Missouri Highway Patrol Troop C's Dallas Thompson joins Debbie Monterrey and Tom Ackerman with tips if your vehicle becomes stranded in the snow.

First Week.Based on a post by FinalStand, in 13 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. I started out the next morning admiring the boarding on the window to the Principal's second story office. The ground and bushes beneath it were pretty trampled up too. That was a good way to start the day. In homeroom, I was talking to Kaelyne again when Princess Brandy announced her entrance and her 'power' over me.‘Hey Vlad,' she greeted me with sugary sweetness. She was working out ways to get me for the whole 'dog not kissing her mouth' thing.‘Hey Skank,' I grinned at her. Her face froze. Taliyah pulled up short.‘What did you say?' Brandy hissed.‘Skank. Are you hard of hearing?' I mused.‘I'm Darius' girl, asshole. You had better accept that right now.'‘Girl? Sure. I imagine that Darius and seven other guys fucking you in all three holes until you are oozing sperm is your ideal dream date,' I chortled.Having the scope of her depravity openly discussed really pissed her off.‘You are jealous,' she sneered. There was a hint of desperation in her voice. I chuckled.‘That's clearly delusional thinking,' I laughed. ‘You look hot, just not enough for me to want to wash my dick in ten other guys' cum. You act like a skank so that is how I will address you, Skank.'She was infuriated. The start of homeroom ended the matter for the moment. The rest of the day was spent with a hundred slights and pin pricks. Darius' crowd would get in jabs from behind as we walked the halls, or projectiles tossed at us during class. We were fine with that. There was no fighting back. The 'niggers' didn't get it.We were scoping out the faces of our enemies and finding blind spots in the school's security camera system. The truth about what happened to the Principal had also gotten out. Mom had already informed us of the series of events, including the spy camera video she took of the entire proceedings.She'd kept up the 'dunce housewife' act even after he whipped out his cock and forced her to suck it, because he was a 'big Black stud', his words recorded for posterity. Finally, he put his hand down her blouse to give her bountiful bosom a good squeeze while shoving his cock past her loudly protesting lips. That was all the excuse Mom needed. She portrayed the frantic housewife really well. We, her family, knew better.She was hamming it up to allay any criminal charges. His pleas for mercy were ignored. It was hard to make out what he was saying after she bashed out half his teeth with his 'African-American Educator of the Year' award. She'd ruptured his scrotum, stabbed his exposed cock repeatedly with a letter opener and cracked half a dozen vertebrae and a dozen ribs.We were pretty sure she'd broken his arms in multiple places, ground up both his hands and shattered his left wrist. She snapped his right leg in two, all the while screaming 'Don't touch me! Don't touch me!' Her last bit of sadism was to toss him out his second story window. The first try, he bounced back, but we were pretty sure he had a concussion.The second try cracked the safety glass. The third time was the charm and down that rapist rat-bastard fell into a modest sized holly bush (ouch!). Mom completed the act by pretending to sob as she crawled into a corner of the office while she dialed 9-1-1. As she gleefully went over the play-by-play for us once home, we knew she was cool about the entire incident, even the groping and forced blowjob.It was Davis County jurisdiction so they were in charge of the investigation. That didn't stop Kingston from sticking their noses in. The Mayor was all about the Principal being a pillar of the community, a Black leader and a church-going man. Then the School's video evidence came out. The Principle had been so full of himself and his immunity, he recorded his attempted violation of my Mom.Did the Negro community accept the obvious? No. This was a racist White lady, from a racist family, framing a good Black man though how she accomplished that was unclear to most of us and undefined by the Black leadership. They claimed that the Principal had yet to give his side of the story. That would take a while. The man had lost most of his teeth and had his jaw wired shut.Both eardrums were ruptured and he could barely see out of his right eye. His left was swollen shut. His nose was pancaked. There was even a rumor that his penis was so badly mauled they had to cut most of it off (which turned out to be true). Big Bob, some deputies (all White) and some Highway Patrol (both colors) raided the Principal's house and found a stockpile of tapes and DVDs depicting previous sexual encounters at school going back almost two decades.Apparently that was nothing more than extra proof of the hateful, bigoted White man framing a decent, hard-working Black man. That any group could be so blinded by their own bigotry that they would embrace such a blatant fiction was appalling to me. At school, the Blacks were indignant and the Whites kept a low profile, as if they'd done something wrong.The one grey cloud in this monsoon of misery was basketball tryouts were on Thursday after school. We picked up consent forms from a furious coach that slathered on the kind of negativity we had come to expect from him and his sick breed. White boys can't jump. White boys can't dunk. White boys can score inside the 'paint'; yep. No racism there (insert maniacal laughter).The Assistant Athletic Director coached the basketball team. He was a short, thin, hyperactive White man and, as we were to learn, a race-hater. He hated White people, or at least White athlete wannabes. More on him later. There were two key developments on my front. First, Alexander informed us he had a side project he couldn't talk about yet.The second thing was that Darius demanded, by way of Brandy, that I took Brandy to an 'after victory' celebration out by the lake Friday night. From 9 p.m. to whenever, I was to sit back and let Brandy be used like a drunk runaway at an outlaw biker rally. Personally, I didn't see how that could be an enjoyable sexual experience.Brandy believed this made her Darius' lady. She certainly embraced the bukkake, sperm baths eagerly. I still chose to ridicule her constantly because I could tell she was having trouble rationalizing her sexual treatment with any style of romance, or affection. She hadn't been honest with me so I was now tormenting her and using her shame to stab at Darius.We could see it in his eyes whenever we mocked his crowd. Darius was plotting out his revenge. His problem was we didn't care what he called us, we didn't care about the teachers he turned against us and we had no spies in our camp, or friends to turn against us. We accepted our social life, for the time being, would be limited to our home.Mom hinted she had a 'plan' in the offing and proved the internet had rendered local belligerence impudent. All our supplies came by parcel delivery from out of town. We wired up a new home security system, engaging a Little Rock private security service instead of putting any faith in the local, Black-run firm. We signed a waiver for the self-install.There were times when we could totally believe that Mom and Uncle Theo were twins. Technically, as the twin born last, Mom was the youngest of the five children. For unspoken reasons, Theo ended up at a military academy for delinquents at fifteen. She only publically saw him three times since then. Once when she broke into his school (and got caught), at his academy graduation and lastly when he finished basic training for the Army.Yet they remained close in ways only multiple birth kids could understand despite the time and distance. It also meant Mom came equipped with (cough) healthy doses of paranoia and vindictiveness. Mom reminded us our battle wasn't limited to the school. We were fighting a secularist religion with a fanatic core.Had Black Americans been fucked over by White America? Yep. That didn't end 150 years ago either. There was Jim Crow legislation after Reconstruction as well as uninvestigated rapes, beatings, whippings, lynching and even being burned alive. All horrors visited on the Black Race by the White Man.Yet it was White men who passed the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Yes they did, but getting Black people to accept that there were White people who stood with them as equals was impossible. Since 1965, had there been Black councilmen/women, mayors, state legislators, governors, Congressmen/women, Supreme Court Justices and, dare we say, a president?Why yes. Where there Blacks in every aspect of professional life? Damn right there were. Where there Black millionaires? Thousands of them, and even an African-American self-made Billionaire. So exactly what were White Americans supposed to feel guilty about? Crap our parents and grandparents did? Great-grandparents?When was the cut-off date for being held accountable for actions you had no part in? There were poor Black people. There were poor White people and poor Latinos for that matter. As far as my Mom was concerned, racism was racism and it had no exceptions for color, creed, and orientation coming, or going.She'd given the Blacks of Kingston their chance to make things right, to end the cycle of hate. They had declined to rein in their own, so she felt no obligation for her, or her sons, to give obedience to their injustice.There was a pile of evidence that the Principal had done wrong, still Kingston treated him like a hero and martyr. Fuck that noise. Mom didn't want to start some wacked-out guerilla war. She only wanted to punish those responsible for this fucked up situation. Target #1, Darius and by default, Darius' family. That, in turn, was Darius' biggest problem.He didn't realize he was hunting people more than capable of hunting the hunters. We knew he and his supporters were coming for our family, they had tons of advantages and little fear of the four of us (we wouldn't involve Dad since he was in law enforcement and a straight arrow). We weren't aiming for a body count. Our goal was humiliation and breaking their wills to resist.With that accomplished, we could install some truly impartial justice and social order. My family was aided in this quest by the clarity of our enemy's weaknesses. They were proud of their Big Black Cocks and their lack of restraint in using them on whomever they pleased. Basing their Black masculinity on a single bit of mythology rendered them painfully vulnerable to us.They hadn't chosen to base their dominion on anything but their cock and balls. Solidarity, economic output and healthy competitiveness had been tossed aside. The Black community in Kingston accepted Black male predation as the natural course of things. It was revenge for the White Master/Black Slave Girl depredations that happened during Slavery. Did they humble White men by fucking their moms, sisters, wives and daughters? Yeah.That disregard for social bonds and femininity meant Black women were under the same dominion, though they lied to themselves about it and the Black men comforted them in that lie. Black Mammas let their boys run around like dogs then were aghast when their husbands did the same thing. Big Black Cocks were eroding the basis for trust in this town.If BBC wanted a woman, he stuck the cock in and that woman became his cock-slave. Had the woman started out resisting? That didn't matter because now they needed that cock to get her through the week. That was the score. The truth Mom laid out was confirmed by a week of school. How were we going to defeat the BBC menace?Mom just smiled and said she had a 'Secret Weapon' to go along with her battle plan. We took that assurance into Thursday's basketball team tryouts. We rocked. We had the talent and the skills. That didn't matter to the Assistant Coach. He had six Black players returning from last year's team.There was one White guy whose Mom was throwing gobs of new equipment the team's way, so he was on board. That left five spots to fill the twelve man roster. Up against us was one ambitious White junior, seven Black juniors and one Black female senior. Apparently she'd been denied a spot on last year's team based on gender alone and was still pissed about it.The Ass Coach immediately set his sights on five of the Black juniors that fit the profile, Black top (that's outdoor courts that used asphalt) experience, tall, lanky and a willingness to dunk on a moment's notice. Our scrimmages were stupid and biased. The Black players could elbow, trip and punch us without repercussions. Mikhail almost got booted for threatening to toss the next blatant fouler into the bleachers.We caught a break when Ass Coach got called away with a phone call which he couldn't understand because his 'chosen ones' wouldn't shut up and even attempt to be quietly considerate. I had an idea to create our own scrimmage team, but I had a problem. The two Black guys and one White guy not getting on the team sucked. I needed two of the other Black players.I chose an alliance. I went to the angry, dispirited female player and made my offer. We would challenge the current team and, if we beat them, we made a pact that all of us made the team, or none of us did. I could see her weighing screwing me over. The whole school knew Darius was gunning for me and my brothers. She shook my hand. We needed a fifth.The girl, Kaja Woodrow, went over to her cousin, one of the players from last year's team. He didn't want to