En 2016, un fuerte terremoto sacudió con violencia la provincia de Manabí, en Ecuador, dejando comunidades enteras que debieron reconstruir desde cero. Una década después, la reconstrucción sigue incompleta en muchas zonas, y persisten deudas pendientes; pero también existen nuevas normas técnicas y comunidades que aprendieron, con dolor, la importancia de exigir que se cumplan. Dios permite que aprendamos de la dificultad sin desperdiciar ni un solo momento del dolor ya atravesado. El Señor Jesús enseñó que las pruebas producen paciencia y la paciencia, a su vez, un carácter probado capaz de sostener la esperanza incluso en circunstancias futuras aún desconocidas para nosotros. Tal vez atraviesas actualmente una dificultad de la que todavía no ves ningún aprendizaje claro ni propósito evidente. Confía en que Dios, con el tiempo necesario, revelará qué parte de este proceso te preparará para sostener a otros más adelante. Ninguna lección aprendida en la tormenta se desperdicia. La Biblia dice en Santiago 1:2-3: "Hermanos míos, tened por sumo gozo cuando os halléis en diversas pruebas, sabiendo que la prueba de vuestra fe produce paciencia". (RV1960).

“Sometimes we confuse activity with impact. And here I think the way we measure results should be different. How many lives has the UN saved? How many people has the UN helped to live out of poverty? How many people have we prevented from conflict? How many people were we able to support?” The BBC's Anne Soy speaks to María Fernanda Espinosa, Ecuador's former foreign minister and a candidate to become the first woman secretary general of the United Nations. She is seeking the role at a time when the UN faces severe financial pressure, falling international aid budgets and questions about its influence over major conflicts. Espinosa believes the organisation remains essential, but warns that it could become irrelevant unless it changes how it works. She describes the choice facing the UN as “reform, transform or die”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 8-21-2026Anatol Lieven discusses the war in Ukraine, highlighting Ukrainian drone and missile attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure like Black Sea resorts and a commercial center. He carefully examines the psychological impact of these infrastructure strikes, noting that while they aim to weaken Russian morale, history shows such strategies rarely succeed. Lieven describes growing domestic resentment over rampant government corruption, which threatens Western aid and has already led to several high-profile dismissals. Finally, he analyzes global energy and food security threats caused by port and refinery strikes, alongside Prime Minister Andy Burnham's struggle to balance costly military commitments with domestic recovery. (1)Peter Berkowitz reflects on the 30th anniversary of Alan Sokal's famous academic hoax, which exposed the intellectual decline within higher education humanities. Berkowitz critiques contemporary humanities departments for their ideological hypocrisy: professors claim objective truth is subjective while simultaneously insisting that their own political claims are absolute truths. He references a report from Vanderbilt and Washington University confirming that significant contingents of humanities faculty in core disciplines subordinate scholarship to political activism. Finally, Berkowitz notes that this progressive ideological capture is concentrated among college-educated voters in elite university towns, warning that treating education as political indoctrination severely perverts liberal education. (2)Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses the alarming rise of authoritarianism in Mexico under President Claudia Sheinbaum and her ruling party, Morena. O'Grady details how the ruling party has systematically consolidated power by taking control of independent electoral bodies, tribunals, regulatory commissions, and the judiciary through politicized popular elections. She warns that Morena's latest effort targets television and radio—the primary sources of information for most Mexican citizens—to effectively censor critical independent media. While O'Grady deeply laments the weak leadership of the official political opposition, she finds hope in the strong pushback and widespread mobilization of Mexican civil society against these state controls. (3)Jonathan Miltimore discusses the ongoing imprisonment of 79-year-old pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong, calling it the world's most overlooked story. Miltimore expresses his deep disappointment that Donald Trumpfailed to raise Lai's case publicly during his Beijing trip, instead repeating CCP rhetoric that Lai caused "bedlam." He describes Lai's deteriorating health inside his tiny, unventilated six-foot cell and urges President Trump to pressure Xi Jinping during his upcoming U.S. visit. Miltimore notes that even certain CCP factions want Lai released to avoid international outrage if he dies in prison, emphasizing that Lai is fully prepared for potential martyrdom. (4)Veronique de Rugy critiques California Representative Ro Khanna's proposal for a "one-time" 5% wealth tax on billionaires. De Rugy explains that several different European countries largely abandoned wealth taxes because they are administratively difficult, generate little revenue, and cause severe economic distortions. Highlighting a debate between Khanna and Mark Cuban, she details how taxing paper wealth completely ignores true liquidity, forcing entrepreneurs to sell shares of private companies or borrow against volatile collateral. De Rugy warns that wealth taxes inevitably expand to target middle-class citizens, ultimately costing states far more in lost income taxes than they retrieve from the wealthy. (5)Rohan Naidu discusses the groundbreaking discovery of "black hole stars" at cosmic dawn using the James Webb Space Telescope. Naidu explains that these infant objects appear as mysterious "little red dots" but possess hybrid properties of both highly luminous black holes and stars. He explains how a young black hole surrounded by dense hydrogen gas absorbs blue and green light, creating a signature "Balmer break" resembling the star Vega. Naidu outlines future research, including finding atmospheric chemical fingerprints like water, and using the newly proposed Celestemission alongside ground telescopes to directly image swirling gas feeding these infant black holes. (6)James M. Scott traces the dramatic, complex final months of World War II in the Pacific. Scott details how Secretary of War Henry Stimson briefed Truman in depth on the secret atomic bomb, and praises General Leslie Groves' masterful management of the Manhattan Project's secret cities. He describes Japan's political division: Emperor Hirohito secretly sought peace while militarists prepared a fanatical defense of Kyushu to force better terms. Scott explains the intense debate over demanding unconditional surrender versus preserving the Japanese monarchy, concluding with the Trinitytest, Potsdam Conference, and Truman's hope that the bomb's shock value would force surrender. (7)Evan Ellis analyzes key regional political and security developments in Latin America. Ellis discusses EcuadorianPresident Daniel Noboa's visit to China to secure security, trade, and economic assistance, and explains how historical visa-free policies turned Ecuador into a major transit corridor for Chinese migrants entering the US. He details Bolivia's ongoing political instability and the dangerous scandals involving Evo Morales. Ellis also covers Chile's border enforcement efforts, Colombia's return to aggressive military operations against cartels following a major earthquake, and the stalled democratic transitions in Venezuela and Nicaragua, where regimes rely on brutal repression and illicit economies to hold power. (8)This fuller eight-file version supersedes the earlier seven-file draft — de Rugy now sits at (5) and everything falls in place without gaps. The Celeste mission appears again in segment 6; the source calls it "newly proposed," which explains why I couldn't verify it earlier, so I've let it stand.

