This week marks the 1-year anniversary of Trump's boat strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific oceans. On September 2, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the first air strike on a boat in the Caribbean. Trump said the boat allegedly carried drugs off the coast of Venezuela. It marked the beginning of a hostile U.S. foreign policy that has seen the U.S. invade Venezuela, unleash a devastating oil blockade on Cuba, and justify it all under a renewed Monroe Doctrine, which the President is calling his Donroe Doctrine.Meanwhile, the boat strikes have continued until today, even though Trump administration officials say they have not actually decreased the amount of drugs arriving on U.S. soil. As of this week, the U.S. government has attacked at least 68 boats over the last year, killing more than 220 people.The Trump administration is now using his foreign policy to attack progressive opponents at home, labelling them pawns of Cuba, and "one of the single largest, most sophisticated and dangerous vectors for hostile foreign influence in modern American history."In this episode, Michael Fox walks through the anniversary of the boat strikes. He dissects a new Cuban report published by the State Department to attack dissidents at home, and then looks at the regional resistance to Trump at the Panamerican Congress, which was held in August in Montevideo, Uruguay. This is Episode 13 of Under the Shadow, Season 2.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present.

Yon says the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed and argues conflicts are interconnected, predicting flashpoints including the Falklands/Malvinas involving Argentina, possible spillover into Brazil and Uruguay, and wider fighting affecting Europe and the North Sea. He emphasizes hydraulic warfare, describing how dams on the Nile (GERD in Ethiopia), Euphrates (Atatürk Dam), Tigris (Mosul Dam), and China's Three Gorges could be used for famine and destruction. He also discusses Tibet/Nepal flood events, chokepoints like Suez, Gibraltar/Ceuta, Bab-el-Mandeb, Panama, and Malacca, plus language, migration, intoxicants, music, demographic, and economic warfare. 00:00 Morning Intro in Japan 00:32 Baby Due Soon 01:38 Kiri Tree Tradition 04:16 Hormuz and Global War 05:48 South Atlantic Flashpoints 08:15 Nepal Disaster and Tibet 13:24 Hydraulic Warfare Explained 15:13 Egypt and the Nile Dams 29:45 Turkey Iraq and China Dams 34:28 Prayer Wheel Spycraft 36:35 Local Flood Risks and Drought 38:53 Ceuta Flashpoint 39:32 Gibraltar Chokepoint History 41:16 Phosphate Power Politics 41:43 Global Chokepoints Strategy 45:05 Florida And Brazil Predictions 48:22 Ceuta Migrants As Weapon 51:32 Language Warfare Morocco 56:27 Books Burned And Forecasts 59:17 Safe Havens And Zionism 01:02:49 Cults And Empire Origins 01:05:51 Warfare Taxonomy Explained 01:12:36 Corporate Superstructure Wrap 01:15:01 Closing Thanks And Anecdote
On this day, 3 September 1940, Uruguayan radical author and journalist Eduardo Hughes Galeano was born in Montevideo. He was imprisoned following the military coup in the country in 1973, and forced into exile in Argentina. His book Open Veins of Latin America was banned by governments in Uruguay as well as Chile and Argentina. After the US-backed military coup in Argentina, he was again forced to flee after being singled out for execution by the death squads. He returned to Montevideo after democratisation, and lived there until his death in 2015.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10254/eduardo-hughes-galeano-bornOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Johnny announces his next one-week Latin American Insider seminar in Guatemala and El Salvador (November 14–20, 2026). Go to Expatplanb.com for signup details: The difference betweenkilowatts (power rate) and kilowatt-hours (energy used or stored), a common source of confusion for people considering solar systems. A Panama listener mixed up the terms (calling a 5 kW inverter “5 kWh” and a 40 kWh battery “40 kW”); the real issue was an underpowered inverter that couldn't handle three mini-split ACs at night. Advice for solar shoppers: Ask the salesperson to explain the difference between kilowatts and kilowatt-hours — if they can't, walk away. A modern 1-ton AC unit typically draws about 800–1,000 watts; look for a SEER rating of 20+ for much better efficiency than older units. Brazilian president Lula's Bolsa Família program is mentioned critically for tying cash payments to children's vaccinations. A Mexican national living in the U.S. was arrested in Colombia for defrauding U.S. COVID relief programs of more than $1 million. A new retirement-cost study shows a middle-class American needs roughlya $738,000 nestegg to retire comfortably in the U.S.; most Latin American countries require less than half that amount (Costa Rica and Uruguay are the most expensive in the region). Practical warnings about renting in Latin America: verbal promises from landlords often don't match the written Spanish contract, tenants are usually responsible for appliance repairs, and full security deposits are rarely returned. Strong recommendation to use WhatsApp for all landlord communications (for a permanent record) and to run any Spanish rental or purchase contract through Grok or ChatGPT before signing.

