Mark Richards (1953–) is a convicted murderer serving life without parole in California State Prison, SolanoWikipedia's W.svg at Vacaville, California.[1] He prefers to be known as "Captain" Richards, although he never served in the military. After graduating from high school in 1971, he attended the College of Marin and then graduated from Dominican College in San Rafael in 1976. He has spun multiple bizarre yarns about his service in the so-called "Secret Space Program" battling alien forces, in addition to his imaginary service in the US NavyInvestigation by a journalist from the Marin Independent Journal revealed a dimension to the murder that was literally incredible. The writer, Erik Ingram, reported that behind the Baldwin murder "may be a secret organization, called Pendragon, that appeared to be planning an armed takeover of Marin." Ingram reported that police detectives had retrieved from Richards' home maps, aerial photographs of Marin County, plans for a laser-gun, instructions for the construction of machine-guns, and "notebooks containing references to a new form of government." He wrote that behind the Baldwin murder "may be a secret organization, called Pendragon, that appeared to be planning an armed takeover of Marin."In the weeks that followed, a number of witnesses came forward with stories indicating that the Pendragon group in fact existed. Crossie Hoover told investigators that one of the inducements to the murder was Richards' promise to appoint him Duke of Angel's Island. It appears that Richards fantasized about converting Marin County into a version of King Arthur's Camelot, with himself as King. He allegedly promoted plans in meetings with his workers to take over Marin County by destroying the Golden Gate and Richmond-San Rafael bridges and placing a laser gun on top of Mount Tamalpais. Carl Shapiro, a San Anselmo attorney representing Richards, asserted that the documents found by the police were research materials for a science-fiction book (Imperial Marin) that Richards was writing. The prosecution countered that regardless of Richards's writing, he used the Pendragon material to manipulate Hoover into committing the murder.Starting in November 2013, Richards became a major source for conspiracy theorist Kerry Cassidy. On that date Cassidy conducted a 1h 18m video interview[2] at the prison in Vacaville. Cassidy regards Richards as an important whistleblower exposing the "Secret Space Program." She has said that he was framed for the Baldwin murder, and that he is imprisoned by the Illuminati-Draco run planetary government.[3][note 1] At the time of writing Cassidy says she has conducted nine interviews with Richards, for an aggregate time over 14 hours. Since recording devices are not allowed in the prison, the normal format of these videos is Cassidy speaking to camera recalling what was said immediately after her meeting with the convict. Her tenth Interview with Richards was released in March, 2019.Much of the material consists of tales of personal heroism, as Richards commands exotic space battleships fighting and defeating aliens. He commanded an Orion battleship at the asteroid Vesta in August 1979. Soon after that, he led an attack against aliens to reclaim a secret base at Dulce, New Mexico. The aliens had violated a treaty and abducted humans for experimentation.[4]Richards claims that he was on active duty at the age of 13, with a high security clearance. After graduating from high school, Richards said he became an Army officer flying helicopters in Vietnam and later became a Navy Captain. He also claims to be a Rhodes Scholar with several advanced degrees and to be a member at the highest levels of the Republican National Committee. Neither Cassidy or Richards have provided documentation to support his claims.[5]Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Brad Geary is a Navy Captain and Commanding Officer at Naval Special Warfare Basic Training Command. Geary boasts an incredible twenty four year career in NSW. Captain Geary has completed numerous deployments throughout the world while serving in leadership positions at SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team Two, SEAL Team Four, and Naval Special Warfare Tactical Development and Evaluation Squadron Three. Geary's career now hangs in the balance due to a Navy probe into the mysterious death of trainee and Seaman Kyle Mullen, who tragically lost his life during the infamous training period known as "Hell Week." The Navy investigation initially pinned blame on the training cadre, but as pressure from Congress and Geary's testimony grows, a different narrative is coming to light. Geary's attorney stated that "when all the key facts emerge, the Navy's improper actions will be exposed -- and it will be undeniable that Capt. Geary is being scapegoated as part of a larger scheme to cover up massive failures and abuses of power at the highest levels of the Navy."

