They were warnings. In the final chapter of our four-part series on Science Fiction & Reality, we confront the most unsettling idea of all: the creatures that once haunted novels and movie screens were never fantasies — they were prototypes. From mutants and cyborgs to engineered viruses, mind control, cloning, and immortal elites, science fiction didn't invent our fears. It documented them in advance. Tonight, with Professor Mark Brake, we ask the forbidden question no one in power wants answered: What if the real monster was never the creature… but the human who created it? GUEST: Professor Mark Brake is a leading science communicator and author exploring the hidden feedback loop between imagination and innovation. He is the author of FutureWorld: Where Science Fiction Becomes Science and numerous bestselling books examining the real science behind Star Wars, superheroes, time travel, and the multiverse. Known for translating complex ideas into gripping narratives, Brake argues that science fiction doesn't merely entertain — it quietly shapes the laboratories, technologies, and futures we eventually inhabit.

A prisoner is challenging an Australian state's ban on inmates eating Vegemite, claiming in a lawsuit that withholding the polarizing yeast-based spread breaches his human right to "enjoy his culture as an Australian." Andre McKechnie, 54, serving a life sentence, took his battle for the salty, sticky, brown byproduct of brewing beer to the Supreme Court of Victoria, according to documents released to The Associated Press. Most Australians revere Vegemite as an unfairly maligned culinary icon, and more than 80% of Australian households are estimated to have a jar in their pantries. But inmates in all 12 prisons in Victoria are going without. McKechnie is suing Victoria's Department of Justice and Community Safety and the agency that manages the prisons, Corrections Victoria. The case is scheduled for trial next year. Vegemite has been banned from Victorian prisons since 2006, with Corrections Victoria saying it "interferes with narcotic detection dogs." Vegemite also contains yeast, which is banned from Victorian prisons because of its "potential to be used in the production of alcohol," the contraband list says. A decade ago, Vegemite's then-U.S. owner, Mondelez International, rejected media reports that remote Australian Indigenous communities were using Vegemite to brew alcohol in bathtubs. Mondelez said in a statement that the manufacturing process killed the yeast and that "Vegemite cannot be fermented into alcohol." McKechnie is seeking a court declaration that the defendants denied him his right under the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act to "enjoy his culture as an Australian." He also wants a declaration that the defendants breached the Corrections Act by "failing to provide food adequate to maintain" McKechnie's "well-being." Manufactured in Australia since 1923 as an alternative to Britain's Marmite, Vegemite was long marketed as a source of vitamin B for growing children. The spread is beloved by a majority of Australians, but typically considered an acquired taste at best by those who weren't raised on it. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
In this episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret examines how mass casualty events, media narratives, and intelligence operations are used to shape public perception and steer societies toward fear-driven compliance. Matt walks through historical and modern examples of false flag dynamics, psychological operations, and the manipulation of public emotion to justify war, surveillance, and centralized control. Joined by Ghost, the discussion traces these tactics from the French Revolution through 9/11 and into today's geopolitical flashpoints, highlighting how mob psychology is cultivated to erode individual sovereignty. The conversation also explores Zionism, communism, Fabian influence, and modern technocratic power structures, tying historical ideology to present-day censorship, pre-crime narratives, and global governance efforts. Throughout the episode, Matt emphasizes discernment, historical context, and the importance of resisting engineered narratives designed to fracture society and suppress independent thought.

Allen covers a federal judge striking down the US wind energy moratorium, calling it arbitrary and capricious. Plus Maryland opens offshore wind bids for 8.5 gigawatts, Great British Energy announces a £1 billion supply chain investment, and Nordex lands its largest US turbine deal in 25 years with Alliant Energy in Iowa.

