Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H.W. Bush, recently commented on how the US Government is responsible for $21-Trillion in “unauthorized spending” between 1998 and 2015 alone. This was documented by Mark Skidmore of Michigan State University in 2017. Catherine believes much of it went into “underground base and city infrastructure and transportation systems” that have already been built. A Washington Post article in 2010 documented the Hidden World of a massively complex national security and intelligence network infrastructure built across the country in the wake of 911. But that's only part of it, and only encompasses the decade between 2001 and 2010 - not to mention the $2.3-Trillion announced missing one day before 911 and the justification to build this infrastructure. It doesn't include the half a century of public and private construction projects for military command centers like NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain or VIP bunkers under Greenbrier Resort. Some of this is for military control, others for continuity of government, and still others for laboratories perhaps akin to the Hive, or simply for nuclear material storage. In fact NASA just found a decommissioned facility in Greenland that was home to Camp Century and Project Iceworm. All of this spending coupled with authorized military spending adds up to over half of the country's national debt. Many of these bunkers, command centers, facilities, etc., have price tags that in order to add up to the unauthorized trillions must be beyond vast, they must be numerous beyond what we can conceive. And these facilities are worldwide, likely under the ocean as much as they are buried into mountains. The wealthy are also building their own bunkers toady, some of which are luxury facilities. Then there are facilities built right under our feet and meant for flood preparations, like the G-Cans in Tokyo. There are also reports of odd booms and explosions hear around the world for several decades. Some is probably atmospheric, part is geological, and others are possible a result of these projects. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Some crazy breakaway racing painted stage 20 of the Tour de France. We had Matteo Jorgenson up the road, but he blew his bullet too early and never recovered. We hear from Matteo and also Grischa Niermann later. And we also talk to Tijn Betten, one of our cameramen in the Tour. As you are used to from us, we will deliver a Tour de France documentary with all the behind the scenes access. But exactly how many hours of footage do we use to get to that one hour documentary?

Resistol Rookie Haiden Thompson's 2025 ProRodeo season just kicked into high gear—and she's taking us along for the ride in this week's episode of the The Breakdown Podcast.The Wyoming cowgirl racked up an eye-popping $21,041 in earnings in just one week, with cash-ins at Estes Park, Sheridan, Casper, Gunnison and Cheyenne.

My husband Tim joins me for this honest, refreshing, and hope-filled conversation with Brian and Emilie McCormack. Together they lead Breakaway Ministries along with their 5 kids out of College Station. Whether you're an Aggie or just want to hear some incredible news of what's going on at one of the biggest college campuses in the US, the McCormacks give us a unique perspective of revival and discipleship taking place at Texas A & M. This one hits close to home for us, and today you'll hear a little about how this ministry has had a direct impact on our family. Today we pick up with Brian sharing the history and timeline of how Breakaway got started…Social media handle: @brianmccormack, @emiliemccormack, @breakawaymin Breakaway MinistriesShow Notes/Quotes:“When we're asked, 'What do we see?' The answer's always the same, it's just that we see hunger. There's a wild hunger among this generation and among college students right now.” “The opportunity is incredible, but the need and the urgency is just as big.”“And she said - ‘I don't know what happened, but I encountered God, and something in me changed.'”“It's God who's doing the heavy lifting, we just get to plant the seeds and then, man, sometimes we get to see the fruit.”“Statistically most people are deciding are they in or are they out when it comes to following Jesus in this 18-24 year old range.” “When I tell a couple thousand 20-year-olds, 'You are God's primary delivery mechanism for the grace and hope and healing of God in this day and age and there is no plan B', they kinda straighten up and are like, ‘Ok, what are we gonna do about that?'”“Two words come to mind - questions, and confession.” “I think the best thing a man can do is give his son a category for a man who is fully known by a few other men, and who are seeking God together.”Reflections on seminary, “I feel more certain that Jesus is the hope of the world, and I feel like I know less than I started.”“You have to have the living Word pouring into you.”“It's not just about information, but rather about transformation, and that transformation happens in God's nearness…proximity is the remedy.”

After 3 hard GC days, today the GC contenders could take things a bit easier. That meant also that riders like Victor Campenaerts or Wout Van Aert could take their chances and fight for a stage victory. We hear from Wout after the stage. And we talk to our CEO Richard Plugge about the comeback of Rababank and Skil as sponsors in cycling. But also: what does a CEO do during the Tour de France?

Stage 15 Muret-Carcassonne 169.3km (Hilly)Stage 15 of the Tour de France 2025 delivered a masterclass in breakaway brilliance and tactical misfires. On a lumpy 169 km route through southern France, Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) launched a daring solo attack with 40 km to go, holding off all chasers to claim his first Tour stage win—and complete his set of victories across all three Grand Tours.Behind him, the peloton fractured early due to a crash, GC teams scrambled to regroup, and Julian Alaphilippe mistakenly celebrated third place as a win. With the GC battle neutralized and the sprinters dropped, it was a day for the opportunists—and Wellens seized it with style.

