Three FBI whistleblowers testified on May 18 before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. They exposed details on alleged abuses of power by FBI leadership, and how the Bureau retaliated against whistleblowers. Every administration since President Ronald Reagan has mishandled classified materials, including mixing classified and unclassified documents. That's what National Archives officials told the House Intelligence Committee during a closed-door interview in March. Prosecutors say the Air National Guardsman accused of leaking classified documents on social media was warned multiple times over mishandling classified information. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Derek Marsh, the Associate Director of the Global Center for Women and Justice at Vanguard University. The two discuss the importance of shedding light on labor trafficking as well as understanding labor trafficking cases collaboratively. Key Points The same approach and attention given to sex trafficking should be used when approaching labor trafficking as both are crimes. While labor trafficking cases have decreased, collaboration when pursuing cases gives victims to opportunity to be liberated and ensures those who have committed the crime are held accountable. Investigating and identifying labor trafficking is difficult without collaboration because of its tendency to involve foreign nationals. It's important to have knowledge of the signs of labor trafficking to keep individuals who could possible be in a labor trafficking situation from being exploited.

Prior to 2008, Chris was the lead international kidnapping negotiator for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as well as the FBI's hostage negotiation representative for the National Security Council's Hostage Working Group. During his career, he also represented the U.S. government as an expert in kidnapping at two international conferences sponsored by the G8.

Chris was a member of the New York City Joint Terrorist Task Force for 14 years. He was the case agent on TERRSTOP (Omar Abdel-Rahman/"The Blind Sheikh" case) and the TWA Flight 800 catastrophe. He also negotiated the surrender of the first hostage taker to give up in the Chase Manhattan Bank robbery.

From 1819 and 1969, the U.S. removed thousands of Native children from their homes and tried to strip them of their culture. What would a reparations program for this history look like? The U.S. Department of the Interior has begun finally wrestling with the history of the Indian boarding school program. In 2021, the department's head, Secretary Deb Haaland, launched the  Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative to not only document the history, but to understand its ongoing impact.  Last year, the Bureau of Indian Affairs published the first volume of their findings from the initiative, which found that the U.S. operated or supported 408 boarding schools across 37 states and highlighted the dire conditions many children faced in these schools. The report also called for a reorientation of federal policy to support tribal languages and culture, to counteract the harm caused by the federal Indian boarding school system.? Allison Herrera, the Indigenous affairs reporter at KOSU, has been covering Secretary Haaland's listening sessions and has spoken with many of the survivors. She joins Kai Wright to share these emotional testimonies and hear from Native listeners.   If you are a survivor or related to someone who went through the federal Indian boarding school program, you can find resources for healing and self care through the National Native American Boarding Healing Coalition.  If you want to hear from more survivors about their experiences you can listen to: Stolen: Surviving Saint Michaels Investigative journalist Connie Walker unearths Canada's residential school program and what the path to healing looked like for survivors, including her father. She also examines the flaws in the way the Canadian government has attempted to reconcile with its role in the program through reparations. IllumiNative: American Genocide: Series hosts Crystal Echo Hawk (Pawnee) and Lashay Wesley (Choctaw) hit the ground in Pine Ridge, South Dakota to chronicle the actively-developing situation for themselves, covering every twist and turn in this true crime story about the compounding intergenerational pain of Native American boarding schools and whether it's possible for a community, Native peoples, and the United States to achieve truth, healing, and reconciliation.

They Called it Prairie Light  Established in 1884 and operative for nearly a century, the Chilocco Indian School in Oklahoma was one of a series of off-reservation boarding schools intended to assimilate American Indian children into mainstream American life.

Is Carbon Capture Essential to Fighting Climate Change?

