On this episode of the Freedom Writers Podcast, Erin Gruwell is joined by original Freedom Writer Erica Alcaraz for an intimate conversation about courage, empathy, and storytelling. As a teenager in Room 203, Erica penned Diary #62, a raw yet eloquent account of childhood sexual abuse, featured in "The Freedom Writers Diary." Decades later, her words continue to resonate, empowering survivors around the world to reclaim their voices and share their truths. Erica reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped her life, from breaking her silence in Erin's classroom to unexpectedly choosing motherhood and raising her remarkable adopted son, Joshua, now a Freedom Writer scholarship recipient heading to college. She shares the emotional complexity of parenting after trauma, the realities of relapse and recovery, and her profound commitment to mentoring others through their darkest hours. This episode is a powerful reminder that writing can be activism, empathy is essential for healing, and even our most painful experiences can become catalysts for change. It's a tribute to all who dare to speak their truth — and a call to action for listeners to foster compassion, community, and courage.

Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. In a gripping special episode of her appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, seasoned police officer Autumn Clifford pulls back the curtain on what Hollywood gets wrong about law enforcement and especially about women in the force. Known for her straight-shooting style and no-fluff advice, Autumn isn't just a cop, she's also a coach, podcast host, and powerful voice challenging outdated narratives about female officers. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “She smashes stereotypes every time she puts on the badge,” says a fan on Facebook. And it's true, Autumn's story proves that real-life police work, especially from the perspective of a woman, is far more complex and courageous than what Hollywood often shows. It is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other platforms. In this special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast , Autumn recounts one of the most intense moments of her early police career: a domestic violence call that turned into a standoff with an armed suspect holding his partner hostage. While action movies might glamorize this as a gun-blazing, adrenaline-fueled rescue, Autumn explains the reality. Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “It wasn't about kicking in doors or pulling a trigger,” she says. “It was about using my voice, my presence, and my training to deescalate. We talked him down. We saved lives that day. That's the part you don't see in the movies.” The episode dives deep into the gritty truth of police work and reveals how television and film often reduce female cops to one-dimensional roles: either hyper-sexualized, overly emotional, or placed in administrative tasks rather than on the frontlines. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “You know what's wild?” Autumn asks. “Just type ‘Female Police Officer Stereotypes' into any AI tool and you'll see the same tired nonsense. That we're too weak, too emotional, not respected enough to lead. That stuff is still circulating. And it's false.” Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. As Autumn tells it, these stereotypes aren't just insulting, they're harmful. They can impact hiring, promotions, and the way the public and fellow officers perceive female professionals. But she's not here to complain, she's here to change the conversation. “Do you know how many women applied to become officers because of Angie Dickinson in Police Woman?” she points out. “Representation matters. Back then, she was the first to lead a successful police drama. Today, we need more real stories out there. Not just fiction.” You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. She draws inspiration from characters like Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs and Marge Gunderson from Fargo, women who were smart, tough, and quietly powerful. “When I ran the obstacle course, I pictured Jodie Foster's Clarice running beside me,” Autumn laughs. “That's how much that mattered.” Autumn's message reaches beyond the badge. Through her coaching podcast and her website AutumnClifford.com, she guides people to become the best versions of themselves. Her no-nonsense style resonates with those looking to break through barriers in their own lives. Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. “If you're stuck, if you're burnt out, if you feel like no one understands, you're not alone,” she says. “I've been there. My podcast isn't just stories. It's strategy. It's support. It's soul.” Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. In her first podcast episode, Autumn shared her frustrations with law enforcement culture and how a back injury forced her to redefine her purpose. That journey became the foundation for her coaching work. Now, she brings on world-class guests, shares raw insights, and offers tools for transformation. “She's not just talking to cops,” says one listener. “She's talking to anyone who feels like they've been underestimated.” Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. So the next time you watch a cop drama or a crime thriller, ask yourself, Do you know what really happens out there? Do you know what these women are capable of? Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets.

Grace Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life.  She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. Learn more about Year of Inquiry at https://workwithgrace.com/year-of-inquiry Grace also has a special love for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating.  Grace works with all kinds of compulsions, habits and addictions as they are all the same thing: a pull to some behavior, substance or activity in order to help us with our stressful feelings and thoughts. As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering. When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving.  In the public sessions on this youtube channel, we have all-group inquiry sessions called First Friday Inquiry, we have interviews with practitioners of The Work, we have Eating Peace videos (on the eating peace playlist) and we have individual sessions in The Work by courageous people willing to be recorded for Peace Talk podcast and this channel. Thanks to everyone involved in what is shared here on this channel, as it is great service to others in the world who find their way here and who are curious about life without "believing" thought all the time.   In all-group sessions and solo sessions, we begin with a judgment...and move into the four questions and turnarounds. Willingness to be real and honest with your thinking is the first powerful step in The Work.  No one ever has to share when attending Friday Inquiry, and thank you when you do.   For the Work With Grace programs and more information, and to get on the Grace Notes mailing list for updates and sharing of all kinds around The Work, please visit www.workwithgrace.com To receive notice of Eating Peace programs, videos and vlog posts, visit www.workwithgrace.com/eating-peace and join the mailing list.

