In this episode, we chat with Dominic Duggan, CEO of Patriot Resources, a junior miner exploring for precious metals, copper and lithium across South America (Tassa), Zambia, Africa (Kitumba project) and in Canada. Dom has moved from the technical and operational side of mining into the CEO role, so we talk about how that changes the way you think from evaluating rocks to allocating capital and prioritising projects across multiple jurisdictions. We also get into what actually needs to be proven early to turn a project into a real development opportunity, the technical signals that justify expanding a drilling program, and why time on site often tells you more than a presentation ever can. We also discuss permitting, community engagement, capital discipline, and the kind of leader he's consciously trying to be and much more.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Engaging meaningfully with communities can facilitate permitting processes and create mutual benefits, rather than viewing community engagement as a hurdle. Patriot Resources is prioritising its Tassa project in Peru, which has shown promising results with a maiden resource of 31 million ounces of silver equivalent Before committing to larger drill programs, the company looks for specific technical signals, such as consistent mineralization and the presence of sulfides Dom aims to be an authentic and approachable leader, focusing on understanding the operations and engaging with the investor community BEST MOMENTS "We're fortunate that there's been a relationship there for a number of years with the local community, but it's certainly something that we're looking to build on and get right from the outset." "The silver price has been really well supported. We certainly share a long-term view around a new price equilibrium or floor, away from the historical lows." "There are some technical signals that the team are seeing there, like the presence of sulfides in multiple locations, sort of consistent mineralization." "I certainly want to live the experience and spend as much time with the teams and in the assets as possible."

The hours of the morning have already taken their toll. The mind feels stretched, the heart feels thin, and strength feels smaller than it needs to be. But here we speak Your name — Jesus, Jesús, Jesus — the name that restores, the name that lifts, the name that breathes courage back into tired places. Meet every listener now with renewed strength and gentle power. Your Word declares that because we love You, You will rescue us and protect us. So, Jesus, come into the heaviness of this midday moment. Lift the one who feels they cannot continue. Strengthen the one who is quietly fighting battles others cannot see. Bring rest to the anxious heart and clarity to the overwhelmed mind. Jesus, Tu me fortaleces. Jesús, Tú renuevas mi espíritu. Let this moment become a turning point in the centre of the day. “He restores my soul.” “Refrigera a minha alma.” Restore us inwardly where fatigue settles deepest. Let hope rise again. Let the noise inside us quiet. Let confidence return. And in the places where weakness feels like failure, remind us that Your grace is sufficient — graça suficiente, gracia suficiente — more than enough for every demand, every pressure, every unseen weight. Jesus, breathe courage into this hour. Renew strength where it has been draining away. Lift weary hands, steady trembling hearts, and empower each listener to walk through the rest of the day with resilience shaped by Your love.

ATTENTION ADVENTURERS! Presenting almost seven hours of music and amusing announcements from Madame Phoole's Panharmonium live at the 2026 Gardens and Gears Steampunk Faire in Milwaukee's beautiful Mitchell Park Domes Horticultural Conservatory! Recorded live on Saturday, 7 March 2026. The 2026 theme was "Modern Wonders of the World," so sounds evoke the Pyramids at Giza, Chichen Itza in Peru, the Great Wall of China, the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, and travel to exotic locales in general, with dashes of bal-musette, vals criollo, tango, and Jazz Manouche, along with plenty of crowd-pleasing Dixieland jazz and Tin-Pan-Alley ragtime piano. The event took place in a giant glass dome, which was connected to two other giant glass domes, each of which contained immersive botanical gardens. The Show Dome, in which Mme. Phoole performed, also housed an exhibit of model trains, the tracks for which wended their way in and out amongst the foliage, so tunes about trains are sprinkled throughout. The cavernous, echoing venue suggests to Madame Phoole a multi-modal station for every kind of steam travel, so the goofy, pseudo-British-dialect announcements interspersed amongst the tunes are themed to H.G. Wells-esque kinds of travel and adventure. Phoole and Tiffany play a lot of Walkabout Mini Golf in virtual reality, so a few of our favorite compositions by Chris Reyman from that game's soundtrack make cameo appearances. Because the States are still steeping in a very 1933-in-Germany zeitgeist, many 1930s tunes performed by Max Raabe & Palast Orchester are played, along with a too-brief dip into Chap-Hop.

The "Yunarmiya" or 'Youth army' is a movement that was founded in January 2016 by the Russian government. In total, more than 1.8 million children in Russia have joined the movement. As of May 2025, more than 120,000 Youth Army graduates served in the Russian army and other security forces. The Youth Army is also actively recruting Ukrainian children in occupied regions of the country. This began in parts of Ukraine even before Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, in places like Crimea and Donbas. The children are taught to sing the Russian national anthem; kiss the Russian flag; dig trenches and handle guns. Zhanna Bezpiatchuk of BBC Ukrainian has been looking into how these Youth Armies operate in occupied regions of Ukraine. Simon Bolivar was a nineteenth century soldier and statesman who led six countries - Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Panama - to independence from the Spanish empire and earned himself the title of ‘El Libertador', the liberator. He left a huge legacy in South America and is still considered by many as a revolutionary hero. Growing up in Venezuela, Juan Alosno of BBC Mundo was very familiar with Bolivar's mythology, because it was taught to him in school. Even as a child, there were a couple of details that just didn't stack up for him.... so he set out to investigate. At the end of January this year, 6 people were caned in public for violating Sharia law in Aceh, Indonesia. Caning is a common punishment for breaking Islamic law in religiously conservative Aceh, although the practice has drawn criticism from rights groups who say it's cruel. Aceh has a unique identity within Indonesia, and is the only part of the country to practice Sharia. Astudestra Ajengrastri of BBC Indonesian explains Aceh's history and why it chooses to be different from the rest of Indonesia. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world. Presented by Faranak Amidi. Produced by Laura Thomas and Caroline Ferguson(Photo: Faranak Amidi. Credit: Tricia Yourkevich.)