When it comes to carbon dioxide, last year was a record year. The world emitted more of the climate-warming gas in 2022 than in any year since scientists began recording levels in 1900. The culprit, says the International Energy Agency, is society's voracious appetite for fossil fuels, and the need to burn them. So … what can be done to prevent dangerous levels of warming? One potential method is called carbon capture and storage, a technology in which CO2 is extracted and stored in underground facilities. In fact, as recently as February, Exxon Mobil announced that it will use Honeywell technology in Texas to capture some seven million tons of carbon dioxide per year. Other companies, meanwhile, have followed suit. But it is not without controversy. Critics say the technology is not cost effective, is unreliable in large scales, and that the level of carbon removal needed to help the planet is well beyond current capacity. As such, they say, it is a dangerous distraction in the broader fight against climate change, potentially diluting the urgency in reducing emissions. Others say these systems are ever more adept at capturing gases from the air, and that they have the potential to become a critical tool in the battle against rising emissions. It is in this context that we debate the following question: Is Carbon Capture Essential to Fighting Climate Change?  Arguing “YES” is Katherine Romanak, Research Scientist, Bureau of Economic Geology    Arguing is “NO”: Mark Zachary Jacobson, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, Director of its Atmosphere/Energy Program & Co-founder of The Solutions Project  Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, conversations about how grants from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), will help the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) rebuild or shore up major roads and bridges over the next few years.First, Beckie Curtis, director of MDOT's Bureau of Bridges and Structures, talks about the big news that MDOT received a $73 million federal grant to replace the 85-year-old Lafayette Avenue Bridge in Bay City. It is MDOT's second-oldest movable bridge.Curtis also explains where the bridge fits with priorities and efforts to rebuild or replace other aging bridges on the state network.Later, Niles Annelin, policy section manager at MDOT, explains the broader grant process and the work involved in applying for and winning IIJA grants.These include a $105 million grant for the I-375 Reconnecting Communities project in Detroit, which involves replacing the depressed freeway with an at-grade urban boulevard, accommodating multi-modal users. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joined Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to announce the grant in September 2022.

The anthrax letter attacks occurred from September through November of 2001, killing five and wounding many. The attacks were widely held to be the work of Muslims and were used to support the invasion of Afghanistan and, later, the invasion of Iraq. They were used explicitly and repeatedly to justify the passing of the Patriot Act. They were also meant to support withdrawal from the Antiballistic Missile Treaty, a withdrawal eagerly sought by the neoconservatives associated with the Project for a New American Century who wished to pursue their global agenda without obstruction from small states with WMD. In the early days of the attacks there were several perpetrator hypotheses in play. One that gained prominence was the Double Perpetrator hypothesis according to which Iraq had supplied the sophisticated anthrax spores while al-Qaeda had supplied the foot soldiers responsible for preparing and sending the letters. This hypothesis was eagerly reported by the mainstream media. It came to grief quickly when scientists discovered that the anthrax spores had a domestic source and appeared to come from the heart of the US military and intelligence communities.The FBI rapidly began a search for "the anthrax killer," promoting the idea that there was a lone wolf perpetrator within the military community--a renegade, an unbalanced person whose behavior revealed nothing of significance about structures and institutions of the deep state. In 2008 the Bureau named Dr. Bruce Ivins of the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases as the "anthrax killer." Ivins had conveniently died a week before being named and could not fight back in court. Ivins remains the FBI's choice to this day: the case was closed in 2010. This book support with a great deal of evidence the following four assertions: (a) the anthrax letter attacks were carried out by a group of perpetrators, not by a “lone wolf;” (b) the group that perpetrated this crime was composed, in whole or in part, of deep insiders within the U.S. state apparatus; (c) these insiders were connected to the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks; (d) the anthrax attacks were meant to play an important role in the strategy of redefinition through which the Cold War was replaced by a new global conflict framework, the Global War on Terror.The 2001 Anthrax Deception: The Case for a Domestic Conspiracy6 years ago #2001, #:the, #anthrax, #case, #conspiracy, #deception:, #domestic, #ed, #graeme

Last week I compared credit bureaus to city walls, defensive structures that, because they're solid and immovable, can keep the riskiest of customers out, but, also because they're solid and immovable, can't always let all the good customers in. Today, we look at those walls from the inside, and it turns out, their design is keeping some defenders out, too. Let's say the first step is too high for some to step up onto. Am I stretching this metaphor too far? Possibly. The idea is that lenders and their data are the defenders, and that the process to bring new lenders onto a credit bureau is flawed. Now, if you're sticking with me, you can think of Dillion Harindiran and his co-founders at Slipstream are building ladders, allowing more defenders to get to the top where they can be useful.Or, in sensible adult language, Slipstream have built a single, simple API that allows lenders of all sizes - they count start-ups, unicorns, and household names among their early customers - to connect to the three major UK credit bureaus simultaneously, hyperfast and with minimal effort.You can find Slipstream at: https://oneslipstream.com/You can find Dillion on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/harindiran/Or just arrange to speak to him in person via https://calendly.com/dillon .

