Podcasts about Ground zero

Recently, President Trump said he would consider using the Insurrection Act if federal courts prevented him from deploying the National Guard to protect federal buildings and conduct law enforcement operations. The comments came a day after a federal judge blocked the president from sending National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, which Trump claims has been taken over by left-wing “domestic terrorists.” Similar to any civil unrest, various attacks occur in isolated areas. It is not some widespread conquest. However, using terms like "insurrection" and "overturning Posse Comitatus" is a sure sign that there is no stopping a war where the enemy is within—and therefore, everyone is a suspect.

The Church worked very hard to suppress the belief that the dead could be resurrected. They only partly succeeded. Why did the church not want the people and the ancestors to have a relationship? Well, not everyone comes back from the dead. It is written that those souls who have not integrated into the afterlife are known as the Revenant - a reanimated corpse (not a ghost), an undead being from European folklore that returns to the mortal world from the dead, often to seek vengeance or settle unfinished business. This is why Purgatory was created by the Roman Catholic church in the 13th century. There was heaven and hell, and a preserve for the aimless Revenant; this "in-between" place naturally became the residence of the dead who were not resting peacefully.

Welcome to the final installment in our offseason "Coaches Series" (episode #58) on the No Conference for Old Men Podcast. Two of the 3 Old Men had the privilege to sit down and chat with top assistant coach Kellen Sampson (UH MBB Head Coach-In-Waiting).  Coach Sampson was generous with his time, sitting down with us for almost an hour to cover a wide range of topics. We delved into his background, his journey as a player at OU, where he played for his dad, and then transitioned into coaching as a graduate assistant at both IU and OU.  Then we discussed his first break as a full-time assistant coach at Stephen F. Austin, moving on to App State, and then finally rejoining his dad's staff at UH, where they've transformed the program side by side.  We bring depth and insight into Kellen's background/perspective that you won't find anywhere else! - No Conference for Old Men is available for free via Spotify / Apple Podcast / SoundCloud & the GoCoogs.com website; we're also available via the Republic of Football Podcast feed from the folks at Dave Campbell's Texas Football as their only basketball-centric offering - Intro / Exit music:  Ground Zero provided by FreeBeats.io - Please follow us on https://gocoogs.com/old-men/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Over the past decade, “griefbots” and deepfake avatars have become commonplace, allowing the bereaved to chat with simulations of their dead loved ones. Virtual reality revives not only the deceased's image, voice, or way of conversing, but a virtual simulation of their physical selves. Now, some researchers believe the technology could also help treat prolonged grief disorder, a diagnosis that has been applied to individuals whose grief severely interferes with their daily life for at least a year. Would this artificial form of psychotherapy eradicate the notion of grief? Is our destiny to become one where we will no longer have emotions organically? Could this be evidence that the digital world is overtaking the spiritual world? Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

Recently, Pope Leo blessed a block of ice at a Climate Change conference held in Italy. The event unfolded against the backdrop of heightened U.S. political polarization around climate issues, with the Pontiff delivering veiled criticism of those who ridicule Global Warming science. Many critics were saying that the ritual was pagan. The Pope was either wittingly or unwittingly performing a ceremony that would open the portal for Ragnarok—a prophecy in Norse mythology about the end of the world, which involves a catastrophic battle featuring both the elemental forces of fire and ice, marking both the death and rebirth of the world. Moreover, the ice blessing episode adds fuel to long-standing tensions between the Vatican and political conservatives who challenge the Church's engagement with contemporary social and ecological issues. The controversy underscores broader debates within American Catholicism about the intersection of faith, ritual, and political advocacy.

As it was in the Garden of Eden, where the serpent changed the biological makeup of God's creation, so it goes again with the Fallen Ones using mad science to create an abomination on Earth. Genomic technologies are driving a vast expansion in digitalized data, from gene sequences and entire genomes that link genes to specific functions and other types of metadata for humans, other animals, plants, and microbes. A prime example includes the development of customized bioweapons. America's adversaries can direct biological attacks, specifically at US livestock and crops, to create a food security crisis. Another way is for the harvesting and pirating of DNA for racial targeting. Humanity is at a crossroads. It has to avoid both biotechnological calamity and the reign of the Antichrist.