join us. He had a guaranteed spot and he could blow it by joining his crazy female cousin and the three most hated White boys in school. Kaja threatened to bring their grandmother into this mess. I think that threat plus a strong sense of fair play changed his mind.We were good. Shaquille, Kaja's cousin, knew it. Everyone knew it. He was shorter than us, around 5' 10'. His ball-handling skills were phenomenal, he was a fairly accurate shooter and would happily pass the ball if someone was in a better court possession instead of taking a risky shot.Passing the ball was key and not an art form shared by the rest of his current teammates. With Shaquille on our side, we put our proposal before the Ass Coach. He denied us, but we were ready for that. Our team took to physically and verbally mocking and denigrating the manhood of the current roster. They took our bait.After a quick warm-up, we made our move. Everything worked in our favor. High School courts aren't black top. The courts are wider and there is no turning around at mid-court. You added to that our opponents were ball-hogs and suffered from terminal 'dunk-itis'. Mikhail made the 'paint' his bailiwick (bally-wick?).Dunk attempt after dunk attempt were brutally rejected by him. By their logic, my brothers and I would also keep the ball for ourselves. We passed like crazy. This was doubly painful for them because the White boys and Kaja could nail a jump shot from maybe 18 to 20 feet out, no problem. Shaquille would race behind their screen, catch a pass on the leap and dunk unopposed.Our squad was making their squad and the Ass Coach look like idiots. The All-Black squad didn't regroup and create a new plan. No. We were belittling them. First came the fouls. When that wasn't enough to stop us from outscoring them, they brought out on the egregious fouls and still the Ass Coach did nothing.Finally, after the fifteenth time Kaja humiliated the player supposed to be guarding her with a quick feint-step and a basket, he ran her over. He didn't shove her. He threw a powerful shoulder into her chest and followed up by stepping on her stomach. He smiled. His buddies laughed. Mikhail walked over and broke his jaw.Remember, Mikhail was a big, strong, skilled fighter and had a temper. That message hadn't filtered through the mind of the All-Black squad. They rushed him. Their center took a piston kick to the gut (he had pathetic reflexes) and his closest buddy succumbed to a leg sweep. The Ass Coach went apoplectic. Shaquille rallied to Mikhail and Kaja while we went to our gym bags.Out came the two recording devices (it is the freaking Information Age, you morons). Thanks to the internet, we uploaded the files and then we took the damning evidence to Ass Coach. He and most of his team were in deep shit. Their blatant fouls counted as assault in the real world. Mikhail wasn't in trouble. The dumbass who attacked Kaja was standing over the woman he assaulted when my brother intervened.We also promised to show this video to every school on our schedule for the year as well as any and every athletic authority we could think of. Grudgingly he offered we three Samsonovs a place on the roster. We insisted on all five of our squad. He insisted he would never put a girl on the team.I put my arm around his scrawny shoulders and forcefully walked him away for a private chat. I reminded him keeping Kaja off the team solely because she was female was discrimination. My brothers didn't like discrimination. My Mom really didn't like discrimination.Did he want my Mom to come to school and explain to him how much she disliked it? Kaja was on the team. Ass Coach announced the new roster and promptly uplifted our spirits by declaring this season would be a disaster because we had a girl and four White guys on the team. The next day, she and Shaquille received ten kinds of trouble from their racial compatriots.Mikhail gave Kaja a 'First Alert' bracelet and cautioned her to wear it at all times. It was a testimonial to how screwed up this environment was she put it on without question. Shaquille ended up eating lunch with us as well. The razzing was bad enough. The cracks his former friends were making about Kaja made him want to commit violence on their persons.Shaquille found out what comradery was all about as classes let out that first Friday afternoon. Eight big bucks ambushed him as he prepared to walk home, he lived about a mile way. Recall what I said about identifying our tormentors? We figured out who the 'shot-callers' were so when they started texting their plan around, the Samsonovs began taking counter-measures.Darius was the Capo. Since we had a 'home' game tonight, he couldn't attend to this errand personally, nor could his football-playing associates. He had plenty of non-jock lieutenants to command. In turn, those bozos had the rank and file big and average-sized thugs to follow his orders. This wasn't an army. It was a loose vigilante herd.They also were kind enough to joke about their target when they thought we weren't around. We had to keep out of sight until the eight made a move on Shaquille. We hadn't warned our 'buddy' out of concern he might not want to keep his role as bait. We waited for the shoving to end and the desperate grappling to begin before intervening.We had to film them committing their crime to make our crime non-criminal, if you can understand that reasoning. We should have thanked Darius for giving us his eight best 'B-grade' boys to annihilate. Seven of them went down super-quick. The eighth bolted. We couldn't maintain our legal smoke screen if we ran him down.Instead, we settled for stomping the fuck out of the seven we had. Keeping them on their feet was the key. Kicking a man when he's down looks suspect. Shaquille joined in the 'fun'. Our victims pleaded, cursed, threatened and cried like little babies yet we still beat them raw and bloody.Their superior numbers and initiating the conflict pretty much allowed us to do anything we wanted to them, short of murder. Was this a White racist beat-down? You could look at it that way except for the first minute of the video showed eight Black kids surrounding and shoving around another Black kid.Once we vacated the trashing, I leveled with Shaquille about our actions, we had known what was coming his way, used him to give us an excuse to kick ass; and he was pissed with us. After a few minutes, he shook his head, snorted and agreed while we were total bastards, there had been no other way for that encounter to play out that left the four of us in a better position.Those seven guys would be in no shape to bother him or Kaja for a week, or two, and the message of the pummeling those seven went through would reverberate throughout the school.I touched base with Big Bob, who was attending the game, so that Darius and Brandy could see me being a 'good boy' thus foolishly playing my part in their deceptive scheme. That was living proof the worst deceptions was self-deceptions. Come on now, my brothers and I had beat up seven of Darius' flunkies and now they thought I was cowed enough to be led like a calf to the slaughter?(Football Follies)There was only one unexpected event on that nightmare first date. The score of 42-3 made sense. Darius was an epic running-back with all the natural talent and ambition to make the NFL. The rest of the team was pretty good as well and more than enough to manhandle the mixed race team opposing them.The coach running up the score was par for the course as far as unsportsmanlike conduct went. By now, nil human compassion was what we expected from that crowd. They behaved like brutal thugs. The other team was suitably battered, broken and sullen. Every underhanded blow, discourtesy and disrespect our team exhibited reinforced my sense of my brothers' righteousness.A tractor-trailer sized 'Humble Pie' was coming down the pipeline for those assholes and it was so well deserved. 'Our' team even had the gall to molest the other team's cheerleaders before they could exit the arena. A few dust-ups occurred when fathers and boyfriends of the attacked ladies tried to save their womenfolk. Their coach appealed to our coach.Coach's look said it all; 'to the victors go the spoils'. Big Bob's deputies moved in. It took all of five seconds to see whose side the Black deputies were on. They gleefully aided the monsters struggling with the White men whose sole crime was wanting to get their women out with their virtues intact. All of these shenanigans were anticipated by Mom and us.Three members of the defense managed to steal one terrified White cheerleader away from her side of the field. The boyfriend who tried to get to her was held back by a Black deputy. They would have been home-free except for one thing, my Dad's height and instincts. He spotted the trouble and headed those three off. First they blustered. Dad was unfazed.Next they decided two would block Dad while the third dragged the girl away. They didn't know Dad. The second they put hands on him, out came his collapsible baton. He swung it up and into one antagonists' elbow. Trust me, that hurts. Of greater importance, no one saw it coming. Dad got in a blow to the other guy before he knew why the first guy was cursing in pain.Then Dad fell on the third football player. My favorite lawman was finished talking. He shoved a thumb into the bastard's left eye, trust me; that hurts too. I can also assure you it is horribly distracting. Dad corralled the panicked girl and brought her back to her boyfriend, and the deputy who was arresting him. The White boy was freaking out and the Black officer was gloating.I had never been the recipient of what came next, but I'd heard Dad's family talk about it and witnessed it a few times from a distance, like tonight. Dad, as Senior Deputy, asked the 'plain' Deputy to release the boy. The Deputy said something disrespectful to Dad. My Father grabbed the man's right wrist faster than a rattlesnake. I could almost feel those wrist bones grinding painfully together.Dad, like all the men in our family, was big and bulky, not fat. We packed muscle mass upon muscle mass and I knew that Black man wasn't getting his wrist back until Dad decided to release him. Dad leaned in and whispered a few things to the Deputy. The Black man spat back then nearly crumpled over in pain as my Father ratcheted up the pressure, until the crying man acquiesced.The girl and her boyfriend beat their feet out of there. Dad escorted the rebellious Deputy to a quiet corner to have a chat. That shithead immediately went for the racist angle, White cop picking on rambunctious Black youths. Dad replied that if he ever saw anything like what he saw that night again, he wasn't going to report the deputy, he was going to arrest him on the spot for facilitating an attempted sexual assault.The Deputy made one more stab at the racist smear, proving he had never bother to get to know my Father. Dad's comeback was simple. If the deputy called him a racist one more time, he would bring the Black officer up on State and Federal Hate Crime statutes, creating a racial charged work environment.The Fed would be a 'swing and a miss'. It was the 'Blacks can't be racist' bullshit. The State of Arkansas on the other hand; Dad, Big Bob and the White Deputies would gladly grease the wheels of justice. Nik Samsonov had a flawless 23 year record in law enforcement. All of that was of no surprise.Dad had never come out and said there was a racial divide in the Sheriff's office, but it was clear to us that to a man, the Black Deputies kept the Black power structure in town abreast of all the goings on at the county law enforcement level. Until our arrival, the Black elite had their eyes set on litigating themselves into the office of Sheriff.A man of Dad's background and caliber sort of curtailed those hopes and dreams. This was another reason for them to support Darius and his efforts were to make Dad look bad and even shame him into leaving. Fat chance of that happening. No, none of that was surprising to me. What caught me somewhat off-guard was;‘Why do you hate me?' Brandy asked me out of the blue. We were driving to the lake party site when she finally opened up.‘You've never given me a reason to do anything but hate you,' I replied after some thought.‘That's not so,' she protested. My first thought was to laugh in her face.‘Did it ever occur to you I didn't want to be in a relationship with you either? Did it occur to you that you could have been honest about this and I would have understood? Did you consider my feelings at all before you fed me into Darius' world?' I proffered up my questions.‘You wanted to date me,' she rebutted. ‘I saw the way you looked at me on the deck last Sunday.'‘Nope,' I shook my head. ‘I thought you looked 'hot'. I never wanted to date you. Had my mind ever planned to wander that way, your attitude shut that down pretty quick.'Oh really?' she remained confident in her sex appeal. ‘If you behave tonight, I'll give you a blowjob when you drop me off at home. I'm really good.'‘No thanks,' I shrugged. ‘However Darius and his crowd rate your talent at fellatio is not something I consider reliable. If I want a blowjob, I'll get a pro whom I'm sure is disease-free.'‘You are being such a bastard,' she pouted angrily. I didn't care. ‘You are just jealous.'‘And you are little more than three nameless orifices in a gangbang,' I snorted. ‘If that's what floats your boat; good for you. I prefer to date a girl who doesn't need an orgy to feel erotic and desirable. My problem isn't with how you express your sexuality, Brandy.'