Join "Mind Over Murder" co-hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley as they discuss the new book "Death in the Jungle" with author Candace Fleming.  The book tells the bizarre story of the People's Temple, a religious organization which was responsible for the murder of more than 900 temple members in Jonestown, Guyana in November 1978. The temple, which many critics said ultimately became a cult, was led by charismatic leader Jim Jones.Death in the Jungle: Murder, Betrayal, and the Lost Dream of Jonestownhttps://candacefleming.com/books/death_in_the_jungle/American Detective TV series: Colonial Parkway Murders:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp3rNRZnL0EWashingtonian: A Murder on the Rappahannock River:https://www.washingtonian.com/2019/06/27/murder-on-the-rappahannock-river-emerson-stevens-mary-harding-innocence-project/WTKR News 3: One year after development in Colonial Parkway Murders, where do things stand?https://www.wtkr.com/news/in-the-community/historic-triangle/one-year-after-development-in-colonial-parkway-murders-where-do-things-standWon't you help the Mind Over Murder podcast increase our visibility and shine the spotlight on the "Colonial Parkway Murders" and other unsolved cases?

Vi begynder programteksten med en disclaimer. For årets sidste udsendelse kunne godt tendere til at være en anelse selvsmagende. Du skal nemlig kunne abstrahere fra det faktum at Jonas Visti ser tilbage på Jonas Vistis program Vistis Vinyler og udvælger highlights, som Jonas Visti synes er et genlyt værd. Hvis du kan abstrahere fra dét, så skal du både med tilbage til Guyana, hvor programmet blev sendt fra i 3 uger i efteråret. Vi skal også have en utrolig bred pallette af genre som blev præsenteret i årets programmer og ikke mindst en indføring i hvordan man laver den fede programintro. Udover det bliver det afsløret om hvorvidt programmet overhovedet fortsætter i 2026. SKÅL OG GODT NYTÅR.

