Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again for another ground-breaking episode: Satanic and masonic ritual abuse and mind control survivor and whistleblower, YouTuber and content creator on her own YouTube channel and Substack at the handle ⁨@MayanMissions⁩ ,first generational New Zealander, credentialed counselor with a specialization in Narrative Therapy, communication skill small group training course facilitator, traditional herbal medicine advocate, retreat co-facilitator, and healing warrior, our beloved podcast regular, and my dear friend: sweetest Poppy JoyBorn into a multi-generational, incest-based family entangled in satanic and Masonic ritual abuse, Poppy endured unimaginable horrors designed to shatter her soul. Yet, from the crucible of extreme trauma, she has forged a path of liberation, healing, and fearless truth-telling that captivates and inspires listeners from all over the world. Her story is not just a testament to survival - it's a blazing call to rise, reclaim, and rewrite the narrative of a life once bound by darkness.Poppy's awakening began in 2017, when the floodgates of suppressed memories burst open, triggered by visceral encounters including a feral dog's menacing presence, a jellyfish sting that unleashed a histamine storm across her body, and a rash that mirrored the chaos within. These were no mere accidents; they were catalysts, unlocking a lifetime of buried truths. From her earliest years, Poppy's senses were different - her eyesight and hearing, impacted by trauma, gave way to an extraordinary gift: an energetic perception. She could see the dance of energy, hear whispers of telepathy, and, with laser-like focus, discern the mechanics of black magic rituals. What her abusers intended would break her became her superpower - a window into the unseen forces that shape our world.Through her recovered memories, Poppy uncovered chilling revelations: rituals performed to empower government legislation, synchronized with astrological alignments and ancient calendars like the Mayan system, which she later studied to reclaim her spiritual sovereignty. These ceremonial rituals, steeped in occult precision, tethered human consciousness to cosmic cycles, manipulating power on a global scale. Yet, Poppy's discoveries didn't end in despair - they fueled her rebirth. Armed with a degree in Counseling and expertise in Narrative Therapy, she had already spent years empowering others, facilitating small groups with courses like “Changes that Heal,” studying traditional herbal medicine during her battle with cancer and Morgellons, and co-leading retreats. But when her memories surged, demanding her full attention, Poppy turned her healing inward, pausing her work to mend the fragments of her own story.Today she is back to dive deeper into her life story - how programming has been held in her body and affected her life, growing up in the family she was born into, being a hyper empath, the loss of identity and lostness many survivors feel when recovering and contending with memories, time and space manipulation, consciousness, remote viewing, the power of unconditional love, and so much more.

Hamish Kerr and Geordie Beamish gave sports fans a reason to grin from ear-to-ear this week – two great New Zealanders making their mark on the global stage. In the 3000m steeplechase Geordie shook up the athletics world by mowing down double Olympic winner Soufiane El Bakkali, who was chasing his third consecutive global title. Hamish ladled cherries on his high jump cake, adding the World title to his Olympic title, the Diamond League title, Commonwealth title, and the World Indoor title. With the likes of Walsh, Tanner, Hobbs, Wesche, McTaggart, etc, up with the best in athletics world, a golden age may well be blossoming. John Stewart, former CEO of Athletics NZ told me over 20 years ago that the biggest issue the sport had wasn't lack of talent, it was lack of athletes. He said that they taught the kids how to run, jump and throw, but as they matured, they left for other sports that benefitted enormously from the base that athletics had given them. Olympic and World Championship success is the harbinger of continued participation in track and field. The thought of Kiwi athletes dominating the world stage was a pipe dream, aside the middle-distance glory days and the outrageous success of Val Adams, victory was a rare occurrence. These unicorns hardly stimulated the youth. Now though, the narrative isn't how competing as a junior will set the youth up for careers in other sports, it's about setting up the next generation for triumph at Olympic and World Championship level. Athletes like Kerr and Beamish have proven that we can compete with, and beat, the very best in truly global pursuits. Running, jumping and throwing doesn't cost a heap, and there's not a concussion in sight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was this the final nail in the Adrian Orr coffin? Can we add Christian Hawkesby and the entire monetary policy committee? After all, it's easy to blame a governor, but it's a committee that votes on what to do with the cash rate. After the famed Q2 finished (remember April, May and June), we come to the next committee decision in July. Orr is gone, Hawkesby is up, and they have just witnessed the previous three months. And what do they do? Nothing. No change. They held. Why? Because they felt things were in hand. They also said the economy would contract 0.3%. Yesterday came the proof that it's hard, when you are actually paid as a so-called expert, to get it more wrong than they did. We all felt it and knew it. Most of us wouldn't have been able to put a number round it like the banks have to, but most of us don't have the data they have access to. But what we all knew was it was bad, it was tight, it was ugly, and it wasn't going in the right direction. But the gap between -0.3% and -0.9% is inexcusable. The same way it is inexcusable to stand there in July and tell us more stimulus wasn't needed. At some point someone has to be held to account. Yes, Orr is gone, but only because he packed a sad. Yes, Quigley is gone, but only because he got found out. No one has actually been held to account for a spectacular failure to do the job. Why are the Monetary Policy Committee members still in work? How many of them are there because of their so-called "expertise" versus being appointed for the so-called “right” reasons? Results count. Facts matter. And here is the issue for the Government: as the poll showed us this week, a lot of New Zealanders blame the Government for the economy. They have been let down in no small part by the Reserve Bank and when the Prime Minister the other week on this show fired off a bit of advice, all the pointy heads wrote op-eds whining about independence. Independence is fine. But not if you're useless. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's economy is back in contraction. Latest data just out from Stats NZ shows GDP fell 0.9% in the three months to June. That follows six months of growth, after six months of contraction. Nick Mills gauged reaction to the announcement with Labour's Ayesha Verrall and National's Mike Butterick in Politics Thursday. They also discussed the current teacher and nurse strikes, the rise in New Zealanders being sent to prison and Labour's relationship with Te Pāti Māori.

