Podcast appearances and mentions of Fidel Castro

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/dQFvWsh5XCU¿Merecen los cubanos el régimen que los oprime? Esta pregunta, tan repetida como polémica, merece ser analizada desde todos los ángulos. En este video exploramos una de las frases más frecuentes y filosas que circulan sobre Cuba: “los cubanos tienen lo que se merecen”. Una sentencia que parece cerrar cualquier debate, pero que, al mirarla de cerca, revela una trama mucho más compleja. Por un lado, revisamos las ideas de pensadores como Tocqueville, Popper y Montaner, quienes señalan que las sociedades terminan tolerando —y, en cierto modo, aceptando— los gobiernos que no combaten. Recordamos que en 1959 hubo un respaldo masivo a la entrada de Fidel Castro, impulsado por el hartazgo hacia Batista y la esperanza de una democracia renovada. La pasividad, el silencio y la adaptación, incluso por miedo, han sido combustible para la permanencia del régimen. Por el otro, analizamos la perspectiva que cuestiona esta afirmación. Inspirándonos en Arendt, Jaspers y Primo Levi, hablamos de cómo el totalitarismo destruye la capacidad de actuar políticamente, monopoliza la verdad y convierte el miedo en un modo de vida. En este marco, culpar al pueblo entero equivale a invisibilizar la diferencia entre verdugos, cómplices y víctimas. Más que dar una respuesta definitiva, este video es una invitación a reflexionar sobre las condiciones históricas, culturales y políticas que llevan a una nación a caer —y permanecer— bajo el totalitarismo, y sobre el papel que cada uno puede desempeñar para romper ese ciclo.

The Soviets secretly plan to move an arsenal of nuclear weapons to Cuba. It is an audacious move by Nikita Khrushchev, to protect Fidel Castro's communist regime from an American invasion. Since Castro and the Soviet leader met in a New York hotel in 1960, they've had a personal bond. Hosts Nina Khrushcheva and Max Kennedy, relatives of the superpower leaders, tell the story of how America plotted to overthrow Castro and how Khrushchev persuaded the Cuban leader to go along with his bold plan. This is the personal and political history of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Sam Giancana, fu un potente mafioso italo-americano e boss della Chicago Outfit dal 1957 al 1966. La sua ascesa criminale, iniziata negli anni '20 poiché faceva parte della "Banda dei 42" e come guardia del corpo di Al Capone. Giancana è ricordato come un abile e spietato assassino, oltre che per il suo eminente ruolo  nel traffico di droga, gioco d'azzardo e prostituzione. Vanno anche menzionati i suoi presunti legami con la politica statunitense, in particolare con la famiglia Kennedy, ipotizzando che abbia giocato un ruolo chiave nella vittoria elettorale di John F. Kennedy nel 1960, anche attraverso la mediazione di Frank Sinatra. Noti sono anche le teorie cospirative che collegano Giancana agli assassinii di JFK, Robert Kennedy e Marilyn Monroe, e riportano il suo coinvolgimento in un complotto della CIA per uccidere Fidel Castro, sebbene il piano non sia mai stato attuato. Infine, gli estratti raccontano la sua morte misteriosa nel 1975, avvenuta poco prima che testimoniasse davanti a una commissione senatoriale, con il sospetto che la CIA potesse essere coinvolta per prevenire scomode rivelazioni.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/storia-della-mafia-americana--4689841/support.

Manuel, the barber on Calle Roja,  who was no friend of Fidel's,   swept up Castro's beard with his broom. Manuel placed the beard  in a dill pickle jar and called the F.B.I.    Interrogation proved useless  against Castro's infiltrating beard. Torture, truth serum, and offers of amnesty. None of these tactics worked.  The F.B.I. made offers of money, to which Castro's beard just laughed, and said,  “Try again.”  Following months of imprisonment and high level risk assessment, the FBI released Castro's beard. A revolution in the United States was unlikely.   Finding work was not difficult. Castro's beard was offered a job to write  for the socialist rag, La Revolucion. The Department of Labor issued a work visa.  The beard was determined  to make something of itself.  Having lived in Cuba on a dictator's face,  Castro's beard wrote the best articles  on socialism anybody had ever read.   The disembodied beard worked its way to the top. Staff writer, to lead writer, to Editor in Chief. Life was good for the transplanted ideologue.  The beard bought a car and a small bungalow. None of it belonged to Cuba. Castro's beard was happy for a long time.   Many years later, on a cool evening,  Castro's Beard was watching television and  eating dinner at home in Little Havana.  There was a knock on the door.  Not expecting company, the beard said, “Who is it?”  There was a very long pause before the reply.  “Somos los amigos de Fidel Castro.  Señor Castro está muerto.”  We are the friends of Fidel. Mr Castro is dead.  The day Castro's beard had been dreading had arrived.   The beard opened its front door. Two men, dressed in black suits, with skin  the color of gold stood on the porch.  The men smelled of cigar smoke, rum, and fresh limes. They were crying. “Stay here,” said Castro's beard. The beard went to its bedroom, and took a suitcase  from the closet, and started packing.  The men waited on the porch.    Hundreds of thousands—maybe millions— of mourners passed by the glass coffin of Fidel Castro. The line of people waiting to see the dead President's body at Revolution Square, stretched for miles. From its perch on Fidel's cold dead chin,  Castro's beard regarded each mourner with gratitude. Most were silent, some said long and whispering prayers, others wailed and screamed with unfathomable grief.   An old woman addressed Castro's beard directly.  “I'm so glad you're home,” she said, wiping away tears,  “You belong here, on the face of our leader.”  Deep down inside, Castro's beard was certain  The old woman was right.  “May I ask you a question?” said the beard to the woman. The old woman blew her nose into a rag and nodded.  “Did Fidel forget me—did he hate me for failing?” “Never,” the woman said to the beard,  dropping her handkerchief. She smiled. “He loved you for trying.”

