Never has so much been misunderstood by so many. This episode pulls back the curtain on two explosive fronts unfolding at the same time: Trump's legally executed energy strategy in Venezuela—and the domestic chaos erupting as massive fraud networks, media narratives, and political pressure collide here at home. This isn't a war with Venezuela. It's sanctions enforcement, court orders, and oil leverage—executed with precision. As Venezuelan oil exports grind to a halt and China's energy supply tightens, political prisoners are suddenly released and power dynamics shift overnight. Meanwhile, back in Minnesota, the same political forces screaming about “justice” are accused of shielding corruption, distorting evidence, and targeting federal agents—while hundreds of millions of dollars in suspicious cash flow quietly moves through U.S. airports. Energy. Money. Power. Narrative control. This is what the fight is really about.
What happens when video evidence says one thing—and political officials say the opposite? This episode dissects the shocking incident in Minneapolis where an ICE agent was struck by a vehicle and sent flying—only to have state officials and media allies frame it as an act of “neighborliness.” Slowed-down video, past attacks on the same agent, and a growing pattern of vehicle rammings against federal officers tell a far darker story. But the violence is only the surface. Beneath it lies a massive financial operation: hundreds of millions of dollars in cash moved through Minneapolis airport, ignored for years, flagged by TSA, and allegedly routed overseas—while federal agents enforcing the law are demonized, targeted, and attacked. From political rhetoric to guerrilla-style intimidation tactics, this episode connects the dots between street-level chaos, narrative manipulation, and the money that may be fueling it all.
Every pastor has seen it. Churches splitting hairs over things that don't matter. Beard length. Carpet color. Playground equipment. These disputes may sound absurd, but they reveal something much deeper. Small conflicts are rarely about what they seem. Beneath the surface, emotions, control, and trust are at play. In this episode, Josh and Sam explore why trivial fights erupt in churches, what they reveal about church health, and how leaders can keep the small stuff from becoming spiritual landmines. The post Church Conflict: Five Common Ways Small Fights Turn into Big Problems appeared first on Church Answers.
Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
High performers often fear peace will cost them their edge. In this episode, Julie Holly reframes wholeness as a strategic advantage — showing how identity coherence increases clarity, execution, and sustainable effectiveness.What if wholeness didn't slow you down — but actually made you more effective?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly addresses the quiet resistance many high-capacity humans feel when the conversation turns toward peace, integration, or inner alignment. Beneath performance pressure and decision fatigue is often an unspoken fear:If I stop fragmenting myself… will I lose what's made me effective?This episode dismantles that fear and reframes wholeness as a strategic upgrade — not a personal softening.In this episode, you'll explore:Why performance pressure often comes from identity fragmentation, not workloadHow role confusion and constant self-management quietly drain energyThe hidden cost of success without fulfillmentWhy fragmentation is inefficient — even when it looks like strengthHow peace reduces internal friction and sharpens executionWhy effectiveness improves when identity becomes coherentPsychology + Nervous System InsightJulie draws on psychology and nervous system integration to explain:How identity-based motivation becomes cleaner when you're one person across rolesWhy internal division increases cognitive, emotional, and identity loadHow wholeness removes background effort — freeing capacity without disengagingThis is not burnout caused by failure.It's fatigue caused by misalignment.A Living Example of Integrated ExcellenceJulie points to Denzel Washington as an example of drive without internal division. His presence demonstrates:Authority without tensionIntensity without urgencyExcellence sustained by coherence, not pressureIf you've been successful but tired…If achievement feels heavier than you expected…If you sense peace might actually sharpen your edge…This episode offers clarity, permission, and a grounded path forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhere does fragmentation cost me more energy than the task itself?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

The Sorrel-Weed House is one of the most haunted locations in Savannah, but the real story isn't the one told on ghost tours. Beneath the legends of suicides, shadow figures, and restless spirits lies a much darker history tied to war, displacement, and land soaked in blood.

