2025-12-15 | UPDATES #079 | “Pax Americana is over.” We've known this for a while, but Chancellor Merz's speech still dropped like a bomb going off. And it was a warning flare from the centre of Europe's security architecture. In this episode we cover Chancellor Merz's speech, the Berlin peace push, and the emerging European fear that Washington is no longer an ally — possibly even adversary.This weekend, Chancellor Friedrich Merz told a party congress in Munich that Europe must brace for a fundamental shift in its relationship with the United States — because the American-guaranteed peace that defined Europe's postwar order is, in his words, “largely over.” (Reuters)----------SOURCES: Reuters (Dec 13–14, 2025): Merz “Pax Americana” quote; Berlin ceasefire talks; U.S. plan terms.Reuters (Dec 9, 2025): U.S. NSS attack on European democracies; “cultivating resistance” inside EU; Merz response.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 사유의 용기| Thinking in an Age of Distrust: On Anti-Intellectualism and Other Stories — The One with Mr. Gbane Okolo | Episode 36 (2025)This episode asks something quietly radical in our moment: what if the real crisis isn't ignorance, but the steady erosion of how we relate to knowledge, to one another, and to responsibility?In my conversation with Mr. Gbane Okolo, we talk about what it's like to think deeply in a world that often feels impatient with nuance, how curiosity can start to feel risky, how expertise can be misunderstood. How simply asking careful questions can come with social and emotional costs. Gbane reflects on anti-intellectualism not as a buzzword, but as something people quietly bump into every day.We also make room for the pressures people don't always say out loud, especially financial stress. Not the dramatic, headline kind, but the quieter strain of living “in between”: planning a future while your footing still feels temporary, carrying responsibility before stability fully arrives, trying to stay hopeful while the timeline keeps stretching. It's a reality many students, immigrants, and early-career professionals recognize immediately, even if they rarely hear it named with tenderness.From there, our conversation moves through faith, science, and intellectual humility; through technology, AI, and the strange way modern tools can mirror our fears as much as our progress. Gbane shares why he believes a shift is coming—a growing hunger for authentic connection, critical thinking, and human presence in a world that's becoming increasingly automated.At its heart, this episode is about staying curious when it would be easier not to. About thinking carefully, living honestly, and giving ourselves permission to ask better questions, even when the world seems uncomfortable with depth.

December 11, 2025: In today's episode, I break down five major stories reshaping the future of work and leadership. I start with the growing crisis of trust as employees hesitate to adopt new AI tools, then dive into the global debate around "neurorights" and the push to protect cognitive privacy in an era of emerging neurotechnology. I unpack AT&T's candid admission that cultural fixes came far too late, explore how AI managers are beginning to automate managerial busywork and influence organizational design, and examine Disney's landmark partnership with OpenAI and what it signals for the future of creativity and intelligent content creation. Each story includes a futurist lens that connects today's headlines to the deeper shifts every leader must understand to build a truly future-ready organization.

Can you be a Christian and not go to church? In this short Ask Dr. E episode, Dr. Michael Easley walks through Hebrews 10:19–25 to explain why the Christian life is designed to be lived together. Salvation is rooted in faith alone—yet the “one another” commands throughout the New Testament show why spiritual growth, encouragement, accountability, and service flourish inside the local church. Whether you're struggling with church hurt, drifted after the pandemic, or wondering if community is optional, this episode offers clarity and grace rooted in Scripture. Key Topics -Why church attendance isn't what saves you -How Hebrews 10 shapes the Christian's call to gather -The three exhortations: Draw near, Hold fast, Stir up -Why the “one another” life requires a local body -How your gifts matter to your church—and why you matter to them Chapters 00:00 – Why This Question Matters 00:25 – Can You Be a Christian and Not Go to Church? 01:00 – Post-Pandemic Drift & Distrust of Churches 01:45 – Hebrews 10:19–25 Explained 02:35 – Draw Near: Access Through Christ 03:10 – Hold Fast: Hope Anchored in Our High Priest 03:55 – Stir Up One Another: Love & Good Deeds 04:40 – What “Stimulate One Another” Really Means 05:20 – Why You Can't Live the Christian Life Alone 06:10 – “Not Forsaking Gathering Together” in Context 07:05 – The Power of the One-Another Commands 08:00 – Church vs. Mere “Community” 08:45 – Why the Local Church Needs You 09:20 – A Loving Push: Get Back to Church

