So, I see that a few of #WMPG's podcasts and shows are on the #InternetArchive. I've been downloading some of their more political shows to upload as a record of these times...

So, this is a timely topic! From the latest issue of #InTheseTimes! The connection between Amazon Deforestation and CEO land grabs in the Western United States -- bought with blood money!
Fortress Yellowstone
The #UltraRich are fortifying themselves inside one of America’s last intact #ecosystems—with money plundered from ecological #SacrificeZones around the world
by Joseph Bullington, April 6, 2026
Excerpt: "Some of these ultra-rich ranch owners celebrate the natural beauty of their land and are ardent conservationists when it comes to the Yellowstone ecosystem. In digging into their business dealings, however, I found that most of these landowners accumulated their wealth through industries that help drive the destruction of nature elsewhere. Their ranks include private equity investors, oil and gas billionaires and real estate developers. "
[...]
"Now, instead of forests full of fruits and animals and mandioca clearings, industrial soy plantations press in on #Açaizal like a closing fist. There is no escape from the onslaught of #monoculture. Manoel shows me where rows of broken cornstalks run right up against the edge of the community’s soccer field, which the soy farmers also want to plow. The soybeans and corn, like those in the United States, are genetically engineered to withstand the #herbicides and #pesticides the farmers dump on them to beat back weeds and pests, but the chemicals drift, says Manoel, making it impossible to grow fruits and vegetables and #mandioca nearby. The streams run low and full of poison."

#FBI records obtained by #TypeInvestigations and #InTheseTimes through a Freedom of Information Act request contradict the government’s claim that “AntiFa” poses an existential threat to national security. And several defense attorneys involved in the trial say the information should have been included in discovery.

Why are people blowing whistles during #BorderPatrol raids in #NorthCarolina? What to know
By Renee Umsted, November 18, 2025
#InTheseTimes also mentioned these #AntiICE #whistles in the latest issue...
"How to use whistles during ICE raids
Two types of whistle blows indicate different spottings.
- Blowing whistles in short bursts alerts people that agents are in the area.
- Blowing whistles in a long blast alerts people that agents are detaining someone.
In response to the whistles, bystanders can either move to safety or, to help spread awareness of agents in the area, head toward the sound and form a crowd."
