Several Brazilian women have come forward describing how a modeling recruiter connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly attempted to recruit them while they were teenagers pursuing careers in the fashion industry. According to accounts gathered by journalists, French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, a longtime associate of Epstein, approached young women in Brazil and other parts of South America with offers of modeling opportunities abroad. One Brazilian woman said Brunel visited her family home when she was 16 to persuade her mother to allow her to travel for a modeling contest in Ecuador. At the time, the family believed the opportunity was legitimate, unaware of Brunel's connections to Epstein. Investigators later found evidence that modeling agencies tied to Brunel were used to identify and recruit young women from South America and help arrange visas for them to travel to the United States.The accounts form part of a broader picture of how Epstein's network allegedly used the international modeling industry as a recruitment channel. Several women said they were approached with promises of fashion work, travel, or contests that could launch their careers, only later realizing they had been targeted by people linked to Epstein's circle. Brunel, who worked closely with Epstein and received financial backing from him for the agency MC2 Model Management, was later arrested in France on accusations including rape of a minor and trafficking-related offenses. He denied wrongdoing but died in a Paris prison in 2022 before standing trial, leaving many of the allegations about his role in recruiting young women for Epstein unresolved in court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Presented by Howard Hamilton, the founder of SoccermetricsWe're now finished with the preliminary stage and we know who the four teams to join are...Howard looks at the last results as we wait for Thursday's draw

French authorities opened a formal investigation into Jean-Luc Brunel after multiple women came forward alleging that the longtime modeling agent had helped recruit and supply young women to Jeffrey Epstein. Brunel, who founded the MC2 modeling agency, was accused by several accusers of using the modeling world as a recruiting pipeline—bringing young women, including some from South America and Eastern Europe, into Epstein's orbit under the promise of fashion work. French prosecutors began examining allegations that Brunel had participated in rape, sexual assault, and trafficking connected to Epstein's network. The inquiry gathered momentum after Epstein's 2019 arrest in the United States, prompting investigators in France to revisit longstanding accusations surrounding Brunel and his role in the international modeling industry. Brunel was ultimately arrested in Paris in 2020 and placed under formal investigation as authorities examined claims that he had helped facilitate exploitation for years.The case also drew attention to long-standing controversy surrounding France's age-of-consent framework. For decades, French law lacked a clearly defined statutory age below which sexual relations with a minor would automatically be considered rape, relying instead on prosecutors to prove coercion, force, or lack of consent in many cases involving teenagers. Critics argued that this legal structure made it more difficult to prosecute sexual exploitation involving older adults and adolescents and left gaps that could be exploited by predators operating in industries such as fashion and entertainment. Public outrage over several high-profile cases—including those involving allegations tied to Brunel—intensified debate within France about whether the legal standard adequately protected minors. The controversy eventually fueled legislative reform efforts aimed at establishing clearer age thresholds and strengthening protections for young victims of sexual exploitation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This week we dive into the strange, fascinating world of superstitions, starting with a few well-known ones before venturing into some truly bizarre beliefs from around the globe. The episode explores classic superstitions like unlucky black cats, knocking on wood, the taboo of walking under ladders, the bad luck of breaking mirrors, and why you shouldn't open an umbrella indoors. From there, we travel through a collection of unusual cultural superstitions. In parts of South America and Spain, sweeping someone's feet with a broom is said to doom them to a lifetime of being single, while in the Caribbean an itchy palm might signal money coming in or going out depending on which hand it is. Some beliefs are even stranger, like the Irish warning that an itchy nose means a fight is coming, or the Turkish superstition that chewing gum after dark turns it into human flesh. The hosts also chat about customs tied to everyday life and sleep, such as instructions about when to cut your nails, never placing a hat on a bed, reshaping mattresses to prevent the devil from hiding in them!We wrap up with theatrical lore surrounding “The Scottish Curse,” the long-standing belief among actors that saying the name of Shakespeare's Macbeth inside a theater invites disaster! Blending history, folklore, and humor, the episode highlights how superstition has shaped human behavior for centuries and how many of these quirky beliefs still linger today.

