Gaia Vince, author of Nomad Century: How Climate Migration Will Reshape Our World, presents a stark look at the inevitable mass migration caused by a changing climate, which she argues will force billions to move from the tropics to the habitable north this century. She identifies the "four horsemen of the Anthropocene"—fire, heat, flood, and drought—as the primary drivers of this upheaval. Using the example of a Peruvian farmer forced into a Lima slum, Vince illustrates how climate migration is already underway and often results in precarious existences due to a lack of legal pathways. The book advocates for a radical rethinking of borders and global citizenship, suggesting that the global north needs millions of workers to avoid a demographic crisis and support aging populations. Vince proposes a new UN body to manage migration, using quota systems to match migrants with labor needs in expanded northern cities. She envisions a future where biotechnology, vertical farming, and lab-grown meat provide sustainable nutrition for a global population of ten billion. Vince also explores technological solutions for planetary restoration, including geoengineering methods like ocean fertilization with iron and enhanced weathering of rocks to sequester carbon. While acknowledging the controversy of such projects, she argues that decoupling economic growth from environmental destruction is essential for survival. Ultimately, the book is a call for global inclusivity and a planned strategy to make the unavoidable flux of people work to the advantage of all. (3)1783 Australia

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy August!! We're kicking off the new month with a fun exercise: months as days of the week. Alex & Harrison think July is Saturday (aka everyone is in Europe), while Jules says it's obviously Wednesday (linear brain vs. vibes brain we guess lol). Then some real life: the fever made its way from Rocky to Tate, which meant all four of us in one bed by 6 AM and a very high-stakes game of "nobody make a sound." Plus the grandparent gift idea we're recommending for everyone: give the grandkids their parent's old stuff packaged as a gift (Kathi did Beanie Babies on this trip!) Which led us to: is the Princess Diana Beanie Baby actually worth $10K?! (We checked - apparently no, but we LOVE the nostalgia).  Then the main topic of the week: invisible postpartum. Alex shares about how when you're out in the world WITHOUT your baby, nobody has any idea what your body and brain are still going through. If you've ever felt this, this one's for you

This week we're talking about the latest on neighbourhood health, and what Prime Minister Andy Burnham's push for social care reform means for the NHS. As ministers launch a major review of adult social care, we ask whether the shift could boost the neighbourhood health agenda, or set it back. Will it reshape NHS and council funding, and could it deliver the NHS savings Mr Burnham says must be considered before any tax rises?We also talk more about neighbourhood health contracts and their slow progress since they were announced in last year's 10 year plan for health, and why some in primary care are calling for an even longer pause.

Transcript of the interview with Brooks Elms Jo: Brooks Elms is a WGA screenwriter with over 45 scripts, over a dozen sales, and he has directed two indie features. He is the creator of the Answer the Call system and has trained over 1,000 writers. So welcome to the show, Brooks. Brooks: Thank you. It's awesome to be here. Jo: Fantastic. So first up— Tell us a bit more about you and how you got into screenwriting. Brooks: I started filmmaking first. A buddy came up to me in high school and said, “Hey, we're making a karate movie, do you want to help us?” I was like, “Oh my God, yes, that sounds amazing.” So next thing I know, I had this karate outfit on, and we were just making this completely ridiculous and totally fun movie, and it was amazing. It was so fun. Then it went to a whole other level when we shared it with a friend, this guy Jay Sharon, and he watched the movie and he laughed so hard he literally fell out of his chair. I was like, “Oh my God,” the fun I had making it could actually transfer to somebody else. I was hooked. So from there I went to NYU film school, and then made a few independent feature films which were good but not great in terms of how they were received. They were great for me in terms of enjoyment, but I knew I needed to iterate faster at that point. So then I was like, “Well, it's expensive and it takes a long time to make a movie,” at least back then. So I pivoted to screenwriting, and pumped out two, three scripts a year, got signed at UTA, got writing assignments, and basically launched a screenwriting career. Then I still tried to get some stuff going, but it's hard when movies are so expensive. It's not hard, it's just that it takes a lot of precision in the marketing, and a lot of conversations to find the right matches to finance something, and you're either interested in doing that or you're not. I just was like, “Well, I'll just mostly write screenplays.” Then I started teaching at UCLA Extension and then coaching after that, along with writing. Then all the way up to the future. What's great about moving forward is that with AI, shot-making is becoming very close to cinematic quality. You can actually match cinematic quality in moments in some genres, but probably by next year. Right now you could actually do a really good horror movie all AI for 10, 20,000 bucks, depending on how much you're doing yourself or getting other people to do. So the economics are going to absolutely explode. So I'm sitting on dozens of scripts that didn't get through the Hollywood packaging bottleneck because they're too expensive, and I now have this giant slate that's ready to go, and I'm just absolutely thrilled. It's been a lifelong dream for me. Jo: Oh, so much to come back on there. Where to start? I do want to talk about what you just said there, sitting on dozens of scripts and now seeing the opportunity. I actually wrote down in my journal about a year ago, I see what's coming with AI, and I think that the best thing I can do is create as much original IP as possible, so that I can make the most of the opportunity ahead. So let's just get into the AI, because a lot of people feel it's a super bad thing. Talk about the opportunities and the attitude that you've got [around AI], and that you've seen others have around this, for what is ahead in a positive way. Brooks: It's fascinating to see how people respond to AI. I wonder, when the printing press rolled around, if there was some sort of backlash. Books must be handwritten. They can't be mass-produced. Here's one of my theories. At a deep psychological level, it's so profoundly powerful that I think the default setting is, “Oh, crap.” When I was a kid, some things were hard, and that power imbalance, when something big, new and powerful comes along: I'm going to get screwed, and so this is somehow a bad thing. I think that's the base psychological thing going on with most of the noise. Obviously there are some legit problems, in terms of copyright infringement from learning models, or from some of the environmental situation. So I'm not saying it's all rainbows and butterflies, but I think 90% of the noise around it comes from a fear of change. Here's the other one—a fear of, “Oh, yikes, I'm going to get taken advantage of somehow by either robots, or the corporations are going to use the robots against me,” or something like that. I have real empathy for me when I feel that way a little bit, but I don't feel it much, and for other people that do feel it. The other thing is, you know what it is? I think they fear their own empowerment even more. I had a therapist who was really good. He said, people aren't so much afraid of failing as they are afraid of succeeding. Because if we fail, we're stuck in act one and we don't go anywhere. The fear is answering the call and going to act two, when everything effing changes in the new world. So I think people are afraid of how goddamn powerful they're going to be when they can have a team of AI agents helping them do everything they want in business or life or whatever. I think it's the same thing with the internet. People are like, “Oh, I don't like social media, blah, blah, blah.” And I get it. There's a lot of noise and a lot of crap. Yet we have access to billions of people, and the algorithms in social media right now I think are level three out of 10. They're just going to get better and better. Even as it is now, if I do a post about something and it gets ignored, that's on me. The algorithms are trying to match me to my people. So if I'm not unique enough and authentic enough and aware enough of how virality works, that's on me, and it's a learnable skill that I can embrace and then change and then get better at. So I think people then resist that change. They resist the empowerment of learning the art of virality, or learning the art of some sort of social media stuff or whatever. The last thing I'll say about this rant is, I don't want to act like I'm the guru on the hill that has all the answers. I refuse calls all the time. I'm scared about all sorts of things. I'm certainly not perfect. I feel frustrated when I'm trying to put my big ideas into action and I can't get this technology thing to work or that one, and I throw tantrums. I'm trying to come at it from a real human perspective, but by and large, I've got stars in my eyes. I'm like, “This is amazing. This is going to be so powerful.” For so many people, you just have to be ready to embrace it and just go along for the ride, because there's going to be some big-ass changes. There already are, and that's going to accelerate. Jo: You mentioned there learning the art of whatever it is. One of the things is, I've spent 20 years, and so have you, learning our craft and our art, and now it can be done very easily. I'm generating video, as you mentioned, which is a craft I haven't spent 20 years on, but now I can generate. So things have definitely changed in that way. Just coming to the screenwriting side. Probably about a decade ago now, I did my first screenwriting course. I've written screenplays. Then I looked at the game you have to play and, like you said, the conversations you have to have, the events you have to go and network at, all the things that you have to do to put a screenplay in front of the right person at the right time. I was like, “I cannot do that. It's just not going to happen. I can't do that along with everything else.” So I put it aside, but now I feel maybe it's time to bring it back because things are changing. So can you maybe talk about, if someone has a screenplay now that they've written, or some IP like a book that they have now— What would you recommend people do in terms of wanting to get that [IP] in front of somebody, or doing something with it themselves? Brooks: It's such a good question. By the way, not even a screenplay—you could do the same things with a novel. Let me try to be succinct here, which is a good challenge for me. A simple way to look at it is, you're giving samples. Let's say it's a lemonade stand, and you give out a little shot of your… maybe you have cayenne pepper lemonade, some sort of fun lemonade. If you give out a sample and people are into it, they're going to come back