//The Wire//2300Z August 18, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: KINETIC TARGETING CONTINUES WITHIN MIDDLE EAST AS HOUTHIS LAUNCH MISSILES TOWARD DUBAI. TONGAN CRIP THREAT REMAINS SIGNIFICANT IN SALT LAKE CITY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Iran struck two more ships in the Strait of Hormuz last night, continuing the trend of the past couple of weeks. This morning, the UKMTO retroactively admitted to a merchant vessel being struck on August 15th, with the ship sustaining damage and one crew casualty. This afternoon, Houthi forces conducted a ballistic missile strike on the UAE, with missile warnings being issued in Dubai, for the first time since May. No locals reported witnessing any interception, and government officials stated that one missile splashed down in the Gulf, and another landed outside their territory.Analyst Comment: On the rhetoric front, this morning President Trump continued claiming control of the Strait of Hormuz, posting a graphic which claims the Strait is now U.S. territory. Even though waterways traditionally can't be claimed as land territory, and while this may just be a more lighthearted meme, at the other end of the spectrum this could be more serious. If the White House is indeed serious about making a territorial declaration of some kind, this could be an effort to move the goalposts to allow for the use of more substantial weapons. If Hormuz is America, then the US can claim that Iran is attacking the homeland. Of course, this logic is a stretch at best, but it's exactly the kind of reasoning that would make sense for the White House to rely on at this stage in the war.-HomeFront-Utah: One suspect has been arrested in conjunction with yesterday's events in Salt Lake City. Afuhia Masiu Manatau was arrested for his role in yesterday's shooting at the Tongan funeral in Kearns. During the funeral, a fight broke out among the congregation, between his 17-year-old son, and several others. During the fight, Manatau gave a firearm to his son, which resulted in the son attempting to murder the others. Manatau's son (the shooter) was shot in the chest during the engagement, and Manatau himself has been arrested.Analyst Comment: Concerning casualties, so far one fatality was reported as a result of the funeral shooting. The victim has been identified as Vilisoni (Soni) Angilau, a confirmed Tongan Crip who was recently released from prison after murdering a member of a rival gang in 2013. Soni Angilau's immediate relative, Naisa Angilau, was also recently released from prison for a completely different shooting as well, after he attempted to kill a gas station clerk in 2009. Of note, Soni's brother Siale also met a violent end as he was also shot and killed during a high-profile shooting that took place inside the courtroom during his trial. Siale Angilau was shot and killed by federal Marshals after attempting to stab a witness to death during his trial for racketeering back in 2014. All of these family members have an extensive presence on social media, and all self-identify as Tongan Crips.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Utah, additional details are helpful for understanding how serious yesterday's shooting actually was, especially considering the long history of similar murders. Despite assurances to the contrary, Intermountain Medical Center remained locked down throughout the evening last night, as the threats to the hospital remained constant. Many non-essential employees were escorted out of the hospital by SWAT, and patients' medical procedures were canceled due to the security threat. Intermountain Public Relations officials issued statements claiming that everything was fine and that there was no threat to the hospital, however employees within the hospital confirmed that these statements were not true.Intercepted radio traffic from 911 dispatch also confirms that the reason for the overwhelming police response at the hospital, was due to the Tongan Crip Gang attempting to breach the entrance to the Emergency department. At least one employee was assaulted and wounded in the ER, and a large crowd of Tongans also attempted to break through the Emergency Room entrance on the south side of Unit 4. After this breach attempt, local authorities responded in force, with SWAT officers responding immediately to reinforce the hospital and prevent the facility from being overrun. Snipers were deployed to the rooftops, and at least two Bearcat armored vehicles were posted at the Emergency Department to secure a perimeter around the facility.Concerning future threats, the circumstances of yesterday's funeral shooting are still unclear, with much of the eyewitness testimony being verifiably false as gang members seek to cover up the crime. The main question is whether or not this will result in a wider gang war, and right now the answer to that question is not so clear. The Tongan Crip Gang is known to engage in mutual combat within the gang itself, as rival factions settle internal disputes with violence and murder. Funerals are a common way for hostile TCG factions to meet up, and tensions flare. However, the Tongans also have many rivals locally which might also be inclined to stoke up a gang war. The TCG originally had a foothold in Inglewood, California, where the gang achieved it's extremely brutal reputation. After expanding this foothold to Salt Lake City, the TCG became one of the most legendarily violent gangs in the entire nation. Though small in numbers, they make up for their lack of footsoldiers with sheer violence. Even so, many locals prefer to call them "nice" and ignore this brutality, due to the affiliation this gang has within facilities owned by the LDS Church. This gang is known to murder people randomly without a second thought, and despite Tongans being less than one percent of the population of Utah, they make up over 13% of all gang member affiliation in the region. For those who want to make the argument that "not all Tongans" are causing problems, unfortunately in Salt Lake City specifically, this does not appear to be the case based on the case history and preponderance of evidence. During the Tongan Crip funeral murder at an LDS Ward back in January...not a single churchgoer came forward to name the killer. 100% of the congregants at the Ward where the murder took place, refused to speak to the police or provide a statement regarding what they saw. Police set up an anonymous hotline to protect witnesses, but among the hundreds of Tongans that witnessed that shooting, not a single person came forward to testify and the shooters were eventually charged based on evidence of the murder plans being found on their phones.Even the small handful of Tongans who are not documented gang members are extremely loyal to tribal allegiances; quite literally every single Tongan with a social media presence in Salt Lake County has expressed support for their guy who attempted to murder a gas station clerk with a shotgun. No one within this diaspora has condemned the actions of the man who's funeral even resulted in further bloodshed. The Tongan community has not tried to distance themselves from the frequent murders that are conducted within their areas, and most of the Tongan Wards within Salt Lake close ranks around those who commit violent murders.Concerning yesterday's shootings, posts on social media indicate that other family members of yesterday's deceased have been observed flashing Tongan Crip Gang signs and generally confirming their gang affiliation, specifically within the Tongan Wards. On Facebook, most of the Salt Lake Tongans don't wish each other a "Happy B-Day"...they change it to "C-Day" because the letter "B" is too closely affiliated with their arch rivals...the Bloods. This is a callback to their Inglewood origins...many of the TCG's rivals are much the same as in California. The Rose Park Bloods are their main external adversary within Salt Lake, as both gangs have been expanding into each other's turf. In the same area, the Rose Park Taliban (a gang formed from the children of refugees from the Middle East) also maintains some presence, and is allied with the Bloods. Back in March, a Rose Park Taliban member tried to murder a liquor store employee in Taylorsville (near Tongan Crip territory), so gang violence in southwest Salt Lake specifically from these gangs is a constant. As yesterday's "victim" had previously killed a member of the Baby Regulators gang, it's possible that this was a revenge killing that was unrelated to the other Angilau who's funeral was being held at the time.As a result of this complicated web of alliances and relationships between extremely violent gangs, more violence is expected. Despite the grass skirts, barbeques, and disarming smiles, most of these people are killers, and the killing is only likely to escalate. Since one person was killed during the funeral shooting, the funeral for that person will undoubtedly be another opportunity for another shooting, as the cycle of violence and vengeance continues.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

