New Realities with Alan Steinfeld Disclosure Day, Higher Frequencies, and the Threshold of a New Human Reality Guests, Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, Linda Moulton Howe Spielberg's Disclosure Day Opens a Bigger Conversation In this episode of New Realities, host Alan Steinfeld gathers a panel to review Steven Spielberg's newly released film Disclosure Day. Alan is joined by longtime UFO investigator Linda Moulton Howe, along with Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak, who bring perspectives from UFO research, consciousness studies, spirituality, ancient texts, and the wider disclosure movement. Alan frames the film as perhaps one of the most anticipated cinematic events in modern UFO culture, because it deals not simply with science fiction, but with the possibility that humanity is being prepared for a deeper truth about non-human intelligence. Frequencies, Clicking Sounds, and Consciousness Communication Linda Moulton Howe begins by emphasizing the importance of frequency in the film. She connects Spielberg's use of clicking sounds and nonverbal communication to government documents, abduction cases, and reports she has heard from experiencers over decades of research. Dr. J.J. Hurtak also highlights the film's treatment of language, sound, and consciousness, contrasting it with Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where communication was centered more on tones and music. In Disclosure Day, the panel says Spielberg brings in the human element more fully, suggesting that extraterrestrial contact may involve mind-to-mind communication, frequency, empathy, and higher consciousness rather than ordinary speech alone. From Science Fiction to a Disclosure Bridge Alan and the panel repeatedly stress that they do not see Disclosure Day as merely another science fiction movie. They argue that Spielberg has gathered decades of UFO, UAP, consciousness, government secrecy, telepathy, cover-up, and experiencer material into a film that functions as a bridge between old disbelief and a new cultural acceptance. Alan says Spielberg seems to have been a serious student of the phenomenon, including many familiar themes from UFO research: government secrecy, private industry involvement, recovered craft, mind control, empathy, and the question of whether the public has a right to know. Government, Corporations, and the Machinery of Secrecy A major part of the discussion focuses on the film's depiction of government secrecy and private industry. Alan references the fictional corporation Wardex, which is tied to retrieval and extraction programs, and connects that to real-world claims associated with figures such as Lieutenant Colonel Philip J. Corso. Linda and the Hurtaks discuss how governments may have transferred recovered technologies or sensitive programs into corporate hands to create plausible deniability. Linda traces this secrecy back to World War II and Eisenhower-era briefings, while Alan says the film dramatizes the tension between those who hide the truth and those who believe humanity has a right to know. Fear, Love, and the Human Right to the Truth The panel describes the film as a contest between fear-based secrecy and the higher message of empathy, love, and transcendence. Alan says humanity is caught between fear and higher consciousness, and that the film presents empathy as a key to humanity's future. Linda is especially moved by the final minutes, saying she felt empathy not only for extraterrestrials but also for humanity, because people have not been told the truth as a species. The panel agrees that disclosure should not merely be informational; it should be transformational, helping humans understand themselves as part of a larger cosmic family. Religion, Creation, and the Many Mansions of the Universe The film's spiritual themes are also central to the panel's review. Alan, Linda, and the Hurtaks discuss the Catholic sister character in the film, who recognizes that the universe is too vast to exist only for humanity. They connect this idea to the Book of Genesis, Christ consciousness, the New Testament phrase about “many mansions,” ancient Coptic and Greek texts, and the idea that creation includes many levels of life and intelligence. Rather than seeing extraterrestrial intelligence as opposed to spirituality, the panel presents it as part of a larger divine creation story in which humanity must expand its understanding of soul, consciousness, and cosmic purpose. What Spielberg Shows — and What He Leaves for Later The group praises Spielberg's restraint but also discusses what the film does not fully show. Linda says she wished Spielberg had introduced more kinds of non-human intelligences, including tall whites, Nordics, reptilians, plasma beings, and other forms she has encountered through witness testimony. Alan suggests Spielberg may be taking the public slowly by first introducing one or two categories of extraterrestrial presence before expanding into a wider range of beings. The panel agrees that the film is likely only the beginning of a broader cultural process and that future films, government releases, or public disclosures may reveal a more complicated landscape. Disclosure, Timing, and a Planet Under Pressure The panel repeatedly asks why this film and this moment are happening now. Linda suggests the timing may relate to future geophysical changes, solar activity, rising oceans, environmental instability, and the possibility that extraterrestrial assistance may become necessary for humanity's survival. Alan connects the timing to recent government disclosures and the public release of UFO/UAP information, while Dr. J.J. Hurtak frames the moment as a sociological, psychological, economic, planetary, and spiritual convergence. The group agrees that humanity is being prepared for contact because the old reality is no longer sufficient. The Soul, Empathy, and the Next Stage of Humanity A major theme in the latter part of the program is the soul. Linda shares memories from childhood of feeling a protective pressure in her chest while looking at an image of Christ with lambs, a feeling she still associates with soul, protection, and love. Dr. J.J. Hurtak describes the soul as the inner architecture of life, a field of consciousness that continues beyond the body. Dr. Desiree Hurtak adds that different beings may have different levels of soul evolution, and that humanity is learning to access abilities such as remote viewing, telepathy, and higher-dimensional awareness. Alan says these gifts of the spirit may allow humans to meet non-human intelligences on a more equal footing. “Listen”: The Word at the Doorway The panel gives special attention to the film's final message: listen. They interpret the word as a call to listen to extraterrestrials, higher intelligence, divine purpose, inner senses, compassion, and one another. For Dr. J.J. Hurtak, this connects to sacred language and the ancient call to hear the divine frequency. Alan sees Spielberg's film as a “signifying agent,” a cultural bridge that helps people move from an old reality into new realities. The episode closes with a shared prayer from Linda, “May the thought that dwells in the light protect us forever,” followed by Alan's disclosure-themed song, “Did You See It?”, which he presents as an anthem for this new moment.

