In this Bonus Hour of the The Financial Guys Podcast, the guys dig into why union workers have dramatically shifted their political loyalties, how media echo chambers distort immigration and crime statistics, and why accountability in law enforcement and government leadership matters more than ever. They break down the difference between legal and illegal immigration when it comes to business ownership, call out the misuse of data used to shape public opinion, and make the case for passing voter ID legislation before the midterms. Plus, a quick sports sidebar on the Patriots' dominance of the AFC East and their Super Bowl legacy wraps up the hour.

MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE TO THE SEEMS SUS PODCAST BELOW OR WHEREVER YOU LISTEN TO PODCASTS!https://www.spreaker.com/show/6861857/episodes/feedIn this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed tackle selective outrage, political tribalism, manufactured narratives, and the growing emotional fallout of the last decade. From social media misinformation and viral panic to post pandemic anger and identity driven conflict, the conversation explores why society feels more divided, hostile, and confused than ever. We question why people blindly defend systems they distrust, why outrage shifts depending on who is in power, and how fear based narratives keep repeating with new faces and new excuses.Outrage has become the default state of modern society. In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed examine how selective outrage, misinformation, and political obsession fuel constant conflict while nothing ever truly changes. The discussion covers social media manipulation, fake headlines, AI misinformation, and how easily false claims spread when they align with existing beliefs. From exaggerated crisis narratives to outright fabricated stories, the episode highlights how little verification happens before people react emotionally. The conversation also dives into the long term psychological effects of isolation, pandemic era fear, and loss of trust in institutions. Brandon and Ed talk about compliance, resistance, shifting narratives, and why people who once demanded obedience now condemn it.Topics expand into political hypocrisy, voting disillusionment, government power, education and indoctrination, taxation, surveillance, and the realization that public outrage rarely leads to meaningful change.

We manipulate in order to gain some form of control, but the truth is, we never really had control anyway. It's an illusion - and manipulation is its sneaky counterpart. It tries to get us to “go in the back door”, when the front door is sitting right there all along. Listen in as we unpack manipulation and replace it with something new.
Eine neue Umfrage zeigt deutliche Mehrheiten für Aufrüstung einerseits und Sozialkürzungen andererseits. Diese beunruhigenden Ergebnisse können als das Resultat der manipulierenden Angst-Kampagne zur „russischen Gefahr“ bzw. der aktuellen Kampagne gegen den Sozialstaat bezeichnet werden. Manchmal sind Umfragen aber auch selber Teil der Manipulation. Ein Kommentar von Tobias Riegel. Dieser Beitrag ist auch als Audio-Podcast verfügbar.

Revisiting this episode because sometimes you have to repeat yourself for it to stick... Truth comes in many forms. What has been draining your spirit? 5 types of people to avoid to navigate the next chapter in life in peace and freedom, and not chaos. If someone's constant complaining suffocates the joy, God is trying to nourish in you, then you must protect your inner sanctuary. The second type is the manipulator. This is the most subtle and often the most painful. Manipulation does not come with shouting. It comes wrapped in words that sound like care, like duty, like obligation. Manipulators use guilt to control. They speak of love but demand submission. God NEVER weaponizes guilt. Therefore, every person who steals your freedom is damaging the gift God placed in you. 3rd type They remind you of old mistakes, not to heal you, but to diminish you. They keep you fixed in an outdated portrait of who you once were, refusing to see the grace God has formed in you. Your past is not a weapon for others to wield. 4th Darkness Bearers one who carries darkness. Not always in obvious ways, not always with dramatic sins, but with a presence that pulls the soul away from the light. These are the people who normalize what leads you away from God, who diminish the seriousness of sin, who feed resentment, who speak lightly of what wounds the conscience, who invite you into anger, division, or habits that cloud the clarity of prayer. A neighbor arrives not with warmth but with gossip that stains the mind. A relative comes not with compassion but with burdensome anger that pulls the spirit into old conflicts. 5th Silent but just as deadly This cold silence is not the silence of contemplation. It is the silence of indifference. It is the silence that neither builds nor comforts. A relative who shows no interest in your well-being. A friend who never asks how your heart is. A companion who takes but never gives. Your soul is too close to eternity to be entangled in the shadows of others. Rise above the storms of others. You will live the later years as God intended, not in confusion, but in clarity, not in exhaustion, but in grace. Pope Leo is still kicking the knowledge. Navigate to Pope Leo Speaks on 5 Types of People to Avoid that are Peace Wreckers to view the video in its entirety. No, I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV is literally a "cousin". And has emphatically stated he is not MAGA. As the first American-born pope, has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he "doesn't understand the United States," as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government. He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration's deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit. While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid "partisan politics," he has also said that he is not afraid to "raise issues" that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to cross, and his comments on human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a moral and religious critique of the administration's policies. I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But, I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold listening to #Obama speeches is classic!! Even Sun Tzu could have anticipate the level of shade of the new age Chinese nor 50 cent for that matter. #pettylujah Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Treatable and all of us should be about fixing our mental health always....

