Send a textGUEST: CHRIS KATULKA, host, Friends of Israel Today RadioHostility or hatred of the Jews and Israel is an age-old scourge of mankind. And it always ends badly for those who get seduced into it.The Egyptian Pharaoh attempted to kill male Jewish babies, and his country was destroyed by God's plagues. Haman in Persia (modern-day Iran) plotted to exterminate all Jews in the kingdom, and he and his 10 sons were executed. In the 20th century, Hitler launched an attempt to annihilate the Jewish people. He died, and Germany lost World War II.There have been many more examples of enmity toward the Jews throughout history and yet the Jewish people continue to survive and even prosper.Anti-Israel, anti-Jewish hostility is inspired by Satan. How so? Satan is driven to thwart God's plan. So to exterminate the Jews before the coming of Jesus Christ, Himself a Jew, would be to foil God's promise of a Savior. To destroy Israel now would be to derail God's promise to save Israel and the return of Christ.Fundamentally, the lack of peace in the Middle East is about Israel's neighbors open hostility toward the Jewish people's presence. The Jews did not take back Israel through force of arms in 1948 but through declarations by Britain and the United Nations. No matter, the newly established State of Israel was attacked immediately by her Arab neighbors.This helps explain why Iran and its proxies across the Middle East, like Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, who although holding differing Islamic beliefs, are united by an unquenchable hatred and motive to destroy Israel.But it's not just the Middle East. The spiritual contagion of enmity toward the Jews and Israel has infected many in the West. The political and theological left, which are basically one and the same, are characterized by this. But what is troubling is that the political and theological right (i.e. conservatives) are succumbing as well. Notable influencers like Tucker Carlson, Candance Owens, and Nick Fuentes, along with many others, openly and loudly deride Israel and the Jews, asserting:The modern-day people in Israel aren't JewsThe Jews control America and the U.S. does Israel's bidding in the Middle EastThe Jews are the great corruptors in the world and seek global dominionIsrael is a genocidal oppressorEven if there was any truth to these defamations, none of it would cancel God's unbreakable promise: “God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! … From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:1, 28-29).This weekend on The Christian Worldview, Chris Katulka, host of Friends of Israel Today radio program and Vice President of North American Ministries, joins us to discuss The Dark Spiritual Contagion of Anti-Israel, Anti-Jewish Enmity.Be sure to join us for this important topic that explains much of what is taking place in the world.

L'est du Sénégal face au risque de la contagion jihadiste, fin de notre série de reportages. Aux Trois frontières, zone aux confins du Mali et de la Mauritanie, la menace terroriste est toute proche. Si Dakar a renforcé l'approche sécuritaire, sur place, des acteurs alertent sur une région en déficit chronique de tout : infrastructures, routes, électricité… Un terreau potentiellement propice aux mouvements jihadistes. Face à cette menace, le développement est un enjeu crucial de la région. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Gangala, Pour rejoindre la région de Ballou, à plus de 700 kilomètres de Dakar, il faut s'armer de courage. Car depuis des décennies, la zone reculée et aride la plupart de l'année rime avec le manque. Venu assister à une réunion sous un soleil de plomb pour identifier des projets de développement, Abdourrahmane Ba, le chef de village de Gangala, à quelques kilomètres du Mali, résume la situation : « Y'a pas d'eau, y'a pas d'électricité, il manque des cases de santé, et il manque des routes. » Un des enjeux majeurs pour déployer la sécurité, rapide et efficace, dans la zone, demeure la route. Le goudron qui doit relier les villes frontalières de Kidira à Bakel, en travaux depuis des années, est en passe d'être terminé, selon les autorités. Pour le maire de Ballou, Cheikhna Camara, dont la commune se trouve sur le trajet, c'est une priorité : « On est enclavés, on n'a rien ! Étant enclavés, les bandits de grands chemins peuvent venir faire ce qu'ils veulent et peuvent partir. Et les autorités, pour les poursuivre, c'est très difficile. On vit cette situation-là depuis des années. » À écouter aussiEst du Sénégal : la vigilance locale pour se prémunir des jihadistes [4/5] Développer pour ne pas devenir un territoire oublié Ce jour-là, une quinzaine d'habitants et de chefs de village de la zone sont venus examiner une mare grande comme trois terrains de foot. Ce point de ravitaillement en eau est crucial pour les bergers transhumants de la zone. L'agence régionale de développement, avec l'appui de bailleurs, veut le consolider. « Nous sommes en train d'évaluer le volume du travail, et comment faire pour sécuriser la digue, tout en conservant la mare, sans que l'eau ne détruise la berge », explique Mamadou Fade, acteur de l'agence étatique de développement (ARD). Il plaide pour que cette région frontalière menacée par l'insécurité voisine ne reste pas un angle mort du développement : « Nous sommes dans une région où, du fait des effets des changements climatiques, les gens sont vulnérables. Donc, la fragilité de l'économie locale fait que tout le monde est dans le besoin. C'est ce qui justifie que les jeunes émigrent. C'est ce qui justifie aussi le risque d'enrôlement des jeunes par rapport aux jihadistes. » Pour l'heure, le Sénégal et les populations locales résistent à une extension du conflit jihadiste.

