00:00:50 – Trump, NFL & Dictatorship ComparisonsThe show opens with Trump mocking the NFL's new kickoff rule as “sissy football.” This segues into a warning about Trump's emergency powers, tariffs, and governing by decree, comparing him to global dictators. 00:13:58 – Free Speech Betrayed After Kirk's DeathDiscussion of Trump, JD Vance, and GOP leaders calling for censorship in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The Smith-Mundt Act is misrepresented to justify cracking down on the press, with comparisons to Reagan's betrayal of the Second Amendment after the Brady shooting. 00:23:10 – Media Control & False NarrativesGuests like Tucker Carlson and RFK Jr. are accused of aiding efforts to redefine free speech as terrorism. Skepticism is raised toward Steve Bannon's claims and the FBI's version of events, framing it as another push toward surveillance and internet ID mandates. 00:36:17 – Armed Queers & Radical MarxistsCoverage of “Armed Queers SLC,” a Marxist-LGBT militant group in Utah linked to Cuba. Their open revolutionary training and ties to Antifa figures are framed as proof that universities are breeding grounds for leftist terrorism. 00:52:02 – First Amendment vs. ViolenceDebate shifts to why the First Amendment is more important than the Second, arguing that radicalization comes from schools, culture, and censorship itself—not weapons. Liberty is portrayed as inherently dangerous but preferable to state control. 01:18:12 – Internet Control & Epstein Files BuriedSpeculation deepens around the Kirk shooting, with questions about the rifle used, multiple shooters, and hand signals. The assassination is tied to a broader effort to end online anonymity, while the Epstein files are said to be quietly buried under the media fog. 01:34:28 – J.K. Rowling & Faith StrugglesDiscussion of Rowling's “God-shaped vacuum” comments, her shift toward more conservative views, and Pascal's wager. The host critiques her books as amoral and emphasizes grounding in the Bible. 01:49:45 – Authoritarian Conservatism & Cancel CultureCriticism of JD Vance and other GOP leaders for embracing cancel culture, urging snitching on Kirk critics, and mirroring Stasi-style tactics. The host stresses this betrays free speech and liberty. 01:55:23 – Social Media, Radicalization & SchoolsDebunking claims that social media “killed Charlie Kirk.” Instead, government schools are identified as the true source of radicalization, pushing Marxism, LGBT ideology, and secular humanism. 02:28:38 – AI Fails & Security RisksCoverage of how AI coding creates massive security vulnerabilities and relies on underpaid human moderators. The “AI bubble” is framed as a pyramid scheme propped up by propaganda and capital burn. 02:53:43 – Gold Surges Amid Panic CutsFinancial analyst Ed Dowd predicts a “panic rate cut cycle,” driving gold above $3,700. Gold is praised as a hedge against inflation, privacy loss, and collapsing fiat systems, while Trump's tariffs are blamed for worsening the economy.

Una advertencia que no podemos ignorar: Hebreos 2:1–4 nos recuerda el peligro real de descuidar “una salvación tan grande”. En este episodio, el pastor Danny Rojas nos guía a reflexionar sobre la supremacía de Cristo y la urgencia de prestar atención al Evangelio, con una lectura especial desde Cuba.

Before "Ted Lasso," before viral Super Bowl speeches, and long before anyone tried to give athletes emotional depth in a rom-com, there was Jerry Maguire. The year was 1996. The Cold War was over, the NFL was king, and Tom Cruise was still a god among men, only this time, he wasn't flying jets, breaking into vaults, or sliding around in his jocks. He was having an existential crisis... over sports marketing. Join the team for this Jerry Maguire (1996) Review.This week on Born to Watch, the team gets personal with Cameron Crowe's career-defining genre-bender. It's a sports film. It's a romantic drama. It's a corporate takedown. It's an Oscar-worthy performance from Cuba Gooding Jr., a breakout role for Renée Zellweger, and the movie that made grown men cry, "You complete me."Whitey sets the tone, reminding us that Tom Cruise's 90s run, A Few Good Men, The Firm, Mission: Impossible, Magnolia, is better than most actors' entire careers. He dives headfirst into Jerry's meltdown, that now-iconic mission statement, and the truth that integrity doesn't pay… until it suddenly does. Gow takes us into the heart of the Rod Tidwell storyline and how one man's love for his family and the almighty bonus created one of cinema's most quotable characters. Will? He gets emotional. There are tears. Multiple.The pod goes all in on the movie's cry meter, with Whitey clocking in at a solid three sobs, and Gow recommending we scrap the popcorn scale for tears-per-scene metrics. We break down why this movie hits so hard: the kid with glasses saying "You said fuck," the kitchen kiss, the living room apology, and yes, the car radio singalong that still gives everyone anxiety.The team also has questions: What was Jerry doing on that porch? Is Bob Sugar the most punchable man in cinematic history? Could Tom Hanks have pulled this off, or did Cruise's signature manic energy make this role iconic? And what's with Dickie Fox and his "wake up happy" nonsense? Do we buy it, or want to slap him?As always, we hit The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. The good? The chemistry between Cruise and Cuba. The soundtrack that absolutely slaps. Bonnie Hunt is an underrated MVP. The bad? The wedding scene. Jerry's inability to fake happiness. That mission statement is being printed at Kinko's. The ugly? A porch makeout scene that doesn't belong in a PG-13 film, especially with a child and a sister literally ten feet away.The cast breakdown gets the complete treatment: Zellweger's rise from indie darling to Oscar winner, Cuba's perfect moment before a long string of missed roles, and a deep, reluctant appreciation for Jay Mohr's ultra-hatable Bob Sugar. Also: Jonathan Lipnicki, secret weapon. Human heads weigh 8 pounds. Who knew?Legacy-wise, Jerry Maguire doesn't just survive; it thrives. It's more relevant in 2025 than ever: in a world that prizes hustle and brand, it reminds us what it means to care. It's messy. It's heartfelt. And it's full of awkward truths that still sting.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs this Tom Cruise's most human role?Did the mission statement actually change anything, or make him broke?Who deserves the bonus: Jerry or Rod?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and show us the listener love.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.