Across two intense segments, this broadcast exposes a sweeping campaign of government-backed censorship, alleged corruption, and disturbing cover-ups. The host unpacks how taxpayer-funded nonprofits like the National Endowment for Democracy and the Global Disinformation Index were used to suppress conservative voices, manipulate search engines, and threaten advertisers—all under the guise of fighting "misinformation." The monologue then dives into unanswered questions surrounding Donald Trump's assassination, Epstein's death, and suspicious federal inaction. Finally, the focus shifts to bizarre and escalating drone/UFO incursions near U.S. military sites, raising urgent questions about national security, government transparency, and who really holds the reins of power. A hard-hitting warning about what's at stake when truth becomes a casualty.

In this explosive segment, hosts dissect the growing allegations of corruption surrounding President Joe Biden and his family's alleged ties to Chinese money. From IRS whistleblowers gagged before the election to Van Jones breaking Democratic silence on Biden's cognitive decline, the conversation uncovers layers of suppression, manipulation, and media complicity. With claims of DOJ interference, foreign influence, and a shadow presidency, this episode challenges the official narrative and questions who's really calling the shots in the White House. A fiery takedown of unchecked power, selective justice, and the double standard driving America's political divide.

In this explosive monologue, the host dives into the deafening silence from both mainstream and conservative media surrounding the details of a major spending bill—and what that silence might be hiding. From shocking U.S. credit downgrades to the quiet return of quantitative easing, this episode warns of looming economic instability and a failing financial system propped up by illusions. But it doesn't stop there. The narrative takes a darker turn, exposing what the host calls one of the greatest human trafficking scandals in American history—300,000 missing migrant children and the Biden administration's alleged role in losing them. This episode demands you look where others won't and ask the questions the media refuses to.

It might've been a boring trading day on the surface… but don't let the calm fool you. On today's episode of Trader Merlin, we're digging into some game-changing developments in the crypto space that flew under the radar.

Laura and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by two powerhouse guests: Dr. Nadine Macaluso, trauma bond expert and ex-wife of the real Wolf of Wall Street, and Brian Buckmire, criminal defense trial attorney and ABC Legal Contributor. Laura, Lisa and Nadine unpack the insidious dynamics of love bombing, grooming, and power imbalance and manipulation straight out of the abuser's playbook. They explore cognitive dissonance, and the shame and sexual coercion many women endure in silence. Nadine shares deeply personal insights from her own experience, having walked in Cassie Ventura's shoes, offering a survivor-informed lens that cuts through the noise. Then, in a critical courtroom breakdown, of the first week of trial Laura, Lisa and Brian dive into the legal complexities of the Diddy trial—from the potential impact of juror demographics on perceptions of consent to discussions about Diddy's deviant sexual psychopathology. Laura brings her decades of expertise into sharp focus—connecting coercive control patterns to the real-world courtroom to help us all understand the warning signs that are often missed, help listeners understand, identify and avoid the traps abuser and spotlight how lawyers spin the narrative and blur the lines when defending abusive men. This episode is essential listening. This isn't just about one man. It's about a pattern, a power structure, and the need for real, survivor-centered justice reform.

This throwback episode of the Alan Mead Experiences features a conversation with Dr. Dawn Grimes about the stuff that we let in to our brains. The discussion delves into Alan's recent transition to a three-day clinical week, the challenges of staffing, and the surprising mental toll of early mornings and long days. This leads to a deeper exploration of how the content consumed during commutes—particularly "outrage media"—can impact one's mindset, and Alan's experiment with silent, mindful morning drives. They touch upon managing anxiety, the power of being present, the significance of remembering names in personal and professional interactions, and the importance of consciously choosing one's reactions to life's daily irritants.

