Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University says that with Rachel Reeves facing a £50 billion black hole, he can't understand why the government is enacting or considering policies that will worsen our economic position. We are now surely in a doom loop and both Labour and Tories are making huge mistakes in carrying on with an unsustainable big state. He considers the strategic errors of the EU, which subcontracted its energy supply to Russia, its supply chains to China and its defence to China. Europe's policies are not rooted in sound economics or governance and its recent trade deal massively benefits the USA. Others may complain about Trump's tariffs but the EU has over 4,000 in force. He discusses a forthcoming book from demographer Paul Morland which claims that the human race is in danger of dying out. Despite some vigorously reproducing countries, too many are ageing and shrinking, putting pressure on welfare states and losing innovation and inventiveness. Without a massive change in course, many parts of the world are in terminal decline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome to BanklessTV, featuring Peter Van Valkenburgh from Coin Center and David Morris of The Rage, freshly back from the SDNY courtroom with the inside scoop on the Roman Storm verdict. In this episode we unpack the split decision—how Storm beat the money-laundering and sanctions-evasion counts yet was found guilty on the hot-button “unlicensed money-transmission” charge—and what that single conviction means for every non-custodial developer in crypto. Peter breaks down the legal tightrope between FinCEN guidance and DOJ prosecution, outlines three clear appeal paths (including the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act), and explains why Roman's case could still become a rallying point for financial-privacy legislation. David shares firsthand color from the trial: jury deadlocks, high-stakes witness drama, and the emotional moment Storm walked free to see his daughter. Join us to hear why this verdict is both a wake-up call and an opportunity, what Congress, the courts, and the next administration might do next, and how the outcome could reshape DeFi, privacy tech, and open-source innovation for years to come. ------

The US June trade balance is due—measuring both goods and services. For some bilateral relationships (e.g. trade with the EU), the US goods deficit is almost entirely offset by a services surplus. Goods export patterns have been distorted by the anticipation of trade taxes, and to some extent by boycotts of US goods. It is unlikely that there will be any evidence of tariffs transforming the US into an export powerhouse.

In the last message of the imprumptu series we look at Isaiah's prophecies regarding the future. He sees "new" things like the natural order of the universe shifting and becoming theo-centric, the Messiah comes as a suffering servant with wounds that bring healing, and he sees an eternal heavenly kingdom that will never pass away. All of these images are meant to bring us hope and trust in God's constant work to save, heal, and deliver His people.

Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the move by Macron, Starmer and Carney towards recognising a Palestinian state. While largely a symbolic gesture which presents a number of complicating factors, the Netanyahu goverment is clearly losing support in the West. Discussing the doctor's strike, with a call for a 29% rise after getting 22% last year and Wes Streeting's tough language, Mike feels they may be overplaying their hand. He finds Donald Trump holding court during his UK visit fascinating but thinks Starmer is better than most leaders at handling Trump. As the ONS confirm the second highest population increase since WW2, Mike points out that without migration the population of many Western countries would fall. He finds himself deeply suspicious of the rhetoric of many politicians on the right on this topic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What's a person to do when they love visual art, but don't share the gift of creating it themselves? Poet Janée Baugher, whose work we discuss in this episode, displays her love of art through ekphrastic poetry. She's even written a book on the form, The Ekphrastic Writer: Creating Art-Influenced Poetry, Fiction and Nonfiction (McFarland, 2020). Slushies, you'll definitely want to take a look at these poems and their unique formatting before you listen to the podcast. The poems we discuss center around Andrew Wyeth's paintings and come from Baugher's forthcoming 2026 collection The Andrew Wyeth Chronicles, selected by Shane McCrae to win the 2023 Tupelo Press Dorset Prize.   Along the way, Jason shares his travel mishaps and coins a memorable new moniker for Greenville-Spartanburg. Our South Carolina diversion leads Lisa to Hub City Writers Project and Kathy to The Swamp Trail. We talk about poetry-as-footnote, which we also chatted about in Episode 110. Dagne, in thinking about artist's models, recommends a Decoder Ring podcast episode about Andrew Wyeth's muse, Helga. And Jason reveals his own secret past in front of the sketchpad!   At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Jason Schneiderman, Dagne Forrest, Lisa Zerkle, Jodi Gahn, Sebastian Rametta (sound engineer)     Author bio: Janée J. Baugher is the author of the only craft book of its kind, The Ekphrastic Writer: Creating Art-Influenced Poetry, Fiction and Nonfiction (McFarland, 2020) and an assistant editor at Boulevard magazine.

Alexander Beiner is a writer and podcaster. He's one of the executive directors of Breaking Convention, and the author of the book The Bigger Picture: How Psychedelics can help us make sense of the world. In 2018, he co-founded Rebel Wisdom, an alternative media and events platform that grew to a quarter of a million subscribers, and became an influential node in the systems change, personal growth and sense-making communities. His work explores how psychedelics can be used to elicit sustainable cultural change, the complexities of psychedelic capitalism and mainstreaming, and how differing beliefs and value systems affect psychedelic culture. Ali Beiner discusses his book "The Bigger Picture," which explores the intersection of psychedelics and systems change. He emphasizes the transformative power of psychedelics, noting their role in enhancing complexity tolerance and fostering a deeper connection to the world. Beiner highlights the importance of an "ecology of practices," including meditation, therapy, and psychedelics, to address the meta crisis. He also discusses the need for collective integration of psychedelic insights into governance, economics, and education. Beiner advocates for a psychedelic way of thinking to drive systemic change, encouraging curiosity and experimentation. https://www.alexanderbeiner.com https://beiner.substack.com https://beiner.substack.com/p/leviathan-full-documentary Here are the key references mentioned during the conversation: Authors/Thinkers: Timothy Morton (concept of meta crisis) Ken Wilber (integral studies) John Vervaeke (cognitive science) Terence McKenna (psychedelic philosopher) Timothy Leary (psychedelic researcher) Ram Dass (spiritual teacher) Daniel Schwackenburger Bruce Dahmer (scientist who had an Ayahuasca insight) Books/Concepts: "The Bigger Picture" (the speaker's book) 4E Cognitive Science Exaptation (evolutionary concept) WEIRD model (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) Specific Research/Studies: Johns Hopkins psychedelic studies Rick Strassman's DMT study NASA's origins of life research Psychedelic Communities/Conferences: Breaking Convention conference Minds (non-profit focused on psychedelic innovation) Please consider donating to Patreon patreon.com/EmergingPurposePodcast www.emergingpurpose.net Thankyou to Julian Humphries for the use of his track 'Stay Close' https://www.bandlab.com/track/3b14f53b-e4b1-ed11-a8e0-000d3a3f8f45?sharedKey=R6TWp8wp_kaQ4EndDAQ9UA

Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University says that we are living in changeable times and that the major political parties we have known all our lives may not hold sway for much longer. Jeremy Corbyn has finally agreed to join a new hard-left party with Zara Sultana, although the name won't be announced until its first conference. Pollsters suggest 10% of voters could support it, mirroring what is happening on the right with the Conservatives and Reform. Kemi Badenoch's reshuffle is instantly forgettable and confirms something is going seriously wrong with the Tories. Meanwhile Reform remains consistently ahead of Labour and is now trying to add form and structure, building a board and ensuring it is ready for the next election, which Tim feels could be in 2028.

Political commentator Mike indian discusses the removal of the whip of the four MPs who led the welfare rebellion. Despite Labour's massive majority, it is proving hard to maintain party discipline. Rachel Reeves has emerged as Starmer's co-Prime Minister with market reaction to her tears in the Commons strengthening her position, as there seems no possible alternative Chancellor. The Afghan data breach, and the superinjunction covering it up, is a spectacular blunder by the British state. It heightens the impression of incompetence at the top and the belief that civil servants are never held to account. Lastly, Mike turns to the lowering of the voting age to 16, wondering if Reform might not be the party that benefits most from it. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey friends! In this episode, we dove deep into a topic that's as eye-opening as it is jaw-dropping (pun totally intended