Our first storyteller is Rad Wilkins, who as a wildlife biologist embraced the title of “poop ologist” and carried a pungent, fermented concoction called “the brew” into the backcountry to entice grizzly bears. When the love of his life came to visit his remote camp, he had to quickly learn the true rules of bear country before a romantic proposal turned into a terrifying, close encounter in a story that he calls “Wild Proposals”. Rad Watkins is a lifelong nature lover and conservationist based in Missoula, Montana. He currently serves as Executive Director of the Missoula Conservation District, where he helps lead efforts to protect local streams, wildlife, and working lands. His career has taken him from the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest studying endangered seabirds, to Glacier National Park collecting grizzly bear DNA, to the Northwoods of Wisconsin tracking wolves and rehabbing bald eagles. Rad also loves personal development, and he's a certified life coach who does some leadership speaking and training. At home, he, his wife Gretchen, and their kids, Lena and Norris, enjoy doing what Montanans do best: floating rivers, skiing, hiking, and spending time outdoors with their dogs and horses. You can find Rad on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. In our next story, Bridget Feerick flies thousands of miles to Peru and connects with a mysterious, motorcycling solo traveler. With a language barrier, a gut feeling, and a wild invitation to ride with him to Canada, she must decide if taking a leap of faith is worth the risk of a true-life adventure. Bridget calls her story “My Gut Says WHAT!?…and it was Awesome!” Thanks for listening. Bridget Feerick started her journey on this planet being born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. She traveled the world before making her home in Missoula, Montana and has continued to explore this country and the world beyond. Her passion for the outdoors is matched by a deep commitment to community engagement and social justice. Bridget holds people in transitions using her intuitive powers as an organizer, cleaner, birth/postpartum/death doula, yoga instructor, herbalist, reiki and sound healing practitioner, and so on and so forth. Oh, and she likes to get weird whether it’s through her performance art pieces or just trying to be free in a world with too many boxes. She hopes to empower and inspire as many people as she can to tap into their own intuitive powers. Trying to escape the dark Missoula winter, a staycation house-sitting gig promises a hot tub and mountain views for Marc Moss, and instead, delivers freezing temperatures and the demanding care of a dog, a cat, and eleven chickens. What starts as a simple favor quickly turns into a crisis when a frantic call from Chile reveals an unfortunate fire and a scramble to rehouse the traumatized poultry. Marc calls his story “The Girls”. Marc Moss founded Tell Us Something in 2011 and lives with his life partner, Joyce, and their perpetual kitten, Ziggy on Missoula's historic Northside. While trekking deep into the Bob Marshall Wilderness to photograph the monumental Chinese Wall, Brian Christianson finally slows down to appreciate the remote mountain solitude with his partner. When a tiny movement catches their eye, they hold their breath for what could be the wildlife encounter of a lifetime. Brian calls his story “Ridge Lessons”. Brian Christianson's love for mountains began on the pages of books while growing up in Southern Minnesota. A family trip to Colorado at age 10 confirmed the future: mountains or bust. He proceeded to study photography and geography at the University of Colorado before moving to Montana in 2008. Brian works as a nature photographer with a curiosity for wilderness in Western Montana. He shares a life with his wife Linds and cat Roo.

