Es ist nicht alles legal, was glänzt: Das gilt für die Goldbranche. Was, wenn das Gold, das in unseren Smartphones oder Kettenanhängern steckt, illegal abgebaut wurde? Und Menschen und Umwelt in große Gefahr bringt? In dieser 11KM-Folge nimmt uns der in Südamerika lebende Journalist Fabian Federl mit in den Dschungel. In Französisch-Guyana und Suriname konnte er beobachten, wie das Geschäft mit illegalem Gold funktioniert – und welche Tricks angewandt werden, um schon früh in der Lieferkette die genaue Herkunft zu verschleiern.

Lecture 6 Part 2LECTURE OUTLINE: Reimagining the Caribbean — History, Identity & Invention1. Defining Key Terms & Unsettling MythsWhat is the Caribbean?What it is not:Not simply “a group of islands surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.”That colonial compass would erase Belize, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.The Caribbean is not just geography — it's history, identity, and ideology.A Construct, An Invention:Ian Meeks and Norman Girvan argue the Caribbean is an invention, molded by the European gaze since 1492.The so-called “discovery” was really colonial construction — cultural erasure dressed as exploration.The Socio-Political Caribbean:Social scientists ask: In whose interest is society designed?Whose narrative dominates?Often, the Caribbean's story has been told through the lens of its colonizers — not its people.Economic Caribbean – A Dependent Capitalist Model:According to Neoliberalism (2021) and the "Washington Consensus", Caribbean economies were shaped to serve external interests.Ramesh Ramsaran: Structural Adjustment transferred power from local to global hands — a feature of life in the Global South.These are the legacies of debt, austerity, and manufactured dependency.Global South vs Global North:New language, same old hierarchies.The “Global South” replaces “Third World” — a more palatable term, but still denotes marginalization.2. A People in Paradox: Race, Identity & AgencyThe Problem of the Caribbean is the Problem of the Black and Brown PositionWherever Black or Brown bodies are found — so too is systemic exclusion.Not due to essence, but to constructed inferiority.Colonization as Psychological Violence:Fanon: Colonization turns man against himself.Du Bois: The Black soul peers through a veil, always asking: “Am I enough?”Morrison: We are told to strive toward whiteness — only to find we can never truly arrive.Depersonalization & Loss of Agency:Colonialism stripped humanity. The enslaved weren't just shackled in body — but in being.This leads to malady: acting against our own interests.Afrocentricity vs Eurocentricity:Afrocentricity: a way of seeing.Eurocentricity: the only way of seeing.The former offers liberation. The latter demands assimilation.Diaspora Realities:Caribbean immigrants are often seen as threats cloaked in exoticism — "two sharp teeth," as you wrote.Their potential is feared, their labor exploited.Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettoes”:Ghettoes aren't just places — they are conditions.Whether in Philly or Kingston, Harlem or Port of Spain, these spaces reflect economic colonization.Externally: Poor housing, crime, disease.Internally: Apathy, self-loathing, compensatory bravado.3. Postcolonialism – Not the End, But the EchoPostcolonial ≠ Post-ColonizationFanon in Black Skin, White Masks: Black and White locked in a tragic performance — each role scripted by Empire.In Wretched of the Earth: Freedom is radical; it requires rupture, not reform.The Paradox of Independence:Haiti and Cuba led revolutions — and were punished for their audacity.Independence does not equal inclusion.4. Center vs Periphery — Who Gets to Speak?Homi Bhabha's Lens:The center is the mainstream — the dominant culture, the "norm."The periphery is where African spirituality, literature, and lifeways have been cast.In the Caribbean, this leads to self-scorn: bleaching skin, abandoning roots, ridiculing Revivalists or Rastafari.5. Supplementary Content for Today's SessionReading & Discussion: CLR James – The Black JacobinsCLR James (a Trini) told the story of Haitian revolutionaries, but through a European framework.His education gave him tools, but not always the right lens.We question: Was this truly “history from below?”By Rev.