On this week's episode of Battle Lines Global Health Security, international photojournalist Simon Townsley joins Arthur Scott-Geddes and Sophie O'Sullivan to share his most memorable photographs of 2025. From visiting mpox quarantine zones in Sierra Leone, to bat caves infected with marburg virus, Simon explains the value and pitfalls of ‘parachute' journalism. This year alone, Simon has traveled to Sierra Leone, Guyana, Sudan, Chad, Zambia, Honduras, Kazakhstan, and Burundi. He reflects on how the world has changed in his nearly 40 years of work, and why now people often mistake him as Chinese.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/X5p4hvB_cSAView Simon's images:Guyana's oil bonanza: Will the vast wealth it is generating ever trickle down?https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/guyana-oil-boom-wealth-inequality/‘It's all dead now... nothing will grow': Fish and hippos dissolve in polluted acid riverhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/climate-and-people/zambia-river-pollution-china-industrial-investment/Inside the Red Zone: Sierra Leone's terrifying mpox outbreakhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/inside-sierra-leones-terrifying-mpox-outbreak/Atomic bombs destroyed their lives – now they want Russia to payhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/soviet-union-nuclear-testing-atomic-bomb-kazakhstan/‘I poured gasoline then set fire to my clothes – the flames shot up my body'https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/women-and-girls/kurdistan-iraq-suicide-self-immolation-domestic-violence/‘My child is gone... life is empty': agony of Ukrainian mother collecting her son from the morguehttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/child-gone-life-empty-agony-ukrainian-mother-collecting-son/Producer: Sophie O'SullivanExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsStudio Operator: Meghan Searle► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines Corp. (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joins me for a special video podcast including a comprehensive exploration update expanding upon the updated Resource Estimate of 6.5 million ounces of gold in all categories, from the combined Wenot and Gilt Creek Projects at the Company's 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.   The Omai Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent intrusive-hosted Gilt Creek Deposit, with a combined updated MRE of:   2,121,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE),  averaging 2.07 g/t Au in 31.9Mt & 4,382,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), averaging 1.95 g/t Au in 69.6Mt   Multiple drills have been turning up until this week, with over 79 drill holes that have been completed to date this year, totaling 35,300 meters from the current exploration program at the Omai Gold property.  All these coming drill assays released and still waiting on results from the lab will then factor into updated  project Resource Estimate that will be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in Q2 of 2026.     This updated Preliminary Economic Assessment will be building upon the prior PEA that was released in 2024, which was only on 45% of the mineral inventory focused on the open-pit at Wenot.  That prior PEA did not yet include rest of the resources there at Wenot, nor did it include the underground project economics Gilt Creek.  The updated PEA slated for early next year will be much more advanced and will factor in the combined economics of the open-pit at Wenot, and the underground at Gilt Creek, representing the value proposition of the total project more accurately.     Highlights from the recent drill holes include:   Hole 25ODD-142  (East Wenot) – 11.07 g/t Au over 14.7m, including 34.31 g/t Au over 4.3m   Hole 25ODD-145W  (Central Wenot) – 13.54 g/t Au over 13.3m, including 27.82 g/t Au over 6.2m, and including 63.17 g/t Au over 2.2m     Next we reviewed the results from the very long hole, over 2,000 meters in length, that was drilled through the underground deposit at Gilt Creek over into the area deep under the Wenot deposit.  The geological thesis held up proving that there is also deep sheer resources well below the known mineralization at Wenot.    Highlighted higher grade zones from the upper part of hole 25ODD–122w include:   1.06 g/t Au over 708.1 meters (from 364.9) includes:   1.78 g/t Au over 46.2m (from 635.6 downhole), which includes 4.88 g/t Au over 7.0m (from 566.3m) 1.32 g/t Au over 99.2m (from 702.0m), which includes 5.7 g/t Au over 8.0m (from 766.9m) 3.10 g/t Au over 24.0m (from 395.5m) 1.99 g/t Au over 32.0m (from 462.0m) 2.98 g/t Au over 17.8m (from 643.8m) 2.04 g/t Au over 43.2m (from 952.2m)      Wrapping up we discussed the company valuation compared to peers on a P/NAV basis, metallurgical testing, permitting process, and other derisking work on the Project, gathering data to be utilized in the upcoming PEA.   If you have any questions for Elaine regarding Omai Gold Mines, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to see the latest news from Omai Gold Mines.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Empire, Stability, and the Smokescreen of MoralityBy Renaldo C. McKenzieLet us be honest—brutally honest, the way history demands and empire resents.What is unfolding in Venezuela, and across the wider Caribbean basin, has little to do with democracy, human rights, or some sudden moral awakening in Washington. It has everything to do with power—raw, unapologetic, strategic power—and the anxiety that sets in when that power feels challenged.The United States does not intervene because a government is despotic. If that were the case, half the world's strongmen would be facing sanctions before breakfast. The United States intervenes when dominance is threatened—when a small country dares to rearrange its economic loyalties, when it flirts with alternatives, when it whispers to Beijing or Moscow instead of kneeling to Washington.This is not conjecture. This is pattern. Take Venezuela. The hostility toward the Maduro government is not rooted in humanitarian outrage. It is rooted in the fact that Venezuela has chosen to deepen relations with China and Russia—to do business outside the American orbit. That is the unforgivable sin. Everything else—drugs, dictatorship, democracy—is stage dressing.The same script plays across the Caribbean. Jamaica, like many of its neighbors, has welcomed Chinese investment: ports modernized, infrastructure built, capital flowing where Western lenders once stalled. Suddenly, “stability” becomes a concern. Suddenly, sovereignty is suspect. Funny how that works.This is not about policing the world's conscience. It is about preserving a hierarchy. History offers receipts. In Guyana, the United States once supported a government that was neither democratic nor just—one that violently suppressed dissent and oversaw the assassination of revolutionary scholar Walter Rodney. That regime, led by Forbes Burnham, was later found culpable by a commission of inquiry. Yet at the time, it enjoyed American backing. Why? Because it played ball. It served U.S. interests. Morality, apparently, is negotiable.Contrast that with today. Guyana now hosts massive U.S. oil interests, where American corporations extract vast wealth while the Guyanese people receive a fraction. That arrangement is deemed acceptable—commendable, even. But let Guyana decide tomorrow to nationalize its resources, to partner elsewhere, or to rely on itself, and watch how quickly the tone changes. Hypothetical? Hardly. We have seen this movie before.Consider Cuba—decades under embargo, not because it threatens the world, but because it refuses submission. Consider Ukraine, punished by war for seeking stability outside one imperial sphere and into another. When small nations move independently, the ground shakes.The language of “communism” is the oldest smokescreen in the book. It is wheeled out whenever convenient, retired when inconvenient. The real crime is not ideology—it is disobedience.This is the central argument of my forthcoming book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations. Nations do not collapse simply because of internal failure; they are often pushed—cornered by systems designed to ensure that wealth flows upward and outward, never inward, never locally, never freely.And here lies the uncomfortable truth: empire does not require virtue. It requires compliance.Yes, America wants to remain competitive. That desire is not irrational. But competitiveness built on coercion, embargoes, and destabilization is not leadership—it is fear masquerading as strength. And fear, history tells us, is a dangerous policy advisor.The Caribbean must tread carefully. Sovereignty is costly. Independence comes with consequences. But the alternative—permanent subordination dressed up as partnership—is far more expensive in the long run.Renaldo is the Author of Neoliberalism, 2021) and Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations", contributions by Martin Oppenheimer

From OPEC powerhouses and US shale producers to countries like Guyana, global producers are drilling more oil and driving down prices. And with the potential for a ceasefire in Russia and pressure on Maduro in Venezuela, even more oil could flood the market in 2026. On today’s Big Take podcast, host David Gura sits down with Bloomberg oil trading reporter Alex Longley and Opinion columnist Javier Blas to discuss the forces driving the oil market right now, how they’re impacting different countries and why even lower prices could be on the way.

