Edition No191 | 17-07-2025 - Putin's Economic Terminal Spiral — More Guns, No Butter, and Not Much of anything Else. This is what happens when you launch a war, alienate the civilized world, and try to run a dark-ages style empire on barrels of crude and a bunch of Telegram propagandists.Let's dig into the quiet implosion of the Russian economy – rampant inflation, falsified numbers, and a military-industrial complex so bloated it's eating the country alive. Let's start with the basics: Russia isn't just in a war—it's in a payment crisis. But unlike in the 1990s, the regime is denying it and trying to falsify economic figures to cover up the sale of the crisis. And unlike that 1990s, no one is coming to help in the West. Some presume that China and India will continue to support Russia, but those relationships are far shallower and more transactional than many assume. China will not be bailing out the Russian economy. ----------DESCRIPTION:Putin's Economic Terminal Spiral: The Imminent Collapse of Russia's EconomyThis episode delves into the severe economic crisis facing Russia as a result of its ongoing war and isolation from the global community. It explores rampant inflation, falsified economic data, and a massive military-industrial complex that's consuming the country's resources. With a focus on ghost payments, the depletion of the Sovereign Wealth Fund, and the struggle to maintain civilian infrastructure, the video highlights the unsustainable financial bubble that Putin's regime has built. The episode also discusses the broader implications for Russia's future as Western sanctions bite harder and public discontent rises.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to the Series00:08 Putin's Economic Terminal Spiral00:50 The Quiet Implosion of the Russian Economy01:08 Russia's Payment Crisis02:34 The Ministry of Lies and Deferred Liabilities03:26 Military Spending and Civilian Struggles04:15 Inflation and Budget Deficit06:27 Western Sanctions and Import Substitution08:22 The Desperate Gamble08:46 Conclusion: The Looming Collapse----------LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w501eh8QGTQ&t=156s ----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Ecclesiastes 8:1-6 (KJV) Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed. 2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. 3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. 4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. 6 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. Ecclesiastes 7:1 (KJV) A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

What if the biggest obstacle to your success isn't external circumstances, but the mental barriers you've inherited without question? In this provocative conversation, Sean Croxton reveals how challenging tribal thinking and limiting beliefs transformed him from a broke personal trainer to a multi-millionaire entrepreneur—and why he walked away from it all to rebuild on his own terms. From deleting millions of YouTube views in a moment of self-doubt to losing friendships over refusing to stay silent, Sean shares the real cost of independent thinking and why most people choose comfort (even when it's miserable) over uncertain possibility. If you've ever felt trapped by others' expectations or wondered why you keep sabotaging your own progress, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about success, wealth, and what it really takes to live authentically and follow the whispers of your heart. Essential listening for anyone ready to break free from a self-made mental prison and build your life on your own terms.

Paul Chan is an artist, writer, and former publisher. For this episode of Momus: The Podcast, Chan's self-made automated doppelganger reads “Sade Today (after Judith Butler),” a piece he wrote for Evergreen (Spring/Summer 2025). He speaks to Sky Goodden about the implications of AI on writers (though they agree that criticism could present a special resistance) and his recent efforts to increase accessibility to his writing through audio recordings, while “hemlocking” its content against AI co-option. Chan also discusses the challenges of independent publishing, how he perceives writing as a form of daring, and how writing informs making. But in either case, he says, “ Choices are real choices when they're neither given nor self-evident. That, to me, is the core of what it means to think creatively.” Thanks to this episode's sponsor, Plug In ICA, for supporting our work.Thanks to Paul Chan for his contribution to this season.And thanks to Jacob Irish, our editor, and Chris Andrews, for production assistance.
I recently watched the new Superman movie, and one moment stood out to me — when Clark Kent questions his identity, and Jonathan Kent reminds him: “Your choices. Your actions. That's what makes you who you are.” It made me think of the ideas I'd just been reading in positive psychology: how our past doesn't define our happiness, but our present mindset and agency do. In this episode, we explore why even Superman isn't immune to self-doubt, and how reclaiming your choices opens the door to authentic flow.✅ Key Takeaways: ✔ Your choices, not your past, define who you are.✔ Even Superman wrestles with identity and agency.✔ Flow happens when you live from presence, not autopilot.✔ Cognitive reframing helps break old mental loops.✔ True strength is aligning action with meaning, here and now.

