Serving as the Regional Leader for VOM's work in Latin America, Isaac Santiago tells what it's like to be a Christian today in countries like Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Colombia. He has witnessed the shift since 2018 in Nicaragua—listed as a Restricted Nation in VOM's 2026 Global Prayer Guide—through more laws that directly affect the church and severe restrictions and government pressure similar to what Christians face in Communist nations like Cuba and China. While some Christians in Nicaragua are weary and struggling to adjust to the new persecution reality, Christians in Cuba have dealt with such restrictions for more than 60 years. Isaac says pastors and leaders in the church there continue to be obedient to the Lord despite threats from their government. Isaac will also share thoughts on what the change in leadership in Venezuela means for the church there. In the last two years, he has seen a revival break out in the country and the gospel advance in many parts of the country. In Colombia, people in the cities are often oblivious to what is happening in the "red zones" where Christians are being persecuted by Marxist guerillas and other armed groups. With the current president of Colombia being a former guerrilla, persecution of the church has increased as guerrilla forces have become more powerful. Even though pastors are afraid, they are choosing to be faithful where the Lord has called them. Isaac will also share the miraculous story of a woman held at gunpoint for reaching out to youth in her area and bringing them to Jesus.

Conversamos con Rachel Schwartz sobre cómo las instituciones del Estado no siempre fallan, sino que muchas veces funcionan exactamente como fueron diseñadas. A partir de su libro Socavar el Estado desde adentro, recientemente traducido al español por Sophos, analizamos cómo los legados de las guerras civiles en Centroamérica siguen moldeando la forma en que operan hoy las instituciones públicas en países como Guatemala y Nicaragua. Los invitamos a la presentación del libro en español que se realizará mañana en Sophos, como una oportunidad para seguir reflexionando colectivamente sobre estos temas.Gracias a nuestros patrocinadores:Party SmartInterlunioTransdocSíguenos en nuestras redes sociales:Whatsapp:https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaFGJYN7z4ko8qL0Rk3USpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6nwrSBjxwubm0nJlEDoJdD?si=d2a6238d0a05462eTiktok: / tangentepodcast X: / tangentegt Facebook: / tangentegt Instagram: / tangente_gt

In this episode, we feature Michael Parenti, who passed away this week at the age of 92. A prominent political scientist and cultural critic, he delivers a powerful lecture at the University of Colorado Boulder from 1986. Parenti discusses the intricacies of US interventionism, the dynamics of capitalism, and the historical exploitation of the developing world. He challenges conventional narratives about poverty in the Global South, asserting that these nations are not poor but rather over-exploited. Join us as we unpack his insightful analysis of imperialism, capitalism, and the ongoing struggles for social justice that our oligarchs and their political class have not seemed to learn the lessons from 40 years ago, as the stature of the U.S. erodes daily on the world stage, supporting endless war in Ukraine and Palestine, disastrous trade policies, and ongoing hegemonic and regime change operations in multiple countries. Support the Podcast via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LBGXTRM292TFC&source=url Born to a working class Italian American family in New York City, he earned his doctorate at Yale and taught political science despite being blacklisted for his political views. We re-air this Yellow lecture - referring to the poor 1980s video quality – because after the U.S war machine goes after Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia, who's next, this desire for hegemonic control from this failing empire will not stop until we all step up and make it stop. And this Imperial Boomerang, what Chalmers Johnson called Blowback, it's hitting us in Minnesota, on the streets here in Los Angeles all the way to Maine. The violent methods to control and subdue smaller weaker countries, disappearing intellectuals, activists, political leaders Like I saw in Guatemala in the 90s; where activists are unalived without any fear of accountability.

