In the 8th chapter of Ezekiel, the typical Son of Man, the prophet is taken by way of vision, or literally, to the temple to see the great abominations being practiced. On the north side of the house i.e. the Temple stood a great idol. Worse yet follows when Ezekiel sees women in the temple worshiping Tammuz. In Babylonian mythology the mother god begets the trinity (read Alexander Hyslop's "The Two Babylons"). Worse yet follows when the prophet next is confronted by the High Priest and the 24 orders of the priesthood outside the eastern side of the house worshiping the sun. The vision portrayed in this chapter highlights the depths to which Judah had progressively sunk in its idolatry - originally introduced by Solomon to please his foreign wives. This is an example of what the Apostle Paul speaks of when he says in 1 Corinthians 5 verses "a little leaven leavens the whole lump". In Luke 4 we have the account of Jesus in his hometown of Nazareth. Before this we read of our Lord Jesus Christ returning triumphant from his three-fold temptation in the Judean wilderness. Jesus was, as Hebrews 4 verses 15 tells us, tempted in all points as we are BUT without sin. These three points of temptation are verses 1) the lust of the flesh; 2) the lust of the eyes; and 3) the pride of life (see 1 John 2 verses 15-17). But our Lord overcame by the Word of God (Revelation 19 verses 11-16). All of Jesus' rebuttals of his temptation come from the book of Deuteronomy chapters 6 and 8. Verse 14 tells us that Christ's ministry begins in the power of the spirit of God. This verse and verse 15 cover a period of 4-6 months from has baptism and his first visit during his ministry to Jerusalem described at the end of John 2. To Galilee Jesus goes to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah 9 verses 1-7. On the Sabbath day in Nazareth Christ begins to preach starting with Isaiah 61 and reading the first one and a half verses, finishing with the words "to preach the acceptable year of the LORD". Then our Lord closed the scroll and sat with his announcement that those words were fulfilled that day. On being invited to speak he tells them that they will not accept Jesus. When our Lord Jesus finds opposition to his teaching and says that since no prophet has ever been accepted among his own people. For that reason, our Lord declares, Elijah's and Elisha's missions were with those Gentiles to whom those prophets were sent by God. The citizens of Nazareth then attempt to kill Jesus intending to cast him from the Precipice. But Jesus uses the power of the spirit to pass safely through their midst. It was just as he reveals in John 7 verses 34, "where I am you cannot come". In the synagogue Jesus cures a man with a sick mind. Next, whilst our Lord, is in Capernaum he cures Simon Peter's mother-in-law. Many other cures follow, and our Lord's preaching continues throughout Galilee. If we follow Luke's account other than the few events recorded at the beginning, and the time of his crucifixion, we would think that Jesus didn't go to Judea. The reason for this was, largely, Christ's acceptance in Galilee and his rejection in Judea.

In the record of 2 Kings 18 we are told of Judah's greatest king, Hezekiah - second to none, read and ponder verse 5. His wonderful legacy is described in verses 1-4, and his mother's name given indicating her as having a significant impact on his life - given that his father was wicked Ahaz; we can thank the LORD for his mother. Hezekiah destroys the serpent of bronze from Moses' era, as it had become an idol. King Hezekiah saw how it became an idolatrous snare to Judah, and he calls it "a piece of bronze". God helps Hezekiah in every way and whatever he does prospers. The king of Assyria came upon the land like a flood - sweeping away Israel. Whilst the Assyrian king was engaged in the siege of Lachish (one of the most significant battles of that age - the massacre and depiction can be viewed in the Assyrian room at the British Museum); a large army, under Rab-shakeh, was deployed to attack Jerusalem. Hezekiah had secured the city's water supply by cutting a conduit from a secret source outside the city to the Pool of Siloam. The Assyrian general outlines an impressive list of Assyrian conquests and speaks in Hebrew in order to intimidate those defending the city. Shebna and Eliakim, two of Hezekiah's top officers remain mute for so had king Hezekiah commanded them. In the 8th chapter of Ezekiel, the typical Son of Man, the prophet is taken by way of vision, or literally, to the temple to see the great abominations being practiced. On the north side of the house i.e. the Temple stood a great idol. Worse yet follows when Ezekiel sees women in the temple worshiping Tammuz.

