Adam and Ethan discuss the precipitous drop in murder rates in the country of El Salvador, rumors that it's all the result of secret deals between the government and the gangs, and the journalists who were forced to flee the country after reporting on those deals.

David Waldman is back to the KITM World Headquarters Microphone after a weekend of less doofus behavior by Donald K. Trump. Of course, all things being relative. Greg Dworkin is here to offer his pre-election foresight ahead of his post-election hindsight this Wednesday. Republicans in rupture! If Republicans want to learn things the hard way, why turn them down? A tsunami is building, and not the scary kind that shows up in Japan, but the kind that has Gops stacking sandbags. Miami hasn't had a Democratic mayor in almost 30 years, but that is looking to change. It might be a change in the US political "mood", or it could be that Gop voters are tired of seeing friends and family being shipped out of town. Latino Trump voters are having some sense pounded into them by ICE agents. Zohran Mamdanimentum might carry some NYC immigrants out of danger, but elsewhere immigrants are being plucked out of line by the nation to which they were just about to pledge allegiance. Trump hopes to ship half of Europe down to El Salvador soon. Trump can't sell Americans on his "affordability is a hoax" hoax, probably because people aren't dumb, and they'd have to be pretty dumb to not notice their health care and homes disappearing. Donald will slip farmers $12 billion in taxpayer money to look the other way. Even Steven KG Bannon can see the Trump reserve of stupid people becoming depleted. Trump's own mortgages match his description of mortgage fraud. That's just him being smart. Tom Cotton envies those that can hang out on their boat in the middle of a beautiful Caribbean night, just looking up at the stars and drones, not a care in the world except for funding/fighting their narcoterrorist overthrow of the United States. That's the life!
"Si hoy piensas dormir tranquilo… espera a escuchar la entidad que se acercaba mientras la víctima veía su propio cuerpo en la cama.”Prepárate para un LIVE EXTRA ANORMAL único, donde recopilamos historias reales que desafían la lógica, el sueño y la realidad misma. Esta noche viajamos por California, El Salvador, Tamaulipas y México, siguiendo encuentros con entidades, niños que no eran humanos, sueños que no eran sueños y animales que parecían entender demasiado.Un jardinero latino entra a la casa de un cliente demasiado pálido… y encuentra a una niña con ojos enormes, perros que ya estaban muertos y miradas que no parecían humanas.Adolescentes que entran de madrugada a un panteón… pero no todos salen.Parálisis del sueño, golpes en la oscuridad y una entidad que se acerca hasta que él ve su propio cuerpo acostado.El misionero que oró por un muerto: sueños de tortura, una voz que no deja pronunciar el nombre de Dios y un espíritu que solo él podía ver.El niño de manta: la infancia de Mariel cambia para siempre cuando un niño extraño le bloquea el paso… y poco después desaparece un amigo.El rancho en Tamaulipas: una cerda cantando una canción de cuna, un abuelo aterrado y un destino sellado.Cada historia es real. Cada testimonio fue vivido.¿Estás listo para escuchar lo que ellos vivieron… y quizá tú no podrías soportar?Canal de mis invitados: @SeRegalanSustos
Recorded in the middle of Bitcoin Month, this episode brings together Knut Svanholm, Giacomo Zucco, Mike Peterson, and Jethro Toro in El Zonte, El Salvador. They unpack what it feels like to live through Bitcoin Historico at the National Palace San Salvador, Adopting Bitcoin in San Salvador, and the Bitcoin Beach Festival on the coast. From free pupusas and packed plazas to barefoot plebs and kids everywhere, you get a ground-level view of why El Salvador still feels like Bitcoin Country after the El Salvador legal tender law and why so many Bitcoiners keep coming back.The crew shared the story everyone asks about, their surreal invitation to a formal dinner with President Bukele. Giacomo explains how he gifted a bottle of Dictador rum, they talk about Bukele's quick jokes about Libertarian anarchism and public sector jobs, and they explain what was actually discussed about Bitcoin adoption, circular economy experiments, and bottom-up projects like Bitcoin Beach and Bitcoin Berlin. It is not a press release, it is what it felt like for plebs and authors like Knut Svanholm and educators like Giacomo Zucco to suddenly find themselves at a presidential table with Max Keiser & Stacy Herbert and other Bitcoin builders.They also go deep on the work behind the scenes. Mike Peterson shares an update on Bitcoin Beach and the push to launch at least 14 new circular economy projects across El Salvador, plus the new Bitcoin-themed boutique hotel, the Citadel of Hope, and a pickleball court in Punta Mango. Giacomo walks through the three pillars of Plan B Network, global Bitcoin education like Cubo Plus and Node Nation, physical hubs in places such as Lugano, London, and future hubs in San Salvador, and an emerging Bitcoin venture path and startup support. Along the way, they touch on the IMF pressure, how the government stayed committed through bear markets after El Salvador, legal tender went live, and why ideas like Libertarian socialism still get a fair hearing in off-the-record debates.Running through the episode is the culture piece. Knut talks about his books, the Bitcoin Infinity framing, his talks at Bitcoin Historico inside the National Palace San Salvador, and why Adopting Bitcoin feels more like a festival than a standard conference. The group tells the origin story of Satoshi Rokamoto, the improvised Bitcoin rock band that now shows up at events from Mexico to Lugano, often playing long after the sound crew tries to shut things down. If you care about Bitcoin in El Salvador, circular economy models, or just want to know what it is really like on the ground during Bitcoin Month, this conversation will probably make you start checking flights.If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a Bitcoiner who has El Salvador on their list, leave a comment with your favorite story from Bitcoin Month, and hit subscribe so you do not miss the next chapter of Bitcoin Country.-Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Giacomo, Knut, Jethro:Giacomo ZuccoX: https://x.com/giacomozucco Web: https://www.giacomozucco.com/ Knut SvanholmX: https://x.com/knutsvanholm YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BitcoinInfinityShow Jethro ToroX: https://x.com/JethroToro Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: Live From Bitcoin Beach

After a bombshell report that the U.S. military targeted and killed shipwrecked survivors of a Venezuelan boat strike, Congressional lawmakers from both sides of the aisle announced they'd be investigating the potentially illegal act. Asha and Renato speak with NYU law professor Ryan Goodman to find out if the Trump administration committed a war crime and who could be held accountable. Plus, they cover the latest developments in a federal judge's attempt to hold DHS officials in contempt for defying his order to return Venezuelan migrants being deported to an El Salvador prison.