At the Gathering of the General's conference today, President Trump said that the plan for troops in the inner cities is all part of the war at home. At the same time, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's pep talk included how he plans to eliminate the "wokeness" of the military. Could this get-together be a precursor to a coming war, especially here at home, where Battlefield America seems to be part of the agenda in the Devil's business model? Meanwhile, traditional religion is declining across the U.S. as church attendance is dropping and Christians are now being attacked. The category of “spiritual but not religious” is expanding, while witchcraft, Theistic Satanism, and occultism grow at unprecedented rates. From a biblical perspective, this appears to be precisely the kind of moral deterioration that precedes Judgment Day.

As we transition into Autumn and the days grow darker, so does the general feeling among Americans, as many people draw parallels to dystopian scenarios and question whether the U.S. is on the brink of civil war. With President Trump ordering the deployment of National Guard troops into cities across the country, we are also witnessing domestic terrorist sedition against targeted civilians and the federal government. The divisions between “red” and “blue” America have deepened to the point where each side now views the other as “perfectly evil.” Democracy serves well for settling ordinary issues, but it struggles to negotiate deeply personal and identity-driven fights. How do we overcome this political and ideological conflict and realize that we are being played by world leaders who delight in our demise?

Many bible scholars know that almost every major event that occurred in the Apocalyptic timeline appears to happen when an angel blows its horn. Perhaps these loud trumpet sounds are signaling major war-like activity -- or a disaster where sirens are heard. Given the seduction of end-times promises of a better world to come, a true dedication to and belief in eschatological narratives can mobilize people like no other ideology, while “justifying” virtually any act to protect, preserve, and accelerate the arrival of paradise — including extreme measures, violence, and even genocide. There's an extraordinary coercive power to this "Last Days" thinking, especially when weaponized as a political tool to influence and manipulate the faithful.

“This is Ground Zero for Agenda 2030 across the Globe. What is here Epitomizes what ALL Farmers are Facing, including the Highest Risk of Mankind's Food Security and Natural Solutions to Heal being Eradicated from God's Creation” Mere hours from the peaceful, 35-yr old multi-generational farm in British Columbia, a CHILD IS REPORTED MISSING and a community responds… Yet instead of mounting area-wide search efforts for the child… An estimated 140 RCMP vehicles, with an estimated 200+ armed RCMP agents, their Helicopters, Surveillance Units, Drones, a Mobile Command Unit including the RCMP Tactical Team (Emergency Response Unit deployed in acts of terrorism) convoyed 3 hours, descending upon Universal Ostrich Farms. What mission is more important than searching for a missing 5yr old boy? What warrants this over investigating and dismantling terrorist networks? Or stopping the flow of deadly fentanyl, drug trafficking or human smugglers?  Even investigating crimes against humanity, or... Hunting down sexual predators? (By their very actions, words and deeds, to these members of the RCMP, it's more important to support a W.H.O. proclamation pushed by Canada's deep state and kill these birds...)  Along a scenic highway inside the Rocky Mountain interior this week, dozens of law enforcement began terrorizing the Grandmother, her daughter Katie Pasitney, and co-owner David Belinski.   The government agents swarmed the farm, locking down airspace and planting themselves firmly on private property setting up to eviscerate 400 healthy ostriches with 230 healthy days of herd immunity.  The antibodies produced by the eggs of these very ostriches have been clinically proven across numerous studies from the USA to Kyoto University in Japan, to prevent or heal humans from various strains of flu, from COVID itself, plus provide a natural diet alternative to Big Pharma's Ozempic...and perhaps might potentially heal cancer.

The Pentagon has ordered an urgent meeting of top U.S. military commanders in the United States, scheduled to take place in Virginia next week. Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth issued the highly unusual and vague directive. Perhaps the briefing is to put a swift end to the warlike paralysis we have been experiencing -- the spinning of our wheels with the Ukraine/Russia war, or the trouble with Israel and Gaza, or even the possibility of a military rule of law overturning Posse Comitatus. We may want to look into whether or not it is a war crime to continue the supply of weapons to Ukraine and Israel. It appears there is no way out of this continuous war in Europe and the continued slaughter in Palestine. Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

We have been seeing organized and targeted attacks on people, schools, and places of law enforcement -- it is obvious there is a political agenda involved. Today, a shooter with a rifle opened fire from a nearby roof onto a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement location in Dallas. The sniper killed two detainees and wounded another before taking his own life. The weaponization of language framed in polarized conflicts effectively runs a battery or energy source for a gain-of-function trial balloon for civil war. This burgeoning and manufactured conflict has given the White House carte blanche in unleashing a full-on surveillance panopticon in the United States.

