Welcome to Day 2882 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2882 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 135:8-14 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2882 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2882 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Sovereign of History – Dismantling the Rebel Giant Kings In our previous stop along this grand, poetic landscape, we explored the opening movement of Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Five, where we witnessed a magnificent temple liturgy that unmasked the false gods of the nations. We watched as Yahweh effortlessly demonstrated His total, seamless mastery over nature—commanding the clouds, directing the lightning, and releasing the wind from His royal celestial storehouses. We saw how the psalmist executed a brilliant, razor-sharp polemical attack against Baal, stripping the Canaanite storm god of his fraudulent resume. We discovered the comforting truth that Israel is Yahweh's segullah—His private, prized, and treasured possession, chosen out of the chaotic landscape of a disinherited world. Today, the temple liturgy takes a powerful, dramatic turn. The psalmist shifts his focus away from Yahweh's absolute sovereignty over nature, and directs our eyes to His absolute, undeniable sovereignty over human history and spiritual geography. He takes the traveling assembly on a historical tour, demonstrating that the True King doesn't just manage the weather; He systematically dismantles the greatest earthly emp'res, and violently crushes the giant rebel kings who attempt to block the expansion of His kingdom. We are exploring Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Five, verses eight through fourteen, in the New Living Translation. Let us step onto the trail, adjust our cosmic lenses, and watch the Righteous Judge execute justice against the principalities of darkness. The First Segment is: The Judgment of Egypt's Incarnate Gods Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Five: verses eight and nine. He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals. He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his people. The historical narrative begins in the dark, oppressive brick-kilns of Egypt, tracing the opening lines of Israel's great cosmic liberation. “He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals. He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his people.” To fully comprehend the sheer scale of the spiritual warfare embedded in these familiar words, we must look past our modern, secular history books, and view the Exodus through the profound lens of the Ancient Israelite divine council worldview, as masterfully taught by Doctor Michael S. Heiser. In the book of Exodus, chapter twelve, verse twelve, Yahweh explicitly declares the ultimate, underlying purpose of the plagues. He states, “Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment; I am Yahweh.” The Exodus was not merely a political dispute over human labor; it was an open, aggressive courtroom trial, and a declaration of war against the corrupt, territorial elohim of the Nile. Egypt was the premier superpower of the ancient world, operating under the direct spiritual inspiration of powerful, rebellious members of the heavenly host. Pharaoh himself was not viewed merely as a human politician; he was worshiped as an incarnate god—the living proxy, and the supreme avatar, of the rebel spiritual principalities. When Pharaoh oppressed the chosen family of God, he was acting as the mouthpiece for the cosmic rebellion. Therefore, when Yahweh unleashed His miraculous signs and wonders, He was systematically target-shooting the Egyptian pantheon. He turned the Nile into blood to humiliate the river gods; He blocked out the sun to blind the sun god, Ra; and He paralyzed the land with darkness. The terrifying, ultimate climax of this cosmic execution occurred when the Lord destroyed the firstborn of both people and animals. In the ancient Near East, the firstborn son represented the strength, the legal inheritance, and the future legacy of the household. By striking down the firstborn—including the firstborn son of Pharaoh himself—Yahweh permanently broke the spiritual back of the empire. He demonstrated that the gods of Egypt were utterly helpless, completely unable to protect their own biological and spiritual lineages from the superior authority of the Creator. The proud, arrogant principalities of the Nile were weighed in the celestial balances, found wanting, and publicly stripped of their power. The Second Segment is: Dismantling the Gatekeepers of the Underworld Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Five: verses ten through twelve. He struck down great nations and slaughtered mighty kings— Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the rulers of Canaan. He gave their land as an inheritance, a special possession to his people Israel. The historical tour moves from the waters of the Red Sea, to the rugged, bloody battlefields on the eastern side of the Jordan River. “He struck down great nations and slaughtered mighty kings—Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the rulers of Canaan. He gave their land as an inheritance, a special possession to his people Israel.” To the casual reader, the names Sihon and Og might seem like obscure, boring footnotes from ancient military history. But to the ancient Israelite pilgrim singing this song, these two names triggered a profound sense of