Episode 163 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, hosted by Angie Sparks and Cameron Laufer, opens with a lighthearted highlight from the community about surviving timeshare presentations. Members shared strategies for getting through the required 90–120 minute pitch that often comes with discounted vacation offers—suggestions ranged from setting a visible timer and clearly stating you're not interested, to humorous tactics like bringing sugar-hyped kids or joking about being fresh out of bankruptcy. The hosts also discussed travel news, including a promotion from Holiday Inn Club Vacations offering bonus IHG points with a discounted stay, the opening of a small but upscale American Express Sidecar Lounge in Las Vegas, a 30% Chase-to-Wyndham transfer bonus, and changes to Emirates partner award charts. Angie and Cameron also shared personal updates about credit-card welcome bonuses they're working on and upcoming trips they're planning or booking.The main topic focuses on Cameron's trip to Chile and how to use points and miles to reach South America. Major gateways like Santiago (SCL) and Buenos Aires (EZE) offer multiple award options across alliances. Cameron flew from Cleveland to Santiago via Dallas using American Airlines miles, noting that American and Alaska miles can book business-class awards starting around 50,000 miles one way. Other options include Latam flights from Miami or New York, bookable through partners like Virgin Atlantic or Delta, as well as Star Alliance bookings through Air Canada for United, Avianca, or Copa flights. Once in the region, travelers heading to Patagonia can fly to smaller airports such as Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas using Latam or low-cost carriers like JetSMART, sometimes for cheap cash fares that can be offset with travel portal credits.Cameron also explained that Patagonia trips—especially to Torres del Paine—require careful planning due to complex logistics. His group flew to Puerto Natales, then took a bus and catamaran to begin the famous W Trek, a roughly 50-mile hike over five days. Despite the complicated planning for a group of six, the stunning scenery made it worthwhile. Accommodation options range from affordable hostels to luxury properties, including some bookable with points or through premium travel.Episode Links:IHG Timeshare OfferAmex new Vegas loungeChase to Wyndham bonusEmirates partner chart changesWhere to Find Us The Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.

