POPULARITY
Today's full breakdown covers the most explosive stories reshaping global politics and American power: Israel-Iran on the Brink: Following the bombing of a hospital, Israel's top officials publicly hint at the assassination of Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei. Trump warns Iran is just weeks away from a nuclear weapon, vowing they will never be allowed to get one. MAGA Civil War Ignites: A jaw-dropping exchange between Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson reveals Carlson's ignorance of Iran's assassination plots against Trump. This moment crystallizes the ideological split inside the GOP—with one side ready to act against threats, and the other clinging to pacifism. China's Dystopian Blueprint: A stunning segment from the Sean Ryan Show featuring Blackwater founder Erik Prince lifts the curtain on China's terrifying digital dictatorship—where facial recognition, geolocation, and social credit scores control every move. Democrats Imploding Financially: The DNC is reportedly broke and considering borrowing just to survive. Meanwhile, the GOP fundraising engine—once near collapse—is roaring again post-Trump's conviction and Ronna McDaniel's exit. Tucker, Trump & The Truth About War: Trump's stance on Iran has never wavered—no nukes, no nation-building. But with growing misinformation, even inside the conservative base, the stakes have never been higher. From global war to digital authoritarianism to internal party collapse—this is the news you're not supposed to hear.

Dans l'État du Minas Gerais, la région historique de Diamantina, bâtie sur les mines de diamant, est aujourd'hui menacée par un projet de mine de fer baptisé « Mosquito ». Reportage de notre correspondante au Brésil, Sarah Cozzolino. Porté par l'entreprise Etgran, ce projet de mine vise une zone située entre deux parcs naturels, à proximité du village de Pinheiro. Les habitants redoutent une dégradation de l'environnement, une aggravation de la crise hydrique, et un bouleversement profond de leur mode de vie. Enivaldo, descendant de mineurs artisanaux, dénonce une extraction destructrice : « On va respirer toute la poussière », alerte-t-il. Priscilla, jeune mère, craint les conséquences à long terme : « Le problème avec l'industrie minière, c'est l'après. » De son côté, le professeur Fred rappelle que Pinheiro est un réservoir d'eau pour le fleuve Jequitinhonha, menacé par les résidus de la future mine.Malgré la promesse d'emplois, la mobilisation locale s'intensifie. Tuliane Santos, enseignante engagée, redoute un effet domino : « Ce projet pourrait ouvrir la porte à d'autres exploitations minières. » Pour Julio Brabo, guide touristique, l'alternative est claire : le tourisme communautaire, bien plus durable et bénéfique pour la région. Pour l'heure, le projet a été suspendu par la justice. Mais les habitants le savent : cette bataille judiciaire pourrait durer des années.Les commerçants dominicains sous la menace de gangs haïtiens La situation à la frontière entre Haïti et la République dominicaine est de plus en plus tendue, selon Ivan Garcia, président de la Fédération dominicaine des commerçants. De passage à Paris, il a donné une interview à Marine de la Moissonnière. Les échanges commerciaux, autrefois très dynamiques (plus de 2 milliards de dollars par an il y a dix ans), ont drastiquement chuté à environ 400 millions, selon Ivan Garcia. Seuls les marchés binationaux organisés deux fois par semaine permettent encore une forme de commerce, malgré la fermeture officielle de la frontière. Les Haïtiens y accèdent sous contrôle strict, dans des zones définies, pour y acheter des biens essentiels comme des aliments et des matériaux de construction.Mais ces marchés sont désormais sous la coupe des gangs armés haïtiens, qui imposent leur loi. Les commerçants dominicains doivent verser jusqu'à 20 000 dollars par mois pour que les gangs laissent passer les acheteurs haïtiens. Ces derniers, à leur tour, doivent aussi payer pour pouvoir ramener les marchandises chez eux. Les plus gros commerçants, une douzaine par association, supportent l'essentiel de ces coûts. Cela entraîne une augmentation des prix côté haïtien, ce qui frappe encore plus durement une population déjà en grande détresse économique.Ivan Garcia alerte sur les conséquences à long terme de cette situation. Si les commerçants cessaient de payer les gangs, les Haïtiens ne pourraient plus accéder aux