and they're going to tell friends. If you give a sample of the lemonade and they're not into it, then you go back to the kitchen and you mix up a different flavour. So that's some basic business, but the internet allows us to do that at scale. So what I like to encourage people to do when I coach them is come up with the minimum viable material. It can be a 10-second clip. There's a writer in my community who made a really beautiful 16-second movie. It's one shot. I love it so much. It's two wine glasses. There's a lipstick smudge on one of the wine glasses. They're half full, and it's just that shot. It's sitting there, and all of a sudden you hear this thundering, thumping down these stairs, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Then you see out of the corner of the frame one person runs by, and then the other person behind her runs by and goes, “Wait.” That's it. That's the whole movie. It's 16 seconds. He did that with his phone. So there's so much going on. There's a couple of basic elements, but he just did it with his phone, and you can evoke enormous emotional impact on people through social media, whether it's just words. You guys have a big advantage as novelists because you're so good with words. Whether it's a little bit longer, like sudden fiction, that's a couple of pages or whatever. Even just copywriters are really in a good position for the future because they're super potent with two words or three words or 10 words. Then novelists are probably really advantageous because it doesn't cost anything to just put some words out on the internet. The point is, if you put something out, it's a signal, and you're talking about billions of people who could find that signal. If you do it and then you look at the response, and then you try again, you look at the response, we can do this iteration infinitely for free. So you can do it already. You've been able to do it for 10, 15, 20 years, just with words. But now you're going to basically be able to do that with movies or clips or trailers. So the thing that I'm leading in my community of writers is having people build trailers in advance, or clips. When a book or a movie is done, how the heck do we get people to see it? One way is a trailer or some sort of behind-the-scenes material. You can just do that stuff now before even writing the screenplay. I saw that you were doing this project, a trailer for this competition. And then you mentioned, “Oh, I've got to write the screenplay.” Not really. You have to develop the story enough to know what you're referring to, and then it's about studying the craft of either trailer construction, or whatever the clips are, or viral clips. They all have a structure, and then you just test it. If you enjoy that testing process, which I find absolutely thrilling, it feels like the filmmaking version of a stand-up comedian. If I did stand-up, I say a joke, they laugh or they don't laugh. It's really beautiful feedback from the universe. Nerve-wracking, right? But we can do that now as storytellers. We put a story out there in any format, and the audience responds. Just like you have to read any room, you have to learn how to read the engagement on social media. What do likes mean? What do shares mean? What do comments mean? How do you deal with trolls? All that is just part of the new art. Once you get good at it, holy smokes, that's the key to the kingdom. You can build audiences in advance, and for movies you could even have them finance your movie in advance, if you've built an email list of 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 people because you kept putting out all these viral clips around your story, novel, or screenplay. Then you go, “Okay, now 30,000 people are on my email list and I tell them about me and my perspective and my world. We're going to make this darn thing with AI for 20,000 bucks. You guys have got to pony up some money. Put in a dollar, five, 10, or you get the VIP $500 experience.” It's like crowdfunding, but much more sophisticated, because most crowdfunding was like begging friends and family to donate to your crazy dream. What I'm talking about is going to the audience directly, developing enough of the story, then going to the audience second, and then only when they validate the idea, to the extent that you're happy with. You could do a crazy idea that's going to have a small audience, and you don't have to have a blockbuster audience. You get to pick the audience size that you want, and then put the samples out there and see if you have a relevant audience size for this next project. Once the audience tells you, “Yes, we want this,” then you go make it. So you're ultimately reducing risk to almost zero. It takes time and you have to learn how to do this stuff, but it's thrilling to me because we just have the capacity to test the material and listen to the audience upfront. The last thing I'll say, and I've rambled a lot, I'm sorry. When I made a movie in 1994, a feature film right out of NYU, it took me three years to find out what the audience thought about that movie. I had to make the damn thing, and then I ran out of money, and that took me years to edit it, and I finally got it, blah, blah, blah. And again, I loved it. I loved every facet of it, and it was fine, but it was super inefficient. Today, I could take those same elements, create an AI trailer this weekend, put it in front of hundreds of thousands of people, and they could tell me right away, “This sucks,” or, “This is interesting,” or, “Holy smokes, this is amazing. I want this.” If it's not, “Holy smokes, this is amazing, I want it,” I can go ahead and re-edit the whole damn trailer, and just keep reiterating at almost no cost. Then once the demand is there, I can take that demand and that audience and go to Hollywood, and that's when they're going to want to work with me. Then it doesn't take a million conversations and finding the needle in the haystack, because Hollywood sees the numbers and they go, “Oh, you're the people we do want to do business with. You've proven demand. We want to do business with you.” Jo: Yes, it's so interesting. I can hear people listening and they're like, “Easier said than done, getting an email list of 40,000 people.” And in fact— It's exactly the same as building up a career as an independent author. This is as a filmmaker, as a visual person, and the industry is visual, so doing a visual trailer is the obvious thing. And as you say, the tools I use just to do this one, I use Midjourney, and I've used Seedance as the main video model. It does take a while, but it is pretty fast now, if you have a visual image of what you want in your head, which obviously you're a visual person as well. But is it… Brooks: Hold on. I want to push back on that a little bit, because I think it's really important. So yes, that's true, but underneath that, my friend, it's a relationship. It's the relationship, and the media is secondary. You have been prolific in connecting with your audience, and that's why I think a lot of people like you, because you share and they get to know you in that sort of cadence. I saw you in another podcast, you mentioned Seth Godin, who just said, “Hey, I want to be the type of person that has this relationship with my audience. I'm going to share some of my thoughts every day.” He happened to do it with words, with his background in marketing, but you could do the same thing with still images. You could do the same thing with a five-second movie clip once a week. It's the relationship you want with your fans. I'm not saying you snap your fingers and you have 50,000 people on your email list. What I'm saying is, what else are you doing? If we're artists and our impulse is to create and share, and if you do it in this way, if I can create and share and inspire trust in this relationship with a stranger because they like my genre thing and they like the way they felt when they experienced my media, words, images, movies, it doesn't matter. They just like the feeling, and they go, “Ooh, I want more of that feeling. How do I get more of that? Oh, this person has this email list or community.” If I can do it with one, then I can scale it out. So getting the first one, or the first 5 or 10 samples, that is a whole process. But then once you do that, scaling up is more of a mechanical thing. It's not even that hard, especially when you can do paid ads. So you can scale up very quickly if you have the sauce. If you don't have the sauce, it doesn't matter who you're related to, you've got to get the sauce right. Jo: Yes, and again, it's so parallel to the indie author community. I've just got to ask you, in the olden days, an author might write a screenplay, or a screenwriter write a screenplay, and then they would send it. They'd find an agent. They'd pitch an agent, and I guess then they'd hope that someone would turn that into a movie. So is that just dead now? Is it realistically that you need to get yourself out there, build the audience in the same way that it often is for authors? Brooks: So, no. I've got two screenplay deals going right now. So here's how it's going to work. Think about Broadway, or the theatre district in Britain. It's like West End or East End or whatever… Jo: The West End. Brooks: Sorry for my American ignorance. West End, okay. So every town on the planet has a stage, but there's only one Broadway, there's only one West End, right? And every town has its own festival, but there are a few significant tastemakers. There's Cannes, there's Sundance, there's Toronto. Hollywood is always going to be a tastemaker in our lifetime, for sure. What they don't have anymore, what they enjoyed for the first 100 years of the industry, is that they had a stranglehold on basically the equipment, the financing, and the audience, and that's all going away. Do you want to hear a fun story about the birth of cinema? Do you know why Hollywood started in Hollywood? Jo: No. Brooks: So Thomas Edison invented the camera, or the type of model camera that they were using in, I don't know, 1910 or something around there. They didn't want to pay his patent. They didn't want to pay the patent to make these movies, so they went all the way across the country, a bunch of outlaws, and they set up shop in California because he couldn't enforce his patent that they were basically stealing. And reason number two, LA enjoys amazing weather almost all year round. The weather here is either nice or really nice. You have mountains, you have beach, you have desert, you have all these different locales. So when it was really important to be on location, LA was the perfect place. Anyway, that is all going away. For many decades, more people could make movies. In the early '90s, Robert Rodriguez made a movie for 9,000 bucks. There was a book in the '80s that I bought that I loved, it was Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices. This guy, Rick Schmidt, I think his name was. There were the independent filmmakers really in the '60s and the '70s. So the cost has been going down and down and down, and now it's less than ever. Once social media came along, now you have access to the audience, so why do you even need Hollywood? That being said, there are tons of people. There are 400,000 people already working in the movie and the TV industry here. And they're voracious. We have a voracious demand. Humans need stories. We need big stories, long