Bill Gates' carefully cultivated public image as a calm, charitable, soft-spoken philanthropist is facing renewed scrutiny as questions around his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein continue to follow him. The focus is on how Gates transformed himself from a hard-charging Microsoft executive into a global humanitarian figure, with public relations teams shaping everything from his clothing and media appearances to the tone of his interviews. That polished “Mr. Nice Guy” image is now being challenged by reporting about his Epstein meetings, criticism of his personal conduct, and a growing public suspicion that the friendly billionaire persona was carefully manufactured rather than organic.The broader issue is that Gates' reputation depends heavily on trust, and the Epstein connection damaged that trust in a way philanthropy alone cannot easily repair. Melinda French Gates has previously said his meetings with Epstein were a factor in their divorce, while Gates himself has called those meetings a mistake. The result is a public-relations problem that goes beyond one scandal: it raises questions about elite access, image management, accountability, and how powerful men are able to soften their reputations through philanthropy while uncomfortable parts of their history remain unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Is Bill Gates' Mr Nice Guy image beginning to crack? – Firstpost

Europe's industrial competitiveness is high on the EU's strategic agenda as industries face increasing pressure from global competition, shifting trade dynamics and increasing regulation.The European machinery and equipment manufacturing industry provides 3 million high-quality and well-paid jobs in Europe, is globally successful and is associated with the 'Made in Europe' quality mark more than almost any other industry.It provides technologies and equipment that enable other industries across Europe to innovate, produce efficiently, and advance the green and digital transitions. The sector is perceived by many as a genuine European strength, yet its heterogeneity and complexity mean it can fly under the radar of EU policymakers, while at the same time becoming increasingly exposed to unintended regulatory side effects that risk undermining its competitiveness.European manufacturers must deal with complex regulatory frameworks, rising production costs, and intensifying global competition - especially from regions operating under very different regulatory and cost conditions. While remaining globally competitive, companies are also expected to continue driving innovation and contributing to Europe's climate and sustainability objectives.Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make up a large share of the machinery manufacturing sector and are deeply embedded in Europe's industrial value chains. For many of these companies, regulatory complexity and administrative burdens can significantly constrain investment, innovation, and international competitiveness.As the EU further develops its industrial, trade and sustainability policies, the challenge will be to create a framework that supports innovation, reduces unnecessary burdens, and ensures fair global competition.Listen to this Euractiv Virtual Conference to discuss how Europe's machinery and equipment manufacturing industry can remain competitive in a changing global environment while continuing to enable innovation, support industrial value chains and contribute to Europe's climate and economic goals.Questions to be addressed include:- What role does the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry play in Europe's industrial value chains and economic resilience?- How can European machinery manufacturers remain competitive amid increasing global competition and trade challenges?- How can regulatory frameworks be simplified to better support SMEs while maintaining high European standards?- What policies are needed to ensure fair global competition and a level playing field for European industry?- How can innovation in the machinery sector strengthen competitiveness while supporting Europe's climate goals?- How can policymakers and industry work together to better capitalise on the strategic importance of the machinery sector for Europe's economy?

