JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for the latest podcast which drops today March 13!This podcast begins by reminding us that we're not in the waning stages of the monthly lunar cycle that began with the February 17 Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse that asked us to plant seeds that help solidify our humanitarian beliefs & that progressive change should benefit all humans equally.What we got, however, by the February 24 waxing first quarter square of the Gemini Moon to the Pisces Sun, was a growing curiosity & questions about why the ideologues in power have more backwards beliefs about true equality.By the March 3 Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse, our mission was to reveal (& release) all vague, confused & confusing answers to questions seeking facts. Especially since by then the United States had joined Israel to attack Iran on February 28, shortly after the third-quarter waning square of Mars to Uranus on February 27, surprising many. However, by the March 11 third quarter waning square of the Sagittarius Moon to the Pisces Sun, tension grew from asking questions that received no straight or verifiable answers to those focused on the overall strategy & end game for this war.And, as Jupiter stationed direct at 15'05” Cancer on March 12, the energy shifts to where we stand—both personally & collectively—in terms of morals & ethics. Retrograde since last November, Jupiter tasked us to go deep about whether we've been following our heart & souls' true knowledge about what is ethical & moral, or whether we've simply acquiesced to the beliefs of those in power.VENUS IN ARIES, JUPITER DIRECT: MORAL JUSTICE FOR SEX TRAFFICKED RAPE VICTIMSMeanwhile, as more Epstein documents continue to be released, since VE entered war god Mars-ruled Aries on March 6, & as it waxed toward a sextile to PL in AQ March 9/10 there was this from the NYT March 9: “Alexander Brothers Found Guilty of All Counts in Sex-Trafficking Trial The verdict comes more than a month after the trial began in Federal District Court in Manhattan where the jury heard weeks of emotional and often graphic testimony.“Three brothers, including two who were among the country's most prominent real estate brokers, were convicted in Manhattan on Monday of engaging in a yearslong conspiracy to traffic women and girls for sex.“The brothers — Tal and Oren Alexander, who regularly closed multimillion-dollar real estate deals in New York and elsewhere, and Alon Alexander, a security executive — were found guilty on every count they each faced, and could now all face life in prison when they are sentenced on Aug. 6.The verdict comes more than a month after the trial began in Federal District Court in Manhattan, where the jury heard weeks of emotional and often graphic testimony from 11 women who had accused the Alexander brothers of rape or sexual assault. Jurors deliberated for 21 hours. In some cases, the brothers — Tal, 39, and Oren and Alon, twins who are 38 — used drugs to incapacitate their victims before raping them.” We might hope that this is a bellwether for the Epstein scandal & that it's the beginning verdicts that help quench the thirst of those seeking long deprived justice for sexual abuse via international sex trafficking crimes. And that Venus in Aries will ultimately succeed in her her fight to restore the natural order of reverence for feminist anima as sacred.MERCURY RETROGRADE'S BLASTS FROM THE PASTThis podcast also delves into the reemergence of people & events from the past rearing their heads again today. Hmm, speaking of sexual abuse, might this recent verdict be a bellwether for the Epstein case as we learn that FBI is now investigating his sprawling Albuquerque, New Mexico, “Zorro Ranch” property,” which it neglected (or bothered) to search back when. A little Mercury retrograde action again, since the FBI knew about this property a long while back…Next, of course, is the Iran attack redux since both Israel & the U.S. claimed to have obliterated this nation's nuclear capabilities after their attacks back in June of 2025. Oops, maybe not…maybe it's during Mercury's retrograde in Pisces we were able to learn we were lied to, eh? Especially when we remember that Mercury's Hermes is known as “the trickster” in Greek mythology, there's the outdated intelligence used by Defense Department to target what it thought was an Iranian military structure that turned out to be a girls school.U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says, according to the NYTs on March 11: “Outdated targeting data may have resulted in a mistaken missile strike, according to the ongoing military investigation, which undercuts