In this episode of Reckoning, historian Andrew Wehrman, author of Contagion of Liberty, explores how smallpox and inoculation shaped the American founding—and ignited some of the earliest debates over liberty, risk, and public health.Long before COVID-19, Americans wrestled with questions of bodily autonomy, religious belief, communal obligation, and government authority, all in the shadow of a deadly disease and without modern medical knowledge. From local resistance to inoculation to George Washington's controversial decision to mandate it in the Continental Army, this conversation places early American public health in its full moral and political context.By looking closely at how Americans responded to smallpox, this episode shows why vaccine controversy is not a modern anomaly—but a recurring feature of American life—and what our past can (and cannot) teach us about navigating public health crises today.

Broadcasting live from the O'Leary Ventures boardroom at The Hive in Grand Forks, Scott Hennen hosts a wide-ranging Town Hall. U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer joins the program from Washington D.C. to pull back the curtain on the "negotiation fest" surrounding the government shutdown and why Democrats may have trapped themselves by targeting DHS funding. The dialogue shifts to a fiery but civil debate with North Dakota State Senator Tim Mathern regarding federal overreach and the "Minnesota Contagion." Later, we explore the cutting edge of history and technology with an update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library's realistic AI hologram and a sit-down with military vet turned tech entrepreneur JC Van Leer on the future of "one-way" drone defense. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:03] The DHS "Horrible Box" Senator Kevin Cramer explains why Democrats' decision to target ICE and DHS funding in the appropriations battle is a "special kind of stupid," as a shutdown would primarily impact Democratic priorities like FEMA and TSA. [00:15:34] The 10th Amendment Debate State Senator Tim Mathern argues that federal ICE actions in Minnesota constitute a violation of states' rights, comparing the federal overreach to the central governments of China and Russia. [00:19:33] "Macro vs. Micro" Ethics A tense exchange occurs as Senator Mathern suggests individuals have a "right to resist arrest," while Scott and Kevin challenge the morality of interfering with law enforcement. [00:23:40] The Don Lemon Arrest The crew reacts to the breaking news of Don Lemon's arrest at a Minneapolis church for allegedly violating the FACE Act, debating the media's role in local unrest. [00:26:34] Talking Back to TR Matt Briney reveals that the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will feature a realistic, AI-driven hologram of TR that can hold personal conversations with visitors at his cabinet table. [00:28:44] Radio Graffiti: "The Wet Sponge" A caller roasts political dodging, stating that expecting a straight answer from a politician is "like squeezing a wet sponge and wondering why you're not getting orange juice."

