A Free Iran: Zolal Habibi on Women's Rights, Resistance, and the Fight for Democracy In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with Zolal Habibi, an Iranian human rights activist and member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Zolal shares her family's personal connection to Iran's long struggle for freedom, including the killing of her father by the Iranian regime in 1988 and the broader massacre of political prisoners that same year. From there, she helps listeners understand the history behind Iran's current crisis, the role of women in resisting compulsory control, the ongoing use of executions and fear, and why so many Iranians continue to push for a secular democratic republic. Stephanie and Zolal also discuss the difference between foreign intervention and supporting the Iranian people's right to resist, the impact of internet blackouts, censorship, economic pressure, hostage diplomacy, and the continued organizing of the Iranian diaspora around the world. This is a conversation about grief, courage, women's rights, democracy, resistance, and the hope for a free Iran. This episode includes discussion of political violence, executions, war, authoritarian rule, and human rights abuses. Listener discretion is advised.

No other podcast has this! https://economist.com/TOE This podcast explores the uncanny link between two of the twentieth century's great visionary works. Becca Tarnas, assistant professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, joins to discuss her doctoral research into the parallels between Carl Jung's Red Book and J.R.R. Tolkien's lesser-known visionary writings. The central claim: working independently, both men produced strikingly similar imagery, timing, and figures — Jung's Philemon and Tolkien's Gandalf, the Eye of the Evil One and the Eye of Sauron — while each insisted their material felt discovered rather than invented. From there the conversation moves through active imagination, the reality of archetypes, psyche versus mind, and the line between mystical insight and psychosis — a wide-ranging look at where imagination ends and reality begins.

They compare the event to past mass-migration episodes in Europe and the U.S. The conversation shifts to Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony, Rand Paul's questioning, Biden's blanket pardon, and allegations of profiteering and lack of accountability. They then review controversy around Nolan's film The Odyssey, arguing DEI casting choices may have been used subversively while still praising parts of the movie. They also cover U.S. border-device searches and debate whether expanding conflicts around Iran, attacks on energy infrastructure, and U.S. involvement indicate a slide toward World War III, including nuclear or cyber escalation. 00:00 Ceuta Migrant Surge 02:24 Can Spain Stop It 04:40 History and Parallels 09:06 Was It Organized 12:36 Spillover to US Politics 14:10 Fauci Senate Showdown 18:38 Nolan Odyssey DEI Debate 27:03 TSA Phone Wipe Case 28:40 Iran Conflict World War Risk 36:15 Wrap Up and Listener Questions

Gaius and Germanicus: The discussion focuses on the "shrinking presidency" of Mr. Trump in 2026, drawing parallels to the diminished 19th-century stature of Benjamin Harrison. The hosts argue that geriatric leadership and the "unbelievable" stress of failing wars make 8-year terms unsustainable, suggesting a shift to single six-year terms. Germanicus proposes a radical "rosy scenario": the US should "slough off" dependent possessions like Europe—which he views as a drain—to focus on viable partners like Japan and Korea. This mirrors the Western Roman Empire's collapse, which allowed the Greek-speaking Eastern Empire (Constantinople) to thrive for another millennium. They warn that the US is already in an active civil war that will intensify due to "lazy left" policies like court-packing. They conclude by searching for a "smiling Greek" source of survival amidst American upheaval. (2)1892

Sports business reporter John Ourand — who shares an origin story with Chuck Todd at Sports Business Daily — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a deep dive into the money reshaping professional and college sports. Ourand walks through the sale of the Seattle Seahawks as a signal that the era of family-owned NFL franchises is ending, explaining how team valuations have roughly doubled in just three years thanks to new tax advantages and the simple fact that NFL ownership has become the ultimate status club for the ultra-wealthy. He and Chuck dig into whether these eye-popping valuations constitute a bubble — the NFL alone signed $110 billion in media deals over two years — and whether the sports media "middle class" could be facing a real reckoning even as streamers thrive with smaller game packages. Ourand offers a fascinating look at how leagues are navigating their relationship with the networks and production companies that broadcast them (the NFL is deliberately careful not to hurt the legacy networks it depends on), and defends the enduring value of investigative sports journalism, pointing to Pablo Torre's Clippers reporting as a reminder that nobody, including executives at ESPN, wants to be remembered as the person who killed real journalism at the network. The conversation turns to how sports and politics are increasingly colliding. Ourand contrasts Michael Jordan's studied political neutrality with the modern reality of athletes and leagues getting pulled into culture war fights whether they want to or not, noting the UFC fight at the White House pulled huge ratings and that Trump's involvement in overturning a disputed red card call may have actually boosted viewership. He praises Caitlin Clark for navigating the culture wars more gracefully than almost anyone in sports today, draws a compelling parallel between Clark and Larry Bird, and argues the WNBA under commissioner Kathy Engelbert isn't doing nearly enough to capitalize on the attention Clark has generated — in part because leagues remain skittish about race and sexuality debates they'd rather avoid entirely.

