Podcasts about Noriega

Actor and alleged wiseguy Gianni Russo, who played the traitorous Carlo Rizzi in 1972's "The Godfather," stops by the studio to talk about people he's bumped off in real life (two, maybe three that he'll admit to), sleeping with Liza Minnelli and Marilyn Monroe (!?) and taking acting lessons from Marlon Brando. Also, crime boss John Gotti and Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega get mentions! (Did you know that Liza and Noriega briefly toured together in the '80s? Okay, we made that part up).  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

Con un remezón en el orden mundial. Así estrenamos el 2026. 36 años después de la rendición de Noriega en Panamá, Estados Unidos extrae y captura a Nicolás Maduro Moro en el corazón de Caracas. Pero el régimen-si bien herido- no está para nada muerto, por ahora exhibe cohesión de su poderosa estructura político militar. Por ahora. Todo sucede en tiempo real con dosis extremas de incertidumbre y muchísimas posiciones encontradas. Hacemos un primer análisis con la politóloga costarricense Tatiana Benavides.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 1, 2026. 0:30 A controversial appointment in New York City is raising serious red flags as the new mayor — Zohran Mamdani — installs a Democratic Socialist housing activist who has openly called for the seizure of private property and labeled homeownership a form of “white supremacy.” We break down why this move goes far beyond tenant advocacy and strikes at the heart of American freedom, private property rights, and constitutional principles. From New York’s iconic skyline to immigrant success stories, property ownership—not government control—is the foundation of liberty and prosperity. As radical housing policies gain traction in America’s largest city, the question becomes unavoidable: Is New York exporting socialism—and what does that mean for the future of the country? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The former dictator of Venezuela appeared in a New York City Courtroom to plead not guilty to charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has abandoned his race for a third consecutive Term. A man was arrested after damaging property at Vice President JD Vance's home in Cincinnati, Ohio. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We revisit Chuck Schumer’s 2020 attacks on President Trump over Venezuela, when Schumer accused Trump of being too weak for failing to remove dictator Nicolás Maduro. At the time, Schumer demanded tougher action and mocked Trump for not delivering regime change. Fast-forward to 2026, and the tables have turned. Trump did exactly what Schumer claimed to want—after Maduro was indicted by the Trump Justice Department in 2020 and then ignored for four full years under the Biden administration. Yet now that Trump has acted, Schumer is still unhappy. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss the situation in Venezuela after the arrest of Nicolas Maduro. The Mamas describe watching videos of Venezuelans celebrating in the streets—both inside Venezuela and across places like Miami, Chile, and Buenos Aires—after decades of repression, food shortages, and stolen wages. Even as Venezuelan expatriates openly celebrate his removal, left-wing protests defend Maduro. Is this another case of Trump Derangement Syndrome? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Here’s something you won’t hear much about: car theft in the United States is down nearly 25%, and the timing isn’t accidental. Since the Trump administration began cracking down on illegal immigration and international theft rings, stolen vehicle numbers have dropped sharply compared to the same period last year. 25:00 There are a lot of unanswered questions swirling around Venezuela—and we're digging deep. Why did President Trump say the U.S. is “running” Venezuela? Why isn’t Washington immediately backing the opposition leaders who reportedly won the 2024 election? Why are Venezuelans celebrating abroad, but the streets inside Venezuela remain eerily quiet? The answer is Cuba. We lay a theory that explains the loose ends: Maduro didn’t trust his own military, so his inner security was handled by Cuban operatives, trained by the old Soviet KGB. That explains why most of those killed during Maduro’s ouster were Cuban, not Venezuelan—and why fear still grips the country. The Cubans, not Maduro alone, were effectively the deep state of Venezuela, controlling intelligence, security, and enforcement. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 About a third of Venezuela’s oil has been going straight to China—not out of friendship, but leverage, discounts, and a shot at the United States. With U.S. sanctions in place, Beijing was scooping up embargoed oil on the cheap while thumbing its nose at Washington. Win-win for China. But that game may be ending. As global dynamics shift, President Trump signals a different approach: sell Venezuela’s oil on the open market, rebuild its broken energy infrastructure, and let prosperity replace poverty. And make no mistake—Venezuela should be rich. It has more proven oil reserves than any country on Earth and massive gold reserves, yet its people are poor because socialism turned a resource powerhouse into a failed state. 35:30 The U.S. raid to capture Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro isn’t unprecedented—it closely mirrors America’s 1989–1990 operation to arrest Panama’s dictator, Manuel Noriega. Back then, Noriega was indicted for drug trafficking, rejected a deal to step aside, lost a monitored election, and was ultimately seized by U.S. forces and brought to trial. Sound familiar? The parallels are striking, right down to the date: Noriega was captured on January 3, 1990—exactly 36 years before Maduro was taken into custody on January 3, 2026. 39:30 The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board says Minnesota’s massive welfare fraud scandal isn’t about Somali immigrants—it’s about a bloated welfare state that invites corruption. There’s some truth there. Big government does create big temptation. But that explanation stops short of the uncomfortable question: why is so much of this fraud concentrated in one specific demographic? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textPeaches and Trent break down the overnight U.S. operation in Venezuela that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife—without calling it what the internet wants it to be. This wasn't a declaration of war. It wasn't large-scale combat operations. It was a surgical joint mission executed by Special Operations with air, naval, intelligence, and law-enforcement support. They unpack why Congress approval isn't required, why “invasion” is the wrong word, what assets were likely involved, and why people suddenly pretending to care about sovereignty are full of it. Agree or disagree politically, this episode is about precision, legality, and respect for the professionals who executed it flawlessly.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and immediate reaction 01:55 What actually happened in Venezuela 03:45 This is not war—and why that matters 05:10 Surgical ops vs large-scale combat 07:30 Likely SOF and aviation assets involved 10:20 Capturing targets alive vs killing them 13:40 Joint ops, secrecy, and coordination 17:10 Why the outrage feels performative 20:45 Historical precedent (Noriega comparison) 24:30 What happens next and why details matter

