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/——————-

Ik vraag me nog steeds af hoe het komt dat ik geen moordenaar ben geworden. Ik heb er vaak genoeg van gedroomd om een van de vuile Corsicanen te wurgen die mij het leven zo zuur maakten. Mocht ik tot in de details vertellen wat deze honden zoal bedachten om mij te kwellen, op te hitsen, mijn bloed te doen koken van woede… ik zou nog een extra boekdeel nodig hebben. Ze wilden maar één ding en dat was: mij zien rebelleren. Het kleinste verdachte gebaar van mijn kant en het was voorbij. En het waren vooral de Corsicanen, zij waren het ergste...Script, stem en opname: Patrick Bernauw.

In sommige sectoren lijken ondernemers te denken dat er andere regels en wetten zijn dan in de rest van Nederland. Dat gold in ieder geval begin jaren tien voor de garnalenhandel. Illegale prijsafspraken waren aan de orde van de dag. Spil in het web van dit garnalenkartel was de ondernemer achter garnalenhandelaar Heiploeg, die zichzelf de godfather van de garnalen noemde. Heiploeg was in die tijd wereldwijd actief met vestigingen in Guyana, Suriname, India, Marokko, Groningen én Volendam. Het bedrijf handelde in Hollandse garnalen, maar ook in allerlei soorten tropische garnalen. Voor het pellen verscheepte Heiploeg de Hollandse garnalen naar Marokko, waar dit precisiewerkje werd uitgevoerd door de lokale bevolking. Toen de illegale prijsafspraken door een concurrent werden opgebiecht bij de Europese Commissie ging het mis voor Heiploeg. Uiteindelijk kwam er eind 2013 een boete op de mat van 27 miljoen euro. Dit in combinatie met de dunne marges in de garnalenhandel leidde tot grote financiële problemen. Te gast is Pieter Lettinga, partner en curator bij Dorhout Advocaten. Hij begon op 15 januari 2014 als een van de stille bewindvoerders van Heiploeg en werkte aan een zogeheten pre-pack, waarbij er na het faillissement op 28 januari direct een doorstart volgde. Maar het fenomeen pre-pack kwam onder vuur te liggen van de vakbonden en zo werd het faillissement van Heiploeg een bekende zaak onder curatoren. Onder curatoren Niet elk ondernemersavontuur eindigt met een notering in de Quote 500, niet elk bedrijf overleeft een flinke crisis, niet elke onderneming weet het financiële spel goed te spelen. En als alles misgaat, als de chaos regeert en schuldeisers aan de poort rammelen, dan breekt het tijdperk van de curator aan. In deze serie praten financieel journalisten Elisa Hermanides en Thomas van Zijl over onvergetelijke faillissementen met curatoren, de puinruimers van het bedrijfsleven.

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. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio.

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? Genstart i dag med klimaforsker Jakob Dreyer. Vært: Simon Stefanski. Program publiceret i DR Lyd d. 10. november 2025.

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.

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?

Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines (TSX.V: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), joined me live at the New Orleans Investment Conference last week on November 4th, for 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 are still turning with 64 drill holes that have been completed to date this year on the Omai property; totaling 30,297 meters of the targeted 40,000 meters from the current exploration program.  All these coming drill assays will then factor into updated  project Resource Estimate that will be incorporated into the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in Q1 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.   Elaine also highlighted some recent regional drilling completed at two near-surface exploration targets that were identified from trenching, geophysics and historical data. Assays are reported for 11 drill holes totalling 2,615m with 6 holes on the BBH target and 5 holes from the Camp Zone.   Highlights from the recent exploration holes include:   BBH Target Hole 25ODD-131 - intercepted 20.33 g/t Au over 5.30m, including 35.61 g/t Au over 3m   Camp Zone Target Hole 25ODD-135 – intercepted 2.72 g/t Au over 16.30m, including 9.05 g/t Au over 4m Hole 25ODD-136 – intercepted 2.05 g/t Au over 7.50m, including 11.32 g/t Au over 1m Hole 25ODD-138 – intercepted 0.85 g/t Au over 12.70m, including 1.32 g/t Au over 6m   Next we reviewed the status on 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, where the geological thesis is that there could also be deep sheer resources well below the known mineralization.  We discuss how this hole did finally encounter ~260 meters of sheer mineralization at depth, proving the thesis, but that the hole was still being processed at the assay lab.    Wrapping up we discussed the 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.

