In today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we explore two critical fronts of the labor movement: proactive workforce development in the trades and the legal defense of bargaining unit integrity. Segment 1: Masonry's Next Generation in Central NY Daren Gulliver, Training Director for BAC Local 2, discusses a successful partnership with New York's Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). Gulliver outlines how Local 2 is reaching students as early as age 17 to provide hands-on masonry fundamentals and clear pathways into registered apprenticeship programs. Key Insight: Why "bridge programs" and earlier recruitment are essential to combatting the skilled labor shortage while providing debt-free career stability. Segment 2: Protecting the Bargaining Unit from Technical Exclusions Kate Black, Field Director for AFSCME Council 65, breaks down a significant National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) unit clarification ruling involving Head Start teachers in Minnesota. Black explains how the employer used a "statutory supervisor" argument to narrow the bargaining unit and why this case serves as a warning for unions nationwide. Key Insight: How a single supervisory factor—effectively recommending discipline—can be used to strip workers of their union protections and what AFSCME is doing to prepare for future classification challenges.

** #131 Roasting Saints 28: Don't worry, it's not for time. ** :: At least for now! :: Divchina, Gigi and Patience listen and respond to some bonkers clips from the 28th episode of the LDS history podcast titled "Saints". :: Highlights: :: Learn how the "Relief Society" started, and how Joseph Smith twisted it his way. Discover how the Mormon secret-sacred-bullshit temple rituals started. Then marvel at how the church deals with the rituals being modified Masonry by just admitting it in a smooth calm voice, with no explanation, like it's a totally reasonable thing. Joseph Smith had different kinds of plural wives. Learn about the palatable (adultery-less) kind of plural wife, which supposedly wasn't for this physical life on Earth (time), but rather for the after-life (eternity). Then marvel at how Joseph still gets something out of it now. Learn about a fundamental church concept: If you're not sure, pray and receive your own witness from God on the matter. Then marvel at how this un-coercive sounding principle has always been weaponised to result in leaders getting what they want. #Reasons to stay home this Sunday# - https://bookofboredom.com/reasons/ #Join the Blasphemy# - https://facebook.com/groups/BookOfBoredom #Patreon (Bonus Episodes)# - https://patreon.com/BookOfBoredom #Twitter# - https://twitter.com/BookOfBoredom #TikTok# - https://tiktok.com/@BookOfBoredomPodcast #Instagram# - https://instagram.com/BookOfBoredomPodcast #YouTube# - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMjDavWoT73Cev3IAie_XBA #Website# - https://bookofboredom.com/ A nice review on any podcast platform will help frustrate the Heavenly Father's boring plans for your future.

Their work spans stone and masonry projects statewide, from historic restorations to civic and religious buildings. Co-owner and President, Robert Hicken, joins us with more. Robert Hicken: At RJ Masonry, our story began when I fell in love with masonry as a teenager and set out to build a company grounded in craftsmanship, service and integrity. Today, that commitment guides our team of more than 180 skilled professionals as we partner with architects, contractors and owners across Utah and beyond.

Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast!This episode is a bit of a crossover between construction and technology, and it's one I've been looking forward to.I sat down with Jeff Sample, who works with Bluebeam and is also the host of the ConTechCrew podcast. Jeff has spent the last decade operating at the intersection of construction and technology, helping contractors make sense of tech without the hype.Jeff's time working inside a masonry contractor gave him a clear view of how technology actually lands in the field, not just how it is sold. That experience shaped how he thinks about tech adoption, process, and where most construction businesses go wrong.We talked about why construction tech exploded so quickly, how venture capital misunderstood the industry, and why many contractors became sceptical after being sold tools that promised everything and delivered very little.Jeff also shared what genuinely excites him about where construction is heading, including the shift toward prefabrication and design for manufacturing, and why that change could reshape the industry far more than any new app.Connect with Jeff Sample:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ironmanofitPodcast: https://thecontechcrew.com/Connect with Jordan Skinner:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanaskinner/Website: https://moonshotmedia.com.au/Do you have an influential personal brand?Take the quiz to find out:http://www.constructingaleader.com/quiz

Question: I have been working through 7 Prayers that Heal the Heart and God has revealed that Masonry is a spirit that is part of my history from my Dad and grandfather who were both Masons. Do you have any specific things that I need to consider as I work through this issue towards deliverance? Answer: When Freemasons take their initial vows, they speak several curses over their chest and stomach areas, declaring that if they violate their vows, terrible things may happen to these parts of their bodies. These curses can and do cause problems for their descendants in these areas. Praise God, they can be broken by commanding the curses to be broken in Jesus' Name. You are then likely to feel a pressure lift off you, as I did when I commanded these curses to be gone from me in the name of Jesus.There are a number of prayers you can pray concerning breaking the curses of Freemasonry. They are listed here.Read more here.Support the show

Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast!Today, I'm joined by Tyler Vander Vegt from DM Construction.Tyler's story is a good reminder that construction careers don't always start with some grand plan. His dad wasn't even in construction. He was in corporate operations and equities. Then the 2008 crash hit, everything shifted, and they ended up finding a masonry business for sale on Craigslist. Yeah, Craigslist.That business was Dutch's Masonry. Tyler came in a couple of years later as the second employee. Fast forward to today, and they've rebranded to DM Construction, expanded into multiple states, and grown into a full turnkey exterior cladding contractor doing $20M to $25M a year.We talked about what it's like building a business in cold-weather markets where wrapping buildings is normal, and how something that keeps crews productive can also turn into a safety nightmare if it's done wrong.Tyler's big on being intentional. Knowing who you are, what you do best, and being willing to walk away from the wrong work, even when it's tempting to say yes just to keep people busy.Tyler's also training for a full Ironman next year, which feels pretty on brand for someone who likes doing hard things the hard way.Connect with Tyler Vander Vegt:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-vander-vegt-58388446/Website: https://www.dmconstruction.com/Connect with Jordan Skinner:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanaskinner/Website: https://moonshotmedia.com.au/Do you have an influential personal brand?Take the quiz to find out:http://www.constructingaleader.com/quiz

