For hundreds of years, the Spanish banned the Incan Festival of the Sun—the Andean New Year. But since the middle of the 20th century, Inti Raymi has been back. Today, communities, cities, towns and even universities hold Inti Raymi celebrations. They make offerings, light fires and incense. They say prayers to Pachamama and Inti, the sun. They sing and dance. And it's not just a celebration. It is an act of resistance.This is episode 50 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

If you walk down the street in Paraguay, you will hear people speaking Spanish, the official language of most of the countries of Latin America. But, particularly if you are in the countryside, you will also hear something else: Guaraní.It's one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in the Americas; a mother tongue of roughly six and half million people. In particular, in Paraguay.There, most Paraguayans speak Guaraní or a mixture of Guaraní and Spanish, regardless of whether or not they are Indigenous Guaraní, mestizo, or white. When Paraguay was invaded in the mid-1800s, Guaraní became the language of resistance. It has been preserved and passed down from generation to generation. This is episode 49 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

In this week’s episode of Real News or Fake News on The Jubal Show, we break down three of the wildest headlines making waves online—and you have to guess: are they real or just viral fakes?

Today’s full episode of The Jubal Show is packed with unbelievable confessions, awkward dating fails, and wild news stories that sound too crazy to be true—but are they?

Unmasking the Madness: Parody, Politics, and Propaganda From Humor to Hard Truths: Navigating a World of Confusion Welcome to "Right On Radio," hosted by Jeff, where we promise a blend of laughter and insight as we delve into the peculiar world of news, entertainment, and truth-telling. This episode is not your typical serious broadcast; instead, it's an intriguing mix of fake news, real news, and intel designed to entertain and inform our listeners. We've compiled a series of clips, some purely for entertainment, yet containing a kernel of truth, while others offer real commentary and analysis on pressing global issues. Expect to be amused and enlightened as we navigate through these segments. The episode kicks off with a hilarious parody from Jake G TV, presenting a satirical take on news consumption after being "red-pilled"—highlighting the chaos and confusion sown by various media outlets. The comical yet thought-provoking dialogue sheds light on the absurdities sometimes found in media narratives, urging listeners to critically assess the information they consume. We then move on to a real commentary by former Congressman Matt Gaetz, providing a deeper dive into complex geopolitical issues, including secret nuclear programs and the intricate dance of international politics. This segment not only informs but challenges us to reconsider our perceptions about global conflicts and the media's portrayal of such topics. Interspersed throughout are comedic clips that use humor to tackle serious issues, such as health advice from the news, political predictions, and even a satirical look at FBI intelligence strategies. These segments underscore the potential influence of propaganda and the importance of discerning fact from fiction in today's world. The episode rounds off with a comedic gem from "Saturday Night Live," serving as a reminder of the value of humor in lightening the load of daily life's challenges. It is a perfect blend of levity and reflection, encouraging listeners to question, laugh, and engage with the content presented.

Q'eswachaka is the last Incan rope bridge. It's located down in a valley in the Andes mountains of Peru. And in early June, the residents of four Quechua communities hold a three-day-long festival, where they rebuild the bridge from scratch.This is not just a task to be done, but an ancestral ceremony. A means of holding on to their traditions and the story—resisting modernity and the passage of time, by preserving this piece of their history and their culture.The bridge itself is a symbol of the community's connection to their past, to their ancestors, to the next generations, to the land… and to Mother Earth. This is episode 48 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Bruce Springsteen has never shied away from expressing his political views. And he's not gonna back down now.“In my home, the America I love. The America I've written about. That has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration,” he told a crowd at a concert in Europe, in May. Donald Trump responded over Truth Social, calling him a “pushy, obnoxious jerk” and a “dried out ‘prune' of a rocker.”In dark times, music and song gives us hope. Bruce Springsteen, like Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, or Woody Guthrie, is one of those musicians who has often led the way with songs for the downtrodden. Songs for the working class, for hardworking Americans, for immigrants. For justice and freedom. And other famous rock idols have got the Boss's back.This is episode 47 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

You might think that Ernesto “Che” Guevara's resistance came with the Cuban revolution. When he sailed on the yacht known as the Granma, picked up arms, fought alongside Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra, and liberated the island of Cuba. Or when he denounced US intervention at the United Nations, or when he helped to lead Cuba and make it self-sufficient, despite the US embargo that still exists today. Or when he left it all behind to try and spark a revolution in Bolivia.But Ernesto Guevara's resistance began long before all of that. It began when he traveled. When he wandered the land. When he saw the unjust global system all around him—a caste system imposed on the countries of Latin America, where the wealthy were at the top and everyone else fought over the miserable crumbs. And Che Guevara refused to obey. Che vowed to do everything he could to fight it. To resist it. And resist he did… This is episode 46 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

