Day 1,676.Today, amid yet more deadly strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding oblast – and as parts of airspace above Poland are once again shut down – we bring you developments causing deep concern across Europe. President Trump, frustrated by the lack of progress and eager to unlock a path to business, is reportedly considering a deal with the Kremlin that would see the US ease sanctions on Russia in exchange for the release of political prisoners.

Ukraine has begun introducing emergency power cuts in Kyiv as Russia steps up its attacks on energy infrastructure. Kyiv has been preparing for a renewed onslaught before winter begins, by building fifteen small scale power plants in heavily fortified concrete bunkers. We find out how businesses are operating.

Dr Joanna Kujawa is a scholar, speaker, academic, spiritual detective and the author of Alien Goddess: UFOs, AI and the Goddesses of Ascension and The Other Goddess: Mary Magdalene and the Goddesses of Eros and Secret Knowledge.She is not only a scholar but also a fearless spiritual detective unearthing mysteries that challenge conventional narratives. Her journey began in communist Poland with $20 and a borrowed suitcase.She first moved to Sweden then Paris, France, and Canada where she received 3 university degrees at the Pontifical Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto.She then travelled through Asia and moved to Australia where she completed her PhD at Monash University in Melbourne. As an active academic for over 20 years, she uses her scholarly training to investigate topics other academics often pass over such as what is the nature of UFO experiences?Is there a connection between AI, UFO, and the esoteric Goddess Traditions of Inanna, the Eleusinian Mysteries, The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and the Pistis Sophia?She now lives in subtropical Australia with her handsome man and their border collie, Charlotte.Alien Goddess: UFOs, AI, and the Goddesses of Ascension: https://amzn.to/4mJ8hGaWebsite: https://www.joannakujawa.com/Visit Law of Positivism:https://www.instagram.com/lawofpositivism/Website: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawofpositivism/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lawofpositivismTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@lawofpositivism
The first draft a new hire used to write badly, and learn from, now arrives finished. Healthcare marketing never had a residency. It had the entry-level job, and AI is absorbing that job one task at a time. Judgment in this field is tacit knowledge. It is knowing when a quote will land wrong with physicians, or when a headline will read as spin. It comes from repetition with feedback, and those repetitions lived inside the lowest-value work: the rewritten press release and the service line page that came back covered in red. That is the work AI now handles first. Stanford's payroll research suggests the change is arriving quietly, as junior roles that never get posted rather than people shown the door. The case for AI as a faster apprenticeship is real. A tool can put the patterns of the best people in the building in front of a beginner at the moment of need. The trouble starts when the tool leaves the room. In one field experiment, high school students who practiced math with an unguarded chatbot scored better in practice and worse on the exam than students who never had it. They looked finished before they had learned anything. Experience is what protects senior people for now, and Chris Boyer and Reed Smith question how long that holds. Workers who trust AI more tend to check its output less. Experienced endoscopists in Poland found fewer precancerous growths on their own after routine AI use, though a three-year Japanese study found no such decline. Most AI-drafted patient messages still pass through a human reviewer. That safeguard works only while the reviewer's judgment stays sharp. Rose Glenn and David Jarrard argue that communication education was already teaching theory without application, and that the gap widens once AI takes over the tasks where application used to happen. Their answer runs through internships, relationships with compliance and physician leaders built before a crisis, and a new textbook for students and early-career professionals. David's sharpest point is that as more skills become AI-integrated, real-world experience becomes worth more. If no one on your team has written a discharge instruction from scratch this year, who will notice when the AI gets one wrong?

Tara welcomes Canadian author Aga Maksimowska, whose latest novel, Becalming, Dundurn Press (2026), is a coming-of-age story about premature sexual development and the fall of Communism in Poland. Her stories and essays have been published in Brick, The New Quarterly, Humber Literary Review, White Wall Review, The Globe and Mail, Today's Parent, and longlisted for the CBC Short Story Prize. https://www.dundurn.com/books_/t22117/a9781459756038-becalming "Gosia, a high school chemistry teacher, travels to her native Poland to visit her estranged father. Back in Canada, meanwhile, her father-in-law — who has been more of a dad to her than her own — is dying of cancer. Away from her routine, Gosia questions everything in her life, including her long-term boyfriend, Peter. She feels stuck in the terrifying time of early adulthood, in her first grown-up job while managing student debt, monogamy, and existential dread. Is this really it, she wonders? Gosia's time in Poland gives her the chance to examine her life, and she finds herself pulled homeward to Canada, where she faces the fact that Peter's father — like her own — is far from perfect. Can she love despite betrayal? Can she find hope in her fiery, complex love for Peter? Is there something more to this life that she didn't even realize she had? Becalming tells the story of two people realizing that happily ever after is not something to be but something to continue to explore, through adversity and outrage, tragedy and inspiration, and love." https://maksimowska.ca/ https://www.instagram.com/agamaksimowska/ Recommended titles: Summerland by Helen Humphreys The Unravelling of Ou by Hollay Ghadery A Little Annihilation by Anna Janko

Western enemies of Poland wonder whether Moscow might make a useful ally.
Russia's provocations against NATO countries are becomingincreasingly difficult to dismiss as isolated incidents. How far is Moscow prepared to go — and how should Poland and its allies respond?In this Deep Dive, Adam Reichardt speaks with Jakub Bornio,security analyst and scholar at the University of Wrocław, the Institute of Central Europe and the Jamestown Foundation, about the deteriorating security environment on NATO's eastern flank.They discuss Russia's strategy towards Poland and the Balticstates, the danger of escalation and miscalculation, why Bornio is sceptical of the term “hybrid war”, and whether Moscow is deliberately testing the credibility of NATO's Article 5 guarantees.The conversation also examines plans for a permanent US military presence in Poland, what American troops can realistically contribute to deterrence, and why the coming winter could become another major test for both Ukraine and NATO's eastern flank.