Eugene Hasenfus died this week. He had been part of a covert operation to supply weapons to the anti-Sandinista group known as the "contras." As part of this activity, he was in an airplane shot down over Nicaragua while doing an arms delivery. His capture exposed a massive scheme by the U.S. government to sell arms to Iran in exchange for freeing U.S. hostages taken by pro-Iranian militias in Beirut and use the money to fund the contras war against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. It became known as the "Iran-contra" affair, or "Iran-contraGate." It reached the highest levels in the U.S. government. And led to a number of convictions (and, later, presidential pardons.)In our latest, we look into the history of Reagan's wars in Central America, the Iran-contra scandal and subversion as foreign policy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Two closely watched surveys of U.S. manufacturing activity painted sharply divergent pictures in November, with one showing continued expansion and the other reporting accelerating contraction, highlighting deep uncertainty about the sector's health amid ongoing adjustment to the new rules of global trade. The S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI registered 52.2 in November, marking the fourth consecutive month above the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. However, the reading slipped from 52.5 in October. By contrast, the ISM Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.2, down from 48.7 in October and marking the ninth consecutive month of contraction. The divergence places the two surveys on opposite sides of the expansion-contraction divide, an unusual occurrence that suggests significantly different conditions across the manufacturing landscape. https://twitter.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1995904464625000594?s=20 the national debt.

These developments come as Maduro appeared before a crowd near the presidential palace, affirming his “absolute loyalty” to the Venezuelan people, surrounded by senior officials in his government. Source: iraqidinarchat.net Trump's Latin American Allies Against Venezuela alliances are shaping up in the Caribbean, with many countries abandoning Venezuela and supporting the United States. Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro is becoming increasingly isolated as regional governments shift away from Chavismo and move closer to Washington. Honduras and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, once reliable partners for Caracas, have both elected new governments that pledged to distance themselves from Maduro. Honduras Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Bolivia have also deteriorated as those countries shifted to the right. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, both U.S. territories, have seen a renewed military buildup, with fighter jets and transport aircraft operating from Cold War-era facilities such as Roosevelt Roads and new activity at St. Croix's airport. Grenada is considering a U.S. request to host temporary radar equipment and personnel at Maurice Bishop International Airport. The government is still weighing technical and safety concerns, and the decision is complicated by the 1983 U.S. invasion and the airport's symbolic significance. Colombia remains the strongest partner, working closely with the United States on counter-narcotics, sanctions enforcement, and intelligence sharing, while also coordinating policy on the region's largest population of Venezuelan refugees. Paraguay and Uruguay consistently vote with Washington at the OAS to isolate Maduro and support democratic transition efforts. Ecuador works with the United States on organized crime, Venezuelan gang activity, and sanctions evasion, and has been publicly critical of the regime. Maduro's remaining allies in the region are Cuba and Nicaragua, but neither is positioned to provide meaningful assistance.

On December 1, the Trump administration dismissed eight immigration judges at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan for patterns of excessive asylum approvals, refusal to enforce statutory standards and unmanageable processing delays. This brings Trump's total removals to 90 judges nationwide. The administration says the effort is necessary to dismantle the pipeline of activist judges who reward illegal entry with near-automatic asylum approvals. Conservatives call it long-overdue accountability; opponents concede the judges had serious performance issues. https://twitter.com/DC_Draino/status/1995586287064039445?s=20 witnessing a Judicial Insurrection.

This week is the anniversary of two events which define the State in the U.S., both in the past and today. In 1969, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Chicago Police Dept. assassinated Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and his associate Mark Clark while they slept in Hampton's home. Hampton had been an up and coming, inspiring, leader in the Chicago community and worked to build coalition with a variety of groups in the area. The FBI had viewed Hampton as a potential “messiah,” who needed to be “neutralized.” When the COINTELPRO program was exposed, it was clear that the FBI had worked to eliminate domestic enemies like Hampton and the Black Panther Party. In 1980, the rape and murder of four Catholic missionary nuns by U.S. backed death squads sparked international outrage and criticism of President Carter's support for the government in El Salvador. Carter initially suspended aid to the regime, he later reinstated it, and President Reagan continued this support. Later in the 1990s, when documents were declassified revealing the extent to which the U.S. support torture and terror campaigns, former NJ congressman Robert Torricelli said that it was "now clear that while the Reagan Administration was certifying human rights progress in El Salvador they knew the terrible truth that the Salvadoran military was engaged in a widespread campaign of terror and torture".Despite a history of these events, the movement continues. As Hampton said, "You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution."In 2025, the Trump administration is sending ICE to terrorize undocumented people in communities across the country, designating dissidents as "terrorists" and provoking war with Venezuela. We also just recently witnessed "blowback" from Salvadoran style death squads in Afghanistan with the shooting of national guard solders in Washington D.C. Here's an encore of our episode from 2020 discussing the terrible events. Much to learn from this history. ---------------------------
Is President Trump weaponizing the National Guard shooting in Washington, D.C., to further his immigration agenda? In an excerpt from this week's Insider episode, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down Trump's latest plan to pause all migration from what he's calling “third world countries,” after an Afghan man shot two members of the West Virginia National Guard, killing one of them. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss: – A federal judge's inquiry into whether the Trump administration defied his orders when it carried out deportation flights to El Salvador; and – The legal challenges to Texas's new gerrymandered congressional map.

Como miles de otras personas, Mikael es un joven venezolano que migró hacia los Estados Unidos buscando una mejor vida. Estaba en pleno proceso migratorio cuando unos hombres de Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tocaron a su puerta. Lo que él viviría los meses posteriores sería algo sin precedentes en los Estados Unidos. Una versión parcial de esta historia se publicó en inglés en el podcast This American Life. Se titula Solving For Where. Escúchala aquí. En nuestro sitio web puedes encontrar una transcripción del episodio. Or you can also check this English translation.
This week we dove into a wild mix of global news, culture, and pop-chaos. From Nigeria's controversial move to phase out indigenous languages in schools to El Salvador's harsh criminalization of miscarriages, we unpack the politics shaping real lives. We also get into Juelz Santana's viral “kids don't need to read” take, new research claiming adolescence lasts until 32, and Ray J's latest unpredictable behavior. Plus, Kandi and Todd's divorce announcement, Ciara's sit-down with Kelly & La La, and the drama around Summer Walker's “side-chick” talk and Wale's new album. And of course, we crown our Olodo of the Week: Burna Boy. It's everything trending, everything messy, and everything you need to know this week.
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin help us start the month, week and day off right. You read it here first! (Unless you read it over at The Intercept a few hours earlier.) The United States… that's us... We blew up a boat with 11 people in it, then we circled around and we murdered all the survivors. We have murdered at least 83 in boats… Most of the world understands that is wrong, and we might have stopped murdering the swimmers, which we might all agree is somehow even more reprehensible. But we didn't just decide that was bad yesterday, we always knew that was a bad thing to do. Except of course for Pete Hegseth, who we, or at least some of us, hired to not do an evil job. Hic-seth thought that this was really funny at first but sobered up quickly to transfer the blame to his soldiers. Donald K. Trump doesn't know a "Hegseth", but if you write it at the bottom of the check, he'll pardon him. Juan Orlando Hernández made millions as president, raping Honduras in partnership with El Chapo while creating one of the largest drug-trafficking organizations in the world and was sentenced to 45 years. Oh well. Alina Habba, one of the biggest Trump's lawyers, is out as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. Sure, Kristi Noem disregarded court orders to send Venezuelans to El Salvador, but that wouldn't be against the law if judges didn't say so. No one needs more ballroom less than Trump and even his architect says so. Do reactionaries just feel left out? Trump has almost reached Jan 6 levels of unpopularity, and Republicans are feeling it. Another Gop seat could be flipped in Tennessee tomorrow, as they plan to redistrict Nashville away. One Republican Senator in Indiana drew the line on Trump insulting his daughter, while another wasn't swayed by swatting and doxxing. and yet another by a pipe bomb. Meanwhile, Troy Nehls of Texas feels now should be when he spends more time with his family.
In this wide-ranging episode, Burning Bright and guest GMoney dive into the explosive connections between Bitcoin, global finance, and the engineered collapse of old power structures. They explore the revelations from Max Keiser's interview, the theory that El Salvador's Bitcoin adoption was part of a coordinated sovereign strategy, and why Bitcoin's architecture mirrors a spiritual awakening as much as an economic one. From there, they break down the crumbling narratives around legacy banking, CBDCs, the IMF, and how elites appear to be intentionally detonating the old fiat system to consolidate control on the way down. GMoney brings in the psychedelic perspective on consciousness shifts, while BB ties it all to the behaviors of the managerial class, the “clown world” psycosphere, and the unmistakable signs of a reality split underway. Together they examine digital identity traps, weaponized crises, and why parallel economies, and parallel minds, may be the only way forward. A dense, philosophical, and highly energetic conversation connecting global finance, culture, spirituality, and the war for human autonomy.
Ep 190 w/ Dave Seminara - Inside South Africa, Lesotho & Eswatini: Dave's Ultimate African Adventure GuideIn this week's episode, I sit down once again with writer, journalist, YouTuber and seasoned traveller Dave Seminara, who has just returned from an epic journey across South Africa, Eswatini and Lesotho. This conversation dives deep into one of the most fascinating regions on the planet, and Dave takes us right into the heart of it—through national parks, vibrant townships, mountain kingdoms and some unforgettable encounters along the way.We start in Cape Town, where Dave shares his experience navigating one of the world's most spectacular cities, from its dramatic geography and unpredictable weather to the realities of inequality and the history woven into its suburbs. He takes us for a raw and honest look at the Cape Flats, where he met community leaders working to interrupt gang violence and support local youth. It's eye-opening, powerful and adds an important layer to any understanding of South Africa.From there, Dave describes the magic of going on safari for the first time, including what it's like to stay on a restored luxury train in Kruger National Park, the thrill of spotting wildlife up close, and why safari is both the most rewarding and unpredictable style of travel. He shares practical tips on budget, expectations and what to do when your game drive luck runs cold. We also talk about the difference between national parks and private game reserves, the food (which sounds absolutely unbelievable), and the guides who bring the whole experience to life.Dave then takes us into the Drakensberg Mountains for hikes, ancient Bushmen rock art and one of the most unique lodge stays he's ever experienced. And of course, we cross borders into Eswatini and Lesotho, exploring the logistics, the culture and why both mini-kingdoms are absolutely worth adding to any Southern Africa itinerary.This episode is packed with insights for anyone dreaming of Africa, planning a first visit or simply curious about what travel looks like beyond the iconic highlights. Dave brings his humour, honesty and deep curiosity, and by the end you'll understand why this trip made him rethink his entire travel focus.If you enjoy the episode, please rate and review the podcast on your favourite app and subscribe on YouTube—every bit of support helps the show grow.

