Podcasts about Guatemalan

Jon Herold wraps up the week with sharp analysis and a touch of humor, starting with gold's historic surge as foreign banks now hold more gold than U.S. Treasuries for the first time since 1996. He unpacks Trump's latest executive actions, including making federal architecture “beautiful again,” exempting national security agencies from collective bargaining, and cutting off federal grants for lobbying. The big headline is Trump's use of a rare “pocket rescission” to cancel nearly $5 billion in foreign aid, a move that hasn't been attempted since 1977. Herold also covers Trump canceling Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection, deporting Guatemalan children, and canceling offshore wind subsidies. RFK Jr.'s investigation into SSRIs and hormone treatments in connection with transgender school shooters sparks further debate, while chatter about JD Vance as Trump's successor draws skepticism. Packed with cultural asides, community updates, and even a Soft Disclosure shout-out, this episode blends heavy policy with Badlands banter.

Are your "worry dolls" bringing you peace or opening doors to the enemy? Are these Guatemalan worry dolls a child's comfort or a gateway to spiritual attack? In today's episode of the Vertical Relationship Show, Melia exposes the dark side and a real experience she encountered in bringing these innocent-looking dolls into her home. Worry dolls are connected to the Maya Princess, Ixpucane, connected to a sun god, and are used as a tool for children to offload anxieties, fears, and nightmares. While their intended purpose is to alleviate worry – children whisper their problems to the dolls and place them under their pillows for help ... a darker side, often overlooked!

What gives us the courage to follow a path when no one else understands it?In this episode, you'll meet Susanne, who left Switzerland for the Guatemalan jungle and chose a way of life most would find unthinkable. She speaks about the strength that comes from listening deeply — to the body, to nature, to the quiet signals of life that guide us forward.Her story touches on healing, trust, parenting, and simplicity, but also on fear, doubt, and the invisible work of staying true when everything around you suggests otherwise.This isn't a tale of certainty. It's an invitation to notice what nourishes you, what scatters you, and how life changes when we stop trying to control it.About the PodcastColors of Awakening was born in the aftermath of a breaking point. In 2020, a Dark Night of the soul unraveled the life I thought I knew — and with it came a call I could no longer ignore.A year later, I left everything behind not out of certainty, but out of a fragile hope that something might still meet me on the road. I began a journey through the Americas to live closer to nature and to what feels true. Glen and his dog, Zill, joined in, making us a 4 year long trio on the road so far.This podcast grows out of that path of transformation: a wandering that is at once geographical and spiritual, filled with encounters, doubts, unexpected teachers, and moments of grace. It is not a tale of certainty but of being reshaped by what we meet, and of learning — slowly, painfully, sometimes beautifully — how to trust life even, or maybe especially, when it refuses to let us stay the same.Genevievewww.colorsofawakening.comAll our links here: https://linktr.ee/ColorsOfAwakeningThanks for listening!

Kicking off the new season with the spirited Adria Arjona for what was, incredibly, her first solo podcast ever. As someone whose face is literally on billboards outside my place currently, I found this fact both shocking and oddly kismet. It's a special treat to share this unexpected and refreshing punk rock side of her with you all. What you'll discover about Adria is that beyond being gorgeous – which, obviously – she's a dynamic, perceptive citizen of the world with a penchant for doing "bad things." And I mean that in the best possible way. She's the kind of person who makes you immediately start plotting how to become her best friend. Born in Puerto Rico, half Guatemalan, raised in Mexico, and shaped by a nomadic childhood following her father Ricardo Arjona on tour – one of the best-selling Latin American artists of all time – Adria learned early that home isn't a place, it's found in people and rituals. A lesson that serves her well in an industry that keeps her constantly moving between London, LA, and everywhere in between. There are SO many gems here, but a few that really stayed with me is how selling merch on her dad's tours taught her the art of hustling, a career-changing audition failure, and how producing has changed her as an actor for the better.   AOP SUBSTACK