"If you trust people, your life is very nice." "The bringing people together with one common objective needs to be carefully thought out and defining the processes very carefully needs to be thought out and don't imagine that the process will be figured out by the people themselves." "They are looking for a leader who is responsible, who can make the decision." "Be transparent."  Brief Bio Armel Cahierre is a French-trained engineer who built a multi-country career across R&D, turnaround management, consulting, private equity-adjacent deal work, and consumer retail. After early technical work in Japan (including R&D exposure through Thomson during Japan's 1980s electronics peak), he returned to Europe for an MBA at INSEAD and moved into industrial leadership roles, taking on high-responsibility turnaround assignments in his late 20s across France, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland. He later helped open a European office for a US firm pioneering semantic analysis for qualitative market research, working with major global brands. That experience led to entrepreneurship in eyewear (ski goggles and sunglasses), a subsequent exit to an Italian group, and executive-level work tied to licensing and Western European markets. After a period in California doing pre- and post-M&A consulting (including carve-outs linked to the Vivendi break-up), he returned to Japan, became President of Paris Miki, and later pivoted after a Cerberus transaction collapsed on the day of the Lehman shock. He then founded B4F in Japan, building a members-only, online flash-sales model that sources only through official brand channels and emphasises simplicity of operations, trust, and process discipline. Armel Cahierre's leadership story, is less a straight line than a sequence of deliberately chosen reinventions anchored by one constant: clarity of purpose and an intolerance for unnecessary complexity. As Founder and President of B4F, he operates a members-only flash sales platform focused primarily on fashion and lifestyle brands, with time-limited sales and controlled visibility designed to protect brand equity. The proposition is simple for customers and brands alike: members access discounts without prices being exposed to the wider web, and brands clear excess inventory without training the mass market to wait for markdowns. Operationally, the model leans toward discipline—no grey market sourcing, no parallel imports, and minimal exposure to foreign exchange or customs friction by buying and selling in yen. That preference for simple systems was shaped long before e-commerce. Early in his management career, Cahierre was sent into difficult turnaround situations and learned that the fastest route to recovery often begins with information-sharing and dignity. In one formative case, he arrived at a unionised boiler manufacturer with a catastrophic defect cycle and discovered frontline employees had never been told the company's true position. Once he made the economics and the problem visible, alignment followed—less because of charisma, more because people could finally see the same "game board". In Japan, he argues, the same outcomes are possible, but the route is slower and more socially coded. Ideas rarely appear instantly in open forum; trust must be earned, roles must be read correctly, and influence may sit away from formal hierarchy. Where some foreign leaders push targets and individual incentives, he sees higher leverage in process: process KPIs, well-defined routines, and a shared understanding of "how work is done"—a philosophy that maps cleanly onto kaizen, consensus-building, and the reality that nemawashi often precedes the formal ringi-sho. He also warns against confusing "culture" with "excuses": claims that "Japan can't do X" frequently hide uncertainty avoidance, fear of accountability, or simple inertia rather than any immutable national constraint. On technology, Cahierre is pragmatic and a little provocative. If AI is framed as replacing white-collar work, the CEO should not imagine immunity. The agenda, in his view, is training and judgement: equip teams to use AI well (as companies should have done with Excel and PowerPoint years ago), understand where it accelerates work, and retain human decision intelligence where context, responsibility, and ethics matter. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Cahierre frames Japan's leadership challenge as less about "mystical difference" and more about how alignment is formed. Teams often respond best to clearly defined processes and shared routines, rather than blunt target pressure. Consensus is frequently built informally first—akin to nemawashi—before decisions become visible through formal approval mechanics (the ringi-sho mindset), meaning leaders must manage the unseen steps, not just the outcome. Why do global executives struggle? He sees many global leaders bringing a KPI-and-bonus playbook that freezes people rather than mobilising them. When targets are pushed without an equally clear process map, staff can become defensive, quiet, and risk-minimising—especially in environments where standing out carries social cost. He also calls out a "guru layer" of advice that over-indexes on etiquette and language theatre while ignoring business fundamentals. Is Japan truly risk-averse? His view is more nuanced: behaviour can look risk-averse, but it often reflects uncertainty avoidance and accountability anxiety. Autonomy can feel like exposure. The leader's job is to reduce ambiguity with system clarity, make responsibility safe, and remove the fear that initiative will be punished. What leadership style actually works? He advocates clarity-first leadership: leaders must know why they are in Japan, be able to "cover" for head office rather than hiding behind it, and set simple, easy-to-grasp goals. The style is firm on direction, generous on trust, and disciplined on processes. Praise is handled carefully: group praise in public is often safer, with individual recognition delivered in ways that do not isolate the person. How can technology help? Technology (including AI) is framed as a productivity multiplier when paired with training. Cahierre argues organisations underinvest in capability-building, then pay the price in wasted hours. AI can support decision intelligence, scenario work, and even "digital twins" of operations if used thoughtfully—but banning it is usually counterproductive, especially when younger workers adopt it as a learning partner rather than a shortcut. Does language proficiency matter? Language and cultural literacy help, but Cahierre's sharper point is that leaders should not let "Japan is different" become a shield for poor execution. Credibility is built more through transparency, consistency, and the ability to explain goals and trade-offs than through performative cultural fluency. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? He returns to trust as a strategic choice. Trust creates speed, openness, and a healthier workplace, even if it occasionally leads to disappointment. Distrust creates paralysis. In Japan especially, he argues that trust must be paired with a simple system: clear rules, clear processes, and a leader willing to be transparent about risks without being ruled by worry.

