We recorded this episode in the knowledge that Israel's planned illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla was imminent. Overnight, the abduction of its passengers begun, and at time of upload, it is still ongoing. Israeli military vessels attacked the humanitarian boats with water canons, before boarding vessels and capturing passengers. Captives are expected to be taken to Ketziot prison in the Negev desert. This was a forcible prevention of the flotilla's lawful aim to carry aid to Gaza as it endures a manmade famine and genocide. Under maritime law, it was an act of piracy. It was also enabled by international news media. Here's how.

[2:51] We're very excited that today is International Podcast Day! Before we celebrate, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and mourn the passing of Todd Cochrane. Todd was a podcast pioneer. [3:06] I've linked in this episode's show notes to a wonderful obituary from Podnews®, about his career, starting with his time in the Navy up to launching his own podcast, and writing Podcasting: The Do It Yourself Guide, from Wiley Publishing in 2005. [3:25] Over the last couple of months, I've had the pleasure of communicating with Todd over email for the Podcast Awards, and it was only last week that I saw the unfortunate news of his passing, which occurred suddenly on September 8th. [3:30] Our condolences go out to his family, friends, and the greater podcasting industry. [3:47] On with the show! This is our special International Podcast Day episode, and I am delighted to be joined by James Swanke, the Director of the Risk Management and Insurance MBA Program at the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [4:06] Jim spent four decades at WTW, specializing in financial and strategic planning issues, as well as captive insurance company design. [4:18] Jim was recently quoted in a new professional report, available on the RIMS Risk Knowledge page, and sponsored by LineSlip Solutions, titled “The Future of Captive Insurance: Governance, Technology, and Performance Optimization.” [4:32] Jim got his start at the University of Wisconsin in broadcasting. We're going to talk about his career path and how being a disc jockey led him to where he is today, educating the next generation of risk professionals. Let's get to it! [4:50] Interview! Jim Swanke, welcome to RIMScast! [5:38] When Jim was in high school, he competed in forensics, in extemporaneous speaking. He did very well. He did well at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and it got put in the newspaper. WLDY, in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, saw it in the newspaper and contacted him. [6:03] They were looking for a radio jock to “spin vinyls,” do some DJing, and read sports and news. That job helped Jim get into the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [6:21] Jim studied actuarial science and risk management. He went into the Bachelor's program, the MBA program, and the graduate program in risk management, insurance, and corporate finance. [6:40] Jim was hired by the Wyatt Company and did lots of feasibility studies. After 42 years at Willis Towers Watson, he retired. Now he teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [6:57] Broadcasting set Jim on his path. He says that everything about what we do in the captive and risk management area is about communication. If you're not communicating, listening, helping out, and building stuff, you're not going to be a success. [7:28] When Jim was a DJ at WLDY, they played different kinds of music. On Sundays, he played polka music. On Saturdays, it was country western, and Monday through Friday, it was rock music. Rock music is what he enjoys. At the top of every hour, he did the news and weather. [8:13] Justin recalls his own career. He was just waiting for podcasting to be invented, then he was able to make it all work out. [8:31] Jim worked with captives at Willis Towers Watson. He is quoted in a new LineSlip paper, “The Future of Captive Insurance: Governance, Technology, and Performance Optimization.” Justin saw his name there and thought it would be good to have him on RIMScast. [8:53] Jim described captives as a lifeline during extreme market conditions, comparing today's hard market to the turbulence of the 1980s. Jim tells what makes captives effective under hard conditions. Captives allow organizations to control their own destiny. [9:20] When you're in a hard market, having a captive allows you to take premiums that you normally pay to a commercial insurance carrier and put them into your captive insurance company. A captive is a subsidiary of the captive owner. [9:41] Most of the Fortune 500 companies in the United States have a captive. It allows them to arbitrage whatever's going on in the insurance marketplace. When we're having a difficult market, they put more of their premiums into the captive and rely on the captive more. [9:58] When the market softens, carriers may provide insurance at premiums that are lower than the expected losses. Organizations will buy commercial insurance all the time when the premiums are less than their projected losses. [10:14] Depending on where it is in the market, a captive has a role in an organization's risk management program. [10:27] Jim says a lot of organizations have looked to captives since 2020. We were in the midst of the pandemic, with all kinds of economic hardship. The insurance industry was in despair, as well. A lot of insurance companies cut back on the limits they were willing to offer. [10:49] Insurance companies put additional exclusions onto their insurance, so organizations had to rely on their own sophisticated ways of financing their losses. If they hadn't set up a captive, they set up a captive. If they had a captive in the past, they re-engineered it to do more. [11:15] They also used their captives to access the reinsurance marketplace. Reinsurance is insurance for insurance companies. A captive can be used as a platform to access reinsurers. [11:37] Even in difficult markets, having reinsurers involved created more competition, provided more limits, and there was more flexibility in the coverage terms. [11:48] That was when the pandemic was going on, which triggered the hardening of the market and the lack of availability of insurance. Organizations with captives relied on them and did more. Organizations without captives had captive feasibility studies done and formed captives. [12:09] Jim says the CEO of a captive should be a senior person who will monitor what's going on, fairly senior in the organization. It's not a full-time position. It takes three or four hours a month, plus board meetings. [12:46] A captive is required to have a captive manager, who is an accountant. They keep the books and interface for the captive with the regulator. The President or CEO of the captive relies on the captive manager to do a lot of the daily work. [13:09] Jim says you need a senior person involved so people take the captive seriously. The senior person is going to be the driver in reducing the severity of loss through loss prevention and loss reduction. Having a senior person is so important to the success of the captive. [13:40] There are lots of considerations when you're looking to make changes to your captive. Changes could include adding emerging types of risks, like cyber risk. If you're a hospital, a lot of medical malpractice captives have been hugely successful and have grown surplus. [14:08] Healthcare institutions are passing on some of their capitated risk exposures into their captives because they've done quite well with their medical malpractice. These risks are not correlated with each other, so there is a diversification benefit. [14:22] As you look to make these changes, you need to look at increasing risk assumptions, different attachment points on reinsurance, and changing your investment policy. You have lots of levers, and if you make changes, you need to analyze what the impact will be on your captive. [14:52] Jim talks about leaning into technology. Before 9/11, we didn't have the sophisticated software we've created in the last few years. [15:06] To look at covering all the possibilities and changing your captives, from adding new coverages to reinsurance reattachment points, was a monumental amount of actuarial work to figure out how to optimize your captive. [15:19] Recently developed software looks at all the possibilities in terms of changing your captive to optimize what you're doing. 20 years ago, Jim would spend months doing the actuarial work, working with an investment bank and charging them heavy fees. [15:39] Now, with new software, what took Jim months and months to do can be done in a matter of two to three days. The productivity today, in terms of optimizing your captive, is far greater than it was 20 years ago, because of the software that has been developed. [15:55] Jim likes that the software looks at all the risks and how these risks interact with one another. Looking at risks in a captive holistically is very important because many of these risks are hardly correlated with one another. [16:15] Looking at risks holistically, you can figure out the diversification benefit of having all of these risks within your captive, which has a major impact on the amount of economic capital that your captive will need to maintain. This software has been a game-changer. [16:34] RIMS Events! On October 1st through the 3rd, the RIMS Western Regional Conference will be held in North San Jose at the Santa Clara Marriott.