Beneath the Surface, Pride: Chris Dolson | January 4, 2026
Today on the Grave Talks, we step behind the iron bars of one of California's most haunted jails with Amy Davis of Gothic Paranormal. Based in Jackson, California—a Gold Rush town rich in ghostly history—Amy has spent countless nights investigating the Old Amador County Courthouse and Jail. She has spent years exploring this historic site, uncovering its layered history and paranormal secrets. Beneath its polished Art Deco exterior lies the original 1860s brick structure—a remnant of Jackson's wild frontier days, when justice was swift and not everyone who entered those jail cells ever truly left. From phantom footsteps and unexplained whispers to one particularly active spirit known as Sammy, the courthouse remains a hub of supernatural energy. Today on The Grave Talks, we explore Jackson's haunted past and the ghosts that refuse to fade away. For more information on ghost tours and investigations, visit restoreamador.com.

Send us a text"In the Christmas story, God slips through a birth canal underneath the empire. This star child is born in a borrowed room and takes his first rest in a feeding trough. God chooses vulnerability over visibility and humility over dominance. Christmas helps us to know who God is through God's choices. The child we say we love tonight but are afraid to love too much is born on the underside of history. No status, no security. So if you're looking for God, you can always find God where the world least expects God to be. So if we're only watching the Empire's headlines, we may be missing the holy things that are being born right in front of us. Christmas is God's graceful and gentle refusal of the Empire's terms and methods. In God's Christmas story, domination is overthrown by incarnation and love."Excerpt from Bishop Wright's Christmas Sermon "Born Beneath the Headlines"Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

There are so many bittersweet flavors to our emotional landscape: our grief intermingled with relief, the tears of compassion when those who have hurt us express their regrets, the push and pull between our inner and outer worlds, the existential ache of not finding full expression in any world, the relief at expressing who we are aloud only to discover that we still only belong to ourselves, the lonely costs of success, the recognition that what was broken in our lifetime may not be made whole for hundreds more years, and a thousand more inner contradictions. Yosef's story is the story of a dreamer whose dreams came true. But even stories with the happiest endings come with an underlying ache. As we close Yosef's story in this week's Parsha, we analyze Yosef's emotional world through the astounding record of Yosef's tears, a central character in the Torah who is plainly recorded in verse after verse as weeping: sometimes in private, sometimes in public, sometimes so loudly that the entire land can hear. How do we make meaning of these tears? What story do they tell us about Yosef's experience of his life's triumphs and hardships, of the inner, emotional world that beat beneath this powerful figure, who rose from the pit to find astounding success as viceroy in Egypt, and as he released his restraint on his buried identity, expressed an emotional landscape that echoes the complexity of each of our own inner worlds?* * * * * * *To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

Message us here!Well, 2025 is almost over and by all accounts, it was one of the hardest for mental health across America. The past year felt like emotional sandpaper: unstable jobs, AI anxiety, and a constant stream of obligations that made even simple days feel crowded. Beneath all that noise, a quieter force did much of the damage: loneliness. In this episode, Dr. Kibby unpacks why January often hits hardest after the holidays, why being surrounded by people can still feel empty, and how one-way relationships quietly burn us out.Dr. Kibby discusses a candid look at over-giving, how being so focused on other people can lead to a sneaky sense of loneliness. She breaks loneliness into three solvable parts: 1. Building real emotional support, 2. Being seen for who we really are, and 3. Restoring reciprocity so care flows both ways. She also talks about finding community where you might not expect it. If your local circle doesn't yet hold the parts of you that crave air, that's a bridge, not a dead end. The goal isn't more social plans; it's richer resonance. By focusing on one small habit each week (one ask, one honest share, one reciprocal ritual) you can turn the quiet of January into a reset for connection.Happy new year, Little Helpers.

Send us a textIn this deeply immersive Literary Aviatrix Classics conversation Dr. Jacque Boyd, Captain Jenny Beatty and I discuss Wings for Life, the extraordinary memoir of pioneering aviatrix Ruth Nichols.Nichols' life reads like myth—altitude, speed, and distance records; repeated catastrophic crashes; unrelenting physical pain; and a relentless return to the cockpit. Beneath the headlines lies a story of discipline, preparation, spiritual conviction, and resilience shaped by mentorship, friendship, and loss.We trace Nichols' journey from debutante to record-setting pilot, from shattered vertebrae to historic long-distance flights, and from personal heartbreak to immensely impactful global humanitarian work. This conversation also places Nichols within the broader context of women's aviation history—alongside Amelia Earhart, The Ninety-Nines, and the interwar aviation world that shaped (and constrained) women's opportunities.What makes this episode special is not just what Nichols accomplished—but how she endured. This is a story about what happens when a woman refuses to disappear, even when the world—and her own body—tries to stop her.Topics Covered· Ruth Nichols' record-setting flights in altitude, speed, and distance· The brutal physical cost of early aviation—and survival against the odds· Mentorship from Harry Rogers and Clarence Chamberlain· Women pilots, publicity, and the economics of survival in aviation· The founding and early purpose of The Ninety-Nines· Competition, friendship, and tension with Amelia Earhart· Faith, Quaker values, and Nichols' pivot toward humanitarian aviation· Relief Wings, disaster response, and the roots of Civil Air Patrol· Why Ruth Nichols deserves a larger place in aviation historyDid you know you can support your local independent bookshop and me by shopping through my Bookshop.org affiliate links on my website?

