R. Kenner French interviews PR expert Jeremy Knauff on how press and media can rapidly expand a business. Jeremy's core thesis: building authority status is one of the highest-leverage moves an entrepreneur can make. Third-party validation from reputable outlets (e.g., Entrepreneur, Forbes, Inc.) cuts through skepticism, shortens sales cycles, and positions you as the credible solution. Authority is reinforced by a strong personal brand—each one amplifies the other.After a severe health crisis left him “invisible” for two years, Jeremy rebuilt from scratch using PR, SEO, and social—reclaiming prominence faster than ever. That firsthand turnaround led him to pivot his agency to focus entirely on PR so he could elevate founders who deliver real value (and drown out hype-driven pretenders). He's easy to find online (“Jeremy Knauff,” SpartanMedia.com), reflecting the same visibility he creates for clients.For professionals like real estate agents, Jeremy recommends low-lift credibility builders: accumulate authentic reviews on Google and LinkedIn, and cultivate engaged social profiles via collaboration with adjacent pros (title, mortgage, appraisers). His firm audits a client's online presence, builds a PR strategy, and actively pitches journalists. Thanks to deep relationships, they can often draft and submit expert quotes on a client's behalf—fast, accurate, and on-brand—so clients can focus on revenue-generating work.A marquee case: a once high-flying franchise cratered to ~$350k revenue after online reputation attacks. By positioning the new CEO as an industry authority through sustained PR (features, contributor roles, speaking), revenue rebounded to $8M+ and attracted contracts with DOD, NASA, and major leagues. On press releases, Jeremy's nuanced view: they work when paired with direct journalist pitching and help surface you in LLMs (ChatGPT, etc.). TV spots (e.g., Fox Business' Big Money Show) are potent for showcasing personality—if the spokesperson communicates crisply—yielding reusable credibility assets (“as seen on…”).For businesses not ready for full-service PR, Jeremy launched Spartan Community (community.spartanmedia.com). The throughline of the conversation: PR accelerates trust, authority, and deal flow; combine foundational social proof and smart media strategy, then repurpose wins across channels to compound results.Takeaways• Expanding a business can significantly benefit from press exposure.• Building authority status is crucial for cutting through competition.• Getting featured in reputable media outlets enhances credibility.• A strong personal brand is essential for media visibility.• Public relations can dramatically transform a business's revenue.• Press releases can still provide ROI when used strategically.• Follow-up is key to maximizing the impact of press releases.• TV appearances can enhance personal branding and credibility.• Innovative tools can help connect trending topics to business strategies.• Affordable community resources can empower entrepreneurs to learn and grow.Sound Bites• You want to expand your business?• You have to do the follow-up?• We launched a low ticket community.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu, 31 Agustus 2025Bacaan: "Jadi siapa yang ada di dalam Kristus, ia adalah ciptaan baru: yang lama sudah berlalu, sesungguhnya yang baru sudah datang." (2 Korintus 5:17) Renungan: Seseorang pernah berkata, "Kalau seekor kucing pernah duduk di atas tungku panas, kucing itu tidak akan duduk di atas tungku panas lagi. Kucing itu juga tidak akan duduk lagi di atas tungku dingin." Apa yang kita alami di masa lalu biarlah itu menjadi sejarah karena kita tidak bisa mengubah masa lalu kita. Jika kita telah menuliskan sejarah yang hitam di masa lalu, putuskanlah mulai hari ini untuk menulis sejarah baru berisikan kisah yang manis dan menginspirasi. Paulus memiliki sejarah yang hitam, ia memburu semua pengikut Yesus dan dengan sukacita membinasakan mereka. Namun, setelah ia bertemu Tuhan di jalan menuju Damsyik, ia berkeputusan untuk memulai sejarah yang baru sebagai seorang yang paling bersemangat memberitakan Injil ke seluruh suku bangsa. Tak peduli seberapa kelam hidup kita di masa lalu, yang terpenting saat ini kita bisa memutuskan untuk memulai menuliskan satu lembaran baru dalam hidup kita, maka Tuhan akan membuka jalan sehingga hidup kita menjadi berkat bagi sesama. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa: Tuhan Yesus, waktu-waktu ini berjalan begitu cepat. Belum banyak yang bisa kubuat untuk menyenangkan hati-Mu. Di hari yang lalu begitu banyak sikap, perkataan dan perbuatanku yang membuat Engkau kecewa. Kini aku bersimpuh di hadapan-Mu untuk memohon ampun dan memohon berkat gar mulai hari ini aku dapat mengubah segala sesuatu yang ada pada diriku menjadi lebih baik dari hari yang lalu. Yesus, merajalah dalam hatiku. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 1 September 2025Bacaan: "Perkataan yang menyenangkan adalah seperti sarang madu, manis bagi hati dan obat bagi tulang-tulang." (Amsal 16:24)Renungan: Setiap orang senang menerima kata-kata pujian yang menyatakan bahwa dia dihargai. Memberi kata-kata pujian sebagai bentuk penghargaan adalah hal yang sederhana dan mudah untuk dilakukan, namun banyak orang yang tidak menyadari besarnya arti dan pengaruh kata-kata pujian yang diberikan dengan tulus kepada pasanganya, anak, orang tua, sahabat dan kenalan. Ada banyak faktor yang menyebabkan rumah tangga retak, persahabatan putus, anak memberontak dan sebagainya. Tetapi kata-kata pujian dan penghargaan akan menguatkan dan memperbaharui tali pernikahan, persahabatan, kekeluargaan yang hampir lapuk dimakan situasi dan waktu. Penulis Amsal berkata bahwa kata-kata penghargaan yang manis dan membangun seperti buah apel emas di pinggan perak (Ams 25:11). Siapa yang tidak menginginkan apel emas di pinggan perak? Semua orang tentu menginginkannya, sebab itu jangan biarkan apapun menghalangi kita untuk mengungkapkan isi hati kita kepada orang yang kita kasihi. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa: Tuhan Yesus, urapilah mulut bibir dan suaraku, agar setiap perkataan yang keluar dari mulutku dapat menjadi berkat bagi sesamaku, sehingga yang sakit disembuhkan, yang berbeban dilepaskan, yang terluka dilegakan. Yesus, jadikanlah mulutku seperti mulut-Mu, lidahku seperti lidah-Mu dan perkataanku seperti perkataan-Mu. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Sabtu, 30 Agustus 2025Bacaan:"Karena kamu sendiri tahu benar-benar, bahwa hari Tuhan datang seperti pencuri pada malam." (1 Tesalonika 5:2)Renungan: Ada seorang pria yang mengunjungi seorang pertapa tua yang terkenal saleh untuk mengajukan sebuah pertanyaan. Pertanyaan itu adalah, "Jika tuan hanya mempunyai satu hari lagi untuk hidup, apa yang tuan lakukan pada hari itu?" Pertapa tua itu mengelus jenggotnya yang putih dan panjang kemudian menjawab, "Baik, pertama-tama saya mendaraskan doa pagi, sesudah itu saya meneguk sedikit teh dan keluar untuk membersihkan kebun. Kemudian saya menyeberang jalan untuk mengunjungi sahabat saya Louis, lalu saya istirahat sejenak." Pria itu tersentak dan menyela, "Tunggu, itukan cara tuan menghabiskan waktu setiap hari!" Pertapa itu menjawab, "Tentu, Mengapa hari yang terakhir harus berbeda dengan hari-hari lainnya?" Kehidupan manusia pada suatu saat akan berakhir di dunia ini. Tetapi yang jadi masalah adalah kita tidak tahu kapan saat itu datang. Alkitab menuliskan bahwa hari Tuhan itu datang seperti pencuri. Oleh karena itu sejak saat ini kita sudah mulai untuk mempersiapkan diri kita menghadapi hari itu. Sehingga ketika saatnya tiba kita tidak perlu sibuk untuk berbuat ini itu untuk menyenangkan Tuhan, karena semuanya itu sudah harus kita lakukan jauh-jauh hari sebelumnya. Kalau di rumah kita, kita selalu siaga untuk menjaga keamanan rumah dari pencuri, kini, apakah kita juga sudah siaga menjaga kehidupan diri kita dari kedatangan Tuhan yang seperti pencuri? Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, kedatangan-Mu tidak pernah bisa kuketahui. Kapan dan dimanapun, Engkau bisa datang sewaktu-waktu untuk menjemputku. Berilah kemampuan dan kemauan bagi diriku untuk mulai berjaga-jaga sejak saat ini, melalui sikap hidupku yang sesuai kehendak-Mu, agar pada saatnya tiba nanti, dengan tangan terbuka aku mampu menyerahkan rohku kepada-Mu. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 29 Agustus 2025Bacaan: "Ia membuat segala sesuatu indah pada waktunya, bahkan Ia memberikan kekekalan dalam hati mereka." (Pengkhotbah 3:11a)Renungan: Sebuah puisi menceritakan tentang seekor burung yang diterbangkan oleh angin yang begitu besar. Burung itu tersapu dari sebuah negeri berumput hijau dan berbatu-batu di mana burung itu biasanya tinggal dan menikmati kesenangan dunianya. Burung itu berusaha mati-matian untuk bisa kembali ke tempatnya semula, tapi usahanya sia-sia. Akhirnya iapun menyerah dan ia berpikir bahwa angin badai itu sedang membawanya pada kematian. Tetapi ternyata angin badai itu membawanya ke suatu tempat yang begitu cerah. Ada padang rumput yang menghijau dan hutan yang luas. Berapa banyak di antara kita yang seperti burung di atas? Kita banyak kali menentang atau melawan apa yang menjadi kehendak Allah di dalam hidup kita. Kita mengira bahwa ketika hidup kita dibawa melalui lautan, maka segalanya sudah berakhir dan tidak ada harapan lagi. Sampal pada akhirnya kita mengerti bahwa ternyata "angin badai" kadang dipakai Tuhan untuk membawa kita ke tempat yang lebih baik. Firman Tuhan senantiasa mendorong kita untuk memuji Dia dan bersyukur di tengah-tengah badai yang mengamuk. Kita harus selalu meyakini bahwa jika kita setia pada-Nya, maka pada waktunya nanti dan dengan cara-Nya sendiri, Allah akan membawa kita ke tempat yang lebih baik. Yusuf tidak pernah berpikir bahwa dia akan menjadi orang kedua di Mesir. Perlakuan kakak-Kakaknya yang telah memasukkannya ke dalam sumur dan menjualnya kepada orang asing telah menimbulkan luka di hatinya. Tetapi Yusuf adalah orang beriman, ia terus menyerahkan imannya kepada Allah dan menjalani kehidupan yang diperhadapkan kepadanya. Pada akhirnya ia bisa melihat rencana Allah yang besar baginya dan keluarganya. Jangan takut atau khawatir dengan sebuah perubahan yang membuat semuanya menjadi tidak seperti biasanya. Hidup kita ada dalam tangan Allah Sang Arsitek yang Agung, yang selalu berusaha membentuk kita menjadi semakin indah dan mulia di hadapan-Nya. Kalau saat ini kita merasa sedang diterbangkan badai ke tempat yang tidak kita inginkan, percayalah akan kasih dan pemeliharaan Allah. Ia akan membuat segalanya indah pada waktunya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau senantiasa hadir dalam setiap peristiwa hidupku. Ajarilah aku agar aku senantiasa dapat melihat kuasa dan kasih-Mu dalam setiap pergumulan hidupku. Aku percaya, bahwa engkau senantiasa menyemangatiku setiap kali aku jatuh melalui sahabat, keluarga dan kenalanku. Pimpin langkahku terus, agar di masa-masa sulit dalam hidupku, aku tetap setia pada-Mu dan tidak menyimpang dari jalan-Mu. Amin. (Dod).

