Would you like to be better at getting yourself to move? When you have an overall desire, but find yourself struggling to take the first step and just get going? I think we all do in certain areas of our lives and from what I experience it is getting worse. So I've brought on an expert and we're going to exaggerate the point to help us better conceptualize what is happening when we don't move and progress, and some different ways to go about it. Michele Rigby Assad was a normal person like everyone else. But through some circumstances you're about to hear of, she became a CIA operative and spent a decade working in the Middle East. She took part in the high-stakes missions you would expect from working in the CIA, where your life or other's lives are literally on the line. The place of danger they referred to as the X, and their training was that no matter what, they had to be able to get off the X. Michele has outlined the concepts with some intriguing stories, in a new book titled, Get Off The X: C.I.A. Secrets For Conquering Obstacles And Achieving Your Life's Mission. In this conversation, we don't spend time talking about the CIA, if you want to view that, she says go watch Homeland or The Agency. We talk about how the concepts of getting off the X relate to all of us. We live lives that feel high-stakes for us, and we need to…move. Progress. Get off the X's we are stuck in. I found Michele's guidance helping me not feel I needed more motivation or inspiration, I just needed to have some pragmatic tools and perspectives to employ.

What if your consciousness could travel beyond your body—into other dimensions, past lives, or even alternate timelines? In this episode, we explore the mind-bending world of the CIA's Gateway Project and the work of Robert Monroe and his Monroe Institute (deep in the Appalachian mountains), where sound frequencies and meditation were used to unlock the mysteries of the universe. Yes, this was a real, government-funded exploration of astral projection, energy manipulation, and multidimensional consciousness. We talk about alternate planes from the “Looosh Farm” to the “Serpent Corridor”, and what the CIA documents say about reality potentially being a hologram. You'll hear accounts of out of body experiences, encountering guardian spirits and being watched by something with glowing red eyes after a Gateway session. Other stories include feeling pulled into planes, sudden awareness of past lives, and profound emotional shifts that last for years. Is it meditation? Is it science? Is it witchcraft? Maybe all three. This one will have you questioning everything — and possibly shopping for recliners to try the Gateway Tapes yourself.

During the Second World War, members of the United States Marine Corps coined a sarcastic acronym to explain a state of chaos and confusion: SNAFU, or situation normal, all fouled (or a saltier f-word) up. More than 80 years later, Ed Helms began to explore history's greatest own-goals. And now Helms comes to Commonwealth Club World Affairs in Silicon Valley to share his absurdly entertaining look at some of history's greatest face plants. He'll draw on his new book—conveniently titled SNAFU: The Definitive Guide to History's Greatest Screwups—to enlighten us about some of history's darker moments. Helms is an actor, writer, producer and comedian who was a correspondent for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” He portrayed Andy Bernard in the celebrated sitcom “The Office” and Stu Price in The Hangover film trilogy. He has won awards for his performances and for his comedy writing. And—you can sense a theme here—he is the host of the podcast “SNAFU with Ed Helms.” From nuclear weapons on the moon to training cats to be CIA spies to turning the weather into a weapon—Helms has the inside scoop on the greatest foul-ups of modern times.