In this episode, we discuss recent developments at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil (ESB) following the deaths of Pupy and Kenya, the sanctuary's two female African elephants, in 2025.As we have seen in recent weeks, we are living in a time that is exposing a troubling side of our society — one where false and negative claims are more readily accepted than positive truth, and where it often seems easier to believe accusations of manipulation and corruption than to accept that honesty and integrity exist. In this conversation, we examine how anti-sanctuary narratives and the temporary suspension of ESB's license to bring in new elephants have emerged in this climate — and why the impact extends beyond elephants, affecting wider wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts.At the same time, we explore why this difficult moment may also present an opportunity: to bring clarity through evidence-based review, and to highlight the vital — and too often misunderstood and ignored — responsibility sanctuaries around the world take on when they accept elderly, chronically ill, and end-of-life elephants into their care.We urge supporters to sign and share our petition calling for fair, transparent, and equal standards — ensuring that Elephant Sanctuary Brazil and zoos in Brazil are assessed by the same regulatory criteria.What we know so far about Pupy & Kenya's passingTransparency and Accountability for AllThe episode transcript can be found here.Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.orgWho we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants.

In this episode of The Kelsi Sheren Perspective, Kelsi and her guest, Alex Schadenberg, delve into the controversial topic of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada, particularly focusing on the ethical implications and real-life cases that highlight the potential dangers of the program. They discuss the tragic story of Keanu, a young man who was approved for euthanasia despite not being terminally ill, and the role of doctors like Dr. Ellen Wiebe in these decisions. The conversation emphasizes the alarming trend of euthanasia being normalized in society, especially among vulnerable populations, and raises questions about the motivations behind such practices, including financial incentives and systemic failures in mental health care.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Overview of MAID01:20 The Case of Keanu: A Tragic Euthanasia Story05:40 Ethical Concerns Surrounding Euthanasia10:46 Discrepancies in Euthanasia Practices Across Provinces15:52 The Role of Organizations in Promoting Euthanasia21:31 Manipulation and Coercion in Euthanasia Narratives26:51 The Legal Landscape of Euthanasia in Canada30:24 The Alarming Rise of Euthanasia Cases31:01 Euthanasia Statistics and COVID Comparisons32:45 The Economic Incentives Behind Euthanasia36:22 Organ Donation and Euthanasia Ethics40:11 Redefining Death: The Ethical Dilemma46:37 Witnessing Euthanasia: Emotional Impact and Trauma49:49 Coercion in Euthanasia: A Closer Look - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok - https://x.com/KelsiBurnsListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1O3yiobOjThKHtqyjviy1a?si=6c78bdc2325a43aeSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgDefenders of Freedom - https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

Most of us hear no and take it personally. We shut down. We see it as the end of the road instead of the beginning of a conversation. But what if no could actually be a place to start? In this episode, I'm sharing how to shift the way you hear and respond to no so you can stop backing down and start getting curious.This shift will change how you negotiate, how you lead, and how you advocate for what you want. It's time to get comfortable with resistance and reframe it as data, not defeat.In this episode, I'll cover:How to recognize the subtle forms of no and what to do nextQuestions to ask that keep the conversation going instead of shutting it downWhy curiosity is your best tool for navigating resistance_____________________

How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house on December 13th, 2025? What did Rob and Michele Reiner stop being able to see? Two experts break down the psychological dynamics that may have led accomplished, intelligent parents to underestimate danger from their own son.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—analyzes how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and shared identity. The Reiners had tried tough love. It hadn't worked. They blamed themselves. How does manufactured guilt function as a manipulation tool? Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their own relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control. What does that level of influence over the family story tell you about who actually held power?Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delivers a comprehensive three-part psychological analysis. Part one examines Nick's schizoaffective disorder and the medication change that reportedly destabilized him one month before the murders—plus the psychology of someone who admits killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy. Part two breaks down how the family "grew used to" behavior that alarmed strangers, how Nick reportedly manipulated his way through 18-plus treatment facilities, and why Rob and Michele brought Nick to Conan O'Brien's party rather than leave him alone—where other guests considered calling 911. Part three exposes why the mental health system failed despite the Reiners doing everything families are told to do.Dr. Drew said 30-day programs were "almost meaningless" for Nick. Alexis Haines said he belonged in a hospital. Patient autonomy laws let him refuse treatment. The care he actually needed may not even exist.