Doc Jones, private activist resource investor and influencer on Ceo.ca and X/Twitter, joins us for his outlook on the precious metals, critical minerals, and energy sector and the related resource stocks he is heavily positioned in his portfolio, that have had significant newsflow in the recent past towards development of their projects. We start off getting the key macroeconomic factors that have him bullish on both gold and silver, and why he believes their pricing moves to the upside over this year can be maintained and continue to reach higher levels. We review the newsflow and recent milestones from Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG) (OTCQB: OMGGF), and the anticipated value drivers for 2025 in this gold exploration and development company operating in Guyana. He focuses in on drilling at both Wenot and Gilt Creek, and the updated resource estimate and combined economic study as coming catalysts. With regards to silver and gold exposure, he has gotten positioned in Excellon Resources Inc. (TSXV: EXN) (OTC: EXNRF) due to their recent acquisition of the past producing Mallay Silver Mine in Peru, to move it back into production. The Company is also advancing a portfolio of gold, silver and base metals assets including the Kilgore Project, an advanced gold exploration project in Idaho that has compelling economics at today's PM prices. Shifting over to critical minerals, Doc Jones highlights his long-standing interest and key portfolio position in Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF), which has now moved into copper production, with solid nickel and PGM co-credits at their McCreedy West Mine in Sudbury, Ontario. Another key portfolio position in the critical minerals with copper, zinc, gold, and silver is Emerita Resources (TSX.V: EMO) (OTCQB: EMOTF). The company has had continued encouraging polymetallic metallurgical results and successful exploration expanding in mineralization in multiple areas at their flagship IBW Project. He also outlined that the pending legal proceedings on the Aznalcollar zinc-lead-silver Project as another potential value driver. Wrapping up we shifted over to traditional energy getting his outlook on both oil and natural gas, but why he is favoring investing in Canadian nat gas companies like Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. (TSX: PEY) and Birchcliff Energy Ltd. (TSX: BIR) due to the uptick in underlying natural gas prices he is anticipating in the year to come. He goes on to highlight the benefits of picking up energy stocks that pay investors good dividends while they are waiting for higher eventual equity prices. *In full disclosure, Doc Jones holds a position in these companies discussed at the time of this recording, but is not compensated by any company to market them. These are simply his views and opinions as to why he likes investing in them, but this is not investment advice. Click here to follow Doc Jones on Ceo.ca Click here to follow Doc Jones on X/Twitter

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch where they bemoan the lack of 'serious people' in prominent positions. Those people include Terri Moran whose savage X post cost him his job at ABC, DNI director Tulsi Gabbard, who seems tired of being in the background, and Tennessee Rep. Mark Green who has the audacity to resign his position for an alleged business venture in Guyana. First, they laugh over Terry Moran's vitriolic X post, claiming Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and President Trump to be 'world class haters' and find nourishment by "eating their hate." Quite possibly the result of an evening of booze, this post could have been explained away with a simple apology, but Moran refuses to recant. Jim wonders if ABC is grateful for a reason to oust a boring reporter that costs them half a million dollars a year. Next, they dissect Tulsi Gabbard's dramatic YouTube warning about nuclear war. Gabbard insists we're closer than ever to nuclear annihilation, apparently forgetting the Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis. Jim is skeptical, especially considering the recent war in Ukraine and Russia where nuclear weapons have not yet been used. He also says that Gabbard has a direct link to speak with the president about such concerns, so speaking out publicly suggests she is bored of working behind the scenes. Last, they are aghast at the resignation of Tennessee Rep. Mark Green for the sake of a private sector opportunity. Greg is enraged by any public official who would leave office for any reason other than health and family reasons or scandal. Green leaving for an elusive business venture in Guyana of all places has both Jim and Greg immensely irritated. Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

#NEWWORLDREPORT: SURINAME AND GUYANA AND ORGANIZED CRIME, JOSEPH HUMIRE @JMHUMIRE @SECUREFREESOC. ERNESTO ARAUJO, FORMER FOREIGN MINISTER REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL. #NEWWORLDREPORTHUMIRE 1862 SURINAM
Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins us to review the Q1 financial and operations results from the San Albino Mine in Nicaragua, along with some ongoing residual leaching during the period from the recently acquired Moss Mine in Arizona. We also unpack the anticipated mining to begin at the Moss Mine later this month in June, and what to anticipate for the several months of ramp up of increased production. Additionally, we delve into the next key steps for derisking and development work at the Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana to be in production there about 2 years out. This is a longer-format interview where we get into many nuances of operations in all 3 jurisdictions. The Company's financial results for Q1 2025 reflect record gold sales from its San Albino and Moss Mine of $31.8 million (vs. $19.2 million in Q1 2024), which generated $19.9 million in Mine Operating Cash Flow, $16.1 million in Adjusted EBITDA, and $9.4 million in Net Income. The Company sold 10,817 oz of gold at an average price of $2,915/oz with a $1,239 Cash Cost and $1,411 All-In Sustaining Cost ("AISC") ($/oz sold). Subsequent to March 31, 2025 Mako delivered the final installment of 13,500 oz of silver on the Sailfish Silver Loan. Q2 2025 (through May 31st) - Mako Mining Financial Highlights $25.1 million in Revenue from 7,409 oz of gold at $3,327/oz and 13,529 oz of silver at $33.03/oz $22.0 million in Cash and Receivables and $3.3 million in Restricted Cash (50% will become unrestricted in June 2025) There is also a substantial exploration program underway all around the San Albino Project in Nicaragua, around the San Albino Mine, as the Las Conchitas concessions, and of particular interest at the El Golfo concessions. Drill hole EJ25-RC53 at El Golfo intersected a wide, high-grade interval of 39.15 g/t Au and 27.8 g/t Ag over 8.0 m (5.9 m ETW), 19.2 m below surface. Akiba points out that the Moss mine has been producing gold the last few month through residual leaching at its beneficiation facilities, but their team is going to start mining again starting at the end of June, and then it will take several months for new materials moved onto the leach pads to charge up increased production again. A technical report is slated to be put out later in the year around September, after a few months of ramping up mining and assessing the resources in place. When the Moss Mine has been debottlenecked over time from a mining and permitting perspective and is producing at the grade and rate they believe is possible, it could almost double their current production profile with approximately another 40,000 ounces of gold production per year out of Arizona. Mako is also currently derisking their Eagle Mountain project in Guyana, and working on the next key deliverable of an agreement between the government and local stakeholders, and doing all the background environmental and engineering work to being the process for their EIA permit. Once it is received back and a construction decision is made, there will be roughly a 1 year build, and then production is slated for Q2 of 2027 at an estimated 65,000 ounces per year. When this added to the production out of Nicaragua and Arizona there is clear line of sight to growing into a mid-tier gold producer. If you have any further questions for Akiba regarding Mako Mining, then please email them into us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com. In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Mako Mining at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell more shares at any time.

