FEBRUARY 28, 2014  .Spygate Exposed: 2025 Reissue Edition – Original 2020 Text, with a Newly Written Foreword Paperback – March 23, 2025  by  Svetlana Lokhova  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Spygate-Exposed-Reissue-Original-Foreword/dp/B0F2MR15ST/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2JSCI8JXCZYLD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8kyOb0XFdRwu6xECf-3VGB4MichvP3hsnZlWuFZvUry5oJYujoIsh4TuRVNAfJBP-Pp4qaoBfXUbR8Z11_6QI1VnrxbJ6r_f8uHE5WejPdvPlzGzxpXMaOvzBUp00mNwoFCyaGvyqa8hbME4hjOKKxlc4FU_ykkjXbiYavHFbyerzW2sbyP7DurhLCA9BakE.M0jyav0jki6T3C7qrVUuImPPb_u1_t3LIzHkel7qkfQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=LOKHOVA&qid=1744509827&sprefix=lokhova%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-1 Spygate is the greatest scandal in modern American history: a plot to topple President Donald J Trump. In this explosive eyewitness account, Cambridge University historian Svetlana Lokhova exposes the “Russia hoax” —and how a devious spy Stefan Halper operating against the Trump presidential campaign ensnared Lt. General Michael T. Flynn. For his efforts, this spy collected massive payouts from the US taxpayer. Halper planted lies, entrapped unsuspecting Trump advisers, and leaked classified information to the media in 2017. Swept up in this fabricated narrative, Lokhova was falsely accused of being Flynn's lover and a Russian intelligence agent—a smear that derailed her academic career. As an eye witness, Lokhova co-operated with Special Counsel John Durham's investigation for years. Now, she reveals the truth behind Spygate, tracing the tangled web of deceit involving President Obama's inner circle, Hillary Clinton's campaign, British intelligence operatives, the CIA, and Christopher Steele and more. Drawing on newly declassified records and findings from the Durham investigation, Lokhova also exposes the media's role in amplifying these falsehoods. Recommended by Rep. Devin Nunes, Maria Bartiromo, John Solomon, Sara A. Carter, and Dan Bongino—and first discussed on The Dennis Prager Show—this new edition features an extensive Foreword packed with fresh revelations about the conspirators and their cover-ups. This is the untold story of Spygate—and Lokhova's long fight for justice. 1840 PEMBROKE COLLEGE

IS DARK MATTER FROM BEFORE THE BIG BANG?  5/8: The Elephant in the Universe: Our Hundred-Year Search for Dark Matter by  Govert Schilling  (Author), Avi Loeb  (Foreword) https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a64379333/dark-matter-older-than-universe/ https://www.amazon.com/Elephant-Universe-Hundred-Year-Search-Matter/dp/0674248996 In The Elephant in the Universe, Govert Schilling explores the fascinating history of the search for dark matter. Evidence for its existence comes from a wealth of astronomical observations. Theories and computer simulations of the evolution of the universe are also suggestive: they can be reconciled with astronomical measurements only if dark matter is a dominant component of nature. Physicists have devised huge, sensitive instruments to search for dark matter, which may be unlike anything else in the cosmos―some unknown elementary particle. Yet so far dark matter has escaped every experiment. Indeed, dark matter is so elusive that some scientists are beginning to suspect there might be something wrong with our theories about gravity or with the current paradigms of cosmology.

Send us a textIn this week's episode, I sit down with the incredibly inspiring Elizabeth Kipp, a woman whose story is nothing short of miraculous. Elizabeth opens up about her battle with chronic pain, her journey through addiction, and the long road to recovery that led her to a place of deep healing and peace.We talk about what it's like to feel dismissed by traditional medicine, how she found real relief through alternative healing practices, and why spirituality—and especially prayer—was a game-changer for her. Elizabeth shares how ancestral trauma and pain can follow us through generations, but also how we can break the cycle with awareness, intention, and support.She gets real about the importance of self-talk, the power of community, and how she ultimately learned to trust her body's ability to heal. And we dig into her powerful book, written from the heart for anyone who has ever felt trapped by chronic pain.If you've ever struggled with physical pain, emotional wounds, or the feeling that doctors just don't get it, this episode is for you. Elizabeth reminds us that healing is possible—and that we're never alone on the journey.Be sure to connect with Conversations with Bizzy! Patreon: http://patreon.com/elizabethchanceFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/conversationswithbizzy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/busylivingsober YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@busylivingsoberwithec X/Twitter: https://x.com/BusyLivingSober Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/elizabethlchance/busy-living-sober/     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethchance/ Sign up for email updates: http://eepurl.com/iDtRnw  To reach Elizabeth Kipp and a special gift from Elizabeth She is the international best-selling author of “The Way Through Chronic Pain: Tools to Reclaim Your Healing Power.”Website https://Elizabeth-Kipp.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethKippStressManagement/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lizi.kipp/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethkipp/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethkipp9855Here is a Free Gift:Free Download Book Chapter of The Way Through Chronic Pain: Tools to Reclaim Your Healing PowerFree Download of Preface, Foreword, Introduction, and Chapter One of the book “The Way Through Chronic Pain: Tools to Reclaim Your Healing Power.”https://elizabethkippcom.simplero.com/page/132869Remember you can reach out to me at elizabeth@elizabethchance.com with story ideas and if you want to come on my show. Thanks for listening! Love, Bizzy