We take your calls about heroism in the ER with Dr. Brian Goldman. He's the host of CBC's 'White Coat, Black Art' and 'The Dose.' He's written a new book called 'The Casino Shift: Stories from an ER on the Edge'.
When Henry Masuka rushed his infant son into St. Michael's Hospital during a severe asthma attack, long ER wait times and systemic roadblocks pushed a desperate parent to the absolute edge. What began as a father's panicked plea to save his child's life tragically escalated into a deadly confrontation with law enforcement outside the hospital doors. This episode examines the forensic psychology of threat perception, institutional crisis management, and the breaking point of human instinct under extreme pressure.

In 1999 a father named Henry Masuka walked into St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto carrying his infant son through an asthma attack and walked out into a police shooting that ended his life. This episode traces the desperate arithmetic of a parent facing a locked door between his child and care, the systemic wait times that turned panic into crisis, and the strange cultural echo that later linked this tragedy to a Hollywood film. We sit with the psychology of threat perception, institutional failure, and the myth of the reasonable man under pressure.

A patient kept showing up in the Emergency Room. Most insurance reps would approve or decline each claim and move on. One customer service representative at Devoted Health called to ask the patient why there were so many repeated visits. Didn't take long for the rep to discover the problem. It was created by mold in the patient's home. The deeper problem was the patient had no money to move. The rep didn't just flag it. She got the company to help the patient move to a new and safe place. Eric Ries tells this story in his latest book, Incorruptible, as proof of something AI can't replicate: the instinct to ask the right question and respond to the answer as if the patient were a family member. On this episode, Cal and Eric talk about what happens when a business defines its product as love. And why there are no algorithms that can compete with the human touch when it comes to generating supreme loyalty.