The Unlikely Doctor by Timoti Te Moke Born into love but then thrust into violence, and shaped by struggle, Timoti Te Moke was never destined to be a leader. After an early start as a bright boy in the eastern Bay of Plenty, nurtured by his reo Māori-speaking grandparents, Timoti's life changed sharply when his mother took custody of him when he was six. He survived abuse, state care, gangs and prison, his life marked by trauma and pain. By fourteen, he was behind bars. By twenty, he'd crossed the Tasman, trying to leave his past behind. But it was a moment in a prison cell — a glimpse of blue sky — that sparked a life-altering question: What if this isn't all there is? Through grit and an unyielding drive for justice, Timoti transformed his life. He returned to Aotearoa, became a paramedic and, after facing racism and an unsupported manslaughter charge that nearly derailed his life, became a medical student in his fifties. Timoti is now a fully qualified doctor — proof that brilliance can come from anywhere, and that our society must change to allow it. A powerful, confronting memoir of injustice, identity and the cost of lost potential, The Unlikely Doctor is not just Timoti's story — it is every child's. Because when we remove the barriers for success, we don't just help individuals — we help reshape a nation. The Stars Are a Million Glittering Worlds by Gina Butson Thea, a young woman crushed by guilt, flees to Central America to escape her life in New Zealand. In Guatemala, she meets the charismatic Chris and his partner, Sarah, and the three of them form a tight bond. While the rest of the world is caught in the grip of the global financial crisis, the three friends find a false reality in the backpacker party town of San Pedro. Surrounded by the dark volcanic beauty of the Guatemalan highlands, Thea starts to come to terms with her past. But everything changes when a tragedy occurs. Knowing she has to leave Central America, but not ready to return home, Thea settles in Tasmania and into a new relationship. Bonded by grief, she and her partner make a life for themselves in Hobart. But years later, when tragedy strikes again, all Thea's old grief and guilt - together with unanswered questions - come to the surface. Against the backdrop of the pandemic and lockdowns, Thea begins to question the trust she has in her partner. She realises that if she wants to know the truth, she will need to come clean about her past. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Agency: Guatemalan man deported on July 18 A Beacon resident arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in June has been removed from the country, the agency said on Thursday (Aug. 7). ICE officers detained Santos Belarmino Perez Suchite on June 20 for violations of the Immigration and Nationality Act, an agency spokesperson said. Perez, who lived on North Elm Street, is a Guatemalan national who "admitted he entered the United States by crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in 2024," said Marie Ferguson, the ICE representative. "Not only did this alien blatantly disregard our nation's immigration laws, but he also jeopardized community and officer safety by attempting to flee on foot, leading officials on a brief chase before his capture." ICE removed Perez from the U.S. on July 18, Ferguson said, without specifying where he was sent. Beacon Mayor Lee Kyriacou announced on June 20 that ICE agents had made an arrest in Beacon after his office was informed by residents about their presence. While city officials stated they were unaware of who ICE had detained or the nature of any charges, Police Chief Tom Figlia confirmed with the Federal Bureau of Investigation that an enforcement operation had taken place. "I want to make clear that at no time leading up to this incident did city staff, including our Police Department, have any notice of or involvement in ICE operations," Kyriacou said at the time. "As a city, we remain committed to our safe, inclusive community policy, to preserving rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and to avoiding any policies which engender fear among law-abiding families." Figlia said the following week that ICE returned on June 21, but he did not know if anyone was detained. ICE did not respond at the time to a request from The Current for information. The agency responded to a second request this week but only released information about Perez. "Under President Trump's leadership, Secretary [of Homeland Security Kristi] Noem is reversing former President Biden's catch-and-release policy that allowed millions of unvetted illegal aliens to be let loose on American streets," Ferguson said. "It comes down to one question: Is this person violating our nation's immigration laws? If the answer is yes, we're going to remove them." A Beacon resident wrote in a comment after The Current's June 20 story that he saw the ICE officers on North Elm Street. "ICE, the FBI and what appeared to be one police officer (not from the City of Beacon) staked out the house, parked at different locations along the street around 6 a.m., presumably to apprehend him on his morning commute," he wrote. "I believe the kid they took is one of our local bakers. We talk often. We say hello daily." The federal agents were armed and wearing body armor, he wrote.

