(Current price of oil contract is $95 and December contract is $75) Oil Prices may be BOGUS - But What About Gas? Gas Prices More Manipulation - The Trump administration has discussed trading in the oil futures market as a strategy to help curb surging crude prices amid the war in Iran, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said. - US would just sell future contracts and then deliver at those prices at the end of the contract date. (SPR/Venezuela?) - Not sure how markets will take an intervention like that. - Remember when short selling was banned on Financials back in the 2008 ----Stock prices continued to fall during the ban and tended to stabilize only after it was lifted, suggesting the ban did not stop the decline. ------ Seems that when government intervenes in free markets they can set off more panic as the optics make it look even worse. ---- AND- Russian Oil sanctions partially removed Inflation and ECO - PCE Prices stay elevated - GDP rose at a seasonally and inflation-adjusted annual rate of just 0.7% in the fourth quarter, according to a Commerce Department revision Friday. - The first revision of the GDP reading was a sharp step down from the previous estimate of 1.4% and well below the Dow Jones consensus forecast for 1.5%. - The core PCE inflation rose 0.4% in January and 3.1% on a 12-month basis.

En 1976, Christian Ranucci est condamné à mort pour l'enlèvement et le meurtre de la petite Marie-Dolorès Rambla. Deux ans plus tard, un livre va bouleverser l'opinion publique : Le pull-over rouge de Gilles Perrault. L'ouvrage avance une thèse explosive : Ranucci aurait été exécuté alors qu'il était innocent. Depuis, l'affaire n'a cessé de diviser la France. Erreur judiciaire ? Manipulation de l'opinion ? Ou conviction collective construite sur un récit trompeur ? Dans cet épisode de Parlons Crime, Jean-Alphonse Richard et Christophe Hondelatte reviennent sur cette affaire criminelle emblématique : • Que s'est-il vraiment passé le jour de la disparition de Marie-Dolorès Rambla en 1974 ? • Pourquoi le pull-over rouge est devenu un symbole ? • Comment un livre a pu convaincre toute une génération de l'innocence de Ranucci ? • Et que disent réellement les éléments du dossier ? Un échange passionnant entre deux spécialistes du récit criminel, pour comprendre l'une des affaires judiciaires les plus débattues de l'histoire française.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Gaslighting does not only affect your emotions. It affects your brain.In this episode, Dr. Krystal Culler and Heather Elwell sit down with Dr. Jennifer Fraser, author of The Gaslit Brain, to examine what happens in the brain when someone experiences chronic gaslighting, bullying, and psychological harm.*Please note that this conversation was recorded live during a live Neuro Nook book club discussion and featured as part of the Virtual Brain Health Center's annual Brain Week series.*This conversation connects neuroscience, workplace culture, and lived experience. You will learn how gaslighting disrupts memory, increases stress responses, and impacts cognitive performance. More importantly, you will learn what you can do to protect your brain.This discussion also explores institutional gaslighting, why even high-performing professionals are vulnerable, and how understanding the science can reduce self-blame and increase clarity.If you have ever questioned your memory, your judgment, or your sense of reality after a difficult workplace or personal experience, this episode provides language, science, and practical strategies.What You Will Learn in This EpisodeThe difference between normal conflict and gaslightingWhy gaslighting is designed to create confusionWhat chronic psychological stress does to the brainHow the amygdala and hippocampus respond to prolonged stressWhy highly capable professionals are often targetsHow workplace cultures can enable manipulationWhy language matters in recognizing psychological harmBrain-based strategies to strengthen cognitive resilienceKey TakeawaysGaslighting follows patterns. Learning those patterns helps you see clearly.Your brain is wired for trust. That makes manipulation difficult to recognize.Psychological harm can produce real neurological effects including: stress overload, memory disruption, and cognitive fatigue.Recovery is possible. Neuroplasticity means the brain can repair and adapt.Awareness is protection. Naming the behavior reduces its power.Practical Brain Health Strategies DiscussedStrengthen awareness of your environment and patterns of behaviorBuild a more precise emotional vocabulary to better interpret stress signalsPrioritize psychological safety and supportive relationshipsSlow down decisions when something feels offQuestion assumptions and look for evidence before accepting claimsStay socially connected during recovery rather than withdrawingLearn More About Dr. Jennifer FraserWebsite: BulliedBrain.comPsychology Today column: The Bullied BrainPodcast: The FEMCAST Listen to host, Dr. Krystal Culler's conversation with Dr. Jennifer Fraser on her podcast, The FEMCAST titled, “How 'Psychopath Puppet Masters' Destroy Careers (and How to Escape)” on iTunes, Spotify, or Substack or watch on YouTubeRelated Resources MentionedLearn more about BrainHQ brain training platform from our previous podcast conversation with their lead scientist Dr. Henry Mahncke, Ph.D. “What the Latest Brain Training Science Means For Your Brain Health” Previous podcast conversations with Dr. Jennifer FraserListen now: Exposing Gaslighting: What it Does to the Brain and How to HealListen now: Understanding the Neuroscience of Bullying & Its Impact on the BrainExplore the written summary of Neuro Nook Book Club discussion on the gaslit brainKey Message From This EpisodeGaslighting loses power when it is recognized and named.

Have you ever left a conversation feeling confused, guilty, or unsure of what actually happened? In this episode, we break down the psychology behind narrative control and how manipulators subtly rewrite events to avoid accountability and maintain power. We explore minimization, reversal, selective memory, emotional hijacking, and how confusion becomes a compliance tactic.

Welcome to episode #1027 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Will Storr is an award-winning author, journalist and storytelling researcher whose work explores one of the most powerful forces shaping human behavior… the stories we tell ourselves about the world. Over the course of a career that blends psychology, neuroscience, investigative journalism and narrative craft, Will has become one of the most compelling voices examining how stories shape identity, belief and culture. His bestselling books include The Science of Storytelling, Selfie: How We Became So Self-Obsessed And What It's Doing To Us, and The Status Game, each offering a deeper look at the hidden forces driving human motivation and social behavior. In his latest book, A Story Is A Deal - How To Use The Science Of Story To Motivate And Persuade, Will explores how storytelling operates as a powerful psychological transaction… a kind of deal between storyteller and audience that shapes what we believe, who we trust and how we act. Drawing on research from neuroscience and psychology alongside examples that range from ancient rituals to modern brand campaigns, Will shows how narratives influence everything from the leaders we follow to the products we buy. In this conversation, Will explores why people so often believe stories before they believe facts, how identity and status shape the narratives we embrace, and why character-driven storytelling remains the most powerful way to influence human behavior. At the same time, he wrestles with the darker side of narrative… the way stories can fuel misinformation, reinforce tribal identities and manipulate audiences when used without care. As artificial intelligence begins to play a role in creating and distributing stories, the conversation also turns to questions of authenticity, creativity and the future of narrative itself. I'm a huge fan of Will's work and it was truly a honor to host him. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 54:58. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Listen and subscribe over at Apple Podcasts.

The Kouri Richins trial has built a case fact by fact, witness by witness. But the behavioral picture underneath it — how someone allegedly operates this way for years across an entire social world, what it does to the people who love them, and where it all starts — that takes a different kind of analysis.Tony Brueski brings psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke into three complete panel conversations examining the full psychological scope of this case.The first conversation tackles the alleged exploitation the trial has documented in granular detail — every person prosecutors say was used and what they lost, and the psychological mechanics that allegedly made it invisible until it was too late. The second examines the Richins family's experience — the instinct they carried, the years of fighting to be believed, and the specific psychological weight of grief that confirms what you always feared was true. The third goes to the root: Kouri's own history, what a chaotic upbringing does to someone's decision-making decades down the road, and what five children are now inheriting from all of it.This is the psychological portrait the case demands — and the conversation most coverage is still not having.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Psychologist and relationship specialist Dr. Sage Breslin joins me to unpack a question many successful people quietly ask themselves: Why do I keep attracting the same destructive personalities?Most conversations about narcissistic relationships focus on blaming the narcissist or shaming the person who stayed. This episode does neither.Dr. Breslin and I walk through the deeper dynamics behind what many people describe as the “narcissist magnet” phenomenon — the repeated pattern of high-achieving, empathetic, capable individuals finding themselves in relationships with manipulative or emotionally exploitative partners.From love-bombing and emotional mirroring to gaslighting and dependency cycles, Dr. Breslin explains how narcissistic personalities secure emotional leverage long before their behavior becomes obvious. By the time the pattern becomes visible, many people are already deeply invested — emotionally, financially, and often through family commitments.We also explore why intelligent, successful professionals are often more vulnerable, not less. Empathy, resilience, and a strong sense of responsibility can unintentionally create openings for manipulative personalities looking for validation and emotional fuel.Dr. Breslin shares her own personal journey through toxic relationships, health crises, and eventually the insights that led her to develop a framework for helping others recognize and break these cycles.This isn't a conversation about labeling people or diagnosing ex-partners.It's about understanding the unconscious dynamics that keep people stuck in repeating patterns — and learning how to reclaim agency, boundaries, and self-trust.The lesson isn't blaming yourself for what happened.It's recognizing the pattern clearly enough to make sure it doesn't happen again.TL;DR• Narcissistic relationships often begin with intense validation and emotional mirroring• Love-bombing and manipulation typically appear long before obvious abuse• Highly empathetic and successful people are often targeted for emotional “fuel”• Many people don't recognize the pattern until they are deeply invested• Gaslighting and psychological manipulation gradually disempower the partner• Breaking the cycle requires rebuilding self-trust and clear boundaries• Healing involves reconnecting with personal identity after emotional dependency• Awareness is the first step toward ending repeating relationship patternsMemorable Lines“Most people don't realize they're in a narcissistic relationship until they're already deeply committed.”“Narcissists aren't looking for love — they're looking for fuel.”“Empathy without boundaries becomes an open door.”“Manipulation doesn't start with cruelty. It starts with connection.”“Breaking the pattern begins when you trust your own instincts again.”GuestDr. Sage Breslin — Psychologist and relationship specialistLicensed psychologist focused on helping professionals, particularly women in leadership roles, recover from toxic relationship dynamics and rebuild personal power.Why This MattersHigh performers often assume intelligence and success will protect them from destructive relationships.In reality, many of the same qualities that make someone effective in leadership — empathy, responsibility, persistence — can also make them vulnerable to manipulation when boundaries are unclear.Understanding these dynamics isn't about blaming victims or diagnosing partners.It's about recognizing patterns early enough to prevent them from repeating.For leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigating complex personal and professional relationships, this conversation offers a clear reminder: awareness and boundaries are not weaknesses.They're survival skills.The real freedom comes from recognizing the pattern — and choosing not to repeat it.

If you don't anchor your value and raise your hand, someone else will. Elevate is about understanding your differentiator, naming your ROI, and making it easier for others to see where you belong. You'll walk away clear on how to advocate for yourself in a way that feels intentional, not self-serving.In this episode, I'll cover:Clarify what makes you uniquely valuable and why it mattersRaise your hand for opportunities before they pass you byFrame self-advocacy as ownership, not ego_____________________

Before the murders. Before the backyard graves. Before the "zombie" labels and the doomsday beliefs — there was a conference room in Utah and a man who told Lori Vallow she was chosen.This is Part 1 of "The Chosen Ones," a 5-part Hidden Killers series examining the psychology of spiritual abuse through the Vallow-Daybell case. We're not recapping the crime. We're dissecting the religious manipulation that made it possible.If you've ever experienced religious trauma, you know how this starts. The warmth of being "seen." The intoxication of being chosen. The slow process of believing you're exempt from the rules that govern everyone else.Chad Daybell told Lori they were married in a past life. He told her she was exalted. He told her that her husband Charles had been taken over by a demon.Within months, Charles was dead. Within a year, so were Tylee and JJ.This episode breaks down spiritual love bombing — the first stage of coercive control in high control religions. It's the same pattern used in toxic churches, manipulative faith communities, and cults worldwide. Understanding how it works is the first step in healing from religious trauma.For anyone in a faith crisis. Anyone questioning a toxic church. Anyone who has watched a loved one transform under spiritual influence.The devout aren't vulnerable because they're foolish. They're vulnerable because they've already decided to believe. All a predator has to do is redirect that belief.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How do you recognize spiritual abuse before it's too late?It starts with feeling chosen. Someone tells you that you're special — that they can see your divine purpose, that you were set apart before birth, that the rules don't apply to someone at your level.That's how it started for Lori Vallow. A religious conference. A man named Chad Daybell. A claim that they'd been married in a past life.Within a year, her husband was dead. Within fourteen months, her children were buried in Chad Daybell's backyard.This is Part 1 of "The Chosen Ones" — a 5-part psychological deep dive into spiritual abuse, religious trauma, and high control religion through the lens of the Vallow-Daybell case.This episode examines: → How spiritual love bombing creates dependency → Why seekers and the devout are most vulnerable to religious manipulation → The fringe LDS conference circuit where Chad Daybell built his following → How "you're special" becomes "the rules don't apply to you" → Warning signs of coercive control in religious settingsIf you're experiencing a faith crisis, questioning a toxic church, or in the middle of deconstruction — you'll recognize these patterns. The tactics are the same across high control religions. Only the vocabulary changes.The first step in spiritual manipulation is making you feel chosen. The second step is making you feel exempt. Understanding these mechanics is the first step toward healing from religious trauma.CHAPTERS: 0:00 - The Conference Room [Additional chapters TBD]RESOURCES FOR SURVIVORS: Religious Trauma Institute Recovering from Religion Tears of Eden (spiritual abuse support) Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Mike Lomas and Mike Sperrazza break down the latest developments surrounding escalating tensions with Iran and what it really means for the United States. The hosts push back on media narratives about a looming World War III, arguing that the economic and military imbalance between the U.S. and Iran makes a prolonged conflict unlikely. They also discuss the role of international allies, the impact on global markets and oil prices, and the broader ideological battle between Western values and radical extremism. Later in the episode, the conversation shifts to the Clintons, revisiting long-standing controversies and political accountability as the hosts weigh what it all means heading into the next election cycle.(00:03:31) US Military Strength and Financial Disparity(00:08:58) Military Disparity in US-Iran Conflict(00:17:01) The Iranian Regime(00:18:20) Manipulation of Youth Towards Extremism(00:25:16) Ethical Behavior and Political Trustworthiness(00:28:26) Power Dynamics and Manipulation in the Clintons(00:31:36) Campaign Strategies Against Democrat Candidates in Midterm Elections

Influence isn't just built when you speak. It's built when you choose who and what you reinforce.In this part of the RAISE framework, I'm talking about SUPPORT and why lifting someone else in the moment is one of the most strategic moves you can make. This isn't about being agreeable. It's about being intentional with your voice.When you consistently support the right ideas and the right people, trust compounds. And so does your influence.In this episode, I'll cover:How reinforcing others strengthens your leadership presenceWhy support is a strategic move, not a soft onePractical ways to multiply your influence in everyday moments_____________________

Tired of being bombarded with guilt-inducing soundbites disguised as compassion—like "no human is illegal," "love is love," or accusations of white privilege, racism or fascism? Megyn Kelly calls it "toxic" empathy. I call it SELECTIVE compassion or GUILT-TRIP compassion. It is MANIPULATION that appeals to emotion over logic. It cunningly redefines your values, and then it shames you into conformity.In this episode of the God Is the Issue Podcast, Brad Bright breaks down how these peddlers of guilt control conversations by weaponizing shame and guilt. Learn three simple, powerful steps to take back control. Discover how to win people—not just arguments—by fishing for those seeking truth, just like Jesus did. If you're a Christian frustrated by the emotional manipulation that grips our culture, this episode will better equip you to respond shrewdly and biblically. Like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more on how God is the issue in every issue!

Send a textWhat if every trigger—family tensions, romantic chemistry, even a head cold—wasn't a problem to fix but an invitation to wake up? Coming back from three lively weeks in Hawai‘i, I walked straight into a field of patterns: subtle manipulations, the rush of attraction, and a familiar fear of not being liked. Instead of bracing, I practiced relaxing into each wave, letting breath turn reactivity into clarity. That's where the big shifts happened: asking for what I want without “doing nice,” witnessing strategies without blame, and letting relationships mirror the self-talk I still tolerate.A raw, tender moment with my son opened a doorway. After he called me “embarrassing” in public, we unpacked kindness versus performance, and by morning the energy had softened. That arc—feel, breathe, see—became a template for everything, including sickness. Symptoms surfaced as symbols, not verdicts, pointing to an avoided thought about being seen. When I caught the story, the charge dissolved. We dig into ACIM insights, from listening instead of strategizing to understanding why miracles are involuntary. We touch the “masters” lore as a pointer to vision: deny false causation without denying experience, and respect the world you made while gently undoing its limits.We also get practical. Food, bodies, diagnoses—none dictate our peace. Testing beliefs with bravado is another ego trick; gentleness and listening work better. If sweets or fast food feel like a spiral, meet the urge without shame and ask what sweetness you're withholding from yourself. And on love: I'm practicing keeping the feeling of falling in love regardless of outcomes, letting people be catalysts without making them the source. It's a surrender the ego resists, but it's where freedom lives.If this resonates, share it with someone who's ready to trade strategies for vision. Subscribe for more deep dives, leave a review to help others find the show, and tell me: which pattern are you ready to see through next?Support the show

This week on Look Forward, we break down Trump's record-breaking State of the Union disaster, White House manipulation of prediction markets, and the ongoing Epstein investigation chaos.Trump's State of the Union Fiction:Trump delivered the longest SOTU in modern history—1 hour and 48 minutes of detachment from reality. He ignored the economic pain Americans are feeling, lied about job creation (2025 was the worst year since 2003), claimed $18 trillion in investments that doesn't exist, and boasted about stock markets that aren't predictive or telling off the actual economy felt by the average American. We fact-check his most egregious lies and explain why this speech could cost Republicans the midterms.Prediction Market Corruption:The White House appears to be manipulating prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket ahead of major speeches. Over $12 million was wagered on SOTU details—from speech length to specific words Trump would say. Senator Chris Murphy calls it "just insane" that Trump's inner circle can profit by knowing speech details in advance. We explain how this gambling-meets-politics scheme works and why it's basically legal insider trading.Epstein Investigation Update:Hillary Clinton's closed-door Epstein deposition was derailed when Rep. Lauren Boebert violated committee rules by leaking a photo to MAGA influencer, Benny Johnson. Meanwhile, the DOJ quietly scrubbed records showing the FBI interviewed a Trump accuser FOUR TIMES about allegations he assaulted her as a minor through Epstein in the 1980s. Those interview records have now disappeared from public files.Plus:- Cuba strangulation: Trump's quiet campaign to collapse the Cuban economy- Democrats fighting to restore IRS Direct File- Rep.

James sits down with Harry, the host and victim behind The Rachel Cancer Scam, before sharing Episode One of his story. What Harry once believed was a twenty-year love story slowly revealed itself to be a long-term romance scam built on lies, emotional manipulation, and carefully constructed identities. Careers were invented. A pregnancy was faked. Crises were manufactured to keep multiple men emotionally tethered at the same time. This is a true story about a love scam that was never about money, but about control, devotion, and the power of belief. How does a relationship scam last for decades, and how does the truth finally come to light?

Rachel Bernstein is a licensed marriage‑and‑family therapist in Los Angeles and a seasoned cult specialist with more than 35 years of experience. Rachel specializes in helping individuals exit authoritarian cults and narcissistic relationships and begin healing. She works on a one-on-one basis, hosts group therapy sessions, and speaks more broadly through education and media appearances. Rachel also hosts the weekly podcast, IndoctriNation, which explores cults, manipulators, and strategies for protecting oneself from systems of control. Over the course of the show, she has interviewed hundreds of cult survivors, journalists, and experts. Through the years, I've had the pleasure of working with Rachel on cases, witnessing firsthand the depth of her expertise and her commitment to empowering survivors. “I never thought this would be happening in the United States, that people would be looking for ways to escape for their safety,” Rachel observed of recent national events. We discussed the assaults on peaceful protesters and the recent killing of Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. Rachel noted that her own children, who are within the trans community, worried about their personal safety, and many in different communities are looking for routes of citizenship to other countries. Rachel also noted the quote from Kamala Harris about Trump turning the military against his own country, and how that was once deemed “hysterical”; now, it is spot-on predictive. Her newest book, Restart and Restore: A Journal for Survivors of Manipulation, combines psychoeducation, therapist notes, journaling prompts, and integration practices into a self‑paced guide for individuals emerging or healing from a manipulative relationship. The accompanying Companion Notebook offers additional activities and provides space for personal reflection and notes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, I explore the deeper layers of spiritual sovereignty, perception, and the nature of evil with teacher and healer Sarah Elkhaldy, host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia. We go far beyond surface-level spirituality and into the real terrain—psychopathy, manipulation, spiritual warfare, and the psychological mechanics behind modern psyops.Sarah shares her unlikely entry point into awakening through conspiracy research, how that path evolved into esoteric study, and why understanding darkness is essential to true alchemy. We unpack the weaponization of compassion, the dangers of outsourcing authority, and how unexamined core wounds can make us vulnerable to manipulation. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the state of the world, questioned your sanity while researching uncomfortable truths, or struggled to balance discernment with an open heart, this conversation will resonate.We also get into perception as the ultimate alchemical tool—how mastering it can modulate your nervous system, shift your biology, and reclaim your power from false authorities. Sarah explains why spiritual awakening requires energy, resilience, and a willingness to confront the uncomfortable realities most people avoid.This one goes deep. If you've been navigating the rabbit holes, wrestling with duality, or wondering whether evil can truly change—or whether this realm is something we graduate from rather than fix—you're going to want to hear this conversation.Watch Mystery Teachings with Sarah Elkhaldy at gaia.com/series/mystery-teachings-with-sarah-elkhaldy.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.
