Since the Taliban took over from a US-led government in Afghanistan in 2021, the economic challenges facing the country have been huge. The amount of aid going in to the country has dropped, the banking system is difficult to navigate, and international investors are staying away. That's before considering the economic impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and droughts, which have frequently ravaged rural areas. Government investment seems unlikely, so experts and business owners hope that the private sector can help to rebuild Afghanistan after years of turmoil.

From April 24, 2024: The annual U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) Legal Conference convenes lawyers across government and the private sector working on cyber issues. This year's conference focused on the power of partnerships. Executive Editor Natalie Orpett moderated a panel, titled “The Business of Battle: Navigating the Role of the Private Sector in Conflict,” featuring Jonathan Horowitz of the International Committee for the Red Cross, Laurie Blank of the Defense Department's Office of the General Counsel, and Adam Hickey of the law firm Mayer Brown. They talked about how government and private sector actors bring different frames of reference and different equities when faced with a conflict, and how they can work together to address it.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – Government agencies find a reason to justify their existence. They create rules and regulations and methods of controlling us, average citizens, and the entrepreneurs, who want to start businesses and provide jobs for people. These government employees don't want to get a job in the private sector, and why would they? They might actually be tasked with...
Send us fan responses! If you think your Social Security number proves ownership, wait until the court calls it “probate.” We walk through how that number ties to a public Sesta Que Vie trust where you enjoy benefits but the state holds legal title—and why that split keeps families stuck in taxes, fees, and delays. The shift is profound yet practical: move from public default to private design with a family trust that you create, fund, and govern, so control lives where your legacy lives.We unpack equitable vs legal title using plain language, then connect the dots to wages, licenses, car registrations, and why assets in your legal name flow through probate. From there, we map how trusts function as legal persons, how co‑mingling and the doctrine of merger quietly wreck good plans, and how to structure trusteeship so successors actually lead. We spotlight what the greats get right—family foundations, 508(c)(1)(A) beneficiaries, and disciplined governance—so your last name becomes a durable enterprise rather than a file number.You'll hear a clear pathway: establish a private family trust, fund it with real titles and assignments, train trustees, and route insurance and income with intent. We also cover common codes and terms in context—Sesta Que Vie, SPVs, amalgamation—so you can see how the public system administrates while a private plan controls. If you're ready to stop being just a beneficiary and start acting like a trustee, this is your blueprint.Subscribe for more deep, practical breakdowns, share this with someone building a legacy, and leave a review to tell us the next question you want answered.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Send us fan responses! The door cracks open on a quiet clubhouse and suddenly a bigger world appears: private communities building their own credit power, furnishing their own data, and charting a path to a community-owned bank. We walk you through the rooms where the paperwork becomes practice, where mentors with deep experience show how bonds, notes, and trust units get recognized by the systems that matter—Bloomberg, DTCC, Euroclear, Clearstream—and why that recognition turns private agreements into real leverage.We break down the role of a data furnisher in plain language and connect it to a practical plan: reporting instrument details and payment performance so custodians and investors can verify authenticity, price risk, and rate your instruments. That's the difference between hoping a lender believes you and presenting a documented track record for your trust, ministry, or enterprise. Along the way, we talk about what it takes to issue securities, the basics of trust and contract law, and how families, churches, and ministries securitize agreements to build durable access to capital.You'll also hear where the momentum is headed: investor commitments, milestones toward licensure, and live meetings in Atlanta designed to show the framework up close. No hype, just the playbook—how to create data that institutions respect, how to move from private order to public credibility, and how communities can step into real ownership of their financial narrative.If this sparks something, join us.

