He notes Dmitry Medvedev's aggressive rhetoric against Finland. McCausland also discusses Israel's strike against Hamas in Doha, impacting US-Qatar relations, and US military posturing near Venezuela to intimidate Nicolás Maduro.

He warns against "gunboat diplomacy" and a "war on cartels," stressing the dangers of escalation and historical lessons. 930-945 Mary O'Grady analyzes Argentine President Javier Milei's significant election loss in Buenos Aires, attributed to a corruption scandal involving his sister and the slowing economy. His brash style, while initially appealing and celebrated internationally, now alienates potential congressional allies and conservative voters. O'Grady suggests this approach is ill-suited for governing, hindering his economic reforms, as he struggles with high inflation and cuts to public subsidies, impacting public perception.945-1000 Chris Riegel, CEO of scholar.com, counters AI doomsayers like Geoff Hinton, emphasizing AI's transformational potential as a tool. He highlights the  mmense investment, hundreds of billions, in building gigawatt-plus data centers across the United States. This infrastructure drive is creating new industries and jobs, establishing the US as a global leader in AI, while also noting Asia's keen interest in US AI technology and Europe's lack of a cohesive strategy. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Jonathan Conricus observes Qatar's unprecedented move to engage beyond conventional tools, which Israel is closely monitoring. He suggests Israel's recent strike could signify a new deterrence doctrine, making Hamas leaders in Doha more vulnerable. This pressure might compel Hamas to accept Israel's terms for ending the conflict, which include releasing hostages and surrendering, thereby preventing further destruction and suffering in Gaza, despite the significant costs involved for Israel.1015-1030 CONTINUED Jonathan Conricus observes Qatar's unprecedented move to engage beyond conventional tools, which Israel is closely monitoring.

Despite warnings and previous Trump administration cuts, over $25 million in grants went to organizations with alleged ties to terrorism, antisemitism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas. This included partnering with groups like CAIR, which also provided firearms training to radical mosques, raising serious questions about oversight and vetting standards for federal funds.1045-1100 Jonathan Speyer reports on Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping and Israel, sustained by Iranian, Iraqi, Hezbollah, and even Chinese support. He describes the Houthis as fanatical, religiously and tribally motivated, aiming for "death to America, death to Israel, and curse the Jews." While cutting their supply chain and taking Hodeidah port is militarily feasible for a Western-backed force, a lack of political will currently prevents such aggressive action against their sophisticated smuggling operations. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Anatol Lieven explains that Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus is a Soviet loyalist, not a Putin stooge, but was driven to Russia by Western sanctions. He discusses Russian drone incursions into Poland, likely an intentional message to NATO to test air defenses and warn against deploying troops to Ukraine. Russia may also seek to maintain Belarus firmly in its orbit by disrupting its multi-vector foreign policy initiatives, particularly any attempts at détente with the West.1115-1130 CONTINUED Anatol Lieven explains that Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus is a Soviet loyalist, not a Putin stooge, but was driven to Russia by Western sanctions.

While a flat tax would streamline the system and boost economic growth by focusing on consumption, de Rugy emphasizes that no tax system alone can resolve the severe US debt crisis; crucial reforms to Social Security and Medicare are indispensable.1145-1200 Ronan Wordsworth addresses a persistent recruitment and retention crisis in Five Eyes militaries, spanning decades. Younger generations, particularly Gen Z, favor STEM careers offering flexibility and better pay over military discipline. Militaries are responding with increased advertising, flexible service models, lateral entry for skilled professionals, and significant pay raises and bonuses. Low morale, stemming from unpopular past wars and perceived institutional guilt, also significantly impacts retention rates.