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #ShavaunScott #FBI #ThreatBlindness #HiddenKillers #FamilyDynamics #ManipulationJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Eight months after Christine Banfield was allegedly stabbed to death in her own bedroom, detectives returned to the home. What they found tells a story all by itself. The blood-soaked carpet? Gone. Fresh wood flooring in its place. New furniture throughout. And on the nightstand where wedding photos once sat? Pictures of Brendan Banfield with Juliana Peres Magalhães—the au pair who prosecutors say helped plan Christine's murder.Crime scene photographer Kenner Fortner showed the jury these before-and-after images during day three of testimony. Detective Terry Leach presented graphic photographs of Joseph Ryan's body—blood on his face, hands, chest, and arms. The murder knife wasn't in Ryan's hand as the defense claims it should have been. It was hidden under blankets on the floor. Christine's blood was found on Banfield's jeans. Prosecutors revealed he'd bought a gun weeks before the killings, took Juliana to a shooting range twice, and allegedly installed $30,000 worth of soundproof windows in the home.McDonald's surveillance captured the prosecution's timeline: Banfield in the parking lot at 7:37 AM, exiting the bathroom with his phone to his ear at the exact moment Juliana called. Her testimony says that call was the signal.But the central question remains: who manipulated whom? Robin Dreeke spent 32 years at the FBI, including leading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program where he recruited spies and analyzed human behavior at the highest levels. He examines what Juliana's jailhouse letter reveals about her psychology—writing to her mother that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan, that she still loved him, but wanted to come home. Dreeke identifies the behavioral markers that distinguish genuine coercion from willing participation. The jury will watch Juliana testify against the man she allegedly loved. Dreeke tells you what to look for.#BrendanBanfield #JulianaMagalhaes #ChristineBanfield #RobinDreeke #FBI #AuPairMurder #CrimeSceneEvidence #HiddenKillers #Manipulation #FairfaxTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Should we be sympathetic towards manipulators? In episode 157 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about manipulation. They discuss what makes up a manipulative personality, why manipulators see social interaction as inherently combative, and what you can do when you find yourself entangled with a manipulator. They also explore what Niccolo Machiavelli tell us about the role of manipulation in politics. Should political leaders always be kind? Or, as Machiavelli says, do they need to learn to “be bad”? And what can we say about manipulation outside of politics? Does manipulative behavior require awareness and intention? Are all forms of manipulation inherently bad? And where do we draw the line between manipulation and other types of social influence? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss how manipulators perform on the ultimatum game and whether philosophy is the only form of non-manipulative discourse.Works discussed:Anne Barnhill, “How philosophy might contribute to the practical ethics of online manipulation”Robert Greene, 48 Laws of PowerNiccolo Machiavelli, The PrinceGeorge Simon, In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative PeopleEnjoy our work?

BachelorClues breaks down The Traitors Season 4, Episode 4 as strategy, confidence, and bad math collide in one of the messiest games yet. With Faithfuls taking big swings based on vibes instead of evidence, alliances forming and fracturing mid-episode, and a Roundtable defined by overconfidence and emotional gameplay, this hour becomes a case study in how quickly control can slip away. Plus: questionable mission reads, dangerous theories, and a growing sense that the Traitors may be letting the Faithful do the work for them.
There are moments when power hesitates — not because it's confused, and not because it's honest — but because it assumes it no longer has to explain itself.This episode of Boiler Room examines that moment.Broadcast live from Central Texas, host Bryan “Hesher” McClain is joined by Adam “Ruckus” Clark for a long-form breakdown of a week defined by narrative overreach, information saturation, and the growing difficulty of separating signal from psychological operations.From escalating rhetoric surrounding Iran and unverifiable reports of mass casualties, to the quiet normalization of AI integration into military systems, to domestic crowd-control preparations and raw political optics caught on camera, the discussion traces a single through-line: modern propaganda no longer collapses cleanly — it blinks.When credibility becomes collateral damage, saturation replaces persuasion, and consent is assumed rather than earned, the cracks begin to show.Topics covered include:Escalation narratives and information warfare surrounding IranViral imagery, casualty claims, and the credibility gap between speed and verificationGrok and the normalization of AI inside military and classified networksTechnocracy, dual-use technology, and the consolidation of powerNational Guard “response forces,” civil unrest planning, and historical precedentMedia degradation, AI-generated deception, and epistemic collapsePolitical optics unraveling in unscripted momentsDisaster narratives, pattern recognition, and the limits of skepticismThis episode is not about debunking individual headlines — it's about recognizing patterns of behavior when authority stops whispering and starts rushing.Boiler Room remains a space for critical analysis, open-source scrutiny, and conversations that resist narrative management — especially when the information environment itself is unstable.Reference Links:Ice Breaker: Matt Damon Says Netflix Wants Plots Reiterated “Three or Four Times in the Dialogue” for Phone-Distracted ViewersPentagon taps Elon Musk's AI “Grok” for military useUS Taxpayers will pay $83 BILLION to build Venezuela's oil infrastructure to benefit oil companies & Israeli billionairesThe allegedly siezed Starlink gear (Iran)Trump got pissed off at heckler with legitimate grievance and gave him the birdTrump's new defense plan quietly creates a National Guard “response force” trained for crowd control and civil unrestDavid Icke on “Wildfires Currently Raging in Argentina's Patagonia Region Could Be A 15-Minute City Arson Job Similar to Malibu and Maui”Can't Trust the internet anymore – Real time AI Deep Fake tech improves to the point of practically indistinguishable Support:Support BOILER ROOM & ACRPatreon (Join and become a member)Shop BOILER ROOM Merch Store
The Gospel is not a disruption of the natural order, but a restoration of it. To a world living upside down in sin, the truth of Jesus Christ appears as an upheaval. The Bible is the touchstone of truth; when it contradicts our feelings or culture, it’s revealing how far off course we are. Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways. Today we struggle to witness to those close to us, let alone to those at the ends of the earth. This series offers a glimpse into ways early Christians witnessed. Impacted?