marchés, ce qui tuerait le commerce transfrontalier. Et bien que les groupes armés ne franchissent pas la frontière, ils exercent une pression constante. Ivan Garcia appelle la communauté internationale à intervenir en Haïti avec une force similaire à la MINUSTAH de 2004, sinon l'instabilité haïtienne risque d'atteindre gravement la République dominicaine.L'hôpital La Providence des Gonaïves reprend vieOui c'est à la Une du Nouvelliste. L'hôpital avait été construit dans le cadre des projets post-séisme, pour soulager les hôpitaux saturés de la capitale. Mais très vite, il est devenu un symbole de la mauvaise gouvernance qui gangrène le pays : mal géré, en déclin constant.Aujourd'hui, les choses semblent changer. Une nouvelle direction est en place, le personnel a été renforcé, les locaux sont nettoyés, entretenus, et surtout : les patients commencent à revenir. Un renouveau salué par Le Nouvelliste, qui parle d'une «renaissance». Et dans le contexte actuel – où les grands hôpitaux de Port-au-Prince sont fermés, vandalisés ou incendiés – les autorités sanitaires de l'Artibonite ambitionnent carrément de faire de La Providence un centre hospitalier de référence à l'échelle nationale.Mais attention, nuance le journal : tout n'est pas encore parfait. L'hôpital n'a pas d'électricité 24 heures sur 24, il n'y a ni ambulance ni véhicules adaptés pour le transport des malades. Et les grands appareils biomédicaux sont souvent à l'arrêt, faute de personnel qualifié pour les faire fonctionner, ou simplement parce qu'on ne trouve pas les pièces de rechange. Bref, beaucoup reste à faire.La PNH présente son bilan pour le mois de mai C'est à la une de Gazette Haiti. Selon la police nationale, 91 armes à feu ont été saisies, en plus d'une importante quantité de munitions et divers équipements. Un bilan modeste alors que le ministre de la Défense Jean-Michel Moïse reconnait sans détour: « Les gangs sont mieux armés que notre armée ». Pour lutter contre les gangs, il se tourne aussi vers des sociétés privées américaines. Le New York Times révèle qu'Haïti a signé un contrat avec Erik Prince, le fondateur de la société militaire privée Blackwater – tristement célèbre pour le massacre de civils en Irak en 2007 – et proche de l'ancien président américain Donald Trump.Selon des responsables haïtiens et américains, Erik Prince aurait été mandaté pour mener des opérations létales contre les gangs armés en Haïti, à l'aide des drones. Problème : aucun résultat concret à ce jour. Aucun chef de gang capturé ni éliminé. En parallèle, Prince recrute des vétérans haïtiano-américains et prévoit d'envoyer jusqu'à 150 mercenaires à Port-au-Prince cet été. Deux experts cités par le New York Times confirment aussi qu'un important lot d'armes a été récemment expédié dans le pays. Ce recours à une force paramilitaire étrangère inquiète de nombreux observateurs, dans un pays où les institutions sont au bord de l'effondrement, et où le contrôle démocratique sur ce type d'intervention est inexistant.Aux États-Unis, l'initiative de Donald Trump visant à lutter contre l'antisémitisme sur les campus suscite de vives critiquesDans une tribune publiée par USA Today, le cardiologue Alex Zheutlin dénonce l'initiative de Donald Trump contre l'antisémitisme sur les campus, qu'il qualifie de manœuvre politique. Selon lui, l'objectif n'est pas de protéger les étudiants juifs, mais de réprimer les universitésjugées trop progressistes, comme Harvard, et de faire taire les critiques d'Israël. Cette démarche, dit-il, restreint la liberté académique et entretient une fausse équation entre militantisme pro-palestinien et haine antisémite, tout en ignorant l'antisémitisme de l'extrême droite.L'auteur alerte aussi sur les effets pervers d'une telle stratégie : en plaçant les Juifs au centre d'une campagne de censure, elle alimente à la fois les stéréotypes antisémites de droite (pouvoir supposé sur les institutions) et les soupçons de gauche (confusion entre soutien à Israël et identité juive). L'auteur rappelle aussi que l'université a été un vecteur d'intégration essentiel pour les Juifs américains. Instrumentaliser l'antisémitisme, conclut-il, ne les protège pas : cela les isole et affaiblit leur place dans la société.Journal de la 1ère Sera-t-il la solution, comme promis, ou le problème ? En Guadeloupe, le syndicat mixte de gestion de l'eau et de l'assainissement est sévèrement épinglé par un rapport de la Chambre Régionale des comptes.