    Army neurosurgeon LTC Ryan Morton, MD, takes us on an extraordinary journey through his military medicine career, sharing insights and personal stories that shaped his path. From the influence of his father's military service and choosing the ROTC HPSP route to fund his education at Notre Dame, to his pivotal decision to pursue neurosurgery over cardiology, Dr. Morton's narrative is both inspiring and enlightening. His experiences in building a neuro-neurosurgery program and witnessing the advancements in trauma and stroke care over the past decade provide a unique perspective on both the challenges and triumphs in military medicine.     Discover the groundbreaking work at Brooke Army Medical Center, where Dr. Morton played a key role in expanding stroke care capabilities and performed the center's first thrombectomies.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 28 Agustus 2025Bacaan: "Sabarlah kamu seorang terhadap yang lain, dan ampunilah seorang akan yang lain apabila yang seorang menaruh dendam terhadap yang lain, sama seperti Tuhan telah mengampuni kamu, kamu perbuat jugalah demikian." (Kolose 3:13)Renungan Ada seseorang yang mempunyal dua Kantong. Pada kantong yang satu terdapat lubang di bawahnya, tetapi pada kantong yang lain tidak ada lubangnya. Segala sesuatu yang menyakitkan yang pernah didengarnya seperti kata-kata makian, sindiran, gosip dan kata-kata kotor dituliskannya di sebuah kertas, digulung kecil. kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam kantong yang berlubang. Tetapi semua yang indah, semua yang benar, semua yang menyukakan hati dan bermanfaat dituliskan di sebuah kertas kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam kantong yang tidak ada lubangnya. Pada malam hari, la mengeluarkan semua yang ada di dalam kantong tak berlubang, membacanya dan menikmati hal-hal indah yang sudah diperolehnya sepanjang hari itu. Kemudian la merogoh kantong yang berlubang, tetapi tidak menemukan sesuatu. Maka lapun tertawa bahagia dan tetap bersukacita karena dari kantong tersebut tidak ada sesuatu yang merusak hati dan jiwanya. Memelihara pikiran-pikiran jahat dan segala sesuatu yang menyakitkan hati, hanya akan membuat kita tidak bisa menikmati kebahagiaan hidup. Jiwa menjadi tertekan dan tidak ada gairah menjalani kehidupan. Sebuah penelitian di Amerika menyatakan bahwa sikap hati yang tidak benar seperti sakit hati, iri hati dan kemarahan merupakan penyebab kematian yang cukup serius. Hati yang menyimpan luka juga dapat menjadi pemicu timbulnya berbagai penyakit seperti kanker hati, kanker payudara, mag, migrain, kanker paru-paru dan sebagainya. Sebab itu, janganlah menyimpan apa yang tidak baik dalam kantong hati dan hidup kita. Namun sayang sekali, banyak di antara kita yang melakukannya dengan terbalik, menaruh semua yang baik di kantong berlubang dan menyimpan semua yang jelek di kantong tak berlubang. Setiap hari kita pasti mengalami kejadian yang menggembirakan walau sedikit. Simpanlah itu semua di kantong tak berlubang. Semuanya ini akan menggembirakan kita. Sebaliknya abaikan dan jangan pedulikan perlakuan yang kasar, ketidakadilan, penolakan, kata-kata kotor dan kasar. Masukkan semuanya itu ke kantong berlubang. Kalau kita bisa melakukannya, maka akan banyak orang diberkati melalui kesaksian hidup kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ajarilah aku untuk menyimpan semua yang baik, yang pernah kuterima dari siapapun juga walau hanya seulas senyuman. Dan mampukan aku untuk membuang semua kebencian, dendam, iri hati yang berlebihan agar hatiku tetap penuh sukacita. Jangan biarkan iblis mencuri damai sejahtera-Mu dari dalam hatiku. Siram hatiku dengan Darah-Mu, sehingga menjadi benteng pertahanan dari segala hal-hal yang tidak baik yang kujumpai setiap hari. Amin. (Dod)