awe, and holy terror. These were not ordinary human kings; they were the terrifying, giant gatekeepers of the cosmic rebellion. Let us unpack the spiritual geography of these territories through Doctor Heiser's research. In the book of Deuteronomy, we discover that Og, the king of Bashan, was a literal remnant of the giant Rephaim. His massive iron bedstead was over thirteen feet long! In the ancient Near Eastern mindset, the Rephaim were not just tall people; their lineage was directly connected to the Nephilim—the hybrid offspring resulting from the spiritual corruption of the Watchers recorded in Genesis chapter six. They were the physical, and spiritual, anomalies produced by the rebel gods to contaminate the human race, and block the redemptive plans of Yahweh. Furthermore, the region of Bashan was universally recognized as the geographic and spiritual epicenter of darkness. Located at the foot of Mount Hermon—the exact site where the rebel angels originally staged their mutiny—Bashan was poetically referred to as the "place of the serpent," and the literal "gate of the underworld." Sihon and Og ruled over this demonic stronghold, acting as a massive, supernatural wall designed to intimidate Israel, and prevent them from ever entering the Promised Land. When Yahweh struck down great nations, and slaughtered these mighty giant kings, He was not just clearing a physical highway for Israel. He was executing a spectacular, cosmic cleansing of the geography. The Divine Warrior marched into the very territory of the dead, confronted the most terrifying, monstrous proxies of the rebel council, and completely obliterated them from the face of the earth. He proved that giant stature, demonic lineages, and ancient spiritual fortresses are absolutely nothing but dust in the presence of the Almighty. And look at the ultimate, glorious result of this victory in verse twelve: “He gave their land as an inheritance, a special possession to his people Israel.” This is the beautiful, geographic reversal of the Tower of Babel. At Babel, humanity was disinherited, and handed over to the rule of the lesser elohim. But here, Yahweh violently reclaims the land from the rebels, completely evicts the demonic tenants, and hands the territory over to His segullah—His special possession. The Promised Land becomes a restored beachhead of Eden, a sacred space where the cosmic order, truth, and righteousness of the true King can finally flourish. The Third Segment is: The Eternal Courtroom Verdict Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Five: verses thirteen and fourteen. Your name, O Lord, endures forever; your fame, O Lord, is known to every generation. For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants. Having demonstrated Yahweh's absolute mastery over history, the psalmist transitions into a magnificent, courtroom declaration of praise, drawing a sharp contrast between the mortality
"Do nothing for us without us." According to today's guest Robyn Bussey, that operating principle is the basis for effective community health work. "You don't go into a community and dictate. You go and listen and trust and be a partner," she adds. As you'll learn in this enlightening conversation, Bussey is following that approach in her current work as Just Health Director at the Partnership for Southern Equity, an Atlanta-based nonprofit advancing racial equity and shared prosperity across the South. On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, Bussey provides illuminating examples of community-rooted work in South Fulton County and rural Georgia, and explains why community health workers may be the most underutilized asset in addressing health disparities. This wide-ranging interview with host Michael Carrese also explores: Bussey's candid perspective on what happened to the surge of interest in health equity that occurred during COVID; Why life expectancy gains in many Southern states have lagged behind the rest of the country; Her advice to students and early-career clinicians about where they're needed most.

The birthright citizenship case and immigration raids have drawn headlines and national attention, but Lucas Guttentag, who teaches immigration law at Stanford and Yale law schools, says some of the Trump administration's most consequential immigration changes are unfolding with far less public scrutiny. Guttentag, one of the nation's leading immigration law experts and founder of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, joins host Professor Pamela Karlan for a wide-ranging conversation about current American immigration policies. Guttentag discusses his time in the Biden administration and compares policies in the first Trump administration with those of the second. He also focuses on the Immigration Policy Tracking Project, an effort he launched in 2017 with law students to document every Trump administration immigration policy, implementation memo, directive, and related legal challenge. The tracker, he explains, is designed to make visible what can otherwise be hard to see: hundreds of policy changes that, taken together, are reshaping the immigration system. The episode examines what these changes mean for immigration courts, bond hearings, temporary protected status, green card applications, and the lawyers challenging the administration in court. One of Guttentag's central points is that immigration is a civil system, not a criminal one, and the distinction matters for anyone trying to understand what is happening now.