An increasing number of researchers are surmising that there could be several explanations for strange aerial anomalies other than extraterrestrial visitors. Yesterday, a baffling video started making the rounds on social media, showing Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett casually claim that alien entities are present on Earth and rising out of the ocean. H.P. Lovecraft wrote about living alien creatures, known as the "Deep Ones," that allegedly reside under the sea, believed to be waiting to return. Could many of these legends and stories, dating back millennia, show us that perhaps we also have aliens or entities that are born of the water?

In this conversation, Kevin Kennon, reflects on his experiences surrounding the events of 9/11, particularly his involvement in the Ground Zero viewing platform and the subsequent World Trade Center competition. We discusses the emotional impact of architecture, the importance of community and collaboration in design, and the lessons learned from revitalizing Lower Manhattan. Kennon emphasizes the need for architects to articulate their vision and the role of travel in enhancing one's understanding of the built environment. He concludes with thoughts on the future of architecture and the importance of fostering a sense of hope and connection through design.Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinkennonarchitect/https://www.kdcaia.com/Chapters00:00 Ground Zero: A Catalyst for Change07:47 The Power of Architecture in Crisis15:05 Collaboration and Competition: Redesigning the World Trade Center23:55 Revitalization: Lessons from Lower Manhattan31:10 The Future of Architecture: Optimism and Collaboration

There are clear indications that AI is making us stupid. We no longer internalize data and detail; we delegate it. We quote things from media outlets and so-called "truthers" as if it is gospel when much of their questionable expertise comes from the internet and ChatGPT. Humans are meant to have purpose and are one of the only animals on Earth with forward thinking. The question is, how can we change the future if we stop thinking? The real danger isn't that AI will become smarter than us. It's that we'll become dumber because of it. Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

Recently, a young man from Panama allegedly saw a fireball come down from the sky. It broke up into fragments, and so he set out to find one of the pieces. He put it on the counter in his home, and the next day he woke up to find that the rock had something growing out of it. His discovery has gone viral on TikTok with videos showing what the local man insists is a meteorite harboring alien life. While some viewers see the possibility of a groundbreaking discovery, others dismiss it as a clever hoax or a simple case of misidentified natural phenomena. The mystery has sparked larger debates about the fine line between discovery and digital illusion. In recent years, social media has seen multiple viral stories of alleged extraterrestrial evidence from UFO sightings to supposed alien life-forms. Are sci-fi movies and TV shows making us more aware of this possibility? Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

Soon, you will experience a technological barrier between you and your money -- a barrier between you and your ability to buy food, or pay for utilities or rent. You will realize how challenging it is to adapt to a new financial surveillance program that tracks your every move when it comes to making and spending money. The Stablecoin is actually the Trojan Horse of the tokenized monetary system and is being organized against the people. As the new money works its way through the economy, prices increase, so those who are at the “back of the line” will pay the higher prices but will not see the same increase in their own incomes.

We have now borne witness to a series of events that have triggered an avalanche of problems, which are contributing to what can be deemed as a destabilization process. Streaming murders, open-air executions, political violence, and a lack of empathy are now part of the recent distorted values of America. The mass emotional charge that's been unleashed will absolutely be used by vested interests to advance ideas and 'solutions' not aligned with the interests of the great majority of people. Divisive politics have created a crack in the union that cannot be united. Each side believes the other wants to dictate how they must live, and therefore, each side believes that the other is a danger to democracy. The unified culture that was once the United States has vanished as extreme beliefs on both sides cannot coexist. Civil unrest has turned into a looming civil war.

Within conspiratorial history, the number 33 appears to hold mystical significance, largely due to its connections with Freemasonry. There are now many conspiracy researchers who have been digging into the 33 coincidences, comparing Charlie Kirk's assassination to John F. Kennedy's and how the number 33 and secret society coincidences have been revealed. In the manuscript ‘King Kill 33′ by James Shelby Downard and Michael A. Hoffman II, a ‘King Kill' ritual took place in Dallas, Texas, when President Kennedy was shot, and his death was televised for all of the world to see. It was similar to the crucifixion of Christ as an entire nation watched; he was labeled a martyr, the prince of Camelot, a Christ-like figure whose assailant died later, similar to Judas. The shadow government, or cryptocracy, uses many tools of psychological warfare to set the mood for the Revelation of the Method. To ignore the esoteric connections to historical events is myopic in nature. We must accept that some mysterious beliefs and myths shape our lives and those of the elite.