It’s a full-throttle day on The Jubal Show packed with drama, deception, dinosaurs, and digital divinity. Here’s what went down:

Can you tell the difference between actual news and viral fiction? In this episode of Real News or Fake News, the team tests their BS detectors on headlines that sound too ridiculous to be true—but some of them are. From teens stealing a subway train after watching a movie, to a face "tattoo" that warns you when you're mentally fried, to a real-life church formed by people who believe ChatGPT is God… things get weird. Plus: A fake lawsuit over an "ugly baby" fools the internet, and the team debates whether plastic surgery counts as genetic fraud. This segment proves that the truth really is stranger than fiction.

Independent journalists say they are under threat in El Salvador. At least 15 journalists have fled the country in recent weeks. Roughly a dozen more are in hiding out of fear for their safety.“There's an atmosphere of fear, of anxiety. Of insecurity,” says Oscar Orellana, the head of the community media association ARPAS.But many continue to report. They continue to denounce the unjust detention of human rightsdefenders. They continue to tell the stories that need to be told. Resisting… despite everything.This is episode 45 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Today, we're taking a look at the unraveling mayhem situation in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to lead has allowed chaos to run absolutely wild. Violent riots involving illegal immigrants (most of whom are military-aged men) are breaking out across the state. These individuals are not assimilating, they are disrupting, demanding, and waving foreign flags while burning ours on American soil. As California spirals, it's no surprise that federal intervention has become necessary. President Trump has stepped in where state "leadership" would not. This really isn't about politics, it's about preserving order, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law. We are a people who serve a God of justice, not disorder. What's happening is not compassionate, it's destabilizing. California deserves better, and America must wake up before this becomes the norm nationwide. God forbid. Let's talk about what's really going on in California and why prayer, truth, and resolve are crucial right now.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqJuDPZk6H7VWSxgepSo3RWAJCtIGO9wrHmULH1iMgxSzkJ791_--Order CULTure: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S

Protesters have taken to the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco. They're protesting the detention and arrest of thousands of immigrants by Donald Trump's immigration officials. Protests have carried on for days. They've shut down highways. They've shouted, “No.” Trump has responded, calling in the national guard, despite objections from local state officials. It's the first time a president has unilaterally called in the national guard in 60 years. California governor Gavin Newsom says he's suing Trump for illegally deploying federal troops and “flaming the fires.” People have promised to resist. More protests are planned for today and the coming days. This is episode 44 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

In today's episode, we examine the intensifying public rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The catalyst? Trump's recently proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” which notably removes federal subsidies that have historically benefited Musk's ventures. Elon has not remained silent, and tensions escalated further when he retaliated by implying that Trump is listed among Jeffrey Epstein's known associates, suggesting this as the reason the full client list remains sealed.Major accusation.Is this an authentic ideological clash, or a calculated distraction? What are the political implications, and who truly benefits from this spectacle? Let's dissect the rhetoric, analyze the deeper motives, and apply biblical clarity in the midst of all of the chaos.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOopJ1q_VkwFOO-Q2RCLoc1uzsHwAP4yh-_ZFG-r8_S9idICTj6nR

There is a boat sailing to Gaza right now. It carries aid for the people of Palestine. And it is called the Freedom Flotilla. It is a sign of solidarity. A sign of international resistance against Israel's war on the people of Palestine. Against the death, and destruction, and pain. Against the genocide.The goal is to break Israel's siege of Gaza. And deliver much needed humanitarian aid.The Freedom Flotilla left Sicily on June 1.

The Chinchorro mummies are considered the oldest mummies in the world. Thousands of years older than the Egyptian mummies. And these were not pharaohs. They were everyday folks looking to hold on to what was most dear to them: The people they loved.An embrace from the past that would last for thousands upon thousands of years. That would last until today. And, hopefully, far into the future.This is episode 41 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Chile's Club Deportivo Palestino is a soccer team founded more than a century ago by Palestinian immigrants in Santiago, Chile. Chile is home to the largest Palestinian community outside of the Middle East: half a million people.The team wears the country's colors: white, green and red. In the stands, fans wear them too, as well as keffiyehs, the black-and-white scarves that represent Palestinian identity and resistance. Their slogan is: “More than a team, it is an entire people.”The team, the players, and the fans have remained outspoken in defense of Palestine. And outspoken against the violence in Gaza.This is episode 40 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Parán is a small Indigenous community in the hills of Huaura, in central Peru. They are peach farmers. Their orchards line the mountainside. The same mountain where a new Canadian mine, known as Invicta, was beginning to operate. They feared for their future and that the mine would contaminate their precious springs, their only source of fresh water for their town and their peach trees.In 2018, they began an around-the-clock roadblock against a new mine. When they were attacked by armed thugs, they held a community meeting and the entire village—all adult men and women—agreed to participate in the protest against the mine. They were finally successful.This is episode 39 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