Este 15 de septiembre se ha presentado en Bruselas un informe integral de la organización Prisoners Defenders sobre la situación del trabajo forzoso en los centros penitenciarios de Cuba. La investigación revela el uso del trabajo bajo coacción con fines económicos y punitivos de 60.000 presos. El informe de la organización Prisoners Defenders, con sede en Madrid, se ha realizado con 53 testimonios de presos cubanos que viven en el país y que han podido ser validados con datos de identificación. Javier Larrondo, su presidente, dice que se han realizado al menos 150 entrevistas, pero algunas de ellas aún no se han podido verificar o los entrevistados no han querido dar sus datos completos. Mecanismos de coacción Larrondo expone a RFI cuales son los mecanismos de coacción: “En Cuba, los presos son amenazados de que si no hacen el trabajo forzoso perderán las visitas a sus familiares, las llamadas y todos los beneficios penitenciarios que les corresponden. Además, si ellos están en una prisión de mínimo rigor, porque tienen derecho a estar, si no hacen el trabajo forzoso les llevan a una prisión de máximo rigor”. “Luego no les remuneran absolutamente nada. En el caso de los cigarros puros, por ejemplo, les pagan 80 céntimos de peso cubano y por lo tanto estamos hablando de una milésima de dólar lo que le pagan por cada puro, es decir, absolutamente nada. Pero, además, sufren violencia: el 50% de las mujeres declarantes nos dicen que sufren acoso sexual”, agrega. Muchas industrias afectadas El informe también aporta detalles sobre las industrias más afectadas por el trabajo forzoso. Según Larrondo, algunos de los productos llegan a muchos países, inclusive en Europa: “La industria del tabaco y los cigarros puros habanos, como las marcas Cohiba, Mareva, Bandera, se hacen en las prisiones de Cuba forzosamente. También el carbón vegetal que se exporta principalmente a Europa (España, Italia, Portugal, Grecia y Turquía), la caña de azúcar…”. “Muchísimas industrias, en realidad, utilizan la masa de 60.000 presos, supuestamente en trabajo correccional voluntario, pero en realidad es trabajo forzoso en las condiciones que os he explicado”, afirma Larrondo. Los testimonios cuentan que el 70% de los declarantes no firmó contrato laboral ni recibió documento alguno que regulara su vínculo, mientras más del 80% reportó graves deterioros físicos y psicológicos. En julio de 2024, un informe del Relator Especial sobre las formas contemporáneas de la esclavitud de la ONU ya advertía de la existencia de leyes y reglamentos nacionales permitiendo el trabajo obligatorio en las prisiones de Cuba. Prisoners Defenders denuncia que la exportación de carbón vegetal producido mediante el trabajo forzoso de presos constituye una violación directa de la Carta de Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea y del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos.

Part 2 of 2. Anomalous Health Incidents. AHI's. That is what the intelligence community refers to it as, but you likely know it as “The Havana Syndrome.” People reported feeling sick, dizzy, or even worse after experiencing a loud sonic-like wave in and around the U.S. Embassy in Cuba. The U.S. Intelligence Community says there is no evidence of any deliberate actions by a foreign actor. Is there more to the story?

In episode 217, host Galit Friedlander and guest Ana Rokafella Garcia (legendary b-girl, co-founder of Full Circle Productions, choreographer, filmmaker, and adjunct professor at The New School), dive into the history, evolution, and impact of hip-hop. From growing up in New York City during the fires, crack epidemic, and AIDS crisis to discovering her voice in cyphers and clubs, Rokafella shares how dance carved out a future for her. She reflects on commercialization, gender dynamics, and visibility in the scene, while urging today's dancers to stay grounded in the culture's foundations. The conversation also touches on breaking at the Olympics, the tension between competition and community, and why hip-hop's resilience continues to guide her work.

