On this episode, we call up some friends to find out which sex does the most gaslighting and has less accountability.

Peace, Inc. — Brought to You by the Department of WarAs the language of empire shifts, so does its strategy.In this episode of Boiler Room, we examine the emerging contradiction at the heart of the so-called “new world order”: the quiet move toward renaming the U.S. Department of Defense as the Department of War, while simultaneously promoting global “Boards of Peace,” councils, and stability frameworks meant to manage conflict in an age of permanent war.Is this transparency — or rebranding?From peacekeeping to stabilization, from rules-based order to managed decline, we break down how war is no longer hidden, but normalized — and how peace itself is being repackaged as a bureaucratic product, granted conditionally and enforced selectively.This isn't about ending war.It's about standardizing it.Tonight's discussion includes:• The end of “defense” as a euphemism• Peace as governance, not resolution• Boards, councils, and the rise of managerial empire• Pax Americana 2.0 in a multipolar world• Language, power, and the normalization of permanent conflictHost:Bryan McClain (Hesher)Guests:Adam Clark (Ruckus)Mystical PharaohBazed-Lit AnalyzerWebsite: https://alternatecurrentradio.comSupport: https://alternatecurrentradio.com/support/Merch: https://alternate-current-radio.creator-spring.com/

Good Morning Liberty breaks down Trump's Davos/W.E.F. moment, the "quiet part out loud" politics, Congress' latest spending tricks, and why immigration arguments keep turning into excuses for bigger government. We also cover Thomas Massie's attack ad drama, Turning Point-style "fund ICE at any cost" logic, and the uncomfortable libertarian reality: the welfare state is the root problem, and mass deportation has no clean moral path under the system we've built. Then we revisit COVID-era gaslighting, natural immunity, and the Paul Offit admissions that make "we didn't know" sound like a cover story.

What lies behind Romance Fraud? Romance fraud is one of the fastest-growing forms of fraud worldwide, and one of the most emotionally devastating. It's also one of the most misunderstood.On this episode, I'm speaking to Becky Holmes, author of the bestselling book Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love With You. Becky didn't become interested in romance fraud through victimhood or research. She stumbled into it during the pandemic after being approached by scammers online — and instead of ignoring them, she decided to wind them up. What began as a joke — sending absurd messages, inventing ridiculous scenarios, and pushing scam scripts to breaking point — turned into something much more serious. Through humour, Becky uncovered the psychological mechanics of romance fraud: how trust is built, how isolation and gaslighting work, and why believing you're “too smart to fall for it” is often the most dangerous belief of all.In this conversation, we explore why laughing at scammers is not the same as blaming victims, why romance fraud closely mirrors patterns seen in abusive relationships, and why shame — not stupidity — keeps people trapped. We also talk about humour as a gateway to learning, the limits of victim-focused storytelling, and the uncomfortable truth that none of us are immune. This is a funny conversation in places. And then it isn't. This is not the first time the Human Risk Podcast has explored romance fraud. On a previous episode, I spoke with Anna Rowe, a victim of romance fraud, about the profound emotional and psychological impact of being deceived by someone you believed you loved.In this episode, we discuss:Why romance fraud is a psychological scam, not a technical oneHow humour can expose manipulation without mocking victimsThe striking parallels between romance fraud and abusive relationshipsIsolation, gaslighting, and shame as tools of controlWhy “it would never happen to me” is such a dangerous beliefThe role of AI, deepfakes, and evolving scam tacticsWhy fraud literacy matters — and why people don't seek it out until it's too lateThe emotional cost of online exposure and harassmentWhat institutions, platforms, and society still get wrong about fraudGuest ProfileBecky Holmes is an author, speaker, and writer specialising in fraud, online manipulation, and digital harm. Her first book, Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love With You, explores the world of romance fraud through humour, storytelling, and lived experience.Her second book, The Future of Fraud, examines how scams are evolving in a world shaped by AI and digital identity. Links and resourcesBecky's first book Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love With You - https://share.google/fKQ6qCL1l8Ygl1ey2The Future of Fraud her second (out April 2026) - https://share.google/fKQ6qCL1l8Ygl1ey2Becky on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckyholmeshatesspinach/Becky on Instagram: Becky Holmes (@deathtospinach)Becky on Twitter/X: https://x.com/deathtospinach?Becky's book agent profile: https://www.curtisbrown.co.uk/client/becky-holmesPrevious Human Risk Podcast episode with Anna Rowe on being a victim of romance fraud: https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/anna-rowe-on-romance-scams/AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – Why romance fraud mattersChristian explains why the podcast is returning to romance fraud, linking this episode to an earlier conversation with victim Anna Rowe (linked in the show notes).02:00 – How Becky Holmes got into romance fraudBecky describes how being approached by scammers during lockdown — and deciding to wind them up — accidentally turned into deep expertise.05:00 – When jokes expose the scriptAbsurd replies, fake crime scenes, and the moment Becky realised scammers weren't reading messages, just following scripts.09:00 – Laughing at scammers, not victimsWhy humour can highlight manipulation without blaming those who fall victim — and how the book shifts from comedy to something much darker.14:00 – Romance fraud as psychological abuseThe parallels with abusive relationships: isolation, gaslighting, shame, and why people stay, return, or fall again.21:00 – “It would never happen to me”Why believing you're too smart to fall for romance fraud is often the biggest risk of all.28:00 – What the media gets wrongVictim-focused storytelling, ignored systems, and why AI, deepfakes, and scam scripts matter more than headlines.36:00 – Fraud literacy and preventionWhy people don't seek out information about fraud until it's too late — and how humour can be a gateway to awareness.45:00 – The personal cost of online exposureOnline harassment, cyberflashing, and the emotional toll of spending years inside the systems you're critiquing.55:00 – What's next for BeckyUpcoming books, speaking work, and where to find her online.