Send us fan responses! Ever wondered why some people seem to navigate the financial world with ease while others struggle no matter how hard they work? The answer lies in understanding the powerful distinction between public and private sectors that Don Kilam masterfully unpacks in this eye-opening episode.Kilam reveals how we unknowingly operate as "sole traders" in the public sector from birth, creating a legal amalgamation that makes us personally liable for everything associated with our legal names. This corporate structure - built through birth certificates, social security cards, and government IDs - keeps most people trapped in a system they don't fully comprehend.The game-changing revelation comes when Kilamexplains that "the private sector creates the public sector" - not the other way around. By establishing your nationality through state allegiance rather than federal citizenship, you position yourself differently within the legal framework. This shift allows you to operate under case law rather than being bound by codes and statutes that limit your financial freedom.Particularly fascinating is Kilam's breakdown of how affidavits function as "two-edged swords" in commerce. When properly executed and left unrebutted, these powerful documents stand as truth and become judgments. This explains why creating your own forms rather than filling out government paperwork is essential for maintaining control.Drawing from his remarkable journey from homelessness to financial prosperity, Kilam shares practical strategies used by the wealthy elite - from non-grantor trusts that provide bulletproof asset protection to the strategic use of stipends and fringe benefits that cover life necessities while remaining non-taxable. His insights on Nevada LLCs and other private business structures reveal pathways to privacy and tax advantages most people never discover.Ready to transform your understanding of money, law, and personal sovereignty? This episode provides the foundational knowledge needed to begin your journey from the public realm of limitations to the private world of true financial freedom.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Er zijn grote risico’s voor het de financiële stabiliteit nu overheden en masse meer geld uitgeven dan dat er binnenkomt aan belastingen. Dat concludeert het Internationaal Monetair Fonds (IMF) op basis van de staatsschulden die naar het hoogste niveau dreigen te stijgen sinds 1948. Volgens het IMF kunnen overheden het geld veel efficiënter inzetten. ‘Daar kan je heel veel geld mee besparen’, ziet ook macro-econoom Edin Mujagic.

Where can your career take you when you're open to learning more? In this episode of the Master Builders series, Annie Ropar—the CFO of the UK's National Wealth Fund (formerly the UK Infrastructure Bank)—joins Riccardo and Shormila for a candid conversation about lifelong learning, leadership humility, and how a start in finance has evolved into purpose-driven management in infrastructure. Annie's dedication to curiosity and building great teams is a throughline in her career. A transition from the private to public sector reshaped Annie's understanding of success—shifting from rapid execution to long-term and varied stakeholder impact. She outlines their different approaches, with the latter's focus extending beyond amassing revenue to providing lasting social value. With humour and realism, Annie speaks to numerous industry motifs, including the senior-level gender gap and the demands of executive leadership. Her perspective highlights why today's major programmes demand a special kind of master builder—one who can leave their ego behind and lift the whole team forward.Key TakeawaysWhy never assuming you're the smartest person in the room is an essential leadership skillHow a recalibration of expectations plays into the transition between sectors and industries;The caring imperative of leadership, and the challenge of setting boundaries;Why joining boards isn't the only possibility for women looking to advance their careers;The unexpected innovation of Canada's infrastructure industry.Quote options:“I really have a fundamental care for not just my box or whether it's a small box, big box, but also about the people around me, even if they work in different parts of the business, et cetera. I always look at it from the perspective of, I'm an owner of this organization. I may not have shares, I may not have a stock certificate, but I am responsible for everyone in this organization.” - Annie RoparThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Follow Shormila Chatterjee: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shormilac/Read Riccardo's latest at https://riccardocosentino.com/ Follow Annie Roper: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annie-ropar-95554b4/ Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

Send us fan responses! The veil between personal freedom and government control is thinner than most realize. This eye-opening exploration of trust law and family sovereignty reveals how your birth certificate secretly converted you into corporate property—and how to reclaim your natural rights through proper legal structures.When you understand that your name itself is a business entity, everything changes. The speaker walks through precisely how to establish your name as an LLC and create a legitimate business relationship with your children through "doing business as" registrations. This isn't theory or wishful thinking—it's demonstrated with actual filing documents and court victories."As a mother, you have supreme rule over your offspring. As a mother, you are the manufacturer," the speaker explains, revealing how maternal authority can be legally established through proper documentation. But there's a critical warning about the "alter ego doctrine" that has invalidated many well-intentioned attempts at sovereignty since 2022, requiring additional layers of protection through holding companies in states like Nevada, Wyoming, and Delaware.The comparison to successful communities like the Amish demonstrates these principles in action—showing how unincorporated contracts and common law agreements create true independence. Similar protections can be achieved through establishing state nationality via oath of allegiance and proper documentation, removing you from federal jurisdiction.Looking at how the wealthy protect themselves through family foundations—like Warren Buffett's family using the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation—provides a blueprint for ordinary families to follow. The difference between success and failure lies in proper implementation and understanding the legal foundations these structures rest upon.Ready to protect your family from government overreach and establish true sovereignty?

