After two decades in procurement and supply chain, Wendi Bay (founder of The Sacred Exit) walked away from corporate life to help women reclaim energy, purpose, and sovereignty. In this conversation, Wendi and Jummie unpack “corporate religion,” why our systems keep us at Level Zero on the Kardashev (civilization) scale, and what it takes, spiritually and practically, to make a sacred, responsible exit from a draining 9–5. They explore inner work vs. external validation, women's cyclical power in workplaces designed for linear productivity, and how to plan your leap without burning it all down.Where to find Wendi:https://wendibay.com/level-0-ebookSend us a textSupport the showLove the show?

My guest is Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, professor of translational medicine and human genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. He explains how, unbeknownst to most doctors, many approved medications can successfully treat or even cure diseases other than the ones they are typically used to treat. He shares his story of escaping death from Castleman's disease by discovering a life-saving treatment using repurposed drugs that were approved for other purposes. Our conversation explores how researchers, physicians, and you—the general public—can explore novel treatments and cures to conditions the medical profession has deemed untreatable, including cancers. We also discuss the crucial role of mindset in battling diseases and the lesser-known use of compounds to promote health and longevity. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In what may be the finest hour to date of his two presidencies, Donald Trump has pledged to counter the dire threat to civilization inherent in history's greatest crime against humanity: the persecution of over 380 million Christians worldwide.  The overwhelming majority of the acts of heavy persecution to which those followers of Jesus are subjected occur at the hands of adherents to Islam's totalitarian sharia code. In two recent Truth Social posts, Mr. Trump focused on one of the most egregious and ongoing examples of a place where such barbarity is allowed to occur with impunity: Africa's Nigeria.   To his credit, President Trump has committed to hold accountable and punish the Nigerian government – which has long tolerated, and even aided and abetted, such persecution – including by U.S. military attacks on the perpetrators. Praise God! This is Frank Gaffney!

I highly encourage everyone to read Makers of Civilization and The British Edda if you want TRUTH that will set you free of the Societal Control systems of religion and government.  This is different than deprogramming.  It's the omitted information that changes our outlook and puts us back in the driver's seat of our own fate. It is liberating in a positive manner, not in oppostion to something.  Defining yourself based on your opposition to an enemy is a weak and flawed way of developing an identity.  Instead, the Edda shows you who has been the originator of all positive innovation and religious concepts later co-opted and inverted by evil minded entities focused on controlling that which was superior to them.  You want to read those books. Do a search and find the PDFs.  Teach your children the truth. Take back your destiny through rediscovery of who you are.Get Dr Monzo's Whole Food Supplements for your 90 Essential Revitalizing Nutrients here:https://SemperFryLLC.comClick His Picture on the Right for the AZURE WELL products and use code BB5 for your discount.Pods & Exclusives AD-FREE!https://patreon.com/c/DisguisetheLimitsDon't be a schmoe, Support the Show!https://GiveSendGo.com/BaalBustersConsistent shows, Consistent effort.Want Dan's book or his Award winning hot sauces and spicy honey?

Candace Owens labeled Josh “subhuman filth” and twisted his words to smear him—is a defamation lawsuit coming? Nick Fuentes, Holocaust denier and racist, gets a friendly Tucker interview—while pro-Israel voices are silenced. JD Vance's inner circle raises red flags—but is he really a “crypto-groyper”? Josh weighs in.   Josh reveals never-before-heard details from his private group chat with Charlie Kirk—including the final Zoom call the night before Charlie's assassination, where they prepped pro-Israel talking points to fight campus anti-Semitism.   This isn't just drama. This is a battle for Western civilization itself. #TuckerCarlson #CandaceOwens #JoshHammer #CharlieKirk #NickFuentes #JDVance #ChicksOnTheRight #ConservativePodcast #Israel #Antisemitism #MegynKelly #BenShapiro #trump

Birthrates are declining worldwide, including in the US, Canada, and European nations, with some projections forecasting that 97% of the world's countries will have fertility rates too low to sustain their populations by 2100. This population deficit not only threatens economic growth and the well-being of older members but also limits opportunities for younger people to develop in thriving communities. These population declines are an overall disaster for civilization, human well-being, and survival. In a fascinating conversation with journalist Elizabeth Nickson, we examined some of the greatest pressures and roadblocks faced by young women today that lead to the deferment or rejection of parenthood.

