00:00:00 – Cold Open, Korn & Alex Jones Warm-up Loose banter about Korn and 90s heavy music crashes into the weekly “Alex Jones Clips of the Week,” plus Mike's insomnia saga and general show setup. 00:10:00 – AJ Soundboard Frenzy & Vibes Check More Jones drops, jokes about other podcasts reusing clips, and a running gag about “morale and vibes” being in freefall; tee-up for a Charlie Kirk deep-dive. 00:20:00 – Snake Eyes & Synchros They compare the Snake Eyes (1998) assassination scene to the alleged Kirk shooting—date matches, name rhymes, “enough is enough” thumbnails—then trot out the Illuminati card game coincidences. 00:30:00 – Drones, Bugs, and Bad Physics Viewer-found “drones” in crowd footage spark analysis; the crew pushes back (could be bugs/low-res artifacts) and calls out recoil physics; attention shifts to a suspicious jet track over Utah. 00:40:00 – The HADES Jet Theory A Bombardier “AXLE-10” Army spy jet allegedly flies low/slow pre-event and returns near time of the attack; theory suggests it deployed/recovered drones.

Then: profile of inmates thriving in remote software jobs from inside prison. 02:00:00 – Sign-off & Condiment Callbacks Loose wrap with callbacks (soy sauce, mayo, condiments), plugs, and a goofy “skyscrapers & jazz” riff headed into the outro.

By David Stephen who looks at Human Intelligence in this article. How does learning new things, regularly, become easier? What is the mix for mastery - or its variations - to boost problem-solving, creativity, innovation and understanding? Why are adequate facilities and instructors no guarantees for universal education? What are the limits of human intelligence that AI tutors of present-day may not change? There is a new [September 12, 2025] story by The Associated Press, Google's top AI scientist says 'learning how to learn' will be next generation's most needed skill, stating that, "One thing we'll know for sure is you're going to have to continually learn … throughout your career." AI Tutor Learning new and unfamiliar things, for humans, is generally tough. Why? Probably because of how human intelligence [or its source] works. Even the best explanations, from the best instructors, with the best examples, facilities, practical and so forth, are not equal to the emergence of expertise, in the same instance. Those may also not be followed by creativity, problem-solving, innovation, understanding or even the ability to later recall. This means that the challenges of learning are beyond another new facility, when [the way] human intelligence [works] remains unknown. Even if the pace of learning - or other aspects of it - does not change, if there is, at least, a probable chart on how human intelligence works, it could lead to learning designs, for what to optimize, for certain outcomes. How does an individual learn if the focus is problem-solving? Would it be different if the focus is to be certified? How might that contrast learning for creativity, innovation or understanding? How should human intelligence pivot now, with AI, having the capacity to do many of what human intelligence can do? How should learning be sculpted, not only for some outcomes, but to outcompete [if that's even possible] AI? Sketching Human Intelligence What are the components of human intelligence in the brain? How do they interact and relay for outcomes like problem-solving, creativity, innovation and understanding? What activities are likelier to result in those, and how much time is necessary? First, it is postulated that electrical and chemical signals are the configurators of intelligence, in the human brain. This postulation is derived from empirical neuroscience, establishing that all functions of the brain [for human experiences], are mechanized by neurons - with their electrical and chemical signals. Neurons, according to neuroscience, are also in clusters. Secondly, it is postulated that electrical and chemical signals interact, in sets, to result in functions. Sets of signals are proposed to be available in clusters of neurons. There are also states that signals are, that determine the extents of interactions. There are specifications for interactions - and attributes - for intelligence. This is where progress is, to have it displayed, and used to prospect pathways for prioritized learning outcomes. Advancing education in the AI era There is a new [September 12, 2025] report by CBC, N.L.'s 10-year education action plan cites sources that don't exist, stating that, "A major report on modernizing the education system in Newfoundland and Labrador is peppered with fake sources some educators say were likely fabricated by generative artificial intelligence (AI). Released last month, the Education Accord NL final report, a 10-year roadmap for improving the province's public schools and post-secondary institutions, includes at least 15 citations for non-existent journal articles and documents. In one case, the report references a 2008 movie from the National Film Board called Schoolyard Games. The film doesn't exist, according to a spokesperson for the board. But the exact citation used in the report can be found in a University of Victoria style guide - a document that clearly lists fake references designed as templates for researchers writing a...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, the conversation around free speech has taken a sharp and troubling turn. ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live off the air. The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra may be facing more than just rehearsals and concerts this fall. Musicians have voted overwhelmingly — more than 97 percent — in favour of authorizing a strike against the Vancouver Symphony Society. In Dildo, Newfoundland, where Jimmy Kimmel is honourary mayor, some residents worry about U.S. free speech after Kimmel's show was pulled off the air. Learn more about your ad choices.