Hey everyone, I wanted to let you all know that I'll be giving online classes starting this January, and that I'm still accepting new people for the very first class. I recommend doing so asap as I've already had to open up a second class due to that amazing response I've received so far. All details below.The class is entitled “Beware of Small States: An overview of Lebanon from 1975 to 2025.” We will go beyond sensationalist headlines and shallow coverage, and beyond simplistic, top-down explanations for the country. Instead of a linear timeline of events, which you can get from Wikipedia anyway, you will get a messy one. After all, politics is not linear. Political actors evoke events from the recent or not-so-recent past as part of their politics in the present. In addition to the structured syllabus, I will use personal stories as someone who grew up in Lebanon in a very conservative, at times even Far Right, Christian environment, to explain how my own personal journey away from right-wing and towards left-wing, quasi-anarchist, politics has helped me understand Lebanon better, and hopefully help you too.RegisterJust send me an email at ayoub@thefirethesetimes.com or a Signal message @ ayoub.02. I will send you the syllabus as well as all the required details including how to pay for the class if you're interested in taking it.When? Weekly from Saturday Jan 17th, 4pm UK time. 5 sessions. Week 1 (Jan 17): The stories we tell ourselves about this painfully ordinary country.Week 2 (Jan 24): Five academic-y concepts that are easier to understand than they seem.Week 3 (Jan 31): We Are the Children of the Children of War.Week 4 (Feb 7): From Life in the Midst of History to The CollapseWeek 5 (Feb 14): Lebanon yesterday, today, tomorrowFees: $300Discounts: For Hauntologies (my newsletter) subscribers (past or present)50% off for paid subscribers100% off for Founding MembersAnyone joining the class will get:Access to all 5 sessionsLifetime access to the Google DriveLifetime access to the Hauntologies newsletter without paying extra (subscribers pay $50 a year on average)Discounts on future classesAn invitation to join a Signal groupMore classes to comeIn addition to repeating this class, here are the titles and brief descriptions of the other classes currently being prepared. You can already register your interest by email or Signal to those as well - and I'll just send you an email or text when they're ready.The Ghosts of Israel's Future, looking at what the horrors unleashed by Israel during the ongoing genocide reveal about that country's politics, and the people, Jews, Israelis and Palestinians alike, who predicted it. Estimated fee is $300 for 5 sessions. Against Multipolar Imperialism, looking at why we cannot accept multipolarity as a valid alternative to a US-dominated world, especially as that involves accepting authoritarian states and effectively sacrificing whole populations as collateral. We will look at China, Taiwan, Ukraine, Russia, so-called Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, Hong Kong, Syria, Israel-Palestine, Iran, El Salvador, Argentina, Tigray and Ethiopia, Bosnia and of course Lebanon. Estimated fee is $300 for 5 sessions. Cancelling the Apocalypse: From James Baldwin to Solarpunk and beyond. Estimated fee is $300 for 5 sessions. Postwar Hauntings: Modern Lebanon Through Its Cinema. This will be a much more in-depth exploration of Lebanon post-1990 through its cinema, which was the topic of my PhD dissertation. We will watch movies, discuss them, and explore Lebanon through them. Estimated fee is $600 for 6 sessions.

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Booth inside the National Palace El Salvador to dig into a question a lot of people are asking in private. Is El Salvador still Bitcoin country, or did Bukele get captured by the IMF. Jeff shares how he ended up invited by the President, why he first thought he was being used as a marketing prop, and what actually happened during a long conversation on Bitcoin, freedom money, and what it means for a small country trying to escape a global control system.We walk through the IMF and El Salvador story from Jeff's perspective. He explains why a former failed state turned to Bitcoin to escape fiat money and its hidden taxes, yet still decided to take an IMF loan. Jeff shares Bukele's “rat and cheese” analogy, and why the real goal is Salvadorans holding their own keys, running nodes, and building a circular economy in Bitcoin instead of staying stuck in the old system. He also talks about what he saw on the ground, from gang crackdowns and falling crime, to how the historic center now feels safer and more vibrant, and what that means for tourism in El Salvador.From there, we zoom out into the deeper human side. Jeff explains how understanding Bitcoin forces an existential crisis, especially for wealthy people and NGOs who thought they were helping, while actually reinforcing a broken fiat money system. We get into game theory, why most people will cheat if they think they will not get caught, and why the principled minority who run nodes and hold their own keys matter so much. Jeff lays out a simple way to think about moving your time into the Bitcoin economy, starting with a small percentage, then growing it until your life reflects an honest market instead of a control system built on inflation and debt.We close with why Jeff walked away from a huge Twitter audience to spend his time on Nostr, how he thinks about living in alignment in public, and what he is building with Ego Death Capital. He shares how they use Bitcoin as the hurdle rate, why he believes Bitcoin native startups will massively outperform as the old world gets repriced, and how founders in places like El Salvador can collect more Bitcoin by creating real value for real people.

