What happens to religion if humanity discovers we're not alone in the universe? This week, Frank and Dan explore one of the biggest theological questions imaginable: aliens. Would Christianity survive first contact? Would extraterrestrials need their own Jesus? Could they arrive with a religion more advanced than our own? Along the way, we also discuss an Iranian singer punished for performing without a hijab, RFK Jr.'s push for faith-based addiction treatment, anti-Muslim opposition to a new Islamic center in New Mexico, Christian nationalism, and a bizarre fight over Bible verses on MLB Pride hats.

This week's Bitesize episode comes from a fascinating conversation I had with Tristan Scroggins in 2021.In this section Tristan reflects on what it means to come to bluegrass as an 'outsider' and how culture and connection aren't just about geographical borders.Growing up in New Mexico, despite learning traditional bluegrass from his father, Tristan felt a disconnect from the roots of the music. Later, when he moved to Nashville, he found himself wondering exactly why he loves bluegrass so much. Whether we're taking about European festival fans reacting to bluegrass (and the culture they perceive accompanies it), or the generation of northern and western musicians who came to bluegrass in the 1960s and 70s as a result of the folk revival, there's a common thread of music transcending boundaries. As a Brit coming to this music from outside both the region and the culture, yet feeling like I somehow belong, I find these conversations fascinating.You can hear my full interview with Tristan on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.For more on Tristan, head to tristanscroggins.com or follow Tristan on Instagram Support the show===Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)Bluegrass Jam Along is proud to be sponsored by Collings Guitars and Mandolins and Token premium guitar picks- Sign up to get updates on new episodes - Free fiddle tune chord sheets- Here's a list of all the Bluegrass Jam Along interviews- Follow Bluegrass Jam Along for regular updates:InstagramFacebook- Review us on Apple Podcasts
Annie Farmer testified during Ghislaine Maxwell's federal trial that she was just 16 years old when Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein flew her to Epstein's ranch in New Mexico under the guise of an academic retreat. Farmer explained that she initially believed the trip was meant to provide her with educational and career opportunities. Instead, she said the experience quickly turned uncomfortable and exploitative. She recalled Maxwell giving her a massage during which Maxwell touched her breasts, an incident that left her feeling frozen and terrified. She also testified that Epstein had climbed into her bed unexpectedly and caressed her without consent. Farmer described feeling "panicked" and manipulated by two adults who had promised mentorship and safety.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon uncovers a bombshell hearing on Capitol Hill, where Postmaster General David Steiner made a pivotal announcement regarding mail-in ballots. Steiner confirmed that the Postal Service would not deliver ballots from states that refuse to comply with President Trump's executive order mandating the vetting of state voter rolls by the Justice Department. This declaration sets a significant precedent in the ongoing debate over election integrity and is expected to lead to legal battles ahead.Joining Solomon is Congressman Keith Self from Texas, a staunch advocate for the Save America Act. Self shares his insights on the importance of this legislation and suggests that Congress should be compelled to vote on it daily, a strategy that could alter the legislative landscape.The episode also delves into a new scandal reminiscent of the Fast and Furious operation, this time involving fentanyl. A decorated DEA agent has come forward with allegations that over one million deadly fentanyl pills were allowed to flood the streets of New Mexico due to negligence from federal agencies. Solomon speaks with Tristan Leavitt, the agent's lawyer from the Empower Over Oversight Whistleblower Center, to discuss the implications of these allegations and the potential consequences of federal inaction on public health.Finally, Solomon addresses critical federal election rulings pending before the Supreme Court, with insights from Hans von Spakovsky, a leading campaign finance expert. They explore the significance of a key case in Mississippi and its potential to shape the future of elections in the United States.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
June 28, 2004. Newberry Springs, California. After experiencing a rough six months living in California, 30-year old April Pitzer makes plans to return to her home state of Arkansas to live with her mother, but before she can make the trip, she vanishes without explanation. Shortly before she went missing, April had crossed paths with the wife of a man who had gone to prison years earlier after she testified as an informant in a federal drug case, leading April to fear that her life might be in danger. A year-and-a-half later, some of April's personal belongings are found scattered in a remote mining area of the Mojave Desert, but even though a number of abandoned mine shafts are searched and some sketchy local residents are looked at as potential suspects, no trace of April is ever found. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the tragic story of April Pitzer, who went missing after finding herself trapped in a dangerous situation.