Interview with Justin van der Toorn , CEO of Greenheart GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/greenheart-gold-tsxvghrt-advancing-multi-project-portfolio-7557Recording date: 10th September 2025Greenheart Gold is an emerging junior gold explorer with a robust management pedigree, led by CEO Justin van der Toorn whose success at Reunion Gold lends credibility to the company's strategic approach. The company operates five greenfield gold projects in the highly prospective Guyana Shield region—two in Guyana and three in Suriname—deliberately focusing on unexplored targets. Rigorous evaluation and financial discipline underpin their model, with each project subjected to a systematic 9-12 month process to reach a drill decision, and non-viable assets quickly dropped.Currently, Greenheart has active drilling at the Tamakay project in Guyana and the Majorodam project in Suriname. Early drilling at Majorodam delivered intersections including 30 meters at 2 grams per tonne gold, supported by strong infrastructure benefits such as proximity to paved roads and established mills, which help lower operating costs and development thresholds. At Tamakay, the program targets high-grade quartz veins previously mined by local artisanal miners, further highlighting the region's potential.Justin van der Toorn emphasizes the importance of an honest, data-driven approach, stating, “At the end of the day, it's exploration. You have to play a little bit of a numbers game here and make sure that you've got more than one egg in a basket,” reflecting the company's commitment to portfolio diversification and rigorous technical standards.Well-capitalized and backed by a supportive institutional shareholder base, Greenheart Gold is positioned to advance its pipeline without the immediate need for further fundraising. With a disciplined capital allocation strategy and a clear focus on advancing only the most promising opportunities, Greenheart is set to deliver value through near-term drilling results and multiple discovery pathways within a world-class geological province. These factors, combined with favorable macroeconomic conditions for gold and the underexplored nature of the Guyana Shield, create a compelling case for investors.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/greenheart-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Ghost dives deep into Trump's latest moves against cartels in Venezuela, breaking down the U.S. military strike on a drug boat, executive orders labeling cartels as terrorist organizations, and the constitutional debate over presidential authority. He highlights Venezuela's response, with Maduro deploying 25,000 troops to prove Caracas can tackle cartels on its own terms, signaling its place in the Sovereign Alliance. Using maps and detailed analysis, Ghost tracks trafficking routes, cartel influence, and the geopolitical stakes along Venezuela's borders with Colombia and Guyana. The episode then pivots to Nepal's deadly Gen Z protests over social media bans, probing whether they're organic or CIA-backed regime change ops. Wrapping up, Ghost unpacks Israel's unilateral strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, Trump's sharp rebuke to Netanyahu, and the fallout for ceasefire talks and the Abraham Accords. With humor, maps, and sharp narrative analysis, this episode ties together cartel warfare, sovereign movements, and Middle East volatility.

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. Pacific Tensions: Philippines, China, and US Naval Strategy Captain James Fanell and Gordon Chang analyze China's strategic ambition to subjugate the Philippines, building militarized islands in the South China Sea. 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.

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.

*** VIDEO EN NUESTRO CANAL DE YOUTUBE **** https://youtube.com/live/elCnbBTjp1o +++++ Hazte con nuestras camisetas en https://www.bhmshop.app +++++ Venezuela ha vuelto a encender la mecha del conflicto con Guyana por el Esequibo, un territorio rico en petróleo y bajo la protección de Washington. Mientras Maduro agita la bandera nacionalista, Estados Unidos mueve sus piezas en el Caribe: destructores, marines y el SOUTHCOM preparado para intervenir. Pero detrás de la disputa territorial hay un enemigo mucho más oscuro: el Cartel de los Soles, la red de narcotráfico incrustada en las Fuerzas Armadas venezolanas y señalada por la DEA como un narco-Estado. En este programa analizamos: - La historia y el valor estratégico del Esequibo. - Los intereses petroleros y el apoyo de EE.UU. a Guyana. - El despliegue militar estadounidense en el Caribe. - El papel del Cartel de los Soles como sostén del régimen de Maduro. - Los posibles escenarios: ¿disuasión, operación limitada o guerra regional? Un conflicto que mezcla petróleo, narcotráfico y geopolítica… y que podría abrir un nuevo frente en América Latina.

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!