What happens when you walk away from a high-profile, Emmy-winning career and decide to tell the truth—your truth—for the first time?In this powerful episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Jamie Tompkins, a former Fox 13 Seattle news anchor turned truth-teller, survivor, and soon-to-be podcast host of Respectfully. Known for her poise in front of the camera, Jamie opens up about what was really happening behind the scenes: from the polished lights of broadcast journalism to the shadows of sexual harassment, burnout, and betrayal within a police department she once believed in.Jamie's story is more than a career pivot—it's a deep, unfiltered look at identity, trauma, strength, and what it really takes to reclaim your voice in a world that constantly tries to mute it.In this episode, we explore:Jamie's rise through the ranks of broadcast journalism and her decade-long career with Fox 13 SeattleThe intense public scrutiny and coded “feedback” women often face in the media industryHow being from New Jersey gave her the grit to push back against workplace culture that tried to flatten her personalityHer transition from the newsroom to working with the Seattle Police Department as Chief of Staff—and how that journey quickly unraveledThis is not just another career story. It's about:Toxic work environments and how they're often disguised as “opportunity”Gaslighting, sexual harassment, and how even in positions of power, women are forced to fight twice as hard to be taken seriouslyLeaving behind a life that looked glamorous on the outside but was quietly destroying her from withinCreative rebirth and why podcasting—on her own terms—was the outlet she didn't know she neededJamie shares the uncomfortable but necessary truth about why she walked away from it all, how she's healing through honesty, and what her upcoming podcast Respectfully will stand for. She reflects on therapy, fitness, family, and the radical act of saying no more—no more performance, no more compliance, no more pretending.What's especially striking is her clarity. Jamie doesn't speak in platitudes—she speaks from the grit of lived experience. She's unafraid to name names, call out hypocrisy, and discuss the ripple effect of trauma in professional and personal relationships. But this episode is not about bitterness. It's about freedom.Highlights include:Her early roots in musical theatre and how a chance opportunity turned into a decades-long careerHer surprising detour into police department leadership—and what she didn't see comingThe emotional toll of workplace harassment and the strength it took to walk awayFinding joy again in things like music, dogs, family holidays, and quiet momentsWhy going to the gym isn't just physical—it's mental survivalWhether you're a creative, a professional navigating burnout, or someone recovering from toxic environments, this episode will hit home. It's raw, it's real, and it's a reminder that sometimes, your second act is your best one yet.Want more from this episode?