On today's episode, we are breaking down the 2026 state legislative season and how the landscape affecting nonprofit advocacy is shifting across the country. We are recording this in mid-June, and while most states have wrapped up for the year, not all have, so you are going to want to look at your state to get a sense of what's enacted, what's moving, and what's dead. What we're seeing this year is not just incremental change, but a rapid expansion of state-level regulation over campaign finance, ballot measures, voter access, and increasingly, what we are calling foreign influence laws or national security-style frameworks applied to civil society. Attorneys for this episode Maggie Ellinger-Locke Susan Finkle Sourlis Natalie Ossenfort Shownotes Overview · This year, 46 states plus DC held legislative sessions. · We tracked roughly 1,000 bills that could impact nonprofit advocacy. · Of those bills that have now become law, almost half relate to state campaign finance and / or ballot measure processes. · Perhaps the biggest story of the 2026 legislative session is the expansion of laws that borrow concepts from national security and apply them to nonprofit advocacy. New Campaign Finance Laws · Louisiana increased the threshold triggering disclosure for certain campaign contributions. · West Virginia now not only prevents the public disclosure of certain contributor information, but also created a new criminal penalty for violations of the disclosure prohibition. · Kansas eliminated the requirement for political committees to disclose the names of vendors when reporting disbursements New Ballot Measure Procedures · Ballot measure legislation accounted for 20% of the bills we monitored, about 350 pieces of legislation. Here, we saw 22 laws enacted across 13 states plus DC. · Both Wisconsin and Utah now require signature gatherers to be at least 18 y.o. · New York now requires legislators to draft questions at an 8th grade reading level or below, and Maryland did something similar. · South Dakota eliminated the requirement to place ballot measures on a separate ballot from candidate elections. · In Missouri, voters will decide this August whether to approve a change to that state's ballot measure procedures. Currently, in order to pass, measures need a simple statewide majority, but under Amendment 4, a majority in all eight of the state's congressional districts would be required. New Lobbying and Ethics Laws · This type of legislation constituted about 13% of all bills we tracked. · In Minnesota, certain lobbying communications conveyed to the public must now include a disclaimer to identify the lobbying principal, who is responsible for the communication. Laws Related to Law Enforcement Presence at the Polls and Voting · Legislation was enacted in California, Maryland, New Mexico, and Connecticut to restrict law enforcement presence at the polls. · The new Connecticut law also removed the statutory list of reasons required to vote absentee, effectively allowing no-excuse absentee voting. It also permits 17-year-olds who will be 18 by election day to vote early or by absentee ballot. · Kansas moved up the deadline for early voting. · Mississippi now requires ballot counting to be finalized on the night of the election.[SS1] [ME2] Foreign Influence Laws · We made note of 89 such bills filed across 26 states and 12 laws enacted across seven states. · Florida enacted a domestic terrorist organization (DTO) designation framework that will allow the state to designate certain groups as terrorist organizations and then criminalize any support those groups receive from that point forward. · In Indiana, a new law authorizes the designation of domestic groups and individuals as "affiliates" of federally designated foreign terrorist organizations. The same law creates new investigatory powers for the state AG. · Other foreign influence laws we saw enacted this session come out of Alabama, Iowa, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, all of which seek to curb the flow of money into elections from overseas. Takeaways & Reminders · Many of the most significant experiments in regulating nonprofit advocacy are now occurring at the state level. · Compliance teams should continue to update and refine their review processes to ensure any obligations that could be triggered by state-specific rules are being met. · Remember that states differ on when and whether a ballot measure committee must register, what counts as a contribution or expenditure, when disclaimers are required, and what donor disclosure rules apply. These rules are in active evolution. · When it comes to foreign influence or terrorist designation laws, states are increasingly willing to experiment with new regulatory frameworks. · It is critical to stay informed about developments in your state and remain vigilant to ensure your nonprofit is flexing its advocacy might to the fullest extent possible under the law.
There's a lot on the docket today. To pull apart the Iran “deal” framework, Mary and Andrew are joined by Tess Bridgeman, an international law expert who served as a legal advisor in the Obama administration through the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Tess lays out how President Trump's 14-point memorandum of understanding differs from what was brokered in 2015, and what to watch for as negotiations continue. Before she joins, the co-hosts begin by analyzing several examples of what Mary calls the Trump Justice Department's "consistent effort” to avoid judicial review: their refusal to put into a sworn declaration that they won't move forward with the “Anti-Weaponization” fund and a motion to dismiss a Clean Air Act violation lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI data center in Mississippi. They also tackle a few instances where, contrastingly, the government has positioned itself “on the offense” this week, including an indictment of 15 protesters on a conspiracy charge against ICE and the DHS' intent to build a border wall through a holy landmark atop Mount Cristo Rey in New Mexico.