We had the pleasure to host Kingston, Ontario's own Boston Bruins Stanley Cup winner Rick Smith at Home Base recently, and sit with our own Senior Director of Clinical Services Navy Capt (Ret.) Dr. Joe Bonvie. Joe and Rick talk about the mental and physical toll on the mind and body that happens in and outside the rink. Rick tells us about his journey post-retirement in the woods up north, and how finding new identity and purpose that he always had in hockey for years was far from easy to come by. Rick and Joe talk about a social hub of sorts in Kandahar, Afghanistan that existed for years on a military base with a full-sized ball-hockey rink transported by the Canadians in 2007, and how bringing the Stanley Cup with them overseas was good medicine for many in need.A happy 100th Anniversary to the mighty Boston Bruins, as they lead 3:1 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Toronto Maple Leafs, facing off TONIGHT April 30th at Game 5!

Host Gregg N. Sofer welcomes Husch Blackwell's Erik Dullea to the podcast to explore how human error factors into cybersecurity efforts. Most data breaches trace back to some form of human error, and an approach to cybersecurity that doesn't address the ‘social attack surface' is likely to be a failing—and expensive—proposition.Gregg and Erik note the recent cyber incident involving the Securities and Exchange Commission, which occurred mere months after the agency imposed wide-reaching cybersecurity disclosure rules on the public companies it regulates. Aside from being a major embarrassment for the U.S. government, the incident highlights how difficult it is to account for the vulnerabilities in digital networks created by humans, and Gregg and Erik provide some practical considerations for risk professionals, in-house counsel, human resource professionals, and others in their efforts to improve cybersecurity outcomes.Gregg N. Sofer BiographyFull BiographyGregg counsels businesses and individuals in connection with a range of criminal, civil and regulatory matters, including government investigations, internal investigations, litigation, export control, sanctions, and regulatory compliance. Prior to entering private practice, Gregg served as the United States Attorney for the Western District of Texas—one of the largest and busiest United States Attorney's Offices in the country—where he supervised more than 300 employees handling a diverse caseload, including matters involving complex white-collar crime, government contract fraud, national security, cyber-crimes, public corruption, money laundering, export violations, trade secrets, tax, large-scale drug and human trafficking, immigration, child exploitation and violent crime.Erik Dullea BiographyFull BiographyErik is a Denver-based partner at Husch Blackwell and heads up the firm's cybersecurity practice. A retired U.S. Navy Captain, Erik focuses on compliance requirements related to cybersecurity and data privacy, including statutory, regulatory, and consensus-based standards, with an emphasis on critical infrastructure sectors such as aviation, energy, mining, and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). He represents defense contractors and subcontractors; companies underpinning electrical, healthcare, transportation, and water systems; and other major organizations facing extortion threats from malicious foreign cyber actors. In 2022 and 2023, Erik bolstered his knowledge of cyber threats by returning to public service in a civilian capacity, working in the National Security Agency's Office of General Counsel as the acting deputy chief of the cybersecurity practice group. Additional ResourcesThe Justice Insiders, Episode 17, “Incidents in the Material World: SEC Adopts New Cybersecurity Rules.” September 11, 2023Steven R.

    Listen in as we explore the journey of retired Navy Captain Paul B. Roach, MD, FACS, where he shares his valuable deployment experiences that led to significant improvements in combat casualty care.  From his early deployments as a flight surgeon in Okinawa to his gritty 14-month stint in Afghanistan, Dr. Roach offers a riveting account of combat surgery that will captivate and enlighten.  There, he learned the delicate dance of trauma algorithms and rhythms of combat surgery.     Dr. Roach explains his motivations to capture his experiences, trials, and triumphs in his memoir, Citizen Surgeon. His deeply moving recollections underscore the critical importance of training and preparation for those deployed, and his mantra of "perfect practice makes perfect" will leave lasting impressions. In an in-depth discussion, we delve into the American College of Surgeons' military-specific curriculum and how it prepares surgeons for the realities of the battlefield.   Finally, we navigate the evolution of Military Medicine through Dr. Roach's lens. His career trajectory showcases not just the rigors of deployment but also the harsh reality of transitioning home and the importance of family support. As a Navy Medical Corps Officer, a physician, and a mentor preparing the next generation of Military Medical professionals, Dr. Roach's narratives are an essential listen for anyone interested in the converging worlds of medicine and the military. This episode promises a wealth of insights and real-world experiences from the frontline of Military Medicine.   Chapters: (0:00:00) - Early Military Medical Experiences (0:07:06) - Surgical Oncology Career Path & Specialization (0:15:38) - Combat Surgery (0:29:18) - Military Specific Curriculum for Combat Surgeons (0:34:46) - The Evolution of Military Medicine   Chapter Summaries: (0:00:00) - Early Military Medical Experiences (7 Minutes) We talk with retired Navy Captain Paul B.