Police have released a new strategy document telling New Zealanders how to stay safe at places like festivals, big venues and shopping centres in the event of some sort of attack. Assistant Police Commissioner Mike Johnson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Today, I want to talk with you of the most important moral issues we never talk about. And that's factory farming.今天，我想和大家谈一谈一个我们几乎从不讨论、却极其重要的道德问题——那就是工厂化养殖。But first, I want to share with you the story of how I came to be here. I grew up in New Zealand, and yes, we had a sheep farm. It was small, 100 acres of rolling hills, and the sheep would graze the hillsides by day and then retreat to the hilltops to circle up and fall asleep at night. That's me, ready to farm right after my picnic.但在此之前，我想先和你们分享一下我为什么会站在这里。我是在新西兰长大的，我们家确实有一个羊场。它很小，只有100英亩的起伏丘陵。白天，羊群在山坡上吃草；晚上，它们会退到山顶，围成一圈进入梦乡。那就是我，野餐之后准备去放羊的样子。The sheep ultimately went to slaughter, but I always felt like at least they'd lived good lives and had quick deaths. Frankly, if I'm ever reincarnated as a sheep, which, as a New Zealander, is not unlikely这些羊最终都会被宰杀，但我一直觉得，至少它们过着不错的生活，死得也算迅速。坦白说，如果我有来世变成了一只羊——作为一个新西兰人，这其实并非不可能——I'd like to live their life. When I was a teenager, we traveled to Vietnam. And in the backstreets of Hanoi, I stumbled into a live-animal market. I still remember seeing the sight: stacks upon stacks of cages crammed full of animals, of every species, trembling in fear, staring out at me in distress. I was shaken. But when I returned to New Zealand, I figured things were different. I mean, you can see the cows and the sheep in the fields.我宁愿过它们那样的生活。少年时，我曾随家人去越南旅行。在河内的街巷里，我无意间闯进了一个活体动物市场。我至今仍记得那一幕：一层又一层的笼子里挤满了各种动物，它们因恐惧而发抖，眼神里充满了痛苦与绝望地望着我。我震撼不已。但当我回到新西兰后，我心想情况应该不一样吧，毕竟在田野里你随处都能看到牛和羊自在地活动。Still, I started to wonder how we treated the animals that you couldn't see. How in particular did we treat the pigs and the chickens? So I did what you did back then. I picked up a phone book and I looked up some pig and chicken farms. And one by one, I called and I naively asked if I could just come visit. And one by one, they told me no. They don't let anyone just visit.然而，我还是开始好奇那些我们看不见的动物究竟是如何被对待的。尤其是猪和鸡，它们的处境如何？于是我做了当时人们常做的事——我翻开电话簿，找到了一些猪场和鸡场。然后一个接一个地打电话，天真地询问是否可以去参观。结果，一个接一个的回答都是“不可以”。他们根本不允许任何人随便参观。Finally, I got hold of a major slaughterhouse and connected with a farm boy, let's call him Liam. Now, this slaughterhouse didn't do visitors either, but Liam and I bonded over sheep, and he agreed to get me in.最后，我联系到了一家大型屠宰场，并结识了一个农场小伙子，我们就叫他利亚姆吧。虽然这家屠宰场同样不接待访客，但因为我和利亚姆聊到了养羊，他与我建立了信任，最终答应带我进去。