On today show, we are looking again at the macro environment. So much of what is happening in the world of real estate is being dominated by the macro environment, which is why we keep coming back that. It's specifically on today show we are looking at a definition for inflation, in order to understand deflation. There is a case to be made for deflation. Today's show is the first of a two part series on deflation.  Now I know what you're thinking. How can we be experiencing deflation when all of the statistics are pointing to inflation. In fact the Federal Reserve and central banks around the world have been raising interest rates in order to fight inflation.  You're wondering - Has Victor totally lost his mind?  We have become accustomed to thinking of inflation, as meeting the consumer price index. The Bureau of labour in statistics has several metrics for price indices. There is the consumer price index which includes the more volatile food and fuel components. Then there is core, CPI, which excludes These more volatile components. However, in almost every case throughout history, it can be shown that these measures are not the inflation per se, but rather the symptom of inflation. The actual inflation is the inflation of the money supply. When you have more currency bidding for a fixed amount of goods and services in an economy, that excess money will eventually bid up the price of those goods and services.  So that's inflation. But what about deflation? If consumer price inflation is the result of inflation of the money supply, then would it make sense that consumer price deflation would be the result of a decrease in the money supply?  -------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 22nd, 2023… we have two new forecasts on whether we'll see a recession this year, some good news about the cost of construction materials, and a report that shows how much wealthier you are if you own instead of rent.    Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   We begin with a look at economic news from the past week. There are a few new reports predicting that we'll have a “mild” recession in the second half of the year. The Conference Board's leading economic indicator index, or LEI, was down for a 12th month in a row in March. It fell 1.2%, which is the biggest decline in the last three years, according to MarketWatch. The index is a compilation of 10 indicators. One Conference Board manager says: “Economic weakness will intensify and spread more widely throughout the U.S. economy over the coming months, leading to a recession starting in mid-2023.” (1)   Fannie Mae economists are also predicting a recession later this year. The GSE's Economic and Strategic Research Group says the economy is “running out of steam.” Although the economy got off to a strong start this year, the ESR group expects to see an economic contraction during the second half of 2023. Fannie Mae's chief economist Doug Duncan, says: “The economic slowdown has resumed – whether the end result is a modest recession or simply a soft landing remains unanswered.” He attributes much of his optimism to the strength of the housing market, saying: “The greater-than-expected resilience of the housing sector to the affordability pressures of higher home prices and mortgage rates is central to our expectation that the recession will be modest.” (2)   The Labor Department reported another weekly increase in jobless applications, which are now at their highest level since the end of 2021. Initial claims were up another 5,000 to a total of 245,000. That's still an historically low number. Continuing claims also jumped a bit. They were up 61,000 to a total of 1.87 million. (3)   Housing starts were down .8% in March, to a rate of 1.52 million. The drop is mostly due to a slowdown in condo construction which fell 6.7%. Starts for single-family homes offset that a bit with an increase of 2.7%. Permits for single-family homes were also higher, by 4.1% while permits for multi-family buildings were down almost 25%. The pullback in apartment construction follows a red-hot building streak over the last several months. (4)    Builders are feeling more confident about the market as demand grows for new homes. The National Association of Home Builders says its monthly confidence index was up one point to 45 in April. It's the fourth month that the index has gone higher, and it's now the strongest it's been since September of last year. Demand is strong because the inventory for existing homes is so low. (5)   Meantime, existing home sales were down 2.4% in March, to an annual rate of 4.44 million. Compared with March of last year, they are down 22%. Prices are also falling which means that current homeowners would lose some of their equity if they sold now. The National Association of Realtors says that prices were down 1% in March, which is the biggest monthly drop in a decade. That's a national number. A recent report from Black Knight says that prices are falling in the West but rising in the East. Prices are falling the most in cities that experienced a pandemic housing market boom. (6) (7)   Mortgage Rates   Mortgage rates started rising again this last week. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was up 12 basis points to 3.69%. The 15-year was up 22 points to 5.76%. (8)   In other news making headlines…   Prices Dipping for Construction Materials    Prices for construction materials are finally coming back to earth. According to an analysis by the Associated Builders and Contractors group, they are lower today than they were a year ago. It's the first year-over-year decrease we've seen in more than 18 months. Construction Dive says that building costs are still almost 40% higher than they were right before the pandemic struck. (9)   Costs for some individual construction materials remain high, however. Bisnow reports that concrete is up 14.5% from a year ago. Construction machinery and equipment is also about 12% higher. Prices are also fluctuating a lot from month to month. Chief Economist Ken Simonson for the Association General Contractors of America told Construction Dive that: “Contractors remain wary about committing to projects” because of the price volatility.   