La semana pasada Fábrica Nacionales de Cerveza anunció el cierre de su planta de Minas, que tenía 59 trabajadores que desde julio se encontraban en seguro de paro. FNC argumenta que producir cerveza en Uruguay tiene costos muy superiores a hacerlo en Brasil o Argentina, relacionados a costos laborales, energéticos y logísticos. ¿Qué nos dice el cierre de la planta de Minas sobre la industria cervecera? ¿Y qué nos dice sobre los problemas de competitividad que enfrenta la producción industrial en Uruguay?

After three months living in Uruguay with Boundless Life from April - June, we wrapped up this chapter—but apparently not quite ready to leave. In fact, we loved it so much that we've decided to come back for another three months in September.In this final episode of the Boundless Life series, I'm sharing a short and honest reflection on what these three months have meant for our family—the highs, the hard moments, and everything in between.This experience wasn't always easy. We navigated a death in the family, a major back injury, and plenty of the emotional ups and downs that come with living overseas with young kids. But somehow, Uruguay gave us exactly what we needed: a slower pace, a strong sense of community, more time together, and the space to actually experience life rather than constantly rushing through it.We talk about what surprised us most about Uruguay, why we've fallen in love with this little corner of the world, our experience with Boundless Life's education program, and why their new fully bilingual English/Spanish program in Uruguay is especially exciting for our family.I also share what slow travel has taught us about how we want to travel and raise our kids—and why spending three to six months in one place feels so much better for our family than constantly moving from destination to destination.And yes… we're coming back.
Albariño usually means Spain or Portugal. This week, we travel much farther south to see whether the grape has found a legitimate second home in Uruguay.We taste the 2025 Bodega Garzón Reserva Albariño, a coastal white wine packed with grapefruit, green apple, floral aromas, bright acidity, and a salty finish. Does Uruguay bring something new to the grape, or has Bodega Garzón recreated the Spanish Albariño experience for around $20?We also explore why Uruguay's Atlantic coast suits Albariño, reveal how heavily the country is investing in the grape, and play a Uruguay-themed round of Grape Guesses.Wine detailsWine: Bodega Garzón Reserva AlbariñoVintage: 2025Region: Maldonado, UruguayGrape: 100% AlbariñoAlcohol: 13% ABVPrice: Approximately $20Wine provided by Winebow!

