We are talking about the unspoken rules of youth hockey and sharing everything we wish we'd known before our kids started moving teams. Why do so many parents feel like they're navigating a world with rules that no one is actually willing to explain? This episode isn't just about hockey—it's about parenting. We talk about trusting your instincts, asking the uncomfortable questions, choosing coaches based on character instead of reputation, and remembering that your child's emotional well-being matters just as much as their athletic development. You are your child's biggest advocate.

Mohawk DJ and music producer Shub (formerly DJ Shub) is part of the innovative force behind the “Powwow-Step” genre, a fusion of electronic styles like dance, dubstep, hip-hop, and traditional Indigenous music. Shub further explores his signature sound and pushes its potential to new heights on his latest album, “Heritage (Part Two)”. Listeners can expect party-ready tracks, chopped powwow samples, ambient soundscapes, and collaborations with Juno Award-winning Oji-Cree artist Aysanabee and legendary Three 6 Mafia member DJ Paul.  Heavy electronic musician Aaron Wallace, also known as Darksiderz, blends hard dance and industrial music to create a chaotic soundtrack fit for a vampire nightclub. The Nisenan and Washoe musician grew up in Reno, Nev. where he started playing music in local punk and metal bands. Today, Darksiderz is a popular name in the electronic music scene and he’s performed on some of the biggest EDM stages in the world. He brings a unique, dark, yet danceable sound to his recently released collaborative singles. Both artists join us to talk about their latest works.

Après la mort d'un baron de la drogue équatorien, Stalin Oliveira, en janvier 2026, à côté de Guayaquil, la presse et les observateurs des réseaux sociaux se sont intéressés à sa compagne et à son train de vie fastueux. Janvier 2026, Stalin Olivero est assassiné dans un complexe résidentiel de luxe sur l'île Mocoli, à Samborondon, tout près du grand port de Guayaquil. Surnommé « le Marin », cet homme était le chef présumé de la bande criminelle des Lagartos, les Crocodiles. Peu après sa mort, les autorités, la presse et les réseaux sociaux se sont intéressés à sa compagne Micaela Morales. Cette jeune femme vivant dans une villa de 3 millions de dollars appartenant à un homme arrêté pour blanchiment de narcodollars faisait en effet partie de la jet set de Guayaquil en sa qualité de fille de l'homme politique Carlos Luis Morales, ancien gardien de but de l'équipe locale de Barcelona et de la sélection équatorienne. C'est là qu'est apparue l'expression « poupées de la Mafia ». Qui sont-elles et quel est leur rôle dans les organisations criminelles ? Reportage de notre correspondant en Équateur, Eric Samson. Les suites du décès de Lindsey Graham Aux États-Unis, la sœur du sénateur républicain Lindsey Graham, décédé samedi 11 juillet, va lui succéder pour le reste de son mandat. Sa désignation a été annoncée hier (13 juillet) par Donald Trump lui-même. Mais même si elle a accompagné son frère durant sa carrière politique, Darline Graham Nordone n'a aucune expérience en tant qu'élue. Elle n'aura donc sans doute pas le même poids que lui au Sénat, où cette absence risque de fragiliser un peu plus la courte majorité républicaine. Le décès de Lindsey Graham relance également le débat sur l'âge des sénateurs. Explications, François-Damien Bourgery, du service international de RFI.

The Clinton Mafia by Vonda Crocker https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FCRXPLMM Vondacrocker.com A group of drug runners in Mobile, Alabama have been traveling north to the small southern town Clinton to hide cocaine in fudge then continuing to Kansas City . The plot thickens as the local mafia becomes suspicious and begins investigating.

Jeffrey Epstein was not merely a lone predator with money and famous friends. He was the operating hub of a much larger ecosystem built on access, secrecy, influence, money and compromise. He connected worlds that normally remain separate—politics, finance, royalty, academia, intelligence, philanthropy and sexual corruption—and made those worlds useful to one another. That was his real value. He was not important because he was the richest man in the room; he was important because he knew who wanted what, who feared exposure, who needed introductions and who could be controlled. Everyone looks at the Epstein List, sees credible accusations of pedophilia, and then they stop looking, thereby enabling the real issue to remain untouched, unresolved, and most importanly, undiscovered. I think that's exactly how they set it up to protect themselves.“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Ephesians 5:11 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we ask a terrifying question: what if Jeffrey Epstein's crimes against children, as horrific as they were, represented only the visible front of something far larger? What if behind the trafficking operation stood an international network of financiers, politicians, military and intelligence figures, celebrities, entertainers and sports power brokers, and even the Mafia – people bound together not merely by association, but by money, access, secrets, leverage and mutual protection? Epstein was the broker who connected multiple corrupt networks, gave powerful people access to one another, gathered information about their weaknesses and provided the secrecy that allowed the entire system to operate. The real mystery is not simply who flew on his plane or visited his properties. It is who financed him, who protected him, who benefited from his operation, what information he collected—and why the complete truth remains hidden even after his death. One of the proofs staring us right in the face is the refusal by anyone, in any government, anywhere in the world, to bring a single crime mentioned in the millions of pages of the Epstein Files to justice. Why? They didn't all abuse children, obviously, but all of them benefitted and profitted from the criminal network they willingly became a part of, and are now forced to remain silent or the whole thing will come undone. Welcome to the real-life Blacklist, and it goes so much deeper than you can possibly imagine.