“If you're measuring Bitcoin in dollars, you haven't left the matrix yet.” In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America sits down once again with Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow and co-founder of Ego Death Capital, for a deep dive into the real state of the world: – Why the natural state of a free market is deflation – How fiat money, credit crises and “liquidity tightening” create the illusion that Bitcoin is failing – Why nothing has changed in Bitcoin… and everything has changed in the legacy system Jeff explains why he left Canada, what he sees coming next (capital controls, higher taxes, more surveillance), and why countries like El Salvador and leaders like Bukele are so important in this moment. We talk about the on-the-ground reality in El Salvador, the Bitcoin Historico event, and why teaching kids to self-custody and use Bitcoin is the most “anti-dictator” move a government can make. We also dig into Fedi / Fedimint, community-based Bitcoin custody and private messaging, and why tools like Fedi + Nostr are mandatory if you want to keep your money and communications out of the coming AI-powered surveillance dragnet.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta sexta-feira (28):O deputado federal Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), ainda nos Estados Unidos, admitiu pela primeira vez que pode apoiar Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP) na eleição presidencial de 2026. Em entrevista ao Grupo Folha, afirmou que o governador paulista representa uma alternativa de voto anti-Lula (PT) e declarou: “Onde Lula estiver de um lado, eu estarei do outro.”O governador Tarcísio de Freitas defendeu a adoção da prisão perpétua no Brasil durante encontro com agentes do mercado financeiro. Segundo ele, os brasileiros “não estão se sentindo seguros”, e a segurança pública será um dos temas centrais da disputa eleitoral de 2026. Tarcísio também elogiou o modelo de combate ao crime adotado por Nayib Bukele em El Salvador.O presidente da Câmara, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), afirmou que o relatório da PEC da Segurança será apresentado na próxima semana. O texto, elaborado pelo relator Mendonça Filho (União-PE), deve endurecer regras como prisão em segunda instância e critérios das audiências de custódia.O Ministério da Justiça enviou ao relator Alessandro Vieira (MDB-SE) um documento apontando dez problemas considerados essenciais no texto do PL Antifacção aprovado pela Câmara. Segundo o governo, há risco de redução de recursos para a Polícia Federal e sobreposição de legislações. A expectativa é que o Senado analise o projeto na próxima semana.O indicado de Lula ao STF, Jorge Messias, intensificou a articulação no Senado enquanto o relator da CCJ, Weverton Rocha (PDT-MA), sinaliza parecer favorável. Mesmo assim, Messias teria buscado apoio para adiar a sabatina marcada para 10 de dezembro, temendo não alcançar os 41 votos necessários. Nos bastidores, comenta-se que Davi Alcolumbre, que defendia a indicação de Rodrigo Pacheco, teria se recusado a recebê-lo.A defesa do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) apresentou ao Supremo Tribunal Federal embargos infringentes para tentar reverter a condenação no caso do golpe de Estado. O recurso pede absolvição e solicita que o processo seja levado ao plenário, onde os 11 ministros participam do julgamento.Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.
Confira no Morning Show desta sexta-feira (28): O ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro teve seu salário de R$46 mil cortado pelo Partido Liberal devido à perda de direitos políticos, expondo a crise interna na sigla. Paralelamente, a PGR recomenda a prisão domiciliar para o General Augusto Heleno por diagnóstico de Alzheimer desde 2018. O Congresso Nacional impôs uma derrota esmagadora ao governo Lula após derrubar 52 vetos presidenciais da Lei do Licenciamento Ambiental. O Morning Show debate a crise institucional, a dificuldade de articulação política do Planalto e a polêmica: essa desburocratização favorece o agronegócio e o desenvolvimento, ou aumenta o risco ambiental no país? Confira a análise da bancada. O governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, defendeu publicamente a prisão perpétua para crimes graves no Brasil, citando o sucesso da política de segurança de El Salvador. A proposta levanta o debate sobre o endurecimento das leis para combater a reincidência, mas esbarra na Constituição, que proíbe penas perpétuas. A Polícia Civil do Rio de Janeiro analisou as fichas criminais dos 122 mortos na megaoperação "Contenção". O estudo revela que 17% dos óbitos não tinham passagem, mas a maioria tinha ligações claras com o crime organizado, incluindo fotos com fuzis. Um grupo de detentos de altíssima periculosidade fugiu pelo teto de uma penitenciária em Minas Gerais, no que já é a 19ª fuga no estado em 2025. O problema da reincidência e da falha do sistema penitenciário é agravado por um vídeo viral chocante em que um jovem distribui facas a moradores de rua. Após um ataque em Washington, o presidente Donald Trump prometeu pausar "permanentemente" a imigração de países do "terceiro mundo" aos EUA. O Morning Show discute se a medida é uma resposta legítima a uma falha de segurança do governo Biden ou uma generalização coletivista perigosa. Qual o risco para os brasileiros e outros imigrantes? Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