El partido de gobierno en Venezuela alcanzó una mayoría absoluta de 253 escaños en las elecciones legislativas, incluyendo a un gobernador y ocho diputados al Parlamento en la rica región del Esequibo que disputa con Guyana.
Repasamos lo más destacado de la semana con nuestra analista externa M.ª Dolores Albiac, con quien hablamos de las elecciones regionales de Venezuela, donde el chavismo ha ganado en 23 estados mientras la oposición cuestiona resultados por la baja participación, y en medio, el nuevo desafío entre Venezuela y Guyana por haber elegido gobernador en Esequibo; también analizamos la situación en México con el hallazgo de un nuevo rancho con 17 cuerpos mientras los ciudadanos afrontan este domingo elecciones para elegir a jueces y magistrados; y terminamos hablando de Panamá, donde la huelga de hace un mes de los trabajadores de la bananera Chiquita en protesta por las políticas sociales del presidente Raúl Mulino ha derivado en el despido de 5000 de ellos y al Estado de emergencia en la región. Después, Nico Gómez nos habla de algunos reclamos turísticos de Puerto Rico. Escuchar audio
La semana pasada el Gobierno de Venezuela liberó a un veterano de la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos que estaba encarcelado y se lo entregó a las autoridades estadounidenses en Antigua y Barbuda. Con esta medida Nicolás Maduro espera que mejoren las relaciones bilaterales y, sobre todo, que Donald Trump permita que las compañías petroleras occidentales continúen operando en el país. El ex militar liberado, Joseph St. Clair, fue arrestado por las fuerzas de seguridad venezolanas en octubre cerca de la frontera con Colombia cuando viajaba por aquella zona junto a unos amigos. El 3 de marzo, el departamento de Estado reclamó su liberación inmediata, pero el régimen se los había guardado como moneda de cambio. Con esto Maduro pretende mostrarse cooperativo, pero no es lo único que está haciendo para congraciarse con la Casa Blanca. En los últimos tres meses, ha aceptado sin rechistar un flujo constante de vuelos de deportación desde Estados Unidos y Honduras. A principios de este mes, cinco activistas del equipo de María Corina Machado, refugiados desde el año pasado en la embajada argentina en Caracas, consiguieron abandonar el país y reaparecieron en Washington, donde ofrecieron una rueda de prensa. Maduro encajó el golpe y se está mostrando dispuesto a seguir liberando gente a cambio de que Trump sea clemente con él. Quiere sacar el máximo partido a esa diplomacia de los rehenes que los cautivos de la embajada denunciaban hace sólo unos días. El hecho es que Trump no termina de adoptar una política clara respecto a Venezuela. Está dando una de cal y otra de arena. En febrero se revocó la licencia de Chevron para producir y exportar petróleo venezolano e impuso aranceles a los países que importen crudo proveniente de Venezuela. Un revés tras otro que complica las finanzas del régimen, pero que no le supone ni mucho menos una amenaza existencial. Para compensarlo ha despachado para el Caribe a Richard Grenell como enviado presidencial con la orden de establecer negociaciones discretas con el régimen chavista. En paralelo a estas maniobras internacionales, este domingo se celebraron elecciones regionales, unos comicios en los que no votó casi nadie (la abstención fue del 85%) y que el oficialismo ganó de calle. En los municipios cercanos a Guyana se organizó además una absurda farsa. Se presentaron listas y candidatos para representar a la Guayana Esequiba, una región del país vecino que Maduro reclama como propia. Para la oposición venezolana esta letanía de acontecimientos es como el día de la marmota. Todo se repite de forma incansable y sin que los venezolanos puedan hacer nada para impedirlo, salvo abstenerse de participar en los circos electorales que el régimen organiza de forma periódica. Nada parece que vaya a cambiar y las señales que reciben de Estados Unidos no son precisamente esperanzadoras.

Repasamos la actualidad que nos lleva hasta Venezuela, donde el chavismo se otorga la victoria en 23 de los 24 estados del país y además han elegido un gobernador para Esequibo, región rica en petróleo, por la que mantienen disputa Venezuela y Guyana, algo que ha avivado acusaciones entre ambos mandatarios.