Over the years, Abe Partridge and Ferrill Gibbs have maintained a steady appetite for hunting the songs of the serpent handling people.New information – courtesy of a serpent handling preacher from Gray, Kentucky – diverted the fellows to an interesting trail.Abe Partridge, songwriting artist turned prolific documentarian; and Ferrill Gibbs, Murrow Award-winning podcast producer, peel back the "big stinking onion" to see what lies beneath. Meanwhile, imprisoned serpent handling believer Glenn Summerford still serves a 99 year sentence. Any day now, a fresh parole hearing comes.Abe and Ferrill's journey began in 2020, with a podcast called Alabama Astronaut. (To start at the beginning, go there.) In 2024, they released a memoir of serpent handling believer Cody Coots, Marked for Life. It's a deep dive podcast into the mind of one serpent handling believer.Music by Kenosha Kid. Special thanks to freelance journalist Beth Braden.

Our guest in this must-hear radio interview describes how hundreds of thousands of military age men from China and Russia, as well as Arab nations, have crossed our borders under Joe Biden's invitation. They are getting ready to strike us from within at the command of Putin, Xi Jinping, or Muslim terrorist leaders. And we have no domestic army capable of hunting them down or responding to their orchestrated attacks when they begin, especially if their domestic attacks are timed with open warfare abroad. America now lives under the threat of highly organized internal armies forming in our midst, as well as scattered terrorist groups.   This situation has arisen during the last four years under Joe Biden. In 2023, we began hearing about young Chinese men crossing the border in large numbers, dressed and acting as a group, and we suspected it had to be a secret army. But we did not fully face the implications, even when expert Gordon Chang warned in July 2023, “There is now a Chinese invasion of the U.S. homeland.” [1]   Then came this stirring, world-shaking interview with former U.S. Border Agent J.J. Carrell, who has just released his new book, Treason: The Biden Administration's Strategic Destruction of America's Sovereignty. I was proud to write the Foreword, where I describe freedom colleague J.J. Carrell as “A Warrior in the Battle of All Times.” Now, this radio interview with him has further convinced Ginger and me that it is time to face up to the enormous threat of these invasions.   How many of you saw Border Czar Tom Homan's presentation at CPAC's annual conservative conference on February 22, 2025?[2] I have seen many videos of Tom, but I was struck this time by how frustrated and angry he seemed, using expletives and making threats to catch every illegal immigrant that seemed somehow too threatening. It made me think that something was standing in his way and hugely frustrating him, which our guest J.J. concurred with. Homan, J.J. observed, was fighting limited skirmishes when a massive military offensive against the invaders was required. He is very vivid about this in our interview with him.   Ginger suddenly put it into perspective, declaring in words to the effect that we were facing an army to fight a war within our borders—and that connected the dots for me. We have always had groups of people who have wanted to destroy freedom-loving America, including Russia, Communist China, and various Muslim terrorist groups sponsored by Iran. But Biden had opened our borders and let them inside America in enormous numbers, even supporting them while helping them to disperse throughout America with the help of NGOs supported by the government.   America's core of freedom-loving people, and the fragmented people with similar values throughout the world, must face this threat. We are not the only nation that has been surreptitiously invaded in recent years by our globalist governments. We have to get real about all this. In his book Treason, J.J. declares:   We have invited the world's criminals into our nation. We have allowed foreign nations to dump their worst into America. We have a standing army of millions of thugs, rapists, murderers, drug dealers, pedophiles, and violent gangs that are allowed to roam our country unimpeded. I don't want anyone to read over what I just wrote, so I want to reiterate it again – there are millions of illegal alien criminals in our country.” [p. 107]   “The total number of Chinese nationals that have entered our nation in the last four years is approximately 200,000! [p. 123]   With tens of thousands of PLA soldiers inside our walls, what will it look like when they are activated?” [P. 126]   Transform your thinking about the war coming at us from within by listening to this interview with J.J. Carrell and buying his book, Treason, now available.   [1] GORDON CHANG: Chinese Agents Are Slipping Across Biden's Broken Southern Border | The Daily Caller   [2] CPAC 2025: Tom Homan – FULL SPEECH     ______   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?

