The Dark Truth about US Copper Mining: 5CAST w/ Andrew Callaghan (#8) ft...

-


Andrew Callaghan’s latest 5CAST episode dives headfirst into the gritty underbelly of U.S. copper mining, and let’s just say—it’s not the shiny, eco-friendly story you might expect. Joined by Indigenous activist Naelyn Pike, the conversation unpacks how copper, a key player in the green energy boom, is being extracted at the expense of sacred lands and marginalized communities. It’s a wild ride through corporate greenwashing, government loopholes, and the kind of environmental damage that makes you want to double-check where your phone’s wiring came from.

What really hits hard is how Naelyn breaks down the generational trauma tied to mining on Apache land. This isn’t just about pollution or politics—it’s about identity, sovereignty, and survival. Andrew, in his signature laid-back but razor-sharp style, lets the story breathe while still poking at the hypocrisy of companies claiming sustainability while bulldozing ancestral sites. There’s a moment where you realize: this isn’t just a mining issue, it’s a human rights issue dressed up in a hard hat and a PR campaign.

By the end, you’re left with a mix of outrage and clarity. The episode doesn’t just expose the dark truth—it dares you to care. Whether you’re an environmentalist, a tech junkie, or just someone who likes their podcasts with a side of uncomfortable truth, this one’s worth the full listen. And hey, maybe next time you hear “clean energy,” you’ll ask: clean for who?

Leaked videos and recordings have revealed that the **Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF)** is allegedly planning to eliminate public schools in America and replace them with religious schools¹. The group has won fifteen Supreme Court cases and is known for its conservative Christian beliefs¹.  To achieve their goal, the ADF is reportedly using "model legislation" and lawsuits filed across the country⁴.