[18:08] In the spirit of it being September 30th, which is International Podcast Day, let's return to our interview with Jim Swanke! [18:22] Jim is the Director of the Risk Management and Insurance MBA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The curriculum includes technology, AI, and automation. In his classes, Jim is using the new software he discussed earlier. [18:46] Jim taught a class the day before on the principles of risk management. He talked about how risks are interrelated with each other and how you need to analyze them holistically, figuring out how they are correlated, not in siloes. [19:13] The holistic view will give you the best answer in terms of the economic capital that will be required to put into your captive. If you're analyzing risks silo by silo for each risk, that will lead you to having more economic capital in your captive than you need. [19:35] Jim has learned, in 42 years of consulting, that the CFOs in these organizations don't want to trap cash in their captives. Teaching this software to this new generation of students, they will be able to step into the roles of captive managers that the industry will need. [20:07] We're at the tip of the iceberg with AI. We're still learning in Academia what the power of AI is going to be. Jim foresees AI being very important in handling claims and in underwriting. [20:30] AI will allow commercial insurance companies to have a better way of doing their pricing and making decisions on whether or not risks should be accepted. It will also be beneficial to captives. [20:43] Jim thinks AI will advance the technology far ahead. We're just beginning to touch on some of the advantages within the insurance industry and within captives. [21:05] Jim started teaching in 2011. When University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Dan Anderson retired, Jim was chosen to teach a class on sustainability that was started by Professor Anderson. He has taught it since 2011. [21:41] At the time, some students did not think anything was going on with climate change. A couple of students stood up in class and said all of this was just made up. It was a fantasy. [22:03] Today, when Jim goes into class, students are there a half-hour early and stay late. They are very connected and working together to figure out how to reduce CO2 emissions to slow down the heating of the planet and the extreme weather events that are coming more often. [22:24] The class has evolved over the years, and the students are more engaged than they ever have been. [22:33] The students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison were the winners of the Spencer-RIMS Risk Management Challenge at RISKWORLD 2025 in Chicago. Jim knows all of those students and had a couple of them in his class yesterday. [23:04] The students won with the Huntington, West Virginia case study, a six-month project. Huntington is on the Ohio River, and with extreme weather events, flooding has become a big issue in that community. They competed with students around the world to solve the issue. [23:49] Each school's team came up with things that could be done and conducted an analysis on what they thought was the best way of handling it. The University of Wisconsin-Madison's team focused on resiliency with levees and dikes to hold back the flooding. [24:27] The four Wisconsin students presented their paper and won, out of 61 schools competing. The University of Wisconsin-Madison received $10K. The second-place university, DePaul, received $7.5K, and the third-place school, IIRM Hyderabad (past year winner), got $5K. [25:04] The University of Wisconsin-Madison team entered two other contests last year and won them both. The CICA Captive competition involved case studies around Kaneka captives. It required an essay and a PowerPoint deck. [25:52] The MBA students entered the A.M. Best competition for insurance solutions to a global issue. The students used a combination of parametric and indemnity triggers to provide insurance to the disadvantaged in the Caribbean and Latin America. [26:23] If there was hurricane damage, it would trigger a parametric to allow an amount of money to be paid immediately to these disadvantaged families. Then there would be the indemnity insurance that would look at the actual losses and true them up to the loss amount. [26:49] It involved the combination of parametrics and conventional indemnity insurance, which was noteworthy and probably pushed the team over the top. [27:11] The professor who was the advisor in the Spencer Challenge is Carl Barlett. Carl is an attorney by training, and he has the energy to work with bachelor's students. He's graduated hundreds of people out of his program over the last four or five years. [27:59] The University has Career Fairs where 60 or 70 companies will come to meet with students. That's a credit to Carl. Not a lot of companies will come to a university to meet with students. Because of the program he put together, lots of organizations want to hire students. [28:21] The University of Wisconsin-Madison business school is typically ranked number 1. [28:31] A Final Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [28:50] Since 1999, Spencer has awarded over $2.9 million to create more than 570 Risk Management Internships. The Internship Grants application process is now open through October 15th, 2025. [29:06] To be eligible, risk managers must be based in the U.S., Canada, or Bermuda. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. You can always visit SpencerEd.org, as well. [29:19] Let's Get Back to Our Interview with Jim Swanke of the University of Wisconsin-Madison! [29:46] Jim tells his students that we don't know today what the emerging risks are going to be. What we need to do is design our risk management program and keep our eyes and ears open to what is going to happen next. [30:04] Jim cites The Black Swan, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It gets into what we need to do as people of risk management and societies to try to identify the emerging risks that will impact us going forward. [30:21] In risk management, we look at the past to try to project what's going to happen in the future. We were caught by the pandemic. Very little business interruption insurance was offered. If we had been forward-thinking, we would have thought about coverages for the emerging risks. [31:19] An emerging risk after 9/11 was that insurance companies put exclusions on their insurance policies, excluding terrorism. The Federal Government passed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) and offered it as a backstop to insurance companies. [31:55] Anybody with a captive could access that reinsurance through the U.S. Treasury, using their captive insurance company. [32:23] Jim sees more employee benefits going into captives. The advantages you have in the P&C area are also in place for employee benefits. Organizations with large workers' compensation self-insurance programs are putting excess workers' compensation into captives. [32:57] Jim says you need to be nimble and on your toes. Emerging risks are going to come out over the next 10 to 15 or 20 years. Keep your eyes and ears open so when they emerge, you can deal with them to reduce the frequency and severity of loss and see how to finance them. [33:19] Jim highly recommends reading The Black Swan. It's a good way to begin to think about how you should think about emerging risks. [33:42] Jim says school is going really well. One thing he noticed this year is the diverse nature of his students. There are more disciplines within the risk management area that people are interested in. [33:56] In class recently, Jim had a group that was in the investment banking area, a group that was in HR, and a couple of students from China. There was a broad diversity in the class. [34:16] It enriches the conversation to have people coming from different places with different backgrounds and different educational experiences. It shows the power of having diversity in the classroom. It's exciting. [34:32] The class will write papers on Enterprise Risk Management and talk about captives, and more. They'll compete in the CICA Captive Competition again, to maintain their number one rating there! They're off to a great start! It's nice to see students so highly energized! [34:53] Jim says the future is bright with the students graduating from the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [35:22] Justin and others have liked Jim's broadcasting voice. Jim thanks Justin for commenting on it. [35:55] Jim's time as a DJ was 50 years ago. He recalls two or three instances of hot mikes, when some of the FCC's seven deadly words may have been spoken. He says nobody wants that, but it was a real learning experience. [36:29] Jim recalls when the studio tower was hit by lightning. Jim was alone in the radio station when it happened. Lightning bolts were flying around the building after the tower got hit. The station went off the air, and Jim had to figure out a way to put it back on the air. [36:58] Jim highly recommends to young people, if you get an opportunity to get involved with radio or TV, give it a shot, because it's a lot of fun! Justin ties it to podcasting and video blogging. [37:42] Jim likes all the music of 1976 and didn't have a favorite album. He likes Deep Purple and Bob Seger. He says there's no better songwriter than Bob Seger. There was a diversity of good music going out at that time. It was a wonderful time to be working in a radio station. [38:47] Justin is a father of two young people under 12 who like to listen to classic rock. “Dancing in the Moonlight,” by King Harvest, is a greatest hit in the family. They love Van Morrison. [39:56] On the subject of podcasting, Jim thinks there is an opportunity to develop content that helps the everyday American with their personal insurances, like homeowners, auto, health, life, and how they buy their insurances. [40:45] In class recently, the MBA students, the brightest and best, designing plans for New York investment banks and worldwide financial institutions, told Jim that they had questions about what to buy in auto policies and homeowners policies. [41:07] Jim states that an insurance podcast for the everyday American is something the industry needs to be doing. Justin suggests that members of the global RIMScast audience could pick up the baton and get to work! [41:27] Maybe it becomes part of the coursework for a class like Jim's. It could be part of a challenge, like the Spencer-RIMS Risk Management Challenge. [41:48] Jim says being able to talk about this with graduate students gives them some familiarity with what risk is, in terms of the instability of results. They can relate to it because they need to buy an auto policy or a homeowners policy. [42:03] While these coverages don't match up perfectly with what's going on in the commercial insurance marketplace, learning about them gives students a sense of what insurance is about, what risk management is about, and how to reduce the frequency and severity of losses. [42:22] Jim, it has been such a pleasure to speak with you and to pick your brain on risk management education, broadcasting, and music! Thank you so much for joining us here on RIMScast! [42:33] Good luck to you and your students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as you look to the 2026 competitions. I can only imagine they're going to do great things!