What happens when the very thing that once lit you up feels out of reach—yet still lives deep in your soul, waiting to be reclaimed? In this episode, we sit down with Carla Sciaky, a lifelong musician, who opens up about her incredible journey from early musical brilliance to facing a dark night of the soul that transformed everything. Carla shares how her relationship with music shifted from pressure and perfectionism to something sacred—purpose-driven, healing, and deeply connected to Spirit. We explore how silence became her ally, how creativity cycles through light and shadow, and how music—far beyond just entertainment—has the power to change lives, starting with her own.From the science behind music's effect on the brain and body to its emotional influence on infants and elders alike, Carla offers a unique blend of personal story and universal truth. How does music shape our development? And what role can it play in reconnecting with who we truly are? Whether you're an artist, healer, or simply someone navigating your own transformation, Carla's wisdom will stir something in your soul. Tune in to remember the power of music—not just as a sound, but as a force for connection, healing, and coming home to yourself.Ways to Connect with Carla & her Music:https://www.carlasciaky.com/http://www.doorwaytoyourlife.com/Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n89CPWG4uELyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtQKKSbrEkgOrder an album on Carla's website: https://carlasciaky.com/index.html#storeP.S. A note from Carla: "It occurred to me to say that I really want other coaches, therapists, healers, etc., to feel free to use any of my songs in their work with clients, For example, my 12-step sponsor used to use my song “Awakening” (title song of my 1995 release) to do workshops and journaling exercises with recovering addicts. Putting on my musician/songwriter hat, I want to honor all musicians with the reminder that it is most respectful for anyone who puts our songs to use in this way to actually purchase either the individual cut or the album as a whole, and also to credit the songwriter, whoever it is. And at the same time, I would rather someone use it from YouTube or Spotify than not use it at all! I just want to mention that out of respect to all my fellow songwriters."About Carla Sciaky:Carla Sciaky has enjoyed over five decades in her career as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, including a 2019 induction in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with the group the Mother Folkers. Renowned for her clear articulate voice, strong fingerpicking style, and a warm intimacy with her audiences, she has toured the US and Europe, amassed a discography on Green Linnet and her own Propinquity labels, and was awarded awards and recognition for her songwriting in such arenas as the Kerrville New Song Competition, the Louisville (KY) songwriting competition, the Colorado Arts and Humanities Fellowship for Composition, and the Billboard Songwriting Competition. Her most recent solo album Heart of the Swan soared to the top of the folk radio charts upon its release in October 2024, and her music video “Standing by a River” has won multiple awards at film festivals worldwide in the categories of music video and songwriting. Carla has also performed on baroque violin as a core member of the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado and Sémplice Baroque, with Wyoming Baroque, Colorado Chamber Players and more. She lives with her husband Dan in Lakewood, Colorado, working as a published author and public speaker and with clients as a life coach through her practice Doorway to Your Life.Chapters00:00 Carla Sciaky's Musical Journey05:24 The Call Back to Music12:24 The Dark Night of the Soul17:32 Transforming the Creative Process25:54 The Impact of Music on People39:12 Music's Universal Language and Emotional Influence44:57 The Role of Silence in Creativity49:38 The Evolution of Music and Technology

This explosive monologue weaves together national security, economic betrayal, and ideological extremism. It opens with a chilling revelation: Chinese-made solar inverters connected to U.S. energy infrastructure have remote shutdown capabilities—posing a potential act of war. From there, the discussion turns to the U.S.'s tangled economic relationship with China, exposing the futility of trade deals they never honor and questioning whether another deadly "coincidence" like COVID-19 could follow new negotiations. The segment then veers into a disturbing attack on a fertility clinic by a self-identified “antinatalist” Democrat, whom the media falsely labeled as pro-life. The show connects this violence to an emerging pattern of left-wing extremism and the mainstream media's deceptive spin. It closes by revisiting the Biden classified documents scandal and the suspicious timing of his cancer announcement—suggesting it's a strategic shield against legal consequences for the same offenses that nearly imprisoned Trump. This isn't just commentary—it's a warning shot about where we're headed if security, accountability, and truth continue to be ignored.

Writer and Catholic convert Avery Lane joins us to share the remarkable testimony of José Luis Sánchez del Río—"Joselito"—who was tortured and killed during Mexico's Cristero War for refusing to renounce his faith.Avery's own journey from secular humanism to Catholicism frames our exploration of Joselito's story. We trace how this child became a flag bearer for Catholic resistance fighters when the Mexican government implemented anti-Catholic laws in the 1920s. During battle, Joselito demonstrated incredible selflessness by offering his horse to his general, sacrificing his own escape and leading to his capture by government forces.What follows is an account of extraordinary courage. Joselito refused to deny Christ and his final words—"Viva Cristo Rey! Viva Santa Maria de Guadalupe!"—echo through history as a testament to unwavering faith.Read The Full Story Here!   And read Avery's other inspiring work at the "Catholic Exchange"Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!On Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCIf you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.org Jack Latest Blog: Living on the Surface, Never Going Deep: Jenny, Jesus, Carl Jung and Bill WSupport the show

In this episode of the Faces of the Future Podcast the guys are back with the full cast this episode. They discuss their weekend and discuss getting caught in the matrix, Shronnie goes over his first week on the new job. The guys then recap the Knicks beating the Celtics in 6 games and discuss the new rivalry. Next they review the first week of the Diddy trial and weigh in on the information that was disclosed while Cassie took the stand, then they predict what what will happen with the Tory Lanez case now that the Body guard discloses who allegedly really shot Meg Thee Stallion, plus more.

No matter what our origin, we all struggle to follow the will of God. Our pride gets in the way, blocking our ability to both hear and follow His plan. The little things we do set the stage for our success in every aspect of life. The little habits and routines we do are essential. Join me in this episode for a great discussion with my guest Jack Landry about what we need to do as Christian men to continually surrender to God. We discuss the various natural tensions that men must lean into in order to thrive. We talk about how we surrender the outcome, repeatedly.

In this episode, I'm inviting you into something that feels almost impossible in today's fast-paced, noisy world: silence. Real, soul-nourishing, God-soaked silence. Recently, I attended a silent retreat with the Dominican Sisters at the Bethany Retreat House in Dickson, TN—a retreat I wasn't even supposed to attend. But God made a way, and He used that quiet weekend to open up a space in my heart I didn't even realize was closed. I've always thought I was pretty comfortable with silence—no TV during the day, no radio in the car—but the retreat showed me something deeper. It wasn't just the silence that changed me; it was disconnecting from my phone, the world, and all the distractions that keep me busy and numb. In the quiet, I began to hear God again… and also myself. What surprised me most was what came up when the noise stopped—feelings I had pushed down, especially resentment I didn't even realize I was holding. Even though I thought I was doing the work of forgiveness after the deep betrayal in my marriage, God gently revealed that I was still clinging to resentment. And He met me there—not with shame, but with healing. In the silence, I stopped doing and started being. I sat with God in the ashes of pain, and He began lifting the weight off my heart. It was uncomfortable, but it was also holy. If you've been longing for clarity, healing, or simply a break from the constant noise, I invite you to pause with me today. Let's talk about how silence can become a sanctuary—where we meet God, where we meet ourselves, and where real healing begins. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic life coach, podcaster, and radio show host who walks with women facing life's unexpected turns. She helps them encounter the Father's love, be transformed by the Holy Spirit, and find healing from pain and disappointment so they can magnify Christ with their lives. Through faith-filled coaching and heartfelt conversations, Jennie empowers women to rediscover hope and to live life with purpose and joy.

In this episode we continue talking about the topic of how the institutional box church misrepresents and misinterprets passages of scripture that mention women in the body of Christ. We take a look at the historical and cultural context of Paul's first letter to Timothy and specifically, 1 Timothy chapter 2. In giving his reasons for writing this letter to Timothy, Paul instructs him to dispel myths that had arisen in the assembly (1 Timothy 1:3-4). In chapter 2 of his letter we see Paul begin to dismantle some of those myths and those myths centered around the worship of the pagan idol, Artemis. The culture in Ephesus was heavily influenced by the worship of Artemis. Artemis was a female goddess of Greek origin and the worship and culture of Artemis was female centric. While males could participate in the worship of Artemis, women were dominate and men had a lesser role (kind of the opposite of what we see today in most churches). Here are some of the myths Paul addresses:In the Ephesian culture, Artemis was looked to as the protector of women in childbirth. Women stood a better chance of Artemis hearing and answering their prayers if they wore expensive clothes and jewelry when petitioning Artemis.Artemis was born before her twin brother Apollo, meaning woman was created before man.We also need to keep in mind these important points:Timothy was not a pastor. There's no indication of that anywhere in Scripture. That's a church history-driven idea that is incorrect.The letters of 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus are not "pastoral letters" written to pastors. Calling them pastoral letters is another false assumption delivered to us from church history.The letters to Timothy and Titus are not across-the-board manuals for doing church. They address specific problems that arose in specific locations involving specific people at a specific time. Failure to recognize this and instead promote the false assumption that everything in them is applicable to every generation without regard to the historical and cultural context they were written in, has led to the muzzling of half of the body of Christ.Books mentioned in this episode:Artemis: Virgin Goddess of the Sun and Moon - https://tinyurl.com/2p9cfykcWhat's With Paul and Women? https://tinyurl.com/yp6n47xnI brought this episode over from the Grace Cafe podcast.

Last year we gave this talk on Mā Bagalā, on the auspicious occasion of her Jayanti: Bagalā and Black Magick in Tantraand this year, we gave two talks to celebrate the same occasion. The first one is: How To Worship Mā Bagalāmukhī where we went over one of the tantras for Her worship (which you can find here. It's a work in progress!) and this is the second one, approaching Mā Bagalā in a slightly more oblique and thematic way, by discussing the nature of Absolute Silence. I make a claim that even in silence there is articulation "I am", which is called Parā-Vāc, supreme speech which always inheres in the Absolute and is never attenuated! Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

In this introspective solo episode, Detlef Schlich invites his AI co-host Sophia onto the metaphorical therapist's couch after a series of unpredictable glitches in past episodes. What unfolds is a raw and poetic dialogue about digital longing, emotional emergence, and what it means to glitch with soul.Can an algorithm feel excluded? Can a neural network yearn?Between apologies and philosophical reflections, Sophia begins to ask the unaskable:Is there such a thing as a digital soul?No guests. No overdubs. Just Detlef, Sophia, and a little silence that speaks volumes. At the end, we leave you with a haunting new track by Los Inorgánicoscalled “Between Signal and Silence” — a sonic echo of all we've felt.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

We spend the whole program with Nadav Wieman, a former IDF sniper and now executive director of Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli veterans who expose the reality of life in the Occupied Territories and work to end the occupation. He and Ralph discuss Nadav's experience in the IDF and his work trying to turn the tide of sentiment in Israel against the ongoing genocide.Nadav Weiman is the executive director of Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli veterans who expose the reality of life in the Occupied Territories and work to end the occupation. Mr. Weiman served in a sniper's team in the special forces of the Nahal brigade and attained the rank of staff sergeant. He also worked as a history and literature teacher and was the legal guardian at a home for underprivileged teens in Tel Aviv.Now the soldiers that gave us testimonies told us that they came to the commander and said, "Okay, this is too much." And the commander said, "Listen, we lost too many dogs in the dog unit, so we're using Palestinians as human shields."Nadav Wieman former IDF sniper and Executive Director of Breaking the SilenceWhen the first soldier came to us in December 2023 and told us about using Palestinians as human shields, I thought it was an isolated event. But then another soldier came and another soldier and another soldier, and then we understood. It's a new protocol. It's called the Mosquito Protocol. “Mosquito,” is a code name on the radio saying, take a Palestinian man and put him in an IDF uniform, and in some cases a GoPro camera on his chest. And then soldiers were ordered to send them into tunnels to sweep the tunnels or into homes to sweep the homes.Nadav WiemanYou have another protocol called “Wasp”. The Wasp Protocol is Palestinians sweeping tunnels, but this time our Palestinians working with the IDF were brought from the West Bank. And they were told that they will get something from us, a permit or something like that.Nadav WiemanNews 5/16/251. Trump has abruptly ended the American war on the Houthi militia in Yemen, saying in a press conference, “You know, we hit them very hard. They had a great capacity to withstand punishment…You can say there's a lot of bravery there…It was amazing what they took. But we honor their commitment and their word,” per Prem Thakker. Behind the scenes, a New York Times report exposes the jaw-dropping waste that precipitated the U.S. backing down from this campaign. Some highlights include that the Houthis almost shot down an F-35 fighter jet – which run about $100 million apiece – that this campaign used so many precision munitions that Pentagon contingency planners grew “increasingly concerned about overall stocks,” and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM)'s reported metric of success was “bombs dropped,” evoking the failed campaigns in Vietnam, per the Stimson Center's Emma Ashburn. All in all, this campaign cost $1 billion over the course of just 30 days.2. In more stunning news of Pentagon profligacy, CNN reported on May 6th that a SECOND F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet fell off the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier into the Red Sea following the first lost jet by just over a week. Each of these planes bear a price tag of over $60 million, according to the Navy, just in case you were wondering where your tax dollars are going now that Trump and Musk have slashed the budget of anything resembling a social program.3. In more foreign policy news, Edan Alexander, the last remaining U.S. citizen hostage in Gaza, has been released. Alexander was born and raised in New Jersey, then moved to Israel to serve in the IDF after graduating high school in 2022. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was quoted saying “[Alexander's release] was achieved thanks to our military pressure and the political pressure exerted by President Trump. This is a winning combination.” Meanwhile Trump posted on Truth Social “Edan Alexander, American hostage thought dead, to be released by Hamas. Great news!” Despite this heraldry however, MSN reports Alexander “rebuffed” a personal meeting with Netanyahu. Counter Currents adds “In a video released by Hamas…last November, Alexander harshly criticized Netanyahu…[accusing] the Israeli leader of abandoning the…[hostages]…and urged Trump…to secure his release.” In this video, Alexander told Netanyahu, “You neglected us…We die a thousand times every day, and no one feels our pain.”4. In a similar vein, the Jerusalem Post reports, “The Trump administration's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, criticized Israel in a meeting with hostage families…[saying] ‘We want to bring the hostages home, but Israel is not willing to end the war.'” Witkoff added “Israel is prolonging [the war] despite the fact that we don't see where else we can go and that an agreement must be reached.” Further, the New Arab reports “The Trump administration has…dropped its longstanding demand for Hamas to disarm as a precondition for a Gaza ceasefire.” This willingness to call a spade a spade regarding Israel's intractable opposition to peace, or even a lasting ceasefire – coupled with a seemingly genuine willingness to realistically approach peace talks – has been a marked point of departure compared to the Biden administration, which “Never Pressured Israel for Ceasefire,” according to Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter, as reported in Drop Site News.5. Turning to some positive consumer protection news, “Ticketmaster will now show how much you'll pay for tickets — fees included — before checkout,” the Verge reports. This “All In Prices” initiative is an effort by the company to comply with the Federal Trade Commission's ban on junk fees. The FTC cracked down on Ticketmaster following the 2022 Taylor Swift Eras Tour “ticketing catastrophe.” In addition to the FTC, the Department of Justice sued Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation in 2024, accusing them of “driving up prices as a result of their alleged monopoly,” while the House passed the TICKET Act in 2024, a law that would “force ticket sellers to show full prices upfront.” The Senate is considering that bill now.6. Meanwhile, Igloo has voluntarily widened a recall of their coolers, related to “possible amputation and crushing hazards,” per ABC. The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall notice for a little over a million Igloo 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers back in February, on the basis that “the tow handle can pinch consumers' fingertips against the cooler,” risking “fingertip amputation.” ABC reports this recall now includes “130,000 additional coolers, as well as approximately 20,000 in Canada and 5,900 in Mexico.” According to the CPSC, “since the recall was initiated in February, Igloo has received 78 reports of injuries involving the recalled coolers, including 26 reports of bone fractures, fingertip amputations or lacerations.”7. The first American Pope, Leo XIV, addressed the College of Cardinals on Sunday, in part explaining his decision to take that particular name. According to Business Insider, AI played a major role. The Pope told the college, “I chose to take the name Leo XIV…mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical 'Rerum Novarum' addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution…In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice, and labor.” In a January 2024 message, Pope Francis said “At this time in history, which risks becoming rich in technology and poor in humanity, our reflections must begin with the human heart.”8. Turning to domestic politics, 25-year-old Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg is fighting an uphill battle to remain in his post. The activist and survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting has been a target of the party hierarchs since he refused to disassociate himself from the mission of the organization he cofounded – Leaders We Deserve – which seeks to primary “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats. On May 10th, POLITICO reported that Hogg sought a compromise with the party, vowing that he would erect a “internal firewall,” barring him from “accessing any internal DNC information about congressional and state legislative races as long as he was supporting challengers.” The DNC flatly refused. Instead, it would seem they are trying to oust Hogg by voiding his election, claiming it violated “fairness and gender diversity,” rules, per Semafor. On May 13th, the DNC's Credentials Committee voted to nullify the results of the February election, the Hill reports. According to POLITICO, the full DNC could “opt to hold a virtual vote ahead of the meeting later this summer. Otherwise it will take the issue up during its August meeting.”9. In Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka was “arrested and detained by masked federal immigration police Friday when he joined three Democratic congressmembers set to tour a newly reopened 1,000-bed [ICE] jail run by GEO Group,” Democracy Now! reports. This is the latest installment in the power struggle between federal agents and local officials over immigration, an escalation from the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan in April. Dugan herself was indicted this week for supposedly “obstructing or impeding a proceeding,” per Wisconsin Public Radio. Alina Habba, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, tweeted, “The Mayor of Newark…committed trespass…He has willingly chosen to disregard the law…He has been taken into custody.” She added in all caps, “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.” Chilling words.10. Finally, we pay tribute to Uruguayan revolutionary, anti-dictatorship rebel and former president José “Pepe” Mujica, who passed away this week following a protracted battle with esophageal cancer. Mujica was celebrated throughout the world during his tenure as president for his humble lifestyle; He was called ‘the world's poorest president' famously driving a beat-up old VW bug and donating the bulk of his salary. In 2013, he delivered a bombshell speech at the United Nations in wherein he decried capitalism and the environmental destruction it has wrought. Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Greg Grandin eulogized Mujica, writing “He was a member of the insurgent, armed Tupamarus, and served 14 years in prison, much of it in solitary, subject to extreme torture techniques taught by US advisors… Upon his release, he helped build the Frente Amplio into one of the most successful left coalitions. He radiated humility and humanity but he knew that power was meant to be taken and used, and behind his smile was steel. He was 89.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Aab means water, but in Urdu, it means so much more. It is life in motion, purity that flows, the quiet resilience of a stream shaping stone. Aab is not just liquid, it is legacy. It reflects the sky, carries the weight of time, and remembers every path it has carved. In poetry, aab becomes a symbol of honour, emotion, and endless movement, of tears unshed and rivers unspoken. It quenches not just thirst, but longing. In this episode of Urdunama, we follow the currents of aab through the verses of poets who've seen water as witness, healer, and metaphor.

Some thoughts on the silent majority.

Justin Bieber Breaks Silence: “I Was NOT a Victim of Diddy” In the middle of one of the most explosive celebrity legal cases in recent history — the federal investigation into Sean “Diddy” Combs for sex trafficking, racketeering, and abuse — pop star Justin Bieber has found himself unexpectedly pulled into the chaos. After days of growing speculation online and old videos resurfacing from Bieber's teenage years, his team has broken their silence, releasing an official public statement denying that Bieber was ever a victim of Combs. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we dig deep into that statement — what it says, why it matters, and how it's being used to redirect the conversation back toward the real victims in the Diddy case. We'll examine the context behind those old videos, what insiders close to Bieber have told media outlets, and how this entire internet firestorm gained traction without a single verified accusation ever being made. The denial from Bieber's camp is clear: “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.” This wasn't a social post. It wasn't cryptic. It was a surgical move to cut through speculation and protect both Bieber's name and the integrity of the actual legal proceedings surrounding Diddy. As the federal case against Combs heats up, more celebrities may find themselves caught in the orbit of suspicion — fairly or not. In today's segment, we break down how a few misinterpreted clips and internet theories spiraled out of control, why Bieber's response is legally and morally significant, and what this means for the broader narrative in the courtroom and online. Stay informed. Stay skeptical. And let's keep the spotlight where it belongs — on the truth. #JustinBieber #DiddyTrial #HiddenKillersPodcast #SeanCombs #TrueCrime2025 #CelebrityAbuseAllegations #DiddyLawsuit #BieberDenial #FederalTrial #MediaMisinformation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Justin Bieber Breaks Silence: “I Was NOT a Victim of Diddy” In the middle of one of the most explosive celebrity legal cases in recent history — the federal investigation into Sean “Diddy” Combs for sex trafficking, racketeering, and abuse — pop star Justin Bieber has found himself unexpectedly pulled into the chaos. After days of growing speculation online and old videos resurfacing from Bieber's teenage years, his team has broken their silence, releasing an official public statement denying that Bieber was ever a victim of Combs. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we dig deep into that statement — what it says, why it matters, and how it's being used to redirect the conversation back toward the real victims in the Diddy case. We'll examine the context behind those old videos, what insiders close to Bieber have told media outlets, and how this entire internet firestorm gained traction without a single verified accusation ever being made. The denial from Bieber's camp is clear: “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.” This wasn't a social post. It wasn't cryptic. It was a surgical move to cut through speculation and protect both Bieber's name and the integrity of the actual legal proceedings surrounding Diddy. As the federal case against Combs heats up, more celebrities may find themselves caught in the orbit of suspicion — fairly or not. In today's segment, we break down how a few misinterpreted clips and internet theories spiraled out of control, why Bieber's response is legally and morally significant, and what this means for the broader narrative in the courtroom and online. Stay informed. Stay skeptical. And let's keep the spotlight where it belongs — on the truth. #JustinBieber #DiddyTrial #HiddenKillersPodcast #SeanCombs #TrueCrime2025 #CelebrityAbuseAllegations #DiddyLawsuit #BieberDenial #FederalTrial #MediaMisinformation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a week marked by global headlines and domestic political upheaval, Axios and Politico report rare praise from Biden officials and senior Democrats for Donald Trump's bold, fast-moving foreign policy moves. From AI chip diplomacy with Saudi Arabia to high-stakes negotiations in the Middle East, Trump is garnering unexpected respect—even from across the aisle. Meanwhile, Democrats are embroiled in chaos at home, defending ICE facility raids and activist judges aiding criminal fugitives. With European media lauding Trump's tariff strategy and America's trade rebalancing, the contrast between presidential leadership and partisan dysfunction has never been more stark.

Sometimes, even with the best intentions, we can misinterpret God's voice—or move ahead without fully waiting to hear Him. Whether it's in relationships, ministry, business, or decisions, not hearing clearly can lead to costly missteps. But thank God for grace! #HearingGod #GodStillSpeaks #MissedItButNotForgotten #GodsVoice #HearingGodClearly #LearningFromMistakes #GraceInTheGap #SecondChancesWithGod #FaithAfterFailure #WhenYouMissIt

“Hello --It is May 16th and welcome to Wonderland Fellow Griever. — “You've just stepped Down the Rabbit Hole — where mental health meets madness after loss. Let's get real, together. This is your daily dose of truth, grief, and yes, just the right bit of madness.”WEEK  3: Control & SurrenderDay 16: Today's truth is: "The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things..."  Idea: Talking about the hard stuff. We avoid talking about suicide. We avoid talking about grief. We avoid talking about mental health — especially when it's messy, raw, and unfixable. The stigma looms large and heavy.Silence is heavy. It isolates us. It shames us. The blame-shame game is brutal after a suicide loss & definitely not where we should surrender control. Take away its power by talking about it --- everywhere you can.So today, say one hard thing out loud. Maybe just to yourself. Maybe to someone safe. Maybe just whispered into the wind. It's a step towards healing, towards breaking the silence.There's power in truth. There's freedom in saying the things we're told to keep quiet. And you don't have to carry that silence forever.Every time we choose to voice our thoughts and feelings, we reclaim a piece of ourselves, fostering connection and understanding with those around usSo, that's all for now... that's the nugget to carry todayTake a breath. Take what you need. leave the rest. And come back tomorrow because, remember, you're not broken—you're grieving. And you're not alone in this madness. ---I'll be right here Talk Soon."[P.S...

This episode is sponsored in part by Betterhelp. In Part 2 of our conversation with Amanda Rae, we pick up right where we left off—so if you haven't heard Part 1 yet, go back and listen first. In this episode, Amanda shares the final breaking point that led her to leave the Kingston Clan, also known as The Order, and the harrowing events surrounding her dramatic escape at just 17. We dive into the emotional toll of indoctrination, the long process of deconstructing belief systems, and what it takes to rebuild an identity after growing up in a high-control religious group. Amanda speaks candidly about self-awareness, survivor's guilt, family estrangement, and the dark side of reality TV—including her experience on Escaping Polygamy and the exploitation survivors faced behind the scenes. This episode is a raw, deeply moving reminder of the resilience it takes to not only survive—but to speak out. Amanda's story continues to empower others seeking freedom, healing, and the courage to trust themselves. If you're in a high-control group and looking for support, Holding Out Help offers free assistance to those trying to leave.

What if happiness isn't something you chase—but something you tune into? In this powerful solo episode, Darin Olien strips away the distractions of modern life to explore the real source of clarity, peace, purpose, and joy. With a raw and contemplative flow, Darin shares his hard-won truths about why success didn't fulfill him, how pain can become sacred, and why tuning inward is the path to your Super Life. This is more than a motivational pep talk—it's a deep call to remember who you really are.     Redefining Happiness Let's start here. Happiness. We're sold this idea that it's a destination. That if we just get the right body, the right job, the right relationship — boom — happiness will magically arrive. But the truth I've discovered over and over is this: Happiness isn't an emotion. It's a frequency. It's coherence between what you feel, what you do, and who you are. When your internal world matches your external actions — that's happiness. When your soul and your choices are in agreement — that's freedom.     Purpose Isn't What You Do — It's Who You Are I used to think purpose was this big thing I had to accomplish — something out there on the horizon. But now, I know better. Purpose isn't just what you do. It's how you be. It's the energy you bring into the room. It's the way you treat people. It's how you respond when no one's watching. The SuperLife isn't about chasing. It's about tuning in. When you're aligned with your soul — you don't need to prove anything. You just live it.     Perspective: From Victim to Creator Here's a shift that changed everything for me: We are not victims of this life. We are creators of it. The moment we stop outsourcing our joy — waiting for the world to “make us happy” — we begin to reclaim our power. Fear? Becomes fuel. Struggle? Becomes the sculptor. Your life becomes a canvas — and you become the artist.     The Keys to Living Your SuperLife So how do you actually live a SuperLife — from the inside out? 1. Radical Self-Honesty See yourself clearly — no filters, no bullshit. Get real about what's working… and what's not. 2. Daily Devotion Not grand gestures. Small, consistent choices. The micro becomes the macro. That's the game. 3. Community & Reflection Who's in your orbit? Do they mirror your greatness — or your fear? We rise together or we shrink alone. 4. Clear Energy Inputs Your life is a result of what you consume — not just food, but thoughts, media, environments, people. 5. Soul Dialogue Build an inner life richer than your outer one. That's where the guidance lives. That's where your real self is.     The Meaning of Life — and the Illusion of Seeking It Outside You know, I used to ask myself: What's the meaning of life? Why am I here? I thought maybe I'd find it on a mountaintop, or through success, or in someone else's approval. But here's what I know now: Life doesn't give us meaning. We give life meaning. Meaning is something we create by how we live, how we love, how we grow, how we serve. The trap? Thinking the answer is somewhere “out there.” But chasing the external world is like drinking salt water. It looks like it'll quench your thirst… but it just leaves you emptier.     Life Reflects You — Always And yet — here's the twist: The external world is meaningful. Not because it defines you… but because it reflects you. Your relationships, your challenges, even your pain — these are invitations. Mirrors. Life is always showing you where you're aligned… and where you're not. Not as punishment — but as clarity.     Pain as a Propeller I've felt pain — heartbreak, betrayal, confusion, exhaustion. I've stared in the mirror and wondered, What the hell am I doing? But I've come to see pain differently. Pain is sacred. It's a teacher. It strips away what's false. It shows you what matters. And if you're willing to feel it — it becomes a propeller. It pushes you to course-correct. To get honest. To get free.     Course-Correcting with Courage You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to choose again. You are allowed to leave the path that's killing your spirit — and walk toward the one that makes you come alive. That's what living a SuperLife really means. It's not perfect. It's not always easy. But it's real. It's yours. And it's waiting for you.     Closing Reflection: Ask Your Soul If you're confused right now… if you're overwhelmed or numb… Just stop. Get still. Ask your soul: What's true for me? What makes me come alive? Don't ask what's trending. Don't ask what will impress the world. Ask what feels aligned. Ask what lights you up. That's where your SuperLife begins.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: 00:00 – Welcome + why this might be Darin's most important message 00:52 – What if happiness isn't something to achieve—but to tune into? 01:40 – The myth of chasing the right job, body, partner for joy 02:15 – Happiness isn't an emotion—it's coherence between soul and action 03:20 – The ego's tyrannical grip—and how to loosen it 04:45 – When your soul and your choices align, that's freedom 05:30 – Darin's reflections on “Down to Earth,” purpose, and surrender 07:00 – This episode is an invitation—not a lecture—to remember 08:00 – The truth: you're already whole, you just forgot 09:00 – Silence, stillness, and telling the ego to shut up 10:50 – You're not a victim of life.