To put this into perspective, US Debt-to-GDP has averaged ~69% over the last 50 years. The CBO projects that the budget deficit will exceed 5% of GDP every year until 2055. In US history, deficits this high have only occurred for 5-straight years one time, during World War II. The US debt crisis is set to get even worse. Worst Revision In History: BLS Admits A Record 911K Fewer Jobs Were Added  Two weeks ago, before both Bloomberg and Reuters, we told our subscribers to "brace for another huge negative payrolls revision"...   BLS reported that as part of its preliminary annual benchmark revisions, a record 911K payrolls for the period April 2024-March 2025 would be revised away     last year's stunning 818K negative revision, which was the second biggest since the global financial crisis (and which we also warned ahead of time was coming), virtually nobody expected this year's number to be higher. It was not only higher, but it was the biggest negative revision on record!  fake jobs numbers that were "created" by the Biden admin, and saddled Trump with relentless negative revisions. Expect 1-2 more months of painful job prints, and then another powerful rally higher into the 2026 midterms under a new BLS commissioner as all of Biden's fake baggage is expunged. Trump was absolutely correct to fire the BLS commissioner one month ago: one year of major negative revisions is happenstance; twice is coincidence; three times is enemy action... and in her case, it was just unexcusable incompetence as the most important economic data point the market uses was dead wrong. There was virtually no domestic job creation in the last year of the Biden admin when one excludes the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who entered the work force. The Fed should have started cutting rates in February, and would have started cutting rates in February if it knew the true sad state of the US labor market. Just as remarkable: 2 million jobs from the last 3 years of the Biden admin have now been revised away.  Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1965430039681663323 Lacalle: The Fed Caused High Inflation And The Current Jobs Slump  Both the recent spike in inflation and the current decline in US jobs are, in a very significant way,

Precipice

Von der persönlichen Tragödie zur Neuerfindung: 2024 wird Indigo de Souzas ganzes Hab und Gut von Hurrikan Helene buchstäblich weggespült. Also zieht die Songwriterin nach Los Angeles um – und schreibt dort ihr bislang poppigstes Album. «Precipice», das vierte Album von De Souza, lernen wir im Verlauf der heutigen Sendung nicht nur kennen, wir verlosen es auch auf Vinyl... und zwar nicht zum letzten Mal! Das Album gibt's bis und mit Freitag ein Mal pro Abend zu gewinnen – nur live in der Sendung.

I'm a huge Indigo De Souza fan, so I had a great time on this episode! We went deep into her songwriting process and discussed, among other things, how moving from western North Carolina to Los Angeles changed her songwriting process, how television plays a role in her writing routine, and what part of the day she's most effective as a writer.De Souza's latest album is Precipice.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Heather “Lucky” Penney talks to Lt. Gen. David Deptula, USAF (Ret.), Charles Galbreath, Todd “Sledge” Harmer, Anthony “Lazer” Lazarski, JV Venable, and Jeff Rowlison about the top defense issues this month in Washington, D.C. and beyond. Our team digs into newly released FY26 budget details. There are some key issues to track for both the Air Force and Space Force. Seeking to retire 340 aircraft, while only procuring 76 is a high-risk strategy. Will Congress buy into it? Putting so much of the Space Force's budget in reconciliation is proving contentious. They also explore comments by DARPA leadership regarding the future of stealth and discuss whether it's smart to kill the E-7. We wrap with an extensive conversation regarding readiness: the numbers are bleak.