On this week's episode of The Joy of Football Podcast, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett are joined by former Everton, Rangers, Marseille and England midfielder Trevor Steven for a special extended conversation spanning his remarkable career in football and his work today with mental health charity MindFlow. Trevor takes us inside the great Everton side of the 1980s, recalling life under Howard Kendall, winning the FA Cup, two First Division titles and the European Cup Winners' Cup, and playing alongside the likes of Peter Reid, Kevin Sheedy, Andy Gray and Gary Lineker. He also reflects on the impact of the ban on English clubs competing in Europe and reveals why he eventually decided to leave Goodison Park. That decision left Trevor with a huge choice. He reveals his conversations with Sir Alex Ferguson about joining Manchester United, why a move to Old Trafford ultimately didn't happen, and how Graeme Souness convinced him to join Rangers instead. Trevor remembers arriving at Ibrox during an extraordinary period for Scottish football, before discussing his later move to Marseille and life inside one of Europe's biggest clubs. Trevor also takes Martin and Neil inside his England career under Sir Bobby Robson, from the unexpected phone call that gave him his first international opportunity to representing his country at two World Cups. He relives Mexico 1986, Gary Lineker's goals against Poland and being on the pitch against Diego Maradona during the Hand of God and Goal of the Century, before remembering just how close he came to taking a penalty in England's dramatic 1990 World Cup semi-final against West Germany. Away from the pitch, Trevor explains the work behind MindFlow, bringing football and the construction industry together to tackle the mental health crisis affecting workers across the UK. He discusses the similarities between football dressing rooms and construction sites, the importance of getting men talking, and how former players including Gary Lineker, Stuart Pearce, John Barnes and Viv Anderson are helping to change the conversation. Plus, Trevor gives his thoughts on the modern game, England and the way football has changed since his playing days, before Martin delivers another Letter From The Gantry. From Everton, Rangers and Marseille to Sir Alex Ferguson, Graeme Souness, Bobby Robson, Maradona, England and the World Cup, this is Trevor Steven's story. #TrevorSteven #Everton #EFC #Rangers #RangersFC #England #ThreeLions #Maradona #WorldCup #ManchesterUnited #SirAlexFerguson #BobbyRobson #GraemeSouness #EvertonFC #Football #MartinTyler #NeilBarnett #TheJoyOfFootball #JOF Hosted by The Revive Lounge Ltd UCsdye1hUxP4xhgBx9zvuSjg Subscribe to https://youtube.com/@TheReviveLounge?si=L5ddzrJrtSmErtJ5 Support the Pod https://patreon.com/TheJoysofFootballPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Read us on Substack https://martintylerandneilbarnett.substack.com/ Follow our Twitter https://x.com/TheJOF Follow our Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@joy_of_football_pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Follow our Instagram https://https://www.instagram.com/joy_of_football_pod/ Contact us via: therevivelounge@gmail.com Music by Arron Clague - https://www.instagram.com/arronclague?igsh=aHg1bjQ3OHpmaXIz Intro Sequence by Wellong Sadewo (wells.illustration): https://www.instagram.com/wells.illustration/ A massive thank you to our Patreon Supporters: Nick Parmenter Hillary Abbott Daniel Butigan Tommy Mck Katie Watson Nathan A Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Into The Necrosphere, I'm joined by Skyggen of black metal battalion Terrestrial Hospice. Having been a fan of his work for years, the release of the band's devastating new album Omnicide: Chapter 1 finally provided the perfect excuse to bring him onto the show for his debut appearance. We discuss his journey from discovering King Diamond and Darkthrone as a kid in Poland, forming his first band and becoming immersed in the country's chaotic black metal underground, to ultimately taking on the role of guitarist and vocalist in Terrestrial Hospice. After that, it's on to the Weekly News Rant, where I round up the latest singles by Lugubrious Garment, Azarath, Enslaved, Hatesphere and Sarcator for judgment. I'm also answering your questions, including social media's impact on the metal scene, Blackie Lawless' alleged use of backing tracks, and the new project Chants featuring former Gaerea guitarist Miguel Vanziller. I also reveal my five favourite video game soundtracks and games, list some of the best newer Norwegian black metal bands, lament the Springboks' defeat to the Wallabies, and give you my thoughts on the new Resident Evil movie.

Poland's battery storage market is skipping the pilot phase, with its first projects starting at 200MW, a size it took Germany five years to reach. And because of the way Poland runs its grid, two identical batteries in different locations can earn very different amounts. With over 2GW of batteries expected on the grid by 2028, the market is about to change fast.Ed Porter is joined by Aleksandra Radwańska, Country Lead Poland at Entrix, and Jan Kłoczko at Entrix, to unpack what it takes to optimise batteries in a market scaling this fast.They cover:How two identical batteries in different parts of Poland can earn very different amounts, and why each needs its own scorecard.Why getting a new battery approved to support Poland's grid can take up to two years, while everyone is still learning the rules.How over 2GW of batteries expected by 2028, in a country that peaks at around 25GW, will change the way power is traded in Poland.What battery owners are choosing between: guaranteed-income deals that help secure loans, or betting on the market.Why Poland's single national electricity price is coming under strain as the grid gets more congested.Want to see how battery assets in Poland are performing?