On 31st October 2004, Uruguayans voted to enshrine water as a human right in their constitution, the first country in the world to do so. The so-called water referendum was organised by an alliance of residents' associations, trade unions, scientists, and environmentalists. Campaigners on horseback criss-crossed the country, they held community meetings in towns and villages across Uruguay and collected 283,000 signatures, the number required to make the government hold a plebiscite, which they overwhelmingly won. The campaign began when two local water companies were privatised and residents complained that those who could not afford the fees were cut off from the water supply.Six years after Uruguay's referendum, the United Nations General Assembly declared water and sanitation a universal human right and 30 countries have since included the right to water in their constitutions.Carmen Sosa, a member of the water workers trade union, tells Grace Livingstone how they galvanised the country.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive. Each weekday, in around nine minutes, we revisit one moment that helped shape the world and hear it through the voice of someone who was there. Scientists, artists, campaigners, soldiers, leaders and everyday people tell their true stories.When you subscribe to Witness History, you'll be taken inside turning points in world affairs from West Africa's fight back against Boko Haram in 2015 to the behind-closed-doors talks that led to the US-Cuba “thaw” and the surprise announcement of restored relations. You'll discover what it was like to experience disasters and how people recovered from them, including the Tabasco floods in Mexico, Portugal's worst train disaster, and the huge clean-up after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. You'll explore culture and ideas too: Sweden's Expedition Robinson, often credited as the first modern reality TV game show; the friendship between The Beatles' George Harrison and Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar; and the night a tiger attack brought Las Vegas superstars Siegfried and Roy's show to a sudden end. And if you're curious about inventions, we'll tell you how air fryers, BlackBerry, YouTube, Alexa, GPS, superglue, the shopping cart (shopping trolley) and bubble tea were created.If you're new to Witness History, the appeal is simple: real voices, one strong true story, and a fresh way to understand today through events from history – all in the time it takes to enjoy a cup of tea or a walk around the block.

Este documental explica por qué América Latina parece haber girado a la derecha en apenas unos años, pero muestra que el fenómeno no es una conversión ideológica permanente: es un péndulo que castiga a quien gobierna cuando fallan la economía, la seguridad y el costo de vida. Desde la primera “marea rosa” financiada por el boom de materias primas hasta la actual ola de presidentes conservadores, sigue cómo la dependencia de cobre, soya y petróleo, la deuda, el bajo crecimiento y el crimen empujan a los votantes a cambiar de bando… mientras quienes más pagan cada ajuste son los trabajadores informales que no tienen margen para sobrevivir otra crisis.Convierte tu café en algo más que una rutina. ☕Adquiere tu bolsa de Café el Capital aquí: https://cafeelcapital.com/s/86d69f00:00 – Diez países eligen gobiernos de derecha en menos de tres años, pero México y Uruguay mantienen la izquierda.01:52 – Latinoamérica no “gira” por ideología: castiga al gobierno cuando fallan economía, deuda o seguridad.02:42 – El boom de materias primas impulsado por China financió la primera marea rosa de los 2000.03:51 – El extractivismo dejó economías dependientes de cobre, soya y petróleo; cuando bajaron los precios, llegó la crisis.04:24 – Inflación y estancamiento provocan el primer giro: Argentina, Bolivia y Brasil castigan a la izquierda entre 2015 y 2016.05:12 – La segunda marea rosa llega entre 2018 y 2022, pero enfrenta pandemia, informalidad y bajo crecimiento.06:20 – Crimen, deuda y falta de crecimiento pesan más que el discurso: en Perú y Colombia la seguridad domina la elección.07:32 – Milei baja la inflación, pero suben pobreza, deuda de hogares y pérdidas de empleo privado.08:29 – El giro político también redefine contratos: Estados Unidos busca frenar la influencia económica de China en la región.11:48 – El patrón se repite: América Latina no vota ideología; vota resultados y cambia de gobierno cuando las cosas empeoran.

Now he's trying to export the same playbook across the global South. We talk through how Uruguay pulled it off — the hydro “battery” for wind & solar “baseload,” the cross-party political deal, the market redesign — and what actually transfers to countries without the same advantages.

Could you actually retire abroad on one Social Security check?The average retired American worker receives about $2,081 a month from Social Security. In many U.S. cities, that may barely cover the basics. But take that same check abroad and suddenly the retirement math can look dramatically different.The catch? Cheap doesn't automatically mean retire-able.A city might have $300 rent, fabulous food and gorgeous weather, but if you can't qualify for legal residency, access quality healthcare or comfortably live there as an LGBTQ+ person, you haven't found a retirement destination. You've found a vacation.In this episode of Queer Money®, we rank five gay-friendly cities where an average Social Security benefit could potentially support a modest retirement, while also considering LGBTQ+ acceptance and whether there's a realistic path to legal residency.Our countdown takes us from Medellín, Colombia, to Coimbra, Portugal, Montevideo, Uruguay, Cuenca, Ecuador, and finally, Chiang Mai, Thailand.And some of the numbers may have you checking airfare before the episode is over.
What does it take to move evidence-based corrections across cultures — and make reform survive the real world? In this episode of The Criminologist Podcast, Joseph Arvidson sits down with Chilean psychologist and correctional reform specialist Carolina Báez Hernández for a wide-ranging conversation about evidence-based practice, Risk-Need-Responsivity, implementation, culture, leadership, and the realities of correctional reform. Joe and Carolina first met in Barcelona at the International Training School on Core Correctional Skills, where Joe was an instructor and Carolina was a participant. Their professional paths later crossed again in Uruguay, where Carolina joined Joe during his Fulbright Specialist work with prison professionals, and most recently in Bali, where they presented together at the World Congress on Probation and Parole. Their conversation explores questions that matter far beyond any single country or correctional system: • What happens when evidence-based models developed in one setting are introduced into another culture? • How do we balance fidelity with adaptation? • Why is implementation rarely just a technical problem? • What roles do politics, culture, leadership, and narrative play in whether reform succeeds or collapses? • What can Latin America teach the rest of the world about rehabilitation, resilience, and justice reform? One of the central themes of the episode is simple but powerful: Good evidence is not enough. Reform succeeds or fails in the space between research and implementation. For probation and parole professionals, correctional leaders, researchers, policymakers, educators, and anyone interested in making evidence-based practice work in the real world, this is a conversation you will not want to miss.

¿Qué lugar de tu casa necesita urgentemente un poco de orden? Tal vez es ese clóset que ya no puedes cerrar, una cocina donde nunca parece haber suficiente espacio o ese rincón donde las cosas simplemente se van acumulando. Pero ¿y si el problema no fuera la falta de espacio, sino la manera en que lo estamos utilizando?Gaby Saavedra, organizadora profesional, nos cuenta su historia, cómo llegó al mundo de la organización y qué ha descubierto sobre lo que realmente hay detrás del desorden. Hablamos, sobre todo, de cómo crear sistemas de organización que funcionen en la vida real y que podamos mantener incluso cuando la vida se complica.Gabriela es venezolana, nacida en Uruguay y criada entre diferentes culturas, experiencias y lugares que despertaron en ella una gran curiosidad y sensibilidad por los pequeños detalles. Egresada en Educación, ejerció en el Colegio Humboldt de Caracas. Actualmente reside en la Ciudad de México, donde comenzó una nueva etapa en su vida y hoy canaliza su creatividad tanto en el mundo de los postres como en la organización y transformación de espacios, creando ambientes funcionales, armónicos y llenos de personalidad. Hablamos de algo que muchas veces se pasa por alto cuando pensamos en organización: antes de poner etiquetas, hay que escuchar y entender cómo vive realmente una persona. Porque no se trata de copiar esa despensa perfecta que vimos en Instagram. Nuestras rutinas, viajes, temporadas, familia y estilo de vida determinan cómo debería funcionar un espacio para nosotros.Gaby explica por qué un sistema solo funciona cuando está diseñado para la persona que realmente lo va a utilizar, y cómo hacer que las cosas sean visibles, accesibles y fáciles de devolver a su lugar para mantener el orden sin sentir que estamos organizando constantemente.También hablamos de cómo desprendernos de las cosas con menos culpa y mayor claridad, especialmente cuando se trata de regalos, objetos heredados o todas esas cosas que guardamos “por si acaso”. ¿Cuándo donar? ¿Cuándo vender? ¿Y por qué posponer esas decisiones muchas veces termina llevándonos nuevamente al mismo desorden?Si quieres ideas realistas para despejar espacios, organizar tu clóset y crear una casa más tranquila y funcional que se adapte a tu vida, y no al revés, escúchanos y descubre "El Método de Gaby"@elmetododegabySend BEHAS a text.Support the showTo Share - Connect & Relate:Share Your Thoughts and Shape the Show!