With just one breath, New Zealand freediver Ant Williams set a new world record, swimming 182 meters underwater and under ice. That's the length of nearly two full rugby fields. He takes us all along for the ride with a documentary called Ice Dive, part of the Adventure series on Apple Vision Pro. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival. Williams says he wants to show us all just how far we can go by pushing fear and doubt and comfort aside in our lives.

New Zealanders will no longer be able to look to adopt children from overseas and bring them home from this week. The Government's Adoption Amendment Bill's been introduced under urgency, and will suspend recognition of unsafe international adoptions to prevent harm. It also restricts the Family Court from granting adoptions where the adoptive parent or child are overseas. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper unpacks the bill - and reveals why the changes are the way to go. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another warning from Labour for its potential coalition partner Te Pāti Māori. MP Takuta Ferris has twice attacked ethnic Labour party volunteers who sign-waved in the Tamaki Makaurau by-election, claiming they were taking a Māori seat away from Māori. Party president John Tamihere echoed Ferris' comments yesterday, despite the party previously apologising. Chris Hipkins told John MacDonald the party needs to respond – the ball's in their court, and how they respond matters. He's also criticising Rawiri Waititi for only answering journalists' questions in te reo Māori yesterday. It was the first time the party has fronted since Ferris doubled down on his comments, and Waititi refused to answer media questions in English, but later spoke English in the House. The Labour Leader told MacDonald any minister in a government he leads would be expected to answer questions so all New Zealanders could understand. He says if Waititi wants to communicate with Kiwis —including Māori who don't speak te reo— using both languages would be a better way of doing that.

Geordie Beamish has become the first New Zealander to win a World Athletics title on the track after a stunning victory in the 3000m steeplechase in Tokyo this morning.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 13th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to 1 Corinthians 9:27:”But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” I want to say to you, my dear friend, today, and this applies to me equally, as believers and followers of Jesus Christ, we have to live disciplined lives. Undeserved loving kindness, unmerited favour, that's what grace is. We have been saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves, for it was a gift from God. (Ephesians 2:8) but the Lord requires us to be good examples. Do not drop the ball, so to speak, by being a poor example to other believers and leading them astray.The other night, I was watching an interview on television for an upcoming international rugby match, a really important one between the All Blacks of New Zealand and the Springboks of South Africa. It was a very serious and intense discussion by rugby experts, and it was a panel of New Zealanders. The one interviewer asked one of the great All Black players, ”What is it that you think the team needs to concentrate on, when the Springboks come across to New Zealand because it's going to be a very critical match?” I was quite interested to hear what this man said. He said one word, ”Discipline.” He said,“We've got the players, the talent, but if we do not discipline ourselves we can lose the match.” Because when you get a yellow card, the player has to go off the field for ten minutes, and if you get two players off the field, you are now down from fifteen to thirteen players and the opposition has a distinct advantage and you can lose the match just by the lack of discipline.I want to say to you today as believers, we need to watch how we are living because we can give the opposition, I'm talking about the devil, a chance to get the upper hand in our lives. We need to get up in the morning. We need to eat correctly. We need to exercise. We need to spend time in the Word. We need to pray. This is Paul speaking when he says, ”I discipline my body and bring it into subjection.” It means it must come into submission, so that you become a good example of what a Christian should be like.Today, let's go out and discipline ourselves, and we will enjoy life a lot more as well.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

The cost of living crisis is hitting New Zealanders hard, with many putting retirement savings on the backburner. The number of people contributing to KiwiSaver fell for the first time in the year to March 2025, according to the Financial Markets Authority's annual KiwiSaver report. FMA chief executive Samantha Barrass says these difficult circumstances have forced people to make 'difficult choices' about what to prioritise. She explained more households need to decide between putting food on the table, paying the mortgage and repairs - and it's important for providers to reach out to people who've paused KiwiSaver contributions.