President Trump's assertion that Iran could be to blame…"...Striking a school full of children is sure to be recorded as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades. Iranian officials have said the death toll was at least 175 people, most of them children.” And of course answers from the U.S. Government to direct questions have been muddled & vague. Since Mercury is related to communication, we also have the reemergence of names like Kari Lake-- remember her? She's the right wing former candidate for Arizona Governor who Donald Trump last year appointed as the head of Voice of America, the international broadcast arm of the U.S. Government.There was this from AP on March 8: “Judge Voids Mass Layoffs at Voice of America…Federal judge rules Trump Administration's action to dismantle Voice of America are illegal. The ruling, which said that Kari Lake's appointment to oversee V.O.A.'s parent agency was invalid, was a major rejection of President Trump's attempts to dismantle the government-funded news group.”WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE, NOR ANY DROP TO DRINKNext, we have the ongoing fall out of the attacks on Iranian infrastructure which seem to align with the recently begun Saturn/Neptune cycle in Aries. Numerous events, including the attacks on Iranian desalination planets, & Iranian retaliation toward nearby Gulf states have resulted thus far in destroying the ability of millions to access clean drinking water.According to the New York Times “…desalination plants in Iran and Bahrain were struck during the escalating conflict, with Iran accusing the U.S. of hitting a facility on Qeshm Island [the largest island in the Persian Gulf] that supplies water to about 30 villages, while Bahrain blamed an Iranian drone for damaging a plant there. “Analysts warned that attacking desalination infrastructure — a primary source of drinking water for millions in the Gulf — marks a serious escalation that could threaten civilian survival and broaden the war's impact beyond military targets.”Never mind the fact that this war has caused the Iranians to close their side of the Straits of Hormuz (Saturn=boundaries; Neptune=water, Aries=action), through which 20% of the world's oil transits. And that the rest of the world struggles to make up for this shortfall by releasing strategic petroleum preserves to tamp down the rise in oil prices, which may see oil rise to upwards of $200 per barrel, as per some experts estimates.And, of course there's the fact that bombing Iran has resulted in setting back the cause of preventing future damaging climate change for who knows how long, but at least decades, according to experts.PISCES NEW MOON: PLANT SEEDS OF GREATER EMPATHY FOR REAL VICTIMSAs we head toward the March 18 Pisces New Moon, which brings both luminaries together at 28'27” PI at 1:20 pm PT & 4:20 pm ET, they are also waxing toward conjunctions with Neptune at 1'42” Aries & Saturn @3'56”, as they begin to separate from now. This podcast delves into more about this lunation, & how by the time it arrives we'll also have the exact conjunction of wounded healer Chiron to chaos-inducer dwarf planet Eris. That's in addition to the March 15 conjunction of Mar & Mercury retrograde in Pisces.The Pisces New Moon chart for Washington, D.C., places the Chiron/Eris conjunction in the 7th House of partnership & partile opposite the Libra Ascendant & transiting Part of Fortune. It seems clear, imo, that America's lack of empathy for those who its actions have killed, maimed, or whose security it has destroyed--& the ensuring pain & chaos it has caused, will not be looked upon kindly by the rest of the world, either friend or foe.Learn more about the current & future Astro News You Can Use @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking when this latest podcast drops today March 13! We look also at the Pisces New Moon's square of Venus to Uranus, its position in Donald Trump's chart & how it depicts impulsive decisions that spark trouble for our partnerships. And how, by the time we reach the April 1 Libra Full Moon, we'll be asked to release the Aries Sun's shadow side of going it alone, partnership be damned…See you later! Namaste…
El Al has been getting a lot of heat lately. Canceled flights, no callbacks, passengers feeling abandoned. Our community sent in hundreds of questions and I sat down with Alon Lavi, El Al's head of customer experience, to get real answers. He's answering from a bomb shelter. That tells you everything about what they're dealing with. We cover why flights are leaving half empty, how they're deciding who gets rebooked, the pricing controversy, and what they're doing to fix their customer service.
TRIGGER WARNING: Detailed allegations of sexual abuse and sadistic assault against women, girls, and children. On March 5, 2026, the DOJ released 1,000 more pages of Epstein files that included three FBI interviews detailing allegations of sexual and physical abuse of a child by the current President. This pod reviews those three FBI interviews and compares them to other allegations we've already covered. Also, during this recording, news hit that the Alexander brothers were found guilty on all charges, including sex trafficking. Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander had been named in an online FBI Tip Line submission form that also included allegations involving U.S. Presidents Clinton and Trump. In light of the Alexander brothers conviction, we revisit that FBI Tip and its inclusion of a threat mentioning girls buried on a Trump golf course.Check your voter registration, find your polling location, or contact your representatives via USA.GOV, VOTE.GOV, and/or the "5 Calls" app. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

In today's Update Journal, we revisit the cinematic nightmare that united an entire generation: the THX sound. Not the movie. Not the trailers. Just the sound. That deep, metallic “BWAAAAAAAAAA” that shook theater walls, rattled your bones, and made every kid in the audience think the speakers were about to explode. For many of us, it was our first experience with surround sound… and mild emotional trauma.Then we move to The Weakest Link, where a contestant commits what can only be described as a breakfast felony—confusing butterscotch Munchkins and a strawberry Coolatta with Starbucks. Starbucks! That's like walking into Yankee Stadium and asking where the Mets bullpen is. Somewhere, a Dunkin' employee felt a disturbance in the force.And finally, in today's honorable mention, Harry Styles reveals his chaotic “boy dinner” habit—basically a collection of random food items that looks less like a meal and more like what you'd eat at 11:45 p.m. while staring into the fridge with the light on. Naturally, a fast-food chain saw this and said, “Perfect. Let's monetize that.” Because nothing says culinary innovation quite like a celebrity's questionable late-night eating decisions.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, investigators are trying to learn more about two Pennsylvania men accused of bringing homemade bombs to a protest outside the home of Mayor Mamdani.Luxury real estate agents Tal and Oren Alexander and their brother Alon were convicted of sex trafficking for using their vast wealth to drug and rape numerous women they lured into their twisted orbit.And overseas, the widening Iran war has upended oil production and shipping across the Middle East, straining energy supplies worldwide.
Former luxury real estate brokers and their brother have been convicted of 10 criminal counts including sex trafficking. 11 women testified against Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander, saying they were drugged and raped by one or more of the brothers. Prosecutors claimed 60 women came forward with similar stories of luxury trips to Aspen and the Hamptons that turned into nightmares, some of the victims minors at the time. The brothers are now facing life in prison for their crimes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Somewhere between a 1940s household manual telling wives to always smile and never contradict their husbands, a completely unnecessary on-air confession about childhood cartoon crushes, and the simple fact that we somehow survived weather that felt like living inside a freezer, today's Update Journal went in… several directions.We examine the baffling rules of post-war marriage advice (spoiler: if you tried that today, someone would absolutely get punched), I make an administrative admission that probably should have stayed off the record, and we close things out celebrating the small miracle that we all made it through the tundra outside.In other words: history, humiliation, and hypothermia — all in one episode.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, a 4-year-old Brooklyn boy who dashed away from his mom was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver, just steps away from a local hospital, police and sources said.A jury in Manhattan federal court started deliberating in a case that could put twins Oren and Alon, 38, and Tal, 39, in prison for the rest of their lives.And in Washington, President Trump fired his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, after mounting criticism over her leadership of the department, including the handling of the administration's immigration crackdown and disaster response.

Today's guest is Hafza Girdap, Spokesperson for Advocates of Silenced Turkey and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology, Criminology and Anthropology at Hofstra University. In this episode, Alon and Hafza discuss the ten years since the attempted coup in Turkey in 2016, the countless human rights violations committed by the Erdogan government since then, and the status of women's rights and minority rights in Turkey. Full bio Hafza Girdap is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology, Criminology and Anthropology at Hofstra University and the Spokesperson for Advocates of Silenced Turkey (AST). She holds a Ph.D. in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Stony Brook University, New York. Her research focuses on gender, race, immigration, racialization and identity, human and women's rights in Muslim-majority contexts, and the integration and adaptation of Muslim immigrant women, with particular attention to the redefinition of their cultural identities. Beyond her academic work, Girdap is the director of the Gender Program at the European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS) and the co-founder of Set Them Free, a gender-based advocacy initiative. She is also the first elected Chair of the Muslim+ Feminists Caucus within the National Women's Studies Association (NWSA), where she currently serves as Co-Chair, and a member of the Sister-to-Sister Committee of Sociologists for Women in Society (SWS).

By framing reidentification as a form of agency, her work not only highlights the complexities of identity negotiation but also challenges epistemic dominance by contributing to alternative modes of knowledge production. Girdap has also expanded her work in women's rights advocacy. Over the past seven years, she has organized and spoken at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW) panels, focusing on the experiences and needs of women.

Today's guest is Yaakov Katz, a journalist, author, and senior fellow at the Jewish People Policy Institute. His newest book, co-authored with Amir Bohbot, is While Israel Slept – How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East. In this episode, Alon and Yaakov discuss Trump's 20-point peace plan for Gaza and the “Trump factor” that has emerged in the peacemaking process; the need for a political, not just military, process in finding an end to the Gaza war and ultimately the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; how to bring both peoples back toward a mindset where peace could be possible; and the lack of leadership on both sides in being willing to make concessions to make real change possible. Full bio Yaakov Katz is an author, a senior fellow at the Jewish People Policy Institute & the co-founder of MEAD, the premier Middle East-America policy forum. Between 2016 and 2023, Yaakov was editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post where he continues to serve as a columnist.

The federal sex crimes trial of Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander is underway in New York City. Prosecutors accuse the real estate and security moguls of sex trafficking, drugging, and raping multiple women and girls. The defense has countered that the brothers are just womanizers, not criminals, and that all sex was consensual. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber sat down with former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg to break down the stunning allegations, the explosive opening statements, and the key witness testimony in this high-stakes case.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW: Check out Particle's Face Cream here: https://particleformen.co/sidebar and use my code SIDEBAR20 for a 20% discount sitewide.HOST:Jesse Weber: https://twitter.com/jessecordweberLAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokeVideo Editing - Michael Deininger, Christina O'Shea, Alex Ciccarone, & Jay CruzScript Writing & Producing - Savannah Williamson & Juliana BattagliaGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSocial Media Management - Vanessa BeinSTAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3yWhere To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletterRead Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2IqoLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrimeTwitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In a shocking twist to one of the year's most closely watched legal battles, Kate Whiteman — the first woman to legally accuse the Alexander brothers of SA — has been found dead in Australia just weeks before the high-stakes federal trial is set to begin. Authorities in New South Wales have ruled her death “non-suspicious,” but the timing has reignited nationwide media attention and public scrutiny. Whiteman's lawsuit, filed in March 2024, was the catalyst for dozens of additional claims from women across New York, Florida, California and beyond, accusing the wealthy real estate siblings of drugging, coercing and assaulting them over more than a decade. Now, as jury selection opens this month in Manhattan, prosecutors are moving forward with some of the most serious federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges seen in years — charges that could put the Alexander brothers behind bars for life. The Alexander brothers — Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander — are accused in a sweeping federal indictment that alleges a long-running scheme to exploit women using their wealth, influence and luxury lifestyle.Support the show & be a part of #STSNation:Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Let help uncork your memoir through a 12 week memoir mentorship program: https://mikecarlon.com/memoir-cohorts/ “I love having written more than I love writing. The process is work, but the result is joy.” — Rabbi Alon Ferency In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Mike sits down with Rabbi Alon Ferency to explore the intersection of spirituality and creativity. From the challenges of writing to the vulnerability inherent in art-making, Rabbi Ferency shares insights on mindfulness, moral imagination, and why editing might just be the most sacred part of the creative process. Whether you're a writer, artist, or simply curious about the creative life, this conversation offers wisdom, humor, and a fresh perspective on finding meaning through art. Key Takeaways: The paradox of writing: Rabbi Alon loves “having written” more than the act of writing itself—and that's okay. Flow state isn't universal: For some, creativity feels like therapy; for others, it's structured work rather than spontaneous inspiration. Vulnerability is essential: Great art often requires exposing your scars, not your wounds, to create authentic connection. Spirituality and creativity intersect: Ancient wisdom, like the Talmud's “words from the heart enter the heart,” still informs modern art-making. Editing is sacred: Ferency argues that editing—whether in writing, music, or visual art—is where true artistry emerges. The artist's sensitivity: Creative people often wrestle with heightened sensitivity, which can be both a gift and a challenge. Coaching artists: Ferency's mission is to help artists align their work with their deepest values, offering spiritual and psychological support.

In this episode Ecotextile Talks host Philip Berman speaks with ThredUp's Chief Strategy Officer Alon Rotem about the company's "resale as a service" model, from white-lable branded resale shops to multi-brand clean-out schemes that can turn underused wardrobes into store credit.
