    Today, I present my interview with Sam, an esteemed activist and writer from Eastern Canada. She contributes articles to Medium.com and manages her own website at www.world-weary.com.

    Our conversation spanned topics from recent politics in Canada and the United States to environmental issues, such as the western wildfires, mining, and other international concerns.

    As a prominent LGBTQ+ advocate, she consistently leverages her writing platforms to champion their rights.

  • The Village Oak Tree Sunday Edition July 28th, 2024

    This Sunday, my friend Mitch and I are back to talk about the things in the news that affect all of us one way or another right now. Everything from politics to the environment and everything in between.

    Our first subject is Mitch's revelation about how banks are issuing old money as if it were new bills. Is there something going on with the banks and the Federal Reserve we don't know about?

    The biggest topic of the week is of course the passing of the baton to Kamala Harris a week ago and what has been going on since.

    We also delve into the war in Gaza and Ukraine, what we think V.P. Harris's stand on that might be, given her past and latest speech after meeting the Israeli P.M. Truthfully, we are unsure and want to see more.

    I brought up an article I found about recycling plastic, and we talk about how recycling or not, is being handled in our communities. How the world can't live without plastic, but we can't live with it either, as far as waste is concerned.

    We talk a little bit about the pro-Palestine protests and how they are planning to return in full form come September after the summer break.

    We discuss the pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq this fall and how that may affect foreign policy.

    Trump's latest speech to a Christian Nationalist convention telling them that if he is elected, they don't have to worry about voting again in four years.

    We talk about how ominous that sounds. Come join us again to find out if any of these news stories have an effect on your thinking.

    At the end of the program, I read you another chapter from Michael Campi's serialized story, The Priest (formerly known as Bob) to continue to highlight what the U.S may look alike after the crash.

  • Interview with Angela Fontaine

    This week, I bring everyone my interview with a local woman who is running for the local school board in district 4, here in Richmond, Virginia. She is a job coach and works a bit in social services, while juggling a family and running her business.

    I wanted to interview her to try and showcase people who are working hard in the local communities where I live. This applies to all communities around the country. I want this to be an inspiration to all aspiring entrepreneurs who want to make a difference where they live.

    Ms. Fontaine is working very hard to bring a sense of normalcy to her local school board. More common sense instead of panic over curriculum and library books. Come listen to what she has to say about her company and her struggles to run for elected office and see if you can take some inspiration to follow her example. Go make a difference in your community.

    This short podcast is another weekend commentary about current affairs and my take based on facts, such as they are from the news feeds, that affect ordinary people who are struggling to make ends meet on a daily basis.

    I invite anyone who finds this to offer their opinions by liking, replying and subscribing to this channel. We can't make change unless we know what is going on and we won't know what is going on if we don't get our heads out of the mainstream media bubbles they try to keep us in for the benefit of the establishment.

    Rise up, seize the day away from the wealthy elitists who want to keep us all chained to the grindstone. We don't have to live this way. We outnumber them and they know it. It's time we show the establishment that they do have a reason to fear us with our votes. We don't have to vote for who they tell is to. We can tell them who we want in office. Make a stand before that is taken away from us, like so many other civil rights lately.

    Once more, my friends and I get together and talk about the things that matter most to us. From home repairs to current events. The trouble is, we recorded the show before the events of last Saturday night and the world has dramatically changed in just four short days.

    I invite you to watch the video anyway as a way to try and understand that we are just like all of you. Ordinary people, dealing with ordinary things on a daily basis and trying to keep up with everything the world is throwing at us every day.

    I don't know about you, but I can't keep up with it all and it makes me upset and depressed. I am a fighter but even fighters get tired of fighting with no end in sight.

    This another Sunday edition that I bring up current affairs affecting everyone in the United States right now, today and going forward. I offer my own analysis based on the news feeds I have found and my own personal military experience. Also my thoughts on all of this election rhetoric and navigating through the crap being flung everywhere.

    At the end, I read Michael Campi's part 4 of The Priest as a counterpoint to what may be coming for us if we don't get our act together quickly.

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!

    I wanted to get ahead of my upcoming interview today to talk about CRT and my thoughts on all of this business of perceived racial superiority and white European exceptionalism.

    There is no such thing other than in certain people's fevered minds. My guest has a choice word for those who try to promote CRT in public which I won't repeat here. Wait for the interview coming up this Wednesday.

    Listen to my thoughts on all of this and let me know what you think on social media. Search out Terrance Ó Domhnaill@todomhnaill on Instagram or on my website at www.crann-na-beatha.com.

    My two friends and I get together and have a roundtable discussion about the major current events in the news feeds from last week.

    Things like the cluster bomb that, supposedly, was accidently knocked off course and killed several people, including five children on a beach in Sevastopol, Crimea. The Julian Assange drama and what that may mean for journalists around the world. The big one, the disastrous U.S. presidential debate and what that could mean for the citizens of the U.S., plus several other topics.

    I am starting to make more and more videos and podcast audio files regarding the failing government of the United States. I have been writing about it and posting videos for a few months now and I will be sharing them here with anyone who cares to listen around the world. The U.S. is in big trouble as everyone but the Americans will tell you if asked. As you the audience, what little there is is here, can see in your news in your country, the U.S. is fading fast and I am one of many, many people who are bringing this to light., Listen in and make up your own minds.

    In this episode, I also continue to bring you Michael Campi's dystopian future of the United States story. Today, I read chapter 3 for everyone. Warning, there is graphic language so I will restrict this to adults only.