What happened to natural health just a few years ago? Discover the extensive censorship in health and the efforts to discredit natural health advocates, including Sayer Ji and RFK Jr., in this fascinating interview with Sayer Ji. 0:00 Introduction: Censorship in health 1:30 Sayer Ji interview2:50 The censorship of Sayer Ji's health wisdom 8:33 CCDH14:50 The Merck Manual and censorship of natural remedies17:28 The rise in alternative health solutions21:13 Distrust in modern medicine A few years ago, I all but disappeared online! Censorship in health took a drastic turn, labeling people like Sayer Ji as domestic terrorists for spreading information about holistic health. Advocates of natural health, dietary, and lifestyle modifications, as well as medical freedom, were silenced. Sayer Ji had a website, a business, and a YouTube channel, and was essentially deplatformed. He explains that in 2019, 99% of natural health information was removed from Google, essentially overnight!The Center for Countering Digital Hate is a small organization that claims to work at stopping online hate and misinformation. This group out of the UK influences a large population in the US, and has targeted those advocating for parental rights, medical choice, and religious freedom. They've characterized the advocates of these principles as dangerous, irresponsible, and even violent in an attempt to deplatform and demonetize their opposition. All of Sayer Ji's alternative health solutions were removed from the internet. Even information on sunlight and walking, natural health tips that are hardly controversial. They use manipulation of words like drug, disease, and heal to try to criminalize natural health and increase censorship in health information that challenges the status quo. Sayer Ji has conducted extensive research on the Merck Manual, first published in 1899. It was full of natural health remedies! Fortunately, Sayer Ji's accounts were restored, and he was essentially replatformed with a formal apology.People want alternative health solutions! They want lifestyle changes instead of a polypharmacy of drugs. Sayer Ji explains that there has been a significant increase in people advocating for bodily sovereignty, embracing natural healing, and making lifestyle changes on a large scale.As pharmaceutical companies continue to lose trust, they've resorted to hiring social media influencers to try to regain it.

In last week's episode, Advisory Board experts explored why leaders have a responsibility to combat rising patient distrust. The challenge? Most providers aren't prepared — and often haven't been taught — how to respond effectively. Distrust isn't just about debunking misinformation. The combination of low-quality research and panic headlines has made it harder for both providers and patients to separate credible science from misinformation. But there are actionable strategies leaders can use to identify what fuels mistrust and effectively communicate with patients in ways that build confidence. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with Dr. Emily Oster — economist, Brown University professor, New York Times bestselling author, and Founder & CEO of ParentData — to unpack her approach to effective health communication. Throughout the episode, they unpack why scientific skepticism is growing and why the delivery of health information — not just expertise — is critical to engaging patients.

