En este episodio, conversamos con la profesora de derecho y filosofía Joanna Guerra y la experta en blockchain Mariana Carmona sobre el nuevo gobierno de Claudia Sheinbaum, así como los desafíos críticos que México enfrenta en la actualidad. Tanto Guerra como Carmona son profesionales talentosas en sus ámbitos y, como muchos de la clase media y alta-media en México, están planeando dejar el país pronto. Ellas predicen que Sheinbaum continuará la agenda de AMLO pero con un tinte más autoritario. Morena, su partido político, ha asegurado mayoría significativa en el Congreso, permitiendo que sean ellos quienes pongan a los jueces de la Corte Suprema. De acuerdo con la reforma judicial más reciente, las funciones ejecutiva y legislativa pueden elegir directamente a algunos magistrados. Ellas mencionan que el creciente interés de China para invertir en el país puede afectar las relaciones con Estados Unidos y afectar a los mexicanos. Las compañías chinas usualmente llevan su fuerza de trabajo, mientras que las

In this video, Hodgson presents the book as an essential guide to modern conservative thought. Harper eloquently argues that conservatism is about “seeing the world as it is,” rather than striving for ideological purity. He emphasizes the significance of the nation-state as a crucial institution, countering globalist dominance. He believes that the nation-state provides a core identity for people, and that patriotism should be embraced—especially within Western civilization. During times of rapid innovation and uncertainty, people naturally gravitate toward their nations. "Right Here, Right Now" offers insightful ideas on how conservatives can navigate these disruptive t

Those who now control the Democrat Party intend to turn our country into a dictatorship. Calling Democrats incompetent implicitly conveys they have good intentions. To preserve liberty, we must recognize we face an amoral machine that seeks power at all costs. Watch our Editor-at-Large Steve Hecht discussing how tying the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to a continuing spending resolution provides an opportunity to show Democrats' priority is to win elections through cheating.

The negative adjectives that apply to this film are many. However, the tragedy is that his feeble attempt at comedy derails what could have been a historic examination and humiliation of race hustlers. Fergus Hodgson offers a thorough review of Walsh’s latest film, “Am I Racist?,” which attempts to address DEI issues through a mockumentary lens. Hodgson critiques the film's lack of focus and comedic missteps, highlighting what could have been a powerful message.

Discount code (10 percent) for Edge Designations: FERG https://edgedesignations.com/ The ESG framework is a progressive agenda that harms market prospects for both companies and national economies. Yet, it has managed to gain widespread traction. The number of ESG exchange-traded funds (ETFs) went from $12 billion in 2006 to $1,826 billion in 2023, an increase of over 15,000 percent! This result emanates from the perverse incentives of big companies in rich countries to toe the ideological line of the governments with which they collude. In his latest article, Nicholas Virzi explains why the ESG framework harms developing countries. It pressures developing country governments to apply untested theories that they did not themselves consider, much less follow, in their developmental paths. This is the third in a series of Impunity Observer articles that expose the problems associated with applying the ESG framework to developing countries.

He explains the challenges and successes of managing a startup political organization focused on free markets and individualism in the classical-liberal tradition. After four years of inactivity, the Atlantic Party re-entered the political scene in 2016, contesting the 2017 and 2021 provincial elections. While they did not secure seats in the legislature, Smyth believes they shifted Nova Scotia's political dialogue. In April 2024, the Atlantica Party opted to deregister, given a lack of volunteers. However, Smyth contends that operating the Atlantica Party was a worthwhile endeavor, albeit from the margins. Despite modest electoral results, the party succeeded in bringing classic-liberal concerns to the electorate. Several of their proposals

Contrary to her acceptance-speech claim that her sole client is the people, Kamala Harris is a handpicked frontman for an amoral, antidemocratic regime. While regime media falsely portray her as caring, regime policies direct people from south of the border straight into the hands of Mexican cartels that enslave children and rape women. In his latest analysis, Editor-at-Large Steve Hecht examines the consequences of Harris's foreign policies and alliances in Central America, particularly Guatemala.

Chinese Mining in Nicaragua: A Window into the Sandinista Dictatorship The impact of Chinese mining in Nicaragua goes far beyond the environment. It raises critical questions about governance, sovereignty, and the future of the nation under the Sandinista regime.

El aumento de la migración hondureña durante el gobierno de Xiomara Castro ha puesto en evidencia la ineficiencia de sus políticas socialistas, así como del oportunismo y clientelismo reinante entre la élite política emergente. Salvador Nasralla, en calidad de primer designado presidencial de Honduras, fue testigo de ello desde que asumió el cargo en 2022. Bajo el argumento de que no tenía capacidad de influencia política, ni autorización para hacer su trabajo, renunció y lanzó su precandidatura presidencial con el Partido Liberal. Nasralla se mantiene como una figura política prominente y asegura que es el opositor con mayor posibilidad de ganar al partido oficialista. En esta entrevista exclusiva con el Impunity Observer, Nasralla –ex presentador de televisión y candidato presidencial en dos ocasiones anteriores– explica cuáles son los mayores desafíos actuales que enfrenta Honduras. También aborda los riesgos a los que se enfrenta Honduras por el reciente fortalecimiento de las relaciones con China y l

What happened in Venezuela after the announcement of the faux electoral results, was a major concern for the international left. One of its main allies, the “son of Hugo Chávez,” had committed a monumental fraud in broad daylight and was massacring the people. How could they tackle the crisis, so that the left did not sink along with him? Antonio Peña Esclusa explains the socialist's narrative, implemented by Lula da Silva and his allies to address this issue, in his latest article translated by the Impunity Observer.

Los grupos gemelos del Foro de Sao Paulo y el Grupo de Puebla se reunieron a finales de junio en Honduras para planificar su nueva ofensiva autoritaria en la región, todo bajo el auspicio del gobierno socialista de Xiomara Castro. Maribel Espinoza, diputada del Congreso de Honduras, teme que, siguiendo esta línea, el gobierno no apruebe el presupuesto del Consejo Nacional Electoral a tiempo, lo que impediría que se realicen las elecciones primarias de los partidos opositores en marzo de 2025. Espinoza, quien es precandidata a la presidencia de la República, asegura que, si gana en las elecciones de noviembre de 2025, implementará una serie de reformas liberales para frenar la corrupción enquistada en las instituciones y promover la seguridad jurídica para atraer inversiones al país.

Many Third-World nations have valuable natural resources within their borders. Converting them into lasting economic development, rather than a one-off shot in the arm, is easier said than done. The first step is to consider the perspectives of investors, and our Publisher Fergus Hodgson argues that the investor’s perspective is found in Investing in Resources (341 pages, 2010) by Adrian Day. Hodgson reviews Day's book, and explains why it offers gems for open-minded policymakers.

El presidente de Guatemala, Bernardo Arévalo, visitó a la presidenta de Honduras, Xiomara Castro, antes del Foro de São Paulo en Tegucigalpa, Honduras, del 27 al 29 de junio de 2024. Según Ricardo Méndez, presidente de la Fundación contra el Terrorismo, esta reunión podría impactar negativamente la aprobación de Arévalo entre sus electores. Guatemala es un país predominantemente conservador, y sus ciudadanos podrían comprender mejor las asociaciones de Arévalo con los regímenes comunistas y dictaduras de la región. Méndez también sostiene que, mientras el Foro de São Paulo y sus representantes mantengan el poder en la región, el crimen organizado y el narcotráfico proliferarán. Explica que estos regímenes dependen del desorden y las instituciones débiles para implementar sus agendas y consolidar su poder.
