The Fitzgerald Theater was filled to the rafters Wednesday night for the season launch of Talking Volumes. Activist and novelist Stacey Abrams joined Kerri Miller on stage and began the evening with a moment of silence to mark the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, who had been shot and killed only hours earlier. Abrams, herself a national political figure, said dark moments such as these need to be met with determined unity — to stand for and with one another. She got those values from her parents, she said, who always emphasized the need to be in church, in school and in service to others. She also reflected on how failure has worked in her life as a catalyst for growth and how books have led her to develop a deep moral consciousness. It's no surprise to readers who love her novels — including “Coded Justice,” the latest thriller in the Avery Keene series, which finds Avery relying on her friends to investigate the morally murky world of AI-powered medicine. Abram's books are filled with memorable characters who exhibit the same kind of determination and hope that Abram's embodies. Don't miss Abram's warm and inspiring conversation with Kerri Miller, rounded out by the musical styles of Minneapolis' own Lady Midnight, as the 2025 Talking Volumes season begins.And get your tickets for future shows, which include Patricia Lockwood on Sept. 25, Misty Copeland on Sept. 28, John Grisham on Oct. 23 and Kate Baer on Nov. 17.

Friend of the Pod Malcom Kyeyune is back, and he's got that late empire feeling. After the Chinese Military staged an extraordinary parade in Beijing, Washington is worried. The top dog question has resurfaced. In the same week, Elbridge Colby released a new strategic document effectively telling Washington it needs to be far more selective in military affairs. After they spent a quarter of their entire interceptor missile stocks shoring up Israel, and with the Abrams tanks proving ineffectively heavy in Ukraine, US procurement is looking shoddy in a way it never has before. No wonder Colby increasingly senses the Taiwan question must be gently settled. As Malcom puts it: “Times were when the US could just pick up a small country and smack it against a wall in order to show who's boss.” Are recent manoeuvres off the Venezuelan coast a last gasp of smack-it-against-the-wall hegemonic diplomacy?In this typically ranging hour long special, The Lads look into the abyss called Kyeyune – and he stares back.

Stacey Abrams is a renowned political leader, lawyer, author, and advocate for equity and justice. Known for her relentless work supporting voting rights and addressing poverty and inequality, Stacey is also an acclaimed writer of legal thrillers, including her latest work, Coded Justice, which explores the ethical dilemmas surrounding AI in the legal system. With roots in the Deep South, Abrams credits her family and upbringing for inspiring her commitment to social change and her ability to translate complex issues into relatable action. Beyond politics and books, she is a powerful speaker and founder of several organizations advocating for inclusion and systemic reform. Takeaways: Power is Borrowed, Not Owned: Stacey discusses the idea that positions of authority are ultimately “borrowed power,” and true impact comes from influence, not titles. AI & Justice: Her novel Coded Justice highlights both the potential and the danger of integrating AI in the legal system, urging that technology must always operate within ethical guardrails. Leadership is Responsibility, Not Permission: Abrams emphasizes that leadership means taking responsibility and acting even without formal authority—championing the idea of being a “professional troublemaker” for good. Sound Bites: “Poverty is immoral. It is economically inefficient, and it is solvable… For me, it is a call to action.” – Stacey Abrams “You don't have to be given the authority to act, to have the responsibility of action. And that's leadership.” – Stacey Abrams “AI is a tool that can be used to build or a tool that can be used to destroy, but it's just a tool. It's up to the humans who are wielding it.” – Stacey Abrams Connect & Discover Stacey: Website: https://www.staceyabrams.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/staceyabrams Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StaceyAbramsGA# YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPjnB2FdBAvJp2fKOGzJHww X: https://x.com/staceyabrams Book: Coded Justice: A Thriller

Lydia “Dia” Abrams was a wealthy and glamorous 65-year-old widow living on a beautiful 117-acre ranch in the idyllic mountain town of Idyllwild, California. From the outside looking in, she seemed to have it all. But on June 6, 2020, after eating lunch with her fiancé Keith Harper, she disappeared without a trace. Her purse, cell phone, pick-up truck, and her dog Ruby, whom she loved so much, were left behind. More than five years later, even after a lengthy police investigation, Dia's disappearance remains unsolved, and she has never been seen again. This is the story of Dia Abrams. When Dia went missing, she was described as being 5'6” tall, 135 pounds, with blue eyes and blond hair. She had a surgical scar on her abdomen and a scar on her lower back extending from hip to hip. Her ears are pierced. She was last seen wearing a yellow shirt, blue jeans, and a black/turquoise windbreaker jacket. She was wearing four rings on her right hand. Anyone with information about Dia's disappearance is asked to contact the Riverside County Sheriff's Office at 951-791-3400. There is a $300,000 reward for any information that leads to solving this crime.

This is part of a series on Billionaire Pedophiles. Robert MillerCanadian Billionaire Robert Miller was a cross between Peter Nygard and Jeffrey Epstein. Like Epstein he knew both Les Wexner and the Bronfman crime family. Robert Miller is a wealthy pedophile, he amassed billions of dollar with his company Future Electronics which was sold last year to Taiwan for 3.8Bn. Whet exactly did he do? This disgusting predator arranged to have threesomes with high school girls or younger. His first victim starting 1982 was just 11 years old. Robert always had unprotected sex. His system evolved over time. At first he would pay a pimp, Raymond Poulet to act as his middle man and recruit young girls. They would bring them to a hotel usually the Intercontinental Hotel a luxury hotel in Montreal, or the Queen Elizabeth hotel. Once at the hotel they would be wine and dined then Poulet would pass them off to Miller who was only known to the girls as Bob. Also working for Miller via Future Electronics, was Sam Joseph Abrams. Sam Abrams was a kind of extra-curricular activities secretary and thus worked closely with Poulet. The girls only knew him as Joseph. A nother man actig in this role was Helmut Lippmann, who like Abrams, was labeled a Vice President at Future Electronics.Miller would instruct them to take a bath, usually he would undress and join them washing them himself and engaging in foreplay. From there he would move things into the bed room where he had unprotected sex and or used sex toys. Whenever possible there would be two girls. Similar to Epstein he paid his victims albeit a much higher rate of 1500 Canadian. If they pulled out before sex he might give them $700. The craziest thing is no one told the hotel staff or police. Or if they did it never went anywhere. Three individuals are most responsible for eventually bringing down Miller's network. John Weslake a former cop turned P.I. Donna Loupret the director of security at the Intercontinental Hotel and Robert's Miller's Ex-Wife. It was his Ex-Wife who first tipped off Westlake. Donna Loupret noticed the odd behavior of Robert Miller. He always rented the same room on the 25th floor, room 2520. He had it renovated on his own dime. He demanded they install a large tub in the bathroom and they did. It was called the F**k-Tub. He would only come in the day and never stay the night. Also the hotel was just a 15 minute drive from where he lived. Then there were the girls who looked about 14 to 16 year old that were always in and out of his room. Now they didn't enter with him or leave with him, but they were going to the 25th floor, always while he was there. He targeted small girls with dark hair.Increasingly, Miller would rely less on the pimp and more on gettnig the girls to recruit other girls and like Epstein he offered them a bonus to do so. I am happy to report that Raymond Poulet was arrested July 2025. After Donna questioned Miller once on the phone, Miller moved his operations into a more controlled environment. He bought two houses across the street from one another. His own home where he lived he purchased from Charles Bronfman the co-founder of Birthright Israel and chairman of the UJC and co-chair of Seagrams Liquor which got its start via organized crime selling alcohol labeled as “medicine” to get around prohibition laws. He and his brother made a tender offer via Seagrams, to Saint Joe's Mineral corporation. “Court papers identified the three Panamanian corporations as Transatlantic Financial Company S.A., Nayarit Investments S.A. and Finvest Panama. They were named by the bank as having purchased 1,055 stock options in St. Joe on March 10, a day before the Seagram bid for the company. The bank also named Finvest Geneva as having purchased 3,000 shares of St. Joe the day of the merger announcement. The S.E.C. said that Mr. Tome had placed both orders through the Swiss bank.” Also capitalizing on insider trading was Warren Eisenstein who was give a loan to buy the stock by his childhood friend, then working at Bear Sterns, Jeffrey Epstein.Charles Bronfman's neices Clare and Sara pumped in $100,000, 000 in to a sex cult run by Keith Raniere. It was so debaucherous that thye were branding women the way one brands a cow witha hot poker. And of course the Bronfman's are hardore Zionists and helped finance other close associates of Epstein like Ehud Barak. This is a constant thing with these people. More on Epstein hereFormer cop, John Westlake and his partner set up surveillance via a stake out, on Robert Miller and were shocked by what they saw. For 21 days, they observed a parade of young girls going in and out of the house at 380 Olivier Ave. in Westmount, often exiting with hockey bags.What was going on? Well Miller would have the girls brought usually by taxi to house that he had prepared. In the basement the would be clothing from Victoria Secret, CDs Jewlery and other goodies a young girl might fancy. They were allowed to fill up one hockey bag full of products as much as they could carry. Upstaires they would be given a bath and sometimes told to shave. After sex or being assaulted with sex toys, the girls would be given an evelope with $1500 to $4000. Miller had them color coded with little stamps, Gold, Orange, Purple, that colorlated with the money inside. A judge ordered these a pretrial seizure of these two houses from Miller in November of 2024.Westlake and his partner were approached by Miller's goons. Working for “National Criminal Investigation Service” which was just a Miller security company, Terence Corcoran and an ex-police officer named Stephen Roberts approached Westlake asking him to tell them what he knew. Next they tried to buy him off, offering $300k to give them what he had and to back off the case. With Helmut Lippmann, Sam Joseph Abrams, Raymond Poulet, Stephen Roberts, and Terence Corcoran all working and covering up for Robert Miller what we have here is a conspiracy.Think about this. A billionaire after createing a custom renovated hotel room, purchased homes and used employees including an ex-cop and a pimp, to target teenagers and adolesants for sexual exploitation. All these men acted together for years, over a decade, to systematically target girls for child prostitution.There was no blackmail. There was no spying. These were just sick f***s who did this because this is what these people are into. Rather than taking the brine Westlake went to the police. But it was Radio Canada not the cops that uncovered that Miller posed as an American businessman named “Bob Adams” who just fequently visited Montreal. It took pressure form the media to get any movement on this case. The police would raide Future Electronics and had a warrant (which is sealed) to target NCIS, National Criminal Investigation Service, which had its office on the Future Electronics property. How much bigger was this operation really? We probably are not going to ever know. Miller now 83 has Parkingson's disease. I hate to cheer for parkinson's disease but at least that serves as SOME type of punishment for for serial raping little kids for decades. Like Nygard, his punishment comes only at the end with Miller in his 80s, after engaging in a lifetime of rape.There is a class action lawsuit with 50 plantiffs and other lawsuits again Miller and his co-conspirators. Smoe have been tossed because Miller is too sick(rich) to endure them. But how does this happen? how in the world would hotel employees not pick up on what was going on immediately? Why were the police so slow to act? It is quite similar to what Nygard was doing in Winnipeg around the same time.We will be going over that case and more in this series on Billionaire Pedophiles. I want to stress this that what Epstein was doing was entering a pre-existing nexus of rich perverts. He did not groom or create the Johns. He provided for a market that already had an large appitite for child abuse and prostitution. This is a cultural problem. Of course people use blackmail and bribery. In this climate where women and men (as you will see in the Mike Jefferies case) are seen commercial sex products, it is easy. Consider signing up it is only $6 and some of these will be paywalled. It is not something I want to do to but I have to. If you are in media and want to do an interview on Miller, Epstein or any of these subjects, contact me through substack. This is a public episode.