Best-selling author of “One Nation Under Blackmail”, Whitney Webb, is back to discuss her latest article on the covert moves that are being made by one of the most polarizing figures in recent American history, Erik Prince. While his former company Blackwater underwent multiple rebrandings to attempt to remove the bloodstains from the carpet in the lobby, Prince was busy launching new ventures from his home base in the United Arab Emirates, such as Comframe and Dark Matter, which seek to help the Chinese acquire technology from Israel to assist with its Belt and Road Initiative. While China attempts to rebuild the fabled Silk Road to connect the world together, the United Nations is busy devising new ways in which to destroy it. Using the imagined threat of “climate change” as the new invisible enemy, the UN's Sustainable Development Goals are leading the world into a digital panopticon where the public is treated as fenced livestock and the Globalists are the only ones with the keys.

Tommy and Ben discuss El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele's White House meeting with Trump and their coordinated assault on due process in America, the terrifying prospect of Trump sending American citizens to foreign prisons, Daniel Noboa's re-election in Ecuador, and disgraced military contractor Erik Prince's attempts to privatize and profit from right-wing autocracy. They also talk about Trump's failures to end the war in Ukraine, the administration's talks with Iran about its nuclear program and the fight to define what a successful Iran deal 2.0 could look like, and the anti-Trump effect on Australia and Canada's upcoming elections. Then, Tommy speaks to Josh Rogin, author of Chaos Under Heaven: Trump, Xi, and the Battle for the Twenty-First Century, about Trump's chaotic China policymaking in the first term and who in the administration is influencing his decision-making as he launches a massive trade war.

Dimanche 13 avril, le président-candidat à sa réélection Daniel Noboa affronte Luisa Gonzalez, candidate du parti de gauche Revolucion Ciudadana. L'Équateur, qui était l'an dernier le deuxième pays le plus violent d'Amérique du Sud, a vu de nouveau la violence flamber en début d'année. Le tout, sur fond de crise économique. D'un côté, le président sortant Daniel Noboa, au pouvoir depuis un an et demi, terminant le mandat de son prédécesseur. De l'autre, la candidate de gauche Luisa Gonzalez, héritière du parti de l'ancien dirigeant Rafael Correa.« Daniel Noboa, fils d'un milliardaire, a resserré les liens avec les États-Unis depuis son élection. Il a tout pour plaire à Donald Trump et vient d'inviter Erik Prince, le fondateur de la sulfureuse compagnie américaine de sécurité Blackwater, pour aider à la lutte contre les cartels. Le président sortant veut notamment réformer la Constitution pour que puissent revenir les bases militaires étrangères », résume notre correspondant en Équateur, Eric Samson. « En cas d'élection de Luisa González, l'Équateur devrait effectuer un retour à gauche vers une posture socialiste et anti-impérialiste. La candidate a déjà indiqué qu'elle reconnaîtrait le régime de Nicolas Maduro au Venezuela », précise notre reporter.