Il y a un an, Donald Trump était élu président des États-Unis. Le nouveau locataire de la Maison Blanche est depuis omniprésent à l'international. En Afrique, le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud ont été directement concernés par un interventionnisme décomplexé… La fin de l'Agence des États-Unis pour le développement international (Usaid), quant à elle, a de lourdes conséquences humaines sur le continent. Les manifestants brandissent un immense drapeau du Venezuela dans les rues de Pretoria, capitale de l'Afrique du Sud. Celui des États-Unis, flotte en arrière-plan au-dessus d'une ambassade américaine surprotégée. Les slogans des manifestants sud-africains sont clairs : « Hands Off Venezuela », ‘Ne touchez pas au Venezuela.' » « Il s'agit d'une manifestation d'urgence, explique Mohammed Desai, de l'Association Afrique du Sud-Amérique latine, organisée par diverses organisations de la société civile sud-africaine, des partis politiques ainsi que des syndicats. Aujourd'hui, c'est le Venezuela qui est attaqué, demain, nous craignons que ce soit l'Afrique du Sud ! » Lors de la manifestation, le secrétaire général du Parti communiste sud-africain Solly Mapaila regrette le manque de réactions internationales. « À l'heure actuelle, tonne-t-il, les États-Unis font ce qui leur plait ! Il est regrettable qu'ils soient autorisés à le faire et que certains pays dans le monde n'aient pas réagi de manière appropriée... Nous refusons de vivre dans un monde monolithique dans lequel les États-Unis nous imposent une forme extrême de capitalisme de droite et de conservatisme, sans quoi ils ne nous considèrent ! » Nations unies, salle du Conseil de sécurité. Trois notes, les diplomates s'installent. La présidence somalienne prend le micro : la réunion 10085 du Conseil de sécurité est déclarée ouverte. Ce 5 janvier 2026, la désapprobation africaine face à l'intervention des États-Unis au Venezuela est cette fois-ci exprimée en termes diplomatiques, par la voix de l'ambassadeur Lewis Brown. Le représentant du Liberia aux Nations unies s'exprime devant le Conseil au nom du A3, le groupe des trois membres africains non-permanents du Conseil de sécurité : « De tels développements représentent des défis sérieux, non seulement par rapport à la stabilité interne du Venezuela, mais aussi parce qu'ils soulignent l'impératif de sauvegarder, plus largement, la paix et la sécurité de la région. Le A3 demeure ferme dans son engagement en faveur des principes fondamentaux du droit international, y compris le respect total de la souveraineté et de l'intégrité territoriale des États, tels qu'inscrits dans la charte des Nations unies, dans l'intérêt de la stabilité régionale et de la paix internationale. » Plusieurs gouvernements et organisations ont également marqué leur protestation par des communiqués : le Ghana, la Namibie, l'Union africaine ou l'Alliance des États du Sahel. Interventionnisme décomplexé Le cas vénézuélien est devenu emblématique d'un interventionnisme décomplexé. Et l'Afrique est d'autant plus concernée par cette politique de puissance qu'elle en a elle-même été la cible. Dès février 2025, des frappes américaines sont déclenchées contre des cibles de l'organisation État islamique dans les montagnes du Golis, dans le nord de la Somalie. À la fin de l'année, c'est le Nigeria qui fait l'objet d'une intervention américaine, préparée et justifiée par un argumentaire sur mesure : l'existence d'un prétendu massacre de chrétiens dans le pays. Des frappes censées viser l'État islamique sont déclenchées le jour de Noël, le 25 décembre. En ce début d'année 2026, certains sur place s'interrogent encore sur les motivations réelles de l'intervention américaine… Comme le professeur Muktar Omar Bunza, qui enseigne l'histoire sociale à l'Université du Nord-Ouest à Sokoto, au Nigeria. « Avec ce qu'il s'est passé au Venezuela, explique-t-il, les gens ont l'impression que les Américains peuvent prendre n'importe quel prétexte, comme par exemple cette histoire de persécutions religieuses, que n'importe quoi peut servir de justification pour que les Américains s'emparent des ressources d'un endroit. Donc, les gens ont peur, ils craignent que ce soit juste une étape, ils perdent confiance dans l'idée d'une démocratie américaine qui respecterait les droits humains, ou qui les défendrait ». Le Grand invité AfriqueOusmane Ndiaye: «L'Afrique subit déjà la brutalité de Trump» L'inquiétude est d'autant plus forte que la parole développée autour de cette politique de puissance s'émancipe largement des faits, de la réalité du terrain. L'exemple nigérian n'est pas unique. L'Afrique du Sud a elle aussi dû endurer les déformations trumpiennes de la vérité. Depuis son retour au pouvoir, Donald Trump s'est érigé en défenseur des fermiers blancs qu'il considère victimes d'un « génocide » en Afrique du Sud. Cette affirmation ne s'appuie pourtant sur aucun fait. « Il nous ramène dans notre passé ! » Se rendre dans une ferme au nord de Pretoria aide à s'en rendre compte. Ici on élève des poulets et l'on produit des choux ou des poivrons. Le Dr. Ethel Zulu est nutritionniste de formation. Il y a une dizaine d'années, elle a choisi de devenir agricultrice, elle est aujourd'hui à la tête d'une propriété d'une vingtaine d'hectares. Le crime en milieu rural, raconte-t-elle, touche aussi (et surtout) la communauté noire. Elle en a elle-même été victime. « Avant, explique-t-elle, nous occupions notre maison entièrement, mais nous avons décidé d'y installer aussi certains de nos employés, pour ne pas être seules ma fille et moi. Comme ça on se sent un peu plus en sécurité. Vous savez, cette question de la sécurité dans les fermes est un problème qui touche toute la communauté agricole, ce n'est pas du tout un problème racial mais bien un problème national. » Sa réaction aux propos du président américain, à ses affirmations sur une communauté blanche prise pour cible et l'existence d'un « génocide » ? « Cet homme est raciste, c'est tout ! Parce que les incidents que subissent les agriculteurs noirs dans leurs exploitations, comme moi, personne n'en a parlé. Nous venons par exemple de perdre un cadre de notre coopérative - AFASA. Le 26 décembre 2025, ils sont entrés armés chez lui, lui ont dérobé tout son argent, puis l'ont tué ! Et on nous dit que les agriculteurs blancs sont plus vulnérables que les agriculteurs noirs ? Ce sont des mensonges, des absurdités, nous sommes tous des cibles ! D'une certaine manière, ces propos divisent le pays en raison de notre histoire. Nous essayons d'aller de l'avant, et lui, il nous ramène dans notre passé ! » Ethel Zulu sort son téléphone et ouvre WhatsApp. Apparaissent alors de nombreux groupes communautaires, symbole de l'entraide entre voisins. « Tous les membres sont des agriculteurs du coin… Là, c'est notre équipe d'urgence… » Dans ces groupes, les noms Afrikaners, de la minorité blanche, se mêlent aux noms africains. Illustration d'une communauté d'agriculteurs soudée, victime de la même criminalité, parce qu'isolée en milieu rural, loin des postes de police. « Not in our name » De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, malgré le rappel des faits et de la réalité de terrain, Donald Trump persiste. Le documentaliste Louis Gaigher et plusieurs dizaines d'Afrikaners ont co-signé une lettre ouverte dans la presse sud-africaine, « Not in our name », 'Pas en notre nom'. Une réponse aux propos américains. « Je pense que ce qu'il fait ici, ou plutôt le genre de rhétorique qu'il utilise, relève complètement de la suprématie blanche. Je trouve cela extrêmement opportuniste. Je ne peux parler qu'en mon nom, je refuse qu'on me présente comme un réfugié ou quelqu'un qui souffre à cause du gouvernement postapartheid et de la démocratie. » En Afrique du Sud, 35 ans après la fin de l'Apartheid, la minorité blanche est encore très puissante économiquement et politiquement. Elle détient une grande majorité des terres du pays. Si la Nation arc-en-ciel est confrontée à bien des défis, Louis Gaigher et les autres signataires de cette tribune, refusent d'être « des pions dans les guerres culturelles américaines ». « L'administration américaine attaque notre politique de redistribution des terres. Mais ici nous avons l'État de droit qui doit toujours être protégé. Et c'est complètement ridicule que les Américains se plaignent de notre loi sur l'expropriation sans compensation alors qu'ils font précisément la même chose, et de manière très violente, avec le Venezuela, ou encore avec leurs projets pour le Groenland ! » Les cas nigérian et sud-africain viennent en tout cas confirmer que la manipulation décomplexée de la réalité est l'un des piliers de la gouvernance trumpienne. « Ce que Donald Trump a fait, c'est qu'il a reconfiguré ce que nous considérions comme ‘la vérité', analyse Trust Matsilele, maître de conférences à l'Université de Birmingham. La vérité ou les faits sont maintenant des concepts fragiles. À partir du moment où ils ne servent plus ses intérêts, ils peuvent être contestés ou rejetés. C'est ce qu'on pourrait appeler une ‘politisation de la vérité'. Certaines des choses qui avaient été vues comme des vérités établies sont remises en cause : le changement climatique, les concepts de démocratie et d'État de droit. Tout cela a été bousculé par la vision du monde de Donald Trump ». Le chercheur s'arrête sur les risques que fait courir un tel comportement : « La vérité doit être la vérité, quelle que soit votre position. À partir du moment où vous commencez à politiser tout cela, on bascule de la vérité objective à la propagande, la mésinformation, la désinformation et les fake news… » Des opinions publiques africaines partagées À Kinshasa, dans le quartier commerçant de la Gombe, la circulation est encore timide et les embouteillages n'ont pas encore fait leur apparition, ce matin-là. Les Kinois sont déjà sur le chemin du travail. Certains, comme Jacquemain, disent la crainte que leur inspire désormais Trump, en dépit de son engagement en faveur du processus de paix en République démocratique du Congo. « Auparavant, quand il était arrivé au pouvoir, on pensait qu'il allait faire de bonnes choses, surtout pour notre pays la RDC. On pensait que c'était dans notre intérêt, la population congolaise. Mais maintenant, quand on constate la politique qu'il est en train d'amener dans le monde, on se demande : est-ce que ce n'est pas par intérêt pour nos minerais ? On a ensuite vu ce qu'il s'est passé au Venezuela, et puis ça n'est pas encore fini, on attend encore maintenant bientôt le Groenland et tout ça. On se demande : qu'est-ce qu'il se passe dans la tête de ce président-là ? » Patrick, lui aussi, déplore les coups portés à l'ordre international. « Quand il est venu, regrette-t-il, il a montré l'image de quelqu'un qui voulait la paix. Maintenant, on est en train de remarquer qu'il crée des problèmes. Apparemment, il ne respecte pas les lois internationales. Il y a eu la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Après, les gens se sont réunis pour établir des lois qu'ils devraient respecter. Apparemment, ces lois, lui, ne lui disent rien. Il fait ce qu'il veut. Alors, ça fait craindre. » Cela provoque des débats également à Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire, comme entre ces étudiants en anglais rassemblés dans une salle d'université. Beaucoup admirent le président américain. « Il faut dire que c'est un gars bien, estime Daniel, il exerce un pouvoir très exécutif. Ses partisans valorisent son leadership et aussi sa manière de prendre des décisions… Quand il veut faire, il fait ». « Le monsieur il est simple, avance de son côté Emmanuella. Il te dit “fais ça”, tu ne fais pas ça, il te voit directement comme un ennemi… Pour diriger, il faut avoir de la poigne, on ne peut pas diriger avec les sentiments ». L'interventionnisme américain au Venezuela ou au Nigeria n'émeut pas Ange, qui n'a pas 20 ans. Il voit Trump comme un modèle à suivre et approuve sa posture envers les États africains : « C'est un monsieur qui agit par intérêt et ses relations avec l'Afrique sont plutôt par intérêt. ‘Je vous apporte quelque chose si vous m'apportez quelque chose. Si vous ne m'apportez rien, je ne vous apporte rien !' Je pense que Donald Trump a eu cette intelligence-là et il fait bien. Un pays n'a pas d'amis, il n'a que des intérêts. Et je pense que Donald Trump applique cela et ça me fait plaisir de voir cela ». Ange rêve d'étudier aux États-Unis. Son espoir paraît compromis depuis le 1er janvier et la suspension de la délivrance de visas accordés aux ressortissants ivoiriens, une mesure jugée discriminatoire par beaucoup. « Une nouvelle approche mercantiliste » La diplomatie trumpienne navigue-t-elle à vue, comme l'assurent certains observateurs, ou a-t-elle une cohérence et une logique profonde ? Pour le professeur Adekeye Adebajo de l'Université de Pretoria, la politique internationale de Donald Trump s'inscrit dans le temps long de l'interventionnisme américain. « Je pense, explique cet universitaire, que ce que fait Trump s'inscrit dans la continuité de ce que les États‑Unis ont fait par le passé, car je ne crois pas qu'il soit forcément exact de le présenter comme une aberration totale. Il y a trente‑cinq ans, George Bush Père a envoyé des troupes américaines au Panama et ils y ont arrêté le dictateur Manuel Noriega, l'ont littéralement enlevé et emmené aux États‑Unis pour y être jugé et emprisonné… Donc, si nous connaissons notre histoire, nous savons que de nombreuses administrations américaines ont fait exactement ce que Trump a fait, ou des choses similaires ». Le chercheur voit également dans le regard trumpien sur le monde une doctrine qui associe une nouvelle fois la puissance, le commerce et l'accès aux ressources minières. « Je pense que, fondamentalement, il y a un principe : il s'agit d'une nouvelle approche mercantiliste qui consiste essentiellement à freiner la mainmise de la Chine sur les minerais rares et à s'assurer que les États‑Unis aient effectivement accès à ces ressources. On a vu que ses efforts de “paix” dans la région des Grands Lacs, en RDC, au Rwanda, en Ukraine et ailleurs, ont aussi comporté des accords miniers. L'intervention et l'enlèvement du président vénézuélien portent évidemment aussi sur le pétrole, et je pense donc qu'une grande partie de tout cela tourne autour de la Chine, de l'équilibrage de la puissance chinoise et des garanties qu'elle ne puisse pas rivaliser avec les États‑Unis ». Adekeye Adebajo insiste sur un troisième aspect : la diplomatie trumpienne est marquée par sa volonté de défaire le multilatéralisme. C'est ainsi que les États-Unis sont récemment sortis de 66 organisations internationales. Et c'est ainsi qu'ils ont fermé l'Usaid, l'Agence américaine pour le développement international. Usaid : les lourdes conséquences d'une fermeture Le Soudan du Sud est l'un des pays qui en sort le plus affecté. L'assistance américaine a été divisée par plus de quatorze entre 2024 et 2025. Il n'aura fallu que quelques semaines après l'annonce de la fin d'Usaid pour en mesurer les conséquences dans la localité de Gurei, à l'ouest de la capitale du Soudan du Sud, Juba. Le centre de nutrition de Gurei prend en charge des enfants en malnutrition sévère. D'habitude très fréquenté, il est quasiment vide en ce mois de mars 2025. Les aliments thérapeutiques utilisés pour traiter la malnutrition infantile, les fameux sachets de pâte d'arachide enrichie fournis par l'Usaid, ne sont déjà plus disponibles depuis environ un mois. Quand Helen Furu vient faire examiner son fils Joseph, 1 an, elle doit faire ce constat douloureux : depuis la dernière visite, sa situation ne s'améliore pas, faute d'aliments thérapeutiques. « Mon mari est fonctionnaire et ça arrive souvent qu'il ne soit pas payé, confie Helen Furu. Quant à moi, quand j'étais enceinte de Joseph, je travaillais sur le marché et je me suis épuisée. Quand il est né, il était très faible et chétif. Quand il a été pris en charge ici, avec les traitements, son état s'est un peu amélioré. Chaque lundi, je viens ici pour le suivi mais ça fait un moment que les traitements à base de pâte d'arachide ne sont plus distribués, je ne sais pas trop quel est le problème. Cela m'inquiète car, quand il prend ce complément, il va mieux. J'ai envie de dire aux Américains de ne pas arrêter de soutenir les enfants du Soudan du Sud. Dans notre pays, très peu de gens vivent bien. La grande majorité souffre car il n'y a pas de travail ». Le directeur du centre de Gurei, Sarafino Doggal, porte une blouse blanche brodée du logo de l'Usaid, vestige de temps révolus. Debout dans son bureau face à un mur de tableaux statistiques, il appelle au soutien pour faire face aux besoins énormes de la population : « Hier, par exemple, nous avons reçu 325 patients venus de différents quartiers. Nous les recevons, mais le problème c'est que nous n'avons pas de médicaments. Il y a de nombreux enfants en situation de malnutrition. Vous voyez tous ces patients ? Ils viennent à la clinique le matin sans avoir pris de petit-déjeuner, pas même un thé. Ils vont passer toute leur journée ici, et puis rentrer chez eux où il n'y aura rien à manger. Les chefs communautaires m'ont dit que la situation empire, surtout en ce qui concerne la malnutrition infantile, à cause de l'arrêt des aliments thérapeutiques. Les enfants et leurs mères souffrent énormément. » Plusieurs mois ont passé et les conséquences de la fin de l'Usaid continuent à se faire sentir sur le continent, ailleurs. Comme à Addis-Abeba, la capitale éthiopienne. Aster pousse le lourd portail gris et entre dans la petite cour ombragée qui jouxte une école. Du linge encore mouillé pend sur deux longues cordes attachées à une maison blanche. Cet après-midi, une dizaine de jeunes travailleuses du sexe ont trouvé refuge, comme elle, dans ce centre d'accueil et de prévention du Sida de l'ONG éthiopienne Ishdo : « Je viens ici pour prendre une douche, me soigner, et on ne me demande pas de payer en échange. Je suis ici tous les jours depuis cinq mois, et cet endroit est très important pour moi. Je me sens heureuse et en sécurité ici. » Depuis son ouverture en décembre 2024, ce centre d'accueil est ouvert 7 jours sur 7. Hiwot Mekonnen est l'infirmière en cheffe de la structure : « Nos patientes passent le test de dépistage du VIH. Nous leur proposons également des services de planification familiale, un dépistage des problèmes de santé mentale, des violences sexistes et un test du cancer du col de l'utérus. » Plusieurs fois par semaine, l'équipe médicale organise aussi des séances de prévention, dans une petite salle aux murs tapissés d'informations sur la contraception féminine. Des préservatifs sont également à leur disposition. L'arrêt des financements de l'Usaid, bailleur principal d'Onusida qui finance la structure, a frappé de plein fouet les activités du centre. « Ces deux derniers mois, nous n'avons pu organiser ni les séances de prévention, ni les tests, explique Hiwot Mekonnen. Et si les femmes continuent leur activité sans préservatifs, cela augmentera la transmission du VIH. La situation est instable, et j'ai beaucoup de doutes ». Ces dernières années pourtant, les efforts d'Onusida avaient porté leurs fruits : 94% des personnes diagnostiquées séropositives recevaient ici un traitement antirétroviral, dit ARV. Désormais, l'agence de l'ONU doit compter sur le mémorandum signé en décembre dernier entre les gouvernements éthiopien et américain, d'un montant d'1 milliard et demi de dollars. Objectif affiché : « Renforcer les systèmes de santé publique et la prévention des maladies… »