Episode 101: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Nelly Mubashi, CEO of Northwest Asset Management and RIA Innovations. They discuss how advisors can build their own RIA easily and confidently. Nelly also shares her remarkable journey from receptionist to CEO, the importance of culture in growing a company, and how Northwest Asset Management and RIA Innovations can be the launchpad for advisors going independent. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:50) - Nelly's money moment (07:16) - Why Nelly chose the RIA space over larger firms (08:42) - Launching an RIA in the middle of the 2008 financial crisis (10:26) - Maintaining company culture across a growing, remote team (13:25) - Why Nelly offers à la carte services instead of a one-size-fits-all model (15:19) - Designing the tech stack at Northwest Asset Management ( 17:59) - Integrating technology across platforms without chaos (20:35) - Making sense of business data in a multi-platform world (23:36) - The ideal advisor fit for Northwest Asset Management (25:53) - How the firm attracts and retains breakaway advisors (28:27) - What's next for RIAs: trends, predictions, and a trust company (32:59) - Nelly's Milemarker Minute (35:38) - Nelly's “why” for founding Northwest Asset Management Key Takeaways Breaking away from a big firm doesn't mean sacrificing service or professionalism. Advisors often fear that going independent means a downgrade in service or technology. But with the right support model—like the one Nelly has built—advisors can maintain (or even enhance) client experience while gaining freedom and flexibility. Culture is a competitive advantage, even in a remote-first environment. As firms scale and spread out geographically, intentional communication, responsiveness from leadership, and regular team engagement are essential to maintaining a strong, connected culture that supports both staff and advisors. One-size-fits-all platforms limit advisor growth—flexibility is key. Offering à la carte services gives advisors the ability to build the business that works best for them. By avoiding rigid packages and letting advisors customize what they outsource, firms can better serve a wider range of needs and goals. Technology should empower—not complicate—advisor independence. Having a curated but flexible tech stack, paired with an experienced ops team, allows advisors to plug in and focus on clients instead of platforms. Integration and data visibility across systems are essential to scale effectively without losing clarity. Quotes "We're looking for advisors who are simple. They don't take a lot of risk, are easy to manage, and their clients can be scaled up." ~ Nelly Mubashi "When thinking about our services, we're making sure that we are providing the highest level of service and the highest level of technology so that advisors have that great experience. They don't feel like they're getting downgraded because you know they're moving to a small RIA." ~ Nelly Mubashi "I want to make sure that advisors have a platform where they feel comfortable and don't feel too small for someone to pay attention to them." ~ Nelly Mubashi Links  Nelly Mubashi on LinkedIn Northwest Asset Management RIA Innovations U.S. Bank Piper Jaffray (now Piper Sandler) UBS Charles Schwab Fidelity Investments Tamarac Orion Advisor Solutions eMoney Advisor Envestnet | MoneyGuide Holistiplan Nitrogen SS&C Salentica Start with Why by Simon Sinek Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Learn more at Turncast.com.

Breakaway to the Wild West: Trust Jesus | Pastor of Student Ministries Sara Fisher

Cowgirls love the rodeo just as much as cowboys, but for the better part of the past century, there's only been one event for women – until now. Breakaway roping, dubbed the fastest event in rodeo, has swept competitions across North America, and is corralling more space for cowgirls in the process.The Globe's Jana Pruden was at the 50th Canadian Finals Rodeo this fall, where the second-ever women's event was showcased at the country's biggest rodeo for the first time. She speaks with Canadian breakaway ropers and gives us a sense of the history of women in rodeo, and just how hard they've worked to rope and ride alongside the cowboys.This episode originally aired January 14, 2025.Questions?