As we stand on the precipice of significant global change in 2025, Dolores Cannon's vision of a "New Earth" provides a profound framework for understanding the shifts occurring around us. This podcast episode delves into Cannon's concept of a dimensional and frequency shift, rooted in her interpretations of Revelation 21:1, and explores how this "Old Earth Shift" might be manifesting in today's world. From technological breakthroughs to political transformations and spiritual awakenings, we examine the threads that connect historical figures like Nikola Tesla to modern leaders like President Trump, all within the context of a collective move towards a new reality. Join us as we navigate the tensions and possibilities of this pivotal moment, questioning whether we are indeed witnessing the birth of a new dimensional existence. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode invites you to consider the profound implications of our current global precipice and the vision of a transformed Earth.

The Islamic Republic's regime has been battered in both military and political terms. Is this the moment when Iran implodes -- or frees itself from subjugation? Gregg Roman of the Middle East Forum lays out the competing interests, discusses how organic regime change could happen, and who the players are inside and outside Iran that would need to coalesce to make it happen.

The era of making AI smarter just by making it bigger is ending. But that doesn't mean progress is slowing down — far from it. AI models continue to get much more powerful, just using very different methods, and those underlying technical changes force a big rethink of what coming years will look like.Toby Ord — Oxford philosopher and bestselling author of The Precipice — has been tracking these shifts and mapping out the implications both for governments and our lives.Links to learn more, video, highlights, and full transcript: https://80k.info/to25As he explains, until recently anyone can access the best AI in the world “for less than the price of a can of Coke.” But unfortunately, that's over.What changed? AI companies first made models smarter by throwing a million times as much computing power at them during training, to make them better at predicting the next word. But with high quality data drying up, that approach petered out in 2024.So they pivoted to something radically different: instead of training smarter models, they're giving existing models dramatically more time to think — leading to the rise in “reasoning models” that are at the frontier today.The results are impressive but this extra computing time comes at a cost: OpenAI's o3 reasoning model achieved stunning results on a famous AI test by writing an Encyclopedia Britannica's worth of reasoning to solve individual problems at a cost of over $1,000 per question.This isn't just technical trivia: if this improvement method sticks, it will change much about how the AI revolution plays out, starting with the fact that we can expect the rich and powerful to get access to the best AI models well before the rest of us.Toby and host Rob discuss the implications of all that, plus the return of reinforcement learning (and resulting increase in deception), and Toby's commitment to clarifying the misleading graphs coming out of AI companies — to separate the snake oil and fads from the reality of what's likely a "transformative moment in human history."Recorded on May 23, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Toby Ord is back — for a 4th time!

The world is entering a new nuclear age—one defined by proliferating arsenals, eroding arms control, and rising geopolitical tensions. In this episode, Isaac Kardon sits down with international security expert and Stanton Senior Fellow Ankit Panda to discuss the return of nuclear weapons to the center of global strategy. As Russia issues nuclear threats, China and North Korea expand their capabilities, and emerging technologies like AI reshape the battlefield, the risks of confrontation are growing. Can new approaches to stability and deterrence pull us back from the brink?

Putin admits that terrorists are running the country and he will have to hit Ukraine. This will set the stage to remove all terrorists from Ukraine. Trump is now setting the stage via the autopen, he is showing the public that those people that used the autopen were trying to save themselves and coverup their crimes. The coverup always gets you in the end.   Economy https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/1929901165074100709 TAKE A LISTEN (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");   Federal Judge Completely Dismisses Governor Newsom's Lawsuit Over President Trump's Tariffs A federal judge completely dismissed California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom's lawsuit over President Trump's tariffs.

Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill is the best chance in a generation to pass critical reforms for which Americans voted:   https://twitter.com/StephenM/status/1930242667025195048  to CBO, the bill cuts spending over $1.6 trillion. So when a libertarian (eg Rand) attacks the “deficit” impact of the bill they are attacking the tax cut. Of course, honestly accounted, extending current tax rates has zero deficit impact which is why the bill, because of its spending cuts, reduces the deficit. A second major point of confusion is what's actually in a reconciliation bill. It is not an appropriations bill, or a general budget bill. It provides no funding or authorization for 99%+ of the operations of government. It was written not by appropriators but some of the most conservative members of the House. It has not a single Democrat provision or vote.