In this episode of How to Fix Democracy, host Andrew Keen sits down with Cynthia Miller-Idriss - scholar of extremism, founder of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL), and author of Man Up: The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism. Together they eplore one of democracy's most fragile foundations: trust. From gender polarization and the rise of the "manosphere", to the declining institutional confidence, to why young men are increasingly vulnerable to online radicalization, Miller-Idriss explains how mistrust is reshaping politics, culture, and everyday relationships. She also discussed what might work to rebuild trust - from community level engagement to national service models - and why belonging, meaning and purpose might be the most powerful antidotes to extremism. A wide-ranging, urgent conversation about loneliness, democracy and whether America can restore trust before it is too late. Miller-Idriss offers a note of cautios optimism: most people, she argues,  don't actually want to live this way.  

Patient dissatisfaction with the healthcare system has long been a concern — but today, it's something far more serious: outright distrust. Between 2023 and 2025, the share of Americans who don't trust their doctor at all to make the right recommendations jumped by eight percentage points. Now, nearly one in six patients lack confidence in their physician. Let's be clear: patient distrust may not be the fault of health leaders — but it is absolutely their problem to solve. Rebuilding trust is a business imperative because distrust affects clinical quality, workforce stability, public health, and the financial health of organizations. In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with Advisory Board experts Morghen Philippi and Matt Cornner to unpack how the industry reached this point, why trust is a strategic asset, and what health leaders can do to start rebuilding it.

Rommel developed a love-hate relationship with Adolf Hitler, often venerating him but glossing over his political and anti-Semitic excesses. Rommel's falling out with Hitler was usually due to distrust or Hitler letting the army down, not politics. Rommel, a Suabian outsider, connected with Hitler partly because both were fighting the "pernicious influence" of the Prussian military aristocracy. Though he disliked the SS, he endured them as part of the system. His book, Infantry Attacks (1937), made him a national personality.

Argentina's decades-long economic crises and hyperinflation has a major impact on how Argentine's participate in the economy.The recent story that's been told about Argentina is that people are adopting stablecoins to protect against inflation and currency devaluation. But that's only part of the story...The real story involves long-standing distrust of government and the banks, and overbearing taxes that drive Argentinians to the informal economy. While stablecoin volumes in Argentina surpass $90 billion, Argentina still has over $200 billion in cash circulating in the country, and hidden under mattresses. It's the second-largest holder of US Dollar cash, behind the US itself. In this episode of Money Trails, presented by  @StellarDevelopmentFoundation , we explore why Argentines keep their money outside of the formal system, and why they are increasingly adopting stablecoins. In this episode, we're joined by Manuel Beaudroit, the Co-founder & CEO of Belo.Watch the full episode on YouTube.00:00 - Argentina's economic crisis01:45 - Arbolitos on Calle Florida02:48 - The Blue Dollar04:01 - Distrust and taxes07:20 - Why Argentines keep their money outside the formal economy09:50 - Why Argentina's parallel economy still thrives10:43 - Cuevas, Argentina's informal exchange houses13:21 - Why Argentines are adopting stablecoins15:43 - Subscribe!Our Links -

Hancock and Kelly break down the ongoing government shutdown, why it has dragged on, and who voters are blaming. They look at new polling that shows rising public distrust in government and both political parties. The discussion also touches on the Democratic Party's struggle to connect with working-class voters, criticism of the current administration's handling of optics, and why healthcare remains the key issue shaping public opinion.