stories. We need stories, and Hollywood is so good at giving them stories. And so they have a need for these things, and they're still spending a lot of money on those budgets. So yes, there's still a demand for turning books and optioning them and turning them into movies. Books are great. Any sort of existing IP is great because there are marketing efficiencies there. People already know that stuff, know the vibe of it, and so it's easier to market than something that's totally creative and new. When you're spending that much money, you want those marketing efficiencies. They're really important. So the point being, the power is shifting away from Hollywood. Hollywood will still be a tastemaker, but you and me can reach anybody on the planet now. Almost. Billions of people. If it's making a movie, right now you could make a movie that most people wouldn't realise is an AI movie. If it was a horror film, I know a handful of people that could make a feature-length horror film right now with AI and 99% of the audience couldn't tell, if it was professionally written. Jo: I think the point here though is, I'm an author, the people listening are authors, and we don't want to make movies. We want to license our IP to people who want to make movies. Brooks: Yes. Great. Okay, good. So then you could, if you wanted, build an audience. Hollywood loves when something's already proven, so that's that IP thing, right? So if you just have a great book, then it's all about the sales. You guys have Dragons' Den, we have Shark Tank here. And what's amazing about that show is these are people or entrepreneurs pitching an idea, and there's an amazing rhythm that happens. They say, “We've got this great idea. It's this sort of company.” And the sharks, or the dragons, will listen. And there's a huge turning point when they reveal sales. They're either really excited about the idea and then they go, “Well, how are the sales?” And the person goes, “Well, we don't have any sales yet.” And they go, “Uh,” and they're not interested. Or they might even be like, “Eh, it doesn't seem like a good idea.” And they're like, “Well, how are the sales?” And they're like, “Oh, well, we've sold through the roof.” And then all of a sudden they perk up. So it's all about the sales. So step one is writing something that you want. Step two is making sure other people in your target audience are also loving it as much as you do. Step three is proving in some way at scale that there's real demand for it. So you could do that with trailers, you could do that with clips, you can do that as an indie publisher. There's all sorts of things that you can do. Humans are much more persuaded by concrete data than they are by just vibes. So if you can bring Hollywood concrete data of any type, like viral videos, like audience, like obviously bestsellers. Awards mean something, but not quite as much as sales. Then you're going to get Hollywood's attention because that reduces risk for them. So even now, when Hollywood's definitely shrinking and contracting, there's still very significant money being spent because it's a huge demand. If you ever walk around a studio lot, those things are opulent places. It's stunning. Like, how are they paying for all this stuff? These lots are enormous. It's because humanity is voracious for stories, and movies are one premium type of storytelling. The demand for stories is steady if not going up. It's just that we have a wider variety of types of stories that we can do, whether we're an indie author. So anyway, did I answer the question? You get me too excited with these questions, Jo. It's a problem. Jo: Yes. I think there's a lot of opportunity and a lot of ways in, but the parallels with being an indie author I think are quite clear. One of the things I found interesting about your profile and what you do is that you help clients who are already accomplished but not quite breaking through, and that sounds like a lot of mid-list indie authors, probably a lot of mid-list screenwriters, mid-list filmmakers. This is a hard place to be because, on the one hand, we are grateful for what we have achieved and what we can do, and yet wanting more, wanting that big Hollywood deal or the Netflix deal, or wanting the massive bestseller or whatever. So if someone wants to get to that next level, what are some of the ways that they can perhaps try and get there? Brooks: It's a great question. Coaching is a really wonderful way to learn anything of this sort of complexity and challenge, especially if it's a hyper-competitive business. We need two things, I think, to write a great novel or screenplay or both. A, we need to feel profoundly safe in our space. If we can't really feel deeply authentic about the things that are embarrassing, or that we feel shame about, or just our shadows, or anything that we don't feel completely comfortable saying and sharing in public usually. We need to be able to touch those things, and be articulate about those things, and that's one part of it. Then we need a concrete path forward. Maybe you're thinking about some tragedy that you had in childhood, and how you dealt with it and how difficult that was. So you need to be able to be real precise in those observations about what it felt like, and how you tried to compensate for it, and that didn't work and it made it worse. Whatever your observations are about your life journey, you need to be really specific and really deeply felt. A good coaching relationship allows you to be in that space, to be really honest with yourself and authentic. g Aood coach will push you back and say, “You know what? That sounds interesting, but maybe not quite as true to you deeply.” So that's one piece of it. Then there's a concrete path forward. You need to have the emotional access to that truth, and then you need to know what to do with that truth in a step-by-step way. Because most people, the ones that you're talking about, they're accomplished in something else. What happens is when we first start writing, and maybe this happens with novelists, but for sure it happens to screenwriters, you just start typing words. But you haven't really thought through the theme, the concept, the structure, the character, all the deeper questions that really matter. The milestones, like a North Star: winning a major award, or getting a publisher. That's the direction that we're heading towards, and then you set it and forget it, but you want to keep checking it every week, every month or whatever. But you want it very specific. “I would like to sell a book, or sell a book to Hollywood, or write a screenplay, or get a producer attached to a screenplay.” Whatever the milestone is, make it really specific, really concrete, and then reverse engineer. This is what I do on the concrete path. I reverse engineer every step to get there, starting with a really tiny one we can do today, and I make sure they feel really safe, and then we just walk through. Then what happens is, if you do that, if you feel safe, if you're showing up authentically and you have a process that's repeatable, not just willy-nilly, it's got to be something that's proven to work. It wasn't an accident I wrote 45 scripts. I've got a whole system. But by the way, the first five scripts took me forever. The last movie that I made took me three years to write that script. I can write a better script with those same elements in three months now, because I know I have a concrete path. So if you want to do something new, whether it's playing the piano or getting six-pack abs or writing a screenplay, work with somebody who's got a system that's already proven, and make sure you relate to them, and then just follow the system. Then when the doubts come up, and they will, that's where the feeling safe is really important. Because, oh, I want the six-pack abs, but I don't feel like going to the gym. I want the extra donut. If I'm working with a really good trainer, they go, “Dude, do you want the six-pack abs or not?” And then you go back and forth, and I go, “Okay, now I can make peace with myself and say I can take one tiny bite of the donut and then still do my workout,” and then I'm moving towards that North Star. Does that make sense? Jo: Yes. I think, like many independents, I resist anything that is systematised. I'm a discovery writer, and I follow the muse, and all of that kind of thing. I think I would say something in a similar vein, which is sustainable creativity for the long term, because your 45 scripts are also years of work, and my books are years of work, and we get better at what we do. So my system, I do have a system really, because— My system is that I do the work, and I write my stories, and I get them out there, and I do the marketing. So even if it's not as systematised as such, it's still a process that I have repeated over and over again. Brooks: That's fascinating to me. Would you consider yourself a pantser? You're like, “I've got an idea,” and you just start writing? Jo: I don't use the word pantser. I guess I call it discovery writing, which is… Brooks: That's a better term. Jo: Yes. What I'm writing for this prize, for example, I know the characters, I know now what's happening. When I had the idea, it was very much a vision and a theme, and the competition has a theme: a positive future with AI and technology. But the things that came around that, I then started playing with ideas around the treatment. I haven't written the screenplay yet. I don't do a plot, or I don't follow Save the Cat or any of that kind of thing. When I write a novel, I just explore and I never write in order. Then at some point I stop and then I have to think about the structure and putting it all together, so the edits are quite big. But my fun is in that discovery, really. Brooks: Oh, that's awesome. Okay, so let me ask, that's really fascinating. And by the way, that doesn't, to me, negate the system that I use. The one that I use is ultimately… the thing is, these questions, the audience is wanting your unique answers to. You don't necessarily need to do it in a certain order. I think that's actually really cool that you write out of order and you have a few elements in mind. All that stuff sounds awesome. The only thing that then makes me curious is, how's your pace? Are you actually completing novels at a pace that feels good, or do you feel like you go too fast, too slow? Jo: I do one or two a year at the moment. Well, two a year, really. But I would say I'm not as successful as I'd like to be, so I'm not saying that my system is the best. I'm saying I want to be better. It's just that my fun is this sort of creative chaos, which I then try and control later. One of the things I really like about screenplays and treatments and doing this kind of thing for film is that it is much more structured, I think, than a 70,000-word novel. You can go in all kinds of directions, whereas with screenwriting you do have to be more disciplined really. Brooks: Yes, so this is going to be fun probably, to hear my view for your audience, and the differences as I see them. For starters, you're talking about what, 10, 20, 30 hours reading a novel sometimes, or maybe less, whereas a movie's a 90-minute experience, right? So that's different. Or if it's a TV series, you might see an hour and then an hour. So that's a very different experience. What happens is when it's condensed like that, you're loading up layers. So every scene is stacked with exposition beneath the drama, and done in a certain way. So specifically, movies are only what you can see and only what you hear. Whereas novels, if you can think it, you can write it, it can be in there. So you don't need to have a plot, but if you want to sell your book to Hollywood, it helps. So I was very resistant about structure. I went to NYU film school, where we really just made short films. It was funny, I had friends that were in the dramatic writing department, and I was like, “You guys are wasting your money. You're just learning to write scripts. We learn to write the scripts and make the movies.” What I hadn't realised is it's a different skill set to hold somebody's attention across an hour-long play, or a 90-minute movie, than it is to make a movie that holds their attention for two minutes or five minutes. I found out years later when I made a feature that was like a lot of shorts patched together, and people were not… They liked it, but they didn't love it. I was like, “Well, what's going on?” And so then I learned to really love Save the Cat in particular. It completely changed me. What happened was, I got a big old slice of humble pie. I had made my second feature, and I put everything I had into it, and it had loose structural beginning, middle, end, blah, blah, blah. But I was still, “Eh, Hollywood BS. What do they know? It's all fake.” So I was very anti-Hollywood structure. Then I was like, now I've got two independent films out there, people saw them, liked them, whatever, but it wasn't getting me consistent work. It wasn't really advancing my career in the way that I wanted. And I was like, “Well, maybe there is something to the Save the Cat.” So I went to the Save the Cat workshop with Blake when he was still alive, and he was delightful, a really awesome guy. He's got this kind of cutesy style, for people that don't know. For context, Blake Snyder was a working Hollywood screenwriter, and he had this system called Save the Cat, which actually has some really interesting ideas. He's got this very light, breezy sort of style. A lot of people don't like him and some people really love him, and everything in between. But I took his weekend seminar, and it completely changed me, because at that point, like I said, I took three years to write a script. Then once he had a process and he had a way of thinking about craft that was just much more screenwriter-friendly, I was like, “Oh my God.” It was so much easier, because I was just focused on the right thing at the right time. So it just sped everything up. After that, I was banging out two to three scripts a year, and better and better quality. So for me, because I went from winging it and wrote five scripts in 13 years, and then wrote two to three scripts every year, I became a huge proponent of system and process. Then my own system really came from that, but it's modular. I have a nine-step system, but you don't necessarily have to go in that order, other than the last three steps, but I won't get into the details. Sometimes you kind of jump from two to three and then back to two and then back and forth. So I love that you get the feel for those elements, and then you just felt your way through. But writing screenplay pages doesn't make sense until you really understand concept, you get a deep sense of beginning, middle, end, character arcs, and these other threads. There are just way better tools for those jobs than screenplay format, because it's a really weird format. It's got these weird slug lines at the top that are all in caps, because a screenplay is a blueprint for somebody else to make the movie. It's not an end-user document like a novel. I don't let my clients even go to that format because it just gets them focused on the wrong things. What they really need to know is, what is your perspective about this theme? What happened in your life that you're fascinated with, that you'd even want to write about this? And tell me what your real life lessons are. So we go into… again, I go back to relationship. What's your relationship to the universe? And what's your relationship to your best friends, or where you got your heart broken, or whatever you want to write about. And then we get that clarity, and then I show you how to express it in terms of developing a screenplay. It's really long-form storytelling, and then the structure just makes it build on itself. But with the structure, because you're talking about so much money and people involved to make it, at least traditionally, what ended up happening was narrative structure that was not so much rigid. Because here's the thing, you can look at 50, 100 years of European cinema and you can look at Hollywood cinema, and Hollywood laps them. When I taught at UCLA Extension, I had lots of foreign students. Let's say there'd be two or three students… if there were 12 people in the class, two or three people would be from America, and everybody else would be from other countries. I would go around, I'd be like, “What movies and TV shows have you been watching?” Almost in every single country, they watch half from their own country, half from Hollywood. So Hollywood storytelling works, that's just the data, and they're dominant. The reason it works is what Aristotle was saying thousands of years ago.. There's a way of thinking about beginning, middle, end that just deeply speaks to the psyche, and you can ignore it if you want. I think Godard said, “You need beginning, middle, and end, but not necessarily in that order,” right? Which is great. Just the way we experience life, there's a beginning, a middle, an end to this podcast interview. There's a beginning, middle, end to the day, a beginning, middle, end to me eating lunch. So if you don't lean into the beginning, middle, end psychological aspect of your story, you're going to bore your reader. But to your point, you don't necessarily have to sort that out in the beginning. It's more efficient probably if you do, but you don't have to. Go into it wherever the muse tells you to go, and then at some point, like you do, then you go, “Okay, now I go back and I edit.” If you're saying there's another level, you have another gear in you, then yes, I'd be curious to slowly go through how you're making those decisions. Because what's happening probably is there are ways you're holding back a little bit. There's maybe something you're afraid of being vulnerable about. That's usually where me or other writers are holding themselves back, and we can take a look at that. There are different ways I show writers to do it. Then you can go, “Oh, I was doing it here, and now I can do it there.” And it could be with process, or just a certain creative choice. With story, it's clear and compelling. Those are the simple things. So, is this clear enough? Is it compelling enough? And there are almost always ways to up-level on any facet, whether it's one sentence, or a sentence that describes the whole concept of the book, or a chapter. Each one of those can be looked at with that lens and we can just say, “Hey, this is 70%, 80%,” whatever, and then we say, “Well, how do we get a little bit more?” And then when you do that enough, it piles up. Then especially if you bring in an audience and people are flipping out for your work, they'll tell you. Jo: Yes, I love a challenge, so thank you for everything you've shared today. So where can people find you and everything you do online? Brooks: Well, one way you can find me—if anything I said seemed helpful for you, if you have questions about Hollywood or you have a screenplay in your heart—you can just email me, brooks@brookselms.com. You could look me up on LinkedIn. I'm at Brooks Elms. I also have a Skool community called Screenwriter Marketing, but it's really for any sort of storyteller, and it talks about my favourite way to engage an audience and get through it. So anybody can jump into that if you like my vibe. If you really think anything I've said, or the way I said it, seems like it could be helpful for you, just reach out. Let me know what you're up to, and maybe there's a way I can help you. Jo: Fantastic. Well, thanks so much for your time, Brooks. That was great. Brooks: You're welcome. It was a total pleasure. It was lots of fun, and I really appreciate you.The post How To Prove The Demand For Your Stories And Get The Attention Of Hollywood With Brooks Elms first appeared on The Creative Penn.

PXY Mornings w/ Moose and Breezy! Gen Z isn't drinking... Billions of dollars are being lost in the process.

Court documents show that the Trump administration admits it killed off more than seven-and-a-half billion dollars in grants for clean energy politics over politics. For more KCBS Radio News Anchor Rebecca Goodeyon spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

In this explosive episode of On The Record, Christian Briggs exposes the highly coordinated, multi-billion-dollar plot to fundamentally dismantle Western civilization and replace the American republic. The globalist establishment insists that open borders and demographic shifts are just organic, historical changes. They are lying. We are witnessing a managed decline, and if you want to see the terrifying endgame, you only need to look across the Atlantic.The European blueprint is already locked in. Driven by mass migration, younger average ages, and higher fertility rates, the Muslim share of Europe's total population skyrocketed from 3.8% in 2010 to 4.9% by 2016. With the native European population rapidly aging, this demographic is projected to reach up to 14% of the continent by 2050 under the high-migration scenarios favored by the establishment. This isn't assimilation; it is a mathematical and cultural replacement, fueled by a younger median age of roughly 30 years old and a fertility rate of 2.6 children per woman.But while Europe falls to physical migration, America is being conquered from the inside out through a sophisticated ideological capture. Briggs follows the paper trail to reveal how foreign adversaries are literally buying the minds of our future leaders. Qatar stands as the largest overall foreign institutional donor to American higher education, funneling billions into elite universities like Harvard and Cornell to fund Middle Eastern studies, Islamic programs, and campus centers that breed anti-American radicalism.This foreign infiltration is seamlessly paired with a massive, decentralized domestic funding network. Billions of dollars flow annually from Muslim-American donors through religious obligations like Zakat and institutional giving. This war chest is weaponized by organizations like the Islamic Scholarship Fund, which explicitly targets the two pillars of American influence: public policy and media. By placing radicalized graduates directly into newsrooms and congressional offices, this network—in an unholy alliance with the progressive, Marxist Left—is deliberately rewriting our laws and manipulating our national narrative.The establishment wants you to feel isolated, helpless, and afraid to speak out. But they have a massive blind spot: the patriotic American citizen. This episode is a wake-up call and a battle plan. By exposing the foreign money, rejecting the globalist lies, and organizing at the local level, we can unravel their entire agenda. The hostile takeover is real, but the American people still hold the ultimate power to stop it.

Martin Armstrong is a Wall Street outsider who builds a financial prediction model with a hidden connection to the number pi. And whether it's fortune-telling or just a fluke, Martin's system really does predict some major economic events. His discovery attracts billions in investor funds and gives him the confidence to make bets no rational person would make. But when those bets fail, Martin faces a choice: admit the model was wrong or insist the whole world is conspiring against him. What happens next is either one of the greatest deep-state coverups in history… or an unhinged numerology scam that has Martin's followers still tangled up to this day.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Known for bridging the worlds of gospel and R&B over a 15-year career, we honored Malloy live on air, presenting him with the We Sound Crazy Black Excellence Award. The hosts celebrated Malloy's unique ability to seamlessly dream up innovative concepts and execute them as a powerhouse independent creator—a journey he admits took immense courage, risk-taking, and survival through seasons of extreme financial and emotional lack. Malloy walkes down memory lane, reflecting on his Pittsburgh roots, where 1,500 people wrapped around the block for his 2009 debut album release party, Lift Him Up. He shared a series of exclusive, high-profile industry stories, from his early days being pushed into masterclass vocal production by gospel legend Dorinda Clark Cole, the very collaboration that earned him his first Grammy nomination, to becoming a fixture in the studio with Missy Elliott, vocal producing stars like Monica and Halle Bailey. Malloy also touched on the profound impact of timely industry mentorship, recalling a lifesaving, middle-of-the-night encouragement call from gospel legend Kirk Franklin during one of his lowest professional seasons, and a moment where Jonathan McReynolds stepped in to buy him a plane ticket to the Stellar Awards when he was down to his last hundred dollars. Central to the discussion was Malloy's highly anticipated album, Favor, which features an elite lineup of vocal powerhouses including Kim Burrell, Le'Andria Johnson, Zacardi Cortez, and Ray J. Malloy revealed that the title track was actually written 15 years ago when he was behind on rent, emphasizing that songwriters must have the courage to write to their future rather than their current struggles. Beyond the music, Malloy highlighted his thriving entrepreneurial ventures, including the Urban Worship Collective and his highly successful luxury streetwear line, Millions, Billions and Trillions. He explained that the brand represents consciousness and mental elevation over mere currency, capping off an inspiring episode that showcased the resilient spirit behind one of modern gospel and R&B's brightest visionaries.

What is going on in Branson? Silver Dollar City is putting some serious money into the area- Billions with a B- and we're about to find out what's next.

Ferit Hoxha and Petras Auštrevičius on Albania's rapid progress, EU reform, Kosovo, Bosnia and the security cost of delay. Last weekend, the first of my two conversations on the Western Balkans was released. This discussion examined the danger of leaving six European neighbours indefinitely in the EU's waiting room. This conversation moved from the reasons for enlargement to the mechanics of making it happen. Billions of euros are being directed towards reforms, infrastructure and economic convergence, but money alone cannot build functioning institutions, settle historical disputes or manufacture political will. The European Union promised the Western Balkans a European future at Thessaloniki in 2003. Croatia joined in 2013, then enlargement largely stalled. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine changed the strategic calculation. The region is now seen less as a distant policy file and more as a space inside Europe where Russian influence, Chinese investment, disinformation and organised crime can exploit political uncertainty. Albania and Montenegro have emerged as the front-runners, while North Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia remain caught in very different political knots. My guests could hardly have been better placed to examine both sides of the process. Ferit Hoxha, Albania's Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, has spent more than 35 years in diplomacy. He has represented Albania at the United Nations, twice presided over the UN Security Council, and served as ambassador to the European Union, France and UNESCO. Beside him was Petras Auštrevičius, the European Parliament's standing rapporteur on EU enlargement and the man who personally negotiated Lithuania's accession as its chief negotiator from 2001 to 2002. From watching Europe to playing for Europe For Auštrevičius, membership changed Lithuania's position fundamentally. A candidate country may align its legislation, contribute to European security and accept decisions made in Brussels, yet it still remains outside the room where those decisions are shaped. Joining that team is a formidable task. The body of EU law, the acquis communautaire, already ran to around 120,000 pages when Lithuania was negotiating. Accession, Auštrevičius stressed, is far more than a bureaucratic exercise in changing national laws. Governments must explain the process, secure public confidence, involve businesses and social partners, and prepare institutions to function within an entirely new system. The European Union can appear excessively complicated, but common rules also create common standards, consumer protections and access to one of the world's largest markets. Auštrevičius described the EU as a globally exceptional project, imperfect and often cumbersome, yet still capable of turning former adversaries into partners. Albania's 13-month sprint Albania has moved through the revised accession system at remarkable speed. It opened all six negotiating clusters within 13 months and has now passed the interim assessment of the Fundamentals cluster, covering the judiciary, fundamental rights, justice, freedom and security. That allows the country to begin the difficult final phase of closing individual chapters, with the ambition of concluding negotiations by the end of 2027. The European Parliament has praised Albania's momentum while insisting that progress must remain strictly merit-based and that reforms must be implemented, not simply written into law. The country's momentum is real, but the remaining work is extensive. Corruption, judicial effectiveness, media freedom, political pressure on journalists and environmental protection all remain under close scrutiny. Albania must show that reforms are durable and that its institutions can enforce the standards they adopt. Environmental rules are particularly demanding because protecting biodiversity, upgrading infrastructure and modernising public administration require time, expertise and considerable investment. Hoxha accepted that the list is long. “The negotiation is about the gap,” he said: where Albania is now, where it must reach and how the country intends to bridge the distance. Merit must work in both directions Auštrevičius described two possible models of enlargement. Under the “convoy” approach, every candidate moves at the pace of the slowest. Under the “regatta” principle, each country competes against the same standards and advances according to its own performance. “To be first is good, but you have to be the best. What is promised must be implemented.” Petras Auštrevičius That distinction matters because the Western Balkans are too often treated as a single political problem. Albania's progress should not be slowed by another government's failure to reform. Equally, geopolitical urgency cannot become an excuse to admit countries whose institutions, democratic safeguards or foreign-policy choices remain incompatible with membership. Hoxha agreed that the process must remain merit-based, but argued that reciprocity is essential to its credibility. A candidate that fulfils an agreed condition must be allowed to move forward. Otherwise, public trust deteriorates and reformers struggle to explain why difficult changes bring no visible reward. Hoxha's response is to move before the political opportunity closes. Can countries begin joining before they become members? One answer may be gradual integration, giving reforming countries access to parts of the European system before full membership. This could include the single market, the SEPA payments area, EU programmes and eventually roaming without additional charges. Such measures make enlargement tangible to citizens who might otherwise wait years for its benefits. Albania already aligns fully with the EU's common foreign and security policy, Hoxha said. European sanctions become Albanian sanctions, and European missions become Albanian missions. His question was direct: if Albania accepts and implements those decisions, why should its representatives not attend relevant meetings as observers? This would also allow Albanian civil servants to understand how European decisions are formed before they must help administer them as members. Accession brings access, influence and funding, but also competition, obligations and responsibility. Preparation inside the institutions may ultimately be more effective than preparation from outside them. Europe is not a menu The sharpest part of the discussion concerned strategic alignment. Some candidate countries seek EU investment while also cultivating Russian political ties or Chinese involvement in infrastructure, telecommunications and other strategic sectors. Auštrevičius questioned whether a country can claim that Brussels is blocking its progress while its own decisions repeatedly pull it away from European foreign policy. Hoxha's answer was unequivocal: For Albania, European alignment is the first test applied to foreign-policy decisions. This is increasingly important because enlargement is intended to strengthen the Union. If new members carry the strategic influence of hostile powers into European decision-making, the process could weaken Europe from within. Auštrevičius compared accession to “a responsible marriage”. A country cannot demand solidarity, market access and financial support while refusing the political responsibilities that accompany them. Kosovo, Bosnia and the unfinished history of the region Kosovo remains unrecognised by five EU member states: Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Spain. Hoxha noted that practical relationships have nevertheless developed. Kosovo now has visa-free travel, its passports are recognised, and the five countries maintain varying degrees of contact. Yet the Serbia-Kosovo normalisation process remains slow despite dozens of agreements. The same tension is visible in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Dayton Peace Agreement stopped a horrific war and maintained peace, but the structure it created has also contributed to political blockages and competing centres of power. Hoxha argued that peace arrangements designed for an emergency should not automatically be considered permanent constitutional solutions. Yet Europe cannot simply impose unity upon a divided political system. “You cannot import a consensus. It has to be grown from within.” Ferit Hoxha The accession of Albania or Montenegro could provide the region with something it has lacked for more than a decade: visible proof that the door remains real. Citizens elsewhere may then exert greater pressure on leaders who use identity, history or institutional paralysis to avoid reform. The EU must also be ready to change Every stage of accession can be delayed by unanimity. Auštrevičius argued for qualified-majority voting on intermediate decisions, reducing the ability of one government to hold an entire country hostage to a bilateral dispute. This would not remove the final consent required for membership, but it could prevent accession from becoming an arena for historical retaliation. Hoxha went further, saying Albania would be willing to commit in its future accession treaty not to use a veto when it stood alone against every other member state. It was a striking promise from a country still outside the Union: Albania is already considering how to make Europe more functional once it enters. “Enlargement is our strength, not our weakness. Let us agree politically to do it on time.” Petras Auštrevičius Enlargement has always produced apprehension. Yet each previous expansion increased the Union's population, market, influence and strategic reach. For Hoxha, Albania's direction is no longer a question under discussion. The question is therefore no longer whether Albania wants Europe. It is whether Europe can reform itself, recognise progress when it occurs and act before another generation concludes that the promise was never meant to be kept.

The Pentagon, sinking billions into Iran war, is quickly running short on cash. Trump approves nuclear agreement that may allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium. Oil rises to over $95 a barrel. Iran war remains massively unpopular with Americans. NJ and election fraud. One-Hit Wonder Wednesday. 

Both Israeli leaders and the Israeli public – lulled by both President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden’s backing of Israel – are utterly unprepared for the generational tsunami taking place when it comes to American support for the Jewish state, Haaretz’s opinions editor Amir Tibon told the Haaretz Podcast "Approximately 60 percent of Americans have a negative view of Israel, and the younger you go, the worse it gets – we're close to 80 percent," said Tibon, who previously served as Haaretz’s Washington and diplomatic correspondent. "Israelis are looking at the top line, which is what does Trump have to say about us? And they're ignoring the iceberg, which is hidden underneath the daily Trump noise, of negative views of the country." "We’re going to have a lot of problems once this older generation leaves the American political scene, and most Israelis don't understand it yet," he said. In his conversation with podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Tibon also addressed the topic engaging most Israelis: whether or not Israel will be pulled into the continuing military confrontation between Iran and the United States, either at the request of the U.S. president or in response to a potential strike by the Iranians. He also addressed Gaza, both as a journalist and as a Gaza border resident. If Trump’s plan for rebuilding Gaza remains stagnant, he said, the situation is a “ticking-time bomb” with the “continuation of war” being inevitable. Tibon, who survived the October 7 attack on Kibbutz Nahal Oz, as detailed in his book, said that the ghosts of that day are ever present in daily life. "The memory is still there, and the fear is still there, and the trauma. And I think what is most lacking is a sense of optimism that we will have a better reality a year from today."

The entire baseline architecture has transitioned to the Quantum Financial System (QFS) — where every single transaction pool, international settlement, and corporate clearance is forced to execute through clean, digital asset-backed channels. CHAPTER 2: THE GOLDEN STANDARDS ACTIVATION The era of speculative, print-on-demand fiat paper is dead. The US Dollar and Euro corporate illusions are hitting an absolute wall. Under the strict enforcement of the new global economic protocols, every currency digital asset line must be anchored directly to verified, audited physical precious metals. The unbacked, synthetic liabilities that the Cabal used to manipulate energy and housing sectors are being rendered dead assets in real-time. CHAPTER 3: THE MEDIA SPECTRUM DECAPITATION The mockingbird Media synchronization is breaking in broad daylight. As the financial infrastructure of the old elite collapses, their private funding lines for the major media cartels are hitting absolute zero. Decentralized truth networks via secure Starlink quantum encryption relays are already spreading across the global bandwidth, completely bypassing the corporate gatekeepers and preparing the public grid for the unsealed military tribunal disclosures.   Pay close attention to the sudden, unannounced early bank branch closures and restricted digital access notices at major commercial banking institutions in your area today. They cannot generate paper debt to balance their sheets anymore, and their private authority keys have been permanently revoked. They designed the matrix to make you believe their financial iron curtain was indestructible. But the master switch has been flipped from the inside, the validation metrics are live, and the old world has officially run out of air. The reset is going kinetic. The sovereign era is fully live. The baseline shift was running on live banking clearing nodes right now. While the corporate financial channels are desperately trying to cover up the sudden “administrative outages” across major commercial branches with routine server maintenance notices, the raw ledger telemetry shows the truth: The private central Banking Cartel has been legally and physically severed from individual wealth management. On Mon. 20 July 2026 at exactly 02:00 UTC, the SWIFT protocol clearance keys were permanently overridden. The transition to the ISO 20022 Quantum Financial System (QFS) standard entered its non-reversible execution phase. Here is the unedited, verified inside telemetry straight from the Tier 4B operational hubs: THE REVALUATION MATRIX IS LIVE ON CORE SCREENS The treasury screens inside secure liquidation vaults are displaying internal asset-backed adjustments. The revalued currency rates—led by the primary resource-backed baskets including the Iraqi Dinar and sovereign Zim bonds—are locked behind Quantum-encrypted firewalls. The fiat paper illusion printed out of thin air is officially dead equity. WE THE PEOPLE — SOVEREIGN DIRECT ACCESS Under the strict mandates of the Restored Constitutional Governance and NESARA/GESARA legal structures, bank intermediaries no longer own or control your capital. Every QFS-verified account is 100% direct-access by the account holder alone. No federal tax confiscation, no unconstitutional debt holds, no institutional freezing. THE TIER 4B NOTIFICATION WINDOW The encrypted Safe-Link algorithms are primed for deployment. The appointment slots for private exchange and humanitarian project funding are fully structured under high-security Alliance protection. • Standard Sovereign Holdings: Instantly credited onto digital asset ledgers backed 1:1 by gold and physical commodities.   • Humanitarian Project Lead Holdings: Accessing specialized asset-allocation tiers to fund immediate local infrastructure, free energy, and community rebuilding. Look at your local commercial bank interface. Look at the unprecedented, synchronized limitations on large fiat paper withdrawals worldwide. They cannot generate fractional-reserve debt anymore because the master ledger requires 100% physical metal backing for every single transaction code. The power has been permanently stripped from the private elites and handed directly back to “We The People.” Check your secure devices. Organize your project documentation. Keep your financial parameters completely quiet. The old world is out of money. The sovereign era is fully operational tonight Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System. Mon. 20 July 2026: Iran just hit Kuwait's power grid. Iran just attacked Bahrain. Israel claims Netanyahu's arrest is imminent. And somewhere in a classified bunker, someone just activated a contingency protocol. A protocol called “Global Lockdown.” …Mr. Pool Final Chapter on Telegram A military strategist from Pentagon's War Games Division revealed,”Iran attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain aren't random. Coordinated with Israel collapse. Netanyahu arrest destabilizes. Perfect moment for lockdown card.” “Lockdown protocol ready for years. Pandemic 2.0. Economic collapse. Martial law. Deep state waiting. They tried 2020. Trying again now.” “Trump knows. Military knows. We've been watching. When they move, we counter. When they lock down, we unlock.” “Iran escalation is real but distraction. While world watches, deep state moves pieces. Activating protocols. Preparing lockdown.”   “Netanyahu arrest isn't justice. It's destabilization. Creating chaos for lockdown. We see it. We're stopping it.” Why now: “Evidence overwhelming. Lockdown protocol documented. Deep state plans exposed. Move now or they execute.” “Trump authorized military countermeasures. Not Iran retaliation. Counter-ops against deep state. Against lockdown machinery.” “Iran escalation is cover. Netanyahu chaos is cover. Underneath, dismantling lockdown apparatus. Destroying their ability.” “When public, people understand. Not about conflict. About preventing enslavement. Stopping final takeover.” What's coming: “More exposure. More evidence. Lockdown was planned. Chaos orchestrated. Deep state ready for control.” “Military moving. Trump moving. Evidence compiled. Truth prepared for release.” “Lockdown protocol exposed, world wakes. People understand: one crisis from permanent control. Everything changes.” Operation Unlock ✓ activated Phase 1: Evidence Gathering ✓ complete Phase 2: Deep State Exposure ⟳ live (Iran chaos cover) Phase 3: Lockdown Protocol Destruction ⟳ July 20-August 5 Phase 4: Truth Release ⟳ August 6-31 The lockdown isn't happening. The Deep State is falling. The control grid is being destroyed. Trump authorized it. The military is executing it. Freedom is real. The world isn't locking down. The world is waking up. Everything changes. Operation code: Unlock-7719 Status: active Target: global lockdown apparatus Fri. 17 July 2026 THE METRICS FOR THE PLANETARY RESET ARE RUNNING LIVE ON THE TERMINALS….Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The sudden, unprecedented data sync drops hitting international administration hubs today (Fri. 17 July 2026) are not technical failures. The global apparatus is entering the primary activation sequence. The operational strategy is mapped directly onto the verified 3-Day Bay of Pigs defense protocol, immediately triggering the subsequent 10-Day full-spectrum shutdown of the legacy grid. The Military EBS is fully primed for direct, un-censored broadcast to all TV and Radio frequencies worldwide. Simultaneously, the old corporate government structures are being systematically stood down to make way for the definitive GESARA Blockchain Elections. The future administrative model will be exactly 10% the size of the current matrix—run entirely by uncorrupted, vetted sovereigns. The entire planet is transitioning into the QUANTUM GESARA baseline. We are witnessing the absolute, non-reversible shift: • Quantum Financial System (QFS) • Quantum Voting System (QVS) • Quantum Healing Matrix • Quantum Internet Framework The old infrastructure is being completely erased. The legacy internet network—built under Operation Mockingbird to control human consciousness—is hitting a terminal wall. No more Microsoft dominance. No more corporate media monopolies. The entire digital field is being rebooted through secure Starlink nodes. The private intelligence networks used by the old establishment to weaponize society are being permanently disassembled as we speak. The Mossad, Five Eyes, and CIA architectures have lost their cryptographic master access. Moving forward, the only validated network on the planet will be Military Intelligence operating under Alliance directives. The baseline of the new economy is locked into the metal-backed Rainbow Treasury Notes and the internationally regulated, gold-standard ISO 20022 USA Coins.   The MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) is no longer a kinetic threat—it is the synchronized execution of the Global Currency Reset, the return of the Precious Metal Standard, the full deployment of Quantum GESARA, and the absolute DECLAS (Declassification) of everything on Earth. Look closely at the irregular technical groundings and the sudden system “freezes” across international sectors tonight. The old world is losing its broadcast range. THE RESTORATION IS FULLY LIVE. What We Think We Know as of Tues. 21 July 2026: Mon. 20 July 2026 Iran Nuclear Facility About to Bomb US, Destroyed by US: Iran Thought 2,000 Feet Of Granite Protected Fordow… Then America UNLEASHED This Mon. 20 July 2026 BREAKING SPECIAL REPORT: Trump's Election Bombshell & The Rubio-Bessent “SHADOW GOVERNMENT” Exposure – The Empire's War on Builders [VIDEO] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 BOMBSHELL ALERT: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Orders MASSIVE BANK AUDITS by IRS in $18 Billion Minnesota Welfare Laundering Scandal | VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 EXPLOSIVE REPORT: THE $100,000,000,000 “DEATH” RACKET: RFK Jr. Exposes the Massive Healthcare Fraud Draining America [VIDEO] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 TOP INTEL OPERATIVES FACE JUDGMENT DAY: DOJ Launches Grand Jury To Crush Obama, Clinton & Russiagate Traitors In History's Biggest Political Coup Case – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 MIRACLE ALERT: The Secret Healing Power of MORINGA Is Finally Exposed – Rejuvenate Your Body, Boost Immunity & Fight Inflammation Naturally! – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 BOOM: “ABOLISH THE IRS” Trends After Trump Exposes Tax System — “FOREIGN COUNTRIES CONTROL OUR POLITICIANS” | Tax Day 2026 VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 Hillary Clinton's email to John Podesta: confirms that the Kenyan Administration: Barack Obama + Hillary Clinton + Saudi Arabia + Qatar founded ISIS. …Nesara Gesara on Telegram Julian Assange: “ISIS is funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. This is the most significant email in the whole collection… The Government of Saudi and the Government of and Qatar that has been funding ISIS… Under Hillary Clinton and Clinton emails revealed… the largest ever arms deals in the world was made in Saudi Arabia, more than $80 Billion dollars. In fact during her tenure as Secretary of State total arms exports from the United States in terms of the dollar value doubled…” In other words, during Hillary Clinton's time as Secretary of Bribery, the Obama's State Department approved massive arms sales — particularly to Saudi Arabia. The result was the rise of terrorist groups like ISIS, funded largely by the very people who were bribing the Clinton Foundation. In short, the death, the be-headings, and the destruction were, in large part, due to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Mon. 20 July 2026 Fox News: Border Czar Tom Homan claims ICE Agents under siege from leftist hate, but delivered record results: Border czar calling it like it is, agents facing 9000% threat spike, vehicle attacks, rhetoric turning families into targets. Dems and media vilifying them daily as “N---s” and “secret police” while they enforce the laws THEY passed. Yet ICE is smashing records: Historic June arrests, 40%+ increase, removing criminals and threats. Prioritizing public safety despite 100+ injunctions and shutdown sabotage. Homan: “I have their six.” Real Americans stand with our ICE heroes, moms, dads, patriots keeping us safe. Enough with the hate that endangers lives. Back the Blue (and ICE)! Deportations continue. America First.” Mon. 20 July 2026 THE OBAMA FILES ARE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT. His lawyers didn't show up to negotiate. They showed up to BEG. …The Great Awakening on Telegram Here's what Bondi's team found inside the Tehran servers under Obama's codename — RENEGADE: — 14 wire transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014-2016. Total: $1.7 billion. The same $1.7 billion he told Congress was “frozen Iranian assets.” — A signed directive authorizing the CIA to stand down during the Benghazi attack. Not typed. HANDWRITTEN. — Communications with Epstein's handler, dated March 2015, discussing “the island arrangement” and “the Chicago package.” — A backchannel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active from 2012 to 2024. Yes. 2024. Two years AFTER he left office. He didn't just betray America. He was running a shadow government from his basement in D.C. while pretending to be retired. His lawyers are now offering FULL COOPERATION in exchange for immunity. Trump said no. No deals. No mercy. No escape. The man who divided America for 8 years is about to face the America he tried to destroy. And she's awake. Mon. 20 July 2026 THEY HAVE BEEN LYING TO YOU ABOUT OIL FOR 150 YEARS. …The Great Awakening on Telegram Oil is not rare. It is not made from dead dinosaurs. It is the second most common liquid on Earth after water and it is literally the planet's lifeblood. The entire “fossil fuel” scam was invented by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 1800s to create artificial scarcity and jack up prices to insane levels. They fed you the biotic lie so you would believe oil is some finite dinosaur soup that is about to run dry. Total fabrication. Oil is abiotic. It is a liquid mineral cooked deep in the Earth's mantle under crushing pressure and scorching heat. It is the natural lubricant for tectonic plates and the grease that keeps the planet's massive gears turning smoothly. That is why wells drilled dry in the 1970s are filling back up again today. The Earth is pumping fresh oil from below and regenerating it nonstop. It does not run out. We are sucking the lubricant out of the planet's engine and now the whole machine is starting to shake. More earthquakes. Creaking faults. Grinding plates. Coincidence? No. We are stripping the oil that keeps the Earth's crust sliding properly and the system is literally seizing up. The so-called “fossil theory” is the greatest economic hack in human history. Real crude oil has almost zero biological markers. No nitrogen, no phosphorus, nothing that would survive if it came from dead organisms. It is pure polymeric hydrocarbons, primordial stuff from the Earth's own formation. Thomas Gold tried to warn the world. He proved hydrocarbons like methane and oil rise from the deep mantle, not from ancient swamps. The establishment destroyed his reputation because the truth would collapse their entire control grid. If people knew oil is basically tap water for the planet, endlessly generated from below, the entire parasitic geopolitics of wars, sanctions, and price manipulation would evaporate overnight. They do not want you to know the Earth makes its own oil. They need you scared, dependent, and paying through the nose while they bleed the planet dry. Wake up. The dinosaurs had nothing to do with it. This is the biggest lie they ever sold us and it is k-----g the engine of the world. Mon. 20 July 2026 DHS is aggressively TARGETING CDL truck driving schools who fraudulently give licenses to foreigners and illegal aliens that end up k-----g Americans. GOOD! SHUT THEM ALL DOWN! …Dan Bongino on Telegram President Trump is also moving to replace illegals with VETERANS in the truck driver workforce. 75 entry-level driving schools are now under investigation for FRAUD. 24,000 drivers who can't speak English were already taken off the roads — and 4 states had to cancel 28,000 licenses issued ILLEGALLY 9,500 schools have already been CANCELED from the federal registry “Thousands of unqualified trucking schools have already been taken off the federal registry, but Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation are working to do even more.” “The two federal agencies are announcing a collaboration to enforce rules and regulations at trucking schools all across the country.” Sun. 19 July 2026 Fox News BREAKING: DEEP STATE DESPERATION EXPOSED! They tried to K--L President Trump mid-flight. …Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram On July 9, 2026, as Trump departed Turkey aboard the brand-new Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8 — his future Air Force One — the Deep State launched a cowardly cyber strike from Langley, Virginia. They targeted the plane's electronic controls in a blatant assassination attempt. But Trump — always ten steps ahead — switched to the older Air Force One at the last second. What the Fake News called a “routine security precaution” was actually a brilliant trap. This was the beginning of the Great Purification. Encrypted comms intercepted. Traitors scrambling. NYT journalists hit with emergency subpoenas because they had obituaries and “air disaster” stories pre-written and ready to publish. They were waiting for the crash. THEY. FAILED. AGAIN. Trump just exposed the entire rat nest. The storm is here. Justice is coming. Sun. 19 July 2026: They've been stealing elections for at least 15 to 20 years, not just here in the United States, but around the world. Now they're exposed and running out of options….Steve Bannon on Telegram In the Georgia 2020 election at the State Farm Arena, we have them on video pulling out hidden suitcases full of ballots that were separate from all of the other ballots and running the same stacks of ballots through machines all throughout the night, with NO observers present, which is completely illegal, after they stopped the count, lied to observers, telling everyone they're going home. We have multiple states and counties destroying evidence, no chain-of-custody documents, counterfeit ballots, dead people voting, 120% voter turnouts, IP addresses from outside the country confirmed communicating with our election machines, etc… Members of our own government, the CIA, DHS, CISA, the EAC, all knew these machines and companies were compromised, but cleared them anyway for use in U.S. elections. That alone should tell you how deep and corrupt the system really is and what we are truly up against. Sun. 19 July 2026 Unclassified & Un-redacted Files Pending Release. …Julian Assange, The 17th Letter (JFK Jr.) on Telegram: The Benghazi files. The JFK files. The Jeffrey Epstein files The MLK Files. The RFK files. The 9/11 files. The Seth Rich files. The Hunter Biden laptop files. The January 6th files. The C---D-19 origin files. The Fauci files. The Nord Stream sabotage files. The Roswell files. The UFO/UAP files. The Malcolm X files. The Tuskegee Experiment files. The MKUltra files (full scope). The Operation Northwoods files. The Iran-Contra files (unredacted). The Snowden leaks (classified portions). The Las Vegas shooting files. The Clinton email server files. The George Floyd autopsy files (unreleased details). The Area 51 files (beyond Roswell). Mon. 20 July 2026 A FORMER NSA ELECTION SECURITY DIRECTOR JUST WENT PUBLIC. TRUMP'S DECLASSIFICATION REVEALED EVERYTHING. THE VULNERABILITIES WERE WORSE THAN ANYONE IMAGINED. …QAnon on Telegram He contacted us through an encrypted channel 48 hours ago. His identity has been verified by three independent cybersecurity experts. He worked in NSA's Election Security Division 2016-2024. He calls it “The Silent Breach.” His words. Unedited: “Foreign actors penetrated our election infrastructure for 8 years. Real-time breaches. We did nothing.” “In 2016, I documented 47 vulnerabilities in 12 states. They said: ‘This stays classified.'” “By 2018, Chinese intelligence accessed voter databases in 7 states. We knew. We did nothing.” “By 2020, evidence of foreign interference in 19 states. Logs. Timestamps. Everything.” “I told my director we must go public. He said: ‘It destroys confidence. We can't allow that. So they classified it. They buried it. They silenced me.” “In 8 years, I witnessed:”  127 confirmed foreign intrusion attempts into election infrastructure  34 successful penetrations of voter registration systems  19 states with documented vulnerabilities  Zero public disclosures  Zero accountability “Millions voted in systems we knew were compromised. Foreign actors had access. We could have fixed it. I couldn't sleep. For 8 years.” WHY HE'S TALKING NOW: “Trump's declassification changed everything. The documents are coming out. The vulnerabilities are being exposed. The truth cannot be hidden anymore.” “I have 8 years of documentation. I have the intrusion logs. I have the foreign IP addresses. I have the names of officials who covered this up. I have the proof that this was known and ignored.” “I am ready to testify. Under oath. Before Congress. Before the American people.” “127 foreign intrusion attempts. 34 successful breaches. 19 compromised states. Zero accountability. That's not national security. That's treason.” HIS FINAL MESSAGE: “To every American who voted: Your vote might have been compromised. I'm sorry. We knew. We did nothing.” “To every election official who was kept in the dark: You were lied to. The vulnerabilities existed. Your superiors knew.” “To the people who silenced me: The truth is coming. And you cannot stop it.” OPERATION ELECTION TRUTH ✓ ACTIVATED PHASE 1: Declassification ✓ LIVE PHASE 2: Public Exposure ⟳ JULY 21-25 PHASE 3: Accountability ⟳ AUGUST 1 The documents are being released. The vulnerabilities are being exposed. The cover-up is ending. Trump declassified it. The NSA tried to hide it. But the truth is coming out. SHARE THIS. WAKE THEM UP. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. The election security cover-up is finished. Med Bed Body Regeneration Therapy Since 1898 when famed inventor Nicola Tesla first discovered Med Bed Regenerative Therapy, it has been known to heal the body without use of drugs or surgery. Back then American doctors were healing people from all kinds of diseases and injuries using Frequencies, Light, Sound and Electromagnetic Fields taught at universities and practiced in hospitals. By 1910 the Rockefeller Foundation, wanting to make money off of pharmaceuticals, bought and closed over 160 Medical Schools that taught Homeopathy. In their quest for wealth the Rockefeller Foundation's influence also soon covered the legal aspects. Doctors refusing to prescribe drugs lost their license. Researchers studying Frequency based healing lost their funding. By 2019 the American Medical Association were forced to formerly recognize the healing affects of Med Beds, “The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures.” However, concerned about a loss of income in both medical practice and pharmaceuticals, the AMA sent a warning to all 847,000 Licensed American Doctors: “Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” On Wed. 15 July 2026 President Trump reviewed a 3,400-page classified report that documented 61 years of suppressed frequency healing research on Med Bed technology. It proved that Med Bed treatments could reverse aging, detox cells, activate stem cells, rewire nervous systems and naturally regenerate o----s including heart, liver and kidneys. Trump immediately signed Executive Order 2026-1947, which declassified Med Bed Technology for civilian use, then warned the Medical/Drug Professions of possible indictment if they held up deployment of Med Beds.

Despite promises the Iran war would be decided quickly and decisively, the fighting continues. Does the Trump administration have an exit strategy for Iran and is the US heading into another forever war?After more than two months without an Iran war update, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before the senate and asked for billions more to fund the war in Iran.Hegseth is asking for $67 billion URGENTLY, and Senators – mostly democrats – had questions for Hegseth about the size of the request and the overall strategy of the war.This episode was produced by Lauren Hodges, Gabriel Sanchez, Kadin Mills and Tyler Bartlam. It was edited by Janaya Williams, Andrew Sussman, Justine Klein and Courtney DorningOur interim executive producer is Courtney Dorning.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Billions of pounds of plastic end up in our global oceans every year. Birds – like this Short-tailed Shearwater –  that mistake this pollution for food often die from malnutrition, poisoning, or damage to their digestive systems. We can all make the world a safer place for birds and people by keeping plastic out of our waterways. You can replace single-use plastics with reusable items, join a community clean up day in your area, or maybe skip party balloons at your next event. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

The NFL is the most profitable sports league on the planet. Thirty-two franchises. Billions in revenue. Owners worth tens of billions of dollars individually. And they won't put grass in their stadiums. This isn't a new conversation. It's just one that never gets loud enough. Nick Bosa tore his ACL on turf. Davante Adams. Deebo Samuel. The list of players who have gone down on artificial surfaces and never fully come back is long, it's painful, and it's completely preventable. The NFLPA has been fighting this battle for years. Players vote turf among their top safety concerns every single season.