Recap: Dismantling ControlThis week we explored control through a Quantum Psychosomatics lens, shifting the focus away from behavior and toward the prediction underneath it.Control is rarely about power. More often, it is a strategy the nervous system develops to reduce uncertainty and maintain coherence. What appears as perfectionism, overthinking, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, or micromanagement is often an attempt to prevent a feared outcome from occurring.The key insight:Control is not the pattern. Control is the solution the system created for the pattern.Instead of asking, "Why am I controlling?" we asked:"What prediction is my need for control protecting?"This question reveals the architecture beneath the behavior. Common predictions include:If I don't manage everything, something bad will happen.I am responsible for other people's outcomes.Uncertainty is dangerous.No one is coming to help.Relaxation is unsafe.Once the prediction becomes visible, the next question emerges:"What assignment made that prediction necessary?"The goal is not to force surrender or eliminate control. The goal is to update the model generating the need for control in the first place.Curiosity PromptWhere in your life are you working hardest to control an outcome, and what are you predicting would happen if you stopped?Welcome to SuperFreq® — Frequency-First LivingA podcast, Substack publication + channel dedicated to decoding the hidden patterns beneath behavior, identity, and reality itself.

As we cascade further into the digital age, concerns over privacy and data security continue to rise with increasing urgency. As artificial intelligence expands its reach, vast aggregates of personal data are constantly being mined to refine future models. But, the fight for digital privacy is as old as the digital age itself. In Privacy's Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance, author and Digital Rights Activist, Cindy Cohn, chronicles her career-long battle to preserve our right to privacy online. Part memoir and part legal history for a general audience, Privacy's Defender reminds the reader just how hard-won the privacy rights we enjoy today were. Cohn stresses the societal importance of digital privacy, citing its role in combatting authoritarianism, organizing public protests, and reinforcing other human rights as well. Dismantling the myth that our digital landscape was the sole work of several male charismatic tech founders, Cohn instead paints a fuller picture of our technological history. Through weaving her own story with the history of Crypto Wars, FBI gag orders, and the post-9/11 surveillance state, Cohn reveals how she became a seasoned leader in the early digital rights movement, even helping her to discover her birth parents and a life partner. Along the way, she also details the development of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which Cohn grew from a ragtag group of lawyers and hackers into one of the most powerful digital rights organizations in the world. As we all know, advancements in technology never cease. Reckoning with its impact on our basic human rights is a conversation that Cindy Cohn has been having for over 30 years. Join Cohn at Town Hall Seattle, for a night of education, storytelling, and a reinvigoration in our fight to protect our rights in the digital age. Cindy Cohn is Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. From 2000 to 2015, she served as EFF's Legal Director as well as its General Counsel. Today, she spearheads a team of more than 120 lawyers, activists, and technologists who are dedicated to ensuring that technology supports speech, privacy, and innovation for all the people of the world.
In this mind-bending episode, I chat with activist and researcher Sacha Stone to dismantle the architecture of the modern Matrix. We pierce through the veil of globalist control loops and media-driven panic to explore how institutional systems mimic the ancient, energy-harvesting design of the Archons. From reclaiming individual sovereignty against legalistic illusions to understanding our current reality as a holographic simulation, we map out the true nature of the cosmic battlefield. Ultimately, Stone shares his vision for collapsing the demiurgic grid, reminding us that the ultimate rebellion is not a political struggle, but an internal awakening to our own divine spark.

In this episode, I'm joined by Marley Rose Harris, founder of the Higher Self app and creator of the Clear the Fear method.I wanted to speak to Marley because I was interested in how she works with fear. Where it starts, how it gets stored, and why it can keep showing up in decisions around money, love, work, safety and self-worth.Marley's life changed after losing her dad to suicide. That loss sent her into a lot of grief, but also into trying to understand what actually helps people heal. Over time, that became the work she now does with limiting beliefs, subconscious patterns and the stories people keep living from, often without realising it.We talk about Clear the Fear, self-trust, emotional safety, family, money, and the strange ways fear can keep us attached to lives we say we do not want. Marley also walks me through one of my own money ceilings in real time, which was slightly confronting, but probably useful.This is a conversation about fear, but really it is about what sits underneath it.Episode HighlightsMarley's work with the Clear the Fear methodHow fear can show up in money, love, work, safety and self-worthLosing her dad to suicide and how grief changed the direction of her lifeWhy Marley became interested in limiting beliefs and subconscious patternsThe stories we carry without realising they are shaping our livesWhy fear often comes back to a lack of safetyBuilding self-trust and learning to feel safe within yourselfWhat happens when you stop running from a feeling and actually let yourself feel itHow old beliefs can create ceilings around what we allow ourselves to receiveMarley walking me through one of my own money ceilings in real timeThe link between pain, pleasure and the choices we keep makingWhy family, friendship and feeling at home matter more than Marley once realisedChapters00:00 Marley on money, family and what really matters00:48 Meet Marley Rose Harris03:12 Marley's story and choosing a different path06:58 Losing her dad and beginning to heal12:38 Scarcity, abundance and changing old beliefs15:03 Why fear often comes back to safety20:43 Self-trust and creating safety within yourself31:04 How Clear the Fear works41:03 The stories we carry without realising it54:08 Pain, pleasure, money and what we move towardsGuest Bio Marley Rose Harris is the CEO and founder of Higher Self and creator of the Clear the Fear method.