What if the person who transformed your entire career is also someone you haven't spoken to in seven years? In this episode, Ryan Ellefsen shares how he helps businesses take credit cards, lower processing fees, and protect their revenue as VP of EasyPay Direct, a merchant services company he recently joined after 20 years in the industry. EasyPay serves coaches, consultants, speakers, and internet marketers,  processing payments for names like Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, and Frank Kern across 34 US locations. Ryan built his career expertise under the mentorship of Steve Thorne, CEO of NMR (National Marketing Resources), eventually rising from Processing Manager to VP and co-building what became Platinum Payment Systems. Today, Ryan is known for his transparent, relationship-first approach to merchant services — always insisting on a face-to-face conversation before onboarding any client, no matter how small. Ryan honors Steve Thorne, the man who hired him at $70,000/year when he was making $23,400 as a Spanish teacher in Utah. Phil Smith introduced Ryan to Steve while both were in an MBA program, and Steve believed in Ryan enough to bring him into NMR, where Ryan spent 10 transformative years climbing from Processing Manager all the way to VP. Under Steve's roof, Ryan co-built a merchant processing company that eventually merged into Platinum Payment Systems.   [00:03:41] Reconnected Through a Mutual Friend Kevin and Ryan originally met years ago at Genius Network Recently reconnected via mutual friend Anthony Simon through an email introduction Neither realized in the intro email that they already knew each other [00:03:51] VP of EasyPay Direct: What He Does and Who He Serves Merchant services company helping businesses accept credit cards and get funding Specializes in the coach, consultant, speaker, author, and internet marketing space Serves major names like Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, and Frank Kern Recently joined after 20 years in the industry; he and CEO Brad Weimert were friendly competitors for two decades [00:05:04] EasyPay vs. PayPal: The Key Difference PayPal is better for card-present transactions like retail stores EasyPay specializes in card-not-present, high-risk: coaching, big-ticket packages, phone sales High-risk means future fulfillment over time, high-ticket pricing, sold over the phone Premier company in the country for internet marketing and coaching businesses [00:07:55] What Inspires Ryan Most: Giving People a Fair Deal Has an affinity for the person being ripped off by hidden fees Philosophy: everybody can win — a 10-year relationship beats a 6-month windfall Sometimes helps small businesses where he makes almost nothing — and loves it Tries to learn something from every single conversation [00:13:02] How EasyPay Lowers Your Rates Over Time EasyPay has its own gateway to manage multiple banks from a single login Uses Level 3 Advantage and tokenization to lower interchange rates Can lower interchange by up to 75 basis points (0.75%) EasyPay's margin stays fixed; all savings go directly to the client [00:18:40] The Industry's Dirty Secret: Watch Your Statements Processors can legally raise your rates by burying notice in statement fine print Not calling to cancel is considered acceptance of new terms They raise rates 5 –10 basis points at a time. Visa changes rates every six months and they go up more often than down [00:26:15] Started as a Spanish Teacher Making $23,400 a Year Graduated college, went on a church mission to South America from 1991 to 1993 Came back, majored in Spanish teaching, played sports, had fun First teaching job in Utah in 1997 paid $23,400/year Started a carpet cleaning business in school that eventually made 10x his teaching salary [00:28:00] Phil Smith Introduces Ryan to Steve Thorne Met Phil Smith in his MBA cohort Phil introduced him to Steve Thorne, CEO of NMR (National Marketing Resources) in Kearney, Missouri Steve hired Ryan as Processing Manager at $70,000/year nearly triple his teaching salary His bonus in year two was bigger than his entire teaching salary [00:29:05] Ten Years at NMR: From Manager to VP Progressed from Processing Manager → Director → Managing Director → VP NMR and sister company PMI did infomercial production for Dean Graziosi, Anthony Morrison, and others Did hundreds of millions in coaching and big-ticket event sales Ryan pitched starting a merchant processing company; Steve challenged him to make it a million-dollar idea. [00:30:31] When a Great Relationship Fractures Ryan and Steve haven't spoken in seven years following a lawsuit Ended in a no-fault settlement — neither side got what they wanted Ryan still considers Steve one of the best, most honest people he's ever met "If he ever catches wind of this podcast… I would welcome that" [00:35:20] What Steve's Mentorship Still Looks Like Today After the split, became VP of a digital marketing company within 6 months Core lesson from Steve: how to treat people with genuine sincerity "Nobody who's ever met Steve Thorn dislikes Steve Thorn" Attributes his versatility and confidence across industries entirely to Steve's tutelage   KEY QUOTES "My philosophy is that everybody can win. If you can set up a relationship that makes some money for the next 10 years, that's way better than a relationship that makes you a whole bunch of money for six months." - Ryan Ellefsen "Steve Thorn transformed my life. If he hadn't given me that opportunity, I wouldn't be where I am today and I wouldn't have what I have today." - Ryan Ellefsen "Nobody who's ever met Steve Thorn dislikes Steve Thorn. He's sincere. He's a good guy and he just knows how to treat people. And so I learned a lot from him in that regard." - Ryan Ellefsen CONNECT WITH RYAN ELLEFSEN

8. Professor Evan Ellis analyzes the reversal of the "pink tide" in South America, highlighted by the election of conservative capitalist Jose Antonio Kastin Chile. He discusses the cooling relations between the U.S. and Brazil's President Lula, who is currently in a statistical tie for re-election with Flavio Bolsonaro. Lula's recent condemnations of U.S. military strikes and his deepening ties with BRICS partners have alienated the Trumpadministration, leading to the cancellation of his planned White House visit.

Human intelligence is a complex, multi-faceted capability—reasoning, learning, problem-solving, and abstract thought—marked by profound self-awareness and adaptability. Orchestrated by the brain's frontoparietal network, it integrates perception, memory, and language to navigate real-world environments. And unlike artificial intelligence, it's distinguished by emotional intelligence, ethical judgment, and real-time, autonomous, general-purpose cognition.Few people personify these qualities more vividly than our guest, Don Weber—a global communication strategist, human intelligence (HUMINT) expert, and executive coach whose life tells a story of survival, reinvention, and mastery. For over 15 years, Don worked in international intelligence operations across 90+ countries, operating under multiple identities and navigating environments where one wrong move could have cost him his life. During his years as a U.S. government field operative under the George Bush administration, he gathered intelligence across South America, Africa, and Europe—working with organized crime figures, foreign agents, and volatile political networks. One of his covers placed him inside Antwerp's diamond trade circles and other uniquely challenging arenas, where he learned to build rapport across diverse groups others could not. After leaving intelligence work, he dedicated his life to helping others communicate authentically and lead with awareness.Over the past decade, he has become one of Europe's most respected executive communication coaches, training royalty, EU diplomats, ambassadors, senior politicians, and Fortune 500 executives across major European capitals. Trained in martial arts for real-life situations, Don learned techniques to disable or neutralize threats when necessary. He combines that practical training with lifelong meditation practice, blending the discipline of combat with the stillness of mindfulness to create a grounded, authentic approach to leadership and communication.CONTACT DETAILS: Business: Don Weber CoachingWebsite: https://drwebercoaching.thinkific.com/ https://drwebercoaching.com/ Social Media Address LinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-weber YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drwebercoaching Remember to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss "Information That You Can Use."