Charlie English is the author of "The CIA Book Club: The Best Kept Secret of the Cold War". In this episode he talks about a little-known chapter in Cold War history where the CIA smuggled banned books into the Eastern Bloc in an effort to challenge communist ideology. Charlie shares how the CIA ran this literary operation for over three decades, why even detective novels had political weight in Soviet-ruled countries, and what it meant to grow up under state censorship so tight you needed permission to buy a sheet of paper.
In this week's “we told you so” edition, we kick things off with the latest AI faceplant—go ahead, Google “Is it 2025?” and try not to spit coffee on your keyboard. Meanwhile, over at Meta, Zuckerberg's brilliant idea to loosen content moderation has, shocker, led to more harassment and violent content. Elsewhere in tech dystopia: Texas is trying to ground all minors off social media, Germany wants to slap a 10% tax on Silicon Valley, and Anthropic is handing out free search powers and a board seat to Netflix's Reed Hastings. Because nothing says “trusted AI governance” like a guy who greenlit Love Is Blind.But wait, crypto bros are having their own John Wick arc: a luxury townhouse, a missing wallet, and possibly an NYPD detective tangled in a real-life “crypto millionaire torture” flick. As if that isn't enough, Trump Media is fundraising to buy $2.5B in Bitcoin—and DJT stock promptly nosedived. Also feuding this week: Marjorie Taylor Greene vs. Grok, because nothing screams Christian values like rageposting at Elon's AI. And speaking of Elon, he's now in bed with Telegram to the tune of $300 million, which we're sure won't be a disinformation factory.MEDIA CANDY is stacked: from the Murderbot diaries to a My Dinner with Andre rewatch, and yes, the Wheel of Time got axed after 3 seasons. Apps? Opera Neon is a UI fever dream, Starling Home Hub adds more smarts to your house, and WhatsApp finally arrives on iPad—welcome to 2016. In THE DARK SIDE, Dave Bittner brings the latest digital dirt, including the CIA's bonkers Star Wars fan site op. And if you're hitting the library, grab The AI Con or something more romantic—like Love, Sex and the Alien Apocalypse.

USS Portland fires DEW, Direct Energy Weapon, downing unmanned drone. - German Scientist, Hermann Oberth, brought up time travel in the 1950s - Black lenses on aliens eyes were night vision - “why did the aliens have a cutting device?.. Used by the aliens on our livestock” - “we had to be very careful with the DEW weapon” - “It came from the laser family” - “we discussed time travel.. Oberth…believed it was possible” - “we've developed less than 5%”…of the technology - “the extraterrestrial blends with the capacitor” - “image intensifiers, fiber optics, super tenacity fabrics, lasers, alloys, micro miniaturization, particle beams, energy weapons…” - “there were hand imprinted panels”…”the entire vehicle functioned just like a giant capacitor” - “gravity was being folded”…”the pilots became part of the electrical circuitry of the vehicle..an extension of their own body” - William J Birnes - “a civilian agency…for funnelling military missions into a civilian organized program” - “NASA was a way for the CIA to take control of the space program” Another revelation from U.

In Episode 358 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright unravel the threads of global propaganda, economic upheaval, and narrative control as the old world order teeters on collapse. They begin with Trump's Memorial Day speech and transition into his escalating economic strategy, highlighting a new 10% universal tariff, a push for nuclear energy dominance, and the strategic move to position Bitcoin inside retirement portfolios. The duo breaks down the mainstream meltdown over these policies, framing the reactions as signs of desperation from a dying regime. They also tackle the CIA's aggressive push to seed anti-Trump narratives internationally, with a spotlight on a UK Guardian op-ed warning foreign leaders about a second Trump term. From the debt ceiling theater to new revelations around the DOJ, auto-pen scandals, and the medical establishment's crumbling credibility, Jon and B.B. argue we're watching the “controlled demolition” of a corrupt system. Along the way, they explore media framing techniques, the military's evolving role, and what it means to hold the line as truth-tellers in the digital age. This episode is a high-octane mix of strategy, symbolism, and straight talk for those navigating the end of the old world—and preparing for the new one.

Un proyecto militar en combinación con la CIA exploró la visión remota con fines estratégicos. El objetivo era aprovechar habilidades mentales para obtener inteligencia en conflictos, y hubo resultados palpables: algunos psíquicos lograron hallar aviones espías soviéticos perdidos o describir instalaciones de armas que luego se confirmaron por satélite. ¿Por qué, entonces, se decidió cerrar el programa Stargate?