more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-12-30-08-38-20-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Under den stjärnklara vinterhimlen, täcktes Gamla Stans gator av ett glittrande vitt snötäcke.En: Under the starry winter sky, the streets of Gamla Stan were covered with a sparkling white blanket of snow.Sv: Det var Nyårsafton, och den lilla stadsdelen i Stockholm sjöd av förväntan.En: It was New Year's Eve, and the small district in Stockholm buzzed with anticipation.Sv: Ljus blinkade från fönstren i de färgglada byggnaderna och lyktor kastade mjuka skuggor över de kullerstensbelagda gatorna.En: Lights flickered from the windows of the colorful buildings, and lanterns cast soft shadows over the cobblestone streets.Sv: Linnea, en nyfiken historiestudent, gick längs Nygatan med sin vän Axel, som arbetade på ett café i närheten.En: Linnea, a curious history student, walked along Nygatan with her friend Axel, who worked at a nearby café.Sv: Linnea hade alltid varit fascinerad av hemligheter och skatter från det förflutna, och hon hade en känsla av att detta skulle bli en kväll att minnas.En: Linnea had always been fascinated by secrets and treasures from the past, and she had a feeling this would be a night to remember.Sv: "Axel, jag har hört om en gammal bokhandel med en mystisk källare.En: "Axel, I've heard about an old bookstore with a mysterious cellar.Sv: Vill du följa med och titta?"En: Do you want to come and check it out?"Sv: frågade Linnea med glöd i blicken.En: asked Linnea with a sparkle in her eyes.Sv: Axel, som vanligtvis var skeptisk till sådana äventyr, ryckte på axlarna men kunde inte motstå Linneas entusiasm.En: Axel, who was usually skeptical of such adventures, shrugged but couldn't resist Linnea's enthusiasm.Sv: "Okej, men bara en snabb titt.En: "Okay, but just a quick look.Sv: Vi har ju festen vi måste hinna till."En: We have the party we need to get to."Sv: De anlände till den lilla bokhandeln som var gömd i skuggan av en gammal kyrka.En: They arrived at the small bookstore hidden in the shadow of an old church.Sv: Det luktade damm och gammalt papper när de gick in.En: It smelled of dust and old paper as they walked in.Sv: En vänlig äldre man bakom disken pekade mot en gammal dörr som ledde ner i källaren.En: A friendly older man behind the counter pointed toward an old door leading down to the cellar.Sv: Ficklampans sken dansade på de stenväggarna när Linnea och Axel steg ned för de knarrande trätrapporna.En: The flashlight beam danced on the stone walls as Linnea and Axel descended the creaking wooden stairs.Sv: Där, bland spindelväv och gamla böcker, fann de en märklig pergamentrulle gömd i en dammig kista.En: There, among cobwebs and old books, they found a strange parchment roll hidden in a dusty chest.Sv: "Det här är otroligt!"En: "This is incredible!"Sv: utbrast Linnea med en känsla av upptäckarglädje.En: exclaimed Linnea with a sense of discovery.Sv: "Men texten är i en gammal dialekt.En: "But the text is in an old dialect.Sv: Vi måste försöka tyda den."En: We have to try to decipher it."Sv: Tiden flög förbi när Linnea, uppslukad av mysteriet, arbetade intensivt.En: Time flew by as Linnea, engrossed in the mystery, worked intensively.Sv: Axel, som först var otålig, såg snart fascinationens kraft och hjälpte till med koncentration.En: Axel, who was initially impatient, soon saw the power of fascination and helped with concentration.Sv: Klockan närmade sig midnatt, och Axels oroliga blick för festens klockslag glömdes bort när Linnea äntligen utropade.En: The clock approached midnight, and Axel's worried glance for the party's hour was forgotten when Linnea finally exclaimed.Sv: "Här!En: "Here!Sv: En hemlig passage under Gamla Stan, det stod om den här!En: A secret passage under Gamla Stan, it was mentioned here!Sv: Det är en förlorad del av Stockholms historia!"En: It's a lost part of Stockholm's history!"Sv: Just då exploderade fyrverkerier på himlen, lyste upp deras ansikten och källarens väggar i färgsprakande ljus.En: Just then, fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating their faces and the cellar walls in colorful lights.Sv: De kastade en snabb blick på varandra och brast ut i glada skratt.En: They exchanged a quick glance and burst into joyous laughter.Sv: De hade upptäckt något oförglömligt.En: They had discovered something unforgettable.Sv: När kyrkklockorna började klämta tolv, kände Linnea en nyfunnen självsäkerhet.En: As the church bells began to chime twelve, Linnea felt a newfound confidence.Sv: Hennes tro på sina förmågor stärktes.En: Her belief in her abilities was strengthened.Sv: Axel insåg värdet av att ge efter för sin nyfikenhet.En: Axel realized the value of giving in to his curiosity.Sv: "Vi missade festen, men det här var värt det," sa Axel med ett varmt leende.En: "We missed the party, but this was worth it," said Axel with a warm smile.Sv: Deras skratt blandades med ljudet av firandet ovan jord.En: Their laughter mixed with the sounds of celebration above ground.Sv: De hade upptäckt en liten del av historien och samtidigt något nytt om sig själva, precis när det nya året började.En: They had discovered a small part of history and at the same time something new about themselves, just as the new year began.

Rather than offering a single answer or a definitive position, the programme unfolds as a carefully curated sequence of voices, each reflecting a lived experience that sits at the edge of what we understand. The structure is simple and deliberate. A series of interview clips, drawn from different lives and circumstances, are placed side by side, allowing patterns, tensions, and moments of resonance to emerge naturally.Throughout the episode, the host's presence is calm and unassuming. His interjections are sparse, thoughtful, and gently probing, offering space rather than direction. He treats each account with the same careful attention, neither affirming nor dismissing what is heard. This measured approach invites listeners to sit with uncertainty, to notice their own reactions, and to reflect on why such stories continue to move us.Taken together, the voices in this episode do not form an argument so much as a conversation across experiences. They ask what consciousness might be, how deeply it is tied to the body, and why encounters with death so often seem to reshape how people live. Beneath every clip runs a quieter thread: the human need to make sense of loss, to find continuity, and to feel that our lives are part of something larger than a single ending.This is an episode best approached without expectation, listened to slowly and with an open mind. It offers no answers, only the chance to reflect, to wonder, and perhaps to recognise something of your own questions in the voices of others. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

My friend Alex Cutini joins us to share his story: Alex Cutini grew up Catholic in Brazil, sensing early on that he was different from the other boys. At 18, his search for meaning led him to join the LDS Church, serve a mission a year later in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and eventually move to the United States to graduate from BYU-Idaho. Beneath the surface, the strain of hiding who he was grew into profound depression and moments of suicidal ideation. Coming out meant stepping away from the church and facing the heartbreak of family members who struggled to accept him. Yet alongside that pain came grace: a deep, enduring love with his husband Matt, now married for ten years, and unexpected, unwavering support from his mission president and the missionary and family who baptized him. As both of their families slowly learned how to love more fully, Alex found his way forward—toward healing, purpose, and ultimately becoming the CEO of Encircle, where his story now helps save lives. Alex then shares the story of Encircle, now serving communities through five locations across Utah. He honors Stephenie Larsen's original vision and courage in founding Encircle, and explains how that vision has grown into a lifeline for queer youth and their families. Encircle provides affirming clinical therapy, currently accepting new clients, alongside a wide range of free programs and services designed to create safety, connection, and hope. Together, these offerings reflect a simple but powerful mission: to ensure no young person or family has to navigate identity, mental health, or belonging alone. This is one of the most powerful podcasts we've ever done. Alex's coming-out story is profoundly moving as he shares his journey from shame to self-love and acceptance—traveling from darkness, depression, and little hope to light, happiness, and a deeper capacity to help others. I wish everyone—straight or queer—could hear his story. The principles and insights he shares have the power to help us all. Thank you, Alex, for being on the podcast and for your extraordinary work at Encircle. You are making a tremendous difference for good in our community, and you are one of my heroes. And to everyone involved with Encircle—thank you. I am deeply supportive of your lifesaving work.