This week I cover Malbec, or Côt as it's known in its native home of Southwest France. This old red grape variety has long history in France and was once one of its most planted grapes. But due to pickiness in the vineyard and harshness in the bottle, Malbec fell out of favor in its native country. Despite being a big component in the Bordeaux blend, the grape remained in relative obscurity until it hit South America, particularly Argentina. Although it wasn't an overnight success, Malbec hung around Argentina for about 150 years and then got its moment in the sun (literally). Today 75% of the world's Malbec grows in Argentina. Photo: Malbec grape. Source: Getty Images via Canva   From a combination of factors and circumstances that worked perfectly for Malbec, the grape took on premium status in the 1990s and rocketed into fame through the 2000s. It was then that Cahors, the native home of the grape changed some of its techniques to make its native grape shine in a different style.

With more than 120 Jesuit high schools and universities in the US and Canada, it's no surprise education is what the Society of Jesus is best known for in our part of the world. And listeners to AMDG might be familiar with newer educational initiatives that have Jesuit roots, like the Cristo Rey Network of high schools or MiguelNativity presecondary schools or the relatively new handful of two-year colleges growing out of Jesuit universities. These last three initiatives were designed to serve students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. If you head to Central and South America, you'll find yet another innovative Jesuit-rooted approach to education that has been growing and transforming lives for more than 70 years: Fe y Alegría, which is Spanish for Faith and Joy, is an international education movement that was founded in Caracas, Venezuela in 1955 by a Jesuit named Fr. José María Vélaz. Today, the network is working in more than 20 countries in Latin America, Africa and Europe, and its mission is to provide quality education to people living in poverty and on the margins. Fe y Alegría serves well over a million students through schools, vocational training programs, and community education initiatives, all rooted in a commitment to human dignity. Fr. Marco Gómez, SJ, is the national director of Fe y Alegria in Panama. He joined host Mike Jordan Laskey for an interview during a recent speaking tour of the United States. Fr. Marco talked about his background and the important work Fe y Alegría is doing in Panama, where it is serving young people who are facing extremely difficult living situations. As American foreign and domestic policy decisions can have an impact on the lives of our neighbors here in this hemisphere, especially those who are already struggling with poverty and violence, we hope you'll find it both enlightening and challenging to hear Fr. Marco's perspective from his vantage point in Central America. And we hope you'll learn that Fe y Alegría movement is doing work all Jesuits and Catholics should be proud of, no matter where you live in the world.