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Dr. Stephanie Byerly—an anesthesiologist, TedX speaker, and certified life and leadership coach—for a profound and eye-opening conversation about the hidden epidemics affecting women's health: unprocessed trauma, emotional numbness, and the exhausting treadmill of the "achiever identity." Dr. Byerly shares her powerful personal journey, from surviving a chaotic childhood and a traumatic marriage to a life-changing epiphany during a psychodrama workshop. She realized that she had spent her life emotionally numb, a trait that directly mirrored her career in anesthesia. Key Topics Discussed: The "UnNUM" Method: How Dr. Byerly helps high-achieving women move out of survival mode and reclaim their agency using cognitive thought models and somatic safety. The Midlife Awakening: Why women in their late 30s to 50s suddenly experience a "screaming soul" as hormonal shifts and self-actualization force them to confront years of shrinking to fit in.

The Trump administration is doing everything in its power to break the EPA. Will the agency survive? This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about the rise of anti-bacterial resistance due to climate change, and the EPA's latest attempt to weaken drinking water standards for PFAS chemicals. Then former EPA scientist Dr. Kyla Bennett, senior scientist at Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, discusses how the critical EPA programs that were designed to protect human health and the environment are at risk under the current administration and how the loss of EPA scientists and policy experts could spell real trouble for us now and in the future.
On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Nicholas Enrich for Part 3 of Food Tank's series exploring the far-reaching impacts of dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development. Enrich is a former civil servant who worked at the U.S. Agency for International Development under four administrations and the author of the new book Into the Wood Chipper: A Whistleblower's Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID. During their conversation, they talk about why he released a series of whistleblower memos to expose the administration's actions, the generational impacts of dismantling the agency, and advice for civil servants trying to speak out against unethical or illegal behavior in their own offices. Plus, U.S. states move to ban food dyes and additives, Thailand's THAIFEX expo highlights the global shift away from ultra-processed foods, U.S.-Mexico trade disputes continue to drive up tomato prices, a federal decision threatens to remove bison from public lands in Montana, and the Hajj brings people and culinary traditions together.

Today, I'm thrilled to connect with Dr. Jordan Emont. He is a board-certified OB-GYN with specialty training in menopause medicine, integrative hormonal care, and sexual health, and is one of fewer than 5,000 physicians worldwide who hold the Menopause Society-certified practitioner designation. In this conversation, we unpack the fear narrative surrounding HRT and clarify the distinctions between estrogen, progesterone, and cancer risk. We explore the impact of the Women's Health Initiative and discuss why rigid dogmatism has no place in women's health, the risks associated with early menopause and premature ovarian insufficiency, individual risk stratification, and contraindications to HRT. We also examine the connection between gut health and colorectal cancer, metabolic health as a modifiable cancer risk, and the emotional side of middle age and hormone replacement therapy. Stay tuned for one of the most important and thought-provoking conversations we've ever had on the podcast. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How fears about hormone therapy are often based on outdated or misinterpreted data The difference between physiologic hormones and synthetic hormone formulations How the Women's Health Initiative's messaging that HRT causes breast cancer comes from an oversimplification of data How the fear-driven WHI headlines continue to impact women's and clinicians' thoughts about hormone replacement therapy How women's concerns about menopause, sexual health, and menstrual symptoms are often dismissed The health risks associated with early menopause and premature ovarian insufficiency How declining estrogen levels affect multiple body systems, including gut-related and immune-related pathways Why is insulin resistance a major concern? True contraindications for avoiding HRT Bio: Dr. Jordan Emont Dr. Jordan Emont is a board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Certified Practitioner who specializes in menopause care for women who've been dismissed, undertreated, or told their symptoms are just part of aging. He's here to change that conversation. He trained at Yale, Brown, and Columbia, and is now an adjunct clinical faculty member at Stanford. He works at a community health center in the Bay Area, providing care to underserved populations, and runs his own private telehealth practice focused on complex menopause care.

