In Episode 435 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold is joined by Alpha Warrior, filling in for Burning Bright, for a detailed breakdown of President Trump's State of the Union address and the layered reactions that followed. The conversation focuses heavily on optics inside the chamber, timing, and how certain moments may connect to broader narrative positioning. The hosts also revisit Q posts and specific drops, analyzing deltas, language parallels, and how recent events appear to align with themes previously highlighted in the drops. They examine whether the messaging surrounding election integrity, fraud, and institutional resistance reflects coincidence or coordinated signaling. Throughout the episode, Jon and Alpha emphasize pattern recognition, timestamps, and strategic patience, discussing how public events may intersect with a longer-term framework. The discussion blends real-time political developments with Q analysis, asking listeners to consider how narrative, optics, and sequencing fit into a larger operational picture.
President Trump set a record with his SOTU address. It was the longest in history and the most incredible, Pro America address in modern history. Andrea shares the biggest, most shocking and telling moments of the night. And shares the monumental moments that no one is talking about. The proof is in; Fulton County DA Fani Willis coordinated with Joe Biden's White House to railroad Trump and 18 defendants in the bogus RICO case, for persecution through prosecution. Historian, Author and Attorney Tom Del Beccaro weighs in.Support Our Mission: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=ZMGRBFGDJKRS8See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Episode #487: Noor Azizah, a Rohingya genocide survivor and the founder and leader of the Rohingya Maìyafuìnor Collaborative Network, argues that violence against the Rohingya is still an ongoing reality shaped by military force, armed groups, legal exclusion, and regional inaction. She insists that Rohingya rights must be central to any future political settlement involving Myanmar, rather than treated as a secondary or humanitarian issue. Azizah places Rohingya persecution within a long historical trajectory beginning in 1942, when Japanese forces exacerbated tensions between Rohingya Muslims and ethnic Rakhine; before that, Rohingya and Rakhine communities had lived peacefully side by side. Following Myanmar's 1962 military coup, anti-Rohingya violence intensified, causing a large and growing displacement, mostly towards Bangladesh, which now hosts more than one million Rohingya refugees. The 1982 citizenship law was another defining moment, rendering the Rohingya stateless and imposing severe restrictions on movement, education, and healthcare. Finally, the 2017 military “clearance operations” represented the most extreme escalation, forcing more than 700,000 Rohingya to flee as villages were burned, civilians killed, and mass rape used as a weapon of terror. Azizah emphasizes that propaganda and hate speech have played a central role in this violence. Coordinated campaigns have portrayed Rohingya as illegal migrants and existential threats, amplified through Facebook and extremist Buddhist networks. She adds that economic interests, including infrastructure projects in Rakhine State, continued alongside mass violence. She discusses the International Court of Justice case brought by The Gambia against Myanmar as a landmark effort to enforce the Genocide Convention and stresses the failure of regional bodies such as ASEAN to protect Rohingya. Azizah concludes by describing the work of RMCN, a women-led organization providing humanitarian aid and advocacy, and reiterates that Rohingya rights are non-negotiable, and essential to Myanmar's future.