https://carolorsborn.com/ Inspiring Readings for Spiritual Seekers Growing Older, Wiser, and Fiercer Many of us navigating the years beyond midlife report high self-acceptance, freedom, and joy. However, there can also be bouts of second-guessing and regret and the occasional longing to be reminded that you're not in this alone. Walking readers through the most uplifting, passionate, as well as dangerous passages on the path of aging consciously, Carol Orsborn, Ph.D., presents inspired guidance to show you the way forward through every conceivable mood, opportunity, and stumbling block that may arise on the journey through the second half of life. Designed to be read weekly in two-year cycles, the 120 timeless readings in this book focus on the issues and concerns that arise among those who view aging as a path to spiritual culmination. From transforming loneliness to solitude, loss of identity to freedom, anger to self-protection, fear to faith, and envy to love, Orsborn's wise and compassionate insights are seasoned by quotes and stories by and about mystics, sages, and old souls from ancient through contemporary times who illuminate the path to living a full life while embracing old age. The connecting thread is the reminder that you have what it takes to shift from reacting with fear to the challenges of aging to accept them in a spirit of gratitude instead, as they help you grow not just old but whole. At once unflinching and triumphant, the readings are both archetypal and personal, reminding readers of how far they've come and that, regardless of their circumstances, aging can be a life stage with spiritual meaning and purpose of its own. About the Author: Carol Orsborn, Ph.D., is a leader in the conscious aging movement and editor-in-chief of Fierce with Age: The Digest of Boomer Wisdom, Inspiration, and Spirituality.

Who has never heard or told these myths and legends? Passionate love, love that fascinates or scares, love that heals or, on the contrary, kills.Since the world was created, the same stories have been passed on from parent to child, through education, culture or religion.

In this teaching Shunyamurti is reading from The Vajra Essence, Düdjom Lingpa's Visions of The Great Perfection, Volume 3, Foreword by Sogyal Rinpoche, Translated by B. Alan Wallace, Edited by Dion Blundell Description: The final period of every cycle of time is one of spiritual exhaustion, the soul's exile from the Light of God, the ego's nihilistic cynicism combined with narcissistic hubris, and the ominous approach of world destruction. We have arrived at that time. Fortunately, every spiritual tradition declares that such a hell realm is actually the most auspicious moment of all, for that is when the Inner Light returns—first only for a few—but then more and more souls become illumined. This is the true Festival of Lights. It is happening.

Consider Joseph's Powerful Reflection on His Love and Divine Purpose. Are You Willing to Accept Unanticipated/Unwanted Roles God Has Prepared for You? MESSAGE SUMMARY: In this powerful reflection on love and divine purpose, we're invited to explore the profound journey of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. As we delve into this narrative, we're reminded of the transformative power of faith and obedience. Joseph's story, rooted in the Gospel of Matthew, showcases how God's plans often unfold in unexpected ways, challenging our preconceptions and inviting us into a deeper trust. The transcription beautifully illustrates the internal struggle Joseph faced, balancing his love for Mary with his sense of duty and the overwhelming responsibility of raising the Son of God. This narrative encourages us to consider how we respond to God's surprising interventions in our own lives. Are we ready, like Joseph, to embrace a calling that may seem daunting or even impossible? As we reflect on Joseph's journey, we're prompted to examine our own willingness to step into roles that God has prepared for us, even when they seem beyond our capabilities. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, God is working His will in my life. (Philippians 2:13). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV) 1) Joseph and Mary's situation: Matthew 1:18-25 - The story of Joseph considering divorcing Mary quietly and the angel's message to him; 2) Jesus as the Son of God and Son of David: Luke 1:32-33 - "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David."; 3) The virgin birth prophecy: Isaiah 7:14 - "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel."; 4) God's guidance through dreams: Matthew 1:20 - "But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream..."; 5) Joseph's role as Jesus' earthly father: Luke 2:41-52 - The story of Jesus in the temple, where Joseph is referred to as His father; 6) The concept of adoption in God's plan: Ephesians 1:5 - "He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will."; 7) Jesus as Emmanuel (God with us): Matthew 1:23 - "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us"); 8) God's overflowing love: 1 John 4:8 - "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."; and 9) The theme of obedience to God's commands: John 14:15 - "If you love me, keep my commands.".