During the interview, Rob Bocek, Chief Revenue Officer at Virtualitics, provides listeners with insight into how his company can enhance Air Force readiness while ensuring explainability and democratizing AI. Sometimes, AI is described as a “black box” where one pours in data and out pops an answer. In a life-or-death scenario that many military organizations face, this arbitrary approach will not suffice. As a result, solutions provided by Virtualitics, document the process carefully. Listening to the customer is key to understanding supply chain problems.  Rob Bocek details how his team will get close to the end user. This can be a “democratic” approach where a wide variety of input is absorbed. Virtualitics aims to identify the root causes of pain and determine what specifically needs to be solved. He highlights their ability to detect anomalies, optimize training pipelines, and anticipate equipment failures. Once these preliminaries are brought together, the most tremendous success will be accomplished when leadership takes risks. Looking ahead, Virtualitics is hosting the Frontiers of AI for Readiness Summit at Caltech to convene DoD leaders, academics, industry, and investors. Bocek emphasizes partnerships across technology providers, cloud platforms, and startups as essential to scaling AI solutions and accelerating the DoD's adoption.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 27 Agustus 2025Bacaan: "Hendaklah kamu saling mengasihi sebagai saudara dan saling mendahului dalam memberi hormat." (Roma 12:10)Renungan: Dari semua tanaman di Palestina, Badam atau almond adalah pohon yang pertama kali berbunga pada akhir musim dingin atau di awal musim semi. Bunganya berwarna putih atau merah jambu keputih-putihan. Yang paling berharga dari badam adalah bijinya, karena bisa dimakan atau dijadikan bahan penting untuk campuran berbagai jenis makanan. Berbunga lebih awal dari pohon-pohon yang lain, itulah salah satu hal penting yang kita ketahui tentang pohon badam. Ini mengingatkan kita sebagai anak-anak Tuhan untuk selalu berlomba-lomba dan saling mendahului di dalam berbuat baik. Sangatlah mudah untuk membenci ketika seseorang menyakiti hati kita, kita mudah memfitnah seseorang karena sentimen pribadi, mudah menipu untuk mendapatkan keuntungan, mudah melontarkan kata-kata makian yang kasar ketika emosi, dan sebagainya. Tetapi untuk berlomba-lomba dan saling mendahului dalam berbuat baik, tidak semua orang mampu melakukannya. Ada sebuah pernyataan, "Kebaikan bukanlah sifat yang diturunkan, melainkan perilaku yang harus dipelajari." Mungkin selama ini kita hanya menyatakan kebaikan kepada orang-orang yang sudah berbuat baik kepada kita terlebih dahulu. Kita menunggu dan hanya menjadi penonton saja ketika orang lain berlomba-lomba berbuat baik. Kini saatnya kita belajar menjadi yang pertama di dalam berbuat baik, supaya di mana ada pertikaian, kita datang membawa damai. di mana ada kesedihan, kita datang membawa penghiburan. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau telah lebih dulu mencintai dan mengasihiku. Aku rindu untuk membalas cinta-Mu. Bantulah aku untuk mau menyisihkan waktu dan sedikit penghasilanku untuk membantu mereka yang berkekurangan. Pakailah aku sebagai kepanjangan seluruh diri-Mu, agar melalui kehadiranku ada sukacita mengalir di hati mereka. Amin. (Dod).