Stali sme sa Klondajkom pre lobistov a záujmové skupiny parazitujúce na eurofondoch. Sú tu eurofondové mafie, ktoré sa usadili v okolí ústredných štátnych orgánov, hovorí predseda Najvyššieho kontrolného úradu, ktorý sa hĺbkovo pozrel na využitie eorofondov. Lojalitu zodpovedných úradníkov si kupujú za tisícové platy a vytvárajú prostredie, ktoré nedokáže byť kritické k “odlievaniu” eurofondov. Nedialo by sa to, keby vláda nerezignovala, dodáva Ľubomír Andrassy.Tvrdo konsolidujeme no i tak produkujeme deficitné rozpočty a dlh Slovenska stále rastie, no peniaze, ktoré nám Brusel ponúka doslova na striebornom podnose, nevieme legálne ani včas vyčerpať. Najnovšie závery NKÚ podčiarkujú mrazivú realitu: vzorce zlyhávania v eurofondoch sa cyklicky opakujú bez ohľadu na to, kto práve sedí na ministerstvách. Financovanie projektov bez akejkoľvek pridanej hodnoty, na poslednú chvíľu a v zámerne vytváranom časovom strese. Čerpanie pre čerpanie bez naviazania na merateľné výsledky a k tomu ešte i veľké množstvo podozrení z korupcie.Za 21 rokov nášho členstva pritom prišlo na Slovensko takmer 29 miliárd eur. Kam sa všetky tieto peniaze podeli a čo sme za ne získali? Najvyšší kontrolný úrad vystavil slovenskému manažmentu európskych peňazí veľmi nelichotivé vysvedčenie, ktoré potvrdzuje systémový rozklad riadiacich eurofondových štruktúr. Dokonalým symbolom tohto rozvratu zostáva paralyzovaná Pôdohospodárska platobná agentúra a absurdné haciendové kauzy.Stali sa eurofondy pre Slovensko historickou - no premárnenou šancou, alebo sú už len nástrojom na systémovú korupciu a ukážkou manažérskej impotencie vládnych garnitúr? No a kto tu v skutočnosti vládne - je to ešte vláda alebo i jej vládnurôzne eurofondové mafie? Téma dnešného podcastu s predsedom NKÚ Ľubomírom Andrassym.Sledujete Aktuality Nahlas, pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

Neither Bill Browder, a hedge fund manager, nor Jamison Firestone, a corporate lawyer ever intended to become activists fighting the Russian government.  Both were building businesses in Moscow, great believers in Russia, and had front-row seats as Russia's nascent disorderly democracy gave way to Putin's initially stable but ultimately corrupt dictatorship. Bill's Hermitage Capital was the largest foreign portfolio investor in post-Soviet Russia; Jamison was the founder of the country's first independent foreign law firm. In the Yeltsin years when Bill launched his investment fund, Jamison found himself defending himself and his clients from mafia attacks, dealing with corrupt police officers, and much more. When Putin came to power, the bandits disappeared, but over time the State became the new Mafia and eventually destroyed rule of law. The turning point for both men was when their offices were raided by the police and the registration documents for Hermitage confiscated, Bill and Jamison found themselves at the centre of the biggest tax theft in Russian history: and their lawyer Sergei Magnitsky was assassinated for uncovering the truth. In an attempt to get justice for Magnitsky they ended up going to war with the entire Russian Government, working with Alexei Navalny to expose corruption and lobbying governments across the globe to pass the Magnitsky Acts, sanctioning Russia's most powerful people. Bill and Jamison join us to share the deeply moving and ultimately chilling story of their time in Russia and fighting Putin from abroad.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Washingtonian's Jessica Sidman, who just published a wild investigation about D.C. food trucks, is here.