In this episode, I'm super excited for you to hear from Gracia Sotomayor. You may remember Gracia from her appearance on the podcast last November in Episode 707, where we talked about pursuing your dreams, no matter how unconventional. Born in Lima, Peru, Gracia discovered artistic cycling through a magazine photo and was captivated by the concentration and control required. With no resources available in Spanish, she taught herself and eventually moved to Germany to master the sport. She has competed in the UCI Cycling World Championships and became the first person to translate the official rulebook into Spanish. As an ambassador for artistic cycling, Gracia has promoted the sport across Latin America and been featured in international media. Through her speaking, she shares how embracing inner power, taking unconventional paths, and helping others can lead to personal transformation and lasting impact. In her inspiring talk, "My Bike, Love, and Empowerment," she explores: Building self-trust through challenging yourself Making fear a companion rather than a barrier, and aligning your actions with your dreams How personal transformation can ripple outward to create societal impact Why breaking free from limiting beliefs is ongoing work More from Gracia Sotomayor Her first appearance on The Big Talk podcast in Episode 707 Her talk on The Big Talk Academy Stage in NYC Website: https://www.graciasotomayor.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/graciasotomayor/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gracia-sotomayor-v/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracia.sotomayor/  More from Tricia  Publish your book with The Big Talk Press Join my complimentary monthly workshop  Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com

Interview with David Stein, President & CEO of Kuya SilverOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/kuya-silver-kuya-buy-cheap-sell-high-silver-developer-717Recording date: 3rd March 2026Kuya Silver (TSXV:KUYA) is a silver producer operating the Bethania Silver Mine in central Peru, and it is approaching one of the most consequential periods in its short history. The company has production underway, a mill acquisition closing imminently, a fully funded balance sheet, and an exploration programme just getting started. Kuya began processing silver concentrate through the Camila toll mill in late 2024. In January 2026, the company announced it would acquire Camila outright for approximately $9 million including planned improvements, closing expected before the end of March. Owning the facility eliminates third-party processing fees, reduces operational risk, provides access to lower-cost hydro-grid power, and creates an opportunity to generate third-party processing revenue from smaller regional miners. The logistics are already in place as Camila sits on the route between the mine and the export port, meaning nothing about the physical operation changes at closing, only the economics.Following the acquisition and approximately $3 million in additional near-term capital expenditure  covering underground drilling and a new mine ramp, Kuya expects to hold roughly $12–15 million on its balance sheet. With production scaling and costs now more firmly under the company's control, management does not anticipate requiring further equity financing in the near term. That is a meaningful statement for a company of this size.The growth optionality behind the production story is substantial. Kuya has expanded its land position from the original 45-hectare Bethania mine property to approximately 4,500 hectares. Surface prospecting has already identified six additional silver vein systems within a five-kilometre radius of the mine. Underground drilling is targeting a 50-metre-at-a-time extension of the existing resource, with an estimated one million ounces of silver potentially added per 10 metres drilled. A surface drill rig is expected to be mobilised in Q3 2026, with a second potentially following before year-end. The stated three-year target is 100 million ounces of silver would represent a transformation of the company's resource base and market profile.Longer term, Kuya's vision is to operate two 350-tonne-per-day processing facilities (Camila and a future permitted plant at Bethania) producing approximately three million ounces of silver per year by 2028. Both facilities are either owned or permitted. The capital to build the Bethania plant is expected to come from operating cash flow rather than equity markets.The re-rating catalyst is the first profitable quarter, which management expects within one to two reporting periods. At current silver prices, that quarter may land with more force than many investors currently anticipate. Companies of Kuya's profile, once they demonstrate sustained cash generation, have historically attracted a different class of investor and a different valuation framework. That transition appears imminent.View Kuya Silver's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kuya-silverSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Episode 784: Future Humans, Urban Legends & the Amazon's Boiling River Are UFOs actually… us? This week on The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro dive headfirst into one of the most unsettling and scientifically grounded UFO theories you've probably never seriously considered: what if “alien grays” aren't extraterrestrials at all—but future humans traveling back in time? Drawing from the work of biological anthropologist Dr. Michael P. Masters and his “extratempestrial” hypothesis, we explore how reported alien anatomy—large craniums, smaller jaws, reduced musculature, oversized dark eyes—might align disturbingly well with projected human evolution. If technology continues to shape our bodies, if artificial environments replace natural selection, and if reproductive trends continue to decline (with documented sperm count drops of 50–60% since the 1970s), could humanity biologically transform within 50,000–100,000 years into something that looks eerily like the beings reported in UFO encounters? And if that's the case… why would they come back? We unpack the reproductive crisis angle, the strange fixation on DNA in abduction lore, and the possibility that UFO “craft” aren't spacecraft at all—but space-time manipulation devices. Is time travel actually the more conservative explanation compared to faster-than-light travel? What would survival look like for a technologically advanced but biologically fragile future civilization? Then, because we love tonal whiplash, we pivot to something equally bizarre but undeniably real: the legendary Boiling River of the Amazon. Deep in Peru's rainforest flows Shanay-Timpishka, a river so hot it can nearly boil living creatures alive—reaching temperatures close to 200°F in certain stretches. Far from any volcano, this geothermal marvel has been documented by geoscientist Andrés Ruzo and remains steeped in Indigenous legend involving Yacumama, the great serpent spirit said to shape the waters. We explore the science, the myth, and why protecting “neat things” like a four-mile-long boiling river might matter more than we realize. From evolutionary biology to paranormal lore, from time machines to steaming rainforest rivers, this episode proposes one uncomfortable idea: If future humans are visiting us, they aren't here to save us or punish us. They're here because something survives… and something doesn't. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Netherlands has its youngest ever Prime Minister. Liberal technocrat Rob Jetten is also openly gay - a big win for diversity. But can the VVD survive in coalition without meaningful agricultural reforms? Meanwhile, in Kazakhstan, wheat futures are up almost nine percent since September. We'll be asking whether transitory commodities inflation in the Stans is the big story we've all been missing. Finally, the little known African country of Bapetikotsweti has signed a memorandum of understanding with Peru. It includes bilateral tariff reductions on soy beans and electric toothbrushes.