The United States' decision to seize Nicolás Maduro and bring him to New York marks one of the most dramatic assertions of American power in the Western Hemisphere in decades. In this episode, I focused on what actually happened, why it happened now, and what it signals about how the Trump administration views regime change, legality, and leverage.The facts, as we know them, are stark. In a rapid operation lasting roughly two and a half hours, U.S. forces assisted federal authorities in arresting Maduro and removing him from Caracas. He now faces sweeping federal charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy and large-scale cocaine trafficking tied to terrorist organizations and major cartels. The indictment is notable not just for its scope, but for what it omits. There is no fentanyl count. This reinforces what many analysts suspected: the recent pressure campaign against Venezuela, including interdictions at sea, was less about opioids and more about systematically strangling Maduro's remaining sources of revenue until something broke.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.What broke appears to be internal loyalty. It is difficult to believe a head of state with military protection is removed this quickly without acquiescence from inside the regime. That reality shapes everything that comes next. Rather than immediately installing an opposition leader, the administration has left much of the existing government in place while asserting overwhelming control over money flows, shipping, and oil exports. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been careful to say the United States is not “running” Venezuela, while also making clear that the people still in charge have no meaningful freedom to act. This is not Iraq or Afghanistan. It more closely resembles Panama and the Noriega arrest: criminal charges paired with brute leverage, not nation building through occupation.The unanswered question is whether this produces reform or simply swaps one strongman arrangement for another. Venezuela remains a petrostate with enormous reserves, crumbling infrastructure, and a population exhausted by corruption and repression. Removing Maduro may be morally satisfying and strategically defensible, but history offers little comfort about what follows. This is a high-risk bet that coercion can force democratic outcomes without igniting prolonged instability. Whether that gamble pays off, or whether it opens the door to a different kind of failure, is the story that now begins.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:16 - Maduro's Arrest00:11:51 - Marco Rubio00:54:28 - Everyone Else01:10:08 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

What happens when a head of state is no longer treated as a political actor, but as a criminal defendant? In this episode of Profiling Evil, we walk through why U.S. federal prosecutors placed Nicolás Maduro in the same legal category as Manuel Noriega, and why comparisons to El Chapo often miss the mark. This video is not about whether the United States should act, it's about what actually happened, why these legal decisions were made, and how behavior, power, and entitlement shape the downfall of criminalized leaders. We'll explore how Noriega lost political immunity and why El Chapo is not the same as a dictator branded a criminal. Did these leaders misjudge their immunity? Let's examine the behaviors, the legal history, and true crime without politics.#ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #NarcoState #Dictators #ManuelNoriega #NicolasMaduro #Maduro #ElChapo #CriminalJustice #BehaviorAnalysis========================================20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/profilingevil========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

