Depuis début 2025, le nombre de rapts dans le secteur des crypto-monnaies a explosé. En six mois, sept attaques physiques ont été répertoriées en France. Un phénomène mondial, avec des agressions aux Etats-Unis, aux Philippines ou en Corée du Sud par exemple. Des criminels kidnappent, séquestrent voire torturent dans le but de soutirer une rançon qui se chiffre parfois en millions d'euros. Derrière ces vols et enlèvements, un constat très simple : il est bien plus facile d'arracher des mots de passe à un humain que de s'attaquer au coffre fort d'une succursale bancaire. Comment les ravisseurs s'organisent pour sévir ?

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Ely Ratner joins us to discuss the case for a defense pact in the Indo-Pacific. Dr. Ratner starts by laying out his argument of why he thinks now is the right time for this type of agreement, discussing that the pact may serve to help maintain stability and deterrence in the region amidst China's aggressive ambitions to reshape the global order. Dr. Ratner discusses the four countries, U.S., Japan, Australia, and the Philippines, that he believes the pact will include to start with and what their responsibilities will be within the pact. He shares that he envisions one of the main features of this partnership to be greater military integration among its members and to serve as a framework to garner the collective power of US allies and partners through a multilateral collective security agreement. Dr. Ratner discusses the viability of the pact and the reasons he thinks there are more opportunities for the pact to be successful now than there was in the past, including greater strategic alignment among the four partner countries, increased intra-Asian cooperation, and the growing reciprocity in U.S. alliances themselves. Dr. Ratner also considers how these different countries may respond to the idea of this pact, especially considering China may react badly to it. He underscores that Beijing is likely to behave badly regardless of this pact and states countries should not turn away from it because of Beijing. Finally, Dr. Ratner underscores how this pact would not require the U.S. to extend new commitments abroad and describes the continuing will and desire he sees from the Trump Administration to continue cooperation and strengthening of alliances in the region. Dr. Ely Ratner is a Principal at The Marathon Initiative, a bipartisan think tank dedicated to preparing the United States for an era of sustained great power competition. He served as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs from 2021-2025. Prior to confirmation, he was the Director of the DoD China Task Force and a Senior Advisor to China to the Secretary of Defense. Before arriving at the Department of Defense, Dr. Ratner was the Executive Vice President and Director of Studies at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), where he was a member of the executive team and responsible for managing the Center's research agenda and staff. Dr. Ratner served from 2015 to 2017 as the Deputy National Security advisor to Vice President Joe Biden, and from 2011 to 2012 in the office of Chinese and Mongolian affairs at the State Department. He earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.

If you're thinking about my MAMA, it don't matter if she's black or white, ooh! In this case, we get the best of both worlds when Altmania returns to close out our final Demme / Viola screenplay collaboration, and one final another production from the Philippines. This time around, Jonathan Demme gets a story by credit, and his buddy Joe uses a pseudonym for the screenwriter. Originally called WOMEN IN CHAINS, we take a look at BLACK MAMA WHITE MAMA; a movie that is full of a lot of funny moments and is pretty tame by exploitation standards of the time. We get into Pam Grier's incredible stories of her life and acting career, that combined with exploitation genre stuff, women's empowerment, the radical attitudes of blaxploitation, Roger Corman buying up Ingmar Bergman films that get huge in the United States, Demme selling this script for $500, we gush over Sid Haig's great acting, and then we talk about this fun ass movie!

In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Esquire from the YouTube channel Legal Mindset  to expose the growing trend of nuisance streamers in Asia—content creators who break local laws for clout, profit, and views. We dive into shocking cases like Johnny Somali and Vitaly, who face serious legal consequences in Korea and the Philippines for disrespecting cultural norms and engaging in illegal behavior during livestreams.Andrew, a U.S. attorney currently living in Thailand, breaks down the legal systems in Asia, why these streamers think they're untouchable, and how local governments are starting to crack down. We also discuss what makes Bangkok such a hotspot for digital nomads and content creators—and why Thailand isn't the lawless playground some outsiders think it is.