La violencia es uno de los principales problemas que afronta Honduras, no solo durante el proceso electoral. Nuestro enviado especial ha entrevistado al comandante Rolando Ponce para hablar de la lucha contra las maras y el actual estado de emergencia implantado en el país. De nuestro enviado especial a San Pedro Sule, Carlos Herranz. Durante años, el comandante Rolando Ponce tuvo la difícil tarea de ser el jefe de policía de la ciudad más peligrosa del mundo. Con una tasa de 148 asesinatos por cada 100.000 habitantes, llegó a desbancar a Ciudad Juárez en México como capital mundial de las muertes violentas. San Pedro Sula era el cruce explosivo entre corrupción local, narco internacional y pobreza extrema. Ahora, el estado de excepción implantado desde 2022 ha ayudado a bajar la tasa de homicidios, pero las maras siguen controlando importantes sectores, extorsionando a empresarios y, como sicarios, cobrando una media de 8.000 dólares por asesinato. El comandante Ponce atiende a RFI mientras prepara el dispositivo de seguridad para la jornada electoral del próximo domingo con el objetivo de evitar muertes durante el escrutinio como ha ocurrido en citas pasadas. Afirma que sin haber llegado al modelo Bukele en el vecino El Salvador, han conseguido buenos resultados en la lucha contra las maras: "Hemos dado un sinnúmero de capturas a las maras y pandillas, como son los pandilleros de la 18 y los pandilleros de la Mara Salvatrucha, así como de la delincuencia común". "Quiero decirle que las dos maras son una amenaza, porque se dedican al sicariato. Ambas también se dedican a la extorsión, al pleito por venta de territorio de drogas. Sin embargo, tenemos controlado eso. A diario se están capturando jóvenes y se están remitiendo y estamos haciendo que el brazo de la justicia los abrace", prosigue. El estado de emergencia: ¿Recorta derechos o combate el crimen? ¿Ayuda el Estado de emergencia? ¿El hecho, por ejemplo, de poder allanar antes de las seis de la mañana y esas medidas que van acompañadas del Estado de Emergencia? "Quiero decirle que sí, porque cuando nosotros hacemos un allanamiento que es coordinado con el Ministerio Público, que lo solicita al poder juzgador, que es el juzgado, tarda un poco. El estado de excepción es una herramienta que ha venido a apoyar al Estado", responde. En cuanto a las quejas por violación de derechos, el comandante Ponce prosigue: "Muchos litigantes, muchos abogados dicen que es inconstitucional. Nosotros consideramos que es una de las herramientas que nos puede ayudar a controlar lo que es el crimen organizado". "¿Por qué? Nosotros tenemos la investigación o la vigilancia de que en determinado sector, en un edificio ingresaron personas con aspectos delictivos o violentos y si no tenemos el estado de excepción, tenemos que hacer todo el protocolo correspondiente de acuerdo a la norma que exige el Código procesal penal y es ahí donde huyen", concluye. La oposición critica el impacto limitado en los resultados contra el crimen del Estado de excepción, que entró en vigencia en 2022, durante el primer año de la administración de Xiomara Castro.
New details are emerging about who made the call to send a plane load full of immigrants to El Salvador, in direct conflict of a judge's order. The Justice Department says it was Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who made the choice not to comply with federal Judge James Boasberg's order to hold the deportation. Judge Boasberg is looking to revive criminal contempt proceedings against Trump administration officials who authorized the deportation flights.We'll talk about it with political analyst and presidential historian John Rothmann. Bringing an early look at the Thanksgiving weekend movie releases, it's the Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder. The Mark Thompson Show 11/26/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Two members of the National Guard are in a critical condition after the shootings not far from the White House. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in March greenlit the Trump administration's decision to proceed with deporting more than 200 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador despite an emergency court order.

Bajo el lema romper el silencio, vamos a profundizar en cómo la violencia contra las mujeres se sigue ejerciendo en contextos muy distintos. Un informe de la Agencia de las Naciones Unidas para las mujeres denuncia que en 2024 hubo más de 50.000 feminicidios en el ámbito familiar, casi la mitad, en África. También nos vamos a detener en una de las formas de violencia más crueles que se pueden ejercer sobre niñas y adolescentes, forzarlas a ser madres. En países como El Salvador, el aborto está prohibido y penado con cárcel, ni siquiera en el supuesto de una violación. En el país, un número elevado de embarazos es consecuencia de violaciones por parte del entorno mas cercano de las pequeñas y muchas se acaban quitando la vida. Nuestra compañera Valle Alonso ha preparado un reportaje sobre ello.Estará en Cinco continentes la representante de ONU Mujeres Mexico, Moni Pizani, que ha puesto en marcha una campaña que se titula Es Real Es Violencia Digital con la que poder combatir este problema que en México afecta a 10 millones de mujeres y también Mayki Gorosito exdirectora del Espacio memoria y derechos humanos, antigua escuela de mecanica de la armada de Buenos Aires, o lo que es lo mismo, el lugar donde secuestraron y torturaron a miles de personas, contra las mujeres usaban además la violencia sexual como arma, durante la dictadura militar argentina. Seguimos pendientes de las negociaciones entre Estados Unidos, Ucrania y Rusia y hablaremos de la reunión de la llamada coalición de voluntarios que lideran el Reino Unido, Francia y Alemania. Estaremos también en Sudán porque el conflicto entre el ejército y los paramilitares de las fuerzas de apoyo rápido sigue llevándose miles de vidas y no parece estar cerca de llegar a un acuerdo que convenza a ambas partes. Vamos a hablar también de las consecuencias económicas de estos dos años de ofensiva israelí que han dejado, segun naciones unidas, a la economía palestina en una situación de colapso casi total. También del fallo del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea que ha dictaminado que los Estados miembros están obligados a reconocer el matrimonio homosexual celebrado en otro país comunitario, aunque los enlaces entre personas del mismo sexo no estén reconocidos en su ordenamiento jurídico.