Jeffrey Epstein's activities in Central and South America remain one of the least examined yet most revealing aspects of his global predation network. Testimony from Maritza Vázquez, a former employee of Jean-Luc Brunel's MC2 agency, describes a structured pipeline that funneled dozens of vulnerable young girls from countries like Peru and Brazil into the United States under the guise of modeling opportunities. According to Vázquez, these regions were not only recruitment grounds but also sites of direct abuse, where Epstein and Brunel allegedly exploited extreme poverty, weak oversight, and institutional indifference. The pattern closely mirrors Brunel's operations in Eastern Europe, suggesting a standardized, repeatable trafficking model rather than isolated misconduct. Taken together, the evidence points to a deliberate strategy of targeting populations least likely to be protected or believed.What emerges from this broader view is the staggering scale and complexity of Epstein's operation, which depended on far more than one man's criminality. His ability to operate for decades across continents required cooperation or negligence from multiple institutions, including modeling agencies, immigration systems, financial intermediaries, and legal professionals. The limited number of publicly identified victims likely represents only a fraction of those harmed, with the true figure plausibly reaching into the thousands. Central and South America functioned as deeper blind spots, where victims were more easily silenced and abuses less likely to attract international scrutiny. The lack of comprehensive global investigations into these regions has left major gaps in accountability, reinforcing the conclusion that Epstein's crimes were not only vast, but systematically enabled by inequality, corruption, and selective attention.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Half a million people are in Spain without official permission. They come mainly from Colombia, Peru, Honduras, Paraguay, and Argentina. It's thought that most outstay their work, student, or tourist visas. An amnesty to grant them legal status to remain and work is due to start within weeks.It's a very different approach from most other countries in Europe that have been tightening controls on migration.The prime minister has admitted “Some say we've gone too far, that we're going against the current”.Opposition parties argue that this policy puts pressure on public services.This week on The Inquiry, we're asking: “How will Spain's migrant amnesty work?”Contributors: Ismael Gálvez Iniesta, assistant professor, department of applied economics, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain Donna Cabrera, independent researcher, international migration lecturer, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Colombia Alana Moceri, international relations professor, IE University, Spain Joan Monràs, economics professor, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, SpainPresenter: Charmaine Cozier Producer: Daniel Rosney Researcher: Evie Yabsley Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical producer: James Bradshaw Production Management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey

Mark McCartney is an Irish-born coach, host of the acclaimed What Is a Good Life podcast with nearly 300 conversations, and facilitator who helps leadership teams move from performative to genuine authenticity through presence, silence, and radical honesty.3:00 Mark describes his early career in corporate banking and capital markets in Ireland and Canada, passing the CFA Level I but realizing finance wasn't his calling: "If I do the next versions of this, I just haven't had a better idea yet as to what I want to do with my life."5:00 The New York Stock Exchange bell-ringing moment—what looked like a career peak became the catalyst for leaving finance. "I felt like a bit of an imposter where people really seemed to love their work."7:00 Mark's sabbatical to India—meditation, ashrams, Vipassana—and the surprise of meeting his future wife in McLeod Ganj, proposing within five weeks. Ten years later, the story holds.10:00 Turning down a 40% pay increase after a body-scan meditation revealed total clarity. His wife's response: "Yeah, I know you can't. It's fine." They sell everything and leave for Peru's Sacred Valley.15:00 Patterns from 300+ interviews on "What is a good life?"—the deeply individual nature of the answer, the importance of presence, and how people who say they're living a good life have often endured divorce, addiction, or depression.20:00 Authenticity as inner and outer coherence—not sharing everything, but no longer saying things your heart doesn't believe to be true. Tom Morgan reference: "When I said something that my heart didn't believe to be true, it hurt."25:00 Silent conversations explained—groups sit in silence for 10-45 minutes before speaking. Vulnerability isn't sharing your biggest trauma; it's sharing what's alive in this moment.32:00 Leadership teams moving from performative to genuine—creating conditions where defenses lower, elephants get named, and "I don't trust you right now" becomes a conversation starter, not a threat.39:00 Intellectual understanding as a "consolation prize"—the difference between reading Eckhart Tolle and embodying the teaching. "The lived experience of our life equates more to wisdom than sharing intellectual ideas."47:00 Belonging through attention—how a Peruvian woman's daily eye contact gave Mark a sense of home, and why belonging is built through tending to the people around you, not nationality.51:00 Transactional vs. relational living—Bogumil's infinite game tennis analogy and Mark's insight on the psychic toll of pretending something is important when it isn't.59:00 Mark's definition of success: spending days doing something you care about, being with people you love, and having the financial foundation to support it. "It feels like I've created the foundation for something that I hope to enjoy for many more years in this life."Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC. All statements and opinions expressed are based upon information considered reliable although it should not be relied upon as such.

In this episode, hosts Courtney and Mecca talk with Dr. Sara Juengst about her bioarchaeological work in coastal Ecuador among the very early and early Gangala, including differing ideas of what it means to be a “body”, the sociocultural and subsistence roles of the ocean, and the benefits of combining paleopathological, mortuary, and stable isotopic analyses. Dr. Juengst is an associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, NC, USA. As an anthropological bioarchaeologist, her research integrates social theory and skeletal evidence to address lived experiences of disease, diet, migration, and violence in the past and present.