It's time to talk money matters with Mary Holm and today we're going to focus on an issue many New Zealanders are grappling with; are you a financial failure if you don't own a home? A recent survey of New Zealanders (by One Choice) shows half who don't currently own a home are not even somewhat confident home ownership will be achievable for them. But does that matter?Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Unannounced Live Gospel Tangents recently surprised viewers with an unannounced live stream including a JFS book giveaway. This is a "late night edition" that offers a whirlwind update on my extensive travels, upcoming interviews, and even some "breaking news" from the Temple Lot Church. Despite a busy travel schedule and a significant backlog of videos to edit, I managed to connect, give away a JFS book, and share exciting previews of what's to come! https://youtu.be/Jw_a2PA5jAU Recent Travels and Adventures I've been to several significant sites related to the Latter Day Saint movement: Community of Christ Conference in Independence, Missouri: This "super fun trip" included reactions to Stassi Cramm being ordained the new prophet in the Community of Christ. While there, I also visited the Temple Lot Church, meeting a "Kiwi" (New Zealander) who hinted at a possible interview. I also updated my tour with video, experimenting with cell phone cameras, promising many unpublished videos from Independence. Mormon History Association: Following Independence, he attended the Mormon History Association, where I toured several LDS churches, including a "really old" one in Ogden and Joseph Soderberg's church, known for President Hinckley's testimony story. Strangites in Wisconsin: Instead of Houston, I visited the Strangites in Wisconsin, staying with former guest Bill Shepard. He also hung out with David Boice and Gary Weber, who gave me a tour of the Hill of Promise, which the Strangites consider akin to the Hill Cumorah. ◦ The Voree Plates and the Hill of Promise: Gary Weber explained that the Hill of Promise is where James Strang found the Voree record. An angel reportedly told Strang where the record was buried beneath a tree, and respected townsmen witnessed its excavation. The record, encased in stone, crumbled upon exposure to air but was translated by Strang, telling the story of the "people of Raja Ramor". It described a great war, similar to the Hill Cumorah narrative, and a pictorial representation of priesthood structure mirroring that under Joseph Smith and James Strang. ◦ Prophetic Significance: The Hill of Promise is also sacred because Strang's revelations state that Daniel from the Bible will appear there someday to teach the saints and announce Christ's soon approaching second coming. ◦ Beaver Island Plans: David Boice & I visited Burlington (originally called Voree by Strang), where we saw several Strangite sites, including a plaque for a never-built temple. I'm planning a trip to Beaver Island, which was James Strang's later settlement where he was crowned king and assassinated. Gary Weber noted that there's "not a lot to see" on Beaver Island, mostly dirt roads, but a ferry or plane can take visitors there. Calgary/Cardston, Alberta, Canada: I flew to Calgary for my son's wedding and visited Cardston, Alberta, home to the first international temple for the LDS church. I received a book on Raymond, Alberta, a town settled by Raymond Knight (son of Newell Knight) and noted for being "practically Utah up in Canada" due to its 80% Mormon population. Cardston is compared to Manti due to its remote location and pioneer feel, with concerns about preserving its murals during an upcoming refurbishment when a new temple in Lethbridge opens. Beyond church history, I also enjoyed a Brewers-Cardinals baseball game with my friend Walter Reade. Upcoming Interviews and Content Viewers have much to look forward to from Gospel Tangents: John Turner Interview and Book Giveaway: John Turner's book, "Joseph Smith The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet," was released on Amazon. I've already conducted an interview with Turner, and part one was released. An autographed copy of this book was given away in a contest. Strangite Interviews: Interviews with Gary Weber and potentially other Strangite figures, including a man named Trevor, are in the pipeline.

After six weeks north of the Equator, it's good to be back. "Two years ago, New Zealanders voted for change. Not just a change of government but a change of direction. They were promised fiscal discipline, economic renewal and a productive economy. The New Zealand government has shown it can reform when it wants to. Now it must also reform what matters most: the unsustainable growth in public spending.” This quote came from The Australian (August 28), and it was written by Dr Oliver Hartwich, Executive Director of the NZ Initiative. In Podcast 300, he provides us with a very good analysis of the challenge facing the NZ economy. We spend the second half of this interview discussing one of the most extraordinary human beings of all time, Leonardo Da Vinci. The reason is explained fulsomely and you'll understand my enthusiasm as it unfolds. I can only suggest that what you'll hear provides a greater perspective of the present. And finally, we are back with Mrs Producer and The Mailroom. File your comments and complaints at Leighton@newstalkzb.co.nz Haven't listened to a podcast before? Check out our simple how-to guide.
