Today’s guest is somebody who inspires a lot of people with his words. His name is Adam Schmalholz, but you may be more familiar with his stage name, IN-Q, which stands for IN-Question. IN-Q is a National Poetry Slam champion, award-winning poet, multi-platinum songwriter, recent first-time author, and one of the most electric spoken word performers on the scene. In this episode, you’ll discover that his backstory is equally as fascinating as his poems. Listening to this conversation, you’ll find out how he first discovered his gift for poetry in school and how he went on to develop and refine his unique style. You’ll hear about the lean years, when IN-Q had no way of making money as a spoken word poet, when he had to pay for food with pocket change and work odd jobs to survive. You’ll also learn that, after putting in well over 10,000 hours in writing and performing, IN-Q finally had the opportunity to perform for people like Quincy Jones, Hillary Clinton, and even President Barack Obama. He went on to win awards, get featured on Def Poetry Jam and Oprah's Super Soul 100 List. His spoken word videos have received nearly 100 million views and he has sold out as the largest one-man poetry show in Los Angeles history. Like most changemakers, IN-Q’s backstory was not linear. All of the ups and the downs played a crucial role in navigating him along his path, and that is what makes his story so compelling – it’s something that we can all relate to. Tune in today to find out more about IN-Q’s incredible journey.Key Points From This Episode:• IN-Q’s favorite toy as a child was a G.I. Joe Snake Eyes action figure, perhaps because mystery makes history.• IN-Q talks about what it was like for him, not having his father around while he grew up.• His natural attraction to subjects that dealt with storytelling in school – like English.• When IN-Q was first introduced to hip-hop and the impact it had on him.• From Will Smith to Run DMC and A Tribe Called Quest – how IN-Q’s taste in hip-hop evolved.• Practicing his freestyle, learning to focus his energy, and the mentor he had at a young age.• What IN-Q’s idea of success was at that age and what he saw himself becoming.• The problem with setting high expectations for yourself and manipulating your truth in order to achieve them.• Freestyle versus written material and the incredible number of poems IN-Q has memorized.• IN-Q’s first rap name, and how he became known as IN-Q thanks to his curious nature.• Hear the story of when IN-Q met his father for the first time – Spoiler alert: It didn’t go well!• How IN-Q was first introduced to Da Poetry Lounge and ended up staying for 14 years.• The differences between music and spoken word poetry and what that shift was like for him.• How IN-Q funded his dreams during the lean years and the obsession that drove him.• Where IN-Q’s philosophical perspective on life came from – that he couldn’t control life, only go along for the ride.• Learn about the incredible support IN-Q received from his community in the early days.• IN-Q talks about his relationship with actor and poet, Omari Hardwick, and how Def Poetry Jam changed (or didn’t change) his life.• What IN-Q has learned from performing for and connecting with strangers versus those who are already familiar with his work.• The importance of setting clear boundaries and asking others to respect them.• When IN-Q says he is still finding his voice, it means that he is ever-evolving and learning.• Where the commentary starts and the poem begins – and why the story is key.• Find out how IN-Q came up with the idea for the cover of his book, Inquire Within.• How the collaborative project, Speakeasy Poetry, came to fruition and what it’s all about.