What do conservatives like JD Vance and tech executives like Elon Musk have in common? They, like other pronatalists, want to “save civilization” by having more American babies. But it wasn't that long ago that some people wanted to save the world by limiting the number of kids being born. This week on the pod, we explore the surprising way eugenics plays a role in these two seemingly opposite fears.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

President Xi Jinping has called for giving full play to the role of the Palace Museum and turning it into an important window for the world to better understand Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation, as he visited an exhibition marking the museum's 100th founding anniversary on Monday.Once China's imperial palace from 1420 to 1911, and also known as the Forbidden City, the Palace Museum was established in October 1925, when it opened to the public.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, arrived at the Palace Museum in Beijing at 10 am to visit the centennial exhibition.More than 200 carefully selected exhibits, including paintings, calligraphy, jade, bronzeware, gold artifacts, porcelain and architectural components, are on display, bearing witness to the splendid history and unbroken cultural lineage of the Chinese nation.Xi listened attentively to the explanations during his visit, pausing from time to time to observe the exhibits closely and inquire about relevant details.He said that the Palace Museum embodies the cultural genes of the Chinese nation and stands as a hallmark of Chinese civilization.Protecting the Palace Museum well and giving full play to its role is a matter of national importance and a glorious mission for those who work at the museum, he said.Xi encouraged the Palace Museum, which is at a new starting point in its centennial journey, to carry forward its fine traditions, stay committed to the principle that cultural relics belong to and serve the people, and further strengthen the protection and restoration of cultural relics.He also called for efforts to enhance adaptive utilization of cultural relics, making the Palace Museum an important base for patriotic education and a key window through which the world can gain a deeper understanding of Chinese civilization and the Chinese people.Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and Li Shulei, head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, also visited the exhibition.Titled A Century of Stewardship: From the Forbidden City to the Palace Museum, the exhibition is in three parts: "A Lineage of Civilization", "A Century of Endeavor" and "Myriad Visions of Splendor". It opened on Sept 30 and will run until the year's end.centennial/senˈteniəl/adj.百年的lineage/ˈlɪniɪdʒ/n.脉络adaptive/əˈdæptɪv/adj.适应的、有适应能力的

Nomoli figurines are among the earliest works of art from Sierra Leone. The figurines and similar stone sculptures are the only known remains of an empire that existed hundreds of years ago in what is now Sierra Leone and Liberia. Portuguese explorers first recorded the existence of the figurines in the fifteenth century. Nomoli figurines are often associated with the Mende people as they are often buried on Mende land. The Mende and Kissi people of Sierra Leone place these small statues near their homes and in fields of crops as a form of protection, in the belief that the Nomoli figurines will give them good health and good harvests. They also consult the statues as oracles. During the 20th century, Sierra Leonean immigrants brought their ancestors' Nomoli figurines with them to the United States as a way to preserve the spiritual powers of the past.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

1. A Future in Flames: Worldwide Wildfire Phenomenon and Historical Context. Danielle Clode's book, A Future in Flames, addresses wildfires (or bushfires in Australia) as a worldwide phenomenon challenging civilization in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The discussion emphasizes that bushfires are not solely a product of civilization but were present historically. Early European explorers, such as Captain Cook in 1770, frequently reported seeing fires along the Australian coast, often interpreting them as indicators of people ashore. Once explorers went ashore, some observed really intense fires that were clearly out of control. The sources highlight the long history of fire use by humans, focusing on Indigenous Australians. Prior to European settlement, Indigenous people used fire in various ways, including hunting, clearing movement passages, signaling, defense, and crucially, land management. They used fire selectively to stimulate new growth and promote grass for grazing prey. This land management system, perfected over more than 60,000 years, is known as "fire stick farming" and is integral to the Australian ecology. In contrast, early European settlers failed to apply these lessons well, often using fire indiscriminately merely to clear forests. While the land clearance supported the economy by regenerating grass for sheep, the uncontrolled fires became a serious problem relatively early in the colony's history. By 1851, settlers realized the severity of the issue, exemplified by events like Black Thursday (February 5, 1851), which featured extreme heat (47°C or 120+°F). 1864 QUEENSLAND