Zo finds himself in the Philippines where he's there to enjoy the scenery, snack on adobo with lumpia and visit some Army buddies. While there he gets wind of a tale regarding a soldier from a nearby base that nobody really gets along with because he keeps to himself. At the same time it's said that this guy has some amazing hand to hand combat skills and moves like no one has ever seen. He seems to effortlessly dodge bullets and strikes with incredible speed and efficiency. From the way others talked about this unusual soldier you'd think that they were talking about a shinobi, but who ever heard of an American Ninja?  Episode Segments00:06:57 Opening Credits for American Ninja starring: Michael Dudikoff, Steve James, and Judie Aronson00:17:40 Favorite Parts of the 1985 film: American Ninja00:58:21 Trivia from the Martial Arts Action Movie American Ninja01:06:47 Critics' Thoughts on Sam Firstenberg's American Ninja Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Join us for an inspiring episode of the Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, recorded on June 5, 2025, at 03:49 PM EDT, as Pastor Jack Young sits down with Evangelist Doug Whitesides, an 83-year-old veteran of 60 years in ministry.

The accident opened unexpected opportunities, leading him to this new calling in the Philippines, where he's witnessing God's redemptive power in remarkable ways. Enjoy!

Missionary Letter - Philippines

Send us a textIn this rare and intimate episode, host NatNat steps into deep vulnerability—becoming the client in a live Akashic Record reading with energy healer Bree Dela Cruz.What unfolds is a powerful journey through past lives, ancestral gifts, and the unspoken fears that keep us playing small.Bree reveals Nat's past life as a solitary mountain climber—a mirror to her current spiritual ascension and the courageous process of releasing relationships that no longer align with her soul's frequency. The reading confirms a truth Nat has long suspected: her healing hands are a generational gift, passed down through her maternal lineage.Most profound is the validation that Nat's intuitive healing extended the life of her dear friend Natalie—who lived far beyond medical expectations after a terminal cancer diagnosis. That moment becomes a catalyst: external proof that her spiritual gifts are not imagined—they are embodied.Both Nat and Bree share deeply personal healing stories that defy conventional medicine: 

HOMILY REFLECTION OF REV. FR. MELCHOR BERNAL, SVD at the Diocesan Shrine of Jesus the Divine Word, Christ the King Mission Seminary, Quezon City, Philippines

