Be prepared as we the nation bring the INVASION.

They cut off his nose, exiled him to the edge of the empire, and left him for dead. But Justinian II didn't stay gone. This is the story of a Byzantine emperor who clawed his way back to the throne with a mutilated face and a murderous grudge. A tale of gold noses, broken alliances, double-crosses, and the bloodiest comeback in imperial history—when Justinian returned, it wasn't just to rule. It was to get even.

Haley McNamara and Dani Pinter sit down with Melinda Tankard Reist, Co-Founder and Movement Director of Collective Shout, for a discussion around the recent successful campaign to remove a sexually violent game called “No Mercy” from Steam. Melinda describes how the game allows players to sexually assault your family members and rewards you for doing so. In less than a week, this campaign garnered over 70,000 signatures and over 3,000 emails sent to the CEO of Valve to remove this game. Despite the backlash and threats, Melinda and the team at Collective Shout continue their work to protect women and children from objectification and sexualization. Melinda is an author, speaker, media commentator and campaigner. She is best known for her work addressing sexualization, objectification, harms of pornography, sexual exploitation, trafficking and violence against women. Melinda is author/editor of seven books (no. 8 on boundary-setting for girls forthcoming 2025). She co-founded Collective Shout for a world free of sexploitation 15 years ago, and is Movement Director. Melinda is an Ambassador for World Vision Australia, Compassion Australia, Hagar NZ and the youth mentoring body the Raise Foundation. She is also Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Culture and Ethics, Notre Dame University, Sydney and named in the Who's Who of Australian Women and the World Who's Who of Women.

„No Mercy“ zeigt schwerpunktmäßig Inzest und sexualisierte Gewaltakte. Das zu kritisieren, ist legitim, aber stattdessen folgten neben den Verbotsforderungen Drohungen, Doxxing, und manche Aussagen, die rhetorisch die Grenze zum Faschismus überschreiten. Gloria und Nina ordnen in dieser fast zweistündigen Folge die Ereignisse kritisch ein und machen etwas, was scheinbar sonst niemand getan hat: Sie reden über einen Titel, den sie tatsächlich auch gespielt haben.

New developments in the case against Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the University of Idaho student murders, suggest that he may have purchased a K-Bar-style knife—the same type of weapon believed to have been used in the killings—on Amazon prior to the attack. According to investigative sources, law enforcement uncovered Amazon purchase records tied to Kohberger's account, which allegedly show he bought a combat knife matching the profile of the murder weapon. The K-Bar is a military-style fixed blade known for its lethality, and forensic analysts have long suspected such a weapon was used in the brutal stabbings.This new piece of evidence is considered damning by prosecutors because it may directly link Kohberger to the murder weapon, something previously lacking in the case. While no physical knife has yet been recovered, digital forensics revealing a purchase trail could help establish premeditation and intent, two key elements for a first-degree murder conviction. Kohberger's defense team is expected to challenge the authenticity, ownership, and timing of the purchase, but if verified, this could significantly strengthen the prosecution's narrative that he meticulously planned the killings.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger's damning Amazon history revealed ahead of Idaho trial - as he points to multiple killers | Daily Mail Online

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman isn't buying the Menendez brothers' version of events. He's made it clear: they're not getting out of prison on his watch. Standing before the press, Hochman didn't mince words. The self-defense claim? A lie. The supposed rehabilitation? Not enough. His office is officially opposing resentencing for Lyle and Erik Menendez, who are serving life without parole for the 1989 murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. Hochman's argument is simple: the brothers have spent the last 30 years weaving a story that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. They say they were terrified of their father, that years of sexual abuse led them to kill out of fear. But Hochman, after poring over trial transcripts, prison records, and testimony, says that's just not true. He points to the undeniable premeditation—how they drove to San Diego days before the murders to buy shotguns with a fake ID, how they planned an alibi by buying movie tickets, and how, after unloading their weapons into their parents, they shot them again in the kneecaps to stage a gang hit. They even picked up the shotgun shells and dumped their bloody clothes and weapons. None of that screams "panic." It screams "plan." When the police started digging, the brothers initially played innocent, pushing a theory that their parents were killed by the Mafia. That held up until Erik confessed to his therapist—an admission that eventually made its way into the hands of investigators. Only then did their story change. Suddenly, it was self-defense. And as Hochman laid out, they were willing to go to great lengths to sell it. At one point, Lyle allegedly tried to convince his girlfriend to lie under oath, saying Jose had drugged and raped her. The trial testimony evolved yet again, with claims that both brothers had suffered sexual abuse at the hands of their father, with their mother complicit. But Hochman says there's a problem with that story too: it wasn't mentioned in Erik's original confession. In those tapes, Erik reportedly said their father was a controlling force, that their mother couldn't live without him, and that both had to die. Self-defense never came up. Then there's the forensic evidence. The brothers claimed it was dark when they burst into the den, that their parents were standing or lunging at them. But crime scene experts determined that at all times, Jose and Kitty were seated or already wounded on the ground. Hochman says that's just one of 20 lies the brothers have told over the years. Four have been admitted to. Sixteen remain. And unless they acknowledge those, he says they don't deserve a second chance. Naturally, the Menendez family members who support the brothers are outraged. In a statement, they accused Hochman of "ignoring the reality" that Erik and Lyle were "repeatedly abused, feared for their lives, and have atoned for their actions." They argue that Hochman is sending a dangerous message—that male victims of childhood sexual abuse won't be believed. But Hochman is standing firm, and he's not alone. He invoked California Governor Gavin Newsom's 2022 decision to deny parole to Sirhan Sirhan, Robert F. Kennedy's assassin. Despite Sirhan's decades of rehabilitation, Newsom blocked his release because he failed to fully accept responsibility. Hochman says the same logic applies here. No full admission, no second chances. This stance is a complete reversal of former DA George Gascón's position. Before losing re-election to Hochman in December 2024, Gascón supported resentencing, arguing that because the brothers were under 26 at the time of the murders, they should be eligible for parole immediately. Hochman wasted no time undoing that. Still, the brothers aren't out of options. They have a pending habeas corpus petition citing two new pieces of evidence: a letter Erik wrote to a cousin months before the murders describing his father's alleged abuse and allegations from a former boy band member who claims Jose Menendez raped him. Hochman, unsurprisingly, has asked the court to throw it out, calling it unreliable and inadmissible. Their last hope? Clemency. The brothers have petitioned Governor Newsom, and in February, Newsom ordered a 90-day risk assessment to determine whether they pose "an unreasonable risk to the public" if released. It's the final door left open. Whether they walk through it or it slams shut is still up in the air. #MenendezBrothers #TrueCrime #DAHochman #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