In this Season 2 finale, David and Gene synthesize their entire journey through Gnosticism, revealing how the four texts they covered create a complete initiatory system for spiritual awakening.After exploring the Perennial Philosophy through Freemasonry's "Key to the Mysteries" in Season 1, they discovered what that key unlocks: the suppressed wisdom of Gnosticism - teachings so dangerous to institutionalized religious control that possessing these texts once meant execution. This episode traces the path from spiritual sleep to enlightened awareness through:The Secret Gospel of John's cosmic blueprint of consciousness,The Gospel of Thomas's paradoxical wisdom designed to short-circuit dualistic thinking,The Trimorphic Protennoia's first-person autobiography of the Universal Mind discovering itself, andThe Thunder, Perfect Mind's paradoxical declarations that shatter all notions of separation.David and Gene map these texts onto the ancient Gnostic initiatory framework using the symbol of a point within a circle with:Hylics identified with the material world (the circle's edge),Psychics identified with mind and emotion (the radius line bridging matter and spirit), andPneumatics who have achieved direct knowledge of their divine nature (the center point).Each text addresses a specific stage on this journey from identification with the body to recognition that individual consciousness is not separate but rather the One Universal Mind experiencing itself through countless perspectives.The ultimate revelation? The Thunder, Perfect Mind's closing promise echoes The Gospel of Thomas's opening declaration: those who find this wisdom will not taste death, for they recognize themselves as the deathless consciousness that animates all life.

Allatra is what esteemed cult expert Joe Szimhart calls an 'autocratic self-sealing system,' which is to say that it traps followers in the imaginarium of its creator, as do all destructive cults. Allatra is a mish-mash of the usual supernaturalist notions channelled by its leader and recorded in an 800-page text that Joe has reviewed for an upcoming International Cultic Studies journal.Allatra is pan-Slavic. The idea that there is a pure Slavic race rose up in opposition to pan-Germanism in the dying embers of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Pan-Germanism led to the horrors of Nazism. The Nazis disproved their own hypothesis by taking hundreds of thousands of elaborate measurements. Even after a dozen years, they were unable to tell Teuton 'Aryans' from 'Mediterraneanoids' or Semites (explored in Jon's new If Scientology Ruled the World).Allatra follows the 'neo-Traditional' path of Putin advisor Aleksandr Dugin, who believes that feudal society is preferable to democracy. In this view, a society of slaves would be governed by a small blue-blooded aristocracy.As ever, this is a wide-ranging discussion, touching on Gnosticisn, Lucifer, the Mystery Cults, Masonry, Helena Blavatsky, Anthroposophy, the Silicon Valley cult, and the hi-jacking of the imagination by self-serving 'visionaries' whose authority relies upon symbolism and supernaturalism.Buy Jon's new book hereand more about Allatra

In this concluding episode on "The Thunder, Perfect Mind," Gene and David navigate the profound paradoxes of one of Gnosticism's most enigmatic texts. The voice of Barbelo - divine consciousness itself - speaks through declarations that shatter conventional understanding: "I am godless, and I am the one whose God is great," "I am control and the uncontrollable," "I am peace, and war has come because of me." These aren't riddles to be solved intellectually, but invitations to experiential awakening. Each paradox forces a confrontation with the persistent question: who is the "you" that experiences both honor and scorn, shame and shamelessness, closeness and distance?The discussion reveals how these thunderous statements point toward non-duality and the illusion of separation. David and Gene explore how the text functions as a mirror reflecting the entire human condition - the consciousness that remains constant while experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions and circumstances. Drawing connections to the Hermetic axiom "as above, so below," Egyptian mysteries of Maat's judgment, and Bernardo Kastrup's philosophy of consciousness, they demonstrate how ancient wisdom anticipated modern understandings of the nature of reality itself.The episode culminates with the text's most radical teaching: "What is inside of you is what is outside of you... it is visible and it is your garment." This obliterates the final duality between self and world, revealing consciousness as the underlying substance of all existence. The text promises that those who stop identifying with "fleeting passions" and temporary forms will find their "resting place" where they "will live, and they will not die again" - a Gnostic vision of awakening to our undying essence.
Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Conrad Hahn, Past Executive Secretary of the MSANA, and is brought to us by Bro Matt Bowers, of Mt Ararat Lodge #44 and host of the Scottish Rite Journal Podcast. Fellowcraft Masons remember from the Winding Stairs lecture the placement of the Globes atop the pillars of Joachin and Boaz, but how did these symbols enter into Masonry? Here we have an excellent discussion, and in this season of Thanksgiving, let us all remember our brothers from all around the earthly globe, and hope for future festivities from the extents of the celestial globe. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

The Masonic Roundtable - Freemasonry Today for Today's Freemasons
In Part II of our deep dive into the Masonic roots of classic horror, we turn our attention to Frankenstein and Zombies—two icons that raise profound questions about creation, consciousness, and the corruption of knowledge. Was Dr. Frankenstein's pursuit of the "spark of life" a reflection of Masonic enlightenment gone awry? Do the walking dead symbolize the spiritually uninitiated—those who have yet to awaken to light? Join us as we dissect the alchemical, moral, and esoteric layers of these tales, tracing how the themes of reanimation, resurrection, and responsibility echo through both the Lodge and the laboratory.