Decine di adolescenti israeliani di destra hanno aggredito commercianti e residenti musulmani nella Città Vecchia in occasione del Giorno di Gerusalemme. Nel frattempo, si fa sempre più forte la pressione di alcuni leader occidentali nei confronti di Israele. Ne parliamo con Eleonora Colpo, infermiera di Emergency lavora nella clinica di Al Qarara, nel sud della Striscia di Gaza, Nello Scavo, inviato di Avvenire, e Giuseppe Dentice, analista dell'Osservatorio Mediterraneo (OSMED) dell'Istituto di Studi Politici "S. Pio V".Mentre il presidente venezuelano Nicolas Maduro ha ottenuto ieri una netta vittoria nelle elezioni legislative, il paese è chiamato a votare per la prima il governatore e otto deputati dell'Esequibo, una regione ricca di petrolio rivendicata dal Venezuela che però è amministrata dalla vicina Guyana. Ne parliamo con Roberto Da Rin, inviato de Il Sole 24Ore in America Latina.
Le parti du président vénézuélien s'est largement imposé lors des élections législatives et régionales marquées par l'arrestation de 70 personnes et par un boycott de la majorité de l'opposition. Le PSUV de Nicolas Maduro a obtenu 82,68% des suffrages au scrutin législatif, et remporte 23 des 24 postes de gouverneur. Le PSUV s'impose notamment dans l'Essequibo, territoire du Guyana voisin revendiqué par Caracas. Pour Nicolas Maduro, cette première élection dans une circonscription créée l'an passé marque « la naissance de la nouvelle souveraineté vénézuélienne sur sa Guyana Esequiba ».Au Guyana, le Guyana Chronicle dénonce une « farce électorale illégale » de la part du Venezuela, dont l'intérêt pour l'Essequibo est né « juste après la découverte de gisements de pétrole ». Alors que le Guyana célèbre ce lundi (26 mai 2025) le 59ème anniversaire de son indépendance et se prépare pour des élections générales en septembre, le Stabroeck News appelle quant à lui à l'unité nationale face à la « menace existentielle » vénézuélienne.Au Chili, le quotidien éprouvant des exilés vénézuéliensPoussés à l'exil par la crise économique ou le contexte politique dans leur pays, de nombreux Vénézuéliens vont chercher une vie meilleure au Chili. Sur place, ils doivent néanmoins faire face à des difficultés économiques et administratives, et à un climat de plus en plus hostile, souvent alimenté par les médias. Selon la présidente de l'association vénézuélienne au Chili, Patricia Rojas, « les Vénézuéliens essayent de gommer leur accent, ils s'assimilent pour éviter des situations de discrimination voire de xénophobie. » Le reportage à Santiago de notre correspondante Naïla Derroisné. Haïti : le système de santé décimé par la violence des gangsÀ Port-au-Prince, l'insécurité et la violence des gangs anéantissent le système de santé. Les hôpitaux ferment les uns après les autres et il est quasiment impossible de se faire soigner. Selon l'association médicale haïtienne, le pays est au bord de la catastrophe sanitaire. L'Hôpital Universitaire La Paix, dernier centre hospitalier public en activité dans la capitale haïtienne, reçoit des malades de tout le pays et tente de tenir bon dans des conditions extrêmement difficiles. Notre correspondant Peterson Luxama s'y est rendu. Surinam : pas de majorité claire au ParlementLes résultats du scrutin législatif de dimanche sont très serrés. Selon les résultats préliminaires, le parti de l'actuel président Chan Santokhi, le VHP, obtiendrait 17 sièges, contre 18 pour le NPD de l'ancien président Bouterse, décédé en décembre 2024. La formation du gouvernement et la désignation du prochain président devra donc faire l'objet de négociations. La présidente du NPD Jennifer Simons pourrait devenir la première femme à diriger le pays, note le Suriname Herald. Pluie de recours en amont des élections présidentielle en BolivieNeuf des dix candidats qui ont déposé leur dossier auprès de la justice électorale pour le scrutin présidentiel ont fait l'objet de recours. Une avalanche de requêtes qui freine le processus électoral et pourrait même remettre en cause la tenue de l'élection le 17 août. L'analyse du chercheur en Sciences politiques Franz Flores au micro de notre correspondant Nils Sabin. Visite du roi Charles III au CanadaLe souverain britannique arrive à Ottawa ce lundi pour prononcer le discours du trône pour la réouverture du Parlement, sur invitation du Premier ministre Mark Carney. C'est seulement la troisième fois dans l'histoire canadienne que le chef officiel de l'État (le Canada faisant partie du Commonwealth) se déplace pour un tel événement relève le journal Le Devoir. Pour la Gazette de Montréal, «la visite du roi rassure, même au Québec», territoire où la couronne britannique est pourtant largement vue comme une institution anachronique. «Il ne s'agit pas de renforcer l'appartenance au Commonwealth» souligne le journal, «mais d'envoyer un message fort sur la souveraineté du Canada», au moment où le président américain Donald Trump répète à l'envie sa volonté de faire du Canada le 51ème État américain.
Venezuela eligió por primera vez a los representantes de la región del Esequibo, epicentro de una disputa territorial que enfrenta a Caracas con Guyana desde hace más de 180 años.
