I found a few news stories this week but as always, there’s just too much chaos going on around the world for me to delve into the front page news. There are plenty of other, more accomplished journalists, who’re taking care of that for us already.
What I did find, are a couple of articles about climate change. To which the current U.S. administration has order the removal of this terminology from its public vocabulary, along with the acronym DEI. I also have some news stories about the current European crisis regarding the U.S. pulling back from Europe secure. I do have a couple of other stories to talk about as well, that are not part of the mainstream you should know about, such as the real possibility of the U.S. committing piracy on the high seas, or it seems so anyway. I'll let you be the judge.
I am also going to talk about just how bad the infrastructure is in the United States in bits and pieces over the next couple of weeks. This week, I start with cybersecurity or lack thereof.
Once I've finished talking about the stories I found for this week, I would ask everyone to stick around through my commercial break because I have a treat for any listeners today. One of my favorite storytellers has written a second installment to a short story I read to people last November in my old podcast, Crann na beatha Stories and Poetry. It is a dystopian future story about climate change. I will be adding in some sound effects as well. I did this with the first installment so it wouldn't feel right if I didn't do the same with this chapter.

Welcome to the Village Oak Tree again this week.
This week, I bring you another conversation with my friend Mitch from central Florida.
He had recently published an article on Medium.com about eugenics and how a certain group of Americans have been all about this science in order to create a master race right here in the good ‘ole USA.
We also talk long and hard about the state of affairs in the U.S., the world and right in our own backyards. It is a lengthy conversation but well worth your time. if you wish to reach out and add your two cents worth, you can find us on Substack at https://open.substack.com/pub/todomhnaill/p/the-village-oak-tree-014?r=1rgd7h&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Welcome to The Village Oak Tree
I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.
Here we are, entering the Ides of March, as the old saying goes. The sun has been shining a wee bit where I am, along with rising temperatures. And I'm a few days behind on my normal schedule this week.
I'm still dealing with home repairs caused by climate change this winter and I'm not done yet. But the work I needed to do to date did cause an interruption in my normal schedule. With everything that's going on in my household, and the world at large, I shouldn't be too awfully worried about this minor hiccup. Given the way things are moving so fast, this may not be the last schedule disruption I will incur this year.
I managed to find a handful of news stories from across the spectrum, in between my work schedule, to point out how all of this is going to affect average citizens around the world.
Once I've finished talking about the stories I found for this week, I would ask everyone to stick around through my commercial break so I can read to you another chapter of The Priest, from Michael Campi.
So, come sit you down somewhere in a patch of spring sunshine, or a warm cozy spot if you live in the more northern climates, and let me regale you with what I have found.

So, come sit you down next to someplace warm and listen to me tell you a little of what the media isn't telling you.

With the weather outside frightful all across north America today, and with all of the chaos the new U.S. government is creating all across the world and domestically, mainly Donald Trump and his trusty sidekick, Elon Musk, it's a wonder more people aren't speaking out.
But they’re starting to. More and more people across the world are starting to speak out against all of this chaos and that’s a good thing. Even in Ireland, were the majority of the industries are American owned. I plan to be one of those speaking out here.
My focus will be on how all of this will affect the average person everywhere in the world. I will pick out some stories to bring to your attention every week, to try and point a spotlight on all of this madness. And that is going to be the thread going forward this year. The state of average people's lives as we try to duck what's coming.
