There is no cricket in the Caribbean without Politricks. Last year Cricket West Indies held a critical meeting to look at the Wehby report and implement some more much needed governance reform. Alas the Barbados and Guyana cricket associations refused to show up to the meeting thereby impeding the process (disclaimer: they did eventually agree to the same recommendations a few months later). This isnt the first time they have acted in this manner and likely wont be the last. Machel had to jump into the studio to address the issue and ask whether Barbados and Guyana really want West Indies cricket to succeed?

Global Geopolitics and Military Displays Colonel Jeff McCausland discusses a Beijing military parade featuring Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, and Vladimir Putin, interpreting it as a message of strength and innovation, not peace, while downplaying the US role in WWII. He also covers the static battle lines in Ukraine, European proposals for a military force, and US involvement in Middle East conflicts in Yemen and Gaza, noting a tactical agreement with the Houthis. 915-930 : John Batchelor 09-03 segment 2.mp3 Guest: Colonel Jeff McCausland, United States Army retired artilleryman, CBS News, Dickinson College visiting professor, and Diamond 6 Leadership and Strategy CEO. Pentagon's Evolving Mission and Global Order Colonel Jeff McCausland discusses the new national military strategy emphasizing homeland defense as the primary mission for the Department of Defense, shifting from an international "cop on the beat" role to a domestic one. This is reflected in increased border forces and Caribbean operations. McCausland also touches on China's ambition to establish a new global order, returning to its perceived historical position as a superpower, utilizing organizations like BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.930-945 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 3.mp3 Guest: John Cochrane at the Hoover Institution. Federal Reserve Independence and Financial Regulation John Cochrane explores the complex debate on whether financial regulation should be integrated with or separated from monetary policy and less independent of Congress. He raises concerns about the Fed's independence, its failure to foresee the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, and the "too big to fail" phenomenon. Cochrane also discusses the risks of the Fed monetizing debt, its stance on stablecoins, and how its actions influence fiscal policy. 945-1000 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 4.mp3 Guest: John Cochrane of the Hoover Institution. Reforming the Federal Reserve's Role John Cochrane addresses proposals to reorganize the Federal Reserve, questioning whether it should become more political or have its scope narrowed to monetary policy, his preferred option. He criticizes the Fed'spandemic response, specifically its decision to print trillions of dollars for deficits, which he argues was a choice leading to the 2022 inflation. Cochrane also examines the wisdom of Quantitative Easing (QE), suggesting it had limited economic impact but expanded the Fed's political influence. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 5.mp3 Guests: Gordon Chang and General Blaine Holt, US Air Force General, retired. China's Historical Revisionism and Autocratic Alliances Gordon Chang and General Blaine Holtdiscuss China's military parade, led by Xi Jinping, which falsely claims Chinese victory over Japan in WWII, omitting the US and Allied contributions. Holt views the parade as theater for a crumbling Belt and Road Initiative, not a united front. They note India's absence from the parade due to animosity with China. Despite appearances, Putin and Kim Jong-un also have underlying animosity towards Xi Jinping, making their alliance one of expediency, not unity.1015-1030 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 6.mp3 Guests: Gordon Chang and Peter Huessy, President of Geostrategic Analysis, a fellow at the National Institute for Deterrent Studies. China's Nuclear Ambitions and Arms Control Challenges Peter Huessy describes China's nuclear weapons as tools for coercion and hegemonic goals, a stark contrast to the US view of deterrence. He notes China's rapid nuclear buildup, exceeding Soviet Union rates during the Cold War. Huessy and Gordon Chang discuss the imminent expiration of the New Start treaty with Russia and the absence of arms control talks with China, which has historically aided proliferation. This signals a "brave new world" with zero legal restraint on nuclear weapons.1030-1045 : John Batchelor 09-03 segment 7.mp3 Guests: Gordon Chang and Captain James Fanell, United States Navy retired, intelligence officer for the Seventh Fleet and for the Indo-Pacific Theater.

Fanell highlights Scarborough Shoal as a critical "cork in the bottle," potentially used by China as a military base. He notes the Philippines' new forward operating base with anti-ship missiles in the Bashi Channel as a counter. Fanell suggests a reinvigorated US Navymorale and a shift in the Pentagon's approach to deter China.1045-1100 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 8.mp3 Guests: Gordon Chang and Rebecca Grant, Vice President of the Lexington Institute.

He clarifies that the Fedcontrols short-term rates, while the bond market sets long-term rates.

