CannCon and Ghost take the mic on Badlands Daily to break down the post-election chaos, exposing the fraud, psyops, and power plays shaping America's political theater. From Virginia's “rigged” races to the GOP's self-sabotage, the duo calls out controlled opposition, establishment infiltration, and the media's hypnotic hold on the public. They unpack Trump's fiery call to end the filibuster, exploring how it could unlock real election reform, or reveal the GOP's true loyalties. Ghost connects the dots between domestic corruption and global manipulation, revealing how foreign money, shadow networks, and ideological warfare fuel America's decline. The episode also hits breaking stories on Judge Boasberg's impeachment threat, FBI surveillance of senators, the Israel-Gaza fallout, and Trump's bold new UN plan for a Gaza stabilization force. Sharp analysis meets unfiltered patriotism as CannCon and Ghost cut through the noise to expose how every “coincidence” points to a single truth: the system was never meant to be fixed from within.

ESSENTIEL, Le rendez-vous culture Jacques Benhamou reçoit Stéphane Koechlin pour son livre « Arthur Koestler, la fin des illusions » paru aux éditions du Cerf. À propos du livre : « Arthur Koestler, la fin des illusions » paru aux éditions Cerf Géant littéraire aux millions de lecteurs, auteur visionnaire au destin de météore, Arthur Koestler fut un écrivain adulé, haï, immense, dont la vie épousa les chaos du siècle dernier. Partisan de toutes les causes, il vit sa quête d'absolu se heurter aux grandes tragédies et son existence basculer. Devenu l'adversaire de toutes les idéologies, son engagement antitotalitaire culmina avec la publication de son maître-livre, Le Zéro et l'Infini. Parce qu'il avait tout vu. Parce qu'il avait tout dit. Voici son histoire. Tour à tour espion communiste et militant sioniste, passé par les prisons et condamné à mort, Arthur Koestler a eu mille vies. Mille vies que raconte Stéphane Koechlin dans cette biographie qui se lit comme un roman d'aventures et nous entraîne sur les pas d'un homme qui aura cherché toute sa vie une terre d'élection, un idéal politique. Un homme déchiré entre plusieurs langues, son hongrois natal, l'allemand qu'il répudiera, l'anglais, l'hébreu fantasmé. Enfin un homme libre, écrasé entre les blocs totalitaires du xxe siècle, qui s'accrochera à la littérature et déchirera le voile des illusions. Aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, la vie d'Arthur Koestler doit être racontée, et sa sagesse apprise. Acquise qu'elle fut dans les drames, les malheurs et les guerres dont nous voyons le retour aujourd'hui. Un livre capital.

Take Off the Masks: Choosing God's Reality Over Babylon's Illusions | KIB 503 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description There's a war on for your identity. In this Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake expose the spiritual "masks" the enemy uses—from sanitized cultural traditions to personal coping personas—and invite the Remnant to step into truth, transparency, and freedom in Christ. From Halloween's ancient roots to the modern pressure to "perform," we trace how unreality keeps believers stuck—and how the Holy Spirit heals, restores, and re-aligns us with God's design. We also pray for the grieving, cover the Remnant during this season, and offer practical next steps: renouncing occult doors, affirming our children's identity in Jesus, seeking wise counsel when needed, and learning to live mask-free before God and one another. "Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another." — Ephesians 4:25 (ESV) Highlights Why the Word of God is a war book—and why unreality is a weapon of the enemy Ancient and modern uses of masks (ritual, identity-shifting, and social control) The danger of "sanitized" paganism and why God says "Come out of her, my people" Parenting through cultural pressure—affirming identity in Christ Personal testimonies: fear of rejection, humor as a mask, and God's gentle dismantling Practical deliverance: renouncing doors, pleading the blood of Jesus, and wise counseling Helmet of salvation vs. masks of unreality—how to walk in truth