Emergency department overcrowding has become one of healthcare's most pressing operational challenges, yet many organizations continue to focus on symptoms rather than underlying causes. As patient acuity rises and hospital capacity constraints intensify, emergency departments are increasingly serving as the front door to complex care delivery.In this episode of Value-Based Care Insights, Daniel Marino speaks with Dr. Marty Lucenti, a nationally recognized emergency medicine physician and operational performance expert, about the evolving role of the emergency department and the factors driving persistent overcrowding. Marty discusses why today's emergency department functions more like an acute diagnostic center than a traditional emergency room, explores the impact of patient complexity and inpatient capacity limitations, and shares strategies healthcare leaders can use to improve patient flow, optimize capacity management, and better align care delivery with growing demand.

What kind of man gets studied at Yale, Brown, and Harvard, builds a 300 person international research consortium, and still has powerful people working to erase his name? Dr. Daniel Ingram is not a guru. He is a retired level one trauma emergency physician. A published neuroscience researcher. The author of a book that has shaped contemplative practice for tens of thousands of readers. The acting organizer of a global research effort spanning Harvard, Yale, Brown, Cambridge, and Oxford. By every credential medicine respects, he is one of their own.So why did a senior figure allegedly commission an academic article engineered to surface at the top of every search of his name, with one stated goal? That nobody would ever believe him again. Because Dr. Ingram crossed a line his profession does not permit. He claimed that awakening is real. That it is measurable. That it is observable in the brain. We go into what he has seen at the edges of human perception. What he documented in the lab. What he believes medicine is doing to patients every single day by refusing to look.The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium

We have a packed podcast this week. Full of lots of questions others won't ask. Want to know the truth about the current upset at CBS? Find out more through the link below!If you didn't hear the news, “veteran” 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley has been fired for thinking he was above the rules and accusing his bosses at a public meeting of destroying the company. But as we reveal It was Scott and his merry band of journalistic liars who started the rot. They lied and lied even when their hero assaulted Phelim (go to the link below for that video). And talking of the truth - you won't believe what Pope Leo used to write his anti-AI encyclical. From NAZI to Not so Married - Graham Platner. The Democrats thought they had found the perfect candidate to run against Republican Susan Collins in Maine - they were ok with the Nazi tattoo - and the rape jokes but - have they reached the breaking point? We investigate the Nazi sexter who could be in the Senate. And in our Not All Things Considered segment- we expose NPR's failing show where they want to cover up the news, not cover the news. And so we examine their coverup interview of former Vice President Al Gore. They were celebrating, yes celebrating the 20th anniversary of his documentary An Inconvenient Truth but forgot to ask some very crucial questions. We ask the questions they didn't and examine the damage Gore did to children who were terrified the world was ending. Spoiler alert... it didn't.Anti-semitic Ireland is ok with playing Qatar and even Afghanistan in sport, two world leaders in oppression. But there is one country that is beyond the pale - there is no prize for guessing which one it is. Watch this week where one Irish sports pundit lies about the wars Israel is fighting and expresses disgust at the notion of his president shaking hands with an Israeli. What does that sound like to you?The sacrifices we make for you listeners on the podcast. We analyse the latest offerings from that evil bore Dr Jill “Macbeth” Biden. Her book has just come out - and of course she “never ever ever” saw any sign of Joe's decline. Sure we believe her… well except when she thought he was having a stroke. This week we investigate her bizarre response to her husband's health crisis. We finish this week with a crazy California special. Did you know that San Francisco was giving free booze to homeless drunks? Because they are victims of course. And wait until you see how much it costs to give booze to just 55 drunks - I mean victims.