Once, a long time ago, the night sky was our ceiling. The forest was our shelter. The hunt, was our heartbeat. Before empires, before machines, before the grid… there was only man, his will, and the wild.“They” were the first survivors. The Hunter-Gatherers. Men and women who moved like shadows through endless forests. Tracking, foraging, trapping, fighting for every bite of life. They didn't need electricity. They didn't need convenience. And Survival, was their language.Then, came the cities. The noise. The illusion of safety. We forgot what it meant to live by instinct. We traded skills for comfort and electric light and for the glow of our screens. But comfort is fragile and when it crumbles, only the old ways remain.Imagine, the grid goes down. The world goes dark. The hum of the powerlines and Air Conditioners goes quiet. Civilization stumbles, and somewhere in that silence… something ancient stirs awake inside us. The pulse of the wild. The call of survival. The blood memory, of those who came before us.The future, now belongs to those who remember the past. Those who can track, and forage, and fight, for life itself. Those who can once again become ,the hunter-gatherer.Tonight, we dive into that world, as Jeremy, an avid Hunter, brings truth and reality to what it takes to be a Hunter-Gatherer during an SHTF event. If we want to survive, we must learn and master the lessons of our ancestors, and how their way of life may just be the key to surviving the collapse of our own.TOPSBunker.com Please Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:The Total Deer Hunter Manual - Field & Stream Flexibound BookHunting & Survival Manual - Field & Stream PaperbackSimplest Guide To Whitetail Deer Hunting - PaperbackThe Trappers Bible - Complete Guide - PaperbackBushnell Powerview 10x50mm Instafocus Binoculars RealtreeVortex Otics Solo 10x25mm Monocular Fog & Water ProofKNINE Outdoors Hunting Field Dress Kit 12 pcArcticShield Elite Cold-Weather Parka - RealTree EdgeArcticShield Heat Echo Sherpa Bib - RealTree EdgeWalkers Razor Slim Ultra Low Profile Electronic Hearing ProtectionWolf Tactical Drop-Leg Holster - Pistol Army GreenHotHands Body & Hand Super Warmers - 18hrs 10 PackHME 3-Color Camo Face Paint - No Glare Black Brown GreenNorth Mountain Gear Woodland Camo Ghillie Suit - 3D LeafMuddy 1-Person Huntsman Deluxe Tree Stand 17' Tall 300lb CapTLC Sport Hunting Blind Pop-Up 360 See Thru Design RealTreeMusicSupport the show

Writer, editor, and founder of The Elysian, Elle Griffin joins me on Infinite Loops to discuss her vision for participatory capitalism, a world where ownership, reputation, and creativity are shared more broadly across society. We explore the evolution of capitalism from the industrial era to the networked age, how broad-based ownership could rebuild the middle class, why optimism is revolutionary, and how storytelling shapes our collective imagination. We also discuss how reputation is becoming a new form of capital and how writers can become architects of meaning in a world reshaped by AI and automation. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this episode of Psyche Podcast, I sit down with Daniel José Gaztambide to talk about his brilliant new book Decolonizing Psychoanalytic Technique: Putting Freud on Fanon's Couch. This was one of my favorite conversations to date — part intellectual exploration, part personal exchange, and entirely alive with the spirit of Fanon's revolutionary thought.Daniel and I trace the roots of his work back to his childhood in Puerto Rico, his experiences growing up in a psychologically attuned church, and his journey through psychoanalytic and liberation psychology training. We talk about what it means to read Freud through Fanon — how psychoanalysis itself must be decolonized to reckon with the realities of race, class, and power.From Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents to Fanon's psychiatric innovations in Blida, Daniel unpacks the political and clinical stakes of psychotherapy today — including the idea of intersectional suffering and how our personal struggles are shaped by larger systems of racial capitalism and patriarchy.This episode is full of warmth, humor, and deep insight. Daniel's passion for both clinical practice and social transformation really shines through, and I can't wait for listeners to hear how Fanon's legacy continues to challenge and inspire the next generation of therapists and thinkers.

Lionel unpacks the terrifying global blackout of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the "nervous system of the modern internet".

Over 100 years ago, Muhammad ‘Abduh grappled with the ways in which Islam and Christianity can coexist. He also explored the ways in which the two faiths have either contributed or restricted philosophical and scientific advancement. Now, due to the book's ongoing cultural relevance, Mohammed Gamal Abdelnour and Umran Khan have translated ‘Abduh's “Science and Civilization between Islam and Christianity” into English. Matthew Peterson speaks with the translators about how the book fits into modern interfaith discussion.Science and Civilization between Islam and Christianity: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/S/bo245009719.html

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 131 What is civilization? What is it based on? In the biggest picture, there are three fundamental pillars to civilization: truth, justice, and love. (You'll notice how Biblical this is.) Truth allows us to make real, meaningful strides, and reality will punish us if we fail to keep to it. Justice is necessary to keep people functioning together and working for their society and the American Dream. But these must also be pursued with an orientation toward love, not enmity, if we are to foster a civilization instead of a tribalistic warzone. Join host James Lindsay for this important episode of New Discourses Bullets where he lays out these three crucial pillars of civilization. Latest from New Discourses Press!

