    Con Petro Colombia está a punto de una Guerra Civil

    Con Petro Colombia está a punto de una Guerra Civil

    En nuestro nuevo episodio de Border Wars Podcast conversamos sobre como ha afectado de manera negativa el Gobierno de Gustavo Petro el crecimiento económico en Colombia, trayendo así mayor desempleo, pobreza, inseguridad y el fortalecimiento de redes criminales transnacionales.

    Para hacer un claro análisis sobre la crisis social y polarización que vive Colombia, estuvo con nosotros, por segunda ocasión, María Fernanda Cabal, Senadora de la República de Colombia y una de las principales líderes opositoras al Gobierno de Gustavo Petro.

    ¿Podrá Gustavo Petro realizar una Asamblea Nacional Constituyente en Colombia como lo hizo Hugo Chávez en Venezuela? ¿Petro desencadenará una Guerra Civil? ¿Cuál es la incidencia de actores externos como Nicolás Maduro y el Foro de São Paulo en todo lo que está pasando en Colombia?

    Iran’s Houthi-Style Piracy Coming to the Caribbean

    Iran’s Houthi-Style Piracy Coming to the Caribbean

    On April 13, Iran unleashed an unprecedented drone and missile attack against Israel. This follows the brutal terrorist attack by Iran-sponsored Hamas against Israel on October 7, 2023, and arming the Houthi Rebels in Yemen to function as long-range pirates in the Red Sea. Since November, the Iran-backed Houthis have launched more than 40 attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, effectively choking off the Bab al-Mandab Strait and shutting down the Suez Canal. They did this by using armed drones, fast attack craft, guided missiles, and other armament provided to it by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

    For Episode 31 of the Border Wars Podcast, we sit down with Erik Prince, the founder of the private security company Blackwater and more recent co-founder of Unplugged, a secure software and smartphone, to explain how the Houthi-style long-range piracy tactics are coming to the Caribbean courtesy of Iran and Venezuela. We discuss how an impending conflict between Venezuela and Guyana, over a disputed border territory called the Essequibo, is an extension of Iran's proxy wars in the Middle East with the backing of Russia and China.

    Patria Unida por un México Valiente

    Patria Unida por un México Valiente

    En un nuevo episodio de Border Wars Podcast conversamos con Alicia Galván y Humberto López, fundadores de Patria Unida, un think thank de México con el propósito principal de levantar líderes en esa nación con la capacidad de defender las ideas de la libertad y la democracia en México.

    Las ideas del socialismo lideradas por el Presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) han traído un panorama de inestabilidad político-social para México; es así como Patria Unida, en el año 2022, se levantó como un movimiento, una voz para hacer oposición a la izquierda desde la sociedad civil.

    ¿Cómo es la conexión que existe entre el Presidente AMLO, el crimen organizado y las redes de narcotráfico? ¿Qué buscó el Presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador con la creación de una Guardia Nacional y su similitud con la Guardia Civil creada hace algunos años por Hugo Chávez en Venezuela? ¿Cuál es el propósito de AMLO al consolidar y establecer alianzas con Venezuela Rusia, Irán y China, y cómo esto trae riesgos para la estabilidad y seguridad del Hemisferio Occidental?

    Los invitamos ver este episodio para entender lo que sucede en México junto a los fundadores de Patria Unida, nuestro Director Ejecutivo Joseph Humire y el análisis de nuestro Investigador Senior José Gustavo Arocha.

    Próspera, Solving the Rule of Law in Central America

    Próspera, Solving the Rule of Law in Central America

    Central America has long been plagued with crime and corruption that has stifled foreign investment and slowed economic growth. That's where Próspera comes in. Próspera is a special economic zone or Zonas de Empleo y Desarrollo Económico (ZEDE) on the island of Roatán in the Central American country of Honduras. It's a legal autonomous zone with its own fiscal, regulatory, and administrative architecture - which is the key to its success and challenges. Not bound by the overburdened regulatory system of Honduras nor its complicated tax system, Prospera provides incentives for start-up companies and investors to thrive. More importantly it provides the legal framework for a stronger Rule of Law in a country whose current government is destroying the Rule of Law.

    For Episode 28 of the Border Wars Podcast we are joined by Nick Dranias, the general counsel of Próspera, to discuss the recent attacks made by the Xiomara Castro government in Honduras and efforts at indirect expropriation of foreign companies that are not Chinese or Russian. Who is behind these attacks? How far are they willing to go?

    Hezbollah on America’s Southern Border

    Hezbollah on America’s Southern Border

    The unprecedented crisis on America's southern border has enormous ramifications for U.S. national security. None more urgent than the significant rise of suspected terrorists encountered or apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border. With the global context of the escalating war in the Middle East by Iran and its proxies (Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah, etc.) - is America prepared for the Middle East war coming to the southern border?



    For Episode 27 of the Border Wars Podcast, we travel to Austin, Texas to sit down with Todd Bensman, a former Texas Department of Public Safety Counterterrorism analyst and intelligence manager and author of two bestselling books about the ongoing U.S. southern border crisis. Todd takes us through his twenty-plus years of experience investigating terrorism cases on the U.S. southern border and explains why "Hezbollah is the most dangerous designated terrorist group in the world."

AimeeO:) ,

Great listen.

This is an interesting and informative listen. The quality is top notch, which is a big deal if you’re an avid podcast listener. Pretty eye opening and that’s coming from someone who was born and raised in Brownsville, Texas where some of these episodes take place. Nice job guys. Looking forward to more.
