically, while encouraging global responsibility.This episode underscored the dire need for collaboration and creative problem-solving to combat hunger and build long-term resilience. Barron's leadership highlights how strategic partnerships and unwavering dedication can drive impactful results—even in the face of unprecedented challenges.tl;dr:Barron Segar highlighted how wars, climate events, and underfunding exacerbate global hunger challenges.Innovations like cash-based transfers and strategic pre-positioning strengthen emergency food delivery.The World Food Program USA engages both governments and private sectors to address funding gaps.Barron emphasized creating a collaborative culture while setting measurable growth goals for leadership success.Hunger relief efforts showcase the need for global and local teamwork to build long-term resilience.How to Develop Vision into Action As a SuperpowerBarron's superpower is his ability to turn vision into action. As he explained in today's episode, “One of the superpowers I believe I hold is turning a vision into execution.” He shared how his role as President and CEO of World Food Program USA requires him to not only articulate ambitious goals but also lead his team toward achieving them. Barron pointed to collaboration, measurable results, and difficult but mission-centered decisions as integral to his execution-focused leadership.One example of this superpower is Barron's plan to dramatically grow private sector funding for the organization. When he started in 2020, the World Food Program USA raised $19 million annually. This year, it will surpass $130 million, with a goal of reaching $250 million annually in the next five years. Barron emphasized measurable outcomes and strategic investments, supported by pro bono insights from the Boston Consulting Group, to drive results.Tips for Developing Vision into Action as a Superpower:Focus on creating a high-performance, collaborative culture of respect, optimism, and accountability.Set ambitious but achievable goals that push you and your team beyond your comfort zone.Communicate strategy clearly and align your resources to maximize impact.Establish measurable key performance indicators to track progress and stay focused.Be prepared to make tough decisions and accept that not everyone will always agree with you.By following Barron's example and advice, you can make vision into action a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileBarron Segar (he/him):President & CEO, World Food Program USAAbout World Food Program USA: The World Food Programme is the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and the world's leading humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate extremes.

Mentor Sessions Ep 098: Jack Mallers explains monetizing chaos, dollar debasement, the ColdCard incident, El Salvador and why Bitcoin is the most American technology.Jack Mallers argues the entire fiat system forces everyone into speculation whether they know it or not — and Bitcoin is how you take the other side of the chaos. In a wide-ranging sit-down, the Strike CEO breaks down monetizing chaos, the $40 trillion debt bill nobody wants to foot, and why he's never been more bullish.You'll hear why Jack calls debt a form of "time travel" that already spent your future, how the dollar's world-reserve status structurally forces deficits, and why a severe debasement against gold and Bitcoin may be the only mathematical exit for the US balance sheet. You'll get his blunt read on the ColdCard incident and why "open source doesn't mean secure" in the age of AI — the most incentivized person to understand that code base was the attacker. You'll also learn why he thinks 2026 was never a real bull run, why prediction markets are just regulatory arbitrage on sports betting, and what El Salvador got right (and wrong) five years in.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro0:48 - Why Jack Is Bullish on Bitcoin1:47 - Monetizing Chaos by Shorting Fiat2:04 - Debt as Time Travel and Future Bills4:43 - Why Public Adoption of Bitcoin Lags5:17 - Strike Growing Despite Bear Market6:21 - Why 2026 Was Not a Real Bull Run7:52 - Why Younger Generations Resist Bitcoin8:44 - Bitcoin as a Massive Wealth Transfer11:26 - Savings Culture Versus Gambling Culture13:07 - Gambling Ads, OnlyFans, and Robot Jobs17:58 - Hunger for Savings Culture Emerging18:10 - Family, Low Time Preference, and Bitcoin21:43 - Robinhood, Meme Coins, and Marginal Speculators24:23 - Prediction Markets as Sports Betting Arbitrage26:52 - Why Self-Custody Efforts Often Fail28:27 - El Salvador Bitcoin Adoption Wins and Losses34:07 - Why Nations Avoid Copying El Salvador38:06 - Bitcoin as America's Most American Tech40:17 - Dollar's Structural Deficit Trap Explained41:12 - China's Gold and Bitcoin Dollar Debasement45:49 - Why Jack Glad Clarity Act Failed47:53 - Fix: End World Reserve Currency Status49:18 - Bitcoin Not Medium of Exchange First55:20 - AI Threat to Open Source Security57:33 - Open Source Alone Does Not Secure1:02:09 - Just Use Bitcoin Core for Security1:08:37 - Jack on Leaving Twenty One and Authenticity1:14:47 - What Strike Is Building Now1:20:04 - Closing Message to BitcoinersGuest: Jack Mallers of Strike

Gary Brode joins Marty Bent to break down his month in El Salvador and the new white paper making the case that Bitcoin is officially a currency. They dig into Nayib Bukele's controversial rule, why the Federal Reserve no longer controls long-term interest rates, and why government overspending — not central bank policy — is driving persistent inflation. Brode also explains his shift from OpenAI to Anthropic, his bet on Intel and AMD as AI moves from training to inference, and why uranium and energy assets round out his portfolio alongside Bitcoin, gold, and silver.