udyth Vary was once a promising science student who dreamed of finding a cure for cancer; this exposé is her account of how she strayed from a path of mainstream scholarship at the University of Florida to a life of espionage in New Orleans with Lee Harvey Oswald. In her narrative she offers extensive documentation on how she came to be a cancer expert at such a young age, the personalities who urged her to relocate to New Orleans, and what led to her involvement in the development of a biological weapon that Oswald was to smuggle into Cuba to eliminate Fidel Castro. Details on what she knew of Kennedy's impending assassination, her conversations with Oswald as late as two days before the killing, and her belief that Oswald was a deep-cover intelligence agent who was framed for an assassination he was actually trying to prevent, are also revealed. https://amzn.to/46jnUh8Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Cuban exile turned CIA operative Ricardo “Monkey” Morales justifies his moniker by orchestrating decades of chaos in the world of international espionage.The legend of Cuban exile turned US government operative Ricardo Morales Navarrete has been known in espionage circles for decades. Dubbed “The Monkey” for his disruptive and unpredictable escapades, Morales grabbed headlines for decades as tales of his bombings, arrests, assassination attempts (both those he executed and those he suffered), and testimony constructed a real-life spy adventure unlike anything brought to page or screen.His story delves into diverse aspects of American history, including our nation's conflict with Cuba, our anti-communism military support overseas, JFK's story before and after the Bay of Pigs, and the explosion of the illegal narcotics industry in 1970s Miami. Morales was a contract agent for the CIA and a valuable asset for the FBI; he even shared how he'd met Lee Harvey Oswald at a CIA camp in Florida before JFK's assassination. Morales's counterintelligence skills-for-hire were also a prized utility for Cuban drug kingpins in Miami, many of whom were discarded ex-CIA operatives.Monkey Morales blends James Bond, Rambo, and Scarface—a concoction of danger, politics, and family drama told in its entirety for the first time by authors Sean Oliver and Morales's son, Ricardo Morales, Jr.https://amzn.to/48fcltTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Two recent court rulings impact the rights of more than one and a half million immigrants to legally live and work in the United States, including here in Minnesota. On Friday, a federal appeals court ruled the Trump Administration can end what's called humanitarian parole for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. But another program is still in legal limbo. Earlier this month, a federal court blocked the administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Venezuelans in the United States. Michele Garnett McKenzie is an immigration lawyer and co-executive director of The Advocates for Human Rights and shared the legal implications with Minnesota Now host Nina Moini. And David Policard founded the organization called VANSE to support Haitians in Minnesota and joined the program to talk about what he's hearing from immigrants on this status.

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem a vacation to Cuba and all the things you need to know about what to expect.I haven't gone on a vacation in 20 years. In fact I really haven't gone on vacation outside of family vacations as kid. Even then we didn't really go to tropical places or islands. We mostly toured Florida and Tennessee. My dad loved road trips.So now in my 40's my girlfriend, who does do tropical vacations. Decided that we needed to get away and Cuba was place to go. We picked Cuba because the all inclusive prices were some of the best. They had a variety of resorts to pick from and the beaches are some of the best.It was my first time going and I had no expectations really. I'm also pretty laid back, as you can tell from the podcast. So it's pretty hard to ruin my good time. I have a pretty solid ability to find the fun and enjoyment in pretty much any situation.Having said that, there are some things that you should know before you head to Cuba for fun in the sun.Join the sesh and accompany me on the journey that was our Cuban vacation. This isn't your aunts vacation slide show. This is a raw and honest retelling of our trip from start to finish. There is a lot to laugh at and few dry heave moments, but over all you'll get an inside perspective of what a vacation to Cuba entails.Like, Share, leave a Comment, Subscribe and visit Tots420.com#whatyouneedtoknowaboutcuba #cubavacation #cuba #mytriptocuba #atriptocuba #allinclusiveresortsincuba #allinclusive #allinclusivevacation #allinclusiveresorts #comedypodcast #comedyfictionpodcast #cannabispodcast #cannabisandcomedy #weedhumor #comedy #podcast #cannabis #humor #insight #perspective #vacationrecap #thoughtsoffthestem #justinbarone #thoughtsoffthestempodcast #thoughtsoffthestemseshisode

Cuban exile turned CIA operative Ricardo “Monkey” Morales justifies his moniker by orchestrating decades of chaos in the world of international espionage.The legend of Cuban exile turned US government operative Ricardo Morales Navarrete has been known in espionage circles for decades. Dubbed “The Monkey” for his disruptive and unpredictable escapades, Morales grabbed headlines for decades as tales of his bombings, arrests, assassination attempts (both those he executed and those he suffered), and testimony constructed a real-life spy adventure unlike anything brought to page or screen.His story delves into diverse aspects of American history, including our nation's conflict with Cuba, our anti-communism military support overseas, JFK's story before and after the Bay of Pigs, and the explosion of the illegal narcotics industry in 1970s Miami. Morales was a contract agent for the CIA and a valuable asset for the FBI; he even shared how he'd met Lee Harvey Oswald at a CIA camp in Florida before JFK's assassination. Morales's counterintelligence skills-for-hire were also a prized utility for Cuban drug kingpins in Miami, many of whom were discarded ex-CIA operatives.Monkey Morales blends James Bond, Rambo, and Scarface—a concoction of danger, politics, and family drama told in its entirety for the first time by authors Sean Oliver and Morales's son, Ricardo Morales, Jr.https://amzn.to/48fcltTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

With the 125-year anniversary of the Galveston flood this year, a book about the events surrounding it?  Sounds great to me. Listen in to see why I think Jennifer L. Wright is a perfect choice to do it. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Loved this chat with Jennifer (always do!).  It was great to catch up, see what she's been working on, and learn all about her research into the Galveston flood.  Oh, and don't miss the book she recommended,  Isaac's Storm by Erik Larson.  Last Light over Galveston by Jennifer L. Wright Galveston, Texas. September 1900. Only months ago, Kathleen McDaniel returned from finishing school in Switzerland to her family home in New York's Hudson Valley with a future of promise and privilege set before her. But one horrific event shattered her picturesque life. Now she has fled as far as the train line and a pocketful of money would take her, finding refuge at the St. Mary's Orphan Asylum on Galveston Island, where she helps the nuns care for their young charges and prays her past will not find her. Despite her tenuous standing at the orphanage—and the grief and betrayal that drove her from home—Kathleen slowly begins to make friends. There is Emily, the novice nun she rooms with; Maggie, the tempestuous young girl who only bonds with Kathleen; and Matthew, a kind, handsome man recently employed by Isaac Cline at Galveston's office of the US Weather Bureau. Then in one fateful day, Kathleen's fragile new life begins to crack as it becomes clear that she can't run far enough to escape the reach of her former life. Meanwhile, as troubling news about a storm crossing the Gulf from Cuba swirls in the Weather Bureau offices, Matthew holds fast to Cline's belief that no hurricane can touch Galveston. But as darkness falls on the island, Kathleen must gather her courage and reach for a strength beyond her own if she—and those she loves—are to survive. Learn more about Jennifer L. Wright on her WEBSITE. and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub. Like to listen on the go? You can find Because Fiction Podcast at: Apple Castbox Google Play Libsyn RSS Spotify Amazon and more!

Légende de la musique en Afrique et bien au-delà, Cheikh Lô fête ce week-end ses 50 ans de carrière et ne compte pas s'arrêter en si bon chemin, puisque son nouveau disque Maame sera publié le 26 septembre. Mais avant cette sortie, le chanteur, batteur et guitariste sénégalais a accepté de revenir sur des anecdotes de sa vie artistique. RFI : Vous célébrez 50 ans de carrière, 50 ans d'exploration musicale. Vous êtes un éternel optimiste. Quel est votre secret pour garder cette fraîcheur ? Cheikh Lô : Je vais fêter mes 70 ans ! Mais actuellement, j'ai 26 ans. Je me suis rendu compte que la musique nourrit l'âme. Ça te tient. Tu ne vieillis pas. C'est un environnement. Je ne sais pas comment l'expliquer. Va par exemple aux îles des Caraïbes ou Cuba, tu trouveras des vieux chanteurs qui jouent jusqu'à présent, parce que leur musique est positive, immortelle. Vous êtes né à Bobo-Dioulasso, au Burkina Faso, de parents sénégalais en 1955. Comment est-ce que la musique vous a attrapé ? Au moment où je suis né, ce n'était pas le Burkina Faso, c'était la Haute-Volta. Je suis né là-bas. J'ai grandi là-bas. J'avais la chance, car à l'époque mon grand frère avait un tourne-disque. Il avait pratiquement toutes les musiques d'Afrique de l'Ouest avec les bagages et les ressources du Congo. Et en même temps, il y avait la radio à la maison. Donc, on écoutait beaucoup de Volta Jazz, l'orchestre de renommée à Bobo-Dioulasso qui était le plus grand orchestre de l'époque. Vous y avez commencé votre carrière en tant que batteur... À l'âge de 20 ans, j'avais des amis dans le même quartier qui avaient des guitares. On passait des heures là-bas. Un jour, à ma grande surprise, le bassiste même du Volta Jazz est venu. Il grattait vraiment bien. Il a commencé à jouer et j'ai commencé à chanter. Dans la foulée, vous allez passer une audition et intégrer le groupe... Pour une soirée. Mais avant que la salle soit pleine, j'avais un peu le stress. Mes pieds tremblaient un peu. J'avais chanté un morceau de Laba Sosseh qui s'appelle « Seyni ». Après avoir fini de chanter, le chef d'orchestre et saxophoniste Mustapha Maïga me dit : « Petit, tu es intégré dans le groupe à partir d'aujourd'hui. » Vous aimez tellement cette chanson que vous l'avez enregistrée des années plus tard. Votre carrière est immense. Vous avez joué dans des clubs, dans des hôtels. Vous avez été batteur dans des studios d'enregistrement en France. Mais arrêtons-nous sur un moment important, la sortie de l'album Né La Thiass. Ce n'est qu'après, en 1995, que j'ai réalisé l'album Né La Thiass en collaboration avec Youssou N'Dour. Né La Thiass, c'est la destinée. Youssou N'Dour était amoureux de ce morceau. Tout de suite, j'ai fait une tournée pour la promotion de cet album avec le groupe Né La Thiass, parce que je n'avais pas encore fondé mon propre groupe. Avec le Super Étoile de Youssou N'Dour, on a fait les répétitions à Dakar et puis une tournée européenne un mois plus tard. Quand les nouvelles générations viennent vous voir, que leur répondez-vous ? Qu'il ne faut jamais rien lâcher dans la vie ? Si ce sont des jeunes qui viennent, je leur dis : « Allez faire une formation ». Dans tout métier, pour savoir où tu poses les pieds. Tout est possible. Impossible n'est pas français, mais tout est possible aujourd'hui. Il faut y croire pour y arriver. Dernière question : dans un monde en tension, à quoi sert la musique ? À quoi sert votre musique ? La musique rapproche et même les montagnes. C'est un médicament. Cela adoucit les mœurs. La musique, elle est sacrée pour moi. On pourrait même dire que c'est une religion aussi. Il n'y a pas de mensonge en musique. À l'au-delà, nul ne peut mentir. Tu ne peux pas tricher avec la musique parce qu'il y a des conventions. C'est divin.

How a group of 80's Cuban misfits found rock-and-roll and created a revolution within a revolution, going into exile without ever leaving home.  Reporter Luis Trelles brings us the story of punk rock's arrival in Cuba and a small band of outsiders who sentenced themselves to death and set themselves free. We originally released this episode back in 2015 in a collaboration with Radio Ambulante, but the story is so fascinating (and, in many ways, still relevant) that we haven't stopped thinking about it. Special thanks to the bands VIH, Eskoria, Metamorfosis and Alio Die & Mariolina Zitta for the use of their music. Radio Ambulante launches their 15th season on September 30th!!Check it out, here!!

//The Wire//2300Z September 11, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN REMAINS AT LARGE AS THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. MULTIPLE HOAX SWATTING INCIDENTS REPORTED AT UNIVERSITIES AROUND THE NATION. CUBAN ILLEGAL ARRESTED AFTER BRUTAL MURDER AT DALLAS HOTEL. SHOOTING REPORTED AT US NAVAL ACADEMY IN ANNAPOLIS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Utah: The situation regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk continues to develop, with many new details coming to light overnight. At the moment, multiple individuals seem to be involved in this case in one way or another: One actual shooter, and many more persons that caused confusion during the initial reaction to the shooting. The individual identified as George Zinn was initially arrested after he verbally confessed to the crime, stating that he was the shooter. He screamed "I did it" and "shoot me" immediately as the shot was heard. This could have been a case of mental illness (as Zinn has a criminal history that reflects such and he was known to authorities for this kind of thing) or this could also have been an intentional act of diversion to allow the real shooter time to escape. Whatever the intent was, this did function as a diversionary tactic, and the shooter was able to egress from the area. Nevertheless, local reports state that Zinn was released from custody. Another unidentified individual was initially arrested at the scene as well, in possession of a pellet rifle. No further information regarding this individual's status at this time.Idaho: A fight broke out at a candlelight vigil at the Idaho Capitol (which was arranged to memorialize Charlie Kirk) when leftist activists began to interrupt proceedings. Several leftist demonstrators were removed after they attempted to gain entry to the crowd and scream obscenities during the vigil.Colorado: Yesterday afternoon a school shooting was reported at Evergreen High School near Denver. Local authorities state that Desmond Holly, a 16-year-old student at the school, shot two students before taking his own life.Texas: Yesterday afternoon a woman was beheaded at a motel in Dallas. Local authorities state that Yordanis Cobo-Martinez, an illegal migrant from Cuba, murdered his employer (Chandra Nagamallaiah) with a machete after a brief argument at the Downtown Suites Hotel. Cobo-Martinez was arrested at the scene.Maryland: This afternoon, an active shooter was reported at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. This is a developing situation at this time, but initial reports indicate that a former Midshipmen returned to the institution to conduct the attack. Early reports indicate as many as 1-3 casualties, however the scene is still locked down at this time. More details to follow as information becomes available.USA: This afternoon the recent wave of swatting calls flared up again, with several calls being made around Boston this afternoon. An active shooter situation was reported at the University of Massachusetts (UMass), which turned out to be a hoax. Several other locations around Boston were also host to swatting incidents, which also were hoaxes. This morning a bomb threat was called in to the DNC headquarters in Washington, which was also confirmed to be a hoax. Throughout the afternoon the University of Central Florida also reported a similar hoax being called in at their campus.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: When it comes to risk assessment and mitigation, making decisions based on details that are speculative is acceptable if time is of the essence, such as when a high-profile assassin is still on the loose. However, it would be wise to focus on the details that help with that assessment, rather than getting dragged down rabbit holes that eat up time that we don't have. Panicking helps no one, and though it is a challenging skill to develop when the general mood is that of extreme anger, rem

The 9/11 terrorism case has been in legal limbo for more than a decade and many doubt the case will ever make it to take to trial. That's partly because the defendants were tortured in secret CIA prisons, so there are ongoing legal fights over what evidence is admissible. Meanwhile, the accused men are at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and thousands of 9/11 family members wait for a resolution.NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer speaks with two young people whose fathers died in the World Trade Center attacks, as they debate whether the 9/11 defendants should get plea deals.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Monika Evstatieva and Michael Levitt, with audio engineering by Becky Brown.

Gerry Did It!: Gerry Hemming and the Assassination of JFK - Mr. Alan Jules WebermanMr. Alan Jules Weberman Gerry Patrick Hemming invented Oswald. He first met him at Subic Bay when they were both in the Marines and him and Oswald when Huk hunting together - sneaking off base a killing Philippine communist guerrillas. Having committed murders together Oswald trusted Hemming who introducted hi to Angleton who sent Oswald to the Soviet Union to give info needed to shoot down U-2 and sabotage Summit Talks. Oswald returned, a re-defector, a Hemming got the bright idea to use him in a plot to kill the President of the United States and blame it on Fidel Castro. He had Oswald doing all kinds of stuff prior to the assassination like shooting at his friend Walker, going to the Sportsdrome Range and more. He offered him twice what Oswald paid for his Mannlicher Carcano and had he bring it to the TSBD the day of the big event. I got to know Gerry Hemming and his family pretty well and believe me he was a piece of work. He was unpredictable. He served as a conscience for Frank Sturgis who was a psychopathic killer. Hemming wrote this incredible scenario, Oswald forms Fair Play for Cuba Committee, gets in a staged fight with anti-Castro types, goes to Mexico City to get a visa to travel to Cuba. If he had been granted the visa he would have just got back from Cuba before he did the hit and it would look like Fidel put him up to it. You got to understand that all these dudes knew Fidel and was part of his revolution only to find out he was a Communist and a traitor. Hemming was locked up by Castro. The named INTERPEN, his anti-Castro group is in Oswald's Address Book. Read The Oswald Code.https://www.amazon.com/Oswald-Code-Secrets-Oswalds-Address/dp/1490463674/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=theopprep-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=b1d840153a6129f116b64032578607a1&creativeASIN=1490463674Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this multi part series. This is Part - 5. Che Guevara's journey from Escambray mountains to Santa Clara and from there to Havana in the last phase of Cuba Revolution - is covered in this episode.