‘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. Und weil das Land demokratisch regiert wird und eine positive Klimabilanz hat, ist es auf dem Papier geradezu ein Traum-Handelspartner für die EU.

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.

Der Countdown läuft am europäischen Weltraumbahnhof Kourou in Französisch- Guyana – also in Südamerika. Zum dritten Mal in diesem Jahr wird die Ariane 6 abheben. Eine Rakete, die ihre Fracht, ihre Nutzlast, billiger und flexibler ins All bringen soll als ihre Vorgängerin Ariane 5. Im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Stefan Eich erklärt Toni Tolker-Nielsen, ESA-Direktor für Raketensysteme, wie die Ariane 6 entwickelt wurde. Und warum sie ihre Fracht, ihre Nutzlast, billiger und flexibler ins All bringen soll als ihre Vorgängerin Ariane 5. Ein Gespräch über Kooperation und Konkurrenz in der Raumfahrt – und warum die Europäer nicht unbedingt neidisch auf die USA sein müssen, nur weil deren Falcon 9 Raketen schon einen Entwicklungsschritt weiter sind.

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.

In this engaging episode of The Yard Sign, Florida's original political podcast hosted by Johnny Torres, guest Marco Rivera—a Puerto Rican political commentator—joins for a lively discussion blending Latin American geopolitics, U.S. foreign policy, and Tampa Bay sports fervor. Kicking off with intros and reflections on multiparty politics in Latin America versus the U.S. two-party system, the duo highlights Puerto Rico's cultural fusion as a "blend of U.S. and Central America," touching on statehood frustrations and everyday governance judged by garbage pickup, road paving, and festive parties. They pivot to Trump's bold authorization of CIA operations against Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, crediting Marco Rubio's State Department role for refocusing on the Western Hemisphere after decades of neglect. Drawing from personal anecdotes, they lament Venezuela's fall from an oil-rich "franchise of America" under Chávez to a "Hispanic Gaza Strip," rife with corruption, Chinese infiltration, and resource grabs in neighbors like Guyana and Colombia. The conversation explores ulterior motives—untapped oil reserves potentially slashing U.S. gas prices below $2/gallon—while praising strong opposition ready to restore democracy, contrasting it with Cuba's entrenched complacency and the end of the wet foot/dry foot policy under Obama. Energy tangents critique renewables' inefficiencies per thermodynamics, favoring "all of the above" approaches amid nuclear deals in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Shifting to scandal, they dissect Telegram leaks exposing crude chats among young Republicans, predicting long-term fallout on party recruitment and optics. The episode culminates in Tampa Bay Buccaneers hype, crowning Baker Mayfield MVP for his second-year turnaround from "retire" calls to leading the NFL's best record, crediting coach Todd Bowles' tactical grit. Casual fans unpack football's chess-like strategy versus soccer's one-on-ones, debating the run game's counterintuitiveness. Sports talk extends to baseball woes: why the Rays flop in football-crazed Tampa (a "tech town" with Lightning loyalty trumping bandwagon vibes), cultural disconnects in Hispanic communities, and Miami's distraction-fueled apathy. They muse on Orlando's untapped baseball potential and St. Pete's logistical stadium pitfalls, ending on Tampa's rising identity beyond Busch Gardens, fueled by Grammy-winning locals like Doechii. **Topic Chapters:** 00:00:00 - Intro & Puerto Rican Politics 00:05:55 - Trump vs. Venezuela: CIA Ops & Maduro Pressure 00:15:41 - Venezuela's Collapse & Latin American Corruption 00:20:34 - Ulterior Motives: Oil, China, & Resources 00:23:24 - Energy Debates: Nuclear, Solar, & Thermodynamics 00:25:17 - Telegram Leaks: Young GOP Scandal Fallout 01:06:56 - Tampa Bay Bucs: Baker Mayfield MVP Hype 01:18:20 - Football Strategy vs. Baseball Tactics 01:22:34 - Rays Stadium Woes & Tampa Sports Culture 01:35:12 - Lightning Loyalty & Tampa's True Identity **YouTube Tags:** The Yard Sign podcast, Florida politics, Trump Venezuela, CIA operations Maduro, Latin America geopolitics, Puerto Rico statehood, Baker Mayfield Bucs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, NFL MVP 2025, Telegram leaks Republicans, young GOP scandal, oil reserves Guyana, China Latin America, wet foot dry foot policy, Tampa sports culture, Rays stadium debate, Lightning hockey, Marco Rubio State Department, Johnny Torres podcast Join The Yard Sign as we discuss the latest in US politics, including insights on Marco Rubio and the current political news in Florida.

