Podcasts about Imprisonment

The body of UCC models being the body today, as Marty leads us through the communal reading of five passages of scripture, and helps us reflect upon each. What do we do with passages that suggest that disciples of Jesus will suffer? Face persecution? Imprisonment? Death? Indeed…What do we do with that?

This is part two of Henrik's story. You can hear the first part in episode 307. https://coldwarconversations.com/episode307 It's the late 1980s and Henrik and his friends plan to escape from East Germany via Czechoslovakia. Henrik provides a very vivid account of their discovery by Czechoslovak border guards in a forest near the Austrian border. He describes the moment the guards open fire to get them to stop. Henrik is separated from his friends and held in various Czechoslovak prisons, before being flown back to East Germany. There he is interrogated for a number of months before being placed on trial. After his conviction for Republikflucht or "desertion from the republic" he is held on in a rough criminal prison in Dresden before being moved to a work camp. The prison and work camp has two types of prisoners, politicals and criminals. There he is exposed to the hardcore criminals of the GDR, violent criminals, murderers and neo-Nazis. 0:00 Introduction and recap of the previous episode 1:31 Interview with Henrik: Early plans and journey to Czechoslovakia 7:40 Arrest on the border and early imprisonment experiences 17:21 Transfer to Prague and encounter with the East German Stasi 28:23 Arrival at the Secret Service prison in Dresden and coping in prison 46:59 Interrogations and dealing with the Stasi 1:00:18 Family visits, communication in prison, and considering a change of mind 1:13:08 Reflections on the Stasi's approach and trial 54:36 Life in remand prison and public humiliation during transport to Rakowitz work camp 1:00:06 Living conditions, daily life, and experiences in Rakowitz work camp 1:10:54 Announcement of amnesty and release from prison 1:14:00 Post-release observations on the social climate in East Germany 1:23:18 Closing remarks and outro Extra episode information https://coldwarconversations.com/episode308 Special thanks to Jonny Whitlam for introducing Henrik to CWC.

Philippians 1:12-18a. From the "Reaching Forward: Philippians" sermon series. Preached by Jody Killingsworth.

When Martin Luther King Jr. penned his Letter From a Birmingham City Jail in April 1963, he joined a long tradition of Christians who wrote letters and books while in jail, including John Bunyan, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and most notably, the apostle Paul. This month we will be studying Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon, all letters the apostle wrote as a prisoner in Rome. At that time, people were sent to prison not as punishment, but to await trial and possible execution. When Paul wrote these letters, he was most likely serving a two-year “house arrest” (Acts 28:30). This meant he was able to live in a rented residence, though in chains and guarded. This was not Paul’s first arrest. Imprisonment was so much a part of Paul’s Christian experience that he included it on his resume. In 2 Corinthians 11:5 he began his defense by claiming that he was not inferior to those whom others may view as “super-apostles” or perhaps better translated as “eminent” or “chief apostles.” To support this assertion, Paul reluctantly listed some of his accomplishments (vv. 22–29), including his frequent imprisonment. We tend to look at a church’s size and budget as evidence of God at work. The apostle Paul recognized that God works through weakness. For this reason, Paul wrote, “If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness” (v. 30). You may be surprised to find that the letters we will be studying this month are some of Paul’s most joyful. Yet Paul wrote them while under house arrest in Rome. Instead of curtailing his ministry, this imprisonment allowed Paul to articulate some of the deepest theology in the New Testament. >> What appears to us to be a setback is often an open door. We do not need a large platform to make an impact on those around us. As we make ourselves available, God will work through us even in the most confining circumstances.