Reportage de notre correspondant Martin Chabal. Haïti : Clarens Siffroy, lauréat du prestigieux World Press Photo pour l'Amérique du NordIl est de plus en plus difficile de raconter le quotidien d'Haïti. Les journalistes sont pris pour cible, attaqués par les gangs, mais certains parviennent à continuer d'informer. Le photojournaliste de l'Agence France Presse, Clarens Siffroy, témoigne à notre micro depuis Haïti : « Ce prix me donne l'opportunité de faire connaître la réalité de mon pays à travers le monde. »En République dominicaine, le bilan grimpe à 221 morts après l'effondrement du toit d'une boite de nuitCertaines personnes sont toujours portées disparues et les secours ont annoncé mettre fin aux recherches. Ce jeudi, les proches et fans du chanteur Rubby Perez, mort alors qu'il se produisait dans la boite de nuit, se sont réunis pour lui rendre hommage lors de ses funérailles.Le président a décidé hier de prolonger le deuil national de trois jours, jusqu'à dimanche, et le drame fait toujours la Une de la presse. Un « émouvant hommage » entre « larmes et musique » titre le Nuevo Diario. « Rubby Perez n'était pas qu'un symbole du merengue dominicain, c'était aussi un homme aimé, à la voix puissante, qui remplissait les scènes et le cœur », conclut le journal.Du côté du Diario Libre, « des hypothèses émergent » sur les raisons du drame.

Avant de conclure : « Pour le moment, plus que des milliards ou des promesses, le pays a besoin d'un coup de pouce sécuritaire. La France peut-elle s'occuper de cela ? »

Ecuador se prepara para la segunda vuelta de elecciones presidenciales, marcadas por la fuerte violencia del narcotráfico, especialmente en la ciudad de Guayaquil. El presidente Daniel Noboa, candidato a la reelección, anunció que se apoyaría en Erik Prince, figura controversial de los servicios militares privados y fundador de la firma Blackwater, acusada de haber cometido una matanza en Irak. El próximo 13 de abril, Ecuador realizará la segunda vuelta de las elecciones entre el presidente saliente, Daniel Noboa, y la candidata Luisa González.En medio de una fuerte ola de violencia, la lucha contra el narcotráfico se ha convertido en el principal tema.Este martes 11 de marzo, el mandatario anunció una “alianza estratégica” para enfrentar ese fenómeno con apoyo de Eric Prince, fundador de la firma Blackwater, la compañía de seguridad privada involucrada en la matanza de 17 civiles en Bagdad en 2007.Noboa no proporcionó detalles sobre lo en qué consistía esa alianza estratégica. “En realidad el anuncio es de una primera reunión con Eric Prince. Estamos en medio de una campaña presidencial, entonces suena un poco más a un anuncio de campaña que a una estrategia para responder a una política de seguridad”, analiza Johanna Paulina Espín, docente de la escuela en seguridad y defensa del Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales de Ecuador."El crimen organizado ha sembrado miedo y ha creído que puede operar con impunidad. Se les acaba su hora. Empieza la ayuda internacional en el Ecuador", escribió Noboa en la red X."Alta tensión"Para Espín, falta por definirse en qué áreas se daría esta cooperación. “Si es un tema de asesoría técnica o de recursos. ¿Además, de qué forma se enmarcaría dentro de una política de seguridad más amplia del mismo gobierno nacional?”.La empresa Blackwater ya no lleva ese nombre. La rebautizaron Academi y la absorbió Constellis en una fusión con una compañía rival.Leer tambiénSorpresa y empate técnico entre Daniel Noboa y Luisa González en las presidenciales de EcuadorLa campaña por la segunda vuelta en Ecuador sigue mostrando un empate técnico entre Noboa y González. “Se está en espera también de cuál va a ser el comportamiento de otros actores como es del movimiento indígena”, asegura el politólogo Julio Echeverría.“El debate presidencial previo va a ser muy importante. Estamos frente a un escenario enormemente polarizado en un contexto regional y global alborotado entonces el pronóstico es de alta tensión”, dice.En Ecuador, la tasa de homicidios escaló de 6 por cada 100.000 habitantes en 2018 a 38 en 2024, con un récord histórico de 47 en 2023.