Evan Ellis characterizes protests in Bolivia as an organized "coup in motion" funded by coca growers' unions. Figures like Evo Morales and rivals within the government benefit from dismantling reforms. The instability threatens counter-drug efforts and allows criminal organizations to flourish while the government struggles to maintain order amidst resource blockades. (6/16)1900
The meeting reviewed Kerry Lutz's five administrative petitions challenging app-directed parking signage and vendor practices across Florida and explained the legal and procedural theory underlying the campaign. Presenters described substantive claims, statutory remedies, procedural deadlines, and potential statewide compliance risks tied to federal funding and the MUTCD. Substantive legal theory: Lutz alleges many app-directed parking signs lack required regulatory text and display commercial logos, violating the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and Florida traffic statutes; noncompliant signs are characterized as public nuisances and therefore legally unenforceable and removable. The petitions also assert that app-based vendor practices siphon municipal funds through revenue splits and convenience fees, and seek rules capping vendor compensation at actual interchange costs and banning per-ticket private compensation or privatized citation issuance. Procedural strategy and leverage: The filings are Chapter 120 administrative petitions—declaratory statements (90‑day response) and rulemaking petitions (30‑day response)—designed to force timely agency action rather than prolonged inaction. Presenters emphasized that a 2018 constitutional change eliminated judicial deference, requiring de novo review by administrative law judges, which increases the likelihood agencies will be reversed on appeal if orders conflict with plain statutory or MUTCD text. Privacy and minors: Petitions raise privacy and parental-consent concerns, arguing that requiring drivers, including 16–17‑year‑old minors, to accept app terms and surrender location/payment data may bind minors without verified parental consent; the petitions request verifiable parental-consent mechanisms in the apps. Regulatory and funding implications: Presenters tied the sign noncompliance to a Florida Department of Transportation memo and federal highway funding rules to argue a potential statewide federal‑compliance risk. The approach was framed as a low‑cost procedural blueprint leveraging existing statutes to compel transparency and administrative change as municipal parking systems become more digital and automated.

In this episode in the “From Binah to Daas” Series, I explore Shiras HaYam not merely as a historical song sung after the splitting of the sea, but as a daily framework for dismantling the illusion that the systems, pressures, and powers we encounter in life operate independently from Hashem. By walking line by line through Az Yashir, we uncover how the Torah trains us to reinterpret moments where reality appears closed, overwhelming, or fragmented, and how Kriyas Yam Suf becomes an ongoing internal experience that transforms intellectual belief into lived awareness. This episode is designed to help listeners deepen their perception of Divine unity, move through fear and uncertainty differently, and understand why Chazal placed Shiras HaYam at the climax of Pesukei D'Zimrah immediately before prayer.Join the Conversation!

On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative practitioners who turn ideas into impact. Today we're stepping into the studio with a guest to explore what it really means to trust yourself, dismantle habits, and make braver, more embodied art. Welcome choreographer, director, educator and author … Alexandra Beller.Alexandra's Website@alexandrabellerdances on InstagramAlexandra on YouTubeAlexandra's Facebook pageLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alexandra-beller-0a56a57A former member of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, she is now the Artistic Director of Alexandra Beller/Dances, having created more than 40 dance theater works internationally.Her teaching spans Princeton University, the Laban Institute, and residencies around the globe. In theater, she's worked Off-Broadway and regionally, with credits including Lincoln Center and A.R.T.Alexandra is currently writing two books:The Embodied Conductor (Meredith Music, 2025) andThe Anatomy of Art (Bloomsbury, 2026).Her work blends somatic practice, rigorous inquiry, and creative freedom to help artists deepen their process and unlock new possibilities.1 — The Creative Process as a