Almost everyone in Los Angeles hopes that one day they'll receive an invitation on their doorstep inviting them to one of Al Sekel's parties. In order to attend, he always provides a vague caveat like, ‘bring the most interesting person you know.' Fulfill it and the host himself will likely usher you inside his mansion, give you the tour, and show you a giant painting that seems to be…moving? Later on, someone at the party might clue you in, ‘He's the world's greatest collector of optical illusions. He likes them because they violate expectations.' Al Sekel is known as a harmless, artsy oddball who just happens to be Ghislaine Maxwell's brother in law, until the most recent release of Epstein's emails. An email from Sekel to Epstein in 2010 reads in short, ‘Now the headlines do not mention convicted sex offender or pedophile…Your wiki entry now is pretty tame and bad stuff has been muted…We hacked the site to replace the mug shot and caption.' According to the email, Sekel helped Epstein clean up his online image. To Sekel, the damage control is likely just another optical illusion. However, we'll never truly know why because soon after those emails, Al Sekel goes missing. Weeks pass and authorities find his body at the bottom of an 100 ft cliff in France. One of his hands and one of his feet is nowhere to be found. Yet, authorities say he died by s*icide. But how many s*icides connected to one case is too many?    Demand Justice for Epstein Survivors: https://www.change.org/EpsteinSurvivors    Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As I am recording this podcast, we have just passed the 7th anniversary of the attack and forced closure of Early Rain Church in Chengdu, China, and the arrest of Pastor Wang Yi, on December 9th, 2018.

Early Rain Attack Updates Last week I read the Wang Yi family newsletter that was published just 12 days before his arrest on Dec 9, 2018. This week I will be sharing a handful of updates that were put out by unnamed Early Rain Church members in the immediate aftermath of the attack and arrest of the pastor and most of the leadership. As the writer mentions in one of the updates, there was no guarantee that the next update would ever come. Arrests were ongoing at the original time of publishing. I tried (unsuccessfully) to just read these powerful proclamations, only pausing to comment when absolutely necessary. On my Substack (ChinaCompass.substack.com) you will find the written version today’s podcast: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/early-rain-forcibly-closed-pastor Last but not least, when mentioning this week’s special resource, The Memoirs of William Milne (PrayGiveGo.us), I shared how after 200+ years of missions in China things have come full circle.

Fifty years into the era of mass incarceration, states like Arkansas, Montana, California, and Colorado are pushing to build new prisons and expand immigrant detention. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa talks with Nicole Porter of The Sentencing Project about how federal and state governments are doubling down on new prison construction and ICE contracts to expand the prison-industrial complex, what sets the US criminal justice system apart from other countries around the world, and how organizers are fighting for real prison population reductions instead of more cages.Guest:Nicole D. Porter, named a “New Civil Rights Leader” by Essence Magazine for her work to challenge mass incarceration, manages The Sentencing Project's state and local advocacy efforts on sentencing reform, voting rights, and confronting racial disparities in the criminal legal system. Since joining The Sentencing Project in 2009, Porter's advocacy and findings have supported criminal legal reforms in several states including Kentucky, Maryland Missouri, California, Texas and the District of Columbia. Porter's areas of expertise include research and grassroots support around challenging racial disparities, felony disenfranchisement, in addition to prison closures and prison reuse. Her research has been cited in several major media outlets including Salon and the Washington Post, and she has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, and on National Public Radio and MSNBC.Additional links/info:The Sentencing Project website, Facebook page, and InstagramLisa Armstrong, Essence, “The new Civil Rights leaders”Credits:Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