The digital age has brought about a host of challenges to individuals and organizations that would have been inconceivable only years ago. This week on The Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine talks to Dr. Eric Cole, a former CIA hacker and celebrated authority on cybersecurity. Eric guides listeners through the rapidly changing landscape of cyber threats, digital security and advancements in artificial intelligence. Eric uncovers the tactics that cybercriminals—-sometimes state sponsored—-use to target businesses and individuals alike. He'll explain how these criminals are leveraging new technology to do more than just steal money, but in fact harvest voices, identities, and trust. In addition, Dr. Cole offers practical safeguards for identifying scam attempts and delves into the importance of using apps from trusted sources, and having out-of-band communication with family. He and Mark dissect the way AI is challenging us to reckon with a future where machines may outperform humans in decision making and strategy. Key Takeaways: Cybersecurity As a Global Battle: Recognize how the majority of cybersecurity attacks are coming from with no extradition, and even from government backed platforms. Without unified laws here and internationally, the threat level will only get bigger. AI Replacing Humans: Learn how AI is no longer just a helpful tool. We're at a tipping point and companies need strong data segmentation and clear risk postures in order to adapt. The Future of Money: Though Bitcoin and state-backed crypto-currencies may seem convenient, realize how as hackers become more sophisticated, they carry massive risk. Eric Cole, PhD, is an industry-recognized security expert with over 20 years of hands-on experience in consulting, training, and public speaking. As the founder and CEO of Secure Anchor Consulting, Dr. Cole focuses on helping customers prevent security breaches, detect network intrusions, and respond to advanced threats. In addition, he is a sought-after expert witness and a 2014 inductee to the InfoSecurity Hall of Fame. Dr. Eric Cole is the author of several books, including Advanced Persistent Threat: Understanding the Danger and How to Protect Your Organization; Hackers Beware: The Ultimate Guide to Network Security; Insider Threat: Protecting the Enterprise from Sabotage, Spying, and Theft; and Hiding in Plain Sight. With over 20 patent applications, Dr. Cole is on the cutting edge of cyber security research and development.

What happens when even the most powerful leaders pull every lever they've been taught to use—bonuses, metrics, training—and nothing changes? That's the question that set Mike Mears, former CIA Chief of Human Capital, on a mission to rethink leadership from the inside out. In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mike joins Mahan Tavakoli to share deeply practical insights on why traditional leadership systems fall short—and what truly drives performance and innovation.As the founder of the CIA's Leadership Academy, Mike brings a unique combination of experience in intelligence, government, and corporate leadership. His ideas are grounded in neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and decades of operational leadership. Rather than focusing on leadership theory, he focuses on how leaders can create psychological certainty for their people—even amid external volatility.Throughout the conversation, Mike challenges long-held assumptions, including the overreliance on performance systems and leadership training that don't account for human nature. He reveals why emotional clarity and trust are more valuable than process, and how small, consistent actions from leaders—like weekly check-ins and genuine recognition—can transform team dynamics and unlock discretionary effort.This conversation is a must-listen for CEOs, board members, and senior leaders who want to move beyond abstract leadership models and build real engagement, alignment, and trust. With memorable stories and tested frameworks, Mike Mears offers a practical guide to leadership that resonates at every level of an organization.Actionable TakeawaysHear how a senior CIA leader's frustration with ineffective levers led to a deep reevaluation of leadership systemsLearn why many leadership tools—still rooted in industrial-era thinking—don't reflect how the brain actually worksDiscover how emotional uncertainty impacts employee performance and what leaders can do to restore clarity and directionUnderstand the behavioral progression that effective leaders follow: safety, trust, clarity, and only then challengeLearn why short, consistent check-ins often outperform more complex performance systemsHear Mike's candid reflection on the value of feedback—and why he wishes he had given far more of it as a leaderExplore how “soft accountability” can help embed new leadership habits without adding bureaucracyUnderstand the long-term damage of poor leadership selection—and why choosing the right managers matters more than developing the wrong onesLearn why culture is local, and why the team leader—not the organization—defines most of the employee experienceDiscover how to align leadership actions with human nature to build teams that perform better under pressure and changeConnect with Mike MearsMike Mears LinkedIn Mike Mears Website Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comPaul Bonacci actually won a million-dollar lawsuit against Lawrence 'Larry' King. In his deposition, he claimed that he was inducted into a government program called Project MONARCH where they purposely split his personality through trauma, Satanism, and abuse so he could be molded into a puppet for their schemes. If you are well researched in this area, you will understand that someone like Sirhan Sirhan, the man who they used as a patsy in the Kennedy assassination, was clearly under the effects of a similar program. MK Ultra splits a person's personality so they can be given orders and then never remember what happened. It's the perfect way for them to commit a crime. CIA psychologist actually admitted that they could "create" a long gunmen in six months in declassified documents. Paul Bonacci went into great detail during his deposition. He also claimed that there was high level Satanism in these projects including blowing the whistle about the Temple of Sett."MONARCH was a program that used children to make multiple personalities, for future use, as spies and as a way to take over the United States government.When I first got involved, I was mo**ested by an airman at an air force base involved in MONARCH. His job was to recruit kids from the local neighborhood who they could make disassociate by doing traumatic things to them at a very young age."This is where his personality split occurred, who he called Wesley."If one was captured...the person that was captured, would go into a personality that would have no useful information.