Some Fridays feel like a finish line. And some Fridays feel like the moment you realize you've been running the whole time—quietly, bravely, on fumes and faith—while the world keeps asking you to prove it counts. In this cozy, funny, unexpectedly tender weekly wrap-up, sisters Olivia Howell and Jenny Dreizen start with the kind of behind-the-scenes chaos that is modern life and somehow end up in the deep end of what it really means to rebuild yourself.Because the conversation turns, as it always does, toward the stories we've been told—and the ones people use to control us. Olivia opens up about the unnerving experience of “dream logic” being used as manipulation: how someone can cloak pressure in spirituality, how narrative-weaving becomes a weapon, and how hard it is to name what happened when it didn't look like the usual kind of harm. Jenny calls it what it is: a form of spiritual abuse. And in that naming, there's a small, steady permission slip: if your inner world was used against you, you're not “dramatic.” You're awake.From there, it's the grounding stuff—the holy stuff, honestly: making an office feel like yours again, building tiny miniatures because your nervous system needs something gentle to hold onto, swimming because you remember your body is allowed to belong to you. Olivia shares a moment that will hit every working mom (and every entrepreneur) right in the chest: her kids asking when she'll get a “real job,” as if building a company, holding dozens of divorce support consults, and keeping an entire community of people afloat is somehow… imaginary. The takeaway lands like a hand on your back: rebuilding isn't always loud. Sometimes it's wallpaper and a calendar and a deep breath between calls—proof that your life is still yours, and you're still becoming.

In this episode, criminologist John Lott breaks down how crime statistics in the United States are being distorted — and why the public is being misled about the true state of public safety. Lott explains how major media outlets, the FBI, and local law enforcement agencies manipulate or underreport violent crime data, creating a false narrative that crime is declining even as communities experience rising violence. The conversation zeroes in on how crimes committed by illegal immigrants are frequently minimized or excluded from reporting, skewing national crime trends and masking the real impact of sanctuary city policies. Lott presents data showing elevated rates of violent crime among illegal aliens in places like New York, and explains how repeat offenders are often released back into the community despite serious criminal records. Lott also explores the demographic realities of violent crime — including how most crimes occur within similar racial and socioeconomic groups — and why ignoring these patterns leads to failed policy. He argues that political incentives, not public safety, now drive crime reporting and enforcement decisions.

True Crime Today's week in review dissects the Nick Reiner case — the legal mechanics of an insanity defense and the broken system that left Rob and Michele Reiner with no good choices.Nick Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder for stabbing his parents to death. The defense has signaled mental health will be central to the case. Sources confirm Nick was diagnosed with schizophrenia years ago and his medication was changed weeks before the killings. A sealed medical order is on file. An insanity plea is expected.Defense attorney Bob Motta explained what that means in California. The state uses the M'Naghten standard — the defense must prove Nick didn't understand his actions or didn't know they were wrong. The burden is entirely on the defense team. Bob walked us through how these cases are built, what evidence moves juries, and where Nick ends up if the defense succeeds.But here's the complication prosecutors will exploit: Nick's own admissions. On the Dopey podcast, he detailed seventeen years of gaming the system — staying sober just long enough to get released from rehab, convincing his parents to dismiss expert recommendations, engineering the arrangement that put him in their guesthouse. Can deliberate manipulation over two decades coexist with legal insanity?Rob and Michele faced an impossible choice. Let Nick go back to the streets. Or keep him close and hope he didn't kill them. Rob reportedly told friends the night before he died he was terrified of his own son. California's mental health laws offered no third option. The Lanterman-Petris-Short Act requires imminent danger for involuntary commitment. By the time that standard is met, it's already too late.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrimeToday #InsanityDefense #BobMotta #MentalHealth #CaliforniaLaw #WeekInReview #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