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans Les Fabuleux Destins. Dans cet épisode, nous allons vous parler d'une institution catholique controversée. Accusée de pratiques secrètes et de comportements semblables à ceux d'une secte, elle est surnommée “ La Sainte Mafia “. Son nom : Opus Dei. De ses débuts dans l'époque franquiste à son implantation de nos jours, découvrez son destin. La sainte mafia L'Opus Dei, qui veut dire Œuvre de Dieu en latin, a été fondé en 1928, en Espagne par Josemaría Escrivá, un prêtre formé en droit. Dans une période d'anticléricalisme, Josémaria veut promouvoir l'idée que la vie quotidienne peut être un moyen de se rapprocher de Dieu et de devenir saint. Il croit en l'importance de la formation spirituelle et en la recherche de la vertu dans toutes les sphères de la vie. En 1936 la guerre d'Espagne éclate, pour le jeune Josémaria, le communisme est une menace au christianisme. Pour lui, il n'y a qu'un homme qui peut sauver l'Église espagnol : le général Franco. L'Opus Dei devient donc franquiste... Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Clémence Setti Production : Bababam Voix : Andréa Brusque Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For decades, the Mafia was the face of organized crime in America. But while the mob's power has faded, organized crime itself has become more global, more sophisticated, and harder to track. Virginia Commonwealth University criminologist Jay Albanese has spent decades studying how criminal organizations adapt and survive. In this conversation, he explains how law enforcement weakened the traditional Mafia, how criminal enterprises shifted from controlling neighborhoods to trafficking across borders, and why he believes corruption remains one of the most important challenges facing modern societies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Even though I am technically in the middle of the Noss Gold Treasure epiodes, I felt the need to go on a  "wander"  and produce a new episode for our core journey here at JFK The Enduring Secret. In Episode 323, we begin to explore one of the most intense backdrops of the Kennedy administration: the Cuba Project. Following the disastrous and public failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961, President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, did not choose to retreat. Instead, they doubled down, concluding that the next attempt to topple Fidel Castro needed to be smarter, tighter, more deniable, and relentless.This commitment birthed Operation Mongoose, a massive covert program led by counterinsurgency specialist Brigadier General Edward Lansdale and strictly overseen by the White House. To wage this secret war, the CIA established JM WAVE in the suburbs of Miami—a massive intelligence station that functioned as a "small spy city". Under the leadership of Ted Shackley, this operation directed thousands of Cuban exile operatives, commanded an enormous budget, and conducted hundreds of "pinprick" sabotage raids against Cuban infrastructure.However, beneath the official campaign lay a much darker shadow war. This episode delves into the deeply secretive "Operation 40," a targeted killing and counterintelligence unit originally intended to purge communist officials. We also explore "ZR RIFLE," the CIA's executive action program that astonishingly partnered with the Mafia to orchestrate assassination plots against Castro, and the chilling "Operation Northwoods," a declassified proposal by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to stage fake terrorist attacks on American soil as a pretext for a full-scale invasion of Cuba.Ultimately, the Cuba Project failed in its primary objective: Castro survived, and the secret war was effectively swallowed by the Cuban Missile Crisis. Yet, its true legacy was the creation of a vast, unaccountable paramilitary network. The operatives trained participants in the Florida swamps—including men like E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis—and would later surface in some of the darkest chapters of American history, from the hunt for Che Guevara to the Watergate scandal. Tune in to explore how a secret machine built to kill a revolution ended up haunting the United States for the rest of the century.APPENDIX — A Chronology of the Secret WarMarch 1960 — President Eisenhower approves the original CIA covert-action program against Castro that Kennedy will inherit.January 3, 1961 — Eisenhower reportedly suggests to General Lemnitzer that the U.S. "could think of manufacturing something" to justify intervention in Cuba.January 1961 — Kennedy is inaugurated; the U.S. and Cuba sever diplomatic relations.Early 1961 — Richard Bissell directs William Harvey to build a "stand-by" assassination capability; the ZR/RIFLE Executive Action project takes shape.April 17–19, 1961 — Brigade 2506 lands at the Bay of Pigs and is destroyed within three days.April 22, 1961 — Kennedy appoints the Taylor–Kennedy Board of Inquiry (Cuba Study Group).June 13, 1961 — The board reports: "no long-term living with Castro as a neighbor."October 5, 1961 — NSAM 100 directs post-Castro and military-contingency planning.November 3, 1961 — Kennedy authorizes the covert program that becomes Operation Mongoose.November 30, 1961 — Kennedy's memorandum formally establishes Mongoose; Lansdale named Chief of Operations.December 1, 1961 — RFK tells the Special Group Cuba is now top priority; Castro declares, "I am a Marxist-Leninist."January 18–19, 1962 — Lansdale assigns 32 planning tasks; RFK calls Cuba "top priority — all else is secondary."