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes’ YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! You know… they said wind power was finished. On day one of the new administration, an executive order landed on desks across Washington. Stop the turbines. Halt the permits. Shut it down. Seventeen states watched their clean energy investments… billions of dollars… suddenly frozen. The order called it a pause. Critics called it a burial. But here is what happened next. Federal Judge Patti Saris of Massachusetts looked at that order. She called it arbitrary. She called it capricious. And on December ninth… she threw it out. Wind energy… is back. The very next day after that federal judge struck down the wind moratorium… Maryland issued a new invitation for offshore wind bids. The state wants eight-point-five gigawatts of offshore wind by twenty thirty-one. Deadline for proposals… January sixteenth. You see… wind power now provides ten percent of America’s electricity. It is the United States’ largest source of renewable energy. Now… three thousand miles across the Atlantic… something else was stirring. In Britain, a state-owned company called Great British Energy unveiled a one billion pound plan. That is more than one-point-two billion dollars. Three hundred million pounds available right now… for turbine blades, transmission cables, and converter stations. The goal… not just to install clean energy… but to build it. On British soil. With British workers. CEO Dan McGrail put it simply. We are investing in British industry. Now… back here at home… in the cornfields of Iowa. The Nordex Group just announced the largest turbine deal in its twenty-five-year American history. Up to one hundred ninety wind turbines. Manufactured in West Branch, Iowa. That facility reopened just this past July. The customer… Alliant Energy. The capacity… more than one thousand megawatts. Enough electricity to power hundreds of thousands of homes. CEO Lisa Barton said they chose a local provider on purpose. “This decision promotes substantial economic development throughout our service area.” Development continues in the US for onshore and offshore wind — although it will take more time offshore wind to grow. But pay attention to what is happening in the UK with GB Energy as offshore and onshore wind production is being built within its borders. Having attended the UK Offshore Wind Supply Chain Spotlight 2025 event in Edinburgh last week, there is massive capability in the UK. And the rest of the world should learn from their efforts. That’s the wind energy news for the 15th of December 2025. Join us tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

If you're trying to understand why starter homes have vanished, why marriage and birth rates are falling, or why your kids can't afford to move out, you won't find a clearer guide than Dr. Emily Hamilton. Her latest piece in Governing, “To Support Families, Repair the Housing Ladder,” is a must-read. It makes a simple but devastating point: We've eliminated the low rungs of the housing ladder—and now we're shocked people can't climb it.Starter apartments? Outlawed. Manufactured housing? Zoned out.SROs? Gone. Family-friendly rentals? Blocked by NIMBY politics. And now the U.S. is flirting with population decline for the first time ever. This conversation explains why—and what to do about it.
Kevin and Krista discuss a thread on X this week exposing the manufactured rise of Nick Fuentes: foreign bot farms boosting "America First" with fake followers from Pakistan, India, and beyond—revealing how racial grievance ops divide from within. Plus, Kevin breaks down a recent Biola University chapel spoken-word poem pushing white guilt and Marxist-influenced liberation theology, and why it's fueling bitterness and division on both the woke right and left.

Jeffrey Epstein weaponized silence by turning it into both a shield and a currency. He used money, legal force, intimidation, and psychological manipulation to ensure that the truth about his crimes stayed buried. Survivors were silenced through a combination of nondisclosure agreements, confidential settlements, and the constant threat of being crushed financially or reputationally if they spoke out. Epstein understood that isolation was power: young victims were made to believe no one would listen, that they would be discredited, or that speaking would only invite pain. Silence wasn't just encouraged—it was engineered, reinforced by lawyers who treated secrecy as a business model and institutions that found it more convenient to look away than to confront what he was doing.Epstein extended this strategy outward, using silence as leverage over powerful people and systems. His connections in politics, finance, academia, and law enforcement created a chilling effect where questions were discouraged and scrutiny was deflected. The 2008 non-prosecution agreement institutionalized that silence, protecting Epstein while gagging victims and shielding co-conspirators from exposure. Media hesitancy, prosecutorial inaction, sealed records, and backroom deals all worked in tandem to maintain the quiet. In the end, Epstein didn't just evade justice through wealth and influence—he constructed a vacuum where truth suffocated, and that silence became the most effective tool in sustaining his criminal enterprise for decades.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein's most powerful ally was silence | Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky | The Guardian
Tinsel and Rust: How Hollywood Manufactured the Rust Belt (Oxford UP, 2025) tells the story of Hollywood's role in the shaping of the Rust Belt in the United States. During the 1970s and 1980s, filmic representations of shuttered auto plants, furloughed millworkers, and decaying downtowns in the industrial heartland contributed to pervasive narratives of American malaise and decline--informing the wider cultural view of these cities and their people. Author Michael D. Dwyer (Arcadia University) untangles the complicated relationship between Hollywood and the Rust Belt, exploring how the sociocultural image of the region has become a tool to tell stories about America's mythic past, degraded present, and potential futures.Dwyer offers a reading in twofold: through the conventional lens of film and cultural studies, and through an interdisciplinary lens that pulls in elements of cultural geography and urban studies to understand the ways in which Americans learned to interpret the cities and towns of the industrial Midwest. Each chapter spotlights a different Rust Belt city--Johnstown, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Detroit--and considers how films and filmmaking processes helped shape audiences' cultural understanding of those cities. Over the course of the book, Dwyer also examines several films which offer notable representations of the Rust Belt, including Slap Shot, The Blues Brothers, Major League, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and It Follows. Finally, the volume highlights how in more recent years, cities like Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Cleveland have all attempted to remake their public image and revitalize their economies through film and media production.