https://youtu.be/RmC98SKuF5k En este episodio final de la serie sobre la Embajada del Perú, revelamos la dimensión humana y simbólica de la crisis en La Habana en abril de 1980, centrándonos en las víctimas invisibles: los niños, los ciudadanos marcados, y los exiliados silenciosos. ¿Cómo respondió el régimen castrista? ¿Qué papel jugaron los medios, la música y los intelectuales? ¿Por qué fue este evento el preludio del Éxodo del Mariel? A través de testimonios, análisis político y reconstrucción histórica, entenderás cómo una crisis migratoria se transformó en una puesta en escena represiva, con actos de repudio, linchamientos morales y propaganda masiva. El control del relato, la criminalización del que huye y la manipulación de la identidad nacional son los ejes de esta investigación. Este episodio cierra la serie dedicada a la embajada del Perú, pero abre paso a lo que vendrá: EL ÉXODO DEL MARIEL. Si te interesan temas de historia cubana, derechos humanos y análisis crítico de regímenes autoritarios, este canal es para ti.

Ataxia is a neurologic symptom that refers to incoordination of voluntary movement, typically causing gait dysfunction and imbalance. Genetic testing and counseling can be used to identify the type of ataxia and to assess the risk for unaffected family members. In this episode, Katie Grouse, MD, FAAN, speaks with Theresa A. Zesiewicz, MD, FAAN, author of the article “Ataxia” in the Continuum® August 2025 Movement Disorders issue. Dr. Grouse is a Continuum® Audio interviewer and a clinical assistant professor at the University of California San Francisco in San Francisco, California. Dr. Zesiewicz is a professor of neurology and director at the University of South Florida Ataxia Research Center, and the medical director at the University of South Florida Movement Disorders Neuromodulation Center at the University of South Florida and at the James A. Haley Veteran's Hospital in Tampa, Florida.