William Taylor - Jesus makes extraordinary claims—claims that demand serious evidence to back them up. In his Gospel, Luke gives us exactly that. He shows us Jesus at work, speaking with authority, acting with power, and revealing a will completely aligned with God's purposes. Through it all, Luke writes to build our confidence in who Jesus is. His goal? Certainty—and his account delivers it.

The expeditions had begun. Quraysh's caravans - loaded with the wealth stripped from the Muslims in Makkah - became the new target. The first expeditions passed without major confrontation, but each one edged closer to the inevitable clash. Then came Nakhlah. A sealed letter. A mission meant only to observe. Twelve men who suddenly found themselves standing at a crossroads: strike the caravan now and risk spilling blood in the sacred month, or let it pass and lose the chance forever. One arrow was loosed. A man fell. Captives were taken. The first spoils of war were in Muslim hands. What followed shook everything. Accusations, anger, and uncertainty filled Madinah. Even the Muslims themselves were unsure of what had just happened - until revelation from Allah ﷻ descended, clarifying the truth and turning the tide. In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explores: - The Prophet's ﷺ earliest expeditions and why only the Muhajirun participated in them. - The Nakhlah raid and its far-reaching consequences. - A tender moment that gave ‘Ali رضي الله عنه the name Abu Turab, and a chilling prophecy about his fate. - Lessons from deviation, and why the chains of scholarship protect the Ummah. A single decision at Nakhlah pushed the Muslims closer to what Quraysh had long feared: open battle.

Exodus: Setting Captives Free In captivity, in bondage, God makes a way   Sermon recorded August 31st, 2025 Caleb Click Lead Pastor Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church Birmingham, AL

Fourteen centuries of enslavement, from the Prophet Muhammad's day to modern Mauritania. Justin Marozzi's fascinating book "Captives and Companions"  has as its subject the complex history of slavery across the Islamic world, challenging simplistic narratives and revealing uncomfortable truths about power, race, and religion.Our conversation touches on how Islam didn't invent slavery but incorporated existing practices while encouraging manumission. We talk about the huge diversity of slavery - from the devastating Zanj Rebellion when East African slaves revolted in Iraq, to the paradoxical power of Mamluk slave-soldiers who became sultans. I particularly liked how Justin managed to balance the brilliance and the cruelty of the concubines at the court in Baghdad at the height of its power. We also spent a lot of time discussing eunuchs. What purpose they served, the way Islam got round the prohibition on the practice and how and why the use of eunuchs lasted so long.The racial side of things was a surprise to me. Primary sources from Islam's greatest medieval intellectuals expose deeply racist attitudes toward black Africans, while white Circassian slaves commanded premium prices. And the Barbary Corsairs provided another surprise, with a surprising number of Europeans who "turned Turk" to join Muslim pirates enslaving fellow Christians across the Mediterranean.When we reach abolition, Marozzi talked about how external Western pressure, not internal Islamic reform, primarily drove formal emancipation. And his interviews with people in Mali and Mauritania document hereditary slavery continuing today, with miserable stories of those fighting for freedom in the 21st century.You can send a message to the show/feedback by clicking here.

Exodus: Setting Captives Free In captivity, in bondage, God makes a way   Sermon recorded August 24th, 2025 Caleb Click Lead Pastor Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church Birmingham, AL

The law was given to reveal sin and point us to Christ. In Jesus, we are no longer captives under the law but adopted sons and daughters of God, redeemed and made heirs of His promise.

Send us a textIn Ephesians 4 we have a picture of the Lord Jesus ascending back to the Father in heaven. He has as the incarnate Lord entered into the spiritual battle with Satan on the cross. There he He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it. Although Satan thought he was winning in the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus he was in fact being defeated. Christ Jesus dying for his own people given to him by the Father took away their damnation and since he had no sin of his own death had no hold on him. Thus he arose from the dead on the third day in an immortal body. Some 40 days later Jesus ascended into heaven and took a host of captives with him! We are those captives if we belong to Christ Jesus by faith. He rescued us from the domain of Satan and now leads us in victorious procession into heaven to be presented to the Father in union with His own person. Thanks be to God who gives us the victory in Christ Jesus the Lord! He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it. 2 Corinthians 2:14Bible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

This is one of my favorite - if not my favorite story about Jesus. It's not a healing - it's not miraculous - it's Jesus' first sermon. In it, he pretty much frames what his whole life has been and will be all about. I'm going to help us visualize the story by describing in detail what things might have looked like. Let's talk through the movements - the scroll, the attendant, the pointer, the Moses Seat. I like it. Jesus reads from Isaiah, and says that this scripture is fulfilled in their hearing. He's claiming the whole freedom for the captives, setting prisoners free, sight to the blind stuff as what his whole life was going to be about - essentially because that's what God has been up to all along. His hometown people like what they hear but they're skeptical. Jesus moves on - and essentially preaches a sermon that condemns his own people - they should have been about this the whole time - but they haven't been. Then, the people try to kill him. Yeah, like whaaaat? Some thoughts here. First, sometimes God chooses to speak to us in unexpected ways - ways we sometimes reject. Next, sometimes anger and violence and compromising integrity are the last defense of those who have to face the truth of their crooked religious affirmations. Finally - and we talked through this in our The Bible...Really? class. Sometimes we have to read the Bible creatively. Jesus quotes Scripture - but he cuts some of it out. He leaves the violence and destruction out of it. He reads Isaiah within the context of the whole Bible, which leads to God not destroying the world, but healing it.