I had the honor of visiting with Giacomo Prandelli of the Merchant's News Substack. It was a great time. After doing over 1,000 episodes, I can tell if the conversation feels like 5 minutes, it was a good Conversation in Energy.I started reading The Merchant's News Substack and was impressed with Giacomo's (Jack) articles and research. Today's discussion was really a great setup for the geopolitical issues the Trump Adminstration is facing while trying to keep energy prices down. Key Discussion points:1. The current state of the oil and energy markets, including factors affecting oil prices such as geopolitical tensions, production levels, and demand.2. The shifting global power dynamics, with the United States, Russia, China, and India emerging as the key players, while the European Union and the UK are seen as declining in influence.3. The impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on energy markets and the potential role of the United States in shaping the outcome.4. The challenges faced by the renewable energy transition, including the reliability and cost-effectiveness of technologies like wind and solar compared to traditional fossil fuels.5. The potential for countries like Libya and Guyana to become important oil producers with low production costs.6. The issues facing the energy infrastructure and policies in California, particularly the reliance on oil pipelines and the push towards renewable energy.7. The background and motivation behind the Merchant's News Substack, which the host sees as a valuable source of analysis and insights on energy and commodity markets.Time Stamps:00:18 Introduction in Switzerland02:18 Shadow Fleet Ends05:00 Energy Policies and the EU, and UK07:57 World bifurcating into new trading blocs13:18 NATO18:26 Investment Charts Gold, metals, and Oil25:29 Biden and Trump have different moves as leaders29:17 Russia, North Africa, and EuropeDo not judge the site based on the landing page.

Der kleine Karibikstaat Guyana an der Grenze zu Venezuela war lange eines der ärmsten Länder der Welt. Doch vor der Küste lagern etwa elf Milliarden Barrel Öl. Guyana gilt nun als Petrostaat.

Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins me for a comprehensive review of all 4 company Projects, on an operational, developmental and exploration perspective. The Company operates the high-grade San Albino gold mine in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. Mako owns the Moss Mine in Arizona, an open pit gold mine in northwestern Arizona, which is ramping up production. Mako now controls the permitted Mt. Hamilton Gold-Silver Project located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA as the next key development project in the cue.  Mako also holds a 100% interest in the PEA-stage Eagle Mountain Project in Guyana, South America.   Initially we review the San Albino operations, how Q3 was a solid quarter, but not running as optimally as it has been in Q4.  San Albino ranks as one of the highest-grade open pit gold mines globally and this is translating over to great revenues in light of the higher metals prices.  Akiba points out that really Q4 will be the strongest quarter of the year, and this is what company has been guiding all along, but that December is turning out to be the strongest month operationally thus far.   Additionally, we discuss all the district-scale exploration potential and multiple drill rigs turning around the mine and across the land concession.   We also unpack the ramp of mining at the tail end of Q3 and into Q4 at the Moss Mine, in Arizona.   Akiba unpacks some of the operational and site layout challenges their team has overcome or has a process in place to address in the year to come.  Even though Moss is a lower-grade mine, and has only been operating as partial efficiency, it has still been profitable. As mining increases by accessing better areas of the mine, and debottlenecking certain processes, then costs will come down and it should become a bigger contributor as next year progresses.   The Mt. Hamilton Project has all major state and federal permits to allow construction of an open pit, heap leach gold-silver project, and has a current mineral resource estimate with an effective date of September 23, 2025. We discuss the related-party transaction involving Sailfish Royalty Corp, and some of work flying drones over the property a couple of weeks back before the snowy weather came in, setting them up for development work this April.   Additionally, we discussed the 2nd layer of mineralization and value proposition of the Mt Hamilton Project, because it also hosts a tungsten/copper/molybdenum target, located below and independent of the gold and silver Mt. Hamilton MRE. This tungsten target has been defined by over 100,000 ft of historical exploration drilling. In a report by the Department of the Interior, dated August 25, 2025, tungsten (W) was named as one of the top 10 critical metals listed by their estimated probability-weighted impact of supply disruptions on the U.S. economy.  There is the potential to seek government funds allocated for the development of critical minerals for this portion of the deposit down the road as another potential opportunity.   Wrapping up, we delve into the next key steps for permitting and development work at the Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana; set to be in construction in late 2026 and production by H2 of 2027..      If you have any further questions for Akiba regarding Mako Mining, then please email them into me at  Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Mako Mining at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.   Click here for a summary of the recent news out of Mako Mining.   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

As of this afternoon, AIS ship tracking platforms noted her position being just off the east coast of St. Lucia, heading north at around 10 kts.-HomeFront-North Carolina: More details have come to light regarding the stabbing attack that took place on the Blue Line commuter train in Charlotte last week. Back on December 5th, a stabbing was reported on the train, with the assailant eventually being arrested. At the time of the incident, the attacker was not identified, but after a few days authorities said the attacker was Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia, an illegal immigrant from Honduras who had multiple warrants out for past violent crimes, to include aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.Analyst Comment: From here, the situation takes a rather unfortunate turn. Solorzano stabbed a man on the train, who was hospitalized with severe wounds. Earlier this week, the victim was identified as Kenyon Dobie, and was lauded as a hero during the attack because of his efforts to confront the attacker to stop him from harassing other commuters. Dobie did intervene, and prevented the attacker from bothering other passengers, which resulted in him getting stabbed in the process. However, after this news story hit the local media, and the victim made statements in front of the camera, Dobie (the victim) was arrested. Turns out, he had open warrants for his own arrest for beating a pregnant woman so severely she received skull fractures during a domestic dispute. Both Solorzano and Dobie are being held in jail due to Iryna's Law preventing their release.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comment: Unlike many other cases of Digital ID being mandated around the world, Australia has implemented even more dystopian procedures to take effect during this rollout. Of note, the social media platforms which are known to cause extreme harm to children (such as Discord and Roblox) are exempt from the social media ban. However, the platforms that are affected, are impacted in very specific ways.As one might expect, VPNs are popular ways to circumvent such crackdowns on speech. However, the IP addresses associated with VPNs are public record, so social media companies can easily blacklist those IPs, effectively making VPNs useless for evading the ban. At least some platforms have been observed using these blacklists (but not all). For those in the United Kingdom wondering about how their own Digital ID scandal will play out, this might be a clue; Australia is providing a case study for what a more totalitarian crackdown on communications throughout the global West might look like.How serious platforms are taking this plan is anyone's guess, and reports vary widely. Some users report no issues whatsoever with being prompted to verify their age, whereas others have reported every app they have now requiring a face scan. Some users report that they can simply put in a false date of birth with no verification at all, and others report their accounts being hard-locked even though the mandate does