The end of the cruel Peace & the start of the desperate War.Based on ‘One In Ten' by FinalStand, adapted into 17 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels.A frightened Mother Mouse will devour her young; similarly, a frightened culture will devour its future.It wasn't like a magic force field bubble protected us until our 16th birthday. I couldn't recall all the times after I was 13 some woman asked me, or my Mother, when my 16th birthday would be. Back then, I didn't think much about it. In hindsight, those women were wondering when I would become legally sexually vulnerable. In way too many cases, women with access to teenage boys didn't wait.Even if they did,"It was my Aunt," Barabbas confessed. "She and her boss."You would think a sixteen, or seventeen, year old guy getting to sleep with a Milf would be a trip. It could be. For the boys with better developed empathy, you started to realize a woman you trusted was using your sexuality for their own advancement. Then you began feeling like a whore."She got me a job, but I quit after four months, you know,” he trailed off."Yeah," I sighed sympathetically."Yeah," Lowry snorted, "when the rest decided you should be putting out for free.""That was completely unnecessary," I glared at him."But true," he defied me."True," Barabbas agreed with a familiar degree of rejection."Mom flipped out when she figured out what Tamara; my sister; was doing," Pierre picked up his tale. "I was seventeen by that time. She helped pay for my college." We assumed the 'she' was his sister; the one who pimped him out."I hit one once," Lowry bragged. I found that somewhat difficult to believe."What happened?" Pierre asked."She kicked my ass," he chuckled. "Ex-military Reservist. Beat me like I had a cock." I read somewhere in the old days it was more common to say 'like a little bitch.' Now it was 'like I had a cock' because they didn't like teaching men to be 'too violent' aka how to defend ourselves.No one else felt like inquiring, so Barabbas did the deed."Go to the cops?""For what?" he shook his head. "I threw the first punch, and the second. Fucking Bitch. We both looked pretty rough, but I lost."Another pause."What was it like to hit one with your stick?" Lowry shot me a look."Good, damn good, and stupid. I mean, I could have ended up like you with a crowd of women on a subway kicking and stomping on me and I would have ended up in jail too," I related. "Still, it felt good, just to tell one to keep her hands to herself, ya know?" I got nods all around. We were all young, healthy and relatively handsome."Yeah, you could have gotten your ass kicked," Barabbas reminded me."In fact, one of the major reasons I didn't, gave me the pistol I'm carrying," I twitched it slightly. "The first time they came for me, I asked them ~ the Vanishers ~ to wait, and they did.""Why in the fuck would you do that?" Lowry blurted out, shocked and skeptical."At the time, I didn't trust them since I figured they were nothing more than another bunch of women telling me what to do. I wanted to use them to escape. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life serving them if it meant the same fucked-up existence I was currently living," I shared the enlightenment."What changed your mind?" Pierre's eyes lit up."I figured out their prime motivation, the nature of the conspiracy and that I had no rational chance to escape them," I answered. "Every angle I was figuring out, they had figured out years ago. On the plus side, their core philosophy requires them to engage men as equals for both biological and social reasons ~ which means they are the best game in town. In case you missed it, the Vanishers didn't 'vanish' me. I escaped on my own. They have agreed to join forces with my group; no lie.""Your group has a lot of girls," Lowry drolly noted."Lowry, exactly how was I going to recruit any male to my cause without dropping the entire Metropolitan G E D (Gender Enforcement Division) on me?""Flyers?" Barabbas joked softly."He's got a point," Pierre rallied to my cause. "As far as any of you have confessed, none of us had any guy, or girl, friends. It is why we were selected.""Okay, fine. Now what?" Lowry conceded to the consensus."We wake up tomorrow working toward equality," I huffed. "We are all going to have to learn to fight and shoot because the entire group is going to be in danger for some time to come. Society, as in Global Society, is going to come crashing down. And that means anarchy, lawlessness and barbarism before it violently spasms off into extinction.""We have lived our lives effectively as slaves, though no woman inside that house will admit it truly in their hearts. For the first time in our lives, we can change our futures. I'm sure if we surrender to whomever kills the others, they will enslave us once more and leave us with far fewer illusions about our status. Or, we can chose to fight and, if worst comes to worst, die free. I'm not going back to what I was. That means I will need to learn how to survive; and that means fighting. Not because I hate women, but because there are several I love and respect and I don't want to let them down ~ as their equal.""Tonight, think about what I've told you. Tomorrow morning, I hope you join up with us," I concluded my 'pep talk.'"And if we don't?" Lowry stared defiantly."That is something you are free to do too," I shrugged. "I'm not going to tell you what to do. Let's go back inside. It is late."We'd almost made it back when Lowry put a hand on my shoulder."Can I see the gun now?""This thing? Like this?" I half-turned, made eye contact then flick my eyes down to the pistol then back to him again."Yeah.""Have you ever handled a loaded firearm before?" I requested."Yeah, plenty of times, in my dreams," he mocked me."You are a moron," I felt my blood simmering. "This isn't a game, this (the pistol) isn't a toy, and you have not been paying attention." I put both hands on the pistol, removed the magazine then removed the chambered bullet. Lastly, ass-first, I handed him the empty pistol with my left hand while keeping the ammunition in my