Ghana is planning on trade oil in gold. It’d be interesting to see you tackle this. There’s been some condescending reactions from the Western media (see Financial Times)

[I apologize if my wording comes off oddly. My intention was observation and feedback based upon vulnerabilities I see potentially attacked, which could weaken the impact of a prospective report to a critical audience — my roommate is a journalist who holds to strong integrity ethics, so I learn things. 😅 Hopefully, the positive/supportive intent comes across instead of an attack by some rando being snarky. 🤦🏽♂️] Provided the translation is verified in terms of meaning (ideally, having a trustworthy secondary translator who can verify the translation would be ideal as a "second source", since no doubt someone may try to claim that a translation is wrong to discredit the interview). If cost wasn't an issue, having someone affiliated with the UN's translator pool or someone with both recognized skill as a translator from Spanish to English, and who also has a history of integrity would be be ideal in my mind. Whenever I watch, listen to, or read interviews (or other works) in a language that I am not fluent, ultimately, I am at the mercy of the person or persons performing this role. Given how important reporting about Central and South America is, particularly, with US Imperialism to a US audience, only increases the need for verification. Normally, I'd use MTL for easy stuff, but when one is doing something of such global importance—particularly, when so many people in positions of power wish to see any accurate reporting in the matter annihilated—eliminating as many points of critique possible would seem to me ideal. In any event, thanks for what you're doing & I pray for your safety (as doing what you're doing is by its very nature _high risk

Geopolitical Economy Report
I interviewed a journalist in Argentina to discuss the judicial coup there. It is difficult to find guests with good politics who speak English, so the video is in Spanish with English subtitles.
I am also working on editing an interview with an activist in Peru about the coup there.
If you want to listen to my analysis in English, I have a podcast here discussing the coups in both Peru and Argentina: soundcloud.com/multipolarista/coup-peru-argentina-…