En la madrugada del sábado Caracas fue el escenario de la operación "Absolute Resolve", una incursión ejecutada por los Delta Force que capturaron a Nicolás Maduro y a su esposa, Cilia Flores. Tras pasar por la base de Guantánamo, el dictador aterrizó a última hora de la tarde en Nueva York custodiado por la DEA. En estos momentos Maduro se encuentra recluido en el Centro de Detención Metropolitano de Nueva York, donde recaen sobre él cuatro cargos muy graves que podrían acarrearle cadena perpetua. Tras el éxito de la operación, Donald Trump compareció en Mar-a-Lago para anunciar un giro político sorprendente. Rompiendo con su tradicional retórica aislacionista, el presidente aseguró que Estados Unidos asumirá el gobierno de Venezuela de manera indefinida hasta garantizar una transición adecuada. Este plan incluye la toma de control de la industria petrolera y la reconstrucción de una infraestructura que describió como podrida. Aunque Trump presentó la intervención como un acto benévolo para facilitar el regreso de millones de exiliados, su estrategia de construcción nacional plantea serios interrogantes sobre la viabilidad de gobernar un país de 26 millones de habitantes sin un gran despliegue de tropas terrestres. Esta postura contrasta con el tipo de intervenciones previas de su segundo mandato, que hasta ahora habían sido ataques aéreos quirúrgicos en países como Irak, Siria o Irán. Lo de Venezuela, en cambio, se perfila como un esfuerzo de ocupación prolongado, algo que trae a la memoria precedentes muy cercanos en el tiempo como Afganistán o Irak, donde las promesas de estabilidad democrática terminaron en procesos largos y accidentados con resultados cuestionables o abiertamente desastrosos. Son muchos ahora los que tratan de enmarcar la operación como un "Panamá 2.0", en referencia a la invasión de 1989 para capturar a Manuel Noriega. Pero es una comparación un tanto inexacta. Venezuela es doce veces más grande que Panamá y posee una geografía inmensamente más compleja. Mientras que en 1989 Estados Unidos operaba desde sus propias bases dentro del canal con miles de efectivos ya desplegados, en la Venezuela de 2026 debe empezar sin bases, sin jurisdicción propia y sin siquiera una embajada abierta. Además, la potencial resistencia es significativamente mayor: frente a los 15.000 efectivos de Noriega, Venezuela cuenta con un ejército profesional de 120.000 miembros y una milicia civil armada que podría activar una insurgencia de guerrilla urbana y terrorismo. El éxito de esta ambiciosa apuesta dependerá de la capacidad de Trump para transformar esta intervención en una política de Estado que cuente con el apoyo generalizado de los venezolanos y trascienda a su propio mandato. Aunque la justificación petrolera parece algo más material que puramente estratégico ya que EEUU es autosuficiente en ese aspecto, la verdadera ganancia reside en la estabilidad regional y la expulsión de la influencia de China en Hispanoamérica. Si el nuevo gobierno tutelado logra estabilizar la economía y restaurar la democracia, no solo se pondrá fin a décadas de fracaso del socialismo del siglo XXI, sino que se enviará un mensaje de disuasión definitivo a otros regímenes autoritarios, dejando de paso a la camarilla castrista en Cuba en una situación de aislamiento terminal.

Legal expert Hans von Spakovsky joins Mark, Kim, and Ethan to unpack the legal legitimacy behind the U.S. capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. Drawing direct parallels to the 1989 Noriega precedent, Hans explains why Trump's move was fully constitutional and backed by decades of case law, even with a Clinton-appointed judge now overseeing the trial. The team raises sharp questions about jurisdiction, Mexico's cartel problem, and the reemergence of Trump's “Monroe Doctrine.” Hans also previews key upcoming Supreme Court cases on tariffs and transgender participation in women's sports, calling 2026 a potential legal roller coaster year. #HansVonSpakovsky #Maduro #Trump #LegalAnalysis #SupremeCourt #MarkCoxMorningShow