right."Moron, huh?" he chuckled. "Gonna give me the bullets?""No, no, I'm not going to give you the bullets because you don't know what you are doing. Unlike you, I actually have had a firearm lesson. More to the point, I won't give you a loaded firearm because I think I've stressed the lady, or ladies, watching over us right now enough for one night.""Huh?" Lowry and Barabbas echoed. Pierre looked around."Wes didn't keep us inside to play '20 Questions' for her own amusement. She kept us occupied so her other teammate, or teammates, could move to this side of the house, so they could watch over us while giving you three the delusion we were alone. They are professionals in camouflage gear with night-vision goggles, so unless they had to move rapidly through the underbrush, we weren't likely to detect them.""I played along because I felt it was necessary for you three to open up a little bit. Life is only going to get tougher over the next few months. None of us want to have a chat with heavily armed women staring over our shoulders, so I took us outside where it would appear we were alone," I explained."You lied to us," Lowry snipped."No. My words were true. What I did was allow you to deceive yourself as to our level of security and amount of company. I did what I did for the good of the group, regardless of gender, Gentlemen. It is how we all need to start thinking. Something else you might want to think about is: everyone I love is with me here today. A good number of people who decided getting in my way was a good thing aren't even alive anymore. I will gladly embrace any one of you as brothers. If you are an obstacle, I will fucking see you gone, one way or another; clear?""We are guys," Lowry insisted smugly. Old thinking: women protected men."I; don't; care," I glared back. "You may be a sperm-shooter, but inside me is the only surefire cure for the Gender Plague. I repeat: people I love, and there are several, are all alive today because I cared and took an active hand in their survival. My enemies are mostly dead. Being a man will save you from the women in there. It won't save you from me.""You'd kill us?" Pierre whispered."Pierre, my Mother died over a year ago. Where are your Mother and Sister? You don't give a damn about a single fucking human being and yet you expect me to trust you? Why?" I challenged him. "I've already proved to multiple people I can reach beyond my shell and give a fuck. Until you rejoin the Human Race, I value the rest of those battling alongside me far more than you, or anyone else regardless of whether they have a penis, or a vagina. I'm not going to snap your neck, stab, or shoot you. I'm simply not going to bother trying to save you. The World is doing a bang-up job of killing the rest of Humanity off, without my assistance.""I really ought to punch you," Lowry threatened."Give it your best shot," I took a step toward him. That wasn't what he, or I, was expecting. I put down my poor judgment and combative demeanor to exhaustion."Don't, guys," Barabbas interceded."You are an Asshole," Lowry snarled."And you are consistently ignoring reality," I snapped back. "For instance, we are not alone out here, plus we are also at the door." I knocked once. The door swung open to reveal a rather attentive and unhappy Wes Prince. I handed her the bullet and magazine."You were listening in?" Lowry turned his anger on her. Wes' eyes went from me, to him, out into the darkness then back to me, though her words were to Lowry."Yes. Of course I was listening in. I wouldn't call him an Asshole. I'd go for Smart-ass." To me, "Do you enjoy being annoyingly correct?""No. I'd be ecstatic to realize I was completely wrong about everything and had lapsed into a mad delusion," I related, my own anger seeping away. "Being right means I have to keep appreciating and respecting you and your compatriots and taking responsibility for my own clumsy contributions to our current situation, which I don't want to do. I want to go to bed.""Come on in and go to bed then," she softened. She made a slight hand gesture. "My pistol, please, Mr. Pritchard?" she requested of Lowry. Grudgingly he gave her the firearm. She stepped aside. Lowry went first, Barabbas second. Pierre gasped slightly because as he went up the steps he noticed the two Vanishers coming toward us from outside ~ the ones I had predicted to be watching us.I went in after Pierre. Wes followed along. Capri and Kuiko were waiting. The lights had already been dimmed throughout most of the rest of the dwelling."Who were those other two guys?" Wes stopped me."Sergeant Major Daly was a Marine N C O and improv poet renowned for his battlefield musings. His most famous philosophical insight into the fighting spirit of men came in World War One. In his words "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?" He also won two Medals of Honor, so he must have had some talent.""Company Sergeant-Major John Robert Osborn was a Canadian; that was the country which now makes up the northern third of our current Federation; who found himself misplaced on the island of Hong Kong in late 1941; him, a handful of lads from Winnipeg and a shitload more Japanese. He and the Japanese ended up in a game of grenade tag,”"Grenade tag?" one of my two 'silent' guardians interrupted."Yes ~ grenade tag. Apparently in the olden days, grenades didn't airburst, or explode on impact. You pulled a pin and threw it at the enemy, then waited for the fuse to burn out and the grenade to go 'Boom!.' Quick, brave, and or stupid people could grab that grenade and toss it back. In some cases, one grenade might make two, or three trips before detonating.""Anyway, the Japanese were so very rudely throwing grenades into the position he and his Winnipeg Grenadiers were defending, so he kept returning them. After eight and a half hours of such fun, he came across one he couldn't toss back in time. He covered it with his body to shield his comrades from the blast, dying instantly. The British Empire gave him something called the Victoria Cross for his actions. He was the first Canadian in World War Two to receive