Donald Trump persiste dans sa guerre commerciale. Il menace désormais l'Union européenne de taxes de 200% sur les vins et les spiritueux. Une décision qui risque d'aggraver l'inflation, alors que beaucoup d'Américains souffrent déjà de la hausse des prix. En particulier à New York, où le coût de la vie est de plus en plus élevé. À New York, un habitant sur quatre ne parvient plus à subvenir à ses besoins de base : payer un loyer, se nourrir, se soigner... La pauvreté augmente dans la ville la plus peuplée des États-Unis, et cela se voit dans les centres de distribution alimentaire. Devant les portes du centre de l'Armée du Salut de New York, chaque jour, la file d'attente s'étend sur plusieurs centaines de mètres. Selon le directeur du centre, la demande ne cesse d'augmenter. Il assure qu'il y a 4 à 5 fois plus de monde qu'avant la pandémie. Une tonne de produits alimentaires est distribuée quotidiennement, en plus de 300 repas chauds. Et parmi les bénéficiaires, le centre compte de plus en plus de personnes qui travaillent. Un reportage de notre correspondante à New York, Loubna Anaki. L'administration Trump démantèle les grandes politiques climatiques américaines L'EPA, l'agence de protection de l'environnement américaine a annoncé changement de cap hier. Pour Politico «l'EPA s'attaque au Saint-Graal de la science climatique» en remettant en question la dangerosité des gaz à effet de serre sur la santé. Dans une vidéo publiée hier sur X le chef de l'EPA, Lee Zeldin, annonce s'attaquer à une trentaine de mesures de lutte contre la pollution. Dans le Wall Street Journal, il se justifie : «Cette dérégulation assurera la sécurité des personnes et de l'environnement tout en révisant les règles qui étouffaient notre plein potentiel». Désormais, la mission de l'EPA est de «réduire le coût de l'achat d'une voiture, du chauffage d'une maison et de la gestion d'une entreprise». Politico assure que cette décision vient bouleverser 15 années de politique climatique. Un recadrage total de l'objectif de l'Agence, selon le New York Times. Argentine : scène de chaos à Buenos Aires lors une manifestation de retraitésHier (12 mars 2025), de violents affrontements ont éclaté entre la police et les retraités dans la capitale argentine. Des retraités qui protestent tous les mercredis pour dénoncer la chute considérable de leur pouvoir d'achat depuis la prise de pouvoir de Javier Milei. Ce mercredi 12 mars, des supporters de foot se sont joints aux retraités en solidarité. Notre correspondant Théo Conscience était sur place quand les affrontements ont débuté. Le bilan de ces heurts : au moins 20 blessés, dont le photographe Pablo Grillo, et 26 du côté des policiers. Colombie : le président Petro convoque une consultation populaire La réforme du travail de Gustavo Petro a été retoquée par le Sénat. Le président colombien considère que le vote des sénateurs va à l'encontre de la volonté du peuple. C'est en tout cas ce qu'il expliquait dans une allocution télévisée mardi soir : «Nous pensons que c'est maintenant au peuple de décider, puisque ses représentants n'ont pas été capables de faire résonner la volonté qu'il a exprimée pendant l'élection présidentielle de 2022», a-t-il déclaré. Il va donc organiser une consultation populaire. Une décision qui ne fait pas l'unanimité dans la presse. Dans son éditorial, le quotidien de centre-droit El Tiempo rappelle que les membres du Congrès colombien sont élus au suffrage universel, ils sont donc des représentants légitimes du peuple... et ce même s'ils ont des opinions politiques différentes de celles du président. Pour le média indépendant la Silla Vacia cette initiative de Gustavo Petro, le premier président de gauche du pays, est surtout une façon de prendre le pouls des votants, en vue de l'élection présidentielle de 2026. El Pais ajoute même qu'avec cette consultation, Petro met dans la balance ses quatre années de gouvernement. Le président équatorien forme une alliance avec un mercenaire américainLe président Daniel Noboa a publié hier sur X une photo de sa rencontre avec Erik Prince, le fondateur de Blackwater, une société militaire privée connue pour avoir tué des civils en Irak en 2007. Les deux hommes auraient établi une alliance pour lutter contre le «narcoterrorisme», selon les mots du président, en campagne pour sa réélection. Selon CNN, le gouvernement équatorien n'a pas communiqué sur le contenu de cette alliance avec Erik Prince, qui s'est déjà illustré dans la région en finançant une campagne contre le président Maduro au Venezuela. Expreso