BEACH'S SERMON VIDEO: www.AWFTL.org/watch DONATE TO AWFTL   AWFTL Advent Devotional Schedule A Word From The Lord ministry, with Dr. Foley Beach, has partnered with Poor Bishop Hooper to walk us through the season of Advent using their original music and animated art. 12/01/24 & 12/2/24: In this first episode "Foreword", we begin with God's Creation of the World. However, sin comes into the world necessitating the need for "A Means of Grace and the Hope for Glory", the Christ. 12/4/24 & 12/7/24: In this episode “Hope”, the Holy Spirit's notifies the aging but unbelieving Priest, Zechariah, that his barren wife Elizebeth will give birth to John the Baptizer, who will prepare the way for God's Grace for undeserved Salvation, through birth of His Son. 12/7/24 & 12/8/24: In this episode “Peace”, the Virgin Mary is notified by an Angel that God, through the Holy Spirit, will bless her with the birth of The Christ, the promised Mesiah; and He will be named Jesus. 12/11/24 & 12/14/24: In this episode “Joy”, Elizabeth is visited by her cousin, Mary as they share both the joy of their unanticipated pregnancies and the assume blessing of God's favor for them and the World, the Incarnate Jesus 12/15/24 & 12/18/24: The episode, “Love”, depicts the struggles that Joseph is facing from both his love and duty to an, as yet, unmarried but pregnant Mary. Also, Joseph is coming to grips with burden and responsibility of his early-life fatherhood for Jesus, who is Father God, in a human presence, as God's Son. 12/19/24 & 12/21/24 & 12/22/24: The final episode brings it all together in Jesus' genealogy from Adam to The Christ – proving that Advent and Christmas are a great deal more than what the commercialization of Christmas often implies. We end our Advent journey with “The First Born”  - The Christ!

We discuss Bonhoeffer's influence on modern theology, the concept of unconscious Christianity, Bonhoeffer's changing views, and the relevance of his work today. Eleanor shares her journey into Bonhoeffer studies, the challenges of interpreting his work, and her insights into his lesser-known fiction and poetry. The conversation also touches on topics like the theology of the cross, religionless Christianity, and Bonhoeffer's ethical commitments in facing the challenges of his time.

 A rock star, atheist, Marxist, world-class theologian, African missionary, and a Greek Orthodox Bishop all in one lifetime? Hank Hanegraaff is joined by Bishop Themi—a personal hero of his and a beacon of hope and inspiration to millions of Christians around the globe. Bishop Themi earned degrees in theology, languages, and Biblical studies at some of the most prestigious universities in America and became a distinguished scholar—however in the 90s Themi questioned his life's direction. Was he serving Christ best as a top-tier academic? A series of events led him to follow another path, serving the poor in his native Africa. Themi founded the Holy Orthodox Mission in Freetown, Sierra Leone where he has battled Ebola and foes, both earthly and spiritual, to feed, educate and offer the love of Christ to thousands of West African people.opics discussed include: How Bishop Themi's roots as a white man born in Africa formed his nomadic DNA and understanding of not feeling completely welcome (3:15); the impact that the British Invasion and the Beatles had on Bishop Themi becoming a Marxist (9:15); the guru and the cross—Bishop Themi's first steps towards Christianity (19:00); mystical experiences that reveal the reality of Jesus Christ (25:00); how reading the Bible led to Bishop Themi being born again, selling everything and giving it to the poor to follow Christ (29:30); Bishop Themi was a serious academic until he was convicted that he must do missions due to the impact of Mother Teresa (34:00); how Bishop Themi's belief on missions led him to Africa (40:05); the impact of HIV/AIDS on Bishop Themi's first mission in Kenya  (43:15); why Bishop Themi thinks the experience in Sierra Leone with Ebola was worse than HIV/AIDS (45:25); what does it truly mean to live in poverty? (48:30); what is Paradise 4 Kids? (51:25); the methodology of indigenous missions (54:20); the impact of Bishop Themi on the life of Hank Hanegraaff (59:35); what we do with our lives and resources matters for all eternity—we will be judged (1:06:00);  sharing among the poor is not unusual—the poor tend to practice generosity beyond their means (1:10:25); the simple truth is that the more you give the more you will receive (1:12:20); Bishop Themi owns nothing—he has surrendered completely in confidence to God (1:14:20); how can we teach our children how fortunate they are?  (1:16:40); how can people support Bishop Themi's mission? (1:18:40); Christ identified with the suffering and we must follow Christ by imitating Him (1:21:00).  For more information on the life of Bishop Themi, please see the following for your partnering gift, Themi – Apostle To The Hungry with Foreword by Hank Hanegraaff https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-themi-apostle-to-the-hungry-with-foreword-by-hank-hanegraaff/Listen to Hank's podcast and follow Hank off the grid where he is joined by some of the brightest minds discussing topics you care about.