Chuck Todd delivers a masterclass on the single most underappreciated force in presidential politics: the primary calendar, which he argues reveals exactly what kind of nominee a party actually wants long before a single vote is cast. He explains that the Democratic decision to put South Carolina first is by design a test of Black support and viability in the South — and one that's deliberately engineered to hurt progressives, who have consistently gotten thumped in South Carolina primaries. He believes that Democrats have badly underinvested in South Carolina and Mississippi, meaning a little TLC could plausibly turn South Carolina into a genuine swing state. The calendar's practical effect, he argues, is that it sets up well for Wes Moore (if he runs) and is nearly as favorable for Pete Buttigieg, while raising the stakes for Kamala Harris to the point that if she doesn't win South Carolina, she's essentially finished. He is sharp on the flaws of the rest of the early window — Nevada isn't the test Democrats claim because the culinary union shapes everything and Arizona would better measure the Latino vote, Michigan is theoretically ideal but is getting torn apart over Israel in ways that could hurt Democrats in a general, and Virginia (now the last stop before Super Tuesday) reliably serves as a bulwark for moderates because it's a center-left rather than hard-left blue state — and he lays out what the ideal calendar would look like for progressives and for MAGA respectively. He's blunt that Ken Martin's leadership of the DNC has been a major problem, questioning whether Democrats really want him refereeing the nomination fight when the party's money troubles are a reflection on Martin himself. He then turns to Trump backing down on Iran yet again — halting strikes less than 12 hours after issuing fresh threats — calling the entire Iran adventure easily the dumbest thing a president has done this century, especially now that an administration once committed to non-proliferation appears to be helping the Saudis with nuclear technology. He notes Democrats nominated Troy Jackson to replace Graham Platner, making the Maine Senate seat winnable again even as Trump has made the races in both Maine and Michigan harder, and closes with a run of telling contrasts: the White House openly bragging that it added tariffs to help big tech, data centers emerging as the top issue for voters in many states, Trump calling LeBron James a racist from the Oval Office while Obama quietly reached out to offer Caitlin Clark advice and comfort — a perfect encapsulation, He argues, of one leader who wants to divide and another trying to turn the temperature down. Then, sports business reporter John Ourand — who shares an origin story with Chuck Todd at Sports Business Daily — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a deep dive into the money reshaping professional and college sports. Ourand walks through the sale of the Seattle Seahawks as a signal that the era of family-owned NFL franchises is ending, explaining how team valuations have roughly doubled in just three years thanks to new tax advantages and the simple fact that NFL ownership has become the ultimate status club for the ultra-wealthy. He and Chuck dig into whether these eye-popping valuations constitute a bubble — the NFL alone signed $110 billion in media deals over two years — and whether the sports media "middle class" could be facing a real reckoning even as streamers thrive with smaller game packages. Ourand offers a fascinating look at how leagues are navigating their relationship with the networks and production companies that broadcast them (the NFL is deliberately careful not to hurt the legacy networks it depends on), and defends the enduring value of investigative sports journalism, pointing to Pablo Torre's Clippers reporting as a reminder that nobody, including executives at ESPN, wants to be remembered as the person who killed real journalism at the network. The conversation turns to how sports and politics are increasingly colliding. Ourand contrasts Michael Jordan's studied political neutrality with the modern reality of athletes and leagues getting pulled into culture war fights whether they want to or not, noting the UFC fight at the White House pulled huge ratings and that Trump's involvement in overturning a disputed red card call may have actually boosted viewership. He praises Caitlin Clark for navigating the culture wars more gracefully than almost anyone in sports today, draws a compelling parallel between Clark and Larry Bird, and argues the WNBA under commissioner Kathy Engelbert isn't doing nearly enough to capitalize on the attention Clark has generated — in part because leagues remain skittish about race and sexuality debates they'd rather avoid entirely. Ourand closes with a detailed look at the messy economics of college sports, explaining how the biggest programs are effectively subsidizing smaller ones, why a real collective bargaining structure may eventually be inevitable, and why the sport's true power brokers could soon demand a much larger share of the revenue pie for themselves. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the ratification of the 14th amendment at a time when the idea of birthright citizenship is being called into question, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Episode Summary Oto sits down with Tamar Edwards, who was born into the Children of God — a nomadic, high-control religious group her parents joined in the late 1970s — and spent her childhood moving through 24 communes across four countries, largely in Thailand, believing the world would end before she reached adulthood. Tamar walks through what daily life inside the group actually looked like, how the cult's fear-based control system worked, and what happened when it disbanded and she was thrown into mainstream society with no schooling and no relationship to money. She traces her path from clowning and balloon-twisting as a teenager, to yoga and nutrition coaching, to intimacy and sexuality coaching, and finally to her current focus on financial sovereignty — framing embodiment, sexuality, and money as the "three pillars" she's spent her adult life healing. She also shares her own experience with suicidal ideation as a child in the group and reflects on what it means to build genuine autonomy after growing up with none.

She defines what turned the group into a cult — one unquestioned charismatic leader plus total isolation from the outside world — and describes how members were "seduced by love, then ruled by fear." Her family's economic model was "broke with a purpose": no personal money, no personal wallet, communal living, and constant relocation, which she says left her with a deep scarcity mindset she's had to unlearn as an adult. After the group disbanded when she was a young teen, she built a career arc from clowning and balloon-twisting to yoga/nutrition coaching to intimacy and sexuality coaching, and now studies financial sovereignty — framing embodiment, sexuality, and money as three interconnected "pillars" of healing. She's written a book, Postpartum Care for New Moms Over 35, drawn from her own experience having her son at 40.

The Outer Realm welcomes back special Guest Daniela Simina Date: July 23, 2026 EP: 749 DISCUSSION: Forging Deeper Connections &Understanding The Parallels Of Irish & Romanian Fairies. Daniela will be talking about her book Where Fairies Meet. We will discuss the parallelism between the ever evolving Irish and Romanian Fairy traditions, lore, and can we forge connections with those from the OTHER Realms, and perhaps co exist as our Ancestors did. Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ About Daniela: Daniela Simina, granddaughter of a folk medicine woman and fairy seer, grew up in Romania, immersed in the rich local fairy traditions. Those early years have imprinted her beliefs and later work. In addition to researching and publishing, Daniela Simina teaches classes on energetic rebalancing and esoteric subjects related to folk magic and fairies - the heart of both her personal and professional paths. Daniela Simina is the author Where Fairies Meet: Parallels Between Irish and Romanian Fairy Traditions, A Fairy Path: The Memoir of a Young Fairy Seer in Training, and Fairy Herbs for Fairy Magic: A Practical Guide to Fairy HerbalMagic Daniela Simina Bioenergetic Balance, Plant Energy Medicine& Spiritual Herbalism, Reiki, Yoga.

As such, fairy traditions allow people to position themselves on the time-space continuum, not only through perpetuation of values but also through connecting deeper with the subtler realms that surround and interpenetrate consensus reality. Connecting to subtler realms gives access to a body of knowledge built upon the record of interaction between our world and the Other. In Ireland and Romania, fairy traditions are alive and evolving. The study of the parallelism that exists between bodies of lore, past and present, from areas diametrically opposed on the map of Europe, gives scholars, lay people, and spiritual seekers access to an everlasting repository of wisdom.

Bible Study | Gospel Parallels 193 | July 22, 2026 | Victory Church

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA signature can look like safety, right up until the day it becomes worthless ink. We take you back to 1933 Germany to watch a deal get made with Adolf Hitler and then dismantled piece by piece, revealing why legal guarantees cannot protect anyone when an authoritarian regime treats law as theater.We set the context most people miss: German Catholics had lived through decades of hostility stretching back to Bismarck's Kulturkampf, and the chaos of Weimar Germany made the desire for a binding national promise feel urgent. When Hitler needs the Center Party's votes to lock in power, he offers a trade that sounds “practical” on paper: the Reichskonkordat will protect Catholic schools, parishes, and legal standing, and in return the Church steps out of politics. Then the reality hits. Youth groups disappear, priests are surveilled, and the regime's attacks on human dignity keep escalating.From there, we draw a clear modern parallel to the Vatican's agreement with the Chinese Communist government over bishop appointments, renewed through 2028, and Cardinal Joseph Zen's public warnings about the underground Church being left behind. The question underneath both stories is the same: what actually protects the vulnerable when the people in power do not believe truth is real?We end with the turning point in 1937, when Pope Pius XI releases Mit Brennender Sorge, smuggled into Germany and read from pulpits under the Gestapo's nose, calling Catholics to spiritual resistance and naming the poison even when politics refuses to. If you care about religious freedom, church-state relations, and the limits of diplomacy under authoritarianism, this one will stay with you. Key Points from the Episode:• German Catholics shaped by decades of harassment under Kulturkampf  • Weimar instability fueling a desire for national legal guarantees  • Hitler trading “protection” for the Church's silence in politics  • The Reichskonkordat's promises contrasted with immediate Nazi violations  • Why agreements fail when leaders reject truth and justice  • Parallels to the Vatican's China agreement and Cardinal Joseph Zen's warnings  • Mit Brennender Sorge as a shift from diplomacy to defiance  • The covert distribution effort and the risk taken by clergy and laity  • The persecution that followed, including imprisonment and deaths at Dachau  Be sure to check out our show page at TeamMojoAcademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resources.  Links

In this episode, we discuss the complexities of blended families, emphasizing the unique challenges stepfamilies face compared to nuclear families. One concept discussed was the pressure for stepfamilies to function like traditional nuclear families, and how letting go of that expectation can relieve stress and improve dynamics. A key theme that emerged was the importance of the "soothing presence", an adult who is emotionally supportive, predictable, and present for children, which fosters trust and security. The discussion explored how children in high-conflict or blended families often take on roles to try to keep the peace or please their parents, sometimes at the expense of their own development. Several points were raised, including the detrimental effects of parent alienation, the psychological impact of inconsistency and divided loyalty, and how step-parents can best support children without overstepping boundaries. Practical strategies were shared for building relationships, encouraging self-esteem, and communicating effectively with both children and biological parents. The conversation also included personal stories, analogies, and an exploration of how life experiences, even with family pets, mirror blended family dynamics. The episode underscored that every family is different, and the most successful step-parenting comes from adaptability, humility, and providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for children to grow and heal. Key Topics Discussed The unrealistic social and personal expectations for stepfamilies to function like nuclear families The concept of "soothing presence" as the basis for trust, security, and emotional development in children Challenges of divided loyalty and parent alienation in blended family situations The negative long-term impact on kids taking on adult responsibilities within the family dynamic Differences between parenting, adulting, and befriending as a step-parent Importance of emotional predictability and consistency for children's well-being Strategies for step-parents to support children without overstepping or causing tension with biological parents Encouraging self-esteem and emotional language in children using relatable terms (e.g., "volcano mad") The value of building a unique, trusting relationship with each child based on their individual personalities Parallels between stepfamily adjustment and integrating new pets into a household Individualized approaches over generic parenting techniques The lifelong process of gaining wisdom and fostering resilience in children through supportive adult relationships

As we begin the second half of Folk Horror Summer, we dip our toes into The Virgin Spring, Ingmar Bergman's Academy Award winning movie from 1960. Parallels and themes are emerging and we are beginning to see what makes Folk Horror, Folk Horror.

Explore the enigmatic realm of unidentified flying objects through three rare, obscure photographs that have intrigued UFO researchers, skeptics, and conspiracy enthusiasts. Captured in a time before digital editing, these images—from snowy Poland, wartime China, and sunny Italy—defy simple explanations and hint at extraterrestrial observers challenging our reality.MF Thomas starts by honoring the infamous 1975 Billy Meier photo from Switzerland: a silver disc "beamship" that inspired The X-Files' "I Want to Believe" poster. Debunked as a hoax with models, strings, and confirmed by his ex-wife Kalliope and experts like Joe Nickell, it contrasts with the episode's more resilient cases.In Part 1, travel to 1959 Muszyna, Poland, where Dr. Stanislaw Kowalczewski photographed a flattened oval UFO during a winter holiday. Emerging from a yellow-orange cloud as a luminous orb, it appeared as a dark saucer on film. Experts in Warsaw papers like Stolica affirmed it 90% likely a self-luminous flying saucer. Linked to Polish UFO lore like Gdynia and Emilcin, it faded under Soviet secrecy—alien craft or artifact?Part 2 delves into WWII Pacific Foo Fighters, focusing on the 1942 Hopeh UFO photo from Tianjin, China, under Japanese occupation. This street-level shot shows a domed silver disc overhead, with pointing pedestrians. Ufologist Shi Bo attributes it to an American witness; analyses dismiss planes or shells. Tied to sightings like Sergeant Brickner's 150+ wobbling objects over Tulagi, it anchors Asian UFO history.In Part 3, relive Italian pilot Giancarlo Cecconi's 1979 Treviso encounter. Radar spotted an erratic object with a blue trail; Cecconi snapped 80+ photos of a 25-foot matte-black cigar-shaped craft with a dome, maneuvering at 300 mph. Backed by witnesses and researcher Antonio Chiumiento, who uncovered potential Ministry cover-ups. Parallels include Chiles-Whitted (1948), RB-47 (1957), and Gemini 4 (1965) cylinders.For all references and music, visit https://www.mydarkpath.com/78-historical-ufo-photosBuy MF Thomas' novels on Amazon.