With over 2GW of batteries expected on the grid by 2028, the market is about to change fast.Ed Porter is joined by Aleksandra Radwańska, Country Lead Poland at Entrix, and Jan Kłoczko at Entrix, to unpack what it takes to optimise batteries in a market scaling this fast.They cover:How two identical batteries in different parts of Poland can earn very different amounts, and why each needs its own scorecard.Why getting a new battery approved to support Poland's grid can take up to two years, while everyone is still learning the rules.How over 2GW of batteries expected by 2028, in a country that peaks at around 25GW, will change the way power is traded in Poland.What battery owners are choosing between: guaranteed-income deals that help secure loans, or betting on the market.Why Poland's single national electricity price is coming under strain as the grid gets more congested.Want to see how battery assets in Poland are performing? Ko, Modo Energy's AI analyst, is built for exactly these questions.

1841 KREMLIN1uropean Paranoia Drives Regional InstabilityGaius and Germanicus: The hosts evaluate growing geopolitical turmoil and institutional anxieties across Western Europe. Gaius notes persistent warnings regarding Russian hybrid warfare targeting Southern European nations, alongside intense border military preparations in Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states. Germanicus attributes this escalating tension to deep paranoia among European ruling elites, who fear losing authority to surging domestic populist movements like Germany's AfD. He highlights provocative actions, such as Estonia considering nuclear deployments and Lithuania preparing mass evacuation plans, as symptoms of strategic desperation. Additionally, Germanicus explains how Europe has exacerbated its own fragility by abandoning affordable Russian natural gas, triggering severe economic hardship and energy vulnerabilities ahead of winter. Gaius warns that accidental military incidents, such as errant missile strikes, could force Russian leaders to escalate conflict. Ultimately, both hosts observe that European leadership remains paralyzed, trapped between strategic dependency and potential Ukrainian collapse. (2)
Today's Headlines: So NATO is preparing for war, aka potential Russian aggression, with Poland and Lithuania developing cross-border civilian evacuation plans for the Baltic states and practice exercises scheduled for next week. Meanwhile, five people were arrested near a UK Royal Air Force base used by the US during the Iran war, on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack after someone spotted three suspicious vehicles heading toward the base after midnight — no names released, no country claimed responsibility, and the US embassy issued a security alert for Americans traveling in the UK. On Iran, Trump rejected Iran's latest peace proposal while claiming negotiations are continuing in New York, which sounds like nothing really. In potential voter suppression news, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 (of course) that the Trump administration can move forward with its centralized voter citizenship verification database using Social Security data — with six weeks until the midterms, the timing is almost certainly the point. The Trump administration is scouting Grand Teton National Park for a baseball stadium because the MLB wants to host a game there, which would require major construction on some of the most protected land in the country. On the scary tech beat, OpenAI and Anthropic are investigating tens of thousands of problematic AI security incidents — not a few rogue hacking episodes, tens of thousands — and ProPublica's investigation found that DraftKings actively recruited a journalist mimicking compulsive gambling behavior into its VIP program after he lost $1,800 in one night chasing losses. And finally, RFK Jr. accepted over $4 million in book advances and $270,000 in gifts during his year as Health Secretary, with his wife separately receiving $210,000 in "consulting fees" from the same MAHA-connected friend, because public health leadership is a great side hustle.

Who was behind the gunman that shot Pope John Paul II in 1981? We know the man who pulled the trigger was a Turkish member of the Grey Wolves. We know he planned to flee via the Bulgarian Embassy. We know an Italian nun ensured he didn't get away. But had someone ordered the assassination? One possible clue is held in the answer to this next question: how did the Soviet Union collapse? We also know three unlikely heroic figures played pivotal roles: a Czechoslovakian playwright, a salt-of-the-earth electrician, and the Polish Pope. Even as the totalitarian Soviet empire cracked down against uprisings in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, the voices of people crying out for democratic freedoms, human rights, and equal opportunity became undeniable. In his latest historical narrative, Julian weaves together powerful stories of three people who risked everything to defy an authoritarian power. They exemplify the playwright's ideal of “living in truth,” the electrician's movement known as “Solidarity,” and John Paul II's advice that his people “be not afraid.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Live from Madrid (Sept 28, 2026) | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 155)Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/sLrPRT7SZaAIf markets are pricing in "no adults in the room" on U.S. debt, mortgage rates are back above 7%, and Iran just got its president a seat at the UN mid-war — does anyone in Washington actually have a plan, or is everyone just improvising in public?Yaron Brook finally makes it to a webcam after a week bouncing between Tbilisi, Florence, and Madrid — and he's not easing back in gently. He opens with the story most people are ignoring: 10-year Treasury yields above 5.2%, 30-year above 5.5%, mortgages back over 7%, and a bond market that's stopped pretending anyone in Washington has a debt plan. Then he tears into Iran's latest fake offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calls out Trump's red-carpet groveling to Xi, and makes the case that NVIDIA and a scrappy biotech startup — not government regulation — are the real answer to AI risk. Starship reached orbit. A Hamas operative got asylum in the UK. And somehow Netanyahu, for all his faults, still looks like the last adult in a room full of European politicians who'd rather cave than govern.Then the audience takes over: CPAs, career advice, zoning fights in your own backyard, whether men are really being "feminized," and why one European capital's mayor just switched parties.