On this episode of Williams Mullen's Benefits Companion, host Brydon DeWitt is joined by Christian Mosier, president of BenX Consulting Group, to explore what's really driving benefit strategy for midsize employers heading into 2026. We'll explore the rising interest in self-funding and group captives, as well as the growing demand for pharmacy benefit transparency, especially in the wake of high-cost drugs. Plus, we'll talk about how benefits—like mental health support, PTO, and even contribution strategy—are becoming critical retention tools in a competitive labor market.

Kenny White and Fred Driscoll, Alliant Healthcare, is joined by Seth Madnick, Alliant Captives, to examine how captive insurance continues to shape risk financing strategies in the managed care and ancillary healthcare sectors. The team outlines key considerations for feasibility, formation and utilization, highlighting benefits such as control over coverage terms, cost efficiency and streamlined access to reinsurance markets.

Beheading the Dragon (1) (Audio) David – 6/4/2025 Marie Kelton Vision - 6/2/2025 Cutting off the Dragon's Head to set God's people free. During the meeting, I had an open vision. I was in the third heaven. And I saw a huge black dragon. (Babylon's DS Khazarians) Trying to come up into the third heaven. (Seeking to take authority that is not his) (Satan wanting to be like the Most high). Isa 14:14-17: "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol, to the uttermost parts of the pit. They that see thee shall gaze at thee, they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; that let not loose his prisoners to their home?" When he came up part way. I saw that there were saints inside of his belly, wanting to get out. The Lord said to me, "Captives in the belly of the beast." (We are in the belly of this world wide beast but as we will see The Lord of Hosts of angels, Jesus Christ, also using Cyrus will bring it down. Our part is spiritual warfare.) I saw the Lord who looked angry jump up in the air on one side of the dragon. And I saw myself with the white head covering on simultaneously do the same thing as him but on other side of the dragon. (Symbolizing the saints who are submitted to the Lord in warfare.) We both had swords in our hands and we both came down and cut the dragon's head off. (This is happening over a period of time as the DS Khazarians lose their leaders. We are to cast down the dominion of Satan and His angels who lead his earthly leaders as in Rev 12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8  and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9  And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, (As we know the old serpent had legs in the garden but the Lord cursed him to crawl on his belly and eat the dust of the earth representing flesh.) he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10  And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11  And they (the brethren or saints) overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.  The Lord Jesus over Michael's angelic forces are crushing “the old serpent” aboves head. Gen 3:14  And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15  and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.  Marie: The dragon fell from the second heaven to the first heaven, of earth, and landed on the ground. Then the Lord went down from the third heaven to the first heaven. The Lord cut open the belly of the dragon. And pulled out the captives that were still alive. (Jer 51:44  And I will execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. 45  My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of Jehovah. 46  And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye for the tidings that shall be heard in the land; for tidings shall come one year, and after that in another year shall come tidings, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. 47  Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. Her heads are facing Alliance military tribunals and execution. Meanwhile they are attempting to spread earthquake and volcanic activity to distract from revelations of their evil. Our dreams we have shared have shown this is from the DS. The Mississippi and Colorado Rivers, which were likely formed by fault lines, appear to be opening up causing sinkholes, as the plate slides west causing earthquakes off of California's coast. The sinkholes down the Mississippi go out into the Gulf. As some will remember and we saw the Mississippi start out full force in the north but as it went south you could see the bottom showing up as the fault swallowed the water, which was an amazing sight. Further up the Mississippi, The New Madrid fault zone has had many, many, smaller earthquakes, which will likely lesson the size of a bigger one to come due to stress relief. This is another place the DS planned a distraction but the Lord of Hosts is intervening. They are also attempting to start WWIII by the Khazarians attacking Iran. President Trump wisely pulled out of that. Two more attempts were planned but the Lord of Hosts stopped this. Also Nato's plan to attack Russia through the Nazii's failed, helping to tip Poland toward the MAGA right in their election. DS Khazarians were using Poland and that appears to be over shortly. The Lord of Hosts has stopped many attempts at World War. Sill we know there is a huge one coming soon.  Rev 6:3  And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 4  And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.  