Fear you'll never be able to invest in real estate because of money, credit, or bad timing? This single mom lost her house and had a 200 credit score, yet she was still able to rebuild her life and buy rental properties. If she can find a way to build wealth, so can YOU! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Just months before the 2008 housing market crash, Sarah Weatherbee found herself unable to make her mortgage payments. So, she rented out her home, moved to Nicaragua, and lived off the rental income until the dust settled. Unfortunately, shortly after returning to the U.S., she lost her home. The silver lining? Although things hadn't panned out, Sarah had been given a small taste of what it's like to own a rental property—with someone paying down your mortgage for you—and was determined to own real estate again one day. And that's exactly what she did by buckling down, rebuilding her credit, and stashing away money for her next property. Fast forward to today, and Sarah has bought multiple properties with low money down. Stay tuned as she shares the investing strategy she uses to do it! In This Episode We Cover How Sarah rebuilt her credit and bought real estate again after losing her home Making over $130,000 in pure profit from ONE real estate deal The investing strategy that allows you to buy multiple properties with low money down When to move to another area of the country to invest in real estate The one reason why Sarah didn't quit real estate investing after failure And So Much More!

Let's think back to January 6th 2021, when the U.S. Capitol was invaded by radical pro-Trump activists. Of course since then, Donald Trump has left the White House. But, with hindsight, how should we remember his mandate and this event in particular?  Political scientist Baraba F. Walter recently looked into the US's current instability and went as far as describing it as an anocracy. That's a term for a government that is neither fully democratic, nor fully autocratic. It was first coined in 1946 by Austrian philosopher Martin Buber and then translated into English in the 1950s. Barbara Walter is a CIA advisor and professor at the University of San Diego in California. Throughout her career, she has studied conflicts in many countries across the world, such as Lebanon, Syria, Sri Lanka, and Nicaragua, to name just a few.  Where does the word anocracy come from? Why would she believe that? And how can an anocracy plunge into civil war? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Whether you’re a seasoned team member or preparing for your first trip, short-term mission trips have the potential to make a meaningful global impact. In this conversation, we’ll highlight five key principles that help ensure our efforts contribute to lasting, sustainable change in the communities we serve.

On Friday, temperatures are expected to drop into the upper and mid-20s. Saturday is expected to see the most intense conditions, as odds favor a transition from rain to sleet to snow given the increasing depth of the cold air. In other news, President Donald Trump addressed the shift from Wall Street to Y'all Street as a negative thing in a social media post Sunday evening; Dallas police arrested five people early Monday morning after they gathered at a traffic accident scene and began assaulting officers and interfering with the investigation; an immigrant from Nicaragua was found dead at a Texas immigration detention facility last week. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said in a statement that Victor Manuel Diaz appears to have killed himself Wednesday at the sprawling tent complex at the U.S. Army's Fort Bliss base in El Paso; and Dallas' decorative crosswalks may have run out of pavement. In a newly released notice, Texas regulators denied the city's request to keep the artistic markings and set an end-of-month deadline to plan their removal or risk losing state or federal transportation funding.

An Acid Western about a 19th century American mercenary overthrowing the government of Nicaragua is one of the angriest farces ever committed to film, reflecting on not only the historical attrocities, but also the then on-going attrocities tied to the U.S. Iran-Contra scandals. It's the film that killed director Alex Cox's chances at a mainstream career, but what a way to go. Starring Ed Harris, Richard Masur, René Auberjonois, Peter Boyle, Miguel Sandoval, and Marlee Matlin. Written by Rudy Wurlitzer. Directed by Alex Cox. Music by Joe Strummer.

Chinese Sinister Intentions in Cuba and Nicaragua. Guest: STEVE YATES. China maintains a significant presence in Cuba, utilizing the island for intelligence gathering and signals facilities targeted at the United States. As Venezuela'soil subsidies to Cuba potentially end, the island faces economic collapse. The US may utilize travel restrictions and economic pressure as leverage.1959 HAVANA