Episode 8 escalates the bitter war between Ova Noss and the United States military from bureaucratic red tape into outright hostility. Based entirely on the exhaustive, decades-long research of investigative author John Clarence (the pen name of Jack Staley), this episode details how the U.S. Army systematically dismantled Ova's physical access to Victoria Peak. Under the command of Brigadier General George Eddy—who openly displayed a map of the treasure site in his office and explicitly threatened that Ova and her daughter would be "shot on sight" if they returned—the military transformed from a neighboring installation into a hostile occupying force.The climax of this David versus Goliath struggle arrives on July 23, 1955. Despite holding valid state prospecting permits that were not set to expire for another three months, Ova and her excavation crew were forcibly ejected from the Hembrillo Basin without any due process of law. The timing was agonizing, as Ova's crew had just uncovered a diagnostic sign carved into the lower shaft and believed they were only feet away from the treasure. Upon a brief, permitted return to the site shortly after the eviction, the family discovered a heartbreaking and gruesome scene: the military had padlocked their excavated shafts, shot their rock house camp full of bullet holes, and left Ova's beloved horses dead and bloated inside their corral.To survive this onslaught, Ova relied on a complex legal loophole and a dedicated group of allies. While the federal government had condemned the surface of the land to expand the White Sands Proving Ground, the state of New Mexico legally retained the subsurface mineral rights. With the help of loyal contractors, proxy filers, supportive U.S. Senators, and New Mexico Land Commissioner Guy Shepard, Ova managed to keep her legal claim alive on paper. Yet, she found herself fighting a multi-front war, battling not only the Army's brute force and corrupt local politicians, but also facing devastating allegations that her own sons had secretly sold her out for million-dollar payoffs.Tune in to hear how the tragic 1955 eviction officially transitioned Victoria Peak from a private family mining claim into a restricted military vault, perfectly setting the stage for the massive, top-secret government thefts to come. And remember, if you want to read the definitive account of this incredible saga, you can secure a rare, signed copy of John Clarence's Gold House trilogy by contacting Jeff Crudele directly at podcastjfk@gmail.com.
In Episode 6, the simmering tensions between Milton "Doc" Noss and his double-crossing partner, Charlie Ryan, finally boil over into a deadly 48-hour window. Based on the exhaustive, decades-long research of investigative author John Clarence (the pen name of Jack Staley), this gripping episode breaks down the frantic, minute-by-minute events of March 4th and 5th, 1949. The chaos begins with a tragic airplane crash at Victoria Peak involving Doc's stepson, Marvin Beckwith, which provides Doc with the perfect cover to slip away from Ryan's watchful eyes without raising suspicion.Knowing that Ryan was planning to steal 110 gold bars and fly them to Mexico without him, Doc seized this momentary distraction to act. Under the cover of a freezing desert night, he enlisted the help of a rodeo cowboy named Tony Jolly. Together, they embarked on a frantic midnight operation, digging up roughly 4,000 pounds of crude gold bullion and scrambling to re-bury the 110 bars across several new, secret caches. By dawn, the gold was safely hidden from Ryan, but Doc had unknowingly set the stage for his own demise.The climax of the episode arrives at noon on March 5th in Hatch, New Mexico. Furious that the gold was missing, Ryan marched Doc into a rented house at gunpoint. Following a chaotic scuffle where Doc shoved a table into Ryan and attempted to flee toward his truck, Ryan shot the unarmed Doc Noss just below his right eye, killing him instantly against his front bumper. With that single gunshot, the man who held the keys to the greatest treasure in North American history was silenced forever.Adding insult to fatal injury, the episode concludes with the staggering mockery of justice that followed. Listeners will be stunned to learn that both the presiding judge and the defense attorney in Ryan's murder trial were actually secret investors in Doc's mining company—a glaring conflict of interest that ultimately allowed Ryan to walk away a free man, despite the testimony of five eyewitnesses who watched him shoot a fleeing man. Tune in to hear the tragic final hours of Doc Noss.