The War to Behead the Dragon… Judy's note on Operation Disclosure unredacted on Rummor Mill: On Mon. 2 June 2025 the Globalist Deep State Cabal Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult's Khazarian Mafia attempted to start a nuclear World War III by attacking Russian trains and airbases on the eve of Peace Talks. Such appeared to be in retaliation for Vladimir Putin's Sat. 31 May unleash of a precision drone-and-missile assault on a child trafficking Global Pedo enclave run by Globalist Deep State Cabal Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult's Khazarian Mafia in their headquarters of Ukraine. There were 51 abducted Russian children rescued in the process. Ukraine was international headquarters for the Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult. They ran Child Sacrifice rites and pedophile parties across the World, even beneath Joe Biden's 200 acre Ukraine property and beneath the White House. Noted reporter Tucker Carlson had released 2008 recordings: Obama, Clinton, Biden, Epstein, and Congress members caught raping and sacrificing children. Days later, children were rescued in the dead of night. There were DUMB Underground Tunnels that ran across the Globe, even beneath Capitol Hill—200 miles of satanic infrastructure—used to traffic and torture innocent children. JAG officers were witnessed removing hundreds of kids just after Biden's fake inauguration in 2021. Then in 2022, Russian Military unearthed U.S.-owned bioweapon labs under Biden property in Ukraine—mutilated child corpses confirmed. Trump's global alliance took action. These labs were connected to DUMBs, where children were experimented on like lab rats. Joe Biden and 464 elected traitors were arrested. Many were tried and executed at GITMO. Trump recently announced that Biden was dead and what you see now were actors, clones, digital stand-ins. Hillary Clinton? Hung for treason. The Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens—all gone. The Mexican Cartels—built by the CIA and backed by CCP/Obama/Biden—were being dismantled right now by Mexican patriots trained by Trump-aligned forces near Cheyenne Mountain. Meanwhile last Saturday 31 May 2025 over 500 Russian kamikaze drones and Klub cruise missiles had obliterated 17 black-site facilities that housed a pedophile network. It spanned Ukraine, Albania, France and German operatives who were trafficking abducted children through NATO-protected routes. Russian aircraft reportedly dropped evacuation leaflets Friday night, giving locals 24 hours to flee. At the same time, Spetsnaz special forces tracked and verified that no children remained inside, confirming the mission was surgical. Russian FSB agent Andrei Zakharov confirmed the intelligence behind the strike. “We warned civilians. We gave them time. If they stayed, they chose their side. We do not negotiate with pedophiles. We rescue our children and destroy the pigs who steal them.” This was not just military action — it was a declaration of war against the global child trafficking elite. The same cabal that operated unchecked for decades under the cover of fake wars, humanitarian fronts and Western alliances that were now bombing Russia. Putin was forced to act because the Deep State left him no choice. The Globalist Deep State Cabal Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult's Khazarian Mafia's abduction of children to torture in their Satan Worshipping pedophile Child Sacrifice rites went back centuries – and 51 Russian children had recently disappeared. Plus, Russian intelligence had intercepted Cabal plans to expand their trafficking operations into Crimea and even parts of rural Russia. It was a line in the sand — and Putin unleashed fire. Ukraine was never just about territory. It's about the kids. The elites were furious their supply chain just got bombed to dust, so they worked with UN, NATO and even, it was suspected, Deep State Cabal Elite US Congressional leaders to sneak weaponized drones into Russian villages for their attack. Afterwards they would attack Iran to make a Nuclear World War III complete. They didn't care how many people would die. All would fit into their depopulation agenda. Meanwhile, Western media stayed silent. NATO called it aggression. The UN cried about “civilian casualties” – which there were none. But no one was asking why Ukrainian soil housed black-site child prisons protected by foreign intelligence assets. This was the beginning of the end for the Satan Worshipping Cabal. The children were being avenged. In secret, Trump's Global Military Alliance was backing Putin. Both were deeply involved in a Global Currency Reset that took away the Cabal's hold over the World's monetary system and gave taxpayer money back to The People. It was all about money and the Cabal was desperate because they were losing their funding source – US Taxpayer monies which they had controlled since at least 1918. They had one option left: in the past they had made a lot of money by financing both sides of war. Another war would also result in having more control over The People – as had happened in the past. Starting a Nuclear World War III through bombing Russia and Iran was on the menu. But, this Globalist Deep State Cabal Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult's Khazarian Mafia's attempts to get the World into a nuclear war was not going to work as it had in the past, where the war strategy was based on a Global Disinformation campaign – that was now falling apart. The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), based in the U.K. and backed by the National Endowment for Democracy, had received millions of US Taxpayer dollars under the pretense of fighting foreign disinformation. It's real target was President Trump, the America First movement and any media outlet that didn't align with the Globalist narrative. GDI, the SPLC, Big Tech and intelligence-linked NGOs tracked narratives, created blacklists, manipulated search algorithms and fed justification for bans across every major platform.