https://youtu.be/SCjMVP7T34cLa historia de la Brigada Antonio Maceo no es la que te contaron.En este video revelo cómo el régimen cubano convirtió el llamado “Diálogo del 78” en una operación política y de inteligencia, diseñada para dividir al exilio y limpiar su imagen internacional. Con documentos, testimonios y un análisis histórico minucioso, exploramos cómo 55 jóvenes cubanoamericanos fueron cuidadosamente seleccionados por la Seguridad del Estado para una visita a la isla cargada de simbolismo, propaganda y manipulación emocional. No fue un acto de reconciliación: fue una jugada geopolítica de alto nivel. Verás cómo la nostalgia heredada, la ruptura generacional y la seducción del poder convirtieron a estos jóvenes —consciente o inconscientemente— en engranajes de una maquinaria ideológica. Desde los filtros ideológicos, el documental 55 Hermanos y las órdenes directas de Fidel Castro, hasta la sombra permanente de la Dirección General de Inteligencia, esta es la historia completa y sin maquillaje. Si crees que conocías la historia, prepárate para descubrir la estrategia detrás de cada sonrisa y cada abrazo.

Trump has the solution to the affordability crisis that the [CB] created, get rid of the [CB]. Trump is dismantling the [DS] world wide. The criminal syndicate was setup in many countries to make it virtually impossible to dismantle. But it is being done through peace through strength.

Economy Interesting Development – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Announces New Limits on Foreign Steel and Aluminum, With New 25% Tariff on Steel Derivative Components   Prime Minister Mark Carney is conceding defeat to President Trump and positioning the Canadian economy to be compliant with U.S-Mexico trade regulations. However, Carney is not saying that, indeed he cannot; he's spent over a year telling Canadians that President Trump's trade and economic demands are not going to be accepted by Canada.  However, what he is factually doing is exactly what President Trump has demanded. Prime Minister Carney is saying he is restricting Steel and Aluminum imports from non-free trade agreement countries, and he is lowering the tonnage of Steel and Aluminum that will be permitted for import.  His claim is that this approach will help drive up “domestic demand” for Canadian Steel and Aluminum, but that's ancillary to the real objective. President Trump has demanded Canada stop importing cheap steel and aluminum mostly from China; including manufactured component goods that are made with steel and aluminum (think autos).  Canada would not stop, because they could not stop.  Their manufacturing base, green energy and climate change economy, is more of a component assembly system now. So, President Trump hit Canada with a 35% tariff, and things got ugly.  In June Trump raised the tariff to 50%. The back and forth has gone on all year. Carney now announces restrictions on imported steel and aluminum, as well as restrictions on imported derivative goods that come from steel and aluminum, in combination with a spending plan to bolster the Canadian steel and aluminum manufacturing base.  This ends up shifting the Canadian industrial sector to making steel and aluminum products without Chinese import dependency.

DOGE Trump White House Unleashes Media Bias Tracker to Crush Fake News Narratives  The Trump administration has launched a brand-new “Media Bias Tracker” directly on the White House website. Unveiled on Friday, this tool is designed to call out and document the endless stream of false, misleading, and biased stories peddled by outlets that have spent years attacking President Donald Trump and his agenda. According to the White House, the tracker serves as a “record of the media's false and misleading stories flagged by The White House.” The tracker highlights “offenses” from major news publications, including an “Offender Hall of Shame” and a leaderboard ranking the worst culprits in spreading misinformation. Described as “a race to the bottom,” this feature ranks outlets based on repeat offenses. Topping the Hall of Shame list is The Washington Post, followed by rebranded leftist mouthpieces like MSNBC (now MS NOW), CBS News, CNN, The New York Times, Politico, and The Wall Street Journal. In response to their top spot, a spokesperson for the Washington Post said, “The Washington Post is proud of its accurate, rigorous journalism.” The page also features a “Media Offender of the Week,” currently blasting outlets for exaggerating Trump's calls to hold Democrats accountable for their seditious behavior.

