This episode delves into the recent controversies surrounding Opus Dei, a secretive and influential organization within the Catholic Church. According to a report from Infovaticana, Opus Dei faces a significant internal rupture that could see it fragmented into three distinct bodies, effectively dissolving its current structure. Annika Brockschmidt guest hosts in conversation with journalist Gareth Gore, author of 'Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church.' Gareth elaborates on the historical context and modern operations of Opus Dei, including its recruitment and coercive practices. He also highlights the organization's conflicts with the Vatican and ongoing abuse allegations.

Tara dives deep into the biggest controversies the mainstream media refuses to report accurately: the Epstein files, Trump's alleged “law-breaking,” and record-breaking law enforcement results under his administration. From sealed flight logs and shocking victim accounts to Democratic governors threatening ICE without naming laws allegedly broken, Tara exposes the truth behind the headlines. The episode also highlights historic FBI and DHS arrests of violent criminals, child predators, and human traffickers, while liberal courts confirm Trump's lawful authority to deploy the National Guard. With foreign threats escalating due to political narratives, Tara untangles fact from fiction, revealing what the media and politicians hope Americans never learn.
JR Ujifusa is a Multnomah County senior deputy district attorney and heads its Human Trafficking Team. He’s also the chair of the National Advisory Committee on the Sex Trafficking of Children & Youth. His team and other partners working to eliminate trafficking and support survivors are trying to locate anyone who was trafficked on the now defunct Backpage(dot)com, which was one of the largest online prostitution sites in the world. The DA’s office wants to let survivors know there is money available to them in the form of restitution from the successful prosecution of those who profited from that trafficking. Ujifusa joins us to share more about that effort, and the progress that’s been made more broadly since he began working in this area in 2008.

Shooters will recognize it, as it is frequently allied with lead to make a harder, more durable alloy for cast bullets. We should note that lead-antimony alloys have many other uses, from lead-acid batteries to sailboat keels. Antimony is used in other alloys as well, such as antifriction alloys, electric cable sheathing, and type metals for printing presses, which apparently are not completely extinct yet. It's also used in flame retardants, and - this is key - in semiconductors. It's also has applications in pharmaceuticals. a key strategic mineral. Alaska has antimony. Now, in Alaska, a company called Nova Minerals, with a grant from the War Department, has a contract to build an antimony refinery at Port MacKenzie, west of Anchorage, to process ore from the Estelle gold mine in the West Susitna Mineral District. With Pentagon backing and a goal to begin delivering Alaska-sourced antimony into U.S. supply chains by 2027, Nova Minerals Ltd. has secured a 42.8-acre site at Port MacKenzie west of Anchorage for a refinery that would process antimony concentrates from its Estelle project and other sources."This is a defining moment for Nova Minerals and for U.S. critical mineral independence," Nova Minerals CEO Christopher Gerteisen said upon securing land use permits for the industrial site about four miles from a deepwater port in Southcentral Alaska.The refinery, to be developed by Nova subsidiary Alaska Range Resources (ARR), is part of a strategy to leverage the very high-grade antimony mineralization found on the company's Estelle project about 100 miles west of Port MacKenzie to establish a domestic supply of this metalloid critical to a wide range of military and commercial applications. Antimony is also found in Idaho and Montana. But a majority of antimony production comes from countries that are not particularly friendly to the United States: China, Russia, and Tajikistan, which, between them, account for almost 80 percent of global supply.