More To The Story: Bill McKibben isn't known for his rosy outlook on climate change. Back in 1989, the environmentalist wrote The End of Nature, which is considered the first mainstream book warning of global warming's potential effects on the planet. His writing on climate change has been described as “dark realism.” But McKibben has recently let a little light shine through thanks to the dramatic growth of renewable energy, particularly solar power. In his new book, Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization, McKibben argues that the planet is experiencing the fastest energy transition in history from fossil fuels to solar and wind—and that transition could be the start of something big. On this week's More To The Story, McKibben sits down with host Al Letson to examine the rise of solar power, how China is leapfrogging the United States in renewable energy use, and the real reason the Trump administration is trying to kill solar and wind projects around the country.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick with help from Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Listen: Will the National Parks Survive Trump?

Victor Davis Hanson- Reactionary, Neo-Confederate Portland.  Everywhere Islam gains power, Civilization collapses. 5 X Clips. Everywhere Islam gains power, Civilization collapses Victor Davis Hanson- Reactionary, Neo-Confederate Portland Post Islam Invasion  @IslamInvasion “Peace when weak, conquest when strong.” The pattern is clear, patience until power, then submission by force. Fourteen hundred years prove it, Sharia does not knock, it takes.   Post Bob @Shariakill Everywhere Islam gain power, Civilization collapse   Reactionary, Neo-Confederate Portland 16 Comments / October 6, 2025 Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness In blue cities across America—Portland, Oregon, especially—often violent protesters now seek to surround ICE facilities to stop federal officers from fulfilling their assigned and legal duties of arresting illegal aliens. Some 10 million or more illegal aliens were allowed to enter the U.S. during the Biden years—illegally and thus without criminal or health checks. Neither Antifa nor liberal urban America objected to such a flagrant disregard for the law. But both are now as intent on obstructing the legal enforcement of the law as they were earlier in favor of its illegal non-enforcement. Much less did they care about the consequences of sending millions of foreign nationals into cities and counties where they swamped social services, spiked crime, and flooded emergency rooms and schools. ICE has repeatedly presented data that show in its first rounds of deportations, it is concentrating on removing either criminal illegal aliens or those who have already been processed with deportation orders, somewhere between 70 and 90 percent of all current apprehensions. No matter. Left-wing protesters are swarming ICE headquarters in Portland to violently oppose all deportations, even those of known criminals and those who have already exhausted efforts to remain here illegally. Why? The Democratic Party apparat knows that the public wants both secure borders and deportations of illegal aliens. Indeed, in part, it lost an election by its open-borders advocacy. But Democrat officials feel that if street thugs like Antifa can surround and besiege ICE facilities in Portland, Oregon, then deportations will stop. Then, a de facto amnesty will follow for millions who entered the U.S. illegally—and will soon become Democratic constituents. As a result, they do not fully enforce the law when thugs attack federal law enforcement. Antifa and its spin-off groups favor the night, when they try to block all entries and exits of ICE vehicles and personnel, and can commit their violence with greater anonymity. The masked rioters assault anyone in their way. They count on exemption from punishment for committing violence against federal officers through the goodwill or indifference of kindred local and state officials who hate the Trump administration more than they respect the law. An Orwellian scenario follows in which federal officers are attacked by Antifa, which in turn counts on the non-intervention of local police. Summed up: the city of Portland's armed officers are in a de facto proxy war with their federal counterparts—in our version of something out of 1860, on the eve of a real civil war. Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek feel their constituents want open borders and thus should have the right in their own city and state to do as they please—and federal law be damned. But by doing so, both the Democrat Party officialdom and the street armies of Antifa are on the proverbial wrong side of history. America for almost 200 years has already decided, in formal law and court rulings, that no local or state entity can disrupt the enforcement of federal laws or usurp Washington's powers. To do so with impunity would unravel the American nation in short order. We know that from our own violent history. Andrew Jackson, in 1832, like Trump, threatened to send troops to stop South Carolina's nullification of federal tariff laws. America fought a Civil War over Confederate states' efforts to ignore federal law and confiscate or occupy federal property within their state jurisdictions. As late as 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace thought he could nullify federal law by using his state guard to deny black students' enrollment in the University of Alabama—until the Kennedy administration federalized all state troopers and sent in additional federal troops. So what we are witnessing in Portland—and elsewhere—is a neo-Confederate attempt to supersede federal law and, in reactionary fashion, invoke states' and cities' rights. Oregon and Portland believe that they are more moral than the federal government and thus have a natural right to side with street mobs by both not enforcing their own laws against Antifa violence and ignoring the innate civil rights of ICE personnel. The latter are denied freedom of movement, association, and the ability to fulfill their job duties by what has turned out to be a near city-sanctioned siege of their facilities. The Democrats are fine with all this. They think the violence against ICE will be portrayed daily as general chaos by their allied media. Thus, the proverbial people who keep clear of the siege and its detritus will simply want all the bother to go away—and supposedly blame those enforcing, not breaking, the law. In sum, the Democratic Party is the official face of the left. Antifa provides the street shock troops, and the media serves as its propaganda arm. So, the left-wing logic is to allow the violence and siege to continue in a “safe space” for Antifa. A strapped ICE will supposedly eventually shut down operations and move on. And any violence that occurs can be chalked up to Trump's federal government “baiting” Portlanders. The reigning moralistic assumption is that ceding territory to terrorists, not enforcing local and state laws, and nullifying federal statutes are all small prices to pay for the larger projection of chaos and violence that can be blamed on Trump. Such thinking entails utter indifference to any Portlanders who live near the siege and are nightly subjected to constant disruptions, harassment, and occasional violence. Do these law-abiding residents have fewer civil rights than the lawbreaking armies of the night? In contrast, the use of federal troops to stop the siege of ICE facilities will remind the violent protesters of the left that their neo-Confederate tactics will not work, but instead subject them to arrest and federal indictments. Bringing in federal forces to uphold the law will also protect the rights of ICE personnel and neighborhood residents to live in peace and security and have their constitutional protections secured. Not all American citizens are Portlanders, but all Portland citizens are Americans. In other words, both Antifa and the appeasing Oregon officials are our new neo-Confederate secessionists. They feel that their states are now autonomous entities that are still entitled to federal money but not obligated to follow federal laws. Portland also reminds us of the recent utter incoherence of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. On the one hand, she pleads for federal dollars to restore her city's burned-out neighborhoods due to her own incompetence and neglect, while on the other hand actively obstructs the federal government from enforcing immigration laws in her own city. For a party that has been quick to shout “insurrection,” it is ironic that Democrats and their useful, though violent, Antifa insurrectionists are in rebellion against the federal government and its agents. It is hard to know which is worse—the Antifa thug who nightly tries to injure a federal officer, or the sanctimonious neo-Confederate official who empowers him to keep trying?