He emphasizes the need for fiscal sustainability. 1100-1115 : John Batchelor 09-03 segment 9.mp3 Guest: Brett Arends of Market Watch (Return on Investment).

Addressing Bond Market Turmoil Brett Arends explains that the troubled bond market stems from unsustainable national debt and recent court rulings questioning President Trump's tariffs. He advises Donald Trump to support Federal Reserve independence, abandon attacks on Jerome Powell and Lisa Cook, and work with Congress on tariffs to ensure fiscal sustainability and calm market anxieties. Arends notes that gold's all-time high reflects a lack of market confidence.1130-1145 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 11.mp3 Guest: Bob Zimmerman who keeps the website Behind the Black. New Discoveries in Space and Planetary Science Bob Zimmerman highlights new solar research using the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter probe, improving predictions of solar events that impact Earth's technology.

Furthermore, 44% of single Americans dating AI believe emotional support from an AI partner is superior to human support, highlighting a stark generational shift in romantic relationships.1230-1245 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 15.mp3 Guest: Janatyn Sayeh from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Iran's Nuclear Dilemma and Regional Threats Janatyn Sayeh discusses the looming snapback mechanism of the 2015 JCPOA, which could reinstate UN sanctions on Iran if it fails to comply with demands. Iran's non-compliance has its currency hitting new lows, yet Tehran threatens regional war and exiting the NPT if sanctions return. Sayeh notes Iran seeks rearmament, primarily from China, with Belarus and North Korea acting as potential intermediaries for Russian weapons.1245-100 AM John Batchelor 09-03 segment 16.mp3 Guest: Ivana Stradner from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.

À Port-au-Prince, des habitants ont décidé de regagner leur domicile. Le gang « Viv Ansanm » promet de faire taire les armes pour permettre le retour des citoyens. Et la population a répondu à l'appel. Des retours qui traduisent la détresse des habitants, fatigués des conditions de vie dans les camps de déplacés, et la volonté de recommencer à vivre normalement malgré les risques.  Dans les quartiers de Solino, Delma 30 et Nazon, d'anciens habitants découvrent les dégâts laissés par la violence, d'autres, la joie de rentrer chez eux après avoir été chassés. Des comités locaux se sont déjà activés pour nettoyer les quartiers. Si du côté des autorités, c'est le silence total, des organisations de défense des droits humains dénoncent cette démarche. C'est le reportage de Peterson Luxama, notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince. Au Guyana, une élection sous tension Alors que le pays élit, ce lundi, son président, le média guyanais Kaieteur News revient sur une attaque qu'il qualifie « d'effrontée » et qui a eu lieu dimanche. Des responsables de la commission électorale ont été visés par des tirs venant de la frontière entre le Guyana et le Venezuela. Ils étaient en train de transporter une urne dans la région de l'Essequibo, à l'ouest du pays. Le territoire est riche en ressources naturelles et convoité par Caracas depuis des décennies. Kaieteur News fait le lien entre cet événement et la multiplication des attaques de gangs vénézuéliens sur le territoire guyanais. Et CNN Latinoamérica s'interroge : « Pourquoi ces élections suscitent-elles autant d'attention que celles d'une nation plus grande et plus active en termes géopolitiques ? » La réponse est simple. Le pays devrait connaître la plus forte croissance de production pétrolière au monde durant les dix prochaines années. En 2015, une compagnie pétrolière avait découvert un gigantesque gisement de pétrole. Mais ce n'est pas la seule raison de l'intérêt porté à cette journée, selon CNN Latinoamérica. Cette élection est la première d'une série de scrutins qui devraient changer la face du continent sud-américain entre aujourd'hui et 2026 et bouleverser les collaborations de la région avec les États-Unis. À lire aussiGuyana : une élection présidentielle sur fond de manne pétrolière Une réunion en urgence entre les pays d'Amérique du Sud Les États-Unis ont dépêché des navires de guerre à proximité du Venezuela la semaine dernière. Un pas de plus dans la lutte contre le trafic international de drogue menée par Donald Trump. Ce lundi, la Celac se réunit à la demande de la Colombie, qui en assure la présidence tournante. Le média El Colombiano refait le point sur cette rencontre dépêchée d'urgence. Les membres doivent évoquer la situation et rappeler le rejet total de l'ingérence dans la région. El Colombiano revient aussi sur la guerre que mène Donald Trump à Nicolas Maduro, et rappelle qu'il y a quelques semaines, Washington a augmenté la récompense pour la capture du chef d'État vénézuélien. La Maison Blanche le soupçonne d'être en lien avec les cartels. La nouvelle récompense s'élève à 50 millions de dollars. Pour le média d'opposition vénézuélien TalCual, les tensions avec les États-Unis ont atteint un point de non-retour. Il dénonce un déploiement militaire disproportionné pour lutter contre le trafic dans les Caraïbes. TalCual déplore la situation dans le pays où désormais, à l'inefficacité du gouvernement, la pauvreté et la corruption s'ajoutent la menace d'une intervention étrangère.  Medellín, future « Silicon Valley d'Amérique latine » Medellín, la capitale économique de la Colombie, a lancé un grand plan de transformation pour devenir « la Silicon Valley d'Amérique latine ». Les autorités et les entreprises mettent leurs forces en commun pour faire de Medellín un centre de technologie et d'innovation, une sorte de Medellín 4.0. Depuis la fin de la pandémie, les premiers changements sont notables, comme les immeubles de coworking et l'arrivée de nouvelles entreprises internationales. Même si le chemin est encore long, Medellín ne compte pas baisser les bras. C'est le dossier Amériques du jour de Najet Benrabaa, notre correspondante à Medellin.  Les femmes noires, principales victimes des coupes budgétaires de Donald Trump  Le New York Times met en Une les femmes noires, les principales victimes des coupes budgétaires de Donald Trump dans le gouvernement fédéral. Le quotidien américain dresse le portrait de quatre femmes afro-américaines, dont Peggy Carr. Elle est la première personne noire et la première femme à occuper le poste de commissaire du Centre national des statistiques de l'éducation. Après 35 ans de carrière, en février dernier, un officier de sécurité est monté dans son bureau, il lui a donné 15 minutes pour faire ses affaires et l'a escorté en dehors du bâtiment, devant ses collègues sous le choc. Dans chaque portrait, l'histoire se répète : des fonctionnaires remerciés quand Donald Trump a commencé à démanteler les agences d'État, trop woke, trop libérales à ses yeux. Selon le New York Times, depuis des décennies, le gouvernement fédéral sert d'ascenseur social aux Afro-Américaines, discriminées sur le marché du travail. Résultat des courses, à l'échelle nationale, plus de 300 000 femmes noires ont perdu leur emploi dans les secteurs public et privé depuis février 2025. Les hommes blancs, eux, ont enregistré le plus grand nombre d'emplois supplémentaires sur la même période aux États-Unis. Journal de la 1ère En Guadeloupe, comme sans doute dans tout l'outre-mer, la perspective d'un changement de gouvernement suscite la perplexité, pour ne pas dire l'inquiétude. 