Living PracticeAlexandra, you've spent decades inside the creative process — as performer, choreographer, director, and educator. What inspired you to write a book about the creative process now, and what do you hope artists take away from it?Follow-up:The Anatomy of Art reads like a field guide for creative life — part poetic meditation, part practical workbook — with chapters on Time, Space, Meaning, Relationship, Process, Material, and more. Each section offers inquiry prompts, embodiment exercises, and devising practices that help artists reconnect to their sensory intelligence and personal voice.You also weave in contributions from seminal voices like Anne Bogart and Deborah Hay, folding perspectives from across disciplines and generations into the book.Can you share how you designed The Anatomy of Art to live at that intersection of instinct and analysis — and why it felt important to create something that offers rigorous tools while still honoring the mystery of making?2 — Trust, Doubt, and Creative CourageYou speak often about trusting yourself in the creative process. That sounds simple — but it's incredibly difficult in practice.What does it really mean to trust yourself as an artist — and how do creatives actually begin to do that?Optional follow-up:What role does doubt play? Is it something to eliminate — or something to work with?3 — Structure and FreedomYou work with systems like Laban and Bartenieff — which are rigorous, structured methodologies — yet your approach is also deeply poetic and personal.How do you balance structure and freedom in your work?And more broadly, how can artists use structure without becoming constrained by it?4 — Dismantling Habits & Artistic ReinventionYou talk about dismantling habits — creatively and personally.Why is breaking creative habits so essential for growth?What happens if we don't?Follow-up:Is there a connection between the parts of ourselves we hide and the habits we form in our art?5 — Joy, Burnout & Staying PorousArtists often struggle with burnout, pressure, comparison, and the fear of not being “enough.”How can artists stay porous and brave without becoming overwhelmed?And how do we create conditions for joy — especially in careers that can feel filled with struggle?Key themes:• The body as intelligence• Trust as a practice, not a personality trait• Structure as a container for freedom• Dismantling habits to create braver work• Joy as a discipline

Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) continues to unwind, so BevNET spirits editor Ferron Salniker joined the Brewbound Podcast to break down the latest. RNDC, once the country's second-largest wine and spirits distributor, has been selling-off markets piecemeal to competitors from coast to coast. Announced deals have included 11 markets to the Reyes Beverage Group, brand rights and some assets to Columbia Distributing, operations in 17 control states to Martignetti. (Note: this conversation took place before Breakthru announced it would acquire RNDC operations in Kentucky and Indiana or that it was revealed Quality Beverage would buy RNDC assets in Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.) RNDC's current state can be traced to the butterfly effect of a host of suppliers leaving its California operations over the last several years, resulting in the company exiting the state. "It's no surprise that if your biggest suppliers leave your biggest state and beyond, then the rest of your business is going to be affected," Salniker said. "What's happening now is no surprise, but it feels like it's happening all of a sudden." In addition to her analysis, the episode features conversations with Eco Beverages co-founder Anna Nadasdy and Russian River Brewing co-owner Natalie Cilurzo. Nadasdy discusses her organization's push to help craft beverage manufacturers navigate Extended Producer Responsibility laws. Cilurzao recapped her brewery's recent Pliny the Younger launch and Russian River's latest push to share its sustainability work. Justin and Jess also break down recent beer news, including Lord Hobo and Lone Pine's pivot to contact production and Q1 earnings from Boston Beer and Molson Coors.
Don't think for a moment that the dismantling of the 1965 Voting Rights Act stops with disenfranchising Black voters. Once Republicans are finished suppressing Black votes, women are next, gay Americans will follow, and then they'll come for the working poor. Nobody is safe once if the powers that be are allowed to dismantle democracy. Dismantling the voting rights act isn't a Black issue. It's a EVERYBODY issue and everybody needs to ACT LIKE IT.