Independent journalist/photographer. A career challenging dogma re climate, feminism, Canada's legal system. Grew up working class (dad: auto mechanic, mom: never finished high school). Never been politically correct, never been a member of the media inner circle.Donna Laframboise discusses her latest book, 'Thank You Truckers Canada's Heroes,' which chronicles the 2022 trucker convoy in Ottawa against COVID-19 mandates, highlighting the misrepresentation by mainstream media and the heartwarming solidarity among ordinary Canadians. She explains the hardships faced by the truckers, the public's overwhelming support, and the subsequent mistreatment by the government, including the freezing of bank accounts and severe penalties for non-violent protesters. Additionally, Laframboise provides insights into her previous investigative work on the IPCC's climate change reports and raises concerns about the current media landscape and political dynamics in Canada.00:00 Introduction to Donna Laframboise01:15 Media Coverage and Public Perception01:50 Writing the Book: Thank You Truckers04:23 Impact of the Trucker Convoy05:25 Freezing Bank Accounts: A Civil Liberties Issue08:12 Distrust in Media and Government09:05 Class Divide in Journalism11:44 Protesters' Motivations and Stories16:07 Support from Ordinary Canadians19:19 Mark Carney and Canadian Politics24:19 Climate Change Skepticism27:03 Crowdsourcing the IPCC Report28:53 The Delinquent Teenager Book31:10 Current Projects and Book Promotion33:29 Heartwarming Stories from the Freedom Convoy38:55 Legal Battles and Government Response46:35 Comparisons and Broader Implications52:05 Concluding Thoughts and Reflectionshttps://x.com/NOconsensushttps://thankyoutruckers.substack.com/Donna's books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00EZWIV7S/allbooks?ccs_id=07ceaeb3-071d-4bb2-91cc-106c0fa6753c=========My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Public distrust in legacy media has surged over the past decade, driven largely by perceptions of bias, manipulation, and selective storytelling. Studies from the Reuters Institute and Pew Research Center show that audiences increasingly believe mainstream outlets push political or corporate agendas instead of objective truth. Over two-thirds of respondents in Reuters' 2024 “Bias, Bullshit, and Lies” report said they view major networks as “too agenda-driven” and “out of touch” with the public. This skepticism deepened after repeated high-profile media failures—such as misreported stories, selective coverage of scandals, and the close ties between journalists and political power brokers—that reinforced the sense that mainstream journalism serves elites rather than the audience. Many consumers now see news organizations less as watchdogs and more as part of the same establishment they were supposed to hold accountable.Compounding this decline is the economic collapse of traditional journalism and the rise of the 24-hour digital cycle, which prioritizes clicks and engagement over verification and nuance. Shrinking newsroom budgets have led to the erosion of investigative reporting, replaced by punditry and algorithm-driven sensationalism. As newsrooms consolidate under a handful of corporate owners, audiences increasingly question whether editorial independence still exists. Meanwhile, social media has given rise to both alternative outlets and disinformation, further blurring the public's ability to distinguish fact from narrative. The result is a fractured media landscape where trust is earned less through prestige and more through perceived authenticity—and for many, the old institutions have failed that test.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Did you know that your* government has run official, formal, propaganda campaigns against its own citizens to spread disinformation. They have manipulated media, created bot account farms to sow discontent, and created smear campaigns - all in the name of "political strategy". "Remember kids, the next time someone tries to tell you the government wouldn't do that, oh yes, yes they would." If they want you to distrust your neighbor, don't buy in. Distrust the government, instead.

Preview: Peter Berkowitz argues that American distrust of higher education is rightly earned. Universities are guilty of censoring free speech and denying basic due process rights to students accused of wrongdoing, particularly in sexual misconduct cases. Furthermore, institutions are criticized for politicizing the undergraduate curriculum or hollowing it out instead of teaching essential subjects for responsible citizenship.

The Rising Risks of Cancel Culture & The Psychology & Language That Built It! In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Steven Pinker (renowned Harvard psychologist and author of When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows) joins Mayim Bialik and Jonathan Cohen for a no-holds-barred conversation that quickly turns into a fiery debate on the limits of science, belief, and human consciousness. From the hidden mechanics of social dynamics and language to the perils of thought policing and cancel culture, Dr. Pinker dives deep into how shared knowledge shapes society, why what people think others believe can shift power, and how social media became a modern-day coliseum for public shaming. But the sparks really fly when Mayim and Jonathan challenge Pinker's staunchly materialist worldview — questioning whether extrasensory perception (ESP), near death experiences (NDEs), and higher consciousness might point to something beyond the reach of scientific instruments. Pinker doesn't hold back, offering his sharply skeptical takes on mystical claims and pushing back against spiritual notions with cool-headed logic. Dr. Pinker also breaks down: - Why what others think of us actually matters - Dangers of being too direct or too indirect — especially for neurodivergent folks - How to create or hide common knowledge in relationships - The first case of cancel culture on social media (and its ancient roots!) - The thin line between freedom of speech and incitement to violence - How distrust in science fuels conspiracy theories - Can we depoliticize science? Or is it already too late? - The danger of defunding academic research - Why authoritarian regimes fear open communication - The healthcare system: overprescription, profit motives, and how to fix it - Is free will real? Or are we just dancing to the tune of biology and environment? Don't miss MBB's first-ever toe-to-toe spiritual showdown between Mayim, Jonathan, and a die-hard materialist. Whether you lean scientific, spiritual, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about reality.