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to have back on the show for a second time: Satanic and Masonic Ritual Abuse, MK ULTRA, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and now whistleblower, creative writer, gardener, talented musician, singer and songwriter, dancer, content creator, and the brightest and bravest light in the darkness, DianaA little bit about Diana in case you missed her first testimony episode, if you're new here, or if you need a quick recap: Born and raised beneath the desert sky of Las Vegas, Diana entered a world where her family's names and networks formed a powerful, shadowed backdrop. She is the granddaughter of a 32nd-degree Freemason of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine - a Purple Heart-decorated Air Force veteran - and the niece of a nuclear health physicist who worked at the Nevada Test Site. Her great-great-grandmother immigrated from Sicily with ties to the mob and was an Italian woman of esoteric power who stood at the head of tables, bold and matriarchal. On both sides of her lineage flowed bloodlines connected to nobility, samurai, and the hidden architectures of influence. Yet it was within these very structures that the fracture began.Before she was born and continuing until she was thirteen, Diana endured systematic ritualized abuse designed to shatter memory, weaponize terror, and erase the sacred autonomy of a child. There were cages and costumes, staged violence and choreographed performances. Rituals unfolded in deserts and parks. Music - meant to be a language of the soul - was turned into a metronome of fear. Electric shocks rewrote what the mind could not bear to hold. Lodges and hidden rooms became classrooms of indoctrination. Adult faces of collusion watched. She once wrote these horrors as “fiction,” the only safe way a child could tell the truth her body already knew. Yet Diana is still here.What they tried to shatter, she gathered. What they tried to bury, she unearthed - piece by careful, courageous piece. She learned how trauma attempts to divide a life into locked rooms and how, with patient love for the self, those rooms can be opened, honored, and reintegrated. She came to understand that the most radical act after systematic dehumanization is to insist on one's full humanity - publicly, powerfully, and without apology.Today, Diana stands as a truth-teller and fierce advocate for every survivor emerging from hidden violence. She speaks for the child who was silenced and for every soul who still feels watched, doubted, or alone. She knows the architecture of coercion—how it recruits authority, hides in plain sight, and scripts stories for the powerless. She dismantles it by telling her own story first.Las Vegas taught her about illusion. Survival taught her about revelation. In a city famous for borrowed light, Diana carries her own. It does not blink. It does not sell. It is the steady flame of a life remade—one that warms, one that guides, and one that calls the lost back to themselves.Her music—once weaponized against her—has become her sword and her sanctuary. As a talented singer, songwriter, and performer, Diana now channels the very frequencies that once bound her into songs of freedom, healing, and defiant joy. Her creative writing, once a child's coded cry for help, now flows as a river of truth that others can follow. In her garden she tends living things that grow toward the sun, a quiet rebellion against every attempt to keep her in darkness.Diana meets people in the dark without pretending the dark is light—then walks with them until they can see the horizon for themselves. Because she carries her own light, the shadows in places like Las Vegas—and everywhere else—lose their power to hide. Diana is not just a survivor. She is living proof that the light within us is stronger than any darkness ever devised. And her song has only just begun.

For six years, FBI Special Agent Joe Pistone lived a lie that nearly swallowed him whole. Armed with a fake name—Donnie Brasco—and nerves of steel, Pistone infiltrated the most dangerous organized crime families in America, earning the trust of mob bosses and hitmen while his own identity slowly disappeared.

From the Texas Killing Fields and Gilgo Beach to a corpse left decomposing in a hotel water tank and three infants found frozen in a family freezer, these are the notorious dump sites where killers hide their victims — and the strangest places human remains have ever turned up.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/BodyDumpSitesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckm2tkwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Where are bodies dumped most often? What are some of the strangest places bodies have been found, and what odd situations ended up in death? We'll look at some weird stories of dead bodies being found. (Strange Dumping Grounds) *** A man is found dead – obviously murdered. But even after a positive identification, some believed the body was not of the man authorities thought it was – and an even larger mystery was, whose monogrammed handkerchief was stuffed in the corpse's mouth? (The Ruttinger Mystery) *** In Florida, there is a short stretch of freeway that is so full of incidents of danger, death, and the paranormal, that many consider it cursed – and most definitely haunted. Locals have deemed it, the Dead Zone.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December 06, 2021Weird Darkness maps the ground where the dead are hidden, traveling from America's most notorious body-dumping fields to a cursed quarter-mile of Florida interstate and a strangled German lace salesman pulled from the Staten Island mud in 1891.It opens with the dump sites scattered across the United States, where unidentified victims are still pulled from soil and water decades after they were left. In the New York Central Pine Barrens of Long Island, as many as eleven bodies have surfaced, four of them between 2000 and 2003 and two decapitated, in killings attributed to the Butcher of Manorville. Lake Tahoe keeps its secrets through physics rather than concealment, its thousand-foot depths holding a near-constant 39 degrees that stops bodies—rumored to date to Mafia disposals in the 1950s—from decomposing enough to float. Sugar planter Edgar Watson terrorized the Florida Everglades in the early 1900s, allegedly killing laborers each harvest to dodge their wages, and in 2016 two alligators were found feeding on a corpse in the same swamp. Leakin Park in Baltimore has given up roughly 70 bodies since 1946, while the Texas Killing Fields along I-45 between Houston and Galveston have yielded 30 since 13-year-old Colette Wilson vanished in 1971—among them Krystal Jean Baker, whose 1986 murder was tied to Kevin Edison Smith by DNA in 2012. Over 100 bodies have come out of the Mojave Desert, sending photographer William Bradford and William Floyd Zamastil to prison, and the still-unidentified Gilgo Beach killer dumped as many as 17 victims along Ocean Parkway, three of them strangled, bagged in burlap, and linked to the Long Island Serial Killer. Pelham Bay Park concealed at least 65 bodies between 1986 and 1995, the East River surrendered 26 in the spring of 2010 alone, and Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, confessed to ending at least 49 women's lives.From there the episode turns to bodies found where no one thinks to look. Canadian student Elisa Lam decomposed for as long as 19 days inside a rooftop water cistern at Downtown Los Angeles's Cecil Hotel while guests drank and bathed from the same supply and complained the water tasted off. In Xi'an, China, a woman starved to death trapped in an elevator over the Chinese New Year, her hands mangled from a month of clawing at the doors after workers skipped a required inspection. Elmer McCurdy, killed by police in 1911 after robbing a train of $46 and two jugs of whiskey, was embalmed with arsenic and toured carnivals as a sideshow attraction until a film crew for The Six Million Dollar Man snapped his arm off at a Long Beach amusement park in 1976 and found bone beneath the wax; he was finally buried in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in 1977. A Disneyland Paris worker was electrocuted behind the scenes of the Phantom Manor ride in 2016, a German mother kept three of her infants in freezer wrapping for some 30 years until her grown children uncovered them while digging for frozen pizza, and Joshua Maddox, missing since 2008, was discovered seven years later wedged in the chimney of his parents' Colorado cabin with no sign of injury.Next comes a quarter-mile of Interstate 4 near Lake Monroe, Florida, that locals call the Dead Zone. The asphalt covers four unmarked graves of Dutch immigrants who died in the Yellow Fever epidemic that erased the 1870s settlement of St. Joseph's, graves that landowner Albert Hawkins fenced and protected after stumbling on them in 1905, and which earned a reputation for lightning strikes, house fires, and a fatal hit-and-run befalling anyone who disturbed them. The state promised to relocate the remains before construction but paved over them, and as work began in 1960 Hurricane Donna changed course to follow the road's path; the highway opened in 1963 with a deadly truck crash at that exact spot. Somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 accidents have clustered along the short stretch since, Hurricane Charley retraced Donna's route over it in 2004, and drivers report their radios filling with growls, children's laughter, and disembodied voices in a place with no nearby transmitters.The episode closes with the 1891 murder of Karl Emanuel Ruttinger, a German lace salesman from Dresden whose body watchman Samuel Mortin found half-floating in the mud below Tottenville, Staten Island, his arms bound behind his back and a linen handkerchief monogrammed "W.W." rammed down his throat with a stick. Suspicion fell on his brother-in-law, William Wright, who had sailed with him from Liverpool and shared his boarding-house room, yet Wright stood only five-foot-four at 120 pounds, far too slight to overpower a six-foot, 200-pound man alone. The trail twisted through a throat-cutting suicide at the Astor House by a man calling himself Fred Evans, a string of conflicting witness identifications, and the discovery that Ruttinger's life had been insured for more than $20,000 just a month before the voyage—raising the possibility that the corpse was not Ruttinger at all. A Tottenville inquest ruled that it was indeed Ruttinger, suffocated by persons unknown, and in 1892 the Equitable Life Assurance Society paid his mother Therese roughly $22,000, conceding privately that settling was cheaper than proving the fraud they suspected.