En este episodio nos hacemos una pregunta tan simple como enorme: ¿por qué algunos países logran enriquecerse de forma sostenida mientras otros se estancan? La respuesta tiene mucho que ver con la innovación, pero no entendida solamente como inventar tecnología nueva. Hablamos de cómo el conocimiento se acumula, cómo aumenta la productividad, por qué la destrucción creativa es una parte inevitable del progreso y qué enseñan economistas como Schumpeter, Solow, Romer, Mokyr, Aghion y Howitt sobre el crecimiento de largo plazo. También bajamos la discusión a Uruguay: cuánto innovamos, qué nos falta, por qué adoptar tecnología puede ser tan importante como crearla y qué oportunidades abre la inteligencia artificial para mejorar la productividad de empresas que ya existen. Y, como siempre, terminamos llevándolo al terreno del inversor, analizando casos como ASML y Nvidia y una idea clave: una empresa puede ser extraordinariamente innovadora y aun así ser una mala inversión si pagamos demasiado por ella. Un episodio sobre progreso, productividad, tecnología, empresas y la capacidad de adaptarse antes de quedar del lado equivocado de la próxima innovación. Por qué los países que innovan se vuelven más ricos

Evan Ellis explores the landscape of Uruguay, a stable country navigating the trade interests of its neighbors, Brazil and Argentina. The discussion shifts to Colombia's newly elected president, Abelardo de la Espriella, whose inauguration in a high-security zone signals a pivot toward closer alignment with the United States. Ellis also addresses the complex situation in Venezuela, where the U.S. is negotiating with the relatively unknown Dinorah Figuera rather than more prominent opposition figures. Regional stability is further threatened by an explosion of homicides in Uruguay and the presence of millions of Venezuelan refugees in Colombia. (3)
C Lieven expresses skepticism regarding Russian influence in German elections, noting that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is genuinely popular due to anti-immigration stances and skepticism toward funding Ukraine. Meanwhile, the UK faces budget constraints that hinder promised military spending increases. A migration crisis involving thousands of people attempting to enter EU territory from Morocco has triggered emergency meetings. Nationalist parties in Europe may move toward total immigration bans to satisfy their core supporters. (1)Kevin Hoy discusses the detection of a Jupiter-mass object orbiting the brown dwarf CD-35 2722b, which may represent the first confirmed exosatellite or exomoon. Using the radial velocity method, researchers identified a "wobble" in the spectrum of the brown dwarf, indicating a secondary body in a highly eccentric 170-day orbit. This discovery is a significant milestone for astrophysics, as it helps scientists understand planetary formation processes outside our solar system. Hoy explains that such objects are difficult to find because technology is often limited by the brightness and proximity of host stars. Future mapping of nearby systems could involve high-power radar technology. (2)Evan Ellis explores the landscape of Uruguay, a stable country navigating the trade interests of its neighbors, Brazil and Argentina. The discussion shifts to Colombia's newly elected president, Abelardo de la Espriella, whose inauguration in a high-security zone signals a pivot toward closer alignment with the United States. Ellis also addresses the complex situation in Venezuela, where the U.S. is negotiating with the relatively unknown Dinorah Figuera rather than more prominent opposition figures. Regional stability is further threatened by an explosion of homicides in Uruguay and the presence of millions of Venezuelan refugees in Colombia. (3)Bradley Bowman warns of the unprecedented military cooperation between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, documented in 616 instances of security collaboration. Russia has transferred advanced technology, such as Su-35 fighters and submarine quieting techniques, to China to secure support for its war in Ukraine. Simultaneously, Iran provides drones and targeting data to help Russia strike Ukrainian targets and U.S. forces in the Middle East. North Korea has supplied thousands of soldiers and munitions