Will COP30 be the COP of ‘implementation'? And what would that actually mean? Beyond the famous negotiating halls, climate action is already happening. Businesses, investors and cities are driving real change, and the new green economy is rising in tandem with diplomacy.So can Belém mark the moment when implementation promises turn into reality? This week, Paul Dickinson and Fiona McRaith explore the COP ‘Action Agenda' - the broad range of voluntary climate action that mobilises the private sector, regional governments and civil society. Plus, they consider the extraordinary transformation already reshaping global energy systems and the flow of capital worldwide.Paul and Fiona hear from leading voices who explore how the real economy is accelerating climate action - from boardrooms and bond markets to start-ups across Latin America. Contributing are Marina Grossi, COP30 Special Envoy for the Private Sector; Aniket Shah, Global Head of ESG and Sustainable Finance at Jefferies; Sue Reid, Senior Advisor at Global Optimism; and Daniel Gajardo, Chilean entrepreneur and co-founder of Reciprocal. Together, they outline what to look for this November in Brazil, and ask how we can tell when implementation is truly happening - not just promised.Learn more:

Have you noticed the widening gap between how we expect leaders to behave in the public sphere versus in corporate organizations?In episode 283, Ramona Shaw tackles two timely and important questions: What is happening to leadership and how do we keep our standards intact?From headlines of public leaders dodging accountability to viral social media figures equating leadership with dominance, we're seeing a shift in what some people perceive as “strong leadership.” But in our companies, those signals don't fly. And they shouldn't.Inside this episode, we unpack:Why public and corporate leadership are governed by two different sets of standardsThe seven shared expectations we have of leadersWhat happens when we don't, with real-world cautionary tales from WeWork, Wells Fargo, and KrogerWhy leaders today need to be more explicit than ever about the values they uphold and the behavior they expectWhen organizational standards get fuzzy, cracks form; slowly at first, then suddenly. Misalignment, disengagement, and broken trust are often symptoms of leaders failing to walk the talk. This episode unpacks what's at stake and why now is the time to reestablish what good leadership looks like before external norms start seeping in.

Send us fan responses! Discover the hidden commercial framework behind our legal system and how understanding this structure can transform your approach to court proceedings. This eye-opening conversation reveals strategies used by entities like Disney, who leveraged the "Royal Lives Clause" to challenge tax obligations, and how similar approaches might be applied to personal legal matters.The speakers dive deep into court jurisdiction challenges, explaining the critical difference between appearing "pro se" versus "sui juris" and why this distinction matters. They outline practical steps for responding to court summons, including filing affidavits rather than motions, demanding delegation of authority from judges, and properly handling court communications. The conversation illuminates how judgments become securities that are bundled and sold as bonds, revealing the financial instruments generated through court cases.Perhaps most valuable is their breakdown of how to establish oneself as "foreign" to a jurisdiction by declaring state nationality and registering one's name as a business entity. This approach creates separation between the individual and what they describe as the "corporate fiction" that courts attempt to address. The speakers share specific documents to file, including letters of rogatory, certificates of identity, and fee schedules, all designed to establish that courts must prove their jurisdiction before proceedings can continue.Whether you're facing legal challenges or simply want to understand the commercial foundations of our court systems, this conversation provides rare insights into navigating legal proceedings from a position of knowledge rather than fear. Take control of your legal standing by learning how to properly challenge jurisdiction, respond to identification questions, and understand the true nature of what's happening when you enter a courtroom.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Hotel Mars with Ben Roberts for Sept. 24, 2025Summary by Zoom. Edited.This Hotel Mars program featured a discussion microgravity investor Ben Roberts about the applications and investments in microgravity technology, including its impact on medical treatments, drug formulations, and material sciences. We explored the progress and challenges of commercial space companies in microgravity research and production, with NASA's support programs playing a crucial role in their development. The conversation covered various applications of low microgravity, the competitive landscape of the industry, and the timeline for product development and market entry.John Batchelor welcomed Ben Roberts, an investor in microgravity, to discuss the applications and investments in microgravity technology. Ben explained that microgravity refers to the limited effect of gravity in orbit, which enables innovative applications in medical treatments, drug formulations, and material sciences. He highlighted examples such as creating artificial limbs, developing new drugs, and producing high-quality materials that are not possible on Earth due to gravity's interference. Ben clarified that microgravity applies to any orbit with low enough gravity to affect living systems and material defects, but not enough to eliminate sedimentation or convection.Ben discussed the progress and challenges of commercial space companies, particularly those involved in microgravity research and production. While basic research on space shuttles and the