Le monde ne manquera pas de pétrole en 2026, ce n'est pas une surprise, mais ce qui pourrait surprendre, c'est le décalage entre l'offre et les besoins des consommateurs. Pour le géant Trafigura, l'offre pourrait littéralement exploser. Trafigura n'a pas plus de boule de cristal que les autres analystes pour qualifier le niveau de l'offre en 2026, mais dans une vidéo diffusée cette semaine, son chef économiste Saad Rahim fait bien comprendre qu'on s'achemine vers un excédent conséquent. Parmi les raisons qui alimentent ces prévisions, il y a la mise en service l'année prochaine de grands projets, en particulier au Brésil et au Guyana, rappelle le Financial Times. Cette tendance n'est pour l'instant pas influencée par le constat que l'offre mondiale n'a pas augmenté ces deux derniers mois, comme l'indique le dernier rapport mensuel de l'AIE : selon le document, l'offre a baissé de 610 000 barils/jour en novembre, par rapport à octobre, et baissé de 1,5 million de barils/jour par rapport à septembre. Cette chute serait liée, selon l'Agence, à d'importantes interruptions de production imprévues au Koweït et au Kazakhstan, tandis que la production de Russie et du Venezuela, frappés par les sanctions, a fortement diminué. L'inconnue Opep+ L'Agence internationale de l'énergie prévoit une augmentation de l'offre mondiale en pétrole de 3 millions de barils par jour en 2025 et de 2,4 millions de barils par jour supplémentaires en 2026.  La perspective de voir le monde inondé de pétrole en 2026 est cependant suspendue à plusieurs inconnues, à commencer par la stratégie des pays de l'OPEP+ qui ont recommencé à produire plus ces derniers mois avant d'annoncer une pause dans leurs ajustements de production au premier trimestre prochain. Tout dépendra aussi de l'évolution de la production américaine et d'un éventuel renforcement des sanctions existantes sur certaines origines de brut.  Une demande qui n'est pas à la hauteur Si les prévisions de production varient d'un organisme à l'autre, tous s'accordent pour dire que la demande ne sera pas à la hauteur. Même si elle devait être deux fois plus forte que les projections actuelles, elle ne suffirait pas à absorber les volumes de pétrole mis sur le marché, résume le chef économiste de Trafigura. L'économie mondiale peine à décoller, et les analystes anticipent une demande chinoise de pétrole qui augmentera moins vite l'année prochaine. Le pays a beaucoup acheté cette année pour profiter des prix en baisse et remplir ses stocks stratégiques, mais personne ne sait si les importations continueront à ce rythme.  Des prix toujours en baisse en 2026 ? Le niveau d'excédent est une donnée capitale, car s'il est effectivement en hausse, les prix pourraient encore baisser. Les perspectives pour l'année prochaine ne sont pas différentes de la tendance 2025, année qui a vu le prix du Brent chuter de plus de 15%. En octobre, Trafigura, qui traite chaque jour plus de six millions de barils de pétrole, comme le rappelle le journal Les Echos, tablait sur des prix qui pourraient flirter avec les 50 dollars le baril pendant les fêtes de fin d'année avant de remonter.  Les marchés ne réagissent pas qu'à l'abondance, ils sont aussi influencés par les stocks mondiaux : ils ont atteint en octobre leur plus haut niveau en quatre ans, selon l'Agence internationale de l'énergie (AIE).

This session will examine key considerations for leaders, senders, and international travelers/workers in the areas of duty of care, risk assessment, contingency planning, security, and common pitfalls ("lessons learned") in international mission work.