Tyrus, Fox News contributor, New York Times best-selling author, and former professional wrestler, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez's viral remark that she is a Guatemalan first and American second, a statement she later defended and accused her critics of xenophobia. Tyrus shared why, as a patriotic African American, he believes no elected official should serve if they're ashamed of the country, and he also weighed in on the growing mainstream recognition of conservative comedy ahead of Gutfeld's The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon appearance. Tyrus also gave a quick preview of his ongoing national tour (tickets available on his social media) and you can listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

At a recent Panamerican Congress in Mexico City, Democratic Rep. Delia Ramirez of Illinois stood before attendees and declared in Spanish, “I'm a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American.” Ramirez, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, helps shape policies vital to the nation's safety. Yet she openly and proudly identifies with another country — and in a foreign language, no less. Ramirez isn't alone. She's part of a growing class of politicians who treat their American citizenship as a formality. Many are first-generation immigrants. Ramirez isn't even that. She was born to an illegal immigrant mother who crossed the border while pregnant and secured birthright citizenship for her daughter. On paper, Ramirez is American. In every other way, she is not.

What if our best intentions were doing more harm than good? In this compelling and unflinchingly honest conversation, global humanitarian consultant Jen Brewer, Vice President at Care for Life, challenges the deeply ingrained dynamics behind the so-called “hero complex,” also known as the white savior complex.Jen's lived experience—once showing up with “20 suitcases full of stuff to give” to Guatemalan communities—serves as the jumping-off point for this raw and revealing discussion about what real help looks like. With decades of international service work, Jen isn't interested in guilt trips or shame tactics. Instead, she invites a shift from paternalistic giving to genuine empowerment.Care for Life's Family Preservation Program in Mozambique provides a concrete model. Rather than offering handouts or short-term missions, they employ local staff to walk with entire communities through multi-year journeys of education, self-reliance, and sustainable growth. Jen makes clear: this isn't about swooping in and saving people—it's about listening, partnering, and trusting communities to lead themselves.“The only tweak we needed to make,” Jen explains, “was to train their doctor—rather than replace them.” That small shift encapsulates her broader message: good intentions aren't enough. Without humility, reflection, and a willingness to step back, well-meaning aid can unintentionally dismantle local economies, erode agency, and reinforce dependency.She contrasts acute and chronic interventions, urging nonprofits to ask hard questions: Are we helping during a crisis—or perpetuating a crisis mindset for long-term issues like poverty? Are donors prepared to support systemic change instead of photo-worthy quick fixes?The impactful discussion also surfaces the unspoken cultural programming behind American charity impulses—whether it's collecting coats for refugees or defaulting to physical donations over economic solutions. It's not that action is wrong, Jen argues. It's that the type of action matters—and often needs recalibrating.Jen is not interested in charity that centers the giver. Instead, she calls for philanthropy that trusts and equips communities to solve their own problems—on their own terms. As she puts it, “If I have a program that requires me to run it, it's a failure in progress.”Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

In a fiery segment, a Democrat Congresswoman ignites backlash after declaring she is "a proud Guatemalan before an American" during a speech in Mexico—triggering fierce criticism from the White House and conservative commentators, who accuse her of anti-Americanism and loyalty to foreign interests. Meanwhile, Rep. Nancy Mace launches her gubernatorial campaign with unapologetically Trump-aligned, America First policies, from zero state income tax to deportation crackdowns. Mace slams establishment Republicans, touts grassroots momentum, and promises to bring MAGA governance to South Carolina. A double-barreled exposé of Democrat identity politics and conservative resurgence.