Hello to you listening in Leeds, Yorkshire, UK! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Once upon a time the wise fool and teacher Nasruddin Hodja was asked: Master, what's the secret to happiness? Nasruddin replied, The secret to happiness is good judgment. Yes, Master, but how do we get good judgment? Nasruddin replied, Good judgment comes from experience. Yes, Master, but how do we get experience? Ah well, replied Nasruddin, that would come from bad judgment. Growing up I had to do it my way! No matter who told me, No! I was determined to find out for myself. I touched fire to see if it was hot. Rode my two-wheeler bike down the steepest hill in town, no hands. No matter how much my intuition said, “When in doubt, don't!” I did. Over time I learned that fire is hot, they do cut off your favorite shirt in the emergency room, and my intuition demands respect. But, what if my bad judgment was the experience I needed to acquire the secret? What secret? Maybe not happiness but surely adventure! Question: What good secrets have your bad judgments taught you? You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
A bit of a critical week to recap today, with an injury that landed me in the Emergency Room in Pearisburg. I'm currently off trail but working on getting back to trail in the coming days.

Send us Fan Mail We don't usually notice stress when it begins. It shows up quietly as overthinking, overworking, saying yes when we want to say no. Then one day, we wake up tired, disconnected, and not even sure who we are anymore. In this honest, grounded conversation, Avik sits with stress management expert Lolita Guarin, founder of Be Amazing You and creator of the CALM Process. Lolita shares the moment her body forced her to listen, why hustle culture became a badge of honour, and how learning to read stress as information, not as the enemy, can change how we work, parent, love, and rest. This is a conversation for anyone who has been quietly running on empty. About the Guest: Lolita Guarin is a Certified Stress Management Coach, five-time #1 bestselling Amazon author, speaker, and founder of Be Amazing You. As the creator of the CALM Process, she helps busy professionals move from burnout and overwhelm into clarity, confidence, and self-trust. Key Takeaways: Stress isn't the enemy, it's information. The exhaustion, the snapping, the low energy are all signals that your tank needs filling, not punishment. Busyness has become a badge of honour, and that badge is costing us our health, our relationships, and the next generation we're quietly teaching to do the same. Hustle is rarely about ambition. Underneath it sits the human need to feel safe, seen, appreciated, and loved for who you are, not what you produce. Self-care is the gas in your car. Nobody questions filling the tank, yet we treat our own refuelling like selfishness. Permission to change your mind is a real boundary. You can step out for a five-minute walk and decide to keep going or turn back, and that small choice rebuilds self-trust. Your stress doesn't only land on you. The people closest to you, especially children, learn how to handle their own lives by watching how you handle yours.

Put down the hospital cafeteria coffee because today I am diving into a "barbaric" problem in American hospitals that I can't believe I haven't addressed yet: ED Boarding. I'm talking to you like a med student in the trenches to explain why patients are stacking up in hallways for days and why it's not because we've run out of beds, but because the incentives of hospital administration and insurance companies are fundamentally broken. Later, we're tackling the new Netflix documentary Caterpillar about eye color change surgery. I'll break down the "laser-guided" sales pitch for keratopigmentation and why injecting ink into your clear cornea is an ethical nightmare that can lead to permanent inflammation, infections, and "unnatural" results. We wrap up with a terrifying masquerade syndrome: a cancer that looks exactly like a common stye until it starts making your eyelashes fall out. Takeaways: The Boarding Crisis: Why hospitals "concentrate the unhappy" in the ER to keep their inpatient satisfaction scores high elsewhere. The Profit Filter: How the aging Medicare population is treated as a "non-profitable" nuisance compared to high-margin outpatient surgeries. Iris Implants vs. Tattoos: The mechanical reason silicone discs are failing and why "eye tattoos" are actually just a layer of ink trapped in your cornea. The "Spontaneous" Color Myth: Why you should be wary of any surgeon claiming they can "naturally" change your eye color. The Masquerade Cancer: How Sebaceous Cell Carcinoma fools doctors for years by pretending to be a run-of-the-mill eyelid bump.

