Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

Thank you for joining me again this week.

As tempting as it may be, I’m not going to talk very much about the new war between the U.S., Israel and Iran this week, except as it affects the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

It’s time I pivot back to Palestine this week, so I want to offer up some new stories from several media sources. The trouble is, there are always so many new stories in the media, and op-ed articles posted in Substack and Medium.com about the genocide in Palestine, it’s hard to choose the right ones talk about.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit as I sort through the lot and try to highlight the stories I eventually chose to present to you.

It came to my attention last week, that ranting about all of the government corruption taking place every week in the United States is probably going on deaf ears these days. So, I’ve decided to chase after things that are more important to regular people like you and me. Such as climate change that’s wreaking hell on people around the world. Especially this winter.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let’s talk about the extreme weather happening everywhere around the planet for a bit and a couple of other things I discovered in the overseas media.

Here we go again. More chaos across the world caused by Trump’s United States.

This week, I found some more news stories about nearly everything you can imagine and maybe some you haven’t imagined.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit while I make an effort to unpack all of this to show how this will affect those of us struggling to get by every week.

I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

Thank you for joining me again this week.

This week, I have a wide range of news stories from Gaza, Cuba, Africa, Australia, Canada and the U.S. The central point being the U.S.

All of these stories have one common thread, the United States. Which, as usual, is causing chaos all over the planet, by way of its senile president.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit while I make an attempt to put this all in perspective for everyone.

In this first week of imolc, the Gaelic celebration of the return of Spring, I want to offer a comparison of sorts, between the U.S. in 2026 and Germany starting from the 1920’s to when Hitler decided to start invading other countries.

In comparing the U.S. under Trump 2.0 now, to what the Nazis took over a decade to accomplish, Trump is racing to do it all within his current term. I’m not the only one to talk about this over the last year since Trump and his crew started their rampage but the latest events in the news made me want to lay this out. They’re not mirror images exactly, but the parallels are pretty hard to ignore.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me air my thoughts about all of this for you. If I say the things we’re thinking out loud, maybe more of us will be emboldened to speak out more.

What a week. Between the massive cold and snow/ice storm and the execution style murder last Saturday by ICE in Minneapolis, I picked out some news stories and independent op eds from around the world this week that I’m going to try and help make some sense out of. At this point, I’ve lost all respect for the U.S. government now and the sooner Trump is gone, the sooner the world can start breathing normally again.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me dispel some of the myth about the great U.S. military, and other news that few are talking about.

This week, I offer up a small bit of American history and a call to action, in order to stop all of the madness. I will try not to sound like a high school history teacher but I think this short lesson is important for people to understand a little bit about how the Americans have arrived at this point in their history

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me tell you some stories and ask you to make yourselves a bit uncomfortable with a call to protest against the tyranny that’s threatening our very lives in the U.S.

In the last week, the United States has started to become that pariah state I mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

Between publicly coming out and lying about a murdered young woman being a domestic terrorist, declaring the ICE agent who shot her immune from prosecution, before the evidence was presented one way or the other, piracy on the high seas, and more aggressive statements to the world about taking over the governments of Greenland, Cuba and Colombia, Trump is making life in the U.S. a lot harder for the rest of us.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let’s talk about what this is starting to look like.

With all of the drama from Trump’s military operation last weekend going on, let’s talk a little bit about the repercussions that few are talking about in the main stream media.

I also want to offer up a brief look into society in China these days that their media isn’t telling the world about.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let’s talk about how all of this is going to affect those of us in the U.S. very soon.

Welcome to the last podcast for 2025

I want to talk about something that’s barely registering in the news these days. That’s this current Super Flu, H3N2, that’s now widespread across the country earlier than normal. The nearly defunct CDC is reporting 4.6 million Super Flu cases, 49000 hospitalizations and 1900 deaths, so far, since September. And this is just the stats from the U.S.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let’s talk about how this is probably affecting someone you know.