Welcome to MintCast -- an interview series featuring dissenting voices the establishment would rather silence-- I’m your host Mnar Muhawesh Adley.President Nicolas Maduro is celebrating this week after a clear victory in the National Assembly elections that took place on December 6. Boosted by a partial opposition boycott, the ruling socialist coalition led by Maduro received over 69% of the votes cast and won a massive 253 of the 277 seats in the National Assembly, the only branch of government not under its control.While the government is celebrating, the low turnout of 31% has many worried its support is decreasing, although the vote was held in the middle of a pandemic. The U.S. government, who has long considered Venezuela an official enemy, decried the process as fraudulent before it began, instructing opposition parties to boycott it and sanctioning those that disobeyed their orders.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo took to Twitter to call Venezuela’s elections illegitimate, describing Maduro as a dictator and strongman, despite the fact that it was overseen by 1,500 election observers and 300 representatives from 34 countries.Joining MintCast are four guests who know the country well, Max Blumenthal, Anya Parampil, Adrienne Pine, and Alan MacLeod.Blumenthal is an award-winning journalist and author and editor of The Grayzone. He has been reporting from Venezuela this week and observed the elections himself. His latest book is “The Management of Savagery: How America's National Security State Fueled the Rise of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Donald Trump.” He is also the co-host of the Moderate Rebels podcast.Parampil is a former producer and host at RT America’s “In Question.” She now hosts her own show, Red Lines, which you can find at The Grayzone and on YouTube.Pine is an associate professor of anthropology at the American University in Washington DC. In 2019, she occupied the Venezuelan embassy in DC to prevent it from falling into the hands of U.S.-backed self-declared president Juan Guaidó. Along with Blumenthal and Parampil, Pine observed the recent elections close up, traveling to Venezuela to serve as an election observer.Our third guest is MintPress’s own senior Staff Writer, Alan Macleod. Macleod is an expert on Western media coverage of South America. After completing his Ph.D. on the topic in 2017, he published five peer-reviewed articles on how media distorts the image of Venezuela.

On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Shane Stranahan and Jamarl Thomas had in-depth discussions about the latest developments in the Black Lives Matter movement and John Bolton's new book.Guests:Wyatt Reed - Sputnik News Analyst and Producer for By Any Means Necessary, which airs on Radio Sputnik M-F from 2-4PM | Police Attack/Repression of JournalistsMaram Susli - Political Commentator and Geopolitical Analyst | Effects of Negative Oil Prices on Middle EastLucy Komisar - Investigative Journalist focusing on corporate and financial corruption | Browder's Response to Her CommentsManila Chan - TV Reporter for RT America | Adapting Her Media Operation During CoronavirusIn the first hour, Jamarl Thomas said it's irrational to expect a rational response to an irrational system. Shane and Jarmarl also spoke to Sputnik producer Wyatt Reed about his experiences covering the clashes between protestors and police at the area near the White House that has been dubbed "Black Lives Matter Plaza." Reed described the back and forth that intensified as the day wore on but said he is optimistic the protestors will make long-term gains on their agenda.In the second hour, Jamarl and Shane talked to Maram Susli, aka Syrian Girl, about whether the Black Lives Matter protests fit the pattern of "color revolutions." Maram said that she agrees with many of the underlying problems she sees the movement for black lives addressing but is very concerned it has already been co-opted by the Biden campaign. She also relayed some of how the history of Martin Luther King, Jr., connects to Zionism and how that concerns her.Shane and Jamarl also spoke to investigative journalist Lucy Komisar, who did a deep dive into John Bolton's new book and its defense of Bill Browder. She detailed his version of what happened at the historic Helsinki meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin and explained how the lies by financier Bill Browder worked into Bolton's narrative... and who benefits.In the third hour, the hosts talked to veteran newswoman Manila Chan from RT's In Question about her take on the nationwide protests. She discussed what she's learned about the impact of slavery on America's black population and the effect it has today.

“I love poetry because I think poetry makes people feel less alone. And it inspires empathy. And I think empathy is what the world needs most right now.” EPISODE SUMMARY: IN-Q (or IN-Question), is the stage name of Adam Schmalholz, an American songwriter and National Poetry Slam champion. In this episode, IN-Q shares how to work with your ego when you are ready to create art. He explains the importance of listening to your inner voice because that is the voice that is your ‘true north’, that will tell you your passion and your purpose. No one else can tell you what that voice is saying except you. He will help you find the way. Some Question I Ask: How did you become a poet? Did you always know you wanted to be a poet? How do you know if your poetry is good after writing? How do you get your ego out of the way of your creative process? What keeps you going when you feel like giving up? How do you prepare for a performance and stay in the flow?   In This Episode You Will Learn: The importance of your voice and developing a relationship with that part of yourself. The difference between speaking your truth and speaking from your ego. How to awaken your inner voice and create a relationship with it. How to define what comes from your intuition instead of your ego. How to connect with your true purpose and resolving any internal conflict.