This Memorial Day we take a moment to remember the 350,000+ American women who served in uniform during the war, in every service branch, in every combat theater, and in nearly two-thirds of the available military occupations at the time. Their service ranged from critical support roles flying planes across the country, drawing maps to help men get through Normandy, codebreaking, and building & maintaining the behind-the-scenes infrastructural work that made the heroics possible. Sharon is joined by CIA military analyst, WWII expert, and debut author, Lena Andrews, to unveil the scale and scope of what women in uniform contributed during WWII.

In this episode of The Art of Charm, we sit down with Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener and Professor Christian van Nieuwerburgh, authors of Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection. Together, they unpack a new framework for transforming your conversations—not with better scripts, but with sharper intention. Drawing from psychology, coaching, and decades of research, we explore the six listening motivations, why “active listening” falls short, and how to avoid the silent killers of connection—like half-listening, politeness, and certainty. Whether you're leading a team, navigating tough conversations, or simply tired of being misunderstood, this episode is a masterclass in making people feel truly seen, heard, and valued. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Introduction [00:03:08] What is Radical Listening and how does it go beyond active listening? [00:06:49] Six listening intentions—and how they change everything [00:09:55] How to set the stage for hard conversations with appreciation, not authority [00:17:34] Why quick, genuine care matters more than long, empty check-ins [00:25:17] The myth of being a “great listener” and what most high performers miss [00:34:33] Why watching yourself on video can instantly improve your listening [00:38:12] What does “listening for” versus “listening to” actually mean? [00:45:33] The real cost of half-listening—and why it breaks trust [00:51:26] How to interject without interrupting—and why it's actually radical empathy Episode Takeaways: You're not being ignored because you're unimportant—people are stuck in half-attention. Flip the script by modeling radical listening. Start with intention. Every conversation is a choice—validate, influence, learn, support. Know what you're there to do. Interruptions aren't rude if they're respectful. Interject to amplify, not hijack. In your leadership, it's not what you say—it's how you show you care. A 60-second check-in can change someone's entire day. Half-listening is worse than not listening at all. Either be fully present—or ask to talk later.The best listeners aren't born—they're trained. Develop your awareness like a skill, not a trait. A Word From Our Sponsors Tired of awkward handshakes and collecting business cards without building real connections?