In this episode of The Mandy Connell Show, Mandy dives into the world of Victor Marx, a gubernatorial candidate with a questionable past. She's joined by investigative reporter Cori Kennedy, who's been fact-checking Marx's claims. They discuss Marx's alleged heroics, including his supposed rescue of 45,000 people, which Kennedy reveals may be nothing more than a fabrication. The conversation also touches on Marx's martial arts background, which Kennedy questions, and the potential implications of Marx's candidacy on the Republican ticket. Mandy and Cori also explore the ethics of robot development and the need for a framework to regulate their use.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The goals of the Trump administration's war with Iran have remained undefined since hostilities began on February 28, 2026. It remains unclear if the objective is regime change, ballistic missile control, or the dismantling of the nuclear program. The war is characterized by a lack of harmony between Israeli and U.S. strategic goals, which Germanicusdescribes as an "operational gambit" rather than a coherent strategy. The Iranian government (the Parthians) has issued a 30-day ultimatum demanding the opening of the Straits of Hormuz, the lifting of sanctions, reparations for air force damage, and an IDF retreat from Lebanon. The American presidency has transformed into an "Imperial Institution" or "Empire," allowing the president to prosecute wars without significant resistance from Congress, mirroring the authority of Roman emperors. The shift to an all-volunteer force and the federalization of the National Guard have created a military structure that is primarily loyal to the "emperor" (the president). A primary weakness of this "emperor system" is the suppression of dissent within the administration. Like the German general staff during Hitler's "Operation Sea Lion," current advisors offer only "consultative" or "weaselly" dissent rather than challenging the feasibility of the war. 2/31968 VIETNAM WAR PEOTESTERS
The SPLC indictment raises a much bigger question than nonprofit corruption: Did the FBI and federal bureaucracy use ideological organizations to shape domestic terrorism threat assessments? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how the Southern Poverty Law Center became a case study in state power laundering, where partisan activist labels were pushed into FBI work products, training, and the broader domestic terror framework. This episode goes beyond the outrage to expose how the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, the Strategic Implementation Plan, and Action 1.1.1c created a backdoor around the Constitution. What You'll Learn: The Shadow Network: How the SPLC indictment connects to the FBI, informants, shell companies, and domestic terrorism analysis. The Case Study: Why the anti-Catholic memo revealed a much deeper pipeline between ideological nonprofits and federal agencies. State Power Laundering: How "non-governmental experts" help launder partisan narratives into official federal threat assessments. Vague Labels: Why terms like anti-government, anti-authority, extremism, hate, and misinformation can be used to target ordinary Americans. The Remedy: What Congress must do to dismantle the mechanism and stop the bureaucracy from using third parties to bypass the Fourth Amendment. This is not just about the SPLC. The SPLC is the case study. The bureaucracy is the threat. The mechanism must be dismantled.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was once the global gold standard for public health. Today, it faces an existential workforce crisis. In this high-stakes episode, Yolanda Jacobs, President of AFGE Local 2883, pulls back the curtain on the "systematic dismantling" of the CDC. From the elimination of the agency's EEO office to the mass terminations that left critical health programs in the dark, Jacobs details a workforce in "the gutter" and an institution operating without a permanent director or a recognized union contract. We dive deep into the specific human and operational costs of the 2025–2026 restructuring, including: The Accommodation Crisis: How the elimination of the EEO office on April 1, 2025, has left veterans with PTSD and disabled workers hired under Schedule A facing AWOL charges and removal proposals. The 15-Minute Cutoff: A look at the "indiscriminate" layoffs in February and April 2025, where scientists were cut off from their research files with just minutes of notice, erasing years of progress in chronic disease prevention. Contract "Reneging": Why management has stopped honoring the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), forcing the union to vacate its space and triggering national-level litigation. The Financial Irony: How the denial of reasonable accommodations has triggered over 200 EEO complaints, generating millions in legal fees that contradict the administration's "efficiency" mandate. This isn't just a labor story—it's a warning about the stability of the nation's public health infrastructure.

Not truths, but theories to consider in regards to yourself and your beliefs and ultimately how your beliefs are guiding your life for better and worse. My guest is Nir Eyal (Near A-yall). Nir consults, and teaches about the intersection of psychology, technology, and human potential. He previously taught at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and is the author of the international bestsellers Hooked, and Indistractible, which have sold over 1 million copies in more than 30 languages. Nir's research and writing has been featured in The New York Times and Harvard Business Review, and he is a regular contributor to Psychology Today. Nir has a new book, BEYOND BELIEF: The Science-Backed Way to Stop Limiting Yourself and Achieve Breakthrough Results, and I took the opportunity to go head on with our cultural perspective on beliefs. To help you see if you're interested, I'll read some concepts that came from Nir and our talk: Beliefs can be helpful regardless of if they are true. Beliefs are the driver of sustained motivation. But not because they are necessarily true. If you make a triangle with belief on one side and behavior on the other, belief is the foundation underneath. Facts are true whether you believe in them or not. Faith is conviction that doesn't require evidence, and belief is the messy space between fact and faith. We don't agree about what we choose to put our faith in, we argue about whether our faith is true and other's faith is false. A belief is only good if it holds up to real-world feedback, remains open to revision, and doesn't require ignoring evidence to sustain it. Healthy belief requires intellectual humility. And a couple side items that came up, “All pain is real. And it's all in your brain.” And, “Your brain isn't seeing reality - it's seeing your beliefs about reality.” If this sounds intriguing, stay tuned. You can find Nir's book, Beyond Belief, anywhere.