A los ocho años, Nicolás Carvajal dejó Colombia y emigró a Inglaterra con su familia. Allí creció, se graduó de Derecho y desarrolló una profunda conexión con el mar. Esa pasión lo llevó a convertirse en buzo comercial y a realizar complejas labores submarinas para distintas industrias alrededor del mundo. Con el tiempo, sus visitas a Colombia se fueron postergando, hasta que su abuelo fue diagnosticado con cáncer y Nicolás decidió viajar para despedirse. Esa visita a Bogotá, para acompañarlo en sus últimos días, marcó un antes y un después en su vida.En honor a su abuelo nació una idea tan descabellada como poderosa: cruzar el océano Atlántico completamente solo y a remo. Nicolás se preparó durante meses: aprendió a remar desde cero, construyó su propio bote, reunió cada herramienta necesaria y buscó la guía de remeros ingleses pioneros en travesías oceánicas.En enero de 2012 zarpó desde las Islas Canarias. Fueron 84 días de adversidades extremas en altamar: una fractura de muñeca, un grave incidente con la embarcación, olas de hasta 10 metros y múltiples contratiempos que pusieron a prueba su fortaleza física y mental. Aun así, logró llegar a Guyana, donde sus padres lo esperaban para celebrar su hazaña.Hoy, doce años después, Nicolás vive en Colombia, trabaja con veteranos de las fuerzas armadas británicas y es conferencista. Pero su experiencia también ha estado marcada por la pérdida: ha visto a compañeros quitarse la vida tras luchar contra graves problemas de salud mental. Esta realidad lo impulsó a emprender un nuevo reto, aún más ambicioso. Ahora, Nicolás se prepara para cruzar el océano Pacífico, remando en solitario desde Sudamérica hasta Australia. Un trayecto 2,5 veces más largo que su cruce del Atlántico, pero a través del cual espera recaudar la mayor cantidad de fondos posible para apoyar la lucha contra las enfermedades mentales que aquejan a miles de hombres en la actualidad.@carvajal.nic

Una barca che esplode nel buio dei Caraibi accende la crisi più pericolosa degli ultimi anni: gli Stati Uniti schierano portaerei, bombardieri, basi riattivate e operazioni segrete della CIA, dichiarando che “qualsiasi Paese collegato alla droga può essere attaccato”. Ma dietro la narrativa della guerra ai cartelli si muove un piano molto più grande: la Dottrina Monroe che torna a ridisegnare l'America Latina, la Cina che ha investito miliardi in Venezuela, le riserve di petrolio più grandi del mondo, la tensione con la Guyana e un regime che sopravvive grazie a un sistema di potere fragile e corrotto. Mentre Washington minaccia raid e blocchi aerei, si moltiplicano le barche distrutte senza processo e i segnali militari puntano tutti verso Caracas, in un gioco di forza che ricorda l'Iraq ma con rischi ancora più elevati. E mentre la geopolitica si infiamma, i mercati reagiscono: il petrolio diventa immediatamente sensibile a ogni movimento navale, l'oro sale come rifugio, il VIX si impenna, le valute sudamericane si indeboliscono e gli investitori rivalutano la probabilità di un conflitto che cambierebbe i prezzi globali di energia, materie prime e rischio finanziario. Tra minacce militari, strategia, propaganda e silenzi di Cina e Russia, il Venezuela diventa la scacchiera su cui si gioca una partita di potere che non riguarda solo Caracas, ma gli equilibri del mondo. E la domanda finale è quella che nessuno vuole affrontare: cosa succede quando una superpotenza decide che non vuole più aspettare?

In this episode, Jeffrey Sachs joins me to break down some of the most pressing geopolitical issues facing America today.

Ghost opens Episode 59 with humor, Encanto music, and a reminder of how absurd the global news cycle has become before diving headfirst into Venezuela's rapidly escalating geopolitical storm. He breaks down Nicolás Maduro's explosive claim that U.S. banks and intelligence agencies—not Latin America—are the true center of global drug trafficking, then contrasts that with the U.S. designating the “Cartel of the Suns” a terrorist organization and launching deadly boat strikes across the region. Ghost analyzes viral clips of Maduro dancing, the wave of flight cancellations after FAA warnings, and the massive U.S. naval buildup near Venezuela, questioning who is actually pushing for conflict. He explores the contested Guyana oil fields, Chevron's strategic legal maneuvers, British intelligence suddenly halting information sharing, and how the battle for Essequibo ties into global power plays involving China, Russia, Exxon, and 5 Eyes. Ghost highlights the propaganda, psyops, neocon pressure, CIA narratives, and media manipulation fueling panic—while emphasizing how every faction is playing its own game. A sharp, funny, and deeply detailed breakdown of a chaotic moment where nothing is as it seems.

A new board of peace is being put together that will team up world leaders from around the globe and will be chaired by the one and only Donald J. Trump. The board will feature rulers from places like China, Russia, Pakistan, Guyana and elsewhere, and the gathered support from countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. But any time a major world leader starts talking about peace in the Middle East, believers should perk up their ears because Scripture is crystal clear, there will come a false sense of peace in the last days, a peace that paves the way for sudden destruction. God's Word warns us that a future world leader will, quote, "confirm a covenant with many" and bring a deceptive peace that sets the stage for the Great Tribulation. And while the geopolitical world is starting to sound like the script of end times prophecy, and nations are crying, "peace and security", and global leaders are pushing deals that reshape Jerusalem's future, this is precisely the time we need to be awake, discerning, and anchored in Scripture.

This missions-focused panel emphasizes that God has written Himself into humanity's story through Christ, and now the church is called to help others discover this truth. Using C.S. Lewis's illustration of Macbeth and Shakespeare, Pastor Tom Messer explains that we could never know God unless He revealed Himself to us—which He did through the incarnation. The sermon features testimonies from multiple missionaries, including Ed Gibson (53 years in missions), Jeff and Deanne Duvall (Ecuador), and Mackenzie Beamer (heading to Scotland), highlighting Trinity's rich missions heritage. The central message is that missions isn't optional—it's the heartbeat of the church's purpose. Every believer is called to participate through praying, giving, sending, and going. The church celebrates strategic partnerships in Togo (working toward 190,000 disciples by 2030), Guatemala, Guyana, and other nations, emphasizing that the strength of a church isn't measured by attendance but by how many people it sends out to advance the gospel.

Green & Red has been at the forefront of refuting the various romantic versions, lies,and conspiracy theories about JFK and we once again discuss the reality of Kennedy. For decades now, especially after Oliver Stone's JFK created the idea that Kennedy had changed course and was going to withdraw from Vietnam, develop a relationship with Cuba, and end the Cold War, various pundits and commentators, including many on the Left, have accepted Stone's revisionist ideas and now present them as fact.But the reality, rooted in documents and archives, is very different. Kennedy was a consummate Cold Warrior who came to office dedicated to flex American muscle and extend American empire. We began by discussing his approach to Latin America, where he made the overthrow of Castro in Cuba one of his first priorities at the Bay of Pigs and then, despite Stone's insistence he'd had a change of heart and mind after the Missile Crisis continued to subvert Cuba in the hopes of ousting the government there. Meanwhile, he developed an internal security model for all of Latin America in order to prevent Left movements from gaining momentum. In this context he also subverted governments in places like Brazil and Guyana.Of course, the main point of Stone's argument related to Vietnam, where he and his followers claim that JFK had decided to wind down and withdraw from Vietnam in 1963. The reality was very different. Kennedy actually ignored the advice of U.S. military officials, who consistently warned that Vietnam was not an American security priority, that American troops weren't well-trained and prepared to fight a jungle guerrilla war, and he authorized a coup against Ngo Dinh Diem, surely a sign that he was not preparing a withdrawal.Conspiracies are anti-political . . . the seek good individuals and heroes and posit that nefarious characters in the "deep state" are upending the better angels in government. These theories distract us, especially on the Left, from analyzing systems and structures, like the ruling class. The continued obsession with Stone's conspiracies may be lucrative for some, but they're a dead end for people trying to make sense of American power and resist it.For more on this, see "JFK: 60 Years of Myths and Disinformation" with links to relevant articles and podcasts, at https://afflictthecomfortable.org/2023/11/22/jfk-60-years-of-myths-and-disinformation/——————-

Most of us think we'd never fall for a cult. We imagine the followers of Jim Jones as naïve, brainwashed, or broken people who “drank the Kool-Aid.” But what if that's not the truth at all?In this eye-opening episode, host Gabe Howard speaks with the award-winning author of “Death in the Jungle: Murder, Betrayal, and the Lost Dream of Jonestown,” Candace Fleming, about the real story behind Jonestown, aka the Peoples Temple, and the mass suicide that shocked the world. Fleming reveals how ordinary, intelligent, and socially conscious people were slowly drawn into Jim Jones's orbit — not because they wanted to die, but because they wanted to belong, to matter, and to change the world. Listener takeaways: Discover nine warning signs of a destructive or cult-like group. Learn why intelligent, well-intentioned people joined Jim Jones' cult. Explore how to recognize and protect yourself from coercive influences. Listen in as they explore how groupthink, manipulation, and gradual isolation can transform a movement with noble intentions into something deeply destructive.  Together, they dismantle the myths surrounding cults and reveal the psychological, emotional, and social dynamics that allow them to take hold. Ultimately, their conversation challenges us to confront an unsettling question: Could it happen to any of us? “They had started people with Peoples Temple, some of them back in the ‘50s when it was still in Indianapolis and truly was an integrated church, unheard of in the '50s. They followed Jones to California and then on to Guyana. And all of that was because of their own community. So people came for many reasons, but none of them because they were, as we would like to say, cultists, brainwashed, crazy.” ~Candace Fleming Our host, Candace Fleming, is the prolific and versatile award-winning author of many books for children and young adults. School Library Journal praised her most recent title, Murder Among Friends, which received four starred reviews, as a "chilling page-turner." Her previous book The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh received six starred reviews, was a Kirkus, PW, Booklist, and SLJ Best Book of the Year, and was hailed by the Wall Street Journal as a “fascinating chronicle.” Candace's The Family Romanov also received six starred reviews, won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Nonfiction and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and was recognized as a Sibert Nonfiction Honor Book. Her many acclaimed picture books include Giant Squid, a Sibert Honor Book. Visit her on the web at candacefleming.com.