met la rencontre en Une et y voit un coup de communication à un mois du second tour de l'élection présidentielle. «Apparaître sur une photo aux côtés d'un mercenaire est un signe que tout message est valable dans une campagne électorale... surtout s'il sert à créer l'illusion que vous avez trouvé la formule pour vaincre le crime organisé», se désole le quotidien, alors que l'Equateur a été classé pays le plus violent d'Amérique latine en 2024. Haïti : prolongation des restrictions aériennes à Port-au-PrinceFrantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste était au micro de RFI ce jeudi pour parler des saisies d'armes qui s'enchaînent depuis quelques jours. Elles permettent aux forces de l'ordre de mettre en lumière les liens qui existent entre différents groupes criminels.Dans ce contexte d'insécurité toujours plus grande, la capitale haïtienne reste isolée. Dans son éditorial, Frantz Duval se demande si les avions vont un jour revenir à Port-au-Prince. Le 12 mars 2025 devait sonner la fin des restrictions de vols des compagnies aériennes américaines vers la capitale après les graves incidents de novembre 2024. Elles ont été prolongées de 6 mois. Le Nouvelliste rend hommage à un grand écrivain, le dernier grand poète littéraire selon le quotidien, Anthony Phelps, décédé à 95 ans. Il était le fondateur d'Haïti Littéraire, un groupe de célèbres poétes haïtiens. Il en était le dernier membre vivant. Il s'est éteint à Montréal, où il vivait. À la Une du journal de la 1ère En Guadeloupe, les coupures d'eau récurrentes sont parfois à l'origine de situations étonnantes.
This episode examines what private military companies and campaigns look like. I discuss traditional and emerging trends in private military warfare which tends to still take place in nation-state warfare. While combat support and combat service support billets have been filled with private military entities for all know history, the emergence of larger and larger forces of private kinetic and trigger puller entities has gotten larger over time.

As we roll into February, we have our latest SITREP for you, and no shortage of interesting news and on goings to discuss. From a somewhat humorous Bill being introduced to add Trump to the Mt. Rushmore monument, to the equally laughable idea of granting a third Presidential term, there's a lot to talk about. The big item in this months report though, comes from a very recent interview with Erik Prince, formerly of Blackwater. As the Trump administration has recently declared Mexican Cartel organizations as terrorist groups, there's a interesting opportunity to leverage the centuries old practice of granting letters of marque and reprisal. If pursued by our government, we could soon see PMC firms deploying contractors on American soil to aid in the fight against the Cartels, and securing our border. As usual, I have a lot to say on all of this, share a good bit of both history, and perspective.Visit our sponsors!Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comAmerican Defense Manufacturing - www.admmfg.comOrion Training Group - www.oriontraininggroup.comOne Hundred Concepts - www.onehundredconcepts.com

Our cell phones are collecting way more data on us than we think, and it's shockingly easy for Big Tech, government agencies, and a wide array of bad actors to access it. Glenn speaks with Erik Prince, retired Navy SEAL and the founder of the private military contractor Blackwater, and Ryan Paterson, retired Marine and Big Tech insider, about their new venture, Unplugged, which aims to solve this massive personal security breach. Erik and Ryan explain how anyone who buys our data can learn our routines, discover who we are, and even know which side of the bed we sleep on: “It's worse than George Orwell even imagined.” Erik and Ryan also address excuses like, “They already have all my data,” or, “I have nothing to hide.” But first, Glenn speaks with Erik about his incredible backstory: Why did he, the son of a successful entrepreneur, become a Navy SEAL and start Blackwater? Erik also provides insight on the conflicts around the world: Can Trump stop the war between Russia and Ukraine? Can Israel free Iran from Islamist tyranny? Was America's war in Iraq for nothing? Is the Chinese Communist Party our greatest adversary? What did Trump's comments about “the enemy within” really mean? Plus, he shares his plan for how to make the U.S. military both less expensive and more efficient at the same time. Disclaimer: Unplugged is a sponsor of "The Glenn Beck Program."