Farmers are urging the federal government to hold a fast and efficient consultation process on Right to Repair reforms. Labor is moving to expand the reforms to agricultural machinery, which would allow farmers to service and repair their own farm machinery, like tractors. Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with National Farmers Federation President Hamish McIntyre about how it would benefit the ag sector.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailThe Architecture of Empire: Walter L. Hixson on the Israel Lobby and the Machinery of Endless WarPart Two: The Nakba's Blast Radius and the Capture of U.S. Foreign PolicyEpisode DescriptionSeventy-eight years ago, the Nakba dismantled Palestinian society. Today, we are living inside its blast radius.What began in 1948 with the violent mass displacement of over 700,000 people has metastasized into a sprawling, multi-front geopolitical fire. We are now watching the Middle East get swallowed by a disastrous and widely rejected regional war with Iran—a conflict fueled by corrupt demagogues desperate to trade human lives for their own political survival.How does a republic repeatedly bankrupt its moral standing and its treasury to underwrite conflicts its citizens actively despise? It doesn't happen by accident. It is engineered.In Part Two of our historical deep-dive into the U.S.-Israel Special Relationship, host Jeremy Rothe-Kushel reaches back to a profoundly relevant late-2021 conversation with diplomatic and cultural historian Walter L. Hixson.Stripping away the polite fictions of Washington double-speak, Hixson exposes the actual plumbing of imperial power. We break down the modern Israel lobby in plain daylight: the massive flow of capital, the ruthless political coercion, and the organized infrastructure of silence that captures U.S. foreign policy and locks the American public into a perpetual cycle of militarism and repression.If we are ever going to extinguish the fire, we must first understand exactly who built the furnace. Step beyond the walls with us.Guest Bio: Walter L. Hixson is a diplomatic and cultural historian, a contributing editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, and the author of numerous vital books, including Architects of Repression: How Israel and Its Lobby Put Racism, Violence and Injustice at the Center of US Middle East Policy and Imperialism and War: The History Americans Need to Own.Listen & Explore Further:Walter Hixson's Bio & Work: University of AkronExplore the Show Archives: Listen to past episodes, including Part 1 with Grant Smith, at the KKFI Understanding Israel Palestine archive: kkfi.org/program/understanding-israel-palestine/Beyond the Walls Substack: beyondthewalls.substack.com

The Federal Government today announced the start of a six week consultation period on right to repair legislation for farm machinery.

We re-join the conversation with Jim McCarthy, who farms an extensive holding in north-eastern Romania, as Jim walks us through recent changes on the farm, most notably his move away from the big-name manufacturers toward more affordable South American machinery to reduce costs. He also discusses the wider crisis facing Romanian agriculture after three severe droughts: bankruptcies among local suppliers, a tightening of credit for farmers, and many crops that have not yet received fertiliser this season. For more episodes and information from the Tillage Edge podcast go to:https://www.teagasc.ie/crops/crops/the-tillage-edge-podcast/ Produced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com

Japan's seasonally adjusted core machinery orders in March fell 9.4pctfrom the previous month, the Cabinet Office said Thursday.

