If you walk down the street in Paraguay, you will hear people speaking Spanish, the official language of most of the countries of Latin America. But, particularly if you are in the countryside, you will also hear something else: Guaraní.It's one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in the Americas; a mother tongue of roughly six and half million people. In particular, in Paraguay.There, most Paraguayans speak Guaraní or a mixture of Guaraní and Spanish, regardless of whether or not they are Indigenous Guaraní, mestizo, or white. When Paraguay was invaded in the mid-1800s, Guaraní became the language of resistance. It has been preserved and passed down from generation to generation. This is episode 49 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews Kaveh Shahrooz.  Kaveh is a lawyer, a human rights activist, a university instructor, and a Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. A former Senior Policy Advisor to Global Affairs Canada on international human rights policy, Kaveh is a graduate of Harvard Law School and the University of Toronto. He serves as a legal advisor to the Association of Families of Flight PS752 and is also a co-founder of the Iranian Justice Collective, an organization focused on supporting Iranian democratic aspirations.Together Kaveh and Brian discuss the current situation in Iran, noting that the regime's nuclear policy has isolated and damaged the country economically. Kaveh explained that Iranians are angry not at Israel for its attacks, but at their own government for its handling of the situation and for prioritizing defense spending over civil liberties. He also expressed concern that the Israeli strikes, while currently precise, could escalate and lead to broader conflict. Kaveh agrees with the assessment that Iran's nuclear program is aimed at developing a bomb, rather than civilian energy purposes, and that the country is close to achieving nuclear capability.

Q'eswachaka is the last Incan rope bridge. It's located down in a valley in the Andes mountains of Peru. And in early June, the residents of four Quechua communities hold a three-day-long festival, where they rebuild the bridge from scratch.This is not just a task to be done, but an ancestral ceremony. A means of holding on to their traditions and the story—resisting modernity and the passage of time, by preserving this piece of their history and their culture.The bridge itself is a symbol of the community's connection to their past, to their ancestors, to the next generations, to the land… and to Mother Earth. This is episode 48 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Roughly a billion people enjoy coffee daily, and more than 100 million people rely on it for income. However, the coffee industry is the sixth-largest driver of deforestation and is also rife with human rights abuses, including the labor of enslaved persons and children. But it doesn't have to be this way, says this guest on the Mongabay Newscast. Etelle Higonnet is the founder of the NGO Coffee Watch, having formerly served as a senior adviser at the U.S. National Wildlife Federation. The main commodity on her radar now is coffee. On this podcast episode, she explains how the industry can — and should — reform its practices. "It's so simple … pay a living [a] living income wage," she says, " and a lot of human rights violations will just dry up." To target deforestation, Higonnet says the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is "a beautiful law" that "simply put, would bar imports of coffee into the European Union if that coffee is tainted by deforestation or illegality. So, two things that are illegal off the top of my head are slavery and child labor."

"The Second Brain: AI and the Human Right to Intelligence": Should AI be a human right?Interview with Greg S SteeleIn this My Life Now episode, Dallas interviews author Greg S Steele.About the Book:The Second Brain and the Human right to intelligence. In a world where artificial intelligence is revolutionizing every facet of life. The Second Brain makes a compelling argument: access to AI should be a fundamental human right. As the gap between those who wield advanced technology and those left behind widens, this book exposes the dangers of allowing AI to be monopolized by the few, allowing it to become a tool of exploitation rather than empowerment.Drawing from historical examples of technological inequality and exploitation, The Second Brainexplores how societies have always been divided by access to knowledge and power. With AI now functioning as a "second brain," capable of augmenting human intelligence beyond natural limits, the stakes are higher than ever. This groundbreaking work examines how equitable access to AI could liberate individuals, offering a pathway to global intelligence that transcends economic, social, and political divides.Challenging the reader to imagine a future where intelligence is not just a privilege of the elite but a right for all, this thought-provoking book is a call to action. The Second Brain provides a visionary framework for harnessing AI's potential to uplift humanity rather than oppress it—making the case that ensuring everyone's right to intelligence is crucial for a just and fair future.Buy Your Copy of the Book: https://a.co/d/hwwjPBtThank you for listening to and supporting the My Life Now podcast show.