Interview with Justin van der Toorn, President & CEO of Greenheart Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/greenheart-gold-tsxvghrt-proven-explorer-accelerates-guiana-shield-drilling-for-major-discovery-8003Recording date: 17th November 2025Greenheart Gold (TSXV:GHRT) is leveraging a proven management team and substantial capital base to pursue multiple gold discoveries across Guyana and Suriname. Led by President and CEO Justin van der Toorn, the executive team previously built Reunion Gold and discovered the 6-million-ounce Oko West deposit, which is now advancing toward production in 2027. This track record provides credibility as Greenheart pursues its disciplined exploration strategy across the highly prospective Guyana Shield.The company's most distinguishing feature is its approximately $35 million cash position—unusual for a junior explorer. This capital cushion enables Greenheart to operate differently than competitors, maintaining exploration momentum across multiple projects simultaneously without the constant pressure of capital raises and shareholder dilution. As van der Toorn explains, this financial flexibility allows systematic project evaluation where promising targets advance quickly while underperforming projects are dropped without hesitation.Greenheart has already demonstrated this discipline by relinquishing certain Guyana projects that failed to generate attractive drilling targets or lacked the scale necessary for economic development. The company recognizes that discovery thresholds vary significantly based on location—projects near existing operations like Newmont's Merian mine could be valuable with smaller discoveries, while remote interior projects require substantially larger deposits.Currently, Greenheart is executing an active drilling program at its Majorodam project in Suriname, with 1,500 meters planned by year-end. The program builds on earlier reverse circulation and diamond drilling that established structural controls on mineralization. Additional drilling campaigns are scheduled for Igab in January 2026 and Tosso Creek in Q1 2026, creating multiple discovery opportunities over approximately six months.Operating in Guyana and Suriname provides significant jurisdictional advantages, including efficient permitting and established infrastructure. The Oko West example demonstrates what's achievable: a seven-year timeline from discovery to production, remarkably fast by global standards. Greenheart maintains all-in drilling costs of approximately $300 per meter despite challenging jungle terrain, reflecting operational efficiency developed through years of regional work.Despite favorable gold market conditions creating investor demand for rapid results, Greenheart maintains its methodical approach of thorough soil sampling, trenching, and structural mapping before committing significant drill capital. This strategy optimizes capital efficiency even if it doesn't generate the rapid-fire news releases some investors expect in strong markets.With three Suriname projects at various advancement stages, proven management expertise, operational efficiency, and financial flexibility to maintain exploration momentum, Greenheart Gold has positioned itself to systematically pursue new discoveries in one of the world's premier exploration environments.View Greenheart Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/greenheart-gold

Get access to The Backroom (80+ exclusive episodes) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined again by regular guest Benjamin Studebaker, political theorist and PhD from University of Cambridge to break down everything you need to know about Venezuela. In the public episode, Studebaker and I break down the situation in Venezuela, US aggression, and unpack the history of Venezuela as a case study of petrostates and Why Nations Fail while others get rich. We also analyze Trump's regime change ambitions and the risk of war, the rise and unraveling of Chávez and Maduro, the oil curse that wrecked Venezuelan socialism, and why so many post-colonial petrol states get trapped between getting rich and falling apart. Along the way, we break down how nations really become wealthy or fail, debunk popular myths about development and decolonization, and map the structural traps that still ensnare countries in the Global South.In The Backroom exclusive episode on Patreon, we discuss the limits of anti-imperialist politics,  Israel-Palestine, and the tragic legacy of decolonization in Africa, then dive into more niche political theory debates where I introduce Ben to my early ideas about “The Will and the Spirit” and debate the question of political influence and what we can actually DO to change anything. Timestamps:00:00:00  The Backroom Preview: Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism00:06:27  WTF is Happening Between Venezuela and the USA? 00:08:35  Petrol states 101, Dutch Disease, and US Sanctions00:22:48  War Powers and the Imperial Presidency00:30:33  Hugo Chávez, the Bolivarian Revolution, and Maduro00:35:28  Hyperinflation, Corruption, and the Militocracy Trap00:44:02  Libya, and The New Regime-Change Playbook00:49:21  The Guyana border crisis00:55:09  Gulf monarchies, migrant underclasses, and “successful” petrol states00:59:26  Trump's military build-up and scenarios for a Venezuela war01:06:47  Eastern Europe democratization vs Middle East Interventions 01:17:17  Cartels, Mexico, Argentina, and the Latin American security order01:35:07  The Truth about Maduro and Venezuelan democracy01:50:03  Pseudo-activity and limits of anti-imperialist activism 01:54:09  Palestine, anti-imperialism, and what counts as politics (The Backroom Transition)GUEST:Benjamin Studebaker - political theorist, PhD in Politics from the University of Cambridge.• Substack: https://bmstudebaker.substack.com/  • Blog: https://benjaminstudebaker.com  • X/Twitter: https://x.com/BMStudebaker  FOLLOW 1Dime• Substack (Articles and Essays):** https://substack.com/@tonyof1dime  •X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial  • Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dimeigsh=MWNuMjhpMHoxbHBwZg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr  • Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1Dimee  Outro Music by Karl CaseyLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

To brødre. Ét land. To vidt forskellige drømme om fremtiden. Da det lille land Guyana finder et af verdens største oliefelter, kalder Lars det en velsignelse - og Jan en forbandelse. Nu har regnskovslandet verdens højeste vækst, og Simon Stefanski er rejst dertil for at se, hvem af brødrene, der fik ret. Mens verdens ledere i dag mødes til COP30 i Brasilien, spørger vi: Kan små, fattige lande nogensinde sige nej til olie, hvis den er en vej ud af fattigdom - også selvom det bliver med en sort samvittighed?