Here’s a question that cuts to the heart of what makes sales hard: What do you do when your commodity is identical to every competitor’s, the buyer knows it, and the only lever they want to pull is price? That’s the challenge Ash from Chennai, India brought to me on a recent Ask Jeb episode. Ash works as a trader importing textile goods from Asian manufacturers and selling them into Spanish-speaking markets in South America and Spain. No proprietary product. No unique features. Pure commodity, all the way down. And yet Ash is holding customers. Getting repeat orders. Building relationships across borders and languages. He just needed a framework to understand why it was working and how to make it work even harder. The Trap Every Commodity Salesperson Falls Into When everything looks the same, most salespeople default to one of two bad moves: race to the bottom on price, or get paralyzed trying to explain a value they can’t articulate. Here is the brutal truth. Your buyer already knows the product is a commodity. They know they could go direct to the factory and cut you out entirely. They are not confused about that. What they are evaluating is whether the risk and hassle of cutting you out is worth the savings. Your job is to make sure the answer is always no. That requires you to stop thinking about what your product does and start thinking about what YOU do. Three Reasons Customers Keep Buying From Ash When I asked Ash why his good customers keep coming back, he gave me three answers that every salesperson in a commodity business needs to write down. You make it easy. Ash speaks Spanish. His customers speak Spanish. If they go direct to a Chinese or Vietnamese factory, they face language barriers, cultural friction, and communication breakdowns. Ash eliminates all of that. Business people will pay for less hassle. Time is money, and you are saving them both. You are someone they like and trust. Ash follows up. He wishes customers a happy New Year. He remembers what matters to them. That is not fluff. That is relationship equity that compounds over time. When customers feel like they can trust you, when a familiar voice picks up the phone, they do not want to start over with a stranger. You reduce financial risk. In Ash’s business, buyers put down a 20% deposit, sometimes a hundred thousand dollars or more, and pay the balance when the container arrives. The nightmare scenario is that container showing up full of the wrong product. Ash’s company has been operating for over 20 years. They do what they say they are going to do. That longevity is not just a stat. It is a security blanket. The Power of the Micro Story Knowing your value is half the battle. Being able to articulate it when a buyer pushes back on price is the other half. Here is what I told Ash: You need stories. Not case studies. Not bullet points. Short, vivid, real stories that make the risk of cutting you out feel tangible. Something like this: “I get it. You could go directly to the factory and save ten percent. Some of my customers tried that before working with me. One of them got a container full of product that was not what they ordered. It cost them more than they saved, and they had no one local, no one they trusted, to help them fix it. That is why they work with me now.” That story is doing three things at once. It validates the buyer’s instinct to compare prices. It quantifies the real cost of the cheaper alternative. And it positions you as the solution to a problem they have not had yet but definitely do not want. If you are newer to sales and do not have your own stories yet, go talk to your senior teammates. Read industry articles. Find examples of what goes wrong when buyers skip the middleman. Then make those stories part of your standard value conversation. Not Every Buyer Is Your Buyer This is the part that stings a little, but it is important. Some buyers are going to push back on your margins until the conversation goes nowhere. They will tell you the price they need, and if you cannot hit it, they will walk. That is okay. What they are telling you is that they do not value what you bring to the table. They want the cheapest option, and that is a legitimate business decision. They are just not your customer. Your job is not to convert every skeptic. Your job is to keep your pipeline full and find the buyers who genuinely value ease, safety, and responsiveness. Those are the ones who become long-term accounts. Those are the ones who, two or three years in, cannot imagine buying from anyone else. Ash is already doing this well. He has visited customers in Mexico, Colombia, and Spain. He has done office meetings and factory tours. When a customer says yes to a visit, they are telling you something: you matter to us. That is what I call an engagement test, and Ash is passing it. Your Value, Packaged Simply In commodity sales, your pitch does not need to be complicated. It needs to be consistent. Here is how I would frame it every time a buyer pushes back: I make this easy for you. I am responsive. And your money is safe with me. Then back each of those up with a story. That is the whole game. Not features. Not specs. You. When you are tired and ready to wrap up the day, remember this: the prospecting you do today pays you for the next three months. Pick up the phone and make one more call. The buyers who value what you do are out there. Go find them.

The young Mexican singer-songwriter Humbe is no stranger to posting short clips of his songs on TikTok. He feeds on the transparency between his artistic universe and the fans that flock to it like a moth to a flame. His authentic brand of soul, contemporary R&B, and Latin dance music triggers the algorithm time and time again, connecting with audiences across the globe. The latest album, Dueño del Cielo, marks another milestone in his artistic exploration, “looking into the sky when there's nothing left on the ground”. Filled with religious imagery, voice memos of lived experiences, and dreamy depictions of the chemistry behind human emotions, the album combines Humbe's candid lyricism with impressively passionate vocal performances.  Humbe's 2026 tour is ongoing with dates in North America, South America, and Europe. He takes a break from the road to play a stripped-down set with his band at our Manhattan studio. (- Sırma Munyar) Setlist: 1. Harry Stamper 2. Fantasmas 3. Morfina