Grounds for divorce are regulations specifying the circumstances under which a person will be granted a divorce. Adultery is the most common grounds for divorce. However, there are countries that view male adultery differently than female adultery as grounds for divorce. Before decisions on divorce are considered, one might check into state laws and country laws for legal divorce or separation as each culture has stipulations for divorce. Grounds for divorce. Cruel and inhuman treatment constitute grounds for divorce. In a proper defense, acceptable differences enable the defendant to have the ability to arrange grounds for divorce. Some examples for grounds for divorce are: Sexual harassment, Attendant circumstance, Adulter, Alcoholism, Disability, Desertion, Imprisonment, and Domestic violence (Including physical, sexual, or mental abuse of the other spouse and or the child or children of the couple.) The spouse that is responsible for committing these allegations is required to confirm the correct date and place that the allegations were committed. The reason for the spouse to confirm the allegations is to show proof that the allegations have taken place in the same state. The state then has to have the authority to administer justice by hearing and determining the controversies. Different states accept different grounds for divorce. For example, some states only accept no-fault divorce where other states accept both fault and no-fault grounds for divorce. No-fault divorce is the dissolution of a marriage that does not require a showing of wrongdoing by either party. Laws providing for no-fault divorce allow a family court to grant a divorce in response to a petition by either party of the marriage without requiring the petitioner to provide evidence that the defendant has committed a breach of the marital contract. History. In early modern Europe, Prussia took a pioneering role with Frederick the Great's 1757 edict allowing marriages to be resolved on the ground of serious and continuous hostility between spouses, without pointing to any one guilty party. This early example of no-fault divorce was expanded on and formalized with the 1794 General State Laws for the Prussian States, which allowed childless couples to file for divorce without giving a ground. The first modern no-fault divorce law was enacted in Russia in December 1917 following the October Revolution of the same year. Regarding marriage as a bourgeois institution, the new government transferred divorce jurisdiction from the Russian Orthodox Church to the state courts, which could grant it on application of either spouse. Alimony guarantees under the new regime were weak until a new family code was passed in 1926. With a law adopted in 1969, California became the first U.S. state to permit no-fault divorce. California's law was framed on a roughly contemporaneous effort of the non-governmental organization National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, which began drafting a model of no-fault divorce statute for states to consider in 1967. The Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act (UMDA) is a model law in the United States and has been used since 1970. Australia established no-fault divorce in 1975, with the only ground for divorce being irretrievable breakdown of marriage, evidenced by a twelve-month separation. Canada effectively permitted no-fault divorce in 1986 by reducing the separation period to one year. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

   Slam the Gavel welcomes Keisha Daniel back to the podcast. Keisha was last on the podcast November 6th, 2022, Season 3, November 20th, 2022, Episode 148 and Episode 157 and Season 4, Episodes 4, 100 and 111. Keisha has been going through unspeakable crimes and retaliation in order to silence her in Birmingham, Alabama.     It all started when she was threatened with incarceration by Magistrate A. Teele while getting fingerprints done for her job while at the courthouse. Keisha did not keep quiet about this harassment. This is her story of CORRUPTION only NIGHTMARES are made of.    Her story is multifaceted and involves MANY Child Psychological Abusers who have abducted her child from her and gave her daughter to the father in order to get the father off of Child Support. Keisha has raised her child on her own for 7 1/2 years and that all changed with jealousy and envy from several Whores of the Court. Keisha started out with Judge Alisha Ruffin MayJefferson County, Birmingham Division-10th Circuit Court of Alabama; she was the one who took Keisha's baby away stating, "No need to cry for your baby, you shouldn't have left her alone!" This was yet another lie.     We all had high hopes for Judge Alan Summers, Jefferson County District Court in Alabama and his current term ENDS January 2025. Everyone can hear the lies and hear the recording. If he's such a "great father," where was he for the last 7 1/2 years of the baby's life?    They gave Keisha a Court Appointed Attorney, Derrick Forbes, who instructed Keisha to give a public apology to all these individuals. That was not happening.       Keisha is waiting for them to return her child to her. Her case is filled with jealousy, envy, harassment, imprisonment and lies in order to keep her child away from her and with a father that really has no interest in the child. Such is Family Court not only globally but in Birmingham Alabama.      Keisha has finished her 2nd book that can be found on Amazon, "The Love of a Mother and The Heartfelt Prayers of a Child," by Keisha Daniel. Her first book is, "The Third Baby Momma."To Reach Keisha Daniel: keishaedaniel30@gmail.com and and  JustUSManiac on YouTube @fightforjustice41 on TikTok This episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

"What can my enemies do to me? I have in my breast both my heaven and my garden. If i travel they are with me, never leaving me. Imprisonment for me is a chance to be alone with my Lord. To be killed is martyrdom and to be exiled from my land is a spiritual journey...." Ibn Taymiyyah