Miles de personas están llamadas a las urnas en Guyana en unos comicios catalogados como "históricos" para el país sudamericano, que experimenta un boom económico gracias a su incipiente industria petrolera.

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines (TSX.V: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joins me to unpack the key metrics and takeaways from the updated Resource Estimate of 6.5 million ounce of gold in all categories at the combined Wenot and Gilt Creek Projects at the Company's 100%-owned Omai Gold Project in Guyana, South America.   HIGHLIGHTS:   The Omai Property hosts two orogenic gold deposits: the shear-hosted Wenot Deposit and the adjacent intrusive-hosted Gilt Creek Deposit (Figure 1), with a combined updated MRE (over the February 2024 MRE) of: 2,121,000 ounces of gold (Indicated MRE), a 7% increase, averaging 2.07 g/t Au in 31.9Mt & 4,382,000 ounces of gold (Inferred MRE), a 92% increase, averaging 1.95 g/t Au in 69.6Mt   Wenot Deposit (a constrained pit and underground approach is applied)   970,000 oz of gold in 20.7Mt (Indicated), a 16% increase in ounces over the Feb 2024 MRE 3,717,000 oz of gold in 63.4Mt (Inferred), a 130% increase in ounces 1.46 g/t Au grade of Indicated MRE, a 1.4% decrease* 1.82 g/t Au grade of Inferred MRE, an 8.5% decrease* Increased gold price assumption to $2,500/oz from $1,850/oz allowed cutoff lower to 0.30 g/t Au from 0.35 g/t Au, resulting in lower average grades however increased ounces ~60% above 350m depth from surface  ~30% of Wenot MRE is west of the historical open pit, an area considered to be well suited to initial mining Expansion potential is evident along a minimum 2.5 km length of the host Wenot shear corridor, including within, adjacent to, below, and along strike   Gilt Creek Deposit (an underground mining approach is applied)   1,151,000 ounces of gold (Indicated) averaging 3.22 g/t Au, in 11.1Mt (Feb 2024 MRE) 665,000 ounces of gold (Inferred) averaging 3.35 g/t Au, in 6.2Mt (Feb 2024 MRE) Hosted within a 500m by 300m quartz diorite intrusive "Omai stock" that produced 2.4 million ounces of gold (1993 to 2005) from the upper 250m Located 500m north of the Wenot Deposit and below the past-producing Fennel open pit Characterized by very wide sub-horizontal zones of gold mineralization (Figure 5) Open to depth and holds demonstrated potential for lateral expansion     These updated resources will be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), building upon the prior PEA that was released in 2024, but that was only on 45% of the mineral inventory.  That prior study was only on the open pit Wenot Project, and did not yet incorporate the Gilt Creek underground project economics.  The new PEA slated for year-end or possibly early 2026 will factor in the combined economics of the open-pit at Wenot, and the underground at Gilt Creek.   Elaine highlights that the company is still going to be active in exploration with multiple drill rigs turning for the balance of this year and into next year. They will continue to explore the area at East Wenot, and a number of other nearby targets looking for shallow higher-grade mineralization that could potentially feed into the front-end of the mine development plan. Also, as part of their ongoing 15,000 meter drill program, we reviewed the progress on the very long hole that is currently being drilled through the underground deposit at Gilt Creek over to the area where the geological thesis is that there could also be deep resources well below the known mineralization at Wenot.  We discuss how this is the fun discovery part of exploration, with good scientific models behind it, and that if they do hit that far down at Wenot, it could be a real game changer adding on large potential underground opportunities below Wenot and even further mine life extension.     If you have any questions for Elaine regarding Omai Gold Mines, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to see the latest news from Omai Gold Mines.

Send us a textWhat happens when your childhood dreams collide with academic reality? Art Thomas, a client partner from Randstad Digital, knows this journey all too well. After receiving multiple D1 football offers but falling short on his SAT score by just 70 points, he was forced to completely reimagine his path to college athletics. That detour through the military academy became one of the most formative experiences of his life.Now a father of three, Art draws from his unique background as a first-generation American whose parents emigrated from Guyana with virtually nothing. Despite humble beginnings, Art never felt deprived growing up—a testament to his parents' determination to create opportunities through education and an unwavering work ethic. These same values now form the foundation of his parenting philosophy.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Art reveals how he encourages his children to dream audaciously while developing disciplined habits. When his youngest son declares he wants to play in the MLB after high school, Art doesn't dismiss it. "If you're not dreaming, then what are you doing? What are you chasing?" he asks. This perspective comes from his own journey of achieving what once seemed impossible—playing professional football and briefly joining his childhood team.Perhaps most powerful is Art's approach to daily self-investment. He teaches his children to set aside time each day for personal growth, regardless of distractions. "Make sure every day, two hours a day, you invest in yourself," he tells them, emphasizing that consistency and personal accountability create the foundation for future success.This episode beautifully illustrates how our most challenging experiences often become our greatest teachers, and how sharing both successes and failures with our children creates authentic connections and valuable life lessons. Whether you're a parent seeking guidance or simply someone navigating life's unexpected detours, Art's story will inspire you to persevere through challenges and keep dreaming big.Subscribe to the Quarterback Dadcast for more authentic conversations with dads who are working to become better leaders of their homes.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

What does it take to serve with humility, break barriers, and represent your country on the world stage all while living with a disability?In this episode, we meet Ovid Jackson: born on the banks of Berbice, Guyana, a top student invited to England in 1958, a national basketball player for Guyana, and later an immigrant to Canada who lost his right eye just months after arriving.Instead of stepping back, Ovid stepped up, becoming Owen Sound's first Black mayor, the first Liberal in a century to win Bruce–Grey, and representing Canada as an election monitor in South Africa during Nelson Mandela's 1994 victory and in Palestine. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Walkerton during its water crisis and chaired critical airport security talks after 9/11.Ovid shares the philosophy that guided him: “I see people as people. We waste too much energy being at odds with each other.” He reflects on a lifetime of leadership without ego. This is more than one man's story; it's a portrait of the Canada we've been, and the Canada we can be again.#OvidJackson #QuietWarrior #CanadianHistory #OrderOfCanada #BlackHistoryCanada #PublicService #LeadershipWithoutEgo #CanadaPolitics #OwenSound #BruceGrey #CommunityBuilder #SouthAfrica1994 #ElectionMonitor #WalkertonWaterCrisis #Post911Security #DiversityInLeadership #InspiringCanadians #CanadianPodcast #CanadianStories #LeadershipMatters