to the European front. Bowman emphasizes that the U.S. defense industrial base is currently a shadow of its World War II capacity. (4)Harry Sidebottom describes the reality of Roman gladiators, noting they were often heavy-set due to a carbohydrate-rich diet designed to provide protective fat. These fighters were glamorous figures who enacted Roman virtues of courage and physical strength for the public. While many were slaves or prisoners, others were free men who volunteered to escape grinding poverty. Most gladiators fought only once or twice a year, with a survival rate of roughly seven in eight. The segment also notes a rare historical instance where a Roman audience felt sympathy for elephants being massacred in the arena. (5)Peter Berkowitz analyzes the work of Professor Patrick Deneen, who argues that liberal democracy is a "curse" that has atomized American society. Deneen presents contradictory accounts of whether liberalism was a founding principle or a 20th-century imposition. He advocates for a "regime change" toward a pre-liberal order that prioritizes biblical faith and classical virtue over individual rights. Berkowitz notes that Deneen's ideas have influenced figures like Vice President JD Vance, who has publicly endorsed Deneen's work. The critique suggests that Machiavellian means and state coercion may be necessary to restore a Christian foundation to the nation. (6)Jack Burnham explains the FCC's efforts to prohibit military-grade, foreign-produced drones, specifically targeting Chinese firms like DJI due to security concerns. These "dual-use" systems are defined by their ability to carry heavy loads and utilize advanced sensor arrays. A significant security gap exists because critical infrastructure like power grids and hospitals lacks the same protections afforded to airports and military bases. Burnham cites a 2024 arrest of a man flying an unregistered drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base in California as evidence of the threat. The Trumpadministration has issued executive orders to secure American airspace from unidentified objects. (7)Mary Anastasia O'Grady reports Keiko Fujimori has secured the Peruvian presidency by a narrow margin, inheriting a nation plagued by organized crime and Chinese influence. Fujimori faces an immediate crisis with the expected arrival of El Niño in September, which threatens the fishing industry and may cause floods. Transnational criminal organizations involved in extortion and illegal mining present a strategic threat to property rights and small businesses. Additionally, China's construction of the Chancay port and heavy mining investments have granted Beijing significant political leverage. Fujimori must now balance these economic realities while attempting to restore the rule of law. (8)Corrections applied: Mary Anastasia O'Grady as directed; Abelardo de la Espriella (transcribed as "Delospria," segment 3 — matching prior batches); and Patrick Deneen (transcribed as "Denine," segment 6 — the Notre Dame political theorist). One to flag: Kevin Hoy (segment 2) — I couldn't verify this astronomer's name, and the brown dwarf designation (rendered as "CD352722b," which I've set as CD-35 2722b) suggests the transcription may be rough. Worth checking against the booking sheet.

Sal and Mark are back. This week they bring on Aaron Day to expose what is really inside the Clarity Act, what the politicians claim it does versus what it actually does, and why he believes it could be the largest surveillance bill in United States history. From freezing your funds without a warrant to giving foreign central banks access to your transaction history, the details are alarming. They also cover which cryptocurrencies they believe are the best hedge against a growing technocratic state, the case for Zano and Freedom Dollar, and how to get started in agorism through crypto meetups and conferences. Learn more about Aaron Day's analysis at day2026.com Mark also interviews Vance from My Latin Life about how easy it actually is to get Mexican residency and why it may be the best Plan B available today. They cover temporary versus permanent residency, what it costs, income requirements, and the fact that Mexican permanent residency requires zero physical presence to maintain.
