- 33 minutes 55 secondsThe Rise of El Mencho: Mexico's Most Dangerous Cartel Leader
Today we uncover the story of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, better known as "El Mencho," the head of the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). From his humble beginnings as a humble avocado farmer and police officer in the Mexican state of Jalisco to his current status as Mexico's most wanted and arguably most powerful narco, El Mencho's rise is a masterclass in violence, strategy, and ambition. We trace his path through the Milenio Cartel, his alliance with the Sinaloa Cartel, and the brutal betrayal that led him to form the CJNG. Discover the ruthless tactics that propelled his organization to the top, including public displays of extreme violence, sophisticated military-grade weaponry, and a relentless campaign to eliminate rivals and authorities alike.

If You want your own Praesidus Iwo Jima Watch then check out my sponsor here Welcome to Iwo Jima, the Marines' Hell on Earth. In February 1945, 70,000 U.S. Marines stormed the black volcanic sands of a tiny, seemingly insignificant island in the Pacific. What they faced was a fortress, an 8-square-mile island honeycombed with 11 miles of underground bunkers, tunnels, and firing positions defended by over 21,000 of Japan's most fanatical Imperial troops. The battle was supposed to take a few days. It lasted for 36 of the most brutal days in American military history. This video breaks down the strategic nightmare, the horrific fighting conditions, and the incredible acts of valor that defined the struggle for Iwo Jima. We explore why this island was so critical, the unbreakable Japanese defense, and the iconic story behind the famous flag-raising on Mount Suribachi. Join us as we delve into one of the most pivotal and costly battles of World War II.

10 February 2026, 12:00 am - 59 minutes 34 secondsWhy Thailand Joined Japan in WW2
During World War II, Thailand found itself in a precarious position as global conflict engulfed Southeast Asia. Between 1941 and 1944, Thailand navigated a delicate path between cooperation with Imperial Japan and maintaining ties with the Allies.
As Japan launched its invasion of British Malaya and Singapore, Thailand’s strategic geography made it a crucial player in the region.
Rather than fully aligning with one side, the Thai government under Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram adopted a policy that, in practice, involved playing both sides, a gamble that reflected both opportunism and survival instinct.

The First Barons' War erupted in the early 13th century, primarily due to King John's unpopular reign, characterized by heavy taxation, military failures, and disputes with the nobility. The conflict was sparked by John's refusal to adhere to the terms of the Magna Carta, which he had sealed in June 1215 in response to baronial pressure. This document aimed to limit the king's powers and protect the rights of the barons and the church.