From rising machinery costs to variable rate technology and connected farm platforms, this episode of Tramlines explores how growers can improve machinery performance, reduce waste, and make more informed investment decisions.In this episode of Tramlines, host Tony Smith is joined by farm business consultant Paul Pickford, Jonny Kerley from Origin Digital, and Ben Foster from RHIZA to discuss one of the biggest financial pressures facing UK farming businesses: machinery investment.With farms in England spending £2.3 billion on machinery in 2023/24, according to DEFRA, the discussion focuses on how growers can improve returns from machinery through better data, improved connectivity, more efficient operations, and a clearer understanding of true operating costs.Podcast Summary:Why UK farm machinery investment has slowed despite increasing operational pressuresThe true cost of machinery ownership and why many businesses still underestimate itHow telematics and connected platforms are improving machinery efficiency on farmWhy idle time and machine utilisation matter more than ever in tight-margin farmingThe growing role of data and connectivity in future machinery purchasing decisions

Factory built, deployed in modules, cost effective, flexible power generation systems for geothermal? That's right, Critical Energy is aiming to change the landscape for geothermal development timelines with their cutting edge, factory built, modular ORC turbines. Spencer Jackson, Founder and CEO, spent many years at SpaceX working with systems while much hotter, not that different and he thought to himself why not tackle heat recovery in a meaningful way. With their approach, the landscape for geothermal could be radically revitalized, lowering barriers to entry, lengthy time to markets, decreasing costs, supply chain bottlenecks, etc. ultimately unlocking more resource and capital faster.    Spencer Jackson https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-j-jackson/ Critical Energy  https://www.linkedin.com/company/critical-energy-systems/posts/?feedView=all Spencer's Book Recommendation  Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy CORE Knowledge https://www.linkedin.com/company/core-geothermal Nick Cestari https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-cestari-48059268/

3. HEADLINE: The Machinery of Fear: The IRGC Octopus and Gen Z's Defiant Rage GUEST AUTHOR: Nilo Tabrizy SUMMARY: Nilo Tabrizy details the machinery of state repression, describing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as an "octopus" influencing the economy and social behavior through units like the Basij. The regime weaponizes grief, attacking funerals to prevent them from becoming revolutionary rallies. Tabrizy highlights the disproportionate targeting of Kurdish minorities, who are often accused of baseless crimes like cooperating with foreign intelligence. Furthermore, she identifies Generation Z as the movement's driving force. Lacking economic prospects and future hope, these young Iranians confront the regime's sadistic violence with palpable, unyielding rage. 31600 ARTAXERXES II

The ability to know what the future might hold can seem pretty compelling, but what if it has a downside?In this episode, in answer to a question from a guest on a retreat, Thom explores why wisdom is not always an abundance of knowledge, but the ability to move between broad context and intimate human experience.Through the lenses of dharma, avidya, and pattern recognition, Thom reveals how not knowing can be part of what makes life meaningful, relational, and full of discovery. Listen in to hear the Vedic perspective on why surprise in life is not a flaw, but part of its intelligence.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - Are patterns part of dharma?[01:28] A - Zooming In and Out of Context[06:02] Avidya and Not Knowing[09:07] Mastering The Ignorance Dial[11:45] Operating the Machinery of Life[14:48] Elevational Theater[18:13] Being Lovable Through IgnoranceUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