In the wake of Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody, the Bureau of Prisons promised sweeping reforms aimed at preventing another such failure. Those commitments included stricter adherence to suicide-watch protocols, improved staffing and supervision at facilities like the Metropolitan Correctional Center, greater accountability for guard misconduct, and clearer lines of responsibility when inmates are designated as high-risk. Investigations by the DOJ Inspector General laid out glaring institutional failures, from falsified records to exhausted, improperly trained staff working massive overtime. Publicly, the BOP and the Justice Department framed Epstein's death as a catalyst for overdue reform, assuring lawmakers and the public that meaningful structural changes were underway to restore trust in a system that had catastrophically failed a high-profile detainee.Years later, those promised reforms remain largely unrealized. Chronic understaffing persists across the federal prison system, with suicide prevention protocols still inconsistently applied and accountability for leadership failures remaining minimal. High-level officials largely avoided serious consequences, while the same institutional culture that allowed Epstein's detention to be mishandled continues to define the BOP's operations. Congressional oversight has produced reports and hearings, but little in the way of durable reform, leaving the system vulnerable to the same breakdowns exposed in 2019. The result is a grim reality: Epstein's death became less a turning point for reform than a case study in how federal institutions absorb scandal, issue promises, and then quietly revert to business as usual.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

BESSENT: “To be clear, the initial fraud was discovered by the IRS, for which I'm the acting commissioner, it was discovered by IRS criminal investigations unit.” “This was not endogenous that the state of Minnesota decided. We had to go in and clean up the mess for them. This is part of the continued cleanup.” “A lot of money has been transferred from the individuals who committed this fraud, including those who donated to the governor, donated to representative Omar and to AG Ellison.” “They have been transferred to something called MBSs.” “They are wire transfer organizations that are outside the regulated banking system. That money has gone overseas. We are tracking that, both to the Middle East and Somalia to see what the uses of that have been.” BRENNAN: “You have no evidence of that money being used to fuel terrorism at this point? Which is what some conservative writers are alleging.” BESSENT: “That's why it's an investigation. We started it last week. We will see where it goes.” “I can tell you, it's terrible.

Basically, the EU said: stop booting people out before hearing their appeals. Hungary said no thanks. So now Brussels is punishing Hungary for not letting in enough migrants, mostly from Africa and the Middle East, while the rest of the continent watches. The European Court says it’s about “human rights.” Hungary says it’s about borders. You don't have to agree with Hungary to notice what's going on. A country makes a decision, the EU doesn't like it, and suddenly unelected judges are draining your national budget.

If it does not, it is legally considered a stateless vessel. A stateless vessel has no right to the protections normally afforded to ships under a national flag, including immunity from interference by other states. UNCLOS Articles 92, 94, 110, and customary maritime law spell out the consequences clearly: 1. Stateless vessels have no sovereign protection. A flagged ship is an extension of its flag-state's sovereignty. A stateless vessel is not. This matters because “war crimes” presuppose protected persons or protected property. A stateless vessel is legally unprotected. 2. Any state may stop, board, search, seize, or disable, a stateless vessel. UNCLOS Article 110 explicitly authorizes boarding and seizure. The law does not require states to risk their own personnel or assets while doing so. Disabling a vessel that refuses inspection, including firing on it, is legally permitted under both UNCLOS and long-established state practice. 3. War crimes require an armed conflict. You cannot commit a “war crime” outside an armed conflict. War crimes occur only within the context of international humanitarian law (IHL). Enforcing maritime law against a stateless vessel is a law enforcement action, not an IHL situation. No armed conflict = no war crime possible. 4. Lethal force may be used when a vessel refuses lawful orders. The International Maritime Organization's “Use of Force” guidance for maritime interdiction recognizes that disabling fire, even lethal force, is lawful when a vessel refuses lawful boarding, attempts to flee, poses a threat, or engages in illicit activities such as piracy or narcotics trafficking. Once again: law enforcement rules apply, not IHL. 5. Sinking a stateless vessel is not prohibited by UNCLOS. UNCLOS permits seizure of a stateless vessel and leaves the means entirely to the enforcing state so long as necessity and proportionality are respected. If the vessel flees, attacks, or refuses lawful commands, sinking it is legally permissible. Many states routinely do this to drug-smuggling vessels (e.g., semi-submersibles) without it ever being treated as a war crime. 6. No flag = no jurisdictional shield. The entire reason international law requires ships to fly a flag is to prevent this exact situation. Flagless vessels are legally vulnerable by design. Because a stateless vessel has no protected status, because UNCLOS authorizes interdiction of such vessels, because lethal force may be used in maritime law enforcement when necessary, and because war crimes require an armed conflict that is not present here, sinking an unflagged ship in international waters is not a war crime.