A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.” Then she turns the knife inward: “These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up. But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken. At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.'

Normally, the smart people of Honduras, would reject her, and elect Tito Asfura, but the Communists are trying to trick the people by running a third Candidate, Salvador Nasralla. Nasralla is no friend of Freedom. A borderline Communist, he helped Xiomara Castro by running as her Vice President. He won, and helped Castro win. Then he resigned, and is now pretending to be an anti-Communist only for the purposes of splitting Asfura's vote. The people of Honduras must not be tricked again. The only real friend of Freedom in Honduras is Tito Asfura. Tito and I can work together to fight the Narcocommunists, and bring needed aid to the people of Honduras. I cannot work with Moncada and the Communists, and Nasralla is not a reliable partner for Freedom, and cannot be trusted.

E) Senator Slotkin, the former CIA ghoul, goes on the news and is very careful to state that she can't identify any unlawful orders that have been given. F) boom, the WaPo delivers the story claiming unlawful orders. G) Friday evening, everyone on the left hits social media – with paid amplification – about the unlawful orders.

Venezuela Issues Statement After President Trump Orders All Aircraft to Avoid Regime-Controlled Airspace   In Venezuela's statement, the regime accused the United States of attempting to “intimidate Venezuela” and framed Trump's announcement as an attack on Latin America as a whole. The press release ignored every factual concern raised by U.S. intelligence, including increased military involvement in cocaine transport and the regime's long-standing partnership with the Cartel of the Suns. Today's outburst from the Maduro regime is another example of Venezuela deflecting blame while its role in regional crime expands. Meanwhile, President Trump's position is clear: protect international aviation, disrupt drug networks, and stop allowing a criminal regime to use its airspace as a staging ground.

Many are struggling with discernment, but the strategic reality is simple: Maduro hasn't controlled Venezuela for years. The deep state held the reins. Then the guardians caught him, flipped him and weaponized the façade of control against the deep state. They may publicly acknowledge it; they may bury it. But the aftermath will speak for itself. In the days immediately following his surrender or “death,” watch the information floodgates burst wide open…especially involving U.S. elections. The timing will be surgical. The disclosures will be coordinated. And the narrative collapse will be unmistakable. Zelensky’s Sacked Top Aide ‘Escapes’ To Front-Line To ‘Hide’ From Corruption Investigators  Andriy Yermak, the man who until just over 24 hours ago was Zelensky’s right hand man and the president’s top most powerful aid as chief of staff, and Ukraine’s appointed chief negotiator with the US on the peace process, is going to the front lines, apparently to “fight”. After his home and offices were raided by Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigators Friday related to the ongoing massive energy sector kickback scandal, Yermak announced by text message to The New York Post, “I'm going to the front and am prepared for any reprisals.” He followed with, “I am an honest and decent person.”  According to the lengthy analysis [emphasis ZH]:  Zelensky's fixer, enforcer, gatekeeper, and indispensable ally, isn't a “corruption scandal.” It's Washington slapping the table. NABU, the U.S.-trained attack dog of Ukrainian politics, didn't raid the Presidential Office by accident.It raided to remind Zelensky that the war isn't his to command, the peace process isn't his to veto, and the leash around Bankova Street is held in Washington, not Kiev and certainly not European chihuahuas. Because the real story isn't Yermak's resignation. The real story is the West turning on itself over how to end a war Russia has already won.      Source: thegatewaypundit.com Ukrainian Delegation Arrives in the US To Meet Secretary Rubio, Witkoff and Kushner for Peace Talks  Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky announced Saturday (29) that a peace talks delegation was on its way to the United States.

One electronic communication made public by the Justice Department in court filings related to the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey earlier this month indicated the FBI began a preliminary investigation into the discovery this summer.