The word asylum should mean safety, a promise that the United States will protect those fleeing violence, persecution, or death. For many, from Iran to El Salvador to Venezuela, it has become a maze of shifting rules, bureaucracy, broken commitments, and political stunts. In this episode, Justin sits down with immigration attorney Monika Sud-Devaraj, who's spent decades on both sides of the system, to break down the asylum process. They also expose how policy changes and funding cuts are complicating lives and destroying faith in the U.S.'s integrity. Key Moments: The Reality of Asylum: What it means under U.S. law and why so few qualify, even when their fear is real. Due Process Denied: How sudden rule changes and revoked statuses leave people vulnerable to deportation and possible persecution, torture, or death. The CBP One Fallout: How the shutdown of a critical entry pathway left thousands stranded in legal limbo. Fear and Bureaucracy: The human toll of endless paperwork, language barriers, and confusion for people simply trying to survive. Funding Cuts and Consequences: Why eliminating legal aid programs has made the immigration courts even slower and more dangerous. A System in Crisis: How political agendas have turned real human suffering into propaganda and who pays the price. If you've ever wondered what happens to the people America promised to protect or how politics have twisted the meaning of justice—this conversation will challenge your assumptions. It's a must-listen for anyone who believes in fairness, faith, or the idea that truth should guide policy, not propaganda. Listen now to understand what's really happening behind the headlines and how we can demand better from a system built on freedom and compassion.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 040: Bitcoin Privacy Under Attack – Neurosurgeon Exposes Government Conspiracy, Transhumanist Agenda & Economic Reset | Dr. Jack KruseNeurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse drops bombshells: Bitcoin privacy under siege from government conspiracy and transhumanist agendas, with the economic reset already underway via CBDCs and MK Ultra mind control tactics. He warns 50% of Bitcoiners have been fooled by cozying up to politicians like Trump (a "false flag"), Michael Saylor's propaganda, and David Bailey's missteps—pushing Bitcoin toward sloppy centralization. From Meyer Lansky's 1969 fiat debasement playbook to Epstein-funded cypherpunks controlling thoughts via Google algorithms, Kruse connects decades of history showing Zionists, Fabians, and bankers reclaiming power. But decentralized health is the key weapon: Blue light, EMFs, and Big Pharma destroy your time (the true asset) on purpose—stealing sovereignty without touching your stack. Learn why toxic maxi Bitcoiners are waking up, how to build citadels in oases like El Salvador, and simple fixes like sunrise exposure to reclaim freedom. This isn't hype—it's the privacy war Bitcoiners must win before extinction events hit Canada, the US, and more. Wake up, get savage, and fight back.Chapters:00:00:00 Teaser – Attack Exposed00:02:02 Geopolitical Threats00:04:07 COVID Reset00:07:44 Citadels & Privacy00:13:29 Borderless Future00:18:14 Extinction Risks00:20:25 Attack Vectors00:23:51 Historical Control00:27:06 Feudalism Agenda00:31:57 CBDCs History00:35:21 Mind Control00:37:48 War Begins00:39:31 False Flags00:41:24 Health-Wealth & Compliance00:47:13 EMFs & DARPA Weapons00:59:10 Revolution, Fabian & Zionist Wars01:10:03 AI Risks01:17:51 Disagreement & Risks01:19:30 Game Theory & Conspiracies01:26:02 Mindset & ResourcesAbout Dr. Jack Kruse:Neurosurgeon and decentralized medicine pioneerX: @DrJackKrusePatreon: patreon.com/DrJackKruseSite: jackkruse.com (Forum for decentralized medicine resources)Check out previous Episodes:Bitcoin-Powered Healthcare w Andy Schoonover: https://youtu.be/f940kVrPwNw

Can Bitcoin actually function as real money—and is it destroying the planet? In Part 3 of our cryptocurrency series, host Kirsten Howe continues her conversation with Jirayr Kembikian, CFP® and Managing Director of Citrine Capital, to answer these critical questions. Jirayr systematically breaks down the seven properties that define ideal currency—durability, divisibility, portability, verifiability, scarcity, established history, and ease of use—then compares Bitcoin against both the U.S. dollar and gold. Bitcoin outperforms the dollar on almost every measure and beats gold in critical areas like portability and verifiability. You'll discover why no one can walk into Fort Knox to verify reserves, how Bitcoin's network validates itself every 10 minutes, and why the fixed supply cap means higher prices can never inflate availability (unlike gold mining). But the real surprises come when Jirayr addresses Bitcoin's environmental critics. Learn how mining operations now capture harmful methane from landfills and gas flaring, why Bitcoin uniquely utilizes stranded energy that nothing else can access, and how 55% of the network runs on renewable power—advancing clean energy in unprecedented ways. The conversation extends to Bitcoin's profound social impact: providing financial access to over a billion unbanked people worldwide and offering economic freedom to those living under authoritarian regimes. From Block (formerly Square) integrating Bitcoin into millions of point-of-sale terminals to El Salvador's adoption as legal tender, Bitcoin is moving from investment vehicle to functional currency faster than most realize. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 1:38 Breaking down what makes "good money"—the seven research-backed properties of ideal currency compared across Bitcoin, gold, and the dollar. 3:05 Gold's fatal flaw: incredibly heavy and expensive to transport across countries, while Bitcoin enables instant, costless transfers worldwide. 5:18 Start listening now to learn more about why Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap is unchangeable. 5:51 The track record gap—gold's thousands of years of proven use versus Bitcoin's 15-year history remains its biggest weakness. 6:49 Survival needs drive Bitcoin adoption in the Global South, whereas in the West, it is adopted as a store of value. 8:58 Block (formerly Square) just integrated Bitcoin into millions of point-of-sale terminals—a massive shift for real-world payments. 10:17 The merchant advantage: significantly lower fees plus immediate settlement, versus waiting days for credit card deposits. 11:00 Lightning Network explained—designed for fast, cheap, everyday transactions rather than long-term value storage. 12:00 The ESG dilemma—energy consumption concerns initially kept sustainably-focused investors away from Bitcoin. 12:50 The surprising discovery: Bitcoin mining operations now capture harmful methane from landfills and gas flaring, actively reducing emissions. 15:31 How Bitcoin mining accelerates renewable energy—co-location with solar and wind projects makes them profitable sooner while eliminating transmission costs. 15:47 Financial freedom for billions: over 1 billion unbanked people gain access to banking, while those under authoritarian regimes escape government financial control.