Story at-a-glance Google slashed traffic to Mercola.com by 99.9%, replacing years of trusted content with pharma-backed search results that promote junk food and drugs as "healthcare" solutions A new term, “nonaginate,” describes Google's tactic of wiping out 90% or more of alternative health websites' visibility — a practice now threatening hundreds of holistic sources Under the guise of safety, Google uses vague policies like EEAT and YMYL to bury licensed doctors and researchers who question mainstream pharmaceutical narratives Google's so-called “quality raters” depend on Wikipedia for judgments about credibility — even though its anonymous editors openly oppose natural health and block factual corrections To protect your health freedom and privacy, I recommend ditching all Google products — from search to Gmail — and switching to platforms that respect your data and independence
Are you following your intuition—or just letting fear call the shots? In this episode, we break down how to recognize the difference between your heart voice and your fear voice. You'll learn the key traits that separate true inner guidance from the voices shaped by ego, trauma, and conditioning. I share a simple framework to help you identify which voice is speaking in the moment, plus a powerful mental analogy that will change how you relate to inner dialogue forever. We'll also get into how meditation plays a role in turning up the volume on your heart voice—and how your life shifts when you stop outsourcing your big decisions. If you've ever felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or wondered why your “gut” sometimes leads you astray, this one's for you.Listen in, and start rewiring your internal compass today.Send us a text message.

This week was pretty special for me; I had the absolute joy and delight of attending my son's graduation ceremony. Watching him receive his BA honours in computer games development was not just a proud parent moment, but a celebration of dedication and achievement. You could feel the excitement and emotions in the air, alongside the bittersweet farewells, as all these budding talents prepare to embrace new beginnings. This episode delves deeply into the theme of choice and how it shapes our lives at every turn. Just like my son, who's stepping into the unpredictable yet thrilling world of the games industry—where networking and perseverance are key—we all reach points where the path ahead requires us to make choices. Whether transitioning from university or facing midlife changes, the necessity of deciding our own directions becomes crucial. I've been there too, shifting from marketing into something completely different during COVID, embracing new choices that align more with my passions. It got me pondering, how often do we consciously make choices about our current place in life? Are we in jobs, relationships, or routines by choice, or by lack of choosing? It's interesting because not choosing is also a choice, isn't it? We explore this idea in today's podcast. We consider what success means and how to become intentional with our choices. Choices can be daunting, right? Even selecting from a menu at a restaurant can be a struggle, let alone making life-altering decisions! However, with a little introspection and the right tools, we can navigate more effectively and align our choices with our true desires. Join me as we discuss making choices, big and small, and ponder where those choices might lead us. And hey, remember, the key to any great journey is movement—whether you choose to choose, or choose not to choose, the power is in your hands.

Today's Lake and Shed framed conversation is about J. K. Rowling's third Cormoran Strike novel, Career of Evil. Nick and John debate whether Rowling crossed the line of “violence porn” that she worried she had approached and they discuss why, in one of the few surveys of Serious Strikers, Career seems unique among these mysteries in being considered the best or the very worst of the set. The ‘Lake' point that Nick explores is Rowling's personal experience of violence against women and her determination to push back against the misogynist age she believes we have been living in for decades. John details the litany of crimes committed against women in the third Strike novel and suggests that in time, when we have the series as a whole, appreciation of the artistry involved will counter-balance the shock first-time readers feel on entering this boucherie.New to the Lake and Shed Kanreki Birthday series? Here's what we're doing:On 31 July 2025, Joanne Murray, aka J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, will be celebrating her 60th birthday. This celebration is considered a ‘second birth' in Japan or Kanreki because it is the completion of the oriental astrological cycle. To mark JKR's Kanreki, Dr John Granger and Nick Jeffery, both Nipponophiles, are reading through Rowling's twenty-one published works and reviewing them in light of the author's writing process, her ‘Lake and Shed' metaphor. The ‘Lake' is the biographical source of her inspiration; the ‘Shed' is the alocal place of her intentional artistry, in which garage she transforms the biographical stuff provided by her subconscious mind into the archetypal stories that have made her the most important author of her age. You can hear Nick and John discuss this process and their birthday project at the first entry in this series of posts: Happy Birthday, JKR! A Lake and Shed Celebration of her Life and Work.The ten HogwartsProfessor birthday videos posted thus far in this series can be read at the links below:* A Lake and Shed Reading of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone* A Lake and Shed Reading of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* A Lake and Shed Reading of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban* A Lake and Shed Reading of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* A Lake and Shed Reading of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix* A Lake and Shed Reading of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince* A Lake and Shed Reading of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows* A Lake and Shed Reading of Casual Vacancy* A Lake and Shed Reading of Cuckoo's Calling* A Lake and Shed Reading of The SilkwormTomorrow?

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by InvestorKit's Arjun Paliwal to uncover five key traits that set successful property investors apart. The duo highlights the importance of diversification across different asset types and locations to reduce risk and strengthen portfolios. Rather than getting caught up in minor property details, top investors focus on developing and sticking to a solid overall strategy. They also prioritise cash flow impact over rigid yield percentages, allowing them to seize a wider range of opportunities. Acting decisively when ready, instead of waiting for perfect market conditions, is another hallmark of success. Additionally, building a trusted team of professionals, such as agents and accountants, provides invaluable guidance and support. Arjun stresses that these traits are relevant for investors at every stage, helping them build resilient, adaptable portfolios.