//The Wire//2300Z September 28, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: QUESTIONS REMAIN AS THE EXACT DETAILS AND MOTIVE OF THE INCIDENT AT RAF FAIRFORD REMAIN UNKNOWN. MAJOR DRONE STRIKES REPORTED IN UKRAINE. WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST REMAINS CONSTANT WITH LITTLE PROGRESS MADE ON THE DIPLOMATIC FRONT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Ukraine: Substantial strikes on Kiev have continued over the past few days, with Russian munitions impacting several government facilities within the capital city. The Dobrobut Medical Center was struck this morning, and the main building continued to burn throughout this afternoon. Several gas stations around the city were also hit, along with various governmental agencies and scientific research facilities. In the far western districts of Ukraine, another Russian drone strike was reported in close proximity to a border crossing with Poland, with eyewitnesses at the checkpoint visually observing the impact.Middle East: The situation remains much the same as before, with various rhetoric surrounding diplomatic efforts remaining steady. So far, nothing concrete has emerged from either side regarding whatever indirect talks or messages might be getting conveyed. More tactically, fighting has continued within the Strait of Hormuz, with Iranian forces continuing strikes on merchant convoys attempting to exit the Gulf. Over the weekend, American efforts to get larger convoys through the Strait increased, along with Iranian attempts to strike these ships. Several cruise missile launches were noted by locals, though it is not clear as to if any vessels were struck.United Kingdom: Questions remain following the incident at RAF Fairford, with very little information being conveyed to the public throughout the day. The suspects have not been identified publicly, and the general situation of what took place is not fully clear. Counterterrorism police have stated that the five suspects that were arrested, have been granted bail and released from detention while the investigation continues. Unconfirmed reports also suggest that forensic analysis of the materials found in the vans outside the airbase did not contain explosives, but this has not yet been confirmed via official statements.Furthermore, President Trump made statements this morning implying that this was a real terror attack, though he did not state whether or not he received this information from official British channels or from his inner circle. British authorities have stated that the reason for the discovery of the suspects was due to the actions of a concerned citizen, and that these individuals were not rolled up as part of trigger-based criteria, or an ongoing surveillance effort. This afternoon, other reports from locals emerged claiming that they were warned about the potential for attacks on the base in the days leading up to the incident.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: So far, an intense amount of sheer insanity has hit the timeline regarding the RAF Fairford saga, which is largely the result of the sheer lack of information and the confusing nature of what actually happened. On the one hand, some governmental sources claim that an attack was foiled by the farmer who found the individuals, but other sources claim that intelligence agencies were watching these suspects for some time. Clearly, discrepancies in the official story exist, and an objective approach is still called for to determine what is really happening...because this might not be over just yet.Based on what little evidence is in the public eye, there are a few possible explanations for what happened:Theory 1- A genuine terror attack was foiled by a prepared citizen before it could get underway. Theory 2 - That this was a false-flag attack that was not actually a genuine threat. Theory 3 - A band of diesel thieves got caught transferring fuel between themselves on a back road, and the farmer who caught them immediately thought it was a terror attack. Theory 4 - That RAF Fairford has been expecting a terror attack since being publicly threatened by Iran weeks ago, and a band of fuel thieves being caught this close to the base triggered all counterterrorism responses and caused everyone to jump the gun, while the real threat still remains.As it stands, determining exactly which theory bears more weight is challenging, but as noted this morning, there are a lot of data points that don't make sense if this were a terror attack. Likewise, the "fuel theft" theory might not be correct either, but this theory certainly cannot be dismissed and most of the evidence does support this theory. Also, there is a history of thieves stealing fuel specifically from American bases in Europe, with a major fuel theft ring being busted in Romania five years ago. Similarly, diesel prices today in the U.K. reached a historical record, reaching more than 199.18p/liter (roughly the equivalence of $10 American per gallon). This is merely tangential to the exact incident at Fairford, but it is important to know in a broader sense.The release of the assailants on bail is not really an indicator of much either, as the British government probably would release legitimate terrorists and diesel thieves alike. Another non-helpful detail is the list of charges themselves. All five men were arrested under suspicion of Offenses under the Explosives Act, as well as Section 5 of the Terrorism Act of 2006. Both laws are catch-all legal codes, and the terms by which both laws are applied are extremely broad, so being held (without charge) under these laws is not entirely proof of much without amplifying information.To balance out all factors by examining one detail which does NOT directly support the diesel theft theory, locals report that RAF Fairford was actually at a higher Force Protection (FPCON) level than normal this week. Though the exact timeline is critically important (but not confirmed yet), the base was allegedly at a heightened state of alert before the incident involving the three vans. Daring to go out on a limb to interpret this data point, it's possible that the base was quietly preparing for a terror attack, and some idiots stealing fuel just let the cat out of the bag regarding what the base had secretly being preparing for. It's possible that the base responded to this threat, thinking it was "the one" but in reality it was something unrelated. Two things can be true at the same time; the base could have been expecting a major attack, and jumped the gun on some idiots with fuel cans. The off-the-cuff statements by President Trump also support this eventuality; maybe he thought that this was indeed the attack that had been expected, and jumped the gun himself based on media reports.This leads into the real danger with events like this: If this was not a genuine terror attack, but instead just some rather brazen thieves, any actual terrorist group that's out there just went underground and are hardening their security practices. Due to the internet getting spun up over this incident, real terrorists have learned quite a bit and they also now know just how primed society is for a real attack. Likewise, any activist groups now know that they will get their own bright and shiny news helicopter to photograph their propaganda banners, if they were to try another breach of an RAF facility, like the Palestine Action group has been known to do.At the end of the day, the truth of what actually happened is the only thing that matters, because truth helps us to determine where future risks may lie. If this was a deliberate terror attack, a certain course of action would be indicated. If this was NOT a terror attack, a different course of action would be a better fit, because other terrorists are probably out there waiting. In the early hours after what seems like a major incident like this, no one can be blamed for making decisions out of an abundance of caution. In most cases, it is wise to over-assess the threat during the heat of the moment, and then walk back the assessment to more reasonable ground once the fog of war clears and more information becomes available. In this case, the only thing worse than catching a group of terrorists, is not catching a group of terrorists, who can then learn from the situation and alter their attack plans accordingly. With tensions palpably high throughout the continent, it would make perfect sense for this type of overreaction to take place.The United Kingdom is currently facing many serious disasters. From the importation of millions of people who seek to cause harm, to the aging military infrastructure that has been unable to keep up with modern war in the homeland, the U.K. certainly has problems. Like most western nations at this point, public trust in government is also at an all-time low and the British government specifically has a long track record of covering up incidents like this, which might cast decision makers in a bad light. Whatever the truth is, it will eventually come out one way or another. Clearly, if the US is increasing FPCON levels at overseas bases (levels which have varied over the past few months) a genuine attack is expected. Focusing on idiots stealing fuel could be a distraction from a real attack, which could strike at any time. Constant vigilance is recommended as more generally, the western world has been primed for terror attacks for some time. The hard part is knowing which incidents are genuine, and which events are not what they seem.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Recording from the airport lounge in Krakow, Poland, Nancy McCready continues the conversation on the good and handsome warfare as she prepares to return to the United States after a week of Cross Encounter, ministry, and conversations in Rybnik. Looking again at the warfare of Jesus, Nancy emphasizes that the enemy's goal is separation, while the strength of a maturing son is found in oneness with the Father. Jesus did not allow darkness, accusation, misunderstanding, rejection, or the actions of others to consume His attention. His face remained toward the Father and His eternal intention. Sometimes His warfare was speaking. Sometimes it was silence. But His response always came from fellowship and obedience. As sons mature, warfare becomes less about fascination with darkness and more about faithfully living the life of Christ. We do not have to answer every accusation, prove ourselves right, keep accounts of who appreciated us, or allow another person's flesh to dictate our lives. Our greatest strategy is to remain joined to the Father, discern His will, and freely live in agreement with Him. This Here We Go episode is a call to grow up, remain faithful to what the Father has entrusted to us, and discover the tremendous authority of a life lived in uninterrupted oneness and obedience to Him. Thanks for Listening! Nancy McCready Ministries is committed to building cultures of personal and corporate discipleship so that believers can walk in maturity and their destiny with the Father. We hope this conversation today has helped you along your journey.