This episode distills the complex landscape of federal legislative power into clear, actionable steps. Whether you're studying for the bar or trying to deepen your understanding of constitutional limits, you'll learn the diagnostic protocol to analyze any federal law or regulation.Most federal laws that seem beneficial or expansive are actually constrained by the limited scope of Congress's constitutional powers—and understanding the boundaries is crucial for any aspiring constitutional lawyer. This episode reveals how the Supreme Court has reined in decades of unchecked federal authority through a series of sharp doctrinal limits, from the boundaries of the Commerce Clause to the critical anti-commandeering principle and the transformative major questions doctrine.You'll discover how the Court differentiates between commercial and non-commercial activity and when Congress can—and cannot—reach into the local, personal lives of citizens. We break down iconic cases like Wickard v. Filburn, which gave Congress astonishing power to regulate local farming activities in the aggregate, and contrast it with Lopez and Morrison, which sharply curbed that reach for non-economic acts like gun possession and acts of violence. You'll learn the modern three-part test to analyze commerce power questions and the strategic use of the safety valves—the taxing and spending powers—that can save laws seen as overreach.We also dive into the complex terrain of administrative law, exploring how the Supreme Court's recent crackdown on agency overreach, especially through the landmark major questions doctrine, guards against agencies wielding sweeping authority without explicit congressional approval. This is most evident in the Court's rejection of the CDC eviction moratorium and OSHA vaccine mandates, which it deemed too major to be justified by vague statutory language.If you're preparing for the bar exam or aiming to master the constitutional limits on federal power, this episode is essential listening. It transforms abstract doctrines into a clear, step-by-step diagnostic protocol—perfect for navigating tricky fact patterns and excelling in exam essays. By understanding where and how Congress's constitutional authority ends, you'll sharpen your legal instinct, avoid common traps, and build a robust framework for tackling any constitutional law question.Whether you're a Law School student, a bar exam candidate, or a constitutional law enthusiast, this episode arms you with the insight and analytical toolkit to confidently decode the federal government's power boundaries—an absolute must for anyone serious about constitutional mastery.

Veterans of the Vietnam War came home carrying something they had no words for, and in many cases they never found any. And yet — decade after decade, one act of preservation at a time — people have refused to let their experiences disappear. And that refusal is its own kind of service.

In this episode of On the Record, brought to you by Associated Equipment Distributors, we have details on Titan Machinery surpassing its Fiscal 2026 inventory reduction target of $150 million and CEO Bryan Knutson's perspective on positioning the company for the next phase of the cycle.

Two of our kids are coming home from their missions this year. I've been thinking about the importance of their growth and happiness that they've experienced on their missions. As I reflected on how much they both learned from companions, investigators, using their strength each day to walk and talk and meet people I realized that when they come home, the struggle will be in maintaining the spiritual further, even though their lives are not 24 hour proselyting are teaching. Then my thoughts led to how many times we as humans want to get healthy and lose weight. We start working out. Many times we are able to set goals to lose weight and get fit and we accomplish that goal. We feel really good. Then when we get to that golden desired place, we need to go into maintenance phase. Meaning, we will need to set goals and boundaries that make it so we don't return to our old habits. Finding a healthy way to stay in maintenance. That to me is the hardest part. It's really not that difficult to decide to lose the weight and do the things you have to do to get there. It's maintaining what you've accomplished. Your growth really came in the experience of getting to that goal. Learning and growing in the gospel can be the same. We gain knowledge, we serve in callings, we have spiritual experiences, we get answers from God, we see miracles happen in our loved ones lives, but for some reason we forget and don't focus on the maintenance. We go in to our old habits and behaviors and forget to focus on God and his bountiful blessings. Join me today as I share some thoughts on MAINTENCE!"An introspective look may reveal that we too and our families could benefit from our doing some needed maintenance and renovation work, even a seismic upgrade!"