An agent named Alexander has gone rogue and plans to steal a list of all undercover agents to sell to a buyer. The mission seems to be going according to plan.After Alexander puts the list on a floppy disk, everything goes south. The agents begin getting killed—first Coach Bombay, then Jim Phillips. Even Ethan's wife, Claire, is killed. To make matters worse, when Ethan finds Alexander, he's already dead, and there's nothing in his pocket.In a haze, Ethan contacts the IMF and ends up meeting with the director, Eugene. Eugene explains that the entire mission was a decoy. Apparently, there's an arms dealer known as “Max,” and the operation to steal the list was part of a mission called Job 314. Everyone was supposed to die. Eugene is suspicious of Ethan—especially since $120,000 mysteriously appeared in Ethan's bank account. Realizing he's in trouble, Ethan uses a piece of explosive gum (courtesy of Coach Bombay) to blow his way out and escape.Ethan starts doing some research and reads the Bible, finding Job 3:14. He begins sending coded emails to every address he thinks could belong to Max.He's shocked when Claire shows up alive. Apparently, Jim warned her just before his death that the mission was compromised, so she faked her death to escape.Ethan eventually gets a reply from Max with instructions on when to meet. He's picked up in a car and taken to her—turns out Max is a woman. Ethan tells her the list she has is fake. She doesn't believe him, but he warns her that inserting it will trigger a tracking device. When it turns out he's telling the truth, Ethan offers her the real list in exchange for $10 million and the identity of the mole behind Job 314.Max agrees and gives Ethan a $150,000 cash advance, which he uses to assemble a team of blacklisted agents, including computer expert Luther and pilot Franz.The new team begins planning an elaborate mission to break into the CIA at Langley. In an absolutely iconic scene, Ethan is lowered from the ceiling to avoid pressure sensors and successfully steals the real list on a disc.Back at the safe house, Franz tries to take the disc, but Ethan pulls off some sleight of hand and confuses him. He decides to trust Luther with the real disc.Ethan learns that Eugene has arrested his parents. He calls him from a payphone and, after hanging up, sees Jim Phillips—somehow still alive. Jim claims that Eugene is the mole.However, Ethan has already figured out that Jim is the traitor after realizing the Bible he used to look up the Job verse was stolen from the Drake Hotel in Chicago—where Jim once said he was stationed.Ethan pretends to believe Jim and arranges a meeting with Max on a train to exchange the list. On the train, Ethan tells Max the list is beneath her seat, and she tells him where the money is stashed. Meanwhile, Luther jams the signal so she can't upload the list.Claire goes to collect her share from Jim but realizes too late that he's actually Ethan in disguise. When the real Jim shows up and pulls a gun to take the money, Ethan streams the confrontation live to Eugene, exposing Jim as the mole.Jim kills Claire and climbs to the roof of the train, trying to escape in a helicopter piloted by Franz. But Ethan also gets on the roof, hooks the chopper to the train, and forces it into a tunnel. Miraculously, it doesn't crash immediately. Ethan jumps onto the helicopter and uses another piece of explosive gum to blow it up—of course, surviving the blast.Eugene arrives, arrests Max, and recovers the list.Ethan and Luther are reinstated in the IMF, though Ethan isn't sure if he wants to return. On the flight home, a flight attendant approaches him and covertly offers a new mission—this time as team leader.
Laura Richards and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by former CIA spy and intelligence expert Andrew Bustamante to unpack the complex web of evidence, abuse, and control unfolding in the Sean “Diddy” trial. Laura, Lisa and Andrew explore the charges against Combs including that Combs abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, in comparison with particular testimonies including Regina Ventura, Cassie's mother, Dawn Richard, Kerry Morgan, "The Punisher” and Kid Cudi. Laura highlights how abusers weaponise fear and power to maintain control, and how those in their orbit enable the abuse—whether through silence or active participation. Andrew brings a spy's lens to the case, analyzing Diddy's tactics through the eyes of a trained operative—making powerful connections between psychological warfare and public manipulation. This isn't just about Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura. It's bigger than that. It's about a systemic failure to protect women and girls—and what must change. Listen now. Share it widely.

Everything changed when women dared to speak up. This week, with my co-host, criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards, and special guest ex-CIA spy Andrew Bustamante by my side, we're dissecting the walls of power, money, intimidation, and silence surrounding Diddy's alleged abuse. We break down Cassie's mother's pivotal testimony, explore the mechanics of coercion, sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and lay out practical strategies for any woman feeling trapped by threats and shame. We ask the uncomfortable questions: When the world won't protect women, what does justice really look like? And—how do we take back our stories, our safety, and our agency, even when going up against the untouchable?