A viral firestorm erupts as Rep. Delia Ramirez declares “I'm a proud Guatemalan before I am an American” while serving in Congress, triggering intense backlash and fueling broader concerns about national identity and allegiance. This segment dives into what critics call a growing trend in the Democratic Party—placing non-citizens' interests above Americans', erasing distinctions between legal citizens and undocumented immigrants, and using sanctuary policies and census fraud to tip electoral power. As calls grow for accountability—from redistricting battles in Texas to demands for loyalty tests in Congress—conservatives argue that the fight is no longer just about policy, but about preserving the integrity of the nation itself.

In Episode 149, we unpack AG Bondi's bombshell Russiagate grand jury, exposing the Left and mainstream media's attempts to downplay or dismiss the charges as unsubstantiated. We dive into the firing of the BLS head, arguing their years of inaccurate data demand accountability. The UN admits nearly 90% of Gaza aid trucks are seized by Hamas or armed gangs, yet media continues to scapegoat Israel. Congresswoman Ramirez's claim of being “Guatemalan first, American second” sparks debate, while Elizabeth Warren's embrace of Mamdani signals a shift in Democratic priorities. We close with my belief that hard work fosters dignity and adversity builds resilience, offering timeless lessons for overcoming life's challenges.

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 401The Saint of the day is Blessed Stanley RotherBlessed Stanley Rother’s Story On May 25, 1963, Stanley Francis Rother, a farmer’s son from Okarche, Oklahoma, was ordained for his home diocese of Oklahoma City-Tulsa. Having flunked out of the area seminary due to his difficulty with Latin, Fr. Rother finally accepted an invitation to attend Mount St. Mary Seminary in Maryland, where he finished his studies and was approved for ordination. After serving in his local diocese for five years, Fr. Rother joined five priests, three religious sisters, and three laypersons to staff a Guatemalan mission in Santiago Atitlán serving the Tz’utujil people. The Oklahoma City diocese heard the call of Pope John XXIII to send missionaries to foreign lands, especially Central America. These twelve individuals felt the call, and with their bishop's approval, left the comforts of the United States to live and work in Guatemala. By 1975, Fr. Rother was alone at his parish in Santiago Atitlán, the others having returned home for various reasons. He served the Tz’utujil people for 13 years and won their hearts and souls. Ever the farmer, and always unpretentious and mild mannered, Fr. Rother experimented with various crops as well as fulfilling his heavy pastoral duties which included as many as five Masses in four different locations on a given Sunday and as many as 1,000 baptisms a year. Guatemala's civil war reached the highlands and Lake Atitlán by 1980. Government troops camped on the parish farm and Fr. Rother witnessed the assassination of a number of his parishioners, including the parish deacon. Warned of imminent danger, Fr. Rother returned to the United States for three months early in 1981, to visit with his family and friends. Against the advice of his family and the local bishop, Fr. Rother returned to Atitlán to be with his people. He remembered a Sisters’ community who had fled the country and later tried to return but the people asked, “Where were you when we needed you?” On the evening of July 28, three masked men entered the rectory and shot Fr. Rother to death. His beloved parishioners mourned him repeatedly crying, “They have killed our priest.” Pope Francis declared Stanley Rother a martyr on December 2, 2016. He was beatified in Oklahoma City on September 23, 2017. Reflection The declaration of a blessed or saint is always a celebration of the Church as the people of God. To single out an individual for his or her holiness and service builds up the entire community of faith. But this is doubly true for the Church in the United States and in Oklahoma, as one of our own is both declared a martyr for the faith and enrolled in the ranks of those declared Blessed by the Church. May the dedication, faith, and service of Blessed Stanley Rother be a source of strength for all in this country. Learn more about Blessed Stanley Rother!