Responding to the Contagion of Burnout Energy

I saw a reel earlier that made me notice how burnout spreads. An entrepreneurial self-help influencer told followers to demand more power, money, and visibility for themselves. You may be familiar with this flavour of message… “How dare you keep your impact hidden?” they said, “given the state of things right now.” They criticised viewers, demanding that they stop letting fear of what others think rule them. “Start the business, write the book, and share it with a world that needs to encounter it.” There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the underlying sentiment. But I felt troubled by the burnout energy evident in the speaker. I watched with the sound off at first, which intensified the impact of their eyes and hand gestures on my nervous system. There was a sense of panic and hype, which felt completely at odds with what is required for deep courage to meet the very real need being spoken about. I didn't feel inspired or grounded in creative motivation. Instead, I was overcome by frenetic urgency and the indiscriminate demand to do more, driven by competition and fear. Things we already have in abundance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWf-FGZqIyE What Burnout Energy Pushes Us Toward There are enough people waving their arms and shouting demands about what we should be doing, using, and spending our finite resources on. What we need is space to slow down, take a breath, and listen deeply to that still, quiet voice within. This inner voice shows us what matters and why. Then we can choose how we bring it all to life. We need leaders who lead from that place, so we might be infused with and infected by the gentleness required to move out of that evident stuckness. That stuckness causes wheels to spin in the cycle of hurry, rush, and reactive firefighting mode. What Does Safety Make Possible? The word “safe” is used a lot today. To some degree, it has become diluted, making it difficult to define. But it's worth exploring because it sits at the heart of this issue. Maybe we have a desire to change something about ourselves, our lives, or the world. Or perhaps we've created, or are creating, something that could make a meaningful difference to other people. We now consider another buzzword of our times: vulnerability. It can feel vulnerable to be honest about what we want in life and to share what matters to us with those who matter to us. It can be scary to admit what we care about and what burns within us. That's because it can disrupt the status quo and challenge the image people have of us. It's vulnerable because we cannot be certain how people will react. Vulnerability Is More Than a Mindset Likewise, it may leave us genuinely physically vulnerable if we choose to stand up for what we believe is right, for example, through art or activism. This vulnerability isn't imagined. It's not simply an issue of mindset, limiting beliefs to overcome, or a conditioned cultural message we just need to override with reframe hacks. We know there are real-world threats out there. What struck me about the reel was that it failed to provide the support needed to underpin its demands. In fact, it undermined the courage, conviction, and energy required to speak up in a world that might be unreceptive or even hostile to what we have to say. The finger-wagging shame that comes from an influencer demanding we do more because it's cruel to hide from people who need to see us, however well-intentioned, will ultimately crumble and fold under its own weight. As a result, it creates the very passivity and inaction it warns against. Safety isn’t about comfort or avoidance. It’s the internal condition that enables honest reflection, creative movement, and sustained courage. This isn’t about mindset or thinking. It starts with the context of the stories we swim in, the supportive structures beneath us, and the material conditions that sustain life. Safety is Also Contagious One of the things I have consistently heard from people over the years who have connected with what I do, especially in The Haven and through the Serenity Island course, is the word safety. I'm always curious about what it means to those who use it, because it's not something I think about explicitly. When I started sharing The Return to Serenity Island at the start of 2021, I received messages from people that put words to the experience: “Oh my word, it is incredible! A really unique mixture of sound and sensory experience, coaching, imaginative play and informal, companionable talks. I'm absolutely hooked. I just did a module and cried like a baby because I felt so safe and seen. It is really special. That kind of cry you do when you're a kid, not because you're afraid anymore, but because you've been PICKED UP, and the relief just comes flooding out.” – Josie This spoke of safety not as the opposite of courage, but as the cornerstone around which courageous action can be sustained. A cornerstone we can return to and draw from without conditions on our intrinsic worth as humans. Safety, then, is feeling held as you are, without expectation or demand to prove yourself or fight for a sense of value. A Step Back From Burnout Energy This is a key value that underpins The Return to Serenity Island. It was a response to a feeling I had while doing my old year-end practice. I needed something that broke with the message of self-optimisation, personal productivity, and motivational resources, which, with an emphasis on striving, adding, and growing simply because it's what you're “supposed” to do, carried a creeping burnout energy. Tuula wrote, “Serenity Island has been the most powerful and lovely thing I have ever experienced. Andy has created an amazing adventure, cleverly weaving together incredibly beautiful soundscapes and deeply touching story narrative, which ignites your imagination, activates all senses and sends you on a journey of a lifetime on this island of your wildest dreams. It is playful and also a very useful creative project, which continues to evolve and grow with me. This Island work and its ripple effects have sneaked quietly and effectively into so many areas of my life already. I could not have found more effective and gentle coaching than with Andy.” The course is not something that comes with easy-to-market promises and packaged outcomes that everyone walks away with in the same way. Everyone who goes through it seems to encounter it from a different angle. But there is a common denominator of safety, which underpins everyone's response to it. Safety as a foundation for reflection, observation, and planning. A way to let what sits within us speak, and to give ourselves the best chance of hearing it. And as such, it's not a way to withdraw from reality. Instead, it helps us locate and root ourselves more firmly within it, so we can find strength, courage, and clarity about who we are, what we want to tend to and nurture, and how we will stand in the face of the forces that may take us away from ourselves. An Invitation to Serenity Island The Return to Serenity Island is a self-paced guided voyage with optional Zoom “Picnics”. These provide us with time and space for further reflection, support, and in-person connection along the way. This is a perfect time to grab a passport if this stuff feels right for you. The Serenity Island Passport gives you access to all materials and picnics for the next 12 months. And speaking of safety, I've made the course available on a choose-your-own-price basis. I know many people are navigating changing financial circumstances, and I truly mean it when I say: choose the amount that feels right for you. No minimum, no need to explain or justify your choice. I just want you there if you feel the pull. Arriving Through The Fog | A Narrated Soundscape It's much easier to show than describe, so I'll share the first of these six pieces that supplement the course materials. “Arriving through the fog soundscape is the most brilliant thing I have witnessed as a gateway into myself. If I stopped here, at the harbour to the Island, it would already be worth it for me. Thank you for this. It's filled with magic.” – Zoie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSBXlLgPuTQ Welcome home!