This week on Urban Valor, we hear the extraordinary story of Army Staff Sergeant Robert Ham—a combat videographer whose job was to document war through the lens. Serving from 2007 to 2017, Robert captured footage most Americans will never see—graphic, haunting, and real. But it wasn't until he reviewed the footage later that the emotional weight truly hit him.In this week's episode of Urban Valor, Robert shares the reality of filming dying Afghans, surviving mortar attacks, and embedding with combat units across Afghanistan. He opens up about the toll that job took on his mental health and what happened after he came home. Despite enrolling at USC's top-ranked film school, he struggled with depression, identity loss, and nearly took his own life.Now a filmmaker dedicated to preserving the stories of those who served, Robert is the creator behind Interpreters Wanted and Searching for Bergdahl. His story is one of service, trauma, survival, and healing.

This is the extraordinary journey of Rabbi Mendy Chitric, a Chabad rabbi based in Turkey. Born in Swat, Pakistan, and part of an 11th-generation Chabad family, Rabbi Chitric has spent the last 25 years serving the Jewish community in Istanbul — a city where Jewish life dates back 2,700 years. Originally planning to stay for just one year, Rabbi Chitric remained to answer the needs of a community facing significant challenges: assimilation, declining population, and a need for strong Jewish infrastructure. This video dives deep into Rabbi Chitric's insights on:
Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Jewish Couple Shot in Hate Crime The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delivers a powerful and emotionally charged discussion centered on the tragic antisemitic double murder of a young couple in Washington, D.C., and the broader implications of rising antisemitism in America. Clay and Buck open the hour with breaking news about the passage of a major bill in the House of Representatives, highlighting its narrow approval and the expected path forward in the Senate. However, the focus quickly shifts to the horrific killing of two Israeli diplomats, a crime the hosts attribute to the dangerous rhetoric and ideology spreading across college campuses and left-wing political circles under slogans like “Globalize the Intifada.” The hosts condemn the mainstream media and political figures for their silence or tepid responses, calling out Representative Ilhan Omar for refusing to comment. They draw parallels between this attack and the October 7 Hamas terrorist massacre in Israel, emphasizing the moral inversion and ignorance among younger generations regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Buck Sexton, drawing on his background in Middle East studies and the CIA, provides historical and geopolitical context, arguing that Hamas’s actions are rooted in a desire to prevent peace in the region, particularly between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The conversation also explores the broader issue of selective outrage and hypocrisy in global human rights advocacy, pointing to the lack of attention to genocides in places like South Sudan. The hosts stress the importance of educating younger Americans about the realities of terrorism, antisemitism, and the existential threats faced by Israel. Sen. Rand Paul on the Big Beautiful Bill Later in the hour, KY Senator Rand Paul joins the show to discuss the implications of the newly passed House bill, particularly its impact on the national debt and fiscal conservatism. Paul criticizes the bill’s projected $4–5 trillion increase to the debt ceiling and warns that Republicans are abandoning their principles by supporting unsustainable spending. He advocates for entitlement reform and a return to fiscal responsibility, warning of the long-term consequences of unchecked deficits. Yael Eckstein reacts on hate crime from Israel Yael Eckstein, President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, who offers a powerful response from Israel. She connects the attack to rising global antisemitism and the dangerous rhetoric emerging from pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. college campuses. Eckstein emphasizes the need for unity among Jews and Christians and praises former President Trump for his swift condemnation of the attack. Daniel Cameron on his Senate Run Former KY AG, Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Kentucky, on running to replace Mitch McConnell. Cameron discusses the recent tornado devastation in Kentucky, his campaign to replace Mitch McConnell, and his alignment with Donald Trump’s America First agenda. He emphasizes issues like border security, energy independence, and fighting DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies. Cameron also addresses the shifting political landscape, particularly how younger men across racial lines are moving away from the Democratic Party due to its stance on masculinity and traditional values.