Every generation since the turn of the 20th Century has believed the world was ending due to all-out war. This one's no different.Danish intelligence says Russia could attack NATO within months. Drones keep turning up over airbases in Poland. Putin talks peace while calling Ukraine's own defense "state terrorism." It's easy to feel like we're on the brink, so this episode asks whether we actually are, or whether "the end is near" has just always been the loudest voice in the room.We separate what's documented (hybrid sabotage, election interference, drone probing) from what's speculation (an imminent land war, a full NATO invasion), look at why doom-mongering has sold since long before Twitter existed, and work out who benefits from keeping people frightened. Then a proper, honest risk assessment, no scaremongering, no false comfort either.https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiotshttps://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiotshttps://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiotsEditor: Sonika Chandelhttps://www.fiverr.com/sonikachandel05Logo Design: Sarah Cheyhttps://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey
The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan Game Board Earth: Retrograde Energy, Karma's End, Twin Flame Mirrors, and Signs From Beyond Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan of The Metaphysical Hour talk retrograde season, the end of karma, twin-flame mirroring, and signs from loved ones and UFOs, while producer Tiffany relays listener questions and a worldwide roll call of hometowns. Opening Banter and the Missing Chicken Julia Cannon opens The Metaphysical Hour by welcoming co-host Tracie Mahan and their producer Tiffany, whom she calls the show's "question goddess." The two hosts recall the previous week's episode, recorded live at a retreat, where Tiffany appeared on camera despite trying to hide behind her monitor when the computer failed and she had to hold up her phone. Julia then shares a personal story from before the broadcast: one of her backyard chickens, a black hen she calls Blackie, seemed to vanish from her fully enclosed coop. After searching everywhere, Julia goes inside to meditate and receives the realization that she overlooked the roost, the last place the flock settles for the night, where she finds Blackie safe. The lighthearted exchange sets the tone for the evening, with Tracie and Julia teasing each other about being "crazy" and "crazier" before turning to the audience for questions submitted through the chat. Shining Lights and Shifting Energies Tracie Mahan invites listeners to check in with their locations, and Tiffany reads a stream of cities and countries flooding the chat, from San Francisco and Kansas to Poland, Israel, Australia, Scotland, and Tasmania. Julia Cannon frames the roll call as "lighting the grid," reminding listeners that each person is an irreplaceable puzzle piece in what she calls "game board Earth." The conversation shifts to astrology, as Tracie explains that Venus and Mercury are both heading into retrograde in October, a period she associates with forced endings and necessary change. She describes a call from her son who abruptly quit his job the same day, unaware of the astrological shift underway. Julia builds on the idea, urging listeners who feel a persistent nudge toward change to act on their own rather than waiting for the universe to force the issue, since resisting a needed shift only makes the transition harder. Both hosts agree that humans want new outcomes while resisting the very changes required to reach them. How Julia and Tracie First Met Tiffany reads an audience question asking how Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan first met. Tracie tells the story of attending a small lecture in Honolulu featuring Doreen Virtue and Julia's mother, Dolores Cannon, years before she and Julia became close. After the talk, Tracie approached Julia, who was sitting quietly in a pew, but got only short answers; she later realizes Julia was simply shy rather than dismissive. The two do not reconnect until after Dolores passes away, when Tracie invites Julia onto her own podcast, and Julia recalls that Tracie kept saying she felt a "Bat-Signal" prompting her to call. Julia adds that it was actually her late father nudging Tracie to reach out. The pair also recall Dolores's final in-person class, which grew from a planned 100 attendees to 130, drawn from roughly 52 countries, ending in a standing ovation that moved Julia to tears. Julia reflects that her mother never set out to change the world, only to share what she found interesting. Joy, Play, and the Santa Fe Retreat Asked about her favorite moment from the recent Santa Fe retreat, Tracie Mahan says recording The Metaphysical Hour live in front of an audience was a highlight, recalling a moment where a blow-up ball apparently struck someone during the fun. Julia Cannon says she loved bringing playful, lighthearted elements into the retreat, pushing back on the idea that spiritual work must always be treated as heavy or serious. She notes that she and Tracie sometimes face criticism for laughing and having fun on the air, insisting that joy is actually central to the work rather than a distraction from it. Tracie explains the practical reasoning behind the message: people manifest more effectively from a joyful vibration than from stress or lack, so choosing to have fun, spend time with friends, or simply lighten up can shift what a person draws into their life. Julia adds that getting swept up in "serious business" thinking is common but ultimately unnecessary, since remembering who they are matters more than treating every experience with gravity. Karma's End and the Twin Flame Mirror A listener asks whether the "karma cops" are on vacation, prompting Julia Cannon to explain that karma, in the sense of consequences carried across lifetimes, has effectively ended; actions now circle back within the same lifetime, sometimes within days, rather than being deferred to a future incarnation. Tracie Mahan adds that with collective karma largely resolved, people are now turning inward to heal personal wounds rather than working things out through other people. Julia describes outer conflicts as reflections that expose what still needs attention within oneself, noting that the intensity of an emotional reaction points to the size of the underlying issue. Tracie extends the discussion to what she calls twin flame relationships, describing them not as a single destined soulmate but as an intense mirroring dynamic in which two people unconsciously trigger each other's deepest wounds. She advises against confronting a partner about the trigger and instead encourages sitting with the feeling directly, since working through it either strengthens the relationship or allows an easier, drama-free separation. Signs, Sightings, and Trusting What You Cannot See Responding to a question about sensing loved ones across planes, Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan agree that people can feel crossed-over relatives and distant loved ones by tuning into familiar energy and frequency, comparing it to remote energy work. Tracie recommends simply asking for signs such as pennies, feathers, or a favorite song. She then describes watching two unusually bright, motionless lights near the Little Dipper while walking her dogs with her son Josh, who refused to look up until the lights vanished the moment he nearly did. Julia suggests the sighting was meant for Tracie alone. The two also discuss the idea of simultaneous lifetimes using an ocean-and-bucket metaphor for infinite timelines, and Tracie addresses a listener's question about widespread depression by linking it to astrological upheaval and the discomfort of not knowing what lies ahead.