Early Warning Signs Your Business Is Headed for the ER (and How to Triage Fast) | w/ Maartje of The Business Emergency RoomIn this Beacon Way Podcast episode, the host speaks with Maartje of The Business Emergency Room about spotting and navigating business “emergencies.” Maartje explains that symptoms of crisis are similar in small and large organizations, with a key warning sign being stalled decision-making and running the business like “too many tabs open.” She shares how her engineering background and experience in oil and gas frontier projects, disaster recovery, and sailing shaped a scalable crisis framework focused on decision tools rather than domain expertise. They discuss reframing “failure” as learning and forward motion, finding sparring partners to escape the echo chamber, and using “needed conversations” to surface friction early by naming it and inviting perspectives. Maartje also describes triage for fast-growing service practices through clarifying the owner's core work, delegating operations, and rigorously prioritizing by asking “why now?”00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:42 Early Warning Signs05:49 From Engineering to Crisis Work10:14 Why Business ER Exists13:12 Reframing Failure16:52 Finding Support Systems20:18 Triage for Practices25:47 Favorite Problems to Solve29:32 Starting Hard Conversations35:58 Final Advice and Priorities38:18 How to Connect39:38 Closing and Outro
What if the pain you're told is "just a muscle cramp" is actually a life-altering vascular emergency? In this high-impact episode of The Heart of Innovation, Kym McNicholas sits down with interventional cardiologist Dr. Hady Lichaa and his patient, Camille, to discuss a Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) diagnosis that was almost missed until it was too late. Camille was a mom just trying to walk to her car after her son's baseball game, but the claudication pain was so severe it brought her to tears. Despite visiting the Emergency Room twice, she was sent home with muscle relaxers while her leg was actively dying. In this episode, we unpack: The ER Red Flags: Why leg pain is often misdiagnosed as muscle cramps or venous clots. Arterial vs. Venous: The critical question a Nurse Practitioner asked that saved Camille's leg. The Reality of Bypass Surgery: The complex journey of multiple surgeries and complications. Smoking & Vascular Health: The honest truth about the role of smoking and the "Aha!" moment that led Camille to quit for good. Limb Salvage: How to find the right specialist when you are weeks away from an amputation. This is more than a patient story; it's a manual for self-advocacy. If you have leg cramping while walking, heavy legs, or non-healing wounds, do not wait. RECLAIM YOUR HEALTH:

In this episode, we talk about:—Why women are more likely than men to die from a Stroke.

And how one-fourth of all Stroke victims have to be taught to speak again.—The Vitamin D connection that Dr. Prather theorizes is partially behind the higher Stroke rates for Black and Hispanic populations. —The three different categories of Stroke: thrombotic, embolic, and hemorrhagic.

And why Birth Control pills and Hormone Replacement Therapy increase the risk of a Stroke. —The heartbreaking story of a patient who thought he was healthy because he was a Triathlete and ignored Dr. Prather's warning that he would have a Stroke soon.—How Holistic Integration tests for the underlying causes of a Stroke. And why Dr. Prather says that getting the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic adjustment is important for reducing your chance of a Stroke.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast
Embarking on a health journey can be both enlightening and daunting, particularly when it involves managing a heart condition. Jr Sparrow, a public figure known for his detailed and aesthetic approach to recording his show, offers a candid reflection on his own health challenges. He acknowledges that neglecting his emotional and mental health contributed to his heart issues, compounded by diabetes. This realization has led him to take responsibility for his condition and face the difficult decision of undergoing open-heart surgery. Despite the gravity of his situation, Jr Sparrow is resolute in his determination to live a longer, healthier life, carefully choosing the people he surrounds himself with and valuing genuine intentions and support during this critical period.(00:00:07) Aesthetics in Behind the Scenes Recording(00:02:24) "Personal Reflection: Confronting Heart Health Realities"(00:06:46) Long Wait Times at the Emergency Room(00:09:13) Severe Heart Blockages: A Diabetic's Dilemma(00:12:54) Navigating Relationships with Authentic Boundaries(00:02:28) "I myself got some news that kind of rocked me. It kind of hurt me. It changed my life in ways that I can't describe, I can't even put in place." - A(00:05:59) "I have not been taking care of myself in the best way. I thought that you could just shoot up some insulin and fix yourself here and there." - A(00:09:40) "But once we got to the point where we were doing the stents and got everything set up and going, that's where all the major stuff and all the bad stuff came about. We found out that my heart altogether, and I'm saying like there's atriums or ventricles, there's all kinds of parts of your heart. I have somewhere between seven or eight blockages and we're talking about blockages at the 90% range to 100%. I didn't have nothing at like 50, 60 or 70. So that is an automatic precursor to you're going to have to have open heart surgery, being a diabetic and the issues that go on there." - A(00:16:29) "The story is not going to stop here. It'll keep going." - A(00:19:13) "Be important to yourself, but like the wolf on Twilight, imprint not sexually. Don't imprint sexually. You might get a disease, but imprint on everyone around you. Because you never know what your words, your actions will do for another person." -