Nous sommes entre juillet et novembre 1836. Honoré de Balzac entreprend la rédaction de ce qui deviendra « Illusions perdues ». Roman de l'ambition, de la vocation artistique, du cynisme du monde littéraire et journalistique, de la fracture sociale et géographique. L'accueil réservé par les contemporains de l'auteur du « Père Goriot » pour ce qui allait devenir un classique de la littérature ne fut pas toujours enthousiaste. Ainsi, l'homme de lettres que fut Eusèbe Girault de Saint-Fargeau n'y voit qu'une « longue et lourde diatribe contre la province », « un roman sans action et sans intérêt ». Dans « Le Corsaire », journal des spectacles, de la littérature, des arts et des modes, il ajoute : « Ce livre, dans lequel on n'entre que comme dans un égout, ce livre tout plein de descriptions fétides, ce livre dégoûtant et cynique, est tout simplement une vengeance de M. de Balzac contre la presse ». Eusèbe était sans doute … excessif… Il n'empêche que cet ouvrage de Balzac sera assez peu réédité dans la seconde moitié du siècle, contrairement à d'autres de ses romans comme « La Peau de chagrin » ou « Eugénie Grandet ». Alors pourquoi devrions-nous lire ou relire, aujourd'hui « Illusions perdues » ? En quoi cette histoire est-elle actuelle ? C'est ce que nous allons tenter de comprendre… Invitée: Valérie André, directrice de recherche FNRS, professeure et conseillère pour la recherche en sciences humaines à l'ULB, membre de l'Académie royale de Belgique Sujets traités : Honoré de Balzac, Illusions perdues, Illusions perdues Père Goriot, littérature, classique, Eusèbe Girault de Saint-Fargeau, La Peau de chagrin, Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

LESSON 299Eternal Holiness Abides In Me.My holiness is far beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet God, my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our Will, together, understands it. And our Will, together, knows that it is so.Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine to be destroyed by sin. It is not mine to suffer from attack. Illusions can obscure it, but can not put out its radiance, nor dim its light. It stands forever perfect and untouched. In it are all things healed, for they remain as You created them. And I can know my holiness. For Holiness Itself created me, and I can know my Source because it is Your Will that You be known.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-23-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with a passionate plea about E-bike safety after observing riders ignoring stop signs and wearing inadequate helmets in Santa Cruz. She explains the physics of collisions, noting that force equals mass times acceleration, and a car hitting an E-bike rider at 20 mph delivers impact equivalent to falling from a two-story building. She emphasizes that 97% of bike fatalities in New York involved helmetless riders, and brain injuries result from the brain striking the skull twice during impact - once on the impact side and again on the opposite side during deceleration. She urges drivers to honk at helmetless riders and calls for stricter helmet law enforcement. An emailer asks about hydroxyapatite in toothpaste. Dr. Dawn traces its origins to NASA research in the 1960s by Dr. Bernard Rubin studying crystal growth for preventing bone and tooth mineral loss in astronauts. Japanese company Sangi acquired the patent and created the first hydroxyapatite toothpaste by 1980, receiving official anti-cavity recognition in 1993. Studies show it matches fluoride's cavity prevention effectiveness by filling microscopic cracks where bacteria take root. It also relieves temperature sensitivity by sealing micro-fractures in enamel that expose the dentin layer, making it especially helpful for people who clench their jaws. Researchers from UC Berkeley and the Allen Institute used electrodes and lasers to study how mouse brains process optical illusions like the Kanizsa triangle. They discovered specialized IC encoder neurons in the visual cortex that fill in missing information, creating complete shapes from partial cues. When these pattern-completing circuits activate inappropriately, they may trigger hallucinations in conditions like schizophrenia. Dr. Dawn explains that illusions occur when the brain perceives something different from actual visual input, while hallucinations create perceptions with no external stimulus. She discusses frontotemporal dementia where visual hallucinations result from protein deposits in the occipital cortex, and notes that a 2021 British Journal of Psychiatry study found hallucination rates varying from 7% in young people to 3% in those over 70. An emailer describes unbearable chronic lumbar pain with degenerative disc disease shown on MRI. Dr. Dawn emphasizes that MRI findings don't necessarily correlate with pain levels, citing shopping mall studies showing equal degenerative changes in people with and without back pain. She stresses checking for sciatica symptoms including leg pain below the knee, sensory differences between sides, calf size asymmetry, and ability to walk on tiptoes and heels. Without these red flags, the degenerative disease likely isn't causing the pain. She warns against unnecessary surgery citing frequent "failed back" syndrome when surgery for a disk image doesn't "fix" the pain. She recommends water jogging with a ski vest, McKenzie exercises, abdominal strengthening, ergonomics, removing wallets from back pockets, and alternating heat and ice therapy. She discusses mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy for pain management. A caller references Daniel Levitin's book "Your Brain on Music," discussing research using functional MRIs showing distinct brain activation patterns in musicians versus non-musicians due to integrated auditory, visual, and kinesthetic training. Dr. Dawn describes how infant brains develop from three to six layers with increasingly complex synaptic connections resembling circuit boards. She highlights a blindfold study where college students' visual cortices began responding to sound within two weeks as the auditory cortex expanded. She shares her husband's remarkable recovery demonstrating adult brain plasticity through intensive rehabilitation. Learning new musical instruments helps dementia patients by activating multiple brain regions simultaneously and improving standard cognitive test performance. A caller describes an eight-day chest cold with thick white phlegm. Dr. Dawn recommends guaifenesin as a mucus-thinning expectorant to prevent bacterial growth in respiratory secretions that serve as "bacteria chow." She emphasizes the importance of current flu, COVID, and RSV vaccinations. Secondary bacterial infections develop when bacteria colonize viral-induced mucus in the lungs and invade tissues. She advises aggressive hydration and chicken soup, which research shows helps clear mucus. Another caller provides additional information about Daniel Levitin as a musicologist, neurologist, and musician who runs the Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise laboratory at McGill University.