In this episode, we chat with Mark Sumner, CEO and Chairman of Daura Gold, a TSX-listed junior miner, advancing high-impact exploration projects in Peru's renowned Ancash region. We discuss what attracted the team to the country, how a re-evaluation of historic drilling at Antonella significantly upgraded the dataset without drilling a single new hole, and what that means for confidence in the scale of the system. We also talk about district context, upcoming drilling plans at Antonella, the discovery potential behind the first systematic drill program at Cerro Bayo, and what Peru is like as a mining jurisdiction.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Daura Gold achieved a 51% increase in gold equivalent gram meters at their Antonella project without drilling a single new hole Despite political shifts, Peru remains a premier mining destination because of its world-class mineral endowment (Top 3 in copper and silver) and its proactive stance on promoting foreign investment  The Antonella project is located in the prolific Ancash Department, immediately adjacent to Highlander Silver's Bonita project and near the legendary San Luis deposit While focusing on Peru, Daura is also actively exploring the Cerro Bayo project in Argentina. This represents the first systematic drill testing of 15 priority targets in the Deseado Massif BEST MOMENTS "Peru has that really exciting combination of incredibly prospective geology... yet so much of the country is still under-explored."  "We managed to materially enhance the data set without drilling a single hole... it's completely changed the profile of the project for us."  "The mineral endowment of the Ancash is incredible... we're surrounded by these incredibly rich, high-grade epithermal vein systems." "We think there's potential for a multi-million ounce deposit at Antonella... that's really what the next 12 to 18 months looks like for us."

The Falkland Islands War (April 2–June 14, 1982) was a 74-day undeclared conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom over sovereignty of the South Atlantic islands. Following Argentina's invasion on April 2, a British task force reclaimed the territory, resulting in 649 Argentine and 255 British military deaths.Argentina (referring to them as Islas Malvinas) claimed the islands, while Britain had maintained control since 1833.Argentina invaded on April 2, 1982. The UK, led by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, dispatched a naval task force on April 5, 1982. The war lasted for 74 days, with intense fighting in the air, at sea, and on land.During the 1982 Falklands War, Peru provided significant, covert military support to Argentina, acting as its most active regional ally. President Fernando Belaúnde offered total support, supplying 10 Mirage M-5P fighter-bombers, along with ammunition, missiles, and long-range fuel tanks. Peruvian personnel also helped train Argentine forces on war planes.  Peru tried to act as a mediator early in the conflict, but after the sinking of the ARA General Belgrano, it moved to active support.The support was driven by strong "Latin American solidarity" sentiment.The war ended with the surrender of Argentine forces on June 14, 1982, returning the islands to British control.Send me a text but know that I can't respond hereUpdated official intro without the season year Support the showYou will find the full transcript behind the show notes: https://interspanish.buzzsprout.comIf you have a story or topic you would like me to cover, please send your suggestions to: InterSpanishPodcast@gmail.com Please visit my socials: https://linktr.ee/InterSpanish

1912 WILLIAM JENNINGS  RBYAN SPEECHAnatol Lieven examines Europe's missing voice in Kremlin negotiations, highlighting hurdles like sanctions relief and Russia's demand for Ukrainian withdrawal from the contested Donbass territory. 1.Anatol Lieven questions the lack of a clear strategy for US naval fleets near Iran, hoping for diplomatic compromise and economic opening rather than war. 2.Arthur Herman contrasts the Scottish Enlightenment's focus on liberty with the French "general will," arguing that collectivism historically descends into state violence and tyranny. 3.Arthur Herman argues that the American worldview rests on three Scottish pillars: unity of knowledge, common sense, and the harmonious integration of modern scientific discovery with ancient religious revelation. 4.John Yoo reports that in a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that the IEEPA does not grant the president power to impose universal tariffs without explicit Congressional authorization. 5.John Yoo argues that the tariff ruling proves the Court is not a partisan tool, but an independent body upholding constitutional boundaries and judicial ideology. 6.Mary Anastasia O'Grady describes Cuba's regime reaching its limits, discussing the difficulty of replacing the leadership without causing total societal chaos, looting, or a power vacuum. 7.Doug Messier reports that persistent thruster failures and engineering incompetence have marred Boeing's Starlinerprogram, leaving astronauts marooned and NASA heavily dependent on SpaceX for crewed orbital missions. 8.Professor Evan Ellis reports that the death of kingpin Nemesio Cervantes triggered nationwide gunplay and roadblocks in Mexico, highlighting cartel dominance and the personal nature of the security forces' fight. 9.Professor Evan Ellis reports that a deadly clash between Cuban forces and an American speedboat underscores the island's dire economic crisis and massive blackouts caused by severe, ongoing petroleum shortages. 10.Professor Evan Ellis reports that the US allows Venezuelan oil resale to Cuba's private sector to empower citizens, while Nicolas Maduro faces criminal proceedings in a formal New York courtroom. 11.Professor Evan Ellis reports that constant leadership turnover in Peru complicates governance, raising fears that China's Chancay port could serve military logistics for the People's Liberation Army during wartime. 12.Josiah Hesse explores Mason City's religious history, linking the Music Man allegory to the Scopes trial and traveling preachers who exploited regional evangelical fervor. 13.Josiah Hesse describes his parents' journey through the apocalyptic 1970s Jesus movement into a prosperity gospel church that resulted in extreme poverty and financial disillusionment. 14.Josiah Hesse reports that Paul Weyrich used abortion as a wedge issue to mobilize evangelical voters, successfully aligning Iowa's religious community with the Republican Party during Reagan's campaign. 15.Josiah Hesse recounts the psychological fear of his religious upbringing while observing how Donald Trump's populism continues to resonate deeply with modern Iowa evangelical voters. 16.