Reuters in its exclusive Friday report said that the United States “wants Europe to take over the majority of NATO’s conventional defense capabilities, from intelligence to missiles, by 2027, Pentagon officials told diplomats in Washington this week, a tight deadline that struck some European officials as unrealistic.” “The message, recounted by five sources familiar with the discussion, including a U.S. official, was conveyed at a meeting in Washington this week of Pentagon staff overseeing NATO policy and several European delegations,” the report continued. The directive was coupled with a warning behind the scenes, reportedly involving Pentagon officials cautioning representatives from several European nations that the US may scale back its role in certain NATO defense efforts if this target and deadline is not met.It was noted in the report that some European officials consider the 2027 goal unrealistic, saying that rapidly substituting American military support would demand far greater investment than current plans and NATO member approved defense budgets allow.

When the Democrats overwhelmingly lost the 2024 Presidential Election, and power with it, they, regardless, did everything they could to keep going after the Cuellar family. The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY! He was against illegals pouring into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted. The Congressman didn't want gang members, drug dealers, violent prisoners, people from mental institutions and yes, even murderers, in the good ol' USA. It was all very unfair what they were doing to him and his family, so much so that his daughters wrote me a beautiful letter about their parents (Just posted on TRUTH!). After reading it I decided, in the interest of justice, and based on the daughter's loving request, that I would give Henry and Imelda a Full and Complete Pardon. I never spoke to the Congressman, his wife, or his daughters, but felt very good about fighting for a family that was tormented by very sick and deranged people – They were treated sooo BADLY! I signed the papers, and said to people in the Oval Office that I just did a very good, perhaps life saving, thing. God was very happy with me that day! THEN IT HAPPENED!!! Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be “running” for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same Radical Left Scum that just weeks before wanted him and his wife to spend the rest of their lives in Prison – And probably still do! Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry's daughters, will not like. Oh' well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP    Trump hating, 60 Minutes “correspondent,” Lesley Stahl, who still owes me an apology from when she attacked me on the show (with serious conviction!), that Hunter Biden's LAPTOP FROM HELL was produced by Russia, not Hunter himself (TOTALLY PROVEN WRONG!), interviewed a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements. My real problem with the show, however, wasn't the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME! Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE! Oh well, far worse things can happen. P.S. I hereby demand a complete and total APOLOGY, though far too late to be meaningful, from Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes for her incorrect and Libelous statements about Hunter's Laptop!!!

Just beyond infuriating. STUNNING UPDATE: Jocelyn Ballantine – the Lead Attorney Assigned to J6 Pipe Bomber Case – Notoriously Pressured the Proud Boys to Lie About Trump's Involvement in Jan. 6 or Face Decades in Prison!    Jocelyn Ballantine was one of the Department of Justice attorneys assigned to Michael Flynn's prosecution. The Department admitted altering evidence in the case following a reprimand from the judge. She called this an inadvertent mistake at the time. Ballantine also provided altered documents to Sidney Powell, and submitted an FBI interview report with redactions to information that was crucial to the case, according to En-Wikipedia.  When the US government threw out the case against  General Flynn, Ballantine declined to sign the motion to dismiss the charges against him. She is as crooked as they come. Jocelyn Ballantine was later assigned to the infamous Proud Boys Trial. Ballantine and the Biden prosecutors made up evidence, pressured the defendants to lie to the court, planted evidence in the Proud Boys chat group, and led the charge to send the innocent men to prison for over a decade each.   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/1997495783168299481?s=20   a grand jury process, and we are issuing – I think we are up to like 75 of 100 subpoenas already – for witnesses.