‘You deceived me and you don't regret it in the slightest. That's my problem with you.'We rode for a while in silence. Brandy couldn't let the matter rest until I acknowledged she was right; and she was the foxy babe I could never have because my melanin levels weren't high enough.‘You wouldn't have understood Darius and me,' she spouted with certainty.‘Why?'‘What? Why what?' she asked.‘Why would you assume I wouldn't understand you wanting to date the star running back?' I explained.‘He's Black,' she stated.‘So? I don't care about Black and White. Hell, I have cousins who are Native Alaskans, that's Indians to you people,' I responded. ‘The few people of color I did know before coming here were my neighbors and nice people.'‘Liar,' she smirked. ‘White men always get upset when strong, Black men take their women.'‘You are not my woman, so there was never anything to take. Until you and Darius decided to fuck with me and my brothers, we didn't care,' I answered.‘We are not your limp-wristed rich boys, or your rednecks. You both exhibited a painful level of prejudice so here we are.'‘Well; you can watch the party but you can't come down,' she tried a different angle. ‘Darius may send you on a beer-run later.'‘That ain't going to happen,' I chortled.‘You had better do what he says,' she threatened. I gave another amused snort. I drove us to the bottom of the parking lot near the lakeshore. Brandy got out, tried to give me a salacious look. I yawned. There were two other pseudo-boyfriends on the scene and a passel of empty cars most likely belonging to the football crowd.I had taken into account that my family's resistance and Dad's actions had earned me some serious retribution in their minds. That was all part of our strategy. I cut off my headlights then backed my car toward the road. I waited for ten seconds then Alexander appeared at the passenger door of the Mustang.‘Hey Vlad,' he teased me. ‘How are things going on your 'date'?'‘As expected,' I chuckled. I put on the emergency brake and popped the trunk. Five minutes later, Alexander had taken Mom's car and split. I was in a dark maroon ski-mask, the same colored hoody and exercise pants (I already had on Black shoes and socks), night vision goggles and video camera with a really excellent audio system that would allow me to negate things like cricket noises.Dark red and maroon were better than black, or grey, in hiding at night. I was virtually invisible in the darkness. After checking the wireless hook-up, I found my pre-scouted spot to watch and record the festivities. Thirty-two Black football players, ten Black girls and seventeen White girls filled the stage.First came the drinking and pawing. Then came the rough-housing and the screams of the few White girls who were only now realizing they weren't on a 'date' in the classic sense. Then came the orgy. For the Black athletes who didn't bring dates, it didn't matter.Every White girl had three holes, take your pick. Beers, whisky, Red Bulls and Viagra where the diet of choice. The last pleas for mercy were smothered so that only the moaning, groaning and the slapping of hands on flesh and flesh on flesh remained.After an hour, two of the White chicks were fucked up emotionally and mentally. Their obvious distress didn't elicited concern from anyone else in that crowd. They had been turned into Big Black Cock-slaves. The football players gleefully took pictures of their victims and partners in various sex acts.Even for the girls who didn't want to participate, this was a license to shame. After the latest rounds of ejaculations, Darius gathered up some of his niggers and sent them to the parking lot; to find me already departed (my car not being there). The two other White boys hadn't a clue where I had gone.That was their misfortune. They were dragged back down to the lake for Darius to interrogate. Their so-called girlfriends taunted them and added to their degradation. Since BBC's are never homosexually-inclined; the team decided to ass-rape those two saps (yeah, right). Did I pity them?A little, but barring retardation, what did they expect the likely outcome of events to be? Now those two could bask in their home-erotic fantasies while convincing themselves they weren't really gay. Darius and crew didn't view White people as human beings, Whites were subhuman, so the Blacks could do anything to them because sub-humans didn't deserve respect, or have rights.I filmed it all and I wasn't alone in my voyeurism. Undoubtedly, this was blackmail for Darius to use in the future. He also decided to up his game in dealing with me. A Black Deputy Sheriff showed up and began calling my name and looking for me, shining his flashlight around.He was pretending to be helpful, encouraging me to come out, so he could take me home. For fifteen minutes I switched my attention between his futile and false efforts and the (non-)rapes going on at the lakeshore camping grounds.The Deputy eventually made his way down to Darius's area. The two chatted a bit, deciding I really had abandoned Brandy, then the cop partook in some of the party favors, ending his sexcapade with Brandy swallowing his load. He even declared it was partial vengeance against Big Bob (the niggahs laughed) and my Dad (since Brandy was theoretically my date).The festivities died down after the second run at an orgy yet Darius was unsatisfied. First came the throwing of all the ladies into the cool lake waters despite their pleading screams. Then they tossed the two devastated White boys in. After some splashing around and some serious begging and pleading through chattering teeth, they let them out of the water so they could dry off on whatever was handy.The wasted girlfriends of the two boys poured their false dates into their cars and drove away to the chorus of slights and general mockery. Darius had Brandy give me a call (actually Alexander) and requested I (he) come pick her up. I (he) said he would be there in forty-five (lie).Darius' trap was simple but effective. He and four of his linemen would be waiting in a sedan parked at the far, upper-hand corner of the parking lot out of sight. Brandy would wait down on one of the bench-tables in the camping ground for me to arrive. Whether I honked my horn, or got out for her, Darius's team planned to roll down on me, block my car and deliver some well-deserved and overly-delayed vengeance.Once again, Darius was behind in the game. We knew his resources and mindset, he believed he could get away with anything, he would always win and he could intimidate anyone he chose to. From my perspective, Alexander hadn't walked the nearly ten miles from school to get here. I secured my gear, put on my helmet, uncovered my motorcycle and rolled it quietly over to Brandy.‘Here,' I surprised her as I stepped out of the darkness to hand her a motorcycle helmet. ‘Put this on.'‘Vlad,' she squeaked. ‘I thought you had left me.' She was also fiddling with her phone.‘If you make that call, I'll leave you here,' I threatened.‘Leave me here and my Daddy will make you pay,' she countered.‘Brandy, try to think for once,' I taunted her. ‘If I didn't leave, what have I been doing all night?' I let that thought sit there, but she wasn't approaching understanding. ‘I filmed this entire party from start to finish. I'm not the one in serious trouble.'Her fingers hesitantly stopped playing with the phone. I pushed the helmet her way again. She set her phone aside to put it on, allowing me to snatch it up. She hadn't called Darius yet. I pocketed the device then cut it off once she could no longer see it.‘Hey, give me that back,' Brandy insisted.‘You didn't call Darius so I'm not going to toss it into the lake,' I informed her.‘I'll return it to you when I drop you off,' I added. That seemed to mollify her, that and the belief I'd be running into Darius soon. No such luck for her. Mom had spent some of her youth around this place and there were several hiking/biking tracks that also led out of the park the lake was situated in.I lied to Brandy, telling her I had to pick up one more thing. That allowed me to push my motorbike far enough away to put a copse of bushes between me and Darius.‘Get on,' I told her as I mounted and started the engine. She hesitated so I started rolling away. I let her jump on and off we went. Brandy held on tight.Some of her death grip was from the dangerous route I was taking to exit this place. I knew part of it was also the combination of fears that she'd disappointed Darius and I would tell, show, her dad what had happened tonight. I was counting on Option A. I wouldn't tell Big Bob the truth until it suited us Samsonovs. What Brandy suffered for her numerous lies wasn't my concern.‘Here we are,' I told her when I stopped in her driveway. She got off, clearly sore and worn out from her duties as a sperm trough. She gave me the helmet back then held out her hand.‘Oh yeah, phone,' I nodded. I hurled it across her yard. ‘You can find it in the morning. After all, I would hate to run across any of your friends on the way home.'‘Bastard,' she snarled. I could see the clever spark in her eyes. ‘I still owe you a blowjob. You held up your end of the bargain.' She would have succeeded in looking incredibly sexy except she'd already leaked fluids and semen from her over-used holes all over the back of my seat and I had the vivid memories of all the guys who had already made her swallow a gallon of cum.‘No thanks,' I shook my head. ‘One of us needs to keep their self-respect and it sure isn't going to be you. Night-night,' and off I went. My call woke up Big Bob. I let him know I'd dropped off his daughter on his doorstep. I didn't want her to find her phone quite yet. 'Us' triplets had already scouted out an overgrown old timber trail I could use to skirt the Sheriff's speed trap and the blind turn in the road the Kingston cops always used.By my estimation, as I walked up my back steps, Darius was just figuring out I'd missed my forty-five minute arrival time and had called Brandy; and received no response because her phone was turned off in a darkened yard. He'd go looking around the camp site on the off chance her phone battery had run out of juice. No Brandy. As planned, I called Mom telling her I was home safe and Darius was probably hideously pissed at the moment.She told me she'd be home in a few minutes. She had a few things she needed to clean up first. It wasn't until later Mom clued us into her part of the plan. Darius' older brother had been a drug conduit in the county and Brandy's dad put him away for seven years. That was why Darius was going after Brandy in such a bad way.Worse for Big Bob, his wife (a taller, more lush, mature model of Brandy) ran off with a Black Senior Sheriff's Deputy, the man Dad replaced. Apparently he'd been porking the old lady behind Bob's back then been caught joking about it. Brandy had been dating Darius and Big Bob had her break it off, so they were sneaking around behind his back as well.If underhanded was how Darius wanted to play it, so be it. The damage had already been dealt by his older brother. Mom got in touch with Uncle Theo. Uncle Theo knew all kinds of disreputable people and not just drug cartel members, mercenaries, arms dealers and other assorted killers. He also knew information brokers.It didn't take too much money, or effort, on Theo's part, to let the DEA know that Darius' Mom was involved in her elder son's illegal enterprise. First, she went through Darius' parent's trash finding containers that could be used to house cocaine that had his mom and dad's fingerprints all over them.Theo would send her some 'contraband' for Mom to place in those containers. Then she'd sneak into the family home and plant/hide the evidence. Then Theo would have some fool in Mexico send her some trinkets, three or four deliveries would do.Then he'd send a few kilos of cocaine that Theo would ‘acquire' and let the DEA swarm in. Mom would also plant evidence to implicate two of Kingston's police officers; to tarnish the whole department in the DEA's eyes. That would lead to a Federal investigation because everyone knew the Black community lied to protect their own.They would be claiming the Black Man couldn't find justice in the White Man's court system. They would blame the 'White Man' and this time they'd be right; and not even know they were right. They always blamed their problems on the White Man. They did lie and discriminate against White people so often that their knee-jerk reaction would ring hollow to anyone who truly mattered.Furthermore, this wasn't the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department who was bending over backwards to undo centuries of judicial failures were Blacks were concerned. It was the DEA and they were a bit more color-blind concerning matters of illegal drugs.They had the pipeline, previous deliveries, drugs arriving in the mail and drugs stashed in their house. Darius' family had a history of doing this very thing. The DEA wasn't go

One state's highway patrol is perhaps the most famous nationwide – and that's California's, a unit that inspired the 1970's cop drama CHiPS.And anyone who's viewed it knows that CHiPS was associated with motorcycles – specifically classic Kawasakis that were common on police forces at the time. Well, today's California Highway Patrol might look a lot different. Carscoops is reporting that the California Highway Patrol is testing an EV – the Lucid Air, to be specific.Download and listen to the audio version below and click here to subscribe to the Today in Manufacturing podcast.