For nearly 20 years, the women of Calama traveled into the desert each day to search for their loved ones — their husbands and partners who were ripped from them, detained, tortured, executed, and disappeared in the weeks following Chile's US-backed 1973 coup d'état.Monday through Sunday, sun-up to sundown, they scoured the harsh desert earth with strainers and rakes, searching and hoping.And finally, in 1990, on the edge of a hillside overlooking the expansive Atacama desert, the women found fragments of bones and pieces of teeth. This was the location their loved ones had laid buried for 17 years. This is the May Week of the Disappeared — a week to remember and honor those who have been forcibly disappeared and the fight for truth and justice for their families.This is episode 38 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

On May 22. 2006, teachers struck across the Mexican state of Oaxaca against dismal resources for schools, kids, and themselves. They were met with widespread repression. It would kick off months of protests that would unexpectedly turn Oaxaca into ground zero for one of the most radical movements Mexico has seen in the 21st century.They started holding people's assemblies. They set up barricades across the city.

His clothes were simple. So were his words and his actions. Yet he created tremendous change and left an indelible mark on the tiny country of Uruguay and the entire region of Latin America.This is episode 36 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Ricardo Jones is an obstetrician. His wife, Neusa, is an obstetrics nurse. But they embrace the ancestral knowledge of midwives.But for their work, Ric and Neusa Jones are under attack. On March 27, 2025, Ric Jones was convicted of first-degree murder, 15 years after one of the thousands of babies he delivered died of congenital pneumonia in the hospital 24 hours shortly after the child was born at home.Ric Jones received a sentence of 14 years in prison. His wife, 11 years. Ric Jones spent three weeks in prison. He is now out while they await the decision over the appeal.But a movement has grown in their defense. Parents, midwives, doulas, and birth activists are standing up. They've denounced the case against them. They've denounced Ric Jones's imprisonment. They are demanding justice for Ric and Neusa Jones.This is episode 29 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Most of this episode is focused on Brazil, where caesarean section rates are some of the highest in the world, and natural-birth and home-birth midwives, obstetricians, and doulas say they have felt clear marginalization and abuse by mainstream health professionals.In the United States, home births are actually on the rise, with more midwives and doulas being certified, but as more and more states move to legalize homebirth, it's also created a legal grey area.Overall, women and men carrying out these home and natural births in many countries say they feel targeted for their work.Below is a small list of lawsuits against natural birth midwives in numerous countries. They say this is part of a movement to end humanized and home birth. In many of these cases, midwives were accused or convicted of manslaughter.

In recent years, local organizations, together with dozens of Indigenous communities, have planted more than 10 million trees up and down the Andes, with almost half of them in the Peruvian mountains around Cusco. Many of the tree species are threatened, and many of the ecosystems at risk.The trees help to protect and preserve the local environments and ecosystems and in particular help retain water. The communities are also holding on to their local cultures, beliefs and religion. Making offerings and prayers to Pachamama and the Apus. Offerings for the resistance of their peoples on the hillsides of the Andes. Offerings for their children and their communities. Offerings for the future. This is episode 23 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Federico Avalos is an Argentine poet. But he does not write the words. He recites them. And poetry is both Federico's job and his activism. A theatric intervention. A temporal break in time from the digital monotony: The selfies, the tweets, the posts, the likes, the comments and the follows.This is Federico's resistance. Standing up to the cyber mayhem. Breathing art into the void. Magic. Reflection.This is episode 21 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Titles do not do Eduardo Galeano justice. He was writer, reader, journalist, editor. But he was also historian. Catching stories in the air. Writing and retelling them anew. But he did not write for the stuffy halls of the elites or academia. He wrote for the people. He was a truth teller. A myth maker. An essayist. A poet. Polishing his craft. Honing his art. Chiseling his sculptures with word, until they were perfectly symmetrical. Gorgeous bouquets of words.He was a storyteller. And his tales had morals. His vignettes — tiny packets of beauty that remind us who we are, and where we come from. The immense injustices carried out by the powerful and the profound insight of the people. He died on April 13, 2015. This week is the 10-year-anniversary of his passing.This is episode 20 of Stories of Resistance — a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.  Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program.

It is a tremendous look back at that time, amid a scathing critique of how the Spanish, foreign companies and white elites have always treated local Indigenous and campesino populations in Bolivia and across Latin America.Subscribe to Stories of Resistance podcast hereBecome a member and join the Stories of Resistance Supporters Club today!Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast
