On May 30, 2025, the FDA sent a letter of approval to the pharmaceutical company Moderna to manufacture and sell its new COVID-19 vaccine.1 But even more dismaying, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the world's most prominent advocate for vaccine safety, has now gone out on a political limb and committed himself to promoting Moderna's latest version of the mRNA Covid jab.2 In doing so, Kennedy is supporting the continuation of the world's most lethal medical or wartime assault on humanity, one that many see as a bioweapons attack on America by the globalists, including Communist China.   There are more than 38,000 reports of death to date to the CDC and FDA from the COVID-19 vaccines. Nothing like this catastrophe has ever before happened in medicine or public health. In addition, there is a deluge of reports and independent studies verifying the almost infinite harms caused by these mRNA vaccines. These harms include infertility, a declining birth rate, multiple harms to infants and mothers, cardiovascular disorders, including myocarditis in children and strokes in adults, tumors, a wide range of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which results in greater susceptibility to infections and cancer. But for every reported death and other serious adverse event, we know that there are more than 100 actual deaths or harms. These “vaccines” are killing and maiming millions in America and millions more around the world.3   Here is Kennedy's entire defense of his atrocious actions:     Actually, there is nothing “limited” about the approval letter. The letter specifically empowers Moderna to manufacture and distribute the drug. They will go ahead with this before completing any additional studies supposedly promised to Kennedy, which would take years more. Besides, once a drug company has spent multi-millions getting a drug approved, as they have already done, I've never seen a company actually complete additional studies that could invalidate their drug. Moderna's survival is at stake, and drug companies don't commit economic suicide. And this one has the backing of Bill Gates!   Kennedy has broken many recent promises to get himself into this bizarre situation of betraying his previously voiced ideals. He is approving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine without so much as a placebo-controlled clinical trial or even a review by the FDA Vaccine Committee. On top of that, pregnant women are not protected as he promised to do. But worst of all, he has never even promised to stop the heavily documented murder of the elderly who are killed by the mRNA covid vaccines at a rate of eight times more than the rest of the population.4   Many of us will remain eternally grateful for RFK, Jr's support for Donald Trump's election campaign. But now he must resign or be removed.   Kennedy's acceptance of the FDA's approval of Moderna's Covid vaccine is more than sufficient reason to fire him. But in addition, he is also grossly undermining the Trump administration and literally threatening the well-being of all our citizens by advocating the use of extremely dangerous neurotoxins, including methylene blue, MDMA or Ecstasy, and psychedelics. Trump's choice for Surgeon General, based on Kennedy's recommendation, is devoted to psychedelics! It's as if  RFK, Jr. has become a toxic mole within the America First movement.   For an in-depth scientific analysis and presentation about everything in this synopsis, please read the full article: RFK, Jr. blatantly supports the mRNA COVID shots and must be forced to resign - Full Article   End Notes:   1 May 30, 2025 Approval Letter – MNEXSPIKE   2 Secretary Kennedy on X: “I want to address those of you who have anxieties about @US_FDA's limited approval of a new mRNA COVID vaccine for high-risk populations. Moderna has agreed to a true placebo-controlled trial of the new vaccine, which is similar to the existing mRNA vaccine but uses a smaller” / X. Actually, there is nothing “limited” about the approval letter. Besides,  once a drug has spent multi-millions getting a drug approved, I've never seen one fulfill a promise to do studies that could invalidate their drug.   Besides, if a study of safety is still needed, it's ridiculous to put off until after it's been approved, by which time many could be harmed.   3 New FDA Plans for the Covid Vaccines Will Kill Millions More   4 New FDA Plans for the Covid Vaccines Will Kill Millions More   ______   Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/   See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control   Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/   Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?

In this episode, Father Matt and Father Brian discuss Thunderbolts* (2025), the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They explore the film's central themes of trauma and the power of love to overcome conflict, drawing connections to Christian understandings of suffering. The episode also includes reflections on recent films they've watched, commentary on the direction of the Marvel franchise, and a fun mythology quiz to wrap things up. 0:28: Fr. Brian and Fr. Matt begin by catching up on the few months since they last recorded an episode, discussing the appointment of Archbishop Weisenburger as Archbishop of Detroit and the election of Pope Leo XIV. They also catch up on some of the movies they've recently seen, including The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965) depicting the relationship between Michelangelo and Pope Julius II during the painting of the Sistine Chapel; Pride and Prejudice, the 2005 remake starring Keira Knightley; Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005); Snow White (2025); and Warfare, (2025) about he real-life experiences of soldiers in the 2003-2011 Iraq War. 10:41: Fr. Brian introduces the film that is the focus of this episode, Thunderbolts*. Released in 2025, the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was directed by Jake Schreier and written by Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo. 11:48: Fr. Matt and Fr. Brian discuss the expansiveness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which shows and movies they've seen, and how keeping up with all this content can make it difficult for casual viewers to keep up with the characters, plots, and maintain a sense of engagement with the heroic characters. Our hosts also discuss how the last several Marvel shows and films seem to have been trying to convey a message or promote an agenda rather than simply tell an entertaining story. 16:33: Fr. Matt provides a brief overview of the plot and main characters of Thunderbolts*. 24:41: Fr. Brian and Fr. Matt discuss some of the major themes in the film: how to deal with the parts of ourselves that we may not like, managing the effects of wounds from our pasts, and breaking the stranglehold that psychological trauma can have on our lives. 28:46: Fr. Matt talks about how the film depicts the power of love to overcome conflict. Fr Brian adds to that discussion, noting that for the characters in the film, their success only comes when they stop working in isolation and begin working together. This is very much akin to our understanding that we do not suffer alone; Christ enters into our suffering with us. 30:56: Fr. Matt notes that the film also portrays the notion that we are not defined by our worst moments and that great freedom can come from bringing them to the light. 34:16: Our hosts share their “seeds of the word” ratings for the film, based on how clearly they saw goodness, truth, and beauty reflected in the story. 39:46: In the last segment, Fr. Brain quizzes Fr. Matt about characters from Roman and Greek mythology.

On the afternoon of June 6, 2025, during Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial, a woman testifying under the pseudonym "Jane" provided detailed and emotional testimony about her experiences with Combs. She described being coerced into prolonged, drug-fueled sexual encounters, referred to as "hotel nights," which often involved male escorts and could last up to three and a half days. Jane testified that Combs supplied her with Ecstasy to endure these sessions and pressured her to continue despite her exhaustion, using phrases like "Let's finish strong." She recounted that Combs directed the activities, instructing her on how to interact with the escorts and herself, and that he would watch and masturbate during these encounters. Jane also detailed the physical toll these events took on her, including chronic back pain and frequent urinary tract infections. She stated that despite expressing her discomfort, Combs dismissed her concerns, and she felt compelled to comply due to her financial dependence on him, as he was paying her rent and providing other support.In addition to the physical and emotional abuse, Jane testified about the psychological manipulation she endured. She shared text messages and personal notes with the jury, revealing her feelings of being used and dismissed by Combs. One note read, "You lie straight to my face...all you want is another hotel night like you've been doing for two years." Jane recounted an instance where she was promised a vacation without any "hotel nights," but upon arrival, she was subjected to another coerced sexual encounter. She described feeling betrayed and manipulated, stating that she would not have gone on the trip had she known what was planned. Jane's testimony also highlighted the ongoing financial control Combs had over her, as she revealed that he continued to pay her rent even after their relationship endedto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:June 6, 2025 - Day 18 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial | CNN

*Note: This is the Free Content version of my interview with Veronica French. To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 2 'Groves of Orpheus' member on Patreon, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Veronica French. Veronica has an MA in Religious Studies from the University of Erfurt, Germany. She specializes in the study of modern shamanism, anthropology of religion and gender studies. Her master's thesis explored how modern shamans living in Germany define a “shaman way” and their turning point or crisis, which informs their “shamanic journey.” Her undergraduate work was in medical anthropology with a focus on shamanic techniques and Chinese 5 Element, in which she explored the scholar/practitioner position. She presented previously at the 8th Biannual Conference of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE) with the paper “Performative Strategies of Creative Esotericism in 19th Century Jewish Communities” (Cork, Ireland, 2022); XXXI International Summer School on Religion Women and Religions with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Empowerment and Green Religion: Contemporary Shamanic Practice in Germany” (San Gimignano, Italy, 2024); and the International Theosophical History Conference 2024 with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Theosophy and Ecological Spirituality: Connecting Nature Spiritualities” (Ascona, Switzerland, 2024). Veronica also presented at three seminars at the University of Erfurt: “Initial Shamanic Interviews” University of Erfurt, Master's Thesis Colloquium (2023); “Green Religion and Indigeneity in Popular Media,”University of Erfurt, Green Religion? Answers to Climate Change from the Perspective of Religious Studies (2023); and “Ethnographic Work of Shamanic Practice in Eastern Germany,” University of Erfurt, Master's Writing Seminar (2023).In this discussion, Veronica shares her background and inspiration for her research into modern shamanism. We talk a bit about the terms shamanism and animism, as these are somewhat contested within academia, and Veronica shares how she is using these terms in her work. She explains what questions she was asking at the outset of her project, and also the surprising additions that arose once she started interviewing her participants. Veronica also notes the interesting data that she gathered regarding topics such as gender, identity, “lived religion,” and ecology. As Veronica has her own experience within the concept known as a the holistic milieu (referring to a broad and diverse spiritual landscape that encompasses various New Age and alternative spiritual practices; often contrasted with traditional religious institutions, as it focuses on personal spirituality, self-development, and holistic well-being rather than formal doctrines or organized worship), she found she was able to relate well to the experiences of her participants, and this aspect has led her to consider continuing her research using the method known as autoethnography. This is a qualitative research method that combines autobiographical storytelling with ethnographic analysis. It allows researchers to use their personal experiences to explore and critique cultural beliefs, practices, and social phenomena. Veronica talks about other scholars in the field who have been using this method, and how it is becoming more accepted within academia. If anyone has any questions or comments for Veronica, please post them here or contact me via email and I can pass these on to her. She welcomes further feedback and discussion! Veronica was also very kind to share some references for futher reading; please see this below. PROGRAM NOTESReferences:Olivia Cejan: "Arts and Crafts Divine" is her dissertation utilizing autoethnography and pedagogy to write about a secret society group. Talk at Copenhagen Conference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g2qvGcy5pY&t=524sCorrine Sombrun: -Her institute: https://trancescience.org/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oDs10hUy6ETrailer to her movie; English subtitlesTed Talk:English subtitleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0kIECFi0Uhttps://amara.org/videos/Tcvokh51yb2Y/en/1543652/?tab=revisionsAnother interview with English (Google)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syy4MTHAfF4 Alice Ahern: Phd Cork Ireland, studying shamanism and pop culture:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCCeV7MLtFcYoutube talk:  "The Reclamation of Feminine Wisdom in the Irish Neo-Shamanic Milieu" Traditional Religions view on Nature Religions:https://fore.yale.edu/Event-Listings/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Conference-Series/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Archivehttps://fore.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/annual_review_environment.pdfBibliography :Eliade, Mircea.

 Dr. Bruce Lipton has proved and explained how we can heal our self with our mind.What we are?A battery with 50Trillions cells.We are not an entity; we are a community of 50Trillions cells.Every cell is communicating via the energy or via the vibration.Every cell is intelligent. The cells are in a community, they give up their personal intelligence and respond to the central voice… If the central voice wants to die the cells will die.The central voice is the mind.The mind is influenced by the internal and external environment.The brain perceives the signals from the internal and external environment and interpret these signals and send the information to the cells to control the behavior and genetics.Explanation of the placebo effect:You have a positive thought that something can heal you, even you don't know it (for instance sugar pill); if you believe in it, then it can heal yourself.It is proved that 1/3 of all healing occurs through the placebo effect or through that thought.What is if you have negative thinking that you can't be healed? This is the nocebo effect.As positive thinking/feelings/belief can heal you, negative thinking/feelings can kill you!!!If the doctor gives you the belief that you will die this belief will kill you!What is if we suppress our negative feelings and thoughts?Then these suppressed negative feelings and thoughts will harm our body! The solution is to release our negativity so that the positivity comes by itself! If we practice “Positive thinking”, then we suppress our negativity, and that will harm our body!Some sects of the Baptists contemplate on God to go in Ecstasy. And when they are in Ecstasy, even deadly Rattlesnakes can bite them without harming them.Or some drink Strychnine in Toxic doses and when they in that state of belief the toxic doesn't affect them.Even we would not have so many evidence in the past that Faith heals… at least the Baptists proof that…. Instead, we still believe that Mosquitoes can make us ill… What you believe you will harvest and that proves the Quantum Physics. Next week I will write more…If we had stronger beliefs, we would be much stronger.In 1961, Terry Jo Duperrault, an 11year old girl was found alone on the Ocean in a small broken white raft. She over lived the family massacre and were drifting 4 days without water or food, far away from the Bahamas. She prayed to God and trusted in God… She is still alive!  Don't be limited through your beliefs. Also, we can use the energy of the cell for healing. With Qigong, acupuncture, acupressure we lead the energy through our body in a certain way to heal the body!My Video: Quantum physics proves that faith heals https://youtu.be/MiECabMy9M0My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Quantum-physics-proves-that-faith-heals.mp3

Ob man sich letzte Woche wirklich mit Champagner und Ecstasy aufs isländische Glatteis bewegt hat oder ob es sich bei dem Trip einfach um einen gelungenen Après Ski Abend in Tirol handelte, lässt sich anhand Bills verwackelten Selfie Boomerangs vorm Gletscherpanorama heute nicht mehr beurteilen. Aber das passiert eben, wenn Georgs JGA zur Chefsache erklärt wird. Zeit für einen Konter-Cocktail.

Are these stories true, or fake news from the Babylon Bee? I can tell you right now, the P Diddy Obama Ecstasy story is real.

If you've noticed all the celebrations, new editions of Austen's work, new adaptations and not a few arguments over issues which seem to amount to 'who's the biggest fan?' then you may have an inkling that it is a major Jane Austen landmark this year.  Celebrating the 250th year since Jane Austen's birth, the dragons have decided to do their own thing and judge a pageant of Jane Austen adaptations in film, TV, theatre and book form, in an effort to find their own favourite adaptation of Austen's work. Under the magnifying glass this week - 1995 Pride & Prejudice, Ang Lee's Sense & Sensibility, Bridget Jones' Diary and many more.    Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic  

Sind Ketamin und Psychedelika die neuen Wunderwaffen gegen psychische Erkrankungen? Magic Mushrooms, Ecstasy – was früher als Rauschmittel verteufelt wurde, gilt heute als vielversprechende Therapie gegen Depression, Suchterkrankungen und psychische Traumafolgen. Doch sind Psychedelika wirklich die nächste große Revolution oder nur ein riskanter Hype? Und was ist mit Ketamin, das nicht zu den Psychedelika gehört? Der Tech-Milliardär Elon Musk soll es angeblich konsumieren. Kann eine Substanz, die ein solcher Visionär nimmt, wirklich schaden – und ist sie ein potenzielles Heilmittel gegen Depression? Mit Moderatorin Ina Tenz spricht Florian Holsboer über: - Warum Ketamin als Antidepressivum wirkt – und warum klassische Medikamente oft nicht ausreichen - Warum Studien oft Jahre dauern und was das für Betroffene bedeutet - Cannabis-Legalisierung – ein hochgefährliches Risiko - Der Hype um Psychedelika – bahnbrechende Therapie oder gefährliches Experiment? - Wie mediales Storytelling den Psychedelika-Boom befeuert - Warum begleitende Psychotherapie bei Psychedelika essenziell ist

Making a living from writing comes with practical considerations which the actual creative process doesn't prepare you for (probably). This week Jules and Madeleine delve into how to be a healthy creative ( spoiler alert: sleep is really important), what you need to consider when planning your finances, what legal considerations you need to bear in mind and a variety of other issues which writers often blithely ignore. We know. We did. Join the dragons as they talk candidly about the less glamorous side of being a writer.    Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

In this episode of the Shakespeare and Company Interview Podcast, Adam Biles welcomes Philip Hoare to the bookstore for a mesmerizing conversation about Hoare's latest book, William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love. With characteristic lyricism, Hoare explores the mystic intersections between Blake's visionary art and poetry and the siren call of the ocean. The discussion flows through queer longing, mythic imagery, and the enduring pull of nature and art. A haunting, moving, and often playful exchange—as unruly and evocative as the sea itself.Buy William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/the-moon-is-a-watery-star*Philip Hoare is the author of ten works of non-fiction. His Leviathan won the Baillie Gifford Prize, and the New York Times praised his last book, Albert &; the Whale, as the result of ‘the forceful weather system that is Hoare's imagination'. Writing in the Observer, Laura Cumming called his writing ‘the animating magic that brings people of the past directly into our present and unleashes spectacular visions along the way'. He lives in Southampton, on the south coast of England, and swims every day in the sea.Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company.

Christianity cannot fit within the empirical limitations imposed by the Enlightenment. If we reduce the Christian faith to rational explanation, practical advice, and political agendas we end up with a paper-thin, watered-down, cheap knock-off of Christianity that no longer has the capacity to astonish.

The dragons are back! Join us for an exciting season delving into new writing topics and speculative fiction takes.   This week, Jules and Madeleine take a look at the 'nice guy' trope. While the term is relatively new, the character type is not, cropping up in Shakespeare, Austen and even in folklore. While this was a character archetype introduced originally to balance the over-muscled, over-sexed and under-brained macho male lead of the seventies and eighties, writers took their collective eye off the ball and things went south pretty quickly. So what is a 'nice guy' and why does something so innocuous sounding carry so much collective dirt? Find out in part one of a two part episode.

Episode SummaryThe highly informed and deeply compassionate Amy Emerson joins Jef Szi and the How Humans Work Podcast for a remarkable conversation about the evolving landscape of psychedelics. With her extensive involvement and leadership in the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS)* and their multi-year effort to get MDMA approved by FDA as a therapeutic medicine for PTSD. There are few better than Amy who can speak to the state of psychedelics for medical use in society. Not only does Amy share her honest appraisal about FDA drug approval process and members of congress on the Hill, she gives us the little known and fascinating history of MDMA. Some highlights are Sasha and Ann Shulgin's groundbreaking contributions, the reputational damage MDMA suffered in the 90's, the long-game efforts of Rick Doblin and others, the powerful way MDMA works on the brain, and the remarkable promise MDMA has shown to help people suffering with PTSD. Put together as a whole, Emerson offers us a destigmatized and inspiring view of MDMA beyond the common street descriptions of Ecstasy and Molly. From MDMA and the Medical Model, Amy then helps us see the many other use-cases for psychedelics that have a long and varied history. Building on issues of trauma and the importance of spiritually reconnecting with ourselves, we walk through the psychological benefits that can come with right-use of psychedelics.Finally, this conversation opens the visions of what future of psychedelic use in society through thoughtful contexts that track safety concerns and how, much like meditation, these ‘medicines' can have a place in our society like Buddhist and meditation practices have entered our culture. All in all, Breaking the Stigma is a podcast of significance, as it invites us to reconsider our biases around psychedelics at a time when our society is challenged by mental health matters like trauma and the pervasive disconnection from nature and spiritual renewal. ***** About: Amy Emerson is a highly respected leader in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy.

THE REVEREND OF KARMIC YOUTH-1The Interpreter2Starry Eyes3For You4Bloody Hammer5The Wind And More6Night Of The Vampire7You're Gonna Miss Me8I Walked With A Zombie9Stand For The Fire Demon10 When You Get Delighted11 To Think12 Warning13 True Love Cast Out All Evil14 Loving Isn't A Part Time Thing15 The Looking Glass SongAs lead singer of Texas' infamous 13th Floor Elevators — one of rock's earliest, strangest and greatest psychedelic bands — Roky Erickson explored the far reaches of musical and personal extremes. The Elevators' first two albums (Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators and Easter Everywhere, released, respectively, in 1966 and '67) are essential classics whose far-reaching influence transcends genre boundaries. Following a nightmarish '70s mental-hospital stint that reportedly had a devastating long-term effect on his mental health, Erickson's subsequent work revealed a singularly brilliant songwriter and performer whose talent was no less impressive for the fact that he was singing about zombies, vampires and aliens. Indeed, the demons that abound in Roky's songs are all-too-real reflections of his own troubled psyche, and the combination of the artist's oddly poetic lyrical constructions and his bracing banshee wail makes it clear, as it wasn't always, that he's not kidding.The Elevators fell apart in the late '60s, when Erickson began a three-year stretch in a state mental institution to avoid criminal prosecution on a drug charge. He didn't return to recording until the second half of the '70s, with a string of one-off singles and the four-song Sponge-label EP (reissued in 1988 as Two Headed Dog). Three of the EP's numbers were re-recorded for the 1980 CBS UK LP (the title of which is actually five unpronounceable ideograms). Roky Erickson and the Aliens is an excellent manifestation of his post-Elevators persona, expressing dark dilemmas through creepy horror-movie imagery. Roky sings such offbeat gems as “I Walked with a Zombie” and “Creature With the Atom Brain” in a tremulous voice that insists he's telling the truth — or at least believes he is. Former Creedence Clearwater bassist Stu Cook turned in an excellent production job, bringing the hard electric guitars (and Bill Miller's electric autoharp) into a sharp focus that underscores Roky's excitable state. Erickson and band seem less unstable than the drug-crazed Elevators (best remembered for “You're Gonna Miss Me”), but just barely.

Lasers, fog machines, silent prayers…and don't forget the ecstasy! In episode 126 of Overthink, Ellie and David dive into the experience of ecstasy. They look at interpretations of ecstasy in the tradition of mysticism, where ecstasy has been figured as a loss of self. How common are experiences of ecstasy? Are they limited to religious contexts, or are there alternate avenues for entering ecstatic states? And what about MDMA and its relation to rave culture? In the bonus, they explore how well ecstasy fits into William James' framework for mystical states, and consider the relationship between ecstasy, reason, and age.Works Discussed:St. Teresa of Avila, The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus Simon Critchley, On Mysticism: The Experience of Ecstasy James Landau, “The Flesh of Raving” Marghanita Laski, Everyday Ecstasy Wilhelm Mayer-Gross, “The Phenomenology of Abnormal Emotions of Happiness” Simon Reynolds, Generation Ecstasy Summer Heights High (2007)Support the showPatreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail | dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcast
