In the compelling third chapter of "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison dives deeper into Dr. Wendy Painting's groundbreaking research on the Oklahoma City Bombing with Part 3A, titled “The One Arm Man In Kingman.” This episode zeroes in on the early investigations by the media and the FBI into the remnants of the Arizona Patriots and their enigmatic leader, Reverend Jack Oliphant, shedding light on their lingering influence in the 1990s extremist landscape. Dr. Painting's research uncovers critical details about how these groups, once thought to be dormant, remained active and potentially connected to the events leading up to the Murrah Building bombing. With meticulous detail, Jose explores the threads that tie these early probes to the broader narrative of far-right networks operating in the shadows.Part 3A also briefly examines the role of PATCON handler Don Jarrett, whose involvement adds another layer of intrigue to the investigation. As a key figure in the FBI's efforts to monitor extremist activities, Jarrett's actions provide crucial context for understanding the scope of operations like PATCON and their impact on tracking groups like the Arizona Patriots. Through Dr. Painting's research, "NWJ 552" delivers a focused look at these early investigative efforts, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the complex web surrounding the OKC bombing. Tune in to "No Way, Jose!" for an incisive exploration of these hidden connections, as Jose Galison continues to unpack one of America's most haunting tragedies with clarity and depth.Please consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicGet No Way, Jose! merch-https://www.toplobsta.com#josegalison #nowayjose #conspiracy #AlreadyDead #AustinPicard #Nixon #WatergateNo Way, Jose!

In the riveting second installment of "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison continues to unravel Dr. Wendy Painting's groundbreaking research into the Oklahoma City Bombing, focusing on Richard Van Hazel's explosive claims about Timothy McVeigh's attendance at a paramilitary training camp in Texas. This episode delves into the eerie corroboration of Van Hazel's assertions by PATCON informant John Matthews, who years later reported similar activities, with his FBI handler Don Jarrett privy to these details. The discussion uncovers a tangled web of connections between the Texas paramilitary training scene, the Aryan Nations, and individuals tied to this extremist group, some of whom played a role in harboring a fugitive Branch Davidian. This fugitive, wittingly or not, intersected with a network of international arms dealers closely linked to Roger Moore, raising unsettling questions about the broader ecosystem surrounding the OKC bombing plot.Part Two also explores the Arizona connections, spotlighting ties between Elohim City, Dennis Mahon, and individuals in the state, further anchoring the narrative in the shadowy world of 1990s far-right networks. Jose Galison navigates these intricate links with Dr. Painting's meticulous research as a guide, peeling back layers of previously overlooked evidence. From paramilitary camps to international arms dealings, "NWJ 546" delivers a compelling continuation of the investigation, challenging conventional narratives about the Murrah Building bombing. Tune in to "No Way, Jose!" for a thought-provoking journey into the hidden corners of one of America's most infamous tragedies, where new revelations continue to reshape our understanding of the events leading up to April 19, 1995.Please consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicGet No Way, Jose! merch-https://www.toplobsta.com#josegalison #nowayjose #conspiracy #AlreadyDead #AustinPicard #Nixon #WatergateNo Way, Jose!

Multi-art creativity takes center stage in this conversation with Christian DeWild, a Folsom, California-based artist who seamlessly juggles music, literature, and visual art while working for an electrical contractor. Christian has just released his first single of 2025, "By Your Side," recorded on his analog Tascam system and he's the author of two published books including "Dead Flowers: Let's Get Married On Halloween" and "Some Days Are Ashes: Poems, Limericks, and Illustrations." In this episode, we explore Christian's unique approach to balancing multiple creative disciplines, his experience with self-publishing books, and the challenges that come with it. We discuss his obsessive relationship with art projects, his philosophical contemplations about creativity within the finite nature of life, and his active role in Folsom's blues scene. Christian shares insights about the importance of face-to-face networking for securing gigs, his transition to releasing only singles rather than full albums, and the varying timelines he experiences when finishing songs. Whether you're a multi-disciplinary artist or looking to expand your creative practice beyond music, this conversation offers perspectives on maintaining authenticity while pursuing diverse artistic passions.

Check out my Free Worldbuilding and Brainstorming Workshop: https://mightyartisan.com/worldbuilding This will help you refine your ideas for personal projects and build the skills needed to be a successful designer and author!This is The Forty Seventh Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.Ever feel like you're doing creativity "wrong" because your process doesn't match what the experts recommend? Lets talk about developing your own Worldbuilding Process...Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality!---In this episode, I dive deep into finding your unique creative process for world-building and storytelling. As someone who's been a professional artist for over 20 years, I've learned that while there's plenty of advice out there on "the right way" to create, what truly matters is discovering YOUR way. I explore how different creators approach their work - from visual directors like James Cameron who start with powerful images (like the T-800 emerging from flames in a fever dream), to writers who begin with character perspectives, to interactive designers who focus on player experiences.What I've discovered through my own journey is that creative processes are inherently messy and often illogical. When creating my fantasy comic, I struggled following traditional writing advice until I realized my process worked better starting with character visuals first, then developing stories around them. I also found that writing from each character's first-person perspective helped me understand their motivations and create authentic conflict. The key insight is that constraints and limitations often fuel creativity rather than hinder it - so don't be afraid to experiment with your own "weird" methods. Your unique creative approach isn't something you'll find in books; it's something you'll discover through practice, experimentation, and embracing your natural tendencies.—00:00 Intro01:12 Welcome02:28 The Importance of YOUR Creative Process03:31 How Are Great Things Made?10:35 Creative Process Needs a Focus14:31 Anchoring Your Ideas19:06 The Journey of Discovering Your Process27:33 Analytical Takeaway29:18 Simple Takeaway29:47 Practical Takeaway31:44 Philosophical Takeaway34:41 Out—The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

Nigerian born but living in America since the age of one, Odili Donald Odita's work explores color on the grand scale and his hard-edge large paintings and mural installations have redefined abstract painting in the context of sociopolitical concerns.

He has exhibited his work prolifically in important museums and galleries around the world including a recent large installation at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He has also been an important critic, writer, and lecturer at major institutions including Yale University and his present position as Professor of Painting at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University in Philadelphia.
If you're serious about growing your painting business to $1 million per year, this episode breaks it down into 3 simple (but powerful) steps.I share what I've seen work over and over again in my own experience and inside the Painter Growth community, including how to:✅ Get off the tools and start leading your business✅ Organize your schedule and systems with tools like Drip Jobs✅ Own your marketing to generate consistent, high-quality leadsToo many painting contractors stay stuck doing all the work themselves, relying on referrals or Facebook groups for leads, and wondering why growth has stalled. Let's change that.I'll even walk you through the math of how two painters can replace your income, and how you can turn 10 hours of marketing into $10,000 in gross profit.
In this podcast episode Dr. Dee talks about how the Western approach to health issues, especially mental health, is to treat the symptoms but it fails to address the root cause what is going on in the body and brain. Most doctors continue to try different SSRIs and SNRIs to help relieve symptoms for their patients, but this does not address the underlying cause of these symptoms, which is brain health. Dr. Dee explores how to improve brain health so that the symptoms go away AND you are healthier in the process.

This early fascination paved the way for a remarkable career that now includes working side by side with royalty- RuPaul. During our conversation, Raven shared the emotional experience of receiving the call to become RuPaul's personal makeup artist and we also learn the elements involved in the signature "Raven Beat". We also discussed the importance of energy matching in the makeup chair, highlighting how Raven and RuPaul create a comfortable and collaborative atmosphere. This synergy allows them to enjoy the process while achieving stunning results, demonstrating the significance of a positive working relationship in the beauty industry. As Raven prepares for the new season of "Touch Ups with Raven," we talked about the importance of continuous learning and experimentation in makeup artistry.

"Something we cannot see protects us from something we do not understand. The thing we cannot see is culture, in its intrapsychic or internal manifestation. The thing we do not understand is the chaos that gave rise to culture. If the structure of culture is disrupted, unwittingly, chaos returns. We will do anything - anything - to defend ourselves against that return." - Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of BeliefArtist, entrepreneur, podcast host, Creative Director for 1Team Media, and founder of VC2ART Vinnie Candelore is here again to continue our discussion on the painting he was commissioned to create to be presented to Dr. Jordan B. Peterson at this year's TAG event in Atlanta, Georgia. The discussion today is focusing on the personal nature that this series has taken on, wondering whether or not you have truly tried as hard as you possibly can, and whether or not you are continuing to progress toward your goal. One of the great things about a series like this is that you never truly know where it is going to go until it gets there. We hope you enjoy this discussion with Vinnie Candelore.

In this gripping first installment of a two-part series on "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison dives into the explosive new findings from Dr. Wendy Painting, renowned researcher of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Episode 540 unpacks the previously unreported claims of Richard Van Hazel, a convicted member of the Committee of The States conspiracy and a key figure in the Arizona Patriots, closely tied to Reverend Jack Oliphant. Van Hazel's allegations, emerging from the shadows of Operation Clean Sweep—a precursor to PATCON and other nationwide probes into the extreme right—paint a startling picture. He claims Timothy McVeigh was deeply embedded with Oliphant and remnants of the 1980s Arizona Patriots, active into the 1990s, and that McVeigh attended paramilitary training camps in Texas and Arizona. Most shockingly, Van Hazel asserts the Murrah Building bombing plot was first conceived at the Texas site in 1992, and he was present when McVeigh discussed renting a moving truck with a white power movement organization.Part One of this deep dive doesn't stop there. Jose explores corroborating statements from Robert Millar, head of Elohim City, and Dennis Mahon, who independently back aspects of Van Hazel's claims, adding weight to this unsettling narrative. The episode also introduces the enigmatic “JR,” an unindicted co-conspirator in the Committee of The States and a close associate of Oliphant, whose cryptic pre-bombing remarks about an undercover FBI informant named Robert Jacks raise chilling questions. With Dr. Painting's meticulous research as the backbone, this episode of "No Way, Jose!" sets the stage for a riveting re-examination of one of America's darkest tragedies, blending fresh revelations with the murky world of 1990s extremist networks.

Where the first discussion of the piece stemmed from a place of wanting to better get to know the creative process, today's discussion is drilling down a little deeper into the piece itself. Vinnie and Jay are taking a more in-depth look at the piece and getting into the inspiration behind it, the process of producing it, and what the painting is meant to represent in the eyes of the artist.