Episode 5 takes us deeper into the post-WWII era, where personal betrayal and unprecedented military expansion collide to choke the Noss family's access to the gold. Based entirely on the exhaustive, decades-long research of investigative author John Clarence (the pen name of Jack Staley), this episode explores Milton "Doc" Noss's spiraling paranoia and his prolonged absences from Victoria Peak. In a shocking maneuver, Doc secretly annulled his marriage to Ova in an Arkansas court in October 1945 and later married another woman, a decision that plunged the Cheyenne Mining Company—and the legal rights to the treasure itself—into a chaotic battle for control.While the Noss family fractured from within, the U.S. Army transformed from a neighboring presence into an occupying force. In a truly surreal twist of history, the military utilized the newly formed White Sands Proving Ground to host Operation Paperclip, a top-secret initiative that brought 350 Nazi scientists and captured V-2 rocket components to the New Mexico desert. Even more astonishing are the allegations that stolen Holocaust loot and Nazi gold were covertly brought to the United States under this classified cover and hidden within the very same cave systems as the Noss treasure.As the military initiated condemnation proceedings to seize exclusive possession of the land, a defiant Ova Noss stepped up to legally secure the family's claim, successfully reorganizing the company and filing renewals in her own name. Meanwhile, a drifting and financially desperate Doc formed a fateful partnership with a Texas businessman named Charlie Ryan in late 1948. What began as a front for a lead and silver mining operation was actually an elaborate scheme to smuggle the Victoria Peak gold into Old Mexico using a surplus DC-3 aircraft. However, this volatile alliance quickly soured as Doc's erratic behavior, heavy drinking, and history of swindling pushed Ryan to his breaking point.Tune in to hear how this intricate web of secret marriages, military takeovers, and dangerous smuggling plots set the perfect stage for Doc's tragic demise.

Dr. Mike is back with a bonus episode nobody scheduled, because the screwworm did not check our calendar. The New World screwworm has arrived in the United States for the first time in sixty years, confirmed in Texas and New Mexico, with a quarantine zone now covering fourteen Texas counties. While livestock take the hardest hit, cats are absolutely at risk, because the fly lays her eggs in any open wound, and even a small scratch or post-surgical incision is enough of an invitation. The saving grace is that a year of preparation preceded this moment, with FDA emergency use authorizations now covering cats, including Credelio Cat and NexGard COMBO, and most recently a generic over-the-counter nitenpyram option that kills larvae within hours. Dr. Mike explains what living in the affected zone actually means for your cat, and whether the screwworm's steady northward march through Central America and Mexico is likely to continue up the map. We also cover the other infection keeping feline medicine on its toes: H5N1 in cats. More than 130 feline cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 have been confirmed across the United States, from barn cats to strictly indoor pets, and cats appear to be exquisitely sensitive to the virus. The mortality rate sits somewhere between fifty and seventy percent, and whether infected cats can pass the virus to other cats remains an open and uncomfortable question. Two infections, one episode, and a very compelling argument for keeping your cat's wounds clean and your raw milk off the menu. Do not miss this one.miss.Thanks for tuning in to the Purr Podcast with Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle!If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review—it really helps other cat lovers and vet nerds find the show.

CannCon and Ghost open the final show before GART week in Deadwood with a Tuesday packed with stories that connect in ways most people are not seeing. An AP investigation with a named whistleblower reveals the DEA knowingly allowed 74,000 fentanyl pills to flood New Mexico between 2023 and 2025 to catch bigger fish while running the "one pill can kill" public campaign at the same time. Bill Pulte walks into ODNI and CNN immediately runs a smear piece while Letitia James attacks his qualifications despite simultaneously backing Jay Clayton, who has identical gaps in intelligence experience. Ghost and CannCon apply the white hat versus black hat framework and explain why neither applies: incentive-based leverage is how this operation actually works. A federal judge blocks the SAVE database cross-referencing Social Security and citizenship data, and CannCon asks the only relevant question: who issues your Social Security number and who determines citizenship status? In geopolitics, Ghost delivers a layered breakdown of Colombia's contested election, tracing the Alex Saab connection to De La Espriella, the Smartmatic globalist pivot of 2014, and why Hispanic neocon Republicans are backing a Maduro ally while publicly opposing Maduro. A viral JD Vance Qatar slight gets debunked with the full video.
NEW MERCH OUT TODAY 5PM EST: https://luminarythreads.shopFive NCAA titles. One backwards hat. Zero apologies.Habtom Samuel is not a guy who talks much—he lets the track do it. The University of New Mexico junior just capped a historic 2025–2026 season by sweeping the 5,000 and 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, becoming the most decorated athlete in Lobos history. In this episode, Dominic sits down with Habtom the week after the titles to find out what it actually feels like.The conversation covers the full arc: growing up in Eritrea, the culture shock of arriving in Albuquerque with no family nearby, and the quiet determination that carried him through a sophomore year of four runner-up finishes. Habtom opens up about that 2025 NCAA Cross Country final—the one where he lost his shoe midway through the race, kept charging, and still nearly caught Graham Blanks. He talks through the indoor DQ, the decision to work on his kick, and the precise moment in the outdoor 5,000m final where he knew it was time to move on Marco Langan.There is also real warmth here. Habtom talks about what it means to train alongside Josh Kerr, what the Hoka NIL deal has meant for his family back home, and why he refuses to let anything (a lost shoe, a disqualification, a trash-talk headline) pull his focus from what he can control.