Mountain Trails sits nestled on Winchester's Old Town walking mall at 115 North Loudoun Street, where owner Garry Green has cultivated something rare in retail: a store that feels like a community. After 34 years in business—the last 13 at this location—Garry has discovered what he calls "the Loudoun Street Magic," especially on Saturday evenings when the mall comes alive. He shares his passion during this episode of The Valley Today, with host Janet Michael and cohost Brady Cloven, executive director of Friends of Old Town. Mountain Trails' move from its original Cork Street location transformed the business entirely. "The demographic literally went from climbers, backpackers, and travelers to just everyone," Garry explains. The visibility proved phenomenal, and the store has become an integral part of Winchester's identity, appearing regularly in social media posts and drawing visitors from states away. Education Over Sales: A Revolutionary Approach What sets Mountain Trails apart isn't just their inventory—it's their philosophy. Garry's mission statement centers on creating "a safer, more enjoyable wilderness or travel experience," which means the staff focuses on qualifying customer needs rather than pushing products. "We are not here to sell things to you," Garry emphasizes. "We try to qualify your needs and provide for those needs." This approach resonates deeply in a business where equipment failures can have serious consequences. Whether customers are paddling the Shenandoah River for the first time or heading to Mount Everest base camp, their concerns receive equal validation. Garry recalls outfitting a gentleman for climbing Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak at nearly 20,000 feet. When the climber returned, he shared a remarkable moment: "I was at 16,000 feet and I heard you talking to me." The boots and backpack performed exactly as Garry had promised—the ultimate validation for the staff. Curating the Right Gear for Every Adventure Every single item in Mountain Trails serves a purpose. "Everything in Mountain Trails other than, let's just say a t-shirt, needs to function," Garry explains. "It has a job. And it needs to do that when you need it to do it." From rain gear to sock structure—yes, even socks matter—the curation process ensures customers receive appropriate equipment for their specific adventures. The store's tagline captures this breadth: "hiking, climbing, trekking, travel." However, their secondary motto, "Quality Outdoor Outfitters," opens the door wider. International travelers heading to Peru or around the world find the education and experience they need. Summer canoeists discover dry bags and quick-drying clothing. Skiers find bibs and cross-country equipment. Technical rock climbers locate harnesses and safety gear. Meeting Customers Where They Are Understanding the customer's experience level proves crucial to Garry's approach. The outdoor industry's biggest emerging demographic is what he calls "the casual adventurer"—people who want to hike two miles to a waterfall with trail runners, trekking poles, and a day pack, then return to town for lunch. These customers have vastly different needs from long-distance trekkers carrying their "house on their back" for multiple days. "Not everybody needs a $400 three-layer Gore-Tex rain jacket," Garry points out. While climbers heading to Mount Everest might need that level of protection, an $80 waterproof jacket works perfectly for someone's golf bag. This honesty builds trust. Moreover, the relationship continues as customers grow in their outdoor pursuits, returning to upgrade their gear as they tackle more challenging adventures. The Power of Kindness and Experience When hiring staff, Garry's number one criterion isn't outdoor expertise—it's kindness. "You have to put that customer's best interest at heart above anything else," he insists. This philosophy creates what international visitors have called "the feel" of Mountain Trails, something that distinguishes it from sterile big-box retailers. The staff's personal experience matters tremendously. "They've been wet, cold, hungry, tired," Garry notes. "They're here to help you suffer better." Garry himself spent years guiding in Alaska and running outdoor adventure programs for the U.S. Air Force, helping service members decompress after deployment. He recalls a winter camping trip where a participant thought she wouldn't survive the night because her "butt was cold"—she hadn't inflated her sleeping pad. After inflating it and adding hand warmers, she proclaimed he'd saved her life. "You passed through a window," he told her, referring to those challenging moments all outdoor enthusiasts eventually face. Beyond the Hardcore: Everyday Customers Welcome While Mountain Trails caters to serious adventurers, everyday shoppers find unexpected value. Janet shares how the store helps her buy gifts for her mother-in-law who bikes the C&O Canal—despite Janet's self-proclaimed lack of outdoor interests. "I can come in here and just say, she does this and you can help me find the perfect gift for her," she explains. The store even welcomes those who simply want to look the part. "I love this store even though I am not an outdoors person," Janet admits. Garry laughs, acknowledging that sometimes "it's all about the look." This inclusive approach means everyone feels welcome, whether they're heading into the wilderness or just want quality gear for weekend activities. A Global Reputation Built on Local Service The store's reputation extends far beyond Winchester. Visitors from Syracuse, Cleveland, and even international locations make Mountain Trails a regular stop. Garry recalls a family from Israel who declared it their favorite outdoor store globally. "We go into these stores all over the world, and this one is our favorite so far," they told him. What impressed them? The feel of the place—something intangible that staff members hear about