Breakaway to the Wild West: Follow Jesus | Pastor Jeremiah Fair

Gayatri Kalyanaraman is in conversation with Dr. Fred Jordan, CEO and Co-Founder at AlpVision and FinalSpark - Expert anticounterfeit technologies - Expert biocomputing talks about his journey to make a difference in AI and what propelled him to do that. 1. Early Career — Curiosity, Coincidence, and CounterfeitsFred describes himself modestly as a French physicist who stumbled into entrepreneurship by "provoking luck."He and his co-founder Martin Kutter began with research in digital watermarking, creating invisible marks on media.Their startup AlfVision emerged from this — aimed at detecting counterfeit goods using image analysis.Lessons from early failures (9 out of 10 products failed) were key to refining their success. 2. Making the Mark — Patents, Passion, and Intellectual PropertyFred emphasizes building a business around passion, but insists on profitability too.He stresses the importance of understanding finance, even for technical founders.As a multi-founder and active programmer, he still codes when needed — including writing software that led to a patent and successful tech deployment in China. 3. Creating a Legacy — Bio-Neurons and a Sustainable FutureFinal Spark emerged from Fred and Martin's desire to return to fundamental research, after years of commercial success.Their mission: dramatically reduce the energy and resources required to run AI by leveraging real neurons instead of digital simulations — achieving up to 1 million times greater energy efficiency.In their lab in Switzerland, they've created a testbed where biological neural tissues are grown, connected via electrodes, and streamed in real-time — with microfluidics feeding them 24/7.Fred draws a direct parallel between learning in artificial neural networks (via adjusting weights) and the biological challenge of inducing learning by reconfiguring synaptic connections. This forms the crux of building a true biological computing server. “When you have artificial neurons, learning is done by setting the right connections between them. We need to do the same in biology. That's how humans learn — and that's what we have to replicate in vitro.”The long-term vision is bold:Create biological servers at scale (10cm x 100m tissues) that could power AI with drastically less energy.Biological intelligence becoming mainstream — just as LED lights replaced incandescent bulbs.A future with hybrid bio-artificial objects — think of a glass that detects your mood and adjusts your drink accordingly.Breakaway quote-worthy moments “Trial and error is really precious... Being a co-founder, failures teach you very, very valuable lessons.” “I'm not building something for today — I want it to make sense even from 100 million kilometers away.”His thoughts on entrepreneurship: “You need to be not bad at many things. Everything is holistic.” “If you don't work for your dreams, you work for someone else's.”Fred Jordan is an Experienced Chief Executive Officer with a demonstrated history of successful and profitable businesses. Skilled in Innovation, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Programming, Marketing, Management and Entrepreneurship. Scientific education with M.Sc. in physics and Ph.D. in signal processing.Co-founder of:- AlpVision: Supplier of technologies and smartphone solutions for automatic detection of genuine and fake products.- FinalSpark: Startup using biological neural networks for the design of Artificial General Intelligence.Dr. Fred Jordan  started their journey in technology entrepreneurship after completing his PhDs at EPFL in applied mathematics. This work gave them the inspiration for their first successful start-up, AlpVision, where they excelled at overcoming engineering challenges and created an innovative solution for product authentication. The company became very profitable and is still successfully run by them.This brought the co-founders Fred and Martin to a new, even bigger challenge, to address the problem of Artificial General Intelligence. Creating a ‘Thinking Machine' is a dream of many engineers. A machine which can reason as a human being is considered by many as a peak performance to be achieved in engineering.Although we currently observe the flourishing of the AI models which make impression of being ableto think, as they successfully ‘fake' human thinking with advanced statistics, this has nothing to do withhuman reasoning which is capable of creating new ideas and concepts outside its own experience. Thisis what a ‘real' thinking machine should do as well.Fred and Martin decided to address this problem by testing the state-of-the-art methods in AI models, such as in silico spiking neural networks, genetic programming and many versions of in silico neural networks.Multidisciplinary thinking and the interest to explore unknown areas lead Fred and Martin to work on living neurons as computation units. They established FinalSpark lab which is currently running fundamental research with one main question: How to make living neurons perform intended computations?How to send instructions to the living neurons using electric wires and receive results – the same wayas we send the instructions by typing on our keyboard and receive the answers from in silico computerson our screens.Fred Jordan can be reached at https://www.linkedin.com/in/fred-jordan-anticounterfeiting-brandprotection-authentication/

Emmry Edwards, the 15-year-old phenom who went head-to-head with rodeo's elite in the breakaway roping at the 2025 Women's Rodeo World Championship—and left with $6,000, a whole lot of grit, and a story to tell.From a last-chance qualifier to the biggest stage in the sport, Emmry's journey to AT&T Stadium wasn't exactly mapped out—but it was earned. With a bold 2.0-second run in the short round, she proved she wasn't there just to show up—she was there to win.

She walks us through her road to AT&T, her mindset backing into the box behind two 1.8-second runs, and how she stayed calm, collected, and focused on her job.We also talk about her recent momentum-building win at the Junior Patriot, splitting a $50,000 bonus after a 1.9-second run—and how she's preparing to climb divisions and dominate in the challenger class in 2026.This episode is for the young guns, the dreamers with their rope in hand and eyes on the prize, and every girl who's ever wondered if she's too young or too new to make her mark.Because Emmry's story is proof that all it takes is one run, one moment, and a whole lot of heart to change everything.In The LOOP Podcast hosted by Jordan Jo Hollabaugh, is inspired by the western culture and breakaway roping lifestyle.