Financial investigators and compliance teams are increasingly “following the money” to disrupt trafficking networks rather than only relying on victim testimony. Financial Action Task Force (FATF) reports and NGO guidance show that traffickers leave traces in payments, payrolls, travel spending, prepaid cards, and layered transfers — patterns banks can detect with enhanced transaction monitoring and typology-driven red-flags. Public-interest groups and industry partnerships (for example Polaris and the Anti-Human-Trafficking Intelligence Initiative) are working with banks, card networks, and fintechs to turn those signals into actionable intelligence for law enforcement and victim services, using casework, data-sharing frameworks, and alerting pipelines so suspicious activity reports can lead to seizures or prosecutionsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonnail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this explosive episode, we connect the dots between domestic chaos, cartel operations, and international hostage deals. From alleged FBI partnerships with the Sinaloa cartel to threats against Americans and border agents, we analyze how policy, politics, and enforcement intersect with real-world violence. We also examine the controversial Middle East hostage swap, exploring why the release of over 1,700 Hamas operatives could have dire consequences despite the recovery of hostages. With insights into U.S. military positioning, election politics, and federal law enforcement history, this episode breaks down the stakes for America and the world. Expect a deep dive into: cartel influence in the U.S., border security, political narratives, election fears, and the implications of international peace deals gone wrong.
The cartel war isn't just across the border anymore — it's here. In this episode, the hosts dive into explosive revelations about FBI collusion with the Sinaloa cartel, how Democrats allegedly fueled trafficking networks, and why recent threats against Americans mark a dangerous turning point. From cartel banners in Baja California to Trump's military maneuvers in the Gulf, the conversation exposes the high stakes of dismantling cartel networks and the political battles raging around them. Listeners will also hear why critics say Democratic leaders are shielding cartel-linked illegals, how state officials like JB Pritzker are spinning federal enforcement as “attacks on democracy,” and what Trump's show of military force may signal for Venezuela and beyond. This is raw, urgent, and deeply unsettling — a glimpse into what some are calling America's third war.
In this brief episode, we reflect on and honor the source of all our praise and the fuel behind everything we do.Source file: https://youtu.be/tHp8eThI2qk?si=Ss4oo8-cpnmm3VQw

In other news, a second detainee shot in an attack on a Dallas immigration field office last week has died. 31-year old Miguel Ángel García Medina died early Tuesday morning after he was removed from life support; the Texas Stock Exchange announced on Tuesday it had won regulatory approval, achieving a major and long-awaited milestone in its quest to operate as a national exchange alongside the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq; and the Dallas Wings fired head coach Chris Koclanes after just one season. The Wings finished 10–34 and last in the league. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Howard Rubin, a retired New York financier, was indicted in September 2025 on a 10-count federal indictment alleging a decade-long sex-trafficking scheme. Prosecutors assert that between 2009 and 2019, Rubin and his former personal assistant, Jennifer Powers, recruited dozens of women—often under false pretenses—to travel to New York for commercial sex acts involving bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadomasochism, and other abuses. The indictment claims Rubin controlled a Manhattan penthouse featuring a soundproofed room dubbed “The Dungeon,” equipped with bondage gear and devices that could electrocute victims, and that he often ignored safe words, continued assaults beyond consent, and subjected victims to lasting physical and psychological harm.Alongside the trafficking charges, Rubin also faces a count of bank fraud tied to concealing over $8 million in financing while arranging a mortgage for Powers' residence. Arrested at his Connecticut home, Rubin pleaded not guilty, but a judge denied bail, citing him as both a flight risk and a danger to others. Powers was separately taken into custody in Texas. If convicted, Rubin faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years and could receive a life sentence, marking one of the most high-profile sex-trafficking prosecutions against a former Wall Street figure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Financier tied to Soros Fund accused of luring women to NYC ‘sex dungeon' | Fox News

QAnon-style trafficking myths are hurting real victims and helping nobody. Nick Pell separates trafficking fact from fiction here on Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1215On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The math doesn't add up. That viral "800,000 missing children" claim? Pure statistical sleight of hand. Most are runaways or parental custody disputes, not shadowy trafficking rings. The reality is that stranger abductions account for just one percent of kidnapping cases.Forget the Hollywood playbook. Real trafficking isn't a panel van at Walmart waiting for the perfect victim to whisk away — it's the slow burn of grooming. Predators pose as boyfriends, exploit trust, and use psychological manipulation over months.Privilege blinds us to real victims. That suburban soccer mom convinced she's a trafficking target? Statistically safer than she thinks. Actual victims tend to come from marginalized communities, LGBTQ+ youth, immigrants, and kids in foster care — people society already overlooks.Moral panic creates real harm. Trafficking hysteria spawned laws like SESTA/FOSTA that pushed sex work underground, making it more dangerous. When we chase fictional threats, we abandon real victims who need unsexy, long-term support — not rescue fantasies.Real solutions work through boring, beautiful basics. Want to actually help? Support organizations like Polaris Project that provide housing, mental health care, legal aid, and job training. One person at a time, one life rebuilt — that's how you dismantle trafficking networks for real.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