Krystle is hosting solo this week with Jen Wagner, board-certified obstetric anesthesiologist, and Bethany Scott, birth doula, and co-hosts of The C-Section Experience Podcast! Jen and Bethany provide education and support for c-section mamas with the goal of improving c-section experiences for all women. With Jen having had 1 c-section and 1 VBAC and Bethany having had 3 c-sections like Krystle, this episode is full of tips and stories to help you feel empowered and in charge of your c-section experience!Going into birth knowing you will have a planned c-section can still come with feelings of anxiety. Jen and Bethany describe methods like the “3-3-3” and others that you and your partner can do while waiting for your procedure to help reduce those pre-surgery jitters. And if your vaginal birth ends in a c-section for reasons Jen describes, utilize the same coping skills you used successfully during your labor. Not knowing how labor may go, Jen and Bethany explain why they like expecting mamas to create a “contingency plan”... like your birth plan for your vaginal delivery, what types of things would you like for a c-section? Immediate skin-to-skin? Breastfeeding in the operating room? YOU have the power of choice with these types of things! We completely acknowledge that having a c-section, whether planned or unplanned, may cause a lot of grief - which is a normal feeling! If you plan on having more children, consider the types of things you would like to do differently with your next delivery and include it in your contingency plan. Talking through your birth with your safe people can really help process the events of your birth too. Recovering physically from a c-section can also be HARD! Jen, Bethany, and Krystle put their experiences and professional preparedness to work to bring you tips for staying on top of your pain, do's and don'ts of abdominal binders, how to utilize a helper once you discharge home from the hospital, plus so many great breastfeeding tips!!If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @thecsxpodcast and @expectingandempowered.

In 1890, amateur ornithologist Eugene Schieffelin decided to release sixty European starlings into New York City’s Central Park. While there were likely several introductions of the species, Schieffelin’s released starlings resulted in the first successful documented nesting. Now there are roughly eighty-five million of the birds flapping across the continent. Unfortunately, starlings are invasive, pushing out native bird populations, spreading disease to cattle, and causing an estimated $800 million annually in damage. Schieffelin couldn’t have imagined the damage his choice would cause. Choices can have massive consequences. Though warned, Adam and Eve couldn’t have envisioned the disastrous ramifications of their choice on all creation. God had told them they were “free to eat from any tree in the garden” (Genesis 2:16), save one, the tree in “the middle of the garden” (3:3). But deceived by that wily serpent, “[Eve] took some and ate it” (v. 6). Then Adam followed, also choosing to eat the fruit God forbade. So much destruction, heartbreak, and ruin because of one choice. Every time we ignore God’s wisdom and choose another path, we invite calamity. It may seem that our choice is insignificant or only affects us; however, our narrow understanding or fleeting desires can easily lead us into a world of trouble. Choosing God’s way, though, leads us to life and flourishing.
Byron was a gem from start to finish, but really, isn't everyone who is on this show really spectacular? (You don't have to answer that, just nod your head and smile!) But Byron really is beyond fabulous...not only did he overcome a life-long stutter that had him hiding in office jobs, he is also hard at work trying to parse out the meaning of life-through all that he does, in his philosophical work, his hypnotherapy, his writing...pretty much everywhere Byron goes, he is trying to figure out JUST WHY EVERYTHING EXISTS! And we do talk a little bit about that, but truly, it is his miracle story that is particularly enchanting...HINT: It's all about CHOICES, or is it MISTAKES, or is it STUBBORNNESS, (you're just gonna have to listen!) To read up about Byron on his website click here! To check out Byron on his other pod, BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour click here! (they discuss "H" for Heaven in this one!) PLEASE CONSIDER WRITING A REVIEW OR LEAVING A RATING...it would make my heart SO HAPPY! Your bit of beauty after this very devastating week (the news has all been grim) is something simple, this opening scene from the movie "Love Actually" where we see strangers greeting their loved ones at the airport. The amount of care, of feeling and of just insane LOVE in this clip heals my soul each and every time. It helps however, to get on the right plane, though, so you can actually get to the right airport, so that you can, indeed, give great big hugs when you arrive!
Weird Al Yankovic joins Samantha Bee to discuss their unique meet-cute, and how their interview came to be due to a scam gone right. Al tells Sam about how he’s actually happy with all the choices he’s made in life except (other than wishing he had bought Apple stock) and yet he agonizes over little decisions—especially when editing music videos. He reveals that the ultimate dig at him is when people say he’s talented enough to do “real music”, why record companies beg for Christmas albums, and turning down an opportunity to open for Duran Duran at Madison Square Garden.