Investors often believe that when markets “recover,” their portfolios do too — but that's a dangerous illusion. In this episode, Lance Roberts breaks down why percentage losses and gains are not symmetrical, and how a 50% loss requires a 100% gain just to break even. We'll discuss why bear market math destroys long-term returns, how emotional investors get trapped in the “illusion of recovery,” and why managing risk during drawdowns matters more than chasing every rally. 0:19 - The First Full Trading Week of October - Action 4:11 - Markets - Overbought & Overconfident? 9:27 - Where is the Promised Recession? 12:06 - What is Supporting the Market? 15:53 - The Overall Liquidity Base is Still Flush 19:19 - Annual vs Intra-year Returns Comparison 22:18 - Understanding Losses in Bear Markets - not symmetrical 27:02 - The Math of Loss 29:32 - The Importance of Understanding the Difference Between Points & Percentages 33:49 - Why Markets Do Not Compound 34:19 - The Function of Time on Investments 39:26 - Six Strategies That Work When Markets Don't 46:48 - Preview: Trading Guide Rules from Master Investors

Abe reflects on the evolution of the industry from the early days before Facebook to the current wave of AI, sharing candid insights on what has changed — and what hasn't.The discussion covers why he views marketing as a tool rather than a goal, how clients are demanding clarity on AI use, and the ethical and legal dilemmas raised by AI training on copyrighted material. Abe also explains the dangers of chasing clicks, why every company may soon need its own private AI network, and what two decades in the field have taught him about uncertainty and adaptation. Support the show

SummaryIn this conversation, Clayton Cuteri explores the spiritual concept of Shambhala and the return of Kalki, drawing parallels between various religious beliefs regarding the second coming of a savior. He discusses the illusions surrounding the timing of these events, the signs of moral decline in society, and the significance of Shambhala as a spiritually balanced location. Cuteri emphasizes the need for unity among different faiths and the importance of honoring divine energies through the establishment of temples.Clayton's Social MediaLinkTree | TikTok | Instagram | Twitter (X) | YouTube | RumbleTimecodes00:00 - Intro01:06 - The Concept of Kalki and the Second Coming02:59 - Illusions of Time and the Return of the Messiah04:53 - Signs of Moral Decline and Prophecies08:44 - Understanding Shambhala and Its Significance10:54 - The Location of Shambhala: A New Perspective12:45 - The Prophecy of Kalki and Its Implications15:32 - The Parallels Across Religions17:51 - The Call for Unity and Divine Energy20:45 - Building Temples and Honoring the DivineIntro/Outro Music Producer: Don KinIG: https://www.instagram.com/donkinmusic/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/44QKqKsd81oJEBKffwdFfPSuper grateful for this guy ^Send Clayton a text message!Support the showNEWSLETTER - SIGN UP HERE

Comment se construisent vraiment nos carrières ? Illusion du choix, rôle caché des normes sociales, mutation paradoxale de la fonction RH… Dans le dernier épisode de Work Narratives, j'ai eu la joie d'accueillir Jean Pralong, professeur et chercheur passionné par les trajectoires professionnelles.Jean rappelle combien nos choix de vie pro sont influencés par l'environnement, les idéologies invisibles et tous ces « codes » auxquels on ne prête plus attention – un peu comme le poisson qui ignore l'eau dans laquelle il nage.Il bouscule aussi certaines idées reçues :Professionnalisation rime-t-elle forcément avec pouvoir pour les RH ? Pas si sûr…“Futur du travail” : un terme trompeur selon lui, souvent porteur d'injonctions plus que de réflexions réelles sur le travail vécu (nous avons eu un petit débat à ce sujet !)La « chance » en carrière ? Moins une question de hasard qu'une capacité à avancer, à rester ouvert et à saisir les signaux faibles, même sans carte parfaite pour s'orienter ! L'anecdote des militaires hongrois de Weick est particulièrement parlante pour illustrer cela (je n'en dis pas plus, il faut écouter l'épisode pour découvrir cette histoire !)Jean mentionne l'agentivité dans son étude, donc forcément ça m'a parlé !Bref, c'est un épisode passionnant pour réfléchir à nos parcours et appréhender différemment la façon dont les entreprises, les RH et chacun de nous « habitons » le monde du travail.Je vous souhaite une bonne écoute !Retrouvez mes textes, mon profil LinkedIn, Instagram, et le lien vers la newsletter juste ici : https://linktr.ee/valentinegatard Musique : For The Love Of - StaylooseHébergé par Ausha.