it.""Why do you know such stuff?" she grinned. "Oh, I'm Scar and this is Nat," she indicated the third member of the Wes-Scar-Nat Vanisher trio."I considered myself a coward, so I read a lot about brave men. I was kind of hoping to figure out how I could be brave myself, one day," I disclosed."Mission success," the third one smiled. "Go to bed."I gathered up Capri and Kuiko and did as instructed. As I rested my head on the pillow, lights out and my mind gratefully shutting down."Less impressive sex, Bitch," Capri teased."No," I groaned."They definitely think you've got the 'sexy'," Kuiko enlightened me."Can we please just go to sleep?" I begged.Capri rolled onto her side, back to me, gave me a bump in the hip with her ass, then moved away a tiny bit. Kuiko wiggled close, kissed me lightly on the cheek, and then did the same. Unconsciousness took me before any other worries could steal my much needed slumber.The Larger World:As I struggled for sleep a second time, events unfolding in three different places around the Globe (Asia, the City and the Capitol) would impact my fate.Asia:First; the brutal agony still going on as the Sun disappeared over the horizon wasn't over when I woke up the next morning. It was largely misunderstood for some time afterwards, but was referred to as; the Battle for Shanghai.Five Chinese regular force divisions fought the garrison division of Shanghai, its 'reserve' division, hastily gathered volunteer female formations and a hodge-podge of ancillary forces the United Nations could throw into the fray. The goal for both sides was to seize a mother and her unborn child. Within them were the only other active resistant viral factory killing the T2 Gender Plague. By the time I woke up, both sides were sure the other side had killed them both, pretty much insuring the extinction of all sentient life in Eurasia.I say 'Eurasia' because by dusk of the previous day, the Federation knew for sure I, the other source of a cure for the T2, was still alive and kicking, as were my sons. My sons held a nebulous promise for a future date. I was of immediate importance since my adult body could produce enough antivirals to protect tens of thousands of people on a relatively continuous basis, or so it was projected.With, or without the mother and child, China was done for. Japan and Korea were rapidly circling the drain. North of China, the Plague was racing across Siberian Russia. Central Asia had never really recovered from the first round of the Gender Plague all those years ago so, now off the beaten path, would be longer in dying. India had too many outbreaks to even dream of containment. Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and the Levant Republic all had reported cases as well.Europe:Beyond the Urals, the Europeans were grappling with the looming fear of a global economic collapse along with the Specter of Death though 48 hours into the crisis, there were no cases to report yet. Civil order was teetering. Several nations had either closed their borders, or were considering doing so. Women began hording food, and men.Africa:

TOM CLANCY LINE OF DEMARCATION starts with the destruction of a US Coast Guard cutter and the loss of her entire crew. But the USCG Claiborne was on an innocuous mission to open a sea lane between an oil field off the coast of South America and the refineries of southern Louisiana. The destruction of the ship—tragic as it is—won't stop that mission from continuing. So, who would sacrifice twenty-two men and women just to slow down the plan? That's the question plaguing Jack, who is in Guyana working on a deal to get his company, Hendley Associates, in on the ground floor of this new discovery. But Russia's Wagner Group and a pack of Venezuelan narco-terrorists have other ideas—and will risk war with the United States to see them through. It's up to Jack to identify the killers before they draw a bead on him . . . but how can he do that when the line of demarcation between friend and foe is constantly shifting? ABOUT THE AUTHORS:M.P. Woodward is the New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Shadow State and The Handler CIA espionage series (The Handler and Dead Drop). Woodward served for a decade as a U.S. Naval intelligence officer before going on to an international career in tech and streaming media. He lives in the Pacific Northwest. Thirty-five years ago, Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore's Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.For more info on the book click HERE

In this episode, I'm introducing G2 Goldfields (TSX.V:GTWO - OTCQX:GUYGF), a gold exploration company rapidly gaining attention following a major high-grade gold discovery and continued growth at its flagship Oko Gold Project in Guyana. Joining me is Dan Noone, CEO of G2 Goldfields, who walks us through the company's resource, expansion plans, and ongoing exploration success. Key Highlights from the Interview: Oko Gold Project now hosts 3.1Moz at ~3g/t, with multiple deposits along a 2.5km strike - anchored by the high-grade Oko Main Zone and expanding into the Ghanie Zone. A new high-grade discovery (“New Oko”) 9km north of the existing resource is delivering thick, near-surface mineralization, rapidly becoming the top priority with 4 rigs turning. Strategic exploration is ongoing across a district-scale 85,000-acre land package, including the historic Peters Mine. The company is well-funded with ~C$30M in the treasury and a drill cost of ~US$200/meter. Discussion around potential timing of a PEA, while management remains focused on discovery and resource growth. Institutional interest, with AngloGold Ashanti now holding a 15% stake and insiders controlling 25%. Please email me with any questions you have for Dan. My email address is Fleck@kereport.com.

Part 2 - Senators Novelle Francis and Marvin Blyden check in with Neville as Lawmakers on Wednesday continued to question why the company formerly known as Viya is receiving tax incentives after a corporate restructuring saw local executives laid off and a number of Virgin Islands jobs exported to Guyana.