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.What drives someone to pick up a camera and document untold Caribbean history with no formal training? For Richard Vaughn, it was a simple realization: the political stories that shaped the modern Caribbean were either missing from film archives or told through a heavily biased lens. Vaughn takes us on his remarkable journey from curious Jamaican-American to award-winning documentary filmmaker. With us, he describes what would become "The Love Trilogy" – three powerful documentaries examining pivotal Caribbean political figures: Michael Manley of Jamaica, the Grenada Revolution, and Cheddi Jagan of Guyana. The trilogy's name emerged organically from Manley's own words about his political movement: "The word is love."The conversation weaves together reflections on Caribbean self-determination, the connection between political movements and cultural expressions like reggae music, and practical advice for aspiring documentarians. Vaughn's simple guidance resonates beyond filmmaking: identify what needs preserving in your community's history, start with whatever resources you have, and persist despite obstacles. Listen now to discover how documentary film serves as both historical preservation and a tool for balanced understanding of the Caribbean's complex political landscape. What stories in your community deserve similar documentation?Richard Vaughan born in New York to Jamaican immigrants in 1980. Driven by a passion for his culture and determination to educate and tell stores that history often forgets. Winner of the Madrid International Filmmaker Festival 2017 for Best Editing of a Documentary and the 2017 Van Gogh Award: Prodigy Auteur at the 2017 Amsterdam Film Festival for his second documentary Rolling Along: An Inline Movement.

Interview with Justin van der Toorn, President & CEO of Greenheart Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/greenheart-gold-tsxvghrt-target-rich-cash-backed-and-ready-to-drill-7095Recording date: 28th July 2025Greenheart Gold presents a compelling investment opportunity in one of the world's most underexplored yet highly prospective gold regions. The company has rapidly established itself as a systematic explorer across five projects in Suriname and Guyana, advancing three to drill-ready status within just one year of operations. This accelerated development timeline demonstrates both the quality of the geological targets and management's execution capabilities in challenging frontier environments.CEO Justin van der Toorn brings proven Guiana Shield expertise, having previously contributed to projects now employing 400-500 people in active construction phases. This direct regional experience provides invaluable operational knowledge and stakeholder relationships essential for success in these jurisdictions. Vanatorne's hands-on leadership approach, including extended field presence at exploration camps, ensures real-time decision-making and intimate understanding of geological developments across the portfolio.The company's financial position provides significant strategic advantages with approximately $41 million in treasury funding multi-year systematic exploration programs. This substantial cash position eliminates near-term dilution risks and enables patient capital deployment based on geological merit rather than financing constraints. Management has demonstrated disciplined capital allocation, committing to systematic work programs while maintaining flexibility to optimize the project portfolio through selective advancement or divestment.Greenheart Gold's projects are strategically positioned within proven gold districts of the Guiana Shield, including areas proximate to operating mines and historical workings. The company implements rigorous technical standards including comprehensive QAQC protocols, modern analytical techniques, and systematic geological modeling to maximize discovery probability. With diamond drilling commencing at Miura Dam and multiple projects advancing toward drilling phases, the company offers leveraged exposure to discovery potential in a region experiencing renewed exploration interest from major mining companies. The convergence of experienced management, strong financial backing, and systematic technical approach positions Greenheart Gold for value creation through methodical exploration advancement in this highly prospective geological province.—View Greenheart Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/greenheart-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

President Donald Trump wants to bring additional drug manufacturing to the United States and has threatened tariffs on imported medicine. The U.S. relies heavily on imports for low-cost generics, and building up domestic supply chain capacity could be tricky. We'll map out drug manufacturing and explore what it'd take to reshore drug supplies. But first: oil giants are eager to drill off the coast of Guyana, and the boss of an obscure regulatory agency is stepping down.

Oliver White is a world-renowned fly fishing guide, lodge owner, entrepreneur, and conservationist whose career bridges wild rivers and Wall Street. He began his guiding journey in college after a skiing injury, quickly developing a reputation as a skilled and passionate angler. This passion led him from the rivers of North Carolina to international waters in Argentina and the Bahamas. Along the way, a chance encounter with hedge fund manager Bill Ackman opened the door to a brief but formative stint in finance, sharpening White's business acumen and laying the groundwork for his future as a fishing industry entrepreneur. In 2008, White channeled that experience into building Abaco Lodge in the Bahamas, followed by partnerships in other elite destinations like South Fork Lodge in Idaho, which he co-owns with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. His lodges have become known not only for their world-class fishing but also for their immersive guest experiences and commitment to sustainability.