The plan eliminated the federal tax on tips and overtime pay for linemen and factory workers, and created a new deduction for seniors relying on Social Security. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called it “the most pro-worker, pro-family legislation in a generation.”   several blue-state governors were refusing to reciprocate by eliminating state taxes on tips, including Govs. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.), J.B. Pritzker (D-Ill.), and Jared Polis (D-Colo.). Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused them of “deliberately blocking their own residents” from the bill's benefits at the state level. Bessent made clear that states that refused to comply with the law should expect consequences. “Treasury stands ready to work with any state committed to delivering on that promise, but we will not stand idly by as this obstructionism drags down the national recovery,” he said. “This is about fairness. This is about opportunity. And this is about putting America first, starting with the families and workers who make our economy the envy of the world.” Kathy Hochul has now caved. On New Year's Day, she announced that New York will finally move to exempt service workers' tips from state income taxes on up to $25,000 in tipped income.   “Starting today, tax rates for the vast majority of lower and middle-class New Yorkers will be cut, families with children will see a sweeping increase in the child tax credit, and minimum wage workers across the state will see their wages go up. I'm kicking the new year off with a proposal of no state income tax on tips, continuing my efforts to make New York more affordable for hard working New Yorkers.” The change comes only after months of outrage from restaurant owners and service workers who accused Albany of putting politics ahead of paychecks. Service industry workers noticed and called it a slap in the face to people barely scraping by in such an expensive state.   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2007496574889537687?s=20 https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2007500910277325260?s=20 https://twitter.com/TKL_Adam/status/2007468568619696559?s=20  damaged last night. On top of this, President Trump says the US will be “very much involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry going forward and China is “going to get oil.” In 2010, Venezuela was producing over 3 million barrels of oil per day, now down to ~900,000. If the US truly takes control of Venezuela’s oil industry, MUCH more supply is coming to market. Oil and gas prices would head much lower.

Bush, aimed at deposing Noriega and bringing him to face U.S. charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, and racketeering.  To pressure Noriega into surrendering, U.S. psychological operations teams blasted loud rock music—including tracks like Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle,” Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” and Van Halen’s “Panama”—at the embassy nonstop, contributing to his decision to give up.   He was immediately flown to Miami, where he stood trial, was convicted in 1992, and initially sentenced to 40 years in prison (later reduced).  After serving time in the U.S., Noriega was extradited to France in 2010 for money laundering charges, and finally to Panama in 2011 to face additional sentences for murder, corruption, and human rights abuses during his rule.   He died in Panama in 2017 while under house arrest for medical reasons.   The invasion itself involved around 25,000 U.S. troops, resulting in 23 American deaths, hundreds wounded, and estimates of 200–4,000 Panamanian civilian casualties, drawing international criticism despite achieving its primary objective. https://twitter.com/BillAckman/status/2007796748631314839?s=20 https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/2007549887098040495?s=20  https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2007518675641983427?s=20   advance. Trump Admin's Top Secret Maduro Military Operation Plans Reportedly Leaked To Legacy Media Outlets Despite an unidentified party leaking plans of the Trump administration's top secret military operation targeting Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela to both The New York Times and the Washington Post, neither publication decided to expose it, Semafor reported Saturday night. Two anonymous sources, described as familiar with the communication between the administration and media outlets, told Semafor that both outlets declined to break the news on the operation before it happened out of concern for U.S. troops involved. The military incursion, carried out early Saturday, resulted in the capture and ouster of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, whom a grand jury later indicted on four charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy. The identity of the leaker or leakers was not made public as of Sunday morning.

Under Maduro, Venezuela had become the Latin American crossroads for all of the USA’s principal enemies. Maduro was nurturing relationships with Russia, Hezbollah and Iran. Worst of all, Venezuela was eagerly becoming a part of Red China’s Belt & Road initiative. As America’s enemies were lining up Venezuela as their base of operations in the Western Hemisphere to cause mischief and destruction for the USA, Maduro was at the same time making Venezuela a crossroads, safe haven and enabler for all manner of narcoterrorist operations, ranging from Colombia’s FARC to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel. On top of all that, Venezuela had become a key player in the illegal alien invasion of the USA, shipping its very worst to the USA in a deliberate and comprehensive destabilizing operation that might have worked had Donald Trump not won in 2024. Next in importance: oil. The global and regional ambitions of both China and Russia are in large part dependent on the politics of petroleum, and the USA just deprived both of the cudgel afforded by friendly Venezuelan oil. Trump opponents say “It’s about oil” as if that was a bad thing. Yeah, it’s about oil. Finally, all of this was in keeping with the most essential and fundamental foreign policy mandate of the USA almost since the nation’s inception: the Monroe Doctrine. Operations like what Maduro was running simply cannot be allowed in the Western Hemisphere. Trump was right for falling back on this most basic of doctrines that protects the USA’s sovereignty. So was Maduro seized because of some five year-old drug charges? Yes. Legally–yes. However, like so many strategic issues in the world today, an action needed to be backed by the fine points of law, and it was. But the reality is that the Maduro takedown was a Monroe Doctrine-driven necessity that has greatly enhanced the power and national security of the USA.