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.It's March, the snow is slowly melting, and the world is turning green. Everywhere you look, stores are pushing the same movies about leprechauns and four-leaf clovers.I'm here to give you a break from the lucky charms and offer up four different movies for the green spring season.Soylent Green (1973)Set in a crowded, overheated dystopian future, Soylent Green follows New York City detective Robert Thorn as he investigates the murder of a wealthy businessman. By 2022, the world has been pushed to the edge by overpopulation, pollution, and food shortages. Most people survive on processed food rations distributed by the powerful Soylent Corporation: Soylent Yellow, Soylent Red, and their new product, Soylent Green.As the investigation unfolds, Thorn uncovers a conspiracy that reveals the shocking truth behind Soylent Green and reaches the highest levels of the Soylent Corporation.If you like classic 1970s science fiction with a darker edge and big ideas about the future, this one is for you.The Emerald Forest (1985)The Emerald Forest tells the story of a young boy, Tommy, who disappears while his father is working on a massive dam project in the Amazon rainforest. Bill Markham spends the next decade searching for his son, traveling deeper into the jungle and encountering the indigenous tribes who call the forest home.It's a story of love, loss, and hope set against the lush green backdrop of the Amazon rainforest.If you're in the mood for an adventure that feels different from the usual Hollywood formula, this one is worth pulling off the shelf.Romancing the Stone (1984)Romancing the Stone is often labeled an “Indiana Jones clone,” even though the script was written two years before Raiders of the Lost Ark.Romance novelist Joan Wilder is suddenly pulled into a real adventure when her sister is kidnapped in Colombia. To save her, Joan must deliver a mysterious treasure map deep into the jungle. What follows is a fast-moving adventure filled with treasure hunters, narrow escapes, and an unlikely partnership with a rugged fortune hunter.Much of the film takes place in the thick green jungles of South America, where the landscape becomes just as important as the story. The lush setting adds a sense of danger and excitement as the characters try to stay one step ahead of the people chasing the same treasure, a priceless emeraldRomancing the Stone is pure 80s adventure fun. If you like action, humor, and a little romance, this is an easy choice for movie night. The Green Mile (1999)The Green Mile takes place inside a prison during the Great Depression and follows a group of guards who oversee death row. The story centers on John Coffey, a kind, imposing inmate who arrives with a mysterious presence and an unexpected gentleness.The “green mile” is the nickname given to the stretch of green linoleum floor that prisoners walk on their way to the execution chamber. Over time, the guards realize the man walking the Green Mile possesses something extraordinary, turning a routine prison job into a powerful story about compassion, redemption, and humanity.Settle in for this epic. It's a powerful, character-driven story that blends drama, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

U.S. Central Command said the Iranian regime has been launching one-way attack drones and ballistic missiles from civilian areas in cities including Dezful, Esfahan, and Shiraz. CENTCOM said locations used for military operations can lose their protected status under international law and may become legitimate military targets. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that there would be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender, saying, "We're fighting to win."President Trump welcomed Latin American leaders to Florida on Saturday, announcing a new coalition, called Shield of the Americas, to help eradicate drug cartels. At least a dozen leaders from Central America, South America, and the Caribbean joined Trump in Florida and signed a proclamation launching the coalition. Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem now serves as special envoy for the Shield of the Americas.The NYPD said a third suspicious device has been recovered in connection with an explosive thrown during dueling protests outside Gracie Mansion on Saturday. Officers found the device in a vehicle on East End Avenue between 81st and 82nd Streets, temporarily evacuating nearby buildings. The NYPD confirmed the device was safely removed for testing, though the area remains closed to traffic.

Connecticut Warblers nest in the northern boreal forests, migrate through the Midwest, and winter in the rainforests of South America. Even with all that traveling, you rarely see one of these birds. Though their loud, ringing song might be easy to identify, it often seems to emanate from low in a tree when the warbler is perched high in the crown, frustrating birders from Canada to Brazil.

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.