TOM CLANCY LINE OF DEMARCATION starts with the destruction of a US Coast Guard cutter and the loss of her entire crew. But the USCG Claiborne was on an innocuous mission to open a sea lane between an oil field off the coast of South America and the refineries of southern Louisiana. The destruction of the ship—tragic as it is—won't stop that mission from continuing. So, who would sacrifice twenty-two men and women just to slow down the plan? That's the question plaguing Jack, who is in Guyana working on a deal to get his company, Hendley Associates, in on the ground floor of this new discovery. But Russia's Wagner Group and a pack of Venezuelan narco-terrorists have other ideas—and will risk war with the United States to see them through. It's up to Jack to identify the killers before they draw a bead on him . . . but how can he do that when the line of demarcation between friend and foe is constantly shifting?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Interview with Justin van der Toorn, President & CEO of Greenheart Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/greenheart-gold-tsxvghrt-proven-team-pursues-new-gold-discoveries-in-guyana-6280Recording date: 8th May 2025Greenheart Gold is an emerging gold explorer focused on early-stage discovery in the Guiana Shield, spanning Guyana and Suriname. Formed as a spin-out from Reunion Gold and G-Mine Adventures, the company is led by CEO Justin van der Toorn and staffed by a proven technical team from Reunion. Greenheart pursues a rigorous, data-driven strategy—advancing only those targets with clear signs of mineralization while rapidly dropping underperformers.The company is actively exploring five projects, including Majorodam and Igab in Suriname, and Tamakay, Abuya, and Tosso Creek in Guyana. At Majorodam, early RC drilling yielded standout intercepts such as 6m at 8–9 g/t Au and 30m at 2 g/t Au. The site's favorable access and geological setting prompted the team to move quickly from soil sampling to drilling, bypassing traditional trenching due to surface conditions. At Igab, located near Newmont's Merian mine, widespread anomalies and visible gold suggest a high-potential discovery zone.In Guyana, the company has shown discipline by reducing its footprint at Tamakay after inconclusive geochemical results, while continuing focused work in historically mined zones. At Tosso Creek, early soil anomalies and structural indicators have positioned the project for a LIDAR survey and follow-up drilling in 2025.Greenheart's outsourced data management ensures QA/QC integrity, reinforcing confidence in its exploration process. With strong financial backing, road-accessible projects, and proximity to major operations, Greenheart is well-positioned to deliver meaningful results in a region known for untapped gold potential. For investors seeking early-stage leverage to discovery in one of the world's most prospective gold terrains, Greenheart Gold offers a disciplined and technically robust platform for growth.View Greenheart Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/greenheart-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Guyana's latest crude stream is due to reach the market in the third quarter, adding 250,000 b/d to the South American country's production capacity. Output has climbed rapidly since Guyana's Liza grade made its debut in late 2019. This time, however, the new Yellowtail development will be bringing more light sweet crude to the market, which will compete with exports from Argentina and the US. How can Guyana compete at current oil prices, with WTI currently trading below $60/b? What does Yellowtail mean for the US production outlook? Who are the likely buyers for this Guyanese crude? Join Jeff Mower, director of Americas Oil News, as he discusses these issues and more with Platts crude price editor Jada Johnson and Felipe Perez, S&P Global Commodity Insights head of Latin America Fuels & Refining Research and Strategy.

Collins | Oxford University Museum of Natural History This month, we’re talking about cultivators — women who nurtured, cross-pollinated, experimented, or went to great lengths to better understand and protect the natural world. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

Conrad Black, National Post THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Taking-Manhattan-Extraordinary-Created-America/dp/0393881164/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 The author of The Island at the Center of the World offers up a thrilling narrative of how New York―that brash, bold, archetypal city―came to be. In 1664, England decided to invade the Dutch-controlled city of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York, had dreams of empire, and their archrivals, the Dutch, were in the way. But Richard Nicolls, the military officer who led the English flotilla bent on destruction, changed his strategy once he encountered Peter Stuyvesant, New Netherland's canny director general. Bristling with vibrant characters, Taking Manhattan reveals the founding of New York to be an invention, the result of creative negotiations that would blend the multiethnic, capitalistic society of New Amsterdam with the power of the rising English empire. But the birth of what might be termed the first modern city is also a story of the brutal dispossession of Native Americans and of the roots of American slavery. The book draws from newly translated materials and illuminates neglected histories―of religious refugees, Indigenous tribes, and free and enslaved Africans. Taking Manhattan tells the riveting story of the birth of New York City as a center of capitalism and pluralism, a foundation from which America would rise. It also shows how the paradox of New York's origins―boundless opportunity coupled with subjugation and displacement―reflects America's promise and failure to this day. Russell Shorto, whose work has been described as "astonishing" (New York Times) and "literary alchemy" (Chicago Tribune), has once again mined archival sources to offer a vibrant tale and a fresh and trenchant argument about American beginnings. 115-1130 2/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) 1130-1145 3/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) 1145-1200 4/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 #NewWorldReport: Tariffs and Mexico and Brazil.