On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Anya Parampil, Washington, DC-based journalist. She previously hosted a daily, progressive afternoon news program called "In Question" on RT America."Hours before an expected vote at the United Nations General Assembly on the legitimacy of Venezuela's Maduro-led government amidst a US-led coup, a senior official of Juan Guaidó's coup regime was forced to resign from his position," The Grayzone reported Friday. "Economist Ricardo Hausmann stepped down from his post at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) following an exposé by The Grayzone's Anya Parampil of his conflicts of interest and opaque financial practices." What does this say about the attempted coup, and what does it mean going forward? House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Sunday that his panel has reached an agreement to secure testimony from the anonymous whistleblower whose detailed complaint launched an impeachment investigation into US President Donald Trump. This while, according to The Hill, "House Democrats want an impeachment inquiry that moves swiftly, but they say they have no timeline. They say they want to narrowly focus the investigation on President Trump and his alleged efforts to get a foreign government to dig up dirt on a political rival. Yet the potential witness list and lines of inquiry grow by the hour." Where are we going with all of this?While President Trump has hoped his negotiations with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will convince the country to give up its nuclear weapons, recently fired US national security adviser John Bolton contended in a Monday speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank that North Korea will not denuclearize and that it has benefited from stalling in talks with the US. "It seems to be clear that [North Korea] has not made a strategic decision to give up its nuclear weapons. In fact, I think the contrary is true," Bolton said, adding that Kim "will never give up the nuclear weapons voluntarily." This is an interesting analysis from the same guy who said that Kim would go the same way as former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. What does all of this mean?GUESTS:Anya Parampil — Washington, DC-based journalist. She previously hosted a daily, progressive afternoon news program called "In Question" on RT America. Caleb Maupin — Journalist and political analyst who focuses his coverage on US foreign policy and the global system of monopoly capitalism and imperialism.

The Iranian Chamber of Commerce has approved crypto mining and now the government is looking for ways to regulate the industry. Investigative journalist Ben Swann joins In Question to break this all down.

It’s clear the US-China relationship is still murky after a temporary trade truce struck on the sidelines of the G20 summit. US multinational computer giants like HP and Dell are leaving China while big tech giants like Amazon, Google and Microsoft have committed to pulling their manufacturing out of the country. Investigative journalist Ben Swann joins In Question with the details.

There is a new bipartisan interest on Capitol Hill in breaking up tech titans like Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Google’s parent company Alphabet, by examining if they are breaching anti-trust laws. Investigative journalist Ben Swann joins In Question to discuss.

US emergency aid to Venezuela has been re-routed to neighboring Colombia, as President Nicolas Maduro is still uneasy over allowing it in following the failed coup. The National Disaster Agency announced that they would be giving aid to millions of Venezuelan migrants who have fled to Colombia. Investigative journalist Ben Swann joins In Question to discuss.

According to the IMF, Venezuela’s hyperinflation will reach 10 million percent this year due to the sanctions implemented by the Obama and Trump administrations. However there are reports that Venezuela is in talks with Russia on how to settle a trade agreement, ditching the US dollar and turning to cryptocurrency to circumvent crippling US sanctions. To discuss, Investigative Journalist Ben Swann joins In Question.

So, Beto O'Rourke enters the 2020 race with no substantive legislative accomplishments after having served three terms as a congressman. He speaks in very broad platitudes, but I have no idea from a policy perspective what he can do - not what he wants to do, but what he can do. Over the coming days, he's going to travel the country to listen to those whom he seeks to serve to understand from their perspective how we can best meet these challenges. That sounds very “Bernieesque” to me, in that during the last campaign, Bernie Sanders was often asked: how do you plan to accomplish your agenda? He would say, it's not up to me, it's up to the voters, or something similar. Some analysts are asking if a white male is the best fit for 2020 with such a diverse Democratic field, particularly after many midterm successes powered by female and nonwhite candidates. What does this mean for the Democratic political landscape? What is O'Rourke about, based upon what he has accomplished rather than what he campaigns on? How does he get so much traction when a candidate like Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is currently getting very little? According to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro must go – even if the military has to intervene. This is part of the misinformation and disinformation campaign that you find in varying degrees in mainstream corporate media. Gingrich writes for Fox News Thursday, “There is one simple answer to the humanitarian disaster in Venezuela. The dictator Nicolás Maduro and his corrupt, violent, repressive regime must go. Venezuela is part of the immediate American neighborhood. If our commitment to change is not effective in our own backyard, the impact on our prestige and leadership worldwide will be substantial.” Anya Parampil's piece in MintPress News, "Ricardo Hausmann's 'Morning After' for Venezuela: The Neoliberal Brain Behind Juan Guaido's Economic Agenda," articulates a different narrative based upon research and historical context. We'll examine the differences.GUESTS:Garland Nixon — Co-Host of Fault Lines on Sputnik News. Anya Parampil — Washington, DC-based journalist. She previously hosted a daily progressive afternoon news program called "In Question" on RT America.

US Attorney General Bill Barr is preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, with plans for Barr to submit to Congress soon after a summary of Mueller's confidential report. Under the special counsel regulations, Mueller must submit a "confidential" report to the attorney general at the conclusion of his work, but the rules don't require it to be shared with Congress, or, by extension, the public. And, as Barr has made clear, the Justice Department generally guards against publicizing "derogatory" information about uncharged individuals. What's the media to do? Americans have been whipped into a frenzy about this report, and it looks like it's going to be anti-climatic in terms of its legal scope. Politically, who knows?The Supreme Court struck an extraordinary blow for criminal justice reform on Wednesday, placing real limitations on what many have called policing for profit across the country. Its unanimous decision for the first time prohibits all 50 states from imposing excessive fines, including the seizure of property, on people accused or convicted of a crime. What are the real implications of this decision? As the deadline approaches for the withdrawal of US forces fighting the Daesh in Syria, America's closest European allies have turned down a Trump administration request to fill the gap with their own troops, according to US and foreign officials. France and Britain are the only other countries with troops on the ground in the US-led coalition battling Daesh. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said last week that he was mystified by Trump's policy. On Tuesday, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said that “there is no prospect of British forces replacing the Americans” in Syria. What does mean for Syria going forward? On the website Grayzone Project, Anya Parampil writes, "Maria Faría, the daughter of a would-be Hugo Chávez assassin, illegally barged into Venezuela's embassy in Costa Rica and declared herself ambassador. The embarrassing stunt highlighted everything wrong with Juan Guaidó's reality-show government." We'll take a deep dive into everything wrong in Venezuela, the US attempt to overthrow President Nicolas Maduro and set the facts straight on the legitimacy of Juan Guaido. The Costs Of War Project released a report showing that "the American public has largely ignored the post-9/11 wars and their costs. But the vastness of Washington's counterterror activities suggests, now more than ever, that it's time to pay attention." What does his mean? They "set out to map all the places in the world where the United States is still fighting terrorism so many years later, since September 2001 when the Bush administration launched the 'Global War on Terror.'” What did they find? How much has this cost in blood and treasure? Their project's research shows that, "since 2001, the US war on terror has resulted in the loss — conservatively estimated — of almost half a million lives in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan alone. By the end of 2019, we also estimate that Washington's global war will cost American taxpayers no less than $5.9 trillion already spent and in commitments to caring for veterans of the war throughout their lifetimes." What's going on here?GUESTS:Brian Becker — Co-Host of Loud & Clear on Sputnik News Radio. Barbara Arnwine — President and founder of Transformative Justice Coalition, internationally renowned for contributions on critical justice issues including the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1991 and the 2006 reauthorization of provisions of the Voting Rights Act.Hassan El-Tayyab — Co-director of Just Foreign Policy.