A major new European initiative, Photonics for Quantum (P4Q), will launch in 2026 across twelve countries, marking a decisive step in Europe's effort to accelerate quantum technology development and manufacturing. In Ireland, P4Q is hosted at Tyndall National Institute (based at University College Cork), and is co-funded by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Skills (DFHERIS), reflecting the strategic national priority to build sovereign capability in advanced semiconductors and quantum technologies. Coordinated by the University of Twente (NL), P4Q brings together Europe's leading research institutes, semiconductor foundries, and deep-tech companies. The consortium's mission is to create the manufacturing ecosystem Europe needs to produce high-quality quantum photonic chips at scale, a critical capability as the global race for quantum accelerates. Photonic chips are a key quantum technology, enabling breakthroughs in quantum sensing, communication, and computing. The major challenge today is scale: future quantum systems will require large numbers of high-quality photonic chips, produced reliably and in high volumes. Ireland's Contribution to Advanced Quantum Packaging, Supported by DFHERIS As a key partner in P4Q, Tyndall will contribute its specialist expertise in advanced packaging of quantum photonic chips, a critical component in the development of scalable quantum systems. Tyndall's work will focus on one of the major challenges in quantum technology: packaging chips designed to operate at ultralow (cryogenic) temperatures. These processes must deliver extreme precision and performance, while also being scalable for high-volume production as quantum markets emerge. DFHERIS Minister James Lawless welcomes the news: "My Department is deeply committed to advancing quantum technologies, because this is an area with enormous potential to strengthen our economy and make a real difference in people's lives. Last year, I signed the Quantum Pact, an important step toward positioning Europe as the 'quantum valley' of the world. Progress in quantum hardware depends on strong partnerships, and collaboration like this is essential for developing cutting-edge technologies and building secure, reliable supply chains. I am delighted to see Tyndall contributing to such a high-calibre consortium. Their leadership reflects our national strategic ambitions and continues to elevate Ireland's reputation in quantum innovation." A SiN chip for a quantum photonics application being tested Professor William Scanlon, CEO, Tyndall, said: "We are proud to be playing a leading role in P4Q, which represents an important milestone for Europe's quantum and semiconductor ambitions. Advancing the packaging of quantum photonic chips is essential for building a scalable manufacturing base in Europe. This partnership reinforces Ireland's leadership in quantum and enabling technologies innovation and supports our national strategy to grow a resilient, future-focused semiconductor ecosystem." Commenting on the announcement, Professor Peter O'Brien, Head of Photonics Packaging, Tyndall, said: "P4Q provides Ireland with a unique opportunity to lead the development of advanced packaging technologies for quantum devices. With our state-of-the-art infrastructure and unique expertise, Ireland is exceptionally well-positioned to stay at the forefront of quantum research and industrialisation, fully aligned with our national semiconductor strategy." Recent commentary has highlighted the strategic importance of building strong indigenous semiconductor capability to secure Ireland's long-term economic and technological resilience. P4Q is a targeted response to that national need, placing Ireland's expertise at the centre of a high-impact European quantum manufacturing ecosystem. The P4Q partners include Tyndall National Institute, University of Twente (coordinator), AIT, Aluvia, AMIRES, AQT, C2N, CEA-Leti, Delft Networks, ICFO,...
In Episode 457 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker examines how antisemitism erupted globally immediately after the October 7, 2023 atrocities—and why much of it was excused, normalized, and protected by America's so-called institutions of higher learning.Andrew analyzes a little-covered but deeply consequential June 24, 2024 decision by the Judicial Council of the Fifth Circuit, which dismissed complaints against federal judges who publicly condemned antisemitic riots and campus lawlessness and refused to hire law clerks from universities that failed to act. The ruling draws a clear legal distinction between protected speech and unlawful, violent conduct—and exposes the double standards applied when Jewish communities are targeted.This episode also explores credible intelligence findings pointing to a coordinated, state-backed effort to fuel anti-Israel and antisemitic narratives across Western universities, media, and public discourse. Andrew challenges the misuse of the First Amendment, the silence of academic leadership, and the dangerous consequences of excusing hatred under ideological cover.This is a direct and unflinching discussion about law, moral clarity, and why pushing back on institutional failure matters now more than ever.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