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was recently welcomed to the White House by US President Joe Biden. In addition to a State Dinner held in his honor, Modi was given opportunity to address a joint session of Congress. Noticeably absent from American leaders' public remarks surrounding Modi's visit: the rapid rise of Christian persecution and other religious freedom violations in India since Modi and his Hindu nationalist party came to power in 2014. Christians in India face harassment, physical assault and arrest from radical Hindus who believe all Indians should be Hindu. Multiple Indian states have passed anti-conversion laws which make it a crime to tell a Hindu about Jesus' love. This week on VOM Radio, Brother Raj, a ministry leader from India, shares his own experience with Christian persecution, including friends that turned their backs on him after he came to faith and repeated encounters with Indian police. He'll also tell how he grew up in a Hindu family but became depressed and attempted suicide before a friend—a Hindu—encouraged him to seek baptism at a Christian church. A pastor at the church gave Raj a Bible, and his journey to finding Jesus began. Listen as Raj shares how his life changed from that moment on and what his parents' reaction was to his newfound Christian faith, how God called him to ministry and what his gospel work looks like today. As persecution has grown in India, Raj's ministry work has changed, too. Listen to learn how he and other Christian leaders train and encourage new believers to be ready to face persecution by trusting in God's promises in the Bible, understanding pressure tactics they may face and learning how to confront these tactics wisely. Raj will also tell how God used his own time of persecution to eliminate fear of sharing his faith with others. Now, he shares Christ with anyone – even the police. Pray fellow believers in India will share their faith with wisdom and courage. Pray they would even be able to see opportunities to share Christ's love even during interrogation or imprisonment.

In this episode we focus on the experiences and voices of children affected by maternal imprisonment. So often children are kept in the dark about what is happening, or their views and wishes are overlooked. This episode contains the voices of children who have been affected alongside professionals working to improve the support available.We hear from Farhana and Tiff who have both been personally affected by their mother going to prison and have also written blogs on this topic for One Small Thing. They both describe experiences of being ignored and overlooked by the professionals around them.We also speak to Sarah Beresford, Prison Reform Trust Associate and Churchill Fellow who explains how Child Impact Assessments can equip adults and services to listen more closely to the needs of children with mothers in the criminal justice system. A full podcast episode with Sarah can be accessed here.We hear from Sarah Burrows, founder of Children Heard and Seen, a charity she set up to support children and families affected by parental imprisonment. A full podcast episode on Children Heard and Seen can be accessed here. Sarah speaks about their important work, as well as the new Operation Paramount - a partnership with Thames Valley Violence Reduction Unit and Police which is the first-ever mechanism to identify children when their parent goes to prison.

Who's to blame for the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes creator Jamila Webb (First Fifteen LA) to get to the bottom of who's to blame for the decades long imprisonment of political and human rights activist/icon Nelson Mandela. What took so long to free Nelson Mandela?! Was this the work of The National Party? Did The CIA have something to do with it? Or perhaps it was the dreaded Communism of the times.

ACTs abrupt turn on the youth justice age has been described as cynical, a backward step and exploiting fear. The party wants 17 year old offenders put back into the adult court system, reversing a policy championed by the last National led government, and legislation ACT supported at the time. Currently, 17 year olds who commit serious offences like murder and sexual assaults can still be dealt with by the adult court. But ACT now believes dropping the age was a mistake, and that at 17, offenders are old enough to be aware of the consequences of breaking the law, and should be held account . ACT Party leader, David Seymour, spoke to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6330906636112

What does Jose Ruben Zamora's arrest signify for Guatemala's crackdown on dissent? Journalist Jose Ruben Zamora, the president of Guatemalan newspaper El Periódico, was arrested almost a year ago. He's reported on 144 investigative pieces about corruption in the Guatemalan government, led by President Alejandro Giammatei. Now he's potentially facing 40 years in prison for what Guatemala's government says is money laundering. The Committee to Protect Journalists has called Zamora's detention “unwarranted.” And many government critics are saying this is part of a broader crackdown on anyone working to uncover corruption.