Before convicts were shipped to Australia, they rotted aboard decommissioned warships anchored in the Thames — floating dungeons so brutal that a condemned man called them "a college of villainy" where every prisoner graduated "a master of arts in scoundrelism."IN THIS EPISODE: It was in 1975 when the first skull of what was believed to be Bigfoot was found. But the owner of the skull hadn't been dead too long, for the local people said they remembered the creature before it died. And even more shocking – they personally knew some of its descendants – a cross-breeding of Bigfoot and human beings!

In this episode Natalie Queiroz, MBE joins Laura for an important and emotional update.  Natalie shares the latest development in her case - that Raja's open-prison status has been revoked -for now- and they dive deep into the tireless campaign Laura and Natalie are working on to stop domestic abusers and stalkers from being eligible for early open-prison transfer. The change in Raja's status is a critical step forward, but as Natalie and Laura discuss, the relief is short-lived. The system's lack of clarity, inconsistent assessments, and ongoing failures leave victims trapped in cycles of anxiety, retraumatisation, and fear. Together, they explore the emotional and psychological toll of a system that overlooks intent to murder, and the continued danger of coercive controllers, why domestic abusers, coercive controllers and stalkers must be exempt from early open-prison transfer, along with the urgent need for specialised training for offender managers and probation officers and  implications for victims' safety, justice, and reform. Please take action:Listen, share, and amplify, and write to Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and call for domestic abusers and stalkers to be excluded from early transfer to open prison. Your voice matters -together, we can drive change and save lives. Trigger warning: This is a tough listen but an important one. It could save your life.   #CrimeAnalyst #Femicide #Murder #AttemptedMurder #TrueCrime #Podcast #NatalieQueiroz #Investigation #WestMidlandsPolice #Behaviour #Risk #EarlyWarningSigns #CoerciveControl #Control #manipulation #Psychopath #BaburRaja #Prison #Release Clip   https://x.com/AndrewmitchMP/status/1988674796918567415  Thank You to Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

Tonya Higdon grew up in a good family, but childhood trauma pushed her into years of addiction involving nearly every drug you can imagine. She became a young mother while struggling to stay clean, bounced in and out of trouble, and eventually went on the run after multiple arrests for driving without a license. When she was finally caught, Tonya was sentenced to three years in the Florida state prison system—where she formed a long-term relationship with another woman that lasted her entire sentence. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Tonya shares her full story: her upbringing, addiction, life on the run, surviving prison, the realities of having a prison girlfriend, and how she worked to rebuild her life afterward. This conversation offers an honest look at trauma, recovery, and resilience for anyone interested in real-life stories, addiction journeys, and the truth about life behind bars. #PrisonStory #PrisonLife #LockedInWithIanBick #InmateStories #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonRelationships #RedemptionStory #prisonexperience Thank you to AURA FRAMES & DAWS for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

Adria Sheri English, a former go-go dancer, has made serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming that she was forced to participate in sexual activities at his infamous "freak-off" parties. English, who has filed a lawsuit against Diddy, also revealed a list of high-profile celebrities she saw at these gatherings. Among the notable figures she claims were present are Donald Trump, Diana Ross (with her underage son Evan), Paris Hilton, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, and Reverend Al Sharpton. English expressed surprise at seeing some of these individuals, particularly Reverend Al Sharpton, at such controversial events.English alleges that while these celebrities attended the main parties, the "freak-offs" took place in secluded rooms away from the main events, suggesting that many of the partygoers may not have been aware of the more sinister activities happening behind closed doors. English also claimed that Diddy secretly recorded these encounters for potential blackmail purposes, further complicating the accusations against him.Courtney Burgess, a witness in the federal investigation against Sean "Diddy" Combs, testified before a grand jury that he possesses 11 flash drives containing sex tapes allegedly involving Combs and eight celebrities, including two to three minors. Burgess claimed these tapes were provided to him by Combs' ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter, before her death in 2018. He described the individuals in the tapes as appearing inebriated and suggested they were victims of Combs' actions..Additionally, Burgess stated that he has seen an unedited version of a memoir written by Porter, which contains detailed accounts of Combs' alleged physical and sexual violence. He mentioned that he was contacted by agents from the Department of Homeland Security and later subpoenaed by a federal grand jury to provide all relevant electronic devices. Burgess's testimony adds to the mounting allegations against Combs, who is currently facing charges including sex trafficking and racketeering.Also...During a recent interagency operation at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, authorities seized drugs, homemade weapons, and electronic devices. The operation, involving the Bureau of Prisons, the Justice Department's inspector general, and other law enforcement agencies, aimed to address safety and security concerns within the facility. Officials stated that the sweep was part of a broader initiative and not in response to any specific threat or individual, including current detainee Sean "Diddy" Combs.The raid calls into question the point of the OIG report into Jeffrey Epstein's death, considering how many of the same issues are still present, even after the BOP was made aware of the issues.  to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Now, it's a new story from Uncuffed, our podcast that empowers people in prison to tell their own stories. This one comes to us from the California Institution for Women. This is a piece that was scheduled to air a few weeks ago, but it was only after our show was broadcast that we realized we had aired the wrong story. So today we bring this piece from Uncuffed producer Haena Worthing.When she was first incarcerated, in the county jail, she realized she would no longer have access to most of what she called "pretty girl things” -  like makeup and nail polish. But her experience with incarceration changed how she thinks about beauty.