Tues. 3 June 2025: BREAKING – SNOWDEN: NESARA IS ACTIVE, QFS DETONATED, TRIBUNALS RUNNING 24/7, GLOBALIST SERVERS SEIZED, AND THE FINAL EBS BROADCAST IS LOCKED …Edward Snowden on Telegram · Edward Snowden just dropped a nuclear warning: NESARA is LIVE. Trump has unleashed $10 TRILLION into the Quantum Financial System. GITMO is overflowing. Tribunals are operating day and night. Deep State financial servers across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have been seized by Space Force. And the EBS broadcast? It's finished, encrypted, and seconds from going global. · Snowden's alert isn't subtle. This is an irreversible takedown of the globalist parasite class. The fake Biden shell is still being paraded in front of cameras while Trump runs military-grade restoration ops with full Space Force integration. Snowden confirmed: every major central bank's server mirrors have been ripped offline. Rothschild, IMF, BIS — digitally neutralized. · The Quantum Financial System isn't theory. It's deployment. $10 trillion is now locked into QFS infrastructure, guarded in encrypted relay nodes beneath U.S. bases. Each dollar carries biometric clearance. Every transfer is tracked. No laundering. No escape. Snowden warns: globalists are being stripped of their blood-money pipelines. · Tribunals are LIVE. GITMO doubled in size. Flights from Europe and Africa are bringing in high-value Deep State prisoners under military guard. Executions have begun. Black sites flipped. Justice is being delivered by the JAG corps under NESARA codes. · Snowden's internal leaks prove: every "celebrity death" you're seeing is a cover op for executions. Klaus Schwab didn't retire. He was seized. Macron is missing. Zelensky gone. The dominoes are falling. · Federal purge underway. Over 50,000 traitors have been replaced with QFS-cleared patriots. DOJ, NIH, FEMA — all under forensic quantum audit. Trump's sleeper agents are now activated. The infiltrators are gone. · Gold has been moved. Snowden confirms tons of gold have been relocated from Vatican and Rothschild vaults to U.S. territory, shielded by biometric gates. These aren't banks. They're economic stargates — aligned to NESARA frequencies. · The EBS broadcast is the final blow. Quantum-patched towers, Tesla-based mobile relays, encrypted satellites. Trump, Flynn, and the generals are ready to unleash the message. Snowden says: once the switch flips, the illusion dies. · NESARA is law. The Republic is restored. The storm isn't coming. The storm is HERE. And when EBS activates —THEY BURN. G. Mon. 2 June 2025: THE NEW GLOBAL QUANTUM FINANCIAL SYSTEM …QFS on Telegram · The signing of a historic treaty by 209 nations marks the beginning of the greatest financial transition in modern history. The world is about to witness the birth of a new, fair, and gold-backed financial system under GESARA. · For decades, global currencies were manipulated to serve the few. Countries were trapped in cycles of debt, with their wealth extracted through central banks and fiat deception. That ends now. · The treaty also unlocks a Prosperity Fund to finance humanitarian projects worldwide—schools, hospitals, clean water, housing, and restoration. · A Wealth Redistribution Program will ensure that every individual on Earth receives a share. Not just countries, but people. Every QFS account is linked to the individual owner's biometric ID. Every transaction is instant, uncorrupted, and untraceable by outside forces. · The Stellar Network opens access to secure digital wallets, even in the most remote corners of the world. Individuals no longer need permission from corrupted systems to participate in the global economy. · QFS debit cards, secured by biometric verification and quantum encryption, are replacing them permanently. No more fraud. No more hidden fees. No more theft disguised as bank · The Quantum Internet is a new infrastructure immune to hacking, censorship, or surveillance. · Military units are now overseeing the logistics, security, and data coordination of the RV rollout. Secure transport of physical currency, protection of financial institutions, and quantum-level fraud prevention systems are already in motion. · All of it is being done in tandem with international regulators to ensure lawful transition. Training has been underway for months. Financial authorities, central bank whistleblowers, and White Hat insiders are guiding the shift. Military intelligence teams are tracking illicit money flows and freezing cabal assets as we speak. · The old system is disintegrating as banks collapse, payment giants are stripped of power, and corrupt financial elites are being dragged to military tribunals at GITMO. Executives are being removed, their wealth seized, and their crimes archived as evidence for tribunals that are already underway. · The banks were engines of global exploitation. Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JP Morgan—names that laundered trillions for the cabal—are being neutralized. The days of VISA, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe exploiting humanity are ending. Everything you knew about money, credit, and ownership is being rewritten from the ground up. · The treaty signed unlocks the revaluation of currencies: some down, but some up like the Iraqi Dinar, Vietnamese Dong, and Zimbabwe ZIM. H. Tues. 3 June 2025: EXPOSED: THEY USED YOUR MONEY TO DESTROY TRUMP AND SILENCE THE TRUTH …Quantum Financial System on Telegram · The regime's war on the American people is no longer hidden. Documents now confirm what many feared — a foreign-based operation, funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars, was weaponized to shut down Trump's voice, bankrupt conservative media, and control everything you see. The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), based in the U.K. and backed by the National Endowment for Democracy, received millions under the pretense of fighting foreign disinformation. But its real target was domestic — President Trump, the America First movement, and any media outlet that didn't align with the globalist narrative. · From 2021 to 2023, over $1.25 million was funneled to GDI's U.S. arm, AN Foundation. Their mission? Label conservative voices “high risk,” blacklist them from advertising, and destroy their financial infrastructure. Newsmax, Daily Wire, New York Post — all flagged, censored, and cut off from funding. The result? Over $100 million in ad revenue lost in just 15 months. The goal wasn't media reform. It was coordinated political sabotage — designed to erase truth by starving it. · Trump wasn't just censored — he was targeted in a global operation involving GDI, the SPLC, Big Tech, and intelligence-linked NGOs. These groups didn't just track narratives — they created blacklists, manipulated search algorithms, and fed justification for bans across every major platform. All of it approved behind closed doors, protected under the illusion of “saving democracy.” What they really built was a digital guillotine — and you were the target. · This wasn't just a domestic plot. The same suppression models are now being exported globally. The State Department's Global Engagement Center is training foreign governments in censorship protocols. The UN, WHO, Google, and AI coalitions are replicating it worldwide. What started as “fact-checking” has evolved into total narrative control. What they couldn't kill with bullets, they now bury with algorithms. But the exposure of GDI cracks the system wide open. The question now isn't whether this is happening. The question is how much longer the people will tolerate it. RESTORED REPUBLIC: I. Sun. 1 June 2025: Global Military Alliance …They branded me a traitor. History will call me a hero.