     Slam the Gavel welcomes back Alisha Clark Walker to the podcast. She was last on the podcast Season 4, Episode 65 on March 29, 2023. Alisha Walker, Pro Se Litigant  has been going through a very troubling child custody case from upstate New York where multiple judges have violated several parts of her FIRST AMENDMENT rights which are her right to choose a religion, her right to freely assemble and her right to speak freely.     Alisha had full custody until May of 2019. Unfortunately this custody order was switched at a custody hearing when Judge Catherine Cholakis GAVE full custody to the father, a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER. Judge Cholakis claimed that due to Alisha's Buddhist beliefs that the mother would not take the children to the doctor's office.    Playing along with Supervised Visitations till the father recused EVERY SUPERVISOR put forth EXCEPT himself. The mother no longer enacted supervised visitation for two reasons which are the father would CHANGE HIS MIND on a WHIM and CANCEL Supervised visitations and new details came out that the father actually SEXUALLY ASSAULTED A SUPERVISOR. The victim TESTIFIED to this at trial.     WORSE YET, she is currently barred and will be for almost TWO MORE YEARS from even seeing two of her children. Alisha provided part of the temporary order signed by the infamous Judge Anthony McGinty.     Alisha gave us an update on her case where she is now HELD IN CONTEMPT OF COURT for not being able to pay $139,000.00 within 60 days or will be IMPRISONED by Judge Anthony McGinty. However, Judge McGinty gave her an indigent status PRIOR to this order.  Alisha knows this is retaliation for being exposed for a retaliatory order. WHO WOULD DO THIS TO THE MOTHER OF THEIR CHILDREN?  THE TAXPAYER NEEDS TO KNOW THIS IS WHAT GOES ON IN FAMILY COUR WITH THIS JUDGE MCGINTY. There is lack of JUDICIAL ACCOUNTABLILTY as well as with ATTORNEYS, Leslie Silva. Alisha has issued a PRESS RELEASE that can be found in the podcast notes. Alisha had filed a Federal Court Case: Walker v. McGinty in 2022 and Federal Court of course dismissed it before it was even heard. We discussed the pattern of the Federal Courts. You can see the press release and files in the podcast notes and her case will be followed on SLAM THE GAVEL.PRESS RELEASE: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p1lcAUapNP-1Y2ozVj09XzlHzrx5bz1e4dHkZGLD9hU/edit?usp=sharing_eil_m&ts=6475f513To reach Alisha: Facebook and alishaclark@me.comThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

Twelve years ago, Ryan Stewman launched the Hardcore Closer Podcast.  At that time in his life, he was working in sales..........his whole world was sales.   The inception of the Hardcore Closer brand came during a mortgage closing at a local title company and the woman handed her card to Ryan and on it said her name and her title........."Closer."  At the time, this made Ryan laugh partly cause he was drunk and partly because "Betty" at the title company was a paper-pushing facilitator and not a true closer.  Ryan was a closer when he was in the mortgage and automotive industries.  When the salespeople couldn't get a "yes" they would send Ryan in to seal the deal.  He started working with people in the mortgage industry, and real estate helping them generate leads, build funnels, build CRMs, and taught them the systems and processes necessary to follow up like a boss, have more conversations, close more sales and make more money.  As intended, human beings evolve.  At this point in life, Ryan has become more than just a salesperson.  Sales got him to the place where he had enough experience, and proof of concept and he's taught thousands of people the strategies and tactics that helped him become a multi-millionaire.  And he kept evolving. He's written books.  Spoken on stages.  Attracted a killer staff, helped other entrepreneurs grow and scale their companies, and this has made him something different........the example, and now, a leader.  In this episode, Ryan does a deep dive into the inception of the Hardcore Closer Brand, some of the journeys he's taken along the way, and a detailed outline of what transformation looks like moving forward.  As you know, most things don't go away, they just get good.  #RiseAbove    How to Get Involved: This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction. Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction,  Imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being.

Most people say "I can't do X" (X representing their goals) because of "Y," Y representing their excuses.  I've heard people say I can't do life the way I want because I'm a convicted felon.  I can't become rich because I was raised poor.  They use excuses like: Divorce.  Abuse.  Imprisonment.  The stock market crash of 2008. (Yes, there are some people still blaming this as the major downfall in their lives.)  The way you break through is by plowing through those excuses.  If you are still here, it means you have a chance to turn it all around.  In those dark moments, that's where you find your power.  Your true calling.  Fight for that and remove the excuses that keep you stuck. You can't change the past, but you can surpass your expectations of it as long as you can get focused on your X, remove your Y, and get to the Z.

We say it a lot here on the show, but the 1960s was an era unique for its sheer volume of uninformed drug-induced white guy fuckery. Emblematic of said fuckery was Dr. John C. Lilly, who was real into dolphins and LSD and giving dolphins LSD when he wasn't floating in an isolation tank trying to miraculously make it even further up his own ass. Fortunately the '70s and '80s came along, and everybody got their shit together hahahahahaha just kidding. One guy did get an idea to put on a rainbow afro wig and cram some Jesus into televised sports though: Rollen Stewart gained a kind of fame, then a kind of infamy, and finally a free ticket to life without parole for his trouble. Fortunately he also inspired one of the greatest early '90s SNL sketches ever made.Content warning: There is some deeply upsetting stuff about dolphins in here. Also there's a hostage situation in a motel room during which no dolphins are harmed.

