EP231 | Colombia Hitwoman, Tucker and Huckabee, Canadian Visas for ISIS Soldiers

EP231 | Colombia Hitwoman, Tucker and Huckabee, Canadian Visas for ISIS SoldiersToday’s Coffee with BJ kicks off with the new Canadian land acknowledgement, a quick Banff travel pitch, and a reminder: don’t let the noise consume you. We hit the culture war headlines, the weird incentives that drive captured media, and why repetition engineering makes people care about the same five stories on loop.We also talk about T-Mobile’s instant translation feature and what it could mean for diplomacy, persuasion, and friction between cultures when people finally hear each other in their native tongue. Then we pivot to Canada’s economic decline, the claim that Canada is now poorer than Alabama, Ontario debt versus California, and whether politicians should face personal liability for gross negligence that causes measurable economic damage.From there: Colombia as a reality check, cartel violence, black widow scams, travel safety, and how naïveté in safe countries creates blind spots that bad actors exploit. We close on propaganda aesthetics, social media network effects, pacing and leading, and the importance of staying grounded while the global culture war tries to hijack your attention.Topics include:Canada politicsAlberta independenceBanff travelMuslim BrotherhoodRestore Britain partyTommy Robinson interviewTim PoolT-Mobile instant translationStarlink iPhoneCanada vs Alabama economyOntario debt vs CaliforniaHuntsville Alabama NASAColombia cartelsBlack widow scamsScopolamineCanadian military visa programImmigration vettingTucker Carlson Huckabee interviewMedia manipulation psychologyPolitical persuasion tacticsChapters 00:00 Intro, Edmonton and Banff06:10 The new land acknowledgement + “sip” opener12:40 Culture war noise vs staying mentally steady20:05 T-Mobile instant translation and persuasion dynamics30:10 Canada poorer than Alabama? debt, trade, and accountability41:45 Alabama stereotypes vs Huntsville reality check52:30 Colombia: cartel violence, La Muñeca, and travel rules1:05:20 Propaganda aesthetics, “Old Texas Paul,” and pacing & leadingOrder Now!Honking For Freedom - The Trucker Convoy That Gave Us Hopehttp://www.HonkingForFreedom.comSubstack | Twitter | Locals | Instagramwww.BenjaminjDichter.com