House Speaker Mike Johnson's response to growing ICE violence is really something to behold. In one long, rambling answer, he blamed shooting victim Renee Good in every which way, absurdly claiming she'd been “taunting” ICE officers and “impeded” them, while insisting they'd been “very patient.” In another one, he played sleazy little games, claiming the violence represents the “tragic consequences” of ICE facing “too much resistance”—again blaming the victims for violence against them, without a hint of concern about ICE's conduct. We talked to Sarah Posner, author of several good books on the religious right, who is launching a new podcast next week called “Reign of Error.” We discuss Johnson's strain of Christianity, how Trump and MAGA fuse religious and secular authoritarianism, and why some leading Evangelicals are now calling on people to pray—not for the victims of Trump-MAGA violence, but rather for Kristi Noem and ICE.

Episode 4 of Doing Well with Diabetes Season 2 features Kerry Murphy, wife and mother to multiple people with type 1 diabetes and founder of Follow T1Ds, who explains how her long, layered exposure to T1D—from her sister-in-law and husband to her niece and daughter—pushed her from terrified observer to frontline advocate. She describes the collision between modern diabetes tech (CGMs, pumps, data-driven care) and school systems still operating on 1990s protocols, culminating in nurses refusing to follow CGM data during the school day.  After discovering Department of Justice rulings that treating CGM follow as a reasonable ADA accommodation applies nationwide, she built Follow T1Ds around three demands: follow T1D CGMs, follow parent input, and follow federal law. The conversation covers how parents can move from raw fear and frustration to strategic advocacy, why labeling kids “non-compliant” ignores context and equity, and why school nurses are often the only line of real safety for some students. Kerry's long-term aim is systems change so that parents don't have to become de facto lawyers and policy experts just to keep their kids safe at school.

When Renee Goode was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, two completely different stories emerged from the same event. One side called her a domestic terrorist who weaponized her Honda Pilot, while the other saw a mother trying to escape. As a crisis manager from the Twin Cities, I break down the competing narratives from President Trump, JD Vance, Kristi Noem, Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor Jacob Frey to reveal the five hidden cues in any crisis communication: who gets humanized first, how they treat uncertainty, what the process looks like, what they ask you to do with your anger, and what happens to people who disagree. This isn't just political analysis, it's a framework you can apply to workplace drama, family conflict, or any situation where someone's trying to control the narrative. You'll learn why Walz's calm messaging worked after he learned from past mistakes, how Frey's profanity-laced response was strategically brilliant, and why the administration's gaslighting playbook falls apart under scrutiny. Once you learn to spot these patterns, you can't unsee them—in politics or in your personal life.Trigger Warning: This episode discusses a fatal police shooting and contains strong language.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Understanding narcissism. There is hope. Understanding Narcissism Narcissism is a complex and often misunderstood personality trait. At its core, narcissism isn't about confidence. It's about insecurity disguised as entitlement. This term is frequently misunderstood, leading many to misidentify narcissistic traits as mere self-assurance. In reality, narcissism involves a fragile self-identity, protected through control, blame-shifting, and a lack of empathy. Narcissism exists on a spectrum. relationships more effectively. The Intersection of Narcissism and Anxiety Anxiety often accompanies relationships with narcissists. The confusion and manipulation involved in such relationships can exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Gaslighting, love bombing, and emotional manipulation leave individuals questioning their reality and self-worth. They may feel crazy. This cycle leads to heightened stress levels and can deeply impact emotional health. Many individuals with anxiety have histories of tumultuous relationships or dysfunctional family dynamics. Seeking Hope and Transformation Despite the challenges, there is hope. The path to healing involves finding clarity and re-establishing one's identity independently from the narcissist's influence. This journey can lead to freedom and renewed self-worth. Central to this transformation is understanding one's identity in Christ. Understanding one's identity in Christ and the character of God can offer a secure foundation for healing and overcoming abuse. Christian Faith: A Source of Strength Faith plays a pivotal role in finding hope amid challenges involving narcissism. Christian teachings encourage us to seek God's strength and wisdom in navigating difficult relationships. Relying on prayer and scripture provides clarity and peace. Faith assures us that no experience is wasted. God uses every trial to shape and strengthen us. Empowerment Through Understanding Recognizing narcissistic traits is empowering. It sets the stage for setting boundaries and prioritizing one's emotional health. Understanding narcissism equips individuals to address its challenges. This understanding promotes healthier relationships and personal well-being. It also helps people help others going through an experience with narcissism or covert abuse.