The new solo play “Precipice” was conceived by actor and self-described “memory activist” Damaris Webb. It’s part of the offerings of the Vanport Mosaic Festival she co-founded 10 years ago. The play, like the festival itself, centers on remembering and reclaiming history and telling the stories of people who have been marginalized or forgotten. We talk with Webb and playwright Chris Gonzalez about this new work and what they hope audiences take from it.

According to Bloomberg, the group of 12 major oil-exporting nations, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and others, is considering a July increase of 411,000 barrels per day (bpd)—roughly triple the previously planned amount. This would mirror supply increases in May and June. Such an increase in July could lead to a breakdown in Brent crude's $60-per-barrel price floor (as long as the war risk premium remains suppressed). Brent fell to $63 a barrel, down about 1.7% following the news. West Texas Intermediate dropped to around $60 a barrel.  Source: zerohedge.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");   Privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could allow them to operate as fully independent entities, potentially increasing their market value ,their strong cash flows could attract investors, boosting stock prices and creating value for shareholders.  Currently under conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), privatization would reduce the government's direct financial exposure to the mortgage market.

Over time, this show has become more than interviews—it's become a mirror. In this episode, Jay offers a quiet reflection born from years of sitting with brave, vulnerable humans who were willing to speak their truth.There is no guest today, but their presence is felt in every moment. Each clip and insight shared here was evoked through those conversations, shaped by the energy in the room, the story being told, and the resonance that followed. This is not a solo episode in the truest sense — it's a continuation of the dialogue, spoken in stillness.“I've been told there's wisdom in these words. If that's true, it came from you all of you. I'm just the one who said it out loud.”Jay ends the episode with quiet gratitude and the promise of more solo episodes to come, not to lecture, but to reflect. Not to lead, but to honor what's already been offered.Key Takeaways

April 30, 2025 - Join us for a conversation with Ankit Panda, Stanton Senior Fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, on his newly published book: The New Nuclear Age: At the Precipice of Armageddon. The book describes how “nuclear weapons are returning to the fore of international statecraft in ways unseen since the Cold War… The prospect of nuclear escalation is again shaping how political decision-makers and military establishments around the world think and act.” The book includes a passage on North Korea's rapidly advancing nuclear program, the subject of Panda's first book, and the debate over South Korea acquiring an indigenous deterrent. This program is moderated by Korea Society policy director Jonathan Corrado. This program is produced in collaboration with Temple University Japan and made possible by the generous support of our individual and corporate members and the Korea Foundation.   For more information, please visit the link below: https://www.koreasociety.org/policy-and-corporate-programs/item/1969-the-new-nuclear-age-at-the-precipice-of-armageddon-with-ankit-panda

Ankit Panda's new book delivers a stark message: we've entered a new nuclear age. This one is shaped by rising U.S.–Russia tensions, China's emergence as a major nuclear power, and a wave of tech breakthroughs — including AI — that are transforming the nuclear landscape. The result? A world where nuclear security is more complicated, and more dangerous, than ever. In The New Nuclear Age: At the Precipice of Armageddon, Panda breaks down the key trends driving this shift. In our conversation, he explains why this moment is so perilous — and how we might avoid stumbling into a new nuclear war. We recorded this live at the Carnegie International Nuclear Policy Conference. More conversations are coming soon. 

We're headed to Vermont where public schools are confronting a ‘perfect storm' of challenges. Costs are rising in this largely rural state even as the student population is declining, fueling a taxpayer revolt. Meanwhile, thanks to a recent SCOTUS ruling, a tradition of funding private schools with public funds means that Vermont must now pay for religious education. Enter the state's Republican governor with a bold plan to do education in Vermont completely differently. Will public education in the Green Mountain State survive? And how long before schools in your state face a similar precipice? The financial support of listeners like you keeps this podcast going.