On Sunday, Pastor Mike shared how he was asking a simple question: “Lord, how do I respond as a pastor to everything happening right now?” What followed was a clear word from the Lord that led him to Exodus 17—a moment where God's people were under pressure, under attack, and spiritually dry. In that passage, Moses lifted his hands toward heaven as the battle raged, and victory came when hands were lifted—not in striving, but in surrender. From that passage, Mike heard God say, “The time for striking rocks is over. The time for touching thrones has begun.” This message is an invitation to shift our posture. To stop reacting and start abiding. To respond not with outrage, but with trust. And to step into a rhythm of prayer that brings renewal, unity, and life. Below is a prayer guide you can use as you respond this week:Prayer Guide:1. Praise: Honoring God's Faithfulness and Outpouring of His SpiritHeavenly Father, we lift our hands to You in awe and gratitude. You are faithful, and Your Spirit continues to move in our lives and in our generation. We praise You for Your presence, Your provision, and Your power that sustains us.Pray for:• Thank God for His faithfulness in every season, acknowledging that nothing in heaven or earth can thwart His plans.• Praise God for the outpouring of His Spirit, awakening hearts to new hunger and deeper intimacy with Him.• Declare God's victory over every Amalek attack, trusting His authority to protect, restore, and advance His Kingdom.• Celebrate the ways God has revealed Himself in past battles, remembering His power and mercy.• Invite God's presence to fill every room, heart, and community, allowing His life to flow freely.2. Confession: Surrendering Striving, Distrust, and ConflictLord, we confess the times we have not abided in You, striving in our own strength, doubting Your provision, and wrestling with anger or contention toward others. We recognize where we have partnered with thoughts that oppose Your will and disrupt Your peace.Pray for:• Confess personal striving instead of resting in God's timing and authority.• Confess distrust, doubt, or anxiety that limits our faith and hinders intimacy with You.• Ask for forgiveness for anger, quarreling, or holding bitterness toward others.• Renounce any agreements with pride, ego, or grumbling.• Pray for healing, humility, and restored alignment with God, so we walk fully in His presence and purpose.3. Intercession: Lifted Hands for Each Other and Our Broken WorldFather, we lift our hands in intercession, covering one another's vulnerabilities, lifting the burdens of our families, communities, and the world. We declare Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.Pray for:• Pray for those around you, asking God to meet their deepest needs and protect their hearts.• Pray for comfort and hope in our relationships, families, communities, and country.• Ask God to pour out His presence in communities, awakening hunger for His presence and truth.• Pray for the defeat of the Amalek spirit and every force that seeks to steal joy, kill hope, or destroy destiny.• Declare healing, restoration, and unity, trusting God's authority and power to transform brokenness into new life.

The point is made that censorship, not speech, breeds hate—and hate ultimately leads to violence and murder. 01:13:48 – Venezuela, Oil & Trump's Strongman BoastingTrump brags about frightening fishermen after the drone strike.

Blame is placed not just on her but on the systemic corruption of the courts that put her in place. 01:45:55 – Kirk Assassination ConspiraciesSpeculation emerges about AI-generated books and manipulated Amazon listings tied to the Kirk shooting. The hosts caution against clickbait “evidence,” stressing the fog of war makes conspiracies easy to spread. 01:55:55 – Distrust & Media ManipulationDiscussion closes with suspicion of both government and influencers like Alex Jones. The assassination narrative is portrayed as confused and potentially weaponized, feeding calls for tighter security and control. 02:01:04 – 9/11 Truth & Building 7Building 7's collapse is revisited, framed as controlled demolition. 9/11 is tied to the launch of endless wars and the surveillance state. 02:06:43 – Tucker Carlson & Movement Co-optionCarlson is blasted for once suppressing 9/11 discussion but now stepping in to lead the narrative, raising fears of establishment takeover of the truth movement. 02:16:12 – COVID Shots & Hidden Safety DataEvidence of scrubbed vaccine safety signals emerges, with thousands of adverse events concealed. The “Trump shot” is portrayed as a deliberate bioweapon program. 02:24:10 – Charlie Kirk Assassination TheoriesSpeculation swirls about Mossad, the Trump administration, and Ukraine's hit lists. AI-generated books and rumors of pre-reporting are debated as potential misdirection. 02:38:06 – Reactions to Kirk's DeathLeftist academics and media figures face backlash for celebrating Kirk's assassination. Firings at universities and DC Comics highlight a culture justifying political violence. 02:52:22 – Prayer vs. Silence in CongressHouse Republicans honor Kirk with prayer and silence, while Democrats jeer, fueling claims of open hostility to Christianity in politics. 03:14:06 – Jack Lawson JoinsIntroduction of Jack Lawson, author of the Civil Defense Manual.