//The Wire//2300Z August 25, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: DOMESTIC CONCERNS REMAIN HIGH IN UNITED KINGDOM FOLLOWING THE ARREST OF CHILD. TRUMP ORDERS CREATION OF NATIONAL GUARD QUICK REACTION FORCE. WHITE HOUSE DOUBLES NUMBER OF CHINESE STUDENTS ADMITTED TO AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: Social tensions have continued to deteriorate following the arrest of a 14 year old girl for brandishing a knife on St. Ann Lane in Dundee, Scotland. Details are largely unclear, however the girl was attempting to defend her younger sister from the advances of a migrant while walking down the street.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning President Trump signed several Executive Orders, the most prominent of which involved the banning of burning the American Flag, which is being phrased as a "hate crime" punishable by a mandatory-minimum prison sentence of one year. Other Executive Orders were also issued pertaining to ending federal funding to jurisdictions which allow the practice of cashless bail, as well as to expand the scope of National Guard deployments throughout the nation. This order directs the Pentagon to create the idea of a "standing National Guard Quick Reaction Force" (QRF), which can be deployed around the nation in a similar fashion as the force already deployed throughout Washington. This order also cracks down on HUD providing housing for violent criminals, and uses very politically correct language to more or less convey the idea of cleaning up the Section 8 housing projects throughout the city.Analyst Comment: The EO pertaining to the deployment of National Guard very much illuminates the perspectives of the White House and defense officials. While it was glossed over in the text of the EO, that word "standing" as it applies to the National Guard reveals the wordsmithing that is at play. Due to the intricacies of how military forces are deployed in the United States for domestic policing roles, the White House is probably trying to treat the National Guard as a standing army so as to avoid getting entangled in the Constitutional problems of creating a standing army for domestic policing roles.Washington D.C. - This afternoon, the White House announced the expansion of Chinese visas being allowed for educational purposes, with 600,000 Chinese students being allowed into the United States, more than double the 278,000 Chinese students which were enrolled at US universities over the past academic year.Analyst Comment: This announcement has been cause for concern as, right now, trillions of dollars are being spent by the DoD to prepare for a war with China; the China/Taiwan conflict is the sole focus of INDOPACOM and all military service branches are currently working at breakneck speed to prepare for this conflict as it's no longer an "if" but "when" situation. As such, it's not a great look for the White House to confirm that 600,000 potential foreign adversaries are more important than 600,000 American students, especially since several Chinese researchers have been caught smuggling bioweapons into the United States over the past few years.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As always, the details of the Dundee incident are sketchy and impossible to verify at present. Locals claim that the girl was attempting to defend herself from the advances of a migrant, who had just tried to solicit her younger sister, which resulted in a scuffle. After this solicitation attempt failed, the migrant continued his advances by lewdly recording a video of her on his phone. She pulled out a large kitchen knife and a hatchet as a means of defending herself and her sister from the migrant who would not stop following them as they tried to leave the area. Of note, the migrant recording the video of this incident inadvertently confirmed that he was indeed filming the children