REVISITED in 2025 - Episode 5 - To Travel Solo Or Not?In this episode, I go back to one of the earliest recordings I ever released on the Winging It Travel Podcast. My original episode, To Travel Solo or Not, captured a moment when I was still finding my voice, building the show from my bedroom, and trying to make sense of my own travel experiences. Now, years later, I'm revisiting those stories with fresh eyes.I take you through some of the pivotal solo travel moments that shaped who I am as a traveller today — from navigating Bolivia on my own after a last-minute change of plans, to driving around Antigua as the only tourist in sight, to the chaotic hostel scenes in Puerto Rico where life happened right in front of me. I also look back on the randomness of meeting a QPR legend in St. Kitts, getting stranded in Toronto with no way out, and being rescued by a friend I'd met years earlier on the road.These stories reminded me why solo travel can be so powerful. It gives you freedom, vulnerability, unexpected friendships, and moments of real growth. But I also talk honestly about the challenges — the loneliness, the missteps, the uncertainty — and how I see those experiences differently now in 2025.I also reflect on how travelling with friends and partners has shaped me, and how those dynamics contrast with going it alone. Revisiting this episode felt like opening an old journal and realising just how much has changed… and how much hasn't.If you're thinking about travelling solo this year, or if you're curious about how our perspectives evolve as we keep exploring, I think you'll get something out of this one.If you enjoy the episode, come say hello on Instagram at @wingingittravelpodcast, and check out more at wingingittravelpodcast.com. I'd love to hear your own solo travel stories.To finish, I am not sure what to think of my early episodes; they are a tad cringe from me in terms of the sound and production, but a reminder of the progression I have made in five years.Want to travel with me to El Salvador?

Ready to stop forcing your days into a 24-hour hustle that doesn't fit your body? We sit down with Katrina, creator of the Create Her Planner, to reframe planning around lunar phases, seasonal energy, and the real rhythms women experience across life stages, including perimenopause and postmenopause. This is a practical, grounded conversation about matching tasks to timing so your best work happens when your brain and body are ready.We walk through how the planner blends a lunar calendar, weekly energy “batteries,” and focused prompts for money moves, marketing, and deep work. White space and mandalas shift planning from stress to clarity in five quiet minutes. You'll hear stories from women using the system to write books faster, launch offers in the right window, and protect recovery days without guilt. We also talk candidly about privacy, why a paper-first tool keeps your health data in your hands, and how to communicate softer days with partners and teams so support shows up where it counts.Katrina shares what's new for 2026: the Inner Circle planning community, Create Her Rewire coaching to build businesses that honor energy cycles, and intimate Reset Weekends, including a small-group, all-inclusive gathering in El Salvador. If you've ever wondered why some weeks flow while others fight you, this episode offers a clear framework to test: track your energy, align with lunar phases, and let your data guide when to sell, strategize, or simply rest.

For the last two weeks, a critically important climate conference has been taking place in Belem, Brazil. For the first time in 30 years, the United States did not send a delegation to the conference. Outside of the event, massive groups of Indigenous people have gathered to demand that world leaders do something to curtail the effects of climate change, which their communities are already feeling. Somini Sengupta, international climate reporter for the New York Times, joins the show to recap the conference.And in headlines, Elon Musk predicts a work-less utopia at the Saudi Investment Forum, the Trump Administration comes up with concepts of a plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war, and a federal judge restarts criminal contempt proceedings against the Trump Administration over potentially illegal deportation flights to El Salvador.Show Notes:Check out Somini's reporting – www.nytimes.com/by/somini-senguptaCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan takes listeners across Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, and Chile to reveal a regional battle between the Left and the Right. He then connects these global trends to the rise of Democratic Socialism in the United States and explains what a socialist future for America would look like in the words of the Democratic Socialists of America themselves. Trump Weighs Strikes in Venezuela and Colombia: The USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group has arrived off the Venezuelan coast with fifteen thousand U.S. troops in the region. Trump says he will not rule out military action or even ground forces against the Maduro regime, which the State Department has formally labeled a terrorist organization. Maduro has offered Trump access to Venezuela's massive oil reserves in exchange for staying in power, and the White House is openly considering all options. In Colombia, Marxist president Gustavo Petro continues to defend his past with the M-19 terror group. Trump signaled he is willing to hit Colombian drug labs if necessary, saying he would be "proud" to destroy them. Mexico Erupts Over Cartel Violence: Mexico City saw a weekend of violent protests that left one hundred officers injured. Outrage grew after the assassination of a popular mayor in Michoacan by a cartel-recruited teen. Protesters blasted President Claudia Sheinbaum's approach of "Hugs, Not Bullets," arguing it has empowered cartels and left communities defenseless. Younger Mexicans filled the streets, furious that their country remains trapped between socialist leadership and cartel domination. Chile Rejects the Far Left: Seventy percent of Chilean voters backed conservative candidates in the first round of the presidential election. Jose Kast, a conservative Catholic with nine children, will face Communist Party member Jeanne Jara in the December runoff. Voters say crime, cartels, and mass illegal migration have pushed the nation to the breaking point. Kast has vowed to secure the border with walls and landmines, expand prisons, and cut leftist funding that has fueled unrest and economic decline. The Bigger Picture: A Hemisphere in Revolt: Across Latin America, leftist governments are collapsing under crime, corruption, and failed socialist policies. Voters in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, and El Salvador have already swung to the Right. Europe is shifting too. Yet the United States is moving in the opposite direction. Cities like New York and Seattle are embracing radical Democratic Socialists who draw inspiration from Latin American Marxists. What a Socialist America Would Look Like: Bryan walks through the Democratic Socialists of America's own strategy document from 2012. The group calls for abolishing private business, seizing the means of production, replacing entrepreneurs with government bureaucrats, and using the Democratic Party as a host to move the country toward Marxism. DSA leaders admit there is no blueprint for how their system would work and acknowledge the violent history of Marxist regimes. Their model depends on free housing, free jobs, free education, and government assigned careers funded by an undefined source. Bryan warns that the movement is already advancing inside the Democratic Party with leaders like AOC and Zohran Mamdani openly following the playbook.