Why do so many women leave conversations feeling confused, guilty, or like everything is somehow their fault? In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, we dive into the subtle but corrosive relational patterns that show up in everyday work and home dynamics. The quiet processes that shift responsibility, distort accountability, and erode self-trust over time. We explore: DARVO” a defensive pattern (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) that flips accountability and turns the person raising concerns into the “problem” Gaslighting: not the buzzword, but the researched process that erodes trust in your own perceptions over time, especially in unequal power dynamics Fragile accountability: when feedback is experienced as attack, reasonable expectations feel persecutory, and responsibility collapses under discomfort Invisible labor: the mental, emotional, and logistical work women disproportionately carry, and how it fuels the “nagging” trap This episode explains why these dynamics feel so disorienting, how they thrive in gendered systems, and what changes when we finally name them clearly. If you've ever wondered: Why you're always apologizing Why accountability conversations go nowhere Why you feel responsible without having real authority This episode offers language, clarity, and release from misplaced guilt. Key takeaway: You're not imagining it. These are known patterns. Naming them doesn't make you difficult, it makes you awake. And clarity is where advancing begins.

The Lean In and McKinsey & Company Women in the Workplace 2025 report claims that, for the first time, women are less likely than men to want a promotion, stating that 80% of women want to be promoted to the next level, compared to 86% of men.  They label this development an “ambition gap”, stating that women are currently less ambitious than men.  This label is wildly inaccurate, deeply offensive, and grossly irresponsible. Calling these findings an “ambition gap” is strategic reframing that places blame back on women, per usual, while letting broken systems (and the power players who uphold them) off the hook.  When powerful institutions confuse correlation with causation and misdiagnose the problem like this, women pay the price. Again. These kinds of reports shape policy, leadership decisions, funding priorities, and how women are talked about at work. This label is not ok.  It is harmful. The report assumes ambition is singular and linear, defined by traditional corporate ascent, and treats women's slower advancement or disengagement as a personal failure instead of a rational response to inequitable systems and poor resource allocation. Most critically, the report ignores caregiving realities entirely.  You cannot meaningfully analyze women's ambition in 2025 without examining care infrastructures - or lack thereof.  Choosing to ignore this is a distortion of reality.  In other words, this is gaslighting.  In this episode, I highlight other voices and data that were conveniently ignored.  This counter data shows us what we already know - women are more ambitious than ever.  Rather than seeking out a deeper understanding of the data, Lean In and McKinsey opted to report dirty diagnostics.  What we know about data analysis is that to get to the real why, you have to dig deeper, think critically, and ask crucial questions of the actual people impacted.  This didn't happen with this reporting. When you actually talk to women, the situation is clear.  We are no longer willing to self-abandon inside systems that refuse to evolve. We know that to get to the reported 80%, we were required to work exponentially harder with fewer resources.  This is proof of our ambition, resilience, and talent, not lack thereof. The headline is not about an ambition gap.  The headline is that women are growing, evolving, and working smarter while institutions largely are not. In reality, what we are seeing is an institutional gap, a patriarchal gap, and a systems gap.  The bottom line is this… If we want to truly understand the evolution of women's ambition, we need to start by examining the systems that punish it.