Faced with a fresh protest movement 16-plus years later led by street vendors, President Donald Trump has taken the opposite tact in a robust embrace of everyday Iranians that caught the attention of Tehran. If Iran “violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue,” Trump wrote in a 3 a.m. post Friday on his TruthSocial platform. “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”  The president was not more specific about his intentions, but Iranian dissidents and non-official Trump advisers cheered the statement and said it set the stage for tougher sanctions or other actions by the administration. Interesting Timing – Zelenskyy Planning to Remove Head of the Security Service of Ukraine This is very interesting timing considering the recent denial by Zelenskyy that Ukraine had anything to do with the attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence. According to Politico, Zelenskyy is removing Vasyl Malyuk as head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the state's top counterintelligence agency. Malyuk previously worked with British intelligence on operation “Spiderweb” where Ukrainian drones hit Russia's strategic bombers on several protected airfields (USA not informed).

In this explosive episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco welcomes back Juan O Savin for a deep-intel breakdown of one of the most consequential geopolitical moments unfolding behind the scenes. Juan analyzes reports surrounding a high-stakes military operation involving Nicolás Maduro, examining how Special Forces tactics, internal intelligence assets, and coordinated strategy mirror historic missions such as the takedown of Noriega. The conversation explores how modern operations rely on layered intelligence, timing, and psychological pressure—not just force. From there, Michael and Juan widen the lens to the Iran–Cuba–Venezuela axis, international drug trafficking networks, and how these global actors intersect with election interference, corruption, and power struggles closer to home. They discuss leadership failures in places like Colorado, the Tina Peters case, and why domestic political battles cannot be separated from global intelligence warfare. The episode also connects these developments to Trump-era policies, strategic deterrence, and why certain operations only become possible when the geopolitical board is properly set. This is not surface-level commentary. It's a strategic overview of how global conflicts, covert operations, and local politics are deeply intertwined—and why understanding that connection matters now more than ever.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports Maduro's case will revive a legal debate over immunity for foreign leaders tested in Noriega trial.

Un repaso a la historia permite apreciar las diferencias entre lo ocurrido con Noriega en Panamá en 1989 y la situación actual en torno a Maduro y Venezuela.

As U.S. military forces pile up in the Caribbean, pressuring Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to run, the obvious comparison comes up with the 1989 invasion of Panama to take out dictator Manuel Noriega. This makes perfect timing for a remarkable new book by journalist Cillian Dunne about Noriega through the eyes of his right hand man, and as Cillian says “attack dog,” Carlos Wittgreen. A young writer from Dublin, Cillian gained extraordinary access to Carlos and to his trove of documents, right before Carlos died a few months ago. The story of Noriega is fascinating and complex, how he was a CIA and DEA asset yet also worked with the Medellín Cartel, how he played off Washington and Cuba, and had a personal dispute with George H. W. Bush who took him down with a shower of bombs and rock music. Carlos is at the center of this drama while leading his own crazy life in the shadow world, getting training from the United States and Mossad and ending up in a Peruvian prison. Sometimes the world chooses you to tell these surreal stories, and it did with Cillian, who makes a great guest on the CrashOut Podcast and takes us down some jaw dropping avenues. You can find Cillian's book and info at: https://www.therighthandmanbook.com/ Check out more on Ioan Grillo and CrashOut Podcast at: www.crashoutmedia.comSupport the show

Entrevista Carolina Noriega (Komedia Fest)