In this episode of The Setting Trick, I sit down with Emma Kolesnik, who just won the Mixed Teams at the 2026 World Bridge Series in Katowice, Poland. She partnered her husband Adam Grossack, and their teammates were prior Mixed champions Sabine Auken and Roy Welland. Emma takes me through their quarterfinal win, decided by a single imp, including a seven imp time penalty. The final was a marquee matchup against Adam's brother Zach.We talk about pressure at the table, paying college students to learn bridge, and how the game turned her younger brother Finn Kolesnik into a close friend. We also get into playing with your spouse, family trips built around the European championships and why her family gave up cooperative games.__________________________________________________Key Highlights⏱ One IMP, After a Penalty: Seven minutes over cost seven imps, so a win by eight became a win by one.

One morning in August 1980, the noise of 10,000 shipyard workers suddenly stopped. Something extraordinary was happening. As a young shipbuilding student, Bogdan finds himself inside Gdańsk's Lenin Shipyard as workers down tools and the movement that will become Solidarity begins to take shape. What follows is a remarkable journey through the final decade of communist Poland. Bogdan recalls student occupation strikes, the shock of martial law, encounters with riot police, and his unconventional escape from military conscription by becoming a teacher. He describes his first intoxicating glimpse of the West in Vienna and West Berlin, where two worlds exist just metres apart across the Berlin Wall. Then, in the summer of 1989, Bogdan and his wife board a flight for Canada with borrowed money, a few possessions and no certainty about what comes next. This is a deeply personal story of resistance, freedom and starting again.

Recording from Rybnik, Poland, Nancy McCready continues the conversation on the good and handsome warfare by looking at the warfare of Jesus Himself. His warfare was not driven by outward pressure, the need to prove Himself, or a constant display of force. Jesus lived and responded from unwavering dependency upon the Father. Drawing from John 14:30–31 and Jesus' journey to the Cross, Nancy explores a powerful rule of engagement: the enemy had nothing in Jesus because the Father had all of Him. Satan could tempt Him but could not turn Him. People could accuse, misunderstand, wound, and oppose Him, but they could not draw Him out of His oneness with the Father. Jesus was free to speak when the Father gave Him words and equally free to remain silent when obedience required silence. This Here We Go episode challenges maturing sons to recognize that true warfare is not about winning every argument, defending ourselves, or reacting to every offense. It is about becoming so governed by the Father that neither opposition nor approval can move us from obedience. Jesus shows us the way: full dependency, precise obedience, and a life completely yielded to the Father. Thanks for Listening! Nancy McCready Ministries is committed to building cultures of personal and corporate discipleship so that believers can walk in maturity and their destiny with the Father.

Farley Yuras, 74, traveled to Poland to have both knees replaced after the wait in Edmonton became unbearable. He and his wife say that because of long delays, Alberta should reimburse people who leave the country for medically necessary surgery. Steven Lewis, an adjunct professor of health policy at UBC, says the wait for elective surgeries in many provinces is “chaos and anarchy,” and needs fixing.