By the end of this century, half of the world's 7,000 languages could be gone. On this episode of Unpacked, host Aislyn Greene hands the mic to travel writer Lucy Kehoe for a conversation about saving language with journalist Sophia Smith Galer, author of the new book How to Kill a Language. For Sophia, saving language is personal: her Italian grandmother spoke Emilian, one of Italy's Indigenous tongues, and it's quietly slipping away. To understand what we lose when a language dies, Sophia traveled from the mountains of Oman to the hills of California, seeking out endangered languages and the communities fighting—or grieving—for them. She and Lucy get into why these languages matter to every traveler, how language and landscape are woven together, and what it means to travel thoughtfully to a place whose language is at risk—beyond learning a few phrases. It's a conversation about treating language as part of the culture we come to experience, and about meeting it with curiosity and respect rather than as something quaint. THIS WEEK'S GUESTS Sophia Smith Galer is an award-winning journalist and author whose new book, How to Kill a Language, traces the forces—colonialism, globalization, migration, and war—pushing thousands of the world's languages toward extinction. Multilingual in English, Spanish, Italian, and Arabic, she reported it across California, Oman, Ghana, Ecuador, Italy, and Greece, meeting speakers of critically endangered languages in person to capture not only their words but their connection to a place. Lucy Kehoe is a London-based journalist who covers travel, food, and the environment, with a particular interest in how people relate to landscape and place. IN THIS EPISODE The statistic that stopped us cold: by 2100, up to half of the world's 7,000 languages could vanish, and the rate of loss is expected to triple over the next 40 years Why a language is far more than a way to order coffee—Sophia's case that it holds the past, present, and future of a people connected to a place, from Oman's Jibbali (with distinct words for animal versus human shelter) to a California tribe down to 12 adult speakers What it really asks of travelers: not memorizing phrases, but bringing respect and dignity to an endangered language, and asking who profits from "language tourism" and whether speaker communities are truly part of it Where to find language on the road—Planet Word in Washington, D.C., the Armenian alphabet monument outside Yerevan, a Ukrainian language tour in Kyiv, and Oman's frankincense heritage experience The range of feelings Sophia found among speakers themselves—pride, determination, and quiet resignation—and why she believes the fate of each endangered language belongs to its own community to decide 00:00:00 A Grandmother's Vanishing Tongue 00:04:00 Why Endangered Languages Matters 00:06:00 Words Shaped by Place 00:10:00 Tourism Done Respectfully 00:16:00 California's Last Speakers 00:24:00 Ladino, Museums, and Hope LINKS & RESOURCES How to Kill a Language by Sophia Smith Galer — buy on Bookshop Sophia Smith Galer's website Lucy Kehoe's website Planet Word, the language museum in Washington, D.C.

In this Ask the Expert episode, Lon Shaver, President of Silvercorp Metals, joins Craig Hemke for Sprott Money to discuss the silver price, gold price, mining stocks, supply constraints, production costs, and what could drive the next move in precious metals. Silver remains above historically significant levels, mining supply is difficult to expand, and industrial demand continues to support the long-term outlook. Lon explains why today's price of silver remains encouraging despite trading below earlier highs, why new mines can take many years to reach production, and how limited new supply could affect the silver market. He also discusses Silvercorp Metals' low-cost production, expansion plans in China, Ecuador and Kyrgyzstan, drilling programs, and the company's exposure to silver.
Could you actually retire abroad on one Social Security check?The average retired American worker receives about $2,081 a month from Social Security. In many U.S. cities, that may barely cover the basics. But take that same check abroad and suddenly the retirement math can look dramatically different.The catch? Cheap doesn't automatically mean retire-able.A city might have $300 rent, fabulous food and gorgeous weather, but if you can't qualify for legal residency, access quality healthcare or comfortably live there as an LGBTQ+ person, you haven't found a retirement destination. You've found a vacation.In this episode of Queer Money®, we rank five gay-friendly cities where an average Social Security benefit could potentially support a modest retirement, while also considering LGBTQ+ acceptance and whether there's a realistic path to legal residency.Our countdown takes us from Medellín, Colombia, to Coimbra, Portugal, Montevideo, Uruguay, Cuenca, Ecuador, and finally, Chiang Mai, Thailand.And some of the numbers may have you checking airfare before the episode is over.

“Each one of these is individually a crime scene, and the United States is the responsible actor.” — John Walsh With America preoccupied (as always) with war in the Middle East, another kind of killing is taking place at its back door. Since early September of last year, the United States military has bombed 67 small boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific and assassinated 221 supposed “narco-terrorists.” The first full account of this deadly war is the Washington Office on Latin America's (WOLA) Killing Spree: Extrajudicial Executions in the U.S. Boat Strike Campaign, a 27,000-word report by Adam Isacson, WOLA's director for defense oversight, and John Walsh, its director for drug policy. Under U.S. and international law, this is murder, Isacson and Walsh conclude about a policy they see as premeditated killing of civilians who pose no immediate threat to the United States. Its official name is Operation Southern Spear, designed as a war on terror by an inner circle of Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio. So the Donroe Doctrine is really a broader MAGA embrace of extra-judicial killings. Trump might be able to point to Latin America on a map, but this official US policy is about far more than geography. And it even fails as drug policy. The boat strikes target Andean cocaine while fentanyl (produced in Mexico from Chinese synthetics) drives the American epidemic. As Isacson puts it, bombing these boats is like murdering a street-corner dealer and declaring the entire drug problem solved. The WOLA report's darkest implication is domestic. The Justice Department memo underpinning the campaign amounts, Walsh argues, to an open license to kill. For an administration that talks obsessively about the enemy within, the boat strikes might be a dress rehearsal. Graham Greene's quiet Americans have metastasized into the deadly Americans. Only this time they're filming their own atrocities and boasting about them on social media. The assassination of that street-corner dealer in Peru might be a dress rehearsal for an anti-ICE activist in Minnesota. America's southern back porch threatens to become its northern front door. Five Takeaways • 63 Crime Scenes. The numbers, from WOLA's strike-by-strike tracker: 63 attacks on 67 boats since September 2, 2025; 221 people killed; three known survivors. The legal analysis is not complicated: Title 18, Section 1111 of the U.S. Code prohibits murder, applies on the high seas, and premeditated killing of civilians with no self-defense justification is precisely what it forbids — no due process, no evidence offered, and in many cases no idea who was aboard. Each announcement is a near-identical Southern Command tweet, which is exactly what makes the campaign insidious: with no news handle, coverage shrinks to 150 words in the AP, and a democracy grows numb to what Walsh insists on calling 63 individual crime scenes with the United States as the responsible actor.• Narcoterrorism: Two Wars Welded Together. Operation Southern Spear fuses the post-9/11 war on terror with the sixty-year war on drugs: organized-crime groups redefined as the equivalent of al-Qaeda and ISIS, a secret list of two dozen designated organizations, and Stephen Miller declaring that only the military can fight drug trafficking. The policy's continuity is real — supply control has been an American staple since Reagan — but its rupture is stark: Marco Rubio's own justification admitted that decades of interdiction never worked, so the administration would skip the intermediary steps and simply kill. The December 2025 National Security Strategy makes Latin America a first-tier priority for the first time in decades — the Donroe Doctrine, which Andrew reads as a broader MAGA embrace of extra-judicial killings — with Venezuela as proof of concept and “joint operations” as the export: Mexico refused, Ecuador agreed, and newly elected far-right governments in Colombia and Peru may soon invite American special forces to kick in doors.• The Wrong War on the Wrong Economy. Both authors concede the underlying problem is real: organized crime kills, displaces, extorts everyone from street peddlers to five-star restaurants, and buys governments wholesale. But the strikes fail on their own terms. They target Andean cocaine while fentanyl — compact, potent, made in Mexico from Chinese precursors — drives American overdose deaths. Drugs are one income stream among many: at $4,000-an-ounce gold, illegal mining that poisons the Amazon may pay better, alongside extortion, kidnapping, and migrant smuggling. And the military is the wrong tool: America's supermax already holds the drug lords, the Medellín and Cali cartels were obliterated decades ago, and there is more coca than ever — because organized crime, unlike an insurgency, doesn't want to fight the state. It wants to corrupt it. Killing suspects also destroys the evidence a real case would need — ludicrous, as Walsh puts it, as drug policy.• Who Were the 221? Nobody knows how many were innocent — which is itself the scandal. From the few dozen cases WOLA could document, the dead include fishermen, migrants, human-trafficking victims, and kids paid a couple hundred dollars to run drugs or fuel one time — the lowest links in the chain, in coastal regions where boats are the only roads and the same vessel carries passengers one day and a small cargo the next. (Isacson has ridden boats exactly like the ones in the videos.) One victim was a genuinely dirty local drug boss; most were nothing of the kind. The reckoning has begun at the edges: two Trinidadian families are suing the United States in Boston federal court, a Colombian fisherman's family has gone to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and an Ecuadorian prosecutor who investigated the strikes has been assassinated.• Colombia or Chicago. The report's most chilling section reads the Justice Department's legal memo as an open license to kill: a secret list, membership decided by the president, no limiting factor — so that, as Walsh warns, “it doesn't matter if you're in Colombia or Chicago.” For an administration that speaks constantly of the enemy from within — and drummed the theme into the assembled brass at Quantico — the high seas look like a rehearsal space. Accountability remains possible: Tim Kaine is reading every after-action report, boat-flag states could take Trump officials to the International Criminal Court, and travel could get complicated for the inner circle. WOLA's fear isn't retribution but lawfare — never, as Isacson says, a reason to be silent. Graham Greene's quiet Americans have metastasized into the deadly Americans, filming their own atrocities and boasting on social media. The assassination of a street-corner dealer in Peru might be a dress rehearsal for an anti-ICE activist in Minnesota: America's southern back porch threatens to become its northern front door.

Un violento terremoto di magnitudo 7.4 ha colpito la Colombia occidentale e il dipartimento del Chocó: la scossa del 10 agosto 2026, durata 4 minuti, ha provocato gravi danni e oltre 130 morti, 500 feriti e migliaia di dispersi sotto le macerie. L'epicentro, cioè il punto in superficie proiettato sopra la rottura, è stato localizzato a est del comune di San José del Palmar, ma il sisma è stato avvertito anche a Bogotá, Cali, Pereira, Manizales, Medellín e addirittura in Ecuador e a Panama. L'ipocentro, invece, si trovava a ben 110 km di profondità. Ma com'è possibile che un sisma così profondo abbia causato una simile devastazione in superficie? È collegato a quello del Venezuela? Ed è vero che d'estate ci sono più terremoti? In questo video analizziamo nel dettaglio la geologia della regione per capire cos'è successo durante la scossa più forte degli ultimi 10 anni, spiegando le forze tettoniche in gioco.

#ElGranMusical | Hugo Yepes. ¿Existe alto riesgo de terremoto en Ecuador? by FM Mundo 98.1
Today's Headlines: Trump signed an executive order overriding the CDC's vaccine schedule authority, requiring the MMR vaccine to be broken into three separate shots at separate visits — while claiming he broke up his own kids' vaccines into five stops because he's "seen proof" that vaccines cause autism, which he described as a soda bottle poured into a child's body. Trump also admitted there was "some contractor error" with the reflecting pool while continuing to accuse a former Olympian of vandalism even though charges were dropped, and appointed a Project 2025 co-author as inspector general of the department that will review the reflecting pool renovation. On the tech beat, Meta and TikTok lost their attempt to dismiss thousands of lawsuits claiming their platforms are deliberately addictive and harmful to teenagers. Mark Zuckerberg responded to the cultural moment by releasing a 6,500-word AI manifesto arguing everyone's concerns are overblown and America needs to beat China anyway. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders sent a strongly worded letter urging OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta to pause AI development, citing all three companies reporting their own models going rogue in recent weeks and a petition signed by over 1,200 AI employees calling for an international safety framework. In scary weather news, July 2026 was the hottest month ever recorded in the United States going back to 1895, with NOAA forecasting more of the same through August. Finally, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake — the strongest recorded in the 21st century — hit Colombia and Ecuador, killing at least 111 people with many still missing.

Nancy Verdezoto-Feijoo spent 15 years as a reporter and editor in Ecuador before landing in Manitoba as marketing manager at IHT Group, which builds heating, cooling, and lighting systems for the swine industry. She argues the newsroom taught her the one skill industrial marketers most often skip: listen before you speak. Her buyers are technical, deeply experienced, and allergic to buzzwords, and they talk to each other, which means a single bad experience travels faster than any campaign. Nancy walks Jeff and Carman through months-long buying cycles, why proof beats claims, and why she treats marketing as a growth function rather than a support function.

La estrategia de mano dura del presidente ecuatoriano Daniel Noboa no combate el origen del problema del crimen organizado, estiman analistas. Consideran que el tema de la violencia debe tratarse de manera integral para evitar que siguen produciéndose casos como el registrado la semana pasada. El hallazgo de ocho cadáveres desmembrados en dos fosas comunes en una mina ilegal de oro en el sur de Ecuador no es el primero ni el único caso que alarma sobre la violenta situación que arrastra el país en su lucha contra el crimen organizado. Para la profesora Carla Álvarez, politóloga investigadora y experta en seguridad ciudadana, violencia y crimen organizado en Ecuador por la Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO), este último macabro hallazgo responde a la pedagogía de la violencia que se está instaurando en el país. "El punto es que hay varios hallazgos ya de fosas comunes y de cuerpos calcinados con signos de tortura en zonas donde se ejerce la minería ilegal. Esto nos quiere decir que el país está vuelto en este ciclo de violencia y que lamentable estas escenas, estos hechos, estos hallazgos, se están volviendo más cotidianos", dice. La investigadora advierte sobre la instalación de una pedagogía de la violencia que se observa en diferentes áreas de la criminalidad. "Se ve que hay una pedagogía de la violencia que está siendo utilizada por la disputa territorial de estas organizaciones que compiten por los yacimientos de oro, por dominar la logística de la salida de la droga. Entonces es una pedagogía de la violencia que se está instaurando en el país y este hallazgo lo muestra así". Respecto a la política de mano dura aplicada por el presidente Daniel Noboa desde que en noviembre de 2023 asumió el poder, la profesora de la FLACSO advierte que no es la solución correcta, porque no se atacan las causas y se usan de manera cotidiana medidas que deberín ser excepcionales, como el estado de excepción o un toque de queda. "La estrategia descansa en los militares, en los policías, en general en el uso de la fuerza y esto no está dando el resultado necesario, porque definitivamente el uso de la fuerza no puede reducir todas las condiciones estructurales que nos abocan y que han permitido que este estemos en estas circunstancias", aseveró Carla Álvarez. Finalmente, agregó que el tema de la violencia debe tratarse de manera integral, porque si no se estarán repitiendo hechos tan espeluznantes como el acontecido el fin de semana.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, River City Hash Mondays is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Trump closed down the White House all day today after Iran won't let him surrender.Then, on the rest of the menu, two impeachments and thirty-four criminal convictions didn't work, so top lawyers are working on a stratagem to haul Trump out of office in an under-the-radar law; pogrom detainees allege torture as Trump's for-profit death camps deploy ‘involuntary medical procedures;' and, just like the Central Park Five who were found innocent, Trump still wants to execute the former Olympian who did nothing to his botched blue pool project.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where a former Thai lawmaker was arrested after killing the head of a government administrative organization outside his offices; and, a powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia and neighboring Ecuador today, forcing people to evacuate homes and buildings.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live PlayerKeep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“I was never a spy.