Riley Gaines is joined by Rob Farquharson from the Texas Attorney General's Office as they break down how the NCAA continues to posture publicly on women's sports while refusing to enforce reality behind the scenes. What began as Gaines vs. the NCAA has now escalated into Texas vs. the NCAA, as lawsuits target organizations that allowed men into women's sports while misleading athletes and the public. Rob explains the legal strategy driving these cases, including the consumer deception argument and a deposition moment where an NCAA representative refused to acknowledge basic biological facts, while Riley highlights the real harm women have suffered as a result - including athletes who were never told the truth about who they were competing against or living with. A clear-eyed conversation about why statements aren't enough anymore, and why Texas is stepping in where the NCAA won't. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Visitmalesurvivor.orgStaying Safe in Youth Law Enforcement Programs:If you or your child is involved in a Police Explorer program – or any youth mentorship run by law enforcement – there are steps you can take to reduce risk and create safer boundaries.Ask direct questions. Who runs the program? What are the policies around texting, ride-alongs, and one-on-one interactions? Are there rules that limit contact between adult officers and minors outside of scheduled events?Insist on transparency. Reputable programs should have clear, written guidelines about communication, supervision, and conduct. Ask to see them.Monitor ride-alongs. Know who your child is riding with, how long they're gone, and what the reporting procedures are.Watch the tech. Officers or advisors should never be Snapchatting, DMing, or texting minors privately. Monitor app usage and discuss healthy boundaries.Get involved. Show up to meetings. Get to know the adults running the program. Your presence as a parent or guardian helps make the space safer for everyone.Keep communication open. Let your child know they can talk to you about anything -- especially if something makes them uncomfortable. Make it clear that they won't be in trouble for speaking up.Getting Help:If you or someone you know has experienced abuse in a Police Explorer or similar youth program, here's what to do:Believe them. If a child or teen discloses abuse, believe what they say. Stay calm, listen, and affirm that it's not their fault. Praise them for coming forward.Report it. If the child is in danger, call 911. Otherwise, contact your local police, sheriff's department, or state child protection agency. If you're concerned local police might have a conflict of interest, contact your state police, state attorney general, or the FBI.Document/preserve everything. Save messages, screenshots, call logs — anything that could help support the report.Seek emotional support: Abuse by a trusted adult is incredibly disorienting. You and/or your child deserve compassionate care from someone trained in trauma -- like a therapist, school counselor, or crisis line advocate.Connect with survivor resources. Many organizations offer specialized support for young people.Consult legal counsel: Some survivors explore civil legal action against individuals or institutions. An attorney familiar with institutional abuse cases can help assess your options.Red Flags: Signs of Grooming or Abuse in Explorer Programs:Abuse by authority figures often begins with grooming -- a gradual, often-subtle process that builds trust before violating it. Here are common warning signs in youth law enforcement programs:“Special” treatment. One teen is singled out for attention, gifts, mentorship, or exclusive opportunities not given to others.Excessive one-on-one contact. Repeated private ride-alongs, late-night messages, or invitations to hang out off-duty.Private communication. The adult uses personal texting apps, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, or other unmonitored channels to talk to a minor.Overstepping/blurring boundaries. Inappropriate compliments, jokes about relationships, or sharing personal details not appropriate for a mentor-mentee dynamic.Isolation. The adult discourages the teen from talking to others about their relationship or makes the teen feel responsible for their secrecy.Gaslighting or guilt. The adult blames the teen for misunderstandings, manipulates their emotions, or makes them feel they'll “ruin someone's life” if they speak out.Physical contact. Touch that's unnecessary, prolonged, or makes the teen uncomfortable -- even if it's framed as casual or accidental. You can learn more about The Good segment and even submit a story of your own by visiting The Good page on our website! Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

One of the most powerful weapons in difficult conversations isn't yelling, insults, or aggression — it's confusion. In this episode, I break down how confusion gets weaponized to avoid accountability, derail clarity, and exhaust you into giving up. You'll learn how to spot when confusion is genuine versus strategic, and exactly what to say to regain control, slow the conversation down, and protect your clarity without escalating the conflict.