When a U.S. congressman boards a plane to investigate a remote religious settlement, he expects a diplomatic visit — not a reckoning. What begins as a routine inquiry quickly unravels into something far darker, fueled by secrecy, devotion, and fear. In this episode, the line between faith and control begins to blur… and the world starts to take notice.Trigger Warnings:Mass MurderSuicideCultBrainwashingReligious Trauma Deadly Faith PATREON: https://patreon.com/DeadlyFaithPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkDeadly Drip Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/deadly-drip/?utm_source=facebook_messenger&utm_medium=store_page_published_share&utm_campaign=deadly-drip&utm_content=default Need A Podcast Editor?

Creativity through the lens of an author, screenwriter, producer and podcaster"I experience creativity, as an idea that wants to come through me."Having grown up overseas (in both Guyana, South America as well as Lahore, Pakistan) it was only later that I understood that my childhood has dramatically shaped me in ways that I did not expect. I live an enchanted life and besides for being a "creative" and author, I also have an animated series on YouTube called "Murder of 2," about two crows who sit on a line and observe humanity, as well as multiple other projects I'm working on right now.https://bytesizedblessings.com/https://www.facebook.com/kirsten.rudberg.7https://www.facebook.com/bytesizedblessingshttps://www.instagram.com/bytesizedblessingspod/https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=byte+sized+blessingsSend us a text

Before the world knew his name, Jim Jones was just a small-town preacher with a big vision. He spoke about justice, equality, and love when few others dared to — drawing in crowds who saw him as a voice for the forgotten. But behind the sermons and the smiles was a man driven by something more than faith.In Part One, we explore the rise of Jim Jones — his early life, his calling to ministry, and how his hunger to lead began to blur the lines between pastor and prophet.Trigger Warnings:RacismAnimal DeathRapeViolenceCults Deadly Faith PATREON: https://patreon.com/DeadlyFaithPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkDeadly Drip Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/deadly-drip/?utm_source=facebook_messenger&utm_medium=store_page_published_share&utm_campaign=deadly-drip&utm_content=default Need A Podcast Editor?

‘Don’t drink the Kool-Aid’ is inmiddels een veelgebruikte uitdrukking, die de toehoorder op het hart drukt niet zomaar de woorden van een charismatische leider aan te nemen. De uitspraak is geïnspireerd op de zogenoemde Jonestown Massacre, waarbij sekteleider Jim Jones zijn 915 volgelingen overtuigde zelfmoord te plegen door het drinken van Kool-Aid vermengd met cyanide. Voor zijn nieuwe boek Hotel De Wereld: Wageningen, Suriname en andere postkoloniale tragedies bezoekt Frank Westerman de jungle van Guyana, waar de dramatische gebeurtenis zich bijna vijftig jaar geleden afspeelde. Hoe kreeg Jones zijn volgelingen zo ver hem te volgen? En waarom is het zoveel makkelijker om iets af te breken dan om iets op te bouwen? Over deze vragen spreekt hij deze week in de podcast, terwijl hij tegelijk pleit voor twijfel en nieuwsgierigheid. Als jonge, bevlogen ontwikkelingshulpstudent in Wageningen was hij namelijk op veel vlakken zekerder van zijn zaak dan nu.

Vom kleinen karibischen Paradies zum globalen Erdölproduzenten: Guyana in Südamerika gilt als am schnellsten wachsende Wirtschaftsnation der Welt.

The Amazon rainforest is home to billions of trees, animals and people. It's spread across nine countries in South America - Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela - but the majority of it, almost 60%, is in Brazil. As well as being rich in biodiversity, the Amazon is also very important in the world's fight against climate change; as it absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. But the Amazon has been declining. In fact, in 2022 Brazil set a new deforestation record for the amount of trees cut down in the rainforest in one month. This impact is being felt directly by the indigenous groups who have been living there for thousands of years, but also the world as a whole. In this episode we're joined by Graihagh Jackson, from the BBC's The Climate Question podcast, and Dr Erika Berenguer, who's a Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford and Lancaster. We chat about why the Amazon is so important, and what's being done to protect it. This year's climate summit Cop30 is being held in Belem, in the Amazon, for the first time. So we also discuss what impact this could have on the world's largest rainforest.

In a Halloween special packed with intel, humor, and high signal, Ghost dives deep into the tangled web connecting Venezuela, Colombia, and global power players. From Tucker Carlson's interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor to Maduro's quiet war on the cartels, Ghost exposes how the mainstream narrative hides a deeper battle between globalist corruption and a rising sovereign alliance led by Trump, Putin, Xi, and MBS. He breaks down the oil wars between Guyana and Venezuela, Trump's Asia tour and trade deals, Saudi Arabia's “Davos in the Desert,” and how the global economic order is being rewritten before our eyes. The episode also dissects Israel's Mossad scandals, the brewing conflicts in Gaza and Turkey, and Trump's surprising nuclear statements, all tied together with Ghost's signature insight, historical context, and a few family Halloween laughs.

The US has ramped up its naval presence in the Caribbean, following several strikes against suspected drug smuggling vessels off the coast of major oil producer Venezuela. Yet oil prices have barely budged as Latin American production continues to ramp up. What is the role of Guyana and Argentina's emerging crudes, and how do flows to destinations like India fit into Trump's strategy? How are Permian operators responding to sustained low prices? Jeff Mower unpacks how low oil prices play into the Trump administration's military push in the Caribbean, along with Latin America oil markets reporter Jada Johnson and senior news reporters Ashok Dutta and Eamonn Brennan.