regularly. This atmosphere stems from Garry's operating principle: "Everybody's welcome until they're not." The staff genuinely cares, creating an environment that feels more like a community gathering space than a transaction-focused retail outlet. Social media serves not primarily as a sales tool but as "an instrument of familiarity," sharing articles about climbing, skiing, and outdoor adventures that customers want to read over their morning coffee. Connecting with Mountain Trails In mid-March, Mountain Trails will transition from their winter hours into regular hours: Monday through Thursday 10 AM to 7 PM, Fridays and Saturdays 10 AM to 8 PM, and Sundays noon to 5 PM. Customers can find them on Facebook and Instagram or visit mountain-trails.com for basic information, though the real experience requires stepping through their door on the walking mall. Old Town Winchester: Building Community Through Events Chocolate Escape Perseveres Through Arctic Conditions The second half of the conversation shifts focus to Brady Claven, executive director of Friends of Old Town Winchester, who shares updates on recent events and upcoming attractions. February's Chocolate Escape faced brutal weather—17-degree temperatures with windchill predictions of negative 10 degrees—yet determined participants still filled the walking mall with their maps, hitting every participating location. Approximately 30 merchants participated in the event, which aims not just to distribute chocolate but to drive foot traffic into stores during cold months. The strategy worked. Faire Isles, for instance, welcomed numerous first-time visitors, and overall feedback indicated people discovered stores they'd never visited before. "The point of it is to get people into stores," Brady explains, noting that participants might not linger outside as long in freezing weather, but they spent more time browsing inside. Celebrating Black History Month Through Partnership Friends of Old Town partnered with NAACP Winchester and secured generous sponsorship from Valley Health to present three Black History Month events. Typewriter Studio hosted a spoken word and art gallery night featuring Monica James and representatives from Selah Theater. Bright Box presented "History and Cocktails" with Nick Powers from the MSV delivering an outstanding historical talk about the Valley's Black history, tying into the upcoming VA250 celebration. Finally, Bistro Sojo offered a small plates and jazz night with a $35-per-person special menu and live performance by SU. Spin to Winchester: Pedaling for Progress Friends of Old Town's second annual Spin to Winchester fundraiser brought participants together inside Valley Health for a 45-minute stationary bike class. Each rider crowd-funded their participation, raising a minimum of $250, with prizes awarded for most funds raised, sweatiest rider, and highest mileage. The event exceeded expectations, hitting 120% of its goal and attracting 20 more individual donors than the previous year. "It's very apparent by the end of this 45-minute class, certain people are, myself included, just dripping with sweat," Brady admits, describing the intense workout led by instructor Pam from Valley Health. Despite the physical challenge—including what seemed like endless "last hills"—the fundraiser's success directly supports Old Town programs and events throughout the year. Taylor Pavilion: A Transformation Underway Ground has broken on the Taylor Pavilion renovation, with completion targeted for before WineFest during Apple Blossom season. The transformation will create a social gathering space that addresses a common community need. "We do hear a lot from people that say, well, you know, there's really not a space if I don't wanna drink or if I don't want to eat," Brady notes. The new pavilion will offer a place where people can grab a bagel and sit, play chess, listen to music, or simply enjoy being on the mall. It will serve as a meeting point before art classes at Typewriter Studio or ShenArts—a place for friends to gather with coffee and catch up before heading to other destinations. Notably, the infamous "ping pong table on an incline" from the conceptual rendering will not materialize, though Brady jokes they should install a commemorative statue. Celtic Fest Returns March 14th Looking ahead to March, Celtic Fest promises to be a highlight. Scheduled for Saturday, March 14th from noon to 5 PM, the event will feature approximately 35 vendors lining the mall from the south end near Hideaway northward. Partners include Ravenwood Foundation, which brings expertise in outdoor Highland games. City Pipes and Drums will perform throughout the day. Faire Isles plans Irish dancers in their alcove, while other merchants prepare special attractions. Piper Dan's and Union Jack's—recently reopened after flooding—will participate, with Brady hoping to coordinate a special menu. Additionally, Brady plans to transform the museum lawn into a kids' Highland games zone, where children ages four to ten can throw foam logs, compete in disc throwing, and win prizes. Staying Connected Those interested in Old Town Winchester events can follow Friends of Old Town on Facebook and Instagram (@FriendsOfOldTownWINC) or visit friendsofoldtown.org for a complete calendar. First Friday events return in June with a "Summer of Covers" theme featuring cover bands, including a special August event partnering with River House. A Community That Cares Whether discussing Mountain Trails' dedication to customer safety and satisfaction or Friends of Old Town's commitment to creating community experiences, this conversation reveals Winchester's character: a city where businesses and organizations prioritize people over profit, relationships over transactions, and community over convenience. From outdoor gear to outdoor festivals, the message remains consistent—everyone's welcome, expertise matters, and kindness forms the foundation of everything worthwhile.