It's Friday, June 6th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims killed 9 Christians On June 1st and 2nd, Fulani Muslim herdsmen killed at least nine Christians in Plateau State, Nigeria, following the slaughter of 27 others days before, reports Morning Star News. The attacks took place in Bokkos County in predominantly Christian communities. Emmanuel Auta, a local resident, said, “Christians [are] being butchered.” Another resident, Lilian Madaki, said, “Among some of the Christian victims that I know is a 14-year-old Christian teenager who was shot and wounded and is currently being treated at a hospital.” And, in a text to Christian Daily International, Yakubu Kefas wrote, “The attackers, who we believe are Fulani terrorists, are carrying out indiscriminate shootings, killings, and large-scale arson, resulting in widespread terror, Christian casualties, and destruction of property.” Please pray for our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ in Plateau State, Nigeria. Proverbs 21:15 says, “When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.” Trump bans new visas for foreign nationals from 12 countries On June 4, President Donald Trump issued a full suspension on new visas for foreign nationals from a dozen countries applying for entry to the United States and a partial suspension on nationals from another seven, reports TheEpochTimes.com. The proclamation is set to go into effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 9. A full suspension will go into effect for nationals from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. A partial suspension will affect nationals from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. This executive action comes after the Secretary of State and assistant to the president on Homeland Security filed a report on April 9 identifying countries with such deficient vetting and screening information that a full or partial suspension of entry for their nationals was warranted. ‘60 Minutes' anchor Scott Pelley ripped for "angry, unhinged" speech criticizing Trump Outraged critics blasted longtime CBS “60 Minutes” anchor Scott Pelley as “angry” and “unhinged” after he delivered a fear-baced tirade against President Donald Trump during a commencement speech in North Carolina, reports the New York Post. The CBS newscaster warned Wake Forest University's graduating class on May 19 that “insidious fear” has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across the nation — leaving America in a state of “peril.” Listen. PELLEY: “In this moment, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes.” Scott Jennings, the conservative commentator on CNN, called Pelley out for such a ridiculous statement. JENNINGS: “On the free speech issue, I don't know what America Scott Pelley is living in. We have more speech now than ever. There is no problem with free speech in America. What we do have a problem with are people who don't speak truthfully, who are interested more in narratives than truth, and who are using what used to be journalism for activism. We do have a problem with that.” Jennings asserted that 60 Minutes on CBS is a platform that is more interested in a leftist narrative than the truth. JENNINGS: “If you've watched 60 Minutes for five minutes over the last several years, you would know it's not fair. This is one of the shows, this is one of the outlets that conservatives would point to most often to say: ‘This is the state of American journalism. It's only here to try to hurt Republicans, hurt conservatives, hurt Donald Trump.'” Painting of Jesus returned to prominent location at naval academy U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced that he is restoring an historic painting of Jesus Christ to its place of prominence at the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, after it had been taken down by Biden-era officials, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Known as “Christ on the water,” the painting depicts Jesus walking on the water in stormy seas toward merchant seamen adrift in a lifeboat, presumably after being torpedoed. DUFFY: “We are moving Jesus out of the basement. To all the great midshipmen at the Merchant Marine Academy, you let me know how important this painting was to all of you. Now, we all know it was taken out of a place of prominence and put it down in the basement. “I worked with the Academy, and because this is such a historic painting, I'm announcing that through that work with the Academy, this painting is going to go from the basement back to its place of prominence. It'll be a moment to celebrate.” It was painted by Lieutenant Hunter Wood in 1944 as a tribute to all merchant seamen who had been torpedoed during World War II. Actor Kevin Sorbo champions U.S. Christian heritage in new movie In the new docudrama called The American Miracle, historian Paul Kengor, one of 14 historians, captures how pivotal the Declaration of Independence and the subsequent American Revolution was for the world. KENGOR: “America in 1776: This is a watershed event in history. If you were to pick something over the last 450 years, four and a half centuries or so, that truly transformed humanity and the full scope of history, it was 1776.” The American Miracle movie will hit 1,000 screens across America on three days only – Monday, June 9th, Tuesday, June 10th, and Wednesday, June 11th. The actor who plays Benjamin Franklin – Barry Stevens -- is spot on in terms of appearance and disposition alike. FRANKLIN: “We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.” Kevin Sorbo, who portrays the younger Thomas Jefferson, is an enthusiastic advocate that Americans know their own history. SORBO: “I think there's not enough history being taught in America anymore. I think people forget about what our Founding Fathers did for this country. Documentaries like this, I think, can help heal a nation, as corny as that sounds. I really do think it's important to learn history.” And Pastor Darnell Harper of New Covenant Temple, who screened The American Miracle before its June 9th national release, was amazed to witness God's divine intervention in America. HARPER: “I went to history class. I did not learn that God was in the middle of everything that was going on with the birth of our nation, the Constitution, and it just showed the handiwork of God and how God was establishing the United States of America.” Acts 17:26 says, “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole Earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.” Go to https://americanmiraclemovie.com/, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, and type in your zipcode to purchase tickets at a movie theater near you to see it on June 9, 10 or 11. Pennsylvania Worldview listener wants to pray for persecuted believers Gayle in Stewartstown, Pennsylvania wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com and said, “I listen to The Worldview every day and continue to give monthly because I feel that the news is truthful and factual and not slanted.