BEST OF TST: Three key details inform us that the recent, 2017 and onward, reporting on the UFO/UAP is nothing but a rewriting of the historical narrative using archaic psychological military-intelligence scripts. One, that AATIP spent only $22 million on research between 2012 and 2017, which pales in comparison with government waste, especially for a subject so critical for air safety and national security. Two, the curated cases investigated by the ODNI and DOD-AARO ignore countless credible global reports about the same. Three, the nature of the reporting and investigation are methods of “education” and “debunking” as laid out by the intelligence and military communities back in a 1953 Report called Robertson Panel. Compare that report with statements from the ODNI today:“That the evidence presented on Unidentified Flying Objects shows no indication that these phenomena constitute a direct physical threat to national security...”The ODNI reports says, “UAP continue to represent a hazard to flight safety and pose a possible adversary collection threat,” a standard policy for what cannot be identified; but the conclusion that these are only “potential risks” indicates that the risks “it poses as both a safety of flight hazard and potential adversarial activity,” are only potential. There is no actual threat. “We suggest that these aims may be achieved by an integrated program designed to reassure the public of the total lack of evidence of Inimical forces behind the phenomenon, to train personnel to recognize and reject false indications quickly and effectively, and to strengthen regular channels for the evaluation of and prompt reaction to true indications of hostile measures.”The ODNI report says, “AARO has been established as the DoD focal point for UAP... AARO is the single focal point for all DoD UAP efforts, leading a whole-of-government approach to coordinate UAP collection, reporting, and analysis efforts.” In other words, the ODNI statement is a public relations campaign equivalent to the quote above.“That the national security agencies take immediate steps to strip the Unidentified Flying Objects of the special status they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired…”This is precisely the goal of AARO and the reclassification of UFO to UAP, which relates to the next line from the 1953 report: “The Panel's concept of a broad educational program integrating efforts of all concerned agencies was that it should have two major aims: training and ‘debunking'.”It says that the, “basis of such education would be actual case histories which had been puzzling at first but later explained... Recent cases are probably much more susceptible to explanation than older ones; first, because of ATIC's experience and, secondly, their knowledge of most plausible explanations.”And this is why the Tic Tac has been so popular; the story is old enough to remain distant from proper investigation, but new enough to provoke interest. With the declaration by Ross Coulthart that the object is Lockheed Martin technology, the UAP movement has fulfilled the 1953 agenda. A recent case with a history, at first seen as puzzling but then later explained. The 1953 report further suggested employing psychologists, including Dr. Hadley Cantril, who wrote the study of the panic that followed the Orson Welles WOW broadcast in 1938, a story that took place in the area where the recent New Jersey drone sightings also occurred. When the Pentagon's UFO Mythology script was leaked in 2025, coupled with the AARO discovery that the USAF gave fake classified material to commanders, it became clear that all the congressional investigations were nothing short of a ruse. The discrediting of the whistleblowers did not so much discredit them as it did the role they served. The 2025 Pentagon UAP report reinforced these revelations. The narrative circle is complete. People got too close to UFOs 75 years ago, so the military and intelligence communities intervened to spread dis and mis information, and also to cover up their own programs. The narrative has been re-introduced in 2017 so that it can be misdirected again.Following this up is the revelation of a black goo substance found by a ship captain in Ohio. Is it in anyway related to the Sukunaarchaeum Mirabile (Sukuna-biko-na)? Analysis indicates that it contains “20 DNA sequences,” one of which was completely novel. In the X Files this is the vehicle for an alien virus; in Alien, including Prometheus, it is the life force of the xenomorph and what created mankind; in Venom it is an alien parasite; in District 9 it is a alien bio-agent; in Lucy it represents the merging of consciousness with machines; in Event Horizon it is a portal to hell. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