La Dra. Ivette Noriega, Investigadora Asociada Sénior en el Centro Begun para la Investigación y Educación en Prevención de la Violencia, Escuela de Ciencias Sociales Aplicadas Jack, Joseph y Morton Mandel, conversó con Lorena Mora-Mowry sobre su experiencia como latina fronteriza. Creció en familias y comunidades con experiencias binacionales, lo que le inculcó un sentido de sacrificio diario para acceder a la educación. La Dra. Noriega estudió la secundaria en El Paso, Texas, y comenzó sus estudios universitarios en premedicina en Texas Tech University. Sin embargo, el inicio de la guerra del narcotráfico en México la llevó a descubrir su pasión por la psicología. Observó la disminución de los factores de protección debido al aumento de la violencia y su impacto en los niños, especialmente los adolescentes, durante este período. Esta violencia llamó su atención porque había poca investigación sobre niños latinos expuestos a este tipo de violencia. Si bien existían estudios sobre Irlanda, Siria y otros países, había una escasez de investigación sobre niños latinos, y reconoció que habría tanto diferencias como similitudes con estas otras poblaciones. La Dra. Noriega se interesó en la beca Fulbright del Departamento de Estado por la oportunidad de intercambio cultural para científicos e investigadores estadounidenses. Conoció a colombianos, como reporteros y científicos, que le contaron sobre la violencia en Medellín en los ochenta y los programas para ayudar a niños y adolescentes con su salud mental y la exposición a la violencia. Tras un rechazo inicial, trabajó con profesores e investigadores y recibió la beca para 2017-2018. En Medellín, vivió en Itagüí, donde recopiló datos, escaneó cerebros y realizó pruebas psicométricas con estudiantes de bachillerato y secundaria para estudiar el impacto de la violencia en su cerebro y memoria. Completó su doctorado y actualmente realiza su postdoctorado en el Centro Begun para la Investigación y Educación en Prevención de la Violencia, Escuela de Ciencias Sociales Aplicadas Jack, Joseph y Morton Mandel en Cleveland. En Cleveland, la Dra. Noriega trabaja con niños expuestos a violencia, enfatizando que la violencia comunitaria afecta a todos, independientemente de la comunidad. Esta violencia puede ocurrir fuera del hogar y la escuela, aumentando la probabilidad de que los niños experimenten violencia doméstica o en la escuela. La Dra. Noriega destaca que la violencia comunitaria no discrimina y puede afectar a cualquier persona, incluidos los niños. También aborda el trauma intergeneracional, donde los padres o abuelos lidian con el trauma de sus hijos expuestos a la violencia. Además, discute el uso de sustancias ilícitas, que puede surgir de traumas, carencias o como medio para reprimir el hambre. La Dra. Noriega concluye la entrevista con un mensaje a la comunidad: “Manténganse conectados, apoyados y dedicados el tiempo”. Participen en eventos comunitarios que ofrezcan información relevante. Hay organizaciones maravillosas en todo Ohio que apoyan a la comunidad latina. No tengan miedo de pedir ayuda. Busquen en línea recursos como ‘casa para latinos' o ‘hogar para latinos'. También pueden encontrar recursos en ferias de salud y al llamar al 211 para obtener apoyo en situaciones de crisis. Si identifican un problema, no se queden callados. Busquen a alguien con quien se sientan seguros y apoyados, y vinculen con servicios que puedan ayudarlos.