The Pop Mythologist and his guest, author and psychology professor Alex Langley, revisit RoboCop (1987) as a political, mythical, and psychological parable about how capitalism privatizes everything, offers false solutions to the very problems it creates, dehumanizes human beings, and lays the groundwork for fascism. Drawing connections to the current actions and tactics of ICE, and the ongoing AI takeover, they also explore why protecting and reclaiming our humanity is a form of resistance in these times. ⚠️Spoilers for: RoboCop (1987) and RoboCop (2014) ✅ No Spoilers for: All other works mentioned Follow Alex Langley at: Instagram: @therocketllama https://www.instagram.com/therocketllama/ Threads: @therocketllama https://www.threads.com/@therocketllama?xmt=AQF0-7f6xIpQJVf66ms1AALoCuIZNzOs1bRdOfL4zVEnUJI Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Rocketllama Official website https://www.rocketllama.com/

We've hit a tipping point for autonomy in agriculture, so how far off is fully autonomous farming? In this episode, Matthew Pryor sits down with Brett McMickell, Chief Technology Officer at Kubota North America, to unpack his view on what autonomy can deliver in agriculture and why it's closer than many people think.Brett's career spans spacecraft control systems and multi-vehicle autonomy. Today at Kubota, he's helping guide autonomy strategy inside one of the world's largest and oldest agricultural equipment manufacturers. Brett's focus is about ensuring the technology solves on the ground problems for farmers and is driven by customer demand, rather than by the tech itself.Matthew and Brett discuss:What supervised autonomy will look like in 1 - 3 years.Why smart implements and sensing are just as important as autonomous power systems.Why AI in agriculture is still under-appreciated.What autonomy will look like in 10 years (without human intervention).How autonomy could completely change farm layouts, machine sizes, and operating metrics.How Kubota decides whether to build, partner with, or acquire new technology.Useful Links:Kubota USA InnovationKubota acquires Bloomfield Robotics, so what?Kubota to acquire automation company AgJunction - Future FarmingKubota Concept Tractor | Innovation | Kubota Global SiteKubota launches first autonomous hydrogen-fuelled tractor - Farmers WeeklyHow can agtech startups and corporates do more together?Seeing into the future of farm autonomy (w/ SwarmFarm Robotics)Have we hit a tipping point for autonomy in ag?For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

In this episode of The Lending Brief (sponsored by Allocore), the GovNavigators talk with Anthony Curcio, Senior Partner at Summit Consulting and longtime federal credit expert, about the fundamentals of government lending.Curcio explains why federal loan programs exist in the first place, how they differ from private-sector financing, and the two distinct sides of federal credit: large consumer programs like student loans and mortgages, and project-based lending for infrastructure, manufacturing, and industrial policy.The discussion covers the practical challenges agencies face and the central tension of federal lending: advancing public policy while still operating like a disciplined, repayable loan program.For anyone looking to understand the strategy, mechanics, and future of federal credit, this conversation is a clear and candid guide.Want more from The Lending Brief?

The Welsh government has implemented its Sustainable Farming Scheme or SFS. There are three levels for farmers to join: first, Universal Actions which all farmers have to comply with to get funding; then optional enhanced actions; and finally collaborative projects. Wales' Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs Huw Irranca-Davies says the collaborative approach the government used to create the SFS is needed to tackle river pollution.All week we're talking about cheese. In 2024 UK cheese exports were worth £887 million, around three quarters of that was destined for Europe. Last year DEFRA announced sanitary and phytosanitary agreement between the UK and EU, aimed at reducing paperwork for agri-food exports by aligning standards. One dairy exporter, Coombe Castle International, says there's growing demand in Asia, the US and Australia too.Farmers are heading to the NEC in Birmingham for the big machinery show: LAMMA.

This final episode for 2025 has no tips, no tactics, no strategies. Just a moment to acknowledge the grief, exhaustion, and weight so many of us—especially in the nonprofit sector—are carrying right now.If leadership feels heavier than usual…If fundraising feels harder…If you're tired but still showing up anyway…This episode is for you.Nonprofits are the quiet machinery of hope. When the world burns, we're the ones stitching it back together. That work isn't glamorous, but it matters deeply.You don't need to fix the whole world today.You just need to keep your corner lit.Give yourself permission to rest, to feel, and then—when you're ready—to come back steady in 2026. Because hope isn't passive. Hope is funded.Happy holidays, friends. Take care of yourselves.And as always—get that money, honey.