ISS has been ongoing for decades, commercial companies like Varda and Redwire are just beginning to reach commercialization, producing medical seed crystals and elements. He noted that NASA's support through programs like SBIR has been crucial in helping these companies transition from pre-commercial to operational phases. The discussion also touched on the financial challenges these companies face, suggesting that private sector or government investment might be needed to bridge the gap until traditional VCs become involved once commercial viability is proven.Ben continued to discuss various applications of low microgravity, including advanced nanoparticles for drug delivery, accelerated aging studies, and 3D printed cardiac tissue. He explained how these technologies could be more effective when produced in space, despite higher costs. The panelists agreed that while some products could reach the market in 2-5 years, those requiring FDA approval might take longer, with significant progress expected by the 2030s.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Send us fan responses! The veil between what we think we know about America and the legal reality of the United States Corporation is thinner than most realize. Don Kalam peels back this veil with precision and clarity, offering listeners a roadmap to understanding their true legal position and the opportunities that come with this knowledge.At the heart of this eye-opening discussion lies a fundamental distinction: America is the land, the republic; the United States is a legally defined federal corporation (28 USC 3002(15)(A)). This isn't semantic wordplay—it's a crucial legal framework that determines how we interact with government, commerce, and wealth creation. When Donald Trump says "Make America Great Again," he's specifically referencing the republic, not the corporation—a distinction with profound implications.Your state represents your true nation or country, which explains terms like "nationality." Don Kalam draws fascinating parallels between tribal affiliations in countries like Kenya (with over 40 distinct tribes) and private communities in America. The Amish, religious groups, and various organizations function essentially as tribes with their own governance structures. This tribal understanding is key to recognizing how private life operates parallel to the public system.The birth certificate—printed on security paper similar to car titles—represents your entry into a commercial jurisdiction. By using social security numbers and birth certificates as identity in commerce, most Americans unknowingly pledge their labor against the national debt. When you die with assets tied to your social security number, everything must pass through probate, with the government taking its cut first.The alternative? Operating through private trusts, unincorporated associations, and other private structures that allow you to function outside many codes and statutes. Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution guarantees your right to contract—the foundation of private law that enables communities from the Amish to various religious groups to maintain their independence from government regulation.Ready to reclaim your financial sovereignty and create true generational wealth?

Our program primarily focused on Rick's upcoming book "Why Space: The Purpose of People" and his involvement in the New Worlds and Cowboy Ball conference in Austin, which will feature various workshops, speakers, and entertainment. The group discussed the Earthlight Foundation's "Space 4" project for STEM education in Ukraine and an upcoming art exhibition featuring space-themed paintings. The conversation concluded with discussions about NASA leadership challenges, concerns about the Space Launch System program, and plans for future space exploration initiatives.We started out talking about Rick's upcoming book, "Why Space: The Purpose of People," which is set to be released in about a month and a half. The New Worlds and Cowboy Ball conference in Austin, Texas, from October 23-25 was part of the book discussion. .In talking about the New Worlds event, scheduled for October 23-25 at the AT&T Conference Center in Austin, we learned that the event will feature workshops on space investment and space communication, as well as a private workshop on biomedical issues. Nine pre-phase A startups will be showcased throughout the event, and the Space Cowboy Ball will cap off the weekend. Rick emphasized that the event aims to differentiate itself from other space conferences by offering engaging content and avoiding typical conference formats. The event will also feature a variety of speakers, including Orson Scott Card, and will include film screenings and other entertainment.Rick talked about his Earthlight Foundation's "Space 4" project, which aims to raise money for STEM education, particularly for rocket clubs and robotics teams in Ukraine. Charles noted Ukraine's historical contributions to space programs, and Rick expressed hope that Ukraine could become a top space power. The group also discussed an upcoming art exhibition featuring space-themed paintings by Ajay while Rick described the "Cowboy Ball," an awards ceremony and dance party with a costume theme.Rick said his upcoming book was a combination of three books covering the history of space exploration, his personal experiences, and the current state of the space industry. He emphasized that the book aims to convey the deeper reasons behind space exploration rather than technical details. Rick also mentioned that he is considering holding a book reading at an upcoming conference but is still undecided.Rick shared his personal journey, which led him to dedicate his life to a cause that became his life's work. He described a series of events, including a bomb threat at an AA meeting in LA and a conversation with Gene Roddenberry, which influenced his path. Rick mentioned his struggles with alcoholism and how sobriety and a conversation with Elon Musk helped him refocus his goals. He also discussed his desire to make Star Trek a reality, which was inspired by a conversation with Gene Roddenberry. Rick's stories are included in his book.Rick also said discussed the book explores the reasons for human space exploration. He explained that his personal realization of space's purpose began in 2011 and outlined three principles of purpose: protecting and expanding the domain of life, honoring and evolving human civilization, and evolving both culturally and physically. Rick also mentioned that the book includes science fiction vignettes and will be published around October 20th.Ajay shared his op-ed on space exploration and offered to send it to Rick for reference. Rick expressed interest in reading it and suggested Ajay bring it to the upcoming conference. They discussed the importance of having multiple voices in the space community and the progress made in commercial space travel over the years. Rick shared his experiences with Elon Musk and SpaceX, highlighting the challenges and efforts made by various individuals to support space exploration initiatives.Later in the program, Rick expressed concerns about the U.S. government's approach to space exploration, particularly regarding China's potential moon landing in 2029 and the lack of support for private space companies. He criticized Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Babbitt for their support of Chinese lunar ambitions, suggesting that their actions may be influenced by political and cultural factors rather than national interests. Ajay and Charles discussed the possibility of financial motivations behind these political stances, though Rick emphasized that he had no concrete evidence of illicit activities.The group discussed the ongoing challenges with the Space Launch System (SLS) program and the need for alternative solutions. Rick emphasized the importance of private sector development of reusable rocket ships, while Charles and John highlighted the high costs and long delays associated with the current SLS program. The conversation touched on the need to continue working against the SLS program while promoting alternatives, with Rick suggesting that private sector innovation could ultimately provide a solution.All of us, Rick included, shared concerns about NASA leadership, with Rick expressing worry that current NASA leadership lacks the necessary vision and boldness to drive significant change, noting that staff are focused on maintaining personal relationships rather than addressing institutional challenges. They agreed that a strong, decisive leader is needed to address national space priorities, with David suggesting that a space-focused show could help influence decision-makers in the White House. The discussion concluded with plans for an open lines program on September 28th, where participants will have the opportunity to discuss space and defense issues further.Please read the summary and see the Zoom video of this program at doctorspace.substack.com.Our Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Why do well-intentioned initiatives so often fail to deliver results? The answer lies not in strategy but in execution - specifically, in the gap between what people intend to do and what they actually do. Scott Young has spent his career at the intersection of behavioral science and business transformation, advising Fortune 500 companies and teaching at institutions like the London School of Economics. His mission: helping leaders apply behavioral science ethically and effectively to drive real change. In this illuminating conversation, Scott reveals: • Behavioral science offers unique value in helping close the "intent-action gap" where people want to do the right thing but human nature gets in the way • Simple frameworks like COM-B and EAST help leaders think broadly about potential barriers and design effective interventions • Confusion serves as a much bigger barrier than we think, when people get confused, they use it as an "off-ramp" to avoid uncomfortable changes • Most companies over-rely on communication and financial incentives while underestimating the power of environmental design and process changes • Traditional top-down approaches to culture change often fail, instead, define specific behaviors that constitute values like "collaboration" or "innovation" • Leaders should create a "behavioral lens" as part of their leadership toolkit to complement strategy with effective execution • The timeliness of communication often matters more than its content - focus on reaching people at the moment of decision • AI adoption faces 2 key barriers: general resistance to technology change and fear of replacement • Psychological safety is crucial for technology adoption - people need to feel comfortable asking questions and expressing confusion - and where leaders get it wrong, while trying to shift culture towards it ... and so much more! Whether you're leading organizational transformation, building a more innovative culture, or trying to improve adoption of new technologies, this episode offers practical insights you can apply immediately. Learn how to close the intent-action gap and create environments where good intentions translate into consistent results. Tune in! ___________________________
Derek Moore and Shane Skinner talk about the rally in gold no one seems to care about and the gold oil ratio. Then, they go through the indicators used to determine recessions and note they don't seem that bad, although nonfarm payrolls did disappoint. But private sector jobs are growing while the government jobs are falling, so are fed cuts greenlit? Later, looking at S&P 500 net income margin percentage average per decade. Yup, they've been rising each decade. Finally, looking at forward PE ratios against forward EPS and how some stocks like Broadcom got cheaper after last earnings. All this and much more!