Myers. It was a Category 3 storm and left more than 3 million homes and businesses without power. It also spawned numerous deadly tornadoes. Areas from Tampa Bay over to Daytona Beach got over a foot of rain. Damage included the roof being torn off of Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays. It's bad in many areas, but it could've been much worse. Thankfully, the storm picked up speed, going from 10mph to 16mph which helped it move across the peninsula instead of slowing down or stalling.

Mike Ferguson in the Morning 10-10-24 (8:05am) Mike talks about his recent interview on his syndicated show American Viewpoints with author Judy Shelton on her new book "Good As Gold." Judy is a monetary economist, a Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute, former Chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy, and former U.S. Director of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

It's Monday, October 7th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Muslim employer forces 17-year-old Christian boy to convert The Muslim employers of a 17-year-old Christian who works at their gas company in Pakistan have forcibly converted him to Islam and are holding him in illegal custody, reports MorningStarNews.org. Samina Javed, a brick kiln worker in the Sheikhupura District (in Punjab Province) said her son, Samsoon Javed, began working at a Liquified Petroleum Gas outlet owned by Usman Manzoor in November. Samsoon's father, Falamoon Masih, died in 2018 due to illness, and he is one of four children Javed had from that marriage. She is now married to her second husband with whom she had another son. In July, after he began working at the gas outlet, his family began noticing a change in his behavior. The mother explained, “He began avoiding us and his siblings and didn't speak much when he was at home. We came to know about Samsoon's conversion [to Islam] in September, when he didn't come home from work.” Javed, a member of a local Brethren church, said that they were able to see Samsoon after a few days when his Muslim employer was not present at the shop. She explained, “Samsoon kept silent and avoided eye contact when we asked him about his conversion. It was quite clear that he was scared and under pressure. He told us to leave, saying [his boss] would be angry if he saw us there.” They later learned from contacts that the Manzoor brothers had been taking their son to an Islamic spiritual guide (Pir), where he was pressured to abandon his Christian faith. Acts 16:31 says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.” Please pray that Samina Javed would be able to regain custody of her 17-year-old son Samsoon in Pakistan to enable him the freedom to follow Christ. Biden unsure which storm people have just endured Last Wednesday, President Joe Biden took an aerial tour of the damage from Hurricane Helene with the North Carolina Governor and Asheville Mayor. Flying in his helicopter, known as Marine One, he viewed the visible destruction including buildings that had been flattened, trees knocked down, and houses submerged under water. The next evening, a reporter asked Biden about the impact of Hurricane Helene. Let me play the audio. Because the sound of the plane is so loud in the background, I will repeat what was said. REPORTER: “What do the states in the storm zones need, Mr. President?” PRESIDENT BIDEN: “What?” REPORTER: “What do the states in the storm zone -- what do they need after what you saw today?” BIDEN: “Oh, in the storm zone.” REPORTER: “Yes sir.” BIDEN: “I didn't know which storm you were talking about. They've got everything they need. And they're very happy across the board.” Truth be told, the people hit by Hurricane Helene, especially those in North Carolina, are not very happy across the board. Clearly, Biden is out of touch with reality. DeSantis sent Florida Guard to North Carolina, first help they received Appearing on Fox News with Harris Faulkner, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis explained that after the Florida Guard had completed their Hurricane Helene rescues in Florida, he authorized the military personnel to rescue North Carolinians. DeSANTIS: “I authorized air assets, National Guard, state guard, Highway Patrol, to go into western North Carolina. So, it created this odd circumstance where the first people that they come in contact with is some state guard unit from Florida and not any of the federal assets. I don't think the federal assets were marshaled very quickly at all. “But the lesson that I think people should take from this is one we learned in Florida long ago. We don't rely on FEMA – [Federal Emergency Management Association] -- to do any of that type of activity. We rely on FEMA to basically be a bank account. There's federal programs in place. We get our people qualified for individual assistance, reimbursement for some of the debris, but we take the matters into our own hands for the preparation and the rescue and response. I just think it's sad.” In addition, The Wall Street Journal reports that homeowners are rushing to file insurance claims after Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction across six states. Many of them will likely be left empty-handed. In recent years, property insurers have hollowed out coverage and sharply increased rates to make up for steep underwriting losses driven by natural disasters. Melania Trump champions abortion in new memoir And finally, last Thursday, Donald Trump said he gave his blessing for his wife Melania Trump to endorse a “fundamental right” to abortion in her upcoming memoir, at a time when relations are already strained between the GOP ticket and the party's pro-life base, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Earlier this week, an advance excerpt of the former First Lady's book was published, in which she declares that a “woman's fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes. Restricting a woman's right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body.” Sadly, Melania disregards the humanity of the children in the womb created by God. In Jeremiah 1:5, God said, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Fox News asked Trump for his reaction. FOX NEWS: “What's your reaction to Melania's memoir championing abortion rights and reproductive freedom?” TRUMP:  “We spoke about it and I said you have to write what you believe. I'm not going to tell you what to do. You have to write what you believe. “She's very beloved. People love our former First Lady, I can tell you that. But I said you have to stick with your heart. I've said that to everybody. You have to go with your heart. “There are some people that are very, very far right in the issue, meaning without exceptions. And then there are other people that view it a little bit differently than that.” Mrs. Trump's pro-abortion declaration comes the same week her husband clarified he “would not support a federal abortion ban, under any circumstances, and would, in fact, veto it.”  Trump tweeted those outrageous comments while J.D. Vance, his VP pick, was debating Tim Walz in New York last Tuesday. Trump now opposes further federal action on abortion, supports letting the Abortion Kill Pill to be distributed by mail, and has criticized pro-life states for overly “harsh” abortion bans. The former president has taken credit for making the GOP “less radical” on abortion, including by having the national Republican Party platform rewritten to reflect his more liberal position. Politico reported that multiple prominent pro-life figures were frank in their disapproval. Family Research Council president Tony Perkins said, “It is not a pro-life position, it's not an acceptable position, and it does not provide the contrast on this issue to the degree that we have had in the past between him and Kamala Harris.  What President Trump is doing is suppressing his own support.” Students for Life of America chief policy strategist Kristi Hamrick said,  “President Trump keeps saying that he wants to be out of the federal business of abortion.  So, number one, stop funding it.” And Live Action founder and leader Lila Rose lamented, “Unfortunately, it seems like Trump doesn't care about the pro-life base anymore. He came out recently and said that he supported access to these deadly abortion drugs, and that is horrific. When Trump is publicly compromising, it's deeply discouraging to pro-life and pro-family voters, and I think that he's putting his own election in jeopardy. Quite frankly, this is a losing strategy.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 7th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

If I could talk, I'd be in good shape, everyone. But I want to thank you all for being here. And Elizabeth, I'd like to thank you for being here and putting up with me. We actually spent a little bit of time before we started the recording, talking about our old favorite movies like Blazing Saddles and Star Wars and Young Frankenstein, but we won't go there for this podcast, because we have probably more up to date and relevant things to do, don't we? Elizabeth, welcome to unstoppable mindset.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 02:15 Thank you so much, Michael. It's my pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me as a guest. Well, you're   Michael Hingson ** 02:20 welcome. Why don't we start, if you would by you telling us a little bit kind of about the early Elizabeth growing up and those kinds of things. It's always kind of fun to learn about the early years as it were.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 02:33 Well, I actually don't remember that much about my childhood that was all that happy. I actually don't have happy memories. Really, my child other than I, I was, I liked animals and I spent I loved being with the horses and the ponies, right? So I that was fun, and I kind of like school, but my home life was challenging. My mother was a bipolar and an alcoholic and a ranger, so she I lived. I pretty much walked on eggshells, and their child abuse was not a thing back then. Was like, all that stuff was a secret. So I lived. I really grew up was a chronic pain suffer from the from the start?   Michael Hingson ** 03:25 Well, tell me so. Did you go to college at some point?   Elizabeth Kipp ** 03:28 Oh, yeah, yeah. I have a degree in plant science, yep. And I went, and I went to graduate school and studied environmental, environmental studies and and ecology and systematics, and I did a remote sensing as a plant person, yep.   Michael Hingson ** 03:46 Oh, you're making this very difficult. Elizabeth, okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask, did you ever see the Little Shop of Horrors?   Elizabeth Kipp ** 03:54 No, I never actually saw that. You know about it, though? Oh, yeah, I know.   Michael Hingson ** 03:58 I just never saw it. Feed me. Seymour, another man eating plant. Okay, enough. Well, so, so tell me a little bit about this whole we're so helpful. Tell me a little bit about this whole idea of chronic pain. What is chronic pain? Oh, yes,   Elizabeth Kipp ** 04:15 chronic pain is any pain that's felt 15 days out of 30 for three months or more, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. The the body really can't tell the difference. The brain can't tell the difference between one kind of pain and another. It all sends the same signal to the brain. It hurts. So a a grief experience is, is, is, is just as powerful as a you know, a broken maybe a broken bone that that takes more than three months to heal, which usually doesn't, but an injury can sometimes conduct injury. There are injuries that take more than three months to heal, so the brain can't tell the difference between a broken bone and a broken heart.   Michael Hingson ** 05:01 And they both manifest themselves in some way as what you view as true physical pain. Um,   Elizabeth Kipp ** 05:09 well, the way to really distinguish,   Michael Hingson ** 05:14 well, to first of all, for the person who doesn't really know the difference, is what I was thinking of.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 05:18 I understand. It's, it's not that simple. I mean, you know, our emotions have, if we look at the at the mind, body, spirit system is an integrated system which, okay, purposes of this conversation, let's do that. Okay? Do the reductionist model that the Western medicine does the emotions actually have a physical sensation, right? And when I think about grief like, I'm, I'm just this week, we're we're remembering the 10 year anniversary of my niece's suicide, for instance. And I remember Monday, when that, when that anniversary came around the weight, I felt the physical weight of that and the heaviness of the as a sensation in the body. And it was, and it's not like I carried that for as a chronic pain thing, but it was, it was with me for a few hours for sure that day. So so that that emotional charge that I had expressed itself as as a physical that manifested physically as this weight, tension and tightness in my body   06:41 got it   Elizabeth Kipp ** 06:44 so, so pain, chronic pain, can manifest as physical, emotional, emotional pain can journal over into physical. It's difficult to tell them the difference. You know, spiritual pain could be something like a grief experience, which also has its its corresponding body expression.   