He provides tools and free resources to calculate supplies. 03:38:21 – Fourth Turning & Global War RisksConversation shifts to the “Fourth Turning” cycle.

Letters beat emails for trustworthiness. A gullible skeptic reflects on navigating trust in a 50-year marriage, and the energy cost of distrust.

I miss letters. I send cards thanking my guests for their participation. People universally appreciate getting something via snail mail. But cards aren't letters. They're preformatted notes, where I just change the image and the name. For giggles, I looked back at my very first blog post, July 31, 2012. It was a paragraph, a letter of sorts, short and simple, Improv and Best Health. It's taking me longer to produce each episode. So, no more frequently than once a month. So, why not a letter, short and sweet, from time to time? Let's start with trust. A letter feels more trustworthy than an email or a tweet. It's signed; a person who writes a letter really wants to communicate and thinks about what they're saying. So, perhaps, not a troll, more trustworthy. I always open letters. My immediate, momentary, default reaction to almost anything is trust. My kids say I'm gullible. My next instant reaction is skepticism. I think about what's not true about whatever. ‘AI is the solution to everything.' What do you mean, everything? What is AI anyway? Like that. I've been married for 50 years because at our core, my wife and I trust each other. We disagree, we misunderstand, we anger, I sulk. Yet we trust. On the other hand, I make stuff up. I misremember, create a story, and if it serves my purposes, stick with it or modify it as needed. My wife and grandkids are my fact-checkers. Still, we trust each other. In my personal life, trust isn't an on-or-off switch, all or nothing. Well, not usually. It's a matter of degree; it's about something. I trust that I can count on you to be there for me, unless you can't. I trust that you'll return my call, unless you're hurt, don't feel like it, or missed it. Distrust sucks energy; be more careful with my words, self-censor, close my heart and mind. I don't expect to trust everybody or everything. When I do trust, it's priceless. Thanks for listening, I'll be back.

When clients come to work with me, one of the most common stories I hear is: "I've already spent THOUSANDS of dollars healing." This story often comes with a mix of bitterness, grief, and discouragement, but the most dangerous emotion it can come with is distrust. While other emotions like bitterness and grief can be painful or heavy to bear, distrust is one of the most dangerous emotions I see potential clients have because it breaks their ability to rely on others. Relying on others is something we all need to heal, because whether it's a matter of paying an expert to help us do something or simply trusting a friend or family member to care about us and bear our burdens with us, distrust sows the seed of unwillingness to move forward and get what we actually need to heal - others. That's why, on today's episode, I'm digging into the topic of how to handle the distrust that comes along when multiple providers or "solutions" you've paid time, money, and effort on end up in disappointment and pain. On this episode, I'll be sharing parts of my own personal story with distrust and discouragement in my health along with quotes from a book I've been digging into on trust, and stories from the lives of my clients. Whether you're trying to heal your gut, hormones, thyroid, brain, or any other set of symptoms or diagnoses - I hope this episode encourages you and gives you brain something new to chew on as you move forward in healing.

Author Matt Hongoltz-Hetling returns with The Ghost Lab, a rollicking deep dive into New Hampshire's paranormal subculture, where Bigfoot lurks behind every maple tree and alien abductees fill out grant forms. He profiles a ghost-hunting crew that includes a psychic medium, a paranormal paralegal, and a Bigfoot believer who swears the aliens took him more than once. What starts as a tour of fringe science becomes a sharp look at America's low-trust spiral—where more people believe in demons than in their own democracy. Plus, up top: LA erupts in protest, and Gavin Newsom practically begs Donald Trump to arrest him.