In CAN SCIENTISTS SUCCEED WHERE POLITICIANS FAIL? Nobel laureate Peter Agre, MD, recounts his journey from a physician-scientist specializing in malaria research to a leading voice for scientific collaboration and consensus across nations, regardless of ideological and political divisions. Using medical science as his global diplomatic pass, Dr. Agre has traveled to countries led by autocratic regimes hostile to the United States, including North Korea and Iran. During his visits, he forged close, collaborative relationships with local scientists, which led to meetings with ambassadors, presidents, and other rulers—including  tribal leaders in Zambia and Cuba's Fidel Castro.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Durante casi cuatro décadas, la dictadura de Francisco Franco definió las relaciones de España con el mundo. Desde su alineamiento con el Eje durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta los pactos con Estados Unidos en plena Guerra Fría, pasando por el aislamiento internacional, la descolonización en África o las tensiones con Gibraltar, el régimen franquista construyó una política exterior pragmática y cambiante, siempre subordinada a la supervivencia del dictador. Hoy en día, herencias como las bases militares estadounidenses, las relaciones con el mundo árabe o el conflicto del Sáhara siguen siendo fundamentales para entender la España contemporánea. Hoy en "No es el fin del mundo" hablamos de la geopolítica del franquismo. Libros recomendados: "La política exterior del Franquismo", de Julio Gil Pecharromán "La política exterior de España: de 1800 hasta hoy", coord. Juan Carlos Pereira "Yo podría haber sido Fidel Castro", de Pablo Batalla Cueto "Franco", de Julián Casanova "Bajo el manto del Caudillo", de José Luis Rodríguez Jiménez

El dictador buscó en América Latina el apoyo y el reconocimiento que le negaban Estados Unidos y Europa. Sorprendemente, su régimen de derechas apoyó a los gobiernos de Fidel Castro en Cuba y Salvador Allende en Chile.

Paul Gregory reveals that in April 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald, agitated and shaken, confessed to Marina that he attempted to assassinate General Edwin Walker in Dallas. Marina found a note giving her directions if he failed to return. Though she realized he was deeply disturbed, she kept the event secret until the Warren Commission. Shortly after, Oswald moved to New Orleans, seeking to build credentials as a "radical operative" for Fidel Castro, hoping to secure a Cuban visa that would lead to a Soviet visa. Paul Gregory notes that despite his growing delusions, there was absolutely no indication whatsoever that he was planning to assassinate the president of the United States at this time. Guest: Paul Gregory.

Entrevistamos a Carlos Bustelo, exministro de Industria y figura clave en el equipo económico que lideró la Transición. Un relato imprescindible. Carlos Bustelo y García del Real fue ministro de Industria y Energía entre 1979 y 1980, siendo presidente del Gobierno Adolfo Suárez. También ostentó la presidencia del Instituto Nacional de Industria entre 1981 y 1982. Además, fue economista de la OCDE en París entre 1963 y 1965, director ejecutivo del Fondo Monetario Internacional entre 1968 y 1973, y consejero de numerosas empresas, entre ellas, ACESA, Banesto o el Banco de España. Esta semana, visita Economía Para Quedarte Sin Amigos para reflexionar sobre cómo fue, en el terreno económico, aquella Transición ahora tan denostada. Y hubo de todo. Porque, como asegura Bustelo, para la economía española "Franco murió en el peor momento posible", justo cuando la crisis del petróleo golpeaba toda Europa. Nuria Richart y Domingo Soriano le preguntarán ¿cómo era la economía de España en 1975-77? ¿Qué retos afrontaba nuestra economía? ¿Qué se ha hecho bien y qué no en estos cincuenta años? ¿Cuáles fueron los personajes clave de aquellos años? Bustelo, que tiene una memoria colosal, conjuga una triple faceta muy difícil de encontrar: la del protagonista que estuvo en primera fila; la del economista teórico; y la del español de a pie que también vivió aquella época. Por eso su relato sabe combinar el análisis del académico, con las anécdotas del que lo sufrió o lo disfrutó. Como ese día en que tuvo que maniobrar con los americanos para que la General Motors viniera a España o ese otro viaje en el que tuvo que parar los pies a Fidel Castro. Todo un personaje para recordar unos años que casi siempre son muy mal explicados.Música Esta semana, el protagonista de nuestra selección musical es el grupo Beastie Boys. Y estos son los temas que hemos escuchado: "Fight for your right" "No sleep until Brooklyn" "Intergalactic" "Sabotage"

Enfrentados a un proceso de expropiación por parte de las autoridades municipales, un grupo de vecinos de Madrid apostó por declarar su "independencia" de España y buscar el apoyo de Fidel Castro, quien los invitó a La Habana.

https://youtu.be/grdO4L8k_WM En los años 70, la Brigada Antonio Maceo parecía abrir un puente entre Cuba y el exilio cubanoamericano. Pero detrás de ese gesto de aparente reconciliación se movía una maquinaria de propaganda e inteligencia diseñada para dividir a la comunidad en el exterior y reescribir la memoria colectiva.Este video explora cómo una nueva generación de cubanoamericanos, marcada por la Operación Pedro Pan y la efervescencia de la Nueva Izquierda en EE.UU., fue utilizada por el régimen para construir una narrativa alternativa. Conectaremos esta historia con el contexto de la Guerra Fría, la influencia del G-2 y las profundas fracturas que aún hoy persisten en la diáspora cubana.Si quieres entender el exilio cubano más allá de los mitos, y descubrir cómo el poder manipula la identidad y la memoria histórica, este episodio es clave.PRIMERA PARTE: https://youtu.be/grdO4L8k_WM

