Edition No235 | 30-08-2025 - War is the grease that helps the wheels turn in Putin's regime. Russia has a history of militarism, and war creates opportunities and circumstances for some powerful Russians to thrive – while the drumbeat of war provides mood music for Putin's propagandists, to keep the population distracted. War and chaos are essential elements of Putin's business model. Trump is the apprentice to Putin's mature dictator. Is he about to learn the lesson that war can help entrench and extend the life of your regime? Help you to rig and even suspend normal democratic processes and democratic culture, such as free and fair elections? War Drums and Ballots: Venezuela, the U.S. Armada, and the Temptation of “Small Victorious Wars. In this episode we're sailing straight into rough water: an increasingly brutal regime in Caracas that only just stared down a popular uprising, U.S. warships surging toward Venezuela's coast, and a stateside whisper campaign about whether a “small victorious war” could morph into a shortcut around bad projections for midterm election results for Trump. We'll also unpack that awkward moment when Donald Trump's demands for Ukrainian elections collided with… Ukrainian law, and Trump had a revelation. Buckle up. It's nice, but it is necessary to explore the political possibilities, no matter how dark and strange. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/29/venezuela-gunboat-diplomacy-trump-madurohttps://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250826-venezuela-deploys-warships-drones-as-us-destroyers-draw-nearhttps://www.aljazeera.com/video/the-take-2/2025/8/28/why-are-us-warships-going-to-venezuelahttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/26/us-warships-head-to-venezuela-fight-against-cartels-or-imperial-ambitionhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-26/venezuela-to-deploy-ships-to-oil-exporting-hub-after-us-movehttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/nicolas-maduro-karoline-leavitt-south-america-donald-trump-chatham-house-b2816576.htmlhttps://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/why-are-us-warships-heading-toward-venezuela/ ----------DESCRIPTION:Geopolitical Showdown: US-Venezuela Tensions and Political CalculationsIn this episode of Silicon Bytes, we delve into the escalating tensions between the US and Venezuela. We examine the fragile state of the Maduro regime following its oppressive measures post-2024 election, and the potential implications of US military presence in the Caribbean. The discussion extends to Trump's strategies and the historical context of using war to influence domestic political outcomes, particularly ahead of the 2026 midterms. We also explore the constitutional limitations and potential political maneuvers, drawing comparisons with Ukraine's martial law and its impact on elections. Tune in as we unpack these crucial political dynamics and their far-reaching consequences.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Acknowledgements00:24 The Role of War in Political Regimes01:17 Venezuela's Political Crisis04:21 US Military Movements and Responses07:30 The Political Calculus of War11:10 The Zelensky Exchange and Martial Law13:22 Implications and Conclusions----------

Claudia Sheinbaum ha puesto sobre la mesa un cambio profundo al sistema político en México: una reforma electoral. Esta semana hablamos con Benito Nacif, ex consejero del Instituto Nacional Electoral, quien nos ayuda a demenuzar los tres ejes de la reforma; los cambios en el sistema electoral; reducir el costo de la organización de las elecciones; y la reducción del financiamiento de los partidos políticos.

A constitutional lawyer says the Royal Commission of Inquiry has the power to summons ex-ministers to front for its Covid enquiry. It's called off its second week of hearings after Chris Hipkins, Dame Jacinda Ardern, Grant Robertson, and Ayesha Verrall declined to appear. It says it shouldn't diminish the inquiry - as all have privately given evidence. Lawyer Graeme Edgeler says the Commission just needs to consider if it'll miss out on key information without a summons. "If the answer to that was yes, then they should exercise it. They seem to think at the moment that they don't need need to have the summons, but it's something they have in their back pocket." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a period of relative calm in congressional elections prior to 2006, America has experienced a series of highly competitive, volatile national elections. Since then, at least one of the US House, US Senate, and presidency has flipped party control--often with a large House or Senate seat swing--with the exception of the 2012 election. In Waves of Discontent, Jacob F. H. Smith argues that a pervasive feeling of displeasure in the American public has caused this increase in electoral volatility. Examining the consequences of volatility in congressional elections reveals that political amateurs are more likely to win in wave years than in normal years. Based on this data, Smith presents a new theory about the policy process--the policy doom loop--in which frustration among voters at both the inability of Congress to pass policy and anger at policies that actually do pass results in even more churn in congressional elections. Waves of Discontent offers some suggestions to promote constructive policymaking efforts in Washington to reduce frustration in the electorate. Learn more about your ad choices.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports India's opposition parties are calling for the rollback of a controversial revision of the voter list in one of the country's poorest states, where key elections are scheduled in November.