New Mexico's Epstein Truth Commission has expanded its investigation well beyond Zorro Ranch by subpoenaing federal prosecutors' offices in South Carolina, southern Florida, Michigan's eastern and western districts, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The commission is looking for records showing whether those offices investigated Jeffrey Epstein, had information about his alleged crimes, and then declined to prosecute him. That matters because it pushes the inquiry past the familiar Florida non-prosecution deal with Alexander Acosta and into a broader question: how many offices, agencies, and officials had pieces of the Epstein puzzle and chose not to act?The South Carolina angle is part of that wider dragnet, not a standalone accusation that prosecutors there committed wrongdoing. According to Reuters, the new round of subpoenas brought the commission's total to roughly 23, targeting law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and other entities as New Mexico tries to identify people in power who may have known about Epstein's abuse and looked away. The New Mexico DOJ is also running an active criminal investigation into Epstein-related activity in the state, including Zorro Ranch, and is asking the public for credible tips. For survivors, including Rachel Benavidez, the subpoenas represent another attempt to pierce the institutional silence that protected Epstein for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New Mexico targets Jeffrey Epstein investigations in SCBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
"Zorro Ranch was probably the most eerie place, just giant and quiet and literally in the middle of nowhere. Miles and miles of just mountains and dirt."On the morning of 8 March 2026, a group of people gathered at a gate on a dirt road in the New Mexico desert, about 30 miles south of Santa Fe, in a place called Stanley. The gate leads to an extravagant property that sits on roughly 7600 acres of high desert scrubland. The nearest town is twenty miles away. If you screamed out here, no one would hear it.The property used to be called Zorro Ranch. It belongs to a Texas family now, who bought it in 2023 and renamed it San Rafael Ranch. Before that family attempted to rehabilitate the ranch into a Christian retreat, however, it belonged to Jeffrey Epstein...This is a continuation of a series we started last year.

Welcome to the Prelude episode of our explosive investigation into the Victoria Peak treasure—the site of one of the most shocking and massive crimes in American history. Based entirely on the exhaustive, decades-long research of investigative author John Clarence (the pen name of Jack Staley), this series uncovers a conspiracy of unchecked greed and military overreach that stretches far beyond the deserts of New Mexico. It is a story where the very government sworn to protect its citizens became modern-day tomb raiders, ultimately implicating U.S. Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon in the theft of billions of dollars in gold bullion.To understand the scale of this monumental heist, we must begin with the original discoverers. In early 1937, Milton "Doc" Noss and his wife Ova unearthed a staggering fortune hidden deep inside Victoria Peak. This forgotten warehouse of history contained crude gold bars piled like cordwood, ancient artifacts, and human skeletons chained to the cavern walls. But as Ova ominously warned, "where gold goes, blood flows". Doc was tragically murdered by his business partner in 1949, and by 1955, the U.S. military forcibly evicted Ova from her legal mining claim, absorbing the land into the highly secure White Sands Missile Range.With the Noss family locked out, the vault guards became the robbers. This prelude outlines the staggering scale of the ensuing government thefts. You'll hear how Major General John G. Shinkle orchestrated covert military extractions in the early 1960s, how Lyndon Johnson allegedly masterminded an international money-laundering operation to steal 257 tons of gold using a remote Mexican ranch and B-24 bombers, and how Richard Nixon sanctioned the theft of another 36.5 tons to manage the unfolding Watergate crisis.Tune in to discover how this breathtaking conspiracy was hidden through falsified reports, political whitewashing, and sheer violence, leaving the Noss family to fight for their rightful claim for generations. And remember, if you want to read the definitive account of this incredible saga, you can secure a rare, signed copy of John Clarence's Gold House trilogy by contacting Jeff Crudele directly at podcastjfk@gmail.com.