This week Justin welcomes Dr. Luca Trenta. Luca is an associate professor in international relations at Swansea University in Wales, and is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and of the Higher Education Academy. He's written extensively on covert action and assassination as tools of foreign policy. He's the host of the Out of the Shadows Podcast with nine episodes available now, and he has appeared on four episodes of the Secret Wars Uncovered series on the History Channel. This is Lucas's second appearance on the podcast. Today, he's back to discuss his research into the effects of covert action on the relationship between the US executive and legislative branches, specifically as it applies to Operation PB Success, the overthrow of the Guatemalan government in 1954. PB Success took place during what could be called the Golden Age of Intelligence Operations, which also coincided with very little formal oversight by Congress. Check out Luca's first appearance on episode 150: 'The President's Kill List' here.Connect with Luca:swansea.ac.uk/staff/l.trentaBluesky: @lucatrenta.bsky.socialCheck out the article, ' Secrecy and the Politics of Selective Disclosures: The US Government's Intervention in Guatemala', here.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02684527.2023.2279317Connect with Spycraft 101:Get Justin's latest book, Murder, Intrigue, and Conspiracy: Stories from the Cold War and Beyond, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: shop.spycraft101.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Find Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Check out Justin's second book, Covert Arms, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.Support the show

Pastor Andrew Banker delivered a deeply personal and theologically rich message rooted in Romans 8:1–17, emphasizing our identity in Christ as adopted sons and daughters of God. Sharing from his family's journey through foster care and adoption, Andrew illustrated the transforming power of God's love and how it redefines us. He began by recounting how his family, including five biological and foster children, embraced the call to foster care. Their decision to adopt a Guatemalan baby boy, Elias, was framed not just as an act of love, but as a spiritual metaphor for how God adopts us. Andrew described the day in court when Elias's legal documents were changed—his name, identity, and parental records now fully under Andrew and his wife, Savannah. This experience mirrored what happens spiritually when we accept Christ: we receive a new name, a new identity, and full inheritance as God's children. Andrew taught that this adoption means we are no longer slaves to sin or fear, but children and heirs of God. He noted that in Roman culture, adoption was a powerful legal act—more binding and honorable than even biological inheritance. Paul's use of adoption language in Romans would have had immense significance to his audience. The second point focused on transformation. Once adopted, our desires begin to shift. Citing Romans 8:5, Andrew explained that those who live by the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. This change is not manufactured by effort but occurs naturally as we spend time with our heavenly Father. He used the analogy of coffee—how deeper understanding leads to new appreciation—to show how knowledge and relationship with God lead to changed desires. Andrew then illustrated how trauma and brokenness are not disqualifiers from God's love. Quoting testimonies and referencing stories of abuse and sin, he stressed that God says “I'll take that one”—the wounded, the addicted, the insecure. No past sin or present struggle can separate us from God's love. In Christ, our old record is erased, and a new life begins. Finally, Andrew emphasized that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in believers. This power equips us for a new life filled with hope, identity, and joy. He likened this to giving a child a bicycle—while there may be falls and pain, the ride is worth it, and the Father is always there to guide, protect, and lift us. Discussion Questions Adoption Identity What does it mean to be spiritually adopted by God? How might your life look different if you truly lived out of that identity? Changed Desires What old desires do you struggle with that reflect the “flesh” instead of the Spirit? How can time with God reshape those desires? New Life in Christ Where in your life have you experienced the “new life” Jesus offers? What are some areas where you still need to trust in that transformation? Living Like Sons and Daughters Do you relate to God more like a child or like a worker trying to earn approval? What can you do this week to rest more fully in being God's beloved child? Engagement with Others How might understanding your spiritual adoption empower you to engage with others who feel unworthy or unloved?