(Ibrani 10:29)Renungan: Menurut cerita, HG. Spafford seorang penulis lagu rohani "It Is Well With My Soul" menuliskan lagu ini ketika ia sedang melintasi lautan atlantik. Di laut itulah ketiga anaknya mati tenggelam ketika mereka sedang berlayar ke Eropa. Cobaan yang dialami Spafford memang luar biasa karena beberapa tahun kemudian anaknya yang lain meninggal karena sakit. Setelah peristiwa itu orang-orang di gereja mengucilkan mereka karena beranggapan bahwa keluarga ini berhubungan dengan kuasa iblis.

Tetapi apa yang terjadi ketika saudara-saudara seimannya mengucilkan dan memisahkan diri darinya? Ia tidak kuat lagi menahannya. Jiwanya hancur dan pada akhirnya ia menderita sakit jiwa. Kita harus mengakui bahwa kekuatan kita untuk menanggung segala sesuatunya sangat terbatas. Kita membutuhkan kekuatan dan kemampuan yang berasal dari luar diri kita sendiri.

Mereka inilah yang senantiasa mendoakan dan memberikan dukungan moril.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 25 Agustus 2025Bacaan "Seperti pecahan periuk bersalutkan perak, demikianlah bibir manis dengan hati jahat." (Amsal 26:23)Renungan: Di suatu desa hiduplah seorang wanita yang terkenal culas. Ketika kematian menjemputnya, la ditempatkan di mana orang-orang jahat berada. Malaikat yang menjemputnya berusaha mengingat-ingat kebaikan yang pernah dibuatnya untuk diajukan sebagai bahan pertimbangan dalam keputusan yang akan diberikan kepadanya. Kemudian malaikat itu teringat bahwa wanita itu pernah sekali mencabut serumpun bawang dari kebunnya dan memberikannya kepada seorang pengemis. Singkat cerita wanita Ini mendapat kemurahan dan diberi kesempatan keluar dari tempat penyiksaan yang panas dan pengap itu. Tuhan berkata kepada malaikat. "Ambil serumpun bawang dan ulurkan kepadanya. la boleh keluar dari tempat ini dengan memegang bawang itu. Jika ia bisa keluar ia mendapat kesempatan untuk hidup di Firdaus, tetapi jika gagal karena bawang itu pecah atau putus maka ia tetap tinggal di lautan api ini." Kemudian malaikat mengambil serumpun bawang dan mengulurkannya kepada wanita itu. "Peganglah bawang ini erat-erat karena aku akan menarikmu dengan ini." Ketika ia sudah terangkat, beberapa orang penghuni lautan api itu memegang kakinya supaya mereka bisa ikut naik. Ketika wanita itu menyadarinya, la mengibaskan kakinya supaya orang-orang itu terjatuh. Ia berteriak, "Sayalah yang ditarik, bukan kalian. Ini adalah bawangku, bukan bawang kalian. Lepaskan kakiku!" Karena hentakan kakinya yang keras, maka putusiah bawang itu dan wanita itu kembali ke dalam lautan api itu. Dari ilustrasi ini kita diingatkan untuk menjaga hati. Hati adalah tempat yang rentan untuk bertumbuhnya benih-benih jahat. Dalam hati yang jahat terdapat benih-benih kecurigaan, iri hati, balas dendam. kesombongan, amarah, ketidakpedulian, takut disaingi, minta dihormati, korupsi, tipu muslihat dll. Sedikit saja terbuka kesempatan maka benih itu akan mulai menancapkan akarnya dan bertumbuh dengan cepat seperti benalu. Kalau tidak waspada maka ia akan segera menguasai dan mengendalikan hidup kita. Mungkin orang tidak mengetahui kejahatan apa saja yang saat ini akar-akarnya sudah menancap di hati kita, tetapi Tuhan tahu, "Aku, Tuhan, yang menyelidiki hati, yang menguji batin, untuk memberi balasan kepada setiap orang setimpal dengan tingkah langkahnya, setimpal dengan hasil perbuatannya." (Yer 17:10). Karena itu setiap hari jaga dan bersihkanlah hati dari benih-benih yang jahat.