Dr Grouse: This is Dr Katie Grouse. Today I'm interviewing Dr Theresa Zesiewicz about her article on ataxia, which appears in the August 2025 Continuum issue on movement disorders. Welcome to the podcast, and please introduce yourself to our audience.  Dr Zesiewicz: Well, thank you, Dr Grouse. I'm Dr Theresa Zesiewicz, otherwise known as Dr Z, and I'm happy to be here. Dr Grouse: I have to say, I really enjoyed reading your article. It was a really great refresher for myself as a general neurologist on the topic of ataxia and a really great reminder on a great framework to approach diagnosis and management. But I wanted to start off by asking what you feel is the key message that you hope our listeners will take away from reading your article. Dr Zesiewicz: Yes, so, thanks. I think one of the key messages is that there has been an explosion and renaissance of genetic testing in the past 10 years that has really revolutionized the field of ataxia and has made diagnosis easier for us, more manageable, and hopefully will lead to treatments in the future. So, I think that's a major step forward for our field in terms of genetic techniques over the last 10 years, and even over the last 30 years. There's just been so many diseases that have been identified genetically. So, I think that's a really important take-home message. The other take-home message is that the first drug to treat Friedreich's ataxia, called omaveloxolone, came about about two years ago. This was also a really landmark discovery. As you know, a lot of these ataxias are very difficult to treat. Dr Grouse: Now pivoting back to thinking about the approach to diagnosis of ataxia, how does the timeline of the onset of ataxia symptoms inform your approach? Dr Zesiewicz: The timeline is important because ataxia can be acute, subacute or chronic in nature. And the timeline is important because, if it's acute, it may mean that the ataxia took place over seconds to hours. This may mean a toxic problem or a hypoxic problem. Whereas a chronic ataxia can occur over many years, and that can inform more of a neurodegenerative or more of a genetic etiology. So, taking a very detailed history on the patient is very important. Sometimes I ask them, what is the last time you remember that you walked normal? And that can be a wedding, that can be a graduation. Just some timeline, some point, that the patient actually walked correctly before they remember having to hold onto a railing or taking extra steps to make sure that they didn't fall down, that they didn't have imbalance. That sometimes that's a good way to ask the patient when is the last time they had a problem. And they can help you to try to figure out how long these symptoms have been going on. Dr Grouse: I really appreciate that advice. I will say that I agree, it can sometimes be really hard to get patients to really think back to when they really started to notice something was different. So, I like the idea of referencing back to a big event that may be more memorable to them. Now, given that framework of, you know, thinking through the timeline, could you walk us through your approach to the evaluation of a patient who presents to your clinic with that balance difficulties once you've established that? Dr Zesiewicz: Sure. So, the first thing is to determine whether the patient truly has ataxia. So, do they have imbalance? Do they have a wide base gait? That's very important because patients come in frequently to your clinic and they'll have balance problems, but they can have knee issues or hip issues, neuropathy, something like that. And sometimes what we say to the residents and the students is, usually ataxia or cerebellar symptoms go together with other problems, like ocular problems are really common in cerebellar syndromes. Or dysmetria, pass pointing, speech disorder like dysarthria. So, not only do you need to look at the gait, but you should look at the other symptoms surrounding the gait to see if you think that the patient actually has a cerebellar syndrome. Or do they have something like a vestibular ataxia which would have more vertigo? Or do they have a sensory ataxia, which would occur if a person closes his eyes or has more ataxia when he or she is in the dark? So, you have to think about what you're looking at is the cerebellar syndrome. And then once we look to see if the patient truly has a cerebellar syndrome, then we look at the age, we look at---as you said before, the timeline. Is this acute, subacute, or chronic? And usually I think of ataxia as falling into three categories. It's either acquired, it's either hereditary, or it's neurodegenerative. It can be hereditary. And if it's not hereditary, is it acquired, or is it something like a multiple system atrophy or a parkinsonism or something like that? So, we try to put that together and start to narrow down on the diagnosis, thinking about those parameters. Dr Grouse: That's really a helpful way to think through it. And it is true, it can get very complex when patients come in with balance difficulties. There's so many things you need to think about, but that is a great way to think about it. Of course, we know that most people who come in to the Movements Disorders clinic are getting MRI scans of their brains. But I'm curious, in which cases of patients with cerebellar ataxia do you find the MRI to be particularly helpful in the diagnosis? Dr Zesiewicz: So, an MRI can be very important. Not always, but- so, something like multiple system atrophy type C where you may see a hot cross bun sign or a pontine hyperintensity on the T2-weighted image, that would be helpful. But of course, that doesn't make the diagnosis. It's something that may help you with the diagnosis. In FXTAS, which is fragile X tremor/ataxia syndrome, the patient may have the middle cerebellar peduncle sign or the symmetric hyperintensity in the middle cerebellar peduncles, which is often visible but not always. Something like Wernicke's, where you see an abnormality of the mammillary bodies. Wilson's disease, which is quite rare, T2-weighted image may show hyperintensities in the putamen in something like Wilson's disease. Those are the main MRI abnormalities, I think, with ataxia. And then we look at the cerebellum itself. I mean, that seems self-evident, but if you look at a sagittal section of the MRI and you see just a really significant atrophy of the cerebellum, that's going to help you determine whether you really have a cerebellar syndrome. Dr Grouse: That's really encouraging to hear a good message for all of us who sometimes feel like maybe we're missing something. It's good to know that information can always come up down the line to make things more clear. Your article does a great review of spinal cerebellar ataxia, but I found it interesting learning about the more recently described syndrome of SCA 27B. Would you mind telling us more about that and other really common forms of SCA that's good to keep in mind? Dr Zesiewicz: Sure. So, there are now 49 types of spinal cerebellar ataxia that have been identified. The most common are the polyglutamine repeat diseases: so, spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 or type 2, type 6, are probably the most common. One of the most recent spinocerebellar ataxias to be genetically identified and clinically identified is spinocerebellar ataxia 27B. This is caused by a GAA expansion repeat in the first intron of the fibroblast growth factor on chromosome 13. And the symptoms do include ataxia, eye problems, downbeat nystagmus, other nystagmus, vertical, and diplopia. It appears to be a more common form of adult-onset ataxia, and probably more common than was originally thought. It may account for a substantial number of ataxias, like, a substantial percentage of ataxias that we didn't know about. So, this was really a amazing discovery on SCA 27B. Dr Grouse: Now a lot of us I think feel a little anxious when we think about genetic testing for ataxia simply because there's so many forms, things are changing quickly. Do you have a rule of thumb or a kind of a framework that we can think of as we approach how we should be thinking about getting genetic testing for the subset of patients? Dr Zesiewicz: Sure. And I think that this is where age comes into play a lot. So, if you have a child who's 10, 11, or 12 who's having balance problems in the schoolyard, does not have a history of ataxia in the family, the teachers are telling you that the child is not running correctly, they're having