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
Australia's housing crisis isn't just a social problem — it's an economic one.In this episode, Robert Pradolin, founder of Housing All Australians, argues that secure, affordable housing must be treated as essential infrastructure for the nation's prosperity. With over 40 years in residential development, Robert brings both insider knowledge and bold solutions to a system that has been failing for decades.We dig into how the private sector can mobilise unused buildings as “pop-up shelters,” why compassionate capitalism is redefining the role of developers, and how innovative construction methods like lightweight timber can cut costs and carbon emissions. Robert also lays out the staggering numbers behind the crisis: a $290 billion shortfall in social and affordable housing, and the economic risks of inaction — including the threat of civil unrest.The conversation challenges the myth that profit and purpose are mutually exclusive, showing instead how private capital, community land, and government policy could combine to unlock large-scale solutions. We also explore global models like inclusionary zoning, what Australia can learn from them, and the need for a national pipeline of prefabricated housing.If you've ever wondered why governments keep stalling, what's holding back institutional investment, and what it will really take to solve this crisis, this episode is essential listening. The message is clear: housing for all isn't optional — it's the foundation of a stable, productive, and fair society.Episode Highlights00:00 – Introduction01:51 – The Journey and Motivation Behind Housing All Australians03:04 – Compassionate Capitalism and Private Sector Involvement04:10 – Strategies and Initiatives for Affordable Housing05:52 – Success Stories and Case Studies09:51 – Challenges and Economic Imperatives21:23 – Comparing Global Approaches to Affordable Housing26:21 – Innovative Construction Techniques and The Green Project27:57 – The Cost of Urban Growth and Housing Diversity28:51 – Timber Construction and Its Benefits30:43 – Innovations in Construction Techniques33:15 – The Role of Government and Private Sector in Housing35:18 – Addressing Homelessness and Housing Affordability37:30 – Unlocking Empty Bedrooms for Key Workers43:11 – Final Thoughts and RecommendationsAbout the GuestRobert Pradolin is the founder of Housing All Australians, a national for-purpose organisation working to harness the resources of the private sector to deliver housing solutions for vulnerable Australians. With a 40-year career spanning greenfield subdivisions to high-rise towers, Robert has held senior roles in some of the country's largest property companies.His journey from mainstream development to housing advocacy was sparked by a confronting realisation: while the industry was serving those who could afford it, government had abandoned its responsibility to house society's most vulnerable. Since then, Robert has become one of the most vocal advocates for treating housing as essential economic infrastructure, not just social welfare.Through Housing All Australians, he has spearheaded projects repurposing vacant buildings into temporary shelter, advanced economic research on the cost-benefit of social housing, and promoted innovative construction methods to reduce costs and emissions. His vision of “compassionate capitalism” challenges the perception of developers as greedy profiteers and instead calls for a business-led response to one of Australia's most urgent crises.Connect with RobertWebsite:
Send us fan responses! Navigating the complex landscape of credit repair and financial sovereignty doesn't have to be overwhelming. In this eye-opening conversation, we dive deep into strategies that transcend conventional financial advice, revealing how everyday people can access extraordinary tax benefits and credit repair opportunities.The journey begins with a fundamental mindset shift: recognizing your name as a business entity. This seemingly simple concept opens doors to tax credits worth up to $500,000 annually—a dramatic increase from the previous $200,000 limit. Rather than complicated schemes, these credits require only basic paperwork and the right approach, making them accessible to entrepreneurs at various stages.Credit repair takes center stage as we expose how credit bureaus process disputes through AI systems programmed to reject legitimate claims. The game-changing solution? Bypassing standard channels by sending disputes directly to legal departments via certified mail. This ensures human review of your case and dramatically improves success rates.Perhaps most powerful is the revelation about arbitration as a credit repair tool. Every credit bureau maintains arbitration clauses in their agreements—clauses you can leverage against them. By pursuing arbitration rather than standard disputes, many have successfully removed negative items and secured compensation up to $10,000 per account for hardships caused by inaccurate reporting.We explore the revolutionary application of Unidroit principles—international commercial contract law that provides powerful leverage in financial disputes. Article 3.2.5 specifically allows contract avoidance when induced by fraudulent misrepresentation or nondisclosure, exactly what occurs when financial institutions fail to disclose securitization processes.Ready to transform your approach to credit repair and financial sovereignty? These strategies represent just the beginning of what's possible when you understand how the system truly works and how to navigate it effectively.