And Russia, Iran — they're in on it. I believe China was shut down by the Supreme commander of heavens hosts of angels. · Hegseth is more than Secretary of Defense.

Blood extraction chambers. Shipment crates labeled for “diplomatic transport.” Hundreds of sedated children rescued. Israeli operatives killed on site. · THE MONSTER UNDERGROUND This wasn't just war.

Today on The Daily Nugget, Mike unpacks Romans 6:5–7 and the truth that Jesus came to free us from the prison of sin, not visit us in it. Using Brooks from The Shawshank Redemption as a picture of how we often grow comfortable in captivity, Mike challenges us to embrace the freedom Christ offers. If we've died with Christ, we're no longer slaves—so let's stop living like we're still behind bars.

We shall focus on some of the unique features of this document.The Temple is completed on the 3rd Adar in the 6th year of Darius. It took 4 years to complete.The Jews - who still describe themselves as the "Captives of Yehudah" or possibly the "Returnees of Yehudah " - engaged in a celebratory Pesach and dedicated the Temple in a 7-day celebration.

Send us a textMany Christians want to be obedient and used by God, but they don't know where to begin. YOU CAN START RIGHT HERE! With this simple prayer template, you can begin to set the captives free. Yes, there is more to learn, but no ministry ever began without starting.

Go free someone from anger, bitterness, or depression today in Jesus' name!Set Captives Free TODAY with this simple prayer template.You start to fulfill your calling to set captives free TODAY by using this simple prayer template, which applies to EVERYONE. You may need to begin with yourself. Start by asking these questions:Are you angry with your Mom, Dad, grandparents, spouse, ex-spouse, ex-boyfriend, girlfriend, children or siblings? Do you have any anger towards God or yourself?(If the answer is no, congratulate the person and move on to the next. If the answer is yes, choose one of the above persons and move to step #2).Ask them to repeat this prayer: "In the name of Jesus"…I renounce…my anger towards_______. I have anger towards _______ because…." (Let the person repeating the prayer fill in the blank space after "because" with their own words. Encourage them to be as honest and explicit as possible. Only what is truly confessed can be released. After they list their reasons for being angry, move on to the next step.) "Lord Jesus, I forgive, and I bless (the perpetrator)______." "And with Your help and Your power, Jesus, I choose today to give you all of my anger towards ______. Please set me free from this anger and cleanse me from its effects. Finally, have the person close their eyes and envision Jesus. Next, have them imagine putting all their anger toward that individual in a box or a bag and then give it to Jesus. Ask the person to tell you what they "see" Jesus do with the bag or box. What happens next will be remarkable.This simple prayer template is an extremely practical way for you to fulfill the great commission TODAY and to complete the ministry the Apostle Paul describes as "the ministry of reconciliation."Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 1 Corinthians 5:20 NASBSupport the show

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

In this episode, Dennis Carlson sits down with Kristen Rivers, SVP of Sales at ParetoHealth. They discuss how mission-aligned benefits consultants and employers can access premium healthcare solutions typically reserved for large companies through captive healthcare models, highlighting the limitations of traditional fully-insured and level-funded plans while emphasizing the value of actionable data transparency and stronger contractual protections available through alternative funding approaches. Key Takeaways The healthcare market is at a watershed moment where employers are seeking alternatives to unsustainable cost increases in traditional fully-insured plans, with many consultants becoming catalysts for this change. Contrary to popular belief, level-funded plans are often "fully insured, repackaged with a little more data" but without the ability to meaningfully act on that data to control costs. Pareto Health's model provides stronger contractual protections (no-new laser provision and 30% rate cap for the entire membership duration) while giving employers access to cost-saving levers like alternative drug sourcing and patient assistance programs.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host arts and culture editor Jessica Steinberg speaking with Idit Ohel, mother of hostage Alon Ohel. Ohel talks about her son, who was taken captive by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, from the Nova music festival. Ohel discusses what she knows about the injuries sustained by Alon on October 7, including shrapnel in his eye, and she firmly demands that he receive medical attention. She says she deeply believes that despite his injuries and captivity, he is surviving and will continue to do so until he's released home. She explains what she's heard from released hostages Eli Sharabi, Or Levy and Eliya Cohen, who were kept captive with Alon, and we hear how Alon endures, playing imaginary piano on his chest as a musician, whistling favorite songs and talking about his family. Ohel says that her son, like her, has always meditated, and she assumes he is still doing so as one of the many methods that has allowed him to survive so many months underground. She discusses what it's like to mark another Passover without her son, and the need for the entire country and Jewish nation to rally behind the remaining hostages, in order to push the government toward an extension of the hostage deal. So this week, we ask hostage mother Idit Ohel, what matters now? What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.