Dive into one of the most intriguing pre-WWII UFO mysteries: the Scandinavian Ghost Fliers of the 1930s. Were these unmarked aeroplanes — spotted in blizzards, with blinding searchlights and silent engines — advanced human aircraft, or early evidence of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)?In this video, we explore historical reports from 1933–1934, including:- Sightings in remote Swedish and Norwegian villages during severe winter storms.- Massive military searches by Sweden, Norway, and Finland that found no conventional explanation.- Accounts of impossible feats: low-altitude flights in deadly weather, engine cutoffs, landings on ice, and a mysterious crash in the Norwegian Alps with vanishing traces.- Insights from John A. Keel's 1970 Flying Saucer Review article, detailing how these "mystery aeroplanes" outperformed 1930s aviation technology.Drawing from newspaper archives (Dagens-Nyheter, New York Times), eyewitness testimonies, and aviation history, we examine why governments took the phenomenon seriously — and why it remains unexplained.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction to the Ghost Fliers2:15 - Early 1933 Reports & Christmas Eve Sighting5:40 - Blizzards & Impossible Operations9:20 - Government Investigations & Searches13:50 - Key Anomalies: Lights, Silence, Landings18:30 - John Keel's Analysis & Parallels to Modern UAP22:45 - Conclusions & Open QuestionsWhat do you think caused these sightings — secret military tests, misidentifications, or something extraterrestrial?

In this episode, we sit down with Elspeth Hay, Cape Cod journalist and author of Feed Us with Trees, to explore how we can solve our collective separation from nature through the power of tree crops. We dive deep into her journey from learning the “no farms, no food” mantra in childhood to the paradigm-shifting realization that our surrounding forests are actually overflowing with staple foods like acorns. Elspeth deconstructs historical narratives like the term "hunter-gatherer" and the concept of "enclosure," arguing that modern industrial farming models were built upon a violent legacy of privatizing land and erasing highly managed indigenous food systems. The conversation highlights how traditional communities managed ecological resources collectively through the "Commons" and specific cultural rituals. Finally, we discuss how local communities can reverse the "shifting baseline syndrome," her advice on cultivating ecological joy and rituals for the next generation, and her vision of a future rooted in regional food resilience and connection to community and place. Elspeth's book, Feed Us with Trees: https://newsociety.com/book/feed-us-with-trees Timestamps [00:00] Intro - Acorns are a human food![03:09] Reflecting on a childhood feeling of being separate from the natural world.[10:51] Deconstructing the term "hunter-gatherer" and rethinking evolutionary food stories.[12:22] Learning about traditional indigenous forest management and the sophisticated uses of cultural fire.[19:56] Explaining the violent legacy of the historical "enclosure" movement and land privatization.[34:40] Analyzing how the intentional destruction of indigenous food systems won historical wars.[45:32] Parallels between changing Cape Cod fisheries and regional nut co-op resilience networks.[49:57] Replacing the concept of "nature" with the "living world" through the lens of fire-dependent Oak Savannas.[59:26] Exploring the deeply embedded concept of the Commons versus modern private property.[1:10:09] Painting a picture of a thriving utopian future driven by rural ecosystem tending and food networks.[1:19:31] The technical mechanics of processing water-soluble bitter tannins for acorn flour and oils.[1:44:52] Rapid-fire questions on formative books, career advice, empathy, and weaving willow basketsSponsorsDubois Agrinovation: Get 10% off by choosing the promo code ‘MasterClass – Jean-Martin Fortier' when you create an account.

On a spring evening in Londinium, Gaius and Germanicus philosophize on the decline of the American Empire, drawing parallels between modern leadership and historical Roman crises. They contrast current American hesitancy with the "impetuosity" of Rome, suggesting the US has entered a "straitened situation" mirroring the 3rd-century Romancollapse. They argue that internal domestic weakness and a "venal" establishment—which the public views as an "Epstein class"—have eroded the altruism of the American century. (1)81 BCE SULLA