At its peak around 1712, New France was a vast territory in North America that stretched from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay down to the Gulf of America. This immense territory was divided into five main colonies: Canada, Acadia, Newfoundland, Hudson Bay, and Louisiana—encompassing the vast interior of today’s United States, including the Mississippi River valley. However, French settlement was sparse, making New France an enormous zone of influence rather than a densely populated area. New France’s government under the French Crown consisted of a Sovereign Council consisting of three major officials: a Governor General, an Intendant and a Bishop, and a number of minor officials, including five councilors, an attorney-general and a clerk. The Sovereign Council was to be the sole governing authority in the colony and the intermediary between the king in France and his overseas subjects in New France.

The MPs are back in Ottawa and already the big question on Parliament Hill is whether or not the government will survive the budget vote later this fall. Just a few seats short of a majority, Mark Carney's Liberals still require the support (or abstention) of at least one other party in the House of Commons. Do any of those parties have an incentive to go back to the polls sooner rather than later?This week on The Numbers, we break down the current state of the polls and what they say about the stability of this Parliament. We also discuss the newly-launched Newfoundland and Labrador election campaign, Bonnie Crombie's resignation as leader of the Ontario Liberals and some provincial polling numbers from coast to coast.Looking for even more of The Numbers?

The Green Bay Copper-Gold Project currently hosts a Mineral Resource prepared and disclosed in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code 2012) and Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) of 24.4Mt of Measured and Indicated Resources at 1.9% for 460Kt CuEq and 34.5Mt of Inferred Resources at 2% for 690Kt CuEq.

Interview with Keith Boyle, CEO of New Found Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/new-found-golds-strategic-maritime-resources-acquisition-building-canadas-next-gold-producerRecording date: 15th September 2025New Found Gold Corp. has strategically strengthened its leadership team with three key appointments that position the company for its transition from developer to producer following the Maritime Resources acquisition. The headline appointment sees Dr. Andrew Furey, former Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, joining the board of directors, bringing unparalleled political connections and regulatory expertise to guide operations in the province where both Hammerdown and Queensway projects are located. CEO Keith Boyle emphasized the strategic value, noting that "the political world and all those connections really do help a business and that oversight, making sure that we advance in the right way, that's gold."The operational leadership team has been enhanced with the appointment of Hashim Ahmed as CFO, bringing proven experience from Mandalay Resources and Jaguar Mining, and the promotion of Robert Assabgui to COO, leveraging his decades of mining engineering experience including successful development of Hudbay's Lalor mine. These appointments address the sophisticated financial and operational requirements as New Found Gold manages both Hammerdown's production ramp-up starting in early 2026 and Queensway's C$155 million Phase 1 development.The leadership expansion builds on the Maritime acquisition's strategic rationale, which Boyle described as creating synergies where "Maritime's got a nice little gold mine operation coming into production later this year and that gold production will help fund phase one of the Queensway project." With Hammerdown projected to contribute approximately C$70 million in cash flow and Queensway Phase 1 targeting 69,300 ounces annually, the enhanced team provides the expertise needed to achieve the company's objective of "cracking the 200,000-ounce mark." The appointments collectively reduce political, operational, and financial risks while positioning New Found Gold to capitalize on district-scale exploration opportunities across its expanded Newfoundland land position in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction.—Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/new-found-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In The Sideways Life of Denny Voss, Holly Kennedy brings humor & heart to a neurodivergent hero, sharing how Lake Union Publishing shaped her journey.What happens when good intentions collide with messy realities? In The Sideways Life of Denny Voss, Holly Kennedy introduces us to Denny, an unforgettable, neurodivergent character whose big heart and distinct voice make him a narrator you'll want to follow anywhere… even into a goose-napping, an accidental bank robbery, and now a murder trial.In this conversation, Holly and I talk about the long road it took to trust her voice enough to bring Denny's story into the world, the challenges of writing authentically from a neurodivergent perspective, and the unique publishing journey she's experienced with Lake Union.And yes, we dig into how timely themes like gun violence filter through Denny's television obsessions and what it means to write a novel that feels both tender and topical today.In our warm conversation, Holly and I discussed:

From Nevis to Newfoundland, Catholics were everywhere in English America. But often feared and distrusted, they hid in plain sight, deftly obscuring themselves from the Protestant authorities. Their strategies of concealment, deception, and misdirection frustrated colonial census takers, and their presence has likewise eluded historians of religion, who have portrayed Catholics as isolated dots in an otherwise vast Protestant expanse. Pushing against this long-standing narrative, in A Common Grave: Being Catholic in English America (UNC Press, 2025) Dr. Susan Juster provides the first comprehensive look at the lived experience of Catholics—whether Irish, African, French, or English—in colonial America. She reveals a vibrant community that, although often forced to conceal itself, maintained a rich sacramental life saturated with traditional devotional objects and structured by familiar rituals. As Dr. Juster shows, the unique pressures of colonial existence forced Catholics to adapt and transform these religious practices. By following the faithful into their homes and private chapels as they married, christened infants, buried loved ones, and prayed for their souls, Juster uncovers a confluence of European, African, and Indigenous spiritual traditions produced by American colonialism. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. You can find Miranda's interviews on New Books with Miranda Melcher, wherever you get your podcasts.

Interview with Jeff Swinoga, President & CEO, Exploits Discovery Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/inside-exploits-discoverys-csenfld-new-growth-strategy-4m-cash-680k-oz-gold-3-provinces-7217Recording date: 9th September 2025Exploits Discovery Corp. has completed a remarkable strategic repositioning that transforms the company from a resource-light Newfoundland explorer into a diversified Canadian gold company with substantial assets and compelling valuation metrics. The transformation positions the junior miner to capitalize on the current favorable gold price environment, with gold reaching $3,600 per ounce.The cornerstone of this transformation was the strategic sale of Newfoundland assets to New Found Gold for $7 million in upfront shares plus an additional $1.8 million upon delivery of remaining properties, along with a 1% net smelter return royalty. This transaction created immediate shareholder value while allowing management to focus on higher-potential assets.Most significantly, Exploits Discovery went from zero resources to controlling 680,000 ounces of gold across four high-quality properties in just four months. The flagship Hawkins property in Ontario hosts 300,000 ounces in the McKinnon zone within a 60-kilometer property package near Timmins. The property benefits from established infrastructure and was discovered by Don McKinnon, co-founder of the successful Hemlo gold mine.Complementing the Ontario resource base are three Quebec properties under option from Cartier Resources, offering exceptional high-grade exploration upside. The Fenton property has delivered impressive results including 356 grams per tonne gold over 6 meters, while the Wilson property features similar high-grade chimney-style mineralization.From a valuation perspective, the company presents a compelling opportunity with approximately $10-11 million in treasury value against a current market capitalization of just $9 million, creating an immediate discount to net asset value. Combined with $3.6 million in cash and backing from Eric Sprott's 14% shareholding, the company has substantial financial flexibility to pursue aggressive exploration without near-term dilution pressure.The systematic exploration approach across both jurisdictions, supported by an experienced technical team including property-specific experts, positions Exploits Discovery for multiple value creation catalysts in the favorable gold market environment.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/exploits-discoverySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Jerry went there to catch up with the Canadians, now married with children and talk to them about the journey the message in the bottle has taken them on.

In July 1992 the Canadian government banned cod fishing along Newfoundland's east coast in an effort to help restore cod stocks that had been depleted due to overfishing. The moratorium was supposed to last 18 months but ended up being extended indefinitely. The collapse of the industry ended nearly five centuries of cod fishing, led to the largest industrial layoff in Canada, devastated Newfoundland's economy and shook the province's identity to the core.

A twenty-two-year-old cancer survivor and amputee, Terry set out from St. John's Newfoundland in April 1980, aiming to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. His first months on the road in Atlantic Canada and Quebec were not only physically taxing—he ran the equivalent of a marathon a day—but frustrating as Canadians were slow to recognize and support his endeavor. That all changed when he met a young man named Bill Vigars, who on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society led a campaign to ensure that every person in Canada knew the story of this outstanding young man. Vigars was by Fox's side through all the highs and lows until the tragic end of his journey in Thunder Bay. A recurrence of his cancer cut short Terry's dream and, soon, his life. Now, for the first time, Vigars tells the inside story of the Marathon of Hope—the logistical nightmares, boardroom battles, and moments of pure magic—while giving us a fresh, insightful portrait of one of the greatest Canadians who ever lived. Bill Vigars was the Director of Public Relations and Fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society's Ontario Division, and acted as Terry Fox's public relations organizer, his close friend and confidante. He set up several key events as the Run entered Toronto. Image Credit: Sutherland House If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.