Michael Hingson ** 07:06 Do most people feel chronic pain, or are they such that mostly they can learn to deal with and overcome? If that makes sense, I'm   Elizabeth Kipp ** 07:17 going to back up. I hear what you're saying, and I'm going to back up for a minute and get Okay, zero in on what chronic pain is. So how chronic pain compared to acute pain? So we have a stress response in the body, and it's in the off position until we perceive a threat, and perceive a threat, or are threatened, and and then that stress response goes into the on position, in in in acute pain, the stress response goes in the off position, comes back, goes into the on position, comes back, into the off position, and it's back. It's in back and balance in chronic pain, the stress response goes under the on position. It gets stuck. Got it. So what does that mean? That means that we're the the that the nervous system is in this activated, hence, vigilant, hyper vigilant. Hyper vigilant state. And this is, this is very stressful for the body. It creates all kinds of, like a whole biochemical soup that the body has to handle. And it creates a lot of it can create a lot of disease. So it's, it's not, I'm not sure. It doesn't really answer your question, but it brings a little bit of light to what chronic pain is. Sure there are like the before covid, the National Institutes of Health estimated 25% of North America suffer from chronic pain across all socioeconomic measures, including children, and the World Health Organization estimated a fifth of the world. So it's this, and with that definition that I used, that's not a lot of people just think it's physical. It's not. It's this bigger thing, and I appreciate that. Yeah, it's the it's the mind, body, spirit system in this activated, chronically stressed state.   Michael Hingson ** 09:27 And so let's, let's use the WHO definition, 25% or 20% is still a large number of people, and that's, and I understand that. But then, while it's chronic, typically, do people just consistently, continuously suffer from chronic pain, or does something happen such that. People are able to overcome it in at some point, or what   Elizabeth Kipp ** 10:04 that depends on, that depends on their circumstances. For me, I suffered with chronic pain for 40 years before I found a doctor that actually understood what it was, and I all the doctors until the last one that I met, who were all Western doctors, as was the last one, but he was just differently trained. They all said you're gonna have to learn to live with it. And they gave me drugs to, like, numb it, but that which didn't really numb it, but that was so they, most of the doctors that I went to for all those years told me just deliberate, that they didn't know what to do about it. And I met 1000s and 1000s of other patients during that journey who were just living with chronic pain, the best by their wits.   Michael Hingson ** 10:54 So using the United States definition of 25% most of them, if they went to a doctor regarding it, even though it was chronic pain and they weren't and it wasn't properly diagnosed, they were given drugs or other things like that. And so it was an ongoing constant thing for them. It didn't last for just some shorter period of time, like a few months, and then they figured out how to overcome it, but traditionally, it sounds like more people than not continuously live with it because they don't know how to deal with it. That's right, okay, all right. And that was what I was really trying to get to before I had understood what you were saying. But I appreciate the situation. Now, you said the last doctor, though that you dealt with was differently trained, and I would suspect that if I asked you which I will he had some Eastern medicine training.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 11:55 He did and he was also a neurophysiologist, so he understood the changes in the brain that occur because of chronic pain and and so he had some special training that that like a family doctor or orthopedic doctor, or maybe even a neurologist, if he's not a neurophysiologist and kind of what the specialty is, they may not catch that. They might not have that training. This is an issue that we have with the western model.   Michael Hingson ** 12:29 Well, the western model tends to not take into account the spiritual aspect of things as we know.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 12:37 Oh, it's very reductionist, right? So I'll give you an example of how that works, just for the audience. You probably know this, but if you So, I had the one of the questions is like, Why did I have chronic pain? I didn't. It wasn't just emotional. I had a physical issue. I had a I broke my fifth lumbar and and a front to back, and it slipped forward into my pelvis, and I had a lot of surgery to try and and stabilize that and but my back never I just was I had this horribly sore back. Now what's interesting is, first of all, the doctors assumed I wouldn't heal that. That was their assumption. So I, you know, I felt like their assumption was wrong, but that's the model they were using. Me, such a thing was wrong. But here's the thing about reductionist that the reductionist view, if you saw, if you picked, if you found three patients that had X rays just like mine, you'd find patients that had three different symptoms, one that had pain all the time, one that had pain only when they were stressed, and one that didn't have any pain at all. How do you explain that? By just looking at the X ray, you can, you can, yeah, that's the issue. So doctors see my X ray, and they go, here are your opiates. But I don't have any pain. And I've been each one of those patients, by the way, different times in my life I've been each one of those, right? So there's something else going on there besides trouble in the spine. And so instead of assuming that I wasn't going to heal, which was an error in their in their model, they never asked the question, why isn't Elizabeth healing? Because their model precluded that. I That that was even possible. Just assume there wasn't the healing wasn't going to happen. Yeah, so that's a, that's a, just a challenging assumption to sit with when you're looking at Western doctors to try and give you an answer. Well, they can't actually accept. Dr Peter prescop, he gave me an answer and there, there are more integrated doctors now. Well so that there are some integrated pain management programs available to people. They're just kind of spread pretty thin.   Michael Hingson ** 15:08 Yeah, I don't have an exact similar kind of situation, but my fifth guide dog, who was with me in the World Trade Center, Rozelle, had some back problems, and as she grow older, had some other issues. Our veterinarian, where we lived in Northern California, not only had Western training, but a lot of Eastern medicine training, and in fact, several times while he was our veterinarian, which was over a number of years, he traveled to learn more Eastern medicine, training like not directly related to you, necessarily, but acupuncture and other sorts of things. But he, but he greatly understood the Eastern philosophy and what it brought that traditional medicine in the West didn't, which was all just throw drugs at it, even that, and he would, he would prescribe some medications, but he also had a lot of other things that that he did that the average veterinarian would not do.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 16:16 Yeah, I hear you.   Michael Hingson ** 16:19 So what did Dr Prescott say to you that gave you a real clue that he's different? A   Elizabeth Kipp ** 16:28 couple of things he he told me when my first conversation with him over the phone, he said to me, I can help you reset your stress response, and I never told him. All I told him was that I had been on opiates and benzodiazepines for 31 years, and, and I was and, and, and I was still hurting. I never told him I was having panic attacks. He knew, and my prescribing doctor didn't have any comment about any of that. So I knew right away when he said, I was like, I don't know who you are or where you've been all my life, but I'm coming to your program. Like, it's like, boom, if I could get away from these panic attacks, I'm your girl. It's like, and he never promised me that my pain would go away. He never promised that. He promised me that he could get off the he could hit me off the medication, and he promised me that he could reset my stress response and on his own. So   Michael Hingson ** 17:30 he promised that he would try, which is really, you know, whether he said that directly or not tacitly, it was implied that at least he's going to try to do what he can, and he's got some thoughts.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 17:44 Well, he had already taken 1000s of people through medical detox, and he had a 94% success rate in his pain management program. So what's like? He had proven a proven method,   Michael Hingson ** 17:59 right? So what was it like going well, growing up, going through college and so on, and then getting out into the workforce. What was it like having chronic pain all that time?   Elizabeth Kipp ** 18:14 Well, I got I was, I actually learned from the age of 14. I well prior to that, before my accident where I hurt my back, I was used to living with chronic pain from irritable bowel syndrome. I was used to that, so when I actually had the accident and broke that vertebrae and got up and walked away from the accident. I didn't have any idea that I'd hurt my I knew I'd I knew I had I bumped myself, and I knew it hurt, but it I didn't. It didn't occur to me that it was at that level because I could get up and walk away like I was able to walk. So I just hurt for a few weeks, and a lot. I hurt a lot for a couple of weeks, and then it kind of calmed down. So I was already my nervous system was already used to a very high level of pain, and for me, still in my nervous system, it gives you an idea of how the nervous system can can develop at a young age, under certain to react in certain ways. Because I had such a difficult childhood from zero to seven that when I got to be 14, I didn't even realize how badly I'd hurt myself. And even today, as a, you know, an older adult, I have a yoga practice. And I don't I my journey, my challenge is to, is to where's the line between, you know? Not enough is atrophy, and too much is injury. I don't know where the line is into injury. I'll go right over it and and then I realize I'm there. And I didn't even know there was a line like I it's very difficult for me to discern that. So my nervous system kind of got trained to ignore, uh, pain signals, right? And and my journey really has been to try and try and reset that so it's it took me more than my stress response is definitely back to balance that's a little different than the nervous system being, having, having a certain habit, when you get to this level of pain, ignore it, because you got to keep going. That habit was, that's a very different habit, and that's a behavioral that was how I survived in the world, pushed through. And that, that's, that's, that's a, that's a toxic way to live. Yeah, right. So, so that was, that was something I lived with. And then when I, when I got six credits short of finishing my Masters, I started the surgery on my back, and I never got back to finishing my master's looks like I was so close. I had my thesis done, and I just needed those six credits, couple of courses to take, boom, and I would have been done. And that that surgery just just took me down. So the universe kind of redirected my redirected me completely into a new field. So now I work in stress management instead of an environmental science management and environmental management, that was kind of what I was doing. I was doing environmental assessment, you know, as a plant specialist. So tell me   Michael Hingson ** 21:56 a little bit about that. What that means and what you did,   Elizabeth Kipp ** 21:59 if you would. Oh, yeah. So, so I was living, I'm in Kansas, still here in Lawrence, Kansas. And I was a, I was a, like a plant scientist, but I was also an environmental studies but from the plant end of it, and as a graduate student, I worked for the Kansas applied remote sensing program, which had a mandate from the Carter Administration at the time to take NASA's Landsat technology from the federal level down into local and state and local government level. So my job was to help implement that as a graduate student. And an example, give an example of what we did. There's a an eight there's an aquifer that that this spreads out in eight states. It's called the Ogallala Aquifer, right here in the Midwest, and it's used, it's a non renewable resource, and it's used by farmers to irrigate their crops, and because it's essentially, essentially a non renewable resource, NASA's NASA was into one of their arms within NASA wanted to know, when is the aquifer going to run out well? Somebody wanted to know that. And NASA came to us and said, can you develop a methodology so that we can actually answer that question? So I So, as the plant person, I had to my job was to contact all the county agents there's like, I