In this episode Jeff opens with a candid explanation that this is a different kind of show — one meant to provoke thought rather than offer a tidy narrative. He responds to reactions from a previous Wednesday video, explains why particular clips and songs were used, and stresses that many of his choices were intentional and meant to reveal uncomfortable truths during what he calls disturbing times. The program includes a short "Word on Word" segment featuring two scripture selections (Isaiah 25:1 and 2 Corinthians 4:18) and encourages listeners to reflect on which verse resonates. From there the host shifts to current events, framing the Iran conflict as both a geopolitical crisis and a spiritual test that is exposing who people really are — from mainstream anchors to prominent alternative podcasters. He critiques the flip-flopping of media figures, warns about manipulation and confusion, and calls listeners to discernment. On geopolitics and military matters, the episode discusses recent U.S. demonstrations of advanced weapons (including a hypersonic missile launch presented as a show of capability), the evolving nature of precision strikes, and simultaneous U.S. actions in Central and South America. The host shares his personal conviction to trust the president in this moment while condemning war's human cost and urging compassion for soldiers and civilians alike. The conversation is also personal and practical: callers and listeners contribute by phone, sharing experiences from canvassing and community concerns. Topics include election corruption, social fragmentation, the rise of new media personalities, preparation and readiness, and the need to rebuild spiritual life and local communities. The host stresses silence, prayer, and preparation rather than panic. Key takeaways: Jeff believes God is "putting on a show" to reveal character and truth; listeners should practice discernment amid conflicting reports; maintain faith and prayer (including a Saturday night prayer meeting on Telegram); prepare practically and spiritually; and tune in Sunday for the next chapter in 2 Corinthians. Expect a frank, faith-centered take on war, media, politics, and community action.

In 1708, during the War of the Spanish Succession, the Spanish galleon San José sailed from South America carrying a vast cargo of gold and silver bound for Spain. Off the coast of present-day Colombia, British ships of war intercepted the galleon in a fierce naval clash. During the battle, the San José exploded and sank, taking its enormous treasure to the bottom of the Caribbean. My guest this week is Julian Sancton, author of Neptune's Fortune: The Billion-Dollar Shipwreck and the Ghosts of the Spanish Empire. He discusses the circumstances that led to the sinking of the San José and enigmatic Cuban archaeologist Roger Dooley's determined quest to locate the wreck deep beneath the sea.

The Trump Administration has announced its vision for America's future in the second half of the decade, starting in 2026, and running beyond his presidency. Given the cast of characters comprising the Trump White House, it is hard to believe that anything would be of interest to them which doesn't prioritize Israel, though they claim to be “America First”.In the State Department's “Strategic Plan 2026-2030”, Little Marco Rubio lays out a plan for the American Empire to dominate Latin America through exclusionary trade deals, predatory loans, and outright threats. The American Empire is announcing to the world that it has set its sights on South America for domination.

As Analytic Dreamz, I dissect this groundbreaking moment: the first live rendition of the track from her November 2025 album Lux, and the first onstage collaboration between Rosalía and Björk.Rosalía, in all-white attire, opened with an operatic German intro backed by the Heritage Orchestra's strings and a half-circle choir in blazers, evoking a cathedral atmosphere. Björk made a surprise entrance through the parted choir, delivering her hypnotic verse in avant-garde styling with a hovering beaded headpiece. The performance transformed into a full rave explosion: heavy synths, strobe lights, electronic beats, head-banging choreography, and an intense dance breakdown—blending symphonic drama, theatrical avant-garde, and underground club energy.This genre-bending spectacle followed Rosalía's win for Best International Artist, defeating Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Tyler, The Creator, Chappell Roan, and others—marking her as the first Spanish artist to claim a BRIT Award and a milestone for non-English-language music. Her acceptance speech emphasized celebrating otherness, cultural exchange, artistic freedom, and representation, quoting: “Let's keep celebrating different music, different cultures and different languages.”Lux, an ambitious 15-track opus spanning 13 languages with flamenco roots, experimental pop, orchestral elements (including London Symphony Orchestra), and electronic layers, set the stage for her upcoming Lux World Tour starting March 16, 2026, in Lyon, France—42 arena shows across 17 countries in Europe, North America, and South America.“Berghain,” despite the Berlin nightclub reference, explores inner psychological forests, darkness vs. light duality, moral ambiguity, and the artist's journey beside shadows for deeper understanding. The performance ignited viral buzz, critical acclaim as one of the most innovative BRIT moments, and tour hype—positioning Rosalía as a global cultural architect reshaping pop spectacle through fearless, high-art-to-rave fusions.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