Never before has there been greater access to information about nutrition and health. But never before has there been such a low barrier to being seen as an "expert". There are large numbers of people getting information from, and basing their health decisions on, people who don't have direct expertise in the field in which they are talking about. Moreover, some promote the lack of domain expertise as a feature, not a bug. They claim that those that were conventionally seen as domain experts are either brainwashed, lazy in their thinking, or outright corrupt. And the solution is instead to look to those with a fresh perspective that can illuminate us on the "truth". In this episode, Alan and Danny discuss this "death of domain expertise", how it plays out online, and its ramifications for people's ability to get good information.

The Stolen Identity: How Modern Arab Antisemitism Was ManufacturedThis episode explores how modern antisemitism in the Arab world grew out of a manufactured Arab nationalism—engineered by political and religious leaders to mask economic decline, corruption, and authoritarian rule. It examines how entire national identities across the region were tied to the destruction of Israel, creating what can be called a “stolen identity.” Through historical analysis and cultural insight, the discussion unpacks the political manipulations that shaped collective consciousness for over 70 years and reveals how hostility toward Jews became a diversion from internal failures.#ArabNationalism; #Antisemitism; #MiddleEastPolitics; #Israel; #IdentityCrisis; #Dictatorship; #Corruption; #OrientalisticsPodcast; #FalseNarratives; #JewishHistory; #ModernMiddleEast; #MediaPropaganda; #PoliticalManipulation; #StolenIdentity; #RegionalConflict; #HistoryNarratives; #ArabLeaders; #SocioPoliticalCrisis; #Zionism; #CriticalThinking
The time was November 22, 1963 when the President of the United States, JFK was assassinated. Traumatized by the event, many citizens became stunned by the event, too much at the time to question the incident. Since then we have been analyzing the shooting questioning the official story and blaming the CIA for orchestrating the assassination. But is there enough evidence?Who had motive? Who may have been involved? Was the arrested shooter the lone gunman? These questions have been surfacing ever since to coin the phrase "conspiracy theory" as the example of the term.
In June 2025, indie veterans Deerhoof scrubbed their entire catalog from the world's dominant streaming platform. The catalyst wasn't low royalties, but Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek's investment in AI military technology through his investment firm Prima Materia. Greg Saunier and Satomi Matsuzaki explain why they are prioritizing their ethics over exposure. They argue that the "convenience" of streaming traps us in harmful systems. They'd prefer listeners explore alternative paths to hear their music. That's why the band premiered their latest single on Craigslist. And it's they half jokingly say they "would rather our fans steal our music than stream our music at this point."

Jon Herold and Chris Paul unpack a wildly chaotic news week dominated by the political establishment's increasingly desperate attempts to control the narrative. They break down the renewed hysteria around the Epstein files, why ABC is panicking, why Democrats are suddenly scrambling to distance themselves, and how Trump's timing continues to force their hand. The hosts examine Netanyahu's high-risk political maneuvers, Israel's deepening strategic crisis, and the media's contradictory framing around both U.S. foreign policy and the Gaza response. Jon and Chris also tear apart the forced “MAGA is divided” storyline, exposing coordinated influencer psyops, synthetic outrage cycles, and the hall-of-mirrors effect created when media and partisans all react to each other instead of reality. With humor, receipts, and classic Devolution analysis, they map out how the old structure is collapsing under its own contradictions, and why the public is waking up faster than the narrative managers can adapt.

Democrats have screwed the pooch in many areas. Below are just a few revelations of interest:1. In 2024, the GAO documented that Department of Homeland Security officials were instructed to suppress internal data showing that the majority of “white supremacist violence” cases were not political at all, and often not white. Meaning Democrats inflated a panic out of thin air — again.2. BLM's 2020–2022 fundraising and real estate acquisitions exceeded $90 million, yet less than 10% of those funds were distributed to Black communities. Turns out the real emergency wasn't police brutality — it was BLM's accounting department.3. Multiple FOIA disclosures from 2023–24 revealed that federal agencies coordinated with social media platforms to amplify certain “crisis narratives,” including climate and COVID content, even when internal scientists rejected those claims.