don't know, 270 some county agents in that eight state area, and find out how many acres of every crop that's grown by all the farmers in that county. And then I took all those crops, and figured out when they're when they get irrigated, how much water that takes, all that kind of stuff. And we came up, ultimately, we we came up with an estimate that the aquifer would be tapped. We came up with the methodology for them to come to answer that question, yeah, so that was, that's an example of,   Michael Hingson ** 24:24 did you get an answer, or did,   Elizabeth Kipp ** 24:26 yeah, we did get an answer. We did not. We got an answer. And that was in 1980 the answer was 2040, the year 20. And   Michael Hingson ** 24:34 why is it that it can't be renewed, or the moisture can't go down and replace what's used well, because   Elizabeth Kipp ** 24:40 it's deep water, it's not, it's not us, it's not surface one. It's like a river. It's deep it's water that's been, that's accumulated over millions of years, yeah, not, it's not, it can't be replenished, really, with with annual rainfall. It doesn't work like that, right? It's a Geo, it's a   Michael Hingson ** 24:59 geological. Yeah, no, I understand. So what will happen in 2040 has anybody, obviously, with NASA being concerned about that? And they come up with any other thoughts   Elizabeth Kipp ** 25:09 that was then NASA's in that business anymore, but Well,   Michael Hingson ** 25:15 somebody else,   Elizabeth Kipp ** 25:16 the US Geological Survey, right, is interested in that the Water Resources department within the US Geological Survey is interested in that question. And I was just reading, I don't know I read a I read, or I keep my eye on that, on that information from time to time. And I think I just read, in the last probably six months, you have a kind of an interview about the farmers, and because there's, there was a, kind of a drought last year, so there was pressure on the aquifer. And anyway, I don't, you know, there's, we're going to run out of water. It's going to change. It's going to change this part of the world and the rest of the world that this part of the world feeds. It's just going to, you know, it's going to change things.   Michael Hingson ** 26:02 And the problem is that if we don't figure out alternatives, that's going to be a crisis. I mean, there, there are probably those who say, well, Nikola Tesla said that we ought to be able to move rain clouds and redirect them and get more moisture and be more volitional about it, but nobody seems to want to take that seriously, assuming that Tesla was right.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 26:27 Oh, I can't speak to that. I know. I mean, the USDA had been cloud seeding for years, but I can't really that's not my area. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 26:37 it's, it's more than that. It's also having the clouds in the right place and the it's one of the things that that, apparently, Tesla was very concerned about and interested in. So I don't know where all of that has really gone, either, but I but I do know there are a lot of creative people out there, if given the opportunity to really address issues. But that's, of course, the real question, isn't it, how much are people allowed to or how much will people take things seriously? I'm sure there are people who are out there who would say that your your stuff is, is all bunk, and we're never going to run out of water, because it's been there for millions of years. But people, have interesting ways of viewing things, don't they? Oh, they do, yeah, it's like chronic pain. But, you know, and it's, it's one of those things that we, we do have to deal with, and we'll see what happens over time. I guess that's all we can really say. So why? So you said that the statistics generally are that about 25% of all people in the United States have chronic pain, so that's a quarter of the population. Any reason why, if we believe the numbers, and maybe there's no real good way to discuss this. But he said the World Health Organization said, basically 20% why the 5% difference? Oh, I   Elizabeth Kipp ** 28:08 don't have no idea. Yeah, that's I mean,   Michael Hingson ** 28:10 I could come up with all sorts of excuses, you and   Elizabeth Kipp ** 28:13 I could, could theorize about that, but yeah, we could,   Michael Hingson ** 28:16 and we would be just as right as anybody else. So it's okay.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 28:22 I mean, I had my, I have my, my views on that, but I they're not really based in science. No,   Michael Hingson ** 28:27 no. And I didn't know whether anybody had really studied it. And I just thought it was worth I didn't really   Elizabeth Kipp ** 28:33 looked at that question. So maybe somebody has, and I just don't know about it.   Michael Hingson ** 28:37 It'd be an interesting thing to see. I mean, clearly, there's a lot of stress right now in this country, and And there shall be for a while, and I think one and there are a lot of fears in this country. I'm getting ready to have my third book published, which is entitled to like a guide dog, true stories from a blind man and his dogs about being brave, overcoming adversity and walking in faith. And the idea behind it is that we can learn to control fear. I'm not going to ever say we'll just be able to not be afraid of anything, and I wouldn't want to, because I think that fear is a very powerful tool, but you can learn to control it and not let it overwhelm you. And that's that's the issue, and that's what live like a guide dog is all about. But too many people don't learn how to accomplish that skill, which is a challenge, of course.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 29:34 Oh, that would be, I love that you said that. That seems to be a theme of my life these days, with my, you know, in my own practice, and in my and with my clients, because that fear is, you know, that's the part of us is trying to keep us safe and survive in the world. And it's a very healthy response, and we need it to stay safe. And, sure. And it can play havoc with us that you're talking about the mind. You're talking about finding a way to meet your resistance to when fear comes up for you. And I literally do that every morning I in my yoga practice, I put myself in a in a posture, or a, you know, a certain kind of meditation, or a practice of some kind that where my own ego comes in and, you know, presents itself and says you're not going to get past this because I'm doing this, like, Yeah, I'm going to stay here and just keep breathing, right? And so it's, it's, and the thing is, is that if you can face your fear and keep stay on target, and keep facing that resistance that you feel you get through on the other side, and you've got, you know, you've got kind of a new place there. So you, you've you've increased your courage, you've hardened your resistance, resilience in the world. Well,   Michael Hingson ** 31:18 what you learn is that fear is a very helpful thing, and I would be absolutely presumptuous and never say you shouldn't be afraid. I know that there are some people in this world whose nerve endings are such that they don't feel pain at all, and as a result, they don't have the option to deal with all the signals that pain, in some way, can bring and fear is the same sort of thing. I think that it would be ridiculous to say, Don't be afraid, but I do believe that you can control fear and that you can use it to help direct you, but you have to take the initiative to establish a mindset to do that, and that's what most of us don't do. We don't prepare. We don't learn how to prepare for different situations. And I talk a lot about being in the World Trade Center, of course, on September 11, and learned long before that day what to do in an emergency, and I spent a lot of time talking to people, talking to the fire department, talking to the Port Authority, police and others, and learning what to do in case of an emergency. And I also did it mainly because, well, it was survival. I wasn't going to rely on somebody reading signs to me because I'm not going to read signs, right? I'm not going to rely on somebody reading signs to me for a couple of reasons. One, there might not be anybody around, because a lot of times I'm in the office alone, and no one else is there, and and two, they might not be able to read the signs, because we might be in an environment where there's smoke or power failure and there's no light, so they couldn't read the signs anyway. And I was the leader of an office, so I had to take the responsibility of learning all I could about the complex and what to do in an emergency, and did that, and that established a mindset, as I realized much later, that said, if something happens, you know what to do. It was all about the preparation that made that possible. And I think that in dealing with learning to control fear, it's learning to prepare, it's learning to really talk to and with your mind and learning how to use that tool in a productive way. And that's something that most people don't do. They don't exercise their mind to learn to communicate with it and talk with it and learn like, How'd today go? Why was I afraid of this? What should I have done differently and develop the mind into the muscle that really has the strength that you should want it to have? Well, 10   Elizabeth Kipp ** 34:08 forward to that, I hear you loud and clear. I would refine your comment slightly. I have a slightly different perspective. It's not like that. I'm controlling fear. I'm controlling my reaction to it   Michael Hingson ** 34:24 well, but yeah, and I appreciate that. But what that does is it puts you in control of the fear, and it helps you learn to use it as a very powerful tool on your side, rather than it blinding or paralyzing or overwhelming you and just taking control so you can't do anything.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 34:50 Yes, and there are, when I teach Trauma Recovery, i. We look at the nervous system and how it's reacting, and so if I'm in a fight, flight or shut down mode, the nervous system reacting to some trigger in the environment, right there are tools I can bring to bear that can help me move out of that fight, flight or freeze or regulate it   Michael Hingson ** 35:27 right now, that's really the issue. Right to regulate it or never let you really go into it, because you accept that you can deal with situations if you spend the time preparing and learning how to do it?   Elizabeth Kipp ** 35:44 Yeah, I'm not going to say I, let me put it this way, I have a hair trigger starter response. There was a if there was a boom outside or a gunshot or something that went off outside my window, I jump. Yeah, that's a response, right? That's an activated that's the nervous system activated, right, right? However, I'm down from that in probably five seconds, okay? And that's the point. I know how to breathe, and that's because I've   Michael Hingson ** 36:13 done the training. This is that's the point, exactly, right?   Elizabeth Kipp ** 36:18 Taking me an hour or half a day in the past. Now it's five seconds   Michael Hingson ** 36:24 well, and and the reality is, I think there are very few people among us who wouldn't jump if they heard that gunshot right outside their window, exactly. And so that's okay.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 36:39 Our machineries operate, but it   Michael Hingson ** 36:44 is then how we deal with it and how we have trained our minds to allow us to go. Wait a minute, what just happened? Oh, okay, that was a gunshot. I'm going to duck down here so somebody doesn't shoot at me, but I'm going to peek out the window see if I can see what's going on or whatever. I mean, you know, in my case, peeking out the window isn't going to do any good. Call 911, well, or I'd open the window and go stop the noise. I wouldn't do that, yes, but so I know   Elizabeth Kipp ** 37:13 better, am I? We actually and live in a neighborhood where from time to time we hear gunshots, and last summer, there was, there were some gunshots in the neighborhood, and a policeman stopped by and knocked on my door and asked me if I'd heard gunshots. And I said, Yes. And I said, I don't like to bother you guys. He said, bother us. We want to hear we want you to call us when you hear that. So I learned, I got told   Michael Hingson ** 37:39 we have been I live in an area where we have had gunshots. I haven't really heard them. My house is a as a new house, and so with the installation everything, it had to be a pretty close gunshot. But we had kids of a couple of months ago that just came at like, 10 o'clock at night, and they just pounded on my garage door, and then I didn't hear anything after that, and I listened, but I didn't hear anything. And it was the next day that I learned that they had done that to other people, and they were trying to break into garages. And what stopped them actually, I don't think it was my garage door. I think it was my front door, but I was not in the living room at the time. But what happened was having video cameras around the place. One of the kids saw that the doorbell camera was taking pictures of them, and it was kind of too late to avoid it, so they took off. Okay, there you go. And I have no problem with having those cameras around and but again, it's preparation. And mentally, I think all the time about what happens when somebody comes to my door and knocks on my door at 10 o'clock at night. I think about that sometimes, and very likely, if it's a knock, it could be a police officer. But how am I going to know that? So I've learned how to use my system so that I can talk to my doorbell camera and system to say who's there, or I can call the police and say someone's knocking on my door and claiming they're the police. Are they? Oh, good. But I've but I've thought about that, and I think about that because that's part of preparation, yeah, and that's okay and, and I think the closest we ever came to something in the middle of the night was we, my wife and I, this was, like three years ago. We heard a noise outside of our house, and it sounded like something hit something, and it was, it was a car. That was a woman driving a car, and she looked down at a cup of coffee just in time to hit a trailer, and it knocked the trailer up into our yard. And a couple minutes later, well, so we immediately called the police that something had happened, and I got dressed. It was 530 Darn I didn't get my full sleep. But then somebody came and knocked at the door, and they said it was Highway Patrol and and I verified it, and, you know, we went on. But it's, I think, with all of that, it's preparation, and it isn't so much well, what if this happens, or what if that happens? It's what do I do to prepare for different situations that might occur? So maybe it is a what if, but preparation is the important thing, and preparation can really help you learn to regulate how you deal with fear Exactly.