Join me in the greatest wander yet on JFK The Enduring Secret. In one of the most unlikely of story tells, we explore an extraordinary event that crosses a path with President Kennedy and more importantly, with Lyndon Johnson too. To understand it's meaning, you must understand it's context. And so, I'm pleased to announce that our explosive new mini-series uncovering the greatest treasure discovery—and the greatest theft—in North American history will begin tonight. Be patient on this wander, and you will discover an equally extraordinary story that will both entertain and challenge your thinking related and especially as it relates to President Lyndon Johnson. This entire series is based on the extensive, decades-long research done by John Clarence (the pen name of Jack Staley), who compiled the definitive and most exhaustively documented account of the Victorio Peak treasure ever assembled. Hidden in plain sight since the 1930s, this saga evolves from a humble family's desert treasure hunt into a dark, true story of unchecked greed, military overreach, and presidential corruption. We bring it to life in podcast form. In early 1937, Milton "Doc" and Ova Noss stumbled upon an unimaginable fortune hidden inside a New Mexico mountain, discovering a cavern filled with stacks of crude gold bars, ancient artifacts, and chilling secrets. But as Ova once warned, "where gold goes, blood flows". The first nine episodes of this series chronicle the Noss family's triumphs and tragedies, culminating in a freezing March night in 1949 when a desperate Doc Noss scrambled to rebury 110 gold bars across the desert. That desperate gamble ultimately resulted in his murder the very next morning at the hands of his double-crossing partner.However, Doc's murder was just the beginning of the conspiracy. After World War II, the U.S. military swallowed the land to build the White Sands Missile Range, forcibly evicting Ova Noss and orchestrating top-secret extractions of the gold under the guise of national security. Uniquely intersecting with our ongoing podcast focus, this saga will eventually reveal how this massive theft reached the highest office in the land, heavily implicating Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, while casting JFK as a surprising ally to the Noss family. Step inside Victoria Peak before we release the first nine episodes TONIGHT, and be sure to listen to find out how you can secure a rare, signed copy of John Clarence's Gold House trilogy by contacting Jeff Crudele directly at podcastjfk@gmail.com.
Following the monumental discovery detailed in our last episode, Episode 3 plunges deep into the treacherous caverns of Victoria Peak. Based entirely on the exhaustive, decades-long research of investigative author John Clarence (the pen name of Jack Staley), this episode chronicles the perilous efforts of Milton "Doc" and Ova Noss to extract their newfound fortune—and the intense paranoia that soon consumed them.Navigating broken ancient ladders and toxic, blistering bat guano, Doc slowly retrieved the first pieces of the horde in the spring of 1938. What he found was staggering: crude gold "cactus" bars piled like cordwood, a gold crown, ancient artifacts, and the chilling remains of chained human skeletons. But with unimaginable wealth came immediate danger. Rumors of the discovery triggered kidnapping threats that forced the family to temporarily flee to Gallup, New Mexico. Doc's extreme caution reached a fever pitch, fueled by the trauma of a prior kidnapping where his captors had savagely burned the bottoms of his feet attempting to extract the location of another gold cache.The situation turned catastrophic in 1939 with two devastating blows. In August, a hired engineer set off an excessive dynamite charge, causing a massive landslide that sealed the main treasure shaft under tons of rock. Desperate for capital to clear the debris, Doc took a massive gamble in the fall of 1939 by taking four or five gold bars to the Denver Mint. Though the bars were officially assayed at $97,000, the Mint confiscated the bullion and issued a "hold certificate," refusing to pay Doc unless he revealed the exact location of the remaining treasure.This brazen confiscation confirmed Doc's deepest fears that the federal government intended to seize his entire fortune. It thrust the Noss family into a perilous legal war against the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 and drew relentless, around-the-clock surveillance from both the Secret Service and the FBI. Tune in to hear how the dream of Victoria Peak quickly devolved into a nightmare of dynamite, deception, and government overreach.