Today's show is packed with political drama, media chaos, and some truly bizarre stories. The Chicks break down Hasan Piker's comments about wanting “Chinese-style communism” inside the Democratic Party and his references to a “Cultural Revolution.” Meanwhile, Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed faces tough questions over Israel, the IRGC, private insurance, and his political positions as Kamala Harris hits the campaign trail with him. Harris recently appeared in Detroit in support of El-Sayed as Democrats seek party unity ahead of the Michigan Senate race. Plus, Trump meets Xi, CNN faces more uncertainty, Javier Milei takes the stage at the UN, and the hosts react to the latest media battles surrounding the White House. Then things get weird with the Boston Globe's lesbian-bar controversy, mask mandates, social-media backlash, clown school, Dave Ramsey memes, and a community mediation meeting that somehow makes the whole story even crazier. Also on the show: Poland pushes ahead with plans for a permanent U.S. military base potentially dubbed “Fort Trump”, Judge Judy talks about America and assimilation, Scott Jennings clashes with a CNN panel, California migrant benefits come under scrutiny, and much more.

Day 1,670.Today, Washington's top diplomat says he has invited Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami later this year, even as Moscow continues its brutal assault on Ukrainian civilians – including on a maternity hospital in the capital overnight. Meanwhile, a fire at a Starlink satellite station in Poland was a deliberate act of sabotage, according to Warsaw, as Denmark warns of the rising threat from Russia. We'll have the latest from the diplomatic wrangling at the UN general assembly, including President Zelensky's attack on the EU for dropping some Russian sanctions.

//The Wire//2300Z September 24, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: STABBING REPORTED AT POLISH MONASTERY. INFRASTRUCTURE ATTACKS CONTINUE IN EUROPE. MAJOR MISSILE STRIKES REPORTED IN KIEV. ENERGY CRISIS CONTINUES AS GAS AND DIESEL PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Ukraine: Major missile strikes were reported in Kiev overnight. Several Iskander missiles struck targets around the city, targeting factories and various production facilities. Additionally, at least four different Zircon hypersonic missile strikes were reported, in addition to the short range ballistic missiles.Poland: Overnight, a sabotage attack was reported at a Starlink communications hub south of Warsaw. Unidentified assailants set a generator on fire, along with a power distribution hub on site. This site is owned and operated by Exatel (the state-owned telecoms company) and functioned as a ground control station for the Polish military's use of Starlink. This attack took place at roughly the same time as the heavy missile strikes in Ukraine and Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski stated that the attack is being treated as an act of sabotage.Also in Poland a stabbing attack was reported this morning at a Benedictine Abbey in the town of Jaroslaw. One assailant attacked two priests on the grounds of the monastery, after stealing a knife from the kitchen. During the fray, a total of three clergy and two laypeople were wounded. One of the Sisters of the abbey stated that Father Stanisław was killed during the attack, and Father Marek remains in critical condition. The assailant was detained at the scene and was not identified by name. However local authorities state that the attacker is a Ukrainian national.Europe: Following the intense targeting campaign between Russia and Ukraine overnight several runaway drones were reported, striking third party nations around the region. This morning a drone struck a wooded area near the border in Romania, and another drone impacted a farmers field in Moldova.Middle East: Yesterday the Pentagon disclosed the death of another soldier related to the current war with Iran. Major Bianca Wilkerson died after suffering a non-combat related medical incident while onboard an aircraft bound for Saudi Arabia.Analyst Comment: It is important to note the process for categorizing wartime casualties has changed somewhat since the start of the war. Operation EPIC FURY officially ended on May 5th. Ever since that date, all casualties have been logged under the general banner of "Overseas Operations", which includes US military casualty figures from all around the world, which are not cataloged under a different operation. As a result, it's challenging to determine exactly how casualties (both deaths and the wounded) are being counted.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Within the United States, the energy situation continues to deteriorate. The national average for gasoline remains around $4.50/gal and diesel has steadily risen to around $6.52/gal. Early this morning the Houthi's announced that they had hit more Saudi infrastructure, which has not yet been confirmed by satellite imagery. Regardless, the report alone was enough to cause crude futures to rise further, back up to around $108/bbl.The White House has not yet announced a decision regarding a potential export ban on diesel, though at the moment most experts (and even Trump himself) are hesitant to implement any export ban, because it might cause more problems than it solves. Either way, a decision will have to be made soon, as diesel prices continue to slowly rise right at peak harvest season and fuel prices for farmers are going to be reflected in the price of food and goods very soon.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//
“The best athlete has short-term memory. After good races you push it away, and after bad races you just forget and move on.”My guest for today's episode is Klaudia Kazimierska — the World Ultimate champion at 1500 meters and one of the biggest breakthrough stories in track and field this year. She is 25 years old, a Nike pro, and trains under coach Jerry Schumacher in Eugene, Oregon. Her past month is the type of season most athletes would dream of.Here is how September went for Klaudia. She broke the Polish national record early in the month at the Silesia Diamond League. Then she went to Brussels and won the Diamond League Final in 3:54.05 — a world lead, a meet record, and a Polish record again all in the same race. Then she came back a week later and won the World Ultimate Championship 1500 meter final. Then she capped her season in London with another victory over Hunter Bell. In those last three races, she earned $275,000 in prize money.In this one, we go back to Poland, where she started running once a week at eleven years old because her dad knew the coach, ran 4:07 at nineteen and thought the Tokyo Olympics were right around the corner, then went backward. In 2021, frustrated and looking for something new, she started the paperwork to transfer to Oregon — a process complicated enough that it took a year. She's made the Olympic and World Championship finals in the last two years, but 2026 was really the breakthrough. Brussels was the first time she put herself in a position to win. Then Budapest was the second.We discuss:– The season that still hasn't fully settled in highlighted by three wins in three weeks — Diamond League final (Brussels), World Ultimate Championships (Budapest), Athlos London. Total prize earnings: approximately $275,000.– Growing up in Poland– Representing Poland at sixteen — and who else was there– The road to the University of Oregon– The language barrier and the fear of not being herself– The training difference — Poland vs. Eugene– The four-year plateau at 4:07– The Paris Olympic final — and why she cried on a day she ran a PB– What nobody knew about the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships– The torn hip labrum that almost ended 2025 before it started– The Tokyo World Championships and the first real glimpse of her kick– Pre-Classic as the tactical lesson that made Brussels possible– Brussels Diamond League Final— the shadow on the home straight: 3:54, the world lead.– Budapest — the gear shift, the last 50 meters, and knowing everyone else was hurting too.– London — finding the inside rail+ What's next____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Like sparkling apple juice and gummy apple rings blending into one, Olipop's Crisp Apple is so tantalizingly sweet and refreshing it makes every day feel like a celebration.