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 40:34 That's why I do my practice every day. Yeah. So,   Michael Hingson ** 40:38 so when did you switch from plant science and environmental science and studies to stress management and and trauma and addiction recovery and so on? As   Elizabeth Kipp ** 40:51 soon as I started the surgery, I started learning about stress management. But when was that? Oh, well, that would have been in, oh god. What was that? 1982   Michael Hingson ** 41:00 Oh my gosh. So you've been doing this a while. Well, I've   Elizabeth Kipp ** 41:03 been that was, that was the school of hard knocks that I did, that I learned that the hard way. Well, yeah, and then 10 years ago, I actually went into business doing it. I mean, I felt like I had enough, I had enough kind of street cred and experience and wisdom to actually be able to bring the teaching to the world. So, so what is your company? Called Elizabeth KIPP, stress management limited.   Michael Hingson ** 41:27 That works,   Elizabeth Kipp ** 41:30 says it all.   Michael Hingson ** 41:32 And Kip is k, i, p, p, correct, yeah. Stress Management limited, yep. Okay, there you go, folks. So, so tell me what you do and and how you operate, if you would.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 41:45 Oh, I, I help people build resilience, kind of like we're talking about also, I help people calm their nervous systems down, which is this regulation you and I are talking about. I work with people that have this chronic pain distress response that's off out of balance. I help them bring it back to balance. And that includes, I include addiction recovery in that, because every addict I know chronic pain patient, first, I include trauma, trauma training in that as well, because every chronic pain patient I knew had unresolved trauma in their system. So I went to learn how to be trauma informed. So I include, I'm not a therapist, but I'm a great coach in that space. So I teach trauma informed yoga, and I teach the methods that you need to use to get the nervous system back into balance and train the mind into healthy habits so that, just like you and I are talking about, so that when the stresses come into our lives, we stay centered. Now we might be, we might be activated briefly, but we we, we come. We come back into regulation quickly. And those are the things I teach how to do that, because I had to learn how to do that myself. So it's like, you know, I got this. I can help people with this. Yeah, the other thing I do is, I help. I am an ancestor clearing teacher, ancestral clearing practitioner as well, which is a practice that helps us clear the effects of unresolved intergenerational trauma. It's like a slightly different the historical trauma specialty that I do is like, I work with collective trauma and historical trauma as well. Okay,   Michael Hingson ** 43:55 so two questions. The first one is, you said you're a coach, not a therapist. What's the difference?   Elizabeth Kipp ** 44:00 Well, therapist has a licensing by the state that they live in, and I don't have those things   Michael Hingson ** 44:09 but, but there are a lot of coaches who are certified in one way or another. So,   Elizabeth Kipp ** 44:12 oh well, yeah, yeah, I'm a certified yoga teacher. I'm I'm a recovery coach as well. So I went through training for that. And I've, I've had trauma training. I just and trauma informed yoga training, I just haven't and I've had lots of ancestor clearing, practitioner training. Those are things that that they don't have letters after your name. What   Michael Hingson ** 44:38 I was told was that the basic difference is that a coach provides guidance and asks questions and really works to guide you to find the solution so they don't have the answers and they're not supposed to, whereas a therapist is a person. Because of the way they're trained, they do have more of an ability to be able to provide answers, so it isn't just asking questions. They may be also able to more directly suggest answers, because they're not really acting as just a guide or a counselor. They're supposed to provide more substantive information as well.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 45:20 Okay, that's interesting.   Michael Hingson ** 45:24 In a coaching course,   Elizabeth Kipp ** 45:26 I say as a coach, I'm I support, like I'm very supportive of anyone who's also got a therapist. I do the day, kind of therapist they might see once a week, once every two weeks, or once a month. I'm there for the day to day. This is how you deal with life in between. This is like, that's what I do. So supportive of all other professionals in that space, which people need, practical What do I do now? Kind of stuff? Yeah, therapist and now, what do I do? I won't see her till next month.   Michael Hingson ** 46:02 So that's where you come in, because you can say, well, let's talk about that. Tell me what, what you're thinking what, what is it you want to do? And and again, it's all about guidance and counseling more than anything else.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 46:15 And I really prefer the Socratic method, where the where the client comes up with the own, their own, with their with their with they come up with the answer because then now they're looking now they're empowered. They're not looking to me for the answer. They're coming up with on their own. And so now they're walking away from an appointment with me or session with me feeling empowered, which is where I want them to be, which   Michael Hingson ** 46:42 is where they should be, and that way they're they're more apt to buy into it.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 46:48 Yeah, they need, they need to be able to step into the to the power that lives within them.   Michael Hingson ** 46:55 You guide them to find but they're the ones that have to find and adopt. Well, I open the door they have to walk through, right, exactly. Well, tell me about ancestral clearing. I have not really heard of that much, so I'd love to know more about that, how it works and so on.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 47:12 Well, it's actually a spiritual practice, and it's based on the understanding that we come into this life with, from a sciency point of view, I'll say information in the system. And the system is where you're a programmer. So you'll understand this. The system is has got noise in it. So some of all the information is there to be used. Some of it's useful, and some of it's not so useful. And some of that is, what I mean, is noise in the system. And so some of the unuseful stuff is like, we come in with behaviors from our ancestors around worry, you know, which is we that can people drive people neurotic? Yeah, worry energy. Or maybe they've got a lot of grief energy. Maybe they're, you know, they have a tendency towards grief   Michael Hingson ** 48:11 or addiction, talking about, like alcohol and things like that. Yeah,   Elizabeth Kipp ** 48:15 absolutely. But that's not, um, that's more epigenetic, rather than genetic. They haven't found an actual gene that of addiction. It's an epigenetic,   Michael Hingson ** 48:27 yeah, well, well, but it's also is to my father did that, my grandfather did that, and my my my mother did that. So obviously I should do that too   Elizabeth Kipp ** 48:39 well. It's kind of like the disposition is there. It's up to us to choose whether we want to and it's kind of up to the environment, how we're reacting to the environment, right? If my parents are are reaching for a drink to help them deal with the stresses of the day. Because we have these mimic we have these mirror neurons in we mimic other people. We mimic what they do. That's what we do, right? So we're going to, we're going to pick that stuff up, but we know at some point we have to wake up and be conscious like,   Michael Hingson ** 49:17 well, we should anyway, but yeah, hopefully, yeah. But anyway, continue with ancestral clearing.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 49:23 Yeah. So, so ancestral clearing helps us release the effects of intergenerational that negative effects of intergenerational trauma, I put it that way, any kind of unhealthy charge from the past, which is why it works so well with my stress management work, where we're we're carrying a an unhealthy charge in the nervous system around or maybe a belief system that's that's got us that we're reactive to. Now the spiritual aspect is where. We're we're actually asking creator, God, energy, source, whatever you want to call that energy that created everything. We're asking it to come and come in on our behalf and help, help, help the client, release the the whatever they're carrying that's no longer needed, no longer serving them. So that's the spiritual aspect of it. Very interesting and powerful process. Very interesting. So I was very impressed with it when I first experienced it, not knowing what I was walking into at the time. And I, I noticed my own pain levels dropped significantly, and so did everybody else's in the room. And I was like, What is this modality? What is this what just happened here? I know, I know something happened. Can you measure it? Is can he repeat it? And does he teach it? And answer to all that was, well, they haven't been able to that many scientific studies done on it, but there's a lot of anecdotal stuff that tells us that that it's, it's very powerful. So I wouldn't, I wouldn't be bringing it. I wouldn't be taking, taking up my time and or anybody else's doing a process. I've been doing this for 10 years, doing a process that didn't work.   Michael Hingson ** 51:22 Can you give me an example of of something that ancestral clearing can do something about, and then how you go about addressing the issue?   Elizabeth Kipp ** 51:34 Well, I'll tell you what. I'll share with you a quick example. That the whole, that the whole everybody can can relate to, okay, one who's listening can just listen to this and see, see what their experience is, where everybody who's listening put your attention on your body. Notice what sensations you're feeling. You know, for instance, in sample, I can feel my back on the chair and my feet on the floor and and I've got a little bit of, I've got a little bit of tension in my for the front of my forehead, just a little bit, um, I probably give it a zero, a number from zero to 10 and intensity, and give it about a three, maybe. So I everybody, just notice whatever that is for you, and I want you to breathe normally as I and and as I say, as I, as I say this prayer, and we use the word forgive, meaning we're offering up that which no Lord serves us. We're asking creator to help us release that which no longer serves us. That's how we're using that word forgive. So I'm just going to go through this. I'm going to we're going to use the word Infinite Creator for the whatever all of this that we're in Infinite Creator, all that you are. Would you please help everyone listening to this and all of their relationships and all their ancestors and all of their relationships throughout all space, time, dimension, realms, lives, lifetimes and incarnations for all the hurts and wrongs ever done to them in thought, word or action, any hurts and wrongs they did to others, whether knowingly or unknowingly, and any hurts and wrongs they did to themselves, please help them all forgive and release each other. Help you all forgive yourselves, please and thank you. Okay, time, anytime anyone was abandoned, not supported, nourished and cherished the way they needed.