https://youtu.be/PjuiBw8rsiI ¿Qué cambió realmente entre Cuba y EE.UU. desde los años 70 hasta el deshielo de Obama? La historia, más que repetirse, se recicla.En este video te llevo a través de una reconstrucción histórica del proceso de “institucionalización” del régimen cubano en los años 70, la manipulación del exilio y el llamado Diálogo del 78. Te mostraré cómo el guión usado por el régimen con Obama en 2016 fue solo una versión remasterizada del mismo libreto utilizado en plena Guerra Fría.Conectamos la creación de la Constitución de 1976, la fachada del Parlamento, la profesionalización del aparato cultural tras el Quinquenio Gris, y la rehabilitación simbólica del exilio como estrategia para captar divisas y legitimar al poder. Analizamos también cómo el Ministerio de Cultura sirvió como canalizador de oxígeno sin permitir libertad, y cómo la radio estadounidense logró colarse por la grieta del muro ideológico cubano.Este episodio profundiza en el origen simbólico, económico y político que producirá los sucesos de la embajada del Perú y el Éxodo del Mariel, revelando por qué el cubano fue, una vez más, excluido de la mesa de negociación. Cuba y EE.UU.: El mismo guión desde 1978 hasta Obama. Del Mariel al Deshielo: ¿Por qué Cuba nunca cambia de verdad?. Cuba y el exilio: Reconciliación o manipulación política?

It's Friday, October 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Spanish priest acquitted on hate crime charges for criticizing radical Islam A Spanish Catholic priest who was facing three years in prison for making critical remarks about radical Islam nearly a decade ago has been acquitted, reports The Christian Post. The advocacy organization Abogados Cristianos announced in an X post last Friday that “The Malaga Court [acquitted] Pastor Custodio [Ballester], prosecuted for criticizing Islam: there is no hate crime.” In 2016, Ballester was charged with saying, “Islam does not allow for dialogue. You either believe or you are an infidel who must be subdued one way or another.” The Rev. Franklin Graham praised Ballester's acquittal as “good news” in an X post on Monday.  A report published last month by the Spanish Observatory for Religious Freedom and Conscience found that 69% of the attacks were directed at Christians, while instances of antisemitism grew by 38% compared to 2023 and had increased by 867% since 2022. Senator Schumer's shutdown flip flop, afraid of an AOC challenge Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate, has historically opposed government shutdowns. He opposed a shutdown on October 16, 2013. SCHUMER: “What if I persuaded my caucus to say I'm going to shut the government down. I'm going to not pay our bills unless I get my way. It's a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis.” Then, Senator Schumer opposed a government shutdown on January 25, 2019. SCHUMER: “Shutting down government over a policy difference is self-defeating. We can never hold American workers hostage again.” And, as recently as March 13th of this year, Senator Schumer opposed a government shutdown then. SCHUMER:  “While the [Continuing Resolution] bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down.” But now, Democratic Senator Schumer is leading the fight for the government shutdown, driven by the AOC/Sanders wing of his party. Listen to CNN's John Berman's introduction of his recent appearance. BERMAN: “Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who joins us now from Capitol Hill. Senator, I was saying that every Republican who's gone on TV the last, what nine hours or so, has called this the ‘Schumer Shutdown.” Later, Berman said this. BERMAN: “Everyone in Congress right now, on the Republican side, is really pointing the finger squarely at you personally. And one of the things they're saying is, this is about politics in New York, that you might face a primary from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.” In fact, Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana said as much. KENNEDY: “Senator Schumer, his relationship with the truth is very casual. The truth is that this is a political shutdown. Senator Schumer is nervous as a pregnant nun about losing his re-election to the socialist wing of his party led by Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, which is in control. “Now, we will eventually come out of this shutdown. Here's how I think it will happen. Senator Schumer is a smart man. He's been around a long time. His first car was a chariot. Washington is all he's ever known his entire life. He knows he's on shaky ground here in terms of policy. “So, here's how I think it'll end. Schumer will go to six or eight of his colleagues, Democrats of course, and say, ‘I want you to vote to lift the shutdown.' He'll say, ‘I can't vote with you. I've got to appear to be tough. I may even have to criticize you, but' -- wink wink, nod nod – ‘I'm trying to make the loon wing of the party love me, but you bail me out here.' But he's got to be careful with that, because he doesn't want it to look like a mutiny, because then he looks even weaker.” CA teacher to ICE: “They are not the only ones with guns in this city.” The Department of Homeland Security will refer a California teacher for a possible criminal probe after he made threatening comments toward immigration officials, reports WorldNetDaily.com. Listen to Los Angeles Unified School District history teacher Ron Gochez. GOCHEZ: “Don't forget where you're standing. This is South Central Los Angeles. They are not the only ones with guns in this city. They're not the only ones that don't forget that. And I don't say that because we're calling it for violence. I'm saying that because the people have every right to defend themselves against masked, unidentified gunmen with AR-15s and other military rifles.” Gochez founded the Los Angeles chapter of Union del Barrio—a revolutionary socialist movement that demands an end to capitalism and open borders from Alaska to Chile. The group sees communist dictators like Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Che Guevara as heroes. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said that the teacher's comments endanger ICE agents' lives. New Bible story book injects sexual perversion, gender confusion, and woke ideology And finally, a new children's book of Bible stories claims that the Bible has "made-up" stories and events in its pages, drawing criticism from Focus on the Family, reports The Christian Post. The Just Love Story Bible, authored by Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Rev. Dr. Shannon Harris, reimagines 52 stories from the Old and New Testaments, weaving in sexual perversion, gender confusion, and woke ideology. For them, the Bible is not authoritative; they are. In the book's introduction to Genesis, the woke authors, who are part of the leftist Presbyterian Church (USA), write, "Some of the stories had made-up characters and events. Others were about real people and things that really happened." Harris, an associate dean at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York City, explained her motivation behind the project at a Q&A event for the book in September. HARRIS: “I wanted to do this project with Jackie, because when my kids were little, it was really hard to find a children's Bible that I didn't feel like I had to change some of the words. Like there might be stories that talked about God, like God was a boy (laughing) and only used kind of male language for God. Or they might tell a story, but they wouldn't tell enough about the story to understand whether it was about a made-up character or a real person.” Later, to the audience of parents and young children, she read an excerpt from her woke Just Love Story Bible in which she reinterpreted the plagues and other punishments that God had sent to get Pharoah's attention or the attention of His chosen people, the Jews. HARRIS: “Four natural disasters, one after the other. Well, the prophet and the people thought they were to blame. They thought that the disasters were God's way of punishing them. They didn't know that when bad things happen, like swarms of bugs, floods, earthquakes or tornadoes, it's not God's punishment, but it's easy to worry when bad things happen, to feel like God's angry at you, even when that's not true.” Inspired by the Joel 2:28 passage, Harris also imagined what a young person might envision. HARRIS: “So what did the young people prophesy back then? Perhaps one of them bravely announced to the prophets, priests and people: ‘I don't believe that our loving God sends terrible things to teach us a lesson.'” In an op-ed published by Focus on the Family's news arm, Daily Citizen, Paul Batura warned families about The Just Love Story Bible. He said, "[T]he motives of the authors appear broader and far more dangerous than merely trumpeting diversity. They also want to sow seeds of doubt in children's minds that the events depicted in the Bible are literally true, including the Resurrection.” He added, "Questioning the accuracy and authority of the Bible is hardly a new exercise, but so blatantly and openly selling such a heretical interpretation of God's Word to children undermines God's sacred Word in a particularly dangerous and destructive way." Indeed, 2 Timothy 4:3-4 says, “For a time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."  Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, October 24th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this multi part series. This is Part -11. Events happened in 1965 (April to November) - Travel to Congo Via Tanzania - Fake news about his whereabouts - Mother's death in his absence - Futile exercises to motivate Congo fighters - Retreat with failure are covered in this episode.

https://youtu.be/aQrDAXSKyL8 Mientras Cuba enfrenta apagones, hambre y escasez de medicinas, el ejército cubano maneja un imperio millonario oculto a plena vista.Una reciente investigación del Miami Herald reveló documentos financieros secretos que destapan la verdad detrás del conglomerado GAESA, la estructura empresarial controlada por las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Cuba. Este “Estado dentro del Estado” opera con total impunidad, acumulando una fortuna que supera los 18 mil millones de dólares, mientras el cubano promedio sobrevive con salarios de apenas 5 a 16 dólares al mes.GAESA controla el turismo, las remesas, las gasolineras, los supermercados, la logística portuaria y hasta bancos propios, sin rendir cuentas ni al parlamento ni al Banco Central. En un país donde escasea el arroz y la leche, esta élite militar invierte millones en hoteles vacíos y evade impuestos descaradamente. ¿Cómo es posible que exista tanto dinero guardado, mientras los hospitales colapsan y los niños pasan hambre?Este video analiza no solo la dimensión económica del saqueo, sino su impacto moral y ético: un retrato devastador de cómo el poder absoluto destruye naciones desde adentro.GRACIAS AL ARTÍCULO: Where is Cuba's money? Secret records show the military has massive cash hoard By Nora Gamez Torres