Time will tell if Democrats commitment to funding illegal aliens' health insurance and Antifa riots against cops and ICE agents in crime-ridden American cities is a winner for them. President Trump is leaning in unapologetically to securing law and order, not funding illegal alien health care, and calling out the growing assassination culture of the Democrats. Erin Maguire, Republican strategist breaks it down as the does each week on Monday's with Maguire.

This week, Granger and AntMan revisit a decades-old prediction that’s resurfacing online — an MIT study from 1972 claiming society could collapse by 2040. The two dig into what that actually means, what the researchers got right and wrong, and how changing population trends might be shaping the future faster than we realize. From the idea of socialism as a global “solution” to declining birth rates and the rise of technology, the conversation moves from history to the present day. Granger shares stories from his travels, including a talk with a Venezuelan Uber driver, as they unpack why grand theories about saving the world always seem to ignore human nature. But the heart of the episode isn’t fear — it’s faith. Granger points back to Scripture, reminding listeners that no matter what predictions come true, God’s plan doesn’t change. Whether the world lasts another fifteen years or a thousand, our mission remains the same: to live for Christ and share His gospel in the time we’re given.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The rise of civilization is one of the most remarkable and important moments in human history.  However, it didn't happen one time in one place. It occurred multiple times in multiple locations.   Historians and archaeologists have identified six distinct civilizations that developed independently of one another, all of which have, in one way or another, contributed to the civilization we live in today.  Learn more about the six cradles of civilization, what they were, and how they developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

He discusss the evolution of societal structures and the psychological motivations that shape our interactions, particularly how the elimination of scarcity fosters a competitive meritocracy that can exacerbate inequality. Stefan explores the contrasting perspectives of men and women regarding success and competition, highlighting the inherent differences in their responses to disparities and their roles as nurturers. Through personal anecdotes, he examines the importance of accountability and the societal implications of our inability to reconcile mistakes.