Bruce Springsteen has never shied away from expressing his political views. And he's not gonna back down now.“In my home, the America I love. The America I've written about. That has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration,” he told a crowd at a concert in Europe, in May. Donald Trump responded over Truth Social, calling him a “pushy, obnoxious jerk” and a “dried out ‘prune' of a rocker.”In dark times, music and song gives us hope. Bruce Springsteen, like Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, or Woody Guthrie, is one of those musicians who has often led the way with songs for the downtrodden. Songs for the working class, for hardworking Americans, for immigrants. For justice and freedom. And other famous rock idols have got the Boss's back.This is episode 47 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Spotlight on Silence - June 15, 2025In this episode of Groong: Spotlight on Silence, we speak with Rafael Ishkhanyan of the Armenian Center for Political Rights about Armenia's sweeping new surveillance law. Passed quietly in March 2025, the law grants police 24/7 access to camera networks across public institutions and allows for real-time facial recognition, raising deep concerns about privacy, political targeting, and unchecked state power. We explore what the law says, what it leaves out, and why international silence—despite clear risks to civil liberties—has been so striking.Topics:Armenia legalizes round-the-clock surveillance.Law enables political targeting, critics warn.No oversight, no privacy laws.Silence from Armenia's new geopolitical allies.Guest: Rafael IshkhanyanHosts: Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 446 | Recorded: June 12, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/446#Armenia #SurveillanceState #FacialRecognition #PrivacyRights #DigitalAuthoritarianism #ACPR #HumanRightsSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know This, Too, ITEST presents a webinarentitled  "Bioethics & AI as Human Flourishing: Where Catholic & Orthodox Social Teaching meet in One Christian Social Ethos" (June 14, 2025)Dr. Constantine PsimopoulosBIOETHICS AND AI AS HUMAN FLOURISHING: WHERE CATHOLICS AND ORTHODOX MEET IN ONE CHRISTIAN SOCIAL ETHOSConstantine Psimopoulos is a Professor (Adj.) of Bioethics at Hellenic College Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, teaching Christian Ethics and Social Ministries and is on the faculty at Harvard's Initiative on Health, Spirituality and Religion, of which he is also Senior Program Administrator, and the Human Flourishing program. He has another Academic research appointment in Global Health and Social Medicine and the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School. At Harvard, he co-teaches the course Religion and Public Health and a new required module taught to all MD/PhD students. Constantine serves as the Director of the Division of Bioethics of the Orthodox Academy of Crete (Ecumenical Patriarchate), and as an Invited Member to the Inaugural National Committee on AI – Artificial Intelligence (and Theology) of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.AbstractThis presentation draws a comparison between Catholic social teaching and the Social ethos of the Orthodox church. Both traditions have some parallels in the way they approach AI, from a bioethical perspective that addresses social justice. The document ‘For the Life of the World' (F.L.O.W.) of our Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, emphasizes that science and technology are a wonderful product of a God-given human creativity, and that “the desire for scientific knowledge flows from the same wellspring as faith's longing to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of God.” It is an imperative to use AI for Human Flourishing. From a Christian bioethical lens, science and technology, and in particular Artificial Intelligence (AI), can serve as one concrete example of how this can be addressed.Fr. Michael Baggot, LCProgramming with Purpose: Guiding AI through Catholic Social TeachingFr. Michael Baggot is Legionary of Christ, an Associate Professor of Bioethics at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, and an Invited Professor of Theology at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) and the Catholic Institute of Technology (CatholicTech). He also serves as a professor for the Joint Diploma in Leadership: Service through Virtues and the Catholic Worldview Fellowship summer program. In addition, Fr. Michael is a Research Scholar at the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights and a member of the Scholarly Advisory Board for Magisterium AI. He is also a fellow of the Fr. James L. Heft, SM Generations in Dialogue program at the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at the University of Southern California.AbstractAs an expert in humanity, the Catholic Church is deeply interested in the AI technologies that are shaping family life, education, medicine, religious practice, and other key aspects of social life. The presentation draws on the social doctrine of the Catholic Church to highlight the virtues and social structures most conducive to using AI tools to promote human flourishing. It gives special attention to the influence of AI companion systems on the loneliness epidemic and the quest for social connections. The conference also examines the significance of ecumenical dialogue, interreligious dialogue, and dialogue with secular traditions in addressing the perennial philosophical questions that emerging technologies raise.Bioethics and AI as Human Flourishing: Where Catholic and Orthodox Social Teaching meet in One Christian Social Ethos - Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology

Delaware has become the 12th U.S. state to legalize medical aid in dying. In this deeply personal episode of The Non-Prophets, the hosts discuss the hard-won passage of House Bill 140 and the dignity it affords terminally ill patients. They examine the safeguards, ethical debates, and religious opposition to such laws—and why support remains strong despite decades of resistance. This is a story of autonomy, compassion, and the right to choose a peaceful end.The Friendly Atheist, “At long last, Delaware enacts ‘death with dignity' law”By Hemant Mehta, May 29, 2025https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/at-long-last-delaware-enacts-deathThe Non-Prophets 24.23.3 with Eli, AJ, and Kelley LaughlinDelaware Legalizes Death with Dignity

You might think that Ernesto “Che” Guevara's resistance came with the Cuban revolution. When he sailed on the yacht known as the Granma, picked up arms, fought alongside Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra, and liberated the island of Cuba. Or when he denounced US intervention at the United Nations, or when he helped to lead Cuba and make it self-sufficient, despite the US embargo that still exists today. Or when he left it all behind to try and spark a revolution in Bolivia.But Ernesto Guevara's resistance began long before all of that. It began when he traveled. When he wandered the land. When he saw the unjust global system all around him—a caste system imposed on the countries of Latin America, where the wealthy were at the top and everyone else fought over the miserable crumbs. And Che Guevara refused to obey. Che vowed to do everything he could to fight it. To resist it. And resist he did… This is episode 46 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

The aftermath of Biden's open border policies continues to haunt America as the consequences of mass illegal immigration continue to snowball. Changing attitudes towards, net positive, productive legal migration reflects the sentiment stirred up by the surge in illegal immigration we experienced the last four years. How does this affect workforce participation and address population decline? What role does the welfare state play? How are foreign adversaries using this mess as an opportunity to establish influence operations through universities, social media, and in foreign born communities? Has something changed about the nature of illegal migrants to America? And where is an immigration reform bill in Congress to address these issues permanently?Nicholas Eberstadt is the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute where he researched demographics, economic development, and international security in the Korean peninsula and Asia. He is also a senior advisor to the National Bureau of Asian Research, a founding board member of the US Committee on Human Rights in North Korea, and has served as consultant or adviser to the US Government and international organizations. His most recent book is the Post-Pandemic Edition of Men Without Work (Templeton, 2022). His demographic work on immigration focuses on societies facing population decline and the crucial role of skilled immigrants, both of which he addresses in his Working Paper, “America's Immigration Mess: An Illustrated Guide.”Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

Καλεσμένος ο κ. Κωνσταντίνος Φελλάς, Πρόεδρος της Εθνικής Επιτροπής Βιοηθικής Κύπρου. Πριν λίγες μέρες, η Βουλή των Αντιπροσώπων της Κύπρου, ξεκίνησε τις συζητήσεις για τη νομιμοποίηση της ευθανασίας. Μια λέξη που μόνο και μόνο στο άκουσμα της δημιουργεί αντιδράσεις. Η συζήτηση και η διαφωνία για την ευθανασία αφορά ηθικά, θρησκευτικά, κοινωνικά και νομικά ζητήματα. Είναι ένα ζήτημα ευαίσθητο που αγγίζει τον πυρήνα της ανθρώπινης ύπαρξης, τον ρόλο των γιατρών αλλά και την ευθύνη του ίδιου του κράτους.Ερωτήματα όπως, το δικαίωμα στο θάνατο είναι το ίδιο ισχυρό με το δικαίωμα στη ζωή ή ποιος παίρνει την απόφαση, διχάζουν την κοινωνία.

In this explosive episode of Breaking Free, I sit down with Craig Cole—founder of Leave Our Kids Alone—to pull the curtain back on a chilling agenda being pushed right into classrooms across the country. We're talking about the deliberate sexualised indoctrination of your children and grandchildren—a calculated attack not just on their innocence, but on the very moral fabric of our society. This isn't theory. It's documented. It's fact-checked. And it's happening right now.Craig exposes how government institutions and politicians are not only allowing this—but are actively enabling and encouraging it under the deceitful banner of “Diversity & Inclusion.” He names names, calls out the Victorian Department of Education, and reveals how many principals and teachers are fully aware of what they're implementing—and do so without shame.This isn't about hate. It's about truth, accountability, and protecting the next generation.Your concerns as a parent or grandparent are being silenced, ridiculed, and gaslit by a system that no longer serves your values—or your children's wellbeing.

Independent journalists say they are under threat in El Salvador. At least 15 journalists have fled the country in recent weeks. Roughly a dozen more are in hiding out of fear for their safety.“There's an atmosphere of fear, of anxiety. Of insecurity,” says Oscar Orellana, the head of the community media association ARPAS.But many continue to report. They continue to denounce the unjust detention of human rightsdefenders.

Protesters have taken to the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco. They're protesting the detention and arrest of thousands of immigrants by Donald Trump's immigration officials. Protests have carried on for days. They've shut down highways. They've shouted, “No.” Trump has responded, calling in the national guard, despite objections from local state officials. It's the first time a president has unilaterally called in the national guard in 60 years. California governor Gavin Newsom says he's suing Trump for illegally deploying federal troops and “flaming the fires.” People have promised to resist. More protests are planned for today and the coming days. This is episode 44 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

On this powerful episode of "The Watchdog," Lowkey sits down with Ahmed Alnaouq, a Palestinian writer, journalist, and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers—a collective that amplifies Palestinian voices through storytelling. Alnaouq joins from the U.K. to talk about his best-selling new book, "We Are Not Numbers," a humanizing collection of 74 stories written by 59 Palestinians, two of whom have since been killed during Israel's ongoing war on Gaza.Alnaouq speaks with urgency about the genocide unfolding in Gaza, the silencing of Palestinian voices, and why it is imperative to talk openly about Zionism—not as abstract theory, but as a lived reality. As he explains:“We Palestinians are the best equipped to talk about Zionism, because Zionism is a practice on us... We must talk about it!”The episode also revisits Alnaouq's viral confrontation with Piers Morgan, during which he dismantled the media narrative that framed the conflict as a religious war. Instead, Alnaouq sets the record straight:“This is not a religious war. It is a war between colonizers and colonized, between occupiers and occupied… It's not with the Jews.”With over 55,000 Palestinians—mostly women and children—killed in Gaza, and the United Nations warning of starvation and collapse, Alnaouq urges the world to act, speak out, and bear witness.We Are Not Numbers is available now and has already been translated into multiple languages.Watch the full interview on MintPress News and subscribe to The Watchdog for more conversations that challenge censorship, expose propaganda, and speak truth to power.Support the showThe Watchdog is 100% independent and listener-supported.