The U.S.-led military coalition that expelled Saddam Hussein's armies from Kuwait in 1990-91 is usually remembered as the first major conflict of a post-Cold War world. But it was not the first time during those heady days that the U.S. invaded a country to get rid of a dictator in the name of human rights and the rule of law. That was Panama in 1989, a short war that would seem relevant now, as the Trump administration seeks regime change in a different Latin American country, Venezuela. In this episode, historian Alex Aviña reminds us why the rise and fall of Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega, a longtime CIA asset and drug trafficker, matters.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Hace dos semanas, la oposición venezolana recibió una noticia alentadora: habían concedido a María Corina Machado el Premio Nobel de la Paz por su incansable lucha por recuperar la democracia en Venezuela tras más de 25 años de chavismo. El Comité Noruego reconoció no solo su liderazgo personal, sino también el esfuerzo de millones de ciudadanos que se movilizaron en torno a ella durante las elecciones presidenciales del año pasado. La oposición logró una victoria abrumadora, pero el régimen la robó de forma descarada. Eso al menos dejó claro al mundo que el fraude electoral es la norma en la Venezuela de Maduro. A pesar del simbolismo del Nobel, lo cierto es que las perspectivas de una transición pacífica siguen siendo inciertas. Machado mantiene vínculos muy estrechos con figuras como el secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, pero la actitud de Donald Trump hasta ahora ha sido contradictoria. Durante sus primeros meses fue meramente transaccional hasta que en agosto anunció un gran despliegue naval en el Caribe compuesto por siete barcos de guerra, un submarino, helicópteros, drones y cazas F-35 que operan desde Puerto Rico. De camino se encuentra el portaaviones Gerald Ford, y el destructor Gravely se ha posicionado en la isla de Trinidad, a sólo a 10 kilómetros de las costas venezolanas. Oficialmente el despliegue es para controlar el narcotráfico, pero a nadie se le oculta su naturaleza política. Trump ha autorizado operaciones encubiertas de la CIA en Venezuela y, al ser interrogado sobre ataques directos, ha respondido con evasivas. Machado, por su parte, asegura en videos subidos a las redes sociales que el régimen “está acabado” y ha pedido de forma explícita ayuda a EEUU. A partir de aquí se dibujan tres posibles escenarios. El primero una rebelión interna: militares descontentos que agiten los cuarteles junto a manifestaciones multitudinarias que terminen derribando a Maduro. EEUU podría brindar apoyo logístico y de inteligencia. Pero este escenario es improbable. La represión postelectoral ha sido brutal. Machado está escondida. Edmundo González Urrutia y Leopoldo López viven en Madrid. El resto de la oposición está dividida. El ejército no es monolítico, pero sus altos oficiales son chavistas leales y los rangos intermedios se encuentran muy vigilados. El segundo escenario sería un ataque directo de EEUU que culmine con la captura de Maduro, algo similar a lo que sucedió con Noriega en Panamá allá por 1989. Pero Venezuela es muy grande, su geografía compleja y dispone de defensas aéreas. Neutralizarlas implicaría fuego directo, lo que podría derivar en una guerra prolongada que degenere en una guerra civil. El tercero, y más probable de los escenarios es que no ocurra nada. Maduro lo fía todo a que Trump se canse, declare una victoria contra el narcotráfico y opte por volver a la vía diplomática. Ahí podría recuperar su plan de 2020, el Marco de Transición Democrática que proponía una transición ordenada mediante elecciones libres a cambio de retirar las sanciones, pero no hubo voluntad por la parte chavista. Revivirlo requeriría acuerdos verificables con plazos medibles. El despliegue naval es útil como herramienta de presión para llegar hasta ese punto, pero lo cierto es que el régimen no está dispuesto a conceder nada.

Ostensibly to stop cartel shipments. Are they about to make a Noriega of Maduro? Finally, in Britain, the bond yield has hit a thirty year high.