El Nino is no longer a “maybe.” We're staring at a near-certain El Nino pattern, and we walk through what that could mean for New Mexico weather, Albuquerque precipitation, and mountain snowpack as we head toward fall and winter. We compare two very different analog years, including the huge 1997-1998 setup and the more disappointing 2015-2016 pattern, then translate the meteorology into what you actually care about: when the wettest window may hit, how the southern storm track can shift, and why early-winter timing could matter as much as total moisture.Then we turn to a front-page fentanyl story that raises an uncomfortable question about public safety and law enforcement strategy. A whistleblower alleges DEA decisions allowed massive quantities of fentanyl pills to reach Albuquerque streets during wiretap cases, while the agency argues the work targets larger drug trafficking networks and stays within DOJ guidance. We lay out the nuance, the claims, the pushback, and the part that's hardest to sit with: how do you strike a balance when overdose deaths are climbing and every operational choice has a human cost?We also unpack the Iran situation and why it feels like policy whiplash. From the Strait of Hormuz to inspection talk to tougher rhetoric, we sort through competing messages and what “real progress” would have to include for a durable outcome. We wrap with a surprisingly heated story about vandalism at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and a bigger debate about patriotism, political polarization, and whether pride in America should change based on who's president.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who follows weather or current events, and leave a review telling us which topic hit you the hardest.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D
Vendor channel consolidation, specifically through peer and family-owned acquisitions, is driving a fundamental shift in the operational landscape for MSPs. This episode analyzes the case of NetSciences, an MSP based in New Mexico, which was acquired by Qual IT—a family-owned operator with over two decades in the space. The MSP market now includes multiple buyer categories: peer acquisitions, roll-ups, and private equity (PE) players, each with distinct approaches to valuation, integration, and operational continuity. The transition of NetSciences to Qual IT illustrates that smaller MSPs increasingly face decisions about optimal sale pathways. According to Joshua Liberman, roll-up buyers and PE investors often introduce rapid shifts in deal terms and operational models, with PE offers described as subject to abrupt valuation changes (drops up to 67% noted by Liberman), creating a higher risk profile for sellers seeking stability and legacy preservation. By contrast, the peer acquisition model (as executed through platforms such as ASCII's peer-to-peer review process) is allowing some MSPs to complete sales with greater continuity and cultural alignment, though post-sale integration often defaults to the acquirer's systems and standards rather than blending best practices. Secondary developments reinforcing this shift include persistent market focus on monthly recurring revenue (MRR) metrics and the operational tradeoffs of pursuing high MRR percentages. Liberman maintained a 50–60% MRR intentionally, arguing that chasing 80%+ MRR metrics can distort business health and does not universally suit all MSP models. Discussion of cybersecurity underscores the need to reposition technical services as business outcomes—security is described as foundational, permeating every operational and client decision, yet is often misunderstood or negotiated away to the detriment of risk posture. Operationally, these trends imply that MSPs must be highly selective about both client and acquirer fit, balancing growth trajectories against risk aggregation and cultural alignment. Attempts to homogenize client environments and enforce consistent security baselines are necessary but limit scale and acquisition appeal. Failure to assess how integration will shift toolsets, processes, and staff autonomy can result in loss of operational maturity and control post-sale. Additionally, the unchecked adoption of tools such as AI—without oversight or documented process—exemplifies emerging areas of governance risk that technology leaders cannot overlook.

During World War I, despite American neutrality, military mobilization was already underway. North Dakotans answered the call when President Wilson mobilized the National Guard for duty along the Mexican border in response to turmoil from the Mexican Revolution and Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico, in March 1916. The Guardsmen garrisoned the border, freeing Regular Army troops to pursue Villa and his allies.

What happens when a place your people have prayed at for a thousand years becomes a uranium mining site? And what can one voice actually do to stop it? Sumaya Quitugua, a young woman from the Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico and Chamorro from Guam, grew up at the Sky City, in traditional adobe homes on top of a mesa, where her grandfather taught her that we don't own the land or the water. We protect them. In this episode, Sumaya breaks down the fight for Chaco Canyon, a place protected by President Theodore Roosevelt over a century ago and named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, now targeted for uranium mining right up against its borders. She explains what's really at stake, what mining does to land and water that can never be undone, and how a seven-day public comment window turned into a hundred and fifty days because people refused to stay silent. This is for anyone who's ever wondered whether speaking up actually changes anything, and anyone who wants to understand sacred land from the people who carry it.

