US Forest Service employees zip-tied, held at gunpoint in California https://t.co/1ZkISzbfRg via @SFGate Just shy of 50 years ago my USFS partner and I were assaulted by members of the Posse Comitatus near Elk City, Idaho. Time will tell if these individuals escape punishment as did those who assaulted my partner and I.

🌎 New series: "Crossroads of the World" — the complete history of Panama, in 18 parts.
For five centuries, the most powerful nations on Earth fought over a fifty-mile strip of jungle — because whoever controlled it controlled the passage between two oceans. This is the whole story, from the indigenous nations who first mapped the crossing to the 2026 tug-of-war over the canal's ports.
Across 18 episodes we trace Spanish silver and pirate raids, the Gold Rush railroad and the French catastrophe, the American canal and the long fight over the Canal Zone, Martyrs' Day, Torrijos and Noriega, the 1989 invasion, the 1999 handover, the mega-expansion — and Panama today. It's sourced and fact-checked, it doesn't flinch from the human cost, and it's told with a few first-hand threads from someone who lived in the Canal Zone and stood on Ancon Hill in 1964.

Just published the next podcast on my channel https://t.co/QUqeVCWcNL

Mice, Medicine and Che's Last Stand
https://t.co/11e8Bd9W0n

This podcast describes the efforts of American scientists and soldiers to identify and eradicate Machupo virus, a deadly hemorrhagic fever that plagued the Bolivian Beni lowlands in the early 1960s. The narrative details how a team from the Middle American Research Unit (MARU) isolated the virus, identified a specific rodent as its carrier, and eventually halted the epidemic through ecological interventions such as rodent trapping and airlifting cats. The collection blends peer-reviewed medical records with primary family accounts from the son of Dr. Ronald B. Mackenzie, providing intimate details of the team’s personal risks and infections. A central theme explored is whether this humanitarian goodwill helped "immunize" the local peasantry against Che Guevara's revolutionary movement, which failed in the same region years later. Ultimately, the text serves as a chronological record of cold-war era medical diplomacy and its potential influence on broader political stability in South America.

There are a large number of US citizens who do not have a government issued ID. It happened to my own grandmother born in Iowa. She never got a drivers license, She was born at home and never had a birth certificate. The church which had her baptismal certificate burned down. You will disenfranchise thousands of people like this to prevent a problem which all studies have shown have no impact on elections.

Note this: Coal prices have surged significantly since the start of the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran on February 28, 2026. Benchmark coal prices reached their highest levels in over a year as global energy markets reacted to the disruption of natural gas and oil supplies in the Middle East. Wikipedia +3

Impact on Benchmark Coal Prices Newcastle Coal (Asian Benchmark): Prices jumped roughly 20% following the start of the war, rising from $118 to approximately $138–$150 per ton by early March 2026. Rotterdam Coal (European Benchmark): Prices surged 13% to reach $119.50 per ton shortly after military strikes began, hitting a 52-week high. Monthly Growth: In the month since the conflict started, coal prices have risen by over 20% overall. Trading Economics +4

Key Drivers of the Price Increase Substitution for Natural Gas: As the conflict halted Qatar’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, global LNG prices skyrocketed. Fuel Switching: Power utilities, particularly in Asia, shifted from expensive or unavailable natural gas to thermal coal, driving up demand and prices for coal. Logistics Disruptions: Fears of a broader energy crisis and the closure of strategic waterways pushed countries to rely on coal's on-site storage and reliability compared to disrupted oil and gas routes. Military Demand: Under President Trump, the U.S. military received directives to purchase coal-fired electricity to support the domestic industry during the energy volatility. The Coal Hub +4

Current Market Status (as of March 25, 2026) Negotiations for a ceasefire are currently underway, with the U.S. presenting a 15-point plan to Iran. Analysts from Bitget and Barron's suggest that if the Strait of Hormuz reopens and gas production resumes, coal prices may experience a rapid decline toward pre-war levels of approximately $115–$120 per ton.
