Michael Yon - Secrets of the Darién Gap | SRS

Michael Yon is a Former Green Beret, Author, Photographer, and War Correspondent. After serving in the U.S. Army Special Forces, Yon retired his rifle in favor of a camera. He began his journalism career in December of 2004 in Iraq, covering some of the World's most complex conflicts and war zones. His writing and photography lead him to over 100 countries during his 20 year career. Most recently, he's been in South America covering an unknown path for illegal immigration into the United States: The Darién Gap.
The Darién Gap is a region that connects the Southernmost part of Panama and Northern Colombia. This area has become the preferred way of travel for hundreds of thousands of migrants since the late 2000's. The Darién Gap is largely unregulated and only maintained by a faltering assortment of NGOs and smugglers. In this episode, Yon breaks down how the region functions in illegal immigration and the growing threat it poses to U.S Sovereignty.

I was in the Army for 10 years and prior to getting out I went on a “deployment” to Ethiopia. It was seen as a training mission. We were in the vast desert, I’m talking monkeys, donkeys, and giraffes all over the place. We slept in one man tents in the middle of nowhere during this training. The Ethiopian people were great and one day they asked us to take a walk with them they wanted to show us something. We marched through the open desert and got to the top of a mountain and they kept pointing into the distance. I got my binoculars out and what do I see? A HUGE industrial plant out there in the middle of nowhere. We asked the interpreter what that was and he told us the Chinese built it and they were also in the process of building a railroad a few miles away. It was such a crazy sight to see. With the knowledge from this episode and from what I’ve seen with my own eyes it’s almost clear that the Chinese are playing the long game, as well as setting conditions for eventual world domination. I know that can sound insane but what else could it possibly be??

[@boulderingbadger6179]

It is called national security and national interests. All nations do it or should attempt to do so. America, France, England and Spain all got to conquer the world and colonize but when a country like Germany or Russia wants to do anything they are the worst people in history. It is political viewpoints. Japanese for example also. We only stopped recently because we are being controlled by a international global community who wants us weak or neutralized so others can catch up or surpass us. The U.N. and Department of Homeland are down there setting these camps up on purpose. It is all an agenda and it has been in motion atleast 50 years full steam.

Some places are trying to import. China seems to be trying to export their people to control all of the other countries too...

While listening I realized what a masterful interviewer Shawn Ryan is. He didn't interrupt Michael Yon's mind-blowing story, other than to ask him to expand on a topic. This shows true humility, another trait of a great host.

That’s why he is the best podcaster. He doesn’t try to interject himself into the story. Most other clowns aren’t listening to what’s being said, they’re thinking of what to say next, most of the time over speaking a guest that is smarter than them. SRS is the best hands down.

I think it’s evident through Yon’s pressured speech patterns that he’s accumulated a ton of combat exposure. What lends credence to his world view is his diligent effort to track down the facts behind his intuitions and views; he has consistently been on the mark for over two decades. He covered my old unit’s deployment in Mosul in 05’ and since then his dispatches have offered me an incredibly foretelling countenance to the pervasive “corporate narrative”. He should be listened to and taken seriously. Thanks for having him on the show Shawn 🤙

All I can say is WOW! I know that there is chaos in the world but Michael tied it all together and brought it right to my front door. THIS is why they are desperately trying to stop/end Donald Trump I knew a little but Again Michael Yon painted the picture for me. This interview was a serious gut punch for me, I am seriously unprepared for what is happening outside my bubble and by the time it hits me it will be too late. Please do several more episodes with Michael Yon, all of your shows are great but this one had a huge impact. Our country needs a massive change but I fear it wont survive that change.

I've been looking forward (dreadfully) to this interview for a loooong time. Thanks to Shawn and Michael for making it happen! I'm now 58 and this is the most harrowing time of my life. We are in an almost unimaginable jam. I pray everyone taking the time to watch this (and read THIS), recognized the threat long ago because we need all the prepared, right-minded and patriotic citizens we can muster to even have a hope (prayer?) of keeping anything remotely like our constitutional republic once was.