He explains how his training in surgical oncology prepared him for any area he was called upon to work in and how he had to adjust to the trauma algorithms and rhythms of combat surgery. He shares his experience of writing his memoir, Citizen Surgeon, as a way to process his experience and to understand his deployment. He dealt with situations that were outside of his comfort zone, such as pediatric gunshot wounds, and used his med school and residency training to remind himself that he was capable of carrying out the mission.   (0:29:18) - Military Specific Curriculum for Combat Surgeons (5 Minutes) Dr. Roach's experience with the American College of Surgeons' military-specific curriculum and exam is discussed. He explains how his training and practice prepared him for his deployments, including his stance on providing care to enemy combatants.

Take Home Messages: Transitioning from point-of-injury battlefield care to an operating room requires immense adaptability and resilience, as both environments demand unique skill sets and mental preparedness. Military medicine plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's career, especially when they transition from military service to civilian life. A compelling narrative of frontline experience can provide valuable insights and lessons, contributing to improvements in combat casualty care. The importance of 'perfect practice' is highlighted as a key to achieving excellence in the medical field, especially in high-pressure situations. The evolution of military medicine has seen a convergence of medical expertise and military discipline, which has led to more effective healthcare for both military and civilian populations. Multidisciplinary tumor boards play a vital role in cancer patient care, emphasizing the importance of a team-based approach to healthcare. Continuous training and preparation are crucial for medical professionals, particularly those deployed in combat zones. Writing and sharing personal experiences can help medical professionals process their experiences and understand their roles better. Deployed medical professionals face unique challenges and require certain skill sets that differ from those used in traditional hospital settings. The transition from military service to civilian life can be difficult, underscoring the importance of having strong support systems in place.

On today's show, we are talking about knee replacement surgery with Dawn Richardson, a friend I met in my last couple of years in the Army. Dawn is a retired Navy Captain, former restaurant manager, and former Bed and Breakfast owner who is delighted to say she's now retired and finds fulfillment in her volunteer activities and personal pursuits.  About 4% of people 50 and older have knee replacements.  At age 80, that number is above 10%. The average age is 65 and more women than men have knee replacements.  Three facts we were surprised to hear after speaking with Dawn:  You aren't supposed to travel for 6 weeks  You aren't supposed to kneel on that knee for 6 months  You shouldn't have any non-emergency dental work for 6 months to include cleanings These surgeries have evolved greatly after the use of minimally invasive scope-type surgeries.   Total knee replacement is a type of surgery to replace a damaged knee joint. A minimally invasive surgery uses a smaller cut (incision) than a traditional total knee replacement. This type of surgery typically requires special tools so that the surgery team can see and do the procedure through the smaller incision. The knee has several parts: the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), the upper end of the shin bone (tibia), and the kneecap (patella). A smooth substance called cartilage caps the ends of these bones and keeps the bones from grinding together. When there is damage to the knee joint, these bones may scrape together abnormally and cause pain. During minimally invasive total knee replacement, your surgeon makes an incision to access your shinbone and thigh bone. Next, he or she removes a portion of the bones that make up the knee joint. Your surgeon replaces these bone parts with metal components that recreate the joint surface. A layer of plastic is placed between the metal components for smooth gliding. Minimally invasive total knee replacement often takes place under general or spinal anesthesia. (credits: Johns Hopkins Medical)