Thank you, please. And thank you. And just take a nice big breath in, let it out and notice how that feels, big or small.   Michael Hingson ** 54:35 And I can tell that it helps. It's just different. It's pretty powerful. It is, it is and and, you know, again, it comes back down to taking the time to do something, to redirect what we address, or what we what we don't address, and redirect some of the stress and some of the. The things that we may or may not know that are bothering us, but it is all about taking some steps to start to deal with that.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 55:08 That's right, that's right. That's so important because it's a this is why I deal with historical trauma and collective trauma, because it's in the field we're feeling it anyway. Why not? We're experiencing the energies of it. Why not, you know? Why not name it and deal with it? Because it's going to help us again, build resilience.   Michael Hingson ** 55:34 What are some shifts in you've had in your your mind, and specifically in your mindset that made your feelings unstoppable going forward. Well, that's   Elizabeth Kipp ** 55:49 a great question. Um, I actually, I have to say that the thing that has been a pattern over my life for me that switches me from the I can't do this to Hell, yeah, I could do this. Is my connection to oneness, because it's in my sense of separation, my ego, sense of separation, that I'm not a part of where the fear thrives, but when I remember that I'm connected into all the all it is, and I'm just the creators moving through me, just like it's moving through everything that Is that that just amplifies everything and creates a power that that I couldn't even, I can't even fathom the power there, so I don't do it alone. That's the difference, if that makes sense, it does.   Michael Hingson ** 56:54 What does an unstoppable mindset mean to you in regards to stress management? As   Elizabeth Kipp ** 56:58 I said, what it means is, whatever the resistance is that's in front of me, I have the capacity to face it now. I may be activated like a stress. I might have that, that star response for a moment, but that, that that ability to face my own resistance, my which is the fear, my ability to face that, and my willingness to face it, and my practice of facing it, that's that's the thing that gives me the leverage and the momentum to the staying power. We call that staying power in the yoga that's called staying power right there. That's what gives it to me.   Michael Hingson ** 57:50 Got it? Well, tell me what are some kind of last thoughts that you might have for anyone listening to this, who may be feeling some of the issues that we've talked about or who may be looking for solutions. What kind of advice might you have for people   Elizabeth Kipp ** 58:06 ask for help. You don't have to do this alone. Really important. You you even talked about it in terms of your your your preparation. How many different people did you go to for guidance, right? We can't do this thing alone, and we're not alone where we don't want to buy into the illusion that we are. So asking for help is, is, is important, and the other thing is, which is kind of the opposites. And we're looking outward for help, right? But we're also respected. Understand that the the greatest healer in your life, lives within you. So you want to, you want to recognize that doctors can set a bonus stitch up a wound, but they can't tell the body how to heal. Only the body knows how to do that. So get that straight in your mind, or where the where the healing power truly is. Yeah, those are the two things that I that I that I always like to end my my presentations with you.   Michael Hingson ** 59:03 The reality is, we are the best things for ourselves, if we really take the time to look and listen. As I tell people, and I used to always say I was my own worst critic when I would listen to speeches of that I had recorded and so on. And over the last year, I've learned bad thing to say, the more appropriate thing to say is, I'm my own best teacher, because really only I can teach me, and only I can teach me if I'm open and willing to learn. And that involves asking for help, that involves interacting with other people, but I have to take the steps to make it happen   Elizabeth Kipp ** 59:40 exactly, so they can open the door, but we have to walk through. We   Michael Hingson ** 59:44 have to walk through. That's exactly right. Well, I want to thank you, Elizabeth again, for being here and again, tell people how they can reach out to you.   Elizabeth Kipp ** 59:54 Oh, great.

A Montana newspaper refuses to comply with a state justice department demand to remove an internal document from a recent article. On August 16th the Daily Montanan published a redacted copy of a nearly 400-page survey. It detailed employees' concerns about Attorney General Austin Knudsen's management of the highway patrol as well distrust within upper levels of the agency.

This interview on Backstage Sonoma features host Steve Roby in conversation with renowned Country guitarist and singer Junior Brown. The discussion highlights Brown's illustrious career, marked by the release of 12 studio albums and multiple hits on the Billboard Country Singles Charts. It begins with an overview of Brown's musical journey, including influences from television and radio icons of the 50s and 60s, such as Ernest Tubb, and shows like "Hullabaloo" and "Shindig." Brown delves into the creation of his iconic instrument, the Git Steel double-neck guitar, explaining its practical utility in allowing him to switch between electric and steel guitar seamlessly during performances. The talk transitions into Brown's songwriting process, where he emphasizes the importance of titles and hooks in crafting his lyrics, typically before melodies. “When I'm asked about songwriting, a title will practically write the song if it's a good title, and every line of the song must support it. And if it doesn't, then you're getting away from it. You're drifting.” Host Roby draws attention to Brown's famous live rendition of "Highway Patrol," a song by Red Simpson. This performance showcases Brown's ability to personalize and revitalize classic tunes. Memorable performances, such as playing with rock and roll legend Bo Diddley, are recounted enthusiastically, underscoring significant milestones in Brown's career. The interview also touches on collaborative experiences with country music legends like Ray Price, George Jones, and Hank Thompson, hinting at these encounters' profound impact on Brown. Looking ahead, Brown shares his vision for an innovative album blending surf music with his trademark "twangy" sound, inspired by a painting he created called "Git Steel Surfer." The interview wraps up with mutual appreciation and well-wishes for Brown's future endeavors. Overall, the interview is a compelling blend of nostalgia, technical insights, and forward-looking creativity, offering fans a deeper appreciation of Junior Brown's multifaceted artistry. Junior Brown's California tour will make three stops in the North Bay, starting August 14 at Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley. On Friday, August 16, he plays at the Uptown Theatre in Napa and the Raven Theatre in Healdsburg for a show on Saturday, August 17. Ticket info here.

Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell give an update in the Stephen Smith case during the ninth anniversary of his mysterious death. Why did Highway Patrol stop looking into Stephen's death right after receiving its strongest lead to date?  Mandy and Liz look into the track record of the police officer behind a tip that introduced two new names into the investigation in 2015. Also on today's episode, 911 calls and police records show the chaos of Pastor JP Miller's life in the aftermath of two big scandals he brought onto his church — his 2015 affair with Mica Francis and Mica's recent death. After combing through dozens of reports involving the church, True Sunlight has a better picture about how JP and those in his circle have regarded the backlash. In one harrowing call to police — in which JP claims to be followed by an armed individual — police get a taste of JP's flair for drama and the many contradictions of his personality.  Lots to learn in this 58th episode of True Sunlight and more to come as Alex Murdaugh's appeal clock ticks down, Buster's defendants' responses are imminent and the FBI continues to look into Mica's case...

The Missouri State Highway Patrol's Water Division has begun its investigation into Monday morning's drowning death of Boone County Fire Protection District assistant chief Matthew Tobben. Mr. Tobben drowned after rescuing two pedestrians stranded in Bear Creek floodwaters. Boone County Fire assistant chief Gale Blomenkamp tells 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" that the Highway Patrol's investigators have talked to two members of the team that were on-scene during Monday's rescue. Mr. Blomenkamp tells listeners that the Missouri State Highway Patrol will look at the boat and the boat's motor. He says it appears to be a tragic accident. Mr. Blomenkamp tells listeners that a procession will escort Mr. Tobben back to his hometown of eastern Missouri's Union today. They'll leave Columbia at about 10:15, going from Stadium to Highway 63 to eastbound I-70. They'll travel to the Highway 47 exit in Warrenton, before heading to Union. Mr. Blomenkamp is encouraging public safety agencies to be present on I-70 and other highway overpasses with American flags. Assistant chief Tobben had been a member of Columbia-based Missouri Task Force One since 2012 and started with the Boone County Fire Protection District as training chief in May. Tobben previously spent 19 years with the fire department in eastern Missouri's Union:

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue to shine the light on a corrupt judicial system in South Carolina. This week they helped bring attention to and did their part to stop the legislature from electing prosecutor David Miller to a judgeship — after exposing Miller's role in getting thrice-accused rapist Bowen Turner a secret soft plea deal in 2022.

In this episode, Marshall and Nick discuss various topics related to the detailing industry and car enthusiasts. They start by talking about their favorite video games and how detailing has become a science or a "bro science". They then share a story about a neighbor with a loud exhaust and how it affects his daily life. The conversation shifts to truck and camper enthusiasts and the dedication they have to matching their vehicles. They also discuss the challenges of pricing in the detailing industry and the importance of knowing your costs. The episode concludes with a discussion about highway patrol and speeding. In this conversation, Marshall and Nick discuss the practice of pulling over on the highway and the safety concerns associated with it. They also talk about the inefficiency of this practice and the need for a better approach. The conversation then shifts to the misconceptions about police officers and their job requirements. They also discuss the condition of low mileage vehicles and the importance of understanding different paint systems. The conversation concludes with a focus on preservation and the belief systems in the detailing industry. Takeaways Detailing has become a science, and it is now highly regarded in the automotive industry. Truck and camper enthusiasts often go to great lengths to match their vehicles and create a cohesive look. Pricing in the detailing industry can be subjective and dependent on various factors, such as location and individual circumstances. It is important for detailers to know their costs and consider their profit margins when setting prices. Highway patrol officers should consider pulling over vehicles in a safe location to avoid causing traffic congestion. Pulling over on the highway can be dangerous and inefficient, and there should be a better approach to traffic stops. There are misconceptions about police officers and their job requirements, and it is important to understand the challenges they face. Low mileage vehicles may not always be in great condition, and it is important to assess each vehicle individually. Certifications and belief systems in the detailing industry can sometimes lead to unnecessary and damaging practices. Preservation should be a priority in detailing, and it is important to consider the long-term ownership of vehicles.

The men returned the bags and his money to Haskell and returned his money. Haskell played it off, telling the workers what they actually saw were Halloween props. The men drove immediately to the police. The men try to report what they have seen to police but are turned away. The men went to the the Highway Patrol station first but were told to go to the Los Angeles police department.