Sau 12 năm đàm phán, Việt Nam và Indonesia đã đạt được thỏa thuận về phân định vùng đặc quyền kinh tế. Văn bản được công bố chính thức ngày 23/12/2022 trong chuyến thăm cấp Nhà nước Jakarta của chủ tịch nước Việt Nam Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Bước cuối cùng là Quốc Hội hai nước phê chuẩn văn bản để có chính thức có hiệu lực và giải quyết những căng thẳng, bất đồng và cùng phát triển khai thác tài nguyên theo đúng luật biển quốc tế. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 18/04/2025, nhà nghiên cứu Laurent Gédéon, Trường Sư phạm Lyon (École normale supérieure de Lyon), nhấn mạnh bối cảnh quan hệ song phương tốt đẹp là một trong những yếu tố giúp Việt Nam và Indonesia thiết lập được thỏa thuận. Năm 2025, hai nước kỷ niệm 70 năm thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao. Quan hệ “đối tác chiến lược” có từ năm 2013 được nâng lên thành “đối tác chiến lược toàn diện” vào ngày 09/03/2025 nhân chuyến thăm cấp Nhà nước của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm tới Indonesia. Về kinh tế, trong ASEAN, Indonesia là đối tác thương mại lớn thứ ba của Việt Nam và Việt Nam là đối tác thương mại lớn thứ tư của Indonesia. Mục tiêu của hai chính phủ là tăng kim ngạch thương mại song phương lên 18 tỷ đô la vào năm 2028. RFI : Việt Nam và Indonesia sớm phê chuẩn hiệp định phân định vùng đặc quyền kinh tế (EEZ). Việt Nam và Indonesia có những yêu sách cụ thể như nào ở Biển Đông ? Laurent Gédéon : Các cuộc đàm phán về pháp lý liên quan đến hiệp định tập trung vào việc giải quyết các vùng đặc quyền kinh tế chồng lấn mà Việt Nam và Indonesia đều đòi chủ quyền. Tôi muốn nhắc lại cả hai nước đều là thành viên của Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển, được Indonesia phê chuẩn ngày 03/02/1986 và Việt Nam phê chuẩn ngày 25/07/1994. Như vậy, cả hai nước đều công nhận luật biển quốc tế. Sự chồng lấn về chủ quyền giữa hai nước liên quan đến vùng biển xung quanh quần đảo Natuna ở phía nam Biển Đông. Đối với Việt Nam, đường phân định EEZ phải trùng với ranh giới thềm lục địa giữa Indonesia và Việt Nam. Hà Nội dựa vào thực tế là ranh giới này đã được xác định vào năm 2003 thông qua một thỏa thuận song phương. Ngược lại, Indonesia cho rằng ranh giới của vùng đặc quyền kinh tế cần được đàm phán riêng biệt với ranh giới của thềm lục địa. Jakarta lập luận rằng theo Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển (UNCLOS), đây là hai vùng biển riêng biệt, cho nên phải được đàm phán riêng. Do đó, Indonesia muốn tính đến đường trung tuyến giữa quần đảo Natuna và Côn Đảo : Quần đảo Natuna cách đảo Kalimantan của Indonesia khoảng 300 km, còn Côn Đảo cách bờ biển Việt Nam khoảng 90 km. Nhưng đối với Hà Nội, việc sử dụng đường trung tuyến giữa các quần đảo là không công bằng vì có lợi cho Indonesia. Đọc thêmViệt Nam và Indonesia đạt đồng thuận về phân định vùng đặc quyền kinh tế Nhiều vấn đề pháp lý khác cũng đã được nêu lên trong quá trình đàm phán, đặc biệt là những khác biệt trong các đường cơ sở được sử dụng để đo khu vực phân định. Là một quốc gia quần đảo, Indonesia được phép sử dụng đường cơ sở quần đảo, tức là các đường thẳng, không nhất thiết phải chạy theo đường bờ biển, trong khi Việt Nam chỉ có thể sử dụng đường cơ sở thông thường chạy theo đường bờ biển. Hai phương pháp cơ bản khác nhau này làm phức tạp các cuộc đàm phán vì Hà Nội cho rằng điều này làm suy yếu vị thế của họ. Bất chấp những khác biệt, Indonesia và Việt Nam cuối cùng đã thống nhất về hai đường ranh giới phù hợp với Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển, trong đó quy định rằng thềm lục địa và vùng đặc quyền kinh tế là hai vùng biển riêng biệt cần được đàm phán riêng. Tuy nhiên, do tính chất bảo mật của các cuộc đàm phán song phương, cách thức hai bên áp dụng phương pháp đường trung tuyến để giải quyết tranh chấp của họ đã không được tiết lộ, nhưng không thể phủ nhận rằng đây là một sự thỏa hiệp mang tính sáng tạo, thể hiện bước tiến pháp lý đáng kể trong khi vẫn tuân thủ các nguyên tắc của Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về Luật Biển. RFI : Thỏa thuận về vùng đặc quyền kinh tế là bước tiến quan trọng sau hơn một thập niên đàm phán. Triển vọng của cả hai nước sẽ thế nào, cũng như tương lai về mối quan hệ giữa hai nước với Trung Quốc ? Laurent Gédéon : Như đã nói, Hiệp định về vùng đặc quyền kinh tế giữa Indonesia và Việt Nam là một bước tiến lớn không chỉ trong quan hệ song phương giữa hai nước mà còn cho toàn bộ môi trường khu vực. Hệ quả đầu tiên và rõ ràng nhất là thỏa thuận này sẽ chấm dứt căng thẳng giữa hai nước liên quan đến hoạt động đánh bắt cá của tàu thuyền Việt Nam trong vùng biển vẫn được Indonesia coi là vùng đặc quyền kinh tế của họ. Hệ quả thứ hai liên quan đến các nguồn năng lượng trong khu vực này, đặc biệt là khí đốt tự nhiên, một số mỏ nằm ở phần EEZ của Indonesia giáp với EEZ của Việt Nam. Việc làm rõ ranh giới giữa hai vùng đặc quyền kinh tế sẽ cho phép Indonesia tự do phát triển hoạt động thăm dò và khai thác nguồn tài nguyên này. Hệ quả thứ ba mang tính chất pháp lý bởi vì thỏa thuận Việt Nam-Indonesia mở đường cho các thỏa thuận tương tự có thể có giữa các nước khác trong khu vực, có nghĩa là có thể thấy trong việc áp dụng đường phân định kép (thềm lục địa và vùng đặc quyền kinh tế) một mô hình cho các cuộc đàm phán trong tương lai. Hệ quả cuối cùng ảnh hưởng đến Trung Quốc vì đường ranh giới chung do Việt Nam và Indonesia thiết lập chồng lấn một phần với đường chín đoạn đánh dấu yêu sách chủ quyền của Trung Quốc đối với phần lớn Biển Đông. Đọc thêmViệt Nam kêu gọi ASEAN đoàn kết vào lúc Bắc Kinh lấn lướt ở Biển Đông Tuy nhiên, có một thắc mắc về chính sách của Indonesia liên quan đến Trung Quốc. Nhân chuyến thăm Bắc Kinh ngày 09/11/2024 của tổng thống Indonesia Prabowo Subianto, nhiều thỏa thuận đã được ký kết, kể cả hợp tác công nghiệp và khai khoáng, hợp tác thương mại, với tổng giá trị lên tới 10 tỷ đô la. Ngoài ra còn có một thỏa thuận về hợp tác hàng hải, trong đó hai bên cam kết cùng nhau phát triển kinh tế hàng hải ở Biển Đông, bao gồm cả những khu vực có tranh chấp chồng lấn. Tuyên bố chung được đưa ra trong dịp này nêu rõ rằng hai nước đã “đạt được một thỏa thuận quan trọng về phát triển chung ở những khu vực có yêu sách chồng lấn”. Tuy nhiên cho đến nay, tất cả các nước có tranh chấp hàng hải với Bắc Kinh, như Indonesia, Philippines, Việt Nam, Brunei, Malaysia và Đài Loan, đều tránh tham gia vào thỏa thuận phát triển chung với Trung Quốc vì sợ rằng việc đó sẽ bị hiểu là công nhận chính thức các yêu sách của Trung Quốc. Mặc dù Indonesia đã thận trọng khẳng định lại rằng họ không công nhận các yêu sách quá đáng của Trung Quốc đối với Biển Đông, nhưng thỏa thuận giữa Bắc Kinh và Jakarta đã đánh dấu sự phá vỡ lập luận trước đây và cho thấy rõ mâu thuẫn trong lập trường của Indonesia về luật hàng hải quốc tế. Về phần Việt Nam, quốc gia không bị ràng buộc bởi bất kỳ thỏa thuận chung nào với Trung Quốc về các khu vực tranh chấp, vẫn kiên định với lập trường của họ và trong phản đối các yêu sách hàng hải của Trung Quốc. Đối với Hà Nội, thỏa thuận này chắc chắn là một bước đột phá ngoại giao lớn và là tiền lệ pháp lý mà Hà Nội có thể khai thác ở cấp độ ngoại giao. Ngoài ra, thỏa thuận cũng có lợi thế là không đặt Hà Nội vào thế đối đầu trực tiếp với Bắc Kinh trong khi vẫn khẳng định được cam kết của họ đối với luật pháp quốc tế. RFI : Sau thỏa thuận về vùng đặc quyền kinh tế giữa Việt Nam và Indonesia, liệu đã có thể nói đến một liên minh đối trọng Philippines, Indonesia, Việt Nam để đối phó với các yêu sách của Trung Quốc ở Biển Đông không ? Laurent Gédéon : Có, trong bối cảnh Trung Quốc luôn chú ý đến việc không để một mặt trận chống Trung Quốc trỗi dậy giữa các quốc gia ven Biển Đông và rộng hơn là trong ASEAN, thì thỏa thuận Việt Nam-Indonesia mở đường cho sự xuất hiện của các chiến lược tập thể đối phó với những tranh chấp hàng hải ở Biển Đông. Những chiến lược này đáng chú ý - và cũng gây vấn đề cho Trung Quốc - vì chúng được thực hiện theo cách tuân thủ chặt chẽ luật hàng hải quốc tế. Việc này càng giành được sự ủng hộ của cộng đồng quốc tế và củng cố thêm sự cô lập của Trung Quốc đối với các yêu sách chủ quyền tối đa của nước này. Đọc thêmThỏa thuận Việt Nam - Indonesia: Một hướng giải quyết tranh chấp Biển Đông? Cho nên chúng ta có thể thấy những thỏa thuận kiểu này gia tăng trong tương lai, đặc biệt là liên quan đến Việt Nam, Philippines và Malaysia. Đó là một quá trình dài, trước hết đòi hỏi các đối tác tăng cường tin tưởng nhau, và sẽ ngày càng phức tạp hơn vì liên quan đến các vùng biển quanh quần đảo Trường Sa, nơi vẫn được biết đến là trung tâm của các vấn đề địa-chiến lược đặc biệt quan trọng. Ngoài ra, cũng cần lưu ý rằng việc ký kết các hiệp định quốc tế là sự kiện quan trọng nhưng việc thực hiện chúng cũng quan trọng không kém. Và về điểm này, sẽ cần phải phân tích cẩn thận những tác động thực địa của hiệp định Việt Nam-Indonesia để đưa ra kết luận và phát triển các phân tích triển vọng có thể diễn ra. Cho nên, ngoài một liên minh đối trọng giữa Philippines, Việt Nam và Indonesia, chúng ta có thể xem rằng các thỏa thuận kiểu này phù hợp với sự hội tụ lợi ích ngầm hoặc rõ ràng của ba nước vì chúng hạn chế khả năng của Trung Quốc trong việc khẳng định các yêu sách chủ quyền và dẫn đến việc Bắc Kinh ngày càng bị cô lập về pháp lý. Dĩ nhiên Trung Quốc có thể tìm cách đảo ngược để áp đặt quan điểm của họ, nhưng việc đó sẽ làm giảm thêm tính hợp pháp về mặt pháp lý của các hành động, yêu sách của Bắc Kinh. Do đó, thỏa thuận này có thể đóng vai trò là mô hình giải quyết các tranh chấp hàng hải khác ở Đông Nam Á và tạo thành đòn bẩy ngoại giao khôn khéo để thay đổi tình hình trong khu vực. RFI : Việt Nam đã bị Ủy Ban Châu Âu đưa ra “thẻ vàng” về tình trạng đánh bắt cá bất hợp pháp. Thỏa thuận với Indonesia được coi là dấu chấm hết cho tình trạng đánh bắt cá bất hợp pháp trong khu vực. Liệu đây có phải là một kiểu cam kết để cá Việt Nam có thể vào thị trường châu Âu không ? Laurent Gédéon : Vùng đặc quyền kinh tế cho phép một quốc gia tiếp cận độc quyền các nguồn tài nguyên thiên nhiên ở vùng biển và đáy biển của nước đó. Việc phân định rõ ràng không gian này thường giúp tránh được những hiểu lầm và mâu thuẫn trong quản lý nguồn cá nếu các đối tác có thiện chí. Về mặt này, thỏa thuận giữa Việt Nam và Indonesia làm rõ quyền đánh bắt cá của cả hai bên ở Biển Đông và thể hiện sự cải thiện rõ rệt so với giai đoạn trước đây, khi cả hai nước đều có yêu sách riêng, khiến việc xác định tàu cá có vượt qua ranh giới hay không trở nên khó khăn. Do đó, việc làm rõ biên giới sẽ tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho việc áp dụng các quy định và trừng phạt những người vi phạm, đặc biệt là xung quanh quần đảo Natuna, nơi giàu tài nguyên thiên nhiên. Nhìn chung, kiểu thỏa thuận này có giá trị vì nó tăng cường năng lực hợp tác và quản lý lẫn nhau giữa hai bên. Tình hình này chỉ có thể có lợi cho Việt Nam khi chứng tỏ rằng đất nước đã trưởng thành về năng lực quản lý nguồn lợi thủy sản. Đọc thêmChồng lấn EEZ, nguyên nhân vụ va chạm giữa tàu Việt Nam và Indonesia Không chỉ riêng ở Biển Đông, đánh bắt cá bất hợp pháp, không báo cáo và không theo quy định (IUU) là một vấn đề toàn cầu đe dọa hệ sinh thái đại dương và “đánh bắt cá bền vững”. Đây là lý do tại sao chính quyền Liên Hiệp Châu Âu đã giám sát Việt Nam sau cảnh báo vào năm 2017. Xin nhắc lại, những nước xuất khẩu sang Liên Âu được phân loại và có thể chịu trừng phạt tương ứng với hệ thống mã màu : xanh lá cây, vàng, đỏ, các lệnh trừng phạt có thể lên tới mức dừng hoàn toàn hoạt động thương mại. Do đó, thỏa thuận giữa Việt Nam và Indonesia có thể được coi là một giải pháp đôi bên cùng có lợi vì nó củng cố quan hệ song phương, tránh leo thang giữa ngư dân và cơ quan thực thi pháp luật. Còn đối với Việt Nam, thỏa thuận này cho thấy quốc gia này nghiêm túc thực hiện các cam kết quốc tế và là đối tác đáng tin cậy cho Liên Hiệp Châu Âu.

Note from Film makers : Also, just wanted to mention some of the conspiracy stuff hidden in the film.… since you didn't notice any of it… lol. It was on our mind. Film starts with Tim getting a speeding ticket, when asked where he's coming from he says - Muldrow.  In real life Tim got a speeding ticket outside Muldrow which is right by Elohim City.  The only reason for him to be in that area is Elohim… and Tim said he had never been there before. Richard Snell's influence and friendship.  In real life Richard said his death would be avenged and asked to have the TV turned on the morning of his execution, April 19th.  The officer said Snelll was grinning while watching the news of the bombing.   How well or even if he knew Tim is conspiracy lore.  Snell is buried at Elohim City. Strassmaier telling Tim about Snell's bomb plot in 83'.  In real life it goes that Snell and others from the CSA were going to blow up the Federal Building in OKC, but the bomb blew up in their hands.  They took it as a sign from God not to do it. Tim and Terry selling guns, Tim says you don't know where we got these from.  In real life the story goes that Tim had Terry steal Roger Moore's (who was tied to the CIA) gun collection  to sell and make money for the bombing. The story is very fishy, especially Moore's version. Terry asks Tim where he's gonna get that much money from to buy components for the bomb, but Tim never answers.  Tim has a lighter with a Freemason logo on it. All the phone calls when Tim is at the phone booth, it is never revealed who he's talking to or what he is saying. When Tim is renting the storage room he gives her the wrong ID with one of his aliases. On other oaccasions he signs papers with different names. Tim and Strassmeir at the strip club.  In real life a stripper at Lady Godiva's says she saw Tim, Strassmeir and Michael Brescia at the strip club all together shortly before the bombing.  They all said  it didn't happen.  Strassmeir claims he only met Tim once at a gun show.  Brescia says he didn't know Tim at all. Terry flying to the Philippines. In real life Terry went many times, Tim's lawyer suspected him to meet with terrorists to learn bomb building. John Doe 2 is in the background when he rents the truck. The passenger door is heard opening and someone gets in… who is never revealed, John Doe 2.Towards the end, the gameshow he's watching in the motel room while eating Chinese food, has secret messages on the game board:  STRASSMEIR, HYPNOSIS, MKULTRA, CIA, FBI, etc.The montage at the end has images of: teeth X-rays  (Wendy Painting's theory he was micro chipped in his teeth), MK-Ultra, Aryan Republican Army, Carol Howe, Terrance Yeakey, Kenneth Trentadue,  and Jolly West. Also, on a side note you might enjoy… the announcer of the gameshow introduces the current winner as, “Dave McGowan.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Welcome to Vatican Insider on another exciting Jubilee weekend in a very hot Rome – the Jubilee of Sports with a lot of events in the agenda including the Mass on Sunday the 15th celebrated by Pope Leo XIV, a Pope who likes sports, and has played tennis, and is a fan of his native Chicago's baseball team, the White Sox. In fact, he was given a White Sox baseball cap at the Wednesday general audience and wore it briefly, sporting a broad smile! (photos from Fr.Peter Zorjan! Leo XIV is standing near a group of American seminarians and I suspect they gave him the hat!) The interview segment features Catherine Wiley and Marilyn Henry of the Catholic Grandparents Association as we talk about the first international conference CGA recently held in Rocca di Papa, near Rome. Catherine is the founder and president of CGA and Marilyn is the delegate for the U.S. and works with other CGA groups internationally. CGA grandparents from Ireland, England, Australia, the U.S., Malta, Gibraltar and the Philippines were among those attending the conference. That fascinating conversation comes after the news.

 Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 15:19  mark.Every individual is the citizen of a country.  Being a citizen, he or she can claim the rights and protection of that country. Along with the rights come some responsibilities also.  They have to follow the laws of that country.  Some people acquire citizenship in the country they migrate to.  Their citizenship comes with the package of rights and responsibilities too.  God has offered the entire humanity citizenship in heaven.  It comes as a package with rights and responsibilities also.  We have our entire life on earth to prove our qualification for the heavenly citizenship.  As Satan knows this, he tries really hard to block our citizenship in heaven.What are the documents in heaven? -There is a Book in heaven as per Psalm 69:28 and Exodus 32:33, Psalm 139:16, Psalm 56:8, Daniel 7:10, Daniel 12:1, Isaiah 65:6, and Hebrew 12:23.  The Book of Life is mentioned in Philippines 4:3, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 13:8, Revelation 17:8, and Revelation 20:12 and 20:15.  In Revelation 20:12 there is a reference of books other than the Book of Life. How God has made us eligible for the heavenly citizenship and the requirements for that citizenship are discussed. My name...

Ferdinand Magellan was a glory-hungry Portuguese explorer sailing under the Spanish flag, out to prove he could circle the globe, convert entire civilizations, and maybe pick up a few spice islands along the way. But after months of storms, mutinies, and bad decisions, Magellan washed up in the Philippines thinking he could win a war with fifty guys, a translator, and the power of God. What he got instead was Lapu Lapu—a chieftain with no interest in foreign gods, foreign kings, or foreign bullshit. In today's episode, Ben and Andrew tell the story of an egomaniac's world tour gone sideways, and the man who sent him home in a box. Well, he would've, if Magellan's crew had ever gone back to get the body.

Are you considering whether to move to another country before an economic collapse hits? This Ready Your Future episode explores the real experiences of an American expat who moved to the Philippines 12 years ago to escape economic pressures, tax hikes, and healthcare mandates. Todd breaks down the realities of expatriating for preparedness reasons, sharing insights from someone who lived through the challenges firsthand. You'll discover the unexpected difficulties with food quality, infrastructure problems, construction nightmares, and security concerns that many don't consider before making the leap. This episode examines whether moving abroad truly offers better survival prospects during an economic collapse or if staying in the United States might actually be the smarter preparedness strategy. Todd also explores alternative solutions like relocating within the U.S. to rural areas that offer self-sufficiency without sacrificing modern conveniences. Whether you're retired, planning for the future, or worried about America's direction, this episode will challenge your assumptions about international relocation as a preparedness strategy.

Historian and author Brian Bruce vividly describes an often neglected but important aspect of the Pacific Theater in WWII: The campaign to liberate New Guinea from the Japanese and thwart their planned invasion of Australia. In his book MacArthur's Bloody Butchers: Company G, 163rd Regiment, Bruce follows the path of four men from the 41st Infantry Division – including Bruce's great uncle Doyle – as they fought their way from New Guinea, to the Philippines and prepared to invade Japan. Along the way they experienced brutal jungle warfare, hand-to-hand combat with Japanese commandos dug into caves, romance with Australian women, and even the devastation of Hiroshima. Assisting the US war effort in New Guinea were the indigenous peoples, known to the Americans as angels, who helped carry supplies and wounded soldiers from the field. Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

In episode 214, host Galit Friedlander and guest Kwasi Ohene-Adu (dancer, technologist, and founder/CEO of Groovetime) get into a conversation that's part dance history, part tech-forward vision, and fully rooted in the reality of what dancers are navigating today. From street performing and coding his own programs in college to building a platform that connects dance trends, AI, and digital ownership, Kwasi shares what he's learned and where he believes the industry is headed. This episode covers everything from soft power and viral culture to how dancers can create new revenue paths without waiting on the old system to catch up. Expect stories, sharp insights, and future-focused ideas—plus a few unexpected laughs along the way.