Sponsored by EasyDNS https://easydns.com/NotOnRecord In Episode 193 of Not On Record, the team dives deep into the controversial resurfaced clips of popular Twitch IRL streamer Nina Lin (2–3M followers), where she and another female streamer engage in highly sexualized “pranks” on male colleagues and strangers—including twerking on an unwilling assistant and slapping a man's buttocks during a massage—sparking accusations of sexual assault. The hosts explore the glaring double standard: why a male streamer doing the exact same thing would be instantly canceled, de-platformed, and possibly charged, while Nina received only short bans and mocked the backlash. A raw, unfiltered conversation about consent, weaponized allegations, male victims, puritanical overreach, and whether “just a prank” content has finally crossed the line in 2025's hyper-sensitive climate.

Tom Green gained notoriety for appearing on television with his plural family, which led to Utah prosecuting him after discovering one wife was “very underage,” resulting in his conviction for child polygamy and welfare fraud, or child rape according to one account, and a prison sentence https://youtu.be/KkQlU3KVllM Don't miss our other conversations with Jacob: https://gospeltangents.com/people/jacob-vidrine Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Tom Green: Polygamy, Prison, & Quest for Community Tom Green, a controversial figure in Mormon fundamentalism, was a key claimant to the succession of Ross LeBaron, leader of the Church of the Firstborn. Green stuck with LeBaron until his death in 1996. On his deathbed, LeBaron reportedly did not name a clear successor but charged both Tom Green and Jerry Barlow to carry on his work. Green leveraged this instruction, claiming he had received higher temple ordinances from Ross, thereby being “anointed and appointed”. Green briefly formed a group spanning the late 1990s into the early 2000s, attempting to unite Ross's followers under his leadership. Green achieved notoriety by making numerous radio and television appearances about polygamy, frequently showcasing his plural family. Tom Green’s Prison Sentence However, his public profile led to his downfall when it was discovered that one of his wives was underage. The state of Utah prosecuted him for child polygamy and welfare fraud, seemingly intending to “make an example of him,” particularly because of his media exposure. Green was convicted in 2002 of child rape and served a prison sentence, which lasted five years. He was released on parole on August 7, 2007. After his incarceration, his group largely fell apart. Attempts at Succession Tom Green sought community, particularly as his children grew and needed partners for marriage. He decided to join the Kingston Group, viewing them as a successful example of a united order and plural marriage, noting their economic success in business despite negative press. He maintained, however, that he never recanted the authority he had received from Ross LeBaron. Green remained on parole for at least 14 years before dying from COVID-19 at age 72 on February 28, 2021. Green represents one of several factions that emerged after LeBaron's death, alongside the independents and the group led by Fred Collier. LeBaron’s mission centered on ordaining patriarchs and establishing a patriarchal pattern, an effort that continues today through independent groups and men who trace their authority back to Ross and Tom Green. Fred Collier, another key figure who worked closely with Ross (the religious innovator) as the one who “wrote it up” and added stability through systematization, also claimed succession after separating from Ross in 1983. Tom was one of the best known polygamists in the early 2000’s due to his quest for publicity. It is likely the reason that other fundamentalists avoid publicity, as they see that it often brings more trouble than it is worth.

Reid Carter concludes the Jeffrey Dahmer special with the trial that captivated America. January 1992: Dahmer pleaded guilty but insane to 15 murders.

Discuté depuis 2021, le projet danois de location de places de prison au Kosovo pour y envoyer des criminels condamnés, originaires de pays non membres de l'Union européenne, prend petit à petit forme. Contre 200 millions d'euros, l'un des pays les plus riches d'Europe veut envoyer 300 prisonniers vers l'un des plus pauvres. Le Danemark, qui avait soutenu l'intervention de l'Otan en 1999 et l'indépendance du Kosovo, voit dans ce projet une coopération gagnant-gagnant. Mais sur place, le sujet divise. Surtout que ce genre de projets se multiplient dans des pays des Balkans, toujours tenus à la porte de l'UE. De notre correspondant à Gjilan dans le sud du Kosovo, La route goudronnée s'arrête à quelques dizaines de mètres des miradors. Perchée sur une colline sans arbres, juste au-dessus d'un village et de sa mosquée, la prison de Gjilan surplombe la deuxième ville du Kosovo. Une fois passé les portiques et les grilles de sécurité, le bruit des clés des gardiens résonne dans des couloirs particulièrement propres. Selon l'accord ratifié en 2024 à une large majorité par le Parlement, les prisonniers kosovars qui font aujourd'hui les 100 pas dans la prison de Gjilan devraient laisser la place à des détenus condamnés par la justice danoise, à 2 000 kilomètres du Kosovo. À lire aussiDanemark: premier accord pour envoyer 300 détenus dans une prison du Kosovo « C'est un mauvais accord » « Ces transferts de prisonniers ne concerneront pas les personnes condamnées pour extrémisme, extrémisme religieux ou terrorisme. Ce seront principalement des personnes condamnées à des peines de 5 à 10 ans de prison et originaires de pays tiers. On espère que cette collaboration sera un succès et un modèle pour d'autres pays », précise Ismaïl Dibrani, directeur général du système pénitentiaire du Kosovo. Les premiers détenus en provenance de Copenhague ne sont annoncés que pour avril 2027. Mais déjà, de nombreux pays comme la France ou la Belgique auraient demandé à pouvoir eux aussi louer des places de prison au Kosovo. À quelques kilomètres de la prison, le projet danois n'anime pas vraiment les conversations du centre piéton de Gjilan. Zarife Asllani en veut au gouvernement kosovar d'avoir signé un tel accord. Pour cette psychologue sociale de 38 ans, « c'est un mauvais accord. Nous ne sommes pas contre ces prisonniers. Mais ces 200 millions d'euros, cela aurait été mieux de les investir autrement au Kosovo ». À lire aussiEnvoyer ses détenus dans des prisons étrangères: une idée en vogue en Scandinavie Un geste de reconnaissance envers les États-Unis Comme plusieurs pays membres de l'Otan, le Danemark a soutenu l'indépendance et la construction du nouvel État kosovar. Les autorités de Pristina présentent cet accord comme un moyen de rembourser une dette historique et de conforter ses soutiens diplomatiques. Originaire de Gjilan, l'activiste Donika Emini dénonce une dérive honteuse. « Ces accords transforment les Balkans en dépotoir des pays riches, qui font ici ce qu'ils ne peuvent pas faire chez eux. C'est vraiment très problématique et hypocrite. Par exemple, dans le cas du Danemark, qui est un pays qui est toujours au sommet des classements internationaux pour son respect des droits humains. » À la demande de Washington, le Premier ministre kosovar, Albin Kurti, a également accepté d'accueillir 50 ressortissants latino-américains expulsés des États-Unis. Un geste de reconnaissance éternelle envers le principal soutien du Kosovo, mais qui n'a pour l'instant pas dépassé l'effet d'annonce.

Bryan Kohberger spent years studying how violent offenders think, act, and survive behind bars. He researched criminal minds, rigid behavior patterns, and psychological survival strategies. And yet now, just months into four consecutive life sentences, the reporting coming out of the Idaho Maximum Security Institution paints a very different picture — not of a mastermind adapting to prison life, but of a man unraveling under the weight of basic reality. Tonight, we break down the flood of grievances, appeals, and handwritten complaints Kohberger has reportedly fired off since arriving on J-Block — one of the most controlled, restrictive tiers in the entire facility. From claims of minute-by-minute verbal threats, to disputes over vegan meal trays, to frustration with the JPay system, to repeated attempts to transfer to a quieter housing unit, Kohberger appears to be hitting every pressure point of incarceration without understanding the culture of the world he now lives in. We also look at what former detectives, prison consultants, and correctional insiders are saying about his behavior — why they believe he's making himself more of a target, why the inmates are taunting him through the vents around the clock, why his reactions are being described as “a jailhouse Karen,” and what this tells us about the psychology that drove him before the murders. And yes — we talk about the now-verified leaked prison footage posted online by a former corrections officer. The Idaho Department of Correction confirmed the video is real. That officer is gone. But the consequences of that leak, and the environment Kohberger sits in right now, are far from over. This episode is also a reminder of the four young lives lost: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Four futures taken. Four families forever changed. And a man who now sits in isolation filing complaints about bananas while serving the rest of his natural life. Hidden Killers goes deep into the reporting, the psychology, and the cracks forming inside Kohberger's carefully constructed persona.

Two days ago, Trump unleashed the ugliest, most bigoted stuff about brown and black immigrants. About Somalian-Americans. And his entire cabinet just sat there and nodded. Yesterday, he unleashed even uglier stuff about Somalian-Americans. And the Congress people and business executives just stood there and nodded. Silence is complicity. The entire Republican Party owns his racism, bigotry, and cruelty. So every election for the foreseeable future must be about him. Period. Hosted on Acast.

What happens when your worst fear becomes your reality… and somehow becomes the launchpad for a popcorn empire?In this powerful episode of Nightmare Success In and Out, Brent Cassity sits down with Emily O'Brien, founder of Comeback Snacks, to unpack how a honors grad from Canada went from international development and corporate sales… to being groomed by a boyfriend, caught smuggling cocaine back from St. Lucia, and sentenced to four years in a Canadian prison.Emily shares the raw details of how quickly life can spin out of control, what it was like to be arrested at the airport, face her family in shackles, and navigate the Canadian prison system. She opens up about addiction, bad decisions, shame, and the brutal uncertainty of house arrest and sentencing.But this isn't just a story about a fall — it's about a comeback. Inside prison, Emily started experimenting with popcorn recipes, listening to other women's stories, and dreaming up a brand that would stand for second chances. That prison-born idea became Comeback Snacks — a popcorn company that now sells in over 1,200 retail stores, hires formerly incarcerated people, and uses bold flavors to spark conversations about redemption and prison reform.From building a business out of a halfway house kitchen to speaking on stages, producing documentaries, and becoming a voice for fair-chance hiring, Emily proves that mistakes are universal — and so are comebacks. If you've ever wondered whether your worst decisions have to define you, this episode will hit home.Listen in as Brent and Emily talk prison, purpose, entrepreneurship, Comeback Snacks, and what it really takes to rebuild your life after a conviction.Show sponsors: Navigating the challenges of white-collar crime?