Roberto Diaz Herrera Jr. was born into the rigid confines of macho Latin American culture, where strength, sex, and violence were the defining traits of manhood. Raised in Panama under the shadow of his father—Colonel Roberto Diaz Herrera, the former Chief of Staff and close ally to dictator Manuel Noriega—he was expected to embody the same ideals of dominance and aggression. In a world where compassion and vulnerability were seen as weakness, he was constantly reminded, “You are the son of a tiger.” For him, Noriega wasn't just a political figure—he was Uncle Tony. You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession. And it's free! Check it out here: https://bit.ly/4jGBeSaThe Trauma Therapist Podcast:  I interview thought-leaders in the fields of trauma, mindfulness, addiction and yoga such as Peter Levine, Pat Ogden, Bessel van der Kolk and Bruce Perry. https://bit.ly/3VRNy8zBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, desplegó tres buques de guerra cerca de las costas de Venezuela como parte de sus esfuerzos para combatir el tráfico de drogas. Al menos, así lo asegura una fuente cercana a la operación en el Caribe. Una operación que se produce después de que Nicolás Maduro fuera acusado por Washington de liderar el Cartel de los Soles. La prensa estadounidense publicó que Washington manda a 4.000 marines a la zona. Los operativos militares de Donald Trump en aguas latinoamericanas y del Caribe han encendido las alarmas en una región con un largo historial de intervenciones e invasiones estadounidenses. La presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, defendió el principio de no intervención. Entrevistado por Radio Francia Internacional, Víctor Mijares, profesor de Estudios Globales de la Universidad de los Andes en Colombia, considera que Estados Unidos está enviando un mensaje que corresponde a la llamada 'diplomacia coercitiva o diplomacia violenta'. Analizamos con el experto la situación. . RFI: ¿Hasta dónde se podría pensar que este escenario en el Caribe es el preludio de una nueva invasión de Estados Unidos en América Latina? Víctor Mijares: En primer lugar, esto tiene que ver sobre todo con una operación naval. ¿Hay marines? Sí. Es decir, hay soldados de infantería que son para tierra, pero hasta el momento se mantiene como una operación naval. Es, por supuesto, algo un poco inusual, el volumen y el poder de fuego de estos buques. Pero, claramente, se quiere mandar un mensaje político en cuanto a que Estados Unidos va a seguir y va a volver a tener presencia en el Caribe. En ningún momento se ha hablado de intervención directa a los países, ni siquiera en el caso venezolano. Se ha hablado sobre todo del tema de interdicción y si tomamos en consideración el volumen de marinos y de infantería de Marina que están involucrados en esto, en realidad no alcanza para hacer una invasión. Estamos hablando de 4.000 o 4.500. Y recordemos que, en el 89, cuando se invadió y se ocupó y se derrocó a Noriega en Panamá, llegaron a ser casi 30.000. RFI: ¿No hay capacidad militar suficiente para una intervención? De entrada, no parece haber un volumen suficiente como para una ocupación de un país para hacer un desembarco. Los barcos que están allí tampoco hacen desembarco. Además, tenemos otro precedente. El famoso taco, el Trump ‘always check out', la posibilidad de que Trump siempre se echa para atrás. O sea, que se acobarda o como lo quieras traducir. RFI: La operación incluye marines, Comando Sur y un submarino nuclear, ¿porque un despliegue de tal magnitud para combatir las rutas del narcotráfico en el Mar Caribe? Víctor Mijares: En realidad esto parece ser un despliegue muy grandilocuente, muy exuberante, pero no lo es tanto desde el punto de vista operacional. Esto parece ser parte de lo que tradicionalmente hemos visto en el último año de la administración Trump que está dividida entre sectores petroleros mucho más pragmáticos que se entienden con Nicolás Maduro, que se entienden con cualquiera, con tal de hacer negocios minero energéticos. Y, por otra parte, un sector, cuya cabeza visible sería Marco Rubio, que trata constantemente de mantener agitadas las aguas en función de su base electoral que está principalmente en la Florida, sobre todo en el sur de la Florida. Estoy hablando de cubanos, pero también de colombianos, de venezolanos y otros latinoamericanos que quieren que haya presión militar contra los gobiernos de Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, principalmente, y,en menor medida, Colombia, porque también ven a Gustavo Petro como una amenaza en ese sentido. El mensaje de esta operación militar estadounidense responde a la 'diplomacia coercitiva o diplomacia violenta' que consiste en mandar mensajes muy contundentes dicendo que 'Maduro es un fugitivo de la justicia y que no es el presidente legítimo de Venezuela'; pero, al mismo tiempo, renuevo las licencias y no envío ningún tipo de fuerza de desembarque creible como para lograr un cambio de gobierno.

In this episode you will hear: • You're gonna make it no matter what happens. You just have to believe. And the Navy doesn't train that into you. (12:58) • In order to make it through BUDS, you gotta believe you can do it. (13:45) • People quit when they don't believe. (16:02) • The job is being miserable, cold, wet, tired. You still have to perform. (18:50) • Hell week is what separates us from the rest of them [other Special Forces]. It gives you a weird mental ability that no other training can give you. (20:03) • Everybody compares themselves to SEALS. SEALS don't compare themselves to anybody else. (20:48) • We have to train so hard that no matter what we do, we're way better at it than anyone else. (24:19) • When we do actually go into combat, combat is easier than the training. 24:09) • My desire was for their best interest [as an instructor]. We're gonna train hard, but we're gonna stick together. You need to know why you're doing what you're doing. (30:00) • You need to be training everybody that is below you to replace you. (33:43) • As the leader, I'll help who needs help. (36:13) • I don't want to talk specific tactics because there's still guys on active duty deploying those tactics. I don't want the enemy to hear it. (49:07) • [Marcus] If you close your eyes and drop underwater, you know how many kicks it takes to get 100 yards. (50:30) • Okay, this is why we've been doing what we're doing. We're getting on the C141, and that night, we're getting in the water and we are diving on these boats. (66:13) • If something happens, it's my fault. If we didn't get there, it's my fault. If we got compromised, it's my fault. I'm not gonna sit there going “it's his fault.” (76:07) • Once we go in the water, it over, that boat is blowing up. (78:55) • There has to be a level of finality to whatever you're doing. If I don't do this correctly, things aren't gonna work out so well.