In popular memory, the Second World War was an unalloyed victory for freedom over totalitarianism, marking the demise of the age of empires and the triumph of an American-led democratic order. In Scorched Earth: A Global History of World War II (Basic Books, 2025), historian Paul Thomas Chamberlin opens a longer and wider aperture on World War II and recasts the war as a brutal conflict for survival and hegemony between declining and ascendant imperial powers. Scorched Earth dismantles the myth of World War II as a “good war.” Instead, Chamberlin depicts the conflict as a massive battle beset by vicious racial atrocities, fought between rival empires across huge stretches of Asia and Europe. The war was sparked by German and Japanese invasions that threatened the old powers' dominance, not by Allied opposition to fascism. The Allies achieved victory not through pluck and democratic idealism but through savage firebombing raids on civilian targets and the slaughter of millions of Soviet soldiers. And World War II did not deliver lasting peace: instead, the Soviet Union and United States emerged as hypermilitarized superpowers that would create arsenals of nuclear weapons, resulting in a decades-long Cold War standoff and subsequent violence across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.Dramatically rendered and persuasively argued, Scorched Earth offers a revisionist history of World War II, revealing it was colonial in its origins, genocidal in its execution, and imperial in its outcomes. Dr. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of the US in the world who specializes in the moral fog of war. He is currently a DPAA Research Partner Fellow at the University of Southern Mississippi and a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network. He is also working on a book about the reversal in US grand strategy from victory at all costs in World War II to peace at any price in the Vietnam War.

In this explosive follow-up to The Meadow Project, Trey Hudson takes you deeper into the shadows of one of America's most bizarre hotspots for the paranormal. Dubbed “the South's Skinwalker Ranch,” this mysterious patch of land rivals its Utah counterpart in mind-bending phenomena: UFOs, bizarre entities, missing time, disembodied voices, portals, and other Unexplained Terrestrial Events (UTEs) that defy logic—and terrify seasoned investigators.But this time, it's not just about the Meadow.Through extensive research and boots-on-the-ground expeditions, Hudson uncovers unsettling commonalities between the Meadow and other infamous locations—like the eerie Stardust Ranch, the enigmatic Marley Woods, and the legendary Bradshaw Ranch. Disturbing patterns emerge: vanishing beings, cubes from the ether, ghostly figures caught on film, and physical effects that linger long after the encounters end.You'll witness hypnotic regressions that reveal abductions too bizarre to fabricate, chilling thermal images of creatures half-formed in another reality, and a closer look at the “boxes” that defy explanation—appearing from nowhere, seen by multiple credible witnesses, and caught on camera.Return to the Meadow isn't just a sequel.

Department of Energy national labs study DeepSeek; A major shakeup in the Pentagon's AI enterprise

The China-based artificial intelligence model DeepSeek isn't available for widespread use at the Department of Energy, but approval of some elements may be possible following a study by two of its national labs, an agency IT official said Tuesday. DeepSeek's launch has prompted congressional proposals to rein in its use in government and proactive bans by several federal agencies, including DOE. But during a panel at a FedScoop-produced Salesforce event, Bridget Carper — the agency's deputy CIO for architecture, engineering, technology and innovation — said the model has still been studied by two DOE national labs. Carper said the agency allowed two of its labs — which she didn't identify — to look at the system “because there's value in testing the open models. There's value in understanding the performance. How does it actually compare?” The separate labs looked at the model to see if they could do comparisons with alternatives they had, Carper said. Those studies also took place with guardrails. They were controlled, sanctioned and fully documented, she said. And ultimately, they found some potential benefits. The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering is taking over the “authority, direction, and control” of the Pentagon's Chief Digital and AI Office, according to new guidance issued last Thursday by Deputy Secretary of Defense Stephen Feinberg that presents an accelerated plan to disrupt and transform how the emerging technology is adopted across the Defense Department and military. Feinberg wrote in a memorandum to Pentagon leadership, combatant commanders, and defense agency and DOD field activity directors that “by aligning the CDAO under the USD(R&E), we create a powerful innovation engine that can deliver Al superiority from laboratory to battlefield.” The CDAO had previously been a direct report to the deputy SecDef. DefenseScoop obtained a copy of the directive from a source who requested anonymity to share it last Friday, after others alerted the publication of its creation. A defense official subsequently acknowledged the memo's existence in an email — noting that the CDAO will continue to execute all current statutory responsibilities without interruption during this transition. The defense official said the realignment is “the next step in making a uniform, AI-first push for the [DOD],” adding that it won't create additional review layers or bureaucratic processes.