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Bill O'Reilly about his new book Confronting Evil; The Rise of Evil in America and the World; how apathy and ignorance allow destructive ideologies to thrive; the dangers of progressive movements that dismiss morality and justice; the failure of schools to teach civics and truth; why O'Reilly believes 15% of people are inherently evil and the rest must choose between good or indifference; and the importance of confronting evil through truth, courage, and moral clarity; the moral collapse in American politics; how most politicians lack the integrity to provide moral guidance; the decline of religion and traditional values among younger generations; the erosion of law and order in New York City; the dangers of socialist policies under candidates like Zohran Mamdani, whom O'Reilly compares to Fidel Castro; his dark prediction for what will happen to NYC under Mamdani's leadership; how rising taxes, crime, and corruption are driving people and businesses to flee New York City; and the devastating social and economic consequences of progressive leadership; why he believes Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is worse than Gavin Newsom; Pritzker's obsession with hating Trump and his failures in addressing Chicago's violent crime crisis; his rejection of Trump's offer to deploy federal help to combat gang violence; the culture of denial among left-wing leaders ignoring Antifa and lawlessness in cities like Portland; the collapse of legacy media and lack of true debate on cable news; how censorship and echo chambers have weakened journalism; and O'Reilly's reflections on mentoring figures like Jesse Watters; and much more.

https://youtu.be/zkkNaulejRs ¿Existe “el pueblo”? Mises contra el mito revolucionario cubano. ¿Qué pensaría Ludwig von Mises de la Cuba revolucionaria? En este video desmonto el mito del colectivismo castrista usando el lente del individualismo metodológico.La Revolución Cubana ha sido vendida como una gesta del “pueblo unido”, pero ¿quién es realmente ese pueblo? ¿Qué pasa con los individuos cuando se los disuelve en una masa sin rostro? A través del pensamiento de Ludwig von Mises, exploramos cómo el régimen cubano convirtió al colectivo en sujeto político, negando al individuo, su conciencia y su libertad.Desde los fusilamientos justificados por la voluntad popular hasta la ética del resentimiento que impulsó la expropiación masiva, este video expone cómo el castrismo institucionalizó la obediencia y castigó la disidencia. Preguntas incómodas: ¿quién aplaudía los actos de repudio?, ¿quién se benefició del saqueo disfrazado de justicia social?Este análisis es un llamado a recuperar la voz individual en una sociedad entrenada para repetir lemas. Porque como decía Mises, “solo los individuos actúan”. Pensar por uno mismo, en Cuba, es un acto (contra) revolucionario.

https://youtu.be/VQbBuGEYI0o Una nueva filtración de documentos oficiales destapa los viajes de Vilma Rodríguez Castro, nieta de Raúl Castro, a Estados Unidos entre 2012 y 2016 usando pasaporte diplomático. Mientras millones de cubanos soñaban con salir de la isla, la élite disfrutaba de privilegios reservados a una casta.Los archivos confirman al menos cinco viajes a Nueva York, autorizados por el MINREX y aceptados por inmigración estadounidense, bajo la narrativa de “intercambio cultural”. Desde mansiones de Airbnb hasta fotos de lujo en redes sociales, esta filtración expone la distancia obscena entre el discurso oficial de igualdad y la vida de los que gobiernan Cuba.La historia no solo revela la hipocresía del régimen, sino también la indignación selectiva de Estados Unidos, que sanciona a generales mientras permite que los nietos de la cúpula paseen libremente por su territorio. ¿Es realmente una lucha entre dictadura y democracia, o un teatro donde ambos Estados beben del mismo vino?FUENTE: Este VIDEO se basa en la información inicialmente publicada en Martí Noticias por Mario J. Pentón, en su reportaje 'Nieta de Raúl Castro viajó en varias ocasiones a EEUU con pasaporte diplomático y gastos pagos'.

Today, on Crime & Entertainment, we have Cillian Dunne. Cillian spent several months in Panama living with the infamous dictator Manuel Noriega's right-hand man while writing his book, The Right-Hand Man. Noriega's enforcer was trained by Mossad, the DEA, and Fidel Castro. He's a figure most people have never heard of, despite having an influence in shaping U.S. Cold War policy. While researching the book he also uncovered over 200 classified CIA and DEA documents that will be published for the first time. This is a story about how the CIA develops leaders, uses them, and then discards them. This show will be a banger!!Follow Cillian here:https://www.instagram.com/dunne.cillian?igsh=MXBxdjBhamJpaTRpbg==www.therighthandmanbook.comLinks to Crime & EntertainmentLike us on Facebook -   / crimeandentertainment Follow us on IG -    / crimenentertainment Listen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4T67Bs5...Listen on Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Listen on Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/crime-e...Listen on Google Podcast - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0...Listen on Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9cd...