Some contractors are also putting the brakes on hiring. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 50% drop in construction job openings at the start of this year.   Homeowner vs. Renter Wealth Report   Many homeowners are becoming much wealthier than renters, thanks to an increase in their home equity. A study by the National Association of Realtors shows that over the last decade, homeowners became more than 40 times wealthier than the average renter because of that equity. (10)   The average gain since 2012 is about $99,000 for low income homeowners, about $122,000 for middle-income homeowners, and about $150,000 for upper-income homeowners.    That's it for our latest economic and housing market updates.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/26/2023): 3:05pm- In a new interview with The New York Times, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Dr. Anthony Fauci avoided taking responsibility for nation-wide locked downs during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, explaining: “show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did. I gave a public-health recommendation that echoed the C.D.C.'s recommendation, and people made a decision based on that.” You can read David Wallace-Wells' full interview with Dr. Fauci here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/04/24/magazine/dr-fauci-pandemic.html 3:30pm- On Wednesday, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten testified during a House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. During the hearing, Weingarten claimed she was unable to recall when she first began consulting with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on remote learning measures because she is in her 60's and, consequently, her memory isn't particularly strong. Weingarten also told Congress that she never suggested revisions to CDC guidelines, she merely presented the CDC with “ideas.” 3:40pm- Paul Thacker—American journalist based in Spain and former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli to discuss his work, “The Disinformation Chronicle” which documents the U.S. government's missteps regarding the COVID-19 pandemic including Dr. Anthony Fauci's refusal to concede that U.S. taxpayer money funded gain-of-function research in China. You can read all of Thacker's incredible work here: https://www.pauldthacker.com 4:05pm- Emma Camp—Assistant Editor at Reason Magazine & Reason.com—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her recent article, “How an Ill-Informed Internet Mob Ruined a UVA Student's Life.” Camp writes, “Morgan Bettinger was accused on social media of telling protesters they would make good ‘speed bumps.' It was more than a year before investigations cleared her.” Sadly, Bettinger had her personal life destroyed and her academic life derailed over false allegations. You can read Camp's full article here: https://reason.com/2023/04/24/the-most-hated-person-on-campus/ 4:15pm- According to reports on Twitter, Johns Hopkins University's Center for Health Security has removed “Event 201” from its website. The event was a “high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic.” Why was the content suddenly erased? 4:30pm- On Wednesday, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten testified during a House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. During the hearing, Congressman Jamie Raskin (D- MD) bizarrely cited several stories from The New York Times' opinion section as proof that Weingarten wanted students to return to in-person learning during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. 4:40pm- During a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm stated that she supports the U.S. military adopting an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030. Rich hilariously wonders what will happen if someone forgets to charge the tanks? 4:50pm- According to rumors reported on by Page Six, former President Donald Trump is being urged by insiders to pick Ron DeSantis to be his Vice President/running mate as part of an effort to blunt the Florida Governor's 2024 presidential ambitions. 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Taboo: 10 Facts You Can't Talk About”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his most recent article on National Review, “Why Woke Companies Deliberately Alienate Their Consumers.” You can read Dr. Reilly's full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/04/why-woke-companies-deliberately-alienate-their-consumers/ 5:20pm- The Mystery Movie Clip + Matt and Henry aren't allowed to go to Germany with Rich. 5:35pm- According to reports, a Democrat State Representative in Minnesota is attempting to pass legislation that would allow the state to track speech they consider “hateful.” 5:40pm- While testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Oversight, Director Steven Dettekbach was unable to define “assault weapon” when questioned by Congresswoman Jackson Lee (D-TX). 5:55pm- The House of Representatives has passed a bill that would raise the nation's debt ceiling while concurrently cutting long-term federal spending. The bill passed along party lines with 217 Republicans voting in favor and 215 Democrats opposing. President Joe Biden has already pledged to veto the bill. 6:05pm- Appearing on the Dear Schuyler podcast, NCAA champion swimmer Lia Thomas—a biological male—claimed that anyone who doesn't support transgender athletes participating in sports as the gender of their choosing, cannot truly be considered feminists. 6:30pm- Revisionist History: In a new interview with The New York Times, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Dr. Anthony Fauci avoided taking responsibility for nation-wide locked downs during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, explaining: “show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down.