LESSON 272How Can Illusions Satisfy God's Son?.Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your Will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your Love, forever still, forever gentle and forever safe. God's Son must be as You created him.Today we pass illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams, when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell, and love will happily replace all fear.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

People wanted a superhero God, but Jesus told baffling little stories instead: “The kingdom of God is like…” Over and over, he shattered their expectations— sometimes even their hopes. What if Jesus was dangerous to how we pictured God, and even how we pictured him?

You're surrounded by illusions that feel good now but rob you later, p*** as the illusion of intimacy, video games as the illusion of achievement, processed food as the illusion of nourishment, dating apps as the illusion of choice, doom-scrolling as the illusion of connection, weed as the illusion of peace, alcohol as the illusion of confidence, and gambling as the illusion of success. In this episode, I not only name these traps and reveal how they pacify your drive and blur your path to fulfillment. I'll also show you what to do about them, how to recognize them for what they are, and how to take back control when they show up in your life. I'm not speaking from a pedestal. I spent a decade dependent on Adderall, fell into compulsive online habits, and learned the hard way that comfort isn't the cure. I share my story and the science that helped me rebuild, how turning toward pain, not away from it, forged discipline, resilience, and a more meaningful life.You'll leave with a simple lens: when a craving hits, ask, “What deep, meaningful work am I avoiding right now?” Then we use that signal to take one honest step today. If you're ready to trade sedation for purpose and choose the difficult thing on purpose, press play.Support the show

The United Shenanigans of America: Unmasking the Illusions of FreedomIn the first part of a five-part series titled 'The United Shenanigans of America: The Narcissistic Cult of Consciousness,' the host explores the concept of freedom in America, arguing that it is a facade masking deep systemic issues akin to cult-like indoctrination. The discussion covers the illusion of freedom, consumerism, the euphemistic language used to control society, and the diminishing value of true human connection. The series, which led to ORRA The Informationalist permanent ban from TikTok, aims to uncover the reality behind America's societal structures, challenging listeners to question their perceptions of freedom, productivity, and self-worth. The episode concludes with a promise to delve deeper into societal issues in subsequent episodes.00:00 Introduction to the United Shenanigans of America01:32 The Facade of Freedom04:55 The Cult of American Exceptionalism10:58 The Euphemism Economy18:28 Digital Chains and Social Media23:41 Conclusion and Next Episode PreviewBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/network-of-awareness--4447646/support.

Sam decides to throwback to his roots with a recap of the 1994 banger Highlander III: The Sorcerer. Or The Final Dimension. Or The Final Conflict. You decide. Which is actually Highlander II because it doesn't believe in aliens. Anyway, when Connor MacLeod…you know what, it doesn't matter because this is the exact plot of the first movie but with less Sean Connery, more Japanese trapeze artists, and ILLUSIONS. Did you think there could be only one? We're sorry, apparently there are more. Picture, if you will, MacLeod training with Ramirez (Mako) but with ILLUSIONS. MacLeod taking on The Kurgan (Mario Van Peebles) but with ILLUSIONS. MacLeod romancing (RIP) Brenda (Deborah Kara Unger) but with ILLUSIONS (and archeology). Adopted child? Check. Bad guy with road rage? Check. Fight on the catwalk (on the catwalk)? Check. The Quickening? Check. Yes, that's right. The Quickening is back and…better than ever? You thought MacLeod was the last immortal? Sucker. There are immortals for days. Immortals all over the place. Immortals you, and The Quickening, didn't even know existed. Join Danielle as she fails to recall the first movie entirely, which is fine since Sam goes on to recap it again for two hours, but now with special guest Filip from Mind Duck Books, because much like The Quickening…he's back, baby! Special thanks to friend of the pod and honorary co-host Filip from Mind Duck Books for joining us on this thrilling journey!

The 1960s gave us some of the most legendary science fiction ever written… but many incredible novels were completely ignored by the Hugos, the Nebulas, and every other major award. In this episode, Jim dives deep into the data — sales numbers, Goodreads/StoryGraph/Amazon ratings, and critical reviews — to uncover 20 sci-fi gems from the 1960s that were beloved by fans and critics alike, yet received zero recognition from the awards committees.From lost generation-ship societies to dying Earth jungles, from satirical military adventures to techno-thrillers that changed the genre forever — these are the novels that deserve a place on your bookshelf.✨ If you're looking for your next great read in science fiction, start here.