Pete Utschig — the surfcaster behind Phase Gear, Project Magic Hour, and the Surfcasters documentary series — sits down with Peter Jenkins in Newport, two weeks into his annual pilgrimage north from Florida. They cover how one weekend trip turned Florida into Pete's winter home water, and how a spare-room guide service became a full surf fishing lodge: all-inclusive, 20 minutes from the water, 45 minutes from three or four inlets, running December through April — exactly when nobody wants to be in the Northeast. Rods, lures, and food are provided; you bring board shorts and a toothbrush. From there it's Pete's bucket list, which is organized by fish rather than by country: cubera snapper on topwater, GTs in Indonesia, corvina in Ecuador, giant tarpon in Gabon, and bluefin tuna busting sardines within casting distance of a European rock. Along the way: why daytime fisheries beat vampire hours for actually enjoying a place, what guides learn from their guests, and the line that sums up the whole episode — the best time to fish is anytime you can. To fish with Pete in Florida, reach out to @phasegear on Instagram or through phase-gear.com. Mentioned in this episode: Phase Gear · Project Magic Hour (dir.

Medical breakthroughs rarely happen overnight. They begin with an idea, grow through years of research, and eventually reach the patients whose lives they may change. Andrea Lopez has spent her career helping make that journey possible. In this week's Celebrate Your Story, Andrea shares how a childhood fascination with medicine led her from Ecuador to New York, where a professor's encouragement opened the door to a career in cancer research. Today, she works at the forefront of CAR T-cell therapy, helping hospitals deliver treatments that harness a patient's immune system to fight cancer. Our conversation explores what it takes to turn a scientific discovery into a life-changing therapy and how AI is giving researchers new tools to understand complex data. Andrea also reflects on the mentors who shaped her career and explains why she believes the best leaders recognize potential in others before those individuals recognize it themselves. If you've ever wondered what happens between a breakthrough in the laboratory and a treatment in the hospital, you'll come away from this episode with a deeper appreciation for the people whose work is quietly reshaping the future of medicine.
Entre los encuentros se destacan reuniones con el rey de España, Felipe VI; el presidente de Argentina, Javier Milei; y el presidente de Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, entre otros.
This episode of Unashamed Unafraid introduces guests Mike (“Sacramento Mike”) and his son Weston, with Mike visiting Utah from Hawaii for his daughter's wedding. Mike describes growing up in an LDS family near Sacramento, first encountering pornography at 11, becoming compulsively drawn to it, and being forcibly sexually assaulted by older boys around age 13–14, which deepened his shame and porn use; he later learned those boys were arrested for raping family members. At 18, after drug use, he prayed on a beach, quit drugs, served a mission in Ecuador, married, and raised a family while hiding a long-term pornography problem that escalated alongside law-enforcement work in Oakland and PTSD. After multiple deaths in his care and suicidal crises, he sought help, was retired from duty, and recounts a 2018 moment when his wife, prompted by God, prevented a planned suicide, helping him recognize God's love. Mike has now been sober from pornography and sexual acting out for 8 years. Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!

This week we dug into the Maduro kidnapping as the entry point for something much bigger—the Cold War racism and corporate vengeance that has driven U.S. Policy toward Venezuela for decades, why there has never actually been a socialist government anywhere on earth, and why the American left needs to get its definitions straight before the right keeps winning that argument by default. Then we checked back in on AI concentration risk, where the hyperscalers are now issuing long-dated debt at spreads approaching junk bond territory, which tells you what the market actually thinks about pinning the entire economy on a technology nobody has fully defined yet.