problems with physical education, that is someone who you would think about testing for Friedreich's ataxia. A preteen or a child, that would be one thing that would be important to test. When you talk to your patient, it's important to really take a detailed family history. Not just mom or dad, but ethnicity, grandparents, etc. And sometimes, once in a while, you come up with a known spinal cerebellar ataxia. Then you can just test for that. So, if a person is from Portugal or has Portugal background and they have ataxia and the parents had ataxia, you would think of spinal cerebellar ataxia type 3. Or if they're Brazilian, or if the person is from a certain area of Cuba and mom and dad had ataxia and that person has ataxia, you would think of spinal cerebellar ataxia type 2. Or if a person has ataxia and their parent had blindness or visual problems, you may be more likely to think of spinal cerebellar ataxia type 7, for example. If they have that---either they have a known genetic cause in in the family, first degree family, or they come from an area of the world in which we can pinpoint what type we think it is---you can go ahead and get those tests. If not, you can take an ataxia comprehensive panel. Many times now, if you take the panel and the panel is negative, it will reflex to the whole exome gene sequencing, where we're finding really unusual and more rare types of ataxia, which are very interesting. Spinal cerebellar ataxia type 32, spinal cerebellar ataxia type 36, I had a spinal cerebellar ataxia type 15. So, I think you should start with the age, then the family history, then where the person is from. And then, if none of those work out, you can get a comprehensive panel, and then go on to whole exome gene sequencing. Dr Grouse: That's really, really useful. Thank you so much for breaking that down in a really simple way that a lot of us can take with us. Pivoting a little bit now back towards different types of acquired ataxias, what are some typical lab tests that you recommend for that type of workup? Dr Zesiewicz: Again, if there's no genetic history and the person does not appear to have a neurodegenerative disease, we do test for acquired ataxias. Acquired ataxias can be complex. Many times, they are in the autoimmune family. So, what we start with are just basic labs like a CBC or a CMP, but then we tried to look at some of the other abnormalities that could cause ataxia. So, celiac disease, stiff person syndrome. So, you would look at anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies, Hashimoto's---so, antithyroglobulin antibodies or antithyroperoxidase antibodies would be helpful. You know, in a case of where the patients may have an underlying neoplasm, maybe even a paraneoplastic workup, such as an anti-Hu, anti-Yo, anti-Ri. A person has breast cancer, for example, you may want to take a paraneoplastic panel. I've been getting more of the anti-autoimmune encephalitis panels in some cases, that were- that are very interesting. And then, you know, things that sometimes we forget now like the syphilis test, thyroid-stimulating test, take a B12 and folate, for example. That would be important. Those are some of the labs. We just have on our electronic chart a group of acquired labs for ataxia. If we can't find any other reason, we just go ahead and try to get those. Dr Grouse: Now, I'm curious what you think is the most challenging aspect of diagnosing a patient with cerebellar ataxia? Dr Zesiewicz: So, for those of us who see many of these patients a day, some of the hardest patients are the ones that---regardless of the workup that we do, we've narrowed it down, it's not hereditary. You know, they've been through the whole exome gene sequencing and we've done the acquired ataxia workup. It doesn't appear to be that. And then we've looked for parkinsonism and neurodegenerative diseases, and it doesn't appear to be that either; like, the alpha-synuclein will be negative. Those are the toughest patients, where we think we've done everything and we still don't have the answer. So, I've had patients in whom I've taken care of family members years and years ago, they had a presumed diagnosis, and later on I've seen their children or other family members. And with the advent of the genetic tests that we have, like whole exome gene sequencing, we have now been able to give the patient and the family a definitive diagnosis that they didn't have 25 years ago. So, I would say don't give up hope. Retesting is important, and as science continues and we get more information and we make more landmark discoveries in genetics, you may be better able to diagnose the patient. Dr Grouse: I was wondering if you had any recommendations regarding either some tips and tricks, some pearls of wisdom you can impart to us regarding the work of ataxia, or conversely, any big pitfalls that you can help us avoid? I would love to hear about it. Dr Zesiewicz: Yeah, there's no easy way to treat or diagnose ataxia patients. I've always felt that the more patients you see- and sounds easy, but the more patients you see, the better you're going to become at it, and eventually things are going to fall into place. You'll begin to see similarities in patients, etc. I think it's important not only to make sure that a person has ataxia, but again, look at the other signs and symptoms that may point to ataxia that you'll see in a cerebellar syndrome. I think it's important to do a full neuroexam. If a person has spasticity, that may point you more towards a certain type of ataxia than if a person has no reflexes, for example, that we see in Friedreich's ataxia. Some of the ocular findings are very interesting as well. It's important to know if a person has a tremor. I've seen several Wilson's disease cases in my life with ataxia. They're very important. I think a full neuroexam and also a very detailed history would be very helpful. Dr Grouse: Tell us about some promising developments in the diagnosis and management of ataxia that we should be on the lookout for. Dr Zesiewicz: The first drug for Friedreich's ataxia was FDA-approved two years ago, which was an NRF2 activator, which was extremely exciting and promising. There are also several medications that are now in front of the FDA that may also be very promising and have gone through long clinical trials. There's a medication that's related to riluzole, which is a medication used for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, that has been through about seven years of testing. That is before the FDA as well for spinal cerebellar ataxia. Friedreich's ataxia has now completed the first cardiac gene therapy program with AAV vectors, which- we're waiting for full results, but that's a cardiac test. But I would assume that in the future, neurological gene therapy is not far behind if we've already done cardiac gene therapy and Friedreich's ataxia. So, you know, some of these AAV vector-based genetic therapies may be very helpful, as well as ASO, antisense oligonucleotides, for example. And I think in the future, other things to think about are the CRISPR/Cas9 technology for potential treatment of ataxia. It is a very exciting time, and some major promising therapies have been realized in the past 2 to 3 years. Dr Grouse: Well, that's really exciting, and we'll all look forward to seeing these becoming more clinically applicable in the future. So, thank you so much for coming to talk with us today. Dr Zesiewicz: Thank you. Dr Grouse: Again, today I've been interviewing Dr Theresa Zesiewicz about her article on ataxia, which appears in the August 2025 Continuum issue on movement disorders.

President Donald Trump is taking the fight to the cartel terrorist organizations. Leftists are mad about it. Members of Congress met with victims of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking. Let's see if Nancy Mace can make it about her. Zohran Mamdani is promising free stuff to everyone. It hasn't worked before. We've got examples. Cuba has been a talking point for the socialist left for a long time, including celebrities. There's a problem with that, though. Socialist Cuba sucks.Gun Show Loophole Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEihkjKNhN8&t=4sGUEST: Josh FirestineLink to today's sources: https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/sources-september-3-2025Buy the OG Mug Club Mug on Crowder Shop now! https://crowdershop.com/products/og-mug-club-mugLet my sponsor American Financing help you regain control of your finances.