Michael Jones: Man of the Community and Advocate for Financial Security  Federal Regulators Force Abrupt Bank Shutdown If you're reading this, you might be freaking out a bit, especially with the Feds taking over and shutting down the Silicon Valley Bank a couple of weeks ago. But, everything you see that comes to a head is usually rooted in decisions made.....sometimes good and sometimes shit......SVBG failed due to bad decisions with cash, such as investing in Treasury bonds and not being able to give it out on demand. Banks around the world are struggling with the mismanagement of cash. The biggest banks are too big to fail, but smaller mid-market tier banks are offering safe havens for business owners to store their money. These banks use ICS and Cedar accounts to spread the money across multiple banks in a network to ensure the funds are safe Michael Jones is my personal banker and I've been working with him for years.  He is involved in the community, running for city council in McKinney, TX, managing an economic development board with a budget of $22 million, and managing a restaurant that employs adults with special needs.   What You'll Learn: People are now looking to use CDEs, ICS accounts, and other banking programs to protect their money instead of making more interest off it. Banks are tightening credit due to the pandemic and blockchain technology is being used to digitally store titles. Michael Jones is involved in the community and running for city council in McKinney, TX, managing an economic development board with a budget of $22 million, and managing a restaurant that employs adults with special needs.                                   Cash used to mean freedom for most people. It was not traceable and quite frankly, is still widely used and preferred to this day by many people. But there's an issue.....the Government can't track you the way they want to.   They want to be in your lives.  All the way in.  So, one way to control you is to control your money. Everything is tracked, accounted for, and if they have to in some cases, it will be rationed.  Right now there are a lot of people up in arms due to realizing there may be things they have to do they can't control.  This episode is going to give you a little insight into what you can expect and the reason the banks are going through a transition right now.    How to Get Involved: This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction.

Understanding the Federal Reserve and How to Protect Your Money in the Digital Age In 1913, JP Morgan and others established the Federal Reserve, a private banking institution that controls monetary policy and loans trillions of dollars to the US government each year. Banks are allowed to loan out 10 times more money than they have on hand, and larger financial institutions are buying up assets and liquidating them at prices they decide. The government is buying up assets from a tech-driven bank and media reports can easily trick people into withdrawing their money. It's better to have money in larger banks since the government will protect it, and it is important to keep track of where your money is and use silica packs to protect it if you're keeping it at home. We're headed towards a digital currency which could come with some control issues, but it looks like it's inevitable. Key Lessons Banks are allowed to loan out 10 times more money than they have on hand. Larger financial institutions are buying up assets and liquidating them at prices they decide. Protecting your money may require using silica packs if you're keeping it at home. Summary A financial expert explains how the banking system works, how it affects people and stock prices, and suggests that people stack their cash for the next six months in order to prepare for potential financial losses. In 1913, JP Morgan and other tycoons met on Jekyll Island, Georgia, to establish the Federal Reserve, a private banking institution that was a major trick on U.S. citizens. Before 1913, communication was slow, so the government wasn't able to react quickly to the Federal Reserve's decisions. The Federal Reserve is not a federal institute but tells the government how much money to print The Federal Reserve creates and controls monetary policy, loaning trillions of dollars to the US government each year. Bank of America borrows money from the Fed at a 5% interest rate, which is used to pay the national debt. Banks are able to loan out 10X more money than they have on hand by getting a "banking license" from the Fed This process has led to some banks making bad decisions with their money, and the US government has had to bail out banks twice since I've been alive. Banks are being bought up by larger financial institutions, like Blackstone and Blackrock, and then they liquidate the assets at prices they decide to give to people with large amounts of money. Smaller people with money are also receiving offers to buy assets at discounted prices, showing that the bigger play is something to be wary of The government is buying up assets from a tech-driven bank, likely as a way to control the flow of information on tech sites. People reacted to media reports of the bank's potential failure by withdrawing their money, which caused a run on the bank. People were also fooled into buying unnecessary amounts of toilet paper due to media reports This shows how easy it is for the media and government to collude. Air is the only free thing on the planet, and if there is a threat to your money, it is better to have it in a larger bank like Bank of America, Chase, or Wells Fargo, as the government will protect it if it is taken.