Hosts: Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC & Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT 01:37 Patient Case Study: Phantom Limb Pain 09:13 Understanding Liver Health and Detoxification 17:48 Addressing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease 29:51 Treating TMJ with FSM 34:17 Understanding Trigger Points and TMJ 37:01 Exploring Eczema and Its Causes 40:27 Post-ACL Reconstruction and Rehabilitation 49:19 Addressing Dementia and Its Potential Causes 55:28 Innovations in Surgical Solutions for Arthritis 57:11 Conclusion and Final Thoughts In the realm of medical practice, understanding various pain management and treatment techniques is essential, especially for medical professionals dealing with complex conditions. This guide delves into methods for treating various kinds of pain, nerve issues, and conditions such as liver toxicity, TMJ, and osteoporosis, as well as discussing new insights into dementia related to sensory loss. **Managing Phantom Limb Pain** Phantom limb pain can occur when nerves are damaged, leading to sensations in a limb that is no longer present. A case in point is the experience of nerve damage in the big toe, where the perceived pain resembles that of a phantom limb. Identifying and running specific treatment protocols such as 40/89 can be effective in alleviating such pain. **Understanding Trigger Points** Trigger points in muscles like the upper trapezius are often symptoms rather than causes of pain. They might originate from other underlying issues such as rotator cuff injuries. Treatment should focus on repairing associated injuries and reducing muscle tension through methods like running specific protocols tailored to nerve and muscle conditions. **Liver Health and Detoxification** The liver plays a crucial role in detoxifying the body, and certain conditions like cirrhosis require targeted treatment. Managing liver health may involve treating for toxicity, anesthesia, and providing support through supplements like lipoic acid and milk thistle. Protocols for conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver focus on dietary management, particularly the reduction of carbohydrate intake. **Restoring Muscle and Joint Function** In treating joint issues such as TMJ, understanding the biomechanical contributions is vital. A detailed approach involves treating torn or broken ligaments and connective tissues. For post-surgical recovery, such as ACL reconstruction, encouraging the appropriate exercises without further straining repaired tendons is key. Coordinated movement must be restored cautiously to ensure proper healing. **Dealing with Eczema and Immune System Responses** Eczema can often be linked to immune responses and is treated by addressing histamine levels and inflammation. It's often associated with other conditions such as MCAS, and a multi-pronged treatment approach that targets the immune system, skin, and gut health is often beneficial. **Dementia and Sensory Loss** The loss of olfactory senses (smell) can be a predictor of dementia. Understanding the relationship between sensory loss and cognitive decline is critical in early intervention. Questions regarding vaccination effects, particularly related to COVID-19, should be explored as they might impact the onset or progression of symptoms. Pain management and treatment are multifaceted, requiring a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and neurological factors involved. By addressing underlying causes of symptoms like phantom limb pain, improving liver function, and adopting holistic approaches to conditions like eczema and dementia, medical professionals can enhance treatment outcomes. Understanding these dynamics can empower healthcare providers to offer more effective interventions for various complex conditions.

ValuationPodcast.com - A podcast about all things Business + Valuation.
Hi, welcome back to ValuationPodcast.com — a podcast and video series about all things business and valuation. I'm Melissa Gragg, a financial mediator and business valuation expert in St. Louis, Missouri.Today I'm joined by Jeff Condren, an advisor to family business owners in the Chicagoland area who specializes in next-generation transitions and building the right team to make those transitions successful.In this episode, we're digging into a topic that doesn't get talked about enough: how valuation decisions shape the entire family wealth system — from retirement planning and risk balancing, to succession, fairness among siblings, taxes, and even family harmony.5 Key TakeawaysValuation is a family systems decision, not just a number. How you value the business influences retirement planning, sibling expectations, governance, and future conflict.Regular valuations prevent stalled deals and “money left on the table.” Overvaluing can kill interest; undervaluing can cost millions — being prepared protects leverage.Business risk changes how owners invest outside the business. Many owners take big risk inside the company, then prefer a more conservative investment portfolio to balance total risk.Next-gen transitions require early exposure, not holiday dinner conversations. Families need a multi-year plan to share information, clarify values, and create ownership structures that don't explode later.The right accountability team reduces taxes and reduces family conflict. Coordinated planning with a CFO/treasurer, CPA/auditor, estate planner, financial advisor, and valuation expert prevents legal, tax, and sibling-war landmines.Q&As from the episode:Q1: Why do family business owners need regular business valuations?A: Regular valuations help owners set a realistic price if a buyer approaches, avoid over- or undervaluing the company, and plan retirement and succession with credible numbers.Q2: How does business valuation affect family wealth planning?A: The valuation influences estate planning, gifting decisions, tax strategy, portfolio risk, and how “fair vs. equal” is structured among children and heirs.Q3: What happens if a business owner undervalues their company during a sale?A: Undervaluing can leave millions on the table, weaken negotiating power, and create a sale price that doesn't match the real economic value of the business.Q4: Why do business owners delay succession planning?A: Many owners are emotionally attached to the business, unsure what they'll do after exiting, and focused on day-to-day operations instead of long-term transition strategy.Q5: Who should be on the team for a family business transition?A: Typically: an internal CFO/treasurer, an external CPA/auditor, a valuation expert, an estate planner, and a financial advisor to coordinate taxes, ownership, and post-sale planning.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/condren/Website: https://www.mesirow.com/bio/jeff-condrenJeffrey Condren is a Senior Vice President and Wealth Advisor in Mesirow Wealth Management.