SHOW SCHEDULE1-14-251920 SALT RIVER China Urges Canada to Break from US Influence. Guests: CHARLES BURTON and GORDON CHANG. China is pressuring Canada to adopt "strategic autonomy" and distance itself from US influence as PM Mark Carney visits Beijing. Despite myths of economic salvation through Chinese trade, experts argue Canada'sexports to China remain minimal. Concerns persist regarding fentanyl production, Arctic neglect, and Chineseespionage. China's "Hollow Power" in Iran and Venezuela. Guests: GORDON CHANG and CHARLES BURTON. China's influence appears limited as it fails to substantively support struggling allies like Venezuela's Maduro or the Iranian regime. While China remains a major purchaser of discounted Iranian oil, it has proven unable to dictate events against US pressure. Experts describe China as a "hollow power." Trump's Iran Tariff Threat and China Trade Rift. Guest: ALAN TONELSON. President Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on any country trading with Iran significantly impacts China, which values this trade for political and symbolic reasons. China has already failed to meet its previous trade obligations, including soybean purchases and rare earth export licenses. Europe remains economically vulnerable. Electricity Costs, AI Demand, and Venezuela's Oil Reality. Guest: BUD WEINSTEIN. Rising US electricity prices, up 30-35% over five years, are driven by data center and AI growth alongside infrastructure underinvestment. Meanwhile, Venezuelan oil is deemed impractical for US demand due to high extraction costs and political instability. Rebuilding these fields would require massive, high-risk investments. Chinese Sinister Intentions in Cuba and Nicaragua. Guest: STEVE YATES. China maintains a significant presence in Cuba, utilizing the island for intelligence gathering and signals facilities targeted at the United States. As Venezuela's oil subsidies to Cuba potentially end, the island faces economic collapse. The US may utilize travel restrictions and economic pressure as leverage. The Risks of Venezuelan Oil and Soaring Copper Prices. Guest: SIMON CONSTABLE. American oil companies remain reluctant to invest in Venezuela due to the historical risk of nationalization and decayed infrastructure. In commodity markets, copper has reached an "astronomical" price of over $6 per pound, leading to a surge in theft from electronics and bridges globally. Artemis 2 Safety Concerns and SpaceX Dominance. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. The Artemis 2 manned mission faces controversy over unresolved Orion heat shield damage observed during previous tests. Meanwhile, SpaceX has secured a monopoly on recent Space Force contracts, signaling a shift toward prioritizing reliability and cost over redundancy. China has filed for 200,000 new satellites. Scouting Mars for Helicopters and the Search for Alien Life. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. Scientists are scouting landing sites for future Mars helicopters in areas containing near-surface ice, potentially for future Starship missions. Research suggests liquid water may have existed on Mars three billion years ago under protective ice sheets. Recent SETI results analyzed billions of data points without finding definitive alien signals. Venezuela's Power Vacuum and the Path Forward. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. Mary Kissel discusses the "unfinished" state of Venezuela following the removal of Maduro, characterizing the remaining leadership as "thugs" and "gangs" focused on drug money. She explores the roles of Cuba, regional neighbors like Colombia and Brazil, and the Vatican's new moral leadership in the region. Iran in Transition: Assessing a Regime on the Brink. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. John Batchelor and Mary Kissel analyze reports of Iran's potential collapse, citing internet blackouts and regime brutality. They discuss potential U.S. interventions, such as kinetic strikes or Starlinkaccess, and evaluate whether Reza Pahlavi is a credible transitional leader amidst concerns of the country breaking into ethnic factions. The Intellectual Factions of the "New Right". Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Peter Berkowitz outlines the fracturing of the "New Right" into factions like national conservatives and post-liberals. Referencing Laura K. Field's book, Furious Minds, he notes these groups often reject Lockeanprinciples in the Declaration of Independence. However, he distinguishes these intellectuals from typical, non-ideological Trump voters. The New Right's Radical Rejection of Traditional Republicanism. Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Berkowitz contrasts the New Right's desire for state-led social reform with the Republican Party's traditional focus on liberty and limited government. He discusses Michael Anton's views on the "right of revolution" and warns that attacking classical liberalism risks eroding essential protections against bigotry and persecution in America. Plunging Russian Oil Prices and the Impact of Global Sanctions. Guest: MICHAEL BERNSTAM. Russian oil prices are dropping significantly, with some major brands selling between $34 and $35 per barrel. Westernsanctions and global supply gluts allow buyers like China and India to extract massive discounts. Future stability in Iran could further increase competition, driving Russian revenues and taxes even lower. Pakistan's $1.5 Billion Arms Deal with Sudan and China's Strategic Influence. Guests: RICK FISHER and GORDON CHANG. Pakistan is nearing a deal to supply jets and drones to Sudan, likely funded by Saudi Arabia. China uses these transactions to establish alternative security structures in the Middle East. Experts suggest China prefers ongoing conflict over peace to maximize profits and regional influence. The Collapse of the Chinese Real Estate Market and Economic Stagnation. Guests: ANNE STEVENSON-YANG and GORDON CHANG. China's property sector faces a permanent downturn, with prices dropping 30–60% and enough vacant apartments to house billions. The government lacks the funds for a rescue. Xi Jinping'sfocus on high-tech is insufficient to replace real estate, which previously accounted for 25% of GDP. The China-Iran Partnership: Oil, Surveillance, and Regional Stability. Guest: JACK BURNHAM. Chinamaintains a pragmatic "partnership" with Iran, focused on extracting discounted oil. Beijing provides surveillance technology to help the Iranian regime suppress internal protests while officially calling for stability. Additionally, Chinese or Russian technology is suspected of disrupting Starlink satellites to hinder military communications.