After a mysterious wave of tics and twitches swept through a small-town high school in New York, documentary podcaster Dan Taberski set out to investigate what was really happening. Drawing on extensive research and intimate interviews with the people involved, he explores the roots of mass hysteria — and what it reveals about the line between illness and belonging. What happens when the very thing that makes us sick ... is also what connects us?After the talk, Shoshana interviews Dan on how his research into the mysterious Havana Syndrome leads to his unearthing of a similar mass hysteria in Le Roy, New York. They also discuss how storytelling can reshape discourse surrounding medicine and what happens when the person experiencing an illness feels unheard and unsupported by the very medical professionals supposed to care for them?For the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscripts Hosted on Acast.

Throughout his storied career, the legendary Steven Soderbergh has directed a wide array of highly acclaimed films and/or hits (Out of Sight, Ocean's 11, Magic Mike, Black Bag, Logan Lucky, Contagion, Sex, Lies, & Videotape) and THIS is the film which earned him his only Oscar for Best Director in 2000.  This was actually one of two films (the other being Erin Brockovich) which he was nominated for in 2000 which turned out to be a TRULY stellar year for him!  It's a sprawling story about the American "War on Drugs" during the late '90's, focusing on several different characters on different sides of the law and various levels of the drug trade including two DEA agents (Don Cheadle, Luis Guzman), a judge who has just been appointed the National Drug Czar (Michael Douglas), the wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) of a suspected drug dealer (Steven Bauer), that couple's conniving attorney (Dennis Quaid), a teenager (Erika Christiansen) who becomes addicted to crack, and one conflicted Mexican cop (Benicio Del Toro who won an Oscar for his performance).  It's a complex story delving into a lot of moral grey areas and it's a testament to all of the talent involved (including Oscar-winning writer Stephen Gaghan) that this film was not only highly acclaimed but also a word-of-mouth blockbuster with audiences at the time of release.  However twenty-five years later, it is not often mentioned by many as among Soderbergh's best....so how does this ambitious ensemble hold up?  Let's find out if any one gets away clean.....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Mark Thornton dissects “contagion” hype and argues it's not a market pathology. He shows why, in a free market, failures reallocate customers, labor, and capital to better firms rather than spread panic. Contagion appears only when government links balance sheets and distorts prices. Mark traces how credit booms set up busts, and why even the Fed now sits upside-down, while homeowners are “rate-locked” and supply is frozen. The takeaway: politicians and central bankers invoke "contagion" to demand more power and money, while their interventions cause the very fragility they decry.See also "Fight Inflation Now" (Minor Issues, episode 72): Mises.org/MI_72Be sure to follow Minor Issues at https://Mises.org/MinorIssues