Tara reveals the part of the story no one else is telling. Using newly uncovered Signal chat logs exposed by investigative reporter Cam Rigby, this episode traces the violence in Minneapolis back to one specific location: 2614 Nicollet Avenue — an unassuming building allegedly tied to massive Somali-linked fraud operations worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Why were activists obsessively monitoring this address? Why did riots erupt only where fraud investigations were closing in? And why did the national narrative suddenly shift from fraud to “ICE = Nazis”? From Alex Pretty's role in blocking traffic to protect the site, to Joe Rogan connecting the dots on color-revolution tactics, Tara lays out how chaos is used to bury corruption — and why Americans are being deliberately distracted.
Tara delivers a blunt, unfiltered breakdown of what she calls a catastrophic messaging failure — and why it mattered. She argues that coordinated activist networks outperformed a scattered response, while leadership attention drifted elsewhere
Tara exposes what she calls the real story the media refuses to touch — not church disruptions, not optics, but hundreds of millions of federal dollars tied to organized fraud, activist enforcement, and violent obstruction of federal investigations ⚠️

From Minneapolis Riots to the Clinton Test
Overnight, the conflict escalated. Federal agents are targeted in Portland and Minneapolis, ICE officers are injured, and political leaders and media outlets rush to defend the attackers while demonizing law enforcement. This episode exposes what the hosts call a classic Marxist guerrilla war, playing out in real time on American streets—complete with political intimidation, media cover-ups, and massive financial corruption tied to illegal networks. From ICE agents being rammed by vehicles to hundreds of millions of dollars in cash leaving U.S. airports, the pieces are finally coming together. ⚠️
A month ago, Ned Rayun warned Laura Ingraham: America is undergoing a Marxist revolution within the Democrat Party. Today, his words feel prophetic. In this episode, we expose how coordinated political networks, ballot harvesting schemes, and targeted attacks on ICE and law enforcement are shaping Minneapolis and beyond.

PROTECTING THE FAMILY AND THE BACKYARD PHOTOGRAPH Colleague Paul Gregory. Following the assassination, Oswald's mother, Marguerite, contacted Pete Gregory seeking shelter for herself and Marina. Petecoordinated with the Secret Service to move the women to a hotel at Six Flags to protect them from the press and facilitate interrogation. Authorities were particularly focused on a photo of Oswald holding a rifle; Marina initially hesitated to admit she took it, fearing legal consequences. Pete Gregory helped bridge the trust gap between Marina and the Secret Service. The situation escalated when the family learned Lee Harvey Oswald had been shot. Marguerite and Marina were taken to Parkland Hospital to view his body, after which Marguerite began demanding he be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. NUMBER 5

Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman took center stage in the Donna Adelson trial and delivered one of the most consequential closing arguments of the entire case — a summation built on motive, timing, and a digital trail prosecutors say Donna cannot outrun. Cappleman told jurors the path to the truth was simple: “Follow the evidence and find her guilty.” And with that, she walked them step by step through the 2014 murder-for-hire plot that left FSU law professor Dan Markel dead in his driveway. Her message was direct. For Donna Adelson, relocation wasn't a hope — it was a mission. Years of emails, texts, and phone calls revealed that she viewed Wendi's move to South Florida as non-negotiable. When the courts refused to give her what she wanted, prosecutors argue Donna and her family turned to a criminal solution, with Charlie acting as the conduit to the hitmen. Cappleman emphasized patterns, not speculation: • Coordinated timing across phone calls • Code-like phrasing in text messages • Shifting money between family members • The language of control and urgency embedded in Donna's communications • A timeline that aligns motive, opportunity, and movement “Innocent people don't talk in code,” she reminded jurors — a line that cut through the courtroom. Using clear, memorable visuals, she tied every exhibit back to the same through-line: motive → method → meaning. Each piece of evidence reinforced the last, forming the narrative prosecutors want jurors to carry into deliberations: Donna Adelson wasn't on the periphery — she was at the center. The defense insists Donna is merely a “meddling mother-in-law,” not a murderer. But Cappleman argued the pattern is unmistakable: when legal avenues failed, Donna allegedly chose the illegal one. This clip matters because it captures the prosecution's final roadmap — the distilled narrative the jury will confront as they decide Donna Adelson's fate. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #GeorgiaCappleman #DanMarkel #ClosingArguments #TrueCrime #FloridaJustice #CourtroomDrama #MurderForHire #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this powerful and informative episode of The People's Podcast by Ismail, I sit down with Fauzia Deen, an activist lawyer and civilian board member of the Fairfax County Police Civilian Review Board in Virginia. Fauzia brings deep insight into the role of civilian oversight in policing and the ongoing work required to build accountability, transparency, and trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Our conversation explores Fauzia's personal journey into activism and law, what motivated her to serve on the civilian review board, and the real challenges faced when civilians are tasked with holding powerful systems accountable. She breaks down how the board functions, why civilian involvement matters, and what meaningful police reform looks like beyond slogans and headlines. This episode is an honest, necessary discussion about justice, civic responsibility, and the importance of community voices in shaping public safety. Fauzia Deen's work reminds us that change often happens at the local level-and that informed, engaged civilians play a critical role in that process.

Henry Kaiser: The Builder of Liberty Ships — Arthur Herman — Herman profiles Henry Kaiser, the second transformative figure in Freedom's Forge. Kaiser, a road construction entrepreneur who had previously coordinated monumental infrastructure projects including the Boulder Dam, demonstrated relentless commitment to ambitious thinking and delivery ahead of schedule and under budget constraints. In late 1940, Kaiser persuaded both British and American governments to contract him to construct "throwaway freighters"—Liberty ships—despite possessing no prior shipbuilding experience. Between 1941 and 1945, Kaiser successfully built 2,710 Liberty ships, fundamentally enabling Allied logistics and supply operations. 1941

CONTINUED 2/4 During Emperor Trajan's campaign against the Parthian Empire, a widespread and coordinated "diaspora revolt" erupted in 115–117 AD, beginning in Libya and spreading to Egypt, Cyprus, and Mesopotamia. This was a major challenge, forcing Trajan to divert a legion, as Egypt was the empire's strategic breadbasket. The revolt was spurred by the insulting Jewish tax, the fiscus Judaicus, paid to Jupiter, and the frustrated expectation that the Temple would be rebuilt within 70 years. The Jewish community in Alexandria, possibly the largest Jewish city in the ancient world, was wiped out during the suppression, a disaster for diaspora Judaism. 1614 SACK OF TROY

HEADLINE: China's Coordinated Aggression in the South China Sea: Analyzing the Philippine Vessel Ramming Incident GUEST NAMES: John Batchelor (Host) and Jim Fanell, Retired US Navy Intelligence Officer 1000-WORD SUMMARY: The program featured an in-depth discussion between host John Batchelor and Jim Fanell, a retired United States Navy intelligence officer, focusing on a recent and troubling ramming incident in the contested waters of the South China Sea's Spratly Islands. This incident involved Chinese vessels deliberately ramming a Philippine resupply ship that was en route to a Philippine outpost, marking another escalation in the ongoing territorial disputes that have made the South China Sea one of the world's most volatile maritime flashpoints. Fanell provided expert analysis that fundamentally reframes how this incident should be understood. Rather than viewing it as an isolated action by an overzealous ship captain acting independently or a spontaneous confrontation that escalated beyond control, Fanell argues that the ramming was a carefully coordinated operation directed from the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party. This assessment carries significant implications for understanding China's strategic intentions and the level of state control exercised over what might otherwise appear to be tactical-level maritime incidents. The coordinated nature of the operation becomes evident when examining the composition and deployment of Chinese forces involved in the incident. Fanell detailed that the ramming was not carried out by a single vessel but was instead supported by a substantial flotilla of Chinese maritime assets. This included vessels from China's maritime militia—ostensibly civilian fishing vessels that operate under state direction and serve paramilitary functions—multiple Coast Guard cutters representing China's official law enforcement presence at sea, and significantly, a