En República Dominicana todo lo que hacen los gobiernos obtiene un coro de aplausos inmediatamente. Desde Trujillo para acá se ha creado un círculo de lambones que se dedica a alabar cualquier cosa que se haga. No hay que ser mezquino y restar méritos a las acciones de la administración pública pero tanta belleza es imposible.Ahora ocurre que además de las cosas buenas que aplauden al gobierno se suma las que atribuyen a los posibles candidatos presidenciales de cualquier partido.Es el Síndrome de “Funda” el reformista que andaba con una corte de vocingleros en los actos del gobierno de Balague y cuyo trabajo era gritar ese si es bueno cuando hablaba un funcionario cualquiera.En una ocasión la gente de funda gritó “ese si es malo” y me ocupé de preguntar la razón que fue explicada rápidamente, ese no suelta manteca.Ahora al lambonismo tradicional se ha sumado la cultura del opinionismo sin fundamento. Una cosa es buena o mala porque lo dice fulano o zutana.Hoy, cuando se anuncia la ampliación de los servicios de la linea 1 del Metro de Santo Domingo están los aplausos, más que merecidos sin decir que eso se hace con el dinero de nuestros impuestos y por otro lado gente opinando de andenes y conexiones cual si fueran expertos en locomoción subterranea.El lambonismo de oficio afecta la democracia. Quienes ahora están en la oposición y se beneficiaron del sistema ahora necesitan lambones propios pero eso no es fácil fuera del poder.Cuando el pasado no fue bueno decir que en la próxima será mejor resulta cuesta arriba hasta para los más bergantes. Pasado mañana escucharemos la sentencia de Alexis Médina en el caso pulpo, sea cual sea el veredicto de las juezas será una evaluación de la gestión de DAnilo Medina y el PLD. Los lambones a cargo deberán leer bien ex texto porque es la  matriz de la próxima campaña electoral.

A local electoral area in Clare is among 15 nationwide which had more deaths than births in 2022. A new analysis of data by the Central Statistics Office shows the Kilrush local electoral area experienced the fifth-largest natural decrease rate in the country in the year in question. The Kilrush LEA recorded 190 births and 213 deaths in 2022, giving it a natural decrease of 23, translating to a natural decrease rate per 1,000 of population of -1. This makes the area one of just 15 in Ireland where there were more deaths than births in 2022. The Ennistymon LEA's natural increase was close to neutral, with 176 births and 173 deaths occurring, resulting in a natural increase rate of 0.2. The Ennis, Shannon and Killaloe areas all recorded natural increases with Ennis having the highest at 3.5. The findings are in contrast to those of 2021 when each of the five LEAs in Clare experienced natural increases.

Charles Derber, a sociology professor at Boston College, talks with Steve about his book, 'Bonfire: American Sociocide, Broken Relations and the Quest for Democracy.' Steve suggests the book aligns with his own assessment that US sociocide (social disintegration) demands revolutionary change. Electoral politics are a distraction and a dead end.The conversation covers the need for a deeper understanding of a system that manufactures and perpetuates inequality. They discuss the historical continuity of fascism as the logical endpoint of capitalism. Indeed, Trump's presidency has exposed the latent fascist character of the US state, stripping away liberal democratic pretenses. Austerity measures and increased ICE (and police) funding serve to suppress resistance and criminalize poverty.Steve emphasizes the need for organizing alternative institutions, building dual power. Charles hopes his book will help connect personal experiences with broader systemic issues, advocating for a collective response to the socio-economic crisis and reinforcing the necessity of long-term, sustainable organizing outside traditional party politics.Charles Derber, Professor of Sociology at Boston College, is the author of twenty-eight books, including the Wilding of America, The. Pursuit of Attention, Sociopathic Society, Corporation Nation, People Before Profit, Dying for Capitalism, Greed to Green, Welcome to the Revolution, and Who Owns Democracy - translated into 14 languages. He is a public sociologist and life-long activist, who writes about structural and cultural analysis of capitalism, public goods, the environment, and social movements seeking transformational change. He is a life-long activist for peace and social justice.