On January 8, 1959, Fidel Castro and his ragtag army marched into Havana and proclaimed victory in the Cuban revolution. Much of the world knew Cuba primarily from its 1930 megahit "El Manicero" ("The Peanut Vendor") and from the mambo craze of the 1950's. After Castro came to power, the economic, political and cultural doors between Cuba and the U.S. would soon be shut. The doors opened briefly for tours by Cuban artists in the U.S. during the Carter and Clinton administrations. In this broadcast, we savor sounds from the pre-Revolutionary golden age of Cuban music that sets the scene for the international success of Cuban music. We illustrate how popular music in Africa and the Americas is not imaginable without the influence of Cuban music--copied and adapted on three continents. We'll hear the stories and rare recordings of such core styles as son - as well as luminaries like Beny Moré, Arsenio Rodriguez, Celia Cruz and the Sexteto Habanero; along with less well known artists.

Yale historian and memoirist Carlos Eire recounts his extraordinary journey from being an 11-year-old Cuban boy in Operation Peter Pan—sent to the United States to escape Fidel Castro's regime—to becoming a National Book Award–winning author and chaired professor at Yale. Eire discusses the painful separation from his family, the challenges of assimilation, and the lifelong tension between his Cuban and American identities, themes he explores in his acclaimed memoirs Waiting for Snow in Havana and Learning to Die in Miami. The conversation also delves into Eire's recent book They Flew: A History of the Impossible, which examines early modern testimonies of levitation, bilocation, and miracles, and how belief, culture, and skepticism shaped their reception. Eire also reflects on Cuban history, the failures of the Castro regime, the broader Hispanic experience in America, and the enduring clash between materialist skepticism and openness to mystery.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA podcast is one of the most influential artists working in the world right now, TANIA BRUGUERA! Hailed for her installation and participatory performance works that blur the boundaries between art and reality, Bruguera has dedicated her life to making work that explores freedom of expression, immigration, totalitarianism, and human rights. She has brought attention to the strict control of Cuban authorities by confronting visitors at Tate Modern with performer police officers on horseback, to setting up an open debate on an official-looking stage at the Havana Biennale to give people license to say what they want for one minute… Her work – often set in the framework of the theatre – has continued to push art to its limits and grant space for important and difficult conversations to take place. As she has said: “In a way, when you talk about politics, there is a lot of theatre involved. And what I'm trying to do with my art is how can we break the classic theatre where everything has already been decided, into a place where people can add something to the discourse”. Born in Cuba in 1968, Bruguera was raised during the era of Fidel Castro by a diplomat and minister father in the Castro government. She moved three times – to Paris, Lebanon, and Panama – before returning to Havana, where she graduated from the Escuela de Arte San Alejandro, and would go onto complete MFAs in painting and performance in Havana and Chicago. Since then, Bruguera has researched both the promise and failings of the Cuban Revolution, in performance pieces that allow her audience to unite and gather together and see and experience what lies behind governmental propaganda. Not only do these works speak universally, transcending time and place, but they are a great comment on the promises and failings of institutions and governments today. The founder of the first performance studies programme in Latin America, known as the Behaviour Art School, Bruguera is also Senior Lecturer in Media & Performance, Theater, Dance & Media at Harvard University, where we are recording with her today, and, as an artist I have admired for a very young age, I really can't wait to find out more. --- My new book, How To Live An Artful Life: https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-live-an-artful-life/katy-hessel/9781529155204 --- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield

HEADLINE: Mikoyan Negotiates the "Crisis of November" with Fidel Castro GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii Plokhy BOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: After the crisis resolution, Nikita Khrushchev rationalized his actions but faced internal criticism. Fidel Castro, who had advocated nuclear attack, felt insulted by the lack of consultation. Khrushchev sent Mikoyan to negotiate with Castro, who refused to allow inspections and sought to retain tactical nuclear weapons, leading to the "crisis of November." The eventual, humiliating Soviet withdrawal verified by US ships was cited in Khrushchev's later removal. 1899 HAVANA

HEADLINE: Black Saturday Escapes Catastrophe: The Submarine and the Downed U-2 GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii Plokhy BOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: Black Saturday(October 27, 1962) saw two accidents nearly trigger nuclear war. In the Sargasso Sea, the Soviet submarine B-59, tracked by the USS Cony, prepared to fire a nuclear torpedo until Captain Vasily Arkhipov overruled the order. Separately in Cuba, Soviet forces, believing invasion was imminent following orders from Fidel Castro, shot down an American U-2plane, killing Major Anderson. 1959

When Fidel Castro overthrew Cuba's dictator in 1959, the Communist leader and provocateur quickly became a threat to the U.S. government. The CIA has been proven responsible for at least eight plots against Castro's life. Despite the creativity of their attempts—including everything from an exploding cigar to a mafia hit—they were ultimately unsuccessful. But if there were reportedly over 600 attempts on Castro's life during his reign, just how many were the CIA actually responsible for?