warship from the People's Liberation Army Navy, representing the direct involvement of China's military forces. This multi-layered deployment of assets from different organizational structures within China's maritime forces demonstrates a level of coordination and planning that could only originate from centralized command authority. The presence of military, paramilitary, and quasi-civilian forces operating in concert reveals a sophisticated strategy designed to apply overwhelming pressure while maintaining some degree of plausible deniability about the military nature of the confrontation. Fanell emphasized that this incident is not an isolated occurrence but rather part of a consistent and identifiable pattern of Chinese operations concentrated in several key areas of the South China Sea. He specifically mentioned Scarborough Shoal, Sandy Cay, and Second Thomas Shoal as focal points of these coordinated Chinese activities. Each of these locations represents a contested feature in the South China Sea where the Philippines maintains claims and, in some cases, physical presence through grounded vessels or small outposts that serve as territorial markers. Scarborough Shoal, located approximately 120 miles from the Philippine coast, has been under effective Chinese control since a 2012 standoff, despite lying well within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone as defined by international law. Second Thomas Shoal has become particularly contentious because the Philippines deliberately grounded a World War II-era vessel, the Sierra Madre, on the shoal in 1999 to serve as a permanent outpost. The vessel houses a small garrison of Philippine marines, and China has repeatedly attempted to prevent resupply missions to this outpost, creating recurring confrontations. The pattern Fanell describes reveals a strategy of incremental pressure designed to exhaust the Philippines' ability and willingness to maintain its presence in these disputed areas. By consistently interfering with resupply operations, China aims to make it prohibitively difficult, dangerous, and expensive for the Philippines to sustain its outposts, potentially forcing their eventual abandonment and allowing China to assert de facto control. Fanell's analysis places this aggressive maritime behavior within the broader context of China's strategic objectives in the South China Sea. The Chinese Communist Party's ultimate goal, according to Fanell, is to establish complete sovereignty over the entire South China Sea, despite the overlapping claims of multiple neighboring countries including the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan, and despite a 2016 ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague that rejected China's expansive claims as having no legal basis under international law. Control of the South China Sea would provide China with several strategic advantages. The region contains vital shipping lanes through which approximately one-third of global maritime trade passes, including substantial energy shipments to East Asian economies. The area is believed to contain significant oil and natural gas reserves, though estimates vary widely. Additionally, control of the South China Sea would extend China's defensive perimeter far from its mainland coast and provide greater ability to project power throughout the Indo-Pacific region. Fanell also contextualized the ramming incident within the current state of US-China relations, suggesting that China's aggressive actions are partly designed to apply pressure on the United States during a period of heightened economic tensions between the two powers. The United States has maintained that it has a national interest in preserving freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and has conducted regular "freedom of navigation operations" to challenge what it views as excessive Chinese maritime claims. The United States also maintains a mutual defense treaty with the Philippines, though the precise circumstances under which this treaty would be invoked in response to incidents in disputed waters remains a subject of ongoing strategic ambiguity. The incident and Fanell's analysis raise critical questions about the trajectory of tensions in the South China Sea and the potential for escalation. If China continues to employ increasingly aggressive tactics, coordinated at the highest levels of government, the risk of a serious confrontation—whether with the Philippines directly or with the United States in its role as a treaty ally—increases substantially. The international community faces the challenge of responding to Chinese actions that systematically erode the rules-based international order while stopping short of the kind of overt military aggression that would trigger clear and immediate responses. 1939 REUBEN JAMES