9/15/25: SILICON 666 Beginning today, September 15, tech billionaires are openly planning the Luciferian World State — and they think you are too stupid to notice. Peter Thiel, the billionaire puppet master behind PayPal, Palantir's surveillance empire, and Facebook's early rise, is hosting a private, four-part lecture series at San Francisco's Commonwealth Club. The topic is not about "AI ethics." Not "technological disruption." Not "digital transformation." No, the lecture series will be about the Antichrist. And guess what - he's not warning about it. He's teaching Silicon Valley's elite how to recognize it, analyze it, and work with it. These new Silicon Valley companies are making inroads into creating a system that will only allow you to buy, sell, or conduct transactions if you have a unique identifier, similar to the mark of the beast, embedded in your hand—or in your forehead.

“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8 Anyone who is old enough has memories of where we were when our world changed forever when the Al Qaeda terror attacks happened on Sept 11, 2001. I am commemorating the anniversary of 9/11 by speaking with Jenny's guest, Darin Kinder, a U.S. Secret Service agent was inside the World Trade Center in New York City preparing to go into a meeting when the twin towers were hit by two hijacked jetliners as debris from the plane, chunks of the building, and burning jet fuel rained down.  Amid the chaos and destruction, Darin felt God speak to him, assuring him that he was not alone.  In the midst of this harrowing event, he and some co-workers led others to safety. This traumatic experience would change his life — and set him on a mission to discover God's purpose can come out of pain. He earned the U.S. Secret Service's highest award for bravery - the Medal of Valor for his heroism that day. He's a Speaker & the Author of “Bury Me In A Dirty Suit,”  a compelling eyewitness account of 911 and explores what it means to live with a valiant purpose.  He's the founder of Fierce Faith, a Christian organization that encourages men to live purposefully serving God.  His book is dedicated to the 422 first responders who died in the line of duty responding to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001. Find more at: darinkinder.com and fierce-faith.com 

We've encountered several traumatic events involving acts of murder against the innocent during the past three weeks. It's as if a mass ritual sacrifice is taking place, resulting in many people being overcome with fear and despair. There is an existential threat that has entered into the zeitgeist -- something that well defines what can be called a Demon Haunted World. It's all part of an evil stratagem, bleak and brutal, used to create shock and awe -- enough to demand that we be subjected to police state rule.

Another act of American violence now swirls in the midst of all our other political storms as free speech activist, Charlie Kirk, was killed by an assassin's bullet yesterday at Utah Valley University. The video clip was quite graphic, and many people were shocked. What is most disturbing are the several left-wing spokespeople, social media influencers, and sadistic onlookers celebrating his death. Has society become so desensitized and degraded that we can no longer have civil discourse about important topics? Rhetorical violence preys on our political discontent the same way it once manipulated good men at a lynching. This is the same bridge we are crossing, but with ideologies that include destruction, brutality, and murder.

Yesterday's Congressional Alien Meet on UAPs was titled “Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection.” The difference between this meeting and many others like it was that witnesses provided firsthand accounts of what was going on, rather than repeating secondhand accounts. There was also discussion outside the meeting about 3I/ATLAS and how new reports are coming in about its erratic behavior. Some surmise there's a sinister connection between UFOs, major disasters, and wars. With increased civil unrest in the U.S. and Europe on the brink of war, and the UFO hearings underway, could this be a coincidence?