Listen in as Founder and CEO of Howard Bailey Financial, Casey Weade is joined by Les McDaniel to explore how news-driven anxiety, the search for certainty, and misplaced trust impact peace, and discover the Yada framework for cultivating presence and self-awareness.

On today's show we are talking about what I consider to be the number one risk in any construction project. This is one of those activities that forms part of the substrate of the project, but in a customer visible sense adds zero value to the project. It's necessary, but unwelcome. Furthermore, it's the number one area where subcontractors notoriously overcharge their clients. I'm talking about excavation, site preparation, backfill and grading. All of this falls into the category of dirt work.At the core of this work is a high quality geotechnical survey. The geotech tells you the condition of the soils beneath the surface. Some conditions might be suitable for construction, and others not. --------------*Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Lately, it feels like something has shifted—not just in the headlines or online discourse, but in the emotional temperature of everyday life. Tension feels heavier. Anger escalates faster. Negativity seems to linger longer than it used to. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we take a closer look at what might be fueling that slow, unsettling boil beneath the surface of society. Paranormal investigator James Annito joins the conversation to explore whether this growing sense of unease is simply human nature under pressure—or if something darker is quietly amplifying it. We examine the impact of collective trauma, emotional contagion, and fear, while also questioning whether unseen forces may be feeding off chaos and division. From rising paranormal reports to the feeling that the atmosphere itself has changed, we dig into the shadowy overlap between psychology, spirituality, and the unknown. Is this just a rough chapter in human history, or are we navigating influences beyond what we can see? Understanding the source may be the first step toward regaining balance in a world that feels increasingly off-kilter.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Appio Hunter, whose early life as a Portuguese-speaking Mormon kid, his journey through conversion therapy, and his eventual path to love, self-acceptance, and healing make for one of the most profound LGBTQ+ Mormon Stories ever shared on this channel.Raised between Southern California and Utah by a Brazilian mother and a father with deep pioneer-era lineage, Appio knew from age four that he was different. By adolescence, he recognized he was gay –just as he was absorbing the harsh anti-gay rhetoric embedded in Mormon culture of the era. What followed was years of masking, spiritual turmoil, self-hatred, and the crushing belief that he needed to be “fixed.”Appio was eventually ushered into LDS-supported Reparative Therapy, including talk therapy, group sessions, “baseball therapy,” and even a type of 12-step program designed to eliminate same-sex attraction. This path led him all the way to the early 1990s offices of senior LDS General Authorities –including Russell M. Nelson and Henry B. Eyring –where he was held up as a "success story" of conversion therapy.Beneath the surface of being the “poster boy” for Reparative Therapy, the cost was devastating: self-loathing, loneliness, suicidal ideation, and the tragic loss of peers who didn't survive the program. Ultimately, Appio's journey brought him toward authenticity and real love.This is a story of survival, identity, love, and liberation –a must-watch for anyone navigating faith transitions, LGBTQ+ issues, or the legacy of Mormon conversion therapy.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.