Bernardo Haour Hartman was born in Paris between the wars and, as a young man, entered the Jesuit novitiate with the aim of better understanding the world in which he lived. In 1986, at the age of 51, an opportunity for adventure arose: to leave France and work with the Jesuit order in Peru. He accepted without thinking that this journey would lead him to seek something unusual for a European of his age: to live the rest of his life as a Peruvian.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2-19-261970 IRAN The European Left and the Ukraine Conflict. John Batchelor and Anatol Lieven discuss the European left's evolving stance on the Ukraine war. Facing economic strain, radical leftist parties are prioritizing peace and domestic issues over punishing Russia, driven by historical anti-NATO sentiments and deep skepticism toward European military expansion and the United States. #1 Negotiated Settlements and Expanding Security States. Anatol Lieven explains the European left's growing concerns about the Ukraine war fueling authoritarian security and surveillance measures. While a negotiated settlement requiring Ukraine to surrender the Donbas seems impossible in Kyiv, the conflict risks becoming a prolonged war of attrition dictated by modern drone warfare. #2 Truman, the Fed, and the 1951 Accord. Professor John Cochrane explores the 1951 Treasury-Fed Accordduring the Korean War. Fearing another World War II-style crisis, President Harry Truman pressured FedChairman Thomas McCabe to keep interest rates low. Instead, the Fed fought for its independence to combat inflation, establishing modern monetary policy precedents. #3 Modern Lessons from the Fed-Treasury Accord. Drawing parallels between 1951 and today, John Cochraneexamines the tension between presidential administrations and the Federal Reserve during crises. He emphasizes that the Fed must maintain its independence, warning against perpetually funding government spending and urging a strict focus on inflation control over politically motivated easy money. #4 Peru's Political Crisis and Chinese Influence. Professor Evan Ellis details Peru's chronic political instability following the appointment of its eighth president in eight years. Amidst endemic corruption and a fragmented Congress, the nation is deeply intertwined with Chinese investments, particularly in telecommunications, mining, and the strategically vital, Chinese-controlled deep-water port of Chancay. #5 Cuba's Severe Energy and Economic Collapse. Evan Ellis describes the catastrophic collapse of Cuba'seconomy. Cut off from Venezuelan and Mexican oil, the island faces severe rationing, blackouts, halted public services, and completely collapsed tourism. With millions fleeing the dire conditions, the communist regime's survival is heavily strained as basic resources fail. #6 Border Drone Threats, USMCA, and Venezuela. Evan Ellis discusses the closure of El Paso's airspace due to sophisticated cartel drones. He also highlights the critical necessity of renegotiating the USMCA to preserve Mexico's economy and cooperative security posture. Finally, he notes a surprising US military delegation visit to negotiate with Venezuela's Maduro regime. #7 Guyana's Massive Oil Boom. Evan Ellis highlights the profound economic transformation of Guyana following the discovery of billions of barrels of light, sweet crude oil. Driven by massive investments from ExxonMobil and Chevron, the South American nation serves as a prime example of effective management and foreign partnerships generating transformative national wealth. #8 Israel's Initial Response to the October 7 Atrocities. Following the horrific October 7 attacks by Hamas, Israelileaders reacted with understandable outrage and mobilized forcefully to neutralize the threat. While Hamas is currently severely degraded militarily and controls less territory, the group remains armed and continues to pose an ongoing security challenge fueled by Iranian backing. #9Defining Israel's Deep Political and Demographic Divides. Peter Berkowitz clarifies crucial definitions in Israelipolitics, explaining why a one-state solution would destroy Israel's democratic and Jewish character. He outlines how traditional left-right divisions have morphed into pro- or anti-Netanyahu factions, heavily influenced by religious demographics and the ultra-Orthodox community's contentious role in military service. #10Trump's Middle East Legacy and Israel's Judicial Crisis. Examining the Trump administration's lasting diplomatic legacy, Peter Berkowitz praises the embassy move to Jerusalem, the withdrawal from the flawed Iran deal, and the strategic Abraham Accords. He also analyzes Israel's internal turmoil over its overly activist Supreme Court, which sparked mass protests prior to the ongoing war. #11Confronting the Ignorance Fueling Anti-Israel Protests. Dismantling the arguments of global anti-Israel protesters, Peter Berkowitz highlights their culpable ignorance regarding Israel's defensive sovereignty. He refutes false accusations of colonialism, exposing how Hamas deliberately uses Palestinian civilians as human shields and actively seeks to destroy both the Jewish state and broader Western democratic civilization. #12Viktor Orban's Dangerous Alliances with Russia and China. Facing domestic electoral pressures, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban manipulatively courts the Trump administration while deepening dangerous alliances with Russia and China. Ivana Stradner explains that Orban leverages these relationships to project global relevance and maintain power, falsely claiming that Hungary is a victim of unavoidable Russian energy dependence. #13Bangladesh's Political Turmoil and Rising Islamist Influence. Following the violent ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh faces severe political and economic instability under Tariq Rahman. Sadanand Dhume warns of a concerning Islamic revival, highlighting the growing parliamentary power of the radical Jamaat-e-Islami movement and the critical need to pragmatically repair fractured diplomatic relations with India. #14Justice Scalia and the Unitary Executive Theory. Reflecting on Justice Antonin Scalia's legacy, Professor John Yoodetails the concept of the unitary executive. Scalia powerfully argued that the Constitution vests all executive power directly in the president, warning that independent agencies fragment federal authority, diminish democratic accountability, and disrupt the essential separation of powers. #15The Supreme Court's Threat to Independent Agencies. Analyzing upcoming Supreme Court cases, John Yoopredicts the potential overturning of the historic Humphrey's Executor precedent. Such a ruling would fundamentally dismantle the protections shielding independent agencies like the Federal Trade Commission from direct presidential control, sparking a massive structural revolution within the federal government's executive branch. #16