Because the canvas roof had been waterproofed with gasoline, the small flame that touched it on July 6, 1944 swept across the Hartford circus big top in seconds, and most of the 167 people it killed were children.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HartfordCircusFireREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/39d8nfwhFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Three boys fishing in the middle of the night hear a blood-curdling scream. But it wasn't a human making all that noise – it was an extraterrestrial. And thus began a series of meetings with alien beings! (What Do You Say When Meeting An Extraterrestrial?) *** A day of hilarity turns into a day of horror as an uncontrollable fire breaks out at the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus – resulting in the most deadly circus disaster in history. (The Day The Clowns Cried) *** Most ghosts and specters do a great job of scaring the pants off you – and some can get creative with how they do it, with stacking chairs, making toys talk, slamming doors, etc. But apparently not all spooks are worried about their reputation – and when it comes to haunting, they just phone it in, doing the bare minimum.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021Weird Darkness ranges from a shapeless apparition that appeared inside the Tower of London in 1817, to a string of close-range UFO and humanoid encounters reported across North America, to the Hartford circus fire of 1944 that killed 167 people in under ten minutes.It opens inside the Tower of London in October 1817, where a cylinder of dense, white and pale-azure fluid about the thickness of a man's arm materialized over the supper table of Edmund Lenthal Swifte, the Keeper of the Crown Jewels. Swifte was holding a glass of wine and water to his wife's lips in the Jewel House, with her sister and his young son present, when the shape hovered for roughly two minutes, drifted around the room, and settled over his wife's right shoulder, at which she cried out that it had seized her. He struck at the wood paneling behind her with his chair, but the figure left no mark, and a scientific friend who afterward examined the sealed, curtained, candle-lit room could account for none of it. The thing wore no period costume and delivered no message, and forty-three years later Swifte set the encounter down in the journal Notes and Queries, insisting at eighty-three that he had neither amplified nor abridged a word of it.From there it moves to a wave of close-range encounters, beginning on a cold January night in 1972 when sixteen-year-old John Yeries and three companions, fishing near Battle Creek Bridge east of Anderson, California, saw a seven-foot, greenish-brown humanoid with a large teardrop-shaped ear on one side of its head and heard it loose a scream that sent them sprinting for their car. Darrell Rich's father Dean returned to the bridge with a pistol, only to back away when a deep growl rose from the brush, and a police search of the area turned up nothing. The following year, on October 4, 1973, insurance agent Gary Chase pulled over at the Santa Susana Pass near Simi Valley, California and watched an elliptical craft roughly seventy feet long, marked with a nested V insignia, hover above a creek while a figure in a wetsuit-like suit crawled across its hull toward a protruding hose. Other witnesses report the same intrusions: patrolman Lonnie Zamora saw two small, white-clad figures beside a landed craft in New Mexico in 1964, and Mrs. Wallace Bowers found fifteen-inch footprints in the snow and watched an orange disk hover over the power lines outside her home in Vader, Washington. Bernice Niblett spent the winter of 1967 alone on Keats Island in British Columbia, where she watched lights maneuver over the water night after night and became convinced that the two stiff, oddly formal Hydro men who appeared at her cabin were not the utility workers they claimed to be — a year-long ordeal documented by Canadian UFO researcher John Magor that eventually drove her off the island.The episode closes with the Hartford circus fire of July 6, 1944, when the canvas big top of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus, waterproofed with a mixture of white gasoline and paraffin wax, caught at the edge and was consumed in under ten minutes, killing 167 of the roughly 7,000 people inside, most of them children. As the flames climbed the roof, the bandleader struck up 'Stars and Stripes Forever,' the circus's coded signal for an emergency, while the Great Wallendas scrambled down from their high wire unhurt. Ringmaster Fred Bradna called for a calm exit, but the crowd ignored him as burning canvas and hot wax fell from above. Two of the exits were blocked by the steel chutes used to move animals in and out, so many of the dead were trampled there rather than burned, and a photograph of the clown Emmett Kelly carrying a single bucket of water toward the blaze fixed the catastrophe in memory as the day the clowns cried. Investigators never settled the cause, though the state fire marshal leaned toward a carelessly dropped cigarette. A fifteen-year-old circus hand named Robert Dale Segee confessed to setting the fire years later and then recanted. And one young victim, her face barely touched by the flames, was never claimed — buried under the name Little Miss 1565 and identified only decades afterward, and only disputably, as Eleanor Cook.
May 9, 2013. Bowling Green, Ohio. The body of 66-year old Dawn Glanz, a retired art professor from Bowling Green State University, is discovered inside her bathroom by her husband, Bob Brown, and the authorities initially believe that she suffered a fatal stroke and died of natural causes. However, before Dawn's body can be cremated, police receive an anonymous tip expressing concern that Bob may have killed Dawn in order to inherit her $2 million estate and a new autopsy reveals that she received a stab wound to the head and the shock caused her to succumb to a heart attack. After Dawn's death is reclassified as a homicide, investigators uncover some troubling holes in Bob's original story, but there is not enough evidence to file charges and her murder officially remains unsolved. November 22, 2009. Bowling Green, Kentucky. 54-year old Bettina Richmond, a mathematics professor at Western Kentucky University, leaves her home to play racquetball at the Bowling Green Parks and Recreation facility. When she fails to return home, Bettina's husband goes to check the facility's parking lot and discovers that Bettina has been fatally stabbed in the driver's seat of her van. Bettina's university identification badge is later found in a mailbox over two miles away and it is suspected that she was the victim of a robbery gone wrong, but no potential suspects are found for her murder. On this week's episode of the “Trail Went Cold”, we explore a pair of unsolved murders involving female university professors from Bowling Green in both Ohio and Kentucky. Special thanks to listener Rachel Adams for narrating the opening of this episode.