America's complicated relationship with China doesn't lack for subplots – tariffs, territorial designs, human rights and espionage. But does the superpowers' Cold War-like competition over artificial intelligence supersede all other U.S.-Sino concerns? On the eve of the year's second Trump-Xi summit, Hoover fellow Eyck Freymann discusses the state of the superpowers' rivalry and the possibility of a Chinese move on Taiwan in the near future (Freymann being the author of 2026's Defending Taiwan: A Strategy to Prevent War with China, envisions an “all-domain pressure campaign” that slowly strangles the island nation). After that: Sir Niall recounts his recent visit to Kyiv (his fifth time in Ukraine since Russia's invasion) and the odds of Vladimir Putin finding an “off-ramp” after a 55-month war of attrition (or, with his back to the wall, will Russia's leader opt instead for a modern-day “Ludendorff Offensive”?). Finally, the fellows weigh in on the Fed's recent rate increase, President Trump stepping up America's strategic footprints in Greenland and Poland, plus what the 1619 Project's Nikole Hanna-Jones' mea culpa for purposely placing her daughter in a low-performing public school – the daughter now struggling with high-school academics – says about the state of education in America (and showcasing one's offspring in the pages of The New York Times).

Russia's spy services are a bungling clown show that can still kill you anywhere. Here, ex-CIA officer Sean Wiswesser takes us inside Putin's secret war.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1386What We Discuss with Sean Wiswesser:Russian intelligence is a paradox. It's comprised largely of bungling fools who siphon gas from their own surveillance cars and binge-watch The Sopranos, yet they remain formidable adversaries. What makes them dangerous isn't competence but real capability paired with no moral limits and no accountability.Corruption isn't a bug — it's the system. Officers invent sources and pad reports with rewritten news to flatter the boss. That yes-man culture is how Putin was assured Ukraine would be a one-week war, now in its fifth year. A criminalized service takes reckless risks.The most insidious threat isn't assassinations — it's information warfare. What Russia did in 2016 is now amplified thousands-fold by AI, and it targets American youth to erode their faith in democracy itself. The one thing democracy asks of us is an informed public.The West is fighting a hybrid war it won't name, with severed undersea cables, a targeted German CEO, teenagers hired on Telegram for sabotage, and drones over Poland. Deterrence without consequences invites more, and Sean warns the Baltics are likely next after any Ukraine ceasefire.Democracy runs on an informed public, so you are the defense. Slow down, resist reacting to clickbait on emotion, and check sources before you share. And if anyone ever tries to compromise or coerce you, report it — silence is the only leverage they hold.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Today's Headlines: Europe is preparing for war, or so it seems — the official government accounts of France, Germany, the UK, and Switzerland all posted cryptic warnings about imminent conflict, the UK told citizens to stockpile food and water for the "most dangerous period in decades," Germany is preparing hospitals for Russian attacks, and Poland's PM warned Russia could launch disguised drone strikes on NATO countries. Meanwhile, the US, Denmark, and Greenland signed a security agreement at the UN General Assembly giving the US and NATO shared responsibility for Greenland's defense to keep China and Russia out — though the terms are vague and giving Trump any role in Arctic security seems like a gamble. On the war beat — five internal sources say at least 22 service members have died plus three contractors, versus the 18 publicly disclosed — which also affects what survivor benefits families receive. The US military's AI almost started a war with China after an AI intelligence report falsely identified a Chinese ship as carrying nuclear weapons components, and only one official double-checking prevented a strike. An ICE agent shot a Venezuelan DoorDash driver twice in the back during a traffic stop in Austin — he survived but doctors couldn't remove the bullet because ICE was in a hurry to take him into custody — making him one of more than 20 people shot by ICE since Trump took office. Speaking of Trump, he banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House press pool, all three sued, and every other major outlet halted White House coverage in solidarity. Thousands formed a human chain around the Kennedy Center to protest its takeover as over a dozen staff were laid off. Trump fantasized about banning fishing to extort the Bass Pro Shops owner and revealed his DC arch will double as a military complex with snipers, drones, and ammunition storage. And Lauren Boebert is facing an ethics complaint alleging affairs with three staffers and a $200,000 hush payment, which she denied.

President Trump says he's banning three news organizations – CNN, MS NOW and Politico – from the White House. Leaders in France, Poland and across the continent have warned that Russia may about to broaden its war in Europe. The warning comes after what they say is a spate of brazen Russian attacks. The Protect College Sports Act — a bill that promises to bring stability to college sports — is racing to clear some of its final hurdles.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