And Jeff Adorno, Field Chief Compliance Officer at ZScaler, warns of risks in the AI era, where sensitive data can unintentionally “leak” into Large Language Models. The panel as a whole highlights how aligning with existing frameworks and using current technologies can demonstrate progress to auditors and ease compliance.     Listen now on your favorite podcast platform because whether you're deep into compliance or just getting started, this conversation will help you navigate the evolving landscape of CMMC and beyond.

In popular memory, the Second World War was an unalloyed victory for freedom over totalitarianism, marking the demise of the age of empires and the triumph of an American-led democratic order. In Scorched Earth: A Global History of World War II (Basic Books, 2025), historian Paul Thomas Chamberlin opens a longer and wider aperture on World War II and recasts the war as a brutal conflict for survival and hegemony between declining and ascendant imperial powers. Scorched Earth dismantles the myth of World War II as a “good war.” Instead, Chamberlin depicts the conflict as a massive battle beset by vicious racial atrocities, fought between rival empires across huge stretches of Asia and Europe. The war was sparked by German and Japanese invasions that threatened the old powers' dominance, not by Allied opposition to fascism. The Allies achieved victory not through pluck and democratic idealism but through savage firebombing raids on civilian targets and the slaughter of millions of Soviet soldiers. And World War II did not deliver lasting peace: instead, the Soviet Union and United States emerged as hypermilitarized superpowers that would create arsenals of nuclear weapons, resulting in a decades-long Cold War standoff and subsequent violence across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.Dramatically rendered and persuasively argued, Scorched Earth offers a revisionist history of World War II, revealing it was colonial in its origins, genocidal in its execution, and imperial in its outcomes. Dr. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of the US in the world who specializes in the moral fog of war.

The second Trump administration has spent 2025 accelerating its software modernization initiatives through the creation of agencies like the U.S. DOGE Service and other entities designed to digitize and modernize the American government. Modeling after DOD enterprise software container platforms, the Department of Veterans Affairs stood up its own Platform One application in 2021 to drive software modernization within the agency. Matthew Fuqua, technical lead at VA's Platform One, told GovCIO Media & Research Platform One is a sandbox environment where software developers can safely experiment and build applications using protected data. He said his team took inspiration from similar endeavors in federal government and built a platform where developers can focus their efforts solely on coding. Fuqua said that Platform One's ethos centered around “speed, stability, scale and security,” and each tenet drives the mission of providing services through software that can benefit veterans. Platform One supports the VA's DevSecOps strategy to streamline its operations and shift away from the traditional waterfall approach to software development that hinders innovation at speed. In a DevSecOps environment, Fuqua's team is able to monitor, update and secure troves of data rapidly, shortening processes that used to take days down to hours. Fuqua said that AI has opened the door to new potential applications but data security is paramount when considering building new software.

The war was sparked by German and Japanese invasions that threatened the old powers' dominance, not by Allied opposition to fascism. The Allies achieved victory not through pluck and democratic idealism but through savage firebombing raids on civilian targets and the slaughter of millions of Soviet soldiers. And World War II did not deliver lasting peace: instead, the Soviet Union and United States emerged as hypermilitarized superpowers that would create arsenals of nuclear weapons, resulting in a decades-long Cold War standoff and subsequent violence across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.Dramatically rendered and persuasively argued, Scorched Earth offers a revisionist history of World War II, revealing it was colonial in its origins, genocidal in its execution, and imperial in its outcomes. Dr. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of the US in the world who specializes in the moral fog of war. He is currently a DPAA Research Partner Fellow at the University of Southern Mississippi and a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network. He is also working on a book about the reversal in US grand strategy from victory at all costs in World War II to peace at any price in the Vietnam War.

Send us a textPeaches tears through the August 14th Daily Drop with zero fluff and plenty of side-eye. From the U.S. military flexing in the Caribbean and 800 Guard troops rolling into D.C., to the Space Force launching a GPS upgrade that's only five decades overdue, it's a buffet of defense news with extra sarcasm. We cover Pentagon IT projects that cost millions just to die on the vine, Nigeria's suspiciously expensive weapons buy, and why Instagram's new location tracker is basically a free gift to stalkers. Oh, and if you're gearing up for the Nashville Operator Training Summit, Peaches has your gear hookup—plus a warning about Coasties who don't like having their fun stolen.