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Send us fan responses! Beneath the facade of our legal system lies a complex financial web that few understand and even fewer can navigate. This eye-opening episode strips away the illusions to reveal how court cases are systematically converted into tradable securities without your knowledge or consent.When you enter a courtroom, you're unwittingly stepping into a commercial transaction. Your "court case" is actually a series of bonds – bid bonds, performance bonds, payment bonds – all documented through Government Services Administration forms that most defendants never see. These instruments transform legal proceedings into debt obligations where YOU are the creditor, yet the system has flipped the roles to make you the surety.The mechanisms are sophisticated yet decipherable. Court clerks function as accountants, depositing these securities with the Depository Trust Company in New York. Judgments are stamped "pay to the order of," taken to federal discount windows, and bundled into securities traded globally. All while judges and attorneys operate as unregistered agents of international financial institutions rather than servants of justice.Most critically, your birth certificate functions as collateral, pledging your body as surety for United States debt. When you "understand the charges" in court, you're actually accepting responsibility for these commercial obligations. But there are remedies: stock power forms, letters of rogatory, and establishing foreign status can help reclaim your position as beneficiary rather than trustee.This knowledge isn't merely academic – it's practical, actionable intelligence for anyone facing legal challenges. By understanding the true nature of these proceedings, you can potentially access the value of bonds created in your name and escape the trap of being treated as property within a corporate system.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Understanding business fundamentals is crucial for success outside government roles.QUOTES“You're not worth what you think you're worth. You have to demonstrate that worth.” “Take off the government hat—now go and jump into the business world.” “The intro is so critical in a lot of these cases.

Send us fan responses! Prosperity is your divine birthright—but are you positioned to claim it? In this eye-opening session, Dr. Don Kilam dismantles common misconceptions about the Social Security Trust system and delivers crucial knowledge on financial sovereignty that few are willing to share publicly.Discover the stunning truth about your relationship with public trust systems. Your Social Security number isn't the asset—your labor is. This fundamental distinction explains why millions remain trapped in beneficiary status while private families build generational wealth as trustees. Dr. Kilam breaks down how government entities act as trustees of the Social Security Trust (originating from the 1666 Cesti Que Vie Act), which places individuals in a position where they can only receive benefits rather than control assets.The session delves deep into securitization processes, revealing how labor and assets are converted into financial instruments that primarily benefit system administrators rather than individuals. Learn why the Social Security Trust operates as a debt-discharging mechanism within a bankrupt system and how this impacts your financial positioning. Dr. Kilam doesn't just identify problems—he presents solutions through private alternatives.Moving beyond theory, Dr. Kilam introduces practical pathways to financial sovereignty through private family trusts, churches, and tribal structures that function outside direct government control while maintaining legal protection. He also explores the powerful distinction between claiming status as an American national versus a United States citizen, referencing specific legal codes that define these relationships differently.In today's economy where "$20 million is the new millionaire," traditional approaches to financial security fall dramatically short. This session provides the foundation for a complete paradigm shift in how you view wealth creation, asset protection, and generational prosperity. Ready to move from beneficiary to trustee? From waiting for handouts to creating your own financial systems?

Episode 4669: GDP Up 3% And Private Sector Growth
Alan Rozenshtein, Senior Editor and Research Director at Lawfare, sits down with Sezaneh Seymour, Vice President and head of regulatory risk and policy at Coalition and a former Senior Adviser on the National Security Council staff, and Brandon Wales, Vice President for cybersecurity strategy at SentinelOne and the former Executive Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), to discuss their new Lawfare Research Report, “Partners or Provocateurs? Private-Sector Involvement in Offensive Cyber Operations.”They talk about why, in the face of escalating cyber threats from state and criminal actors, U.S. officials are reevaluating the policy that currently reserves offensive cyber operations as a government-only function. Rather than endorsing a change, Seymour and Wales propose a structured framework to guide the policy debate. This framework is built on three key factors: first, defining the core policy objectives for involving the private sector; second, determining the appropriate scope of authorized activities, including what actions are permissible and who can be targeted; and third, addressing the complex legal and liability considerations, especially when operations cause harm to innocent third parties. They conclude by weighing the potential for private actors to augment U.S. capabilities against the significant risks of escalation and diplomatic fallout.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