Disease is a social issue and not just a medical one. This is the central tenet underlying The Kiss of Death: Contagion, Contamination, and Folklore (Utah State University Press 2019) by Andrea Kitta, Associate Professor in the English department at East Carolina University, examines the discourses and metaphors of contagion and contamination in vernacular beliefs and practices across a number of media and forms. Using ethnographic, media, and narrative analysis, chapters discuss the changing representations of vampires and zombies in popular culture, the online discussions of Slenderman in relation to adolescent experiences of bullying, the misogyny embedded in legends about kisses that kill, and the racialized nature of patient-zero narratives that surrounding the spread of things like ebola, and the ways in which the HPV vaccine to homophobia. Issues like tellability and the stigmatized vernacular loom large throughout. Although folklorists will already recognize the social importance of vernacular narrative and belief, The Kiss of Death also shows how medical professionals have often failed to take vernacular forms into account. Through attention to narrative and vernacular belief, folklorists can model new forms of engaging with public health professionals and local communities.

#136 Can You Really Catch a Cold? Rethinking Contagion with Daniel Roytas

You've heard it your whole life: "Don't get too close, you'll catch a cold." But what if that's not how sickness works at all? What if health isn't about dodging germs, but about creating an environment your body actually feels safe in? Today, I'm sitting down with Daniel Roytas, author of Can You Catch a Cold? and a natural medicine practitioner who's challenging one of the biggest medical assumptions of our time—the idea of contagion itself. We're talking about what the research really shows about colds and flu, why sick people don't necessarily make healthy people sick, and how your environment, your emotions, and your beliefs play a far bigger role in healing than you've ever been told.  This isn't about fear. It's about freedom- from false narratives, from medical myths, and from the belief that your body is broken. If you're ready to question the story you were raised with and see illness through a completely new lens, this conversation will change the way you think about your health, your body, and your power to heal.

Send us a textEnergy can be borrowed, entangled, or reclaimed - and today we make that map simple. I share life updates from homeschooling a high-energy kindergartener to launching a new mentorship, then dive into the heart of the work: what cords are, how soul pieces scatter through over-bonding, and why you might be thinking thoughts that don't belong to you. I break down the three major cord types, the real impact they have on your daily vitality, and the integration process that follows deep clearing so you can stabilize instead of snapping back into old patterns.I also explore the body as feedback. I unpack recent dental and gum healing and the belief layer beneath it: feeling “bad at breaking down ideas.” Teeth mirror how we process complexity; gums mirror the foundation that holds it. When you pair practical care with energetic work—chunking big ideas, templating, and naming the core belief—symptoms and overwhelm can both shift. Add in protection tools for emotion and thought, and you can feel a clean signal for the first time in a while, especially during a focused group clearing window.There's an honest look at growth discomfort too—the stretchy, not-quite-in-your-skin feeling that comes when your expansion outruns your nervous system. Instead of resisting, we practice neutralizing judgment and choosing grounded action. I share how free will shapes healing, and why sovereignty—not rescue—is the path. If you're ready to stop carrying everyone else's energy, reclaim your focus, and feel your own emotions again, this conversation offers practical steps, clear definitions, and an invitation.Join our Halloween group clearing here on October 29 at 11:30 a.m. PST for cord removal, contagion clearing, and protection tools. Last mentorship spot here. Support the showJoin Unveiled - The Membership here.