On this episode of Cut the Mic, Mike Sperrazza is joined by guest host Ron Reinstein to tackle a range of hot-button issues in politics and culture. From the troubling patterns behind recent shootings to the rhetoric surrounding Kamala Harris' VP choices, the two break down the hypocrisy, media spin, and lack of accountability that dominate today's headlines.

We look at the outsized influence of a small and secretive Catholic institution, Opus Dei, from Spain's dictator Franco, right up to the present day. And the bank it secretly controlled for sixty years: "This sounds a bit like a bit of conspiracy theory but trust me, it's very real. It's in almost every major city around the world and it's quite ruthless. It's close to the Trump regime because they share a lot of common ground." ~ Gareth Gore, journalist and author Plus: in the latest twist in the epic battle to end anonymous ownership in the United States, the US's financial regulator FinCEN has announced that only 'foreign businesses' with 'foreign owners' will now be required to report ownership information to the federal government. It's announced plans to actually delete ownership information that ‘US companies' have already submitted. We look at the options to stop the US sliding even further into a corruption abyss: "The US is making a commitment to stay at the back of the pack compared to the rest of the world." ~ Erica Hanichak, FACT Coalition Co-produced by host Naomi Fowler and Leo Schick.

Wesley Tabor Sr. grew up poor in a broken home, raised by a single mom who later married a convicted felon. Instead of following that path, Wesley became a cop and eventually joined the DEA, where he built a successful 23-year career fighting cartels, gangs, and drug traffickers. In this powerful interview, Wesley reveals how cartels smuggle drugs into the United States, the rise of violent gangs like MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Mexican Mafia, and why he believes there's no real justice in America's system. He also opens up about the DUI crash that nearly paralyzed him and almost ended his career, along with unbelievable stories from decades on the frontlines of the war on drugs. This is an unfiltered look into the dangerous world of organized crime, cartel trafficking, and the failures of the justice system—from someone who lived it every day. #DEA #Cartels #DrugTrafficking #MS13 #MexicanMafia #TrueCrimePodcast #TrendeAragua #organizedcrime Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

Murph sits down with Natasha Herzig, a survivor of human trafficking, who shares her harrowing true crime story of survival, resilience, and hope. Natasha reveals the psychological manipulation, coercion, and abuse she endured at the hands of traffickers—and the immense struggles she faced when trying to rebuild her life after escaping.

Her story shines a light on the dark reality of human trafficking, the devastating impact on survivors, and the heroism required to overcome trauma and fight for justice.
Murph catches up with Tyler Schwab, founder of Libertas International, for another talk to expose the brutal reality of human trafficking and the heroic fight to save victims. Tyler shares emotional updates on his nonprofit's work, the rescue of survivors, and the relentless challenges faced on the front lines.

Newt talks with Kevin Malone, a former Major League Baseball executive, about his journey from a successful sports career to becoming a dedicated advocate against child sex trafficking. Malone, who worked with teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and Montreal Expos, transitioned to a role as a commentator for Fox Sports and ESPN after retiring from baseball. His life took a significant turn when he and his wife moved to Las Vegas in 2018 to combat human trafficking through various nonprofit organizations. Appointed by President Trump in 2025 as a senior advisor on human trafficking for HHS, Malone leverages his experience to fight for the eradication of child sex slavery. Their discussion highlights his baseball career, his theological studies, and his commitment to protecting children from exploitation. Malone emphasizes the importance of public-private partnerships, the role of technology in combating trafficking, and the need for stronger legal actions against perpetrators. He also sheds light on the prevalence of trafficking in the U.S., the involvement of familial connections, and the urgent need for moral leadership to address this crisis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