En 1987, Centroamérica llevaba años destrozándose en guerras civiles: Nicaragua, El Salvador y Guatemala sangraban por conflictos que parecían no tener salida. El presidente de Costa Rica, Óscar Arias, propuso algo que sonaba casi ingenuo en medio de tanta violencia: sentar a los cinco presidentes de la región en una misma mesa y hacerlos firmar un compromiso de paz. Lo lograron. El 7 de agosto de 1987, en la ciudad guatemalteca de Esquipulas, los presidentes de Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua y Costa Rica firmaron el acuerdo que llevaría el nombre de Arias. No resolvió todo de inmediato, pero marcó el principio del fin de guerras que llevaban años consumiendo la región. Ese mismo año, Arias recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz. Costa Rica llegó a esa mesa con una ventaja que pocos recordaban. Había abolido su propio ejército casi cuarenta años antes. No negociaba la paz desde la fuerza, sino desde la convicción de que ya la había elegido primero para sí misma. El Señor Jesús llamó bienaventurados a los que hacen la paz, no a los que solamente la desean. Hacerla cuesta, casi siempre, sentarse con quien parece imposible sentarse. La Biblia dice en Romanos 12:18: "Si es posible, en cuanto dependa de vosotros, estad en paz con todos los hombres". (RV1960).

Joshua Hunter reviews Problemista, Julio Torres' surrealist comedy and feature directorial debut, in which he stars as Alejandro, an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador struggling to bring his strange, imaginative ideas to life in the Big Apple. With his work visa running out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast (Tilda Swinton) becomes his only shot at staying in the country. Joshua breaks down whether Torres' off-kilter comedic voice and dreamlike take on the U.S. hits as intended, digs into Swinton's chaotic performance(which is maybe a career highlight), and gives his honest verdict on this A24 indie darling that flew under a lot of people's radar despite an insanely stacked cast including RZA, Greta Lee, and Isabella Rossellini as narrator.

Eight Ecuadorian fishermen vanished. Two other fishing boats were hit by explosive drones. Survivors say armed men hooded and detained them before they were taken toward El Salvador. Then investigators uncovered a mysterious surveillance aircraft, and reporting linked the attacks to a covert CIA operation.

Hear about travel to El Salvador as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jayne Dear, author of Tales of a Traveller in Central America, about her journey through this small but surprisingly diverse Central American country. Jayne describes El Salvador as a “hidden gem,” with dramatic volcanic scenery, forested highlands, coffee plantations, colorful towns, inexpensive transportation, friendly people, and some of the best-value travel she encountered in Central America. The country has 23 volcanoes, and Jayne says it often seems as though every town has one looming over it. For travelers with one week in El Salvador, Jayne recommends concentrating primarily on the western part of the country, with time in Santa Ana, Lake Coatepeque, the Santa Ana Volcano, the Ruta de las Flores, and San Salvador. Travelers who prefer the beach could substitute a couple of days at El Tunco. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-el-salvador-2/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Would you put your kids in public schools in El Salvador, 40 to a class and no English spoken, to give them a future you couldn't see in Canada? Charity Hagenaars did. Her family of five lives on $3,000 to $3,500 a month, and if you've searched cost of living in El Salvador you've probably seen her videos on living in El Salvador. What you can't see from a video is whether rent in El Salvador comes with a stove, or whether a public school takes report cards printed in Ontario.I sat down with Charity, a retired Canadian government worker, former foster parent, and YouTuber who moved her family from Ontario to Lourdes in August 2024. Her $850 house has four bedrooms and sits in a complex with pools and soccer fields, where six families of expats living in El Salvador have built a small community. Getting there meant Marketplace listings that were photos of posters on telephone poles, and leases where leaving early costs the full year.Car shopping took a friend, a mechanic, and seven phone numbers, because the Chivo ATM caps withdrawals at $1,000 a day per number and she needed $7,000 in cash for a car she ended up passing on. Opening a bank account took a residency card and an hour in the waiting room, and then Banco Agrícola made her wait three months before YouTube could wire her a dollar. Bitcoin and Wise carried the family's money down instead. She'll also tell you what happened at Dollar City when the cashier skipped Lightning.The school story is the honest one. Her daughter got the same classmates two years running, was bullied, and stopped learning, so she's in a homeschool hub now. Her older son is out too, halfway through grade 11. Charity funded the school's parking lot and paint through her channel anyway. Then there's the spare bedroom. Two months ago Maria, the grandmother of two boys from Charity's Saturday English class, lost her home, and Charity offered the room. The boys swim every day.Her WhatsApp group grew to almost 200 members, about 30% already here, four more arriving this week. Some came to retire in El Salvador on a pension, and young families came because they couldn't see a future where they were. If you want an expat El Salvador group that screens out the salesmen, she runs one. Charity describes what it costs a foreigner to live here so nobody arrives with the wrong picture, then chose to stay and put eight people under one roof. That's what belief in this country looks like!

The fight over the future is rapidly unfolding before our eyes. With debates roiling Washington over calls to rein in artificial intelligence before it's too late as the U.S. continues to wage official and unofficial wars around the world, many of the world's most powerful players are licking their chops. Yes, there's destruction all around. But these players have carefully concocted a plan: to hasten a familiar vision that combines biblical, militant, and futuristic images of the end times so they can save themselves.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Akela Lacy interviews award-winning authors and documentarians Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor, whose new book, "End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World," maps the players who want to speed up the end of the world. “We didn't feel that the old ways of understanding who Trump is, what he's trying to accomplish — even what fascism is — was fully capturing what we were seeing. Here we're thinking about invading Greenland, declaring Canada the 51st state, creating an ICE army, the relationship with El Salvador's maximum-security prisons. So we're trying to map this,” says Klein. It seemed to be “a fascism that had no vision of our world continuing. There's always an apocalyptic quality to fascism, but there is a horizon for the in-group after the cataclysm, and we weren't seeing that in this politics. It was much more about bunkering down in and taking breakdown for granted.”“End times fascism is an alliance of three main components,” says Taylor. The religious fundamentalists who helped elect Donald Trump, wanting to hasten along a violent Armageddon so Jesus will return. The tech accelerationists “exalting in the possibility that some sort of super intelligence, some sort of digital being might take over.” The ethnonationalists who view immigration as an existential threat, so they fortress the border and hoard resources. “These different prongs find a kind of uneasy alliance in their conviction that this world's going to hell and that their group will survive the wreckage,” says Taylor.It may sound bizarre. And it is. But that doesn't mean we should ignore it, Klein says. “This is a really dangerous pattern of thought: that out of the worst things possible comes the beautiful, glorious golden city. And that's the template of all of these action films and video games, and it leads one to embrace the worst and to not fear what we should fear,” says Klein. “When Trump shares a video of a remade Gaza with a Trump Tower, he's doing a version of that story. When Sam Altman says he's summoning a digital god, and we're going to have utopia with AI, and yeah, let me cover the whole world with data centers and accelerate the climate crisis because it's going to be utopia ... he's doing the story. So we have to be able to identify it because we're all living with the consequences of this terrible story and we need better stories.”“In this moment, we're up against a fascism that is against all humans in a way. We quote Kelly Hayes, an activist based in Chicago, and she says, ‘Every fascism has its subhumans, and for techno-fascists, it's just humans in general.' This is opening up a bigger fight beyond ‘I am a man' to just like, this is life versus the machines, and there's something very unprecedented about that and potentially very unifying,” says Taylor, noting that the collective uprising, across the political spectrum, against data centers shows people breaking free of one so-called inevitable future.Full transcript: https://interc.pt/3V3fTuMKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Lawfare Senior Editors Kevin Frazier and Roger Parloff, and Lawfare Contributing Editor and Vice President of Research, Security and Defense at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Ariane Tabatabai, to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“P(doom) and Gloom.” Last week, a wonky corner of the tech world became national news when Jacob Coxon, a 27-year-old pretraining researcher, resigned from Anthropic and posted a viral thread accusing his employer and its rival OpenAI of racing toward self-improving superintelligence and “gambling with our lives.” His warning was quickly amplified by current Anthropic staff—and, days later, by CEO Dario Amodei himself, who published a lengthy essay urging the industry to slow down, drawing rare public agreement from Sam Altman and Elon Musk, a slide in AI stocks, and fresh calls for regulation in Washington. Is this the moment AI-safety fears finally broke into the mainstream? And should the rest of us be as worried as the people building these systems say they are?“Trains, Planes, and Provocations.” Tensions along NATO's eastern flank are spiking over an increasing number of Russian provocations in and near NATO territory relating to the Ukraine conflict. Recent examples have included an explosives-laden drone at a German airport, another drone shot down in Lithuanian airspace, and repeated incursions into Poland and Romania related to border and port facilities adjacent to Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte pledged to bolster the alliance's defenses and insisted the West won't be “scared” off of supporting Kyiv, even as Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that the coming months could bring intensified Russian action and possible spillover onto NATO soil. Is this a deliberate campaign by Russia to test and divide the alliance? And how much escalation risk does it actually carry?“Seeking the Plane Truth.” On September 29, the full D.C. Circuit will hear en banc arguments in what may be one of the most consequential rule-of-law fights of Trump's second term: whether Chief Judge James Boasberg may investigate who in the administration defied his March 2025 order to turn around planes carrying Venezuelan men to El Salvador's CECOT prison under the Alien Enemies Act. While Boasberg found probable cause for criminal contempt, panels dominated by Trump appointees have twice blocked him from doing so—with the Justice Department, whose own senior officials are reportedly implicated in some of the relevant discussions, arguing that all a judge may do is refer the matter to the Department itself to decide whether to investigate and prosecute.

By now, many of us are familiar with the realities of the Trump administration's violent campaign of mass deportations. But how often do we listen to the stories of some of the most vulnerable victims—young children and teenagers separated from their families? Gabrielle Oliveira, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, did just that. For her ethnographic study Now We Are Here, she followed sixteen migrant families from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and her native Brazil from 2018 to 2021.  All of Oliveira's subjects experienced some form of family separation as a result of U.S. immigration policy under Donald Trump. Yet all also managed to remain in the United States, where their educational journeys remain the single most important factor in their lives.  On this episode, Oliveira speaks with Commonweal Director of Mission and Partnership Claudia Avila Cosnahan about how these families have metabolized the trauma of separation. Plus, Commonweal Senior Correspondent Heidi Schlumpf speaks with Dominic Preziosi about the latest in Catholic news, including the midterms, new Catholic converts, and the U.S. Bishops' pointed letter to Donald Trump on behalf of Haitians living in the United States.

Welcome to The Unconventional Path: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Stories and Ideas. In this episode, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman dive into the world of global workforce strategies with nearshoring expert Brian Samson, founder of Plug Technologies.For decades, American companies looking to outsource have immediately focused on Asia for manufacturing, call centers, and IT development. However, massive time zone disparities, long feedback cycles, and distinct cultural differences frequently slow business operations down. Brian explains how nearshoring to Latin American countries offers a massive advantage by providing highly skilled, gritty, and English-proficient talent that works the exact same hours as the United States.If you are an entrepreneur looking for staff augmentation, navigating remote workforce management, or wanting to understand how international talent markets are shifting, this episode delivers a blueprint on how to expand your business strategically.Key Concepts Discussed in This EpisodeOffshoring vs. Nearshoring: While traditional offshoring shifts labor across oceans to massive manufacturing hubs like China or IT centers like India, nearshoring targets developing countries directly shared in or close to your own time zone. The Latin American Talent Advantage: Sourcing talent from Latin America aligns directly with US business cultures. Professionals exhibit strong critical thinking skills, possess high fluency in US-style English, and feature exceptional "grit" forged from navigating localized economic volatility. Regional Specializations: Sourcing tech talent has evolved far beyond basic bug-fixing. Mexico has blossomed into a production and engineering manufacturing giant, Argentina serves as a hub for full-stack product development, and regions in Brazil are producing world-class AI and data engineers. Meanwhile, Central American countries like Nicaragua and El Salvador are rising as highly competitive options for virtual assistants and back-office call centers. The Staffing Model vs. Solutions Model: Brian details why small businesses thrive using a staff augmentation approach, which allows founders direct communication and total flexibility over product roadmaps, compared to rigid fixed-price project outsourcing agencies. Mitigating International Legal Risks: Sourcing global talent independently introduces complex foreign employment laws, contract compliance issues, and currency exchange friction. Working with an established employer of record (EOR) lets US entities confidently manage remote teams via simple monthly invoicing. Takeaways for Business LeadersBela and Mike wrap up the episode discussing the ongoing debate of going global vs. staying local. While cultivating community talent is incredibly valuable, leveraging international trade networks allows growing startups to dynamically build resilient supply chains. Furthermore, incorporating team members located in foreign countries doesn't just reduce operational budgets—it opens crucial regional doors for future international market entry.As a special addition to the interview, Brian highlights his personal passion as a licensed foster parent, sharing heartfelt advice on how leaders can look into local social services to support children within foster care networks.Connect With the Hosts & GuestBela and Mike's Email: bela.and.mike@gmail.comBrian Samson's Website: plug.co Brian's Podcast: The Nearshore Cafe PodcastIf you found this conversation valuable, please remember to hit that LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE to our channel on YouTube or your favorite podcasting app. Leaving a review helps other innovative leaders discover the show!

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Neil Bortolus, founder of Esteem Biomechanics and Stewart's personal trainer for the past year and a half, to explore the intersection of functional movement, human biology, and emerging technology. Their conversation ranges from the principles of biomechanics and the evolutionary blueprint of human movement—standing, walking, running, and throwing—to the dangers of modern movement practices that prioritize aesthetics over function, the role of fascia and connective tissue in chronic pain, and why most gym exercises fail to respect our biological needs. They tackle bigger questions about where technology is taking us, from AI and LLMs replacing human cognitive work to transhumanism and whether we're headed toward a cyberpunk dystopia or a solarpunk regenerative future, all while emphasizing the importance of first principles thinking, the need for humans to remain in the loop, and creating environments that promote biological and mental regeneration rather than degeneration. Visit Neil's website atesteembiomechanics.comTimestamps00:00 Stewart introduces Neil Bortolus, founder of Esteem Biomechanics and his trainer for a year and a half, discussing their interesting conversations about movement and health05:00 Discussion shifts to negative and positive pressure in the body, how athletes naturally create proper core tension, and the differences between training high-performance athletes versus clients with cerebral palsy or stroke recovery10:00 Stewart shares his journey through yoga and discovering modern postural yoga's surprising origins in late 1800s British calisthenics mixed with Indian anticolonial movements, questioning why modern movement practices are fundamentally flawed15:00 Neil explains functional patterns' first principles approach, emphasizing standing walking running and throwing as evolutionary movement patterns that should guide all exercise design20:00 Conversation explores Brian Johnson's technology-focused longevity experiments versus optimizing natural biological function, questioning whether peak biology or technology interventions lead to better health outcomes25:00 Neil describes environmental factors like Southern California and Hawaii providing optimal conditions for human health through fresh food, sunlight, and natural grounding environments year-round30:00 Discussion of solarpunk versus cyberpunk futures, examining how technology could either support biological health or create dependency, with Stewart sharing his Invisalign experience as cautionary tale35:00 Neil and Stewart analyze education systems, influencer marketing, and Jacques Ellul's concept of technique autonomously taking over human goals and