If you've listened to this show over the years, chances are that you've heard our guest. If you haven't, get ready for a solid dose of the straight up good stuff. Rob Serra (@SerraRob) is back for the annual 9/11 episode and this one hits hard. Host and founder Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) was there at Ground Zero on 9/11. So was Rob. It was famously his first day on the job. Yes, you read that right, his first day as a New York City firefighter was Tuesday, September 11th, 2001.  They didn't meet then, but they were both there and it's played a massive role in their lives and indeed in the lives of every American. If you weren't alive then, it's hard to explain how much the world has changed as a result (more on that in the podcast). But they were there. In the middle of all of the destruction. And listening to them discuss what happened then and what has happened since can teach us all about what it means to be an American— the good and the bad. And as the country experiences the staggering effects of more political violence, and seems more divided than ever, this is a conversation everyone needs to listen to and absorb. It's a gut-check on a nation grappling with its past and its future. It's a raw, authentic conversation about service, sacrifice, and the enduring fight for those who ran toward the fire and the driving call behind why we must always stay vigilant. Every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) breaks down the most important news stories–and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

A Brave New World has arrived. Chinese scientists have unveiled the world's first humanoid robot designed for pregnancy, complete with an artificial womb inside its body. Although the story was deemed a hoax, experiments are going on worldwide in the field of Ectogenesis - the technology to support human fetuses by providing a liquid environment that mimics the mother's uterus. These are the blockchain babies that will replace the diminishing workforce and be tagged with secure genomic information, protected against the corruption of DNA data stored in the cloud. We need to define or create boundaries about the transhuman conversion, as it looks as if the altering of humankind will desecrate that very bloodline we have to the divine.

What happens when you mix grief, comedy, and a brutally honest take on life's hardest moments? You get John Kenney's new book, I See You've Called in Dead. In this episode, I (i.e., me–Paul–the host) sit down with John Kenney—award-winning author and longtime New Yorker contributor—for a candid and sometimes very funny conversation about writing, death, and living imperfectly, a topic we all know something about. I first learned of John 20 years ago when someone gave me a copy of his book Truth in Advertising and said, “this author is smart, wicked funny, and a little dark - you'll love it.” I did. So I was thrilled to get the chance to talk to him about the new book and to hear a first-hand account of his journey from Ogilvy & Mather copywriter to getting published in the New Yorker and eventually becoming an award-winning novelist. One of six boys in a big Irish family, John dedicates the book to his late brother, a firefighter who died of pancreatic cancer, potentially related to his work at Ground Zero, starting the afternoon of 9/11/01. I just re-listened to this conversation, and I am grateful to John for being so open about his career, his family, and his admiration for the father who became a widower far too soon. I hope you enjoy it as much as i did. . Learn more about John: https://www.instagram.com/johnkenneywriter/?hl=enFollow Paul: https://words.paulollinger.com/

What if 3I/Atlas, Oumuamua, and Borisove are more than just speculated alien crafts? Could they be biological vessels that seed space with nutrients and building blocks that survive space travel and plant themselves on other planets? It would make our solar system an interstellar nursery, and of course, Non Human Intelligence could be responsible for our existence and possibly other extraterrestrial life forms that may exist in the cosmos. Someone or something is planting seeds, and there are more apples of knowledge to be offered to those who seek out the stars and the signs of what the future holds. Perhaps the aliens that we are looking for are right here on Earth. Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

China is now on the verge of dominating space and will actually take possession of the Moon before the United States' Artemis program, which is experiencing ongoing delays. And while countries are vying for space supremacy, people all over the planet have been witnessing an increase in anomalous rockets, UFOs, and what appear to be black-budget aircraft carrying out high-altitude maneuvers. It is obvious that world powers are deeply concerned about space as a potential war domain, but it is also possible that a secret space program is already laying the groundwork for a more deadly and precise Star Wars program.

Newly declassified CIA documents reveal a covert program that tested the behavioral and toxicological effects of drugs and chemicals on humans and animals. The project, known as MKOFTEN, ran from the late 1960s into the early 1970s at testing facilities, including military bases, hospitals and prisons. According to some accounts, the CIA also explored black magic as part of MKOFTEN. The agency reportedly enlisted various occult practitioners, including witches, clairvoyants, and palm readers, to aid in their research into manipulating the inner workings of the mind. These are the modern tools of psychological warfare and Satanic mind control programming. Is it still being utilized today?

The shooting that took place at a Catholic school in Minnesota last week is a continuation of the normalized mass violence that has become part of American culture. The fact that the alleged shooter was "trans" made it a more complicated issue, as hateful bias tends to obscure stories such as these. Like many major traumatic events, there appears to be a numerological calling card, which in this case is "23." 23 is that magical, discordant number that has intense occult power attached to it. The number 23 appears with unusual frequency in significant events where the trickster or confidence demon decides to show his handiwork. Why do we see a plethora of unfolding synchronicities when occurrences such as these manifest within the zeitgeist?