Season 36, Episode 13 of our Serial Killers in History series. This episode examines one of North Africa's most notorious crimes and the execution that shocked the world.In the spring of 1906, authorities in Marrakesh make a discovery that will reverberate across continents. Beneath the packed-earth floor of a modest shoemaker's workshop, they uncover the remains of twenty-six women. Ten more bodies lie buried in a garden nearby. Thirty-six victims in total—women who came to a trusted craftsman for help and never walked out alive. What follows is a story of community betrayal, colonial politics, and a punishment so brutal that diplomats from New York to London demanded intervention. But the screaming from inside the marketplace walls continued for two days before...VICTIM PROFILE:The thirty-six women murdered by Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi remain largely unnamed in historical records—a final cruelty in a case dominated by its killer's infamy. They were working-class women from Marrakesh's medina, women who needed help with everyday tasks in a society where female literacy was rare. Some came to dictate letters to relatives in distant cities. Others needed shoes repaired. They were mothers, daughters, sisters who trusted a man their community trusted. They walked into his shop for legitimate business and vanished into the earth beneath his floor, their identities lost to time while their murderer's name lives in infamy.THE CRIME:Between 1902 and 1906, Mesfewi operated his shop near one of Marrakesh's public bathhouses, positioning himself perfectly to encounter women conducting business without male accompaniment. His method was consistent across all victims: he offered tea laced with narcotics, likely opium, rendering women unconscious. Once incapacitated, he killed them with a dagger and buried them beneath his workshop floor or in a garden he owned, using quicklime to accelerate decomposition. His seventy-year-old accomplice, a woman named Annah, assisted in the crimes until her capture in April 1906.KEY CASE DETAILS:The murders unraveled when families noticed a pattern—women who mentioned visiting Mesfewi's shop were never seen again. One young woman named Fatima escaped after growing dizzy from drugged tea, providing the first direct testimony against the shoemaker. When Annah was captured by a victim's family and forced to confess, she revealed the burial sites before dying from her injuries. Authorities excavating Mesfewi's workshop found twenty-six bodies, methodically buried with layers of quicklime. A second property yielded ten more victims. Forensic science in 1906 Morocco was rudimentary—no fingerprinting, no crime scene photography—so investigators relied on shovels, sketches, and eyewitness accounts to document the horror.HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND SOURCES:Mesfewi's crimes occurred during Morocco's final years of independence before European colonization. As his victims were being discovered in April 1906, diplomats gathered in Algeciras, Spain, carving up Morocco's future at an international conference. Within six years, the Treaty of Fez would establish the French Protectorate, ending twelve centuries of Moroccan sovereignty. European powers seized on Mesfewi's execution—he was sealed alive inside a wall in the Marrakesh marketplace—as evidence of "barbaric" Moroccan justice requiring European oversight. Contemporary newspapers from The Times and Democrat to the St. John Sun published detailed accounts and illustrations, framing the case within colonial narratives that justified intervention.RESOURCES AND FURTHER READING:For those who want to explore further:Wikipedia article on Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi provides comprehensive case details and contemporary source citations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadj_Mohammed_MesfewiMurderpedia entry includes execution details and victim count documentation: https://murderpedia.org/male.M/m/mesfewi-hadj-mohammed.htmYabiladi article examines the case from a Moroccan historical perspective: https://en.yabiladi.com/articles/details/94637/hadj-mohammed-mesfewi-morocco-serial.htmlFollow us on social media and visit mythsandmalice.com for more historical true crime.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
How do parents support kids who've experienced stress without letting labels become their identity? In this Facing the Dark episode, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore post-traumatic stress, attention struggles, and the growing role of AI in diagnosis, while carefully distinguishing between understanding a child's challenges and defining a child by them. Together they explain why beliefs shape behavior, why labels should only be used when they lead to real help, and how parents can speak truth, hope, and resilience over kids who are working through pain. This episode equips families to listen longer, look beneath the surface, and walk patiently with kids toward healing and confidence rooted in who God says they are.
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! On the outside, it's a stately 24-room mansion—brick, elegant, and frozen in time. On the inside, the Historic Hannah House in Indianapolis feels like it's still holding its breath. Today on The Grave Talks, we step inside the world of Alexander Hannah, a man who left Indiana for the gold rush and returned home with enough fortune to build a grand estate… and possibly hide a much darker secret. For generations, whispers have circulated that Hannah quietly used his home as a stop on the Underground Railroad, sheltering those fleeing slavery in the basement below. According to legend, one tragic night turned that act of courage into catastrophe—transforming the cellar into a mass grave for those who never made it to freedom. Are these stories just local lore, or does the house itself remember exactly what happened? Joining us are paranormal investigator and volunteer Brooke Boyer, and Bud Kelly, event coordinator at the Hannah House. They've spent countless hours within its rooms, listening to the knocks, voices, cold spots, and disembodied footsteps that seem to echo from another time. Is Alexander still watching over his home? And are the souls that may have perished there still trying to tell their story? This is Part Two of our conversation. #TheGraveTalks #HannahHouse #HistoricHannahHouse #HauntedIndiana #IndianapolisHistory #UndergroundRailroad #HauntedMansion #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStories #HistoricHauntings #GhostsOfIndiana #ParanormalInvestigation For more information about the mansion, tours and investigations, visit their website at historichannahmansion.com or search Historic Hannah House on Facebook.