With the removal of Maduro in Venezuela, will the U.S. turn its eye toward Cuba or Nicaragua? How might that affect the cigar industry?

It's Wednesday, January 14th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Most dangerous countries for Christians: The 2026 Red List Global Christian Relief released its 2026 Red List of the world's most dangerous countries to be a Christian.  The report verified nearly 2,000 Christians were killed between November 2023 and October 2025. The country with the most killings of Christians was Nigeria. The country with the most violence and intimidation against churches was Rwanda. China led with the most arrests and sentences of Christians. Mozambique saw the most displacement of believers. And Mexico had the most abductions of Christians.  Other dangerous countries for Christians included the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Iran, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Russia, Ukraine, and Vietnam. Psalm 37:14-15 says, “The wicked have drawn the sword and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who are of upright conduct. Their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.” Trump threatens Nigeria with more military strikes Speaking of Nigeria, the country could see more military strikes from the United States if violence against Christians continues. On Christmas Day last month, the U.S. launched deadly strikes in Nigeria against militants linked with the Islamic State.   U.S. President Donald Trump told The New York Times last Thursday, “I'd love to make it a one-time strike. But if they continue to kill Christians it will be a many-time strike.” Listen to President Trump's warning last November. TRUMP: “I'm hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians.” Texas banned tax-funded abortion travel Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claimed victory last Friday in a case against San Antonio's abortion travel fund. The city established its so-called “Reproductive Justice Fund” last year to support women traveling to other states to kill their unborn babies. However, Texas subsequently passed a law to ban such funding. Attorney General Paxton commented on the case. He said, “I will always do everything in my power to prevent radicals from manipulating the system to murder innocent babies. … San Antonio's unlawful attempt to cover the travel and other expenses for out-of-state abortions has now officially been defeated.” Trump wants to ban institutional investors in single-family homes President Donald Trump is calling for Congress to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. Such investors have acquired thousands of single-family homes since the 2008 financial crisis.  President Trump hopes his ban on institutional investors would make single-family homes more affordable. The median price for an existing home hit a record $435,300 last year. On Truth Social, he wrote, “People live in homes, not corporations.” More immigrants left America than entered in 2025 A report by the Brookings Institute estimates that more immigrants left the U.S. than entered it last year. The report suggests net migration fell by anywhere from 10,000 to 295,000 in 2025. It's the first time in at least 50 years that net migration was negative for America. 2026 is also expected to see negative net migration. Actor Timothy Busfield arrested on child sex abuse charges NewsNation has confirmed that Emmy-winning actor Timothy Busfield has surrendered to law enforcement after an arrest warrant was issued last week amid allegations of sexual abuse involving minors in New Mexico. According to a criminal complaint, two young actors allege that Busfield, age 68, touched them inappropriately while on set filming the Fox series “The Cleaning Lady” from 2022 to 2024, where Busfield was an Executive Producer. The court documents detail a pattern of grooming, where Busfield would allegedly shower the children with gifts and praise, while also kissing and fondling the boys in a bedroom on set. They were 7 and 8 years old at the time. Record high of U.S. independents A new Gallup survey found a record-high 45 percent of U.S. adults identified as political independents last year. The last time that Americans were evenly split between Republicans, Independents, and Democrats was 2005. Since then, identification with Republicans and Democrats has dwindled to 27 percent each.  The rise of political independents comes as younger generations are less likely to identify with a party. However, slightly more Americans still lean Democrat than Republican.  Christian homeless shelter allowed to hire like-minded staff And finally, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously in favor of Union Gospel Mission last Tuesday. The Christian homeless shelter in Washington state serves anyone but only hires employees who agree with their religious beliefs. A state anti-discrimination law would have required the mission to hire people who did not align with their beliefs. So, the mission challenged the law with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom. Jeremiah Galus, Senior Counsel with the Christian legal group, said, “Yakima Union Gospel Mission exists to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through its homeless shelter, addiction-recovery programs, outreach efforts, meal services, and health clinics. The Ninth Circuit correctly ruled that the First Amendment protects the mission's freedom to hire fellow believers who share that calling.” Hebrews 13:16 says, “But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, January 14th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Le lundi 12 janvier, vers 16h30, Alain Orsoni est assassiné dans le village de Vero, en Corse-du-sud. Son assassin n'a tiré qu'une balle et l'a atteint dans la région du cœur. L'ex-dirigeant nationaliste était exilé depuis plusieurs années en Amérique centrale et ne venait que très rarement en Corse. En ce début du mois de janvier, il était sur son île natale pour assister aux obsèques de sa mère.Alain Orsoni épouse la cause nationaliste corse dans les années 1970 et s'engage au sein du FLNC, le Front de libération nationale de la Corse. Dans les années 1990, il fonde son propre mouvement, le Mouvement pour l'autodétermination (MPA), que ses détracteurs ne tardent pas à surnommer le « Mouvement pour les affaires ». Il quitte la Corse en 1996, en pleine guerre fratricide entre mouvements nationalistes, et s'exile en Amérique centrale. En 2008, il se réinstalle à Ajaccio et il est la cible d'une tentative d'assassinat. Depuis plusieurs années, Alain Orsoni était retourné vivre au Nicaragua.Cet épisode de Code source est raconté par Damien Delseny, chef du service police justice du Parisien.Écoutez Code source sur toutes les plates-formes audio : Apple Podcast (iPhone, iPad), Amazon Music, Podcast Addict ou Castbox, Deezer, Spotify.Crédits.

Mike Cobb is not your average CEO. Over 25 years ago, he recognized a significant gap between how people dreamed about living abroad and how they actually made it happen. While most folks stopped at “wouldn't it be nice to retire on the beach,” Mike rolled up his sleeves and started building real communities across Latin America—in Belize, Nicaragua, Panama, and beyond. Along the way, he's helped thousands of expats, investors, and digital nomads turn their “someday” into reality. From navigating property laws and second passports to launching Discovery Tours that let people see, touch, and feel what life abroad could look like, Mike has made the dream practical. What sets him apart as a guest is his ability to tell stories that blend entrepreneurship, global living, and practical investing. He's candid about the lessons learned from decades of working in emerging markets. He knows how to explain complex ideas, such as international diversification or SD-IRA investments, in a way that's approachable, engaging, and fun. Suppose your audience is curious about retiring abroad, investing internationally, or just creating a “Plan B” lifestyle. In that case, Mike brings the perfect mix of expertise and storytelling to inspire them to take action. He's a well-known speaker, writer, and thought leader on international real estate, expat living, and alternative investments, such as teak ownership. Whether it's guiding families through the process of retiring overseas, helping digital entrepreneurs establish a “Plan B,” or showing investors how to diversify their investments through global property, Mike brings both practical insights and engaging stories from his decades of experience on the ground.

Episode Description “Could you survive a plane crash thanks to your bone density?”

Jared and Steven convince everyone we're just a little guy and they give us a million dollars for it.

Su voz está entre las más influyentes de finales del siglo XX. Buscó a Dios a través de la ciencia porque consideraba que era un camino más directo incluso que el de la religión. Fue cura, revolucionario, escritor, poeta, escultor y teólogo; una persona utópica que miraba la realidad proyectándose al futuro. Pero sobre todas estas facetas, Ernesto Cardenal fue un místico que aplicaba el amor a todo, convencido de que es la única vía de liberación del ser humano. La situación política de su país, Nicaragua, estuvo fuertemente unida a su biografía y obra.Tras pasar por un monasterio trapense de Estados Unidos, donde conoció al teólogo y activista Thomas Merton, se ordenó sacerdote. Fundó la famosa comunidad campesina de Solentiname, participó en la Revolución Sandinista y fue miembro de su primer gobierno. En esta etapa, la visita de Juan Pablo II a Managua en 1983 dejó una imagen que recorrió el mundo: Ernesto Cardenal arrodillado ante un papa que le reprendía por su actividad política y su cercanía a la Teología de la Liberación. El religioso salió del gobierno tras la eliminación del Ministerio de Cultura y se desvinculó del Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional por la deriva autoritaria de Daniel Ortega.En su poesía, marcada por la intertextualidad y el exteriorismo, destacan títulos como 'Oración por Marilyn Monroe y otros poemas', 'Salmos', 'Gethsemani, Ky', 'Homenaje a los indios' o 'Cántico cósmico', la que muchos consideran su obra cumbre. En prosa sobresalen los tres tomos de sus memorias. Hasta su muerte, a los 95 años, Cardenal siguió viajando, escribiendo, meditando... y amando.Este documental sonoro, con guion de Libertad Martínez y diseño sonoro de Mayca Aguilera, cuenta con los escritores nicaragüenses Sergio Ramírez y Gioconda Belli, amigos personales de Ernesto Cardenal. Participan también María Ángeles Pérez López, profesora de la Universidad de Salamanca y experta en su obra; Ignacio Dueñas García de Polavieja, docente e investigador de la Teología de la Liberación; y Juan José Tamayo, uno de los referentes en Europa de esta corriente teológica cristiana.Escuchar audio

On today's special, we turn our full attention to Venezuela, exploring the need for intervention with four guests who offer varied firsthand experiences and perspectives on the country and President Trump's role. Our first guest is Santiago Vidal Calvo, a cities policy analyst focused on government accountability and transparency through the Manhattan Institute's Freedom of Information Law initiatives. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Vidal Calvo immigrated to the United States in 2021. He explains why President Trump's actions were lawful under Article II of the U.S. Constitution and justified by national security concerns, noting that more than a century of precedent supports the president's authority to act in this manner. He also challenges claims of international law violations, questioning who defines and enforces international law—and where those protections were during the 27 years Venezuelans were killed, tortured, and kidnapped. Next we speak with Carrie Filipetti who currently serves as Executive Director of the Vandenberg Coalition. Previously, she held senior roles at the U.S. Department of State, including Deputy Assistant Secretary for Cuba and Venezuela in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs and Deputy Special Representative for Venezuela—earning a Superior Honor Award for her service. Venezuela's collapse is a stark riches-to-rags story: once the wealthiest nation in Latin America, its decline began with the rise of socialism. In just the past few years, roughly 25 percent of the population has been forced to flee. Families have been torn apart, torture and human rights abuses are widespread, and nearly every Venezuelan has been affected—fueling strong domestic support for what is unfolding now. Carrie also examines what this moment means for Cuba, and how these developments will shape the broader Western Hemisphere, including implications for Cuba and Nicaragua. Our third guest is Doral Councilman Rafael Piñeyro, who was born in Caracas, Venezuela, and moved to Miami with his family at the age of 15, carrying hopes and dreams for his future. Today, roughly 40 percent of the Doral community is Venezuelan. This issue goes beyond political parties or ideology—it is about principle, accountability, and justice. What happens in Venezuela matters not only to its people, but to the entire region and the United States. After 26 years of suffering under these regimes, the impact has been felt both in Venezuela and here at home. Councilman Piñeyro believes the United States is now sending a clear and unmistakable message: these regimes will be held accountable, and it is time for a better future for Latin America—while signaling to the world that America is back. Alexa Lavoi, Chief Journalist for Rebel News in Quebec and Ottawa, recounts her on-the-ground reporting from Doral, Florida, where she interviewed Venezuelans who fled their homeland after facing persecution for opposing views or noncompliance with the regime. Through emotional, firsthand stories, Alexa witnessed both the pain and resilience within the community. While hope remains strong, there is also profound worry for the future of Venezuela and for family members still trapped under the regime.