Today, we're speaking with Matt Bowles, a longtime Palestinian human rights activist.With a Master's Degree in International Peace and Conflict Resolution, Matt has over two decades of human rights and activism experience. He led activist delegations to monitor human rights abuses in the north of Ireland, co-founded an organization to stop U.S. aid to Israel, organized solidarity delegations to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and did solidarity work with the indigenous Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico.In the past few years, many more people around the world have tuned in to the injustice that has been happening in Palestine for the past 75 years. If you want to understand the origins of this injustice AND what you can do to help stop it, this episode is for you. I first became immersed in the struggle for Palestinian liberation in 2017, when I visited the West Bank and saw the Israeli soldiers at checkpoints, the humiliation of people, the treatment of Arabs like second-class citizens, and the Israeli system of apartheid with my own eyes. Matt has been working on Palestinian solidarity since 1998. It has been so helpful to hear the perspective of someone with this much longer view on the struggle.

So it turns out that Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice lawyers were lying all along when they claimed it's impossible to return to the United States someone they wrongfully deported, because that person was in a sovereign nation and the US had no power or authority to facilitate the person's return. For the first time, the Trump administration HAS facilitated the return of a Guatemalan migrant that they had wrongfully deported to Mexico. A federal judge in Massachusetts ordered the Trump administration to "take all immediate steps" to return the man. The administration complied with that order and now the man is once again back in the US. The obvious question for Donald Trump is: was that REALLY so hard?If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remind them that Trump doesn't have to get re-elected, but they do. They need to keep their hands off our medicare, medicaid, and food assistance because we are NOT OK with them taking OUR money to give themselves tax breaks. Call them every day. Pick a time and take a minute to keep reminding them who they work for. Remind them that WE are the government, NOT them, and that they can be replaced if they abandon us.5calls.org Contacting U.S. SenatorsSure Would be a shame if nobody showed up to Donald's fascist birthday parade250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army Grand Military Parade and CelebrationFind Upcoming Demonstrations And Actions:50501 MovementJune 14th Nationwide Demonstrations - NoKings.orgIndivisible.orgShare your Good News or Good Trouble:dailybeanspod.com/goodFrom The Good NewsSchedule F comments deadline extended to June 7th Federal Register :: Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil ServiceCompassion 4 PawsReminder - you can see the pod pics if you become a Patron.

Mirador is a critical site not only for the conservation of biodiversity, but also cultural heritage. The archaeological importance of this site was emphasized in 2021 when a 3D LiDAR survey led by Dr. Richard Hansen revealed thousands of ancient structures in 25 major cities across the landscape. Unfortunately, deforestation continues to threaten the Maya Biosphere Reserve, and its archaeological sites are threatened by looting and development. With Global Conservation's support and matching funding from Rainforest Trust, the private nonprofit FundaEco has been working hard to stop illegal activities in Parque Nacional Mirador – Rio Azul (Mirador-Rio Azul National Park) and surrounding areas.These efforts are being led by Francisco Asturias, Director of FundaEco Petén and the Mirador Park Rangers. These rangers are a combined team of government police and military, NGO-trained rangers, and community Ecoguards working together to stop wildlife poaching, looting of archaeological sites, illegal logging, and land clearing for cattle ranching.This land clearing is especially contentious because it supports narcotrafficking by providing a medium for money laundering, drug smuggling, and territory control.Richard D. Hansen and Edgar Suyuc L.This book is the result of exhaustive research in the cradle of Maya civilization; the “Mirador Basin”. Dr. Hansen and Mr. Suyuc present readers with over 30 years of archaeological discoveries recovered from the depths of the Guatemalan jungle. Through vivid detail and gripping photos and graphics, Mirador tells the story of fascinating civilization of the Maya. Archaeologists Hansen and Suyuc disperse some of the mysteries surrounding the origins of Maya civilization, including the incredible rise of the Maya to a state-level empire despite the lack of nearby water sources, the enigma surrounding the construction of massive pyramids and superhighways, and the meaning behind the various works of art uncovered during excavations. Mirador invites the reader to enter the world of the ancient Maya empire guided by knowledge and expertise that only stems from true passion on behalf of the authors. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