In this episode,  Erica Moiah James talks with Roshini Kempadoo, media artist, photographer, and scholar, whose book Creole in the Archive: Imagery, Presence, and the Location of the Caribbean Figure, has been critical to Erica's work in theorizing the Caribbean archive. Roshini discusses working in the archives at the University of the West Indies, and the particularity of archives in Trinidad and Guyana. They also discuss a common theoretical model in African diaspora scholarship, critical fabulation, which originally indicated the ethical demand for scholars working within archives marked by colonial violence and absence to use tools of fiction and imagination to return embodied existence to individuals, reduced to numbers. Yet this tool of critical fabulation has taken on a life of its own. Erica and Roshini discuss the complications of working in colonial archives and think about the possibilities of limits of presence and absence within these archives. 

Interview with Louis-Pierre Gignac, President and CEO of G Mining Ventures Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/g-mining-ventures-tsxgmin-champion-iron-tsxcia-playbook-for-success-7198Recording date: 7th October 2025G Mining Ventures Corp. presents investors with one of the most compelling growth profiles in the mid-tier gold sector, combining immediate cash flow generation with a clear pathway to nearly triple production by 2028—all without shareholder dilution. The company is executing a disciplined strategy that leverages operational cash flows and non-dilutive debt financing to fund aggressive expansion during a period of historically elevated gold prices.The foundation of G Mining's investment case rests on its Tocantinzinho mine in Brazil, which generates substantial cash flow with all-in sustaining costs of $1,170 per ounce. At current gold prices above $2,600 per ounce, this creates operating margins translating to more than $250 million in annual operating cash flow before royalties and corporate costs. The mine's structural advantages—including access to cheap hydroelectric power, low strip ratios, and modern infrastructure—provide cost competitiveness and protection against inflation that many peers lack. This cash generation is funding G Mining's transformation into a multi-asset producer. The company recently announced a $350 million corporate credit facility with a $150 million accordion feature that, combined with Tocantinzinho's cash flows, fully finances development of the Oko West project in Guyana without equity raises. The 350,000 ounce per year project will bring total company production to 500,000 ounces by 2028—representing 186% growth from current levels.Oko West's development is progressing ahead of schedule, with 35% engineering completion and nearly $100 million invested by August 2025. All major equipment procurement has been completed, de-risking delivery timelines that have challenged many mining projects. The company received its full permit in September 2025 and targets first gold production in October 2027, with 700 workers currently on site ramping to 1,500+ by Q1 2026.Despite this progress, G Mining trades at a P/NAV of 0.86x—below its peer group—creating what management views as significant re-rating potential. At $3,400 gold prices, Gignac noted that Oko West alone carries a $4 billion net asset value, compared to the company's current total market capitalization of $5-6 billion. "We do expect to have that rerate process taking place in our valuation as we continue developing and advancing the project," he explained. "We go and get that valuation just by successfully executing on the project."Beyond the near-term growth to 500,000 ounces, G Mining's Gurupi project in Brazil offers additional upside. With an existing 2.6 million ounce resource that management believes can expand to 4-5 million ounces, Gurupi could support a third 200,000+ ounce per year operation. The first drilling since 2019 begins in November 2025 following the recent lifting of a historical injunction, providing near-term exploration catalysts independent of Oko West's construction timeline.For investors seeking exposure to gold with exceptional operational leverage, proven management execution, and multiple near-term catalysts, G Mining warrants serious consideration. The combination of non-dilutive growth financing, below-peer valuation, and a clear pathway to production expansion creates a compelling risk-reward profile in the current precious metals environment.View G Mining Venture's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/g-mining-venturesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

After nearly 400 conversations with Olympians, Paralympians, and trailblazing women athletes from 55 countries, one thing is clear: no two stories are alike. Some athletes train with world-class facilities, others without basic equipment. Some are household names, others are fighting for visibility in sports you've never even seen on TV. And yet, across all these differences, certain themes echo again and again.That's what this new Best Of series is all about—spotlighting both the range of experiences and the threads that connect them. We've pulled together the most powerful moments across years of conversations, including:✨ Best Advice to Younger Selves — from “give yourself grace to be a beginner” to “don't dim your light for anyone.” ✨ Best Stories of Resilience — tales of athletes coming back from devastating injuries, near-misses, and moments when the world doubted them most. ✨ Best Moments of Role Modelship — athletes lifting the next generation, mentoring teammates, and carrying entire communities with them to the world stage. ✨ Best Stories of Identity & Joy — how athletes embrace who they are on and off the field, from glitter on the track to pride in their heritage. and many more!You'll hear voices as different as the sports they represent, yet together, they reveal what it really takes to rise to the top. This isn't just one story. It's hundreds woven together. And this is just the beginning.In this episode, Resilience and Perserverence, athletes open up about what it costs to keep going and how they rebuild when everything says stop. Canadian bobsleigh pilot Cynthia Appiah shares how the sport helped her find her voice and the confidence to stand up for herself. U.S. wheelchair tennis star Dana Mathewson describes a childhood diagnosis, initial resistance to adaptive sport, and the moment tennis finally clicked. Olympic trampolinist Bryony Page talks about fear, losing confidence, and the practical tools that brought her back to big skills. Chelsea Edghill, table tennis Olympian from Guyana, pushes back on the “it looks easy” myth and explains how mindfulness keeps her centered. Jamaican middle-distance runner Natoya Goule-Toppin recounts a car accident, a lingering nerve issue, and racing her way back to 1:55 form. Malian-French boxer Marine Fatoumata revisits burnout and abuse, then finding a coach and team that respected her and saved her career. And French figure skater Maé-Bérénice Méité remembers an Achilles rupture that ended an Olympic qualifier and how she rediscovered joy by making skating a game again. Together, these stories show resilience as a practice: setting boundaries, seeking support, and choosing to try again.Flame Bearers is a women's sports storytelling studio, illuminating the unsung stories of exceptional women athletes from around the world.

Newly re-elected President Irfaan Ali will have to move fast on promises to convert his country's sizable oil income into tangible benefits for Guyana's poor, beyond huge prestige infrastructure projects. If President Ali is unable to capitalize and create a coherent development plan and enable a reorientation of Guyana's economy, there will be cause for concern, not least from Azruddin Mohamed, leader of the new WIN (the recently formed, We Invest in Nationhood party) who pulled in 25 per cent of the vote in the general election. Guyana's offshore oil fields, discovered by ExxonMobil in 2015, have transformed the country into a burgeoning energy powerhouse. The country, which is estimated to have the world's highest crude oil reserves per capita, has been one of the fastest growing economies globally since oil production began in 2019 and yet the wealth disparity is starkly evident. This week on The LatinNews Podcast, we welcome back Anand Persaud, Editor-in-chief of Stabroek News, to discuss the challenges facing President Ali and Guyana including, the Dutch Disease, massive infrastructure expenditure, the on-going dispute with Venezuela over the Essequibo, the US military build-up in the southern Caribbean and climate change. Follow LatinNews for analysis on economic, political, and security developments in Latin America & the Caribbean.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.What if everything we thought we knew about Caribbean literary history was incomplete? That's the premise of today's captivating conversation with Professor Alison Donnell, whose groundbreaking new book, Lost and Found: An A to Z of Neglected Writers of the Anglophone Caribbean (Papillote Press 2025), challenges the traditional narrative that Caribbean literature primarily emerged in the 1950s through male writers who migrated abroad. Through painstaking research spanning decades, Donnell reveals a far richer literary landscape populated by remarkable women writers, Indo-Caribbean voices, and authors who remained within the Caribbean, crafting work specifically for local audiences.The stories behind these recoveries are as fascinating as the writers themselves. We meet Vera Bell, the first female chief clerk of Jamaica's National Water Commission and prolific poet; Monica Skeet, who balanced a conservative teaching career with radical storytelling; and Edwina Melville, the first woman with a tractor license in Guyana who dedicated herself to representing Amerindian life. These weren't just writers – they were teachers, journalists, civil servants, and community leaders whose literary work formed part of a broader mission to build Caribbean cultural literacy.Whether you're a Caribbean literature enthusiast or simply love stories of historical recovery and justice, this episode will transform how you understand the relationship between literature, identity, and cultural memory. Listen now to discover the writers who helped shape Caribbean consciousness long before we knew their names.Alison Donnell is head of Humanities and Professor of Modern Literatures in English at the University of Bristol. She has published widely in the field of Caribbean literature, with significant contributions to the fields of literary history and culture, recovery research of women authors, and Caribbean literary archives.

//The Wire//2300Z September 26, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MISSING PERSON CASE IN FLORIDA HIGHLIGHTS MEDIA MANIPULATION CONCERNS DURING ACTIVE AMBER ALERTS. COUNTER ICE RIOTS INTENSIFY IN CHICAGO. CRACKDOWN ON SPEECH CONTINUES IN UNITED KINGDOM.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: The censorship and speech targeting concerns continue to deteriorate as another wave of arrests has emerged among right-wing political commentators. Steve Laws and Pete North have been arrested over the past few days, as PM Starmer continues to state that the U.K. has freedom of speech. Nonetheless, the arrests continue, not just among more visible influencers, but among laypeople as well. Analyst Comment: Hundreds of arrests have been reported all around the U.K. for social media posts, with most of these arrests only coming to light from family members who notice the arrests. This is due to gag orders being placed on the detainees, so that they can't even talk about why they were arrested, or else they will get slapped with higher charges. This is to ensure that the speech crime arrests go largely unnoticed, since public outcry would result if high profile arrests are made. Since the courts are now routinely placing gag orders on people who are being arrested on speech-crime charges, the sheer scale of how many arrests are being made is impossible to know.-HomeFront-Illinois: The situation in Chicago continues to deteriorate as more counter-ICE riots escalate. Various blockade-type actions remain the main vector for rioters to hinder ICE actions, such as at the detention facility in Broadview.Iowa: This afternoon a high-profile ICE raid was carried out, targeting Dr. Ian Andre Roberts. Roberts was the superintendent of the Des Moines Public School System, but he was also a fugitive and illegal immigrant from Guyana who had an active deportation order since May of 2024. After his case was reopened, ICE agents made contact with him today, after which he fled on foot before a K9 unit apprehended him. He was arrested in possession of a firearm, a large knife, and several thousand dollars.Florida: Yesterday evening a high-profile Amber Alert was issued for a hostile abduction of a 17-year-old in Marion County. Caden Speight has been found, but was initially reported missing after what was initially described as a very kinetic kidnapping. The victim's family received a text message that indicated he had been shot and kidnapped by 4x Hispanic males in a light colored van. Local authorities located his abandoned vehicle on Hwy 484 (which had at least one bullet hole in it, according to the initial story), and Speight's phone was also recovered at the scene broken in half.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Something is not quite right with this case, and despite the obvious media hooks to sensationalize this story, nobody really knew what was going on as the details of the search continued to change throughout the day.This morning, investigators stated that the initial details of the incident were determined to be false, and that the current evidence available does not support the abduction story. Investigators stated that he appears to have departed from the initial incident site on a bicycle, possibly with a red and grey tent that was purchased using his credit/debit card at a Walmart in Ocala shortly before the incident. At the time it appeared as though this may have been a runaway situation portrayed as a violent kidnapping.However, as the situation continued to develop, notices from officials changed from an Amber Alert to caution, urging citizens to not make contact with Speight if he was discovered. Shortly after this change in tone, Speight was reported to be found, with a gunshot wound to his leg. However some reports suggest the opposite, and that he was found without any wounds (as in

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE  9-11-25 GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Brussels at the Article Four meeting called by Poland. 1942 FIRST HOUR 9-915 McCausland: Jeff McCausland analyzes Russia's drone probes into Poland, viewing them as Vladimir Putin's attempt to intimidate NATO and gather military intelligence. 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. 915-930 CONTINUED McCausland: Jeff McCausland analyzes Russia's drone probes into Poland, viewing them as Vladimir Putin's attempt to intimidate NATO and gather military intelligence.

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. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Professor Evan Ellis details Peru's complex political landscape under unpopular President Dina Boluarte, its strategic importance due to mineral resources, and substantial economic ties with China, including the Chancay deepwater port. He also addresses the escalating Venezuelan situation, with a US Marine Air-Ground Task Force deployment and bounties on Nicolás Maduro, suggesting potential military action.