Over 14 years ago I got into heated debates with family, friends and co-workers because i said that the border needed to be locked down. I was called a racist and heartless. I'm a lifelong TEXAN I'm a veteran but i came back to Texas. I've been watching a transformation of the United States due to it's physically weak border. This mess didn't happen overnight under the current administration. This has been developing for decades i predicted that people from around the world would eventually be entering our porous border. I said we would be seeing diseases that we had gotten rid of decades ago and that we would see new diseases, that we would see violence from these illegals. Our politicians have never had the will or spine to do anything about the border or illegal immigration problem because the democrats see lifetime voters and the republicans see cheap labor. Donald J Trump is the only who attempted to strengthen the border with an actual physical barrier. Once you open pandoras box how can you possibly get the contents back inside Edit Surely I'm not the only one who expected chaos from the out of control Southern border.

[@jcrew4589]

You had me until you said trump was the only one who attempted to strengthen the border. Unfortunately all the politicians, billionaires, big corporations know we need immigrants for our labor pool. I agree more could be done, and it's out of hand. I also have come to terms that without them I don't think the country would make it. Al lot of really hard workers also come across, work for less, work harder then most, don't have sick days or vacation don't bitc and wine, just work...

Hey Shawn I love your show. Just wanted to add that there has been a HUGE influx of Chinese and indian immigrants in Canada , especially in Vancouver and Toronto. I always wondered what was happening but this episode has brought alot of light to my eyes. Thank you.

[@Underbiteoutdoors]

In the past 25 years there has been a huge influx and especially the last 5. Makes me not want to raise children here. The sense of community is completely diminished

[@darciridenhour9443]

2017-18(?) the Chinese military set up camp in BC. Camp was Prince Rupert and an island off VanCouver Island. Canada said it was just “trainings 🙄.” A guy I was following online said he was going to go check it out. He drove to Prince Rupert first and talked to the locals and took pics. Chinese were set up alright… to stay. Next stop off VanCouver Island… same thing. He reported what he personally witnessed and then he just disappeared. I lived (grew up) 45 min from the BC border in WA and I can tell you the influx of Chinese coming in significantly increased starting 10+ years ago. They were buying up land everywhere. This same guy (sorry can’t remember his name) said the Chinese army wasn’t just in BC but spread out across Canada. Just waiting for the green light.

[@Underbiteoutdoors]

I've heard about this and seen some of those videos. Canada is full of bleeding hearts and that's what country's that are trying to take over LOVE. The majority of people here don't care to learn about these things because it would make them seem "racist"... F THAT!

Shawn this was a great & extremely necessary episode, with regards to discussing the border & the truth of how this Treasonous, Trader, Anti-American Administration is on purpose, systematically stripping away America's & American's abilities to protect our Border, Country, States, Cities, Towns, Neighborhoods, Homes & Ourselves, as well as our Constitution & American way of life & our Freedoms. I'm a Huge fan of the SRShow and I've watched just about every episode and some more than once in truth. Sometimes more than twice in reality, truth be told. There's a U.S. Army Story I've recently come across that would be a great interview for you. They call this man the Dealiest Soldier in Modern U.S. History He fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom. His name U.S. Army Sgt 1st Class Dillard Johnson. In Iraq, he joined Charlie Troop, 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry. During his 1st tour he was Commander of, & was Piloting the M2A3 Bradley Tank, knicknamed, "Carnivore" Taking out a truckload of Iraqis with six high-explosive rounds in March 2003 at the battle of As Samawah, gave him his first KIAs. He says he counted the dead by tallying the found rifles & human heads. In that 1st tour he had a total 2,625 confirmed kills His 2nd tour he had 121 kills as a sharp shooter. In that second tour, in 2005, he went out as a sniper, logging those 121 kills. His furthest kill was at 821 yards & was with an M4 or M14 Platform. Those were his 2 used Platforms. His total confirmed kills between both tours was totaled up to 2,746 confirmed kills. It's been said that there's previous wars where U.S Servicemen have had higher totals but they were before we had Officially Booked Confirmed Kills. So he is technically the U.S. Serviceman with the highest Confirmed Kills in all of "Officially Recorded" U.S. Military History. I also read that he has Cancer so his time is potentially growing short. He wrote a book about his time at war called "Carnivore" I can only imagine, that if you could get him on the show it would be an amazing and necessary episode. It would be documenting American Military History & that's an important & necessary task. Thanks Again for all that you do for us Americans & fans of the show. Thank You For Your Service & God Bless. 🙏