Utah's housing costs are soaring, and many wonder if the crisis is truly accidental. Richard Markosian sits down with Kimberly Burnett of Ivory Innovations to explore whether Utah's housing shortage is manufactured—sustained by policy, regulation, and zoning that keep prices high and affordable homes out of reach. They discuss how 24% of every new home's cost comes from regulation, why smaller homes and ADUs remain blocked, and what it will take for Utah's next generation to finally afford a place to call home.

Get ready for another dose of high-volume heavy metal and low-budget horror! Rex and Duff are back, and this week we're digging our nails further into the coffin of Metal Horror Films, continuing our discussion on the perfect and imperfect blending of loud riffs and cinematic gore. Then, we transition to a debate that's been rattling the scene for decades: "Built-by-the-Label" Bands. We're talking about bands that emerged from a carefully crafted marketing plan rather than the garage. Do they count? Can they make great music despite their origins? We focus on one band in particular but tough on the concept itself. Finally, we close out the show with a round of Halloween Havoc Tough Choices! We're pitting everything spooky, scary, and seasonal against each other in our popular "King of the Mountain" format. Tune in and scream along as we make some impossible decisions!

How Cops Manufactured Confessions — The True Cost of the Yogurt Shop Cover-Up This is the segment that should make every law‑and‑order headline pause. We're not rehashing the solved case — we're pulling the thread that destroyed lives for decades: the interrogation tactics, investigative tunnel vision, and prosecutorial rush that produced false confessions in the Yogurt Shop murders. On Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta sits with us and we play back the press conference moments that acknowledged what so many suspected for years: Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen confessed under intense interrogation, and there was never physical evidence tying them to the scene. We walk through how those confessions were obtained, why they stuck in courtrooms, and how the system rewarded certainty over truth. This segment breaks that process down in plain language. We explain, with examples and legal perspective, why an 18‑hour interrogation — or five hours of repeated suggestion and pressure — can make a person confess to something they never did. We talk psychological coercion: minimization, false‑evidence ploys, repeated suggestion, exhaustion — techniques that produce the appearance of confession without producing truth. Bob describes the prosecutorial incentives that let that evidence carry the day: a damning audio tape, a nervous jury, and a DA office under pressure to close a city‑shattering crime. But it's not just psychology. We cover the procedural failures: why exculpatory DNA was ignored for years, how labs and evidence management fell short, and why internal checks — from supervisory review to independent oversight — failed to catch the drift. We also tackle the human cost: men who lost their freedom, reputations, and futures; families who were misled; and the chilling reality that the real killer stayed on the road. This is a call for accountability, not spectacle. Bob lays out concrete reforms that would have prevented these confessions from being the lynchpin of a criminal case: mandatory video of all interrogations, strict limits on session length, independent review when confessions are central, and a presumption against charging when DNA excludes suspects. We finish asking the question every viewer should be asking: how many other cases are resting on coerced admissions right now? If you want a legal, psychological and human breakdown of how police failures become life sentences — and what to do about it — watch this. This isn't just a true crime story. It's a warning.

Another rooftop sniper has fired into an ICE facility in Dallas. The truth is not on the news. Copycat situation? Anti ICE? Were hit men hit? Self proclaimed journalists do very little work. Three detainees killed, no ICE injured. The rhetoric is dense. Remedial responses. Make it make sense. Are we normalizing violence against ICE? Nobody is calling out the left. This tells us a lot. Controlling information is worse than censorship. The Hoft brothers and Media Matters know what's happening. Flames are getting fanned. Narratives are faster than facts. One candidate is campaigning positively on the riots. They say death to those who disagree. Routh trained in Poland, and went to Hong Kong in 2019. Let's discuss his lawyer wife. The UN bends optics and shows fragility. Cheering an escalator. There is no safe distance from violence. Why is the right justifying it? Corruption eats our foundation. Fury without direction feeds the fire. Not clumsy, surgical. Rhetoric is moving to action. Manufactured narratives become dominant. Don't be an unpaid amplifier. Consume media slowly and protect the center. Facts first, action second. Election software since the 90's. Our secret weapon is the truth. And they do not own the people.