When Dr. Edwin Simpson began his career as a veterinarian for champion racehorses, he never imagined he'd one day be formulating cutting-edge supplements for humans. But that's exactly what happened. Over decades of working with elite animals suffering from stress fractures and performance fatigue, Dr. Simpson developed natural, plant-based formulas to strengthen bones and accelerate healing. What began as a mission to support equine health eventually became something much bigger—after clients began asking, “Can I take this too?” The answer became Alexsyn, a supplement company rooted in science, real-world results, and a deep understanding of how the body heals from within. Now, at the forefront of his human health product line is a revolutionary bone support formula called RevOsteo—a product that may very well change how we age, move, and stay strong. The Problem Most of Us Never See Coming By the time we reach our 50s, most of us are already losing bone density—and we don't even know it. “Osteoporosis is known as the silent killer,” Dr. Simpson says. “You don't feel your bones weakening—until you fall, fracture something, or get a DEXA scan that shocks you.” In fact, over 54 million Americans have low bone mass, and 1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. Yet the traditional approach—calcium supplements and hope—isn't cutting it. That's where RevOsteo comes in. Why RevOsteo Is Different RevOsteo is not another calcium supplement. In fact, it doesn't include calcium at all. “Most people get enough calcium from food,” says Dr. Simpson. “The real issue is whether your body is absorbing and using it effectively.” RevOsteo is designed to do what calcium alone can't: stimulate new bone formation, reduce bone loss, and support long-term skeletal health. Its formula is built around three powerful, synergistic ingredients: Icarin – A plant compound from Epimedium that boosts the activity of osteoblasts (cells that build bone) while suppressing osteoclasts (cells that break bone down). Beta-glucans – Known for their immune-supporting and anti-inflammatory properties, they also help regulate bone metabolism. Vitamin K2 (MK-7) – Guides calcium into the bones and away from arteries, helping to prevent both bone loss and vascular issues. These are supported by Vitamin D3 (essential for calcium absorption) and Boron (for hormone balance and bone matrix production). The result? A complete, targeted approach to bone health—without fillers or fluff. The Origin Story Behind the Formula The inspiration for RevOsteo didn't come from a lab—it came from the racetrack. Years ago, Dr. Simpson began treating young racehorses developing stress fractures during training. While their cardiovascular systems adapted quickly, their skeletal systems lagged behind, often resulting in serious injury. Through years of testing and formulation, he created a bone support formula that significantly reduced fractures in these high-performance animals. Eventually, that same formula evolved into RevOsteo for humans, fine-tuned for aging adults looking to protect their independence and mobility. The Bigger Picture of Aging Well Dr. Simpson is the first to say: RevOsteo is only one part of the solution. “To really protect your bones and live a long, healthy life, you also need strength training, proper nutrition, sleep, and sometimes hormone support,” he says. But supplementation fills in the gaps—especially as we age, hormone levels decline, and nutrient absorption weakens. That's why RevOsteo is ideal for: Women post-menopause Men over 50 with declining testosterone Anyone with osteopenia or family history of osteoporosis Active adults looking to preserve mobility and avoid fractures   And while it won't deliver overnight results, Dr. Simpson says you can expect measurable gains—a 3–8% increase in bone density over 6 to 12 months—when combined with strength training and proper lifestyle support. What Else Is in the Alexsyn Line? While RevOsteo is the flagship product for bone health, Alexsyn offers a full suite of wellness tools, including: VeloSleep – A serotonin-boosting sleep gummy for deep, natural rest without synthetic melatonin overload. Amend GI – A plant-based gut health formula inspired by successful treatments for ulcers in high-performance horses. F-Ox VCS – Vision and cognitive support designed to protect the brain and eyes from oxidative stress as we age. Still, it's RevOsteo that's making the biggest impact—especially during National Osteoporosis Awareness Month and beyond. Ready to Strengthen Your Foundation?

ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard has just declassified the Biden administration's Strategic Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism and what it reveals should alarm every American. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the newly released SIP and exposes how the federal government built an infrastructure to monitor, censor, and investigate ordinary Americans under the guise of countering domestic extremism.

Professor Giordano explains how this system threatens civil liberties, how it could easily be turned against the Left under a future administration, and why immediate reforms are needed to dismantle the administrative state. Episode Highlights: How the declassified SIP proves the government's framework for targeting political opponents Why vague terms like “anti-authority sentiment” open the door to mass surveillance and censorship The danger of inverting this strategy under a future administration and why both parties should be alarmed

Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement has triggered global market turmoil and marked a fundamental shift in the world economy. We explore how these extensive tariffs on over 100 nations represent not just negotiation tactics but an attempt to completely reorganise global trade. There are a number of possible scenarios ranging from global recession to America's economic isolation while noting that the rest of the world is already forming new alliances in response. We hope to give perspective on a pivotal moment that could permanently alter international relations, diminish American economic dominance, and reshape the political landscape in countries worldwide.To support, subscribe or find out more about Rebuilders, head to https://rebuilders.co