Cilia Flores’ Role: Far from being a symbolic first lady, Flores is a mastermind behind corruption and drug trafficking. She was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury and linked to major criminal activities, including her nephews’ cocaine smuggling. Western Hemisphere Strategy: The discussion emphasizes the Monroe Doctrine and its modern interpretation under Trump (“Donroe Doctrine”), asserting U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere to counter Russian, Chinese, and Iranian influence. Military Operation: The arrest of Maduro was a highly precise Delta Force mission, compared to past U.S. interventions like Noriega’s capture in Panama. The podcast praises Trump’s decisiveness and military success without U.S. casualties. Regional Impact: Cuba: Faces severe pressure due to loss of Venezuelan oil and the death of Cuban guards during the raid. Other Leftist Regimes: Leaders in Nicaragua, Colombia, and Brazil are considered weakened. Mexico: While not a failed state, concerns about narco-terrorism and water treaty disputes are highlighted. Future of Venezuela: Interim President Delcy Rodríguez is described as another Marxist figure, raising concerns about continuity of corruption. Advocates for free and fair elections to restore stability and attract foreign investment, especially in oil and gold sectors. Venezuela’s vast natural resources make it a prime candidate for rapid economic recovery if governance shifts toward pro-market policies. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In this episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret delivers a solo broadcast examining the reported removal of Nicolás Maduro and the broader implications of regime change operations in Latin America and beyond. Matt walks through historical precedents involving Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Mexico, raising concerns about intelligence-driven interventions, narco-cartel entanglements, and the normalization of foreign regime replacement. A significant portion of the episode explores the concept of technocracy, tracing its origins during the Great Depression and revisiting the proposed “Technate of the Americas,” including its ties to elite management systems, energy-based credit models, and centralized control. Matt also contrasts these developments with historical examples of anti-corruption purges in China and Russia, questioning whether similar purges have occurred within U.S. intelligence and military institutions. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes constitutional sovereignty, long-term historical patterns, and the dangers of repeating past imperial strategies under new narratives, while engaging with live audience commentary and questions.

In this episode of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Colonel Towner for an in-depth discussion centered on Stolen Elections by Ralph Pizzulo. Rather than moving directly into Chapter 5, the group revisits and recaps Chapters 1 through 3, examining the book's central claims, sources, and narrative structure. The conversation focuses heavily on the book's portrayal of CIA involvement, alleged whistleblowers, election manipulation narratives, and claims surrounding Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, and U.S. foreign policy operations. Colonel Towner provides detailed critiques of factual inaccuracies, missing documentation, and questionable assertions, particularly regarding intelligence agencies, counterterrorism operations, and election systems. The hosts scrutinize the book's reliance on unnamed sources, lack of redactions, and internal contradictions, while contrasting the claims with historical context and firsthand experience. The episode unfolds as a methodical breakdown of credibility, motive, and narrative construction, setting the stage for future chapters and deeper examination in upcoming episodes.

Jun 18, 2025   In this powerful and wide-ranging conversation, Margaret Kimberley—senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and a leader in Black Alliance for Peace—joins Breht to dissect the spectacle of American decline and, as usual, Kimberley offers a razor-sharp analysis of late-stage capitalism's collapse into cruelty, chaos, and confusion. Together, they explore the Democratic Party's complicity in ushering in this moment, U.S. weapons transfers to Ukraine in support of their proxy war against Russia, and the genocidal assault on Gaza as a revealing - if disturbing - lens into the true nature of the American empire. Kimberley also shares firsthand insights from delegations to Nicaragua, Venezuela, and China, illuminating how the Global South is resisting U.S. domination and reshaping global power. For those feeling the weight of worsening economic conditions, rising fascism, and political demobilization, Kimberley offers hard-won wisdom about organizing in the belly of the beast. We close with discussion about where real hope can still be found.

On this episode, we travel the globe on the hunt for some of the most dangerous vegetation in the world, the plants that view humans as prey: you'll be meeting such fearsome plants as the Man-Eating Tree of Madagascar, the Vampire Vine of Nicaragua and the Terrible Tiger Tree of India!