replacing both muscle and mental labor40:00 Neil questions Stewart's first principles for approaching technology, leading to discussion about using AI to accomplish tasks faster while maintaining human oversight and decision-making authority45:00 Stewart explains the black box problem with LLMs and neural networks, admitting he's built applications he can't fully understand, questioning whether understanding mechanisms matters if outputs work50:00 Debate about benevolent AI governance using El Salvador's transformation as analogy, questioning whether society should surrender control to AI systems for farming or other critical infrastructure55:00 Final discussion on determinism versus free will, alignment problems in AI development, and Neil's concept of regenerative versus degenerative environments for optimal human biological and mental healthKey Insights1. Movement training must be adapted to individual needs and capabilities rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. Neil explains that working with clients ranging from those with cerebral palsy and stroke recovery to high-performance athletes requires fundamentally different techniques. While stroke and cerebral palsy clients experience every improvement as monumental, such as being able to walk a mile, elite athletes already possess optimal biomechanics and need only tiny refinements. The challenge lies in keeping athletes motivated through detailed adjustments while helping severely impaired clients build basic functions from the ground up.2. Modern fitness and yoga practices are built on flawed first principles that prioritize aesthetics over functional movement. The conversation reveals how modern postural yoga was actually invented in the late 1800s through a combination of British calisthenics and Indian anticolonial movements, not ancient wisdom as commonly believed. Similarly, conventional gym exercises and bodybuilding focus on how bodies look rather than how they function evolutionarily. The key insight from Functional Patterns methodology is that if a technique cannot help someone who is broken, it should not be applied to someone who is healthy. This principle exposes how much of modern fitness is based on working with people who are already genetically gifted rather than developing universally applicable methods.3. Human movement should be designed around four fundamental patterns that reflect our evolutionary blueprint: standing, walking, running, and throwing. These movements represent the biomechanical demands that shaped human evolution and remain essential for optimal health. Hunter-gatherer tribes that still exist today demonstrate this principle, as their members typically exhibit athletic builds, low body fat, minimal injury rates, and few mental health disorders despite having no access to modern gyms. The critical insight is that 80 percent of human movement occurs horizontally through space rather than vertically, yet most conventional exercises focus on vertical force vectors like squatting and deadlifting, which do not align with how humans actually move in nature.4. Technology should be used to optimize our environment for biological health rather than replace biological function entirely. The discussion contrasts two approaches to human enhancement: using technology to create better living conditions versus using it to bypass the need for healthy habits. Examples include using renewable energy to reduce electromagnetic frequency exposure, ensuring clean water access, and designing indoor lighting that mimics natural sunlight patterns. The key is maintaining environments that support regenerative rather than degenerative processes. This regenerative approach considers whether food, exercise, and environmental factors promote cellular regeneration and joint health, rather than simply preventing obvious harm.5. The rapidly changing technological environment is outpacing human biological adaptation in unprecedented ways. While human populations historically had thousands of years to develop epigenetic adaptations to their environments, such as Icelandic peoples developing larger bodies for heat retention or Sub-Saharan Africans developing efficient heat expulsion, modern society changes too quickly for such adaptation. The past two hundred years have seen dramatic shifts, and the pace is accelerating rather than slowing. Most dramatically, the media environment is changing fastest of all, particularly with AI development creating a cognitive flywheel where staying current requires constant attention to collective knowledge networks like Twitter and Reddit, leaving those outside these loops increasingly disconnected from technological reality.6. AI and large language models represent both opportunity and risk depending on whether humans maintain agency in their use. The conversation distinguishes between using AI as a tool to accomplish tasks more efficiently while keeping humans in control versus allowing AI to make decisions autonomously. The example given involves using AI to complete projects that previously required hiring people, eliminating interpersonal problems while still maintaining human oversight and learning. However, there is concern that many people are beginning to ask AI how to make every decision, effectively abdicating their agency. The critical variable in any AI interaction is actually the human prompter and their instructions, yet this is often overlooked by AI developers who believe in determinism and lack of free will.7. Modern society operates within a deterministic framework where free will is exercised primarily in choosing which constrained environment to inhabit. Using the example of an accountant earning two hundred thousand dollars annually with a four hundred thousand dollar mortgage and three children in private school, Neil illustrates how most daily decisions are predetermined by earlier choices about environment and commitments. True free will exists at major life forks, such as choosing a career path or living situation, but day to day existence operates within deterministic constraints created by those choices. This insight applies to both human development and AI alignment, suggesting that the solution is not giving AI ultimate freedom but rather constraining its environment so that available options consistently benefit humanity, similar to how Functional Patterns constrains exercise choices to only those respecting biological blueprints.