What does it take to turn a life of chaos into one of purpose and impact? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Andre Norman, author, speaker, and transformational leader whose journey from maximum-security prison to Harvard University is nothing short of extraordinary. Andre opens up about the pivotal moments that changed his trajectory, from leading a prison gang to realizing he was built for something greater. He shares how education, faith, and the right mentors helped him rebuild his mindset and redirect his drive toward helping others do the same. Throughout the conversation, Andre and Darius explore the real meaning of redemption, why self-awareness is key to change, and how people can break free from their environments, no matter how deep the hole seems. In this episode, Darius and Andre will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to Greatness and Transformation (05:13) The Awakening: Setting Goals in Solitary Confinement (12:26) Mental Resilience: Surviving Solitary Confinement (17:15) Breaking the Cycle: From Gang Leader to Harvard Fellow (27:08) The Cost of Incarceration (28:28) Psychological Impact of Imprisonment (29:17) Comparing Global Prison Systems (30:54) The Historical Context of Prisons (32:42) Reforming the Penal System (34:06) Barriers to Change in Corrections (39:39) Rebuilding the System from Scratch (41:37) The Importance of Education (45:11) Changing Outcomes through New Approaches (46:25) Community Involvement for Change (50:52) Overcoming Barriers to Greatness Andre Norman is living proof that second chances are real. Once facing a 105-year prison sentence and leading gang activity behind bars, he turned his life around through education, faith, and determination. Today, as the founder of The Academy of Hope, he works to reduce prison violence and promote rehabilitation. His message of transformation has reached audiences worldwide, from TEDx stages to Harvard University and London Business School.

In today's "Prison Pulpit" podcast I talk about my first day in India, the "hidden" Rawang people of northern Myanmar/Tibet, and we go back over Wang Yi's final family newsletter before his arrest in December, 2018. I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I share, among other things, daily reminders to pray for China. Also, feel free to email any questions or comments to bfwesten at gmail dot com. And last but not least, learn more about (most of) our strategic prayer and missions projects @ PrayGiveGo.us! Killing Time in Calcutta https://chinacall.substack.com/p/killing-time-in-a-calcutta-burial So I’m currently recording in my little hotel room just outside the Calcutta airport in India’s West Bengal State, having flown in late last night. India, as you may know, is probably more hostile to the Gospel than it has been for some time. Many missionaries have been kicked out in recent years, including some friends of mine, and it’s generally not a good idea to announce that you are a missionary when applying for a visa or coming through immigration. “Tourist” will do just fine, thank you. Once you’re in, you can pretty much do what you want. I have to admit I was a tiny bit nervous coming in last night, because I’m still a somewhat shell-shocked after what happened exactly a month ago while trying to enter Egypt on a short, run-of-the-mill (research) trip, when I was denied entry and deported a few hours later (seemingly) for having too many tracts in my backpack. So I was happy to make it into India last night with nary a question (and no bag scanners). The only thing dodgy about my arrival were the mosquitoes that have taken up permanent residence in the Calcutta airport, and the lack of sidewalks between the terminal and my hotel about ½ mile away. BTW, go back and check out the podcast and substack I posted around Nov 1 (the link is here in the show notes): https://chinacall.substack.com/p/the-millionaire-missionary Bibles for the Hidden Rawang People of Myanmar and Tibet https://www.asiaharvest.org/bibles-for-the-hidden-rawang-people Back to the Prison Pulpit The goal of the Prison Pulpit series is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” Today we look back on Wang Yi's yearly family newsletter to his church, which was sent out in late November 2018, just two weeks before his arrest and the church’s forced closure… https://chinacall.substack.com/p/wang-yi-family-newsletter-11-27-2018 Follow China Compass Subscribe to China Compass wherever you get your podcasts.

What's the real reason your business growth feels like you're carrying bricks uphill? On today's episode, Michael Walsh takes us behind the curtain of business growth, from "we're doing fine" to "we're doing great, but I'm drowning anyway." He walks through the hidden growth blockers (structures, people, manager vs. individual contributor), his "Freedom by Design" framework, and how to shift your business from a grind to something that actually frees you.  

Today begins with Acts 12 and the miraculous rescue of Peter from prison by an angel. Reflecting on this story, Fr. Mike helps us grapple with the mysterious reality that we are each called to say "Yes" to God's destination for us, even when we might not know the way. Lastly, Fr. Mike delves into St. Paul's hard teachings to the Corinthians on sexuality morality and excommunication. Today's readings are Acts 12, 1 Corinthians 5-6, and Proverbs 28:1-3. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
